What If... Jerza

Jellal's Death

What if... Jellal got heavily injured in battle?

---------------------

Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Sabertooth, Twilight Ogre, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel, Quatro Cerberus, and even Crime Sociere were fighting against Zeref and his demons. Guilds all across Fiore fought together to vanquish these beasts that were an enormous threat to the citizens all across the country. The eight guilds spread all across the once-beautiful Clover Town, and they fought together as one. All of them with the same goal in mind; to end the chaos that Zeref had created.

Erza fought with all her strength, but with each strike of her sword, her magic energy level went down drastically. Jellal fought alongside her, their backs brushing against each other every once in a while. After what felt like hours of battling, Erza and Jellal were down to two demons in their area. They fought with all their strength. A two on two battle. After the last monster crumbled to the ground, they sat, back to back in the middle of the battle-field.

Erza was panting heavily. As she traced the rocky surfaced ground with her fingers, she couldn't help but wonder if everyone else was okay. Jellal turned his body to sit down beside her, and she couldn't help but smile.

"We did it!" He proclaimed happily. Erza rested her head on his shoulder. She was finally getting some time with Jellal.

"Not so fast," a voice behind them boomed.

They both snapped their heads around to find another demon from Zeref's books.
There was another one?
Before Erza could react, the demon shot a blast of magic towards her. She could do nothing but brace herself for the impact. She closed her eyes tight, but... she did not feel any pain. She opened her eyes only to find Jellal standing in front of her. 

He had used himself as a shield.

"NO!" She screamed. "JELLAL!"

Jellal slumped back, and Erza caught him in her arms. She placed his head in her lap and began to gently shake him.
"Jellal?" She shook him harder, "JELLAL?" She could feel tears streaming down her face.
"Somebody! Help!" She yelled at the top of her lungs. Nobody was around to hear her terrified voice.

The demon laughed. "He won't survive that blow. But, I'll let you guys have your final moments before I kill you too." Erza glared at the demon with pure hatred. He was going to pay.

Suddenly, she heard a shaky breath come from Jellal's mouth. He slowly opened his eyes just enough to see a figure towering over him. His vision was blurry but he see the scarlet color of her hair.
"Er-za?" He questioned weakly. His eyes came to focus. He could see it was Erza... and she was crying. He tried to sit up, but pain seared up his back and forced him to remain in her arms.
"I'm right here, Jellal," she gripped onto one of his hands. She squeezed it tightly.
"Erza... I... don't think I'll make it." He coughed in between his words.
Erza squeezed his hands even tighter. "Jellal, don't say that," she tried her best to reassure him with a smile. "We will make it through this together."

He smiled up to Erza and cupped her face with his shaky hand.
"Erza, always remember that I love you."
"I love you too, Jellal."

Jellal wanted to say more, but he didn't have enough energy to speak. He slowly closed his eyes. Erza began to tremble with the fear of losing him.
"Jellal, don't you dare close your eyes!" Her voice faltered and she hugged his weak body. "I don't want to lose you again!"
A single tear glided down Jellal's face. All he could do was put on his best smile.

Jellal's body became limp in Erza's arms. The rising and falling of his chest had slowed significantly. Erza froze in shock and she felt her heart shatter into a gazillion pieces.

"No... no, no, no, no..." Erza muttered under her breath. This couldn't be happening to her right now.
"JELLAL!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

The demon laughed. "Looks like the brave Titania has finally broken. Your friend's time is finally up. Now it's your turn to end." The demon got into an attacking stance.

A wave of energy erupted from Erza. It spread in all directions with powerful force. Any magical weapon the wave of energy touched began to hover in the air. Erza's body began glowing with a red aura. The demon took a small step back. He had underestimated his enemy.

In a split second the weapons all pointed in the direction of the demon, surrounding him in every direction. Before the demon could even react, all the weapons surged forward, and the damage he received was... gruesome. He hit the ground with a big thump.

With her enemy defeated, Erza hugged Jellal's cold body. She hoped with all her heart he was still with her.

---------------------

After Erza had released a powerful wave of energy, the other mages that had finished off their enemies ran towards the direction the energy came from to investigate. As they ran closer to the source, they saw two figures that were fallen on the floor. A demon that was not-so-far-away was also on the ground, and had weapons sticking out of it's body in every direction imaginable.

Erza's was clutching onto Jellal's protectively. Guilds from everywhere watched with bitter sadness, knowing it was too late to save Jellal. All they could do was watch as the great Titania cried over the body of her dead lover.
