Begin the battle...
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
"Just so we're clear Natsu..." Said Sara while the whole of Fairy Tail was standing just outside Phantom Lord's Hall in Oak Town "Gajeel is yours, I'm taking Rhia..."
"By all means" Natsu raised a fist "I've got a bone to pick with Gajeel anyways!"
"Aye sir!" chirped Happy.
Makarov pushed through the gathering of Wizards to the front, before slaming down the door, sending three Phantom grunts flying to the other end of the hall.
Everyone looked back towards the intruders "Fairy Tail has come knocking Jose, show yourself!"
"It's Fairy Tail get them!" yelled one of the Phantom Lord grunts.
"Hya!" Natus yelled and let out a weaker version of his wing slash which sent out tendrils of red flame causing the initial charge of six Phantom goons flying away, all charred up and blackened.
With the rest of the guild on alert they came charging out from the back, filling up the hall with many Phantom wizards, maybe double the Fairy Tail numbers. However these were all goons and lackeys, with little magical talent compared to the Fairy Tail ones.
Ten Phantom goons surrounded Erza who switched to her Heaven's wheel armor and quickly dispatched them with many swords flying about her.
Gray had sent an Ice lance into a group of clustered P.L men and used an Ice bomb to trigger an explosion in the lance which froze all his targets solid.
Sara who had changed to her Paladin Class before the battle, dressed in full Bloodforged Plate armor, similar to what the Blood Knights of Silvermoon wore clapped her hands together causing the ground about her to become bathed in holy fire causing anyone who would come close to her who was hostile to catch fire.
Some guy who tried to charge her got a shield to the face after she had yelled "Hey I hear you like shields!" and threw her shield at him which ricochet off him and about five others taking them down for the count.
"Hey that's her!" Exclaimed one of the Phantom Grunts, "She's the one who thrashed Gajeel during his attack on Fairy Tail!" before a golden holy hammer slammed into his face him instantly.
Several Phantom goons flew off the steps to the upper levels, the Master making his way up them after Jose "Erza, you lead the others to finish off the rabble! I'm going after Jose!"
"Yes sir! You heard him people! Lets finish this!"
*Ka-boom*
A crater was created at the point of impact, it caught the attention of everyone in the battle... emerging from the crater was a man with long black hair and studs on his face, Gajeel.
"I think its time I joined the party..." he growled
"As do I" said a Purple skinned Night Elf as she came out of the shadows and unlike Gajeel landed off the second floor without so much as a sound.
Natsu and Sara were side by side as they noticed the new opponents... "Gajeel is mine..." said Natsu, growling...
Then he heard an inhuman sound coming from Sarandra, he looked over to see her fiery green eyes replaced by ice cold blue ones. "Yeah fine by me..." she hissed. She blinked again and they reverted back to her green eyes... Natsu raised an eyebrow but there were more pressing matters at hand, and so he charged Gajeel, sending him flying back into the wall. "I'm gonna beat you to a pulp!" he yelled
Sara respected into a Rogue, wearing purple and golden trimmed leather armor (Bonechewer Armor) and crippled three Phantom Grunts on her way to Rhia the Night Elf. Just as she was almost in melee range she reached to her belt and threw a poisoned knife at Rhia which she parried with a long and wide dagger before pulling her Bow out from her back. She jumped back and stuck to the wall with only her feet, her body muscles holding her upright as she notched and fired a Poisonous arrow at her target, who easily side stepped the shot.
Natsu over to the side had just gotten a mouth full of fire... Sara's element had yet to be thrown into the fray however. Until someone blasted her with black and green shadow tendrils, which she was able to down much like Natsu with fire.
"S-she just ate Pure Shadow Energy! Shouldn't she be dead with all that dark energy in her!?"
"I can also eat Arcane energy..." she smirked "Surprisingly enough being a Dragonslayer makes me immune to the side-effects of magic consumption..." meaning no matter how much magic she consumed she'd never become a Wretched like many other Blood Elves who overdosed on magic and magic items.
"Black Dragon Infernal Destruction! A large black magic circle appeared at her feet, spreading outwards.
"Huh..." Huffed Rhia "I'm an Emerald Dragonslayer, Sleep, Wind and Earth are my elements, which means I have a fairly large arsenal of Magical nullifying spells at my call." Her eyes narrowed. "Not as many as the Azure Flight but still quite a few... Earth Barrier!" she held her hands out and all her allies within forty yards gained a pair of floating brown orbs around them which would absorb the next spell they took damage from.
Sara clenched her fist sending a wave of black destructive force out from her slamming into all her enemies in twenty yards, those who were unfortunate enough to miss out on the Earth Barrier were sent slamming hard into walls, pillars and tables, easily breaking all their bones on impact. Those who had shields were still knocked off their feet with little more than bruises and bumps.
"That was nothing..." said Rhia
"You ain't seen nothing yet..."
Suddenly the Guild started to shake... each shake felt like a minor earthquake.
"W-what is that!?" Exclaimed a Phantom Grunt
"That... is what happens when Master Makarov gets pissed..." Said Cana
"When he's angry the master is even manlier!" Added Elfman.
