CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR; TO TENROU ISLAND! WE WILL WIN!
MEANWHILE AT THE GUILD...
The entire guild was in a state of utter panic, with only four hours left each and everyone of them were desperate to do something...something to help their endangered guild mates. Makarov and Porlyusica watched grimly as the remaining members of the guild began to scramble to around like chickens with their heads cut off. Vijeeter was doing something he called "The Dance of Safety" spinning around crazily. Claie was wiping sweat off Anna's brow, the Dancing Gypsy mage shuddered as what little magic power she had left was being drained from her sickly body. Cana was glaring down at her tarot cards, hoping to find something that could help them...when it struck her. How could she have been so stupid?!
"THAT'S IT! MASTER I'VE GOT IT!" Cana shouted over her crazed guild mates.
Makarov spun around, facing the card wielder with a look of unbridled hope and exhaustion.
"What is it Cana?" He demanded.
"TENROU ISLAND! IT'S JUST SO OBVIOUS! I DON'T KNOW WHY WE DIDN'T THINK OF IT BEFORE!"
The old master's hands became shaky with excitement. Tenrou Island...the sacred place Fairy Tails first master Mavis was buried. A place where no man, woman or child bearing the Fairy Tail emblem could die...it was perfect.
There was only one problem.
"It takes at least six hours to get to Tenrou Island Cana...we have less than half of that..."
Cana's face drooped. Right, there wasn't enough time...how could they make it?
"Tenrou Island...? It's where no Fairy Tail Member can die correct?" Claie inquired, holding his wife in his arms. The Dancing Gypsy mage was getting sicker by the minute, and had to depend on her husband to move. The old man nodded and Claie let out a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Let's get going."
"I don't know if you were listening Honey but it's impossible to get there in time." Bisca pointed out, clenching her fists in frustration. It was then that Anna started sputtering and hacking. Despite her fever and frail state she still managed to give the guns magic user a huge grin.
"Don't underestimate my husband Bisca...he was captain of the first ever Pirate Wizard Guild...and a master of teleportation magic after all. Find us a ship Makarov, he will get us all to Tenrou Island within the hour...now all we have to do is hope no one dies before we get there."
GAJEEL'S POV;
When they first arrived in this demented hell hole called a mind...when Gajeel and Levy had become separated...he had this sort of gut feeling. Somehow Gajeel knew that this would be the last time she and him would see each other face to face...in this world anyway. At first he tried to shake the feeling, assuming it was only nerves or perhaps fear for her safety; and when Levy nearly died taking down Lance it was a wake up call. No matter what Gajeel had to protect her. It wasn't until much later that he realized this was impossible.
Whoever it may be, God or whatever...that son of bitch sure does have one sick sense of humor. What kind of 'God' lets a man with so many sins, so many mistakes...find love and redemption...only to take it away from him as quickly as it was found. He really was a bastard...
Gajeel couldn't save Levy...he knew this. He just let her out of his sight for a minute.
How can so much go wrong in just sixty seconds?
That didn't matter now. All that was important was fulfilling his one true loves final wish. He was the one who had to put her out of her misery. He simply had to. It was obligatory...and even it it wasn't there was no way in hell he was going to watch someone else touch her.
So the iron dragon slayer stared into the blunettes amber orbs, searching for whatever piece of Levy was left...and lifted his blade.
He could feel tears sting his eyes as he found nothing but pitch blackness.
Don't worry Levy, you'll be free soon.
He closed his eyes...and swung...
Meanwhile at the guild...
"Hurry up everyone on the ship!" Makarov hollered, screaming to be heard over the pounding rain.
"Shit where did this storm come from? It was just sunny a second ago!" Macao exclaimed.
Fairy Tails ship rocked back and forth violently with the Magnolia port. Every member held on, wrapping their spelled friends in blankets and taking them down below.
"Is Anna alright?!"
"Don't worry about me Claie. I'll be fine."
The young man stood atop the figurehead, somehow staying perfectly stationary despite the thrashing of waves and rocking vessel. He took a deep breath, letting out a sigh of satisfaction. It had been awhile since he'd been to the ocean.
"The sea...she is angry today..." He whispered, the salt air filling his lungs as he breathed in and out. As much as he wished to fall into nostalgic memories of better times. Anna was getting worse and the sooner they saved the Heartfillia girl the better.
"Is everyone ready?!" He yelled, magic power swirling around the ship. The all shouted their replies...each one of their faces full of determination. Makarov hopped next to Claie, shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Who are we?!"
"FAIRY TAIL!"
"That's right! We are Fairy Tail and WE WILL WIN!"
Makarov turned to the dark haired mage behind him, giving him a nod to go on and cast the spell.
"ARE YOU READY FAIRY TAIL?! HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS! TELEPORTATION MAGIC!"
And with that the entire ship disappeared in a burst of light, swallowing the majority of the Fairy Tail Guild along with it. No matter what...they were going to save everyone. They would defeat Rathal...and everyone was coming home alive.
JUVIA'S POV;
"Juvia thought you were her friend! H-how could you betray her?!" Gray's question was drowned out by a peal of laughter. Keekee covered her mouth to stifle her giggles. Juvia herself was in a state of shock. Her mouth was slack and her eyes had become blank. Keekee betrayed her? But...she and Juvia had become...friends...nakama...
"Gray how could you be so dense? I am Juvia's friend."
"You'll never be Juvia's friend! No friend wants to kill the other!" Lucy cried, hugging the still stunned Juvia to her chest.
"Be quiet Heartfillia..."
Lucy's breath caught...her throat...she couldn't...breathe...
The blonde fell to her knees, clutching her neck. Juvia held onto her friend, something she couldn't place began to pool at the bottom of her stomach. Her gut had become tight.
"Lucy! Hold on!" She cried, the blonde out choked gasps...she reached for the blunette.
"I'm...your...friend..." Her eyes closed.
"NO!"
Natsu's body burst into flames, he rushed forward, screaming with fury.
"Please dragon boy...just go to sleep."
Natsu's eyes drooped shut, his body crashing to the ground with a thud. Juvia felt the knot in her stomach tighten as she watched the dragon slayer fall. No...not another one. Keekee must have noticed her distress, giving the blunette a large smile.
"Don't worry Juvi...they're just sleeping. Remember I'm not after them...it's you I want. If you just come with me then this will be over...here I'll even defeat Rathal for you. What do you say?"
Gray stood between them, a look of absolute determination and fierceness decorated the ice mages features. He resembled a hardened warrior, ready to sacrifice everything for his princess.
"She's not going anywhere with you bitch."
Keekee laughed, appearing in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Oh Gray...I really don't like you..."
She grabbed hold of his throat, leaning her face closer to his. She let out a breath, coating the ice mage in stone.
The sound that came out of the water mage was not human, she grabbed onto the olive skinned woman's dark locks rearing back and slamming her skull into Keekee's forehead with a sickening crack. The other worldly being fell back, clutching her head.
"You...you hurt Lucy...you hurt my friends...you hurt Gray-sama..."
Tears fell down the blunette's cheeks and fresh blood dripped down her forehead. Her burning blue orbs were set on the woman who had just managed to get to her feet. Anger coursed through the Fairy Tail mages veins.
"...I..."
She clenched her teeth, her body prepping for battle.
"I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR TONIGHT! SO HERE'S THE SHOUTOUTS;
