I'm back! Sorry for the slight delay. I was sick and i thought i was dying...
Anyway thank you for the reviews again. Now finally the fight with Erigor!
Hope you guys enjoy it!
Kera glared at Erigor as the two of them stood opposite each other. Kera had her hands clenched into fists. "You are going to pay dearly for what you did and what you are doing now."
Erigor laughed. "You can't beat me. You couldn't have done it a few years ago why do you believe that you can defeat me now?"
"Because I grew stronger and I have determination." She snarled.
He laughed. "Then come and show me what you got!"
Before anyone knew it Kera charged towards Erigor with her fists aflame just like Natsu and aimed a punch straight for his face. Erigor didn't move at all and just smirked. Suddenly a wind barrier appeared right in front of him cutting Kera's attack off and throwing her back.
She jumped from the ground and charged at him again but this time with water. Erigor laughed as he saw Kera sending a slash of water towards him. Grinning he sent his own Wind Blade towards it cutting it in half.
"You can't defeat me Kera. Your strongest element is fire and fire will never defeat wind!" He stated laughing. Kera snarled as she clenched her fists.
Charging towards him she again summoned fire and tried to cut him in half with a fire whip. Erigor grinned as he suddenly crossed his hands in front of him and wind started to move around his body creating a tornado where he was inside of it. Kera's eyes went wide as the whip dispersed as it hit the tornado.
He grinned. "You still don't learn." With that he sent a gust of tornado hitting Kera straight in the chest and slamming her in to the ground. She coughed as the air was forced out of her body. Getting back to her feet she glared at Erigor. He's gotten stronger as well… damn it! I can't beat him with just fire and water! That tornado is like an armor for him.
Her eyes went wide as she saw him sending Wind Blades after her. Kera quickly dodged every one of them before sending another blast of fire at him but it didn't reach him. The winds were extinguishing them.
But maybe more fire would work. Kera moved her leg. "Dragons Roar: FIRE!" She shouted before sending a huge flame towards Erigor.
"Do you think that will do any difference!?" Erigor shouted as he sent a tornado towards the fire and extinguished it like a flame.
"You're still as weak as you were all those years ago." He taunted. He flew away from the train station and into the air. Kera snarled. "Don't you dare leave!" she shouted before jumping off the railing and after Erigor.
Erigor laughed as he quickly turned around and sent a blast of wind towards her. Kera smirked as she threw her hand from up to down creating a water slash that cut Erigor's wind in half. He looked slightly shocked as he saw Kera flying towards him with a hated glare.
With a shout Kera smashed her foot through the tornado armor he was wearing and into his stomach. Erigor flew against the side of a building. "How…"
Kera landed gracefully in front of him on the ground. "I told you, I got stronger. I'm not that weak as I was before."
Erigor grinned. "Well then, let's see how you deal with my Storm Bringer!" He shouted in a sick grin. Kera looked at the ground and saw a seal underneath her feet, a purple one.
"Crap." She muttered. Before she could even move, a tornado was generated and trapped Kera into it while cutting and beating the hell out of her. She let out a scream of pain.
Erigor laughed. "No one can defeat me, not even you pathetic Dragon Slayers!" He shouted.
Kera gritted her teeth as the tornado cut across her body and pain filled her. She clenched her fists and concentrated. She had to get out of this tornado before it shred her apart. Moving her arms together she concentrated to summon every amount of energy she had to try and summon some kind of air magic. She spread her arms apart...
But nothing came...
Damn it! How can I fail!? Maybe I am pathetic and weak...
After a minute the tornado vanished. She fell to the ground on her knees in pain and exhaustion. She was breathing hard as the attack took a lot out of her and she was already pretty beaten up. Looking up she noticed that Erigor was gone from his place he was standing a minute ago.
Kera looked around but couldn't find him. Slowly she got back on her feet but slightly cringed. Turning around towards the station she almost fainted. There was a huge tornado surrounding the whole station. The others were probably still in there!
"What the…" Kera asked shocked, but suddenly heard a chuckle behind her.
She quickly turned around but got stabbed in the stomach with the end of a scythe. The air was forced out of her again, but that wasn't it, she felt a kick to her face and was sent back.
She skidded across the ground and when she stopped she groaned in pain. She got back to her feet but it took a while. Kera glared at Erigor with pure hatred. "What… did you do?" She snarled.
