Natsu let Erza lead him to the bed, he enclosed his lip's over hers again as they fell slowly against the bed, he ran his hand's up and down her sides and her hands wrapped around his neck tightly, he pulled back to breath, He leaned forward and left a small trail of kisses along her neck up back to her mouth ghosting over her lips and causing her body to shiver slightly as he moved back down her neck, he found a spot the elicited a small moan from the girl and her focused on that spot, she turned her head to give him better access, he moved his hands down and started bringing her shirt up before.

BANG BANG BANG!

The three knock's hit the door loudly and he jumped back, Erza sat up more slowly a deep crimson coloring her cheeks.

"Natsu! We got a problem!" Rikimaru's voice sounded through the door, Natsu bounded to the closet he had discarded Karite in and retrieved his scythe.

He walked towards the door and stopped, he turned to Erza who just tied a set of knives into the loop's on her left leg, the two small Katanas were already sheathed on her back the hilt's on either side of her head, she looked at him for a moment, He closed the distance in what seemed like a step, taking her lips in his again he smiled "We'll save the village, then finish what we started."

She grinned at him seductively "I'll hold you to that."

He just nodded as he disappeared out o the door and down the hall, he ran into Grey on his way, the man regarded him with a cold nod before falling into step beside him, the group met up slowly as they neared the south gate, the ran up a long set of steps that led to the top of the wall, looking out at the large clearing at the forest.

Natsu could make out what looked like men, well at least the shapes of them anyway. Their skin was all black and seemed to writhe like smoke in the confines of their bodies, they dragged swords, axes, maces and other assorted armaments.

"Men who were killed by demon's, they become corrupted the result is what you see in front of you, we call them Formers." Karite explained as he examined.

Erza ran into step beside him "What's the plan?"

Natsu continued to watch the approaching figures "Karite, what can you tell me?"

"Removing their head's puts them down for good, they can phase through solid object's so wall's and gates mean nothing too them, their touch chill's you to the bone and if you are held by one for too long your heart freezes." Karite answered quickly.

"Behead them and don't let them touch you," Natsu relayed to the group "Also we have to meet them outside, the wall won't hold them at all they can move right through it, people are still evacuating, so we hold them here." The group nodded and Natsu vaulted the wall, falling with nothing but the sound of whipping clothes against the wind, Natsu landed heavily and the ground split apart beneath him, he glared defiantly at the approaching shapes, he would not call them men, they weren't human anymore.

Karite glowed brightly, as his shape shifted in Natsu's hand, he flipped him around and laid him across his shoulder's as he walked forward, He heard the sound's of the others landing behind him. The soft glow drew his attention as he turned to regard the weapon's of his comrades.

Rikimaru's Hand glowed blue for a moment, before the shape changed and a long Katana sat in the place of his gauntlet, very similar to the one he had always used, the Hilt was the same dark blue as the gem that was affixed to the gauntlet itself, He swung the blade around his head once to get a feel for it and smirked 'As natural as walking.' He thought to himself as he moved forward.

Ayame's hand glowed a light purple as the gauntlet shifted, it split into two smaller shapes, the weapon's were a lot like the chain Scythe Karite could transform into, only when she spun the weapons in her hand the blades 180'd like they weren't properly attached to the handle's. She looked at the confused for a moment before the realization that using them would be just as easy as the twin short swords she used to use, only these allowed her to be much more fluid.

Grey's gauntlet glowed bright gold as it changed, the weapon in his hand reminded Natsu of a quarterstaff, on each end a large two pronged blade sat as if the center of a trident was missing, Grey spun it on his palm above his head as he walked forward, he flicked it down one blade grazed the ground while the other was above his shoulder.

Erza drew her two short katanas and spun them in her hand's, they may not be angel weapon's but she was still trained by one of the best and was in no way outmatched by those around her.

One of the Former at the front noticed the set of people in front of it, it raised its free hand and pointed, letting out a deafening screech followed by what sounded like it was clicking it's teeth together quickly. The entire force of the Former in front of them, turned and looked at them with their black hollow eyes, it looked like you were looking into the skull of the main, it was terrifying.

