Fairy Legion Chapter 43 Erza vs Zane equals trouble in Fairy Tail (Full Post)

A/N: This title may not make any sense but that's normal for me and my stories. I should also mention that I'm sorry. I didn't get out the last episode on Saturday but Thursday. I was going to get out by then like I did with the two previous chapters but I had a blast writing that chapter. I should also mention that Zane may be transforming people into his forms in Zero but not for comedy like I did with Erza and Natsu.

Bimbo and Engineer won't be the only villains from Zero who may show up in Fairy Legion but only if I decide if they could live this far into the future. Remember how I mentioned that Zane made the Life Serum ,which comes from Zane's Abilities, which can extend the human life expectancy rate but I didn't mention how long a normal person would live for. So I decided to do some research on this and the Oldest People Article is where I got this number.

I added up the top ten people's years and days and divided the number by ten. A quick clarification on that number's origin. I made every year three hundred and sixty five days. My total number is 118 years and 59 days. You then times my total number by 5, you get 236 years and 118 days. That's a pretty impressive life and that's including not having a fatal disease or dying for an another person such as a gunshot. 

Here's some facts I found out while doing my research. Among the top ten oldest people, the amount of people who live to one hundred and seventeen years old is very common being that seven of them live to a hundred and seven. Also of the top ten oldest people, three people lived in Japan, two people lived in the United States of America, and one person lived in Canada, Ecuador, France, Italy, and Jamaica. I just for that interesting.

The main thing I'm going to talk about in this Fairy Legion Author Note is Heros and how lazy it is compared to the other spinoffs involving Fairy Tail characters. This is not a review since I'm going to review it as a whole once it's finished since I doubt it's going to be that long or will it? Fifty fifty on that but I'll say this. Iron Man may be the glue that connected the MCU even after Endgame but Plue is the one who connects the Hiroverse.

Still coming up with a name but he's in all of them and unlike a certain blue-haired prick, I like Plue and that's why Zane calls him Master Plue. The more you know. I've talked about the spinoffs before in the past being that my favorite one is Fairy Tail Cops edition since it's just funny but all of them do some different with the Fairy Tail IP. Now imagine this, combine the characters of Edens Zero, Fairy Tail, and Rave Master and put them in one story. So what do you get?

Is it a rich and enriching crossover that makes fans of one series check out another? Or is it a cash grab and shows how lazy an artist can be aka Hiro. It's the latter being that this is the FOURTH time he's used Jellal's character time. I may mentioned to it before when I reviewed Edens Zero where he had Robot Happy and the duo of Space Erza and Jellal. This may be nothing new to him since he's been doing this since Fairy Tail way back in the day.

Rave Master and Fairy Tail were identical in terms of art style but Fairy Tail evolved into its own creation over time. Siegrain and Jellal may have been in the same series but they were in the same person so it wasn't so bad in my books. However this doesn't apply to he trio of Anna, Layla, and Lucy who have the exact same appearance and voice actress in the English Dub but they are treated as different fucking characters.

I mentioned that this is lazy since you could have just replaced Anna with Layla easily since they would have fulfilled the same role in the series. I may do that since Anna ,in my opinion, doesn't add too much to the series beside having another busty female in a series filled to the brim. My big takeaway from this is Heros is lazy art and kinda an okay story as of Chapter 5. For my money, read Fairy Tail 100 year quest since it's really good and adds to the world in a good way.

Heck, it does something better than the main series such as showing off side characters and bringing some amazing moments for Laxus who is my favorite character within the series. He'll be showing up in this chapter spoiler alert. Yeah. This is a short author note compared to what's coming up in the future. This one will be a long episode and I should mention that this episode will have a lot of fighting in it. The title says it all so lets begin.

Narrator P.O.V. 
Today was going to be a slow work day being that there was a massive heat wave pouring into Magnolia. According to the meteorologists, it was going to be a solid 98 degrees out but it was increasing to 103 degrees and rising. For normal people, it would be deadly but for one being of the Omniverse. It was pretty normal since he spend an unhealthy amount of time in a volcano during his training.

At the rebuilt bar of the Fairy Tail Guild Hall, Zane was in Archfiend Form. Zane was a 4 foot tall scarlet red demon. He looks to be a demon with elements of a gremlin and imp hybrid plus some other things. His two green eyes with black pupils and has spiked ears. His body is slightly muscular but overall, he’s rather skinny. He wears a black and white helmet over his head with red googles but only wears them when things are serious or when he’s working on an invention.

He wears a black and white short sleeve t-shirt and black pants that have two white lines around the end of his pants. He wears black fingerless gloves with white cuffs. He has a long tail being that the end of it is an a arrow-headed spade. He wears durable yet flexible metal plates over his shoulder and knuckles. He doesn’t wear shoes, revealing his five toes with claws. His five fingers also have claws on them.

He also wears a backpack on his back. His bag is a black color with red straps and small pockets on either side of it. He had several items that was nearby him and they were in neatly grouped in piles across the countertop. There were metal mechanical parts, bolts and screws, a glass cylinder-shaped tank, various hoses, cooper wire, and a lacrima crystal that he got from Crystal Peak. In his arm's range, there were tools as well such as a screwdriver, pliers, and a hammer.

Zane held his chin with him looking at the piled items and began humming a tune while doing so. He examined each part he had collected and memorized them. Once he finished his analysis, he closed his eyes as a blueprint began to form in his mind. After a second, Zane opened his eyes and his smile grew bigger. "Brain Blast! I got it!" said Zane. He had everything that he needed to begin his pet project to get Sly to shut up.

It had been a few ,about three, days after the Transformation Fiasco which was coined by Levy and Zane in a cute couple moment between the two much to Bisca, Juvia, Mira, and Stella's ire. As Zane had expected, the reward for taking it Bimbo and her minions was used for repairs. Lucy was the most bummed about this but could understand since the destruction inflicted on the still incomplete Guild Hall by them during training was a great deal.

It was mainly because Zane was using Droy ,in Orb Form, as a ball to spike into the ground while trying to hit the other transformed wizards to increased their dodging abilities. Makarov's soul came out at least thirty times during this training session and well, it was within the first two hours of the almost eight hours training session. Zane was unaffected by this since Zane had some spare parts that he "borrowed" from Phantom Lord's giant in order to require what he need.

The Magic Council had dismantled it and it was done by Ira who used Fire Magic to do that. "This is going to be excellent. I got everything I need to shut her up for now." said Zane. "Zane. I know that you're trying to stop Sly for complaining about it but do you have to sound like an evil genius while doing it? And aren't you forgetting something?" said Twilight. "I'm stealing your line here Kane. It's Zane. What do you think?" said Azalea.

Kane shrugged as he said,"I don't care plus you did the line well Azalea. Oh and she's right by the way Zane.". "Wait. Do you mean Azalea or Twilight?" said Cole. "Both and don't you think I forgot about the music. Remember what my mom taught me. Music makes everything better especially inventing! Lets go! Go! Go!" said Zane, putting his goggles down and turned on a song from his phone. It was Back in Black from from AC/DC or should I say Led Zepplin.

I'm not serious about that. He began going to work on constructing a metal sphere. It was the main body of the device he was working on being that it was made from several metal panels that he gathered earlier in the days leading up to this. Once finished with that, he threw in a very good assortment of mechanical parts, tubes, hoses, wires, and lastly the lacrima. Zane jumped in next with him arranging and interlacing parts together.

An hour had passed with the rest of Fairy Tail gathering at the still incomplete Guild Hall. Some were helping in constructions while others were taking breaks by relaxing at the bar. It was mainly the latter given the heat wave. Vance was on the ground, sweating up a storm. This mainly consisted of the duo of Cana and Kaida with the former drinking from a barrel of beer and the latter drawing a picture of Torrent Form shocking Erza in Gluttony Form.

Cana wasn't effected by the heat too much she wears very little clothing to begin with and she's drinking a lot of booze to keep herself hydrated. Kaida was the same except she was too focused on her drawing to noticed the heat. "Should you really be drawing that? Erza may not like it too much due to that being an embarrassing but hilarious moment for her." said Cana.  Kaida shrugged as she said,"So? I mean papa asked me to do this and I can't let him down again!".

Cana sighed as she said,"I honestly don't think Zane was mad at you for what happened Kaida. He's told you that right?". Kaida nodded her head. Sly ,in her dragon form, flew over with her saying,"He did but Kaida is an Alvarez meaning that we're stubborn beyond belief.". "Ain't that the truth? Even after he was the one who made the guild look like a dump, he refused to help whatsoever. He's kinda a jerk sometimes." said Cana.

Sly shrugged as she said,"Yeah but I'm used to that by now. It's kinda just a thing me and him do since he's building that for me finally!". She squealed at the end of it with Cana and Kaida looking at each other before shrugging. Later, Team Natsu arrived on the site and approached the bar area. The blue feline was like Vance in the fact that his fur was boiling him a lot. Erza was using sheer will to ignore the heat but it was difficult.

The sun's blazing light on her made her into a walking stove. Gray and Lucy ,mainly the former, were trying the best to keep as much clothing on as possible. Natsu was doing the best out of his team since he could handle the heat but was sweating a good bit and quite parched. Natsu burped out a torrent of fire with him saying,"And that was an amazing breakfast!". He had a satisfied smile on his face with Happy not responding with his signature Aye Sir.

This is due to him being covered in fur and his face grimaced with unbridled heat. "This is too hot. I want to go back home Natsu!" whined Happy. Natsu was quiet being that steam was coming out of his mouth. The duo of Happy and Natsu began waving their arms and legs like babies with the duo crying out,"We should be home right now! This isn't fair.". "Suck it you two! You're not the only ones dying from the heat!" said Erza, causing the boys to stop complaining.

Lucy pondered as she said,"I wonder why Zane couldn't join us this morning since Erza was buying as an apology for yesterday.". "Yeah. He told me and Natsu that we were spared training so we could focus on rebuilding or something." said Gray. "I guess you're thankful about that huh Gray?" said Lucy, elbowing him. "Yeah. You only had to do eight hours." said Gray. Erza ,who had been turned back to normal, looked around as she said,"Then where is he? Gray. Your clothes.".

The ice wizard blinked at this before looking at himself. He was wearing only his boxers with him saying,"I honestly don't care.". "What a loser!" said Natsu. Lucy snapped her fingers in annoyance as Happy noticed this and he said,"And why did you do that Lucy?". "Because I bet Stella ten jewels that he could last until lunch time without taking off his clothes." said Lucy. "That was a stupid idea Lucy." said Happy in a deadpanned tone. "Well at least, it wasn't with Zane." said Lucy.

Happy nodded as he said,"Yeah. Who in their right mind would make a bet with him?! I mean he has a way for always winning according to Sly.". Natsu stopped laughing with Gray laughing at him. "I think he's talking about you pyro!" said Gray. Natsu got up in Gray's face with him saying,"Oh screw you idiot!". "You would say that moron! Think before you speak!" yelled Gray. The two began fighting with fire and ice breaking out.

Instead of Erza stopping this fight, it was Lucy. She did this by slamming their heads together hard and caused them to collapsed to the ground next to each other. The red bumps on their foreheads throbbed in pain. This was a shock to Happy. "Whoa! I didn't see that coming!" said Happy. "No fighting you two! I'm pretty sure that you two have caused more damage to the guild hall so no more fighting understand?!" said Lucy.

She cracked her knuckles with the two nodding. "Yes ma'am." said Gray and Natsu. "Wow. You're serious today Lucy. What's the occasion?" said Erza. "Erza! Isn't it obvious? Lucy has been replaced by an alien! I mean think about it! She's stopping Gray and Natsu from fighting like you do! It's like that movie Zane told me and Vance about!" said Happy. "That isn't it Happy. I just want to get back to work." said Lucy. "Like I said Erza, aliens." said Happy.

Lucy sighed at this response with her noticing Levy and Mira walking by them. She was carrying two items being that the first item was a wooden box filled with apples, bananas, grapes, pineapple, and a good amount of fruits. The other item was a large tub of ice and sugar. Much to her shock, Mira was doing alright but she was slightly sweating."Good morning you guys. You guys ready for something awesome?" said Mira in her cheerful tone.

Levy looked at her as she said,"That's something Sly said being that she's really excited about it today according to Zane.". "Morning you two." said Lucy. Erza looked at the items they were holding and she said,"So what's with the box of fruits, the ice, and sugar?". "Is this for a prank?" said Happy. "For once no." said Mira. "It's for something that Sly has been begging Zane to do since they came to this dimension. According to Zane, it would help with the heatwave." said Levy.

Levy smiled as she said,"And Zane told me that you're weak for letting the heat defeat you and will be taking money for creating a new beverage for the guild.". Gray and Natsu grunted as they returned to their feet, rubbing their sore heads while doing so. "Zane is here? Should have expected that to be honest." said Gray. "And what you mean by that Levy?" said Natsu with him sweating rivers. This isn't that strange since we've seen people cry waterfalls in this dimension.

Lucy looked at them with her saying,"So do you know what he's doing?". "I can't tell you since Zane told me not to." said Levy. "Really? You're not telling us because Zane told you to. I know that you two are dating but he doesn't control you." said Erza. "Oh I know but trust me. I would tell you but then, I wouldn't get one of his famous massages and it's amazing." said Levy. "He does massages? Is there anything he doesn't do?" said Gray, Happy, Lucy, and Natsu.

The four thought about it as Erza agreed being that Zane always knew how to do something. "I got it you guys! Zane can't be nice to Erza!" said Natsu. "Nah. That can't be it Natsu. It's obviously trying to increase the fish population." said Happy, drooling a bit. "Maybe if you don't want lose fish, you should stop eating so many." said Lucy. "So where is he?" said Gray. "Behind the bar. You can't miss him so lets go." said Mira.

The white haired maiden and bookworm led the team over to the bar area. Over the bar, there was a black tarp ,with the logo ZI on it and a molten gold, over it. From inside of the trap, there was a hammer bangs, parts being screwed together, technical gibberish that no could understand, and a guitar with the latter being the loudest. Levy and Mira set the box of fruit, ice, and sugar down close to the tarp. "I got this. We're back!" said Levy.

Something pulled up the cover and walked out. It was Zane but in Inventor Form. He's 8 feet tall. His body is coal black with him having a cyber and science fictions theme very much like some of his robotic forms. His body is skinny but has he does have muscles. His face is divided perfectly by a giant white stripe starting from the middle of his forehead and down to his chin. He has two slanted oval shaped light green eyes.

He has a port ,which looks like a USB port, where his nose would normally be. His mouth is a straight line. His arms, chest, and legs are covered with black and glowing yellow circuits. His four fingers, three toes, and two palms are electrical wires. They're strung together to look like a normal fingers, toes, and palms. His palms are circular ports being that he’s wears a long dark blue sleeveless trench coat with it having a rather high collar that covers his chin.

He can make it cover his mouth and nose if he pleases at the time but it wasn't right now. He wears gray pants with cybernetic boots. "Thank you Levy and Mira. You two are good girls." said Zane with his voice having a techno filter to it. "No problem Zane. I have to say that your house has so many rooms. May I ask why?" said Mira. "Trade secret Mira. Prime's policy. Don't call me Zane for pizza's sake. I'm just Zone and hey Team Natsu. How's life treating you?" said Zone.

Lucy looked at him with her saying,"I'm oddly getting used to you being in one of your forms and kinda happy I didn't turn into that. So what are you doing? You missed breakfast with us and after Natsu invited you yesterday.". "Yeah! And you made me and Gray not have a day of training!" said Natsu. "Yeah. That's a real shame," said Gray. "I can hear you Gray and well, I wasn't going to get since I told Natsu no at least five times yesterday." said Zane.

Lucy turned to Natsu who whistled. "You told me he said yes!" said Lucy. "I may have fudge the truth a bit there Luce but don't worry. He'll come next time for sure." said Natsu. "Don't count on it Hatchling and like I told Mira, it's a trade secret. Kinda had to get started on this so I didn't have to deal with a certain Akostar's bitching!" said Zone. "Screw you Zane!" shouted Sly as she flipped him off. "You would!" said Zane's voice inside of the tent.

Erza sighed as she said,"So what are you doing?". She was going to remove the tarp and find out what he was doing. However, she stopped herself. "Smart move Prude Knight. The Prime hates having the trick revealed and right now, he just made a level 10 plasma cannon out of a single screw. He didn't even use any nanomachines. I think he has to finish up the refrigeration system so it remains cold, induct the power source, and add the weapons system." said Zone.

Happy blinked as he said,"Wait. Did you just say weapons system?". Zone nodded as he said,"That I did Happy and that's because......". He looked over to his left to see Natsu helping himself to the fruit Mira had gotten Zane. "Yep. I have no idea what you just said but this is really good fruit." said Natsu. "And why the hell are you eating something that isn't yours? That's stealing palin and simple Hatchling." said Zone.

Natsu shrugged as he said,"I can't help it. The fruit smells so good and I'm still kinda hungry from breakfast.". He then took a big bite out of a watermelon. Lucy looked at him with her saying,"You're still hungry?! You ate ten plates of food this morning at Heaven's Paradise. Thanks for showing us that place Levy.". "You're welcome." said Levy. "Natsu I think I shouldn't have to say this but stop eating the fruit." said Zone in a tone that was clearly saying that he was joking around.

Natsu laughed as he said,"Yeah right. I'm supposed to be scared of you like this. I mean you're like that form with the needles. Not a threat like the other ones.". He kept chowing down on the fruit with Zone shrugging. "Well. I warned him. Time to use that to finish the job. Learn your place." said Zone. He turned into Nano Form, shrinking out of their sight within microseconds. He flew onto the dragon slayer at at the base of his neck or his shoulder.

Zone smiled as he pinched a very specific nerve on him. Suddenly, Natsu's eyes popped open with him backwards in a limp. Everyone look on in shock and surprise. "What just happened to Natsu you guys?! Was the fruit poisoned by Zane in revenge?!" said Happy. He saw a fish within the box. As he was about was like his partner on the floor. "And now Happy has fallen to the box. What will happen next is the question? Ten Jewels says it's Elfman." said Laki. "Isn't it obvious? It's Papa!" said Kaida.

Zone appeared on the countertop with him shocking the guild. "And the prime's cute yet genius daughter gets it right again. She totally gets it from you Levy even though she didn't come from you or the prime in any way. The Prime just hope she doesn't gets his amazing personality." said Zone. Gray looked at the still passed out Happy and Natsu with him saying,"So what did you do to them man? This form of yours come with a drug that can knock out idiots like these two.".

Zone shook his head as he said,"Nope. It's a simple trick the Prime learned when he was four. His paternal grandma taught it to him unintentionally when she knocked out his dad for making him cry and it's the Astral Clamp. According to her, it can subdue all enemies. I apply pressure near the base of the victim's neck and at the shoulder. This renders the target unconscious within seconds and the victim is too slow to complain about it.".

Some of the other Fairy Tail wizards had witnessed the scene in shock. Macao and Wakaba ,who were sitting nearby at a table enjoying their day drinking, stared at this in awe and disbelief being mainly the latter rather than the former. "Wow. Did you see that?" said Wakaba. "I think the guy's main superpower is shocking us." said Macao. Erza looked on with wide eyes. She too along with the other wizards who witness the scene with a bamboozled look.

She was slightly impressed that Zane could defeat someone on Natsu's level with the ability to shrink but it's always the small ones who can pull off the most impressive feats. It's that or it was the quiet ones. On the floor, Natsu gritted his teeth as he tried to move but couldn't. "What did you do to me? I can't move!" yelled Natsu. "Oh right. I grabbed the nerve that caused instant body paralysis. I did grabbed you to shut you up but oh well. You'll be back to normal in ten minutes." said Zone.

Zone deactivated the form before going back into Inventor Form. "And now, you'll learn not to take what doesn't belong to you. You won't but I'm a hopeful yet petty guy." said Zone, smirking. The fire dragon slayer turned his head to the side with him muttering something incoherently. He had an angry expression on his face. "Come on Natsu. You shouldn't say that. I mean you know how good his ears are." said Stella from her barstool.

Gray nodded as he said,"Yeah. I mean he'll only make the training worse for you. I think he wanted to try something called the Human Centrifuge. I wonder.". He reached for Stella's shoulder but instead of pulling off the move, he was giving a very swift boulder to the nuts and this caused him to double over in pain. "Learn your place Gray." said Stella, sipping her drink and mimic Zane. "I can't believe that something so tiny defeat Natsu." said Elfman.

Zone looked at Elfman with him saying,"I should tell you this Elfman. One's size has never been a factor in their strength. Remember Krest? I call him Lennie and his brother George. Krest may have the same magic as the coward and Titan Form at his disposal but I could have defeated him using Gluttony Form which Prude Knight was the other day. In a fight, the best weapon a fighter could have is their mind and how they use their knowledge.".

Erza smiled in agreement and admiration. "Why can't he be like this all of the day rather than some of the time?" thought Erza. "That's so manly!" yelled Elfman. He was going to hit Zone in the back but his hand went right through Zone being that he turned into nanomachines. Elfman joined the duo of Happy and Natsu on the ground with him saying,"Don't touch me or my stuff got it?". "Yes. We won't do it again." said Elfman, Happy, and Natsu.

A minute later, Zone went back to work on his project with Zane behind the trap. Team Natsu ,except for the titular Natsu who still on the floor with Elfman and Happy, sat around and waited for their friend to finish. They were curious as to what Zane was doing being that Zone mentioned that it was going to shut her up about the biggest problem they're up against. The only thing that they could hear behind the tarp was very insane laughter and music.

This caused Lucy to jump back in fear with a few wizards laughing at this. Vance ,who embraced the saying curiosity killed the cat, decided to sneak a peek under the trap and earned himself a boxing glove to the face. Ten minutes passed and during that time, Zone came out and grabbed the two boxes before heading back to under the tarp. The others looked on in confusion to what Zane was doing being that the sound of a motorcycle engine caught them off guard.              

The engine stopped with Zane ,in Archfiend Form, stepped out from behind the tarp. "Zone is gone now but now, my partner will finally shut the fuck about this! Like for the gods sake! It isn't that big of a deal!" said Zane. "It is too Zane!" said Sly. The two glared at each other with Team Natsu, the floor trio (Elfman, Happy, and Natsu), Kaida, Levy, and Mira approached the bar. Cana and Stella turned their attention toward the group as Zane deactivated Archfiend Form.

He shook as he said,"Oh wow. I forgot how much Archfiend Form makes you really violent. Kinda thankful I got stuck with building rather than fighting.". "So what did you build exactly?" said Gray as he crossed his arms. "Well, I think it's time to show you. Ladies and gentleman. Let me present to you...." said Zane, holding onto the tarp. "Come on Zane! Show them already! I need it right now and I'll kill you if you don't give it to me!" said Sly, clutching Zane's shirt.

Lucy blinked as she said,"I kinda like when she's the chill one between the two of them. Anyone else agree with me?". Zane lightly removed Sly from him and placed her on the ground. "Take a deep breath Sly. I know that you're obsessed with them but patience is a virtue." said Zane. "Find but you better have gotten the good stuff!" said Sly. "Of course I did. Zenith Industries always goes for the best my dear pal. Let me introduce the Legion Void Knight Slushie Maker!" said Zane.

The tarp was removed being that on the countertop, there was a black cube-shaped contraption with steel gray highlights. Decorated on the sides was the word "Fantasia" painted in bubbly, dark indigo letters and emblazoned alongside it was the Zenith Industries logo of "ZI" painted crimson red. On top was a clear see-through tank filed with a molten-gold substance that looked to be slushy. Poking out from the front of a tank was a nozzle that look to belong to a drink dispenser. 

The group eyed the peculiar device with confusion, intrigue, and fascination. They had never seen anything like it before but that was normal for Zane. "Legion Void Knight Slushie Market?" said Lucy. "It's a mouthful I know but honestly, my naming abilities like my song writing haven't gotten better over time." said Zane, shrugging. "Hold on. Sly mentioned something about Slushies before and how we don't how them in this dimension." said Gray.

Sly nodded as she said,"I did and I'm finally thankful that my idiot partner did something about this injustice eve since we've been her in this dimension. I was going to revolt if I didn't have a Gluttony Form surprise. I've been craving it . HINT HINT.". "So was she really going to revolt if she doesn't receive this slushie." said Erza, crossing her arms. "Yes and no. She was going to revolt but I don't blame her. It's a delicacy after all but I have more than one favorite type of drink." said Zane.

Vance looked at Sly and then Zane. "So let me get this straight. It was Sly who was going to destroy everything just because of a frozen drink and not Zane." said Vance. "Yeah. I'm shocked to but I got standards." said Zane, shrugging. "That is kinda no super pathetic." said Vance. Sly looked at Vance with her saying,"Oh Vance. You don't understand. Slushies are a way of life and the ones from our favorite restaurant Fantasia are the best drink in the Omniverse.".

The Akostar's response caused the wizards around her groan in annoyance being that it didn't take a detective or even a psychic detective ,being that this song is one of Zane's many ringtones in Fairy Legion, to tell her that they were expecting something greater. "This is what you were working on man? Kinda lame." said Gray with a bag of cement in front of his junk. "Put some clothes on right now Gray!" said Erza who was cooking in her armor.

Here's some advice. Take off the armor. "A frozen drink?! That isn't manly! Not at all!" said Elfman as Sly kicked Elfman in the face, causing him to pass out plus the heat wasn't helping. "Elfman! Why did you do that to him Sly?" said Mira, turning to Sly. "Because Mira. This isn't some drink. It's a way of life! An absolute necessity to bring peace into the Omniverse! I may not have like them at first but I love them now!" said Sly.

There were more groans after what Sly said being that they were really hoping that Zane would do something about the heat. Sly turned to her partner with her having an idea to convince the rowdy wizards. "Okay then. I think I understand. Zane. You should show them the majesty of the Fantasia Slushies asap! I promise that it will beat the heat." said Sly. Zane crossed his arms as he said,"Um sure. I'll need about twenty Jewels and stopping sounding like a car salesman.".

Sly looked at him as she said,"Why? I thought you made this for me.". "Um no. As the owner of the Fantasia brand since I was eighteen years old and a business owner since I owned my first lemonade stand when I was nine years old, I kinda need to make a profit with my terribly name machine." said Zane. "Okay. Someone give him twenty Jewels." said Sly. The wizards looked at the duo with Mira saying,"Here you go Zane.".

She handled him the money and she smiled. "I think I owe you this much and more for everything you've done for me." said Mira as she looked into Zane's eyes. Zane smirked with him saying,"You don't owe me anything for saving you from the giant and Ruined Emerald Mira. We're friends now but maybe someday, we can be more than that if Levy allows it.". Mira smiled as Zane placed the money in his pocket. "Okay. Lets begin." said Zane. "Finally!" said Sly.

He picked a glass on the counter with him saying,"And I'll pick one of Fantasia's most popular drink to start things off. Let me see. Which one should I go with?". "Oh for crying out loud! I'll try it out since it's probably good and you pansies can't handle the good stuff!" said Cana. After she was called a pansy, Erza slammed her hand on the counter and breaking it. She was sweating a storm as she said in an angry tone,"I'll try this slushie as well since it's a challenge!".

Zane blinked with him saying,"Please calm down you two. You're turning into Sly with this and it's kinda concerning. Lets see. I think I'll go with two strawberries and a grape to start things off. They're simple yes but the two flavors are quite popular because of me being Legion Zero aka Earth's Protector and Riptide. I did drink a lot of this stuff back in the day but then I discovered booze or coffee and I haven't been the same since.".

He held it right under the nozzle and pulled down on the lever. A stream of semi-frozen purple substance poured from the dispenser and into the glass. Once it was full, he added the final touch and put in a straw. It was a steel gray color. He placed it to the side with him looking at Sly. "I may love the nectar of the gods but I won't take it from someone." said Sly. "Good. Lets go with the other two okay? I'll use the good old fashion method." said Zane.

He removed the top with him holding a bowl of bananas and strawberries. He made a block of his ice appear and popped the top on. "Zane! What are you doing to those strawberries?!" said Erza being that her favorite fruit in Earthland was in danger. "Calm your armored self down. I'm just giving them a more satisfying flavor." said Zane. He pushed a button on the side being that the machine activated once again.

The blades were tearing apart the bananas, ice, and strawberries like a bloody massacre just like the Church Scene in Kingsman. "What are you doing?!" shouted Erza who was in an absolute panic and horror as she watched the precious strawberries being ripped, torn and shredded into liquid. She didn't care about the bananas though so she would be a fruit racist right? To her, it looked like they were bleeding out and the container was filled with their blood.

She ran forward to try and save the precious fruits but Zane easily predict this. He held her in the air with his telekinesis being that Zane said,"Calm down Prude Knight! This is how you make slushies the original way! Plus I really don't want to rebuild this thing!". "You're murdering those beautiful and defenseless fruits like you did to those Phantom Lord Wizards!" said Erza. She was putting more of her strength into breaking out of Zane's psychic hold.   

Zane turned to the crowd with him saying,"So anyone mind if I knock her out or possible contain her for a bit longer? Natsu?". Natsu nodded being that despite him liking her, he knew when to stay out of her way when she was like this. The machine eventually came to an stop as the mixture finished getting blended. After this ended, Erza calmed down as Zane placed her down. He went over to the machine and pressed a button like he did before.

He put two new cups in front as two streams of semi-frozen reddish yellow substance poured from the machine. It went into the cups and like before, Zane placed a steel gray straw. Zane turned to the group and searched for someone else to try Fiore's first ever Fantasia slushies. He smiled as he said,"Here you go my beloved bookworm.". He offered the purple glass to Levy with Sly's eyes widening. "Her?! Not your favorite partner!" said Sly. "She's right Zane. I don't know." said Levy.

Zane sighed as he said,"Okay. Sly. If I give you one, you'll drink all of it and we're trying to increase our clientele. I also like Danny more than you. He's one of the few guys who I could see myself in a relationship with. Ignacio is another one. My point is also this. I want Levy to drink it since me and you share many interests. Our love of books, a love of romance, and grape themed items. Come on Levy. I know you can't refuse me especially when I bring this out.".

Levy looked at Zane with her saying,"Zane. Please....". He brought out his puppy dog eyes and to make sure he got what he wanted, he added the voice and the lip quiver. "Please. I want you to try my drink first since you're my girlfriend and you love me with all of your heart right? I mean you don't love me, you hate me right? I mean you like someone or you hate someone right?" said Zane. Like both Mira and Stella before her, she couldn't resist these eyes and the voice.

She took the glass from Zane as he smiled. "Thanks Levy. So how about the other two girls get their drink before starting?" said Zane. Cana and Erza looked at the mixtures on the counter being that the two of them were sure that Zane wasn't poisoning them. "So how about you try it Prude Knight? I mean you don't want to lose right?" said Zane as he made a chicken sound. He gave her the drink being that she looked uncomfortable. 

Instead of drinking it, she did something that no member of Fairy Tail every expected to see again in their lives. She became pale as her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she fainted and fell to the ground on her back. "Erza?!" said Lucy after seeing her faint. She knelt down and shook her body trying to wake her up to no avail. "You made Erza faint again!" said the guild being that the mighty Titania fainted because of a drink. That's sad.

Lucy yelled,"Do something to wake her up!". She was worried about her friend/teammate being that no one was going to approach her. "I'll handle this since it was kinda my fault that she fainted in the first place." said Zane. "And what do you need us to do?" said Gray. "Mira. I need a wet towel for the heatstroke right now. Prude Knight is an idiot for wearing this heavy duty armor in this heat." said Zane. Mira nodded as she went to get the item that Zane mentioned. 

Zane turned to Gray and Vance as he said,"From the two of you. I need a glass of water and booze right now Vance! Gray. Keep Sly from taking the slushies!". The two gave him a soldier like saluté as Gray looked at Sly with her shrugging and Vance ran off to get the H20. After a minute, Mira and Vance returned with their items as Zane grabbed them. "So how are you going to wake her up Doctor Professor?" said Cana.

She was wondered how you could wake up someone with a glass of booze, a glass of water, and a wet towel. The lush woman hoped he was going to splash the water on Erza's face. That would be amusing to see. "I'll place the wet towel on her forehead to keep her cool. Lucy, do you mind letting her rest on your lap?" said Zane. Lucy rapidly nodded as she placed Erza's head on her lap and Zane placed the towel on her head.

