All Gajeel could see was her, his girl crying out for him, and he ran. Things were not going his way however, as the tall man beside her began making his way down from the platform on which Avery sat. Gajeel snarled, his hand morphing into a sword, he wasted no time extending his arm towards the man. Sypress put his hands together, and Levy recognized the movement of maker magic. At the end of the stairs, Sypress formed a stone war hammer and brought it across Gajeels sword. Gajeel hissed in pain as his iron cracked, and he retracted his arm. A bruise was already forming on his forearm.
Gajeel gritted his teeth, his eyes flicking from Avery to Sypress. "Levy." The bluenette jumped slightly, startled by the use of her name. He didn't look at her, "Please.... Save my daughter." Gajeel would deny that his voice was pleading, desperate even. Levy steeled herself and nodded, looking to the exceed beside her who also nodded. Gajeel kept his eyes on the mage before him as Lily gripped Levys shirt and headed for the raised platform. Sypress at the girl and cat, bringing his hands together again to make. Gajeel quickly charged him, sword at the ready. The blade made contact with a stone shield, Sypress glaring behind it.

Lucy wasn't sure how she did it, but she had. A small puddle of water sat against the stone wall, leaked from outside. She had some how got the key to touch it before the phoenix had reached them. A wall of water now shielded them from the bird of ash and smoke, which dissolved on contact. Aquarius glared down at the blonde. "A muddy ashy puddle?! You stupid girl!" Lucy huffed. "Aquarius please! We have to take these guys out! Lucy shouted.
Loke turned to the other spirit. "Come on A, let's take them out in one shot." He said with a smirk. Aquarius rolled her eyes, but magic power began to swell around them. Ronan and Aerith stared wide eyed as water and light formed around the spirits. The power was immense, and there was no where to run in the small hall way. A blinding light, the rush of waves. Lucy and Natsu rubbed their eyes and looked at the scene before them. Loke and Aquarius were gone, and the god twins were unmoving on the wet ground. "Way to go Lucy!" Natsu crowed. Lucy grinned, "Lets tie them up and meet back up with Wendy and Gray."

Erza was impressed, to say the least. She was quick to requip, and this Vyra was just as quick with her words. Erza requiped into her Flight Armor, two blades in her hands. The letters around Vyra swirled, forming word after word and soaring towards Erza. She dashed forward, weaving through the words with speed. A sword formed in Vyras hand, made of silver letters, and clashed with the Titania. Vyra began to panic. At a distance she could take down anyone who crossed her, but close range battle was her weakness.
Vyra tried to deflect Erzas blows, but her grip on her blade was weak and her counter movements were slow. The metal word soared from her hand and with a single stroke, Vyra collapsed in front of the mighty Titania. Green eyes glared into brown as they both panted heavily. Vyra tried to send another word towards her, but Erza sliced, and the womans casting arm came clean off. She screamed, clutching at the bleeding appendage and writhing in agony. Erza requiped back into her hearts kruze armor, knocking the woman unconscious before following her friends upstairs.
