Erza vs Erza

"You wanna run that by us again?" Gray asked.

"I said was going to wake up the dragon," Natsu said, glancing at his guild mate, "Got a problem with that?"

"Aside from the fact that that's a giant dragon that could probably destroy the entire city?"

"That's the whole point," Natsu answered, "Särakaotus can take on the entire army, and win!"

"And what's stopping him from turning on us, and killing us?" Gray inquired, folding his arms.

"Come on Wendy!" Juvia said, "You know Gray's right!" Wendy had a feeling she was only agreeing with Gray because it was Gray.

"Well, dragons are very firm believers in honor," Wendy said, "If someone does something like this for them, they are honor bound to assist them."

"If we release him, Särakaotus will be in our debt," Natsu explained, "He'll have to help us. A dragon's honor is the most important thing to him."

"Maybe it was important to your dragon, but maybe this dragon will wake up, see more of the humans that chained it up, and gets really, really, REALLY mad!" Gray said, "Don't do this! Its not like there's any dragon police to make him follow his honor code." Natsu paused briefly to think about it.

"Too late!" he said, "Already made up my mind." He then inhaled.

"Natsu!" A massive cloud of dragon fire consumed Särakaotus. The tubes that were connected to his body, withered, and turned to dust, as the chains suspending him melted away. Särakaotus fell to the ground, free. But he didn't wake up.

"He's not waking up," Juvia said.

"Give him a second," Natsu said.

"I, for one, don't have a second!" Lucy snapped, "In case you've forgotten, I'm giving birth here!"

"Wait, you're giving birth!" Wendy said, as she hurried over to Lucy, "I've got to treat you!"

"Come on you stupid dragon!" Natsu yelled, "Wake up already! You owe me!" Särakaotus didn't even twitch.

"He'll wake up," Natsu said, "He has to."

"Keep focused!" Carla said, "We have larger problems than a comatose dragon at this point! Now Wendy, what were you saying about their plan to smash the island with the lacrima into Extalia?"

"Well, the extraction of magic from dragons is used to power the Dragon Chain Cannon," Wendy explained, "Using that, they were planning on dragging the lacrima island, and smashing it into Extlia. The two massive amounts of magical force would cause them to fuse, and magic would bind to world itself. They'd truly have eternal magic."

"Then the guild members will be killed!" Juvia said.

"That's insane!" Natsu yelled, "We've gotta stop them! Wake up Särakaotus!"

"Stop trying to wake it up!" Gray said, "It isn't going to work!"

"What are we going to do about Lucy?" Wendy asked.

"I'm also curious about that," Lucy forced out through another contraction, "Don't forget I'm in labor!"

"I can use my magic to keep her stable, but I can't perform child birth," Wendy said, "I'm not a doctor!"

"Just do all you can," Natsu said, before bending down to his girlfriend, "Don't worry, I'm not going to leave your side." Lucy shook her head.

"No," she said, "You've got to save our friends."

"But…"

"Go get those bastards!" Natsu paused, before nodding firmly

"Don't worry, I'll be back for our kid's birth," he said, kissing her, "Keep an eye on the dragon, he may wake up at anytime." With that, he, Gray, and Juvia, all ran down the hall.

"By the way, you should know that Erza's fighting the other Erza down there," Gray said.

"TWO ERZAS!"

(down the hall)

Scarlet and Knightwalker crashed their weapons together again. Using her spear as a pole vault, Knightwalker sprung into the air, before kicking down at Scarlet, who blocked with her gauntlet, and pushed her off. She then swung up with her sword as Knightwalker brought down with her spear. The resounding force forced each other back. A knick appeared on both of their faces.

"Its an eerie feeling," Knightwalker said, wiping the blood away, "Fighting against myself."

"I'm not you," Scarlet said, "Don't even entertain the notion that either of us are similar."

"Well then, I'm the Commander of the Royal Second Division, Erza Knight…"

"I don't care," Scarlet interrupted, "All I need to know is that you were trying to hurt Lucy. That is more than enough to make you my enemy. But you were also trying to hurt a completely innocent baby. My obligation as a knight means that I must defeat you."

"You're a blunt woman," Knightwalker said, "I almost respect that. Keyword being 'almost'. Let's see if you have the skill to back it up." With that, her staff glowed, and began to reform itself.

"Taste the power of the Ten Commandments, forged from one of the teeth of Särakaotus itself! Sylpharion!" With that, the she sprung at Scarlet, slashing at her. Scarlet managed to deflect all the separate strikes.

"Not bad," she said, "Fine, I'll play your game, Flight Armor!" Re-quipping into speed based armor, she launched at Knightwalker, who barely had time to block the strike. She can change her armor? Knightwalker thought.

"Fascinating," she muttered, as she altered her spear again, "Mel Force!" She then sprung at Scarlet, crossing weapons with her again. However, this time, the force of strike blew Scarlet back.

"Her weapon changed!" Scarlet said.

"How observant!" Knightwalker said, "But observation isn't enough!" The weapon changed again, and when she brought it down, there was a massive explosion, that blew into another chamber. However, Scarlet re-quipped into her Flame Empress Armor.

"So you've got the power to alter both your armor and your weapon on command," Knightwalker noted.

"And you have the power to change your weapon's form," Scarlet said.

"The Ten Commandments does more than that," Knightwalker answered, "It can also increase my personal strength."

"It seems uncomfortably similar to my ability," Scarlet said, "That idea that you and I have something in common makes my stomach churn."

"You're way to serious about all of this," Knightwalker said, "Enjoy our duel. This is a once in a lifetime experience."

