Chapter 16: Barrage Bane.

At the Entrance of the Temple, Happy, in his Battle Mode, fought the incoming hordes of the Hooded Minions of Lyon.

"Happy Smash!" Happy said, punching a group of Lyons minions in the face, sending them to another group.

A large Minion came to strike Happy from behind with a large, spiked mace, but he saw through him and then sent a kick to his stomach.

"Happy Kick!" Happy said, sending the minion crashing into a tree, which went to pieces.

Happy looked around the Minions that were surrounding him a circle, which Happy looked at every single one of them. The Minions then went to attack, and Happy wasted no time in then repeatedly punching the minions in the face.

"Happy Rapid Rampage!" Happy said, as he punched the minions that were coming at him, knocking them out with one punch each.

The terrified minions then began run from the battle, as Happy simply watched them leave.

"This cat's a monster! He is too much for us!" One of the minions said they ran away from the battle field. Happy sighed as the Blue Cat then transformed back to his normal form.

"Well, that went faster than I thought." Happy said, then sprouted his wings to fly in the air, as he then looked at the entrance to the temple, which Natsu went in.

"I feel like should go in there for Natsu. But then, he is Natsu, and I know he is strong." Happy thought and then went to look at another direction, where the village where Lucy and Flare were.

"I think better go to where Lucy and Flare is. They aren't as strong as Natsu, which I need to make sure to be there for them." Happy thought, before he then went on to the village.

"Dont worry, Lucy, Flare! Here I come!" Happy thought while flying, not knowing what was in store for him.

At the same time, inside the temple...

Within the chambers, where Nadia and Natsu had met and introduced themselves, Nadia went to speak.

"YOU'RE NATSU DRAGNEEL! THE SALAMANDER OF FAIRY TAIL?!" Nadia shouted at the top of her lungs.

Natsu went to sweat drop at her reaction. "Is there a problem with that?" Natsu asked. "Not any problem at all! I just I am happy to finally meet you! I have heard about you in the papers, but never thought I meet you today!" Nadia said in excitement.

"Heh, I am that famous?" Natsu said, scratching his head. "You are! I have read in the magazines about you and the guild you are in! I have been hoping to meet you one day!" Nadia said with a big smile.

"Well, hate to ruin the moment, but I think we have more important business here." Natsu said, looking around, which then Nadia did the same.

"I understand. Thank you for reminding me. It isn't every day you meet your idols." Nadia said. "I hope I didn't overact either." Nadia said.

"It´s fine. But have you an idea what is going on?" Natsu asked. He knew what was happening, but he wanted to make sure that Nadia knew it as well.

"Frankly, I don't know what is going on. I went to the island some time ago, I needed some money to work on with. As an Independent Mage, I was traveling across towns, until I eventually saw a quest involving handling the cursed Island Galuna. I meet up with the villagers, who wanted to be free from the Moon Curse." Nadia explained.

"It looks like you know a thing here and there." Natsu said. "Well, I went immediately to investigate, and once I were in the temple, they minions of the Reitei Guy, came and attacked." Nadia explained.

"I managed to take down most of them, but then suddenly, some guy with a Masked Guy named Zalty came and overpowered me." Nadia said.

"So, you meet Zalty too?" Natsu said. "I did. I thought he was different, but he wasn't.

"Wow, then that means you must be an S-Class Mage!" Natsu said, eyes sparkling. Nadia then blushed as she locked away, scratching her cheek.

"Well, you see, I kinda lied a were a S-Class. But hey I needed money, don't blame me!" Nadia said.

Natsu were silent for a moment, before goin on to speak. "I have also take a S-class Mage quest without permission." Natsu said casually with a grin, making Nadia sweat drop a bit.

"Anyway, it seems I need to explain some things on what´s going on here." Natsu said, and then went to explain what was going on. He told Nadia of he and his partner Happy, taking a S-Class Request, without permission, as they wanted Lucy and Flare to join them. He told Nadia of Gray, his past and Deliora, the demon that were frozen, all driven by Lyons grudge and ambition.

Natsu eventually stopped, and Nadia took it all on.

