Apr 19, 2013 Fairy Tail's OST Vol.2 - 27 Tower of Heaven.
Mortis laughed in triumph as she ran away from her team, on the hot beach. 'Losers!' she laughed. She had single headedly beaten them at ball and Natsu was ready for revenge. She jumped in the sea and dived under the sea. 'No fair! Cats hate water!' happy whined as he stayed on the beach. 'Ow sand hot hot hot' he shouted, hopping. The group laughed as they splashed water at each other.
Happy jumped for joy when the other came back to the sand. Natsu started to dig a hole as Erza and Mortis enjoyed a cocktail. Gray had fallen asleep. Mortis giggle as she covered his body in the sand and turned him into a mermaid with an over-exaggerated chest. She stood up when she was finished and laughed quietly. Erza stood next to her and looked down. 'I must say, you're very talented' she smiled. 'Thanks. I used to teach myself art as a child' Mortis explained.
Gray soon woke up and looked down at himself. He smiled nodded as he said 'nice!' The girls laughed at his stupidity. Mortis was suddenly hit in the face with a load of sand, ruining her cocktail. 'Dig Natsu find the treasure!' Happy screamed. 'Aye aye captain!' Natsu screamed.
'Hey!' Mortis snapped. 'What?!' They heard Natsu shout. His voice was a distant echo. The other three couldn't see how far down he had dug his hole. 'Natsu you idiot. How are you going to climb out?!' Gray shouted. 'I didn't think that far ahead!'
'Do you ever!' Mortis shouted. They heard him scream and the bottom of the hole light up. 'Everyone move!' Gray screamed. The group and everyone around ran out of the way as the hole exploded and Natsu shot up, covered in fire. Mortis stood on the edge of the crowd as the team screamed at his stupidity and the other people yelling at him. She smiled as the sight. She was having fun and enjoying herself. Being normal, hanging out with her friends, secretly flirting with her boyfriend.
She looked out to the sea. The sun was starting to set. She knew it was only a few hours before they would be heading out to the tower of heaven. She looked back at her friends and considered what her next move should be. What was her move? What was her objective? Save Simon? Stop Jellal in time before the magic council fire the etherion canon?
'Give me back my shorts NATSU!' She looked back to see Gray using Happy to hide his privates. She laughed and joined her friends.
A couple of hours later, Mortis and Erza were in their shared hotel room. 'Erza, I'm not too sure about this' Mortis shouted from the bathroom. 'Let me see' she laughed. 'Ok' Mortis, unconfidently. She walked out of the bathroom, with a shorts skirt blue dress. Her short hair was long enough to be tied with a tiny ponytail. She wore her golden celestial gate key as a necklace.
Erza smiled as she said 'you look amazing.' Mortis's leg wiggled as she said 'it's not my thing the whole dress thing' Erza looked back in the mirror staring at her long red dress. 'I find the fashion very desirable' she admitted. 'You a very good looking women, I'm more of a tomboy' Mortis admitted. 'Tomboy?' Erza asked, confused. Crap? Mortis panicked. 'Where I come from, that means a girl prefers to wear boy clothes and doesn't show their femininity' she explained. 'That explains your normal clothing' Erza said. Mortis looked over at her white shorts and black vest folded on the bed. 'I gues you have a point' she laughed. 'We should go meet the boys soon, I'm worried they'll start to fight each other and destroy the casino' Erza said. Mortis started to panic.
Mortis went into her bathroom. She looked in the mirror undecided on what she should do. Previously she had decided to try and stay with her teammate, but she was considering sneaking onto the boat that would take Erza away. A head-start might possibly work.
'Are you coming down to the casino Mortis?' she heard Erza ask. 'Yeah, I'll see you down there!' she shouted back. She heard Erza leave. She stared down in the sink, thinking. She didn't have a lot of time before the attack would happen. She walked out and was about to get changed back into her normal clothing to feel comfortable when there was a knock on the door. It was probable Gray, trying to get some alone time with her. She opened the door and immediately saw darkness surround her sight.
Gray and Erza sat at the bar. 'You have to admit it was quite amusing?' she laughed. 'I used Happy as a cover-up!' Gray argued. Erza laughed as they were approached. 'Excuse me?' They both turned around to see Juvia standing a blue dress wearing a massive Fairytail necklace. 'Hi, your one of the Phantom members, right?' Gray asked. 'Well I was, but now the Phantom guild has been disbanded by orders of the magic council. May I join you?' she asked.