Erigor laughed. "Don't you like it? It's a Wind Barrier. It took me a while to get it prepared but it's a fine spell. It traps anyone in it. Anybody can get in, but nobody can get out."
The others are trapped in there!
Suddenly she heard wind beside her. Turning around her eyes went wide as Erigor was engulfed by massive winds. Erigor laughed. "Let's see how you can stand my Emera Baram!" He said before placing his two index and middle fingers in an X-shape in front of him and out of the seals a concentrated blast of wind blades were headed straight for Kera.
She just stood there paralyzed at the attack. She knew this was over.
Erza walked out to the balcony of the station seeing all the people in front of the station. She had to get them away from the station just in case Erigor gets the chance to play the lullaby. Looking down to the ground she frowned.
"Everyone leave!" She shouted towards them.
One man frowned. "Why?"
"It's just a precaution. The Dark Guild Eisenwald is planning to play the lullaby. If you don't leave now you will all die!" She shouted.
Immediately the crowd started to panic and not a minute later they all started to run away. Erza sighed in relief. At least they would be safe.
She was about to head back inside but a sudden gust of wind stopped her. Turning around her eyes went wide as she saw a barrier of wind in front of her. It was surrounding the whole station.
"What is that?" She asked to herself. Carefully she walked towards it and touched the wall with her armored hand but it was immediately deflected back and pain shot up her arm. Erza gritted her teeth as she held her arm. "This is bad." She muttered.
Kera, I hope you're alright
Gray snorted as he walked through the halls of the station, trying to find the others. While trying to find Erigor he had stumbled across Rayule. The idiot had told them their true plan and that this was all just a distraction so Erigor could head to Clover Town.
He had to find the others so he could tell them what was going on. And luckily it didn't take him long. He had found Erza back in the station asking all the defeated members how to dispel something.
"Everything alright Erza?" He called out. The red head turned around and locked glances with Gray. "There's a situation. We're trapped inside. There's a Wind Barrier around the station. We can't get out."
"What!? But how are we going to stop Erigor from reaching Clover Town?" He asked.
Erza dropped the man she was holding and turned towards Gray. "What did you just say?"
Gray sighed. "This train station was just a ploy, a distraction. They drew us here so they could start their real plan."
"And what is that?" She asked standing up. She had a hard look on her face. Gray sighed. "Erigor is planning on killing the Guild Masters with Lullaby. He's probably on his way to Clover Town now!"
Erza gritted his teeth. "Damn it, we need to get out of here." She stated while looking around. They had to get to the masters and Erigor to stop his plans. Lullaby could kill thousands of people.
"Guys!" a voice called out. Turning around the two wizards saw Lucy and Natsu walking in with an unconscious Kageyama dragged behind them. He seemed to be in bad shape, probably because Natsu dealt with him.
But Kera was still nowhere to be found and this worried the red head.
"What happened?" Gray asked as he took a glance at the unconscious man behind them.
Lucy sighed shuddering slightly. "Well I ran into Natsu trying to find that one guy but when I got there he was fighting Kageyama. Then when Natsu was about to defeat him that guy stabbed Kageyama in the back."
Natsu nodded. "Yea, what kind of people would do that to their own guild mate?"
"Where's Kera?" Lucy asked noticing that the brunette wasn't there at all.
Erza sighed while rubbing her face. "We don't know, she still hasn't shown up or anything."
Lucy looked away as worry washed over her as well. She didn't know Kera that long at all, even if she knew her at all, but she still was worried.
Natsu smirked. "Well what are we doing here? We still need to find Erigor!"
"He's headed to Clover Town." Gray told them. "He's planning on killing the guild masters."
"WHAT!" Natsu yelled. Without a warning he ran to the outside of the station and saw the wind wall. Gritting his teeth he ran straight towards it with the intention to go through it. With his fists aflame he hit the wall.
"Natsu don't!" Erza yelled, but it was already too late. Natsu was about to hit the wind barrier but something stopped him.
Lucy noticed his strange behavior. "Natsu, what's wrong?"
"That smell… it's…" Before the Dragon Slayer could finish his sentence something came crashing through the wind barrier.
"Kera!" Lucy yelled in shock.
It was indeed Kera. She came crashing through the wind barrier hitting the ground and then the back wall with a lot of force. She slumped to the ground not moving at all. A laughter was heard from across the barrier. "Truly pathetic! And you claimed to have gotten stronger! Hah, Fairy Tail is just pathetic. You haven't even gotten better in your air magic. I'll be on my way now. Have fun trapped inside the station."
