"THE WINNER IS FAIRY TAIL!" The five Fairy Tail mages stood and listened to the roar of the crowd. The Fairy Tail stands were in an uproar and Makarov was crying hysterically, snot dripping from his nose. Erza however was uneasy.
"Natsu and the others should be back by now," she remarked, a frown on her face. Rose considered this and nodded.
"I hope nothing happened to them."
"... and that is the current situation." the King finished, "We know it must be taxing for you seeing as you've just participated in The Grand Magic Games… but right now our kingdom is in grave danger. Or so I was told."
"Ten thousand dragons…?"
"We couldn't do anything against Acnologia alone…"
"But wasn't that one… unique?"
"Still… we're talking about ten thousand…"
"Mages of all guilds," the King said, "please… use your power to defeat the remaining dragons. That is all I ask. I beg of you… save this country."
"Of course!"
"We'll take care of the leftovers!"
"This country which lives hand in hand with magic…"
"This is our country!"
"Our comrades were captured by the imperial forces…" Erza began. A soldier stepped up.
"We've just received a report that they've met up with the princess." Thank god, Rose and Erza both thought as they looked at each other.
"Alright then..." Gajeel exclaimed, "time to get a little crazy!"
"Dragons." Sting commented.
"So… we're up, I guess." Rogue added.
"Do your best Sting-kun!"
"Frosch will too!"
"Where's our mistress?" Rufus wondered.
"Dunno," was the reply.
"Thank you…" the King sobbed, "Thank you…"
"The town square is where Fairy Tail shall make our stand."
"What about the other guilds?"
"They've already been assigned to various regions throughout the area…"
"You should give that wound more time to heal Erza…"
"I'll be fine…"
"Thanks to the healers from the military and that girl from Lyon's guild, we've managed to regain quite a bit of mobility…"
Rose fired yet another breath attack at the dragonoids surrounding her. I wonder how the others are doing.
"COMING THROUGH!" Sting yelled as he ran through the streets, a huge dragon behind him. He met up with Rogue, and the two battled the dragons together right before her eyes.
Her eyes widened as she saw one of the dragons prepared an attack that would hit both Sting and Rogue. As it let out a roar, Rose dashed in front of them.
"Wha-"
"HEAVEN'S SHIELD!" A bright golden shield protected the three of them from the attack. "You're welcome," Rose winked. The two dragon slayers were stunned.
"T-thanks…" they said, Rose ignored them and fired another attack.
"Yeah yeah yeah," she said, "are you going to fight or not?" They nodded and the three of them fought the dragon.
All around her, Rose saw people weakening. She remembered what Gray had said earlier. She closed her eyes in concentration I have to do it, it's the only way we even have a chance. Taking a deep breath, she rose into the air.
"EVERYONE!" Rose called as she hovered.
"Huh?"
"What's she doing?"
"Rose?"
She smiled. "I will not be battling the dragons with you anymore…"
"WHAT?!"
"But you're-"
"... instead, I will help you another way." She closed her eyes and concentrated her magic energy, her hair rose as a giant golden magic circle appeared in the sky. "HOLY LIGHT!" A bright light rained down on the entire city.
"W-what is this?" Erza wondered as all her wounds began to heal.
"Amazing..."
"Wow!"
"My wounds!" Everyone watched in amazement as they felt their health and energy be restored. It… worked… Rose thought before she blacked out.
"ROSE!" Sting yelled as he caught her. She was completely unconscious.
"Sting!" Rogue called, "We need to concentrate, don't let it go to waste!" Sting nodded and set Rose down. Stupid girl, he thought with a smile.
Rose bolted up. W-where am I? She thought as she looked at an unfamiliar room. She winced as she walked towards the door.
"Shhh…" she heard… Makarov? say, "she's still-" Rose opened the door to see Team Fairy Tail.
"What happened?!" she demanded. Makarov smiled.
"The battle is over my child," he said, Rose sighed in relief.
"Is everyone okay?" she wondered. This time it was Erza who answered.
"Thanks to your spell, everyone came out alive."
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Sting demanded as he burst in through the door. Rose backed away, Sting?
"What are you doing here?" Natsu demanded, Lucy pulled him back.
"Umm… sorry?" Rose said, then looked at him strangely, "Why do you care?" He crossed his arms and looked away.
"I don't," he stated, "I just thought you were being stupid… that's all."
"He loovvvvesssss you," Happy exclaimed. Sting's face turned red.
"What are you talking about?!" he fumed and stormed out. Rose stared after him in shock What was that all about? He doesn't like me does he? She panicked, Oh no…. T_T '
Rose spotted a note addressed to her. She picked it up.
Meet me at the bar at 7 pm
-Sting
It read. Sting… likes me? No-
"LUCYYYY!" she cried as she raced to Lucy's room. She pounded against the door. A bewildered Lucy opened the door to see Rose, breathless, in front of her.
"What is it?" Rose frantically waved the note in front of Lucy.
"Sting… wants… to meet me!" Lucy's eyes widened.
"That's great!" she exclaimed.
"No it's not!" Rose said, "I don't like him… not like that!" Lucy's face dropped.
"You don't?" she adamantly shook her head.
"What should I do?!" Lucy looked at the young girl in front of her.
"Why don't you just tell him no?" Rose averted her gaze.
"I can't do that…" she mumbled. Lucy nodded in understanding. Then Rose thought of something. "I'll just send a note back telling him that I'm not interested!" she exclaimed. Lucy looked at her, unsure.
"I'm not sure that-" but Rose already gone.
Sorry, Rose wrote.
but I only think of you as a friend :(
… if that's what you were talking about, she paused, satisfied with her work.
She went to drop off the letter at his guild.
"There's a note for you Sting-kun," Sting looked at Lector.
"Really?"
"Yup! Here it is," Lector handed it to him. Sting opened it and read its context.
"WHAT?!"
Cliffhanger!... kinda XD
What do you think?
Sting likes Rose but... she doesn't like him back O_O
