Hello everyone, here is the next chapter, sorry it took so long. I hope this can redeem myself for being so late. And by the way, Ur lives now in Fairy Hills, so that you know it. :)
I orginally planned to update this on altajir95´s birthday, but since some of you wanted it sooner, so I posted it today. Sorry if that bothered altajir95 or some others.
As for Flare, I know that some of you might be a bit upset, since I even introduced her to Natsu in chapter 4, but that before I was making that decision, so I am sorry if it didn't turn out the way you expected.
Hiro Mashima is the one and only owner of Fairy Tail. I don't own a thing.

Chapter 19: The Promise to the Future.
"Ugh, where am I?" Happy said as he slowly woke up, only to then find himself in a room that was decorated with cat-stuff everywhere. "Huh, what is this room?" The blue cat said as he looked around across the room, as then Millianna suddenly appeared next to Happy looking at him as if she was possessed.
"What? AHHH!" Happy yelled as he then jumped away and then landed on the floor. "Who are you and where am I?!" Happy yelled as he wanted to know where he was.
"Nya, that is not important is where you are, but that your new owner, is me, Millianna." Millianna said as her eyes sparkled at the prospect of having a new cat, this time, a talking one.
Happy was only frozen in terror of what would happen next.
"MILLIANNA! Erza have escaped from her cell!" Wally said as he entered the room. "What?! Erza has escaped?!" Millianna shouted. "Erza is here?! Why?!" Happy thought, as then Wally then made a gun with his right hand. "She probably went to Jellal, but don't worry, as we are going to stop her, in a Dandy fashion." Wally said.
At the same time, with the Council...
"USE ETHERION?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!" Michello shouted at Siegrain´s idea of launching The Magic Council's Mightiest Weapon of Magic. "Etherion?!" Belno said. "I know what you are all thinking, that despite my evil Brother Jellal is there, there are still some innocent people. But we can´t send people to attack, as we risk their lives to be killed. Do you really want that, if you are against the act of people dying, only for more to be killed, once they have completed the Tower?" Siegrain said, which got the Council Members quiet in thoughts.
Siegrain was right, who knew what kind of disaster would happen if the R-system, also known as the Tower of Heaven, was completed?
"And that is why I am voting, for the use of Etherion." Council Member Ultear Milkovich said, as the other Council Members, except Jellal, couldn't believe that she agreed.
"So, everyone, what are your choices?" Jellal asked.
Back at the Tower of Heaven...
"JELLAL! Where are you?!" Erza screamed after she defeated a group of guards. As Erza was walking, she only had one thing in her mind, and that was to find Jellal.
Back with Natsu and the others, they were finally arriving at the Tower of Heaven, as they were on their boat.
"There might be some guards on the shore, so the best way is to go underwater to get inside, which is why I have made Water Bubbles you can use in order to breathe underwater." Juvia said as she made bubbles out of water with her Magic.
"Since I can breathe underwater with my Magic, I don't need one." Juvia said. "Well, that is very supportive, thanks Juvia." Natsu said, making the Water Mage blush. "As long as I assist you, Natsu-sama, I am glad beyond happiness." Juvia said with a red face. "Anyway, let's get in, we need to make sure to save Erza." Gray said, with the others agreeing as well.
As they swam through the water, they eventually made it to the Tower, as they swam to the surface and into the interior of the Tower.
But as they were finally taking off their bubble helmets, guards surrounded them with their weapons ready to attack.
"It seems we have company." Natsu said as he coated his arms in darkness, Gray and Ur gathered their Ice Magic, Juvia gathered her Water and Lucy and Yukino took their Keys to attack.
"Kill them all!" One of the guards said, as they then charged, which then Gray sent them away with his Ice Magic.
"Ice Make: Arrows!" Gray sent a swarm of arrows at the group of guards, while Ur made a massive sword of ice, which was big as a pillar, had a cross shaped guard with a white rose on the center of each side and a twirling handle with a decoration in the shape of a snowflake at the end of it."Ice Make: Winter Blade!" Ur said as she slashed the guards down with her ice sword as if she was cutting grass.
"Ready, Yukino?" Lucy said as she was in her white bikini with pink flowers, as she changed it before they went in. "Yes, Lucy-sama!" Yukino said while wearing a white bikini with blue roses, as both of them took their Keys.
"Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!"
"Open! Gate of the Heavnely Scales! Libra!"
As the duo of Celestial Mages summoned their Spirits, with the guards ogling perversely at the female Celestial Spirits.
"Wow, a maid?!"
"And a dancer?!"
"Way better than the bikini babes!"
As they perverted guards cheered, Lucy got a tick mark on her head, while Yukino blushed as if she eaten a glowing apple. "Virgo, make sure to punish them, before I lose it." Lucy said as anger hided inside her, with Yukino sweat dropping. "As you wish, Princess." Virgo said as the Maid Spirit then charged towards the guards, which Virgo then punched and kicked the guards. "Libra, decrease the gravity!" Yukino commanded Libra, who then used her Gravity Magic to decrease the gravity, which then sent the Guards up the roof in rocketing speed, knocking them out.
"Water Spears!" Juvia sent spears of water at a group of twenty guards, defeating them like they were nothing, as she surrounded herself with water, which she unleashed and sent a crowd of guards away.
"Azure Pillar!" Juvia said as the Water Mage sent the guards away at different directions, one of the guards landing on Lucy by "accident."
"Did you see that, Natsu-sama? The strength of your powerful woman, Juvia!" The blue haired water mage thought while she looked with heart eyes at Natsu, who defeated the guards like flies.
"OI! LOOK WHERE YOU ARE SENDING PEOPLE AT!" Lucy yelled as the blonde shoved away the guard that landed on her. "Sorry, I won't do it again." Juvia said without emotions as it showed that she lied. "DON'T DENY IT!" Lucy yelled with a tick mark on her head.
"Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu roared a stream of pitch black smoke from his mouth at the guards, as he then jumped towards another group of guards as he kicked them with a wave of darkness at them. "Abyss Dragon´s Talon!" Natsu kicked them as he jumped back.
The guards were all now defeated, as more than half of them were knocked unconscious, while others fled from the battleground.
"Let´s go, we need to find Erza." Natsu said, which the others agreed to, even Juvia. Despite Erza being a love rival, she needed to save her.
"Princess, you need to change to some dry clothes, and since I am your maid, I am going to help take off your bikini so you don't have to have to endure the work to take it off." Virgo said while her eyes glowed red, much to the blonde´s fear.
"What?! Wait, I can handle it myself!" Lucy shrieked, with Yukino blushing red like a tomato, with the others trying to look away.
"But we need to go, who knows what will happen if we waste any more time." Natsu said and then looked at the entrance to the next room.
At the same time, back to the Magic Council in Era...
"Everyone, in order to prevent the R-System come back again, I need one more vote. One more vote in order to stop the dangerous tool that can lead to the end of Earthland." Siegrain said as he had already two votes.
Back in the Tower of Heaven, inside Jellal´s throne room...
"Jellal-sama, why did you allow the intruders to come into the Tower?" Asked Vidaldus to the hooded Jellal. "Don't ask such silly questions, Vidaldus." Jellal said while knocking down a chess pieces. "It´s a game, and they have just cleared the first level." Jellal said while smiling darkly.
Back with Natsu and the others...
Natsu and the others walked into a hall, as Lucy was now wearing a green dress given by Virgo. (A/N: I am not gonna describe it, since you all know what it looks like), while Yukino wore a white dress with blue decorations, as well white shoes with blue dots and white arm length gloves with a blue rose on each of them, as she also had a similar one on her hair band.
"It seems quiet, too quiet." Natsu said as he and the others looked around, with the guards surrounding them. Before they could act, they were all taken down by Erza in her Heaven Wheel Armor as the redheaded knight entered the scene.
"ERZA!" Everyone said as she Re-quipped into her Heart Kruz Armor entered the scene. "You are here! Thank god!" Lucy said as she ran to her arms and hugged her, which Erza had returned, despite her confusion of why they were here.
"Why are you all here?" Erza asked while she still hugged Lucy, which then the blonde released her and went back.
"What are you talking about? We came to rescue you!" Lucy said, which then Erza had her eyes shadowed. "Erza-sama, is there something wrong?" Asked Yukino. Erza looked at them as her eyes were serious, more serious than Natsu and Gray had ever seen.
"I am glad you all came for me, but this is something I must do on my own. Leave now, because I don't want any of you to be involved or get hurt." Erza said, as the others couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"Erza, what has gotten into you?!" Natsu yelled as he demanded answers from his redheaded lover. Erza couldn't blame him, as she was his mate, and wanted to know it, as well the rest of their nakama, so she couldn't have blamed them for wanting to know her past.
"Since you all don't know the reason, you can't be here, so I am going to tell you it. A day that was a long time ago that would change my life, as well the others, forever." Erza said as she then started to explain the events in the Tower of Heaven eight years ago.
Years ago, she was kidnapped by a Cult of Zeref that wanted them to build something known as the R-System, in order to resurrect their master, the Dark Mage Zeref.
As her hometown, Rosemary village, burned down, she was taken with the rest of the prisoners to the Tower of Heaven, where she eventually met Simon, Millianna, Wally, Sho, Rob, and Jellal.
During their time in the Tower, it was nothing but pain, sorrow, and despair, which they wanted to escape no matter what.
One day, after a failed escape attempt, she was eventually sent in a cell to be tortured, which led Jellal to eventually come and save her, only for him to be tortured as well while Erza was taken back to her cell.
No longer being able to handle it, Erza eventually led the rebellion with the rest of the slaves, including her friends. In the climax of the battle, the guards sent a beam at her, which then Rob, the old, kind man who was with Erza, shielded himself for her, as the last she saw of him, was the guild mark on his back he was a member of.
Fairy Tail, the guild Rob talked Erza about.
At the moment he vanished, in one second, everything was still as if time itself stopped. And in the next second, she let out a loud scream, as then Magic around her gathered, as she then used it to defeat the guards and end the rebellion.
As the Slaves were finally free, Erza could only rethink of the moments of Jellal not giving up, as she was doing what Jellal was fighting for.
As the former slaves went to pack and leave the Tower, Erza went to look for Jellal as she didn't want to leave without him.
As she searched for him, Erza finally found him, only to find him more different. Erza wondered what happened, which Jellal said that they hadn't won their freedom, much to her confusion, which then an explosion was heard from the ships the former slaves were on.
Jellal further explained to the horrified Erza that he was going to rebuild the Tower to gain their "True Freedom," as well as making them the rulers of the World. Erza didn't want to be a part of this of course, which led to Jellal beating her and tossing around like a ragdoll, which Jellal then told her to leave, and don't come back, which left a heart broken Erza fleeing, which she then cried out to the sky.
A while later after much time had passed, she later joined the guild Rob was part of, Fairy Tail, where Erza got a new artificial eye by Porlyusica, where she didn't shed any tears, since she cried half of her tears from the time in the Tower.
"And that´s why I need to handle Jellal alone, as the day is the reminder of what would change my life forever." Erza said, as Lucy, Yukino and even Juvia, were tear-filled by her story, as Natsu, Gray and Ur had their eyes shadowed.
"Please, don't interfere, this is something I need to do alone, since I..." Erza said, but Natsu stopped her.
