Chapter 29- Natsu, Cana and Lucy.
The giant head of Igneel the dragon appeared before Natsu's eyes, his eyes widened in shock.
"I-Igneel." he choked,
Midnight turned around, his eyes widened to. He was frozen stiff as Dragon's face neared him. He felt its fiery breath as heat wave brushed across his face, Midnight couldn't help but quiver in fear. The bluenette behind the dream-made dragon smirked at the sight of Midnight's weak expression. Seeing such a look on the face of a General made her laugh. She opened her arms wide, one above her head and the other low beside her right leg. She clamped her hands together crocodile style and her grin widened. Midnight let out a girly scream as the dragon opened his jaw and sunk into the skin of the dark mage with pearly white, razor teeth. A crimson liquid seeped through Midnights coat. Natsu's jaw dropped, he was seeing Midnight being impaled by his foster father's own teeth.
The dragon evaporated into thin air and the Dreamer behind him became visible. She and Natsu watched in Silence as an impaled Midnight sunk to his knees. It was surprising Midnight's body was still intact.
"B-b-itch." he stuttered as he crashed into the ground.
The bluenette managed a small evil cackle before she waltzed over to Natsu and burst the shackles. Natsu fell to the floor but a small yet strong arm held him under his arms and across his chest. Natsu tried to stand but he could barely, he had lost too much blood. The Dreamer stared into his mind for a moment searching for a dream to help him. Under the effects of Nirvana she wasn't one for saving people, but Souless asked her a favour and besides, she had already had her kill. She owed Souless for when she defended her against Bluenote, she may be in a dark place, but nakama is still nakama and family is still family. After moments of searching, she found something, an old couple of dreams.
"Dream-make: Wendy Marvell." she said.
Wendy was projected before him and she knelt by his side placing her hands over his wound. She began using a healing magic carefully, Natsu stared in awe at the Dreamer's magic. His wound began to heal steadily but it got to a point where it wasn't healing any more. 'Wendy' was able to half heal the wound but it wasn't quite enough, blood was running down his side and he was slowly drifting into an even more critical state. Wendy stood up and disappeared from Natsu's sight, the young Dreamer behind her crying silently. Natsu stared at her, she looked away almost immediately. Remembering the blood still running down his side, she worked her magic again.
"Dream-make: Gray Fullbuster."
Gray appeared in front of Natsu and placed a fist into his palm. A white mist swirled, he placed a hand onto Natsu's bleeding stomach and froze the wound stopping the blood. Gray disappeared to.
"Why?" Natsu asked as the girl walked over to him,
"What do you mean, Why?" she said sourly.
"Why did you save me and why did you cry?" he asked,
"I saved you as a favour to someone." she answered as she lifted him up into her arms.
Bloody hell he's heavy. She sighed. Bloody hell she's strong! thought Natsu.
"You didn't answer my second question though, why did you cry?" said Natsu.
The dream maker mage didn't reply directly but said this,
"They say that a person's dreams are a reflection of their heart."
Natsu folded his arms and rolled his eyes childishly. "Whatever." he pouted.
Mahalia had the sudden urge to drop him but restrained herself.

