The true king in fiore

Chapter 18: my resolve

Natsu was laying down on the ground, smiling because of his triumph over Gajeel, and destroying the Phantom's Giant Yu was currently on the walls and Lucy was being carried by Happy, flying over where Gajeel and Natsu lay.

Lucy: "Natsu!

Natsu: "I can't move right now..."

Lucy: "sheesh. You overdo it, you know?

Happy: "aye! He's all right!"

Yu warp down, making Natsu, Lucy and Happy look at him.

Yu: "you such an idiot you know that." *smiled*

But suddenly an ominous energy then began to reveal itself. Yu realized this and looked in the direction of this energy... inside the destroyed Giant.

Yu: (That wasn't there before... Jose must have powered up, but against who? No is it, Erza! There's nothing any of us can do either. Jose is too strong for us to face.)

The sky then began to gather on top of the giant, and a new source of energy showed up, this one being nothing like Jose, this was warmer, and more light. Yu instantly realized who it was, and smiled, now knows who that person is.

Yu: "you finally showed up, Huh, master."

Inside the Giant

Jose currently had Erza under the wraps of his spell, until some kind of magic power release Erza from Jose's power. Erza turned to face who freed her, and smiled when she saw Master Makarov, who was currently furious at Jose.

Erza: "Master..."

Makarov: "You have shed the blood of my children, and that is unforgivable. They are suffering because of the incompetence of their parents. This war has gone on far enough. It's time we end this, here and now!"

Jose then closed his eyes and placed his hand over his face. When he opened his eyes they were pitch black.

Jose: "If we fight then it could create a catastrophe."

Makarov then charged his magical energy into his fingers and prepared to fight.

Makarov: "If it is for the sake of the guild I will gladly take that risk!"

The two then glared at eachother, the Saints ready to settle the scores between eachother. Gray, Mirajane and Elfman, feeling the warmth of Makarov's energy then woke up.

Gray: "This warmth... it reminds me of Gramps."

Gray then realized that Makarov is about to fight with Jose. Jose then launched a wave of shadow magic at Makarov and Erza, and in retaliation, Makarov then summoned a magic shield to guard from Jose's attack.

Makarov: "Children, get out while you still can!"

Gray and Elfman then managed to get up.

Gray: "What?! No way!"

Elfman: "We're gonna stay here with you!"

Erza: "No! It's best that we listen to what he says and leave!"

Gray: "But..!"

Erza: "Don't argue with me Gray!"

Gray: "O-okay."

Erza and Gray then followed after Elfman, who was currently being supported by Mirajane to the outside so that they could return to the remains of the Guild Hall.

Jose: "I've been waiting to get revenge on you for six years Makarov, SIX YEARS. Back then, my guild was still considered number 1 and no one even knew the name of your guild! Now, look at your guild! Now, it's been reduced to nothing but RUBBLE!"