"The only thing I'm going to enjoy is knocking you to the ground," Scarlet said, as she took a battle stance.

"Do you really think you can defeat the Ten Commandments?"

"Last I checked, I wasn't fighting that spear, I was fighting you." With that, the two sprung at each other again, and clashed weapons. The resounding force blew them both back again. As Knightwalker was being thrown into the air, she repurposed her spear again.

"Gravity!" The spear then came down with immense force, so much so that it crushed the floor beneath their feet, with Scarlet only just managing to dodge.

"Sylpharion!" As Knightwalker darted past, Scarlet managed to barely dodge the strike by re-quipping into her Flight Armor again. After receiving the strike, she re-quipped into her Lightning Empress Armor, thrusting forward with her lighting halberd, sending a bolt of lightning towards them.

"Runesave!" Knightwalker literally cut the lightning, sending it away from her. Scarlet then sprung at her again, as they clashed weapons.

"Not bad," Knightwalker said, "Your armors are quite impressive."

"This weapon is also impressive," Scarlet said. She then summoned a sword into her other hand, and swung it at Knightwalker's throat, who leaned back.

"A compliment from you?" she sneered, "I thought that would be impossible."

"I complimented your weapon, not you," Scarlet said, "I thought I made it clear that I have no respect for those who would threaten a child's life!"

"Your idealism is making me nauseous," Knightwalker said.

(in the city)

Gajeel had been knocking out wave after wave of soldier, while Levy was questioning the still conscious guards. Though she hadn't been getting anything of value.

"Levy!" The blue head turned, and saw Happy flying towards.

"Happy?" Levy asked, "You're here too?"

"Its a long story," Happy said, "But we found out where the lacrima with the others is!" That was all Levy needed to here.

"Gajeel!" she called. Quick to respond, the Iron Dragon Slayer ran over. And once the three were all in a safe spot, Happy quickly summed up what happened, especially what had recently happened.

"Lucy's gone into labor!" Levy cried, "That's both wonderful and terrible!"

"Forget bunny girl, what about the dragon that's under the castle!" Gajeel said.

"Don't forget about the lacrima!" Happy said, "Gajeel can save everyone!"

"Alright!" Gajeel said, "Take me up there! I'll smash it to bits!"

"Where does that leave me?" Levy asked.

"There's a secret entrance into the palace," Happy explained, "Go to the east wall, and find a red brick! That's where it is!"

"The East Wall's probably really big place to look," Levy said, "I don't know if there's time to find it!"

"Sounds like a 'you problem'," Gajeel said, "Just go find bunny girl and her egg! Take me away cat!"

"Aye sir!" Happy said, before grabbing Gajeel and flying up.

"Stupid Gajeel!" Levy yelled.

(in the halls)

"Do we even know where we're going?" Gray asked.

"Juvia is following you," Juvia said.

"Hey, if we keep going down the halls we'll get somewhere, right?" Natsu said.

"If this place wasn't the size of Magnolia alone, I'd agree, but this place is freaking huge!" Gray said.

"Yes!" Juvia chimed in as she and the boys emerged into a large area, "Juvia wouldn't be surprised if there was an… amuse…ment… park." The group stopped cold, as they saw a massive…. amusement park, complete with roller coasters, water rides, merry-go rounds.

"Juvia was wrong."

(in the cavern)

Carla glanced at the unconscious dragon again. While it had been motionless all this time, she was still uneasy knowing such a tremendous monster was lying there. Wendy was using her magic on Lucy, who was now crying out rather loudly.

"How long is this going to take!" Lucy yelled, as she grabbed at her stomach, "Why won't this thing come out!"

"I'm sorry Lucy!" Wendy said, "But I don't know anything about childbirth! We need a real doctor!"

"Well I DON'T think any doctor is going to hep ME!" Lucy said, as she felt another surge of pain, "Not with what we've DONE! Do you think we COULD force one?"

"If we knew where to find a doctor, then maybe," Wendy answered, "But save your strength. You'll need it for the baby." Lucy just nodded, before clenching her teeth again. During all of this, Carla just watched. Wendy looked at her.

"Carla, what do you think we should do about Extalia?" she asked.

"What do you mean?"

"I agree WITH Wendy," Lucy said, "We can't LET Extalia be DESTROYED!"

"I liked Lucy's idea of forcing a doctor," Wendy said, "We can fly up and warn them!"

"No!" Both Wendy and Lucy were shocked at that.

"I don't care!" Carla said firmly, "We don't need to do anything for them! I don't care about he Exceeds! As far as I'm concerned, they deserve what's going to happen to them!"

"Don't talk like that!" Wendy scolded, "If we talk like that, then we become the same as the kingdom!"

"But…"

"This isn't a matter of human or Exceed," Wendy explained, "Its a matter of living creatures. And as Fairy Tail mages, we need to protect living creatures."

"I can't let my child be born on the heel of so many deaths," Lucy said, having managed to suppress her pain thanks to Wendy. Carla was silent. Marl and Lucky both came to mind. They were both completely decent Exceeds.

"Let's find a doctor to take care of Lucy!" Wendy said. With that Carla slowly nodded, and picked Lucy up. With that, they hurried down the hall.

During this, the dragon remained still. However, for a brief instance, a purple glow flashed across the top of its head.

Extalia….

Note: More will be explained further about what's going on. I've also got a plan with Lucy, since I needed to get both Wendy and Carla to Extalia somehow. And don't worry, we'll see the dragon soon enough.

I'm hoping to have major deviations from canon soon, but I want to showcase some of the Edolas characters.
