80th Moment:
She was exhausted, covered in bruises and bandages, and off to the side as everyone partied. Too tired to join them. Ever since Laxus had left, she had slowly descended back into the shy girl she had been at a young age.
An outsider to even her own guild.
81st Moment:
It was on the trip home when Wendy saw her taking one of her pain killers. Gajeel had long since fallen asleep despite all the noise and madness being caused by the other members of their guild. "Are you ok?" the small girl asked. Gladiola just looked up and sighed "Yeah, banged up my arms pretty bad a while back,"
"Would you like me to take a look?"
82nd Moment:
Gladiola Dreyar had long since given up hope. She had accepted the pains and shakes in her arms since her fight with Aria.
Yet Wendy brought that hope back.
83rd Moment:
Gajeel was loud, Gladiola was quiet and Wendy, weirdly enough, fit well into their dynamic. Didn't take long for Team Inferno went from a duo to a trio
84th Moment:
Wendy was a perfect addition to Inferno. Between Gajeel's aimed metal and Gladiola's landmine spells, they could box in dark guild after dark guild, and then Wendy's roar would knock them out, keeping collateral damage at a low (meaning more money for them.)
85th Moment:
Gladiola and Wendy breaking into his apartment was also pretty normal. The two girls liked sitting around in his apartment and making sure it was habitable (apparently it was too messy)... It was nice… having a family.
86th Moment:
Guildarts return to guild was full of exuberance and excitement. He was surprised to see Gladiola in a team with two newcomers. The trio was full of a good calm, the two girls keeping the loud, pierced dragon slayer calm. They ignored Natsu and his attempts at getting the man into a fight.
"How you doing Gladi?"
"I'm… doing ok."
87th Moment:
It was funny watching Gajeel run around trying to convince a stray cat into becoming his partner. "Mou~ Gajeel, I thought I was your partner?" Gladiola teased
"Shut up!" he told her, as they walked away from Happy who had asked about the scratches that covered him. Wendy had long since gone off to do her own thing, despite the rain.
He kept walking as he kept listening to her steps. Until suddenly… he heard her call out "Gajeel… What's happening to me?" Turning around, he saw her standing in the middle of the road staring at her hands. Her skin was glowing as she watched on in fear as her body began to lose its solidity.
"Gajeel," she began as he ran toward her "Help me…" she added before she became a glowing liquid that shot up into the sky as his hand barely missed her.
88th Moment:
When she next woke up, Gajeel was standing over with Erza and Gray running off. Helping her up to her feet, he passed her a small ball. "Take this, you'll be able to use magic,"
"What-"
"Trust me!" he said
Pausing, she swallowed the pill dry."Common," he told her, pulling her down the corridor "Let's start some chaos"
89th Moment:
The two were fighting off guards as Happy swooped in and grabbed Gajeel who grabbed Gladiola and they flew up to the Lacrima. Just as the dragon slayer was about to free their guild, A humanoid exceed flew in and tried to attack them.
The two went off into battle as Gladiola blew up debris that flew toward the Lacrima.
She had resolved to stay out of the fight The same way that Gajeel let her do her own thing when she needed to let loose. And considering how destructive her magic was, it was probably for the best.
90th Moment:
She couldn't help but sigh when Gajeel roared "Oi! Gladi! I'll make this guy my cat!"
"You idiot, why do you have such a one track mind?!"
91st Moment:
Gladiola was so lost. There was a warrior exceed, then a huge fleet of Exceed and then the Lacrima disappear. Even though she had no idea what was even happening, she wasn't t bothered. A perk of growing up in Fairy Tail perhaps…
92nd Moment:
She blew up part of a dragon. Not something she ever thought she would say, but yeah… She got a leg. Even though the robot was immune to magic, the surrounding air wasn't.
Blast pressure has two stages. First stage, a blast wave generated by an explosion starts with a single pulse of increased air pressure, lasting a few milliseconds going outward, resulting in a vacuum at the center.. Second stage, Vacuum pulls everything back inside immediately after.
Not even the dragon leg was safe from that. She had to use an exact amount or risk everyone else getting pulled inside as well or not have the leg sucked in at all. Sighing, she got to her feet with her knees shaking. Gajeel helped her stand up straight "Keep the soldiers busy, yeah?"
"Yeah."
93rd Moment:
They saved everyone. And Edolas was happy thanks to the play they put on where the dragon slayers was evil (which was quite adorable, if she had to say so). Then they were going… home? Yeah... they were going home.
