The Redhead hung in the jail cell, time passing slowly as she searched her mind for a plan of action. As to be expected it was a waste of energy."Are you still with us, erza?", Grey was now a lot calmer since they last talked.
"Yes, I just wish I knew how to get out of the situation", she looked up at her restraints. "Do you know how much longer you will be?", she asked as she tugged at the chains.
"We shouldn't be too long now", the celestial wizard spoke up.
"Good, you need to have a plan before storming in," The knight ordered. "We don't know what we are up against or how many members this guild may have."
"Relax Erza, we've got this", Salamander spoke with confidence, his hands resting on his head as he walked.
"That's what is worrying me", you can't go in with guns blazing Natsu." She could imagine the dragon slayer rolling his eyes, but this time he needed to think, there were other people at stake.
"She's right,", She heard Carla agree with her before continuing. "If we run in without a plan it's just going to turn out to be a massacre." She flew to the front of the group.
"So what's the plan?", Gajeel was the next to speak, he walked with his arms folded as he looked for someone to answer.
"Erza how many entrances to the village is there?", Mirajane asked softly.
" If I can recall correctly there is 2, one at the front and one at the back. when I came to this town no one was keeping watch at the gate, but I don't know if it will be any different now." the knight scrunched up her brows in thought.
"Going on that information, it should be easy enough to split up the team, one to free the townsfolk and one to free yourself, Erza. But that is only if we can get in undetected", the she-devil scratched her chin.
"Who will be dealing with the guild master?", Wendy fidgeted with her fingers, her nerves were getting the best of her.
"I don't mind having a shot at this one", Natsu's fist connected with his hand, his smile grew as he looked over to everybody. Waiting for someone to challenge him.
"Natsu, you'll need to be careful, I don't know much about her, all I can tell you is she uses lightning magic." the redhead warned the pink haired man.
"No sweat, I'll take care of it", he smirks, confident in his power.
The door to the jail opened revealing Katara, Rika and a hand full of black lightning members. "I'm surprised that we've managed to keep you here, you're more powerful than I thought, Katara.", The leader patted the villager on the arm. Katara looked away avoiding the knight's eyes.
"Don't be so shy, not everyone can say they helped take down the great Erza Scarlet". Erza couldn't help but laugh.
"You take pride in taken me prisoner, but you didn't even get involved in the fight. In fact, it wasn't even anyone in your guild but a resident of a village your holding hostage. I don't think you've earned any bragging rights", The leader of black lightning placed her hands behind her back, staring at the captured woman.
"But nobody needs to know that, do they Titania?", she smirks at the woman. "After all", she turned her head to look at everyone who stood behind her. " I don't think anyone will argue with me, do you?", she laughed as the redhead glared at her.
"While we are on the subject, I think it's time we get you ready, you need to look the part", her eyes shined menacingly. "Take her down", Erza gave her a confused look. "Don't worry I'm not letting you go. I just want to have some fun, Katara", she commanded. The villager just nodded approaching to stand next to her. She took out a glowing rope before throwing it around the knight's wrist allowing her to cut the restrains, letting the scarlet haired woman drop to the floor.
"You don't need to do this, if you free me I will help you, you know i can", Erza looked at Katara.
"Oh shut up.", Rika shouted kicking the knight in the chest with so much force she was thrown back into the wall, smashing her head so hard she was seeing stars. Rika walked over to the woman lying against the wall pointing her finger at her. "i'm going to make sure you regret the day you messed with black lightning, Titania.", her voice dripped with venom as electricity shot out her fingertips.
A scream ripped from the knight's throat as her nerves were being attacked. The fairy tail wizards cringed as they heard the strongest female member being tortured. Natsu gritted his teeth, clenching his fists as he fought with himself not to shout at the card just in case he blows Erza's cover. The other members weren't much better, Gray was shaking with rage he didn't attempted to hide it.
"The cowards", Cana whispered as the card shook in her hand.
"They'll pay for this", Grey's voice came out deeper as he thought about his friend.
"Oh come on, don't blackout now Erza, we were just starting to have fun", Rika's voice filled with joy as she looked down at the panting woman. "We're just getting started", She laughed as she landed a blow to the woman's face, busting her nose. Erza ran her arm across her bloody nose, wiping away some of the blood. "You're definitely going to look the part when I'm done with you. When those villagers see your battered and bloody body and witness your death, they will understand, why no one will ever cross dark lightning again", she delivered another kick to the stomach. The knight started coughing violently.
The gang continued to listen to the assault, they all reacted in their own ways but they all felt the same. "Turn it off", it was Gajeel who spoke first.
"You can't be serious, we can't abandon her like that", Cana shouted at the Iron dragon slayer.
"There's no point on us listening to this, it's only going to distract us from the main objective", he barked back at her.
"Cana, Garjeel is right", Maria's voice was softly spoken.
"But", she tried to argue but Maria cut her off.
"Cana, please this is hard enough, if we can prevent it from being any harder by just muting the card. You know yourself Erza wouldn't want us listening to this.", The she-devil placed her hand on top of the brown haired wizard's. Cana looked down before nodding her head. She deactivated the card putting it back in her purse. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder, turning around to see her blonde teammate given her an encouraging smile.
"Don't worry, we'll get her back", she looked to the team "we can't continue to stand here, every minute we're wasting is a minute that Erza doesn't have. Now let's get going".
