Chapter 161: Tenrou Island (5)
~Third POV~
*Shiii*
Glowing brightly in the middle of Mavis's proclaimed grave between the middle she responded to Silva out of his stupor in a serious tone, "Silva… this here lies one of Fairy Tail's three great magic. I'll lend you the power of <Fairy Glitter> to save your friends. I trust you to make the wise choice in using great power comes great responsibility."
He makes eye contact with Mavis as he places his arm in the middle of the glowing Magic Power of Mavis smiling contently at her, "Of course. I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard second and friends to the people I come to love in this life. Any who harms them shall feel my wrath, a lesson to those who harm my family."
Mavis smiled nodding agreeing with Silva's words vanishing as the blinding light shined intently revealing the Fairy Tail tattoo embedded on his arm along with receiving notifications obtaining one of the Three Great Fairy Magic of Fairy Tail.
[Ding!]
[By Mavis lending you her power you have learned the spell <Fairy Glitter>!]
----
<Fairy Glitter> (Active) Lv. MAX
MP Cost: Varies
Description: Fairy Glitter is one of the "Three Great Fairy Magics" distinct to the Fairy Tail Guild. Fairy Glitter is one of the three Great Magics of the Fairy Tail Guild and is sealed within Mavis' grave.
It is a Magic that rivals Fairy Law and is a radiance of merciless light that "denies the existence" of nearby foes. It is also an exceedingly complex and unfathomably intricate Magic that collects and concentrates the light of the sun, the moon, and the stars.
By casting this incantation, the effects will begin immediately:
"Gather! O river of light that's guided by the fairies! Shine! In order to perish the fangs of evil! Fairy Glitter!"

Feeling the trust placed on his shoulders Mavis vanishing away Silva smiled clenching his fist determined to finish the job speaking to himself confidently, "I'll do everything in my power to win. I promise to make Grimoire Hearts pay for their transgressions."
Before he could move forward turning around he froze eyes widening feeling the nasty Black Magic coming off from Zeref's body eyes widening responding, "So it's you… you are the one from back then…"
Silva confused tried to play off eyes glaring at Zeref as if his an intruder with ill intent towards him catching Zeref's attention in the shift of tone, "Tell me why you members of Grimoire Hearts doing to our island!!"
Zeref understanding the situation immediately tried to dissuade Silva from trying to start small talk wanting to know his own questions, "Hold on here…!! I'm not here to fight I'm merely wanting to ask a few questions about… your magic."
Finding his words Silva raised an eyebrow not wanting to discuss this topic responding cautiously after carefully examining the immortal wizard, "You don't seem like someone who wants to harm others… but I'm afraid I can't answer your questions. I must see to it that the intruders are dealt with I suggest you leave sir. For your own safety or others."
Seeing that Zeref isn't himself Silva uses this opportunity to flee away from the Wizard ensuring he doesn't realize he has Fairy Heart or wishes to confront the black wizard.
Using the confusion Silva will try to flee away from Zeref by using Grimoire Hearts as an excuse to take care of them leaving the Black Wizard alone since this time Zeref hasn't lost his way of life yet…
Zeref wanted to know but knew the situation and chaos happening merely sighed in understanding in his passive state, "Sigh… I suppose it's for the best. I don't want no one to die because of my Magic… and this grave who does it belong to?"
Remaining silent Silva finally responded leaving the Black Mage surprised by the words escaping his mouth in a saddened tone, "This island and grave belong to a dear friend of mine, Mavis Vermillion."
Strolling aside and quickly running away from Zeref the Black Wizard eyes the grave with sadness in them as Mavis's nearby eyes widen in shock seeing Zeref arrive at her grave…
He merely sighed turning away and leaving the place not wanting to cause harm to a person he once shared a moment together…
His eyes lose some life in them seeing members of Grimoire Hearts coming and responding in a cold tone making them shiver in fear, "I see… it was her grave. But you people made me react like this…"
*BOOOM*
Releasing a small wave of death magic from his curse the Grimoire Heart members died instantly upon contact as Zeref coldly mutters as Mavis watches, "At the very least… I'll clean any mess I have made upon your home island Mavis…"
*Tmp*
*Tmp*
Walking off Mavis could only look at Zeref back wandering the chaos unfolding of uncertainty in her heart…
/////
Elsewhere everything turned into a battlefield with members of Fairy Tail fighting hard but were soon separated by the large forces each dealing with their battles.
One such event with Gray and Ur both fighting a group of Grimoire Heart members panting using some of their energy.
Gray responded in a semi-tired tone trying to keep up with Ur in a determined tone, "Whew… these guys are certainly tough Ur-sensei…"
Ur nodded her head in agreement managing to sweat commenting on the enemy forces lessening in the process, "Yeah… but sooner or later the enemies are going to use their big guns soon –"
Ur eyes stopped in her tracks as Ultear along with Meredy froze seeing the targets that harmed Ultear the most.
As if the hands of fate interfered as the Ultear group searching for Zeref accidentally stumbled upon Ur and Gray in a sick twist of fate encountering each other.
Ur not able to hold it couldn't help but mutter in shock and happiness meeting her daughter, "Ultear… is it…"
However, she was interrupted by Ultear her face twisting into hate muttering in disbelief, "You… why did –"
*Wooosh*
Knowing she couldn't have a conversation like this and surprising Ultear Ur rushed ahead slamming into her daughter catching her by surprise.
