Krika: Hey guys, welcome to the second chapter of Dragon Rising. This chapter will start aligning with the main plot of Fairy Tail, but my OC characters will not get involved in any way. There will also be references as well. Anyway, enjoy the story and leave any comments until the end of the chapter. Let's begin!


*Five Days After what Happened in the 1st Chapter...*

Yugo, Alice, and Kaze have been going on jobs frequently together, and mostly the harder to take on jobs as well, ones that went up to 100,000 Jewel. Right now, the three and the two cats were at the request board.

"Aw man...where'd that book job go? That was 200,000...I could buy some good crystals with that kind of money..." Yugo said in disappointment.

"A couple wizards from Fairy Tail took that job not too long ago. Plus I heard that the client raised the reward to 2 million," a guild member told them, which made their jaws drop in shock.

"2 million Jewel?! Who the heck pays that much money just to get one book?!" Kaze exclaimed.

"Yeah! That's like S-Class pay! Whoever the client is, he must be pretty damn desperate!" Yugo said.

"It must be one expensive book then!" Ciel said.

"I don't think that's the case Ciel..." Alice retorted.

"Well, we can go with this one. Some rogue wizards have been giving a nearby town a hard time" Kaze takes the request, where the reward was 10,000 Jewel.

"Okay then, let's get going," Yugo said, grabbing his bag.

"Yeah, let's go! Gotta pay off rent at the dorms somehow," Alice said, following Yugo with Kaze.

I feel like I'm forgetting something about these two... Kaze thought, trying to think of something.


*Travelling by Cart...*

Yugo and Alice were laying on their backs, looking a little green as well. This is something that they figured is common with all Dragon Slayers...they all get motion sickness...

"Oh yeah...you two get sick just by stepping one foot into a vehicle..." Kaze said to the two sick wizards.

"Shut up..." Yugo said, trying not to lose his lunch.

"You'd figure that this wouldn't be a big deal at all, since you guys go on so many missions" Candy said.

"Yeah...but really me and Yugo have you and Ciel to fly us to our destination..." Alice said sickly.

"True..." Ciel said.

"I still don't get that. You two are cats, yet you can walk upright, talk, and have wings. What's up with that?" Kaze asked the two cats.

"Hey, we don't know either, okay? Kinda a good idea to just accept the fact we can fly" Ciel retorted to the sand wizard.

"But it still makes me wonder...we're cats, but we came out of eggs that Alice and Yugo found a week after joining the guild. So...are we dragons or something?" Candy said, pondering the thought.

Ciel just sweatdropped and had a deadpanned smile, "Uhh...don't think too much about it Candy...kinda a complicated thing, really"

Suddenly, the cart stopped, making Alice and Yugo perk up.

"Hey, we're here," Kaze said before jumping at Yugo and Alice shouting in joy.

"Alright! Let's get this job done!" Yugo said, some fire in his eyes.


The group walked into the town, which was called Yukumo Town, known to be a trading route for many merchant guilds. In fact, there many stalls that had items for sale.

"Wow. Guess we got here just in time. Seems like a good majority of the merchant guilds are here selling stuff," Alice said, looking at all the stalls.

"Well, the client should be around here..." Kaze said, looking around.

"Hey! Are you two wizards?" One of the merchants called out to the group.

"Yeah. We're from Rising Dragon," Yugo told the merchant.

"Oh thank goodness! I'm glad you came to help me with this town's problem!" The merchant said.

"So, what seems to be the problem? The request said that there are some rogue wizards messing with this peaceful town," Ciel said.

"Well...you see, me and all these other merchants are scared to leave town. And that's because the wizards ambush travelling merchants and steal all of their valuables," The merchant explained to the wizards.

"Well, don't worry, we'll handle them in no time at all. How many can there be anyway?" Yugo said.

"Well...there's always been ten that have been seen by the people who were robbed by them," the merchant told them.

"Ten? Oh man...this is going to be tough depending on their magic..." Alice said, a bit nervous.

"We've handled worse...but, just to be safe, we might as well stock up on supplies," Kaze said to his fellow guild members.

"I can give you any supplies that I can spare. It's the least I can do for you for helping the town," The merchant said, giving the each of them supplies that they would need in dealing with the rogue wizards.

"Thanks. We'll get this done as soon as we can. Then you guys will be free to move through the routes freely," Kaze said, and he and the others head out to deal with the wizards.


*Some Time Later...*

The group was travelling through the main trade route that people have said that the rogue wizards have been hanging around.

"Alright...let's be careful...Ciel, Candy stay close to us, alright?" Yugo said to the two cats.

"Right," The two said at the same time.

Yugo stopped and sniffed the air, and quickly makes Alice and Kaze duck and a lightning bolt sails over them, "Crap! That was close! I barely picked up that scent!"

"Where did that come from?! And was that Lightning Magic?!" Alice said, pretty worried since Lightning Magic is her weakness, what with her element being water.

"Well, well, well. Looks like the townsfolk got some wizards to help them," A voice said from what seemed to be everywhere.

"They look to be from an official guild. But I'm sure they're not as strong as the last group of wizards who came into this forest," another voice said.

"So you're from a Dark Guild, huh? Figures..." Kaze said, readying himself.

"Oh yeah. We're the Draco Venatores Guild," One of the several voices said.

