"I told you I won't let you get into the cave!" Racer shouted as he disappeared from sight, but reappeared when he was shot by a magic arrow onto his torso and was sent flying a few metres away as he landed on his back. He winced in pain as he groggily stood up, holding his stomach with his right hand. Looking at Uryu, he widen his eyes as he saw him wielding a spider-web shaped bow made of Eternano on his right hand.
Uryu just smirked as he said, "Now, lets see who's the faster mage. Racer or Quincy?"
...
Natsu, Gray and Lucy were standing with their backs facing each other while Happy was flying as they glare calmly at the Naked Mummy mages who were surrounding them with magical guns in their hands, loaded and ready to fire, magical swords and bats.
"Now, why don't we show them how scary we, Naked Mummy, can be, Zatou-niisan?" Gatou said.
"Yo-hoo! Let's get them, like real quick, Gatou-niisan!" Zatou replied.
"Yes, now, why don't we show them how scary we, Naked Mummy, can be, Zatou-niisan?" Gatou said again.
"You said that already, Gatou-niisan." Zatou stated.
"Did I, Zatou-niisan?" Gatou asked, "Then now, why don't we show them how sc-"
"Get them, you lugs!" Zatou ordered out loud, interrupting Gatou.
And with that, the whole guild charged at the Fairy Tail mages while screaming their battle cries loudly, but Team Natsu minus Erza wasn't fazed.
"We sure got a earful of their brain-dead brother banter." Natsu said with a smirk, but slighty amused.
"Sounds like they're both the older brother though," Gray smirked back with his eyes closed.
"Even dark guilds are idiots," Lucy sighed with a amused tone.
Two of the dark mages then charged their magic guns to fire, but before they could fire it, Natsu's arms were ablaze as he swings his arms in a wide arc.
"Fire Dragon's Wing Attack!" Natsu shouted as the as the stream of fire from his arms hit a number of mages in an instant, blowing them away and incapacitating them in an instant. Unbeknownst to him, a dark mage ran towards him with a sword as he prepares to strike, but Gray grabs him in the face. Freezing his face with ice, Gray shouted a battle cry as he charged at a group of dark mags with the unlucky mage on his hands. Close enough, he throws him down towards the group, freezing the ice beneath them with spikes, making them scream in pain.
Natsu then jumped high up in the air as he enveloped his hands with, fire then joins them, creating a unique, large ball of flame as a result. With a cry of "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!", he throws the very large fireball at another enemy group, blowing them away in smithereens. Gray then put his fist and hands in a usual attacking stance as he charged up his attack towards another group. He froze the ground in front of him, creating a tower of ice spikes that impaled the enemy or sending them flying.
Another large group charged at a seemingly harmless Lucy as they prepare their weapons to strike. Sensing danger, she took out a golden key from her pouch and shouted, "Gate of the Giant Crab! I open thee! Cancer!". A magic circle appeared and a new figure appeared. His hair is black and braided in red cornrows that end in a shape that resembles crab's pincers. He wears a blue striped shirt and dark trousers with two aquamarine stripes each side, also wearing boots in his feet. In his pants there's a ring chain in the right pocket and a hairdresser tools' bag in the left side of his belt. He wears a golden necklace and holds a scissor in each hand. He also wears sunglasses with green lens and has six crab legs that appear from his back.
"Cancer! Cut their fight short!" Lucy ordered.
"As you wish-ebi." the figure known as Cancer replied.
"You with the weird hairdo!" A dark mage shouted as he charged at him with his sword.
"We'll get you good!" another one said.
Sensing danger, Cancer bypassed them all in a flash. Cutting their hair and weapons in the process, defeating them.
"D-Damn you!" A monkey-like mage yelled in anger as he aim his magic gun at Natsu, who punched an enemy with his fiery fist, sending him flying. "Get a load of my magic shotgun!" As he said that he successfully fires his shotgun, hitting Natsu's exposed back. "I did it...Huh?" His cheers were cut short when he saw his shots were burned off by Natsu, his back were steaming with smoke, chuckling menacingly. "M-Monster!" he shouted as he was punched up high in the air by the dragon slayer.
"They aren't half bad, Zatou-niisan." Gatou remarked.
