2. Confession

.Gildarts dodged the strike with ease and leapt onto one of the many rocks littered on the beach, yelling "Crash" as he hit the rock. The landscape split into many cubes as the devastating spell took effect

Meredy was knocked out of balance by the mini earthquake losing her sword in the process. Out of options she decided to use her magic.

"Maguilty Sodom" she screamed summoning six teal blades of pain about her. She pointed her fists in Gildarts direction and two of the lurched towards him.

Gildarts countered with "Crash" delocalizing the swords as they approached him. He flexed his fists muttering "Well not a bad try, kid, but that ain't gonna hurt me."

Meredy smiled, deviously "Well hitting you was never my intention, No 3."Gildarts suddenly felt uncomfortable as he noticed that the remaining blades were missing. He swore and turned around to watch Grey screaming in agony.

"Hurting an injured enemy ain't right, so you really want a beat down don't you?" Gildarts noted as he turned back towards Meredy. Normally he wouldn't have been concerned for Grey but with him still recovering from his fight with Hades, he hoped that the girl's magic didn't impede his recovery.

Meredy decide to bring things to a close. She jumped over Gildarts who responded by punching her in her bosom. She screamed as she hit the sand hard, rolling to try and let the sand absorb the impact of her fall.

Gildarts stood over her prone body and peered down into her eyes" It ain't so funny when it's done to you isn't it? Now be good kid and quit fighting will you? ".

Meredy chanted out loud "Sensory Link "as she let the pain connect her with her sworn enemy's emotions. Her plan was in motion already .Her wrist was enveloped by the pink seal as she struggled to get up on her feet.

Gildarts frowned "So you haven't quit yet, eh? I suppose I'll have to restrain you before you hurt somebody or yourself." Gildarts readied himself to hit the girl for what he hoped was the last time when he was interrupted by Master Makarov.

The old man shouted at the great adventurer "Don't hit her Gildarts, if you do Grey would be fatally wounded. She used a Lost Magic spell to connect her feelings with Greys. If she gets hurt again, Grey will probably get his wounds aggravated."

Gildarts stopped midblow and swore. He looked at the pink haired girl and conceded "Good move kid. Now let's hear what you want kid".

"I have none",Meredy replied retrieving the sword from the ground and putting it at her neck . "Except, his death of course". She steeled her resolve preparing to leave this world taking Ultear's enemy along with her.

…..

Makarov was trembling in anger. That girl's spell had let her gain the upper hand, and know as she put a sword to her throat , Makarov knew that he had to buy some time or his children would suffer .

Erza , Natsu, Lucy and Lisanna coming overdid not help his thought process.

Natsu shouted out to the two dueling mages "You hurt Grey, only I have the right to do that Pink Heaad.

Makarov tried pacifying him" Natsu, if she dies Gray dies, so don't do anything stupid"He then turned to Meredy and Gildarts, the latter deep in thought." Child, you are hardly older than our Wendy and have a long life to live. Why do you want to kill Grey so much as to cut short your life?"

Meredy replied as she pressed her blade closer to her neck" He hurt Ultear by taking her mother Ur away from her. He killed her by not following her orders. He is a traitor and a murderer. He doesn't deserve to live". She closed her eyes preparing to embrace death when she was interrupted by a voice.

….

The whole of Fairy Tail was breathless, anticipating something terrible, when a most unlikely person, turned savior.

"No, Meredy don't do it".

Natsu turned around to exclaim "If it ,ain't the boy – girl" as a dark haired woman walked up the beach . Her clothes were torn and she looked beat from her fight with Grey. Ultear Milikovich had come.

Lucy didn't like how things were going, that pink haired kid had taken Grey hostage and now they had to deal with the Leader of The Seven Kin, the time mage Ultear. But she was surprised by her reaction to the scene.

" Meredy don't do it, please "she cried as she ran over tumbling over the rocks as she went over to her dear surrogate child. A bemused Gildarts observed the proceedings with a wary eye, knowing that buying time was of essential.

The girl loosened her grip on her weapon as Ultear pulled it out of her smaller fingers and sobbed. Ultear hugged her, holding her close to her bosom.

Befoe she could interrupt, Ultear started talking "Grey Fullbuster wasn't responsible for Ur's death. Zeref was. I'm sorry I dragged you to the edge of death with my vendetta. Please forgive me" Her voice was full of emotion.

Meredy, struggling to hold back her tears, asked "But, isn't Fairy Tail our enemy and Lord Zeref our master. Master Hades ordered us to eliminate the Fairies. Shouldn't we be doing that since these people beat up our friends? Isn't Grimoire Heart our family? Did you yourself sayso? You are the closest thing I have to family and he hurt you, which is unforgiveable. Shouldn't he die?"

Ultear took a deep breath and started to speak "I owe Grey my soul, for he opened my eyes to the truth. Ur was never really dead, she was always with us , watching over us . I have lived my life, steeped in wrongdoing , but he gave me chance to right some wrongs, starting with you" Her voice welled up with emotion as she confessed ." I killed your real parents Meredy, and burned your hometown in my quest to resurrect Zeref. I never deserved to be your parent, Meredy"

Meredy face went bank as she trembled, a boiling pot of mixed emotions. But Ultear didn't stop.

" I was responsible for innumerous atrocities for awakening Deliora and for controlling Jellal in the Tower of Heaven, as she turned toward the whole of Fairy Tail who had assembled, some on crutches , others better off " I have been responsible for immense suffering and I know that regrowing The Tenrou Tree cannot make amends for what I have done "She sighed and turned back to Meredy" I know that you despise me, and I know that I deserve it. Not only have I deprived you of your parents but also of your childhood and innocence. I know that you want to kill me but..' She shook her head" I cannot allow you to become a murderer because of a monster like me ".

She picked up the sword and in a lightning motion drove it into her stoamach, leaving Meredy and the rest of the crowd in shock. "So I'll take my own life. Meredy, forget about me and live your life to the fullest." She gasped and tumbled backward into the sea "Whichever path you take, know that I will always love you."She shouted as the waves embraced her, like a mother greeting her long lost child…..

Meredy broke down and her tears flowed down from her watery eyes to the ground just like a river meeting the sea. She jumped over the edge of the sea bank, crying "Ultear", as darkness enveloped her vision. She was going to the place she desired to visit along with Ultear after all.
