Taking a hold of her Archenemy, Kagura puts it behind her back, grabbing the pommel with opened palms, and gripping the scabbard tightly, assuming her Slash Pose.
Looking down on Erza from above and acquiring her Strong Form, Kagura aims the tip of her Archenemy at Erza's current standing position as she comes crashing down with immense speed and renowned strength, catching Erza off guard as she manages to destroy the terrain around them with said blow, as well as shattering Erza's Heaven's Wheel Armor to bits. Kagura dismantles Erza's strongest defense After fully Requipping into her armor, Erza aims her Pentagram Sword spell towards Kagura, only to see the latter swiftly dodging it with the slightest movements. However, Kagura manages to push Erza back with the impact of their collision, prompting Erza to Requip to her Heaven's Wheel Armor. Having agreed with Kagura's affirmation, Erza quickly rises her sword, clashing with Kagura once again. Kagura, tightly holding her Archenemy's pommel, declares that she has no intentions of holding back, as she rapidly aims her attack towards Erza. Įrza looks at Kagura as she states that the time to settle their initial skirmish has arrived. Seconds after, Erza and Kagura prepare themselves to battle each other, as shown from the Lacrima vision the three judges and the audience are provided with. Kagura glares at Erza and tells her that she will strike her down, and then she will devour the tiger-lady. Erza, wiping the blood and sweat from her face with her right hand as she looks directly at Kagura, states that it seems Minerva got the best of them, only to be silenced by an enraged Kagura. After having knocked back Erza, Kagura turns around and tells Minerva that she will accept her conditions, but when she looks for Minerva and Millianna, she notices that Minerva, holding Millianna captive, has already left the area. Overhearing the two speak to one another, Minerva walks off, estimating that Kagura and Erza have a lot to talk about. Seconds after, she is told by Kagura to stop pretending to be Millianna's friend, and then receives a powerful headbutt from her, separating the two. Erza orders her to give Millianna back, but looks down as Kagura murmurs a couple of words to her. After being insulted and returning a complement, Minerva beings to walk off as she states that using all means necessary is the way a King fights. Minerva tells them that whoever is victorious can become her prey, as she manages to make Millianna disappear with her Magic.
The switch results in a clash between Erza and Kagura, leaving both Mages stunned at the change. Kagura attempts to retrieve her comrade, but her efforts are futile as the Sabertooth Mage switches place with Erza before she can do so. Angrily, they look at Minerva with a killing desire. However, despite being hit by said technique, Kagura and Erza stand their position, unfazed, but their state of mind rapidly changes when Minerva reveals herself to have captured Millianna. Several attacks later, Minerva casts Yagdo Rigora, directing it towards both Kagura and Erza.
The three commence their assaults on their targets by delivering one attack after the other.
As Minerva challenges the two of them, and they accept her request, the three female Mages, recognized as the strongest female Mages competing in the Grand Magic Games of the current year, ready for battle. After Kagura locates Team Fairy Tail's Erza Scarlet, and exchanges multiple blows with the latter, Minerva, appearing out of thin air, intervenes the battle between the two extremely talented sword fighters as she flips them both over.
