Chapter 7
It had been a week since Kalex had declared war on Fairy tail, the guild had managed to set up barriers and get residents out of where most of the fighting would take place. Every member of the guild was on standby, waiting around the town in teams.
"is everyone in place?" Erza asked over telepathy from the guild
"team shadow gear here" Gajeel said as he sat on a roof with Jet, Droy and Lily
"the Strauss sibling here" Mira said as she stood by the town entrance with Elfman and Lisanna
The other teams checked in from their posts around the town, "be careful everyone, the enemy we face is very dangerous" Erza told everyone before letting out a heavy sigh
"don't worry Erza we'll beat these punks like we beat everyone else" Gray said as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder
"YEAH THESE FOOLS HAVE NOTHING ON FAIRY TAIL" Lucy shouted trying to lighten the mood
"yeah I believe we can win as well Lucy" Wendy started to laugh
Back at the town entrance Mira spotted two figures walking in to town, one was Kalex and the other was the hooded Helios, "I have spotted Kalex and one of his guild mates" Mira said over telepathy, "we'll hold them here till you can send some reinforcements"
All three of the Strauss siblings walked out and blocked the two mages paths, "you will not go any further" Mira said as she equipped her satan soul
"well you must be the Strauss siblings; you must be the devilishly sexy Mirajane, the ultra-manly Elfman and the youngest of the bunch little Lisanna" Kalex pointed his scythe at them as he listed them off, "I prefer to not fight beautiful women so Helios I'll leave the ladies to you"
"yeah like we give a cra…" Elfman was interrupted when with one swing Kalex threw him down the road
"ELFMAN!" Lisanna called out and attempted to run to her brother but her path was blocked by Helios, "sis get to Elfman I'll deal with this guy"
Mirajane ran to Elfman, who was still on the ground, but Kalex stood in her way , "it seems Helios is still so reckless, I guess I'll have to deal with you"
"out of my way" Mira said threateningly as she gathered dark energy between her palms
Kalex stood in place daring her to attack and she did, Mira fired the sphere of energy at Kalex, "sever, slicing dragonfly" Kalex swung his scythe, Mirajane's attack was sliced in half and she was thrown to the ground as her satan soul disappeared
"how?" she asked as she stood to fight again
"this fight is over now" Kalex appeared in front of Mira as she stood up and threw her in to a building
"MIRA!" Lisanna shouted, she stopped defending against Helios for a second and he took her out with his black flames
"I'm sorry Erza" Mira watched as the two walked away before everything went black
The two walked further in to the town until they were stopped when Gajeel and the rest of his team dropped down and surrounded them, "seems like we got 'ya" Gajeel said with smirk
"you take rivet face I'll deal with the others" Kalex charged towards Jet and Droy as Helios charged Gajeel
The flame slayer threw his burning black fists at the iron dragon as he dodged the swings, "iron dragon scales" Gajeel covered his body in iron as he got ready to strike back, "now let's do this"
The two exchanged blows but Helios seemed to be the faster on and was easily able to dodge Gajeel's attacks. The iron dragon slayer was taking more damage than he was dealing out, Helios kept hitting him with his flame fists as Gajeel used his scales to defend himself. Gajeel hid behind his arms as Helios pushed him back with a relentless barrage of fire attacks, "these flame are hotter than anything salamander made" Gajeel commented as he tried to find an opening to attack
Helios put everything behind one last punch, "flame gods divine hammer" he punched through Gajeel's defence and shattered his iron scales, throwing the dragon slayer back
"well that was surprise" Gajeel said as the scales fell off his body, he turned his arms in to blades and charged at the flame slayer
"flame god bellow" Helios let out a torrent of black flames as Gajeel was thrown
"sorry I failed Le" Gajeel only managed to say that before he became unconscious
Erza shook with rage, some of their best mages have been taken out like they were nothing, "everyone stay here I'm going to end this" Erza walked off to battle ignoring everyone's concerns
The two slayers walked through the empty town after defeating a few more Fairy tail mages, "why do I still have to wear this stupid thing?" Helios asked mentioning to the cloak
"so the reveal is more dramatic" Kalex told him
"I really hate….." Helios was interrupted by Erza appearing round a corner
