Chapter 15: Absolute Devastation
Author's note: I don't own Fairy Tail. That honor is Hiro Mashima's only! I am sorry I haven't posted chapters for The Search for Fairy Tail. I have been so busy! I hope you enjoy Chapter 15!
Lector's POV:
I saw a large black ball of magic energy fly towards me. I watched it fly past me. I turned around and saw a Vulcan get absolutely obliterated. Nothing remained of the Vulcan. I looked towards Frosch, my jaw dropped. I slowly walked towards Frosch. When I got next to him I asked, "What the hell was that?!" Frosch answered, "Fro doesn't know what that was. I saw you about to be attacked by the Vulcan from behind and the black ball of Magic Energy just flew at the Vulcan." Frosch took a breath to calm himself.
Normal POV:
Lector said, "Well. I am glad that happened. You just saved my life Frosch. Thank you!" Frosch smiled and said, "Fro says no problem." Lector nodded and said, "We should look for Happy and Carla. I have a feelings that a large battle is about to happen." Frosch nodded his agreement. With that, they took to the skies to find Happy and Carla.
With Happy and Carla:
Happy and Carla were flying when they saw a large explosion. Carla gulped and said, "Do you think that is where Frosch and Lector are Happy?" Happy mewed, "No idea, but that is our best bet. Let's go!" Carla nodded and they flew towards the explosion. They saw 2 things flying towards them. One was red and blue while the other was pink and black. Carla said, "That's got to be them." Happy nodded his agreement and dived towards the two. Carla followed his lead
With Lector and Frosch:
Frosch saw two things coming at them at a fast pace. One was blue while the other was white. Frosch motioned to Lector and Lector nodded. White orbs appeared in Lector's hands while Black orbs appeared in Frosch's hands.
With Happy and Carla:
Happy squinted and saw orbs in each of the things hands. He whispered to himself, "Ah Hell no!" He leaned left and got right in front of Carla with fireballs in his hand. His thoughts were going a million miles per second. Carla realized this from their connection and tried to calm him. 'Happy. Calm down. I am here. Please calm down!' Happy took a breath as he heard Carla's voice and thoughts in his head. 'Thank you Carla. I needed that. The two things ahead of us have orbs in their hands. I am taking a cautionary measure babe. I promise.' Carla blushed as she heard babe in her head. She muttered, "B-Baka. But I still love you." Happy smirked as he heard it. 'I can hear you Carla. I love you to!' Happy's fireballs increased in size and power.
With Lector and Frosch:
Lector saw the Fireball and motioned for Frosch to make the orbs disappear. Frosch nodded and made his black orbs vanish. Frosch asked, "Fro asks, why did we make our orbs vanish?" Lector said as he made his orbs of Magical Power vanish, "Because. The two are clearly Exceeds. How many Exceeds do we know that can control Fire?" Frosch's eyes widen as he says, "Fro says, we only know one Exceed that can control Fire. Fro says, and his name is Happy." Lector nodded and mewed, "Exactly."
