Erza, Kanzaki, and Kagura
"Clash!!!"
The sound of swords rang throughout the ruined stadium as the two swordswomen continued their vicious battle.
Erza Scarlet and Noiress Blackout moved their blades at impossible speeds as their blades grinded together, throwing sparks up in their wake. Any normal weapon's expert would have thought a battle of such intensity would have been impossible. But Erza and Noiress weren't ordinary sword wielders.
Aqualas, Wendy, and Gray had long since taken their battle elsewhere. Leaving both Erza and Noiress alone to do their duel. And so far, things weren't looking too good for Erza. Erza had requipped to her Armadura Fairy, but even though it was one of her most powerful armors, it had already cracked from the strain against Noiress's quick eight blade, which she had already summoned and was swinging around with skilled ease using the shadowy arms on her shoulders.
a bloody gash was already on Erza's side, and she was panting due to the intensly tiring battle. Noiress smiled and chuckled at Erza's dillema. "My, my, Titania...you seem to be getting tired....perhaps you would appreciate a break?"
"Shut up!" Erza growled charging both her blades with power and charging at Noiress.
Noiress swung her blades and easilly knocked aside Erza's attack. She then moved quickly and kicked Erza straight in the face, causing her to tumble smash along the ground, dragging a gouge in the already cracked and smoking stadium.
"Do you hear that Titania?" said Noiress. "The sound of those roars and cries? The undead dragons summoned by the ancient knowlege Academy City has aquired will raze this city to the ground, all except for the palace....where the true king of Fiore will sit when this is all said and done."
"There already is a king!!!" shouted a voice. "And will not stand for this evil!!"
It was Mato, however his voice seemed have changed. Mato suddenly removed the pumpkin head mask that covered his true features to reveal an old man. The old man looked at Noiress with a furious light in his eyes. "If you wish to take the throne...you'll have to pull it from my cold, dead hands!!"
"Your Majesty!!" Erza shouted. "Run!!!"
Noiress's eyes widened with pleasure. "Toma E. Fiore I believe? It is an honor.....and yes, I do believe we can pry the throne from your 'cold, dead hands' as you would phrase it."
"I won't stand by as the people under my charge are hurt!!" growled the king. "Even if I have no power to fight with at the moment, I won't stand idle!!"
Noiress chuckled. "Oh how I do love foolish audacity....it makes prey so much easier to kill."
Noiress raised her blades and sped at King Fiore. Erza gritted her teeth and ran after Noiress. "Crap, I wont make it in time!!"
Suddenly, there was a clash of sparks, and Noiress's eyes widened as her blades met that of Kaori Kanzaki, who had a light in her eyes as furious as the king's, her body burning with sacred energy.
"It would be unwise to proceed." said Kanzaki. "If you wish to keep your head that is...."
Noiress jumped back laughing. "Kanzaki! The Saint Level magician I've heard so much about!" (saint magicians from the Index series and Wizard Saints are two different things, however, they are both the same in that their magic is unnaturally strong.)
"You know of me..." said Kanzaki pointing her blade at Noiress. "Then you should know that a fight against me is not for the faint of heart."
"Hmm..." said Noiress. "Two against one huh....?"
"Make that three!!" Kagura jumped down from the empty ruined stands, her sheathed sword in her hand. "You have swung your blades for the last time.....and now, we shall ensure your downfall!!"
Erza smiled. She knew both Kanzaki and Kagura, and there swordsmanship were both legendary.....the tide had officially changed.
Noiress, however, just laughed again. "WONDERFUL!!! Finally, a battle that can truly put my skills to the test. I must admit, it has been quite a while since I've been in a big deal fight after all my years of infiltrating Sabertooth...this is just what I need to hone my edge back to it's peake!!"1
Kagura smiled. "Friends.....I think it's time we went all out.....what do you say...?" Kagura put a hand on the hilt of her sword and another on it's sheathe.
Kanzaki's body began to glow with intense bluish energy. "I am in agreement..."
Erza glowed as she requipped into her Nakagami armor. "For all of our friends...and the rest of Fiore....we will defeat you!!!"
Toma E. Fiore looked at the swordswomen with a sense of awe.....never had he seen such skilled sword wielders gathered in one place. "Truly, I have lived long in order to see something like this!"
In shockwave of intense magic energy, Kagura unsheathed her sword for the first time in a year. Kanzaki burned with power as she activated God Breaker Mode. Erza readied her large halberd skillfully, preparing to run Noiress through with the powerful blade.
All three woman then began to attack. Noiress swung her eight blades around in a dance of slicing horrifying beauty as she clashed and blocked the multiple blows from all three opponents, laughing with pleasure at finally having found truly strong opponents.
