Notice: I was really worried when I sent out the previous chapter, Rogue's death probably confused many people, especially with the pairing. I gave my answer in the author's note at the very end of the chapter though, and that is all I will reveal for now, the rest you'll have to seek in the story. I see it worth it, and now I'll see how many can bear the pain and death of the characters and what Lucy will see in the future.

Anyways, I'd like to send out a thanks to BronzeDove, their comment really helped me relax. I was a bit worried on what would be the first reaction, but that comment really helped me continue the story faster than I planned. So, here's the next chapter.

One more thing though, I'm going to be adding in some lyrics for Lucy, something that describes what she's going through. If anyone has some suggestions, feel free to leave it in a comment or PM me.

Kira lost her laugh and smile, and instead frowned at her opponent. "I do not understand you, Lucy of the lost souls. Why live for the ones who hurt you the most? Why fight for them when they're already dead?" She asked her peculiar opponent.

"Because they're spirits will always remain in my heart, no matter how much darkness has seeped into it." Lucy responds to the Leviathan.

"Then I'll just have to take your heart to make you understand that your fighting on the wrong side." Kira tells her, hands turned to fists as she smashes them together, before popping them loudly.

"There will always be a wrong side if there is more than one. Everyone lives for their own reasons, and no matter what I want to believe, Fairy Tail will always be my spirit to fight for." Lucy tells her, rolling her shoulders that resound in their own pops as well.

Kira grins, and returns to her hand to hand combat stance while Lucy remains in her own. The two just stare at one another a moment longer before Lucy speaks a final time before they fight. "What is this magic called anyways?" She asks her enemy, who raises an eyebrow to her question but answers anyway.

"It's a lost magic. Your title is Lucy of the lost souls because your soul is truly erased of emotions. The magic is called Soul, because that is all that's left that makes us who we are." Kira tells her, in which Lucy responds with a nod before saying, "Well that sounds a lot better than Titania Lucy." Kira snorts at this, and the two meet eyes for a final moment of understanding.

And then, they launch at each other.

The last battle of the war has begun, and there is no telling where this will go for the two. Though one must remember, everything does not continue the way it seems in many eyes.

Instead of waiting this time, Kira was the one to make the first move of attack. Leaping towards Lucy in Mirajane rating speed, she aims an uppercut on Lucy which was barely blocked by the use of her forearm. Kira sweeps her leg upwards, forcing Lucy to use the blunt of Rogue's blade to block it, and suddenly goes offensive by grabbing Kira's wrists and flipping over her.

Kira twirls around and brings a constant attack of kicks and punches, each land not impacting long enough to be caught once again, but to sudden for Lucy to block. Fortunately for her, the pain signals do not work and so Lucy is left unbothered and stagger-free by Kira's attacks. Though there would be bruises later if she survives this.

Lucy picks up her speed to match Kira's normal by pushing her aura into her limbs. The two slowly begin to rise in speed with every attack becoming nothing more than a blur if anyone where to see the battle. With every step back on the defensive side they move closer and closer away from the field until they reach the forest. Though by then Lucy used the trees to her advantage and leapt up unto a branch, unto another and another as she dodges the attacks and slowly rises thirty feet from the ground, with Kira right on her heels.

Soon Lucy sees another field clearing ahead, but this one had a river and more trees, yet enough battle ground to fight on. However she could not pursue the path further once Kira took advantage of her space into thoughts away from the battle and grabbed her shoulder before throwing her to the ground.

Lucy flips over and summons her black surf before she hit the ground, and barely got the katana up in time to block Kira's incoming foot. Lucy pushed her strength into the friction that Kira was putting into the sword, and threw her off of her.

Kira landed on the ground not too far from her, and Lucy deactivated her surf board. Her feet now back to the ground, she raises the katana blade towards Kira before rushing at her. At the first swing Kira ducked and flipped unto her back attempting a front kick to her face. Lucy ducked before barreling forward with her sword aimed for Kira's stomach, but did not come intact with her stomach but instead her hand, in which was now holding the blade in a way that prevented the blade from breaking her skin.

