Oh my Mavis, I had to admit I actually enjoyed writing this chapter. I really feel confident about it and I hope you'll enjoy it! :D

Once Sting had spat her name out of his mouth he turned his head back to Natsu and Rogue who nodded. It was time for them to go and find Minerva who was somewhere in the room not revealing herself.

"Alright I'm all fired up!" Natsu said his body covered with flames, "Let's go do this!"

Rogue with his regular nonchalant face nodded his head as the three dragon slayers began to dash through the guild hall looking for Minerva who was obviously lurking in here somewhere. And there she was sitting on the lounge chair smirking at the sight of the three.

As Sting, Rogue, and Natsu were about to step closer to Minerva, Orga in a flash had appeared right in front of her as if he was shielding her. Sting would've wondered why would he even bother shielding that witch and he had remembered that Orga had some kind of feelings towards her which Sting thought was pretty gross.

"Hey! If you're going to be looking for the lady then you have to go past us!" Orga hissed as he clutched his fists tighter. He began to walk over to them until a dash of lightning appeared right in between the three, and Orga. Natsu showed a toothy grin he already knew who was in between them right now.

"That's as far as you go." Laxus said with a smirk on his face, "Your business is with me."

And at that moment Laxus punched Orga right in the face his hand engulfing in lightning sending Orga flying across the room hitting the wall. Laxus then turned back to his comrades giving them a nod as he darted towards the God Slayer. The two then began to clash at each other back and forth sending Lighting Dragon Slayer and Lightning God Slayer magic everywhere.

Gray then lifted his fists in the air, "Hey! Where the hell is that Rufus bastard!"

"I remember you always being that foul-mouthed." Rufus said with a snicker as he adjusted the mask on his face, "You really think your friends will be able to defeat the lady?"

Gray smirked, "I wouldn't underestimate them after all you've seen their true power. And if one of us was able to defeat Minerva then probably they will too."

Before Rufus could even open his mouth and reply back, Gray had already moved his hands in the position for him to use his ice make magic.

"Ice-make Lance!" He shouted as he put his fist over his palm which created multiple lances of ice targeting Rufus who was still standing there not moving an inch. To his realization, Gray had realized that it wasn't the real Rufus standing in front of him but a fake one he had created due to his Memory Make magic.

"Dammit not this again" Gray said letting out a sigh, "Show yourself you bastard!" He clutched his fists tighter as he began scanning again for the real Rufus who was standing on a pillar looking down at him.

"Gotcha!" Gray said as he sent another round of ice lances towards the real Rufus this time hitting him. Gray then narrowed his eyes at the sight of the Memory-make mage groaning at the pain but still smirking. He rolled his eyes this guy was an absolute pain in the ass.

As Gray and Rufus began to clash with each other as well as Laxus and Orga, Erza thought this'd be the right time for her and Gajeel to deal with the other non-core members. A bright light shone as she requipped into her Heaven Wheel's armor as swords appeared everywhere in the air above them and around them.

Gajeel snickered as his arm turned into his Iron Dragon's Sword. He looked at some of the terror onto the Sabertooth members while the other half weren't terrified at all but actually gave him a look of what Natsu would give him when he knew he'd win a fight.

Erza let out a sigh, "You know what we must do. But remember we are not here to kill them, but to at least to teach them a lesson on messing with our nakama." She then sent her swords towards her targets half of them getting injured or knocked out by them. While the other half that wasn't even terrified of her charged towards her.

"Ghehe, I know Erza. You won't have to worry about that. It's for our nakama." Gajeel ended with a low laugh as his face then became serious as he noticed the mage Dobengal charging towards him. He raised an eyebrow at the Sabertooth mage who threw smoke bombs right at him.

"You use smoke bombs to attack? How cute trying to hide yourself from me. Ghehe…" He said as he noticed Dobengal hand looked like a spear glistening a rainbow color. He heard that Natsu had defeated this guy with one punch and he knew if that Salamander could do it he could as well.

Gajeel then swung his Iron Dragon Sword towards Dobengal's stomach which sent him towards one of the walls causing a body dent into it. He let out a chuckle it wasn't even much of fight with him and of course he too with one move defeated Dobengal.

He then looked over to Erza who looked like she was being out-numbered by the swarm of Sabertooth mages surrounding her.

I can't let Erza have all the fun! Gajeel thought with a grin on his face as he dashed towards Erza to help her out. He took a deep breath as he faced the swarm of mages sprinting towards him.

"Roar of the Iron Dragon" Gajeel shouted as he let out a tornado from his mouth which let out sharp metal shards as well. The roar swept the Sabertooth mages off their feet as most of them began to earn cuts from the sharp shards. Gajeel let out a sigh that's what happens when you mess with the Fairy Tail guild after all.

(Sting's POV: )

"Dammit" I said groaning as I let out a deep breath. I didn't think it'd be this difficult to bring the evil bitch down but we had to we can't disappoint Erza if we fail. I especially didn't want to see the look on her face when we told her we did. Failure wasn't an option.

I stood up straight still panting as I looked over to Natsu who didn't even look like he was breaking a sweat. He more looked like he was just actually getting started. Rogue on the other hand was just like me right now lightly panting.

"Oi, I'll never forgive you on what you did back at the GMG you understand?" Natsu coldly said glaring at Minerva who rolled her own eyes, "I'll bring you down no matter what, for Lucy's sake!"

