Finn and Erza walked around the tower, looking for the missing children.
They walk over a few minutes, the tower's corridors were suspiciously empty. A few minutes ago, there were plenty of dark wizards in every level, but now it was like if everyone vanished abruptly.
"I don't like this sensation... everything is quiet, maybe too quiet" finn commented, being alert.
Erza nodded and, taking her damaged shirt, tore off a piece and used it to make a bun. She didn't like this situation either, but wouldn't leave the children behind because her fear.
"We must be careful, Finn. The dark wizards I was fighting before mentioned that the master of this dark guild is a class S wizard" Erza warned.
Almost like if it was fate or a trick well elaborate, Finn and Erza heard a soft cries and sobs not to far from them.
Erza didn't waste time and ran towards the cries, finn tried to follow her speed but he soon was left behind by far.
Erza soon arrived to a door and kicked it open, she watched inside the room and quickly felt her blood boiling with anger. Soon Finn arrived next to erza, watching an scene that let him frozen.
The kids were chained to the walls, using dirty clothes and covered by multiple bruises.
"Those bastards!" Erza said with tear, running towards the kids with her sword in hand, ready to cut the chains.
"Erza, wait! This doesn't feel right!" Finn exclaimed.
The kids weren't under any protection or supervision, and they even were conveniently hidded just three levels from the entrance of the tower.
Erza didn't care and follow her path towards the children, once in front of them she lifted her sword, tempting to cut the chains, but a chain next to the children moved faster, grabbing erza by her wrists and lifting her.
The chain crashed erza's body against the ceiling before pulling her hard towards the ground and next throwed her to a near pillar.
"AGH!!" Erza screamed on pain, hitting the pillar and then falling on the ground.
"Erza!" Finn exclaimed, running towards her, but soon he had to jump, evading another chain.
Finn landed on a pillar, using his chakra to stick on it. Then, a footsteps came from one of the dark sides of the room, drawing Finn and Erza's attention.
"What do we have here?... two little fairies trying to be heroes" a deep and disgusting voice echoed in the room.
The children quitly recognized the voice and cuddle hard next to the wall, something noticed by Erza.
"BASTARD!" Erza shouted "why doing this? Why capture innocent children from their homes?!"
Erza tried to push herself up again, but a near chain grabbed her ankle and pulled her to the air. Soon another chain came and immobilized her, grabbing her by her neck, ankles and wrists.
"ghhh!..." erza tried to speak, but the chain around her neck cut her air.
"No, no, no, little fairy, do not fight back, it's useless" the strange voice said and slowly a figure came out of the dark.
The figure was a tall and slim man with long black beard and blue eyes. The man was using a dark coat with silver intricate details that formed an axe on the left side of his chest.
"Dang it! Erza, wait I'll help you" Finn said, jumping from the pillar towards the ceiling and then towards to erza.
Halfway through, a chain grabbed finn by his waist and crashed him on the ground, before tying his neck tightly.
"You see, those chains were modified with magic sealers. You should feel it by now, right?" The master said calmly
"This is bad, Finn... your magic is running out. In matter of seconds you'll pass out " kurama warned, feeling Finn's magic leave his body a great speed.
Finn knelt, grabbing the chain and trying to free himself while watching erza chained on the air. He felt his body tired and his vision blurred. Slowly, his hands release the chain, and start closing his eyes.
"Hey, hey, hey! Finn it's time to act not sleep! " kurama yelled in his mind
"Finn..." erza whispered, watching Finn felling unconscious and feeling how she was going in the same path.
"Do not worry, little fairy. At the end of the day you both will be dead anyways" the master affirmed, passing by Finn.
Finn barely watched the master walking next to him and towards erza, he knew he couldn't let himself fall unconscious, but he couldn't avoid it, he just have very little magic.
"System..." Finn whispered, almost asking for help.
[
Does the host wish to convert chakra to magic?
]
"Do it!" Finn exclaimed and almost immediately felt his body filled with magic again. "Fullbody take over!"
Finn's body suddenly shined, drawing the master attention and surprising erza.
"What the?!" The master turned over to see Finn, but he wasn't there anymore.
"Are you okay, young girl?" A calm voice came from one of the corners of the room.
The master turned over to see them, watching erza laying in front of blonde man, who was smiling comfortably to her and the children next to them.
"Finn?" Erza wondered
"I'm sorry, but I'm not him. I'm minato namikaze, I'm the soul living inside his magic" Minato explained.
Erza's eyes opened wide in horror, she knew about this side effect of the take over magic, when someone not powerful enough tries to use a transformation that overpass their power, the soul can take over the user's body.
Minato watched erza's expression knowing what she was thinking easily and simply smiled at her.
"Do not worry, I'm not here to hurt you or the children and this is just temporarily. I can feel Finn's will taking the control slowly" Minato explained.
