Two Chapters today, Chapters 3 & 4

Asuka's POV

I stepped down the empty stone hall, calling out for my siblings every once in a while.

"Still nothing." I said as my hallway came to an end "This place is like a maze."

"Damn another dead end." I heard someone say "Were the hell's that treasure room."

A man walked into the same room as me. He was wearing a heavy leather jacket that was lined with fur; he also had on black jeans. He had shaggy blonde hair on his head and a gold chain around his neck.

This guy and I looked at each other for a second before I pulled out a pistol and he dropped into a casting position.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Asuka, a wizard from Fairy Tail, I'm here to make sure no one opens the treasure room."

"Well that's why my team is here." He smirked "To crack open the Treasure room and make out like kings!"

"HA!" He slammed his hands into the ground and a crystal spike knocked me into the air.

"Hyp!" I turned around in the air and fired a shot at the guy.

He spread his hands a crystal shield appeared to block the bullets. I landed on the floor and fired again, and again he made a shield to block me.

It's like Uncle Gray's Magic.

"I didn't think Treasure Hunter Guilds used magic." I said while my hand was in position to fan the hammer of my revolver.

"Well my team does." He said "I am Ring, a Crystal-Make Mage!"

"Ha!" I pulled the trigger and fired off three shots.

Ring punched the floor and a pillar which carried him up over the bullet.

"Crystal-Make Gauntlet!"

A claw of gems covered his arm, jumped down and slashed at me.

"Crashing Planets!" I switched my revolver out for a shotgun "Eat Buckshot!"

I fired while he was right on top of me.

"Direct Hit." I smirked.

The person I just shot faded away.

"But how?" I said.

"Crystals reflect light in special ways don't you think?" Ring said "Gems are so beautiful."

"It was…an illusion." I said "A refraction of the light."

I saw the man running at me so I got ready to block, only to be drilled in the back with a kick.

"GAH!" I stumbled to the ground before rolling over and firing again but missed.

Damn…I hope the others are alright…If this guy's got buddies down here…

Rex's POV

I was trying to get down the hall but now someone was blocking my path.

"What's a punk kid like you doing here?" the man asked me.

I just shrugged.

"You don't talk much do ya kid."

I just nodded yes.

The man rubbed his black goatee. He also had a black faux-hawk and was wearing some kind of sports jersey and pants.

"Are you a ghost or something?" he asked.

I just shook my head no.

"Are you mute?"

"No…" I mumbled "Are…you from Rabbit's Foot?"

"Speak up I can't hear you."

"I said are you with the treasure hunters?"

"Yep. Tarik of Rabbit's Foot at your service."

"Oh okay." I said "Well then you should turn back. I won't let you get to the treasure room."

"So now you're getting all ballsy." He said "I'm not letting some punk slow me down."

I took my hat off and shook my hair "Is that a threat?"

The man held his hand up "Sound Blast!"

A painfully loud roar shook the entire hallway. The ripple of the air made my long hair blow but I stood firm.

"Could you keep it down?" I asked "I prefer quiet."

"Disturbed!"

This time the roar made my insides quiver.

"I asked you nicely." I sighed whipping my hair.

"Wolf Fang Hair!"

"High Whistle!" a very high pitched whistle rang out but it did nothing to stop my hair.

"Why didn't that stop it? That whistle always stops mutts."

He thought it was a real dog…wow.

He jumped away as my hair slammed the ground.

I thought this would be a nice quiet trip to the jungle…guess not…

Aqua's POV

"HNGG!" I groaned dragging myself along the floor "Stupid tail!"

With no way to dry myself off I was forced to crawl forward on my stomach.

"This is gonna give me a rash I just know it." I whined "This is why Mom always says to pack a towel."

I continued my slug like attempt to get more the twenty feet. I had been out of the water for at least a half hour, but the ruins were so dark and damp that getting dry was a bit of an issue.

