Her Champion
Author`s note: (Me walking into my room, all happy that I am on my vacation. I turn on my PC and get on League of legends).
5 days later…
(Still on my PC playing when suddenly something hits me in the back of my head)
"Owwww…" I rub the sore spot "WHAT THE HELL!"
I turn around to see my other self glaring at me.
"You lazy idiot. Are you not forgetting something?" He asked angerly
I look at him confused before saying "No…"
"BAM"
A Frying pan to the head.
"YOU BAKA! DON`T YOU HAVE A STORY TO WRITE, YOU DAMN MONGROLE!"
Oh Yeah… Hehe XD
No, but for real sorry, it took me so long to get another chapter out. I just got a two weeks vacation from my work and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. Been also grinding some league and Tekken, so time just flew by.
I hope you guys are not mad at me for being a baka that I am.
Enough talk. Enjoy.
Chapter 5
I choose you
The door of Erza`s room opened with her coming inside. She had a smile on her face with a victorious spark in her eyes. She now had control over a fire dragon slayer, over a man who managed to fight with her and even beat her. She watched him struggle in pain as he tried to attack her only to submit to her orders and bow down to her. Just like he is supposed to do.
However, this feeling in her gut did not sit well with Erza. This feeling that she just couldn`t shake off. As if it was telling her that she did something wrong, something she should not have done.
She ignored it and requipped into her nightgown. It was now night time and she was exhausted after these past two days. She was about to get under her covers when the door opened behind her.
She quickly turned around with a sword already lunched from her hand and towards the one who opened it. That poor soul was Lucy who opened the door to quickly and did not know that the princess was there. Her life flashed before her eyes as the sword flow towards her, a single tear left her right eye before closing both of them, not gonna even try to dodge.
She waite… B ut it never came.
She opened one eye to see that the sword has stopped right in front of her. The tip of it almost touching her forehead. The sword was pulled back by magic to Erza`s side as it disappeared in a bright light.
"Sorry about that Lucy. You can never let your guard down, no matter where you are" she told Lucy in an icy voice.
Lucy just laughed nervously and told her its okay. Erza set down at the edge of her bed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Well. Did you need something?"
Lucy`s widen in realization as she remembers why she came here.
"Ah yes… Pardon my disturbance my lady, but the queen wanted me to tell you, that she would like to speak with you right now."
"God, what does she want now…" Erza thought as she let out a tired sigh. The bright light appeared again as her adamantine armor (this time with the helmet) appeared around her. She walked by Lucy and towards the throne room.
"Gezz... A thank you wouldn`t hurt you, you know." Lucy thought as she watched the princess disappear around the corner.
In the throne room:
Irene was sitting on her throne with a message scroll in her hands. She was reading it over again for what felt like a thousand time checking if it was not her eyes playing tricks on her. A smile placed upon her lips did not grow nor fall, it was a perfect show of satisfaction. The sound of the door being opened made her break out of her thoughtfulness.
Erza walked inside with an unpleased look on her face. She bowed down to her like a knight in front of their king.
"Rise Erza" Erza did as told "I have very pleasant news"
Erza raised an eyebrow at her mother`s happy tone. She knew she only got like that when she was either getting what she wants or when something that could benefit her appears.
"I only hope it`s worth enough for me to come here at this time," Erza told Irene. Her mother ignored her and tossed her the message scroll. Erza read through it before looking at her mother as if she has grown a second head.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!" Angry shout from the warrior princess made the guards inside the room jump as Erza tossed the scroll away "A TOURNAMENT TO DECIDE THE BRIDE FOR PRINCE JELLAL OF FIORE KINGDOM. ALL FEMALE PRINCESSES ARE TO ENTER!"
Irene kept a calm face throughout Erza`s shouting, waiting for the raging fire that is her daughter to settle down.
"WHAT KIND OF BULLSHIT IS TH-"
"THAT`S ENOUGH!" Irene yelled out stopping Erza`s rent and surprising the guards. They never heard the queen yell at her daughter.
Irene took a breath to calm down before explaining to Erza her plan.
"Erza... once again you fail to see the bigger picture" Erza`s face turned into one of confusion "You see. This is a great chance to show the other kingdom who is the dominant one"
"To show who you are and to let your name be heard beyond the walls of Alvarez. For your glory and status to reach even bigger heights. Don`t you want that?"
