Hello everyone..I'm back with new chapter. Before I can start, I'll answer some reviews from my dearest reader.

EndlessChains: Thanks for your support and you're correct, there is a Devil Slayer that more powerful than Erza. I can't tell you who is it.

E.N.D the fire demon: Apologize if I disappointed you, but he is FREAKING E.N.D. The most powerful Etherious from book of Zeref as well Zeref's younger brother. Something as puny matter as the conflict between two guilds ain't worth his time. The only reason why he was there because he wanted to watch his beloved student passed his first test with his own eyes.

charles123: No, Devil Slaying is a magic not curse. Only Etherious that can use curse and you will see another Nine Demon Gates in this chapter.

EliXY: I know Gray's ice Devil Slayer magic was purple and black is god Slayer, but I've feeling that E.N.D's flame curse would be black in color so that's why I decided to use black on Erza and Juvia.

Yes, I put some references from DxD because the theme of this story is close with that anime. I choose Juggernaut Drive as Erza's ultimate form because it's cool name, I was originally planning to name it 'Super Devil Mode' but that sounds too corny.

Yes, E.N.D will be more involve in this story and Devil Slayer are not the only one that can make Erza try, so Devil Slayer aren't only Erza's enemy.

Irahandayani18: Ini jawaban dari pertanyaan kamu dari berurutan. Liat aja di chapter ini, Lucy bakalan bentuk tim sama Kagura, Mirajane, Lyon sama Gray yang nanti disebutin di chapter ini, kayak jawaban nomer 1.

Lightningblade49, ValinNight, XxXZeusKillerXxX, DraigTrueEmperor9, abhishekbssn, etc: Thank you everyone!

WARNING: There are a lot of Crossover elements in this chapter, not only from Highschool DxD.

Episode 8: Unexpected Turn of Event

Saturday, July 7th, Year X784, 16:20 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia Outskirt.

"That was quite entertaining match, don't you agree Master?" Grayfia questioned her creator while she finished the dish and the portable kitchen disappeared in flash of light.

The silver haired Etherious turned towards E.N.D who was holding a manila folder which contains Juvia's profile on his left hand and a marker on his other hand. He smiled and drew an 'X' on Juvia's picture before put the marker to his pocket and gave the folder to Grayfia.

"She passed my first test." E.N.D said with rather satisfied tone and smiled a little while looking at the now Magnolia which only consisted of a gigantic crater. "The strength she just displayed was easily on par with those Spriggan Twelve [Twelve Shields] under my brother command."

Serafall smiled knowingly at this. "So that's the real reason why you ordered us to seek for human child and trained them, you tried to gather army to counter Zeref's own army." She commented while her master smiled even more.

"That's partly the reason…" E.N.D replied the black haired Etherious. "…I've told you before, I'm curious of what Mavis said and want to confirm it myself that if love can overcomes hate. Erza will be playing on the love side while another Devil Slayers will be playing on hate side. Erza can overcome one and there are three to go." E.N.D explained before he saw a blue Juhojin [Curse Circle] in front of him and a figure appeared from the circle while carrying a book.

The figure's appearance was that of a woman who has black hair and a pair of black eyes with her most noticeable feature being the two large gold-looking horns protruding from the sides of her head and pointing upwards. Upon her head was a white band which separates her hair, framing her bangs from her hair below the band. Worn upon her forehead was a small circular symbol with a small dot on the inside and surrounded by several dots around the top. Tied around her neck was a small white-colored strap.

Her attire consists of a very revealing beige-colored leopard-printed kimono, bearing the decorative marks on her shoulders. The kimono was wrapped around her torso with a thick, decorative yellow ribbon that tied behind her back, and her outfit was complemented by thigh-high socks that reveal her heels and toes.

Serafall narrowed her eyes at the woman and gritted her teeth in anger. "Beelzebub." She hissed at the woman venomously, her voice was filled with anger and rage.

Sayla Beelzebub, was the fourth Etherious E.N.D had created. She was a member of Tartaros Kyukimon [Tartaros Nine Demon Gates] as well as the second strongest member of the group just below Grayfia Lucifer by small margin. Among the Kyukimon and any other Tartaros members, Sayla was the one Serafall hated the most because a certain 'incident' that happened three hundred years ago.

Sayla ignored Serafall and walked to E.N.D. "Master…" Sayla greeted and kneeled before E.N.D until he motioned her to stand up. "…The preparation for your arrival is complete." Sayla reported causing the pink haired Etherious smiled, pleased at the report.

"Good work…" E.N.D complemented and Sayla nodded. "You still haven't found a suitable human child to become your pupil, have you?" E.N.D questioned Sayla who nodded her head in confirmation.

"My apologize Master, but it's true. I still haven't found anyone worth yet." Sayla answered while bowed her head in shame.

E.N.D sighed at this while shook his head. "It's okay, continue searching. Relay this to Mard and the rest of Kyukimon that aren't on the mission to meet me at the 'place'in two weeks." E.N.D ordered the black haired beauty who nodded and a Juhojin appeared again beneath her before she disappeared while giving Serafall a murderous glare that invoked the Lucifuge's wrath.

