Hey Guys!

Big announcement! I'm putting this FanFiction on hold for a little while for various reasons. No guesses to when It'll return, but hold on and I'll eventually update it...

Sorry this was a little late, I've been sick (it's winter in Australia; cold and flu season ;_;). I've been lying on the couch watching Disney movies and anime. It was actually pretty fun.

I'm really worried about the pacing of my story- does it seem too slow, too fast?

Please tell me...

Anyway, I get up early, watch anime for about an hour, then work on my FanFictions (for the holidays, anyway).

I'm sorry, but I have nothing else to say, so I'll get right to the fight!

I do not own Fairy Tail.

When the members of Fairy Tail heard that the new member was challenging Erza, it was quite a shock. Did she have a death wish? And yet, they couldn't resist watching the battle. Maybe she was actually a very powerful mage and would stand 2 minutes against Erza. The Master, for some reason, didn't seem too angry about the fight, and, when approached, explained that "it's a good way for her to prove herself" and said no more. Before the battle, Lucy rushed up to Leia, "Are you seriously going to fight Erza?"

Leia grinned, "I plan to defeat her, mind you."

Lucy took a few steps back, shocked, "Ok... Just be warned that the infirmary is a very boring place."

"How would you know?"

"Let's just say I've had my fair share of accidents..."

"I'll take your word for it."

"So I guess I won't be able to show you houses tomorrow, then."

"What do you mean?"

"Unless you want me to wheel you around in a wheelchair."

Lucy then disappeared back in the crowd, and Leia started to doubt herself. Was Erza really that strong? Then, she shook off her doubts. She was allowed to bring in her backpack, after all... Getting focused, the mage walked into the huge circle the onlookers had created, and dumped her backpack near the side, ready for emergency use. She got into a good stance, and waited. Then, Titania herself wandered into the circle, "Are you sure you want to fight me? You can still forfeit."

"I would never back away from a fight if doing so would not benefit me."

"Running away from this one would mean you will not be badly injured. I do not intend to hold back."

"Neither do I."

The spectators watched on, curious that, not only is she still willing to fight, but also, seemingly, intending to win. Maybe, she could last against Erza for a longer time then what they first thought.

The referee, who was Mirajane, shouted, "Ready... And, fight!"

Leia immediately ran with unbelievable speed up to Erza, and performed various simple attacks, without magic. Erza reflected them, but not too well, surprised at her offensive nature. She then requiped into her Heaven's Wheel armour, attacking her with ten swords, and, to the disbelief of the viewer, avoided all of them. This unknown girl was standing her ground against Erza without even using magic! Erza flew up into the air and shot more swords at her, so many this time that, even though she was swift, one grazed her shoulder. Leia knew, as she was avoiding the red-heads attacks and attempting to do ones herself, that she would have to start using magic. So, she screamed something out, which shocked everyone around her, including Erza, and a purple magic circle appeared, and she attacked Erza with purple plasma. There was no doubt about it now. Leia was a dragon slayer.

The attack, named "Violet Dragon's Roar", hit Erza square in the chest, and she landed on the ground, skidding against the stone floor. The spectators muttered to each other. She was a dragon slayer! They now had 4 in their guild. The other dragon slayers were the most shocked. Natsu, who was next to Lucy, told her, "I knew there was something funny about her when I first smelled her..."
They had no more time to talk, as Leia continued to barrage Erza with various attacks, which she all dodged. Erza countered, changing into her Fire Empress Armour, using her fiery sword. Leia dodged this, as well, and jumped back, then attacked long-range. The red-headed mage dodged again. Erza requiped into her Black Wing armour and sword, and attacked with force, and Leia had the back of her shirt torn, revealing to Erza a long scar running from her left shoulder to her right hip. Only one close to her could notice, as it was white and silvery, blending in with he skin. She must have had it for a while.

They seemed pretty evenly matched, much to everyone's surprise. But, Leia seemed to be just not as agile, or powerful, or durable. After a while, it seemed pretty obvious who was stronger. It had come to the point when their actions were sloppier, their reflexes slower. Even though Leia was being beat, the crowd didn't believe what they were seeing. Someone almost as strong as Erza! It just seemed so... ...odd, especially since that particular someone was a dragon slayer. Where had she come from, all of a sudden? Dragon slayers don't grow on trees.

Leia attacked using a Violet Dragon Fist, which missed and hit the dirt below, creating a storm of dirt, clouding her actions. What was she going to do? Then, barely seeing her figure among the dust, the spectators watched Leia jump back to her backpack and start to rummage through it. As the dust cloud disappeared, she was just zipping it up, and unknown light purple object in her hand. Erza spotted her and sent various swords after the dark-haired mage, which she barely dodged. Then, as she was dodging, Leia proceeded to consume it, then attacked her opponent. It seemed she had a renewed force, and attacked as if she had only just started fighting. Erza couldn't keep up, and was hit many times.

Natsu smiled. Of course! She was a dragon slayer, she had to eat her respective element. She was clever enough to carry it in her backpack. If she had a big supply of it, maybe she could beat Erza! Leia was now slowing down, and leaped back before Erza could counter-attack. This unknown girl from some little village could actually beat an S-Class wizard...

Sorry for the short chapter and anti-climatic ending. As I said, I'm sick, and would prefer reading FanFictions instead of writing them.

Hints for next FanFiction? Nope.