"Shall we take 'em on together, Gatou-niisan?" Zatou asked.
"They aren't half bad..."
...
Wendy and Charle were walking in the passageway of the cave after being told by Uryu to take cover in the cave and not to do anything until he's back with them. They have been walking for possibly more than 5 minutes now and they still haven't reach the end of the cave. Goodness gracious, how far is this passageway goes? The whole world?!
While Wendy was shivering in fear amid the lack of light in the passageway, Charle's expression were completely stoic, as if like she was fearless. The truth is, she was a little scared of the lack of light in there. She couldn't freak out or Wendy will completely broke down. She had sworn to protect the frail girl.
She was still slightly confused by what Uryu means of 'Wendy playing a important role in this plan'. Of course, she was a Sky Dragon Slayer who could use healing magic that could heal almost any disease, but she was just a little girl, surely she wasn't tha-...wait, healing magic...Does Uryu mean her healing magic is essential to this plan? Ichigo did mention about Oracion Seis wanting to use Wendy to heal someone in a comatose state. Is Uryu gonna ask Wendy to heal that someone that is vital to searching Nirvana? She thought it was a clever tactic, using the enemy's weapon in their favor. If they were in another situation, she would protest the shit out of it, saying that using healing magic will tire out the little girl, but since this is a dark guild they're facing, she could just begrudgingly accept that Wendy will use healing magic, if she have to use it that is.
Her thoughts were cut off when she saw candles lit ahead of them, signalling the end of the cave is near. Grabbing Wendy's hand, she said, "Let's go, the end of the cave in near!" Said girl just nodded meekly as she just let Charle pull her to the end. As they reached the end of the cave, they gasped in shocked at the huge thing before them.
"That's..." Wendy trailed off.
"A coffin..." Charle finished.
It was a huge coffin indeed. The coffin was purple in colour with a distinctive T-shape. From the top, a half-circle spider web was decorated around the sun which was in a semicircle as well. A golden bull shaped like a skull with horns were decorated below the spider-web in the middle of the coffin. Two sets of golden wings were decorated beside the snout of the bull-shaped skull, while a grey trident-like decoration below the bull-shaped skull snout completing the coffin's uniqueness. Around the coffin were chains, while magic locks were on the chains, securing it.
"What should we do now, Charle?" Wendy asked breaking the silence.
After much thinking, Charle said, "We would wait here until Uryu comes along. He would know what to do with the coffin. In the meantime, we would sit here and wait for him to come. Understood?"
Wendy just nodded. And they sat down nearby the coffin, waiting for their Ace of Cait Shelter to come along.
...
At the deepest parts of the Worth Woodsea, it was quiet with the leaves of the trees swaying with the calm winds. The weather was perfect, with no black clouds surrounding the blue skies. The atmosphere was peaceful, with no battles going on whatsoever, you can even held a picnic with completely no interference.
Or so that's what they thought.
There was a slight problem.
It was too quiet.
Nearby a cave, there was a nearly leafless tree. A solitary leaf was hanging on the tree branch. From there, if you can hear clearly, there were sounds of rapid footsteps coming nearer and sounds of swooshing were heard. Because of this, the surrounding air were disturbed, creating a slight breeze. The breeze hit the leaf as it swaying for a while before disconnecting from the tree branch. It slowly falls towards the ground harmlessly, flowing the direction of the breeze.
Then, all hell broke lose.
In an instant, the leaf was sandwiched between two roundhouse kicks. Two figures were locked in combat, glaring at each other while their legs were still connected at each other. As they moved away their legs from each other, the leaf they sandwiched disintegrates into nothingness. (A/N: Think of how Yoruichi and Soi Fon start their fight in Bleach episode 56.)
The two figures leapt away from each other as they landed on the ground. They are Uryu and Racer. Racer was covered in bruises as his clothes were torn in some places. Unlike the Oracion Seis speedster, Uryu was relatively untouched, save for the bruise on his torso, other than his battered clothes, especially his mantle, which was slightly torn while engaging in hand-to-hand combat, making him slightly furious, since he didn't bring a spare along with him. He liked that mantle, it made him looked cool.
