CHAPTER 4
(GENERAL P.O.V)
Chase stared in bewilderment as the golden ring that was engulfed in water, was being pulled into another direction. Chase slowly turned his attention to the long black haired boy with the featureless white eyes with a slight lavender tint.
"HEY!," Chase suddenly growled at the guy who was around his age. The guy simply glanced at him with a smug look on his face, while he held the ring. "I don't know what you're doing, but that ring is mine!," Chase hissed as the two black balls floated around him now.
"Oh really?,' the mysterious guy snickered, raising the golden ring in front of his face, as it was immediately engulfed in a water bubble that floated behind him.
"THEN COME AND GET IT…" The mysterious guy challenged, as he got into a fighting stance. Chase's facial expression twisted from mere irritation to anger.
CHASE HADN'T MOVED…
Instead Chase's iron balls raced towards the mysterious guy, one behind the other. 'Let's see how he handles this…' Chase thought to himself as he folded his arms. As the iron balls neared, The mysterious guy had stood completely still. Just as it seemed that they were going to hit him head on, the ground right in front of the mysterious guy burst open to reveal a powerful surge of water that rose past the mysterious guys face, as his hair rose from the strong gust of wind that was created from the impact of the speed of the water.
Spectators gasped in awe, while others moved away quickly realizing a fight was about to begin. As the water rose high in the air, Chase's iron balls bounced off the water as some sort of white lighting appeared, as Chase's iron balls doubled back at Chase. Chase activated another iron ball quickly, that was much larger than the first two. The larger ball immediately stood in front of Chase as it consumed the smaller two.
Without warning, the mysterious guy stamped his left foot into the ground which caused the ground to rumble around them, as a smaller surge of water appeared just like the first, as the mysterious boy kicked the water. Instead of his foot going through it, he kicked it as the water formed into a ball of its own, and headed towards Chase.
"DO SOMETHING DAD!," Ayla pleaded with her father. "It's alright Ayla," Gajeel told his daughter. "Your brother will be fine." Ayla didn't believe that. "Don't interfere," her father warned as she took a step forward, but halted at his words. 'Who was this guy?, and could my brother really handle him?. Ayla thought to herself worried. Ayla knew her brother never backs down from a challenge, and could easily turn the tables on his opponent.
However there were times when Chase underestimated his opponent, which landed him in hot water. This is what Ayla was afraid of. Chase braced himself for the guy's attack, as the water ball headed straight for him.
"STOP!," Cana screamed as she appeared unexpectedly arms outstretched attempting to protect Chase. Immediately the water ball burst into thousands of droplets, as Chase's iron balls disappeared. "What are you doing Aiden?," Cana frowned at him.
"Trying to win a fight that you rudely interrupted," Aiden answered. "What gives Cana?," Chase pouted as he marched up to her. "I really wanted to kick this guy's butt." "You guys I know this will come as a surprise," Cana smiled ruffling Aiden's hair as he rolled his eyes.
"This is my adopted son…."
"What?," Gajeel said dumbly as his eyes darted back and forth from Aiden to Cana. "Congratulations Cana this is certainly a surprise," Erza smiled. "What do you think you're doing?." Aiden asked rudely as Shinachiku stared at him up close. "Can you activate your Byakugan?,"Shinachiku questioned.
"My what?," Aiden raised his eyebrow at Shinachiku in confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about." "You're Erza Scarlet," Hanami said in awe. "I'm Hanami Uzumaki. Naruto and Sakura Uzumaki's daughter." Before Erza could respond, Chase appeared with his arm outstretched. "Chase Redfox I've heard a lot about you. You're really cute."
Chase stated boldly making Hanami blush and Shinachiku's jaw hit the ground. Before anyone could say anything, Erza's facial expression turned to alarm as she spotted a magic counsel guard. "Thomas what are you doing here?, is Magnolia in danger?." Thomas was a short guy dressed in green and white robes. "We had a delay in removing the criminals Tempus and Talina. They were suppose to be out of Magnolia days ago."
"I'll explain later," Cana to told Erza referring to the incident about Tempus and Talina. "Where are they holding them now,?" Cana inquired. "Not too far from here, the building next to the cathedral church. Don't worry those criminals will be out of Magnolia by sundown." "Seems like we missed out on the action," Gajeel told Gray who agreed. "Wait where's Shinachiku?," Cana suddenly asked.
