Chapter 14
At the castle…
"No! Don't!" A woman screamed as hooded figures dragged her to a big room with other figures in the same garb.
The room was spacious and looked like it was built to hold a huge throne but in the place of the throne a large mirror stood with an ornate frame and had very intricate patterns and a symbol related to the Fairy Tail symbol but it had fire patterns around it.
"Let me go!" The woman yelled and she was brought to the front of the mirror.
"Throw her in!" a man with a rough voice yelled.
They threw the woman and the mirror glowed and she went through the glass.
"Another success." The man said.
"Yes sir, but it seems that it won't last for long." One of the figures that dragged the woman in said.
"Say what?" he asked.
"Apparently two of the many guilds have shown up in town."
"Who are they?"
"Fairy Tail and Saber Tooth master!" one of the other figures answered.
He looked to find two wizards, a man and a woman that looked alike and ordered, "Go after them and make sure they don't come into the castle! We don't want to risk the mirror get into Magic Council hands!"
"Yes sir!" the both of them exclaimed and left.
Back outside…
We ran towards the castle to prove to the townspeople who we are and rescue the lost ones and take out the guild so Fairy Tail and Saber Tooth get their glory as two of the prized guilds as I took it. At least I didn't have to go through it with home unless you count the Wardens as their own guild.
Once we reached the castle drawbridge, we decided to split up! Me with Natsu, Happy, Grey, Erza, Sting, Lecter, Gajeel, and Lily while Molly went with Lucy, Wendy, Carla, Yukino, Rogue, and that Kermit!
"Man! For a huge castle like this I bet there would be guards everywhere!" Natsu exclaimed as we walked.
"With all the stuff that's been going on maybe they were the first to vanish." Happy said.
"Whatever's the case, I rather not be taken away and be used for that mirror experiment." Grey said.
"Harry, when you saw that picture of the mirror, you had a look of familiarity on your face do you know what it is?" Erza asked.
"I think so, it was the same kind of mirror I stepped through and I think it brought me here from where I came from." I answered.
"Where are you from?" Sting asked.
Before I answered, a huge icicle flew from the air and was about to hit us and we jumped out of the way before one of us got killed.
"The hell was that!?" I yelled.
"Grey, did you try to attack me when I wasn't looking again!?" Natsu yelled.
"No way! How could I when Sting and Lecter could see me do it?" Grey asked.
We heard a cackle and we looked to see a hooded figure appear. It brought me flashbacks of when I dealt with a man with a similar cloak but this one pulled off and revealed a hot woman with ice blue hair.
"Welcome Fairy Tail and Saber Tooth! I guess you heard about our little experiment and decide to call the precious Magic Council on us to confiscate it?" she asked.
"We came to take you out since you're terrorizing the townspeople for your personal gains and that's against the rules that the Magic Council made to form the structure of this world!" Erza yelled.
The woman flicked her fingers and a sheet of ice flew at her.
"Requip! Fire Empress Armor!" she yelled and her armor appeared and she sliced the sheet with her sword.
"Ah! That armor seems so familiar! You must be Fairy Tail's very own Totania!" the woman exclaimed.
"My reputation is very well known all over Fiore along with my comrades!" she exclaimed.
"Like you wouldn't believe!" Sting exclaimed and cracked his knuckles.
"Sorry Sting, I don't think your Light Dragon Slayer magic won't work here as mine!" Natsu exclaimed in a teasing voice.
"Oh yeah? Maybe I should teach you a lesson in Dragon Slayer magic…" Sting started.
"Will you two shut up!? We will be dead by the time she finishes with us!" Gajeel growled.
"I have to agree!" Lily exclaimed and he was in his big kitten form.
"A tough bunch, let's see how you can take this on! Ice Make Rain!" the warlock yelled.
"She's an Ice Make Mage!? My kind of element!" Grey exclaimed and pulled off his clothes. "Ice Make Rain as well!"
Both attacks collided and shattered and more shards fell around us.
"Fuego!" I yelled and the ice melted.
"A fire wizard, thought that the Fire Dragon would be the only fire wizard that would show up in this group! How interesting! Maybe I should turn it up a few notches!" she exclaimed and then more ice started forming around us.
"Natsu!" I yelled.
"You got it!" he exclaimed.
The both of us sent out fire attacks and more ice formed around us. Gajeel and the others joined in the fight to stop the warlock as well.
Now let's see what's going on with the others!
We walked around one part of the castle trying to find an opening to get inside. It was hard for us to see since it was not only dark but about to get dark in the area. We sent the Echseeds out to see what they can find.
"If only I had Toot Toot and Lacuna this would be a lot easier and faster." I said.
"Who?" Lucy asked.
