Fairy Tail: Jinchuriki

When Lucy rewrites some parts of E.N.D Book, the others assist her because they found out that the Book will try to prevent it. Alex already knew that, but he wouldn't say anything unless they didn't realize it.

Fortunately, they realized this matter and made preparations to prevent it. Freed prepares a formation to weaken the Book and stops its retaliation. But he knows his magic won't be strong enough to stop Zeref's magic.

So Alex asks him to redirect the Book's magic to someone else while Lucy rewrites it. If Gray lessens Lucy's burden by sharing the pain caused by the Book's retaliation magic when she rewrote it in the series, Alex wants to take all the damage alone.

He asks Freed to redirect the Book's attack just to himself so Lucy can focus on rewriting the Book. It's difficult to do because Freed needs to make the Book's defense mechanism to think that Alex is the one altering its content, not Lucy, but he can make it after racking his brain.

Then, when they rewrite the book, Alex needs to be the one who holds the Book. He flows a little of his magic power into the book to trigger its defense mechanism into thinking that he is the one that attacks it.

Black words come out of the Book, moving on Alex's hands before spreading all over his body. They are like direct attacks on his skin and they sure will hurt Lucy greatly if they crawl on her. But for Alex, they just feel ticklish, like a baby's slaps.

"I got worried for nothing. Sigh, take your time to rewrite this book." Alex says it nonchalantly but everyone else already feels nervous seeing the magic letters covering his body.

They can sense the ominous magic power coming from those letters and they know very well that the damage caused by those words isn't that small and it will be painful if they are the ones receiving it.

But seeing Alex doesn't even twitch makes them sigh in relief. They are even more relieved when Lucy starts rewriting the Book and nothing happens to her. There was still a small chance the Book would change its target to Lucy once she rewrote it, after all.

What they don't know is that Alex uses his Rinne-Sharingan's absorption skill to tie the Book's attack onto himself. He absorbs the Book's magic power very slowly to make its magic words stick onto his skin.

He also uses his magic power to suppress the Book's magic power. No matter how much magic power Zeref stored in this book, it would've been reduced a lot after 400 years and Alex has more magic power than even Zeref himself, so suppressing leftover magic power in this book is easy.

Lucy rewrites the part where Natsu's life is connected to Zeref, the part where his personality will be altered when the Demon Seed is activated, the part where his life and power is connected to this Book, etc.

They have done enough research to make sure Natsu will just be Natsu. A single individual whose life isn't affected by this Book or Zeref. He might fully be an Etherious Demon now, but he won't lose his personality and still be the Natsu they all know, that's all that matters.

The problem is, they can't sever the connection between Natsu and his book. This is like his origin, so destroying it might cause problems. That's why Alex decides to keep it safe in his personal dimension where no one else has access to it, so it'll be safe.

Anyway, with this, the problem of Natsu's life connection with Zeref is over. Alex can finally go to kill Zeref without any worries. But he has something else to do before that, taking Mavis's body out of her crystal.

Mavis herself was the one who requested him to help her out. She wants to meet her son and she can't do that without returning to her body. So she talked with Alex, Makarov, and Gildarts the new Guild Master.

They go to where her crystalized body is stored and the only way to take her body out is by destroying the crystal. Gildarts wants to try breaking it, but Makarov stops him because his magic might also destroy Mavis's body.

"Any magic strong enough to break this crystal can destroy her body, you know. This crystal should be even harder than her body, after all. Besides, even if her body is broken apart, she should still be able to recover because of her curse that makes her immortal." Alex taps the crystal with his finger.

"We-well, we should break the crystal without hurting her body." Makarov respects Mavis so much that he doesn't want to see her immortal body hurt, making her giggle.

"Sigh, well, let me try something."

Alex's left Rinne-Sharingan suddenly spins as he opens it wide while looking at Mavis's body inside the crystal. Then, all of a sudden, her body appears right in front of him, out of the crystal without doing anything to the crystal.

"Oh, it works."

Everyone yelps in surprise while Alex looks satisfied with this result. They quickly ask him what he has done and how he got Mavis's body out of the crystal.

"Well, my eyes have unique magic, you know that, right? This is just one of its unique abilities. I can switch the positions of 2 things that I can see with my eyes. In this case, I switch the 1st Master's body with the air in front of me."

This is the same as Sasuke's Rinne-Sharingan's ability. Alex discovered this ability during his battle with Acnologia back then, when he managed to activate Susanoo. But he didn't find any opportunity to use it on Acnologia back then, so he has just shown it to others now.

But well, with this, Mavis can come out of the crystal safely. The crystal that has a lot of her magic power stored in it can also still be used for a lot of things like fueling their airship and Jupiter Cannon better than the normal lacrima crystal they use now.

Alex lets Mavis get used to her body first before they go to attack Alvarez. Also, they won't just attack Alvarez because their target is just Zeref. If they can reduce civilian casualties, then they will do their best to reduce it.

So before attacking, Alex sends Mest on a mission. They are spreading special lacrimas in all of Alvarez's cities. These lacrimas can create big floating magic screens that will broadcast Alex's warning to Alvarez.

When these giant floating screens appear in town centers, the people of Alvarez are obviously surprised. They are even more surprised when knowing the screens are broadcasting a warning, a threat to their Empire, done by a Mage of Ishgar.

"People of Alvarez, this is Alexander Sterling from Ishgar speaking. If you don't know me, then that's fine. But your Emperor and your Spriggan must know about me, so you can ask them. I'm doing this broadcast to warn you about an incoming war. Alvarez has attacked Ishgar a few times in the past and we only stopped you or sent you back. But now, we are planning to return the favor. We will be the one attacking now. But unlike you, we will only attack your Emperor. Our enmity is with your Emperor, Zeref. So wherever Zeref is, we will attack that place. If you want to be safe, then get away as far as possible from that man. But if you try to protect him, then we won't show mercy. You can scoff and laugh at this warning message, but always remember in the future that you've been warned. We will give you a week to evacuate and prepare yourself. But if your Empire decides to move to Ishgar and attack us first during this 1 week, then the war will happen soon. We won't let you invade our home again, so whenever you try to make your move, we will also make our move. Just know that we won't let our home always become the battlefield. It's your turn to get some damage. Protest and hate us all you want, but it's your stupid Emperor who started all of this. We are just finishing the war you started."

Alex stops the broadcast and as he intended, it causes an uproar all over Alvarez. The news also spread in Ishgar and other nations in other continents. This is such a bold move from Alex and Ishgar, after all, so everyone is talking about this.

Many people in Alvarez are unsure of what to do, but most of them are panicking over the possibility of war on their land. Confusions spread on Alvarez, even among the Spriggan who questions Alex's intention for making that broadcast.

They have different speculations but still unsure of what to do about it. Some think of just attacking Ishgar first as usual while some think of preparing strong defense.

"Sigh, I will go to personally ask him."

Zeref just says that before opening a door to the void. He disappears and moves through the space to meet Alex who has expected his visit. They finally meet again after some months.
