This post is a part of Fairy Legion Chapter 45 and has been put into a separate post mainly due to the original post being unable to edit for reasons described in this update post. This post here has been written in December 2021 but will be uploaded before Fairy Legion Chapter 45. This is to mainly improve the amount of posts produced within a certain time frame or other reasons.
A/N: I have a couple of things that I should mention. One, we will not be talking about any manga today since I need to mentioned what happened last chapter. Two, we'll be focusing an article I found about Fairy Tail. And three, I need to decide how I'm going to decide how I'll be discussing how I'll be discussing manga going forward. The latter of which won't be seen here but that's just more of a me thing.
The last episode ending on a cliffhanger for a very simple reason. I honestly thought that it was too long personally. After the massive last four chapters, I felt like making it shorter was a good thing and also, I never done a cliffhanger ,in my opinion, for Fairy Legion before. It's something I wanted to try out and where I ended it was perfect. That's honestly why I did it. It isn't some huge life ruining secret or anything. It's just something I wanted to try.
Like I said before, we'll be discussing a article I found online about Fairy Tail, a recent thing in the comics, and Sonic the Hedgehog. I mean who doesn't love a good rant am I right everybody? So lets start with the comic things because I think this applies to the Sonic rant I have going on as well. I've made my opinion on Captain Marvel known by now. I think she's a C-List hero and I question why Marvel is pushing her to be the strongest hero in Marvel.
I guess it has something to do with GRRL Power and I don't mean the online comic. It's a real thing and that's just interesting to me. I actually dislike her for a long time since if Marvel really wanted to push a female superhero to the spotlight, why not the Black Widow, Wasp, Storm, or the Invisible Woman? I would say that those four are huge to Marvel since Wasp was part of the first team of Avengers in the comic and Black Widow was for the MCU.
Storm is easily one of the most powerful X-Men without question and for a period of time, married to the Black Panther. The Invisible Woman is the matriarch of Marvel's first family aka the Fantastic Four. So why would Marvel push Captain Marvel so much? I really hope it's not because Marvel is in her name. That would be so stupid. So why bring this up? As of Captain Marvel #12, something huge happened. Spoiler alert. Captain Marvel kills Thor. Is this stupid? Yes.
Power scalers would pretty much debunk this within seconds since Thor has done a lot of stuff in his decades of comics. It also doesn't really mean anything since I think that saying one character is stronger than another is stupid. I'm calling myself on this since I've done that before. Whoever is the strongest isn't based off facts and sources but whoever the writer picks with their bias in mind. You read that right.
I mean you could have a character literally throw planets with ease in one comic but in another, this character could be defeated by a terrible joke of a character whose main gimmick is that she can talk to squirrels. I don't like how Squirrel Girl is seemingly this Saitama or One Punch Man like character since unlike One Punch Man, it has better art. I mean have you seen Squirrel Girl? Art is subjective I know but at least One Punch Man, that's the joke.
Squirrel Girl is part of the Marvel universe so saying that characters like Doctor Doom and Thanos losing to her makes me roll my eyes in disgust. My point is this. Will Captain Marvel killing Thor get people to talk about the Character? Yes. I had this idea after seeing this tweet from Comicstorian. It got me thing. Do you think this is a way to get people to buy Captain Marvel in order to see how this goes down? It may be simple marketing but I found this interesting.
I then connected it to Sonic the Hedgehog being that the biggest news involving the trouble child of video games's movie. If you didn't know, the initial design of Sonic looked not the best. As someone who doesn't care about Sonic at all, I thought it was bad but I didn't care. When I heard that thanks to public bashing aka typical fandom bitching, there were going to redesign the entire design for Sonic and they did. It looks good I guess.
I mean while Sonic may look good, will the movie be good? Video game based movies aren't exactly the best being that while Detective Pikachu looked nice, I don't think it'll be changing the fact that video games movies aren't very good. Will it get people talking about the movie and see it once it comes out? Yes. I figure this out when I saw that tweet about Captain Marvel. My point is that when things are done bad, people will be talking about it and bring in the bucks.
The final thing I have to talk about is this article called Is Fairy Tail inspired by One Piece? I would say that Fairy Tail take some inspiration for the best selling manga of all time being that despite Demon Slayer outselling One Piece, it's the king of manga right now. It may change but for a while, I think One Piece will be king. Most Shounens in fact are based off Dragon Ball being that it's pretty much the template for most of them.
The articles talks about Gildarts being a clear rip-off of Shanks and I agree to that one. This image on the other hand I do not. There is some similarities yes but every image ,beside the Shanks one, has the characters be very different from each other. Doffy and Angel are two very different characters plus I really doubt that Cobra likes Natsu in the same way that Hancock likes Luffy. Plus how is Rob Lucci the same thing as Elfman's Takeover?
Rapid fire opinion time. I kinda agree with the Zoro one, I don't agree with the Gajeel and Dragon parallel, I agree with the Franky House and Phantom Lord Raid, and the Lucy and Otohime parallel is really stretching it. I'm a fan of both series but I enjoy them for two different reasons. I enjoy Fairy Tail since it got me into Manga and Anime and One Piece I enjoy on how you can make me like a character a lot aka Katakuri or hate a character a lot aka Carrot and Smoothie.
You know why I don't like those two if you've read my rants and like my very obvious man crush on Laxus, Katakuri is known as well so not a big shock. That's all I had to say on that being that this chapter starts off just where the last one ended so if you need a quick refresher, read the end of Chapter 44 and come back. We'll be waiting so enjoy Fairy Legion Chapter 45 whose title makes no sense. I do know the difference between magma and lava but to me, it's the same thing.
Narrator P.O.V.
The duo of Dante and Juvia turned toward Zane who had changed from a normal looking human into a giant twelve foot creature. He has a bulky frame mainly in the upper body but his lower body is still quite strong. He has broad shoulders with him having black scales over his body and white scales that cover his chest, under part of his arms, his legs, and around his eyes. He has a large dorsal fin sticking out of his back and the sides of his arms which work as weapons.
His eyes are covered by white patches with his large green pupils having several black rings around them. He has a cybernetic eye. He has three walrus tusks sticking out of his wrists very much like claws. He wears two bandoleers across his chest. He wears a navy blue parka with a white fur hood and orange jeans. He wears no shoes. He wields a large sledge hammer with ice spikes. "Hope you are ready to go down by Cetacean Form!" said Zane.
Upon seeing this form, Juvia lifted a brown in confusion and interest. While she stalked him, she had not seen this form and what it could do but she was going to fire out what. Zane took a deep breath with Dante blinking. "Oh. I think I get what he mean earlier." said Dante. The giant whale released a giant blizzard at the magma creatures being that all of them were frozen solid along with the streets around them. "Okay. That's cold." said Dante.
Juvia nodded as she watched a thick cloud of steam hissed off the frozen snakes's body. Their bodies were trying to produce enough heat to escape from their frozen prison. Dante watched the giant whale move at a speed that was very impressive for his size. He headed toward the den and upon getting close enough, he swung his hammer at them. His single swing broke the den into pieces. "Yep. I think if they're encased in a substance, they can't absorb the magic. Just like the Osmdroid." thought Zane.
A new Magmamire came climbing out of the fissure but it didn't get a chance to fight since it was blasted in the face by an red energy beam. Zane turned to see Levy aiming her weapon at the snake with her throwing him a thumbs up. "Wow. Nice shot. It was probably due to the weapon's auto aim but for a human, not bad." said Kane. That Magmamire was sliced vertically by Dante's sword, cutting it half.
Another Magmamire stood over Dante and cocked back its left hand, ready to strike him down before going after the giant whale. The snake didn't have a chance to do that since there was a giant hole in the center of it. Juvia had fired a high pressurized burst of water toward the snake and this caused the Magmamire's death. "Permafrost Emperor Silver Network!" said Zane as he slammed his down on the ground and threw Dante into the air much to his confusion.
The area around Zane had a web of ice around him being that four Magmamires were frozen upon coming in contact with the frozen web. Dante landed back on the ground with him looking at Zane and he said,"Um. You do know that I can handle the cold right?". "Yeah but you can't be too careful these days. So instead of complaining, how about we fight the snakes?" said Zane. Dante nodded as he put his sword on his back. "Gotcha. Tornado!" said Dante.
He made a tornado appear around the frozen snakes and the intense wind picked up the frozen snakes, sending them into the air. Zane jumped toward the four of them with him hitting two of them with his hammer, breaking them into pieces. Another one was destroyed by Juvia's Water Slicer and the final one was destroyed by a giant pillar of ice from Dante. Zane landed on the ground with him taunting the two new Magmamire who roared at Zane.
The duo reared back their hands, preparing to fire their magma breath. Zane saw this coming from a mile away as he said,"I'll handle these two since they really need to chill out.". The whale threw toward the snakes, causing their mouths to be destroy upon hitting the hammer. As the two snakes staggered back mainly from the pain of the hammer toward their mouths, Zane launched himself toward them.
Zane cocked his right fist back and upon getting close to the snakes, the punch instantly broke the two of them and their bodies fell apart into rocky piles. Their flames were extinguished. Zane landed smoothly with him throwing up a thumbs up. Dante and Juvia threw one back to him being that for some reason, the two powerful wizards felt fatigued. It was confusing since both of them just got started and they shook it off.
With their opponents, the four man team regrouped and began to think of what the next action should be. "That takes care of them." said Levy. "Yeah but for now. We need to start aiming for the nest rather than the single members. If we don't, a person could get in danger because we missed one." said Zane, grabbing his hammer. "And I think I know how we can do that." said Dante with him pointing to a large fissure in the street.
They made their way toward it being that Juvia looked down upon reaching the edge. There were gold colored cracks stretching their ways into the deep dark depths of Earthland. "From what I saw, ice and water is their weakness. Do you mind staying in that form for now Zane?" said Juvia. "Sure thing. We're on a schedule so lets get going gang." aid Zane. Zane jumped into the fissure first with the others following.
A few seconds later, Zane landed on the ground and the earth below him denting inwards from his weight. Dante landed gracefully on his feet next to him with Zane catching both Juvia and Levy with the latter girl saying thankful. Juvia would have as well but well, she was blushing. "He caught me like a princess!" thought Juvia. Zane put Juvia and Levy down as they took a moment to look around and study their surroundings.
They appeared to be in a large, deep cavern with pools of lava in random spots. The ground and walls around them were cracked and colored like fire. Levy looked upwards toward the crack in the ceiling and it was at least fifty feet up. Bits of sunlight was creeping in. "So Zane. Can the Vladmires jump really high?" said Levy. "Not the ones I fought against. Pretty sure their creator got rid of their fire weakness but gave them the ability to manipulate lava and to dunk." said Zane.
Dante nodded as he said,"Yeah Levy. They could have also climbed up the walls as well. So mind telling me where we're not burning alive?". "Oh that's because of me Dante. My body is naturally producing a invisible frost and keeping you all from burning alive. I also have a theory that all beings in this dimension are naturally protected from high temperatures. Just stay close since I can be wrong." said Zane, earning a nod from Levy.
As Juvia glanced around, she said,"So do you think anyone is home or did we kill them all? I mean we did murder a lot of snakes.". Levy didn't respond to her immediately as she saw multiple linear divots in the ground. Her eyes followed them until she saw that they led to a tunnel at the end of the cave. Zane followed her gaze and saw the tracks that Levy found. "Nice job Levy. Got the eye of a detective don't you?" said Zane.
Levy nodded as she said,"Thanks Zane. You learn to pay attention to critical details when you read a lot of books. Let's follow them. I'm sure that they'll lead us straight to their nest and the person who created them.". Without any argument, the group followed Levy into the tunnel but stayed close to the living freezer aka Zane. They were on guard for any attack. The issue of light wasn't a thanks since they had the natural lighting of glowing gold colored cracks all over the walls and ceiling.
The group would come across some lava that poured out of the walls and block the path. It was easily resolved by Juvia blasting the obstacle with water, turning the molten rock into stone and the boys breaking it. A few minutes later as the group hiked their way through the tunnel, the three wizards felt a sudden exhaustion. Suddenly, the trio stopped walking and hunched over a little. "Girls! Are you okay?" said Zane, concerned. "What about me jerk?" groaned Dante.
Zane shrugged as he said,"I've known you only for a couple of days. I'll feel sad if you die but the girls are part of the guild I work for plus one is my girlfriend.". As the two argued, Juvia tried to figure out why her strength was slowly being drained from her. "We're fine Zane. Just a little dizzy right Levy?" said Juvia. "Is it because of the heat? I mean it's getting pretty toasty like we're inside of a oven." said Zane.
Levy nodded as she said,"You're right Zane. I'm sure it's because we're getting close to Mt. Hasador and we'll be fine okay? Like you said, we're more tolerant of higher or colder temperatures.". "Okay but if you want to go back or use one of my...." said Zane. He was stopped by Levy's determined look. "I'm fine Zane. See?" said Levy, standing up. Zane watched her take a few steps forward before he and the others followed.
While they walked, Zane was wondered why Levy and the others felt dizzy but he remember how he had the Magmamires absorbing Ethernano in the air like the Osmdroid can. "Okay. Something is clearly wrong. The wizards didn't feel the fatigue back on the surface since you froze them all before they could began absorbing Ethernano. However, I think the absorbing effect is stronger down here and I doubt you could block it." said Azalea.
Before Zane could respond to her, he saw them heading toward a large opening ahead. When the duo exited from the tunnel, they were in an enormous cavern. The ceiling above them was so high that it was shrouded by darkness but the tips of the rocky stalagmites were hanging above them. Magma or lava poured from holes in the ground and wall. It reminded Zane of his candy syrup in terms of its viscosity, forming pools of molten rock in various spaces.
Like the tunnel before, the cave wall had a spider-web of gold colored cracks that provided light for the Fairy Tail members and their Lamia Scale ally to see. In random spots across the cavern, a batch of gold Lacrima jutted out from the many rocks surrounding them. It was impressive. "You guys. I have an idea. After we handle these snakes, we should build a race car track here and play Shut up and Drive!" said Zane, smiling brightly.
The three wizards looked at Zane in confusion. The group took a few steps into the cavern before the ground began to shake and Crisis Judgement went off. All of a sudden, a den of Magmamires bursts from the earth and surrounded the group within seconds. The fire colored eyes glared at them as they let out angry roars. "It's brawling time wizards! Put up your dukes!" said Zane, getting into a battle stance.
The magma-based creatures extended their talons at the peak and let out roars that would shattered a glass shop before charging at the group. Zane held up his arms and fired out two powerful jets of ice at the nearest incoming Magmamire. The demons ,being that the ice spread out, cried out in pain as a cloud of steam was made from instant contact with the frozen water. Dante leapt ahead of Zane with him reared back his sheathed sword.
Several ice dragons appeared around him with him saying,"Ice Make: Dragon Storm!". The dragons began flying toward the Magmamires, causing an explosion of ice. This destroyed the Magmaire that Zane hit earlier and sent the rest into the wall. The fight wasn't even close to ending as another group of Magmamires attacked from behind the duo. Juvia spun around and fired a whip of water at them which caused them to stagger back in pain.
Levy aimed her weapon at them with her saying,"Solid Script: Bullet!". The gun began firing out a continuous outburst of energy pellets from the word appearing above her. As they were distracted by the pellets, they were destroy by a red energy bullet from the main weapon. This den of snakes was now rubble. Juvia had fallen to her knees, panting. She felt weak after a simple spell like that. "What is going on? I've barely used my magic power and I'm already winded." thought Juvia.
