Chapter 17: Demon VS. Knight!
Sakura was going though the fridge. Even though she didn't need food any more, she was hungry.
That was when she saw the cake.
"Why is there a cake in a bubble?" asked Sakura.
"Oh that's just plan B when we deal with Erza." Said Mirajane.
"A cake?" asked Sakura.
"It makes sense in context." Sighed Pearl not wanting to hear that explanation.
Sadly not having context only baffled Sakura further.
Meanwhile Robin was reading something off the tablet and laughing.
"What're you're reading?" asked Steven.
"Oh I got into Crying Breakfast Friends fan fiction." Said Robin.
"Really?" asked Steven, "What are you reading?"
"Spilled Milk Gets Spilled." Said Robin.
Steven's eye shrunk.
"You're reading that! It's the most infamous Crying Breakfast Friends fanfics there is!" said Steven.
"What's wrong with the story?" asked Amethyst.
"IT seems to be common for crying breakfast friends fanfics where they just give up and end it all." Said Robin.
"People actually write stories like that." Said Amethyst.
Robin nodded.
"Can I read it when you're done?" asked Amethyst.
"Seriously Amethyst?" asked Steven.
"Maybe later." Responded Robin.
Sakura stared at everyone who just went about their day.
"Seriously…" mumbled Sakura, "I think I should get context…"
Up in space, Maxixe was on a computer.
"This is really bad. They out number us…" said Maxixe.
"They have out numbered us for a while." Pointed out Danburite.
"Perhaps a surprise attack." Said Maxixe.
"You can not come up with an idea can you?" asked Danburite.
"We lost half of them already…" muttered Maxixe.
"That is why we should do a tactical retreat." Said Danburite.
"No I will get them back!" yelled Maxixe.
"Very well them." Sighed Danburite.
Back at the beach house the Forest Fairy's alarms started blaring.
"All right!" called out Nami, "It's go time for Mira's plan we need five volunteers to do the fighting."
"I'll help." Said Sakura.
"I guess I'll do it." Said Pearl.
"I'm going another round with the Princess." Said Amethyst.
"I think you're developing g an obsession." Said Steven.
"I am not!" said Amethyst.
"I'll help our this time." Said Lisanna.
"And since you're the one calling for volunteers you should be the last one Nami." Said Garnet.
Nami sighed.
"Fine…" she said.
The five that volunteered for the fight all got onto the beach, while those that didn't stayed on the deck.
"Do you think it will work?" asked Lapis, "I mean we don't now if their sending Erza."
That was when Maxixe's three underlings showed up along with the three of the second set of Conversion Gems.
"So you're the ones who want to fight?" asked Tenten.
"All right! Let's do this!" cheered Amazonite.
Pearl ended up fighting Eudialyte, Nami once again fought Danburite, Sakura ended up fight against Amazonite, Lisanna ended up fighting against Tenten while of course Amethyst fought against Vivi.
However Erza quickly realized something was up.
She looked up at the deck and saw the spectators.
"Where's Milky Quartz?" asked Erza.
"Were you looking to fight me?" asked Mirajane showing up dressed how she dressed when she was an angry teenager.
"What are you doing?" asked Erza.
"What you can stand me acting this way thunder thighs?" asked Mirajane.
Erza's eyebrow began to twitch.
Erza was about to say something.
"Oh wait I don't think I should call you that, thanks you embarrassing your gem you refuse to eat anything…" said Mirajane, "Or at you just trying to get as skinny as me?"
The relational part of Erza was trying to calm down.
While the fiery red head portion shouted "Oh no she didn't!"
"Why you!" yelled Erza.
"Catch me if you can!" yelled Mirajane.
She ran into the beach house.
The plan was for her to lead her away from Beach City to avoid collateral damage.
"Get back here!" yelled Erza following her.
Those on the deck made sure not to get in her way as she stormed into the beach house.
"That… was fast." Said Lapis.
Hinata nodded in agreement.
Inside the beach house Mirajane stood on a warp pad and waved bye to Erza who followed her.
Outside Eudialyte stared at the beach house.
"Wait… are they going to fight?" asked Eudialyte.
"Yes." Said Pearl.
"And their going all out?" asked Eudialyte.
"Maybe…" said Pearl.
Eudialyte jumped back from Pearl and tossed her tonfa on the ground.
"Screw this! I'm going to find where the fight is and go watch it." Said Eudialyte.
All of the other fights stopped when they heard this.
"What are you doing?" asked Danburite.
"Trying to stop me is a little hypocritical, isn't it after you let Morganite to fall to him." Said Eudialyte.
"I'm standing right here…" muttered Sakura.
