"15 Minutes!"

~Anastasia's POV~

We are back at the guild and underground as we returned from Phantom Lord headquarters. Everyone was discussing their plans for Phantom Lord and what to do for them. I was looking at Lucy with a worried look and how sad she looks.

"What's the matter? Still feel uneasy?" Gray asked her as he looked at her.

"No, it isn't that..." Lucy said, feeling down, "It's just... I'm sorry..."

"Well, it's the destiny of rich daughters to be targeted by people. And men are duty-bound to protect them." Elfman said.

"Don't say stuff like that!" Gray scolded Elfman.

"But it came as a shock to me. Why did you hide the truth, Lucy?" Happy asked her.

"It wasn't that I was hiding it. I was a runaway, so I just never really wanted to talk about it... He didn't give a care about his daughter being gone for a year, but then suddenly he wants to drag me back...Daddy did all this to bring me back...
He's the worst!" Lucy said, "Still, it was my running away that caused all of this..."

"That ain't right! Your dad's the one to blame!"

"Elfman, shut up!" I scolded Elfman and giving him a glare.

"Oh, I mean Phantom is!"

"I never thought my selfish actions would cause you all so much trouble... I'm really sorry... This would all end if I went home, wouldn't it?" Lucy said.

"I dunno about that... I just can't see you being called "Lady." If anything suits you, it's laughing in this filthy pub and freaking out while on an adventure. You said you want to stay here, right?" Natsu said to her.

"Why would you go back to somewhere you don't want to? You're Lucy of Fairy Tail. This is where you belong." I told her with a smile, "Because you are our family and family have each other's backs." Lucy nodded and cried.

"That's right! Men are weak against tears!"

"I can't help it..."

"No good! I can't tell where Mystogan is!" Cana said.

"Oh. That's too bad..." Mira said. I walked over to them to see Laxus on the lacrima.

"If they're after Lucy, then they'll attack again. We have a lot of injured people, too. This is bad..." Cana said.

"The master is seriously hurt and we can't locate Mystogan...You're our only hope now... Laxus."

"Huh?!"

"Please, come back. Fairy Tail is in trouble." Mira begged him.

"Man, that ol' geezer's pathetic! It's not my problem. Deal with it yourselves." Laxus said.

"Hold on, Laxus!"

"It's true, though. The geezer started it. Why should we have to clean up his mess?"

"They're going after Lucy! One of us!" Mira stated.

"Huh? Who's that? Oh, you mean that newcomer? Tell her I'll consider helping her if she'll be my woman!"

"You're unbelievable...!" I said angrily and clutching my fist.

"Hey, now. Is that how you act when asking someone for something? Also, tell the geezer to step down already and make me the new master." Laxus said and started laughing as I punched the lacrima with anger.

"Stacey..."

"I can't believe it... Is he really a member of Fairy Tail...?!" Mira said with tears in her eyes, "In that case, I'll just have to fight too!"

"D-Don't be silly!" Cana said to her.

"My staying here didn't stop Lucy from being kidnapped!" Mira said.

"No. You are going to get hurt, Mira-nee. I know you want to help, I can't have you injured."

Then everything around us was shaking and rumbling.

"Hey, what's going on?!" Gray questioned.

"Outside!" Alzack yelled as we all run outside the guild by the back door to see a Phantom Lord guild walking on four in the water.

"Wh-What do we do?!"

"I never anticipated that they would attack like this...!" Erza said shocked.

The build brought out a cannon and aimed at the guild and it started to fire.

"Not good! Everyone get down!" Erza yelled at she alarmed us to cover.

Erza run forward. "Erza!" I yelled out to her.

"What are you doing?!"

"She's Requip?!"

"What are you doing!"

"I won't let you destroy the guild!" Erza announced.

"That's her Adamantine Armor!" Happy said.

"Don't tell me she's going to take the blast herself!" Bisca said.

"Not even armor as powerful as that can withstand it...!" Alzack said.

"Stop, Erza! You're gonna die!" I said.

"Get down!" Erza yelled.

"Erza!" Natsu yelled but Gray stopped him from rescuing her.

"Natsu! All we can do is have faith in Erza now!" Gray said to him. The cannon fire as Erza shield the blast, I run over to her and got in front of her, and yelled, "Iron Dragon Roar!" As my roar counter attack the blast from hitting us, creating a big explosion as the magic combined at one another.

"Wh-Whoa... She stopped it..."

"We're saved... She's really something..."

"But..."

I was panting and Erza was behind me. "Er-chan, that was reckless, I made on time."

"Neither Makarov nor Jennifer can fight now." Jose said, "Victory is now beyond your grasp.
Hand over Lucy Heartfilia. This instant."

"The hell with that!" I yelled.

"What guild would just hand one of their members to the enemy?!"

"Lucy is one of us!"

"Yeah! Yeah...!"

"Hand her over!" Jose ordered.

"We would rather die than betray one of our own!"

"Our answer won't change, no matter what! We're gonna destroy all of you!" Natsu yelled at them.

