"Well hello Titania-darling, I wish to tie up loose ends."

The younger fighter glared as she shifted slightly from one foot to the other as she held her fists to her chin, protecting her face which still wasn't clear of any bruising. She intended not to take anymore damage. The sight of Yosei and Minerva thinking they were gonna try and take her down only made her adrenaline pump, fueling her blood lust. Erza knew within seconds a fight would be unraveling, and within a few minutes, someone will be on the ground. She had to act to attack fast and defend herself twice as hard.

Before Erza could think about her situation properly, she saw Minerva sprint straight at her. The wrathful expression on the older girl's face made Erza question this girl's sanity like she did in the ring, the events of that night played through her mind. She knew that this girl would show no mercy and she knew that this will be more intense than a regular underground boxing match. Street fights consisted of no rules, so basically anything goes. Erza had not been in too many street fights in fact, she often tried to avoid them, considering they made her absolutely no money and they were more dangerous and unpredictable.

The scarlet haired teenager brought her hands up to her face to defend herself, she bent over to the side to quickly dodge a punch that Minerva tried landing on her face. She countered with a quick jab and heard Minerva grunt as she landed a hook to the side of the girl's stomach. "You're going to regret that." She heard Minerva snap through gritted teeth. Erza sighed let out a quick breath, "You keep saying that and yet you do nothing about it."

"TITANIA!" Minerva hollered as she attacked forcefully, letting her rage take over her movements. Erza kept her hands up to block the fighter's powerful punches, but still peeked through to keep her sights on her. She's too angry, if she doesn't stop then fatigue will get to her soon. Minerva attacked with a cross, Erza dodged but fell into her opponent's left fist, busting her lip. Minvera chuckled and delivered a low kick to the back of Erza's leg, knocking her down. She rolled to the side at the last second, causing Minerva's closed fist to make sweet contact with the street. She pulled her hand back in pain and the red haired fighter used this opportunity to jump back to her feet.

Erza watched as the girl coughed and tried to catch her breath, all the while she kept her sight on Yosei who circled them and watched. Preparing to jump in on the action any minute now. What is her play? Is she using Minerva to tire me out? Erza shifted her gaze from both fighters, careful not to focus on one for too long. She grunted and sucked her teeth as she felt Minerva land another low kick to her shin, she struggled to deal with the pain and keep her balance at the same time but still managed. This only aggravated Erza more, did these people really go to the extent to follow her and then attack her because they lost? As much as she was mad, she blamed herself for not being careful enough.

The scarlet haired girl had enough, she fired a few more powerful punches to Minerva. Some of them landing, and some of them not. She didn't care, she used all of her force and pushed Minerva to the side so she could get her hands on Yosei. I am ending this. Erza felt herself not even feeling anger anymore, she was not one to be messed with. Now what she was feeling was pure rage and as she sprinted closer to Yosei, she felt it intensify. "How..dare you!" She shouted as she came up to Yosei and started throwing hit after hit after hit.

Yosei swiftly defended most of the attacks coming from Erza, but still managed to take some damage. She ducked to the side to dodge a punch and responded to that with a jab to the girl's face and then a cross. "You got me out of a lot of money Titania!" She hissed in anger. Attacking the young teen again. "Do you know how many important people placed their bets on me? I was way more of relevance than you'll ever be!" Yosei went in for a roundhouse kick to try and finish the red head off. Erza roughly caught her by the ankle and pulled her leg so she would lose balance and fall, only to be greeted by a vengeful Minerva attacking her from behind. She quickly turned around and backed up, and began to fight with Minerva once more as Yosei regained strength.

"I was undefeated, that money was paying off my debt." She hissed, Erza honestly didn't care what their struggles were. They weren't exactly the best of people, and Erza knew they dabbled in far worse than underground fighting. They were snakes, untrustworthy, and obviously, couldn't handle not getting what they wanted. "Doesn't...matter..now does..it?" Erza said between pants as she hopped around her opponent quickly, attacking with quick but powerful punches. "I'm champion now, and you're... arrogance... is what made... you fall.. in the first place."

Erza backed up two steps to the side so she could get a clear view of both opponents without having to turn her back on the other, she witnessed Yosei get back on her feet and into fighting stance. She would have two underground fighters coming at her throat now, and she knew that fatigue and dehydration would get to her soon. Find their critical points, hit them and finish this quick. Erza tried to evaluate her situation in her mind, the sky was already covered in pitch black. The cold air was settling in, and all she wanted to do was end this extreme quarrel quickly. Yosei cocked her neck to the side to crack it before making her way up to Erza again, she jabbed at her quickly bringing her hand back to protect her face as she finished each punch.

Erza smirked as she stepped into an opening, grabbed the green haired girl by the collar of her thick gray denim jacket and pulled her to the side, roughly slamming her into the huge thin glass display window of a small music shop. The force of contact caused the glass to quickly crack and then shatter, Erza watched her success as if it was in slow motion. Yosei shielded her face with her arms as glass came crashing down on her, causing several deep and small cuts on her biceps, side, and thighs.

I hope this area isn't infested with security cameras. Erza turned around to now face Minerva once more, figuring that last blow would buy her time from Yosei. "My bad about your friend. What do they say? Once trash always trash?" She teased at Minerva, she wasn't usually this sarcastic and bitchy but this was a special circumstance. "You speak of arrogance as if you have none yourself." Minerva brought her hands to her face and Erza watched as her lips formed into a sinister smile. The dark haired fighter attacked Erza first, causing her opponent to bring her hands over her face as a defense. She ducked to the side to dodge a hit and quickly got up into her proper stance.

