Summary: My thoughts on Erza voiced by Mirajane.

Pairings: Erza/Mirajane friendship, worshipful Minerva/Erza, and a few other friendship feels.

Author's Note: A big thank you to everyone for giving me over TWENTY SIX HUNDRED reviews.

Erza, Minerva, Mira, and the Exceeds were moving quickly. They had to find the others and help them with their battles as well, with magic now gone everyone was vulnerable, and none of them appreciated the thought of those who were incredibly dependant on their magic to left alone in battle against a vicious demon.

They quickly turned round a corner when they were suddenly ambushed by a hoard of minor demons.

"Crap!" Minerva swore as she clutched Frosch protectively to her chest. "What are we going to do now?!"

"Leave this to me," Erza said calmly as she cracked her knuckles and then her neck, "I'll deal with these morons."

And that was when, despite being magic-less and severely injured, Erza proceeded to defeat one demon after another with a series of beautiful and graceful karate moves accompanied with her katana.

Minerva briefly wondered if this was what love felt like because she had never known a person more admirable than Erza Scarlet.

"What the hell?!" one demon shouted. He was as gobsmacked and horrified at the sight as Minerva was in awe and worshipful of it. "Erza Scarlet is the strongest female mage in this stupid guild, she ought to be severely weakened by the loss of magic and easily defeated by us!" The Demon continued as his voice got higher and higher the more panicked he became.

"You know," Mirajane cracked her knuckles, "I'm getting sick and tired of people thinking Erza is the strongest female mage. As a mage she is probably the weakest," her eyes flashed dangerously, "I was the strongest female mage before you tore the magic out of this world."

"B-b-but," the Demon stammered as he smartly took a couple steps away from Mirajane, "she's so strong!"

"If any of you stupid fuckers paid any attention," Mirajane growled uncharacteristically. Happy clung tightly to Minerva's leg and whimpered, Minerva couldn't blame the poor blue cat, Mirajane was usually so nice and sweet, for her to suddenly swear and look so angry…..well even she was terrified. "You would realise that her magic was dependant on her magically enhanced armours and magical weapons. Oh, she can requip," Mirajane said dismissively of Erza's magical power. "She can requip faster than anybody. But everyone has a personal dimension pocket they can use, well use one to store our things when we're travelling on a job…..well apart from Natsu, he's an idiot-"

"Aye," Happy agreed, "Natsu could never work that one out."

Minerva sweat-dropped at that. How could someone so stupid that they couldn't work out the easiest magical spell be so amazing at magic that he single-handedly defeated the Twin Dragon Slayers?!

The world was doomed….

"The truth is," Mirajane's eyes had a proud gleam in them, "if anyone paid any attention they realised at her biggest tests. Whenever she truly does something magnificent, she never uses magic at all."

Minerva's eyes widened as she realised Mirajane Strauss was telling the truth. Both during the third task and her battle with Minerva, Erza transformed into nothing. She wore plain bindings on her breast for decency's sake, a pair of red trousers, and a simple katana for her weapon of choice. There was never any magic involved, though thunder spells, no flaming swords, no anything.

That was probably what pissed her off the most back then, here she was, one of the most powerful fighting mages in the world. The strongest, the best…..and she was defeated by someone who wasn't even trying to use their magic.

Now Minerva just found it incredible.

"I do have to wonder sometimes," Mirajane placed a hand on her cheek, she almost looked like the same old, sweet, kind, and innocent Mirajane. Almost. There was a gleam in her eyes that sent shudders down everyone's spines (apart from Erza, she was too busy fighting to pay any attention to this conversation at all). "If Erza is even human at all. She's so terrifying without magic. And do you know, something?" Mirajane suddenly grabbed the demon by their collar and hauled him close, her face darkened to an almost evil and ferocious look. "I don't need magic to be the biggest bitch around here, either."

The demon screamed while Minerva and the Exceeds all grimaced.

They will not describe what Mirajane had done in those next five minutes as it was going to give them nightmares for years.

Who needs magic? Minerva thought with a shudder. When you have Erza and Mirajane on your side?
