monster234324 - Thanks for the critique, I'll try my best to do something about it at least :P. And yeah, I have to agree there's not much fanfics where it's the other way around, with Natsu leaving instead of Lucy leaving.
euan6boy3 - A Natsu x Erza huh? To be honest, I think the main story line of this will likely not have any pairings becoming official in the fanfic, more like just hints of pairings. But, we'll see how it goes and I might throw in some NaZa hints with NaLu, it all depends.
Icis blinked once. Then twice. She stared at Natsu then back. He stared at the 3, but he mainly focused on the blonde haired girl, Lucy whom Natsu spent more time talking about to Icis when she asked him about his former guild. Oh god, the cloak that the guild usually wore on missions or assaults wasn't on Natsu either so Erza,Gray, and Lucy could get a look at his face. Swiftly understanding the situation, Kaitlin and Terrance tackled Natsu to the ground, holding him down and pulling a hood over his face before the two kicked as hard as they could on Natsu's stomach, making him fall unconscious. Kaitlin jumped back as Terrance made the earth rupture up from the ground, encasing the two before it went back down, the two suddenly gone. Icis made a note to thank the 2 later. His old friends watched the pair's "cruel" actions in disbelief, clearly shocked that they did such a thing.
"Sorry... I can't afford to let you watch us Natsu." Icis whispered gently to the fire dragon slayer that was left in the base, even though he couldn't hear her at the moment. Then she raised her voice to speak to the trio.
"Now you 3,"
Turning to the 3 mages staring at her in fury now, she placed her hands on her hips and looked at them in the eyes.
"You three. Titania Erza, the Ice Wizard Gray, and Lucy. Of Fairy Tail."
The identified people stared at her with surprise for a moment, but then changed back to rage.
"You hurt your own friend? What kind of group are you?"
Erza demanded, exquipping her sword as Gray prepared to attack, Lucy grabbing her keys.
"Friend... well we are all friends, but that's for me to know, and you to never find out!" She said with a slight hint of cheerfulness, balling her fists in excitement.
"What kind of friend are you if you knock out your own friends?!" Gray was about to cast a spell until Icis held her hand up, making him stop. Her cheerful expression turned into a serious one in no time at all.
"Relax. How would you like to play this? A tag team 3 on 3 or a 1 on 1 for each of us."
Silence. A few moments passed as the wind blew as they waited. Eventually Icis got pretty impatient, however.
"Fine. 1 on 1. Ceren, fight Lucy. I'll take on Gray."
Icis knew well her friend over there was willing to fight Titania so she didn't say anything for her. When the guild was first started, she'd spend time with Icis talking about how she had always wanted to fight Erza, because the rumors say she was a great swordsman and said that her own swordsmanship skills could rival the requip mage's. They all nodded as the Fairy Tail mages glared and stood in a battle stance as each of the respective members walked over to their opponents. The battle was on, the winds have stopped raging to take in the duel that was about to erupt between the 2 groups, the Dragons and the Fairies.
Let's begin by showing the battle of Icis VS Gray, yes?
"Ice Make: Lance!"
Icis made a bored, disinterested face as she let the attack reach her and then a munching noise was heard. Gray's eyes widened. Was this match set up or something, or was it just bad luck?
"Hey, - munch - your ice tastes good. -Munch-."
The jet black haired woman finished eating his lances, munching on it happily. Then she shook her head and went serious yet again.
"No time to waste though. I don't want to be a charming piece of unconsciousness. Roar of the Ice Dragon!"
A roar of deathly cold ice blasted Gray, and it felt even worse than being in the middle of a blizzard without any clothes on while not being an ice mage. He suddenly lost his balance and slammed into a tree from the force, leaving a nice figure of Gray engraved into the tree. Apparently Icis wasn't taking the entire battle seriously as she stifled a laugh, while Gray gritted his teeth.
"Ice Make-"
She suddenly rushed up to him and slammed him into the ground with lightning speed. To Gray, it seemed she was pretty darn powerful, so he's gonna have to try his hardest, seeing that he's facing the LEADER of this group. However he faced plenty more powerful opponents, this should be no problem. Even though already she towered over him and sat as if she were straddling him, a palm on his chest and one hand up.
"Fist of the Ice Dragon!"
BAM!
The impact was so hard it drilled the Ice Make wizard into the ground, as she hit him right in the face. It seemed ice magic definitely won't work on her, so any magic from Gray is just gonna be a powerup to her. So then...
PUNCH!
He punched her in the face back, and she flinched from colliding with another tree, seeing that the battlefield was a forest. So then she smirked and punched him back in the face as she teleported infront of him. Icis suddenly felt a weight shift, as she found herself pinned down by the ice mage, and growled while struggling to loosen his hold on her. Gray kept a firm grip on her wrists, determined to win. She was an enemy. Then a roar was heard from her as she lifted her feet and kicked him on the stomach, sending him flying off of her as she rolled back and got up. Grinning a feral grin, she got ready as he charged at her, awaiting his next attack.
