Lost, Then Found (Fairy Tail FanFic. OC Insert)

Chapter 49 - A Mad Dash To The End! Stop The Clock of Chaos!

The green creature cradled itself onto its feet. In front of it, a blazing inferno crackled as it consumed the church. Smoke covering the already dark clouded sky. Eventually, the church had become unrecognizable ruins, though the fire raged on. The creature turned to Axel, its stupid square grin plastered on its face.

Axel quickly threw a fist at the creature, which returned a kick to his stomach. Without a cough, Axel grabbed its leg. Without a shout, Axel swung the creature in circles, throwing it up in the air. Without hesitation, Axel jumped at the creature, kicking it down. Axel landed nearby, next to Gajeel.

Seizing an opportunity, the creature raised its arm. Gajeel began to glow a bright green, catching Axel off guard. "Move!" Gajeel shouted, kicking Axel forward before his magic ruptured. "Agh! You bastard!..." Axel hissed at the creature, failing to realize that his prosthetic arm was also glowing green.

Though he couldn't feel the rupture, Axel's forearm was blown up. Axel shouted, feeling the burning pain in his arm. "Oh! I see!... The little amount of magic is mostly in that metal-wetal arm of yours!" The creature said with a giggle, "That means... you don't have much magic, if any, at all!..."

"Meh... I never really tried to nurture my magic... that's my sister's specialty..." Axel said, slapping at his forearm whilst hissing. "Yes... and your reaction to when your little-wittle friends are hurt... it's your weakness, isn't it?" The creature asked as it raised its arm up. Axel glared at the creature, "You little!..." he grumbled before Juvia and Gajeel's magic ruptured again.

Both yelled in agony as they were thrown against the rocky ground. "Just stop!" Mary begged, "Like, you don't stand a chance against this guy! Wizard or not!" The creature nodded, "That's righty-wighty! You'll just end up hurting yourselves!" It said. "Juvia," Axel suddenly said, "Do you think... you could bear with the pain for a moment?"

"Hey! I'm also being targeted here!" Gajeel shouted. "I'm not as worried about you, though. You're a big, tough boy. I know you can handle it," Axel told him. "You little shit!" Gajeel shouted. "How about it, Juvia?" Axel asked. "Of course! Juvia trusts Axel Nii-sama!" Juvia said.

"Right. It's just you and me, Giraffe," Axel said, preparing himself for a dash. "Giraffe?" The creature asked. Without another word, Axel dashed at the creature. The creature was quick to raise its arm. Axel's prosthetic began to glow green, "Go boom!" The creature exclaimed. Axel then grinned, "Perfect!" He said, throwing his arm back before jumping.

His arm ruptured, cracking its screen and boosting Axel forward. He scowled in slight pain, letting out a cry as he burst toward the creature. "Eh?!" The creature exclaimed in shock. "And with this very arm!" Axel shouted, throwing his fist forward at the creature, "Rosario Ros!" Axel shouted, punching the creature with his prosthetic.

The impact of the force, though visually unimpressive, surged through the creature. "Fly away, Giraffe!" Axel shouted as the creature was knocked back into the rocky cliffs. The very ground shook upon its impact, where the creature was pressed into a crater of its own. Axel's fist sizzled a greenish-blue.

"Hmph! I would've done better," Gajeel claimed. "Yeah, right! You'd just be turned into his personal nuclear bomb," Axel said, checking onto his arm. "A job well done, Axel Ni-sama..." Juvia said, slowly pushing herself up. "Don't push yourself too much," Axel said, approaching her before helping her up.

"Awesome... He, like, beat the "Gutman the Cleaner"..." Mary muttered. "You guys all right?" Axel asked as Gajeel stood up. "Never better," Gajeel grumbled. "And you?" Axel asked, turning to Mary. Mary gasped, jolting up. "Hm? You're... still bandaged?" Axel asked, "That makes things worse..." Axel turned away, scratching his cheek awkwardly.
