A/N: And I'm back. No random weird and creepy speeches for today. Anyway, I'm happy that everyone likes the previous chapter, as many reviewers pointed out, the fight scene is totally based from a Gintama fight scenes, the battle scenes in Gintama was for more entertaining than any other animes, no powers, no special effects just pure strength and sword bashing goodness, which is why I enjoyed writing the previous chapter. This chapter, not so much, but I hope you guys still like it.

For those who don't know Gintama, it's main character is Gintoki Sakata aka Ginpachi-sensei. If Gintoki and Black Rock Shooter ever collided, it's Gintoki who will come out victorious, just watch his numerous fights and you'll see why I said that.

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.

Harle Kingdom

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, GET YOURSELVES READY BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER FIGHT, RIGHT HERE! RIGHT NOW!" Eddy announced through his megaphone as everyone roared in cheers. He and Dr. Kenjirou came just in time, the moment Ikaruga showed herself to Erza, Setsuna and Konoka.

Ikaruga giggled, "That is some interesting way to cover up our fight, however, you're friend's fight against Tsukuyomi may fooled everyone but our fight will be different." she claimed.

Erza got into position, "We'll see about that. I've defeated you once before, and I could do it again." she declared in determination.

Ikaruga giggles again, "Ara~ Still confident as ever." she said.

"Don't get over your head Erza!" Dr, Kenjirou called out, "You're overconfidence is the reason why Taskmaster defeated you before!'' he remembered.

Erza flinched and blushed at the memory, "Sorry about that doctor." she replied in embarrassment.

"Taskmaster?'' Konoka asked tilting her head.

"A former enemy of ours.'' Erza replied as a sigh.

"Ojou-sama, please go somewhere safe. Erza-dono and I will take her on." Setsuna declared.

Erza turns to Setsuna, "Are you sure about this, Setsuna? Ikaruga is on a different level than most of anyone that you fought so far.'' she reminded.

"I'm aware. But like a friend said, 'you won't know unless you try'.'' Setsuna replied in determination.

Erza gave her a smile, "All right. Then let's do this.'' she said.

"Good-luck you two and be careful." Konoka replied as she ran to safety as a crowd began to form from the sidewalks.

Among the crowd are Kaede Nagase, Mana Tatsumiya, Houki Shinonono and a young male. The male is fairly tall young man with short, spiky black hair and large brown eyes. He is currently wearing a red high-collared vest over a peach t-shirt with orange outlines, black pants and gray sneakers. This is Takeshi Yamamoto.

"Sugoi! I'm really enjoying this festival, the fighting events are really amazing!'' Takeshi claimed with a smile of excitement.

Houki let out a sigh, "We manage to fool the crowd but it also manage to fool this guy.'' she said. She is currently wearing a white long-sleeve shirt with red tie underneath a dark dress, black stockings and red shoes.

"Fooling aside, just how strong is this Ikaruga?'' Mana asked. She is wearing her black leather jacket over a white top, black pants and brown boots.

"We don't know about her that much but according to Erza, Ikaruga is one of her toughest opponents." Takeshi answered with a smile.

"If I remember correctly, Ikaruga knows Sword magic as well, she can perform various swords spells that can break Erza's powerful armor.'' Houki added.

"That means, this Ikaruga, is far more stronger than Tsukuyomi, Setsuna-dono better watch out - de gozaru.'' Kaede pointed out. Kaede is currently wearing her school uniform.

"ALL RIGHT! THE COMBATANTS ARE SET, LET'S END YOU'RE WAITING ONCE AND FOR ALL, BECAUSE IT'S TIME FOR A BATTLE!" Eddy announced as the crowd abrupt in cheers.

Erza & Setsuna vs Ikaruga

"Setsuna have you ever though of getting married?'' Erza asked.

"What are you asking at a time like this? We had a fight goin' on!" Setsuna retorted.

FIGHT!

