Natsu landed in a room with foot deep water, rafts covering the entire water. He stood on a raft, his cheeks puffing out and sagging over as his motion sickness started to take effect. "Urk…ugh…." He groaned, swaying over to the side, almost falling over. The hooded figure who had chased after him threw their hood off, revealing themself a black haired male to be about in their 20's; slim, well built with brown eyes.
"Oh, is the Salamander sick?" The male said tauntingly. "If you haven't guessed, we are the elite force of mages who brought down your precious Titania. I am the water mage, Byron."
"I'll-I'll get you!" Natsu said through a sickened voice, unable to move.
"I'd like to see you try…" Bryon chuckled before sending a sharp, dense, wave of water towards the defenseless Natsu.
"Natsu!" Happy flew into the room, quickly grabbing Natsu by his back and lifted him into the air, almost removing the motion sickness.
"Happy!" Natsu grinned over to his blue Exceed before glaring over at Blake. "You hurt Erza, huh? I'm gonna make you pay for that tenfold!" Happy flew over to Blake as Natsu cocked a flaming fist back, throwing forward once he reached the water mage, "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"
"Water Wall!" Byron threw his arms forward, creating a dense wall of water to protect himself from Natsu's fist; Natsu didn't let up, he clenched his teeth, adding more power into his fist, growling as he attempted to push through, "GRR….!"

On the top floor, Erza was clashing with an elemental mage, one who had the ability to shift their element from fire, to ice, to wind, etc. The male had long blonde hair, an open vest with baggy pants; they were silent, however. Erza requipped into her Flight Armor, dual wielding swords as she dashed towards the male with increased speed due to her armor. Erza swung a blade, but the male dodged it effortlessly. The male then formed a blade of fire in his arms, swinging it at Titania, but she swiftly dodged, quickly running across the floor for another assault.
"Fire wall…" the male said silently, several walls of fire appearing around Titaina, surrounding her. The walls then collapsed on her, causing the male to smirk. "Too easy…" From the smoke the flames had caused, Erza lung out of the smoke in her Flame Empress armor, an armor that lowered the effectiveness of any flame by fifty percent, meaning she still took damage. Erza swung her red flaming sword at the figure, but he jumped back, landing on a table, "Sloppy still, I see…" the male shook his head, chuckling slightly, "The elemental master, Mike, which is I, will show you your weakness, Titania. We've beaten you once, and we'll do it again."
"Not while my friends are here, you won't!" Erza lunged at Mike, changing into her Giant's Armor, which increased the effectiveness of the uppercut she gave Mike, sending him through the roof and landing on the ceiling; Erza jumped up, facing Mike with a glare.

Wendy and Carla were in hot pursuit of the figure floating in the hallway. Thanks to Carla's flying, she did not have to worry about Wendy stepping on a tile and possibly being injured. The figured found a way around this, as they held a finger in the air, causing chunks of the wall to fly towards the two. "Carla, look out!" Wendy cried as Carla started to maneuver around the chunks of wall. Unfortunately, there was not much room to maneuver for the female Exceed, in the narrow hallway. The figure removed their hood, showing their face. It was a female with blond hair tied into a ponytail and blue eyes, giggling at the pair chasing her.
"Come on, you can do better than that, can't you, Fairy Tail!" She brought her hands together, sending two large chunks of the wall over at Wendy and Carla.
Wendy's eyes widened, and she immediately puffed her cheeks out, "Tenryū no Hōkō!" She opened her mouth, sending a sky blue hurricane towards the incoming chunks, breaking them into harmless rocks that bounced off the two. Wendy let off a sigh of relief, "That was close…"
"Not bad!" The female suddenly floated in front of the two, holding her hands out, "Force Push!" A powerful force pushed Wendy and Carla back, Carla losing her grip on Wendy as a result as Wendy skidded on her back across the carpet.
"Wendy!" Carla's wings reappeared as she flew towards Wendy.
"Stay put, kitty cat~." The female held her hands out, pulling chunks out of the wall to form a wall of rubble to stop Carla from getting to Wendy.
"C-Carla!" Wendy took in another deep breath, but a force pushed her face first against the wall, causing her to cough violently, "Agh!"
"You're playing with me now, "Wendy"," the female said, smirking as she threw her hand to the side, slamming Wendy into the wall, causing her to cry out in pain, "You can heal right? Oh wait…Sky Dragon Slayer magic users can't heal themselves…" She pretended to sound disappointed at she flung Wendy into the ceiling, watching Wendy fall to the ground struggling to move, writhing in pain.

Lucy crashed into a large circular room, quickly rolling onto her feet as she glared at the one who sent her through the wall. A male with spiky yellow hair walked into the room, shaking his head slightly, "Oh…I would be the one who gets the short end of the straw…"
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Lucy reached for one of her keys, keeping a steady eye on the male in front of her.
"I mean I WOULD get the weakest of the bunch," The male sighed once more, shaking his head again.
"Oh yeah!?" Lucy held one of her keys out forward, "The gate of the ram, I open thee! Aries!" A bright white light shone from the tip of the key, but the male quickly responded by flash stepping in front of her, swinging his leg at Lucy's arm, causing the key to fly onto the ground, and Lucy to hold her hand, "W-What the?!"
"I hope you can keep up…" In a flash, he vanished, only to appear behind Lucy, "Thunder Palm." He calmly placed his palm on Lucy's back, sending a high voltage shock through Lucy's body, causing her to yelp out in pain before the voltage knocked her into the ground.
"W-What was that…?" Sparks danced around Lucy's body for a second before she stood up slowly, pulling out her whip. She aimed her whip at her opponent's legs, but the male moved too quickly, arriving in Lucy's face once again, a powerful thunderbolt striking his body as the force blew her back to the ground. "GAH!"
"Oh really? I expected more from the Celestial Spirit Mage of Fairy Tail…" The male raised his hand, a large ball of electricity forming, "One shot otta do it…"
"Ice Make: Lance!" Several crystallized lances slammed into the male's side, the surprise attack sending him into the wall.
"Gray?" Lucy looked up in the direction the lances came from, a shattered window. But, the figure standing in the window wasn't Gray. It was a brown haired male wearing blue jeans and a leather jacket, along with a pair of sneakers. Lucy's eyes widened when she laid eyes on this figure. One she knew too well... "Luke…"
"Aye…" The male with brown haired spoke, shaking his head at the downed blond, "Don't tell me this is all your training has gotten you, Lucy. Eh, Amigo?"
