As master and a few others were watching everything happening from the guild, Adrian clone appeared next to a masked man
Adrian: So... you gonna go after Laxus?
Mystogan: .....Yeah that's the plan, what about you, i thought you were trapped in the guild?
Adrian: I am, well my real body is, i'm just a shadow clone. Thought i'd give you a heads up, Laxus is in the church, and if you gonna fight him be quick about it, he seems to be quite well prepared, I'm sure he has contingencies for you
Mystogan: Thanks
Adrian clone then dispelled itself leaving Mystogan stare at where he was just a second ago
Mystogan: Shadow clone huh, interesting...
At the guild
'Well, looks like my meeting with Mystogan went well, hopefully he's more careful in reality than the anime'
While the true Adrian was in the guild, Gajeel appeared and tried to leave but was unsuccessful. Natsu then had the bright idea to burn Erza, much to everyone's dismay, but worked, however Erza was pissed that he burned her and punched him in the face
While this was going on Lucy was attacked by one of Bikslow's dolls and is saved by Loke. They then fight together against Bikslow and won
Erza had left immediately so that she could go and stop Laxus, however she was blocked by Evergreen, and couldn't pass unless she defeated her
After a few minutes of fighting Evergreen reveals that she could kill them at any moment, and Erza threatened her saying that if they do die, she'd give Evergreen a slow and painful death. After defeating Evergreen, everyone was released, angering Laxus
Not wanting the game to end, Laxus activates the Thunder Palace, which turns on the lacrimas he placed around Fiore, threatening the master saying that they will detonate after 1 hour and 10 minutes
The master unable to take all of this falls ill and is tended to by everyone. Bisca then shoots one of the lacrimas, causing it to blow up, however she then collapsed in pain, feeling the blow up herself
Laxus who was raging, ordered Freed to go and take care of Cana and Juvia, which Freed reluctantly does. During the fight, Juvia had refused to fight Cana as she didn't want to hurt her guildmates since she wanted to be accepted, had destroyed one of the lacrimas in the air, causing her to collapse from the pain
Cana: Juvia!
After revealing to Cana that she wanted to be accepted, Cana wholeheartedly said that there is a place for her in Fairy Tail, and then tearfully stood up to face off against Freed
Unfortunately, after a few minutes of fighting, Cana falls, just in time to see Mirajane and Elfman running towards her.
Freed believed that since Elfman had already lost to Evergreen, he had no right to fight anymore, so he began to torture him with his 'Dark Ecriture', while Mira kept on begging him to stop. Seeing her brother in pain and remembering her sisters death, she snapped and uses her 'Satan Soul' to transform and defeated Freed
Instead of taking the final blow against Freed, she turns back to normal and lent him her hand, saying that they are friends and that they shouldn't fight, leading to Freed crying and admitting that he never wanted to do this in the first place
Back at the Guild
Levy manages to break through Freed's barrier, enabling Adrian, Natsu and Gajeel to leave, and search for Laxus, however since Adrian already knew where he was he immediately left towards the church at full speed
In the church
Mystogan had appeared in front of Laxus for their face off
Mystogan: Laxus, if you stop now, we can tell everyone that this was all for entertainment made by Fairy Tail
Laxus: Why would i stop when I've come so far, besides the only people who are on my level would be you and Adrian. We are the top 3 strongest in the Guild
Mystogan: You are forgetting Guildart's and Erza
Laxus: Guildart's is never here so he doesnt count, and Erza.... Hahahahaha.... she's too weak to fight against me
Mystogan: That arrogance won't do you any good you know, sigh... well it seems like we have no choice but to fight
As Laxus and Mystogan began to fight, Adrian was watching from the shadows, to see how everything played out. Mystogan had been better prepared than in the anime, however it still lead to his face being revealed, and Natsu and Erza seeing it
After appoligising to Erza, Mystogan left saying that he will leave Laxus for them to deal with.
Hope your enjoyed the chapter, sorry it’s a bit shorter than the others, but I’ll finish this in the next chapter so that we can go onto the next arc. But I won’t forget to make sure there’s sufficient character interaction
