Akane Resort

Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Happy, Erza and (Y/n) are enjoying in the beach on Akane Resort given to them by Loke for helping him out. All the while Juvia is watching over them and adoring Gray.

After a while in the evening Erza is sunbathing on the balcony of her room.

"I really had a great time today, it was wonderful". I suddenly wake up short of breath after I remember my past. I then look at my hands "Just a dream, I might have fallen asleep without realising it". "Today was a good day, however then there was him" I remember (Y/n) who was sleeping everywhere. When we were swimming he was sleeping on a float, while playing volleyball he was sleeping and somehow he slept even when Happy built an entire sandcastle on his back. His reason..

(Y/n): "It's (Y/n) style of relaxing"

I sigh to myself. I then go and look myself in the mirror before requipping into my armor. "I always feel more at ease wearing armor, although as a wardrobe choice it's not the most feminine"

Soon Lucy opens the door of my room...

Lucy: "Erza get out of the room and have some fun. Natsu and Gray are downstairs, Last time I saw (Y/n) was killing it at the casino, so much that servers gave up, no one is playing against him and they have banned him from the slot machines"

Right there's a casino over here", "He's not sleeping, that's a miracle" I think about (Y/n). " In that case" I change into slit legged dress

I pose and ask Lucy "So how do I look"

Lucy: "You look great, maybe a bit on the glitzy side. Whatever now come"

I look myself in the mirror, "I guess it's okay to relax and enjoy every once in a while". I give the dress a bit of twirl, "I hope he likes it", (Y/n)'s one fanged smiling face comes in my mind.

I smile a bit to myself, "Wait why am I thinking about that idiot again"

While later we are playing I get a straight

Lucy: "WOW you got a straight"

I grin myself "Well today is my lucky day", I remember all the times I've played cards with (Y/n) and how he has bested me in. "Not today idiot".

??: "Why don't we raise a bit stakes higher sister"

The card dealer lays out cards spelling DEATH, I look at the card dealer and I'm shocked. "It can't be, Sho. Is that you ?"

Sho: So you do remember me

Lucy: Do you know him

"You...you're alive" I reply trembling

Sho: Alive ?

"I...I mean"

Lucy: "Are you okay"

Suddenly the lights go out and a gunshot is heard.

Lucy: "A gunshot"

"What is going on ?" I ask Sho only for him to reappear behind me

Sho: "I'm right here sister"

Sho then reveals various cards where he has made all the civilians his hostages. "Oh no"

Lucy: "He trapped them inside the cards"

Sho them shows a card where he has trapped a mascot

Sho: "Cool huh"

"You use magic"

Sho: "Yeah you're not the only one with powers anymore"

??: "Meow"

Suddenly Lucy is trapped in sort of rope.

"Let her go" I say authoritatively

??: Well aren't you rosy

"Milliana you can use magic too" I say looking at Milliana who has held Lucy...

Milliana: "It's been a while Erzy Werzy"

"Please let her go" I say to Milliana looking at Lucy

"She's a friend of mine"

Milliana: "A friend huh"

Sho: "We used to be friends of yours too. Remember good friends"

"I do" I reply to Sho

Sho: "We were very close. At least we were until you decided to betray us"

I tremble at Sho's words.

??: "Why don't you cut the dame a little slack pal. Keep those emotions in check and everything will be real dandy. Very nice life on the outside has been good to you huh"

"Wait a minute Wally" realizing who it is.

Wally: "I've gone through some changes myself. Old mad dog Wally you grew up with has seen a lot since the old days. I'm much smoother now"

"You practice magic as well"

I still reeling from this fact when another voice grabs my attention

??: "Why are you so surprised. It's not really hard once you get a hang of it. But you already knew that didn't you"

I turn around and see a large man with metal jaw cover

"Simon"

Milliana throws Lucy down...

Lucy: "Erza who are these people and why is he calling you sister"

I avert my gaze from Lucy to my old friends, "He's not my brother, but we grew up together"

Lucy: "What do you mean? I thought you said you joined Fairy Tail when you were just a little girl"

"This was way before I joined the guild" I then turn towards them and ask "Why did you find me ? What do you want ?"

Milliana: "You really wanna know"

Wally: "We're here to take you back with us"

"I'm begging you please release Lucy" I beg to them

Sho: "Who cares about her. We want you sister"

Wally: "Listen bimp don't move this could get ugly "

Wally points his hand which transforms into gun at Lucy

"No don't hurt her. Please Wally" however something powerful hits me in the back and the last thing I see is Lucy screaming...

Lucy: "ERZA NOO!"

However I regain my senses to hear Sho say they're taking me back to Tower of Heaven.

