Lucy's P.O.V
"Hello sis."
"Althia... why?" Whimpered Tris beside me. I could only imagine the heartbreak she was going through.
"Adonis! You bastard!" Natsu yelled, jolting me awake from my sympathetic thoughts as he charged at Adonis.
"Hmm... what a pleasant surprise?" I watched as Natsu got flung aside by one of Adonis' wings.
"Don't worry, I've got him. You guys take care of the others!" Natsu shouted.
"Don't have to tell me twice, flaming flamingo!" Gray shouted back, already charging at Otis. Erza was charging at a red headed boy, Jacques was his name. A girl with the same red hair who looked a lot like Jacques was smiling creepily at me.
Well, I know who my opponent is. I ran at her.
"Ready to be taken down, Blondie? "
"I could ask you the same question," I smirked at her self confidence before pulling my whip from my belt.
"Oooo, what are you gonna do,whip me?" She smiled.
I slashed my whip at her, but she dodged, jumping back. I lashed out again, which resulted in her dodging again.
"Get up, Tris. We need you!" Natsu yelled from somewhere.
In a sudden, swift moment, I was flying through the air and my whip flew out of my hand. My back collided with the wall of a mountain and the wind got knocked out of my chest.
The red head was walking closer, her right hand out, palm facing me, fingers pointed upward. Her fingers started to curl, and I felt a force tighten around my neck, making it difficult to breathe.
A foreign voice entered my head, telling me to stop. That it was over. That I was weak, useless even. It told me to give up. Still gasping for air, I looked down at her, a maniacal grin spread on her face. Somehow I knew that she was the voice in my head.
" N- NEVER!" I coughed out and reached for my pack with my keys.
"Open, g-gate of the l-lion, Leo!" In a flash of golden particles, Leo appeared below me.
"Lucy! You okay up there?!"
"No, she's pinning me to the wall with her mind!" I choked. Leo started to walk over to her.
"Regulus!" He said, streams of golden light shooting out at the red head. She dodged, causing her to lower the hand that she was using to pin me to the mountain, letting me out of her grasp. Before I could reach the ground, Leo caught me in his arms.
"Hey gorgeous. Just stay here, I will take care of her."
He put me gently down on the ground and walked back over to her.
Using the power of his ring, he attacked her head on. She continued to dodge his attacks and started to cause the ground around us to shake, bringing up rocks and small boulders to her aid. They wizzed past Leo, and he used his arms to protect his chest.
A large boulder was over Leo's head.
"Leo!" The boulder crashed down onto Leo, who returned to the celestial world in a puff of golden shimmer. I stumbled over to my whip.
She shoved me back again before I could reach my whip and I fell back onto the ground.
From somewhere close by, I could hear the sound of running water. What river had Tris said was in Tartaurus? The Phlegthon?
If there was water nearby, thay meant I could summon Aquarius. I pushed myself up and ran in the direction I had heard the river.
"Where are you off to?" The red head said, running after me.
I picked up the pace and started to see the river only feet away. She was closing in on me, so I had to make this fast. I fetched Aquarius' key out of the pack and dipped it in the water.
"Open, gate of the water bearer: Aquarius!" Aquarius magically appeared, and just in time too.
"Why did you have to summon me right now?! I was snuggling with Scorpio!"
"I'm sorry, but I needed you."
"Fine. I'll make this fast. And if you ever try to summon me in boiling hot water again..." she complained, filling her vase with the water. She released it in spirals of orange-ish water, which crashed down onto the red head.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" She wailed, her skin turning dark red as the water burned her. I watched terrified, as she slunk to the ground, crying out in agony, before passing out.
I started to walk back to the middle where we had started out. Erza and Natsu were done as well, walking towards me. Tris was carrying Althia's body, tear stains covering her cheeks.
A bruised Gray was walking back from a seemingly dead Otis, smiling weakly.
Suddenly, a beam of blinding light shot out at Gray, piercing him in the chest. He turned to Tris before falling onto the ground.
" GRAY!!!!"