Calmly glaring at his opponent, Racer said, "Impressive, I admit you're fast, even managing to land a hit on me a few times. At this rate, my name will mean dirt."
Pushing up his glasses, Uryu said, "Oh, is that so?-" But he wasn't able to finish his statement as Racer disappeared and reappeared behind him, smiling smugly while crossing his arms at his chest, slightly surprising the Quincy, "If I felt like it, it wouldn't be any trouble if I bypass you and kidnap that brat while bringing what's mine to my leader." He then flickered around him, "But I won't feel satisfied until you're history." He then reappeared behind Uryu again, "Because I can't stand the fact that there is someone as fast as me."
Narrowing his eyes at his enemy, Uryu said, "In my pride as a Quincy, I won't let you hurt Wendy!" He then materialize his bow on his left hand and fire several arrows towards Racer, but he managed to dodge all of them. Racer disappeared again and reappeared behind Uryu, aiming a back kick on his chest. Fortunately, Uryu managed to dematerialize his bow and turn around as he crossed his arms in an X-formation at his chest before Racer hit him, sending him flying.
"Those arrows are fast! Fast is good! But I'm faster!" Racer exclaimed as he uses his speed to the air and prepared an axe kick on Uryu's back, but Uryu disappeared from sight and reappeared further away, his bow already materialized and shoot more arrows at him but Racer, as always still managed to dodge them all before reappearing on the ground. As in slow motion, the moment his foot touched the ground, Uryu appeared above him, an arrow ready to shoot, making him widen his eyes under his glasses as he was caught off guard by the speed the Quincy possess. Uryu then shoots his arrow, seemingly hitting the dark mage and creating an explosion. After firing the arrow, Uryu landed on the ground. As the dust clears, Uryu saw a crater on the ground but Racer wasn't in sight. Racer then reappeared behind the crater, slightly dusted by the previous attack.
Scowling angrily at his opponent, Racer gritted his teeth and said, "Tch, damn you!" He then placed his right palm forward and a magic circle appeared "High Side Rush!" he shouted as more than dozens of motorcycle wheels appeared out of nowhere and charged at Uryu. The Quincy jumped up high to avoid getting hit as he aimed his bow at the wheels and fired several arrows, hitting all of the wheels, disintegrating them. With Uryu distracted by the wheels, Racer suddenly appeared behind Uryu and threw a roundhouse kick at his back, slamming Uryu down to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Racer then landed on the ground, putting distance between him and the Quincy.
"Now, that's what I call fast!" Racer said smugly as he watched the dust cloud, "What's wrong, hotshot? Your speed have been getting slower by the sec-ugh!" His ranting were interrupted when he was hit by a powerful shot from behind, sending him spiraling through a few trees before stopping to a halt. As he stood up, he saw Uryu stood further away, his bow materialized and was steaming a little, indicating that previous shot was his doing.
"What the matter?" Uryu said, "You said that fast is good, but you're getting slower. You're not making a good image to your name." That ticked off the Oracion Seis speedster as he growled out, "W-Why you!" he blurred towards Uryu as he threw a left hook at him, but Uryu managed to block. Uryu countered by throwing a roundhouse kick at Racer, but he disappeared before he could hit a reappeared above him. Uryu instantly flash stepped behing him and threw an axe kick but Racer disappeared again and reappeared on the ground. Uryu instantly fired a powerful arrow but Racer managed to disappear before it could hit.
As Racer reappeared a few meters away from his spot, Uryu was already behind him, an arrow ready to fire. Before Racer could move, Uryu fires the powerful arrow as hit him straight on the back, making him gasp in pain and sending him spiraling away a few meters ahead. Without giving Racer time to recover, Uryu flash stepped above him and on air as he pulled back his bow and gathered a large amount of Eternano from his surroundings along his left arm to well beyond his shoulder and shouted, "Licht Regen!" He unleashes a devastating volley of innumerable arrows towards Racer and shouted a battle cry as he continued firing. As the attack finally stopped, Uryu remained on air as he awaits for the dust to clear. As the dust clears, he saw Racer on all fours, but was severely wounded by the pervious attack by Uryu. His clothes were torn to shreds as well.
"Still not down?" Uryu asked, "Its best if you withdraw and give up in this battle. My next attack could be even powerful than that. And you possibly won't survive it."
