AN: Hey guys sorry for the late update, what with depression and all. But that's enough about me; second chapter's here now so I hope you enjoy.
Erza's POV
Well, looks like this it. Here I was, in line with the other prisoners waiting to be executed. To be honest I thought I would go out fighting, not on my knees. But at least I'll be with the people I care about. Well most of them at least. Natsu still hasn't been heard of since they started to take over. Why do I care? Well I guess it's because I like him. And no not just in a friend way, more like I want to spend the rest of my life with him and start a family. Looks like that'll never happen now.
We were led into the courtyard where the executions were being held. And I was first in line. I was on my knees waiting for the axe to go down but instead it didn't come. I looked up to see that everyone was looking up; some in disbelief, some in anger and frustration. I looked to where they were gazing. It was something flying, destroying the airships surrounding the fortress with fiery explosions. I couldn't see who it was, due to them flying between the clouds so fast. Probably to escape the gunfire. I felt something pull at my magic-restricting cuffs I turned around to see Lily use a key to unlock them. I looked at the other prisoners and saw Romeo, Erik, Lyon and Chelia helping free everyone else with keys that looked like they were made of ice.
I looked back up to the sky to see the fight between the air ships and the fiery monster. I saw a tint of pink in the midst of the scarlet blur. That's when I realized who it was. The only person I knew with pink hair and could cause so much damage with fire. I saw him float down and, well, he was different to say the least. His salmon pink hair had gotten longer as well as him having scarlet scales on the sides of his face. He just didn't look human anymore, what with those wings, scales and that tail; I was just confused as to who was in front of me.
The dragon slayer looked around, observing his enemies for a good few minutes, until he decided to speak;
"Oi, Acnologia! How dare you kidnap the ones I love," he bellowed, which made my heart flutter.
"Why if it isn't E.N.D.? So you have finally decided to stop hiding like a coward, eh?" the dragon king laughed.
"More like kick your sorry ass and save my family, but yeah I stopped hiding."
"I personally wanted to save you for last, but I might as well get this over and done with!" the two dragons charged at each other, going so fast all we could see were black and red blurs. The dragons continued fighting at inhuman speed whilst the last of the prisoners were getting freed around me. There was a sudden crash in the middle of the courtyard, where the dragons stood, looking unscathed.
"Oi, is everyone freed yet?" Natsu yelled to his companions.
"That's all of them," Erik answered.
"Good. Let's get this party started, eh? He laughed, but it wasn't his usual, infectious laugh. It sounded…evil.
