Yuri POV

It had been there weeks since me and Lucy were kidnapped. We were now back in perfect health. I snuggled into Daisuke as he lovingly stroked my hair. "I had another run-in with our enemy three weeks ago, I haven't had the time to tell master with the sickness and all"
"Well tell me what you can"
"I had a dream where there was a creature associated with our enemy. It said that it was going to use me to kill the Heavens Dragon and that I wouldn't be able to stop it"
"Destroy the Heavens Dragon?! Are they insane?!"
"What would happen if Hel-I mean the Heavens Dragon was destroyed?"
"The new Heavens Dragon would have to take over but they only start as babies. Without the older Heavens Dragon's guidance heaven will be vulnerable to attacks from Hell, Earth Land, Edolas, basically anywhere"
"What if the baby was destroyed?"
"Then heaven would be open for anyone to come take over"
"Do you think our enemy knows about the baby?"
"Probably not since they told you that they want to destroy the Heavens Dragon not the Heavens Dragons"
"That's a relief..."
"We should go update master with our findings. This time I'll wait for you outside of Fairy hills"
"Good idea" He left and I went into my closet to pick out clothes for today. I quickly changed into a white top with a black cross covering the front of it and a pair of dark blue jeans with a white belt for decoration.

I put on black and white trainers and joined Daisuke outside

I put on black and white trainers and joined Daisuke outside. We walked hand in hand to the guild and Daisuke joined Team Natsu at their table. I went up to master Makarov's office, knocking on the door three times.
"Come in" I did so. "Any updates?"
"Yes master, we've figured out the enemy's plan"
"How did you do that?"
"Sorry I meant the enemy told me their plan"
"What is it?"
"They plan to destroy the Heavens Dragon and need to use me to help them do it"
"The Heavens Dragon is incredibly powerful. I doubt any wizard could take her down easily if at all"
"They sounded pretty sure that it was going to happen. They said I wouldn't be able to do anything to stop them"
"Only a dragon as old as the Heavens Dragon herself can have a chance at destroying her"
"So the enemy is most likely going straight into a defeat?"
"That is correct. Is that all?"
"Yes master"
"Then you are dismissed" I bowed before leaving then went down to the request board. A job would give me practice at perfecting my support magic. I looked around and my eyes stopped on a certain job. My vision blurred like last time I tried to pick a job different from the one that had the name 'Tori Springs' and I fell into someone sending us both to the floor. I quickly rolled off them then they got up. My head was spinning and I put one hand to it. Someone kneeled down in front of me through my blurred vision I saw Freed. Then I heard him;
"Are you okay Yuri?" The spinning stopped and I looked up at him. "Your eyes..."
"Huh? What's wrong with my eyes?"
"Nothing sorry, forgive me I must be seeing things. Are you okay?"
"Yes thank you" he offered a hand to me, I took it and he helped me up. "Wait! Are you okay?! I'm so sorry I fell into you!" I bowed in apology.
"It's quite alright. I guess you could say I'm glad I caught you"
"Then I guess I could say thanks for that too"
"You are most welcome. I'll be going" he left to go sit with Evergreen and Bickslow. I looked back at the request board and took the job off it.
"Hmm...retrieve a tooth of a poisonous giant snake that's stuck in the bark of a tree. Sounds easy enough plus I do owe Tori" I went to the bar and showed Mirajane the job.
"Sure you can go. Bringing anyone with you?"
"Natsu. I said he could come with me on my next job"
"I'm glad you remembered!" Natsu wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"It's kinda hard to forget considering the conditions it happened in"
"I guess there's that. Still glad you remembered" He let me go.
"Bye Mira"
"Good luck with the job"
"Thanks" I got Daisuke and Lucy since Natsu insisted on bringing her along. We went to Tori's house and she gave us the briefing then we went into the East Forest. "So why exactly has no one else been able to get this tooth?"
"She said something protects it, were you even listening?!"
"Sorry Luce, it got boring"
"Unbelievable..." After 30 minutes of walking we made it to the designated area.
"Well there it is. Let's get it!" Natsu walked up to the tree.
"Why have I got a bad feeling about this?"
"Because Natsu brings that out in people"
"True Lucy"
"I'll help" Daisuke pulled on the tooth with Natsu.
"What has teeth that big?"
"Probably something we do not want to meet"
"You're right. Boys could you hurry this up!"
"We're trying!" My hands glowed and the glow travelled to the boys arms.
"Try now!" They gave it a great big pull and managed to get it out. "Strength enhancing works every time!"
"Thanks Yuri!" They brought the tooth and the trees started rustling.
"Do I dare ask what's happening?"
"But Luce you just did"
"Shut up Natsu" Small brown wormlike things dived for us. I made a barrier to surround us. "What are those things?!"
"I don't know but we should get out of here" I felt something crawl up my leg and screamed.
"What is it?!"
"Something went up my leg" Daisuke kneeled down in front of me and felt my jean legs.
"I don't feel anything but your actual legs"
"But I swear I felt something..."
"Anyway, how about we do the getting out of here?"
"But her barrier is stationary. It doesn't move"
"Who says it has to be a barrier?" I focused and the barrier slowly but surely turned into a ball. "Now we can roll it"
"Sweet!" We got the ball rolling and escaped those wormy things. I dispelled the ball. "That was so fun! Again!"
"Let's get the tooth to Tori first" we got to her house and gave her the tooth.
"Thanks so much! Now I can help dad engineer an antidote to the poison! My dad's a doctor if you hadn't already guessed"
"That's great that you're going to help him help people"
"I know! I'm excited to help too! Here's your reward money!" She handed me an envelope and we left.
"She seems nice"
"I know, let's split up this reward money. 200,000 so that's 50,000 jewels each" I gave everyone their share and put my share in my bag. "Let's go tell Mira we've finished" we went back to the guild and told Mira we completed the job then went to talk at our table.

