CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN: DEAD GRAND PRIX

Natsu, Happy, Carla, and Wendy are heading back to the base. Racer tries to stop them, but Yuki holds up a wall made of ice, blocking his path.

"Huh?! Yuki?!" Natsu asked on the other side of the ice.

"Go!" Yuki shouted, panting from using up too much of his magic power. "I already told you that I'll handle him!"

"But you used up too much of your magic power!" Natsu argued.

"Just go, damn it!" Yuki shouted back.

"Yuki..." Natsu muttered.

"I won't let him pass, even if it costs me my life!" Yuki shouted. "Go! Go to Snow!"

Natsu holds back at what Yuki said. Then, he starts running. "I promise you, Yuki. We will save Snow!" Natsu replied. "Even if I hate that shadow bastard, I won't let him die!"

"I'm counting on you to save him, Natsu..." Yuki muttered, smiling.

"You... You stopped me twice now..." Racer said, touching his hand to the ice.

"And I'll keep on stopping you." Yuki informed. This makes Racer annoyed. "Besides, you'll never be able to catch up to Natsu. I may have not been a member of Fairy Tail for very long, but you'll always end up eating our dust. Forever..."


In the meantime, Jellal has stolen the clothes of Erigor, with the only thing being in his mind being "Erza."


Inside the Worth Woodsea, Natsu carries Wendy, Happy, and Carla to Snow's location, when he suddenly hears a voice inside his head. "Natsu-kun, can you hear me?"

"Who are you?" Natsu asks in confusion. Happy wonders why Natsu is talking to himself.

"It's me. Hibiki, from Blue Pegasus." Hibiki replied. "Thank goodness. I was getting worried after not being able to contact anyone, but thanks to Gray and Genie they told me where you were."

"Oh! Where are you?" Natsu asked.

"Not so loud. One of the enemies has very good hearing. It's possible he could intercept our conversation." Hibiki stated. "That's why I'm speaking directly into your mind. So, how are Wendy-chan and the cat?"

"They're here, although she's unconscious. Happy's awake, though." Natsu replied.

"I see. Thank goodness. Great job." Hibiki said. "I'm going to upload an app into your head that'll guide you here. The cat seems to have used too much magic and taken too much damage for me to connect... Anyway, hurry back here."

"Sure. What about an apple? I don't get you." Natsu confuses the word "app" with "apple". Suddenly, he gets a Magic app in him, knowing where Snow and the others are.

"Why have you been talking to yourself?" Happy asked.

"I don't really get it, but I have an apple in my head! Wait! I totally know how to get where Snow is! It's like I've known all along!" Natsu responded.

"I don't have any apples in my head!"

"Hurry, Natsu-kun." Hibiki watches Natsu through his magic. "You have to hurry... There's no time."

"So, how did you tell Natsu where we are?" Lucy asked.

"My magic, Archive, can compress information. By compressing it, people can transfer information between each other more quickly." Hibiki explained.

"Interesting..." Erza commented.

"I've never heard of magic like that before." Gray remarked.

"Using magic to convert information into data is a recent concept, you see." Hibiki stated.

Genie was looking at Snow. "I failed you, Snow. I promised you that I would always protect you. You wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for me." Genie remembers Snow being bit by Cobra's snake while battling him.

Gray looked over at Genie. "Hey, it's not your fault. Snow will be just fine once Wendy gets here. When I saw Yuki earlier looking down at Oracion Seis' hideout, I could tell he was thinking the exact same thing." He told him.

Genie sighed. "I suppose you're right. I just hate seeing my best friend like this."

"I know what you mean. Snow is my friend, too. Just imagine how Yuki felt. He'll be okay, I promise." Gray said.

"Anyway, thank goodness Wendy is safe." Lucy says in relief. "Just wait a little longer, Snow. You can do it! We'll protect you until Natsu comes back. I promise!" Hibiki softly smiles at her.

"Hey! What are you smiling about at a time like this?!" Lucy asked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you!" Hibiki replied, smiling nervously.


Elsewhere, Yuki fights against Racer of the Oracion Seis. Yuki meets up with Lyon and Sherry whom they team up and fight against Racer.


Back in Magnolia, Master Makarov recieves a report which links Brain to the Bureau of Magic. Not only that, he is linked to the R-System incident too. The Master is worried, but Mirajane reassures him. She is, however, concerned that they will destroy something again.


Yuki, Lyon, and Sherry confront Racer, who they ultimately defeat after a hard battle involving teamwork. However, Lyon later falls down a cliff with Racer.


Elsewhere, Brain feels Racer's defeat as one of the marks on his face disappear. He is shocked at the defeat of one of the six pillars and mutters that he has underestimated the enemy. He turns to Midnight, sleeping by the sides, and orders him to wake up and destroy every last one of their enemies. Midnight complies, referring to Brain as "Father".