Serafall barely contained her fury but she was snapped out from her anger when she heard her master say something. "Serafall are you listening…?" E.N.D snapped at the girl.

"Yes, Master?!" Serafall shouted while she unconsciously saluted at him.

"Go to your student before she dies because of losing so much blood! Her condition is worse than Erza." E.N.D ordered and Serafall nodded her head before a pink Juhojin appeared beneath her and Serafall was disappeared from E.N.D sight.

Saturday, July 7th, Year X784, 16:25 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia Crater.

The Battle between Devil Slayers was over.

And Erza have won.

Erza stood triumphant not too far from her defeated opponent. Most of her clothes were tattered, she panted like crazy while her left and only hand clutching at her bleeding belly. She coughed up so much blood and fell to her knee, bloods dripping from her belly and her bicep since her forearm was gone.

Erza slowly walked over to the blue haired woman who was on worse condition than her. The poor woman lost her right arm, and left leg, suffered a lot of blood lost, not to mention multiple third-degree burns on her body including deep cuts on her stomach from Erza's claw damage and lastly damage to her lungs and some of her internal organs. Most of her body were covered with burned mark, half of her face were scorched in black, bloods flowed from her stomach because of Erza's claw and her clothes was also tattered that barely hid her figures.

Juvia was lucky that she was still alive, although barely.

Juvia miraculously was still conscious opened her eyes while staring at now orange sky. "Kill me!" She suddenly said weakly and Erza taken back a little at her statement but she then softened her gaze and sat beside Juvia.

"I don't want to…" Erza replied with neutral tone, not wanting to provoke the blue haired woman.

"Why wouldn't you?" Juvia began without even looking at Erza. "I've tried to kill you along with your friends and because of me your right arm and even your town are gone without trace."

"Why do you want to die so bad?" Erza merely asked and winced slightly from her wound.

"Because I have no purpose to live anymore. I failed to accomplish my mission Serafall-sama gave to me. She trusted me and I've fail her." Juvia answered Erza's question and began to cry.

Erza eyes softened at Juvia, knowing what she felt. As a Devil Slayer, they really admired and respected their mentors. Erza guessed that Juvia must have sad past just like her and girl mentor, Serafall must be the one who made the blue haired girl felt better just like what E.N.D had done to her. Erza was aware that Juvia loathed human in general because most of them hates rain, Erza could tell that during childhood Juvia was so lonely that no one wanted to play with her because rain was always happen when Juvia was around. It's no big surprise when Juvia will react like this when she had failed her mentor whom she admired greatly and Erza surely will do the same if she had failed her own sensei.

"You didn't fail me Juvia!" A female cheery yet serious voice came from behind the red head. Erza spun around to see a black haired girl, wearing pink cosplay costume with magic wand on her hand walked towards the two.

"S-Serafall-sama…" Juvia widened her eyes in shock as well as Erza when she heard the name of the girl from Juvia.

This girl was Serafall Lucifuge, Juvia's demon mentor and the very same woman that ordered Juvia to kill her. Erza's body stiffened when Serafall walked closer to her, preparing to defend herself since she thought this woman was here to finish what her pupil had started. Although Erza of all people should be understand that she was currently powerless to do anything.

"Relax Erza-chan! I'm not here to kill you, I'm just here to take my cute student before she dies from losing so much bloods." Serafall said to the red head as she walked passed Erza and crouched to Juvia. Serafall shook her head at her pupil current state. "Damn…She's really put you through hell, isn't she?"

Juvia only chuckled a little at that. "Hehe…you could say that. I didn't expect her to unleash Juggernaut Drive on the last moment." Juvia replied weakly before her eyes averted to Erza who was looking at her. "It's been fun Erza Dragneel, my sincerely apologize for almost killing all of your friends but I'm only doing that so you could fight me at your full power." Juvia apologized to the red head and smiled lightly at her.

Erza would be lying if she didn't enjoy the battle, it has been so long since she used her full power and it's felt so refreshing. Erza grinned at her. "No problem…It's been a while since anyone could push me that far." Erza said to Juvia and Serafall threw her a small bottle which the red head caught in reflex.

Erza stared at the bottle which was filled with some purple liquid and asked Serafall. "What is this?"

"The cure for those who got poisoned by Juvia. Just one drop for each one person and they will be cured in a minute." Serafall explained and Erza nodded before a Juhojin [Curse Circle] appeared beneath Serafall and Juvia and it began to envelope the two. Erza knew that this is the teleportation technique since her mentor had used it on them too. "Until next time!" Was that all Serafall's last words before she and her pupil vanished from the giant crater.

Erza stared at the bottle and sighed while winched again from her wounds before she heard numerous footsteps from behind. Erza turned around to see at her guildmates ran towards her.

"Erza…are you alright?" Kagura asked the red head and gasped when she saw her comrade's current state.

"Well…I'm losing an arm and my stomach is bleeding badly. Of course I'm nowhere near alright!" Erza retorted as Kagura asked that stupid question. She then was about to fell but Lucy caught her and supported Erza with her shoulder. "Thank you Lucy!" Erza thanked to the blond who nodded and smiled sadly at her, knowing that it was partly her fault.

