Chapter Four: Players and Pieces...
On the Cliff, Glynda and Professor Ozpin peered blankly at the forest below. The adult Huntress, Glynda had her tablet in hand and began to shift between monitors of all of the students.
"Well, sir, it seems that the last pair has been formed. Lie Rem and Nora Valkerie. The poor child, I feel sorry for him. I can't really imagine the two of them getting along…" Glynda tapped her tablet and another set of students appeared on the screen. "Still, he's probably much better off than Ms. Nykos…"
Ozpin grunted slightly in acknowledgement and looked in her direction. Glynda continued. "I don't care what his transcripts say, I still think that Jaune fellow is not cut out for this level of combat. Not yet. But I suppose he will prove his worth soon enough…" Glynda tapped the screen again and it showed the Dragon Slayers.
"Sir, I must say, those other four boys and that young girl; Natsu, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel and Wendy, are great additions to the student body. Apparently those two individual who claim themselves to be 'The Dark Dragons' who are consist of both Gajeel and Rogue are already approaching the temple, Natsu and Sting are also behind them and are closing in on them. It won't take time for the two of them to meet up with those who are already at the temple. The others as well as that young girl aren't too far behind, they should reach the temple in a few minutes."
Glynda stepped away from the Cliffside and asked. "Speaking of which, sir, what DID you use for the relics this year?" Her face, although rather stoic, did have a hint of questioning as she turned around to look at the Headmaster.
"Professor?" Glynda addressed Ozpin, who had only continued to remain silent as usual.
Ozpin of course was studying his own tablet as of now, and it was showing visual of image of two certain young girls who seem to be lost. These girls mainly being Ruby and Weiss who were fortunate enough to escape the pack of ravenous hungry Beowulves before setting a small portion of the forest clad in pure emerald set ablaze.
-Emerald Forest-
Weiss paced back and forth. "…It's this way… No, wait. It's this way…No, Definitely this way."
Ruby was sitting down and picking blades of grass off the ground. "Why can't you admit you don't know have any idea where you're going?" She stood up and Weiss stopped in front of her.
"Because, I know EXACTLY where we're going… We're going to… the forest temple."
Ruby on the other hand simply folded her arms with a frustrated look all over her face and huffed annoyingly from Weiss rude ways.
"Oh stop it. You don't know where we are either!" Weiss barked back at the hooded girl with a frown.
"But at least I'm not pretending like I know everything!" Ruby retorted back, causing Weiss to cast an angry look at Ruby.
"What's THAT supposed to mean!?" Weiss question angrily, his hands on her hips and her foot tapping on the ground.
Ruby stomped her foot and huffed. "It means you're a big stupid jerk and I hate you!"
Weiss scoffed and turned away and started walking. "Just keep moving."
Ruby rolled her eyes, and spoke in a mocking tone. "Ehn, Just keep moving. Hurry up… Watch where you're going…" She put her hands on hips. "Why are you so bossy?"
"I'm not bossy! Don't say things like that!" Weiss countered and sashayed a few steps back toward Ruby.
Ruby grunted yelled. "Stop treating me like a kid!"
Weiss took a smug, yet irritated tone. "Then stop ACTING like a kid."
The girls got in each other's faces; Ruby spoke first. "Stop acting like you're perfect!"
Weiss spoke in response, rather menacingly. "I'm not perfect." She turned away and spoke again. "…Not yet, But I am leagues better than you are." She walked off with a slight sway in her hips.
Ruby looked down and sighed. "…You don't even know me…"
/...Meanwhile...\
Blake and Yang had just arrived at the Forest Relic site. Yang looked at Blake. "You think this is the place?"
Blake just looked at Yang and started down from the hill they were at. Yang followed almost immediately after her.
Blake took a closer looks at the 'Relics' and noticed that they were actually Chess pieces. She raised a brow. "Chess pieces?"
Yang wandered somewhere a little bit away and chose to take the gold knight, or as Yang had called it. "A cute little pony."
Blake chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. That'll work."
"Damn this place was a pain in the ass to find..." A familiar voice groaned annoyingly from behind the two girls.
Both Yang and Blake softly turned their gazes towards the source of the voice, realizing that it was the newcomers who had slowly made their way through the thick and dense green forest with annoyed looks on their faces until it was replaced with natural looks as they were releaved to find the location of where the relics themselves would be located.
