At Fairy tail, Don Markarov stared at the slender man infront of him with slick yellow hair and pale skin walking around the room with his hands on his back. With him was a tall muscular man almost the same body mass as elf man, observing the Don and Laxus who was behind him. Silence broke as Mavis entered the room and brought the papers which the Don requested.
Rufus read the papers and spoke. "But it stated here that you adopted Ms. Heartfilia about just this year then?... am I assuming that this is all just a coincidence?" He smiled slyly at the Don. Just before Laxus planned on doing unnecessary actions he was stopped by the Don with a raise of his hand.
"Our family's reasons of coming together does not concern the likes of you. All I can show you is her certification as part of our familia, nothing more. If you resume prying with our family matters I have no choice but to let you deal with the consequences at hand" The Don stood up and spoke "I suggest you leave as soon as possible, or undesired measures will be taken into action."
Rufus looked at the Don calmly, he gave a short chuckle. "We know the consequences Don Markarov… but we also know how to get things done the way we want." He grinned at the Don devilishly while pulling out his mobile phone out of his pocket.
Just before the Don could take out his gun at chorus with Laxus, an explosion behind them erupted which diverted their focus. As soon as the Don realized that it may have been a diversion, Rufus smacked his head with the butt of his gun which led the Don to drop heavily on the floor. Laxus reverted his focus on the Don and saw him lying on the floor. Full of rage, he began to attack for Rufus, but was blocked by Orga. Mavis tried to take out the guns behind the book shelves but was immediately shot at the arm by Rufus, She fell to the ground unconsciously. Laughing victoriously he draped the Don over his shoulder and walked out of the room signaling Orga to do the same. Orga had difficulty in carrying Laxus so he dragged him carelessly out of the room. Dragging him like a sack of rice.
Jellal and the group ran as soon as possible to the Don's office as the explosion hit the grounds. "It was from our bunker!" Gray shouted. "Damn bastards!"Gajeel commented. "What was inside those?" Jellal asked while running. Gray gave a serious expression "weapons, armory..ammo".
"Juvia thinks, there is only one person who could do this." Juvia added to the conversation. They looked at her for a moment when Levy decided to butt in. "Only Sting was our guest.. he's the only outsider besides.." Levy paused for a moment looking at Jellal.
Juvia understood the silence and blurted out "Juvia is suspicious about Lucy-san..". Jellal continued running "That would be impossible… I tracked Lucy and Sting for every conversation, meeting or behavior between the two.. I trust Lucy Heartfilia… I hope you guys too." He looked back at them. Levy smiled thinking that for sure Lucy wouldn't have done it. Everyone in the family loved her. She was smart and funny, she felt like family as well.
"Look there!" Gajeel shouted at the moment pointing at Orga and Rufus carrying the Don and dragging out Laxus. Jellal aimed his gun at the two men but was blown away with the others by two explosions. Dust covered the air and the hallways became rubble. The Don and Laxus were no where at sight but Jellal stood up and shouted, "Bring your family members out of the vicinity! Gray, we'll go after the Don and Laxus, the others, keep them safe!"
Gajeel, Levy and Juvia nodded in agreement and back to the main wing. Just as they passed the lower east wing Levy found smoke coming out of the hallway. She gave out a smallgasp "Oh no!" Gajeel came back for her seeing her in utter shock "What is it." Levy immediately ran for the east wing. "Oy Shrimp! What the hell are you up to!?" Levy turned around "Go find the others!" Gajeel was confused and was about to come after her when Juvia stopped him. "Let's find the others first! Let's listen to Levy-san" Juvia pointed out, trusting Levy's actions. Gajeel gave a grunt and followed Juvia.
