Gajeel had taken down about half of the enemies forces and now sat in the middle of their circle, regaining the magic power that he lost by eating swords that the group collected from the knights.
Yukino and Lucy were using Loke, Taurus, Libra, and Pisces to take the knights out.
Laxus and Erik used attacks that could take out multiple attacks including roars and sometimes combining some attacks.
Rogue and Sting teamed as usual as they too, did what Laxus and Erik did.
Levy the liberty to provide defense.
Jellal used his different spells to attack the knights.
Erza and Tyson teamed up and their swords swung through the air as they went through one knight after another.
The battle was easy, yet hard as the number of knights continued to grow. Though, the small group of mages kept themselves together, hoping that the battle would end soon.
Natsu stood, waiting for a sign of an attack. The man had short dark blue hair and wore a very expensive suit. Though, Natsu didn't care if he damaged the suit or not, all he wanted was Romeo to be freed from being bound to the wall. "I have a question for you Natsu Dragneel," The man inquired.
Natsu kept himself from being to distracted by the question. "How did you manage to stay alive for so many years? Was it your dragon slayer magic that kept you alive? Perhaps a spell you or someone else cast? Tell me," The assassin smirked.
"Why would you like to know?" Natsu snarled.
"I'm interested, that's all. Now that I think of it, you could be a fake Natsu Dragneel. Just following what he would do," The assassin shrugged at another suggestion of his.
"If I were a fake, I wouldn't be so pissed off about Romeo chained to the wall! If you ant to know, then I'll tell you. It was Igneel, Grandine, and Metalicana who made me and the others immortal!" Natsu gritted his teeth, sparks began to come off of Natsu's fists.
"Hit a nerve, did I?" The assassin smirked.
"I think it would be proper to introduce myself. I'm Kyle Jupiter," The assassin identified himself.
Natsu gave a tug at his scarf, waiting for him to deliver the first attack.
Wendy went through the portal, finding herself in one long hallway that had doors. "Welcome, do you have a destination in mind today?" A robotic female voice asked.
Wendy looked at the doors, seeing that each one was marked with a place. She saw Crocus, Hargeon, Era, and even Sun Village. "Do you have a destination in the castle perhaps?" The robot voice asked.
"Is there a chance to see Lucy?" Wendy felt strange not putting the honorific at the end of Lucy's name.
A lacrima screen appeared, showing Lucy and the others fighting a large group of knights, but there was no sight of Natsu or Romeo. "Could you show me Natsu?" Again, Wendy felt weird not putting the honorific at the end of his name.
The lacrima vision switched to Natsu and the assassin fighting eachother and from behind was Romeo, chained to the wall. "Can I have the door that takes me to Romeo," Wendy said quickly.
"Certainly," A door began to materialize in front of Wendy as the lacrima vision disappeared.
Natsu dodged the assassin's attacks and tried to make a run for Romeo, but was stopped and pushed back by Kyle. "What's the matter Dragneel? I thought you were stronger than this," Kyle continued to attack, pushing Natsu back further and then Natsu's back greeted the wall and Kyle smirked.
"This'll be the end for you, Salamander," Kyle raised a knife, as the other hand pulled Natsu's scarf off and the knife went right for the neck.