"Aren't you the guys who were on that stage yesterday?" Blake asked curiously, to which each Dragon Slayers nodded in response.
"And aren't you the girl who was reading that book last night?" Natsu wondered, which Blake nodded as well. "Well, guess I might as well introduce myself again. People that I know back at home would sometimes call me Salamander, but my real names is Natsu, Natsu Dragneel. Nice to meet ya!" He addressed himself, adjusting his hands towards her for a simple handshake.
Even she couldn't the sudden feeling of having a slight tint of redness coating on her cheeks at just how bright his smile was, she was even more amazed that the two front teeth seem to oddly resembled that of sharp canines. One would assume that he was some kind of bat Faunus, and yet it didn't seem he held any sort of animal-like appearance on any parts of his body at all. Shrugging the conflict that was going in inside of her, she soon smiled softly and shook Natsu's hand that was unnaturally warm.
"Pleasure to meet you as well, Natsu. My name is Blake, Blake Belladonna." She greeted with a soft smile, tilting her head towards the side very gently.
"And of course you already know who I am, if not than I'd be glad to tell ya'll that my name is Sting Eucliffe." Sting greeted himself as well, catching the attention of a certain blonde girl.
"Hellloooooo!" Yang greeted herself as well, already approaching behind Blake with her usual carefree expression.
"Yo!" Natsu greeted the gesture back.
"So I heard that my little sisters been talking to you guys lately, glad to see that she's making some new friends other than Signal Academy." Yang said with a smile forming on her face with both of her arms resting under her breasts.
"Yup, that's right. People may assume her to be some kid, but in our perspective. She seems to be a capable fighter worthy on becoming a huntress." The White Dragon stated with an honest look.
"If you don't mind me interrupting, but did the two of you come across a young girl with blue hair that goes by the name of Wendy Marvell by any chance?" Rogue pardoned as he made his way through the two Dragon Slayers up front.
"I don't think so..." Blake answered, somewhat unsure.
"Sorry, no clue as to where she's at..." Yang stated, causing the Shadow Dragon Slayer to be a little worried. But even he wasn't the only one worried about her as well.
'Damn it...where are you Wendy?' Rogue thought in concern.
/...Meanwhile...\
A few minutes, not far away from the actual relic sight had both Pyrrha and jaune ventured onward through a dark cave without any source of light to guide them. And as things weren't getting stranger by the very minute, Pyrrha herself soon felt an unatural force of warmth blowing within the very cave itself.
"Do you…feel that?" Pyrrha asked the blonde male.
"Soul-crushing regret?" Jaune supplied in depression.
"No, it's…warm..." Pyrrha said slowly.
"We must be getting close then." Jaune stated, causing the others to stare at him in disbelief if they could see him.
A little while later, the two individuals had suddenly came across a glowing gold bulb floating that oddly seem to have been heading towards their way. Jaune already making assumptions that this could possibly be the relic that they've been searching four hours within the Emerald Forest.
"That's the relic!" Jaune exclaimed as he ran towards the bulb to grab it, only for the bulb to move away from him. "Hey! Bad relic!"
"Uhh, Jaune? I don't think that's the relic..." Pyrrha whispered to her partner.
"Gotcha!" Jaune yelled victoriously,
Pyrrha turned their attention back to Jaune, who managed grab on to the bulb. Unfortunately the bulb began moving again. The bulb stops moving again, and the young man begins to catch glimpse of multiple deathly red eyes and lines in front of them as a sudden snarl had slowly began to build itself up that suddenly caused both Huntsman and Huntress back to give out a sliver of fear. Seeing all the red glowing menacingly as well as the inhuman snarl, the woman only had one thing on her mind.
'Oh crap...'
Before Jaune could respond as well, the Scorpion let out a screech and burst from the cave and out into the forest. Jaune screeched and the noise was heard throughout of the forest.
/...Meanwhile...\
Yang had activated Ember Celica, and turned to find the source of the scream.
"Some girl is in trouble!" She exclaimed, and was preparing to dash off to help 'her'. However Rogue chuckled softly with Gajeel cackling none-stop with both brothers Natsu and Sting merely rubbed the back of their necks nervously, knowing that the 'girl' was actually Jaune, who had just run afoul of a Deathstalker.
