Chapter 2
Gray made a sword of ice and swung. Amelia jumped back.
"What is that supposed to mean?" asked Gray.
Amelia just laughed and said, "Exactly what it sounds like. The only reason we are here is to find you."
"Why?" asked Gray as he shot lances of ice towards the green haired woman.
"I can't answer that just yet," replied the lightning mage as she shot lightning out of her hand.
"Come back here!" yelled Natsu as he ran down the hallway, looking for the enemy. Suddenly he stopped and punched the wall with a flaming fist. The wall crumbled away to show an annoyed blonde sitting in a chair.
"Don't you know how to use a door?" Max asked gesturing at a closed door next to the giant hole in the wall.
"Haha! Who bothers with doors?" replied Natsu.
Natsu ignited his fists and leaped towards the man in the chair. He was two feet away when suddenly purple runes lit up under him and he slammed into a wall of runes.
Rule: Those who stray within this circle shall stay.
"You really are an idiot. Jumping into battle without thinking," said Max.
"You coward! Let me out of here right now!" yelled Natsu who was trying to force his way past the barrier.
Max just tsked and disappeared again. Natsu sniffed the air.
"RUNNING AWAY AGAIN?!" yelled Natsu, who was really annoyed now. He banged his fist against the invisible wall.
"When I get out of here, I'll beat him to a pulp!" yelled Natsu.
Crash!
"What was that?" asked Erza.
"Probably Natsu," replied Lucy.
"Aye!" said Happy.
"He better not have destroyed anything important," muttered Erza.
The three friends ran towards where the sounds came from. Then they heard yelling that sounded awfully familiar.
"Natsu?" called out Lucy.
"Lucy?" said Natsu.
"Wow, there's a hole in the wall," said Happy.
Lucy peered into the hole and saw Natsu standing in the middle of the room.
"Natsu, what are you doing?" she said as she started to enter the room.
"Wait! Stay away!" said Natsu.
Too late. Lucy was already inside the room when purple runes went up.
Rule: Those who stray within this circle shall stay.
"Crap, he set up another one," said Natsu.
"Huh? What just happened?" asked a confused Lucy.
"A jutsu shiki," said Erza who was still outside of the room with Happy, "the magic Freed uses."
"So the enemy can set up traps like Freed," said Happy.
"Natsu, what happened and where's Gray?" asked Erza.
"We found two enemies, but then they teleported away, so we split up to find them. I found one of them in here, but then this stupid wall came up and he teleported away."
"Do you know where Gray went?" asked Erza who was growing impatient.
"On the roof," said Natsu.
Erza instantly turned around and started walking away.
"Wait! Get us out first!" said Lucy.
"Happy!" said Erza turning towards the floating blue cat, "the guild isn't too far away, go and bring back Levy. This jutsu shiki probably won't go away on its own."
"Aye, sir!" said Happy as he zoomed away.
Erza started walking again, but then broke into a run. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Ice Make: Lance!"
"Lightning Step!"
Lightning encased Amelia's feet and suddenly she was twice as fast. She easily dodged the ice lances and landed a kick. Electricity laced through Gray's body, but he quickly recovered.
"Ice Make: Hammer!"
Amelia just barely managed to dodge the giant hammer, but then she got blasted by a blizzard of ice.
"Ice Devil's Rage!"
Gray's right arm had black markings that spread to his face and through his eye. Amelia shakily stood up again.
"That's the power I wanted to see," she said with a glint in her eyes.
Gray scowled, "so you're targeting me because of my devil slaying magic?"
"You're smarter than you look," said the lightning mage. Then her left eye changed colors. It went from a bright purple to white.
Eye magic? Better be careful.
"What are you scared?" taunted Amelia with her purple and white eyes. She shot lightning towards the ice mage.
Gray easily dodged the attack, "Of course not. Ice Make: Sword!" The raven charged forward.
The green haired woman grinned as she jumped back a couple steps. Then she sent bolts of electricity through the roof.
Below them, on the top floor of the building, a certain blond haired man in a suit saw sparks of electricity lace the ceiling. He quickly finished the enchantment and activated the jutsu shiki.
Gray was charging towards the green haired woman, but then he rammed into an invisible wall.
"What the," he started as his sword disintegrated, but then he saw the wall of runes.
Rule: Those within the barrier shall fall into deep slumber.
Crap. Gray really hated jutsu shikis, they were really annoying and wouldn't let him fight properly. His eyelids began to fall and he collapsed onto the roof. Gray tried to force his eyes to stay open, but they wouldn't listen. He saw blurry versions of two people talking and strained his ears to pick up their conversation. Something about Otnami? Gray's eyes closed and everything went black.
Erza ran down the hall and finally found a staircase that lead all the way to the roof. She broke the door off its hinges and charged onto the roof. What she found startled her.
Gray was unconscious and there were two people standing over him. One of them was a green haired woman, the other was a blond man. They turned around to face the new intruder.
"Let's go, Max" said the green haired woman.
"Wait! Who are you and what did you do to Gray?" yelled Erza who summoned a sword and charged towards the two.
"Sorry, but we don't have time to play with you today, Titania. Maybe another time, tata!" said the green haired woman.
Erza swung her sword down, but she only cut through air. They had teleported away and taken Gray with them.
Author's Note:
Hi! I'm back with the second chapter. Sorry I kind of jump around a lot and it's mostly dialogue(I kind of feel like Kubo), but yeah. Anyways, thanks to AwesomeA101, Sara Snow, and Nerd-life77 for reviewing. That really made my day, I was practically bouncing around with excitement and joy. And just to clarify, this isn't my first time writing ever. I've written original stories together with my friends before, but we never actually finished(or gotten particularly far in) one. This is my first fanfic and I'm going to see this through to the end.
Also, sorry if Otnami sounds weird or anything. I just messed around with google translate because I really lack creativity when it comes to names. I took two words, translated them into Japanese(just cause), cut off part of the first word and stuck it to the second word. Kudos to anyone who can figure out which two words I used, or more interestingly why I choose those words(this will make more sense later in the story). Anyways, thanks again to those who faved/followed/reviewed it really made my day.
