Okay, so apparently Demon Slayers exist. WHY WASN'T I TOLD?! I was on YouTube and saw a comment about it and got super angry. I CAME UP WITH THAT FIRST IN, LIKE, 2012! WHAT THE FREAK?! I swear, if Angel Slayers pop up, I'm going to scream and commit bloody murder ugh.

Sorry I've been inactive. I've had school, as you all know, and I also had marching band, which took up a lot of time. No, really. I would do my homework until two in the morning and go to school running on two to three hours of sleep. It depends on how many times I woke up during the night too.

But now I'm back! Honestly, marching band ended two weeks ago(we got 7th in Div 3 at state champs) and I've only not been on because I re-downloaded Brave Frontier. I will do my best to update! I am not giving up on my story! Also, anyone who follows me on DeviantArt (same pen name), I posted an update about some stories and where they are, including some hiatus status on a few other stories. I wanna at least get to the halfway point of this before I work on any others.

And also, if I get any references wrong, please tell me in a nice way. I haven't watched Fairy Tail in a while. I've been preoccupied with the Naruto franchise, Vampire Knight, Kill La Kill, and Akame ga Kill. Hehe. I'm sure that you want me to move on now.

Demon Slayers are now Angel Slayers, which means Amber is in some deep trouble! HAHAHAH! That strangely worked out, Song of Hope. Who knew...

My vision turns red with rage.

"Don't mess with me or my family!"

Electricity engulfs my fist and I swing it down to the ground, destroying the earth around me. The cracks line with lightning as the destruction heads toward Iron who jumped in the air.

"You can't hit me with an attack like that!" She smiles wickedly. "You're not what The Reaper is expecting. You're far weaker than she thinks." Her finger curls and the iron spikes around Natsu get closer to his body, some drawing blood. This angers me even more.

"Teme!" I growl, bursting into the air at lightning speed. I hit Iron as hard I possibly could with my weapon. Her skin visibly hardened as my blade comes in contact with her person. I send her flying to the ground, dust rising from the impact. I soar down after her, Alebarda raised at my side for an attack. The dust cleared, revealing Iron with her sword embedded in the ground before her. She slams her hands on the ground, several red magic circles appearing. Thick iron chains shoot out of them, wrapping themselves around my ankles, wrists, waist, and neck. I drop my weapon.

"Can't attack me now, huh?" Her hands form fists on the ground. She lifts them up, pulling up the ends on the iron chains connected to small magic circles on the ground. I smirk comes across her face as she pulls on the chains. I scream in agony as I'm pulled on at every part of my body. I scoff.

"Yeah. I can. You just made yourself a home made lightning rod." Electricity shoots down my limbs and flow through the chains, electrocuting Iron. I drop to the ground, grunting. I lift myself to my feet, my fists curling. I look over at Natsu. The spell seemed to loosen a bit. I punch the ground again, the earth splitting apart. Iron regains consciousness just as she was about to fall into a pit. She rolls over and jumps into the air. I jump after, aiming a kick at her stomach. She blocks with her shin.

We land on the ground, panting.

"You just awakened your powers, and you're this powerful already?" asks Iron with an amazed expression. "How is this possible?"

"I have to get stronger to protect my friends."

"Oh. Scary. Its not like you can hit me with a friendship ray. I should just kill you all."

That did it. "Teme!" I punch the ground as hard as I could and rip apart the landscape. I feel electricity encase me in a layer, giving me energy I never knew I gave. With a burst, I speed forward at a fast speed, stopping right in front of Iron, who just managed to dodge a protruding rock. She blocks my punch but is blown back from the force.

"You want a hand-to-hand fight? You'll lose!" Iron appears in front of me, fist raised, a wicked smile on her face. I gasp, barely managing to block the blow. She continues her high speed punches, hitting me in multiple places while I guard my chest. I finally manage to duck underneath her arm and dodge this blow. I pull my fist back, lightning crackling around it. Iron's grey eyes widen in realization. She left herself open. With new rage I delivered my blow, sending her flying grunted, puling knives out from her belt. She throws them at me, me tumbling to avoid the projectiles.

Iron lands in a crackling clump. Groaning, she glares at me as I stand up. I trudge over to her, holding my stomach, one of my eyes closed. I stand above her.

"You lose."

"Not quite," says Iron with a large smirk.

At the last minute, I see the ground beneath me turn red. Crap!

I try jumping into my air but I'm too late. Iron spikes shoot out of the ground, cutting up my legs and skirt and some of my stomach. I land and collapse, both my stomach and legs hurting too much. Iron laughs like a maniac. I gather the last amount of strength I have before getting up and walking over to her. Her eyes open and she sees me. I raise both fists above my head.

