Bubble Gum Trouble 6

"It's just wind. Now I know how you work, I can take full advantage of this. You can't harm me now," she said with a confident smirk.

"Sneeze Bomb,"

"Nose Fancy Cannon,"

"Bomb Kick,"

"Bomb Fist,"

"Exploding Pistol,"

"Pistol Canon,"

"Pistol Double Cannon,"

"Full Body Exploding,"

Gum tried all his attacks. As soon as his attacks come near her, Erza would send a wind slash, block or sometimes cut them.

Everything resulted in his explosive attacks flying past her and detonating harmlessly away from her. Frustrated by Erza's victorious smirk, a thought came to Gum's mode.

He smiled darkly and observed his surroundings. Though not near them, Bubble is fighting that guy in the forest and he can cash this opportunity.

He slowly started taking his fight towards them and when he saw an ample sound of crushing wood and chains grinding, he sent one of his attacks at Erza.

"Don't you get it? You can't win with these," Erza said cutting the mucus and sending it harmlessly. It fell a foot behind her and detonated.

He got 3 wood crushes in response and he smirked. Bubble to his hint and he is going to attack the man if he can't attack the woman. Not that he can do more.

If he was correct, his employer has got all the information she needed and he can end the attack and make a run for it.

"Exploding Fancy Double Cannon," Gum said, sending his exploding mucus towards a floating Erza. She dodged it and he smirked at her. Behind her, Bubble pressed Loke to the ground hard.

"10,000 Kilo press acceleration!" Bubble said, pushing Loke's body towards the incoming Gum's attack. This increased Loke's speed and the impact turned more deadly than it should be. Erza's eyes widened in horror.

Even though she is an S-class mage, from what she observed of Gum's attacks, only her strongest armour can withstand the speed and impact and the Requip takes a few seconds.

If her analysis is correct, she doesn't have that much time to Requip as at the speed the both of them are travelling, it would be too late.

"Chain Magic: Iron Dome!" Loke said panicked. Erza felt chains form around her, shielding her from the explosion completely.

"Ring Magic: Twister," Loke said, forming a Twister with his Ring magic to decrease the impact the attack has on him.

As predicted, the attack hit Loke head-on and the Chain Dome got a pushback. Loke was injured badly, even the decreased speed with Twister didn't help.

"That's good. But what about the second one and a few more that followed it?" They heard Gum speak and much to their dismay, more and more explosions started to rock the area.

Loke got blown away and got hit in multiple areas and soon his Chain Dome collapsed, revealing a pissed off Erza.

As an honorary Knight, she values a fair battle more than anything else. But these people are playing dirty, exploiting a weakness of an injured person and her friend is something she can't forgive.

"You! How dare exploit an injured weakness! As a Knight of honour, I won't leave you! Adamantine Armour!" Erza called her strongest armour. She got it recently and its strength and durability are second to none. It's one of a kind.

The Adamantine Armor is a large, blue and navy coloured armour. The breastplate is composed of different plates joined together, with four, prominent tube-like ornaments on the front, right above her breasts, below the high armoured collar.

The shoulder pads are very large and sport prominent plates shaped like spikes, protruding from a far darker part that composes the base of the structure. The armour is completed by a helmet that covers the top and the sides of Erza's face, leaving the back part of her head exposed, and sporting prominent spikes jutting outwards.

Its most prominent features are the immense durability and protection it provides Erza. As per estimates, this armour can take a Jupiter Cannon blast head-on.

"You have crossed a line which I won't take lightly. You have injured and exploited a friend's weakness repeatedly. I'm going to beat you two into a pulp!" Erza said and charged.

All tricks Gum and Bubble tried were defended by her Adamantine Armour. Gum's explosions didn't have any effect while Bubble's weight press is endured by the armour.

"They won't work. This is the strongest armour and most durable as well," Erza said and finished the battle in minutes. She took Loke and changed into her Flight Armour and flew towards Magnolia at high speeds to get him medical attention.

Flashback End

"So you kicked their ass with Adamantine Armour and came here?" Naruto asked with a smirk and Erza nodded.

"That she did," Loke coughed. Others came in by now and heard Erza's tale with attention.

"That calls for a party. Let's celebrate our new members' arrival and Loke's successful recovery!" Macao cheered.

"I'm not a member yet!" Kagura protested in denial but it went unnoticed as everyone cheered for the party.

Erza looked at the 'so-called' new member and felt she knew her, but couldn't remember how or from where and pushed it aside for now.
