Chapter six is up and running. Fair warning, this chapter gets a bit gruesome.

Chapter Six: Wars Of Faith Part One
Cloudy. It was noon on July 3. 2017 in our world...
The Thunder Legion was staring right at the girl that they saw as a little sister as she seemed to walk through them and towards the younger girl with the cat.
"He's always so sweet." The girl petting the cat said, whom they found out is named Ana. Kyra and the other girl, Elizabeth, bent down to pet the cat that was just enjoying the attention.
"Well yeah, of course, Bobo's the sweetest cat in the freaking world." Kyra said.
"So question." The shortest girl, Elizabeth, started, turning a bit to Kyra.
"If you could go into any world, you know, Tv shows or movies. Which one would it be?" The group got closer so they could hear Kyra's answer.
She laughed. "Now that's a pretty hard decision. There's so many places I want to go."
"Ok what are your two favorite shows?" Ana asks with a smirk.
"You two already know the answer to that. Transformers Prime and Fairy Tail." The Thunder Legion's eyes widened at the mention of their guild. "I mean I already seen the entire series of both shows, so I already know what's going to happen."
"She told me and the geezer that our world was a fictional story here, same thing I told you guys." Laxus said as freed looked up at him.
"Well I know our world, but not the other one that she mentioned."
"Haha, no offence on Fairy Tail, but Transformers Prime is by far the best." Elizabeth exclaimed and Evergreen glared at the child, only to gawk when Kyra high fives her.
"Yeah like I said, it's a very hard decision. Where as Fairy Tail has all sorts of magic and it's not against the law to get into fights, Transformers prime is just like this world, except that they have giant robots in a secret war. Ohhh just imagine the chaos we could create. Helping the Autobots against the Decipticons." The wizards looked at their sister in disbelieve.
"Oh and the pranks, don't forget the pranks." Elizabeth said. "I got a whole list of pranks to pull on both Autobots and Decipticons." The three girls started laughing and talking about all the possible pranks they could do.
"Ookeyyy." Evergreen said unsure about the sound of the pranks that Kyra was listing out.
"Hehehe I like the sound of these pranks." Bickslow snickered as he knelled down next to Kyra.
"Of course you would." Freed sighed, not looking forward to being a victim to the two's pranking.
"As much as I want to go to Transformers Prime, to help with the war and try and save the bots and cons that didn't deserve to die, I kinda really wanna go to Fairy Tail and join the guild." The group of wizards didn't even try to contain their grins of victory.
"But it's also going prove to be a challenge, between the Thunder Legion in the first season and then all the battles that comes up, each one being more harder and deadlier than the last. Yeah it's one thing watching what happens on a screen, but I know it's completely different actually being there." Kyra said and her team looks at her stunned. The Thunder Legion?!
"Us!? What about us!?" Evergreen shouted.
Ana looked at Kyra in slight confusion. "The Thunder Legion? Isn't that the one that had that green haired guy?" She asked and Freed's eyes widened as he stepped closer to them.
"Yeah that would be Freed. Then you have Bickslow that has that weird outfit and metal visor. Evergreen is the only girl, and Laxus is the huge blondie." She said and Laxus muttered under his breath something about not calling him Blondie.
"So what's wrong with them again?" Ana asked.
"Well, in the first season all four of them are total heartless dicks, that hates everybody's guts and thinks that their better than everyone else." Kyra answered.
"WHAT!?" Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen yelled in shock while Laxus grunted. He knew what she was saying was true, she was the only one that he didn't despise with a passion.
"How can she say that, she knows that we care for her right?!" Bickslow says.
"Bickslow, this is before she came to our world." Freed said quietly still in shock at what he heard what Kyra said about them.
"I kinda feel bad about hating all their guts cause at first they were mean and hateful and tried to kill everyone in Magnolia right before the Fantasia Parade."
The wizards, even Laxus, gasped and Evergreen glanced at the blond man nervously. "Is she talking about what I think she's talking about?"
"The battle of Fairy Tail." Laxus was stunned. Did they really go through with it?
"But I'm really glad that their plan didn't work out the way they planned it to, even after losing their female hostages and the failed thunder palace, Natsu was able to beat the ever living shit out of Laxus, and to finally get the brutes eyes to open to what he had done."
"The Thunder Palace?!" Freed exclaimed.
"So if Natsu took out Laxus. Who took out the others?" The three looked unsure if they wanted to know, they were even more unsure when they heard Kyra chuckle.
"Well Lucy, Loki, and Happy (mainly the first two) took out Bickslow."
"Wait, blonde can fight?1" Bickslow exclaimed.
"Erza took out Evergreen with ease, I swear it didn't even take her five minuets, and it was also very funny, she scared the crap outta Evergreen." Evergreen slumped to the ground with anime tears down her face.
"And lets just say that Freed is Very Very lucky to even survive his battle against Mirajane."
"WHAT!? WHAT THE HELL DID I DO TO PISSED OFF MIRA!?" Freed exclaimed in fear. Yeah, he's heard of her magic but never witnessed it.
