❝He and I, we were black and white. So different, yet so similar. Where he was blunt, I was kind. Where I was obedient, he was a rebel. So, when he left me, it truly did feel like I lost my other half. I have no one to balance me out, and no one to...
"Laxus, stop!" I stood in the entrance of the doorway, squinting my eyes do to the light being cast from Laxus' buildup of magic energy. He was letting out a bestial yell as he built up more and more energy. I still was in shock that he had mastered Fairy Law, let alone was really resorting to using it to win the guild.

Natsu and Gajeel's head whipped around to stare at me.
I guess Gajeel joined the fight. Must've been some battle with three dragon slayers fighting.
"(Y/n)?!" Natsu exclaimed. At that moment Levy entered behind me and grabbed my arm, hiding behind me from Laxus' fury. Gajeel's eyes landed on her.
"You idiot, what are you doing here?" Gajeel spat at her, though he was clearly saying it out of concern for her wellbeing.
I took a step forward and walked towards Laxus slowly, my hair flowing behind me because of the wind from Laxus' energy. Natsu and Gajeel laid down in front of Laxus, obviously knocked down by him.
"Laxus, stop this. That kind heart of gold I know you have inside you has been clouded with these delusions of us being weak. But this does not define you. Hell, maybe we are weak," I chuckled. "But if we are, we're only weak on a basis of magic, because we have something so much more important than magic- family."
I continued walking forward until I was so close to him I could touch him. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.
"Laxus, what you're doing is making Master sick. See him one last time, before it's too late. He's on his deathbed, Laxus." I could hear Natsu and Gajeel take a sharp inhale behind me. At this point Laxus had stopped bellowing and building up energy, though he still held the orb of light energy in between his palms. I took one last step. "Please Laxus, I know that big heart is still inside you. Stop this now; it's not too late. This is not who you are. You know who you are."
I placed a hand gingerly on his cheek and felt tears cascading down my cheeks as I looked into his completely white, lifeless eyes of fury. "Who you truly are."
At this his pupils came back and dilated. His pupils shook and stared right at me as he processed all of this.
Without warning he glanced past me at the two dragon slayers. His lips curved into a wicked smile while my hand still held his cheek. "This is working out perfectly for me. Now that the old man's at death's door I have an even better chance of becoming Fairy Tail's new master."
My face contorted to that of horror, but he remained unfazed. He didn't even look at me; it was as if he was completely ignoring the fact I was standing right in front of him. Levy let out a chocked sob and Gajeel muttered under his breath, "Damn you."
"This will be the dawn of a new era for Fairy Tail!" Laxus exclaimed as he began charging up his magic again and rubble from the destroyed church rose around him. "I'll rebuild everything from the ground up. I'll form the ultimate guild, one so powerful all will tremble at our name!"
