Somewhere in the south sea of Fiore Erza's P.O.V.
"Where am I?" I said weakly.
"You are on a ship heading to the Tower of Heaven." Sho answered with a serious expression.
"Sho please untie me I won't be trouble." I muttered.
"But you will, I didn't want it to happen like this." Sho yelled.
"Sho." I whispered.
"Why, why did you betray Jellal!" He screamed.
"Sho what has happened to you?" I asked sincerely.
"We were shown what the depths of magic are and how we can have true freedom." Sho cackled."That is dark mage philosophy." I cried.
"What boorish words 'dark mage' don't you think sister." Sho said darkly.
"They may be boorish to you but to me it's the truth." I yelled at him.
"Thank you Simon." Sho said to himself.
"We are nearing the tower Erza, see you later." Sho said, leaving me alone.
"Guys please help me." I thought out loud.
Era Magic Council headquarters
No one's P.O.V.
"You mean to tell me that an R-System still exists!" A council member yelled across the room.
"That is impossible they were all destroyed!" Another yelled back.
"Eight years ago a cult that worshiped Zeref put up a huge sum of money to construct the towers." One member stated.
"But all seven were destroyed." Someone else yelled out.
"There must have been an eighth." Another stated.
"It is not called the R System, it is called the Tower of Heaven." A man with blue hair stated, anger evident in his voice.
Somewhere in the south sea of Fiore Lucy's P.O.V.
"Lucy, Natsu do you still smell Erza?" Gray asked me.
"Yes, in fact I think it's getting stronger we should be getting close to her!" I yelled to Gray and Juvia.
"Why did I not buy motion sickness pills." Natsu murmured as he was about to puke into the ocean.
"Oh bless you Natsu." I whispered.
"Alright enough lovey dovey stuff it is making me feel ill, but still good job Lucy." Gray told me.
"Love rival." I heard Juvia whisper.
"Okay Juvia, one I am Natsu's girlfriend/mate, and two Gray is just a brother figure to me okay I don't love him like that!" I yelled, but whispered the mate part.
"Oh okay." She said skeptically.
I just sweat dropped, what is wrong with her.
"Lucy is that where Erza is?" Gray asked me.
"Yes." I said seriously.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and got serious, Natsu even stopped being sick.
"Look at the water." Juvia pointed out.
"I feel a familiar evil magic." I said angry.
"Luce I got your back, we all do." Natsu said, trying to calm me down.
"Juvia can cover us in water so we can go undetected." Juvia mentioned.
"Good can you please do that Juvia." I responded and she did it.
We stopped just before a large tower-like building.
"Juvia is going to look for a entrance so we don't get caught." Juvia suggested.
"Good idea Juvia." Gray praised her.
I mentally laughed at her reaction.
"Gray-sama praised Juvia, not love rival." Juvia said, happy and shocked.
Two minutes later
"Juvia has found a secret entrance under the tower."
"Wait Natsu before you do anything stupid we cannot breath underwater so how are we going to get there?" I asked, seriously.
"By using this, it is a bubble that contains oxygen." Juvia answered me.
"Okay then let's go." Gray stated once we all had the bubbles around our heads.
We started swimming till we saw an opening and swam towards it. Once we resurfaced I sighed.
"These things really do work." I said plainly.
"I am impressed you lasted long as I purposely made yours smaller." Juvia said, smirking.
"Juvia you should keep things like that to yourself in the future." I replied darkly and she shivered slightly.
"Stop the intruders." We suddenly heard people yell, probably guards to one another.
"Cancer Star Dress." I whispered and I had two swords in my hands.
"Let's fight guys." I said, getting excited about fighting.
"Lucy flame brain is rubbing off on you." Gray said, using his magic to shoot ice arrows at the guards.
"He maybe but I have always liked a good battle." I said while I struck another guard down.
"Is it a dragon trait?" Gray asked.
