Lucy and Siena got caught up in their own battle against Yukana. It was a surprising reveal when Siena revealed that she knew Stealth. That gives her the upper hand against Yukana. Siena turned herself invisible again and Yukana was on the lookout for anything.
"Come out and show yourself." Yukana said, but she felt herself getting pounded around from all directions as she felt punches and kicks. Siena really knew how to fight. Yukana felt her hair was pulled and tossed to the ground.
'This is great.' Siena thought. 'She can't see or even hear me. Taking her down will be easier than I thought.' Yukana stood back up and was annoyed with all this.
"I might not be able to see you, but that doesn't mean I can't fight." Yukana said. "Rage, Blizzard!" She created a snowstorm from her magic and attacked everything that was in her sight. Even though Siena was invisible, she got hit pretty hard by that blizzard. The snow pelting her gave away where she was and Yukana could see her. "There you are!" Yukana shot out another blast of snow and knocked her off her feet and caused her to reveal herself. "Not the best assassin, are you?"
"I'm not really trying to be one." Siena said. "I'm not cold hearted monster like you seem to be. I would never use magic to kill people."
"Fool. You have to be an idiot not to use magic to its full potential." Yukana said as she was about to attack agai, but the ground broke up under her and Lucy came up in her Virgo Star Dress and kicked her back.
"She's not your only opponent, remember?" Lucy said.
"Damn it." Yukana complained. "Focus, Yukana. You're dealing with two opponents at the same time here."
"Siena, are you hurt?" Lucy asked.
"No. I'm okay." Siena said as she got back up. "We have to put an end to this fight. Are you up for a team finisher?"
"Sounds good to me." Lucy said.
"You actually think you can beat me? I'm one of E.R." Yukana said. "You two little prissy guild members don't stand a chance against me."
"Says the girl who's getting beaten around." Lucy said and she changed again into her Tauros Form. She used her whip and got it around Yukana.
"No. There's no way I'm going to let you beat me." Yukana said as she tried to get free.
"That's what you think." Lucy said. She smacked her whip against the ground and her strength caused the ground to break apart again and caused Yukana to lose her balance. "Now, Siena!"
"Ready!" Siena said. Lucy pulled Yukana towards them. Siena pulled her leg back to attack.
"Lucy Kick!" Both of them gave Yukana a strong kick in the stomach. Yukana was sent flying into a building.
…
Hitomo
Hitomo decided to go on his own to try and find the enemy. So far, he hasn't had any luck.
"Hitomo!" Hitomo looked behind him and saw Gray and Laurence. This time, Erza was with the two of them.
"Have you had any luck?" Laurence asked.
"Not yet." Hitomo said. They didn't had to do much talking for they heard some sort of crash sound and it didn't sound like it was so far.
"What was that?" Erza asked.
"It sounds like someone is in a fight. Let's go check it out." Gray said as all four of them went to investigate.
…
Lucy and Siena
With their combined power, Lucy and Siena gave Yukana a powerful finishing blow and she ended up getting knocked out.
"Yeah! We did it!" Both of the girls cheered as they high-fived each other.
"I'm glad we won, but did you really just name a simple kick Lucy Kick?" Siena said. "How could you write such an amazing book, but have such a lame attack name?"
"Hey!" Lucy said as she felt a bit offended, but decided to let it slide. "Oh who cares? The point is, we were able to take down another member of E.R.6. and now that means there's only three of them left." That was nice to here, but the nice didn't last. Out of nowhere, something shot Siena in the back and cleared through her body. She dropped and the pain was unbearable. "Siena!" Lucy didn't get to treat the injury as she was hit with something as well and it went right through her as well. She dropped to the ground. Both of them were in a lot of pain with some blood flowing out of them.
"That looks like it hurts." Both of them looked to see Bron walking in their direction. Bron looked over at Yukana and saw she was out like a light. "I can't believe Yukana was beaten like the others. Then again, we're dealing with two powerful guilds."
"H….How did you do that?" Lucy said.
"You mean what did I just do to the both of you?" Bron said. "It's known as Piercing Magic. With the right amount of power, this magic can even pierce through steel easily. I decided not to beat around the bush and try to go for the killing blow."
"Lucy!"
"Siena!" All of them looked to the side and saw Erza, Gray, Laurence, and Hitomo arriving just in time.
"What happened?" Erza said. Laurence looked around and he was able to figure out easily.
"It looks like Lucy and Siena were able to defeat one member of E.R., but it looks like another just struck them down." Laurence said.