"Man, when I heard the guards about `it´, I never thought it was a Demon of Zeref." Nadia said. "Lyon is becoming closer to his goal. My friends are taking care of his minions, while I went to take him down myself." Natsu explained. "I see. If you need my help..." Nadia said, before stretching out her hand. "...I am here for you." Nadia said, grinning.

Natsu grinned too. "I liked your style. Sure, I accept. Let's move on, shall we?" Natsu said.

"But before we go, I need you to explain tell you something." Nadia said. "And that is?" Natsu said. "As you know, while I have chained, I heard the guards tell about Deliora, but didn't know what it was and even his name until now. But now that you mentioned, I think there is someone you must be careful." Nadia said, while Natsu listened.

"The Guards told me that someone named Nightmare, had brought it. Since you told me what Deliora is, I realized whatever this Nightmare guy is, he must be very strong." Nadia warned.

Natsu were silent. To think Lyon was trying to surpass Ur by killing the demon that took Ur´s life to defeat, and yet Nightmare, were the one to bring Deliora? Nightmare, whoever was, sounded powerful.

"I see. Thanks for the warning. But we should get going now." Natsu said, which Nadia agreed as the Duo of Dragon Slayers were running through the corridors, to stop the dangerous ambition of Lyon!

Later, at the village...

Gray, who lied on a bed, slowly had his eyes opened, before he then got up and looked around himself.

"Where I am?" Gray said, before then looking down at his bandaged chest. "Oh yeah, now I remember..." Gray said, as he then felt great pain in his chest.

"Are you okay? You have been knocked out for a while." A voice was heard. "Yeah, I am fine, but I need to..." Gray said, before then he recognized the voice, began to shiver and then looked to see Erza, arms crossed and were sitting alongside a smiling Mira, and with Lucy, Flare, and Happy, in his Small Form, who were all tied up.

"Dammit, why didn't I know that going to the village were a bad idea?" Happy whined, while crying comical anime tears. "Don't try to deny your fate..." Lucy said, crying comically as well.

"I see you are finally awake, Gray." Erza said, arms crossed. Gray quickly got up, despite his injuries, and then walked towards Erza and Mira.

"Look. I know was supposed to stop Natsu, and the others, but things got complicated. Things are going on greater than we had pictured, and if you..." Gray said, before then Erza cut him off.

"Lucy has told us everything. We know the situation now." Mira said, leaving Gray shocked. "What?! Dammit, and I was gonna have an awesome speech coming..." Gray said.

"Don't worry, Gray. Me and Mira will assist you to take down Lyon, and his plans to revive Deliora." Erza said, but then her face turned dark. "But don't think you and the others will still be unpunished for taking a S-Class Quest without permission." Erza said a serious and scary tone, frightening Gray, Lucy, Happy and even Flare.

"Scary!" Gray, Lucy and Happy mentally cried, before then Flare to take her attention to Mira.

"White Hair, will Pinkie be okay?" Flare asked. "Pinkie? Oh, you mean Natsu. I know he will be alright." Mira said with a heartwarming smile, making somewhat even Flare warm from within.

At the same time, within the throne room of Lyon, the white-haired man sat on his large throne, his hand resting on his head, before then the door opened, and in came four people.

"Took you long enough to come here." Lyon said, watching the four people then stand before him. "Don't be so harsh, Lyon-san." The leader of the group said. "After all, Barrage Bane is a mercenary team. It´s natural we gain competition along the way to our job." Leader said, while Lyon looked at Barrage Bane.

One was a young man who wore black boots, dark grey pants, a long, dark green trench coat, a pair of dark brown gloves, and over it, a black hooded cloak and white mask with green eyes, covering his face, eyes and hair. His name is Blade.

Another was a very large, muscular man with green eyes, green hair styled in a large afro, and long, thick, green beard. He was shirtless, wore a pair of red pants with black dots on, a yellow sash as a belt, a pair of black armbands on his wrists, and a pair of orange boots. He carried a large, spiky club of iron, which were colored black. it was big enough to easily smash a horse completely, had it's handle wrapped in dark red cloth, as well had a ring on it. His name is Club.

Among them was a youthful, beautiful woman with long, curly blonde hair, black lipstick, pink eyes, a beauty mark under her left eye, and dark purple finger nails.

She wore blue kimono, with white, flower-styled lining, a pair of long, red, wooden heels, a pair of white hakama pants and black scarf around her neck. Her name is Arrow, the only female member of the group.

