SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 21 out, this is Chapter 22 of this fic. (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 22: Triple Dragon
"Warren!" Gray yelled, entering the square. "Where is he? Damn it!"
"198…" Erza panted, summoning more of her blades as Ulyo's crystal particles congregated to form her 'Crystal Release: Shuriken Wild Dance'. "199… I'm still unable to destroy all of these at once. I'm already at the limit of my magical power. There's no time left, I can't let Ulyo sacrifice her life. What should I do? Unless with another hundred blades…" she conjured up another sword. "There's no way."
"Hey, can everyone hear me?" Warren's voice sounded via telepathy.
"Warren?" Erza blinked.
"This is an emergency." Warren continued. "Look up at the sky."
"This link is…" Erza wondered. "Telepathy?"
"Everyone, quit slacking off already!" Warren scolded. "Anyone still engaged in battle, stop already. Everyone, listen closely. We need to destroy all of those floating things – even with the last drop of our magical power. It's the magic Laxus is gonna use to annihilate the entire city. There's no time left. Everyone, please play their part."
"Warren, how did you learn about the Thunder Palace?" Erza questioned.
"That voice… "Gray trailed. "Erza? Are you all right?"
"Gray." Erza breathed. "Now I get it. It was you."
"Yeah, it took me some time to find this guy." Gray replied.
"Erza?" Jet echoed. "You're no longer petrified?"
"So if Erza is fine…" Dory mused. "How about the rest? What about Levy?"
"Everyone is safe." Erza assured.
"Juvia is fine too." Elfman added.
"So is Bisca." Mira informed. "Alzack."
"I'm sorry." Warren cut in. "My Telepathy can't reach all the way to the Guild. As for now, we will have to manage with the rest, who can hear me. Please destroy those things in the sky."
"Damn you, Warren!" Max snapped. "Have you forgotten what you did to me?"
"About that…" Warren stammered. "I'm so sorry…"
"Save all you bitching for later!" Gray roared, twitching at the complaints passing through Warren's 'Telepathy'.
"As if you have a say in this!" the others shouted back.
"There is no time left!" Gray screamed down Warren's ear. "Hurry up and destroy those things in the sky!"
"Everyone, enough!" Ulyo retorted, silencing the rest up. "This isn't the time for us to fight among ourselves like this. The townspeople are being put in harm's way. We have to put aside our trivial problems and work together to protect Magnolia."
"Ulyo is right." Lucy agreed. "When we combine our powers, the sky is the limit. That's what I learnt after coming here. I know I joined Fairy Tail not too long ago, but my feelings for the Guild are second to none. Being a part of Fairy Tail has been my cherished dream. It's always been my goal in life. That's why, please, let's combine our strength. Let's defend our precious Guild and our very own town."
"And if you are still not convinced," Ulyo added, her formation at the ready as Lucy drew out her whip. "I will destroy all the Lacrimas myself!"
"Listen up all of you." Cana remarked. "After hearing such sincere words from our Guild Guardian and the newcomer, you still don't feel anything?"
"She's no longer a newcomer." Wakaba corrected. "Her Fairy Tail spirit is stronger than mine or anyone else. Ulyo, Lucy, it's just as you two said. We will set our differences for now."
"Everyone…" Ulyo breathed.
"What's happening?" Erza gaped when a glowing light orb descended upon Ulyo, her crystal shuriken formation vanishing as her 'Charmix' suit changed into her 'Enchantix' suit,, complete with a pair of butterfly wings on her back. "The legendary… 'Enchantix'." She realized.
"Everyone," the newly-transformed Ulyo voiced. "Stop your attacks for a second."
"Ulyo, what are you plan…" Warren trailed off when he and Gray spotted the flying 'Enchantix' Fairy, her 'Jade Lotus' floating above her palm.
"'Enchantix'?" Laki blinked in surprise. "Since when did that happen?"
Raising the 'Jade Lotus' with her cupped hands, Ulyo let loose a swirl of 'Fairy Dust', effectively nullifying the 'Living Link Magic' that was embedded in the Lacrimas.
"Right, now that Ulyo has removed the 'Living Link Magic' from the Lacrimas, it's our turn." Erza instructed. "Leave the two hundred in the north to me! The rest of you take out everything left around in the south. Go forth, my blades!"
"We did it." Ulyo breathed in relief, landing as her transformation reversed, the Lacrimas having been destroyed by everyone's efforts. "Is everyone all right?" she inquired. "For crying out loud… your recklessness knows no bounds."
"As if you are the one to talk." Gray joked. "Releasing such a large amount of 'Fairy Dust', will your wings be able to replenish the dust you used?"
"Oh, shut up." Ulyo grinned. "Looks like we have to leave Laxus to the two idiots."
"Spot on." Marco agreed.
