Phoenix Burns (FairyTail)

~Chapter 23~

~Levy's Pov~ 

I smirked as August had made Invel get hit by the ground he was standing on sending him flying into the air. "I shall punish him now Levy you are under my wing and my best student after all" August spoke his eyes closed as he was trying to keep a calm look as I hugged his arm tighter. "Thank you Grandpa August" I spoke smiling as the boy but Leroy looked at me in shock. "Never mess with August's star pupil when he is around, a simple known fact" Leroy soon spoke as I laughed slightly.

I let go of August's arm as he walked ahead as Invel fell to the ground making the full ground turn into ice. "Leroy the people" I spoke fast as he nodded shouting to the guards to rush everyone inside the temple as I moved my arm toward the air. "Heat" I spoke quietly moving my arm as a glowing red orb the size of a building showed in the air as I did have magic just like my old one but it was more summoning whatever I wanted without them being words or to say the full chant. "August she is playing you" Invel snapped.

"You threatened people in the one place they cannot be harmed in Invel that is your own doing" August replied calmly as Invel looked annoyed snow started to fall from the ground. "Gray, Natsu please get to Juvia's side and keep her safe" I spoke as they nodded rushing off to the temple as I stood next to August. "Grandpa August let me help out" I spoke my hand aiming toward Invel. "He threatened people close to me along with myself" I then added as August chuckled. "You learned a lot of magic Levy do not go easy on Invel" August replied.

Invel looked shocked as I looked toward Gajeel. "One last team up?" I asked in a whisper smiling as he smiled toward me and then smirked looking toward Invel his hands turning into iron swords as he rushed at Invel. "You trust him that much?" August asked. "I once loved him" I replied rushing ahead sending Gajeel enchantments as after 500 years I did learn new magic, old magic even. "YO DOWN THERE" we heard Ajeel's voice getting us all to stop the battle and look up to see him on one of his many battle ships.

"Priestess Lucy ordered me to watch if anything happens and dear Priestess forbids attacks in the town and temple, you must all stop at once or face her and Lord Zeref's punishment" he soon nearly shouted smirking his head off. He always had a thing for beautiful women. "I hate to admit but he is right" I whispered as Gajeel tapped his foot on the ground getting iron to come out and hit Invel in the face hard. "Ok I will stop now" Gajeel spoke smirking his hands going back to normal getting me to laugh.

That was much like him. "Ajeel why are you really here with battle ships?" August asked loudly as the Spriggan jumped off his ship landing on the ground next to me. "I'm heading to the boarder line once I see you and Invel home and give my report" Ajeel answered as he turned his head to look at me. "Don't get cocky now Levy you are no longer protected under the Priestess laws" Ajeel spoke as I put a hand on my hip. "For now I'm acting in Lucy's place ask her yourself" I replied annoyed.

"No need you wouldn't lie about that, you are normally good with the rules but you used powerful magic before the duel did you not?" Ajeel soon asked with a smirk as August stepped forward. "Under my permission" August spoke lying for me what shocked me as Ajeel soon sighed. "Irene would of loved to punish someone today all well" Ajeel then spoke making sand grow under his feet. "Time to head home and Invel remove the ice and cold or you will get in more trouble" Ajeel spoke turning his whole body into sand the flew into the air toward the battle ship he came from.

He was an annoying and powerful person. The ice and and snow started to vanish as Invel was glaring toward me. "Watch your back" he whispered leaving the town as August looked toward me. "Be careful around him Levy" August spoke before walking off, following Invel as I looked toward the Orb clicking my fingers making it vanish. "So Shrimp when did you learn enchantments?" Gajeel asked walking over and looking toward me. "Around 200 years ago" I answered trying to remember as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"I know Bunny-Girl went through a lot but what about you Shrimp?" he soon asked as I did miss his voice and that annoying and awful nickname. "Lucy took it, only thing bad happening to me was getting badly hurt in the wars" I answered as everyone was leaving the temple as Juvia was next to us in a second hugging me tight. "Juvia was scared he would hurt Levy like he hurt Juvia" Juvia spoke her eyes watering as I laughed. "He just made the tiniest bruise and Lucy would fry him"  spoke.

"Than again soon as Ajeel tells Lucy will lose control and attack, I might have to leave and calm her" I then mumbled as Juvia hugged me tighter. "Lucy can beat him?" Juvia asked shocking me as she normally called Lucy 'Love-Rival'. It made me see Gray and smirk. "When he finally admit his feelings?" I asked in sing song voice as Juvia's face turn red as Gray walked over confused. "Come on Gray when you admit it?" I asked as he froze understanding why Juvia was red as I laughed.

"GRUVIA is CANNON!" Mira soon shouted loudly and excited as that was just like her. Everyone was so the same while me.....I was different. I watched so many deaths, kill many and watched Lucy suffer. All these years.....I nearly did give up. It was Leroy to stop that but now my family was back. I felt my heart truly beat happily.
