Wedding Day
A white light surrounded the Fairy Tail wizards. They all stand to see what was going on, the only two that weren't there were Laxus and Lucy. Sore Joker stood before them with his face cracked. "Your friends may have beaten me, but I still had time to cast one final spell before I'm gone forever."
Natsu held his fists in front of him. "Why don't you give up already?"
"Let's have one final round before I'm gone for good," Sore Joker said.
Natsu slammed his fist into his hand. "That's fine by me. I've been waiting to beat your face in."
"As fun as that may be I've decided on a survival game instead," Sore Joker told them.
"Survival game?" Mirajane questioned.
"What do you mean by that?" Elfman questioned.
"My spell has been set so you can't weasel your way out of it." Sore Joker brought up one finger in front of himself. "You must complete a task and if you can't manage to do it then the spell will kill you."
"So what is a task?" Erza questioned.
Sore Joker gestured his hand. "Oh, just simply stop a wedding?"
"You're kidding?!" they all said.
"I'm about to send you to a certain day and if you can't stop the couple from marrying you lose," Sore Joker said. "That means if the man kisses his bride before midnight you fail in your task. There are two simple rules you are not allow to break. One, you can't tell anyone why you want to stop the wedding." He held up a second finger. "And two, you can't kill anyone."
"We're not murders," Juvia said.
"Whatever," Sore Joker said. "Let the game begin." The group became consumed in light.
"You guys, YOU GUYS!"
Erza snapped out of her daze to see Lucy standing in front of her with her hands on her hips and bent over. Levy, Juvia, Wendy, and Carla were there as well. "What has gotten into you guys?" Lucy questioned. "I don't need you spacing out on me?"
Erza looked around to see where she was. "What are we doing in your apartment?"
"What do you mean you came over to get dress, of course?" Lucy crossed her arms, standing up straight.
All four girls focused on Lucy. "Dressed for what?" Juvia questioned. The girls then suddenly noticed what Lucy was wearing.
"My wedding," Lucy answered. The blond Celestial wizard was in a beautiful wedding gown that barely went over her breasts with no back, fancy gloves, and a tiara. Her hair was tied in the back that went over her shoulder. She appeared as a true vision other than the anger on her face. "Speaking of which why haven't you gotten dress yet? You're my bridesmaids."
All the girls looked at Lucy in worry. So the wedding we have to stop is Lucy's?, Levy thought.
Lucy sighed. "Uh, forget it we still have a couple of hours until the wedding." She putted a smile on her face and took a sweet wedding like pose. "So how do I look?"
"You look amazing, Lucy," Wendy said. "So who are you marrying?"
"You can't marry, my prince Gray," Juvia shouted. "I won't allow it."
"Haven't we been over this?" Lucy responded. "Why would I marry Gray anyway? I already have my own prince."
"Who is it?" Erza questioned. "I wasn't even aware you were dating."
"Did you guys hit your heads or something?" Lucy asked. "You were there when he propose to me."
Laxus stood in the middle of Kardia Cathedral with his arms folded across his chest as he looked at the people on the right side of the pews. "What do you guys think you're doing? Wake up!"
Natsu and the others snapped out of their daze to be welcomed by Laxus annoyed face. The blond wizard was dress in a pure white suit with a gray vest and tie while his coat was open. "Why are you guys just standing there? You still haven't gotten dress yet."
Natsu opened his eyes in realization as he remembered what Sore Joker said. He grabbed his head and screamed. "We have a wedding to ruin!"
Laxus looked at him confuse, narrowing one his eyelids. "A wedding to ruin?" He instantly snatched up Natsu by his scarf and pulled him up to his face. "Listen, you pink hair idiot if you even think about ruining my wedding I'll turn you dust." Lightning sparked out of his body to show his seriousness.
The others looked in shock. "You're getting married, Laxus?" Bickslow said.
Laxus looked at the others strangely. "Why are you acting like you don't know that?"
Master Makarov came up beside his grandson. "You were there when he propose in the middle of the guild hall?"
"We were?" they said in unison.
"Look I don't have time for whatever is going on with you guys the ceremony starts in two hours and I need my best man and groomsmen dressed in ready before Lucy and the girls get here." He eyed Freed, Bickslow, Gray, and finally Natsu who was in his hand.
"Lucy?" Mirajane repeated.
"You're marrying Lucy?!" Natsu shouted.
"You're marrying Laxus?!" the girls all said at once.
Lucy putted the back of her hands on her hips and leaned toward her bridesmaids. "We've been going out for two years now, why are you acting like this is some big surprise. We've planned this wedding for months now."
"And you're sure you're not rushing into this?" Erza questioned.
"Why are you acting like this now?" Lucy asked. "You were one of our biggest supporters when this happened?"
Carla raised her paw. "Perhaps you should take a couple of days to decide how you truly feel."
"I know how I feel, besides the church is schedule for our wedding today now hurry up and get dress the carriage should be here soon."
Natsu, Gray, and the others who were brought into this survival game were now dress for the wedding and huddled into a circle. "I can't believe its Laxus and Lucy's wedding we have to stop," Lisanna said.
"It's probably why Sore Joker was so confident we would fail," Lily responded.
"Why wasn't I a bridesmaid," Mirajane questioned.
"Now's not the time for that," Gajeel said.