At the common room area, Cana and Laki were trapped. After the two explosions three vans came in breaking down Fairy Tail's gate. They were in one of the first rooms that were attacked. Kinana was busy attacking the men with the glasses in her hand, while Cana used her small daggers hidden under her booze barrels. Laki on the other hand used her martial art skills but all men were strong. As soon as Kinana was shot down and Laki tangled in the arms of an enemy. Cana used one of her guns to shoot the roof of the house signaling the men inside the room to stop. Cana looked at them and pointed the gun furiously at the man holding Laki. Sweat dropped on her forehead unsure for the next step of her plan. She held her aim steadily, she made a tsk sound when all of a sudden a short explosion of fume came out of nowhere. Cana quickly took Kinana and Laki out of the area. AS the smoke disappeared in the room one of the men spotted Erza's red hair right in front of him. Before he could say anything Erza kicked him at the back of his head leaving him unconscious. The other men in the room slowly saw the image of Erza as the smoke began to clear up. They one by one came after her but Erza was quick and strong. She kicked them one by one in the head and blocked their attacks as they came one after the other. One fired directly at Erza but she was able to dodge the bullet by back flipping and quickly disarming the enemy. She took his coat and coverd his face. Used him as a balance and kicked everyone who came to attack her. Finally she turned his head leaving him dead. As soon as she finished everyone in the room she ran out hearing screams of dozen of Fairy Tail members. She heard gunshots fired violently across the hall. As she got a better view she saw men with different familia signias on the side of their neck. She assumed that it was possible Saber was not alone in attacking their manor.
Erza saw Juvia running towards her " we have to get everyone out of here!" she pulled Erza to the side as soon as she spotted a man with a missile gun behind her. She took her to the right wing of the hall and down the stairs. "This area isn't attacked yet!" Erza told Juvia. "But soon it will, that's why we have to get everyone to safety." Erza nodded but was disturbed to notice no Jellal in sight. "Where's Jellal?"
Juvia kept running the flight of stairs when suddenly a man from below appeared out of nowhere. He took Juvia's wrists, but Erza was cunning she pulled Juvia's legs and went under her. She used it block the attack which made Juvia attack by kicking the man's head instinctly. Erza finally came up behind him and locked his neck to the right. They both panted and looked at each other with a smile. Juvia thanked Erza where she in returned gave a smile.
Both of the girls suddenly heard a group of men coming up the flight of stairs. They started to go up but saw that there was also a few coming down. They were surely outnumbered and had nowhere to go. When Erza spotted an air vent, she pulled Juvia along with her and instructed her to go inside. Both girls squirmed at the size of the vent but if this was their only way out then they'd risk it.
Meanwhile, Gajeel started to kick everyone out of his way. He immediately saw Gray and Jellal coming from the smoke and debris of the west wing. "What happened?" Jellal shook his head. "No sign of him nor Laxus." Gray carrying an unconscious Mavis suggested "Still! Search everywhere I bet they're just inside the premises, causing disruption. "
Jellal and Gajeel nodded. They all took their separate paths and ran to different corners of the Manor. Jellal went immediately to the medication centre to see if Wendy was fine. He saw two men rummaging the restricted area where all the drugs used for their medication and experiments of Romeo. He took out his gun and shot lost bullets to signal attention. A man just at his right was struggling with Wendy in her grasps. As soon as she heard Jellal's gunshot she used the diversion as an escape. She did a high kick to form injury to his jaw line. She ran towards Jellal after escaping the old man's grasps. Jellal immediately shot the man as he had a hold of Wendy. "Wendy! Run upstairs!" He commanded.
"No! I won't leave you!" Another explosion caught them making small pieces of foundation drop from the ceiling. Jellal hugged Wendy protectively and fired two gunshots at the transparent window at the restricted section. The bald man was shot straight in the head making wendy scream but the other one was missing. Jellal stood with his arm draped over Wendy's shoulder. It was silent for a moment in the room and only gunshots from outside were heard. Wend heard a short crackle behind them.
