I have been dying to write this chapter for a long time. Also, I am on Thanksgiving Break now and I will have a TON of time to write. If any of you have been keeping up with my other stories then you know that several of them are very, unnoticed by me. Should I be updating them over the break or keep this story going strong? You decide! Anyways, here is the fight. It's a bit quick because the military is devious.
Gomen
Benny scanned his enemies quickly like Cocoon had taught him. One was this weird pink headed guy who wouldn't shut up about fighting. There was a big guy with a shaven head and wore a military uniform decorated with several metals. He had a hawkish look to him. The other was a girl that had nky black hair that reaches her shoulder and is usually tied into a sidetail, periwinkle blue eyes and slightly tanned. She's about 5ft 6 and wears black denim shorts with a loose white belt, a white camisole with an ink splatter design on it, a baggy zipped hoodie with the guild's emblem on the back in neon blue, neon blue combat boots and a pair of ocean blue headphones around her neck. She seemed a bit tense. Benny grinned. Good, it was always fun fighting tense people. They made a lot of mistakes. Benny decided to break the awkward silence.
"So, anyone care to tell me why we are fighting? I see no reason to be doing this. I mean, this is a nice town and my guild mates are already on their way to Arcana but you guys probably already figured that out." Benny said as he smiled a cocky smile.
Alistair nodded and stepped forward.
"That's right, it was obvious that your friends would be moving to Arcana. But the fact that you would destroy this entire town is unacceptable. Your guild is to be disbanded immediately and your friend Walther is wanted on 8 different charges of kidnapping." Alistair said as he brought his fists up to his face.
Benny cocked his head to the side. Oh, he was one of those guys…
"8 kidnappings? I was thinking more like 40. Have fun trying to find the bodies. They deserved what they got." Benny said, obviously trying to provoke Kiligor.
Kiligor was about to lash out when Natsu blasted forward, fists flaming. Benny seemed a bit surprised but that was only for a second as he dodged out of the way and smashed his legs into Natsu as he passed. Benny landed on his feet, looking impressed.
"A fire dragon slayer? Igneel?" Benny asked.
Natsu gasped as he stood. He dusted himself off and his fists erupted in flame once again. This guy knew Igneel?
"You know Igneel? Fire Dragon's Fiery fist!" Natsu shouted as he threw punches left and right.
Benny was easily dodging, amazed by how incredibly clumsy Natsu was.
"Sure I do! I met him once! I mean-"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" shouted Natsu as the column of fire burst from his mouth as Benny got distracted.
The fire was like a fist to the face as Benny slammed into a building and the entire building went down. People ran screaming and Kiligor looked concerned as he sent the citizens on their way. He knew Fairy Tail mages couldn't be trusted. He didn't trust either Natsu or Rina. He only trusted his military comrades. Benny got up from the wreckage, still smiling. Looks like that kid had spunk! Benny's entire arm length burst into flame, sending blistering heat blasting through the row of buildings, completely destroying them. Kiligor finally decided to step in. He couldn't allow the damage of this city any longer!
"Aumakua!" he shouted as a jet of water sprayed from his arm and took the form of a shark.
Benny covered his arm as the water splashed over him, dimming the fire on his arm. Natsu took that as an chance to strike several blows at Benny. Benny tumbled back through several houses and got up, still smiling. He smiled at pretty much everything. His body seemed to glow as he got up.
"Looks like just my arm isn't good enough for you guys. Well, I guess I have to switch, TO FULL BODY!" Benny shouted happily as his entire body burst into golden flame.
The heat was so intense, it melted glass the glass from the windows and turned any broken concrete into a soupy mess. Benny blasted forward and smashed both fists into Natsu. Natsu tried eating the flames but got himself burned as Benny smashed his foot into his face, sending him flying back. Kiligor sent a wave of water blasting towards Benny and the flames dimmed for a while but Benny just reignited. Meanwhile, Rina was taking all this in. She was smart and while she admired Natsu, she knew he was doing it wrong. Benny was a fire mage who had a power similar to Natsu's. That meant that he had similar weaknesses and, she could count on the military's trump card coming into play here. Benny flipped over Kiligor as he tried to completely douse Benny and hit his back, sending him flying against a wall.
"Looks like your weak to hot temperatures! Good for me!" Benny said joyfully as he hoped onto the side of a building and looked at Rina.
"Why hello there. Doesn't look like you like fighting very much. WELL TOO BAD!" Benny shouted as he ran along the wall and dived towards Rina.
Rina smiled a bit as she dodged out of the way. He was also as predictable as Natsu. Rina threw out her hand as Benny tried to come back.
"Lighting magic, thunder!" she shouted as a huge lightning bolt flew down from the sky and hit Benny.