The bluehaired woman was almost taken off guard when three magma-snakes charged at her but they were blasted off their feet by a giant fist. Juvia collected herself and stood back. She looked over at Zane who smirked. "If you want to sit this one out, I don't blame you but..." said Zane. A magma snake was charging at him but was sent sliding back thanks to it getting blasted directly by a blizzard from Zane. Its rocky skin hardened.
Before it could recover by absorbing the wizards's Ethernano, Zane punched it and shattered it into pieces. "Okay. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." said Zane. "I'm fine! Just keep fighting Zane!" said Juvia. She crocked low and jumped high. In the middle of the air, she gathered an absurd amount of water. "This is for you Beloved! Wings of Love!" said Juvia, raising her left hand high and swing it downwards.
While doing this, she swung her extend right arm back and upwards. This created a ferocious whirlpool laced with neon pink hearts. A group of snakes were confused by the waters before being swept away by the current of love. "Wow. She's tough. I mean she looked terrible earlier after that whip earlier but she got back up." said Lucifer. "Yeah. You shouldn't piss her off any time soon Zane. Just my advice though." said Cole.
Zane ignored his robotic ally for a moment as half a dozen magma-snakes rushed toward him, fury blazing through them. Zane made a copy of Cetacean Form appear as he deactivated the form. "You stay here and be a nice chill zone." said Zane, earning a nod from the cetacean. Zane rushed toward them with him releasing two Mojo blasts at them. This hit three of them as the other three either went to the left or right to evade the attack.
The volcanic snakes ceased their charge about thirty yards from Zane, staring at him. "This is like a stand off except it ain't high noon and I ain't got a pistol on me." said Zane, ending his quip with a western accent. "Haven't we told you not to do the Western accent unless you're in a form that does Zane?" said Athena. Zane shrugged as the snake trio reeled back their head and fired three concentrated blast of magma from their mouths.
The trio of magma blasts fused together midway, forming a huge pillar of molten rock which went right toward Zane like a heating seeking missile. Zane blinked with him saying,"Ha! I've faced bigger! Zenith Smash!". He stretches his right arm back behind him, eventually cocked it back to him. During the travel, Zane’s arm ignites in flames ,thanks to friction, being that it’s moving so fast being untraceable about to normal eyes.
When the two objects collided, there was an explosion of flames from Zane's attacks. Most of the magma pillar was shattered in stone but the rest still went toward Zane. It crashed into Zane with him slamming into the cave wall hard. Zane was stuck to the rock for a second and he said,"Okay. I guess I forgot that you guys are now magic based. Ouch.". He peeled off and fell to the ground hitting it face first. "Zane!" said the trio.
The trio was about to come to her friend's aid before a dozen magma-snakes burst away of the ground in front of all of them. This means that thirty six Magmamires came rushing out of the ground. The three were ready to engage being that with how many of them were there, they wouldn't be getting to Zane anytime soon. Zane groaned painfully, shakily picking himself off the ground. He stood back up and stretched.
He may be able to survive getting punched by a man whose fists can break apart small hills ,also known as mountains, with a single punch but magic was still a pain in his ass. Zane looked to see a crowd of magma snakes charging straight toward him. "I think it's time for me to go above and beyond with you guys or Plus Ultra. It works regardless." said Zane, turning into Torrent Form before glowing bright purple. Zane was now in Torrent Prime.
He's now 12 feet tall, still floating in the air. Instead of looking like a humanoid jellyfish, his body looks more like a mixture of a ghost and octopus. He looked muscular than before. His body is still a gray color. It's slightly transparent, exposing his inner organs. His organs are dark indigo blotches that form a torrent or current of energy. He now has eight tentacles coming out of his body rather than the area where his shoulders and thighs would be like Torrent Form.
These eight tentacles are black on the underside while losing the fins. The ends of them have a golden brace at the end of them, produce steel gray energy that can form into four fingers or toes. His legs are a wisp like tail. His face has a black design that's similar to a domino mask covering it. He now has four pupil-less white eyes, forming an "X" shaped pattern. His eyes have a black outline. He still has no mouth.
He's still wearing the same clothing as Torrent Form but the red dots on his suit can absorb more energy than before. The seemingly mindless beasts were clearly not intimidated as they charged at Zane, letting out roars of anger. "Oh just shut up already you overgrown garden snakes. You're more annoying than rats with wings which is saying a lot." said Zane, with him aiming six of his eight tentacles at them.
Two of them fired a powerful torrent of water, two others fired a powerful torrent of ice, and the final two fired a powerful torrent of air. The crowd of snakes were easily blasted away by the combination of air, ice, and water. Upon reaching the other side of the cave, their bodies obliterated due to the fast and intense pressure of Zane's triple element combination. Zane turned his head around to look at his group.
They had successfully taken out most of them who tried and attacks since rocks were scattered about and in multiple pieces. About sixteen of the thirty six remained and surrounded them. Dante was protecting Juvia and Levy with both of them sweating like crazy. Dante wasn't doing much better as he was braced on one knee, breathing heavily. "Really hate these overgrown snakes." said Dante with him facing in and out of reality.
Zane's eyes began to widen in fear being that the three were being drained of their Ethernano at a faster rate due to the amount of them and how close they are. Without wasting a single second, Zane aimed all tentacles at the den of snakes who weren't paying attention. He made sure that each tentacle fired out a different element (air, darkness, earth, electricity, fire, ice, light, and water) stream out of them.
The eight streams went toward the snakes, getting destroyed by them and caused an explosion of steam thanks to the fire and ice stream. Some of the snakes were electrocuted despite not getting hit by the electricity stream. They were hit by the water stream earlier and the water came in contact with the sparks from the electricity stream. Zane glared at them with him saying,"Hope you learn your place. Don't absorb my friend's magic or else you die.".
The snakes were sent flying into the cave walls by a tornado coming from Zane's tentacles, shattering upon contact. Levy lifted her head and stared at Zane. She could tell that Zane was worried about her despite not showing it. He deactivated the form once he was sure that the snakes were gone. "Are you okay Levy?! You better not tell me that you're fine because I ain't in the mood! None of you better not say that you are either!" said Zane.
Levy grunted her teeth as she said,"No. It feels like all of the magic is sucked out of me.". "Us too Zane." groaned Dante and Juvia. Before Zane could say anything, the ground shook violently again being that Zane groaned. Over fifty Magmamires came popped out of the ground and surrounded the group. They extended their razor sharp talons and roared deafeningly. Zane noticed that the three wizards winced in pain and the magma snakes smiled.
Zane's eyes widened before glaring at them in anger. "You fucking bastards. I'll make you all pay for draining them!" said Zane, eyes glowing red. "Huh?" said Dante. "These bastards are draining your magic because they find it so tasty. It's why you're weak right now." said Zane. Juvia's eyes widened as she knew her beloved was right like always. The moment she fought the snakes was around the same time she got weak.
The situation had just gotten a lot more complicated. "You're right Zane." said Juvia, struggling to keep herself from fainting. The snakes roared again before they charged at Zane and company. Zane began charging up Vibration and he said,"Vibration Roar!". He released it out of his body through his mouth. It's a huge stream of dark red sound wave which has a noticeable bass sound to it. The snakes were sent flying away upon getting hit with the sounds.
This barrage of sound sent over seventy five percent of the snakes into the wall, destroying them and Zane threw a VBRS down on the ground. It covered the entire area of smoke being that it blanketed the cave. Zane looked at the three wizards with him saying,"And with that, we're going to be exiting stage left.". "But..." said Dante. "Don't try that shit with me boy. If we stay here longer, you could die and I won't let my friends die when I could do something about it!" said Zane, glaring at him.
While Dante was confused, Juvia and Levy was sure that this side of Zane was here because of the scar that the Massacre left on him. "Fine then. Let's get out of here." said Dante being that before he could do anything, he was semi-conscious. "Dante!" shouted Zane. All of a sudden, ten Magmamire burst out of the smoke straight at Zane. Zane aimed his left arm at them with him saying,"Go the hell away bastards!".
He fired a giant beam of Primordial energy, erasing them from this dimension. Crisis Judgement went off as a Magmamire appeared at Zane's side and reared back its fists over its head. It was prepared to smash Zane into the ground but its attack was going to fail hard. Zane dodged the fists by turned intangible and caused the snake to smash the ground instead. The snake growled but it was kicked in the face by extremely dense and pressure-activated hammers aka Zane's left leg.
They were black and steel gray. It was instantly demolished being that five more snakes ran out of the smoke cloud and stopped twenty yards to Zane's right. They cocked back their heads and fired out torrents of magma from their months. Zane simply looked at them with him saying,"You idiots piss me off. Karmic Glare!". He fired a small but powerful Karmic Limbo from his eyes. This pierced right through the magma easily. It stuck the five snakes, destroying them.
Zane was pretty sure that there was still a couple of them, waiting in the smoke and just ready to strike him when his back is turned. "Oh gods dam it. I'm a fucking moron." said Zane, facepalming himself. He released a circular purple wave of energy, knocking out all of the Magmamires upon it hitting the energy. The smoke cleared to see all of them were out cold and Zane sighed. "Okay. You are all done. Time to get all of you out of her before fate decides to fuck me over." said Zane.
He turned toward the trio of Dante, Juvia, and Levy who were all lying on the ground. He ran toward Juvia since she was the closest to him. The fatigues woman weakly lifted her head off the ground and opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first but it instantly refocused upon seeing Zane coming to her aid. Without warning, six Magmamire came out of the ground twenty yards behind Zane. When the demons reared back their heads, Juvia's eyes widened. "Zane.." said Juvia.
Zane smiled with him saying,"Don't worry Juvia. I got this.". "Look out beloved!" shouted Juvia with Crisis Judgement going off. Zane turned around to see the six firing their lava breath attacks right at him. "It's cute how you think that you six can stop me after surviving unlike your brothers or sisters. I don't know what gender you are but I don't care. Predatory Bombardment!" said Zane. He launched a giant seven-leaf clover on concentrated Impulse being obsidian black.
The attack looked impossible to avoid due to its size and its ability to draw in inorganic matter to use as substance, making it bigger the process. The magma beams collided with the giant energy attack and the snakes's eyes widened as their combo failed. They were hit by Zane's attack and sent flying into the wall, shattering. Zane blinked with him saying,"Okay. I have an idea and I hope you three don't hate me for doing this.". He turned into Camouflage Form and turned invisible.
A few minutes later, three Magmamires approached the beaten wizards and standing over them in confusion. According to their destroyed brothers, there was four of them but they only counted three of them. They shrugged as one of the magma monsters slithered forward and summoned a green sphere of magma on its upper left hand. It kneel down and placed the green magma ball on both of Dante's wrists after crossing them with its lower right arm.
It meandered toward Juvia and Levy, repeating its prior actions. Unlike the magma that they had fought before, it was cold. The magma instantly hardened and trapped their hands in a stone chunk with Dante using whatever strength he had left. He wasn't the weakest wizard in terms of physical strength but he should have been able to break out. However, it wasn't the case this time around. The water woman tried to muster up enough strength to escape. She couldn't just like Dante.
Levy would have tried this as well but she isn't on the same level in terms of strength as her two allies. A Magmamire grabbed Dante by the back of his jacket and two of the other Magmamires grabbed Juvia and Levy. They dragged the weakened trio across the ground. Levy was confused on why they weren't be burned from their touch. "I guess that they can control the amount of fire that they produce maybe. I'm too exhausted to thank of a more detailed reason." thought Levy.
Three members of the snake quartet were dragged the wizards into another tunnel across the cavern with all seven (human or not) didn't noticed that Zane was stalking them. Zane glanced over to his partners and he clearly observed that they were breathing heavily and struggling to stay awake. Their energy ,which was like their blood, was being sucked out of them right in front of his eyes. It took all of his strength not to attack the four snakes for hurting his friends.
Zane went up to the closest member of his group with him whispering,"Don't worry. Just hang on for a bit longer Juvia. I'm sure we'll see whose behind the curtain.". "Beloved. I'm so tired. Are you here?" moaned Juvia. Zane looked at his friend in concern being that if he didn't do anything soon, Dante, Juvia, and Levy would have their magic energy drained by these snakes. He instantly remember when the crybaby did this to the coward.
The thought of something like this happen to someone he cared about made his protective side come out in full force. A few minutes later, the tunnel came to an end and opened up into a much larger cavern. The Fairies and Lamia were dragged across a stone bridge which just so happened to be over a giant pit of magma which was bubbling. There was over two hundred magma snakes were spaced out across the pit and mining the gold colored lacrimas jutted out from the magma.
Zane stopped in the center of the bridge with him using his 360 degree vision to scope the entire area within seconds. There was more Magmamires standing on cliffs that hung on the cave walls and above the magma pit. They were also mining for the rocks that they were there. "Okay. They're going after these damn rocks but why?" thought Zane. Zane paused his though for now being that he saw the snakes that were dragging his friends put them onto the ground.
It was close by being that Zane went over to them. The wizards struggled to pick themselves up with their arms stuck under their weights. They did find enough strength to sit up thanks to an invisible Zane but they didn't know that. The wizards and superhero's attention was gained by a man with him standing before them. He's six foot tall with him having broad shoulders and a muscular figure. He has green, spiky hair with most of it covered by a black fedora.
His blue eyes are sharp and cold. He has a goatee and mustache. He's wearing a black long sleeved shirt over a red vest with a hood that was covering his head. He's wearing brown pants that's ripped around the ends. He wears black flats. He's wearing a medallion ,that's from some war, around his neck. He's wearing a confident, smug smirk on his face. Zane's eyes narrowed at the man being that he was very familiar to him. "I expected one of you pretenders to show up." said the man.
He spoke in a cook, slick voice. "I didn't expect the famous Frozen Strawberry of Lamia Scale and the Rain Woman of the former guild Phantom Lord to be the pretenders who decided to interrupt my operations." said the man. He took off his fedora and bowed slightly to them. "I'm so humble to meet two famous wizards and I really do hope my minions wasn't too soft on you. I have trouble creating them since I don't have Liasada like my student does." said the man.
The trio of wizards simply glared at the man, shifting his gaze to Levy. "And who are you?" said the man. "Levy McGarden." said Levy in a dry tone. "Oh! I remember you know. You're dating that new and powerful wizard from Fairy Tail. He has forms that remind me of an old pal of mine. He ruined my chances of eternal youth back when he was around your age." said the man. "So. You're the one in charge of this place aren't you?" said Levy.
The man put his hat back on as he said,"That's correct. My name is Lewis Haynes. My friends and enemies call me General Necrosis. I'm glad to be at your service.". Juvia and Levy's eyes widened in shock. "Necrosis?" said Juvia. She remember hearing about this man from Zane. "Yes. I'm sure that you remember meeting Zane's old friend Bimbo." said Lewis. "Bimbo? Is that seriously a name a person would give to another?" said Dante.
Lewis shrugged as he said,"I got to agree with you there but the god like being who created her from a loser gave her that name. I don't know why she decided to pick a fight with the current strongest guild in this kingdom? None of them except for Legion Zero is actually strong enough to fight me but she has the ability to get people to follow her. It's because her body is so amazing.". "So you're mad at Zane for taking down bimbo aren't you?" said Levy.
