I looked up at the rune wall to check the current score. Erza vs Evergreen. The winner is Erza. I looked behind me and noticed that all the girls had been turned back to normal. I watched as Candy jumped straight into Lilias's arms. "Lilias!" she yelled as she flung herself into Lilias's arms. I turned back to the rune wall. It seemed like the girls had now all been added to the battle. We quickly briefed the girls about the battle of Fairy Tail. As soon as we had done that, Natsu decided that he wanted to fight everyone and carry on the battle of Fairy Tail even though there was no point in carrying on since all of the girls were freed so Laxus had no hostages.
I watched as Natsu began to chase Lucy around the guild hall. I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned to see Miriza. "Is it just me," she began to whisper, "Or would Natsu and Lucy be the perfect couple!" I certainly didn't expect her to say that. I mean, I agreed with her - but wasn't she the one who stalked Natsu and Lisanna when we were all little because she didn't like them as a couple? I would never know what went on in her head... Honestly, I was worried. I knew that Xavier had been beaten. Didn't Melody, Altair, Viper and Bluebelle go along after him? I was worried since they hadn't returned yet... Where had they gone? I looked over towards the wall of runes. I was surprised to see the runes had now transformed into a giant red skull... It spoke with Laxus's voice. "Can you hear me old man?"
After the skull had finished speaking it disappeared. It had mentioned that there was only 1 hour and 10 minutes left. As well as activating 'The Thunder Palace.' I couldn't help but wonder what that was. Whatever it was, It couldn't be good. We didn't have much time left - and only one member of the thunder legion had been taken down. "What are you Thinking Laxus!?" I turned to see Makarov yelling, "You plan on getting innocent people involved in this!?" Suddenly, Makarov clutched his heart. After that he slumped to the ground. We all stared forwards with wide eyed expressions of concern, worry and panic. Mirajane then ran off to get his medicine. This couldn't be good. I stood a fair distance away. I didn't want to get in the way. Mira soon came running back, medicine in hand. "Everyone look outside!" she called. We all ran to look outside the guild hall on the balcony, apart from Miriza who stayed with Mira to help Makarov. All we could do was stare at what looked like hundreds of lacrimas surrounding the city of Magnolia. Lilias turned to Lokni. "Do you have any idea?" she spoke. He shook his head. Each lacrima contained a large amount of magic energy... So was Magnolia now the target... Everyone seemed to have worked it out just as quickly as I had... So now Laxus had a new set of hostages... I gritted my teeth, this was starting to get really annoying.
Just then Bisca requipped into one of her magic sniper rifles. She then took a shot at one of the lacrimas. The lacrima then exploded. I watched as the others praised Bisca. Sadly, I had a feeling that something was going to go wrong... Just then Bisca was struck by lightning. After she had been completely zapped she fell to the ground. "Why didn't you just eat the lightning?" I yelled at Lokni. He looked straight at me. He looked a little embarrassed. I guessed that he'd just forgot about being a generation zero lightning dragon slayer... Bisca was now unconscious. It was body link magic. If you destroy a lacrima - You'll get zapped with the same amount of power you used to attack the lacrima. Therefore there was no way Lokni could have eaten the lacrima. Bisca would have been zapped no matter what.
Everyone who could get through the barrier then ran off to try and defeat Laxus and the thunder legion. That left the rest of us useless. I watched as Natsu then jumped off the balcony and ended up slamming straight into the rune wall. We were all desperate to help defeat the Thunder Legion, but no one was more desperate than Natsu... Natsu continuously pushed against the rune barrier but with no luck. Honestly, I wanted to do the same. But I knew that it would be a waste of time... "Natsu, calm down!" We turned to see Levy. I had thought that she had gone with the others. I guess I was wrong... I listened to what she had to say. She then stated that as runes were writing magic, she may be able to help set us all free! All she had to do was rewrite the runes... While we waited.