"Uhhh Yang, I don't actually think that was a girl." Natsu corrected the Brawler with his hand scratching behind his head, laughing nervously.
Yang turned to the Fire Dragon Slayer, a quizzical look plastered on her face. "Hmm? It's not?" She asked.
Both brothers of the Twin Dragons and the Dark Dragons had only continued to nod their heads all at once. Now full well as to whom would be the individual to give out such a high-pitch scream.
"Well, who was it?" She asked, placing both of her hands while deactivating her Ember Celia
Rogue stepped forward with a sigh leaving his lips. "It was Jaune." Rogue stated, hearing a sudden muffle like snicker appearing from Gajeel.
Yang blinked blankly for a brief moment after hearing the name of the culprit for the odd screaming. And then, she burst into a laughing fit while clenching hold of her gut while staggering around the area around her. Tears streamed down her eyes, and she held her side, apparently busting a gut while leaning against he Iron Dragon Slayer who too had some trouble on keeping himself from laughing too hard as well. Rogue simply rolled his eyes at the sight before him and Yang.
/...Meanwhile...\
"PYRRHA! THIS IS NOT THE RELIC! IT'S NO-O-O-T!" The unfortunate Jaune cried in horror, continuing to dangle on the creatures glowing stinger as the massive scorpion had eventually broken out of its hiding den.
"Jaune! Whatever you do, don't let…"
Before Pyrrha could tell Jaune not to let go, the giant Grimm in the form of a demonic large scorpion slowly realed its tail back and had launched him in the towards the direction of the relic site. Jaune cried for help the entire time he was careening through the air.
"Go..."
The scorpion now had its eyes and gold tipped tail locked on her. She chuckled nervously before darting off in the same direction that the monster had threw Jaune.
/...Meanwhile...\
"B-blake! Did-did you just hear that?! That was Jaune screaming! What a-" She never got any further, as Blake suddenly wheeled around to face us, startling Natsu mostly, and causing Yang to recover from her guffawing. After her cackling had subsided, she pointed up to the sky. She looked up, as did Natsu, shielding his eyes from the harsh glare of the sky, he could see and hear someone approaching.
"HEADS UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPP!"
'Ruby?' Natsu wondered in his thoughts.
Without a doubt, it was indeed Ruby sailing towards the them, and from the looks of it, she was hurtling straight towards their position. In particular, towards Natsu. Eyes wide as dinner plates, she was flailing her arms as she tried to steer away from the hard surface of the temple floor.
"OH CRAP!" Shouted Natsu as he ducked his head, and kneeled down, trying to protect themselves from the inevitable impact.
It was a few seconds before they realised it never came. They cautiously opened their eyes, and saw that Ruby was gone. In a tree nearby, both brothers heard a dazed moaning, and rustling branches. Looking through the leaves, they saw Ruby lying on a branch, while Jaune hung upside down next to her, an embarrassed look evident on his face.
Ruby, who was just recently falling from the sky again heading towards the temple, found herself on a tree branch with a dazed look, stars and Beowolf pups floating around her head.
"Ohh…what was that?" Ruby asked in her dizzy state as she shook her head to rid herself of the dizziness.
The hooded girl looked up to see Jaune, who was the one that was sent flying into Ruby thanks to the Deathstalker, hanging upside down and looking at Ruby. "Hey Ruby…"
Blake looked at the tree where the two hung, a confused look on her face.
"Did your sister just fall from the sky, Yang?" She asked. Yang was about to speak, when an explosion distracted the three of us. Out of the trees stumbled an Ursa, clawing wildly, as if trying to dislodge an annoying insect from its body. Another explosion rang out, and the beast began to fall. As it tumbled, we heard a yell. But it wasn't a battle cry. Rather, it sounded like a kid having too much fun on a bucking bronco.
"YEEEEE-HAAAAAW!" A shriek was heard from behind the Ursa.
As the Ursa flopped onto the grass, it's rider rolled off, landing on her feet, and her look of joy turned to one of sadness as she looked at the dead beast. "Aw. It's broken."