Natsu looked at the people around him, only Erza gave off any hint of being afraid "The power of the former, as angel weapon's we can immunize you to their effect's, but she doesn't have one of her own. Their stare can freeze a human with fear easily."

Natsu shook her lightly, she turned to him the fear in her eyes easily distinguishable, it seemed to disappear as she watched him she smiled at him cockily before glaring at the thing defiantly, Natsu tied the small cord around her neck again, a small piece of Karite was enough to block he was lucky he grabbed it off the dresser in their room.

"Remember we promised this village our protection, Don't let a single one of these thing's past you and don't let a single one back in the forest, We will show the demon's exactly who they are starting a war with." Natsu all but growled his speech, even grey looked impressed as the group charged.

For experimentation Erza loosed a few Kunai she retrieved from a fold in her sleeve, it embedded in one of the monster's forehead, the thing lurched back and seemed as if it were going to fall, before it stopped defying Gravity as it's spin snapped with a loud click and it was suddenly upright again.

"We can't just hit them in the head? We have to take it off clean?" Erza shouted in a little frustration, it would have been easier for her to just stay back and pick them off.

Natsu cleaved set's of five or six of them with wide swings as he spun through the lines of Former, their heads bounced one on the ground as the body faded and melted into nothing, the head following a moment later. Four separate weapon's were swung at him from over head, he ground his foot into the dirt and spun Karite in a circle, the metal clanged as it was forced away, the thing's didn't even stumble, the let the moment of being forced sideway's take them as their upper bodies completely rotated, the sound of snapping bone echoed around him as bones that got in the way broke, Natsu brought Karite around and blocked the new set of strikes each hit landed along the haft of his weapon, the free hand's of the thing's reached out and attempted to latch onto him, He kicked Karite over, the weapon rolled on the arc of its blade and he rolled with it before planted his feet and swinging as neck height in front of him, the bodies melted away with a soft hiss and the thus thudded to the ground before following them soon after.

Rikimaru stood in the centre of a steadily growing horde of the thing's, he had his eyes closed as he waited, one of the creatures to his left teeth chattered again as it moved forward, swinging the large spiked mace it held over its head, Rikimaru side stepped and swiped it at the neck, his sword went through cleanly, the rest moved in quickly, he ducked and weaved before spinning on his heel taking the head's of four creatures as once as he sidestepped another of the overhead strikes with a quick slash the head thumped to the ground, the hand's of the thing's behind him reaching out and he spun his weapon the arm's fell to the ground, he stepped back once before relieving their shoulder's of some weight. He raised his gauntlet as a sword clattered against it, he swiped the owner of the weapon and watched the body disintegrate with a hiss before jumping away from another blow and followed his pattern.

Ayame caught the weapon's in the blade of her small blades, with a flourish her blades spun around the weapon's of the former sending them clattering uselessly away, he rotated on her heel and the head's of the Former to her left and right fell to the ground, she ducked and cut the leg's from one in front of her as it came in from above her head, it toppled slightly at the loss of the limb as she front flipped over its head cutting it off on her way over, and hand reached over her shoulder and she threw her blade in a quick flip behind her before catching it by the handle and spinning it through said creatures neck, it sliced cleanly the hissing of the body melting filled her ear's as she watched the rest of the large group in front of her.

Grey spun his weapon widely, he growled as it didn't cut clean it was jagged and he was forced to hit two or maybe three times to bring the thing's down. He couldn't shake a feeling of despair, whether it be at his current situation or the recent death of his closest family he didn't know. "You are supposed to be the embodiment of Valor!" The weapon growled at him, in a deep and unfriendly voice.

Grey gritted his teeth "How can I be Valor if you can't even make a clean cut."

"My sharpness relies on your courage, and you have lost that courage…If you do not find it…you will die." The weapon fired back.

Grey glared at the thing's in front of him as he continued to back away, if he couldn't cut cleanly it was difficult, he looked to his left. Nothing but open field, he could run…Save himself and leave this good for nothing town and its inhabitants for dead. He watched the gap gradually begin to close before squaring his shoulder's and spinning the weapon over his head, he flashed a 'try and kill me' grin and glared at the creatures in front of him "When I get to heaven, my sister is going to be there to greet me, Let's see if one of you miserable sack's of shit can send me there!" He growled, he shot forward, spinning the weapon around quickly, it sliced quickly through the thing's in front of him. He smirked, the feeling of despair had left him a few moment's ago.

