Laxus was trading blows with the invisible mage. It was hard to tell who was winning, but judging from the smoke and smell of singed skin, Gajeel guessed it was the lightning mage. Laxus was grinning as he fought. "What's the matter, getting slower?" he taunted the veiled mage as he continued his assault.
Lunging forward, Gajeel narrowly dodged the demon's attack as he slashed with his sword arm. He wasn't very concerned about losing, it sounded like the fight was going in their favor. His sword nearly sliced Vesh in two, but the demon form sidestepped as he drove a counter attack. Gajeel parried lazily as the two continued their dance.
"Eekh!" The yelp froze the blood in Gajeel's veins. His head whipped to the side just in time to see Levy clutch her arm as a streak of lava made contact with her skin. Anger boiled up inside him as he distractedly deflected another blow from Vesh.
"Hmmf," he heard a chuckle from the demon. Levy was moving again, keeping the obsidian mage at bay. "Isn't that interesting," Vesh mused. Something about his tone set Gajeel on edge. He whirled back to strike at the take over mage again, but froze as he found him a demon no longer. Staring back at him was a cute, blue haired mage half his height.
"Wha-," his arm hesitated. He couldn't. It was her.
"Tee hee," the solid script mage imposter giggled, "Oh yes, this seems effective." Gajeel stood there, unmoving, as the small figure leapt forward, words forming on her lips, "Solid Scr-"
"Solid Script: Bullet!" he heard from behind him as a barrage of slugs flew past him, blasting the fake little bluenette in the chest. Shock crossed the beautiful face as she sank to her knees, distorting back to Vesh's true self. Twisting around, he saw Levy with her arms out toward the counterfeit mage. He also saw that her attack on Vesh left her with her back to Moldark, who was just about to send a blitz of lava her way. She couldn't attack Vesh and dodge Moldark at the same time. She had sacrificed her defense to.. save him?
His club shot from his arm over the shoulder of his mate, who gasped as it brushed past her ear. It slammed into the body behind her, crashing the obsidian mage into the wall. Levy looked over her shoulder to the battered mage as she heard Gajeel approach. Delicately, but with a stern face, he lifted her arm to inspect her burn.
They both turned as they heard a final groan from the other side of the room. Juvia stood above the puppet mage as her water whip recoiled.
"Wait, I know you. You're that girl from Elemental Four," Semias said with a rueful look on his face.
"No. Juvia is from Fairy Tail," Juvia said stiffly. With one final lash of her Water Cane, the puppet mage was finished.
"Juvia's body is for Gray-sama. Tch," she said as she turned to join the others.
Cana rose from on top of Rhysenn and wiped her hands on her pants. She raised her hand to her neck to touch the nic that Rhysenn had left as a parting gift. Bitch, Cana thought bitterly.
Gajeel dropped his hand as they approached. Laxus tilted his head up as he listened, "We should get moving, it sounds like they have a handful up there."
"Ice Make: Crescent Blades!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Ice and fire hit the onslaught of attackers. Gray caught his breath as he heard Natsu puffing to his right. They had been fighting for what seemed like ages. Wave after wave of the dead came from the void below the smug dark mage. Fighting them was easy enough, but there were so many, and they were running out of magic. He looked over at Natsu, who was starting to slow down.
"What, that all you got Flame Brain? Ice Make: Ice Impact!" A hammer appeared in the air and slammed down onto the next group of mages. More were already crawling out of the hole. He knew Natsu had an endless amount of fight in him, if he could just goad it out of him.
"What? You think I'd quit before you? Tch. Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" he bellowed again.
Gray pushed on.
BOOM.
The room rocked as the wall behind them exploded, rocks flying everywhere. At first Gray looked to Natsu, but he looked just as confused. A menacing, shadowy figure slowly stepped through where the wall once was.
This is not something I have time for, thought Gray. They were already getting winded and they still would have Rolonov to deal with in the end. He wasn't interested in a third opponent right now. Where the hell was the rest of the guild?
