Of the Land and the Heavens

Arrival of the S-Class
The dust clouds cleared from where Hyperion was fired. There, Freed stood, his red coat in tathers, and his balance shaken up by the spell's power. Evergreen was on the ground, unable to withstand Hyperion.

"If he hadn't given enough warning, I wouldn't have had time to cast my Jutsu Shiki to shield against most of it. So this is an Unorthodox's Lost Magic..." Freed thought to himself, "...If that spell were to hit again, I won't make it."

"Impressive that you withstood Hyperion. But, let's see you try this..."

Atrax extended his forearm outward, his palm facing towards Freed. As his magic power flowed throughout his arm and towards his hand, his magic seal appeared and rotated slightly.

"Asteria..."

Magic quintessent energy beams fired out from Atrax's seal like shooting stars. Freed struggled to run to his left side, the blasts exploding right behind him, forcing him off his feet and tumbling on the ground. Just then, he noticed, his shadow getting larger, as light began to shine brighter from above. Freed looked up.

"It can't be...when did he cast them from above?"

Asteria blasts were raining down towards him from above like meteors. In his condition, after taking a hit from Hyperion, Freed knew he would be able to run in time. He braced himself for the impact of the blasts. Atrax watched as the blasts appeared to explode on the ground where Freed was, creating a massive brilliance.

"Are you done now, Fairy Tail mage?" Atrax said.

Like his previous attack, dust clouds gathered around the point of impact, fogging the area where Asteria hit. A sudden wind blew from within the dust and smoke, casting the foggy clouds aside. There, Erza Scarlet, stood over Freed with her silver and blue Adamantine Armor, which she had used to shield both herself and Freed from the assault.

"Erza...?" Freed said, in sudden disbelief.

"Titania..." Atrax said with a more stern glare.

Erza's armor then shone with a bright light, and she requiped to her usual Heart Kreuz Armor. Immediately after doing so, she lifted a one-handed sword, pointing it at Atrax.

"You're an Unorthodox Mage. What were you planning by being in this town?" Erza said.

"That's the way it always is, an Unorthodox Mage has no rights in this world," Atrax responded, "You're no different from anyone else,...Titania!"

In an instant, Atrax began moving at speeds were he left several afterimages behind. The illusionary images, circled Erza, and suddenly, the sound of blade clanged against Erza's right paudron, leaving a scratch on the armor. As the encircling afterimages moved faster, Erza felt the attack of continuous bladed assaults. Atrax was moving at speeds that he appeared to be several places at once, while seemingly attack from everywhere at once. This was Atrax's Flash Raven Speed Spell called Omniscience. Erza dropped her sword, and crossed her arms over her torso, as the onslaught continued, her guard and armor protecting her from lethal assaults. A moment later, the real and physical image of Atrax appeared behind Erza, preparing a deadly strike with both of his katanas, Rakuyo and Kakukoto.

"Darkness Stream!" A voice shouted.

Atrax glared over to his left side, noticing shadowy hands shooting out towards him. Atrax reacted just in time for him to stop his strike towards Erza, and jump back, clinging onto a nearby wall of a building. The stream still was making its way towards him. At a split-second before the dark stream was about to reach him, Atrax jumped down towards the ground, so the stream exploded against the building's wall. Atrax landed softly on the ground, and looked up towards the attacker. Erza also took the time to look and see who had saved her.

"Mirajane..." Erza said.

Mirajane was using her Satan Soul. Her tail lifted up from the ground and then slammed back down as her wings flapped for a split second, releasing a gust of wind.

"You! I will destroy anyone who hurts my comrades!" Mirajane yelled towards Atrax.

"So this is the 'Demon.'" Atrax said, "You mages just keep coming..."