"Erza, the guild we are part of is Fairy Tail, and we always stick together. Sometimes we need to things alone, but you need help to do it." Natsu said as he, Gray and Ur looked straight into her eyes.
"We will not abandon you, Erza." Gray said. "Because you truly are a woman to look up to." Ur said to the redheaded knight, as she heard her friends say those words.
"You guys..." Erza said, as then a voice said from behind her. "You should listen to your friends, Erza." Which then made her turn around to see Simon.
"You are the guy from the Casino!" Natsu said as he and the rest got into battle position. "Don't worry, I am not here to attack you." Simon said as he went closer to Erza.
"Erza, I am here to assist you in stopping Jellal." Simon said, silencing the group as they couldn't believe what he said. "WHAT?!" Lucy, Yukino and Juvia shouted. "Aren´t you a subordinate to Jellal?" Ur asked as she didn't trust the eye patched man. "I was only pretending to be Jellal´s subordinate." Simon answered. "How long have you been pretending?" Gray asked.
"Since the day Erza left. Jellal framed Erza for attacking as she didn't want us to have Jellal´s "True Freedom," but I saw through Jellal´s lies, as during the years in his Cult, I spent time as one of his most loyal men." Simon said as he explained the story.
"As I didn't want Sho, Wally and Millianna, but mostly Jellal to break their faith, to make sure no one would be harmed by Jellal himself, I went through and supported the lies Jellal came up with." Simon explained.
"So, all these years, you didn't truly follow Jellal?" Erza said as she listened to what Simon said. "Yeah, and for all those years, I am sorry, Erza. I was hoping that I wouldn't have the wrong idea." Simon said as he then went to Erza and hugged his red headed childhood friend.
"Erza, I am hope you trust my words." Simon said while hugging Erza. She then responded with giving the hug back. "I am trusting you Simon, because I know you are a man that keep his word." Erza said.
"So, it is true then..." A voice said, as then the others, even Simon turned around to see Sho with his eyes shadowed. "Sho..." Erza said while she let go of Simon. "That it wasn't you who betrayed us, but Jellal? Were all the things throughout the years that Jellal told us lies?" Sho said as he then went to his knees while holding his head in despair as he started to cry.
"Shit... why the fuck are we here...? Were we truly nothing but puppets to Jellal?!" Sho shouted as he couldn't believe the truth.
"Sho, the truth is sometimes very painful, but also sometimes the key that leads to the future, the future we all should have had in the first place." Simon said as he then looked at Erza.
"Erza here, is the one who can defeat Jellal, because if there is someone who known Jellal the longest, it is Erza!" Simon said.
Erza then went to Sho as she then hugged her childhood friend. "Sho, don't worry, we all are going to make sure that Jellal pays for what he has done to us and everything." Erza said.
"It seems like we have one goal in one thing, which is to kick Jellal´s ass." Natsu said as he coated his hands in darkness, as he charged his Magic. "It´s time to taste the dark!" Natsu said. "Then let's go, we need to find him and stop him." Erza said, which the others agreed.
"We need to split up. If I remember right, one of your friends, the Blue Cat, is in Millianna´s room." Simon explained, which made Natsu happy to hear. "Happy?! Where is that room?!" Natsu asked, which then Simon pointed to where it was. "That direction, we need to split up to handle the situation." Simon said, as the real battle was soon coming to them.
At the same time, at Era...
"Do you even know the risk of everyone on that tower, as even innocent people are in there? It can cause a lot of unnecessary deaths!" Yajima said.
"I know that, which is why I am taking full responsibility for it, as I should take the risks." Siegrain said.
"I never thought I would one day do this..." Belno said as she then raised her hand to vote to Siegrain´s plan to use Etherion.
"Belno..." Leiji said. "I know the consequences, but I won't allow anything that threatens the Magic Council's eyes go pass." Belno said.
"And we only need one more vote. Just one vote to decide what to do with the R-system." Siegrain said as things started to become more intense.
At the same time, in the Tower of Heaven, Jellal sat on his throne as his smile was as dark as the night itself.
"Jellal-sama, it seems that Simon and Sho have betrayed us." Vidaldus announced. "I see. Then it seems that we need to start the game earlier than expected. Right, Vidaldus?" Jellal said.
Vidaldus smirked as he replied back. "I can't disagree with you on that, Jellal-sama." He said and used his Transformation Magic, which then engulfed him with Magic Energy as once it died down, it showed his new appearance.
Vidaldus now had paper white skin, purple pants, spiked shoulder pads, bare chested with the red letters of "Skeletoy" on the chest, boots, spiked armbands and black make up.
"It´s time, time to taste Ultimate Hell!" Vidaldus shouted wildly as he had his guitar in his hands, while he said it, four figures came from behind him, as they were ready to work on their mission.
"The Real Game is soon to begin, Quinto Raven." Jellal said while smirked evilly.
With Natsu and the gang...
Natsu, Erza, Lucy, Yukino, Ur, Juvia, Gray, Sho and Simon were currently running in the halls to find Happy before they went on Jellal.
"Millianna´s room is right above ahead, if we keep going, we can save Happy." Simon said. "Ok, because I am not leaving my buddy behind." Natsu said, as then suddenly the hallway got covered in red ice.
"What kind of ice is this?!" Gray said, as then suddenly, a laughter was heard.
As they looked to see where the laughter came from, a woman from the darkness came out.
She had blonde hair in a ponytail, silver eyes, wore a black tank top, white jeans, a black belt, black shoes and white fingerless gloves.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked the blonde woman. "Hm, it seemed like I should have listened to mother when she raised to address me to new people I meet. The name is Sophia Zervos, member of Quinto Raven of Dead Head Caucus." Sophia announced.
