Erza was out in the town square, her Heaven's Wheel's armor requiped, she was summoning swords, hundreds of them one by one, anything she had she used. "I call upon the power thy lies within my swords, give me strength, help me protect my dear city and my beloved guild. My comrades in Fairy Tail lend me your strength as well"
Halfway across town a weak and bruised Gray lay on the ground, he heard her plea for strength, he pulled himself to his feet "If Erza is asking for help, it must be serious. We got to do something, but what?" Gray stood and thought for a while, he gazed upon a nearby tower that had a large view of Magnolia "I know, if I can find a way for everybody to hear her, then we can band together to lend her a hand" Gray held his side and stumbled as pain washed over him, he held onto the nearby wall for strength
"but I'm going to need Waren's telepathy to pull that off" Gray began to stumble to the streets. Lucy, I hope you're not caught up in all of this.
~At Magnolia Cathedral~
"Regulus: Light of the Lion," The celestial spirit said as a light surrounded Laxus, he dodged quickly and fought back with his lightning. The two magic collided creating a large mass of smoke. Loke slides back out of the smoke from the power of Laxus' lightning punch
"Don't you see what has happened to our guild, Loke," Laxus said
"What?" Loke said
"Thanks to the old geezer, Fairy Tail is nothing but a joke, can't even protect our own members" Laxus yelled as he created a great ball of lightning in his hands, it sparked yellow in lightning, small sparks grew wild around him making Leo flinch back, Laxus fired his lightning towards him. The spirit dodged before it could hit him.
"All I'm trying to do is make things right" Laxus yelled as he continuously strikes his magic down on the spirit, he dodges with amazing skill. "When I become Master, my name will strike fear into people's hearts, I will finally be able to protect Lucy from all harm" Laxus yelled his eyes going frantic with power as he finally landed a strike on Loke. The magic power hits him hard and he is sent flying into a nearby column, he falls to the floor with a grunt
Laxus laughs in mockery, Loke looks up at him with anger
This is no way to protect Lucy
Lucy felt her eyes flutter open to see she was in her apartment. Maybe it was all a dream she thought, but when she tried to sit up her limbs screamed in pain and she fell to back onto the bed. She couldn't remember what had happened, she was about to fight Laxus, but she blacked out. Maybe she blacked out from the pain. Wait, so what happened then, Did he take down the Lacroma? Who brought me here? What happened to Erza? A rustling beside her warned her she wasn't alone. She slowly turned her head to she an expressionless Virgo. Wait, Virgo?
"Miss Lucy, you are awake," Virgo said, even though you could not tell with her expression she had relief and worry in her eyes, she began to fill Lucy in on the current situation
Gray walked through the crowd in the town square, clutching his side in pain
"Hey, Warren Rocko, I could use your help right now" Gray yelled into the crowd
"There's only one minute, thirty seconds until the Thunder Palace is activated, what the heck are you waiting for old man?" Laxus said, "Are you really gonna stand back and watch all those people die?"
"Laxus, you probably haven't heard," Loke said looking down
"Heard what?" Laxus said confused
"The master, he had-," Loke said not sure how to say it "He had a heart attack, he's in the infirmary"
Laxus seemed to pause for a moment before laughing "Ahh, so the old man will probably die to a heart attack, typical. Well the sooner he dies the faster the guild gets handed over to me"
"What?" Loke said in shock "Do you not care at all, he can't hand over the guild, you know it's never going to happen, you can blow up the town, but you're still not getting Fairy Tail, you're just upset that you can't back out of it now, and Lucy will hate you forever"
Laxus seemed to grow his rage larger than before
"The town is going to be fine because Erza is taking your spell down" Loke said cockily that he figured out Laxus' weaknesses even if Lucy was one of then he had to use them "It's not so easy protecting people when you use violence, is it Laxus" Loke said as he charged at Laxus, a glowing light in his hand. Lightning sparked out of Laxus in his rage
"Shut up, what the hell do you know" Laxus yelled as his fist sparked in lightning, he aimed back ready to punch
"Hey Warren" Gray yelled through the crowd "Where is he" he whispered to himself "Damn"
Erza summoned another hundred swords aimed towards the Lacroma. Erza was huffing for breath as magic energy flowed out of her in waves, sweat dripped down her brow as she continued to summon more swords
"One-hundred," Erza said in a tired and rough voice, she was getting weaker and weaker with every sword "It's not enough" Erza raspy voice cried
Erza screamed in agony as summoned more and more swords
"That's one hundred ninety-eight," Erza said exhausted "one hundred ninety-nine," Erza said clenching her fists, Erza summoned another sword breathing heavily "There's certainly not enough to destroy them all at once," Erza said tiredly falling to her knees in agony. I'm running low on magic energy, and I'm almost out of time. What should I do?
"Less than a minute thirty seconds until the thunder palace is activated, your two late little Lion" Laxus said clenching his fist
"We'll see about that, Lightning Freak," Loke said back as he charged towards him, he went to punch him, but Laxus easily caught it in his fist
"You doubt me?" Laxus screamed in fury, Laxus charged his fist in lightning and punched Loke in the face sending him flying across the cathedral hall, he landed in a puff of smoke. Laxus laughed his fist still sparking in lightning, he glared at Loke who sat in a pile of debris on the concrete fall, Loke glared back at him
The guild wizards of Fairy Tail lay hurt and injured all around Magnolia, piles of debris around them, their magic items lying next to them.