Moving on to the battle of Lucy VS Ceren~~
Ok, Lucy had to admit that he was pretty hot and kinda sexy. That dirty blonde hair that shone in the sun, his glittering eyes. He seemed like a prince, thinking of him as an enemy kind of looked hard to do. Who knew good looking men existed in this group? She couldn't help but stare, then realized she should be fighting and shook it off as she took out a key.
"Open, Gate of the Lion, Loke!"
Loke emerged from a glowing radiance as the male known as Ceren watched and blinked.
"Is he your boyfriend?"
"NO!"
"What do you think?"
The guy shrugged. It seemed pretty clear his fellow guildmate had described this lady especially as Icis had told him, and he couldn't see why his guildmate and her wouldn't make a nice couple. That was only his opinion though. It was just simply taking precautions. He had to admit he caught her staring at him, and taking a wild guess he predicted that she was having thoughts about his appearance. Probably concluding that he was "hot and sexy" too. Everyone did that to him in public when he wasn't his alter ego as a member of the Secret Dragons. Staring and then fan girls. Ceren honestly didn't understand why, and it happened so often his own guildmates were starting to not believe him when he said he didn't know what he did to make them act like that.
"Loke, attack him!"
"As you wish, princess."
"Don't call me that!"
Laughing, Ceren believed this girl and her spirits comedic. Unfortunately this was going to be nothing but an easy match. As the lion charged at him, an attack forming in his hand, he opened his mouth wide and...
SLURP.
The lion and the master gaped at him, then the formerly glowing hand.
"Did he just..."
"Eat my attack?"
"These two are seriously comedic;" Ceren thought as he prepared his own attack.
"Yes I just did, I am the Celestial Dragon Slayer miss, Fist of the Celestial Dragon!" He yelled as he hit Loke in the face, sending him back a meter.
"Loke!" The girl called out as she took out her whip. Whacking Ceren with it, his hand went to his face where a slash mark was neatly placed. Ack, so she doesn't stand behind her spirits and make them attack for her. Well that was good, he had never really met, heard, or seen one of those kind of celestial mages so he decided she was going to make things alot more interesting. After all, his own dragon Celestia taught him Celestial Spirits have feelings, and aren't just tools. A battle is a battle though, and it was indeed a must that they finish what they started. At the same time, Lucy was worried. She didn't realize the one she was fighting against was supposed to be a Celestial Dragon Slayer! Of all elements, she just HAD to fight the Celestial Dragon Slayer. Now all her spirits' attacks were rendered useless unless they somehow defeat him with pure brute force. Loke stood back up and she gave him a look that explained everything, and oh thank Mavis he got the message as he leapt at their enemy, the enemy launching his own attack.
"Roar of the Celestial Dragon!"
Lucy jumped to the side, swinging her whip to hit Ceren on the side of his stomach, but he rolled and dodged the whip by a mere centimeter. Loke came from behind and slammed into him in the back, causing the man to flinch and fall onto the grass, getting himself back up before either of them could launch another attack. The battle raged on like that, with Ceren deciding not to use any magic to make things more interesting, and the other two not intending to use any as any magic would just be a mere power up.
At the battle of Erza VS Kaitlin...
"Requip! Sea Empress!"
Erza changed into the Sea Empress armor, judging by the girl's unique appearance of a sky blue long sleeved shirt with a black and blue bow tie, and a pair of khaki shorts that stopped mid thigh. The girl also wore navy blue combat boots, a pair of black fingerless gloves with a symbol on it that Erza assumed was the guild's insignia, along with a black cape with white trims and neat blue feather earrings. The girl sported short black hair that covered most of her left eye, not as dark as the one fighting Gray however. Glistening goggles lay ontop of her head that were all different shades of blue. Two blades were slung over her back, with black sheathes. The girl raised an eyebrow at the Titania's armor as she drew the blades, and Erza gasped at them. They were blue, and flashing all different shades of blue in every angle with the handle black. She heard about those blades everywhere, but it was supposed to be lost, like most of the other legendary blades in the world.
"Are those.. The Muziakama twin blades?"
The girl, Kaitlin, smiled cheerfully.
"Yep! The Water Demon twin blades."
Erza flinched slightly. Those blades were extremely powerful, anyone who could manage to actually obtain it without dying or being proven to be weak should be a very powerful person. She had never really seen the actual power of these blades, who knows what was going to go down? Then the girl suddenly rushed at her.
"Water Dragon's Gliding Fury!"
