Fairy Tail's Dying Will (Discontinued)

Chapter 26 Howl of the Loser

As Aria looked at Homura, he noticed how intensely the flames on Homura's gloves and forehead burned. A smirk appeared on Aria's face as he was prepared. He remembered how Gajeel mentioned defeating this boy. Homura was nothing to fear.

"You're Aria? Let me ask you something so I can confirm. You're the one who put Gramps in his condition?"

"How sorrowful. You came all this way for a vendetta. But yes, it was I who put Makarov in his pl-"

Before Aria could finish his sentence, Homura punched the man right in the face with his X-Gloves coated in Dying Will Flames. After he punched Aria towards a wall, Homura swiftly flew towards the man and launched a barrage of punches at the man's gut. After landing a final punch upon Aria's head, Homura jumped back to gain some distance.

"I may be the weakest person at the Fairy Tail guild...but i'm more than enough to make you pay for your crimes. Both you and Phantom Lord!!!!!!!"

"This boy....is he really the same boy that Gajeel defeated?! In any case, I can still beat him. Not only that, if I can drag out this fight, the Abyss Break will fire. We'll win!!!!!"

"Zetsu!!!!!"

Aria extends one of his hands before him, its palm open, something which prompts a series of airspaces to be fired at the target. This barrage then explodes on contact, generating small and yet powerful blasts, destroying some of the area. As Homura was flying around by launching his flames backwards for propulsion, Aria kept launching the barrage of airspaces.

"Know your place, boy!!!! I am Aria of the Sky!!!! The strongest of the Element Four. This spot shall be your grave!"

"I can't afford that. If I fall here after seeing my comrades hurt, seeing them cry, and after seeing Makarov so badly injured.....after knowing you're trying to take away someone precious to us.....I CAN NEVER DIE IN PEACE!!!!!"

As Homura flew downwards with incredible speed, he clenched his right fist as the Dying Will Flames increased in size and burned brighter. Seeing this, Aria smirked as he launched more airspaces at Homura.

"This is the en-"

"No, not even close. This is just the beginning."

As Homura saw the airspace launched at him, he simply threw a punch with his flame coated fist. A large gust of wind consumed the area. As Aria looked up, he saw some rubble falling down as dust was in the air. However, before he could find Homura, a fist coated in Dying Will Flames was slammed into his chest. As Aria was seen flying into a wall, he felt his chest being burned by the flames.

"Aria of the Sky.....are you ready to repent?"

~Meanwhile~
As the members of Fairy Tail were fighting off Jose's shades, they took a quick look at Phantom Lord's headquarters. The magic circle for the Abyss Break was getting closer and closer to completion. While this happened, Yamamoto quickly looked towards Gokudera.

"It looks like that magic circle is almost done. Haha, looks like we're in trouble."

"Don't joke, you idiot. Like hell the boss will ever lose."

As Gokudera and Yamamoto looked towards the enormous magic circle, they couldn't help but worry. However, Homura trusted them to help the members of Fairy Tail fight against Phantom's soldiers. While Gokudera held onto his dynamite, Yamamoto held his katana as they shared the same thought.

"We're counting on you, Homura/Boss!!!"

Time until Abyss Break's completion:4 minutes

~With Homura~
Homura was seen flying around as Aria tried to blast him with Zetsu. As Homura was flying around, he noticed something. It was just for a moment, but he could've sworn he saw his flames getting dim.

"Dammit....I can't let myself go out like this. I have to finish this quickly!"

Soon Homura flew towards Aria at high speed. While this happened, Aria launched more airspaces at Homura. Just as Homura was about to dodge, he noticed that none of Aria's attacks hit him. Soon his eyes widen in shock as he turned around, but it was too late.

Rubble from the ceiling was falling down on Homura. While the rubble fell on him, Homura screamed in pain as some of it hit his head, causing blood to run down his skull. Soon the ceiling stopped collapsing on him. As he was quickly trying to get the rubble off of him, he looked ahead only for Aria to be nowhere in sight.

"Dammit! Where did he go?!"

"How sorrowful. You came all this way to avenge your friends, only to share the same fate as your Master. Airspace.....Metsu!"

This spell was the exact same spell that Aria used to take down Makarov. As Aria was behind Homura, he places his hands before him, their open palms facing each other as he envelops Homura within an airspace.

Time until Abyss Break's completion:2 minutes

"This spell drains a target of their magic power. The Magic then hangs in the air, before it ultimately dissipates. The damage dealt is equivalent to the target's magic power! I've won, Homura Sa-"

"A spell this weak isn't enough to bring me down."

"What th-"

Before Aria realized it, he screamed in pain as Homura punched him in the chest with a flame coated fist. Shortly afterwards, Homura punched Aria's face continuously as his flames grew hotter and hotter. While this happened, Aria had one quetsion.

"How? How can you not be affected by my spell?"

"Your spell is a force to be reckoned with against a powerful wizard. But did you forget who you're dealing with. I'm Homura Sawada, the boy with no magic!!!!!!! When it comes to magic, there's no one weaker than me!!!"

With one final roar, Homura focused all of the Dying Will Flames he could muster onto his right hand. With great force, Homura slammed his right fist onto Aria's head as the floor beneath the man shattered as Aria fell down into the hole in the floor. The moment Homura landed that punch, he was no longer in Hyper Dying Will Mode as he was breathing heavily.

".....I won.....Mister Makarov."

As Homura was struggling to keep standing, he heard the sound of footsteps rushing towards him. When he looked to the side, he noticed a familiar blue cat flying into the room along with a boy with pink hair.

"What took you so long.....Natsu?"

"Heh. I knew I could count on you, Homura."

As Homura saw Natsu approaching him, he saw the pink hair boy hold out a fist towards him. Seeing his confusion, Natsu just nods his head towards his fist. With a smile on his face, Homura decided to return the favor by bumping his own fist with Natsu's.

"Are you ready, Homura?"

"Of course...after all, we have to show them what happens when they mess with Fairy Tail!!!!!"
