Sorry for the long wait everyone! Gomen ne...
As I promised, here's the new chapter. Hope you like it!
During the Miss Fairy Tail Contest, when it was time for Lucy's turn, Evergreen showed up. She turned Lucy into stone. Max called all the non-guild members to run out of he guild for their safety. Leora charged towards Evergreen. "What are you doing, Ever?!" yelled Leora as she jumped onto the stage. "Leora, wait! Don't look into her eyes!" warned Gray, but it was too late. Evergreen had already petrified Leora. Just then, Laxus used his lightning and landed on the stage.
Laxus announced a Fairy Tail Fight. He took all the Miss Fairy Tail contestants along with Leora as hostages. Natsu was hyped and charged towards Laxus but was took down by his lightning. Laxus used his lightning as a flash bang and got away with the Thunder God Tribe. The battle of Fairy VS Fairy had began. Master Makarov wanted to go out and fight too but Freed had cast an enchantment around the guild and forbid anyone above 80 to get out of the guild. Everyone was battling their own comrades in order to save the others. Natsu and Gajeel was going to head out of the guild too but they couldn't get out.
Erza somehow managed to get free from Evergreen's spell. She ran out of the guild and took out Evergreen. All of the contestants were back to normal. Leora wanted to charge out the guild to find Laxus but failed. Another set of words appeared in the air. It wrote: "Leora shall not pass." Laxus had activated Thunder Palace, taking the who town as hostages. The master got a heart attack after yelling at Laxus angrily. The others went to the balcony to look at the outside. Bisca shot one the the Thunder Palace down, but was attacked due the the Organic Link magic that Laxus cast onto the Thunder Palace. The others who were freed from Evergreen's spell went out to fight, except for Levy who's finding out a way to get Natsu and Gajeel out of the enchantment.
Levy has finally managed to rewrite Freed's spell. Natsu, Gajeel and Leora all headed out to search for Laxus. Leora took her time searching for Laxus while observing the surroundings. She could see all her comrades all beat up. She took a deep breath to calm herself down before using her sense of smell to track Laxus down. She tracked Laxus down to Kardia Cathedral. She ran inside to stop between Natsu and Laxus. "Stop it already, Laxus." said Leora as she spread open her arms. "What are you doing here?!" asked Laxus angrily. "To stop you. This has gone too far. Everyone's hurt." said Leora as she got into her stance. "Leora, this is my fight!" yelled Natsu. "It's mine now. Step back for a minute." ordered Leora with a serious face. Natsu nodded before moving back.
"You know you're no match for me." said Laxus. "It's been a long time since we brawled. I have gotten stronger." said Leora as she moved forward to punch Laxus in the gut. Laxus stepped back before deciding to charge his lightning. "Step back now or else." warned Laxus. "You should know my answer." said Leora. "This is your choice! You better not regret it!" yelled Laxus as he threw a big ball of lightning towards Leora. "Leora!" yelled Natsu worriedly as he saw Leora took the blow. When the dust cleared, Leora was still standing. Natsu felt relieved. "Natsu, I'm giving your turn back. I'm gonna head out." said Leora as lighting can be seen surrounding her. "What are you going to do?" asked Natsu curiously. Laxus knew what Leora was gonna do. "Don't you even think about it! That's crazy!" yelled Laxus angrily. "Only you know me best Laxus. I'm going to take out the Thunder Palace, Natsu." said Leora with a small smile. "You can't do that!" yelled Natsu. "Believe in me, Natsu. I won't die from that." said Leora as she dashed out of the building with the lightning she absorbed from Laxus.
Leora stood on top of a building. She used telepathy magic to connect with everyone who was still conscious. "Guys! Don't attack the Thunder Palace!" said Leora through telepathy. "Leora? You're alright?" asked Gray. "Yea, I'm fine. Erza, drop your swords." said Leora. "Do you have a plan?" asked Erza. "Yup. So fine someone to carry me back to guild later." said Leora. "What are you going to do, Leora-chan?!" asked Lucy. "Just believe in me." said Leora. "Alright." said Erza. "Fine. Destroy it." said Gray. "I'll come and pick you up." said Lucy. "We'll come too." said Mirajane. "Thanks guys." said Leora.
Leora took a deep breath. "Lightning dragon's roar!" yelled Leora as she used a breath attack to destroy the entire Thunder Palace. Although, she can now use lightning, she still dealt a major attack back from the Thunder Palace. Leora looked at her masterpiece and smiled before dropping onto the roof and fell to the ground.
Natsu successfully defeated Laxus with the help of Gajeel. Master Makarov's also in a good condition.
