Hello and welcome back to another chapter. Before we get started, I would like to thank you for your continued patience. I'm sorry but I've been gaining and losing ideas for this part rather fast. So coming up with another chapter to write for this story can be mind-numbing. That said, I do not own anything related to Fairy Tail or Rosario + Vampire. That's all I have to say for now, so Let's get started.

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist
Fairy Tale HQ, Team A
The corridor containing the battleground for Team A of Yokai Academy's newspaper club, and the 6th and 7th division leaders of the Fairy Tale was in shambles. Several columns were shattered, the stone brick walls had several cracks going through it, and the marble floor fared no better. At the moment Team A was currently recovering from the battle that had recently taken place.
Mizore and Kurumu resting on the floor with their backs against one another. Ruby on the other hand was unconscious nearby. All three of the girls were covered in sweat, fatigue, cuts, and bruises. Not too far away in a way worse condition were the division leaders of Fairy Tale. Said division leaders were badly bruised, also bearing signs of cuts, wounds, and a few signs of broken bones. The only difference between the two sides was that Team A of Yokai Academy's group were still conscious, well mostly.
Panting in exhaustion, Mizore and Kurumu were both taking advantage of the lack of fighting to catch their breath and slowly recover from their tough battles. Looking at all the destruction the room bared, one could only guess as to what went down here.
Pant Pant "Y-you know Mi-Mizoreā¦" Kurumu paused to take another breath, and then continued. "I never want to go t-through that again." she finished tiredly. Receiving a small nod of agreement, Kurumu barely turned her head to look at Ruby who was still out cold. 'To think that she would resort to using such a powerful technique, it's no wonder she lost consciousness immediately afterwards.' She thought.
Flashback
Immediately after both groups had clashed in the middle of the room, minor shockwaves from the collisions were sent in numerous directions causing the ground beneath the combatants to crack slightly. "Mou, no way. You guys are supposed to be dead." Routier stated with a childish pout. As she was about to continue ranting, a grunt of disapproval from her senior made her think otherwise.
"Alright fine, looks like we'll just have to try harder to eliminate you." Routier vehemently stated. As soon as she finished talking, she revved up her chainsaw and charged straight for Mizore. At the same time, her fellow division leaders also initiated the offensive, charging straight for their chosen opponents.
Once Routier was within striking range of Mizore she hefted her chainsaw up, and swung it downwards diagonally. Though due to the heavy weight of the chainsaw, Mizore was able to quickly maneuver out of the way in time and retaliated with horizontal slash from her ice claw.
Just the claw reached Routier's face, Routier was able to quickly bring her chainsaw up to intercept the attack and shatter the claw all in one go. Putting on a smug look Routier decided to taunt Mizore. "My spinning blades of death will always beat your ice, in any situation." She boasted.
Deciding to ignore her attempted taunt, Mizore leapt back some and formed some kunai out of ice before sending them right for Routier. While Routier was able to avoid getting hit by all of the kunai Mizore had thrown, a few of them did manage to nick her clothes, tearing it in several places. Outraged Routier revved her chainsaw once more. Screaming her heart out. "HOW DARE YOU RUIN MY CLOTHES! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY YOU FILTHY PEST!" not even a second after she finished, she charged forwards at blinding speed, stopping right in front of Mizore, she managed to strike her across her chest with incredible force. Sending Mizore rocketing into a wall and cratering inside.
Luckily, Mizore had only just enough time to reinforce herself with an ice-based armor. Though the devastating force behind Routier's raging attack shattered her armor in an instant, it managed to prevent a fatal injury. Even though Mizore survived the attack, it did not keep her companions shouting out for her in concern.
As Ruby moved to check on Mizore's condition, she was intercepted by Xia-Long. Utilizing his skull cane, Xia-Long threw several quick thrusts in quick succession at Ruby, forcing the witch to back up and away from Mizore. "So I suppose you are to be my opponent?" she asked. Not getting an answer from her assailant, she tried to get around Xia-Long once more, only to be intercepted with another round of swings from his skull cane. One of said swings, barely missed Ruby's head, but the force of the swing was enough to make a small crater where the motion of the swing ended.
