Previously on Fairy Tail
Since Sabertooth was coming to help them and Vyra unfortunately couldn't meet up, the least she could do is give him some of her sunlight.
"I will Vyra-" She accepted it
"I will!" She repeated reassuringly, noticing how much the decision of Vyra going south affected her emotions.
Sting and Vyra... they were a stronger force. Together. What if something happens? What if the last time she saw her old guild was when she departed?
What if the last time she saw him was-
At least if they were to die together, they'd do everything to protect one another-
But not being able to fight this with him made Vyra anxious. She is a member of Sabertooth and can't even fight alongside her guild?
It wasn't just about Sting either.
Yukino-
Minerva-
Lector, Froshe, Olga, Rufus-
...
'So Rogue-' She looked down at her shadow before heading out of the double doors.

'I'm leaving Sting to you'
Northern Fiore
"There they are. That's the enemy battalion-"
The northern Fairy Tail group was currently waiting at their position in the snowy mountains.
"We're pretty late for our rendezvous with Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus-" Gajeel narrated looking out the the large enemy group slowly approaching
"They're coming this way-" Lisanna pointed
"What should we do?"
"What do ya think?" Elfman shot back
"We fight 'em of course-"
"I don't know... can we take on that many?" Levy went on
"Don't worry, the other guilds will be here soon-"
"If we gotta do it, then so be it. These clowns aren't marching on our guild-" Gajeel came to terms with the six of them battling alone
But jeez.
'Where the hell was everybody?'
"Everyone better get ready to fight!" The dragon slayer shouted before their bodies went stiff, eyes widening
"What-"
"What the hell..."
"-is that?!"
The group couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Members of Sabertooth and Blue Pegasus... were tied up on crucifixes heads hanging in defeat. They were all unconscious and severely badly injured...
"That's Sting!" Lily screamed in anger noticing the twin dragon slayers leading the pack
"And Rogue!"
What makes it even more despicable, that it wasn't only the men, but the women as well.
Levy gasped with tears almost brought to her eyes seeing Jenny, Yukino and Minerva.
"That is so mess up-"
"They're showing them off..."
"Like they're some kind of stinking prize!" Gajeel seethed
"Come on Sting! Wake up!" The dragon slayer shook the guild master laying his head on his lap
Withering in pain, the blonde winced, opening his eyes. His vision was blurred, but could make out that it was the iron dragon slayer in an instant.
"All the o-others-"
Leave it to Sting to think about everyone else but himself first.
The trauma they just endured not only physically but mentally, shook a boy to the core. He was practically trembling in Gajeel's arms.
What an embarrassment. To have got to be in a pulp so badly.
"A-Are t-they still a-alive?"
"Safe and sound-" Gajeel reassured turning his head watching Levy help Rogue as Lily had some of the Blue Pegasus members thrown over his shoulders
"Don't worry-"
"What a d-disgrace!" Tears began to well up in his eyes
"We didn't stand a chance... w-we're w-weak..." His voice began to crack tensing up the muscles in his throat
"Don't beat yourself up. We'll get revenge for you-" Gajeel's voice softened
He wanted to show up Sting and Rogue so bad, but with these turn of events-
It ultimately brought the dragon slayers closer together.
"They'll be picking their teeth up off the ground-"
"What's happening something's n-not right-" Levy turned watching the seasons change right before her eyes
"It's so weird the snow is melting-"
Southern Fiore
"What the hell are you doing here?" Lyon gawked in shock as he watched the five Fairy Tail wizards intervene in their fight (Gray, Vyra, Juvia, Wendy and Erza)
"Lyon!" Vyra jumped down next to the ice mage
"This was our battle from the start!" The red head began
"We never expected other guilds to but in-"
...
"Can't you guys be nicer? They are helping us-" The moonlight mage sweat dropped standing next to the lamia scale ice wizard
Vyra had to admit, she had a soft spot for Lyon.