Benny arced backwards as the electricity burned around him. Benny seemed to let out a grunt as he shook it off. Suddenly he flew forward and slammed against a lamp post. Kiligor and Natsu stood next to Rina, gasping for breath. They had concentrated their attacks together so they could effectively send Benny flying away.
"You ok Rina?" Natsu asked.
"Im fine, thanks." Rina said as she watched Benny turn the lamp post into molten metal.
"Just how in the world do we take this guy down?" Kiligor said as he slammed his fist against the side of a ruined building.
Benny started to stand upright, laughing a bit. He didn't seem hurt by the hit against the lamp post.
"You know. Vulcanus once said to me, get back up or you will be consumed by the dark flames of the past. I take those words to heart. I REALLY take them to heart." Benny said calmly as the flames shifted to a slight purplish color.
Natsu decided to step forward. He was dying to know who this "Vulcanus" was and what magic Benny was using.
"Who is Vulcanus? What magic are you even using?" he asked as Benny made a random duck face.
Benny decided to get serious and answered the question.
"Vulcanus, the dragon of the hearth or fire or whatever. He didn't teach me slayer magic because he said that he already had an apprentice but he did teach me, Pyromaniac. You see, I am a Pyro. I like fire. But what if I could control fire to the greatest extent? What if I wanted to become fire itself? Vulcanus taught me all of this and more. Im a dual mage by the way. Pyromaniac and Embers is my magic. Now if you excuse me, im in the mood for roasted shark!" he shouted as he ran towards Kiligor, eyes burning.
Rina grinned as Kiligor doused him completely with a horde of sharks made of water. Benny flew backwards and landed with a growl. Normal reaction. Fire is always weak against water. But, Kiligor looked like he was taking a beating. He must be weak against high temperatures… Rina put on a confident face as she threw her hands in the air.
"Lightning Magic! Volt!" she shouted as storm clouds formed around the area and rapid bursts of electricity slammed into Benny.
"Agh!" Benny would let out short yells of pain with each bolt.
Kiligor and Natsu took this opportunity to use their strongest spells into Benny.
"Dragon God's Magnificent Flame!" Natsu grinned as golden surrounded Benny and blasted him with the hottest flame.
"Dakuwaqua!" Kiligor roared as a huge shark made of water erupted from the piping system underneath the city and ate Benny in a single gulp.
"Nice job Rina! You gave us the perfect opening!" Natsu cheered as he struck a victorious pose.
"Indeed, I might just trust you Fairy Tail mages now…" Kiligor said as he looked at the shark that was chewing.
Rina smiled and toyed with the headphones around her neck.
"Oh he isn't done yet…" she smiled. "You may want to check on your trump card now, Colonel."
Kiligor looked surprised and narrowed his eyes. That was supposed to be a military secret!
"How did you know this…" he growled.
"I am smart Colonel. I know that the military can not hope to take this man without a trump card." Rina explained coolly.
Kiligor grunted and touched the radio on his uniform. It burst to life with the sounds of gun fire and screams.
"Whats your status Sumire." Kiligor asked.
"A-almost finished! They are putting up a tough fight but we are almost to your position!" shouted Sumire through the radio.
"Good. Get here as soon as possible." Kiligor said as the radio was turned off.
Rina smiled. Benny was as good as done, no matter how strong he was. The shark that was chewing on Benny suddenly looked like it was going to vomit. It exploded a second later, sending water flying everywhere.
"Agh! Water!" Natsu complained as he got soaked.
Benny fell to the ground, completely drenched. He started to stagger to his feet. He seemed to be losing consciousness. He let out a short laugh and stood upright.
"Well, you almost got me there. But I think its time for me to finish this. Embers." He said darkly.
Rina felt a pang of fear go through her. If the military didn't get here soon!
"Lightning Magic! Zeus!" she shouted as a huge hand came from the dark storm clouds and grabbed Benny.
The hand instantly became electrocharged and Benny could be heard screaming. He fell to the ground, growling. He barely managed to stand back up. He was not looking too good. His clothes were torn and his eyes didn't see straight. His breathing was shallow.
"N-no…Embers!" Benny screamed as a wave of pure fire blew out of his eyes and mouth at a continuous rate.
The fire stretched incredibly far and destroyed entire sections of the town as he swung his head around rapidly. He was going to kill them! Benny finally focused on the group and instantly, the group of 3 burst into flames.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" all 3 of them screamed as they attempted to avoid the stream of fire engulfing them.
"Ehehehe! I am fire itself! You can not escape!" Benny laughed as he watched the 3 mages burn.
He especially disliked Rina. She knew everything about him! His weakness to lightning for it was the opposite of what Vulcanus had taught him. He was enjoying himself when…
BOOOOMMMM!
