Chapter 11 – A True Saint

Cana wasn't having fun at all. Normally, she would just be at the bar and chugging down barrels of booze. If a fight got under way, she and Nic would move to the back of the bar and chill there. She could really use a barrel right now, because after all that has been going down she's going to need all the booze she can stomach when this is all over. At the moment, she had to make sure that the giant shade blob didn't destroy anyone just like it did with their Guild Hall.

Everyone there wasn't able to do anything. The only thing that was really an option at that point was watch as the blob finish destroying their Guild Hall. Tears were on a lot of faces, especially those who were low on Magic. Macao and Wakaba were both clenching their fist so hard that blood had almost stopped circulating to their hands. Cana felt her insides crumble and quake as the beast slammed the ruins of the Guild Hall yet again.

Nevertheless, she had to put forth all of the effort she can if she's going to stop this thing. She turned and looked at all of the weary faces about. The other guild members were just as shaken up as she was, if not worse. She had to pull herself together if she wanted to ensure Fairy Tail's survival. She turned and looked at everyone behind her.

"Everyone listen up!" Cana yelled, trying to get their undivided attention. "This is far from over. There's absolutely no way that we're letting it all here. Our Guild Hall may be destroyed, but we're still standing as proud Fairy Tail members. Our friends had put their best efforts into finally stopping the Abyss Break, and now we have to do the same and stop this thing. We're going to stop end this war because we are Fairy Tail!"

Everyone there cheered and were inspired by her speech. There was no way they were going to take a defeat lying down like they are now. If the guys inside were able to stop the Abyss Break, then they can stop this blob as well. The brunette let out a heap of air, relieved to see everyone not letting up now that she encouraged them. Who knew being in charge was so difficult? Nic had explained to her one time that he tells all of his pokémon what to do, maybe that leadership rubbed off on her, who knows. She's probably going to have to chat with him about this whole "Trainer" thing.

At this point in time, the giant monster had just finished pulverizing the Guild Hall. Now it had a new target in mind. The Fairy Tail Mages were in a tight bind with themselves as the new target.

"Everyone, unleash your strongest spells on one point!" Macao shouted out to the group. "If we do that, then this thing should stop!"

They all cheered and conjured up whatever magic they had left. This was all or nothing, and they weren't going to take nothing for an answer. They were all aware if this failed, then they were screwed.

"Now!" Cana ordered.

Cana fired the last of her cards, Macao unleashed his biggest purple flames yet, Wakaba unleashed a thick stream of smoke, and everybody in general unleashed their spells onto a single point. An explosion enveloped the monster and everyone's vision was obscured for a few moments. This also caused quite a bit of dust to be swirled about.

"Is it over? We won?" Wakaba said.

The dust was clearing up and every single one of their jaws dropped when they saw that the jellyfish shade was hardly even fazed. Cana almost cursed every word she knew when the monster turned out to be unaffected.

"Everyone, retreat!" Cana yelled. With all of their magic used up now, everyone was powerless and unable to do anything. The large shade then began approaching them and Cana was almost ready to shed a tear.

'Somebody, help us.' Cana mentally pleaded.

Several giant tentacles then rushed at the Mages that were running for cover. Out of the blue, several very large magic circles appeared and stopped the assault.

Everyone looked to see that Makarov has just arrived with Lucy and Reedus and Kecleon following not long after. They all started to shed tears of joy when they saw the Master well and standing again.

"Will you never harm my children!" Makarov proclaimed. He was floating in the air and had a lot of power ready to be unleashed. The guild members cheered.

The Master held up his two hands and two seals were shown, and then two large seals were on both sides of the giant jellyfish monster.

"Begone!" Makarov then brought his two hands with the seals together and a very bright light was unleashed on the large creature from the large seals. The light illuminated the area for a good few seconds as the monster screamed as it dissolved into nothing.

"We look on the bright side of things." Kecleon said. When they saw that the monster was no more, everyone at the scene cheered in honor of their Master.

With Erza and the others

Everyone panted as they had finally made it back to shore. The only ones who weren't panting were Natsu, Happy, and Arbok. Natsu didn't need to run since Happy had carried him all the ways. Arbok didn't pant at all since it didn't have feet to begin with.

The way back was longer than they had thought. They had to find another escape route since the giant had reshaped their entry point. Another factor was that Gray's Ice Make: Floor was starting to melt.

They all came back just in time to see Master destroy the horrid monster. They all looked over and saw everyone cheering for stopping the shades.

"Hey, it's Master!" Gray said, running with everyone up to where everyone else was. Everyone had finally caught up to the others that were with Master Makarov. Everyone cheered even louder with their safe return.

