Hey guys, here's the next chapter and we have some action here! So I hope you guys are ready for it! So hold on to your hats because we're going to dive into the action right now!

Rez: ;)

Luca: Heh, yea they are creepy, but we'll find out what will happen next. See if they can find a way to get Kera back ;)

Natsu popped his head out around the corner, seeing if there were any more guards around. Seeing that the place was clear he grinned and moved swiftly down the hall. Like a cat… well Natsu refers to a ninja… anyway, like a ninja the pink haired Dragon Slayer stalked down the hall without making a noise.

Catching a familiar sense he quickly jumped out of the way. Luckily he did because a second later a giant blast of fire hit the area where he had been just standing. Turning his head he saw Kera standing at the end of the hallway.

Grinning Natsu threw a ball of fire at her. Kera simply deflected the attack but when she returned her gaze back up front she noticed the Dragon Slayer had slipped. Narrowing her eyes she followed him.

Running around the corner she saw Natsu run through a door. Clenching her fist, a bright light appeared. Thrusting it forward she destroyed the door and wall where the Dragon Slayer had disappeared into.

She jumped through the smoke and debris to find herself in a giant empty room. She tried looking for Natsu but couldn't find him anywhere. Where did he escape to? Damn it…

"Down below!"

Snapping her head up her eyes went wide when she saw one of the giant chandeliers was headed straight for her. Quickly she rolled forward missing being crushed by the chandelier. It hit the ground the glass shattering into millions of tiny shards.

She looked up trying to see if she could find whoever had cut the wire. She soon got her answer as a hail of ice lances was headed straight for her. Narrowing her eyes she took a step back and moved her hands back. As the ice got closer to her she thrust both of her hands forward, a giant wall of fire emerging in front of her. The ice lances went through the fire and immediately melted.

"Water Nebula!"

Turning around she quickly raised her arms as two columns of water hit her. As the water made contact, steam filled the area in a rapid haste.

Juvia quickly moved to the balcony that was in the room. She could see the steam and cursed. "I can't see her!" She shouted.

"Damn it." Gray cursed also being on one of the balconies. "She used Juvia's water to cover the area."

"Keep your eyes open!" Natsu shouted from the back balcony.

Juvia glanced around the room trying to find any sign of the brunette. This was dangerous. They had hoped to attack the brunette and keep out of her sight, because what you can't see you can't hit. But now they couldn't see her…

A shadow moved behind Juvia and two eyes glowed in the shadow. Gray saw the shadow behind her and his eyes went wide. "Juvia watch out!" He shouted, but he was too late.

Kera had appeared behind the Water Mage and kicked her through the railing. Snarling, she slammed her foot into her back sending her crashing into the ground. Juvia screamed out in pain before the brunette sent a blast of her magic right into her.

"JUVIA!" Gray shouted.

He quickly tried hitting Kera with an ice hammer but she was already gone. He gritted his teeth and kept an eye out for her. Natsu did as well. So far their plan was not going as they wanted it to.

He hoped their second phase would work. Natsu saw something move and quickly jumped from the balcony. "Gray duck!" He shouted jumping over to his balcony. The Ice Wizard done what he was told and hit the floor. He could see Kera above him wielding a flaming sword that barely missed him, only cutting a few strands of his hair.

Natsu tackled the brunette and the two crashed through the barrier, falling down towards the ground. Kera grabbed the pink haired Dragon Slayer and threw him to the ground. He grunted as he hit the floor but cried out in pain as Kera slammed herself on him.

Kera snarled as she pulled him up by the collar. "I'm going to kill you."

The Dragon Slayer coughed. "Come on… Kera… this isn't you." He grabbed her arm surprising the brunette slightly. "You need to… get some damn… sense into your head!" He shouted punching her right in the face.

Kera stumbled back but quickly regained her footing. "You fool…" She sneered moving her head around. "You'll pay for that." Her arms started glowing and before Natsu knew it he was leaning back missing a dangerous attack that was headed straight for his face. But what he saw made his eyes go wide. Dragon claws!?

He jumped back and his eyes landed on her arms. They were surrounded by white scales and her hands have turned into claws. Shit… now he was even in more trouble. Well… that's something new, time to give it my all! He charged straight at Kera. "Fire Dragon: Wing Attack!" He shouted striking down.