"Oh yeah, you showed us that battle, he tried to kill her brother right in front of her and she snapped." Elizabeth said in realization and Freed paled.
"Yeah, but not only did she snap, but she lost control of herself and went after Freed to kill him. And she nearly did remember, she blasted him out of the sky and pinned him to the ground, yelling 'die' as she was about to ground his freaking head into the ground only to stop literally 3 centimeters from his face when she has a vision of her sister. Yeah, Freed quickly realized that he royally fucked up. He's very lucky to be alive." Kyra explained and Laxus, Bickslow, and Evergreen all looked to see Freed frozen with a look of terror.
"Um, you ok there man?" Bickslow asked slowly, only to jump when Freed suddenly shrieked.
"Screw the plan, I don't wanna die!"
Laxus looked from Freed to Kyra in shock. He had activated the Thunder Palace? And Freed was nearly killed because of his careless thinking.
"What happened afterward?" Ana asked and Laxus looked to Kyra as she sighed.
"After the entire guild worked together to destroy the Thunder Palace and Laxus losing his absolute mind attempting to kill everyone in the city using Fairy Law, Natsu and Gajeel took out Laxus. At the end of that day Laxus visited the master in the infirmary, where he exiled Laxus from the guild, surprisingly only him and not the rest of the Thunder Legion." The team gasped out in shock.
"LAXUS GETS KICKED OUT!?" The three screamed in horror.
" Luckily he comes back just in time to help team Natsu against Hades on Tenrou Island. And I was so happy when the other three started warming up to the rest of the guild." The three wizards breathed in relieve that Laxus isn't going to be gone forever.
"Soooo which of the guys in that group do you like best?" Ana smirked.
"Or maybe would date if you had the chance?" Elizabeth smirked as well.
The Thunder Legion saw Kyra's face turn slightly red. Bickslow smirked. "This just got interesting."
"Umm well, I like all three of the guys in the Thunder Legion." Bickslow's smirk widened while the other two guys eyes widened.
"Freed is pretty cute and good looking, very smart and caring (after the battle of Fairy Tail)." Freed couldn't help but smile softy at the girl.
"Bickslow is what I would say 'Creatively Insane'. He's fun and funny, a bit caring, very handsome and hot under that weird outfit of his." Bickslow laughed and let his tongue roll out. So that's how she had viewed him? "He also reminds me of a close friend of mine."
"Lemme guess, Lance?" Elizabeth said and she nodded.
"Yeah, I really miss that crazy nut job, he actually had a kid now. But Laxus...damn..." Laxus watched as Kyra ran a hand through her hair. "Even though I hated his guts before. I couldn't help but love him afterwards. He's strong, handsome, freaking hotter than hell."
Laxus tried but failed to hide the blush at Kyra's words.
"He started caring a lot about Fairy Tail and everyone in it, hell, he even beat his father up when he threatened the guild." She chuckled as she scratched the back of her head.
"I honestly don't know who I love more. Oohhhmyyygooddd, I don't knowwww." The two girls laughed as Kyra moaned.
"This is actually very interesting." Evergreen said as she eyed the boys. Freed was still smiling at the girl while Bickslow was near her head silently chanting 'Me, Me, Me', and Laxus was still blushing.
Kyra slightly smiled. "But, I guess I might be leaning more towards Laxus."
"Aww." Bickslow pouted.
"That kinda doesn't surprise me." Freed said.
"Ha I kinda figured that you would go for him." Elizabeth said.
"But doesn't he get with some one in the show?" Ana asked curiously and Laxus's eyes widened as well as the other three.
"Well it was never confirmed but they tried to hint that him and Mira would get together."
"MIRA!?" Freed paled yet again and nearly passed out.
"But I really can't see them being together, same thing with them trying to say Bickslow and Lisanna would get together."
"SAY WHAT!?" Bickslow exclaimed in shock. "Wait, but didn't she die or something?" Evergreen asked only to not receive an answer.
It was in that moment that one of the dogs had started barking and running to the middle of the pasture, barking up at the sky.
"That's odd." They saw Kyra and the two other girls stand up, looking at the dog. "He's never done that before."
They all looked to the sky but didn't see anything. Suddenly the other three dogs did the same thing.
"The hell..." Kyra muttered.
"What's going on?" Ana asked in confusion.
"I don't know, they never done this before." Kyra said.
"Wait, do you hear that?" Elizabeth asked and the girls, even the wizards strained to hear. It started out soft, but quickly got louder.
"What the hell is that?" Bickslow asks as he stared at the sky.
"It sounds like a... fighter jet." The wizards looked at Kyra in confusion. What was a fighter jet?
"Kyra, i'm getting a bad feeling about this." Ana said and Elizabeth nodded in agreement.
She did too, Laxus and them could see clearly.
The noise was getting so loud that they all had to cover their ears. The wizards jumped when an air craft zoomed over them, the sound deafening. Kyra had pulled the two younger ones to the ground and shielded them. Laxus had immediately went over to Kyra only for his hand to go right through her.
That's right, he had forgotten that this was a memory.
