Zera's POV
"Mira can you stay here and take care of these men if I send up the army?" I said
"Of course, but do you really think you can catch them?" she asked.
"I know I can, because I have to. I will not let three precious members of my family be kept away from us all. I will bring them home Mira." I said as I walked to the edge of the platform with my back to her.
"Not by yourself you won't." I heard the familiar voice of Mavis say.
"Alright then let's go great grams. VUELO." I said as Mavis hovered up next to me taking my hand even though I couldn't feel it and we flew out of the cavern. We made it to the army base at the town and sent them up to arrest all the men from that guild and then I flew to a satisfactory height over all the mountains in the area as to not run into the and said, "Elemoores, if you want to stay with us jump in the pouch." as I pulled a large messenger bag from thin arm strapping it on. They all climbed inside besides Cordelia who refused and jumped into the pocket of my jacket instead with her head poking out as to see all that was going on.
I then looked to everyone and said, "Everyone ready?"
"Couldn't be more." Came the response from everyone.
"Alright here we go. I invoke course navette to the Boscan port of Grandol." and like that we we speeding past everything at a speed where nothing was clearly visible just blurs of color.
The blurs of color around me were slowly making me dizzy, so I closed my eyes, but only to open then 1 minute later when we slowed down. I quickly opened my eyes and stopped us quickly as we were about to run into the mast of the docked ship Wendy was on. The only problem was I couldn't really stop fast enough so we all fell into the crows nest. It was a good thing though, because if not we could have gotten into some serious trouble and I didn't want that, I just wanted to get Wendy Carla and Romeo back and go home.
When I looked around and counted that all 18 of my passengers were here I smiled and then looked over the edge of the crow's nest along with Mavis while the Elemoores all laid down on the crows nest railing to look with us. We saw a whole crew of the dark guild's members and in the very middle of the ship tied to the mast was a group of people who looked like slaves, one of whom was Wendy.
"Wendy!" I tried to yell to her but the Elemoores all covered my mouth.
"Shhhh!" they all said including Mavis.
"Sorry..." I whispered.
"Okay what are we gonna do?" Mavis said, "We have to save Wendy and Romeo some how. So what are we going to do to save them?"
"I think I should jump down from the crow's nest with Cordelia and you Mavis. Cordelia and I can distract the guards and Mavis can signal the rest of the Elemoores when its safe for them to come down here and go to the hull and rescue everyone else. Then Oriel can stay up here and untie Wendy first and then the others. You need to explain to them that their loved ones have already been saved from the dark guild, because if you don't then they won't let you try and destroy the dark guild members that are left and you certainly won't get Wendy's help if you don't explain that Romeo and Carla are safe. That goes just the same for the prisoners in the hull. They won't listen to you either if you don't explain that everyone else they love is safe." I said.
"Okay, but how are you going to distract them?" Flora asked.
"Cordelia and I will run around the deck and try to take them out one by one as they come after us." I said.
"Alright!" "Let's do this!" "We will succeed!" were just some of the examples of answers that came from everyone else.
"For Fairy Tail!" I yelled as loud as I could and grabbed Cordelia's hand as I jumped off the crow's nest and down to the deck.
"Fairy Tail has come calling!" I screamed and started fighting members of the dark guild.
Cordelia and I immediately succeeded in our task, but more so than we expected in the end because we drew all of the men except for three or four lingering men that stayed to watch the prisoners. In the end the task was a bit harder for me and Cordelia but much easier for everyone else.
Cordelia quickly trapped the half of the fighters that were out on deck in a bubble of water and threw them out miles into the ocean, but not letting the bubble pop so we could bring them back to Fiore to face the Magic Counsel. We then took the rest of them out one by one as they came up the stairs and onto the top deck. We had a pile in each direction at the top of the stairs of unconscious dark guild members and we looked behind us to see that Oriel and Mavis had freed the prisoners on the top deck and found the rest of the Elemoore girls had freed the prisoners on the lower deck.
"I say we tie them all up throw them in the cells in the basement and then sail home." Mavis said.
"Agreed." Romeo Wendy Carla the Elemoore girls and I chorused while getting strange looks from the rest of the conscious people on board. Who cares what they think about us we just saved them didn't we?
"Flora can you make magic cancelling vines to bind them?"
"Sure thing!" she said and tied them all up the using the vines to drag them all down into the cells below deck. Cordelia then called back the rest of the men and Aureli and Veata put them in a magic cancelling wind/air bubble in another one of the cells in the hull.