The Leader, was a 26-year-old man, with short, ash blonde hair, a spiky goatee, sideburns, dark brown eyes and a "3" tattooed on the right side of his forehead.

He wore a long, dark blue coat, a pair of brown pants, black boots with black strings, a pair of silver kneepads with a light-colored X on each of them, a black belt with a dark grey silver buckle in the style of two, crossed revolvers. He wears a beige shirt, a black vest, a pair of black gloves, a black- scarf-like bandana, and a black, wide trimmed hat with a dark green sash around it. This overall appearance made him resemble a western gunslinger. His name is Gun, the Leader of Barrage Bane.

"No matter. The most important thing is that you are here, and your task." Lyon said, before then walking towards Barrage Bane.

"Recently, we had gained ourselves quite a trouble. Fairy Tail have gotten in our way, and have managed to give us quite the trouble. Which is why I called you." Lyon said, before stopping before the four mercenaries.

"I want you to take kill them, at any cost. All but one, named Gray Fullbuster." Lyon said, before then taking out a picture of him, showing it before them.

"Bring him to me alive. If you kill him, you will be expected to leave empty handed." Lyon said.

Gun simply grinned. "We will make sure to take care of them." Gun said. "Alright. Now go, and don't come back until all of the intruders are dead." Lyon ordered, which they did, and then left the room.

Once they had left, Lyon looked up at the roof.

"Gray, to think it would come to this. But you brought this upon yourself, for your foolish actions years ago!" Lyon thought.

At the same time, Natsu and Nadia went running through the corridors of the temple, using their Enchanted Senses to search for their searched location.

Eventually, they came across a large hallway, but it was filled with hundreds of minions, surrounding the two Dragon Slayers.

"Damn, it seems were a surrounded." Natsu said. "I can see it." Nadia said.

"There is the intruder!" A minion shouted. "And he has the prisoner with him!" Another minion said. "Don't let them escape!" Said a minions, who came them rushing at them.

"We just need to take them on, right?" Nadia said, preparing her Magic. "Agree with you!" Natsu said, as they then went on to fight the minions coming at them.

Natsu went to punch with a flame fist, at a group of Minions in the face, sending them unconscious everywhere. "Fire Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Natsu shouted, as they minions fell down with a crash.

Nadia wasted no time at the Minions that came at her. "Get that prisoner! Take her alive!" A minion said, but she simply took a breath and then:

"Sand Dragon´s Roar!" Nadia said, as she unleashed a torrent of sand from her mouth, striking the Minions.

Another group of three minions came to attack her, but she simply went to kick them in the face with her sand covered foot.

"Sand Dragon´s Talon!" Nadia said, kicking the trio in the face, knocking them into unconsciousness.

Another group of minions came around Nadia, charged them all with their weapons, preparing to attack her. But Nadia simply then began to gather sand around herself, before she spun a circle around herself.

"Sand Dragon´s Vortex!" Nadia said, as the pillar of sand engulfed the area, sending the guards into the air and causing a large mist of sand.

The minions went lost within it, unable to see anything. "God dammit, where the hell is she?!" said a Minion, before he noticed Nadia, who were far away.

With a grin, the minion pulled out and knife, and then came running towards her, which the minion stabbed Nadia!

"DIE!" The minion yelled, but "Nadia" then turned into sand and died down, much to the minion´s confusion, and then suddenly, another Nadia showed before him.

"What?!" The minion said in shock, before a grinned Nadia head butted him.

"Sand Dragon´s Clone. A great glone of sand made to confuse opponents. Simple, but useful." Nadia said to the unconscious minion.

"Yo Natsu! Is everything well?! I am doing just fine!" Nadia shouted, towards the Fire Dragon Slayer, who fought several Minions coming at him.

Natsu punched a large man in the gut, sending him flying to the roof. "Fire Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Natsu said, as then another group of enemies came and surrounded him. Natsu simply jumped in the air as he then took deep breath and unleashed a powerful torrent of flames from his mouth.

"Fire Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu said, as the flames came and struck the large group of guards coming at him.

