She longed to learn who she was and only he had the answer. Problem? He was in Sabertooth and she was in Fairy Tail, two rival guilds. On the road to get answers, she finds herself falling for his partner. [StingxOC] [RoYu] [NaLu] Other pairings inside.

The Anger of a Family

Laxus and Makarov, plus Mirajane and Erza, rotated sitting at Rosana's bedside. Even Team Natsu took turns. The doctors were stunned that she was even alive with how badly she was beaten compared to Levy and Team Shadow Gear. The residing doctor over Rosana, one named Doctor Elise Masson, told the seven that were there, Happy and Shina included, the situation.

"I have barely seen these many fractures and broken bones before... Her right forearm is cracked, five of her right ribs are either bruised, cracked or both. Her jawline is bruised, her left knee is fractured, the same ankle is almost shattered. Her left hand is broken at the knuckles. That's just the bone injuries." Dr. Masson informed. "There are signs of bruising to her stomach and diaphram, which is why she coughed up blood when she woke up. Her throat is bruised to where I suggest she not try talking to heal it better."

Gray blinked. "Is that all?"

"No... Unfortunately, she has also a slight abrasion to her temple, which is worrisome, considering her amnesia problem. That could either help her or make her forget everything. If she awakens, please let us know." She informed before leaving them in the room. "By the way, Shadow Gear should be well enough in a few days with rest."

When she left, Makarov and Laxus both looked at Rosana while Erza and Mira looked at each other, Mira speaking up after awhile. "Master... Do you want to tell the guild the condition of Rosie? Or shall I?"

"I will. You have that lacrima, correct?" He asked.

Erza nodded. "Of course." She held it out and it soon showed Cana, who was 'in charge' while they were here. "Cana... Can everyone hear us?"

"Go ahead, Erza. We're all anxious to hear news on those four." Cana nodded right as Gildarts appeared, worry on his face. "G-Gildarts?!"

"I heard about the attack. Who was injured and what are their conditions?!"

"Ah, Gildarts... Good timing. We were about to talk about that." Makarov said. "Good news first: Team Shadow Gear should be well in a few days with rest." He saw the guild sigh in relief before he clenched his hands, looking to Erza. "As for... Rosie..."

Erza took over and explained exactly what Dr. Masson had said. "So, she will be here for a while yet. Dr. Masson is surprised she is in one piece." The faces melted into pure rage at that, including Gildarts. "Master has given us the go ahead to declare war on Phantom Lord for this. Lucy, will you stay and keep tabs on them?" Lucy nodded from her seat besides Levy before Erza ended the communication. "Remember, Lucy. We are all family, so you need to keep us informed.

Lucy nodded, looking at Rosana. "Make them pay... This is unforgivable. Rosana did nothing to them, so she doesn't deserve being that hurt."

Natsu growled a little. "Damn right. We'll make them regret making an enemy of Fairy Tail."

Laxus glared at him a little. "Those bastards are about to feel fear."

Rosana stirred to see Shina was sleeping at her head with Lucy crying, which hurt her heart. "L..Lucy..." She grunted softly, seeing the celestial mage whip her head up at her voice. "D-Don't cry..."

"Yo-You're awake! You aren't supposed to speak, Rosana..." She took the lacrima out. "Everyone, Rosana's awake!"

The guild brightened when they saw her eyes open as Laxus poked his head into view. "Rosie, you feeling better?"

She winced as she tried to sit up. "Y-Y... Y-Yeah.. Just sore... I'll be fine soon... And I remember who did this... Gajeel from Phantom Lord. He and two others ambushed me after I had dropped Luce off at her place. Juvia and Sol were their names..."

"Those are the three strongest mages in their guild, but they'll regret it..." Erza stated. "Rest, Rosie. You need rest."

"Right... Please... Be careful and make them pay... They caused Lucy to cry." She said, drifting off to sleep again.

Fairy Tail itself stormed into Phantom Lord's guild hall, showing no mercy to their members, Laxus and Natsu easily taking care of half with the rest right behind. Laxus grabbed one, his other hand engulfed in lightning.

"Where can we find the one called Gajeel? And the Element Four." He said slowly.

"E..Eh, I-I'm not gon-gonna.." He didn't finish as Laxus electrocuted him.

Then, the man in question showed up, cackling. "Well, well, well... If it isn't Laxus... Why bother helping?" He asked.

Laxus dropped the one he held and glared. "Only for revenge for what you did to my little sister."

"Sister? Hmmm. Oooooh, that little punk? She was fiery, but I disciplined her." He then grinned.