Levy was crouched down on the guild hall floor surrounded by pikes of books. I would have tried to help - but I was no good with runes really. Since I always read about demons and black magic, that was what I knew more about. I'd never really read anything on runes or writing magic. Watching Levy work down there, it seemed like a useful skill to have. After this was all over (if we survived), I'd ask her if I could borrow a book on runes magic. Or Freed could help teach me or something? I doubt he'd help me like that. Especially after all this. I had no idea whether we were all going to make it or not. Would Laxus really end up becoming guild master? If so, all the weaker members of Fairy Tail would be kicked out. Did I really want to be part of a guild like that? If that ever happened, I would go and live on Tenrou island with Bluebell. Zeref would be there as well. So would Mavis. So it was settled. If Laxus became guild master - I was going to Tenrou!
I watched the battles on the rune walls. Lucy vs Bickslow, The winner is Lucy. As soon as I saw that I felt joy well up inside me. Lucy had defeated Bickslow! Now only Freed and Laxus remained. If we all banded together - I guess we would have a fighting chance against them? Not long after, Levy had been able to solve the puzzle of rewriting the rune barrier! It was now time for the rest of us to join the battle of Fairy Tail. Natsu and Gajeel seemed glad to finally be able to make it out. Levy stopped the rest of us from following them. "I think that it'd be best if you guys stay here - Natsu and Gajeel can handle this," she spoke, "plus if all three of you go into the fight Magnolia could easily get destroyed..." With that we all reluctantly waited at the guild hall. Not too long after, we were notified of the next result: Mirajane vs Freed, Both wizards forfeit. I could only guess that Mirajane had used her satan soul... She hadn't tried using a takeover spell since... Lisanna had died... I couldn't help but wonder what Freed had done to set her off...
Just then, I noticed a figure walk into the guild hall. She had Pink hair that was tied up on a bun as well as a pair of red eyes. She was also wearing a red cloak. I recognized her as Porlyusica. She had arrived to help heal Makarov. Levy then showed her up to where Makarov was in the infirmary with Bisca and Miriza. As soon as Levy had gone with Porlyusica, I noticed 4 small creatures fly into that guild hall as well. I recognized them immediately. I embraced Bluebell in my arms. "I was so worried about you all!" I whispered in her ear. She then looked up at me with her large dark eyes.
"There was no need to worry," she smiled, "since us cats weren't counted in the game - Melody figured that we should go out to the east forest to go find Porlyusica so that she should come and help. Her hunch was right and we were able to get there to go find her. We were then able to convince her to come and help!" I looked over at Melody.
"Do you know where Miriza is?" she asked.
"Baka is in the infirmary helping to heal Makarov and Bisca," Lokni replied. Immediately, I heard Levy come rushing down the stairs. "Come on!" she said, "You should all come with me! We need to go warn Laxus before it's too late!"
Levy explained to us on the way. Laxus needed to know that Makarov may be soon at the end of his life. While we were running we unexpectedly heard Warren's telepathy. We all had to band together to destroy all of the lacrimas before they all attacked Magnolia. Warren's telepathy couldn't reach all the way to the guild hall so only everyone who could hear him now would get the information. Unfortunately, since we all had telepathy between one another now, everyone started arguing because of the fights from before and everyone fighting each other. All we could do was listen... That was until Lucy spoke up. "Everyone, Listen!" The arguing stopped, "This isn't the time to be fighting! The people of Magnolia are in real danger! We have to all work together to protect them! If we combine our powers, we can overcome anything! That's what I've learned after coming to Fairy Tail. I know that I've only just joined recently, but my feelings for this guild are as strong as anybody's! Joining Fairy Tail has been my dream since long ago... It's always been my goal. Even now. So please... Let's all work together... Let's protect our guild... and our city!" I couldn't help but admire her words... "And if that won't convince you... I'll destroy all the lacrima myself!" With that - everyone was able to stop arguing at get their priorities in order. "You guys go help destroy those lacrima," Levy spoke to us, "I'll go warn Laxus." I nodded.
"Good luck." I looked up towards the lacrima above our heads. We had to do this! For Fairy Tail! For Magnolia!