"The Master finished the job like a real man." Elfman noted.

Mira smiled, happy to see that Master had made a recovery and even vanquished a powerful threat. Happy had set Natsu down and he smirked at the Master.

"Well Gramps, you sure showed them." Natsu said. Arbok hissed as Kecleon walked up to his side.

"Lots of craziness today." Kecleon said.

"Tell me something I don't know." Arbok said, nonchalant.

"Thank goodness that you're alright Master." Erza said. Makarov nodded and looked at everyone and then looked at the team that had just went to stop the Abyss Break Spell.

"I am glad that you are all alright." Master said. Everyone then began to catch up with one another on the situations that they were all put through.

Lucy had begun explaining how Kecleon had saved her and Reedus, after which was when Natsu and Happy told how Arbok helped them out with the fight. Erza wasn't paying too much attention as the two explained how they went through some stuff. She was also glad that the Master was alive.

The scarlet-haired Mage was staring at Phantom's guild hall, thinking that not everyone has returned yet. Everyone then realized that Nic had yet to return, bringing forth some concerns within the guild members.

'Nic, please be okay.' Erza thought, then everyone had noticed a large hole from the giant, revealing the battle that was taking place from inside.

With Nic and Greninja

This wasn't a good situation to be in, especially if you were the one who had just angered Nic. If you anger Nic, then you're going to wish that the apocalypse had ended you instead of him. Greninja wasn't as angry as Nic, but he can be just as destructive as him.

Both had lost count as to how many times they had been shocked, but they weren't paying attention. Nic was snarling and was really pissed off. Jose had destroyed the Guild Hall and was laughing about it, which wasn't the best thing to do in front of Nic.

Jose then noticed that Makarov had just arrived and destroyed his shades with his Light Magic. Seeing Makarov alive was a sight that disgusted him. He had a foul scowl on his face. Thanks to the hole from earlier, he also saw Natsu, Erza, and the others making it back to shore. He turned and looked at Nic with a murderous gaze.

"You through, because I'm ready to hammer your face into oblivion!" Nic said, rather foul. He was too caught up in battle to pay attention to Makarov and the others back on shore. He had a solution, and he was going to get him and his buddy out of the trap.

He inhaled and then had spit out a small seed from his mouth. The seed speeded its way and had landed itself onto Jose's outfit. Jose looked down and looked at the tiny seed and chuckled.

"Seriously? Is this all you have left-?" He was then feeling the seed sprout and vines rapidly started to tangle around his torso. The vines latched onto him and he looked on in shock.

"What is this?!" Jose demanded to know. Suddenly, he felt his energy being slowly sapped away, and he looked and saw that Nic wasn't as damaged as before. He was slowly sapping at Jose's energy, making him grunt and flinch. "My power…the hell?!"

Nic then started to glow turquoise and he then began engulfing the energy that bind him and Greninja in a green coating. The sunglasses on his eyes lit up red as the energy traced back to Jose and made him wail as he was being inflicted with a Leech Seed and Giga Drain combo. Nic kept this up for a nice ten seconds, and that's when Jose started trembling from energy loss and the magic that constricted him and Greninja was slowly dissolving, putting them both back on the ground. In mere moments, Jose was back on his feet, but was smashed in the face with a Needle Arm that drove him into an unbroken wall.

Nic snarled as he was just getting started. He had lots of energy now thanks to those two moves. Jose then appeared in front of him and the two were going back to back with Needle Arm and Darkness Magic enhanced fists. Each blow was terrifying. With every strike, wind surged with Jose's foul Magic and Nic's fury.

Leech Seed was still attached and Jose flinched as he felt himself get sapped, which left him open.

"Dark Pulse!" Greninja finally got his turn to unleash his fury and landed a clean hit with Dark Pulse smashing Jose and knocking him over. Nic then used Power Whip, making his arm extend and turn purple, and slammed Jose with all his might, making the ground quake and almost shatter. Jose was left in a ten foot diameter.

Nic then backed away to Greninja's side. Both of them felt good burning off steam, so their anger was beginning to filter.

They saw Jose come at them yet again, with more anger in his eyes as well. Both got a Darkness Magic coated fist. The two blocked it by grabbing the two fists and clenched on. They were almost shaking from the potential might of crushing Jose's hands. Jose grunted as he felt pain in the hands and the Leech Seed sapped at him yet again.

The both then unleashed a combination of Water Shuriken and Seed Bomb, which created dust and as well as another crater, though not as large as the Power Whip. Now their steam was pretty much used up.

