Chapter 2.
The wind blew gently, moving the black hair of the archer, and a beautiful arrow was released, flying toward the leader, toward his head.
Wolf stood there near his brother, his eyes narrowed as he watched the arrow move speedily toward the man who's back was turned toward them, unsuspecting to the danger he was in.
Just as the arrow came close to the man's skull the black and white haired teen who up until now was sitting on a flying carpet with closed eyes suddenly opened them and to Adelwof utter surprise the arrow flew back toward them.
The black haired boy cursed as he easily identified the magic in use.. "Reflector "... But a thin smile appeared on his own face as he acssed his magic circuits to use their family magic.. " Flash air" he said quietly and the arrow vanished from its trajectory and appeared right behind the teen who didn't have enough time to conjure any defense and the arrow striked him in his back.. It wasn't anything fatal.. As he was to preoccupied in making sure to activate the spell in such a short time. But the wound was still more than enough to distract the teen which brought Wolf's brother to shoot continuously toward the other wizards.
But the now alerted dark mages were able to avoid the projectiles.
The light wizards stood there dumbstruck at what happened and didn't move for a moment too long, a moment which let the black and white teen to recuperate and activate his magic again, manipulating the light through distortion to create an illusion.
Wolf cursed the incompantace of the legal wizards.. TirFor even though he was able to break the illusion the enemy were no where in sight.
" Damn it!" he called in his anger and turning toward the group of the wizards " You useless morans!" the younger Ainsworth called " You had them right there! Why didn't you act?! Now we lost the surprise advantage!" he was maybe twelve but his voice was full of authority.
Lucy flinched at the child's tone, she couldn't understand how the boy was so intimidating when he was barely coming to her waist.
He would have continued to runt if his brother didn't put a hand on his shoulder " Wolf.. Calm down right now!" he spoke with power which made the younger sibling flinch.
" I am sorry Oni sama" he said quietly subdued.
The blonde girl could only watch in bewilderment as the tiger of just a second ago became a subdued kitten a second later.. She wondered what kind of power did the older man had on the young one.
Adelbert moved forward and bowed his head " I apologize for my brother's behavior.. He gets edgy when something doesn't go according to his plans" he said apologetically.
The wizard saint shook his head " No Adelbert san... He is correct, we blundered and lost the surprise advantage we had over them.. Now they have the chance to regroup and plan as we don't really know where they went" he hung his head in shame.
The salmon haired dragon slayer looked at all of them with a weird expression on his face " What's the problem?" he asked curiously as he couldn't understand.
" Well... They run away and now have the chance to ambush us.. And we have no way to detect..." the scarlet haired girl suddenly froze before she finished the sentence and looked at the boy once again when she suddenly exclaimed " Yes! Of course!" she turned to the black haired mercenary her hand pointed at the dragon slayer" Him! He is our answer! " she called.
The others looked at her as if she lost her mind.. Well all aside from the dragon slayer himself who looked dumbly at the others.
A second later realization hit the young mercenary" Damn! You are a genius " he called to the older red hair who's stance changed into a proud one as if saying yes o am well aware of the fact.
The older mercenary just nodded" Makes sense... With the dragon slayers sense of smell we can easily track the dark guild down while beeing alerted to any ambushes... Good thinking " Adelbert nodded his head.
" Then we shouldn't loose any time.. Let us continue our pursuit " Jura concluded which prompted the others to nod, and a second later the entire group moved out.

