Simon's P.O.V.
"Wally, have you and Millie found the celestial and water mage yet?"I asked them.
"Yes a blonde and bluenette." Wally answered.
"Keep the blonde away from Jellal even better get her out of the tower." I added.
"Okay on it they should wake up soon anyway." Millie joined in.
"Can you find the raven-haired ice make mage as well?" I asked them both.
"On it, see you in a bit." Wally answered.
"Is Lucy okay?" Natsu asked me with a straight face.
"Yes my comrades have found her and the water wizard they are looking for your raven-haired friend as we speak." I explained to him.
"Good Zeref has ruined her life enough already and she does not need more of his darkness in her life." He said seriously. I wonder what happened to the celestial mage.
"Anyway Erza can handle herself." Natsu told me.
"Not against Jellal, she thinks that she can get through to him. She might still have feelings for him and he will use that against her." I explained.
"Shit, let's go find Erza then." Salamander yelled, running off.
Erza's P.O.V.
"Sho let me out of this card now!" I yelled, trapped in Sho's card.
"No nee-san I can't let Jellal hurt you." He yelled back to me his 'older sister' but kept running.
"Sho you won't be able to defeat him I'm sorry you need to let me out of this card." I pleaded with him.
"I can't you are safe in this card, no one can hurt you sister." He told me back, then a woman came into view.
"My name is Ikaruga and who do we have here is it Titania I see in the card." She said with fake politeness.
"Sho you can't beat her she is too strong for you." I screamed at him from the top of my lungs.
"No nee-san I can protect you myself." He yelled back.
"Stop this family feud so we can fight." Ikaruga yelled to me and Sho.
"Come get me then." Sho yelled, attacking Ikaruga.
One slice and all of Sho's cards were cut in half.
"What a boorish move boy." Ikaruga said with an overconfident smirk as she used her katana again.
"Why can't I move?" Sho yelled out.
"I've cut your nerve endings." Ikaruga stated simply.
"Sho please stop let me fight her." I screamed at him again.
"So Erza would like to have a chance." She said causally slicing the air with her katana rapidly with me reflecting the sword then the card was sliced open and I was released.
"Sho get back." I said to him, my attention on Ikaruga.
"So the scarlet knight is out to play." She mocked me.
"Heaven's Wheel 100 Blade formation dance my swords!" I yelled and my armor was sliced up, I didn't even see her move.
"Nee-san!" Sho yelled.
"I am fine now stay back!" I yelled at him armor after armor she destroyed them all even my Purgatory armor.
"You are weak stupid fairy you will lose." Ikaruga mocked me again, but I had requipped into one last armor if you can even call it that.
"A bit of cloth and a katana won't stop me." She laughed.
"Erza what are you thinking!" Sho yelled at me.
"But it will!" I yelled, running at her and she did the same thing I sliced her chest accidentally killing her oops.
"Erza you won." Sho said.
"Sho run now go find Simon and the others and get out of this tower for me while I go and beat Jellal." I asked him seriously.
"Yes Erza-chan." Was all Sho said as he ran to find the others.
"And take care of Lucy, Stella, Natsu and the others." I whispered to myself Zeref you are dead meat.
10 minutes later
"Jellal." I yelled with disgust.
"Oh my sacrifice has arrived oh why do you say my name with such disgust." He laughed back at me.
"You have hurt and lied to people that I care about any kind of good feeling I had about you is now gone." I yelled, running to attack him and he just side stepped.
"Are you sure what about Etherion that's in 9 minutes." He mocked me even more.
"I don't care if I have to stay here and keep you down, die with you I will!" I yelled in his face as I landed on top of him pinning my sword against his throat.
"Fine we will die together." He said calmly.
"Also I know you can't activate the Tower of Heaven." I stated sternly.
"But I can all I need is a sacrifice aka you before the Etherion blasts us." He said, smirking.
"But you can't you don't have enough magic energy to power the tower you would need more magic than a human can produce." I stated firmly.
"What is your plan?" I asked him.
"I don't know Zeref knows that I can't activate it but he won't release me kill me Erza then finally I will be free from him." Jellal pleaded and then hugged me as Etherion hit us.
5 minutes later Lucy and the others on the boat, minus Natsu and Simon
Gray's P.O.V.
"Shit Juvia water barrier now." I yelled to her before we drowned because of the waves.
"Thanks Stella for flying me out far enough so I can cast Tora!" I told Stella.
"Don't worry about it." She simply stated.
With the council
Yajima's P.O.V.