Ah, yes. Nora Valkyrie. Hard hitter and constant smiler. Even though her love of battle bordered on the psychotic, Gajeel seem to have liked her. As she clambered back on the dead bear, a boy in a green tailcoat suddenly appeared beside the beast, clearly out of breath. Than came Wendy who was safely behind Ren. Causing the Dragon Slayers eyes to grow wide to see that one of their own was safe and sound.
"Nora! Please… never do that again." He panted. As he looked up, his magenta eyes grew wide, as he saw that Nora had disappeared. Looking around frantically, his eyes finally rested behind us. All four of the Dragon Slayers turned towards their backs, only to see Nora looking at one of the White Castles with curiosity. As she snatched it, she began singing a dainty little tune, whilst balancing the relic on her head. "I'm queen of the castle! I'm queen of the castle!"
"NORA!" Ren yelled, causing Nora to stop, and me to jump. She smiled, saluted, tilted her head and caught the relic in her free hand.
"Coming, Ren!" She giggled, then started to skip off to her partner. Blake watched her depart.
"Hi guys!" Wendy yelled happily, charging towards her elder brothers while waving her hands towards them.
"There you are!" Natsu yelled out, being the first to sprint his way towards her with a playful grin and a laugh.
Wendy had eventually made her way back into the ranks of the Dragon Slayers yet again, already giving the Shadow Dragon Slayer a quick hug that eventually eased his worriness.
"Sorry if I scared you Rogue." Wendy apologized, she new full well that the Shadow Dragon Slayer was almost like a protective older brother for her.
"What are you apologizing for..." Rogue interrupted, slowly swiping her off of the ground and placed her above his head where her petite thighs rested on his shoulder and allowing her hands to rest on his ebony hair. "I'm just glad your safe."
"We all are, after all we are a family." Natsu commented, with his grin growing slightly larger than before.
"Yup, another reason why families should always stick together." Sting agreed by resting his elbow on Natsu's shoulder after the two brothers fist bumbed.
"Geehee, and just what kind of family would we be if we left our little sister behind?" Gajeel wondered, seeing as Wendy was blushing softly at the very mentioning of her being the little sister among the Dragon Slayers, but eventually smiled warmly.
Not far from their position, both Yang and Blake couldn't help but admired just how well these newcomers treated one another. Seeing that they truly did considered one another as a family...Blake than shrugged the thought out of her made and turned her attenion towards the other matter.
"Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa?" She wondered aloud.
Yang went to answer, but never got a word out before a red-haired girl sprinted out of the trees, which were quickly uprooted by a giant scorpion pursuing her. It slashed at her, snapping its mandibles together, but she leaped forwards, the claw barely nicking her skirt.
"Jaune!" She yelled.
"Pyrrha!" He cried.
"Whoa!" Ruby exclaimed, as she jumped out of the tree, leaving Jaune literally high and dry.
"Ruby!" He yelled. Ruby landed beside me and Yang.
"Ruby?" Yang asked. Ruby looked to her, and a smile encompassed her face.
"Yang!" She yelled, moving to hug her. After a few moments, I decided to get everyone's attention to the approaching danger.
"Yang? Ruby?" Natsu and Sting began, but before they could get any further, Nora popped up beside both of them.
"NORA!" She yelled, causing me to fall on my butt in surprise. As I jumped up, I saw Pyrrha still running from the scorpion.
"Did she just run all the way here with a Deathstalker on her tail?" She asked. As Natsu was about to comment on her ability to narrate the obvious events unfolding before our eyes, Yang literally exploded in a ball of fire.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! COULD EVERYONE JUST CHILL OUT FOR TWO SECONDS BEFORE SOMETHING CRAZY HAPPENS AGAIN?!" She bellowed in annoyance.
Gajeel however was unfazed from the sudden outburst from Yang, seeing a bit of a resemblance with a certain pyromaniac. "Heheh, she kinda reminds me of Salamander when he's pissed off." Gajeel snickered.
The Fire Dragon Slayers eyebrow twitched angrily at the Iron Dragon Slayers comparision, causing him to roar in Gajeel's face. "OH SHUT THE HELL UP YA SCRAP IRON BASTARD!" Natsu barked back with a comical angry snarl.
