Apparently when I meant by next week, I meant two weeks…..and a half... and another half. T_T I am so sorry for that, but I had a really difficult time writing this chapter. As I build my confidence for this story, it will become more longer as the time progresses. And maybe with more persistent updates. Upward and Onward! No looking back! Onto ZERO HOUR (sort of)!

Planet: Earth-Land

Location: Fairy Tail Guild Hall

Date/Time: Year X793 September 10th/Zero Hour

Before Lucy fell to the floor, a puff of smoke surrounded her and she was completely encased in an old clock.

"Hey, it's Horologium!" exclaimed Natsu. "Why are you here?"

"My danger detection system went off and here I am," said the celestial spirit of the clock constellation. "Lady Lucy is asleep inside me. I was able to cut off the spell before it could do her permanent damage.

Horologium was one of Lucy's celestial spirits, a tall brown grandfather clock with long, black arms, a glass case, a Roman-numeral clock at the center and a small face at the top with slit eyes and a thin, twirly, mustache-like mouth. He had saved Lucy, and even Wendy, a couple of times from certain death by putting them inside of him.

"If that's true then can you do that for the rest of the wizards," asked Wendy.

"I'm sorry child but they are already under the effects of the spell. There is nothing I can do."

The guild hall was in chaos. The Fairy Tail wizards were doing their best to revive the other fallen members of the guild.

Natsu banged his hand with a force that nearly cracked the stage, bringing everyone's attention to him. He looked at everyone and started to yell. "Damn it! Someone call Porlyusica! She'll know what to do.." The veterans of the guild immediately understood.

"Jet, go get her and tell her it's an emergency."

"You got it, Natsu!" Jet was the fastest runner in the guild since he used High Speed Magic to move at extremely high speeds. "I'll be back."

Natsu watched as Jet ran out of the guild and turned his attention back to the fallen wizards. He didn't understand why this was happening. The guild had been attacked before but never like this. Normally they attacked with full force and either demanded someone or something but this time they simply took out their most powerful members. Natsu frowned.

Ah come on! I'm powerful too! I'll show them who's boss! Natsu took a deep breath. Focus!

"Let's get everyone to the infirmary! Be careful with them."

Planet: Earth-Land

Location: Forest outside of Magnolia

Date/Time: Half hour to Zero hour

How long had she been wandering around? A day? A month? Time wasn't the same without her father. Being with her father felt like eternity and yet it felt short. How long had it been since she had eaten? An hour? It felt like it had been a week.

Where was she? This place felt important but she had never been here before. A house in the middle of the forest. With a door that was embedded in it. Smelling of sweet and ghastly smell of medicines swept the air. It was intoxicating. She stood in front of the door in a dreamy state, waiting for something to happen and yet not knowing what would happen. At long last the little girl turned away from the door and walked away, heading towards a cliff that could be seen far from the house. Down below she saw a town with a large built-up area, extending over a large, rectangular surface to the shores of a lake. Splitting the town vertically and horizontally was a large series of large roads. Located almost in the middle of the town, overlooking Central Path, a horizontal road where events and parades are held, was a cathedral. It was one of the most distinct landmarks. In the northernmost part of the city, sitting on the shore of a lake, was a tall building, it's words indecipherable in the distance.

But she felt it. The amount of magic power holed up in this place was amazing. It beckoned her in, calling out in screams of joy and sadness. All she could do was walk in a trance, step by step, until she reached the entrance to the town.

.

.

The streets were busy with people at the market. Vendors were yelling out products with their prices following it. It had been a long time since the little girl had seen a market but she had never seen so many people in one place before. She could barely see ahead of her and people kept crossing her path apparently unaware there was someone there. Just as she thought she was clear of the crowd, a man ran straight into her. He had a white bushy mustache with curly black hair wearing a black vest and white shirt followed with black jeans.

"Oh my, I am so sorry, dear", he said, looking down at the little girl. From his point of view, she looked like an ordinary girl who had lost her way home. "Are you lost? Do you need help?"

The little girl thought for a while. She knew not to talk to strangers, even kind men, but she was lost and if this man asked her if she wanted to be accompanied with her then she would politely refuse.

"Fairy Tail", she finally said, eyeing the man. "I'm looking for a Fairy Tail."

The man raised his eyebrow. "Those group of troublemakers? You sure you wanna go there?" The little girl nodded. "Well if you insist." He pointed to the tall building with she had been observing from the cliff about half an hour ago. "That's the Fairy Tail Guild. Would you like me to take you there?"

"No thank you. I'm fine." The little girl said quickly. "I will be on my way."

The old man looked surprised but simply nodded and watched as the little girl walked away in an unchildlike manner. He wondered what could the little girl want with a wizard guild like Fairy Tail but who was he to question. Still he felt unnerved by the girl, the way she had politely refused his offer and those big dark green and red eyes that told nothing, and yet told everything.

"Happy to help." he muttered. He turned around and continued on his way.

.

.