Kagura and Kanzaki both attemped to slice Noiress with a deadly upper cut from either side. But Noiress crossed four of her blades together and blocked the attack with a deafening shockwave. Using the distraction, Erza charged with her halberd, intending to run Noiress through with it, but Noiress swund her blades around in deadly arcs and bashed all three woman away from her.
"Eight Blade Style: Pheonix Dance!!" Noiress's eight blades suddenly became engulfed in powerful flames, and she flashed her swords around, leaving trails of flame in her wake, as Kanzaki, Kagura and Erza bobbed and weaved through the impressive display of swordsmanship.
Kanzaki jumped into the air and slashed her sword downwards at Noiress. "Yuisen! (Single Flash!)"
A blast of sacred energy rammed into Noiress's blades as both Kagura and Erza dashed Noiress, keeping low to the ground, intending to slash Noiress to pieces while she was preoccupied with Kanzaki.
But before their blades could reach her, Noiress spun around like a twister, her blades becoming a flower of spinning blazing glory, causing a massive sphere of fire to blast outwards and knock Kanzaki, Erza, and Kagura.
The threesome tumbled into the dirt and and got up quickly readying themselves for another assault. Kagura pointed her sword at Noiress and charged. "Strong Form!!"
Kagura's sword rammed right against all eight of Noiress's blades, the power pushing so hard that Noiress dragged gouges in the ground with her feet as she was pushed back by the ferocity of the blow.
Kanzaki followed up from behind Noiress and swund her sword around so fast, that ordinary humans would only have been able to see a few flashes and nothing more. Noiress cried out in pain as bloody gashes appeared on her back.
Next it was Erza's turn. She charged at Noiress's side with blinding speeds, slashing outwards at Noiress, intending to impale her. Noiress moved quick, but not before Erza's halberd cut a bloody gash into her stomach.
Noiress jumped into the air and landed 40 meters away from her combatants.
"My, my!" said Noiress laughing. "You actually managed to injure me seriously.....you people really don't play around do you?"
"You're skilled." said Erza. "But against all three of us, you're outmatched."
"Am I...?" said Noiress. "Yes....if I don't fight seriously, I think I probably wouldn't be able to match any of you.....and I'm definitely not the same as I was before I infiltrated Sabertooth...but....."
Noiress raised her black sword. "I'm not quite out of tricks yet..."
Noiress's six extra arms dissipated and she threw the blade in her left hand into the air to join her now levitating swords. She then made several crisscross slashing motions with black sword.
"Let the seven heads of the Hydra merge with my black blade.....become one, and reap despair..."
The seven blades merged into a great glowing sphere, which rammed into the black blade and then merged with it. The sword suddenly turned into a massive black edged Zanbato with a white edge. It's hilt had a design of a seven headed snake and a massive ruby imbedded in the end of the hilt.
"Say hello to the Moon Viper Sword...." said Noiress. "Within it dwells the power of Eclipse the great Hydra and the moon god Gmot. It is one of the three blades of Ragnarok....and it shall be your ultimate doom."
"Norse mythology hmm?" said Kanzaki. "That means nothing to me..."
Noiress suddenly launched herself into the midst of her three oponents, swinging the ginormous blade with astounding speed and agility, the superior weight of the blade knocking Erza, Kanzaki, and Kagura aside with frightening ease.
The three fighters retreated in seperate directions, astoundingly shocked by the power of Noiress's new weapon.
Noiress suddenly stabbed her giant blade into the ground and chanted. "Grant me the strength of Eclipse.....SEVEN HEADED MOON DANCE!!!"
Noiress wrenched her blade out of the the ground and spun it around like a helicopter propeller, immediately, the sword glowed, and seven large snakes made completely out of glowing silver energy, each one's head the size of a house, blasted out of the blade and struck at the the three combatants with their viper-like speed and strength.
the threesome were barely able to dodge the powerful snakes as they whipped their heads around and attacked and bit from all directions, sometimes crashing into each other in their frenzy to pursue dinner. The threesome converged with each other and faced the silver serpent's back to back, moving and slashing their blades at the serpent's mouths, causing them to hiss with fury as they attempted to strike their meal.1
Erza finally roared with fury, as she requipped into her samurai pants and samurai sword. She moved with more speed then the silver serpents themselves, and sliced each and every single one of their heads off. She then launched herself at Noiress, slicing her blade downwards with incredible fury.
Noiress blocked the blow with Moon Viper, a shockwave blasted through the ruined stadium and demolished several structures in the process, and the ground at Noiress's feet erupted as she pushed into the ground by the power of Erza's blow.
"Impossible!!" said Noiress, her eyes widening. "How can your magic power be increasing!? The Nakagami armor should have been extremely draining on you!!"1
"Your guild hurt my friend Mikoto..." growled Erza. "I can feel her tears from even here...and as long as those tears continue to fall, I WILL NEVER BACK DOWN!!!!"
