"Sigh... sigh... sigh..." Finn breathed heavily, laying on the ground.
After 10 minutes of running with erza over him, finn finally reached the top of the mountain. Erza was clearly disappointed with him, she told him to do it in five.
"You should work on your speed, we last the double we should!" Erza lecture him
"I would have reached the top in 2 minutes if it wasn't for the elephant I was carrying!" Finn responded instinctively.
"WHAT?!" Erza asked surprised
¡¡THUD!!
erza punched Finn's head making him knee down in front of her and grab his head in pain.
"you should be glad of helping a beautiful girl and friend of the guild like me, not complaining about my weight, ruthless!" Erza shouted
Then, she pouts and walks towards a large tower, clearly the base of the dark wizards, passing Finn by.
She stops for a second, watching finn on the ground for a second before taking her sword with its sheath on and dropping it onto Finn's stomach.
"Hurry up, there are kids waiting for us" erza ordered, then keep walking between the rock towards the tower.
"She is an abuser " kurama commented.
"No need to mention it..." Finn responded, rubbing his hurt stomach.
He didn't have anything against erza, but he prefers to stay away from the main protagonists, they are just too chaotic for him, specially natsu.
"Then hurry up!" Erza shouted from a few meters, thinking that finn was talking with her.
After walking a few meters, finn reached erza and kneel behind a rock next to her. They were both watching the tower intently, for the laughs and screams they guessed that the dark wizards are having some kind of celebration now.
"Then, what? We are gonna wait until night to attack?" Finn asked
"No..." Erza denied quickly.
Originally, that was her initial plan, attack on the night, defeat the dark wizards when they were with the guard down, get the supplies and leave. However, everything change at the moment she knew that the dark wizards rapted a few kids, she can't wait until night, she doesn't know what might happen to those kids during all that time.
"We can't wait too much, those kids are in danger" Erza said firmly.
She draw her sword, watching the metal doors of the tower, then watched the top of the tower.
"Sigh... you want to enter from the top, right?" Finn asked, following her gaze.
"Yes. Take us to the top, is the best option to infiltrate to the tower without causing a commotion" Erza ordered, putting her sword back and quickly climbing over finn, hugging him tightly to not fell. "Come on..."
"W..what? Wait, we aren't even close of the tower yet!" Finn exclaimed, pushing her down.
"Oh, right!..."
They quickly sneaked to the tower, making sure to be in a part were there are not windows that could reveal their position.
Soon erza climbed over finn's back and he started to crawl on the wall of the tower.
finn thought, crawling over the wall.
"I like better the other way..." erza commented, holding herself tightly on Finn's back.
"This way is better, I can distribute our weight in my hands and legs easier, and not holding everything with just my legs. I felt that my legs were going to break before" finn responded
"Then, work them harder, I work my body all days!" Erza responded.
"She was feared in the guild for her bossy character, if I'm not mistaken." Kurama commented.
Erza felt the cold air on her face and arms, her hair moved with the strong air and almost unavoidable she looked down.
"Dang it. The tower is really high." Erza commented, squeezing finn slightly, watching the ground far below them "don't you dare to release us now"
"Why would I?! We are at least 50 meters from the top of the mountain, if we fell we die" Finn responded, the fact that he could stick to the walls didn't took his fear from the highs.
After a few minutes he finally reached the top of the tower and let erza climb over it first.
"Come on" erza exclaimed, grabbing finn by his hair and pulling him over the top of the tower easily.
Erza examine the tower quickly, noticing a trapdoor that guided inside the tower and with a strong kick she folded and broke the trapdoor, leaving the path free.
"Let's hurry and find the kids first, we need to make sure they are okay" erza ordered, jumping inside the tower.
"Let's do it..." finn said, before jumping inside too.
Finn landed behind erza, watching two guys buried on the walls around him.
"A fast worker" finn commented
"There are two path, let's split and find the kids as soon as possible" erza said.