"The Tower of Heaven did they really finish"

As I'm being dragged away I hear a shout...

??: "ERZAAA!!"

I see it is (Y/n) who starts running towards me however we teleport and everything goes black "I'm sorry (Y/n)"

(Y/n) then goes out and helps Lucy who was trapped in some sort of rope by

Lucy: "Thanks a lot (Y/n). I owe you one"

(Y/n): "Don't mention it we gotta find the guys"

Lucy: "Ok"

Both of us start running towards the main attraction. (Y/n) and Lucy then come across an unconscious Gray

Gray: "What happened"

(Y/n): "Seems like they got Gray"

Lucy runs towards Gray

Lucy: "Snap out of it Gray talk to me"

She shakes Gray who transforms into ice and breaks. Then she tries fixing it

Lucy: "I'm so sorry. I will fix you in no time"

Lucy manages to make it worse

(Y/n): "Lucy don't worry..."

??: "There's no need to panic"

Suddenly a woman with blue hair appears in front of us.

Lucy: "Wait I know you. You were with the Element 4"

??: "Lucy wait she's not our enemy anymore"

She reveals Gray underneath her...

Lady with blue hair: "Yes that's right. I pulled my precious Gray inside of me to ensure his safety"

Lucy: "Is it just me or is that really"

Lady with blue hair: "Are you jealous, he was inside of me and not you"

All (Y/n) is imagining is this new lady wrapping herself like a sandwich around Gray

Gray: "This dude used a darkness spell to attack me, so I used a ice decoy"

Lady with blue hair: "I wanted to make sure Gray was safe, so I pulled him inside my water lock to ensure danger had passed"

Gray: "Thanks to that I couldn't do anything"

Gray removes his shirt...

Gray: "You know where other are.."

Lucy: "They took Erza and Happy?"

(Y/n): "Even Happy ?"

Lucy nods at (Y/n), suddenly they see a large torrent of fire

Lucy/Gray: "Natsu!"

Gray: "What happened to you"

Natsu: "HEY WHAT KIND OF JERK SHOOTS PEOPLE IN MY MOUTH, I mean someone could get really hurt"

(Y/n): "But you are alive"

Natsu: "THAT BLOCKHEAD WILL PAY"

Natsu runs towards the exit...

(Y/n): "All right then follow him"

Lucy: "Do you know where he is going"

Gray: "Natsu has a nose which puts wild animals to shame"

(Y/n): "Yeah let's go.."

(Y/n) steps forward but falls on his knees...

Lady with blue hair: "Your magic.."

Gray: "Yeah it's disappearing"

(Y/n): "That card guy gave me a drink, maybe something to do with that"

(Y/n) tries heading towards the exit, barely able to stand. However Gray punches him in the gut.

Gray: "Sorry but I can't let you get hurt"

(Y/n) falls down passed out...

Lucy: "Why did you punch him ?"

Gray: "He wouldn't stop. No matter what we said"

Lady with blue hair: "What do you mean my dearest"

Gray: "This guy won't care what condition he is in. He may appear lazy but deep down he cares for us a lot, and if we're doing this we wouldn't want Erza too look at him like this"

All of them go after Natsu leaving (Y/n) behind.

"ERZA!!!" I wake up shouting, then I suddenly look around and remember Gray knocked me out for my sake, however I feel my magic returning to me and take a deep breath.

"Bingo" I think to myself as I pick up Natsu's scent and follow it, until I reach the shore. I look around for any boats, but not a single one of them is available.

I go back and a little to have a little space before setting off running, as soon as my leg hits the water I close my eyes, however nothing happens. I open my eyes to see I'm still running on water, "Well this works". It's a neat trick I learned recently if I kick my leg in a running motion my speed increases greatly up to the fact I'm able to run on water, so far I've haven't come up with a name for this.

I continue running towards the direction of the scent. However a bad feeling stops me in my tracks, as I see above to see birds falling from the sky, dead fishes floating and a shipwreck, even Natsu's scent completely disappears.

I soon recognize the insignia on the ship, "What the this is a naval ship". Then I see large tower...

I pick up Natsu's scent faintly again from the tower, I decide to run again. Before squinting my eyes and seeing that there are guards outside. Before I decide to do anything else, I pick another familiar scent.

"Erza" I whisper to myself slowly and dive underneath the surface of water, carefully swimming as to not alert the guards my presence.

A guard of the Tower of Heaven is doing his rounds when he's suddenly shot down, when his dog like creature tries to alert even that is k shot. In the same way all the remaining lookouts around the tower are taken out mysteriously. One of the guards suspicions due to the activities and lack of his teammates goes to see what is happening near the water, as soon as he turns his back even he's shot in the back, knocking him out.

