SailorStar9: After getting the prologue out, this is Chapter 1 of this fic. If you guys have been wondering where I disappeared to, I've been preparing for my exams these past four days. So, without further ado, onto this chapter. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and my OC.

Chapter 1: 15 Minutes

"Hey!" Alzack gasped when Porlyusica slapped the unconscious Makarov across the face.

"How could you do that to Master…" Bisca protested. "I mean an injured person."

"This is the result of him being reckless, despite his age." Porlyusica replied. "Honestly, what a fool. How long were you planning on staying here?" she barked at the two mages. "Go home already!"

"Yes, but Master's in this condition…" Alzack voiced.

"Please let us nurse him." Bisca requested.

"Go on home." Porlyusica advised. "Being surrounded by fretful faces is the worst poison for a sick man."

"This is from wind magic, isn't it?" Ulyo inquired, after a diagnostic scan. "Drain. In other words, it dries you out. It's a fearful magic that forces the target's magical power to discharge."

"The discharged magical power floats about in the air and vanishes." Porlyusica added. "If Makarov's magic was recollected then, he could have recovered quickly. But it's too late now. It will drag on…"

"Is that so?" Alzack muttered.

"I will inform everyone." Bisca assured.

"You're still here?" Porlyusica fumed.

"Didn't you want us to stay and listen?" Alzack stammered.

"Go home right now!" Porlyusica's broom was out. "I can't bear the stench of humans!"

"Excuse us then!" the couple fled.

"You too, Ulyo!" Porlyusica glared at her student.

"I understand." Ulyo bowed. "Then, I'll take my leave."

"Loke," Ulyo looked at Ring Mage. "In reality, you're… okay people!" she barked, going into full doctor mode. "Sit down, shut up and let me heal the heck out of all of you before any of you go planning on a counterattack!"

"Looks like Ulyo picked up her master's temper too." Happy joked, as the younger mages watched Ulyo march the more injured mages into the next room.

"You're asking for a 'Water Vortex Storm', Happy." Ulyo warned.

"No sense of humor." The blue Exceed muttered and was nearly skewered by a water senbon.

"I'll aim a little lower next time." Ulyo growled.

"What was that?" Gray gaped when a tremor struck the battered Guild.

"Outside!" Alzack barked.

"What the hell is that?" Natsu exclaimed as the Phantom Lord's mobile base started approaching them.

"That Guild is walking." Happy noted.

"Phantom?" Loke asked.

"What are we going to do?" Wakaba stammered.

"It's beyond my expectations…" Erza admitted. "I never thought they'd attack this way."

"The Magic Compacto Cannon, Jupiter," Jose voiced in his fortress. "Ready… eradicate them." He gave the order.

"This is bad!" Erza realized. "Everyone, take cover!"

"Erza!" Mira gasped as the Reqiup Mage dashed forward.

"Ulyo!" Macao shouted as the water mage shot off. "What're you planning to do?"

"She ex-quipped?" Cana echoed as Erza donned on her armor.

"You're not touching the Guild!" Erza stood firm.

"It's the Adamantine Armor!" Happy supplied.

"She can't be planning to take it head on." Bisca realized.

"Even if that armor has super defensive powers, still…" Alzack protested.

"Stop it, Erza!" Wakaba warned. "You'll die!"

"Take cover!" Erza barked.

"Water Entrapment Wall!" Ulyo's water wall was in place just as the cannon fired, with Erza activating the Magic Barrier.

The blast was nullified by both shields, the impact knocking Erza out.

"Amazing…" Macao was stunned. "They actually stopped it."

"Makarov," Jose voiced. "And now Erza; both have been incapacitated. You have no chance of victory now." he declared. "Hand over Lucy Heartfilla. Right now."

"You must be kidding!" Alzack snapped.

"There isn't a Guild that would present a member to the enemy." Bisca agreed.

"Hand her over." Jose repeated.

"We'd rather die than sell out our comrade!" Erza retorted.

"If that's the case, I'll feed you an extra-large blast of Jupiter!" Jose fumed. "Wallow in fear for fifteen minutes it takes to recharge. Take a glimpse of Hell, Fairy Tail." He sent out his Shades. "There are only two options left for you. Be eliminated by my troops or be blown to bits by Jupiter."

"We must do something about Jupiter." Ulyo reasoned, Gray helping her up.

"I'll smash it up." Natsu declared. "There're fifteen minutes left, right? Let me try."

"Right." Ulyo chuckled. "I'm counting on you, Natsu."

"Happy!" the Dragon Slayer shot off.

"Mira, get Lucy out of the way." Ulyo instructed, removing her Guardian Ring.

"Right." Mira nodded. "Lucy, come this way."

"Gentei Kaijo!" the stone on her Ring blazed gold as the jagged mark on Ulyo's upper chest vanished as she released her limiter seal, a large magic circle appeared underneath her feet as she donned on her Guild Guardian armor.

"The Guardian of Dreams…" Erza gawked in shock. "The Guild Guardian of Fairy Tail. If Master is Fairy Tail's sword, then Ulyo is the Guild's shield."

"Gray, Elfman." The newly-revealed Guild Guardian instructed. "Back Natsu up."

"On it." Gray nodded, still in awe at her new transformation. "Elfman, we're boarding it too." Both males following Natsu.

"We'll fortify the defenses here." Cana brought out her cards, the mages' morale boosted due to the emergence of the Guild Guardian.
