erza's Golden Railgun Armor (Revised version)
"So I take it this is my Earthland self" said Edo-Kanzaki as she eyed the woman who had just arrived with slight caution.
"Kaori." said Erza with a little bit of surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"When the 2 level 5s decided to come in after you, Markarov thought that only two would be a bit scarce as reinforcements...so he gave a call to Necessarius." said Kaori Kanzaki. "Not that I'm complaining, but actually I was a little surprised given Laura Stuart and your master don't exactly see eye to eye."
"So I've heard." said Erza. "But at the moment, I'm merely glad that we now have more of an upper hand."
Kanzaki raised an eyebrow as she suddenly noticed Edo-Stiyl yawning next to Edo-Kanzaki. "No...wait...is that Stiyl? And he's wearing a monk's outfit? That sooo does not look good on him."1
"The Edolas versions may look like the people we know." said Erza. "But they are different in many ways. Be careful."
"I know, our Stiyl is busy looking for your friends at the moment. So I guess it's 2 against 2 hmm?" said Kanzaki. "This will be over quickly."
Suddenly there was massive crash as Erza Knightwalker landed with a boom in front of the twosome. "Yes indeed, it will be over...for you two."
"Another Edolas duplicate." said Kanzaki. "And this time it's you Erza. Interesting, I always wanted to fight you again...and here I'm provided with another opertunity."
Erza smiled. "You may have that honor...after all, I've always wanted to fight you again as well.
Edo-Kanzaki growled angrilly. "Enough with this sickening display of trust...I'll dispose of you right here!"
Edo-Kanzaki launched herself at Kanzaki, but Erza immediately requipped into her Soaring Armor and came to block Edo-Kanzaki with a clash of sparks. "I am your opponent now."
Edo-Kanzaki leapt back and looked at Erza with disgust. "You're the one who sickens me most. The trust you put in your friends, the belief that everything will turn out just wonderful in the end just because you depend on others...you're a weakling who can't even tie her shoes on her own...no back bone, no innitiative."
"There was a time when I almost believed that." said Erza. "But after I joined Fairy Tail...things changed. And right here and now...I'll prove that silly remark of yours false."
Erza nodded at Kanzaki who readied her sword and pointed it at Knightwalker. "A little trust never hurt anybody...as long as they know who to trust...and I trust Erza Scarlet to the fullest."
"...." Erza Knightwalker remained silent at this...as if contemplating how meaningful those words were.
"Stiyl.." said Edo-Kanzaki. "As I understand, the Earthland version of you is currently here...kindly find him and dispose of him."
Edo-Stiyl yawned. "Whatever...nothing better to do anyways.."
As Edo-Stiyl walked off, Edo Kanzaki moved like lightning letting her two blades move in several deadly arcs at Erza. Erza moved her two blades quickly too, letting the Soaring Armor's speed do it's work as she blocked and counterattacked like a pro.
The two swordswomen leapt into the air, moving faster then the naked eye could comprehend, leaving sparks bleeding through the air in the wake of their clashes.
Meanwhile, Erza Knightwalker and Kaori Kanzaki did the same, letting spear clash against sword in a dance of elegant fighting skill.
As the four combatants began to show their mettle against one another, two soldiers watched in the distance.
"This is turning out really bad, their fight is gonna tear the entire place apart!" said one soldier.
"Don't fret about it.." said the other soldier. "Leivess already contacted me on the com link...she wants us to let em have at it...for us just to watch and report the result later...direct orders from the advisor herself."
"What!?" said the first soldier. "But we need to move our troops in there now!"
"Just listen for a sec." said the second soldier. "Those are practically first class warriors up there. Erza Knightwalker used to be the greatest warrior the other Edolas ever had...and General Kanzaki once slew over a hundred espers before she even considered joining our side...if we go in there ourselves, we'll be the ones torn to shreds, not just the city."
"But.." said the first soldier.
"Think about it." said the second soldier. "We weren't able to do a ghost of a thing against that Scarlet fellow..what makes you think we'll be able to do something with four terrifying folks like them up there..?"
The first soldier remained silent at this, and remained in his spot, watching the battle carefully.
The soldiers did not know how lucky they were. For never had a dance between such skilled warriors ever been witnessed on Edolas. Magic power shook the area as the combatants gave it their all to defeat their opponents.
Erza requipped time and time again with every manuever, blow, and thought, trying to catch Edo-Kanzaki off gaurd with multiple different attacks. Purgatory Armor, Lightning Empress Armor, Flame Empress Armor, Black Wing Armor, Soaring Armor, Heaven's Wheel Armor. The light from her requip and the flashes from her sword would have confused any ordinary warrior, buying them a one way trip to death.
