"Ya know, if my babies weren't there to help you, you would have been frozen!"
"A glorious Fairy such as myself would have NEVER been done in by such an attack, I assure you."
"Be quiet, the both of you, something is up ahead."
The two figures stopped and stared past the long green haired man dressed in a red overcoat, equipped with a long rapier, upon which the man had rested his hand.
The other two, a man in black, knight-like attire, with a metal visor that covered his eyes, and a brown haired woman with glasses and a green dress, squinted into the darkness that appeared a few hours ago, which made for an even darker trek through the forest.
"I don't know Freed, I can't see much." The woman said, adjusting her glasses, but the other frowned slightly as a light flashed behind his visor.
"Well I can Evergreen, and it's not good. There are two weak souls ahead of us, two people close to death." The visored man said and the woman, determined as Evergreen, rolled her eyes.
The green haired man, now dubbed as Freed, stepped forward cautiously at the other man's words, but started to jog at the sight of an apparent war zone.
"Bickslow, check around for any other signs of life, I'll check on the two you spotted, where are they?" Freed asked, gesturing at the visored man, now dubbed as Bickslow. The man nodded and pointed to the left.
"A few yards that way, and be quick, their souls are getting weaker by the second."
"I will, Evergreen you start up a camp, it seems we won't be getting to Fairy Tail by tonight."
"Fine, if a fairy such as I must. But I won't enjoy it." The brown haired woman said, and went off into the forest, leaving behind Bickslow and Freed, both of whom started running to the two injured people that Bickslow sensed.
"Any one else around?" Freed asked as the sight of two bodies reached him, and what looked like a climax of a ferocious battle.
"One powerful looking soul about a mile off, powerful enough to easily put Erza to shame." He answered and bent low over one of the mysterious injured, who was lying on their side, the other their back against a tree, slumped over. Both were breathing faintly, but only just barely.
As Freed went to raise the persons head up, Bickslow gasped and Freed's head whipped around as the moonlight lit up the stranger's features on the ground.
A sleeveless red trench coat with a custom hood, and custom black trim, along with striking black hair that was drawn back into the person's hood, along with the mans face came into view, causing Freed's eyes to widen.
"Jesse Drakken, the renowned bounty hunter twin, but then that means.." His sentence trailed off as Freed turned and pulled the other persons head up, into the moonlight.
In the exact same style trench coat besides it being white, lay Ty Drakken, the twin to complete the set.
As quickly as possible they carried them to the campsite that Evergreen was working on, the latter immediately searching for a medical set upon seeing who they found, and their condition.
"What kind of monster could have done this to them? I've heard they could rival Natsu with their destructiveness and ferocity.."Evergreen asked quietly as she bandaged Jesse's arms as blood began to flow freely.
"I can bet my babies on the soul I saw leaving the area, it was powerful enough to rival at least Laxus." Bickslow replied as he bit off another piece of bandage and wrapped it around Ty's forehead where a large cut had formed.
"Well in any case we need to evac them to Fairy Tail. They can be treated with actual medical care there." Freed said as he sterilized some water over the fire, and then poured it into a pan, where he placed several ingredients and then poured a light blue potion into it, mixing it all into a shining light blue concoction.
Quickly he uncorked two beakers and filled them to the brim, forcing the two injured twins to drink each one until it was empty. Then he placed Ty on his shoulders snd started to jog in the direction of magnolia.
"Evergreen put out the fire and follow us as quick as possible, Bickslow, I made the potion to stop their bleeding and halt any injuries they might have, but only for a couple hours, pickup the other Drakken, and we will run to Magnolia, if we hurry we can make it!" He yelled and continued to jog, breaking into a run as Bickslow caught up with him.
As Evergreen stomped out the remaining embers of the fire she cast a look towards magnolia, a frown on her face.
"What could have been so powerful that it took out mages of that caliber...?" She repeated to herself, but shook her head and gathered any essentials for the camp, before making her way after the boys.
-
As Evergreen asked herself this, one of the Drakken twins, Ty, spoke. He whispered so quiet that neither Bickslow nor freed heard him, but he spoke.
"Zancrow... I'm going.. I'm going.. To kill you.." He quietly said, a sliver of his eye peaking out from his eyelid, and then it closed again, Ty's mind going back to the darkness it had been in.
