Chapter 9: Recovering

After the showdown that Sonic had against the black dragon slayer, Sonic returns back to the guild and checks on everyone. Team Natsu along with the other Fairy Tail wizards are back over to the guild. Sonic and Kenny enter inside opening the guild doors to check if everyone's ok but they were not ok. Some of them went to the infirmary with Laxus, Gajeel and Pantherlily to treat their wounds even Natsu and Gray had taken the worse beating including Erza.

"Makarov, is everyone ok?" Sonic asked as Kenny hop off Sonic's shoulder.

"We'll live, some of our members are in the infirmary to recover their wounds after the brutal ambush by the unknown wizard who came looking for you." Makrov answered.

"I know. Warren filled me in about everything."

"So did you take care of that wizard?" Macao asked.

"Yes. Yes I did. He even send me a message to fight him when he took over Cana's body using body possession magic."

"WHAT? He used my daughter to send you a message. Where is that son of a bitch right now?" Gildarts demanded.

"There's no need to deal with him Gildarts. I defeated him and got rid of him taught him a lesson to not to mess with Fairy Tail not when I'm around."

"Thank you Sonic. You sure are a real man and a great guy. I wish my daughter would be your wife."

"*Blush* Yeah well I'm happily married so you know I'm not a cheating dog you know."

"I know and that's what I like about you Sonic. But still you could still have Cana."

"Ok time to change the subject. So how is the others, how is my wife?"

"Erza? She's with the others in the infirmary recovering themselves also Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Carla, Laxus, Gajeel, Pantherlily and including Wendy." Wakaba informed.

"What? Wendy's injured?"

"Only a few minor of injures but not too bad."

"Oh thank goodness."

"Hey Sonic, what happen to your sword and gauntlet?" Macao asked.

"Oh I broke it during my fight with that wizard."

"Sorry to hear you lose your equipments."

"It's ok. Come on Kenny, let's go pay the others a visit."

"Right."

Kenny activate his wings and follows Sonic out of the guild but before Sonic could leave, Cana rushes over to Sonic and hugged him tightly embracing in a warmth comfort. She then planted a kiss on Sonic's cheek.

"Thank you for dealing with that bastard Sonic. You gave that guy a intense beating and finished him off." Cana thanked.

"No problem." Sonic responded.

Sonic let's go of Cana and he and his exceed left the guild to pay the others a warm visit.


The Infirmary…

Team Natsu, Laxus, Gajeel and Pantherlily laying on their beds recovering from their brutal ambush by the simple unknown and wanted wizard that hurt Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale and the Sabertooth guild. The room was quiet, none of them seem to speak to one another as they thought about how brutal and intense beating they got from that wizard.

The silence has finally broken when a door begins to open, all eyes were towards to the door and they see Sonic with Kenny entering inside the room checking on everyone.

"Hey guys." Sonic greeted.

"Sonic. Oh man am I glad to see you." Gray said smiling.

"Yeah you bring a smile on my face Sonic." Lucy added.

"Hey Sonic. I'm so happy that you're here and even you Kenny." Wendy said with glee.

"Sonic. Hey did you take care of that punk who had mess with Fairy Tail?" Natsu asked.

"Yeah did you gave that punk a big beating for what he did to me and my cat?" Gajeel pressed on asking a question.

"Yeah I want to hear this. Did you defeat him?" Laxus jumped in.

"Yes. Yeah I defeat that jerk and taught him a lesson." Sonic answered honestly.

"Did you kill him?" Happy asked.

"Happy, don't you dare say that word?" Carla demanded.

"Sorry."

"Yes Happy. I killed that wizard who hurt all of you and even my wife." Sonic responded crossing his fingers behind him.

"So how strong was he?" Pantherlily asked.

"We was real powerful and even stronger than my three levels of my super form."

"WHAT?" everyone shouted.

"How could anyone be that powerful than you?" Lucy asked.

"Hey let's not jump to conclusions. Now as I was saying, this guy was real powerful but he couldn't defeat me in my level four of my super form. He almost killed me at first but I escape his strongest spell and ascended to my super form 4."

"Not that's a relief." Gray sighed.

"It sure is, I'm glad you came and deal with that guy. We tried to stop him for looking for you and trying to kill you." Lucy apologized.

