Chapter 12: Loki attack: part 2 Hostage situation
Last time
"I've had enough of these games now!" Boomed Loki's voice as everyone even the villains looked up and saw Loki hovering above them all. "You hero's should remember this trick. After all it is how you all were put into the DISK's in the first place." Continued Loki as the others knew where he was going with this, but had no idea who he had.
Loki knew that he had them now and brought out his secret weapon. "If you don't want anything to happen to her then you'll all surrender immediately!" He finished as a portal opened up behind him. And what came out of the portal shocked Lucy to her core. Because, there before her bonded in weird purple chains was no other than Erza Scarlet.
As Lucy looked on her strength left her legs as he slowly feel to her knees as she couldn't take her eyes off Erza. 'Erza is alive! But I thought she and the others died a year ago.' Thought Lucy as a million thoughts went through her mind as her idol, friend and teammate floated in front of her.
Meanwhile Loki watched as Lucy started to shut down and grinned. He knew that attacking her heart was the way to go and now all he had to now was finish off the Avengers and his brother. But little did anyone know or saw was that Erza eyelids moved a little.
Present
As everyone in the area stared up at Loki's hostage only Lucy and Ironman knew who it was. Knowing how much Lucy treasures her friends Ironman looked over at Lucy and didn't like what he saw. She was just sitting there on the ground looking up at where Erza was and not moving. Ironman knew that if they weren't careful it would be all over.
"Lucy snap out of it. For all we know that isn't even really Erza, it could just be a projection of her or something like that." Roared Ironman hoping that his words would reach her and bring her out of her state of mind she was in.
Lucy then looked over at him with a faraway look in her eyes. "But what if it is? I lost her once, I won't lose her again." She countered as Ironman knew she had a point there, but didn't like it. Meanwhile Loki watched on as he knew that Lucy was no longer a problem for him. He then turned to his allies and grinned.
"Finish them." He told them as they all charged at the distracted Avengers. When the Avengers knew what was happening the Masters of evil were all over them.
War Machine was trying to dodge the Pumpkin bombs and Razor blades that the Green Goblin kept throwing at him. But no matter which way he turned the Goblin was on top of him. War Machine was starting to worry since he couldn't turn his weapons around and return fire. It was then that a lucky Razor blade hit his missile launcher causing it to explode and sending him flying towards the ground. It was only luck that saved him as he regained control just in time and flew away from the ground. He then got a good angle and opened fire with his Machine gun forcing the Goblin to dodge.
War Machine then got an idea and flew right at the Goblin surprising him with such a move. The Goblin thought war machine was going to tackle him and flew out of the way, but when he did that War Machine fired with his War Cannons at him. The Goblin was cut off guard by the move and the blast hit his glider causing him to lose control of it.
"Mayday, mayday!" The Goblin cried out as he tried to regain control only to hit the side of the cliff and fall into the waters below. War Machine watched as he fell down and was about to help him, but his systems were in the red. If he tried to help him, then both of them would need saving, so he had no choice, but to land as start some repairs.
Meanwhile back with Ironman, the Absorbing man charged at him and threw a punch at him that hit his chest causing it to dent a little from the hit. "Is that all you got tin man." Taunted the Absorbing man as Ironman got back up and took a quick glance over at Lucy. She was still in the same position and it looked like she was going to be no help, their only hope was that the Hulk would get back into the fight and soon.
Looking back at the Absorbing man he saw that he was absorbing the rock under him as his body turned brown and looked more rock like. "What with the new look?" Questioned Ironman as he wondered why he chose rock of all things to absorb.
The Absorbing man just smirked at the question. "Easy I learnt some new tricks, like this." He said as he shot out his arm like a whip. Ironman was caught off guard by his new abilities allowing the whip hit him. When Ironman tried to get back up Absorbing man's arm warped around him, trapping him there and then he started to squeeze him.
"How… how are you doing this?" Questioned Ironman as he tried to figure out a way out for this situation before he was crushed.
The Absorbing man just laughed at Ironman as he continued to put the squeeze on him. "We're in a land of magic so I just learnt some magic that works well with my powers. Say hello to my earth manipulation magic. With this stuff I can control anything from the earth, even my own body when I absorb it." He explained to Ironman as he started to laugh at him.
Hearing that Ironman then rerouted power to his chest piece and got it ready to fire. He then locked onto the Absorbing man and fired his shoulder missiles at him. The missiles all hit him and caused him to let go. As the absorbing man recovered from the attack, Ironman then fired his Unibeam at him. The blast hit him dead on and when it was over the Absorbing man was on the ground and knocked out. But unfortunately for Ironman he used too much of his power and his suit was about to run out of power.