A slash was heard, and Kaitlin suddenly was posed as if she just sliced something, her back to Erza. A crack opened up in the armor, as the Sea Empress armor cracked and broke into pieces like it was nothing. Erza requipped into the Black Wing Armor quickly, shocked but determined at the same time, the fiery in her eyes not dissipating. She released a battle cry as she drew another extra sword and fought the girl, who's swordsmanship was amazingly high, possibly higher than Erza's herself. Deflecting every attack from the scarlet haired mage, the water dragon slayer lashed out a foot and kicked her stomach, sending the mage flying back. Erza noted the girl's battle perception was extremely high aswell, as she was able to spot even the smallest of openings. She'd need to clearly be completely on guard against the girl. Unfortunately she spent too much time taking note of the girl that she didn't notice her opponent was behind her already.
"Water Dragon's Slashing High!"
Thrusting both her swords from under the Titania, the water dragon slayer sent her flying up in a powerful uppercut arc, then jumping up after her.
"Water Dragon's Twin Blades: Dragon Splitter!"
She consecutively sliced the Fairy Queen, making her cry out in pain before kicking her again in the stomach, sending her flying back down to the ground as she left a crater in the earth.
"This girl is amazing! Just how far can her magic go..?!"
Managing to at least throw her blade as she swung herself back up, the blade hit Kaitlin on the shoulder, ripping off most of her left sleeve and leaving blood oozing from the shoulder wound. She flinched, letting out a cry and loosened the hold on one of her blades a little as she clutched the wound, before throwing the blade that was in her right hand over her back. Then she ran up to Erza and began fighting her with one sword, leaving her right arm unusable as Erza fought, getting a small advantage as she gradually managed to land more blows on the water dragon slayer. Elbowing Erza, Kaitlin sent her skidding back a little, the requip mage taking a breath.
"Even though I rendered her right arm useless, she still has the upper hand..."
Erza thought as she struggled to get up. It was clear this mission was going to be harder than the flier had said.
Meanwhile, at the Secret Dragons HQ...
Natsu slowly opened an eye as he looked around. He was in the Secret Dragons' head quarters.. wait. He vividly remembered running out to see his old friends, and being kicked in the gut harshly by a woman's combat boot and a man's sneaker... man that hurt! He tried to sit back up but was pushed back down by Terrance.
"Nope. You're not getting out of here until Icis gives the all clear."
"WHAT?"
Natsu growled and set his fists aflame, but Terrance wasn't affected by those flames he's come to know in one year. He still kept a straight face as Natsu glared at him from his laying down position on the comfy couch. This was no time to be relaxing on a couch for Natsu though.
"But, Lucy...!"
"Nope. She's gonna get taken down hard. Ceren's fighting her."
"Terrance...!"
Terrance really agitated Natsu. The earth dragon slayer mainly did it on purpose, and this was when he was doing it on purpose AND not on purpose. Terrance rolled his eyes calmly.
"Don't worry, we're not gonna kill them or something dude."
Natsu growled and tried to get up again, ready to head out and see his old friends until he felt something under his feet. The earth around Natsu jolted up and encaged him all of a sudden, which surprised the fire dragon slayer. After the earth had finished molding itself together into a cage, it left a tiny hole only for him to see and get air.
"Natsu, NO. Bad boy. You're staying there, no matter what. You're the prisoner, I'm the warrant. You're not getting out."
Cursing in response, he huffed and sat down in the earthen cage. The window widened a little and a pillow with a blanket was thrown in, then the window went back to normal before readjusting itself so that Natsu could see while sitting down. The fire dragon slayer really wanted to see his old friends again, after being booted out by the Magic Council, but he knew he didn't really want to deny ICIS. God, Icis was freakin' SCARY! Scarier than Erza. Then a question popped to mind as he thought of something.
"Terrance, who's Icis fighting?"
Terrance looked at Natsu through the window. Well, rectangular hole rather.
"Gray. Gray Fullbuster."
Natsu gulped a little. Gray would see how scary that demon- no, there wasn't even a word to describe how scary Icis can get when she's driven over the edge. Well not that Gray would get to see that undescribable evil person she could be, as Natsu knew that Icis would win, hands down as Icis was probably happily eating all of his attacks right now. He just hoped they didn't go overboard and accidentily murder his frie-. Wait. What if they do murder his old friends? Igniting his hands, he punched the earthen cage, but he didn't even make a dent.
"I said don't worry Natsu, they won't kill your friends. I promise!" Terrance called out as if he had read the caged dragon slayer's mind.
CRASH!
"Water Dragon's Double Crescent!"
CLASH!
"Ah, the Mizuakama blades." Terrance scowled a little at the fact that his frenemy Kaitlin wielded such powerful blades. He'd never admit it, but Natsu and Icis knew he was personally jealous that she had them. He did well covering his jealousy though.
