6 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 6 (2/2)

Juliet raised her head from Erza's shoulder as a dark smile spread across her face, ”True freedom is right here...”

.....

From the outside of the tower and on a ship, many of the former slaves all cheered, danced, hugged, and cried in absolute joy of finally being free after so long.

From the side of the ship, Wally was currently found with Millianna as the black haired boy was rummaging through the crates. His eyes then widened in excitement as he found something.

”Hey look at this! It's a Magic Movie Crystal!”

Millianna tilted her head in confusion, ”Magic Movie Crystal?”

”It's a magic crystal with a movie recorded in it. I can't believe those guys would have something like this!”

Again, Millianna was confused, ”What's a 'movie'?”

”It's a story. Actors take it and play it for everybody!” Wally summarised for the girl and then continued.

”But, I've never seen one before.”

Wally then pressed a button from the side of box, and to their surprise, a holographic moving image of a dandy-looking man shot off his gun at another man, ”I'm sorry, Tony Joe...”

The main character said as he blew the smoke from his gun, tilted his hat downwards, and looked at the audience, ”But your fate was sealed the moment you met me.”

Wally gained a ten-megawatt smile as his eyes shined in admiration for the actor, ”That's so deep!”

Millianna however just looked at her friend like he was crazy. As Wally continued watching the movie, it was then that he remembered a certain red haired boy.

”Hey Ez! Come check this out! I bet you're really gonna like this!” Wally said as he turned his head to him. However, much to Wally and Millianna's shock, Ezra was gone.

”Huh? E-Ez?! Where did he go?!” Wally stood and turned his head frantically in search of the missing red haired boy.

”Ezra?!”

.....

”Juliet, what are you saying?! Let's escape this island together!” Erza tried to convince her blue haired friend, but instead, Juliet kept walking away from her.

”Erza...Freedom does not exist in this world...” Erza looked shocked when Juliet said that. She then heard Juliet continue.

”I've finally realized, what we need is not fleet freedom. True freedom...lies in Zeref's world.”

Erza became unnerved as Juliet turned around and showed Erza her dark crazed look and smile. Juliet slowly walked up to an awake but lying cultist and said.

”I'm beginning to appreciate their feeling, their desire to revive Zeref. But those guys could never feel Zeref's presence, they were only a bunch of pitiful believers.”

She then stomped her bare foot on the cultists face with a cruel smile, ”Isn't that right?”

The cultist gave a low shriek in fear as Juliet continued, ”The tower is mine. I will be the one to complete the R-System and resurrect Zeref.”

Erza now became frightened by Juliet's sudden change of character. She started trembling of how Juliet was acting, ”W-What's wrong with you Juliet? I-I don't understand what you're saying-...”

Much to Erza's horror, she covered her mouth with her hand as Juliet crushed the man's skull with her foot with blood covering the bottom of her feet and her face having a cruel smile.

”Hahahahaha!”

Erza watched again as Juliet approached another man who begged to her, ”P-Please stop!”

Juliet didn't listen as she instead swiped her hand in the air as the cultist was suddenly pushed by an invisible force that sent him flying towards the rocked walls, killing him upon the fast impact.

Erza widened her eyes in shock, ”Magic?”

Juliet continued to laugh as she approached two other men as she then swiped air hands again in air as both men flew to the walls upon impact then dying with their blood spilled all over.

”Stop! Juliet!”

Juliet looked over her shoulder to Erza, ”Stop? Don't you hate these guys Erza? Besides, weren't they the ones who tortured you and Ezra as well?”

”Y-Yes, but this is...”

”That won't do. You'll never feel Zeref's presence like that.”

Juliet then turned her attention to the last man who began running away. Unfortunately, he wasn't even able to make it as Juliet reached out her arms and blasted him with magic.

*BOOM!*

Erza was forced to turn away and closed her eyes at the scene as Juliet just gave another crazed laugh.

”Ahahahaha!”

”Juliet, get a hold of yourself! It must be because you've been tortured for days...”

”I'm just fine.” Juliet said as she turned around to face Erza.

”Erza, let's complete the R-System together....No, The Tower of Paradise together!”

Erza gritted her teeth at the blue haired girl, ”Stop talking nonsense! We're going to leave this island-...”

*BAM!*

”Kyaah!”

A powerful invisible force suddenly pushed Erza back as she was sent flying to the outside. She painfully tumbled down a pile of rocks and into another mining section of the tower as she landed on her front.

Juliet came out from the entrance and looked down at the girl, ”Fine. If you want to leave so bad, then go by yourself.”

”By myself?!” She said shocked. If she did that then it would mean leaving her friends behind.

To leave Ezra behind...