"So what are we going to do?" Lisanna asked.
"We could wreck the place," Natsu suggested. "They can't have wedding without a placed to do it."
"We can't destroy the church," Mira said. "There has to be another way."
"Maybe we could sneak up on Laxus and knock him out," Happy said. The group looked over to the side where Laxus was having an argument with one of the wedding planners.
"What do you mean?" Laxus struck the person with lightning.
"Laxus, calm down," Makarov said. "I know you're nervous, but you can't strike everyone who does one small thing wrong."
All of the wizards looked frightened. "If we try that he'll zap us to dust," Jet said.
"What else can we try?" Lisanna questioned.
Laxus shifted his attention over at the group. The sight made all of them nervous and wondered if he overheard their conversation. He walked in their direction. They all straightened up, preparing for the worst. "Freed."
He stopped in front of the rune wizard. "I need you to use your enchantments around the church. I don't need these idiots, wrecking the place." He pointed at Natsu and Gray.
"Hey," the two wizards yelled.
"Understood," the green hair wizard said.
Laxus then walked away to finish making sure that everything was ready for the big day. Mira watched him walk off then thought up an idea. She grabbed Freed's shoulder. "Wait, I think I know how we can stop this wedding without having to do anything destructive at all."
"Aww, that's no fun," Natsu said.
"Yeah, how's that?" Gray asked.
"Freed instead of worrying about, making sure Natsu and Gray can't fight how about writing an enchantment that forbids Laxus and Lucy from saying 'I do' and if you make sure magic can't be used here at the church he won't be able to threatened you."
"That's brilliant," Evergreen said.
"Good thinking, Mira." Lisanna balled up her fists with a smile on her face.
"Then I'll get to work right away," Freed said. "The rest of you appear to be as normal as you can for the day."
They all nodded.
Erza and the others were dressed in their fancy blue bridesmaid dresses. She didn't try to make the others look bad like other brides did, but she made sure she looked the best out of the entire group. "Let's get going, ladies," Lucy said as the carriage had shown up outside.
The girls had tried their best to convince Lucy not to marry Laxus or get her to at least wait from a day to a month, but Lucy refused them at every turn. Even when they brought up his darker past, she reminded them that they forgave Gajeel, Juvia, the Thunder Legion, Jellal, and several others for their former actions and how he redeemed himself again and again with the battle of Hades, the Grand Magic Games, and even against Zerf's demons. Erza tried to scare Lucy into obeying her, but Lucy became far scarier when it came to the fact it was her wedding day. The conversation only left Lucy very suspicious of her bridesmaids.
Lucy opened the door to her apartment and the girls started to head out for the carriage. Juvia had her head down with her eyes hidden behind the shadows of her hair. "Please forgive me." She had out her hand. "Water Lock."
Lucy was suddenly surrounded by an orb of water and was quickly losing air. She looked back at Juvia. She banged on the orb. "What do you think you're doing?"
"I hate to do this, especially since I know you don't want my beloved Gray, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to marry today," the water wizard said.
Lucy banged on the water prison harder. "Let me out right now."
"I'm sorry, Lucy," Erza stated. "This will be for the best I promise you."
Lucy continued to bang despite the fact she was losing consciousness. Why did she leave her keys and whip behind in the apartment it left her completely defenseless against her so called 'friends.' She finally fell unconscious and Juvia released the spell to drop the soaking wet bride to the floor.
Wendy looked at Lucy with worry and regret.
Erza placed her hand on the young girl's shoulder. "We just have to stop this for today. Then Lucy and Laxus can do whatever they want." She then looked over at Levy and Juvia. "We'll need to restrain her and keep her locked inside her apartment until the day is over.
The two girls nodded then picked up their friend from the ground, bringing her into the apartment so no one would see what they had done.
Laxus and his Thunder Legion were in his dressing room at the Church. The lightning wizard sat on a stool with his arms crossed and looked up at his friends. He had buttoned up his coat now that it was past time for the ceremony to begin. "You're saying she still hasn't shown up?"
"Lucy and her bridal party have yet to show up," Freed said.
Laxus lowered his gaze. "It doesn't make any sense. She should have been here by now. The ceremony should have started over thirty minutes ago."
Bickslow stretched his hands out. "Maybe the bimbo got cold feet." His babies repeated, 'cold feet, cold feet.'
Laxus raised his head. As fast as lightning Laxus slammed Bickslow into the wall behind him, cracking it. He glared at the man as if those would be his final words with his hand around his neck. "That's my bride you're talking about. Say something like that again and you won't get to see tomorrow, you got me?"
"Uh-huh." Bickslow quickly nodded.
Laxus let go of the man and looked down. "Maybe I should go out and look for."
"There's no need for that." Freed stepped forward. "Allow us to find your bride. You shouldn't work yourself up on the most important day of your life."
"Fine." Laxus shut his eyes and sat back down on the stool and folded his arms across his chest yet again. "You have one hour to find her and bring her here," he opened his eyes with a serious expression, "or I'm going to find her myself."
"Right," his bodyguards all said at once. They ran out of the room and headed out of the church.
"We may not even need my runes if we manage to find Lucy and keep her from even entering the church," Freed said.
"Yeah, but how are we suppose to find her?" Evergreen asked.
"We're start at her house," Freed answered. The three ran out of the doors of the cathedral.
