Love At War | JeRza

Chapter Ten

Jellal's P.O.V.
"No way...." I whisper in anger. There is no way, no way, no way we can win now. I don't doubt the power of our kingdom but no way can we go against one of the strongest wizards in the world! I look at Erza, the blood rushes to her cheeks. Natsu stares at her in shock.

"Zeref is coming!?" Natsu jumps up, "you're kidding!" She shakes her head in sadness. He's the younger brother of the Spriggan King, the Spriggan Prince. Natsu slowly sits down, still taking everything in. "Is queen Irene really this desperate?"

"To win? Yes." Erza replies. She looks at her feet, "my mother hates defeat, she even told me that Fiore might win. So she pulled the card. Who knows, maybe Zeref is not one to come to wars between other kingdoms." She stares Natsu in the eyes, "you always told me how he hated to fight for someone."

"Don't forget, Erza, Irene is a member of the Spriggan 12, also Zeref's great friend." Natsu lays down, puts one arm behind his head, and uses the other to play with Erza's scarlet hair. She sighs and looks up at me.

I'm shocked for words. "I see," I finally say. What is there to say? My kingdom is doomed. That's when a idea pops into my head "Wait..." They both stare at me, "who's someone matched in power as Zeref's? A lover of Zeref's? The first queen of Fiore! Mavis Vermilion can help!"

"Hasn't she been dead for like, years?" Erza asks, Natsu nodding as he brushes his hair with his hands. He begins braiding her hair and whistling. "There is no way to resurrect the dead, Jellal. I'm sorry. I really am-"

"There is one way to revive Mavis." I interrupt her. Natsu takes the hair out of the braid and played with her hair again, "Mavis didn't have any children so she chose my great, great, great, great, great grandfather as our new King. When Mavis died, our second King didn't want her to die. He tried to revive her multiple times, only to fail. But due to those failed spells cast on her body, he actually brought her back to life. Unfortunately, he didn't know because she refused to wake up."

"So you're saying that we should resurrect Queen Mavis Vermilion?" Said Natsu. Natsu sits up and let's go of Erza's scarlet hair. I nod as he brushes his own hair with his hand, "but... Would Mavis really agree with what we are doing? Wouldn't your grandfather not be King anymore?"

"Once Mavis has done the deed we ask her, she'll go back to sleep in her tomb...or at least that's what the legends say." I stand up and look at Erza, "but anything will work, we need to stop Zeref." She looks down and sighs.

She looks up, hope in her big chocolate brown eyes."You're right, where do we find her tomb?" I smile. She actually agreed, what a surprise. People tell me that she's stubborn and rude, I can now see that they're all just lies. Not only is she kind, brave, strong, and caring, she's beautiful too.

"We need to go to Fiore." I said. I look at them as they look down at their clothes and each other, "you'll need disguises. Tomorrow, at night. I'll be at the border. Make up fake names and wear different clothes."

"Alright!" Natsu stands up and smiles, "IM FIERD UP NOW!"

"Can we join?" We hear laughing coming from outside the tent. We freeze and look at a naked man and a stylish dressed girl. "How come the Pyro Freak gets to be part of your plan and we don't, Erza?" The naked boy said.

Erza blushes, the blondie laughs, "well..I thought you would tell my mom. Natsu is super scared of me, I thought if I was scary enough he wouldn't say anything."

"That's cold, Erza!" Natsu exclaims. I let out a little laugh as they bicker.

"No offense, Erza, but I think everyone is scared of you." Lucy says in disappointment.

"Don't worry, we won't tell. It's not like we want this war anyway." Wendy walks in along with Sting, Rouge, Gajeel, and Laxus, "we wanna help too! We heard everything and I think we should get along."

"Hey, I'm sorry about earlier." Lucy rubs her head and holds her hand out to shake Wendy's. Wendy laughs and shakes Lucy's hand, "I-I really thought you were mean. I guess I was wrong."

"I really look up to you, man." Sting tells Natsu.

"Really? You're not bad yourself." Replies Natsu.

"Hey, you almost killed me out there." Gray and Laxus fist bump, "you're strong, man."

"I've heard about you two," Natsu points at Gajeel and Rogue. He looks at them both thoughtfully. They await complements. "You should fix your faces."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" They both exclaim causing everyone in the tent to laugh. I stare at Erza, she stares at me. A long, gorgeous smile appears on her face. I smile back.

Third Person P.O.V.
Erza left her hair alone, bought bright blue eye contacts, and dressed in something not princess like. She wears a white tank top, a tight black skirt, a black choker, tall leather black boots, and a long black cloak. She named herself Knightwalker. "I hate this." She growls. Lucy is the one who picked this out of her closet.

"You look amazing!" Lucy exclaims. She is wearing a short black wig. She is also wearing a strapless, short, tight red dress that shows off her figure. She is also wearing black flats and a black cloak over everything. She named herself Ashly.

"I don't think you should wear that, we're going on a trip." Natsu walks out of the tent. He combed his hair flat, he wore a white buttoned shirt, black pants, dark red shoes, and the black cloak. He looks ridicules. He named himself Dragion.

"That's the point, dork, no one will notice us like this." Gray says, not wearing a shirt. He's wearing his regular pants, orange wig, thick black eyeliner, and the black cloak. He named himself Surge.

"I don't think you even need clothes, Gray. You'll most likely strip anyway." Said Jellal. He wore a tight white shirt showing off his abs, tight black pants, blue eye contacts, and a black cloak over everything. He named himself Mystogan.

"This is our kingdom, why do we need disguises?" Wendy walks out of the tent, drinking a water bottle. She is wearing a short white wig, a long white shirt with a red heart in the middle, a layered red skirt, black running shoes, and the black cloak. She named herself Mary.

"Just in case." Gajeel sits down on a log. His hair is tied back, he is wearing non-prescription glasses, and the black cloak that is hiding everything that he wearing since he buckled it up. He named himself Steel.

"They're stylish too." Sting smiles. He is wearing no shirt, a white vest with a golden outline, white pants with a golden outline, black sandals, and the black cloaks. He named himself Ray.

"I agree." Rogue states, his hands fold as he nods. He wears the same as his brother but all black. He wore a blonde wig and tried to smile. He named himself Shadow.

"These are the worst names ever." Laxus rolls his eyes. He wore a black wig, green shirt, black pants, black running shoes, but he didn't wear the cloak. He wore his long jacket over his shoulders and called it a day. He named himself Bolt.

"Yeah, because Bolt is soooo creative." Gray folds his arms and rolls his eyes, imitating Laxus. Laxus frowns causing Gray to quickly shut his mouth. "You guys ready to go?" He whispers.

"As ever." Erza walks on the other side of the border and flips her cloak's hoodie on, "come on." Everyone nod and walk after her. And so the mission to find the person who stole the jewels is at hold, now they are looking for help.
