Hullo there. Ricky here. :3 Hahaha! I'm taking my time here in this fanfic, while my other FFs are on standby. Tsk, tsk, that just won't do. I promise to update soon, and anyway, here's chappie 4!
OCs: Len, Rudy Tuono
Disclaimer: Ricky doesn't own Romeo and Fairy Tail!
Enjoy and R&R!
"You have to join, Len," Rudy persisted, her hands outstretched as if regarding the entire guild. "I mean, Romeo and I are the only kids around here! Well, Asuka-chan is a kid, too, but she's way younger than us and she can't go on jobs with us. And there's also Shawn, but he's way too anti-social and spends most of the time in the amusement center in the basement."
"Rudy, you're forgetting a certain blue head." Romeo reminded the brown haired, which earned him a menacing death glare.
"Don't mention that cat freak in front of me, Romeo!" the girl growled, leaning towards the fire mage with a death glare as the said dark haired motioned his hands in front of him to try to tell the short-fused girl to calm down. "He may be a kid, but he's as sly, cunning, and precocious as a feline!"
Rudy continued stating profanities about that certain blue haired at the poor fire mage, while Len quietly watched them as he stayed seated on his seat. The trio were hanging around on one of the empty long benches, the other tables surrounding them filled with drinkers and bickering mages. It wasn't really a suitable environment for children, but they managed to ignore the adults and converse normally with each other.
"A fish-obsessed freak! And... and... and..." the brown haired continued, but then finally ran out of ideas. Romeo took this opportunity to try and calm down Rudy, who was already panting lightly from stating all of those vulgar words. Len just watched them with an appalled look, deciding to interfere when everything was calm once again.
"So," the black bird cleared his throat, catching the two children's attention. "Who's this blue haired kid you two were talking about?"
" #$%*&!" Rudy suddenly blared, startling the two boys out of their wits. The brown haired started raving once again after the amnesiac mentioned the blue head, panicking the two lads as they tried to calm her down again. After a few minutes of more profanities, Rudy eventually calmed down again, but it was clear that she was in a bad mood then. The two lads just looked at her with nervous looks, while the said brown haired had a scowl on her face.
"Number one rule when around with Rudy," Romeo whispered to the black bird. "Never ever mention Blue in her presence."
"Blue? Who's that?" Len whispered back, aware of the menacing look from the brown head, who was growling.
"You'll know soon enough when he comes back from his job with his brother."
The black bird decided to leave it at that, not taking anymore risks of Rudy hearing on them talking about the hated blue head. He sighed, and then placed his hands on the table. He was still only wearing his brown trousers, with his upper body covered with plasters. Even though his body was covered with those, he still felt uncomfortable, since he was like walking around the room shirtless. He suddenly noticed the black markings on the back of his hands, making him stare at them. His magic, Demon Summoning, felt really ominous to him. It was as if he thought he was supposed to be evil.
He shrugged at the thought, and then suddenly got curious about the other two's magic. He decided to ask them.
"Hey, um, Rudy, Romeo," the raven haired called out to the two, with the brown haired already eating grotesque amounts of food. The amnesiac paused for a moment from the sight, wondering when the brown head managed to bring the food here at such a short notice, until Rudy looked up from her meal. "I, uh, was wondering... You guys are mages, right? Then, what're your magics?"
The dark haired and brown haired stared at each other for a moment, and then suddenly grinned simultaneously, confusing the demon summoner. Rudy wiped the crumbs on her face with her arm, stood up, and then grinned at the black bird. Len was having a bad feeling about her grin, along with the fire mage's smile. The said dark haired suddenly stood up from his seat, while Rudy grabbed a hold of the raven's hand.
"Come on, Len!" the brown haired exclaimed, pulling the said boy up from his seat. She started running towards the guild doors with Len being dragged by her and Romeo tailing from behind, leaving her meal of large quantities. "The best way to know someone's magic is through sparring!"
"S-Sparring?" the amnesiac repeated, keeping up from Rudy's running pace. "As in, fighting with each other?"
"Yep!" Rudy and Romeo chorused, panicking the raven haired. Sure, he was a mage; he felt that he was one because he knew he had magic. But it scared him that he might not be able to fight back, since he thought that he wouldn't know how to use his magic.
