The Tower of Heaven Part 7 Finale.

Home

Erza was floating into nothingness…

"Am I still inside the Lacrima? No this is different." Erza thought.

Then she woke up floating in the air and saw a funeral one that is for her...

She saw Makarov, Juvia, Gajeel, Mirajane, Elfman, Cana, Macao, Wakaba, Levy, Romeo, Alzack, Max, Nab, Warren, Bisca, Vijeeter, Laki, Simon, Ultear, Miliena, Wally Sho, and many others.

"Wait, does this mean that I'm dead?" Erza thought.

In front of her grave was a bouquet of roses.

[Erza Belserion X765-X784]

"Erza Belersion touched many lives in this world. With a heart huge as boundless as the sky above. Her noble swords show vibrantly protected those she holds dearly loved. She moves with the grace of a fluttering fairy and her beauty rivaled mother nature herself. Love is a strength but also a family will never be the same." Makarov said solemnly as he sobs.

"In the wake of this tragedy of the Magic Council has been emptied of one seat. So, we decided to give that seat to her and named her eternally as one of the Ten Wizard Saints." Org said as he and the other Magic Council appear in front of her grave.

Just then Wildcard and Simon appeared and they looked angry...

"We have had enough of this!" Natsu shouted.

"We're not going to let all of you kill off Erza so easily!" Gray said as he froze the rain as he walked to the grave.

Then Lucy tossed away the bouquet of roses…

"What are you doing?!" Makarov said in shock.

"Lu, please stop this!" Levy cried.

"YOU BASTARD!" Sho shouted as he ran at Wildcard.

"We all know that Erza isn't DEAD. Her Vivre card is still here!" Natsu said as he pulled out the Vivre Card that is linked to Erza's life force.

"Please, stop…" Miliena said as she cried as Wally, Macao, Wakaba, and Elfman tried to put down Natsu but he overpowered them.

"WE ALL KNOW THAT ERZA IS STILL ALIVE! YOU ALL LOST YOUR FAITH IN HER!" Lucy screamed as her body glowed preparing for a fight.

"COME ON FIGHT ME! I DARE YOU!" Gray said as he started to freeze the area.

"SHUT YOUR TRAPS YOU BRATS SHE'S GONE!" Makarov yelled at Wildcard as he teared up and slammed his giant hand on Natsu.

"SHUT UP SHE'S ALIVE DAMMIT!" Natsu shouted in the rain as Happy tried to get him out but he was crying too.

Erza was shocked that her sacrifice was making her friends suffer.

"I sacrificed myself because I thought it would make a brighter future. But that's not the case… my death only brought despair. I never thought things had turned out this way. I never meant to hurt them like this." Erza thought as she saw her friends crying.

Just then she turned around and someone was grabbing on to her.

Then Erza opened her eyes and looked around.

"Where am I?" Erza said to herself.

"ERZA!/REDHEAD!" Erza's friends and Gajeel cried out as they ran for Erza.

"But this doesn't make any sense. Am I still alive?" Erza said in shock and then she saw Natsu carrying her and had Simon on his shoulders.

"Natsu… Simon… they saved me … I was lost in a sea of magic and yet they still found me..." Erza thought in awe.

As Fairy Tail and Erza's friends ran towards Natsu, Simon, and Erza. Natsu fell on his knees.

"I feel the same way about what you said," Natsu said as Simon fell face-first into the water and woke up.

Flashback start...

"I want to thank you, Natsu… you and the others that helped me in the past that made me who I am today…" Erza said as she was going further and further into the lacrima.

Flashback end.

"And I know everyone does too. Promise me you won't do it again." Natsu said.

"I promise-" Erza said.

"PROMISE ME!" Natsu shouted.

"... I promise, thank you Natsu, Simon. This experience taught me a very important lesson: you don't die for your friends, you live with them." Erza said.

Later…

Natsu was bandaged up and was asleep.

"You think he's gonna be okay?" Gray said.

"I can't believe Natsu is still asleep," Lucy said as she is worried about Natsu's well-being.

"Well the idiot did eat a part of Etherion," Gray said as Natsu suddenly woke up!

"SAY THAT AGAIN! OR WE'LL SMACK YOU!" Natsu/Inferno/Smaug yelled

"You're awake! Huh?" Happy said as Natsu woke up and then went back to sleep.

"Well, that was weird," Gray said.

Then Lucy started to laugh.

