Chapter II: Flames meets Lightning

Tension filled up the air as the two men stood in the center of the Fairy Tail hall neither one willing to back down. The immense magical pressure seeping out of their bodies. All stood by the sidelines watching quietly, trying to hide their fear from what they are seeing.

And in a split second, both dashed towards each other. Both wanted to land the first blow, but managed to anticipate each other's swings. A loud roar echoed the hall as their punches grazed each other's cheeks.

"I-Isn't this dangerous?" Elfman said as he stumbled on the floor, frightened

Xanxus tried to leap back but Laxus relentlessly engaged him, not giving him any time to fight back. Laxus' attacks were quick and precise but Xanxus' numerous experiences in battle granted him an edge. His attacks were fast but were repetitive. After some time, Xanxus had already memorized the patterns and launched his counter attack.

While dodging the well-telegraphed right hook, Xanxus immediately retaliated with an overhead right of his own. Caught off-guard the punch hit Laxus head-on. The force of the punch sent him flying across the bar, breaking the shelf and burying him in the debris.

All of the spectators were dumbfounded as they watch Xanxus walk out the victor.

"All bark no bite huh?" Xanxus quipped as he turned away

Just as Xanxus was about to walk away, the pile of rubble that buried Laxus started shining, and golden streams of lightning escaped from the crevices.

"DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME!" Laxus shouted as he flew towards Xanxus with a big right hook.

Clearly surprised by the speed in which Laxus dashed in, all that Xanxus do was instinctively raise his hands to defend himself. The power of the punch caused him to slide a few meters away from Laxus. Upset and humiliated, Laxus went berserk on Xanxus, taking blind swings and landing punches were too fast to dodge, pumelling him in a flurry of movement.

And just like a leaf Xanxus was flung around in the air as Laxus' speed got the best of him. As he was thrown around and around, Xanxus' inner rage built up and was released in an explosion of fire. The Flames of Wrath wrapped his body and shoved away everything that tried to get near him.

"This is clearly getting out of hand" Natsu said, worrying to what would become of their guild hall

The two men once again stared at each other, the tension thickened as the flames and lightning fought for dominance in the air. Both readied their stance, but this time Xanxus grabbed something behind him, revealing two pistols with an unusual red X on the barrel.

He pointed the guns towards Laxus and said "Dance with me"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, bullets started raining down on Laxus, but ordinary bullets couldn't stop him from reaching his target. Carefully phasing in and out of the bullet's trajectory, he managed to close in the distance between them.

Xanxus smiled as he saw Laxus closing in, gathering his Flames and storing them inside his guns. Then as Laxus closed in on him, he unleashed all the energy inside his guns, disintegrating half of the guild hall along with it.

Xanxus laughed as he saw there was nothing left; all the guild members were terrified of strength of the blast, and were frozen to their places with terror. But he was surprised to see Laxus behind him, unscathed from the attack. Not wasting his time, Laxus slammed him down with a speed and force that caused the ground to tremble.

"N-not... over… yet…" Xanxus declared as he choked on his own blood. He tried to shoot Laxus as he gripped his neck. Seeing that he still had a fight in him, Laxus moves away, releasing him

"Let's finish this!" Laxus roared as more lightning entered his body.

Xanxus tried to stand up as the flames gathered inside his guns. Every inch of his energy sapped into one last shot. Laxus' eyes became white as he gathered all of his lightning in his mouth.

"Roar of the Lightning Dragon!"

"Hammer of Flame!"

Both of them unleashed their strongest attack in the hopes of beating the other, and as the beams approached, the guild door suddenly opened and came along Master Makarov Because he is clearly unaware of the impending danger that he was in, the others panic.

"Master!" Everyone screamed.

Hearing the screams of his children, Master Makarov noticed the beams that were headed for him. Not having enough time to dodge the blast, he decided to just accept his fate and closed his eyes.

"What ignorance, my children," he spoke as the beams came closer.

And with the snap of his fingers, two magic circles appeared on his side, absorbing all the blast from both of the shots. The power of the beam grew weaker and weaker as neither of them had no more strength to control it.

"M-my attack…" Xanxus said as he crumbled to the floor

"It was deflected… just like that…" Laxus wailed as he accepts utter defeat.

Master Makarov smiled towards the others and made a peace sign with his fingers. The others screamed happily as the fight was finally over.

The other members rushed towards Master Makarov to celebrate their victory. They grabbed him and tossed him in the air like an underdog of a boxing match won their title match.

The two combatants, still devastated from their defeat, froze in silence as the others move away.

"You two," Master Makarov said

The two suddenly felt chills down their spines and slowly looked towards Master Makarov

"I'll deal with you later", Master Makarov added as he leered into them, as if he was going to take their souls

The two immediately scrambled their feet and started running to the center of the hall, pushing each other aside as they raced to escape the guild hall. Suddenly a huge hand grabbed them both and dragged them into the unknown.

All that remained of the two were screams of agony and pain
