Hiya, If you guys read my other story "Trading DragonSlayer's" then you would know that i said I wouldn't be updating that much because I haven't been really motivated to write because I haven't liked the way the Fairy Tail Manga has gone... Then Hiro gives us three chapters of Fairy Tail with Zeref finally appearing and saying he's going to destroy everything... I'm excited, hopefully this gets epic!. And since Hiro was so nice with giving us 7 chapters in 2 weeks I'll hopefully update this story once more and my other one before the next three chapters are out, so thanks Hiro for reviving my spirit! Now here's the next chapter
Dammit, Dammit Dammit! I gotta hurry Natsu thought as he raced along road
"That idiot, I have a bad feeling about this, I hope she's alright because when I find her I'll kick her ass!" He yelled as he continued running, following Iris's scent which was leading into the city ahead
"Sting? What are you doing here?" Lucy asked as a shocked Mira looked on as Sting just shrugged his shoulder
"Nothing much, I just finished a mission here and was kinda bored. So, I decided to come here to see if anything exciting was happening but I guess not. It absolutely dead in here" he laughed as he walked toward them before he stopped and stared at Lucy
"Oi, you're looking good Lucy, what's the occasion?" Sting asked as Lucy blushed at the compliment while Mira had hearts in her eyes
"Oh, you wouldn't believe it Sting. Lucy had a hot date tonight with this super cute guy but he stood her up!" Mira said with a frown while Lucy's face was now full of sadness as she remembered why she was here
Natsu how could you do this to me? After everything I've said and the things we've done this is the outcome? Is this revenge for me rejecting you before? Or do you really not care about my feelings? You said you would always be there for me, so where are you now? Lucy asked in her head before she was snapped back to reality by the voice of the DragonSlayer beside her
"Ehhhhhh, who in their right mind would ditch someone as beautiful as Lucy, that guy must be an idiot!" Sting said in shock. Mira let out a tiny squeal as she covered her mouth to contain her excitement as an idea sparked in her head. Lucy on the other hand was again blushing bright red at the compliment.
He's a nice guy she thought before Mira interrupted her train of thought
"Ohh Sting since you're here, and looking for something to do why don't you take Lucy out?" She asked with a big smile as at that moment both Sting and Lucy were stuttering like idiots at the idea
"WHAT?" Sting asked, eyes wide open
"Mira! What are you saying?"
"Ohh come on Lucy, your ready for a fun time out! I'm not going to let you waste your time mopping around here because of some idiot... An idiot who will feel my wrath when I'm done with him" she whispered the last part as she looked at Lucy with pleading eyes as Lucy didn't look too impressed before Sting spoke up
"Well, if you want I'm kinda hungry and if you want we can go out and get something to eat, if you like" he asked with blush on his face as Lucy looked at him in surprise. He kinda looks cute with that blush she thought as Mira gave her a nudge
"Ohh come on Lucy, look at him just go out and have some food, worst case you get a free meal out of it" she said as Lucy took another look at Sting who avoid eye contact with her as she gave a sigh of defeat
"Alright, fine I'll go, let's go Sting we can go anywhere you like" she said as a massive smile grew on his face
"Really? Wow, this is going to be great! I saw a little cafe that's close by we can go there" he said and before Lucy could answer he grabbed her wrist and dragged her out the guild doors
"I'll have her back home before midnight Mira so don't worry I'll treat her right" he said with excitement as Lucy didn't get a word in as they were gone in flash as Mira wondered how this would go
Ohh Natsu, this is what happens when you do something stupid, you're not going to be very happy when you get back here... and that's after I get through with you. I hope you know what you're doing.