"I know I already said this but I'm really sorry for causing such trouble," Erza said.

"It's alright Erza you don't need to apologize," Lucy said.

"By the way, where's Juvia, Simon, Levy, and Gajeel?" Erza asked.

"Oh, apparently they're returning to Fairy Tail. Simon, Juvia, and Gajeel were planning to ask the master about letting them join the guild." Gray said.

"Oh really?" Erza said.

Later at the Beach…

"Look, it's not like we meant to hurt you or nothing," Wally said.

"We're really sorry for everything," Milliena said.

"No, I should apologize to you. I left all of you in the tower for all those years. I hope you can forgive me." Erza said.

"We already forgive sis," Sho said.

"But if I didn't leave then I could have saved Jellal's light…" Erza said.

"Yeah, Jellal was a good kid but he always liked you," Wally said.

"Stop it, Wally!" Milliena said.

"I knew… when I was a little girl in that tower when he tried to take the fall for our attempt to escape…" Erza said.

"I know it's hard to move forward but it's what grandpa Rob would want us to do," Erza said.

As all of the former Tower of Heaven prisoners smiled at Erza's words.

"You all can join Fairy Tail. Give guild life a try." Erza smiled.

"What?/Really?/Meow is that really okay?" the Tower of Heaven friends said in shock.

"Of course but you can join other guilds and I don't want to pressure you. So, I want to let you guys decide." Erza said.

"I don't know about you but I like the idea already." Wally said.

"Meow, new adventure everyday!" Milliena said.

"Yeah, Simon is planning to join why not you guys too. It would bring us closer." Erza said.

"Yeah," Sho said.

"Come on, I will properly introduce you to everyone." Erza said as she and her friends walked to the building…

"You've grown stronger Erza…" Jellal's voice was heard.

"Jellal?" Erza said as she turned around and saw nothing.

"Must've been my imagination." Erza said.

Later at the Resort…

"After we went back to the resort, Natsu said that Jellal was actually the one who saved her. He approached Natsu and Simon. Not knowing who Natsu is but remembered Simon as a child. He infused himself into the lacrima and shot up the Etherion upwards. I guess Natsu knocked out whatever was possessing Jellal. I guess he was a nice guy after all." Lucy thought of the events that happened during their was forcing food down Sho's throat and Natsu showed off his fire magic.

"I feel bad for him… Jellal was another innocent victim of Zeref's dark history." Lucy thought as she wrote in a journal.

"Hey, Lucy have you seen Sho and the others are?" ERza said.

"No, I haven't seen them since dinner." Lucy said.

"I can't find them anywhere." Erza said.

"You don't think they up and leave?" Lucy said.

"That's most likely. Lucy tells Natsu and Gray to prepare the fireworks and meet me at the beach." Erza said as she left the room.

Meanwhile with Sho, Wally, and Milliena…

The three somehow manage to find a rowboat...

"Are you sure we can make it in the outside world? We've never been on our own before." Wally asked Sho.

"We're going to have to try. Erza is a big girl now… she doesn't need us to hold her back." Sho said.

"There you are." Erza said as she found the three.

The three turned their heads facing Erza.

"You found us." Sho said as Erza approached them.

"Please don't try to stop us. It's just that we've been in that tower since our childhood and now we're adults that don't know the outside world. This is our chance to see the world without the shackles of our past! We can follow our dreams but we can't do this together; this is where we part ways." Sho said.

"... I have complete faith in you guys and I know you will do well out there. But, you must obey 3 rules you must abide by." Erza said as she changed into her Farewell Fairy Tail Armor.

"What do you mean leave? We never joined." Wally said in shock.

"Number 1: Never share sensitive information about Fairy Tail with anyone as long as you live. Number 2: Never contact clients within the guild for personal gain. And number 3: Although our paths may stray, promise you must live life to the fullest. Meaning you must treat everyday as if it were your last." Erza said as she started to tear up when she said number 3.

"Never forget your Fairy Tail friends. Treasured them as long as you live." Erza said as she cried Sho, Wally, and Milliena began to cry.

"Let the Fairy Tail farewell begin now!" Erza said as Natsu, Gray, and Lucy popped out of nowhere and began the fireworks.

"RIGHT!" Natsu, Gray, and Lucy said.

Natsu spit fire into the sky and exploded into beautiful fireworks.

"Meow," Milliena said in awe.

"May your journeys bring you joy." Erza said as she was crying.