"Man…it is not only the guild that completely obliterated…but Magnolia as well." Makarov mumbled as he looked over the place where the Magnolia town once was. 'Erza's last attack was very destructive, it is good thing that she informed the mayor to evacuate the citizen beforehand…I think I'll have a word with her after she recovered later.' Makarov thought, rubbing his chin while looking at the wounded Devil Slayer. 'At least her last attack didn't damage the Rumen Isutowaru [Lumen Histoire], or it could be a complete catastrophe…'

"Umm… master…" Lucy said in apologetic tone as she came closer to Makarov after Ur finished curing her with the cure that Erza gave to her. Her body was covered with bruises and burn mark from Erza's last attack.

"Hmm?" Makarov turned around to look at her. "You look like you ran into a quite a bit of trouble…" Lucy looked down, trying to find some words, but suddenly she heard cheering voices from behind.

"Don't give us that face, Lu-chan!" Levy's voice said came from behind. Lucy slowly turned around to face at the blue haired girl who was accompanied with Jet and Droy. "We're back!" Levy announced cheerfully, giving Lucy a wink.

"Levy-chan?" Lucy asked, she had to be surprised… but she couldn't feel it.

"It's victory where we all fought together…" Levy said.

"Although the entire town was destroyed…" Droy commented.

"You're really overdid again, Erza." Jet added jokingly.

"Shut up!" Erza muttered in annoyance at Jet.

"Sorry for making you worry, Lu-chan," Levy apologized.

"No, this is all my fa…" Lucy tried to reply.

"Everyone here knows the score. There's no need to beat yourself up over it. It's all good, Lu-chan…" Levy again tried to cheer up Lucy.

"No, no, it's not…" Lucy said.

"Lucy," Master called for her. "Hapiness and Sadnees we can't share all of it, but we can to some extent. That's what it means to be a member of our guild. One person's happiness is everyone's happiness. One person's anger is everyone's anger. And, one person's tears is everyone's tears…so you don't have to suffer with guilt…Lucy, those are the feeling in everyone's heart…" Master continued to speak while Lucy covered her face with her hands and began to sob. "…Raise your head. You are, after all, a member of our family, a member of Fairy Tail."

Tears leaked from Lucy's eyes like a river from the emotional speech Makarov just said before let out all the emotion in her heart. "Waaaaaahhhhh!"

Makarov smiled at this and looked around again. "Although…We went a 'bit' overboard…" Makarov mumbled to himself, causing Erza growled in annoyance when Makarov emphasize the word 'bit' "This is going to seriously piss off the Council…" The old man started to sweat all over. "Or wait, if it goes poorly, maybe I'll get arrested… Waaaaahhhh!" Makarov started to sob, shocking everyone.

"M-Master?"

Everyone shouted in panic while Ur merely laughed at this as she finished curing the guild members that was poisoned by Juvia, thanks to the cure Erza gave to her, she was able to heal all of them. Ur then turned to the red head and gasped with her eyes widened in shock. The Devil Slayer noticed this and looked at the older woman with curious look.

"What?" Erza asked the purple haired woman who kept looking at her as if she saw a ghost.

"E-Erza…your face…" Ur stuttered while pointing at Erza's face.

"Huh…my face?"

Kagura heard this and also gasped at what she saw. "O-Oi…what happen to your face?" She asked the red head in disbelieve and everyone also turned to Erza and looks utterly shocked at her.

Erza frowned at her the armored girl. "I can't even tell if I don't see it myself." Erza replied and the other girl didn't answer her, instead she requiped a large mirror and put it in front of Erza. The red head stared at the mirror and widened her eyes a little at when she looked at her own face. The right side of her face was normal, but the left side of her face was now mostly covered with black flame marking. Not only that, but her left too had change. The original white sclera with brown irises had been replaced by black sclera with crimson irises. "I see…" Erza sighed in expectation.

"Erza…what happen to you?" Makarov asked in worry at the sight of one of her daughters.

Erza looked at the old man. "Let's just say that this is the price for using such incomplete transformation." Erza answered simply, not wanting to make them worry that she just had come close to become an Etherious. Not that she mind it but her friends more likely will against it.

Unfortunately, the crowd was quiet for a moment when they heard Erza's last two words. Then they shrieked as one.

"EEEEHHHHHHHHH?!"

"I-incomplete- HUH?!" Ur's eyes damn near popped out of her head.

"That wasn't even the real power?!" Kagura said in shocked.

"How could the power of that caliber NOT be complete with so much power gunning for it?!" Mirajane exclaimed in disbelieve.

Makarov gasped, almost had heart attack "T-that scale of p-power from an un-un-unmastered form?!" Makarov stammered like an idiot.

Before Erza could retorted to them that they almost made her go deaf, she heard sounds of multiple footsteps approaching. All Fairy Tail's members turned towards the sound and saw a large group of Rune Knight heading in their direction and surrounded them.

One of them stepped forwards and walked towards Makarov who were sweating like crazy. "Nobody move a muscle! We are the personal constable of the council…The rune knights!" the Rune Knights's captain announced as they rounded up Fairy Tail.

