Wendy and Romeo stood back to back, both glowing with Wendy's enchantments. "We're getting no where. They keep coming even though we keep taking them down," Romeo frowned.
"I'll take care of most of them. Just don't get caught in my attack," Wendy warned.
Romeo made sure he was very close to Wendy so he didn't get caught in it. "Secret Dragon Slaying Art," Wendy paused as there was a large wind barrier forming.
Romeo remembered the move and Wendy continued, "Shattering Light: Sky Drill!"
Gusts of wind attacked the knights and when the spell ended, most of the knights were down. Romeo gave a small smile and began to attack the remaining knights. "Knights, get need to protect his Majesty!" Someone yelled.
"Romeo, I need you to go ahead and warn Natsu-san and the others," Wendy informed Romeo.
Romeo was about to counter, but Wendy began first, "I know you don't want to leave me, but I'm strong enough to take them. You need to leave and get going. I can hold them off while your gone. There's fresh air around here anyways," Wendy sternly looked at Romeo.
Romeo looked Wendy and the eye and nodded. "Be careful, Wendy," With that, Romeo made a run through the doorway the others went through earlier.
Romeo stopped, seeing a body and a sword handle left. The sword looked like it had been eaten and the body was burnt and seemed to be poisoned. "It looks like Gajeel, Cobra, and Natsu-nii's been here," Romeo assumed.
Though, what he didn't notice was a man creeping up behind him.
The others went right into a large group of knights and there seemed to be an unlimited amount of them. "We'll have to clear path to get through," Laxus said, landing another attack.
"It'll be no use. We'll have to get Salamander out of here," Gajeel said, taking on another group of knights.
"I'm on it! Loke! Taurus!" Lucy held out the two keys, making both appear.
After they greeted her, they began to clear a path to allow Natsu through. Natsu made run, muttering a quick thanks before continuing.
The large group kept the knights at bay, making sure that not a single one could land an attack. They used little to no magic to preserve their energy from tiring. "They keep flooding in! What are we going to do?" Levy called to the others.
"We could have one of us cast a large spell and then restore magic power in the center of our circle," Jellal suggested.
"Lucy will do it," Erza said.
"Wait! My biggest spell can only take out one person!" Lucy protested.
"I'll go all out for as long as I can," Gajeel volunteered.
"Why should it be you? Me and Rogue can use Unison Raid to get rid of them," Sting argued, taking out another knight.
"It's because Salamander didn't leave any of us in charge and my magic is closest to Salamander's," Gajeel told him.
"This won't be going anywhere," Levy sighed and then turned to Lucy and said, "Just order one of them to go Lu-chan."
"I guess," Lucy sighed and ordered, "Gajeel, just go. Get rid of as many as you can."
Gajeel smirked and melted into the floor as a shadow. "Who put Blondie in charge?" Sting asked.
"She's Natsu's teammate which makes her closest to Natsu," Levy countered.
No one dared to argue with that statement after that.
Wendy finished off the knights, knowing that they had quit coming after her. She was quite exhausted, but not enough to make her stumble every step. She walked until she saw a body up ahead. She saw the man was already dead, but next to the body was a portal of some type.
Natsu ran down the halls, dodging spears being thrown at him. One in a while, he would throw a large fireball at them to either slow them down or to take many of them down. Natsu ran and ran until he ran through a large pair of double doors and he stopped after hearing the creaking of the doors closing. He turned, seeing the doors pound shut, stopping the knights from coming any farther. "Well, it seems you came," Natsu turned to the sound of the voice, but couldn't find its owner.
"Don't worry, this will be a fair battle. I've ordered the knights on the other side of the door to stand guard and keep all of them out. Now, why don't you prepare yourself," The voice told Natsu.
A vision of a boy with black hair as he was chained to a wall and looking beaten up, had appeared in front of Natsu. Natsu gasped in surprise, veins popped out of his head as anger overtook his expression. "What did you do to Romeo? Do you have Wendy also?" Natsu yelled.
"I only beat the boy until he was unconscious. Though, there's another one? I didn't see a girl," The voice gave some thought.
"Return Romeo!" Natsu demanded, magic power seeped from him.
The voice laughed and replied with, "You'll never get him back."
Natsu jumped and used a fire boost to allow him to get through the roof. He broke through and saw a surprised man sitting on a throne. Romeo was behind him, chained. "You'll regret what you did," Natsu growled.
The man's expression turned from surprise and now wore a smirk. "We'll see about that, Natsu 'Salamander' Dragneel, Master of Rising Phoenix," The man told him as he stood, throwing off his cloak.