"I have heard of them! If I remember correctly, it is a Dark Guild known for its Assassins, and Quinto Raven is an Elite team of five Mages, who killed all the Ranked Officers of the Western Army in the Capria War." Simon said.
"And you are just about to feel our power." Sophia said as she gathered her Ice Magic, which was red as if it was frozen blood, as it then gathered around her.
"Ice huh? I handle her. You go ahead, because if there is someone who shall handle her, it is me." Ur said as she then prepared her Ice Magic.
Natsu, Lucy, Erza and mostly Gray, showed their smiles of trusting her. "We know you can handle it, Ur-sensei." Gray said, as then he and the rest of the gang where leaving.
"Ur, you are an Ice Mage of a quality that makes you worthy of one. So, there is no way we can distrust you on this task." Natsu thought while running.
"Don't worry everyone, since Ur defeated one of the Wizard Saints, that Quinto Raven chick is no match for Ur!" Gray said while they others ran.
Back with Ur and Sophia, who were charging their Magics in their preparation for their battle.
"Some friends you have there, as they abandon their comrades to the enemy." Sophia mocked. "There are times when friends do things together, but there are times when we need to do things alone. They trust me, and I won't fail them, as we are in the same guild, Fairy Tail." Ur said as she prepared her Ice Make Magic.
"Don't be so cocky, as it will be the last they see of you!" Sophia said as she then gathered her Dark Ice Magic around her and then she attacked. "Tearing Night Tiger!" Sophia sent a tiger of red ice as she then sent it to Ur.
Ur created a sword of Ice, as she slashed the red ice tiger in half, as the red ice from it started to spread into her sword like an infection.
Ur widened her eyes and then tossed it aside, as it then shattered on the ground into pieces.
"What was that? I've never seen Ice Magic of that kind." Ur thought as she couldn't believe what she saw. Sophia noticed Ur´s expression as she smirked.
"Well, since you are about to die, it doesn't matter if I tell you the Magic I use or not." Sophia said as she then coated her arms in red ice.
"My Magic, Dark Rigel, which allows me to control and fight with the Magic that combines Darkness and Ice." The Quinto Raven member said.
"Combines Ice and Darkness?" Ur said. "Yep, unlike regular Ice, it allows me to encompass the more unstable aspect of Ice Magic, which allows me to achieve greater feats due to its unique properties it has in comparison of other Ice Elemental Spells." Explained Sophia.
Ur then simply responded as she gathered Ice Magic in her hands.
"And what you saw was true. If it touches Magic of the same element, which is Ice and Darkness, it also takes it over like a virus, as you noticed earlier." Sophia said as she gathered red ice.
"Don't worry, I saw it earlier, and I always learn from earlier experiences." Ur said as the battle was now about to start.
Back with Natsu and the others...
"Keep going, we should be there soon!" Simon said as he and the others ran through the corridors. They then ran into a large room where Vidaldus was standing while wildly playing with his guitar, high enough to burst normal people´s eardrums.
"WOOOAH! TIME TO TASTE THE ULTIMATE HELL!" Vidaldus shouted loudly. "Who the hell are you?!" Gray asked. "The name's Vidaldus Taka, of the Team Quinto Raven! None of you will pass this alive!" Vidaldus yelled crazily.
"Dammit, another Quinto Raven member!" Erza said, which then Juvia stepped forward. "Don't worry everyone, Juvia shall take care of him." Juvia said while she prepared to use her Water Magic.
Lucy and Yukino went to her side as well. "Juvia-sama, don't fight alone, because we are going to help you as well." Yukino said as she and Lucy prepared themselves for battle by taking their Celestial Keys out.
"Dammit, why can't Juvia prove to Natsu-sama for once she doesn't need any help from Love Rivals?" Juvia thought while the bluenette groaned. "Juvia, we are friends, and we are going to fight by your side." Lucy said with a smile, which made the Water Mage widen her eyes a little.
Juvia had been alone since childhood, which had left a void in her heart, a void that not even the time she dated Bora was able to fill it. But during the Phantom Lord War, she felt it was being filled with a light that she lacked for years.
The light known as friends, which were now in front her, and yet she denied it. Juvia felt she didn't want it to pass by, as Juvia didn't want to be alone anymore, as her friends were there for her.
"Juvia will accept your help, Love Rivals." Juvia said as Lucy and Yukino sweat dropped. The others left as they ran from the room.
"I trust and know you can handle him, Juvia, Lucy, and Yukino!" Natsu said as then he and the others left the room.
"Well, well, I would want that Redheaded Whore to fight with us too, but then you three are perfect." Vidaldus said as he then noticed Yukino and pointed at her. "But despite being underage, I can truly enjoy playing with you." Vidaldus said with a twisted smile.
"You really are scum, you pedophile." Lucy said and took her Key out, while Yukino blushed, as she took her Key alongside her fellow Celestial Spirit Mage, while she Juvia gathered water around herself.
"Open! Gate of the Bull! Taurus!"
"Open! Gate of the Paired Fish! Pisces!"
A light came by as then the large bull man with a large battle axe and giant pair of fishes came, ready for battle.
"Taurus, attack him!" Lucy commanded the Bull Celestial Spirit, as he charged towards the man with the guitar while swinging his axe in the air.
"MOOO! In the name of Lucy´s boobs, I shall take this scum down!" Taurus said as Lucy and Libra sweat dropped, while Yukino blushed at bit at Taurus´ actions.
"I don't think so." Vidaldus said as he then sent a massive shockwave of sound, which was strong enough to send the bull to the wall, knocking him out and sending him back to the Celestial Spirit World.
"Taurus!" Lucy yelled, Vidaldus then tried to attack the blonde, but Juvia shot a wave of water at Vidaldus. "Why you!" Juvia yelled, Lucy might be her Love Rival, but she couldn't stand one of her friends being hurt.
