Chapter 6
Over the last 6 months Erza had trained harder than she ever had in her life. She increased her speed and reflexes as well devising every strategy she could to defeat her arch enemy. Gray, Juvia, Wendy and Lucy also trained just as hard so they could back her up against Kalex's team mates.
Across Fiore Natsu destroyed trees with his black flames, "well you have officially mastered god slayer magic" Kalex said as he watched Natsu destroy the trees
"you want to see how much?" Natsu said challenging the lightning slayer
"wouldn't you rather hunt some fairies?" Kalex asked
"I'm getting fired up now" Natsu lit his fist with black flames, "let's go right now"
"wait" Kalex stopped the pink head in his tracks, "half the fun of taking on a guild is making sure they are prepared"
"so what do we do?" Natsu asked
"just wait here and let a pro deal with this part" Kalex walked off before shouting back, "I will come get you when it's done"
Natsu sighed as he turned away from the lightning slayer and went back to his training.
Little Levy McGarden was stumbling through the streets of Magnolia carrying a stack of books as tall as her, "not too far to the donation point" she thought as she continued to struggle with the weight and not being able to see. She had taken a few more strained steps when she bumped in to someone and she fell to the ground along with her books.
"sorry" the stranger kneeled down and started to pick up her books, "wow an in-depth history of Ishgarian guilds, I didn't think anyone else had read this"
"yeah I found it really interesting" Levy said as she started picking up books
"so where are you going in such a rush with so many books?" the stranger asked
"I'm going to donate them to a charity that helps kids learn to read and hands out books" she told him
"how about I help you donate these books and then we can talk about Ishgarian guilds over some lunch" Levy looked at the smiling stranger for the first time, he was tall and handsome with spikey blond hair and his clothes seemed to be expensive
"well if you're paying then I suppose I can't say no" Levy walked ahead, now being able to manage the considerably lighter load
The two had a nice conversation about guilds over lunch at a small café, they were there for just over an hour. The stranger walked with Levy as they left the café, "how about we go back to your place for something more fun that talking" he said in a suggestive voice
"oh no I don't think so" Levy said blushing as she fumbled over words, "it's not you it's just there is someone else"
"shame I guess that's the way it is" he said as he rubbed the back of his neck
"anyway I don't think I got your name, I'm Levy" she introduced herself
"I'm Kalex" he said with a smile, "how about I just escort you home then"
"I'm fine with that" Levy said walking ahead not seeing the sinister grin on Kalex's face as he followed her
The next day Jet and Droy looked up at the great tree, in south gate park, in horror. They were frozen in shock as Erza pushed them aside to get a look at what had caused such a commotion, she also froze in shock when she saw it, Levy was beaten up and tied to the tree with the words "all paths lead to the reaper" painted above her.
"KALEX!" Erza screamed as she let her anger get the best of her, "I will destroy you"
Erza cut her down and ,along with Jet and Droy, they carried her back to the guild. While she was in the back resting everyone else in the guild was in the hall, silent after hearing the news, "so who did this?" Gajeel asked looking more pissed off than anyone
"a dark guild I have a rivalry with" Erza said
"it was my idea to tie her to the tree" Everyone looked up to see Riki sitting over the bar
"so you did this" Gajeel stood up ready to fight
"calm down I didn't do a thing" Riki said
"that was all me" everyone looked to the doors to see Kalex standing there
"Kalex" Erza growled as she summoned her sword
"wow calm down Lady Erza I didn't come here to fight"
"then what did you come here for?" Makarov asked, barely keeping his anger in check
"to tell you than me and my apprentice are going to destroy Fairy tail in one week" Kalex walked out of the guild without another word and Riki seemed to have disappeared
"those bastards" Gajeel slammed his fist on the table
"if they want to fight Fairy tail then we'll give them Fairy tail" Makarov shouted along with the entire guild, "WE'LL SHOW THESE DARK GUILD PUNKS THAT FAIRY TAIL ISN'T A GUILD YOU MESS WITH"