The little girl could feel it. The power that ran through the town and still more of what came from the building the old man had pointed to. The building had letters she could not decipher. She had not looked at a word in a long time so she had forgotten what the characters were. She was almost to the guild when she felt it. Enormous amounts of magic power released into the air. She could barely breathe as she tried to understand what was wrong. The screams of agony she felt with it was confirmation that this was not intentional. She felt the presence of nine separate magic powers, all of them overflowing with magic power, and it was more than her tiny body could handle. She collapsed onto her knees and stared at the stone blocks beneath her. She froze like that for a minute.

Breathe. Breathe! Remember what your father told you. Take in a deep breath and exhale deeply after three counts. Control yourself!

The little girl brought up one leg and shakily got back up to her feet, all the while breathing in and out.

Only to have herself fall over when something ran into her. She yelped and fell again.

.

.

Jet ran out the door of the guild and almost immediately rammed into a girl. Granted he was a hundred meters from the guild, but at the speed he ran he couldn't even see the people unless they were far away. And since he was using magic, that didn't really help.

"Sorry. Didn't see you there." he said as he looked at the little girl he had run over. He bent over and picked the girl up and smiled. "I'm really sorry kiddo but I have to go and meet someone. It's an emergency." With that he activated his magic again and left incredibly fast. He couldn't afford to waste time.

Not while his friends and the master depended on it.

.

.

She felt his power. It was weak, and yet at that moment, it was raging through his bloodstream. So just before he let her go, she gave him a tiny amount of magic power. It was negligible compared to what had hurt her previously but enough to boost the man's magic. She had noticed that the place where the man had come from was also the source of the magic power she had felt. If so, then she had to hurry. It was a matter of life and death for them.

.

.

The guild members were ready to carry the collapsed wizards to the infirmary when she opened the door to the guild hall. Nobody noticed as she walked in and started towards the fallen wizards. She started pushing them aside to clear a path and soon enough she stood next to them. The fallen wizards faces were pale as if the life had been sucked out of them. She looked up.

I see them. Nine colors for nine magics. All of them mixing together. So much magic power in one place. It was a wonder that the place didn't blow up. Let us hope it never comes to that.

She closed her eyes.

First, I need to separate the magics into the individual entities.

She raised her arms.

This should work. Help me, Papa. I need you.

No you don't.

She heard it again. Her father's voice. It had been a long time since she heard it. Too long.

It is within you. Use it!

She raised her hands. Yes I can! I can use it! I COMMAND it!

The magic swirled around her bring the attention of the others to her.

"What's a girl doing here?"

"Forget that. What's she doing?"

She forgot about the people around her. She forgot about the possibility of dying. She forgot about the words of Fairy Tail. All she heard and felt was the voice of her father and the magical energy around her.

The magics of the fallen swirled around, invisible to everyone but her. They could feel it but she could see it. Opening her eyes, she threw her hands on the floor, breaking the wood.

She yelled. "Weion Niel Elcantaeus!"

Magical Infusion

The magic around her imploded, crashing into the wizards bodies. All of them jerked up as if they had been shocked back into existence. They all blinked their eyes and looked around.

"What happened?" a scarlet-haired woman asked, as she held her head with her hand. "I feel sick."

"Ack, it hurts." said a shirtless man as he tried to stand and got a sharp pain in his forehead for his efforts.

"Ugh I just had a terrible dream," said a large, muscular man with tan colored skin. "All of my manliness had been taken away and all that was left was an empty shell with muscles of fat outside." He looked genuinely terrified at that thought,

"Big Bro!" He was tackled by shorter girlier version of him. "You're alright!"

"Argh, I'm getting far too old for all of this."

"Master! You're alright!" said a short girl with blue hair. She couldn't have been more than fourteen years of age. "How are you feeling?"

"Well now that you mention it the soreness in my knees have gone. Not even Porlyusica could cure that."

"But what happened?" said the red-haired woman.

"We don't know."

"As long as you're alright."

"But what about the girl."

"It looked like she cured you."

"But how did she do it?"

Everyone looked at the girl who was still there, still kneeling. Her hands covered with blisters and blood when she broke the floor.

She heard them talking but everything after that started to fade away. Her nerves were the first to go. She tried standing up and succeeded only halfway before she collapsed onto the floor like a tree branch falling. Her last moments before she lost consciousness was the blue-haired girl putting her glowing hands forward and a pink-haired boy looking over her.

"Wendy do something!"

"I'm trying!"

That pink-haired boy looks familiar. I wonder who he is? she thought just as she slipped into a coma.

"WENDY!"

And that was when the wall of the Fairy Tail Guild Hall exploded.

Another cliff-hanger. Don't worry I won't leave the other chapters like this. But do expect some twists. I happen to create spells as I go along the story so if you want to see the description of the spell you can go to my profile and see it. It's got a way of how the spell work. Please review. Even if you have no login, I would love to see a review. Even if a review like "YOU SUCK!" comes in that would be great cause then I can improve my writing. Stay strong, Stay alive, and keep on LOVING FAIRY TAIL!