"Yeah I was so scared if that jerk would find you and kill you in the splitting second. We don't want to go through the same pain all these seven years ago mourning about your death." Wendy whimpered shedding tears.

Sonic walks over to Wendy and hugs her gently.

"Wendy… it's ok, I'm not going anywhere. I'll never leave all of you behind, sure I would risk my life to save all of you but that's my responsibility is to keep all of you save from harm and severe dangerous foes coming in my way. I will always be there to protect you, you just got to believe it inside your heart. Understand." Sonic said with wisdom words.

Wendy wipe the tears from her eyes and smiled towards Sonic. Lucy look on shedding a tear from her eye as well.

"I will and thank you Sonic." Wendy thanked.

"No problem. Just trying to help a caring friend." Sonic replied.

Sonic kisses Wendy on the forehead making the sky dragon slayer blush rose pink. Sonic walks over to Erza and holds her hand sitting on the side of the bed.

"My love… I tried to…" Erza stuttered but Sonic interrupted her.

"You don't need to say anything. It's alright, I was so worried about you back there. Now that you're alright, I can finally relax and stop worrying." Sonic replied smiling to his Titania wife.

"I'm glad you're ok Sonic."

"Me too. Get some rest."

"Hey Sonic." Natsu called.

"Hmm."

"How come you have to kill that guy, I wanted to go one on one with him."

"I know you hold that grudge against him but taking him one on one would kill you on the spot. His magic is too powerful to overcome and you know it as I know even everyone knows it."

"That's true." Gray agreed.

"I would still would beat that punk." Gajeel murmured.

"You're telling me." Laxus agreed.

"I'm going to be leaving out of the room so all of you get some rest." Sonic said waving everyone goodbye.

Lucy blew a kiss over to Sonic. Sonic smile and he and Kenny exits the room and exits the infirmary.

"Looks like they'll be staying there for a few days to recover." Sonic stated.

"Yeah. The doctor told us about that and they're going to be ok." Kenny replied.

"Yeah. Although, I can't tell anyone about Zack being a Dragon Slayer at least not yet I presume."

"I know. So we'll have to keep it a secret for now right?"

"That's right."

"And what about Darkness the Hedgehog?"

"Hmm."

"Your old arch nemesis, what about him. Are you going to tell them?"

"I was about to but a situation like this it'll have to wait for now anyways but perhaps after the Grand Magic Games I'll tell them."

"How long will you keep this secret?"

"I don't know but I have to try to keep it."

"I see. By the way, I made something for back at the house in the basement."

"You did."

"Yeah can we head over back to our place?"

"Of course."

Sonic and Kenny head back over to the residence. They arrive in minutes, entering inside the house and locking the door behind them while closing it. They head down to the basement and Kenny flew over to the big case.

"Sonic, I want to give you something that I had made for you." Kenny offered.

Sonic walks over to the big case.

"What is it?" Sonic asked.

"Just open and you'll find out." Kenny said letting out a smile.

Sonic shrug his shoulders thinking why not so he unlocks the locks of the case and lift up the lid of the case. Sonic is stunned to see a large sword seeing the height that it is 52 inches with a steel metal that is blue (Sword shape like Ichigo's Zangetsu sword.). Sonic picks up the sword and examines it.

"Whoa… you made this… for me?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah. I spend a few days making that sword to show you my thanks and in case your other sword brings." Kenny answered truthfully.

"I don't know what to say Kenny."

"So what do you think?"

"I like it, it looks awesome Kenny. I didn't know you made swords."

"Yeah thanks. I'm glad you like it."

Sonic notices there is a sword holster inside as it is the color black so Sonic picks up the holster, wraps it around his body and inserts his sword inside his holster and looks himself in the mirror.

"I got to say Kenny, this looks really good on me." Sonic said smiling.

"No scratch that, you look badass." Kenny rephrased.

"Thank you. We got to get you an outfit for you."

"An outfit?"

"Yeah come on. I know a place where we can get you an outfit."

Sonic takes his exceed partner out of the basement and out of the house so they head to a cloth store to shop Kenny for an outfit. Sonic look for a perfect fit for his exceed friend/partner to go along with his style. Sonic smiled, found a nice pair to go for his outfit so he sends Kenny to the dressing room to put on his outfit.