"Oh, crap!" Gray exclaimed.

"Looks like they finally got a wind of what went down…" Cana commented with a sweatdrop.

"Hmm… I think I know this guy…" Erza narrowed his eyes, looking at the Rune Knights's captain and she remembered. "Ah…yes, I met him when I apprehended Bora in Hargeon."

"Waaahhhh!" Makarov continued to sob.

"Master! Pull yourself together!" Ur was shocked by the master's behavior.

One of the soldiers pulled out a scroll and gave it his captain who rolled it out. "Regarding the recent incident with Phantom Lord, we hereby charge you with 20 crimes of property damage as well as the destruction of Magnolia town…" The captain announced while looking directly at a certain red haired beauty. "…Erza Dragneel, you're under arrest."

Erza widened her eyes a little but quickly closed it while she understands the situation. She was the only who obliterated Magnolia and no matter what excuse she use, the Rune Knight won't listen. "I see…I under-" Erza gasped when she opened her eyes and saw that Suddenly, the area around them turned pitch black and white. She noticed that everything and everyone just stopped. People, birds that were flying, even clouds on the sky everything just stopped. The surrounding became silent like graveyard.

"What's going on here?" Erza asked to no one in particular. But before she could understand what's going on, Erza both felt tremendous aura nearby that made hers pale in comparison. At the next moment, someone grabbed Erza by shoulders from behind and roughly turned her around. Erza saw that it was her mentor but before she could ask, E.N.D forcefully opened her mouth and drop in something to her mouth.

Her eyes widened in surprise and…disgust. Because that was the nastiest thing that ever come to her mouth, even worse than Bora's flame. Erza felt the nauseous started to get better of her before she looked up to her mentor. "Sensei…what was that? That's tasted awful!" She asked her mentor.

"Pheonix tears…It will heal all your wounds in about…now." As E.N.D finished talking, Erza's body began to glow in purple light before dissipated, revealing Erza without any wounds except her right arm still gone. "Although it won't heal a losing limb."

Before Erza could say anything else again, a gigantic black Juhojin [Curse Circle] appeared above the Magnolia crater and in instant, Magnolia began to reform back into its original state. Erza watched in awe as the former wasteland had been replaced with the original Magolia, except the Fairy Tail's building was still obliterated.

"There…with this, those so called Knights don't have a reason to arrest you." E.N.D looked down at his student, put a hand on her shoulder and smiled. "…Once again, I'm really proud of you Erza, you're really worth of being my student, I know you won't disappoint me." E.N.D said grinning at her while caressed her left cheek with his right hand. A slight tinge of pink gracing her cheeks when she was met with in her opinion that charming, handsome grin of his.

"T-T-Thank you S-Sensei!" Erza stuttered, embarrassed but from inside, Erza was cheering to herself like a schoolgirl that had made a good impression to her handsome senpai. Erza did her best to hide the blush on her face with no success. She then turned to her right arm. "About my arm…"

"It will grow back in a week, you know this isn't the first time you're losing a limb or two…" E.N.D reminded her who nodded while she remembered the first day of her sword training with her mentor. E.N.D had cut both of her arms without hesitation, much to her horror but he reassured her that her arms will grew back in a week since E.N.D had put Saisei Juho [Regeneration Curse] on Erza's body.

"Until next time Erza…" E.N.D turned around and began to walk away before he disappeared from Erza's sight. And with his absence, the black field dematerialized and unfroze the surrounding.

Erza smiled turned towards the captains and said. "Exactly what destruction, Captain?"

"The destruction of-" The captain and everyone else including all Fairy Tail's mages sans Erza froze in their place when they saw the not so destroyed Magnolia. Everything seems normal except the Fairy Tail's building which was still gone because of Erza.

"Um…never mind."

Tuesday, July 17th, Year X784, 10:12 A.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, National Council Fiore Branch [Ten Days Later]

The trial of Fairy Tail started early that morning and took about four hours. Makarov had a good sleep during the process, irritating every councilor with his behavior. Yet, everything turned out very fortunate for Fairy Tail. Makarov was sitting at a bench with councilor Yajima who none other than his old friends during his golden age.

"Phantom Lord has been disbanded, and Jose has been stripped of his place among the Seiten Dai Madoshi [Ten Wizards Saint]…" Makarov talked to his old friend. "…So far, it's as I expected. But, I didn't expect Fairy Tail to be judged 'Not Guilty'."

"You should be grateful, Ma-bo, I did defend you, you know…" Yajima remarked.

"I'm in your debt, Yam-bo…" Makarov nodded his head thankfully. "…When the guild's rebuild up, come over and relax. I'll treat you to some ramen."

"I'll be pleased if you put twelve slices of roast pork on top of my Fairy Ramen." Yajima asked.

"Isn't 12 slices a bit much?" Makarov raised an eyebrow at the other old man.

"Remember, the case this time broke many guild rules and regulation from 4th paragraph onwards!" Yajima reminded Makarov about the case. "

"Fine! I'll give 20 or even 30 slices if you want!" Makarov exclaimed, frustrated that he was being blackmailed.

