The Assassins of Fairy Tail

Job Thirty: The Assassin's Thoughts

"For Starters, I'll put you out of your misery, Warrod." God Serena held out his hand in front of the fourth strongest Wizard Saint with a smirk on his face. "'God' bye-bye."

Warrod knew his end was inevitable as God Serena prepared his final attack on him. "Mavis…these next breaths may be my last…" He raised his head and stared down at the former Wizard Saint as his hand started to ingrain into the ground. "However, as a founding member of Fairy Tail, I don't plan on kicking the bucket without a price!" Giant trees erupted from the earth and carried God Serena up away from him. "I'M TAKING YOU DOWN WITH ME, GOD SERENA!"

God Serena wasn't expecting Warrod to have this much fight left within him as he was continued to be carried upward by the trees. Wolfheim followed Warrod's thinking and immediately jumped back up on the ground. He used his Beast Transformation magic to transform himself. Wolfheim jumped up to where God Serena was while roaring and struck him while destroying the trees that ensnared the former first Wizard Saint. Jura was next as he made a few gestures with his fingers and several large stone fists came out of the ground struck God Serena at once. He was actually impressed by their effort. "Well, well, looks like you lot can actually accomplish something when you-" He gasped as his eyes widened when saw Draculos held his hand in front of him. "Hyberion!" God Serena was slammed back into the ground.

August and Jacob saw the whole thing happen in front of them. August knew what kind of magic Draculos was using. "I see. Vampire magic. Even from an observer's standpoint, I'm impressed."

God Serena took on a massive amount of damage from the four Wizard Saints before him and was kneeling before Draculos. "It seems your hubris will be your undoing, God Serena."

God Serena's response was just a low growl at him. Jacob tugged at his gloves as he ready to aid his fellow Shield but August blocked with his staff. "This is no cause for concern. It's been a while since I've last seen it, so let us sit back and enjoy…his true power."

God Serena grinned wickedly as the sclera from his eyes turned black while his iris' became white. His teeth sharpened as he stood up while unleashed his magic power. God Serena roared as he slammed both his hands down on the ground and it instantly broke apart as it shook violently while the rocks slammed down upon the four Wizard Saints. "CAVERN DRAGON'S EARTH DESTRUCTION!"

All four of them were struck by God Serena's attack and were blown away. Jura had never known that the former first Saint could do magic such as this. "This is…Earth Dragon Slayer Magic?"

To August, he couldn't be further from the truth. "Not quite."

God Serena pulled back his arm and fire circled around his right fist. "PURGATORY DRAGON'S BLAZING HELL!" He sent his arm forward and his four opponents were consumed by a massive sphere of fire. However, he wasn't done with them yet as his left fist had water circling around it. "SEA KING DRAGON'S ENCIRCLING DELUGE!" God Serena sent his left fist forward and unleashed massive powerful waves of water at them.

Jura had never seen anything like this before. "Fire…and water?!"

God Serena spread his arms apart and now the wind was furiously circling around his arms. "GALE DRAGON'S…"

"Wind too!?"

"That's enough, God Serena."

August's words made the former first Saint cease his attack. He saw the state he left his fellow former Saints and laughed at them. "What's this? It appears I got a bit too overzealous."

Jacob smirked at God Serena's magic. "A dragon slayer with eight different dragon lacrima residing in his body. Quite the spectacle, as always."

August would have to agree with him. "Hybrid Theory. The man loved by the dragon gods."

God Serena smirked at August's words. "Dragons worship no god and bow to no king. Before the might of my magic, all dragons shall crumble to naught but dust." With their work done, the three Shields continued on to their destination. "Now then, let us depart. We make for Fairy Tail!"

Warrod tried to move but to no avail. He couldn't allow such an opponent to reach the guild. "Someone…please…at all cost…such a fiercely powerful enemy cannot be allowed to approach the guild!" Just as he thought that he and everyone else felt a tremendously strong magic power coming at them. "What…what is this overwhelming magic I sense?"

