Raphna's POV:

  "We can hear you..." Natsu mumbled. 

  "Destroy all six lachryma...at the same...time..." Gray groaned. 

  "And the lucky one gets to make Zero kiss the ground... Right?" I asked softly. 

  "Eighteen minutes left...we've got to hurry...we have to protect Charle and Wendy's guild!" Happy said, determination lacing his tone.

  "Th-This connection won't last...much longer...I've  transmitted a map into all of your heads...each...of the lachryma...is marked with a number...before the connection breaks...each of you decide...on a number..." The Pegasus said. 

  "Number one!!!!" Natsu announces.

  "I'll take two," I said after Natsu, looking up to him. 

  "Three," said Gray.

  "I'll take number four!!!...please don't let Zero be there..." Lucy whined. 

  "I'll handle number five," Erza says. 

  "Erza!!? You're alright now?!" Natsu

  "Yes.. thanks to a certain someone." Erza said, through her tone, I could tell she was smiling.

 "Then I'll-" another voice said.

 "You'll take number six." Erza interrupted.

 "There's someone else there? Who was that just now?!" Natsu shouted. 

 We waited for Erza's response, there was nothing. Natsu shouted for her again and the same result fell. 

 "...We lost connection..." Gray muttered under his breathe.

 "Hibiki really was at his limit..." Lucy sighed.

 "No matter, we know she's safe, that's what matters." I said trying to muster the strength to get up.

 "At any rate, it looks like we have six people! Let's go!! Whoever runs into Zero will have to take him out!! Everyone has their own stations to, so you can't expect backup!!" Happy announced. 

 We all nodded and helped each other up as much as we could before rushing to our own stations. Before Natsu could leave, I pulled him aside to give him a little pep talk, feeling in my gut that with is luck, he'll get to fight Zero.

 "Tsu, You're the strongest person I know and I know that if you run into Zero, you'll beat him because that's just how you are. Please come back to us with the least amount of wounds possible. I like you better that way." I giggled.

 He let out a soft sigh as his cheeks tugged his lips upward, "You know I can't make any promises about that but I can promise I'll be back before you know it. Don't worry too much about me. We don't have long so go hit that lachryma with the most powerful spell you have. I know you have one locked away in ya since it's probably forbidden but I think this would be an acceptable time to use it since you're not using it against someone." 

  "Yeah true. Be safe Tsu." I smiled as I gave him a hug and turned around to find the room I was assigned to go to. I had Kage search the area to find it faster and sure enough she found it quite quickly. I did my best to limp to it as fast as possible. 

  I got there with 10 minutes left to spare. I stood starring at the lachryma trying to think of the best way to destroy it. many spells went through my head but none of them seemed strong enough. I used some on a wall to see how strong they were against them, how much my spells would damage them. in my normal state, they wouldn't do much and as much as I didn't fell comfortable doing it, I had to go god mode and I believe the the strongest spell on my belt right now would be Shadow God's Viper. 

 I checked the time. 3 minutes left. I had to make sure it was enough, there is no time for mistakes. 

  "Kage, God mode please."  I said quietly.

  "ₐᵣₑ yₒᵤ ₛᵤᵣₑ?" She asked with concern glossing her tone.

  "Don't have much of a choice. I'm...I'm not strong enough on my own and we both know it. Now help me." I said preparing my body to go into this state.

 "ₐₛ yₒᵤ wᵢₛₕ ᵣₐₚₕ." Kage muttered, knowing well it was the only option. I have gone so long without really having to use this part of my magic, mentally, I was holding back though the image of innocent people dying cause I'm a coward flashed in my head and booted me into being ready.

  I felt the familiar aura began to feel my veins starting at my feet and slithering up to my waist to my finger tips and straight for my head. I knew by now that my eyes began to glow a bright white as I blinked and raised my arms that were now swarming with shadows up to my elbows. 

  "Shadow God's Viper." I said sternly in a haze.

  I felt the shadows from my forearms rush off me and straight to the area of the floor where my arms where pointing. Moving my arms down, facing my hands in opposite directions with my palms facing the floor then slowly bringing them together with my finger tips facing the floor. I brought my fingers upward followed by shooting my arms up as well. I turned my wrists so that my fingers pointed where I wanted to aim and shot my left hand which was on top forward. As I moved my hands, a giant snake made of shadows immerged from the floor and lunged forward as I shot my hand forward. The snake ended up making a hole straight through Nirvana. 

  "Yeah, this works" I thought to myself with a smirk. I checked the time again and there was a minute left. I cast my spell again and waited till the timer hit 0:01 to launch the snake forward. The longer I kept the snake up, the weaker I began to feel. The 10 seconds left on the timer felt like it would never it one. At this point I was shaking and doing my best to keep my arms up. I was weak and badly wounded before this, going into god mode can only do so much.

  Finally, the timer hit 0:01 and with my last bit of strength I had, I threw the snake forward.

Hey so I know it's been a while and none of ya'll wanna hear my excuses so I'm just going to apologize. I'm sorry it's been a while and thank you for being patient.
