Sting was surprised by the man countering his attack with Dragon Slayer magic. Their attacks ended and they both stared at each a little wary and unsure. Sting was snapped out of it though when Rouge struck their opponent with his Shadow Dragon's Slash crying out the name of his attack as he did catching his opponent off guard and actually landing a strike.
Sting launched himself forward without a thought using his own White Dragon's Claw attack while Rouge administered another Shadow Dragon's Slash the two now attacking their opponent simultaneously. Just as their attacks were about to hit him the man's body wavered and their attacks went right through him as his body changed to water.
"Hah nothing can hurt me as long as I'm water." The man laughs reforming and launching his own attacking at them "Water Dragon's Slash!" The attack looked similar to Rouges own attack only made up of water that formed around his hand instead of shadows knocking the two back slightly. Their exceeds having stayed around the corner keeping out of the way and staying safe after the wave of water had washed them into the wall.
Sting growled in frustration taking a deep breath he raced towards them leaping over them and releasing his White Dragon's Holy Breath at him as he began to reform throwing him backwards among the others of his guild who hung further back laughing at the fight. Rouge not waiting for the man to land rushed forward shouting "Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash" as he turned himself into a shadow wrapping himself around his target and assaulted him with a barrage of shadows that he generated from his hands.
This not only hurt their actual opponent but many of the other mages around them. Sting let Rouge go at the Water Dragon Slayer as he launched his Holy Ray attack at all remaining mages careful to direct them away from his partner as many of the other mages were taken out by a bombardment of rays that struck them in a quick succession.
The fight was slowly being pushed further out into a more open area instead of the narrower hall that it had started in. Rogue was thrown back as their enemy unleashed his Water Dragon Wing Attack creating swirls of water around his arms that he unleashed to attack Rogue. Sting growled as Rogue was hurt by this attack turning his attention back to the man he snarled his mind once more becoming a red haze as anger and frustration filled him.
"White Drive." He whispers activating his White Drive state becoming enveloped in an aura of light. White scales appeared on his face and along his sides. "White Dragon's Claw!" A sphere of his holy light that he had gathered together in one of his hands shot straight at the Water Dragon Slayer He tried to shift into water but was stopped as the light tore right through his body before he could finish fully shifting.
The man hissed returning his normal form looking down at the stigma that had appeared on one side of his chest having torn through his cloak and clothes. "What but I was able to avoid it before?!" He exclaims in surprise. Sting growled baring his teeth. "It's all about timing and like this my spell is more powerful." He roared again launching his White Dragon's Holy Breath directly at him.
"Shadow Dragon's Roar!" From out of no where or seemingly so his partner's breath attack was fired at HIM not the enemy but him; hitting him, injuring him and throwing him back along side Rogue who still lay on the floor were he had been thrown after the Water Dragon Slayer's Wing Attack. "Sting!" Rogue cried out in confusion watching as his own breath attack that he had not fired struck his friend.
Sting groaned lifting himself up turning his attention to a new person a women dressed in a form fitting body suit with a cut out over her stomach and chest. The body suit appeared to be made up of scales and she had fins protruding over her hips and elbows and the back of her calves coming from the thigh high boots she wore and the long gloves as well as the body suit. She had blue green hair pulled back in a pony tail and sea green eyes that raged with hatred.
"Shadow Dragon's Slash!" She cried and attacked Sting again with one of Rouges moves injuring him further. "Sting!" Rogue yelled again scrambling to his feet. Growling he activated his own Shadow Drive before launching another of his attacks at her. "Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang!" The women laughed and used the same attack to strike him. Rogue grunted as his own attack was used against him but quickly over powered her thanks to his Shadow Drive.
She was knocked back by his attack as he stood there panting for a moment a dark aura of shadows surrounding him black scales appearing on his face and down the sides of his body much like Sting. "Who are you?" He demands as his best friend struggled to his feet behind him. Tourists and by standers by then had evacuated the area after the fight had been pushed into the center of the station.
He could still hear faint screams of fear though suggesting there were more members of the dark guild in other parts of the station. "Lector. Frosch go find those who are still stuck in the building and help the get out distract those who are after them and then find somewhere to hide yourselves."Sting orders their exceed companions as he got up standing beside Rogue panting.
Lector gave an affirmative and took off flying over their head with Frosch right behind him. The women chose to ignore the cats and laugh at them instead. "I am Amphitrite the consort of Poseidon the Water Dragon Slayer. I am a mimicry mage I can mimic your attacks and send them right back at you." Rogue growled at her remembering how she attacked Sting with his own breath attack.
Much like Sting had he was growing frustrated again and her having hurt Sting was just causing his anger to grow. He had enough worry and anxiety when it came to Sting knowing that in the future he could kill Sting and try and take over the world. Sting and swore not to let that happen and if Rogue fell into the darkness he would slay him.
He still had nightmares sometimes about killing Sting. He dreamed about losing Frosch and he dreamed about killing his best friend and stealing his power. Becoming the king of dragons and taking over the world killing everyone he cared about. Sting would sometimes wake him up from the nightmares and keep him company until he manages to fall into a light sleep. Other times he would wake himself up or Frosch would wake him up and he couldn't get back to sleep.