They saw something appearing in front of the three Shields in a black swirl as the setting sun obscured the figure's appearance. Draculos couldn't figure out who was appearing before them. "Just who…"

The figure before them fully appeared and it was none other than Acnologia himself in his human form. "I smell a dragon."

God Serena and everyone else didn't expect to encounter him this soon in the war. "Acnologia…" His sudden appearance made God Serena glad for some reason as he smiled at the Black Dragon. "I'm flattered you'd come all this way to see little 'ole me. In order to take your head, I've traversed this entire continen-"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence as Acnologia destroyed the large part of the side of God Serena's body with one hand as he passed him by. It took God Serena a second to register what happened to him before falling to the ground dead. Everyone was surprised by how fast and easily Acnologia was able to dispose of one of the Shields and the former strongest Wizard Saint was no more. To Acnologia, it was just one target down. "Only seven dragon slayers remain until I become the complete Dragon of Destruction."

Acnologia continued on his way while ignoring the other Saints and Shields. Everyone saw the Black Dragon make his leave but Jacob wouldn't allow it. Not with what Acnologia did and tugged at his glove once again to teach the Dragon King a lesson. However, August wouldn't allow it. "Desist. He is not an opponent we can hope to defeat. However, if his Majesty were to obtain Fairy Heart, that may be no longer the case. For the sake of our objective, we must make haste for Fairy Tail. At all costs, we will obtain the Heart and present it as an offering to his Majesty." Jacob calmed down and the two remaining Shields continued on their way to Fairy Tail.

B

In the infirmary, Lucy and Happy were watching over Natsu hoping that he would wake up soon. They weren't the only ones looking over him. "How's his condition?" Freed asked.

To Lucy, not much has changed. "He…still hasn't opened his eyes." She was worried about how Freed thought about the others. "How are Bickslow and Ever holding up?"

Freed had confidence in his friends. "They're tough. They'll pull through."

Lucy was glad to hear that about them. "That's a relief."

Ichiya, who was now awake, overheard the conversation. "They could have forgotten about yours truly, could they?"

Speaking of the Thunder Legion, Freed was curious about a certain lightning user. "By the way, where did Laxus head off to?"

The blonde glanced over at him. "He headed south with Erza and Leone to join the battle liberate Hargeon."

"Gray and Wendy are with them too!" Happy added.

Freed thought it would be some time before he would see Laxus again but he was confident in him as he was with Erza and the others. However, he was still worried about him. "I see. I pray that he doesn't overexert himself."

Lucy thought that was highly unlikely. "Knowing him, I doubt your prayers will be answered."

Freed had to agree with Lucy on what she said. "Ah…indeed, I suppose you're right." Lucy wondered what he meant by that.

B

Erza and the others set up camp for the night and were resting before reaching Hargeon. "We'll reach Hargeon tomorrow. Our top priority today is to rest well for what's to come."

Wendy nodded at the older girl. "Got it!"

Carla just yawned. "That goes double for you, Erza. Nursing you back to health rests solely on Wendy's shoulders after all."

Leone stretched out her arms while sitting on a log as she groaned in relief. "Well, I for one can't wait to cut loose on those Alvarez guys. I'm itching for the next fight."

Juvia brought out a large sleeping bag with a heart shaped opening. "My love! Juvia had a feeling that there would be an occasion for it so…Juvia prepared a sleeping bag for two!"

Obviously wasn't on board with that. "No way! I'm getting into that oven!" Gray's answer depressed Juvia.

Wendy had noticed that one of them wasn't around with the rest of the group. "That reminds me, what happened to Laxus?"

"He said something like 'man, I'm starved!' and ran off somewhere. It was kinda strange." Carla clarified.

Gray had a theory about that. "He's the kind of guy who would capture a bear or something for dinner. I bet he's sinking his teeth into it as we speak."

"Are bears delicious?"

"Erza, you're drooling."

Wendy's statement snapped Erza out of it and immediately remembered something. "Oh yes, Wendy, I've been meaning to ask you something." The young dragon slayer wondered what Erza wanted to ask her. What she didn't expect was Erza grabbing her shoulders tightly and violently shaking her while having a crazy look in her eye. "HOW IS IT THAT YOU BECAME KAGURA'S LITTLE SISTER!? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN! PLEASE TELL ME!"