Back with Happy and Carla:
Carla saw that the orbs of magical power had vanished. She said, "Happy, look. The orbs are gone." Happy looked towards the things approaching and saw that their hands had nothing. He nodded and made the large fireball in his hand slowly disappear. Happy thought, 'Definitely Lector and Frosch.' He started to dive bomb towards the 2. Carla followed suit. When they got next to Lector and Frosch, Happy asked, "Where the hell were you guys?!" Lector looked down and said, "W-We were looking for firewood to help warm you guys. You were both extremely cold. Then we got attacked by Vulcans. F-Frosch saved my life." Frosch smiled and said, "Fro says, I was just doing what any decent Exceed would. Save their friend's life." Lector smiled. Carla looked them over and mewed, "I take it you two finally found your guys' Magical Potential?" Lector and Frosch nodded. Carla smiled and said, "Good. We have all found our Magical Potential. And it seems like we have the same kind of Element that our Dragon Slayers have. Happy, with the power of Fire, even though it is unlike any kind power I have ever seen. Frosch, with the power of Darkness and Destruction. Lector, with the power of Holy Light. And finally me, with the power of the Sky and Air, and possibly healing." Lector's, Frosch's, and Happy's jaw dropped. Happy mewed, "I-Isn't the power of healing Lost and Forbidden?" Carla blushed and smiled as she replied, "Yeah. It is. We each have a Lost Magic that has long since been forgotten. We just have to name them, but since none of us know our True Magical Potential, I think we should wait to name them until we figure out our true Magical Potential!" Happy smiled and said, "I already know what I am going to name my Power. The name of my Lost Magic is now Hellfire. Since I can protect and possibly heal with it, though mainly, I am sure it's main purpose is to cause absolute destruction." Carla and Lector nodded in understanding. Carla then realized what Happy had said. "W-Wait.", Carla mewed and took a breath and then continued, "Y-You said you could possibly heal with your magic!" Happy blushed lightly and mewed, "Y-Yeah. I did. Your point?" Carla said, "I-If that's true, you are truly over powered." Happy facepalmed and mewed, "No shit! I am clearly overpowered! Do you not remember what I did to the Fairy Tail Guildhall?! I blew that damn thing into nothing but smithereens! And I managed to protect you with a Fire shield from most of the strength from the explosion that resulted and the debris!" Carla nodded in understanding. She looked at Lector and Frosch and giggled. Lector's and Frosch's jaws had dropped. Lector mewed, "There is no way Happy blew up the entire Fairy Tail Guild Hall!" Carla purred as she mewed, "He actually did. He found his Magical Potential when he found out the entire Fairy Tail guild was kidnapped. And that clearly isn't his full Magical Potential. He honestly might he stronger than Natsu. We all might be stronger than our Dragon Slayer's." Lector and Frosch's jaws dropped further. Happy nodded and mewed, "I say we find some Vulcans, and test how strong our Magic is together. We should combine all of the magic. Who's with me?!" Happy put his paw in the middle of everyone. Carla's paw shot forwards and was on top of Happy's. Carla mewed, "I am with you Happy. I will always be with you!" Happy blushed lightly and smiled. He said, "I know Cutie. I know." Carla blushed a light red and smiled back at him. Lector's and Frosch's paws joined Happy's and Carla's. Lector said, "We are with you Happy. Hell. You should be our leader." Happy looked down shyly. Carla said, "I agree. Happy, you should be our leader. You are clearly a leader. You have all the traits a good leader should have." Happy blushed at Carla's words. He said, "L-Let m-me think about it alright everyone. Now," Happy's eyes seemed to spark as he continued, "let's do this! LET'S GO KICK SOME VULCAN ASS! IF WE WORK TOGETHER, THEY DO NOT STAND A CHANCE! LET'S GO!" Lector, Frosch, and Carla all said, "AYE SIR!" Happy chuckled and mewed, "Hey, that's my line!" Everyone started laughing. After about a minute of laughing everyone stopped. Happy took the lead and flew Northeast with Carla right next to him and Lector and Frosch on his left.
As they flew, Happy thought about what Carla and Lector had said. 'Do I really have the traits of a leader? Do I really? If Carla thinks I do, then I clearly must, but I never thought I could be a Leader. This is a role I must take seriously. Which shouldn't be that hard. I will protect my entire group. Especially Carla' Happy took a breath as he finished thinking. He forgot that Carla could listen to his thoughts. Carla was secretly listening in on his thoughts and smiled. Happy took a deeper breath. Lector mewed, "I see some Vulcans. Down below us." Happy looked down and saw them as well. He nodded and said, "Alright everyone. Now is the time to see what we can really do!" Happy summoned a Fireball in his paw. Carla gasped as it seemed to glow Gold. She muttered to herself. She summoned her Wind Magic. Lector summoned his Ball of Holy Light and Frosch summoned his Ball of Shadows. Happy's Fireball kept growing in size. Carla muttered, "The Prophecy is true. It really is true." Everyone's Magic grew in Magical Power. Happy yelled, "NOW!" Everyone followed his order and threw their Magic at the Vulcans below. Happy threw his Fireball with everyone else's Magic. His Fireball was the size of a large boulder and everyone had only charged their Magic for about 5 seconds. As the combined Magic hit the ground, a large explosion was heard, and a Shockwave was noticeable and it was approaching them fast. Happy muttered, "Ah shit!" He used what little time he had and gave everyone but himself a Fire Shield. Carla noticed at the last second and screamed as the Shockwave hit them, "HAPPY!" Happy was sent flying and his wings vanished. He plummeted downwards. Lector and Frosch hadn't noticed any of this. They were looking at where the Magic had hit. Absolutely nothing was left. Then they heard a loud woosh and felt a burst of Wind hit them from the left. Lector and Frosch looked to their left. They saw Carla shoot downwards and a little to the right. They followed her trajectory and saw Happy falling to the ground. They saw Carla shoot forwards at supernatural speeds and catch Happy right before he hit the ground.