"No...I can't accept this...I'm fast...faster than anyone...I CAN'T ACCEPT THAT A MERE LIGHT MAGE IS FASTER THAN ME!" he bellowed loudly as a magic circle appeared beneath him, "Gear Change: Red Zone!" he shouted as he suddenly appeared behind Uryu in a surprising burst of speed and threw a barrage of punched and kicks at him, not giving enough time for Uryu to block, "His speed increased even more?! Tch!" he thought as he was slammed down to ground by Racer.
"Now that was my top speed!" Racer said as he landed on the ground, "Now I see you as a threat to me being faster than me! So now I won't hold back to the likes of you!" As the dust clears, he saw Uryu crouched down, his body bruised and his clothes were tattered. "I'm not done yet!" the Quincy shouted as they blurred from sight, resuming their battle.
...
During Uryu's Fight against Racer
Natsu, Gray and Lucy were gasping for air covered in bruises as they finally finished defeating the whole Naked Mummy guild. They weren't expecting such a minor dark guild to have that much fight in them.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Zatou wheezed out, sprawled on the ground after he and Gatou were beaten up by the Fairy Tail mages, "Naked Mummy was beaten by just three wizards...?"
"You've got to be kidding me..." Gatou repeated, also sprawled on the ground unable to move an inch, "Naked Mummy was beaten by just..."
"I've already said that, Gatou-niisan..." Zatou stated to him.
"Natsu, are you okay?" Happy asked walking towards the dragon slayer.
After regaining their breath, Natsu said, "What's with these guys? They weren't small fry at all!"
"Wow, they actually had some fight in them," Gray added.
"Of course they are, they're an entire guild, unlike before at Acalypha Town." Lucy reminded them.
Slightly recovering themselves from their fatigue, Natsu walked over to Zatou and grabbed his shirt collar, bring his face near to him, "Oi, blabber-ape! Where is that shit called Nirvana?!"
"How should I know that shit, baka! Yohohohoho!" Zatou smugly replied, making Natsu furious, earning a headbutt from the dragon slayer, making him instantly unconscious and a steaming forehead.
Natsu then let go of Zatou and walked towards his brother and grabbed his collar as well, with Gray beside him, "Oi, big-ape! Where's Nirvana?!"
Sweatdropping at the scene, Lucy muttered, "You guys are crazy, you know that?"
"Aye, that's Natsu for ya..." Happy replied with a sweatdrop as well.
"Guest...the rest is up to you..." Gatou said, ignoring the dragon slayer's question as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Letting go of the ape-like mage, Natsu asked, "What?"
"Guest?" Gray wondered.
"Hey there, flame-brain! Long time no see!" A voice called out to Natsu above them. The Fairy Tail mages looked up towards the source of the voice and saw a silver-haired man standing on a tree branch crossing his arms and smirking at them, "I really owe you for what you did way back then...you damn flies!"
"Ehhhh?!" Lucy shrieked.
"Impossible!" Gray said with wide eyes.
"Its you!" Natsu glared at him before his expression completely changed to happiness, "Yo, you breezy bastard! Long time indeed! How's it hangin'?"
"We ain't got that kind of relationship, oi!" Erigor said with a sweatdrop.
"Take a hint, sheesh..." Gray reminded him, "That's the guy who is responsible for trying to use the Lullaby to assassinate gramps and the other Masters!"
"Oh, right..." Natsu said, "I seem to recall that I beat the crap out of him."
Still crossing his arms, Erigor jumped off from the tree branch and use his Wind Magic to float midair, "I wandered as a free agent through the guild associated with Oracion Seis...waiting for this day...the day I get revenge on you flies! The day the Shinigami is reborn once again!"
"A revenge match with a Shinigami impersonator? Sounds interesting." Gray said.
"The real Shinigami is already in our guild so to speak," Natsu said, as he punched his fist in his palm, "I'm all fired up!"
"Eh? You guys still wanna fight?!" Lucy exclaimed.
Happy just put his hand on his hipa as he said, "Don't worry, Natsu will defeat Erigor like last time!"
...
Somewhere in the woods, a group of Black unicorn mages surrounded Hibiki as they prepare to attack the Blue Pegasus mage.
