The air aboard the Fairy Hargeon—a ship retrofitted with celestial lacrima and dragon-scale plating—hung heavy with tension. Weiss leaned against the mast, his veins flickering with unstable golden light as Levy and Mirajane worked feverishly to stabilize his soul. The Soulforge hammer glowed between them, its spectral flames stitching cracks in his essence.
"Soul integrity at 38%," Levy muttered, adjusting her glasses. "If we push Harem Sync to 200%, he'll shatter."
Mirajane's demonic markings pulsed as she channeled healing magic. "Then we don't push. We evolve."
Celestial Heist: Treasury of Bones
Mariejois loomed on the horizon, its spires clawing at a blood-red sky. Lucy and Nami crouched on a rooftop, their sync interface hovering ominously:
Harem Sync Efficiency: 185%
Required for Dragon's Ascension: 200%
"This is suicide," Lucy hissed, adjusting her Eclipse Key gauntlet. "Even with the sync, we can't bypass Im's knights."
Nami smirked, Storm's Heart humming. "You're just mad I get to crack the vault."
"Focus," Erza interrupted via lacrima earpiece. "The treasury's guarded by Void Century automatons. Distract them. Then bicker."
The vault door was a slab of obsidian etched with dragon runes. Nami's clima-tact tapped the lock, celestial lightning arcing across its surface. "Ready?"
Lucy's Eclipse Key flared. "Always."
The Automaton Legion
The door creaked open, revealing a chamber lined with fossilized dragon eggs. Before they could react, the walls moved—armored knights forged from bone and shadow, their eyes burning with Im's sigil.
"Intruders," the lead knight rasped. "You stand upon sacred decay."
Nami unleashed a Storm's Heart barrage, lightning ricocheting off their armor. "They're immune!"
"Switch sync!" Lucy shouted, slamming her Eclipse Key into the floor. "Void Singularity!"
A black hole erupted, warping the automatons' forms. Nami's Storm's Heart synced with the distortion, amplifying it into a localized supernova. The knights disintegrated, but the blast destabilized the vault's supports.
"Move!" Lucy yanked Nami aside as the ceiling collapsed, sealing the treasury.
Zeref's Resurgence
Deep beneath Mariejois, Zeref stood before a cavernous pit. The Adamantine Leviathan's essence swirled above, merging with hundreds of resurrected dragon skeletons. Their hollow eyes ignited with black fire as they stirred.
"Rise, children of the Void," Zeref whispered. "Rewrite history."
One dragon, smaller and sleeker than the others, peeled from the ranks. Its scales shimmered with stolen celestial energy—Lucy's Eclipse magic.
"Find the Sovereign," Zeref commanded. "Break him."
Kizaru's Ultimatum: Part II
Back on the Fairy Hargeon, Kizaru materialized in a sunburst, his grin sharper than ever. "Tick-tock~ Im's offering a new deal: surrender the Soulforge, or…"
He tossed a lacrima orb onto the deck. It projected a live feed—Fish-Man Island's barrier cracking under sea king assaults.
"No!" Weiss lurched forward, golden light tearing at his skin. "You promised—"
"Promises are for heroes," Kizaru said. "You're a grenade. Mariejois just pulls the pin."

Harem Sync: Breaking Point
Nami and Lucy burst onto the deck, the stolen dragon egg clutched in Lucy's arms. "We need to go! Now!"
Weiss's eyes locked on the egg. Its surface pulsed with the same Void Century runes as Im's vault. "That's not a relic. It's a battery."
Erza requipped into her Sea Empress Armor, trident gleaming. "Forget the egg—Fish-Man Island's dying!"
"No," Weiss said, gripping the Soulforge. "We use the egg to amplify Harem Sync. Then we save them."
Nami's clima-tact crackled. "Sync's at 185%! Pushing further will—"
"Do it." Weiss's voice brooked no argument.
The trio synced, their magic intertwining—golden dragon scales, celestial starlight, and Storm's Heart lightning. The system screamed:
Harem Sync Efficiency: 210%
Soul Integrity: 9%
Dragon's Ascension
Weiss's body disintegrated and reformed, his human form replaced by a towering hybrid of dragon and celestial energy. Wings of void and gold spread wide as he roared, the sound shaking the heavens.

Kizaru actually looked impressed. "Now this is fun.~"
Weiss lunged, tearing a hole in reality itself. The sea kings assaulting Fish-Man Island froze as his Eclipse aura washed over them.
"Stand down," he commanded, voice echoing across dimensions.
The sea kings bowed.
But in the silence, a new roar echoed—Zeref's resurrected dragon, its Eclipse-clad jaws closing on the Fairy Hargeon.
Cliffhanger: The Eclipse Dragon
The creature's scales mirrored Weiss's Ascended form, its eyes blazing with Lucy's stolen magic.
"You are a echo," it hissed. "I am evolution."
Weiss's wings faltered, his soul fraying at the edges. Nami and Lucy synced instinctively, their combined magic barely deflecting the dragon's strike.
"Weiss!" Erza shouted. "Finish this!"
But the Eclipse Sovereign's light was dimming. Somewhere in Mariejois, Im smiled.
