Soon eight dragons had appeared but before a bright light flashed and a loud bang was heard an eighth dragon arrived.
"Rekai! What are we going to do?" asked Eve as two dragons landed in front of blue Pegasus and Lamia scale. One was brown and use rock magic. The other was Amari.
"Get back guys I'll handle them." I said stepping closer to the giant creatures and putting on a brave, and arrogant, front.
"I am Rekai the shadow dragon slayer and I won't let you harm my friends" I stated sending a warning shot to skim across the stone dragons face and drawing blood. Both were shocked but smirked and went to strike, and so I turned to shadows as the attacks hit and I escaped without a scratch.
"Impossible" the stone dragon yelled and went to strike again but he gained the same result. I was unharmed and his attack had no effect.
"Don't judge me on how I look. I am much older than what I appear to be!" I yelled sending a breath attack to the stone dragon and dodging an attack from Amari. I could hear other fights going on all over crocus and once I heard a click from behind me I wiped around and destroyed the metal dragon things before they could harm my friends but I couldn't avoid Amari's breath attack and was hit full force. Being sent backwards before standing again but not before seeing an old Enemy who seemed to have changed sides.
"Listen" Natsu yelled. I didn't see him but he was somewhere. I listened.
"WE CAN WIN. WE HAVE EIGHT DRAGON SLAYERS ON OUR SIDE. DON'T GIVE UP" He boomed renewing hope in everyone around. Eight...? Oh so snake guy was a dragon slayer.
"Well, well if it isn't the Snake guy. Let's do this then" I said grabbing his attention before attacking the rock dragon once again, stealing the guys thunder. He looked peeved and went to shout at me for something but Amari took advantage of his distracted state and attacked but I took the hit and devoured the shadows sent at us.
"Keep on your feet" I said before continuing my fight with rock face, and leaving Amari to snakes. What I don't know his name and he is probably the same age as me, or older, so I can't call him brat.
"Deal. And don't get in my way" he said as we started our serious fight. Man o' a dragon. When the clock stuck half twelve everyone was exhausted and some looked ready to drop. I had many gashes and I was running out of magic power, fast.
"Damn it" I mumbled and went on the defensive to avoid serious damage. From what I took in, these dragons are from the past. We can't kill them. If we do who knows what will happen. I wasn't fighting to kill. I was fighting to survive.
"REKAI!" Eve yelled and I turned around only to feel something pierce my gut. I heard a crash and looked to see Ren had just destroyed one of the metal dragons. I felt my gut as something trailed down my chin. It was warm but it left a coppery taste in my mouth. I moved my hand to where I felt the pain and when I looked at my hand…it was covered in blood. My blood. I started to shake and Amari took off and left. Cobra, I heard someone say his name, took on fighting rock face and I collapsed onto my knees and hurled. I hurled up blood. I looked up to see the other shocked and frightened faces staring back. I gave a shaky smile but it was weak and soon fell as I hunched over in pain and let the tears fall freely.
"Eve…I'm sorry" I mumbled as the corners of my vision started to blur. I gave a weak smile and coughed up more blood. Eve himself was crying as well and it made me sad so with what strength I had, I raised my hand to touch his cheek and wipe away some of the tears.
"Don't cry. Please?" I asked of him and he nodded and tried to stop the tears but they would not stop. He grabbed my hand and held it tight. Hibiki had created a barrier around us and was helping the others fend off the small metal things and cobra was fighting off rock face.
"Why did this happen to you?" eve asked through his tears as he bowed his head... It hurt to see him cry like this, over my pain, over me. I didn't want him to cry.
"Sunshine…" I mumbled and he looked up and the tears fell harder. "My…only sun…shine" I continued but I couldn't say any more as more blood came up my throat.
"You make me happy…when skies are grey" He continued as my eyes grew heavier. I wanted to stay with him and everyone else but I seemed that it was my time to go.
"Good…bye…eve…" I mumbled as my eyes began to close but he still continued to sing for me. Like I was being sung to sleep on a stormy night and I would wake when the sun rises.
"You'll never know dear how much I love you…please don't take my sun shine away" he said softly as I fell into darkness and an eternal sleep.