Leora slowly opened her eyes to find herself in the medical room. "You're finally awake." Leora slowly got up from the bed and saw master Makarov sitting at the end of the bed. "Gramps, you're okay!" yelled Leora happily. "Well, I can't say the same for you." said the master as he looked at Leora, she had bandages wrapped all around her body. "I'll be fine. I didn't die from destroying the Thunder Palace." said Leora with a grin. "That's reckless! I thought I'd lost you for good this time!" yelled the master with tears flowing down his cheeks. "I'm fine now, so don't worry." said Leora. She smelled a familiar scent downstairs. "Laxus..." muttered Leora with a small smile. "You can go down there. But be careful." said the master as he hopped down from the bed. "Thanks, gramps." said Leora as she headed out out the room.
As Leora headed out the room, she heard everyone yelling at Laxus angrily. "SHUT. UP." said Leora in a deadly voice, the noise from everyone's yelling was killing her. Everyone immediately went silent. "Leora-chan! You're awake!" yelled Lucy happily. "Yeah." said Leora with a grin before turning to Laxus. "He's in the medical room through here." said Leora as she pointed the direction out to Laxus. Laxus started to walk towards Leora but was stop by Natsu. "Mngaghhhhh!" yelled Natsu who had bandages wrapped around his mouth. ""I'm not settling for two on one crap! Next time, you're going down for sure! You better fight me again next time, Laxus!" He says." said Gajeel as he translated Natsu's words. "Next time? But I thought you two won." said Lucy. "I'm with him on this one, I rather not call this a victory. That guys a monster. If he's been around during the battle with Phantom, it gives me shivers thinking about it." said Gajeel.
Laxus walked right past Natsu. Natsu was yelling at him, but Laxus put his hand up and waved a sign saying "next time". Laxus stopped in front of Leora. "I thought you would have gotten more injuries." said Leora. "Look who's talking." said Laxus. "You overdid it again." "But now I can use lightning and telepathy magic too!" said Leora with a grin. "I'm getting more powerful!" Laxus just smiles at Leora before placing his headphones onto Leora, covering her ears. "That'll stop the noise." said Laxus. "Thanks, Laxus. See ya later." said Leora as she made way for Laxus to walk ahead. She then headed over to where the others are.
"Now then everyone. Let's get ready for the preparations." said Erza. "What's so scary about Laxus, Gajeel-nii?" asked Leora. "I'm not the only who thinks that he's scary." replied Gajeel. "He's not a monster. He's just Laxus." said Leora. "What do you mean, Leora-chan?" asked Lucy. "It means no matter how long has it been, he's still the same old Laxus." answered Leora. "The old Laxus didn't go berserk, you know." said Gray. "Berserk or not. As long as he still has that side, I don't care." said Leora as she put her hands on Laxus's headphones. "Which side?" asked Lucy. "Erza, I'm not performing right?" asked Leora. "Hey don't ignore me!" yelled Lucy.
At night, the Fairy Tail members who can still move participated in the Harvest Festival's parade. Leora who was not in the parade decided to watch from the sidelines. She caught sight of Laxus and jumped onto him, startling him. "Laxus, how are your injuries?" asked Leora. "They'll heal in a couple of days, but what about yours? Lightning also damages the insides." said Laxus. "They'll heal in a couple of days too." said Leora. Leora noticed the bag on Laxus's hand. "Are you going somewhere again?" asked Leora. Laxus kept quiet for a minute before answering. "Yeah, gonna travel for a while." said Laxus with a sad smile. "You'll bring back something to me again right?" asked Leora with pleading eyes. "Y-yeah, I will." said Laxus, not looking into Leora's eyes. "Then you gonna need your headphones." said Leora as she handed over the headphones to Laxus. "Nah, keep it. It'll keep you away from annoying sounds when I'm not around." said Laxus as he placed the headphones on Leora's neck.
"Ne, Laxus." muttered Leora. "I'm gonna miss you." "I'll miss you too."said Laxus as he patted Leora's head. "Until you come back, I'll have Leo-nii, Gajeel-nii and the others to accompany me." said Leora. "Leo-nii? Gajeel-nii?" asked Laxus with a brow raised. "Leo-nii is Loke, I used to play with him and the others when I was a kid and Gajeel-nii is my not blood-related brother." explained Leora. "Since when did you got your memories back?" asked Laxus. "Not too long ago. But, I still have a lot to remember." said Leora as she laid her head on Laxus's shoulder. "I'm sure you'll remember all of them soon." said Laxus. "I need to go now." Laxus put down Leora.
