Flames and Darkness clashed with each fist making Mira to have the upper hand for a while . Their darkness and flames-charged fists and feet clash for a short amount of time until Freed is overpowered completely and he crashed into a cave .
In the cave, Mira attacks him with the flame spark which caused Freed to be overwhelmed by Mira's power but vows that he cannot lose .
He uses Darkness Breath, as a tornado of dark energy appeared and collided, against Mira . She almost brushes it off quite easily and then they are later both out in the sky again .
Freed follows up with Darkness Flare Bomb that sends Mira flying upon contact as it exploded into the river .
Much to Freed's surprise, Mira gathered the water of the river around herself and with the flames it quickly reached the boiling point . Freed wondered in shock how much Magic Power Mira actually has .
She waved her hands and threw the whole river at Freed and at the same time Mirae quickly followed up with more punches and kicks .
With the combination of the two, he was blown away sending him down to the dry ground . His Darkness Spell has worn off and Freed has returned back to his original form as he panting and struggled to get up . . .
Mira, unmerciful, punches him and pins him to the ground . Freed thinks that he can't possibly defeat Mira with her powers like that and he's going to be killed .
However, just as Mira is about to deliver the final blow, she stops her fist from connecting with Freed's face and reverts to her original form .
Mira : Do you know this battle is so meaningless .
Freed : Are you pitying the defeated?? Stop that and Finish it!!!
Mira : No . . . We are all allies, fellow members of the same guild that smile together and laugh together .
Freed : I only have one ally and that is Laxus Dreyar .
Mira : That's not true and you must have realized it . I think that it's not a bad thing to a single person but there's a number of people all around him connected to one another .
Momentarily, Freed remembers moments in the past when the Fairy Tail Mages were really friendly with him .
Mira : When you reach out, there's always someone right here . It's when people realize how lonely it is on their own that they start to become kind .
Mira : We should all enjoy the Harvest Festival next year .
In the Kardia Cathedral, Laxus is notified of Freed's defeat from Mira and Freed's removal from contention . That leaves the eight, Mira, Levy, Ur, Lisanna, Gajeel Redfox, Natsu Dragneel, Mystogan and Erza Scarlet, against the last remaining enemy Laxus .
The Thunder G.o.d Tribe, along with most of the Fairy Tail partic.i.p.ants, has been wiped out except for the eight and Laxus . There is still the Thunder Palace left and time is running out .
Somewhere in Town, Levy McGarden wonders if Laxus is really serious about the Thunder Palace, as only 30 minutes are left until it is activated .
She optimistically tells herself that things would work out since they still have all of them . . .
In the Kardia Cathedral, the rules state that there are only 26 minutes left until the Thunder Palace activates .
However, Laxus was busy as he was looking at the man who had arrived earlier in heavy clothing . . .
Both of them had long entered battle stances and now they were ready to clash as Mystogan felt that Laxus will truly activate his Thunder Palace . . . They pa.s.sed almost 40 minutes trying to exploit the other with words but they had reached the point of no return . . .
Even so, Mystogan didn't give up so easily trying to throw some senses in Laxus . . .
Mystogan : Are you truly not going to deactivate it??
Laxus : Don't make me say it again Mystogan . . . There is the only path forward and that is me finis.h.i.+ng the job . . .
Mystogan : Too bad as we might have even still been able to pa.s.s things off as mere additions to the festivities .
Both of them vanished from their positions and clash in the center of the Kardia Cathedral with sparks flying all over the place . . .