"Twelve slices of roast pork will suffice, thank you very much for your kindness." Yajima replied and Makarov sighed.

"Ma-bo, don't be so reckless again…We're not young anymore" Yajima remind him calmly Makarov only hummed in response. "Recently the Fairy Tail's member actions have been too conspicuous. Just between you and me, Michello and Org have brought forward a request to get you disbanded. If you continue like this, sooner or later you will receive heavy punishment."

Yajima let out a deep sight. "Ma-bo. You should just hurry up and retire. For the sake of your welfare."

His old friend's speech put Makarov into deep thoughtfulness.

Wednesday, July 18th, Year X784, 11:31 A.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia, Fairy Tail's Construction Site

"Everyone…from today onwards we can receive job request again. Even thought it's just a temporary counter, do all the job you can!"

The next day, Lisanna announced that the request board was once again open. All the mages happily ran over to the board to take on jobs. Lucy and Erza (with her right arm regenerated back, much to everyone's shock) were sitting at the bar with Lisanna, acting as the barmaid.

"What's with them? Normally all they do is slack of and refuse to do jobs." Lucy said, watching the unnamed guild members crowded the request board.

"Well, thanks to the payment from apprehending Bora, I am financially secured for a while so I'll take it easy for now." Erza said while eating her favorite chocolate cake…again.

"By the way, has any of you seen Ur?" Lucy asked while looking around, trying to find a woman with short dark purple hair. "I heard she found my keys when I lost them from that black water and I wanted to thank her properly." She explained.

"Well…she went out to ERA again for personal matter which I have no knowledge about." Lisanna answered the blond.

"By the way, were your spirits angry at you for dropping them?" Erza asked, looking at her curiously.

"Oh, it wasn't anything enough for them to get that mad about…" Lucy let out a nervous laugh as she remembered her last interaction with Aquarius.

"I thought I told you, NOT to lose them again, little girl…" The water bearer spirit shouted angrily, rising up the cane, "…Didn't I!?"

"Just remembering that makes my butt sting…" Lucy moaned, slamming her head into the bar again.

"Want us to cool it down for you?" Gray and Lyon offered from behind, building their ice magic.

"I don't need innuendo-style sexual harassment," Lucy replied with closed eyes without even looking at them.

"Hey Lucy…I think it needs to be checked out, let me take a look at your bright red ass." Mirajane smirked evilly.

"And no overt sexual harassment either!" Lucy was freaked out a bit at the she-devil's statement.

Erza decided to join and coated her left palm in black flame. "Hmm, I wonder if her ass can be as red as my hair?" Erza asked to herself with straight face.

"Are you a devil inside of woman body?!" Lucy yelled in shock at the red head.

Right then, a barrel came flying at Erza's direction and shattered into pieces on impact with the back of her head. Erza blinked a few times before looked at where the barrel came from.

"I dare you to repeat that!" Kagura shouted angrily, glaring at the blonde man known to the guild as Laxus Dreyar. Erza merely shook her head at this, knowing what will happen before turned her attention back to her cake.

"Then this time I'll be blunt…" The muscular man said, with an arrogant grin. "Weaklings don't deserve to be members of this guild." He turned his attention to the still injured Team Shadow Gear.

He knew with his gramps and Ur weren't around, no one was able to stop him now to gloat them. Well, there is Erza but Laxus thought the red head seems didn't give a shit since she and him shared the same opinion, but the Devil Slayer kept it to herself, she didn't insult anyone except ones who annoyed her. Knowing Erza, she would let Laxus talk all he want as long he didn't physically hurt anybody.

"You guys sure are pathetic, getting humiliated by Phantom in such a way. Come to think of it, I don't even know your names. Who the fuck are you anyway?" Jet, Droy and Levy looked away in shame. Laxus turned his attention towards Lucy. "Oh, and there we have the cause to all of this. Miss Stellar Spirit herself. It's because of you…"

"THAT'S ENOUGH, LAXUS." Mirajane interrupted loudly, making her way towards the blond man. "The matter is closed. Nobody cares whose fault it is. And neither should you. Those are master's words."

"The hell with what that old fart says. You should be thankful that I help you fight those Phantom weaklings, if I was not around, you would be in worse pathetic state than this." Laxus said as he stood up, maintaining his vicious grin.

"Shut your trap, Laxus!" Kagura yelled angrily as she flared her Maryoku [Magic Power]. "How dare you spoke to your grandfather like that"

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Don't you dare to order me around Kagura! You might have the rest of this guild cowering in your wake, but you are nothing to me!" Laxus yelled angrily as lightning began to spark around his body.

That was when an absolutely massive immense Maryoku, far exceeding even Erza's, washed over the area, causing a massive earthquake that shook over the entire Magnolia, crumbling the unfinished guild building and crushing everyone but Erza to the ground, although the red head was having a very hard time to stand. Erza turned in the direction that the aura was coming from, as did everyone else (while on the ground), staring at the same spot with expressions of utter disbelief, even fear including Erza.

