In a long stairway, the group are making their way to the last location of the two dragon slayers.
Erza: Gray, care to explain WHY!? You bring Mana and Wendy here!?
This freak the ice mage out as he try explaining himself.
Gray: Look they just want to help you as much as we do. And we can't just leave them to go back to the guild alone.
Erza take a deep breath calming herself.
Erza: All right, let focus on making sure they are safe. Neos trusted me to keep Mana safe. And she's here fighting for her life!
Gray: Erza this isn't your fault.
Erza: Neos is trying to trust us again and here you and the other thing it would be a great idea bringing her here!
Simon: Now it's not the time to point finger, we need to help them first.
Sho: Yeah Simon is right Nee-san.
Simon: They are just the other side of this door.
They all busted through the door only to see a spiral vortex of wind and stardust crashing down, as it clear the two girls could be seen standing on top of the owl men unconscious body.
Erza's eyes widen seeing the two girls cover with scratches, Wendy carrying Mana over her shoulder. A smile appear across her face seeing the two girls are still safe.

Erza: Mana are you sure you don't want me to bandage your wound?
Mana: It's alright Erza-san.
The image of Erza trying to bandage Mana which almost strangle her a few minutes ago appear across her mind.
Simon: I'm surprised that you two managed to take down one of the Trinity Raven.
Wendy: Well after you leave.

As he managed to escape he can see the Fairy Tail symbol on his chest, along side him was a black girl with dragon slayer magic, flashed through his mind. He try looking for that Fairy Tail member on the black market hit list but can't find anyone resample that description.
Fukuro: You are the girl that was with the Fake Fairy.

Flashback
Mana: But Nii-san this is so hard!
Neos: It's not that hard.
She give him deadpan look.
Mana: Easy for you to say, you created this spell.
Neos: *sigh* Let see how can I simplify this for you?

Mana: (Relax your body, clear your thoughts, let your body melts into the world. Become one with the world.)
The scene show a drop a water fall to a water suffer becoming one with it.

