"The Team for The Grand Magical Games will be Sting Eucliffe, Rouge Cheney, Orga Nanagear, Ebony Erawen and Blake Erawen with Minerva in reserve." The Guild Master announced to the silent Guild, all stood at attention as they watched him with emotionless eyes.
There was no celebration to be picked, despite this great honour, to be picked for this was almost the guild Master admitting that these were the most powerful six mages in the whole Guild. Yet no one made a noise, and waited to be dismissed, waiting for him to leave before they even made a noise.
"Ebony and Blake, you haven't been with us long, but Orga assures me you two are very powerful, do not disappoint." Jiemma said; his eyes trained on the two God Slayers. "He said you two took down an Old God, with little effort, perhaps one day I'll be able to see you do this feat with my own two eyes. For now, I will settle watching you two take down every opponent put before you. Dismissed." Then he left, everybody counting to ten before the dared speak.
Ebony cracked her knuckles loudly, breaking the silence at seven seconds, getting many people turning around and looking at her with horrified eyes. It was like she didn't respect the Guild Master, like she wanted to over throw his authority.
Blake sneezed at nine seconds, earning dirty looks; did he want to get the guild in trouble? Jiemma would shout and bawl at them for any reason, it was like he was looking for one, and here were the two newest members, just handing him reasons on a silver platter.
For the last second, they waited with bated breath; before letting out a sigh of relief, the Guild Master hadn't heard the twins, and now they could speak, congratulate the six who had been picked.
"So am I supposed to be honoured or what?" Ebony asked.
"That's the idea." Sting said with a nod. "Usually it's me, Rouge, Orga, Rufus and Yukino but clearly Jiemma wanted a team full of slayers. We could call ourselves The Slayers, or Team Slayer." "They sound ridiculous." Rouge said, as blunt as always.
"I'll stick with Team Sabertooth, I don't want the boss man to think we broke off just to create a guild Purely for slayers." Ebony said.
"A guild just for slayers, huh?" Blake murmured to the air. "It wouldn't be that bad..."
Orga put, well forcefully slammed his hand onto the twin God Slayers shoulders and chuckled. "So who's going to be number one in Team Sabertooth?"
The Fairy Tail Guild, possibly for the first time in its existence, was silent. The anticipation killing them, they waited for Gildarts or Makarov to speak, watching with eager eyes and bated breath.
"We've been allowed to have two teams." Gildarts finally said.
"Team Fairy Tail A and Team Fairy Tail B." Makarov said, a slight smirk on his face as he listened to the shocked but excited whispers of the guild.
"Team A will be Team Natsu, and Elfman." Gildarts said, looking at Natsu's eyes light up, and high five Gray, hugging Lucy, avoiding being punched in the shoulder by Erza, saluting Elfman and ruffling Wendy's hair. "Wendy will be the reserve."
"Team B will be Laxus, Gajeel, Mira, Juvia, Mystogan and Cana in reserve." Makarov said, a smirk now plastered on his face as he looked at Erza, who knew what she meant, her eyes wide open, but she remained silent.
"You may now do whatever you kids do." Gildarts said as he turned back to his paperwork with a sigh.
"Lucy!" Natsu shouted, almost jumping into his best friends arms. "We're going to kick ass and win this! Nobody can stop us!"
Lucy laughed gently, removing herself from his arms and nodded. "We'll do our best, I'm only as strong as my keys, and my keys are only as strong as I am."
"Blondie... If all else fails, just Lucy kick your opponents, they're strong enough to damage Natsu's thick skull." Laxus said, leaning, awkwardly, on her shoulder.
Natsu pouted. "If I didn't know better I'd say it was a magic attack all on its own."
"Who knows, maybe Lucy incorporates some magic when she goes to kick you." Gray said with a smirk as Natsu's eyes widened in horror, before he turned to Lucy with pleading eyes.
"You wouldn't, would you Luce?"
"Well..." Lucy began with a half smirk. "You can get a little annoying at times."