"Sorry, two little, tiny friends me and Harry knew at home that we send out for jobs time to time." I answered.
If Toot heard me say that about him he would probably kill me for it since he is not that tiny due to how much he grown in pixie size.
"I guess you're missing home, aren't you?" Lucy asked.
"Yeah, you can say that!" I answered.
If you count being surrounded by ice and Winter faeries as missing it in your sense. I thought bitterly.
The cats returned and landed next to Wendy and Rogue.
"What did you find?" Rogue asked.
"We found a door that leads into the back of the castle by the looks of it." Frosh answered.
"Any enemies?" Rogue asked.
"We didn't see any, it looked clear to us." Carla answered.
"Sounds easy enough to me." Yukino said.
"Well, let's get a move on then!" I said.
We started walking again and then out of nowhere a big explosion happened and we felt water hit us.
"What the hell?" I asked.
"What was that!?" Lucy asked.
We heard a cackle and we saw a figure with a hooded robe on. I remembered Harry mentioning guys like these roaming around back home but never thought I would be facing one here and now!
"Welcome Fairy Tail and Saber Tooth, too bad you can't continue beyond this point!" a man's voice came from that hood.
"Oh man! Just one job where we could have Juvia with us!" Lucy exclaimed.
"We can take him on!" Yukino exclaimed.
"Say what!?" she asked.
"Remember, I have Pisces and you have Aquarius!" Yukino exclaimed as she held up a key with an anchor at the bottom and two fish with long tails at the top.
"Oh right!" she exclaimed.
The guy cackled and made tidal waves.
"Yukino, you do realize that Pisces is weak against water right?" Lucy asked as the tidal waves got close.
"That is why we use Aquarius first and then Pisces." She told Lucy.
"I thought we were going to fight…" Lucy started and screamed as the tidal wave hit.
"Too late ladies!" he said and the waves also hit Yukino.
"No Lucy! Yukino!" Wendy yelled.
"Ah! The Sky Dragon and Shadow Dragon, I never thought I would run into the both of you." The man said.
"Stay away from her!" Carla yelled.
"And a pathetic Echseed or two Echseeds, maybe I should drown you two as well!" he said and sent waterspouts and got them both and the both of them screamed as they and their cats went up into them.
The man saw me standing there and asked, "Now it's your turn."
I gasped as I got caught up by one myself.
Back at the others' fight…
We were on the ground panting from a hard fight. We weren't able to touch her with our attacks with all the ice she's thrown at us and formed around us. "Man, I don't think I can keep going!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Just hang in there." Happy told him.
"You're not the only one, I'm almost out of power." Sting said.
"You can still hit her can you!?" his cat asked.
"Not anymore." He answered.
"Aw! You tired already? Maybe I should freeze you all and give you to my master as statues!" the warlock woman exclaimed and cackled.
I didn't know what to do there! If I wanted, I would ffreeze her and take her out but with her speed in magic it is hard to do so! I looked down at my hands and saw my force rings I made after getting off of Demon Reach for a while. I remembered how I used the old ones for additional magic as a nice little push when it comes to fighting strong foes like this bitch! I looked at everyone else and knew I had to do something and now!
"Tick tock!" we heard.
I stood up and said, "Very well! Maybe you should freeze us and hand us over! I think your boss wouldn't be happy to find what you've done would spoil his experiment!" I said mockingly.
"Harry, what are you saying?" Erza asked.
"Imagine him yelling at you for freezing us, especially Totania here." I said and pointed at Erza with my staff. "Or the Dragon Slayers and this naked ice wizard."
I noticed a tiny vein showing up in her forehead, I knew I was starting to strike a nerve.
"What? You getting mad bro? Your master should be mad since he worked so hard in getting specimen for his disappearing act!" I teased.
"You bastard!" she yelled and sent a huge ice spike at us.
"Look out!" Erza yelled.
The spike flew at me and all of a sudden I punched it with my force rings glowing and it caused it to shatter.
"Sting! Now!" I yelled.
"What!?" he asked.
"He doesn't have enough power!" Lecter exclaimed.
"Just do it!" I yelled.
"Fine! I'll do it!" Gajeel exclaimed.
"The hell?" the warlock yelled.
"Iron Dragon Iron Fist!" he yelled and punched the other shards.
"My turn! Fire Dragon Roar!" Natsu yelled.
The warlock screamed as she got hit.
"And now for the final touch!" Grey yelled and sent ice magic and it froze her in place.
"Not bad Grey." I said.
"Thanks!" he exclaimed.
"Cover yourself, we're going in and going to face some warlocks that don't want to see you swinging!" I said.
We all went inside once Grey got his clothes back on preparing for the worst!
