Chapter 7

Laxus dodged attack after attack, desperately trying to land an hit on Tempester. Jura and Gray kept attempting to hit him as well, but the demon only had eyes for the dragon slayer.

"Stop dodging." Tempester growled as Laxus avoided another blast of air.

"Then stop fighting." Laxus said. He launched a bolt of lighting towards him, which got blocked by Tempester's own lighting.

"You can't stop a natural disaster." Tempester challenged, raising his fist.

"But you can slow it down!" Gray yelled. "Ice-Make Floor!" He slammed his hands into the ground, causing the cave floor to turn into ice. Tempester lost his balance, giving Laxus and Jura enough time to strike.

"Lighting Dragon Roar!" Laxus bellowed.

"Rock Avalanche!" Jura cried. A mixture of lighting and rock hurled towards the unbalanced demon. A massive explosion erupted in the cave, causing large stones to crumbled from the ceiling. Gray gave an victory cry, but Laxus was still weary. And he had an right to be so. As the smoke cleared, Tempester was gone.

"What happened?" Jura asked. A cool laugh echoed throughout the cave.

"You missed…" Suddenly, Gray was on the floor in pain, an gash in his side.

"Gray!" Laxus shouted, just to be knocked onto the floor.

"Over here…" Jura span round to find two new figures next to Tempester. He recognised one as Racer, the other was unknown to him. He had dark blonde hair which covered his left eye, while hair stood up to look like ears. He had an large furry tail and his arms were covered in black marks. He wore an green tank top and an brown and yellow bandana around his neck. He was squatting down, hands over his baggy pants. He grinned.

"Oh, so this is Jura." Jackal said happily. He raised an finger and pointed towards the wizard saint. "Boom." An explosion surrounded Jura.

"Jura." Gray grinded out. Luckily, Jura managed to surround his body with rocks, shielding him from the explosion.

"Guys?" Another voice called. Cana ran into the cave with the purple orb in her hands. "I got the thing. Huh?" She was met by Racer, who crossed the cave in half an second. Jumping back, she launched out an card, causing an wave of water to hit him. Gray shot a blast of ice into the water, making it, and Racer, freeze solid.

"Whoosh." Wind swirled around the cave, blowing Team 3 against an wall. Tempester stood with his arms out, anger in his eyes. "Enough."

"Ice-Make Wall!" Gray yelled. He blocked his team from the raging wind. Cana launched card after card towards the remaining two.

"Jura, dig an hole behind Tempester." Laxus instructed. Jura nodded and did so. Laxus jumped in and vanished.

"Boom." The wall of the cave exploded behind the team, causing the snow storm outside to come in. Jackal grinned at seeing Team 3 laying on the ground, coughing and exhausted. All but one.

"Where's the last one?" He asked. He didn't have to wait long. Laxus sprung from the hole Jura created, shocking the two.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art!" Laxus yelled. "Roaring Thunder!" Laxus' fist made contact with Jackal's head. He carried through the punch, sending Jackal into Tempester, both of whom cried out in pain. Laxus wasn't done. "Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist." A huge fist made entirely out of lightning shot from Laxus' own fist towards the demons. Making contact, an explosion rippled throughout the cave, sending the enemies outside and off the mountain.

"Pathetic." Laxus grunted. He quickly turned to his team, just to find them picking themselves up.

"Impressive." Jura stated. "I see how you managed to beat me in the Grand Magic Games."

"Everyone ok?" Gray asked.

"Yeah, think so." Cana groaned.

"Cana, the orb?" Laxus questioned.

"Oh yeah, this thing." Cana picked the orb up off the floor. "Dunno what it is, but I got it from that weird girl."

"Where is she?"

"Unconscious in the back of the cave." Cana grinned.

"Let's head back to the council." Gray sighed.


"Idiots!" Cobra snapped. He could hear the cries of Jackal and Tempester as they fell off the mountain. "How hard is it to get a damn orb?"

"They were against two of the strongest mages in the Alliance." Seilah muttered.

"Still, Racer went to help." Midnight said. "What happened to him and that annoying girl?" He asked Cobra.

"Racer is in an block off ice and the annoyance is unconcious." Cobra grinded out. "The Fiore Alliance is taking the orb back to the council."

"Understood." Midnight said. "Now we must-" He stopped dead as footsteps were heard. "Who is that?"

"Me." A woman's voice rang out. A woman was standing at the entrance to the cave. She was in an skin tight purple suit that showed off her thighs, and had striped jacket that covered her shoulders and arms. Her hands were sharp and scaly, like talons.

"Good to see you Kyoka." Midnight grinned while Cobra let out an whistle.

"Same to you." Kyoka returned the smile. "I have brought guests." Kyoka stood aside to let 5 people in. One was an tall man with long grey hair and an eyepatch. Next was a man with an hooked nose and long, dark hair in an ponytail. There was a man with silver, messy hair and an small beard. He was wearing a dark pair of glasses. Next was an guy with long, spiky yellow hair that reached down to his lower back, as well as an insane grin on his face. Finally was an tall, dark skinned man with brown hair jutting out.

"Ah, Grimoire Heart." Midnight said gleefully. "Now we can active the next step."

"What's the plan?" Grimoire Heart's Leader, Master Hades, asked.


The Fiore Alliance watched as Makarov paced around the council hall. Each were waiting patiently for Wendy and Sherria to announce that Elfman would be alright. However, Evergreen couldn't keep still.

"Be calm Evergreen, he'll be ok." Freed said soothingly.

"What if he's not? He took that blast full on." The woman whimpered.

"Elfman is strong, he'll be ok." Mira said with a smile. Evergreen returned it, but was still nervous.

"What's the plan master?" Erza asked.

"We wait until Team 3 gets back." He simply replied. The Alliance just nodded silently. Minutes went by, then hours. Each thinking the same horrible thing, yet no one said anything. They just waited. And waited. And waited…

"I hear them!" Natsu shouted as he stood up. The Alliance instantly stood up as Natsu left the hall.

"Thank goodness." Makarov sighed. They heard Natsu's cry of happiness from the hall. The pinkette ran back into the hall, carrying three bags.

"Finally, I ordered these hot wings a while ago." Natsu grinned as he pulled a box from the bag. The Alliance stood shocked as the dragon slayer began to munch down on the wings he ordered.

"You. Ordered. Food?" The master asked slowly.

"Yeah. Also Team 3 is here." Natsu added. This time, Team 3 actually did enter through the doors. Bruised and battered, they still smiled as cheers erupted from everyone. Juvia tackle Gray into a back breaking hug, which he returned, while the Thunder Legion surrounded Laxus.

"Thank Mavis you're all ok." Makarov said. "Cana, what's that?"

"Some sorta orb." She answered. "Anyone got any booze?"

"They're like the other orbs!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's the Poison Orb. Cobra's one." Natsu said through an mouthful of chicken.

"What next Master?" Romeo asked, also with an mouthful of chicken.

"Hmmmm. What should we do Yajima?" The old man asked.

"I say we see what the Balam Alliance does next." He stated. "For now, everyone rest up."