They were both panting, Nic from back to back attacks, and Greninja with him not being able to recover from any damage. They both then shifted their gazes and noticed that the Guild Hall was still in ruins, but everyone was unharmed. He saw Makarov there, and Lucy and Natsu and everyone else, he saw Kecleon and Arbok, even a certain Requip Mage watching him fight. There was a long pause as he saw every one of them looking up at him with determination to win.

Seeing everyone okay was all it took for Nic's anger to dispel. Nobody was killed and everyone was putting their faith in the two. Both then looked at each other and smirked.

"Think we're winning?" Nic asked. The second he had finished saying that was when the ground shook with Jose rising up from the crater and making the Leech Seed decay from his Magic. His power was still growing and his maniac facial expression was still plastered on his face.

"Eh, we still got a ways to go." Greninja said.

Now that Nic could think straight with a more calm vibe, he thought of a way to get them the upper hand.

"Follow my lead." Nic then began dashing towards the broken wall that lead to the outside. Greninja followed in his steps, but Jose was determined to exterminate them on the spot.

"You're not going anywhere!" Jose shouted as he dashed towards Nic with speed that almost matched Greninja.

At this pace, Jose would cut him off before he could reach the edge. Greninja managed to pivot and throw a few Water Shurikens at Jose. He aimed at his feet so that his footing would be intercepted. Jose sidestepped as he was cut off from reaching Nic. Greninja followed Nic as they leaped off of the edge and plummeted down below.

Greninja had an impression as to what Nic was planning to do, and he thought he would follow along. Both sailed downwards, side by side, as a Dead Wave was sailing towards them at an alarming rate

With Erza and the others

"Nic!" Erza instinctively reached out towards him in a helpless manner. An overwhelming feeling, of which felt foreign to her, was stirring up inside of her. Gray and Elfman restrained her, yet they were as shocked as she was. Mira and Cana had their hands covering their mouths in deep shock. Lucy and Natsu couldn't believe what was happening. Arbok and Kecleon looked on in disbelief.

Everyone watched as Nic and the Ninja Pokémon were leaping out of the structure. They watched as Greninja was now sailing by Nic's side and then the unthinkable happened.

They all saw Jose standing at the edge of the barely standing Guild Hall. He had a large Magic Seal that was aimed at the two and then unleashed a brutal attack.

"Dead Wave!" The spell was coming in too fast. They all saw as Nic flipped himself to face the attack and put his arms up to block it as the attack enveloped him and his pal.

Erza was standing there, feeling as though all time in the world has ceased to move. That image replayed in her head twenty times over in a span of two seconds. She didn't want to believe it, she couldn't. Maybe this was all just a big illusion to her, or maybe her eyes were playing tricks with her and that she missed something. There was no way. Nic couldn't be…

She felt something wet and salty starting to run down her cheek.

Kecleon stood there in disbelief. She had tilted her head so far that maybe she was seeing a fake image of Nic getting destroyed along with Greninja. She straightened up and slumped forward with her mouth wide open.

"No…no…the wheels have stopped spinning…" She muttered.

Arbok was completely still, not a single muscle moved. He was baffled with the vision of his loyal and friendly family and Nic getting vaporized in front of his eyes. The one human he was open to was destroyed, gone. Greninja was gone as well, another family member he was friendly with.

"Nic-ssssssssama." Arbok lowered his head and a tear was beginning to streak down his scaly face.

With Jose

Jose had on a triumphant grin, showing his teeth as he gazed downwards at the sea. The boy and his ninja frog was gone for good this time. He saw it as the purple explosion indicated such an assumption. He was really strong, as was his accomplice. Their skills in battle were remarkable and proficient. It was such a shame that they had to be destroyed. It was a well fought battle that had sure gave Jose a run for his money.

Jose chuckled and then turned his murderous upon a wide eyed Makarov, who was still in shock of Nic's demise. Now that one obstacle was out of the way, he had to take down Makarov, and then make him suffer as his children fall after, and then the Heartfilia girl will finally be in his grasp.

"Well Makarov, now that one of your precious children has fallen, it's time for you to join him and his frog friend as well! You'll see your children suffer and-!"

Suddenly, the ground beneath Jose was beginning to quake harshly. It started out low and quickly escalated. The next thing he saw was that the ground bared a huge hole that was opened up by a huge single Water Shuriken surrounded by multiple Air Slash attacks, making it look like a slicing galaxy of sorts. The attack's sides were able to strike Jose, tearing up his clothing, mainly ripping his shoulder cape and leaving a large fraction of his left sleeve clothing torn off. Jose flew back and skid as he saw the attack skyrocket and break the entire ceiling, basically slicing up all of the rock that would've fallen and it escalated and went up into the sky and a large scale explosion of blue and sky blue erupted. Not a single piece of debris fell from that attack, mainly because it was all sliced up from the combination of a compressed shuriken and several air saws rotating around it. Anything that were to be touched could have been obliterated on the spot.

