Lucy Heartfilia vs. Brandish μ

Lucy Heartfilia vs. Brandish μ is a fight fought between Fairy Tail Mage Lucy Heartfilia and Brandish μ of the Spriggan 12.

Prologue
In the Fairy Tail guild hall with all of the Spriggan 12 reuinited and after Dimaria apologizes to Brandish, Zeref asks Irene to begin the process of removing Fairy Heart. Zeref then declares that he will not allow another tomorrow for Fairy Tail, posted with his guards as they await the resistance. Brandish later moves onto the battlefield, interrupting Invel's battle against Gray, appearing as a giant, in order to snatch away the freshly-thawed Lucy, Natsu and Happy, the former of whom she coldly silences with a rough squeeze.

Later, at an unspecified location, she drops the trio onto the ground, reassuring them that she doesn't want to fight them. Brandish explains that she owes them a favor, thus promising to act as if she never encountered them while going to the battlefield to fight for her homeland. Against the three Mages, she declares they have no chance against Alvarez due to the overwhelming numbers of power, making it clear that their friends will die today. She confirms this by mentioning their first encounter back on Caracole Island, having let them go instead of killing them, provoking Natsu, but they are all suddenly interrupted by Neinhart's arrival. Evidently under Irene's enchantment, even Brandish herself doesn't stand a chance against him. However, bearing witness to Natsu's determination and strength, he denies his presence by blowing him back; this causing Brandish to stand in awe of his power but as he quickly turns to fight her she enlarges his tumor causing him to fall to the ground in pain, with Lucy rushing to his side.

Battle
Lucy, violently questions her methods of increasing Natsu's tumor which Brandish retorts that he simply an enemy beginning her soliloquy on needing to confirm and settle her inner differences, saying it doesn't matter of their past and that she will fight her, which prompts Lucy to engage her swiftly in battle and asking to promise to heal Natsu with her defeat. The Spriggan 12 kicks her away, which Lucy then utilizes Scorpio and her Scorpio Form to attack her in a sand whirlwind, but Brandish reduces Lucy and begins to crush her with her hand, crashing down to land. She quickly reneges this by transforming into her Cancer Form, quickly slicing all around her body, causing Brandish o enlarge her once more. She then changes into her Aquarius Form, blasting Brandish with her Aqua Metria, sending the latter to ground but she quickly reduces the water, forming it into her hand which shocks Lucy; Brandish then magnifying the compressed water at Lucy, damanging her heavily while Lucy acknowles that she is much stronger her but she won't give up to protect Natsu. Suddenly, Dimaria appears to question Brandish's leniency over Lucy, theorizes that she could easily kill both of their foes but instead puts up a farce in front of her while holding back. Brandish quietly glares at the truths she speaks, causing Dimaria to activate her Age Seal; Brandish tries to stop her but is cut down in a flash by the Valkyrie, blood falling from her mouth as she towers down.

Aftermath
Stunned at her act, Lucy shrieks in horror as Brandish falls to ground with blood profusely falling from her mouth. Happy couldn't believe he didn't see what just happened, while Dimaria, re-activating her Age Seal once more, steps on Lucy head while promising that she will die slowly for corrupting her comrade's mind and actions.
