Now I know what it is to have a writer's block. And to all the fools out their it ain't only the lack of ideas, but many other things. Though i had some problems with them. My stories are like swiss cheese or better analogy like roads in Poland. Sometimes I have the beginning and the ending, but not the middle or I have everything except a good beginning. I think, I'll be able to write the next chapter a lot sooner, but I don't give promises. For now enjoy this one.
Chapter VII : The hot fight
"Jellal." Spoke the dragon slayer with a trembling voice. "So you now me in your world . Are we friends? Of course I mean your world me not me." Said the tall young man with short, blue hair.
He was wearing long, white coat with golden trimming and a constant smile. "Kind of." Answered the confused Natsu. Than he turned towards Ultear and said. "I don't think it's a good idea to take him with us." "I agree he is a fool, but a strong and reliable one." She replied. "Oh! Thank you Ultear." Said the blue haired man before realizing he was also insulted. "Wait a minute you called me a fool!" "Shut up you idiot!" The vortex mage overpowered him with just her voice.
"And what about me Onee-chan." Spoke a little girl with a hint of anger. She was short with long, pink hair combed in a similar style as Ultear's, her clothes wear in a similar fashion as those of
the vortex mage. "Oh, yes! This is Meredy and no, she isn't my younger sister." "Oh, yeah! I haven't Introduced myself." Interrupted the blue-haired man, before his head was clamped between the fist of both girls. "He already knows your name you moron!" The two shouted at him, but despite that he managed to mutter "Jellal Vincente, nice to meet you. Natsu just laughed seeing this scene before his eyes. He felt joy that tho it wasn't his Fairy Tail it had a similar warm feeling. It took his mind from those bad things that happened so far at least for a while. "Enough, goofing around!"
The vortex mage ended this blissful moment. "I will take us to their last known location and from their we'll start our search. Everybody nodded as a sign of understanding, except for Jellal, who was still a bit wobbly after receiving those two punches to the head. Ultear ignored it however and transported the group.
In a different place, a certain ice mage was hiding for his life. "Damn it! First I'm lost and I can't find Erza, Natsu or the others, than this. It must be my lucky day." He thought to himself.. "Man and don't forget about this heat. Why did i have to land in the middle of the fucking desert.
"Show yourself bastard!" Shouted a young man with spiky, slicked back, blond hair and a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his left eye. The blond man was destroying every hiding spot in his sight looking for the black-haired, ice mage. Following him was an older, tanned man with
black-hair and long, thin, black beard. "Son, do you see him?" Asked the older man. "No, but we'll find him." The ice mage was trapped. He looked around, but the only thing he could see were some rocks and sand, lots of sand. He thought to himself. "I shouldn't have entered that inn."
Flashback:
The ice mage was traveling through a vast desert. Confused and exhausted from the heat he was looking for his friends or at least a sign of life on this wasteland. He was awfully close to loosing hope, when he spotted a ray of hope. In a distance he could see an oasis and next to it was an old fashioned inn, like those you could find in cities or along country roads. Tho the sight was strange he thought to himself, he rushed towards it at full speed. He didn't care, if it was real or a mirage, he just run. A smile appeared on his face when he grabbed the doorknob. It was real. Just as he stepped inside everyone's gazes turned towards him. Almost all of them where filled with fear with the exception of two men. The two emanated with such hostility you couldn't notice it. To the ice mages surprise both men were familiar faces to him. Those two men were Laxus and his father Ivan. At first it seemed odd to him seeing them together, but then he remembered the other master Makarov. Not knowing if they were allies of Dread or not, he decided to act with caution and speak with them. Although that wasn't an option, cause he didn't take a single step or say a word, before he was sent flying out of the inn by a bolt of lightning. The attack destroyed the door and front windows, but surprisingly did little harm to Gray. "Did you kill him?" Asked the older one.
"I don't think so. I didn't want to risk any bystanders getting hurt." Answered the young one.
