I Have The Dragon Force Chapter 3: Friends Till The End

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

Wendy's POV

I failed, I failed to stop Face from activating and in a few minutes all the magic of Fiore would be lost forever and Tartarus would take over. I lay helpless and exhausted on the cave floor watching as the timer countdown until Face's final activation. "I didn't make it." The only thing I could do was weep at my own failure and hope that everyone could forgive me for it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"We can still do something." I heard Carla's voice over my own.

"Eh?"

"Face is absorbing a lot of eternano." Carla said raising to her feet. "If we can transform that energy into something else... It will create an autodestruction magic circle and Face will explode." My exceed companion explained as she was making her way over to where Face once stood.

"How do you know that?" I asked shocked.

"The future, my prediction." She replied reminding me of her ability to predict possible outcome of the future. "I predicted... No I looked for a future where Face wasn't activated." Carla continued on to Face. "Among the various existing futures I could find one where it was not activated."

"Amazing." A small smile spread across my face as Carla's word restored my hope.

"I think in the future I activated a magic circle like this." Carla now stood at the magic circle of Face.

"Carla... you're great." I said the first thing that came to my mind to thank Carla.

"I inserted the letters like this." I watched as Carla moved the letters of the magic circle around creating a new one.

"Now we can." I was cut of by Carla's response.

"This is it."

"Eh?"

"There's nothing more in the future, it's blank." Carla said sadly.

I couldn't understand Carla's had never ended with just a blank. "What do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong if I press this letter Face will stop." I still didn't understand if Face was going to be stop what had Carla so worried. "Then!" Carla let out a sigh. "It will explode." She still had not said why the future was blank. "In other word... We won't survive either." Carla said solemnly.

Carla's word struck me with the grim reality. The timer had now reached the two minute mark. "I think we can survive even without magic like Edolas."

"No everyone is fighting now... If they suddenly lose magic They'll."

"That's right." Carla said stopping me. "Wendy... I cannot predict the size of the explosion. Run as far away as possible. "I'll handle things here."

"What are you saying!?" She couldn't possibly be thinking of sacrificing herself to stop Face. "You can't Carla!" I scream.

"Please live Wendy." Carla told me never turning from the magic circle.

"No! I can't leave you alone!" I shouted as I used what little strength I had to crawled her.

"Run away. Or I can't make it explode!" Carla screeched at me in the hopes I would leave.

"NO! WE MUST STAY TOGETHER!" Carla finally turned from the circle looking at me in shock. "We must."

"Wendy." I could see tears beginning to form in her eyes. "I have no power left to fly... I can't run away."

"I know.. I can't move... anymore either.. I can't go far away." I told her the truth of the matter that I couldn't have run. I use the last of my strength to push myself further and finally reached Carla and threw my arms around her. "I'm not going anywhere." I said softly. Our adventure ends here." Tears began to spill from my eyes. "But I had fun. Because you were always with me." I let a smile return to my face.

"Yes." Was Carla only replied as she hugged me back and let her tears flow as freely as mine.

We spread apart and looked to Face's controls. "We have to push this right?"

"Yes."

"Lets do it together." I suggested.

"We've always been together after all." Carla agreed and We looked to one another with tears in our eyes and smile on our faces. In that moment I didn't think about the fear of death instead I thought of my life with Carla. Seeing her hatch from her egg the time we spent in Cait Shelter. The time we fought with each other, the times we cried with each other. Joining Fairy Tail, all the time we had spent together. Finally we pressed the button.

I looked back to Carla for one last time. "Become my friend again."

Carla looked back to me. "Of course."

I took Carla into my arms as I felt Face start to react. This would be our last moment I wanted to make sure that no matter what we would stay together. I held her tighter as it finally began the power from Face was about to be released. Just as I expected to meet my end I felt a pair of arms surround me before everything went dark.

I never expected to awaken from this darkness. I thought this was my end but I was proven wrong when I awoke to the sound of a mans voice. "I never thought such little heroes could destroy face." My eyes opened and I found my sight slightly blurred but the image I saw and the feeling of soft fur in my arms let me know that Carla was with me. It was then that the realization had come to me that we had been saved and face had been destroyed.

had I not spilled so many tears already and I had enough strength I would have burst into tears but all I could do was smile lightly and pull Carla closer to me. I finally felt relief, Face had been stopped and Fairy Tail now had the edge they needed to defeat the demons of Tartarus and Carla and I were alive. I closed my eyes let sleep take me into its embrace holding Carla to me knowing no matter what we would always be together.