His hands missed her as she gracefully dodged his attack. His eyes went wide as shock grew on his face. Kera smirked as she deflected the next attack before smashing her hand into his chest. Natsu gasped as he was blasted to the wall. It cracked under pressure and a few stones fell down.

He groaned. "That… that hurt…" He hit the ground and coughed slightly, holding his chest.

He heard footsteps heading towards him. Looking up he saw Kera walking towards him, fire surrounding her claws…

Natsu coughed as he tried to get back up. Kera definitely was stronger than before… a lot stronger. Man his chest was hurting like hell. The brunette grabbed him and smashed him against the wall. Natsu gritted his teeth slightly. "Anytime now!" He shouted as he saw Kera raise her arm.

Out of nowhere Kera's arm was frozen. Turning her head she saw Gray standing behind her already using his magic. Kera quickly dropped Natsu and caught Gray's ice sword before it hit her. She was sent a few meters back but still held onto the sword.

Gray gritted his teeth. "Come on Kera… we're your friends!"

Kera opened her mouth to say something but stopped all of a sudden. Gray looked a little confused. Why did she stop? Then he saw the brunette shake her head furiously before turning her attention back to Gray. The Ice Wizard noticed that she was about to break the sword but he smirked. "Oh no you don't!"

The ice from the sword started to lash out and jumped on Kera. It froze her on the spot from the waist down. "Now!" Gray shouted.

Kera gritted her teeth trying to get out of the ice. She saw something from the side and immediately raised her arm. She caught an arrow that was headed for her chest. Crushing it she turned her head around to see Lucy with Sagittarius on one of the balconies.

The Celestial Wizard as well as Sagittarius were surprised she caught the arrow with ease. "But how!?" Sagittarius shouted. "It's impossible to catch them… how did she…"

Kera broke out of the ice and glared at the two people on the balcony. Roaring a dangerous magic surrounded her body. Natsu's eyes went wide feeling the immense power! "Lucy! Get out of the way!" He shouted as he tried running towards her.

Yet Kera was quicker. Using all four of her elements she sent a giant ball of light towards Lucy and Sagittarius. The blonde's eyes went wide as she saw it coming, there was no way of dodging it.

"Lucy!" Natsu shouted running towards her, but he was too late.

The giant ball of magic exploded causing the entire balcony to blow up. Natsu's eyes went wide as he stumbled over his own two feet. "LUCY!"

"This ends now!" Kera shouted raising her arms into the air. Out of the ground two giant arms appeared. Slamming their stoned arms into the ground the beast pulled itself out of the ground. Both Gray and Natsu couldn't believe their eyes.

She was able to summon living things now!?

Natsu growled and charged forward, straight towards the earth monster. He roared like a dragon and used his bare fist to punch the earth beast to the ground.

Gray ran towards the earth monster as well. "Natsu switch! I got this thing! Take care of Kera!"

The Fire Dragon Slayer narrowed his eyes but nodded. Switching, Natsu now was running straight towards Kera. The brunette grinned as she watched him run towards her. She was about to strike back but something ran through her body, freezing her on the spot. What the!?

Her eyes went wide when Natsu was now in arms length. His fist was encased in fire and his face held deadly rage. "SNAP OUT OF IT!" He shouted punching her as hard as he could in her face.

The brunette was blasted back, hitting the wall and going through it. The debris fell on her as she hit the ground. She groaned as she could feel the pain from that attack, not only was the punch real hard but the rocks falling on her wasn't great either.

Moaning and groaning she moved the rocks off of her before getting back on her feet. She wiped the blood from her nose and spat some of the red liquid out of her mouth as well. She growled as she saw Natsu through the hole in the wall.

She took a step forward but pain shot through her head, stopping her. Gritting her teeth she held her head trying to shake out the pain that was bothering her.

Natsu lowered his guard for a moment as he saw this. Is she fighting back? What the hell am I thinking? Of course she's fighting back! Come on Kera! Just a little bit more.

Shaking her head again she glared back at Natsu. The Fire Dragon Slayer cursed slightly. Almost…

Kera leaned against the wall before pushing herself off of it. She charged straight towards the Dragon Slayer her hands bursting into fire and water. Natsu gritted his teeth. He quickly jumped to the side dodging Kera's attack. He tried punching her but Kera grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground.

