Chapter 9:

Normal POV

Everyone was excited today. It was the day that Ashkar was to fight the Fairy Tail wizards. Everyone was excited but no one was as excited as Ashkar. She was practically jumping out of her shoes. Everyone stared at her in shock. They thought she should be on the ground begging for mercy so that people would spare her. Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Laxus, Mira, Elfman, Lisanna, Freed, Bickslow, Evergreen, Juvia and Gajeel were just sitting off to the side smirking. This girl was going to be easy to take down. She was way too cocky for her own good. The Master came out and asked Levy to carve runes around the area so there wouldn't be too much destruction.

" It's not too late to back out guys!" Ashkar called with a wave. Everyone just stared at her. Who did this girl think she was telling her opponents that they could back out if they wanted to? And what was her magic. Only Makarov and Lucy knew what her magic was. Makarov wouldn't tell anybody and nobody asked Lucy. Everyone gathered on the field ready for the fight to begin.

" The fight will commence in TEN seconds." Everyone started counting down together. " 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" Then all of hell broke loose.

Lisanna, Elfman and Erza immediately charged at Ashkar. Both Lisanna and Elfman transformed into their Take - over Magic. Everyone thought that Ashkar would be surprised but she just summoned a double bladed sword and ducked their attacks. She popped up behind Lisanna and knocked her out. Wendy dragged Lisanna to the side so she could heal the girl. Elfman tried to jump on top of her but Ashkar uppercutted him in the jaw, therefore breaking it. He yelled in pain and decided to do the smart thing. He forfeited the match. Only Erza was left out of Ashkar's first attackers. Suddenly Gajeel and Juvia also came at Ashkar. Gajeel turned his fists into metal and sent them at Ashkar. Ashkar just touched her sword against the metal and he suddenly pulled his fists back as if something burned him. When his fists returned to normal you could see that there were in fact burns all over his fists and arms. Erza re-quipped into her Flame Empress armor along with her usual sword. She lunged at Ashkar but Ashkar just blocked with the hilt of the sword. Their fight started getting very heated. No one would be able to get within three feet of them without getting chopped into pieces. Soon all you could hear was the sound of metal upon metal and could only see streaks of black, scarlet, and silver. Neither of them were able to get a hit on each other. When the finally both of them stopped only Erza looked tired. Ashkar seemed every bit as hyper as she had when the fight began. Ashkar suddenly lunged forward and ran past Erza. It seemed as though Ashkar hadn't touched her but when she stopped running everyone turned to look at Erza. Erza's face was white and she looked at her stomach. There was a gash there that was dripping blood. She collapsed from blood loss and Makarov had Wendy come and heal her. Everyone stared at Ashkar in horror. She had a look of regret on her face. Everyone then turned to look at her sword that they expected to be drenched in blood. There wasn't a single speck of blood. Ashkar had moved so fast that the blood hadn't stained the blades. NOBODY ever had beaten Erza before. Who was this girl? Gajeel and Juvia ran at her and Ashkar jumped. As she landed she held her blade to Gajeel's chest and he stumbled back in pain. While he was distracted she pressed her blade to his cheeks and burned them even more. He stumbled back even more and out of the ring. He was officially out. Ashkar counted in her mind. 4 down 9 to go. Then instead of waiting for more people to come and attack her Ashkar rushed at Juvia. She swung her sword down and Juvia and waited to hear the woman scream in pain. There was no sound. When Ashkar looked up she saw that her blade was floating between Juvia's body.

" Juvia's body is made out of water. Your attacks won't hurt me. I will be a much tougher opponent for you."

" Actually you just made your defeat much more easier for me. Elemental Blades: Ice!"

Ashkar turned the blade around and soon Juvia was an ice statue. She wasn't covered in ice. She was ice! Well let's just say that shocked everybody. After Juvia's defeat there were only 8 people left: Laxus, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Mira, Bickslow, Freed and Evergreen. Evergreen, Freed and Bickslow all turned on their magic power with their eyes. They looked directly at Ashar but she was looking down as if she knew what they were about to do. She yelled,

" Elemental Blades: Air!" She started spinning the sword around and around in her hand. The sword soon became a blur of silver and she yelled,

" Gust!" Without looking Ashkar still somehow managed to direct the gusts of wind at the Thunder Legion. They all flew out of the arena and flew far far away.

"Ooops. I guess I went a little overboard." Ashkar said looking sheepish. People were just staring at her in horror, awe and fear. Mira transformed into her Satan Soul and Lucy summoned Gemini. Ashkar stepped forward and suddenly sensed a presence in front of her and behind her. They were both rushing towards her at the same time. She saw Mira in front of her and she wondered who was behind her until she heard the crackle of lightning. They were going to hit her if she didn't move soon and it would hurt her bad. She jumped at the last second and flipped through the air. Both mages eye's widened as they weren't able to move out of the way in time. Ashkar landed behind them and cringed.

" Ooooh! That must have hurt don't you think? I wonder if they are okay." She mused to herself. As for Mira and Laxus, let's just say that Wendy was running out of Magic Power fast. As Ashkar was turning to face her last three opponents, she heard Lucy chanting:

Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...

All the stars, far and wide...

Show me thy appearance...

With such shine.

Oh Tetrabiblos...

I am the ruler of the stars...

Aspect become complete...

Open thy malevolent gate...

Oh 88 Stars of the heaven...

Shine!

Urano Metria!

" Well that's not good!" Ashkar thought to herself. She looked up at the bright light. She couldn't dodge it. " I'll just take it head on!" Ashkar braced herself for the pain and didn't let her step falter. She held her ground. Was this spell going to be the end of her?
