Chapter Thirteen

Awakenings

The Fairy Tail trio arrived at the zone of destruction finding the defeated Beast upon the ground. Gray glanced at it before quickly moving toward where the attack came from finding Harry seating against the wall, holding her side.

"Harry you okay?" he asked.

"I`ll live," she said, gasping in pain.

"Hey what are you doing here?" Natsu yelled pointing at her.

"You…You`re that woman from the Temple," Lucy said.

Harry glanced up at them.

"Seems you found your friends in time," she said.

"You`re wounded," Gray said, looking at the blood on her clothes.

She chuckled.

"I`ve taken worse," she said.

Suddenly the area around them started to shake, causing them to look around themselves.

"What is going on?" Lucy said.

"We have to get out of here," Harry said, "These old ruins…must not be stable anymore…Aagh."

She had tried to stand up but her wound throbbed painfully causing her to fall back down again.

"Here let me help," Gray said, throwing her arm around his shoulder, "C`mon, let`s go."

They all walked out of the basements ruins arriving outside. The four of them glanced at the ruins noticing that they roof was gone, giving way toward a large flying machine.

"What on earth?" Lucy said.

"Thank you Dragon Slayer," a voice floated out of the flying machine, "Thanks to you…my Lacrima is at full power…and I will destroy Era and wipe it out of the map."

"That's Silverstone," Lucy said.

"We can still catch up to that machine of his," Natsu said, "Let`s go Happy."

The blue cat took hold of his clothes and then summoned his wings. Then the two took off after the flying craft.

"Wait Natsu you don't have any magic…left," Lucy finished lamely.

Natsu was long gone before she could finish her sentence.

"That hothead," Gray said, "He just charged in without waiting for any of us…Damn it."

"Wait," Harry said, leaning into him, "He must have transportation somewhere…to bring all that equipment here. We find that…we can follow them."

Gray sighed.

"Let`s hope you`re right," he said.

The Dragon Slayer, with Happy`s help, flew after the flying craft. He stared straight at it.

"WAIT FOR ME, I WANT TO BEAT YOU UP," he yelled.

He glanced toward one of the window which was opened.

"In there Happy," he said.

The blue cat put him inside of it and then the Dragon Slayer glanced down the hallway angrily running toward where he smelt someone presence…but the craft shifted…

Natsu found himself on the ground with his face green.

"I didn`t even thinks that it will be transportation," he said, "Oh, I`m going to hurl…"

Happy sighed, a large sweat drop, appearing on his head.

"Natsu…you never think,"

The rest of the guys had found a small car just as Harry had predicted. They had put her into the backseat and Gray was the one driving as fast as he could so that he could keep up with the flying craft.

"Damn you Natsu," he said, "You know how bad you are with transportation."

From the back, Lucy had tied a piece of clothes around Harry`s wound causing the older girl to yell out in pain.

"We have to get you to a hospital soon," she said.

"I`ll be alright," she said, "That Beast was abnormally powerful."

Lucy nodded and turned toward Gray.

"Gray aren`t we going a little too fast?"

"We have to catch up to that thing and get on before it gets too far," he said, "and we have to take it down before it reaches Era...this guy`s target is the Council after what you told us."

Harry was frowning as if she was deep in thoughts.

"There should be a cliff not too far away from here," she said, "If the craft hadn`t gained altitude yet, we might have a chance to get on board and help the Dragon Slayer."

The Ice wizard glanced toward the craft which was still flying low. It must be gathering power to go higher and he can see the cliff that Harry was talking about earlier…

"Alright, let see what this thing can do," he said.

He accelerated even more as the car flew through the trees and was now running on solid rocky ground aiming straight for the cliff as the flying craft was flying by it. He yelled as he put more speed into it until the car flew off the cliff, flying in the air for at least a few seconds before crashing into the side of the craft creating a large hole there…

"Made it," Gray said, huffing slightly.

"Gray you okay?" Lucy asked.

"I`ll live," he said stepping out of the crashed car, "We`ve got to find Natsu and destroy that Lacrima."

Harry had stepped out of the car, holding her side along with Lucy.

"You shouldn`t be walking around," the blonde told her.

"I keep telling you," she said, "That I'll be fine. Let`s find that Dragon Slayer."

The trio took off into one direction.

