(Erza's P.O.V)
"You'll pay for that Titania!" Selena dashed at me with her twin swords with magic blazing out of them. Still in my Clear Heart Clothing, I easily blocked her attack and jumped behind her. "I will not lose to you Selena! My comrades need me to win!" I slashed with my blades at her back continually. Selena screeched from the pain until she used her wings to slap me away.
"If that's how you wanna play Titania, then I'll play as well! Demon Hearts: Minions of the dark come to my aid! Take the pure soul of this fairy and feast on her flesh! BRING ME THE HEAD OF THE FAIRY QUEEN!" The ground exploded around Selena with a foul stench coming out of the holes being dug. Hands came out of the soil as they pulled themselves out to escape the ground. Six people in total stood up with armor on them as well with weapons.
"Erza Scarlett, meet my minions of the Dark. The Six Undead Knights. They were once knights of the Light until being killed by Zelroth himself. Since they were one of the strongest to fight against my master, I took their corpses and gave them a 'new' soul. One that worships the Dark Ones. Defeat them then I will admit defeat and you win the battle. Fail, then you will be my seventh knight to join the undead."
My fists clenched from seeing this monstrosity of a sight. Forcing the dead that only wants to sleep in peace is fighting for what they once fought against. "How could you do this to them! Making them something they aren't, that's dishonor to you and the Dark Ones! I'll free them from the prison you've put them in, and will defeat you once and for all!" Selena cackled at me with her pupils glowing bright green. "Knights...kill!"
Immediately, the Knights shot at me faster than I could run. I quickly dodged one attack after another but was slashed at my shoulder. "Requip! Heavens Wheel!" My Clear Heart transformed to my Heavens Wheel Armor. The Knights surrounded me with swords and shields at their side, waiting for my attack. "Dance my blades!" The swords appeared around me spinning in a circular cycle with the blades pointing at the Undead Knights. Seconds later the blades shot out to the soldiers one after another. Dust was being picked up from the speed of my swords shooting to all of them. When the dust cleared, many blades were lodged into the Knights bodies, without them moving.
"Is seems that I defeated them." I mumbled to myself, huffing for air from the exhaustion washing over me. "Ah-ah! They aren't that easy to kill Titania. They're already dead! So how can you kill something when it's already dead?" The Knights picked themselves up, pulling out my swords as they readjusted their armor. "No...that's not possible!" I summoned my swords back to me, this time, with my two one-handed swords. "Very well then, if I must defeat them this way," I went into battle stance, as the Knights did as well. "then fight to the death we will!"
I attacked the biggest one out of the six.
The knight was fully armored with a long sword giving off a blue aura to the hilt. He must be the strongest knight here.
"Trinity Sword!" I slashed my swords in a delta formation at the Knight while he walked to me. The knight put his arm up in defense as the spell hit him. The steam cleared to show that the magic didn't even faze him. "What!?" I was hit behind by another knight to see a female person. Her armor seemed to be made out of stone in a skeletal way. Her weapon was a humongous blade almost bigger than her body. And was the fastest out of all of them.
"Is the Great Titania easily being defeated by my minions? I was hoping for a show to watch!" Selena sighed, leaning on a wall while looking at her nails with a bored expression. I grew more annoyed at Selena and her attitude. Forgetting the Knights, I dashed at her with my swords filling with magic. "Pentagram Sword!" I screamed with my sword drawing the shape of a pentagram at Selena. Before the spell hit her, another knight stopped it with a wave of his hand.
This knight had a turtle helmet that showed his skeleton face and also had a long sword. He must have stealth.
The Stealth moved to fast for my eyes to see him pull out his sword as he slashed my stomach. I was hit and hit again by the back with the Fast knight hitting me on and on. "HAHAHA! Show her no mercy Knights! Continue the torment!" Another knight came forward to me while I was was stuck to the ground by gravity. This was another woman with chains attached to her armor. Her sword showed a dark crimson red aura. The knight that doesn't give mercy to her enemies, a killer.
"Ghh...Requip! Armadura Fairy!" My most powerful armor came to me with my Fairy Sword in hand. A new sense of power settled in my skin, flowing with my veins. The killer knight swung her sword to mine when I shook the other Knights off of me. "I won't lose! For the sake of Fairy Tail, you will not win!" With every once of magic and strength inside of me, I casted my spell as I dead-sprinted to her.
