Fire And Ice
Chapter 11 - Fight
"How exactly do we stop it?" Lucy spoke, stress evident in her soft voice. I looked to Wendy, "you okay?" She nodded giving me a light smile before looking in another direction, "yes, actually I have a idea." She snapped her fingers as she ran the other way, before I could stop her I had frozen due to the voice in my head.
"Everyone this is hoteye, I was not able to defeat Midnight, you all have to work together to defeat him. This will cause Nirvana to stop, he is located beneath the throne room. . . .I will warn you he is truly powerful."
"He's right below us?" Lucy asked as she looked down, I watch Natsu curl his fist as he grinned. "Alright I am all fired up. Let's go." He shouted, he started to run with the rest of them. Looking around I had noticed that Jella wasn't near here, "Jella." I shouted hearing my voice echo off in the distance.
"I need to stop Nirvana." I mumbled as I made my way downstairs, running down I had seen Lucy, her pigtails swinging back and forth. "Luc-" I could hear a gasp as I jumped right behind her, "it's a trap." Jura shouted.
I breathed in sucking the breath in as I took a step forward within the moment, "Earth Dragon's King Dome." My voice had been not heard as I shouted in the explosion, I gasped as I felt the explosion hit me head on.
My body screamed to collapse as my brain told me stand up as I felt the burning sensation burn within my skin. I felt the world spin as I became more and more dizzy, my head aching as I had felt the burns rest on to my skin.
"What the hell!" I heard a shout from behind me, my hands had started to tremble feeling the impact weigh my entire body down it had felt as if I had pushed my body over its limits. I fell to my knees, feeling my conscious starting to fade.
"Amaryllis!" I heard Natsu call me as I felt my body fall forward, I felt the hands hold me up as I was gripped tightly within the arms. "Listen, Amaryllis. Stay awake." Jura patted my cheeks as he held me, I closed my eyes, hearing the amount of shouting run in my ears.
"Let us take her." I felt my body in the arms of another person, I barely could open my eyes but it seemed as if I had managed, "Blade." He smiled down at me, watching as the entire area change.
We weren't in the human world but the Celestial world now, "look what you did to yourself." Blaze looked to me with narrowed eyes, "I-I-I had to protect them." I mumbled, Blade shook his head looking at me.
"You need to know, that your body is limited," Blaze spoke angrily, his voice tense with anger as he clenched his arms across his chest looking at me. I gritted my teeth as Blade took the chance to press the tip of the needle into my flaming skin.
"Hopefully this will take away majority of the wounds but not all." He looked at me with those calm and collected eyes of his, I slowly moved my body watching as most of the damage had started to clear from my skin.
"Thank you" I mumbled as I got up, seeing some of the other spirits gather around. "Amaryllis are you okay?" Asked one of the clock spirits I nodded, looking ahead as I had seen a horrifying image, Erza had coughed blood as she countless attacked and by who. . . . .Midnight.
"How dare he." I took another step forward glaring at the screen, "we need to get to her." I watched as she lifted her arm throwing her long sword towards him. he merely dodged it he smirked seeing this as he launched another attack.
"I will destroy him." I mumbled, "in order to protect her." I felt Blade link his arm tightly around mine as Blaze did the same. "We have the element of surprise, why not use it?" Blaze smirked as Blade scowled.
I nodded, looking down as I had seen Erza fighting Midnight as Jella laid conscious on the ground his figure not moving. I nodded towards them, gripping the wind blades in my fingers, I breathed out watching as Erza laid flat on the ground, feeling my blood boiling I clenched the blades until I felt my palms turn red with anger.
"Triple Formation:Element Drive." We all shouted, I lifted my blades striking the air multiple times as the twins shot the crystals of fire and water, creating a freezing yet a burning tornado. It was fast and deadly, at that moment I was sure it had hit him.
I landed on the ground seeing as Midnight had slowly gotten up, his eyes wide with anger and his body showed the revealing bruises. "Ah, I see the famous Amaryllis, shows up." He laughed lightly, I looked to Erza seeing her standing in her new suit. Bold as usual.
"Amaryllis." I heard Jella call out from behind Midnight. "Together we will eliminate the plans you have for Caitshelter." Erza spoke, her voice loud with passion and clear as her determination.
"Shall we see if it's true that with the two of you working together are deadly." He reached his hand out, I took a step back seeing as Erza stepped into the ground as she ran at him, appearing in front of him.
I looked down to my hands, watching as the two long sharp blades appeared within my fingers, it was pointed upward, these were the sharpest of the blades in the world and the strongest. The handles were a blood red with diamond shaped in the middle as it was tightly wrapped in bandaging. I mostly liked to call it Demon Blades.