"Don't know." Was all I said as we were fighting, once we beat the guards a weird door opened.
"Be on guard guys, Natsu up front with me." I said wearily.
"Okay, you heard her." Natsu added with the same tone. He could sense it too. "Something isn't right."
"Juvia agrees, it is very strange." Juvia whispered to Gray.
"Yeah this is very weird." Gray whispered back.
Once we made it to the top, we saw a large dinner table. I sniffed it and looked at Natsu, knowing he did the same and nodded his head.
"Guys it is safe to eat, but don't eat it alright." Before I even said the last bit they were eating.
"It's fine Lucy." Gray said in between mouthfuls of food.
"Open Gate of the Maiden Virgo." I said with Virgo's key out.
"Hello princess what would you like?" Virgo asked.
"Virgo can you get me new clothes and celestial candy, please?" I asked my pink haired spirit.
"Yes princes any punishment." She asked, excited.
"Oh hell no!" I yelled at her.
"Yelling at me is the perfect punishment princess." Virgo cried happily making everyone sweat drop anime style before disappearing, then reappearing with my clothes and sweets.
"Do you need help getting changed." Virgo said, acting really creepy while handing me my clothes.
"Return!" I yelled.
"Bye princess." Virgo called before going back to the spirit world.
"Don't you dare look or I will beat the shit out of you got it." I yelled behind me and got changed making sure no one looked at me once I finished I smiled.
"Can we look now?" Natsu asked.
"Yes you can look, I am changed now." I answered Natsu.
Natsu's P.O.V
I was getting bored and I wanted to see what her clothes looked like.
"Can we look now?" I asked.
"Yes you can look, I am changed now." Lucy answered.
We all turned around and Lucy was in a green dress that was fitted at the top and flowed from the waist it amplified her already amazing chest.
"You look great Lucy." Gray told Lucy.
"Gray-sama don't compliment love rival." Juvia cried.
"What do you think Natsu?" Lucy asked me.
"You look r-really cute." I replied, stopping myself from saying hot.
"Thanks Natsu." Lucy said, blushing.
"Now let's find Erza." Gray told us.
Erza's P.O.V
"I am actually back here." I said, scared.
"Are you scared, is this cell bringing back memories." Sho said with a monotone voice.
"Yes." I whimpered quietly.
Flashback
"Stupid brats thought they could escape." A slim man in a mask said evilly.
"Normally we would punish all of you, but we are feeling generous today so tell us who came up with this plan and we will let you get back to work and only punish the culprit." A chubby man sneered.
"I came up with the plan." A small boy with yellow hair started to say before being cut off.
"Don't be stupid brat you could never have come up with this." He yelled at the poor boy.
"It was me, I came up with the plan." A blue-haired boy yelled.
"Foolish brat you think we can't see through your pathetic facade we know it was your little girlfriend over there." The man pointed to a red-haired girl who looked terrified.
"Get her and bring her to the punishment room." The chubbier man said evilly.
"Don't worry I will be okay." She said with a smile, even though her eyes betrayed her you could see the tears in her eyes threatening to fall.
End flashback
"Nee-san why did you betray Jellal, how could you?" Sho yelled, crying.
"Oh Sho. What has Jellal done to you?" I said, getting pissed off.
"Jellal has done nothing. In fact he saved us from drowning when you became drunk on magic and blew up the boats we were going to use to escape. He showed us the truth that true freedom only exists in Zeref's world." Sho yelled back at me.
"I am so sorry for this." I said before I hit him on the neck to knock him out and I ran and requipped, attacking anyone who got in my way and continued running until I heard Lucy's voice. I turned a corner and found Team Natsu and that Phantom chick.
Stella's P.O.V.
"Where the hell are we Stella?" Happy asked me.
"I don't know Happy it looks like a crazy cat room." Just as I said that, a girl appeared.
"Hi ya kitty's." She said excitedly.
"Now that is dandy Milly do you like them." The block head said.