"but here you are-" Erza went on
"So thank you."
Wow. So Erza listened. That last sentence made the bluenette do a double take.
"Let's get moving-" The red head landed next to her Mermaid Heel protogé
"Right-"
With Erza, Vyra and Kagura
"And why is she... with us?" Kagura turned her head questioning Erza as the three female wizards made their way down to the harbour front
"I get that you don't exactly like me-" Vyra answered scrunching her nose
Kagura hated Vyra with a passion (And we all know why) therefore, Vyra's feelings about the mermaid were completely mutual.
"but you're just going to have to deal-" She proceeded to transform into her sunlight form
"Wait, there's someone there-" Erza halted causing the other two to stop
"We're the four crest knights of the ninth division-"
"You have no chance getting past us-"
"You think that'll stop us?" Vyra shouted easily knocking the two out
"We're the four crest knights because there's four of us!" Another two men shouted from above catching the girl off guard as she looked up to see someone else strike them down
The three girls below were full of shock with what they just witnessed.
Especially Kagura.
"It's you..." Erza and Vyra gasped
"J-Jellal?!"
The ex council member jumped down as the four knights were instantly KO'd.
"Sorry I didn't get here sooner-" He stood up
"You should hide your face-" Erza's eyes widened
Since Jellal was the one council member everyone was after, it would be imperative for him to take cover.
"No, I'm done running and hiding-" He locked eyes with Vyra as she let out a small tight lipped smile
Why? Because she was done hiding too. Her whole life up until the Grand Magic Games, being a part of Fairy Tail... she couldn't be who she really was.
Hiding behind a mask for a years...
And this is who they are. Finally able to show their true selves.
Jellal and Vyra Fernades.
"I made the decision for me to try and defeat Zeref once and for all-"
. . .
Once making it down to the waterfront; entering one of the ships, something strange began to happen. It was day to night in under ten seconds.
"What's happening?" Erza spazzed
"It's so dark, I can't see a thing-" Vyra froze not moving a muscle
It's terrifying when you can't see one step in front of you.
'Wait a minute-' Jellal turned
'I know this magic...'
"It's been awhile since the gang was back together? Remember my dark moment spell?"
That voice caused all four of their eyes to widen.
"What the-"
"What the hell?!"
"Nostalgic isn't it?" The man spoke as the haze cleared revealing the man
"S-Simon..."
"Y-Your... s-still alive?"
Jellal and Erza were stunned to the core.
"You seem very different these days, Jellal-" Simon eyed the ex council member
"and you... could you be-" His attention turned to Kagura
"B-Big brother!"
The mermaid was in complete shock with tears beginning to well up.
This wasn't right. There's no way that he could've survived, something was fishy about this... one hundred percent.
"Cut the crap!" Vyra shouted putting an arm up in defense stopping Kagura from moving forward
"Simon died!"
Someone had to remind them that they were in the middle of a war. Obviously someone was trying to play mind tricks with them.
"Y-You-" Kargura shook in rage turning to Vyra
"You bitch!"
Disregarding the blunette, Kargura ran over as Simon vanished into thin air. Leaving Jellal, Erza and Kagura speechless considering they all had an emotional connection to the man.
"Haha! Very clever coming from the moonlight goddess~"
A man appeared from the second story of that wooden ship sitting on a beam.
"You saw it yourself, I can create lifeforms that can control magic upon other things-"
'That's his magic?'
"Living beings with memories and feelings connected to one's heart..." The four continued to stare in disbelief
"Oh? That wasn't good enough for you?" The man teased
"Let me try this then-" His eyes locked on the moonlight mage with a devious smile as the wooden floor boards slowly began to creak from behind
There was an eerie feeling in the air...
Turning, Vyra's eyes widened, losing almost all feeling in her body.
'But... h-how?'
"E-Erik..."
He was exactly how she last saw him at the Grand Magic Games banquet. Her voice hitched, taking a small step back.