Kyra snapped her head up to the sky as her body was shaking uncontrollably. "What the hell?! Jet never fly that low!" Kyra exclaimed.
"GIRLS, GET IN HERE NOW!"
Laxus snapped his head in the direction of the house and saw a slightly over weight woman with the same hair as Kyra yell out to them.
"Go, Go, Go!" Kyra exclaimed as they ran to the house, Laxus and the others following close behind him.
"Laxus, I got a bad feeling about all this." Freed said, Bickslow and Evergreen agreeing.
"So am I." He said as He followed them to the living room, looking at what the Thunder Legion knew was a TV from when Kyra had created one to watch a show with them. But on the screen was no cartoon. No, it was a news Broadcast.
"We interrupt your broadcast for a National Emergency with information to follow." Then a long beep. They looked to see the screen all black with a seal that had some kind of bird on it' and the words 'SEAL OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES'.
"The following message is being transferred by the order of the United States Government. Nuclear terrorist attacks made by North Korea, Russia, China, Pakistan, and Germany have occurred in the following cities- Chicago Illinois, Las Vegas Nevada, Seattle Washington, New York, Los Angeles California, Phoenix Arizona, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Charlotte North Carolina, Denver Colorado, Detroit Michigan, Nashville Tennessee, Memphis Tennessee, Portland Oregon, Fresno California, Atlanta Georgia, Long Beach California, Honolulu Hawaii, Anchorage Alaska..."
The Thunder Legion watched as the group listening to the broadcast gasp out in horror.
"What?...No... This can't be... happening." Kyra gasped as she brought a hand to her mouth and her eyes widened in disbelieve. Laxus really didn't like the sound of any of this and wanted nothing more than to comfort her, as did the other three.
Both groups jumped when the back door was flung open and a man and woman ran in frantically searching for something, or someone.
"Mum! Dad!" The two youngest ran up to the two adults and hugged them tight.
"Uncle Russell, Aunt Hayde, something tells me you know the situation." Kyra shakily breathed and Freed walked up next to her, wanting nothing more than to hug her but knew he couldn't.
The man, Russell, looked up at her and the other woman. "We need to evacuate, NOW!" He said but before they could move, another long and loud beep came from the TV that was enough to make Laxus flinch and the broadcast came back on.
"The following message is transmitted at the request of the United States Government. The President has ordered the evacuation of all major cities including Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Fort Worth, El Paso, Arlington, Corpus Christi, and all the surrounding areas. All residence are strongly encouraged to take the following actions as soon as possible: Remain calm, prepare an emergency supply kit that includes a First Aid kit, Flashlight, Battery operated radio, spare batteries, a warm blanket for each member of the family, changes of clothes for each member of the family, 1 gallon of water per person to last 14 days, and enough non-perishable food to feed your family for 14 all sensitive electrical equipment including televisions and computers. Shut off gas, water and electricity before leaving. evac-"
Suddenly the TV shut off abruptly and everyone with in the house heard loud sirens going off outside. The wizards watched as the group scrambled around for the necessary things that they needed. The two adults and girls said that they will go get their stuff from the house and will meet them in a bit.
"A war had started." Freed breathed out as he and the others followed Kyra to her bedroom, which was small but had a lot of stuff.
She grabbed a large brown backpack, but froze before looking around the room. They saw tears form in her eyes and her body starting to shake, and seemed to be on the brink of having a panic attack.
"I can't believe this is happening." She whispered before searching for the best clothes to pack, then grabbing a picture frame and photo album (taking the pictures out and stuffing them in a pocket of her backpack). Going into a drawer labeled 'Medicine/ First Aid ' she grabbed some pain killers and creams, Box of band-aids, gauze, rubbing alcohol. She also grabbed a pair of shears, two of her pocket knifes, duck tape, hair brush and several rubber bands, and all her cash, and several of her flash drives. She shoved all of them into her backpack and ran out of her room.
Right through the group of wizards.
"Mom, take your truck, I'll take mine." Kyra said and Evergreens eyes widened a bit. "So that's her mother?"
"Alright, but I think we need to head towards Louisiana." The woman said as she hurriedly fiddled with two small radio. There was nothing but static before finally another broadcast started speaking, however, it wasn't any good news that they had hoped for.
"Civil Danger Warning, The following message is transmitted at the request of the United States Government. This Is Not A Test. The North American Arow Space Defense Command has detected the launch of two North Korean Missiles . These missiles believe to be carrying a Nuclear warhead, and is expected to strike Dallas, Texas in the next one and a half to two hours, and the second to strike Washington D.C in two and a half hours. This is an attack warning, repeat, this is an attack warning. Attack warning means that an attack against the United States has been detected and protective action should be taken immediately. All persons of both cities and the area 100 miles surrounding them are strongly advised to seek out a fallout shelter now. If no shelter exists in your area, then move to a basement or interior of the lowest level of the sterdiest building. stay away from windows and doors and outside walls. Put as much space between you and the outside space as possible, take a battery powered radio-"
And then static again.
"She looks like she's about to pass out." Bickslow exclaimed as he saw Kyra turn deathly pale in horror.