"Yeah, Lucy is our family, you have some nerve saying that shit to us!?" I stated.

"In that case, I'll give you an even bigger taste of the Jupiter!" Jose announced angrily, "You have fifteen minutes until it recharges! Tremble in fear!"

"What?!"

"The Jupiter?!"

"He's gonna fire it again...?!"

"Erza!" I said to her running towards her, holding her, "Erza! Don't string yourself...!"

Then shadows appeared from the building and towards us.

"Wha...?! I thought he was gonna fire the Jupiter?!"

"He's merciless!"

"Prepare to witness hell, Fairy Tail. You've only two choices left. Be destroyed by my soldiers,
or be eradicated by the Jupiter!"

"Unbelievable! He'd kill his own men with the Jupiter too?!" Macao yelled.

"H-He's bluffing! He won't shoot!"

"No, he will." Cana said, "Those are Jose's Shades. They're not human. They're phantom soldiers of his own creation."

"What?! Shades...?!"

"They're ghosts?!"

"We have to do something about the Jupiter." Cana said.

" I'm gonna smash that thing to pieces!" Natsu said clutching his fist, "Fifteen minutes, right? I can do it! Come on Happy!" He called out to him.

"Aye, Sir!" Happy replied carrying Natsu to building.

"Let's go, Kirara!" I called out to her, as she responded transforming into her big cat form and I sat on her back as well head towards the Phantom Lord building.

Elfman and Gray followed behind us. As I arrived towards Natsu and Happy, who Natsu jumped on top of the cannon and started punching it.

"Damn! It won't budge at all!" Natsu said.

"I guess we have to destroy it from the inside after all?" I suggested, on top of Kirara. I jumped off of Kirara and into the cannon entrance with Natsu and Happy followed behind me.

"All right! Let's go!" Natsu said.

"Aye!" Happy replied. As we continued running inside of the cannon. Then we made it to a room with a big glass ball in the center with machinery around it.

"What is all of this?!" Natsu asked.

"Eleven minutes until Jupiter fires."

"It looks like a lacrima for gathering magic power." Happy said.

"I've never seen one this big before!" Natsu said. I looked around the area, with Kirara on my shoulder.

"Focused magic cannons fire compressed magic power instead of explosive rounds." I answered.

"Don't really understand; we just gotta destroy this place, right?" Natsu said.

"I won't allow that." A voice said, we all turned to the voice was coming from.

"A guard?!" Happy asked.

"Doesn't matter! Whoever gets in our way gets obliterated!" Natsu said jumping down.

"Wait, Natsu." I called to him and was going to warn him about Totomaru's magic.

"We're running out of time! Get out of the way!" Natsu said, with his fist in fire then all of a sudden his fist punched his face.

"Natsu! Why you hit yourself?!" Happy asked him confused by the action.

"No, my fist is moving on its own...!" Natsu said stopped his magic and glaring at Totomaru.

"It seems to me, You're the one in the way." Totomaru said to Natsu crossing his arms.

"Ten minutes until Jupiter discharge."

"Move! I have to destroy this cannon!" Natsu yelled at him.

"All we have to do is destroy the lacrima, to stop the cannon from fires again." I said to Natsu and standing next to him.

"I just told you, I won't allow that." Totomaru said as he was getting in our way. I groaned in annoyance.

"Seven minutes until Jupiter discharge."

"There's no time! Enough of your blabbering!" Natsu said as he used his fire magic to attack Totomaru. "Wait, Natsu!?" I yelled at him, then his fire fist attacked him again and causes him to swing across the other side of the room.

"Natsu!" I said ran over to him and Happy followed.

"That's hurt!" Natsu said hold his injured cheek, "It happened again! What's going on?!"

"Natsu! This isn't the time to deal with this guy!" Happy said to him.

"We have to hurry and destroy the Jupiter!" I added.

"Bastard!" Natsu said and he started to attacked Totomaru again.

"Listen to me, Natsu!" I yelled at him. Totomaru used his magic on Natsu again, causing Natsu to be confused that gave Totomaru an opportunity to attack Natsu.

"Six minutes until Jupiter discharge."

"I am Totomaru, manipulator of the fire element." Totomaru introduced himself.

"Huh? So you're one of those Blah-blah-whatever-you-call-'em Five?!" Natsu said incorrectly about the element 4.

"Natsu! You mean Element 4!" I corrected him., "All you got right is that there's a number!"

"All manners of fire are subject to my control." Totomaru said confidently.

"Say what?!"

"Whether an enemy's or whether natural, all fire belongs to me!" Totomaru said to us.

"Hate to break to ya, but you ain't controlling mine!" Natsu declared to him.

"Natsu! That doesn't matter right now!" Happy interrupted them, "We gotta destroy this thing first!"

"Looks like you've met a bad match, My dear fire wizard." Totomaru said then the lacroma started to power up

"Jupiter is activating!" Happy said worried as the time started moving forward.

"Five minutes until Jupiter discharges."
