Ur: So this is Tower of Heaven??
Cana: Looks like a clock tower.
Ultear: No this is just for show... the actual tower is covered by a fake exterior. The tower is made up of a giant lacrima that is designed to absorb Etherion.
All the people on the boat were confused except Ur. Ur already knew Magic Council's secret weapon.
Cana: What's Etherion??
Ur: It is a magic canon, the magic council's secret weapon. It is possible for the council to use that weapon here??
Ultear: They need a vote of members... I would have voted against it but I think Jellal might be able t pull it off.
Cana: Even if that is... we ain't leaving Erza here.
Ultear: Do you really think that those weaklings could have defeated Erza?? Erza came here willingly.
Gray: Erza is really that strong??
Cana: You will find it hard to believe but Erza is now much more stronger than Master.
Team Natsu was completely shocked when they heard that. They knew that Erza was strong but they never believed that she would be this strong. Though they believed what Cana told them but still all of them wanted to see Erza's strength.
~WITH ERZA~
Erza was being led by the group of her former friends. Sho, Simon, Millianna and Wally. They had tied Erza's hand with magic restricting cuffs but they don't know that it could never stop Erza's power.
Erza: So this is what Jellal ended up making??
Sho: Yes... this is his dream our dream. This will grant us freedom 'The Tower of Heaven'.
Wally: You would never understand this Erza because you were the one who left us here.
Millianna: Don't you feel regret Erza after you meet the people who you called friends before you betrayed them??
Erza: If that makes you feel any better... I never betrayed you guys. I have thought that you died and I even cried for that.
Simon: You are lying....!!
Erza: Why do I need to lie to you?? I get nothing from lying to you. No matter what I think that I am not going to change your mind so that I am going you give you an advice...
Sho: Like we need any advice from someone like you...!!
Erza: If you see a young man with black hair and red eyes then run away. He is not like me or you or even Jellal. He will kill anyone without any remorse and knowing that my sisters know that you took me so I only hope that they didn't notify him.
Wally: Like we should be scared of someone like him... Jellal would protect us.
Sho: So you stopped making friends and started making sisters?? So how do you plan to betray them??
Erza didn't answer and kept walking following them. She understood that Jellal has already brainwashed her old friends to make them like this... expendable pawns. Soon the five of them reached a room, Erza's captors pushed Erza inside the room.
Simon: Stay here Erza...
BOOM!!!!
But before they close the door a huge explosion shook the whole tower. Erza could feel familiar Magic presences and a small smile appeared on her face.
Sho: Simon, Wally go tell Jellal that we have brought Erza while me and Millianna will guard Erza.
Wally: Yes... it seems like her stupid friends have found this place.
After that Sho and Millianna stayed behind along with Erza to guard her while Wally and Simon went to report to Jellal. All of them knew that Jellal was a Wizard Saint so they thought no matter what no one will be able to defeat him. They knew about Axel and Jellal has told them that the council has sent him on an emergency mission so they should not worry about him.
~WITH THE RESCUE GROUP~ (A few minutes ago)
Lucy: So what's the plan??
Ultear: There is no point in hiding with such a huge group.
Ur: So frontal attack??
Ultear: Yes... Natsu hit them hard. You are the most destructive mage here.
Natsu: I am fired up...!!
Natsu starts to conjure magic power in his arms. Natsu jumped forward and hit the entrance with full power. The gate was completely destroyed and all of them entered the tower destroying any opposition they met. They were hurriedly moving upstairs. Ultear has already sensed Erza's magic power coming from upstairs. They followed Ultear's directions and soon reached a room.
Ultear used her Arc of Time to completely destroyed the door and saw Erza in cuffs and two other unknown mages who were in fighting stance.
Gray: Bastards...!!
Lucy: The guy has magic similar to Cana and the girl has some kind of whip magic.
Erza: Good to see you guys... you took your sweet time.
Erza rose up and started to release her magic power which scared the hell out of Sho and Millianna. They never felt magic power of this caliber. They have thought that Jellal was strong but they clearly saw that when compared to Erza he was nothing. Erza broke the cuffs and rubbed her hands since her hands felt a little bit sore.
Erza: Sorry but this is going to hurt.
Erza punched both Sho and Millianna in an unimaginable speed which knocked the air out of both of them. They looked at Erza and fear could be clearly seen in their eyes.
Erza: Cana... trap them in your cards.
Cana immediately threw two cards, one at Sho and other at Millianna, and trapped them inside her card. Both of them started to bang the card but nothing happened.
Ultear: Erza... this is my fault.
Erza: No... you might have manipulated him but you didn't charm him. He did all these on his own. Even if you didn't manipulate him he would have caused chaos since he thinks that he is Zeraf's chosen one.
Gray: Who??
Ur: You don't need to know.
Lucy: Ok.
Ur: We will give Jellal a chance but if he doesn't change then we will have to put him down.
Ultear: Erza let me fight him at least... I want to be the one to defeat him.
Erza: Ok... now lets head upstairs...