Placing his palm ahead in which it glows golden in colour, Hibiki shouted "Archive: Force Blast!" Magical screens appeared around them and forcefully explode immediately, throwing his enemies up high in the air as they screamed in pain.
Another group charged towards Ren with their weapons such as swords, clubs and sticks high up in the air, ready to pounce at the black-skinned mage. Calmly place his palm in front of him, he shout "Air Magic: Aerial!" A bright blue magic circle appeared and a transparent dome appeared around the group making them unable to breathe.
"I can't breathe!" One of the mages wheezed out in the dome.
"My eyes are getting cloudy!" another one said.
"My ears are ringing!"
"I lowered the oxygen content in the air around you." Ren stated, "You should no longer be able to stand."
At the same time, Eve was surrounded by another group of Black Unicorn mages.
"What's with this kid?"
"He got such a cute face!"
"Let's play with 'im!"
After hearing all that, Eve's face twisted into a uncharacteristic devilish grin, "Trying to make me angry?" The dark mages ignored his question and jumped up high to pounce at their prey. Suddenly, a large snowstorm appeared, freezing them all. "Snow Magic: Whiteout!" he shouted, extending his arm ahead, "I'll steal your visibility and freeze your body!" the snowstorm stopped and the whole area was covered in snow, with the dark mages buried inside.
"Still want to play?" Eve asked.
"S-S-S-S-Strong..."
"P-P-Please...e-excuse u-us"
...
All the remaining Red Hood mages were drawing on a magic pad as they surrounded the Lamia Scale mages, who had defeated most of the dark mages.
"Damn you, Lamia Scale," one of them said calmly, but the tone of disgust was evident in his voice.
"We'll show you a thing or two," another one added.
"What?" Lyon asked dumbfounded.
"What are they trying to do?" Sherry wondered out loud.
"Are they using Pict Magic?" Jura said.
"Unison Pict!" All the Red Hood mages shouted at once and several magic circles appeared. As the dust clears, hundreds of pink-coloured squirrel-like creatures with maroon polka dots on their bodies and a leaf-shaped pattern on their stomachs appeared seemingly harmless. Some of them even holding axes.
"G-Goblins?!" Lyon said.
"Ara, they're so cute!" Sherry said in awe.
"Don't let your guard down!" Jura warned, "They're..." he trailed off as the cute-looking goblins curled themselves into a ball and ricochet at them, makinh them raising their arms up, shielding themselves. Recomposing himself, Lyon do a battle stance as he freeze some of the goblins. He shouted, "Kick their butts, Sherry!"
"Wood Doll!" Sherry shouted as she created a large wood doll and crush some of the goblins. The goblins pouted cutely and groaned in pain with big lumps on their heads after they were beaten up.
"I kind of feel bad about them now..." Sherry muttered in pity to the goblins.
"I told you not to let your guard down!" Jura said.
"Yes, that perfect..." a Red Hood mage said as he drew on his magic pad along with two other mages.
"While they were distracted by our cute little goblins..." another said as he finished drawing. The three placed their pads forward as three magic circles appear "Unison Pict!" they shouted. As the dust clears, a large creature with wings with green colored scales and orange spikes on his upper body appeared. The creature is somehow reminiscent of a small dragon.
"A wyvern?!" Lyon said with wide eyes.
"They can even make something like that?!" Sherry added.
"That is some skillful sketching!" Jura complimented.
"Go, wyvern!" a dark mage said.
"Crush the official guild!" another one said.
The Lamia Scale mages could do nothing but run as the wyvern chased them, bringing along the goblins with them.
"This is annoying!" Jura stated as they ran.
"Jura-san!" Lyon and Sherry called out together. Jura then stopped running as he turned around to face the wyvern and pushed his palms fowards. He then shouted, "Rockiron Spikes!" Several earth spikes erupted out of the ground and impaled the wyvern.
"Lyon! Sherry!" Jura called out.
"Ice Make..."
"Ninyougeki..."
"Snow Tiger!"