One of the stores near Benny exploded in concrete fragments. Out came Sumire, holding a teenage girl hostage. Her clothes signified her as a noble and her face was smudged with ash but she was beautiful with dark black hair and purple eyes. She noticed Benny and called out to him.
"Benny! They took me from my house! My father's soldiers tried to stop them but they couldn't!" she shouted at him.
Benny froze and the flames quickly extinguished. His mouth fell open and Benny fell to his knees.
"J-Julia?"
The girl nodded and Kiligor quickly pulled a pistol from his uniform and aimed it at the girl's head. His face was an emotionless mask as the pistol was aimed spot on. Rina and Natsu gasped. This was what the military was planning? Rina didn't even think the military would go that far to kill a noble girl!
"Surrender. Or this girl will die today." Kiligor said emotionlessly.
Benny almost broke out into tears. His emotions were spiraling out of control. He couldn't, abandon Toy Box could he? But…the love of his life was about to die… Benny hung his head and tears spilled as his forehead touched the ground.
"I-I-I-I s-surrender…" Benny stuttered.
Sumire let the girl go and the girl quickly ran towards Benny and hugged him. Kiligor put the pistol away and quickly handcuffed the broken Benny.
"Toy Box…Vulcanus…im sorry…" Benny said as he cried deeply with Julia.
The gates of Arcana
Misa Kimoko leaned against the gates of the Wizard Council building. She was from the guild Goliath and was a representative from her guild. It was a bit sad that her guild could only afford to send her as back up for Toy Box but recent events had sent the guild into chaos. The death of David Goliath, the guild's original founder had put his son, Lopez as the guild master. He was still trying to get things situated. Misa yawned. They sure were late… She had Short brown hair, green eyes,guild-stamp on right shoulder-blade, tall for her age, flat chested. Normally wears a tank top and jeans. She spotted Lucifer and Cocoon coming from the distance. Axel was being carried by Lucifer and they didn't look too good. Misa went to help them.
"Whats going on? Why are you guys so hurt?" Misa asked as Axel was passed to her.
Lucifer tightened a bandage on his shoulder. Blood was spilling from the wound.
"An ambush. The best mages, all put in one spot. All Wizard Saints.." Lucifer grunted as they quickly moved towards the gates of the council building.
Cocoon cut the locks on the gate with a single spark and entered.
"We have brought the fight onto their territory. Of course they fight so hard. Isn't that right, Makarov and Guran?" Cocoon asked in a robotic voice.
The doors to the council building burst open and Makarov and Guran came out. They stared darkly at Cocoon and the others. Soon, other mages appeared, teleported in by the military. The 3 military officers stood among them. Akari and Sumire were in top condition but Kiligor was breathing hard. Cocoon let out a laugh.
"It seems fitting to fight here. Not even 30 years ago, Julius Silence fought Serex Yosser and both lay here, side by side, dead. And now, the greatest mages of the world, face each other on this holy ground." Cocoon said bitterly.
"Everyone who is about to fight, do not damage the graves of the fallen. It will show great disrespect to our heroes and old rulers." Makarov said as everyone nodded.
"Toy Box, prepare for battle. Do not even think about touching the graves." Cocoon said.
Walther, Misa, Lucifer and Axel nodded. Time had come.
Westcliff, the garden of Illuminati
Saint Evadeus sat on a concrete bench and listened to the sounds of bird flying through the trees. He was wearing his saintly robes and he sat among blooming flowers. Sadly, he could not see them. He was reading from a book written in Braille. The trauma he went through on his own journey, had developed badly and he was permanently blind in both eyes. His health was continuing to get worse and without the comfort of his sister, he was starting to get even sicker.
Tap Tap Tap Tap
The sounds were heard clearly by Noel's enhanced vision. He looked up even though he could no longer see.
"Who is there?" he asked.
Tap Tap Tap
"Its is me, Saint Evadeus." said a smooth voice.
Noel seemed to relax.
"Ah, its just you, Mr. Steel." Noel said, calmed by his smooth voice.
There was a sound like someone was sitting.
"Noel, let me tell you a story…a very deep story…about a man named…."
Name: Cocoon
Age: ?
Gender: ? presumed to be male
Magic: King of the Void (only mage in Toy Box to have 1 magic)
History: not much is known about Cocoon at all
Personality: Cocoon is seen as a father figure like Lucifer. However, he is a machine and can not communicate effectively with people. He is calm and knows exactly what to do in situations. A natural leader.
Appearance: Cocoon is little more than a steel cylinder that levitates. The top is rounded with 3 lights arranged in a triangle formation (think the android thing with no arms or legs and no stupid face). The panels that hide man different sort of weapons is hidden by the smooth metal. He can create 3 mechanical tripod legs to walk but rarely uses them. He is colored steel grey. Green lights indicate happiness. Red lights indicate anger. Grey lights indicate extreme anger. Yellow is neutrality.