Ren only than finally run up to Nora, as she did a little dance. Apparently, she was incapable of standing still for a millisecond, though given her limitless energy; it wasn't hard to see why. Yang panted as the flames surrounding her died down, while Ruby tapped her on the arm.
"Um, Yang?" She pointed to the sky. Yang didn't even bother to look, she just slumped forwards in frustration. Sting cautiously walked up to her, and patted her on the back.
"Look on the bright side. Everyone chilled out for two seconds exactly." Sting joked. Yang eventually shot the White Dragon Slayer a murderous leer.
Sting had eventually hid behind his brother at the sight before her, even Natsu himself couldn't help but back up a little in slight uneasiness. "Holy shit man, this chick is like a golden haired version of Erza back at hime." Natsu muttered nervously.
"Yeah, no joke..." Sting said quietly, cringing at her very slightly.
"Don't even start on comparing me to whoever the hell this Erza is, because she's the least of your worries." She growled, slowly cracking her knuckles with a vicious grin growning on her face.
Both the brothers tilted their attention away from the blonde female with visible sweats streaming down on their forheads, whistling innocently while gazing up in the blue sky with barely not that much clouds in the air itself. Only then did they spot a gigantic bird in the sky. It resembled much like a condor, but it was larger. Far, far larger. Than something else caught the White Dragons attention. On one of the bird's talons, there was a white speck. Craning his neck, he than caught a good glance of what he saw...
"Hey Sting...is that who I think it is...?" Natsu wondered, continuing to gaze at the massive condor like beast.
'Weiss?' Sting thought for a brief moment.
"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?!" She screamed down to Ruby. The hooded girl simply shrugged.
"Holy crap, that is one big bird!" Sting exclaimed while pointing to the Grimm.
"Do ya think a Grimm that looks like chicken would taste like a real chicken?" Natsu said with a hungry look.
"I don't really think Grimm meat are even edible man." Sting muttered, his brother now hanging his head down.
"But more importantly, why is it that Ice-Princess up there is still hanging around with Birdzilla?" The Iron Dragon Slayer asked with a confused expression while scratching the back of his head.
"One would assume that she's probably enjoying the view up there." Rogue quietly joked, arms already crossing while gazing up at the Nevermore.
"Should we help her?" Wendy asked with a soft frown of concern.
"Well I did tell her to, jump!" The hooded girl protested.
"She's gonna fall." Blake muttered calmly with her arms crossed.
"She'll be fine." Ruby assured.
"She's falling." Ren said, continuing to watch the falling Weiss.
"Definately falling..." All four Dragon Slayers muttered.
"Oh dear..." Wendy quietly whispered with her hands on her mouth.
The unfortunate Weiss fell from the air with her eyes shut completely in horror, until a certain Juane had eventually unhooked himself from one of the braches that held onto his outfit. Catching the sight of Weiss falling from the sky as he eventually formed a determined smile and leapt his way towards the Ice-Princess of whipping her into a bridal-carrying style.
"Just dropping in?" He asked flirtatiously. Weiss said nothing, only looked down.
However, it eventually catch his notice that the two of them were still in the midst of the sky. Thus causing them to hug one another in horror that the falling was still processing for not only Weiss but Jaune as well. Moments after, the blond male was the very first to fall face-first into the soil dirt as he tried to lift himself off of the ground. However, another mass had eventually slammed onto his back that eventually revealed herself to be none other than Weiss who seem to be polishing her nails.
"My hero." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm as nonchalantly checked her nails.
"My back!" Jaune croaked, raising an arm up in pain while Pyrrha was running for her life from the massive Deathstalker.
"I told you we would be fine Weiss!" Ruby said.
Just in time to see Pyrrha making her way towards the others, completely exhausted from having to run everywhere just to avoid being eaten or impaled by the Scorpion Grimm.
Yang spoke up sarcastically. "Great! The gang's all here! Now we can die together!"
"Not if I can help it!" Ruby smiled cockily, and charged headlong at the giant scorpion, screaming a war cry and unfolding Crescent Rose. Yang reached for her futilely.
"Ruby, wait!" She yelled after her. As Ruby was about to strike, the Deathstalker swung its pincer, sending her flying back, and knocking her flat on the ground. Ruby got up and turned to the group still at the temple.
