The following story takes place during the Grand Magic Games, day 7. After the activation of Eclipse plan, Fairy Tail, along with the guilds that took part in the tournament, are fighting against something bigger than anything they had to face so far. In the middle of that pandemonium, Levy, trying to help citizens get away, is suddenly hit by an attack coming from one of the enemies, and passes out.

.:: Disclaimer ::.

I don't own Fairy Tail, nor do I own any of this story's characters. They were all created by Hiro Mashima.


Levy was lying on the floor, eyes closed, not knowing whether she was still unconscious, dreaming, or if she was already dead. Little by little, the noises around her became clearer. Screams. Roars. Cries.

"Where am I ?"

Oh, that was it. She remembered now.

After Acnologia's attack, she thought the guild wouldn't have to endure such atrocities again. But what was happening that day was beyond anything she would have imagined.

Opening her eyes, she tried to stand up but her shaking made her fall again. She saw drops of blood on the floor beneath her.

"An injury ?"

She reached for her brow, and as if she had to realize she was wounded to feel it, a sharp pain suddenly hit her. But she had to stand up and help the others. She was starting to recognize the voices of her comrades and members of other guilds and saw some of them knocked-down, and others fighting against the demons and dragons that had been released by Eclipse plan. A few steps away, Doranbolt and Lahar, from the Council, were fighting along with Jellal against Arcadios, the one who triggered everything that was happening. Straight ahead, she caught sight of a running Natsu, his features contorted with anger, screaming Lucy's name as he was heading towards Mercurius castle.

"Lu-chan... Please be okay."

Finally managing to get up, she looked around and saw that Gajeel was facing a medium-sized red dragon. She charged at it without a hesitation.

"Solid Script : Missile !"

Hopefully with this and her second origin unlocked, she would be able to draw the dragon's attention so that Gajeel could take him by surprise. Hit by the attack, the dragon staggered a little and turned to face her. He roared and even if she was looking at him with determined, fierce eyes, she couldn't help but fear what was going to happen. But she had faith, because Gajeel was there. He would surely fight with all his might, by her side, and they would beat it together.

The dragon was charging but she was prepared.

"Solid Script : Fire !"

It hit again, but the monster wasn't stopped by the attack. She couldn't see what Gajeel was doing, the dragon being too close now for her to see anything but its red scales.

"Gajeel ! What are you doing !"

He didn't answer. Her heart skipped a beat at the thought he was injured during the fight, unable to take the dragon down. But she soon realized he was at her left, running towards her.

"What are you doing !" she repeated. "You are supposed to attack…"

She couldn't finish her sentence. He had caught her in a split-second, helding her on his shoulder, running to a safer place near the arena.

"Are you kidding me ? I can fight, why did you do that !" she said as he put her down on the floor.

"Did you see yourself ? You barely stood up, shrimp."

It was true that without the adrenaline of the fight, she realized how serious her condition was. Sitting there, she was feeling dizzy, and her vision was blurry. She hoped her injury didn't make her lose too much blood.

"I have to go back", he said. "I know you can fight, just stay here until you feel better, and don't put yourself in danger. I won't be able to focus if I have to save you every single second" he added with a smirk.

She gave him a death glare but couldn't help blushing, probably because he was pointing out how weak she was. Or maybe because of something else.

"Here", he said, offering her his headband. "You can use it as a bandage. I don't know how to do it though, so you'll have to do it yourself. I'm sure you're better than me at those things, anyway."

"Thanks" she mumbled as he turned to leave.

She looked at his back while he was walking away, and an uneasy feeling struck her. She felt a heavy pain in her chest : it was as if she knew it was the last time she would see him alive.


Hello guys !

First I need to say this is the first fanfiction I publish, and I enjoyed writing this, which is the reason why I decided to post it. I don't always lack imagination, but as for the fanfictions about ongoing fictions, I'd rather write about what may happen later, and I enjoy a lot trying to predict what happens next ^^. I did my best to avoid OOC parts, but I may not be a specialist in analyzing Mashima's characters' personalities so don't blame me too much if you found Gajeel too OOC (I don't think he was in this chapter, but it may happen later).

Also, English is not my mother tongue, but I study it and hopefully I didn't make too many mistakes. If there are grammar mistakes, or words that don't belong to the context in which I used them, let me know, and I'll fix it.

Now, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter ! Please review and tell me what you thought about it, so I know if I should write the rest of this story (which shouldn't exceed 3 or 4 chapters)
