Firefall || Fairy Tail

15 : a f t e r m a t h

Leave it to Natsu to save the day by wrecking something. Only he could crash a dragon. And everyone in Fairy Tail who was there found it amusing to no end. Carla had flown Wendy to the Plaza where Laxus had told them they had all originally started at. She wanted to make sure that no one was seriously hurt and needed healing. And to everyone's surprise, they were in decent shape, exhausted but good.

Nearly everyone was back besides the group from the castle, with a few extra stragglers standing around with the guild. Millianna was still trying to get Erza to sit down after helping her back with her broken leg, while Lyon had remained with Gray's group. Though he would never admit it out loud, he had wanted to make sure that his friend was still breathing even if the threats had all vanished in golden dust.

It was means to celebrate.

But at the moment, there was some buzz amongst the members of Fairy Tail. They were asking each other if they had foreseen something during the fight. A few clusters of people weren't really joining into the conversation because they weren't particularly fond of reliving those terrifying few minutes that could have been reality.

"It looks like everyone else has already arrived." Freed had the slightest of smiles on his face. "And it seems as if everyone is fine."

"Hmph," Evergreen huffed, "I don't know if I would say they're all fine."

Bixlow grinned, "But it looks like you were right about why Wendy went by overhead, Freed."

Verani didn't say anything as they finally arrived at their destination. She figured her brother, Natsu and the others would be there in the next five minutes and things were going to get particularly loud. For now, her eyes scanned the crowd, immediately looking for two familiar faces. A wave of relief washed over her as she saw one of those people headed in her direction too.

"You look tired," Amber grinned.

V rolled her eyes, "Like you look any better." Her gaze shifted to the bandages delicately wrapped around her hands. "Did you get a little carried away?"

The Blood mage shrugged her shoulders with a sigh, "Maybe just a little."

A silence settled between the two for a moment.

"Any sign of Kia?"

Amber shook her head slowly, "Nothing yet."

"Have you seen if Wa-?"

Verani stopped talking as many others around them did, all of their attention drawn by the streak of pale golden magic landed in front of their Sky Dragon Slayer.

"Wendy, I need you to come with me." Jellal said quickly, extending a hand in her direction.

Erza, who she had been looking over, sat up straighter, "What's going on?"

"I don't have time to explain. Is there anyone else who can use healing magic?"

Amber took a step forward, "I can a little."

Jellal turned, his eye catching with both hers and the blonde behind her. There was something in his eyes that shifted when he realized who had answered him.

"Verani, can you bring Amber?"

Her body felt stiff, but she knew there was no time for answers now. "Yeah."

Jellal gave her a nod, turning to offer his hand to Wendy again. She stood to her feet, placing her hand in his. "Hold on."

His body began glowing with his Heavenly Body magic before he was moving through the air again. V stepped up, putting an arm around Amber's waist as the other put hers around the blonde's shoulders. In time with Jellal, Verani sparked and took off.