"D-do-don't worry! Totally fine!" She yelled out.
However, the moment she turned her attention towards the stomping sounds and clickering noise has she finally realized that the Deathstalker was already beginning to chase the young girl across the field, Yang began sprinting to her little sister, Ember Celica at the ready, and a scared look on her face.
"Ruby!" She yelled. Hearing an unmistakeable cawing, the Nevermore was swooping overhead, as if preparing to attack. It flapped its wings, and a tempest of feathers, identical to the one Yang had found by the tree earlier, erupted from its wings, slamming into the ground like daggers. Trying desperately to avoid the storm of blades, one being fortunate enough to miss Ruby yet the second had eventually made a direct hit on Ruby's cloak to the terrain, trapping her and making her an easy target for the approaching Death Stalker. Ruby than looked back towards her older sister, Yang. She had slowed down she could avoid being struck by the feathers, and had been forced to watch as Ruby struggled with her cloak.
"Ruby, get outta there!" Yang yelled. Ruby continued to struggle with her cloak.
"I'm trying!" She yelled back. At this point, the Deathstalker was right on top of her, ready to make the killing blow.
"RUBY!" Yang yelled out in horror.
*SHWING*
A streak of pure emerald and shrouded dark-amethyst suddenly flashed past the sprinting elder sister that seem to have glowed violently for anyone to ever get a good view of what they were, than thrusted a hand that was shockingly grasping hold of the massive stinger without any sort of effort at all while another held a blade that was completely shrouded with pure shadowy forces. The blade digging rather deeply into the thick Exo-skeletal left pincer that was somewhat close on pinching Ruby in half.
It than caught Ruby's attention that the first individual standing in front of her, was none other than Gajeel Redfox. The man that she was somewhat afraid of was now taking a stand for her with one arm stretching out towards the stinger and continued to grip hold of it with no problem in the slightests situation with his younger brother, Rogue Cheney impaling his Shadow Steel very firm into the Deathstalkers large pincer.
The Iron Dragon Slayer eyed the massive Scorpion, until finally shouting out. "Two giant monsters against one little girl huh, that doesn't seem fair. So how about you pick on someone your own size and just PISS OFF!" Gajeel roared, tossing the tail away.
"Abominations like yourselves, do not deserve to thrive in this world if you show no remorse for the lives which YOU'VE DESTROYED!" The Shadow Dragon Slayer roared with crimson flashes flaring from both of his eyes, slashing the bottom pincer in half and slashing the arm away that caused the massive Scorpion to recoil in slight pain as blackish blood slowly began to ooze from the sustained wounds that it was given. Together at once, both brothers of the Dark Dragons lunged towards the Grimm and slammed their fists directly at the creatures centered head that eventually sent the arachnid flying several feet away that gave Weiss the opportunity to cast a set of Ice dust as she aimed it directly towards its tail until the creature was immobile from ever moving again. Appearing right besides the Dragon Slayers with Ruby sitting behind them.
The Nevermore flew above them, eyes blazing in wrathful hate as it slowly brought its body back very slowly. Prepared to unleash more torrents of quill like daggers, however even those didn't prove that much of a much for the other Dragon Slayers, Natsu, Sting and Wendy as they kicked and punched their way through the dagger like quills til none were no longer on sight while the flying beast recoiled back from getting caught by the Dragon Slayers as Natsu with Sting and Wendy slowly made their way towards Gajeel and Rogue.
"You are so childish!" Weiss muttered annoyingly as she turned her attention towards Ruby.
"Weiss…?" Ruby muttered, completely surprised from the sudden approach of the heiress.
"Dim-witted, and hyperactive, and don't even get me started on your fighting styles. And I suppose I've been a bit…" She paused, as if searching for the correct word.
"…Difficult…to you. But if we're going to do this… we're going to do this together." She lectured as Ruby got to her knees, the heiress lifting her rapier as she pointed at Ruby.
"So if you quit trying to show off…I'll be… nicer." She finished, an inflection in her voice hinting that she did NOT want to do this. Ruby stepped forward.
"I'm not trying to show off. I want you to know I can do this." She retorted. Weiss just gave a little huff.
"You're fine." She stated, walking back to the temple. Ruby looked at me.