The sorcerer laughed with him saying,"No little girl. Why in the nine realms would I care about someone who I felt pity for? I only brought her to this dimension since she was crying non stop about her mistress. She's still in her specialized prison after causing the Massacre and also the destruction of one of the dinosaur dimensions.". "So why did you bring her to this dimension if you don't care about her?" said Juvia.
Dante looked at the trio with him saying,"Huh?". "I used her as a way to distract Zane because I knew she would go after him if she had a chance. She hates him just like I do. However, I always wanted to get some revenge on the people whom Zane cares about after he got my prized student and myself arrested more times than I would like." said Lewis. He reared back his fist and punched Juvia in the gut, making her double over in pain.
Zane snarled at Lewis for punching his friend/possible girlfriend. He wanted to retaliate but couldn't blow his cover. "Why are you doing this then? And hitting a lady. That's just sad." said Dante. Lewis shrugged as he snapped his fingers. As a result of this action, a random magmamire approached him and carried one of the gold lacrimas. He made a steel gauntlet appear over his left hand and grabbed the gold lacrima from the magma snake.
He stepped a few feet from it before turning his attention back to the wizards. "This rock is unique. It's very similar to lacrima due to it being able to store magic inside of it but it can absorb Ethernano from the area around it. I doubt you pretenders could survive without any form of metal protecting you from its power. You'll be drained like a battery within seconds. I'm wearing metal since because I had my already impressive Animus infused with this dimension's raw magic power." said Lewis.
Lewis aimed his left hand at a nearby duo of Magmamires ,who were digging out the lacrima like crystal, and fired out a green Animus beam. This destroyed the two of them but left the gold lacrima perfectly in tact. "As you can see, these beauties have the ability to survive being blasted by my Animus. I call it Bruorenite. Alongside the ability to absorb magic, they increase a Sorcerer's natural magic power so I had an idea." said Lewis.
He pointed to the Magmamire who were digging out the Bruorenite. "Look at them. If I mine more of them and let them absorb Ethernano, they'll give me more strength. These Magmamires were based of the Vladmires infused with lava and magma. I borrowed one of Salem's spells in creating minions but they're much stronger than her minions. They're so obedient, hardworking, and best of all. They can absorb the Ethernano of the area around them and wizards." said Lewis.
He smiled with him saying,"Upon absorbing any Ethernano, it transfers directly to me. With all of this power under my control, I'll be able to finally kill the biggest pain in the Omniverse aka Legion Zero!". The Sorcerer began laughing like an evil super villain with Juvia sitting back up after getting over the pain in her gut from Lewis's punch. It all began to come together in Zane's head. Lewis had created the Magmamire in order to gain more power.
These crystals were probably a result of this dimension's raw Impulse taking a solid form. In his lust for power, Lewis ordered his magma snakes to oppress Grimcroft Spas. This was to make sure that the town would have to call upon wizards from the local guilds in order to get his Magmamires to suck their Ethernano from them and give back to him. It explained how the trio of Dante, Juvia, and Levy felt weak when facing these monsters. "You're a power hungry monster." said Levy.
Lewis smiled with him saying,"Thank you for that nice complement.". A magma snake slithered across the stone bridge and stood ten yards behind the wizards. It let out a series of grunts and snarls being that Lewis's face took on a sinister smile. "We're that close. Tell the group to keep on mining and inform me once when we reach the Grimcroft Soul okay?" said Lewis. The monsters slowly nodded his body in acknowledgement before it turned and slithered off.
Zane looked at Lewis with Cole saying,"So I know that you can speak snake Zane but can Lewis as well?". "We're going to get an answer so hush!" said Athena. "Before you ask, I'm able to order them since I'm the creator." said Lewis. "Um. I doubt that most people would ask you that." said Dante. "I blame Zane for me doing that. He always seem to ask the questions that no one else would be asking. I despise him like most of his enemies do because he never stops talking!" said Lewis.
Juvia blinked with her thinking,"Yep. That's Beloved for you.". "Hold on. What are you going to do with the Grimcroft Soul?" said Levy with her voice faltering slightly. "Since you three are going to die by these snakes or me, I'll tell you. The source of Grimcroft Soul isn't just Mt. Hasador but rather something interesting. It's raw crystalized Ethernano!" said Lewis. Juvia and Levy's eyes widened in shock with Dante saying,"Hold on. What's Ethernano?".
Lewis looked at him with him saying,"You can't be serious. You were born in this dimension and I'm the visitor but even I know what Ethernano is.". "Well, I just know that I can use magic and really don't care about how I can do that." said Dante shrugging. "Okay then Dante. Ethernano are magic particles that dwell in all living organisms and the atmosphere. They're the source of every wizard's power. Lacrima is just Ethernano taking a solid like form." said Levy.
Dante said,"I think Master Jura told me that once Levy but then I fell asleep. Too boring for me since I don't like the library.". "It's really concerning that such a famous and powerful wizard didn't know that. Ethernano is raw Impulse and pretty much the best form of magic in the Omniverse so my minions will absorb all of the Ethernano crystals with the hot spring. Once that happens, no one can stop me not even the Alliance!" said Lewis.
Juvia looked at him with her saying,"You can't! If you're telling the truth and drain the Grimcroft Soul, the people of Grimcroft Spas will die by winter time!". "Um. I'm evil and frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. I mean I'll be gone from this dimension and taking over the Omniverse so why would the cold both me?" said Lewis. "You would endanger the lives of innocents just to become stronger! You bastard!" yelled Levy, her eyes burning with rage.
Lewis looked at her with him saying,"Okay. You and Zane are perfect together. He's called me a bastard just because I was planning on doing a genocide. Okay, I'm done with you three so take them to jail you three.". The Magmamire stepped forward with them grabbing Dante by the back of his jacket and the girls were grabbed. As Zane followed them, he glared at Lewis. The tunnel that the Magmamire were heading down lead into another large cavern.
Said cavern had a series of lava/magma tube like entrances across the cave walls with the snakes pulling the wizards into one of them. One minute later, they reached the end of the tunnel aka a pit with a large amount of Bruorenite scattered in it. This was the room where Lewis stored all of the minerals that the Magmamire mined. You may wonder why Lewis would make this spot his prison but Lewis is really old and tends to make mistakes often.
The wizards yelped in surprise when they were thrown into the shallow pit. They crashed in a spot that was devoid of the mineral but the rocky ground wasn't exactly the softest place to land. Groans escaped through their throats due to the rather painful impact. Dante clenched his eyes tight and grinded his teeth from the stinging sensation that washed over him. He weakly opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.
He slowly turned his head and gave the pit a good look over. Without any doubt, Lewis currently had over ten tones of the magic-stealing mineral inside of the cavern. This of course didn't bode well for anyone in their group. Juvia rolled over onto her front and tried to sit up. However, her muscles failed since she got up and close with the ground. The water woman moaned in agony, feeling her magic power leaving her up.
Zane ,who had watched all of this happen, heard her moan and turned to her. Seeing how weak and hurt he looked, Zane went into action. He went up to the three Magmamires and spit green goo/slime at them. The creatures groaned loudly in pain before they melt away. To make sure that no one bothers them, Zane made a giant wall of the stuff before jumping down into the pit. While falling, he deactivated the form and appeared in front of them. "You guys!" said Zane.
Levy looked at Zane with her saying,"Zane. The rocks are stealing our power.". "Yeah. I kinda got that from the not so good general. Still a senile old fool. He really should know that if Zero's special lady and friends are around, I'm not that far behind." said Zane. He turned into a classic form of his being Gunslinger Form. He's 8 feet tall. He's a humanoid muscular grayish white fur bandicoot with a brown long and pointed nose, thick eyebrows, and purple eyes.
He wears a light brown belt with a gold belt buckle and attached to his belt, he has cases ,with a sunset design, on both hips. This is where he keeps his pistols Outlaw and Lockjaw in the right and left case respectively. Both pistols are identical .50 Desert Eagles/six-shooter revolvers. He wears black cowboy boots that have gold star spurs and a knife strapped to his boots. He wears black fingerless leather gloves. "Time to shatter the General's plan." said Zane with him having a Southern/western accent.
He pulled out his pistols in a single motion. Both of them looked normal being that Outlaw is black with a skull symbol and Lockjaw is silver with a cuff symbol. They both have a swing out cylinder with a rapid-fire trigger. He fired them toward a pile of Bruorenite, causing a explosion. Zane began blasting apart every piece of mineral he could see with each hit making an explosion and these explosions shake the pit.
Debris from the ceiling fell onto the floor. After finishing his attack, he put his pistols back in their holster and turned to see the limp, unconscious trio of wizards. He put Dante and Levy over both of his shoulders and carried Juvia in his arms. "Um Zane. Hate to be a back seat hero here. Should Juvia and Levy switch places?" said Lucifer. Zane ignored him as he began to digging his way ,using his feet, through the pit and back to the tunnel.
The exact second Zane left the tunnel, big chunks of the ceiling collapsed into the pits and filled the cavern completely with rocks. "May have gone overboard but I don't care. Lewis is going to pay for hurting the innocent people of Grimcroft and you guys. No one hurts my friends." said Zane as he clenched his teeth. He heard a groggy groan from the wizards with him placing them gently on the ground. Juvia's eyes slowly fluttered open, feeling her strength returning.
She blinked twice when her gaze fell upon Zane and his animal like face. "So are you okay there little lady?" said Zane, tipping his hat toward her. Juvia got over her surprise at Zane's transformation and sat up, holding her aching forehead. "You guys know that I can wait until all of you are back at full strength. Need it against the General since he ain't the type of partner to hold back." said Zane as he cracked his neck.
Levy shook her head as she said,"We're fine Zane. I'm sure that our magic energy is coming back to us.". "That's good." said Zane. "Not really since it won't do us any good if our magic gets drained again by being near those snakes. I may not know about who you really are Zane but I trust you so what's the plan?" sad Dante. Zane knew that his friend was right but was sure that he had to explain his past once again. Dante, Juvia, and Levy wouldn't last long in another fight with the Magmamires.
It took him a few seconds to come up with a plan. He remembered when he cooled the demons with either ice and water, deactivating the snake's magic absorbing powers. Juvia had done the same with her magic. Once the Magmamire were cooled down and turned into stone, their magic absorbing power were negated. "I got it. I think that our victories is obvious partner. When I cool them down, you weren't weak right?" said Zane.
Juvia nodded with her saying,"Um Zane. Do you mind deactivating your form? Your accent is giving me a headache.". "Have to agree with her on that one. To answer your question, I didn't feel week so what's the plan?" said Dante. "Everyone is a critic of little old me but whatever, I need to become a living storm to defeat the enemy." said Zane, turning into another new form we haven't seen before now. It's Storm Form. He’s twelve feet tall with him having a muscular humanoid build.
Since he could see his group's confusion, Zane aimed his lower right arm at the cave wall and fired out a steady stream of water from it. The wall was instantly covered in steam which eventually got absorbed into Zane's body. "So you have another form with water powers? I don't know if I should be jealous of you or not." said Juvia in a teasingly tone. "I think you wouldn't be jealous since you're better than Gray. This one can make ice as well. My plan is simple." said Zane.
He smiled with him saying,"I'll either blow them, freeze them, or soak them and you break them okay? Pretty simple if you ask me.". "Okay. Lets get moving!" said Levy. "So since we're short on time, we need to get moving fast so hang on tight. Thunder Emperor Black Panther!" said Zane with him producing a lot of thunder. Several panther came out of it and the wizards got on the back of them. Zane's legs fused together, forming into a giant tornado.
He moved down the hallway fast with the electrical felines following him. "So is Zane just full of surprises?" said Dante. "Yes. It's what he does best." said Juvia. The four were back in the main cavern with Lewis standing on the stone bridge that was over the magma pit. There was an octuplets close by. The sorcerer's eyes widened in both annoyance and shock when he saw his most hated rival of the mystical arts standing there with the wizards.
Zane came to a stop with his legs turning back to normal. He stood at the end of the rock bridge, with him glaring hard at the sorcerer. "Zero! How are those wizards alive or even able to move?! They should be drained now!" said Lewis. "It's actually very simple. Members of Fairy Tail and possible Lamia Scale are stubborn and don't go down without a fight. I thought you know how I have the ability to appear whenever you're doing your evil scheme." said Zane.
Lewis clenched his fists and growled. "Destroy them! Aim at Zane specifically!" yelled Lewis with him pointing at Zane. The eight magma snakes ,standing beside Lewis, slithered toward and formed a wall between their master and enemy. They reared back their heads and fired eight magma torrents at them. "Would you believed me if I said that this isn't the first time I've heard him say that to me specifically?" said Zane.
He made a cloud appear in front of him, firing a barrage of hail and rain at the magma torrents. Upon the hail/rain combo meeting with the magma, the latter of which was turned into hard rocks. Zane's attack broke through and froze the eights upon contact. "You're up gang!" said Zane. Levy aimed her weapon at them with her saying,"Solid Script: Drill!". From her gun, she fired out several words that formed the word "Drill".
Upon leaving the gun, the words began spinning toward them and emanating drill-like sounds. The words shattered the statues with Levy smiling. Lewis on the other hand wasn't happy about how fast the couple defeated his minions. "You may have defeated this batch but I have more than this batch since I'm a genius!" said Lewis. Without warning, three dozen Magmamires jumped out of the magma pits below and onto the bridge.
They stood in front of their creator, ready to defend him with their lives. The heroes's attention was grabbed by noises behind him. They turned to see another two dozen snakes standing at the end of the bridge. The group was surrounded. Upon them appearing, the electricity panthers disappeared and caused the wizards to fall on the ground. The three wizards's magic power was getting sucked away from them.
Lewis folded his arms over his chest and smirked proudly. "You idiots should have learned that that my Magmamires are invincible since your Ethernano is only giving me more strength than ever before. Zane may be immune since he has more than Animus or Ethernano inside of him but he has his limits! He can't fight off my creatures and protect you pretenders!" said Lewis. Without taking a look to see Juvia's arms and legs tremble, Zane went into action.
He turned his legs into a singular tornado with him aiming his left arms at the snakes in front of him and his right arms at the snakes behind him. His left arms fired a combination of ice and lightning with his right arms firing a combination of lightning and water at his enemies. Most of the snakes were either frozen from the ice, turned into stone from the water, or blasted into pieces thanks to the lightning. The latter element is the most common.
After this elemental assault, forty five snakes survived Zane. Lewis growled being that he hated how strong Zane was. "You guys are up." said Zane. Juvia nodded rapidly with her making several water trident appear in the air around them. "Water Tridents!" said Juvia. The tridents came down on the frozen and stone snakes being that the tridents destroyed them. It also destroyed the stone bridge being that the group began to plum into the molten lava below.
Juvia blinked as she said,"Sorry you guys.". Zane shrugged with him making a cloud appear under him and his group. Dante touched the cloud with him saying,"Wow. This takeover is pretty cool. It beats that one you used on our modeling job.". "So what about Lewis?" said Levy. "Honestly, he'll be fine. I mean I did blast him with a giant fireball so being burned alive by lava/magma is like nothing to him." said Zane, smiling cheekily.
As this was going on, Lewis fell into the pit and made a splash. After a few seconds, he stood up waist deep in lava. "Huh. He looks fine to me." said Dante. "Yeah. His clothes were made with a special type of fabric that can resist the elements. Lewis may be an idiot but at least, he knows to pick the right clothing for a volcano." said Zane. The oldest being in the cavern tightened his fists and glared at Zane mainly.
