Levy P.O.V

Achnolgia was free. We all stared in terror and the dragons head, his body still buried beneath the ground. Zeref stood before him.

"Achnolgia! I have released you from your prison! You now obey me! Now, destroy these vermin!" Zeref shouted, motioning to us. Gajeel limped in front of me and took a ready stance.

Achnolgia was still has he stared at Zeref. "I said obey me you damn beast!" Zeref shouted. Achnolgia growled and roared at Zeref. Gajeel turned and tried to cover my eyes but I saw it. Achnolgia swung down his head, and ate Zeref, biting him in two. I tried not to get sick on poor Gajeel.

The dragon roared as he tried to escape his earthen prison. "What are we gonna do?!" Lucy cried. I tried to think of any other way, but I knew it was no good. "I'm going to have to seal him." I said. "No! It will kill you!" Gajeel shouted.

The others protested and I waited. When they finally stopped shouting I looked at them. "There is no other choice. I have to do this." I smiled sadly at them. Lucy was about to cry.

"Head back towards the guild. Half a mile from here you should run into Freed. He is setting up a barrier to keep Achnolgia contained at least for a little while, and any attack he might send out." I said.

There was more arguing,"There isn't time!" I shouted. I would not let these tears fall. "Now please.... Go!" they all stared at me in shock. "GO!" I shouted again. Lucy went to run for me but Natsu grabbed her and flew away. Mira and Erza were close on his heels.

I turned to see Gajeel and Lily still there. I smiled a little. "Why don't you listen?" He looked at me with pained eyes. He looked so, broken.

"You can't do this. I won't let you." His voice caught and he cleared his throat. I smiled softly at him and gently touched his face.

"Gajeel, I want you to always remember," my voice grew tight but I couldn't stop. "That Metalicana and I, will always love you."

His eyes widened as he stared at me, his eyes shining with unspilt tears. "Levy..." he whispered. I smiled,"Hey you finally said my name!" he smiled a little and held my hand to his cheek." Now, sleep." He raised an eyebrow before collapsing. I caught him and looked to Lily. "Get him out of here."

Lily transformed and tossed Gajeel on to his shoulder."He should wake up once Freed has activated the barrier. He won't be able to come in so you can let him go."

I tried to stay strong, but Lily pulled me into a one armed hug. I could feel the tears spilling but I quickly wiped them away. Lily quickly turned and flew after the others.

I turned to Achnolgia who had started getting loose. I stood with my feet shoulder width apart and held out my hands. Three magic circles appeared, one under me, one around his exposed neck and the other about ten feet above his head.

He roared and a burning power flew from him, whipping back my hair and clothes. It was so strong I could feel it burning my skin. "Seal!" I yelled. The circles glowed and I poured all of my magic into it. He roared and a large ball of light appeared at his mouth.

He roared and shot the light, but it collided with the magic circle. "I said seal god damn it!" I shouted. The circles glowed a blinding light and his attack erupted, covering the area, and everything went black.

Gajeel P.O.V

"Now sleep." she said. What? Then things went black. The next thing I know I wake up to a face full of fur. When I tried to move, Lily adjusted his hold on me as he floated in the air. I snapped out my wings and looked around.

"Where's Levy?" They were all silent. I was about to ask again when I heard the roar. I looked towards the sound and started for it, but a rune wall blocked me.

"Undo it Freed!" I yelled at the green haired mage. "I can't Gajeel." He said. "Undo it god damn it!" I shouted. There was another roar, and I turned to see a bright light. We all had to shield our eyes, and the power coming from it was heart stopping. The air was hot and it burned slightly.

When the light finally faded we stared in shock. In the circular wall Freed had created, where there once was green lush forest, was now a burned wasteland. Trees leaned and flaked away and things were smoking.

My heart nearly stopped knowing Levy was caught in that. Freeds wall melted away and I quickly flew to where Mavis' tree once stood.

"Levy!" I called for her. The silence was terrifying. "Levy!!!" I then caught the sent of ink that was so familiar. I flew down and that's when I saw her.

She was laying on her side and was still. I knelt beside her and gently lifted her into my arms. Her skin was burned and an angry red. Her fingers were brown and slowly flaking away like dirt. Vines grew from the ground and attached to her bare burned skin. Her body was being returned to the earth.

I held her close to my chest and buried my face into her soft hair. I didn't care about the wetness that fell from my eyes. I couldn't help the roar of sorrow that left my lungs.

General P.O.V

The dragons anguished roar filled the air. Aways away his companions heard and drowned in their sorrow. A blonde woman clung to a pink hair dragon, a fairy comforted a demon and an exceed sobbed.

The brightest light in Fairy Tail had been snuffed out.
