The flash of light from the Etherion blinded everyone, the blast ultimately went off and Vyra stubbled back due to the quaking and lost her footing.

"NATSU!" Vyra screamed reaching out to the dragon Slayer through the blast as she was now falling from the tower

"VYRA!!!!" Natsu flung himself to the bluenette before Simon held him back

There hands were a inch away from each other but it wasn't enough.

Natsu screamed in horror as he watched his best friend fall to the depths of the tower.

________________

The blast rippled through the area, debris scattered, and for a moment, it seemed like everything had been destroyed. 

"VYRA!!" Natsu's desperate scream tore through the thick smoke

"VY!!" He dropped to his knees, frantically trying to see through the heavy smog, even attempting to catch her scent, his heart pounding in panic.

The dragon slayer was in complete distress. He knew the plan—save Erza—but his mind had gone completely blank. 

For the first time in what felt like forever, he didn't know what to do next. His legs refused to move, his body frozen in place.

Simon, watching Natsu's reaction, was stunned. He had always seen the dragon slayer act tough, rarely showing his emotions so openly.

 But now... it was clear. Natsu's fear, his desperation, his concern for Vyra—it made Simon wonder if there was something more between them than just friendship.

A loud screech echoed through the air, making both Natsu and Simon whip their heads to the right.

"I-I'm here!! I'm okay!!" a voice echoed, muffled but unmistakable

Natsu's super-sensitive hearing immediately picked up on it—it was Vyra. Relief flooded him, though the anxiety didn't fully subside. He scanned the area, finally spotting her.

Vyra was ten stories below, barely visible through the smoke and wreckage.

"L-Listen!" she called out as loud as she could, her voice strained

"You go a-and get Erza! I'll c-catch up-" Her breathless tone and coughing made it clear she wasn't in good shape

"What? No! I'm not leaving you!" Natsu shot back, his voice filled with concern

He hesitated, torn between following the plan and making sure Vyra was safe.

"Natsu—Erza needs you right now! Go, I'm coming, I promise!" Vyra's voice was firm despite her struggle, trying to reassure him.

The dragon slayer clenched his fists, his scowl deepening. He didn't want to leave her behind, but he knew she was right. With a frustrated growl, he forced himself to his feet. He cast one last glance at Vyra, his worry still evident, before grabbing Simon and continuing onward.

With Erza and Jellal

"JELLAL, YOU'RE THROUGH!" Erza screamed summoning another weapon flash stepping attacking him head on

"I'm taking revenge for all the people you've abused, this is the end Jellal. I'll kill you!!" Erza screamed going in for another attack hopefully that will end this fight once and for all

"Huh? What's happening to my arm?" Erza gasped, dropping her weapon

"It's just a bind snake, I slipped it on to you during our heart warming embrace we had earlier-" Jellal replied smugly as Erza screamed in agony