(Play ft by funkist)

"Requip!" Erza shouted as she transform into one of her armors, the Heaven's Wheel Armor.

Ikaruga grinned, "So you're starting with your Heaven's Wheel Armor, you know that didn't worked last time.'' she claimed.

"Things are different this time around!'' Erza claimed as she summoned a large amount of swords floating in the air, she then uses telekinesis to raise her swords high before launching it towards Ikaruga.

Ikaruga smiled, "Still the same..." she said as the swords got close to her before swiftly drawing out her blade, "... so does the results.'' she said as each swords were shattered to pieces.

Then suddenly Setsuna appeared behind her and quickly swung down her sword, "Graaaghh!'' she roared but only to find out that her target simply blocks her sword with her bare hand much to her disbelief, "How?'' she asked.

"I've seen through your tactics, Erza would provide distraction then you would strike.'' Ikaruga stated before grabbing Setsuna by the collar, "But that isn't enough!'' she exclaimed before slamming Setsuna down on the ground, Setsuna bounces up before receiving a massive kick from Ikaruga which sends her skidding on the streets.

Erza charges forward and swung her sword but Ikaruga swiftly dodges her attack, "Yasha's Empty Flash.'' she chanted, then suddenly Erza's entire armor were destroyed before following it by a kick to Erza's stomach which sends her flying back but the redhead managed to land on her feet while clutching her stomach.

"Yasha's Empty Flash... a technique that shatters everything without touching her blade...'' Houki commented from the sides.

"The fight just started but she already got them in a pinch.'' Mana stated.

"Don't give up, you two!'' Takeshi cheered.

"It's nice being so optimistic - de gozaru.'' Kaede said with her arms crossed.

Erza quickly transforms into another armor as Setsuna got up and charges again, "Raimaken!'' she yelled as she charges her sword with electricity, she swung her sword down at Ikaruga only for her to block it with her sword, upon impact, her attack caused a giant lightning explosion followed by a smoke, "Did I get her?" she thought out loud, when the smokes clears out to find out that Ikaruga was unscathed, much to her shock.

"Interesting move... but it's not good enough to take me down.'' Ikaruga said before grabbing Setsuna once again by the collar before slamming her repeatedly on the ground before throwing her to the sides.

Meanwhile, in one cafe, we see Buggy the Clown, Guts and Kurome in one table while right next to them are two cloaked individuals, when suddenly the clown's back went rigid as he looks up with narrowed eyes.

"What's up clown?'' Guts asked. He's currently wearing his usual armor.

"I don't know... but my danger senses are telling me that we should move out of the way.'' Buggy replied. He's currently wearing his usual attire.

Guts and Kurome stares at him for a minute, before quickly grabbing their foods and drinks, moving out of the way just in time for Setsuna to crash at their table.

"Told you.'' Buggy said with a blank look.

"And we don't doubt it.'' Guts replied as Kurome took a bite of her cake.

Back in the fight, Erza is now on her Flame Empress Armor. Her armor is predominantly dark red in color, but also has orange and black parts, with the orange parts being shaped like flames and the other parts being reminiscent of Dragon's limbs. It consists of the following parts: the breastplate, the gauntlets and the greaves. The breastplate lacks pauldrons, revealing her shoulders, and extends down to cover her groin, revealing her legs and, in a way, being reminiscent of a one piece swimming suit, with an orange part covering her breasts and another one circling her waist like a belt. The black parts are mostly decorative, with the exception of the one covering her groin. The breastplate also possesses a pair of Dragon-like wings attached to it. The gauntlets sport prominent orange decorations, along with small claw-like protrusions on the hands. The greaves are shaped like Dragon's claws which possess orange-colored knee guards and black parts which extend up from the knees to the upper part of the thighs. In addition to all of this, while donning this outfit, her hair is tied into a pair of high, long pigtails by clips, resembling Dragon's horns in some way.