'Of course' Erza smiled. 'I would like to apologise for the trouble I caused, during the battle' Juvia said. 'Please, water under the bridge' Erza smiled. 'I can't help but notice the necklace you are wearing?' 'Oh yes. I am hoping to join your guild' she explained. 'You would have to speak to the master. We have no issue with it' Gray said. 'Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. Your friend Mortis is quite a wizard. She spent the first part of our battle, trying to negotiate' she smiled. Erza smiled at the thought. She never knew Mortis attempted to talk things through rather than fight. She always seemed to be wanting to grow stronger in her magic.
'Where is she anyway?' Gray asked, looking around. 'She did say she was going to be down shortly' Erza said, looking around. 'It is possible she might have gone to bed already. We did have a lot of fun today on the beach.' 'Yes, you did' Juvia whispered, blushing.
The three suddenly turned around looking at Natsu and Happy cry at a slot machine while smashing it. 'Give me back my number!' Natsu screamed. 'Natsu!' Erza screamed, storming up to him.
In the corner far away were Simon, Sho, Wally and Milliana. 'Meow look at that cute blue kitty' she smiled, waving her arms frantically. 'Do we make our move?' Wally asked. 'The pink hair guy is kinda pissing me off.' They watched Erza start to play cards. 'We move now' Simon said.
'It must have been hard with Phantom being disbanded that like' Gray said. 'It was but now I'm a free wizard. Hopefully, I'll join Fairytail' Juvia explained. 'Gray Fullbuster?' They turned around and were immediately attacked. The bar was destroyed and Juvia laid hurt in the rubble. 'Juvia!' Gray shouted, worried. 'What do you think your doing, buddy!' 'Where is Erza!'

He was suddenly kicked to the side of the rubble. The dust settled and Mortis was revealed. She was knelt down, breathing deeply, with blood rubbing down her face from her head. She stood up, fists clenched, teeth gritted. 'Mortis!' Gray shouted, standing up. 'Big mistake child!' Simon growled. He stood up ready for another attack. 'Where is she?' he demanded. 'You think we would tell you?' Gray asked.
Suddenly water appeared, spinning in front of Gray, like a shield. Juvia appeared arms stretched, protecting him as she said 'I won't so much as let you lay a finger on my beloved! You'd have to go through me first!' 'Juvia' Gray cringed. He looked over at Mortis, feeling embarrassed. 'You both go! Erza will need your help. I feel she is in grave danger' she said. 'Your right' he said.
Simon suddenly raised his fingers to his head. 'You've located her? Ah, I see. I'll clear things up here then' he said. 'What's he doing?' Gray asked. 'Telepathy?' Mortis wondered. Suddenly everything went dark. 'What happened to the light?' Gray shouted. Mortis quickly created three ice replicas of the three and grabbed Juvia and Gray and ran off the hide. 'Keep quiet' she hissed. She jumped up to the ceiling with them and they all grabbed hold of the sides as the lights came back on. They watched the group take Natsu, Happy and Erza away, unconscious.
They waited until they were gone. Mortis saw everyone else was trapped in the cards. 'We need to come back for these people' she whispered. Gray and Juvia nodded. When the coast was clear, they jumped down and followed the group onto the boat. They snuck down to the bottom of the boat and laid low. 'Where are they taking them?' Juvia asked. 'No idea' Gray whispered. Mortis stayed silent as she ripped her black t-shirt in half. She created ice and used her fire to turn in into water, dampen the cloth and placed it on her cut on her head.
'What happened to you?' Gray asked, his blood boiling. 'I got attacked in mine and Erza's hotel room. They probably thought she was there' she explained. 'And they nocked you out?' Juvia asked. 'The brick guy shot at me, I dived out of the way just in time, but I flung myself straight into the wall knocking myself out' Mortis explained. 'My finest hour!' she smirked. 'You panicked' Juvia sympathised. 'So that cut on your head…' Gray asked. 'Was the bullet' Mortis answered.
'Why don't we just sink this boat and save Natsu, Erza and Happy now?' Juvia asked. 'We don't know where they are taking them. What's to say we sink this boat and there are more wizards to be sent to kidnap them' Gray explained. 'That's very clever thinking. I do apologise my love' Juvia blushed. Gray looked at Mortis, silently pleading for help on what to do with her. All Mortis could do was too still hold the cloth as she stuck her tongue at him.
High up in the Tower of heaven. Jellal watched the boat slowly become visible from the horizon. 'Erza Scarlett. My sacrifice. It's been many years. And Natsu Dragneel. The perfect bait for miss Draglilth. Finally, my plan is coming together.'