The source of this overwhelming power was a LITTLE GIRL around twelve years old. The girl has long dark blue hair reached her back that was tied up in pigtails held together by two animal ears like attachments with two strands of hair hang down on each side of her face. The little girl was wearing a long sleeved white ornate top that had some kind of royal crest on the chest, signifying that the girl was people of immense importance. She also wore a white frilled skirt, a pair of black gloves and black thigh high socks, black boots and black cape that bore the same golden crest like the one on the chest.

Despite her diminutive size, the girl was releasing an incredible aura, the level of power which Erza had only felt from top-notch fighters like Grayfia. No, scratch that, Erza aware that this overwhelming power might outclass even her.

"W-W-Who are you?" Erza asked fearfully, tried to not stutter with no success at all since she was too shocked at the presence of this girl that could be categorized as the second most powerful person Erza ever met just below her mentor.

"My name is Wendy Marvell…the honorable Knight of Round under direct command of Emperor of Holy Britannia Empire himself." The girl known as Wendy answered with monotone voice. When Erza heard these words she felt as if she was smashed by weight of a certain oversized reptile that her mentor hated the most.

Someone in unknown island, Acnologia flew over the island before he sneezed loudly that wiped out the poor island.

Back to Magnolia, everyone went pale when Wendy mentioned the words 'Knight of Round' and 'Britannia'. All Fairy Tail's mages, including the fodder members was aware what those two means.

Holy Britannia Empire was extremely powerful empire that located on the north of continent of Ishgar that ruled over one-third of continent of Ishgar. The empire was consisted of one thousand and one guilds and they weren't bound by Magic Council, their guilds masters only answered to one and only Britannia Emperor himself.

Meanwhile, Knight of Round was a group that was formed by Emperor Britannia that consisted of twelve most powerful mage in the Holy Britannia Empire under direct command of the Emperor. The lower member of Knight of Round was at least on par with the rank first of Seiten Dai Madoshi [Ten Wizard Saint] while the higher member was even stronger.

To say that all Fairy Tail's members were shocked would be a very, very big understatement. Of all people that could have visited them, they didn't expect it to be a member of Knight of Round. Was this girl here to invade Fiore Kingdom but where is the army. Did she intent to invade them on her own.

"Uh…what brings one of Britannia finest Knights to our humble guild?" Erza asked nervously while choose her word carefully, not wanting to anger someone obviously stronger than her. Still, she was still very curious why Wendy was here.

"I'm here, on His majesty's behalf…"Wendy's right hand reached to her breast pocket and pulled out a folded paper and gave it to Erza. "…His Majesty ordered me to give this to you."

"Thank you." Erza mumbled as she took the envelope and began to open it. She opened the envelope and found a single folded sheet of paper inside which shocked Erza to death. The hand written message was short, to the point, and very surprising.

"T-This is…"

"…A job request from his majesty for you and YOU alone." Wendy finished while emphasized the word 'You' as she turned around and headed towards the exit. "You have ten hours to decide, the train will leave at 10 P.M and show that ticket on your left hand to the guard so they won't attack you on sight."

Erza looked down to her left hand and there was a golden ticket on her left hand. 'When did she…' She thought pure surprise and wondered how Wendy put the ticket on her left hand without her knowing.

The moment Wendy was out of sight, Erza slumped to her knees. She hadn't even realized she has stopped breathing. The heavy aura disappeared, allowing for everyone to stand back to their feet while Erza took deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Erza…are you okay?" Lucy asked as she approached the red head.

"No Lucy…I'm not." Erza simply answered as the blond helped her to stand. "I think I might go home now." Erza began to walk away but suddenly stopped. "Laxus…" Erza called, gaining attention from the blond man. "…This is what I mean when I said there is always somebody above you, no matter how powerful you are. Just because you're the strongest in one place, doesn't mean you're the strongest in another place." And with that, Erza leaved the construction site while putting the blond man in deep thought.

Wednesday, July 18th, Year X784, 09:39 P.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Fiore Kingdom, Magnolia, Fairy Tail's Construction Site

The moon had already risen as Master Makarov was sitting upon the new guild wall currently under construction after being destroyed by Wendy. Drinking booze and looking at the construction site, he was thinking about the future.

'Retirement, huh? The guild has gotten a new start and Erza ultimatum me it would be fitting for a new master to lead them into the next generation…' Makarov started to think of candidates.

'Laxus… his attitudewill surely bring about calamity to the guild…'

'Mystogan… That guy is the walking definition of lack of communication…'

'Gildarts… Well, it's hard to call him the one who belongs to a new generation…not to mention that he's never around…'

'Ur…same with Gildarts but she is not that old…although Erza persistently said that she's the perfect candidate…"

'Mirajane… Be honest, she's a little immature and has short temper…and Kagura won't in million times approve it…'

'Kagura herself…she's too young, a bit naive and way too strict…'

'And that's leave me to Erza… So far, she is the most logical choice aside of Ur… She maybe as young as Kagura and Mira, but that girl had proved herself that she is more mature than them, she is clever and already has good connections to higher-ups, so she can keep council fools away from the guild, and she's definitely capable of taking care of finances… The only thing she lacks is motivation… That girl is lazy as hell despite her intellect… No one can figure out what she thinking…'

"Even if I nominated her, she will say…"

"…Too troublesome." A familiar voice called out from bellow.