It may have been Juvia who broke the bridge but who has always stopped his plans for power and Omniversal domination by insulting him at every turn? Waves of gold Animus irradiated off him. "Wow. He's really mad. Does that happen a lot with your villains?" said Juvia. "Yeah. I piss people off fast. It's because I either say something to get them mad." said Zane. "Dam you Zane! Even after all this time, you're a pain in my ass!" said Lewis.
Zane shrugged as he said,"I'll stop being one if you decided to give your evil ways.". "You won't foil this plan! Snakes of the magma, destroy them!" yelled Lewis. The den of at least three hundred Magmamires in the cavern ceased their mining and surrounded our heroes. Angered roars emanated from them as fire exhaled from their nose. Their dark red eyes glowed with blazing fury as they honed in on the four.
Levy groaned lightly with her body tremble in growing fatigue. With this large amount of Lewis's snakes around her, her magic power was being depleted again. Zane saw this with him knowing that he had to do something quick. Storm Form may be one of his best forms overall but compared to the Primes, he was just a frog in a large pond. He could do it with Storm Form but he would need to hit them hard and fast. "There is so many of them." said Levy.
Zane said,"Focus. The plan is the way to win. I take care of their magic absorbing and you guys destroy them.". "Do you honestly think you stop all of these snakes before our magic is completely drained?" said Zane. "Yes. They want me dead since Lewis hates me more than anything but I've handled a lot of enemies at once using one form. Let me show you." said Zane. He deactivated Storm Form but kept the cloud, turning into Thermal Form and glowing bright purple.
He was now Thermal Prime. Zane now look to be twelve feet tall with a more muscular frame. His body is now made out of obsidian black volcanic rocks that took the shape of armor. Any part of his body ,that wasn’t covered by his rock like armor, reveals his skin being a blood red color with streaks of white mimicking veins. His head is now covered in half flames and half ice with his skull sticking out. His skull is now made out of the same stone as his body.
His left wrist is covered in fire and his right wrist is covered by ice. His elbow still has large blades protruding from them. He now wears steel bands around his arms and legs. He’s still wearing his sleeveless black motorcycle vest which reveals his ice like ribs. He wears black gloves, pants, and boots. The big eye-catcher was the two long, red and white bio-organic metal cannons sticking out from his shoulders. "Thermal Prime!" said Zane.
Dante, Juvia, and Levy stared at the large hybrid creature in awe and intrigue. This form reminded Levy of Gray and Natsu if they decided to work together. Lewis took a step back being that he knew the strength of a Prime Form. He shook out of his fear with him glaring at Zane. "Change into any form you want Zane but your friends will be drained of their magic. I'll rule the Omniverse and you'll be dead!" said Lewis.
The snake clan let out earsplitting roars before charging at the group. "Okay. You guys really need to chill out." said Zane. "Really?" said Dante. "According to Sly, being a hero means you need to make bad jokes." said Juvia. As she said this, the cloud that she and the other two wizards moved into the air. Zane aimed both of his cannons in front of him. The cannons instantly fired out two beams of ice from them.
Upon the ice hitting the magma snakes, they instantly turned into igneous rocks. Zane shifted his feet together with him releasing out a stream of fire from them, launching them into the air. He began to spin, firing several beams of ice at the magma snakes. The subzero temperature was so cold being that it froze all of the magma in the pit. Due to Lewis being inside of the magma, the sorcerer's lower body was trapped in rock and caused him to shiver.
In two seconds flat, the entire den of Magmamires were all frozen and turned into rocks. As Zane stopped firing his ice beams, he landed on the ground and he said while his cannons having an icy mist coming out both of them,"And that's why they call me the coolest son of a bitch in the Nine Realms so what's next?". There was a icy mist billowing through the entire cavern which now had a igneous rock in the pit.
The wizard trio's mouth gaped with shock and looked at Zane with wide eyes. A second later, the bookworm closed her eyes and shook her head. She smiled as she said,"I think without any doubt in my mind, Gray would definitely envy you right now.". "Like he doesn't already but don't forget about Hatchling. Thermal Form isn't just a massive ice machine." said Zane, covering his hands in flames.
Lewis was shaking slightly and stared right at Thermal Form in fear. "Dam you Zane. Even after all of this time, you always interrupt my plans. Burning away the Fountain of Youth! Freezing away my Magmamires!" said Lewis. "Zane. Do you mind if we take it from here?" said Dante. "Sure. Go nuts you crazy kids." said Zane, making an ice recliner and he sat in it. Dante smiled as he rushed toward a handful of Magmamires and sliced right through them. He did this with his sword still sheathed.
Juvia swung her left arm as she said,"Water Slicer!". Several sharp blades of water appeared and they shattered through a good majority of rock snake. Levy pulled out of her weapon and destroyed the rest of them. "No. I will not suffer another defeat to him again!" thought Lewis. An idea popped into his mind but he would need to keep Zane busy. He made his steel gauntlet appear but there were two of them now.
He put both of them on his hands and made several shards of Bruorenite appear in front of him. He knew that his immense magic power would be kept from being drained due to the steel gauntlets on him. "It's a good thing these things taste like rock candy." said Lewis, eating them. After swallowing them, Lewis's blue eyes glowing gold. The black stone that trapped him from the waist down began to crack and molten once again.
Without any warning, a pillar of magma blasted out and encased him. The wizards and superhero looked at the triggered General Necrosis who was in a obelisk of molten rock. "Me thinks we made him mad. I really should cool him down." said Zane. "Mind if I help out?" said Dante as his swords had an icy frost coming off it. "Sure. I don't see why not." said Zane. "There is one thing that you should know about me, pretenders!" said Lewis.
Zane looked at him with him saying,"I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that you do all of this just because you're compensating for your magic wand.". "Not that! And you shut up! I'm not an easy opponent like Bimbo was or is!" said Lewis. He outstretched his left arm and he said,"Arise from the depths of the Dread Dimension! Obsidian Baboon!". After casting the spell, magma and fire erupted around him.
The molten rock began taking the shape of an enormous Baboon which was made completely out of magma. It's lengthy body took up about 45% of the vast cavern. It's mouth was full ,from top to bottom, with glowing, sharp solid magma like teeth. Streams of lava went out from the nostrils on its face and had crimson red eyes. The rather strange thing about this creature was its long, massive arms with four sharp, glowing solid magma like fangs. I mean it really stick out on the giant creature.
Dante, Juvia, and Levy gasped lightly with them taking a worried step back and looking at the new creature in shock. It was very similar to the Magmamires except bigger. However, Zane had a very different opinion of the Obsidian Baboon. "Huh. You know something you guys. I've seen Lewis's spells before but none of them have been this cool." said Zane. This earned him an annoyed look from Dante, Juvia, and Levy.
Zane saw them looking at him with him saying,"I'm not going to say that I'm wrong you guys. I have known him for over five hundred years and his spells have been lame ever since I met him when I was eighteen years old. This baboon here is just a bigger mammal version of our good friends the Magmamires except without the magic absorbing properties I think. Don't know yet. This is a new spell for him. I'm happy to see him evolve and change with the times.".
The lava primate picked its hexagon shaped head, focusing its deadly eyes on the prey and seethed at the group ferociously. It split open its mouth ,looking painfully, and fired out a very compact magma torrent directly at the group. Zane grabbed his group and teleport away in a burst of ice, evading the attack. Upon the magma hitting the ground, it erupted into an inferno. There was burning rocks and fire everywhere around the point of impact.
The group returned with Levy saying with an annoyance glance,"Do you still think that creature is cool Zane?". "Honestly, I think it's cool too. I mean it's trying to kill us but it's made out of magma and shooting magma from its mouth. What part of that doesn't sound cool?" said Dante, earning a sigh from Levy. Without any warning, the water woman felt a wave of weakness wash over her. It was so strong that it made her kneel. She ground her teeth, closing her eyes tight.
The baboon had the same magma absorbing abilities as the smaller serpents but much faster than before. "Um you guys! It's absorbing our magic!" said Juvia. Zane looked at how much pain his partner was in and knew that he had to act. The magma baboon cocked back its left arm and intended to bitch slap Zane. However, Zane easily dodged the attack by flying upwards and blasting it in the face with an ice beam.
Upon hitting the ice hitting the baboon, the primate roared in anger. The giant primate turned and shifted its eyes on the wizards. Dante held his sword being that he was protecting Juvia and Levy who had their magic being absorbed by the baboon. Lewis knew that his massive spell could absorb Ethernano from the atmosphere and wizards but the latter of which was a bit different compared to the Magmamire.
The Magmamire could absorb more than two wizards Ethernano at the same time but the Obsidian Baboon can only absorbed up to two wizards Ethernano at once. Kinda sucks but this primate could absorb Ethernano faster than the serpents. Seeing an opportunity, it honed in on the wizards and charged across the ground toward her. Zane growled and ran at speeds. Lewis saw this coming with him summoning ten baker dozens of Magmamires around Zane.
The fire/ice being glared right at them being that he heard,"Don't worry man! You handle those snakes. I got this!". The magma primate split open its mouth once again and fired another torrent of magma. Dante grinned with him saying,"Time for you to chill out!". He unsheathed his sword being that upon doing this, a giant wave of ice and snow came rushing out of him. Upon the magma and ice collided midway, the former turned into rock.
The snow blasted through the newly formed rock and struck the magma primate in the mouth. It cried out in agony before the subzero blast traveled throughout its body. This attack turned the giant primate into a statue of igneous rock. Juvia and Levy felt their magic returned to them as they looked at Dante. His head is covered in an ice helmet with it being a shark shape. His arms are covered by gold gauntlets that goes up to his elbows.
They have silver markings that form a snowy tundra. The gauntlets have a single katana blade sticking out of them with it being rather sharp. His sword ,which is named Arctic Justice, is a katana with it having a rectangular bronze tsuba with a water droplet design to it with a dark blue handle and sheath. "Ready to go ladies?" said Dante. Juvia nodded as she said,"Hang on.". She covered Dante in a large stream of water and threw him toward the snake.
His katana was covered in a thick layer of frost with Dante yelling. He spun around and sliced the giant rock in half with an ice wave. The stone primate was covered in a huge ice cube being that it crashed into the ground. This send ice and rock fragments in every direction. Dante landed next to the girls with Juvia saying,"So do you still think that it's cool Dante?". "Yeah I do Juvia. Ice pun aside for a moment. not going to ask Zane that question?" said Dante.
Levy looked at the ice explosion that probably came from her boyfriend with her saying,"His answer is pretty obvious. After we fought against Phantom Lord, he admit that Phantom Lord won in one fight against Fairy Tail. It was having a better guild hall.". "Let me guess. Prude Knight didn't like that. I heard that you fairies really hate when you diss their guild like that." said Dante. "Wow. My nickname for her travels. Sweet." said Zane, landing next to them.
Meanwhile, Lewis was still standing in the middle of a pillar of hot, scorching magma and it had his gold Animus around it. The immortal Sorcerer took off his steel gauntlets and tossed them aside. The metal melted upon leaving Lewis's body. He made two balls of Bruorenite appear and he closed his eyes. He began to mutter a complicated enchantment in a bizzare and unknown language. I'll give you a hint. It's name starts with L and it's been mentioned in Fairy Legion before.
Lewis paused when he saw his enemies running toward him, stopping twenty five yards in front of him. "How about you give up General?! I mean have you ever once won against me? Your supply of Burorenite are long gone and we'll just keep beating down your heated minions. So give up and I'll make sure you get a cell not next to Bimbo! Pretty nice if you ask me." said Zane, aiming his cannons at him.
Dante pointed his freezing sword straight at him with him saying,"I really think you should listen to him. I mean I may not know the history between you two but I'll support Zane.". Lewis began to laugh like an supervillain and his eyes glowing gold. "So is this the typical supervillain laugh?" said Levy. "I consider it the normal laughter but to me, I've heard more of that laughter and find it more attractive than a snort! I'll tell you hwhat." said Zane.
Lewis smiled as he said,"I'm afraid that you've been greatly fooled pretender. Mt. Hasador is filled to the brim with Burorenite! This cavern only has a small amount and as for my minions, they were just the start of what I'm about to make!". Lewis held tightly onto the crystals with the group looked at him strange. "Um. I have to ask this but why are you holding onto those rocks? Aren't they going to drain your magic as well?" said Juvia.
Zane shrugged as he said,"Well Juvia, I've been hitting him on the head a lot over the years so he isn't the smartest being around.". "You fools! If one can focus enough Impulse directly into it, you'll get the full power of the magic inside of it!" said Lewis. The crystals in Lewis's hands illuminated brightly for a moment before shattering. All of the stored Ethernano went into Lewis's body, making him shine brighter and the heat came off in a high amount.
Levy took a step back, holding her weapon in front of her. "So do you guys know what's going on? I think the heat coming off him is like a volcano!" said Levy. Crisis Judgement went off, forcing Zane to get serious. "Me thinks that I've pissed off Lewis a lot." said Zane. Lewis clasped his hands together and talking n an unknown language to the Fiore wizards but Zane knew it as Liasada."Emperor of the molten pit. Awaken from the pits of the Dread Dimension and merge with me!" said Lewis.
The ground began to shake as the magma pillar engulfing Lewis growing large and hotter. "What the fuck is that fool doing?! He isn't a Magnus like me and Salem! Using Liasada like that will kill him despite being immortal!" said Zane. Lewis gave Zane and his group a sinister smile with his eyes burning with power and sadism. "Now Legion Zero and pals. You're about to face your doom by my hands! Arise Magmaviathan!" said Lewis.
Upon finishing this, the cavern was engulfed in bright, red light and extreme heat. Instinctively, the duo of Dante and Zane went into action. "Glacier Mosque!" said Dante. He began to create a thick dome of ice around him, the girls, and Zane. Zane fired beams of ice from his cannons and hands to enhanced the ice's durability as the eruption of heat would have melted Dante's spell. The ground was shaking around them, causing parts of the ceiling to collapse on them.
After a moment, the intense light and shaking stopped. Zane removed the ice barrier around them using a simple fire beam. Upon leaving the dome of ice, the group's eyes widened as something different was in Lewis's place. The wizards had expression of horror on their faces and Zane was neutral. "Meh. I've seen and been bigger." said Zane, shrugging. Standing before there was a sixty six foot/20 meters tall monster.
It's a quadrupedal crab like creature with eight crab-like legs. It's body was comprised of magma and obsidian igneous rock. It's upper body was immense, its two arms gigantic, and has large, sharp claws on its hands. It's back had several volcano like appendages that was spewing out magma onto the creature's back. Its feet were two toed. It's face is rhino like but seemingly missing the signature horn and gold eyes shined bright.
The cave could contain the magma Goliath but if it was a little bigger, it would destroy the cave just due to its size. Juvia and Levy only guessed that Lewis was somewhere inside of the creature. Lewis had full control of the Goliath being that he could see, hear, and feel everything that it could. The beast looked down at the dumbfounded wizards and disinterested superhero. The creature opened its mouth where they could see a myriad of sharp teeth and the magma blazing inside of it.
Zane blinked with him saying,"Oh my. What big teeth you've got.". "I'm not going to respond to that. Feast your eyes upon the Emperor of Magma Magmaviathan!" said Lewis. His voice began to thunder being that the creature's mouth didn't move when it talked. Lewis's voice got infused with a evil, baritone voice. It threw up its arms and let out a deafening roar. It shook the entire cave with sections of the roof to fall. However, the cavern didn't crumble away.
