Chapter 143: Edolas (5)

~Third POV~

Meanwhile Lucy at this time was freed from her imprisonment thanks to Carla and Happy unlocking the door by asking the guard to let her go.

The three of them began to fly towards the West dungeon once they got the news that Natsu and Wendy were both being held captive there as Happy held onto Lucy.

*Fwp*

The sounds of flapping wings could be heard as the group organized a plan Lucy questioned the source of the flapping sounds, "What's that sound?"

All of them tilted their heads and eyes widened as they saw an army of Exceeds flying after them with one looking like Ichiya being the front and yelled out, "We've found you, Fallen!"

Lucy exclaimed shocked, "So many cats!"

Happy exclaimed in shock with wide eyes in surprise, "They chased after us?!!"

Carla quickly informed the group to head to the ground in a serious tone, "We're at a disadvantage in the air!! Let's get to the ground!!"

Happy replied to Carla's plan in concern about the enemies they'll face once they land at ground level, "What about the royal army?"

Carla urgently replied in a bitter tone left with not many choices they have at hand, "We have no choice, we can just fly towards the castle."

Happy merely agreed as they flew towards the ground but as they came closer to the ground they noticed a lot of soldiers running away or too injured groaning in pain from what seemed to be a fight.

Lucy's eyes widen seeing the state of the gate exclaiming in shock, "What the heck happened here!!"

Their eyes widen seeing the molten figure that was the gate molten through by an extreme fire attack to them as their ears pick up the sounds of fighting of weapons clashing between each other.

*KLANK*

*Shinng*

*WOoosh*

*BAM*

They looked around to notice nine figures fighting as they saw all four of the Division Captains fighting against Silva's replica connecting the dots immediately as Happy yelled out, "Silva!!!"

Happy yelled out to him as Carla and Lucy looked down the ground to see Silva standing in the middle of the courtyard in shambles as each member of the Captain Division was struggling against his Replicas.

Silva's eyes dart towards the trio with a smile on his face waving at them as Lucy yells in shock to see him here in the flesh, "So Silva made it here after all!! Thank goodness… whew…"

Carla soon interjected their relief seeing a friend as the Exceeds were still after them in a serious tone, "This is no time to celebrate. We need to get down there now! It looks like Silva has his hands full with those four right already."

They nodded and began to descend.

*Zzzzz*

*KA-BOOOM*

*BAM*

Avoiding a powered electric punch with the ground cracked by Berserker's fist as Sugarboy evaded the attack he noticed an army of Exceeds heading towards the castle, "Great… what else could we need mm…."

*PEW*

*BANG*

*PEW*

*BOOM*

Hughes panting as Archer begins to shoot at him using his Command Tact to control the bullets only for them to explode by <Pyrokinesis > gritting his teeth, "Seriously?!! I can't control his bullets if he keeps on – whoa!! Not the jewels man!!!"

*Bang*

Avoiding the barrage of bullets Hughes dodges on time he notices the Exceed army approaching them he sighed tired by today's events, "Huh? When did they get there… great more work huh?"

Silva having Balmung drawn out notices his trio of friends as he questions them a bit surprised seeing them here in a curious tone, "Lucy? When did you get here? What's with the pussycats here for?"

Lucy only responded quickly as they landed on the ground and exclaimed, "No time to explain!"

*Shinng*

*Klak*

Silva looking at the cuffs on Lucy's wrist swung his sword cutting it and freeing Lucy as he talked to her happily with the cuffs off, "Glad to see yah Lucy. Good to see a familiar place but we seem to be in quite a predicament huh?"

Gesturing to the pincer maneuver of the Royal Army Soldiers and Exceed cornering them Lucy's lips twitched responding to Silva's remark, "Yeah, quite the predicament… look we have bigger problems –"

Before Lucy could continue a command was heard alerting everyone present, "Invoke Code ETD!"

The Division Captains expressed surprise as the guards nearby used flashlights blinding everyone momentarily of the flashing lights shielding their eyes.

*VEKEEEEEN*

What appeared next was a forcefield-like energy field turning the Exceeds inside screaming in pain engulfed in a ray of light then transforming into small Lacrima-shaped Exceeds in the process.

*Zcch*

*Vrakk*

One of the Exceeds inside the forcefield struggled to break free confused and demanded to know as he was slowly turning into a Lacrima, "Why… are you doing… these humans?!!"

*BWORAN*

*ZUDOOOM*

Carla soon shouted out using the momentary distraction that Code ETD caused to their advantage, "We can use this chaos to escape and go save Natsu and Wendy!"

They nodded as Silva turned his back preparing his fight and completing his request in a serious determined tone, "I'll take care of them in the meantime. I'll keep them off your back while you search for Natsu and Wendy. They might need these."

*Fluff*

*Fwp*

Passing 8 small Mana Bottles filled with Mana Lucy and Carla caught them as she exclaims with concern in her tone wishing Silva luck as they fly away, "Silva!! Natsu and Wendy are in the West Tower Basement! Head over there once your done!!!"

*Wooosh*

*Chinng*

Catching in the palm of her hands her eyes widen in shock as Silva prepares for battle handing her the items she needs in a calm tone, "Here's 3 Golden Gate Keys Lucy. You need them more than I would ever use them. Besides you are a good summoner to them."

