Chapter 10
The five people left in the air were all staring each other down. More precisely, it was Erza, Kagura and Cheria watching the two others who haven't even moved yet. Nazo, who's cloak now looked like a cape as her blue tank top and black jeans with boots and gloves, was sending death glares at Erza. You couldn't tell what the red female knight was thinking.
"You. You're the girl from the other night." said Erza.
"That's true." Nazo answered back.
"Then I shall keep my word and show you my strength!" Erza shouted as she flew at Nazo. Right when Erza was at point blank range, Nazo attacked.
"WATER DRAGON: ROAR!" Nazo shouted. A spiral of water was sent flying at Erza, which caught her off guard and sent her flying backwards, but she quickly rebounded.
"Oh my gosh! It appears that Nazo's magic appears to be water dragon slayer!" Chapati called out.
"That means she may be the perfect opponent for Natsu." said Mira.
"Wow! Another dragon slayer! I want to try her out!" Cheria chirped as she also went flying at Nazo.
Nazo then also began to fly towards Cheria with an actual smile on her face. The two prepared to launch their own strong punches at the other. Air surrounded Cheria's fist while water surrounded Nazo's hand. When they collided, water and air was sent flying in all directions. It resembled rain.
"Ow, ow, ow!" whined Cheria as she shaked out her hand. It appeared that Cheria took most of the damage of the attack. While she was distracted, Nazo did a round house kick that landed right on Cheria's face and managed to knock her out cold.
Lamia Scale points: 7
"Oh no! Cheria was knocked out! Now it's only the knight, Nazo, Kagura, and Erz-" Chapati began, but then he noticed the change that happened when no one was watching. Even Nazo didn't notice till now. It appeared that the only one left was the female knight and Nazo.
"What happened to Erza and Kagura?" said Mira. After scanning the arena, people finally saw the two women on the ground covered in bruises and cuts, both their faces scrunched up in pain.
"It appears that they were both taken out." said Yajima.
"Well, since we don't know who was beaten first, both teams will receive the same number of points." said Chapati.
Fairy Tail points: 8
Mermaid Heel points: 8
"Now it's between Saber tooth and Saitan's Light." said Mira. The two people now hovered only meter away from each other.
"You know, I wanted the pleasure of taking down Titania." Nazo said. She waited, but no response from the female knight.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Nazo taunted.
"...Hardly." the knight finally spoke.
"So you can talk. Well? Aren't you gonna remove the mask?" said Nazo.
"Very well." the knight answered. When she removed her mask, her appearance was different than any one expected. She had pale white skin, black eyes and her hair was a pale cream color.
"She seems perfectly normal, so why hide her face?" Nazo thought.
"My name is Zorra." she said.
"Good to know." said Nazo.
"I know who you truly are." Zorra said out of the blue. Nazo's eyes widen when she heard that. Saber tooth was now also surprised.
"Wh-what are you talking about?" asked Nazo, her filled with panic. All Zorra did was snicker.
"Answer me!" Nazo yelled.
Before she knew it, she felt something hot her in the gut, hard. It took Nazo a second to process what happened. Nazo let out a pained cry. Zorra had moved at incredible speed and needed Nazo in the gut. Once Zorra pulled away from Nazo, Nazo folded over as she wrapped her arms around her stomach. Blood began to drip out of her mouth.
"How did you d-do that?" Nazo choked out, still out of breath. Zorra didn't answer. Zorra then raised a hand in the air with her index finger pointed towards the sky. Nazo was now curious about what she was doing.
"SAITAN'S LIGHTENING!" Zorra chanted.
Suddenly, multiple lightening bolts came down from the sky, all targeting Nazo. Nazo would've tried to move, but she was hurting from the hit from Zorra earlier. All the lightening struck Nazo at the same time. It created bright light and loud thunder noises, but they were mostly drowned out by Nazo's blood curdling screams. She could feel her skin either be scorched from the heat, or being peeled off.
"Nazo!" Sting and Mizu yelled.
When the lightening stopped, they saw Zorra smiling with confidence, and in front of her, there was an unconscious girl that was covered in burns, cuts, gashes, and most of her clothes were burnt off who began to fall to the ground now that the battle was over.
Saber Tooth points: 9
Saitan's Light points: 10
"A-and the winner is Zorra of Saitan's Light guild." Chapati said nervously. By then, Nazo had landed on the ground like a rag doll while Zorra landed squarely on her feet.
"Nazo!" Mizu shouted she ram over to her unconscious friend with Sting on her heels. They both landed on their knees, each on the other side of Nazo. Sting carefully lifted up Nazo's head.
"Nazo, are you alright!? Wake up!" Mizu said frantically. After waiting few moments, Nazo finally began hacking and coughing, mostly blood.
"You're awake!" said Sting. Nazo's eyes began to flutter open until she could see her two friends around her.
"M-Mizu, Sting." Nazo said hoarsely.
"Don't talk. Save your strength." said Mizu. But, it appeared that Nazo wouldn't listen, she actually began to get up.
"Nazo, you shouldn't be standing!" Mizu said as she shot up to her feet along with Sting. Nazo acted like she didn't hear Mizu. Nazo was back on her feet, but she was practically shaking and staggering. she wasn't even facing her two worried friends.
"Nazo, please-" Sting began.
"No!" Nazo shouted. That yell was loud enough to get everyone's attention, even Zorra's, who was still in her same position.
"Th-the last time something like this happened to me, it pretty much ruined my life and changed everything for me. But, not this time. This time, I'm gonna show people that I'm not weak just because I was beaten." said Nazo.
The only people who knew what Nazo was talking about was the people of Saber Tooth, since they knew that Nazo was actually Lucy. She was referring to the last Grand magic games where she was beaten by Flare and was beaten to a pulp by Minerva. And not to mention her leaving Fairy Tail. Before talking again, Nazo looked over shoulder to see her friends.
"I swear. I won't ever lose again." said Nazo. With all that said, she collapsed on the ground yet again. Her two friends quickly went to her side. Sting picked up the unconscious brunnete and carried her to the infirmary with Mizu following.
