Natsu pulled Lucy down and the rest ducked for cover as million of glass shards went flying. A chuckle could be heard as the landed on the floor. Lucy nudged Natsu's hand off of her and glanced up to see the girl that they had saved earlier, wielding a wicked scythe.

"Hehe, Isn't this just fun?" she giggled.

"Tamila? What are you doing here?" Jackson gasped, struggling in his CHAINS.

"Hn?" she glanced over to see Jackson, "Why isn't it the lil-" an iron bar hit her square in the face, sending her flying. She tumbled across the floor before getting back unto her feet. She growled at the man who hit her.

Gajeel stood there, his arm now an iron bar. His glare fixated on Tamila. She grinned as she got up, her top body was loose and hanging till she brought her head up.

"My, someone is impatient,"

She zoomed across the room, her scythe aimed for Gajeel's head. He was able to bring his arm up in time to block, but he was pushed back a bit. Tamila jumped back and was posed to attack again. The two sparred againts eachother till Ezra intervened in her Purgatory armour.

'something's not right' Lucy thought to herself, 'if Seshat wouldn't let us fight in her tower earlier, why is she letting us fight now?'

Lucy dodged for cover as Tamila came flying at her. She dodged in time, Tamila's scythe hit the ground, cracking the floor. Natsu came up from behind Lucy, his fists already aflame. He was able to hit Tamila in the side. Her body skidded towards Gajeel, who smacked her across the floor, where Ezra awaited with her sword.

'Something's defiantly up, this is too easy!' Lucy screamed in her head, crawling away. As she crawled around the broken pieces of the orb, she noticed the pile of CHAINS without Jackson in them. She got up to her feet when she thought she was out of range of the fight.

She inspected the CHAIN, but they disappered in her hands. Her eyes grew big at the sudden disapperence. Her eyes glanced up to see Seshat in the CHAINS. Lucy gasped, fumbling forward, running toward the Goddess.

"S-Seshat, why are you in the chains?" Lucy asked, trying to tug the CHAINS off.

"It seems…that I have been betrayed," She sighed.

"W-what?!" Lucy yelped. She felt the CHAIN become hot under her hands. She looked down to the see the chains unwinding and wrapping her along with Seshta, "Huh?!"

"Oh dear," Seshat said, looking at Lucy, "It seems that someone altered the CHAINS orignal purpose,"

"O-Oh,"

Tamila breathed heavily. Blood ran down her shoulders and unto to the scythe. Her left arm seemed to be dislocated. She glared at the three mages that stood before, all prepped up for another attack. Gajeel took a step forward, but was immediately pushed back. A dark purple magic circle appeared underneath Tamila's feet.

She grinned wickedly and dark power surged into her. Her body stood up tall and the blood flow stopped. Her left arm became normal once again. Tamila lifted up her scythe, ready in a fighting stance.

"What the hell?" Gajeel growled.

"Heh," Tamila chuckled. She was about to attack but was stopped. Another man appeared at the door, his steps were light as he came in.

"The old man!" Happy gasped.

"Quatz," Ezra said.

Jackson appeared behind Quatz, trottering behind quietly. The two seemed to walk between the opposing forces and towards Seshat and Lucy. Ezra did a double take to see the Lucy was tied up with Seshat.

"Lucy?!"

"Don't ask," she groaned.

The older man smiled down at the tied-up Goddess, "It seems my plans are being fufilled despite the little," he glanced over to the Fairy Tail mages, "disturbance,"

Seshats eye glowed a brillant yellow, "Well…I do hope it dosent put a stop to your story….Erio" she smiled sarcastically. Quatz glared at her.

"Erio?" Lucy asked.

"Don't think I didn't noticed. My dear Quatz was dead before my summons. Rushlan, the other child of the trio, had summoned him before I," Seshat explained.

"So, you did know…." The elder man said. Jackson looked up in confusion and Tamila eyes glazed over, "but no matter, my army is coming."

"Like hell I would let that happen!" Natsu rashly attacked the old man, only to be kicked back by Tamila. Her eyes now shined purple and her skin turned dark, "What the..?!"

"By taking this body," Erio mentioned to himself, "I gained control over Quatz magic, which includes bringing back the dead,"

"You don't mean…" Ezra face paled. Gajeel grimaced, while Natsu looked back forth between Erio and Ezra.

"Wait, who is that, what did he mean by the dead?" his ears perked up and he turned around, facing the door. There stood a little girl with a pink dress and a backpack. Her skin was burned and dark, and she was holding on to an arm larger then hers.

"uughhh," she said, small tears could barley form at the corners of her ruined eyes, "ch, ma…"

Ezra covered her mouth in shock. That was a body of a little girl she had seen laying on the ground back in town. Another person appeared behind the girl, this time it was an older male. His skin was also burnt, but was missing an arm.

Suddenly more dead people poured in the room. Ezra pushed Natsu and Gajeel back, while Lucy struggled to get up, but Seshat wouldn't budge.

"There's too many!" Ezra yelled. She pushed her friends to the back, towards the window.

'My dear daughter…'

Levy's head whipped up to see Seshat behind. What are you doing here?! You and everyone else is in danger!

'I know, that's why I came to you….we need to switch our positions as hidden and seen…'

Levy's eyes grew big, 'switch?! I thought…we couldn't do that…'

'we can't…but if we focus both our powers, we might be able to hold it for a few moments of time and be able to release the spell that my poor son had caused to backfire back at me and trap your friend beside me,'

I-I see…but who is Erio? Levy asked. Seshat eyes narrowed and slightly glowed.

'when the spell is dispersed, warn the girl. he will get what he wants to revive…them…'

Them? Seshat what do you mean?! Levy yelled, but Seshat quickley grabbed ahold of Levy's hand.

'there is no time!' she hissed, 'quickly warn and escape before something else happens!'

A harsh wind blew around them and their bodies shined like gold. Their eyes were wide open as light shined through.

Despite the invasion of dead people coming for them, Lucy was staring at Seshat. Her eyes started to shine, and subtle changes were happening to her body. Her hair grew shorter and back to blue, even her hieght was shorten. The CHAINS suddenly disappered around the two.

Lucy freed her arms and saw a hand come in her view. She looked up to see Levy standing there.

"We got to run, Lucy!"
