SailorStar9: After getting Chapter 56 out, this is Chapter 57 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 OCs.
Chapter 57: Dead-End of Despair
"Damn it, they never show up when you search for them." Gray complained. "Where are these 7 Kin of Purgatory guys?"
"Gray, you know what they say about Murphy's Law, right?" Ulyo deathpanned.
"Whatever." Gray shrugged. "And that Cana sure was in a foul mood. Did she run out of booze and… Wait… Now that I think of it, I haven't seen her drink since we got to Tenroujima. Is she going cold turkey?"
"Gray, this is Cana we're talking about." Ulyo reminded.
"Good point." Gray nodded. "This way." He hushed her, the pair hiding behind a tree when they heard a rustle in the bushes. I sense someone.
"Soon, you'll return to being the true king, Zeref…" Ultear muttered, heaving the unconscious Zeref off.
Zeref? Gray mused. That man she's carrying on her shoulder? Ul! He was stunned when he focused on Ultear.
"Aneue…" Ulyo breathed. "Ultear-nee-sama…"
"Ulyo, don't have a breakdown here!" Gray hissed. "She's Grimoire Heart, our enemy. Come on," he pulled her off. "We're following them."
"What's this…" Ulyo choked, Meredy's 'Sensory Link' was linked to her. "Lost Magic: Maguilty Sense." She recognized the seal on her wrist. Mere minutes later, she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying out in pain when Meredy's attack hit Juvia on the arm. "What in the world…" she panted, Juvia's onslaught backfiring with Meredy cast the 'Three Spread Sensory Link' spell. "Is that you, Juvia?"
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
