The team line up with each other, stoically facing down Turra. "Lucy. Can you get Ruin out of here?" Erza asks. "Yeah" Lucy answers as she turns to the exit and begins helping Ruin hobble to the exit.
"Why do you all fight against me? Aren't we all mages?" Turra asks, confused for the first time in many years. "Just because we can use magic doesn't mean we're the same. When it comes down to it, we'd all get rid of our magic before letting a friend get hurt!" Gray exclaims. "I have traversed the lands and seen many things. I've witnessed magic that could erase a mountain in mere moments, Dragons that could burn a country to ashes, demons with frightening curses, even Zeref and his dark magic. None of them let anything get in the way of their dreams." Turra rambles. "We've beaten Dragons, Demons and Zeref. We won't let anything bring harm to the people we care for." Erza states, brimming with pride.
"Then...you'll all have to die." Turra says menacingly as, from the cracks in the statue, glowing blue tendrils shoot forth and impale the mans back. "Those villagers received barely a fraction of Uprunna's power! I will use it all!" As the tendrils glow brighter, so too, do Turra's eyes. "<Judgement!>" the tendrils detach as Turra extends his hand towards the group of mages. A blue light shines in his palm before it blasts outwards in the form of shining spears.
"<Ice Make; Shield!>" Gray places his hands on the ground and creates a huge ice wall to shield them from the magical onslaught. The spears indent themselves into the wall before increasing in brightness and exploding, shattering the wall and sending the mages back. "<Fire Dragons; Claw!>" Natsu comes flying in with his feet ablaze in an attempt to kick Turra in the face. "<Force Wave!>" a light blue barrier forms around Turra, blocking the dragon slayers attack before expanding rapidly and pushing him away through the air. "<Fire Dragons; Roar!>" while still being tossed through the air, Natsu aims his body towards their enemy and shoots forth a blazing flame from his mouth. "<Water Dragons; Searing Shot!>" pointing his hand towards the oncoming flame and without even looking, Turra launches a condensed bullet of water from his finger tips that collides with Natsu's attack, both magic exploding on contact and creating a steamy smoke screen that falls over the battlefield.
With a pitch black sword in her hand, Erza rushes through the steam, cutting through it and connecting with something that stops her blow. "<Body Enhancement>" Erza feels her blade snap in two as she instinctively jumps back. "<Cocytus>" the steam begins to freeze over, followed by the earth and even the air, as snowflakes fall and so does the temperature. Erza's leg has been caught within the frozen steam, unable to escape. Before she has time to think up a plan of escape, the sound of someone eating shards of ice enters her ears.
Turning to look, Gray is chowing down on pieces of the hellish ice. "Like eating a snow cone on a hot day." Gray then proceeds to walk over to Erza, placing his hand on the ice and immediately freeing her from the freezing cold prison. "Thanks." She says as she gets to her feet. "No worries, but how are we gonna deal with this?" Gray asks, gazing at the frozen landscape all around. "Isn't Natsu still in there?" From behind, Wendy calls out with a valid point. "I wouldn't worry about him. Knowing that guy he'll probably just burn his way out." Gray remarks, completely confident in his allies skill.
"<Fire Dragon King Mode!>" the sound of Natsu's pissed off tone reaches them, causing them to smile for a moment. The ice begins to melt as the image of Natsu in his most powerful, albeit weaker without Igneels power, form.
"Oh? Fire dragon king? So then, you were taught that magic by Igneel?" Turra asks, intrigued by the power the young salmon haired boy is showing. "What do you know about Igneel!" Natsu shouts. "I've researched the dragons so of course his name would show." Turra proudly states. "<Ice devil's; Zeroth destruction bow!>" with the intricate, pink, ice bow in his hands, Gray launches the Pink attack at Turra, interrupting his and Natsu's short conversation. "<Fire dragons; blazing inferno!>" extending his hand out towards the incoming pink energy, his arm becomes consumed in flames. The flames then move quickly down into his palm before exploding outwards in a brilliant orange blaze, connecting with Gray's attack and cancelling out both with a huge explosion of fire and ice.
"<Vernier!> <Arms!>" Wendy's enchantments allow Erza, now in her clear heart clothing and surrounded by the enchantments yellow effects, to appear as if out of thin air right in front of Turra and slash his body with her katana. She manages to draw blood as she surprises Turra with her speed and power, slicing horizontally through his right side. "Gah! That hurts!" He bellows as Erza turns around and prepares for another strike. "<Embargo!>" pointing his hand out towards Erza, her enchantments suddenly vanish and a wave of fatigue suddenly falls upon her. "W-what?" She asks no one in particular. "A spell that can reverse the effects of enchantments. Useful to say the least. As for this wound you've so kindly given me...<Cure wounds>" as he casts the spell, the wound on Turra's side immediately begins to close. "No you don't! <Ice devils; Zeroth long sword!>"
Gray dashes forward, creating an ethereal blade of ice and slashes with blinding speed at Turra, cutting through his chest and encasing him in ice. A flash of blinding light fills the ice as it explodes, sending shards of pink ice flying. "<Hornets-" The now angry Turra is interrupted by Wendy, now in her dragon force form, using a spell of her own. "Sky Dragons; Roar!>" the blast is enough to distract Turra from casting his spell but not enough to cause any damage. This however, was never her purpose. "<Thanks Wendy! <Fire Dragon Kings; Demolition Fist!>" Natsu is mere moments from connecting his flaming fist with Turra. "<Force wave!>" a more powerful wave of blue energy is expelled from Turra's body, colliding with Natsu's dust. The two magics struggle to overcome one another, with Turra's force wave becoming more focused on a single point as time goes on. "<Ice devil's; Zeroth destruction fist!" Turra hears Grays incoming attack and is forced to halve the force wave dealing with Natsu's strike in order to block Grays. "Graaaaaahhhhhh!!" Both boys shout as they place more effort into their attacks and eventually, they are able to break through. Their fists smash into both sides of Turra's body; the magic combining as turns into a giant, flaming, pink geyser.
As the attack fades, Natsu and Gray step back and watch as the charred, frostbitten Turra falls to his knees. "It's over." Erza says, getting up to her feet as the fatigue fades away. The group starts walking towards when a quiet laugh brings their attention back to the scene behind them. "W-what the?!" Gray exclaims as six crimson tendrils extend out of the statue of Uprunna and pierce the unconscious body of Turra. "What's going on!?" Natsu shouts, all of them unable to comprehend the scene before them.
Turra begins to rise slowly, his body healing rapidly and his hair starting to glow the same crimson as the tendrils. His eyes open to reveal red irises. With a blank, yet menacing look, he proceeds to remove his glasses from his face, dropping them to the floor. The icy room is filled with a marauding crimson light as he takes a step forward, each step shattering the ice beneath his feet. "Miiine..."
