-Let there be midnight

ME NO OWN FAIRY TAIL

One to Rise, Four to Fall

"I wish to see the fire that burns within you, the same fire that had caused you abandon our people! Show this all to me, Milord!"

Pandora sneered in his face as her chains coiled even harder around the fallen king, a few snaps being heard as ribs snapped under pressure and a few other bones unable to deal with the strain of her chains, but what she hated the most was that her fallen king muttered nothing, not a scream, not a whimper, or whisper, or breath of pain. He remained silent, head bowed and hair shadowing his eyes as he could no longer stare at his once faithful servant and best friend. She hated it, she loathed the silence, but she loved the idea that his eyes could no longer stare into her own, it was conflicting. She didn't know what to feel.

"Sorry," the voice was barely audible, Pandora doubted she heard through the battle the white haired girl and Luke were going through, but she heard it all right, it came from the bruised and bloodied lips from the one she hated with a passion.
"What?!" she snarled, eyes widened as her chains squeezed him even more, but he didn't wheeze when the air was knocked out of him, just staying there, his head bowed.

"I said," he looked up at her, but there was a difference in his eyes now. His eyes were no longer charcoal but a deep red with orange and yellow lying in their deeps, flickering just like fire as his pupils narrowed into slits just like a dragons. Fire started to flicker about him, nothing of the fire she knew he had been using in the years of being undercover, it was a fire she was accustomed to seeing when he was her king. It flickered about him, then died, but the strangest thing the fire had was that mixed in with the reds and orangs and yellows was a bright vibrant blue that gleamed.

He took a sharp breath, showing the elongated canines that were razor sharp, his dragon-like eyes lying on her. "Sorry," he repeated just as the whites of his eyes turned a pitch black. His right hand instantly tore free from her chains, breaking them into tiny pieces, gripping on the one that laid at his waist and below.

Where his wounds laid, fire crackled above the surface, healing the injuries that laid above and below the skin. "I now know that this is not the Nelly I knew that stands before me, and it will never be, so I'm sorry for what you're about to go through."

Before she could blink, the King was on her.

Elliot stared at Gray coolly, a coin materializing in the palm of his hand as he began to toss it up and down casually, catching it swiftly again. He looked to be in no hurry to start the battle and that was what Gray found unnerving. The guy was totally cocky and arrogant, but something about him was off, something Gray couldn't point out.

"Let's see," Elliot said, a ghost of a smile gracing his lips. "Who gets to come out: Kaoyoki or Nanaluli?" Gray raised an eyebrow at him, confused about what he said, but he didn't get even a chance to ask as Elliot suddenly held his hand out, the coin in his hand as he flipped it high in the air. He quickly snatched it as it came back down and slapped it on the back of his other hand, barely glancing down. Gray didn't see what it read, but the small smile on Elliot's lips couldn't be any good. "Ah, heads. It looks like Kaoyoki is first." he said with a small nod as his necklace began to glow. Gray barely had enough time to notice the figure that materialized before him, glowing. Sitting on the ground as the glowing light disappeared shortly after Elliot's own necklace started glowing was a girl around the same age as Gray, kneeling on the ground. On her head was a pair of large white ears and a large white tail swished behind her. She wore a weird arrangements of clothing, just a strip of white fuzzy fur held across her chest with fuzzy white shorts and boots that went to her knees along with gloves that reached her elbows. She had long flowing curly white hair that fell to her waist and bangs that framed her sharp oval head perfectly.

A celestial spirit? Gray thought to himself but instantly shook the thought away when the girl opened her eyes showing light blue eyes that resembled that of a fox.

"Kaoyoki-kun at your service." the fox-like girl said mechanically as she stood up to her full height, being an inch or so taller than Gray. Elliot grinned as he let the hand holding the coin drop to his side.

"Kaoyoki-kun I order you to torture him." Elliot said, Kaoyoki putting her right hand over her heart and bowing low.

"Kaoyoki-kun has heard your wish." she looked up once more, light blue eyes staring straight at Gray. "Kaoyoki-kun will obey." Gray didn't have time to register any of her movements because Kaoyoki suddenly disappeared from sight, Gray's first instinct to look behind him, but before he could he was kicked in the side of the head by Kaoyoki, the fox girl instantly following up with a punch to the cheek opposite to where she had kicked him. Gray didn't even have time to hit the ground before the fox girl had brought her leg high up in the air and swinging it down on his head harshly, forcing it onto the stone ground and crushing the stone where his head landed in tiny pieces.

Gray let out a strangled cry of pain when he felt his head connect with the stone floor, but like the other times, he didn't have time to react as he was suddenly grabbed by his hair just a moment later, Kaoyoki bringing him up with his feet dangling just off the ground. There was another brief moment where she just held him there by his hair before she swung around swiftly and smashed his head once more into the stone ground face first, breaking his nose instantly and causing blood to gush out.

Black dots danced at the edge of Gray's vision as Kaoyoki brought him up by the hair once more, though this time she just held them there with his toes barely brushing against the ground.

All this was done in less than ten seconds.

"Victim is barely breathing with heart rate decreasing. Do you wish for Kaoyoki-kun to continue administering the pain, or do you wish to call Nanaluli-chan to kill him?"

"Great idea Kaoyoki-kun, you may go now."

"Ya' know, for being the Titania, the Queen of the Fairies, you sure are weak." Jack said causally as she swung a metal scythe around her head, the butt of the scythe being connected with a chain that led to her arm and wound up it securely. At the top of the scythe where two sharp blades met on either side, a diamond shaped ruby gleamed in the candle light, a pair of eyes seemingly to peer down at the battle, unnoticed from within the ruby.

Erza panted, crouched with her head bowed as she clutched her stomach with one hand, blood seeping through the wound and dripping onto the floor. She was wearing the armor she did when she faced Jellal at the Tower of Heaven with her sword clenched tightly in her hand that supported her on the ground.

"I expected you to be stronger," Jack continued on with what she was saying, stopping the twirling of the scythe over head by gripping the handle and sweeping it down sharply to have it resting by her side, ready to strike at any moment. "You know, with all the rumors that circulate about you. Being Fairy Tail's strongest female mage, rumored to destroy a large mountain with just one kick, having disbanded dark guilds easily." Jack started walking forward to the crouching scarlet haired girl, the top of one of her blades scratching against the stones and making an irritable screeching sounds as she passed. "What do you have to say for yourself, for being so weak? Hmm?" She stopped, standing a few paces away from Erza. "What would your friends say when they see you kneeling before your enemy in pain, not having enough strength to get up. What would they say?" Jack mocked, tilting her head a bit to the side. "Because if I were them, I would be deeply disappointed in you. I expected more, and heaven only knows that they expected more." she continued only to bend down so she could look at eye level with Erza, the scarlet haired warrior lifting her head to gaze right into the girl's eyes.

"Look around you." Jack said with a small grin on her face. "You guys came here thinking you would win, but look at your friends." With her free hand, she made a sweeping gesture around them, pointing out a bloodied Gray being held by his head, Lucy being beaten with no mercy by Mink, and Loke trying his best to deflect the attacks aimed at him by Willow, all looking to be losing their own fight.

Erza only blinked, still staring at Jack with defiance in her eyes.

"You're losing this battle, you've lost since the moment you stepped in here and that was your mistake." Jack said as she stood up to her full height, Erza's eyes following her every movement as Jack lifted her scythe and held it above her head, ready to bring it down and kill the famous Titania. "To say I'm a little disappointed, would be farfetched. Bye-bye, Titania." she sang as she brought down the scythe, the weapon a little more than a blur as it swung down to meet its target.