"JARVIS how much power do I have left?" Asked Ironman as looked around him to see how the others are doing.
"Unfortunately sir using two Unibeams in such sort time has drained your power levels a great deal. You have about 17% of power left. I would advise that you fall back for the time being and recharge." JARVIS told him as Ironman knew he had to act fast. He then saw Thor taking care of M.O.D.O.K fairly well.
Since Thor had no to tech on him M.O.D.O.K couldn't use it against him as Mjölnir was just a super charged hammer meaning M.O.D.O.K couldn't do much against it. And from the look of things it seemed that Thor was about to finish the fight.
Thor then started to spin Mjölnir around as he glared at M.O.D.O.K. "I have no time to play with you M.O.D.O.K. I need to have words with my brother." He spoke calmly, but his face showed he was done playing around. "Mjölnir throw!" Yelled Thor as he threw his hammer at M.O.D.O.K with a great deal of strength and speed. When it connected with him, the force of the hammer sent M.O.D.O.K flying back as he couldn't move the hammer away from him. M.O.D.O.K then flew toward Loki, but Loki merely raised a DISK up.
"D-secure." Loki said calmly as M.O.D.O.K went back into the DISK before he could hit him. Seeing the M.O.D.O.K was gone for the time being as Thor called for his hammer back. As Thor looked up at his brother Ironman and War Machine did the same as they got ready to face Loki. Meanwhile Loki just grinned at them as he knew he would win. He then looked over at Lucy who hadn't moved an inch since the fight restarted as she stared up at his hostage. He knew that attacking her heart was the way to go and now it was paying off for him.
He then disappeared from the Avengers sight and reappeared next to Lucy with the blade on his sceptre next to her neck. "It's time to end this Avengers. Without her you have no one to support you and bring you out of your DISK's." Loki told them as he was about to slice her neck when somebody's yelling stopped him.
"Lucy what are you doing!?" Scream someone as everyone, even Lucy looked up and saw a pissed off Erza glaring at Lucy. Seeing this brought Lucy out of her state and then got scared at seeing Erza angry at her once more.
"Stand up and fight! You are a mage of Fairy Tail, and Fairy Tail mages fight with everything they have. Sitting there is disrespecting the guild and I won't stand for that." Continued Erza as Loki had enough of her and when to finish off Lucy. But luckily for Lucy hearing Erza words brought her back and she swung her fist at Loki and hit him where the sun don't shine.
Loki who wasn't expecting something like that took the full force of the punch and crunched over as he held his family jewels in pain. Seeing what happened the Avengers started to laugh at him. Lucy then stood up proud and tall and glared at Loki.
"I've had it with you Loki, you attack me, you attack the guild, and you kidnapped Erza! As the guild master of Fairy Tail I've had enough of you!" Lucy said in such a cold tone that even Loki was getting worried about what could happen to him. Meanwhile the Avengers were proud of Lucy as she overcame Loki's trap and she looked like she was ready to beat him up and then some.
Hearing all that made Erza proud to call Lucy her friend, but then something she said confused her. "Wait, what do you mean you're the guild master?" She asked confused as Thor turned to face her.
"We will explain latter fair maiden." Thor told her as he got Mjölnir ready for battle. Erza had more questions, but she knew she had to get free and help them. But the chains around her were blocking off her magic, so all she could do was watch for the time being.
As Loki recovered from Lucy's attack he glared at her. "Don't think that's all I had planned girl." He told her as he brought out three purple DISK's. "Destroyer D-Smash" He cried as three giant suits of amour appeared. The suits were all the same grey in color and had spike and the outside of its arms and legs. I had a flat top helmet that was in the shape of a Y with the bottom off and orange eyes that glowed.
Seeing the Destroyers the Avengers got ready, but with Ironman's power low and War Machine weapons damaged it wasn't looking good for them. Even with Thor and Lucy in good shape they had their work cut out for them. It was then that they heard it, the unmistakable roar that only the Hulk could make. Looking over they saw a green blur flew above them as the Hulk came crashing down on one of the Destroyers. With the Hulk's strength and gravity working with him the Hulk crushed one of the Destroyers helmet as it fell over.
Seeing this Lucy gave out her orders. "Thor, War Machine, you two and me will take the one Destroyer while Hulk take the other. Ironman get Erza free." She told them as they nodded and set out and did what they were told.