As he landed on the ground, a large minion, who had short, brown hair, a pair of green eyes, a bumby chin and wore a hooded cloak, covering his entire body and head, came running at Natsu with a large sword, trying to slice him in half. But Natsu simply jumped up, spun around in the, while having his foot coated in flames and then kicked the Minion, right at the back of his head!

"Fire Dragon´s Talon!" Natsu said, the minion crashed with his head first on the ground, knocking The Minion unconscious.

A pair of two minions came, trying to stab him with their spears, but Natsu was faster. He dodged the spears and kicked them in the face, sending the unconscious due to a group of enemies.

"What the hell is wrong with these guys?!" A minion shouted. "They aren´t normal! Even if we have them outnumbered, they are overpowering us!" Another minion said. "If this the end for us?!" A panicked minion shouted.

"Don't panic! Sooner or later, they will be losing their stamina!" Another minion said, but then were taken down by a kick by Nadia.

"Just lay down for a while. Natsu and I are making through." Nadia said. "Yeah!" Natsu said, before he and Nadia then run towards a large group of people.

The many minions tried to take them down, but the two Dragon Slayers easily overpowered them, taking them all down left and right, as the minions eventually began to flee from the battlefield.

"Screw this, I am leaving!" A scared minion said he and his companions ran away from the battlefield through a large door, but then suddenly, a large club were then slamming down the ground, which got the attention of even Natsu and Nadia.

"And where the hell do you think you are going?" Club said, raising his club from the ground, before then entering the scene.

Once he had walked in, he looked around the Hallway, before then noticing Natsu and Nadia. "Oh, you two must be the mages Lyon told about." A grinning Club said, before then walked towards them.

"But to think that they would be hard for all of you to handle? I expected more of you." Club said, mocking the Minions while walking.

"I, however, I am different. I am Club, of Barrage Bane. This will be your last time on earth." Club said. "Barrage Bane?" Natsu said, tilting his head. "I have heard of them. They are a group of mercenaries, who are paid in killing targets." Nadia said.

"Your admiring words flatter me, girl. But do you think I will spare you for that?" Club said. "As if I wanna admire you." Nadia said. "Oh, but you will. Which will be the last moments of your miserable lives. The two of you are to be killed by me, Club!" Club said in a booming tone.

"Natsu, you go on ahead. I will take care of him!" Nadia said. "You sure?" Natsu asked. "I am. I know we only know for a short time, so get moving." Nadia said, which in return made Natsu smile.

"Alright, but then I shall head on. Promise you will return safely!" Natsu said, before then leaving the area, but Club had an annoyed expression on his face.

"I said, I won't let either of you run away from me!" Club said, before running towards him, but Nadia then suddenly came before him and sent a kick at his face, sending him to the ground, away from Natsu.

"I am fighting you! Natsu, go!" Nadia said, which Natsu smiled and went on. Once he left the run, Club slowly got up, showing only annoyance, while Nadia grinned.

"You will pay for having my target escape, and for getting in my way!" Club said in anger. But Nadia still grinned. "Well, you should have thought before encountering us. You are aiming to kill us." Nadia said.

"No matter! Once I take down you, I will make sure to go after Salamander! I swear on it as a member of Barrage Bane!" Club said. "I see. Then i shall make sure you to make sure you not have Natsu! I swear on it as a fellow Dragon Slayer!" Nadia said.

"So, you are a Dragon Slayer? Then it should be more interesting, for me!" Club said, before then slamming his club onto floor, causing a small earthquake in the room. But Nadia managed to dodge it by jumping away.

Club continued to swing his weapon at her, but she managed to dodge every attack, despite the size of the club.

"Stand still so I can kill you!" Club said in frustation. "Then you gotta strike me better." Nadia said, before then jumping in the air and took a deep breath. "Sand Dragon´s Roar!" Nadia said, before then sending a blast of sand from her mouth, going directly towards Club.

But Club grinned, as he then pointed his weapon at the stream of sand coming at him, which then a mouth filled with sharp teeth, opened and then devoured the sand!

Nadia´s eyes widened, before then Club then jumped towards her, which she then made a wall of sand to defend herself with.

But has his club struck against the sand wall, the mouth consumed it, which then struck Nadia and then sent her crashing to the floor!

Nadia got up, but then Club then went to smash her again, but she dodged by rolling to the side.