Natsu quickly swiped at her feet knocking the brunette to the ground. She got back up but the pink haired Dragon Slayer already sent an uppercut straight to her chin. Kera grunted as she was punched down to the ground again.

Immediately he grabbed her by her collar and pulled her up. "Damn it Kera! Snap out of it! You're being controlled! Don't let them win! You're stronger than this!"

"G-Get… o-out… of… h-here." She growled. Natsu looked a little shocked as he heard this. He looked Kera in the eyes and saw the fire in them. She was fighting. But before he noticed her eyes were just a bloody red color.

Kera was having trouble, that was clear. Severina's magic was powerful but Kera's mind was slightly powerful and there was only one way to boost that up.

The brunette snapped and pushed Natsu off of her. The pink haired Dragon Slayer stumbled back as Kera got back to her feet. She moved her head before cracking her knuckles. Natsu groaned slightly shaking his head. Where the hell are you Erza!?

Gray in the meantime was dealing with the earth monster Kera had summoned. He had sent hoards of ice lances towards it.

The earth beast took all of them head on before smashing its giant fist right on Gray. The Ice Wizard had jumped away in time missing the attack that destroyed the ground. Landing a few feet back Gray tried to think of a way to beat this thing. It was strong and resilient. So far it had taken every hit he had sent at it and there was no single scratch on it. What the hell was this things weakness!?

He smashed his fists together. "Ice Make…" He stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Turning his head, his eyes went wide when he saw who was standing behind him. "Juvia!?"

The girl smirked at him and nodded. She looked beaten and bruised but she was still standing. "Let's take this one down together."

Gray smirked and nodded.

The two of them took a step back, both of their hands to the back. Both let out a loud yell before thrusting it forward. Juvia's water hit the earth giant full force, immediately Gray's ice covered Juvia's water and sent the earth monster back against the wall. It crumbled down, falling apart.

Gray smashed his hands together again. "Ice Make: Hammer!" He shouted smashing the hammer on the earth parts, crushing the monster into tiny pieces, making sure it wouldn't get back up.

The Ice Wizard sighed in relief. "Thank god… Kera's magic is definitely stronger." He muttered turning towards Juvia. She was waving around close to collapsing. Gray dashed forward and caught the girl before she hit the ground. "Juvia!"

"I'm fine…" She muttered holding Gray's arm. "Just… exhausted."

"Will you be alright?" Gray asked his eyes roaming over the room. Natsu was fighting Kera, strangely holding up to her attacks, though he seemed to be a little beaten up while Kera was in better condition, only having a few scratches.

He glanced over at the rubble from the balcony where Lucy was standing. He noticed that he couldn't find Lucy anywhere. Did she escape?

Wait!

He turned around and saw Natsu sending a punch towards Kera but she simply caught it before punching him in the stomach. Gray looked over at the Water Mage. "Come on Juvia, I think I know where we can go."

"We can't just leave Natsu." Juvia said glancing over at the two fighting Dragon Slayers.

Gray smirked. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Roaring Natsu sent a flaming punch back at Kera. "Come on Kera! Snap out of it! I'm not leaving until you get back to your senses!" He shouted. His fist made contact with Kera's hand who had simply caught it.

She squeezed his fist and growled. "My orders are to kill you all!" Pulling him closer she slammed her knee into his stomach. "And I will not fail!"

Natsu gritted his teeth. "And I will not give up on a friend!" He shouted back punching her in the face.

Kera stumbled back and spat out blood again. "You fool."

The pink haired Dragon Slayer clenched his fist, flames bursting out of them. "I know you're fighting back Kera. I know it because if you weren't you'd be more vicious, you'd be sending out more powerful attacks. You're holding back." His eyes narrowed down. "You don't want to hurt me."

"I'll make sure you won't be able to talk ever again!" She dashed forward her claws glowing with magic. Natsu's eyes went wide as he felt the power behind it. Kera gritted her teeth. "I will crush you! Dragon's Queen Secret Art!"

"Oh shit…" Natsu muttered as the light spread from her arm to her entire body. He couldn't dodge this attack there was no way. He raised his arm ready to embrace the attack.

Kera gritted her teeth as her eyes flashed. "Queen's Destruct-agh!"

The brunette stopped as pain hit her stomach. She had spluttered out blood from her mouth while her breath suddenly vanished.