Erza let out a breath, she was tired, she was bruised, and most importantly, she didn't want to waste any more of her night on these fighters. She already had her play with them while in the ring, she didn't need to face them on the streets close to her home. Erza took several steps back so there was a about a yard and a half between them. "Where are you going Titania? Afraid of my wrath?" Minerva asked loudly in he raspy tone. Definitely not. The scarlet haired girl started sprinting full force at her opponent, given the limited distance, she wouldn't have maximum strength but she could still manage. For a split second, Erza wrapped her arms around Minerva and took her down. Landing on top of the older girl, Erza had no mercy on her. She attacked with punch after punch after punch, all landing on her opponent's face. Erza's knees were pinning Minerva's arms down so she couldn't use them as a defense.

She watched as the crimson fluid began to spread from Minerva's nose, down to her lips and start to ooze out of the cut next to her eye. She stopped when she saw that Minerva was unresponsive, she glanced down at her knuckles. They were skinned and bruised, they didn't bother at all due to all the adrenaline. She sighed and stood up straight, she hadn't expected for the fight to go on that long. But she did have confidence she would win, considering that she had beaten them before. Hm...I wonder how late it is. She asked in her mind, considering she still had school tomorrow. Why do the most annoying events happen right before school?

Erza let out a deep sigh once more as she turned around at a fast pace, only to feel a strong and sharp pain enter the side of her stomach within seconds. She coughed and looked down, to find a hand covered in a bit of blood wrapped around a thick and long shard of glass. She looked up to face her attacker, it was no other than Yosei. Her light green hair was frizzy and basically all over the place, her lip was cut and bleeding and the look on her face was the exact same look she gave Erza when she had one the championship title. "So this is what stooped to? Landing an off guard blow at me instead of just attacking me face to face? You're a coward." Erza spat at her, only causing Yosei to twist the glass in deeper. "No I am not a coward, this was just more convenient." She hissed, pushing the glass in even deeper. Erza knew better than to swat her arm away or push her off, there was a pretty high chance it would cause the glass to move even more and possibly cut through more fatal areas.

Yosei then released her grip on the glass, but still left it inside the scarlet haired teenager. She used her full force and pushed Erza to the ground, causing her to land flat on her back. Almost knocking the wind out of her. She pulled her long green hair back tightly into a ponytail, gazing down at the coughing girl. She felt a ping of happiness at her success like a psychopath but she didn't care. Without even sparing a glance at the fallen Minerva, she quickly turned around and took her leave. Not wasting a second into getting the hell out of that area.

Erza took several breaths and mentally prepared herself before quickly sitting up, she gasped as the pain took over her stomach and crimson fluid began oozing out even faster. She used her arms and carefully dragged herself over to a brick wall to lean her back against it. That bitch

Erza knew that she was almost five minutes from home in walking distance, the hospital was about a half hour walking distance. Fuck it. She took off her...well Juvia's, loose white sweater off slowly and carefully. Pulling it over her head at dead speed and then sliding it off the part of glass that stuck out in her stomach. There was a very noticeable hole in the sweater, and she instantly felt bad for Juvia even though it wasn't her fault. Erza shivered slightly as the cool night air flowed against her bare skin, causing goosebumps. She was only in a basic black lace bra.

She braced herself mentally before expecting her wound, she knew better than to pull the glass out it was the only thing preventing further blood loss. She took the ripped sweater and tried bandaging around the shard of glass.

The red head pulled out her cell, it was dead. How convenient... She knew Juvia was gonna be worried if she didn't come home tonight but there was nothing she could do, she had to get to a hospital and the closest one was a half hour walk away.

Erza stood up, surprised that she didn't feel that much pain. She slowly walked over to Minerva and checked her pockets to see if there was a phone on her, to her less fortune there was nothing. Erza cursed under her breath, she knew exactly where the hospital was and she knew she could get there before anything serious happened. She held her arm to her stomach, careful not to touch the glass, she used the building for support as she began to walk.

As she walked, she thought about hitching a ride. No, I'd rather not risk being sacrificed or some shit. She glanced around, seeing if anyone was walking the streets but to her luck, they were dead and empty. The only lights that were on were the working streetlights which poorly illuminated the area.

She should've been more careful and attentive, she shouldn't have lost focused on the fallen champion. Nonetheless she wasn't going to whine and beat herself up over it, she wasn't going to be vengeful and waste her time going after Yosei. This only gave her motivation to go back to training, and perfect her style even more.

After what felt like walking for an eternity, Erza finally saw the bright lights coming from the windows of the Hospital. She caught sight if the sign that was written in bright red letters, Emergency. She let out a sigh in relief and said a quick thank you prayer to the Lord on arriving there safely and not in worse condition. She slowly walked through the big automatic sliding doors and let herself collapse into an empty Hospital bed that was stationed to the side against the wall. All eyes fell onto her, the patients in the waiting room and the woman working at the front desk kept her gaze locked on Erza as she frantically picked up the phone.

Erza positioned herself so she was lying on her back with her arm pressed up against her abdomen above her gash. She was more so annoyed rather than scared or upset about her injuries, she just thought about getting back in the gym. She closed her eyes and let whatever happened next happen.

Anddd there you go, chapter 10. School sucks if you must know.