Ezra looked down at the ground, she still needed to summon at least another one-hundred swords, but she did have the magical energy to do so.
'Hey Fairy Tailers, can you hear me' A voice like Warrens said to her. That is warren, 'Things aren't looking so good for us, check out what's floating in the sky'
"He's using his telepathy," Erza said to herself
'We are going to have to pull together, so get off your butts and lend us a hand' Warren said before continuing 'If any of you are still fighting, give it a rest for a second. Now listen carefully, those Lacroma up there are a part of a spell called the Thunder Palace, Laxus is using it to threaten the entire town, so we have to take it out before he can set it off. We don't have much time, so we have to work together'
'Man he's got issues' a man's voice said
'But why, why would he do this' a small voice said
"Wait how did you find out about the Thunder Palace, Warren," Erza asked
'I've never been happier to hear you're voice, I was worried about you' Gray's voice said
"Gray. I see so you're the one who told him" Erza said
'Yeah, would have happened sooner but I had to track the guy down' Gray said
'Was that Erza, you mean she's not petrified anymore' a voice said
'wait, if she's back to normal, then...' Droy trailed off
'what about the other girls, how is Levy' Jet said finishing his sentence
'There is no need to worry boys, all the ladies are fine' Cana said proudly
'even Juvia is back on her feet' Elfman said
'Yeah and so is Biska, hear that Alzack' Mira-Jane said sweetly
'That's good to hear' a weak voice of Alzack responded 'I was worried, I thought she was a goner'
'There's one problem, my telepathy can't reach all the way to the guild hall, so we have to make do with the people who can hear me, if we work together we can do this-' Warren was cut off by a voice
'Hold it right there Warren, why should I do what you say after what you did to me' Max said
'Oh ah, Max. Hey I'm sorry about that, that- ah I swear it wasn't anything personal, I was just desperate to save the girls' Warren said stumbling, this wasn't going well
'I got a bone to pick with you Alzack, can you hear me' A voice said
'Yeah I can hear you' Alzack replied weakly 'i'm sorry about before'
'Sorry ain't gonna cut it you coward, you shot me when I wasn't looking' the voice said
The place blew up into yelling and fighting with each other, it was giving everyone a headache, Gray was getting angry
'Will you idiots quit yelling at each other' Gray yelled into Warren's ear
'Shut up, try to understand Gray' The guild yelled back, Gray pulled on Warren's ear making him cry from pain
'We don't have time to be goofing off, we have to hurry and take down those Lacroma' Gray yelled, but the guild continued to shout and scream insults at each other until a familiar voice yelled out
'Shut up' Lucy said into the telepathy, everyone gasped, it was Lucy 'we shouldn't be wasting our time arguing, the citizens of magnolia are in danger and we are the only ones that can help them, so we are going to have to work together, look I know things have been rough with all of us fighting against each other, but I have seen first hand what Laxus has been doing and I don't know what he is thinking right now, but I know he is going to activate the thunder palace. I know we can do anything if we pull together, that's what you guys have taught me, I know that I'm still fairly new to Fairy Tail and you guys may not like me, but I promise you, I loved being a part of this guild, just as much as I've known you guys have. I had always dreamed of joining Fairy Tail some day, that is what I had wanted more than anything in this world, after I had joined it- it meant so much to me, if you feel the same way, work as a guild and save our town'
"Lucy," Erza said quietly "We are so sorry"
'Save it till later, we need to focus' Lucy said tears in her eyes 'If none of you guys are up for the challenge, then I'll do this alone, I'll destroy Laxus' Lacroma myself'
Everyone was shocked that was for sure, Lucy was probably really hurt yet she would still destroy one of them. We had caused so much pain yet she was willing to help, she truly was the strongest one here, she was stronger than all of us combined. We had hurt Lucy yet she still smiled and she carried on, that's true strength. Yet she probably truly hates us, we have to make it up to her
Everyone smirked a true smile in Lucy's bravery.
'What's it gonna be guys, you heard to lady you gonna let her show you up like that' Cana said proudly
'She may not have been a member for as long as some of us but more Fairy Tail pride then all of us put together' a voice said
'Right we got to save the town, we can work out our other problems later' a voice said
'Geez, now we got to agree to help now or else we will look bad, ahh' Wakaba said
'You did good Lucy, we got everyone to cool their jets' The voice said to Lucy 'All right guys, are you ready to do this'
'Thank you' Lucy said tears falling down her cheeks
'Thank you Lucy' Erza whispered to herself, The conversation grew into cheerfulness and team spirit as they talked battle plans
"Right let's do this," Lucy said wiping her tears away
"But Miss Lucy, you are injured to a major extent, you could seriously be putting your life at danger if you attack one of the Lacroma" Virgo said from beside Lucy on the rooftop of her apartment
"I can do this Virgo, I am a lot stronger than I used to be," Lucy said "I have always imagined being a part of Fairy Tail and I enjoyed the time I spent there and now I need to save Magnolia before its to late and try to get Laxus back to normal" Lucy said determined
"Spent? Past tense, Miss Lucy" Virgo said looking at her master
"Yes, I believe so" Lucy said "Now lets go" Lucy looked at Virgo who nodded at the celestial spirit, Lucy pulled out her whip as Virgo readied her magic preparing to launch her towards one of the dangerous Lacroma

I do not own Fairy Tail if I did, I would make Lucy a lot stronger than she is portrayed (Edited)
