Shattering screams were being heard throughout the whole town
'We really do make a great guild- Don't we?' Erza said smiling laying on the ground unable to move
Looks like they stopped the Thunder Palace just in time.
"Levy, are you alright?" Gajeel asked the solid script mage
"Mhm" She nodded
"-But what about Natsu? Is he okay?" Levy asked
"Looks just fine to me" Gajeel smirked looking at a raging Natsu
"I hit them with so much magic energy" Laxus looked stunned staring at his palms in disbelief
"The other guild members and the citizens of Magnolia- remained unharmed..." an unknown voice said from the front of the cathedral
"Freed" Laxus said
"Not a single person has been taken out, looks like Erza and Vyra stopped the Thunder Palace just in time" Freed leaned up against the side barley holding himself together
"Alright!" Natsu looked back to the other Thunder Legion member
Laxus grinned his teeth as he growled
"It's not possible! I cast the Fairy Law spell perfectly!" Laxus exploded
"Maybe so, but your true feelings have betrayed you- you've inherited more then just strength from your grandfather. Deep down, you also have the master's heart-"
"Whether you admit it or not, it's evident that you care for your comrades. The Fairy Law spell only affects those the caster sees as their enemy. Since no one was hurt, we know how you truly feel" Freed finished
"No, that's ridiculous, the truth is anyone who would ever dare to stand in my way IS MY ENEMY!" Laxus screamed
"This has gone on long enough" Freed proclaimed
"You need to go see the master before he's gone!" He tried to get through to Laxus
"Let the old man die for all I care-"
"HE'S NOTHING TO ME" Laxus shouted as his lighting flooded through the cathedral
Gajeel stood in front of Levy shielding her
Freed clung on to the side gate in awe
"Who do you think you are?!" Natsu shouted back
"You're not stronger than Gramps! You couldn't even pull off Fairy Law" Natsu ripped off his vest
"You may be his grandson, but your no better than the rest of us!" The Dragon Slayer flamed up
"DON'T YOU KNOW BLOOD TIES DON'T MATTER 'CAUSE EVERYONE IN THE GUILD IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAMILY"
"That's just a lie" Laxus replied before recharging his strength
"BLOOD TIES DO MATTER!"
'The warmth. Ahh, it's so nice' The moonlight mage was laying in the middle of the street unable to move a muscle in her body. That last attack took almost every ounce of her magic but she knew that she just couldn't sit around here all day no matter how bad her injuries
'You got to move, you HAVE to move'
The moonlight mage was struggling to stand.
'Damn, that Thunder Palace really zapped me' she staggered
'Natsu need's you... GET UP' The girl screamed to herself
She grabbed her forehead trying to focus on the ground until she heard a loud bang come from the cathedral.
"THAT WAS YOUR LAST MISTAKE, KID. NOW I'M GOING TO OBLITERATE YOU" Laxus screamed raising his arm up as his transformation circle went wide
"That spell- don't do it" Freed shaked
"That much magic energy could kill him!" He screamed while Laxus laughed
LIGHTNING DRAGON HEAVEN HALBERD!
He threw his lightning arrow directly at the pink headed Dragon Slayer who then feel to his knees
Natsu had no time to move, He looked at Laxus in disbelief
'He really-wants to kill me'
"Natsu!" Freed screamed as Levy cried
So this is it.
Just in the knick of time, a huge orange transformation circle went wide barley stopping Laxus' attack
Natsu had his eyes shut ready for impact, but nothing happened
'How?'
"Vyra!" Natsu looked up at the blue headed girl who was almost kneeling in front of him with her eyes focused on Laxus. Her arms were forward in a protective stance pushing on her defensive spell
Natsu was in awe
Vyra groaned and grunted. Stopping an attack from Laxus? What was she thinking?
'So much power' Vyra thought
'It's not enough' The bluenette doubted her strength
Vyra was holding on by a thread, she still couldn't heal properly from whatever Jellal did to her and what makes her think she can go up against Laxus?
The bluenette knows full well of the blonde's power
"ARGHHHHHH" Vyra screamed putting forth all of her magic energy as her magic circle began to crack from each side
The magic circle shattered and Vyra gave out an ear piercing scream as she was sent flying in the air
"What the hell?" Laxus shouted
Vyra looked at Natsu in the air before Gajeel grabbed her
"GET HIM" She screamed as Natsu began to flame up
(A/N: Oh Laxus, you pissed the boy off now)
"Damn it! VYRA!" Laxus screamed frustrated as he charged up an electric attack aiming it towards Vyra and Gajeel
Gajeel's eyes widened and Vyra scrunched her face
Before anything could happen Laxus stumbled back
"Vy, are you okay?" Levy asked the Moonlight Mage as Gajeel gently put he down on the ground
"I'm fine for now Lev" the girl responded as they both looked back up towards the fight
'Laxus really means business' Vyra bit her lip
"NO MORE HURTING MY FRIENDS" Natsu growled as he pulled back his fist from colliding with Laxus' face
Natsu charged up as Laxus jumped up
FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!
TALON!
WING ATTACK!
