AN: It only took me 2 days to figure out what it was that I wanted to do next. The other days were spent doing Calc and English homework. Thank you Fatherfail for the idea. I got it after rereading the Izaya vs. Anthony fight and watching Yuyu Hakusho and Bleach. I will not rant about how this occurred, so let's get started, also this is Edward the Pure if you couldn't tell.
PS, I reposted this because the bio was incomplete, don't read again if you already have.
Chapter 19
Darkness fell over me like a net, capturing me in its snare and pulling me in. I could feel my consciousness literally drift away. Somehow I could tell that Aoi and Sadon were feeling the same thing. I thought I heard something speak, but I couldn't tell what it was at all.
I woke up in a canyon of purple goo falling from the walls and black, grey, maroon, and azure mixing together and separating again in the sky. I looked and saw that Aoi and Sadon were awake as well wondering how it is that we got here. A dark figure, dragon like descended from the sky. He was only about 7 foot, bluish purple scales making up his body, black pants with a belt with a rectangular belt buckle with an X on it, a blood red chest plate that had a slot for his small wings to fit through, and yellow orange three clawed gloves. His tail, serpentine like, ended in a thick trident, a single blade with 2 smaller blades sticking out parallel to the single blade, and his head was also serpentine like. He had some kind of guard over his mouth, not allowing us to see it.
He landed on the ground in front of us, slouching a bit as he did, letting his arms dangle. His eyes became human like and green. He looked at us and motioned for us to follow. I looked at them and they seemed to agree as well.
We all followed him until the end of the canyon into an opening where it was all the same, but it felt like we were standing on something. He turned towards us and just stood there for a moment. He then spoke after what seemed like forever in a haunting and echoed, yet old and calming voice. "It is a pleasure to meet all of you." He tries to attempt a bow, but it doesn't look like he does because of how slouched he is. "I have been waiting for someone to enter these ruins for over 100,000,000 years, but no one with great intelligence has. I welcome you to the center of the ruins." He motions around us.
"We're asleep, how can we be in the center of the ruins?" Sadon asks. I look around, awed by how it looks. Aoi is doing the same, but has Muramasa ready in case this guy attacks us as well.
"That is because your bodies are resting. The plain of my existence is that of the subconscious, where I cannot be seen or heard other than to be knocked out or unconscious while the body rests," he replies. He seems to not want to attack us, so I motion for Aoi to put her guitar up. "There shall be some more joining us shortly, but until then." He pauses and lifts his hands, a temple appears behind him. "I believe that you have a mission to complete." We start to go forth, but he stops us. "The trials inside are not something to be taken lightly. Only the worthy may obtain the power of the Power Seekers." He begins to ascend again, but stops.
"Who are you?" I ask him. He seems to smile at the question. I can't tell because of that guard though.
"Izaya Tsubasa, just call me Phantom. I am one who cannot appear physically on your plane except as a phantasmal image, but don't try to figure out anything else before you start the trials." He ascends, disappearing from sight.
"Great, now we got to the center, which is in another level of existence, making this even more confusing. So, shall we go in?" Aoi asks, pulling out her new guitar. I look over at Sadon and see him trying to clean his cape. This guy was obsessing over nothing.
We all enter the temple and there are 5 doors in front of us. Before we open one though, a large burst of flames washes in from the outside. "What the hell was that?" Sadon asks. I shrug, running outside without a plan to check it out. They follow me, but obviously by a distance. "I bet it was that Phantom person." We get outside and see a larger form of Doruga. This guy was about 100,000 times as large. Literally, I couldn't tell where his feet were and his head as well because they were out of my sight.
"You really should pay more attention. I put my soul into the room so that even if my body were to be destroyed, I would not die. As long as my spirit lives I will not lose to any of you three wimps." He lets out a cone of maroon flames from his mouth, nearly missing us, but we dodged out of the way in time.
"Sadon, Aoi. Let's give him hell." I summon the Dragon Gloves and prepare to strike.
Aoi plays a loud rift and an explosion envelopes Doruga's entire head, Sadon forms multiple needles out of water and fires them at him, impacting and some sticking in him. I form a fist of flames and a fist of golden energy. I jump as high as I can, which is actually about as high as his chest, gravity here was really reduced apparently. I punched him with both of the fists, first the fire then the energy. He moves back a little, but not much.
"Nice try worms, but my soul won't fall that easily." He forms the blade of red flames and swings it at us. "Fire Dragon's Prominence." Before it can impact, I form a rectangle with my index and thumbs, with my other fingers up as well. The fire is sucked into the middle of the rectangle and disappears in a puff of smoke.
"That won't work Doruga. Fire type dragon slayer magic is still fire nonetheless. Using my Dragon's Calm, I can absorb your flames and add them to my own magic." A put my right hand forward, flames forming on it. "Fire Dragon's Flash." A sphere of fire fires from my hand and impacts his stomach. He doesn't even flinch or look like he registered it.
"Did you just try attacking me? I couldn't tell if that was the wind or not." Maroon flames formed around his tattoos, and began to form to spheres. "Chaos Dragon's Breath." A wide shot of maroon flames fire everywhere. I try the Dragon's Calm, but for some reason it doesn't work. Instead I am hurled towards the temple, smashing through a wall. I get back up, only to see that Aoi and Sadon were also hit by it, severe burns on their bodies everywhere.