Vidaldus simply grinned as he then absorbed the water with his hair, much to the trio of women´s surprise.
"What?!" Juvia said as she couldn't believe her water was absorbed, as then Vidaldus threw his head back. "My hair can absorb any kind of Water, as you didn't know earlier. But enough of that, and lets have the real show started!" Vidaldus said as he then playing with guitar again, as then golden sparkles game from it, which then purple energy came and went into Juvia!
"Rock of Succubus!" Vidaldus said as the Guitar Magic then changed Juvia.
"JUVIA!" Both Lucy and Yukino screamed as they saw their blue haired friend transform into a wilder and rougher form, as she now wore tight blue pants, a white belt, a tattoo on her stomach, a dark purple west, a spiked bracelet on her right wrist and a spiky silver necklace on her neck.
"What in the world..." Lucy said with horror.
"Taste Ultimate Hell!" Juvia said wildly while twirled her tongue and showing devil signs with her hands. "What happened to Juvia-sama?!" Yukino said while Vidaldus laughed. "Rock of Succubus, is a Guitar Magic Spell that makes target transform and obey to my will, and makes them do whatever I want them to do!" Vidaldus crazily said.
Juvia then went towards Lucy and grabbed her dress, much to Lucy´s confusion. "Anything, even a catfight!" Vidaldus said hysterically, as then then Juvia tore her dress, revealing her breasts, much to Lucy´s and Yukino´s surprise and embarrassment and caused them both to blush.
"KYAAAAHH!" Lucy shrieked while her face was as red as a tomato. "LUCY-SAMA!" Yukino screamed while blushing madly. Lucy then tied the rags of her dress to her chest to cover it.
"More, more! Even when I am beyond satisfied I want more!" Vidaldus commanded as then Juvia turned her arm into a whip of Water and then whipped Lucy´s butt.
"Take this, this, this, this and this!" Juvia yelled while she whipped Lucy.
"LUCY-SAMA, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE INTO THIS KIND OF THINGS!" Yelled Yukino while blushing even redder when before while having hands on her face to cover them from the erotic scene before the White Haired Celestial Spirit Mage. "I AM NOT INTO THIS KIND OF STUFF!" Yelled Lucy while she secretly enjoyed the whipping.
"Dammit, Pisces attack her, but do not harm her!" Yukino commanded the two giant fishes, as she didn't want her friends to be harmed while she did nothing, which then Juvia sent a wave of water at the pair of giant fishes, as it sent them to the ground.
"Oh no! I forgot that Pisces weakness is water!" Yukino said as then Pisces went back to the Spirit world. "EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE FISH?! WHAT KIND OF STUPID LOGIC IS THAT?!" Lucy yelled.
Vidaldus laughed crazily. "Don't worry, because more and more are in store for the three of you, as much better and better is coming for you!" Vidaldus said.
At the same time, with Natsu and the gang...
"I don't wanna sound negative, but I say we split up. If we encounter more of those Quinto Raven guys, we can be annihilated as the same time." Gray said to the others.
"I agree with Gray-san, if we split up, the chances of being attack will decrease to a safe level." Simon said as they then got into a hallway of three paths.
"Then we shall split up. Me and Sho, Gray and Simon, and Natsu goes alone" Erza said. "Erza, make sure to be alright, as I don't want my mate to get hurt." Natsu said with concern. "Don't worry, I shall handle the situation, as I won't be taken down." Erza said.
"Ok, Happy´s in that path, keep going until you see a door with a kitten on, that is Millianna´s room, where Happy is." Simon said while pointing the left hallway, which Natsu ran at rocket speed into. "THANKS! I AM COMING, HAPPY!" Natsu said as Simon and Gray went into the middle while Erza and Sho went to the right one.
At the time, at the Council...
"THIS IS MADNESS! If we use the Etherion, we will kill many innocent people, which would make people question the Magic Council's actions and see it as nothing but a corrupt, greedy and power-hungry government! Do we really want people to lose their Faith in the Magic Council?!" Yajima yelled, which the other Council members agreed, as Siegrain´s idea could kill even the innocents in the Tower.
Siegrain sighed as he then took a breath, as the next words would be something the others could absolutely not believe.
"Zeref." Siegrain said without any emotions. "Huh?" Michello said. "What does Zeref have to with this?" Belno asked. "The man Jellal is trying to revive in the Tower, is the most powerful Dark Mage that ever lived, Zeref, the man who changed the world forever." Siegrain said, much to the other Council member´s horror.
"WHAT?!" All of them screamed except Ultear and Siegrain.
"RESURRECT ZEREF?!"
"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"
"IF THIS HAPPENS, MORE PEOPLE THAN ETHERION KILLS WILL DIE!"
"That does it, I am voting to use Etherion!" Leiji voted, which then the others did. "It seems as if it is time, time to use Etherion to prevent Zeref from coming back to the world!" Siegrain said.
Back the Tower of Heaven, Jellal looked at the check board. "Well, it is about time. In the past, I made a vow to bring Zeref back from the dead, as it was the Promise to the Future." Jellal said.
Back with Natsu...
"HAPPY! ARE IN HERE?!" Natsu shouted as the Pink Haired Dragon Slayer kicked the doors into to Millianna´s room as he then landed on the floor and noticed Happy flying towards him.
"Natsu! I am so glad you are here!" Happy said while the blue cat hugged Natsu with anime tears from his eyes, which Natsu smiled back, but their reunion got interrupted.
"NOOOO! I won't allow you to kidnap Kitty!" Millianna said as she and Wally stood in front of them. "You guys are from the Casino!" Natsu said as he got into battle position.