As the group moved, the two mercenaries moved through another route as they preferred.
" Oni sama " the younger man turned to his brother" You should use more prana against them... They are not some third rate wizards or some thugs.. They are a high level wizards " he spoke calmly but his voice indicated on his distress.
The older man smiled" There was no point with the first arrow.. I was just planning on a one hit kill.. As for the rest... Well one shouldn't use all his tricks right at the beginning right? "he asked with a smile.
" Your arrogance will be your undoing one day... " he paused for a moment his mind drifted to something" But I do agree that using your noble phantasm will be anti climactic in this situation " he admitted.
" Well.. I don't know.. The reflection magic is a powerful one.. I will most likely have to use it to bypass it " he wondered aloud.
A frown appeared on the younger boy's face" That's why i told you to learn our family magic... Flash air is the most suitable weapons against this sort of problems " the boy ranted.
" Well.. "the older brother begun to say when he suddenly stopped, his senses warning him of danger.
Just as the land beneath them changed into a mudd and the two started to sink down.
From the shadows a giant man appeared his hair was long and orange but what was most eye catching about him was that his entire body looked as if it was composed of geometrical figures with no round parts at all.
" Oh.. How fortunate I am.. Truly I am for my pray worth a lot of money.. And I have money while you don't as such I will definitely defeat you! So I will be able to get even more money!" the man chuckled.
With a burst of Prana the two released themselves from the mudd and jumped back each to a different side.
The long curved bow came into the older siblings hand" Well.. I guess we are going to have some fun " he grinned darkly.

The other wizards moved forward, guided by Natsu's sense of smell. They finally halted in front of a small shack which was standing in the middle of the forest.
" They are here " the slayer said seriously.
Jura moved forward, his hands clasped which brought to the earth to move beneath the shack.
The small construct shook wildly before it was destroyed, leaving nothing but one bed which was located and a huge pile of clothes.
The redhead's eyes widened as she turned around wildly "We are being ambushed!" she called as she requiped into her heavens wheel armor.
Before they could respond they were assulted with several kinds of magic, from darkness magic to the wind blades generated by the distortion of the air.
Natsu tried to move but jumped back instead as a second later the place where he stood just a moment ago was spammed with poisoned needles which were thrown by a man with maroon hair and purple eyes.
" Tsk.. Stupid brat.. Let's see how much you will like the bite of my familiar" he said darkly.
It was pure instinct which let Natsu avoid the bite of the huge poisonous snake which assulted him from behind.
The maroon haired man jumped forward purple energy engulfing his hand as he tried to strike the man in front of him.
As all this was going on, Wendy was standing behind them all, her eyes darting around in fear as she tried to hide from the entire ordeal.. She wasn't a cowered but she knew very well that she wouldn't be any help and only stand in the way of the others.
Carla was seating on her shoulder " Be careful child.. I don't know what were you even thinking about when you came here" she remarked snidely.
The blue haired girl just sighed as she was already used to the white furred cat.
Suddenly her breath was caught in her lungs as she was caught by someone roughly and at the same time Carla was knocked from her shoulder.
She wanted to scream but the man, who to her felt as if he moved faster than the wind put his hand to her mouth as he ran away with her.
Meanwhile the battle continued with the legal wizards being pushed back.
It was at this point that the white haired leader of the dark guild smiled " Keep them busy Midnight" he said with a sinister grin on his face.
The teen nodded as he continued his assult upon the light wizards, while his adopted father retreated for their next step in the mission. But not before he sent a wave of the 'dark rondo' to distract them further.

Wolf smiled slightly as he used his blade to cut through the waves of liquid earth which the earth wizard was assaulting him with and subsequently attacking back, which forced the bigger man to defend himself leaving him no room to attack.
In the mean time his brother stood on the side, his bow in hand as he looked bored at the entire procedure, his finger touching the string of his bow and a smile appeared on his face as he lifted the weapon, and knocked an arrow.. Now that the man was distracted it made his work much easier so with a sinister smile he released the arrow which he pumped with prana.
The arrow stroke just as Hoteye summoned another mud wall, but instead of sticking inside the arrow instead crashed through the liquid earth and striked the man in his stomach and with a loud boom the arrow exploded sending the man flying.
Without hesitation the younger sibling moved forward creating wind blades and sent them after the airborne wizard.
When the dust from the small brawl settled down, the two siblings were gritted with the scene of the earth mage lying on the ground , his body bruised and bleeding.
Moving closer to the unconscious man the older man kicked the giant. A grunt was his response. " He is alive alright... The magic council will be pleased" he snickered.
" We don't have time to lose.. Come on we need to see how the others doing" he said as he turned to the direction from which the now unconscious man came from " Let's hurry" he said as he started to move.
Adelbert sighed deeply as he followed his younger sibling.