SWORD HORN!
FLAME ELBOW!
"He really is amazing"Levy commented next to Freed as Gajeel jumped down with Vyra
"His magic is so powerful, it's like it can break through a dragon's scales and shatter it's spirit"
"Dragon Slayer Secret Arts..." Freed whispered
FLYING LOTUS EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!
Natsu unleashed an ultimate attack that this time made Laxus fly up in the air
"He did it-" Gajeel said in awe
"He beat Laxus" Freed repeated
"Alright! That's my Natsu!" Vyra hurrayed
"Thanks to Porlyusica's help, the master's going to be just fine. So don't worry, he'll be back to work in no time" Erza proclaimed while everyone cheered
"Thank goodness" Lucy smiled
"-I gotta admit, I was getting a little worried" The blonde leaned against her arm
"Aw come on, it'll take more than that to make Gramps kick the bucket" Gray replied
"Well, he isn't as young as he used to be, so any added stress to his heart could significantly affect his health. Let's be on our best behavior okay?" Erza proclaimed while everyone agreed
"I don't know if it's such a good idea to do the Fantasia parade after everything that's happened..." The celestial mage said
"But the master wants us to do it. Besides, it's the perfect way to cheer everyone up" Mira chimed in
I can't wait to see what you all have in store for the parade!" Juvia clasped her hands together
"Yeah?" Gray looked over his shoulder
"You're gonna be in it with us, Little lady" Cana smiled with a drink in her hand
Juvia gasped
"You're a member, right?" Macao and wakaba teased as the bluenette blushed
"well, y-yeah, I am, but I'm so new I didn't think I'd be in the parade..." The girl moped
"I was expecting a little more excitement from her..." Wakaba crossed his arms
"She looks upset" Macao frowned
"-Isn't she the cutest?" Cana took a sip of her drink
"Does that mean I'm gonna be in it, too?" Lucy asked Gray hopeful
"Well, yeah. We need all the people we can get, especially since we're not gonna be able to use those three" Gray sweat dropped pointing to the back of the guild
"Oh yeah" Lucy remembered
Sitting on a bench in the back were no other then a bandaged up Gajeel, Vyra, and Natsu.
Vyra was sitting between the two Dragon Slayers.
Gajeel and Natsu had their shirts off (From being bandaged up) and Vyra was wearing a loose blue sun dress (Like before)
"Screw you and your parade" Gajeel crossed his arms
Vyra rolled her eyes as Natsu muffled something under his gauze
They all had sour looks plastered on their faces
"Do you have any idea what he just said?" Lucy jumped in
"Knowing him, it was probably something stupid" Happy responded
'It's good to see everyone get along again, after everyone was forced to fight one another' Erza thought as she saw smiles throughout the guild hall
Those smiles soon turned into gasps
Tension rose as the air went stiff
"Laxus?"
"What do you want?"
Members of the guild began to crowd around
"Where's the old man?" Laxus demanded
"We ain't telling" Droy took defense
"You think you can waltz in here and ask to see the master?" Jett shouted
They all began rioting until Erza stepped in
"Quiet everyone" She shouted
"The master's in the infirmary" The red head crossed her arms as the blonde strided past her
"Are you nuts?" Jett shouted looking at Erza
Everyone was in shock looking at the Lightning Dragon Slayer until Natsu jumped in front of the blonde mumbling a bunch of stuff only Gajeel could translate
Laxus walked past him as Natsu kept yelling
He then raised a hand up as Natsu's attitude changed- from anger to acknowledgement
Laxus then glanced over to Vyra who was staring him down, which then made Vyra's stare soften
"Show over guys" Erza tried to give the blonde space as she changed the subject
"Let's get ready for the Fantasia Parade!" She hurrayed as everyone cheered
"WHAT?! No, you must be joking!?" Evergreen shouted
"Why would he kick you out and not the rest of us?" She questioned
"Yeah. I mean, we're just as guilty as you are" Bixlow added
"Guess the old man doesn't see it that way" Laxus responded
"If you're leaving the guild, then i'm leaving, too" Evergreen decided
"You guys can be such a pain in the neck- I mean, can't you just say goodbye and be done with it?" Laxus crossed his arms
"I don't understand. We're at fault, too... so why are you taking all the blame?" Freed questioned the blonde
"You got it all wrong, my friends. You can say whatever you want, but I know you guys are much more attached to this guild than I could ever be" Laxus said
"If we talk to the master maybe we can change his mind!" Evergreen shouted
"-Yeah, Natsu and Gray respect you, so they'll probably go with us. He loves those guys, I'm sure he'll listen to them!" Bixlow added
"Are you really leaving?" Freed stepped forward
"Take care of yourselves" The blonde waved the three off
"Laxus Wait!"
"What will happen to the Thunder Legion?!"
"Man, I can't believe this" Bixlow clenched his fist
Evergreen took off her glasses as she began to cry
"I'm sure we'll meet again, Laxus" Freed closed his eyes and smiled
.
.
.