Carla's POV:
As I saw Happy fall, time seemed to slow for me. Sure, I felt the pain from the blast of the Shockwave because of my connection with Happy, but I ignored the pain. I immediately let my wings vanish and positioned myself so I could get some extra speed. When I started to fall, I made my wings reappear and willed the wind to make me go fast enough to catch Happy before he hit the ground. I was immediately pushed by some unseen force and gained ground quickly. Right before Happy hit the ground, I managed to catch him. I used the Air to give me a push upwards so I didn't slam into the ground.
Normal POV:
Lector and Frosch took off after Carla. As they approached her, she shot skyward while carrying Happy. Lector and Frosch followed her and once she stopped moving, they flew to be right next to her. Lector asked, "D-Does he have a pulse?" Carla turned to answer. She said, "Yes. He has a pulse. But he was an idiot! He didn't give himself a Fire Shield. He gave everyone else but himself one." Carla sighed and smiled weakly, "Always trying to protect others without a care about what happens to himself. One of the reasons I love him, but he needs to learn to protect himself as well." Carla finished. Lector and Frosch nodded in understanding. Frosch asked, "Fro asks, should we go to where our Magic hit?" Carla nodded and answered, "Yes Frosch. We will be able to rest and see what our Magic did. After Happy wakes, I am going to scold him. Then we can take off. I get the feeling we are getting closer. Maybe, there will be a sign there to help us find our kidnapped guilds." Lector nodded and started to fly to where the Magic hit. Frosch and Carla followed suite.
At the area where the Magic hit:
As they all landed, they looked around. Carla exclaimed in shock, "N-No w-way! There is no way we did this much damage!" All around them, there was nothing but ash and dust from the trees that used to exist. There was also a giant crater. As they all looked around in shock and awe, Lector noticed something that looked like a sign. He ran over and took a closer look at it. It seemed to look like an arrow and it had a note underneath it. Lector called, "I found something! Over here!" Carla ran over with Happy on her back. Frosch followed suite. Carla took a look at the arrow, which was pointing towards Northwest. She took a look at the note and read it aloud. The note read, "If you are who I think you are, then you should already know what this note is about. The Fairy Tail and Saber Tooth Guilds were kidnapped. By who you may be wondering. Well, you have to figure out who did it, and before you all start freaking out, none of the Guild members are being harmed. They are just in a dungeon, but here's the best part. Each and every Guild member is somewhere else. They are not all held in the same area. Each and every single one of the Guild Members are held in different places all around, but they are two people that can be rescued from each area. One from each guild. Though, just know the first place may have four. Which I am sure you all know what four they are. I noticed that the most powerful one among you was knocked out. He should be waking very soon. Happy is very strong. Stronger than any of you could imagine. He could take on anything and anyone and win easily. Almost as easily as clapping. Now, his destined mate Carla, is also very strong. You are all strong, but Happy is the strongest among you all. He is the strongest Exceed alive. He could easily beat anyone. Especially if he unlocks his ability that no one but members of his family can have. Anyways, on to the point. Follow the arrow that is there. It will point you in the general direction of where two of the members of each Guild are held. Just find a castle. That is where they are. I will be waiting. Just know, I am always watching. Unless something happens between the two lovers. Carla blushed a dark crimson red as she read that part. Lector and Frosch smirked and chuckled as they heard that. Carla shook her head 3 times to clear her mind of Impure thoughts and continued reading, "Then I will not be able to watch. That would be disgusting if I watched. Anyways. Like I said. I am waiting. Sincerely, Your Foe. P.S. Happy