"Solidaster, you pathetic fool, how could you lose to them so quickly?" a narrator like voice echoed through the circus tent. A hush fell over the group, they all turned to see Mandrake, as he came out of the shadows clapping. "Well done, Fairy Tail. You've given me quite the show. That is what the circus is all about, isn't it? Entertaining the audience. Well, you've certainly done that"

Mandrake threw his head back and laughed. He turned to face them, "Look at all of you, so determined! It's almost as if you expect to defeat me"

"We will" Eleanor said confidently. Her brother nodded in agreement.

"And I'm gonna kick your ass for giving me such a stupid name!" Alala had to be held back by several people.

"I gave you a stupid name because you deserved it, Alalyloo" Mandrake said simply.

"THAT'S IT!" Alala broke free and immediately attacked with a sound wave. Mandrake cracked his knuckles, then pointed a finger at the oncoming sound waves, a ball of transparent energy appeared, and instantly let out a shrill sound. The sound waves disappeared instantly.

Alala's eyes widened in shock.

"What's wrong, girl? Did my magic cancel out yours?" Mandrake grinned evilly.

"Iron dragon's sword!" Ferrodum swung his now bladed arm at the grey man, who simply grabbed it.

"You exist? I didn't even bother to remember you" Mandrake threw the boy to the side, then caught him in a ball of the same transparent energy. His hand was spread out, controlling the larger ball.

"Screeching walls" Mandrake said as he closed his hand into a fist. Ferrodum tried to speak, then he stopped. He heard a violent scream that pierced his ears, his eyes flew wide and he instantly fell back.

"That child is a dragon slayer's son? He certainly doesn't behave like one" Mandrake muttered.

"Stop rhyming old man!" Rhias shouted. The group sweatdropped.

"Are you next?" Mandrake said, he opened his hand, then flew towards Rhias. He grabbed her by the shoulder, pulling her away from her friends, then trapped her in another energy orb. He lifted her high into the air, where no one could reach.

"Shrill seeker" Mandrake murmured. In the orb, a little creature formed. It walked all around Rhias, inspecting her body. Rhias laughed as it did so, then she stopped.

She realized that it had illuminated parts of her body. The light grew brighter, then exploded into shrill pain all over Rhias's weak points.

"Rhias-Chan!" Mary Jane and Fleur cried, looking back. Their heads whipped about, and they faced Mandrake angrily.

"Dark e'criture!" Mary Jane pulled out her sword, and began to write in the air surrounding her body, "Wings!" dark energy gathered, and made wings that she took off into the air with.

"Fairy wings!" Fleur grew golden wings, and flew besides Mary Jane.

"Dark e'criture, meteors!"

"Fairy Machine gun, Leprechaun!"

A shower of black and gold rained onto Mandrake, dust billowed up, and prevented the two from seeing the damage they caused.

"Damn" Mandrake looked slightly battered, he gripped his arm. The two saw this and high fived, proud that they caused some damage.

"His weakness" Sonata choked out, she lifted her head from the ground. "His weakness is special attacks! He needs to touch you in order to harm you!" she fell instantly. Orchidium caught her head then placed it gently onto the floor.

"Damned child! How dare you!" Mandrake surrounded Sonata in a white aura, then shouted "Shrill seeker!"

The little creature snickered, then ran faster across Sonata's body. The siren struggled against it, but she could not find a way of breaking free. The weak points illuminated, then blew up. Sonata crashed into the ground.

"Sonata!" Eleanor shouted.

"Hmm? Neko girl? Would you like the same? Or would you like something new?" A hint of insanity sparkled in Mandrake's eyes.

"Like hell you'll hurt my sister!" Striker shouted. He leapt, and went into his lion form. He ran towards Mandrake with blinding speed.

"No brother! You cannot attack him with physical moves!" Eleanor cried.

"I don't care!" Striker swiped at the grey man, his claws enveloped in dark energy. Mandrake avoided each hit, then grabbed the lion by his front paws. He struck him with a white aura.

Striker fell back into darkness.

"Striker! Get up! Please!"

"Oni-Chan!"

Wow, I torture Sonata way too much. I need to stop, or else she'll become a gimp sue. Don't know what a gimp sue is? It's basically a mary sue with a bad disfigurement or scar that they only use to get sympathy out of the main characters. And Mandrake has shrill sound magic, you mad Cobra? And OMG what did I do to Striker? I did a bad thing! I did a bad thing! I'm so sorry! I contemplated not ending it here, but then I realized I can make character development in the next chapter! So, despite how short it is, and how I kinda just threw in the FT kids randomly (bad on my part) I hope you enjoyed this chapter somewhat! I now plan to eat food and watch random YouTube videos after all the work I did, so lemme alone! Bye my Sketchlings!