Kira suddenly pulled Lucy forward causing her to fly over her since she had not released the sword. Kira smirked before ramming her heel into Lucy's abdomen throwing her up higher into the air, where she then continued to grab her by the jacket and slammed her into the closest tree.

Once again Lucy felt no pain to way her down, though her hand was less responsive to her demands she could still get up immediately without fault to charge at Kira again, who dodged every strike and stab attack. Finally Lucy grew annoyed by her novice use of the sword and stabbed the blade into the ground, knowing if she continued to use it with her inexperience in the technique she would no doubt lose the battle against Kira that Rogue had put his faith into her for.

Kira quickly throws another side-swing fist at Lucy, who just barely rolls out of the way in time. Kira sprinted at her again, and slammed both elbows downwards on Lucy who shields her attack just in time but is still pushed back from the amount of force used in the attack. Kira leaps into the air and attempts three side-kicks to Lucy, who blocks one, dodges another, but the finally one hits and she stumbles backwards too close to the ledge of the river.

Using Lucy's position to her advantage, Kira, her a finally time in the stomach causing Lucy to stumble at the edge and just barely manages to flip herself over the river though it was doubtful she would make it to the other side. Kira saved her from falling in though, by leaping over the blonde and slamming her fist into Lucy's chin in the perfect angle to send her sprawling unto the other side, unfortunately disoriented.

Kira landed a few feet ahead of Lucy and planned to make another attack on her but was prevented by Lucy's quick recover and movements in pulling out her rifle that was still strapped to her back and firing three red bullets at Kira. Kira evaded them but was forced further away from her opponent, giving Lucy the advantage.

The previously red bullets exploded in the distance from wherever and whatever they had impacted to as Lucy shot off six more bullets but this time made from her green bullets. Kira flips over them with master flexibility before finishing off her movements with an elegant and perfectly balance handstand. She was also right in front of Lucy, and before she could even think of anything Kira had swept Lucy's legs out from beneath her before slamming her left fist into her stomach, leaving Lucy to a harsh landing that she could not feel. However her body felt it, and was slightly paralyzed for a second by the movement, and hadn't given Lucy enough time to see Kira's heel slam into her abdomen.

The sheer force that was plowed into the side of her abdomen caused her to fly into the air and roll to the ledge of the river once more, though this time she had enough time to fire a final shot at Kira before dropping the gun as she fell into the water, saving the rifle from a watery grave.

Lucy however was not so fortunate and by instinct as she attempted to immediately leap out of the river, two hands had grabbed her shoulders and pushed her further beneath the river. Lucy struggled, her hands clawing at the ledge and getting mud underneath her fingernails. She could not feel the burning sensation in her neck as her body begged for oxygen but she certainly got the message when her vision began to dot in black.

She forced herself to calm and instead turned her focus on her aura to build up in her throat. Lucy's eyes flashed black as she let out a roar that sent a black spiraling vortex above the water and towards Kira who had barely pulled away in time, freeing Lucy from her grasp and immediately leapt on the ledge, clawing her nails into the dirt before immediately pulling herself free from the water. Looking up she saw the last of her roar disappearing and a shielded Kira who had put her white aura into her forearms to shield herself from the attack, though her arms now bear some dark bruises.

Kira's charcoal shaded eyes bled crimson red while Lucy's had now faded into an abyss black. A thick white cloak enveloped over Kira's skin and Lucy soon had her own bloody-red cloak flaming off her skin as well.

The two grinned before Kira spoke, "It's cool having the same magic, because now I can see if I'm truly the strongest of the emotionless!" She laughed, before running at Lucy with her blood-thirsty and eager eyes. Long eight inch white claws formed off her nails from her aura before she slashed her claws on Lucy, who leaped back but still got a light graze from the attack. Her jacket torn through by the claws but not enough to reach her shirt.

Lucy smirked and allowed her aura to take on a similar form to Kira's claws, but with the claws being a vibrant red that glowed against the ghostly white as the two claws clashed against each other. The two moved in equal movements but at different angles, and at every collision it became a battle of strength. Sparks flung off the impact of the claws meeting one another like a blacksmith hammering down on molten iron.