"Rock Doll!" Both of them shouted as they land blows on the wyvern with their respective magics. After getting hit, the wyvern fly up high and charged down at the mages, but Jura had other ideas, he clapped his hands in a praying motion and shouted, "Invocation! Rockiron Powder Explosion!" Five long earth spikes erupted from the ground and impale the wyvern from all sides. A moment later, the creature vanished, along with the cute-looking goblins, startling Lyon and Sherry.
The dark mages panicked and breaking in cold sweat as one of them said, "S-So much for our wyvern!"
"Does it even matter what we do next?!" the other added.
Jura just gave them a dark look as he said, "Even though they be fake, I cannot admire those that use living thing so thoughtlessly..." he left the statement hung in the air as the dark mages screamed in pain from the beating they get from the Wizard Saint.
...
To which Ichigo and Erza, their backs at each other with Ichigo holding a double grip on Zangetsu and Erza wielding two swords wearing her Heart Kruez Armor while surrounded by the dark guild called Hollow Night, all of them wielding a sword, heard an explosion and noticed the large mushroom-shaped dust cloud that was created by Jura. The Shinigami smirked upon recognizing the magic signature over there.
(A/N: Play Number One's One Else) "Now that Jura-san is having fun over there, I can't get outdone by him can I?" He said cheekily as he placed his left hand on his right arm and pointed his sword forward and shouted, "Bankai!" a tower of black reiatsu with a red outline suddenly engulfed him, kicking up a large dust cloud. The dark mages suddenly kneeled down and gasping for breath while Erza was trying not to get affected by the incredible weight that was on her shoulders pushing her down. The tower of reiatsu stopped and Ichigo swiped down his long daito, dispersing the dust cloud in his bankai form, "Tensa Zangetsu."
Standing upright and recovering from the intense pressure, one of them shouted, "Your swords shrank?! That means you're weaker now! Let's go guys!" And on cue, one group charged towards the two sword users. Ichigo just grinned as he suddenly blurred from sight and slashed all of them in one second, instantly incapacitating them. He reappeared at his original spot, smirking. "There's a reason why I was also given the nickname as Fairy Tail's Kuroi Senko (Black Flash), y'know?" The others shivered in fear as he realized he wasn't joking. Ichigo then turned to Erza, "Your turn now, Erza."
"You don't have to remind me," she smirked as she glowed in a bright light, "Requip!" she shouted as the bright light dimmed as she was in her steel angelic armor, "Heaven's Wheel Armor! Dance, my blades!" She requips several swords and has them circle around her as she levitated herself from the ground.
The remaining mages suddenly screamed out in fear as some of them took a few steps back and said, "Fuck Oracion Seis, I'm running away!" or "I'm dead meat!". The swords around her then begin spinning rapidly as she shouted, "You're not running away!" She sends the spinning swords towards the group in a disc formation as she shouted "Circle Sword!" the attack hit them all, instantly incapacitating them.
Ichigo just stood there smirking as he reverted back to his shikai state, placing back Zangetsu on his back while Erza requipped back to her Heart Kruez Armor as he told her, "Remind me not to piss you off next time."
Erza just smirked back and said, "Likewise." (A/N: End Song)
...
Back to Uryu vs Racer
Now battling each other on air, Uryu was firing a lot of arrows while he was using Hirenkyaku to fire at all directions towards Racer, but with his increased speed after his gear change, he couldn't land a shot on him. He was panting a lot now, since he used Hirenkyaku and shot numerous arrows at the same time in this battle. It was taking its toll on his stamina. In contrast, Racer, despite his bruises and wounds, since his gear change, he wasn't even feeling tired.
"Your arrows are fast, but don't you understand you can't hit me after my gear change?!" Racer stated as he avoided all the arrows and they hit the ground harmlessly. He then appeared behind Uryu and hit him with a barrage of punches and kicks, "Hey, what wrong?! You think now you can stop me with a barrage of arrows, huh?!" he finished his barrage with an axe kick to his back, sending the Quincy crashing down on the hard ground on his back.
Racer then appeared in front of him and said, "Earlier you ask me, who is the faster mage, you or me?" He then reached out his right hand to his side and took an active Seele Schneider, which Uryu used it to take a shot at him earlier, at pointed it at his throat "Well, its clear now that who's the victor." Uryu just gritted his teeth as he looked over his shoulder. He widen his eyes as he saw three birds flying upwards at surprisingly fast speeds a few miles further away. He then took notice of another bird perching on a tree branch at the corner of his eye. Moments later, he watched the bird flew away with its normal speed. He mentally smirked as he thought, "So that's how..."