"Jellal behind you!" Wendy screamed. Jellal immediately did a low back kick and slapped the man's hand making disarming his weapon. He straddled over the man and pointed his gun "Who hired you!?" Jellal asked angrily. He used his gun to turn the man's head seeing a different family signia on the right, forming a small red heart unfinished with a crown at the bottom. He whispered to himself "Grimoire Heart.." The man chuckled. "Yes, very smart!...but not so smart.." He pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and pressed the top button. A beep from the started to sound making Jellal panicked and checked his coat He saw at his belt there was a locked metal material. It signaled a red light beeping and lighting up and off by the second. He immediately ran to Wendy and took her at the back of a thick foundation. He hugged her as the bomb exploded in seconds the walls erupted but Jellal and Wendy were saved by the foundation they hid at. Jellal looked around seeing the man's burnt body lying near the door. He hid Wendy's view and held her up stairs and out to safety.
During the commotion, Levy ran towards the IT room. She was sure that there was no smoke coming out yet from that wing, therefore this area must've been what they targeted and Levy knew what they were after. "The files.."
Levy arrived at the lab room, there was no one inside. She kicked the door open and went inside the computer room. In a span of minutes she took out hard drives and USBs filled with all the criminal data they have. Even the data's Jude Heartfilia handed to them just recently. She ran to the filing room with a duffel bag in her hand after deleting all the data at their desktop computer. She cut cords at the back of a filing cabinet at took out a few papers and folders from the drawers. As she reached to the last file she was planning to get she bumped over a huge man. She fell on her but on the floor. By instinct Levy pulled out the revolving gun hidden at the garter of her thigh. She aimed it at his chest and shot a few bullets, but this was unusual. The man continued to walk closer to her. Despite the bleeding he pulled out the bullets as if no pain inflicted on him. Levy tried to shoot again but was disarmed by the man as he kicked the gun out of Levy's hand.
The huge man pulled Levy up and said "I want what's in your bag…"Levy looked straight in his eyes. They were blood shot red and his nerves at the neck were clearly coming out, strained and stressed. She pulled out the dagger behind her skirt and stabbed him right at the side of his neck. It immobilized him for a second leaving Levy enough time to run, but before she could stand up the huge man unexpectedly stood up and groaned in pain. He took out the dagger with force and smiled devilishly at Levy. Levy was petrified for a moment, her shocked expression made the huge man chuckle in delight.
"No matter how many times you stab me, it won't budge." He laughed and went closer to Levy.
Levy dragged herself on the floor trying to pick herself up, but suddenly she felt two big hand hold her dress making her lie down. She was scared and started to well tears in her eyes. The ogre looking man pushed his face on the hair of levy, smelling her scent while touching her thighs.
"GET OFF OF ME!" Levy pleaded, but her strength was not enough for a man like him. She refused to call herself weak and tried to remove herself from his clutches but the man was eager.
"I guess I have a few minutes to play.. " He smiled. Caressing Levy's thighs and sniffing her blue locks. He carefully pinned her on the floor therefore trapping her legs. He slowly ripped the cloth around her neck making Levy scream in fright.
"No! No! Please Don't!"
The man chuckled "Yes, Go on! Say it, say you don't want this… How I love the voice of a scared woman." He sniffed her once more. Just before Levy attempted to scream again the doors opened violently. Jet and Droy arrived in the scene and saw Levy's state. They were mad furious.
"Droy!' Jet tossed two giant M34 guns at Droy and he pulled out his. They aimed it at the man and started firing bullets right at his guts. The man tried to doge them but one bullet plunged through his abdomen.
"Yes!" Droy shouted victoriously.
"Nice one Droy!" He gave his partner a tap on the back.
Then they heard Levy "No!" Both men looked back and the dagger that Levy used to stab him went flying to Droy and ultimately stabbed him back.
"Droy!" Jet held him as he dropped on the floor. Droy whispered to Jet and handed him a small bag "Save.. Levy.."
Jet understood what he meant he took the bag and watched his friend's last breath. He was angry and shaking. Sweat dropped on Jet's forehead, "You'll pay for this"
Jet was fast just before the man spoke he took out his stun gun and shot him right thru, the man felt no pain and tried to remove the wires but it was stuck on his body. He felt irritation and began grumbling in frustration trying to remove the wires, Levy took the duffel bag and ran immediately to Jet as soon as she found a loophole to her escape. Jet held her and said "Get out of here, I'll handle this!"
