I laid on the floor, too hurt to get up. Natsu stood behind Erza panting.
"O-Oi...Are you sure you should be moving about...? Those wounds..." Natsu panted.
"This guy did that to master..." Erza whimpered.
"How very sad...For the necks of the Salamander, the Shadow Thief, and Titania to be handed to me..." Aria laughed.
"The one who dared to dare touch the old man...this was this guy, right?" Erza asked.
"Erza..." I whimpered.
"If I am going to be fighting against the mighty Erza...Even I will have to take this fight seriously." Aria said taking off the bandages that covered his eyes. "Come at me. Erza." He demanded as his eyes glowed. "I have activated the airspace of death "Zero". This airspace consumes all life.
As his spell hit, both me and Natsu screamed. The pain was unbearable. I felt the life being taken out of me.
"Magic that consumes life...?" Erza asked. "Why do you find it so easy to steal people's lives away?!!!! You bastards!!!!"
"Now. Let us have some fun." Aria smirked.
Erza charged at him. Aria prepared the spell.
"I wonder...can you survive this airspace?" Aria asked.
"Erza!!!" Natsu and I called.
The airspace was shot and Erza sliced through the spell.
"Wha-?! No way...She's slicing up the airspace...wait-" Aria was cut off, literally. By Erza.
"Master could never be defeated by the likes of you. That tale will never appear in your saga." Erza growled as she looked down at Aria.
After everything stopped, Erza began to faint. Natsu ran to her and caught her.
"Erza..." Natsu muttered.
"Impossible!!! Those piece of trash from Fairy Tail managed to take out the entire Element 4?!! Where's Gajeel?!!" We heard Jose yell through the intercom.
"I'm right here master. The Element Four were wiped out? Well, if they were beaten by trash, that just makes them trash as well. I guess you should have just sent me out to take them on in the first place." We heard Gajeel.
"We have a present for you Master." A female voice said.
"Lucy...?! But how?" Jose asked.
"Never underestimate the nose of two Dragon Slayers." The female voice said. Suddenly there was a large thud. Like someone got hit. Then coughing that sounded like Lucy.
"Lucy..." I whimpered.
"Looks like she's alive to me. Though the big guy she was with her might well be dead." Gajeel laughed.
"As expected from the strongest man and woman in my entire guild. Good work Gajeel and Scarlet." Jose said. "All you Fairy Tail members out there!!! We have succeeded in capturing Lucy." 
"No way." Happy cried.
I growled as I at least tried to sit up.
"Out first objective has been achieved." Jose said as we heard Lucy screaming in pain on the other side. "I'm sure you all heard that. We have but one single objective remaining. To slaughter the lot of you disgusting brats."
"Why those...!" Natsu growled.
"Natsu..." Erza whimpered.
"Release...your...power...there is...still...an untapped power...sleeping inside you..." she turned to me. "You too...Raphna...you both...have the power...believe in yourselves...make it through and awaken...it...this time is right. Lucy...the guild...protect them...Now, go guys!!! You two will be the ones to surpass me!!!!!" Erza cried.
After hearing her, it gave me determination to stand and fight. Blocking all pain, I got up on my feet and stood tall. Natsu did as well. I could see flames coming off his body. Shadows coming off my own. We both raced off in total anger. Soon we reached the room they were keeping Lucy in and Natsu punched down the wall. Every looked back at us.
"I knew it...I recognized your smell." I heard Gajeel.
"Salamander...!" Lucy called. Lucy was hung on the wall by her wrist and ankles
Out of pure anger, Natsu attacked Gajeel, sending him flying to the other side of the room. We both began attacking everyone in sight.
One girl stood alone. She had a wicked smirk on her face.

I stomped toward her. As I I attacked people out of my way. She must be Scarlet. The other person who found Lucy. I thought.
She laughed and walked toward me. "You must be the Shadow Thief. I've heard so much about you."
"And you are?" I asked as I stood in front of her.
  "I'm Scarlet of Phantom Lord. Phantom's owe Ice Dragon Slayer, also known as the strongest girl in the entire guild!! It's such a pleasure to finally meet you. Now, onto the fight?" She asked.
  "You're on Ice Princess." I smirked and raised my arm. I shot it forward. "Shadow God's Cannon!!!!" I yelled and a cannon of shadows attacked her.
  "Ice Dragon's Scales!!" She yelled and an ice shield blocked her.
  I growled. "Shadow God's Bellow!!!" I yelled and broke her shield. 
  She skit backwards as she blocked with her arms. As she stopped, she threw her hands down and ice shards came flying at me. "Ice Dragon's Claws!!"
  "Shadow God's Guard!!" I yelled as I raised my arm and Kage blocked me. After the shards of ice stopped I charged after her. She came toward me as well.
  "Shadow God's Arm!!"
  "Ice Dragon's Iron Fist!!" We both yelled as we attacked. We were both sent flying backwards. I landed on my side. I watched as Natsu and Gajeel had at it. They were both fighting with all their might.
  I smiled but my moment to myself was soiled. Scarlet stood above me with her foot on my chest.
  "Never take your eyes off your opponent." She said as she pressed her foot onto my chest.
  I groaned in pain. "Sh-Shadow God's Travel!" I muttered and my body became a shadow. She looked confused. She looked around for me but I was no where to be seen. I snook up behind her and attacked.
  "Shadow God's Arrow!!" I yelled and kicked her back, making her fall to the ground. I smirked. "Take your own advise."