"What you are doing is much more irresponsible, at least what I did I did it for science." Said Danburite.
"Do you have any idea I wanted to see this fight in person! It's going to be my only chance!" yelled Eudialyte.
"Wait…" said Amazonite, "How awesome will this fight be? On a scale of 1 to 10."
Eudialyte smirked, "11."
Amazonite eyes began to sparkle while she had the biggest smile imaginable as she shook.
"All right! Want to watch!" cheered Eudialyte.
"OH YEAH!" cheered Amazonite.
"You seriously want to watch some stupid fight?" asked Danburite.
"Stupid fight? Did you learn nothing from watching those planets?" asked Eudialyte, "The fighters are some of the best… in fact did you once say that that guy Luffy fought a god…"
"I said he fought a man who thought he was god and nearly had the powers to prove it." Said Danburite.
However Eudialyte wasn't paying attention instead called Maxixe on her bracelet.
"Two of them got away via warp." Said Eudialyte, "Can you tell me where they are?"
Up in the ship Maxixe was checking the recent warp history of Earth network.
"They went to a dessert." Said Maxixe.
"All right… I'll go after them!" cheered Eudialyte.
"Eudialyte what are you planning?" asked Maxixe recognizing the tone.
However Eudialyte hung up.
Back on the beach Amazonite cheered.
"To the dessert!" she yelled.
Danburite's eyes twitched. However both of them ran into the beach house to use the warp.
"Verdelite, Aquamarine, we are going back now." Said Danburite.
"Fine…" muttered Tenten.
Vivi on the other hand was staring off in the distance then face palmed.
"Oh Luffy." She muttered.
Tenten looked at Vivi.
"Is she okay?" asked Tenten.
"Finding out that a friend fought a god like being and winning will do that to any one." Said Danburite.
"Okay… wait what?" asked Tenten.
However the three of them were already beamed away. There was an awkward silence.
"I'm going to have to see that fight…" said Amethyst, "Anyone want to come with?"
"What?" asked Pearl.
"I should bring the cake." said Lisanna.
On the deck…
"So Steven do you want to watch too?" asked Garnet.
"Oh yeah." Said Steven.
"It does sound like fun." Said Robin.
"Seriously!" yelled Pearl hearing this.
"Oh come on it's going to be a really awesome fight…" said Amethyst.
"Seriously what's the appeal?" asked Pearl.
"Let's just go and watch it without her then." Said Amethyst heading towards the beach house.
"So…" said Sakura, "how strong is Mira?"
"Well from what Hinata told me she's a Jonin…" said Nami.
"Seriously?" asked Sakura.
That was when they noticed that Hinata and Lapis wanted to join in watching.
"REALLY!" yelled Pearl, Nami and Sakura.
"Well I kind of want to see Mira go all out because it rare when she does." Said Hinata blushing a little.
"It would be nice to see her use that while not being on the receiving end." Said Lapis scratching her cheek.
"I guess we should go…" sighed Pearl.
"Make sure no one gets hurt." Sighed Nami.
"Yeah…" sighed Sakura.
A few minutes earlier, in the desert, the two arrived and Mirajane ran away a few hundred feet away from the warp until she stopped.
"Why did you come out here?" asked Erza.
"This is the safest place to go all out." Said Mirajane who immediately went into Satan Soul Mode.
Erza gritted her teeth and switched the Heaven's Wheel Armor.
Mirajane practically flew to Erza with a punch. Erza used one of her swords to block.
"She is taking this seriously…" thought Erza.
She jumped back and requiped into an armor that was very dark red, spikey and resembled a dress somewhat. She also held a weapon that resounded something between a mace and a sword.
"So the Purgatory Armor…" said Mirajane, "Glad you did decided to take this seriously after all.
Mirajane unleashed her wings.
She flew towards Erza who tired to attack her with her weapon, but Mirajane caught it.
"You claim that no one's ever lived to see that armor again… but you're just weak with it!" Mocked Mirajane.
Erza glared at her and tried to get the weapon away from her but Mirajane wouldn't let go.
Mirajane held out her hand. That was when the arms of darkness came out of there. Era quickly requiped into something resembled a leopard pint bikini with piece of armor, as well as a cat ear and tail.
She immediate seemly disappeared to in order to dodge the hands of black energy.
"Seriously?" asked Mirajane, "Resorting to that?"
Erza ran away from the spell, however once it stopped, Mirajane managed to grabbed Erza in mid run and tossed her into a rock.
"For an armor it doesn't protect much." Mocked Mirajane.
That was when Amazonite and Eudialyte arrived, both of them knew to watch it from a safe distance.