Erza ran to Kera's side picking her slightly up and laying her in her lap. "Kera, come on Kera, wake up."
Natsu snarled. "ERIGOR!" He yelled punching the barrier but was pushed back.
"Natsu stop it! Don't be stupid!" Gray shouted at him. "We have bigger issues at the moment!"
Erza shook her head. "She's not waking up or reacting to anything." Lucy tried to help her but there was nothing working. "I'm utterly useless." She mumbled.
Gray glanced over at the red head. After a few minutes of silence where the red head tried waking up Kera he finally dared to ask the question that was on all of their minds. "Erza, how does Kera know Erigor?" He asked.
Everyone looked at her wanting to know the exact same question, just they were too afraid to ask.
Erza sighed while shaking her head. She really didn't want to tell them, thinking Kera should tell them herself, but she was out cold and the others would keep bothering her until she told them. So that's why she just went for it. "It's a bit complicated. A few years back right after she became an S-Class wizard, Kera took on a mission. A simple one actually, but since she was new being a S-Class wizard I went with her. Things were going fine actually. We got the mission done, but on the way back we bumped into an assassin that was trying to kill an innocent family. That assassin was Erigor."
The others went quiet as Erza continued. "Like you can see, Erigor uses wind magic. He somehow got us separated and Kera fought Erigor while I was trying to get back to her. They had fought but Kera was definitely at a disadvantage."
"How can she be at a disadvantage? She's an Elemental Dragon Slayer." Lucy pointed out as to what they had told her about Kera.
Erza nodded. "Yes, but she has a small problem. She isn't able to use all four elements. Her strongest elements are fire and water. She has no experience with earth and air."
"But why?" Lucy asked again.
Natsu fell silent but knew where this was going. "That's for another time, but I had to teach her Fire Dragon Slayer magic and Gray taught her some water magic. Since ice and water are somewhat familiar with each other."
"Anyway, since fire is completely useless against a wind mage, Kera got beaten up… badly. When I came back he was taunting her that she couldn't use all four elements even though she was supposed to. After that he gave her a major blow to the head. Kera was out for two weeks." Erza explained in a sad tone.
"I see…" Lucy said in a low whisper. To hear that Kera wasn't able to use all four elements was a shocker. She never heard something like that before. But why couldn't she? Was there something wrong with her magic? Well if they knew she probably wouldn't have this problem.
Suddenly something popped into Happy's mind and quickly changed the topic. "Oh Lucy! I forgot to give you something!" He then got out a golden key and gave it to Lucy.
The Celestial Wizard looked at it confused. "Happy, where did you get this?"
"That's Virgo! Remember? After the Daybreak incident? She wanted to make a contract with you since the old guy got arrested." Happy declared with a smile.
Lucy smirked. "This could actually work! Virgo could dig a hole for us to escape!" Immediately the blonde grabbed the key from the cat and opened the gate. "Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
Expecting the gorilla female to come out, she was actually surprised seeing a young petite female girl in a maiden outfit and pink hair standing right in front of her. She bowed slightly. "You must be my new master."
"Wait, weren't you like… all gorilla like before?" Natsu asked as he pointed the fact out.
Virgo nodded. "I change my form to the way my master would like it, but if you want I can turn back into my former form." With that the girl turned back into her gorilla form. Lucy shrieked. "I like the other form better!"
"As you wish master." Virgo said changing back.
Sighing the blonde got serious. "Okay, can we do the contract later? I need your help at the moment. Could you dig us a hole so we can escape this wind barrier?"
Virgo nodded and immediately obliged. In no time the whole team was outside of the wind barrier. Erza had carried Kera since she was still out cold. While carrying her she had noticed that the brunette had a few injuries.
"Come on, we need to go after Erigor." Gray stated as he immediately jumped onto the car.
Lucy got in the car as well as Erza laid Kera in there. They also threw Kageyama in there because Gray insisted it and maybe he would be able to help. She ordered Lucy to make sure Kera was alright and to keep an eye on her, but that's when something came to her mind.
Looking around she saw that one pink haired Dragon Slayer and a flying blue cat were missing. She frowned. "Natsu…"
Hope you guys liked it! Hope the longer chapter was somewhat of an apology for the long wait time.