"NO! I can't lose you to Jet!" Levy began crying. The ogre looking man noticed this and began to run towards them but Jet was able to run faster to his back tangling the wires on the metal bar of the foundation desks. He used force to pin him unto the wall.
"Levy! Get out of here!" He pulled out a ticking bomb from the bag Droy gave him, pressed the button to start the 2 minute clock, and just then Levy knew what he was planning.
"Jet! Wait!" We can think this through!"
"There's no time Levy!" He grunted as the giant started to squirm for his release.
"Levy…" Jet looked at her. Pointing there was only a minute left before it explodes.
Levy began crying "Jet … no.."
"We love you Levy, ever since.." Jet smiled at her and looked at his bestfriend, Droy, lying on the floor drenched in his blod. "We'll always love you. " He smiled sincerely.
Levy couldn't take it she began to run towards Jet but two arms grabbed her and pulled her out of the room. She heard the door shut and immediately the explosion invaded the room. She gave out a short scream "JET!" She shouted. She looked up as the two hands held her shoulders, it was Gajeel.
"Oy are you alright?!" He looked at her panicking.
Levy's voice was cracking, "Jet… Droy… They saved me…"
Gajeel hugged her tightly trying to calm her down. Levy clutched Gajeel's clothes burying her face to his chest. Making out words that Gajeel found hard to understand. Another explosion at the top of the building erupted sending debris falling on top of their heads.
Gajeel clenched his teeth and went back to his attention to Levy. "Hey.." Levy looked at him again.
"It's going to be alright. Jet and Droy wouldn't want to see you like this right now. "
Levy nodded. "But I.."
"What they did for you, was a sacrifice purely made out of their love for you…Don't let their deaths come in vain. Let's fight not only for them, but for our family as well." He cupped her cheeks pushing away the tears forming in her eyes. Levy furrowed her eyebrows and she gave in a nod. She understood that nothing would really happen if she just stayed still and do nothing. Gajeel smiled at her and spoke once more. "Levy." Levy was shocked it was the first time Gajeel called her by her name. She looked at him and as soon as she did he bent down and their lips locked for a moment. He smiled "Just in case something came up. " He took her by the hand and they walked out of the area. Levy was shocked at first but as she felt the warmth of Gajeel's hand she felt safer than ever. She was going to protect this, protect him. She wiped the tears of her face and followed Gajeel up to save their familia.
Erza and Juvia were lsot in the maze of the vent. Juvia was squirming as her but began to bumb the sides of the small box. She was tired "Erza san.. Juvia wants to stretch her neck…"
"Were almost there Juvia.. just wait a little more." Erza was persistent. She heard several gunshots from the last vent they came upon and surely it was not possible for them to just pop out of that room.
At last after a while Erza spotted the light coming from the outside. Erza pushed the knots and bolts and the grills blocking the vent of their way. She can smell the trees and grass as she went out she saw no sight of the enemy. She pulled out Juvia, who felt relieved be able to stretch her back. Erza moved the slit of her skirt and pulled out a revolving gun from her thigh's garter. Juvia did the same and replenished the bullets in hers. They walked carefully to the side of the walls and heard nothing . They were at the forest path of fairy tail. They walked slowly but before Erza noticed Juvia was hit at the back of her head causing her to fall unconscious to the ground, she turned around to meet a dark haired woman pointing a gun at her directly to her face. Erza tried to disarm the gun but the woman was fast as well. She kicked Erza's hand with her heel and strangled her. "So it is true… The great Erza will soon be married." The woman chuckled at the sight of the wedding ring. "Too bad there won't be a bride.." She twisted Erza's arm and pulled out the ring and examined. "Ohh I pity the groom…shame that even he won't make it. "
Erza did a high kick, stunning the woman. She touched her forehead at pain and shouted, "You little-"
Erza sprung forward and gave her a number of attacks, leaving her blocking and merely just defending her self "Yes I'm a bitch, you dare lay a finger over Jellal I'm going to fucking kill you!"