Wendy was becoming dizzy with Erza continuing to shake her. "E-E-E-E-R-R-R-Z-Z-Z-Z-A-A-A-A!"

Carla had a deadpan look on her face as she saw the scene before her. "I was wondering when she going to ask about that."

Leone was just laughing her ass off until she saw Erza stop to wince at the pain in her right shoulder. "Hey, you okay?"

Erza groaned in response as she rubbed her shoulder with her left hand. "I am. It's nothing to be concerned about."

Carla thought otherwise about that. "You shouldn't be moving her body so suddenly like that. You did fight one of the Twelve."

"Do you want me to heal you again, Erza?" Wendy suggested.

Before Erza could answer, Leone intervened. "Hold up there." They saw Leone stand up and walk over to the other girl. She intertwined her fingers and stretched out her hands together while making a cracking sound. "Let me handle this. I have some healing magic of my own in this hands." Leone separated her hands and pointed down at the ground. "Now, lie down on your stomach, please." Erza just stared at Leone for a couple of seconds before doing just that. She crossed her arms under her chin for some leverage and Leone straddled onto the other girl's waist. She moved her fingers playfully while having a happy grin on her face. "Now then…let's start, shall we?" Leone placed her hands on Erza's sides and started to massage them. Erza instantly felt the effects of Leone's massaging and moaned in pleasure. That was the sound Leone wanted to hear. "That's it, just relax and let me do all the work." Leone continued to massage Erza while Erza continued to let out…sensual moans. This continued for a while longer until Erza let out one more loud climaxing moan and that was the signal that the massage was done.

Wendy's face was beet red with what she just heard and Juvia was looking the same. Gray wasn't sure what to think what he had just witnessed. "Was that really necessary?"

Leone removed herself from Erza and sighed contently at her work as she went back to her spot. "Well, that was fun but damn was your body in knots." She sat back down.

Erza groaned as she twisted her body side to side before rolling her shoulders and moved her neck around. She was very pleased with the results. "My word Leone. You truly do have healing magic in your hands. My body has never felt so loose before. You certainly know to please a client."

The blonde chuckled happily at that. "Well, I did work at a massage parlor once so I know my way around the human body. Especially the girls. I gave Akame a really good massage this one time and- " She heard Carla clear her throat and Leone took that as a sign to stop. "Right, stopping now."

While Erza was relishing from her massage from Leone, Gray continued to stare at Leone's Imperial Arms. "Hey…" Leone looked over at his direction. "I've been wondering something about these Imperial Arms of yours. How do they work exactly?"

It was a good question for him to ask and Leone tried to come up with an answer. "Let's see…uh…" She thinking really heard of how to explain it to him."

"They work kinda similar as both caster and holder type magic." Everyone looked over at Wendy's direction. She raised up one finger. "Take Lucy's Celestial Spirit magic. She uses magic to summon her spirits but with Imperial Arms, or least some of them, grant the user the abilities they have such as Leone's Lionel and Mastema that I use. They function independently. The only way to cease their use is to either seal away their powers, take them away, or destroy them."

Hearing that cleared up a question Gray had for quite some time. "That explains why Leone was able to break out the magic seal cuffs back at one Avatar's branches. Since these Imperial Arms act independent, they're not affected by them." There was one more question he wanted to ask. Specifically, to Leone. "And what about that weird trick of yours? When you do a Take-Over while being that weird beast form of yours."

Now that was question Leone was happy to answer and smiled proudly. "Oh, that? That, my fine stripping comrade, is a genius idea."

None of them understood what she meant by that. Fortunately, Wendy was there to explain it further. "What Leone means was that she was the one who came up with the idea of combining magic with Imperial Arms."

Carla remembered that moment clearly. "Ah, yes. I do recall her saying something about 'what would happen if I were to use my Take-Over magic while in my beast form?'. She decided to try it out and it was surprisingly successful."

It was definitely one of Leone's proudest moments. "Oh, yeah and that led to something else. Something only me, Chelsea, and Wendy can do. We call it Imperial Arms Magic." She chuckled sheepishly at the name. "Not the most original name, I know."