"HERE YOU GO!" Gray yelled as he fired a firework from his Ice Make Demon Cannon.

"Watch this!" Lucy said as she unleashed a powerful light spell that scattered throughout the sky.

Sho was showing tears of sadness and joy at the sight of the fireworks and the words from Erza.

"I wish we could stay together but I know that I would only hold you back. I don't want that, after all the years you spent in that tower you deserved to be free." Erza said as Sho, Wally, and Milliena were leaving on their boat crying.

"We never thought! We've held you back!" Milliena cried.

"If we did stay, we only remind you of painful memories!" Wally cried.

"I had so much more than painful memories with you. Besides what we've been through made us stronger. It brought us closer. I will always treasure our memories both the good and the bad. I wish you luck on your new lives ahead. This isn't a goodbye! We'll meet again one day!" Erza said.

Meanwhile with Sho, Wally, and Milliena…

"We'll miss you Sis!/ Hope to see you Erzy Wizzy!/Yeah we see each other!" Sho, Milliena, and Sho said as they cried.

"Then I'll be waiting…" Erza said.

Later at the Resort in Natsu and Lucy's suite …

"Natsu, I can't believe Erza had to say goodbye to her friends." Lucy said sadly.

"I know, but one day this will happen to us or our friends. BUt like Erza said we must live life to the fullest." Natsu said.

"Oh really? Then we must do it quickly then…" Lucy said deviously as she pushed down Natsu and put herself on top of Natsu.

"Uhh, Lucy what are you-" Natsu said in shock as she kissed him.

"Natsu, I want to show you how much I like you…" Lucy said as she took off her shirt and began kissing him.

SKIPPING THE LEMON BECAUSE I DON'T WRITE LEMONS BUT LET'S JUST SAY THEY DID IT AND BOTH GAVE AWAY THEIR VIRGINITY TO EACH OTHER AND LEAVE IT AT THAT…

Later the two were naked covered only by the blanket...

"Wow that was amazing." Natsu said as he panted.

"Yeah, good night Natsu...ZZZZZZZ." Lucy said as she started to sleep.

"Heh, good night Lucy." Natsu said as he kissed Lucy's head then went to sleep.

One Week Later…

Team Wildcard returns to Fairy Tail's guildhall and they are shocked to see it…

"It's finished?" Erza said in shock.

"Wow…" Lucy said.

"They finished building it!" Happy and Natsu said in awe.

"Behold, the new guild hall!" Gray said.

As Wildcard entered the guildhall…

"No way, we got a cafe." Gray said.

"Why is there a gift shop here?" Lucy asked.

"Hey, isn't that Max over there?" Happy said as he pointed at the Gift Shop.

"Hey, guys I heard from Levy the adventure you all had." Max said.

"They got you working in the giftshop Max?It's been awhile man." Happy asked.

"Master wanted me to learn about business." Max said.

"So, you're Max Alors, I read about you in the Sorcerer's Weekly." Lucy said.

"Yep, that's me and you must be Lucy Heartfilla "The Sin of Vanity". I heard a lot of things about you." Max said.

"I can neither confirm nor deny them." Lucy said.

"So, what are you selling here?" Happy asked.

"Oh, we got tee shirts, cups, and action figures. Especially these Lucy figurines and our prized jewel, the limited edition: Team Wildcard set figurines." Max said as he showed them the Lucy figurines that can have their clothes removed and the Wildcard figurines beach were in battle positions.

"Max, did you ask my permission to use me?" Lucy asked with a scary evil tone.

"No, the Master said it was okay…. Please don't hurt me!" Max said in fear.

"I'll have one Lucy figurine please." Natsu asked.

"NATSU!" Lucy yelled at Natsu.

Later as they enter the building itself.

"Pretty," Lucy and Happy said in awe.

"I could get used to this." Erza said.

"Hey, Flamehead what's wrong?" Gray asked.

"It just doesn't feel the same." Natsu said.

"Lucy! It's good to have you here!" Levy yelled.

"Hey! Levy." Lucy said.

"Lu, it's amazing here! There's a pool, a game room, and we can go to the 2nd floor now!" Levy said.

"Yo!" Elfman said from the top floor.

"We are even allowed to go on S-Class quests but only if a S-Class Wizard comes along." Levy said.

"Well, I'm glad you dunderheads are okay. I would like you to meet our newest guild members Juvia Lockser, Gajeel Redfox, and Simon Mikazuchi." Makarov said.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Juvia said.