"Siegrain do you realize we are about to fire Etherion, Etherion will kill everyone in the tower." I asked him.
"I know it has to be done to defeat Zeref." Siegrain stated calmly.
"How are you so calm you are about to murder your own brother your own flesh and blood and many others." I yelled at him before he walked away, something is off with him I can feel it I followed him to his and Ultear's office.
Siegrain's P.O.V.
"Siegrain do you realize we are about to fire Etherion, Etherion will kill everyone in the tower." Yajima asked me.
"I know it has to be done to defeat Zeref." I stated calmly.
"How are you so calm you are about to murder your own brother your own flesh and blood and many others." He yelled before I walked into my office.
"Are you worried?" Ultear asked me.
"A little bit after all it is my life that is at risk." I answered her truthfully.
"I know and all our hard work will be for nothing." She stated.
"True but still if this does not work, I am the one who could die." I explained to Ultear.
"I know, let's pray." She said after me.
Yajima's P.O.V.
"True but still if this does not work, I am the one who could die." Jellal told Ultear.
"I know, let's pray." She said back to him.
'I must warn the rest of the council.' I thought to myself.
"Etherion firing in 3, 2, 1..." I heard. Shit it has already been fired.
"Jellal, what have you done." I yelled before he disappeared.
"Wait magic is coming from another source." One of the workers yelled.
Back at the tower, in the ocean
Lucy's P.O.V.
"Gray let me go I have to save Erza and Natsu." I yelled, struggling against Gray.
"No Lucy, I can't do that." Gray answered me, forcing me back.
"Love rival needs to stop." Juvia told me, a little jealous.
"Never my sister and mate are in that building I will save them." I yelled.
"Hey Blondie stop don't you think we want to run and save her she is our sister as well." Wally yelled back at me.
"I am sorry but my bond with Erza is one of kin and kin is so much more than just family." I replied back.
"Wait what is that?" Millianna asked out of nowhere and pointed above the tower.
"Juvia strengthen the bubble now, don't ask just do it!" I yelled.
"Lu what is happening?" Stella asked me.
"Yeah Lushy what is happening Natsu is still in the tower with Erza I'm scared." Happy cried.
"It's Etherion I'm not sure what will happen next but we have to have faith in Natsu, Erza and Simon." I explained to the cats, picking them up and hugging them.
'Natsu, you better survive this. Bring Erza back to us and the guild.' I thought to myself, then there was a bright light, Etherion.
"Juvia, Lucy, cats and Erza's old friends you all okay?" Gray yelled, worried.
"Juvia is fine Gray-sama."Juvia replied.
"I am okay as well we all are." I answered Gray.
"Lushy what is that?" Happy added.
"Oh no what is it love rival." Juvia asked.
"It's a giant lacrima." Gray said.
'Natsu, be careful please.' I thought to myself again.
Erza's P.O.V.
"I am alive, but how." I said out loud.
"That's because the tower absorbed all the magic now I can activate the tower." Jellal laughed.
"Jellal, you tricked me." I yelled, swinging my katana at him then I could not move.
"What's the matter Erza, feeling a bit stiff." I heard someone behind me Siegrain of course.
"I knew it, I knew you were working with him the moment I met you." I yelled.
"I must admit my biggest mistake was bumping into you after getting onto the magic council you attacked me thinking I was him I told you that I was going to take down Jellal although I should have said I will destroy him." Siegrain explained.
"You are his brother, you should be trying to help him and helping him is not doing this." I yelled angrily.
"Truth is Erza we are not twins, we are only two parts of one." Jellal and Siegrain said as they fused together.
"You wormed your way onto the council just so you could fire Etherion." I screamed in rage and pain.
"Get away from her!" I heard Natsu yell as we ran past and punched Jellal.
"Natsu." I whispered.
"So the fire dragon has come, where is the celestial dragon." Jellal mocked him.
"Lucy is safe so you can't corrupt her with Zeref and I am here to stop you from taking her sister!" Natsu yelled.
"Natsu leave, Lu needs you." I cried, pleading with him.
"No Erza, she needs you too." He said, then I felt pain and it went dark.
Natsu's P.O.V.
"Get away from her!" I yelled as I ran and passed Erza punching Jellal in the face.
"Natsu." Erza whispered.
"So the fire dragon has come, where is the celestial dragon." Jellal mocked me.
"Lucy is safe so she doesn't have to deal with Zeref and I am here to stop you from taking her sister from her!" I yelled, getting angrier by the second.
"Natsu leave, Lu needs you." Erza cried, pleading with me.