As Nadia got in position, her eyes glued on the club her opponent had in his hands. Club had a smirk on his face, as he noticed quickly.

"I see you are wondering of my weapon. It´s not an ordinary club, but it has a Lacrima infused within itself, allowing itself to gain a mouth and mind of a beast." Club explained.

"As the blacksmith, I have heard of them. It´s the first time I see something infused within a club." Nadia said.

"But your victory is beyond your reach. No matter how much send you sent at me, my weapon, Devourer, shall take everything you got and bring you down!" Club said, and then once again charged at her.

Nadia then simply had her hands and feet once again covered in sand, before she then ran towards him, sending a kick up his face.

"Sand Dragon´s Talon!" Nadia said, but the mouth of the club he wielded, eat the sand without any difficulty.

As Club grinned, Nadia then jumped away, before she then had her leg then slashed before her, sending a slice of sand at him.

"Sand Dragon´s Storm Kick!" Nadia said, as the Sand Blade went towards Club, but he used his weapon to once again ate her sand.

Nadia wasted no time and then went on to try to land another strike on Club, but he swinged his large weapon at her, as she barely dodged it.

"What´s wrong?! Don't tell me you didn't hear when I told I was different from the other enemies you fought!" Club gloated.

But Nadia simply had her elbow covered in sand, as she then used it to hit him.

"Sand Dragon´s Dune Elbow!" Nadia said, as Club didn't managed to block the strike in time, which caused damage at him.

"I did it! I finally managed to land a strike on him!" Nadia thought.

Club was sent back a bit, leaving a deep trail in the ground. As Club cough up a bit of blood, he then raised his head to glare a Nadia.

"Your arrogance will only lead to your death, Dragon Slayer! If you think your Magic can overpower me, you are dead wrong!" Club said, before then running towards Nadia.

Nadia then coated her hands in blades of sand, trying to block the Club coming at her, but his Weapon slowly ate it´s away through.

Nadia grit her teeth while Club grinned, before then Nadia managed to break free of his grip, before then jumping away, as her sand blades dispersed.

"Don't think you can run away!" Club said, as his weapon the extended, with its spikes grew longer and it's teeth large and sharper.

Nadia then created several projectiles of sand around her, before she then:

"Sand Dragon´s Spear!" Nadia said, before then sending them towards Club and his extending weapon. As the sand spears went towards the weapon, but when it hit it, Devourer ate them all. Nadia grit her teeth, as she then made a round shield of sand, to prevent Devourer to attack her, which, Club only laughed as a response.

"You fool! Even if you sent me a thousand of those sand spears, my Devourer would only eat them all!" Club laughed, but then suddenly a spear came his shoulder, making him flinch in pain, and move his weapon, away from Nadia.

Nadia saw it as an opportunity, as she then dashed towards Club, who were flinching in pain.

"That bitch! She made it look she only attacked my weapon, but then took one last shot at my face!" Club thought, before then sawing Nadia coming towards him.

Club quickly swung his weapon, but Nadia dodged it and then landed away from Club.

Nadia stop still, while Club glared at her, panting from his injury. "You bitch, you should be glad you aren't that ice bastard of Fairy Tail. If you were him, I would have spared you, as Barrage Bane always take the money first." Club said.

Nadia simply stood still, not even telling a word. "Silent, aren't you? You should be. Because now, I will make sure my Devourer won't even leave a bit of you when I am done with you." Club said.

"Then, shall we end this?" Nadia asked, taunting Club, who then grinned and then had his weapon raised in the air.

"You read the words right out of my mouth! We shall finish this, now! Come at me! As I said, not one piece of you will be left!" Club said, and then charged, and Nadia did as well, who then gathered Sand Dragon Slayer Magic around her.

The two ran towards each other, while Club had his weapon prepared to ram at Nadia, she then had sand appear around her hands, spiraling around it. She then bend it forward, preparing to strike him.

While Nadia did so, the spikes on Club´s weapon grew longer, which the teeth of his club, sharper than before, prepared to take Nadia down.

"Prepare your last words, Dragon Slayer! Killer Shallow!" Club said and the brought the club at her.

"Sand Dragon´s Spiral Fist!" Nadia said, as she then sent her fist at the club, much to the delight of Club.

