I do not own fairy tail
It had been only ten minutes since Rose and Laxus got off the train and boarded a boat that was headed out to the middle of the ocean. Rose stood watching Laxus stare out towards the ocean, and with a sigh Rose headed over to Laxus and placed her hand on his arm.
"Laxus what is going on?" she asked as she saw the worried look that was on his face.
Laxus rubbed his hand down his face before sighing and turning to look at Rose, "I don't know how I know I just do, but something is wrong. I feel like the others on Tenrou are in trouble and I just can't turn my back on them. I have to make sure they are ok." Laxus gave his head a slight shake before turning back out to look at the ocean.
"Close your eyes and concentrate your senses out in that direction," he said as he pointed just slightly east of the way they were headed.
Doing as she was told Rose closed her eyes and began to concentrate out in the direction she was told. It only took a minute before Rose's eyes shot open wide with fear. "So I take it you feel the same darkness I do." Laxus said as he watched Rose's expression go from fear to worried in the blink of an eye.
"Please tell me that is not coming from the island," she whispered as she stared out into the distance.
"I can't because I am positive that that darkness is coming from the island," he said as he pulled Rose into his chest and held her close. "I am already going to loose you I can't loose them too," he whispered into her ear.
Rose gave him a squeeze before pulling away and looked him right in the eye, "you aren't going to loose them Laxus, we aren't going to let that happen. How much longer do we have?"
Laxus stood up tall and took a deep breath, his features going from that of worried to determination, "it shouldn't be long now, I would say another ten minutes or so."
Silence fell between the two as the boat sailed forward into the distance. It didn't take until a speck was able to be seen in the distance. Rose's head shot up as she grabbed Laxus arm, "Laxus is that is?"
Laxus turned to look in the direction Rose was looking before giving his head a slight nod, "Yes it is, won't be long now...hey what is that?" he asked pointing to a second black spot near the island.
Rose squinted her eyes a bit, "It looks like some sort of ship. I think there is a mark on it but I can't..." Rose trailed off as a large amount of dark energy began to grow. Rose's eyes grew large " LAXUS!"
" I know I am going to the ship when you are close enough you go to the island and check on the others." He said as he lighting teleported away not waiting for a reply.
"Please be safe Laxus...everyone please," Rose whispered as she jumped onto the side of the boat waiting just long enough for the first rock to come into jumping distance before taking off toward the island at full speed.
Only slowing down long enough to catch which direction the others scent was coming from before taking off at full speed once again.
It wasn't long before Rose turned a corner and caught sight of Bixlow. Rose was just about to slow down when something danced on the edge of her vision. Eyes widening she took off once again as fast as she could, "BIXLOW," she screamed as she shoved him out of the way letting out a scream of her own, as the word, 'pierce' made its way to the others ears.
"That's eastern solid script, no not those two again, I thought Gajeel beat them already," Levi said as she caught sight of the attackers.
"Apparently not," Lisanna said as she stood next to Elfman.
"Rose are you ok, where the hell did you come from?" Bixlow asked as he helped Rose to her feet.
"Man that hurt, I am fine Bix no worries. And long story short Laxus felt something was wrong so we came straight here," Rose replied as she jumped out of the way of another attack.
"Proper battle means nothing to a warrior who has lost his blade," one of the enemies said as he sent a enchantment remover spell towards the camp.
It was then Rose heard Freed say to protect the injured right before a blast shot out at Elfman, "If we don't take you all out master Hades is going to be angry," said a new voice from behind.
"Damn it, they just keep popping up like weeds," Rose said as the two in front of her and Bixlow began running towards them.
"No way," Levi began only to be stopped by Freed, "Wait, we must restore the enchantments to protect the injured. Bixlow, Rose split up and take them out."
"you got it, just leave them to us. Lets go babies." Bixlow said as he sent his dolls after the two in front of him as Rose took off with Lisanna to battle the big guy that attacked from behind.
Lisanna getting in the first hit before being knocked back, "man he is tough," she said.
"Well yeah of course I am, I reinforced myself," he said.
"oh yeah well try this on for size, Ice dragon ice blades," Rose said as sped towards him with an ice blade in each hand. Only to be thrown back into Lisanna. "sorry" Rose muttered as she sat up and helped Lisanna up.
"Wait a minute, didn't happy steal that doll from you?" Lisanna asked as she noticed the doll in his hand.
"I always carry a spare. Now being the skilled worrier that I am I already managed to get my hands on one of your pretty hair." he said as he attached the hair and made the skin of the doll turn to iron.
Rose and lisanna both looked down at their skin not knowing which one of them he managed to get hair from only to realize that neither of them had iron skin.
"look here if one of you wants to get with me just say so, there is no need for all of this."
"I think this guy has a few screws loose, Lisanna," Rose said as she got down into a defensive position.
Not a second later an iron covered Elfman came speeding toward them. Both dodging as best they could before Elfman slammed into Rose sending her flying into the tree before turning back on Lisanna only being able to dodg a few more time before also being hit in the end.
"That will teach you to mess with the seven kin of purgatory, now it is time that I destroy you."
"We won't loose, we won't stop fighting, because we are Fairy tail."
Attack after attack Rose and Lisanna sent at the enemy but nothing seemed to be working. Once again he began to send Elfman flying at the two and once again they began dodging. Taking one hit after another he began to wear them down. It wasn't long before Rose was slammed into another tree by Elfman, only this time he stayed with her.
Rose gently pushed Elfman off of her before hearing the explosion sound from behind. Looking in the direction she saw he had Lisanna hanging upside down by her ankle.