"Don't worry, we shall finish this quickly, in a Dandy fashion." Wally said and then transformed his hand into a gun and pointed it at Natsu.
"If there is one "Dandy" thing you can do..." A voice said from behind Wally and Millianna and grabbed their necks.
"It is to stay away from the right people´s battles!" The voice said, and then he slammed their heads together, knocking them down the floor.
Natsu saw the man who did it. He was a man with short brown hair, green eyes, a blue t-shirt, brown pants, a red belt, white shoes and black arm warmers. He also had a x-shaped scar on his face.
"Who are you? Are you a member of the Quinto Raven Guys?" Natsu asked him, who then responded in a laugh. "What's so funny? Are you stupid?" Natsu asked him. "Sorry, I am just so glad that I finally meet you, the infamous "Void Knight" of Fairy Tail. I had my eyes on you for a while. But now to introduce myself. The name´s Mario Carras, one of the members of Quinto Raven." Mario introduced himself.
"Dammit, why did you interfere...?" Wally said as he and Millianna slowly goy up. Mario simply responded with a smirk as he then pointed his hand to them.
"Well, you two would only ruin the fun. Now, be gone!" Mario said as he then used his Magic to make green marks appear on the duo, which then resulted into an explosion.
"Explode Markings!" Mario said as then the duo got sent out the room, as Natsu and Happy watched in horror.
"What kind of Magic is that?!" Happy shouted terrified, as then Natsu gritted his teeth and then ran towards Mario, as he then coated his foot in darkness and attacked Mario.
"Abyss Dragon´s Talon!" Natsu said as he kicked Mario in the face and sent him outside the room, sending him to the wall.
Mario fell onto the ground with some bruises, as he then looked into Natsu's eyes, who looked at the brown-haired man with cold eyes.
"Well, it seems you are as strong and cold as people say you are. I am looking forward to fight you." Mario said as he got into battle position.
"Don't be so sure. I am going to kick your ass to the next town. What the hell are you thinking of harming your own nakama?" Natsu said as he recalled what Mario did earlier. Mario simply smirked. "Since when was that the most important thing in a battle?" Mario said. "Don't be so freaking stupid!" Natsu said as he ran towards Mario, while Mario made a torpedo of Green energy and sent it towards Natsu.
"Exploding Torpedo!" Mario said as then sent it towards Natsu, who then coated his forehead in darkness. "Abyss Dragon´s Sword Horn!" Natsu said as he headbutted the torpedo, erasing it from existence.
Natsu then landed on the ground, got in stance and he then gathered his Magic. "Dark Make: Blades of the Night!" Natsu said as he made a barrage of darkness swords in a star formation, and then sent them at Mario.
Mario simply made a shield of green Magic Energy as the swords hit it, it exploded into pieces. As the smoke covered the area, it slowly disappeared and then showed Natsu and Mario staring at each other in silence.
"Well, it seems that while the info that your Abyss Dragon Slayer Magic seems to erase Magic was correct, your Molding Magic seems not to do the same. But it would be rude if you don't know the Magic I use, which is Exploding Magic." Mario said.
"So, it makes things explode, huh?" Natsu said and his body was surrounded an aura of darkness. "Because mine does so as well." Natsu said as he prepared to fight him.
Mario responded with a grin as he touched the ground, which then similar marks from Wally and Millianna appeared as it then started to glow.
"Minefield: Blossom Scattering!" Mario said as the ground then exploded in a field of explosions, which sent Natsu to the air
"Dark Make: Night Bubble!" Natsu said as he covered himself in a bubble of darkness to shield himself from the attack, which then once the explosion calmed down, the bubble disappeared, which made Natsu see a hole was made.
"NATSU!" Happy shouted as he flied to Natsu, grabbed him and then carried the Pink Haired mage in the air.
"Dammit, that guy is tough." Natsu said, after which he saw Mario standing down there while smirking.
"Happy, fly me down to him! I'm not going to have him win this battle!" Natsu said to the blue cat, who responded with a `aye!´
As Natsu and Happy dived towards Mario, he gathered Explosion Magic and then sent it at Natsu, who countered with a roar of darkness.
The battle of the Tower of Heaven is on!
Back with Ur and Sophia...
"Crimson Spikes!" Sophia said as she made red ice spikes appear on the ground, which Ur dodged with no trouble. "Ice Make: Shard Blow!" Ur sent shards of Ice that were sharp as knives at Sophia, who made a shield of red ice to protect herself from it, as once the shards had disappeared, she then turned the shield into a red spear of ice and then sent it towards Ur.
Ur countered by making a wall as thick as a mountain in front of her, as she raised her hands in the air. "Ice Make: Winter Rain!" Ur said as she made sharp icicles come from her hands which were sent into the air and then fell down on Sophia, who countered by making a sword of red ice to swing it away.
"Well, it seems that the rumors are true, as you are the legendary Ice Mage who froze Deliora years ago." Sophia said.
Ur had her eyes shadowed as she looked down on the floor, as the mere word "Deliora" was enough make Ur think of the day she sacrificed her life to save Gray and Lyon years ago, as she didn't want a new generation of Mages go to waste.
Ur then raised her head and looked at Sophia with determined eyes. "And I am not going to leave this world again, as I shall make sure to live a life with the man who rescued me from that pain, and make sure I won't do the same mistakes again." Ur thought as she then looked at her right leg. After she was being freed from Deliora, her body returned to normal including the leg she had before Deliora ripped it off.
"It´s not very wise to admire your opponent, since it only encourages them to defeat you." Ur said as she gathered her Ice Magic. Sophia simply smirked in mockery.
"Why do you say such things, when you are about to die?!" Sophia said as she made a dragon of red ice.