Half way from parting with the Thunder Legion, Laxus felt a tug on his coat and slowly turned around
The person behind him was Vyra, her hand was still clenched onto his coat as she looked him dead in the eyes stern-fully
"Your really going to leave without saying bye- to me?" The bluenette questioned sassily as she put her hands on her hips
This made Laxus smirk
"Well, you beat me to it" Laxus replied sarcastically
She broke their gaze as she was now looking at the ground
"I don't understand Laxus, honestly what was the whole point of this?" She looked back up to him
Laxus didn't say a word as he watched the bluenette
He just let her talk
"You deserve everything the Master gave you. He's right, you don't deserve to be in the guild" She crossed her arms
"You almost Killed- Natsu" Her voice began to tremble
"Me-you we're going to hurt me" She pointed at herself in rage as her eyes began to well-up in tears
"You deserve everything you get" The bluenette growled
"But you know what?" she went on
I know this might sound selfish of me but-" she paused as her voice hitched
"I need you...Laxus" The girl began to cry
"a-and I REALLY don't want you to leave-"
"I don't know what to do anymore!" Vyra put a hand up to her face to cover the tears that were now falling down past her chin
"-I don't want you to leave...me" she repeated looking at him straight in the eyes
Her glassy tearful cerulean ones to his strong hazel ones
Laxus closed his eyes and smiled
"You've really grown up, huh Vyra?" The blonde put a hand on top of her head ruffling up her hair
"I'm sorry I put you through so much Vyra, and you have every right to be angry with me..." He responded sorrowfully as she wiped her face
"But I have to go- it's what I have to do"
"Where- will you go?" She asked
"Where ever nature decides to take me" Laxus responded nonchalantly
"Okay, then I'm coming too-"
"No, you have to stay here" The blonde cut her off
"Forget Bixlow and Evergreen, they just want to go because there your 'followers'" She bunny quoted
"-I'm a whole different story" The bluenette finished
"You might've joined the guild because of me, but you fit in here more than I could ever" Laxus replied
"-And Natsu, he needs you more than you think" He went on
Vyra put a hand up to her cheek
"Yeah well, he is pretty helpless without me" Vyra agreed while nodding
"Aren't you two hooking up or somethin'?" Laxus raised an eyebrow
The bluenette's face matched the color of Erza's hair
"Excuse me!?" The girl screamed flustered
"Me and Natsu? Y-you g-gotta be kidding m-me, that's totally not true!" Vyra spazzed
"I'm just tellin' it like I see it" Laxus turned around and put a hand up waving
Vyra who was still red in the face watched as the blonde disappeared into the crowd
It was now night, and the parade was about to begin. The citizens of Magnolia all crowded around the streets ready to see what Fairy Tail has in store
Cana was in the front making different designs with her card magic, next up was Lucy, Bisca, and Levy who were dancing with flags (Rhythmic Gymnastics?)
Alzack, Jett, Droy and Max, Were dressed up as animals for the kids with a beast Elfman and Mira who transformed into a giant snake
Behind them we're Juvia and Gray, the prince and princess. (Juvia had to have her moment xD) Gray made an ice castle as Juvia made a water bridge
Erza had a whole float to herself dancing with her swords elegantly, and lastly Natsu and Happy trailed behind everyone on the ground with flames following him as he walked
Master Makarov was waiting at the end of the parade for his que, until someone caught his attention
"Hey Master"
"Hm?" He turned around to face Gajeel leaning up against the float and Vyra behind him
"You're not gonna be in the parade, Gajeel? Vyra?" He asked the two
"I don't like being in the spotlight" The Dragon Slayer responded
"Maybe next year for me-" Vyra sweat dropped
The master smiled "That can't be true, you're -be-do-ba"
Vyra held in a laugh as Gajeel's cheeks flared out
"Here, this is for you" Gajeel gave a piece of paper to the master
"Sorry it took so long" he apologized
"Huh?" Vyra was confused
"But I finally tracked down your son-Master Ivan"
"Good work my boy, I'm sorry it was so dangerous"
"What?!" Vyra freaked
"No prob, I could handle it. It was actually kinda fun. That guy has no idea that I'm a double agent" Gajeel smirked
"Gajeel the spy? Next time you go on a top secret mission I want to come along" Vyra butted in
'I appreciate it, we can't let him do as he pleases"
"You ready Master? It's about that time!"
"Sorry, but my public needs me!" Makarov put on his cat hat and jumped on the top of the float
The parade was a complete success. All the citizens of Magnolia had a blast and the guild spread their cheers throughout the town
A/N: Sorry for the late update! I was stuck on this chapter... but a lot of stuff happened as we closed out the Battle of Fairy Tail Arc. Writing this whole chapter was difficult b/c I really wanted to make it emotional, especially between Laxus and Vyra. Instead of having Gajeel save Natsu I had Vyra, I loved that scene so much in the anime and I just thought I would be more dramatic idk
Vyra goes through so much, I want something good to happen to her but then we have the Nirvana Arc next and that's when Cobra/Erik comes in ahh xD
Maybe I'll do some filler chapters what do you think?
Also, Gajeel and Vyra's budding friendship? I love, I'm a fan :)