"go on ahead Helios this is my fight" Kalex walked towards Erza as Helios took another route to the guild, "this is the end Lady Erza, I'm gonna win our little bet"
"like I'll let that happen" Erza requipped in to her heaven's wheel armour as she sent her multiple blade towards Kalex
"you know this won't work" Kalex said as he blocked and dodged every sword
Erza charged at him in an attempt to overwhelm his defences but he kept up his rock solid defence, "your defence is much tighter than last time" Erza commented as she kept trying to break through, "you've been training"
"and so have you Lady Erza" Kalex broke his defence and moved in for a strike on Erza , she managed to break off her attack and jump back just in time
"quite sneaky of you but my training shall prove fruitful and I will defat you" Erza got ready to attack again
"just because you believe and hope and pray doesn't mean anything will change only power matters and I will show you my power" Kalex swung his scythe, "now shatter, armour piercer"
Erza's armour and weapons were completely shattered and she was left wearing regular clothes, "what is this?" she asked surprised her armour would break so easily
"I developed than move just for you" Kalex got in to an attack stance, "now requip again I'll shatter everything you've got even your hope"
Erza requipped in to her adamantine armor, "you will not break this" she declared as she raised her shields and charged at Kalex
"shatter, armour piercer" with a swing of his scythe Erza's armour was shattered, "try again"
Erza tried several different armours but each of them were shattered one after the other, "if we keep this up you'll have nothing to wear" Kalex laughed as he prepared to attack again, "not that I would mind that"
"fine then no more armour" Erza requipped in to her clear heart clothes as she pointed her Katana at Kalex, "no more hiding I will strike you down"
"shatter, armour piercer" Kalex swung his Scythe and Erza's clothes and weapons were shattered
"how?" Erza asked herself unable to believe what just happened
"I am just on another level" Kalex swung his scythe and Erza was thrown down the street, "just give up and let me win, this is getting boring"
"no I will keep getting up no matter how many times you knock me down because THAT IS THE FAIRY TAIL WAY" Erza pushed herself up with more determination than ever, she requipped one last time and when the light faded she wore her nakagami armour, "I will defeat you no matter what it takes"
"you never learn now shatter, armour piercer" Kalex swung his scythe but his spell had no effect on her armour, "what the hell"
He tried it a few more times as Erza charged towards him, "NAKAGAMI STARLIGHT" Erza struck him with her halberd and sent the dark mage flying through the air and crashing to the ground as well as completely destroying his scythe, Erza walked away from the body to go deal with his friend.
"do you remember our bet Lady Erza" Erza turned around to see a beat up Kalex stand up
"your scythe is destroyed you can't use your slasher magic just give up" Erza faced the dark mage in a stare off
"no way I want the prize from our little bet more than anything" Kalex stood, refusing to give up
"then I guess I'll have to knock you down" Erza charged at Kalex and swung her halberd
Kalex raised his hand and stopped the blade dead, "with his bare hand" Erza muttered as she noticed lightning crawling over his hand
"I guess I'll have to get serious" Kalex punched Erza in her gut with a lightning charged fist and threw her back
"how?" Erza asked as she felt fear creeping up on her
"now tell me Lady Erza do you remember out bet" Lightning covered all of Kalex's body as he advanced on Erza, "I remember the loser will give their life to the victor"
"I will never give you anything" Erza charged the lightning slayer and aimed for his heart as she attempted to spear him
Kalex grabbed the blade and held it inches from his chest as he looked down on Erza as she struggled, "I will force you to submit, demonic lightning dragon god roar" a torrent of black and gold lightning sent Erza flying as her nakagami armour disappeared
Erza stood up again, only able to summon one sword, she stood strong as Kalex appeared in front of her. He looked like a menacing giant, looking down on her, and Erza could hear her sword rattle as her hands shook. She raised her sword for one final strike but before she could bring it down Kalex slammed her head in to the ground, "just give up" Kalex stomped her head further in to the ground as she tried to reach out and grab him, he kept at it until her arm went limp and she was out cold.