Everyone hears the explosion Racer caused, then Yuki and Sherry watch it with wide eyes. Yuki doesn't believe that Lyon is dead and goes to search for him while Sherry starts to ask herself whose fault Lyon's death is.


Meanwhile, Jura finds one of the Oracion Seis, Hoteye. Their battle commences where they seem evenly matched, for Jura's Magic hardens the earth while Hoteye's softens it.


Elsewhere, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Genie, and Hibiki are waiting for Natsu to arrive with Wendy and the cats. Something moves in the bushes which catches everybody's attention. Natsu pops out in excitement. "We're here!"

"Natsu!" Lucy's happy to see him arrive on time.

"How'd this happen? Suddenly a map to this place popped into my head..." Natsu muttered.

"Anyway, hurry and wake Wendy-chan..." Hibiki said.

"Oh, right." Natsu sets her down, shaking her awake. "Wake up, Wendy! Please, save Snow!"

"Calm down, Natsu!" Lucy yelled.

Wendy finally wakes up, backing away from him in guilt. "I'm sorry! I..." The group stare at her while she shakes in fear.

Natsu bows down to her with his face in the ground. "I don't care about that right now!" Wendy looks at Natsu. "Snow's been bitten by a poisonous snake. Please save him! Even if I hate him, I won't let him die! I'm begging you!"

"Poison?" Wendy looks at Snow who is suffering in pain.

"We need Snow's strength to fight Oracion Seis." Gray said.

"Please, save Snow!" Lucy bows down to Wendy as well.

"Please!" Natsu said.

"Of course! Yes, I'll do it!" Wendy complied, determined to heal Snow. Natsu looks up at her with a wide smile.

"Thank goodness..." Happy muttered.

"How long are you going to be splayed out like that? It's unbecoming..." Carla commented.

"Aye..." Happy replied.

Wendy sits next to Snow as the group watches her. She holds out her hands above Snow and uses her magic to heal him. "I can't believe Jellal would do such a horrible thing to Snow-san and Erza-san..." The poison fades away. "I can't believe it..."


At the same time, Cobra follows Jellal because he can't read his thoughts. Jellal stops in front of a huge tree that Cobra has never seen before. Jellal touches the tree and a black light bursts out of it. Cobra discovers that this is Nirvana.


"Finished. All the poison is gone from Snow-san's body." Wendy said.

"And...?" The Fairy Tail group question altogether. Snow slowly moves. They hear him breathe for a second and cheer about it. "Y'alright!"

"Lucy, high-five!" Natsu happily said.

"Thank goodness!" Lucy high fives Natsu. "Gray!"

"All right!" Gray high fives Lucy as she cries tears of joy afterwards.

"Carla!" Happy walks over to her.

"Just this once." Carla replied in annoyance.

"Aye!" Happy and Carla high five.

"Wendy..." Natsu smiles as he high fives her. "Thanks!" His smile turns into a wide toothy grin.

"He might not wake up for a little while. But he'll be fine now." Wendy stated.

"Wow... His complexion is returning back to normal." Hibiki is close to Snow's face. "So this is Sky Magic?"

"You're too close!" Lucy yelled.

"May I have a word? Please refrain from using Wendy's Sky Magic any more." Carla said. "As you can see, it uses up a lot of Wendy's magic power."

"Don't worry about me!" Wendy said. "Besides, I..."

"After Snow-san wakes up, it's time to launch a counterattack." Hibiki said.

"Yeah! We'll K.O. those Oracion Seis!" Lucy said.

"Yeah! We ain't gonna let 'em have Nirvana!" Happy added.

Suddenly, they see the black light that erupted from the ground. "A pillar of black light..." Wendy muttered. Happy hides behind Carla in fear.

"That's... Nirvana!" Hibiki exclaimed. Everyone who saw the black light became surprised.

"Is that Nirvana?" Gray asked.

"So it was awakened by Oracion Seis first?" Lucy added.

"That light... Jellal is there!" Natsu runs towards Nirvana.

"Natsu! What do you mean, Jellal?!" Lucy asked, shouting at Natsu who completely disappears.

"I'll go after him!" Gray runs after Natsu.

"Gray!" Lucy called out.

"I-I... It's all my fault..." Wendy blames herself, close to crying.

Natsu continues to run to Nirvana where Jellal is. "I can't let him meet Snow and Erza! I can't let them see him! I... will... crush him!"

Snow finally wakes up, thinking to himself. "Jellal? What's he doing back?"


A/N: There you go!

School is cancelled March 16th-31st for me due to the coronavirus, so I'm going to be publishing a lot instead of doing school work. Oops.

Hope you enjoyed!
