*thoughts* *Spells*

I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does, but I own my characters and my story!

"Soul Pulse: Search!" Maka's eyes closed as her magic spread out from her body, the blue light seeping into the stone and seeking out the remaining Fairy Tail wizards. They had been looking for fifteen minutes and hadn't found anything, so Maka had decided to use her magic to find them. Suddenly, her eyes popped open as she felt three souls, weak as if in slumber. "They're on the north end, furthest on the left," Maka said, ending the spell. Erza nodded, and ran off towards where her friends were located. Levy offered her a hand, which she took gratefully. "Thanks, that spell always takes a lot out of me, depending on how long I have to use it." Levy laughed as they ran towards Erza. "I understand. Can you still fight, if we need to?" "Yeah," Maka responded, "that shouldn't be a problem." "Good." They slowed down as they caught up to Erza, who was standing in the center of the hallway, frozen in shock. "Erza, what is it? Did you fin-" Levy yelped as Erza dragged them around a corner. "Quiet, you two! If we are discovered, we're done for!" Levy's eyes widened at the look of fear that was on Erza's face. "Erza, who-" Erza silenced her with a finger as an all-too-familiar voice rang out through the hallway. "I'll be back later for you Fairy Tail scum, but I must check up on a few things. I do hope we can have another chat later." Levy paled, a look of horror etched on her features. That voice brought back painful memories. She peeked around the corner, just in time to see a purple cloak vanish down the corridor. "Jose Porla." She said, terror in every syllable that passed her lips. "My god, the guild is doomed."

Erin lay atop the small outcropping of rocks, a pair of binoculars in hand. Peering through them, he watched as people paced along the top of a wall belonging to the large castle that was base of operations for the Nocturnal Alliance. Sighing, he slid back down the rocks to where the others were waiting. "Sneaking in is no good." He told them. "The place is absolutely swarming with guards, and they switch off on a one to one basis. It's literally impossible to sneak in, unless we had an invisibility spell." "So," Natsu said, a dark smile on his face, "that leaves option two." "We fight our way in." Laxus finished for him, pounding his fist into his palm. "Sounds like a plan to me." Gajeel snarled. "Let's get to it." They stood up, then looked over at the fifth member of their group. Soul stood, a menacing look on his face. "Follow me."

Erza panted as she dashed through the tower. We have to get out of here. She thought. Before that monster finds us. We HAVE to warn the guild. "Erza, what's wrong?" Maka asked, striding right next to her with an unconscious Evergreen on her back. "Why were you so terrified by that man?" Erza flinched. "That man," she explained with a barely repressed shudder, "once tried to destroy Fairy Tail for power. He wiped out our guild hall and almost killed me, Gray, and Elfman because we were in his way. He is evil, pure and simple." She noticed a door at the end of the corridor, and made to dash towards it. "That's quite an unflattering opinion you have of me, Titania Erza Scarlet." Erza froze as that vile voice reached her ears again. A sense of dread crept over her as she turned around. "Maka, take Levy, Evergreen and Cana and get out of here. I'll hold him off for as long as possible." "Understood." Maka said, gathering up the others and racing through the door. "Well, Titania, looks like it's just you and me." The shadow said, taking a step forward. "I guess I'll finish what I started."

"Everybody clear on the plan?" Laxus asked, turning towards the group. Nods and determined looks answered him. "Okay, let's go." They dashed off towards the wall, running as fast as they could to try and evade the blasts of magic that struck just inches behind them. Erin leaped into the air, gathering his magic energy into his hands. "Hurricane Volley!" He yelled, blowing a hole in the middle of the wall. "Oh, yeah, Fairy Tail, let's go!" Natsu yelled, leaping into the middle of a group of wizards, cutting them down with his katana. "Damn straight! Karma Demon: Iron Spiral!" Gajeel yelled, using his attack to slam through ten opponents with ease. The two dragon slayers went back to back as a huge number of dark guild members gathered around them. "You ready, trash can?" Natsu said, a feral grin on his face. "Let's do this, smoky." Gajeel responded. "Iron Dragon Scales!" Gajeel's body became covered as he rushed towards a large group of the dark guild, slamming through them with ease. "C'mon weaklings!" He shouted. "Don't know how to fight without your magic?" The enemies shrank back from Gajeel's wrath, as he was surrounded in a silver aura that grew with each passing second. "Bring it on!"

Erza panted as she drew back. "You're stronger then the last time we fought, Titania." Jose remarked, no evidence of strain in his voice. "But it won't help you. I have specific plans for you, my dear, and none of them involve beating me. Dead Wave!" A shroud of black energy raced towards her, barely missing her as she flipped out of the way. She screamed as a hand caught her wrist. "Now, let's see how your guild reacts to this. Dead Art: Soul Possession!" Erza screamed as a foreign presence entered her mind, controlling her movements as she fell to her knees. "Now," Jose said, a devilish grin on his face, "your guild will fall by your hands, Titania. How does that make you feel?"

"Damn, there's no end to these guys!" Laxus yelled, throwing a punch into the jaw of an attacking Alliance member. "Raging Bolt!" He exclaimed, loosing the attack and frying several enemies. "I hear ya." Soul said, panting as he requipped. "Demon Flame Armor!" He rushed towards a group of wizards, his body covered in dark red steel. His head was mostly uncovered, with only his signature headband adorning his brow. He planted his feet, swinging a black and red sword in a deadly arc, cutting down the group. "Keep going! We have to keep fighting!" Erin yelled. "Tornado Blast!" A massive tornado took out twenty or so dark guild members. Erin whipped around, expecting an attack, but none came. Standing straight, he let out a sigh. "Everybody alright?" He asked, glancing towards the others. "Bruises, but we're alright." Gajeel said as Natsu nodded, catching his breath. "I'm fine." Soul said from over by the main building. "Same here." Laxus stated. Suddenly, Gajeel lurched forward with a cry of pain. "Hey, what…" Erin froze as his brain desperately tried to deny what his eyes saw. What his eyes saw was the love of his life crouched, weapon in hand after slicing through Gajeel's leg. "Erza, what are you doing?" he asked, stepping towards her, then swiftly ducking as she rushed him with a slash at neck height. "I'm sorry, Erin." She said, tears running down her face. "But I am not in control. He is." She continued to press the attack, forcing Erin back towards the gap in the wall. "He who?" Erin questioned. "Erza, what the fuck is going on? Why did you attack Gajeel?" A voice rang out over the compound, answering his question. "What's going on, boy, is that I have taken control over Titania's body. If you find me, you can break the spell and so win back Titania. But, you will have to get past Titania to get to me! Good luck, Fairy scum!" Erin's eyes widened at what he heard. Why?! Why is HE here? Steeling his resolve, he turned to the others. "Get going! I'll occupy Erza, just find and beat that bastard to a pulp before anything happens!" "No, Erin!" Natsu yelled, rushing towards the pair, but it was too late. "Hurricane's Inner Wall!" Natsu jerked back as a wall of wind separated the two from the others. Natsu slammed his fist into the ground. "Dammit, Erin, you know what will happen if anything happens to her by your hand! Why the fuck did you do it?" "Because I had to. You guys get going. Give Jose my regards." Natsu stood, his bangs hiding his eyes and darkening his face. "Don't you die, Erin. I don't want to deal with Erza if you do." A laugh resounded from the other side of the barrier. "Same to you, now get going." Erin turned to his fiancée. "I'm sorry, Erza." He said, regret in his voice. "Now, let's do this."

Yeah, yeah, I'm evil. This one took FOREVER to write. Please review, and I'll try to have the next chapter up either tomorrow or Tuesday. Storm Out!