"Hey, Erza." Simon said.

"What up idiots." Gajeel said.

"I thank you two for your help in the tower." Erza said.

"Well, I had my doubts with Gajeel joining but here we are." Gray said.

"What you say!" Gajeel yelled.

"Hey, Juvia! Long time no see!" Lucy said with a smile.

"YOU ARE MY LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia said as she got into Lucy's face and produced a menacing aura.

"You do realize I can destroy you very easily." Lucy said calmly.

"So, Simon, why did you join the guild?" Erza asked.

"Oh, it's because my girlfriend is a member here." Simon said.

"Girlfriend? Who is it?" Erza asked but then realized Simon's last words.

"It can't be…" Erza thought.

"It's me…" Ultear said as she walked up behind Wildcard.

"HUH?!" Erza and Gray said in shock.

"Yeah, we're dating so what?" Ultear said as she grabbed Simon's arm.

"Nothing, it's just that someone that I treat like a brother is dating Gray's sister is unreal." Erza said.

"Man, this still doesn't feel like home." Natsu said.

Just then the lights went out. Then a spot light shines on Mirajane on stage with a guitar and microphone.

"Huh? Mirajane, hey Mira what are you doing." Smaug/Natsu asked.

"Oh, welcome Natsu, you too Smaug. I would like to dedicate this song. To Team Wildcard the strongest team in Fairy Tail to congratulate them on their safe return." Mirajane said.

"KNOCK EM DEAD! WE LOVE YOU MIRA!" the crowd yelled.

"As I walk past. Your room. My shadow. Falls through your door. One more day. You're not here. One more night. I'm alone," Mirajane sang.

"You go Mira!" the crowd said.

",Gazing up. At the stars about. I pray that they Guide your way . Just look up . And follow the starlight. Come back to me," Mirajane sang.

"I'm so happy they all came back safely." Makarov thought.

",Soon. So when your eyes begin to fill with tears. Look on. And when the night swallows…" Mirajane sang.

"I can't believe how fast my Fairy Tail children are growing. Maybe I should retire and leave the mantle of Guildmaster to Gildarts or August." Makarov thought.

",Here. Under the starry sky. To light your pathway. Just count on the stars. Follow them to your door. Follow them home." Mirajane sang as she finished.

"YEAH! THAT WAS AWESOME! BEAUTIFUL!" the crowd yelled.

"Who's next? Bring them up!" Macao shouted.

And the next person was Gajeel wearing a white hat, white tuxedo, shades, and using a guitar as well.

"AH!" everyone yelled in shock.

"HUH?!" Natsu said in shock.

"Wrote a tune I call "Best Friend". Would ya like to hear it? Well, here it goes." Gajeel said as the crowd was booing at him and yelling at him to get off the stage. Then he started to sing.

"You're sparkling, And colorful, shoo-Bee-Doo-Ba. You caught my eye. Like a shiny piece of metal. So cool…" Gajeel sang as Wildcard was still in shock.

"Hey, he's not half bad!" Elfman said with a smile.

"Show them what you can do Gajeel!" Levy and Juvia cheered.

"ROCK ON!" Macao, Wakaba, and Max said.

"Doo doo doo. Sha la la…" Gajeel continued to sing but everyone was either cheering or booing at Gajeel.

Meanwhile outside…

Lauxus was outside of the guild and was disappointed with what had happened.

Back inside…

"Shoo-Bee-Doo-Ba. Sha la la . One bite is never enough!" Gajeel sang.

"This is the worst song ever of all time." Smuag/Inferno said while using Natsu's body.

Just then…

BAM!

"AHH!" NAtsu said in pain.

Then Gajeel was cursing at Natsu for insulin ghim despite Gajeel speaking through a harmonica.

"You want a piece of me?!" Smaug asked in anger.

"Shoo-Bee-Doo-BA!" Gajeel said as he and Natsu kicked at each other.

"Me and Smaug had enough with your, " chee-Boo-Bee-Da."" Inferno said as he took over Natsu.

"That's "sho-Bee-Doo-Ba," you moron." Gajeel said as he fought Inferno/Smaug.

"Please, stop! We just got this place rebuilt!" Makarov said with a panic tone.

Then a stray mug that was aimed at Gajeel hits Natsu.

"OKAY WHO THREW THAT!" Inferno yelled as his head burst into flames.