"Goodbye, Angel Slayer."

"Pssh. We'll see each other again. However, next time you'll lose, and I'll be the one delivering the final blow."

I slam my fists down on her, lightning shooting out in all directions and causing the girl beneath me to scream. Once I see that she is finished, I trudge over to Natsu, who's still trapped, and the others.

"Amber!" exclaims Ashlyn, racing toward me, flute in hand.

She throws herself on me in tears, me grunting from the impact.

"Well, I'm embarrassed," says a voice.

We all turn towards Iron's body, seeing a dark cloaked figure to appear. Only her mouth and stunning blood red eyes can be seen from underneath her hood.

"Reaper!" I scream. I grip my stomach in pain. I shouldn't have done that.

The Reaper tilts her head to the side. "What? My subordinate just lost. I'm very embarrassed one of MY henchmen just got owned in a fight. However I expected this to happen. You did better than I would have imagined!"

"Is this some sort of game to you, you sick and twisted woman?! Give our master back!" says Lucy.

"Sick? Twisted? My, I'm hurt." The Reaper's frown turned into a toothy and wicked grin. "Not! It is a game. I need Tonitrua for my grand master plan. But she's not powerful enough. All my pieces are set into play. You just need to overcome them. Its like a maze with chess pieces! Its a maze I control! Doesn't that sound fun?!"

I growl. "I'm not going to play your game! You destroyed the guild hall, took our master, and sent someone to destroy us!"

"I knew you would beat her. You first needed to discover your physical strength. And you found it." She suddenly disappeared. "However, you will never be powerful enough to kill me," I hear next to me ear. I'm suddenly propelled half way across town and then sent flying back. I land on the ground, scraping up my damaged body even more.

"Stop!" cried Ashlyn.

The Reaper's red eyes slowly move over to her. "How dare you, you little brat." The Reaper makes a flicking motion with her finger, sending Ashlyn flying toward me. I barely manage to catch her. "Join your small chance of hope."

"True angels will always triumph over fallen ones, Sakura!" shouts Ashlyn. "Come back to us!"

Sakura? Cherry blossom? That's The Reaper's real name?

Sakura, The Reaper, reaches up and removes her hood. "I'm not in my true form, which is far more terrifying than this. This is my human form."

She's extremely pale, like white with a tint of grey. Her eyelashes are thick and her eyes are red. Her hair is long, black, and straight, with the strands on front of her ears and between her eyes are bright red. A silver band wraps around her head.

"Its a shame I'm not there in person. If I was, I would completely destroy you. Then again, even you and the rest of Fairy Tail are crucial to my plan. Its no fun when you decided to take out a pawn before it gets the chance to become a queen. The game doesn't become challenging, and that's what makes it fun. But you're all where I need you already. Just keep going along with it. Kay?"

"TEME!" I try punching her, but my hand simply goes through her chest. Sakura's red eyes glare into my gold ones. I can feel her searing hate, the loneliness, the sadness, everything. There's more expression hidden there than I once thought. I feel fear rising up in my throat. How am I going to defeat such evil passion? Sakura's frown turned into a grin as her shadowy hand grasps my wrist. I gasp. Its almost as if her hand is real!

"Don't do that, Amber-chan. That's against the rules."

"What rules?"

"The ones I made up. You see, I control this maze. You're all my pieces. My maze, my pieces, my rules."

"You're insane! You're like a little kid!"

That sick, twisted grin turned into a furious frown. She suddenly slams me into the ground. I cough up blood. Her grip on my wrist tightened and I can feel my bones getting ready to break from the pressure. I scream in agony.

"I'm death. I'm no child. I'm just bored."

She throws me back toward Fairy Tail, Ashlyn chasing after me.

"I'll take care of my subordinate. Fairy Tail, take care of your friends." Sakura snaps and the spell on Natsu vanishes. He collapses onto the ground. The Reaper slowly strides over to Iron and snaps, a black magic circle appearing beneath Iron and taking her, her vanishing completely. "I will see you all again! Just continue down the path I've marked for you! Bye! And don't try killing yourself. I'm death. I decide that. And none of you are dying anytime soon. Tata!"

She vanishes in a swirl of shadow.

Sighing a breath of relief, I collapse, the sounds from Fairy Tail and Ashlyn filling me ears as my face meets the harsh cold ground. Everything turns black.

I hope that nice fight scene made up for my absence! Thank you all for being so patient! I'll update as soon as I can!