Erza didn't wait for an answer and draw her sword again as she run towards the path in front of her.
"Well, I guess there is not plan at all" Finn said, before activating his partial take over and pulling Minato's clothes and gadgets.

¡¡BOOM!!
¡¡CRACK!!
¡¡BOOM!!
Erza ran across every path she found, finding dark wizards and sliding them or kicking them.
The wizards which noticed her could barely activate their magic or launch a punch before she evade them and hit them as hard as she could.
"Who that hell is this girl and how she get inside the base?!" A wizard screamed.
Erza's silhouette moved fastest than he could react and kicked his face like if it was a balloon, sending flying him towards a wall.
"We are they?! Where did you take the kids you rapted?!" Erza asked grabbing a hand of a wizards, covered with fire and twist it "Nice try, but natsu's fire is way powerful than this!"
¡¡CRACK!!
Erza lifted her leg and kick the wizards waist, his bones cracked at her huge strength, before he fell without any force in his legs.
"What a?!... I can't feel my..."
¡¡SMACK!!
Erza slapped the man's face making putting him to sleep immediately.
"She is a monster!"
"She is whipping everyone!"
The wizards screamed, running from one side to other, trying to run from erza.
"The kids! I want the kids!" Erza screamed, swinging her sword and cutting a man's chest.
"Noooo! She wanna cut my precious ones!" A wizards shouted as he jumped from a window.
Erza didn't have a problem at all managing the dark wizards, she could tell they were pretty weak and even was starting to regret not bringing natsu to the mission.
"I think that's enough, young girl" a voice came from one of the sides of the room.
Erza turned over, ready to attack the source of the voice, but a sudden force hit her side, making her roll to the side.
She make distance and took a second to examine the man in front of her.
The man was tall, long blonde hair, brown eyes and was wearing a formal clothes with his shirt sleeves rolled up, exposing his tattoos.
"Erza Scarlet, Am I wrong?" The man asked with a confident smile. "You are getting pretty popular lately, like those other kids of your guild."
Erza's grip on her sword tightened, watching the man carefully, she didn't know him at all and his appearance didn't fit in any wizard he had know or heard of.
Slowly, erza slided her feet to the front, getting ready to attack, but she suddenly felt a force on her cheek and then was sent flying to the floor with great force.
¡¡THUMP!!
Erza fell on the floor hard, but quickly roll and stand on her feet again.
"I have to said, girl. You have quite the talent and potential to be strong wizard... it's a shame you decide to come here, this situation is nothing a wizard like you could handle" the man explained.
¡¡SNAP!!
Then man snapped his fingers and erza could feel something hitting her face again and her ribs, making her fall on the ground.
The man watched erza with clear mockery.
"There is not use, girl. There's no way of you to defeat me or even evading my attacks, as long as I have you in my sight I can use my telekinesis to hit you" the man said, confident.
"Under your sight, huh?..." erza asked, standing straight "this... is not ready yet. I'm still polishing, but I think it should be good enough for now."
"What foolishness you are talking now, girl?" The man sneered.
Erza smiled, before changing her posture and her fixed on the man in front of her, all her attention was on him in this moment.
"Re-equip!" Erza pronounced.
Her body shined in a golden light and then her clothes and weapon changed. On her hands there was a katana, pointing at the man. She got her hair tied in a ponytail and was barefoot, also using a pair of black loose pants and a white t-shirt, a very improvised clothes of what one day is gonna be her 'Clear Heart Clothing'.
"A change of clothes? No offense, girl, but your previous clothes looked more adequate for a fight" the man sneered
Suddenly, then man felt a soft breeze in front of him and almost instinctively dodged, evading erza's katana, but couldn't evade erza's feet on his face, which made him fell on the floor.
Erza stood in front of him, pointing her katana towards him with a fierce gaze in her eyes.
"On your feet, let's finish this" erza said