Like I said before, we'll be discussing a article I found online about Fairy Tail, a recent thing in the comics, and Sonic the Hedgehog. I mean who doesn't love a good rant am I right everybody? So lets start with the comic things because I think this applies to the Sonic rant I have going on as well. I've made my opinion on Captain Marvel known by now. I think she's a C-List hero and I question why Marvel is pushing her to be the strongest hero in Marvel.
I guess it has something to do with GRRL Power and I don't mean the online comic. It's a real thing and that's just interesting to me. I actually dislike her for a long time since if Marvel really wanted to push a female superhero to the spotlight, why not the Black Widow, Wasp, Storm, or the Invisible Woman? I would say that those four are huge to Marvel since Wasp was part of the first team of Avengers in the comic and Black Widow was for the MCU.
Storm is easily one of the most powerful X-Men without question and for a period of time, married to the Black Panther. The Invisible Woman is the matriarch of Marvel's first family aka the Fantastic Four. So why would Marvel push Captain Marvel so much? I really hope it's not because Marvel is in her name. That would be so stupid. So why bring this up? As of Captain Marvel #12, something huge happened. Spoiler alert. Captain Marvel kills Thor. Is this stupid? Yes.
Power scalers would pretty much debunk this within seconds since Thor has done a lot of stuff in his decades of comics. It also doesn't really mean anything since I think that saying one character is stronger than another is stupid. I'm calling myself on this since I've done that before. Whoever is the strongest isn't based off facts and sources but whoever the writer picks with their bias in mind. You read that right.
I mean you could have a character literally throw planets with ease in one comic but in another, this character could be defeated by a terrible joke of a character whose main gimmick is that she can talk to squirrels. I don't like how Squirrel Girl is seemingly this Saitama or One Punch Man like character since unlike One Punch Man, it has better art. I mean have you seen Squirrel Girl? Art is subjective I know but at least One Punch Man, that's the joke.
Squirrel Girl is part of the Marvel universe so saying that characters like Doctor Doom and Thanos losing to her makes me roll my eyes in disgust. My point is this. Will Captain Marvel killing Thor get people to talk about the Character? Yes. I had this idea after seeing this tweet from Comicstorian. It got me thing. Do you think this is a way to get people to buy Captain Marvel in order to see how this goes down? It may be simple marketing but I found this interesting.
I then connected it to Sonic the Hedgehog being that the biggest news involving the trouble child of video games's movie. If you didn't know, the initial design of Sonic looked not the best. As someone who doesn't care about Sonic at all, I thought it was bad but I didn't care. When I heard that thanks to public bashing aka typical fandom bitching, there were going to redesign the entire design for Sonic and they did. It looks good I guess.
I mean while Sonic may look good, will the movie be good? Video game based movies aren't exactly the best being that while Detective Pikachu looked nice, I don't think it'll be changing the fact that video games movies aren't very good. Will it get people talking about the movie and see it once it comes out? Yes. I figure this out when I saw that tweet about Captain Marvel. My point is that when things are done bad, people will be talking about it and bring in the bucks.
The final thing I have to talk about is this article called Is Fairy Tail inspired by One Piece? I would say that Fairy Tail take some inspiration for the best selling manga of all time being that despite Demon Slayer outselling One Piece, it's the king of manga right now. It may change but for a while, I think One Piece will be king. Most Shounens in fact are based off Dragon Ball being that it's pretty much the template for most of them.
The articles talks about Gildarts being a clear rip-off of Shanks and I agree to that one. This image on the other hand I do not. There is some similarities yes but every image ,beside the Shanks one, has the characters be very different from each other. Doffy and Angel are two very different characters plus I really doubt that Cobra likes Natsu in the same way that Hancock likes Luffy. Plus how is Rob Lucci the same thing as Elfman's Takeover?
Rapid fire opinion time. I kinda agree with the Zoro one, I don't agree with the Gajeel and Dragon parallel, I agree with the Franky House and Phantom Lord Raid, and the Lucy and Otohime parallel is really stretching it. I'm a fan of both series but I enjoy them for two different reasons. I enjoy Fairy Tail since it got me into Manga and Anime and One Piece I enjoy on how you can make me like a character a lot aka Katakuri or hate a character a lot aka Carrot and Smoothie.
You know why I don't like those two if you've read my rants and like my very obvious man crush on Laxus, Katakuri is known as well so not a big shock. That's all I had to say on that being that this chapter starts off just where the last one ended so if you need a quick refresher, read the end of Chapter 44 and come back. We'll be waiting so enjoy Fairy Legion Chapter 45 whose title makes no sense. I do know the difference between magma and lava but to me, it's the same thing.
Narrator P.O.V.
The duo of Dante and Juvia turned toward Zane who had changed from a normal looking human into a giant twelve foot creature. He has a bulky frame mainly in the upper body but his lower body is still quite strong. He has broad shoulders with him having black scales over his body and white scales that cover his chest, under part of his arms, his legs, and around his eyes. He has a large dorsal fin sticking out of his back and the sides of his arms which work as weapons.
His eyes are covered by white patches with his large green pupils having several black rings around them. He has a cybernetic eye. He has three walrus tusks sticking out of his wrists very much like claws. He wears two bandoleers across his chest. He wears a navy blue parka with a white fur hood and orange jeans. He wears no shoes. He wields a large sledge hammer with ice spikes. "Hope you are ready to go down by Cetacean Form!" said Zane.
Upon seeing this form, Juvia lifted a brown in confusion and interest. While she stalked him, she had not seen this form and what it could do but she was going to fire out what. Zane took a deep breath with Dante blinking. "Oh. I think I get what he mean earlier." said Dante. The giant whale released a giant blizzard at the magma creatures being that all of them were frozen solid along with the streets around them. "Okay. That's cold." said Dante.
Juvia nodded as she watched a thick cloud of steam hissed off the frozen snakes's body. Their bodies were trying to produce enough heat to escape from their frozen prison. Dante watched the giant whale move at a speed that was very impressive for his size. He headed toward the den and upon getting close enough, he swung his hammer at them. His single swing broke the den into pieces. "Yep. I think if they're encased in a substance, they can't absorb the magic. Just like the Osmdroid." thought Zane.
A new Magmamire came climbing out of the fissure but it didn't get a chance to fight since it was blasted in the face by an red energy beam. Zane turned to see Levy aiming her weapon at the snake with her throwing him a thumbs up. "Wow. Nice shot. It was probably due to the weapon's auto aim but for a human, not bad." said Kane. That Magmamire was sliced vertically by Dante's sword, cutting it half.
Another Magmamire stood over Dante and cocked back its left hand, ready to strike him down before going after the giant whale. The snake didn't have a chance to do that since there was a giant hole in the center of it. Juvia had fired a high pressurized burst of water toward the snake and this caused the Magmamire's death. "Permafrost Emperor Silver Network!" said Zane as he slammed his down on the ground and threw Dante into the air much to his confusion.
The area around Zane had a web of ice around him being that four Magmamires were frozen upon coming in contact with the frozen web. Dante landed back on the ground with him looking at Zane and he said,"Um. You do know that I can handle the cold right?". "Yeah but you can't be too careful these days. So instead of complaining, how about we fight the snakes?" said Zane. Dante nodded as he put his sword on his back. "Gotcha. Tornado!" said Dante.
He made a tornado appear around the frozen snakes and the intense wind picked up the frozen snakes, sending them into the air. Zane jumped toward the four of them with him hitting two of them with his hammer, breaking them into pieces. Another one was destroyed by Juvia's Water Slicer and the final one was destroyed by a giant pillar of ice from Dante. Zane landed on the ground with him taunting the two new Magmamire who roared at Zane.
The duo reared back their hands, preparing to fire their magma breath. Zane saw this coming from a mile away as he said,"I'll handle these two since they really need to chill out.". The whale threw toward the snakes, causing their mouths to be destroy upon hitting the hammer. As the two snakes staggered back mainly from the pain of the hammer toward their mouths, Zane launched himself toward them.
Zane cocked his right fist back and upon getting close to the snakes, the punch instantly broke the two of them and their bodies fell apart into rocky piles. Their flames were extinguished. Zane landed smoothly with him throwing up a thumbs up. Dante and Juvia threw one back to him being that for some reason, the two powerful wizards felt fatigued. It was confusing since both of them just got started and they shook it off.
With their opponents, the four man team regrouped and began to think of what the next action should be. "That takes care of them." said Levy. "Yeah but for now. We need to start aiming for the nest rather than the single members. If we don't, a person could get in danger because we missed one." said Zane, grabbing his hammer. "And I think I know how we can do that." said Dante with him pointing to a large fissure in the street.
They made their way toward it being that Juvia looked down upon reaching the edge. There were gold colored cracks stretching their ways into the deep dark depths of Earthland. "From what I saw, ice and water is their weakness. Do you mind staying in that form for now Zane?" said Juvia. "Sure thing. We're on a schedule so lets get going gang." aid Zane. Zane jumped into the fissure first with the others following.
A few seconds later, Zane landed on the ground and the earth below him denting inwards from his weight. Dante landed gracefully on his feet next to him with Zane catching both Juvia and Levy with the latter girl saying thankful. Juvia would have as well but well, she was blushing. "He caught me like a princess!" thought Juvia. Zane put Juvia and Levy down as they took a moment to look around and study their surroundings.
They appeared to be in a large, deep cavern with pools of lava in random spots. The ground and walls around them were cracked and colored like fire. Levy looked upwards toward the crack in the ceiling and it was at least fifty feet up. Bits of sunlight was creeping in. "So Zane. Can the Vladmires jump really high?" said Levy. "Not the ones I fought against. Pretty sure their creator got rid of their fire weakness but gave them the ability to manipulate lava and to dunk." said Zane.
Dante nodded as he said,"Yeah Levy. They could have also climbed up the walls as well. So mind telling me where we're not burning alive?". "Oh that's because of me Dante. My body is naturally producing a invisible frost and keeping you all from burning alive. I also have a theory that all beings in this dimension are naturally protected from high temperatures. Just stay close since I can be wrong." said Zane, earning a nod from Levy.
As Juvia glanced around, she said,"So do you think anyone is home or did we kill them all? I mean we did murder a lot of snakes.". Levy didn't respond to her immediately as she saw multiple linear divots in the ground. Her eyes followed them until she saw that they led to a tunnel at the end of the cave. Zane followed her gaze and saw the tracks that Levy found. "Nice job Levy. Got the eye of a detective don't you?" said Zane.
Levy nodded as she said,"Thanks Zane. You learn to pay attention to critical details when you read a lot of books. Let's follow them. I'm sure that they'll lead us straight to their nest and the person who created them.". Without any argument, the group followed Levy into the tunnel but stayed close to the living freezer aka Zane. They were on guard for any attack. The issue of light wasn't a thanks since they had the natural lighting of glowing gold colored cracks all over the walls and ceiling.
The group would come across some lava that poured out of the walls and block the path. It was easily resolved by Juvia blasting the obstacle with water, turning the molten rock into stone and the boys breaking it. A few minutes later as the group hiked their way through the tunnel, the three wizards felt a sudden exhaustion. Suddenly, the trio stopped walking and hunched over a little. "Girls! Are you okay?" said Zane, concerned. "What about me jerk?" groaned Dante.
Zane shrugged as he said,"I've known you only for a couple of days. I'll feel sad if you die but the girls are part of the guild I work for plus one is my girlfriend.". As the two argued, Juvia tried to figure out why her strength was slowly being drained from her. "We're fine Zane. Just a little dizzy right Levy?" said Juvia. "Is it because of the heat? I mean it's getting pretty toasty like we're inside of a oven." said Zane.
Levy nodded as she said,"You're right Zane. I'm sure it's because we're getting close to Mt. Hasador and we'll be fine okay? Like you said, we're more tolerant of higher or colder temperatures.". "Okay but if you want to go back or use one of my...." said Zane. He was stopped by Levy's determined look. "I'm fine Zane. See?" said Levy, standing up. Zane watched her take a few steps forward before he and the others followed.
While they walked, Zane was wondered why Levy and the others felt dizzy but he remember how he had the Magmamires absorbing Ethernano in the air like the Osmdroid can. "Okay. Something is clearly wrong. The wizards didn't feel the fatigue back on the surface since you froze them all before they could began absorbing Ethernano. However, I think the absorbing effect is stronger down here and I doubt you could block it." said Azalea.
Before Zane could respond to her, he saw them heading toward a large opening ahead. When the duo exited from the tunnel, they were in an enormous cavern. The ceiling above them was so high that it was shrouded by darkness but the tips of the rocky stalagmites were hanging above them. Magma or lava poured from holes in the ground and wall. It reminded Zane of his candy syrup in terms of its viscosity, forming pools of molten rock in various spaces.
Like the tunnel before, the cave wall had a spider-web of gold colored cracks that provided light for the Fairy Tail members and their Lamia Scale ally to see. In random spots across the cavern, a batch of gold Lacrima jutted out from the many rocks surrounding them. It was impressive. "You guys. I have an idea. After we handle these snakes, we should build a race car track here and play Shut up and Drive!" said Zane, smiling brightly.
The three wizards looked at Zane in confusion. The group took a few steps into the cavern before the ground began to shake and Crisis Judgement went off. All of a sudden, a den of Magmamires bursts from the earth and surrounded the group within seconds. The fire colored eyes glared at them as they let out angry roars. "It's brawling time wizards! Put up your dukes!" said Zane, getting into a battle stance.
The magma-based creatures extended their talons at the peak and let out roars that would shattered a glass shop before charging at the group. Zane held up his arms and fired out two powerful jets of ice at the nearest incoming Magmamire. The demons ,being that the ice spread out, cried out in pain as a cloud of steam was made from instant contact with the frozen water. Dante leapt ahead of Zane with him reared back his sheathed sword.
Several ice dragons appeared around him with him saying,"Ice Make: Dragon Storm!". The dragons began flying toward the Magmamires, causing an explosion of ice. This destroyed the Magmaire that Zane hit earlier and sent the rest into the wall. The fight wasn't even close to ending as another group of Magmamires attacked from behind the duo. Juvia spun around and fired a whip of water at them which caused them to stagger back in pain.
Levy aimed her weapon at them with her saying,"Solid Script: Bullet!". The gun began firing out a continuous outburst of energy pellets from the word appearing above her. As they were distracted by the pellets, they were destroy by a red energy bullet from the main weapon. This den of snakes was now rubble. Juvia had fallen to her knees, panting. She felt weak after a simple spell like that. "What is going on? I've barely used my magic power and I'm already winded." thought Juvia.
The bluehaired woman was almost taken off guard when three magma-snakes charged at her but they were blasted off their feet by a giant fist. Juvia collected herself and stood back. She looked over at Zane who smirked. "If you want to sit this one out, I don't blame you but..." said Zane. A magma snake was charging at him but was sent sliding back thanks to it getting blasted directly by a blizzard from Zane. Its rocky skin hardened.
Before it could recover by absorbing the wizards's Ethernano, Zane punched it and shattered it into pieces. "Okay. As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." said Zane. "I'm fine! Just keep fighting Zane!" said Juvia. She crocked low and jumped high. In the middle of the air, she gathered an absurd amount of water. "This is for you Beloved! Wings of Love!" said Juvia, raising her left hand high and swing it downwards.
While doing this, she swung her extend right arm back and upwards. This created a ferocious whirlpool laced with neon pink hearts. A group of snakes were confused by the waters before being swept away by the current of love. "Wow. She's tough. I mean she looked terrible earlier after that whip earlier but she got back up." said Lucifer. "Yeah. You shouldn't piss her off any time soon Zane. Just my advice though." said Cole.