I smirked as Erza spear clang against the air, as she reached her hand out hitting him square in the chest. I bent my knees as I appeared behind him, seeing Jella's eyes widened at the amount of speed.
"Earth Dragon's Extended rock wall." It hit Midnight directly in the back sending him flying into the sky, I jumped up to him, seeing his smirk long gone as we replaced with slight hint of fear.
"Demon Blades: Sharpest Dance." I twirled feeling the violent air bond with me, as the slices of my blades dug into his skin, I heard the tears of skin and the blood sprayed on to my skin, I licked my lips as I landed the final slash. Watching as he fell, he had tried to use his magic swinging it at me, I easily dodged it digging the heel of my foot into his stomach seeing as he hit the ground harder.
I landed on the ground beside Erza, watching as he was drove into his hole yet again. "I think it is clear who is victorious." Erza spoke, her eyes downward as she looked at him. He looked up to us, blood falling from his wounds.
"I wonder if I killed you earlier you wouldn't have seen this. . . .Fear." His eyes darkened as we looked up, the sky was much darker than before. "At Midnight my refraction gets the strongest." I stepped back watching as his figure had gotten bigger and bigger,
"W-What." I felt my skin crawl with confusion, watching as he held something within his fingers as he ran towards us, "I don't care what happens now." I watched as he threw the shocking magic at us, my body filled with uncertain confusion.
I landed on my back, "ouch." I heard Erza mutter, I groaned looking to the side watching as Jella was stabbed, a long arm that had looked like a tentacle stabbed him straight in the stomach, my eyes widened as it did the same to Erza. Blood spilling on to the arm, dressing her clothes.
"Erza!" I gasped as I felt the large arm drive into my stomach, I screamed in pain as he dug in it harder, feeling my lungs burn as I gasped to get oxygen. "Amaryllis." Erza screamed but stopped short for it.
"A-Amaryllis!" Jella yelled, I clawed at the arm trying to release me. But he merely laughed as he digged it into me, "dear Amaryllis, don't go dying on me now." His voice hard as he sinsterly laughed looking at us.
I breathed out calmy as I sliced across his chest as Erza followed, taking a deep breath I heard him groan in pain,"t-the illusions. . . .didn't work." I turned to him, "your illusion didn't work on us." Erza spoke, her voice softer than before.
"N-No, that can't be I'm s-supposed to be the strongest mage." He held his hands up to the sky, looking at the dream he had vanished within the few seconds. "Seeing people suffering seems to be a laugh to you." Erza spoke, I sighed running a hand through my hair. "Than you are a far from the top." I said
He fell to the ground with a thump, "if you don't want to lose anyone it is better to know you weakness, and to always have kindness." I spoke crossing my arms as I looked to Erza.
"Jella!" Hearing the voice, I looked to the person. "Wendy?" I raised an eyebrow, Jella who was gripping his arm looked to the small blue haired girl, "w-who are you?" He asked. She froze for a moment looking down sadly.
"Jella's memories have been damaged, therefore he doesn't remember any of us to well." Carla raised her fist looking at him, "did you forget how to destroy Nirvana as well." He nodded, I bent to his level.
Rubbing his arms softly, causing him to look at me with wide eyes, I smiled lightly at him hoping it would help his mood, "what about our guild? Are we going to watch it be destroyed in front of us." Carla shouted, her cheeks flushed with anger.
"There firing Nirvana!" Erza shouted, Wendy screamed at the top of lungs telling them to stop. I gasped, fumbling for my keys, I gritted my teeth. "Open the gate of the twin wolf spirits." The two large wolf appeared in front of me.
I quickly jumped on to the back of Blaze, as we quickly took off. I held on tightly, hearing Erza call out behind me. "Faster!" I yelled, they pushed themselves harder. I clenched my fist into Blaze fur, they could teleport me.
"Blaze, Blade let's teleport their." They changed back into their regular forms, though Blaze held me within his arms. Closing my eyes, I opened them again seeing a man in front of me, it was Blaine?
I watched as Nirvana fired, I gasped as it was closed to Caitshelter, but then a miracle happened. It missed.
"W-What!?" He demanded, I held my twin back, I had seen one of Nirvana's legs had been destroyed. I grinned as I looked up, it was Christina.
"Everyone can hear me, I know a way to destroy Nirvana. There are six legs on Nirvana, they are actually valves that draw magic from the earth."
"The Lacrima crystals are responsible for absorbing it. They are positioned around the top of each leg. Destroy all six of those at the same time will halt."
