Battle In The Skies: Victory

(Third Person POV)

"Did he win??" Lucy asked as she looked over to where Jason was

The massive sandstorm had disappeared completely and Ajeel's ship began to crumble in flames as Jason flew over it. 

He was looking down at Ajeel who was collapsed on the deck of his ship as it crumbled down to the ground. He could tell that there was a massive pool of blood forming around the fallen Shield, the wound caused by Jason's final attack. It was a devastating slash that was meant to cut Ajeel in half but only succeeded in cutting one of his arms off. 

"Asshole..." He said as he leaned the sword on his shoulder, "Guess that's that..." 

He then looked around, seeing that there were still several airships that remained. The Nemesis was still firing back at them, destroying several by the minute. From a Fleet of 40, it was reduced to a mere dozen. 

Natsu was still flying around, shooting flames at the ships, exploding them completely with ease. The amount of destruction caused by both the ship and the dragon slayer was notable. 

Back on the deck of the Nemesis, Erion was whimpering in pain, bleeding profusely. His wing had broken off and he had a massive chunk of flesh missing as well. He was in a terrible condition, something that was worrying both Mavis and Lucy. 

"Erion...." Mavis said

Erion then stood up and began to limp away, releasing an aura from his bleeding body. All of the members that were around him were surprised by this. 

Mavis then widened her eyes to see Erion's body beginning to crack as blue light began to shine from said cracks. 

The young dragon then reared his head back and let out a pained howl as his body began to crumble, covered in a dark black aura, his scales and flesh falling to the ground as he collapsed completely. 

"Erion!!" Mavis exclaimed as she ran towards him

"What's happening to him?!" Lucy asked as she followed

As they both reached the dragon, they saw that his massive dragon frame had been reduced to a pile of flesh and scales that emitted a dark aura. In the middle of a pile, Erion laid on his human baby form, crying loudly. 

"Oh...." Mavis said as she climbed the pile and grabbed him in her arms, "Erion...It's okay...." 

She held him close against her chest, feeling the intense heat coming from his body. Lucy and the others looked at this and had worried looks on their faces, wondering if the child would be okay. 

Suddenly, Jason appeared on the deck and walked over to Mavis who was climbing down the pile of flesh. 

"Erion!" He exclaimed, "I-Is he okay?!"

Mavis walked up to him, "His body is heating up!" She said, "His entire dragon body crumbled completely..." 

Jason grabbed Erion from her arms, "Give him here." He said, "Oh boy....this isn't good..." 

He put his hand on Erion's forehead as the child was crying loudly. His hand then glowed and Erion's body slowly came to a stop, his expression going from a pained one to a calm one. 

Mavis looked at this with a surprised face, "W-What did you do?" She asked, "His body....I can tell, it's no longer overheated.." 

"I used an enchant to cool his body down...." He said, "I gotta go get him his medicine...." 

Lucy walked up to him, "W-What about that?" She asked referring to the pile of flesh

Jason looked at it with a serious expression, debating on whether or not he should do what Felicity suggested for him to do. He could feel an immense amount of magic power coming from the pile of flesh, the scales, the bones, and the plates as well. 

He wasn't sure if he was capable of using his Transmutation for more weapons, since the massive odachi he created prior was incredibly powerful. 

"Leave it here for now." Jason said, "I have to take him to the infirmary quickly. Get to the control room, Felicity will guide you on how to use the weapons, this battle ain't over, clean the remaining ships up. The Shield of Spriggan has been defeated." 

Jason walked away, holding Erion in his arms, making his way inside. 

Mavis nodded and looked at the others, "Yes, go and do that." She said, 

"We're not done yet here." 

********************************************************

Natsu landed on the deck, Happy flying above him. 

"Alright!" He said, "That was a good workout!" 

He then noticed the pile of Erion's discarded flesh and bones and covered his nose, being taken aback by the pungent smell and overwhelming magic power. 

"Damn..." He said, "I wonder what that's about....' 

He then made his way back inside the briefing room and was met by Lucy and Juvia who were smiling. 

"Good Job, Natsu-san!" Juvia said brightly, "You managed to destroy the remaining ships!" 

"Yea, you managed to outshoot this ship's cannons." Lucy said, "That's something." 

Happy floated behind him, "He was doing too much..." He said with a frown

Natsu smirked, "Oh yea, I'm just that guy." He said pumping his fist, "Where's Jason? He fought the Spriggan Shield dude, no? The fucking sand guy." 

Lucy nodded, "Yea, he defeated the Shield." She replied, "He's in the infirmary with Erion, tending to him." 

Natsu frowned, "Erion?" He said, "What happened?" 

Juvia had a sad expression on her face, "Poor Erion-kun, he suffered heavy damage in his dragon form..." She said, "He looked like he was in so much pain.." 

"Damn.." Natsu said, "So that's what the pile of flesh is....man, poor kid...." 

Lucy nodded, "Yea..." She said with a sad face, "He looked like it was too much for him....Master Mavis and Jason are with him now....." 

Natsu crossed his arms, "Well, at least for now..." He said, "I guess we can call this a victory, no?" 

All around the Nemesis, there were dozens of clouds of smoke and flames, remnants of the fleet that had assaulted them. Both the ship's weapons and Natsu were in charge of dispatching the ships and had been successful in this. 

This marked another victory for Fairy Tail and Jason. 

Inside the ship, at the infirmary, Jason stood over Erion who was wrapped in a blanket as he began to cry, his face getting redder and redder as his body began to emit a bit of steam. 

Mavis looked at Jason with a worried expression, "Did the medicine not work?" She asked him, "His condition is worsening..." 

Jason gritted his teeth, "Dammit..." He said, "This is not good at all." 

"I'll have to do it after all..."