"Answer me, who are you!" Iris yelled as she tried again to attack the man in the black cloak but again missed as he easily dodged her blows with ease, laughing in the process
"You'll never beat me fighting like that, you need more power, show me more power!" he taunted
"Shut-up!" she roared as again she stood face to face with her opponent and again she charged at him taking multiple swings with her daggers in ever direction but missed every time as the man simple shook his head in disappointment
"It's not enough! You're powers not enough and I'll show you how right I am" he said with a smirk as for the first time since his initial attack the man rushed Iris with incredible speed as Iris saw it and prepared to defend. However, unlike his first attack when he swung his sword black flames appeared on it and before Iris could counter he made contact with her daggers, sending her flying out of the alley as her body hit the ground a couple of times before stopping just short of a river that flowed through the city
(Think of the area as being similar to where Lucy's house is, one side has houses on it and the other side is bordered by a river)
As Iris slowly made her way to her feet as the unknown man walked out of the ally with a smile on his face
"I told you, you need to step your game up if you want to beat me" he said as Iris just growled
"How? How can you use that magic?" she scowled. Dammit this is getting bad she thought as the man only shrugged his shoulders
"Such a pity you don't remember me, ohh you better think of something quick or you'll never know" he said with a grin
"Stop treating me like a child dammit! You want power? I'll show you power!" she yelled as her blue flames stormed onto her daggers as the man only laughed harder
"Yes yes, that's what I want to see, good now show what you got" he roared as his sword was also now clad in his black flame
"Now lets see how you handle this Blaze of Darkness" he rasped as a massive black flame came bursting out of his sword as Iris stood confidently in her place
"Blue flame wall" she yelled as a massive blue wall of small round flames came in front of her as the black flames met the blue flame creating a massive explosion leaving only dark smoke floating about
"Crap, maybe I shouldn't have gone that far, but I was getting really excited, ohh well. My dear are you still in one piece" he asked as there was silence before Iris raced out of the smoke with bruises and cuts on her body and started her counter attack
"Is that all you got! I've seen better flames than that. Quick-Stream Burst" she yelled as this time it was her opponent who couldn't react as her dagger's attacked at lightning speed while also releasing small burst of her blue flames as the man in the cloak could only grunt as he barely could block each attack with his own sword, yet each hit kept pushing him back as the tide of the battle seemed to shift for a bit before the man dodged Iris's attack and then stuck his sword into the ground to Iris's surprise
"Black Flame Surge" he yelled as his black flames came blasting up from the ground as Iris tried to avoid them until one hit her arm and immediately she felt the burn as she fell to one knee in pain while the flames stopped and the man smiled
"Amazing, at your age, your skill is beyond anything I would imagine, you will surpass all of us! I couldn't be prouder" he said as Iris was still on one knee huffing and puffing as she realized she was in trouble
Dammit, I'm out matched, but I can't leave till I see his face she thought before the pain in her arm left was replaced with nothing as she looked at her arm in surprise as she realized she couldn't move it as more laughter was heard
"You realized it, my flames don't just burn, they can also paralyse the body part they touch" he said as Iris growled before a thought popped into her head. It was risky she thought but it seemed like the only plan that would work she thought as she tried her best to grip her one blade in her paralysed hand as she got up and to the man's surprise attacked as she rushed him
"Spinning Burst" she yelled as at that moment Iris began to spin like a top with her daggers firmly in both hands as she attacked
"Interesting, rotating so fast I can't even see your blades, well aren't you special" the man said impressed as he was now constantly put into pressure as Iris kept on spinning and the sound of metal hitting metal was the only sound heard through-out the night as there was no room for the man to counter.
The speed Iris was spinning at was unimaginable as the cloaked man could only paying attention to her attacks in fear one would hit but that soon came to an end as Iris's magic began to run out as her speed began to decrease
"Enough of this, your time has run out" he said as he took a slash at Iris hitting her blade and sending her flying back again as she was again on the ground looking up at him barely able to get up
"I think we're done here" he said as Iris just grinned to his surprise
"Not yet" she said as she picked up her good arm and waggled her only dagger in her current possession at him as her other dagger was in mid-air coming toward her attackers head.