will wake after this letter has been read." After Carla finished reading the letter, she felt Happy stir on her back. Happy woke up and slid off Carla's back. Lector and Frosch looked in awe. Lector said, "No way! As soon as the note was done being read, Happy actually awoke!" Carla saw out of the corner of her eye that more words were being etched onto the paper. It read, "P.S.S. I told you didn't I?" Carla sighed and ripped the paper in half and turned to Happy. Happy was on his back and was slowly getting up. He saw Carla turn towards him and heard her thoughts. He gulped. Carla stomped over to Happy as close as she could. Carla yelled, "YOU STUPID TOMCAT! DON'T YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOURSELF AS WELL?! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, YOU STUPID TOMCAT! WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF YOU DIED?! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW DEVASTATED I WOULD BE?! YOU STUPID TOMCAT! NEXT TIME, YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AS WELL! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?! WE NEED YOU! I NEED YOU! PROMISE ME!" Happy gulped in slight fear and mewed weakly, "A-Aye Sir." Carla took a breath to calm herself. She said, "Good." Happy thought, 'I-In what way does she need m-me?' Carla blushed at Happy's thoughts and decided to tease him. She thought back, 'In all ways Happy. Every single way. Take that as you will.' She smirked to herself. Happy blushed a dark crimson red. He thought back, 'A-Alright. S-So, you need me in that way as well don't you?' Carla looked down shyly and blushed a dark red. She thought back, 'B-Baka. B-But….' Carla was too shy to finish that sentence. Happy blushed even redder and shook his head. He thought back, 'Alright Carla. Maybe sometime soon. Or maybe when we get older. Who knows.' He remembered what Carla told him about the process when sometime before they grouped up with Lector and Frosch. Happy blushed even more. He thought to himself and hoped that Carla couldn't hear it, 'W-We technically could. I-If what she told me is true, our bodies immediately matured to be able to do those things once we admitted our feelings to each other.' Carla, who had heard his thoughts because he didn't block her off, blushed super red and thought to him, 'B-B-B-Baka. T-That is true! A-Anyways. Take a look around. See what our Magic combined did?' Happy blushed more and looked around. His jaw dropped as he mewed, "There is no way! Absolutely nothing is left from the Magic!" As Happy looked around, he literally saw nothing but ash and dust. Happy took a look at what Carla ripped in half and read it to himself. When he got to the part about always being watched unless something happens between Carla and himself, he blushed the darkest red in the world. He shook his head multiple times to clear them of Impure thoughts. Once he finished reading he looked to the sign. He nodded and mewed, "Alright! Listen up everyone! The note says we should follow the arrow! And that is exactly what we are going to do! Together, we will find our friends! WHO'S WITH ME?!" Everyone around him yelled, "AYE SIR!" Happy smirked to himself and his eyes seemed be made of fire. "THEN LET'S GO!" Happy jumped into the air and let his wings appear, which, no one noticed that he had 4 extra wings. The extras were translucent, but they did have a hint of orange. Carla, Frosch, and Lector followed suite. What none of them saw was that they were being followed. Happy took the lead and flew Northwest. Carla, Frosch, and Lector followed him. Carla flew to be right next to Happy. While Lector and Frosch flew to be on the left side of Happy.
Well. That was a long chapter. I am sorry I haven't been publishing much. School is taking it out of me. *smirks* Who or what do you think is following them? Let me know! I know the Chapter Title doesn't make much sense, but oh well. I hope you had fun reading this! I also hope you are all enjoying the story so far. I really do!
Happy: Now, give Trenton some time to get the next chapter up! He told me that he promises to try and publish more often, instead of a 1 to 2 month period of no publishing for this story. Now, everyone have a great day!