"Draco Venatores? That means dragon hunters..." Yugo said, growing agitated.

"Yeah. We hunt mainly wyverns and drakes, and the rarer, the better. Means more money for us," Another one of the voices said with a chuckle, angering the Dragon Slayers even more. Even though wyverns and drakes aren't classified as actual dragons, they're at least closely related to them.

"That's it! You crossed the line! Crystal Dragon Roar!," Yugo took a deep breath and made a funnel with his hands at his mouth, a white magic circle with a dragon's head in the center appeared in front of him before exhaling a mass of crystal shards at some trees, tearing them to shreds and causing some of the mysterious figures jump out of the way.

"What the hell?! Dragon Slayer Magic?!" One of the figures, who were all wearing cloaks, shouted in shock.

"You're messing with the Rising Dragon Guild here, buddy!" Yugo said, ready to go off the handle at any moment.

"Rising Dragon? So, you're that Guild that's themed after dragons. Even though no one has seen one," One of the figures said, raising a covered hand and a yellow magic circle appears.

Kaze put his fist in his palm as a brown magic circle appears, "Sand Make: Shield!," Kaze throws his arms outward as a wall of sand rises and blocks the Lightning Magic.

"Take this! Water Dragon Roar!," Alice took a deep breath and made a funnel with her hands over her mouth and a blue Dragon Slayer magic circle appeared in front of her and she unleashed a mass of water that washed away a couple of the rogue wizards from the force of the attack.

"TWO Dragon Slayers!?" One of the several figures shouted in surprise as he was washed away.

"You might as well give up right now!" Kaze shouted to them.

They heard someone chuckling and a tall figure walked out of the shadows, he was cloaked like all the other Dark Guild wizards, except he didn't have a hood up. He had black, neatly combed hair with a long black beard. He had a scar over his left eye, which was fogged over, indicating he was blind in his left eye. His right eye was a deep red color, "Give up? I don't think our guild doesn't know the meaning of the word, little dragon," The man said in a gruff voice. (Little dragon is basically an insult to a Rising Dragon member)

"Y-Yuro!" One of the dark wizards said, him, as well as the others started backing away, disappearing in the darkness.

"Seems like your friends don't agree..."

"They fled so I they wouldn't get caught in the crossfire," Yuro, the name of the man, said before he held a hand up and a black magic circle appeared, "Dark Spear!". A spear made of darkness shot out of the magic circle and went towards Yugo, who crossed his arms.

"Crystal Dragon Scales!" Thick, crystal scales appeared all over his body, which managed to block the magic attack, but he was still sent flying into a tree, making him gasp from losing air from his lungs before he slumped against the tree, trying to catch his breath.

"Yugo!" Alice shouted before turning to the man and glared before she rose her right hand up as water wrapped around it, "Water Dragon Slicer!". She threw her right hand out as the water went out towards the man, who dodge it as the water cut straight through a boulder, destroying it.

"Sand Make: Hammer!" Kaze shouted, using his Maker Magic to slam a hammer made of sand on the man, who took it like it was nothing.

"My turn...Shadow Spikes," Multiple spikes made of darkness shot out of the ground, causing the three to start dodging the attacks.

"Yugo!" Alice reached into her bag and got out a Fire Lacrima and threw it towards him, which he caught quickly and ate it quickly and swallowed it.

"Thanks...now it's time to get serious! Ruby Dragon...ROAR!," Yugo unleashed his breath attack, but instead the crystal shards were a ruby color and caught fire, causing the man's eye's to widen and try to dodge the attack, but was unsuccessful as the crystals caught his cloak on fire, causing him to toss it aside.

"Damn...that was a dirty trick you brat!" Yuro shouted towards a grinning Yugo.

"Like that? Any Lacrima I eat, I gain its elemental properties and can unleash them," Yugo explained.

Yuro just growled, "Fine then...guess I can't really keep up with you three little dragons after all...but this won't be the last you've seen of us..." The older figure said before jumping back into the darkness, disappearing.

"Well, that went better than I thought," Kaze said, putting his hands in his coat pockets.

"Yeah...but we better report this back to Master Walrus. He'll want to know about this," Alice said as Candy and Ciel came out of hiding behind a tree.

"Good idea, let's tell the client we got the job done and head home," Ciel said to the three.

After telling the merchant that the rogue wizards wouldn't be bothering anyone anymore, they got their pay and some supplies as a bonus, before they headed back home.


"I see...so you fought against a small band of wizards from a Dark Guild, eh?" Walrus said, having listened to the three's report.

"Yeah. There was also this big guy who calls himself Yuro. He seems to use a sort of darkness magic," Kaze said.

"Yuro you say? That's the right-hand man of the Draco Venatores guild...I'm surprised you two managed to push him back," The guildmaster said, intrigued.

"I doubt that was enough to push them back for good. They'll be back to cause trouble again," Yugo said, getting a nod from Walrus.

"I would assume so. Dark Guilds are quite stubborn. So you may end up fighting them in the near future"

"We figured. So everyone will have to be careful as they go on jobs," Alice said.

"Agreed. Now you three get some rest. No doubt you all used quite a bit of magical energy," Walrus suggested to the three, who complied and went to their dorms. Draco Venatores...now you show your hand...brother...
