Chapter 3: Cruel Fate Part II

Chapter 3: Cruel Fate Part 2
"I want them to live on. I'll die if it's for them." (Lucy)

Normal POV
In the forests around Settia Village...

Here's a short recap...

A cloaked figure stood on the railing of the second floor. 

"Who are you!?" Natsu asked, more like, shouted.

The figure smirked and took off her hood. The cloaked figure was a she, and she had long black hair until her hips, and intimading red eyes. 

"I'm this guild's Guild Master, going by the name of 'Soul'," she introduced. 

"'Soul'? What a wierd name," Gray commented, snickering.

Soul just smirked and took out a pitch black dagger (even the blade is black) with red patterns and a long black katana.

She chuckled. "Well why don't we get this party started?"

Everyone got into their battle stances.

"Gladly," Erza smiled slyly.

Soul jumped down from the railing and plunged her katana on the wooden floor of her guild, creating a black shockwave that took the rest by surprise, disrupting their concentration. Taking advantage of their state of surprise, she dashed towards Erza. But due to Erza's high alertness, they clashed blades, each side not willing to back down.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu dashed towards Soul with a flaming fist. Swiftly, Soul pulled out her dagger and blocked Natsu's punch, astonishing the two mages. "Dark Wave!" Another shockwave came from the katana, knocking back both Natsu and Erza.

"Ice Make: Hammer!"  

Soul sliced the air above her, narrowly slicing Gray's attack in two. She smirked at the flabbergasted ice mage and with recordbreaking speed, dashed towards him. "Ice Blade: Seven Strike Dance!" Ice blades formed on Gray's elbow and arm, and he ran to meet Soul. The two clashed, until Soul dashed through him and sliced his ice blades. Soul turned around to attack Gray again but was stopped by a punch to her cheek.

"What the-!?"

She staggered a bit before glaring where the attack came from... but found no one. Then a shadow appeared behind her and kicked her forward. She rolled on the floor before skillfully getting back on her feet. She sensed a presence on her left and sliced it, barely cutting Rogue's chest. She smirked at Rogue's surprised face before following up with a roundhouse kick that threw him far back.

Then swords started raining around her. She raised her katana and parried the swords heading her way. She dashed towards Erza. 

"Heaven's Wheel: Trinity Sword!" Using two of her swords, Erza shot a V-shaped projectile towards Soul, who tried fighting it with her katana.

"Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" Flames enveloped Natsu (who was not far from Erza) and he charged towards Soul. Since Soul was occupied and had no time to try to counter it, she took the hit and was thrown into the wall with such force that she created a mini-crater. Dust enveloped her.

Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Rogue stood in front of Sting and Lucy protectively (Lucy being in the back). Their eyes narrowed as they saw the dust clearing and heard their enemy's sinister cackle. 

"Ahahaha! Good, good! You brats are interesting! I haven't felt this excited for a long time!" she smirked and narrowed her eyes at the group. "Sadly, this will all end. You're all gonna die."