The woman chuckled in delight. "Ohh I like a little feisty." Erza had enough she came kicking and punching her way. As soon as she was able to find a spot she punched her and made her fall to the ground. The woman was quick, despite the dizziness she pulled herself to regain an attack. The two kept fighting while Juvia was still unconscious.
Jellal was on the second floor with Gray, they were cornered by dozens of men and they both had to attack them all in order to get thru to the other side. Both did amazing attacks, but everything was tiring. IT was as if there was an unlimited number of the enemy. Jellal pushed Gray towards the one at his back while He went under to disarm the man aiming at Gray.
They succeeded as soon as they finished them all. While taking their breaths They noticed a man standing up weakly. Gray came over but before he did, the man took out his phone and pressed a button.
"GRAY!" Jellal shouted. Gray was able to dodge the explosion by crashing towards the door at his right Jellal dodged it by hiding over the wall's side. It wasn't as big of an explosion but it was able to revert Erza's focus. She looked up at the second floor of the building watching shattered glass fall from the explosion. The black haired woman used this as a chance seeing how strong Erza was , she shot Erza's arm making flinch at the pain. Kneeling to the ground as blood dripped from her shoulder. The woman ran towards her and kicked Erza's head with her knee sending her to fall unconsciously as well.
Erza was pulled and carried towards the car that came a few moments after the woman kicked her. Orga came out of the car and asked "who is this?"
She smiled "One of fairy tail's jewels"
"Man, you gotta inform us how much hostage were gonna get Madam Minerva, then next time we'll get the bigger car."
"This was unexpected" She grunted.
Rufus came running "Let's go, were getting out numbered by the second." He looked at The mansion, seeing smoke and fire mixing together as the sun was setting. "Fairy tail's ending is getting nearer…"
"Oh what a dream come true " Minerva added. She chuckled and went in the caer with Rufus while Orga went inside the truck where Laxus and the Don were tied up into.
Juvia opened her eyes as she saw the smoke coming out from the window getting bigger and bigger. She sat up and looked for Erza, she heard an engine nearby revving. She ran towards the sound and saw a two black cars and a truck driving away. She saw red hair poking out one of the cars and assumed that Erza was kidnapped. She shouted "No! Erza!" Juvia was shocked she took out her gun and tried to break the glass of the window hoping ERza could escape but seeing no movement from the head she may be immobilized.
Jellal heard Juvia's scream, Gray and he ran for the window and saw her firing at the cars driving away form the lot. Juvia was screaming and crying. Jellal looked at the cars and saw that Erza was inside one of them.
"No.."
Jellal jumped out of the window landing safely to the ground he ran towards where Juvia was and aimed the gun as well. He was much better, considering the chief of the FBI. He shot one of the 12 tired trucks, Orga saw this he immediately shouted "Let me handle this!"
He took out his gun and aimed it to the two, Gray took out a sniper from one of the rooms he hid into and aimed it at Orga. Just before Orga could strike Jellal Gray shot him twice making him fall from the truck.
One of the men called Minerva asking of they should stop for Orga but Minerva couldn't care more, she said "Leave the trash, we've got bigger business to attend to."
As soon as the cars left the grounds Jellal panted, Gray came and asked "Who were in there?"
Juvia spoke.. "Erza.."
"I'm assuming the Don and Laxus as well.." he looked at the both of them. "We have to find safe ground. " the two nodded and all three went their separate ways to save the others left inside.
Jellal ran to the other side thinking "I'll get to you Erza, just wait.. " with the motivation in his head any enemy that came to him were all defeated.
In the car, "What are you planning to do with this one?"
Minerva looked at Erza's pretty face and said "Just some fun.." she smile devilishly as they drove back to the castle, where Hades and Jiemma wait at the dining hall.