"As long as I have the speed, I can get you first, before you had the chance you use your magic," Racer said, interrupting his thoughts, "You were impressive, keeping up with my speed while firing your arrows at the same time, but its taking its toll on you, right? I could see the strain on your face." A shadow loomed over Uryu's face as he remained quiet, " I'm one of the Oracion Seis. Six Generals. Six Prayers. Six Pillars that will never crumble. Only death awaits those who rock the pillars."
Uryu remained passive before smirking, to the confusion of the Oracion Seis speedster, "What are you smiling at?" he asked.
"I figured it out," Uryu simply replied, making Racer raised an eyebrow, "When I saw the birds flying by so fast in the sky further away, and another bird flying normally nearby, I figured out how your magic works." This makes Racer gulp and sweat slightly, he continued, "Your magic didn't increase your speed. Or more accurately, it slows down the sense of time in a certain area. In other words, you slow me down." Racer was gritting his teeth now, but Uryu continued smirking as he continued, "And since the magic only affects a certain area, when someone sees you from outside that range..." he left that sentence hanging as he suddenly disappeared in a burst of Hirenkyaku, making Racer gasped in surprise, and reappeared further away at a far away cliff, his bow already materialized and ready to fire, (A/N: Play Mahoukyou No Tabibito) "They can take away your speed!" he shouted loudly for the Oracion Seis to hear him.
"I-Impossible! To figure all that out in such a short time!" Racer bellowed loudly, "At that range, there's no way you could hit!"
"Didn't I tell you that us Quincy only uses arrows and bows as weapons?" Uryu said loudly, "Looks like I didn't. Now let me introduce myself to you." his charged his arrow bigger than previous ones as he shouted loudly, "I am Uryu Ishida! S-class mage of Cait Shelter, also known as White Arrow! In Karakura, even though I'm not as fast as Yoruichi-can and Kurosaki, I was known as Seireitei's Most Accurate Archer!" He pulled his bow further back as he collect more Eternano for his arrow and shouted, "Heilig Pfeil!" and fires his arrow at Racer, who shielded his eyes with his right arm from the bright light the arrow's emitting.
"Its faster than before!" He stated out loud. The light was so bright it broke his sunglasses' lenses, making him gasp. Flashbacks of his past life as a slave of the Tower of Heaven surfaced as he thought, "My prayer...To be faster than anyone...To be faster..." He finished thinking as the arrow finally hit him, instantly making him unconscious as he made a soundless scream. The light emitting from the arrow was getting brighter as it hit him while Uryu was watching the scene with a calm look, a small smile on his face as he deactivated his bow, then pushed up his glasses. (A/N: End song)
He flash stepped towards where Racer is as he stand over him, making sure he was unconscious. After a few moments, he flash stepped towards where Wendy and Charle were hiding, panting at the entrance of the cave. That battle really took it toll on him. "I'm getting soft. Two years of peace made me like this, huh? Kurosaki won't let me hear the end of this if he sees this," he chuckled. Regaining his breath, he entered the cave as he remembered his task at hand.
...
At the Oracion Seis base where Brain and Midnight were currently stationed, Brain was holding his head with his left hand and was sweating hard as he get a massive headache from the defeat of Racer. One of the markings on his head slowly disappear, signalling one of the six mages is defeated.
"Racer...is gone?!" Brain sputtered out with wide eyes as he crouched down, "One corner of the Six Generals has been broken?! Dammit, I underestimated our enemy!" He stood back up and turned around to look at Midnight, who was still sleeping, "I never thought I would have to wake him up..." he slammed the end of his staff to the ground as he called out, "Midnight!" Said person immediately stood up as he slowly opened his eyes, showing his red eyes.
"Awake?" he asked Midnight, earning a grunt from the said mage, he continued with a smirk, "Get rid of every last one of them!"
Midnight just looked at him with a calm look as he answered, "Yes...Father..."
Chapter done! Midnight's awake! What will happen now? R&R!
