Hey, I'm back, I have nothing to say so let's just dig in!


Natsu's P.O.V.

We decided to find hades, guild or not, things were getting worse and someone has to do something.

"Guys, we need to slow down a bit, lilly is still hurt." Wendy worryingly looked at patherlilly. His breathing was heavy and he was limping the whole way there, Marie was helping him, but it didn't seem to do much. I slowed down tremendously, so did lucy. Lucy turned turned to look at me then to panther lilly and got down on one knee.

"Are you sure you don't want me to carry you? I will." He didn't respond to her questioned which have her an answer. She slowly picked him up and held him like she does happy. We looked at each other, then I looked to wendy. We all nodded. We kept moving. Lilly soon fell asleep in her arms which gave Wendy the chance to finally fully heal him. His scratches were gone and all wounds were healed. He just needed more rest. The bushed moved.

"Get back." Since I was in front of everyone, I was the one who was it. We all hid behind trees and rocks as we watched what would come out of the bush. I saw a head of red hair and I breathed in relief.

"You all can come out now." Erza stated. We did as we were told and came out. She smiled sweetly and come up to us and hugged us, which by the way, hurt like hell. "I'm so glad you all are safe." I gazed towards lucy and saw tears that pricked her eyes.

"Woah, lucy, are you okay?" I asked her. She got startled and look away from me, wiping tears away.

"I'm fine. Just glad Erza was safe...is all." Ezra looked shocked at what she heard, her face slowly turning red. I was also shocked at this. She was so worried about everyone's safety, but she hid it? She acts so strong all the time, but really, she cares as much as the rest of us. All I could do was stare. "Wha-what? Don't look at me like that."

"I too am glad you're safe." Ezra walked up to lucy and hugged her tight. Lucy looked shocked, but all the tears started to flow down at once. Wendy started to cry as well, and then Erza started too. Then followed happy and marie. Carla tried to hold out, but let a few tears fall.

"Oh come on you guys!? We have to kicked hades's ass!" I stomped around as everyone shed tears, my own tears beginning to form.

"Unfortunately, he's r-right..." Ezra wiped the last of her tears away as did everyone else. We tried to move on, but erza collapsed.

"Erza!" I yelled as we all ran up to her. Wendy quickly tried to heal her, but Carla started to scold her.

"You can't just heal willy nilly like that! You'll waste your own power and won't be able to fight hades, then you'll die! Let her body heal on it's own." Lucy got down and out a hand on Wendy's shoulder.

"She's right, I don't want anything to happen to you, and besides, Erza's strong." Wendy shrugged her hand off and glared at the ground. Lucy seemed surprised.

"No! Ezra is a hundred times stronger than me and did rather have her fight than me, I'd only mess things up..." She hovered her hands above Erza's body and continued to heal her and once she was done, she smiled. "She may be stronger than me, but I'm also strong on my own. My magic power won't run out by healing only a couple people, please, lucy and carla, trust me." Lucy smiled softly as did carla.

"Sure." Lucy said.

...

We continued to walk as we came across monsters and other threats. In the distance, we spotted gray. I waved him down.

"Hey ice face!" Gray looked over at me, glaring, until he saw the others and sighed in relief. He ran over to us, mainly erza and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I'm so glad you're okay, I was looking for you, I found juvia. She was hurt and she told me where lisanna and mirajane was so I took her there, I found most of the others so everyone is okay." He directed most of what he said to all of us. We all nodded. Ezra put her hand on the hand that was on her shoulder and smiled weakly.

"I'm glad you're safe as well. I'm also glad that the other's are safe. Did...did you think about what I said?" Gray looked confused then just if realized what she said, there was a tint of pink on his cheeks. He nodded slowly, looking away. What a weirdo.

"Yeah, I did...thanks." She giggled quietly and we kept in walking. We then finally came up to a ship, Grimoire Heart's ship. it was time to finally end this.

"Its time." Lucy muttered quietly, we all silently agreed with her. Pantherlilly, woken only a few minutes ago, piped up.

"You three," he pointed to marie, Carla, and happy. "Come with me. We need to do something." They hardened their gaze and nodded. They flew up into the ship and disappeared. I then felt very excited.

"Haha, let's go!" I ran up the stairs that gray created with ice so that it connected to the ship. Lucy ran with me, but yelled at me instead. The others running after both of us.

"You dunce, we need to strategize, not run in there all half cocked!" She always was quick with me to fight, but this time, not so much. This made he halt. I looked at her, she seemed a little shaky. My eyes widened at her.

"Are...are you scared?" She looked towards the floor, the others were close behind, but it was dark. There was no lighting.

"You're right, I'm usually not scared of these battles, but did you see what hades did to master? This is master we're talking about! I just...I just think we should try and strategize, just a little." When the others finally caught up, I looked to Erza. I sighed.