Erza didn't think so as she finished stretching out her body. "No, it's a fine name and quite the defining one. It's quite something."

Leone smiled at the other girl as she agreed with her. "Yeah. It really is something. Combining our magic with our Imperial Arms created a magic that's stronger than either of them can do separately."

Juvia thought back to Chelsea and was curious about something. "So how does Chelsea use her Imperial Arms with her needle magic?"

The blonde laughed at that. "She doesn't. Truth be told, Chelsea's Needle magic is her back-up. Her Imperial Arms Magic is a lot more awesome and suits her better. But even that's not close in comparison to what Wendy can do with hers."

Erza had a question of her own about Akame. "

Gray could guess that on his own. "Yeah, no kidding. Using a power similar to Natsu's Lightning Flame Dragon Mode with those glowing wings is pretty impressive."

"Uh, actually Gray, that's not my Imperial Arms Magic." Gray and everyone else was surprised by Wendy's answer. "For one, I can't combine Mastema's trump card with my Ice Sky Dragon Mode because I tried doing that before but it didn't work out. I can't combine three powers at once."

Erza was astounded to hear that. "So…what is your Imperial Arms Magic then?"

Leone chuckled smugly. "Oh, it's pretty incredible and powerful. Her Ice Sky Dragon Mode is nothing compared to what Wendy can do once she uses her Imperial Arms Magic."

Wendy thought the older girl was giving her too much credit. "N-No, it's not really all that great at all. I mean after using it, it puts a huge strain on my body and I need a few moments of rest to recover from it. That's why I didn't use it back at the western continent when we were fighting one of the Spriggan Twelve trying to escape. We couldn't afford to lose a single second."

Now Gray and Erza were wondering what Wendy could do with her Imperial Arms Magic. If what they saw from before of the young dragon slayer could do in her Ice Sky Dragon Mode, they couldn't imagine what Wendy could do if she used her Imperial Arms Magic. Well, to Erza, that was a question for another time. As of now, she now had two questions to ask Leone and one of them was about Akame. And what Akame's? What is hers?"

This time, Leone's look on her face changed to uncertain. It was the same with Wendy. "That…we don't know of yet. I mean she can use her shadow magic and Murasame pretty good together but it's not quite a combination such as Chelsea's or mine." Leone did have a guess, though. "Maybe if Akame used Murasame's trump card…then maybe…"

She remembered what Akame told her about using Murasame's trump card. "I would have to discard my humanity. That is what I was taught. Slaying, carnage, and bloodshed…only when your heart embraces the demon inside, can this technique be wielded. At least, that's how I had always interpreted it."

Leone could scarcely imagine what Akame could do if Akame used Murasame's trump card and if she did, that would where her Imperial Arms Magic would lie. The thought that terrified Leone the most was what Akame could become after she activated her trump card. "Is everything alright Leone?"

Erza's question snapped Leone out of her train of thought and tried to give her a convincing smile. "Yeah, I'm alright. Just thinking what Akame told me something from before." It wasn't a total lie.

Erza didn't buy it as she knew there was more than what Leone had told them but didn't want to bother with the subject anymore. With one question out of the way, she had one left and smile at the other girl. "I see. Then let me ask you this. It's been about six months since you and the others arrived in our world. I'm curious to know what you think of it so far."

Leone smiled softly at the question and lowered her head to look at the ground. "When I first your world through Wendy's memories, I thought it was beautiful and since coming here…" She chuckled a little. "It's like night and day compared to when I was living in the Capital and every request me and the others took, we saw more of that. More of this land, the people, I never thought I would see such sights in my life. I never even comprehended it." Leone raised her head to look back at Erza and the others. "It's because of that is why I'm willing to fight with everything I got against Alvarez. I may be not from this world but I'll sure as hell fight them tooth and nail to protect it from them. Their soldiers and those Spriggan Twelve assholes."

Erza could perfectly understand Leone's reasoning. "I admire your determination Leone. I can see why Wendy respects you so much."

