Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
"Wait! Our teams are uneven!" Gray calls.
"Well you have Laxus, Mirajane, and Erza! That is plenty of strength to make up for another person," Natsu yells back. Gray grumbles and falls silent.
"Now for rules," Erza begins. Everyone sits up straighter and listens. "The city of Magnolia is our battlefield. However, the townspeople will not be a fan of the Fairy Tail guild if we destroy their homes. Try with all your power to not destroy buildings." Erza pauses to glare at Natsu, who can't go ten steps without destroying something. "Next rule, no switching teams no matter what. That also means no injuring members on your own team. You may however, surrender, where you will be properly dealt with by the other team. Last rule, the most important one, no seriously injuring. These people are still your family at heart." Erza walks towards the door. "Well, let's get this started!" Everyone cheers and follows their team captain to their starting point.
When they arrive, they are at opposite sides of the town. Erza sends up a flaming sword. The signal to start. Natsu is too impatient to plan with his team. He simply runs off towards Erza's team.
"Gajeel, you go first and take out anyone you can. The rest of us, avoid fighting as much as possible. Knowing Natsu, he's probably almost here," Erza says to her team. They finish planning and run to where Erza told them to right as Natsu comes in from above. Natsu lands on the ground and looks around, confused.
"Huh. They must have left already."
"I'm right here dummy!" Gajeel yells.
"Did your team leave you or something?" Natsu asks. Gajeel sighs.
"Iron dragon roar!" Gajeel yells, taking Natsu by surprise. Natsu is knocked to the ground.
"Wow, have you been training? Your magic is way stronger than usual. Gajeel groans and throws another attack. Natsu narrowly dodges and sends another blast of magic back at Gajeel.
"I'd love to fight more, but frankly I don't have the time," Natsu calls. He sends down one final attack down at the figure of Gajeel on the ground, then runs off. Gajeel would have cursed Natsu, and sent another attack. He would have, if he could go anywhere. When Natsu's last attack hit him, he took his last breath and smiled.
Natsu wiped a few tears from his eyes. What have I done? He thought to himself. Natsu remembered the last words Gajeel had uttered, then moved on. He could smell her. Kinana. Natsu ran after her scent. He saw her in the distance. Dropping low against a building, he came up behind her and sent an attack. Natsu watched as her hand fell out of the hand of a shocked Wakaba. Natsu sent another attack and Wakaba dropped as well. He looked down at the tears on Kinana's cheeks. Then walked on after another scent.
Mirajane comes to tears as she realizes what just happened. She looks over at the three bodies in front of her. Levy, Bickslow, and Happy. She crouches down next to Happy, and strokes his head.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