"Luce!" Natsu shouted in shock, and then walked away, going to go sulk in a corner on the guild.
Ebony sat, alone, outside on the barren cold ground, her eyes were closed as she leant against the walls of Sabertooth. Her mind was at peace. She couldn't sense anything, no animals, no life it was just silent.
Then it hit her, like a brick in the face. The howls of an animal in pain, the pain running through her body, attacking every sense as it somehow connected to her. She bit her lip, attempting not to scream out in pain as she stumbled to her feet, blindly staggering to the animal in pain.
She fell to her knees beside it, the pain too much as tears split from her eyes, she held out a hand, and pulled whatever it was to her body, holding it close as she let the shadows envelop them. And then everything went black.
Perhaps it was moments, minutes, hours or maybe even days when she was pulled towards the light, something shaking her, something shouting at her to wake up, something else holding her hand, and something stroking her forehead.
Like a dead person coming back to life, she took a deep breath, and her eyes opened, it was blurry at first. Far too bright, and then everything came into focus.
Orga held her shoulders tightly, the look of relief evident on his face.
Blake was on his knees next to her, his cheeks wet, his voice horse.
Rouge held her hand watching her with emotionless eyes.
Sting moved a piece of her hair out of her face as he watched her, concerned.
"You fell from the shadows." Rouge said bluntly.
"You weren't breathing." Blake murmured.
"Your heartbeat was weak." Orga added.
"The baby wolf you had pressed to your chest when Rouge found you is fine, he's at the bottom of the bed." Sting said softly.
Ebony struggled to a sitting position, pushing away all hands that tried to help her, before black eyes met her green ones.
The cub watched her with interest, its head tilted to the side. Its fur was as white as snow, but its eyes could have been one with the shadows. Gingerly, it walked up the bed, over her legs covered by a blanket, before it stopped right in front of her, and licked her cheek.
"What happened to you?" Ebony murmured, examining its body, there were no marks, it wasn't physically hurt.
"I sense a presence of an old God on it." Orga said. "I think perhaps an Old God tried to take it over to spy on us, but it must have fought viciously, as it's not possessed."
"Friend..." The little wolf murmured into Ebony's mind, shocking her. Animals didn't speak to her; she didn't posses that sort of magic. She could sense how they were feeling, see through their eyes, look at their memories, but never speak to them.
"I am a friend..." Ebony whispered, lifting her hand slowly, before gently stroking the little cub's soft fur.
"Safe?" It asked, looking at her with pleading eyes, she knew it wanted to know if it would feel any more pain, have to suffer through the Old Gods clawing at its mind again but she nodded, promising to herself, it this animal, this wolf, was strong enough to fend off an attack from an Old God, she would protect it.
"The Wolf was emitting a harsh pain from it; it struck me like a train. It got worse as I approached it, but I couldn't ignore it. This wolf has magical potential, or the Old God wouldn't have been able to access its mind and it wouldn't be able to speak to me. This... worries me." Ebony said.
"Does it have a name?" Lector asked, flying onto the bed.
"Istas..." The wolf whispered into her mind.
"Istas... it means snow..." Ebony said with a small smile. "I think I'll keep her."
Istas seemed content, happy, and curled up, drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
"What are you going to tell Jiemma?" Sting asked.
"My God is Artemis... and Erebus..." Ebony offered with a shrug. "Artemis loves all wildlife, it seems fitting I would own a wild animal, such as a wolf."
"Where does it stand on the scale of your brother to an exceed?" Lector asked.
"Which one's the highest?" Blake asked.
"Not you." Ebony replied.
So I hope you guys enjoyed.
Do you guys want to see a specific fight? Or do you want me to do Random Fights? So I follow the GGM, sort of, but every so often have a random fight, like say they have some thing that decides a random fight, so like I was thinking a 2 vs 1, Fairy Tail vs Sabertooth, Natsu and Erza vs Ebony.
