Knowing that Fairy Tail's S-Class Mage Promotion Trial would begin in one week, Grimoire Heart prepared themselves for war, according to their Master's order. As the Grimoire Heart Airship traveled around Fiore, an immense Magical presence was detected when they reached the Worth Woodsea. One hundred scouts were sent to investigate, and only one returned. He informed that Brain of the Oración Seis had killed everyone and only spared one life so that life could return to inform his superiors. Hearing this, Hades put on his helmet, and announced that he would pay a visit to the old third head of the Ballam Alliance, alone. Ultear Milkovich reminded him that, being so distant from The Devil's Heart, he would not have the support of it affecting him, to which he replied that he didn't need it, that he was far more powerful than needed to deal with Brain. On his way towards the core of the Magical presence, Hades wondered why Brain would be releasing so much Magical pressure constantly, a question that was answered as soon as he arrived. To Hades' surprise, the person standing before him was not the Brain he knew, he was not the person Hades had prepared to deal with, this was a man he had encountered long ago but had believed that it would never again be unleashed, this was the reason why the Ballam Alliance was created, this was Zero. It made sense now. With the disbandment of the Oración Seis, Brain could not recreate the Six Prayers to seal his alter-ego anymore and was bound to this personality, a personality that only seeks destruction, with a Magical power so immense that he can't even hide it, or doesn't want to, always ready to kill. Hades considers retreating, returning to his ship, returning to his Heart, preparing for Zero; he would not want to fight against such a demon unprepared. But he is stopped by his own pride; the pride of being the king of the underworld. Knowing that he letting Zero attack first could be the biggest mistake of his life, Hades listed his hand, pointed at Zero, and shot.

Zero easily dodges the Magical bullet. Zero: Well, if it isn't the almighty Hades. Hades: Zero, It's been ages. I never thought I would see you again. Zero: By that bullet, I would guess that you have you come for a fight. Hades: I know you well enough that you want to kill everything, that includes me. I guess I'm just gonna have to send you to hell first. Hades points his palm at Zero, firing two chains, but Zero counters it with Zero Slash. Rebounding the chains back at Hades. Hades evades them by jumping to the side, while quickly pointing both index fingers at Zero in the air. Hades: Explosion Bullet!!!! The two beams are fired from midair and Zero list his arm and opens his palm. Zero: Dark Barrier. The massive explosion engulfs the barrier. When the effect and the barrier dies down, Zero notices strange Amaterasu seals surrounding him. Hades: Formula 100 The explosion surrounds Zero and send him flying, but Hades doesn't waste time and catches him with his chains while still in midair. Hades pulls on the chains and Zero is smashed against the ground and then dragged across the field, destroying the surrounding landscape. Zero, however, stomps on the ground, stopping his trajectory, grabs on the chain, and pulls Hades instead. Hades: *''How? I'm stronger than him. My... my heart!!* Without his hearts' strength, Hades is overpowered by Zero and is pulled up, above Zero, with the ground being the destination. But while in midair, Hades lets go of the chains and he fall to the ground on his feet, but as soon as he does, the ground beneath him breaks and a whole opens. Zero: Dark Gravity! As Hades falls, he tries to create a chain to pull himself up, but he is quickly enveloped by green energy. Zero: Ending Sonata!! The massive explosion inside the whole sends Hades flying outwards. Zero: Dark Delete! Zero Slash! Hades is pierced by the dark bullets and quickly slashed and sent flying. As soon as he falls, Hades moves his hand in a strange pattern, creating the Bomb Formula where Zero was, only to find the space empty. Zero quickly turns around and sees a Magical whip coming at him. Zero: Zero Slash! Hades is sent flying once more, and Zero appears above him before he falls. Zero: Dark Rondo! Hades is attacked by the beams and is smashed against the ground, causing debris to fly into the air. Without wasting time, Zero envelops his fists with Darkness Magic and jumps to attack Hades while he is down, only to find nothing. He then sees Hades already up, a dozen meters away, wiping some blood from his lip with his hand. Hades: It looks like I'm not going to be able to beat you without unleashing my true power. Zero: Ahahaha. So you have more in store? Great! I would've been really disappointed if this was all the great Hades was capable of. Hades reaches towards his eye patch and removes it. Hades: This will be your end. Demon's Eye, awaken! Hades starts releasing a vast amount of Magical power around him and move his hands and arms in a circular motion. Hades: Nemesis!!! Body parts made of Magical energy come out of pieces of rocks around Hades until they become full demons. Seeing this Zero gathers a large amount of Darkness Magic around his fingertips. Zero: Genesis Zero. Thousands of phantoms are unleashed, ready to consume all living things, but the demons counter them. Soon, a battle of two men becomes a large battle between phantoms and demons. Hades and Zero, seeing that both of their spells countered each other, resume their battle to the side. Hades raises both of his hands, bringing them together above him. Hades: Infinite Chain!!! A large number of chains are fired, but Zero raises his arm, releasing Dark Rondo to counter, creating an explosion between them. When the smoke clears, Hades notices intricate mechanical symbols on his chest and spreading through his body. Hades: What is this?!! Zero: That's a Self-Destruction Spell. Once it spreads out throughout your entire body, the destructive effect will take place, leaving only your ashes. Hades: You son of a bitch! Desperate, Hades, seeing that he has less than 10 seconds to kill Zero or die himself, resolves to use a forbidden spell of the Black Arts in exchange for some of his longevity. Hades: Book of Zeref, Chapter 6, Section 17. Dancing Demon's Blood Pact! From Zero' chest, a red, demonic arm comes out, followed by the other arm and then the body. In a matter of mere seconds, half a demon's body has come out of Zero chest. Zero: What the hell is this?! Demon: Your soul, has been claimed. The demon instantly bites off Zero's neck, sending his head rolling, leaving a trail of blood behind. The phantoms disappear and so does the Self-Destruction Spell.