Ikaruga turns to her with a grin, "Ara~ it's the Flame Empress Armor this time.'' she mused.

"What happened earlier won't happen again!" Erza declared as she charges forward engulfing her swords in flames before bringing it down on Ikaruga whom responded by drawing out her blade quickly colliding with Erza's weapon, "Not done yet!'' the redhead yelled as she begun to trade blows with Ikaruga whom only withstand her attacks.

Ikaruga took a few steps back, "Garuda's Flame!" she chanted as she swung her fire-coated sword as she charges forward, Erza brought down her sword only to miss as Ikaruga slices her armor, the attack has the same properties as Yasha's Empty Flash, which caused Erza's Flame Empress Armor to be destroyed.

"No way!" Houki gasped in shock, "She destroyed Erza's Flame Empress Armor!'' she exclaimed.

"That Yasha's Empty Flash is real problem to deal with.'' Mana commented.

Erza once again used Requip to change into another armor, the Purgatory Armor. Taking on the appearance of a metallic dress, the armor is a dark slate color with a lighter gray trim. The shoulder guards are a light gray color with a large spike protruding off of it. The arm guards bear a simple weaving pattern with three spikes jutting out, each smaller than the last. The leg greaves start just below her hips with three progressively smaller spikes protruding starting at the knees. Around her neck is a small necklace of black, diamond shaped jewels. A single horn works its way out from underneath her hair atop her head.

Takeshi whistles, "There it is! Her Purgatory Armor!'' he stated.

"Her strongest armor that no one has lived to tell the tale!'' Houki added as Erza and Ikaruga charges at each other.

Meanwhile, Setsuna slowly got up from the wrecked table as Buggy handed her a bottle of Pocari Sweat.

"You got to play your cards if you want to beat that woman, Erza is already using her Strongest Armor but it's also proven to be ineffective.'' Buggy said.

Setsuna gladly took the bottle and drinks it, "Ah... I know... guess I had to use my Pactio on this one.''she declared.

"Whatever that is, you should use it now.'' Buggy stated.

Back in the fight, Ikaruga once again was able to destroy Erza's armor sending the redhead skidding down the streets.

"No way! Even her Purgatory Armor is destroyed!'' Houki gasped once again.

"Is there's any armor that she had that won't get affected by her technique - de gozaru?'' Kaede asked, she's almost loosing her cool while watching the fight.

Takeshi smiled, "There's one! And you'll be surprise by it.'' he stated.

Ikaruga let out a sigh, "This is sad... is the full extent of you're abilities, is this how much you improved this years.'' she mocked. Suddenly, Setsuna ran back and got in front of her her, "Ara~ you're back, I thought you're already done.'' she said.

"I'm not done yet! I still have more tricks up my sleeve!'' Setsuna declared when suddenly her back sprouted two large albino wings, much to everyone's surprise.

"Setsuna is in her Hanyo Form.'' Mana stated.

"Nice! She look like an angel who fell from heaven." Takeshi commented with a smile.

Ikaruga looks at her unamused, "Oho... that's a wonderful form but gaining wings won't help you in this fight cause I'll just cut it off.'' she mocked.

Setsuna then began to glow, "I'm not done yet! Activate Pactio! Gladiara Alata!'' she chanted as her body was engulf by bright light blinding everyone's visions including Ikaruga, as the light down, Setsuna is now in her new form. She is currently wearing a white sleeveless gii, two golden gauntlets with white sleeves, blue hakama pants, white socks and black sandals. In her hands are two wazikashi and with her wings, her appearance makes her look like a Divine Being.

"Wow... she's so beautiful...'' Houki said in awe.

Takeshi whistles, "So that's a pactio! How do you girls get one?'' he asked only to see Kaede and Mana looking away from him with blush on their face, "Eh? What's wrong?'' he asked in confusion.