Lucy then took it to the next step and formed talons on her feet before launching a side-step attack on Kira, who back-flipped out of range and formed talons as well. The two collided again, their movements once again become a blur to the naked eye as they danced across the field, the water that had once soaked into Lucy's clothing had dried from the speed of their movement.

By the time the two had jumped away from each other they were both covered in claw marks, though Lucy had the worse of it. Kira noticed this as well and smirked. "It's one thing to have the power, but it's another thing to have the experience which you lack in. I believe you already know who will win this battle. Give up, and join me or I dump your bleeding corpse into the river." Kira told her.

Lucy did not falter though in a response. "I'm not dead yet though, so why should I? I will defeat you, no matter how much of my blood it takes, and I will never surrender myself to you." Lucy said, before building her magic into her claws and raised them above her head before slashing downwards, creating a lunar arc of her magic energy come crashing against Kira.

Kira was thrown back by the sudden attack and had a few drops of blood leaking from her mouth from the blow but she quickly wiped the blood from her mouth and stood. "Alright, looks like I'm going to have to get a little more serious now." She told Lucy, and retracted her claws back into her aura. She then formed a white and black orb in her hands. She suddenly combined the two causing a shock-wave before chucking the ball at Lucy like a softball. Lucy barely had enough time to dive forward, but wasn't aware of how close she was to the tree that was a few feet behind her. When the orb impacted the tree, Lucy was sent flying off her feet forward and landed far off. The tree then creaked and slowly began to fall in the path where Lucy lay causing her to scramble to her feet and just barely dive out of the way once again.

However she had no time to evade a third time when Kira grabbed her by the throat and lifted her into the air, cutting off her oxygen supply. "Don't worry, I won't kill you yet." Kira told her, just as Lucy felt her brain fuzz from the lack of oxygen. Kira tossed her to the side and disappeared from Lucy's view, and right as she was just regaining feeling in her body she felt the tip of a blade pointed at her neck.

Lucy looked up and was met with Kira's smirking form holding Rogue's katana to her throat. "I'm going to show you that you are exactly like me, and then maybe you will accept my offer in joining my campaign." Kira told her, and moved the sword away from her neck and down her torso, until it was right at her stomach but aimed away from the organs.

If she pushed the sword in it would be very painful but not too devastating for the body as long as she wouldn't bleed out. Soon enough Kira was about to push the deadly blade into Lucy's flesh only to have a blazing black sword swipe at her blindly.

Kira leapt back and saw that Lucy had created a black sword out of her aura that was attached to her right hand that appeared to be connected by black chains wrapping around her entire right arm also made from her aura. Lucy created a second blade in her left hand, exactly the same apart from the fact that this blade was entirely red, crimson red to be precise.

Kira smirked and tossed Rogue's katana into the river carelessly before allowing a new weapon to form in her hands. When the glowing blue light faded, twin scythes were revealed in her hands. Held like war-axes yet shaped and as deadly as a reaper's scythe.

Kira and Lucy launched at each other both at the same time, both duel wielding but Kira was a little more wild with her weapon as she swung the scythes at her as she twirled the chain. Lucy couldn't even get close enough with the rapidly swinging scythes protecting Kira like a wind barrier.

Lucy decided to just screw it all, it wasn't like she would feel the pain anyways and charged at Kira. One of the scythes got a good grazing cut on her left shoulder as she dove through the gap of the scythes and narrowly evaded a serious injury from the other scythe as it swung upwards and just barely cut a thin line at the bottom of her chin but otherwise she had made it to Kira and immediately raised both blades forward and upwards.

Kira being the clever enemy brought her hands together thus causing the two scythes to go inwards directly to where Lucy stood. Lucy realized this right before the two scythes sunk into her back, just barely missing her spine, and instead imbedded themselves deep inside Lucy and appeared like tiny wings sticking out from her back.

Blood spurt from Lucy's mouth as she fell to her knees, her body not responding to her and her back felt stiff somehow. Lucy tried to move but the attempt was a failure. Kira kneeled in front of the wounded teenager and yanked out the scythes by the chains, causing her body to move forward from the movement and soon found herself on her stomach as her eyes gazed up to meet Kira's crimson eyes while she flicked her tongue against one of her scythes and tastes her blood.

