Radiance (Gray Fullbuster Love Story)

Part 14

It finally happened, what they both wanted for a long time, Jasmine pulled away from the kiss and looked into Gray's eyes, and she couldn't help but feel so happy in this moment, and she smiled, "you need to smile more, your beautiful" Gray said stroking her cheek making her blush. But they were interrupted when they herd strange noises, and it was getting louder, "what is that noise?" Jasmine said running back inside the guild with Gray behind her. They saw everyone going out the back, they followed. Once they were outside, they looked in the distance and saw where the sound was coming from, it was the building where they were holding Lucy, and it was moving towards them in the ocean using mechanical legs, "what is that thing?" Natsu said with a worried look on his face, "I never thought they would go to such extremes to attack us" Erza said shaking, the building stopped moving, and a cannon emerged from the middle of it pointing directly to the guild, "that's a Jupiter cannon!" Jasmine yelled, "run, get out of here now!" Erza yelled at everyone, but they were to afraid to move, Erza then suddenly started to run towards the cannon, "ERZA NO!" Jasmine screamed trying to go after her, but Gray held her back, Erza changed into her armor that held two huge shields that when place together can block strong magic, but not strong enough for a Jupiter cannon,"ERZA!" Jasmine screamed for her, "stay back!" Erza yelled at her, "your not gonna be able to stop her, we just got to have faith in her!" Gray yelled trying his best to hold Jasmine back, the cannon suddenly fired and a huge blast came towards the guild, Erza slammed her shields together and blocked the blast, "NO!" Jasmine cried for her friend, who she looked up to as a sister.

Erza was holding the blast back, but it was too strong and her armor began to break, suddenly she was blown back and she hit the ground hard as her armor disintegrated, but she did it, she stopped the blast from hitting everyone. Jasmine got out of Gray's hold and ran to her followed by Natsu, "Erza, are you alright, say something!" Jasmine said pulling her head onto her lap, "Makarov has fallen, and now Erza can no longer stand, and now we just have Jasmine in the way," they herd the Master Jose say from the building, and this made Gray angry, "Jasmine, your a tough one to beat, so I'm going to make a deal with you, hand over Lucy Heartfilia, and I will spare the guild from another blast from the Jupiter cannon, the choice is yours" Jose said making Jasmine even more angry, Lucy couldn't help but let tears fall down her face, she blamed herself for all that has happened, she had to hand herself over, before someone else gets hurt, but before she could do anything, "I would never betray her like that, you will have to kill me first!" Jasmine yelled making Lucy gasp, and the whole guild yelled saying the same thing Jasmine said, they weren't handing her over, she was a part of Fairy Tail, a part of the family. "You have fifteen minutes to hand her over, or the Jupiter cannon will be fired again!" Jose yelled. Suddenly ghost like creatures came flying out of the building, and there were hundreds of them, "Phantom soldiers" Jasmine whispered to herself, she needed to think, or the guild and their members were going to be teared apart, "Mira, have you contacted Laxus or Mystogan?" Jasmine asked her, "we can't find Mystogan, and Laxus will only help if your the one that asks him" Mira said, "dam it" Jasmine said looking down at Erza, she was out cold so she can't help. "Help me with Erza, I need to talk to Laxus" Jasmine said getting up and holding Erza as she walked back to the guild, "Jasmine where are you going?" Gray asked stopping her, "try and hold them off, and don't let those Phantom Soldiers touch you," Jasmine said walking past him, but Gray was worried about her, "Natsu, help hold those things off, I'll be back" Gray said secretly following Jasmine and Mira.

Mira helped lay Erza down on a table where she would be comfortable while she rested, "contact Laxus for me, tell him I'll talk to him" Jasmine said to Mira, meanwhile Gray was hidden and watching, Mira contacted him through a lacrima ball, and as his face showed he wasn't happy, "this better be good, I already told you no unless-" he began but Jasmine stepped in, "I'm here Laxus" Jasmine said walking up to the ball. "Ah, there she is, looking pretty as ever" Laxus said smirking, "Laxus, you wanted me to ask, so I'm asking, please help us, we need you in this battle" Jasmine said to him with her fists clenched at her sides, "man I can't resist that face of yours, so I'm gonna make you a deal, you agree to be my women again, then I'll happily help you" he said, but before Jasmine could tell him no, Gray appeared from around the corner, and he was seething with rage, "I don't think so buddy!" he said storming over, "what are you doing here?" Jasmine asked him, "she's moved on, you need to let her go!" Gray said making Laxus laugh, "don't be ridiculous, who the hell would want her, I'm the only one she belongs too because she was to dam emotional for anyone else" Laxus laughed making Jasmine turn and walk away with her head down, but Gray wasn't gonna let Laxus get to her like this, "she's with me now! And I won't let you talk like that about her, she does everything in her power to keep the people she loves safe, even if that means destroying herself, but I won't let that happen, that's what a lover does, and you were never good enough for her" Gray said making Jasmine looked at him with wide eyes, "whatever, deal with this yourselves" Laxus said a disappeared, the room was silent for a little bit, until Jasmine herd Mira crying, "Mira" Jasmine sighed walking over, "how can someone in Fairy Tail be so heartless and cruel, especially to someone like you Jasmine," Mira said, and Jasmine looked down in shame, "it won't happen anymore, not while I'm around" Gray said walking up to Jasmine kissing her forehead.

"What are we going to do Jasmine, you can't take them all by yourself" Mira said looking at her, Jasmine sighed, "Mira look after Erza until she is fully rested" Jasmine said, Mira nodded and Jasmine walked outside followed by Gray. Jasmine saw Lucy crying in her hands as the fight went on, but she needed to get away from here, "Reedus, I need you to take Lucy to the safe house," Jasmine said to him, he nodded and drew a cart on his stomach. "Lucy go with Reedus" Jasmine said dragging her over out of sight from everything, "no, I wanna stay and help" Lucy said to her, "your no good in a fight when your in this state, plus I can't protect the guild and worry about you, now go" Jasmine said, Lucy looked down and went with Reedus. Jasmine ran back to the others and grabbed Natsu, "ready to show me how strong you are?" she asked him, he then smirked and nodded, "destroy that cannon" Jasmine said pointing to it, "you got it, let's go Happy" he said jumping up as Happy caught him, "fight off as many Phanton soldiers as you can!" Jasmine yelled at everyone, "right!" they all said in union. Gray could see Jasmine was angry and panicking, "hey, we're gonna win alright?" he said holding her hand, she nodded and joined in on the fight.