I breathed out as I felt the dark magic burst towards me, gritting my teeth I rolled to the side. Blaine titled his head looked at me with dark eyes, ones that weren't there before. I was suppose to help destroy them.
"I uploaded the exact time it needs to be destroyed." My eyes widened, in twelve minutes. He looked at me as I bent my knees, he looked at me with a bright smile.
"I am the master of Oracion Seis, Zero. I never thought that this would come to be like this, but I had already destroyed three of your comrades, the dragon slayer and the ice-mage even that stellar spirit girl along with her cat. Now, I will enjoy the time with the female dragon slayer, Amaryllis. Do you think she can hold out until you destroy them, better pray I don't kill her."
How the hell did he get into Hibiki's link, "I think I will enjoy killing this girl." I watched him smirk at me, pointing above his head.
"I doubt this girl can destroy one of the crystals and defeat me within twelve minutes, I suggest you help before I destroy her." He was right.
I didn't notice it till now, "we don't have enough people to destroy it." I heard Erza spoke, I gasped as I nearly got hit again. "You have me, oh shit-" I spoke as I jumped again, gripping the two wind blades as I looked at him.
I jumped back, "Wing Blade:First Deception." Twirling the blades, he easily dodged the wind illusion. I huffed, "We need someone to help Amaryllis." Erza's voice called out painted with worry.
"I'm fine." Zero smirked as he appeared in front of me, kicking me into the ground hard. I clenched my fist as I looked at him,"me as well." Ichiya spoke, he seemed to be in a tight situation.
"We have four we need three more, Natsu, Lucy, Gray." I flipped back, looking at a smirking Zero. "Natsu, Gray get up. Who is suppose to protect me, huh? To think you guys are being yourself, so what if you got beat by him. Get up and stand because what makes us stronger, is the will to fight and protect those we love. Honestly Lucy, you can't be dead now, right? Where is the girl that is strong both heart and spirit."
I spinned kicking him in the face, gripping my thunder blades as I tried to hit him, my breathed nearly caught in my throat as his knee nearly connected with my stomach. I smashed the thunder blade across his chest, seeing him being shocked. I was unaware of magic behind my back, slamming me into the wall.
"SURE WE CAN!" I heard them yell together, letting a smile spread on to my face. I breathed out standing up, bending my knees properly. I wasn't going to go down like this, he titled his head.
"I will destroy you, since you have put these injuries on my skin." I raised my fist,gripping my Demon Blades. "I'd like to see you try." I dashed towards him, his magic similar to Dark Rondo. I held the blades in front of me, I will go straight in it.
"Your stupid, to think you beat Brain. Going ahead in I will kill you." I replaced my feet in my fast heels at the last moment I dashed around the corner, hearing him laugh. "Demon Blade:Sharpest Dance." I watched him groan in pain as I replaced his healed skin with cuts and heavy deep wounds.
I flipped back, watching him grit his teeth as he look back at me, his mood completely different. I quickly wiped the blood from my lips as I stood up, "that move nearly killed my son." I watched him raise his hand out.
Dust had parted, "dark Capricorn." I smirked as I let my hands touch the ground. "Earth Dragon Rock wall." Watching as it pierced the wall, I breathed out as, I gripped one of my least favorite blade, though it strenght I had disliked the fact it specialized in one thing.
"Ginmori:Absorb." I raised the blade, pointing at the dark Capricorn move, I held my left hand on to my right hand. Bracing as Ginmori quickly sucked it in like nothing, I stumbled back as I watched the blade change from white to a dark red.
I moved the side, point the blade to him, "Ginmori:Redirect." I watched as Blaine's eyes widened, shooting it I gritted my teeth as I watched as the redirecting had ended faster than I thought it would.
"H-How?" He asked as he looked between me and Ginmori, he got off the wall. Walking towards me, shock gone from his face and was replaced with a smirk, "you simply think a move like that would work on me."
I felt his hand sink into my stomach, he then kicked my legs, I couldn't get up. It was as if my body had completely shut down on me, breathed out I watched as he stood over me, "I will kill you now." I watched him raise his fist producing the power of dark rondo.
"Roar of the fire dragon." I heard the shout. Suddenly a burst of heat exploded over my body, I watched as the bright flames danced in front of my vision. I smiled to myself, watching as he jumped away trying to avoid Natsu's attack.
I breathed out, feeling the tightening in my stomach. "Natsu." I whispered, looking to my right I had caught the figure of Natsu, veins popping out of his forehead. I gave a small laugh as I closed my eyes. My knight in his shining armor has finally come.
