Natsu: "The old man came back"

Gildarts: "(Y/n) take them back"

(Y/n): "Whatever" *coughs* "You say"

Natsu: "What for?!"

Both the mages start releasing their Magic power,

(Y/n): *looking at Gildarts face* "He's super pissed, wait if he's here then those two are here as well"

Bluenote flips the part of the ground Gildarts stood on upside-down on which Gildarts is still stay on kneeling,

Lucy: "What?!"

Natsu: "GILDARTS IS SO COOL!"

The Magic of Gildarts destroys this upside-down ground and their fists meet as Bluenote jumps up to Gildarts, the force behind their attacks blowing everyone aside.

Lucy: "I think we should just stay out of their way"

Puss/Happy: *crushed beneath a rock* "Are you okay Carla?"

Carla: "I can barely hear you two beneath that rock"

Bluenote: *looking at Gildarts* "Unbelievable! He pushed me back"

Wendy: "I'm getting scared we should probably head back just like he said to"

Lucy: "You're right" *looks at Cana* "Hey Cana?"

Cana: "Let's go Gildarts can handle it, we'd only get in his way if we come around"

Natsu: "Awesome I wanna see a fight so.."

Natsu stops when he sees (Y/n)'s death glare,

(Y/n): *death glare* "You have something to add Natsu?"

Natsu: *gulps sweating* "Y-yeah come on let's go back L-Lucy"

The entire group follows (Y/n) leaving Gildarts and Bluenote to settle their business.

Gildarts: "You've interrupted something important. These kids were pushing themselves to the limit to make a world a better place than we've left them. They put everything on the line to salvage the future you came along and trampled all over it"

Back at Fairy Tail's base camp after attacking Panther Lily, Lisanna and Levy with his Jet Black Sword, Rustyrose is sent flying and Lisanna, Levy and Lily are shocked.

Rustyrose: "Who dares silence my symphony?!"

Rustyrose's attackers are revealed to be returning Freed and Bickslow.

Levy: "It's Freed and Bickslow"

Panther Lily: "But how? I thought both of you had left"

Bickslow: "We saw the red flare in the sky"

Freed: "So we returned with Gildarts"

Lisanna: *enthusiastic* "He really came back to the island with you guys!"

Rustyrose: *using * "Though your ranks may swell, you will still get swept by my and all that will remain of you will be tragic remains of fading memories"

Bickslow: "You're gonna realize pretty quickly that we don't like to play by rules in our guild we'll do whatever it takes to beat you!"

Freed: "Simply put since you've harmed a member of Thunder Legion rules no longer apply"

Bickslow attacks with , but Rustyrose uses his after reciting it's incantation and uses it to defend himself against Bickslow's attack. Freed uses , but Rusty dodges it using his . In the air, Rustyrose asks if they think they can defeat his infinite power of creativity, and summons and commands it to tear them to pieces. Panther Lily is shocked, but Bickslow uses and destroys it.

Rustyrose is awestruck and says that it's impossible. Freed uses and attacks Rustyrose. Panther Lily and Lisanna are amazed at the power of the Thunder God Tribe. Evergreen watches from the side with a smile and Levy says that this is how they're like when they get serious. As Bickslow and Freed stand above Rustyrose.

Bickslow: "Get up"

Freed: "There's no where for you to run"

Rustyrose: "My very being is griped with erratic trembles, is this fear?"

Gildarts and Bluenote clash as they are evenly matched in power. Their battle destroys the terrain, flipping pieces of land upside down and sending them flying everywhere. Even the punches they exchange send waves of Magic throughout the atmosphere. Before long, both of them start sweating from the heat of the battle.

Erza also begins her battle against Azuma in close combat with Azuma in her as the battles on Tenrou Island start to heat up.

Elsewhere Gray is with Ultear and is having a hard time processing Ultear wanted to meet him,

Gray: "Let me get this straight, you wanted to meet me because you're on my side?"

Ultear: "That's right I have been searching for you for such a long time. You are the beloved pupil of the Ice-Wizard Ur and I am her long lost daughter that means we're practically siblings"

Gray: *wide-eyed & sweating* "What like brother and sister! Give me a second to process here! I never knew I had a sister roaming around!"

Ultear: "Well I said practically that being the case I bear no grudge against you"

Gray: "Seriously I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this! You do realize our guilds are sworn enemies!"

Ultear: "It's true I've sworn allegiance to Grimoire Heart but there's more to life than guilds, maybe we can get past our differences. We both share her guidance, she lives on in inside of us"

Back at the campsite, Rustyrose gets up and thinks that this fear he's feeling isn't bad, adjusts his glasses, and says that fear just gives more inspiration for his imagination. He uses which wrap around Bickslow and Freed's bodies.

Erza then wields two axes in her and charges towards Azuma. However, Azuma dodges this, catches one of Erza's feet in his branches and follows up with . Erza recovers from the explosion, requips into her and using her two sabers, fires .

Azuma gets hit. When the explosion clears, a smile can be seen on his face.

Erza: "Does something amuse you?"

Azuma: "Not quite amused but I must admit I'm intrigued. I've heard many tales about your skill and valor, I believe we are cut from the same cloth. We seek warriors because fighting means everything to us"

Erza: *Requips to , shaking her head* "I'm afraid that's not true. I don't go looking for warriors to fight"

Azuma: "No, the only way you can reach your level of strength is by fighting powerful foes"

Erza: "All I've ever wanted is the strength to protect the ones I hold close to my heart. I would give up all of my strength to guarantee their safety" *smirks* "That's strange but true"

Azuma: "What a shame, you're quite interesting and hopefully we have a fair fight"

Erza: "What do you mean by that?"

Azuma: "We've reached a different stage in our battle"

Erza: *notices the tree rumbling* "What's happening?"