"You did that to Lucy and Siena? You're going to pay for that." Gray said. Gray and Erza looked ready to fight, but they sensed great magic power radiating and it was coming from right behind them. Laurence knew who it was and knew to stay out of the way.
"I've had enough of this." Hitomo said as he stepped forward and they all could feel the intense heat that was coming from him. "I've had enough of this senseless destruction. It was one thing to attack an innocent city, but completely another to strike down people. This isn't what magic is meant for."
"You're the one who's a member of the Ten Wizard Saints." Bron said. "To be honest, I'm not intimidated. That just sounds like a fancy title. Besides, I know about you. You're considered the weakest member of all the wizard saints. It's not really something people should be scared of."
"Careful with what you say." Hitomo said.
"Hold on. Is he going to take on a member of E.R. by himself?" Erza questioned.
"That's crazy. It takes about two of us to defeat just one member." Gray said.
"Trust me when I tell the both of you, we better stay out of the way." Laurence said. "Hitomo's Fire Magic is very powerful. Even when he falls, he gets back up. That's why he's been given the title Hitomo Phoenix."
"This would be so much easier if you all would have just stayed out of the way. You would have lived much longer." Bron said.
"Why are you still running that mouth? If you truly think you're superior to us, just show it." Hitomo said.
"Fine, but you asked for it." Bron said. "My Piercing Magic can get through anything." Bron held up his arm and shot out a beam of white light and was heading straight for Hitomo. Hitomo raised his arm and shot out a blast of fire that intercepted the attack and the two colliding spells caused an explosion. Hitomo used that explosion as cover and jumped into the air.
"I've got you now." Hitomo said.
"Think again." Bron said as he just disappeared and reappeared behind Hitomo. "Spiral Pierce!" Bron shot out another beam with a spiral around it.
"Hitomo, look out!" Gray called out.
"It's fine." Laurence said for he didn't seemed worried at all. Hitomo formed a wall of fire and it consumed the spell and stopped it.
"What?!" Bron said.
"Your level of magic power pales in comparison to mine." Hitomo said.
"His use of Fire Magic is impressive." Erza said as she along with Lucy and Gray were amazed by his power. "He generates fire so quickly. I can barely keep up with him." Hitomo kept the fight going as he formed multiple fireballs around him.
"I told you that I had enough of this senseless destruction." Hitomo said. "Fire Swarm!" He swiped two fingers horizontally and the fireballs charged at Bron and they all battered against him and had moved back a few feet.
"No way!" Bron said. Hitomo decided that enough was enough and decided to end this fight. He placed two fingers against the ground and a ring of fire formed around Bron.
"This ends!" Hitomo said. "Phoenix Ascending!" The ground under Bron erupted into a burst of fire and took the form of a phoenix. It greatly damaged and burned Bron.
"Unbelievable!" Erza said as they were all amazed by his power. "Now I see why he was declared one of the Ten Wizard Saints."
"He did it! Hitomo single-handedly took down a member of E.R.! He even made it look easy!" Gray said as Bron dropped to the ground and was defeated so easily.
"That's one less problem to worry about." Hitomo said and turned his attention to the girls. "These two need medical help."
"Wendy knows healing spells. She can help both of them." Erza said.
"We should probably find her. I think she took off with Natsu." Gray said.
"Good idea. I'll inform the guards about those tow." Hitomo said. Four down and only two to go. This unit of E.R. is nearing defeat.
…
Natsu and Wendy
With Carla and Happy carrying them, Natsu and Wendy took to the sky to try and find where E.R.6. was attacking.
"Nothing so far." Wendy said.
"We better keep looking. We can't leave anything to chance." Carla said.
"Wait." Natsu said and had them all stop flying. Natsu sniffed the air.
"Do you sniff something? If it's fish, just lead the way." Happy said.
"Stop thinking with your stomach." Carla said.
"It's that girl again. The one that uses those freaky plants." Natsu said.
"You mean Natalia? Where is she?" Wendy said.
"That way." Natsu said as he pointed to the forest just outside of the city. "She's there."
"Hold on. Remember that she has all those plants on her side." Happy said. "She even has some freaky ones that can breathe in fire."
"Yes. If we go in there, we'll be facing her in an area where she has the advantage." Carla said.
"We don't have a choice. We've got to stop all of E.R. and that includes her." Wendy said. All of them agreed to it and flew for the forest. What they missed was that when they flew by, Nagare spotted them and he seemed intent on heading there himself.