Upon realizing her trick the man tried to duck out of the way at the last second and succeeded. However, his hood was caught as the dagger zoomed by ripping of his hood and finally revealing his face as Iris smirked before a look of surprise was etched on her face
The man in front of her couldn't be her brother... he was too old. He looked to be in his thirties but his hair was spiked up and black like her's and his eyes were dark blue like her's as the man just had a massive grin on his face
"You are crafty, I never saw you fling that dagger out toward the river while you were spinning because you were moving too fast for me to see and then to be able to stay in control of it while i sent you flying, you really are my daughter"
"...Daughter" Iris said softly as her eyes were wide as she looked at him
"You can't be, he's dead! They're all dead! You can't be him" she yelled as she tried to stand on her feet as the man sighed
"To bad, because I am your father" he said seriously as Iris was barely able to stand as there was tears in her eyes
"Then why did you leave me! Why was I abandoned" she demand as the man gave her a hard look before he shrugged his shoulders
"We had to, we had no choice. Listen Iris, we were betrayed by the magic council, they condemned anyone working with me and your mom to death" he said coldly as Iris's eyes lit up in surprise
"We were scientist, you've probably figured it out but our magic is unstable, we were researching a way to stop this darkness from taking over but before we could finish we were attacked by the magic council, they said our research was dangerous and so to stop our research from spreading they decided to silence us" he said darkly as he continued
"That's why we left you, thankfully the magic council didn't realize your existence and so you were taken by your mom's sister and raised with their last name Harold to avoid detection"
"So why did you take my brother but not me" she asked in a rage
"He disappeared after you guys so he must be with you, why was I left behind?"
"We don't know where our son is, he never came with us" Iris father said sadly as Iris's anger quickly faded and was instead replaced with sadness as her father's emotion was replaced with anger
"For him, for taking away our family, for ruining our lives we are finally ready to get revenge on the magic council" he said with venom in his voice as Iris eyes grew wide
"What did you.." but Iris was cut off
"We're going to start with a person you know, he was the person who got permission from the council to exterminate us and was the person who was our closest friend... we are going after the Wizard Saint and leader of the Fairy Tail guild Makerov Dreyar and then we are going to exterminate his precious children so he see's how he feels when everything is taken away from someone" he said evilly as he looked at Iris with a devilish smile
"and you have proven yourself capable to me in our battle and so i give you the honor of joining us my dear daughter" he said as Iris froze with fear and could barely speak out a response
"No... I can't... my friends..." but she was interrupted
"They are not you're friends! They will betray you, just wait Iris, they'll turn their backs on you, you're so called friends won't be there when you need it they'll leave you and you'll be left nothing. Besides I have the answers you seek, I can cure you and I can give you more power so together with the others we can have our revenge" he shouted with fury scaring Iris as she fell to the ground in fear
His eyes are filled with the darkness she thought as she saw him began to walk toward her with a menacing smile as she tried to get up but could barely move
" I Shaorun Waveking will get my revenge on my enemies and I will have my daughter by my side when i do it" he said as he now stood right before Iris with his arm reached out waiting for her to accept his offer
As Iris lay their she felt her consciousness fading she didn't know what to do but then heard him
"Fire Dragon's Roar" as the man in-front of her quickly jumped to the air to avoid the attack
"Iris! Are you okay? Dammit you bastard how dare you hurt her, when I'm done with you'll regret being born!" Natsu raged as he stood by Iris's side as she looked up dreamily at him
"Natsu.." was all she could muster as a smile was now on her face as Natsu hearing her voice knelt down to check on her condition while Shaorun observed the situation before taking a closer look at the intruder
Familar he thought as he took a deeper look at the DragonSlayer before realization hit him as he began to laugh manically at who was in-front of him
"HAHA, fate has a funny way of working. It's been ages since I've seen spiky pink hair like that, how nostalgic. This is all so interesting, unfortunately my work here is done so I'll be taking my leave" he said as Natsu's eyes narrowed as he got up and clenched his fist
"I'm not done with you yet, this party is just getting started" Natsu said dangerously as his flames let his fists as Shaorun only smirked
"We will meet again, ohh don't worry about that, I just hope you'll have realized which side your on by then" he said knowingly before looking at Iris
"The time will come to choose your loyalty, I hope you make the right choice" he said before his flames erupted around him as he disappeared into them and was gone as Natsu was furious but quickly saw Iris's state and calmed down as he tried to help her up
"Iris, are you okay, what happened? And dammit we need to get you to Wendy in a hurry" Natsu said in a worried voice as Iris shook her
"Idiot, what happened with your date" she asked as her consciousness really began to fade as the last thing she remembered seeing was Natsu's confused face and the last thing she remembered think was what she would tell him happened
Not really sure if you guys will like this chapter but it's needed. I pick the worst week to have Natsu miss his date with Lucy since I've heard its NaLu? What is NaLu weeks? If anyone could fill me in that would be great, I'm guessing it's just an excuse to write a ton of Nalu things this weeks?
Ohh well, review, favorite and follow please
Chill tell the next one
