Chapter 5

What the Hell Do You Think Your Doing?!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or its characters, only my own OC's and Ideas.

Frea walked inside the Guild Hall where a huge crowd of people were gathered around the stage, today was the Magnolia Harvest Festival. It had been about a week since the Court hearing, she had decided to spend a few days in town and not take any jobs so the fragmented Council could have time to simmer down. But it was ok that she hadn't taken any jobs, the Guild had needed help getting ready for the festival anyway. She pushed her way through the crowd and sat down at a table with Grey, Natsu and Elfman. Grey glanced over at her with a quizzical look,

"I thought you were going to be in the Miss Fairy Tail contest." He commented and she frowned.

"Who told you that?" Frea demanded and he shrugged,

"No one, just thought you might give it at try." Grey murmured and Frea looked away.

"Yeah... Like I would go up on a stage..." She shuddered at the thought, Frea absolutely hated getting up on stages in front of crowds of people. Grey didn't seem to catch her mutter as he was turned to the stage. Frea cast a quick glance to where she could see Master Makarov watching the contest, she sighed, he hadn't been in the best of moods since they had gotten back.

Frea snapped her head up as Mira transformed her face into Happy's then Gajeel's, the crowd sort of went silent, Frea shook her head and laughed a little. Frea watched the contest with little interest and smiled when Lucy refused to let the host say her last name. Lucy was about to do her cheer when someone walked up behind her and interrupted. Frea narrowed her silver eyes, trying to figure out who it was. She got to her feet when she recognized the woman.

"Evergreen?" She hissed, and her eyes widened as she turned Lucy to stone. The crowd of people abandoned the festivities and ran from the hall.

"Evergreen, what do you think your doing, you'll ruin the Festival for everyone!" Makarov yelled. Evergreen gave him a smile,

"On the contrary, I think this festival had just gotten interesting." Evergreen told him and the drapery behind her rolled up to reveal the rest of the contest members turned to stone along with Lucy.

"Don't be a fool, return them to normal this instant!" Makarov ordered. Suddenly a flash of yellow light erupted into the hall and Laxus appeared on the stage. Frea narrowed her eyes, now he was the one person she didn't want to see.

"Well, looks like all your fans decided to go home. What a pity, the party's just about to get started!" Laxus declared.

"Laxus," Frea growled walking closer, "What the hell do you think your doing?" She demanded and Laxus looked down at her with that arrogant smile she absolutely hated.

"Oh relax little Demon, I'm just getting this festival moving." He hissed at her and laughed, Frea clenched her fist and took a step toward him but was held back by a hand. She glanced over her shoulder to see Grey shaking his head at her. She stopped and unclenched her fist and Grey let go,

"Freed?" Grey murmured behind her, "And Bickslow too?" And indeed the rest of the Thunder God Tribe were in the hall with them.

"Come on, lets have some fun!" Laxus called out to the room.

"I've had just about enough of your nonsense," Makarov said, "Turn them back at once!" The Guild master ordered.

"You better be nice if you want these ladies to join the parade," Laxus told him and a blast of lightning shot inches away from the now petrified Lucy. "In other words I'm taking all of them hostage." Laxus said as he hooked an arm around Lucy's neck. "Break the rules and I'll shatter these chicks one by one, or I can just smash them all right now."

"I'm not amused Laxus!" Makarov hissed, Natsu leapt to his feet and ran at Laxus who easily knocked him unconscious. Laxus smiled, the Thunder God tribe went on to explain the rules of the contest and Makarov grew to a giant size, preparing to attack Laxus, who only disappeared along with his bodyguards. Makarov shrunk down as the members of Fairy Tail ran past her and out the doors, Frea stayed where she was. What is the point of all this? She closed her eyes and sighed, Laxus... you've done it this time... She turned to watch Makarov run for the doors and raised an eyebrow when he was met by some invisible wall.

Frea walked toward him and watched as Grey tried to pull Makarov through, and fail. "Look at that writing." Frea suggested and pointed toward the purple runes above them.

"No stone statues or anyone over 80 is allowed to leave the Guild Hall..." Grey read and Frea sighed, Makarov couldn't get through then. "I don't care if he is your grandson, he's gonna pay for this..." Grey told Makarov and ran away. Makarov didn't look at her as he slipped past and noticed Reedus, and suggested he go see Porlyusica in the east forest. Reedus left and Makarov finally looked at her.

"Frea, do you think you can beat Laxus?" he asked and she stayed silent for a moment.

"I'm not sure, I could try but..." She went silent and Master sighed.

"I see...All can ask of you is your best."

"GAHH! Where'd everyone go?!" Natsu had come too when Frea glanced over at him.

"Listen Natsu, go out there and beat Laxus!" Makarov ordered and Natsu leapt to his feet, running for the entrance.

"All right!" Natsu exclaimed and rushed toward the doors, only to run into the barrier as Makarov did. Both Frea and Makarov ran up to Natsu,

"Your not made of stone! Don't tell me your over 80!" Makarov yelled, clearly frustrated. Frea shook her head, why they hell cant Natsu get through, he at least had a chance of beating Laxus!

"Match: Droy VS Jet VS Alzack..." Makarov murmured as the runes showed up at the barrier.

"Why would those guys be fighting each other?" Natsu asked. Frea narrowed her eyes.

"This is what Laxus wanted... to see the Guild tear itself apart!" Frea hissed and both Makarov's and Natsu's eyes widened at the realization. Makarov faced her.

"All right Frea! I need you to get out there and put your full effort into beating Laxus!" Makarov told her and she nodded.

"No fair! I was supposed to beat up Laxus!" Natsu complained and Frea stepped toward the doors, running face first into the barrier. She stepped back and rubbed her nose. "Your over 80 too?" Natsu asked and she gave him a glare that sent him stepping back.

"Do I look over 80 to you?!" She snarled and looked down at Makarov. "Sorry, but I'm not much help at the moment seeing as I cant get past the barrier either." She said giving him an apologetic look. Makarov sighed and looked back up at the runes as they changed.

"Winner is Alzack, Jet and Droy K.O.'d." Makarov murmured, Frea stepped up to the barrier and placed a hand on it. Well this sucks... I cant get through, Master cant, neither can Natsu... And out in the streets our Guild members are attacking each other...

What are we going to do?