"Inferno! Smaug! Would you two quit screwin' around already?" Gray said as he accidentally knocked over Erza's cake and it fell onto the floor.

"He made me drop my strawberry cake. Ahh!" Erza said but then screamed in horror as her cake was squashed by Elfman's foot.

"Oh no," Simon said as he and Ultear jump over behind the bar.

"Now listen up! If you were real men, you'd take this outside." Elfman said.

"WATCH IT, YOU OAF!" Erza yelled as she requipped to her samurai armor and kicked Elfman.

Then the entire guild got into a brawl even Lucy and Happy joined in the fight. Chairs were thrown, wine bottles shattered, and one master crying.

But as Natsu looked around and saw the brawl he felt at home. But just then he was punched but Gajeel and continued their fight.

Later…

At Magnolia Park…

"Okay, why did you want me here? Make it fast. I gotta get to work." Gajeel asked.

"We got a bone to pick with you." Jet said with venom in his tone.

"After what you did to us, there's no way you're joining our guild." Droy said with the same tone as Jet.

"C'mon guys, can't you just forgive and forget?" Gajeel said.

"Guys, he's right. He was forced to attack us remember? And now he's in the guild now we won't be secretly dating." Levy said.

"He's probably going to dump you for a better girl." Jet said coldly.

"So, we got to teach him a lesson that he can't mess with us." Droy said coldly.

Then Gajeel suddenly smirked at the two.

"That's right, go ahead and act tough. While you still can!" Jet said as he sped up and kicked Gajeel.

"Secret Seeds: Knuckle Plant!" Droy said as he threw seeds at the ground. Then they grew and punched Gajeel all over the place.

"Falcon Heaven Soar!" Jet yelled as he used his speed to kick Gajeel back.

"Gajeel…" Levy said in worry as Gajeel winces in pain.

"You had enough yet?" Jet said.

"What happened to the tough-Guy act?" Droy said.

"You're not giving the new guy a hard time, are ya?" Laxus asked as he appeared behind Shadow Gear.

"Laxus." Jet and Droy said in shock.

"But seeing this guy is the one who tore down our guild hall. I understand how you feel. I bet the old geezer let you join because you were his spy or afraid you would wreck the place again. " Laxus said as he approached Gajeel.

"We've become the laughing stock of the magic community because of you!" Laxus said in an angered tone.

"On my way back from a job I stopped off at a few pubs and I heard some things that really pissed me off. Everyone was talking about how weak the Fairy Tail guild has become. No one dared to say that about us before you came along!" Lauxs said as he blasted Gajeel with a bolt of lightning.

"Ahh!" Gajeel screamed in pain.

"Now die!" Laxus said as he threw a lightning infused punch to the ground and it traveled to Gajeel which sent Gajeel into a tree.

"You're taking this too far. Calm down, man." Jet said.

"I know Laxus is strong and all, but Gajeel shouldn't go down that easily," Droy said.

"I didn't realize it… He's not fighting back." Jet said with a realization.

"Gajeel, please fight back I don't want to lose you…" Levy thought to herself as she teared up.

"You never should've messed with Fairy Tail, punk! Cause now you're gonna have to deal with me!" Laxus said as he stomps on Gajeel's head repeatedly with lightning infused stomps.

Jet and Droy were in shock and scared of Laxus to move but LEvy decided to move despite her fear...

"Laxus stop! You're going too far!" Levy said.

"I'm not taking orders from you! You're worse than the two newbies from Phantom Lord you TRAITOR!" Laxus said as he launched a lightning bolt at Levy.

"Iron Dragon Slayer Forbidden Art: Lightning Rod…" Gajeel said as he appeared in front of Levy and made sure to take the bolt.

As Levy opened her eyes. She saw Gajeel took the bolt of lightning.

"Gajeel," Levy said in shock and horror.

Laxus was unimpressed by his actions. But, Jet and Droy were shocked by the act of selflessness from Gajeel.

"Hey, Shrimp you okay?" Gajeel asked Levy.

"Uh… Yeah," Levy said.

"Good… cause I got other things to do." Gajeel said as he limped away.

"Gajeel…" Levy said.

"I'll be fine, Shrimp don't worry," Gajeel said.

Then Laxus left the area…

"Tch… I can't take much more of this. Fairy Tail has become totally pathetic. It's nothing but a joke now. The stupid old geezer's running it into the ground. When I take over the guild things are gonna change!" Laxus thought with rage.
