Storm's Pov

We saw Nashi's family. They looked as if they were ready to collapse at any given moment. "Hey Storm. Ivy." Igneel told us nonchalantly, but exhausted, waving carelessly, then tried to get up.

"Tch! Idiot!" Ivy muttered. "You guys are injured."

"Your sister has been worried about you guys the whole time, you know." I informed.

"Where is she?" Lucy butted in.

"I'm guessing with one of the others." I told them. It was then that the room started shaking, and we ended up in a walkway between two barriers.


"Nashi" The three screamed. Nashi looked towards them and yelled something back.

"Will you three relax?" Gajeel grumbled. "She's can take care of herself."

As if on cue, the man made spikes come out of the ground, Nashi jumped, and shot a "Ice Dragon's Roar" at him, sending him flying into the wall of runes. Natsu and Lucy froze, while Igneel was cheering her on. "She knows magic?" Natsu asked finally.

"So, reunion reactions later?" Romeo suggested, and a few of the adults nodded.

Happy however, had tackled the three when they appeared. "She can use magic?" Natsu asked again when she used "Ice Dragon's Iron Fist".

"Um... She's always been able to. We were both born with magic, Dad." Igneel answered.

"That's awesome!" Natsu cheered.

Jay's Pov

"What are you doing?" I asked Skylar. She didn't answer me. Everything continued to shake and I could easily make out the yells of our friends.

I could hear them looking between the two fights, all of them. They want to know what's going on with her.

Once the shaking stopped, she looked tired and sweat was visible. She re-quipped yet again into a necklace with dark brown and gray jewels in it. "Rock Dome!" She yelled.

The spell did exactly what it sounded like. I was trapped in a half sphere of rocks. I used "Earth Dragon's Iron Fist" to break it, then I picked up a piece of rocks and started chewing on it. "Earth Dragon Roar!" The attack hit, and because of how weak she was now, she was sent flying into the runes. Once she hit the ground, the runes disappeared and the building started shaking yet again, but this time, the building was falling apart, but somehow we were teleported to the bottom of the tower.

Nash and Alex were no longer in the runes, but I think everyone realized that it was her fight. They were moving towards the seaside, close to falling off. After seeing something at their feet, I had a plan.

Nashi's Pov

The building crumbled to the ground and disappearing, so that girl was probably the one who was preventing that.

Alex and I continued our fight, attacks being exchanged, but not much was happening. "I see your friends managed to free your family. How's it feel not to be the one to save them?" He taunted.

"I don't care. Pretty soon, they're going to be safe for the first time in fifteen years." I managed to gasp out in between attacks. I was at a dangerously low amount of magic power. "I can't keep this up much longer..." I thought.

"Wouldn't it be a shame if I took your friends too this time? Once you're defeated? This time I won't let them sit in a cell like that. They'd be alone, in a cramped cell, and they'll be tortured."

"Don't you touch them..." I growled. I could feel something building, the anger I felt trying to unlock something. I didn't know what it was, all I knew was that I only needed a little more magic power and whatever it was, I would be able to use it. The ground was frosting over around me. Right when I realized, something had knocked me off the ledge and down the several feet (Two meters) to the ocean surface. It froze before impact, just like that day on the river three years ago. I knew it was Jay's idea. The ice is my turf. Luckily, Alex wasn't looking to see a metal rod return to a red-eyed fourteen year old girl.

Alex jumped down, sliding around on the ice a little. "What are you doing down here? Afraid they'll see you lose? Don't want them to know when their being sent back to one of my prison cells?" He taunted again. Big mistake.

I had reached my boiling point. I'm not usually the type of person who's angered easily, but this guy was threatening my family. "My family isn't just my parents and my brother, but all of Fairy Tail. Blood related or not, these people are my family and I am not about to let this man hurt them." I thought to myself. As I thought this declaration, something happened. It had only been a few seconds since Alex had made that threat when he took a single step, and I snapped.

I suddenly felt a surge of power running through my veins. I could feel my already sharper-than-normal canines lengthening, and my nails lengthened also, become claws. A gust of wind blew some of my hair into my vision, and instead of the usual pink color, it was an icy blue. I looked down at my hands. From what I could see, I had formed scales made of ice. A very strong ice. Only one thing could come to my mind.

Dragon Force.

"Ice Dragon's Claw." I said nonchalantly. Alex stumbled backwards, blood dripping onto the ice we were standing on.

"Earth Spikes." He cast. I jumped out of the way, landing behind him.

"Ice Dragon's Wing Attack." Ice fragments spiraled out around me, hitting him, causing him to collapse.

All the anger I had previously felt disappeared without a trace, along with Dragon Force. My exhaustion and low magic power hit me like a ton of bricks. Not being able to hold my own weight anymore, I collapsed onto the icy ground, listening to the sound of my friends and family rushing to the edge of the cliff. I tilted my head back so I could see them all. They looked upside down, but there they were, most of them worried, others had on a poker face, but their eyes all said the same thing.

"Yay~!" I cheered tiredly, weakly punching towards the sky. "We win~! Let's leave." I smiled widely, several others smiling as well. The magic council was called to take care of Alex and Skylar while we headed home. Back to Fairy Tail.


That literally what I'm like at all social gatherings.
