Sam woke to the ground quaking, rocking him out of his slumber.
On instinct he forced himself to his feet, a sudden pain erupting in his back.
The ground shook once more as he collapsed to his knee's.
A splash of glowing purple bile erupted from his maw, a sizzling sound coming from the floor as a result.
Sam looked to the door, stretching his arm across the room, his metal hand denting the doorknob as he turned it.
He then retracted his arm, pulling himself toward the door, ultimately crashing into it.
He let out a pained groan, forcing himself to his feet.
Stumbling out of the room Sam used the wall to keep himself standing, slowly climbing the steps to the main floor of the guild hall.
The ground rocked once more, far more violently than before. Nearly sending Sam to the ground once more.
Catching himself Sam stretched his arms to the doorway of the guild, pulling himself outside.
Elfman staggered as Sam collided with his back, turning to investigate.
"Woah easy kid! You shouldn't be out here" Elfman said in concern, helping Sam to stand fully.
"What's going on?" Sam asked in a weak voice. Looking up.
His eyes flickered to a glowing purple, the ground shaking once more.
"FIRE!!"
everything slowed down for Sam, as if the world were about to crash down.
His mother was rushing forward, mid requip. What looked to be a guild hall on legs stood in the bay, a large cannon like barrel pointed toward the fairytail guild.
A sudden rush of strength flooded him, the spots between each metal plate on his arms and legs having begun to glow bright purple.
Elfman felt a sudden force rocket past him, the ground beneath his feet cracking and shattering.
Erza finished requiping into her adamnatium armor, however she was knocked off course. Nearly falling.
Her eyes widened in shock, her expression quickly turning to one of pure fear.
"SAM WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Erza shouted frantically.
Sam crashed to the pavement below, his metal feet cracking it.
His eye sockets burst into a purple glow, metal seeming to form along his face.
The tips of his fingers sparked to life in a purple glow, bringing his hands up to face the phantom lord guild.
A large purple magic circle formed beneath him, causing Erza to grit her teeth, beginning to sprint once more.
He roughly placed a hand on the magic circle, causing it to glow brightly.
"REINFORCEMENT!" Sam shouted the ground beneath him shattering.
He stood on the magic circle as the large magic cannon fired.
Just as Erza was about to reach Sam, she was blown back by a shockwave, sending her sprawling.
The blast had collided with a clear purple barrier of sorts, trails of the magic energy from the blast leaking around it.
The barrier cracked around the edges, causing Sam's eye sockets to flicker.
He stood up as the barrier cracked further a purple outline overtaking him.
From his back sprouted six mechanical arms exactly like the two attached to his torso, only much larger.
The barrier shattered, causing Sam to grasp onto the blast with his two original arms, as well as four of his new ones. Using two of them to press into the ground behind him.
He let out a pained gasp as the blast grew closer, his finger tips starting to glow orange.
"This was a poor decision..." Sam muttered to himself, watching the blast grow closer with each passing second.
The blast suddenly ceased, resulting in the remaining force it had erupting outward.
Sam's eyes flashed brightly as the arms that had been holding the blast back were blown apart, shards of metal and glowing purple blood flying out from him.
Sam was Sent sprawling backward, using the remaining pair of arms on his back fo catch himself.
His arms let out a mechanical creek before he collasped, the ground shaking ever so slightly.
"Sam! Look at me hun!" Erza said as she slid up to the boy, gently lifting his head up.
"Well would you look at that, it seems the boy has given you all some time to think things over" Jose said with a chuckle over the guild hall's speaker system.
Erza grit her teeth, tears threatening to fall from her eyes as she glared daggers toward the phantom lord guild.
"TO HELL WITH ALL OF YOU! I'LL COME UP THERE AND TAKE CARE OF YOU ALL MYSELF!" Erza cried out in fury.
"YOU WERENT GETTING LUCY IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT NOW YOU'VE JUST PISSED US OFF EVEN MORE!!" Natsu roared, flames appearing around his fists.
Jose let out an audible growl over the speaker system, his frustration audibly mounting.
"YOU HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE YOU GET A SECOND HELPING OF JUPITER! MAKE YOUR DECISION QUICKLY!" Jose yelled through the speaker in retort
Hearing a mechanical whirr Erza looked back to Sam, finding him trying to stand up.
His gigantic arm like appendages whirred and creaked as they tried to balance him.
Sparks and blood flickered from the broken limbs, causing Erza to hold Sam tighter.
"Just rest Sam, you're hurt badly" Mira said softly, sitting next to Erza, ignoring the glowing purple puddle beneath her.
"What on earth were you thinking?" Erza asked in a mortified but quiet tone as Sam collapsed further.
"I...wasn't" Sam admitted simply, his breathing being weak and labored.
"I'm...sorry" Sam apologized meekly, small trickles of glowing blood leaking from his mouth.
"Don't apologize Sam...just save your strength okay?" Erza said softly, gently stroking his forehead.
"I've got you"