"Alright... Who knows how to sail this thing?" I said. I looked at everyone and they all had no idea so I turned to Mavis, "Any ideas great grams?"
"A friend of mine taught me to sail a long time ago. Its pretty simple. You need wind in the sail to push you and some one to steer (A/N: As you can obviously see I have no idea how to sail a giant boat or really any sail boat at all)"
"Okay, we can do this." i said "Romeo, I want you to stand at the very front of the ship. Tell me which direction to go by putting a blast of red fire for stop, green for go, purple for right and blue for left. Wendy, I need you to blow wind into the sail with your roar, and I need Carla to convey the messages from Romeo to Wendy. I will be up at the wheel with Mavis and the Elemoore girls, everyone else can just hang out. I promise on my honor as a Fairy Tail wizard and the First Master's great granddaughter that I will bring you all back to Fiore and ensure your freedom!" I said holding up the sign of Fairy Tail that Laxus had invented long ago.
"Hooray!" was the cheer I received from all the former prisoners of the dark guild. With that all the people settled in for the ride back to Fiore while Romeo Wendy Carla Mavis the Elemoore girls and I went over the plan a final time.
"So everyone know what to do?" I said.
Everyone nodded.
"Romeo if you get tired Oriel can take over and Wendy dame goes for you Aureli and Veata can take over if you need a break." I said
"We understand Z. Now let's go home!" Romeo said as we all had a big group hug.
"Okay, remember you can take a break if yo-" I said before I was interrupted.
"We know Z. Stop worrying. You are only 11 years old." Romeo said ruffling my hair.
"I know I shouldn't worry so much, but you two were just help in awful conditions for about a week, so it's okay to not be okay and need a rest for a while." I said.
"We know Z, but being freed from that dark guild was all we needed we are fine now let's go home." Wendy said.
"Okay!" I said beaming. "Let's go home. I'm sure Mira is freaking out back in Fiore without us."
"Let's set sail!" Oriel and Cordelia called as everyone took their positions and we set sail for home.
I knew it would be about a 3 hour trip so after about an hour and a half I sent Oriel to take Romeo's place and Aureli and Veata to take Wendy and Carla's places, but the three of them wouldn't rest unless I took a break to, so Cordelia took a turn being captain of the ship and the four of us at sat together at the back of the ship. I was in the very back corner snuggled up with my knees to my chest, Wendy was next to my with Carla on her lap, her head on Romeo's shoulder as she slept peacefully. Romeo was on the other side of her holding her close protectively while I resister the urge to 'aww' at them. They were so cute.
I guess I must have fallen asleep, because when I awoke I was laying across an entire bench on the train with what felt like a pillow, but I later found out to be Gray. I saw the same thing with the other's too. Wendy was asleep on Natsu, Romeo on Lucy and Carla on Happy. I then saw Mavis sitting with the Elemoor girls as they all laid across one bench and Master Makarov was across from them with Mira who was sleeping in a cat transformation so she was curled up in a ball. It was really cute! I could see that he and Mavis were having a very hushed conversation, probably hoping not to wake anyone up.
I then slowly sat up, thinking Gray was asleep and hoping not to wake him, but he was already up.
"Hey your awake." he said. "You've been out for three days. Mavis and Mira were worried about you, so they called the Master and he came along with the rest of us to bring you Wendy Romeo and Carla home. They were all out until late yesterday. Your the last one to wake up. You were staying at a Fiore Naval Hospital because Mira insisted you have some of the best care out there. She was really worried about you four. She didn't sleep for all three days and finally the train lulled her to sleep."
"I feel so bad." I said, my voice hoarse and scratchy.
"I wouldn't do that if I was you Zera." he said, "You should wait to speak until we get back to the guild hall and we can get you some water, because you haven't had much to each and drink the past few days."
I then nodded, just barely stopping myself from speaking.
"We should be back to Magnolia in an hour or so, so i suggest you get a bit more sleep, I know well that unconsciousness is tiring."
"Listen to the Ice Princess." I heard Natsu mumble from across the aisle in a half awake state. I giggle as Gray's face turned bright red and he did everything he could to prevent himself from launching at Natsu and destroying the train.
"Thanks Flame Brain." he said smirking just a bit.
"No problem Cold King." he said and started snoring again. I giggled and Gray just shook his head. I then decided to go to sleep like they suggested. I wanted to be well rested tomorrow when I woke up and was back at the guild. i was glad that I was finally almost home, and back with my family.