Zane held the glass of booze and water with Levy saying,"So what's that for?". " I drink this booze since I'm thirsty and I'll throw this water on myself to do embrace my inner Flashdance." said Zane as he did both things. Everyone face faulted and fell to the ground in a comical manner being that they pulled themselves up. "That isn't helping anyone!" said Gray. "I disagree. I was thirsty and felt like doing that stripper. Just give me the slushie that she was too scared to drink." said Zane.

Stella looked at him as she said,"Zane. I don't think you need another flashdance. You really shouldn't just relax while your comrade is out cold!". "I wasn't. Just trust me." said Zane. Stella looked at him as she could tell that he wasn't lying for once. She handed him the drink as Zane used his hand to open Erza's mouth. He slightly tipped the cup so that most of its contents would poured into her mouth, filling a good amount of it.

Zane gently closed her mouth and asked Lucy to tilt her back so she could unintentionally swallowed it all in a single gulp. For a second, nothing really happened being that Erza suddenly shot open being that she lifted herself back up. She held her head like she was in pain. "Oh god!" said Erza being that she was overcome by a chilling feeling that woke her up. After that, the feeling was going and turned to Zane who she blamed for this.

She grabbed him by the collar and began interrogating me. "What the hell did you do to me?!" said Erza as she made a sword appear by his neck. Before she could get too far, her intense migraine came back. This caused her to drop Zane and her sword. "Calm down Prude Knight. I woke you after you passed out. It wasn't from the slushie but the fact that you're wearing a suit of armor in this heat. Are you insane?!" said Zane.

Erza blinked at him for a moment before rubbing her head. She cleared her mind and recalled what happened to her. "I remember collapsing from seeing those beautiful and innocent strawberries being murdered by your machine and when you offered me their blood, I lost it. My mind saw your drink as the dead strawberries. I think there was a wonderful taste entering my mouth before feeling a cold breath of snow inside of my head." said Erza. 

Sly looked at her as she said,"That thing you taste was the amazing and totally sexy slushies that Zane made you graciously drink to wake you up. It's refreshing but cold being that Zane knew that it would wake up after you swallow such a large bunch.". Erza looked at Zane with her saying,"So could I have the slushie now?". She was a bit nervously after her embarrassing reaction when he offered it.

Zane smiled as he gave her the cup that still had the leftover amount he didn't force her to swallow earlier. "I'll liked mine as well if you don't mind." said Cana as Zane handled her the untouched slushies that was meant for her. The three woman took the glasses with the crowd watching the trio partake in the strange concoctions Zane just made for them. "Shouldn't you tell them not to drink it too fast or they'll get a brain freeze?" said Twilight.

Zane whistled with Twilight saying,"And this is why we call you a sadist Zane. You understand that right?". Cana took a good sip of her, Erza savored hers since it had strawberries, and Levy did the same as Cana. It was obvious to everyone in Fairy Tail that Erza reallly liked strawberries being that you could possibly defeat her using strawberries. This hasn't been confirmed since no one has dared tried that before.

When the icy, drink touched their taste buds, the trio stopped drinking. Everyone leaned in, curious to what he reaction would be. Cana looked more relax with her sucking on the straw and let out what sounded like a restrained hum of delight from her closed mouth. She pulled her lips away from the straw and smirked at Zane. "Not bad Zaney. These things pack a tasty punch." said Cana. "That's due to the booze I put in yours." said Zane. "Ah. I did taste some booze in them." said Cana.

Erza on the other hand had a different reaction. She continued to slurp the slushies till she sucked up every drop and separated her mouth from the straw. She took a deep breath with her eyes lighting up like stars and a healthy blush was on her face. Zane covered his ears as Erza released a really girly squeal that no one thought was possible from her. "This is so amazing!" said Erza. "Great. We have another addict." said Zane.

Sly shrugged as she said,"And that's bad because?". "Nothing really. I just wanted to make it known since addicts makes us some serious bank." said Zane. Levy's eyes turned to hearts and she turned to Zane. "It's so good!" said a gleeful Levy with squealing in joy. She hugged Zane with her giving him a kiss. The two were kissing for a few minutes as Cana said,"Oh wow. She's really in love with it or you.". "I think the drink." said Erza. "Maybe but Levy is a strange girl." said Cana.

After releasing Zane from her lips, everyone looked at Sly and Zane who fistbumped while Levy went back to her drink. "Another group of satisfied customers." said Zane. "That's very good but can I have one now?" said Sly. "No. Be patient. We need to make money." said Zane. Gray looked right at Levy with him saying,"Wow. I've known Levy for a very long time but I've never seen her like this before.". "And that would be?" said Lucy.

Gray turned to face Lucy with him saying,"So excited about something that isn't related to history or a book.". Levy was sucked down on the slushie very fast, getting lost in the wonderful taste of the beverage. "Um Levy. While I'm happy about you enjoying my product, you may want to take a breather. If you don't....." said Zane. Levy stopped sucking on the straw with her eyes widening. She fell to her knees, clutching her head in agony.

Cana looked at Erza as she said,"And that's what you did except you didn't faint beforehand.". "What the?! Why does my head feel like it's going to explode!" said Levy. "Sorry but you're suffering from what we in the world of doctor's called a brain freeze." said Zane. "A what freeze?!" shouted the others. "Did that drink freeze her brain Papa?!" said Kaida, slowly backing away from Zane and her face screamed scared.

Zane smiled as he said,"Don't worry Peanut. It's just a little headache caused by drinking a cold drink too fast. It'll go away in a minute or so. Just drink it slowly and you won't get one. Is it weird that this happened to most people I introduce slushies too? I mean Atem was the same way before he learned a very important lesson. It's better to be the tortoise rather than the hare.". "Okay. That's good." said the wizards.

Later, everyone ,with this including Cana, decided to try Zane's creation with the really awful name. All of the wizards who tried it seemed to enjoy it. Though they didn't love it like Sly does, they couldn't deny how good it was. Mira did ask Zane to teach her how to use the machine because they could use to make some extra business. Zane agreed if he gets seventy five percent of the profit gained by this device which she agreed to.

It took a minute for Mira to understand how it worked and to create a surplus of flavors. Everyone who wasn't working on the construction was chilling at the bar and tables but not the schoolyard since that would be silly. I mean there are no children card games to be played. They were instead talking and enjoying their slushies which they payed a Jewel for. They knew why Sly liked them so much since it's amazing.

Erza, Gray, Kaida, Levy, Lucy, Sly, and Zane were at the bar drinking their slushies with both Erza and Levy on their third slushies. They did heed Zane's advice and drank it slowly. Erza took a bit longer to learn this but she did. "So Zane. I was thinking about our job." said Levy. "Really? I was thinking about our job being on the beach with a nice big drink and a woman with nice big bags of ice for my head." said Zane. "Seriously. You're making another quote." said Sly.

Zane shrugged as the trio of Elfman, Happy, and Natsu finally regained motion. Natsu jumped up and threw his arms in the air. "Alright! We can move again!" yelled Natsu, exhaling a torrent of fire. "Aw man. I thought he would stay down there all day and he really needs to cool off." said Gray. "So your clone told us that they would be moving in ten minutes, it's been almost an hour since your clone performed Astral Clamp on them." said Lucy.

Sly looked at her with her saying,"Result may vary depending on the person especially though with I.Q of a child.". "That's insulting Sly. Kaida is way smarter than those three. I mean she was able to figure out how to read Uwaric with a couple of weeks. It still takes Danny two hours to read a simple line of the stuff." said Zane. "Yeah. He may have the brain of a super computer but he isn't on your level when it comes to remember pointless facts and info." said Sly.

Natsu turned himself toward Zane with him pointing an accusing finger at him. "There's no way that I'm letting you get away with that Zane! It's time to fight! I'm calling you out!" yelled Natsu with his fists engulfed in flames and ready to fight. Most of the present wizards groaned and face-palmed. It seems that Natsu was calling out Zane again. Even after Zane defeated him twice. "Seriously? Do you just like losing to me? I mean if that's your kink I wouldn't judge too much." said Zane.

He turned to Levy with him whispering,"Any information is good information mainly when it comes to the art of teasing fu.". "I think you owe me man! Your watch turned me and the others into your forms and I had to save your daughter from those guys! That's two things you owe me!" said Natsu with him smirking. Erza, Gray, Happy, Laki, Lucy, Stella, and Vance sweat dropped in annoyance with Vance saying,"Ash for brains. We helped you take down those idiots remember?".

Lucy nodded as she said,"And we saved Levy, Kaida, and Sly not just Kaida.". "For my first favor, I demand a rematch on two conditions. One, you can't go Astral and Orb Form. They were the ones who defeated me last time. Two, you can't use that Astral Clamp thingy!" said Natsu with him clearly ignoring Lucy and Vance. "Thingy?" said Athena and Cole. "I'm just plain confused why he added thingy in the first place because he got the name right." said Sivarth.

Erza placed her slushie down on the bar counter and stood up, glaring right at her pink haired love interest with her eyes glowing red. "Natsu. What did I say about fighting at the guild?" said Erza. "I need you to calm down Prude Knight. Anger makes you do stupid things and makes your ugliness more apparent. Is that right Kaida?" said Zane. "I guess so but I don't see it." said Kaida. "Okay. It seems that I'm alone in that thought but Natsu is right." said Zane.

Every wizard looked at Zane in shock with them murmuring with each other. "I can't believe it. Did Zane just admit that Natsu is right?" said Droy. "Believe it or not, he did." said Jet. "There's a first for everything." said Vance. "What do you mean he's right?" said Erza in a stern tone. "Calm down. You need a chill pill asap. Natsu did save Kaida, Levy, and Sly from Bimbo and her minions when I was unable to. I owe him that much." said Zane.

Erza looked at him with her saying,"I can't have you two fighting and cause more damage than we've already done.". "And you need not to worry about that either. Unlike the rest of you nimrods, I can contain my destruction to a single person. I promise that this will be quick and there will be not a single ounce of destruction toward the guild's construction. Trust me. Scouts honor!" said Zane as Sly sighed. "You were kicked out remember?" said Sly.

Levy looked at him with her saying,"Um context?". "Fine. I tied one of my admires to a tree on a camping trip when we were kids and well, she told her parents. As of now, I can't be in any scout group. Such a shame really. I would have made an excellent girl scout. They allow boys now. If girls can be in the boys scouts, boys should be allowed in the girl scouts." said Zane. Erza looked hard at Zane with her sighing heavily and gave him her approval with a nod.

If things were going to go out of control, she would step in to handle. She was always interested in seeing the fight between the superhero and her love interest. Zane smirked and he said,"Okay. Lets begin. Natsu. Bring it on.". "All right! I'm fired up!" said Natsu with his flames coursing around him and it was intense. "Are they seriously fighting again?" said a fearful Lucy since she was worried about her secret beau. "This will be fun." said Happy, enjoying his fish slushie.           

He got it from Mira earlier. "Yeah. Watching Natsu get his ass kicked by Zane is always funny. It's like every other day." said Gray, smirking. "So is him losing his clothes normal?" whispered Kaida to Levy. Gray was sitting in his boxers being that Levy nodded. "Yeah. According to him, his stripping habit is from his teacher." said Levy. "Excuses are still excuses Levy. That's something my papa says a lot." said Kaida. "That does sounds like him." said Levy and Sly.

Zane held his watch in front of him being that all wizards ,who were near by, stepped away from the upcoming fight. Erza stood by with her arms folding over her breastplate, looking right at Zane with her hoping that Zane wasn't lying. As Zane looked at Natsu with him saying,"Natsu. I'm sure you've seen me defeat countless opponents using my forms right? This one will do the job plus I'll keep my promise to Prude Knight.".

Natsu charged at Zane with flaming fists and he said,"You're going down Zane!". Zane smirked as he transformed into a fusion of Specter Form and Vampire Form, called Specter Vampire Form. His body was more see through with him looking more ghost like and vaporous. He’s seven feet tall. He has pale gray skin which looks semi-transparent and vaporous. His head is more cylindrical with his singular eye being in the center of it. His arms are well developed.

His body is completely covered in black cracks that connect to his eye. His eye has a bright red slit pupil and black iris. His mouth is closed with white ,shark like teeth, with two of them sticking out of his mouth and works as his fangs. He has a long black and white stripped tongue in his mouth and bat like ears. His hair is a white fog like ghostly plume that replaced his hair and looked like fire. He wears a black old and very ripped jumpsuit with a cowl like hood that he wears over his face.

It covers his entire face ,except for his chin, with his white bangs sticking out of the cowl. He has crimson red markings on his chest/stomach area, legs with it being two stripes, and shoulders. This also has gold chains on the front side of his body with bracelets/cuffs around his arms, neck, and waist and gold chains connected them together. He has a short red antenna with a disc shaped top in the center of his chest with it not interfere with the chain.

He wears steel gray metal like gloves ,that goes down to his ankles, with five crimson red bone claws for fingers. He has metal knee pads despite not having knees. He has black flaps ,under his arms, which can extend outward like bat wings. His elbow had spikes on them. His legs are now a wispy tail. Natsu leaped at Zane with his right fist cocked back. "You're going down Zane and by my Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" yelled Natsu.

Before the fist could contact with Zane, it was stopped by Zane with him holding his right hand and all the momentum Natsu gained was lost as he stopped in midair. Most of the Fairy Tail wizards were intrigued with this new form that they hadn't seen before. The trio of Happy, Lucy, and Natsu had seen Specter Form before today while Team Natsu seen Vampire Form before he changed. Kaida, Levy, and Sly were the exception as they smirked slyly.

All of them having an small inkling to what Zane was going to do. "Hey! What's going on?! Put me down!" yelled Natsu with him being shocked and confused. Zane floated up to him with him saying in a deep, haunting voice,"Oh Natsu. Now why would I do that since we're fighting? I think I'll take you for a ride instead. Hope you're flexible Natsu.". He flew into Natsu, causing him to fall onto the ground and have a green glow around his body.

Happy looked at his partner with him saying,"Natsu. Are you okay? You're silent and Zane is gone which is already pretty weird to begin with.". Natsu looked up at him with an impish grin. "I'm just perfect Happy my dear buddy! I think it's time to dance!" said Natsu. Before anyone could comment about this, Natsu began dancing. He was dancing like a pro being that he was performing impressive moves.

This took everyone by surprise with Gray saying,"Okay. I'm lost. So what's going on?". "Zane has taken over Natsu's body and making him dance. It's pretty simple." said Levy, sipping her slushie. "You're right girlfriend! I think it's time to increase my funky flow!" said Natsu. He began breakdancing with him moving at an insane speed until he was nothing more than a blur of green and pink. "Wow. I think he's making Natsu spin right like a record baby." said Macao.

Wakaba took a puff from his pipe with him saying,"And now, we have another thing that Zane has done to shock us. He's really good at that.". "Wow. I think I've seen those two forms before but what can their fusion do?" said Lucy. "Nice job noticing that is a fusion of Specter Form and Vampire Form called Specter Vampire Form. He's taking control of Natsu's body to make him spin around very fast and not move, causing little damage." said Sly.

Happy smiled as he said,"Wow. He's using Natsu's motion sickness again!". "He really needs to work on that because Zane is going to keep using that for his advantage." said Gray. After a moment, Natsu stopped spinning and stood in place. Zane phased out of Natsu with the dragon slayer's face was sickly green and his eyes were spinning. He was about to hurl at any moment with Zane saying,"I think you've learned your place Natsu but just to make sure.".

During his breakdance, Zane spotted something and made two bricks come toward them. Zane poked Natsu in the chest, causing him to drop onto the ground and was in a dizzy held. The ghost vampire stood over him with him holding the two bricks from earlier. He dropped them onto Natsu's head and the teen had a couple of red bumps sprouted from his head. He was knocked out being that all present had witnessed the one-sided fight bursting out into laughter.

Before Zane joined the guild, it wasn't normal to see Natsu defeated quickly. The only wizards in the guild who were known for defeating Natsu so fast was Erza and Gildarts aka the clear copycat of the most badass normal human ,as of Chapter 962, from One Piece. I mean I'll defend Fairy Tail for being original and not copying One Piece but I won't defend this one. Laxus and Mystogan were also candidates who could defeat Natsu easily.

One did it because of Natsu being annoying and the other one not wanting anyone to meet him due to him being shy. "Way to go Natsu! You may be a sucky fighter but your dance ain't half bad!" said Gray. "Yeah! Guess we know who the real man in this guild is!" said Elfman, holding his sides from laughter. Zane transformed back to normal with him smirking. "Guess you lost this time. Try again and just maybe, I'll give you a fight but probably not." said Zane.

Wakaba looked at Zane with him saying,"Wow. He defeated Natsu in a minute.". "I think it was under a minute but yeah. I think he should have used this thing the last two times." said Macao. Erza took her slushie and sucked down the remaining contents, making sure to drink slowly. Once the glass was emptied of its divine substance, she sat it back down on the counter and approached Zane with an idea which was a wonderful one I might add.

Erza looked at Zane with her saying,"Impressive Zane Using your opponent's weakness to your advantage. Is this something you do often as Legion Zero?". "Yep. It's kinda easy for me to see since I can see weakness coming from pretty much anything. Anything that's invincible has a weakness and I exploit it. Why prolong a fight when I could solve with a simple move. I could have used Frost Form or Gravity Form to handle it but hey, I like to diversify my options." said Zane.

Erza allowed a smile to cross her lips with her thinking,"Modesty is something you don't really see in men most of the time. It's clear to me and Master that Zane is more powerful than he has shown.". "I think you would like a greater challenger than Natsu." said Erza. "What are you taking about? I mean Hatchling isn't that big of a challenge to begin with." said Zane. "Zane. I've been meaning to ask you something for a while now." said Erza.

Zane looked at her as he said,"Is it super important Prude Knight because it can wait right? I'm not going anywhere time soon since we can't go on jobs yet.". "Zane. I need you to be a hundred percent serious for a moment. No jokes or taking light of a situation." said Erza. "I can't promise that but I'll try since you sound serious for once. Shoot but not literally Erza. I mean that's Bisca's thing and I just can't stop with the jokes. It's a curse." said Zane, shrugging.

Erza crossed her arms as Zane sighed. "Okay fine. Go nuts kid." said Zane. "I was going to ask you this earlier before Phantom Lord but we need some time to truly calm down after those events. So I hope you accept me when I ask you this." said Erza. "Oh god. She's proposing isn't she? I told you a thousand time to hold back the male model expression but no. You didn't listen to me and now, we got another red-haired psychopath in love with you!" said Lucifer.

Sivarth nodded as he said,"He does attract red heads most often Lucifer which is one of the most attractive hair color in the Omniverse but he has gotten out of his way to make her hate him with a blinding passion. He also has a stalker in this dimension so he can't have two of them. I mean one stalker is better than two stalkers.". "What if the stalkers are twins?" said Kane. "Is this something that warrants a discussion?" said Twilight. "Yes." said Kane, Lucifer, and Sivarth.

During this conversation between Zane's partners, Erza was looking right at Zane. She wondered how strong Zane truly was since in the time that she's known him, he's been holding back. There was one true way to truly measure Zane's strength. Without warning, Erza summoned a silver magical sword into existence. With quick reflexes, she pointed the tip of her blade right at Zane's throat. Instead of reacting to it in a scared motion, Zane blinked. 

Zane looked at her with him saying as he psychically move the blade away from his neck,"So I'm sure that since the last time you did this, you and I didn't know each other. We do know each other now and we hate each other with a burning passion. I mean I do since you are wearing that tacky armor not in battle. I mean it's clearly not armor season. I think it was tube tops.". Erza had a serious expression on her face as she honed her brown eyes right on him.

Erza spoke without an annoyance of hesitance in her voice,"Zane Vincent Alvarez. I challenge you to a one on fight.". Zane raised an eyebrow with him tilting his head and he said,"Que?". Upon hearing this, all of the Fairy Tail wizards looked at this in shock and began talking to each other. "Wow. This is so damn rare. Erza has never challenge anyone before. It's always been the other way around right man?" said Droy. "It was mainly Natsu." said Jet.     

Vance looked at the two with him saying,"Why are you telling me that?". "I can't believe it! Did Erza really just challenge Zane?!" said Lucy. "Aye! Unlike Natsu and Zane, Erza doesn't joke around when it comes to a fight. So Sly, is there just one fish slushie or different flavors depending on the type of fish." said Happy. "Yes. I would recommend the mackerel slushie myself but Zane prefers the salmon one himself. More tangy according to him." said Sly.

Gray paled a little with him saying in fear,"Two of the most powerful wizards in Fairy Tail slugging it out. God. I really hope we don't have to repair it.". "Okay. I know that you hate me because of all of my pranks on you. I mean sure. Turning you into Gluttony Form, causing you to look stupid, and so much other stuff but fighting? Is that really a good idea? I mean you've seen how strong I am and I defeat you before. You do remember the Ethereal Mania incident right?" said Zane.

Erza smiled as she said,"Zane. For once in your life, do you have to make this about you?". "And you clearly don't know me." said Zane. "This isn't personal Zane. I just want to see how strong you really are and there's only one real way to test that." said Erza. Zane could tell that she was serious about this since he did defeated a wizard saint with relative ease along with two S Class wizard back to back without a break.

Elfman placed a hand on Zane's shoulder with him saying,"Come on Zane! You're a real man so you'll accept the challenge.". After this, Zane flipped Elfman onto the ground. Soon, most wizards had gathered from the construction site and cheered for Zane to accept the challenge. Zane was very much tempted to use Empyrean Will on them to shut them up but the sword which had been nudged back to his throat made it clear what his option was.

Erza smiled with her saying in a teasing tone,"How about it Alvarez? Are you going to accept? Or are you scared?". "Oh. You're teasing me now. Color me impressed. Okay. I guess if you want a beating from me instead of Natsu, I'll give it to you. You may not get the same amount of effort and power I used on Second Place but whatever. You got a fight and I hope you can deliver it." said Zane. Erza pulled her sword away from Zane's throat and smiled at him.

Erza said,"Good. We'll fight tomorrow.". "Why not now? I mean if you're so confident, why not fight me when I'm worn out from dealing with Natsu." said Zane, pointing to him. "Didn't you once say that having presentation is more important in a fight than the actual fighting part?" said Erza. "That I did Prude Knight. Okay. Lets fight tomorrow. Shake on it." said Zane. The two shook hands as everyone there broke out into applause.

Most of them had been hard at work for the past couple weeks repairing the Guild Hall and they had something to break the monotony. Everyone was excited being that first thing tomorrow, they would witness the fight between the Queen of the Fairies and the Earth's Protector. Zane had many different titles. The news about the fight spread faster than Jet could ever be. "So I get that Erza isn't the best at being the most social but why the sword?" said Athena.

A moment later, Natsu had overcame his vertigo and returned to his feet. He grinned hungrily being that he was still nauseous at the time. He had overheard Zane accepting Erza's challenge. He was real excited to see Zane finally get a taste of humble pie since no one has beaten Erza. I can name a good two people who has defeated Erza so far in Fairy Legion and neither of them is Zane. My only hint is that they're stronger than her in my opinion.

Zane looked at Natsu being that it didn't take his telepathy to figure out Natsu's plan. "Hey Natsu. I have a challenge for you." said Zane. Natsu slowly turned to see Zane holding a large mug of cherry grape slushie in his left hand and he motioned to an dark green slushie in his right hand. "If you can't finish this drink before I finish mine, I won't use any of my really powerful forms on Prude Knight tomorrow. Are you in or not?" said Zane.

He placed in a straw as Natsu growled and clenched his fists in anger. He wouldn't never turn a challenge from Zane. He knows that Erza is the strongest woman he knows and don't need any help whatsoever in a fight even against Zane, he would help in any way that he can. "You're on!" said Natsu, taking the green slushie. They both lifted their mugs and chugged the slushies contents down as Happy smiled.

Due to his black hole like stomach, Zane finished his before Natsu. He placed the mug down with him looking victorious on his face. Even without factoring Zane's cryokinetic power, Zane could handle the cold easily and was practically immune to brain freeze. He discovered this out when he, Allen, Danny, Efren, and Kevin had a slushie drinking contest and Zane won being that the other four had a bad case of brain freeze.

Natsu wasn't so lucky being that at the halfway point, his eyes widened as he was struck with an very agonizing pain. He fell to the floor, twitching from the severe brain freeze. Gray smirked as he said,"Nice.". The two fist bumped with Lucy sighed. "Did you two plan this or what?" said Lucy with her arms crossed. "Not really. It was pretty obvious that I was doing something like that. I mean it's me after all Lucy." said Zane. "Yeah and who knew he had a brain to freeze?" said Gray.

Zane said,"When I possessing him, there was something in his head but I don't think it was a brain. I think maybe a hamster on a wheel.". Natsu looked at the drink with him saying,"This tastes awful man! What is in this?". "Oh nothing much. It's some gutted flying fish, cooked grubs, blue milk, and rock cake. I got a lot of insects just for you buddy." said Zane, looking at his hand. Natsu's eyes widened as the entire guild went silent. The dragon slayer stood up as his face turned a sickly green.

He screamed out in shock with his infamous toothy grin sticking out as he ran to the nearby empty barrel and puked like nothing else. Everyone blinked at this with them looking at Zane whose smile was bright. "And I think you'll learn not to invade my personal property and constantly challenge me to a fight." said Zane. "Do you really not stop with the pranks?" said Lucy. "Not really. I was going to give him a Tomato/Smoked Salmon one but meh." said Zane.

Happy looked at Zane with him saying,"Why did you burn the fish?". "I didn't mean to but it just happens sometimes." said Zane. "Okay. Mind telling me how to make that? I kinda want to see that again." said Gray, pointing to Natsu. "Sure." said Zane. "Sly. These slushies are beyond amazing! I can see the true amazing value of these scrumptious drinks. This one Zane gave me is strawberry flavored right?" said an excited Erza.

The Akostar was reminded of Wolfram when looking at the knight right now. "Yep. It's actually Strawberry/Banana. If you want, I can make other strawberry flavors slushies." said Sly with her regretting saying that due to the knight's lust for anything strawberries. Erza's eyes widened and lighten up more with her giddy. "Really Sly?! If so, what other strawberry flavors can you make for me?!" said Erza.

Zane looked at Erza being that she reminded him of whenever Uriel asks to go into a candy store being that she still does that to this day much to her embarrassment. "Let me see. I think there is the Pure Strawberry flavor, Strawberry and Lemon flavor, Strawberry and Orange flavor, Strawberry and Kiwi flavor, Strawberry and Grape, ...." said Sly as she began listing off slushies that had strawberries in them.

There's a Strawberry mixture slushie for Tangerines, Apples, Blueberries, Raspberries, Boysenberries, Coconut, Pineapple, Grapefruit, Mango, Papya, Watermelon, Blackberry, Plum, Kumquat, Cranberry, Lime, Tomato, Cantaloupe, Avocado, Chestnut, Hazelnut, Eggfruit, Guava, Raisin, and several others. "So is she okay?" said Sly. Erza was quiet being that she had a very interesting look on her face.

Erza's eyes were fully lighted up with rotating strawberries, her face was blushing red, her hands were held on her chest in a prayer like posture, and her face had a blissful smile. She looked like she was starting off into space and looking into heaven or her happy place. "Strawberries." said Erza in a hypnotized fashion being that her mind exploded. Thank the gods that her head didn't exploded as well.

She was stunned at the amount of strawberry flavored slushies that could be make for her. She didn't know where to begin as she felt like trying them all but didn't know which new flavor she should began to enjoy first. First world problems? Erza fainted once again being that she fell on her back being that her face showed absolute bliss. "Erza! Ah man not again!" said a distress Mira. "Don't worry Mira. I got this!" said Sly.

She flew off to go make another slushie for Erza being that no one ,including Zane to an extent, could understand why these two are cuckoo for cocoa puffs for slushies. After that, Erza had been woken up after pouring another slushies down her throat and everyone enjoyed their slushies in the air being that it was a good reason to take a break from working hard on construction. It was also because of the heat.

The very next day around eight o clock, all of Fairy Tail was gathered in the courtyard. Everyone was geared up and greatly excited for the fight about to take place. Many had beer and slushie mugs in hands, talking about random things, and others were placing bets to predict the winner. Cana and Sly were talking everyone's bets. "So we can finally see who's better. Erza or Zane. I got my money on Zane. I mean he did knock her without a single touch when they first met." said Gray.

Natsu was excited to see who was going to come out on top being that it was obvious who he was rooting for. "Man. It should be fighting her. I mean I've gotten really strong." said Natsu. Happy flew up to him as he said,"You were destroyed last time. I mean don't you think that you should rest after what happened yesterday.". "Yeah. It was pretty funny seeing you get tripped by candy syrup and then knocked out with some gas from that overgrown robot." said Vance.

Natsu grumbled something as Stella said,"Oh wow Natsu. Oohoo you kiss your mother with that mouth of yours.". Lucy looked to see that both Erza and Zane were missing. "So where are they? I mean they're the fighters right?" said Lucy. One of the two fighters were found when she stepped out from the bar area, carrying two slushies. Sly smirked being that everyone may have liked Zane's invention, Erza liked them the most.

The Akostar was happy that there was finally someone who could understand the love that she has for slushies. Zane was eventually found with Kaida since the two went to go get cupcakes before the fight and also to make sure that Juvia was nearby, ready to watch the fight. Before the fight could begin, a man ran into the courtyard. He was small in stature, roughly five foot two and slightly pudgy compared to a normal man. His BMI is 25 if you were curious.

He has brown and very shaggy hair with a round face. He has dark blue eyes. He's wearing a white button up shirt with a green vest to go over it, brown slacks, and blue shoes. Everyone looked at this man in bewilderment. The man looked around with him finding the duo of Erza and Zane. They were standing in the middle of the crowd so they were easy to find. He was breathing heavily and his face covered in sweat like he just ran a marathon.

It wasn't that in all reality being that his office was about five minutes from the guild hall but his weight made running hard. His hands were on his knees as he struggled to catch his breath. Everyone was pretty sure that this man was out of shape. "Um hi. Who are you and are you okay? I mean you clearly need medical assistance like badly. Someone should get you a doctor who isn't me. I'm not in the mood today. Maybe tomorrow though." said Zane.

The man looked at the duo with him saying in pauses,"I'm fine. My name is Stuart. The mayor's assistant. I've come to deliver a message from him to you. The mayor heard about this fight and has forbidden you two from fighting in Magnolia.". "Huh?!" said the entire Fairy Tail guild except for Erza and Zane. "Can't fight?! What do you mean that they can't fight?!" said Nab. "Shut up guy who got owned in one shot by Lugnut. I'm just shocked that we have a mayor." said Zane.

Erza looked at him with her saying,"Seriously? I'm sure you've read about him in your research for the Alliance.". "Kinda but he isn't a well known one. I mean he doesn't beat the one who said git 'em multiple times, the one whose head is a beefburger, the one who sounds like a Kennedy, one whose assistant is really attractive plus whose face I couldn't see clearly and who fond of pickles, one whose made of 95% helium, and one who wrestles." said Zane.

Sly looked at Zane with her saying,"I know that was a rapid fire amount of references but I have to ask. Were you and her serious?". "Kinda but you know me and redheads. We're like crazy in the sack but bluenettes are a very close second. I remember that one bluenette. Man, me and her were like rabbits." said Zane. All of the girls ,except for Kaida, blushed as Cana turned to Levy whose face was bright red and smoking. "Have fun you crazy kids. Don't make a auntie yet." said Cana.

Stuart ,seemingly unphazed by Zane, said,"The mayor knows how powerful Ms. Titania here is.". "I disagree." said Zane, earning a look from Erza. "And he knows about him. His mouth and his power are unmatched. He can change into different takeovers that are well known to be quite powerful according to Sorcerer Weekly. The damage that both of them could cause is preposterous being that him alone could destroy the whole town of Magnolia according to the mayor." said Stuart.

Zane smirked as he said,"See Prude Knight? You couldn't have destroyed the whole town by yourself but I can. Guess I win.". "Ignore him. We won't be having the fight here. We were going to fight at my training ground. It's a large open area in the East Forest and a couple miles away from Magnolia so the town will be safe." said Erza. "Wow. I'm impressed Prude Knight but not telling me about your training ground. I'm hurt." said Zane.

