In Fairy Tail, starts with a Super Mega Gengar

A violent earthquake wave radiated from the Giant's Mountain Range.

It swept toward the vast ocean to the west, the land to the east, the snow-capped mountains to the north, and the kingdoms to the south.

In the Ishgar Continent.

Southwest region.

Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia Town.

At the Fairy Tail guild.

At the entrance.

Laxus, Gray, Cana, and others sat outside, their faces marked with concern. Gray gazed at the shadow of their guild building, muttering, "What is Brother Gaal doing? So urgent."

Cana couldn't help but worry too, "Yeah. He's even taken Dad with him. What on earth happened?"

Laxus frowned after thinking for a moment, but couldn't come up with anything. He finally spoke up, saying, "Don't worry. With Brother Gaal and Gildarts's strength, I doubt anyone can stop them when they team up."

Gray nodded slightly, "That's true, but...."

Suddenly, an indescribable feeling of dread washed over everyone in Magnolia Town.

Especially Laxus, who had the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal implanted in him. His pupils instinctively constricted, wanting to flee from the ground, but without wings, an endless panic coursed through every cell in his body.

Laxus opened his mouth, trying to say something.

The next second.

Crack—!!!

A deafening sound erupted, as if the sky and earth had been ripped apart. In an instant, the whole world fell silent, and everyone felt the overwhelming power of nature, a sense of human insignificance flooding their hearts.

Then a dull roar seemed to echo from the ancient crust.

Boom—boom—

The ground shook continuously, buildings swayed precariously, some people collapsed to the ground, while others hurriedly crawled outward into the open space.

"Is the.... earthquake?!"

—

Near Karmu.

In the waters between the Western Continent of Alakida and the Eastern Continent of Ishgar, on an island.

The R System built on the island was thriving in operation.

Ultear was using Transformation Magic, mingling among the laborers to brainwash their designated targets.

Meanwhile, Stinger was quietly training in a corner of the island.

At that moment.

Stinger's communicator lit up.

As Stinger opened his eyes from his training session, he connected to the communicator and said, "Lord Hades."

A slightly grim voice from Hades came through, "Now, immediately take Ultear and leave there. The Fairy Tail folks have intervened, and it's very likely they're heading your way. Don't stay with Ultear. You must part ways. They're tracking Ultear. If you can't protect her, just give up."

Stinger's usually blank expression finally changed, "Understood."

Then the two hung up. Stinger's face showed a hint of disbelief; even Lord Hades couldn't intercept them....

Without delay, Stinger hurried to the labor center at the center of the island to relay the message to Ultear.

Moments later.

Ultear emerged with a grim face, unable to help but complain, "What is it, Stinger? I was in the middle of brainwashing that guy, and you interrupt at this time—what if he suspects?"

Stinger shook his head with a serious expression, "Forget about that guy. We need to leave here quickly; the Legal Guild is coming."

Ultear's lips twitched, "So what if they are? You can handle it...." 

She quickly realized.

If Stinger could handle it, he wouldn't have such a serious look on his face.

She was savvy enough to distinguish between the usual expression and a serious one.

Without hesitation, Ultear nodded, immediately using her magic to revert to her original form. Stinger instructed, "First to the port, then...."

Suddenly.

Guards in the distance began shouting, rushing toward the island in sheer terror, "A tsunami.... a tsunami is coming! Quick, hide! The tsunami is here!!!"

Ultear and Stinger looked up, their expressions shifting dramatically.

They saw the sea level rising, transforming into towering waves barreling toward them....

In the Ishgar Continent.

Magic Council.

At this moment, the monitoring room of the Magic Council was in chaos, with all the permanent council members gathered. Many scholars dressed as mages operated the monitoring equipment.

"Fifty million, seventy million... One billion!"

"Damn it! Why is the magical energy rising so fast!"

"One billion five hundred million... two billion...."

"Three billion.... Five point five billion!!!"

"It stopped!"

"The energy is spreading outward—what happened at the Giant's Mountain Range?!"

"Is the Dark Guild experimenting with some new kind of weapon?!"

"This magic value could be considered the energy of a small magical spirit."

"Have we dispatched anyone to investigate?!"

"Nearby members from several kingdom councils have been notified and are on their way, but it will take some time to arrive."

"Damn it! Notify them again and urge them to hurry!"

"No, the magical energy hasn't spread far enough to approach closely."

"The safety of the entire continent is the priority!"

"If the Dark Guild has truly created a new weapon, we must use every means to destroy it!"

"Additionally, inform the guilds of nearby kingdoms to send strong mages to assist in the investigation!"

"Yes!!!"

—

In the Ishgar Continent, the west.

In the sky.

Dragonite soared a thousand meters high, with two ropes tied to its shoulders, towing a small house like a cable car, zipping through the air like a yellow meteor.

Gildarts stood inside the small house, looking at the distant rising 'sun,' unable to help but exclaim, "I almost died there. Next time, you need to be quicker; I haven't seen Cana grow up yet. But it was quite exhilarating."

Gildarts took off the magic hat he was wearing and handed it back to Gaal. As for the ring.... it had shattered when he struck at Hades.

Gaal took the "Scholar's Fury," put it on, and with a strange expression, said, "You think there's going to be a next time?"

Gildarts rolled his eyes, then glanced at the frozen Rustyrose inside the ice block nearby, "Good thing you guys caught this one; it's not entirely unproductive. We can trade this guy to the council for quite a bit."

Gildarts stroked his chin, considering how much they could get for Rustyrose.

Gaal shook his head, placing his hand on the ice block and speaking, "Capturing him isn't just for the money."

As Gaal's hand pressed down, the ice block began to melt rapidly. Rustyrose gradually regained consciousness, trembling, half from the cold and half from fear....

He was completely dazed.

As his eyes blinked open and shut, he realized he was in a den of thieves.

Gaal didn't need to explain, nor did Ur, and Gildarts certainly didn't need to say anything; everyone on the Ishgar Continent knew who they were.

Damn....

All Fairy Tail's scoundrels!

The most powerful bunch....

Help me!!!

Rustyrose stammered out a smile as he quivered, "Um.... hello there?"

Ur gazed at him impassively; she had no good feelings toward the dark guild members who had kidnapped her daughter.

Gildarts crossed his arms, curious to see what Gaal would do.

Rustyrose quickly sensed the mood and glanced at Gaal, saying earnestly, "Can you let me go? We can talk about conditions! Even information about the Grimoire Heart Guild is fine!"

Gaal nodded, paused to think, and placed his hand on Rustyrose's shoulder, sighing as he said, "To easily betray your own guild with no boundaries.... It's hard to discern the truth in such information. I would rather trust the dead; they are more reliable."

Gaal's hand suddenly moved to Rustyrose's neck, causing Rustyrose to freeze, not reacting in time.

"Ah....?"

Crack!

With a twist of his neck.

Rustyrose's soul was extracted.
