"Get up,"
"I-I can't,"
"Get up,"
"But I can't! It hurts too much,"
"Get UP!"
"Y-Yes, father.."
"You fool! Weakling, trash, idiot! Get up on your feet now."
Minerva cried as she held her legs close to her chest, "It hurts.." she whimpered as she felt her body burn. Her eyes bulged as her father kicked her hard in the ribs.
"I told you to get up! You must become stronger."
She mumbled something along the lines, "Aren't I strong enough? I have been training everyday non-stop for 3 years,"
"You are not strong enough. Now get back on your feet and listen to me."
The child got up on her knees, flinching as her body flared in pain from the movement. Unable to withstand it, she collapsed.
"Minerva! You're falling. At this rate, you will never be strong."
She did nothing but curl up into a tight ball and cry.
"Pathetic trash. You do not deserve to be my daughter."
And with that, her so called father walked away without a second glance.
"Faster!"
"O-Okay, I mean yes father!" Minerva called back as she aimed to punch her father in the gut. He caught her hand easily and sent her flying and crashing into a nearby tree.
"Faster! You need to be faster than the wind."
"Yes father!" she said and staggered back up, running towards him with a newfound determination. She punched him in the chest only to get flying again.
"Stronger, Minerva! Your first and only attack must send your opponent unconcious,"
"Yes!" The teenager replied, swinging her leg at him to get the same result. Her eyes widened as she heard a crack sound from her right arm. On instinct, she clutched the broken arm, "I-I think I broke my arm!"
"Nonsense! Get back up. There is no time for excuses."
Minerva did so, ignoring the burning pain in her arm, "Yes father!"
Minerva gasped as she saw Erza requip into Nakagami. The armor that was not worn for 10 years. She bit her lip and kept her pride.
"How pathetic!" she screamed forming a ball of magic in her hands.
"Absolutely pathetic!"
Erza remained unfazed, "This is the end," she said firmly.
"Vanish!" Minerva cried out as she unleashed her magic, her strongest spell known to make anything disappear from the face of the Earth.
The redhead's eyes narrowed as she swung her sword, brushing aside the blast.
Minerva's mouth dropped in shock, "Eh?" She just cut through my magic!
She dropped her arms to her side, "I-Impossible! How can you have so much magic left?"
Erza narrowed her eyes, "You hurt too many people I care for,"
"No! Stop it!" she screamed stepping back.
"This is the reward," Erza clutched her sword.
"Stop! I-I!" Minerva brought her hands to her face in fear and was interrupted.
Erza dashed forward, swinging her weapon, "Nakagami-Starlight!" she screeched and knocked over Minerva in a single hit.
Minerva's eyes widened as tears leapt to her eyes. Her battered and bruised body fell, her head hitting the ground first. She fell onto her stomach and rolled onto her side.
"I lost..." she whispered in defeat and placed her bloodied fingers over her eyes.
She had failed Sabertooth.
"I'm so sorry.."
fin.
Author's Corner - Sorry, I suck at fighting scenes. Anyways, I feel so bad for Minerva because she's my favorite character. :( Even more than Lucy! O_O How is that possible?!
