Romero

Erza & Natsu rushed out of the door as the dust outside settled to see that Gajeel was surrounded by hundreds of Night Shade wizards.
"Gajeel what happened?" Erza asked anxiously
"I don't know these guys started to surround the bar just as you guys started to head out. I already sent Happy back to the others."
The three of them grouped together as the forces began to attack, Erza re-quipped into her Heaven's Wheel armor and began an aerial assault as Natsu & Gajeel fought from the ground. They began to gain the upper hand with the guilds dwindling…until the door to the bar opened.
All of the remaining members of Night Shade stopped fighting and turned their attention to the door. From out the door stepped their leader, Romero. The silver hair, distinct holes in pants, dark jacket; just like Erza has suspected, it was the man she say in the Mayor's office building. As he stepped out of the bar the three could see that the bartender was dead, hunched over his bar, but something else caught their eye; Romero was holding the Mayor's secretary by the neck, squeezing the life out of her as she dragged along the ground.
"Let her go right now!" Erza demanded as she floated to the ground next to Erza & Gajeel who bared their teeth ready to fight.
He smirked at them maliciously and began to speak, his voice having a deep, gravely tone to it. "So I was right, Fairy Tail has come to Lumina." He looked over the three wizards as they stood across from him. "I see they sent three of their strongest here: Titania Erza, & two of the guilds three dragon slayers; Black Steel Gajeel & Natsu Dragneel AKA Salamander." He looked at the each as he said their names, "I'm flattered actually. You don't how happy this makes me." His face turned to rage "Now I can pay you back for destroying our guild hall!" the weight of his words was intimidating, but Erza & the others stood their ground.
"I will tell you one last time." Erza said slowly, but with such intensity. "Let her go now." Her stare burned a hole into the villain. His face reverted to it cocky smirk as he lifted the woman in his grip to the three. "Who? This woman? I no longer have a use for her." Then in one quick motion, he snapped her neck, killing her. As he threw her body to the wayside; Natsu already started moving.
"Natsu wait!" Erza screamed, but it was too late, Natsu already made his way to Romero, his fist emitting an intense flame.
"You…" He drew his hand back to attack, but he suddenly felt a force pushing him backwards.
"Agh!" He flew back into the building behind them.
CRASH! It crumbled from the force of his impact.
"NATSU!" Erza yelled in worry as she looked at Romero with anger. She moved to attack but was intercepted by Gajeel.
"Damn you!" the black haired wizard yelled as he rushed him. "Iron Dragon Sword!" he shouted as his right arm changed into a sharp blade with spiky protrusions, they began to vibrate rapidly mimicking a chainsaw blade as he face Romero.
Vrrrr!
The blade whirred as Gajeel moved to strike, bringing his arm upward. As he swung down however, he felt something blocking it.
"What the hell?" His blade had been parried and he was helplessly floating in the air for a few seconds, but that was all the time Romero needed.
BASH!
He dug his fist into Gajeel's stomach, forcing the mighty wizard eyes to open in shock.
"Blagh!" He coughed out blood as he flew back in to the building next to Natsu.
CRASH!
Erza stood in shock, two of her comrades had been taken down effortlessly by this…monster; but a look of determination took hold of her face as she tightened her grip on her sword, she knew she couldn't run away, she never ran away from a fight.
Romero held up the fist that had just felled Gajeel, as he smiled maliciously at Erza. "That's two down Titania, how do you think you will fare?"
"Re-Quip!" She glowed as bright as the sun in the sky as her armor changed.
As the glow faded, Erza was not clad in a black armor with silver trimming, and wings protruding from her back. She now held up her purple and silver blade towards her adversary. "This is my black wing armor." She explained confidently, "You will pay for your crimes in this town."
"Aaaagh!" she rushed him but he was ready, with a flick of his finger Erza was in the sky above them. He jumped as Erza used her wings to stabilize herself, and the fight began in the air.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Erza swung her sword expertly but all of her attacks either missed or were deflected effortlessly.
What is going on? How come none of my attacks are connecting?
She continued to slash with no luck until…
BAM!
"Ugh!' she groaned in pain as she felt Romero's fist hit her stomach.
A small amount of blood spilled out of her mouth as she swung upward, catching Romero on the cheek.
Erza smirked at her strike. "Seems like you are not so untouchable after all."
Romero moved back and felt the scar on his cheek, as he looked at the blood on fingers; he became a totally different person, slightly frightening Erza. He rushed at her twice as fast as he was before.
"What?" Erza flew astounded but soon felt his fury.
POW!
Romero hit her in the face with a hard fist. He then began moving his fists with lightning speed as his punches increased in power. Erza could barely keep up with him as she tried to block.
She found an opening and tried to slash downward, but she suddenly grabbed her throat.
"Ack! Agh!" she flew there choking as she looked to Romero, who had his hand outstretched towards her.
He smirked at her, "I guess you were guessing how my magic works. I can manipulate air currents that allow me to fly, become faster stronger, and doge attacks easily." He then squeezed his hand, causing Erza to choke more. "I can also restrict air flow in people's bodies, choking them to death."
"Acck!" Erza struggled to breathe as she felt her life slipping away. She had never felt such power before and the thought of her possibly dying, frightened her. She managed to look at the rubble Natsu has caused and started to think about how she wouldn't get the chance to keep her promise, or tell him her feelings. Romero simply laughed as he saw the terror in her face.
On the ground below, Natsu had stirred awake, he got up to see Erza struggling for life in the air. His eyes widened in shock.
"ERZA!" he yelled from the ground.
In the air Romero look down at him smirking as he spoke to Erza, "Salamander is in luck, he gets to see me squeeze the life out of you."
Erza looked down, a small tear flowing down her face as she struggled to breathe. "N…Nat…su."
Natsu cheeks filled with air as he placed his clenched fists, one in front of the other in front of his mouth. He pointed himself upward.
"Fire Dragon ROAR!" Suddenly a torrent of fire flew into the air between Romero & Erza, breaking the former's concentration; allowing his grip on Erza to be released.
"Dammit." he groaned as Erza fell to the Earth below, falling at an incredible speed, akin to an angel that fell out of heaven.
Natsu ran desperately to intercept the impact. He caught her just before she hit the ground and let out a small sigh of relief. Erza's body shined again as her armor reverted, in a matter of seconds she was back in her white blouse and blue skirt. Natsu looked at her, his eyes filled with sorrow that he couldn't protect her. He then clenched her tightly in his eyes as he looked up at Romero in anger.
"Hey!" He roared from the ground, "Come down here so we can settle this you bastard!"
Romero simply floated and laughed at him. "If you want to fight so bad Salamander, you can find me on the top floor of the casino. I'm sure you and your friends were planning to try and destroy the spell anyway." He then smirked cockily at him, "Hopefully you can make it to me in one piece. Hahahaha!" He laughed maniacally as he flew off, his men following him.
Natsu stood there holding Erza for a minute, an enraged look still on his face as he walked to Gajeel who had recovered.
"The hell that bastard go?' he asked angrily.
"Back to the casino." Natsu answered with a tinge of regret. Gajeel then looked at Erza who was still in Natsu's arms.
"She ok?" he asked Natsu as he looked at the unconscious Erza.
"I don't know, but we have to get back to the others. Hopefully Wendy can heal her."
Gajeel nodded and the two ran back towards the inn where their friends were waiting. Natsu looked down at Erza with worry, she was struggling to breathe.
"Nat…su." She managed to say albeit very weakly.
He looked down at her with an angry look in his eye over what just happened.
Don't worry Erza, I'll get you back to the others he said as he clutched her closer to him, then I'll make that guy PAY!
