Chapter 9: Battle of Fairy Tail!

Everyone was gathered in the medical office in the guildhall, they were all circled around one bed were Itachi was laying breathing heavily and sweating, he was also shirtless. Mirajane sat on his right and Erza was standing above him on his left. Mira placed a wet towel on Itachi's forehead. "Itachi…" Mira muttered and her face clearly showed that she had been crying.

"What's wrong with him?" Natsu questioned.

"H-He coughed up blood… He did it when he fought Jellal to… But I thought he was just injured from an attack." Erza said as she saw a trail of blood running down from Itachi's lips, Erza then took a tissue and wiped the blood trail off.

"I see that you brats found out then…" The voice of Master Makarov was heard, they instantly turned towards the door were their dwarf master stood.

"You mean you knew?" Gray asked.

"Master, what's wrong with him?!" Mira asked as her face was filled with worry same as Erza and the rest of them.

Makarov let out a sigh. "He's sick."

"Sick? Then all we have to do is to wait for him to get better." Natsu said with a grin. "He's gonna be just fine."

"It's not that kind of sickness, Natsu." Makarov said as the grin on Natsu's face vanished.

"What do you mean not that kind of sickness?" Cana questioned.

Mira and Erza were both shaking and had wide eyes of fear, they both hoped that what they thought was wrong. "Y-You don't mean…" Mira stuttered.

"He's dying…" Makarov confirmed as the mood in the room turned dark and nothing but silence was heard.

"D-Dying? Onii-chan, is dying? I-It can't be…" Erza had trails of tears running down from her eyes, as the masters silence said that it was true.

Mira sat there frozen as trails of tears ran from her eyes. As memories of her meeting Itachi for the first time, her joining the guild, their first S-class job, Lisanna's death and Itachi comforting her. All of the memories she had with the guild and Itachi ran through her mind. She then looked over to Itachi who was still unconscious and breathing heavily as his body looked weak and paler. "Is-Isn't there anything we can do to help him?"

"We are trying the best we can." Makarov replied.

"Hang on! How long have you known?!" Gray shouted. "How long has he been sick?! How long?!"

"…He's been sick for over two years now." Makarov replied.

"Two years? Why?! Why didn't he tell me about this?! Why didn't you?!" Erza asked as she clenched her fist in anger while tears ran down her face. "Wh-Why… Why didn't I notice that something was wrong?! Why…"

"It's okay…" Itachi's voice weakly muttered. "It's okay, Erza… It's okay…" Everyone turned towards Itachi who had opened his eyes, he was still breathing heavily and sweating.

"Why didn't you guys tell us sooner?!" Natsu asked.

"I-I didn't want to… worry you… I didn't…ugh!" Itachi muttered as he tried to sit up, but then he felt the pain in his chest increase.

"No, please just rest. You need to rest." Mira said as she gently placed Itachi back in the bed.

"Huh, he didn't want you guys to worry. He was going to try and solve it with a small amount of help." Makarov said.

"Who? Who else besides you knew?" Erza asked.

"Only me, Porlyusica, and Mystogan." Makarov replied. "He wanted less people to know, he knew that all of you would blame yourself if you couldn't manage to get the herbs needed for his cure. And since Mirajane had just lost Lisanna he knew that this would be too much for you to deal with at the moment, and he knew that it would send you down a path of despair, Erza. He informed me so that I could insure that his secret would be kept, Porlyusica so that she could help him make the cure, and Mystogan to help look for the herbs."

"So, there is a cure?" Lucy asked.

"Unfortunately, Itachi couldn't find the last herb needed for it, Mystogan found all of the herbs Itachi asked him to find, and Itachi found the ones he was supposed to find except for one. A certain rare flower plant with a certain healing juice in it. He spent that two year long job of his to find those herbs." Makarov said.

"Then all we have to do is to find that flower, right?! Alright Happy, Lucy, Erza, Gray, let's go!" Natsu declared.

"Aye sir!" Happy cheered.

"It's no use…" Itachi muttered.

"What?" Natsu questioned.

