Your Smile Is My World

Plan Of Attack

Laxus punched the nearest column a few times, stopping before it could crumble to the ground, he looked towards Lucy, stuck in a rune cage, eyes filled with horror as she watched him yell and punch at the wall. He felt bad about having to do this to her, but it was all to keep her safe, yet why did he feel like the bad guy. Natsu and that illusion mage hurt Lucy and everybody else watched including Gray. I am doing the right thing, right? If its to protect Lucy, of course!

"Sorry, I scared you, didn't I?" Laxus said looking towards Lucy with regret in his eyes

Before she could answer footsteps could be heard coming into the Cathedral. Freed walked in with his sword by his side, he walked up towards Laxus before spotting Lucy in his runes.

"Laxus i thought you were leaving Miss Lucy at the safe house, away from the battle field, i only put those runes their just in case" Freed said void of emotion

"I couldn't risk her escaping and running into someone like Natsu or getting hurt by reopening her wounds, I thought if she stayed here at least i could keep an eye on her. Onto more pressing matters, why are you here and not in the field fighting Fairy Tail like I ordered you to do." Laxus said angrily

"Because the game as is good as over with Evergreen defeated, we can no longer force the masters hand, we have nothing to make them fight" Freed explained

Laxus glared at Freed with absolute rage, lightning spun at his fists as lightning struck centimetres away from Freed, "Evergreen's failure changes nothing, If you won't follow me then leave, i have no room for weaklings in my guild"

"Laxus, you know I won't fail you, but they still won't fight us without anything to fight for"

"Then start phase two if you have to, I'm sure they will fight then" Laxus yelled inpatient

"Phase two?! Laxus are you insane, if we do that we would be putting innocent lives in danger" Freed said his eyes widened in horror

"Are you questioning me Freed? Just do as i say before i get angry" Laxus said lightning surrounding his fists

Freed took a worried glance at Lucy before turning to exit the Cathedral

As Laxus watched Freed return to battle, Laxus turned towards Lucy yet again to see her scared and afraid. Dammit he was the bad guy!

"Laxus, whats phase two?" Lucy asked scared to look towards him

"The Thunder Palace, It comprised out of Lightning Lacrima, I'm going to put them above Magnolia so i can take the whole town hostage"

Lucy face soon turned to shock, she started to shiver, scared that when this was all over lives would certainly be lost

"Its ok Lucy it will all be over soon" Laxus said quietly sitting back down upon the steps to glare at the entrance again.

~In The Guild~

The master grunted as he held his chest, pain sieving from inside, he fell to the floor in pain

"Master no!" Cana yelled watching the scene

"Oh no" Mira said in a panic "I'll go grab his medicine"

"Master can you hear us" Biska said bending down to help him

"Hang in there master" Levy said in reassurance

Mira come running down the guild stairs medicine in hand, "Hey, look outside you guys"

As Mira helped Master to the infirmary, the others ran outside and looked up to see Balls of lightning