Zane ignored his robotic ally for a moment as half a dozen magma-snakes rushed toward him, fury blazing through them. Zane made a copy of Cetacean Form appear as he deactivated the form. "You stay here and be a nice chill zone." said Zane, earning a nod from the cetacean. Zane rushed toward them with him releasing two Mojo blasts at them. This hit three of them as the other three either went to the left or right to evade the attack.
The volcanic snakes ceased their charge about thirty yards from Zane, staring at him. "This is like a stand off except it ain't high noon and I ain't got a pistol on me." said Zane, ending his quip with a western accent. "Haven't we told you not to do the Western accent unless you're in a form that does Zane?" said Athena. Zane shrugged as the snake trio reeled back their head and fired three concentrated blast of magma from their mouths.
The trio of magma blasts fused together midway, forming a huge pillar of molten rock which went right toward Zane like a heating seeking missile. Zane blinked with him saying,"Ha! I've faced bigger! Zenith Smash!". He stretches his right arm back behind him, eventually cocked it back to him. During the travel, Zane’s arm ignites in flames ,thanks to friction, being that it’s moving so fast being untraceable about to normal eyes.
When the two objects collided, there was an explosion of flames from Zane's attacks. Most of the magma pillar was shattered in stone but the rest still went toward Zane. It crashed into Zane with him slamming into the cave wall hard. Zane was stuck to the rock for a second and he said,"Okay. I guess I forgot that you guys are now magic based. Ouch.". He peeled off and fell to the ground hitting it face first. "Zane!" said the trio.
The trio was about to come to her friend's aid before a dozen magma-snakes burst away of the ground in front of all of them. This means that thirty six Magmamires came rushing out of the ground. The three were ready to engage being that with how many of them were there, they wouldn't be getting to Zane anytime soon. Zane groaned painfully, shakily picking himself off the ground. He stood back up and stretched.
He may be able to survive getting punched by a man whose fists can break apart small hills ,also known as mountains, with a single punch but magic was still a pain in his ass. Zane looked to see a crowd of magma snakes charging straight toward him. "I think it's time for me to go above and beyond with you guys or Plus Ultra. It works regardless." said Zane, turning into Torrent Form before glowing bright purple. Zane was now in Torrent Prime.
He's now 12 feet tall, still floating in the air. Instead of looking like a humanoid jellyfish, his body looks more like a mixture of a ghost and octopus. He looked muscular than before. His body is still a gray color. It's slightly transparent, exposing his inner organs. His organs are dark indigo blotches that form a torrent or current of energy. He now has eight tentacles coming out of his body rather than the area where his shoulders and thighs would be like Torrent Form.
These eight tentacles are black on the underside while losing the fins. The ends of them have a golden brace at the end of them, produce steel gray energy that can form into four fingers or toes. His legs are a wisp like tail. His face has a black design that's similar to a domino mask covering it. He now has four pupil-less white eyes, forming an "X" shaped pattern. His eyes have a black outline. He still has no mouth.
He's still wearing the same clothing as Torrent Form but the red dots on his suit can absorb more energy than before. The seemingly mindless beasts were clearly not intimidated as they charged at Zane, letting out roars of anger. "Oh just shut up already you overgrown garden snakes. You're more annoying than rats with wings which is saying a lot." said Zane, with him aiming six of his eight tentacles at them.
Two of them fired a powerful torrent of water, two others fired a powerful torrent of ice, and the final two fired a powerful torrent of air. The crowd of snakes were easily blasted away by the combination of air, ice, and water. Upon reaching the other side of the cave, their bodies obliterated due to the fast and intense pressure of Zane's triple element combination. Zane turned his head around to look at his group.
They had successfully taken out most of them who tried and attacks since rocks were scattered about and in multiple pieces. About sixteen of the thirty six remained and surrounded them. Dante was protecting Juvia and Levy with both of them sweating like crazy. Dante wasn't doing much better as he was braced on one knee, breathing heavily. "Really hate these overgrown snakes." said Dante with him facing in and out of reality.
Zane's eyes began to widen in fear being that the three were being drained of their Ethernano at a faster rate due to the amount of them and how close they are. Without wasting a single second, Zane aimed all tentacles at the den of snakes who weren't paying attention. He made sure that each tentacle fired out a different element (air, darkness, earth, electricity, fire, ice, light, and water) stream out of them.
The eight streams went toward the snakes, getting destroyed by them and caused an explosion of steam thanks to the fire and ice stream. Some of the snakes were electrocuted despite not getting hit by the electricity stream. They were hit by the water stream earlier and the water came in contact with the sparks from the electricity stream. Zane glared at them with him saying,"Hope you learn your place. Don't absorb my friend's magic or else you die.".
The snakes were sent flying into the cave walls by a tornado coming from Zane's tentacles, shattering upon contact. Levy lifted her head and stared at Zane. She could tell that Zane was worried about her despite not showing it. He deactivated the form once he was sure that the snakes were gone. "Are you okay Levy?! You better not tell me that you're fine because I ain't in the mood! None of you better not say that you are either!" said Zane.
Levy grunted her teeth as she said,"No. It feels like all of the magic is sucked out of me.". "Us too Zane." groaned Dante and Juvia. Before Zane could say anything, the ground shook violently again being that Zane groaned. Over fifty Magmamires came popped out of the ground and surrounded the group. They extended their razor sharp talons and roared deafeningly. Zane noticed that the three wizards winced in pain and the magma snakes smiled.
Zane's eyes widened before glaring at them in anger. "You fucking bastards. I'll make you all pay for draining them!" said Zane, eyes glowing red. "Huh?" said Dante. "These bastards are draining your magic because they find it so tasty. It's why you're weak right now." said Zane. Juvia's eyes widened as she knew her beloved was right like always. The moment she fought the snakes was around the same time she got weak.
The situation had just gotten a lot more complicated. "You're right Zane." said Juvia, struggling to keep herself from fainting. The snakes roared again before they charged at Zane and company. Zane began charging up Vibration and he said,"Vibration Roar!". He released it out of his body through his mouth. It's a huge stream of dark red sound wave which has a noticeable bass sound to it. The snakes were sent flying away upon getting hit with the sounds.
This barrage of sound sent over seventy five percent of the snakes into the wall, destroying them and Zane threw a VBRS down on the ground. It covered the entire area of smoke being that it blanketed the cave. Zane looked at the three wizards with him saying,"And with that, we're going to be exiting stage left.". "But..." said Dante. "Don't try that shit with me boy. If we stay here longer, you could die and I won't let my friends die when I could do something about it!" said Zane, glaring at him.
While Dante was confused, Juvia and Levy was sure that this side of Zane was here because of the scar that the Massacre left on him. "Fine then. Let's get out of here." said Dante being that before he could do anything, he was semi-conscious. "Dante!" shouted Zane. All of a sudden, ten Magmamire burst out of the smoke straight at Zane. Zane aimed his left arm at them with him saying,"Go the hell away bastards!".
He fired a giant beam of Primordial energy, erasing them from this dimension. Crisis Judgement went off as a Magmamire appeared at Zane's side and reared back its fists over its head. It was prepared to smash Zane into the ground but its attack was going to fail hard. Zane dodged the fists by turned intangible and caused the snake to smash the ground instead. The snake growled but it was kicked in the face by extremely dense and pressure-activated hammers aka Zane's left leg.
They were black and steel gray. It was instantly demolished being that five more snakes ran out of the smoke cloud and stopped twenty yards to Zane's right. They cocked back their heads and fired out torrents of magma from their months. Zane simply looked at them with him saying,"You idiots piss me off. Karmic Glare!". He fired a small but powerful Karmic Limbo from his eyes. This pierced right through the magma easily. It stuck the five snakes, destroying them.
Zane was pretty sure that there was still a couple of them, waiting in the smoke and just ready to strike him when his back is turned. "Oh gods dam it. I'm a fucking moron." said Zane, facepalming himself. He released a circular purple wave of energy, knocking out all of the Magmamires upon it hitting the energy. The smoke cleared to see all of them were out cold and Zane sighed. "Okay. You are all done. Time to get all of you out of her before fate decides to fuck me over." said Zane.
He turned toward the trio of Dante, Juvia, and Levy who were all lying on the ground. He ran toward Juvia since she was the closest to him. The fatigues woman weakly lifted her head off the ground and opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first but it instantly refocused upon seeing Zane coming to her aid. Without warning, six Magmamire came out of the ground twenty yards behind Zane. When the demons reared back their heads, Juvia's eyes widened. "Zane.." said Juvia.
Zane smiled with him saying,"Don't worry Juvia. I got this.". "Look out beloved!" shouted Juvia with Crisis Judgement going off. Zane turned around to see the six firing their lava breath attacks right at him. "It's cute how you think that you six can stop me after surviving unlike your brothers or sisters. I don't know what gender you are but I don't care. Predatory Bombardment!" said Zane. He launched a giant seven-leaf clover on concentrated Impulse being obsidian black.
The attack looked impossible to avoid due to its size and its ability to draw in inorganic matter to use as substance, making it bigger the process. The magma beams collided with the giant energy attack and the snakes's eyes widened as their combo failed. They were hit by Zane's attack and sent flying into the wall, shattering. Zane blinked with him saying,"Okay. I have an idea and I hope you three don't hate me for doing this.". He turned into Camouflage Form and turned invisible.
A few minutes later, three Magmamires approached the beaten wizards and standing over them in confusion. According to their destroyed brothers, there was four of them but they only counted three of them. They shrugged as one of the magma monsters slithered forward and summoned a green sphere of magma on its upper left hand. It kneel down and placed the green magma ball on both of Dante's wrists after crossing them with its lower right arm.
It meandered toward Juvia and Levy, repeating its prior actions. Unlike the magma that they had fought before, it was cold. The magma instantly hardened and trapped their hands in a stone chunk with Dante using whatever strength he had left. He wasn't the weakest wizard in terms of physical strength but he should have been able to break out. However, it wasn't the case this time around. The water woman tried to muster up enough strength to escape. She couldn't just like Dante.
Levy would have tried this as well but she isn't on the same level in terms of strength as her two allies. A Magmamire grabbed Dante by the back of his jacket and two of the other Magmamires grabbed Juvia and Levy. They dragged the weakened trio across the ground. Levy was confused on why they weren't be burned from their touch. "I guess that they can control the amount of fire that they produce maybe. I'm too exhausted to thank of a more detailed reason." thought Levy.
Three members of the snake quartet were dragged the wizards into another tunnel across the cavern with all seven (human or not) didn't noticed that Zane was stalking them. Zane glanced over to his partners and he clearly observed that they were breathing heavily and struggling to stay awake. Their energy ,which was like their blood, was being sucked out of them right in front of his eyes. It took all of his strength not to attack the four snakes for hurting his friends.
Zane went up to the closest member of his group with him whispering,"Don't worry. Just hang on for a bit longer Juvia. I'm sure we'll see whose behind the curtain.". "Beloved. I'm so tired. Are you here?" moaned Juvia. Zane looked at his friend in concern being that if he didn't do anything soon, Dante, Juvia, and Levy would have their magic energy drained by these snakes. He instantly remember when the crybaby did this to the coward.
The thought of something like this happen to someone he cared about made his protective side come out in full force. A few minutes later, the tunnel came to an end and opened up into a much larger cavern. The Fairies and Lamia were dragged across a stone bridge which just so happened to be over a giant pit of magma which was bubbling. There was over two hundred magma snakes were spaced out across the pit and mining the gold colored lacrimas jutted out from the magma.
Zane stopped in the center of the bridge with him using his 360 degree vision to scope the entire area within seconds. There was more Magmamires standing on cliffs that hung on the cave walls and above the magma pit. They were also mining for the rocks that they were there. "Okay. They're going after these damn rocks but why?" thought Zane. Zane paused his though for now being that he saw the snakes that were dragging his friends put them onto the ground.
It was close by being that Zane went over to them. The wizards struggled to pick themselves up with their arms stuck under their weights. They did find enough strength to sit up thanks to an invisible Zane but they didn't know that. The wizards and superhero's attention was gained by a man with him standing before them. He's six foot tall with him having broad shoulders and a muscular figure. He has green, spiky hair with most of it covered by a black fedora.
His blue eyes are sharp and cold. He has a goatee and mustache. He's wearing a black long sleeved shirt over a red vest with a hood that was covering his head. He's wearing brown pants that's ripped around the ends. He wears black flats. He's wearing a medallion ,that's from some war, around his neck. He's wearing a confident, smug smirk on his face. Zane's eyes narrowed at the man being that he was very familiar to him. "I expected one of you pretenders to show up." said the man.
He spoke in a cook, slick voice. "I didn't expect the famous Frozen Strawberry of Lamia Scale and the Rain Woman of the former guild Phantom Lord to be the pretenders who decided to interrupt my operations." said the man. He took off his fedora and bowed slightly to them. "I'm so humble to meet two famous wizards and I really do hope my minions wasn't too soft on you. I have trouble creating them since I don't have Liasada like my student does." said the man.
The trio of wizards simply glared at the man, shifting his gaze to Levy. "And who are you?" said the man. "Levy McGarden." said Levy in a dry tone. "Oh! I remember you know. You're dating that new and powerful wizard from Fairy Tail. He has forms that remind me of an old pal of mine. He ruined my chances of eternal youth back when he was around your age." said the man. "So. You're the one in charge of this place aren't you?" said Levy.
The man put his hat back on as he said,"That's correct. My name is Lewis Haynes. My friends and enemies call me General Necrosis. I'm glad to be at your service.". Juvia and Levy's eyes widened in shock. "Necrosis?" said Juvia. She remember hearing about this man from Zane. "Yes. I'm sure that you remember meeting Zane's old friend Bimbo." said Lewis. "Bimbo? Is that seriously a name a person would give to another?" said Dante.
Lewis shrugged as he said,"I got to agree with you there but the god like being who created her from a loser gave her that name. I don't know why she decided to pick a fight with the current strongest guild in this kingdom? None of them except for Legion Zero is actually strong enough to fight me but she has the ability to get people to follow her. It's because her body is so amazing.". "So you're mad at Zane for taking down bimbo aren't you?" said Levy.
The sorcerer laughed with him saying,"No little girl. Why in the nine realms would I care about someone who I felt pity for? I only brought her to this dimension since she was crying non stop about her mistress. She's still in her specialized prison after causing the Massacre and also the destruction of one of the dinosaur dimensions.". "So why did you bring her to this dimension if you don't care about her?" said Juvia.
Dante looked at the trio with him saying,"Huh?". "I used her as a way to distract Zane because I knew she would go after him if she had a chance. She hates him just like I do. However, I always wanted to get some revenge on the people whom Zane cares about after he got my prized student and myself arrested more times than I would like." said Lewis. He reared back his fist and punched Juvia in the gut, making her double over in pain.
Zane snarled at Lewis for punching his friend/possible girlfriend. He wanted to retaliate but couldn't blow his cover. "Why are you doing this then? And hitting a lady. That's just sad." said Dante. Lewis shrugged as he snapped his fingers. As a result of this action, a random magmamire approached him and carried one of the gold lacrimas. He made a steel gauntlet appear over his left hand and grabbed the gold lacrima from the magma snake.