"I-I didn't inform this to even you master, but. It only took me a year to gather the herbs I have given Porlyusica. I spent the other year looking for that flower…Ugh! A whole year, and I didn't find it." Itachi informed.

"What?" Makarov questioned as his eyes was wide and his body was shaking. "Then…"

"Yes, at first I went… to the village where Porlyusica said those flowers tend to bloom. But when I got there the entire field was burned up…" Itachi said as everyone began to look even more worried. "I-I asked the locals what happened… And they said… Th-That a dragon burned the field." Itachi said as Natsu widened his eyes.

"A-A dragon…" Natsu muttered.

"It wasn't Igneel by the way… This dragon was black with blue markings on its body… They said it destroyed a village and a few mountains then the field… I then continued to look for it in other places where it was rumored to bloom and grow… but they all turned out to be false or that they used to but not anymore… It's just time to face facts… That flower does not exist anymore, and I will eventually die…" Itachi said then.

SLAP!

A red mark of a hand was on Itachi's cheek as Mira who was crying had slapped him. "D-Don't you dare give up!"

"M-Mira?" Itachi questioned as Mira buried her face on Itachi's chest as tears ran down her face.

"Th-There has got to be another way… It just has to be… We have to keep trying…" Mira cried.

"She's right we can't give up hope just yet!" Erza said with a burning determination in her eyes.

"How much time do you have?" Gray asked.

"Well… at the moment Porlyusica is trying to mix up some medicine that will prolong my life with some of the extra herbs I gathered… We'll have to wait until she's done and has given it to me." Itachi replied.

"Did she say when they would be done?!" Erza asked.

"She said around the time when the Fantasia Parade is over… I'll just need to hold on until then…" Itachi replied.

"And once you get your medicine we will ask that hag if there is any other way!" Natsu said as his fists were infused in flames.

"Right, now let's go and make things ready for the parade." Itachi said, but two certain someone's had something else to say.

""Oh, no you don't!"" Mirajane and Erza shouted in unison.

"Huh?" Itachi questioned in confusion.

"You need to rest mister!" Mira said as she brought her face closer to Itachi's with a serious expression.

"That's right! You're sick and you will not leave this bed until you get your medicine!" Erza said as she also brought her face closer to Itachi's sharing Mira's serious expression.

"B-But, I have dealt with this for over 2 years now… Without any kind of medicine. I'm fine, I just used a little too much power against Jellal." Itachi said as he was actually surprised by the two girls actions he was even beginning to sweat a little nervously.

"What does that have to do with anything?!" Erza questioned.

"Oh, did Master leave that part out? If I use more than 40% of my full power I shorten my lifespan, and I think I used around 40% against Jellal maybe a little less." Itachi said as if it was no big deal.

""You are not leaving this bed."" Mira and Erza said with a dark expression as they sent looks that said, if you leave this bed we will kill you.

"Uh, guys a little help?" Itachi asked the others who had begun walking out the door.

"Ah sorry kid, you're on your own." Master Makarov said as he and the others went down to the main hall.

"Good luck." Cana said with an amused chuckle.

"We feel sorry for you dude." Gray said as Natsu nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, see ya." Natsu said.

"Aye." Happy said as he flew after the others.

"Hope you have a speedy recovery." Lucy waved as she followed after the others leaving only Itachi, Mira and Erza in the room.

"…."

"…."

"…."

"They left me…." Itachi said as a wave of wind blew through the room.

"Now lay down and get some rest." Mira said and took the cloth of Itachi's forehead, put it in a bowl of water, twisted the towel and placed it back on his forehead.

"I read somewhere that if you're sick you'll need to drink a lot of water." Erza said as she grabbed a whole jug of water and forced the water down Itachi's mouth. "Are you feeling any better?! Is it working?!"

'At this rate they will be the ones that kill me…' Itachi thought with a sweat drop.

Unknown to either of them Laxus stood outside of the door, having heard everything he simply had a large grin on his face. 'This is perfect. With Itachi out of commission, I have the perfect opportunity to take over Fairy Tail. Time to assemble the crew.' Laxus thought before he vanished in a flash of lightning.