The blonde chuckled at the Erza's words and then thought up of something. "Hey, speaking of Wendy, you want to hear some stories of how she tried to fly with Mastema the first time?"

And Wendy's face went red in embarrassment. "Leone! Don't tell them that!"

Leone ignored the young dragon slayer's cry. "What? You don't want them to know how you flew in head first straight into a building?" She let out a hearty laugh and clutched her stomach while Wendy pouted.

Gray couldn't help but chuckle a little and looked off into the woods. He stood up and walked in a certain direction. Juvia caught this, as per usual. "Where are you going?"

The ice wizard kept walking without looked back at her. "To see where Laxus went." He disappeared into the forest and Juvia was left alone without her beloved Gray. She sighed and would wait patiently for his return as she went back listening to more of Wendy's failed attempts of using Mastema for the first time. In another part of the forest not too far away from the campsite, Laxus was alone and was sitting on a rock while breathing heavily as he clutched his chest tightly. "How long has that been going on?"

Laxus was surprised by Gray's approached which was strange since he didn't smell his scent. "It ain't got nothing to do with you."

Gray thought that was bull. "Oh, is that so? You that to me, a sworn friend and guildmate? It has everything to do with me." Laxus went quiet as his breathing went back to normal. Gray could guess very well what was up with the lightning dragon slayer. "I take it these are complications from the Tartaros battle a year ago where you purposely inhaled a massive amount of Magic Barrier Particles?"

Laxus glanced back at Gray while throwing him an angry glare. "Say a single word about it to anyone and-"

"Sheesh man, no need to give me the mega evil eyes." Gray did feel a little intimated by the way Laxus was looking at him.

Laxus calmed down as he looked away from Gray. "This is nothing. I just get these attacks every now and again. It's no big deal. There ain't no need for you to worry about me. Until this battle is over, you better believe I'll protect our guild. Not even death will get in my way." Gray was glad to hear that. He knew that Laxus won't go down that easy without a fight and he'll make sure to win that fight. "In the meantime, put some damn clothes on."

Gray looked down and sure enough, he was in his underwear which surprised him. "What the-?! When the hell did this happen!?"

B

At the Northern end of Fiore, Gajeel and the others also made camp and it was much more lively. Elfman stepped on a rock and roared while pumping his fist into the air. "You think you're so tough huh? Let me show you how a real man fights!"

Gajeel looked unimpressed while Mirajane and Lisanna were laughing. Elfman narrowed his eyes at himself. "Come on, I don't even remotely act like that."

Mirajane would have to disagree. "I don't know Elfman. It's a pretty good impression."

The first Elfman smiled and held up a mascara brush and a few other beauty products and swiped himself. A cloud appeared and when it faded, Gajeel stood in front of the group. Levy clapped her hands at the sight. Gajeel just scoffed at himself while Lily was interested in how this impression will go. The first Gajeel grinned smugly as he pointed his finger at Levy first. "You're under arrest for being short!" Levy took offense to that and Gajeel pointed her finger at Lily next. "You're under arrest for being furry!" He then pointed at Mirajane next. "You're under arrest for serving crappy beer!" Mirajane didn't mind that since this was just an impression. Gajeel pointed at Elfman next. "You're under arrest for being a meathead!"

Obviously, Elfman was pissed at that. "You want to go!"

Gajeel pointed his finger at Lisanna. "You're under arrest for…for…" He was having a hard time trying to find some stupid reason for Lisanna to be arrested but couldn't find any. So, he turned to the real Gajeel. "And you're arrested for eating iron!"

The iron dragon slayer snarled at his doppelganger and went up to him. He headbutted the other Gajeel and made a rather girlish scream as he fell down to the ground rear first. "That's a crappy reason and you know it!"

The Gajeel down on the ground groaned in pain while rubbing his head with his hand. "Jeez, what's your head made of?" He spoke in a girl's voice. A puff of smoke appeared and it revealed to be Chelsea. "Not to mention you gave out stupid reasons for arresting me and the others before." She stood up while still rubbing her forehead.

