Hello there! It is ThePurgeAU from anchooovyy. This is my first time writing action/thriller genre.

Forgive my mistakes!

The Purge not mine

Characters are from FT of Mashima-sensei

Juvia Lockser's hair always looked like she had spent a lot of time styling it. It was blue, tightly curled at the end complementing her deep blue eyes and small nose. The clock on the wall said 5:00pm. Any moment now someone will-

*knock*

*knock*

*knock*

"Woman, get ready. We're are going to set up. Join us when your done." On her door way was a tall, buffed man. Everyone would think he like to stay at the gym working out. His black hair was long and unruly. His red eyes were piercing. People often see him as a scary dude. That was always the case for Gajeel Redfox.

As expected, Juvia thought. "Juvia knows, Gajeel-kun." She said it without any hint of emotion.

There are two hours left to prepare. After two hours, it will happen. Again.

"I know you don't like this. None of us do. I will be going." He turn away and closed her door.

She closed her eyes and exhaled. "Everything's going to be alright just like the past years."

She has a specific closet for keeping a medium sized brief case. Once opened, she saw different kinds of weapons. Pistols, shotgun, rifles, knives and anything not higher than level four. There are also spare bullets and magazines. Personally she does not like these things. But it is the only way to stay alive.

Juvia made sure the guns were loaded. She also tried to use it pointing somewhere her imaginary target. She put on bullet proof vest under her long coat. On her left and right of her waist were pistols. She also placed a knife and handgun on her left leg. Juvia did not forget to wear her hat and her face blank.

Just like the past. They will definitely make it. She left the room and joined Gajeel downstairs.

Currently driving to a supermarket, the man in the driver's seat with a scowl on his face, his droopy eyes squinting, (I don't know how he made it. Really.) his hair jet black and rumpled. A normal observer would have an impression that he is a person with foul mood. Ironically with his friends, who were in the car with him, it is his natural look.

"This is unbelievable." He finally said. "I could have handled this alone. Oi! don't make the car dirty moron."

Sitting on the passenger's seat was a salmon coloured spiky hair his face almost green, his cheeks puffed like its holding something he can't let go. "Shudd up! Blame my motion sickness." He said.

"Then, you should have not come in the first place." He looked at the mirror to see the other people with him.

"We are a team, Gray. We come in full package." People would think that the woman with strong body of an athlete with long scarlet hair, and generous mouth was attractive.

"Natsu, I told you to sit here at the back beside me and let Erza in front." The girl at the back seat with a gentle beauty, her brown eyes big, her mouth and jaw was rounded said.

"Lushy," he was not able to continue what he's saying because he felt a turn in his stomach.

::::

Juvia arrived in the scene where Gajeel and three other men were also armed like her. They were all waiting for the time.

"45 minutes left. It's so sad. Simply so sad." Standing beside Gajeel was a stout man, his eyes were blindfolded but you can see that he is crying. He has this habit of putting together his hand like he was praying.

"Don't cry over every single thing. Annoying." People say that they are not getting along well by judging their communication. Gajeel have been like that ever since their group had formed

"Non, non, non! With three non That's, bonjour!"A man with a monocle on his right eye, appeared out of nowhere. His moss green hair and moustache, says a lot on his appearance. He is probably on his early 30's wearing brown suit. "Juvia-sama, please don't forget our job. My monocles tell me this year is going to be harder."

"Monsieur Sol needs not to worry. Juvia knows what she is doing. Juvia would never fail."

The last person in the room has dark orbs. The colour of his hair was divided into white and black. He was wearing an old rose clothes reminding the existence of a ninja. A sword hung on the side of him. His hair was tied up. "Alright, time for the lock down."

They dispersed in the house securing the locks. From windows to doors. After doing so, altogether they went upstairs and headed to another door.

"Juvia! Are we going to be alright?"

"Gajeel will protect us."

"Aria, Sol, and Totomaru will also help."

"You'll all be safe right?"

"Don't worry, we'll survive today. Just stay here, we will do the rest."

Again, going back they pulled down a barrier covering the space.

After running few errands the group of four moved toward their car. Natsu and Gray carry on their hand the groceries they have bought.

"What are you going to with that too much tobasco anyways?"

"None of your business ice cone freak. Don't you ever get brain freeze?" Natsu retorted.

The girls at their back observed their environment. They were getting scared. Lucy clung to Erza to feel safe. One more hour. The red head can tell that she was worried on might happen. This time is not really the safest time at all. They got near the car and Natsu visibly paled.

"I'm walking."

"Natsu just get in the car!" Lucy exclaimed which earned everyone's eyes. Only Erza immediately understand why.

They are being watched.

Several guys wearing mask were wandering around them. Weapons were dangling on their hands. They even threw them a look before hopping on the cargo truck which arrived recently.

After settling inside the car, Gray scurried away.

::::

"This is the Late Night News wishing anyone who are not participating the Purge a safe evening. For those releasing the beast have a successful cleanse. Good luck." The anchor of the channel Juvia and her group said after the news on how people were preparing about The Purge.

Emergency signal started brailing. A voice of a female was heard coming from the television. "This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system announcing the commencement of The Annual Purge sanctioned by the government.

Commencing at the siren any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours."

"...the new founding fathers. To America reborn." They all recite the last part sarcastically.

::::

"Sorry about earlier." Lucy said. They were downtown the city when she decided to speak. "I am afraid. The Purge is happening in less than an hour and we're still outside."

Erza put a hand on her shoulder to let her know that the team is together. She rubbed the blonde's back to soothe the tension she feels. Then suddenly, their engine spluttered.

"Gray what happened?" Erza asked without removing her hands on Lucy's shoulder.

"You fuelled the tank, didn't you?" Natsu recovered from his sickness due to their stop.

"I did." Their friend responded and continuously starts the engine but to no avail. "It just won't start!" He looked at the time. 6:40pm.

"What do you mean? We can't stay here. We're downtown, everybody come here to purge." Lucy said with her voice trembling.

They got out of the car and did what they can to have a ride. They have called everyone they know but all is futile. Then, Lucy saw a familiar vehicle.

"It's them." She sweat drop looking at the same truck and the same masked guys at the groceries earlier.

"I know this is not a good idea but we, have to walk." Erza told them.

Gray opened the car door and got a bag containing guns. Two to be exact. He threw one to Natsu and looked at Erza while Lucy stared wide eyed. "Why do you have that? Am I the only one unarmed?"

"I brought it for precaution."

"Don't worry. I came prepared." The red head come to Lucy. "Stay close to me."

"We've got no choice. Let's go!" Said Natsu.

Just as they reached the town, the siren started to blare.

The Annual Purge is on commencement.