Natsu was right as well this wasn't just for ourselves or for the guild, it was for Lucy's safety. And I was sure as hell I don't want that evil witch laying a single finger on her ever again. I closed my eyes shut for a moment then flashed them back opened. I wasn't going to give up, no not yet. Not today or anytime soon.

"Alright" I said with a grin on my face as the white aura soon came back surrounding my body, "I can promise you that we will bring you down Minerva, even if it means bringing ourselves down as well."

Minerva cackled, "Really? I'd like to see you try. Just because one of your fairy trash friends was lucky enough too doesn't mean that you'll be lucky enough this time."

"Damn you're annoying." Natsu hissed looking at her as he then took a deep breath in. As he then cupped his hands over mouth leaving a space between each.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon"

Flames then began to head towards Minerva's way as she widened her eyes noticing her magic energy was beginning to run low. However to her it didn't mean the fight was over just yet.

I widened my eyes as well what was she exactly planning? After all she knew her magic energy was running low so she couldn't do much. Whatever right now wasn't the time for me thinking about it, Rogue and I had to go and assist Natsu.

I looked over to Rogue whos body was now surrounded by a black aura. I snickered at least now Rogue was finally going into Dragon Force, it was definitely about time. We both then started going towards Minerva sending hard kicks and punches which looked like they were being effective on her.

"Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang." Rogue said with a emotionless voice as he generated shadows from his hand unleashing them onto Minerva who scrunched a look of disgust at the two of us.

I rolled my eyes Natsu was right she was annoying. Especially one the way she looked and basically on the person she was.

"Holy Blast!" I shouted as I fired the white orb of light towards Minerva who then choked out blood. She now was on the ground gripping the side of her stomach but she didn't look like she was going to surrender. Instead of a look of fear engraved onto her lips there was a smirk.

"Sting! Rogue! Move out of the way!" Natsu said with a toothy grin, "I don't want to hit you guys with this!"

I then turned back to Natsu and nodded as me and Rogue stepped back away from Minerva who was still standing but with a lot of damage onto her. It wasn't like her to not fight back which I was highly wondering why she wasn't.

I then noticed that Natsu's body began to surround completely with flames a golden color. I raised an eyebrow as Rogue opened his mouth to speak.

"This is probably the move he used to defeat Zero back seven years ago during the Nirvana incident we had heard about. It was that Jellal Fernandes that gave him the ability to use this since he gave him the Flame of Rebuke"

I tilted my head in astonishment at Rogue to think he would've known this much about the Nirvana incident even though he wasn't even there. He looked at me with his regular nonchalant face as I then sweat dropped. This guy really needed to start showing more emotion.

"Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade."

I gawk my mouth right open when I saw Natsu propel towards Minerva leaving behind a long wake of flames as he then head butted Minerva. I felt my eyes were out of their sockets to see him actually use that especially since he head butted her which I thought was pretty funny.

Natsu then jumped back from the Minerva who was lying on the floor but still awake. Not unconscious or knocked out. He then began walking away from her until she started cackling into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Natsu asked narrowing his eyes down to her.

"Just surrender yourself right now." Minerva said as she slowly sat up, "After all you don't want anything to happen to your precious Lucy now do you?" In that moment, Minerva waved her hand as Lucy then appeared right in front of us all tied up with a handkerchief tied around her mouth as well. Her eyes were all puffy as she looked like she was crying, and she had cuts and bruises all over her body.

Harshly Minerva pulled the handkerchief away from her mouth as Lucy then took a gasp for air. She looked at me with saddened eyes and sorrow that she was captured.

"I-I'm sorry!" Lucy said as tears flowed down her eyes. I clutched my fists as the white aura around me became even brighter as the scales on the side of my face increased. How dare Minerva do something like this once again to Lucy I was about to hurt- wait no. Kill this damn evil witch.

"Move a step closer and she'll get it." Minerva warned with a huge grin on her face.

I gritted my teeth glaring at her as I slowly took a deep breath as the aura soon disappeared around me as well as the scales. I looked towards Lucy who was still tied up on the ground besides Minerva.

" I surrender, now give Lucy back to me."

"Tch of course, what would I do with fairy trash like her anyways?"

Minerva then grabbed Lucy by the hair and flung her over to me. Thankfully I got her right on time as I then placed her beside me helping her to stand up. She looked at me in the eye as more tears trickled down her face as she let out soft sobs.

"I'm sorry Sting. I-" I put a finger on her lips to hush her and hugged her tightly.

"It's not your fault. It's mine I should've just stayed with you. I'm just glad you're safe now." I said squeezing her tighter.

"I love you Sting." Lucy said with a small smile on her face as I then told her that I loved her too. As she was about to say something Minerva then interrupted with a cackle of laughter and a glare towards the both of us.

"I'm sorry to ruin this moment. But I never said I won't take my revenge on her." Minerva said as she raised her hand up in the air creating a orb and at that moment she fired towards us.

"Lucy!" I said as I then jumped in front of her shielding her away from the blast. A wave of pain went through my whole body. I felt like someone had stabbed me a million times everywhere. I then slowly fell back to the ground as I heard Natsu and Rogue call out for Erza.

"STING!" Lucy said as she crouched over me hugging me tightly as tears flowed down her cheeks. I gave a faint smile to her as my vision soon became blurry. And then suddenly everything blackened out.