*Shing!*

I rolled over as a spike emerged from the floor. Suddenly a dozen more came out and I kept rolling to avoid them.

Did I trip a pressure plate?

The only bonus from having to roll out of the way was that I was able to move faster this way. The spikes were emerging from the ceiling, the walls, and the floor.

"Sit still!"

Who's that?

I rolled out into a large room with two fires going inside pots. Near them were two wall fonts spewing water into basins.

Inside the room was a woman with orange hair done up like huge spikes. She was also wearing coveralls, like you'd see a mechanic wear. When she touched the floor it warped and molded to a sharp point.

If I don't get to that fire and dry off I'll get skewered.

"HYAAA!" the woman threw a small rock at me.

She pointed at it and in midair it became a spike.

"Spike Magic: Rock Pointer!"

I pushed off the floor and avoided the projectile. I threw myself over to the fire and started drying myself off.

"Come on…come on…" I begged "Can't you go faster."

The woman was running right at me brandishing another huge spike.

"Water Slicer!" I commanded the water in the nearby basin out and had it slice her weapon.

"Grrrr." The woman growled.

"Are you with those treasure hunters?" I asked her "Who are you."

I can feel it I just need to by another few seconds.

"My name is Quinn, and I'm going to make your bottom half into my dinner."

"GROSS!" I yelled.

Not that it be out of the ordinary, Nona tries to eat my tail all the time.

I heard a ripping noise and saw my legs were back to normal.

"Alright." I said standing up and getting my balance.

"So much for fish sticks." The woman complained.

I waved my hand and summoned my jar "I might not be able to do anything about your hunger-"

I picked up the jar and swung it at her, letting out a gush of water "-but I can sure quench your thirst!"

Nona's POV

"Guys!" I whined "Are you there?!"

I had been walking for ages now and I hadn't seen anyone, not Asuka, not Rex, not even Aqua or Cornelia…and not even Serena.

"GUUUUUYYYYYSSSS?" I moaned.

I heard my keys jingle.

"I guess I could call out someone to keep me company." I thought.

"Open!" I held the key high "Gate of Canis Minor: Nikola!"

"~Puuun~" the little dog shiver.

"Well hello Plue Jr." I said picking him up "Will you walk with me."

"~Puuun~"

This Nikola was different then Mom's. I call him Plue Jr; he looks just like regular Plue except he has a yellow tint to him and he's a tab smaller.

"You see anyone Plue?" I asked.

He shook his head no.

"Me to."

I suddenly felt the whole hallway rumble.

"Uh oh."

The celling started to get lower.

I gulped "We should run."

"~Puuun~" he mumbled fading away.

"Hey don't leave!" I yelled running for safety.

I zoomed forward just escaping the hall as the ceiling slammed down.

"Phew." I said rubbing my tail "That was close."

I looked up and was why the ceiling had lowered down on me. There was a woman with brown hair and clenched fists in the room. She was wearing a hard hat and also had jeans and a tank top on.

The woman pressed the pendant on her necklace "She got out of the trap."

Who's she talking to?

I heard the necklace start talking "Jubilee you are to eliminate the competition understand,"

"Yes Sir." The woman said.

"Who are you talking to?!" I heard someone yell on the other end of the call.

Was that Asuka?

The girl hung up and pointed her hand at me "Geomagnetic Lift!"

The stones under her uprooted and circled the woman "Repel!"

All the stones flew forward and pelted me.

"Ow…" I groaned standing up "If it's a fight you want it's a fight you'll get!"

I pulled a key off my keying "Open! Gate of the Sea Goat: Capricorn!"

*Ding!*

"How may I help you milady." Capricorn asked.

I pointed forward "She's giving me flak."

"I see." He dashed forward "Then allow me."

The goat backhanded the girl. She stumbled when he punched her again. She recovered and casted a spell.

"Geomagnetic Grip!"