Erza was about to reply but closed her mouth as thought about it. She did not want to be someone`s who she did not know wife, but having people of Fiore acknowledge her strength would be a good thing for her. With Fiore being one of the most respected kingdoms in the world, making a stand there would help her image greatly.
"I will say, mother... That does sound very promising. However, I will not become anyone's wife"
Irene sighed at her daughter`s stubbornness and decided to let her be. She did not want another argument in the middle of the night.
"Very well my dear... Do as you wish" Irene said with a wave of her hand
"Then I will accept this invitation and I will make our kingdom and our name proud," Erza said as she picked up the scroll and was about to walk out from the throne room.
"Oh, fufu... It seems like your temper got the best of you before you read the whole thing" Erza stopped in front of the door and looked at her mother with a raised eyebrow. "It`s not the princesses that will be fighting in the tournament."
Irene got up from her throne and begin to walk to the door that was on the left side of the room.
"It`s their male champions." With that Irene disappeared behind the doors of her room.
...
...
...
Erza stood there in the silence of the room. Guards sweating in fear at the murderous intent that Erza was radiating. Her shoulders shook in anger, her helmet shadowed her face as her teeth grind against each other.
"SLAM!"
A loud bang was heard through the silenced room as Erza rushed through the doors and to her room.
Once there she slammed her own doors and released an angry roar. She threw her armguards, gauntlets, and shoulder pads off in her rage as she pushed some of the items off her table. She slammed her fists against the table as her rage begin to calm down. Thankfully the table did not break under her fists and allowed her to lean on it as she set down in the chair.
"What am I going to do..." She said to no one in particular as she ran her hands over her face "Why. Why do I need a champion..."
She did not know what to think. It was like her mother just baited her into this. She knew Erza was not that much of a social person, much less a man lover. But to get a male champion to fight for her.
That is close to impossible for her.
Every man in her kingdom is afraid of her. Not only that she personally told them when she was talking to her kingdom on top of her castle balcony, that if any one of them even thinks about coming onto her. They will no longer be able to have kids.
And ever since then not even one of them looked her way.
She sighed, knowing that this was impossible. She will just go to her mother in the morning and tell her that can not do it. She reaches out with her in order to pick up the scroll she tossed away with her armor. But stopped once she saw something red on her right shoulder.
It was a red dragon stamp.
Her eyes opened wide as she looked at it. Her brain working over this new realization as she ran her hand over the stamp.
She did know a man who looks her way, who even fought her and injured her, not only that he even talked back at her.
And this man...
Was...
Under her...
Will...
A feral grin came onto her face. She picked up the scroll and the thrown parts of her armor before heading towards the arena.
Time to pay a visit to the dragon.
In arena dungeons:
Erza walked alone in torch lighted halls of arena dungeons. Her armor making noise while she walked down the cobblestone floor, making her way to the one prisoner that will help her in her mission. When she arrived at his cell, he was already fast asleep snoring away at anything that could bother him. He was leaning on the wall with his back, making him look like he fell asleep while sitting up.
Erza picked up a rock from the ground and thew it at Natsu`s head. It hit but he just kept on snoring.
She threw another.
and another.
and another one.
A thick mark appeared on her forehead as she threw a larger rock at him.
That did the trick and he woke up with a loud "OUCH". When he looked up at her his face changed from anger to irritation as he leaned back to the wall.
"Oh great, what do you want now. Came to make sure I do not get any sleep?" He asked with his arms crossed over his chest
"I Erza "Scarlet" Belserion claim you as my champion Natsu Dragneel," She said in a serious and commanding tone
"Huh?" Was Natus reply
Erza ignored him and continued talking "and as my champion, you will conquer all enemies that stand between me and my goal. You fight, you will bleed and you will sweat until my ambition has become a reality and all know my name"
Natsu blinked at her, not believing what he was hearing. Erza smiled as she watched Natsu`s dumbfound expression with a grin on her face. She thought she finally made him speechless, that he was so filled with shock that he couldn`t say anything. Oh how it felt good to shut him up.
"No."
...
"WHAT!"
