Narrator's POV

"Meredy, go to the other members of Crime Sorciere. They are in the forest somewhere west of here." Jellal said to Meredy

"Alright, I'll assist them in defeating their enemies." Meredy said while running off

"Oh no you don't!" the enemy swords woman shouted to Meredy, "No one gets away from the greatest swordswoman!". This woman is named Epitre Elite. She is a short white haired maiden carrying a long thin sword in her right hand. She has a white tight jacket on with trousers to match.

"Requip! Black Wing Armor!" Erza declared as she stood in Saryuu's way, "Moon Gl-"

"Mugen Suraisā!" Epitre said as she sliced Erza's Black Wing armor to hundr

eds of pieces.

"AAAaAAaAAAGH" Erza screamed before she dropped on the ground, blood exiting her mouth.

"Erza!" Jellal said

"Don't turn your back on me boy." Ganaroth said as Jellal and Ganaroth collided causing a large shockwave

Epitre ran in hot pursuit of Meredy, leaping through the trees effortlessly, using the trunks as leverage. It wasn't long until she caught up to Meredy in a little opening. Meredy barely noticed her before she was hit with Epitre's Kami Suraisā. "AAAGH" Meredy screamed after being hit.

"Kukukukuku... this is what happens when you run away little gir-AAAAAAAaaAAAgh." Epitre screamed after feeling a cutting pain in the same place she hit Meredy. "What have you done?!"

"Sense link. Complete"

Jellal looked at the Ganaroth standing before him. Ganaroth was brawling with Jellal when a large pain struck him out of nowhere. Jellal looked at Ganaroth's wrist and saw a pink bracelet with hearts seeningly tattooed onto him. "Meredy." he whispered. "Erza are you able to move?" Jellal said, although he was talking to an empty patch of grass, as Erza had already left.

Epitre's POV

"Sense link?!" I said as I looked at my glowing wrist. This girl is dangerous, I can't touch her with this on. I have to outsmart her. I held the sword to my throat. "I've heard of your magic, in a book of Lost Magic I stole. It directly links all that have been linked to feel each other's pain. However, you can not link injuries, but death is the one exception. I gladly forfeit my life. I die and you die with me".

"Don't! Your friend is linked too!" She's fallen for the bluff. As the bracelet disappears on my wrist I charge for her. "It's on your leg." she says just before I slice. I get distracted and I look down for one moment at my leg.

"Maguility Swords," the girl says as she summons tens of swords to attack me from all sides. Her link is gone too, and mine has returned. She's outsmarted me?!

"AAAAAAaaGH"

Her sword link is gone, this is my chance to attack! She must d-"Aaugh". I coughed up blood as the red haired swordswoman from before strikes me from the back. I fall on the floor, the blood from my side flowing out onto the ground. "I may not have killed you both, but I can't say the same for your friends that battled with my comerades." I curse as my consciousness fades. Just before I drift off I see my airship fly off. Suddenly, a large beam of fire erupts from the ground destroying the airship. My consciousness is gone