Back to the present
Now they are all making their way trying to get to Erza, after Sho put them in a card so they won't follow him. He run off holding Erza's card.
Sho: Jellal! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! How dare you fool us!
Erza: Sho!
She shouted from the card in Sho's pocket.
Sho: How dare you hurt nee-san...!
Sho said to blinded by rage at Jellal to think of anything else.
Erza: Just calm down! Let me out of here!
Sho: Don't worry! I'll protect you! I swear it!
Erza: Sho!
Sho ran out on a bridge that had a river beneath it and trees with sakura flowers blooming on them. Sho then stopped as Ikaruga stood in front of him, Sho brought out some cards and readied himself for battle.
Ikaruga: I am called Ikaruga. Pleased to meet you.
Sho: Get outta my way! Who is this idiot?!
Ikaruga: My, such a boorish man you are.
Sho: I got no business with you!
He shouted and threw several magic cards at Ikaruga, Ikaruga quickly sliced her sword in the air cutting all the cards in half.
Sho: Impossible...!
Ikaruga: There is nothing I cannot cut.
Sho: What are you, a cheap street performer?!
Sho held some cards but then suddenly an X-mark was cut beneath him and his cards were cut to shreds.
Sho: What...? I can't move...!
Ikaruga: Severing nerves without cutting clothing or flesh... Such is the power of my Mugetsu Style.
She said then spotted a card that contained Erza who was trying to cut her way out.
Erza: Sho!
Sho: Nee-san.
He muttered.
Ikaruga: Oh, my. There you are, Erza!
Erza: Let me out this instant! You don't stand a chance against her!
Sho: Don't' worry. I've added shielding to your card... There's absolutely no way she can hurt you from outside...!
Ikaruga: Oh! That's very interesting...
Erza: Sho! Let me out of here! That's no ordinary sword she has!
Ikaruga: It's okay... Trust me...
Sho said. Ikaruga quickly swung her blade and nothing happened.
Sho: See.
He said but then he widened his eyes as he saw Erza blocking some cut with her sword inside of the card.
Sho: Wha...?! She cut through the spatial dimension?!
Sho questioned as Ikaruga continued to swing her blade and Erza blocked them from inside the card while as Sho was pushed into a pillar.
Sho: Nee-san!
An orb of light appeared and out of the card exited Erza.
Erza: You were kind enough to strain the fabric of space in there. So I took the liberty of cutting it wide open.
Erza said as she stood now ready for battle.
Erza: Ikaruga, was it? I have no business with you. Begone.
Ikaruga: Is that how you say hello?
Ikaruga said with a grin as Erza's armor cracked into pieces making Erza fall to her knee.
Sho: That can't be...
Ikaruga: My, don't tell me you didn't see it?
Ikaruga said with a confident smirk.
Ikaruga: Is what you gaze at...the evil apparition...far beyond the mist?
Ikaruga sang.
Ikaruga: You were so focused on finding Jellal that you didn't notice the sword flash that surrounded you.
Ikaruga said as Erza's expression darkened.
Ikaruga: Yes, yes, that's the look. I'm not your ordinary passerby, you know...
Erza: No it would seem not.
Erza said an requiped into her Heaven's Wheel armor.
Erza: Your my enemy.
Ikaruga: Come.
Ikaruga challenged. Erza charged at Ikaruga and swung her sword down at her, but Ikaruga just span around dodging it. Erza then flew up in the air with several swords rotating around her.
Erza: Heaven's Wheel: Circle Sword!
Erza brought all the swords down towards Ikaruga.
Ikaruga: Mugetsu Style: Yasha-senku!
All of Erza's swords were cut into pieces as the remains landed around Ikaruga. Ikaruga then delivered another slice, and then Erza's armor broke into pieces.
Ikaruga: Mugetsu Style: Karuda-en!
Ikaruga swung her sword sending waves of flames towards Erza, when the flames died down Erza was in her Flame Empress Armor, then the armor broke. Erza had tried her purgatory armor but that also broke. Now on her knee using her blade to hold herself from falling down.
Ikaruga: Is that all you got-
She was suddenly knock away by a white blure, Erza eyes widen seeing the black hair girl infront of her.
Erza: Mana.
Mana: Erza-san.
Ikaruga: How dare you, brat!
Erza: Mana run!
Mana: I won't leave you to fight alone, Nee-san.
Erza: This isn't your fight! This is my fight!
Mana: Nee-san...
The silhouette of a younger Neos appear infront of Erza's eyes, he stand next to Mana. Their raggy scarf flow in the wind as their head turn to the side.
Mana: Courage and recklessness are two different things.
The same word he said to her all those years ago as she smile.
Ikaruga: How touching, I will enjoy cutting you both down.
Erza armor changed now she was in her Clear Heart Clothing which consisted of a white sarashi wrapped around the chest, a red hakama with a gold flame like pattern at the bottom with black highlights, and Erza's hair was tied up in a high ponytail. And she was holding two twin katanas.
Ikaruga: What are you thinking? That outfit is nothing but ordinary cloth... You've really underestimated me.
Sho: What are you doing, nee-san?! You have plenty of other strong armor! You're even stronger than that, right?!
Erza: I'm...I'm not strong at all... Not at all... The one person I have witnessed that was truly strong was my younger brother...Neos... But I am not strong... I lost many friends as I looked on. I wasn't able to protect those dear to me... And... I was always crying... To make myself... To make myself seem stronger... I sealed my heart inside armor...and cried. I always wore armor because I was weak. I was never able to take it off... I am prepared to cut down any opponent, clothed or not. I had believed my armor would protect me. But that was wrong. I had tried to plug up the cracks in my armor where my heart connected with others'. Fairy Tail taught me that human relationships can feel so close and warm!
Sho: Nee-san..
He muttered with tears in his eyes.
Erza: I am free of hesitation now! I will strike you down with my all!
Mana: I'll also help you, Nee-san.
Two blades was projected in the girl hand, two black long blades. Erza was surprise seeing Mana use Projection Magic but she soon smile, standing next to her little sister. This make Ikaruga angry seeing this sibling moment.
Erza: Mana, I'm counting on you to keep up with me. Because we will put everything on this final attack!
Man: I won't let you down, Nee-san.
