Isolation

Chapter 10

I leaned against the railing as I watched the amazed looks on the faces of my guild as their former master made his way through them. Giggling slightly, I tied my hair into bunches and slid down the railing to greet him.

"So this is what these brats have done whilst I was away, is it? They should of had more parties. Idiots."

I smiled at at his attempts to be cheerful, "Yeah it is, I only just got back myself and already found tons of things wrong wih them. I suppose it all started three years ago, in their hunt for power. Now look at them, sure they are feared but they aren't respected and loved. They destroyed everything this place used to stand for."

Makarov nodded sadly, before he yelled out, "Natsu!"

Natsu sauntered up with a confident swagger, knowing he could easily defeat this man if it so came to it, but quickly lowered his gaze after realising I was glaring at him, hastily remembering our last battle.

Smart move.

"How could you do this, you dense idiot? You took away the towns people's rights that we were meant to be protecting, and you took away the precious emotions that both you and your family once cherished. What have you got to say for yourself?"

Whatever Natsu was about to say was cut off by a large explosion, near the town centre. Right near where the towns people's party was being hosted. Sensing danger, I ran quickly towards it, but was stopped by runes by the guild door.

Much like when the battle of Fairy Tail began.

It couldn't be......?

Suddenly a large static screech filled the air, drawing our attention to just outside my office, and there, stood a hologram of Laxus.

"I heard you have a new guild master, which seems like the best opportunity to claim this guild and eradicate the weaklings you so foolishly let into it. The rules of this game are the same as last time, except this time I have the whole town as my hostage!"

His bellowing laughter filled the hall, and I clenched my fist, and when the hologram dissapeared, I turned to face the guild.

"Wait here, me, Levy, Lisanna and Wendy will handle this."

Ignoring their puzzled expressions, I ran out of the guild, quickly dispelling the runes that lay there, and was greeted by the sight of my three friends fast approaching.

"What's the plan?" asked Lisanna calmly.

"Well I've blocked that idiotic lot from getting out with my own spell and Makarov should inform us if anything goes wrong, so their safety is out of the way for now. However, he has only brought his bodyguards again this time, so I'll handle Laxus, Wendy will handle Bickslow, Lisanna will handle Freed and Levy will handle Evergreen."

Confidently, Wendy nodded, for she was no longer afraid of fighting her own battles, if she wanted, she could possibly take both Lisanna and Levy down at the same time. And considering they had been named as the Princesses of Magic itself, along with Wendy and me, that was no easy task. These three were the only ones possible of possibly defeating me in combat.