He stepped a few feet from it before turning his attention back to the wizards. "This rock is unique. It's very similar to lacrima due to it being able to store magic inside of it but it can absorb Ethernano from the area around it. I doubt you pretenders could survive without any form of metal protecting you from its power. You'll be drained like a battery within seconds. I'm wearing metal since because I had my already impressive Animus infused with this dimension's raw magic power." said Lewis.
Lewis aimed his left hand at a nearby duo of Magmamires ,who were digging out the lacrima like crystal, and fired out a green Animus beam. This destroyed the two of them but left the gold lacrima perfectly in tact. "As you can see, these beauties have the ability to survive being blasted by my Animus. I call it Bruorenite. Alongside the ability to absorb magic, they increase a Sorcerer's natural magic power so I had an idea." said Lewis.
He pointed to the Magmamire who were digging out the Bruorenite. "Look at them. If I mine more of them and let them absorb Ethernano, they'll give me more strength. These Magmamires were based of the Vladmires infused with lava and magma. I borrowed one of Salem's spells in creating minions but they're much stronger than her minions. They're so obedient, hardworking, and best of all. They can absorb the Ethernano of the area around them and wizards." said Lewis.
He smiled with him saying,"Upon absorbing any Ethernano, it transfers directly to me. With all of this power under my control, I'll be able to finally kill the biggest pain in the Omniverse aka Legion Zero!". The Sorcerer began laughing like an evil super villain with Juvia sitting back up after getting over the pain in her gut from Lewis's punch. It all began to come together in Zane's head. Lewis had created the Magmamire in order to gain more power.
These crystals were probably a result of this dimension's raw Impulse taking a solid form. In his lust for power, Lewis ordered his magma snakes to oppress Grimcroft Spas. This was to make sure that the town would have to call upon wizards from the local guilds in order to get his Magmamires to suck their Ethernano from them and give back to him. It explained how the trio of Dante, Juvia, and Levy felt weak when facing these monsters. "You're a power hungry monster." said Levy.
Lewis smiled with him saying,"Thank you for that nice complement.". A magma snake slithered across the stone bridge and stood ten yards behind the wizards. It let out a series of grunts and snarls being that Lewis's face took on a sinister smile. "We're that close. Tell the group to keep on mining and inform me once when we reach the Grimcroft Soul okay?" said Lewis. The monsters slowly nodded his body in acknowledgement before it turned and slithered off.
Zane looked at Lewis with Cole saying,"So I know that you can speak snake Zane but can Lewis as well?". "We're going to get an answer so hush!" said Athena. "Before you ask, I'm able to order them since I'm the creator." said Lewis. "Um. I doubt that most people would ask you that." said Dante. "I blame Zane for me doing that. He always seem to ask the questions that no one else would be asking. I despise him like most of his enemies do because he never stops talking!" said Lewis.
Juvia blinked with her thinking,"Yep. That's Beloved for you.". "Hold on. What are you going to do with the Grimcroft Soul?" said Levy with her voice faltering slightly. "Since you three are going to die by these snakes or me, I'll tell you. The source of Grimcroft Soul isn't just Mt. Hasador but rather something interesting. It's raw crystalized Ethernano!" said Lewis. Juvia and Levy's eyes widened in shock with Dante saying,"Hold on. What's Ethernano?".
Lewis looked at him with him saying,"You can't be serious. You were born in this dimension and I'm the visitor but even I know what Ethernano is.". "Well, I just know that I can use magic and really don't care about how I can do that." said Dante shrugging. "Okay then Dante. Ethernano are magic particles that dwell in all living organisms and the atmosphere. They're the source of every wizard's power. Lacrima is just Ethernano taking a solid like form." said Levy.
Dante said,"I think Master Jura told me that once Levy but then I fell asleep. Too boring for me since I don't like the library.". "It's really concerning that such a famous and powerful wizard didn't know that. Ethernano is raw Impulse and pretty much the best form of magic in the Omniverse so my minions will absorb all of the Ethernano crystals with the hot spring. Once that happens, no one can stop me not even the Alliance!" said Lewis.
Juvia looked at him with her saying,"You can't! If you're telling the truth and drain the Grimcroft Soul, the people of Grimcroft Spas will die by winter time!". "Um. I'm evil and frankly my dear, I don't give a damn. I mean I'll be gone from this dimension and taking over the Omniverse so why would the cold both me?" said Lewis. "You would endanger the lives of innocents just to become stronger! You bastard!" yelled Levy, her eyes burning with rage.
Lewis looked at her with him saying,"Okay. You and Zane are perfect together. He's called me a bastard just because I was planning on doing a genocide. Okay, I'm done with you three so take them to jail you three.". The Magmamire stepped forward with them grabbing Dante by the back of his jacket and the girls were grabbed. As Zane followed them, he glared at Lewis. The tunnel that the Magmamire were heading down lead into another large cavern.
Said cavern had a series of lava/magma tube like entrances across the cave walls with the snakes pulling the wizards into one of them. One minute later, they reached the end of the tunnel aka a pit with a large amount of Bruorenite scattered in it. This was the room where Lewis stored all of the minerals that the Magmamire mined. You may wonder why Lewis would make this spot his prison but Lewis is really old and tends to make mistakes often.
The wizards yelped in surprise when they were thrown into the shallow pit. They crashed in a spot that was devoid of the mineral but the rocky ground wasn't exactly the softest place to land. Groans escaped through their throats due to the rather painful impact. Dante clenched his eyes tight and grinded his teeth from the stinging sensation that washed over him. He weakly opened his eyes and struggled to sit up.
He slowly turned his head and gave the pit a good look over. Without any doubt, Lewis currently had over ten tones of the magic-stealing mineral inside of the cavern. This of course didn't bode well for anyone in their group. Juvia rolled over onto her front and tried to sit up. However, her muscles failed since she got up and close with the ground. The water woman moaned in agony, feeling her magic power leaving her up.
Zane ,who had watched all of this happen, heard her moan and turned to her. Seeing how weak and hurt he looked, Zane went into action. He went up to the three Magmamires and spit green goo/slime at them. The creatures groaned loudly in pain before they melt away. To make sure that no one bothers them, Zane made a giant wall of the stuff before jumping down into the pit. While falling, he deactivated the form and appeared in front of them. "You guys!" said Zane.
Levy looked at Zane with her saying,"Zane. The rocks are stealing our power.". "Yeah. I kinda got that from the not so good general. Still a senile old fool. He really should know that if Zero's special lady and friends are around, I'm not that far behind." said Zane. He turned into a classic form of his being Gunslinger Form. He's 8 feet tall. He's a humanoid muscular grayish white fur bandicoot with a brown long and pointed nose, thick eyebrows, and purple eyes.
He has his green hair go down his neck covering it. His right eye is covered by his hair. On his head, he wears a black classic style cowboy hat with a silver metallic plate in the center. He wears a denim short-sleeved brown shirt with a open crimson red vest over it. He has two bandoliers crossing his chest like an X. He wears a red bandanna with a western feel to it around his neck and can move it to cover his mouth. He wears blue denim jeans with them being well-fitting and it has metal plates on the knees.
He pulled out his pistols in a single motion. Both of them looked normal being that Outlaw is black with a skull symbol and Lockjaw is silver with a cuff symbol. They both have a swing out cylinder with a rapid-fire trigger. He fired them toward a pile of Bruorenite, causing a explosion. Zane began blasting apart every piece of mineral he could see with each hit making an explosion and these explosions shake the pit.
Debris from the ceiling fell onto the floor. After finishing his attack, he put his pistols back in their holster and turned to see the limp, unconscious trio of wizards. He put Dante and Levy over both of his shoulders and carried Juvia in his arms. "Um Zane. Hate to be a back seat hero here. Should Juvia and Levy switch places?" said Lucifer. Zane ignored him as he began to digging his way ,using his feet, through the pit and back to the tunnel.
The exact second Zane left the tunnel, big chunks of the ceiling collapsed into the pits and filled the cavern completely with rocks. "May have gone overboard but I don't care. Lewis is going to pay for hurting the innocent people of Grimcroft and you guys. No one hurts my friends." said Zane as he clenched his teeth. He heard a groggy groan from the wizards with him placing them gently on the ground. Juvia's eyes slowly fluttered open, feeling her strength returning.
She blinked twice when her gaze fell upon Zane and his animal like face. "So are you okay there little lady?" said Zane, tipping his hat toward her. Juvia got over her surprise at Zane's transformation and sat up, holding her aching forehead. "You guys know that I can wait until all of you are back at full strength. Need it against the General since he ain't the type of partner to hold back." said Zane as he cracked his neck.
Levy shook her head as she said,"We're fine Zane. I'm sure that our magic energy is coming back to us.". "That's good." said Zane. "Not really since it won't do us any good if our magic gets drained again by being near those snakes. I may not know about who you really are Zane but I trust you so what's the plan?" sad Dante. Zane knew that his friend was right but was sure that he had to explain his past once again. Dante, Juvia, and Levy wouldn't last long in another fight with the Magmamires.
It took him a few seconds to come up with a plan. He remembered when he cooled the demons with either ice and water, deactivating the snake's magic absorbing powers. Juvia had done the same with her magic. Once the Magmamire were cooled down and turned into stone, their magic absorbing power were negated. "I got it. I think that our victories is obvious partner. When I cool them down, you weren't weak right?" said Zane.
Juvia nodded with her saying,"Um Zane. Do you mind deactivating your form? Your accent is giving me a headache.". "Have to agree with her on that one. To answer your question, I didn't feel week so what's the plan?" said Dante. "Everyone is a critic of little old me but whatever, I need to become a living storm to defeat the enemy." said Zane, turning into another new form we haven't seen before now. It's Storm Form. He’s twelve feet tall with him having a muscular humanoid build.
His body is made out of a dark gray organic substance like water. It has faint dark blue accents in the form of curvy, swirling stripes. These markings are primarily around his chest, forehead, temples, and upper back. It’s smooth looking with it lacking any visible sharp edges or ridges. He has two large glowing dark gold eyes with black pupils. It has black lightning bolt markings around his eyes. His mouth looks rather small being that it a thin slit that opens and close when he talks.
It can stretch open and expand to freakish proportions. As it grows horizontally or vertically, more of his many black obsidian teeth are exposed. Al of his teeth are sharp. Two of his teeth come out of his mouth, working as fangs. He has a red tongue. He has gills on the sides of his neck. He has four arms with four long clawed fingers and two legs with four long clawed toes. His arms and legs's appearance are very similar to tornadoes.
He wears steel gray metallic armor that he wears over the upper half of his body and has a molten gold "LZ" in the center of his chest. He wears a black muscle shirt, dark green urban combat pants, and dark gray combat boots. The wizards eyed this transformation peculiarly being that they didn't know what it was. Despite their unique outer appearance, Levy knew that all of his Zane's forms were all very powerful.
Since he could see his group's confusion, Zane aimed his lower right arm at the cave wall and fired out a steady stream of water from it. The wall was instantly covered in steam which eventually got absorbed into Zane's body. "So you have another form with water powers? I don't know if I should be jealous of you or not." said Juvia in a teasingly tone. "I think you wouldn't be jealous since you're better than Gray. This one can make ice as well. My plan is simple." said Zane.
He smiled with him saying,"I'll either blow them, freeze them, or soak them and you break them okay? Pretty simple if you ask me.". "Okay. Lets get moving!" said Levy. "So since we're short on time, we need to get moving fast so hang on tight. Thunder Emperor Black Panther!" said Zane with him producing a lot of thunder. Several panther came out of it and the wizards got on the back of them. Zane's legs fused together, forming into a giant tornado.
He moved down the hallway fast with the electrical felines following him. "So is Zane just full of surprises?" said Dante. "Yes. It's what he does best." said Juvia. The four were back in the main cavern with Lewis standing on the stone bridge that was over the magma pit. There was an octuplets close by. The sorcerer's eyes widened in both annoyance and shock when he saw his most hated rival of the mystical arts standing there with the wizards.
Zane came to a stop with his legs turning back to normal. He stood at the end of the rock bridge, with him glaring hard at the sorcerer. "Zero! How are those wizards alive or even able to move?! They should be drained now!" said Lewis. "It's actually very simple. Members of Fairy Tail and possible Lamia Scale are stubborn and don't go down without a fight. I thought you know how I have the ability to appear whenever you're doing your evil scheme." said Zane.
Lewis clenched his fists and growled. "Destroy them! Aim at Zane specifically!" yelled Lewis with him pointing at Zane. The eight magma snakes ,standing beside Lewis, slithered toward and formed a wall between their master and enemy. They reared back their heads and fired eight magma torrents at them. "Would you believed me if I said that this isn't the first time I've heard him say that to me specifically?" said Zane.
He made a cloud appear in front of him, firing a barrage of hail and rain at the magma torrents. Upon the hail/rain combo meeting with the magma, the latter of which was turned into hard rocks. Zane's attack broke through and froze the eights upon contact. "You're up gang!" said Zane. Levy aimed her weapon at them with her saying,"Solid Script: Drill!". From her gun, she fired out several words that formed the word "Drill".
Upon leaving the gun, the words began spinning toward them and emanating drill-like sounds. The words shattered the statues with Levy smiling. Lewis on the other hand wasn't happy about how fast the couple defeated his minions. "You may have defeated this batch but I have more than this batch since I'm a genius!" said Lewis. Without warning, three dozen Magmamires jumped out of the magma pits below and onto the bridge.
They stood in front of their creator, ready to defend him with their lives. The heroes's attention was grabbed by noises behind him. They turned to see another two dozen snakes standing at the end of the bridge. The group was surrounded. Upon them appearing, the electricity panthers disappeared and caused the wizards to fall on the ground. The three wizards's magic power was getting sucked away from them.
Lewis folded his arms over his chest and smirked proudly. "You idiots should have learned that that my Magmamires are invincible since your Ethernano is only giving me more strength than ever before. Zane may be immune since he has more than Animus or Ethernano inside of him but he has his limits! He can't fight off my creatures and protect you pretenders!" said Lewis. Without taking a look to see Juvia's arms and legs tremble, Zane went into action.
He turned his legs into a singular tornado with him aiming his left arms at the snakes in front of him and his right arms at the snakes behind him. His left arms fired a combination of ice and lightning with his right arms firing a combination of lightning and water at his enemies. Most of the snakes were either frozen from the ice, turned into stone from the water, or blasted into pieces thanks to the lightning. The latter element is the most common.
After this elemental assault, forty five snakes survived Zane. Lewis growled being that he hated how strong Zane was. "You guys are up." said Zane. Juvia nodded rapidly with her making several water trident appear in the air around them. "Water Tridents!" said Juvia. The tridents came down on the frozen and stone snakes being that the tridents destroyed them. It also destroyed the stone bridge being that the group began to plum into the molten lava below.
Juvia blinked as she said,"Sorry you guys.". Zane shrugged with him making a cloud appear under him and his group. Dante touched the cloud with him saying,"Wow. This takeover is pretty cool. It beats that one you used on our modeling job.". "So what about Lewis?" said Levy. "Honestly, he'll be fine. I mean I did blast him with a giant fireball so being burned alive by lava/magma is like nothing to him." said Zane, smiling cheekily.
As this was going on, Lewis fell into the pit and made a splash. After a few seconds, he stood up waist deep in lava. "Huh. He looks fine to me." said Dante. "Yeah. His clothes were made with a special type of fabric that can resist the elements. Lewis may be an idiot but at least, he knows to pick the right clothing for a volcano." said Zane. The oldest being in the cavern tightened his fists and glared at Zane mainly.