"Where are we and where are Natsu and Lushy." Happy asked.
"Your pink-haired friend is sleeping with the fishes." Block head said.
"And Blondie is all twisted like a pretzel." The cat girl said and I cringed.
"No that can't be." Happy objected.
"Hey doll a cat is dandy but a cat that can talk is even more dandy." Block head said.
"That is the same thing." I said sweat dropping.
"Let's go Erza has escaped." The block head said.
"That is Erzy for ya see you later kitty's." The cat woman said.
Once she left, I turned to Happy.
"Let's go, we know Erza is here and the others have probably just got here knowing Lucy." I explained to Happy.
"Let's go find our friends." Happy said, determined.
"Let's go then." I said, equally determined.
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Guys I smell Erza she is around here somewhere." I yelled to the others.
"I can smell it too let's go this way." Lucy added, agreeing with me.
"Guys what are you doing here?" A woman asked.
We turned around and saw Erza standing there shocked.
Erza's P.O.V.
"Erza!" They all yelled.
"What are you doing here? Go back to the guild, it's not safe." I yelled at them.
"Hell no we are going to help you!" Natsu yelled back.
"Besides they have Happy and Stella." Lucy also yelled.
"We are not leaving without you and the cats." Gray pointed out, then Natsu ran off to find Stella and Happy before I could stop him.
"Don't even think about following him, go back I will bring him and the cats back with me." I once again yelled at them.
"Not a chance Erza." Lucy said stubbornly.
"Stop now please before you get involved this is my fight not yours." I stated loudly.
"Erza we were involved in this already so don't be giving us that bullshit we are fighting with you." Gray yelled back at me.
All the emotions I was holding in came out.
"Guys." I cried.
"It's alright we are here for you, let it out." Lu said to me calmly while patting my back.
"Guys I need to tell you the truth about what happened before I joined Fairy Tail." I said, no longer holding back the tears.
"Go on Erza we won't judge you I promise and a celestial wizard never breaks a promise." Lucy told me sincerely.
Gray and the Phantom girl nodded.
"When I was little, my town was raided and children were kidnapped and parents were killed. They loaded all of the children onto ships and sent us here this is what we referred to as hell on earth." I said, holding back tears.
"You can do it Erza, we are here for you." Lucy said, encouraging me to continue.
"After a few years, we had enough and tried to escape but we were caught Jellal said he planned it even though he did not nor did I yet I was still sent to be punished. After an hour or so when the punishers went to get new torture things Jellal came and saved me but we were caught again and he took my place in being punished as they sent me back to my cell." I explained, stopping to breathe.
"When I got back to my cell I knew we had to revolt and so we found whatever we could and used it to fight I ran and fought any guards that came my way I needed to save Jellal along the way but we were caught and some of the guards could use magic. They hurt Simon and they were about to hurt me when our grandpa Rob stepped in front of me and took the attack. He protected me and blocked the attack with his own magic."
Flashback
"Grandpa Rob do you think I will use magic." A small red-haired girl asked an older man.
"Yes Erza I do and magic comes from the heart and yours is extremely strong." The man said happily to the small girl.
"When I learn magic I will let you ride on my broom grandpa." She said with a bright smile.
End of flashback
He was looking at me.
"Erza you are the reason why I did not give up hope you will do great things in life." He told me before the attack hit and killed him. That is when my magic flared to life and I lashed out at all the guards I could see and continued till I got to Jellal." I stopped to breath.
"When I reached Jellal, he was different. He had an evilness that wasn't there before like he was being possessed. He told me not to live but I still wanted to. I wanted to go to grandpa Rob's guild so he threatened me that if I come back he would kill Sho and the others so I fled not wanting the others to die." I finished, still holding back tears.
Erza's P.O.V
"Erza." I cried while running to hug her.
"Oh Lu." Erza whispered to me.