After hearing this, Stuart blinked a couple of times. He let out a loud groan before collapsing on the ground and he had ran for nothing except losing a couple of grams. "Okay. I think one of us should take him back to the mayor's house. Since I had no idea who he was until today. One of you wizards should go. I elected Fanboy." said Zane. About an hour later, the guild had relocated to Erza's training ground like she asked.

Most were pissed off since they had to walk a couple miles outside of town with them carrying beer kegs which was heavy and Jet was pissed since Stuart wasn't light plus Zane's comments weren't helping his mood any more. The more rational wizards ,aka all the females and a couple of the guys aka Gray and Makarov, understood why the fight need to be somewhere secluded. Others such as Natsu and Vance were a different story.

Erza's training ground was a large open area of grass and dirt in the middle of the lush East Forest being that the long grass had been cut. It was either because of Erza or someone who cared about the forest's maintenance. The wizards were gathered around the northern rim of the area, giving the duo of Erza and Zane plenty of room. "Ugh! Hurry up! It's fighting time!" yelled Natsu with his body covered in flames from excitement. He was doused by Zane in Water Form (armor).

Zane didn't look at him with him saying,"Calm down. I'm just making sure the bookkeepers get their money being that this battlefield is pretty nice. A bit too pedestrian for my liking but I've been fighting in classic to modern arenas since I was sixteen. I remember when my grandma had me almost killed due to me being well a guy at the time. Kinda switch between the two on a semi annual basis.". "Huh?" said Erza. "A very long story." said Zane.

From across the crowd, Cana were sitting on a wooden crate. A barrel of beer was by her side as she was in charge of bets. Nearly everyone was betting on Erza to win since well, she's the strongest woman in Fairy Tail and also the woman who rains on their parade. Some of them were betting on her because this girl tormented and haunted their nightmares ever since she was a little girl which is kinda sad. Natsu bet on her since he liked her obviously.

A small group consisted of Bisca, Cana, Gray, Kaida, Levy, Mira, Sly, and Stella were part of the group who decided to bet on Zane. "You got this man. Don't let me down!" said Gray. "Yeah. We can get fish money for this!" said Happy. "Plus papa never loses." said Kaida. "Except when it comes to being silent." said Bisca. "Yeah but that's part of his charm." said Mira. "I guess so." said Bisca as she looked at Zane who deactivated Water Form.

Makarov and Wakaba walked up to the brunette drinker and placed their bets. Macao wagered a good five hundred Jewels for Zane to win and Wakaba bet five hundred Jewels on Erza winning by only requip/re-quip into four armors. "Man. It's no wonder I get rich off you Wakaba. Erza can't win because Zane has those forms. Remember the super cool robot or really anything. He made Natsu look like a joke using that one that looks like slime." said Macao in a smug tone.

Before Macao's ego could get too big, Levy decided to interject. "Zane won't be changing into his more powerful forms. He wants it to be a fair fight being that according to Zane, he could win easily using Astral Form, Atomic Form, Radiation Form, Titan Form, and Vampire Form. In my research from what I saw, those five are some of his more stronger forms." said Levy. This caused Macao's confidence to deflate.

Wakaba grinned with him taking another puff from his pipe as he said,"In other words, Erza is going to wipe the floor with him.". Macao glared at his life long best friend with him saying,"Don't count on it smoke for brains! He has over a million forms that can kick her ass!". The two argued with Kaida saying,"So are they like the older Gray and Natsu?". Sly ,in her human form, nodded as she said,"And that's why you're a genius like your father sometimes.".     

The trio of Gray, Lucy, and Natsu were standing together being that the boys were ready for the fight to begin and Lucy wasn't. "I don't know if this is a good idea you guys." said Lucy. "What do you mean? I mean those two fight like every other day. Even more than me and ash for brains do which is saying a lot." said Gray. "I mean what if Erza and Zane REALLY hate each other after this? This could break up our team." said Lucy.

Natsu laughed and put her fears to rest. "Come on Luce. There's nothing worry about. I mean sure him and Erza disagree but a wise man once said that only true friends fight." said Natsu. "Really? I thought it was because Sly and Zane weren't a part of your team." said Stella's voice. Both her and Elfman walked over to them with Elfman saying,"Plus a fight is the only way to prove how manly they are.". "But Erza isn't a man." said Lucy.

Stella shrugged as she said,"True but she doesn't exactly act feminine all the time like you or Mira do Lucy.". "So how did you bet on Lucy? I bet on Erza!" said Happy, flying toward them. "Um. I would normally not bet because I don't want either of them to lose." said Lucy. "But this time, Luce decided to bet on Erza since we're a team right?" said Natsu, smiling. Lucy looked at him as she said,"Um. I actually bet on Zane.". "Really?" said Gray and Stella.

Lucy nodded as Happy looked at Lucy's shoulder and had an idea. He sprouted his wings and flew up behind her. The blue cat looked at his paw and then at Lucy's shoulder. Out of curiosity, Happy began smacking his paw into Lucy's shoulder. Lucy turned to him, confused by Happy but instantly figured out what he was doing. "Are you trying to use the Astral Clamp on me?!" said an angry Lucy. "No way Lucy. I'm just giving you a massage." said Happy. No one believed him.

In the middle of the field being at least fifty yards from the assembled Fairy Tail wizards, the duo of Erza and Zane were facing each other. They were separated by about ten yards. Both of them had a smile of confidence with both standing calm and collected. "So are you ready for this? You should know that I don't go easy on girls or very masculine women like yourself. I mean I doubt you're the strongest woman in Fairy Tail because Levy, Sly, and Stella would disagree." said Zane.

Erza smirked as she said,"I would expect nothing less from you because I won't be going easy on you despite your age. So how about a bet? You've done that before with Natsu twice.". "Sure why not Prude Knight. What do you want from me? I can do everything except bedroom stuff. I'm very happy with Levy and I'm pretty sure she's not in threesome yet. Things changes which includes a person's sexual preferences. I can speak from personal experiences." said Zane.

Athena said,"Are you talking about Rae?". "You know he is!" said Cole. "Ignoring that. If I win in our fight Zane, you will be joining Team Natsu." said Erza. "Is that it? I mean Natsu tried to get me and Sly to join your team since Day 1 and I'm thinking of my own personal team involving me, Sly, and Levy." said Zane, crossing his arms. "Nope. I'm just getting started. If I win, you will stop with the nicknames and be nice to the entire guild. You'll be helping with the construction." said Erza.

Zane looked at her as he said,"Seriously? That's kinda tame wagering but to fair, you're Prude Knight and prudes don't let .". "I really don't think that's a fair comparison since you're very evil when it comes to betting." said Azalea. "I'm still not done Zane. If I win, you will give everyone some of the billion Jewels you stole from Lucy's father." said Erza. "What?!" yelled the guild. "Prude Knight! I was keeping that a secret for me. Your house wasn't destroyed during the war." said Zane.

Sly sighed as Erza said,"While I'm against you stealing, I personally feel that everyone deserves some of that mainly Lucy. She still needs to pay her rent. In fact, I want you to give three months rent since you two are Nakama. We help each other in times of need.". "Okay then. I accept these terms. Now here is mine. If I win, I don't give away my money. I'm also nice to people. Not going to change over night and since I'm a fan of love, I want you to kiss Natsu." said Zane.

He pointed at Natsu with him saying,"I have knowledge that our fair pyromanic has kissed a girl and while I can't confirm that her lips tasted like cherry or some other fruit, he in fact liked it.". Erza's eyes widened before hardened not a second. "Zane. You're serious about this. No tomfoolery or silliness. I'm also including your nonsense, malarkey, and shenanigans." said Erza. "Nope. I'm a hundred percent serious. So are you in?" said Zane.

Erza nodded as Cana said,"All bets are in!". Makarov walked over to the two with him getting ready to referee. "I expect a good, clean fight between you two. The battle between Erza and Zane will be begin and this battle will be over when one side is unable to continue." said Makarov. "Can I do some tomfoolery? Or is this a boring fight." said Zane. Makarov didn't answer him as Zane shrugged. "I guess so." said Zane. "Begin!" said Makarov, raising his hand.

He quickly got away from the fight being that Erza instantly requipped into her Black Wing Armor with her holding her jagged sword, taunting him. "Oh Prude Knight. Are you challenge me to a swords fight? Fine. You just made a big mistake like your hair or your outfit. Pick your answer. I think both of them are bad." said Zane. He transformed into a new form. He's 8 feet tall with him currently in a stance that can be seen ready for dance and battle at the same time.

His body is navy blue with parts of his body ,his arms and legs, being white. He has broad shoulders, long and slender arms and legs for dancing and fighting, and a narrow waist. He has two small silver horns that point outwards from his forehead. His face is primarily black with a gold outline. He has triangular violet eyes which is exposed thanks to his helmet, He has wavy shoulder length violet hair which covers a bit of his eyes.

He wears a round gold and silver war helmet which looks natural. He has five fingers on each hand and his arms are shaped like tonfas with extendable green broadsword blades from the back of it. He has two dark red fin-like horn that extends from his chest and it turned to create a heart like shape. He wears a black tank top with dark red pants. He wears black and white sneakers ,with blades on the bottom of it, with a long flowing purple scarf which covers his mouth. 

Everyone looked at this new form with intrigue, awe, and lust. The latter of which is because of his looks. "So this form is a warrior correct? Quite interesting but this armor is more than capable of handing it." said Erza. "Okay. Fine I'll show you what Dancer Form can do." said Zane. He rushed toward Erza with Erza shaking her head. "So foolish Zane. Do you really think a straight on attack will work on someone like me?" said Erza.

Just as Zane got into view, she was about to slash at him but he vanished from her sight. She turned around and brought her sword around, clashing blades with Zane. Both sides backed away with both of them on different sides from when we started. "Nice. You're better than the last swordsman I thought. I use the term swordsman even thought I'm like seventy percent sure that he's female despite her boyish figure but right now, I'm not one to talk." said Zane.

Zane looked at her with him saying,"Time for Collection Slash and Corkscrew Fracture.". The form slammed his right blade into the ground, confusing Erza. It wasn't obvious to her but Zane was gathering up his energy like Zenith Sphere. However, Erza and the crowd figured out what Zane was doing. Several energy ,being steel gray, chains came out of the ground and headed right toward Erza who got ready to fight them off.

She slashed the chain being that they didn't stop whatsoever in trying to capture her. Zane rushed toward her with him jumping toward her. He left behind a shockwave after jumping with him slashing the air in a rapid fashion. It created several powerful horizontal and vertical air slashes. The knight had to make another sword appear in order to keep the chains and Zane's second attack at bay but due to this, she couldn't block his headbutt right to her exposed stomach.

While she was staggered, Zane delivered two powerful hooks to her and kicked her back. She tumbled before getting back on her feet. The chains were gone as Erza looked at Zane. "Not bad. I thought this form was like that little one you turned me into or the one that you used to tease me with the other day." said Erza. "Well, I'm a little hurt but whatever. Is that all you got? I'm not like those goons you fight. I'm a man or hero." said Zane.

Erza flew at Zane at a high speed, slashing at him. She was slashing in very swift motions with Zane dodging each strike. "Wow. She's fast. I guess you using those two gave her more power. Kinda forgot about that feature didn't you or was part of your plan to make this fight more epic." said Twilight. "I'll need my team of lawyers present for me to answer that question Twilight old pal." said Zane as he blocked her slashes.

Azalea nodded as she said,"Ignore Zane's love for presentation which is important somewhat. I think she's fast as Jose at the start of your fight with him.". "Which makes her super easy to read." said Sivarth. Zane nodded as he found his weak point on her. He dodged left with him swatting at Erza. She brought her swords to swing yet again but failed due to both swords flying out of hand and landed in the ground, blade first.

She watched as the swords flew out of hand and flapped her wings, going back to cover distance between her and Zane. Everyone was amazed. Nobody was quick enough to swat Erza's sword out of her hands. "Wow. He's fast!" said Mira. "That's what she said!" said Cole, earning a smack from Kane and Lucifer. "Yeah. I think he's faster than Jose was. He was pretty much keeping up to speed with the guild master." said Gray without a shirt.

Cana sighed as she said,"Gray. Clothes.". Gray panicked and quickly tried to find his clothes as the battle continued. "So is that all you got? I mean I'm barely breaking a sweat here." said Zane with him putting his right hand on his hip. "Your form's speed. Quite impressed in fact. I know about your combat experience. Mind telling me how you were able to counter someone of my speed." said Erza as she grabbed her swords.

Zane smiled with him saying,"It was my weapon's teacher. He's a crazy son of a bitch but Theron is like my uncle and possible godfather to one of my kids.". "Moon Flash!" said Erza with her rushing toward Zane and ready to strike. She slashed at him in a cross pattern. "Whatever. Astral Smash!" said Zane. He began charging up energy as he dodged her attack by moving around it from the left and then the right.

After that, he charged right at her and moved incredibly fast. Zane punched her into the air and this send her flying into the air, creating strong winds. "This is so intense!" shouted Natsu as Happy was forced to cling onto Lucy's shoulder due to the intense wind. Erza caught herself and landed on the ground. Both her and Zane had no damage being that she grinned at Zane. She was impressed with Zane's skills but Zane was somewhat.

Zane sighed as he said,"So was that it? I mean speed is good but without power. I got nothing to say to you but eh.". "Oh yeah. Is that so Zane? I think this armor will do me good. Requip: Flight Armor!" said Erza. She changed into her speed "armor" and Zane rolled his eyes. "Seriously? How in the nine realms is that armor?! It barely protects you!" said Zane. "Is he still on that?" said Jet as Sly shrugged. "He's a very petty person." said Sly.

Erza looked at Zane with her saying,"As you probably know, this is my Flight Armor.". "More like Cheetah Stripper if you ask me." said Zane. "Anyway, this increases my speed." said Erza. She was gone as she appeared in front of Zane. She slashes at him with two swords, knocking him and landing with a big thud on his back. Everyone looked on in shock as Zane was beaten in speed and this fight was escalating. "Oh wow! She's like a blur with spots!" said Lucy.

Mira looked at Zane with her hands clasped. "I know that armor increases her speed but for Zane not to counter her, it's kinda rare to see." said Mira. "Pretty sure my idiot boyfriend is doing this to build up suspense." said Levy. Zane sat up and watched Erza. She was waiting for him to get up so she could attack at him again. He got up with him seeing Erza ready to strike out. "Yeah. That is so not happening. Time for a different routine." said Zane.

He jumped away, creating a shockwave. In the air, Zane turned into Archangel Form and took off into the air. "Catch me if you can Stripper!" said Zane. Erza began chasing after him and leaped after him being that she was at his same elevation. "Okay then. Totally forgot that armor could fight and do something other than not be armor. Maybe I should have gone higher but hey, you win and lose some. That's the game of Life for you. It's both good and bad." said Zane.

She began slashing at him with Zane dodging her advancements. Zane ,having the aerial advantages, fired gold energy arrows at her and this sent her right toward the ground. She landed ,like a cat, and skid along the ground, regaining herself and saw Zane getting ready. He made molten gold energy appear in his hands with him saying,"Worthy Arrow!". "Isn't that?" said Stella. "Yeah. She better start moving or she's dead." said Sly.

Several gold arrows went right toward Erza being that she began shifting from left and right, barely avoiding the onslaught of golden arrows. Each arrow caused miniature explosions being that Erza leaped into the air and made a cross from her swords. Zane blocked it by two energy spears. Both attacks were cancelled out as both backed away. Erza landed safely and Zane descend to a lower altitude. "So Prude Knight. Got to be honest. This is pretty fun." said Zane.

Zane smiled as he said,"I mean I don't enjoying fighting like Gray and Hatchling do but this is relaxing and I can inflict harm to my least favorite redhead. You're strong I'll admit but to me and two other swordfighters, you're nothing but an annoyance. Your perception and speed are impressive yes and the power behind them are good enough but not good enough for this really fast form.". He slowly deactivated Archangel Form and was in a fusion form.

It was a fusion of Swift Form and Turbo Form being Swift Turbo Form. He’s 6 feet tall with his humanoid looking body being slim yet muscular. His body is covered in cerulean blue scales. The shape of his eyes are two black motorcycle google lenses in the shape of ovals with noticeable green eyes which struck out. He has steel gray markings below his eyes and has sharp teeth inside of his mouth. His head is in the shape of a helmet.

He has a triangle shaped nose alongside two gold thin ,thunder bolt shaped, horns which works as his eyebrows. His helmet is a black color with a single royal blue line going from the top of his helmet and continues onto the chin plate and stops at his neck which has a set of gills on them. He has a crimson red visor .which is a Z shape, that can flip down while running, making not to get bugs in his eyes and mouth.

It wasn’t a problem before but it’s nice to have. It also has a HUD that loads up a map, telling him where to go if needed. His legs are bent at the knee and straightened at the thigh. He's missing a finger and toe, having four fingers and toes. His feet and hands are webbed. He has a lizard like tail sticking out of his body with the tip of his tail being in the shape of a spade. His arms, legs, and tail having five white stripes. He has two emerald green wings that are under his arms.

The flaps of his wings stretch down to his tail and has large sharp blades attached to the end of them. The front side of his wings have a black zigzag like pattern being that the patagrim of his wings are a burgundy color. He’s wearing a black full body jumpsuit/speed suit. In the middle of his suit and his torso, it has a dark red arrow/thunderbolt shaped symbol with the top of it pointing up toward his head. It has an opening for his tail and wings.

He wears a black and white cape that covers the back of his wings along with the top part of his chest. He wears silver elbow and knee-pads. He wears black, red, steel gray, and white fingerless gloves and toeless boots. Before Erza could do anything about this, Zane went into the air and he said,"Turbo!". He went around in circles, making strong winds. While moving, his body was leaving behind a dark purple aura/streak that has lightning inside of it.

Erza dashed toward him with Zane flew close to the ground but at a much faster speed. Everyone had a hard time keeping track of them as they were dashing like crazy. Erza went right at Zane with her slashing the air but Zane easily got out of the way, blasting her with Turbo Form's energy blasts from his four fingers and tail primarily. It did get the best of Erza eventually being that Zane slammed right into her, sending her flying and crashing.

Everyone was stunned to see Zane keeping up with Erza and winning. Erza was a S-Class wizard but Zane was keeping up with her. He had centuries more experience in combat and strategy being that he could see all of the angles. "Turbo!" said Zane. He began flying in loop de loop, increasing his speed and went flying toward Erza. His body was covered in flames due to the speed being that Erza counted him with her sword.

Sparks literally flew as Zane went flying right into the sword. The two people ,with the two having a very confusing relationship usually involving teasing, kept their ground with Zane firing energy out of his tail, increasing the power. This made the sword crack and Erza jumped back. Zane followed through with the attack, hitting her in the side. She made her position in a defensive manner but Zane easily flew around, getting ready to smack her with his tail.

Erza jumped and evaded the tail but that left her wide open in the air. She was blasted by three energy beams which came from both of his eyes and tail. She couldn't stop this from happening being that before landing on the ground. She went on a knee, panting. Zane descended to the ground with him cracking his neck. Some people were unable to find the words. "Titania is getting her but owned by Legion Void Knight!" said Vjeeter.

Nab shook his head as he said,"No man. They're equal.". "Whatever this fight may be. It's clear that it isn't like Natsu's fight with Zane. This is a good one." said Alzack. Erza got back on her feet as she said,"I'm impressed Zane. Your battle prowess is something not to be underestimated. I thought that you were like the other old men. Over glorify your past exploits.". She grinned being that she was having fun despite her losing.

You could tell that she was having fun despite her huffing and puffing, she wasn't going to be blown any house down any time soon. Zane landed with him deactivated the very fast fusion and going into Glacier Form who had a noticeable change since the last time the group of Gray, Happy, Lucy, and Natsu saw him with the latter not really remembering him. In Natsu's defense however, he was motion sick at the time.

He no longer looks like a living ice dinosaur but a more humanoid ice like being with metal parts attached to him. He's eight feet tall and his body is made out of snow white ice. His frame looks more muscular than before but still keeps its slim appearance. His head is a more normal looking shape with two emerald green eyes. His eyes are a unique shape being seven-pointed stars with a black outline. His human like mouth has sharp teeth that stuck out of his mouth.

It looks like he's going to eat someone. His body is naturally producing frost. He's now wearing a black sleeveless tunic with a single white stripe around his waist with him wearing a black headband. He wears tattered black pants which goes down to his ankles. He grows a tail with icicles spikes going over the tail and the tip of his tail is a claw like shape with seven icicles sticking out of it. He still has the black bandages wrapped around his arms and legs.

His feet and hands have ice like claws ,with five fingers, and they’re rather sharp. He wears a silver chest plate with it being his new glider/jetpack. It has two snow white jet fighter like wings with boosters sticking out from the back of the wings. He loses the sharp icicle like spikes on his shoulders and the boots, going barefoot. Erza blinked at the strange looking form with her saying,"Despite it looking strange, I have the perfect armor for this.".

Zane blinked as he said,"Let me guess. Is it an sexy anorak? Whatever it is, I need you to chill out right now.". releasing a giant wave of snow mixed in with some ice sawblades. As this attack headed toward her, she was clad in an armor that could handle the color but it wasn't a sexy anorak. This is a real thing by the way. Anyway before I go on a rant about there being sexy version of every type of clothing, I think I should describe Erza's armor. 

This armor is a blue, short and mid-thigh length skirt with matching colored mid-thigh length heeled boots, arm length gloves, and has her hair in pig tails, tied by blue, snow flake hair pins. On her forearms, shoulders, legs, and chest, she has white plates of armor with the armor on the forearms and legs has snow flake decorations, the chest has a large, blue cross, and on her shoulder-pads there was two large white spikes on each of the shoulder-pads.

In her hands, she carried two blue hand-fans of steel, both had white fur on the top, spiked blades over the furred top and carried one fan in one hand each. She held her fans in front of her, which began absorbing the ice upon contact. "Okay. What is that armor?" said Lucy. "That would be the Blizzard Empress Armor. Think of it as the sister to her Flame Empress Armor. It's a pretty good choice against someone who uses ice like Gray or Zane at the moment." said Stella.

Gray nodded as he said,"Yeah. Zane's ice based attacks will only be half powerful. It can also freeze people at incredible speed in really strong and durable armor.". "You say that Gray but I'm way colder than you." said Zane. He made two balls of ice, throwing them straight at Erza. She stood there without moving. She made the fans block the iceballs and deflected them back at him. She collected ice within her fans and threw them toward Zane.

While they were spinning, they began generating frost and sent a powerful wave of ice at Zane with him smiling. The form stood there with him opening his mouth and holding his hands in front of him. To everyone's shock, Zane began absorbing the wave of ice and his body. "He can absorb ice like Natsu with Fire!" said Lucy. "Honestly, I didn't not see that coming." said Gray. She knew that long distance attack wasn't going to work so she went to engage Zane in close combat.

She launched herself toward Zane with Zane following suit as his back produced a powerful wave of ice coming from his glider, launching him like a rocket. Zane's hands were covered in ice and Erza's fans were doing the same. "Permafrost Emperor Subzero Punch!" said Zane. Zane's fists collided with Erza's fans which created a shockwave. An blizzard erupted and engulfed them both. The Fairy Tail wizards were focused on the scene, watching anxiously.

When the frost and smoke cleared, Erza and Zane were in a shallow crater a few yards apart. Gray haze of smoke was billowing from the rim and cracks in the earth. Frost was also there. The wizards saw a few marks of frostbits on her chest and gloves. She was unharmed being that Zane's head had a small, minor gash on it due to her fans. However, they slowly saw it healing away thanks to the ice around him and Erza. "They're both okay after that?! They're monsters!" said Lucy.

Zane slowly turned to her with him saying,"Now that's just rude Lucy. I'm clearly a ice man. Time to fly.". He was in the air with him looking down at Erza. "You may have two weapons but I have the aerial advantage. Permafrost Emperor Million Shards!" said Zane. He fired a lot of ice shards at Erza being that with her fans, she easily parried his attacks once again. Erza leapt into the air and gathered ice in her fans.

When she reared her weapons to its highest point, she let out a fearsome cry as she discharged a wave of ice at Zane again. Zane easily flew toward the wave of ice being that the ice was absorbed by Zane with him circling around Erza. Zane flew into the air above Erza with him making a giant ball of ice and snow, throwing it down on her. Erza's eyes widened as the earth erupted into a giant glacier of ice with Erza in the center of it. Zane looked at it with him waiting for Erza to come out and play.

Without warning to a normal person, a blue blur leap right out from the giant block of ice and struck at Zane. This sent him toward the ground being that he grunted as a pair of armored boots kicked him in the torso. Zane collided with the ground hard, creating a dust cloud. This caused the wizards to focus on the spot being that nothing happened. The cloud was blown apart by a giant explosion of ice and this sent Erza sliding across the ground for a few meters until she came to a complete stop.

She held up her fans, ready to strike. Zane flew out of the crater he made being that he brushed the dust off him. He showed no sign of injury much to everyone except Sly's shock. "How are you not injured by any of my attacks?" said Erza. "Hey Prude Knight. Here's a news flash. I'm really good at healing any damage I'm withstand in battle. You would have better luck drowning a fish in water than defeating me in combat. Think." said Zane, taping his head.

Erza narrowed her eyes at the living ice who was currently tap dancing. "I see. And why are you tap dancing?" said Erza. "It gives me clarity and annoys you plus I can do this. Permafrost Emperor Rumbling Stomp!" said Zane, finishing his tap routine. A lot of ice went rushing toward Erza being that it went in a straight line. She jumped back in an attempt to avoid the ice but it was really fast. She did evade it but she looked up to see four boulders ,covered in a thin layer of frost, levitated in the air.

Zane looked at her with him saying in a cocky tone,"This wasn't from my tap dance earlier but our clash of speed earlier. In a fight, always have a backup plan and that plan involves rocks covered in frost thrown at you.". Zane send the frozen rocks toward Erza being that Erza jumped toward them. She held her fans and destroy the first frost boulder. She used the second frost rock as a springboard being that she launched toward the other two.

She released another wave of ice at them, causing ice and rocks to be scattered across the area as a result of them being destroyed. Erza threw her fans at Zane who dodged them being that the fans did hit the ground, causing a huge eruption of ice to come out. As Zane landed, he got ready to fight with both of them still ready to fight at a moment notice. The Fairy Tail wizards looked on in excitement being that this fight was really good. "This fight is awesome!" said Gray, smiling.

However, Natsu wasn't as amused. "This fight is lame. I mean so far, neither of them has an serious advantage plus they're using ice!" said Natsu, crossing his arms over his chest. "Wait for it Natsu. If I know Zane, he's getting starting." said Sly, walking over to him with a cherry slushie. "How many of those had you today? I've seen you with ten of those and it isn't even lunch yet." said Lucy. "I'm an addict Lucy. Sue me." said Sly.

Erza made the first move as she leapt straight at Zane at an incredible speed, her fans ready to slice Zane. Zane deactivated the form with him grabbing both fans using his black ,with a crimson red web pattern, tendrils. "Sweet Gong!" yelled Zane as his head stretched back. He slammed his head right into Erza's torso and made him slide back a few meters. Titania winced in pain as she coughed out a bit of spit.

She felt the strength of that headbutt being that Zane was still holding back on her. "Okay. I need to come up with something. Pretty sure that she's on her third set of armor and I have the winning move ready to go. Lets see if I can make her switch out twice." thought Zane. He made a ball of light and threw it at Erza's feet. The explosion of light provided a distraction for Zane to come up with a new plan that needs a whole lot luck to complete. 

As the light died away, Erza saw something in Zane's place and its name is Jackpot Form. It had been updated by the Zenith Core like several other forms but since we didn't see it prior in Fairy Legion, I'll be using the new design by the way. He’s six feet tall with a lean yet muscular build. He looks like a harlequin, joker, or a stage performer. His skin is a tanned color. His head has two silver antennas that resemble a jester hat extended from the sides of his head. They are the same color as his scorpion tail.

He has his brown hair being that it falls down in a mop like style. His eyes are gold with no pupils with them being wide and straight out of a cartoon. He has two large pointed teeth protruding from his lower and upper jaw plus a large silver scorpion tail ,that was moving back and forth looking rather metallic, with it covered in black stripes. He wears a red waistcoat with a black long sleeved collared shirt with the sleeves widening, forming a cone-like shape.

He has no hands being that his hands are made out of sand. He wears blue jeans with them expanding around his legs and the tips of his boots ,that still go up to his shins, are curled backwards. He wears purple leather gloves. Erza looked at Zane with her wondering what this form could do being that she gathered that it had something to do with his tail. She got her answer as a giant wave of sand went at her being that Zane stood there with his arms crossed and hands glowing silver.

Erza was quick to jump being that she evaded the wall of sand that reminded her of a certain sand wizard who was grumbling something about Zane having his magic too. When Erza's feet touched the ground, she tripped and fell onto her face. The crowd was silent at this. Zane chuckled with him saying,"Oh wow Prude Knight. I can't believe that you would do something like that. Makes you look clumsy which is endearing to someone. Am I right Natsu?!".

Natsu's face was bright red because of Erza being in a skirt and tripping. I'll give you a hint at what he saw. It's the same color of snow. Erza looked right at him with her face bright red with anger and embarrassment. A deadly combo. "You'll pay for that." said Erza. "Miss Prude Knight. Are you suggesting that your best friend and the most kind person in Fairy Tail caused you to trip and fall. For shame." said Zane, shaking his head.

Erza glared at him with her saying,"Requip: Sandstorm Empress Armor!". She glowed as she had an interesting armor like the last one. This "armor" is like her Flight Armor isn't really armor but in this dimension, it is. It's a white off the shoulder dress with golden lining, very much like an Arabian dress. Her dress reaches her ankles with her wearing a pair of blue poofy bustle pants or harem pants which isn't what you think. Her stomach is exposed.

She wears a gold necklace around her necklace. She wears gold ,with red lining armor, over her arms and legs. She has her hair in a ponytail, held up by a golden hair band. She wears gold slipper-like shoes. She holds two saber in both hands. The blades are single bladed and curved, golden guards, red sphere in the middle of them, and a black handle. "What kinda of armor is that?" said Lucy with Elfman and Happy shrugging.

Gray turned to a still stunned Natsu with him saying,"Since Ash for Brains has shutdown, I guess I'll tell you about the Sandstorm Empress Armor Lucy. It grants her the ability to counter and attack her enemies with sand.". "Meaning that she could counter Zane's sand." said Lucy. "You said could. What do you mean by that?" said Stella. "It's Zane." said Lucy, earning a nod from Gray and Stella. "So do you know what armor is? I don't think you know." said Zane.

Erza smirked as she said,"I think I'll show you what I can do with this armor.". "It's more like a harem getup I would see on Iris." said Zane. She held her swords in front of them, aiming them right at Zane. All of sudden, sand began to gather around the tip of his blades. Two giant beams of sand went flying toward Zane who aimed his tail at them. He fired an energy beam at the sand with it causing an explosion.

Erza jumped into the air with it hovering in place and the lower half of her body is sand. She threw most sand beams at Zane being that Zane stood there. His hands glowed silver as the sand beams missed their target. "How is he doing that?! My attacks aren't supposed to miss!" thought Erza. As she was trying to figure out what was going on, Zane charged directly at Erza being that he launched his hands toward them.

While flying toward Erza, they turned into giant boxing gloves. Erza ducked the attack but Zane had planned this and aimed his tail at her, firing a giant energy beam from it. Erza turned her entire body into sand, evading his attack completely. Zane looked at Erza being that he was impressed that this armor could grant her some form of intangibility when it comes to attacks but he was also sure that this intangibility had its weakness. He just need it to find it. 

Erza fired two sand blasts at him being Zane easily dodged them by turning flat like paper. Erza was confused by this as she noticed Zane's tail glowing silver and her eyes widened. "That's it!" thought Erza. She had a feeling that this silver glow he was producing is the reason why she was making these mistakes. She landed on the ground with her tripping on nothing. "Oh come on!" shouted Erza as Zane appeared from the ground.

He was going to slam her into the ground using his tail being that she dodged the limb. When the tail collided with the ground, it caused a small tremor. Erza delivered a kick to Zane's chest but like she did before, Zane turned into sand and evaded her attack. Zane reformed a few meters away from her as he looked at Erza and floated in the air. "So have you figured me out Prude Knight? I mean your clumsy moves could have happened by fate." said Zane.