The trio then arrived at the area in between the guild doors and the guild gates, which was a fair enough large space for sparring. The souvenir shop at the side was supposed to be manned by Max, but it seemed that he was having fun inside, probably with his best friend Warren, since it was empty. Rudy grinned as she stood in the middle of the area, in front of the amnesiac, who was looking all nervous with Romeo smiling by his side.
"We'll do a one-versus-one-versus-one!" the brown head announced, her hands by her hips. "That way, you'll easily know Romeo's and my magic at the same time! And we'll know your magic, too."
Len fidgeted, not responding to the monster eater's statement, making Rudy pop a vein. "Answer me, damnit! I hate it when people ignore me!"
"Y-Yes, ma'am!" the black bird quickly blurted out, straightening his pose. Romeo just snickered at this, making the said raven turn to him with a dirty look.
"Second rule when around Rudy," the fire mage whispered to Len, keeping his voice as low as possible, though he already knew that the brown head would hear him anyway. "Never ignore her when she's talking to you."
"I can see that." raven haired whispered back, glaring slightly at Romeo.
The fire mage just grinned slightly in response, the talked about brown haired grumbling as she heard them with her sensitive hearing. The three then positioned themselves across the area, so that they formed a triangle. Rudy was already cracking her knuckles with an excited grin on her face, while Romeo was doing some stretching with the same grin. Len just stood there with a panicked and nervous look on his face, his hands shaking as he held them up to draw the two child mages' attention.
"A-Ah, um, Rudy? Romeo?" he called out to the two. They responded with a hum as they turned to the black bird. "I-I'm not sure if this'll work out. I mean, I might not know how to fight or use magic."
The two stared at him and then at each other, disbelieving looks on their faces. They turned back to the raven haired, and the expression on their faces still remained. Len started getting more nervous, his feet fidgeting on the ground as they continued to stare at him.
"I don't believe you." the two exclaimed in unison. The raven haired subconsciously stepped back from their response.
"B-But..." he suddenly stuttered, but was cut off by Rudy.
"Look here, Len," the brown haired told the raven, on which the black bird obeyed. "You may have lost your memory, but your body can't forget how to fight. Just look at your body! It's packed with muscles, even though you're still a kid. It's obvious that you were trained hard-core before you came here; your physique's like, stronger-looking than Romeo's!"
"Hey!" the fire mage reacted.
"Anyway, if you were trained with your magic too, then you'll be able to use it instinctively during the fight."
Len fidgeted for a moment as he looked down at his feet, before replying, "A-Alright then."
"Yosh! Let's get this started!" Rudy voiced out, her hands placed on the ground, so that she was on fours. She positioned herself as if she was ready to pounce, and Len noticed that her features were beginning to turn a lot more... wolfish. "I won't go easy on you, Len, even though you're injured! And don't go easy on me, too, just because I'm a girl; I'll beat you two to a pulp!"
"I'm getting all fired up!" Romeo exclaimed, pounding his fist on his palm. Flame flickered at the impact of his hands, and the black bird noticed this, too. The dark haired also positioned himself as if he was about to pounce, but only on his two feet. "No hard feelings after the fight, alright?"
"Don't go crying to your pops when you lose, Romeo!"
"What the... You don't go crying to your father when you lose, Rudy!"
"The hell did you just say?"
The two were already glaring at each other as the raven haired watched them nervously, imagining as if there were flames blazing in their backgrounds. He shakily switched to his supposed fighting stance, his feet apart, his body facing the side, and his fists held up in front of his chest and face. He was still scared he might not be able to fight, but eventually trusted the brown haired about his instinct.
"Ready!" the said brown head suddenly exclaimed.
"Set!" the fire mage quickly added.
Startled, Len panicked for a split-second as the two glanced at him for the signal, until he managed a, "G-Go!"
Almost simultaneously, the two child mages immediately pounced towards the middle of their triangle formation after the signal, with the black bird too startled to have pounced with them. Rudy and Romeo clashed, and with Len left out for the moment, he watched the two 'spar'. The brown head suddenly had large furry paw-like arms, which she used to block the fire mage's fire-enveloped punch. Romeo continued his attack by covering his foot with his flames and kick Rudy's jaw up, but was blocked by the brown haired's other free paw-like hand. Rudy, after noticing that the amnesiac wasn't with them, grabbed Romeo's foot, and proceeded to throw him towards Len's direction.