Erza then got up and look at Setsuna with a smile, "So, she's going all out! Then I should too.'' she claimed as she transforms once more to her next armor, The Clear Heart Clothing. This outfit is primarily red with some gold, black and white. The outfit consists of a white sarashi round the upper chest and a red hakama with a gold flame-like pattern at the bottom with black highlights, tied by white strings. Erza's hair is tied up in a high tail at the back by a green headband.

"Is that what you're referring to Yamamoto-dono?'' Kaede asked.

Takeshi grinned, "Yup! It may look normal but what she can do with that form is amazing.'' he claimed.

Setsuna turns to the redhead, "Erza-dono... I'll keep her distracted, once you find an opening then strike.'' she instructed.

"That's really risky but I believe that's our only chance to beat her, so let's do it.'' Erza replied.

Setsuna nodded as she turns her attention back to Ikaruga, "Let's go." she declared.

Ikaruga giggled as she remained still, "Whatever you two are planning, it won't work.'' she said.

Setsuna charges and with her wings it increases her speed, she swung her weapon at Ikaruga which such force that the kimono-wearing swords woman had to block it.

"I'm impressed this ability of yours fascinates me.'' Ikaruga commented.

"You've seen nothing yet.'' Setsuna declared as she took a few steps back before throwing some paper dolls which later transforms into Negi Springfield, Asuna Kagurazaka, Kenji Kazama, Kaede Nagase, Koutarou Inugami, Izuku Midoriya, Kuu Fei, Saito Hiiraga and Chizuru Tachibana.

"What are those?'' Houki asked.

"Those are doppelgangers, Setsuna knows a technique where she can transform paper dolls to doppelgangers of different persons.'' Mana explained.

The doppelgangers then charges towards Ikaruga, "Futile.'' she said before swinging her sword causing every doppelgangers to disappear to a puff of smoke, suddenly Setsuna appears right in front of her, much to her shock.

"Zangakuen!" Setsuna shouted before swinging down her kii infused weapon towards but Ikaruga once again blocks the strike however unlike before, the blow was a lot powerful that it pushed her a few inches away.

Ikaruga looks up at Setsuna with a grin, "Interesting... you're a lot talented than I thought.'' she commented.

"I'm not done yet!'' Setsuna said closing her eyes as she began to glow using her artifact in full force, "Shika Shishikuro!'' she chanted as 16 blades are created from thin air, she then opens her eyes, "Inatsurubi no Katama!'' she yelled as she uses the 16 blades and created a lightning force around the target that traps Ikaruga and stops her from moving, much to her shock.

Ikaruga gritted her teeth, "I never expected this kind of technique.'' she said.

Setsuna turns back, "Erza-dono, now!" she called out.

Erza then charges forward with her sights set on the immovable Ikaruga, "This is the end!'' she declared as she focuses her Magic Power into her blade for maximum offense, "Graaaagghhh!" she roared before swinging her sword pass through Ikaruga.

Everyone stayed in silence as Setsuna's blades disappeared, Ikaruga stood still before smiling, "Well done... well done...'' she said as blood spills out from her side before falling backwards to the ground in defeat.

Erza took a deep breath before looking down on Ikaruga, victoriously.

BREAK OUT!

"AND THE WINNER ARE ERZA SCARLET AND SETSUNA SAKURAZAKI!" Eddy announced as everyone roared in cheers.

"Se-chan, you two did it!" Konoka cheered hugging Sestuna much to the feather hair's embarrassment.

Houki let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness... it's over.'' she said.

"Hahaha! That was fun to watch!'' Takeshi said with a hearty laughter.

Mana nodded, "Indeed, it was an impressive battle." she said.

"Makes me wonder how I would fair if take on Erza-dono in spar - de gozaru.'' Kaede thought out loud.

Both Erza and Setsuna reverted back to their original attires as Guts, Buggy and Kurome are approaching the still down Ikaruga, when suddenly, a red vortex appears below her, shocking everyone.