On the top of a hill, just outside of Magnolia

Laxus's little crew The Thunder God Tribe. Which consisted of Freed, Evergreen and Bickslow were standing on the hilltop when suddenly a thunder bolt struck in front of them. When the dust cleared it revealed Laxus. "Get ready, we have the perfect opportunity here." Laxus said with a smirk.

"What do you mean, Laxus?" Freed questioned.

Laxus then let out a chuckle. "Itachi seems to have gotten a deadly illness and he is out of commission. With him out of the picture there is nothing that can stand in my way! Fairy Tail will be mine! The Gramps's era is over!" Laxus said as lightning flickered around him.

"So Itachi will die then?" Bickslow questioned.

"No, once I become master I will make his recovery a first priority. After all there is no way I'm letting a powerful addition to my guild die!" Laxus declared. "That is… if he swears to bow to me." Laxus snickered.

A few days later

Itachi laid in his bed as both Mira and Erza had taken shifts to watch him, he hasn't been able to get out of the room. The most activity he has gotten was throwing shurikens at dart boards. While as outside the whole town was in a festive mood, he could smell the delicious food out there, it didn't help much as it was a dango stand not too far away from his window. "M-Mira, could you get me some dango, please?" Itachi begged as he looked out the window and saw the dango stand with all those delicious dango being made, Itachi had some drool dripping from his mouth.

"No can do, if you're going to get better you will need to eat only healthy food. So, no sweets." Mira said as her words were crushing Itachi's spirit.

"It's not fair…" Itachi said as he was close to almost growing tears in his eyes. "This is torture…torture I tell you…"

"I brought you a sandwich." Mira said and placed the plate with the sandwich on the nightstand next to Itachi.

"My dango, oh my sweet dango. I promise we will be reunited again." Itachi sang as Mira closed the curtains on the window.

"There out of sight out of mind." Mira said.

Lately she hasn't been very cheerful as she used to be. She's so worried about Itachi that she takes everything so seriously. When Erza has her shifts Mira helps down at the bar a little then she makes some food for the sick Uchiha and once the food is finished she instantly takes her shift to watch over Itachi, despite Erza's protests making it so that sometimes they are both watching him. "You know, just because I'm sick doesn't mean you have to change your attitude so much. I miss seeing your happy friendly smile." Itachi said as he had gained his serious Uchiha expression back.

"Well, this is no time to be happy… The person I admire the most is on his death bed after all." Mira said as her back was turned to Itachi, but Itachi still noticed a few drops of tears that fell on to the floor.

"…." Itachi got silent as he looked up at the ceiling. "Death is only a natural part of life, nothing lasts forever. It may be sad but sometimes that's just how things are. Besides like you and Erza said there is still hope, I may be dying but I'm still nowhere near to my death bed just yet." Itachi said with a comforting smile. "I promised you after all, I will not let anything kill me, that includes this sickness." Itachi said as Mira was a little surprised to hear the promise she made him make after Lisanna died.

"Itachi… I…I…" Mira muttered as she ran up to him and embraced him in a hug.

Itachi smiled and began stroking her hair. "Everything will be fine, don't you worry."

"Itachi… I-I love-" Mira muttered as cheers were heard from outside.

"Hm? What was that?" Itachi questioned as he didn't hear her over the festival outside.

"N-Nothing!" Mira said with a blush on her face. 'I love you.' Mira thought as she tightens her embrace in the hug.

"Oh, that's right aren't you supposed to be in the Miss Fairy Tail contest thing? Shouldn't you get ready?" Itachi asked.

"No, I'm not going to enter. I will stay here with you." Mira replied.

"I would hate for you to miss out on the fun, so just go and have a good time. Don't worry about me." Itachi said.

"No, I've made up my mind, I'm staying here." Mira declared.

"So am I." Erza said as she entered the room.

"Not you to, just go and have fun at the festival please." Itachi begged both of them.

"Since you're sick I'm staying right here!" Erza said and sat down on a chair filled with determination.

