The blood red sun shinned fiercely on Magnolia which had been turned into a battlefield. It was an appropriate setting for the gruesome battle Fairy Tail found itself in. A dark guild had attacked in the middle of the night, catching them off guard. Things had been peaceful for sometime and the mages were getting used to the idea of peace and quiet (as quiet as Fairy Tail can get anyway.)

It was midday now and the mages of Fairy Tail had taken care of over half of the opposing dark guld and the end was in sight. Laxus had taken down multiple enemies himself. Nobody messed with his nakama, not on his watch. He stood over another defeated foe, attempting to catch his breath. A shrill, blood curdling cry ran g out through Magnolia. Laxus would recognize that cry anywhere.

He sprinted off in the direction the scream came from. He pushed his legs as fast as they could go but it still wasn’t fast enough. Another scream rang through the air. Laxus cursed underneath his breath as a panic settled over him. The rush of adrenaline pushed his injured body as fast as it could go.

Laxus rounded the corner and found the celestial mage sprawled on the ground covered in rubble.

“Lucy?!” He choked out as he ran to her side.

Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled weakly when she saw his face. Laxus pulled her gently into his arms.

“Lucy, don’t you die on me!” He sobbed. It took the rest of her remaining strength to caress the side of his face, wiping away the tears that had started to fall.

"I love you, Laxus.” She whispered. Her arm dropped to her side as she went limp in his arms.

“Lucy… Lucy!” Laxus shouted as if it would bring her back.

“How… touching.” A man’s voice called out from behind. His words were dripping in sarcasm.

Laxus laid Lucy’s body down gently before he stood up. Rage boiled in his blood as he turned to face the man responsible. The surrounding air began to crackle with electricity. Laxus let out a cry as hundreds of lightning bolts struck the area. Before the dark mage could speak, Laxus was on top of him landing punch after punch.

It wasn’t enough. Laxus couldn’t hurt this man enough to compare to the pain he felt, but he couldn’t stop. Blinded by a truculent rage, he kept punching. A flash of red and white knocked him on his back. Lightning struck again and again as he violently fought to get back on his feet.

“Laxus! Snap out of it!” A blonde figure yelled, holding down his left side.

He blinked a few times and the red started to fade from his vision. Mirajane and Erza came into focus. The two mages had him pinned to the ground.

“It’s over.” Erza told him as she released her grip on his arm.

“Lucy… “ Laxus started before a new wave of tears started to fall. He wiped them away with bloodstained hands. Erza was right. It was over.
