This is the fifth chapter I have over one hundred views so I am posting two chapters this week! :) Enjoy!
Once they got back to the guild, both Natsu and Sonja could sense something was different in Magnolia. While it was a beautiful day it was far too quite, they figured out why once they reached the guild hall. It was in chaos, Sonja felt her power surge, a battle had happen not too long ago. All five mages rushed into the building. Wendy was healing Elfman while Mira was looking after him. Gildarts was pacing back and forth looking lost in thought.
"What happened?" Erza asked.
"A dark guild attacked us," Gildarts said, still extremely angry.
"I can help, I know some healing magic," Sonja quickly said. Seeing her comrades in pain made her sick to her stomach. Right now she wanted nothing more than to rip off the heads of everyone that hurt her friends, she would make sure that this dark guild would pay.
Erza did not stop Sonja as she went to help more of the injured. She didn't care about the goddess' secret right now, if Sonja was willing to help than she would allow it.
"What do we know about them?" Erza said ready to plan for a counter attack.
"Nothing really, they did not say who they were from. They used magic so we are assuming they are from a dark guild, but in all honesty I don't know," Gildarts said looking rather defeated.
Sonja healed Cana, Bixlow and Freed before she went to Gildarts and ask what happened. "Who hurt them?" she demanded.
"I don't know," Gildarts said, Sonja could see the hurt in his eyes. She knew he regretted not being able to protect Cana and the others.
"I will find them," Sonja said while walking away.
"Natsu I need your help," Sonja said when he was close enough.
"With what," he responded.
"I need that nose of yours to sniff these assholes out," she said through clenched teeth. Natsu shook his head and smiled, "Gajeel, come on we are going hunting!" Natsu shouted at his fellow dragon slayer.
The iron dragon slayer looked up and smiled, he enjoyed this part of war.
When the three of them were out of the guild hall and out of ear shot Sonja told Gajeel what she was in few words.
"Why do I care what you are?" Gajeel said.
"I wanted to let you know so I won't have to hide my magic, I have no interest in letting them get the chance to attack the guild again," Sonja told him. A hard grunt was all she received as a response.
"You got a plan Princess?" Gajeel asked, using her title as more of an insultment than trying to address her with respect.
Her anger flamed, she hated to be called a princess. Princesses were weak and needed saving from the monsters like her. "Yeah, we are going to find their place of residence and go back and put together a small team to take out everyone."
"Why don't we just take them?" Gajeel asked.
"I figured some mages other might want to help," Sonja told him.
"Fine, but they hurt Levy, I get to be a part of the next part," Gajeel declared.
"Ugh, fine," Sonja said.
About five miles away from Mongolia was a castle that had six mages and seven demons. Once Sonja, Natsu, and Gajeel confirmed that these were the people that attacked the guild they headed back.
"Shit, this is not good," Sonja said as soon as they were far enough away.
"What Princess a little guild like that scare you?" Gajeel said.
Now Sonja was pissed, she punched Gajeel hard in his rib cage, she heard them crack. She imminently felt bad for hitting him that hard but he needed to respect the fact that she was strong.
"What the fuck was that for?" Gajeel asked through clenched teeth trying to hide his pain.
"For you seriously thinking that I am weak," she said as if it should have been obvious. "As for what I don't like, those demons are the physical representation of the Seven Deadly Sins."
"The what?" Natsu said, completely clueless.
"They are supposed to be the worst representations of human nature. There is Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Pride and Gluttony," Sonja explained.
"Are they under your command," Natsu asked.
"Hell no, they are all on their own. Last I heard they got locked up by my dad though. I can't believe someone idiot let them out into the world," Sonja said.
"How can they be that bad?" Gajeel said with all of his confidence.
"They brought down empires, they invoke the sins they represent. They can't create that feeling though, but if it is already there they expand it and bring it to the surface," Sonja explained their powers.
"Oh," both Gajeel and Natsu said.
A half an hour later, the three mages came into the guild hall…
"Gildarts we have a problem," Sonja said while walking up to him.
"Oh God, what is it?" Gildarts said not thinking his day could get worse.
"We are dealing with demons, well, sins," Sonja said.
"What?" Gildarts said getting angry with her vague explanation.
"We are dealing with the Seven Deadly Sins. They are brothers and sisters that love nothing better than to create chaos," Sonja explained, "Can we talk in private?"
"Yes," Gildarts said while shaking his head. The two headed towards the Master's office.
Once there Sonja closed the door, "I want to take a team with me to fight them, there are six mages besides the Sins," she told Gildarts.
"I am going to have to trust you on this; I have never dealt with this type of thing. Who do you want to bring with you?" Gildarts asked. He realized that Sonja was his best bet on taking revenge for them hurting his family.
"With me I want to take Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Jet and Wendy. The rest should take care of the mages. These Sins would not partner up with mages that were weak," Sonja said.
Gildarts shook his head yes in agreement, "Looks like we attack at dawn," Sonja said as she left.
She knew the team she assembled would be her best bet in winning. She would fight Wrath; he was the strongest and most unpredictable. Lucy would fight Greed; Lucy was the sweetest and most giving person Sonja had met. Lucy had very little greed within her so she would do best against him. Jet would fight against Sloth, Jet used High Speed Magic, and so he would fight best against the slow moving Sin that did not do much of anything. Natsu would fight against Envy, Natsu was extremely proud and continent and did not desire anything expect to be stronger and reunite with Igneel. Envy could not invoke him to desire something that he doesn't originally have. Gray would fight Lust. Gray did not seem to want any attention from a significant other, he mostly ignored the advances of Juvia, as long as Gray fought Lust alone the sin could not try and make him do anything to anyone, so Sonja was confident in that small security blanket. Wendy would fight Gluttony. Gluttony wanted to eat and live in extravagance like king, while Wendy was kind and wanted to just be loved by the people she loved. Sonja was confident in the small dragon slayer. Erza would fight Pride. While the scarlet wizard was proud she never looked down on anyone, she was only as strong as she needed to be which would help while fighting Pride.