He was a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead. He has red eyes with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes, two on each side of his nose, and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. He also sports four studs on each of his forearms, with his right one being covered in scars. He bore his Phantom Lord mark at the top of his right shoulder. He wore a shabby, black, sleeveless tunic with studded edges, a studded belt around his waist, loose, beige pants tucked inside studded black boots, and a pair of studded brown gloves paired with similarly studded wristbands. He also sports a distinctive wing-like ornament, seemingly made of feathers, jutting upwards, over his right shoulder, attached to his tunic by a large stud.

Laxus's glare grew as lightning surrounded his form. "You'll pay."

"Oh, snap. Laxus is mad." Macao chuckled.

"Looks that way." Wakaba said, agreeing.

Natsu sent a few more flying. "Laxus! He's mine!" He rushed towards them. "I'm going to make him pay for what he did to Levy and her team as well as Rosie!"

"Back off, Natsu. This is my fight, not yours. I could care less about what happened to that team, but, the instant he even touched Rose, he became my enemy." Laxus stated coolly as he rushed at Gajeel, surprised that he blocked the attack before he guarded from a similar blow.

"Wow. He's on par with Laxus." Gray commented right as Natsu managed to send Gajeel flying with a punch. "Then again... We have those two..."

Cana nodded. "One Dragon Slayer like Natsu and then there's Laxus. Should be easy."

Mirajane smiled at Levy, who had been cleared to at least walk around while she looked over Rosana. "How are you feeling, Levy?"

"Ergh... Sore, but fine... Where is everyo-ROSIE?!" She made her way to sit on the bed. "She's bad.."

"Thankfully, not that bad off. She woke up a few times. The others are getting revenge for what they did, so that's good. And Rosie's tougher than we think. She is Laxus's sister for a reason. She adopted his stubbornness." Mira giggled softly as Shina nodded.

"That's true. Plus growing up around Natsu, she may have gained his will, too." Shina stated before the three saw Rosana stir again and wake up, blinking away sleep. "Well, look who woke up again.."

"How do you feel?"

"Much better. Though my ribs and foot still hurt." She said as she cracked herself a little. "There we go... I want some fresh air now... Where's Lucy?"

"She went home... Come on... Easy there." Mira helped change her clothes from the hospital gown and the two supported Levy to her bed. "Now, you rest some more, Levy.."

"Alright..." The bluette nodded and went back to sleep while the other two left.

Rosana sighed before looking at the guild hall. "Well, that's character..." When she and Mira went to the basement, she was shocked to see that the entire guild was back and some were hurt, Lucy was crying in the corner with Gray, Natsu, Happy and Elfman nearby. Her eyes found Laxus and she smiled, waving slightly.

"Well, look who's up and walking now.." Mira announced, the guild all looking to see her up and apparently well as they let her make her way to Laxus.

She flung herself into his arms and sniffled. "I'm sorry for worrying you so much."

"Hey, you're fine now, that's all that matters. Plus, I got to beat a few heads in." Laxus said, patting her softly before he reached and put the flower behind her ear. "There."

"Where's Grampa?" When the others looked down, she gulped. She wasn't stupid and knew he was injured and probably with Madam Porlyusica, who knew of medicines and other things related to magic. "Ah.. Well.. We'll deal with those brutes soon." As she said that, the ground shook. "Hey... Wh-"

Alzack rushed down, panicking. "OUTSIDE!"

Rosana was about to go, but was stopped. "Laxus! Please! I wanna see!" She begged, using her 'cutey face' on him, seeing him twitch and sigh, a sign she could go.

"Be careful."

"Gotcha!" She nodded as she nearly ran into Natsu, who was stunned before she saw a moving object. "Am... Am I dreaming?!"

"N-Nope..."

"What's happening?" She asked.

"Phantom Lord is trying to return Lucy home, but she doesn't want to." Natsu said. "She's a part of Fairy Tail, after all."

"Is it Phantom?" An orange haired boy, Loke, asked.

Rosana liked Loke, so for him to be like this means something. She was frightened as she stood by Lucy, clinging slightly to the blonde. She was still a kid, but this was asking too much of her. "Lucy... We'll keep you safe."

Erza, in a towel, was just as stunned. "I never thought they'd go this far!" That was before they all saw a cannon appear. "RUN! Get out of here now!" She ordered, watching Lucy help Rosie back before she reequipped into a singular, blue chest plate with a lighter blue belt-like contraption around the waist.