'The Slicer' Kanzaki, however, was no ordinary mortal. She dodged and counterattacked with equal grace, moving her two blades like a master artist, determined to paint and carve a bloody scene onto her opponent. Her two blades connected With Erza's massive black sword just as she once more switched to her Purgatory Armor.
"Not bad.." said Edo-Kanzaki. "I can see why Knightwalker holds you in such high esteem. But it will end here."
Edo-Erza began to move her two blades in quicker and bolder movements, hacking down at Erza with an utter ferocity that would have scared the most gruesome predator to tears.
"Don't mess with me.." Growled Erza as she suddenly switched to her two samurai swords and samurai pants. Erza roared and slashed her two blades in an upwards X motion, cutting a gash in Edo-Kanzaki's stomach.
Edo-Kanzaki leapt back with a look of surprise. "Impossible...nobody has ever succeeded in injuring me before.."
"There's a first time for everything." said Erza with a small smile, as she leapt at Edo-Kanzaki once more.
Meanwhile, Knightwalker and Kanzaki were also busy in their own graceful battle, Knightwalker had switched to her velocity spear and was thrusting her spear with the speed of a gattling gun, using frightening speed and perciscion.
Kanzaki was proving just as skilled though, dodging each and every single move easily and beautifully.
"You're as quick as 'The Slicer' "said Erza Knightwalker with some slight surprise. "Even your fighting style is quite similar."
"I don't know if that is a compliment, or just a useless statement." said Kanzaki. "But your gaurd is down."
Kanzaki sliced her sword downwards and a massive blast of sacred energy shot at Knightwalker. Knightwalker switched to her Gravity Sphere and sent a massive black sphere of energy crashing into the sacred energy. She then jabbed her spear in more quick motions at Kanzaki who dashed out of the way and reappeared in a burst of speed right behind Knightwalker.
"Yuisen (Single Flash)" Kanzaki swiped her blade at Knightwalker again as it burned with powerful sacred energy.
Knightwalker's spear suddenly morphed into two spears, her Double Dragon Spear. Knightwalker swung one spear which blasted a huge beam of fire into the sacred blast and then swung her other spear, sending a blast of ice magic in Kanzaki's direction.
Kanzaki sped out of the way and made several more quick slashes at Knightwalker who manuevered her two spears quickly to block the blows.
"Not bad.." said Kanzaki. "Not bad at all..but you don't seem to be fighting as much as you could be...tell me...why are you not going full out?"
"What!?" said Knightwalker. "My will to fight has never been clearer!"
"So you say." said Kanzaki. "But what is Psychic City's true objective for this battle...it can't be just to stop Erza Scarlet from wrecking a bit of your city...there is some other goal for this clever ruse. And you know it.
"Enough with your blabber." said Knightwalker. "You die now!!" In a fit of rage, Knightwalker brought both her spears together and sent a massive whirlwind of ice and fire in Kanzaki's direction.
Kanzaki swung her sword in a powerful arc and the the cyclone of ice and flame was immediately intercepted by a powerful blast of sacred energy. A tremendous dust cloud filled the area as the area was obscured from vision.
"Hmph.." said Knightwalker with a smile. "Well, well, this turned out for the better.
Knightwalker launched herself through the dust cloud to Kanzaki's estimated location, intending to take Kanzaki by surprise.
Suddenly, multiple bleeding cut's appeared all over Knightwalker's body as she fell to the ground in surprise. As the dust cloud cleared, Knightwalker began to notice multiple slight flashes in the air above her. "Wires!?"
"Indeed." said Kanzaki from where she was standing several meters away. "You might just say I used the cover to set them up here. A bit of a surprise. Nanasen (Seven Flashes).
The thin glinting wires suddenly split into thousands and thousands of other wires that sped their way over to Knightwalker who waved her two spears around in a surrounding cyclone of flame and ice. However she wasn't able to completely wipe away the wires and she ended up jumping out with new cuts going all the way down her legs.
"Urgh.." Knightwalker landed on the chrome floor as she strained to keep standing. "Your reflexes aren't normal."
"In God Breaker mode, my body's physical attributes increase tremendously." said Kanzaki. "Unfortunately, it also presents a tremendous strain on me, so I'll have to finish you quickly. Red Lotus Flames."
Immediately several wires surrounding Knightwalker ignited into flames. There was a tremdous explosion and suddenly Knightwalker found herself on her back with Kanzaki's sword point pointed straight at her neck.