Gajeel huffed while crossing his arms. "My head's made out of metal." Both he and Chelsea sat back down around the campfire and Gajeel eyed Chelsea's Imperial Arms. "Why are you bringing that thing in the first place? Makeup ain't going to help you in a fight."

Chelsea glared at him. "First of all, this thing, as you call it, is called Gaea Foundation. Second, there's a good reason why I'm bringing it along. You'll just have to wait and see."

Gajeel wasn't interested in the slightest. "Yeah, right. Your reason probably won't work anyway." Chelsea really wanted to hit him but knew that would hurt her instead.

Lily decided to intervene. "It's impressive how well you can imitate the person you transform into."

At least someone can appreciate Chelsea's ability, even if that someone was a talking cat. "Thank you. It helped out a lot whenever I went on a stealth mission. I suppose I owe it all to Granny Babara."

The name Chelsea mentioned grabbed everyone's attention. Especially Lisanna. "Who's Babara?" Chelsea immediately realized what she said and lowered her head while looking a little disheartened. Lisanna could tell she must've asked a sensitive question. "I'm sorry. If you don't want to talk about it-"

"It's fine." Chelsea interrupted. She took in a deep breath and looked back at the group before her. "Before I joined Night Raid and after I killed that cruel baron, I was with another group called the Oarburgh group. They were assassination group well known for being responsible for assassinations throughout history. I was taken under by Babara Oarburgh, an old woman who was renowned for her killings and ruthlessness, as her apprentice. She did put up with me and I wasn't the only one with her. There was also another member of the Oarburgh group, Taeko. It was great being with them and I learned a lot. Though, there were times where Granny would mention times about when she was young and beautiful and whatnot." Chelsea began to feel nostalgic talking about them again.

"Eventually, we were hired by the Revolutionary Army for an important mission. It was to kill this one group from the Empire that was giving them trouble. During a scouting mission, I saw what some of them looked like and those few alone were able to kill all of the Imperial Arm mercenaries. They must've been stronger than I thought since they…" Everyone could pretty much guess what happened to them. They could see the difficulty Chelsea was having in saying her next words. They even saw Chelsea close her hand tightly and tremble. "Not only they killed Taeko, but also Babara which I thought was impossible." Chelsea couldn't help but chuckle a little. "I hated to admit it but Taeko was better than me in every way and Granny, sure her reputation could scare a lot of people but she was nice. To me and Taeko anyway. Still, back then, I couldn't believe they were killed. Fathom really. I never really did find out who in that group killed them but little did I know, that was only the beginning. The other members of the Oarburgh group were killed one by one, including Madam Mera until it was only me. After that, I pretty much decided to stay in the Revolutionary Army until I was chosen to be part of Night Raid."

Most of the group felt sad for Chelsea. She had lost so much and suffered as well. Lisanna felt the most of it. Chelsea felt tired and yawned while stretching out her arms. "I think that's enough for me tonight. We do have a big battle tomorrow that could decide the fate of the guild and possibly the land." She stood up and walked away from the group. Little did she, her words did worry Levy a little. Everyone else soon followed suit as Elfman put out the fire and everyone turned in for the night. Almost everyone. While Mirajane was fast asleep and Elfman snoring away, Lisanna was still awake and waited for the right time. She shimmied away from her siblings and left to find Chelsea as she had a few more questions about her. The youngest Strauss sibling headed over to where Chelsea was sleeping at and when she approached the site, she was surprised Chelsea wasn't sleeping as well. She was just sitting at the edge of a cliff staring into the night sky. Lisanna smiled at the sight. "Mind if I sit next to you?"

Chelsea didn't act surprised when Lisanna asked from behind due to sensing her aura. "If you want."

Lisanna quickly took up the offer and walked up to Chelsea. She sat down next the other girl and stared at the starry night with her. "So how come you're not sleeping? You're the one who said we have a big battle to decide the fate of our guild."

The other girl chuckled a little. "I could ask you the same but…I tried to go to sleep but my head kept going back to Taeko and the group I was with. Something like that hasn't happened to me in a long time. Not since when I first found out that she and the others were killed." Chelsea let out a sad sigh. "It's strange. I never talked about Taeko and or my previous group to anyone before. Not even to Akame and the others."