'He's stronger than he looks.' Ruby thought. She then proceeded to regain her balance, and thought. 'But so am I.' she finished. Preparing a short incantation, Ruby aimed her staff at Xia-Long's direction and fired several bursts of magic at her target. Though the spells were moving fairly fast, Xia-Long was able to get out of the way of the attack and avoid it completely.
This time instead of defending, Xia-Long went on the offensive. Sending multiple swings, thrusts and a whole lot of other attacks straight for Ruby. Unable to react in time, Ruby took the brunt of the assault. Now extremely banged up, with several bruises showing up everywhere on her body, she went to hold up her magical staff for another round of spells, only to notice that the staff had been broken. Her only weapon on hand now useless, Ruby was forced to get out of the way of another barrage of attacks. Now on the ground, and covered in dust, bruises, and running out of stamina, Ruby slowly backpedaled along the ground as Xia-Long loomed over her.
She suddenly came to a stop when her hand brushed against a book. More specifically due to the magical essence she felt emanating from said book, she realized that is was some sort of magic tome. Desperate for a way to fight back, Ruby used most of her energy to quickly grab the tome, call out a quick incantation, and held her hand out towards Xia-Long. At first, nothing happened and Xia-Long prepared to finish her off. Summoning a handgun from the flower on his wrist, Xia-Long aligned the barrel of the gun to Ruby's forehead.
Just as he fired a round, all of a sudden, Ruby's outstretched hand let loose a brilliant beam of magic which managed to knock back Xia-Long. Luckily, due to the shockwaves that came from the impact of the magical beam and Xia-Long's body, the bullet Xia-Long had fired was deflected slightly and lodged itself in Ruby's shoulder. Screaming out in pain, Ruby held her hand on her shoulder to try to slow the blood loss.
Shocking everyone who witnessed the attack, several people thought Xia-Long would be finished off for good after taking that attack head on. Only for the same people to be further shocked when it seemed that Xia-Long had merely shrugged off the damage it had dealt. Deciding as now as the best time to end this, Xia-Long spoke up for the first time since starting this fight. "Impressive, but sadly it is still not enough to stop me." He said. As soon as he finished speaking there was a glow in the floor. Once the glow faded away, almost immediately afterwards a large flower seemingly 'grew' out of the ground. Once it finished growing, Xia-Long spoke up again. "You should consider it an honor that I have decided to kill you with grace." After he said this, the flower's petals hardened instantaneously, then the now razor sharp petals were shot right for Ruby.
Still tired from exhaustion, Ruby was unable to move out of the way. Though she managed to save enough strength to cast one more incantation. Once the petals struck her, it was lights out for her.
Miraculously, Kurumu could sense that Ruby was still alive, though unconscious. Turning her attention to Ruby's opponent, she was shocked to find Xia-Long also unconscious. 'What did she do? And how did no one notice her attack?' she thought.
Enraged at seeing her mentor fall, Routier quickly moved over to Ruby's unconscious form ready to strike her down. "HOW DARE YOU DO THIS! I WILL END YOU HERE AND NOW!" she proclaimed. Just as her chainsaw connected with Ruby's body, the entire weapon froze up and shattered into pieces. Turning her head to the source, she saw Mizore back up and ready for more. Unable to properly vent her anger, Routier rushed for Mizore looking to take out her anger on the one who prevented her from 'avenging' her fallen master.
Alright and that'll do it for this chapter. Once again thank you for your patience with me. Recently I just got a part-time job so I've been working almost every day now. Which meant less time to spend on stories. Sorry if the fights were not up to your expectations. On a brighter note, for those of you who love harems and all things harem related, there is a triple-crossover story I've been working on alongside TheFallenEnemy. It's titled, Family means everything, and is a triple-crossover of Fairy Tail, Highschool DxD, and Akame ga Kill, so check it out if you really want. You should also visit TheFallenEnemy's profile, he's bound to have some stories that may catch your interest, which I should mention have Beta read chapters for his stories. That's all I have to say, so I will see you when I see you.
