Chapter 22- I will go to any length
"Just go save Lisanna would you?" Lucy scowled.
Lucy death glared Flare with eyes that seemed endless.
"Blondie…" Flare stared back.
"I'll make quick work of this." said Lucy coldly. Lucy was out far out of character Flare almost whimpered; at least she's not being that egotistical cutesy brat! thought Flare. Flare wrapped her flaming red hair around Lucy's waist and whipped her across the face with another strand. Lucy singed the hair around her waist with ease and drew out three keys. Is she insane? thought Natsu. Yes, Natsu Dragneel hadn't left, but if Lucy ordered him not to interfere, he wouldn't, he understood it was something she had to do. As much as it pained Natsu to see Flare's hair whip across her face, Natsu didn't move from the spot. 'Just go save Lisanna' echoed in his mind. He did hope Lisanna was okay, and he would go find her, but he has to make sure Lucy will be okay first. Lucy just drew three zodiac keys! Even I know this isn't going to end well. She doesn't have enough magic for this, does she? another voice popped into Natsu's head. Natsu, what are doing? You're putting no faith in your best friend what so ever. You've hardly been there for her recently and you almost walked out when she needed you most, and you think you know what she's capable of. Think again Natsu….
"Scorpio! Gemini! Aries!" Lucy summoned the three before her,
"Aries! Wool bomb attack! Scorpio throw some sand at me! Gemini turn into me for unison raid!" commanded Lucy,
"Sumimasen!" exclaimed Aries, "Wool bomb!" a cloud of pink fluffy smoke enveloped Flare hindering her sight.
Scorpio blasted a beam of sand toward Lucy. Lucy grinned somewhat devilishly, and captured the sand in a ball of fire which she launched at Flare who was blinded by fluffiness. Flare screamed and Lucy smiled.
"Return Aries! Scorpio! Thank you!" commanded Lucy, "Gemini let's do this!"
Lucy and Gemini enchanted the spell and then, "Urano Metria!"
Conveniently Flare had just recovered from the previous blow when Urano Metria struck her, pounding her into the floor and bruising every inch of her body. Lucy turned away satisfied,
"And that is revenge, Flare Corona. Feel the pain of losing!" a dark Lucy spoke and laughed at her triumph.
"Don't think so little of me Natsu Dragneel." Lucy spoke as she spotted as shocked Natsu Dragneel lurking nearby.
Somewhere else in the guild…
"Why did you do that to Yukino? And since when did you ever finish a battle so pleasantly, Minerva?"
"Ahhhh Titania, since I made a deal with a certain someone to look after her." Minerva smirked.
"You? Upholding your end of a deal? Who are you and what have you done with Minerva?" chuckled Erza.
"Let me just say this. As much as I'd hate to admit it, there are stronger mages than I, and I do not intend on having myself shedding blood for simply not upholding my end of a deal." said Minerva.
"Requip!" Erza requipped her heavens wheel armour.
"Time to get down to business then." said Minerva.
"ENOUGH!" called a voice throughout the guild. Minerva and Erza's heads turned to the guild doors along with everyone else.
"The boss is here… til next time, Titania!" Minerva walked to her boss's side, as did the rest of the guild members of Silence. The boss had black and white hair that reached her waist, it was slightly wavy and was entirely black on the right side of her part and entirely pure white on the left side of her part. Her guild mark was on her forehead in black which contrasted against her porcelain white skin. She had one white eye and one black, complementing her hair colour. She wore the same cloak as the rest of the guild members and, other than colour; she was exact copy of the Spirit Witch. The boss's gaze wandered around the guild hall as she wore a small smile on her doll like face.
"I had expected more, from the strongest guild in Fiore." she said softly and sweetly, looking up. "So many fallen Fairies." she sighed. "But then some, fallen in Silence." she continued. "I have no intention in hiding my name or business here, my name is Nirvana. My magic is Nirvana, I also use mind manipulation, mind seeing and soul possession magic. My personal reasons for invading Fairy Tail is simply to invoke havoc and chaos, but I also did this for my guild members, they have their reasons, and I must respect that to earn their respect, trust and loyalty. I have been successful?" Nirvana paused, "I will allow Fairy Tail to recover and bring all surviving members to greet us, I'm afraid you seem a wee bit…. scattered… I will give you fifteen minutes." she finished.
Erza didn't say anything, she could sense an insane amount of power already. She gathered the other members in front of Silence, and they a waited what would come next.
"Pantherlily and Happy, two exceeds from Edolas. Bickslow, also uses human soul possession and a member of the broken up Raijinshu. Asuka Connell, the child of Bisca and Alzack Connell, the gun requip mages. Wendy Marvell, the sky dragon slayer who had the sky god slayer on ropes, impressive I might add. Gajeel Redfox, the iron dragon slayer and former 'Iron Gajeel of Phantom Lord'. Lucy Heartfilia, otherwise known as 'Lucky Lucy Heartfilia', a celestial mage known to possess ten of the zodiac keys and mastered a number of high class celestial spells, also possess a form of emerald fire magic. Erza Scarlet, given the title 'Titania, queen of the fairies', an extraordinary requip mage capable of defeating one hundred monsters and defeating Azuma of Grimoure Heart and many other strong mages. And lastly but not least, Natsu Dragneel, the fire dragon slayer and son of Igneel, known to surpass all before him; Zero of Oracion Seis among the many, and survived an attack of the legendary black wizard Zeref…. So this is what remains of Fairy Tail?" Nirvana finished.
"And that is what remains of Silence?" retorted Erza bravely,
"Yes, and one more person… Angel Aguria, master of Celestial and Angel trait magic!" Silence parted and Angel walked through the middle of them, her Fairy Tail guild mark that was once on the back of her hand was replaced with the insignia of Silence.
"I'm sorry, Fairy Tail. I will do what I have to for Yukino, I will go to any length." stated Angel.
