Atop the lacrima island that was currently glowing bright orange as it came closer and closer to the intended target, stood two dragon slayers and two exceeds. The kingdom of Extalia was quickly approaching and Dealana wasn't sure what they would be able to do to stop it.

"Gajeel, Dealana!" Happy exclaimed with wide eyes as the floating island continued on its course. "Quick! Use your dragon slayer magic to shatter the lacrima and turn everyone back!" 

"Can't," Gajeel instantly denied. "There's no time for that now. This puppy's speeding up." 

And he was right. Even if Gajeel and Dealana could shatter the entirety of the lacrima and get everyone down to the ground with Dealana's clouds, there just wouldn't be enough time before the island collided with Extalia. 

"There has to be something," Dealana said. She rubbed the scar along her nose as she ran through various scenarios in her head. Each one ended with a massive explosion, which was less than desirable. "I can use my clouds to try and slow it down. But then what?"

Shortly after Dealana began considering her options, a loud screech pierced the air. It belonged to a blue color flying beast with an odd appearance, though the sky-blunette was more interested in that fact that it rammed its head into the floating lacrima island in an attempt to slow it down. 

"At least it's on our side," She muttered. But even with the extra force pushing against the island, she knew it wouldn't be enough. 

"Screw this!" Dealana suddenly snapped to no one in particular. She ran forward and jumped off the island spreading her arms wide and leaving the remaining three in shock. 

A small cloud took shape underneath Dealana's feet and she surfed against the floating island, focusing her magic energy. Closing her eyes and extending her hands, a massive magic seal appeared in front of her with a large, white cloud beginning to take shape. 

She moved her arms a bit, manipulating the cloud's movements to help push against the floating island. If she was lucky, the cloud would also serve to cushion the impact on Extalia, potentially preventing the explosion that would kill everyone within the lacrima. Dealana figured that if she were going down, she would go down fighting.

"Dealana!" She could hear several voices exclaim, but she didn't let up. By now, her braids had finally completely escaped and her surprisingly long hair flowed wildly behind her in waves among the intensifying winds. She grunted with the effort of using the energy to push against the island.

They all could hear the familiar sound of Natsu's determined yelling and Happy flew over the edge to meet the pyro half-way. "Outta my way!" He shouted as he too began to push back against the floating island.
