The Lost Dragon (A Fairytail Fanfiction)

Chapter 114: Unleashed Despair

3rd person's POV

"Sir. We've learned that the Reborn Oracion Seis's target is not the destruction of the churches. But what they really are targeting are the Celestial Mages that are housed in the churches." The soldiers reported, which sent everyone on edge. "Warren.. Are you there?" Laki asked, "Yes. I'm here. What's wrong?" He asked, "Gildarts and I have the real Michelle Lobster. She's here bedridden due to a horrible accident. That Michelle with Lucy is a fake. Tsubaki was right about not trusting her." This sent shock through Warren, as Vjeeter alerts the others that Brain II is at the Kardia Cathedral, and no one is there to stop him. "Alright, we'll go. Since the others are out and there is nobody to defend the church, we'll go." Alzeck spoke up, "We will do our best to defend the church." Bisca said, and the two head to the church. Warren then tells Natsu, Lucy and Elfman that the Michelle with them is a fake, but they are not informed right away due to Elfman having the card in his pocket while still unconscious. In their battle, Natsu proceeds to attack Jackpot, but he strikes first. Jackpot then realizes what he was supposed to be doing, and proceeds to destroy the nearby church. Byro then charges and attacks Jackpot. At the same time, Erza's team is still fighting with Cobra. Luckily, at the very last minute, Max steps in and saves Erza just in the nick of time before she could get hurt from Cobra's attack. "Cubellios is gone.. I have no friends." Cobra stated, "You know.. People become stronger after overcoming their sadness." Erza said, "Erza's right. Even in tough times, people come out much stronger than they were before. Even if they had to get through a tough storm." Max stated, shaking his head as his eyes met Cobra's. With this being said, Cobra realizes that he is just wasting his time fighting with Fairytail. "Where are you going?" Max questioned, as Cobra began to leave. He gave him a look, before shifting his eyes to Erza. "We'll finish our fight one day." With that Cobra leaves, making the others sigh in somewhat relief.

At a separate location, Gray, Freed, Tsubaki, Kai, Ethan and Ezra are having a tough time fighting against Shamsiel. "That's it! Now, I'm pissed off!" Tsubaki screamed, her whole body lighting up on fire. Gray, Ethan, Ezra and Freed stood there in shock, watching as she charged at Shamsiel and attacked him head on. They had seen her get angry before, but this was a different type of anger she was feeling. She couldn't shake the bad feelings she had, which were causing her to become less rational. "That tickles! Stop it!" Shamsiel smacks his hand down, hitting Tsubaki who was in mid-air. The hand hits her head on, causing her to fly into a nearby wall. "Tsu!!" Gray shouted, as a crater formed underneath her body. She bounced off the wall, hitting the ground harshly. Ezra and Ethan rush forward to help Tsubaki, but the two are blocked by Shamsiel. With the two unable to move, they can't go help her as Shamsiel brings Angel the celestial wizard they are supposed to be guarding. Angel uses the Anti-Link to finish the man as Dan watches from behind a pillar, he looked down at Tsubaki becoming worried for her as he didn't see her move at all. "Now according to the information received from Father Fabrizio, there are only two links left." Angel smirked, as she finished the man off.

"Damn it." Tsubaki muttered, as she tried to move from her spot.

"This is worse than I thought. Those three can't move. And there are only two links left. This will not end well." Dan thought, as he looked to Tsubaki, Ethan, Ezra, Kai, Gray and Freed.

"I want to battle Pantherlily once more before we get to our destination." Samuel stated, making Lucky shake her head at the stupid request. "Are you seriously going to do this now?!! We don't have time for you to have a full on battle right now!! People's lives are at stake!" Lucky snapped, becoming extremely fed up with Samuel. Without another word the two start battling, during which Samuel starts to explain the mission of the members.

"Guttman has been sent in as a replacement for Coco in the team." Samuel explained, "Why? What happened to her?" Pantherlily questioned, concern laced in his voice. "She was imprisoned for joining their side." He said, looking over at Lucky who shook her head as Happy and Carla voice their opinions. "That isn't right. All she did was realize that what you all are doing is wrong. Why should she be imprisoned for fighting for what she believes is right?" Lucky questioned, which made Samuel sigh as he locked eyes with her. "She really fights for what she believes in.. She's amazing. She's fierce, just like her dragon slayer best friend.. Amazing." Samuel thought, his eyes staying locked on Lucky.