"FAIRY BURST!" The knight didn't have time to move when I pierced her armor and her. When I landed the hit, an explosion of magic and debris went back for miles. The dust came back into the air showing off a foggy atmosphere around the area. My magic was depleted at this point to where I couldn't move. I was stuck in place where I lied on the dirt with my armor scattered and busted. My eyes stared down without blinking, hoping to see if I defeated the Six Knights. In the distance, I could see people standing from the corrupted explosion dusting themselves as the one in front shook the dirt off his shield. Counting six people in total, I knew my spell didn't defeat them. The knight with his shield stopped my spell from settling onto them, his job is to stop powerful spells with his shield.
"No..." I whispered feeling tiny tears escape from my eyes. Selena spawned in front of me, kneeing down next to me. "Maybe if you defeated the Squire first, then you would've won." Selena got back up and walked back to her minions. "Kill her. I'll take her corpse when you're done." The Knights walked forward with weapons out to end me. I tried to get back up even with my exhaustion keeping me down. The Strong Knight placed his foot on my forehead putting all his weight on that foot. I could feel a sword on my neck that was going to decapitate me. I closed my eyes with one final breath, ready for the end.
"Sky Dragon...ROAR!" The wind blew fiercely sending the Knights back where they stood themselves back up. My eyes slowly opened to see a small figure standing between me and the Undead Knights. "Ice Make: Lances!" Lances made of ice shot out of the ground beneath the Knights hitting them one after another. I saw another figure with the small one without a shirt. "Fire Dragon...ROAR!" Fire swiped the area destroying the lances and putting the soldiers on fire. The last figure came with his scarf swaying in the wind. "Ah! Glad we made it in time Erza. Thinking we would let you die without a fight?!" Natsu said grinning, not taking his eyes off what was in front of him.
"M-minna..." I tried again to haul back up to fight with them. Wendy came forward and helped me in a sitting position. "You fought wonderfully Erza, now let the guys take care of that while I heal you." Wendy hovered her hands over my chest and began the healing session. "Wendy. You defeated a Dark One?" Wendy stayed silent while she continued the treatment. "How did you know I needed help? I didn't speak through the pendent." Wendy went over to my shoulders. "We saw the explosion. I found Natsu running around until we found Gray unconscious. For awhile after I healed them we've been fighting with Sterling. That is until we felt and saw the explosion. We knew that was you from sensing the magic. The three of us immediately came to come and help you, and I'm glad we did before you were killed." My exhaustion faded when Wendy came to heal my head. "Where are the exceeds?" Wendy shrugged her shoulders. "Happy just grabbed Carla and flew off. They might be off looking for Lucy so we know where she'll be."
"Fire Dragon...Wing Attack!" Natsu grabbed Stealth and set him a blazed as he threw him upwards. "What are those Erza? I've never seen someone that could continue fighting after much damage affected to them." Wendy finished healing and just stared at the fighting as I did. "They can't be inflicted with pain, because they're dead."
Wendy shot her head at me in surprise. "D-dead!" I nodded as I got back up. "They're called The Six Undead Knights. Long story short she brought them back from the dead and they have no choice but to fight the darkness. So now we have to free them from the shadows so they can rest in peace." Wendy's head slightly dropped as if remembering a memory. "Something wrong Wendy?" Wendy shook her head and brought herself up. "Let's set them free Erza. So they can move on once and for all!"
Wendy and I joined the battle as Gray froze the fast knight in place from making the ground turn into ice. "Requip! Heart Kreuz!" My normal attire returned with my original sword in hand. Selena looked furious seeing my comrades fighting for me. "Interference! Why didn't the Dark Ones kill you people already!?" All of us stood in a line together as one. "Because not even power can stop us from protecting what we love most!" Gray shouted, gathering his magic to his hands. "And we do what is meant to be done! From freeing a lost soul, to ending the Darkness!" Wendy said next, the air spiraling around as her aura gave a warm, comfortable feeling. Natsu's body was on fire, having the eyes of a monster. "And no matter how strong, how many Dark Ones there are, we'll always kick their asses! Because we're Fairy Tail!"