Erza roared and began to cleave and slice at Noiress with terrifying elegance. Skillfully striking at any weakpoints she could find as Noiress snarled and swung Moon Viper around in the same manner, shockwaves blasting out against the blades as they met each other in the glory of battle.
Kanzaki and Kagura leaped in to join Erza. Together they wove a perfectly intricate dance of masters and blades, flashing a perfect combination of sword wielding teamwork as they clashed with Noiress in a shower of unending sparks and powerful shockwaves.
Finally Erza's swung her sword upwards, and the wide brimmed skull hat on Noiress's head was cleaved in two, both halves drifting into the wind. A mass of beautiful dark purple hair flowed outwards from Noiress's head as she attacked back with wolf-like ferocity. She bashed and slashed with such might, that with every swing, a hurricane of wind surged up and blew gigantic dust clouds into the air.
The three fighters, however, refused to back down, and fought back with even greater elegance and speed. The ground shook from the intensity of magic power that eminated from the powerful combatants, the Earth itself seemed to rumble with amazement as it watched these four fighters of unusual grace and deadliness, these titanic fighters of the blade's art. (I'm starting to sound like Stan Lee here).1
Erza, Kanzaki, and Kagura then pointed their blades at Noiress, their swords charged with magnificent power, and peformed a move that could only be possible with three people of the sword.
"BLADE'S ART!! THREE GATES OF THE GOLDEN WIND!!!!!"
The threesome's swords burned with an intense golden light and they sliced their blades into Noiress at such speed, that they left a collosal sonic boom in their wake.
For a moment, Noiress just stood there. Then she dropped Moon Viper, and fell to her knees, coughing up a splurt of blood in the process.
"I-Impossible...." said Noiress. "I have been training for over 5 millenia.......only to be beaten by two guild mages and some church lackey.....my...it seems that I have gone rusty......."
"You could never beat us...." said Erza.
"Not as long as our will holds strong...." said Kanzaki.
"And our friends hold stronger....." finished Kagura as she sheathed her sword.
"Heh..." said Noiress with a grudging smile. "There might be something in your words...especially given that you managed to beat me....let us fight again some day....but next time, rest assured, I will unleash the queen of serpents upon you the next time we do fight (Eclipse The Great Hydra)."
Noiress pressed a thumb to the ruby on the hilt of Moon Viper. "Dissapear...and hide in your den...great snake..."
There was sudden breif flash of light...and Noiress and her sword dissapeared, almost as if they were never there to begin with.
"Now what...?" said Kanzaki. "This battle isn't over....not by a long shot..."
Erza paused for a moment. "........we find our friends....and fight alongside them to the very end."
HELLO!!! Just wanted to give you an explanation about Noiress Blackout.
Noiress Blackout, as already mentioned, is one of the three strongest members of Hydra Head. The other two being Aqualas and Diablo Etwatia. Before she turned to dark and forbidden magic, she was actually a talented swordswoman in one of the first wizard guilds to ever be created in Earthland. The fighting style she first used was actually invented by her, and has been passed down many generations. Even Erza uses it, though she doesn't know that Noiress was it's creater. One day, she decided to leave the guild in search of the true meaning of magic....and much like Purehito when he left Fairy Tail, she eventually became corrupted by the many strange powers she encountered. Eventually after developing her dark forbidden magic, she invented the 8 blade style, and was feared by swordsmasters all over Fiore, as she would seek them out and challenge them.....taking their heads as a sign of victory.
It is unknown how Noiress managed to meet the hydra Eclipse, offspring of Dravis and Apophis, but apparently, through forces of dark magic which involved the use of the moon, she was able to seal Eclipse into 7 blades, each representing the one of the deadly sins that Dravis imbibed within the Hydra queen. The seven blades, when fused with Noiress's main sword, form one of the three cursed blades of Raganarok that Noiress created herself, Moon Viper. The other two, which were created earlier on, were End Dragon, and Sun Eater. End Dragon was created by fusing one of Dravis's scales to the blade. Sun Eater was created by infusing the venom of Apophis into it's blade.
When unleashed by Noiress, Eclipse is completely loyal to her wielder. Her strongest attack, is the ability to shoot a highly corrosive acid from her venom glands....one drop of which can melt the Eifel Tower to a smoking puddle in mere seconds (3 seconds if you want a close estimate). The maximum pressure at which Eclipse can fire her acid, is capable of propelling into the moon (and probably melting a crater the size of Texas as a result). The only reason, Erza has not been defeated by Eclipse, is because Noiress loves long and drawn out battles, so she tends to hold back the queen of hydras's power. Like any other hydra, Eclipse will regrow two more heads if one of them is chopped off. However, once she resumes her 7 blade form, when she is resummoned, her heads will once more number at 7.
Well, that's it for my explanation of Noiress Blackout! Remember,