Erza looked at him with her saying,"Yes. Your name makes it obvious what it can do. Your form can manipulate luck itself can't they?". "Yes it can but well, can you defeat Lady Luck or was it Lord Luck? I can't remember." said Zane. Erza made several beams of sand fly toward Zane being that the hero made his right hand turn into a sign that said,"Yikes!". The ground shook while a cloud of dust and rock was thrown up.

Wakaba turned to Macao with him looking smug. "Well Macao old buddy. Looks my girl won against your boy. How about you pay up?" said Wakaba. "No way! Wait until the dust settles and we'll see for ourselves what happens! Zane isn't a loser like Natsu and you are!" said Macao. "Hey! Screw you Macao!" yelled Natsu and Wakaba. "Nah. You're not my type." said Macao. The trio began fighting as Erza landed on the ground.

She looked into the dust cloud, searching for Zane being that she knew that wasn't going to stop him and she couldn't see anything. "I can't see him yet. He isn't done yet." thought Erza. Without any warning, she was hit by several hits to her face and chest. She clutched her side and turned to see Zane standing there in Ram Form, one of Zane's best hand to hand fighters. He grew to eight feet tall and looks like a humanoid goat/ram.

His body was covered in short ,yet very fluffy to the touch, navy blue fur. It covers his entire body except for his chest. The fur covering his chest is gray and fluffy. He has a flat nose, fluffy white beard, and a short fluffy tail. He has thin yet muscular frame with a very toned abdominal. He has two gold curled horns on the sides of his head that point up toward the sky. His feet and hands are hooves with four fingers and a thumb and five hoof toes. They're a black color.

He has two green eyes. He wears a gray karate gi, tied with a black belt and he wears black pants. He has navy blue bands around his waist. "What? You didn't see that coming Prude Knight. Too slow and they call you a great warrior. I think that's a false rumor." said Erza. Before Erza could react to the humanoid goat, she heard a voice,"Permafrost Emperor Subzero Barrage!". She saw Frost Form appear in front of her, exhaling a blizzard onto her.

This caused her to be a giant block of ice with the insect and ram highfiving. "That's a good job there Zone. I guess this is a pretty nice way of making her chill out." said Zane. "You're very welcome." said Zone. The crowd of wizards didn't know the goat form all too well but the other ones they did. Gray smiled as he said,"Zane's best form finally showed up. Took him long enough. Two ice ones to your zero fire ones Natsu.".

Natsu scoffed as he said,"You just got lucky but Zane is just saving Pyre Form for later in the fight since he's so much better than both the ice lizard and the bug.". "Wow. You're looking kinda pathetic aren't you Natsu." said Gray. All of a sudden, the ice that held Erza was shattered as she stood there with her looking at the two. "She's all yours buddy. I mean I could handle her but you got this Prime" said Zone.

He was all gone as Zane saying,"Traitor. Why is that my clone wanted to run from you? I mean you don't even know what armor is.". "This is armor! What do you not understand?" said Erza as she glared at him. "Armor protects you genius. The only armor that I've seen you wear that fits that requirement is none of them! Your armor is made for guys to gawk at rather than fear since you really don't hide that you are in fact a female!" said Zane.     

Erza was quiet as Zane smiled. "Sucker." said Zane. He performed an impressive roadhouse right to her face, sending her flying back. While flying, she changed back into her Black Wing Armor and she caught herself. She aimed her very lethal looking sword at Zane with her saying,"So you tricked me but it won't work again.". "Pretty sure it will since I'm well known for my jokes being that most of them makes people lose their cool." said Zane.

The humanoid ram was soon gone being that Zane stood there in Bone Form which changed since it's last appearance on Fairy Legion being Chapter 13 and this is due to the Zenith Core. Bone Form is still six feet tall. He lost his hedgehog/pig appearance being that he now looked to an a slender, yet muscular armadillo. He has black ,with crimson red streaks, armor that starts on his head and ends at his tail which is still small. He still has sharp white bones protruding from the armor.

His skin is now completely gray with it looking rough and worn out. His nose goes forward and looks like a snout. His eyes are now more normal being that they are still red. His arms and legs are rather long with five sharp, black claws on his hands and feet being that his hands are covered by brown fingerless gloves and his feet are covered by his black boots ,which are light and hyper friction resistant, with a single red strap on them.

He's wearing a black leather jacket alongside dark blue jeans. He's wearing a cowboy like hat on his head with him wearing reinforced shoulder pads with two steels plates and knees pads. He's also still wearing his black t-shirt that has an orange bone in the center of it. On the back of his shell, he has two rocket like engines. "Whenever I come up against an opponent who is stronger than the average mook, I only have a couple of options." said Zane in a southern accent.

He crossed his arms as he said,"But all of them involving bring out my big guns and that big gun is.....". Before he could finish, he was covered in a bright purple light. He grows to 12 feet tall with him keeping his armadillo like appearance. His armor gains molten gold streaks being that his tail is still the same. His sharp white bones slowly changes into a silver color and looking to be made out of steel and really shiny. His skin is still gray and looks rough and worn out.

His eyes and nose looks the same being that over his eyes, he wears a pair of black shades. He wears metal prison like shackles on his ankles and wrists. His arms and legs look the same being that he wears the same clothing except for his shirt which changes. His shirt changes to a red t-shirt with a white crescent moon mark in the center of it. On his back, he now has four rocket like engines. "Bone Prime!" said Zane.

Zane extended his right arm with him throwing several of his steel bones at Erza, being the size of a lance or bisento. Erza was quick to take into the air to avoid the attack but she didn't see the steel pole turning into a puddle. "Hey Prude! Catch!" said Zane. He threw a large one at Erza being that she was ready to slash in half but she was held in place by two steel arms. They were coming from the puddle as Zane clapped.

The giant steel bone slammed into Erza being that it soon trapped in a thick ball of steel which felt onto the ground. The eyes of every Fairy Tail member ,except Zane, bulged open in shock and disbelief. Makarov's eyes widened a bit in interest and surprise. "Okay. I'm sure we all saw that and how he turned the steel into a ball." said Wakaba. "How is that possible?!" said Macao. "Who really knows Macao? Oh by the way. You owe me money Wakaba. So pay up." said Cana. 

Wakaba turned to her with her saying,"Huh?!". "You said that Erza would only have to reeuip four times but she's at number five. You lose. At least Macao thought smart." said Cana. Wakaba slumped his shoulders in disappointment as he began digging into his pockets for money. "So he can control steel that comes out of his body?" said Lucy. "Maybe Lucy. I mean he beats Lugnut. I mean isn't steel stronger than iron?" said Natsu. "I think so." said Happy.

Zane crossed his arms as he said,"And Lucy is right about me. You see. Bone Prime has the ability to control steel and this steel...". Crisis Judgement went off as the sounds of metal being cut and turned to see Erza who had emerged from her steel cocoon. "Oh right. She gets stronger with each slash. Kinda forgot about that." said Zane. "Your new appearance may be confusing but it's ability is remarkable." said Erza. "Thanks but I'm just getting started." said Zane.

He turned into a ball like form with him revving up. He created a large ramp from the ground in front of him and launch himself into the air. His body was covered in flames and went flying toward her as a flaming comet. She was quick to dodge him being that his impact did cause a crater to be formed around Zane. She launched herself toward Zane at a breakneck speed. She let out a roar with her getting ready to slice him.

However, she and her sword was sent flying back by coming in contact with Zane's body. When she landed, her armor and sword were damaged. Erza winced being that Zane got out of a body and looked at her with a smug look. "My shell is pretty hard being that nothing you can do can really hurt me unless you somehow gained the powers of Magnus but I doubt that very hard." said Zane. 

Erza narrowed her eyes at Zane being that she didn't show it but anything she could do, he could do better and then some. "You should give up because I can handle any armor you throw at me. I mean if you give up, your dignity will be in tact. You'll have to go through with what we agreed with though." said Zane. Erza thought over what Zane said and much to her shame, he was right about this. There was no way that she could combat Zane at least this one.

She had a devious idea being that she had a single armor that would take Zane by surprise and shift the tide in her favor. It was a suit that she had yet to try out and saving it for a private purpose aka for Natsu. However against a formidable and varied powerhouse like Zane, she was going to make an exception but Natsu is here so she's technically showing it to him first. Erza's face flushed as Athena said,"What is she doing?". "Ten bucks it's something stupid." said Kane.

Erza looked at Zane with her saying,"Is that so? Lets see.". Her body was shrouded in gold light as Cole said,"By the way Kane, no one is taking that bet.". Erza was in quite the daring maid outfit aka her Seduction Armor. She's wearing a long white apron which was tied behind Erza’s neck and back and worn over her bare chest. This revealing much of her breasts’ sides paired with pink-colored panties exposing much of her buttocks.

She wearing long stockings, reaching up to the middle parts of her thighs. There are no shoes, and Erza’s head is adorned by a maid hat. The only visible armored parts are the gauntlets ,which extend up to the middle parts of Erza’s biceps, where ribbons are tied around her arms, and sport heart-shaped elbow guards. The armor comes equipped with a simple sword. It has a gold-colored blade, a dark yellow guard, a ringed purple hilt and a stud-like pommel.

It bears pink writing on the blade being "Come on Boy" along its fuller. "How about this big boy?" said Erza in a tone that would belong to a woman of the night which is the nice way of saying a ten letter word that starts with p. All of the men present were left dumbstruck and starred right at Erza in a hypnotized manner with drool trailing from their mouths and blood coming out of their nose. The sounds of wolf whistling could be heard from every corner of the crowd.

Vance said,"God damn it! Erza's sexy as hell!". Not even Master Makarov was spare from this outfit power of beauty and seduction. The females of Fairy Tail ,except Sly, were shocked being that their faces paled and their jaws dropped to the ground, making a very loud kaching sound. Their jaws rivaled Brian's jaw dropping to the ground. "Am I seeing this right?" said Lucy with her face white like the Joker. Happy ,who was a cat, was immune to her charm.

Vance would have as well but he liked women mainly human. "Yep. I'm sure that is her Seduction Armor. I thought it was a myth though. So what is everyone doing?" said Happy. Gray was wide eye and stammering incoherently. The sight of the woman that he feared wearing an outfit that would cause a nun to spontaneous combustion made the poor boy spaz out of control. He closed his eyes with him on the ground, twitching like he does when Zane is mad with him.

You may be asking what Natsu is thinking about this since he's very overprotective of her and Erza due to his dragon instincts. He was passed out from blood loss and a very bright red face that was currently steaming a lot. So pure. Sly ,while covering Kaida's eyes, was staring at Erza with her having a shocked and dumbfounded expression on her face. She couldn't look away being that her body was frozen like a statue and eyes locked on her sexy body. Yeah. I wonder why she's doing that.

Erza smirked being that she thought her plan worked since the crowd was being much stunned by her body. She didn't look at Zane to see his expression. Within a second, the woman summoned a large metal mallet and leap at Zane with a battle cry. Zane looked at the charging redhead with him saying with his eyes rolled,"Oh wow. A hammer how original.". He got into a sumo position being that he blocked her hammer.

This did push Zane back five feet being that he focused his gaze on her and glared. "Wow. I didn't know that we were going to playing the appeal card. Low blow and totally out of character for you Prude Knight. I mean you're a prude after all and you're currently dressing like a whore. I mean Sly likes it but I'm on the fence. I mean you're attractive yes but personality, you're not a turn on for me. More like a turn off." said Zane.

In a gold flash, Erza was back in her casual armor being her Heart Kreuz. She held her sword loosely in her left hand and rested her right one on her hip. She grinned ,mischievously, at the armadillo with her saying,"So I have to ask. Did my armor do anything to you?". "It made me question if you were an flasher at any point in your life but if you want to play dirty, I'll play dirty." said Zane with him swapping forms once again.

He turned into Swamp Form with Gray saying,"I wonder why he picked that one.". "At least he's a fire guy despite being walking celery." said Natsu. Zane placed his hands on the ground with him saying,"You're looking too dirty Prude Knight. I think you need to clean up.". Several large vines sprouted from under her feet being that she couldn't slice them away due to the vast amount of them and their durability.

She was thrown into the air by the vines before landing into a giant pile of mud that Zane made a bit earlier during the time Erza's body was getting wrapped in vines. Zane smirked as he saw the girl with her covering in dirt and grime like a pig who just took a mud bath. "So Erza. You really should give up before I make you look pretty silly." said Zane, crossing his arms. Erza grouped her teeth together as she struggled to break free.

The vines were too strong for her to physically break through but cut her way through is another story entirely. "Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!" said Erza. In a second, Zane looked up to see a dozen magical swords and Erza ,who was in the armor, slashed through the vines and freed herself. She flew back to put distance between her and Zane. Zane looked to see that several swords appear were above him and he said,"Okay. I think it's confirmed than you in fact has a sword fetish.".

She had over thirty swords above her and two in her arms. She soared at Zane with the swords that were above her just resting there. Zane threw several seeds at Erza being that Titania evaded the seeds which would have captured in her vines. Erza held out her swords and slashed Zane in an x-shaped pattern. Zane's arms were cut off as he said,"Hey. I didn't cut off your limbs and you shouldn't have cut off my limbs. That's only fair.".

The redheaded woman flew off as she said,"Scattered Petals!". All of a sudden, the thirty swords Erza she summoned earlier glowed silver-white with it heading toward Zane like bullets. Zane was bombarded by the blades, cutting him into multiple pieces that scattered across the ground. A few wizards in the crowd saw this and screamed in horror. "Oh crap! She killed him!" yelled Macao with his eyes.

Wakaba nodded as he said,"Yeah. I mean I was sure that she was going to pummel him in the ground after everything that has happened between the two of them but killing him. That's going too far.". "I think you guys forgot about what Zane does best." said Gray. The two older wizards saw the several chopped up pieces of Zane moved and converge into a pile of plant matter. In a seconds, Zen reformed from that pile and cracked his neck.

Zane nodded as he said,"Wow. I haven't been sliced like that in a long time. I mean I used to test out my sword attacks on my clones but you really went into cutting me into pieces. I think you really don't like me and taking your aggression out on someone isn't healthy. I mean I can heal myself but can someone like Hatchling?". Erza landed several yards in front of Zane being that she knew he could regenerate but not that fast. "I think you're impressive Zane." said Erza.

Zane shrugged as he said,"Thanks for the compliment Prude Knight and FYI, I don't think the same about you.". He threw several seeds toward her but she swiftly jumped into the air, avoiding them. She didn't noticed that her armor had a couple of seeds in them when she was slicing Zane into bite sized pieces. Zane snapped his fingers being that the armored woman was engulfed in a inferno from those seeds that exploded.

Erza flew out of the explosion with her seeing more seeds from Zane heading her way. More blades were summoned out of thin air and launched them to intercept them, causing a series of explosions and vines to hit the ground. Using the smoke cloud between them, Erza slashed her two blades in a delta fashion. "Trinity Sword!" said Erza. A silver-white energy wave took the shape of a triangle and went toward Zane. Zane went into the ground feet first to elude the attack.        

Erza ,still flying, ceased any attack that she planned on doing and scanned the area, keeping a very vigilant eye out for her most talkative opponent. Zane launched himself out of the ground and he said,"I know you love me. You know you do.". He launched a huge amount of fire from his hands and she was quick to defend herself with her blades. Upon doing this, Zane punched the blades and sent her crashing to the ground. Seizing the opportunity, Zane turned into Phoenix Form.

He flew into the air, becoming orange, red, and yellow ,with a tint of blue, fire. He threw two fireballs at her. With her highly trained reflexes, she shook off the punch from earlier and dodged the fireballs within second. She leaped right into the air and flew at Zane with two of her Black Wing Armor's blade. Zane let her get close and when she got close to him, he threw a giant fireball at her. She deflected it with her swords, sending it to the ground. 

Zane flew toward her at blinding speed and before she could figure out what his plan was, the bird like creature grabbed her and launched her into the air. When they were at least five hundred feet high in the air, Zane began spinning her body and threw Erza higher into the air. As Titania careened back at a breakneck speed and trying to gain control, Zane released two fireballs from his hands and a sonic scream from his mouth.

The three attacks converged with the two fireballs forming one massive one and the sonic scream disoriented her just as the fireballs slammed into her. This sent her flying further with a smoke trail in her wake. The wizards below all looked up to watch the aerial battle between the Guild's undoubtedly two strongest members. They seem to be forgetting about Laxus, the mask wearing coward, and the rip off but they're usually not around especially the rip off. 

I'll be calling Gildarts a rip off ,which he is because he shares a lot with Shanks, until I come up with a nickname. When Erza was stuck by the triple combo of fireballs and sonic scream, Lucy said,"That looked painful.". "Yeah. I'm kinda happy that I'm not fighting him right now." said Stella. Despite the force of the blow and pain earned, Erza recovered and gained control. She shot her body down toward Zane, flying at incredible speed.

The scarlet haired wizard held out her two swords and she slashed toward Zane in an arc pattern twice. "Moon Flash! Moon Flash!" said Erza. Two powerful silver waves fired from her blades and collided with Zane. The fiery bird went crashing into the ground with a good amount of force and this covered the air in a giant explosion of fire in the process. "Yeah. Really not happy I'm fighting her right now." said Gray, earning a nod from Lucy and Stella.

Erza was hovering above the fire with her swords at the ready being that her senses were on alert for anything Zane had for her. However, she felt her body getting heavy. She cried out in shock as a very strong force pulled against her and slammed her into the ground. She felt her body get light and she began floating high. Erza tried fighting against this strange force overwhelming her but she couldn't whatsoever.

As she got up to a height of two hundred feet, her body was heavy once again. The scarlet haired beauty plummeted back down at an incredible speed and slammed into the ground, creating a small tremor that the watching wizard were effected by it. A cloud of dust was thrown up and Erza weakly opened her eyes inside of her hollow crater. The pain coursed through her body was agonizing but she fought through it and get back up.

She remember one of Zane's forms fondly when Elfman turned into it a few days ago. A heavy object landed in front of her with a distinct thud. As the dust settled, something stood there as none of the Fairy Tail wizards knew who it was. Sly knew who it was being that it was Equinox Form. He looked twelve feet tall. His body is separated into six different parts. These six parts are his two arms, his chest, his head, and two legs. All of them are connected using his own personal gravity.

His skin is silver and rock like with black and white ,split down the middle, crystals protruding from various body.  His face is bone like with four glowing gold eyes. His arms, chest, head, and legs have several gray lines, looking like he was cracked. The left side of his chest has a black crescent moon symbol and the right side of his chest has a white sun symbol that glow gold. He has five claws on his hands and feet.

They're made out of the same black and white crystals that protrude from his body. For his clothing, he wears a black top ,with a gray stripe, over his chest. He wears black pants ,with a gray stripe, over his legs. He's wearing his signature black robe. "Prude of Knights. I'm sure you remember how Elfman can manipulate the powerful aspect of gravity but it isn't my only form who can do that power. I can do it as well." said Zane in a British gentleman accent.

Erza's eyes widened being that she saw Elfman haphazardly using Gravity Form and if this form had the same ability as Gravity Form with complete control, this was going to be difficult. Zane stretched out his hands as Erza felt herself become light again, floating in the air like she was in space. "I'm quite sure that you don't have motion sickness like your boytoy but I'm sure you can't handle the human centrifuge." said Zane.

Before she could do anything, Titania yelped ,just like she did in Chapter 17, as she began spinning in a circle with her speed increasing rapidly. She was nothing more than a blur of red in the air. "So why is he spinning her? He's sure that she doesn't have motion sickness like Natsu." said Lucy. "Or he's trying to make her dizzy. I mean no normal people can take being spun around real fast for a very long time." said Happy. "That's a fair point." said Vance.

Erza grounded her teeth with her trying to fight against the pull being that this gravity was too much for her. She was getting lightheaded being that her vision were getting blurry. If she didn't anything about it, she would pass out. She had an idea. "Requip: Giant Armor!" said Erza being that her body was adorned in her Giant Armor. Zane looked at her with him saying,"So what are you going to do now Prude Knight?". He turned into light as he evaded Giant Armor's weapon.

It's an extravagant spear that has been said to be able to repel darkness. Don't know how that works being that I call it a giant flashlight. This is due to a flashlight doing the same thing. The steel blade adorns a golden embellishment in its center and is ornamented by a red decoration reminiscent of ribbons which flow down and attaches to both sides of the pole wherein the ends releases a rocket-like blast which adds lift to the spear.

The rear of the pole features a substantially thick golden stud with a flat silver surface which may be used to shift it's equilibrium by adding force to the stud's surface and in turn adding momentum to an assault. This move made him lose his concentration for a second as Erza landed on the ground with a loud thud. She made her spear came back to her left hand as Zane reappeared. "Okay. I remember this armor from the report. It's heavy and don't say it Cole." said Twilight.

Cole said,"What?! I didn't say anything!". "We've been together for a long time and you were going to spell a word wrong because of that meme with the word which is a synonym for husky. Why is so hard to spell that word? It's five letters!" said Athena. She isn't a fan. Erza spun the long spear above her head ,with Cole thinking that she was going to fly like a helicopter, a few times to gain momentum before crouching low and launched herself at Zane like a mission.

Zane shrugged as he made two blades of light come out of his body. He rushed toward her being that in the middle of the run, he increased the gravity around Erza increase seven times. This gravity pulled her down with a five foot deep hole was forged as her armored feet collided hard with the ground. Zane was above the way with him floating above her. Zane focused on apply force against Erza, causing her to groan in discomfort.

Eventually, she fell to her hands and knees for the incredible force pushing against her. The ground around her was cracking and cave inward. "You should give up Prude Knight. Gravity is kinda hard to beat since all of us are effected by it even myself." said Zane. The redhead woman gritted her teeth being that her face screamed determined. She put more magic into her legs being that she slowly stood up with Zane's eyes blinking. "You were saying?" said Erza.

Lucy's eyes widened as she said,"She's standing up?!". "I think she's using her armor to fight against gravity. Would it be that she's defying gravity?" said Laki. "Kinda and that's a good song Laki. I think you should hear it." said Zane. Erza ,the Titania of Fairy Tail, cocked her spear to its highest point and hurled it straight toward Zane. "I can't revealed my magnetism. I need to save it for the finale." thought Zane.

He floated away from it being that the gravity around Erza slightly decreased to about double. Erza broke through the weakened gravity field and jump toward Zane, kicking him in the face. Zane went back and he slammed onto the ground going back a few feet. Some of his crystals were cracked upon hitting the ground but like all other damage he received, it was slowly healing itself. While Zane was healing himself, Erza brought the spear back to her.

She leapt right at Zane once against being that she lifted her weapon over her head to strike at him in the cent. "Darkness doesn't work on that overgrown stick so lets try light!" thought Zane. He made a solid bubble of light, blocking her attack somehow. "You guys see the giant bubble of light right? Or is that just me?" said Jet. "Yeah. Equinox Form is pretty strong. Zane must be serious to use a form like this one." said Levy, noticing how intense both of them were.

She jumped up to hit him but it was blocked by another bubble. She turned her body and jabbed the base of her spear into his face, causing him to groan. "Again with the face! I know you hate my comments but take it out on something else! This is one of my fans's most favorite feature." said Zane. Erza cried out as she spun her body once again but this time, she hit Zane in the right leg with the long spear. The strength behind the attack made Zane slide along the ground.

Zane glared at Erza being that even though he was stronger than the average person by a lot, he didn't like pain. He liked dealing it during training but that's for his sadism. Erza charged at him with her jumping high in the air and her spear was held high over her head. "And that's enough of you jump like a god damn rabbit!" said Zane. He increased the gravity around her being that the knight felt a good ton of weight added to her, causing her to crash into the ground very hard.

Some of the wizards winced at the impact. "That didn't look nice at all." said Elfman. Zane slowly got back up with his leg wound healing and was going to bring back the human centrifuge but he saw another glow from her. She was back in her Flight Armor being that she began moving at absurd speeds like she did earlier in their fight. Crisis Judgement went off as he turned into darkness with him evading her twin blades.

Her twin blades are a pair of shortswords with elaborate handguards similar to a rapier's shaped like rose's thorns. The attack would have slashed his arms, chest, and face so he wasn't going to have that happen again. Zane reappeared a few meters away from him being that she knew that right now, she was fast. "I don't need to switch forms because this form ain't a slouch when it comes to speed plus I don't want to overwork Swift Form." said Zane.

In a blue, Zane zoomed forward and landed a powerful kick into Erza's waist. "This is what happens when your armor doesn't cover yourself Prude Knight!" said Zane. The speed and strength behind the blow sent the armor-wearing woman back to the other side of the training ground. Like before, the Fairy Tail wizards winced at the hit Zane gave Erza. Erza grunted whenever her body hitting the ground again.

After stopping, she rubbed the spot where Zane kicked her as she got back on her feet. She glared hard at Zane being that Zane only smiled upon seeing it. "Come on!" said Zane. She growled as she returned her blades back to her pocket dimension. If Zane wanted to fight hand to hand or as Elfman sometimes call it man to man despite her not being a man, he was going to get a lesson. She shot herself toward Zane like a missile and Zane followed suit.

When the two collided with each other, a loud bam and a small shockwave came out of it. To the shock and awe of the Fairy Tail Wizards, Erza and Zane were fighting hand to hand at insane speeds that the human eye couldn't register. In the middle of the fight, the superhero and Titania were trying to punch, kick, and jab the other but their attacks were blocked and parried by blows of equal speed and strength.

At a moment later in the intense, speedy one on one brawl, Erza threw a left hook which was blocked by Zane's right arm. She spotted an opening and kneed the rocky form in the chest very hard. Erza jumped into the air ,spinning her body a full 360 degrees, and delivered a powerful kick to Zane's face once again. Zane went back a good couple of feet before coming to a stop. He brought up his head and glared at Erza.

He smiled being that this fight was finally getting interesting for once. He recovered fast being that he launched himself forward, leaving a trail of dust in his wake. Erza bent her knees and blasted forward as well. Just as the two were about to collide, Zane made a giant ball of light and blinded by the light. Out of nowhere, the armor wearing woman ran right into a two-armed clothesline by a fusion of Brawn Form and Diamond Form.

He’s twelve feet tall with him having a colossal and hulking warrior figure. He looks to be made out of crimson red diamonds with four large arms. He has four diamond like pillars coming out of his shoulders. His diamond like body has several black lines with them glowing molten gold upon gathering energy. He has two crystal dragon like wings coming out of his back. He wears a steel gray dragon like helmet.

It still has elements of an Barbuta, Great Helm, and Greek Corinthian Helmet in one and still exposed his four glowing red eyes that stick out. He wears a black short sleeved top ,with six steel gray segments across his abs and white sleeves, that covered his chest and silver metal neck guard. He wore this with black and white pants with a gold belt that looks to be a mixture of a wrestling championship belt and sash. He’s wearing black combat boots.

His outfit is covered in symbols or markings of gray crystals. He wears steel gray greaves that cover his shins, silver steel large pauldrons that covers his shoulders, and vambraces that cover his arms. He wears silver steel fingerless gauntlets that works as shields with shiny steel studs. He has four human like hands with fingers and gray nails. He has a burning black flame tattoo on his shoulders. He wears the short black robe.

Zane grabbed her up and threw her into the ground so hard that she made a small trench that stretched for at least twenty plus years before coming to a stop. Lucy gasped being that she was startled by the amount of force that Erza was thrown into the ground with. "Wow! They're really into this fight! I rather not piss him off." said Lucy. "Aye!" said a cheerful Happy. "This is a totally awesome fight right Luce?" said Natsu with a bright smile on his face.

Lucy looked scared as she said,"I think we have a different definition of awesome.". Erza clench her teeth and suppressed a groan. Pain was flowing through her body in waves being that she sat from the trench. Her arms shaking and having trouble holding her up. Erza's body was covered in a triple combo of bruises, cuts, and dirt with her Flight "Armor"" was tattered in places. The sound of yell caught her attention.

She looked up to see Zane descending toward her with all four arms reared back. In spite of the pain she felt, Erza dove her way out of the trench just as Zane slammed his forearms onto the ground. It made a loud smash and covered the area in crimson red diamonds. Zane leapt at Erza again being that she sprinted in a zigzag pattern to avoid his attacks. Finally having enough of this game of prey and predator, Zane pulled back all four arms as far as they could go.

He brought them together, creating a powerful clap with a wave of diamonds toward her from all sides. This attack caused Erza to be knocked all the way back across the training grounds. Elfman's mouth dropped a little with him screaming shock before turning into excitement. "Oh yeah! This is so freaking manly!" yelled Elfman. Zane jumped toward where Erza was shakily standing up and was going to trapped her in diamonds before she could escape.

However, there was a gold flash coming from her and Crisis Judgement went off. Zane made a barrier of crimson red diamonds, blocking himself from getting bombarded with glowing swords. The blades shattered to pieces against the tough diamonds. As the barrage of swords stopped, Zane looked right through the cracks in his barrier and saw Erza back in her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Zane may have his many problems with her like a lot but the determination in her eyes spoke to him.

It was the same determination that he had being that she wasn't going to give up despite the odds going against her. He admired that spirit because he had it but losing this fight wasn't going to happen whatsoever. As Erza floated in the air, two dozen magic swords appeared beside her. "Dance my blades! Circle Sword!" said Erza as the blades orbited her. The diamond barrier around Zane was assaulted by the swords being that a heavy amount of dirt was thrown up.

Zane left the pretty much destroyed barrier in the dust covered air. being that he looked around to see that he was a sitting duck made out of diamonds and muscle. Without warning, Erza soared through the dusk cloud and slashed her twin blades against Zane's chest in an x-shaped pattern. Zane winced a bit from the contact with him hearing,"Scattered Petals!". Zane was assaulted by barrage of three dozen swords slammed into his body.

They did shattered upon contact with his body but he was pushed back before landing on the ground and on his back. His back spikes were in the ground with him saying,"And I'm sure you're not mad about being thrown around like a baseball.". He stood back up with him noticing the over a dozen swords flying toward him. He made a crystal baseball glove appear in front of him, catching the swords and piercing the glove.

Erza was flying at him, firing more and more swords at Zane being that Zane was on the defensive as he made several crystal constructs of different things such as a giant bowl and a mouth. Some of them did manage to sneak past of his crystals and pierce his body. Zane removed them as he looked down to see the holes in his body. "I can't keep doing this. I could use my gravity manipulations form but she has a way to counter them." thought Zane.

He clapped, making a shockwave and sent a couple of swords away from him. "She may proclaim to be strong but I'm still holding back against her. If I went all out, I could seriously injure her or kill her with the latter option being too annoying to deal with. I'm also getting annoyed of her swords and her constant armor switching. I guess this is what others feel when I switch forms constantly. Time to end this using her strength against her!" thought Zane.

He deactivated the fusion with him jumping back. The crystal constructs were all destroyed being that Zane said,"Okay. Activate Code 22-110-Z. Password: Victory!". He finished saying this just as Erza fired another barrage of swords at him. The swords impacted the ground, causing a dust cloud to cover Zane. "So what happened?! Is he okay?!" said Bisca. "He's fine. Erza just lost." said Sly as she heard Zane before the dusk cloud.

Inside of the dust cloud, Zane's watch had something happen. The black and round faceplate ,with a steel gray band/dial switch around the faceplate, has its faceplate changing. Normally, it’s molten gold stripes ,which forms an “LZ” outline, glows. From the watch, steel gray energy comes out of it and covers his body within seconds. The dust cloud was gone as steel gray energy appeared as it blinded the wizards.

The energy leaves soon as it appears, revealing that Zane is now in a form-fitting, black and steel gray armored jumpsuit that isn't too tight on him but it does hug his muscular figure quite well. His suit is mostly black being that around the suit’s neck area, shoulder area, and the lower leg area is steel gray. His chest and stomach area is covered in steel gray armor. It’s segmented into eight sections.

Two large chest plates and six smaller, more angled plates on his stomach with the smaller plates working as a six pack. In the center of his armored chest, there is is a molten gold stylized “LZ” insignia. It looks to be metallic but it’s actually silk. It’s the exact same symbol that appears in his Zeta Costume but it cannot activate Hyperion Mail upon contact. He’s wearing his Z.E.R.O. Armor belt.