It may have been Juvia who broke the bridge but who has always stopped his plans for power and Omniversal domination by insulting him at every turn? Waves of gold Animus irradiated off him. "Wow. He's really mad. Does that happen a lot with your villains?" said Juvia. "Yeah. I piss people off fast. It's because I either say something to get them mad." said Zane. "Dam you Zane! Even after all this time, you're a pain in my ass!" said Lewis.
Zane shrugged as he said,"I'll stop being one if you decided to give your evil ways.". "You won't foil this plan! Snakes of the magma, destroy them!" yelled Lewis. The den of at least three hundred Magmamires in the cavern ceased their mining and surrounded our heroes. Angered roars emanated from them as fire exhaled from their nose. Their dark red eyes glowed with blazing fury as they honed in on the four.
Levy groaned lightly with her body tremble in growing fatigue. With this large amount of Lewis's snakes around her, her magic power was being depleted again. Zane saw this with him knowing that he had to do something quick. Storm Form may be one of his best forms overall but compared to the Primes, he was just a frog in a large pond. He could do it with Storm Form but he would need to hit them hard and fast. "There is so many of them." said Levy.
Zane said,"Focus. The plan is the way to win. I take care of their magic absorbing and you guys destroy them.". "Do you honestly think you stop all of these snakes before our magic is completely drained?" said Zane. "Yes. They want me dead since Lewis hates me more than anything but I've handled a lot of enemies at once using one form. Let me show you." said Zane. He deactivated Storm Form but kept the cloud, turning into Thermal Form and glowing bright purple.
He was now Thermal Prime. Zane now look to be twelve feet tall with a more muscular frame. His body is now made out of obsidian black volcanic rocks that took the shape of armor. Any part of his body ,that wasn’t covered by his rock like armor, reveals his skin being a blood red color with streaks of white mimicking veins. His head is now covered in half flames and half ice with his skull sticking out. His skull is now made out of the same stone as his body.
His left wrist is covered in fire and his right wrist is covered by ice. His elbow still has large blades protruding from them. He now wears steel bands around his arms and legs. He’s still wearing his sleeveless black motorcycle vest which reveals his ice like ribs. He wears black gloves, pants, and boots. The big eye-catcher was the two long, red and white bio-organic metal cannons sticking out from his shoulders. "Thermal Prime!" said Zane.
Dante, Juvia, and Levy stared at the large hybrid creature in awe and intrigue. This form reminded Levy of Gray and Natsu if they decided to work together. Lewis took a step back being that he knew the strength of a Prime Form. He shook out of his fear with him glaring at Zane. "Change into any form you want Zane but your friends will be drained of their magic. I'll rule the Omniverse and you'll be dead!" said Lewis.
The snake clan let out earsplitting roars before charging at the group. "Okay. You guys really need to chill out." said Zane. "Really?" said Dante. "According to Sly, being a hero means you need to make bad jokes." said Juvia. As she said this, the cloud that she and the other two wizards moved into the air. Zane aimed both of his cannons in front of him. The cannons instantly fired out two beams of ice from them.
Upon the ice hitting the magma snakes, they instantly turned into igneous rocks. Zane shifted his feet together with him releasing out a stream of fire from them, launching them into the air. He began to spin, firing several beams of ice at the magma snakes. The subzero temperature was so cold being that it froze all of the magma in the pit. Due to Lewis being inside of the magma, the sorcerer's lower body was trapped in rock and caused him to shiver.
In two seconds flat, the entire den of Magmamires were all frozen and turned into rocks. As Zane stopped firing his ice beams, he landed on the ground and he said while his cannons having an icy mist coming out both of them,"And that's why they call me the coolest son of a bitch in the Nine Realms so what's next?". There was a icy mist billowing through the entire cavern which now had a igneous rock in the pit.
The wizard trio's mouth gaped with shock and looked at Zane with wide eyes. A second later, the bookworm closed her eyes and shook her head. She smiled as she said,"I think without any doubt in my mind, Gray would definitely envy you right now.". "Like he doesn't already but don't forget about Hatchling. Thermal Form isn't just a massive ice machine." said Zane, covering his hands in flames.
Lewis was shaking slightly and stared right at Thermal Form in fear. "Dam you Zane. Even after all of this time, you always interrupt my plans. Burning away the Fountain of Youth! Freezing away my Magmamires!" said Lewis. "Zane. Do you mind if we take it from here?" said Dante. "Sure. Go nuts you crazy kids." said Zane, making an ice recliner and he sat in it. Dante smiled as he rushed toward a handful of Magmamires and sliced right through them. He did this with his sword still sheathed.
Juvia swung her left arm as she said,"Water Slicer!". Several sharp blades of water appeared and they shattered through a good majority of rock snake. Levy pulled out of her weapon and destroyed the rest of them. "No. I will not suffer another defeat to him again!" thought Lewis. An idea popped into his mind but he would need to keep Zane busy. He made his steel gauntlet appear but there were two of them now.
He put both of them on his hands and made several shards of Bruorenite appear in front of him. He knew that his immense magic power would be kept from being drained due to the steel gauntlets on him. "It's a good thing these things taste like rock candy." said Lewis, eating them. After swallowing them, Lewis's blue eyes glowing gold. The black stone that trapped him from the waist down began to crack and molten once again.
Without any warning, a pillar of magma blasted out and encased him. The wizards and superhero looked at the triggered General Necrosis who was in a obelisk of molten rock. "Me thinks we made him mad. I really should cool him down." said Zane. "Mind if I help out?" said Dante as his swords had an icy frost coming off it. "Sure. I don't see why not." said Zane. "There is one thing that you should know about me, pretenders!" said Lewis.
Zane looked at him with him saying,"I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that you do all of this just because you're compensating for your magic wand.". "Not that! And you shut up! I'm not an easy opponent like Bimbo was or is!" said Lewis. He outstretched his left arm and he said,"Arise from the depths of the Dread Dimension! Obsidian Baboon!". After casting the spell, magma and fire erupted around him.
The molten rock began taking the shape of an enormous Baboon which was made completely out of magma. It's lengthy body took up about 45% of the vast cavern. It's mouth was full ,from top to bottom, with glowing, sharp solid magma like teeth. Streams of lava went out from the nostrils on its face and had crimson red eyes. The rather strange thing about this creature was its long, massive arms with four sharp, glowing solid magma like fangs. I mean it really stick out on the giant creature.
Dante, Juvia, and Levy gasped lightly with them taking a worried step back and looking at the new creature in shock. It was very similar to the Magmamires except bigger. However, Zane had a very different opinion of the Obsidian Baboon. "Huh. You know something you guys. I've seen Lewis's spells before but none of them have been this cool." said Zane. This earned him an annoyed look from Dante, Juvia, and Levy.
Zane saw them looking at him with him saying,"I'm not going to say that I'm wrong you guys. I have known him for over five hundred years and his spells have been lame ever since I met him when I was eighteen years old. This baboon here is just a bigger mammal version of our good friends the Magmamires except without the magic absorbing properties I think. Don't know yet. This is a new spell for him. I'm happy to see him evolve and change with the times.".
The lava primate picked its hexagon shaped head, focusing its deadly eyes on the prey and seethed at the group ferociously. It split open its mouth ,looking painfully, and fired out a very compact magma torrent directly at the group. Zane grabbed his group and teleport away in a burst of ice, evading the attack. Upon the magma hitting the ground, it erupted into an inferno. There was burning rocks and fire everywhere around the point of impact.
The group returned with Levy saying with an annoyance glance,"Do you still think that creature is cool Zane?". "Honestly, I think it's cool too. I mean it's trying to kill us but it's made out of magma and shooting magma from its mouth. What part of that doesn't sound cool?" said Dante, earning a sigh from Levy. Without any warning, the water woman felt a wave of weakness wash over her. It was so strong that it made her kneel. She ground her teeth, closing her eyes tight.
The baboon had the same magma absorbing abilities as the smaller serpents but much faster than before. "Um you guys! It's absorbing our magic!" said Juvia. Zane looked at how much pain his partner was in and knew that he had to act. The magma baboon cocked back its left arm and intended to bitch slap Zane. However, Zane easily dodged the attack by flying upwards and blasting it in the face with an ice beam.
Upon hitting the ice hitting the baboon, the primate roared in anger. The giant primate turned and shifted its eyes on the wizards. Dante held his sword being that he was protecting Juvia and Levy who had their magic being absorbed by the baboon. Lewis knew that his massive spell could absorb Ethernano from the atmosphere and wizards but the latter of which was a bit different compared to the Magmamire.
The Magmamire could absorb more than two wizards Ethernano at the same time but the Obsidian Baboon can only absorbed up to two wizards Ethernano at once. Kinda sucks but this primate could absorb Ethernano faster than the serpents. Seeing an opportunity, it honed in on the wizards and charged across the ground toward her. Zane growled and ran at speeds. Lewis saw this coming with him summoning ten baker dozens of Magmamires around Zane.
The fire/ice being glared right at them being that he heard,"Don't worry man! You handle those snakes. I got this!". The magma primate split open its mouth once again and fired another torrent of magma. Dante grinned with him saying,"Time for you to chill out!". He unsheathed his sword being that upon doing this, a giant wave of ice and snow came rushing out of him. Upon the magma and ice collided midway, the former turned into rock.
The snow blasted through the newly formed rock and struck the magma primate in the mouth. It cried out in agony before the subzero blast traveled throughout its body. This attack turned the giant primate into a statue of igneous rock. Juvia and Levy felt their magic returned to them as they looked at Dante. His head is covered in an ice helmet with it being a shark shape. His arms are covered by gold gauntlets that goes up to his elbows.
They have silver markings that form a snowy tundra. The gauntlets have a single katana blade sticking out of them with it being rather sharp. His sword ,which is named Arctic Justice, is a katana with it having a rectangular bronze tsuba with a water droplet design to it with a dark blue handle and sheath. "Ready to go ladies?" said Dante. Juvia nodded as she said,"Hang on.". She covered Dante in a large stream of water and threw him toward the snake.
His katana was covered in a thick layer of frost with Dante yelling. He spun around and sliced the giant rock in half with an ice wave. The stone primate was covered in a huge ice cube being that it crashed into the ground. This send ice and rock fragments in every direction. Dante landed next to the girls with Juvia saying,"So do you still think that it's cool Dante?". "Yeah I do Juvia. Ice pun aside for a moment. not going to ask Zane that question?" said Dante.
Levy looked at the ice explosion that probably came from her boyfriend with her saying,"His answer is pretty obvious. After we fought against Phantom Lord, he admit that Phantom Lord won in one fight against Fairy Tail. It was having a better guild hall.". "Let me guess. Prude Knight didn't like that. I heard that you fairies really hate when you diss their guild like that." said Dante. "Wow. My nickname for her travels. Sweet." said Zane, landing next to them.
Meanwhile, Lewis was still standing in the middle of a pillar of hot, scorching magma and it had his gold Animus around it. The immortal Sorcerer took off his steel gauntlets and tossed them aside. The metal melted upon leaving Lewis's body. He made two balls of Bruorenite appear and he closed his eyes. He began to mutter a complicated enchantment in a bizzare and unknown language. I'll give you a hint. It's name starts with L and it's been mentioned in Fairy Legion before.
Lewis paused when he saw his enemies running toward him, stopping twenty five yards in front of him. "How about you give up General?! I mean have you ever once won against me? Your supply of Burorenite are long gone and we'll just keep beating down your heated minions. So give up and I'll make sure you get a cell not next to Bimbo! Pretty nice if you ask me." said Zane, aiming his cannons at him.
Dante pointed his freezing sword straight at him with him saying,"I really think you should listen to him. I mean I may not know the history between you two but I'll support Zane.". Lewis began to laugh like an supervillain and his eyes glowing gold. "So is this the typical supervillain laugh?" said Levy. "I consider it the normal laughter but to me, I've heard more of that laughter and find it more attractive than a snort! I'll tell you hwhat." said Zane.
Lewis smiled as he said,"I'm afraid that you've been greatly fooled pretender. Mt. Hasador is filled to the brim with Burorenite! This cavern only has a small amount and as for my minions, they were just the start of what I'm about to make!". Lewis held tightly onto the crystals with the group looked at him strange. "Um. I have to ask this but why are you holding onto those rocks? Aren't they going to drain your magic as well?" said Juvia.
Zane shrugged as he said,"Well Juvia, I've been hitting him on the head a lot over the years so he isn't the smartest being around.". "You fools! If one can focus enough Impulse directly into it, you'll get the full power of the magic inside of it!" said Lewis. The crystals in Lewis's hands illuminated brightly for a moment before shattering. All of the stored Ethernano went into Lewis's body, making him shine brighter and the heat came off in a high amount.
Levy took a step back, holding her weapon in front of her. "So do you guys know what's going on? I think the heat coming off him is like a volcano!" said Levy. Crisis Judgement went off, forcing Zane to get serious. "Me thinks that I've pissed off Lewis a lot." said Zane. Lewis clasped his hands together and talking n an unknown language to the Fiore wizards but Zane knew it as Liasada."Emperor of the molten pit. Awaken from the pits of the Dread Dimension and merge with me!" said Lewis.
The ground began to shake as the magma pillar engulfing Lewis growing large and hotter. "What the fuck is that fool doing?! He isn't a Magnus like me and Salem! Using Liasada like that will kill him despite being immortal!" said Zane. Lewis gave Zane and his group a sinister smile with his eyes burning with power and sadism. "Now Legion Zero and pals. You're about to face your doom by my hands! Arise Magmaviathan!" said Lewis.
Upon finishing this, the cavern was engulfed in bright, red light and extreme heat. Instinctively, the duo of Dante and Zane went into action. "Glacier Mosque!" said Dante. He began to create a thick dome of ice around him, the girls, and Zane. Zane fired beams of ice from his cannons and hands to enhanced the ice's durability as the eruption of heat would have melted Dante's spell. The ground was shaking around them, causing parts of the ceiling to collapse on them.
After a moment, the intense light and shaking stopped. Zane removed the ice barrier around them using a simple fire beam. Upon leaving the dome of ice, the group's eyes widened as something different was in Lewis's place. The wizards had expression of horror on their faces and Zane was neutral. "Meh. I've seen and been bigger." said Zane, shrugging. Standing before there was a sixty six foot/20 meters tall monster.
It's a quadrupedal crab like creature with eight crab-like legs. It's body was comprised of magma and obsidian igneous rock. It's upper body was immense, its two arms gigantic, and has large, sharp claws on its hands. It's back had several volcano like appendages that was spewing out magma onto the creature's back. Its feet were two toed. It's face is rhino like but seemingly missing the signature horn and gold eyes shined bright.
The cave could contain the magma Goliath but if it was a little bigger, it would destroy the cave just due to its size. Juvia and Levy only guessed that Lewis was somewhere inside of the creature. Lewis had full control of the Goliath being that he could see, hear, and feel everything that it could. The beast looked down at the dumbfounded wizards and disinterested superhero. The creature opened its mouth where they could see a myriad of sharp teeth and the magma blazing inside of it.
Zane blinked with him saying,"Oh my. What big teeth you've got.". "I'm not going to respond to that. Feast your eyes upon the Emperor of Magma Magmaviathan!" said Lewis. His voice began to thunder being that the creature's mouth didn't move when it talked. Lewis's voice got infused with a evil, baritone voice. It threw up its arms and let out a deafening roar. It shook the entire cave with sections of the roof to fall. However, the cavern didn't crumble away.