Often times he would get up and slip into Sting's room and watch him sleep which calmed him down enough for him to fall back asleep on Sting's floor. Sting never said anything about waking up to find him on the floor. To him Sting was his light that would draw him out of the darkness during his worst moments. Rogue took a deep shuddering breath focusing on his enemy growling. She had hurt Sting.
The Twin Dragons launched themselves once more at their opponent Sting using his White Dragon's Holy Breath and Rogue using his Shadow Dragon's Roar. Before their attacks could strike their opponent it was blocked by a sudden whirlpool of water that appeared and sucked their attacks into it. "Water Dragon's Shining Wave!" A sphere of churning dark water appeared in one hand and a similar sphere of shining clear blue water appeared in the hand which the newly risen Water Dragon Slayer combined together to created one monstrous tidal wave that narrowed in on Sting and slammed him through a pillar.
"Holy Ray!" Amphitrite shouted launching Sting's attack at Rouge hitting him with the beams of light rapidly injuring him further and sending him crashing to the floor skidding across the room. Rouge cried out in pain from the multitude of strikes against him and being sent flying across the room the pain of his shoulder and side connecting with the hard floor and the heat of the friction as he skidded further.
Poseidon and Amphitrite laughed cruelly at the sight of the Twin Dragons seeming to enjoy the sight of Rouge bleeding on the floor. Little did they know that they had a hostile dragon on their hands. Hearing Rouges pained cry had further infuriated the White Dragon Slayer engulfing his mind in a white hot rage. He rose to his feet his breath hot as he breathed out heavily his eyes dark and glaring as he stared at the ones who had hurt his friend.
Fist clenched he drew his right arm backwards as he extended his slightly bent left arm that had bits of light congregating around his spread finger tips. With a loud echoing cry "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Holy Nova!" he rushed towards his targets punching them with his right fist that was by then covered in a vast horizontal pillar of light that created a tremendous explosion as it made contact with his targets. Sting stood there panting heavily as the smoke from the explosion and remaining flash of light cleared revealing him unharmed from the attack.
He growled in frustration though as he saw that while his attack had in fact done damage to his targets they had escaped. He could see two forms of water and shadow disappearing out of the station. They got away not unharmed but they still got away. He was debating giving chase after them when he heard a groan coming from his partner as he sat up.
"Rogue!" Stings exclaimed in relief rushing over to his friends side kneeling beside him helping him to sit up straight. "You okay?" He asks worry and concern in his voice and eyes. "Yeah I'll be fine I've had worse." Rogue says with a grimace as he sat upright his head still spinning a bit. "Did we win?" He questions glancing around spotting the downed smaller mages from the dark guild but not the two who had caused them the most trouble.
"They got away." Sting growls aggravated by that fact. He still felt aggravated from their battle and from their enemy escaping. The room was a mess. One pillar was destroyed water was everywhere and there was debris everywhere. The smell that had over powered his senses earlier was no longer in the air but rather washed all over the floor from the water. The flowers that had been set out all over decorating the place were lying crushed on the floor their pollen swept across the floor from the waves of water.
"I'd say it was more of a tie then since you at least injured them pretty badly." Rouge says with a soft chuckle. Sting sighed in relief glad to see his friend was alright. Him being able to laugh was proof enough of that. He leaned forward touching foreheads together as he gave Rouge his signature grin. "Yeah it was, I'll get them again later and win this time just you wait."
Rouge smiled slightly at his friend meeting his gaze with his own as they touched foreheads. He could tell that Sting was still frustrated from their enemy getting away something he could sympathize with as he too was frustrated that they had failed to take out their target. It shouldn't have been that hard to do the request itself had seemed easy enough but they had underestimated the dark guild responsible.
Sting felt a little calmer now that he was touching Rouge but he knew that the frustration he felt was not going to go away so easily. Suddenly he remembered what Natsu had said, "A good fight helps you feel better if your frustrated but sex works even better trust me on this." Sting grinned widely as he got an idea. He felt calm so long as he was touching Rogue and the others had felt calm when they were with certain people important to them. Him and Rogue hadn't felt angry or frustrated with each other and didn't fight with one another as the other dragon slayers had.
Rouge gazed up at him confused by the sudden way Sting was acting and the look on his face. "I just got an idea come with me." Sting says grabbing Rouge by the hand and pulling him to his feet. People had started to gather once more now that the actual fighting was over. "What?Hey!" Rouge yells as Sting dragged him through the gather crowds of people.
"Sting!Rouge!"Lector yells spotting them as him and Frosch fly towards them only to stop in confusion as Sting continued on right past them heading down a hall that hadn't been touched during the fight. Bewildered the exceeds followed them as Sting dragged off a equally bewildered Rouge and drew them into a restroom the first unlocked and open door he spotted.
"Get the fuck out!Now!And close the door while your at it!" Sting snarls at the cleaning guy who was mopping the floors. The man took one glance at them and determined it was in his best interest to comply with Sting's demands leaving the room quickly and closing the door shutting out the exceeds while he was at it. "Sting whaa...?" Rouge didn't get to finish his sentence before he was tackled and slammed against a wall as Sting kissed him.
