CH9: Upset

Erza's fist was caught by Zancrows and with a swift kick to her stomach he sent the female wizard flying back.

"Requip!" And as soon as the words were spoken, Erza emerged wearing her Flame Empress armor. "When two wizards with the same element battle, tactics are what determine the winner." She said with a smile.

"Be careful Erza, he doesn't use normal fire!" Natsu yelled while being healed by Wendy who had since regained consciousness.

"Noted." Erza responded. Her precision strikes were well coordinated and should any of them have collide with Zancrow, he would have been in a world of hurt. Unfortunately for Erza, Zancrow was not only known for his God Slaying magic, but also for his martial art skills. He doged Erza's attacks with ease, toying with her by slapping her face and certain places that shouldn't be slapped.

Erza used her magic power to focus on her flame sword and began charging up her magic.

"No Erza don't do it!" Natsu yelled.

But it was too late. Erza unleashed her wave of fire directly at the God Slayer, puzzled as to why he was grinning. What Erza thought was a knockout blow turned out to be a snack for the God Slayer. He inhaled all her flames and once he was done, his power rose back to its original level.

"Your flames aren't bad tasting, though I got say that Natsu's fire is much more appetizing."

Realizing her situation, Erza reequipped into yet another set of armor. "Requip!" After a flash of light, Zancrow stared dumbfounded. Erza had reequipped into her very revealing Sea Empress armor which exposed her stomach, legs, and a large portion of her cleavage.

Zancrow dropped his guard and common sense as he started walking calmly toward Erza licking his lips. "It would seem that my fun starts now," he said seductively. Erza pointed her sword at him.

"Water Typhoon!" Water shot out towards the God Slayer and pushed him back with hard till he was against a wall. Thousands of gallons flowed out from Erzas sword sealing Zancrow in a sphere of water with a large radius. Erza was going to drown him. After all he did to her guild, and humiliating her in the heat of battle, she decided it was time for the God Slayer, to meet God.

Zancrow however knew what she was up to. With him being underwater, he could not speak the incantations necessary to form his fire attacks. That only left him one option, which was to use raw power. He utilized every ounce of magic power he had to make his escape. After what seemed like forever, black flames finally formed around the God Slayer. Seeing Erzas shocked expression on her face was all the motivation her needed to let loose one final burst of magic power. Erza's water prison began to evaporate being enveloped by black flames.

(BOOM)

The blast sent Erza back into some rubble which seemed to disorient her. She looked around to see the area; it was wet and several patches of water were steaming hot, evaporating. She looked onward to see an exhausted God Slayer, catching his breath. She was so close. How could she fail her friends like that?

Zancrow was still trying to catch his breath. "Nice, try, trying to fight my fire with water. But, it, wasn't enough." Zancrow began walking towards Erza, his demeanor was no longer smug, it was instead angry. "You actually tried to drown me. I guess you Fairy Tail pansies will go through any means necessary to secure victory." He lifted Erza off the rubble by her neck and began to squeeze hard. "This revenge was supposed to take only a couple of minutes. You however have delayed me significantly. And for that you're going to pay."

With a seductive grin on his face Zancrow moved his free hand underneath Erzas armor which was guarding her left breast. He began to manhandle it, squeezing occasionally to the point where Erza's discomfort could be noticed by the God Slayer, no matter how much bravado she was trying to muster up. "You know the problem with fighting bad guys in such revealing outfits? The problem is that if you lose, you're in big trouble. Kind of like you are right now. All the magical power in the world couldn't save you from what I'm about to put you through."

"I'm…going, to crush you." Erza said weakly.

"…Huh? ... HEHEHEHAHAHAHAHA." Zancrow laughed so hard he dropped Erza on the ground. He couldn't take it. Here she was, battered, beaten, weak, and she was making threats of defeating the God Slayer. "Oh man, you're too much for me babe. Haha. If you think you can take me down," Zancrow squatted down right in front of the female wizard locking eye contact, "take your best shot."

Erza returned Zancrow's glare.

"Yea, I didn't think…"

(Crack)

Next thing you knew, Zancrow was on the ground holding his crotch. He could take on Natsu's Brilliant Flame no problem. Armies he didn't even bat an eye at. But a punch in the crotch brought him straight to his knees.

"You…you bitch! That was such a cheapshot!" Zancrow whined.

He regained part of his composure to look up and see Erza towering over him with a look of pure evil in her gorgeous eyes.

"Requip, Purgatory Armor!"

Zancrow's heart slowed a little. Here he was on the ground incapacitated while his opponent appeared to have brought out her most powerful armor. It was all black laced with spikes at certain points. And her sword was enormous, sharp and jagged. She took a swing and Zancrow Braced himself.

(Crash)

He looked to his left where the sword landed just a few inches shy of his beautiful face.

"I told you," Erza said, "messing with Fairy Tail would be your last mistake."