At a room man wearing a hood and his assistant see the actions happening.

Assistant: "Master should we send more guards"

Man in hood: "Looks like 'The Boogeyman" himself has decided to join our game, let us entertain him"

Assistant: "But shouldn't we concentrate on the ceremony it's a matter of time until the council catches onto our plans, first those wizards and now this, Master Jellal"

Jellal: "Now Vidaldus, how many times should I tell you not to worry about the council. The magic council only wishes they had the power to stop me"

Meanwhile (Y/n) enters the tower from underneath and quickly dries himself up. (Y/n) sees the all the guards lying and their creatures beaten up, unconscious. (Y/n) takes a quick sniff of air before grinning to himself.

(Y/n): "Good going guys"

(Y/n) then starts heading into the tower using a stairway

Flashback

I wake up on a beach tightening my hands into fists, tears falling from my eyes, "NOOO!".

Is all that manages to comes from my mouth, still shocked from the betrayal of Jellal.

As I'm crying with my head down, I feel some one pat my head, I lift my head and see a gray-haired boy wearing a fox mask with holes for his eyes, his (E/c) and (E/c) eyes looking at me, before asking...

??: "Why are you crying"

That was the day I met (Y/n).

Flashback ends

Me, Simon, Sho, Lucy, Juvia and Gray are heading towards the upper levels of the tower.

Simon: "Something is interfering my communication with Wally and Milliana"

Lucy: "What do you mean"

Juvia: "He's talking about telepathic communication"

Suddenly Erza stops seeing Sho has stopped...

Erza: "Is something bothering you Sho"

Sho: "I'm fine sister. I'm fine that now you're here"

Erza smiles, later all of them get in the tower and are about to go straight. Suddenly a voice is broadcasted around the tower...

P.A System: "I welcome you to the Tower of Heaven. My name is Jellal and I'm the ruler of this tower. I see the players have been arranged, I'm delighted you've come all this way to see me. Shall we play around the heavens game. The rules are quite simple, I wish to use Erza as a sacrifice in a ceremony to resurrect Lord Zeref. If I succeed the gates of Heaven will open, claiming my victory. However if you find a way to stop me, you will be winner of the game. I've enlisted 3 knights to fight on my behalf and one more surprise the magic council has focused the satellite square on this tower, it's highly likely they will fire. At this very moment they are in midst of voting for firing an etherion blast. There's no telling how much time is left, should the etherion strike annihilation is eminent no players left to win. Gam.."

??: "SHUT UP!"

Another voice interrupts Jellal's transmission shocking him, before he smiles to himself.

??: "You as much as lay hand on anyone of them, I will break every single bone in your body"

Natsu, Happy, Erza, Lucy, Juvia, Sho and Simon are shocked to hear (Y/n) speaking through the system.

Jellal: "(Y/n) or should I say 'The Boogeyman' I look forward to meeting you"

(Y/n): "After I'm done with you. You'd wish you never met me"

The transmission turns off, however Sho, Simon and Wally are still shocked

Simon: "I don't get it"

Erza: "What do you mean Simon"

Sho: "I mixed a potion in his drink that was supposed to knock him out for 2 days"

Gray: "No wonder he couldn't stand up back then, but I knocked him out"

(Y/n) despite taking all that trouble still came for me. "That idiot" When will he learn...

A group of guards are looking for the intruders in the tower. One of the guards goes to corridor to check when suddenly he's pulled from the scene. The other guards get alerted by this and go to search and two guards go check in the corridor, few seconds later one of the guards who had went to the corridor runs shouting in fear.

The remaining guards get ready to take action and form a circle one of the guards with guns ready who is about reach the end of the corridor when he's pulled away from the formation by a mysterious being.

Two of the guards get scared and run from the formation, sensing something awful is going to happen.

Their fears are proven true as a man drops between the guards and starts taking them down one by one with nothing more than kicks all the while keeping his hands in his pockets.

The two guards who had fled stop running and stand when they see a lone man standing, they are just about to shoot when the lone man runs towards them at and performs a flying kick...

??: "

The attacker suddenly twists in mid air and does a roundhouse kick on the other midair. The attacker then lands on his feet and takes a breath who is revealed to be (Y/n), his leg which is surrounded in bright neon blue which is slowly fading away.

————————————————————————

————————————————————————

I then look at my legs which are reverting back to normal colors. "Sheesh it has been many years since last I did this. I then look at my gun, "Man these things seem to slow me down in close range, maybe I should reduce using guns".

As I'm about to head in another direction a scent catches my attention

"Lucy" I then take a sniff of air and it becomes clear it's Lucy's scent and start heading in her direction.

"Just wait a little longer Lucy I will be there"