While the two men were exchanging words, the ice mage stood up from the ground. "So they must be his allies." He thought. He didn't want to give them a chance for a second attack so he extended his arms and said "aisu meiku: ransu". A bunch of ice lances was lunched at them, but not even one hit the target, cause they were all by a giant, stone golem. "That's enough that dad I'll deal with him myself." Spoke the blond man. The older man gave a sign of approval and the fight or rather the chase begun. Gray tried all tricks he knew on him. He used hammers,swords,axes even gungnir, but non seemed to work. He knew, he never won against his Laxus, but he didn't expect this to be an even more difficult opponent. Not to mention this immense heat which weakened his ice constructs.
The only thing he had left was to run away, but that was as equally, cause there was little to none places to hide in this damned desert. After a quit long run he reached some small rock formation,
but the thing that caught his attention was a small ditch which he almost missed. Thinking it will be a good hiding place, he created a wall of ice with what little magic he had left to conceal his movement and jumped into the ditch.
End of flashback.
"I could just stay outside, but I had to go inside." The ice mage whined to himself. Meanwhile the two men were still looking for him. He could hear in their voices that they were getting more pissed by the minute. "Maybe they give it a rest." He thought to himself, but that was just wishful thinking, cause a moment later he heard. "I found you." Gray abandoned his cover to avoid an attack from Laxus, but he wasn't fast enough, his leg was injured. Knowing that he won't be able the next attack he prepared himself for the worst. The blond man came closer towards the injured ice mage. He raised arm, which started to cover with sparks, then he swung it saying "frusta del demonio"
and a lightning bolt went straight at Gray. The ice mage closed his eyes, but to his surprise the spell didn't hit him. "Did he miss." The black-haired mage thought. Tho it wasn't it. When he opened his, he saw that his ass was saved by none other than Natsu Dragneel. Although he quarreled with him many times, He was so happy to see him, he could cry. Although that won't happen, cause he is to proud.
- Are you alright popsickle?
- I'm fine and don't call me popsicle, flamebrain!
- I'm glad your fine.
Unfortunately there wasn't anymore time to chitchat Laxus went all out at Natsu this using his fist. They exchanged a few blows, but to the dragon slayers confusion every time he hit or was hit, he got shocked by lightning. "What the fuck!" "How do you like my "tuono armatura?" The demon slayer taunted the pink-haired mage. "How about something stronger." Said the blond mage.
He extended his hand and a lightning ball started to form. Immediately after the sphere reached
a huge size, the demon slayer threw it at the two Fairy Tail mages shouting "Tempesta!".
The lightning ball almost struck Natsu, but suddenly it disappeared. everyone was baffled, but just for a while cause loud sound just like an explosion brought them back from the state of confusion.
Not far from them a giant crater was formed, its bottom was filled with glass shards. From
the opposite direction of the explosion site there was Ultear running and yelling like mad.
"Laxus, Ivan stop it! Those aren't Dagon and Fullgrave!" "What!" Both father and son shouted unanimously. Few seconds later the vortex mage was standing next to the confused mages, followed by the rest of the group.
- Ultear could you explain everything.
- Of course Ivan, but it's a long story. so why don't we return to the inn?
- OK, but expect thorough answers.
- Of course.
And as they said, they all went back to the inn. Clearing this whole mess took some time, practically the rest of the day, but with the help of some cold drinks they sorted everything out.
As it was already nightfall they decided to stay at the inn for the night, but it won't be a peaceful one. At least not for all of them.
In an unknown location Fairy Tail's Titania was still imprisoned by the dark guild "Goats Song".
Alone and stripped of her clothes she was chained to the wall unable to escape. Although she was
a strong person, the loneliness, the darkness and the cold were getting to her. She was holding her tears only, because she had hope, no she knew Natsu will find her. Erza was about to fall asleep
when she heard the sound of the doors opening. Her other self has just entered the cell.
- What do you want ?
- How rude! You shouldn't speak so to your host.
In this moment Bloody scarlet kicked her prisoner. She started speaking about how they had
a long discussion concerning what she said earlier. And that they decided to interrogate her further about this matter. She stopped in this moment and looked straight into her twins eyes. In one pair you could see something devilish and in the other glimpses of fear. Then the Darkland Erza said.
"Although it isn't my prime objective tonight. I came here to have fun and punish the bitch, who tried to seduce my husband." She equipped herself with a whip and a sadistic grin appeared on her face. This night Erza Scarlet won't be alone, but she would definitely prefer to.
