Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail
AN: Sorry for the late update. I'm not dead yet but I was too busy with work last week. I went to a business trip and I have been working non stop since. Since I'm back I check out the views and reviews on my other stories. Well, thank you all for all the constructive reviews and comments! I know I should work more on my future *ahem* lemon fanfics if I will ever write more. Okay, enough of my ramblings, and please enjoy this chapter.
Lucy's POV
We all rush to the infirmary and Erza is still unconscious. Wendy starts to sob and tries to explain the situation, "I tried my best to heal her but something is wrong. Her life force is depleting too quickly."
Leafy examines Erza and she nods at Wendy, "I know what happened. She got hit by the same type of magic that I used. But instead of just sucking out her magic powers, her own life force is being sucked out as well. And this is a much stronger one." Then she stands straight and reassures us, "Don't worry, I can dispel it. Just give me a few minutes."
She starts to rewrite the magic circle planted on Erza. I look at Natsu worriedly and he grins, "Don't worry Luce. Erza's strong. She will be fine. And Leafy told us she can dispel it."
Mira comes in and confirms with us that all the other members are all right. I sigh in relief and just stare at Leafy blankly while she is rewriting the spell.
"Okay, done." She make way for us and we all crowded around Erza. I sit down on the chair beside her and grab her hand, "Erza, please be okay." Just then, she opens her eyes and blinks.
"Erza, you make us worried sick for a few minutes!"
"Erza, I'm so glad you are okay!"
"Everyone?" She sits up and looks around our relieved faces. Then she smiles in reply, "Thank you everyone. Thanks for saving me again."
"We are nakama. Of course we will help each other."
"Aye!"
"We got trouble!" Warren barges in and we all look at him with puzzling looks. He clears his throat and says, "The attack just now was a distraction! We got thousands of air ship heading to us right now!"
"What? Right now?"
"How will we have enough time to react?"
"Air ship? I can't believe they are coming by air!"
"What should we do?"
"Stop!" Mira shouts and we all stop what we were doing. Then she continues, "Calm down, we should head out and do whatever we can."
"We will divide into groups and act. Now, we need a frontal assault and a ranged assault. Even the sneak assault." I hope that everything will go as planned.
Leafy's POV
I'm part of the sneak assault team, where we divide among ourselves to smaller groups to make sure our sneak attack on the main fleet of the airships to ensure our sneak attack successful.
Lucy, Levy and I hide in the nearby bushes where the First instructed us to. Once the ranged assault shoots at least half of the fleet and the frontal assault done their role in distracting the enemy forces onto them, then we will start our attack.
"I feel uneasy about this."
"But the First's predictions are always spot on!"
"Levy's right, but we have to keep in mind that we are dealing with the whole Alveraz empire, where even one of them has the power of God Serena, one of the 10 saints."
The airships are approaching and starts to fire around the town. Luckily, the town is long deserted due to us evacuating them last week. A large magic beam appears and shoots down a few of the enemy, that must be Bisca and Alzack of the ranged assault. Then lightning struck down a lot of them, and that must be Laxus's doing.
"Yosh, let's go, I'm fired up!" Natsu shouts and flew off with Happy carrying him to the largest airship of the fleet, and my guess is that is the airship containing the commander of this attack. Not long after him, Gajeel with Lily, Wendy with Carla, Ever, Erza follows him to start their attack.
It feels an eternity waiting, but in reality just a few minutes went by. The largest airship starts to shake violently. I guess they got what they deserved by trying to counter against the frontal assault team.
"That's our cue, get ready, Lucy, Levy!"
They nod with a determined look on their faces. I cast my spell and a large beanstalk grows underneath us, as it grows more, it will be long and high enough to reach the largest airship.
"Woah, it's shaking a lot!"
"Hold on tight, it will grow very fast!"
In no time, we reach the target airship and land inside it. We search around and knock down some of the soldiers inside. We then heard lots of shoutings and fighting from one of the rooms nearby.
"That should be the control room, where the frontal assault team is fighting."
"This is our chance to find the power source of this thing, and if we are lucky, we can take control of the other airships."
"I thought normally the power source will be at the control room?"
"The First predicted that it should be in another separate room. Don't ask me though, even I feel strange."
We run through a series of long winding corridors, reaching a space where it's much darker than other parts of the ship. My guess is we are approaching the power source, even the security around is tighter than usual. Then I can feel something very unusual and before I can react, Lucy shouts at me, "Leafy! No!"
What was that? What does she mean by shouting like that? Before I can open my mouth to reply her, my whole world goes dark.
Lucy's POV
I can't believe this!
I mean, we are right inside the enemy airship, so it must be pretty predictable that there will be some kind of magical traps set around to prevent intruders, right? Still, the sight in front of me will definitely gives me nightmare for years.
Leafy, becomes ashes in an instant, after a magic circle activated right in front of her, which she obviously didn't realize it.
"No, no, no!" Levy starts to sob and looks at me with her tears running freely, "Lu-chan, Lu-chan! Leafy just turned into ashes just like that! Not even a proper body!"
"Wahl Icht here, to put judgement on you all fairies!" An odd looking guy with long arms appears and laughs at Leafy's remains, "Oh, I thought I just channel a bit of my magic. So fast becoming ashes?"
"You, you will pay for this!" Levy writes out fire and shoots at him but he just counter it with his hands, "A little fire won't scratch me, you know. Maybe you should do something about giving more power."
I immediately equip to my star dress, taurus form. Then I swing my whip at his arms to restrain him. He easily avoids and shoots a magic beam at me. Levy writes a wall and a wall appears right in front of me, shattered to pieces once his magic touch it.
"I really want to play some more games with you all, but I guess I should make haste since our emperor might not be happy if I drag this battle too long."
"Receive judgement from me, and die!"
AN: That's all for this chapter. Hope you all like it.
