Buttercup's POV

I could just kill him! I could just kill him!

They way those two were walking side by side, and Brianna or Dusk or whatever the hell her name is was drop dead goregous with her beautiful white hair and those white eyes.

Even her complicated outfit looked out of this world: Brianna wears a revealing, form-fitting dress of white and brown, and gold consisting of a white top, brown sections on the front and back connecting the top to the skirt over black shorts, cut-out sides at the waist, criss-crossing dark brown straps on the sides of her torso, and two straps that go over her shoulders into a cross-back shape. She wears a storage pack on her right hip that hangs from her waist, white and blackish brown thigh-high leggings, and purple ankle boots, she has a crescent moon on her forehead.

I took a deep breath, reminding myself, I stood by the Wagon, I know Utonium was talking to me but my mind was a blank as I watched her help him up and hugging him...and he was just smiling.

"We're not a couple. We're not a couple. We're not a couple." .I had to keep repeating inside my head. I sat in the front seat with Brick, holding Fang, Scholar Utonium was foaming at the mouth again about how I summoned that Damn Bird, but I was in no mood...not only was I stuck in these damn shorts...which are as short as the skirt...I had another transformation, all the others did. It was called Overdrive, mines was Earth. It was cool...problem with mines was I had no control over it, I couldn't even transform back until it timed out, and the Professor never explained why or how. Last time, I was stuck like this for a week...a whole week and what made things worse, I can't fly in this form. Sure I was stronger, and if I concentrate hard enough move stones or boulders...what was ok was that whenever I walked...I could kinda see through my feet just like those Horses. It saved my lots of times from ambushes.

Utonium was in my ears, talking again, " Ok...It's odd, you seemed to generate even more life energy...Did you not see how you were able to channel the energy from the landscape and into the Dalmascan Roc's attack. And look..."

As the Sun finally set, the Horses automatically ignited themselves, giving us light. There was small green lights...like fireflies glowing in the desert, coming from the sand. It was an amazing sight but it still didn't cheer me up much. I still held the handle of my hammer, sighing. Blossom pushed Utonium down and leaned over.

"Laxus, aren't we gonna stop for the night?" Blossom asked.

"No! We have to continue, he have to save Blitz. So just sit back." Brick sighed, "What's wrong with you, anyways?"

"It's kinda stupid...but that Bird thing broke my hammer...I've had this hammer since...since I got my powers, in fact it was the first thing in my hands when I first got them. And now it's broke."

"That's not stupid at all. I bet it holds a ton of memories...and now it's like those memories are shattered...Let me tell ya..my Fire Loop Daggers, my Uncle Iroh gave them to me on my fifth birthday, my old man was furious with him...a weapon for a little boy. These daggers...reminded me of the last happy day with my old man...but always of my Uncle Iroh, Blitz and a few unhappy memories of Angela, like how we met."

"Brick!" She smacked him on the back of the head.

"Shut it, I'm telling it like it is...But, the thing to remember is here," He flicked my forehead, "That's where your memories really are, not the hammer. But it is like losing an old friend."

"Maybe telling me another story will cheer me up." I hinted, I really could use a distraction.

He sighed, "Seriously?"

Sam climbed over to sit beside me, she wanted to sit on my lap, but Fang wasn't having that, he let her know too, "I wanna hear story too."

"Looks like you have an audience, continue your story or Fang here will bite your nose everynight, like he does to Butch," I looked back to see Butch still talking, smiling, and laughing with Dusk, I couldn't make him smile like that...That asshole, I could kill him. I'm really pissed now, "Just tell the story."

"Yeah, tell the damn story!" Sam yelled, both Brick and I just looked at her, "Bow Lady taught me a new word, BB."

"Blossom, "I pulled her by the ponytail, "I just got her to stop saying the...the F word..DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG THAT TOOK!"

"Ow...It was an accident! I didn't even see her standing right there! Bricky...just tell something before this Bitch tears my roots!

"Who are you calling a BITCH!" I pulled tighter, "I could pull your skull clean off your neck!"

"I don't know, two cute ladies fighting...why would I stop that?" Brick sighed, breaking us apart, "Ok...where was I...after our dad wanted us to have fun I guess."

Flashback (Brick's POV)

"What are you plotting old man?" I crossed my arms and Dad just laughed.

"Go on Boys, have some fun...huh? I was so wrapped up in the Prophecies, that I forgot...you only get to be a child once...plus the Ambassadors were quite impress by the Princes' abilities, especially the Beast Kin. " My Dad laughed, just as we walked out my Dad stopped us," Why don't I get a hug, from my Princ- from my sons." He grabbed us in a bear hug, he even pulled Blitz in.

"I wanted to say, that I've never been more proud of you since the day you four...I should say five have been born. I want to say...that it has been nothing but a marvelous adventure," My Dad smiled, and I could see a tear escape from his face, he pushed us along except me, he held me back, "Laxus, I'm proud of you for sticking up for your cousin like that."

"Sorry about the stupid chandelier." I crossed my arms, I noticed Xaldin and Beast looking sad, they knew something. I had the feeling that...something was gonna happen, I was had no idea the end of the Light.

He just hugged me again, tighter than ever, "Oh my son...I want you to keep watch over your brothers and your cousin...always...you're a natural born leader, such passion and courage, always willing to stick up for those being bullied. You'll make a great King one day. Now go along to the party." He pushed me out of the room, shutting the door but I cracked it open.

Uncle Iroh spoke, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes...I want you to take him just in case, the Sages gave me another prophecy...I fear...Darkness is coming...I should have done something, I should have stopped him...the moment he wished the young ones harm...

"Roland, brother, you couldn't see this coming."

"But the minute he attacked the Dark Villages of Lunara...I should have known...they have been nearly wiped off the map...He came back smiling, proud of the innocent blood he slaugther...One of them was the twin brother of Countess Iris...she had that illemgiate child with the bow...I knew him since we were boys. I heard...he even had a little girl himself...she had the hat right...that adorable one, clapping and giggling." He sighed. Did you not see it, the bandage over her right side of her face. Vulcan did that, he tried to kill her."

"That wasn't your fault either."

"But it is, don't you see...don't you see it is? I should have done something...now my time is running out. I shall face my punishment..by his hand...but not my sons and not yours either."

"My King?"

"But back to Laxus, Iroh...You should take Blitz with you as well...to the Kingdom of Cynder...the others have been arranged, Bardock will take Xaldin, Lord Chang with take Ren Ling, and the Scholar Utonium will take Sebastian to the lands of Tundra, there is a friend there...who I know will watch over him. But I couldn't find anyone else to take Laxus, he won't just leave with anyone. Please Iroh...this is painful enough, but as long as I know that they're safe...it helps...it helps."
