Let's Play Hangman
Hello there peeps! This is another chapter of 'Let's Play Hangman'! By the way, I was checking up on Let's Play Hangman's chapters, and I noticed that Chapter 12 was all wonky and weird. Please let me know if something is wrong with my laptop or if the chapter really is weird. Thanks minna!
Now, on with the show.
Recap: Mira shook Natsu's body gently. He made no movement or sign of waking up. She hurriedly checked Natsu's pulse, and her breath hitched in anticipation for the steady pulse.
But none came. She put an ear next to his mouth, listening intently for a breath.
No breath, no pulse. Was… was Natsu dead?
Chapter 13- Nakama needs rescuing
No.. no way. The infamous Natsu 'Salamander' Dragneel, dead? Ha! What a ludicrous notion. It just wasn't possible. But here Mira was, Natsu's body limp and motionless next to her. Mira stared blankly ahead, too shocked to move. She tried to get up, but her legs failed her. Her muscles had frozen up and she might as well have been toting lumps of stone around. Levy noticed Mira on the ground and came, worried out of her mind. That was completely understandable, considering the carnage in the room. Levy poked Mira's shoulder in an attempt to get her to snap out of it. Mira smiled shakily and stood up successfully this time. She stumbled around the room, checking on the others.
"Mira! Come here, quick!" Levy's frantic cry resounded around the cavernous room. Mira ran to her and gasped when she saw Erza and Wendy, frozen. A sheen of opaque white covered both of them. Erza's mouth was open, about to shout something with her spear in her hands, while Wendy's arms were raised up, presumably to perform an attack.
"We should take them to Porlyusica. She should probably know how to solve this." Mira said, struggling to keep a calm composure for the sake of Levy and Warren, who were panicking. Levy breathed in and out, trying to keep a cool head. Warren put to fingers on his head to inform Master about Erza and Wendy. Warren looked for Happy and Charla and found them slumped on the floor like Gray. He carried the two tired Exceeds to where Mira and Levy was.
Mira, Levy and Warren hauled the unconscious Fairy Tail mages/Exceeds home. (A/N: Don't ask how. I don't know either. Just… I don't know, go with it! Pretend they had teleportation magic or something and somehow got to Fairy Tail. ;)
Everyone crowded around them, but cleared the way for Master. Without being told, they made their way to the infirmary and set them down on separate beds.
Gray started coughing violently and shuddered in his sleep. Sweat formed on his forhead. He tossed and turned restlessly. Mira looked at him worriedly. From their appearance, the most injured was Gray, Natsu and Lucy. Gray had several deep injuries on his head, arms and legs. A big black and purple bruise was prominent on his stomach. He would definitely not be out of bed for a while.
Natsu… well, Natsu wasn't even breathing, for Mavis' sake! Didn't that count as serious? He also had a broken arm and multiple gashes on his limbs. Dried blood was coating his head as well as his arms. And, worst of all, he had a gaping hole in his bare chest.
Lucy still maintained her 'Cassandra' appearance, but they could all tell it was her. After all, what nakama wouldn't recognise their own? Her flamboyant red hair, similar to Erza's, was unruly thanks to her tossing and turning. Her body was covered in cuts and bruises, with a particularly big one on her temple. Lucy had a shallow but deep cut running down from her right temple, just missing her right eye and ending next to her mouth. Levy winced in sympathy. That would leave a permanent scar. However, while that would be healed without pain, her emotional scars…. That was something Levy did not want to imagine. And she also wasn't sure whether she'd be back to normal after waking up.
Wendy and Erza would probably be okay after Porlyusica works her magic, and so would Gajeel, Juvia and Lily. Happy and Charla would be recovering from shock, which could take however long.
"Brats!" Makarov yelled from the banister of the second floor. The buzz of muttering stopped, curious to hear from him.
"As you know, the selected people went to Heathcliff's place to save Lucy and defeat him. They were successful in both objectives, but they all suffered major injuries.
"Gray, Lucy and Natsu are in critical condition, so I ask of you to not disturb them. However, you may visit the others after they wake up. Just don't crowd them too much. That is all." Master finished. The hall was silent after a few seconds, processing the new information, and burst into chatter again.
Outside, a Mira that had recovered from shock was addressing Jet.
"Sorry to trouble you with this, Jet, but could you please go to Porlyusica? Natsu, Lucy and Gray are in a serious condition, and so are the others. With Wendy injured as well, we can't have her healing them." Mira explained. Jet reluctantly nodded. After all, who would want to get hit by a broom, insulted by a pink-haired old lady, (Porlyusica: Humans, always calling everyone old. I AIN'T OLD, BRAT!) and have to escort her all the way back? (Plus the fact that Mira would probably change into her Satan Soul if he didn't agree)
"Arigato, Jet!" Mira thanked him.
"N-No problem!" Jet was already shuddering at the thought of Porlyusica.
Now, if only Natsu could be saved. The others may be in a critical condition, but they only had cuts and bruises. Natsu, on the other hand, wasn't breathing.
I know, I know. It was a boring, filler chapter and it was short. Please forgive me! I'm sorry! GOMENASAI!
Anyways, reviews are encouraged! Like, really, VERY encouraged. Like encouraged to the point of me killing you if you don't. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
*Cough, cough* Um… that wasn't me…
IW, out!