Azuma: "I'm connected with nature, the forest. My is the . I can take the explosive power from the land and channel it into the heart of the wood. But where my Magic's true power lies is it gives me the ability to be the one with the land and control it's Magic energy"

Erza: "You can control the Magic of the land itself!"

Azuma: "That is the reason I was the first to arrive on this island. To harness the sacred energy contained in your sacred ground"

Erza: "No.. it's impossible!"

Azuma: "This was not my choice but I must follow the orders I was given"

Erza: "What?! What are you going to do?! Answer me!"

Much to Erza's shock, the Tenrou Tree at center of the island collapses.

Natsu: "What the hell is going on?!"

Wendy: "Please hurry Carla!"

Carla: "You're behind me!"

(Y/n): *carrying Cana on his back* "Don't look back and just focus!"

Suddenly Natsu drops on his knees followed by Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Happy and Puss with (Y/n) who settles Cana down and is himself having difficulty standing up.

(Y/n): "How can Magic Cancellation effect me?" *looks at the Tenrou Tree collapsing* "Don't tell me it's due to the tree collapsing?"

Freed and Bickslow suddenly collapse, as if by exhaustion due to the Tenrou Tree's collapsing,

Bickslow: "No I don't understand this!"

Freed: "What happened to our power?!"

Gildarts also suddenly collapses as if by exhaustion along with the Fairy Tail Mages all over the island resulting to him being easily beaten up by Bluenote.

Gildarts: "What is this? What the hell is going on here?"

Bluenote: *looking at the collapsing tree* "Old man what sort of insane mission do you have Azuma do for you?"

Almost all of Fairy Tail mages are suffering from Magic exhaustion except for Erza. Tenrou Tree's power gives protection to everyone bearing the crest of Fairy Tail on the island. With the great tree down, the life protection it afforded Fairy Tail has been lost and will continue draining energy from Fairy Tail.

Erza: "If that's the case then tell me why do I still stand?"

Azuma: "This maybe the end for your guild, it will die along with that tree. However" *comes out a tree branch* "Since I control all the Magic power on this island, I've kept yours intact. Now Titania all of your friends are at death's door and you're the only one who can save them. You strive for the power to protect those close to you, show me what that means"

Erza looks at him with a fierce face,

Erza: "Azuma of the Seven Kin correct? And you're acting under orders"

Azuma: "This is all a part of Hades plan yes. Felling the tree was the easiest way to deal a death blow to Fairy Tail"

Erza: "I see if you could dispatch us so easily, why keep me around?"

Azuma: "You know why. Now are you going to give me a fight I want or not, make your decision"

Erza: "I don't really have a choice in the matter do I, you insist on a fair fight. So I expect you to return all our powers once you have lost"

Azuma: "You have my word, believe me. I'm not fond of these methods either. Of course you still have to win"

Erza: *Requips two swords* "The lives of my comrades hang in the balance, I won't lose!"

Erza requips into her , and attacks Azuma with . Azuma's branches block Erza's blades and he retaliates with .

Erza attempts to block these as Azuma follows up with .

Azuma follows it with and she reverts back to her .

Azuma: "Come on Titania I'm not even sweating yet. Get serious or I will force you if I have to"

Erza dodges the thick branches of trees that attempt to damage her. She then uses one of the branches to spring back as she requips into her and manages to slash Azuma multiple times with her enhanced speed.

When Erza heads back to him for another hit, he strikes her down with branches and attempts to stomp on her with a foot-shaped root which she blocks with her . She also consequently blocks multiple leaf blades with the same armor. Afterwards, she requips into the and her staff misses Azuma. While she chases him around, he is able to sneak a punch, sending her flying through multiple roots.

Azuma: "The . You're pulling out all the stops, I see. You've truly earned the name Titania" *disappears in a branch* "You're Requipping speed is unmatched" *appears out of another branch* "And you're sword technique is flawless"*crosses arms over chest* "Very impressive, you're everything I wanted in an opponent"

Erza: "His is overwhelming, this is bad" *stands up* "It seems you're just inflated ego and talk, you're obsession with strength is quite obvious now"

Azuma: "Are you saying that you'll fight me seriously"

Erza: "Careful, getting what you want can be detrimental for your health"

Erza, in her once more, starts a hand-to-hand battle with Azuma, with both being able to land a number of punches and kicks. Azuma captures her with a branch and then it explodes. Erza recovers and throws a spear at Azuma, landing a hit, and then, while wearing her , manages to grab his ankle and throw him down.

He strikes back with a large root, smashing her on another. She requips into her and chases after him, but he is able to defend himself with a hard root, catching her off-guard. Azuma grabs Erza's foot from underneath and then she gets hit by .

Erza: "Incredible, I can't believe the amount of power he wields. I don't know how to counter him. My is still broken"*gets up* "I seriously doubt any of my remaining armor will do the job. Think Erza"

Erza then suddenly remembers a new armor she had purchased.

Erza: "Oh there is that. I may have bought the for maybe when me and him..." *shaking her head, blushing & pointing at Azuma* "No you're not (Y/n) and that armor is meant for him!!!"

Azuma: "A special armor meant for the Bullet what are you talking about?"

Erza: "Think this through if I am to overcome his power, I will have to sacrifice defense and focus on my attacks. In fact it might be best to forego defense entirely" *Requips into * "It's the only way. I will put all of my Magic power into my sword" *Releases Magic power* "The blade that can't be held without shedding all armor come forth, " *Requips * "If I lose here everyone pays the price, the fate of the guild rests on my hand"

Erza charges forward, collecting all her strength into and Azuma urges her forward.

As her attack is about to hit, she suddenly gets wrapped up in branches. Azuma releases the Magic of Tenrou upon her with the spell .