Silva didn't need to say any more as he marched forward only signaling with a thumb up readying for battle equipped with Incursio in hand replacing Balmung as Lucy clutched the new keys tightly.

*Wooosh*

*Klank*

Panther Lily getting knocking Saber away quickly moved forward to catch Lucy and co. not letting the enemy flee determined wings sprouted on his back after them, "You won't get away from me!!!"

Before he could get near them…

*BAM*

Slamming Incursio's sealed key form resonating with Silva's emotions he called out the Tyrant's power manifesting out from the sealed key shocking the Royal Army of the Dragon's presence in the flesh, "Come the Tryant that surpasses all in evolution and true alpha predator against all… INCURSIO!!!!"

*WOOOOSH*

Manifesting out from the sword revealed the armor then breaking through revealing its flesh ever-present and evolving the Tyrant within screamed causing all nearby to have a shrivel of fear against an alpha predator emerging out of nowhere, "RGRGAAAAAAA…!!!"

Even Lily stopped to gaze at the Tyrant form eyeing hatefully at him like an upper lifeform despising an inferior mistake for merely existing.

*WOOOSH*

Equipped into his armor using his <Glyphs > creating a pathway to Lily rushing forward full throttle startling Lily regaining his senses as Silva used <The Knight> to have Crushing King on his arm already in punching motion…

*SHIIII*

*BAM*

"Ack!!!"

*BOOOM*

Panther Lily responded on time using his sword to block the attack but the momentum built up sent him towards the ground causing a small crater in the process coughing out blood as Silva responded in a neutral tone, "Alright everyone… I'm done playing around now. You all hit my serious button. Time to get serious."

*Thud*

Landing down on the ground the Royal Army Soldiers still standing gulped as they rushed forward fooling as Lucy thanked him for the save, "Thanks for the save!! And go kick their butts, Silva!!!!"

*Crack*

Cracking his knuckles finally letting himself go full power responding in a serious tone, "Aye my lady!"

*BOOOOM*

Unleashing both <Bloodlust > and <Magic Pressure> towards the soldiers they shuddered their determination from earlier shattered as Silva responded coldly, "Come on… show me what you got Army from another world. You angered a Dragon now face the consequences like the cowards you are.…"

*WOOOSH*

*SHIII*

Undeterred by Silva's intimidation she rushes forward as her Magic Tool the Ten Commandments in the default form of this weapon takes the form of a spear that splits into four jagged blades that are perpendicular to one another and curve inwards, resembling a claw.

The main ability is to change into 10 different forms as Knightwalker transformed as the shape of the Ten Commandments' head changes to a spear possessing a triangular-shaped blade with two curvy, yellow lines located at the center.

The red edges of the spear start out wavy but straighten up around the middle section of the spear-head to form a sharp point. The red triangular-shaped blade is being supported by an invert diamond-like shape, which surrounds a light, silver color and a much darker shade at the center.

*SHIII*

Calling out her weapon's name changed into one of its 10 forms yelling at the top of her lungs intent to kill Silva not bothered stood in place, "<EXPLOSION >!!!!"

*KLANK*

*KA-BOOOM*

The point of the tip of her spear hit Silva's Incursio armor creating an explosion engulfing him as Erza grits her teeth yelling at the other Captain to prepare for battle, "All of you get it together!!! We can't let the enemy win and must fight for the people who need eternal magic!!!"

Regaining their composure again stepping forward motivated by Knightwalker's words they all stand firm preparing to continue fighting as Erza's eyes narrowed seeing her explosion didn't even damage Incursio's armor in the slightest.

No damage was done to his HP bar as he laughed reminiscing about fighting Erza again brandishing his battle spear from Incursio's armor and making small talk to Knightwalker in a halfhearted tone, "Ha… to think I would get to fight against my teacher look-alike in this world. Let's see who's stronger compared between the two."

Brandishing his spear he gave his command to his Replica all responding with a curt nod to his command, "Saber! Archer! Berserker! Lancer! All of you are to defeat the Royal Army numbers without taking a life but their pride! That's my command and see to it while assisting my friends!!!"

*Wooosh*

They all vanished leaving Silva as Lily glares at Silva facing all four against one in a serious tone towards him brandishing Bustermarm, "Do you truly think you can defeat us by your lonesome? One versus four? I don't know if you are just brave or plainly insane to go against all of us. You might as well be considered trapped here with us."

Silva prepared in his battle stance laughs lightly at Lily's claims but gains a serious tone towards them all, "Hahaha…!!! I don't know so… I know I can. And another thing… I'm not trapped here with you…"

*WOOOSH*

*SHINNNG*

*KLANK*

He dashed forward as his spear <Sky Eater> slammed towards Lily's Bustermarm blocking the blow this time prepared forcing the other captains to react to attack.

*SHINNG*

Noticing the sky got cut in half made the Captains nervous seeing such physical power forcing Lily to take a knee down to tank the attack with his weapon as Silva whispers to his ears that sent a sliver of fear down Lily's spine his tone filled with determination, "You're trapped here with me."