"Dallas... That's only an hour drive from us..." Kyra started trembling in fear.
"Sweetie, we need to go, now!" Her mother said as she grabbed her stuff and Kyra's wrist before pulling her out the door.
"Wait." Kyra said as she stopped and pulled her arm from her mother's.
"The animals. I need to open the pen's and let them out so they aren't helplessly trapped. Go, I'll be right behind you!" Kyra yelled as she spun around and ran down the porch towards all the animals, and her mother went to her truck.
Laxus eyes widened in shock and disbelieve. "Don't Mess With Them! RUN!" He yelled out as he attempted to grab her only to yet again go through her.
He cursed as they watched as she frantically ran around opening every pen and cage there was, giving the animals freedom.
Making sure she opened everything, she started running back towards the trucks, only to hear not one, but two jets flying towards where she was.
"KYRA, WATCH OUT!" Freed and Laxus shouted.
Even though she couldn't hear them, she turned her head just in time to see them shoot several missiles.
She yelled out a curse as she flung herself into her truck just as the missile struck her house. Her head hit the steering wheel from the force of the blast jerking the truck. The explosions were so loud that the group of wizards and Kyra had to cover their ears. The other missiles struck one of her neighbors, then another in the field on the other side and two more in the next neighborhood.
The ground shook with each impact and Kyra let out a frightened scream.
Laxus and the others were somehow able to get into the truck as well. Laxus was in the passenger seat while Evergreen was behind Laxus, Bickslow behind Kyra, and Freed in the middle.
The group watched helplessly at the trembling girl in the drivers seat. She slowly opened her eyes as her lips trembled.
"Kyra, don't look." Freed whispered helplessly as he watched the girl he saw as a little sister turn slowly to what had just been her house. A choked sob forced its way up her throat and passed her lips as she saw her home, or whats left of it. Her eyes dilated and she started hyperventilating.
"No... T-This can't be happening..." She whimpered before looking forward and gripping the steering wheel so hard her knuckles turned white.
"Why?" She grounded through clenched teeth as her eyes closed tight, but that didn't stop the tears from slipping through.
"THIS CAN'T BE REAL!? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!" The wizards jumped, startled when Kyra suddenly yelled out and punched the middle of the steering wheel in frustration, making the horn go off in the process.
After several seconds she let off the horn and sat there staring blankly at the full pear tree that was in front of the truck. Her breathing was fast and uneven, full of shock and fear.
A couple minuets went by but it felt like hours for all of them.
"But it doesn't matter now..." She took a deep breath to try and calm her breathing and shakily grabbed the keys. "What matters now is finding a way to get out of here alive... I will make sure they get out no matter what, even if it kills me." She said with a look of determination.
'I better not get motion sickness from this.' Laxus thought to himself as they saw Kyra struggle to put in the key due to her shaking hands. Finally after a minuet she got it in and started the engine and drove down the rough gravel road. Laxus silently thanked whoever is was that made him not have to deal with motion sickness here.
"I never would have imagined that this is what she went through." Evergreen said quietly. Bickslow glanced at the fairy woman over Freed before looking down sadly. "Me neither, she lost her home and everything in it."
Freed looked at Kyra in not only sadness, but also in anger. Sad because she's in distress and he couldn't do anything to comfort her. Angry, because he wanted nothing more than to attack the people responsible for starting this war, for hurting his little sister and threatening her life as well as her family and friends.
He seemed to be seething when Bickslow noticed the dark aura surrounding his green haired friend. "Free-"
"She didn't deserve this. Non of them did." Freed tightened the already death grip he had on his sword.
"No, she didn't." Laxus said, glancing at Freed.
"But there's nothing we can do now... all this is a memory. It already happened..." Evergreen said softly but loud enough for the others to hear.
"Even though she tries to hide it, I can see that she's still traumatized. All we can do, is help her get through the pain and trauma that had been inflicted upon her." Laxus said looking into Kyra's tear streaked face. He knew that it might be difficult to help her, there will be scars that may never heal, but that's not gonna stop him from trying.
It didn't take long before she met up with her family, as well as two other vehicles.
A maroon Nissan Titan and a light brown Honda mini van. The truck had Kyra's mother while the van had her Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins. But the two other dark colored cars she realized them to be the vehicles that belonged to a couple of her closest friends. Jason in one. Lance in the other along with his fiance, half-month-old son, brother (Austin), and sister (Haley). She was really glad that they were still alive.
Rolling the passenger window down just as her mother started to speak.
"Going to Rockwall towards Dallas is out of the question, our best bet is to head towards Louisiana away from the big cities." The mother said.
"But what about Shreveport? That's a big and well known city in that state, won't it be targeted as well?" Kyra asked and a voice on her left drew her attention to the mini van.
"So far there hasn't been any threats yet for it. Hopefully we can make it through before anything happens." Her uncle said.
"So are we taking the usual way that we go to get to Aunt Margaret's house?" Kyra asked her mother as the woman nodded.
"Hopefully we won't run into any trouble on the way there." And with that the five vehicles started moving again and got on a more smoother road.