As the Lucy and co. charged the Destroyers, Ironman flew up to Erza and smirked behind his helmet. "Long time no see Erza." Ironman told her as he scanned the chains to figure out how to free her.
"What do you mean we saw each other a couple of days ago?" Questioned Erza as she though that only a few days has passed since they saw each other, as she caught Ironman by surprise with her response.
Ironman lifted up his face plate and looked her right in the eyes. "Erza it's been over a year since we last saw each other, everyone thought you and the others were died." He told her with a straight face. Erza couldn't believe what she was told, a year, but how was that possible? The last thing she remembered was Acnologia attacking them and them holding hands, but after that nothing other than waking up here.
"It's been a year?" Erza whispered to herself, but didn't have time to think about it more as an explosion brought her attention to the fight bellow her. Looking down Erza saw the Destroyers helmets opening up and firing energy beams at the others. They were ok for now, but it was only a matter of time before they couldn't handle it any more.
Looking over at Ironman, Erza got a determined look on her face. "Get me out Now!" She ordered him as she couldn't sit on the side any longer.
Ironman looked at her and shock his head not being used at being ordered around. "Hold your horses, I nearly got it." He told her as he found out that the chains had a weak point at the joints. So he activated his laser and cut through the chains just enough so she wouldn't fall, but then she did something he wasn't expecting. She forced her way out and started to fall towards the battle and as she fell she started to glow as she requip her armors.
When the light died she was now wearing an all-black amour that looked like a dress with spikes over it. The dress covered her upper body and arms. On her shoulders was a spike each that covered outwards a little. On her legs she wore a similar style boots that were black and had spikes on it. And in her right hand a large spike mace. This was Erza's Purgatory armor.
As she fell she let out a battle cry as she slammed her mace on a Destroyer's head smashing in inwards. Erza then jumped off the Destroyer as it fell backwards. Seeing this the Hulk didn't want to be outdone and jumped high into the air.
"Hulk Smash!" Cried the Hulk as he slammed the Destroyer on its head as it lost its balance from the attack. Seeing an opportunity Thor took and readied Mjölnir.
"Mjölnir throw!" Yelled Thor as he threw Mjölnir at the Destroyer as it went through its armor and finished it off.
Seeing that the Destroyers were dealt with everyone regrouped and waited to see what else Loki had for them. As Lucy saw Erza in her normal Heart Kreuz armor for the first time in a year, she couldn't control herself and ran over to her and gave her a big hug and she cried.
"Erza it really is you, I missed you so much." Cried Lucy as Erza smiled and patted her on her back. But at that moment Loki attacked them.
"Magic blast!" He cried out as he fired a blast of magic from his scepter at Lucy and Erza, but Erza was too fast for him and grabbed Lucy bridal style and jumped out of the way. As everyone looked over at him they saw that Absorbing man, the Green Goblin and the Lizard all regrouped around him.
Lucy looked at them and finally had enough of them. "Leave now Loki, you're out of tricks and you can't win." She told then as the other got ready for whatever he brought next.
Loki just snarled at her as his hatred for her grew by the second. "Not until your dead." He told her as he ready to attack, but paused when he saw her clasp her hands together and closed her eyes.
Lucy then started to chat something. "Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens...All the stars, far and wide...Show me thy appearance...With such shine. Oh Tetrabiblos... I am the ruler of the stars...Aspect become complete...Open thy malevolent gate. Oh 88 Stars of the heaven... Shine!
Urano Metria!" Said Lucy as planets appeared around her and when she finished she opened her eyes and the planets fired at the Masters of evil. Loki could only watch in awe as he never would have figured that Lucy had such a spell at her disposal. When the blast hit it caused a huge explosion that made the Fairy Tail mages around the guild wonder what happened and some of them rushed over to see what they could do to help.
Back at the battle the dust settled revealing a defeated Absorbing man, Green Goblin, and Lizard. But Loki was on one knee as he looked at Lucy with a glare. 'That spell was powerful. I barely had time to cast a defense spell, otherwise I would have been knocked out like the others.' Thought Loki as he was barely able to stand, he knew that this battle was lost. He miscalculated her strength and that his hostage would wake up and give her the strength she needed to win.
"You might have won this time Avengers, but I now know where I made my mistakes. And next we meet things will turn out differently I promise you that. But I do think I'll take these three back." Said Loki as he held up King Cobra and co. DISK's for the Avengers to see, before Loki put the others back into their DISK's and he disappeared from their view.