He slowly approached the wide hole and peered downwards, only to get a Wing Attack to the face. He leaped back and a Dark Pulse ran towards him. He managed to leap and evade the attack, but just barely. He stopped and saw Nic flapping in the air with Greninja landing safely.

Jose gritted his teeth and touched the part of his face that took the Wing Attack.

"You! How did you survive?!" He scowled.

Nic slowly descended to the floor and shifted back into the Meadow Plate. "Let's just say that we found a back route."

As Nic and Greninja were descending, the Dead Wave attack was catching up to them fast. Nic turned and had his forearms forward. What nobody saw was that a green force field with spikes had protected Nic and Greninja s they were falling almost at the point of impact. The explosion itself was found incapable of passing by the Spiky Shield.

As they continued to fall, with the explosion as cover, Nic shifted into his Sky Plate Form and flew towards the bottom of the giant with Greninja flying on his back. Fortunately, the bottom of the giant wasn't plunged in the sea, so there was a perfect opening.

Everyone was still fixated on what they thought was a casualty, so not a single person saw through the explosion.

"What do you say, we give him a hello from down under?" Nic rhetorically asked his ninja pal.

Greninja smirked. "Let's make it a big welcome."

Greninja began to prepare Water Shuriken, and then combined all of his shurikens into a giant shuriken that was over his head. Greninja jumped and threw the massive single Water Shuriken at the bottom. Nic added a twist by using Air Slash and making the attack circle about the Shuriken, giving it far more destructive power, as well as more cutting power.

They both smirked as the destructive attack easily shredded through the bottom of the giant and passed through multiple floors, all the way through Jose's floor. Nic quickly caught Greninja and had him hold onto his back while Nic soared with great speed through the holes that the shuriken made. As they were about to reach Jose, of whom peeked over at the time, he got ready for a Wing Attack.

"You annoying Fairy Tail scum!" Jose shouted, unleashing another Dead Wave. His attack, however, was weaker than the previous shot, showing that he was running low on Magic.

Nic and Greninja were able to intercept the attack now that it was shown to be weaker. They were able to cancel it out with a Dark Pulse and Leaf Tornado combo, of which Nic produced by rotating his arms in two separate directions and making a variety of green winds and light green leaves appear and make a tornado strike the Dead Wave. The result was a small explosion that didn't push anyone back, but did shake up the place again and produce strong winds that lasted for ten seconds or so.

With Erza and the others

Every person cheered when they saw Nic slug Jose with a Wing Attack, of which was followed up by a Dark Pulse from Greninja. Erza was so relieved. She was almost gasping for air at the sight of him not being dead. She had a smile on her face as she quickly wiped away the few tears that had fallen while she thought he was obliterated into nothingness.

"What's with that guy! He made us worry for nothing!" Cana said in irritation. Erza could see that Cana was worried about Nic herself, but the two were glad that he was found unharmed. "I'm going to kill him for doing a stunt like that!"

"Not before I do." Erza told her.

"I want in too!" Mira added.

Makarov overheard the three girls talking and couldn't help but chuckle. He was just as worried as they were when he thought Nic was blasted, but it didn't prove necessary as the Multitype Mage and his Greninja came rushing through the ground and delivered a hit on Jose. It made him wonder how he pulled off such a trick. This also made him wonder as to what other tricks Nic's was hiding.

This also begged the question as to how much stamina the boy and his Greninja have. It's clear that they have above average stamina if they can match a Wizard Saint.

Arbok and Kecleon both looked up and were speechless. They should have never doubted Nic's skills. They've been with him long enough to know that by now. The two were almost wide eyed and practically smiling. They turned towards each other and smirked, knowing that Nic hasn't let them down yet.

"Nic had us there for a moment." Kecleon said to her slithery pal.

"Nic-sssama issss unpredictable that way." Arbok agreed.

They both then turned and looked back at the action that was transpiring with Nic and Greninja both now on equal grounds with Jose.

With Nic and Greninja

Jose did another Dark Pulse, moving his arm in a swift arc that was followed with explosions. Greninja easily evaded with Bounce with Nic being attached. In a split second, Jose was in the air with them and he tried to do a point blank Dead Wave, of which was intercepted with a point blank Dark Pulse and Energy Ball. The explosion created a violent tempest that had crashed all three into walls, with Jose being on the opposing wall. All three were slowly getting back up, and every single cell in their bodies were aching.