They drove about three to four miles before they suddenly pulled over to the side of the road.
"What's going on?" Bickslow asked as he peered over Kyra's shoulder when she gasped out in shock.
There way ahead of them was a ton of smoke and you could even see large flames flying high above the treeline. The amount of smoke was nearly too overwhelming for the group, except well Laxus who was trying not to choke due to his heightened senses.
"What the hell..." Bickslow breathed as he peered over Kyra's shoulder.
"My god..." Kyra muttered as she opened the door and stood up on the ledge.
The other four drivers (Her mother, uncle, Jason, and Lance) got out as well and jogged towards the young driver.
"It looks as if Quinlan was attacked or something." Russell said.
"But that's the only way to be able to get to Louisiana. I don't know any other way around, and I've been here for 30 years." Kyra's mother said.
Kyra was deep in thought while the two older adults tried to come up with something and the two boys listened.
"Wait!" She suddenly gasps before diving back into her seat and snatching her phone up.
"There is another way around. I remember now, I had looked up on Google Maps at different ways to get certain towns. If we turn around and take the road towards Poetry and keep heading strait then that will lead us to Terrell, exactly where we need to go first, But we need to hurry." She said as she showed them her screen to which she pulled up a map.
"Alright, I'll lead, you two follow me." The man said as him and the others went back to their vehicles.
Making sure there were no cars coming they turned around and drove the opposite way, passing the road they had lived on.
Kyra barely glanced down her former road before focusing on the road that she was currently on.
Laxus, however, looking down the road and saw the large tower of smoke that used to be Kyra's house. He truly felt bad for her, she lost her home and everything she had. They were running for their very lives.
He looked over at the girl he saw as a little sister, focused on the road ahead of her, but he could hear the slight wavering in her breathing and see the terror behind her determined face. Oh how he wanted to save her from this horror.
"Deep calm breaths, everything's going to be alright, their going to be alright... I'm going to be alright. We'er all going to come out of this alive... we have too." Kyra said to herself as they turned down another road.
Suddenly her brows furrowed before her head snapped to the passenger seat, causing Laxus to freeze and hold his breath. Can she see him or something.
"Huh?..." Her eyes darted between the passenger seat and the road.
"C-Can she see you, Laxus?" Evergreen asked wide eyed.
"Kyra?" Laxus asked a bit hopeful but he can tell that even though she was looking towards him but not at him.
"Why does if feel like i'm being watched?" They heard her whisper to herself.
"Wait, so she can't see, hear, or feel us but she can sense us?" Freed asked wide eyed as he looked between Laxus and Kyra.
"It looks that way." Bickslow said as he watched Kyra slightly shake her head.
"No, focus on the situation on hand." She grunted as she continued driving.
25-to-30 minuets later they were just passing a small airport and approaching Terrell and Kyra broke out a smile. "We'er almost there, soon we will get on I-20 and head towards Louisiana. Please, let this work."
But luck didn't seem to be on their side when an explosion erupted on the road in front of them causing all the vehicles, including the five, to swerve violently.
"OH SHIT!" Kyra screamed as she slammed on the brakes and sharply turned the wheel to the left to avoid the large debris from the road.
Suddenly she hit a large rock in the road and, unable to correct it, the truck ended up teetering before it started flipping. Kyra and the Thunder Legion screamed as the truck flipped over and over before it stopped upside down in a ditch.
"ugh, is everyone alright?" Freed moaned from on top of Bickslow. They hadn't been wearing any seat belts.
"I will be when you get your ass off of me." Bickslow grunted.
"Laxus, you ok up there?" Evergreen groaned.
"Y-Yeah... Kyra?" He looked up at her only for his eyes to widen when he saw that Kyra was unconscious with a blood trail starting from her cheek to her hair.
"Oh shit Kyra!?" He exclaimed as he tried to grab her, only to curse when his hands went through her.
"Is she alright?" Freed asked worried.
"No, she's unconscious and bleeding and I can't do anything!" Laxus gritted his teeth. He was at a loss of what to do and he just prayed that someone would help her as soon as possible.
"What, someone's coming!" Bickslow exclaimed as they saw some of the people that was with Kyra running towards the truck.
"Kyra! Kyra, are you alright!?" The boy that was driving by himself yelled out (Jason). "Shit I don't see her moving!" The boy that was driving his siblings, fiance, and son exclaimed as they approached the flipped vehicle (Lance).
Bickslow, Freed, and Evergreen got out of the truck and watched the two boys worked quickly to get their friend out of the truck. Laxus, however, stayed inside watching in worry as the seat belts were cut from around her and she was pulled out, only then did he follow.
"Kyra! Come on Kyra, wake up!" The second guy started panicking but they all melted in relieve when Kyra started to groan in pain.
"W-What happened?" She groaned as she stood up on shaky legs and held her head while slightly leaning against Jason.
"There was an explosion on the road and you not only swerved but also flipped off the road. How you feeling?" Lance asked as he and Jason helped get her to the other vehicles they were with.
"Oh my god! Kyra are you ok?!" Elizabeth nearly body slammed into Kyra as the young girl wrapped her arms around her. She chuckled lightly hugging the girl back.