(Time skip, 8pm)

By the time I'd gotten home, I was so tired for some reason. I could barely keep my eyes open. As soon as I closed my door I fell onto the nice soft carpet of my room. "Yuri?!"
"You know you seem to spend more time here than at your own house..." I chuckled.
"Are you drunk?"
"Where would I have got the alcohol from? Obviously I'm not drunk. I'm just really tired"
"But you haven't done much of anything"
"Exactly! I don't understand it"
"Well if you're tired then it's off to bed early for you"
"I can't move anything..."
"You are exaggerating. Stop being lazy and get on up here"
"No I'm being serious...Daisuke I can't move..."
"Even if I do this?" He positioned himself over me and pressed his lips to mine. He still thinks I'm joking! "You just want me to carry you"
"Stop! I'm not joking...! Something's wrong...with me..."
"Sorry but I had to check, I know you. Do you want to see a doctor?"
"There's something on my right leg..." He rolled my jeans up to my knee and gasped.
"It's one of those worms!"
"I told you something crawled up my leg...!"
"I didn't feel it before. I'm guessing this has something to do with your condition"
"Most likely..."
"Let's get this thing off then" He tried pulling it off but when he did I felt myself getting extremely weaker.
"Stop...you can't..."
"Why not?" My vision began to blur.
"Stop...Daisuke please..." He let go. "Thank...you..." A bright light appeared and brought Helena with it. She was standing next to us.
"Who are you?"
"I am Yuri's guardian, my name is Helena. I protect her from death when it is needed. If you keep trying to pull off that worm then you will kill her"
"What?!" His hands left my leg completely.
"This is life sucker worm and they connect themselves to the CNS becoming a central nerve itself. If you remove it then that will cause Yuri to die. Time magic is what you need for this" She knelt down and put her hands on the worm. They glowed yellow and the worm started to get small until it fell off in her hands. "They won't be part of her CNS if they're reverted back to their youngest form"
"Thank you Helena..."
"I'm just watching over you. You'll be feeling a little feverish but it should go away tomorrow around 9am"
"Thank you for saving her from that worm and me..."
"Do not blame yourself Daisuke West. You wouldn't have killed her and you know that"
"Yeah you're right, but it's still scary thinking I could have"
"I know it was. Farewell" She disappeared in a flash of light.
"So she's your guardian? I guess the Heavens Dragon must have sent her" or that that's the Heavens Dragon herself! But of course I couldn't say that, Helena said I shouldn't tell anyone she's the Heavens Dragon. I noticed her voice is different when she's talking and we're not alone. I guess if she had the same voice they would start to suspect her.
"Something...like that..." I got ready for bed and Daisuke stayed to look after me. "Thanks Daisuke...love you..."
"Love you too" He kissed me just as my consciousness faded.
