*UPDATED VERSION 8/3/2018*
Millianna POV
"Let's go Erzy-Werzy!" I said and hooked arms with Erzy and Shô.
Yay! Let's go and beat the baddies so we can be together!
"So why did you try and kidnap me?" Erza asked Shô and I.
"Jellal wanted to you to be used in the sacrifice so that we might go to heaven," I said cheerfully, but inside I withered and died a bit on the inside. Why did we ever believe that could EVER happen. "However, now that we know that he was lying about what truly happened that day, who knows what he has also been lying about,"
"You're right," I heard Shô say. He stopped and in turn, we did as well and turned to me. I saw tears streaming down his face. I whispered to Erzy to go to him. He needed a hug and reassurance.
"Why? Why did we believe him!" Shô yelled in between sobs. I came over to the two of them and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Shô, Jellal-kun played all of us," I said in a hard tone, "We were hurting, and he misconstrued what happened so that he could use us to do his work," I finished in a soft tone, staring at the stone floor.
"B-but, but we-"
*SLAP*
I looked up to find Shô with an angry red handprint across his cheek with an angry looking Erzy, with her own tears streaming down her face.
With a steady voice Erza said, "We don't have time for you to have a pity-party Shô. All of us feel awful about these events, but we need to stay focused on what is ahead of us. We cannot have an emotionally wrecked player on the battlefield. Someone will get hurt, mostly likely yourself or your comrades. Get your act together Shô,"
Shô wiped his face and gave an encouraging smile to Erzy. Seems Erzy got him out of head for hopefully a little bit.
"Let's go beat this baddy-nya!" I said, attempting to lighten the atmosphere. I grabbed both of their arms to get them to start moving again, while also having emotional support from them.
We walked in comfortable silence again, leaning silently on each other for support, until the hallway opened up into a giant room with a raised walkway. There was a woman standing in the middle of the walkway in a traditional japanese outfit and a sword attached to her side.
"Welcome, Titania and traitors, to my arena," the woman said to them. We all tensed into our defensive positions.
"I presume you must be Ikagura, member of Trinity Raven," Erzy said to the lady. She just smirked in response, a clear indicator that Erzy was correct.
We must be prepared. This is one of the meanies Jellal-kun hired. I then reached to my magic and prepared to attack when an opening appears.
Erza POV
We must be wary. I will have to be up front since she uses swordplay like me.
"Yes. I am a member of Trinity Raven, Ikagura,"
"You're one of the meanies Jellal-kun hired!" Millianna said.
"Yes, Jellal hired us to protect the Tower. Currently, that means exterminating the rodents and traitors that threaten the Tower," Ikagura said in a bored tone.
"So we must fight you to get to Jellal," I said.
"Yes," she said and we both got into attacking positions.
"Shô, Millianna, provide support but do not close in, do you understand?" I called behind me while staring into my opponent's eyes.
"Hai!" they both replied, and I jumped into action.
I activate my magic and requipped into my Heaven's Wheel armor.
"Dance my Blades!" and sent a dozen blades in her direction. Right when they were about to make contact, she took out her sword and sliced. Somehow in that one swipe she was able to stop all may blades and send them crumbling to the ground in pieces. Due to my momentum, I was headed toward her, so I summoned another blade and readied another attack. Again, she swiped as I was about to attack, and I threw me to the ground, and my armor and sword we shattered again.
"Erzy/Sister!" I heard before the swish of cards was sent over my head. I need to get away from her. Suddenly. I felt something around my ankle and pulling me backwards, away from Ikagura. Instinctively, I requipped a sword, about to chop whatever was on my ankle, until I realized it was pulling me away from the threat. I looked to where I was being pulled and saw Millianna, pulling me away from the battle.
"Thanks Millianna," I told her while getting up off the floor.
"No problem Erzy! Though Shô may need some help soon. Like now," she said while looking towards the battle at hand. I turned around to see Shô sending wave after wave of cards, but each wave fell to pieces long before it reached their mark.
"I'm going back in. Make sure he isn't maimed while I get there!" I yelled to Millianna while rushed into battle, requipping into my Nightwing armor and matching sword. I intercepted Ikagura while she was defending Shô's cards. I was hoping for a hit but she easily defended the attack.
"Oh? Back for more?" Ikagura said with a sickening smile. Suddenly, my armor cracked again and both my sword and armor crumbled to the floor. Again?! How!
I requipped into my Flame Empress armor and sword and rushed to her. We clashed swords and struggled for a few moments before jumping back. I immediately jumped into the air and sent a fire blast toward her. She swiped through it but I was already headed to her, hoping to get a swipe on her. She not only deflected the blast but also my attack. And then my armor fell around me. Again.
Time Skip 30 minutes later
We have been trying to to get a shot on her and still failed in combination. Most of my armors and swords are destroyed at this point.
"This has gone on for too long," Ikagura said. As she said that, she swung her sword. I blocked but from the sound behind me, Shô nor Millianna did.
"AHH!" they painfully screamed from the blow.
"Shô! Millianna!" I yelled and turned around to make sure they were okay.
"Wrong move Titania," I heard before I let out a painful yell of my own and my armor shattered yet again.
"Sister/Erzy!" I heard.
I stood back up in my destroyed armor, and glared at Ikagura. I faintly heard Oh shit, sister is getting serious but I was too focused on my enemy.
"You will regret hurting my family," I said in a deathly tone.
"No, I won't, but you will regret ever coming back to this tower," and with a grin, she shot forward.
We traded blows far too fast to see, but after another minute, we jumped back again. I requipped into my final armor, Japanese cloth and corresponding swords. These swords give extra attack and the armor dedicates all of the power towards attack but no defense. This will be a gamble, but I will take it, to save my friends and my family. I'm already low on magic. This will have to count. I slowed my breathing and began to center myself.
*Scoff* "Have you begun to randomly requip already? Or is this your last armor? I thought the Great Titania was supposed to be smart," I heard Ikagura taunt.
I focused my mind.
"Sister what are you doing!" I heard Shô call out.
I became one with my blade.
"Be carefully Erzy!" I heard Millianna call out in encouragement.
I was ready.
I looked up straight into Ikagura's eyes, and with an unspoken cue, we both went for the final strike. Simultaneously, we touched down then waited a moment. It was silent in the hall. Suddenly, we all heard a cracking sound. Seconds later, I heard a cry and the sound of a body hitting the ground. I slowly turn to see Ikagura lying in a heap on the ground, her sword shattered to pieces all around her.
"How is this possible!" she said in a hushed whisper.
"'Cause Fairies will always win,"
So yes, probably me shortest chapter, but there really wasn't much I wanted to change in this scene. Tell me what you thought about it! Love to hear from y'all!