The woman pulled her hand up and the stones under my spirit flew into the air and knocked him around.

"Capricorn!"

"Sorry…Miss…" My spirit got booted back to spirit world.

"Repel!"

The stones flew towards me now. I ducked and dodged out of the way, grabbing a key as I avoided her assault.

"Scorpio!"

"WOW!" he yelled dropping to the floor "Sand Buster!"

He shot a stream of sand at the woman. She held her hand up and the sand just curved around her.

"Huh?" Scorpio said.

"You think sand can stop stone?!" she yelled throwing it back at him "I'm the strongest earth mage since Wizard Saint Jura!"

"Sand Spear!" Scorpio shot away the attack that had been sent back at him "I don't think I'll be of much help. Imma split, say hi to your Mom for me."

"Don't leave me!" I yelled back "HNGH!"

I grabbed my chest.

I used too much magic…I don't have enough left to call someone out.

"I've got you this time fur ball!" the girl yelled.

The ground under me exploded and knocked me into the air. Stones swirled around before shooting forward and digging into my body.

"AHHHH!"

I dropped to the ground; I was in a lot of pain.

"HAHAHA!" the girl laughed as she gravitated a huge stone into the air.

The stone shot forward in the air. I closed my eyes knowing that I was gonna get squished.

*Swoosh!*

There was a wrapping noise. I looked up and saw the brick had gotten snagged in some vines.

"I'll stop after this – "one more time"

Someone was singing. I could hear the sound of footsteps on the stones.

"So sick of it, I'll cast it aside – "one more time"

"That voice." I said.

"But I'll just try this – "one more time"

The song stopped and so did the footsteps.

"Who are you?" Jubilee asked.

"Just a girl here helping out her big sister. Flytrap!"

The ground ripped open and a giant man eating plant came out and took and snapped its jaws at the treasure hunter.

The woman jumped back before smashing the plant with her magic.

"S…Serena…" I mumbled.

"You just get your strength back." She told me "I'll be plenty to handle this interruption, and then we can go find the others."

"Stone Shredder!"

All the bricks Jubilee had spun up and shot at Serena.

"Will that be all?" Serena asked.

A handful of vines sprung up and batted away the stone.

Serena swayed side to side to avoid the few that had slipped though.

"What are you?" Jubilee asked.

Serena's usual smile covered her face "Just a humble gardener."

"I…I'll crush you!" A mass of stone shot forward.

"Serena look out!" I yelled.

"Dandelion Drill!" A plant emerged from the floor and shattered the boulder.

Serena turned back "This is fun! Let's play again some time."

"I'm not playing with you girl!" the woman yelled.

"You right." Serena smiled "Play Time is over."

Serena snapped her fingers "SPORE BOMB: RINKA RENKA!"

The air rippled and the concussed, bouncing the treasure hunter around.

"AHHH!"

The woman fell from the air and dropped to the floor defeated.

"Wow…" I said "That was incredible."

"Oh it was nothing." Serena smiled "Being in the jungle helped, I barely had to lift a finger."

"I wasn't much good was I…?"

"You're magic is taxing on your body." Serena said "mine is not…plus we are in a jungle a place full of plant energy for me to recharge with."

"Yeah I guess you're right." I smiled.

"WAHHH HELP ME!"

"Huh?" Serena and I both looked over to see Cornelia running at us.

"Oh hey Sis." We both said.

"Run away!" she yelled.

"From what?" I asked.

"MUMMY!"

"What about Mommy?" Serena said.

"No Mum-me." Cornelia said.

"UHHH." I looked at the entrance Cornelia had run in and saw a monster wrapped in bandages trudging in.

"AHHH!"

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns.

The Song Serena was singing near the end was a few lines from "Blackjack" by Megurine Luka. I took the first three translated lines from the Vocaloid Wiki.

Next Time- Rex and Aqua attempt to deal with Tarik and Quinn but while one finds it easy, the other struggles.