"So how do I look?" Kenny asked.

Sonic looks over to his exceed coming out of the dressing room as he dress on a red and blue shirt, a pair of brown cargo pants and also wears a pair of brown shoes on his feet and wearing grey goggles atop of his head.

"How do I look?" Kenny asked.

"Perfect. Hold on, there is something that I must add to that." Sonic stated.

"What's that?"

Sonic smiled so he kneels down to Kenny, takes something out of his pocket which appears to be a small necklace and puts it around Kenny's neck and there is a pendant on the next. The pendant is a shape of a Gear which it is the color silver.

"A necklace?" Kenny said looking at his necklace.

"Yeah. I saw this at the jewelry store and I know I had to get it for you and give it to you as a gift of our wonderful friendship and partnership buddy. You remind me of my best friend so I thought I want to give you something special buddy." Sonic informed.

Kenny shed tears from his eyes and hugged Sonic.

"Oh Sonic thank you so much, no one has never given me a gift before." Kenny thanked.

"No problem buddy. Since you've done something for me so I thought I want to return you the favor and give you that necklace for the token of our friendship and partnership buddy. I'm glad you like it." Sonic said.

"I love it and thank you so much."

"*Chuckle* Now that's done, let's get out of here."

"Sure."

Sonic pays Kenny's outfit with his money and they left the shop. Sonic and Kenny walks back to the guild.

"Hey Sonic." Kenny said.

"Yeah." Sonic responded.

"Since we're partner and became good friends, should we make a name of our own team?"

"Yeah I was hoping Team Sonic. That's ok with you?"

"Yeah the name suits it very well."

"Cool. Team Sonic it is then."

"Great. It feels so great to form a team."

"Yeah it sure has Kenny it sure has."

Sonic and Kenny continue walking to their destination as they are heading back to the guild. They enter and see that everyone is ok.

"Looks like everyone is ok now." Sonic said.

"Of course we are and how long will the others will be staying in the infirmary?" Makarov asked.

"Only a few days so they're going to be ok."

"That's a relief."

"Yeah I can't believe a wizard that strong almost gave severe injuries to those guys." Macao added.

"Yeah we know. Good thing we don't have to deal with that punk anymore." Wakaba said.

"You're telling me." Gildarts agreed.

"If he was I would give him a manly beating." Elfman said cracking his fists.

"Like I said you don't have to worry Elfman I taken care of it so he won't hurt all of you ever again including your sisters." Sonic reminded.

Elfman begin hugging Sonic to show his gratitude.

"Thank you Sonic, you surely are a real man." Elfman thanked.

"You're welcome now would you kindly put me down." Sonic demanded.

"Oh sorry."

Elfman let's go of Sonic and puts him down.

"So what are you going to do Sonic?" Kinana asked.

"Well since the problem is gone, me and Kenny will be going on a job so we'll check you guys later." Sonic answered.

Sonic walks over to the request board, take a job that caught his entrance and he and Kenny let Mirajane know about the job before leaving.

"Be careful out there Sonic, even you Kenny." Mirajane said sharing her warm smile.

"Thanks. Don't worry, I'll be back." Sonic thanked winking at Mirajane making her blush.

Sonic takes the request as he and Kenny left for their job.

"Hopefully this will keep us occupied." Kenny proclaimed.

"Yeah I believe so. Anyway, let's head on out as Team Sonic." Sonic suggested.

"Yeah let's."

Sonic and Kenny bump their fists together and they exit the guild to go on their job.


Elsewhere…

Darkness watching his arch nemesis and his exceed friend/partner leaving the guild.

"It seems that I underestimated you when we fought Sonic the Hedgehog and even you defeated the powerful dragon slayer. You're becoming stronger than ever as we speak but no more, your time will come when we meet once again but however, enjoy your victories while it last. I will be back." Darkness said before teleporting away.


It seems everyone is ok in one piece. Sonic and Kenny had formed a team together naming their team: Team Sonic. Darkness will make his grand return during the games. What surprises that he has for every civilian in Earthland? Tune in next time for more Fairy of Darkness 3: Age of Darkness.

P.S: The Sword Sonic has is Zangetsu from the Anime and Manga called: Bleach. Thought I would let you guys know so no confusion there.
