To everyone reading this I do NOT own the anime/ magna 'Fairy Tail' but Hiro Mashima does. This is just a Fan-fic that I hope people will enjoy. Please do excuse my lack of explaining people throguh the story, I am mainly just to lazy and hope that people have at least seen or heard of the show/ magna.

Magnolia Town

It was good to be back in town after that long job. By long job I mean it took me a good four years to complete. It was an S-class mission so I expected it to be long but not that long. Most of the time was spent travelling. Although the reward was REALLY good. Yes... I see the guild.

Everyone ran out of the guild when I approached. I remembered seeing a poster advertising a Miss Fairy Tail competition. Hmm, maybe Mira scared them off with her take over spell.

I got closer to the guild doors and hears the Master, Makarov, warning someone,"You Fool! Turn them back to normal!" What the hells going on in there? I waited a few moments before moving towards the doors.

I walked through the doors seeing Laxus, Evergreen, Freid, Bixlow and Evergreen on stage, along with Bisca, Erza, Levy, Mirajane, Kana and two others I didn't recognise. Only the latter had been turned to stone by Evergreen.

Laxus was looking at Makarov, "Why don't we play a game... old geezer?"

I was still over near the door listening to the exchange between them. Then Laxus nearly destroyed one of the statues. Then put his arm around the same one. "I'm taking these girls as hostages. I'll destroy them one by one if you break the rules. Like I said this is the main show." He was smirking.

"There are things that can't be taken as a joke, Laxus!" The master was angry at his grandson.

"Of course, I'm serious. It's just a game, to find out who is the strongest here, in Fairy Tail." He stood away from the girl, a serious but angry look on his face. "The rules are simple. The last survivor wins! The Fairy Tail Fight starts now!"

A table was smashed as Natsu got up. "Isn't this great?! Its way to easy to understand. I'm pumped" Laxus looked amused by Natsu's reaction, the Master wasn't, nor were the other members really.

"Natsu... your arrogant way of talking pisses me off!"

"Natsu.." Gramps was worried about him.

"What festival is this, old man? LETS START!" He charged at Laxus and I heard someone in the crowd shout at him 'D-Did you forget how terrible you were beaten by Laxus?'

"But your lack of attitude pisses me off more. Calm down Natsu." Natsu was about to hit Laxus with his fire covered fist. But Laxus hit him with his lightning that he could materialise from anywhere.

Evergreen waved her fan over her face, "If you want them returned to normal, you'll have to defeat us."

Bixlows possessed dolls started moving in the air, "We have only 4 people on our side, you have almost 100 people. It's not fair for us."

"The time limit is three hours. If you can't defeat us they will turn into sand. The battlefield is the entire Magnolia town. The battle starts when you find us."

I walked towards where the others were. "Laxus!" I watched the members of the guild look to see me. "Want to stop this nonsense, and turn 'em back?"

He laughed, "Nice time to get back, Cora. Now we'll really see who is the strongest."

Makarov, the master, made himself larger, in anger, "Don't mess around!"

Laxus raised his hand as if to say sit down, "I say calm down... Lets enjoy the main show." A flash of light came from the stage, making it too hard to see them. I had to shield my eyes the light was so bright.

They had disappeared. Everyone ran out of the guild shouting all at the same time. You could understand Makarov though, "God I will... God I will stop those bastards!" He was stopped by an invisible wall in which Gray noticed. He tried to help him out but failed. Magic runes appeared in the air. It was one of Freeds restriction spell in which all who enter have to obey its rules in order to pass through it. It read 'No statute or person over the age of 80 may get out.'

Gray left to find those he needed to defeat with the other members. Gramps notices Reedus hiding behind a pillar inside the guild. "Reedus!"

"i-I'm sorry. I'm... scared... of Laxus." He stepped out from where he was standing.

Gramp's sighed, "Do you know Polyushko's house in the north forest?"

"I know."

"She might have a cure for the stone curse. Can you go there for me?"

"Yes I can... If its a job." Natsu woke up yelling. Wondering what happened.

Master pointed towards the door, "The festival has started" Laxus is in this town! Crush him."

Natsu had fire coming out of his mouth, "Gotcha." He raced towards the exit, "Just you wait Laxus". Thud. He hit the wall that had prevented makarov from exiting earlier.

He clearly wasn't a statue, nor over 80 years old. "Hey, Natsus stuck here."

"huh... HEY! When'd you get back?!"

"When you were knocked out."

"Oh." Reedus left to get to Polyushko's house.

"You're back. Maybe you could find and defeat him." I could tell he was worried about what would happen. "Cora, please. You may be the only one able to."

"Okay gramps. Leave it to me." I walked through the barrier that I was worried would stop me from passing through it. If only I knew where to start.

I've been walking around for an hour or so now. Theres not long left 'till there turned to stone. I've been avoiding other members since I found out they were being forced to fight each other in Freeds traps. I just remembered a magic thay would have helped me before. I sighed, slightly disappointed in myself that I didn't remember sooner.