Lisanna smiled at her as she could pretty guess why. "I think it's great that you're opening up to us more. It shows that you can trust us." Chelsea had to admit Lisanna had a point about that. The youngest Strauss sibling was wondering about something concerning Chelsea. "Hey, have you ever thought of getting revenge on the people who killed your group?"

Chelsea couldn't help but laugh at the question the other girl had asked her. "Getting revenge would only end up getting myself killed. I don't think I'll meet the people who were responsible for their deaths. I thought of that back then and I definitely still think that now."

Lisanna didn't know what to think about Chelsea's answer. For one, Chelsea didn't even bother tracking down the very people who had killed her previous team but she was living in a world where death was constant. Perhaps it was for the better. Lisanna then recalled what Chelsea said before. "Is their deaths the reason why you said all of those things from before?"

Chelsea turned her head to look at Lisanna as she was trying to figure what the other girl was talking about. Then it hit her. "What I'm trying to say is all of you better get your act together. If not, there'll be a good chance one of you ends up dead next before all of this is over." Somehow, she knew those words would come back to bite her. Chelsea looked back up at the stars. "Something like that. You already know the reason why I said those words before." Of course, Lisanna knew that. It was Chelsea's own way of being concerned for her new teammates and didn't want to lose them like she did with her last team. Chelsea chuckled again as she came up with a random thought. "Now that I think about it, I bet Taeko and Akame would've become fast friends if they ever met each other. I can actually see that happening."

Lisanna giggled at that as well and leaned back. "You don't have to worry about us, you know." Chelsea looked at the other girl's direction again and saw her smile. "We're a guild so we're always there for each other no matter what." She looked back at Chelsea gave her that same smile.

Chelsea was happy to hear that. She still had the fear of losing her comrades but it was significantly less than what it felt from before. She then closed her eyes and let out a yawn while covering her mouth with her hand. "I guess I needed this after all." She started set her hand back down. "I feel like I can sleep better no-" Her eyes instantly opened as she felt her hand resting on something else. So did Lisanna and both girls looked down to see that Chelsea's hand was on top of Lisanna's. Both of their faces went slightly red and Chelsea immediately removed her hand from the other girls. They both turned away from each other while feeling a little flustered. Neither of them spoke for a couple of seconds before Chelsea decided to start. "W-Well, I guess I better get to bed down. Big battle and whatnot."

Lisanna giggled awkwardly. "Y-Yeah. Goodnight Chelsea." Both girls stood up and went back to their respective sleeping bags. While Lisanna was walking back to where her sister and brother were, she clutched the top of her chest and felt her heart flutter a little. Chelsea's was just beating a little harder.

At another part of the cliffs, Chelsea and Lisanna weren't the only ones awake at the time being. Gajeel was looking over the scenery squatting near to the ground. He could hear Levy's footsteps approaching him and smelled her scent. Levy came up to Gajeel and stopped just behind him. "Gajeel, you're going to sleep?"

The iron dragon slayer could say the same about her. "Aren't you in the same boat?"

Levy had a doubtful look on her face. "Yeah. It's like…I can't shake this feeling that we may never return to the guild. Our enemy this time is truly in a completely dimension than anything we've faced up until now. I'm not strong like everyone else so…I guess I'm just scared." An iron beam came up from the ground near Levy which surprised and more came out surrounding her. "Gajeel!"

Gajeel stood in front of Levy while resting his arm on one of the iron beams. "You're under arrest for one count of complaining too much."

Levy knew he was joking but felt a little bad bothering him. "Sorry."

Gajeel didn't mind as he smiled at her. "You're under arrest so…I'll definitely throw you in the slammer when we get back to the guild. Don't you forget it."

Gajeel had an odd way of reassuring others but Levy was grateful for what he said and smiled at him. "I won't." While this was going on, Lily, who was close by, had one eye open as he heard their entire conversation.

The next day arrived and so did the second battle of liberating Hargeon from Alvarez's control. Both sides were already charging at each other and fighting. Kagura was the one leading the charge. "Today is the day we take back Hargeon! Advance!"