"Catch him, Len!" the monster eater guffawed.
The raven panicked, while the fire mage's body continued to propel towards him. As Romeo got close enough, he suddenly regained his balance and covered his feet with purple flames, taking advantage of the force to kick the black bird in his flight. The said raven boy instinctively ducked, and then, before the fire mage could go past through him, he caught his hands, and quickly used the force to twirl Romeo's body around, and then threw him back to Rudy's direction. The wolf girl was startled at first by Len's actions, but then grinned and dodged Romeo's propelling body by jumping up and landing a few feet forward. Her feet also transformed into large furry paws.
"Nice one, black bird!" Rudy gave a thumbs up with her large furry hand, with the amnesiac shockingly staring at his hands like he couldn't believe he just threw the fire mage's body in the air like that. Suddenly realizing that the brown haired just talked to her, he immediately replied with a, "Th-Thanks!", afraid of making the monster eater angry by ignoring her.
"The hell, you guys! Don't throw my body around like a rag doll!" Romeo suddenly bellowed, his feet crouched down with one arm on the ground. It seemed he managed to regain his balance after Len threw him, and skidded on the ground instead of crashing. He then stood up as he brushed off the dust on his clothes, glaring slightly at the other two. "It's payback time!"
"Len, look! This'll be around the time when Romeo will cry his eyeballs out!" Rudy suddenly teased, her furry index finger pointing at the dark haired. The said fire mage just popped a vein at the statement. "Watch for a moment!"
"Rudy! Shut up!" Romeo barked, leaping towards the wolf girl with his hand enveloped with blue flames. He launched his attack on the monster eater's face, but the said brown head dodged it by jumping up, and then kicked the fire mage's chest with both of her feet. The dark haired luckily blocked it in time with his hands, crossing his arms in front of him so that Rudy's kick landed on his forearms.
The force made them separate, with Romeo staggering backwards and Rudy doing a backflip, and she then darted towards the idle amnesiac. The raven panicked as he saw the wolf girl come after him, an evil smile on her face. The fire mage recovered from the brown head's attack, and then darted towards Len's direction too, a slight grin on his face.
"Come on, Len! Use your magic!" Rudy exclaimed. She was already preparing a punch while Romeo had both of his hands covered with red flames.
Oh, shoot! I'm doomed!, the black bird thought, holding his hands up to try and protect himself. I... I've got to use my magic! Come on! Demon Summoning!
Suddenly, as if reflex, his right hand shot forward, while Rudy was still a few feet away, and familiar words were starting to form in his mouth. "I release thee, living entity of wrath! Come forth, Behemoth!"
The raven haired closed his eyes as seemingly dark light suddenly emitted from his hand, while suddenly feeling a part of himself disappearing. He could hear Romeo's voice shout, "What the hell! Rudy!" from a distance, along with a crash from the side. Len shot his eyes open to see Rudy sprawled on the ground to the side, but then his eyes quickly averted towards the large beast in front of him.
"I have come to serve you, Master." the large dragon-like beast spoke to the amnesiac. The black bird's mouth gaped at the sight of the beast, subconsciously taking a few steps back. The winged dragon was about ten feet tall on fours, and maybe around twenty feet long from head to tail. It had red scaly skin, and as it glanced at the raven, he noticed it had red sharp slanted eyes. Two sharp black horns were embedded on its head, and jagged rock-like horns were situated from its neck and all the way to its back and tail. Its enormous leathery wings were folded up on its back, and it had deathly sharp claws.
Len couldn't help but stare at the beast with wide eyes, its red eyes staring back at him. He suddenly saw at the corner of his eye Romeo help out Rudy, who was already recovering from her fall. The two stared at the dragon with the same shocked and wide eyes. The dragon was silent for a moment, but looked like it was about to say something, when the guild doors suddenly opened. All heads turned towards the interrupter.
"Hey, what's all the ruckus abou-Holy crap! What the hell is that?" Romeo's dad emerged from the doors, and then noticed the demon in front of the doors. He immediately had a terrified look on his face, until he saw his son by the sidelines with the wolf girl, who was already back to her normal form. "R-Romeo! Are you alright? How about Rudy?"
"I-I'm fine, dad! Rudy, too! But..." the fire mage replied, glancing at the large beast who was already growling loudly at Macao. "Dad, watch out!"