"Now.." said Kanzaki. "You're going to tell me what I need to know."
Knightwalker gritted her teeth furiously. "I'm starting to really hate Earthlanders."
Not far away, Edo-Kanzaki and Erza were continuing their rageful battle of power. As the battle continued on, Edo-Kanzaki's strikes became more and more ferocious, hammering against Erza's two samurai blades continuously in an attempt to utterly overwhelm her.
"You make me sick!!" Screamed Edo-Kanzaki. "You and your lazy ideals. Letting your friends handle things that would be better done on your own...such an idiotic fool!!"
"You talk about my ideals as if they were foolish..but I can begin to see you starting to doubt yourself as you speak." said Erza.
"Nonsense.." said Edo-Kanzaki. "That's just a bunch of hopeless muttering you're uttering in an attempt to avoid the simple truth...that your guild's legacy...is nothing but a farce!!"
Erza's expression suddenly darkened significantly...she swung her two blades outwards in a sudden increase of strength, causing Edo-Kanzaki to leap back in surprise.
"My guild's legacy is a farce you say..." Erza whispered as an aura of extreme anger came from her. "You dare to insult the pride of my family....well then, I'll destroy you with the very thing you claim to be a farce..."
Erza glowed once more as she requiped. However this time, she requipped into a beautiful golden armor. It's arm gaurds and shoulder area were decorated with silver lightning bolts while the leg armor was decorated with the same. A black obsidian dragon adorned the front of the armor while massive beautiful golden wings spread out from Erza's back spreading out with massive magnificence, electricity sparked down the wings. Her sword was huge with a metal armament near the hilt of the blade. A halo made of pure electricity sparked over Erza's head.
"That..armor...it's power is massive.." said Edo-Kanzaki, her eyes widening in surprise.
Erza closed her eyes for a moment remembering how she had created the armor...
It had been 3 weeks ago...Team Natsu had just returned from battling a powerful foe known as the Northern Giant. The enemy had proven so powerful, that Erza had shattered her Armadura Fairy in the process. As the group recuperated in the Guild Hall, Mikoto had been talking with Erza about the shattered armor.
"It's such a shame though.." said Mikoto. "Won't it take ages just to repair it?"
"Yes. But for now I'll able to make do with other armors...it's not too big of a deal" said Erza. "I have other powerful armors."
"Yeah..but what if we're in another situation like the northern Giant...or what if we run into Hydra Head again?" said Mikoto. "You're going to need an edge..or something."
"Actually, I was thinking about that.." said Erza. "You know, I've been thinking of getting myself a new set of armor...and I was hoping you could help.."
"R-really!?" said Mikoto. "But I know nothing about buying armor..."
I don't want to buy armor.." said Erza. "I want to forge it.."
"Forge..?" said Mikoto. "How am I supposed to help..?"
"You need not worry about the basics..I'll show you what to do.." said Erza.."Can you help me?"
"Sure!" said Mikoto cheerfully. "Anything for a friend.."
Erza opened her eyes back to the present. "This armor...was made with the power of a dear friend...Her magic and electric power augmented the armor as it was hammered into shape...her tears cooled the very blade of this sword..and her will went into the wings that spread before you..."
This is bad..thought Edo-Kanzaki. The magic power I'm sensing from her is off the charts...it's as if..she's become Psychic City's entire powergrid...the static from even standing near her is ridiculous..
Suddenly there was a blur of incomprehensible speed, and Erza appeared right behind Edo-Kanzaki. She swung her lightning engulfed sword in a massive blast of power against Edo-Kanzaki who was only able to bring her two swords up to block just in time..
Erza hammered her sword against Edo Kanzaki again and again, each time, her blows grew even more powerful, until suddeny, 'The Slicer's' swords shattered into peices..
"Impossible.." breathed Edo-Kanzaki. "This was forged using the most ancient magic...how could anything break it.."
"This is my Golden Railgun Armor...It's named after the precious friend who gave me the power necessary to forge it...remember that...this is what is earned by trusting friends...the ideal you called a farce!!!"
Erza pointed her sword at Edo-Kanzaki...immediately, the metal object on the hilt shifted like liquid and turned into a metal disk that glowed like the moon
"Moonstruck Railgun.."
...in a powerful sonic boom, the disk blasted straight into Edo-Kanzaki..and the divine general shot off into the distance, crashing through over twenty sky scrapers before landing with a deafening boom in the burned and sparking chrome street....
"That is the power of my friends.." said Erza. "Forget that power, and you're dead."
