Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 64

The bright light dimmed, but just before it did he could just barely see how something flew away. He heard thundering sound that echoed through the forest and it made the crystals tremble.

"So you think you can escape, huh?" he growled with a smirk. This was much more interesting! They might think they could get away from him, but he would hunt them down!

The purple spear was lifted.

"Energized Crystal: Disc!" he commanded and a big disc made out of smooth light yellow crystal appeared in the air. He hopped on top of it, using the energy he had stolen from Laxus and flew off towards the direction where he had seen the lightning go.

Evergreen looked up, seeig how Moritz flew over them. He took the bait. Soon the man had disappeared somewhere towards north.

"We have to start moving", she said and tied the last bandage she had managed to make out from Laxus' shirt.

The Thunder God was sweating and huffing heavily. It took his last bit of strength to make that one big blow and the lightning would not stop before it was far enough, luring Moritz as far as possible from them.

"You okay?" Evergreen asked worried.

"Yeah..." Laxus murmured. "It's a long way... Back to Magnolia..." he panted and looked at the brunette. "You sure you can do it?"

"You just leave it to me", Evergreen nodded with a smile, though she wasn't at all sure if she could actually make it. She just had to try.

Laxus chuckled.

"Okay, I know I can trust you, Ever", he muttered.

Evergreen got up and even though she was worried, she was also determined. She would take them back to Magnolia even if it would take the last bit of her magic to do so!

"Hummingfairy!" she said and the air flashed bright.

The golden chainmail dress glimmered in the sunlight and large wings spread out. At this point, Laxus already slipped to unconsciousness. Evergreen grabbed a tight hold of him and the air was filled with buzzing as her wings started moving.

They bolted up in the air and Evergreen headed towards Magnolia. She was fast and she would use all of her magic to go even faster. She knew she would be so exhausted after this it was seriously dangerous, but she would not let Laxus die here!

The mountain was soon left behind them and the forest below them experienced a huge burst of air when the fairy mage flew over it, causing leafs to rustle around and rip off from trees. It was like a sudden, only seconds lasting hurricane hit it.

Freed stepped down in the chamber where some of the Fairy Tail's secrets were hold and Mest shut the door tightly after they all were inside.

"This sucks", Bickslow grunted annoyed. "We should be fighting up there as well with others."

"Hate to admit, but I do agree with you", Rosco muttered with a frown. It didn't feel right at all to just stay here safe while others were fighting against Emmett. They didn't even know what all that man could do.

"It's not because they think you're not strong enough", Mest reminded them as they stepped further in the chamber that was lit with some lacrimas. "It's to make sure that no matter what, Emmett won't get what they need."

"Yeah, I hear you", Bickslow groaned. "It still sucks."

"Will they be alright?" Chester asked. He was worried about Cana...

"Don't worry, baby! They're strong all of them!" the seith mage grinned. "That Salt Shaker won't be able to take them all down! Right, Freed?"

"Yes", Freed said with a small smile. "I believe in them."
