Broken Bonds

Ch.3: Invasion attack!

Natsu's P.O.V.

I was still mad about that creepy ass pervert trying to touch my best friend. My body was feeling shivers more than usual and my ears were ringing. The town was getting colder by the minute. I could smell the blood of people slaughtered in all directions splashed on rocks. I had to cover my nose it bothered me. A loud explosive bang catches my attention immediately, as I dropped her fingers. "Did you hear that?!" I asked her in disbelief with caution. "Yeah! It sounded like it came from that way!" Lucy pointed to the townspeople who were shouting and speeding off. They were all dying one by one even the elderlies.

"Come inside please! It's much too dangerous outside!" Tina yelled opening the inn and I rushed in taking her and Happy back to our room. I clenched my fist the area was crawling with those mangy beasts. We managed to escape but I was badly cut up, even my pants and vest wore torn. I had to protect her from them no matter what. I vowed in my head plenty of times. "I wonder how the guild's doing? Are you alright Natsu?!" She asked me worryingly and I didn't answer. I wasn't fine but I couldn't be weak.

"Where's Erza, Gray, Wendy and Carla?" My blue cat questions concerned. He left us in search of our friends. I was feeling worried for them myself but we couldn't leave now not like this. "I'm gonna be okay!" I hurriedly gave her reassurance to my well-being. Lucy smiled sheepishly, and I can tell she was at ease. I remembered how uncomfortable she looked when we saw that guy. 'I wonder why he tried to get close to her? It doesn't make sense.'  I think quietly sitting on the bed we are sharing.

"I'm a use the shower. No peeking! You could use one too." She said grabbing some clothes and I scoffed, laying down thinking about the situation. "Bathings such a hassle! Hey, I've seen you naked enough to be sick of it anyway."  I reply and she pouted huffy. "Do you have a death wish?! Jerk!" She slammed the door and I sighed, women were so confusing but we got bigger problems.

Back at the springs

Erza's P.O.V.

"CARLAAA! WENDY! ERZA!" Happy flies to us and I was surprised to see him. We finished our bath but I heard a sudden commotion in the distance. I almost ran but someone stopped us from exiting. "Who are you?! What do you want with us?" I asked seeing a cloak entity before me and Wendy. "How amusing it is for you to join me in the slaughtering of other life forms! It's futile to run surrender while you're still alive! I'm from the Blood Cult Guild representing the sword of death Miyami Glacia! Pleased to meet you fairies!" The woman bowed revealing white blue streak hair and disdain blue eyes, pale skin as she walked barefoot and pulled out her ice land. "REQUIP!" I commanded transforming into my clear heart clothing and face her head-on our swords clashing.

"Oh, to simply answer your question I'm here to kill you and retrieve E.N.D you will not desecrate the holy remains of the spirit goddess!! Your guild is already dead as we speak!" She punched me in the stomach. I was caught off guard but jumped back, in wonderment of who she was referring to? I had no time to think as I rushed slashing her shoulder but she was fast. "AHHHHH!" I screamed drop kicked to the ground from my back.

"ERZA-SAN!! Sky dragon's roar!!" Wendy attacked but was sent flying to a rock. She was chained to it, by another individual. "Pain...pain... you won't interfere heehee!" Another one of them showed up, whipping Carla and Happy knocking them unconscious. The person reeked of bloodshed as golden chains hung from their wrists.

"Haji Lore member of the blood cult guild representing pain heehee!" The foe spoke with a deep tone strangling the wind mage as I stared in horror. She cried out as her skin was torn leaving flesh burns with her clothes.

"REQUIP: RED-BLACK TWIN BLADES!" I said now in a different armor, and cross blades with her. Upon impact she seemed just as strong as I was. This was troubling. She flew into the air and I followed. "The mighty Titania shame you're meeting your death bed so soon!! Frost of the heavens scatter!!" The woman commands as ice thorns appear striking me down. I felt them slice through my legs, and arms. "Requip! Heavens wheel armor!" I soared in the sky and align two hundred swords. They attack her at once but she remained unharmed. My eyes widened as she throw them back at me. "Dance of the heavens counter!" 'SHE DEFLECTED MY SWORDS?!' I voiced in my mind in shock of her strength. I struggled to stand losing blood my vision blurry.

"You're weak and useless like a piece of meat! Does it hurt? Well, does it?" I hear her words as she stomped on my injuries as I cry out it hurt. I lost consciousness feeling defeated.

Third Person P.O.V.

Fairy Tail

"IRON DRAGON'S ROAR!!" Gajeel counter attacked the gun machine guy. The blood cult members dispelled all the magic from their bodies. "IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!!" He dodged their dark spells protecting Levy instantly. Master Makarov was knocked to the wall from the bombs. "MASTER!!" Everyone called out and joined in the fight. "SOLID SCRIPT: FIRE!!" Levy raised her hand in the air forming the word but the canon pointed towards them. "I am the blood cult representing gun smoke and you will die here and now." Guns stated emotionless and the guild exploded causing rubble and destruction. Mirajane and Elfman were ready to help but they were pushed hard to walls.

"WATER SLICER!!" Juvia rushes forward creating a single wave of multiple blades that resemble scythes but she got blown backwards hitting the wall. Cana's cards were crushed to bits and team shadow gear was passed out. Gun pointed his weapon and shot up the floors as they all were rendered useless. The vicinity was in shambles. This was a devastating time for the once bright and colorful guild.

"We have discarded their members. We retreat and make our move to capture the demon and woman." The woman with silver hair and ruby red eyes informed her subordinates as they leave taking them all as captives back to their territory.