For footwear, he's an armored version of his Zeta Costume’s boots aka black combat boots with gold piping, silver titanium mesh straps, and steel soles but now goes up to his shins, and his Legionnaire Gauntlets. His head is covered with a retractable steel gray helmet/mask. It's very much like the helmet/mask that he wears in Hyperion Mail being that it also has a dragon like appearance. Its eyepieces are different though.

He has molten gold eyes ,with a black outline, with diamond-shaped jewels on the places where his eyes would be. When his helmet goes down, pressurized steam comes out and exposes his face. The helmet retracts back into the collar part of his armor. It's his angular, handsome appearance except his eye and hair can be different. It's ash gray/ash blond hair and steel gray eyes just in case but he can keep his normal eye and hair color.

The wizards of Fairy Tail eyed Zane peculiarly as Zane poised heroically. "Time for a good fashioned beatdown by Omni Mode!" said Zane. They were unable to tell if it was one of Zane's forms or like Avenger being that some of them went back in fear. Erza eyed Zane with a raised brow. It didn't look he had gained or lost strength but she withheld judgement for the moment being that underestimating Zane would be a big mistake. By Jove, I think she's got it.

Erza put her hands on her hips as she said,"Zane. May I ask what you doing? Are you in one of your forms or techniques?". "A little bit of A and B. I hope you're ready to lose since I've ready to win our little spar. Time to make you learn your place!" said Zane. Erza scoffed at this. "Forgive me but that's unlikely. I've seen you turn into multiple forms and unlike you, I'm not holding back on you!" said Erza with Zane looking up to see a few dozen swords around her.

With a fearsome cry, Erza launched the swords at Zane being that everyone watched Zane do nothing at all. He wasn't even trying to mock her in fashion being that he was just standing there. He's gonna do something! And you know it's going to be good. Zane smiled as his left hand glowed silver and his right hand had a crimson red glow around it. Suddenly without warning, the swords that Erza either did one of two things.

They either crashed into the ground around Zane or were moved to crash into another. Erza's eyes widened exponentially as her mouth gaped a little. No one was able to stop her swords like that. The wizards were watching the fight were just as stunned by the spectacle as Erza was. "How. How did you stop my swords?" said Erza. "What can I say Prude Knight? I got better luck then you and a polarizing personality." said Zane, smiling under the mask.

Zane's right hand began emitting reddish white magnetic fields/pulses as Erza was being pulled toward Zane by some kind of unknown force. "I know you and me get along like two North poles of a magnet but I think we should become closer. Don't you agree?" said Zane. As she reached ten yards of him, she was slammed hard into the ground a couple of time being that her body was slowly forming a shallow crater.

He brought her up into the air in front of him being that her skin was bruised and cut in places with the armor having more than its fair share of dings in it. "So do you feel bad about this in any regard whatsoever?" said Lucifer. "I think a little bit but his sympathy is long gone when he's serious in a fight." said Twilight. "It's her fault to be fair. She challenged him to a fight and made him get somewhat serious." said Sivarth.

Twilight nodded being that Zane said,"And here's your fatal flaw! Your reliance on your armor and weapons is holding you back Prude Knight!". Erza's eyes widened being that despite being held in place by the magnetic force, she could still move her right arm a bit. She made a sword appear with it belonging to her Flame Empress Armor. She engulfed the ground below her in flames and make a circle of fire, cover her in an orb of flames.

This increased fire caused Zane to release his magnetic grip on her and she fell onto the ground. "You seriously think you can defeat me?" said Zane's voice. Before she could do anything, she saw Zane douse the flames thanks to air coming from ten opening in his chest with them forming a Z shape. "If you can defeat me within five minutes, I won't use my full power on you." said Zane as his chest went back to normal.

Erza looked right at Zane being that she flew back, making a wheel of swords circle around her. "So is there a reason you're giving her a fighting chance?" said Cole. "Honestly, I'm just bored and I need to kill time." said Zane. He made Forsaken Dirge appear in his hands and the two rush at each other like they have several times before. Erza slashed in an arc which Zane easily phased through and he attempted an upward slash with his blade.

Erza intercepted by angling her other sword, clashing with Forsaken Dirge. Zane took a few steps back and lunged forward with his sword, swiping in front of him. Erza did a double-sword cross and blocked the attack. Zane went back and leaped into the air, preparing to slam the blade down with Erza blocking it with her two swords in front of a cross to defend herself. She knew that this sword's full potential wasn't be used by these basic attacks.

Zane twisted his body and went into a crouch position. "Lethal Strike!" said Zane. He jumped toward his opponent and slashed her with his sword. She tried blocking it with both of her blades. The force behind the attack and the two swords were knocked away, breaking it. Every guild member's jaw once again dropped as Erza's swordsmanship was on par with Zane's swordsmanship. Zane moved back with Erza flying upwards.

She made two more swords appear in place of the ones that just broke. She smiled at Zane being that she said,"You may be an impressive opponent but in swordsmanship, you aren't half bad.". "Half bad? I think defeating some of the best swordsman and swordswoman in the Omniverse makes me one of the best in my opinion. Now come on. You're running out of time." said Zane, taunting her with the come here gesture. The swords around Erza began to dance with it making a tower.

The blades were rotating blades clockwise, counterclockwise, and clockwise on the upper part. It did block his view of her but he could still see her thanks to her being a normal human. This was due to his eyes matching Vampire Form but that wasn't noticeable due to his helmet covering his head. Zane knew that he could survive being cut by her tower of swords. Zane readied his sword with him slashing two sideways angle with him slicing from the bottom of the tower to the top.

Zane's combo of slashes destroyed the tower of swords with Zane phasing through the sword construct being she was gone being that Crisis Judgement went off. Zane turned to see that the tower of swords aim themselves at Zane being that there was a lot of sharp and pointed edges aimed right at him. They instantly rain down upon him being that Zane was slashed by the swords and he went right toward the ground, making a dust cloud.

The swords return back to their mistress being that they were in a full circle around Erza just waiting for their next order. "Do you give up Zane? You may be very strong but like you've told me and the others, everyone has a weakness. You should have defeated me when you had the chance." said Erza as Zane stood back up. He was going to strike her once again with him aiming his sword at her and he fired several energy stars forming constellations.

Erza easily sliced through them being that she was flying toward him and in a delta formation. "I need to stop her right now and I got the perfect thing! Cloud!" thought Zane. A cloud appeared around Zane being that it covered his entire body in the cloud, protecting him as Erza slashed her delta formation at him. "Trinity Sword!" said Erza. She slashed the cloud being that instead of hitting Zane, she hit nothing.

The cloud was gone being that she looked around for Zane being that she pointed all of her swords at him. "I know you're here Zane. Come out and play." said Erza. "Um. You know that you sound like a serial killer right and I don't mean the breakfast variety." said Zane's voice. He reappeared with his left arm looking much bigger than normal. "Monstrous Hammer!" yelled Zane. He swung his massive fist at her being that Erza blocked it with her swords.

Neither opponent showed any damage with Zane looked up to see swords heading toward him as he said,"Kinda wished you used hammers or really any other weapon because honestly Prude Knight, I'm getting sick of swords.". "Blumenblatt!" said Erza. The barrage of swords slashed Zane being that he fell onto the ground with his body bleeding candy syrup. He slowly stood back up as Juvia ,from her secret hiding spot, saw that Zane's body was bleeding but repairing itself at the same time.

She was reminded of their fight being that it was like her Water Magic but sweeter. Erza looked at Zane being that she was sure that Zane was going to keep on holding back so she had to increase the pressure on him. "Sorry to do this Prude Knight but you're not worthy of my true power! None of you are! Do you understand?! Second Place was nothing but a weakling who got lucky and don't even get me started on the Crybaby." said Zane.

His body healed with him saying,"You may be the strongest woman in Fairy Tail being that I'll admit that since I haven't seen Mira fight yet. Stella and you haven't fought yet so you two should fight soon so we can get a define answer on that. You also can't forget about Lynn. Laxus says the coward let her die so I don't know how strong she was but Laxus respected her so I guess she's not half bad.". Erza was silent being that the topic of Lynn was a hard one to deal with.

She left the guild to take care of a magic disease that not even Porlyusica could heal. It was right before the S-Class trial of that year and before Lisanna's death. She was sent to the Bureau of Magical Development. However, she was declared dead by the Magic Council a few weeks after she left and Laxus didn't take it too well. Erza flew toward Zane being that she stopped when she was twenty feet away from Zane.

Zane held his sword and watched her in a defensive manner. Despite her injuries, she was still able to summon almost fifty swords. She made the blades dance around her being they formed a large circle around Zane. They were moving at high speeds being Zane closed his eyes. He uses his heightened senses to see a shadow of Erza heading in a particular direction and a blast of swords. Zane jumped over them with him blocked most of them with his sword.

He saw the shadow heading toward him in another direction being that Zane easily sense the swords heading toward him. "Go away." said Zane. He slashed the air so hard, creating a pocket of air and this deflect the swords all at once. "Wow! Zane is so cool right now!" yelled Lucy. "I'm better Luce." mumbled Natsu. "Don't be jealous of her Hatchling. She respects him but loves you." whispered Stella as Natsu blushed after hearing that.

Zane knew that the shadow of Erza was going to appear and reappear in another direction, him dodging swords and got rid of the ones that got close to him. He need to do something before time runs out on Erza. He wanted to see what she could do under serious pressure and this wasn't going to work any time soon. Zane learned a very important lesson when he was learning how to use his powers by Rico of all people.

In life, you shouldn't focus on the big picture but the smaller pictures. If you only focus what's on you, you'll lose sight of what's truly important. The target was Erza but the swords were in the way of him getting her. Zane removed his helmet, showing his ash gray/ash blond hair and steel gray eyes. It was a shock to everyone to see that Zane's eyes were closed including Erza. "So what is he doing? I mean his eyes are closed!" said Vance. "Don't doubt Zane. He has a plan." said Gray.

Zane was moving from side to side as the swords were heading toward him. Zane relaxed and took focus on defeating Erza. He took each blow, counting up to five. He felt pain as the swords stabbed him and was going to find her no matter what. He opened his eyes being that he found her. "I found you Prude Knight!" said Zane as his helmet went over his head. He went forward being that with each step, swords went toward him.

He blocked each magical swords with his blade being that they were knocked out of the way and landed in the ground. Zane didn't slow down being that with each step, he easily knocked away any sword that came near him. He jumped right into the barrier of swords shocking the entire guild. "Is he trying to get himself cut into bite size pieces?" said Cana. "Papa! You got this!" yelled Kaida with her cheering the loudest she could for him.

Inside of the barrier, Zane was intangible as the swords passed right through with relative ease. He returned his sword back to his personal pocket dimension with his arms matching Dancer Form aka shaped like tonfas with extendable green broadsword blades from the back of it. His arms were covered in Vulcan Emperor. He slashed Erza's swords with full speed and strength being that the swords barrier was destroyed and every sword was destroyed.

Everyone there ,including Erza, was beyond surprised by this being that she didn't expect him to get her like this. Zane leaped into the air being that he was directly under the sun's ray. Erza was still caught off guard due to her barrier being destroyed like that. His back had Diamond Form's crystal protruding from them as they were absorbing solar energy. "Take this!" said Zane. He fired a beam of solar energy at Erza, causing her to scream out in pain.

She was sent crashing right into the ground, causing an explosion of pain and dust. Parts of her armor were shattered mainly the feather lobes on her head band, parts of her wings, and her skirt were torn a bit. Erza stood back up as she felt the attack for sure. "Zane is actually doing it. He's beating Erza! I knew he could do it!" said Lucy, cheering for Zane. Erza turned back and flew toward Zane being that Zane turned around and smiled underneath his helmet.

He flew into the air, evading Erza as she tried to charge at him and slash him down. She stopped and turned to see Zane throwing a Zenith ,made out of solar energy, Sphere at her. She turned around and slashed at it, cutting in half but it exploded behind her. She made her swords ,that made the sword barrier, appear and held them. She landed and watched as they began spinning again. "Seriously? Is there nothing different you can do?" said Zane.

Erza ignored him as she said with her blades rotating around her in a wheel and pointing them right at Zane,"Dance my Swords! Circle Sword!". She focused all of the blades on Zane being that he just stood there. Zane looked at the blades heading toward him as his body began making several copies of his arms come out and grabbed the swords. Zane threw the swords away from the duo being that Zane cracked his many knuckles.

Erza lunched at Zane with two swords at the ready. She was heading toward him being that everyone was excited and ready for this fight to be finished. "Trinity Sword!" said Erza as she held a single sharp sword ,being the one from Black Wing Armor, that was ready to strike Zane. Zane stood there with him sharpening his eyes more and waited for Erza to get close to him. "Sweet Spike!" said Zane as his hands were covered in spikes.

Erza's sword and Zane's hands clashed being that Zane easily held back the spell being that he was waiting for the right moment to inflict his finale. Zane pushed her back, sending her back a bit being that Erza was stunned by this. "Even after everything I done, I wasn't even close to defeating him whatsoever!" thought Erza. Before she could charge at Zane, she felt her body getting covered in candy syrup.

She looked down to see that her arms, legs, and stomach was bound in crucifixes made out of candy syrup and turned to see large snake like dragon arising from the ground. "Oh. This old thing is my signature Sweet Arena. I put this in place when we started and now for the finale!" said Zane. Zane's hands were both emitting the reddish white magnetic fields/pulses. Erza began screaming as parts of her Heaven's Wheel armor was being ripped off.

This was the metal, wings on her back, plates on her skirts, boots, and gauntlets. This included the thin, feather-shaped breastplate, causing Erza's eyes to widened in horror. "Oh don't give me that. We just saw you trying to seduce me and the others Ms. Knight and honestly woman to Eazairvian, you're just bones to me. Now if this was my girlfriend, I would hold back but you're not her plus the no-no parts are covered by the candy syrup." said Zane.

Parts of the breastplate was removed as Natsu was out cold on the ground due to him seeing her breasts more than normal in that armor. Zane made the metal parts of her armor and all of the broken swords around the battlefield into a metal ball above her. He released a stream of his signature flames out of his mouth like a dragon. He release a stream of water shortly after being that there was now a giant silver marble ball.

Erza's eyes widened when she realized what he was doing with all of the metal. Before she could do anything about it, Zane threw the ball like a bowling ball. "Strike!" said Zane. The ball slammed into her and broke her out of the candy syrup crucifix. She was on the ground being that the earth shook from the impact as a cloud of dust was thrown up. The Fairy Tail wizards starred in both anxiety and anticipation being that all of them were wondering what happened.

As the dust settled, Zane held the metal ball and began eating it. "Yep. This is some good metal and I really need some metal in my diet. I mean I've eaten how many bowls of ramen since I've been in this dimension." said Zane. He threw the eaten ball to the side being most of them gasped with others stood petrified including Natsu. He was about to run over being that he saw an unconscious Erza being held in the air by Zane's telekinesis.

Zane removed his helmet and he said,"Natsu. She'll be fine. Trust me. I may have injured her but she needed to learn this lesson. Her reliance on her armor will hold her back being that I'm sure that she'll be nothing more than weak until she does.". He placed her on the ground with him saying,"Hey you old coward! Announce me as the winner already! You're not getting any younger plus Erza needs a doctor who isn't me. I'm on medical leave as of now.".

Makarov slowly nodded as he said with his hand raised for Zane,"The fight is over! Zane is the winner once again!". For a moment, everyone was quiet and in shock. Despite that one of them was going out and the other wasn't, Titania ,the sixth strongest wizard in Fairy Tail and this number comes from Chapter 18, Erza was defeated. After this clear fact sunk in, they began clapping in a thunderous applause for him like they did when he defeated Jose and Natsu twice.

Even the ones who bet on Erza and lost a good amount of money, they still cheered for Zane and his well-earned win. Two wizards were another story. "I still can't believe. Erza lost." said Natsu with his expression screamed complete shock. "Yes! You did it Zane! Way to go man!" said Gray, with him clapping the loudest for him even more than Kaida. "And while I'll be concerned about Zane's man crush on him, you'll probably think about twice about challenge Zane right Natsu." said Lucy.

Natsu was quiet as Happy cried. "Why?! You should have lost Zane. I lost a lot of money! Think of all of the fish I could have bought!" said Happy, punching the ground. "That's just sad. I mean you really should eat some other food before you start smelling like fish." said Vance. "I can't believe that our queen of the fairies lost to him." said Wakaba as his pipe dropped onto the ground. "Yeah. Really happy I bet on him." said Macao.

Elfman proudly smirked and crossed his arms over his muscular chest. "Now that's a real man right there!" yelled Elfman. "And he's my man!" squealed Juvia. Some of the wizards turned toward her direction as Juvia hide within the nearby river. "And he just earned me a but load of drinking money so you're the best drinking partner I could have!" said Cana, jumping in excitement. "Yeah. He's really the best." said Mira, smiling at him.

Natsu slowly walked up to Zane who was standing there. He was currently talking to Kaida who gave him a good job hug. "Zane. While I may be really mad at you for beating Erza but I have an idea how you can make it up to me! Me and you! Round three!" said Natsu, fists flaming. Before he could do anything, Zane's eyes glowed. Natsu's flames were gone as he sat on the ground with him sitting criss cross applesauce. "Um how did you do that papa?" said Kaida.

Zane turned to her as his eyes stopped glowing. "Remember how Fanboy was Camouflage Form the other day? The form has the ability to hypnotize people and that's why Natsu sitting on the floor like that." said Zane. "Ah. So did you tell that to him?" said Kaida. Zane looked at her with her saying,"I think I just asked a stupid question didn't I?". "You did but unlike these numbskulls excluding Levy and some others, you're too cute to be mad at." said Zane.

Kaida nodded as she heard Erza groaning. "She's waking up papa." said Kaida. "Oh right. Better get that ready just in case." said Zane. "In case for what?" said Kaida. "You'll see and don't be too shock about what's going to happen to a poor unfortunate soul." said Zane. Erza's eyes fluttered open as her vision was blurry being that she saw a pink figure standing by her. When her eyes readjusted, she could see Natsu looking down at her.

Kaida and Zane were nearby as Zane decided to let Natsu do this since if he did this, something bad was going to happen to him. The dragon slayer held out his left hand, offering to help her up. As her dazed state passed, Erza reached out and grabbed his hand. This allowed Natsu to pull her back to her feet. Her knees almost buckled but Natsu steadied her and kept her from collapsing back to the ground with her back in her Heart Kreuz armor.   

Natsu turned to her with him saying,"Are you okay Erza? Did Zane go overboard? If he did, I'll kick his ass for you!". Erza turned to look at him hard with a frown, her left eye concealed by her hair. The pink haired wizard knew that he really liked her scarlet red hair. "I'll be fine Natsu but thanks for worrying." said Erza with a smile. "If you want, Zane will heal you without question. I mean he has that weird form that can heal people. He did that for Macao." said Natsu.

Before Erza could sat anything, Natsu was stopped from talking thanks to a glare from Zane. "Natsu. I'm sure you're well aware that I don't do things for free and you're not a close friend yet. Plus I still got enough steam to kick you ass in front of your ladies." said Zane. "Ladies? What is he talking about Natsu?" said Erza. "Um nothing!" said Natsu, looking away from her. "Oh come on. I'm talking about your guns." said Zane. "Right! Obviously!" said Natsu.

Erza and Kaida looked at Zane with the two thinking,"He's lying.". The power of women's intuition is something fierce. "Congrats on winning Zane. I'll admit that I've never been in a fight like that before in my life." said Erza. "I should say that you did a good job and see how you earned the title of Fairy Queen or Titania but honestly, you don't. I mean it may have looked like you had me on the rope but nope, you're a weak fighter and I'll be getting on your bad side constantly from now on." said Zane. 

Erza and Natsu looked at him as Natsu said,"How is she a weak fighter?!". "Hatchling. I could have literally used Equinox Form to make her armor hit herself and like fifty other strategies I had in mind for her. However, I decided to be nice and see what she could do." said Zane. "Ignore him Natsu. It's been a long time I've lost at anything." said Erza. "But you've lost like so much times since I've been a member of the guild." said Zane.

He was punched by Kaida who said,"Papa! Be nice!". "Kaida. If there is one thing I can't do, it's not be honest." said Zane. "Don't worry Kaida. The next time we fight, I'll defeat him." said Erza. "I heavily doubt that but it's good to think positive I guess." said Zane, shrugging. Sly walked over to him as she said,"Nice job partner but aren't you forgetting something?". The two fist bumped as Zane said,"Nope. I'm just waiting to get everyone's attention and also get the blackmail ready.".

Sly shook her head as she said,"Oh Zane. Don't change.". "And I will not." said Zane. "Master, can you believe it? Erza lost to a fight? And Zane is the one who did it!" said Mira, happy with her not so secret crush winning against her former rival. "Yes. It's quite impressive how Zane keeps on defeating powerful wizards left and right. He's a proud Fairy Tail wizard but I envy him completely Mira." said Makarov. "Why master?" said Mira.

The little man laughed like a school girl as he said,"Because he got the best view in the house when  it comes to seeing the Seduction Armor! What a lucky son of a bitch!". "Master! That should have been shown to only Natsu!" said Mira in a reprimanded tone. Elfman walked up behind Zane being that he was slightly taller than Zane. "Great job Zane! That was one of the manliest fight I've ever seen!" said Elfman.

With closed eyes, Elfman slapped Zane's back being that he was giving Zane a good reward for a job well done. Zane turned around to face him with his eyes glowing red. "And now, you get the torture I was giving to give Natsu earlier!" said Zane. He turned into Specter Form with him phasing into the gentle giant and giving him in a green glow. "He had this coming right?" said Kaida. "Yes he did and it'll be funny to watch him learn his place." said Erza.

Lucy watched Elfman ,who was actually Zane, breakdance with her saying,"So is that all Zane can do with that form?". Cana ,who sat next to her on an empty barrel of beer that she drank, shrugged as she said,"I honestly don't care Lucy. He just gave me a lot of money which will pay for my next couple of beers after clearing my tab. He'll be S Class soon at this rate.". "Alright! This fight is over. Everyone picked up your things and head back to the construction site or your homes." said Makarov.

With that, the guild members picked up any stuff that they brought and began walking down the path leading to Magnolia. Zane deactivated Omni Mode with him back in his normal clothes. "And now, I think it's time for a slushie. I'm thinking the Astral Form flavor." said Zane. He was about to leave but was stopped by Erza. "Oh what now?" said Zane. Before Zane could get her answer, she cocked back her armored fist and punched Zane in the gut hard.

Zane looked at her as he said,"Is that supposed to do something?". "Huh? You're supposed to be on the floor." said Erza. "Oh. I'm not the one whose on the floor. I think Fanboy is feeling the pain." said Zane, pointing to something. She saw Droy hunched over and coughed up a bit of blood, waves of pain filled his insides. "Huh. I guessed I picked Chumchum. Totally thought that I picked Fanboy but hey at least you got a guy who was blushing over you earlier." said Zane.

Erza looked right at Zane as she said,"You got very lucky this time Zane. Next time, don't tear off my breastplate.". "Yeah. That wouldn't happen since you either get rid of your reliance in armor or stop making it easy for me. I also have proof and several eyewitness that you were showing off your body like no ones business earlier with that Seduction Armor. Don't act like a prude if you're doing that to me and the Guild in an feeble attempt of defeated me." said Zane.

Erza was going to retort Zane but she was stopped by his solid logic. "Fine. Lets head back to the guild. After our fight, I'm craving a few slushies. You're buying right?" said Erza. "Ha no. That's not happening plus don't forget our bet." said Zane. Erza remember their wager clearly as her face went red. "So when should I expect the kiss?" said Zane. "Soon but no blackmail right?" said Erza as she looked at him. "I promise that I won't." said Zane, clearly crossing his fingers behind his back.         

Meanwhile on a hill in the East Forest which wasn't too far away from Erza's training ground, four figures were watching the fight. The first figure was a slim man of average height with waist-length light-green hair. His bangs are brushed to one side ,which was covering the majority of the right side of his face, and has a pair of thin lightning bolt shaped strands jutting out backwards from the sides of his head.

His hair is gathered at the end and tied in a short ponytail with a gray ribbon. His eyes are greenish blue with the left one lies a small beauty mark. He possesses prominent eyelashes. He's wearing a dark red knee-length double-breasted coat which possesses a wide collar, large lighter-colored cuffs decorated by a darker line on the back part, and edges adorned by two thin golden lines each. There are four yellow buttons closing said coat.

The coat itself has been shown in two different colors on different occasions: red and black. Over it and around Freed's waist, he has a pair of buckled belts. Attached to which ,on his left hip, is his sword. Underneath, he wears a simple, light-colored shirt with large cuffs and a mildly high collar to it. It's mostly obscured by other pieces of his clothing among which a light cravat tie around his neck and the lower part tucked inside the coat.

He's completed with a pair of loose light-colored pants tucked inside simple knee height boot each sporting a line of small buttons on their respective outer sides. His clothes, together with his physical features, make him resemble a French nobleman from the Enlightenment period. On the back of his left hand, there is a green Fairy Tail Mark. This man is Freed Justine, leader of the Thunder Legion aka the strongest team in Fairy Tail and Laxus's personal bodyguards.

He also has some homosexual tendency which isn't a bad thing. That doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things but I just wanted to bring it up. The more you know. The second figure is a tall man with a mildly muscular build and broad shoulders. His upper body is covered in a dark, mildly fitting cloth covered in vertical white stripes which extend up to his head to cover it in a tight hood. This only exposing his hands and face.

The upper part of the latter though is almost always obscured by a metal visor reminiscent of a Medieval sallet. It comes covered with eight small, elongated holes. Four of them in front of each of his eyes ,allowing him to see, but preventing others from being affected by his unique magical talents. He wears large armbands and large shoulder pads each with skulls on its center. His waist is circled by a simple dark band.

This  holds up a massive waistguard made of cloth which comes in four long, light-colored pieces, each adorned by a dark "X", reaching down below his knees. Under such waistguard, he dons a pair of extremely baggy ,loose, dark pants with each leg being adorned by a pair of lighter-colored belts crossing in an "X" formation. Such pants are tucked inside a pair of light, armored greaves. This is Bickslow, the second member of the Thunder Legion.

He could be considered the psycho of Fairy Tail due to his very unique personality. He has five wooden, can shaped dolls with dark-colored wings attached to both sides and different faces painted onto them. These are Bickslow's dolls or babies that's created by his magic. You'll learn what that is at a later date aka the Battle of Fairy Tail Arc. I didn't spoil Freed's magic so I'm not exposing what Bickslow's magic is.

I will show you what's underneath the mask however since I'll forget probably when I get to that point. His hair is blue and black in color ,with the black parts being almost shaven, and the blue ones being that they occupying the top and the sides of his head are being much longer. The one of the top being styled in a mohawk-like crest and the ones on the sides pointing backwards. Bickslow’s large eyebrows are also blue.

The upper part of his nose and his forehead bear the tattoo of a stylized man with it extending his long, curved arms outwards. His irises each have a concentric circle surrounding the pupils inside them. He also has prominent eyelashes ending in a spiraling curved motif, each placed at one of his large eyes sides. The pair of eyelashes pointing towards his nose are headed downwards while the outer ones jut upwards. Below his eyes are two slightly curved lines pointing downwards.

His black Fairy Tail Stamp is located on the upper part of his own tongue often visible due to him sticking it out and I can't say for sure but his tongue may be like Gene Simmons. That may become Fairy Legion canon but don't count on it. And finally, we reached the third and final unknown figure. Unlike the last two, this one is female. She has light brown hair, dark brown eyes with oval glasses over them and visible pink lips.

Her most noticeable feature is her very voluptuous figure. It's paired with very large breasts, curvy hips, and a small waist. Her hair is arranged in a sidewards ponytail. She's wearing a green dress that had movable wings on the back of it. It may be unpractical but there is a reason. She wore navy blue stockings along with white sandals. She carries around a feathered purple fan with three hearts on it so expect a rich woman laugh from her possibly. It's Fairy Legion Canon.

Her green guild stamp is located on the right side of her bust being that her and Stella are the only two ladies in Fairy Tail to have their marks on their mammaries. This is Evergreen, the third member of this trio and the woman who wants to be Queen of the Fairies but a certain Prude Knight has that instead. The final member of this little ground is Laxus being the grandson of Master Makarov, an S-Class Wizard, one of the strongest wizards in Fairy Tail, and someone Zane respects.

Laxus and his groupies ,I may like it them but they're groupies, had heard about the fight between the guild's up and coming star Zane Alvarez who has done more in two months that most wizards will do in their entire lives and Erza Scarlet going on today. Like everyone else, they came to watch but the four of them are quite shy and stayed away from Fairy Tail. Laxus was at the front of the troop with his arms crossed over his broad chest.

He was looking hard at Zane being that his expression didn't read mad but he wasn't happy either. It was more neutral than anything else. Freed walked up to him as he said,"He's quite powerful. You agree right Laxus?". "Yeah. I knew that already because unlike the rest of the nobody weaklings in this guild, he isn't weak. I respect his method with dealing Prude Knight which is a way better name from her rather than Titania right Ever?" said Laxus.

The brunette nodded as Bickslow said,"Hell yeah! He gave us a rocking show. Ain't that right my babies?!". I don't know how to write Bickslow so imagine a rockstar and you got Bickslow in Fairy Legion. The wooden dolls around him all voiced in agreement and sounding happy. One of them did mention something about cheese though. Evergreen looked forward with her looking right at Zane who was stretching. "And he's sexy too." said Evergreen.

Bickslow, Freed, and Bickslow's babies looked at her confused. The greenette shook his head and back at Laxus. "So Laxus. Do you think he'll make a good addition to the Thunder Legion?" said Freed. "Nope. He's a lone wolf who opens his Essence up to only a select few. His kid and girl plus a few of the weaklings are in that group. Lets go." said Laxus. He walked away with a look on his eyes as the Thunder Legion watched him saunted off.

They were confused about their leader's current condition and it was to due with Zane mentioning her name. It's a taboo word to Laxus being that one dark wizard mentioned her name when Laxus was nearby, he was in the hospital for a month. The trio looked at Zane with him not wearing a shirt for some reason. "So what do you guys think? I mean he looks pretty strong and those Take-Overs are killer! Don't get why he's not wearing a shirt though." said Bickslow.

He turned to his teammates being that one of them was hiding their attraction for Zane and the other one was not. Take a guess. "He's got power, sexy body, handsome face, and he's good with kids. I think I want him for sure." said Evergreen with her eyes looking at the lower half of Zane rather than the upper half. "And him defeating Erza is a bonus right?" said Freed. "Uh huh." said Evergreen as she kept staring at him.

Bickslow shrugged as he said,"Even after all of this time, I still don't get you. I mean do you want him for the team and the mission or do you want him in your room?". "Both obviously. I mean Freed likes him too right?" said Evergreen, not hiding her feelings. "I won't deny that but Laxus is the man I'll follow. So who'll ask him to join? I'm not doing it." said Freed. "Freed my second in command. I think your answer is so damn obvious man." said Bickslow, pointing to Evergreen. 

After the fight, Makarov was ordered asked to speak with the Magic Council in Era. Zane had tagged along with the man not by choice mind you but because the polliwog messenger told him that his presence was required by Ultear. Levy went with them because she was worried about Ultear being alone with Zane. The couple was going to keep an eye on Makarov, Levy was going to keep an eye on Ultear, and Zane was going to keep an eye on the Council.

During the meeting, Zane observed with no so subtle hatred. He and any form of government didn't get along being that all of them had a stick up their ass and he wasn't one for following the rules. He and Levy did find it funny how Makarov was sleeping through the entire thing and the faces on most of the Council because of that was hilarious. The only two members of the council who enjoyed this were Siegrain and Ultear.

Tien ,who along with Ira and Melba being that the both of them were laughing, snapped his fingers in front of Makarov and he said,"Master Makarov. Hello?". Makarov didn't respond until Zane got him a tendril slap to the back of his head and woke him up. "I'm present!" said Makarov. "We're in the middle of court and we have a very strict no sleeping policy during it!" said Tien. "And now, you know why I hate the Council beloved. They're anti-me." said Zane.

