Axel running through the forest with sonido so fast even wild life in the forest didn't understand where is the sound coming from. While running Axel thought the last year, it was became 1 year since he meet Jenny, now Axel was 16. In those one year Axel made tremendous progress with his swordmanship. Axel understood that swordmanship has grades too. Beginner, journeymen, master, grandmaster, king, emperor. This is grades of swordmanship and right now he is grandmaster. With one swing he can cut ships which he did one of the pirate ship when he was Hargeon Town. His swordmanship compare to Roronoa Zoro after he train 2 years with Mihawk. He also became master of sonido. With his sonido he can leave after image and he became so fast even Warrod start to have a hard time in their spar because of his speed. He also can use sonido with his arm without harming himself. His haki right now grandmaster level, he awaken his haki when battling giant scorpions in the desert. He can use enbu much more efficently, now his enbu open all the time and he didn't even feel the drain. Truth-seeking orbs literally owerpowered with this he can erase anything from existance, he thought when God give him origin energy he can use other type jutsus like fire ball or something but he couldn't use them how much he tried and that night in his dream he met fate of this world which fate told him this abilities aren't from this world so only he can use them because God give permission to him but also he can't use any other magic from this world because of this abilities. So he can only use haki, enbu, truth-seeking orbs, sonido and kaleidoscope this is good but downside is he can't use any other magic from this world but that didn't even bothered him. This abilities are good enough for Axel, he choose quality over quantity because Axel knows even if he learn 1000 different things he at most will use 6 or 7 of them. He remembers from his old life some novel protogonist gains a lot ability from system but always use 6 or 7 of them at most. So he is good with these. While thinking this he came to his target and with his haki felt fight is going on. He start to climb to top and didn't bother with others. Axel came just in time, scene before him red haired woman opened her arms and say ''I will protect you'' the pink haired man behind her which he respond ''No!! Don't!!'' Tattoed man finished his magic ''Heavenly body magic.. Altairis!!'' and send his magic to them but in that moment giant man came in front of the red haired woman. Axel intervene in that moment, he send his 5 truth-seeking orbs and made a wall in front of big guy. When magic came contact with wall magic erased from existance. With this act Axel saved 4 people. He saved Simon from death, Erza from survivor guilt, Jellal from guilt and most important for Axel he saved Kagura from path of revenge.
''Right on time'' when Axel said this all of them turn towards him.
''Who the hell are you bastard?'' said angry Jellal. Axel start to walk towards Erza, didn't answer Jellal and said to Erza; ''My beautiful lady you catch a cold like that, here.'' and give her his own shirt. Erza start to blush and others jaw drop at the scene before them.
''My name is Axel Cole may I learn your name beautiful?''
''M-my name is Erza Scarlet.''
''That's a brilliant name, like a name in a fairytale.'' this compliment made Erza blush more.
''I had enough of you bastards all of you die together!!'' With this Jellal send another magic at them which Axel made another wall and again he destroyed magic.
''Hey pink hair if you had your fill take this guy or I beat him.'' Axel said to Natsu while he was still eating Etherion.
''Natsu don't!! They are fused with all sort of magic not just flame.'' Erza yelled to Natsu.
''Erza what kind of magic Natsu guy use?'' Axel asked as if he didn't know.
''He use fire dragon slayer magic, why you ask?''
''Then don't worry, nothing will happen to him. Most is he will sleep 3 or 4 days and he will have bad stomach after that he will be okay.''
''What do you mean?''
''I mean when he start to eat that things he forced himself state called Dragon Force because it was forced he will sleep and bad stomach.''
''I understand.'' while they are talking Natsu took down Jellal and damage they made start to break the tower. Axel take Erza his arms with princess carry and told Simon to take Natsu for their escape. Axel didn't try to save Jellal because otherwise Wendy couldn't meet others. Jellal fell from the tower and they ran. When they are outside Axel with 9 orb made a giant wall for protect them from explosion, so nothing happened them. Others came yelling ''Erza, Erza'' and they saw Axel holding Erza like princess. They came and Erza asked him to let her down. Which Axel denied with saying; ''Who would let go beautiful woman like you? Definetly not me.'' Erza blushed cutely.
''Who the hell are you?''
''Gray be nice, he saved us. His name is Axel. Axel this is Gray, Lucy, Sho, Juvia, Wally, Milianna and Happy. You already met with Natsu and Simon.''
''Sup punks? And hello ladies.''
''Where did you come from? And what are you doing here?'' Gray asked with suspicion.
''From there.'' said Axel and pointed to his right with his head. ''And I felt fight was going on, so came to take a look but I never thought I meet beauty like Erza here.'' which made Erza blush again and others look at them with surprise. Disciplinary Erza they know blushed cutely and acting like a girl. They talk a little bit and leave for an inn close by, in front of the inn Axel finally let go Erza.
''Now you guys okay I gotta go or I would be late for my spar with Kagura.''
''Wait!! Did you say Kagura? As in Kagura Mikazuchi?'' Simon asked with hope in his heart.
''Yeah why?''
''She is my sister. Where is she?''
''Really? She is part of Mermaid Heel, she was also looking for his brother all this time. Do you wanna come with me?''
Simon think a bit and look his friends but finally shake is head. ''I'm sorry but I can't leave my friends right now if you tell her I'm okay and alive I would be grateful.''
''Don't worry about it I will tell her your story but you should visit her.''
''I will.'' They shake hands and Axel said goodbye to everyone. Axel quickly kiss Erza from her cheek and said ''My shirt can stay with you so you know I will definetly come to take it back, like I said I don't let go beauty like you'' with a smile and run away. 'I will wait for you to come then' thought Erza with a blush and feeling warm.