I cleared my head, focusing on Laxus. I closed my eyes, "Soul scene." A vision of Cardia Cathedral came into my mind, followed by Laxus inside the building. I started to head towards the building I had seen. When I was near the Cathedral I noticed Lightening lacrima appear in the sky. Would he try such a bold move? Thunder palace would destroy the whole town.

I opened the doors to see Laxus on the steppes in the opposite side of the cathedral. I moved towards him, stopping in the middle of the room. He looked up at me, smirking. "Took you long enough to get here. I thought you're magic could tell you where someone was."

I sighed lightly half laughing."I forgot the spell 'till about 15 minutes ago." He stood up, his jacket was draped over his shoulders like a cape, his arms folded.

He walked over to me, he stopped a few feet in front of me. "The thunder palace will go off in an hour and no-one can stop it."

"You don't want it to do that Laxus. Innocent people will get hurt. Our nakama too."

"Those weaklings aren't my nakama. I'm going to take over this guild and make it stronger." He held a smug look on his face.

I missed that look on his face. "You're wrong to think they're weak."

"You haven't been here for four years and you think you know them?" He laughed. "Cora, you're no better."

"You don't know how strong my magic is now. I've kept a tab on Fairy Tail. I know how strong some members have become. You're a fool to think otherwise." I stepped closer to him not realising it.

"Haha, you move closer to me when you're magic is long ranged." His smirk grew. "You know I could beat you in one shot."

"I'd like to see you try. Or aren't you finished wasting time so your spell can destroy the city?"

He shifted his position and tried to punch me, I'd obviously hit a nerve. "I didn't want to fight you. But you're pissin' me off." A bolt of his lightening headed towards me. I'd put a good twenty feet between us.

Laughing, I held out my palm in its direction, "Shatter." A wave of pressure came from my hand, it was silvery and white in colour. It struck the opposing wave causing an explosion that caused the windows to shatter and blow outwards. "You can't win."

He rolled his eyes, "I will with this next shot."

"As cocky as ever I see." His smirk disappeared, that really hit a nerve.

"Lightning Dragons Heavenly Hailbred." Hes a dragon slayer? I realised then that he caught me off guard. He noticed this too and his smirk returned. His magic hit its target, sending me crashing through the cathedral door behind me. They were broken, well and truly.

I saw Erza and Natsu looking at me. "I take it you're all back to normal now then." They both looked shocked. "Oh, don't worry I got this fight." I stood myself up walking back into the cathedral, I turned around to look at Erza," Go stop the Thunder Palace from activating."

She nodded and walked off into the streets. "I'm surprised you're still standing. You've got some spunk I give you that."

"So, much for beating me in one hit." I mimicked his voice.

He launched at me, engaging me in melee combat, we kept up with each others attacks. I could tell he was surprised. "You're magic is long ranged! How are you keeping up with him?!" Natsu sounded suprised. To be honest I don't blame him, no ones ever seen me fight like this before.

Laxus jumped backwards, "Dodge this." I was slightly confused, then realised the magic circle above me. Crap.

I won't be able to dodge it. "Spirit Dragons: Shell!" I blurted it out without thinking. Now my secret would be out. They were both surprised.

Natsu pointed at me, dumbstruck. "Yo.. You're a..."

"Shut it Natsu!" I snapped at him. I didn't want him to say it. I noticed another person appear beside him. He had black hair, wore black and also had metal studs on his face, ears and arms. "Whos that next to you?"

"Oh... Its Gajeel." Natsu pat Gajeel's shoulder.

I barely noticed Laxus move around in my blind spot as I turned my head, "You should be paying attention to me! Your opponent!" He punched me in the gut with his lightning infused fist, causing me to lose my breath and pushing me back a few feet.

I lunged at him, "Spirit Dragons Talon." I managed to get him in his gut. I saw Gajeel anime fall as he realised what both Laxus and Natsu had earlier. That I was a dragon slayer.

Levy and Freed appeared. "Stop Laxus Maste... Your Grandpa's sick... Polyushko says he's on his deathbed. Please you have to see him before its too late!"

Laxus was angry, and looked a little shocked. "Looks like my chances of become guildmaster just went up again!" He took on a stance that looked familiar, light, his magic power no doubt, was gathering in his hands. "I'll wipe out all of you with one spell."

"Laxus! No!" I realised what spell he was going to cast.

"Fairy Law!" A light flashed outwards from him. Blinding us in its brightness. Then fading away. "Huh.. I cast it perfectly. Why didn't it work?"

"The spell did work." Freed began. "It saw through what you thought and saw what you really felt. You didn't just inherit your grandfathers power but also his heart."

"No. Weaklings like them aren't my friends." Now he looked pissed off. Natsu and Gajeel launched at Laxus, deciding to take him on together.

"Hey, I was fighting him." I waved both my arms at them.

"We got this." Natsu shot me a quick grin.

"Fine but don't blame me if you lose." I went over to Levy and Freed. "Will you two be alright?"