Dimaria was surprised to see her regain her fighting spirit back so quickly after the humiliation she gave her yesterday. "She's quite in high spirits in spite of me having my way with her yesterday." Wahl was just laughing maniacally. As much as Dimaria wanted to strip Kagura out of her new kimono again, she felt like toying with someone else. "Let's find a different girl to pick on today."

"Sky God's Boreas!" Chelia used her sky god slayer magic to rid of a group of enemy soldiers.

They didn't expect to give them this much trouble. "What's with this damn runt!?"

"She's putting up quite the fight."

Chelia landed the ground while skidding on it as she prepared her next attack. "Sky God's…" Her attack was interrupted as the left sleeve of her shirt was torn apart instantly.

The soldiers saw Dimaria appear and cheered. "Lady Dimaria!"

The Shield smiled at the new toy she was going to play with. "I'm taking this one for myself."

More of Chelia's outfit was being destroyed and had to cover up her chest with her arms. "N-No! Stop it!" Her shirt was completely gone and was now topless in front of her enemy.

Dimaria loved the sight before her. "I love seeing girls make that face. I simply can't get enough of it. I'll give you plenty of tender love and care just like I did with your friend yesterday. Well, if that were any true but unfortunately, that's not the case today. You're a healer, aren't you?" She readied her sword and came at the god slayer. "It's a pain if your troops keep coming back, so do me a huge favor…and die?!" Chelia couldn't react fast enough to evade Dimaria's attack.

"ICE SKY DRAGON'S STRIKING SPEAR!" Wendy came out of left field and struck Dimaria at the side of her head while yelling with her attack. She added more power to her attack and blew away Dimaria from Chelia. However, Wendy wasn't done yet and took in a deep breath. "ICE SKY DRAGON'S ROAR!" She unleashed her breath attack straight at the Shield.

Dimaria was laying on the ground while groaning as she wiped the side of her mouth. "What the hell just hit me?" She quickly noticed Wendy's attack headed her way. All she could do at the moment was stare at it before it reached her.

At her end, a thunderous explosion occurred. Chelia felt very happy seeing her girlfriend again and smiled lovingly at her. "Wendy…"

Wendy exited out of her Ice Sky Dragon Mode and looked back at the other slayer girl. She returned Chelia's smile with her own. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Chelia. The Sky Lovers are finally doing their reunion tour." They both felt a strong burst of wind coming at them and they saw Dimaria standing up with her sword raised in the air. She didn't a very happy look on her face. "Were you the one that socked me in the face?"

"Lyon! We're busting through the front lines!"

Lyon didn't expect Gray to show up on the battlefield. "Gray!?"

"Let's take them all out in one go."

He also didn't expect to see Juvia either. "Juvia!?" Actually, he was kinda happy Juvia was here. "As always, she's so cute!" Lyon snapped out of his thoughts as he realized something. "But why are you all here now?"

"This was our fight from the start! For purposely sticking your noses in our guild's troublesome affairs, all of you…" Erza stood next to Kagura. "Have my sincerest thanks!"

Kagura was surprised to see Erza again. "Erza?"

Erza turned to Kagura. "Follow my lead."

The other smiled at her and nodded. "I shall."

"Sunsteel Impact!" A powerful shining light was crashing through a group of enemy soldiers as they flew high in the sky and back crashing into the ground. Leone grinned as she was in her Radiant Sun Lion Take Over form. "Knock knock! Death's at your door you Alvarez assholes!"

While all of this was going on, Wahl saw Fairy Tail's arrival from looking on top of a building. "Hmm? So they've come to us on their own accord, have they? Fairy Tail never fails to entertain."

He immediately sensed that something was behind him and was struck to the ground by Laxus stood behind him with light with his lightning. He readied his next attack at the Shield. "You're the scumbag who took out Freed and the others."

Laxus attacked with his left arm but Wahl managed to catch it and prepared an attack of his own while grinning at the lightning dragon slayer. "Sorry, never heard of them."

His eyes widened as Laxus struck him again with his right arm discharging his electricity. "They're my friends! Don't you forget it!"