Seeing that the danger was over the Avengers relaxed a bit as Erza fell to a knee breathing hard as Lucy rushed to her side. "Are you ok Erza?" She asked as Erza gave her a weak smile.
"Yes, just a little tired is all." Erza told her as they heard people running up to them. Looking over they saw Marco, Wanaka and other guild members coming their way, but stop when they saw Erza.
"It can't be?" Marco said as he stared at Erza with disbelief.
"I must be dreaming." Said Wanaka as he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. Others were saying the similar things as Erza was wondering if Tony really did tell her the truth.
Looking at Lucy with a straight face Erza faced her fears. "Lucy how long has it been since I left for the trails?" She asked her hoping that tony lied to her.
Lucy knew that this was coming and knew that it was best to tell her straight. "It's been over a year since the trails. When we found out that Tenrou Island disappeared and we spent so long looking for everyone, but…." She trailed off as Erza got the picture.
"I see then, who is the master now then?" Erza asked her, but after hearing Lucy say it earlier she just needed to check.
"I am." Lucy told her. Erza just stared at here for a moment for she laughed a bit.
After regaining herself she looked at Lucy. "Thank you Lucy for the laugh, but really who is the master?" Erza asked again as Lucy wondered how long this would go on for.
"Erza, I am the master. After we lost all our great mages there wasn't many options for a master. The guild wanted me so I took the role." She explained to Erza again hoping that she would understand it this time.
As Erza thought about it with most of their best mages gone Lucy would be the best choice. "I see then." Was all Erza said as she couldn't keep her eyes open anymore and started to collapse. Seeing this Lucy rushed over and grabbed her.
Seeing this, the Avengers got worried. "Is she Ok?" Asked the Hulk as he saw how she smashed that Destroyer. It showed she was strong and he wanted to see how strong she was.
Lucy then quickly checked her pulse and breathing and gave a smile when she found both. "She's fine just sleeping." She told the others
As Lucy was glad that Erza was asleep Tony placed a hand on her shoulder. "Man what a day, first we save Erza, then we beat Loki. Man are we good or what." Boosted Tony as Thor didn't feel the same way.
"Nah my friend we only won a battle. For as long as Loki is out there, this war is far from over." He told them as Tony wanted to say something, but Rhodey beat it to him.
"He's right Tony look at the state we're in. Our amours are damaged and if Lucy didn't use that spell earlier who knows what could have happened." He told his best friend, as Tony had nothing to say. As the Avengers realized what happened today and how they got lucky this time. They weren't so sure what could happen night time.
It was then Lucy spoke up. "Then we get stronger, we get new skills, new gear, whatever that can help us beat Loki and his forces next time." She said with a fire in her voice that got the Avengers fired up as well.
It was at that moment that the guild members got over their shock of seeing Erza and came rushing over. "Master are you ok?" Yelled a member as the group came to a stop near the Avengers and Lucy. It was then that Marco and Wanaka saw Erza in Lucy's arms.
"Lucy is that truly…" Asked Marco who could finish what he was saying do to the shock of seeing Erza alive.
"It is." Started Lucy as the guild that knew Erza were shocked. "Listen I know this is a lot to take in, but if Erza is here and alive then that might mean the others are too. But for now we'll let Erza rest and then well ask her to tell us what happened." She told everyone as they knew where she was coming from.
Marco and Wanaka then came up to Lucy. "Here let us take Erza to the medical wing." Offered Marco as Lucy handed Erza over to them as they took her inside the guild. As they took her inside some of the members followed them as the rest went their own way. It when then that Lucy magic ran out and the Avengers went back into their DISK's.
Lucy looked at each of them as she brought out the rest of the DISK's she had. "We will be stronger next time and hopefully find out if Loki was lying to us or not." Vowed Lucy as she stared out at the ocean before her as she wondered one thing that Loki told her.
'What did he mean by a partner that wanted me dead?' Thought Lucy as she wondered what the future would bring.
Well Loki is gone for now, but who knows when he will be back and with what forces. And yes Erza is now here to stay, and she will also get some new tricks in the future.
Anyway as I said at the start I have an important announcement, I'm putting this story on hold for a while. It won't be long, but until the current situation in the manga is over I won't be writing. As I showed in a previous chapter Loki had teamed up with Zeref and I want to see what happens in the manga with him.
So until my next update which should be in a month or two and again I'm not abandoning this story just putting it on hold.
