Chapter 32- Nirvana and Erza
Yukino, Sting, Rogue, Frosch and Lector found themselves with two options, door on the left, or door on the right.
"Rogue take left, Yukino and I will take right." said Sting,
"No way." said Yukino,
"Too right," added Rogue, "Sting you take left and I will go with Yukino right."
"NO." firmly put Yukino, "All of you go left. I'm going right."
Yukino didn't allow any more discussion; she just turned her back and walked away. When she walked in the room it was very dark like everything else in the castle-of-a-guild.
"Gate of the illuminant, I open thee: Lux." said Yukino waving about the silver key of Lux in front of her,
The young looking spirit appeared before her; he quickly transformed his arm and lit up the dark space. She walked around the black room and found another door. She eventually found herself walking through another passage way, luckily she had Lux, or she would be walking blindly.
"Mistress?" asked the spirit,
"Yes Lux?" responded Yukino,
"Why is it I am a fallen celestial spirit?" he asked,
"Well, celestial spirits are named after constellations, in other words, clusters of stars. All stars fall or die at one stage or another. The legend is that there used to be a series of forgotten or 'fallen' constellations, in this legend, there was once a constellation named Lux. That's what you are named after." explained Yukino,
"Does that make me special Mistress?" asked Lux,
"You're special no matter what Lux." replied Yukino.

Sting and Rogue and the exceeds, opened the door to find themselves confronted with their ugliest nightmare. Minerva.
o0o
Freed, Warren and Levy walked up the stairs and they reached another door.
"I'll go." said Warren,
"Me to." said Freed, "We never know who we are going to run into and your magic isn't exactly designed for combat."
"Good luck!" said Levy.
o0o
"Max, Wendy, Laki and Romeo," said Gildarts, "Take the same route as Freed's group, so turn left at the first fork."
"Pantherlily, Cobra and Kinana, take the same route as Jellal's group, that's a right turn at the fork."
"Bickslow, Evergreen and Elfman, you're coming with me, we'll follow in the tracks of Laxus's group." finished Gildarts.
o0o
Ultear turned to the door,
"I'll take this one, you go on ahead to the next floor." she said,
"Okay." said Jellal.
o0o
Yukino continued down the passage way with Lux until they reached an end. Yukino looked around, a dead end?
"Mistress, look up," said Lux,
Yukino lifted her head so she could see the ceiling. A door on the ceiling?
"How are you going to get up their Miss?" asked Lux,
"Gate of the heavenly scales, I open thee: Libra!"
Libra appeared before her.
"What can I do for you Master?" asked Libra,
"Please use your gravity magic to send me through that door." requested Yukino pointing up to the ceiling,
"Of course Master. Brace yourself." she said,
And with one swift hand movement Yukino shot through the door and landed on a hard surface. Yukino had her arms above her head to brace herself breaking through the door. She winced though because it still hurt.
"O-ou-ouch…. Th-thankyou Libra." Yukino stuttered in pain, "You can go back now," she spluttered waving the key in forced closure.
Yukino got to her feet and looked around; her surroundings looked like at an old shack, the moonlight seeped through the cracks in a rotting timber that held up the place. The shack was a decent size and quite spacious. Looking out a window, that appeared more like a hole in the wall, she could see the guild about three hundred metres away. When Yukino walked outside and noticed the shack was sitting on the outskirts of the clearing and half in the forest. She turned back and saw the shack had disappeared, concealment magic perhaps? Yukino took a step back and the shack was in view again.
"I see." she muttered to herself,
"Mistress!" came Lux's small voice,
Yukino turned around to where Lux was pointing, there was a girl standing by holding Natsu in her arms.
"Natsu-sama!"
The girl holding Natsu collapsed almost too suddenly.
o0o
Cosmos was greeted by two others,
"So pitiful." commented Kamika walking up to the right side of Cosmos,
"Agreed!" said Uosuke with the permanent grin on his face as usual.
The former Garou Knights, are in this battle to.
o0o
Laki, Max, Romeo, Wendy and Charla walked down the same corridor as the first rescue team (Levy, Lisanna, Freed and Warren). Every team was supposed to have a purpose, but with such little information on the layout of the guild and its size, also the confusing scents of so many mages and smells in the forest, made it impossible for each team to fulfil its particular mission. So for now, the conscious mages of Fairy Tail and Crime Sorceire would keep in telepathic contact and prepare for anything to be thrown at them. Laki, Max, Wendy and Charla all followed Romeo with his flames in the lead. The corridor/passage was still dimly because Romeo's flames were blue and cold and not as bright. They reached the end of the corridor and decided to all take the same path. On the downward descent, they could hear talking. They were extremely cautious at first, but then they heard a familiar voice. Drunken Cana… They recognised another familiar voice. Lisanna!... But if Lisanna is down there, where is them? thought Wendy, I suppose they may have split up… They burst into the room to find Cana and Lisanna with an unconscious Lucy.