"No Erza, she needs you too." I said, then punched her in the gut.
"So Salamander all your talk about comrades is all for show striking a guild mate when she is down how low." Jellal laughed.
"She was crying and talking nonsense, no one makes my friends cry." I yelled, lighting myself on fire.
"Is someone getting angry, did I strike a nerve." Jellal mocked me again.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" I yelled, attacking Jellal.
"Must be faster then that." Jellal said, laughing and dodging.
Before I knew it, I felt pain in my side. Jellal had hit me without me noticing him.
"I can't let you destroy anymore of the tower." Jellal stated angrily.
"Hah I am a Fairy Tail wizard destroying stuff is my specialty." I laughed at him and began to destroy the tower.
"You're done now, Meteor." Jellal yelled, his speed increased.
"What the fuck." I whispered.
'This is going to be difficult, I can't see him but I can smell and hear him you got this Natsu.' I thought to myself.
"Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" I yelled, slashing him in the stomach.
"Too late let the judgment of the 88 constellations shine." Jellal chanted and the floor lit up the magic threw me across the room. Damn that hurt, but he's holding back.
"Ha are you holding back so you don't destroy your precious tower." I mocked him while I destroyed more of the tower.
"Natsu." Erza whispered.
Shit, she's awake.
"That's it, you are going to die." Jellal yelled, preparing a spell then Erza dived in front of me.
"You can't kill me, I am your sacrifice." She yelled.
"Don't worry I will protect you." Erza said to me like a big sister would.
"I can find another sacrifice." Jellal yelled firing the spell, but Erza and I were unharmed. Then we looked up.
"Simon." Erza yelled, crying again.
"Erza I love you, now live on." Simon said before he died.
Erza didn't leave his body.
"Ha ha the traitor died." Jellal laughed like he had won.
"You haven't won yet." I yelled with so much venom in my words.
'I need fire so bad wait Etherion has fire in it so I can eat it.' I thought as I started to eat Etherion.
"Natsu stop, Etherion is made of other elements besides fire." Erza yelled from over Simon's dead body.
"Talk about dying in vain no one will leave this tower alive." Jellal yelled psychotically.
"Erza you and I are getting out of this place alive because I made a promise, one I will keep." I yelled, anger around me.
"So I get to witness Dragon Force this is getting fun." Jellal laughed again.
I started to attack him it was like I was in a trance I did not know what I was doing.
"You can't keep up with my speed." Jellal challenged me so I jumped up, kicked him in the groin and struck his neck knocking him out and fainting afterwards.
Erza's P.O.V.
After Natsu struck Jellal in the neck and successfully knocked him out, Natsu fainted from eating Etherion and the tower started to shake.
"Shit it is unstable it will blow if I don't find a way to stabilize the magical energy." I said out loud to myself.
'I have to control the tower so I have to be absorbed by it but will the tower still accept me.' I thought, then put my arm in the crystal.
"Good it still accepts me." I said out loud to myself, then screamed.
"Erza, what are you doing?" I heard Natsu ask before more of my body was sucked in the tower.
"Take care of Lucy and the others for me, Natsu." I said.
"Erza, take my hand now take it." Natsu yelled to me just before my head was submerged in the crystal.
"I will always be with you guys, don't worry." I said, before it turned into a dream.
Dream
Erza's P.O.V
Where am I and where did this dress come from I thought but that stopped when I heard crying.
"Erza was a great wizard she was kind, caring, protective and a little strict at times but she always had good motives she will be extremely missed." Gramps cried.
"Fairy Tail we are so sorry about your loss if we didn't fire Etherion this would've never happened the council has decided to give her a permanent position on the council and title of Wizard Saint." The chairman said.
"Erza is not dead how can you think she is." Natsu yelled, trashing the place.
"Natsu please stop I am begging you, please Erza is dead now accept it like the rest of us." Lucy cried into Loke no this can't be how it ends, it can't.
End of dream
Still Erza's P.O.V.
I'm still alive and can smell the sea, but who is carrying me.
"What happened?" I asked whoever was carrying.
"You went into the tower but it spit you out again someone else controlled the tower so it didn't blow outward." Natsu said so he is the one carrying me.
"Erza!" I heard everyone yell.
"Erzy where is Simon." Millianna asked me.
"Jellal killed him." Was all I said.
"Hey Erza can we join your guild." Wally asked me.
"Sure, but let's sort it out in the morning I need to rest." I told them.
"That's okay Erza." Sho said.
"Let's head back to our hotel then." Lucy said.