"Yeah, I'm alright." She said before turning to the others. "It's gonna take a hell more than that to kill me." Kyra grinned and Laxus nearly cringed at the image of her death.
Unfortunately their little reunion was interrupted by several more explosions and gunfire.
"That's-"
"In Terrell! Shit! They blocked us off from our only way out of here!" Austin was interrupted by Lance.
"Please tell me that there's another way around." Hailey said as her voice started wavering in fear.
Everyone else started panicking trying to come up with another route but came up short.
"Guy's, I see soldiers coming, and it ain't ours!" Kyra's aunt yelled out as she looked down the road where the explosion happened with binoculars, Ana clutching her in terror. Elizabeth doing the same thing with Kyra. "This is it. We are all going to die." She sniffed into her shirt.
"I know that they got out, she said so... but how?" Laxus said as he watched Kyra looking around, seeming to try and find a way out. And perhaps she did when her face seeming to light up a bit.
"I think I have an idea!" She exclaimed, gaining the groups attention.
"What is it?" Bridget asked as she clutched her infant son to her chest.
"It might seem crazy but there still might be a way for us all to get out of here alive." She said before turning a bit and pointing towards a field a little ways behind her. "Maybe, we could find a way to fly out of here. I mean we just passed a small airport not too long ago."
The others seemed to consider the option while the four wizards looked at each other confused.
"Airport? What's that?" Evergreen questions and Bickslow shrugs.
"She had said that her home world didn't have any magic, so there might be alternatives to fly, just like there are with their vehicles. Something that doesn't require magic energy for fuel." Freed said as they watched the group run to their vehicles, Kyra going with Jason.
Laxus and Bickslow quickly got in the back bed of the truck her mother drove while Evergreen and Freed used their wings to keep up with them. Bickslow didn't have his babies with him so there was no way for him to fly anywhere.
It didn't take long for them to get to the small air field, it was only about two maybe three miles back at most.
They drove around the building and made their way straight to where the planes are. There they saw about 25-30 people rushing up into a plane, and five cop cars and 10 police officers guarding.
"Shit we need to hurry!" Jason exclaimed as they all got out, grabbing only what was necessary and started running to the plane. the cops ushering them in.
The four, however, stayed outside gawking at the plane. "Whoa, didn't expect this." Bickslow said and Freed agreed.
"Laxus?" Evergreen looked up at the lightning mage, who was looking off in the distance with a glare.
"Somethings about to happen."
Was all he said and he was proven correct when the cops started yelling and readying their weapons. Turning around towards the direction the police were their eyes widened when they saw a good size group of enemy soldiers of about 100 marching towards them along with two large vehicles.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Evergreen said as she partly hid behind Freed.
Suddenly they saw several men and a few women run off the plane before going to the cops demanding guns. "What are they doing?!" Bickslow asked in shock.
"Their fighting back." Freed gasps in realization.
"Kyra, No!" The wizards whipped their heads back around towards the entrance of the air craft to see Ana and Elizabeth gripping Kyra's arm as she was trying to run down the steps.
"Please don't tell me that she's doing what I think she's doing." Evergreen gasps as she watches Kyra pulls the two girls into a tight hug.
"I'm sorry but they need all the help that they can get so all of you can get out safely, don't worry about me, I'm a good shot. Protect each other and stay alive. I love you both so very much." Kyra said as a tear slid down her face before looking up at Lance and Jason. "Thank you for being the best friends anyone could ever ask for. Stay safe and watch over them and the others." She said to the two boys, whom where trying not to breakdown.
"We will, and hopefully we shall meet again." Jason said as his voice wavered and tears slid down his face, pulling her into a tight hug before Lance joined.
"You have always been a strong woman, don't ever forget that. Also, in the back of my car there are a shit ton of weapons. Use them and survive." Lance and Kyra slapped their hands together in a handshake.
"Thank you man, for everything." She said before the two boys pulled the girls back towards the seats and Kyra ran down the stairs and to Lance's car, the Thunder Legion following close behind.
"So this is how she saved them..." Evergreen says quietly as Kyra pulled out several heavy duty guns and grenades.
Time seemed to slow down as everyone held their breaths.
The doors on the plane closed, and started to back up to line itself on the runway.
Then all at once it was a battle field. Guns fired, bullets rung back and forth. people started to fall on both sides, but not as many as they were on the enemy side.
Kyra wasn't kidding when she said that she was a very good shooter, taking out about 20 in just the first minuet and a half.
"Damn." Bickslow whistled as he watched her take cover behind the car while reloading.
"Kinda makes me want to know who is a better shooter: Kyra or Bisca?" Evergreen said impressed.
Laxus and Freed said nothing as they saw Kyra stop her shooting to look back at the plane that was starting to go down the lane, bringing up her right arm... and saluted.
"Till we meet again, be safe." Kyra said quietly as the plane took off into the air before her face hardened as she turned back to the battle on the ground and grabbed a couple grenades.