As soon as he got Leora down, he felt something. He saw master Makarov and everyone else hold up their hands with a symbol of a gun pointing upward. Laxus remembered that sign. He was the one who created it. Tears started to fall down across Laxus's cheeks. "Even if we can't see where you are, we are always watching you anyway." said Leora as she did the sign as well. Laxus hugged Leora tightly. "Thanks for everything, Leora." said Laxus. "Thanks gramps..." "See ya, Laxus." said Leora as she returned the hug. "Ah.." replied Laxus as he let go of Leora and left the place.
A week has passed since the Harvest Festival came to a close. The town had finally returned to its original relaxed atmosphere. Naturally, the excommunication of Laxus from the guild came as something as a shock to everyone. Leora was the only one left in the dark. No one wanted to tell her the bad news.
"It just ain't right, old man! Why'd you have to drive Laxus away from the guild?!" yelled Natsu angrily. "He's still one of our comrades! That doesn't change just 'cause we got into a fight!" "Give it up already Natsu." said Erza. "I still have a rematch with him!" whined Natsu. "That's enough!" yelled Erza, a hand on Natsu's shoulder. "Stop it already, Natsu. Leora-chan's gonna be here any min-" said Lucy but was cut off when the door was kicked open.
"What did you say, Natsu?" asked Leora. Everyone looked to the ground, not wanting to look into Leora's eyes. Leora walked to the bar counter and stood in front of the master Makarov. "Gramps, is it true? Is Laxus really excommunicated from the guild?" asked Leora as she lowered her head and waited for an answer. "Yes." said the master. As soon as Leora heard the answer, she ran out to the back of the guild. She dropped to her knees and screamed loudly to the sky. Tears started to fall down her cheeks and lightning enwrapped around her.
The others were worried and came to the back of the guild to check on Leora. They were shocked by the scene in front of them. Lightning surrounded Leora and some came through the sky and hit around Leora. "What are we gonna do?! We can't get close to her like this!" yelled Gray through the sounds of lightning crashing. "She out of control!" yelled Erza. "Master, do you have a plan?" asked Mirajane. "No, I'm afraid not. The last time she was in this kind of state, only Laxus could stopped her." said the master. "Then what are we gonna do?!" asked Lucy in panic. "Gajeel, don't you have any idea how to stop her?!" asked Natsu. "The lion managed to calm her down when Metalicana disappeared!" yelled Gajeel. "Open! Gate of Lion! Loke!" yelled Lucy as she summoned Loki. "Leave it to me." said Loke as he walked towards Leora.
Loke wrapped his arms around Leora despite the lightning around her hitting him. "Leora, it's me, Loke. Everything's gonna be alright, okay?" asked Loke. Leora stopped screaming but continued to sob. "L-Leo-nii... L-Laxus got e-excommunicated..." said Leora while sobbing. "I won't get to see him again!" "Shh... Calm down. Has Laxus ever left you alone without returning back?" asked Loke. "N-no... He always come back." said Leora. "Exactly. He'll come back. I'm not sure when he'll do, but he'll come back to see you for sure." said Loke. "Really?" asked Leora as she stopped crying. The lightning also disappeared. "Yes. Really." assured Loke. Leora nodded and hugged Loke.
"Leora-chan, don't ever do that again! You scared us!" yelled Lucy. "Sorry." said Leora. She then turned to face the master. "Sorry, gramps. I got out of control again." said Leora as she lowered her head. "I'm just glad you didn't hurt yourself like last time." said the master. "What happened last time?" asked Gray. "You didn't know?" asked Erza. "Gray and Natsu were knocked out. They didn't saw what happened." said Leora. "Then tell us what happened." said Natsu. "After the two of you were knocked out, that guy wanted to kill the both of you. I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I started crying and my powers went out of control. My fire went everywhere. It stopped spreading only when Laxus came to stop me. After I calmed down, me, the enemy even Laxus was burned. Luckily I didn't burn Gray or Natsu." said Leora. "Wait, so this is the third time?!" asked Gajeel shocked. "You did say Loke managed to calm Leora down when Metalicana disappeared." said Happy.
Leora immediately turned to face Loke. "Leo-nii, are you okay?!" asked Leora worriedly. "I didn't mean to hurt you!" "I'm alright. At least I'm not cut by steel this time, haha. And don't think about using Transfer on me." said Loke. "I'll just go back to rest. Take care." Loke went back into the Celestial Spirit world.
"Gajeel-nii..." said Leora tiredly. Gajeel went towards Leora and lifted her up bridal style. "Just rest. I'll carry you back to my room." said Gajeel. "What's wrong?" asked Lucy. "The outburst just now used up a lot of Leo-chan's magic." explained Levy. "See ya, everyone. And thanks, Gajeel-nii..." muttered Leora before falling asleep. "I'll do anything for you, Leo." said Gajeel as he kissed Leora's forehead and took her to her room to let her rest.
