The burning golden ball of light cascaded over so slowly in the clear-blue sky. The guild was noisy and boisterous, as usual. That's when a violet-haired little girl barged in, huffing and panting, her face panic-striken. She went directly to her elder sister, one with hair the color of glistening azure crystals.
"You have got to be kidding me!", 8-year-old Azura shouted, stomping her feet, "How could you have lost Faye? What's more, you lost her in the woods!"
"I don't know, I don't know, I was… picking some flowers… and I turned my back on her for like about 2 seconds… and when I turned around, she…she was gone," 6 and a half year old Cyan hiccupped, tears already streaming down her face.
Furious, Azura opened her mouth, ready to let out a stream of curses, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Slapping it away, she snapped, " What do you want, Acquanetta?!"
"It wouldn't do to just sit here blaming everything on Cyan. Come on, we'll help you look for her," Acquanetta gestured to the Redfox triplets and Layla, "She's a five-year-old, she won't be going that far. Layla's here too, you know nothing can escape her."
Slightly calmed, Azura stood up hurriedly and stormed out the door, banging it. "That temper," Acquanetta sighed, "it would lead to her downfall one day, if it's not controlled."
Allona, one of the Redfox triplets, walked over to the still crying Cyan and kneeled on one knee beside her. "Come on then pretty, don't cry. Faye's gonna be alright." With that, she picked Cyan up with one swift movement and carried her on her back.
"Ready everyone?"
The others nodded assent.
"Alright then, to the woods everybody!"
"I picked up her scent!" Marvel Redfox cried out, eyebrows creased in concentration. "That way!"
It wasn't long before they could all hear Faye's sobbing. There she was, sitting alone on a fallen tree trunk, her favourite doll, which she named Saphira, ragged and dirty.
She took one look at her search party and gave a delighted squeal. She bounded up to Azura and Cyan, forgetting Saphira and fell into their arms. "I thought I'd never see you two again!," her little body trembling as she snuggled up close to her two sisters.
"We'll never let that happen," Azura said in a firm voice, "not for a million years. Mom and Dad's rarely home, so you two are all I've got. There's no way in hell I'm gonna let anything happen to any of you."
"Go on and thank Marvel, he's the one that found you, you know."
Faye ran to Marvel, giving him a massive bear-hug, causing him to laugh out loud. "Thanks Marv!"
"No prob there lil' girl," he smiled, winking.
"I'm not a little girl anymore! And you're only 2 years older than me!"
"whatever you say, lil' girl.."
10 years have passed since then. The guild they were in, Fairy Tail, has since flourished and became no 1 in the whole of Fiore. Not just the guild though. It's members has also flourished in their magical powers.
"Alright, who wants to go against us, the mighty Redfox triplets? Loser gets to treat the winner for lunch! Just so you know, I like my ramen with 2 half-boiled eggs," Jason Redfox challenged, obsidian black hair in a tangled mess.
"You know, the Redfox triplets has other members that doesn't agree to this fight right Jas?," Marvel Redfox murmured lazily, lying on a bench with one eye closed.
"I, for one, agree. Come on, don't be such a chicken Marv," Allona laughed, elbowing Marvel, causing him to fall from his bench.
"Alright, sheesh. I'm the strongest amongst you guys anyway. So, who's in for a fight?" Marvel asked casually, eyeing the whole guild.
"Us."
The Redfox triplets turned around and found themselves facing Faye, Azura and Cyan. A fight between the two strongest teams in the guild will prove to be hazardous, but that didn't matter to the others, who were already stomping their feet and hooting, placing bets with each other on which will come out victorious. Most placed their bets on the Redfox triplets.
Because they've been the strongest in the guild for 3 years now.
Marvel opens his jacket. It's lined with an impressive array of magical knives. "Sure about that sweethearts? These knives hurt you know."
Faye tied her scarlet mane of hair in a ponytail. Mimicking Marvel, she said, "Sure about that sweethearts? Yeah of course we are, now cut the crap and let's get on to it," walking up to him. "We'll beat you up!" she smirked. Azura and Cyan grinned playfully, cheering Faye on.
"Oh really, lil' girl? You do realize, I'm much stronger than you?" Marvel replied in a sing-song voice.
"What I lack in strength," Faye took a few steps backward, "I make up with cunning!" Without warning, she lunged at Marvel's left side. He swiftly took out one of his magical knives, the one made out of red steel, and prepared for an attack at his left. At the last moment, Faye sidestepped and struck Marvel at his right side. The open, unguarded side.
A cunning feint.
The fight was on.
Azura fought with Allona, light against metal. Cyan fought against Jason, water against wind. And Faye parried with Marvel, both striking so fast with their weapons it was as if a dozen swords were being used.
After parrying for a few minutes, both jumped back, getting ready to cast their magic.
Faye used her special Lost magic: Inferno Exquip, and changed to her Fireblaze armour, a very light armour made of hard, flaming diamonds. Literally flaming. Almost nothing can scathe it. They either burn away or bounced off the armour. Along with it came a red-diamond encrusted sword. Don't let its dainty appearance fool you; the sword can cut through the hardest metal like cheese.
Marvel spread out his arms wide and chanted aloud his spell, " Slash of the Obsidian Knives!" In front of him came forth a line of obsidian black magic knives, as sharp as can be. The attack can prove fatal for one with lesser ability, but not Faye. As they came slashing towards her, she either dodged the knives or cut them up with her own sword. A true daughter of the famed Titania Erza Scarlet.
It was true that Faye was faster, smarter and more agile than Marvel, but he was stronger and can fight for several hours without tiring. Already beads of sweat had formed on Faye's forehead as she dodged rounds after rounds of slashing knives, this time blood-red in colour.
"What's the matter little girl? Tired already?," Marvel taunted, smirking.
"You underestimate me, Marvel Logan Redfox. And that will be your downfall!"
Faye increased her speed and shoved Marvel hard, catching him by surprise, and then she changed to her Nightwalker armour, another one of her Lost Magic Exquips, allowing her to become invisible. Bewildered, Marvel steadied himself, "What on earth?" he shook his head. That's when he felt cold steel on his throat. Faye was behind him, holding him in a headlock position, her this time asphalt-grey blade ready to slit his throat any time.
"I win," she panted, a triumphant smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Azura was still fighting with Allona.
"Light slash!", Azura shouted, the force of her magic throwing her backwards. She skidded on one knee, stopping herself. At the same time, Allona casted her own spell, "Metal Swords!"
Countless light slashes appeared out of nowhere, cutting Allona in several places. The same happened to Azura as dozens of metal swords charged at her.
Azura shrieked, "Light saber!" and before Allona could react, a torrent of light came barreling towards her, along with its caster, Azura Liana Fernandes with her prized sword, Brisingr. She had just enough time to dodge the attack and pull out her own magic sword, SteelBiter. Each then found themselves at sword point.
"It's a draw then," Azura panted.
"Good fight Zura, you've improved," Allona nodded.
Meanwhile, opposite Azura and Allona, Cyan was having some difficulties. Jason, though he was the weakest in strength out of the Redfox triplets, was the most cunning of the three, almost rivaling Faye. He had trapped Cyan in a hurricane, and there was no way she could go out.
"Water Whirlwind!"
"Water Hammer!"
It was futile, Jason's hurricane was too strong.
"I win, Cy."
"Don't need to get so cocky about it," Cyan snarled.
"Enough! Let her out Jason," Azura ordered, her tone dangerously sharp.
Jason snapped his fingers and the hurricane died down.
"For your information, I like my ramen with a little bit of spice and two hard-boiled eggs," Faye flicked some hair off her face, grinning playfully at Marvel.