"Hope you bastards burn in hell!" She exclaimed before pulling the pins with her teeth and chunking them as far as she could, successfully getting them both in the middle of the soldiers and taking out roughly 20 more.
"This is what happens when people invade our country! WE FIGHT BACK!" Kyra yells as she pulls out a large gun and rapidly shot bullets into the enemy line and taking out about 30.
All in all more than 90 soldiers have been killed or wounded, 70 being caused by Kyra. Suddenly the tops of both vehicles opened up.
Then it happened...
"INCOMING!" "EVERYBODY GET DOWN!"
"What the-" Bickslow started before Kyra interrupted.
"Oh don't tell me they have rocket launchers!?" She gasped as they noticed that one was aimed at the ground and the other aimed at... the plane!
"NOOO!" Kyra screamed as she grabbed another gun and focused on that one rocket launcher.
"I WON'T LET THEM DIE!" Pulling the trigger, bullets rained opon the vehicle.
One of the bullets successfully hitting one of the front tires causing it to blow and the vehicle to dramatically tilt... at the same time the rocket launched.
Time seemed to slow as Kyra and the Thunder Legion followed the rocket head towards the plane, only for it to... fly right over it.
Everyone seemed to release a breath of relieve that the plane made it out safe, but it was short lived when the other rocket was launched...
towards them.
"Kyra, RUN!" Bickslow and Evergreen screamed out as Kyra quickly grabbed a few grenades and a gun before turning and starting to run, screaming out when white hot pain shot up her arm.
"OH, SHI-" Was all she could get out before the rocket struck, causing a huge explosion, the force of the blast causing Kyra the fly through the air before she slammed back into the ground.
"Oh god, ohgodohgodohgod, Kyra. Kyra, get up!" Freed shouted as they ran to her side.
She was very disoriented as she struggled to push her self up. Covered on dirt, sweat, and blood, she slowly stood up and took a look at the scene around her. Fire and smoke were everywhere, bodies burnt to a sickening crisp.
Her ears rung, and her arm hurt like bitch. But she was alive.
Looking past the rubble, she noticed the soldiers making their way over. But I may not be for long if they were to capture me.
So she did the only thing that she could do.
Making sure she still had the gun and grenades, she ran as fast as she could into the woods that was there, ignoring the pain that had spread throughout her body. Obvious of the four wizards running right behind her.
Suddenly a gunshot rang out from behind them and Kyra screamed as she fell to the ground clutching her leg.
The Thunder Legion's eyes widened when they saw her go down and rushed to her side.
"Shit!" Laxus cussed out loud.
"She had been shot in the arm right before the explosion as well." Evergreen said as she looked at the wound. Bickslow was about to say something before an angry voice shouted out.
"Dark Ecriture: Pain! Suffering!"
The three spun around just in time the see Freed try attacking the soldiers. And to say she was pissed would be an understatement of the century.
Unfortunately his attacks went right through the on coming enemy, but that didn't seem to stop him from throwing more and more attacks, just hoping that one would hit them.
"Freed! Stop, it's not going to work. This is a memory. We can't do anything about it." Evergreen shouted, only for her words to fall on deaf ears as he continued.
"Come on Kyra, Get up! You can do it!" They heard Bickslow encourage.
Turning away from the angry rune mage, they looked to see that Kyra was starting to stand up and hobble as fast as she can away from the people trying to kill her.
"That's it girl, you got this!" Evergreen shouted with a smile as she started jogging beside the girl.
"Freed! We're moving! Let's go!" Laxus shouted back at the green haired man. Said man growled and flew after them.
It didn't take long before they came to a bridge, and a drop that's roughly 20 feet.
Kyra quickly crossed the bridge before stopping and pulling out a grenade and pulling the pin out with her teeth.
"Wait, is she planning on blowing up the bridge?" Bickslow asked and his question was answered when Kyra tossed the weapon towards the middle of the bridge and diving out of the way before it exploded.
"Smart." Freed commented.
Quickly getting to her feet, Kyra started running as much as she can before the soldiers could catch up.
She was almost in the clear when suddenly a bullet flew past her head and struck the tree in front of her.
"Shit! Just give me a break! Just a Break! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO FUCKING ASK FOR!?" Kyra yelled out in frustration as she dove behind a tree for cover.
Dozens of bullets were tearing at the tree she was hiding behind. She didn't know what to do. She was terrified.
She reajusted the gun in her left hand. After taking a few deep breaths, she swung her arm out and shot out a line of bullets.
They noticed the soldiers pausing in their shooting to take cover, giving Kyra the opportunity to get a good look at them. She had managed to take out about 5 of them, but still seemed to be about 10 still alive.
Thinking quickly, seeing that they were about to return fire, Kyra grabbed the last grenade, pulled the pin with her teeth, and chunked it as hard as she can.
Frantic yelling could be heard before the grenade went off, killing the rest of the terrorists.
"Remind me to never get on her bad side." Bickslow said as they started following Kyra, Evergreen agreeing.
Laxus shook his head at his teammates. He kept a close eye on the wounded girl, as well their surroundings. Anything could happen at any time. The trees were starting to fall behind the treeline and if he had to guess, there might be about two, maybe three hours of light left before it got dark. Before she would stumble into that town...
