Alice: Oh, we're so gonna die! Anyways, Akira-chan doesn't own Fariytail. Wish me luck!
Calypso started to sing when we enter the small carriage that would take us to our destination.
"Umm… Cal-senpai?" I asked, "Shouldn't we make a plan to defeat the bandits?"
"We already have one! You, me and Alice drive a carriage up front and Nick and Aqua stay in the shadows. When the bandits make a move, we will all attack at once." She said happily.
Wow… That was a pretty good plan, considering how calm Cal was.
When we got out of the carriage, we stepped onto the soft ground and set up position.
I slowly climbed into the carriage. Alice, who was already up in the carriage, and I help the short little Calypso up.
"Giddy up!" Cal slapped the reigns gently onto the horses, and they started to move.
About a few minutes later, as expected, some bandits showed up.
"Just our luck! A whole bunch of girls!" One of the buff weirdos laughed.
Suddenly, in a flash, a large phoenix attacked four of the men.
"Come on! Let's go!" Alice shouted and her Archive magic appeared.
She nodded happily at whatever was on her screen and suddenly, she attacked with a powerful snow blast.
I quickly summoned my harp and played a sad song. The heavens started to shake and lightning blasted with enormous power.
"Cha! That's it! Go!" Cal shouted, sitting on top of the carriage and calmly munching on some chips.
"Are you going to help us?" Nick shouted, sending out Cerberus.
"I think you guys are good to go! You don't need my help!" She nodded happily.
She was right, we were holding them off pretty good. Until we heard a loud cry.
"Help!" Aqua screamed.
A large man lifted her up like a potato sack and headed to the edge of a cliff.
"Trap Magic! Earth Seal!" he shouted.
A cage started to form around Aqua and she tried to break free.
"No use, kiddo. You break out, and the cliff falls. Either way, YOU DIE." He laughed.
"Aqua!"
Should I use my power? Aqua thought.
But then, they would kick me out of the guild!
But you will survive.
"We have to help her!" Alice and Nick shouted.
"No. Stay where you are, I'll handle this." A cold and menacing voice called out.
Who said that?
My answer was given when I turned around. I couldn't believe it. Calypso stood now on the ground with a scary aura and stalked toward the bandits.
"Lookie here, girly. We're not scared of you!" One of the bandits said. All of them laughed.
"Earth Magic! Boulder Rush!" Cal screamed. Very sharp shards formed from the ground and flew to the bandits.
They easily dodged them. "That the best you can do, punk?"
Calypso gave the most eerie and insane smile ever.
"Earth Magic. Shard Crush." She whispered.
All the shards picked themselves up and crushed half of the bandits. Blood scattered and drenched the entire battlefield with the sickly red substance.
She didn't… kill them… did she?
I touched the ground and a gigantic axe appeared. I approached the little flies the called bandits and almost swung it into a row of twenty filthy flies.
"Nii-san! (1) Please stop this!" a voice rung into my head…. Aurora?
I turned around and saw Melody calling out my name. How is it that she is so like Aurora?
I calmed down and gave them a thumbs up. "I got it all under control!" I shouted happily. Luckily, I didn't go insane, again…
I didn't kill the rest of the people, but left them pretty injured.
Quickly, I was about to slice the earth that Aqua was trapped on with my Boulder Axe and levitate her to safety.
"Cal-san (2) watch ou-!" Alice and Melody called out, but were cut off as I was kicked into the hard bars on Aqua's cage.
"Look brat. Just because you beat some of the weaklings on my team doesn't mean you'll beat me." A towering man stood at 7 feet tall.
"Beat that little brat, Boss Orc! Yeah!" All of his little cronies cheered. I glared at them and they instantly shut up.
The boss got my attention back as he tipped Aqua's cage almost off the cliff. My heart skipped a beat.
"No!" I snarled and glared venomous daggers at the man.
He laughed. "How about we make a deal? If I win, this poor little girl goes bye-bye."
"And if I win?" I snarled.
"Our bandit group gives back everything we stole and the girl lives."
"Deal."
The second I agreed, I received a kick to the stomach at an incredible force.
"Earth Magic! Damage Scale!" I shouted.
A large clock-like object erupted from the ground and read 20%.
"Let's get started." I smirked. Suddenly, my eyes went large and things started to look a bit… f-fuzzy…
I looked at the damage scale, slowly; it was ticking to larger percents. 30%... 45%... For a moment, I lost concentration and when I shot up, the scale was at 75%
"Posion Blows, sweetie. There's no way are you going to survive this fight. At least all your friends will join you soon after! Even your damage scale says so, it's almost at 100." Orc snarled.
He kicked me into the floor again. I coughed out a large amount of blood.
I heard my teammates all gasp.
"Earth Magic… Boulder Rush!" I cried out, then, "Shard Crush!"
I smiled as the shards narrowly pierced his leg and he cried in pain.
"That's it, kiddo. Uncle Orc was going to give you an easy death. Now you're going to beg for mercy!"