"Ice Dragon's Frozen Fury!"
BOOM!
"Celestial Dragon's Star Gazer!"
BANG!
More noises and the sound of clashing rang in Natsu's ears. He sighed as he sat down in his earthen cage, then growled again.
"Terrance, you bastard..."
Okay back to the finishing of every battle*.
"HAAAAAAAAH!"
"HAAAAAAAA!"
Both the fighters, Gray, and Icis, slammed their fists into eachother's faces, with Icis putting more force in her punch as she sent him into the grass, panting from the brawl.
"Gah!"
Gray collapsed on the ground, defeated. The victor stood over him, with varying bruises and cuts, plus there was a small trace of blood on her mouth. She quickly wiped it away as he lay there, unable to move. They were really no match for this group after all, this was about S class even! For once they had failed a mission. He couldn't move at all, not even a muscle. This girl really knocked him down to size, but he assumed this was supposed to be expected. She was the ice dragon slayer, ice mages were no contest against her. As he slipped into unconsciousness, he heard her say one thing before he fell.
"He won't be mad at this hopefully.."
Lucy was pretty much in the same position as Gray. One moment she's attacking a guy who was definitely pretty hot, the next she's down on the ground, while he hardly even break a sweat. At least she tried, even though she knew it was no use. All Lucy had managed to do was give him plenty of bruises and some cuts, with a new slash on his cheek. She prepared for some kind of finishing move he probably would cast on her, but she saw he just crossed his arms and then crouched down, picking her up as she, too began to lose consciousness. Where was he taking her to? Did they plan to start a war with Fairy Tail by taking them hostage? These questions bubbled in her head and remained unanswered as she slumped, now unconscious as the man carried her to who knows where. Lucy had lost, just like Gray to her respectable opponent.
This extremely powerful girl had defeated the Titania in only minutes, however paying the price of many cuts,scratches, and bruises. Not to mention, her right sleeve was ripped off from the battle, revealing a bloody arm. Her shorts had small tears, and there were pieces of missing cloth on her shirt here and there. The blue goggles on her forehead were slightly rearranged to the upper left, and a few out of place hairs were on her hair. Kaitlin was polishing her blades peacefully with a warm blue hankerchief, a blade laying on the grass while she cleaned it with her left hand. She didn not even bother to tend to her wounds or her bloody shoulder wound, as reflected the blade in the sunlight to see if it looks good with it's dazzling blue shades in every angle. Erza lay on the grass, slowly slipping away, and just slipping away even faster if she tried to get up. In another attempt to get up, the girl stopped her this time.
"Stop. Lie down and slip away peacefully, please. I don't really wanna kill you. Well he would kill me anyways if I really did, but I wouldn't do that.."
Erza fell back down on the grass hesitantly. What a mystery. They're enemies yet she treats her like a friend somewhat. And who was this he?
"W-Who is this.. h-he..?"
It was barely above a whisper, but she heard it anyways and she perked up, scratching the back of her head nervously as she put one blade down.
"Ah... it's no one, really. It's no one at all, nope maybe it's an alter ego in the back of my mind. Go sleep."
She knew Kaitlin didn't want to say "pass out" again as it probably made her sound like a bad person to Erza. Deciding this girl really wasn't so bad, the Titania talked to her a little more before passing out.
"Okay then... w-what's your name?"
She turned to Erza. She smiled softly at her, and the smile was beautiful, it was like the sea was smiling at her.
"When you get better, maybe, just maybe I'll tell you. Don't make your pain worse, please."
Erza gave a small laugh and nodded, before giving in on herself and passing out.
God sorry I made this chapter so... so LAME LOL. What do you think? Like, hate? Leave a review maybe? Anything you want me to try my best to work on? Any thoughts on this story? Thanks for reading! Oh yeah, a little note.
There won't be any pairings becoming official in the main storyline. I might make an epilogue where one happens, even though a Natsu x Lucy would most likely be pulled off. Unless, you have a different opinion on what pairing you want me to make? I'm open to almost all pairing ideas. Even though it's likely a Natsu x Lucy, I'm currently considering a Natsu x Erza. Just review your preference for a pairing if you want a Natsu x Erza or something, even though currently it should probably turn out NaLu. IF, IF I get enough people requesting one different pairing other than NaLu, I'll have you people vote on which pairing you'd prefer to happen in a possible epilogue. If I decide to make an epilogue, that's where a pairing will become official in the story. Again, the main story will likely have mainly some hints.
* Sorry... school was really bothering me and I guess I was kind of determined to update this weekend so I sort of rushed up on the battles. Sorry, I'll try my best not to do that often!
That's all. And again, like, hate? Leave a review maybe? Anything I can work on? Thanks for reading~!