Itachi sighed, then he got an idea. "What a shame… I was hoping my dearest cutest little sister would win the miss Fairy Tail contest for her Onii-chan. Ah, such a shame. I was going to cheer you on from here and everything." Itachi said with a sigh as he had his eyes closed, he then peeked with his right eye to see Erza having a small blush.

"Well then I'm off to win the contest!" Erza declared and went back down stairs. Once she was gone Itachi let out an amused chuckle.

"She's so easy to manipulate sometimes I just feel horrible for doing it." Itachi chuckled. Mira looked at Itachi's happy face and couldn't help but to smile herself.

The main hall

Several people were gathered around the stage awaiting the Miss Fairy Tail Contest to begin. "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! Our fairy beauty pageant, the Miss Fairy Tail Contest, is about to begin!" The announcer being Max who had shirt light brown hair cut in a bowl-cut, as he was wearing a purple suit and a large red bowtie. "I, the sand wizard Max, will be your host today!" Max said as cheers around the room was heard.

Natsu, Gray, Happy and Elfman sat on a table. "Why would you be interested in this?" Gray questioned looking at the fire dragon slayer.

"He's a man!" Elfman said his usual catchphrase.

"Entry nr.1! An exotic beauty with an otherworldly stomach! Cana Alberona!" Max introduced the guilds nr.1 drinker Cana who was posing in her casual outfit, with her top only being a blue bikini. "Now she'll use her magic to appeal to the audience!" Max said as Cana brought out some cards that turned into multiple cards that fell around her body concealing it. "Oh! The cards are concealing her body…! And she's changed into a swimsuit!" When the cards cleared it revealed Cana in a swimsuit which was a bikini with orange and green stripes, as she was doing a sexy pose.

"The drinking money is as good as mine!" Cana declared.

"A swimsuit? That's not fair." Lucy said as she popped her head out from behind the stage curtain.

"Clever. Why didn't I think of that?" Erza popped her head out from behind the stage curtain as well.

"You're in the contest too, Erza?!" Lucy questioned.

"Yeah, I'm going to win this for Onii-chan. Anyone who gets in my way will meet their end by my blade." Erza said as her expression darkened making Lucy sweat nervously out of fear.

"Entry nr.2! Although she's a newcomer, she has S-class abilities! The breathtaking beauty of precipitation… Juvia Lockser!"

'May these feelings reach my dear Gray-sama…!' Juvia thought as she bought out some water from her body and the stage behind her looked like a tropical area with palm trees. And she had changed into a swimsuit as well.

"Oh, she created the perfect scenery for a swimsuit!" Max said and the crowd cheered.

"Are you watching, my dear Gray-sama?!" Juvia said.

"Another use of sex appeal?!" Lucy questioned as she was a little angry at the fact that her winning chances are dropping by the minuet.

"Entry nr.3! This Titania needs no explanation!" Max said.

"I'm up!" Erza leaped to the stage.

"Erza Scarlet!"

"All right!" Someone from the crowd cheered.

"She's so cool!"

"The strongest woman in Fairy Tail!"

"Allow me to demonstrate a very special requip… But first…where's my Onii-chan's cheer?!" Erza questioned.

"Yay, go Erza, fight." An emotionless cheer came from the medical room.

Erza then smiled and requiped into a Goth-loli outfit. "The contest is over." Erza said with confidence as several people had hearts in their eyes.

"Yay, way to go Erza." Itachi's emotionless cheer came from the medical room. Making Erza gain a smile of accomplishment.

"Entry nr.4! A petite fairy with cuteness and intelligence… Levy McGarden!" Max introduced us to the smartest girl in Fairy Tail.

""Levy!"" Jet and Droy cheered in unison.

"Solid Script!" Levy chanted as she formed words in the air made out of what the words were, as she gave a cute smile to the audience.

""Levy!"" Jet and Droy cheered in unison.

"Entry nr.5! The sexy sniper, Bisca Mulan!" Max introduced Bisca who were in her swimsuit.

She held four coins with heart marks in them and threw them in a straight line in the air. "Requip!" She brought out a sniper rifle. "The Gunner!" She shoot straight through the heart marks of the coins with one shoot. "Yee-haw!"

