Chapter 28

Irene Pov

I clenched my hand tightly together while looking at Gildarts fighting. I was powerless in this fight as I couldn't do anything. If I would then the enemy was going to become stronger due to a blood link I had with them from the past. I was the one who created them and used my blood to perform the ancient dark magic. I hated myself for being useless. I gripped Makoto tightly to me to not have her run around and get in danger.

Using blood for magic wasn't unknown in my time, there were even some who used magic that can manipulate someones blood and therefore render them powerless puppets to your will. Assassinations of targets would have been carried out that way with the user always being close to the target and using someone near it to attack it. "Gildarts don't you dare to lose!" I yelled and he gave me a quick glance. "Keep on suppressing your magic, especially for the others." He stated and I gritted my teeth together. I was trying my best to keep it low. Being born with a high amount of magic was a blessing and a curse and I know Erza has that too.

"Irene come on you need to have faith in Gildarts, you know he saved you from countless bad situations." Rose assured me and I nodded slowly. "I know, but not being able to help is worse then being injured. Gildarts is in bad shape and I don't know how long he can take it and if I need to face it I hope the others can come to aid." I said and felt my eyes getting moist.

I was kneeling on the ground with my legs spreed to the side looking at the fight. I felt worthless for not being able to help. Something I hated is when someone else got injured just to protect me. "Gildarts please win I can't bare to see you hurt."  I whispered and kept staring at the fight. I didn't know if I should just face away from it or feel even more heart wrenching pain each time he got hit.

Gildarts used one last attack on the enemy but it missed before he got hit straight in the chest sending him to the ground.

"Gildart-sama." I cried out tears flowing but he didn't stand up this time. I felt my heart break apart, was he dead! He didn't move one bit and I could only feel a bit of his magic energy coming from him. 

I couldn't hold it anymore and snapped darting forwards. "I'll tear you to shreds you damn monster." I yelled and my fist turned into a scarlet color. "Sage Dragons demolishing strike." I shouted and hit him right at the head sending him into a wall. I knew it was far from over I had to pull all my power into this one last attack. "Vernier." I shouted and immediately felt my magic power increase but I knew it wasn't going to hold much after I make my final attack on this creature.

I extended my hands in front with with my lower having all five fingers extended and the top only my middle and index. "May the seven stars judge you. Grand chariot." I shouted and above the creature 7 magic circles formed firing down into the ground where it stood. 

I dropped to my knees panting heavily. If I wasn't able to beat it now we lost and all went to nothing. The smoke cleared revealing the enemy standing. I lost "I'm sorry for being so useless." I whispered and closed my eyes. "Wait Irene the fight is over you won." Rose said and I looked over to her in wonder. "How its standing." I said and she flew over to it. "The seal is gone." She stated and I smiled while slowly standing up getting my fist up into the air.

"We are Fairy Tail, we'll always win." I said and slowly walked over to Gildarts with the last of my energy dropping down right above his head into a kneeling position. I took a good look at his face checking if he was breathing and he did. He was only knocked out. I pulled his head onto my lap gently. "You fought great Gildarts." I whispered and stroked his cheek slowly.

I heard him cough and stared right down at him as he opened his eyes. Those fierce brown eyes who make everyone fear him when he lays his eyes on them, but not on me. "This is a nice way to wake up. Did we win?" He asked and I felt the tears coming again. I was overjoyed of him waking up so soon. "Yes." I replied smiling down and my cheeks began to blush when I realized he was staring right at my chest. "How long will you two be staying like this?" Rose asked and I shrugged. "No idea, I can't move my legs anymore and I'm sure Gildarts is beat." I replied and he just gave a thumbs up making me laugh lightly.