As the encroaching figure found the light, Gray noticed a familiar red shade of hair.
"Erza!" Natsu and Gray both called out in shock and relief.
She didn't look at either of them as her gaze found Rolonov. "Is it he who has Lucy?" she said shortly.
"Lucy's with Loke, but he's responsible for keeping her here," Natsu growled between Roars.
"We could use a hand, Erza," Gray grunted as he sent another icey blow across the room, "We can't touch him until we finish off all these spirits. We don't know how many there are."
She nodded, but didn't move. The scarlet mage was a fearsome sight. Unlike Natsu and Gray's outbursts, her anger was silent and disquieting. Every movement was calculated.
"What is this, another one of your ranks wants to challenge me?" Rolonov asked, raising his head in interest.
Erza said nothing as her red rune appeared beneath her. Bladed wings sprung from her shoulders, a sword appeared in each hand. Plated armor covered her chest and waist as she requipped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor.
"Bring them," was all she said.
"What are you talking about?" Rolonov asked apprehensively.
"All of them. In the name of Fairy Tail, I challenge all of them. Bring forth your numbers. I promise your punishment will be swift once they are defeated."
Gray smiled to himself as he blasted another shadow. That was Erza.
"So be it, but you are just hastening your own peril. It means nothing to me, you will face the same end either way." He closed his eyes, the floor around the void breaking away as it started to grow. Natsu and Gray backed away, but Erza didn't move as the blackness spread.
"Erza," Natsu cautioned.
Shadows started to pour forth from the pit in massive numbers. Suddenly, swords started to appear in the air around Erza. Her body grew stiff as she summoned her magic to bring forth her arsenal of weapons. Recognition flickered in Gray's mind. Erza had used this during the Battle of Fairy Tail. She was going to take them all out at once.
"Ice Make…"
"Fire Dragon's.."
"Go, my swords!"
Chaos erupted as their attacks laid siege to the undead spirits at once. The room lit up with cracks of ice and bursts of flame, souls erupting as 200 swords flew forth to meet them. Gray watched their numbers fall, unsure if it would be enough, when suddenly the room exploded again. Lightning, iron, water, cards, and thunder burst forth, battering the army of souls.
Shadows fell as the assault overwhelmed their numbers. The void recoiled beneath the dark mage, closing upon itself.
"Impossible!" Rolonov yelled in disbelief. "This strength.. all for some worthless girl?"
The roars from Natsu and Gray were deafening.
"Ice Make: Ice Cannon!" "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" the two mages, different as night and day, attacked as one. Ice and fire twisted and turned, combining into one strong attack that slammed into the dark mage with a force that sent him crashing through the wall behind him.
Levy gasped, "Natsu and Gray.. a unison raid?"
"They must have something in common that is very important to the both of them," Erza said quietly.
Her breaths were quiet as she rested, which was music to Loke's ears. He lounged on the couch across from her with a book, watching her sleep more than reading. She needed the peace after today, and so did he to be honest. He wasn't one to doubt Fairy Tail, but time had almost ran out for Lucy. His lips tightened, she had been through so much pain today. It was his duty, his contract, to protect her and he failed. He owed her his life. He would always spend it looking after hers. Our hearts may be a world away, but I will always come for you, Lucy.
A soft knock at the door brought him from his thoughts. He closed his book quietly as he rose. The door cracked open and Virgo's head peaked in. Loke shook his head as she retreated and he followed her, closing the door behind him.
"They're all here, you know. They want to see her," Virgo said as she motioned down the hallway. He knew who she meant. All of her spirits had been anxious to see her since Lucy had been freed and brought to the Celestial Realm.
"She needs the rest, Virgo. We can't take that from her," he said firmly. If he could avoid forcing them to listen by using his position as their leader, he would.
"They brought things with them. Would you at least let them bring them to her, quietly? It's not just for her you know, they need it too." she said quietly.
His eyebrows furrowed as he debated, but he knew the answer. "Mm," he nodded as he turned back to his room.
One by one, they came. Soberly checking on their celestial mage.
