Destroy the Moon! [Shine Like the Moon, Mari and Simon]

Simon's plan to conserve his own magic power was to instead use his weapon's separate magic source. Simon held his right hand open over his left hand as if gripping and invisible sword "Gather Amo no Murakumo!" and with a flash of light from his jeweled rings a sword of golden light materialized in his hands. At present Simon was facing down the towering omega werewolf, preparing to take it down a size. Remembering he was in the presence of the blade master himself he quipped  "Oi leo! Try not to pay much attention to my form, I don't have any." With that he charged his lycan enemy. It was true though, Simon had no formal sword training and this was his first time really using Amo No Murakumo in combat as a sword. He jumped at his much larger-then-him target holding the light sword over his head preparing to try and do some damage when his third most embarrassing moment to date occurred. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lycan opeened it's massive maw and ate him in a single bite. It took Simon a moment to process what happened because it occurred so quickly.

One second he was flying through the air about to (poorly) perform a mid-air sword slash thing the next he was sprawled on a giant wolf's tongue. Losing his concentration Amo no Murakumo vanished and before Simon could even stand up(much less resummon his sword) the lycan pressed it's tongue against the roof of his mouth, knocking the wind out of Simon, before tilting it back and letting the poor boy roll into his throat. If ever asked to describe what being swallowed felt like Simon would avoid answering, it was that unpleasant. He was slimy, his ego stabbed and was currently free falling down a giant esophagus. The poor boy knew if he didn't act fast he was gonna learn a lot about the digestive system but with the wind knocked out of him he was struggling to do anything productive.  Simon could see the end of the tunnel that was this wolve's throat and knew that directly after it was  stomach acid central. For some reason that shocked him into action. He glided over to the wall of the esophagus and placed his foot on it and pushed off. This launched him up and to the other side of the throat where he repeated the process to get higher up.

Before long he was wall jumping his way out of there. On the outside the werewolf was clutching it's throat in pain, apparently having your inner tissue used as a spring board wasn't a pleasant feeling. The struggle is real. After a great deal of effort Simon worked  his way back to the mouth and made a break for freedom running on the omega's tongue. "Heh guess I should be greatful this guy never learned to chew." As if on his side the omega opened his mouth just enough for Simon to jump out, which he did-almost. Halfway in and halfway out the gaping maw Simon was seeking to escape slammed shut. He screamed as the jagged teeth dug into him from both sides, it felt like he was going to get cut clean in half(in a not at all clean way). Always one to go out with a bang Simon coated himself in blue fire and balled his hands into fists, he wanted to deliver some cool dieing movie line but just barely manged to yell "Rebirth Flame!" With that he exploded into a ball of vibrant blue fire that encompassed the omega's entire head. The giant fell backwards, smoke pouring from it's mouth, ears, nose and somehow it's eyes. It was defeated, all that was left of Simon was some ashes accumulating next to where the big bad wolf lay it's head.

Leonard watched Simon closely. It seems he would deliver the final blow. This was his job after all, and after all that has happened, he was simply glad that he was able to see such an outstanding feat from Simon. Out of nowhere, a blade was created from Simon's hands. Possibly because of the bracelet though. But the weapon that sprang forth was still incredibly magnificent. But something worried Leonard as the weapon came to be. The way Simon was holding it. It was simple and reckless. Predictable to say the least. He thought that maybe Simon may be in trouble so Leonard sprang into action once again.

He equipped the Sky Heart and dashed towards the enemy. But something made him stop. Something so terrible that almost made Leonard feel like a failure. For as Simon jumped towards the giant wolf thing, its mouth met Simon and devoured him completely. But as always, Leonard wasn't one to loose hope easily. He believed that there was still a way. He thought of slicing the wolf open to free Simon as he continued to charge towards it with a grin and a very angry face. The wolf was ready to meet him. He prepared for what he thought the Blademaster would do. But something happened that they both did not expect. Something that made them both stop and wonder what it was.

There was an infernal sound, a stomachache maybe? But whose? And then it looked like someone was punching the wolf. It started from the wolf stomach then it was starting to get up. The wolf was greatly irritated and it started punching and clawing back. But it really couldn't hit his "invisible enemy". But Leonard had a pretty good idea what was happening and only laughed and watched. p to the point where Simon got bitten by the huge teeth. The sight made Leonard tingle and charge again. But it looks like Simon had more tricks up his sleeve and impressed Leonard once again as he turned into fire and back to a kid, while dealing a huge amount of damage to the enemy. After that, Leonard approached Simon and said "Well, that's that. Good job, Simon. What now?"