The others had confused reactions especially the older ex council member that was part of the group.
"Cobra?" Jellal questioned with a twisted expression looking at the artificially made poison dragon slayer
Hearing the waver in her voice and how shaken up she was...
What does a member from the Oracion Seis... have to do with Vyra?
"Vyra-"
His voice even sounded the same somehow...
'N-No... he's not real-' She scrunched her eyes shut
"Oh yes, you share a true and caring historia-"
"Your historia has a bit of everything huh?"
"Love, pain, friendship, heartbreak-"
"This is your doing?" Erza shouted at the green haired man
"I'm impressed you grasped the situation so quickly-"
"This is the manifestation of your historia's-" He went on
"Someone you hold in your heart~"
Jellal's eyes shifted over to Vyra and Cobra; as Erza watched Kagura and Simon.
"I can't believe it, it's really you... Kagura..."
"Vyra, I missed you-"
"This is bad-" Erza bit her lip watching the girls who stood in astonishment
"Control yourself, it isn't really him, it's just an illusion!" Jellal and Erza got in front of Kagura who was preparing to strike
"Get out of my way!" The mermaid raged
"Look out!"
The bluenette's eyes widened as she watched a beam of light hit Jellal, Erza and Kagura, sending them into the ocean.
Everything for the girl was moving in slow motion. Her heart was racing unbelievably fast as she ran to the edge of the deck gripping the wooden rail.
Fear started to take over her body.
"J-JELLAL!"
"ERZA!"
Once Neinhart of the Springgan 12 snapped his fingers, Vyra instantly dodged, turning back around locking eyes with a pink haired mage.
"You thought our paths would never cross again my dear?"
'What the-'
"Trinity Raven's gone! I defeated you!" The girl shouted
"Ikaruga, an exquisitely dangerous flower~"
"You're not the moonlight mage I remember from years ago, what happened my love?" Ikaruga taunted as one of her strikes landed a direct hit on the blunette
Blood began to seep through her sunlight attire, dripping on the deck. Cubellios slithered along the edge of the boat out of sight before it made its attack.
"Surely you have the power to stand?" She teased as Vyra fell to her knees
Feeling a tight grip on her left ankle, the bluenette's eyes widened turning to see a large purple snake slither around her body
Before she could do anything, the Cubellios whipped her in the air as the poison dragon slayer upper cutted her with his poison dragon claw.
'E-Er-ik-' She gasped eyes locking with the imposter
He... looked so real.
A-And-
His attack's... were his attacks-
Vyra's body went numb feeling the poison start to course through her veins.
"This is my magic! The Historia of Memories!" Neinhart praised as a third person now stood between Erik and Ikaruga
"With it, I can breathe new life into battles of old!"
'You've got to be kidding me...' Vyra hazy looked up from her seemingly defeated position
Flashes inside of the Tartaros prison whirled through Vyra's mind.
"Kyoka..."
"Dragon slayer-" The green haired woman turned to Erik
"Tie her up, why don't you?" She spoke as the mage snapped his fingers with a cunning smirk cuing Cubellios to go
The snake wrapped itself around Vyra's wrists, hanging her from the second story of the deck.
"Well this takes me back Fer-nan-des, you do remember don't you?" Kyoka teased getting up in the blunettes face who barley had enough strength to hold her head up
"Oh how I do miss you pleading screams~" She trailed her finger tips up and down the side of the girls bare torso
She always did get a sick sense of pleasure watching people in pain-
Grabbing a fist full of her blue locks yanking her head up, Kyoka readied her whip.
"AND YOU'LL FINALLY GET TO DIE BY MY HAND!"
A/N: If you remember Ikaruga from the TOH Arc, she kinda had a weird obsession with Vyra. I changed Historia of Corpses to Memories because I wanted to incorporate Erik into it somehow.
But the drama's heating up o.o