"What changed?" The weapon asked curiously, the unfriendly edge still in the voice, but lessened slightly.

"I remembered something." Grey answered.

Flashback

Grey sharpening a Katana on his bed, he watched his adoptive sister, now in her early teen's run up to him an excited grin on her face. She had black hair and Black hair and dark blue eyes, a lot like his own if only a little lighter. The large grin on her face brought him a small smile.

"What's up?" He asked curiously.

"I got my first mission!" She exclaimed excitedly, although the smile disappeared and was replaced by a worried visage, He frowned at her for a moment.

"What's wrong?" He asked

"I just got worried, what if I get attacked I freeze up and then I die…Who is going to look after you if I am gone?" She asked genuinely concerned.

Grey ruffled her hair a little bit with a reassuring smile, "All you need to remember is this," He paused for a little effect "Fear Is for The Enemy!" She shouted pumping his fist in the air.

She smiled at him sheepishly "Yeah, by the time they see me coming they will already be dead."

End flashback

Grey's smirk never left his face, that was the mission the Hierarchy betrayed his trust, it was his last memory with his sister, the smile waned slightly as he sliced another Former down.

"That's right! Fear is for the Enemy!" He shouted defiantly, his weapon inwardly smirked at the outburst, but if it gave him courage it made him stronger.

He spun the weapon around himself, as he bent low letting it spin over his back, as he moved it up sending weapons the things swung at him flying, forcing them to claw at him in an attempt to her a hold of him, the arm's followed the weapon's and then the head's hit the ground as he continued like a top cutting anything in a small radius to shred's.

Erza crossed her blades at the neck of the thing in front of her, bringing them across cutting the head off cleanly, she noticed with every one she killed her sword's seemed to her blacker, she frowned down at the substance coating the blades, it wasn't blood but it gave her bad feeling, she cart wheeled to avoid a large axe swung down at her, sprinting past its wielder and slicing it's neck as she moved past, and then she heard it, a small chink, like metal being shipped away, she looked at the small katana in her left hand and sure enough the blade cracked through and fell uselessly to the ground, she jumped back, and even though she knew it wouldn't kill any threw a stack of Kunai at the closest targets causing the same lurch it had with the first test she had done, the second blade hissed slightly before the blade broke off. She was backed against the wall of the town, she had nowhere to go at all.

"Natsu!" She screamed at eh top of her lung's, squeezing her eyes shut, and kneeling down, she had one Kunai left in the loop of her right leg, she grabbed the weapon and stared down at it, she knew even with Natsu's skill there were too many for him to make it to her, she gripped the hilt of the weapon shakily and watched it, she looked at eh group of steadily enclosing shadowy figures, all staring at her with their hollowed eye socket's, shuffling towards her causing the ear grating sound of dirt being moved with dragged feet, metal clinked as some of them bumped into each other. The same slow pace, she rocked back and forth.

"ERZA!" The voice was Natsu's, and it snapped her head up away from the point of a Kunai that was dangerously close to being stuck in her eye, she shook her head she felt like she had been dreaming for some reason. Although her situation was still terrible.

Natsu grit his teeth at the scream, he wasn't stupid but he wasn't one to ever go back on his word and he didn't care if it killed him, so screamed back he wasn't sure is she heard but he screamed anyway. He back flipped into the air and finished a wide arc around him as he did, he heard the sound of what reminded him of a waterfall, he looked up and snarled, a large group of the thing's seemed to be melding together, growing much larger, as the continued before stopping, Naruto stared up at the large figure, it was a tall as the wall of the town, It looked just like a much taller version of any of the former around him, although it's fist was closed and didn't seem like it could open at all, it gave him and idea. As the thing reared back, he angled himself in the direction he knew Erza was, the fist flew at him and he jumped into the air, putting the inside of the blade under his feet, the blow connected and jarred him slightly, but his plan worked perfectly, he sprung himself like a top taking the head's of every Former beneath him as he sped towards the steadily enclosing circle around Erza, he spotted her, Her last Kunai was too close to her eye "ERZA!" He practically billowed, she started and looked around, he let out a sigh as she appeared in control of her own mind. Although she couldn't see him, he and rotated landing in front of her, dragging dirt with his feet as he swung in a wide arc, the group around Erza was significantly smaller than the ones beforehand, he wondered if they knew their target's were the ones with Weapon's like his, although the thought was fleeting as he continued to drive the things away. He finished the last one and panted heavily.