Three spikes line the top of the chest plate which gives way to a white neck brace split in the center to allow room for her chin. The shoulders are sectioned with a large spike dividing each section, the middle spike being the largest of the three. The gauntlets have only a few sections. Attaching to the elbows are two large white shields which give the armor its defensive power. A blue jewel lines the back of the hand. Attached to the bottom of the chest plate is two layer metallic skirt with small spikes hanging on the ends of each layer. A larger spike hangs inward on the bottom layer. Her legs are covered in a sectioned armor to match the rest of the armor with a pair of greaves starting at the knees. The greaves bear a blue design shaped like the large spike that hangs off the skirt. Several curving spikes attach just below the knee of the greaves. She wears a large spiked headdress atop her head with a reflective piece in the middle.

Rosana gulped. "That's her... Adamantine Armor!"

Alzack blinked as Bisca raised an eyebrow. "Is she gonna try to block the cannon's shot?"

Alzack took over. "But there's no way her armor's gonna hold up to a blast that strong!"

Wakaba tightened his fists. "You're just risking your life, which is ridiculous!"

Rosana tried to get to Erza, but was held back by Reedus. "ERZA!"

"STAY BACK!"

"We're not going to be able to stop her!" Gray stated. "Just have faith in Erza!" He held back Natsu as the cannon fired, Erza's armor activating and creating a large shield, wind blowing harshly from the impact.

Nearly getting blown back, she blinked when Laxus held her lightly. "Laxus..." She then rushed around him, ignoring her foot and the pain to get to Erza. "Are you alright, Erza-chan?!"

"Makarov has fallen, Erza is unable to stand... Hand over Lucy Heartfilia immediately."

"NEVER!" Rosana snarled, glaring. "Lucy is my family and there is no way someone is handing her over from Fairy Tail. She belongs here with us! Lucy is STAYING!" She stated, to cheers from the guild.

"I won't ask again!"

"WE WOULD NEVER BETRAY HER LIKE THAT!" Erza said, rage on her face. "You're gonna have to KILL US FIRST!"

"Yeah!" Rosana nodded before she turned to Lucy and smiled, despite seeing the blonde crying. "You're family now. We'll never give you up."

"You can stop asking now! We're not giving you another answer! We're taking every one of you jerks down!" Natsu added to the flame of rage with his words.

Clenching her fists, Rosana let her magic surround her fists while one eye was hidden in shadow, glowing red. "If you DARE touch her again, we will show no more mercy! This time, I won't be so reckless. Try to take Lucy again and I will PERSONALLY show you what terror is!" Her voice was laced in rage as she lifted a fist up, with the guild all roaring in approval.

"You all have fifteen minutes to rethink that decision before I give a second offering of Jupiter!"

Rosana flinched before she saw Erza try to get up, but collapsed, knocked out. "Shit! She's the reason we're standing..." She muttered before shadows were sent their way, smirking. "You stupid or somethin?"

"You're in quite a quandry, aren't you, Fairy Tail? There are only two ways this situation can play out!"

The shadows rushed forward after Jose talked a few more moments, Rosana moving to be in front of Natsu and the entire guild. She eyed each one before smiling. "Great. I was getting hungry!" When they got close, she inhaled, sucking in those that got close to her, taking the shadows and magic away and swallowing. "Bad choice of henchmen... I eat shadows for food, dummy."

Natsu and the guild grinned a little as the bandages around her fists were torn off, Natsu cracking his knuckles and standing beside her. "I'm not gonna let you have all the fun, Rosie."

She kicked off, looking at Natsu. "We have fifteen minutes, let's get that cannon. Shina!" She called, the cat sprouting wings alongside Happy and getting picked up.

"Roger!""Aye, sir!" Happy and Shina said in unison, carrying the two towards the cannon before they dropped them.

She engulfed her fists in shadow, while Natsu did his in fire, both trying to break it from the outside before she sighed. "Hey, maybe we can destroy it from the inside?" The four went into the cannon and found a room with four orbs after running down it. "Bingo. Looks like the spot." She lept down before she forgot about her ankle, dropping as soon as she landed, Natsu landing beside her.

"You alright? You still need to rest up, Rosie."

"Not this time. I need to... I'll be fine. I'm a Dragon Slayer for a reason. I never give up, even if I have to crawl." She said, letting him help her stand.

He chuckled a little. "What is it about us Dragon Slayers being so stubborn?"

She grinned. "Must be being raised by dragons.. Now, let's get to the second part: destroying things!"

Wooo... Time for battle, again! Rosie is stubborn for many reasons: growing up around not only Laxus, but Natsu and the entire Fairy Tail guild, being a Dragon Slayer and just being her!