Natsu lowered his hands slowly and glanced in front of him. Immediately his eyes went wide. "No way…"

"Sting!"

It was true. The blonde Dragon Slayer was standing in front of him, his fist smashed into Kera's stomach. The brunette coughed before hitting the ground, clutching her stomach.

Sting stood up straighter. "Sorry I'm late." He said glancing at Natsu. "I got lost, luckily someone found me and brought me here."

Natsu turned around and grinned as he saw Wendy and Erza standing to the side and with a battered Lucy next to them. Not to mention both Gray and Juvia were alright as well. Though he was relieved to see Lucy fine. He was worried something had happened to her. He had almost snapped.

Sting wiped his nose. "When I got the letter from Erza I set out immediately. Hope I'm not too late."

The pink haired Dragon Slayer grinned. "Nah, just in time."

Kera gritted her teeth as she got back to her feet. "Who… who do you think you are?" She asked turning her head to look up at Sting. When her eyes landed on him she froze. For a moment her eyes turned back to gold. "Sting?"

She grabbed her head and shook it. No… no this was not happening this…

"Kera listen, this isn't you." Sting started, taking a step towards her. "You can fight whatever is manipulating you. You're stronger than them, you know that."

Kera grabbed her head. What the hell was happening to her? She growled slightly as she tried to get things straight.

Sting smirked slightly as she grabbed one of her hands and looked her in her eyes. "Where's the girl that fights for her friends? Where's the Queen that fought tooth and nail to make sure the world doesn't succumb to darkness?"

The brunette grabbed her head again. This… this man was the reason why her head was hurting…

Gritting her teeth she suddenly lashed out aiming a punch straight at the blonde. Natsu's eyes saw this coming. "Sting watch out!"

He was glad for his warning but didn't need it. With ease he caught her fist. Sting looked Kera in the eyes again. "Come on Kera, fight it. I know you can."

Lucy leaned into Erza as she watched both Sting and Kera. "Do you think he can get to her?"

The red head smirked slightly. "Besides me and her mother there's only one other person she will listen to."

Sting smirked slightly as he glanced down at Kera. He knew that she was fighting the control that was over her mind. Maybe she just needed one more push. Sting pulled Kera closer and suddenly kissed her on the lips.

Kera's eyes went wide, completely surprised about the kiss. Her eyes suddenly went back from red to their golden color and slowly she closed her eyes, enjoying the kiss.

Erza sighed and blushed slightly. Of course he had to do that…

The two parted and Kera looked up at the blonde. Sting simply smirked. "There she is."

"Sting? W-What are you doing here?" She looked around the room noticing the destruction. "And where the hell am I?" She noticed Erza and her eyes went wide. "Erza you're okay!"

"You don't remember?" Natsu asked raising an eyebrow.

Kera groaned slightly, her head pounding. "The last thing I remember is… is talking to those two women and… and that one did something to me. The next thing I know is Sting kissing me! Like seriously!?" She shouted.

"And what the hell are you doing here anyway!?" She shouted at Sting. Immediately he raised his arms in the air. Kera was never this hostile, but after what Erza told him…

"So you have absolutely no memory of what just happened?" Lucy asked as she leaned against Erza.

Kera shook her head. "That doesn't matter. You guys need to all leave right now! I don't know what happened or how you're all here or even how Erza is even back to her normal self… but you're all going back."

"And you're going to fight those two women all by yourself right?" Gray asked crossing his arms over his chest. "The last time we checked, that woman had you under her control. And you think that you can beat her by yourself? Sure…" He said rolling his eyes.

Kera gritted her teeth. She was controlled? Wait… she did remember something… Shaking her head she glared at Sting. "Again, what is he doing here!?"

"I wrote him a letter." Erza stated taking a step forward. "I knew you wouldn't listen to any of us so I thought maybe he could get you to reason. This is not exactly how I was thinking it to happen but he did help you snap back to your senses. And I kind of promised him to let him know how you are when we find you."

Kera was about to snap back at her but Sting stopped her. "Kera stop this. I don't know exactly what happened to you but this is not you. You're not like this. Just stop pushing your friends away."

She pushed him away. "You don't know anything…"

"Then why did you lean into the kiss right about now?" He questioned her.