"All right! It looks like it's about to just get good!" cheered Eudialyte.
Erza managed to get up and requiped into an armor that that a strange leather cape, that body part resembled a red one piece, and armor on her arms and legs, also her hair was now in a hair style containing a set of twin buns with more hair tied in loops. She also now held two swords.
"Morning Star Armor." Said Mirajane.
Erza brought together the two swords creating a large orange explosion that hit Mirajane straight on engulfing her.
That was when the Crystal Gems arrived.
Amethyst and Steven were both holding snacks, while Lisanna was holding the cake still in its bubble.
"You guys came to watch too huh…" said Amazonite she noticed the cake, "Why do you have a cake."
"Well it's hard to explain…" said Lisanna.
Eudialyte quickly realized what it was for.
"If this fight doesn't work you're going to do destroy that cake…" said Eudialyte pancaking a little.
She had been watching Fairy Tail for many years.
So of course she knew about the cake.
"What about the cake?" asked Amazonite.
"You destroy her cake… and she destroys you…" mumbled Eudialyte.
Amazonite and the Crystal Gems with the exception of Garnet, Robin and Lisanna all froze when she said that. Sakura was the one most shocked since it was news to her.
"Pretty much." Said Lisanna.
"That would be interesting to see…" said Robin.
"Shush, Red Beryl only now got in a hit…" said Eudialyte.
Back with the fight, Mirajane managed to get up.
"Heh… I thought you had given up by this point." Said Mirajane, "I mean that's what you're doing."
"What's that supposed to me." Said Erza glaring at her.
"You know what I mean… giving up your existence to the gems…" said Mirajane.
Erza glared at Mirajane even more.
She immediately requiped into very different armor. The upper half was made of a pink metal that also covered her arms and legs, however the lower of the lower half of the armor seemed to be a skirt. She also had a spear that had to blades.
"Lightening Empress? I had no plans of even using my lightening magic." Mocked Mirajane.
"Well you did call me thunder thighs." Said Erza who seemed to smirking.
Mirajane tried her hardest not to laugh at that one.
However Erza created a lighting bolt from the spear. Mirajane dodged the lightening bolt and Erza sent more at her. The more she dodged the more Erza realized something.
"Why is she doing this?" thought Erza, "Did she really revert, she has Lisanna with her…"
That was when noticed Mirajane's hairstyle, when she went into Satan Soul it reverted to her usual forehead tail.
"Why are you acting this!" yelled Erza as she stopped her attacks.
"Oh you finally now question it?" asked Mirajane.
Erza glared at her.
"I should be the one questioning why we're even fighting…" said Mirajane, "You're the one who gave herself to the Gems… I made a break for but you just gave up…"
Erza glared het again.
That was when Mirajane put her hands together and created a ball of purple energy that turned into an energy beam and hit Erza.
"You shouldn't be worried about me, I should be worried about you." Said Mirajane.
Erza managed to get up and requiped into pink armor that was wing like, in fact she had wing like ornaments in hair, which was styled into twin braids.
"The Armadura Fairy…" said Mirajane, "Your strongest armor."
Erza was quiet.
"Do you even remember why you named it that." Said Mirajane.
"Of course I do." Said Erza glaring at Mirajane, "I named after the guild…"
"You did… and now you're going to destroy it…" said Mirajane.
"I would never destroy the guild!" Erza blurted out.
"Even if you were ordered by the Gems… because that was the reason why we were turned into gems to destroy every single guild… including Fairy Tail…" said Mirajane.
Erza gritted her teeth while shaking.
Mirajane whispered something.
Erza blinked it was as if she heard it, then glared at Mirajane.
She charged her sword and created green energy from it.
At the same time Mirajane knew what to do. She created a ball of black energy in her hands.
"Soul Extinction!" she called out.
The green energy and the black energy collided and created a large explosion covered a large area of the desert.
Inside the heart of the explosion an image of a human Mirajane and Erza stood. Mirajane smiled and held out her hand at Erza. Erza grabbed and smiled.
Outside of the explosion the ball of black light popped out, however everyone was more concerned with the gigantic explosion than anything.
"AWESOME!" yelled Amazonite.
"I know right!" said Amethyst.
"Told you so." Said Deadeye with a smirk.
However the more sane member of the group saw this explosion.
"I shouldn't have come." Muttered Pearl.
"Yeah…" said Nami.
"Do you think they're okay?" asked Steven.
"I'm sure they are." Said Garnet.
Once the explosion clear both of them laid in the crater.
Mirajane could no longer hold Astana Soul while Erza's armor was in pieces. It was clear both of them couldn't move.