"Hmm?" Makarov looked down to see Erza carrying her backpack, with a stack of papers on her hand

"Don't ever think about it, it won't happen." Makarov only sighed at this. His thought was right, Erza won't accept it. "Looks like they've done it again..." The old man responded with a 'huh?' "...Kagura along with Mira, Gray, Lyon and Lucy destroyed half a city while out on a quest. The council wants a written explanation from you by tomorrow." Makarov went pale as his eyes became wide as saucer and if his chin had the ability to hit the ground it would. The old master comically faded away to dust.

"LIKE HELL WILL I RETIRE!" The master shouted to the night sky.

Erza merely shook her head. "No…old man, you should follow Yajima-jiji's advice…for your own good." That caused Makarov froze in place at the mention of his old friend's name.

"How did you…"

"Believe me or not, I have a spy on the council." Erza said with a grin on her face Makarov looked down to her in complete disbelieve. "I'm going."

"Are you sure you want to go to that mission…?" Makarov asked with a hint of worry. When he heard that one of the Knight of Round came to his guild on Britannia Emperor's behalf, he almost got cardiac arrest. But still, he still couldn't believe it the Emperor himself sent a request to one of her children, he still thought it was a trap knowing how dangerous Britannia Empire was. "It could be a trap…?"

"A trap?" Erza raised an eyebrow and giving the old man look that said 'Are you kidding me'. "Why would the Emperor bother to send one of his most powerful Knights just lure out a no name mage like me, it doesn't even make any sense. I'm not even a threat to him, not even close. If Britannia wanted to assassinate me, then that Knight of Round that visited me today should be more than enough to get the job done without everyone knowing."

"I see…" Makarov sighed as he couldn't counter Erza's logic.

But still he was worry about her, despite Erza being a pain sometimes. He really wanted to send someone to follow her but this is Britannia he was talking about, they were mostly be prepared if there was someone that followed Erza and killed them on the spot.

And he couldn't risk his children safety for that.

"Don't worry old man…I'll be fine." A pause on Erza's word just made him worry even more. Erza then turned around and walked away from the guild construction site. "See you later!" Erza said as she headed towards Magnolia station where Wendy was currently waiting for her.

"Good luck Erza!"

After fifteen minutes of good walks, Erza reached Magnolia station and the first this she saw was a very, for lack of better words, odd trains. The locomotive was looks like a bullet while the carriage looks normal. But what freaked Erza more was the fact that the train doesn't have any wheel at all, the train was floating slightly above the railway.

The train looks too extravagant for Erza's taste, the color was white with royal gold accents and Britannia flags on each sides. Erza noticed that there was no one here aside of herself and a young woman with wavy long white hair and blue eyes, waiting in front of the train's door. Erza walked towards the young woman who spotted her.

"Erza Dragneel…" Erza merely nodded and showed the young woman the golden ticket that Wendy gave to her. "…Please, this way!" The woman gestured the red head to follow her as the train's door automatically opened. The woman stepped inside the train and Erza followed soon.

Erza and the mysterious woman navigated their way through the fancy carriage until Erza spotted Wendy, sitting on one of the seats. But she wasn't alone, there was someone else that sitting with her.

"I see…you're accepting his majesty's request." Wendy said without looking at Erza while drinking a glass of tea. "I believe you know each other." Erza looked down and saw a familiar blue haired girl sitting right in front of Wendy.

"Juvia?" Erza sounds quite shocked at the presence of former Phantom's mage and looks like her right arm and left leg has regenerated back. "You're going to this mission too?"

"Ah yes…I'm going to this mission, although I have no idea that you will come too." Juvia asked jokingly without even looking at the red head as she too took a sip of a glass of tea. "How is your arm by the way?"

"Grow back again! Thanks to you, I had to isolate myself for a week." Erza answered sarcastically as she took a seat beside the water Devil Slayer.

Just when her butt hit the seat, the train started to move, gaining more speed before the two Devil Slayer felt that the train moved upward.

Juvia looked out the windows only to see the train was not touched the ground. "We're flying…" Juvia said in complete awe when the train indeed flying. She then turned to the member of Knight of Round. "I thought you said this is a train." She asked Wendy.

"OH…this is really a train. But I've never said specifically what kind of train it is." Wendy answered simply before she stood to her feet and walked out from the seat. "We uses Juuryoku no Maho [Gravity Magic] to make this train fly so we can reach our destination faster. This train also can move on the railway like any other train but that would take too long to reach Pendragon."

"Wait…you've never tell us the details of this mission." Erza called out for the younger girl.

"I'm only her to escort you to Pendragon…His majesty himself will fill you out with the details once we arrived in the Pendragon Palace." Wendy replied as she continued walking towards a cabin which has Britannia's flag on the door. The blue haired girl punched the code and the door opened itself as when stepped into the cabin before it closed again.

