A/N: Sorry about the late chapter. I had it written down on a piece of player for a REALLY LONG time, and just didn't get a chance to type it up. Plus, school.
Anyway, I'll try to update quicker from now on. :D
One more thing: I'll explain the title at the end.
"Nate!" Erza screamed. Her voice echoed through the halls long after she had stopped.
Gray threw open the door and rushed inside. The sight astounded him. The same man in white (Gray assumed his name was Nate) was standing over Erza, the latter crumpled on the floor.
He didn't think. Gray rushed towards Erza, and checked her pulse. He sighed, "Only unconscious. But, still..."
Nate was watching him with a amused expression, but Gray was completely serious.
"You will pay for what you did to her", Gray said, fire in his eyes. "Ice Make: Lance." He charged at Nate.
The villain broke Gray's weapon, quickly and easily. "If that's the best you can do, you have absolutely no hope. Even your puny shield can not decent against this." Nate shot a stream of boiling hot water at the ice mage.
Gray stood, hands in front of him. The water had barely skimmed his fingertips when he froze it all to ice and shattered it. Smirking at the astonished look on Nate's face, Gray spoke. "I fought a water mage once. She was a lot better than you, I may add."
"I doubt that", Nate replied. "Four Elements, JOIN!" He shot something else at Gray.
"Ice Make: Shield!" He yelled, to no avail. The mixed elements burned straight through, and pushed Gray into the wall.
He stood up, gasping. "W- What was that?"
Nate walked over to him. "This would be a good time for you to give up."
"Never." Gray replied, fierce.
Nate looked at him, and at Erza, whose eyelids were fluttering. "Just promise me one thing, if Erza wants to go back, take her, by all means. But if she doesn't want to go to Fairy Tail, you won't take her by force."
"I promise. Because she will want to go back with us."
"I wouldn't be so sure of that if I were you."
Before Gray could think about what Nate had said, Erza sat up. In a second he was by her side.
Natsu sat up and looked at Lucy, who was blushing. 'Probably because of the kiss. Lisanna will be mad if she hears about this.' (Yay, rhyme!) 'This entire girl thing is hard', he thought. The dragon slayer shook his head to clear it. "We should ding Gray and Erza."
Lucy blushed harder. "Um... Can you track them?"
"Of course."
"She liiikes you", Happy whispered in his ear.
"Don't make me beat you up, too", Natsu threatened.
Erza looked bewildered. "Where am I? Who are you?"
Gray made her face him. "I'm Gray Fullbuster. You were captured by this guy here." He points at Nate.
"Gray... What are you doing here?" She asked, glaring.
He let out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding. It was the same Erza. "Come on, let's go!"
"I'm not going anywhere with you, let alone back to Fairy Tail", she said in a fierce voice.
Nate was smirking behind them.
Gray turned to face him very slowly. The ice mace attacked, quicker than Nate could process it. "Ice Blade: Seven Slice Dance!"
That spell knocked the enemy to the ground. "How... How strong is Fairy Tail?" Nate wondered aloud.
Gray stood over him. "What did you do to Erza?"
Nate smiled. "Oh, that. I merely turned her memories of Fairy Tail... Bad, you might say."
At that moment, the door opened. Natsu and Lucy ran in, Happy flying behind.
"Gray! Are you okay?" Lucy yelled, rushing over. She saw Nate on the ground and her eyes widened. "You defeated him yourself?"
Natsu also stood, staring. 'How could Gray alone beat this guy. Even I needed Lucy's help.'
The celestial wizard had already moved on. "Let's get Erza and go back." She walked over to the said mage, who had been watching everything. Her eyes narrowed.
"No." Gray tried to stop Lucy, but it was too late.
Erza quickly requiped into her 'Heaven's Wheel' armor, and moved to strike the blond girl.
"Fire Dragon Claw!" Natsu yelled, the flames diverting Erza's attention.
"Stop!" Gray yelled.
Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Happy, and Nate all turned to look at him.
Gray took Erza's hand and made her face him. "Erza, we are your friends. Fairy Tail would never desert you."
She wrenched her arm away. "How dare you talk about Fairy Tail in front of me." Swords appeared, more than Gray could count, all pointed at him.
"Gray... Don't make her mad." Happy said in a soft voice.
"Ice Make: Sword!" Gray dodged and fought, until the only blade that was left was in Erza's own hand.
He looked into her eyes. "Erza. Remember me."
"I do remember you. Gray Fullbuster", she spat.
"No. Remember us all, the way we are. Not some fake memories he implanted into your head", Gray insisted.
Erza paused, confused. "What was he talking about?"
Gray leaned closer. "Please Erza. I know the real you is in there somewhere." His voice dropped until it was practically a whisper.
"This is the real me", snapped Erza angrily.
"No it is not." Gray took her face in his hands. "Fight him Erza. I know you can do it."
Erza pulled back. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm talking about this." Gray slowly kissed Erza. They stayed that way, lips locked, for a few seconds. He pulled back. "I love you Erza. Please. You have to listen to me."
Erza's eyes cleared. "Gray?"
He smirked. "Hope you heard all that 'cause I'm not doing it again."
Erza pulled him into a hug. "Thank you."
Gray laughed jokingly. "The great Titania thanking someone? What has the world come to?"
"Shut up", Erza muttered.
They both noticed Natsu and Lucy at the same time.
"Hey, Slanty eyes, don't just sit around doing nothing. You could help, too."
Erza opened her mouth to speak when Lucy knocked her over with a hug. "You're back!" She lowered her voice. "What was that between you and Gray, anyway?"
Erza blushed, looking over at the said ice mage, who was currently shirtless.
"Nothing. Let's go now." Erza stood up.
"It most certainly wasn't nothing."
At that moment, Nate slowly climbed to his feet, interrupting the fight between Natsu and Gray. "I will not let you leave after all you have done."
"And what can you do to stop us?" Erza replied, walking over to the door. She threw it open and gasped.
The hallway was gone.
A/N: oh look, another cliffhanger.
Anyway, if you haven't figured it out already, the title is whether Erza would be good or evil.
There will probably be just one more chapter for this, so I'm debating a sequel (when Nate attacks Fairy Tail)
What do YOU PEOPLE think?