Ruby had eventually began looking at the massive iceberg that Weiss had conjured, the Deathstalker's tail was frozen straight through, immobilizing it from at least a distance away from their position. It struggled to free itself, giving little growls as if exerting effort in pulling its tail. As Ruby turned back to the temple, Yang ran up, arms outstretched as the elder sister pull Ruby into her arms.
"I'm so happy you're okay!" Yang breathed a sigh of relief as she checked Ruby for any injuries. The Dragon Slayers looked at the sisters, and gave small smiles at the sibling affection. Yang had eventually turned her attention towards the five Dragon Slayers who were viewing the sight, seeing as she was closing on on all four males.
"I uh...I just wanted to say thanks...for...for saving my little sister, even if it meant risking your lives for her sake." She stammered.
Rogue and Wendy gave Yang little smiles of their own while Natsu, Gajeel and Sting grinned at her.
"Well Ruby is our friend, so its pretty obvious that we'll risk our lives to keep her from harms way." Sting stated. Yang smiled. Then she gave all four males a hard punch on their shoulder. The male Dragon Slayers shrugged them off like they were nothing, but later than realzied that she was leaning in close to them.
"Here, let me give this to all four of you as a token of my appreciation for saving my little sister." Without warning, she gave all four males a quick kiss on their cheeks as the Dragon Slayers eyes grew wide in shock. As she leaned away, they looked at her in confusion with faces turning bright red. However Gajeel himself seem to be the one taking it all due to some steam blowing out from both ears.
"Oh man...if Lucy were here, she'd probably kill me right now..." The White Dragon cringed fearfully, a vivid image of an enrage blonde Celestial Mage now towering over him with flames surrounding the both of them.
"Feelings mutual..." Rogue muttered in defeat as well as he too was thinking of the same idea with the exception of it being Yukino.
She giggled softly at the reactions on the Dragon Slayers faces and then eventually ran back to the temple with Natsu and the others behind her, to find Jaune, Weiss, and Ruby had regrouped with Blake, Ren, a dancing Nora, and a smiling Pyrrha. Jaune was looking up at the sky, glancing at the Nevermore, which still glided majestically above us.
"Guys? That thing's circling back! What are we gonna do?" He pointed to the sky. Weiss strode up, a confident look on her face.
"Look, there's no sense in wasting any more time. Our objective is right in front of us."
"She's right. Our mission is to grab an artefact, and make it back to the cliffs." Ruby continued, nodding towards Weiss. Looking back at the struggling Deathstalker, she sighed.
"There's no point in fighting these things." She stated. Jaune smiled happily.
"Run and live. Now that is an idea I can get behind!" He grinned. Along with Ruby, he went to pick up a relic. Ruby picked a white horse, Jaune picked a white castle. They glanced at each other, and smiled at their respective choices. Blake tapped Natsu's on the shoulder, drawing my attention.
"Uh Natsu, aren't you and the others gonna pick out a relic?" She asked. The Dragon Slayers suddenly remembered: they had had trouble picking out one, but now… They knew which one that they should pick. Natsu stepped forward to the pedestal in the centre of the temple, and gripped the Golden King resting in the alcove.
"Golden King hun, guess it suits you guys rather well." Pyrrha praise, already making her way.
"It sure does." Natsu grinned softly.
"Time we left." Ren said with Ruby nodding in acknowledgement.
"Right. Let's go!" She commanded. Waving us over, the group began to run. Natsu was prepared to run, when he noticed Yang hadn't joined us. He turned back, and sprinted back to her. Blake had also stopped beside her.
"What is it?" Blake asked her. Yang looked proudly at Ruby, who had jumped on a boulder, and waved to her allies. Yang just shrugged.
"Nothing." She said. Blake gave Natsu a knowing look, and he smiled. Then she flashed me a thumbs up and took off. Natsu glanced back at the Deathstalker, which had begun chipping away at the ice with its pincers. He and the others knew it wouldn't be long before it broke free, so he turned, and hotfooted it, following Blake with the rest of the Dragon Slayers behind him making their way towards the cliffs.
"That pretty much sums it all up guys, basically everyone here is all fired up." Natsu grinned viciously, earning the nods of all four Dragon Slayers as they continued to follow the group while avoiding the oncoming dangers approaching them from behind...
