Hi again :) here is chapter eight, enjoy!
Sonja needed to know how Erza was doing but she did not want to startle to fiery red head during her battle. None of the mages were used to her telepathic communication so she could startle them and possibly hurt them. She could sense that all of the mages were alive, but Gray was fuzzy like his head was not fully in the battle. She was feeding off of the adrenaline of their battles, letting their ferocity power her magic. When there was a battle going on Sonja was practically unstoppable.
Sonja brought out her two blades. She had a black blade, which she named Jackal , and a red one, that she named Reaper. She needed to just spare a few moments to go check on Gray. Wrath smiled when he seen her blades. If one cut into his vital spots and those would send him back to the underworld immediately.
"Those are some nice blades, I didn't think you would carry something around that would remind you that you aren't human," he said.
Sonja quickly glanced at her blades. Both of them she had made during her brief trips home. She forged them in the fiery pits of the underworld. Every time she used them they made her home sick, she liked her home, but he was correct, she hated the fact that she was not human that underneath her carefully constructed human figure she was a demon like him. She shook her head to clear those thoughts she could not fight him while thinking of a pointless thoughts. She could not change who she was, she could only fight for what she felt was right.
Wrath was trying to distract her, no matter what happened in the past he still loved her. He respected that she would always fight for what she believed in. He wanted to make her mad enough to just send him back without hurting her, but if he held back she would know and be angry with him. He just wanted to complete his task and be done.
"Why did you attack Fairy Tail, Wrath?" she asked never taking her eyes off of him.
"Because I was ordered too," he said back.
She shook her head irritated with these games, "By who?" she said with a sigh.
"Trust me, Princess, you will find out in due time," he said as he lunged at her.
She was anticipating his attack and thrust her sword up ward towards the center of his chest, he grabbed the blade of the sword and used it to spin around and kick her in the face. She quickly recovered and thrust three quick punches into the center of his chest. She heard some of his ribs crack, he coughed up some blood. She then used her magic to elevate the pain of his ribs, he screamed out in pain. She smashed him through a wall and quickly ran out of room to find Gray. She had only spared herself a few seconds but she hoped the spell would elevate his pain long enough to delay him so she could help Gray.
Elsewhere….
Erza had used her Heaven's Wheel Armor and threw her sword at Pride's head. The smiling demon avoided the strike. Erza hasn't been able to hit her once. Erza finally understood why her name was Pride she was arrogant and cocky she had way to much pride in her skills. Erza had to think, but she could not take her eyes off of her. She needed to use that cockiness against her, but she did not underestimate Pride enough to think that she would allow Erza to win so easily.
"Are you even trying?" Erza asked Pride.
"No? Why does it look like I am?" Pride said.
"Ugh you aren't even worth my time." Erza said. She requipped into her regular Heart Kreuz Armor, and started to walk away. Erza was taking a chance, she hoped that Pride would retaliate if someone insult her and damaged her pride. Erza had guessed right when the red head threw something at her. Erza's quick reflexes allowed her to dodge to sword and to spin around to stop the attack on her.
"Wow, and I thought that you were actually a threat to Fairy Tail. I will let Sonja know that you are no threat," Erza said as she walked away.
Pride was extremely pissed, no one had ever insulted her. Pride was perfect from her hair to her freshly painted toes nails. She started to doubt herself. As she thought about it her appearance began to change, her beautifully tanned skin started to turn blood red. Tribal designs that were orange and yellow danced along her body. Her beautiful white dress had turned into black leather that barely covered her body.
Erza glanced back at the surging magic she now felt. Pride's appearance changed. Her skin was red that had tribal designs that flowed through out her body, the yellow and orange looked like flames. Erza was starting to regret to choice to piss Pride off. This magical energy easily over powered Erza's.
Sonja I need help! Erza practically screamed telepathically.
I am going to send someone to help you okay? Sonja thought back to her His name is Lucian, he will protect you! Sonja started to concentrate she summoned Lucian. Lucian was an average height long black haired male. His pale skin was coved by a white button up shirt that was rolled up to his elbows. He wore black dress pants and dress shoes.
"Yes, ma'am?" Lucian said.
"Erza Scarlet needs help, she is fighting Pride. I think she insulted her, I can feel Pride's magic energy." Sonja explained to him.
"Where is she?" Lucian asked.
Sonja grabbed his arm and transferred her location to him. With a nod Lucian started to lightly run towards Erza's location.
"Please, protect her. She is my friend. I don't want anyone in Fairy Tail hurt, also Velkan is out find him once you have taken care of Pride," Sonja said to him. Lucian gave a little nod and ran off.
I don't want you hurt either Lucian. She felt a smile came over his face, Yes ma'am.
Sonja continued to rush towards Gray, she trusted that Lucian could take care of Pride.
Velkan, I brought Lucian here. He is going towards Erza, after you take care of Sloth meet up with him and Erza and wait for my orders, Sonja told him.
She hadn't heard from Natsu, she was starting to get worried. But she would allow him to fight Envy on his own. He was a lot like his father, his pride would seriously be broken if she rushed there to aid him and he did not need it.
Sonja finally found Gray, the room was extremely dark and she couldn't find him. When she finally found him he was standing there with a hard on. Sonja was worried, she approached Gray cautiously. She did not want him to attack her.
Gray looked over with a sinister smile of his face, Sonja was extremely worried. If he moved toward her at all she would have to knock him out.
Elsewhere…
Lucian reached Erza just before Pride had started to hit her. Erza requipped to her Adamantine Armor. When Pride hit her the Armor just barely soften the blows. She closed the shields in front of her, these shields blocked the blows that were quickly coming from the now demonic Pride.
Lucian looked at the situation, he figured it would be easiest to turn back into his demonic form to fight Pride. Lucian focused and started to draw out his demon. His demonic form had black hair that went down to his waist with it ties just at the end so it could not flow freely. He had armor on that covered his chest and his legs the rest was covered by an iron mesh. He had a red cape that flowed to the ground. His face was basically unchanged with the exception of his teeth, which poked out from underneath his lips. His skin was now a caramel tan and long talon like claws came out from his finger nails. His eyes were glowing blood red as he rushed toward the demon in front of it.
Erza was scared of the new comer, she noticed that his power level was higher than Pride's, Erza had noticed that the longer Pride was demonic the more of her energy she used. Pride had smashed two of her other armors. She did not know how much she could stand from the terrifying figure that was next to her.
Lucian tackled Pride off of Erza. The red head looked shocked at his arrival. He would properly introduce himself after Pride was sent back. Lucian had formed steel around his fist as he punched Pride.
Erza was exhausted, but she would not let the new comer think she was weak. She pushed herself up and requiped into her Purgatory Armor. And went to aid him.
Lucian was shocked by Erza, he could tell how tired she was but she continued on. Together they delivered blow after blow into the fading demon. Erza called one of her swords and thrust it into the center of the demon's chest. Pride let off a blood curdling scream and then broke into thousands of particles.
Erza turned to her companion, and raised her sword. Lucian put his hands up and changed back into his human form. "Sorry, I did not mean to startle you," Lucian said with a bow, "I am Lucian. Sonja sent me to help you."
Erza breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, I am Erza Scarlet," she said as she requiped back into her regular armor.
"I have been given orders to meet up with Velkan and the others," he told her. She shook her head, together they ran towards Velkan.