"Blizzard Dragon!" Sophia sent the red ice dragon at Ur, which the latter responded by making three large swords of ice in the formation of a triangle, slicing the Dragon in pieces.
"Ice Make: Trinity Snow Blade!" Ur said as she then made an arrow as big, long and wide as trees and then prepared to attack. "Ice Make: Frost Arrow!" Ur sent the arrow at Sophia.
"Ice Rock Dome!" Sophia said as she then made a dome of red ice to protect herself from the attack, which then shattered into pieces.
Once the attack was no more, Sophia smirked and made a sword of red ice as she then jumped into the air then towards Ur.
"TIME TO DIE!" Sophia shouted as she then stabbed Ur, much to Sophia's delight and joy. The mere stab made it silent as if sound itself had died, Sophia only smirked more. But then it suddenly disappeared once the "Ur" started to have cracks spread around her, which then exploded into a pile of ice shards.
"What?!" Sophia said shocked as then the real Ur was then over her with a barrage of ice spikes behind her. "Ice Make: Ice Fall!" Ur said as she shot the ice spikes at Sophia, who then made a shield of red ice to block it, as Ur landed on the ground and then put her hands on the floor.
"Ice Make: Frost Impalement!" Said Ur as she the then long spikes of ice came from the ground, stabbing Sophia everywhere.
As Sophia panted as blood came down the floor, she could only think of what happened.
"Dammit, I can´t believe not only she made an Ice Clone in such a short time, but a strategy as well! She isn´t the Legendary Ice Molding Mage for nothing!" Sophia thought as she then realized something.
"Dammit, what am I doing?! I should have listened to her, if I am encouraging her, I only plan to make my own grave!" Sophia thought.
"What´s the matter?" Ur said, taking Sophia out of her thoughts. "I hope I didn't surprise you too much, because the next surprise shall end you!" Ur said as she prepared her Ice Magic.
With Natsu, Happy and Mario...
"Abyss Dragon´s Talon!" Natsu said as he kicked with a darkness coated foot, with Happy flying and carrying him. Mario blocked it by sending a pillar of green energy at Natsu, which Natsu erased with his darkness and then kicked Mario in the face, sending him into a line of pillars, shattering the pillars to pieces.
As Mario got up, Natsu was suddenly in the air while Happy carried him with his fist in darkness.
"Abyss Dragon´s Iron Fist!" Natsu punched Mario in the stomach, sending him across the room, but before Mario landed on the ground, he made a line of small orbs of green energy.
"Detonation Line!" Mario sent them at Natsu in the shape of beams, Natsu used his Molding Magic to make a bubble of darkness, which Natsu covered himself and Happy from the explosions from it, sending them away.
As Mario landed on the ground and once the bubble disappeared, Mario then made small green marks around Natsu and Happy.
"Burst Dots!" Mario said as then a violent torrent of explosions surrounded Natsu and Happy.
"Not done yet!" Natsu said as he then crossed his hands in an x-shaped pattern, which Natsu then gathered black smoke which he had with his hands wide.
"Abyss Dragon´s Star Striker!" Natsu sent orbs of darkness from his hands, which twirled in the air as they struck Mario, sending him to the ground with a great deal of pain and damage.
As Mario violently landed on the ground, Mario slowly got up as he coughed blood.
"You are one tough bastard I see." Natsu said as Happy let him go, putting him down the ground. "Don't agree with your enemy, you are soon to witness my true power." Mario said and then charged his Exploding Magic, but suddenly got interrupted.
"Welcome you all to the Tower of Heaven. I hope you all are having a great time, as you are already playing." Jellal´s voice said as it echoed the entire Tower of Heaven with Jellal´s Telepathy.
"Jellal?! What does that asshole want?!" Gray said as he and Simon where fighting against an owl-like man named Fukoro.
"As I want to inform you all, that Etherion is soon to be unleashed upon the Tower. As those who don't know, Etherion is a Magic Weapon of mass destruction, capable of erasing a country."Jellal said, striking horror and terror at the same time to everyone in the Tower of Heaven.
"WHAT?! HE CAN'T BE SERIOUS?!" Ur screamed, while Sophia smirked. "Why are you smirking?! Don't you know that both you and your friends are in this Tower?!" Ur yellled, which then Sophia laughed, much to Ur´s confusion.
"Don't act dumb. We in Quinto Raven are prepared for anything like this, so it doesn't matter if me or anyone else dies, as long as I die in battle, I don't give a damn about this!" Sophia said, making Ur grit her teeth in rage, as Sophia thought nothing of her comrades.
At the same time with Juvia, Lucy, Yukino and Vidaldus, the Hard Rocker had his eyes shadowed as he trembled.
"Jellal-sama, why didn't you tell me before..." Vidaldus said as he shook while looking down. He then raised his head to the air.
"THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I IMAGINED! I AM SO GONNA LOVE THIS! THIS IS TRULY THE ULTIMATE HELL!" Vidaldus shouted as a maniac, louder than before, much to the duo of Celestial Spirit Mages from Fairy Tail´s women disgust.
"You truly are a sickening man." Yukino said, much to Vidaldus´ delight. "Don't be so pessimistic, because the real show is now about to begin!" Said Vidaldus and then started to laugh like a maniac.
Back with Natsu, Happy and Mario...
"Etherion will be fired in twenty-seven minutes, so enjoy until then!" Jellal said as he then cut off.
"So, this is what gonna happen? Not that I mind." Mario said, much to Natsu´s rage and Happy´s shock. "WHAT?! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?!" Natsu screamed. "Since when are "friends" the most important thing? What does that have to do with this battle?" Mario said, as Natsu simply responded by running towards him, coating his foot in darkness.
"Since the very start and every battle has to do with friends!" Natsu said.
