Chapter 13: Unwanted Reunion

No one's POV

"Shield?"

"Hello, Alya."

"Wait a minute, you know this creep?" Gray asked. Alya simply nodded. Her eyes were locked on 'Shield'. The pain in her eyes was very noticeable. It was obvious that they had some sort of painful past together. "This is Shield Amor. He, Alya, and I were a part of team back when we were with Phoenix Center," Luna explained.

Shield had spiky sea green hair that complemented his crystal blue eyes. He wore a black jacket vest over a midnight blue t-shirt. His black shorts went to his knees and his black combat boots had silver chains on them. He had his own sword attached to his back. Shield stood a few feet in front of the group with a sly look.

"You were partners with this weirdo?" Natsu questioned. The exceed nodded.

"Why are you here?" Erza asked sternly.

"Same as you. To eradicate these dark mages," Shield responded blankly.

"What?!" Natsu yelled.

"We were here to stop them not kill them," Happy argued.

"Why, Shield, why would you do this?!" cried Luna. He smirked at her question. "Master's orders. They failed to pay their monthly tribute to our guild and as punish I came to extract their magic powers." The Fairy Tail mages gasped. "But they resisted. So I had to end their lives as well."

"How could you!" Lucy whimpered.

"It was quite simple. They didn't even put up much a fight," he laughed darkly.

"You bastard! You will pay for your crimes," Erza yelled.

"Alright, I'm ready to kick some butt," Natsu punched his fist together.

"No," Alya finally spoke. They all snapped their heads to looked her. Her sad look was replaced with a serious one. "I should be the one to fight him. We have some old problems we need to work out." The others were shocked that she wouldn't want them to fight him. "That is why we can't let you fight him alone," Lucy countered. Alya turned to face her. "I'm not alone. I know that you guys have my back if needed." She smiled.

"But-," Lucy tried to argue, but Gray placed his hand on her shoulder cutting her off. She looked up at him. "We have to let her do this. She can handle herself," He said still not making eye contact with her. Alya gave him a thankful look before turning to face Shield. The fairies took a few steps back to give them some space.

"It will be a pleasure to take down the guild's traitor," Shield glared. Alya didn't counter his insult. She exchanged her bow of her dual katanas. In a blink of an eye, Alya launched at Shield. He outstretched his hand with his palm facing the dark haired mage running towards him. "Hail Storm," Golf ball sized ice projectiles flew from his hand towards Alya. She slashed her swords at them, breaking every one that came her way. One of her swords was exchanged for three throwing knives. "Exploding Knives," She threw her arm to the side releasing the knives mid-way. They landed in front of Shield. They set off an explosion and formed a smoke cloud. Shield jumped out of the cloud first with only scratches. Alya soon followed, slashing her swords left and right. He dodged them just as fast as she was delivering the blows. "Lightning Storm," Shield chanted. Alya was knocked to the ground with a thud. Shield landed on his feet. "The fact you are still using your requip magic means your Fairy Tail friends don't know your real magic or is it that you are too scared," Shield questioned.

"That is none of your business and not what is important the moment," Alya rose to her feet, "You're not acting the same. You used to love fighting, but you hated killing people. What you've done to Blood Fang is something the Shield I knew would never do."

"The Shield you knew is long gone."

"I don't believe that." Shield tossed his arm the side sending a gust of wind that hurled Alya back. She hit a pillar with a bang. She shrieked at contact. She shakily gazed at her old friend. "Fine! If you can't except this then I'll have to kill you like the other mages," Shield yelled. He raised his hand to the sky as a wind circled his palm. "I'm sorry Alya, but this has to be done. Cyclone," A wind tunnel escaped from his hand and fired at Alya. She braced for impact, but it never came. Instead she heard, "Ice Make: Shield." Alya was amazed to see that, half-naked, Gray had blocked Shield's attack. "Like you said 'we have your back when you need it,'" Gray smirked at her.

"That's nice and all, but where is your shirt," she replied. Gray's sweat dropped. "Now is really not the time." He dropped his shield and walked over to help Alya while the others joined the battle. Natsu ignited his fist and charged at the green haired mage. "Ah, so I see you're a fire mage," Shield inquired. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist." Natsu threw a punch at Shield, who evaded left. "And you're a dragon slayer." Shield froze his feet and kicked Natsu in the gut sending him into the air.

Lucy saw this as an opening. "Open gate of the Archer: Sagittarius." Sagittarius appeared beside her with his bow aimed and ready. "How de do, milady." He fired an arrow that multiplied into tens of other arrows. Shield flicked his hand upward which caused the arrows to be redirected to Natsu's direction. The arrows scraped the fire dragon's skin as he screamed in pain. "Natsu!" cried Lucy. Seeing that both the celestial mage and spirit were distracted, Shield swiftly moved behind Sagittarius. "Wild Fire," a stream of fire engulfed the zodiac. "Sagittarius!" shrieked Lucy.

"You yell a lot, don't you, blondie?" Shield teased. Lucy furiously snapped her whip at him. He caught it with his froze hand. He tightened his grip and pulled Lucy towards him. She tried to punch him, but, of course, he caught it with his free hand. "Frostbite." He whispered. The celestial mage could feel her arm began to freeze. The cold slowly reached to the rest of her body, freezing her entire body. "No, Lucy!" Natsu yelled.

"Wow, you fairies are a loud bunch," Shield said sarcastically. "Re-quip!" Erza changed into her Black Wing Armor. She swung her sword down that was met with Shield's. "So you use armor re-quip magic. Interesting, but I know your armor doesn't make you invincible." She pushed him back a few feet. She let out a battle cry before leaping forward. Having regained his balance, he launched forward as well. The swords clashed again and again. The room echoed with each hit. They stopped going back and forth, and had their swords locked together. It came down to a battle of strength, each one exerting equal force. "I got you right where I want, Titania," Shield muttered. He grabbed her exposed bicep with one hand still on the sword. "Drought." Erza dropped to her feet coughing frantically.

