General POV
"Wait what…." I gazed at the flame filled town, as continuous explosions soon covered the entire town; I turned to look at Jellal and Meredy who were in the same state of shock as I was. The air was soon filled with ash, this for sure is them.
"It *Cough* All of this *Cough*, is the work of that dark guild" The woman that was saved by Jellal started to gain consciousness. "You guys are here to save us, right?"
"Yeah we are, we are the independent guild…Crime Sorciere" Meredy comforted the woman, encouraging her to rest knowing that we are here to help.
"Crime Sorciere, eh" She appeared confused. "You must have been the unknown guild that accepted my request, I'm glad that I guild did notice *Cough*. You have a nice guild name". Ultear stared at the woman; her skin was pale as her body was trying to push out the smoke that had entered her lungs. "The dark guild is called, Crimson Fire."
Ultear looked into the distance; the town of Magnolia was slowly getting filled with smoke. "Jellal, we need to help them." Jellal was mumbling something under his breath but it wasn't until he shot off like a rocket that she realised what he was doing. He used a new magic, well more like a magic he has developed from his previous magic-Meteor. This time it was quicker and in a second he was in the middle of the town. "Jellal, if you can hear me, I'll work on evacuating the town…you try and keep the fire down. ICE MAKE- ROSEN KROME" Ultear shouted, hoping that he could hear her as she covered the edge of the town in ice roses. "Meredy, we need to do the evacuation of the city"
Meredy nodded and rushed down to the nearby houses, eventually putting out the fire at the edge of the city. Only 10 minutes have past and the council interfered with the plan.
Ultear POV
"Dammit, they made it here too quick… Meredy how many more are out there?" I panted; I had been running around and using up my magical energy so quickly. Contently using Rosen Krome to try and trap the fire in the city but it was draining every little bit of energy I had. Jellal was still floating in the centre of time; he was producing a magic circle around the city. "He is trying to use a forbidden magic…*Cough*" The smoke was escaping the city, it has finally started to affect us on the border line. My magic energy, it's pretty much zero now. "*Cough*" My legs left heavy, the fire was breaking through my ice magic.
"Lost Magic…." Jellal started to mutter while he was flying. "Lost Heavenly Body Magic: ICE COMET."
Ice comet was a magic spell I taught him, I'm glad he used it. I collapsed alongside the ice roses that were covering the border, that's it, I'm done.
General POV
Meredy ran towards Ultear before the ash clouds engulfed her body, dragging her along the ground with all her strength. At this point Jellal is travelling at a high speed above the city covering it in ice, it wasn't long before the town was a winter wonderland. The sun glimmered on each and every ice crystal.
"Jellal, we need to get out of here. Ultear has used all her magic and the townspeople are starting to go back into the town. On top of that the council are here, and I'm pretty sure you don't have much magic left." Meredy screamed up to Jellal who was just finishing the spell.
"Meredy we haven't completed the requested mission, we were asked to destroy that dark guild" Jellal appeared behind Meredy, he looked weak.
Meredy POV
Jellal's body couldn't hold on for much longer, he wasn't ready for that spell. He limped towards me Ul was down and Jellal could hardly walk.
"Jellal, we can rest at the edge of town for tonight" I mumbled, just in case any councilmen were around us. But they were too busy trying to examine the town to notice three hooded figures trying to escape.
"*Cough* Jellal…..*Cough* I have to agree with Meredy" Ultear started to wake up. Jellal sighed then sat down.
"We have no choice then, we leave in the morning." Jellal didn't seem too impressed.
The woman I was taking care of had made her way back to the village with her son. I really do hope they made it back safely.