A few minutes of tense combat passed before something fell out of the rafters and created a crater.
"What was that!?"
"Master!" Wailed Erza as she knelt to check on him. "He's in bad condition..."
The Phantom Lord guild took this news with pride, with their master beaten Fairy Tail was weak and if even Makarov could be beaten so easily then the Guild would fall soon. "Their Master is down! Now attack!"
"Fall back!" ordered Erza "Thats an order!"
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Outside the Phantom Guild the retreating Fairy Tail guild was cut off from their escape route... or more like was being chased... by one person...
At the top of the Cliffs over looking Oak Town where a clear cobblestoned field of sorts lay one of their strageling members got attacked...
*Wa-bam*
Sara got sent flying into a park bench, almost falling off the side of the city cliffs but grabbing hold of the edge, pulling herself back up... she was back in Paladin gear so pulling herself up wasn't easy.
Natsu was missing, having gone in search of Lucy... but the rest of the guild was there to defend her against the attacker.
When Sara saw her assailant it was Rhia, the Night Elf Emerald Dragonslayer. Sara drew her sword. "So you wanted more huh?"
"I can't just let you all get away, you are all allied with the Horde and you must be put down!" screamed Rhia
"Is this what this is all about to you!?" Replied Sara, waving the Fairy Tail members off, this was to be her fight, but they may watch... "Horde Versus Alliance!? This is Earthland! As far as I'm concerned there are no Horde and Alliance here! Don't be foolish!"
"Foolish!? You think I'm being foolish!? This is for vengeance, Horde Orcs killed my friends I'd known for thousands of years! All horde must die!"
"Don't you understand the gravity of the situation here!? I wasn't sent here on some Horde mission! Look at that symbol on your stomach!" Sara pointed out the winged tower tattoo on her thin but muscled stomach. "Wyrmrest Accord, you and I are here for the same purpose! So put your blades down!"
"Never!" and the Night Elf came at the Blood Elf. "Emerald Dragon Mists of Evisceration!" a cloud of green mist enveloped Sara, the small particles were like barbs cutting into her skin and causing a vast about of minor cuts on her body. When the mist cleared her body was cut up and despite each wound only bleeding slightly, all the cuts looked like she was bleeding more than she was.
"Is see your pulling out the big guns here... very well..." Sara dropped her sword. "You may have Phantom lord, you may love your petty alliance... but hear this... SCREW THE HORDE!" Sara yelled "In this world, I don't fight for the Horde, I don't even fight for The Accord... I fight for Fairy Tail! Though I've been in this guild but a few days! In my heart I've been with them forever!"
The Fairy Tail Guild members seemed to be taken by shock from this statement. Erza may have even teared a bit.
"If you cross them you will pay more than if you crossed any of the Horde, I will not let you destroy them because of something which has nothing to do with them! They are the most caring people I've met, they let me in on a moment's notice with no judgemental ideas upon realising who I am, a clean slate! If you think they are anything like those who killed your friends, you know nothing!"
"Black Dragon Shadowfire Fist!" Sara lunged at the Night Elf striking her in the chest with a fist of black flames, before following up with her other fist, plain and simple with an insulting bitch smack across the face knocking her on her butt.
The night elf kicked out and took out Sara's legs, tripping her. Sarandra rolled aside to her feet before sending a high kick at Rhia, which was caught. Thinking she had the upper hand Rhia pushed forward trying to send the Blood Elf over but this was not the case. Sara had planned for this and with the force used the push her back, used the momentum to set her other foot on fire with her shadowflames, kicking Rhia in the pelvis area, pushing off her and vaulting off her hands doing a backflip back onto her feet.
A short fist fight engaged with no magic before the Blood Elf caught Rhia by her neck, holding her at arms length. "Tell me why I should spare you." said Sara
"I'll not... plead to you just to fulfil your sadistic desires monster!" grimaced Rhia
"Just give me one."
"NO! I'm not finished, Green Dragon Elemental Gusts!" Rhia forced her hand out towards Sarandra's Face sending a forceful jet of air blasting her back, letting the Night Elf go.
There was a snap and the Fairy Tail guild members all gasped, Rhia looked over her handywork.
"I did it..." she muttered "I killed her!" she looked over the Blood elf, whose neck she'd snapped back with her wind jet so that is almost was turned around 180 degrees...
"Y-you killed Sara!" Wailed Gray.
The Night Elf turned around to face them "She deserved it!"
"You killed one of our Guild members! You won't get away with this! If the master was alright he'd have ripped your head off for killing one of our family!"
The Night Elf backed up, getting ready to flee or fight if she had to... but something stopped her, the boy with black hair and half naked turned pale... then the rest of the Fairy Tail did as well...
A hand touched her shoulder, it was ice cold, so cold her skin froze upon its touch... she looked back so see the one she thought she had killed, her neck snapped back around her shoulder, she got kicked forward, pivoting to look at this... thing...