There was nothing left of Simon but a pile of ashes, but that was all he needed. After a moment the ashes caught fire, engulfed in a blue blaze, and Simon regenerated from his own ashes. He pulled himself to his feet as the fire died off, miraculously his clothes regenerated with him, he rolled his shoulders and stretched a little. Coming back from the dead really made a person stiff. "Well, that's that. Good job, Simon. What now?" Simon looked up to the blade master and grinned "Oh you took out the golden wolf then? Did you by some off chance figure out how it was using fire magic?" As if in response to both questions, some twenty meters behind Leonard the werewolf Alpha came crashing through a half standing building. Simon was about to spring into action but as he moved just slightly he was overtaken by nausea and collapsed to his knees "Shit revival sickness. Bad time for this!" It really was a bad time for this because the golden werewolf was about to capitalize on this opportunity. It threw back it's head, standing on two feet, sucking in air before throwing itself forward on to all fours roaring!

"Fire Wolf's Roar!"

Simon watched helplessly as a massive blast of fire erupted form the beast's mouth. Seeing the attack the phoenix was hit by a hell of a revelation "Wait is that..." He never had time to finish his sentence as the blast of flames over took him. To keep it simple, it hurt like hell. Despite being resistant to fire the fire burnt Simon badly and sent him flying backwards. As the fire died down he was left tumbling on the rocky ground before coming to a halt facing away from the Alpha. He was already in sorry shape before the attack and now he was really messed up, someone without his resistance to flame probably would have had their face burned off. But Simon did have his resistance to flame so his pretty face was safe. Simon could only hope Leonard got out of the way of the attack or else they were really in for it. Especially if that lycan was who he thought it was.

Looks like everything was over now. Both of the monstrous creatures have been felled. It was quiet now. The wind also blew a different kind of wind, a more relaxing wind. Yet there was still something that made Leonard uneasy. And though there is most likely, or probably a time to celebrate but his guard was still up. As Leonard stood by Simon's side he was asked a question to which Leonard replied "I didn't get the chance to see it cast any spell. I downed it instantly." But as he said those words, he remembered his battle with the Alpha wolf. He did just singe the creature with lightning. But that probably wasn't enough. That maybe the beast could spring out at anytime. Which is why Leonard subtly stepped to the side. Preparing to evade whatever may come.

And his suspicions and preparations were sound as the Alpha wolf made his entrance. Both were ready but Leonard didn't make a move yet. But Simon did. Unfortunately he is unable to as he was greatly weakened by his revival. What's worse is that the wolf already made an attack. It was quick too and they won't be able to make it. So he had to move out of the way by side-stepping to his right, and sliding off a few meters more. while Simon took the hit.

Leonard grinned in anger. He wasn't able to help Simon. Or it looked that way. He can heal him instantly with one shot now. The wolf draw his attention at Leonard now commenting "That was quite a burn you gave me. But that's not enough to fell such a powerful creature such as myself. Now you'll pay the consequence of foolishness with your life!" And he quickly sent a punch towards Leonard that created a huge crater and a massive explosion of debris and dust. But he wondered why when he lifted his fist, Leonard's body didn't lie broken and dead there.

That was because was able to blink out of the way and overhead the alpha with his Void Keeper. Now Leonard was holding Archangel and replied "Thanks for the compliment. Now pay the same price! BLESSING OF HEAVEN!" the blade radiated with light and he sent forth a vicious massive wave from it, striking the wolf, slicing it in half. The wave continued to go and pass Simon and heal him completely. Afterwards, Leonard landed on the ground softly by the help of the wind.

Simon pulled himself to his feet and brushed himself off. Blue flames danced all over his body slowly mending his few injuries not covered by the blessing of heaven. "Yikes Leo. You really don't mess around. But-" He grimaced at the sight of the alpha wolf split in half, he really hoped that it wasn't who he thought it was. The mage bit his lip as the lycan's fur retracted and it shrunk back into a normal human. Simon let out a sigh of relief as the body of no one he knew was revealed. "Whew. For a second I thought you had just cut Mari in two there." As he said it on the horizon a beam of orange light painted the sky and the sun nudged it's way into the sky. Simon turned to see it "Looks like day has broken Ma- Leo." As he said it the various werewolves around the village began to revert to their human state and regain control of their own minds. Simon laughed and scratched the back of his head, it seemed everything was taken care of. "I rea- We really did it."

Within an hour everyone in the village would be conscious and accounted for. No one from outside the village was harmed. With some help from Simon's healing flame all the villagers who were injured in their werewolf state were saved. With the exception of the werewolf alpha naturally. The 6 humans who became the omega's who formed Tengen Toppa Gurren Lycan would later be tried and imprisoned for endangering the town with taboo magic. Simon was just happy there was only a single causality. However there was still the pressing question of what happened to Mari. Before departing the village he turned down the jewels and amulet offered because he failed to keep the alpha(who he later learned was name "Jennis Miles" a local fire mage) alive through the night. Then he left Leo with the words "I have to go find Mari, go ahead and return to Fairy Tail without me." Without waiting for a reply he jumped into the air and turned into a phoenix before flying off into the morning, on a search that would last over a week and yield no results aside from a crushed heart for Simon.

But that aside...
