Chapter 22 Fifteen Minutes

"Everyone, get down!!!!!"

As Erza screamed this, her and the rest of the guild felt a strong amount of magic power being released from Phantom's headquarters. As they looked ahead, they saw a cannon emerging from the center of the mobile headquarters aimed at them as it was charging up magical power.

"I won't let you take down our guild!!!!!!!"

As Erza said this, she used her Requip magic to adorn a large, blue and navy colored armor. The breastplate is composed of different plates joined together, with four, prominent tube-like ornaments on the front, right above her breasts, below the high armored collar. The shoulder pads are very large and sport prominent plates shaped like spikes, protruding from a far darker part which composes the base of the structure.

The armor is completed by a helmet which covers the top and the sides of Erza's face, leaving the back part of her head exposed, and sporting prominent spikes jutting outwards. This was her Adamantine Armor, her strongest armor in terms of defense. Her guild members couldn't believe it. She wasn't actually planning on stopping Jupiter by herself, was she?

"Erza!!!!!!!!"

"Natsu! We have no other option! All we can do is have faith in Erza!!!!!"

As Natsu was getting ready to stop Erza, Gray was forced to hold him down. While he understands how Natsu feels, it was either this or everyone getting killed. Soon the magic power being emitted by the cannon was suffocating. After a few seconds, the cannon fired a large compressed beam of magical power.

As the blast from the cannon connected with the defense of Erza's armor, all the Fairy Tail members felt a huge gust of wind threatening to sent them flying as the cannon's attack clashed with Erza's defense. Soon cracks began to form on Erza's armor. As this happened, Natsu screamed out in worry.

"Erza!!!!!!!"

"I will not allow the guild to fall here!!!!!!! And we will never give up Lucy to you, because she's a member of Fairy Tail!!!!!!"

Soon the gust of wind vanished as dust filled the air. When the dust cleared, the Fairy Tail guild hall was still standing. However, the guild members looked in horror with what they saw afterwards. With her armor destroyed, Erza was sent flying backwards. It appears that defending the guild from Jupiter's blast did more damage to her than she could imagine. However, just as she braced herself for impact, she heard a single voice.

"I'm sorry I kept you all waiting."

Silence. Silence was present as all the members of Fairy Tail witnessed this. The impact of Erza's body hitting the ground never occured. Her screams of pain from said impact never occured. All of this was possible because a single person caught her.

"A lot has happened since I was out of commission. Don't worry....i'll fight hard to make up for it Erza. You get some rest."

"Is that you.....Homura?"

While in his arms, Erza looked at Homura. He was so calm and collected, it almost felt as if she was looking at another person. As Homura placed her feet on the ground, Erza got out of his arms but fell down towards him as she was in pain. While this happened, Homura and his comrades heard Jose speaking to them through a communication lacrima.

"After Makarov, now Erza Scarlet is unable to battle too. You lack the power to defeat us, Fairy Tail. Hand over, Lucy Heartfilia at once."

All of the members of Fairy Tail were raging and refusing the offer to hand over Lucy. While this happened, Homura went inside of the guild and placed Erza at a table. As he left, he looked towards the sky as he spoke up.

"We'd rather die than to give up our comrade. If we let her go out of mere convenience, we could never die enough to make up for that mistake."

"Our answer won't change no matter what!!!!!! We'll take you down!!!!!!!!!"

As Homura and Natsu said this, the entire guild yelled in agreement. While this happened, Lucy felt tears escaping out of her eyes. Soon Jose merely yelled in anger as Verde smirked at this situation.

"THEN WE'LL FIRE A BIGGER AND STRONGER BLAST FROM JUPITER!!!! Now struggle in this 15 minutes of terror until its reloaded!!!!!!"

As Jose said this, several figures leaped from Phantom Lord's mobile headquarters. They were heading for Fairy Tail at an incredible pace while the Jupiter was charging.

"You have two options Fairy Tail! Die by my soldiers or die by my Jupiter!!!"

"We're not as weak as you think. It'll take more than that to kill us."

As Homura said this, sixteen sticks of dynamite appeared above the soldiers that Jose sent out. Soon several explosions occured as the soldiers were caught in them. However, some of them managed to escape and were heading for Lucy until someone appeared in front of her and sliced them in two.

"I'll make you bastards pay for injuring the boss while I was recovering."

"Right? We can't let them hurt the rest of Homura's friends."

As Gokudera held dynamite in his hands, Yamamoto held a katana in his. They were on alert as they saw the soldiers they just defeated become whole again and continue their charge.

"Hmph. This is part of that loud herbivore's magic, right?"

"Then we'll just have to knock them out! To the limit!!!!!"

Soon Hibari and Ryohei stood next to Gokudera and Yamamoto as they were ready to fight the soldiers that Jose sent. While this happened, Lambo was now running up to Homura.

"Oi, Loser Homura. You better give Lambo-san something good after this!!!!"

"I promise to take you out for sweets. But now, i'll need your help, Lambo. Don't be afraid to use your secret weapon."

Soon Homura looked towards his friends. As the Fairy Tail guild looked at him, they didn't see the timid boy who couldn't defend himself. No, as Homura stood before them, he had an aura that made them feel like they could rely on him more.

"This is the plan! The Vongola team will help the Fairy Tail members keep their defenses up against Jose's shades. Natsu and I will try to destroy the Jupiter cannon. Gray, Elfman. You two will help us storm in and take down Phantom's members inside! Lambo will go along with Gray and Elfman. With Mister Makarov and Erza out of commission, we have only one option. FIGHT!!!!"

As soon as Homura said this, he ignited the X-gloves with dying will flames and fired them backwards, allowing him to fly towards Jupiter. Seeing this, Natsu smirked as he said one thing.

"Happy!!!!"

"Aye sir!!!!!"

Happy held Natsu as his wings appeared out of his back and he flew Natsu towards the Jupiter cannon with Homura. Seeing this, Elfman charged towards the base as Gray followed him as he carried Lambo. While this happened, Gray, Elfman, and Natsu shared a single thought.

"If this is your plan and you're seeing it through, then we'll do our part. We have faith in you, Homura!!!!!!"

On its last leg, Fairy Tail has gained some powerful allies. Phantom is now against Fairy Tail and Vongola. The real fight starts now.
