"Gray!" Natsu runs at lightning speed after we managed to escape the liquid ground. Natsu's feet skid to a stop as he finally reaches him and I arrive shortly after. "With this key, we can save our friends... save everyone!" Gray says and shows Natsu and I a key made of ice. "What?" Natsu and I ask.

"Their goal was to use the Dragon Chain Cannon to crash the lacrima into Extalia. But if we hit the lacrima directly with the cannon's condensed Dragon Slayer magic... we can turn everyone back to normal!" Gray explains.

"Well then let's go!" Natsu says.

"Huh?" Natsu raises a brow.

"There's no way to get inside the room." Gray responds.

"We can just barge through it, now that we can use magic and all!" Natsu says.

"No. It's apparently made with a "Wizard Canceler" anti-magic lacrima or something." Gray tells us. As we stand thinking, we hear people coming towards us. It's me and Erza. "Here you are." Erza says. We stand in a fighting position.

Me looks at me. "We have a plan!" She says.

"Huh?" I ask. "Where's Coco?" I ask.

"We met up with some blondie that got stuck under the octopus. Anyway, you have to get dressed!" Me says as she removes her shirt.

I yelp and place my hands over both Gray and Natsu's eyes.

We walk to the doors. Erza drags Natsu and Gray in ropes while I walk alongside her. I was wearing a different outfit and my hair was put into a hairstyle that made it look shorter. "Captain Knightwalker and Princess!" The guards explain and take a knee. "How did you get those injuries?" A guard asks.

"It's nothing." Erza answers.

"And who are they?" The guards ask.

"The keys to the Dragon Chain Cannon." I answer.

"K-keys?" They question.

"Stand up." I order and they do so. I then ask, "Is father inside?"

"Yes! Please go on in!" They say. The door slowly lift up and I look at Erza. "Everlasting magic power is now withing our grasp." She says to convince the guards. We walk inside.

"Erza. Is it true that you've brought the key?" The king asks.

"It seems it was destroyed, but fear not." Erza says.

"What do you mean?" The king asks and Erza throws Gray in front of her.

"This one can make the key." Erza responds.

"Who is he?" The king asks.

"An Earth Land wizard." Erza responds. She adds, "He is one of the Dragon Slayers' comrades."

"Is he connected with the lacrima that disappeared from the town plaza?"

"Indeed." Erza answers.

"And you," The king looks at me, "Why are you here? You ran off with the key and now you're back?"

I look down at the ground, "I can't stop this from happening, so I wanna be here when it does."

"No matter. Have him activate the Dragon Chain Cannon at once." The king orders. Erza cuts the rope and holds Natsu, placing the sword to his neck. "Stand, ice wizard." Erza says. Gray stands and looks at the machine. "Activate the Dragon Chain Cannon." Erza says next.

"Hurry!" Erza pushes. Gray makes the key. All whispered impressed. Gray walks over and places the key in and twists. The machine glows.

"Oh! Wonderful! Splendid!" The king stares. The room lights up red and the place starts to shake. A huge red pillar is shot into the sky. "This is the end." Erza whispers. She then releases Natsu and pushes him. He smirks and sets his body on fire, burning off the ropes. Two circular bolts of light appear in my hands.

a/n: sort of like starfire from teen titans lol

"What?!" The king exclaims.

"Fire Dragon: Wing Attack!" Natsu casts and gets rid of some of the guards. I throw rays of light towards the guards to my left side and get rid of them. Erza runs over to the king and places her sword at his neck. "The launch is off!" She yells.

Erza requips into her regular armor, "I am Erza Scarlet. The Earth Land Erza!" She announces.

"Your quick thinking saved the day!" Gray tells Erza.

"You fell for it! This was plan D! D for deception!" Natsu laughs.

"Aim the Dragon Chain Cannon at the lacrima!" I demand.

"Don't listen to her! Fire it now!" The king yells at his guards.

They stand in confusion. One guard yells, "You guys are cowards for resorting to taking hostages!"

"So what? We'll do whatever we have to for our friends." I respond.

"Hurry." Erza says.

"Do it! His Majesty's in danger!"

"Never mind me! Fire it and exterminate the Exceeds!" The king yells back at the guards.

"Change of target! Aim for the giant lacrima!" A guard says.

"You fools! You're gonna ruin our chance for everlasting magic power!" The king shouts. Suddenly we hear a loud shout, "Scarlet!" We look up and see Edolas Erza fly down at Erza, causing to let go of the king to protect herself.

"Now! Reset to the original target!" The king demands.

"Fire!" King shouts.

We just stand and watch as it all happens.

"Crash it into Extalia!" King shouts.

"Stop!" Natsu screams. A thing then crashes into the room. "Guys!" We hear. We look over and see Lucy, Edolas me, and Coco on a big blue thing. "Get on!" She shouts.

"How does this girl have a legion?!" I hear the King ask.

"It's mine!" Edolas me shouts. We get on and it starts flying up. "Can we stop it with this thing?!" Natsu asks Lucy.

"I don't know, but we hafta try!" Lucy responds. The thing roars loudly as we start to fly away.

From a distance we see the lacrima falling really fast. "Hurry!" Edolas me tells the thing we're riding on and the thing speeds up. The thing roar and crashes in front of the lacrima.

"Stay strong, Legion!" Edolas me says. We all try using some our magic to help. Gajeel and Happy jump onto the legion. The others and I have the hands on the island, trying to push it back ourselves.

"We're gonna stop it!" I shout after hearing a black cat saying it's not possible. "It's going to squish us." I hear Lucy mutter.

"Stay strong!" Erza yells. I look up and see thousands of Exceeds flying over and helping us push the thing back. We continue pushing. Until final, the lacrima was pushed back. The lacrima then starts glowing and release light into the sky. The whole thing then becomes covered in light and we all get sent back.

We're all being flown by exceeds. We see the lacrima vanished. So the did the Apocalyptic Dragon Chain. "It's returned to Earth Land." We hear someone say. I look up.

"Jellal!" I hear my Edolas self cry.