Makarov said,"What? I wasn't asleep! I was just standing up with my eyes closed!". "Dude. That's a me excuse." said Ira. "And those are awful." said Melba. "Not all of them and some of them have a kernel of truth to them." said Ira. The meeting went on as Levy looked right at her boyfriend with her seeing the pure unadulterated anger within his eyes whenever they spoke about Fairy Tail and how destructive it was.

Zane made quick contact with Siegrain being that he and Prude Knight had a connection. During all of this, Siegrain chuckled at all of Fairy Tail's antics and it took all of Zane's strength to keep him from attacking the man. Levy also helped being that she didn't want her boyfriend to be in jail and break out of it like he has done a lot. Levy did noticed how uncomfortable Siegrain was around Zane being that the councilman felt annoyed and uneasy around Zane.

When they end the meeting, Zane was relieved being that he was used to getting lusty looks from women but not in front of his current girlfriend. Makarov was talking to the sixth seat of the council Yajima whose an old friend of Makarov. "You should be thanking me Macky. I was one of the three council members who actually see the good in Fairy Tail." said Yajima. "And you know that I am Yaji. Come by the guild once it's all repaired so I can treat you for some ramen." said Makarov.

Yajima nodded as he said,"I could go for some fairy ramen but my friend Ira told me about this good place somewhere in Magnolia. Heard about it? He says that the roasted pork there is to die for. I also want twelve slices.". "You're really pushing it you know that?" said Makarov. "I'm sure you're well aware of everything that the Legion Void Knight did during the war including the destruction of a building and killing of several wizards." said Yajima.

Makarov sighed as he said,"Okay fine! I get the point. Have twenty no thirty slices for all I care!". "I think twelve is fine. You're lucky that Ultear is interested in the boy. He has power but his attitude is just like Ira. Makky. You should really think of giving it up. We're not young anymore. Don't tell me that you've forgotten." said Yajima. "Forgotten what?" said Makarov. "What happened to our old pal Rob and Wraith." said Yajima.

Yeah. Read Fairy Tail 100 year quest for context on the latter two mentioned. "No. I could never forget my friends who've left us." said Makarov. "Those were the good old days you know. The team of you, me, Rob, and Porlyusica. Those were the days. All of us were so young. Just a bunch of young fools but we treated every day like it was our last. Living to the fullest." said Yajima. "Fairy Tail was a great place until Rob left us. Erza has sometime mention him." said Makarov.

Yajima turned to his friend with him saying,"I only bring this up because of the talks. The council thinks Fairy tail has been going overboard and out of control the past couple of years. Gandalf and Michello have been demanded to get the paperwork so they can disband Fairy Tail. At this rate, you'll be in a lot of hot water and someone of your age shouldn't have to deal with that. Stress is a killer Maki and I don't want to lose you as well to something like this.".

Makarov was silent as Yajima said,"I'm speaking as one of your oldest friends when I say this. You need to step down sooner rather than later. You're not a kid anymore.". Makarov nodded his head as he said,"I'll keep that in mind. I have a couple of people in mind.". "Is one of those people Laxus? I doubt that he would do it just because you asked him too. You really screwed up your relationship with him because of Ivan and Lynn." said Yajima. Makarov stayed quiet as he sat there.     

The next day, Mira got everyone's attention. She had begin working at the temporary bar ,after it was rebuild, as she said,"So listen up! From today onwards, we're taking job requests! You'll have to excuse the mess but at least, you can get back to work!". The crowd of wizards cheered being that there was over a dozen wizard over at the Request Board, looking for work. Other wizards were nearby by the bar, drinking beer, slushies, or talking about yesterday's fight that was still fresh.

Sly sat at the bar with her sipping on a slushies. "Wow. I've never seen them so eager before. I mean most of the time, they're lazier than my partner is on vacation." said Sly. "That's because they're still feeling the energy from yesterday's fight. Your partner was amazing." said Mira. "Yeah. He tends to have that effect on people." said Sly. "So where is he? I haven't seen him or Kaida yet." said Mira as she looked for Zane. "Probably with Levy. The three of them have been really close." said Sly.

Before Mira could ask for more clarification, Gray walked over to them. "Hey Mira and Sly. Can I ask you two a question?" said Gray. "What can we do for you Gray? I thought you would be in pain after our sadist went to town on you and Natsu." said Mira, resting her hands on the bar and leaned forward. "I would but today is our rest day. So have you see either Lucy or Natsu? Erza wanted us to go on a job together with you and Zane Sly." said Gray, sitting down.

Sly looked at her as she said,"Do you really think you'll get Zane to join you guys? I mean I don't mind but Zane isn't a team player especially with Erza.". "Yeah. That's what I told her but Erza is stubborn. She wanted to see Lucy and Natsu so maybe those two could convince her." said Gray. "I don't think I've seen either of them but I do see Zane." said Mira, pointing to a nearby table. Gray saw Kaida and Levy sitting next to a sleeping Zane with his head and arms lying on the wooden top.

Zane was taking a quick nap being that Kaida was drawing a picture of a can and Levy was reading a book. "Okay. I'll wake him up not." said Gray. "Smart. At least, Happy is here so you can ask him for Lucy and Natsu's location." said Sly. She pointed to Happy who was looking at Zane's exposed watch. He was holding his fish ,that was given to him by Mira, and began laughing mischievously. Happy flew over to Zane's sleeping form and gently landed on a table.

Kaida and Levy looked right at him being that it was clear what he was doing and it involved Zane's watch. He stretched out his paw and pressed down on the faceplate. The watch began to beep as a light purple holographic screen appeared. Happy smiled as he said,"Time to bring me back the Happy! Fairy Tail's strongest wizard!" He was trying to find the command to turn him back into Archer Form or maybe Liger Form.

Before the cat could get anywhere, he heard a cough. He turned to see Kaida and Levy looking right at him. "So what do you think you're doing with my boyfriend's watch Happy?" said Levy, crossing her arms. Upon seeing Levy's tone increased, he backed away and landed on the ground. Zane woke up and he said,"And that was a good nap. So why is Happy on the ground? Did he try to pull another Kitsune Form incident or was it the Ethereal Mania incident? It's either or right?".

Kaida nodded as she said,"Yep! Check it out Papa!". She showed him his picture of a can and he said,"That's awesome. Now remember what Reedus told you about how your magic works.". "I'm still shocked to hear you call him by his name since you still call Erza by her nickname." said Levy as she turned to Zane. "That because he's helping Kaida with her magic where I can not and I don't respect Prude Knight." said Zane. "Sometimes." said Levy.

Gray walked over to them with him saying,"Hey Happy. Have you seen Lucy or Natsu? I need to tell them to convince Zane to join us on a job.". "Seriously? Why in the nine realms would I go with you guys when I haven't gone on my job with Levy yet?" said Zane. "That's what I told her but she's so damn stubborn." said Gray. "I don't know where they are." said Happy, getting Gray and the others attention.

If there is one common thing about Happy, it's the fact that he's always by Natsu and also having a fish in hand. "I think he went out to go train this morning and then head to Lucy's house. I just came here because I need a fish." said Happy. "Oh. That makes sense. That idiot and Lucy are close like you and Zane are Levy." said Gray. "I'm pretty sure that those two aren't hanging out like friends Gray." said Zane. "What do you mean?" said Gray.

Levy punched Zane with her saying,"I thought you weren't going to say anything until they were ready.". "Ready for what?" said Gray. "Oh. You'll see and try not to be too shocked. Lets just say that you and the others will be shocked." said Zane. "Okay then. I hope you can convince Erza that you don't want to go on a job with us. Sly's game right?" said Gray. "Possibly. She's much more friendly than I could ever be." said Zane. "Ain't that the truth." said Sly.

Gray turned to the makeshift bar with him seeing Lucy holding hands with Natsu. The ice wizard noticed that Lucy looked flustered if the slight blush on her face was a serious clue. "Okay. I think I get what you mean by that Zane." said Gray. "Zane! I thought you promised not to say anything about it!" said Lucy. "I didn't. I just made mentioned how you two aren't hanging out like friends. Nothing else I swear." said Zane. "Yeah. Kinda happy for you two." said Gray.

Mira was silent during the whole exchange as Natsu said with a smile,"See Luce! I told you that us dating wouldn't be such a big deal. I better not expect you to do anything with her Gray or else, I'll kill your ass.". After saying this, Gray turned to Mira being that she had dropped the beer mug that she was cleaning and her mouth was widen open. "Um. Are you okay Mira?" said Gray. "Oh Lucy! I can't believe you!" said Mira.

This surprised the blonde being that both Natsu and her sat there. "We need to talk now! Come on Levy!" said Mira as both her and Levy grabbed Lucy as Kaida, Happy, and Zane walked over to the bar. "So what's up with them? I mean Lucy and Natsu shouldn't be that big of a deal. You and Levy were a huge shock Zane. No offense." said Gray. "None taken. Me and her do stuck out since I did change Levy's appearance." said Zane. "You did? How?" said Happy.

Zane smiled as he said,"I'm a god which means that I can alter reality with just the snap of my fingers so I could make it rain fish for example.". Happy's eyes sparkled with him saying,"You aren't lying to me Zane? You could make it rain fish!". "I could but I won't." said Zane. Happy sulked as Kaida said said,"So what is it like dating Lucy Natsu?". "What do you mean Kaida?" said Natsu, raising a pink eyebrow. "You two are dating now. It should be different between you two." said Sly.

Gray looked at Natsu with him saying,"So how did this happen? I mean you two were always pretty close but dating?". "It happened after I beat Gajeel using that sweet move I learned from Zane and we confessed our feelings to each other. We kissed and we've been together since. Hey Zane. You know how to bar tend right?" said Natsu. "Yep. I got this. Learned how to do this when I was eighteen years old." said Zane, phasing through the bar and began pouring Natsu a drink. 

Sly nodded as she said,"Do you understand now Gray?". "Yeah. Kinda happy for you. So what's up with the tattoo on her neck?" said Gray, pointing to the blonde who was talking with Levy and Mira nearby them. "Isn't it obvious?" said Natsu. "No. That's why I'm asking you ash for brains." said Gray with him getting ready to fight Natsu. The ice wizard was stopped by Stella who said,"It's because they're mates. Guess she forgot to hide it today.".

Natsu nodded as he took a sip of his drink. "Wait a minute. Oh god! You two fu....." said Gray being that Sly slapped her hand over his mouth. "Don't say that. Zane may allow swearing in front of Kaida but mentioning the Devil's Tango in front of her is a very bad idea." said Sly. "Plus you'll be a pile of ash if you do." said Natsu, glaring fiercely at Gray. "So why didn't she try to hide it today?" said Zane as he poured himself a drink. "I don't know." said Natsu.

Stella sat next to Natsu as she said,"So Natsu. Mind telling me why she's hiding it?". "It's because Luce doesn't want us to be a couple right now so we're keeping it a secret. We're only letting a few people know it and yes, me and Luce have kissed. Her tattoo is known as a mate mark. It shows to everyone that we're together. Don't breath a word of this to anyone mainly Erza. I need to tell her on my own. Got it Gray?" said Natsu.

Gray nodded as Sly removed her hand from his mouth. "Wow. That's a lot to process. Congrats. Lucy is a great girl. Didn't think you would get this close to a girl after what happened." said Gray. "I really do love her." said Natsu as Zane handed Gray a drink. "Here's my question. I thought you liked Erza." said Gray. "I still do." said Natsu, causing Gray to spit out his drink onto Sly who growled. "Simmer down Sly. Let him explain Gray." said Zane. "Sorry Sly and go on Natsu." said Gray.

Natsu looked around to see that no one was around them. Happy wasn't paying attention to this since he was eating fish and Kaida was four being that she was drawing something. "Gray. Don't tell this to anyone but this has to do with my magic. Normal dragons are normally driven to take one mate during their lifetime and that trait is passed down to dragon slayers." said Natsu. Gray nodded as Stella said,"Yeah but dragon kings are different.".

Gray nodded as he said,"Okay. How?". "Dragon kings take up to three mates each to ensure their magic is passed onto another generation. Since I was raised by a dragon king, my mate is driving me to take multiple mates. It isn't something I can control." said Natsu. "So you'll have three girlfriends Natsu? That sounds complicated. How will you pick them?" said Gray. "And here comes to the fun part in my opinion." said Zane, earning a head nod from Sly.

Stella looked at the two as she sighed. "That's the thing. My magic picks my mates at first sight. I'm sure that I've meet all four of them though." said Natsu, running his fingers through his spiky pink hair. "Wait. I though dragon slayers raised by dragon kinds could only take up to three mates. Four is more than three Einstein. I'm also not sure if I should be jealous or worried for you. I'm going with the latter." said Gray, taking another sip of his drink.

Sly nodded as she said,"Yeah. Natsu is an interesting mess when it comes to his love life. I know two of them and Zane knows three of them.". "And what about the fourth one? Erza is one of them so there are two missing." said Stella. "You know one of them Gray. The last one is a mystery." said Zane with Gray sighing. "Okay. So how was Lucy under the sheets?" said Natsu. "I'll tell you later but..." said Natsu.

He pointed to Kaida and then Lucy who was still talking with Levy and Mira. "Ah. That makes sense man. So Zane, mind if I see a form of yours?" said Gray. "Which one? I got over a million of them in here." said Zane, holding his watch in the air. "I think Kaida mentioned one of them called Prodigy Form. Was kinda curious what it looked like." said Gray. "Please Papa!" said Kaida after hearing Gray wanting to see it.

Zane shrugged as he jumped over the bar and turned into the form as he landed on the ground. He grows to eight feet tall. He looks like a primate like creature with black fur and several white patches of fur that cover his chest, face, feet, fingers, and upper arms. He has four glowing green eyes ,with black irises. Two of his eyes are covered by his dark blue hair with two gray stripes and covers three metallic plates, which can open and reveal his brain.

It's a bright gold color with it pulsating with electricity. He has four arms and two legs. He has four fingers with pads replacing the palms of his hands and four toes on each foot. He has two long and thin tails with two white stripes being that one stripe is near the tip of the tail and bottom of the tail. He wears a black hooded cloak with two navy blue sashes going across his chest and a gold energy star symbol connected the two sashes.

Under his cloak, he wears a dark blue bodysuit with light green cuffs. It lack sleeves and the pants stops at his knees with an opening for the tails. He wears gray skull elbow and kneepads. He wears black fingerless gloves with golden chains wrapped around his wrists. "So what did you turn into Zane? It isn't very manly." said Elfman. "Prodigy Form and it's one of the best forms within the watch. I'm also not counting Prime Forms." said Zane.

Gray crossed his arms as he said,"So what can it do?". "And could it have beaten Erza by itself?" said Macao. "A lot of stuff such as moving things with my mind, intangibility, electricity and energy manipulation, and the ability to detect weakness. My favorite part is this." said Zane with him lowering his head to show the crowd. The three plates on his head opened and reveal his brain. When the crowd saw this, most of their faces turned green. "Oh god! That's so gross!" said Bisca.

Vance looked at Zane with him saying,"Why the hell is showing off your brain your favorite part about this transformation?!". "Zane's weird like that but don't mess with Prodigy Form. He's in the top rankings of Zane's forms for a reason. I dare someone to touch his brain." said Sly. "Who would be stupid enough to do that?" said Macao. "I'll do it Sly!" said Natsu. "And there's the idiot old friend of mine." said Wakaba.

Natsu touched said brain with him getting shocked by golden cosmic energy, sending him through the bar counter. "Okay. That was pretty cool. I'll admit." said Alzack. About five minutes earlier. The duo of Levy and Mira were interrogated Lucy. They went far enough so there would be no one to overheard them being that they were far enough so only three beings could hear them with one of them being Natsu himself and the other two knowing about the whole thing.

Mira looked at Lucy with her saying,"So I guess you two decided to open about your relationship now huh?". Lucy's face was bright red as she unconsciously rubbed the mate mark on her neck. "I guess Cana and Zane weren't lying." said Levy. "Yeah. Me and Natsu are dating and..... Wait! Cana knows about us?!" said Lucy in shock. "You're not shocked about Zane knowing? Also I think Alzack knows but I'm not too sure." said Mira.

Levy coughed loudly as she said,"Um Mira.". Mira turned to the blonde who was about to have a panic attack. "He's been the one helping us and Cana is a good friend of his. Oh god. Is he doing this just to mess with us?" muttered Lucy. "Don't freak out Lucy. Cana won't tell anyone and Zane told me that he may tease about a lot of things but when its a romance, he can hold back a bit." said Mira, grabbing Lucy's shoulders.

Lucy calmed down as she said while rubbing her arm,"So how does Cana know?". "Well, I think she told me that she used Alzack's rifle and saw you and Natsu kissing after Gajeel was defeated." said Levy with Lucy's face turned a dark shade of red. "So is it true that Natsu used his tongue on the second kiss? I mean Zane told me that he did and he wouldn't lie about that right?" said Mira with a red face. Lucy looked down as she said,"So does everyone know yet?".

Levy shook her head as she said,"No Lu. Just a few of us being that she who must not be named doesn't know yet. Zane does however and will be using this to blackmail/tease you plus Cana will as well.". "Great." said Lucy, with a small smile on her face. "So Lucy. Have you and Natsu done the deed yet?" said Mira, nudging Lucy's shoulder. "Mira! We shouldn't ask about what she and Natsu do in their private lives!" said Levy.

Mira looked at her as she said,"Sorry. I was just curious since Zane said that the mark only appears if a dragon slayer has bedded his mate. Plus I love gossip like this.". "He did. That's why I have this mark. I can hide as you know but I guess I forgot when we left my house." said Lucy. "So are your senses heightened?" said Levy. "They are. I could smell the bakery that's near my apartment and I can tell people apart by their scents." said Lucy.

She groaned as she said,"But I can hear the guild acting like idiots from my home. I can see better now but compared to Natsu, Stella, and especially Zane, I'm not that special.". "I think that's just awesome Lucy. So how was he in the sac? Pretty sure that dragons are beast." said Mira with her old self coming back. "He was amazing being that he started gentle and caring at first but then he went full on...." said Lucy.

She was cut off thanks to the loud crash from earlier as the three turned around to see Natsu lying on the ground, wooden fragments all around him and covered in sparks. "Natsu!" said Lucy. She ran up to him and helped him up. "Are you okay Natsu?" said Mira, looking over for him. "Yeah. I touched Zane's brain and this is what happened. Sorry about the bar Mira." said Natsu, rubbing his head. "It's fine but did you say Zane's brain?" said Mira.

The three girls saw Zane standing there. "Oh. I get it now." said Mira. "Sorry about that Natsu. You may be dumber than a bag of bricks but I blame Sly for you touching my cerebral cortex. I do hope you know not to do that again." said Zane. "I may not know what central hamlet means but I won't touch your brain." said Natsu. "At least you get the idea. If you didn't, I would have shrunk with Nano Form and blasted your brain if it's there." said Zane.  

A little bit later, Natsu decided to challenge Zane once again but he was stopped by a single glare from Zane ,who deactivated Prodigy Form, who mouthed,"Try it and you'll be taking a ride with Equinox Form.". Natsu backed down much to Gray's amusement. Zane was sitting at the bar, listening to his music and enjoying the peace with his eyes closed. No one was trying to fight him. It was just him and his music but the peace never last for too long.

The peace was disrupted by a feminine voice said,"Well, well who do we have here?". Zane opened his eyes and turned his head to the right with him seeing a female. Like most women in this dimension, he noticed her large assets. "God damn! She's a hottie!" said Kane. "Hi there. Have we met before? You seem familiar." said Zane. "Yes. My name is Evergreen. Me and you haven't been at the guild at the same time before." said Evergreen. "Well, sit down. I want to know you." said Zane.

From the tables close by, a few wizards were watching the interaction between Evergreen and Zane with interest. "Whoa. It's Evergreen. She hardly comes to the guild." said Nab who was standing at the request board. "And why is she close to Zane?" said Max on a table. "I think she's flirting with him you guys." said Droy. "Huh. I mean she does have a type and Zane is that." said Jet with Bisca watching this with concern and jealous.

Zane nodded as he said,"So Evergreen. I've heard about you before our meeting.". "Oh and what have you heard about little old me?" said Evergreen. "Nothing naughty. I think you're on a three person team right?" said Zane. "Yes. I'm part of the Thunder Legion, the strongest team in Fairy Tail. We used to be a four person team but something happened to our fourth member. I rather not talk about it since it's a touchy subject with our leader." said Evergreen.

Athena nodded as she said,"I think she's talking about Lynn Zane.". "Anyway, I came to ask you something Zane." said Evergreen, smiling coyly. "And what's that? Is it how you got your wings onto your dress because I'm really curious about that." said Zane. Evergreen leaned in with her breasts close to his face. "How would you like to join me and my team on a job?" said Evergreen. This news caused the eavesdroppers to get a shocked look.

Macao said,"Did she just ask him to go on a job with her?". "And with the Thunder Legion? That has never happened before." said Wakaba. "What about when she was around?" said Macao. "Maybe but he would have to approval of them first." said Wakaba. "Yeah. That's true. Kinda forget how picky he can be." said Macao. As the two older drinks talked, Erza and Levy walked toward the bar area. The bookworm asked Erza for her help in picking a job for her and Zane to do.

She wanted something from the S-Class board for the two of them. It took a lot of convincing for Erza to do this since she doesn't want Levy to get hurt but the bookworm told the knight that Zane would protect her from any danger that may happen. Erza knew how protective he was of Levy ever since they began dating. It reminded her a lot of whenever Natsu is protecting her from danger even though she doesn't need protection most of the time.

Erza decided to let this job happen with her sending the client a letter of notification of Fairy Tail accepting the job and the arrival of two of their wizards with one of the duo being the Legion Void Knight. As the two reached the bar area, Erza began looking for her team. Before she could get too far in her search, both Erza and Levy saw Evergreen and Zane. The bookworm noticed how close the brunette was to Zane being that he smiled.

When she heard Evergreen ask Zane to join her and her team on a job, Levy froze in place. "Why would Evergreen of all people ask Zane to join her and the Thunder Legion on a mission?" thought Levy. She took note of Evergreen's not so subtle smile and her eyeing Zane like a hunk of meat. Her eyes narrowed as she tightly clenched her fists. "I get it now." said Levy. Erza watched Levy head straight toward the duo with a trail of steam hissing out from her ears in her wake.

Erza had never seen Levy this mad before in her life. Droy and Jet may say something but here's the thing. The Prude Knight didn't know ,yet, how strong and blinding jealous can be. "Well, I'm very honored that you want me to join you and you friends. I would in any other case but there is a reason that I can't." said Zane. "You do know what she's flirting with you right?" said Sivarth. "When has Zane been dense Sivarth?" said Azalea.

Sivarth agreed with his wife as Zane wondered if Laxus had something to do with this and if a wizard could be on two different teams. I mean it was never stated that they can be in Fairy Tail from what I found so yeah. "We're already going on a job together." said a voice. Zane turned to see Levy with her arms crossed and a scary frown on her face. "Wow. I never thought I would see an expression like that on her. Are you sure that you changed just her body Zane?" said Lucifer.

Evergreen looked away from Zane for a moment and turned to shoot a nasty glare at the opposing woman being that it wasn't Prude Knight but Levy. "Levy. What do you mean he's going on a job with you?" said Evergreen with resentment in her voice. "That's because I promised her that we could go on a job together just the TWO of us and no one else." said Zane with him empathizing two to make sure that three people heard him.

One of them was Natsu who would to join him and Levy with the other two being Droy and Jet due to Zane finding them clingy. I mean they kinda are. "He's right. He and I are going on a job together plus he's my boyfriend and I don't like it when other women try and steal him away from me." said Levy as she wrapped her arm around Zane. "Well, you heard the woman Evergreen. How about another time? Tell him that I wouldn't mind." said Zane.

The two women ignored him as they stared at each other with clear scorn being that Zane was stuck in the middle. Instead of being involved in this, he was humming something about pina colada and dancing in the rain. The wizards who were watching the scene unfold look on, dumbfounded and surprised. "Is Levy really fighting Evergreen for Zane?" said Gray. "Sure seems that way. He's a lucky son of a bitch." said Macao.

Wakaba chuckled as he said,"Yeah. He's been in the guild for two months now and has more girls pining for him than you ever Macao.". "Hey! Watch it there buddy!" said Macao. After a moment passed between the two glaring beauties, Evergreen backdown. "Whatever. I need to get ready for my team's job anyway. See you later handsome." said Evergreen. "See you later and tell your leader that I'm up for that as well!" said Zane, waving to her. 

After saying that, Levy grabbed Zane's right arm and began to drag him off. Her expression looked angry but at the same time worry after hearing Evergreen's comment. "So is there something wrong? I don't mind being dragged but at least tell me why." said Zane. The ones observing the scene watched as Levy pulled Zane away, leaving a very steamed Evergreen behind. "Good going Levy. Didn't know you had in you." said Cana, sipping on a alcohol flavor slushie.

As the couple reached the courtyard, Zane phased through Levy's grip and looked at her with a very serious look. "Levy. Please tell me what just happened." said Zane. "Don't you already know why I did that?" said Levy. "I do but I want to hear it from you. Come on. You know that you can always talk with me about whatever on your mind." said Zane. "Fine. I didn't want her to steal you away from me since I doubt she's willing to share you like the others would." said Levy.

Zane sighed as he said,"That's what I figured but you don't need to worry. I'm with you and I don't cheat on my partner. That isn't the Alvarez Way.". "I know but I just wanted to make sure that she knew that." said Levy. "I'm not mad at you being jealous but don't worry okay? I told you this a thousand times and I'll keep saying until my dying breath. I like you Levy Mcgarden and no one can change my mind on that." said Zane, hugging her.

Levy smiled as she returned the hug. "So did you manage to convince Prude Knight to go on the job we wanted?" said Zane. "Yeah. We're going on a S-Class." said Levy, smiling. "Wow. I'm impressed with you Levy. I mean if I asked, she would say no unless she and Team Natsu join me which is a hard now but I guess I needed a feminine touch." said Zane. "Aren't you Pseudo S-Class?" said Levy as Zane nodded. "Yeah but she hates me having fun." said Zane.

The Cross-Species then put his hands behind his head as he said,"So what's the job? I'm for really anything you got.". Levy held out the job flier as she said,"You've researched the town Grimcroft Spas right?". "Yeah. It's south of Magnolia and in between Hargeon and Margaret Town right?" said Zane. "Yes. It has been under attack by volcanic monsters for the last week. There has been bursts of magma popping up in random spots in town." said Levy.

Zane nodded as Levy said,"According to the flier, groups of the volcanic monsters climb out and terrorize civilians. Several people have been seriously injured and the attacks are frequent. If something isn't done soon, innocent people could be killed. Our job is to go in and destroy these creatures before they could bring more harm to the people.". "Ah. This sounds pretty intense. So are you up for this Levy? If you want to do a lower paying job, I don't mind." said Zane.

Cole gushed as he said,"Ah! You're worried for her safety! So cute!". He was hit by Zane with Levy saying,"Zane. You've been trained me since I got my weapon and I'm not a slouch like you think my teammates are! I want to do this with you so please.". "Okay. I was already in when you told Erza that the two of us could handle it plus my desire to help people is kicking in." said Zane. "Thank you Zane. The two of us will get a hefty reward for completing the job." said Levy.

Zane looked right at his girlfriend with him saying,"Levy. While I may like money and a cool twenty million jewels is nice, I'm doing this for the people okay? The money is just a benefit.". "Yeah. That's what I thought you say when I saw the reward." said Levy, giggling. "Nice job Levy. So when are we heading out? I'm good for whenever." said Zane. "How about tomorrow morning? Meet me here and then we'll head out. I'll even let you take your car if you want." said Levy.   

Levy looked at Zane who smiled. "Do you mean it? I can go fast?" said Zane. "Um yes but not too fast okay?" said Levy. "Of course." said Zane. The couple hear Lucy calling out to them with the rest of her team behind her. Gray and Natsu were fighting being that they were insulting each other. Erza and Happy were enjoying a strawberry and fish slushie respectively. Lucy was none the wiser. "So what's up Lucy? Those two fighting again?" said Zane.

Lucy sighed as she said,"Yes and since Sly got Erza hooked on slushies, she hasn't tried to stop them whatsoever.". "Yeah. That's my bad. I can get them to stop if you want." said Zane. "Sure." said Lucy as Zane smiled. He tapped both boy's shoulders with them saying,"What?!". Zane's face has a pretty mean looking scowl on it and narrowing brow with his arms crossed. This is the Demon Stare being something Zane is infamous for along with a lot of things.

Zane said,"Stop right now or else, I'll be making your training worse.". The boys smiled and swung an arm around each other's shoulders as if they were good buddies. "Yes sir!" said the two. "And that's how you whipped them Lucy. Use the whip. It's actually pretty effective." said Zane. Lucy blushed as she said,"I'm not into that kinda of stuff.". "You might be one day." said Zane. "So what's up Lu?" said Levy, stopping her boyfriend's conversation from getting worried.

Lucy nodded as she said,"Anyway. I picked out a job.". "You did? I'm so proud of you. Triple B is finally become a wizard." said Zane, wiping out a tear. "Be nice." said Levy, punching Zane in the side. "I think he is." said Lucy. "Yeah. So is this to pay your rent? And are you sure that he won't make you lose it all." said Zane, pointing to Natsu. "Don't worry. It's a job where Natsu can't possible mess it up." said Lucy. "You sound confident. What is it?" said Levy.

Lucy smiled as she said,"We're going to defeat some benefits who made their home in Lupinus and we're leaving tomorrow morning. Stella and Vance are going to join us and Erza was wondering if you two wanted to join us. I know the answer but Erza.". "Yeah. I'm not going on a job with Prude Knight being that me and Levy have a job on our own." said Zane. "Yep and it's a pretty awesome one." said Levy.   

This caught the team's attention to focus on the couple with Natsu saying,"Seriously? What kind of job?". "You tell them Levy. I'll deal with their outburst afterwards." said Zane. "Me and Zane are going on an S-Class job to slay a group of volcanic monsters that have been terrorizing a town." said Levy. The group's ,except for Erza, jaw dropped in disbelief and shock. "No way!" said the trio of Gray, Happy, and Natsu with a shocked looked on their face.

Natsu looked at Zane with him saying,"You're talking Levy on a S-Class job?! And you're taking down volcano monsters?! No way! I want go!". "Sorry Hatchling but you guys have already accepted a job and you don't want to let down the poor people of Lupinus right? And I wouldn't take any of you on a S-Class job after the last one we went on. It was a major pain to deal with." said Zane. Gray and Natsu's shoulders slumped with their heads lowered in defeat.

Lucy on the other hand seemed happy being that she didn't have to go fight volcanic monsters. "That sounds nice. Have fun you two." said Lucy in a cheerful tone. Lucy quickly grabbed Gray and Natsu by their shirts and dragged them before the two numskulls could somehow convince Zane to let them tag along. She would rather pick bandits other volcanic monsters. Smart move. "Come on Luce! It may be fun to fight bandits but volcano monsters?! Come on!" said Natsu. 

Lucy smiled as she said,"I rather not die anytime soon.". "We'll see you tomorrow before you guys head out." said Erza. She and Happy followed after their group. "So do you want to head back to my place to help me pack for tomorrow?" said Levy. "Sure thing. Oh do you mind if Juvia joins us?" said Zane. From her hiding spot, Juvia looked at Zane. "Did he just say my name?!" said Juvia. "Juvia? I don't mind but she isn't a member of Fairy Tail." said Levy.

Zane sighed as he said,"Levy. I know that you want this to be a couple thing but I'm worried about the job in question. Mount Grimcroft has been dormant for thirty plus years prior to this incident. I also think Juvia's Water Magic will be helpful. She's on the same level as Prude Knight being that I think she's slightly stronger than her.". Levy nodded as she said,"That makes sense. So are you going to ask her?". "She already knows." said Zane.

The two walked over to Juvia's hiding spot with Levy saying,"So you can tell when she's stalking you Zane? Is it because of Crisis Judgement?". "It's kinda that Levy but I've had a lot of stalkers over the centuries and she isn't too different from them in terms of her habits." said Zane. "Should I ask how many you've had?" said Levy. "You can but I'll tell you that it's more than you think." said Zane. The two saw Juvia being that the woman didn't noticed them.