"S-So cute." Alzack commented with hearts in his eyes.

"Entry nr.6! Our super rookie! Her celestial spirits guide the dazzling light she gives off! Lucy He-"

"Ack! Don't say my last name!" Lucy interrupted Max's introduction.

"Whoa…"

"She's cute!"

"Okay! Now for your appeal time!" Max said.

"Umm, my celestial spirits and I will now perform a cheer!" Lucy said as she brought out some pompons.

"Entry nr.7!" The voice of a girl was heard.

"H-Hold on! I still haven't done my thing yet!" Lucy complained.

"I am the definition of a fairy. I am the definition of beauty. Yes… I am the definition of everything. This victory…goes to me, Evergreen! Okay this ridiculous contest is now over!" Evergreen declared having entered the stage.

"Wha…?!" Lucy questioned.

"Evergreen!" Gray said in shock.

"She's back?" Elfman said.

"Hold on! Could you please stay out of this?! My very livelihood is at stake here!" Lucy said as she stood now next to Evergreen.

"Lucy! Don't look at her eyes!" Gray warned.

"Who's this brat?" Evergreen questioned as she tilted her glasses upwards looking at Lucy as her eyes glowed. And suddenly Lucy turned to stone.

"Wh-What?! Stone?!"

"Is that her appeal?!"

"This is bad! Everyone run for your lives!" Max said as everyone besides Fairy Tail wizards ran outside.

"What do you think you're doing, Evergreen?! Are you trying to spoil the festival?!" Makarov questioned angered.

Evergreen let out a small chuckle as the curtain behind her on the stage got lifted up. "All festivals need some sort of entertainment." Evergreen said as all the contestants had turned to stone.

"You fool! Turn them back this instant!" Makarov demanded when a bolt of lightning hit the stage.

"Hey there, you Fairy Tail losers. The festival is just getting started!" Laxus said having a crazed grin on his face.

"Laxus!" Makarov said.

Gray looked around and spotted two others. "Freed! Bickslow too!"

"The Thunder God Tribe?!" Macao said.

"They're Laxus's bodyguards!" Wakaba said.

"Let's play, old man!" Laxus said with a smirk.

"Cease this nonsense! Turn them back at once!" Makarov demanded.

Laxus just smirked at his grandfather's threats. "Just how many of them will survive until the Fantasia parade?" Laxus said as a bolt of lightning appeared above the petrified Lucy.

"Stop!" Makarov demanded as a lightning bolt struck down next to Lucy.

Laxus placed his arm around Lucy. "I'm taking these girls hostage. Break the rules and they'll shatter one by one. Like she said, this is entertainment."

"I've had enough of your jokes, Laxus!" Makarov said.

"I'm completely serious." Laxus said.

Freed then jumped down to the stage. "Let's find out who the strongest member of Fairy Tail really is."

Bickslow then jumped down as well. "Let's have some fun!"

"You coward! You attack when the one person who's way stronger then you is sick!" Gray shouted.

"Heh, he's free to participate if he wants to. The question is can he even stand now?!" Laxus said and let out a laugh. "The rules are simple. Whoever's still standing at the end wins. A battle of Fairy Tail!"

Natsu slammed his fist to the table. "Sounds good to me. Nice and simple. I'm all fired up!"

"I like that rarin'-to-go side of you." Laxus said.

"Natsu!" Makarov said.

"This is a festival, Gramps. I'm in!" Natsu declared.

"Have you forgotten that Laxus already beat you before?!" A man named Warren warned he had dark hair and thick lips, he wore some sort of red orange tracksuit.

"I was a kid back then!" Natsu said.

"It was just last year!" Warren said.

"I was a kid last year!" Natsu argued and charged at Laxus.

"But what I don't like is how trite you are. Just take it easy." Laxus said as Natsu was stuck by a bolt of lightning.

"Natsu!" Gray shouted.

"See?!" Warren said as facepalmed himself.

"He's a real man." Elfman said.