"Lies. Why are you lying to them Jellal saved us from drowning." The yellow-haired boy, what's his name Sho that's it yelled. That angered me but before I could speak, someone else did.
"Sho Erza is telling the truth. Look inside your heart does Erza seem like the person to do what Jellal said she died." A deep voice said from behind me.
"Simon." Erza gasped and her eyes lit up.
"Hi Erza, you look good." Simon said nervously.
"What do you mean Simon? Jellal saved us." Sho yelled at the larger male.
"Sho, Jellal attacked the boats and told me if I ever came back he would kill you." Erza said sadly at the man in front of her.
"Nee-san why did I believe him." The boy cried.
"It's okay Sho I don't blame you." Erza said, comforting him.
Suddenly lips appeared everywhere.
"What is this?" Gray asked, astonished at what we are seeing.
"So it seems that Simon abandoned the cause well that just makes the game more interesting now doesn't it I have sent three knights of my own into this game if I win I get to use Erza as the sacrifice and if you win the sacrifice won't happen but we have three hours before the council plans to fire an Etherion blast at this tower now let the battle of the Tower of Heaven commence." A sinister voice laughed like it was nothing.
"He will pay for what he has done." Sho muttered before trapping Erza in a card and running off.
"Oh shit, Sho can't defeat Jellal at all and we have to keep Natsu and Wally from meeting again." Simon said.
"Okay let's split up. Lucy, Juvia you go find Sho, Simon go find Natsu and I will hunt his so-called knights."
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Happy, Stella where are you!" I yelled trying to find the cats when I came across a cat themed room.
"Happy, Stella you in here." I said out loud.
"Oh a cat mask, the cats are going to love this." I said to myself, putting on the mask.
"It is stuck shit!" I yelled.
"Well I thought I put you six feet under back at the casino, but I will happily do it again goodbye Salamander." A man said behind me.
I turned around and there was block head with a gun pointed at me.
"Don't hurt the poor kitty!" A random girl yelled.
"Dammit Milly that isn't a cat, it's a human wearing a cat mask."
"Trying to be a cat makes me angry." She said which I thought was ironic as she has cat ears and a tail.
"But aren't you trying to be a cat?" I asked.
"Bad kitty restraint tube." She yelled, pointing her arm at me as a rope shot from her arm and landed around my waist.
I tried lighting my fist on fire, but nothing happened.
"Wait, why can't I use magic?" I asked out loud.
"My tubes nullify magic so as long as they are around you you are not able to use magic." She laughed.
"Now boy from the moment you met me your fate was sealed." He said, getting ready to fire his gun.
"Ultimate cat technique, kitty crying." I whispered and it worked the girl loosened the ropes and I was free.
"Cat Fire!" I yelled, attacking them then these weird lips appeared all over the walls.
"So it seems that Simon abandoned the cause well that just makes the game more interesting now doesn't it I have sent three knights of my own into this game if I win I get to use Erza as the sacrifice and if you win the sacrifice won't happen but we have three hours before the council plans to fire an Etherion blast at this tower now let the battle of the Tower of Heaven commence." A sinister voice laughed like it was nothing.
"What Jellal, the council was never something you told us about." Block head yelled after the lips disappeared.
"I may not be smart like Luce, but I know what sacrifice means and I am never going to let you sacrifice Erza!" I yelled, really angry.
"Natsu, what are you doing and what the hell is on your head?" A voice asked me.
I turned around and saw the cats.
"Oh hey Happy and Stella." I said to them.
"I have to agree with Stella, what is on your head Natsu?" Happy asked.
"Oh it is a cat mask, help me get it off." I answered them.
"Happy help me." Stella said, transforming into a human like it was normal. I guess it is normal now.
"Okay." Happy replied.
A few moments later
"Thank Mavis that thing is off my head, thanks guys." I stated.
"Okay now I am going to find Lucy and the others." Stella added.
We split up and the two of us went to look for the jerk that kidnapped Erza.