Juvia was mumbling. "Oh Zane. I wish I could walk up to you being that I would embrace you and thank you for allowing me to come on your job with Levy. She's super nice to me even though we were enemies." mumbled Juvia. "Does she know we're here yet?" whispered Levy. "Not until after her hallucination." whispered Zane. Juvia imagined her and Zane alone in his room being that the two were kissing each other.

His kisses were going down her neck, tickling her until they fell onto the floor and undressing each other but then Levy showed up. Levy noticed that Juvia was steaming with Zane saying,"You really don't want to know what she's thinking.". "Ah." said Levy. Juvia stopped as she turned around to see both Levy and Zane. "Hola." said Zane. Juvia passed out as Levy said,"So take her back to Fairy Hills Zane?". "Yep." said Zane, picking up Juvia up as the three went to Fairy Hills.

Yeah. We're not done yet but soon, we'll be done. It was morning in Magnolia. If this dimension had TV, I'm sure that Magnolia's morning broadcast would be called Morning in Magnolia. The sun was out with a few white, puffy clouds floated freely across the vast blue sky. Unlike two days ago, the morning temperature was cool. You should probably enjoy it while it can since fall is coming and that means the wind is coming.

Zane Alvarez ,who wars many hats, was walking down the stone streets of Magnolia being that he always did enjoy the cool mornings ever since he was a child. Zane was heading to Fairy Tail being that despite a couple of incidents, the guild hall was slowly being reconstructed. As he walked, he was thinking about the last two days. The introduction of Slushies to Earthland caused him and Erza to fight with him the winner.

There was also Evergreen ,who he heard about but never thought he would me, asking to join her and her team on a job being that Zane was aware of what the job was. She was also making her interest in him super obvious being that even a dense fool could tell that she was interested in Zane. Before Zane could politely tell her that he wasn't interested in her, Levy had surprisingly stepped in and stated that they were going on a job together. 

Zane was pretty sure that Levy was jealous of Evergreen despite Zane telling her that she was the girl for him. The couple's job was going to take down some volcanic monsters that would plaguing the poor people of Grimcroft Spas. After causing Juvia to faint by surprising her, the couple took her back to Levy's room at Fairy Hills. Zane was kinda used to see the many books she had in her room and he wondered where she slept.

Lucifer said,"I think I know the answer to your question Zane. She sleeps on the books.". "That may be it Lucifer but that isn't good for her health. We need to get her a bed soon. So how long are you going to hold Juvia like that?" said Azalea. Zane looked to see Juvia who was resting on his lap while Levy packed. She had a smile on her face as Zane said,"When she's good and ready, I rather not make her mad.".

Athena nodded as she said,"Smart. So why are you messing with her hair?". Zane was uncurling some of her locks as he said,"To be honest, I think she looks beautiful with her hair down myself but what do I know?". Juvia ,who was fake sleeping, heard this and she blushed. After Zane said this, he decided to sneak off and head toward Erza's room. He did this by using his Enigma Talisman. "So why are you being a creep?" said Athena. "Blackmail." said Zane.

Athena sighed as Azalea said,"The answer was pretty obvious Athena.". He stumbled across a black leather book after entering the knight's room. He decided to take a sneak peek and see what type of book it was. It was a smut novel being that Zane smiled. "Okay this is perfect." said Zane as he heard Levy finish packing. He "secret borrow" the book and went back to his main body before Juvia or Levy could tell that he was gone.

Narrator P.O.V.
Cole said,"So Zane. Why aren't you worried about pissing her off? I mean she may be a closed pervert like most knights in the Omniverse are because that Seduction Armor is just the start of her perversion!". "Yeah. I'm kinda jealous of Hatchling. He has a smoking redhead. I always love redheads. Rae is a amazing woman. So when are you going to introduce her to Levy?" said Lucifer. "Eventually. She's super busy as you know." said Zane.

He made his way into the guild hall being that he went over to the bar. A few wizards ,with Nab being the most prevalent, were gathered around the Request Board, looking for specific jobs that peeked their interest. Zane was trying to sense for Juvia or Levy being that the bluenettes were going to both meet him here so they can ask Makarov to allow Juvia to join Fairy Tail and then go on their job. "Okay. I don't sense either of them here. I hope they're okay." thought Zane.

Twilight could tell that Zane was getting worried as she said,"Don't worry Zane. I'm sure that they're just late. We won't let another Massacre happen.". "You're damn right!" said Kane. Zane smiled as he looked at the bar to see Lucy and Mira talking. Zane walked over to them with him sitting next to Lucy. "Hey there you two." said Zane. "Morning Zane." said the girls. "So shouldn't you have gone on a job with Levy by now?" said Lucy.

Zane shrugged as he sipped from his flask. "No idea. Levy wanted to meet me here. We got a huge thing planned and no, she isn't pregnant." said Zane. Lucy looked at Mira who shrugged. "I wasn't thinking it." said Mira. "So Zane. Can you tell me how Erza began falling in love with those slushies of yours?" said Lucy. "Are you questing the majesty of the slushies Lucy?" said Sly. She appeared with Kaida as Lucy squealed. "Nope. I love the slushies!" said Lucy.

It was made very clear to Lucy that insulting the frozen drink nearby Sly is a death sentence. It's like Erza with anything strawberry. She really didn't want to make the Akostar mad. "Wow Sly! You made herself almost wet herself! That's priceless." said Zane, laughing. "That isn't funny Zane!" said Lucy with a vein throbbing on her forehead. "It kinda is Lucy." said Kaida, sitting next to her dad. "Anyway. Why is your beau sulking over there?" said Zane.

He pointed to Natsu who was sitting a few stools away from Zane. He was clearly sulking being that Happy sat on the counter in front of Natsu. He was trying to comfort his partner with a slushie but the dragon slayer remembered what happened with the last slushie he drink being that he got a little bit green just thinking about it. To his left was Erza with her sipping a strawberry slushie and Lucy was to his right.

Gray walked over to them with him saying,"Natsu challenged Erza earlier and he lost badly. Erza made him look stupider than normal.". The fight in question was Natsu challenging Erza to a fight being that it took a single punch to knock Natsu out while using the Seduction Armor. "I'll win for sure next time." grumbled Natsu. "Yeah and I'm going Prude Knight by her name. Time for a quick nap. Wake me when Levy gets here." said Zane, closing his eyes.

Erza was looking at the sleeping Zane being that instead of being loud and rude, he was tranquil and wasn't doing a thing. Despite his interesting personality, he had the ability to make others feel calm and relaxed around him. Mira giggled being that despite Erza liking Natsu more than other guys, it seems that Titania has fallen for the charms of the Legion Void Knight. "Hey Erza. Mind answering a question of mine?" said Mira. "Sure Mira." said Erza, sipping from her slushie.

Mira smiled as she said,"I really think I should call the people at Sorcerer Weekly. They could really use Zane's service being that most of the models miss seeing him around.". "Um. Go nuts? Why are you asking me this?" said Erza. "Isn't it obvious? I mean you're clearly in love with him right?" said Mira. From the first time since being introduced to them, Erza spat out her slushies onto Natsu with him groaning. "Seriously?" said Natsu.

He then remember what just happened as he turned to Erza as he said,"Is it true Erza?! Do you like Zane?!". Erza was coughing for a bit as she took a moment to catch her breath. "No Natsu! I mean I respect him as a warrior but not as a romantic interest!" said Erza. Gray, Kaida, Lucy, and Sly decided to play along.  Zane would have but he was asleep. "You're right Mira. Erza and Zane would make a couple. Opposite attract after all." said Lucy, smiling.

Kaida tilted her head as she said,"Hold on. I think Papa said that was totally wrong.". "Lucy is just a bit confused Kaida but your father is nice on the eyes but his personality is just the worst. I'm his partner and I'll fully admit that." said Sly. "Plus he's pretty strong just like you are. I think you should probably be with someone on the same level or maybe stronger." said Gray. "What?!" said Erza and Natsu with the latter in complete shock.

Mira squealed with her saying,"You guys are right! They would be a perfect match for each other but I'm on Team Natza myself.". "Team Natza?" said Gray and Happy. "She ships Erza and Natsu. It's a term that Zane came up with when he figured out their relationship." said Sly. Erza began watching her hands as she said,"Time out! Me and Zane are never going to be a couple ever! I don't like him in that way!". "Yeah. I have to agree." said Zane.

He woke up with him saying,"I don't steal other people's girls plus Hatchling did call you a rose after all.". "What do you mean by that?" said Lucy. "Prude Knight is a pretty rose on first glance but when you get closer to her, the thorns come out. Prude Knight is physically beauty to Natsu but she's a very deadly woman. He told me he thinks this about you Prude Knight when he was asking me for advice on girls the other day" said Zane.

Lucy and Mira squealed at the romantic thing Natsu said being that Gray laughed. "Wow. I didn't think that romantic crap could come from you!" said Gray, wiping a tear. Natsu turned his head away from the group with a blush on his face. "So you do like Erza Natsu?! I knew it!" said Happy with him jumping up and down. "Shut up or I'll burn you." grumbled Natsu. "Come on Natsu. It's just some harmless jabbing right Erza?" said Sly.

She turned to Erza with her turning to Natsu. "Natsu." said Erza. Natsu turned toward Erza with him saying,"What's up.....". Before he could finish, Erza kissed him and this shocked the group at the bar with Gray and Happy fainting. "Holy shit! I didn't see you doing that! Way to go Prude Knight and I bet the little Hatchling right?" said Zane, smirking. Erza removed her lips from Natsu being that she dashed off, leaving a stunned Natsu behind.

Mira turned to Zane with her saying,"Let me guess. You had something to do with this didn't you Zane?". "Guilty as charged. Hey Gray, mind getting Natsu to listen up?" said Zane. "Sure. I got the perfect way." said Gray. He walked over to the stunned Natsu, slapping him in the face. "Hey! What the hell was that for Elsa?!" said Natsu. "And he's back!" said Kaida. "Natsu. So do you know why me and Levy are going on a job together?" said Zane.

Natsu looked at Zane with him saying,"Because you two are dating right? I mean I bet the two of us could easily take out those volcano monsters no problem.". "You're right about us dating and wrong about you being able to take out those volcano monsters. Hatchling. When you mastered use both of your elements Natsu, you may be able to do that but not yet. When a person asked to be alone with you, they want to know you better." said Zane.

The dragon slayer looked at him as he said,"Huh?". "Zane. I think you're confusing him. Mind if I get a go?" said Mira. "Sure. Go nuts. I mean women's intuition is a powerful force. Learned that the hard way." said Zane. "Natsu. How did Erza's kiss may you feel?" said Mira. Both Gray and Lucy looked at Natsu whose face was bright red. "I guess pretty good Mira." said the duo. "Aye!" said Happy as he held a fish. "You're also her type Natsu." said Sly.

Natsu looked confused as he said,"Type?". "You really need to start learning women Natsu. Once you have a partial knowledge of how they work. things will be so much better for you. Me and Loke are your best help." said Zane. "Speaking of Loke, have you seen him lately Mira?" said Lucy. "So have you fallen for him too Lucy?" said Mira, smirking. "It isn't like that and you know it Mira!" said Lucy as Kaida and Zane laughed at the blond.

Gray sighed as he said,"I'm thought you would be used to teasing thanks to him.". "Yeah no. I really want to thank him for finding my keys." said Lucy. "Okay. If I see him, I'll make sure to bring it up okay?" said Mira. "Thanks." said Lucy. "So how mad were Hali and Nerida about you losing their keys?" said Sly. "From what Hali told me, both of them were in a bad mood for their keys being trouble and well going to punish you for it." said Zane.

Lucy looked at the two beings from another dimension with her groaning. "Don't remind me, Why is that both of them were like that?" said Lucy with her having a flashback to Hali and Nerida ,with the former being the Aquarius of Zane's time and the latter is the current Aquarius, punishing Lucy for dropping their keys. Lets just say that Lucy's but and whip were involved. "Just thinking about it makes the pain come back in full force." said Lucy, resting her head on the bar.

Gray nodded as he said,"I could freeze you Lucy. Make the pain go away just like that.". "Pretty sure that's not recommended by any doctor who isn't a joke making one." said Lucy, stopping Zane from making a comment. "How about you show your big red but Lucy?!" said Happy, giggling. "No way cat! That's some serious sexual harassment!" said Lucy. "And how do you think she's be when I burn it even more?" said Natsu. "Are all of you devils?!" said Lucy.

Zane chuckled as he said,"Not really Lucy. It's just some teasing and there's my bookworm.". The group turned to see Levy walking over to them with Droy and Jet. "Oh and those two. What were their names again?" said Zane. "Fanboy and Chumchum." said Kaida. "Right. Thanks Peanut." said Zane, causing Kaida to smile. "So are you ready to go honey?" said Levy, hugging Zane much to the ire of Droy and Jet.

Droy crossed his arms as he said,"Still wish we could go with you two but Levy made it clear that she wants to be alone with you.". "Yeah. Think of this returning the favor after you kept Lucy from that punk Gajeel." said Droy. "You guys didn't owe me a dam thing okay? I always help someone out if they need my help." said Zane. Before this could go on any father, a barrel went flying through the air and crashed into Natsu's head.

The group there winced at this with Lucy looking concerned. "Are you okay Natsu?!" said Lucy as she looked him over. "I'm fine but what was that?" said Natsu. "Karma?" said Sly. "Why would you say such a thing?!" screamed a voice. Natsu picked up his head and he let out a throaty growl. He turned to see Erza talking with a cocky looking Laxus sitting by himself at a table. "So what's going on?" said Gray and Lucy. "Conflict obviously you two." said Zane.

Natsu looked at Zane with him saying,"I'll be right back. You stay here Luce.". "And I'm going to tell you to do the same. Don't be an idiot right now Natsu. You and Laxus are on two different levels. I rather not see you injured. Just stay here. I need to go have a chat with Laxus." said Zane. He made Natsu sit back down with Levy and Mira looking worried for him. "He'll be fine. I got faith in him and Laxus is in trouble." said Sly.

Laxus sneered as he said,"I got no issues telling you the truth of that matter. This guild is filled to the brim with fuckups and pathetic sacks of shit that don't deserve to be a member of Fairy Tail!". "You're a piece of shit you know that." said Erza through clenched teen and tightly balled fists. "Hey! I'm just saying the truth Prude Knight! We were made into jokes by Phantom! I couldn't bear to show my face here and hearing about the old coward getting fucked over by that fatass is just pathetic." said Laxus.

Do know that Laxus is an arrogant punk at this point in the story so I'm completing writing him in character. He mellows out later on but right now, he's very arrogant since he's an S Class Wizard and Makarov's grandson. He's also very angry about losing his only real friend in Lynn and his dad being that he was taking it out on others. For me, this is him going through the five stages of grief and kinda stuck at anger.

This justification is very similar to how I defend Jude's actions in the last arc with my only canon. If you don't like it, that's perfectly fine. "Tch. That dirk has only been five minutes and he's already mouthing off." said Gray, crossing his arms over his chest. "I still can't believe someone like him is S-Class." said Lucy, frowning at the blonde. "Actually Lucy, he makes more sense than Prude Knight does. He's strong and she isn't." said Zane.

He got a glare from the people around him ,except Kaida and Sly, with Zane saying,"It's having an different opinion. Jeez. Buzzkills.". Laxus turned around and looked at Team Shadow Gear or more specifically Droy and Jet. "And then we have these two morons. You two were basically Phantom's punching bags and defeated by their dragon slayer! What were your names again? Oh right. Fanboy and Chumchum! Another fucking amazing nickname from the Legion Void Knight!" said Laxus. 

Both Droy and Jet looked down with them angry and ashamed. "Two of Fairy Tail's biggest disgraces alongside with the deadbeat whose never once taken a job in his fucking life!" said Laxus with Nab clenching his fists. "Wow. He's a real bastard." said Vance. "It's like Zane's anger and blunt nature but much worse in my opinion." said Stella. "Hey! Droy, Jet, and Nab did just fine unlike you!" yelled Lucy as this made Natsu made due to Laxus's obnoxious laughter.

Laxus smiled as he said,"And don't think I forgot about the rich little princess wannabe wizard. You are the reason why the guild looks the way it does! Don't you forget that? None of these would have happened if you just stayed in your mansion! All of you weakness are pampering her and not telling her the truth. Me and Zane are the only ones who'll speak the truth! I heard about you slamming her head into the ground and almost stabbing her with your sword! Nice job with that Zane!".     

Lucy looked away in guilt being that Natsu comforted her within seconds with his face screaming very angry. "Laxus! Shut up! The master said that no one in the guild was to be held accountable for what happened. You weren't even here to fight so I really don't care about your opinion and that's an order from your grandfather." said Mira, slamming her hands on the makeshift bar and scaring Kaida just a bit.

Laxus stood up and scoffed. "How about you grow up? That old coward is nothing more than a relic that needs to retire. If I had been here, all of you wouldn't be drowning your sorrows in this pile of rubble right now in this piece of shit! All of you are fucking pathetic! There is one person I respect here and he actually did some good against Phantom!". "Shut up Laxus!" yelled Erza. "Nah. I don't feel like it and since when have I listened to you Prude Knight." said Laxus.

He flicked her forehead, knocking her to the ground. "Erza!" yelled Natsu. He was stopped from doing something by Sly. "Let me go Sly!" said Natsu. "Nope. Like Zane, I'm not a fan of watching idiots walk to their death and beside, Zane is ready." said Sly. Gray turned to see Zane standing up with his fists clenched. "Come on Laxus. You're right about everything." said Zane. Everyone was looking at him as Laxus laughed. "Seriously?! That's your plan!" said Gray.

Zane nodded as he said,"Of course I am. I mean I only see a few of you as my friends to begin and the rest of you are leeches on Fairy Tail's name. He's also expressing his opinion and in a family like you all claim to be, that's perfectly reasonable.". "He's totally right. I think all of us should follow in our lead rather than the old coward. I can't wait to inherit this place and kick all of you weakling out being that we'll be the strongest guild! Demanding only respecting rather than be a joke!" said Laxus.

He laughed as he said,"Your days are outnumbered losers! Things will be a lot different around here when I'm in charge so have fun looking for work somewhere else!". "While I may be all for you being the master Laxus, tell me how you'll be a good leader. Your grandfather isn't a good leader since a good leader doesn't leave his soldiers to die." said Zane. "Don't get cocky Zane. I may respect you since you're willing to take action but defeating Prude Knight isn't that hard." said Laxus.

Erza shouted,"What do you say?!". "You're weak Prude Knight since you're still wearing that armor. I could have defeated you with a single move but I decided to be nice and give you a chance. Oh and I'm thankful that you didn't make fun of Kaida, Levy, and Sly. If you did, lets just say that you'll be regretting every moment of your pathetic life." said Zane with his eyes glowing red. The crowd of wizards gasped at Zane with them shocked to see Zane challenge Laxus like that.

Wakaba said,"Is he really going to fight Laxus?!". "He did challenge one of the former ten wizard saints after all but this won't be good." said Macao. "Zane. Don't fight him." said Erza. "And this is what I have to say to you." said Zane, flipping her off. Laxus laughed as he said,"That's totally a perfect response to Prude Knight's orders! So are you ready to fight me? I hope you're willing to give me a challenge.". "That's my line Sparky." said Zane.

The two glared at each other with Lauxs's glare could kill a person being that the person would have been struck with a lightning a thousand time over. "Wow. I guess Laxus isn't scared of Zane using that really big form of his." whispered Happy. "Yeah. I wish that I could fight that guy instead." said Natsu, punching his fist into an open palm. "Yeah no. You would be nothing more than a fly to him Natsu since he's better with his magic than you are." said Sly.

Zane smiled with him saying,"You call everyone here weak but during the war, I wondered where you were. That's right. You were being a coward yourself. I mean Lucy even fought against Second Place and Lugnut. So I have to ask and be honest with little old me. You didn't show up because you were scared of Second Place or Juvia? Those two were the two strongest on the enemy side and I'm sure despite your elemental advantage, Juvia could have beaten you.".

This comment caused Laxus to see red. Everyone's eyes widened at Zane's words being that he was either being brave or stupid. I think most of the time, it's the same thing but that's just me. "You got guts Zane and I like that but I need to teach you to respect your elders." said Laxus, with his lightning swirling around his arm. "And like I said before, you keep stealing my lines and how about you prove it Sparky?" said Zane, taunting him with both hands. A vein appeared on Laxus's face after that.

He roared as he fired a lightning bolt out of his fist. Zane easily dodged it with him punching Laxus in the face. It felt like he was hit directly by a magic mobile being that Laxus was sent flying across the construction site and several tables. He crashed into a repaired wall, causing rubble onto him but enough to bury him. Laxus raised his head to see Zane cracking his right knuckles. "You're too slow Sparky! I owe you a beat down and I intended to deliver! Sly! Music time!" said Zane.

He threw the Akostar his phone. "Gotcha partner!" said Sly, catching it. She pressed a button on it as a song came out of it. Zane nodded as he said in a fighting pose,"Come on Laxus. Get up. I still need to make you learn your place.". Other than the music, silence filled the area as everyone in Fairy Tail was dumbstruck by what they just saw. Laxus, one of Fairy Tails strongest wizards was just punched by Zane being other two people could lay a hit on him. Those two are the Coward and Ripoff.   

Laxus got up in silent anger, dusting off his cape and shirt. "Nice punch Zane. Didn't even need to use those takeovers of yours. You're going to suffer for this. Really hope Ever doesn't mind you looking bruised after I beat you up." said Laxus. His body was emitting lightning like a turbine about to exploded. The superhero took a deep breath with his body was slowly getting covered in emerald green ,with an obsidian black tint, flames.   

It seems to be wild but it’s actually focused. Upon doing this, the flames begin to roar like a jet engine and it’s quite loud. It’s also an cocoon of oppressive heat. Several strands of his hair floats above him which flows in the breeze. They spike up within minutes upon activating it. The flames closes to Zane glow black, being extremely hot. His body is covered in the emerald green flames being that there are black particles dancing over his body like the spots on a lava lamp.

His eyes have an vivid and celestial, molten gold color to them. His entire body is covered in the same scales aka AZM (Archon Zero Master) aka reddish black ,metallic, scales with a flame like pattern to them. His teeth grows sharper ,looking more like fangs that wouldn’t be far off from a normal dragon and snake, and he grows a reptile like tongue that would fit the description. His feet and hands turn themselves into very sharp, deadly talons and claws respectively.

He grows a long tail being that the end is an arrow-headed spade and the tip of the tail has a sizable flame to the end. Zane’s flames has three ,meteor, sized fireballs orbiting around him with a small dark purple ring swirling around the spheres. His flames in this mode are extremely bright, being that it can be seen from miles away. It’s being called a beacon of justice, the spirit of a hero, and his strength to win no matter what.

Zane said,"I hope you can handle this heat because while I may agree with you on what you said about those four, you're making Lynn cry you know that right?!". Laxus was dead quiet with Zane saying,"Oh that's right. I know you. Too cool to admit your feelings but news flash! You do care about them. Lucy almost died because of Lugnut! Natsu went all out on him and if he fell, I would have beaten Gajeel to an inch of his life like I did with Second Place in his place!".

The hero smiled with him saying,"You probably get off on putting others down! Time for you to learn your place and I'm the one who'll teach you it!". He smashed both of his fists together, causing the flames around his body to increase. The two slowly advanced toward each other being that Erza stood in front of them. "Enough you two! Nakama don't fight each other like this!" ordered Erza. She thought Zane was over his head and going to get himself killed.

Erza was well aware of his strength but to her, he wasn't on Laxus's level. I mean she is wrong but Erza isn't the best at judging ones strength especially when that someone is holding back a lot. "Move right now Prude Knight. If you don't, I can't beat the crap out of Laxus which I really want to do and you'll be burned." said Zane. Lucy turned to Sly with her saying,"Shouldn't you try and stop him?! He needs to be the bigger man here!".

Sly smiled as she said,"He is Lucy. Zane has fought guys like Laxus before and always have come out on top. He's been doing that since high school and when his friend Brad was a bully. Brad was trying to prove that he was a better person through force. My point is that Laxus is a small drop in an ocean of enemies who Zane has beaten over his life. Get some popcorn. This is going to be a very good fight.". "Enough!" roared Laxus.

Laxus charged toward Zane ,moving past Erza at lightning fast speed, being that he was going to deliver Zane a haymaker punch. Zane dodged it being that he swiped at Laxus using his tail, send him flying for a few feet. "Too slow Sparky! Lightning is supposed to be fast but you're slow like Prude Knight is toward her feelings!" said Zane. Laxus groaned in pain being that he could feel the pain from Zane's tail swipe and his back was slightly on fire. These flames are slightly hotter than Natsu's.

The lightning wizard glared at him with him saying,"I knew you were stronger but on the same level as the drifter, I think this will be good!". "Same here." said Zane. Without warning, Laxus charged at Zane being he released a 360 degree expansion of his fire and forced Laxus to stop in his tracks. He was pushed back from the force but smirked. "Do you honestly think those weak ass flames could defeat me? I think they're weaker than Hatchlings!" said Laxus.

Zane smirked as he said,"I'm just warm up but soon, you'll practically beg me for it.". "You say that but you're going to die!". He unleashed a large burst of lighting from his hand that struck Zane as it caused a small explosion with a dust cloud stirred up. "Zane!" yelled the Fairy Tail Wizards being that Kaida was silent being that she was sure her dad was fine. "Heh. He was nothing more than talk after all!" said Laxus, laughing.

He heard,"Come on Sparky. You should know that overconfidence is something you shouldn't have in a fight especially against your betters.". The dust cleared as something rolled out. It was Zane in Gluttony Form. He looked different however being that he was in a ball shape with his short arms, legs, and tail sticking out. "What happened to him?!" said Natsu. "Papa took a bite of Laxus's lightning! Gluttony Form is super good at eating and spitting!" said Kaida.

Erza looked at the form with disdained being that she said,"Why that thing?". "Ah. Have a flashback to when you were like him Erza?" said Stella, smirking. "Shut up!" said Erza. "What the hell? Are you some kind of freak?!" said Laxus. His attack has enough power to knock out most people he fought but this guy had taken it and devoured it. "Sorry but here's the thing. I'm a superhero and I think it's time you learned the power of this little guy!" said Zane.

He opened up his mouth as a giant green energy beam came flying at Laxus. The blonde was stunned by the attack being that he was sent careening back into a wall as another pile of stacked stones fell on top of him. Zane's stomach went back to normal as his form's signature weapon appeared. "And that's what overconfidence gets you. You're not fighting against a mook Laxus but the Earth's protector for over nine hundred years!" said Zane.

The jaws of every wizard present dropped in awe and disbelief. Zane had spent Laxus flying not once but three times within a few minutes being that the song had changed once again. Erza's mouth was open and her eyes were widened as dinner plates. "You've got to be kidding me. This thing can actually fight!" yelled Erza. "Yeah. I just didn't tell you because meh. I use my brains to win rather than my guns." said Zane, shrugging and flexing.

Crisis Judgement went off as debris from the wall went flying outward. A lightning bolt shot out and Zane dodge it by eating it using all seven of his tongues, freaking Lucy out. Zane was pushed back a bit being that he landed. Laxus blasted out from the pile with lightning coursing around his body. The wizard's eyes were golden white and burning with fury. Some of the wizards watching took cautious steps back. "You bastard! You're dead!" roared Laxus.

He sprinted toward Zane with him smiling. "I got a better idea. I'll live instead." said Zane. He fired out three small green energy beams with all three missing Laxus completely and covered the area around in dust. Zane switched into Bull Form and charged toward Laxus. The two clashed with their impact creating a small shockwave. The two backed off with Laxus throwing an electric-charged fist at Zane.

Zane blocked it by grabbing Laxus's wrist and put the lightning wizard into a choke hole. "I'll let you go if you say uncle but your beatdown will happening!" said Zane. "You may have defeated that old fart Jose but you're not on my level!" yelled Laxus. He released a powerful explosion of lightning from his body, covered the two in sparks. "Cute. Let me show you what I can do. So long, Gay Laxus!" said Zane.

He released Laxus from the chokehold and began spinning in a circle. Zane threw Laxus across the air and the lizard wizard began spinning in midair as he landed. He skid back a few feet and growled at Zane. "You'll pay for that!" yelled Laxus. "You keep saying that but why do I doubt you?" said Zane, charging toward Laxus. The two clashed once again being that Zane landed two punches right into Laxus's smug looking face as Laxus returned the favor with a powerful gut punch.

As this happened, the song changed once again. Laxus growled as he released lightning, shocking the bull in the process. Before Zane could do anything, Laxus punched him in the gut with a powerful haymaker and kicked Zane right into a wall, back first. It broke as Zane stood back up. Zane caught Laxus's shoulder tackle. "You may be fast but I'm faster got it punk?!" said Zane as his eyes were filled with determination and strength.

Zane grabbed Laxus and tossed him back with the song changing again. Before the lightning wizard could recovered, Zane said,"Forest Emperor Jaws of a Overflowing Beast!". Laxus was swallowed up by a giant wooden mouth that appeared under him in seconds. It was about 50 feet tall and 100 feet wide. "Wow. I can't believe it. Laxus is getting pummeled by Zane." said Gray, impressed with his friend. "That's enough Zane!" yelled Erza. "Stay out of this and get back!" roared Zane.

The wooden mouth was destroyed by a giant bolt of lighting, producing an large crater. Laxus stood in the center of the crater with him saying,"Zane challenge me to a fight and I'm going to him one got it?!". Erza, the rest of Team Natsu, and Stella narrowed their eyes while getting ready to join in the fight to help Zane. "THIS IS MY FIGHT AND I DON'T NEED HELP!" roared Zane. Erza was going to object but Zane's look screamed determined.

Zane slammed his hands on the ground with him saying,"Forest Emperor Bramble Outburst!". The lightning wizard saw several large bramble vines come out of the ground around Zane. They went toward Laxus being that he was forced to dodge them or destroyed them with the latter option being the most common option. During this, Zane deactivated Bull Form and glowing bright purple. As Laxus landed on the ground, he was suddenly smacked into a wall by something fast.

Laxus fell on his back being that he looked up to see Swift Prime standing there with his visor down at the moment and the song changed once again. Like with Bone Prime, it got an upgrade but since we didn't see it in Fairy Legion. I'll be showing it off. He's eight feet tall with him having a slim yet muscular body. It now looks more aerodynamic than before. His eyes changes color to royal blue with it keeping its oval shape.

He still has sharp teeth inside of his mouth and the markings under his eyes disappeared. His head is still in the shape of a helmet with him having a triangle shaped nose. His helmet is a black color with a single white line going from the top of his helmet and continues onto the chin plate and stops at his neck. He has a molten gold visor ,which is a Z shape, that can flip down while running, making to get bugs in his eyes and mouth. It wasn’t a problem before but it’s nice to have.

It also has a HUD that loads up a map, telling him where to go if needed. It also glows constantly when it's done. His body is still covered in royal blue scales and like before, this isn’t obvious thanks to him wearing a black full body speed suit. In the middle of his suit and his torso, it has a crimson red arrow shaped symbol ,mixed with a fire, with the top of arrow pointing up toward his head.He has two hexagonal crimson red markings on each side of his torso below the armpits.

He wears silver elbow and knee-pads. His shoulders are sharp ,black, pauldron like extensions with sharp molten gold edges. His right arm is a large steel gray drill like appendage which looks it like belongs to Drill Form. His left hand's fingers are three royal blue claws with a steel gray fingerless glove. He wears black boots. He has five white stripes on his arms and legs. He has his gray rocket boosters sticking out of his back with flames coming out of it.

He has two burnt orange dragon like wings which helps him stop easier. His body had a dark red aura/streak and the ground below him is covered in lightning. "Get up Sparky before the song changes once again." said Zane, taunting him. Laxus got back up with him bringing his hand up to the spot where Zane hit him. There was a bruise there and blood. He squeezed his hand with a shacking fist of anger as his lightning grew more intense. "You're dead now Alvarez!" yelled Laxus.

He threw away his cape with him disappearing in a flash of lightning. "My enemies keep saying that and spoiler alert. They're always wrong beyond belief." said Zane as the visor went down and he vanished in a dark red blur. "Where did they go?!" said Lucy. The next second, a loud boom was heard like the sound of thunder. The two fighters reappeared with Laxus falling on the ground and rolled around before getting back up.