"Mmm, I wonder if it's our magic that makes our blood taste so rich?" Kira questions aloud, grinning as Lucy let's out another cough of blood that splash the ground in her crimson blood. Kira tilts Lucy's chin up so her eyes are on her own. Lucy would struggle but her body wouldn't listen to her demands, leaving her at Kira's 'mercy'.

"They don't call me the Bloody Angel for nothing, although no one has lived to tell what makes it really live up to the name. Just a taste of your blood and I have become resistant to your magic and have added your strength to my own. You are now at my mercy and nothing you do can defeat me now!" Kira laughs in victory and let's go of her hold on Lucy allowing her form to slouch over more, the blood staining her jacket and shirt.

"Allow me to show you the true sight of the Bloody Angel!" Kira shouts, and channels her aura out fully causing her white aura to arch into the sky like a rocket launching off. Lucy watches as her blood on the scythes literally lift into the air before sinking into Kira's skin.

"Black Arts: Blood-link!" Kira shouts, before the white aura slowly dyes in her blood and covers her form entirely. When the aura begins to fade, Lucy is met with a terrifying sight if she could feel fear. Yet even without such emotions she could only stare at the form before her.

In front of her Kira looked exactly the same as before, the difference were the huge glass wings protruding out from her back, the glass was colored red, yet looked far from shatter-able as they moved slightly. The wings were a good thirty feet long, appearing as though it should tip Kira's form over from the height, yet if anything Kira was an anchor weighing it down.

Kira then lurched forward in a burst of speed, grabbing the wounded and bloody Lucy by the neck before throwing her into a tree in which her back collides harshly into, not helping her back wound at all. Lucy tries to stand but her body wouldn't listen to her, she tried to at least move her hands yet in every movement caused her consciousness to black for a second and a spurt of blood to erupt from her mouth.

Suddenly Lucy was lifted up once again though, her black eyes meeting Kira's crimson ones. She couldn't even get a word out before she felt something dig into the base of her palm and through it. She tried to move the arm of the palm but found that hand pinned to the tree. She felt Kira sink another red dagger formed by Lucy's own blood into her other palm and knew what Kira was doing to her.

She was pinning her to the tree.

Next came two longer daggers into her ankles, and she couldn't even get her limbs to twitch, but she could move her head. Looking straight ahead she tried to at least push herself forward even when her vision blacked out again, but was stopped when she felt a fifth dagger enter her abdomen.

Looking down she saw the hilt of the dagger sticking out, telling her that further movement meant more daggers in her body. Lucy breathed in a breath and met the eyes of the smirking Kira, who stood in front of Lucy with daggers floating around her. There could have been a hundred of those daggers, and all of them were formed of her blood.

"You see these are blood daggers, and no matter how hard you try, you cannot remove them because they are made of your own protection barriers in your blood. The moment you try to pull away it will just snap you back in place." Kira told her, tabbing the grip of the hilt of the dagger in her abdomen.

In return, she got a blood spurt to her face. Kira only smirked though and wiped the blood on her finger before sucking the blood off. "Mmm, your blood only makes me stronger Lucy."

She got a growl in response from the blood. Kira smirked and summoned a crimson sword into her hand, and began to lightly trail the tip of the sword along Lucy's body, light enough that she received no harm, yet in the slightest movement she would find herself cut by the blade of her own blood. "Ever wonder what it would be like to be pierced by your own blood?" Kira asked her, as she settled on Lucy's right arm, right below the shoulder.

Lucy tried not to notice and instead stared straight ahead. "Ever wonder why you became a physco?"

Kira just smiled before she dug the blade into the very top layer of her skin. "What the hell are you doing now, bitch?!" Lucy demanded, feeling the blade sink all the way through a centimeter of her flesh. She had a sinking feeling in her stomach on the excited look in the Bloody Angel's eyes and even though she had no emotions she knew she would be feeling worried if she could.

"Separating your soul from the flesh."

Ah, here we are. Closer to where I've been wanting to get to for the past couple of months and we're almost there now.

This was a pretty quick and simple chapter, but it will get real exciting in the next chapter and so forth after that.

I'll try to get the next update out on the weekend.

Sincerely,

The Reaping Wolf