"Lucy-san!" Wendy rushed over to Lucy's side,
Wendy placed to hands centimetres above Lucy and a blue glow was produced from her hands. Lisanna grabbed onto Wendy's wrists,
"Don't waste your energy Wendy, I'm afraid you can't heal her because she isn't actually wounded, but magically drained." explained Lisanna,
"Oh…" said Wendy as her saddened eyes cast a look to the ground and Charla nodded in agreement with Lisanna.
"Is she on our side?" asked Laki gesturing at the icy blue haired mage with a slightly sceptical look.
"Yup!" replied Cana,
Laki raised an eyebrow; it was odd for Cana to act like this even when she is drunk.
"My name is Rena, but you might know me as Snowflake," The Silence mage beamed as her cheeks dusted a rosy colour,
The fairies also seemed to notice her guild mark presented so openly on her left cheek. Rena extended a hand to Laki. Laki stared at it and hesitated, then shook her hand. Rena smiled brightly, and then burst Laki's personal space bubble, by leaning in and smelling her hair.
"Your hair smells nice!" Rena complimented oddly, "And you're actually really pretty!"
"Uhh… Thanks?" replied Laki, "So anyway, I'm Laki Olietta by the way."
"I'm Max," said Max pointing toward himself with his thumb,
"I'm Wendy and this is Charla," introduced Wendy smiling a little,
Naaaaaawww she's so adorable! thought Rena,
"Romeo," said Romeo simply raising a hand in a kind of hi-but-I-couldn't-be-bothered manner,
"I'm Lisanna Strauss!" chirped Lisanna,
There was a short awkward pause meant for Cana but she seemed to be preoccupied in deep thought or something,
"And that's Cana," finished Wendy politely however awkwardly pointing to Cana,
"I'm pretty sure you will have guessed this is Lucy," chuckled Lisanna awkwardly still holding Lucy in her arms,
She really is heavy… sighed Lisanna, it must be her ginormous breasts… she thought.
o0o
Sting and Rogue had a tough battle against Minerva, neither side winning nor losing simply former Sabertooth mages going round in circles with their attacks. All mages were seriously but equally disadvantaged by the fact that they couldn't destroy the basement they fought in, or they risked hurting their comrades or in Minerva's case her 'powerful empire'. Still battling strong though, the twin dragons continued battling hard on a small destructive scale, but much longer and soon enough they could be bringing down majority of the guild. That was if Minerva's words were to be trusted, she said they were in the basement, which wasn't hard to believe, but you can never trust someone like Minerva.
o0o
Gildarts, Evergreen, Elfman and Bickslow of Fairy Tail versus, Cosmos, Kamika and Uosuke the executioners, of Silence (formerly, the Garou knights). An intense glare was all that was exchanged from enemy mages. No words, just a glare. Fairy Tail and Silence members were both equally matched in the previous match, their bodies still lay unconscious on the stone court yard floor. Elfman's bulk hand drifted towards Evergreen's. Evergreen smirked and locked pinkies with him. They had made each other a promise,
If we are still standing by the end of this, we'll announce to the guild for real… We are getting engaged.
Both sides charged toward each other, and hence the battle has begun.
o0o
Cobra, Kinana and Lily felt their way through the dark passage. Cobra requested Kinana be in her Cubellios form, which really was his condition for going without his fellow guild members of Crime Sorceire. Kinana complied and performed a take-over into her Cubellios form.
"What is the use of a cat?" grunted Cobra at Pantherlily,
After passing into a thin ray of light Pantherlily stopped and transformed into his battle form.
"I heard that." said Cobra,
Pantherlily shook his head and rolled his eyes.
o0o
Mary, Coco and Sugarboy sat by guarding the roped up Silence sentries.
"Why did we get the boring job!?" complained Mary resting her back up against the wall,
"I don't know!" sighed Coco laying on the ground like a star fish looking up at the stars in the night sky,
"Well I think it's a lovely night!" added Sugarboy slicking back his blonde hair.
The sentries were all still passed out cold and hadn't even flinched. Mary, Coco and Sugarboy should consider themselves lucky they don't have much action.
o0o
Warren, Freed and Ultear all found themselves in the same room. The next match: Warren, Freed and Ultear vs. Naturi the Spirit Witch.
o0o
Levy reached the top floor on her side and Jellal on the other. Levy got there first.
"Nirvana…" her voice shook with fear…. "And… Erza…"
Levy felt the shivers down her spine.
"What do we have here?" sneered Erza with a twisted smile, "A little Levy-chan!"
Levy backed up until Erza had backed her into a corner. Levy couldn't stop shaking,
"Please, Erza…" pleaded Levy,
"Requip, Purgatory armour!" Erza demanded,
Erza looked so scary when she was on their side, but an evil Erza? Boy this was out of this world kind of scary! Literally scarier than evil Erza Knightwalker…. And with a quick swipe of the purgatory club like sword Levy was out.
"That was too easy it was boring." whined Nirvana,
Erza chuckled, "Too right Boss."
"Erza stop!"
Erza turned around.
"Good evening, Jellal." she smirked in a sinister tone with a club resting over her armoured shoulder.
"Erza." started Jellal, "Stop this madness."