"No one can save me anyway"… thought Cana without realising she said it out loud as well.
"Yes they can." said a voice from a short distance away.
It was the icy blue haired girl standing behind Bluenote. Bluenote released Cana's neck and turned to the girl.
"Stay out of the way." said Bluenote crushing her into the ground with tremendous gravitational force.
Bluenote turned back to Cana whose face which once saw hope now depicted fear and desperation.
"Don't take me so lightly, Bluenote." Snowflake stood up foot by foot through the gravity,
Bluenote who was still convinced she was pinned to the floor raised his hand to Cana's throat once more. She choked and tried to gasp for air, no avail. She felt hopeless, good that girl really save her? Snowflake shook her head at Bluenote as a cool winter's breeze swirled around her; she made the air colder and colder, her own lips turning blue. Bluenote turned back to face her and pressed a stronger gravitational force upon her, the ground cracked but she stood strong and rigid.
"Oh?" Bluenote raised an eyebrow.
The snowflakes that surrounded Snowflake began to freeze together mid circling motion and formed a giant weapon. And that weapon was …. A baseball bat. She lifted the bat up and held it ready behind her shoulder, she ran toward him and swung tremendously hard. However Bluenote just caught the end of it with his left hand like it was nothing. Snowflake's triumphant facial expression dropped. Bluenote used his spare hand to blast Snowflake back into a stone cold wall. Bluenote turned his back once more. Snowflake emerged from the rubble quickly and in an instant she had frozen his right hand. Bluenote attempted to break the ice by smashing it into the wall and using his magic, but both methods failed. She smiled, Oh good, for a second there I thought I'd lost my touch…. But more seriously… This ends here… Bluenote raised his right arm ready to do some real damage to the frail looking girl.
"Can you fly?" asked Bluenote,
"Can you?" she replied cheekily,
Bluenote opened his mouth as if to say something. But he didn't get the chance a massive snowball came crashing down on him as if out of nowhere, from the airspace above him.
"Sorry, too slow." she smirked.
Bluenote was infuriated; he stood up still covered in snow and ran towards her at top speed, ice fist raised ready to deliver a deadly punch. Ouch. She thought as the dry ice smashed into her face. Her head was knocked back, and she fell to the ground. Her head bled heavily, bruising was becoming visible, and she was pretty sure she had cracked her skull open upon falling back head first. But as the blood trickled down her cheek, she couldn't help but smile as she heard Bluenote crash to the ground somewhere near her. Bluenote dropped to the floor. A tiny but lengthy ice needle so thin and clear it was hard to see in such a fast paced fight, had been so strategically stabbed into just the right spot. It pierced through the very specific spot in the corner of his eye so that it struck a nerve in the brain (not that he had much of one to start with) turning a powerful full-fledged dark mage, into a powerful full-fledged vegetable.
Seconds later, Snowflake stood up. She approached Cana and unchained her from the wall. Cana fell to the floor with a soft thud as Snowflake forgot to catch her.
"Ouuuuch." groaned Cana,
"Oops! Sorry!" apologised Snowflake.
Snowflake pulled Cana's arm over her shoulder and supported her.
"How the hell did you do that?" asked Cana groggily staring back at a not physically dead but brain dead Bluenote.
"I aligned an ice needle with a vital nerve in his head…. I believe its called Lobotomy?" she answered smartly,
"How you manage that when he's running at you like a bull on steroids?" Cana questioned,
"A couple hundred years of practice." she beamed at Cana.
"Why are you so cheery? I thought you were bad." said Cana,
"Most of the people in this guild, weren't all originally bad people. Some of us under the curse of Nirvana, others are blinded motives, some by family, and some of us are just doing what we have to." Snowflake's bright blue eyes stared into hers.
"But then some of us are just evil." she finished. "Personally, I am bipolar and used to have my motives."
"I thought you smashed your head open a second ago?!" Cana demanded,
"I-" she began,
"You're probably some crazy god slayer aren't you!?" Cana said in her face. She smells like alcohol.
Snowflake sighed and shook her head. "I'm not a god slayer, I can't heal myself. I regenerate."
Cana shot her a confused look,
"As an immortal I do not heal myself I regenerate." she explained furthermore. "I'm immortal because I am a god! But sssshhhh it's a secret!" she gave Cana a cheekily secretive little smile holding a finger over her lips.
Should I even believe her? wondered Cana.
"I almost forgot," began Cana, "MY CARDS!" she cried,
Snowflake showed her the bag around her side.
"GIVE IT HERE!" Cana shrieked,
Cana dived onto Snowflake, Is she always this drunk? Snowflake thought sighing. Next thing she knew, Cana was on top of her snatching away her bag.
"Wow! You're really quite busty!" said Snowflake reaching up and grabbing her breasts.
She squeezed them thinking…. Soft….
"Ahem." said Cana,
"Consider it a compliment!" smiled Snowflake.

"NOW!" commanded Laxus,
"Sense-link!"
"Lance!"
"Evil explosion!"
"Roar of the Lightning dragon!"

Natsu… Lucy thought as she slipped into a critical unconsciousness.
A door creaked open, Nirvana walked in and caught the attention of her sister.
"Naturi. Sorry for the interruption, but its starting. They are here, come now and you can keep the girl for dessert." she snickered,
"Fine." answered Naturi letting her eyes leave the Lucy.
Okay, so I know I suck at writing consistently and tend to accidently contradict myself and forget things with such a confusing and massively all over the place plot I got going. Please let me know if I didn't explain something that didn't make sense about this arc and I'll see what I can do, and if I made any contradictions or double ups I did and I will try to edit it better. Also I suck at writing fight scenes, but I try, I really do, and it's really hard to write about Laxus in a fight, because we don't see it a great lot. So please review any constructive criticism, or whether you liked it and whether you didn't like it. If you didn't like it though and you review, you have to tell me why, or you're just wasting your time and why are you even bothering reading this?
Anyways thanks everyone,
Read and review for support and motivation!
Cheers,
~Hermit!