"We'll be fine. But I'm not sure about them. Are you sure it's wise to let them fight him without your help?"

"They'll be fine. Besides, I'll step in if things look bad, 'kay?" The three of us watched as they fought, Laxus managed to hold the both of them off while also being able to get his own hits in. He had activated his dragon slayer magic.

They were both on the ground now. Seemingly paralyzed by his dragon roar. He's going to kill them if he keeps at it. He was going to attack them again. I Jumped in front of them. Hes laughing. "Protecting them. Thats new. No matter I'll get you in the same attack."

He was going to use his breath again, only I knew he would use a lot more magic power in it. He drew his breath in. Only I did the same, I didn't know if my Spirit dragon shell would hold against it. "Spirit Dragons: Roar!"

"Lightning Dragons: Roar!" Levy and Freed were stunned.

The two magics hit each other. Only my magic seemed to make Laxus' vanish. It hit him. He hit the wall with a loud 'thud' and fell to the floor. The wall behind him collapsed. He was out to it.

"What was that?" I heard from behind me. It was freed.

"Ah nothing." A pulled a smile as big as I could manage. "Tell anyone... Anyone, and I will hurt you."

"Ehh..." They all looked scared. I did just do that to Laxus after all. "The Thunder Palace is gone. Lets head back to the guild to get patched up." Levy stated and helped Gajeel up, I helped Natsu.

~Some Hours Later~

Natsu, Gajeel and a few others were covered in bandages. I was sitting at a table away from Gajeel, Natsu and Levy. Not wanting to talk about my slayer magic. Laxus walked through the doors. Everyone was looking at him. "Wheres Gramps?"

Everyone started arguing, they didn't want to tell him, I sighed. He was covered In bandages too. Mira' walked up to him, "Hes in the infirmary."

He proceeded to walk there when Natsu got in his way, pointing at him making strange 'mhh.. hmmm. hmmm." Noises. His mouth was bandaged over.

About ten minutes later he left. We found out he was kicked out of the guild. After he left the Raijinshuu, his 'bodyguards', told us.

After the parade most of us headed back to the guild to relax after what had happened earlier that day. I noticed Gajeel and Natsu were now at the table with me. Both staring at me intently. "Gonna start explainin' Girlie?" I heard the same muffled noises from before from Natsu, still unable to understand what he was saying. "Natsu said 'Yeah, tell us!' "

"Ugh... You already know. Theres nothing else to explain." I was slouched over the table.

"You're dragon? Do you know where it is or where ours are?" He was getting in my face, it was annoying.

"I don't like people prying but no, I don't. It disappeared in X777 the same day as yours." I stood up. "See-ya." I waved my hand half heartedly at them. I wonder if my landlord kept my place tidy. Gajeel said something but I ignored it. Heading off towards my apartment.

It took about five minutes to get to my apartment. But I took an alternate route to make sure no one followed me there. I was walking fast as well which doesn't exactly help anyone if they did try to.

I walked in flicked the lights on. "Oh its clean." I said quietly to myself. I had a nice warm shower and got ready for my bed that I'd missed so much on my quest. I wore a singlet with spaghetti straps and boxer shorts.

I flicked the lights off and went to my room. I needed sleep. Weeks of travel with no rest, coupled with a fight, after no rest, happened to be tiring. So it was nice to be able to hop into my king sized double bed. I huddled up to the warm spot in my bed... Wait warm.

I moved my arm around and found a face. I thought no one knew where I lived? I proceeded to try and drag whoever it was out of the bed. However it didn't work. It resisted and grunted. I turned the lamp on that was on the bedside table. It was Laxus, "Turn it off I'm tryna sleep."

"GET OUT OF MY BED! GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT!" I hissed, pointing to the door.

"Don't get angry, I'll be gone in the morning." His eyelids were half open, he sounded sleepy.

"Laxus get out." I was ordering him around. But I knew he wouldn't listen.

"I told you I was leaving in the morning. So... I'll leave in the morning..." He pulled the blankets closer to his face to shield his eyes from the light as he closed them.

"At least take the couch!" I was still pointing at the door. Then I realised his stuff was on the couch, but he could move it. His jacket was hanging over a chair.

"You take the couch if its so comfy. I'm right here." I whimpered realising he wouldn't budge.

"Its too cold for the couch so you should take it." He moved over as if to say 'get in', I glared at him.

"I won't try anything." I didn't exactly believe him but It beat the couch. I turned the lamp off and hopped in. Staying on my side. "Cora, remember when we use to gon on jobs together."

"So much for sleep, Yeah. Now sleep. I'm sorry too." He grunted in response, good to know he wanted to sleep.

I woke up feeling really warm. I also felt an arm over me. "Get off me." I slapped the arm off, hopping out of the bed quickly. I was sill annoyed about what he done yesterday, even though master had punished him for it.

I realised he was on the side I was sleeping on, "Its not what you think..." I shot him a glare. "You were shivering." I had to admit it was a rather cold night for what time of year it was. I felt my cheeks flush. He laughed, smiling at me.