"Dekker, come forth." I pull out the dagger amulet and he appears. "We need to push Doruga back. Use your Tail Hook." He nods, charging forward. As he swings his tail though, it doesn't even move Doruga. "Crap, we need some more power." And suddenly, more came.
"Mist Dragon's Wrath," a voice said from nowhere. Doruga was hit with multiple hits, but they were all a blur. The blur seemed to land by me. It was Phantom. "He has a shield up preventing all magic from getting through, and his body is hard enough so that he isn't affected by physical strikes." I nod, knowing some of this would help, hopefully.
"Alright thanks, but why are you here?" He looks at me, possibly smirking.
"You can't defeat him without me. A Mist Dragon can merge with a person to turn them into an apparition. The problem is that I need a partner that I can trust." He looks at me expectantly.
"You can use me as your conduit. Let me get my bearings though." I step forward, and use a blast of golden energy and fire to fly towards Doruga. "Now let's go." He appears next to me.
"Prepare to fuse." He turns into mist, and my body turns misty. "Fusion complete. Veil of Mist, activated." I hear a voice in my head tell me.
"Through the fire and the flames we carry on." I say as we pass through his fire barrier and straight through his flame attacks. "Let's get his internals." I pass through his body and spot his heart immediately. At least I think it was a heart. It was a sphere attached by many things holding it in place. I float towards it, and I land on top while Phantom forms in front of the heart thing.
"I can get rid of this easily. Stay where you are." His body begins to turn into a purple mist, separating into multiple parts. "Mist Dragon's Phantom Strike." The mist flies around it, but the ends come straight through it, slashing it in many directions. His body converges back to normal, his tail coming last. "Now, let's get out of here before his body destabilizes." We merge again, and get out of there, posthaste.
We get out, and Doruga seems to be in incredible pain. "At least my body is well again. Now I can return to it and fight you in the future. I look forward to it, Wings, Hunter, Melody. Give the Stargazer my regards when you see him." And with that little confusing message, he turned into dust and scattered.
In his place were Natsu, Mira, and Erza. They somehow got here and I don't know how. We'll figure it out after we wake them up. I turn to thank Phantom for his help, but he is gone before I can. This guy was definitely someone to want on my team later on. But for now, our team was good as it was.

AN: I hope that the X~X does appear. I read some of my chapters earlier, and the +++ didn't appear, so now the X~X will represent where the story ends. So we have that out of the way, and now we go to the next character bio, which is Izaya's, since I'm doing this in the order of alphabet by first name.
Name: Izaya Tsubasa Age: 18 (currently, 28 by the end) Gender: Male Appearance: Tall with short red hair, green eyes, very pale, pure white t-shirt and ripped jeans, 2 rings on each finger on his right hand (currently, will have on each finger on his right hand), and currently 6 pendants tied together on his belt buckle (10 in the Silence Uprising). History: Izaya originally lived in the town of Beowl on Fiore, but moved 7 years later when his parents were exiled when they were charged with participation in a dark guild. They lived in the Southern Continent for 10 years, but Izaya came down one day to a gory mess in the living room which was his parent's remains. He found their wedding rings and Titan and Titania came from them, telling them about his magic. He came back to Fiore, but was arrested for going against the exile. He was released one month later by Anthony Polganic to be his spy on Fairy Tail, but Izaya secretly disobeyed him, telling Makarov when he joined about what Anthony was forcing him to do. He gave false info and became an S-Class Mage after only 2 years of being part of Fairy Tail. Magic: Titan Magic Tattoo Location: Left Shoulder Blade Personality: Izaya keeps to himself, but will speak if there is something important to say. He helps in any way he can and never fights with everything unless forced to. Rank: S Other: Is extremely smart and will often pace and mutter to himself to plan for anything, unless the likelihood of it happening is extremely low.
Well that's it for this chapter. I hope that you enjoyed and also, for a free announcement, my Digimon Xros Wars Story might be up on Monday, for those it may concern. I don't know who all reading this does care, but if you don't then just ignore it. It's something I want so that I can get more readers. Next announcement, also for those it may concern, I thank all those who have followed me thus far and who have reviewed, but I am kind of saddened by the fact that only two of all of you have reviewed all of my chapters and followed this story so far. For those following this I would appreciate a review, to let me know if there is anything you think I need to do better or if you think that it's good or if you want me to change something. I am a very self conscious person here readers. I like to know how I did so that I know if there is anything I can improve on or if I'm good enough. And when I get to a good stopping place, which will be after this ruins adventure, which I may wrap up soon cause this thing is starting to get on my nerves, but not too much, I will begin to edit my chapters to get rid of all errors, because they get on my nerve despite only being minor, I am very OCD when it comes to my writing. (Checks the notes, grabs a thing, and pulls out phone) One more thing, let me know if I'm giving the stuff to you too easily, cause I don't want that. I want you guys to wrack your brains for answers and to not have someone give everything to you, like what happens in the real world. I'd start a rant here on something that happened relating to this, but I won't. So until next time, ciao.