Two or three hours before her death.
He noticed something right then. When he had seen her gut wrenching death, she had three gunshot wounds. But she only has two right now, and she just killed all the terrorists that were on her ass. So how did she end up with that last gunshot wound?
Unless...
A twig snapping behind them had Laxus's eyes widening before they spun around.
And their froze at what they saw.
A man covered in blood stood there, raising his gun and aiming at-
"NO!" Laxus shouted as he stood in front of Kyra, and without thinking, shot a bolt of lightning at the man, only for it too to pass through him.
Suddenly two shots rang out, and the wizards eyes widened when the man fell to the ground with a bloody hole between his eyes.
But when they turned back to their girl, their hearts froze to an abrupt stop.
Again white hot pain flared up her body as she stared wide eyed at the dead man several yard from her, gun in her outstretched arm slipping from her gasp.
"No..." Freed whispered tearfully. Evergreen covered her mouth with her hands as she fought the sobs that were trying to force their way up her throat.
Bickslow tried to catch her out of instinct when her legs gave out and she fell to her knees.
Laxus stood there breathing deeply as he couldn't tear his eyes from the third gunshot wound that was flowing heavily from her side.
Kyra gasped out in pain when she put a shaky hand to the wound, attempting to slow the flow of blood, but it was seeping through her fingers, and in slow motion fell onto her back.
Her lips trembled as what had happened finally clicked in her mind.
She was going to die. A slow painful death out in the middle on the woods, alone.
She laid there, unaware of the four people surrounding her, thinking back on her life and to those she knew and grew up with. She had sacrificed her own safety to ensure that they got the chance to get out. And they did. And she was glad.
Her breaths became labored and her eye lids heavy. It seemed so peaceful here with the nice cool breeze and the sounds of the leaves rustling. She couldn't hear the sounds of the war anymore,
She was tired. Tired of running. Tired of the pain. She wanted to go home. She just wanted to sleep...
"KYRA, DON'T YOU DARE QUIT ON US!" Bickslow screamed at her.
Him and Freed, who had knelled down next to Kyra, jumped in surprise when her eyes snapped open and gasped.
"Don't q-quit." Kyra wheezed out before grunting and whimpering as she forced herself onto her side.
Laxus, Freed, and Evergreen however, were staring at Bickslow in shock. "She h-heard you?" Freed whispered in disbelieve. He didn't understand what had happened. Had she heard them? Or was it just some sort of coincidence?
Laxus looked back at the girl that looked ready to burst into tears from the pain that she was is. If there was a possibility that she had somehow heard Bickslow, then perhaps she could hear him as well.
The others watched in curiosity as their leader stepped up to the struggling girl.
"Come on Keira, you can go it. Get up." He encouraged and he saw her head lift up just a bit. It couldn't have been a coincidence. She had heard him.
The others saw this too and quickly made their war around Kyra.
"Come on girl, you got this." Evergreen said.
"You are stronger than you know. Don't let them beat you." Freed told her.
"Come on Kya, you are no quitter. Show this world who's boss." Bickslow stated as he let his tongue roll out.
Kyra took in slow deep breaths and let the strange faint voices in her head fuel the determination to keep on moving. "I-If I can m-move, then I c-can stand, and if I-I can stand..." She finally managed to shakily stand up, using the tree to help keep her from falling.
"...Then I can fight. F-Fight to live another hour, day, week, month, year. A-And I will continue fighting t-till my last b-breath." She declared as she forced herself forward, one step at a time.
The Thunder Legion couldn't help but beam at her and Laxus got up close to her.
"You'll be just fine kid." The lightning mage notice a small tug of her lips and knew she had heard him.
Suddenly the scene around the four changed.
Now it was a lot darker where you could just barely see in front of you. The air was thick with the threat of rain.
They spotted Kyra a little ways ahead of them forcing herself through the trees and quickly made their way to her.
She was breathing heavily as she had a strip of fabric tied around the wound on her arm and a hand pressed to the wound on her side.
"Come on, there has to be a town or something close, I don't think I could make it an hour in the rain." They heard her say to herself and they knew she was right, with the wounds that she had sustained, if caught out in the rain, she wound be lucky if she makes it 30 minuets.
Finally after several minuets they come to the edge of the woods, and on the they could make out a small town.
"Oh thank the good lord above. It's about time." Kyra stated before she started for the town.
"Kyra, wait-"
Boom
They all jumped when a bright flash of light temporarily blinded them and a loud clap of thunder made the Earth slightly shade under their feet.
Then all at once gallons and gallons of water poured on top of them, soaking the wounded girl while the wizards remain untouched by the merciless rain.
Part one finished.
So apparently a war had started in her world and she had bravely left the plane and her family to join the battle, insuring that they make it out alive.
Now next chapter they will witness Kyra's death and what happens when they come back from her memory. Also, what will happen now that they know about the Battle of Fairy Tail? I guess you'll have to wait for the next chapter.
Until then, Shadowstalker, Out!