Silverstone glanced at the images he was seeing via Lacrimas in front of him, gritting his teeth. Those damn wizards are going to get in the way of his master plan.

I won't let them interfere, he thought, I`ve spend too long planning this…I won`t let those Council lackeys get in the way of my plan.

He pressed a button upon where he was seating.

I wasn't planning to use them till Era but I don't have a choice. If I want to take care of those wizards before I get to Era.

He tightened his fist.

I will have my vengeance, he thought, No one will stop this from happening. Not even Guild Wizards.

Happy was pulling upon Natsu`s clothes as the Dragon Slayer started to move slowly with his face green as grass.

"C'mon Natsu," he said.

"I have to find that guy," he said, "I have to find him and make him pay for what he is doing…Urp."

Happy`s attention was drawn toward a group of strange things that were coming from behind Natsu. His eyes went wide in fear.

"NATSU WE`VE GOT TO GO OR WE WILL BE KILLED," he yelled pulling Natsu along with him thought he was hardly doing anything.

The enemies started to loom even closer and were almost upon them when a voice yelled.

"Ice Make Lance,"

The attacks took down all of the enemies coming at them and Happy glanced behind him finding the rest of the guys there.

"Gray, Lucy," he yelled.

The trio arrived beside him and the dark haired girl was staring confused at Natsu.

"What`s wrong with him?"

"Transportation," Lucy and Gray said together.

The Ice wizard kneeled beside the motion sick Natsu, slapping him on the head.

"You know you`re no good at Transportation why the hell will you go up on a flying craft?"

"Gray you bastard…I`ll get you for this…Urp," Natsu answered.

The one in black sighed and kneeled beside Natsu putting a hand upon his head as a magic circle appeared there and suddenly Natsu was up on his feet.

"I am REVIVED," he yelled.

Gray glanced at her.

"How did you do that?" he asked her.

The one in black glanced at him.

"I`ve removed his motion sickness," she said, "But it`s only for a while…we will need every help we can get to destroy this thing before it reaches Era."

"Was that Healing Magic?" Lucy asked.

The dark haired girl shook her head.

"No, it was Mind Magic," she said.

"Mind Magic?" Gray repeated, confused.

"I don't care what kind of magic it is," Natsu said, with a large grin on his face as he keeps running in circle, "I can handle transportation."

Lucy was frowning a little.

The dark haired girl summoned fire again.

"Here Dragon Slayer," she said, "Get back at full strength again. Fire of Chaos."

She fire it straight at him as the flames engulfed Natsu`s form. Then they simply disappeared as Natsu eat them all up.

"Yeah that was some good fire," he said, wiping his mouth, "NOW I`M FIRED UP."

He grinned tightening his fist.

"Now we deal with that guy and that lacrima of his," he said.

Happy took notices of more of those strange things that had attacked them appearing all in the hallway again.

"Here come more of them," he yelled.

"This is the end for you meddling wizards," Silverstone`s voice said, echoing all around them, "You will face my strongest experiments and die doing it. None of you will stop my plan of destroying Era."

"There are a whole lot of them," Lucy said as she glanced around.

Natsu slammed his fists together.

"I don't care how many they are," he said, as flames appeared around them, "BRING IT ON."

He charged forward.

"FIRE DRAGON SWORD HORN," he yelled.

He tore through the enemies causing some explosions on the corridor they were in.

"Here he goes again," Happy said with a shrugging motion.

Gray turned his attention toward the ones coming from behind, slamming his fist unto his open palm.

"Ice Make Lance," he yelled.

Lucy pulled out one of her Gate keys and said.

"Open, Gate of the Golden Bull…TAURUS," she said.

A large seal appeared upon the floor as a cow burst from the ground with a large axe upon his back.

"MOOO, I will protect your boobs Lucy," he yelled as he appeared.

Then he glanced toward Lucy a pervy look upon his face.

"Looking sexy as usual Lucy," he said giving her a thumbs up.

"Thanks Taurus and now we`ve got a fight on our hands," Lucy said pointing toward the enemy.

"For your boobs, I will fight, MOOO" Taurus yelled drawing out his large fighting Axe and slamming it upon the ground.

The attack blew away a lot of the enemies.

"Nice one Taurus," Lucy said.

Harry turned toward where Natsu had gone.

