Chapter 9
We're Looking Your way!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and ideas
"Hey Fairy Tailer's, can you hear me?" Frea widened her eyes as the voice appeared in her head, is that... Warren? "Things aren't looking to good for us, look at what's floating in the sky. We're gonna have to pull together so get off your butts and lend us a hand! If any of you are still fighting just give it a rest for a second, now listen carefully, those Lacrima up there are 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!" Warren said.
"Wait, how did you know about the Thunder Palace Warren?" That was Erza's voice now.
"Man, I've never been happier to hear the sound of your voice." That sounded like Grey.
"I see, your the one that told him." Erza replied.
"Yeah, but it would have happened sooner, but I had to track the guy down." Grey explained.
"Wait, is that Erza's voice I hear?"
"Does that mean she's not petrified anymore?"
"Wait, if that's true then how are the other girls?" That sounded like Droy.
"How's Levy?" Jet demanded.
"There's no need to worry boys, all the ladies are fine." That sounded like Cana.
"There's a problem, my telepathy cant reach all the way to the guild hall, so we'll have to make due with the people out here." Warren continued,
"Hold it!" Frea narrowed her eyes, the rest of the Guild had started arguing with each other about their fights, and the noise was getting louder.
"Shut UP!" That was Lucy's voice, the rest of the guild went silent. "We shouldn't be wasting our time arguing like this, instead we should be focusing on taking down those Lacrima. Look I know everything's been rough with all of us fighting against each other, but we can do anything if we pull together! That's what you guys have taught me, I know I'm still fairly new to Fairy Tail... but I promise you I love being part of this guild, just as much as the rest of you. All I ever wanted was to join Fairy Tail, now that I joined... it... it means everything to me. If you feel the same way.. Lets work as a Guild and save our town!" Lucy shouted, Frea smiled a little,
"But if none of you are up to the challenge, I'll do this alone! I'll destroy those things myself!"
"What's it gonna be guys? You gonna let a newbie show you up like that?" Cana asked.
"She may not have been a member as long as us, but she's got more Fairy Tail pride then all of us put together!"
"Right, we gotta save the town, we can work out our other problems later."
"You done good Lucy, you got everyone to cool their jets." Macao praised her. "All right guys, you ready to do this?!"
"I'll take the two hundred to the north, everybody else you take the rest! We can do this!" Erza told them.
"Great! I've got the next one hundred to the east you guys!" Frea called, she turned to the sky and lifted her hands. Her silver energy wrapped around and a huge Magic Circle appeared above the one hundred Lacrima in front of her. This is gonna hurt... "OK! Magic Circle: Explosive Rain!" one hundred compact energy bombs poured out of the Magic Circle and hit the targets, destroying them as the rest of the Lacrima in the town were destroyed by the rest of the members of Fairy Tail.
Frea braced herself as small flickers of Lightning started to hover around her, suddenly she was hit by an enormous amount of Lightning and fell onto the ground. Ow... oww... Damn it Laxus... I really do hate you sometimes...
"Is everyone ok? I cant believe all of you, how could you do something so reckless?" Erza said quietly.
"We should probably be asking you the same thing.." Grey murmured.
"Hehe... We really do make a great Guild don't we?" Erza murmured.
"We'd be a lot better if Laxus would outgrow his rebellious stage..." Macao muttered.
"Hey Frea? Are you ok?" Frea opened her eyes as she heard Erza speak to her.
"Sure I am, you know me... Takes more than some stupid trick of Laxus' to take me down..." Frea muttered and chuckled a bit, wincing in the process.
"What possessed you to take down one hundred of those things?" That sounded like Macao.
"Try being stuck in the Guild Hall for more than half of this Festival because of Fried's runes... I had Magic Energy to spare..." She replied. I said I would do whatever it took to help... She glanced in the direction where she guessed that Laxus was, We're counting on you Natsu...
Frea sat up and forced herself to her feet, leaning up against the wall of a building for support for a few moments and walking out into the deserted street she was on. A great beam of golden light cast from the roof of the cathedral and spread out around the entire town, Frea widened her eyes.
"No way... don't tell me Laxus actually figured out how to cast Fairy Law?" She muttered, and the wave passed over her. But when the spell passed, she was still there. Frea closed her eyes and sighed softly, Deep down Laxus... you've never seen anyone in the Guild as your true enemies...
Frea lifted her hands above her head in a stretch, the sounds of her Guild Mates laughing around her made her smile.
"Are you sure doing the Fantasia Parade after all that's happened is such a good idea?" Frea glanced over, letting her arms fall to her sides.
"The Master wants us to do it." Mira explained. She chuckled softly when she noticed Juvia's reaction to being told she was gonna be in the parade. Frea turned around when she heard Grey talking.
"We need everyone we can get," He told Lucy, she's gonna be in the parade... She froze when Grey glanced over at her, oh.. no... "Your gonna be in it too, Frea." Grey told her and she stepped away.
"I don't think so! Your not gonna put me in the Parade, I wont allow it!" Frea stammered and Grey gave her an annoyed look.