"I had to completely recreate this armor from scratch." Said Erza.
"I'm surprise it's still the same color." Said Mirajane.
"Yeah…" said Erza, "I guess since it was technically a shade of red."
"Yeah…" laughed Mirajane.
That was when the Crystal Gems approached, shocked at they saw.
"Neither one of you retreated into your gems?" asked Pearl in shock.
"We're members of Fairy Tail…" said Mirajane, "You should know by now we defy logic."
"I take you managed to beat sense into her." Said Amethyst.
"She did." Said Erza.
She smiled at Mirajane, remembering what Mirajane whispered to her.
"Erza… please come back to us."
Both Amazonite and Eudialyte approached the crater.
"So we lost Red Beryl." Said Eudialyte.
"You know you'll probably get in trouble with Maxixe." Said Erza.
Both Amazonite and Eudialyte had a certain look on their face.
"Totally worth it?" asked Amethyst.
"Totally worth it." Said Equity nodding while Amazonite gave the biggest smile possible.
Both of them vanished.
"Can you two even move?" asked Sakura.
"Nope." Said Mirajane.
"Both of us used too much magic." Said Erza.
Garnet picked up Mirajane while Sakura picked up Erza.
As they headed towards the warp Steven realized something.
"That's weird." Said Steven.
"What is?" asked Lapis.
"When everyone else were no longer controlled they passed out but it didn't happen with Erza." Said Steven.
"I don't think we should question it." Sighed Amethyst.
"Why?" asked Steven.
She pointed to the giant crater.
"I think passing out from regaining herself is less stranger than that fight." Said Garnet.
There was no arguing with that…
"By the way… why is Lisanna carrying a cake?" asked Erza.
"We going to destroy it if the fight didn't work." Said Amethyst.
Erza's eye ticked.
"Really?" asked Erza.
"Oh come we all know how you react when someone destroys your cake." said Mirajane.
Erza sighed.
Meanwhile on the gem ship, Maxixe was messaging a headache. She was of course hewing out the two.
"You let them fight… then you went to watch the fight?" asked Maxixe.
"Yeah…" answered Eudialyte.
"What do you two have to say for your selves." Said Maxixe.
"Worth it." Eudialyte said.
"It exceeded my expectations!" said Amazonite.
Maxixe began to slam her head into the desk that was in front of her.
Danburite entered the room.
"I recorded the fight." Said Danburite.
"So…" said Maxixe.
"The situation is more grim for us than it seems." Said Danburite, "Neither one retreated into their gem after the fight…"
"Oh yeah, forgot to mention that." Said Amazonite.
"We're taking the next few days off!" Maxixe said suddenly, "I just need… I just need to recoup…"
None of them argued with her for obvious reasons.
The next day, as Erza and Mirajane needed a rest after that fight… it was time to properly introduce Erza to the rest of them.
"I apologize for my actions." Said Erza bowing, "Please if one of you would hit for atonement…"
Garnet looked like she was about but Steven stopped her shaking his head no.
"Only Tenten and Vivi are left." Sighed Hinata.
"Vivi I can handle…" said Nami.
"It's Tenten who's going to be hard." Said Sakura.
"Maybe if you could transform into Guy and Lee." Said Steven.
"No way! Ain't going to happen!" yelled Sakura.
Hinata was blushing.
""By the way…" said Mirajane taking out the cake from the fridge.
"Is it still fresh, I mean it's a week old…" said Nami.
"Oh yeah." Said Steven, "I learned a long time ago that bubble food makes them fresh"
She walked over to Lion and pulled a hotdog out of a bubble and started eating it.
"It's a month old and I can't even tell the different." Said Steven.
Mirajane but the cake (even though it was all for Erza anyway).
Erza happily ate the cake.
Amethyst had an evil grin on her face, however a purple hand popped out of the floor and grabbed her leg.
"Do you honestly want to destroy that cake?" asked Robin.
"Remember what they said." Said Garnet, "Destroy the cake and she destroys you."
Amethyst eyes widened.
"No…" she said remembering the fight from the day before.
And so with an epic fight they were able to reach Erza. With only Vivi and Tenten left they had to wait and come up with the next plan.
Which would be a while what with Maxixe deciding to take a vacation…
But of course they didn't know that part…
Either way they were going to get a well deserved rest.
Next Time: Jenny learns that Mirajane fills in for her. She becomes very jealous of her popularly, what will do? Find out next time!
A/N: Sometime earlier I put in the WMG about the Crying Breakfast Friends on TV Tropes... Because it sounds like something that would happen in canon (though never said on screen)... Either their less dark than the FiM Dark Fics... those are the ones that truly messed up.