"W-w-what did y-you do," Erza croaked. Shield knelt down in front of her. "My Drought spell absorbs half of the water in your body," he smirked, "So you might be thirsty for a while."

"Bastard!" yelled Natsu. He punched Shield square in the face, sending away from Erza. Shield recovered quick, "Monsoon Winds," he swept his arm to side. A strong gust of wind encircled Natsu, who was flung into the back wall.

"Natsu!" yelled Gray. He began to get up, but was stopped by Alya. "Gray, you have to be careful of Shield's magic. His weather magic allows him to cancel out both yours and Natsu's magic. You've also seen what he can do to you if you get too close."

Gray smiled at her. "I know. We can handle this creep. You try to help Erza and Lucy the best you can." She nodded. The two ran off into different directions.

Alya found the two exceeds hiding behind a nearby pillar. "Luna! Happy! Move Lucy to a safe place. If she cracks it leaves permanent damage to her body." The exceeds didn't waste time. The two each grabbed an arm and hovered Lucy to their hiding spot. Alya had some trouble bringing Erza to a safety. Curse her heavy armor, thought Alya. She sat Erza up against a wall next to where the exceeds put Lucy.

"What are we going to do?" asked Happy.

"I'm not sure," sighed Alya, "These spells aren't easily reversible. It could take hours for the ice to melt off of Lucy and Erza would need to drink a ton of water to regain what she lost." She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small container of water. "You two find as much water as you can." Luna and Happy sprouted their wings and flew in different directions. Alya opened her water canister, and helped Erza, who didn't bother to swallow, drink it. "Thank you, Alya," Erza's voice was extremely raspy.

"More water is on the way, so hang on," Alya gave the red head a calming smile. She knew what Erza was going through. Shield used that spell on her before. Your body feels weak and you have a dizzy sickly feeling. Shield… What happened to you? Alya thought while fighting to hold back her tears.

"Ice Make: Lance." Shield jumped out of the way of Gray's ice. He landed on his feet and punched the floor. "Volcanic Eruption." Fire exploded from the ground beneath Gray. He fell to his knees. "You're not bad. You're certainly better than the other ice mages I've fought, but this fight will still end them same," said Shield.

"Not if I have anything to say about it! Fire Dragon's Talon." Natsu jumped over Gray and side kicked Shield in the gut. The weather mage skidded across the floor. "Get up, Gray. We still have to cream him for messing with our friends." Gray nodded and shakily stood next to the dragon slayer.

"Why are you people defending Alya?" Shield questioned, "If you knew the secrets she's hiding from you, you would feel the same way as I do. Betrayed that a so called friend has keep something like this from you." His hands were balling into fist. Natsu stepped forward. "We're defending her because she is a part of our family. If she doesn't want to tell us, that's fine, she is still our nakama and we will always protect her." Natsu answered confidently. Shield grinded his teeth and glared at the pinkette. His anger softened to a chuckle. "We said the same thing, but look where that got us. My old friend and I are on opposing sides. This happens when you find about her true self."

"Geez you make her sound like she is some sort of demon," Gray scoffed.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she was," Shield said blankly.

"Enough talk. We are going to make you pay," Natsu said while charging with a flaming hand. Shield raised his hand in front of himself. "Rainstorm+ Snow Storm Combo Attack." A grey cloud formed above Natsu. Ice and water projectiles came from the cloud and pounded him into the ground.

Grayhit his palm with his fist. "Ice Make: Impact." A large ice hammer hovered above Shield. The rose his free hand to the ice. Fire expelled from his hand, destroying the ice. "Your ice isn't going to work on me," Shield said calmly.

"Oh yah let's see about that. Ice Make: Geyser." Gray's spell was intercepted by Shield's volcanic eruptions. "Like I said," Shield smirked.

"Man, this guy is tough," Gray mumbled to himself. He turned to see how Alya was doing. She was giving Erza water from one of the many water jugs near her. I just don't see how Alya can be as bad as Shield makes her to be, Gray thought. Gray swiftly dodged another attack. "Don't go spacing out in the middle of a fight," Shield warned.

"Ice Make: Sword." Gray swung his ice sword at the green haired mage, who dodge his swings, but some did leave scratches. Shield grabbed hold of the sword and radiated heat from his hands, melting the sword. "Heat Wave," whispered Shield. Gray took a step back. Sweat raced down his face as he panted heavily. "You see, my heat wave spell uses your own cold body temperature and cancels it out. It proves highly effective on ice mages."

"Curse you," Gray croaked.

"Fire Dragon's Roar," Fire was met with water. "So you can still stand," Shield chuckled. Natsu stood in front of Gray, "How dare you hurt my friends," he said, fire radiating off him. He threw a few punches at the Phoenix Center member, but he blocked them. Shield gripped Natsu's fist. He kneed him in the stomach, then karate chopped him in the back. He swiped his arm to the side, causing Natsu to fly into a pillar. "Please you Fairy Tail members are pathetic. I was able to beat you all," Shield boasted.

"Not all of us," said Luna. Shield turned to face the exceed. She was in her human form with a metal bo staff in her hands, next to her was Alya, who was gripping her dragon bow in one hand.

"So you two want a wanna give it a try."

"Yep and we intend to win."

The tension is strong in this chapter (yes, I love Star Wars... don't judge me). This is a two part fight scene that will continue next chapter. I am behind on this story, but I can tell you that Alya past will be reveled soon and it will mostly clarify why Shield is acting how he is. Quick reminder, one more OCs is still being excepted.
