Erza was sent crashing floor after floor until she hit the roof hard, landing on the floor of the 3rd floor. After regaining her senses, she could now have a clear look at her opponent. He has long blond hair, a open vest Natsu style, and baggy pants.
Judging by the wind he used earlier, Erza changed into her Purgatory Armor. Using the conjured spiked club, Erza swung horizontaly at the man, but he bended down, evading the mace. He then placed a hand on Erza's stomach « Flame Palm » heat emited from the palm, and a burst of flames came out, bruising Erza.
« Urg… ! » Erza was thrown back, before landing on her feet. A magic seal appeared in front of the man's extended hand.
« Flame Burst » a vicious trail of flames came out of the seal, pretended to consume Erza. Before the attack can reach her, the S Mage of Fairy Tail was in the Empress of Flames' armor, holding the matching sword.
The man's eyes widened at the speed and the reaction time of his foe, and before he could react, Erza swung her sword at his chest.
« !... » The man recoiled from the attack, a gash on his chest. He counter-attacked while throwing his right arm back, his hand tight into a fist. Water forming around it, taking the form of a blue fist, but larger.
« Water punch. » He throwed his fist forwards. But this time, Erza transformed into her Sea Empress armor before the hit landed, water forming around her sword, taking the form of a sharp blade.
She slashed her sword at the man, but he predicted that, a sword which emited ice collided with Erza's. This started to freeze her sword, so she leaped back to gain distance.
« I hope that's not all that you got Titania, it starting to get boring be to see you beaten. »
Erza grited her teeth « I advise you to not underestimate us. I know they can handle you, so this time, I can concentrate on you. And I suggest you to be aware of what will beat you down »
Her adversary tilted his head to the side, trying to understand what she meant, before his eye widened, and turned around. A pletora of swords aimed directly at him coming full speed !
Wendy and Carla pursued the hooded figure through the backward corridor. During the race, the figure took out they're hood, revealing they're a woman with blue eyes and bond hair tied into a ponytail. She's fast, but it's not a problem with Carla, she took Wendy and flied the black mage. The female extended her arms to the side, and the walls began to crumble, like a giant finger is pressing on them, creating a number of sharp debris toward the girls.
« Watch out ! » Wendy yelled, and Carla tried to dodge through the attack. Even if she evaded the most dangerous ones, the littles ones still posed a threat, but Wendy used her wind to push them back.
The girl only smiled at the response. She wanted a challenge, and it seems she will have it, although they never stood a chance against her. This time, she put both of her hands up, and throwed them down. A large portion of the roof target began to collapse towards Wendy and Carla. Their eyes widened at the enormous rock menacing to crush them.
Carla slowed down, allowing Wendy to attack. She concentrated magic to her hands, and slashed the chunk « Sky Dragon's Slash ! ». Sharp winds cut the rock in a X shape, allowing it to pass by Wendy and Carla without injuring them. As they can see what's through the attack, they saw the female leaping toward them. She put her hand toward the girls, before throwing it back.
Carla felt paralysed, before being attracted forwards. The female used her other arm to violently punch Carla on the stomach. The Exceed's eyes became white, before hitting the roof, then the ground, unconscious.
« C-CARLA ?! » Wendy screamed at her friend before rushing at her to apply her heal. But before she could reach Carla, a force pushed her towards the wall. « Kyah ! »
« It's just you and me now, none of your friends can hear you now, and even less help you, although it wouldn't change anything » The female said with a smile.
The look on Wendy's face changed, it's rare to see her like that, her eyes now showed anger, and a burning wish to crush her enemy, the enemy of her guild, her home.
Lucy's head rang a little after her head crashed into the wall. When she regained her spirit, she found herself in a large circular room. Not long after, the black mage stepped in the hole, without his hood, he was a man with spiky blond hair.
« Man, why am still dealing with the weak one ? » He shrugged
A thick mark appeared on Lucy's head, while yelling « Who's weak ! »
« You. It's not funny to fight without having the chance to see all you have. I know you, Lucy Hearthfilia, you're not really know for your overdimentional power »
He said with a tint of taunt and joke, shaking his head
« Okay, you wanted this, gate of the Archer, I open thee, Sagitarus ! » The man in a horse cosplay appeared and saluted Lucy
« How can I assist, mochi-mochi ? »
« Shoot him down ! I don't wan't to hear him any longer ! » Sagitarus immediately shot at the man. Hearing his mistress angered was a serious misconduct. He shot multiples arrows made of light. But before they could reach their target, the man disappeared, and found himself at Lucy's back.
Lucy turned her head, eyes wided, but too late. The man had his fist back, lightning forming into his fist
« Thunder Punch » The fist is aimed at Lucy's cheek. It's a direct hit, and Lucy is throwing back « Kyaah ! »
The black mage didn't stop here. He extended his other palm forwards, the same lighning forming « Discharge ! »
The trail of lightning was coming towards Lucy at great speed. But she landed on her feet and ready to counter-attack. « Gate of the Maiden, I open thee, Virgo ! »
A golden light shined from the key, and the maid appeared. Without receiving any orders, she knew what to do. She threw a hand into the floor, and sprang a massive rock to block the attack, and it worked. The lightning completely stopped.
The man gritted his teeth, and then smiled. It's gonna be more interesting than he thought, but it will not be enough.
« Virgo, restrain him ! »
« Understood, princess. » Virgo said expressionless, as usual, and permited her chains to dig into the floor, right to the feet of their foe.
« Ha, you're stuck now. Sagitarus ! » The spirit took the opportunity to shoot a single, but more powerful arrow directly at the man's chest. But his reaction is different than predicted.
« You fool ! » Instead of being surprised, His smile only grew bigger. « Discharge ! »
His body emited lightning, and since Virgo's chains are conductibles, the electricity was conducted through the chains into the spirit herself. Virgo was stunned by the attack, and Sagitarus's arrow was stopped by another Thunder Punch.
« Virgo ! » Lucy didn't have the time to be worried about Virgo. Her enemy prepared a other attack, more powerful and dangerous.
« You won't be able to escape this time. » He reared his fist back once again, a dangerous amount of electricity flowing through, taking the shape of an orb « Overcharged Sphere ! » He threw his fist, the dangerous sphere launched directly toward Lucy. She cannot summon another spirit,and don't have the time to dodge
« Roar of the Lightning Dragon ! » A trail of lightning passed by Lucy, colliding with the Overcharged Sphere. The collision between the two attacks, creating a yellow explosion.
Lucy narrowed her eyes from the explosion, and turned back to see her savior. And, surprisingly, her eyes remained narrowed, but for a different reason, as if she was not happy to see him « Oh... it's you. »
