Fairy Tail: New Fairy

Chapter 79: On Two Fronts

At Tartaros, Erza was kept prisoner after being kidnapped by Crawford, who had betrayed the Council by allying himself with the Dark Guild.

Erza: !

Kyoka: Have you awakened? Erza looks to see her body on full display.

Erza: ! What is...

Kyouka: Welcome to Tartaros.

Erza: You say this is Tartaros?! Where's Mira?! And the chairman?!

Kyoka: The former chairman has joined us. After our plans have come to fruition, he will likely preside over the Council once again. You have fallen into his trap, and now you are our prisoner!

Erza: That's impossible! He would never betray his people!

Lots: If you actually believe that, you're even dumber than I thought. Lots spoke up.

Erza: You!

Lots: Guys like Crawford are easier to manipulate than you think. Even I was surprised by how easy he turned. Course, we'll still kill him after all is said and done.

CHANK CHANK

Kyoka: End this futile resistance. Those restraints were forged from magic-blocking ore. While they remain attached, you cannot use any magic.

Erza: Mira! Where is my friend?!

Kyoka: She yet lives. She will become this one's subordinate. But to do that, her flesh must be altered.

Erza: Don't do it!

Kyoka: Cease your cries. You have knowledge this one seeks. The location of Jellal.

Erza: !

Meanwhile, said individual was currently staring down the former members of Oracaion Seis.

Ultear: Meredy, please hide somewhere.

Meredy: There are five of them. I should...

Jellal: No. We can do this alone.

Racer: You don't think much of us, do you?

Angel: This upsets me.

Cobra: I get it. Doranbolt set us up.

Midnight: You intend to send us back to prison?

Jellal: Fugitives, sending other escapes prisoners back? Don't make me laugh!

Racer: We just got our freedom! Nobody's gonna steal it from us again!

Cobra: We'll kill you, both of you!

Hoteye: Hmm...As I have vowed to follow the path of love, I will refrain from battle.

Angel: Hoteye! Are you still under Nirvana's spell?!

Hoteye: Not at all. I truly am a being of pure love. I will do as Jellal commands.

Cobra: Hoteye, you creep!

Midnight: Who cares?

Cobra: Midnight!

Midnight: We all have our freedom now. That includes Richard. He has the right to choose for himself. My name is Macbeth! I will drive out any obstacle that stands in the way of my freedom!

Ultear: Then let's get this over with.

Racer: I'm already here! I got sick of waiting! Racer suddenly appears behind Ultear.

Meredy: Ultear!

Racer attacks, but Ultear uses her Arc of Time to slow down his movements, allowing her to easily evade Racer's attacks.