If you were to imagine it, you would see a big hole in the floor from the surprise shuriken, an entire wall shattered and revealing the Fairy Tail Guild looking up, three adjacent walls severely cracked, a shattered floor from multiple craters, giving it a more moon-like look, and no roof.

Greninja couldn't take much more, neither could Jose; however, Nic was holding up due to the energy he had repleted thanks to that Giga Drain and Leech Seed combo. That explosion did hurt him pretty bad, so it's not like that energy boost was long-lasting for him. They had to end this battle, as in now.

Jose had the exact same thought. It was time to finish this. He stood affirm and was gathering a very large sum of Magic energy, now making the place quake yet again. Thank god Natsu wasn't in this fight, otherwise he would be motion sick all over the place from the building shaking a multitude of times. Anyways, Jose's power skyrocketed once again.

"Say your prayers and bow to me before I obliterate you!" Jose demanded. He let out a maniac-like screech as he conjured a large amount of his Darkness Magic, the energy shaping with countless ghosts in purple energy. All of that power being concentrated into the center of him. It was so dense that the floor beneath him was beginning to crack and the air around him was distorting.

As Jose was preparing his final assault to end this for good, Nic quickly talked with Greninja, formulating a plan.

"That attack will destroy the place, and us if it hits." Greninja indicated.

"Yet it's directed at us, so if it misses then it would just obliterate this side of the building…" Nic was then going into more detail as he and Greninja both had roughly ten seconds before the blast was unleashed. After a nod, the two had agreed on a strategy to end this for good.

Greninja used Smokescreen and covered Jose's vision of them as Nic and his pal were in a thick black cloud of smoke. Jose smiled evilly. "You fools! That trick won't work! Speed or stealth, you can't hide from me anymore! NOW DIE!"

He got no response from within the smoke cloud.

Jose roared and unleashed his fury. "This is it! Phantom Eradicator!"

Jose had then unleashed the massive assault of Magic at them. The blast so large and so forceful that it could've leveled half of Magnolia. The wave of immense energy completely destroyed a third of the giant, showing that a small fraction of its left leg and its entire arm was obliterated. He didn't give a damn, so long as the guy and his frog was terminated for good.

However, he heard the ground from behind him break and Nic and Greninja jumped through, and Jose saw Nic looking at him dead in the eye, starting to glow a bright green.

"But how?!" Jose was at a loss for words. How could they have evaded his most devastating assault? He then noticed as he shifted his feet that the flooring wasn't as sturdy.

Within the Smokescreen cloud, Nic and Greninja decided to go under again. The Ninja Pokémon put his hands on the floor and pushed through with Dark Pulse, breaking the ground beneath them. Since the floor was so thin, thanks to the repeated assaults and quakes that made the floor as it was, it could be blasted through with ease. As they fell to the floor beneath them, they saw Jose unleash his attack. They instantly began sprinting forward to avoid the blast's range as it annihilated the flooring behind them.

They were now directly under Jose by one floor. They side stepped so that they were behind when they came up and Nic used Seed Bomb and threw it up, making a big enough hole for them to leap out of with Greninja's jumping skills, enabling Greninja to drag Nic upwards with him as Nic was now slowly glowing a bright green.

Jose instantly turned around, infuriated beyond measurement. His last attack had took almost every bit of Magic from him. He had very little left.

"You Fairy Tail rodents! You'll pay!" Jose scowled.

Nic took in a deep breath and that was Greninja's cue to get out. He leaped out of the structure at the speed of a ninja and looked back at Nic.

"Bring it on home!" Greninja shouted, indicating Nic's big finish. He turned and was using Bounce one last time to get out of the giant monstrosity.

Nic then began to glow brighter as Jose was trying to muster up whatever energy he had left over, which was enough for one Dead Wave. Jose unleashed his attack at Nic, but the Dead Wave didn't even touch him as the light of pure green energy vaporized the blast of darkness.

"This ends now. Legendary Arts: Seed Flare!" Nic then unleashed a huge green explosion of purified nature.

Jose let loose an agonizing scream as the light green explosion engulfed him.

With Erza and the others

Everyone who was watching was astounded with Nic and Greninja were keeping up with Jose once more. They all saw Jose gather up energy and saw Nic and Greninja disguise their strategy with Smokescreen. They all stepped back and covered up as Jose had unleashed his destructive blast that was so large that a third of his building was gone just like that.