Erza and Juvia only looked at the closed cabin in dumbfounded before sighed tiredly and let their body to sink into the soft seat which was quite comfortable in their opinions.

'This gonna be a very, very long ride'

Thursday, July 19th, Year X784, 10:10 A.M, Earthland, Ishgar, Holy Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Pendragon Royal Station.

The private train was flying right above Pendragon, the Imperial Capital of Holy Britannia Empire. The train flew towards Pendragon Royal Station, a train station specifically for the Emperor and Knight of Round. Erza and Juvia looked out the window and amazed at the sight of beautiful city from the sky while Wendy merely shook her head in amusement.

"So…this is Pendragon?" Erza mumbled, she could tear her eyes from the beautiful sight of the city. "This city is even bigger than Crocus."

"Comparing Pendragon to Crocus, like comparing a mansion to a shack." Wendy snorted.

Tall glass lined skyscrapers and gigantic solar panel arrays reflected and amplified the city's light, making it stand out in absolute contrast to the desert surrounding the city. The most noticeable thing of Pendragon was the giant building called Pendragon Palace where the Emperor of Holy Britannia Empire resided. It was located right in the middle of Pendragon and close to Pendragon Royal station, acting as the landmark of the city as well as the landmark of Britannia itself.

"Attention we are about to stop at Pendragon Royal Station, please put your seat belt on!" A voice announced over the PA System on a train that on its way to its destination. As the train landed safely at the station, Wendy stood up as well as the other two, walked toward the door which was opened by itself and stepped out the train.

Just when then three stepped out the train, a soldier in purple uniform came running towards Wendy and whispered something to her after saluted at the Knight of Round. Wendy nodded her head and the soldier saluted again and began to leave.

Wendy turned around to face Erza and Juvia. "I have just got another info, his majesty is making his way to the Palace and currently greeting to his subjects after twenty years of absence." Wendy informed the two as she began to walk out the station, causing Erza and Juvia raised an eyebrow while she and Juvia followed the little girl towards the escalator.

"Wait…you mean he hasn't been here for years?" Juvia asked rather surprised that sent a request to her and Erza wasn't even in his own country.

"Correct." Wendy confirmed as the group went up an escalator to the entrance of the station. "Twenty years ago, the Emperor said he will leave to attend personal matter and command me to look after Britannia in the absence of his majesty. His majesty didn't tell me the reason, but as Knight of One, I have no reason to doubt him." She explained as they walked out the station towards the road.

"HIS MAJESTY!"

"HIS MAJESTY IS BACK"

"IT'S BEEN YEARS!"

"HEY LOOK, IT'S HIM!"

"WE LOVE YOU, YOU MAJESTY!"

The groups heard numerous cheering coming from the crowd that crowding the main street led to the Palace. Wendy walked towards the crowd while Erza and Juvia share a look before followed the younger girl.

"Excuse me…could you please move away? I need to see with the Emperor." Wendy asked a random civilian that blocked her way towards the road that happened to be a bulk man that looks intimidating for normal people.

"Scram you brat…like the Emperor would had time to see a random twerp like you." The man answered rather rudely without looking at Wendy. Since Wendy was looks like twelve years old, she has the voice of twelve years old girl too.

Wendy merely frowned and narrowed her eyes. "Do you want get execute then?" Wendy asked again but this time she used her authoritative voice. The man spun around, looked down at Wendy and pale at the sight of Knight of One herself.

"E-Excellency…" The man stuttered before bowed deeply at Wendy, knowing that he was in very, very deep trouble for calling the second most powerful person in Britannia a brat and twerp. No matter how you look at it, a little girl in military uniform was far more intimidating than a random bulk man in regular clothes. "M-My deepest apology…I didn't know you're back."

Wendy really, really wanted to maim this guy for calling her brat but right now she has far more important matter than dealing with a random civilian. "Since I'm in good mood and on tight schedule, I'll let it slide…NOW SCRAM!" Wendy was all but commanded the man who cowered and wisely backed away from the Knight of Round way.

Wendy walked forwards, completely obvious of Erza and Juvia hugging each other while chattered their teeth. 'Damn, that girl is scarier than I thought' They shared the same thought as watching Wendy ordered another civilian that blocked her way to get off of her way.

Wendy reached the road and turned to her right to face at the Emperor and gracefully kneeled before him, although Erza and Juvia still couldn't see him because of the civilians closed the path that Wendy just made. "Welcome back, Your Majesty! You looks fine as usual." Wendy greeted her superior.

"Glad to be back…please rise Wendy!" The emperor replied but the Devil Slayer still couldn't see him.

Erza widened her eyes in pure shock and disbelieve as she heard the voice. Even thought from all this commotion, Erza thought the voice strangely sounds familiar to her and it belongs to someone that the least she thought to be the Emperor. Erza forced her way towards the road, ignoring the protest from the civilians and shout from Juvia before she made it. When she saw the Emperor, Erza fell to knee as her entire body tremble while her mind tried to comprehend the Emperor that apparently she knew personally.

Right in front of her, was the Emperor of Holy Britannia Empire, as well as her mentor, Etherious Natsu Dragneel.

"S-Sensei…"