Wendy was afraid.. There was no other way to explain what she felt.. It was pure primal fear.. Like an animal fearing for its life as it sees the hunter.
She looked around her, she was in a small room which was barren and had nothing but a single coffin. She was currently alone after the man who brought her here returned back , but she could smell that outside the leader of the dark guild was coming.
A shiver run through her body as the door opened and the man entered, his long white hair falling on his back, his steps were full of confidence.
" So young dragon slayer... It is a pleasure to meet you" he said with a small smile " My name is Brain and I am the guild leader of the oracion seis"
" What is it that you want from me?" she asked trying to hide her fear behind a mask of bravado " Am I simply a hostage?"
The man shook his head " Oh no little dragon.. You are not merely a hostage.. You see we need your help"
" I will never help you!" she called, anger and defiance was filling her voice.
The man chuckled " Such a spirit.. I admire you for your courage girl.. But you got it all wrong.. You will help us" he said as he moved toward the coffin " Please come.. Take a look" he urged her as he opened the lead.
Wendy wanted to refuse.. She wanted to protest.. But she knew she couldn't and so she approached the coffin cautiously and froze.
For in the coffin was lying a boy.. His mop of blue hair and handsome face.. It was him, the boy who saved her.. Who helped her when she needed the most, and here he was lying in the coffin without moving. Her heart clenched.. How did this happen to him?
" I can't help you... I cannot revive a dead man" she spoke with sadness in her voice.
The man.. Brain.. Shook his head " Oh no little dragon.. The boy is very much alive.. He is just in comma.. And he knows something that I want to know.. Aren't you indebted to him sky dragon? Isn't that your duty to save him like he did you?" he asked with a cruel smile as he saw the young girl flinch.
Wendy felt torn... The boy was there.. She owed him her life.. But on the other hand.. She felt her head starting to hurt as she couldn't decide.
" what the matter sky dragon " he taunted" where is your thankfulness for the boy who risked his life for you? What a little bad girl you are " he said with a cruel smile.
She couldn't take it any longer... The guilt was eating at her very core with every word the man said and finally she broke under the pressure and nodded slowly" I.. I will help you to revive him if I can.. I owe him this much " she said sadly as she moved toward him.
Brain smiled a cruel smile.. He was one step closer now to his end goal.

The brothers arrived on the battlefield, and they stopped in their tracks.. For the battle wasn't going as they had expected.. For although the legal wizards had the advantage of numbers and they were holding.. That was all that they were holding.. Even if they are to win it will take some time..
Wolf sighed deeply " They are a bunch of useless idiots aren't they?" he asked his sibling only to notice the man looking around as if trying to determined something.
" Oni sama?" the younger one asked " Is everything alright?"
" Tell me Wolf.. Wasn't there a blue haired girl with the group? " he asked.
Adelwolf suddenly looked around panicked.. Reinforcing his eyes he tried to find her in the middle of the battle but he couldn't find her.. When his eyes caught the white cat which was with the girl.
" Adelbert.. Look there.. The white feline" he pointed.
The man's eyes widdend "We should hurry" he said as he broke into a sprint.

Carla was standing there afraid to move.. All around her the wizards were fighting and she knew none of them could help her.. The white cat cursed.. She knew she shouldn't have let the girl come here..
She felt despair rising in her heart.. She couldn't do anything.. She couldn't help Wendy... She..
Her line of thought was cut by the arrival of the two black haired man.. The older one approached her with urgency " Oi cat... Tell us.. Where is the blue haired girl?" he asked with panic.
Carla's heart fluttered.. There was someone who could help Wendy! She really wanted to chew their head off for not being here earlier.. But she did not have the time.. She will teach them a good lesson later after all will be resolved.
So hurriedly she told the two what happened, which brought the two of them into anger.
" which way did they go?" the older one asked.
" There" she pointed.
" Very well... Come on Wolf.. We have to hurry" the older told the younger who nodded.
And before she could say anything the two sprinted toward the direction she pointed leaving just a cloud of dust behind them.