But soon, Club´s expression turned to shock, as the attack came through his weapon, and then struck him at his chest!

"Impossible... the force and speed of the rotation, made it unable for my Devourer to consume that?!" A shocked Club thought, before then landing on the ground, losing consciousness.

Nadia looked at Club calmly, before she then went to speak her words.

"I told you. I promised Natsu, as a fellow Dragon Slayer, to make sure to take you down." Nadia said. "You damn bitch..." Club said, before then losing consciousness.

Nadia wasted no time, as she then went to run after Natsu.

"Natsu. I told I could make it." Nadia thought while running.

Meanwhile...

Within a room, the other Barrage Bane Members of the were watching the fight, one a Lacrima Screen, connected to one of the many Lacrima Cameras of the room.

The Leader, sighed and then went to speak, after seeing the defeat of Club. "Club sure had to be defeated. Now we have more to handle." The Leader said, before turning to the Other Members.

"Blade, Arrow. You go ahead and take down the rest of the intruders. I will go and take on Salamander." The Leader said, and without any words, they bowed and then left the room, while the Leader watched the Lacrima Screen, as Natsu was seen within it.

At the same time, as Natsu ran, he encountered several guards coming at him, but he easily took them down.

"Fire Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Natsu said, punching a masked minion in the face. As a group of five men came towards them with trident-like weapon, Natsu then took a deep breath, and unleashed a stream of flames at them.

"Fire Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu roared, as the flames were sent at them.

But once Natsu finished his attack, a group of hundreds of minions arrived.

"Damn, they won't come to an end!" Naryu mentally spoke to Natsu. "I know. But that shows me I only need to take everyone down!" Natsu thought, before then preparing to further his attack.

But before Natsu even were able to lay another attack, the minions were suddenly flung into the air, as if someone tossed them, as they are all taken down easily at a great speed. The minions were yelling in fear, while Natsu was confused of what was happening.

"What is going on?" Natsu thought, before then a sudden presence were felt, sending shivers of fear before the wall of minions before him were taken down, as the last minions were finished.

And in, stepped Erza and Mira, walking towards Natsu.

"Natsu Dragneel. You have taken a S-Class Quest, without permission, as well brought people with it. Do you have any words for yourself?" Erza said in a low, scary and dangerous tone, as Natsu began to sweat while scratching his head in nervous tone.

"But aren't there other things to be worried about here?" Mira said as she stepped in. "Mira!" Natsu said. Erza were silent for a moment, before she then sighed. "You got a point there… but Natsu!" Erza said, pointing at Natsu. "Yes?!" Natsu said in a quick, terrified tone. "Don't think your punishment will be forgotten. You and the others will receive punishment once this is over." Erza said.

"And there goes my chances of a calm and peaceful mission." Natsu said, sighing. "But as of now, we have more important matters to attend to." Erza said. "According to Gray, this guy Lyon or Reitei, is trying to revive Deliora. Is that true?" Mira said. "Yeah, and from the appearance and size of it, it seemed very dangerous." Natsu said.

"Whatever it is, we must then make our move. As I am regarded, Reitei must be stopped at all cost." Erza said. "Agree with you there Erza. Follow me, I can track you down where Reitei and Deliora is!" Natsu said, before then running, as Erza and Mira followed him as well.

While they ran, Natsu turned to Erza and Mira to speak with them. "Oh yeah, there is also someone who meet earlier. An ally named Nadia. She is a Dragon Slayer!" Natsu said.

"A Dragon Slayer?" Mira asked. "Yeah, a Sand Dragon Slayer! I sensed her at a prison cell, as she was captured by Lyon and his Men. I freed her, but we met later on some guy named Club, of a Group named Barrage Bane. Nadia went on to fight him." Natsu explained.

"Barrage Bane?" Erza said. "I think I have heard of them. They are a group of mercenaries, who are said to be enough take one a hundred men each. They took down three united light guilds in less than an hour." Mira said. "But I have seen what Nadia is able to do, she is strong. So I think she can make it." Natsu said, but before long, another group of Lyon's minions were rushing towards them.

"But we talk about that later. We got company." Erza said. "This won't take long." Mira said, as she and Erza prepared their Magics to fight.