"Erza," He turned around, she held her hands over her ears she had her knee's up to her chest and her eyes squeezed shut, he bent down and touched her shoulder lightly, she startled at the contact but when he withdrew her eyes snapped open, Natsu gave her a reassuring smile and her hands gradually lowered, tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at him in surprise, like she wasn't sure if he was actually there "Erza." He said again, a little more forcefully this time.

She seemed to snap back to reality, she all but sprang forward locking him in a tight embrace, a chink of metal was heard as the final medallion fell from his coat pocket, it hit Erza's foot and seemed to magnetize to it, Natsu was being squeezed so tight he had trouble breathing.

"I-I-I-I N-Nearly." He placed finger over her mouth and she breathed heavily.

"It's alright." Natsu reassured, it was, she was safe, well safe for now and she wasn't dead.

The bright white glow drew both of their attention, as Erza looked at her left arm, a gauntlet of pure white, almost pearl white sat on her left arm, the picture of an owl printed over it. Natsu smiled 'Only one more to wait on.' he thought.

"Why hello their wisdom," Natsu said almost sarcastically "You ready to show off a little more?"

Erza looked at the weapon in her hand, then back to Natsu and nodded, she would be damned if she lost her will now and with a weapon of her own, one that wouldn't break. She felt renewed.

She tugged the small cord that held the piece of Karite off her neck and handed it back to Natsu, he reset it into the hole Karite had forced it out off.

"It feels good to be whole again." Karite announced, with a relief in his voice akin to that of when Natsu rolled his shoulder's and everything felt like it was clicking back into place.

"You sure your alright?" Natsu asked again.

Erza nodded "You better go help out, I will be along in a moment."

Natsu seemed like he wanted to stay, but a loud roar brought his attention back to Former that had grown by merging with others 'At least there is only one.'

"You are like Karite right?" Erza asked the weapon on her arm, it was silent for a few moments before an answer finally came.

"Yes," The voice was feminine, if you could call something that booming that, it laced with what seemed like hundreds of years of experience and emotions, like everything it spoke was one hundred percent the truth and disputing it was foolish "My name is Amaria." (A/N: Pronounced A-Mar-ia, for those who were wondering.)

Erza nodded "Just to be clear, you won't break like my last weapon's when I kill these things will you?"

Amaria chuckled "Of course not, there is only one force strong enough to destroy an angel weapon and its existence has long since been erased."

Erza nodded again before the same brilliant bright light enveloped her hand, Amaria's shape shifted and Erza stared down at her new weapons, The handles were in an off place, right at the centre of the blade, it was straight for a short distance then it hooked over almost completely a pointed barb at the end of the loop, the hand guard was also bladed, Erza moved them around her they felt very natural.

"These are called Hookswords," Amaria explained "From the way you were trained I believed they would suit you well."

Erza nodded, the mark of your weapon was that it is an extension of oneself as easy to use as throwing a ball or walking.

"Well, Red better get back into the fight…Before your boyfriend steals all the glory." Amaria suggested.

Erza colored slightly and forced the memory of their promise into the back of her mind, according to Natsu these weapons were about as perverted as they come, well being alive for more than five millennia might dull a person's patience to beat around the bush and be subtle, it didn't make it any better. She shook her head and flipped the weapon's around once more before running forwards.

A/N: I am going to fall asleep, I am on the next level of tired right now but I think I did a pretty good job, this is going to be a two part chapter so I will finish it off next week, Sorry I am too tired to put in the lemon I promised but your finna haveta deal.