Back with Ur and Sophia, Sophia laughed as Ur had her Ice Make Magic gathered around her. "You truly are a fool, Fairy Tail. Why does anyone need friends when you are respected and feared, as anyone with enough greatness will be respected even after death!" Sophia said.
"You are wrong." Ur said with her eyes shadowed. "Huh?" Sophia said. "If you don't have friends, you can't have them spread your adventures and courage, as well the story of the great times you have. That is why friends are so important." Ur said, as then Sophia charged with red ice in rage.
"SILENCE!" Sophia yelled while charging at Ur.
Back with Natsu, Happy and Mario...
Mario made a shield of Explosion Magic to protect himself from Natsu´s attack, but Natsu managed to erase the shield and then kicked him the face.
"I will not let my friends die here and now, not ever!" Natsu said as he sent Mario to a pillar, shattering it.
Back with Ur, as Sophia was charging with her Dark Rigel Magic as the red ice covered her arms, while Ur simply gathered Ice Magic in her hands, which Ur then put her hands in front of her, as Ice then appeared in a line, which resulted in chains appearing from them.
"Ice Make: Chains of the Frozen Cage!" Ur said as she sent the chains of ice at Sophia from her hands, sending her to the air. "I shall not die here, or let my friends die here as well, it is the Promise to the Future." Ur said with determination.
At the same time, with Erza and Sho...
"Damn that Jellal, I can't believe him!" Sho said in anger as he then went down on his knees. As tears threatened to come from his eyes, Erza put her right hand on Sho´s left shoulder.
"Sho, don't despair, because I promise I will defeat Jellal with all my heart." Erza said, but before she could say anything more, Sho then trapped Erza in one of his cards with his Card Magic.
"SHO!" Erza shouted as she was inside the card, which Sho held while his eyes were shadowed. "I'm sorry, Erza-nee, but I can't forgive Jellal. I shall personally take that son of a bitch down, even if it means I am going to die!" Sho said as he then ran in the hallways as his ears were deaf from Erza´s shouting.
They eventually ran into a room that had Japanese style decorations in it. But what made Sho stop on his tracks was a woman. She had green eyes, long pink hair and wore a kimono with red markings, as well carried a katana with golden decorations on it. Her name is Ikaruga, the leader and strongest member of Quinto Raven.
"Well, it seems the tide is smaller than I thought, as I thought a larger one would come." Ikaruga said. Sho simply grit his teeth. "I don't give a damn of who you are, but I am not letting you stand in my way!" Sho said as he threw his Magic Cards at her, which Ikaruga smirked as she cut the cards in half.
Sho couldn't believe what he saw, as he never saw anyone take down his cards. "Impossible..." Sho said, but before he could attack again, Ikaruga was behind him, as Sho´s chest was suddenly cut. As Sho fell down on the ground, still breathing but heavily wounded, Ikaruga slowly walked towards him, as she then raised her katana in the air, ready to stab his head.
"You made a mistake of facing me. Please do those who don't think of you a favor, which is to die." Ikaruga said, as Erza didn't want to believe what was happening.
"No, I can't let this happen, I won't let it happen again!" Erza thought and then images of Rob before he died appeared. "I don't want anyone to die, not now, not ever!" Thought Erza as then the Mate Mark on her back started to glow, with the body glowing black while the eyes glowed red.
As the Ikaruga´s sword got closer to Sho´s face, the card that trapped Erza suddenly glowed, and then a bright flash of golden light appeared as it then died tied and loud clash of blades was heard, echoing across the room.
As the sound of blades echoes, Sho was silent, as instead of seeing the blade of Katana of the strongest member of Quinto Raven, it was his redheaded childhood friend, Erza.
As Erza blocked Ikaruga´s sword with her sword with Ikaruga´s katana, the Pink Haired Swordswoman smirked evilly as she jumped back.
"Well, well, what do we have here? The infamous Titania herself, Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail." Ikaruga said, which the redheaded knight simply responded by pointing her sword at the leader of Quinto Raven. "If you think your words make me wanna surrender to you, you are wrong, as I will take you down as I will do with Jellal after you." Erza said, which Ikaruga simply responded by a laugh while covering her mouth with her left hand.
"What´s so funny?" Erza asked. "You are so funny, Titania. As foolish as you are beautiful, I, Ikaruga, the Leader of Quinto Raven from Dead Head Caucus, have never lost a battle since the foundation of Dead Head Caucus." Ikaruga said.
"Don't be so arrogant. I have both been defeated and won many battles in my life, each giving me strength to fight the opponents I face to protect those who are dear to me. But this battle is not one of those I will lose in. That is my Promise to the Future" Erza said.
Ikaruga simply responded with a smirk.
"Well said from you, Titania, as the battle hasn't even begun, and yet you impress me with your words. But don't expect it to stop me from making me cut off your limbs from your cold, dead corpse." Ikaruga said twistedly.
End of Chapter 19.
And that's it for chapter 19, god it was long. I wanted to make this over 9000 words, as promised I would make this chapter longer and more epic than the last one. I also took the opportunity to add more members to the Trinity Raven, as well changing its name to Quinto Raven. Speaking of which, like Elfman´s fight with Sol during the Phantom Lord arc, I am going to skip Gray´s fight with Fukuro, as we all know the ending of that. And before any of you say anything hysterical such as "You **hole! You killed Millianna and Wally," no they are not dead, only unconscious.
As originally wanted to update it on September 29th, altajir95´s birthday, who also came with the idea of the two members of Quinto Raven, which is Mario Carras and Sophia Zervas, as well as their Magics, Mario´s Explosion Magic and Sophia Zervas´ Dark Rigel. I would once again apologize to him.
But as for The Naughty Tales fo the Dragon, I am going to make sure to update soon as possible, which I am not sure of yet.