"So...what's the plan?" Gray seemed to be at awe for my seemingly strange halt in activity. I glared at him, then looked towards lucy. She smiled gratefully at me. I cracked a smile back. Erza's eyes hardened as she told us her plan. It was rushed, but so was she.

"I want you and lucy to go in there, acting half cocked like you were a minute ago. He'll underestimate your strength since you two seem like idiots," we sweat dropped at that. "Gray and I will sneak from behind and try to catch him off guard. Wendy, I want you to use you're Dragon slayer roar to try and blind him as gray and I attack. It will give us a better chance, since I highly doubt he's dumb enough to fall for our sneak attack trick."

"Hmph." Wendy grunted in understanding and agreement. Lucy took a deep breath as we sniffed out hades.

"Don't worry, we won't die, I won't let us." I reassured her. She gave me a look of determination.

"Of course." Once we found his scent, we signaled the others and ran out into the open. We heard a dark chuckle as we turned to hades.

"I could hear you two a mile away, you two must not be very smart. You should of stayed where you were and died by my men instead of dying slowly by my hands. "

I delivered the first blow, sending a column of fire at Hades. "Taste fairy tail's power!" Hades easily blocked the attack.

"Hm, Dragon slayer, how rare." He casually said about my power. However, from the clearing fire, Lucy used her roar to blow him back, he didn't seem to move one foot, Wendy then appeared and also roared which seemed to have blinded him. Erza and Gray appear, taking Hades by surprise, and assault him in melee with, respectively, Black Wing Armor's Moon Flash and Ice-Make: Cold Excalibur. Hades is not given time to recover, as Lucy summons Taurus, of course with her star dress, both strike at Hades with his axe and her whip. Wendy empowers our attacks with her Magic, with Gray and Erza proceeding to attack Hades again.

He dodges and, berating our relentlessness, grabs Erza with his chain and throws her against Gray, sending them both crashing. However, he's rapidly attacked again by my Fire Dragon Wing Attack. He grabs my head with his chain in retaliation, and is on the verge of smashing me away, but Erza cuts the chain clean. I, with the help of Gray's Ice-Make: Hammer, is sent flying at Hades again. In the meantime, Wendy uses her Sky Dragon's Roar and Lucy summons Scorpio and has him use his Sand Buster. The two attacks merge around me through Unison Raid, something which greatly surprises Hades.

Through the added speed granted by our attacks, I manage to strike Hades with my Fire Dragon's Sword Horn, sending him crashing against a wall and raising a blanket of smoke. However, Hades' voice is clearly heard.

he says "usually, mistakes get to be labeled as experience; but with a true mistake, there won't be experience to be gained." He claims the mistake of taking him on as their opponent will leave them with no future, as he appears from the smoke, completely unharmed, with only his cape torn, something which shocks us all.

"Are you done with your warm-ups? " Hades smirks and then cries out the word katsu, causing Wendy to disappear into nothingness, leaving only her clothes behind, something which again surprises and horrifies us.

As we are is in shock over Wendy's disappearance, her voice is heard from above, as we and Hades look up in surprise and see that Horologium, who was set to "Automatic Danger Response Mode." We all sigh in relief. Lucy looks upon him and then realizes something.

"Oh but how about all the times I was in danger, you didn't come for me then!"

"I judged hades's attack as the most dangerous i've had ever seen. This is the one and only time I can save her." he disappeared as Wendy descends back down in new clothes and we thank him tremendously for his help. Hades then comments,

"Hmm, Makarov's kids are interesting... "

"Do you know Makarov?" Ezra demands. Hades reveals that he was the second Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Precht, the one who nominated Makarov for the position of third Guild.

"You're lying!" I rush at him, but I'm rapidly engulfed by Amaterasu and blown away. Hades then similarly attacks Gray and Wendy, and proceeds to tie Erza and Lucy up together with his chains, subsequently hitting them with an explosion as well. When I try rushing at him again, he pierces my leg with his Bullet Magic, hampering my charge. He proceeds to attack the others in the same way, laughing out loudly and screaming.

"Dance with my Magic!" With all of us lying on the ground, hades states Fairy Tail's eternal question and mystery, whether Fairies have tails, claiming that the Guild's name probably stems from it. He stomps on my head, crushing my skull. I grunt, in fury and pain as hades talks.

"your journey is over, and that, having been entrusted with the first Master Mavis' will, it was a mistake of me to entrust my own will to Makarov, as he changed the Guild for the worst." Lucy got up, she was beaten and bloody, but she got up. I would have too if my skull wasn't being crushed. Everyone else stood as well, which shocked me.

"Celestial dragon, iron fist!" She weakly tried to punch him, which he easily caught, twisting her fist painfully. She screamed.

"Stop! Your hurting her!" I screamed.

"Yeah, that might be wise, old man." I know that voice. It was as clear as day.

Laxus...