"What the?'' Buggy gasped.

"A red vortex!" Guts stated.

"What's going on?'' Erza asked.

Ikaruga then spoke as she slowly sinks down the red vortex, "Too bad for you guys... I'm not letting myself captured... you already had Damascus and lately, Tsukuyomi, I'll see you all later...'' she said.

"Wait up!'' Setsuna called, but it's too late, Ikaruga was gone and the red vortex vanished.

Everyone stood in silence trying to comprehend what just happened until Dr. Kenjirou spoke, "All right... that was just an act, the vortex is our other option in taking injured combatants to the Sick Bay, why is it red? We're having some magic-type technical difficulties goin' on!'' he reassured the crowd.

"Nice save.'' Eddy stated while releasing a sigh, "But magic-type technical difficulties? You could at least come up something better than that.'' he said.

The doctor looks at Eddy with a blank look, "Oh, like you could come up with something better.'' he mocked.

Meanwhile, Buggy knelt down on the same spot where Ikaruga once lied, he touches the ground trying to detect any magical presence.

"So... where do you think that red vortex took her?'' Guts asked with his arms crossed.

"No clue... but I guess that vortex took her back to the Apostles' base operation.'' Buggy replied before looking up with narrowed eyes, "This won't be the last time that we're seeing here, that's for sure.'' he added.

Kurome then spotted two cloaked individuals from the crowd, whom noticed her stare, causing them to quickly walk away.

"What's wrong Kurome?'' Guts asked.

Kurome shook her head, "Nothing. Just wondering something.'' she replied.

As this is goin on, Erza approaches Setsuna, "Setsuna, you really impressed me with your skills, though you need a few improvement, I'll be happy to give you some tips if you want.'' she offered.

Setsuna smiled, "Much appreciated... thank you very much.'' she replied with a bow.

"By the way, this Pactio of yours is really interesting, I was wondering how did obtain such ability?'' Erza asked.

Setsuna then blushed from the question, "Uhm... that's... well...'' she said trying to come up with a good answer.

"She got her pactio after kissing Negi-kun." Konoka replied bluntly with a smile on her nonetheless.

"Ojou-sama!' Sestuna blurted out, her face blushing madly.

Everyone in the streets was left in silence from what they heard, Erza could only stare at Setsuna in shock with a tint of red in her cheeks, Guts was speechless while Eddy and Buggy jaws dropped on the ground... literally, Dr. Kenjirou would look around awkwardly while Kurome doesn't care.

"Setsuna... I... I never thought that you're into young boys...'' Erza muttered.

"It's not what it looks like! I can explain!'' Setsuna replied frantically as Konoka let out a giggle.

Meanwhile, Houki and Takeshi looks at Mana and Kaede with perplexed looks, "Don't tell me... you guys formed a pactio with Springfield-sensei too... and did that...'' the former said.

Mana look away as Kaade spoke, "It's... really embarrassing... so let's not talk about it - de gozaru.'' she said with her cheeks tinted with red.

-BREAK-

Later, on a rooftop of one building, we see Damascus, Ginpachi-sensei and Kenshin Himura gathered together. Kenshin is currently wearing a white tuxedo with black tie, dark trousers and brown leather shoes.

"So... two down and one more to go.'' Ginpachi stated.

Damascus nodded, "But unlike the first two, the last one will be a lot of trouble than you expected.'' he replied.

"How so?'' Kenshin asked.

"I felt his presence, he's here, he has the ability to summon different monsters and any minute, he could do it.'' Damascus replied.

"What else he can do?'' Kenshin asked once again.

"All he had is physical strength but even without magical abilities, he still considered a powerful threat.'' Damascus answered.

"Then we need to warn everyone about this, in order to keep their guards up." Ginpachi suggested.

Kenshin nodded, "It's our best move for now.'' he said.