"You don't gotta a choice, Gramps want the parade to go on and we need more people to be in it!" Grey growled and Frea sighed,
"I don't want to..." She grumbled, suddenly the whole hall went silent and she glanced up to see who was walking in, it was Laxus. He was surrounded by hostile and angry Fairy Tail Wizards.
"Where's the old man?" Laxus asked.
"Like we would tell you, you think you can just-" Jet growled.
"Enough!" Erza ordered and looked at Laxus calmly, "He's in the infirmary." She told him and Laxus continued walking, but stopped when Natsu jumped in front of him. Natsu began ranting something incoherent, Frea sighed. But Laxus passed him too and waved at him from behind, Frea smiled a little. She caught Laxus' eye as he passed, but it wasn't the hateful or angry glare she had become use to from him, instead it was calm and friendly. She looked away, that's not normal... Laxus disappeared into the infirmary.
"Show's over guys, lets get ready for the Fantasia Parade!" Erza called and Frea groaned unhappily as the rest of the Guild cheered. Why do I have to be in it...? I hate performing in front of people...
Your Mission... I hope you remember it...
Frea narrowed her eyes, she had forgotten all about the note until know, but it still sent a jolt of pain through her head as she tried to piece the information together. Gah... Why does it hurt to even think about that? She sighed and slunk away from Grey and Lucy, not wanting to be pulled in for the Parade preparation just yet. She walked outside and breathed in the fresh air, the town looked ready to burst with excitement. A hand clasped around her arm as she was dragged back into the Guild by an excited looking Lucy.
"Come on Frea! We have to get ready for the Parade!" Lucy giggled and Frea stumbled behind her, why, why, why, why, why!? She glared as she passed Cana and the brunette gave her a smirk. You put Grey and Lucy up to this didn't you?! She thought and she was pulled into a room where dozens of costumes lined the walls. Frea just stood there, looking unhappy as Lucy rummaged through the racks and more of the girls in the Guild came in. Lucy appeared back in front of her with a costume held in her hand.
"I am not wearing-" She started but Lucy shoved the costume into her hand and pushed her into a changing room.
"Oh, come on Frea! It'll be fun!" Lucy called and Frea sighed, I hate this...
Frea walked out of the Guild Hall, a very unhappy look on her face. The sun was setting, it was almost time for the Parade. Damn this stupid Parade! Lucy had picked out for her a strapless, short silver dress with black trim and had Cancer curl the ends of her hair and put it up into a ponytail. She was wearing silver hoop earrings and silver and black bracelets around her wrists. Her shoes were silver sandals, I feel absolutely ridicules...
She glared at the ground in front of her, heading toward the street they were supposed to be meeting at to start the parade. She bumped into something large and glared up at what it was, her temper running short.
"Watch where your going why don't you!?" She snarled, even though she was the one who needed to watch where she was going. She looked up into the shocked face of Laxus, oh great...
"Frea... I.. I didn't recognize you..." He stammered and she grew more furious when she noticed he was blushing slightly, "I've never seen you wear a dress before..." He murmured and she glared.
"Whatever... I have to go.." She muttered and started to slip past him but stopped when he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Wait, I was actually looking for you." Laxus said and she stopped.
"What for?" She growled, turning to look at him.
"I don't know if you heard yet but, Master kicked me out..." Laxus began and she kept a neutral expression. "Anyway, I know I've been a jerk to you for a long time now... and I just wanted to say I'm sorry.." Laxus said quietly and Frea's eyes widened in surprise. Laxus turned away and started walking away, "Maybe we'll meet again some day." Laxus called over his shoulder and she watched him until he was out of sight. He actually apologized...? Her eyes widened even more... He called me by my name... She turned away.
You may be a pain in the ass Laxus... but I'll miss having you around the Guild... she thought and reached the meeting place shortly. She stopped in front of Cana and ignored the stares she was getting from the men in the Guild, "What exactly am I supposed to be doing?" She growled and Cana smirked.
"Well look how cute you look!" Cana said and gave her a playful look, "Seems the guys think you look good too." She teased and Frea glared. "Oh come on Frea! You've been in this Guild longer than I have, yet you've never participated in the Parade, just give it a chance." Cana said and Frea sighed moodily.
"Fine..." Frea muttered, Cana smiled.
"OK! It's simple, just stand on the float and dance around, you can even use your Magic to add some more effects." Cana explained as she herded Frea onto a float. "Good luck!" Cana called as she headed away and the float began to move as night set in. The streets around the Parade path were overflowing with cheering people, Frea felt herself begin to freeze up.
Give it a chance... She sighed and relaxed,
She lifted her hands and let her Silver Energy flow out around her, glowing in the dark over the town of magnolia. She concentrated it and moved it around in streams, lifting it up into the sky and letting it fall apart in small glittering pieces. She stood there and messed around with her magic, the crowd seemed to like it. OK... maybe this isn't so bad. She looked ahead to where everyone had started to lift their hands up in the Fairy Tail way, Frea lifted her hand.
As she had heard Master say it once, we may not see you, but we're looking your way!
Sorry about not posting yesterday!