"Trap Magic! Pierce Trap!" Orc smiled, "This one never misses. It traps you in a sword, that pierces right into your skin!"
A large sword pierced through my shoulder. Blood spewed out like a waterfall. Orc pushed the sword in harder and moved it around. I screamed in pain.
BEEP!
My damage scale went off and I smirked.
"Looks like you lose." Orc smiled.
"Oh, you think that the damage scale beeping is bad for me? Wrong! Time for you to receive judgment!" I shouted.
I pulled the sword out of my shoulder in one swipe and magic energy started to circle me. I ripped off my eye patch. All of my teammates gasped. Probably because my other eye was golden.
"Devil's Eye!" I disappeared and reappeared, midair, next to Orc's head. I swiftly kicked his head and he was sent tumbling.
"No… Way." Alice said. She was looking at her Archive Magic with awe.
"What?" Melody asked.
"Devil's Eye! Only one known person knows how to use it! Cal-san is traveling through dimensions, as fast, no, faster than light. That's how she's appearing at different locations!" Alice said in awe.
I kept on beating up Orc until he was cornered next to Aqua's cage. I levitated Aqua up and over to safety so the earth that Orc still had room to back up. His foot reached the end.
"W-Wait! You need me to return all the people's belongings!" Orc shouted out.
"This world doesn't need you. I can get one of your cronies to do it for me." I snarled, then I smiled, "Sayonara."
I stabbed him in the hand. Then, I flicked him off the cliff.
"You! Go return everyone's stuff. NOW!" I shouted at a random bandit.
"Yes Ma'am!" He saluted and quickly ran off.
I released Aqua from her cage.
Nick, Alice and Melody quickly ran up to me.
"Cal-senpai! You're limping!" Alice said worridly.
"Don't worry! I'm fine!" I smiled.
Then, I fainted.
"WHAT?" I screamed.
"Orc the Horc… His bounty is 5 million Jewel… He's an S-class criminal." Melody said.
"No! We don't have any remains of him!" I pouted.
"Alice… At least we finished the mission. Plus, let's go check up on Calypso-senpai." Aqua said.
"Okay." I sighed. All that good money, wasted.
"Calyspo-san!" Melody shouted as we entered the infirmary.
Quickly, she pulled out a lyre and started to play soothing music.
Cal smiled, "Thanks, Mel-chan."
"Guess what? That Orc the Horc guy's bounty was 5 million Jewel! An S-class criminal!" I said.
"Really?" Calypso's face lit up, "Grab the sword on the bedside table please."
"Sure thing." I handed it to her.
"This has my blood on it, but before I flicked him off the cliff, I stabbed him. His blood is on there, the Magic Council had high-tech enough objects to see identify the blood.
"Oh yeah!" Come on guys!" I shouted.
She was right.
A few days later, the Magic Council sent us 5 million Jewel.
"We had five people on our group that day. We could split it 1 million per person." I said.
"I think we should give it all to Cal-senpai. We didn't do anything to anything to earn it." Melody spoke up.
I gave her an offensive look; after all, being shown up by a girl was hurting my pride.
"Well I only stood back because I knew she could handle it herself." I said.
"Yeah right, you were wounded after battling too!" Alice said.
"Come on guys! Let's just go give it to Cal-senpai already!" Melody sighed.
"Fine." Alice and I huffed at the same time.
Aqua laughed while Melody stayed as emotionless as ever.
We entered the room to see Reyna and Aurora already occupying the infirmary room with Cal-san. Althea also was healing her.
"Cal-san!" Aqua rushed to her side.
"We got the 5 million Jewel. We want to give it to you." I grumbled.
"Yeah." Alice and Melody said.
"Thank you, but we should split it between us." Calypso said.
Before I could speak up, Melody answered, "No."
She smiled gratefully, "Thanks guys."
We said our goodbyes and left the room.
"WHAT? You guys fought an S-class criminal? On that baby quest?" I shouted.
"Calm down Reyna, He wasn't defeated by us. Calypso beat him good." Melody and Alice tried to calm me down. Instead, I got angrier.
"What? The little brat?" I huffed.
"Yup." Nick said.
This world is so cruel.
Okay. Now I need villains. Please send them in. I have a name for the guild, CrescentHeights. (It's a famous guild, not a dark guild but they work under someone evil… revealed later.) Yeah, not too confident on my name so if you have any ideas, then send them in, please! Sorry if the fight was gory or anything. If you want any changes to my writing, just say it. I must please my readers! And… Two updates in a row!
(1) I forgot to mention last chapter, but Nii-san means big brother or big sister. Since Midnight Moon is family, everyone can call each other Nii-san.
(2) –san and –senpai are added on to a name for respect. –chan is usually used on younger girls.
Alice: I hope you enjoyed our first quest. If you don't review then Calypso-san will never get better! Just kidding, review if you feel like it. But if you do review, Cal will revive faster!
Thanks!