Heading in a different direction Meredy began to follow suit but…
*Shiiii*
Gray interfered stopping Meredy in her tracks trusting Ur to get through to her daughter in a determined tone, "Sorry little girl… but I prefer if my sensei talked things out with her. After being apart for this long only to meet her here…"
Meredy gritted her teeth annoyed flaring her Magic Power glaring hatefully at Gray ready to quickly deal with him in a hateful tone, "No! She's the one person I have to kill for Ultear's sake! You are second on the list!"
Gray expressed a smug grin on his face preparing his own battle-facing Meredy giving Ur all the time he could provide in a determined tone, "That may so… but it's their battle to decide not ours to interfere. But if you insist, I'll take you on myself!!"
*THUD*
Slamming down catching both their attention Lancer arrived holding his spear Lavias at ready to help as Gray nodded appreciating the help.
Meredy annoyed by the students of Ur interfering with her goal of revenge for Ultear's sake exclaimed in fury at the two, "And number three appeared!! I'll make Ultear happy when you both and number four Lyon all vanish from this world!!"
*KLANLK*
Like that, the battle of the hearts is occurring…
/////
*BAM*
Slamming into a nearby tree away from Gray's fight Ultear managed to push Ur away shouting in rage already beating down on Ur, "Damn you mother!! Why… Why did you have to appear now!!!"
*Bam*
*Bam*
*Bam*
*Bam*
Continuing beating her mother Ur Ultear relented her frustration onto her and yet Ur hasn't made any move to defend herself from her daughter's justified attacks accepting them as her punishment for the failure of a mother.
Ultear continues beating onto Ur furiously with her hands exclaiming to her in bitter frustration why now she appears, "It wasn't enough that you to abandoned me! Now you must ruin everything?! Where so close! With Zeref, I could change the past have ways that should have happened!! Why can't you see that…"
No words were needed for Ur to reply to her daughter's claims doubting her, "Would Zeref even do so…"
Ultear began to say he would only for the said man himself to proclaim shocking them his presence unnerving speaking the truth, "I'm sorry but that's merely impossible."
Ultear froze seeing the man and the Magical Power they were searching for to say her dream was impossible denying his claims ready to capture him in a defiant tone, "No you have to be lying!!! With you the Magic of <Arc of Time> will finally –"
*BOOOM*
Yet she froze in fear gazing upon the Black Wizard's eyes unleashing his unfathomable Magic Pressure making Ultear Magic Power a child in comparison forcing her to stop any actions as her instincts forced her to stop to preserve her own life.
However, what Zeref said next forced the words to be caught in her mouth in an expressionless face in a deadpan tone, "No. That Magic I created was deemed a failure in that it won't bring others to the past… only affects the non-living and if I were to have perfected it… well… we wouldn't be having this conversation now wouldn't we?"
His tone and expression said it all disgusted viewing Ultear turning to leave trying to maintain his own emotions in check, "Humans like you always disgust me. Fighting for your own benefit even when your own mother won't fight her own child. Truly humanity or monkeys like you makes it hard for me to stay neutral… and if you dare try to come towards me…"
*BOOOM*
Showed his <Black Magic> to nearby forces of Grimoire Hearts and life died instantly as the sensation of death crawled towards the mother and daughter duo in a serious tone as Zeref lost some life in his eyes, "I'll guarantee that it will be your last for disturbing one of my… acquaintances home. It's my fault you came thus I'll leave respecting my former acquaintance so as not to cause more problems…"
*Tmp*
*Tmp*
Fear gripped Ultear's heart realizing that the one person she needed helped straight up denied her in any way as it was her that led Grimoire Hearts to this island…
An island that Zeref now realized belonged to Mavis Vermillion a person he could call a friend that shared the same pain as him.
The same person that he brought ruin to her home island causing him to lose some life in them as despite trying to keep himself away from life…
Realizing that he brought enemies to his friend's home made him lose some care of life towards the Grimoire Hearts after trailing Silva being aware of who's home, he brought ruin just by his presence…
Zeref wasn't afraid to eliminate people who dared destroy his lover's former home.
Not after learning where he was now.
Disbelief realizing Zeref won't help as if she tried she will really die as all energy vanishes in her eyes her dreams of changing the past are ruined in despair tone, "No… it's over… everything I've done… every atrocity I've done to make the pain and nightmares go away… the way I destroyed Meredy's hometown… nothing… all of it for nothing… NOTHING!!!!!"
Ultear began to break down no longer caring screaming her pain knowing everything she'd done the pain she inflicted all for nothing.
All the misery and promise each time she closes her eyes asleep all in vain.
All of it became pointless at that moment.
Breaking down Ultear felt the depths of despair feeling her path in ruin muttering in despair, "All in my life work… nothing… all the damages the pain I've done… only for the one to help me that it was impossible… I have nothing… Nothing… ahhhh…!!!"
Crying out like the times in the past abandoned on her knees Ultear soon felt warmth from Ur apologizing to her crying for failing her, "Ultear. I love you no matter what you do. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me. Losing you was the worst a mother felt, and I know I will regret not investigating you believing the wrong people… I don't care if you hate me I love you Ultear."
*bam*
*bam*
Raising some energy to punch her mother onto her chest repeatedly crying denying it as Ur pulled her in a hug trying to escape screaming at her till she was silenced by the tears streaming down her face, "I hate you!! I hate you!! Get away no!! Please leave me alone… I don't want to feel abandoned by you again… I hate… you… please… just… leave me alone…I… I don't deserve to be loved…"
Ur not relenting only continued to hug her closely tightening between them tears streaming down her face and continuing to respond, "I'm sorry Ur… please know I love you… I love you… I love you… I love you… my daughter… I love you…"
Ultear and Ur both had their moment that despite the chaos and madness happening on the island the two had peace between them trying to heal the wounds lost to them by time…
