Chapter Text
Loke and Gajeel charged at Laxus, hitting him with all their strength. Punching, kicking, all blocked by Laxus and his quick reflexes. Laxus growled as he summoned lightning in his hands he aimed toward Loke and zapped him with his magic, Loke screamed in pain. He flew back into Gajeel who blocked him and held on to him.
"Use your breath," Gajeel said to Loke
"Celestial Lion; Roar" Loke chanted as a bright lion made of fire flew towards Laxus, "Iron dragon; Club" Gajeel chanted with him as the fiery lion surrounded the iron club and made its way towards Laxus. Laxus easily dodged as he flashed in lightning, Gajeel saw this as quickly turned towards him, "Iron dragon sword" Gajeel said as his hand grew into a giant iron sword and he swung towards Laxus who was in midair, who again easily dodged and cast balls of blue and yellow lightning towards them, the lightning crashed around them making thick smoke and sending Gajeel fly backwards, behind Laxus Loke appears
"Light of the stars above; Starlight" Loke chants as he cast his bright light down on Laxus who turns in surprise, Loke hits Laxus who groans and falls down towards the Cathedral floor, Gajeel appears from the smoke in a roar as he casts a spell as well
"Iron Dragon; Lance, demon bomb," Gajeel says as his iron lance shoots green balls of light towards Laxus who gets hit
"Celestial Lion..", "Iron Dragon..." "ROAR" They yell in unison as fire and iron combine and hit Laxus causing an explosion of fire
The place was covered in thick smoke and debris everywhere as they waited for what would happen next. Did they win? Was Laxus defeated?
"Don't tell me that's the best the two of you can do, Gajeel doesn't deserve the title of Dragon Slayer," Laxus said as he appeared out of the thick smoke, lightning crackled around him and his eyes glowed yellow. He was untouched, only a few cuts in his purple shirt.
"What? He's not even injured" Loke said on shock
"But how? I don't get it, I know he's strong and all, but I whipped out tons of dragon slayer magic on him, how is he still standing?" Gajeel asked just as shocked as the lion spirit
"I'll let you guys in on a little secret. I haven't told anyone about this cause I really hate the old man's lectures, but I guess I can trust the two of you" Laxus said grinning. His teeth began to grow sharp, and his muscles began to grow as he got bigger and bigger, lightning still zapping around him. Be began to grow so big he ripped the sleeves on his shirt showing his arms began to transform into dragon scales. He ripped his shirt open showing his abs. Laxus roared as he stomped on the ground, lighting surrounding him in light as his roar got louder
"You got to be kidding me," Loke said gritting his teeth
"No way" Gajeel said in shock
"Lightning dragon..." Laxus roared as a dragon lightning magic circle formed in front of him
"I had no idea Laxus was a dragon slayer," Loke said as he stepped back in shock
"ROAR" Laxus yelled as a yellow and blue lightning beam flashed towards them. As it stuck them in yellow and blue light of destruction. It fit them in large blinding yellow light the filled the cathedral. Once the blinding light disappeared Laxus looked to see the Celestial Lion and Iron Dragon face first on the floor, lightning sparking around them as they groaned
"You're still alive? damn I was sure that would finish you off, why won't you just kick the bucket already" Laxus said in annoyance
"I can't move," Loke said in a groan as he tried to get on his knees
"Me either" Gajeel said agreeing with him
"You two losers, Erza and Mystogan, the old geezer, those weaklings in Fairy Tail and the pathetic people of Magnolia. YOUR TIME IS OVER NOW" Laxus said in rage as his lighting pulsed around him though out the cathedral making it spark in yellow light. Beams of light sprouted from the ground underneath Laxus surrounding him as he clutched his fists in rage.
"Where is all that magic energy coming from?" Gajeel said groaning as he looked up at Laxus
'This is familiar, like one of Master Makarov's spells' Loke thought
"This guy is insane, he is trying to cast Makarov's ultimate judgement spell. It will target anyone the caster sees as their enemy" Gajeel said terrified as Laxus roared in rage "We are as good as dead"
Laxus pulled his hands together to create a ball of golden light as he laughed "You're right metal head, I have mastered the fairy law spell"
"That's the same spell that defeated Master Jose! No!" Gajeel said in disbelief
"Laxus, what are you thinking?" Loke yelled as Laxus growled making the golden magic light in his hands grow in power "Don't do this!"
Laxus ignored him as he growled louder making the magic light grow more and more
"Laxus," A soft voice said, "Stop this," the voice of Lucy said with Levy next to her in the doorway. The three guys all looked at Lucy and Levy with shocked
"Lucy?" Loke said "Get out of here"
"You idiots, what are you doing here," Gajeel said annoyed
"Laxus, you got to see the master, he doesn't have much time! Master Makarov, I mean your grandfather, is close to death" Levy said tears in her eyes
"I already know that. I just hope he dies sooner than later" Laxus laughed, but you could she the struggle in his eyes
"Laxus stop this please," Lucy said as tears filled her vision "Stop," Lucy said as she ran towards Laxus
"Stay away from him Lucy" Loke yelled after her as she passed him but is unable to move to grab her
"This will be the dawn of a new era," Laxus said as Lucy ran closer. Lucy took hold of his hand and clutch it with both of hers as tears fell down her cheeks, she looked down to the ground sobbing and pleading
"Stop, stop this please Laxus, I don't want you to become a monster, don't create blood on your hands for me, I love you and I don't want to lose you" Lucy sobbed
Laxus looked down at the crying celestial wizard and felt his heart clench in guilt, he had become this rabid beast that tears people apart, he threatened this whole town and for what, he wasn't protecting Lucy this way, he was justing finding someone to blame and punish yet he became a person to blame. It wasn't all for Lucy, but most of it was, some of it were his built up anger about his father being kicked out of the guild and not being recognised as a single person, he hurt gramps and now he was going to die, all because of him. He might not even be able to say sorry or that he loved him before he would pass away
The golden light around Laxus began to fade away as he fell to his knees, Lucy still clutching to his hand. He held his head in shame as tears began to fall down his cheeks as he softly sobbed