It reached up to her head and grabbing it, snapped it back around with a gruesomely loud crack. It cracked its jaw twice before flexing its neck. The skin of it was a blueish pale black with bleach blue pale hair... the eyes snapped open, ice cold blue with mists like melting dry ice coming off them.
Her voice was hollow and echoy, but still familiar... "You know..." said Sara "That actually stung a little..."
"W-what are you!?" Exclaimed Erza
"No... you can't be... that's even worse! Death Knight!"
Black armor adorned with skulls and bones matirialized around her, being formed of ice before the top layer of ice melted away revealing the plate armor itself. It still left her stomach out however, and had black fur fittings with glowing blue gems embedded into it (the DK Blue starting gear)
"I can't apologize enough to hiding this from you Fairy Tail... I was afraid... I've scared enough people by revealing who I really am..." she held her hand out, a massive blue runic blade forming out of ice, then shattering to reveal a black saronite blade with blue, green and red runes drawn on the length of the blade with an essence of death coming off of them. "But you still hurt Fairy Tail... I cannot forgive you for that, in death or not... Know... That I. WILL. HAUNT YOU!" she sheathed her sword "And know, we're not done here!" she reeled back.
"Black Dragon secret art" A large dragon seemed to appear behing Sarandra, missing a jaw which had been replaced with black steel, its eyes glowed with an evil golden fire and it was bathed in shadowflame. Deathwing's Wrath of Power!" a large tendril of black shadow caught Rhia and brought her high into the sky, Sarandra following as though she had black angelic wings of flame. About twenty meters up the tendrils let go before quickly circling around and slamming the night elf into the ground with tremendous force, making a massive crater in the stone walkways and sending out an explosion of black smoke, it had also knocked most of Fairy Tail off their feet.
Sara landed next to the Night Elf who was writhing in pain... the Night Elf looked up at the Blood Elf... or Dark Elf... whatever she was now...
Once the rest of the Fairy Tail guild regained their footing and returned to the epicenter of the explosion, they found Sara holding the Night Elf on one knee while feeding her a red potion, trickling it down her throat...
The night elf coughed before coming to...
"Y-you could have just let me die..." she wheezed.
The shocked Fairy Tail just looked curiously at Sara as she glanced back at them with undead eyes. She smiled, it was still as pretty as when she was in her living state... other than the skin and eye color changes, she looked no less pretty or beautiful that she had before. (She kinda looks like Sylvanas in a sense, but with light blue hair and eyes) "If being with Fairy Tail has taught me anything... its that we spare our opponents."
"W-why?"
Sara chuckled "Isn't it obvious... Pfft! No one dies in Fairy Tail!"
"Huh?"
"Oh wait... the wall..." she coughed regaining her composure after having broken an invisible fourth wall. "Nothing..."
"Sara..." Started Erza "What are you?"
Sara stood and turned around to face Erza "I'm what those back home call a death knight... We're undead..."
Erza looked troubled by this "Necromancy is a forbidden magic here..."
"Its not like it was my choice... It was forced upon me, and the other Death Knights... in life I was a powerful Paladin, but that was before the Wrath of the Lich king... during the Burning Crusade we waged upon Illidan the Betrayer and the Demonic masses of the Burning Legion... You see..." Sara pulled out a black potion from her satchel, the same sludgy substance she had claimed was medicine. "This is a blight drink, not something for the living to consume..." she downed it easily and color returned to her, her skin becoming tanned and peachy, her eyes returning to their fel green and her hair going bright red again. "These potions provide considerable Runic Power to Death Knights, which is what power our spells, its much different from Mana, Magic Power or really any other type of Magical energy. We gain it through the use of Runes and simply from killing and soul absorption..." she shook her back, making her runic blade more prominently focused on. "Anyways before I left Alexstrasza the Queen of Dragons, the Lifebinder taught me how to convert my runic power into a sort of... life guise... it made me seem... well... alive... not undead... however while this form is active I cannot use any runic powers without dropping my Respec magic, and my Death Knight form is my most powerful form... back home I was considered a Level 82 Elite Death Knight in my guild, which is our form of ranking system. Though by now I'd wager I'm probably at least Level 95 or 100 Elite..." she sighed "again I'm really sorry about any trouble I've caused you."
"No, I'm sorry" said Erza
"Huh?"
"I should have noticed sooner, then you wouldn't have to have hidden yourself... you didn't bring this curse upon yourself, it was forced upon you unwillingly... I don't want you to feel excluded from this guild, no matter who you are we will accept you. You acted valiantly today, for Fairy Tail... I don't think I could find a more honorable individual. Now... if you wish, you may strike me..."
*sweat drop*
"Thaaanks?"
"No problem"
*slap*

My chapters are little of late, but so is my imagination...
I'll try to make longer chapters later on, once I can focus on the other members since you already know what happens as far as the anime goes so if I wrote it down I'd just be repeating shit...
Anyways if you enjoyed why not fave and follow this fic so you can stay in the know of updates.
As for feed back I'd appreciate it if you dropped me a review, if it is negative, constructive criticism is the best you can offer!
WTYL guys,