Natsu then fell down to the floor knocked out. "If you want to turn these girls back to normal, you will have to defeat us first." Evergreen said.

"There's four of us, and close to a hundred of you!" Bickslow said with a laugh as the wooden dolls floating around him chanted. "Of you! Of you!"

"You have three hours. Take any longer and these girls will turn into sand." Evergreen informed.

"All of Magnolia will serve as the battlefield. Once you find us the battle begins." Laxus said.

"Laxus…!" Makarov grunted in anger. "I've had enough of this!" Makarov grew into a giant.

However, Laxus didn't seem to care as he just smirked. "I told you before—just simmer down. It's entertainment for the festival. Let's enjoy it! Let the battle of Fairy Tail begin!" Laxus said as he and The Thunder God Tribe vanished in a flash of light.

"H-He disappeared!" Wakaba said.

"He wants to play tag throughout Magnolia?!" Macao said.

"Damn! We have to save them!" Elfman said as he and the rest of them ran outside. Leaving Makarov, Natsu, Happy, Gray in the room. Gray later followed the others.

"That fool…! I'll stop him myself!" Makarov declared and ran towards the exit, but he was stopped by some invisible wall.

"Gramps!" Gray ran back to Makarov.

"An invisible wall!" Makarov said as he struggled to go outside.

"What? There's no wall!" Gray said as he picked the master up and tried to pull him outside, but to no avail. "What's going on?!" Gray questioned as he spotted something above him. "What is that? There's writing in the air…"

"One of Freed's enchantments?!" Makarov questioned.

"Enchantment?" Gray questioned.

"One of Freed's abilities, once you step inside an enchanted area you have to obey it's rules, and the only way out is to obey those rules. It's establishment magic." Makarov informed.

"Well, what does it say?" Gray questioned.

"Exit is forbidden to stone statues and those over the age of 80." Makarov replied.

"Sounds like whoever writes the rules automatically wins." Gray said.

"It takes time to write an enchantment. As such, it isn't suited for quick-paced combat but commands tremendous power as a trap." Makarov explained.

"So you can't break it, Gramps?!" Gray questioned.

"Enchantment rules are absolute!" Makarov replied.

"Man. Talk about being meticulous. Guess there's no choice, we'll have to take care of him ourselves." Gray said.

"Gray…"

"I won't show mercy, even if he's your grandson. Laxus is going down!" Gray said with a cold expression and ran off.

'Is there anyone who can defeat Laxus besides Itachi? It's possible that Erza could… But in her current state…' Makarov thought as he spotted someone hiding behind a pillar. "Who's there?!" Makarov looked and spotted Reedus. "Oh, it's you, Reedus!"

"I-I'm scared of Laxus…" Reedus said.

"That's all right. Go visit Porlyusica in the East Forest instead." Makarov ordered.

"Oui…"

"She may have a remedy for petrification. And she might have some of Itachi's medicine ready." Makarov said.

"Oui!"

Natsu then woke up screaming. "You're awake!" Happy said.

"Huh?! Where's Laxus?! Wait…everyone's gone!" Natsu looked around in confusion.

'If he got serious, it's possible that Natsu could…' Makarov thought.

"Gramps! Where did everyone go?!" Natsu questioned.

'I guess I can place my hopes in his latent abilities…' Makarov thought. "Natsu! The festival has begun! Laxus is in Magnolia! Go defeat him!"

"All right!" Natsu yelled. "I'm comin' for you, Lax-!" Natsu ran towards the exit but crashed in the barrier.

""What?!"" Makarov, Happy and Reedus questioned in unison.

"How come…?" Natsu questioned.

"How can this be?! Natsu! Are you 80 years old?! Are you a stone statue?!" Makarov questioned with wide eyes of shock.

"Don't look at me!" Natsu said as the writing on the barrier changed.

"Status update… Hmm? Jet versus Droy versus Alzack?" Makarov read the writing. "Wh-What in heavens?!"

"Why are they fighting?!" Natsu questioned.

"Alzack wins. Jet and Droy KO'd…" Makarov read.

"What?!" Natsu questioned. "The hell with this, Laxus!"