-BREAK-

On the other side of town, we see Chizuru Tachibana(with bandages wrapped around his head), Kenji Kazama, Nanoha Takamachi, Asuna Kagurazaka, Negi Springfield, Takane D. Goodman, Mei Sakura and Ryuuko Matoi gathered around in a circle.

Nanoha just finished taking calls from Ginpachi before turning to everyone, "Guys according to Ginpachi-sensei, the next member of the Apostles had the ability to summon monsters.'' she revealed.

"Man! If those Apostles weren't enough... they just had to plan in bringing in their cavalries.'' Ryuuko grumbled.

"Well... the Apostles exists to create havoc so it ain't surprising for them to plan something like that.'' Kenji stated.

"Just what kind of monsters are we talking about?'' Mei asked curiously.

"It varies from Eggbears, Unmanned IS, giant roaches, zombies and the Titans.'' Chizuru counted.

"Titans?'' Asuna repeated.

"Giant naked humans that eat people.'' Chizuru replied with nonchalantly.

Negi gulped, "Okay... that's scary...'' he stated with shaky voice.

"Anyway... we need to keep our guards up, Ginpachi-sensei said that the last Apostle could attack anytime soon.'' Nanoha reminded.

Takane nodded, "She's right, we need to get ready and make sure the people don't panicked during the attack.'' she stated.

"I think Eddy and Dr. Kenjirou got that covered.'' Kenji reassured, "Whatever their plan is." he added with a blank look.

Nanoha then turns to Chizuru, "Are you sure you want to fight Chizuru? You're still haven't recovered from the fight you had with Tsukuyomi.'' she pointed out with worried looks.

Chiziru shook his head, "I appreciate your concern but I'm fine, I can still keep going, besides I'm going to become your leader so I can't afford to back down due to injury.'' he reasoned.

Takane looks at Chizuru with a smile, "You guys really are interesting... all right, I've decided. I'm going to join AWA once the fiasco here is over." she announced surprising everyone.

"Eh? Are you sure?" Negi asked in surprise.

Takane nodded, "AWA seems a good place to work, besides, ever since the discovery of magic, the Magic Association got less work than usual so joining AWA is a great start for me." she explained.

"If Takane is joining then so am I!" Mei announced cheerfully.

Nanoha giggled, "Then glad to have you onboard Takane-san." she said.

"Likewise." Takane replied.

-BREAK-

Meanwhile, from another rooftop, we see another figure clad in black cloak looking down the town with a sinister grin.

"So I guess it's all to me now huh..." he said as a strange crack began to form behind him, "... we're going to have a festival all right, a festival where the screaming of pain and horror as the music." he said ominously as creatures slowly comes out of the crack one by one.

And that's it! I hope you like the fight between Erza & Setsuna against Ikaruga. I had to rewatch the episode where Erza took on Ikaruga to create a decent fight scene.

This is the character who debuted in this chapter:

Takeshi Yamamoto from Katekyo Hitman Reborn

-OMAKE-

In one cafe, we see Yuuki Konno, Asuna Yuuki, Yuuki Asaba and Yuuki Kataoka gathered in one table with cakes and drinks for each of them.

"Yuuki-san have you ever tried doing "that" with Kirito?" Yuuki Asaba asked with a straight face.

"W-what!? What are you talking about Yuuki!? No! No... we didn't... do that..." Asuna Yuuki replied with a mad blush on her face.

"Yuuki-chan! You should try eating tacos!" Yuuki Kataoka suggested with a big smile.

"Um! I would love to try eating tacos! I heard they were good!" Yuuki Konno replied happily.

On another table, right next to them, we see Rex Salazar and Red having some snacks with blank look on their faces.

"Those four should never hang out with each other." Rex stated.

"They're giving me hernia." Red said.

Yui Hirasawa then walk passed them while strumming her guitar.

Hope you like the omake! Next chapter, all hell breaks loose! And the everyone enjoys it!

Until then, paalam!
