"I'm sorry.. Just please sign the papers."
"Jellal, I don't understand!?"
Jellal stood quietly with expressionless eyes. "I am no longer the chief of operations of the FBI.."
Lucy dropped her mouth in shock "why.. What happened.?!"
Jellal went silent hesitant to say a word.
"It seems they bombed the headquarters as well.. For some reason they knew.. Who we were.."
Lucy panicked she quickly thought about her friend "yukino?!".
At Saber's grounds..
Rogue woke up from the cold floor. His hands and feet were chained. He felt like his head was hit several times. His body ached so much he gave out a groan that made Sting at the other cell worry.
"Rogue! Are you alright..?"
He was full of bruises and his left eye was bleeding. Rogue tried to remember what happened to him. He coughed at the lump of saliva in his throat. He said weakly "sting.. i'm sorry.. I did something terrible.."
Sting held his hand on the wall thinking of his dear friend. "Why.. What did you do.."
"I told them about her...Yukino Agria"
Sting's eyes grew in shock,
"WHAT?! Rogue! She had nothing to do with this!"
"T-they forced me.. I'm sorry Sting!"
Sting was silent for a moment.. " is it frosch.."Rogue didn't reply for a moment which meant a "yes" to Sting.
Rogue suddenly spoke up "they were about to torture him, put him in the same state as me. I was told that If I wouldn't speak up they'd take him far away, and strip him from the education program master Jiemma gave him... Sorry Sting... I couldn't let his dream be taken away-"
"Rogue.. Do you wish to live like this for eternity? Using Frosch as your blackmail.. And my mother too"
"Sting.."
"We have to fight..This is no familia.. Me staying at Fairy Tail made me realize the importance of camaraderie.."
Rogue kept listening..
" we have to find a way to get out of here and fight them-" sting was cut off by the sound of rattling chains from the stairs.
The dungeon's doors suddenly opened and a group of guards came in. There were three captives.. Sting went closer to his bars and saw a n extremely chained Laxus and Erza.
An old man, which was gramps was carried as if beaten up. He was weak and was carried draggingly on the guards shoulder. Erza and Laxus were covered in bruises and limping in pain. Sting stared and followed their movements, when Erza suddenly spotted him from afar, she immediately went to his cell and pulled his hair. She stuck her face in between the bars and shouted at him " You traitor!? I am going to kill you for this! Our family lost several lives because of you!" A guard pulled Erza away but she continued "I'm going to kill you Sting!? Because of you Lucy is in danger! All of us are going to take this on you, you fucking bastard!"
The guard knocked out Erza making her fall unto the ground, Laxus tried to kick the guards and defend Erza but he was pulled behind and tazed to unconsciousness.
Sting saw that they both fell unconsciously and were dragged on the floor to the other wing of the dungeon.
Rogue silently asked "are you alright Sting..
"Lucy as well.." He whispered.
"We have to get out of here Rogue.. We have to save them."
"After all they have said to you?!" Rogue exclaimed.
"They were right.." Sting looked at the dungeon's door. " i did betray them.. No this time I have to save them to prove my guilt.."
"Sting.."
"We're their only hope.." Sting said sternly.
Rogue smiled at his leadership. He then asked "so what are going to do..Don of Saber?"
At fairy tail..
Lucy pleaded to Jellal. Fortunately, he already called HQ and confirm the safety of Yukino and the others, but Lucy was restless, all the more she wanted to take revenge.
Jellal stopped her from over thinking. " Lucy-san, i promised your father that if anything comes up related to your family's history on this mission, I should let you go.."
"What? How did he-"
"Jude Heartfilia was fully aware that at some point in time he will be haunted by his past's mistakes, he begged me to atleast save you from the possibility of dying because of him."
Lucy clenched her fist "my father does not make my decisions! I have the right to choose what I want.."
"Even if this highly affects Natsu as well?"
Lucy was startled, she stopped herself from pressing her palms on the table.
"What do you mean.."
"With you around Natsu is vulnerable.."
Lucy looked down on herself " do you think of me so low.."
Jellal stared at her "natsu is..
"Natsu isn't weak!" Lucy shouted. "He's not like that.. I promised we'd be together.. He promised.. And I won't break that.." Just before Lucy held her head up Jellal immediately came towards her and aimed her stomach dropping her unconscious in his arm.
The door in front of him creaked open and with a serious expression Natsu, Gajeel and Gray came in with a few of the members. "I'm sorry, Natsu.." Jellal spoke sincerely.
Natsu caught Lucy and carried her like a princess. "I know what we are in to.. And I wouldn't want her to be part of this.."
He turned around to go to the other side of the hallway to prevent anyone from seeing Lucy being carried out.
Just before they disappeared out of sight, Gajeel whispered "suicidal mission eh?"
Jellal shook his head "no.. There's just no guarantee everyone could survive"
Gray spoke suddenly "y'know you could still go.. Your not really part of our familia.. This is our business and we wouldn-"
"Erza is my life."
Jellal looked at them with a half smile. "No matter where she goes she's my home.. Even if you didn't really count me in the family, being with her was enough for me."
A short pause filled in the room. "Till death.. do we part.."
Juvia started tears in her eyes. She hugged Gray and he felt shocked. With a short gesture he patted her head and as she looked up he said "everything's gonna be alright, Juvia"
"Gray- sama... If we do-"
"I love you.."
Juvia's ears perked up, she looked at him with a shocking expression. It was the first time she heard him say it whole heartedly (and seriously). She cried even more wishing that this moment wouldn't end. Everyone in the room was starting to realize that this could be their final battle.
Levy looked at Gajeel from afar with a worried look, he gave her a thumbs up and accompanied it with a comforting grin.
Levy tried to smile but she couldn't stop the tears forming in her eyes at the memory of her two friends.
Everyone looked at each other comforting one another and passing on eachothers strength. Cana tried calling her father but he didn't pick up, she sent a message explaining what was happening and for sure Gildarts couldn't make it. She sighed and typed at her last note "i love you dad"
Everyone was exchanging words of love afraid that the person they maybe hugging or talking with would be the last they would see or hear from.
As soon as everyone was ready they waited till Dawn and climbed back up. Small beams of light were illuminated from the sun as they all walked towards the garage luckily a few of their cars were still durable.
Capo Strauss took the hummer while Capo Clive took the other one, single cars were left, just before Natsu went in his Wendy ran to him with Happy and her cat Carla in her hands. Her cheeks were puffy and eyes were red, Natsu petted his cat happy and hugged Wendy tightly. It was agreed that Romeo and her would be under Porlyusica's care tonight.
Natsu looked at her with hopeful eyes "try not to make him fat, wendy"
"Natsu-san.. Please try to come back."
Romeo followed after "natsu-nii.."
Natsu ruffled he hair of the indigo-haired boy and chuckled "take care of her Romeo". Natsu smiled widely and went inside the car. He brought down his window and grinned at Porlyusica "were taking back gramps, no matter what!"
Everyone reeved their engine's and turned on the universal phone installed in the cars that were left. Jellal, who was with Natsu in the car asked "everyone ready?".
Everyone placed on a serious expression. Knowing the dangers of the battle ahed they were determined to save their family and friends.
Natsu asked Jellal "where to now?"
"To Hades' Fortress."