"We have to find that Lacrima," she said, "Blue cat, fly toward the Dragon Slayer and tell him to tear this ship apart."

"Aye sir," Happy said before flying forward in search of Natsu.

Explosions and booms echoed across the craft as Silverstone tightened his hands.

DAMN THOSE WIZARDS, he thought.

He stared up toward the front as the view of a familiar city appeared in the horizon. Then a dark grin started to appear upon his lips.

"Yes," he said, "My revenge is near completion…All of you will crumble underneath my might Magic Council."

An explosion took place again as Natsu blew the strange enemies away with his Dragon Slayer Magic.

"WHERE ARE YOU HIDING?" he yelled, "COME OUT SO I CAN TEACH YOU A LESSON."

He threw a flaming punch forward causing another hole inside a wall. He glanced around himself still in search of the guy who had tried to steal his magic and Lucy`s, but there was no sign of that guy.

"NAAATSUUUU,"

He glanced toward it, finding his little blue cat.

"Happy," he said, "I can`t find that guy who had tried to steal my magic and as well as Lucy`s. I want to beat him up so bad."

"That girl in black told me to tell you to destroy the ship," Happy told him as he flew around him.

Natsu stared at him.

"Destroy?" he repeated.

Then a devilish grin grew on his face.

"I`M EVEN MORE FIRED UP," he yelled as flames grew all around him, "FIRE DRAGON ROAR."

The blast caused an explosion which blew the side of the ship into nothingness, but the young Dragon Slayer wasn`t done.

"Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame," he yelled throwing another large blast of fire at the ship which exploded.

"FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST,"

Gray, Lucy and Harry were all running when the ship gave a nasty tilt causing them to take hold of their surroundings.

"What the…?" Lucy said, as the craft shook again as they heard thunderous booms in the distance.

"Guess Natsu got the message," Gray smirked.

Another boom shook their surroundings the craft tilting a little more.

"I think we`re going down," Harry said with a smirk on her face.

"THIS ISN`T THE TIME TO BE SMILING," Lucy yelled, "WE CAN DIE HERE."

Silverstone just become aware that the craft he had spend so long to build was falling apart. He couldn't believe that he was so close and yet, the ship was falling apart as it started to tilt down toward the ground.

"NO, this can`t be happening," he yelled, "THIS CAN`T BE HAPPENING."

But even as he was yelling, the reality was the craft was falling out of the sky as it reaches closer toward Era. It continued to fall with the enormous explosions, causing tall black smokes to come out of it until it crashed face first into the ground right outside the city. The Lacrima which had been placed at the front of the ship was the first thing to be destroyed during the crash landing, followed by the rest of the ship which slid to a stop outside of the city wall.

Disaster had been averted.

Silverstone was stepping out of the wreckage, his clothes dusted as he crawled on all four. He was huffing loudly and coughing also.

"So this is where you are," a voice said.

He turned around.

It was the Dragon Slayer, standing in the flames with his eyes glowing like the Devil. For the first time in this life, Silverstone had started to feel fear…

"Stay away from me you monster," he yelled.

Natsu approached closer toward him.

"A monster am I?" he said, "So you, who had been kidnapping wizards all over Fiore…conned the guilds by requesting a fake job to steal their magic, and was about to use that magic to destroy an entire city?"

He summoned flames in both of his hands.

"You`re much of a monster than I am," he said, "And there is a way I deal with monsters…"

He charged straight forward at him and Silverstone was shaking in his boots.

"FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK,"

He blasted Silverstone through the walls of the city of Era destroying a couple of houses and the man slammed against a statue which was knocked down and destroyed a large mansion.

Gray, Lucy Happy and Harry had watched the entire thing.

"There he goes," Happy said.

"I know," Lucy said, "BUT YOU`RE GOING WAY OVERBOARD AGAIN NATSU."

"Mh," Gray said, standing in his underwear.

"Where the hell are your clothes?" Lucy yelled at him.

"What the…I was just dressed a minute ago," Gray yelled noticing his state of undress.

Harry stared at them and couldn`t help but feel a little proud at the guild she helped create. If Fairy Tail had wizards such as these guys, then a bright future laid open for them.

What do you know Mavis, she thought, Your guild got some interesting characters over the years…

That was the last thing she thought before she passed out from blood lost.

Yeah, this Arc is over.