The dragon was about to pounce on Macao and the said purple flare mage was about to attack the demon with his Purple Flare magic, but then Len stomped his foot and held his right hand in front of the large beast. His gray eyes were narrowed at the demon, the said dragon flinching as he saw his Master's rage.
"You do not attack without my consent." the black bird stated, making the beast settle down. Wait, what the hell am I doing? I was supposed to be scared of this monster, wasn't I? Why am I suddenly ordering it around? And why is it following me even?
Seeing as it wasn't needed anymore, the beast sighed, and fidgeted for moment, before saying, "I shall return back to your body, Master, for I am least needed here."
And with that, the winged dragon's silhouette glowed with black light, and it dispersed into a red aura-like form that flowed towards Len's right hand. The said raven stepped back from shock, but noticed that the red aura was being sucked in his right middle finger, where the dragon-like head marking was etched. As soon as the dragon disappeared, everyone was deathly silent. The amnesiac hesitantly glanced at Rudy and Romeo, who were still seated on the ground to the side. He turned to the father mage behind him, who was still on his fighting stance, except that he had a shocked expression on his face.
Len was about to say sorry to the Fairy Tail mages, when the brown head suddenly tackled him to the ground, interrupting him. "That was awesome, Len!"
The black bird winced at the impact, with his body still sore and all, as the two collided on the ground. Romeo ran after them, while his father came with him towards the two. Len groaned as Rudy sat on his abdomen, a triumphant grin on her face. The raven noticed a large bruise inflicted on her right upper arm, where he figured the beast swept her to the side before, but the said brown head paid no attention to it.
"Hahah! Gotcha! I win!" the wolf girl celebrated as she continued to slowly suffocate the poor raven by staying seated on his stomach. "Since you lost the bet, you have to join Fairy Tail!"
"Wha... What bet? We never... had a bet!" Len managed to say, slightly glaring at the girl sitting on top of him. "Gah... Get off me!"
The brown haired just grinned, but did as she was told and stood up, helping the amnesiac stand up in the process. Romeo and his father stood by their side, the fire mage looking incredulously at the monster eater.
"Since when did you win?" the dark haired seemingly asked her, crossing his arms.
"Since now! I just defeated Len, duh! I tackled him to the ground after that dragon disappeared." the brown haired talked back, her hands by her hips.
"Speaking of that dragon, your magic's awesome, Len!" Romeo turned to the amnesiac with a grin for a moment, then back to the wolf girl with a confident look on his face. "Anyway, if you're talking about the ones who fell on the ground, then that means you two lost! I was the last one standing."
"What!"
"Len defeated you with his dragon, and you beat him by tackling him down. And that leaves me to win!"
"That... That..." Rudy stammered, still unable to accept defeat. She tried to rack her brain for any comeback to his statement, but eventually decided to give in. "F-Fine! You win this time! But next time, you're going down, papa's boy!"
Romeo popped a vein. "What was that, dog breath?"
"Don't call me that, pipsqueak!"
"Wh-Why you... Stupid dog!"
"That does it!"
The bickering mages eventually resulted into a petty fight, the idle amnesiac watching the two as he stood beside the purple haired man. The two just had exasperated looks on their faces, almost sighing simultaneously. Len thought that Rudy had the ability to make anyone bicker with her, even with Romeo who he believed was a calm and good-hearted boy. Macao then turned to the raven, seeing as he never recognized his face in the guild before. He suddenly realized that he was the child that Niven brought over, and he subconsciously took a step back.
"You... You're the one that was brought in by Niven, aren't you?" he seemingly asked the black bird. The said raven nodded hesitantly.
"I-I guess."
So, he was a mage? What kind of magic was that, anyway? I never saw anything like that before., the old man thought to himself.
After Rudy and Romeo finished their little quarrel, they received more injuries than from their spar a while ago, making the two watchers sigh. Macao immediately escorted the trio back to the infirmary, dragging Mirajane with them as they made their way there. Everyone in the guild was curious about the commotion from outside a while back and tried to ask Macao some questions, but the said purple flare mage didn't utter anything, knowing that he had to discuss this more importantly with the Master.
Aaand, ta-da! This chappie's about the debut of Len's magic, which is Demon Summoning. Meh brother wanted the main character to have summoning powers, and also Seven Deadly Sins-related. So, it came to this.
Hope you like, and please review!