"That is what you get for trying to steal a pure heart like awwww," he screamed dropping Lisanna as his hands few up from the pain of the fire that attacked his back.
Rose made her way over to Lisanna helping her to her feet as they watched Cana send attack after attack at him, only stopping when he began once again talking about how he had never had so many women fight over him.
"Are you trying to distract us or are you really that stupid?" Cana yelled at him as solid script iron fell on his head.
"This guy bothering you," Levi asked
"He was," Cana replied. "Lets of take him out together," Lisanna said.
Rose nodded her head and they all began sending attacks.
"Solid script hole, blessed flame, Ice daggers, egg quake," they all said one after another only to get the surprise of Elfman in the spot the enemy once was.
It was then they all saw the misty looking enemy hovering towards them only for him to get trapped in one Freed's enchantments. It didn't take long for the four of them to send him flying through the air.
"Well one down, two to go," we should go check on the boys," Rose said as she walked over to were Elfman was stuck head first in a hole. Giving her head a small shake,"we should probably get him out first," Rose said as she grabbed part of one leg while the others gathered around. After a few good pulls Elfman was finally released from his hole.
"Looks like Bixlow is having some trouble,' Cana said "we have to do something we can't just sit here."
"Yeah but we used all our magic battling the last guy," Levi said
"You're right we need a way to get our magic back pronto and there is a mountain of protein right there." Elfman said
"No Elfman you are still recuperating, I will go help Bixlow and Freed," Rose said as she tried to push Elfman to sit back down.
"No I got this you sit back and regain you energy." he said as he took off and began eating the mountain of eggs. Rose held back with the others and watched as Bixlow, Freed, and Elfman fight as a team to take down the last of the two enemies.
Rose smiled and let out a sigh of relief knowing that the injured were now out of harms way. It was then that a lighting flames came shooting from the direction of the ship. Rose's eyes grew wide as she thought of Laxus in trouble.
"Come on lets go back to the others and make sure they are ok," Rose said as she walked in the direction of base camp. Once there Rose began to check over her guild mates that were still unconscious before turning he attention to the others and began wrapping their wounds.
"How do you think Natsu and his team are doing," Rose asked as she began work on Freed.
"I wouldn't worry to much this is Natsu we are talking about after all, and remember he has Laxus and Erza with him not to forget Gray and Lucy as well." Freed replied.
Silence fell over base camp, everyone sat worried hoping for the best. Ten minutes had passed and soon the ground began to shake looking up everyone was able to see that the Tenrou tree was once again standing tall and soon everyone's guild insignia began to glow.
Soon noises were heard from the beds and everyone that was once unconscious was now awake. Rose ran over to master and helped him sit up, "master, everyone your all awake," she said as a huge smile made its way across her face.
Master looked at Rose confused, "What are you doing here Rose...wait never mind that can wait we must all go to the ship now," he said as he stood up an dropped his coat over his shoulders and began walking in the direction of Hades ship.
Everyone walked as fast as they good to the ship and soon the ship was insight. One after another they climbed up the side each picking up the pace with each voice of the others they picked up.
"Stop right were you are," master yelled at the on coming men causing all of them to stop in their tracks and look around before realizing they had lost and made a run for it. "come on everyone lets get back to camp, I think everyone needs a good rest," master said as he ushered everyone from the boat.
It didn't take long to get back to camp, Rose walked to the outside of the group and leaned up against the base of the tree watching everyone laugh and smile together. Turning her attention she saw the thunder legion tending to Laxus, bandaging his wounds and making sure he was ok.
Tear began to weld up in her eyes, 'two weeks left, how am I going to be able to walk away from them. I haven't been apart of the guild very long but they are already so much like family to me. I don't want to leave them...I don't want to die.' she thought to herself as she reached down and felt the thigh holster where her keys laid before quickly wiping her eyes and ducking around the tree and headed into the forest.
Rose found a nice quiet place away from the others and sat down next to a mostly flat rock before reaching down and pulling out a key.
"Open gate of the planet Jupiter: Blitz," Rose spoke, a beautiful pale red light shined beside her, once dissolved Blitz could be seen holding pen and paper.
"I take it this is what you want," he spoke without feeling as he handed the paper to her and walked to lean against one of the trees.
For the next thirty minutes Rose wrote letters, one to the guild, one to the master, one to Lucy, and lastly one to Laxus. Tears falling faster and harder with each letter she wrote, knowing good and well they would only be delivered after her time was up. It took longer then she hoped to write her good bye to Laxus tears falling down on the page. Finally she was done and she quickly slid each letter in the correct envelope before turning to Blitz.
"I know this isn't what you all want but I need you to do this for me ok. My time is up in two weeks and once I am gone I want you to deliver these to the guild for me ok. Please I love you all so much and I am so sorry it has come to this." she whispered as she handed the letters over to Blitz.
Blitz could no longer take it any more and took the letters from Rose before pulling her into a hug. Neither of them needing to speak. They knew what the other was thinking, they knew they both needed the hug. They stood like that for what seemed like forever when a loud dragon like roar tore them away from their thoughts.
Rose's eyes grew wide with fear as she turned to Blitz," Go, return to the spirit world now. You and the others stay there do not come out." she said with such fierceness Blitz could only nod his head in understanding before going back to the spirit world. After making sure he followed her orders Rose took off back to the camp. Returning just in time to see exactly what she feared.
Rose gasped her hands flying to cover her mouth as she spoke, "Acnologia"