The brunette growled, her eyes still glaring at him. She wanted to punch him right about now but… why couldn't she do it? Why was he making her feel so confused?

"Hm… it seems that your magic isn't strong enough. Disappointing…"

They all turned around and saw both Lucretia and Severina standing on one of the balconies. The red haired woman looked angry, probably because her magic had failed. The other woman was smirking. "Well Severina, do you have a second plan?" she asked.

Severina simply turned around crossing her arms over her chest. "I still have plan B in my grasp." She knew that her magic wasn't strong enough, damn it. The Queen was way too strong willed. It was too good to be true.

Lucretia sighed. "It looks like I will have to do this by myself." Quickly she thrust her arm out a powerful blast of dark magic heading straight towards Kera. It was too fast and surprising that she couldn't dodge it. The blast hit her in the chest sending her flying back through a wall.

"Kera!" Everyone shouted watching her being blown back.

Immediately Erza changed into her Heaven's Wheel armor and charged straight at the woman. Lucretia smirked as she saw her charging straight towards her. "You think you can beat me?" out of her hands a strong blast of dark magic hit the red headed knight sending her to the ground. She gritted her teeth as the magic kept on assaulting her. "Damn you!" She shouted struggling to get away.

Natsu was the next to charge up to them. His arm was covered with fire. "Fire Dragon: Iron Claw!" He shouted smashing his hand at her. Out of nowhere the Dragon Slayer slammed into what seemed to be an invisible wall. "What the hell!?" He shouted.

Severina this time had her hand stretched out. "I don't just control minds you idiot."

Natsu growled. They were going to pay…

Sting helped Erza out while Gray smashed his hands together. "Ice Make: Cannon!" He shouted sending a blast of ice towards the two women. Lucretia smirked and shot another blast of dark magic towards them. The blast went through Gray's ice cannon blast and hit the ground where he and Juvia were standing. They cried out in pain, being blasted away.

Lucretia grinned raising her arm. "It's time we got rid of these pests."

The ground beneath every wizard turned black, black tendrils lashing out grabbing the wizards by their arms and legs. Wendy pulled at the black tendrils but then noticed that they were pulling her back… into the ground. Her eyes went wide. "It's pulling us into the ground!"

Natsu gritted his teeth as he tried to pull his arm away from the black tendrils. He tried using his fire but it seemed it had no affect on it. "Damn it…" He muttered. They couldn't go like this! They still had something to fight for!

Erza gritted her teeth as she pulled one of her arms back. This magic was dragging her into the ground and she was already half way through. With all of her strength she summoned a sword and threw it towards Lucretia.

The black haired woman simply moved her head aside, the blade missing her head by only a few inches. She smirked. "Nice last attempt, unfortunately it failed."

"You won't get away with this!" Erza shouted. "You hear me!?"

Lucretia chuckled eying the red head. "Oh, but I have."

Sting looked back at where Kera was blown back. Was she alright? Was she hurt? He grunted as he was pulled in deeper into the black magic. "Damn it…" He muttered. He didn't want to go like this.

"Gray my beloved!" Juvia shouted fighting the magic. Gray tried pushing himself out but he couldn't even move. He gritted his teeth. A cry of pain caught his attention and he saw Juvia being pulled deeper into the ground. His eyes went wide. "Juvia hang on!" He shouted.

Natsu gritted his teeth as he couldn't see a way out of this mess. This couldn't be their end… could it?

A growl behind him caught everyone's attention. From the hole in the wall where Kera had been blasted through, a claw slammed onto one of the rocks.

Everyone's eyes went wide when they saw Kera climbing out of the hole. Her hands were still turned into claws but there was a bright and powerful aura of magic surrounding her body. What shocked them the most was that her body was gaining scaled and that she was actually growing and changing!

Even Lucretia and Severina were slightly surprised.

Kera growled as she glared at the two women, her eyes turning into slits. "You… messed with the wrong person."

Natsu's eyes went wide as he saw this. He couldn't believe this was happening. "No way…" He muttered. Even the others were shocked.

Lucretia suddenly grinned. "It seems we will be having some fun."

Oh cliffhanger! So what did you guys think about this chapter? We finally have some action and Kera's back to normal... well almost. She's still a little different but this time they're going to fight both women! And something is happening to Kera! Would love to have a few more reviews guys ;)

Until next time!