Selena lost the dark face and looked like a normal girl, realizing something. "Nash..." Selena cried with her hands over her heart. "What did you do to my brother!" Selena's expression held fear and worrisome for her brother. "Brother?" I said to myself. Natsu still held his stance. "I defeated him. He's nothing but little rocks." Selena gasped as she fell to her knees. "Nash! Nash tell me this isn't true!" Selena screamed at the ground as she continued to call for her brother. All of us stood there, watching the pitiful sight. Selena looked back up to us no longer with green eyes, but now with midnight purple pupils. "KILL EVERY ONE OF THEM!!!"
The Six Knights dashed to us with swords up preparing to end us. Team Natsu stood their ground, with our hands clasping together like a line. Our magic started to come out of us in front of us, becoming one big spell. With all of us using our magic, we started the spell. "Unison Raid!" We all said in simultaneously as the Knights closed in on us.
"Fairies True Hearts!"
We released the spell onto the Knights as the brightness from it blinded us. The sound was much worse than my last spell of using Fairy Burst. It sounded like a million bombs put into one adding another million dynamites to that. When that spell settled, there was a ringing in my ears as I slowly sat myself up from the ground.
Everything...was destroyed. The debris was gone with the few tress standing was only a bunch of charred wood. The Knights were no where to be found as Selena was the only one standing, still having the purple eyes. I inspected my surroundings with Gray and Natsu lying on the ground but still conscious while Wendy was knocked out.
"I lost...everything. You took my brother, my minions, my friends, but your Light Goddess will still lose this battle. My master is stronger than a thousand mages. Master will kill her and bring her head to you to show how weak the Light is. And when that happens, you four will be my next Knights. You're far stronger than any solider I have ever seen!" Selena limped over to Wendy with her twin blades out. Natsu tried to get up with Gray following him. "Leave her alone you bastard!" Selena ignored Natsu's words, grabbing ahold of Wendy's neck.
"STOP IT!" I yelled at Selena as she turned her long blade into one of the sharpest daggers I have ever seen. "If she means so much to you as a family member, then you will feel my pain of losing my brother!" Selena put the dagger in the air, about to stab Wendy in the throat. "WENDY~!!!" The three of us shouted in unison.
Selena suddenly stopped the attack as she gasped for air in pain. Wendy was dropped roughly as Selena gripped her throat. Her body suddenly began to turn into stone with tears dropping out of her normal green eyes. "Master...but why?"
Selena's body collapsed when she was nothing but a rock. The pieces of her body were only debris of the defeated Dark One. But how?
Wendy opened her eyes while rubbing them as she yawned. "Guys...what happened?" Wendy asked to us fully awake. All of us but Wendy sighed from relief to see her okay. "Selena was defeated, but how is that possible?"
"Nat-zu! Nat-zu!" A voice in a distance hollered to gain attention. Natsu was back up on his feet as the rest of us were doing the same. "Happy!?" Natsu shouted back to his exceed. Happy landed with Carla going to Wendy checking on any injuries. "Happy! Where did you guys go?" Natsu asked. Happy and Carla looked at each other. "We saw Lucy. We know where she is and the last time we saw her....she was torturing Zelroth." Carla informed with true fear in her eyes. "I've never seen Lu-shee like that before! It was like that wasn't even Lucy we know."
"She was torturing him!? No, Luce wouldn't do that. You must've saw something else!" Carla and Happy shook their head quickly. "We saw her Natsu! That wasn't Lucy that was fighting! It was someone else that likes to hurt others!" Carla told to him harshly. "LUCE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO A PERSON! Even if they were evil!"
"That's enough Natsu! Carla, Happy where did you see Lucy?" Natsu grumbled under his breath while hiding his mouth behind his scarf. "She was near that Great Lake that all of the Aria citizens said was a pond. She's there so we better-" The sky became pitch black like ink was splattered. The light from the sun and lampposts couldn't even brighten the darkness. "What going on?!" Wendy squeaked, hiding behind me. "This...is Dark Magic!" I glanced over where the lake was to find the darkness spiraling down with the darkness above being sucked down to it as well. "Lucy needs our help! Come on let's move!" I started to run with Natsu and Happy in the lead as we ran to go and aid Lucy.
"Hang in there Lucy, we're coming!" I said to encourage myself.