He wasn't sure how Zane was catching up to him and what was up with his music? Who is this Mike person and now the song was singing about pizza. Zane reappeared being that he didn't suffer any damage. "Come on! You're a user of Lightning! Speed it up! Clair is faster than you!" said Zane with the hero taunting Laxus using his left hand. Laxus growled as he raised the lightning from his body to the highest level for speed before the two were gone once again.

Jet was in awe of the two's speed being that there was in no way in hell he could reach their speed in his life time. "Wow. Those two are so fast and this music makes no sense!" said Jet. "Zane has a very selective taste in music and this is from a fighting game he plays." said Sly, shrugging. A bench got destroyed as Laxus appeared in front of it. He was gone in a flash of lighting. The sounds of them physically clashing sounding like thunder.

Everyone in Fairy Tail felt these shockwaves emitting every time they heard thunder. With each boom the two created, the benches, ground, stools, and walls were destroyed as the members of Fairy Tail could only hear the two impacting and sometimes they could see either Laxus or Zane before they vanished. It was mainly Laxus since he was getting thrown around by Zane despite having only one hand in this form.

In their world, everyone looked they were in slow motion or watching a video that was going through a delay. "Agh!" said Laxus as he swung his fist to punch Zane in the chest but Zane dodged it. He nailed Laxus in the jaw with his drill arm. This causing him to be sent flying into the back wall and appearing once again. Zane followed suit as he said,"And I win our little spar. If you want to keep up, try harder buddy.".

Hearing this, Laxus got up and developed a dark look before his body exploded with new power. "I hoped this was going to be good and the battle is getting started!" said Laxus. The two got ready for round two with Zane deactivating Swift Form and the song changing once again. Laxus threw a good barrage of lightning bolts at Zane being that Zane caught them using his telekinesis before throwing them back at him.

Laxus stood there as the bolts hit him. "That actually ticked." said Laxus. "I was kinda hoping that it did because you just got a one way ticket on the human centrifuge! Lucky you!" said Zane. He was now Gravity Form with him increased the gravity around Laxus, making a large crater around the lightning wizard. "Hey! I can't move!" said Laxus. "No shit Sparky. I increased the gravity around you so unless you height the same as ten blue whales. You're not leaving." said Zane.

Laxus tried to break out but he saw Zane walking toward him. "Bye bye." said Zane, releasing the gravity around Laxus. However, the lightning wizard was sent flying into the air due to him having no gravity around him. Zane deactivated Gravity Form with him turning into Spring Form and went after Laxus. Before Laxus could recover from Zane's attack, Zane was behind him and was in Liger Form just as the song changed once again.

Laxus's limbs were grabbed by the humanoid feline with Zane saying to Laxus,"Time for an Astral Piledriver Sparky brother!". The lightning wizard was slammed back into the ground by the feline as Happy cheered. "Awesome!" said Happy. Vance shook his head as Zane deactivated Liger Form and turned into Salamander Form. The humanoid lizard released a giant wave of ice around Laxus, freezing the entire area and Laxus was in the center of it.

Laxus broke out of his ice prison easily with him saying,"You're dead meat now Alvarez! Lightning Eradication!". Laxus held out his arms in front of him as he began gathering lightning and focusing it in front of his mouth. The lightning transformed into several very sharp and point spears with Laxus launching them toward Zane. Laxus knew the spell's destructive power being that it could easily pierce through stone and due to the speed, it's hard to avoid. It also moves like a laser beam.

Zane smiled as he turned into Fulmination Prime. He held out his eight electricity tentacles and they absorbed all of the lightning. "You know what they say Laxus. What goes around comes back harder than before! Vibration Roar!" said Zane. The form released a huge stream of dark red sound wave and had a noticeable bass sound to it. Laxus was sent flying away and went toward the ground before catching himself.

He noticed that Zane was gone before getting grabbed by something and thrown to the other side. He was also blasted in the back by red laser beams, making a divot in the ground. Laxus turned around to see something from the ninth circle/level of hell. He’s twice the size of an average human male being twelve feet tall. His body is very large and hulking with very noticeable muscles to him. He has no hair with his armor covering his head.  His skin is green with obsidian black patches.

It comes in the form of scales, and glowing and jagged red lines. These lines are revealed through the parts of his body that weren’t covered by his cybernetic armor or enhancements. It’s mainly shown on his arms, chest, legs, and shoulders. His arms and legs have its muscles woven together very much like rope. He wears a red, tube-like structure around his chin. It doesn’t mess with his six ,squid, facial tentacles that draped down being a nice looking full beard.

They also had the jagged red lines that covered his body. His interesting looking mask was covering his real mouth being that his mouth is a large seven-pointed red star marking and it has a crimson outline. His mouth is filled with razor-sharp teeth with several rows of them. He has two glowing red eyes with a dark outline around them. They were also screaming death and rage. He has dark red metallic spikes that extends from his body.

They're mainly in his arms and legs being that he has five in each arm and leg. He has long, curved black metallic spikes with making three points on each shoulder, two on his bulky forearms, and two on the sides of his hips. He wears black, skin-tight material over his body. It mainly covered the upper half of his body such as his chest, elbows, neck, and shoulders. He wears dark purple army camo pants with silver metal padding on his thighs and shins.

They don’t mess with the spikes in his legs. He wears a black belt. He wears a suit of dark red armor that goes over his body. He wears armored plates over his arms, chest, legs, torso, and shoulders that doesn’t mess with the metallic spikes. He wears metallic boots being that they have spikes on the sides of the boots. He wears a happuri helmet being that it covers his forehead and eyebrows, but it shows off his red eyes.

He wears black gauntlets with a small control console attached to the left gauntlet. It also has a dark purple “Z” over a silver circle and a blue and red gem embedded on the back of his right gauntlet. He also has a trident like hilt broadsword. This caused some of the weaker will members aka most of the ladies and a couple fellas to faint. "Warlord Form. Get up. I'm willing to kick your ass despite you being weaker than dirt under my boots." said Zane in a deep and intimidating voice.

Laxus got back up being that despite his injuries, he wasn't going to give up. The crowd was both impressed and scared how neither of the two were going to give up. They charged toward each other like they have done several times but for some reason, they were stopped by two giant fists blocking the both of them while also breaking the ground. The two looked at the idiot who decided to stop them being that it was something that the two despised for different yet similar reason.

It was Makarov being that he was in his giant form but not at his full size. "That's enough! I will not have my S-Class Wizards fight each other unless I say so!" roared Makarov. Everyone looked to see the giant standing in between the two with the elderly man mad. He only gets this way when someone is real big trouble or someone hurts his children. Laxus and Zane looked at each other with Laxus saying with a smile,"Truce?".

Zane nodded as the two jumped toward Makarov with them both cocking their right fist back. "Stay out of this coward!/Stay out of this coward!" said the two. The two fists collided directly with Makarov's face, sending the titan into the ground and causing the entire town of Magnolia to shake thanks to the impact of their blow. The crowd of Fairy Tail wizards were shocked by this action as they all had an unanimous thought,"They're both dead.".

Laxus and Zane fist bumped upon landing on the ground with Laxus saying,"Oh wow Zane. That felt really good honestly. Been wanting to do that to him for years now. He's such a pain in the ass to deal with most of the time". "Yeah. I did on the first day we met. He was going to let the purple fire wizard guy die because of something stupid like that. So do you feel any better man? I could feel how mad you were/are right now." said Zane.

The lightning wizard looked at Zane with him saying,"A bit Zane but I still hate the weaklings that the coward decided to invite into the shame. You, your partner, daughter, and Levy are good for MY Fairy Tail. Why the hell do you have to hit some hard?". He was rubbing the large bruise on his cheek that was given to him from Swift Prime. "I really don't hold back when someone I consider to be a friend is being an idiot." said Zane.

Laxus nodded as he said,"So do you think he's going to kick us out?". "Laxus. It's the coward. He couldn't do something like that because he sees you as the kid from back in the day and in my sakes, a troubled old soul." said Zane. "Ah." said Laxus. Makarov rose back up with him having a large bruise on his face and his nose was bleeding. "That looks painful." said Laxus. "Yeah. You should just retire Coward and give it to Laxus already." said Zane.

Makarov's body was glowing with light with him saying,"Both of you! This petty fight is over and if neither of you two stop, I'll personally see to stop you myself!". Makarov's face screamed that he wasn't happy about the two fighting like children. Zane began laughing with him saying,"That's fucking funny Coward! Your power is weak. I could handle you very easy mind you but me and Laxus are done right?".

Laxus nodded as he said,"Yeah. Later Zane. Next time, we'll fight for real and I'll win.". "You say that but who was winning this fight mainly? I let you hit me in our fight because I felt so bad for the coward's grandson. And it's on." said Zane. Laxus smiled as he vanished in a flash of lightning. Zane tuned to a still angry Makarov with Zane saying,"What? Sometimes, you need a good punch in the jaw to make you feel right in the world and to get the hint.”.

Makarov looked at Zane with him saying,"Deactivate your form right now.". "How about you shrink down to your pathetic self? Oh wait. That's all the fucking time." said Zane. Despite the rest of Fairy Tail including Laxus being scared of Makarov when he was mad, Zane wasn't since he was much stronger than Makarov. Makarov shrunk back down with Zane saying,"And that's why I don't respect you but I respect Laxus. He has balls and you do not.".

Makarov began rubbing his temples trying to ease the mental wrinkles he was developing from the duo of Laxus and Zane. "Both of you are going to give me a heart attack one of these days and you really do need a serious attitude adjustment." said Makarov. "People have been telling me that for centuries and like I said to them, no way in hell am I changing. I'm precious." said Zane with him deactivating Warlord Form.

Makarov looked at Zane with him saying,"Do you understand what you've done?". "Um. I taught your grandson a lesson that YOU should have done a long time ago and our fight would have been so epic. I mean come on coward. Laxus is easily the top five in the guild. I bet he could take all of the weaklings watching us without breaking a sweat mainly Prude Knight. I mean armor in general is a conductor which means that his lightning will hurt a lot." said Zane, crossing his arms.

Makarov sighed as he sighed. Sly was right about one thing involving Zane being that he was a complete mystery. This includes people who've known him for a long period of time like Sly ,who is his closest partner, only has about a 10-30% understand of Zane. Danny and the members of Team Legion Zero know Zane the best at a solid 80%. In this dimension, Zane has done more in the month that he has been here than any wizard in their life.

He defeated four dark guilds (Dark Outriders, Eisenwald, Ruined Emerald, and Valiant Wraiths) by himself mostly since he did have help with the first two. He defeated two of Zeref's demons being Deliora and Lullaby ,whose name isn't threatening at all but power is fight me, with relative ease. His biggest feat ,at least to the Magic Council, was defeating Jose, one of the Ten Wizards Saint being the seventh strongest one.

Up to this point in Fairy Legion, Zane hasn't lost yet being that he wasn't defeated in Fairy Legion Chapter 25 in my opinion. I personally classified a defeat is someone who has lost and no longer has a chance of winning. Zane could still fight aka had a chance of winning so he didn't lose. My point is that no one has being able to stop Zane and having him fight Laxus like that, all of Magnolia could be destroyed. "Why must you make him become his father Zane?" said Makarov.

Zane rolled his eyes as he said,"Excuse me Coward but this current Laxus is all because of you not even reprimanded him once.". "I know. What do you expect me to do?" said Makarov. "Teach him a lesson. Spank the kid for all I care. Show him that you're the master for some reason that I'll never get why." said Zane. Makarov sighed as he said,"I'll do that the next time I see him. I'll be going to my office to relax. Try not to cause trouble before leaving.". "No promises Coward." said Zane,

Makarov walked away as Zane rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "So do you guys really think he's going to do that or not? My prediction is 99% no to 1% yes. Got to give him some benefit of the doubt here." said Zane. "No." said all of Team Legion Zero except for Twilight. "So don't you have something to say to the crowd watching you aka a deep and cheesy speech? I mean they're waiting for you to say something if anything." said Twilight.

Zane nodded as he looked to the crowd with them looking at him. "Fine. All of you better listen to me. Don't you dare listen to Laxus. Everyone in this dam guild is weak is some shape but do I see them as trash like Laxus apparently do? Yes I very much do. Some are us are strong because of our magic power, combat prowess, intelligence, and just being a good person." said Zane. With that, Zane was referring to Kaida, Stella, Levy, and Lucy respectively.

Zane smiled as he said,"I'll agree with this entire mess being Lucy's fault hands down. If she just went to her daddy and told him what she want to do with her life from the very start, this all could have been solved without this dump being remodeled or no injuries but what can you do when you're working with a spoiled brat like her? I'm not perfect either. I was once scared of my real power because of the damage and pain it could cause to others around me.".

Zane clenched his fists as he said,"I pushed people away but I eventually learned that I shouldn’t be scared of any part of myself. The good or bad. I'll never regret anything I ever say in my life because I don't see myself. No one in this Omniverse is perfect but we shouldn’t focus on our weakness like a bully would but on our strength instead. We can learn from every mistakes and loss to be stronger than those who focus on their weakness.”.

Sly smiled as she flew over to him. "Why is that you can be both the inspirational type and an asshole at the same time?" said Sly. Kaida and Levy walked over to Zane as Zane said,"Who knows? I just do whatever comes to mind and I'm going to rest before we go on our job Levy.". "Sure. We also have to make sure she gets approved for the guild before we go." said Levy. "Really?! She's going to join the guild now! She's awesome!" said Kaida. "Yeah she is." said Zane.

Juvia ,from her hiding spot, heard this and blushed. Ever since meeting Kaida, the bluenette rain woman liked her and treated her as her daughter with Zane. After this, the guild had calmed down with Zane's group walking over to the bar. "So Mira. Do you mind explain to me how a jerk like Laxus could be guild master?" said Lucy. "Because he's awesome obviously." said Zane, sitting down at the bar. "You know that you're the minority for thinking that right?" said Levy.

Zane shrugged as he said,"I'm usually am but at least I have an opinion unlike you sheeple.". "I may hate saying this but we may not have a choice in the matter. Since Laxus is Master's flesh and blood grandson, he has the highest chance of becoming Guild Master and will do exactly what he threatens to do." said Mira. "And when that happens, it's going to be awesome." said Zane. "Is there seriously no one else who can take the job?" said Lucy.

Mira frowned as she said,"Not really Lucy. Laxus is at the top of a very short list of people who could assume command if the master were to retire.". "No really? I can't believe it. Someone who talks like that about his Nakama like that shouldn't be our master." said Lucy. "I heavily disagree Lucy." said Zane. "Of course you would. You're totally man crushing on him." said Sly. "Obviously. I mean he's totally my type just like Ignacio is. I really need to go see him soon." said Zane.

Sly nodded as she said,"Unlike his sister, he's enjoying his retirement. Both devils kinda wish to see their favorite Cross-Species.". "Okay. I will eventually and Lucy. Laxus does cares about you guys even you in his own special way. He needs some time to cool off and maybe mature but that may not happen if the Coward doesn't teach him a well need lesson. If I had to pick anyone out of all of you to be master, he would be my top choice.” said Zane.

Mira nodded as she said,"There are rumors floating around about that. Master Makarov refuses to retire because of that.". "Wow. Seriously?" said Lucy. "So if I force him to an early retirement, Laxus could be master am I right?" said Zane. Natsu glared at Zane with him saying,"Don't worry Luce. I'll make sure that Laxus isn't our master and you won't help him right Zane?". "Pretty sure I will since he should have retired at least sixteen years ago." said Zane.

Sly nodded as she said,"But to be fair, humans in this dimension may live longer than humans of our dimension.". "Yeah but since we're from the Prime Dimension, I thought sixty two would be the normal retirement age." said Zane. "Natsu. You need to calm down." said Erza as she placed her hand on Natsu's shoulder. "There is no reason to mess around with the guild's two bad eggs." said Erza as Happy flew over to Zane. "She's talking about you and Laxus Zane." whispered Happy.

After hearing this, Zane smiled and he picked up Happy with his mind, throwing him away. "And he's gone!" said Kaida, clapping. "You're really your father's daughter aren't you?" said Mira. "Yep and being an Alvarez is the best." said Kaida. As this was going on, Erza finally noticed that the brand new mark on Lucy's neck finally. You may be wondering how it's here since Lucy has the ability to hide it from others.

Lets just say that Lucy wasn't focused on that due to the fight and the news that Laxus has the best candidate to become the fourth guild master of Fairy Tail. "Lucy. What's up with your new mark on your neck?" said Erza being that Lucy and Natsu exchanged a quick look. "Can we talk in private Erza for a second? It's something important." said Natsu. "Um sure Natsu. There is a secluded spot behind the construction site where we can talk." said Erza, walking toward the spot

Natsu shared one last look at Lucy before going after Erza like a dog. "So since those two are going to be busy for a while, is there any other candidates for guild masters?" said Lucy. "Yes. Any one of our sixth guild masters could be guild master." said Mira. "Um Mira. While I'm not against you being master, do you really think Zane would make a good guild master?" said Gray. He along with the trio of Happy, Stella and Vance joined the group at the bar.

Zane looked hurt as he said,"I'm hurt Gray but I would refuse. I already a company and a kingdom of Phantoms so someone else like Laxus could handle that while I enjoy just being the guild's number one asshole. No one is taking that from me.". "So the other candidates are?" said Stella. "Mystogan is never here and an a solo act. Erza probably couldn't handle the responsibility and stress for being Guild Master." said Mira.

Vance nodded as he said,"Yeah. I have to agree because I did some research on Makarov before he become guild master. He aged a lot due to age and stress.". "Just like most political leaders." said Zane as Sly agreed with that statement. "There is also Gildarts." said Mira. "Who is Gildarts?" said Lucy. "I think he's an S-Class Wizard but I haven't met him once since I've been a member of the guild. What about you three?" said Stella, pointing to Lucy, Sly, and Zane.

Sly shrugged as she said,"Never heard about him before but I think Zane had.". "Yeah. He's never around and I think Laxus called him a drifter." said Zane. "Gildarts is the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail next to Makarov and unlike Laxus, he's a really nice guy." said Happy. "And has beaten Natsu up more times than Zane has." said Gray. "Wow. That's impressive." said Vance. "And I could easily beat him no problem. So why not ask him to do it?" said Zane.

Mira sighed as she said,"Well, I think you and him share a similar reason for not doing that. He's more of a fighter rather than a guild master. I also don't think he could do paper work and could stay in the guild for a long period of time.". "He sounds awfully like Darin and Theron." said Sly. "And those two are?" said Stella. "Two of my friends/teachers in the Alliance. Lets just say that they make your guys destruction look tiny in comparison." said Zane. "Ah." said the group around him. 

While this was going on, Erza and Natsu were having a private conversation. Once both wizards were in private, Natsu double checked to make sure that no one followed them. Juvia was there but she's really good at hiding being able to hide from a dragon slayer's senses but not Zane's. "Natsu. What's so important that we have to talk in private like this." said Erza. "It's about Luce." said Natsu with the knight raising an eyebrow. "You wondered why she looked so different." said Natsu. 

Erza nodded as she said,"Yes. I noticed the strange mark on her neck. It's strange since I haven't noticed it on her before today.". "Well, there is a very specific reason Luce looks like that. I really don't want you to get upset or jump to conclusion. Can you do that for me?" said Natsu as he placed his hands on Erza's shoulders. "Sure thing Natsu. Please tell me what's going on. You're really starting to worry me." said a concerned Erza.

Natsu took a deep breath to calm himself before he was going to drop a bomb ,maybe an Fat Man or Little Boy, on Erza. "Luce and I are dating." said Natsu. This news caused Erza to be silent with her eventually saying,"Come again. I don't think I heard you right.". "Luce and I are in a relationship Erza. She has that tattoo because we're mates." said Natsu with him seeing realization flash right through her eyes. "So you two...." said Erza.

Natsu nodded as he squeezed Erza's shoulders. "Yeah. It was about a week ago but there is something you need to know. It has to do with me being raised by a dragon king. Even thought I'm with Lucy, I still lo--" said Natsu. "Congratulations. I'm really happy for the two of you." said Erza, cutting Natsu off in the middle of his explanation. "Erza. Please leave me finish." said Natsu. The knight removed herself from his grasp and she began to walk away. "Erza wait!" said Natsu, reaching out for her.

Erza smiled at Natsu being that even a blind person could tell was fake. "It's fine Natsu. You have no need to explain anything. I understand completely. Now how about we get the team together and go on our mission?". "Okay." said Natsu, hanging his head. He tightly balled his fists and clenched his teeth. "Dam it. I really messed this up. Why does Erza have to be so stubborn?! Why wouldn't you let me to tell you that I love you too?! We can still be together!" thought Natsu.

Erza walked away to meet up with the others at the bar being that once she got a good distance away from Natsu, she hung her head and leaned against a support beam. She was trying to hide her tears that were going down her cheeks. "Damn it! I waited too long! I lost him to Lucy! I can't have a chance to tell him how I feel!" thought Erza, wiping away her tears. Poor Erza. She feels real bad but don't worry. She'll get her chance eventually maybe in like five plus chapters.

It all depends on when I start writing the Tower of Heaven Arc. A few minutes after they were able to get back to normal, Erza and Natsu were at the bar with the others. "Um Gray. Your clothes are gone again." said Stella. Gray looked down and saw that he was in his boxers again. "Zane. Do you have something that could keep Gray's clothes on? Kinda sick of seeing him in the nude." said Vance. "I think. Have to check the catalog of inventions and stuff in my house. I got a lot there." said Zane.

Erza smiled as she placed her hands on her hips. She may look happy but lets just say that right now in Erza's head, she's fuming mad. "We've been working together since the Eisenwald incident so I guess we're a team now." said Erza. This statement caused most of the guild to look at her. "You can't be serious. I thought it was a thing since that day." said Wakaba. "Erza may be strong but she isn't very bright when it comes to be social." said Cana, earning a nod from Macao.

Erza looked at Stella and Vance with her saying,"Stella and Vance. How would you two like to join our team? The seven of us could make an impressive team.". "Sure. I'm game. You guys were my first real friends in Fairy Tail after you almost had me killed. However, I'm willing to forgive and forget so what about you Vance?" said Stella. "Do I have a choice in the matter? I'm going to protect you from all danger Stella no matter if I'm working with him." said Vance.

He pointed to Happy who smiled. "So are you sure about me being on your team? I mean I'm not exactly the strongest wizard." said Lucy. "Not someone like you! Luce! It has to be you!" said Natsu with a toothy grin. "Aye!" said Happy. "It honestly would feel weird not having you on our team since we're you know." said Natsu, pointing to his neck. Lucy smiled as she got what he really mean with her nodding.

Cana smiled as she said,"So since Erza confirmed it, I guess they're our strongest team.". "Yeah. It's about time!" said Macao. "Is Happy and Vance strong though? I mean Lucy is slightly stronger than the felines." said Wakaba, getting blasted by Vance's weapon. "I know that I would be done for if she sicced that psycho Aquarius on me." said Alzack. Zane was silent as Athena said,"I think I know what we need to do soon.". "Yep. Tell Nerida what the plan is." said Zane.

Bisca smirked as she said,"She may not be the physically strongest but she has a pretty sharp mouth just like our resident asshole and a big heart.". "I have to work with him?" said Gray. "If you two don't want to work together, I got some more training ideas. I think I'll use Nemo this time and just maybe, Orb Thunder will return." said Zane, smiling. The ice wizard shivered in fear as he nodded his head. "I'm perfectly fine with it!" said Gray with Vance making a whipped sound effect.

Happy looked serious as he said,"What about Sly and Zane? I mean Kaida is only four and Levy is part of Shadow Gear.". "Yeah. I don't want Sly and Zane to be all alone." said Natsu. "I'm not since I got friends and Levy is part of my team." said Zane. "Hold on. I thought you could be only be on one team." said Gray. Makarov ,who appeared from out of nowhere, said,"Nope. Wizards can be on more than one team so I guess it's you two plus Sly huh Levy?".

Levy nodded as she said,"Yep. So why are are you out of your office?". "I have an very important announcement to make so I need all of you to listen up." said Makarov. The short man instantly got everyone's attention. "Despite Zane's very unique perspective on everything, I realized something today." said Makarov. "That's a good way of saying that I'm an asshole Coward. Is your very big announcement is that you're going to announce Laxus as the next master?" said Zane.

The crowd was silent as Zane said,"Wow. Tough crowd. I'm hurt.". "No. That isn't it. Zane has the key components of a wizard. He has intelligence, power, and strength but an S-Class wizard has both a strong conviction and heart. You've told me and the others in the guild about the countless times that you willingly put yourself in life threatening situations not for a reward but to help a single person from danger." said Makarov.

He smiled as he said,"And that's what makes someone a real wizard or superhero. For a wizard isn't powerful by the quality or size of their magic but by their heart. And on that note, I'm grateful in officially making Zane Vincent Alvarez into becoming the next S-Class Wizard of Fairy Tail! He shares the same rank of Gildarts, Erza, Laxus, Mira, and Mystogan.". The crowd cheered at this with Natsu saying,"Sweet! This means that you can take us on official S-Class Jobs Zane!".         

Zane smiled as he said,"Thanks Coward but honestly, I rather just be a pseudo S-Class Wizard.". At this moment, everyone stopped as they went wide eye with shock and silent as well. "You can't be serious? You're going to give up the chance to become S-Class!" said Macao. "Yeah. I mean I know that you like pissing everyone off but this doesn't happen every day." said Wakaba. "Why would you give this up!? You've done so much for the Guild and that makes you a real man!" said Elfman.

He was crying tears of the manly variety which is just tears but they belong to a real man. Just wanted to make that clear. At this, Droy and Jet scooted back with them saying,"Better stay away before he does something brash.". "Smart." said Laki, overhearing them. "Come on Zane. This is the perfect way to show respect because the real S-Class test is way tougher than this one." said Cana with her sipping her beer.

Lucy nodded as she said,"I may disagree with you a lot but I really think you're S-Class like Erza is being that you're part of the reason why I'm still here as a member of Fairy Tail.". "You can't turn it down like this! I've been working my ass off trying and become S-Class just for the next test and when you earn it, you're going to throw it away like it was nothing?! What the hell is wrong with you man?!" roared Natsu.

Makarov was crying with regret. "Come on Zane. You can't just decided not to be an S-Class after you defeated Jose! You're famous and the magic council practically demanded that I make you our guild's sixth S-Class wizard. You were there at the meeting!" said Makarov. Zane blinked with him saying,"Um Levy dear. Mind telling me if I said that I was going to not be one?". "Nope. You just want to be a Pseudo S-Class Wizard because it sounds cooler." said Levy.

Stella looked at Zane with her sighing. "Why is that so obvious with you?" said Stella. "It's Zane. He does that often and I know all too well. He practically refused becoming President of the United States since he didn't want his hair to go gray and also he wasn't going to take it from the two pretty good candidates at the time." said Sly. "It's also something that Warrior did and also being a king is way better than being a president easily." said Zane.

He smiled as he said,"But whatever I don't care. I'll be your S-Class wizard despite me being a Magnus rather than a sorcerer or wizard. I'm just being semantic at this point now.". After hearing this, everyone stopping their straight up bitching. "Under one condition." said Zane. "Okay. What is that condition?" said Makarov. Zane smiled as he walked away and the crowd looked at Levy who smiled. "You'll see soon Master." said Levy.

The crowd heard a female voice,"Um Zane! I'm not ready for this! I'm not dressed right and they hate me!". "So? I mean me, Kaida, and Levy like you along with Elfman and Mira so that's already six people who liked you compared to the hundred plus people in your old guild who didn't." said Zane's voice. The superhero came back with Juvia by his side. "My good friend Juvia Lockser aka the Rain Woman of the former Phantom Lord joins Fairy Tail and be a part of Team Maelstrom." said Zane. 

At this moment, everyone but the trio of Kaida, Levy, and Sly were shocked by this including Juvia who knew about Levy and Zane's plan of getting her to join Fairy Tail. She was a former member of Phantom Lord, one of their Element Four, and she was part of the trio who kidnapped Lucy in the first place. The latter of which is because Zone 2 ,in Raven Form, giving her to Sol. Juvia could feel the stares of fear and hated aimed at her when Zane said that.

She sighed with her looking at the ground and figured out the truth about what was going on. "I knew it. They can't accept me at all. Thank you Kaida, Levy, Sly, and Zane but I have to go. They won't let me join." said Juvia. "I doubt that. Am I right Coward?" said Zane. "Sure. Why not? I don't mind at all." said Makarov. This caused everyone to went wide eye at this and shouted what in shock with this annoying Zane a good deal.

Zane smirked as he said,"I know that Juvia here was a part of Phantom Lord but heck, I've always been one to see the good in people and always give them a second choice to be a good being. A wise scholar once said that yesterday's enemy can become today's ally. I mean Gray and Hatchling are polar opposites but they get along decently.". "And the fact that she's a cutie. We could also use more of those in the guild. She may give Mira a way for her money in Sorcerer's Weekly!" said Makarov.

The crowd looked at their Master concerned for his well-being. "Ignore him Juvia. I mean me and Laxus do and we're fine. I promise you this. If everyone in the guild hates you, you'll always have my support and friendship. So come on. Join Fairy Tail being that we don't see you for having great magic power like Jose but as a good friend." said Zane. Juvia looked at Zane with her crying at bit as she cupped her mouth.

She looked at Zane with Kaida, Levy, and Sly standing beside him with the latter floating in the air. "I think I will. Thank you for having me all of you." said Juvia. Thanks to her stalking senses, she was being watched with it being because of Happy, Natsu, and Vance. The trio was looking at her very confused as Juvia said while hiding behind Zane,"Um. Can I help you three?". The two looked at her puzzled with her unable to take the concentration looks. "So who are you?" said Vance. 

Juvia almost fainted after hearing this from the cat. "Um. I'm sure Happy and Natsu would do this but you Vance? You met her before. Remember when I fought her?" said Zane. "And she's been here for the past couple of days now." said Sly. "To be fair, I think only Zane noticed her since she's called what again Kaida?" said Levy. "A super stalker!" said Kaida. "Right. That's a Zane level nickname due to it being so clever." said Levy. "Yep. They're related." said Sly.

After hearing this, Kaida smiled. "Um Zane. Juvia has curly blue hair and dressed in an outfit that covers her from head to toe except her face. I mean this chick has her hair in locks." said Natsu. "I think I'm more shocked about you knowing something about hair rather than you being an idiot for once." said Zane, blinking. He grabbed two of Juvia's bangs ,causing her to blush, and curled them as the trio of Happy, Natsu, and Vance's eyes widened. "It's Juvia!" said Happy.

Zane let them down as Happy cried out in terror,"Ah! What happened to Juvia?! Did you kill her like you said you would!". "Idiot cat. I like this look of hers a lot being that she can have whatever hair she wants because well, she's a beautiful woman regardless." said Zane, smiling. This caused Juvia to blush madly with her head generating steam. "You really can't turn off the playboy." said Sly with her punching Zane in the shoulder. "Yeah but I don't care. It makes me well me." said Zane.

Next time,
With Juvia a part of Fairy Tail and the new Team Maelstrom consisting of Kaida, Levy, Sly, and Zane, how will they fair against the volcanic monsters plaguing Crimcroft Spas? Pretty well I bet but lets keep it hidden for now. Will Erza take out her anger about Natsu being with Lucy on the girl in question or will the poor dark guild be a victim of her wrath? And what's up with Loke? This and more next time on Fairy Legion! I promise the next one won't be as longer as this chapter. 

Just a quick point to make before I end this. I didn't downplay Erza. She is a strong wizard but she has a serious weakness which is ironically her strength. It's her armor. Once the Tower of Heaven happens, that problem is solved. She isn't comfortable without her armor right now except among her closest friends. It's like how Zane is nice to some people rather than everything else. In the fight between Erza and Zane, Zane was seriously holding back against her.

Erza wasn't since she wanted to see how strong he really was. To Zane, it was a sparring contest. If Zane did go all out with Astral Form or anyone one of his big guns, Erza would be dead or in a lot of pain. There will also be a lot of destruction as well. This applies for Laxus as well but I think Laxus is stronger than she is so Zane used a bit more of his power on him and cause the guild's construction to be set back again.