"Natsu! You go on ahead. Me and Mira will handle this!" Erza said. Natsu grinned as he began to run, but quickly stopped once he heard Erza´s voice once more. "And don't even think I will forget your punishment later on. Expect to be at the guild." Erza said, as Natsu turned around, but saw her smile, which he did as well, before then running off.

As Mira and Erza were surrounded, they were each at their backs.

"It´s been a while since we fought this together, Mira." Erza said. "Yeah, even if I don't do missions anymore, I am still able to fight!" Mira said, as then:

"Re-Quip: Heaven Wheel Armor!" Erza said, as once she was donned in her armor of silver blades, she went on to attack with her swords.

"Take Over: Satan Soul!" Mira said, as she was enveloped in a light. She was wearing her revealing, red jumpsuit, long, red stockings, had her forearms as green claws, a long, reptilian tail, had black lips, long ears, a pair of black, bat-like wings, and her white hair wild and jutting upwards.

The two Fairy Tail mages went on, as Erza, left and right, slashed with her swords, taking them down with ease. Mira sent beams of darkness, and punched several enemies in the face, knocking them down.

A large man with black hair and a mask, came running at Mira with an axe, but Mira punched the man in the face, sending him to a wall. Another man with red hair came her with a trident, but Mira uppercased him, and sent him to the roof. A pair of two men, one with brown hair, and the other blue hair, each holding a sword, trying to slash Mira. But she was faster, as she sent a kick at the duo, sending the unconscious, two minions at another group with a crash.

Meanwhile, Erza slashed with her swords at the minions she fought, sending her swords as well.

The minions tried to use their numbers on Mira and Erza, but sadly, couldn't even land a single hit on them.

But suddenly, a large arrow of white energy came at Mira and Erza, but they saw it and quickly jumped away, as it instead struck the minions, sending them all away at different directions.

Erza and Mira looked at the direction the Arrow came from but heard voices at the different direction.

"If you are looking at that direction, you are sure to be mistaken. Be glad I didn't shoot at that direction." A feminine voice, making Erza and Mira turn around to see two figures.

One was a young, beautiful woman with long, curly blonde hair, black lipstick, pink eyes, a beauty mark under her left eye, and dark purple fingernails. She wore a blue kimono, with white, flower-styled lining, a pair of long, red, wooden heels, a pair of white hakama pants and was tied by a red, rope like belt. She is Arrow, the sole female member of Barrage Bane. Arrow was carrying a golden bow with a black string, had golden, flower styled emblem on the front, with a red jewel at the center.

The other one was a man who wore a pair of black boots, dark grey pants, a long, dark green trench coat, a pair of dark brown gloves, and over it, a black hooded cloak. His face and hair color were unknown, since it was covered by a white mask with green eyes. His name is Blade, a member and second in command of Barrage Bane.

As Arrow and Blade walked forward, they saw Mira and Erza, who were standing in a serious tone.

"Well, well, well. It seems that Titania and another Fairy Tail Mage have joined the fray." Arrow said in amusement. "Don't be happy for it. The reason Club were defeated earlier was because of arrogance. Don't make the same mistake as he did, when he fought and lost to that Sand Dragon Slayer." Blade said. "You´re no fun, sometimes." Arrow said in a pouting tone.

"Are they talking about Nadia?" Erza thought, remembering when Natsu were talking about Nadia, he told them that she fought a member of Barrage Bane.

"But whether if your ally has defeated Club or not, you have no chance of winning. You are now gonna be taken down by Barrage Bane, and I, Blade, will make sure of that." Blade said. "You better not forget me as well, Arrow!" Arrow said, and Mira and Erza then prepared to fight as well.

"Seems we got other enemies incoming, Erza." Mira said. "Yeah, but they are probably another level than before." Erza said. "I know that. But I shall take the one with the sword, if that´s okay?" Mira said. "No worries. I shall then take on the one with the Bow." Erza said, which then they dashed towards Arrow and Blade, as another fight was to erupt.

And that does it for this chapter. What do you think? Bad, good? I hope the fights, characters and story were made well within this. I am sorry if this arc goes for too long, but trust me, I will make sure to end it soon as possible. I am still searching for a third beta reader, which you can read the requirements in my profile. I haven't abandoned my story, so stay tuned for more updates! Please review, favorite and follow. See you all later!
