As Erza, Mira, Gajeel and Natsu entered in the cathedral's doorway, they were looking in disbelief at Mystogan with Erza being frozen and somewhat shaken...
Natsu : Erm?? Who is the new guy??
Mira : That's Mystogan... but...
After being hit Mystogan's face was revealed and it was the same as Jellal's shocking Erza and Mira while Natsu took a while to remember him...
Natsu : Aaaaahhhh!!!! It's you!!!!!
As Mystogan, caught off-guard by seeing Erza and the rest he didn't managed to cover his face instantly after his mask got torn to shreds and then turn in ashes.
Mystogan : Sigh... Out of all people, i didn't want you to see my true face Erza...
Mystogan : Especially after what happened with Jellal...
Natsu started burning up as white flames came out of him but Erza and Mira who were more rational and managed to pick a few things from Mystogan's words calmed Natsu with two punches in his face...
Erza : Are you truly not Jellal???
Mystogan : I know of Jellal but i am not him. Furthermore, at the time you were fighting him i was helping the Master that should be enough of a failsafe...
Mystogan : More Importantly, all of you go and crash the Lacrima's outside...
Mystogan : I'll deal with Laxus...
They all turned to see Laxus with his words and were shocked as they could see scales forming in his body as he was standing up with wounds all over his body...
Laxus : Huh?? Deal with me you say??
Laxus : Just because you got a few lucky shots that don't mean anything!!
Mystogan suddenly dissipates into smoke as he apologizes and states that he leaves the rest to them as he charged at Laxus...
Laxus also vanished from his place with thunder flickering in his body greatly increasing his speed as the others kept looking at the high-speed battle unfolding in their eyes...
Erza : Let's go, we don't have that much time!!
Mira : Yeah...
Natsu : God damn it!!! You better remember this Mystogan!!!
Gajeel : Gege... I'm gonna smash more Lacrimas than anyone...
Natsu : That would be me!!!
Gajeel : No me!!!
Natsu : Bring it scrappy!!!
Both Girls : Shut UP!!!!
Both Boys : Yes!!!
Erza : Mira i'll take care of the 300 something with my swords but the last 50 or so...
Mira : Don't worry about it... We will take care of them!!!
Back on the fight of Mystogan vs Laxus, Mystogan was slowly overwhelmed by Laxus as he had revealed his true strength which was that of a Dragon Slayer...
Laxus : Lightning Dragon's Roar!!!!
Mystigan : Three-Layered Magic Circle : Mirror Water
Mystogan used several Magic staves to cast his Magic circle that reflected Laxus roar back at him as he was sent flying from his own attack...
Laxus : Good... Good...
Mystogan : Unfortunately i don't have time for you... Hmm??
Mystogan : Are you kidding me now???
A sphere that was in the pouch of Mystogan started glowing making his expression a bit grave as he couldn't deal with both problems at once...
Then an idea came in his mind using both problems to solve each other out...
Back where Ryouji was and the rest he suddenly got up and looked far in the horizon where their fight was unfolding and at the same time he looked in the sky above them...
He waved his hand and a few Guards appeared outside the runes field of where they were locked...
Ryouji : Go and support from the shadows The Prince as he gains control of the Anima... All of you have faced one before and managed to close it easily...
Guards x 5 : Yes!!!!
Violetta, Lisa and Anna along with Makarov were puzzled who did he call a Prince?? The only person that came to their minds as the most mysterious one was Mystogan himself...
