Note: I don't own anything related to Fairy Tail
Chapter 26 - Wind Vs Ice!
Ray looked around having a horrible feeling about what was going on and felt something was coming as his body tensed up.
Lucy looked over at him confused. "Hey Ray what's wrong?"
"Something feels off..I can't say what it is but, I feel like it's bad." Ray got up and looked around.
"You pathetic pests sure are making things difficult." A new voice forced Ray and Lucy ti turn around seeing a man wearing a black suit and tie standing there. "My name is Kigan Glove. A pleasure."
Ray looked at Kigan ready to fight. "Lucy. You, Wendy, Natsu and, Hibiki stay back. I've got this guy."
"Are you sure? Your still hurt. I can heal you." Wendy was obviously concerned.
"I'll be fine. I am a Fairy Tail Wizard after all this won't slow me down." Ray smiled having to much pride in his guild.
"Ray are you sure you don't need my help?" Natsu walked up beside Ray looking to fight.
"No. I can handle it. I need you to keep an eye on Erza, Lucy and, Wendy." Ray clenched his fists.
"Either way I will destroy all of you before all this is over so I don't really care who I destroy first." Kigan simply smiled with all the confidence in the world.
"Bastard. I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face!" Natsu charged towards him with a flame engulfed punch.
"Natsu wait!" Ray was about to grab Natsu.
Suddenly almost like he didn't have to move Kigan sent Natsu flying back as Ray caught him.
"Damn..that hurts. What the hell was that he didn't even move. So how the hell did he hit me so hard?" Natsu rubbed his head.
"I get it now. Time displacement magic." Ray said catching everyone's attention.
"Wait what kind of magic?" Natsu scratched his head confused.
"Time displacement. Basically it allows whoever uses it to slow down or stop time itself. The only really issue is it can't be sustained for long." Ray stood up helping Natsu back to his feet.
"Sadly your right. But, it doesn't matter I'm still gonna kill you anyway." Kigan smirked as he looked at Ray.
"Let's see you try it!" Ray had a plan and it blew up in Kigan's face as a massive fist made of ice shot out of the ground but, Kigan dodged it using wind magic. "I see now. You use wind magic to supplement your time displacements short time limit!"
Kigan laughed. "Your a smart little pest! This might prove to be more exciting than I thought!"
"I'm glad I had Gray and Lezon plant those traps around here just in case. But, my bodies still in bad shape...and my magic isn't fully recovered yet. So I gotta play smart." Ray gritted his teeth as he thought.
"Okay then pest! Show me what you can do!" Kigan laughed as he sent a tornado of wind towards them catching Ray in as he laughed once Ray went flying into the air.
Ray managed to launch himself through the air and speared him in the stomach sending them both flying. "I gotta get him away from Erza and the others."
Soon Ray and Kigan were far enough away to go all out so he did. "Ice Dragon! Roar!" Ray blasted his breath attack directly into his face.
Kigan landed on the ground shaking off the frost that Ray hit him with as Ray landed not to far away and charged towards him. Kigan laughed as he charged as well soon the two of them began exchanging blows as they threw wild and fast punches. Ray and Kigan continued as each punch either collided with each other, missed or, found there target. Soon Kigan caught Ray with an uppercut before sending him flying with a tornado punch to the gut. Ray coughed up blood as Kigan followed with his increased speed and kneed him in the gut causing him to slam into the ground creating a crater. Kigan came down with a massive tornado punch ready. Ray quickly dodged it as he he flipped back creating distance, "Ice Dragon! Stalactite Barrage!" Ray sent dozens of ice stalactites towards Kigan only he vanished and kicked Ray in the gut. Ray groaned as he dodged another attack before being nailed by a surprise tornado that caught Ray again. Ray freed himself and looked at Kigan. "Wind Magic! Tornado Gatling!" Kigan sent a barrage of Tornado punches nailing Ray at every turn. Ray coughed up blood as he slammed into the ground.
Ray shook it off slowly standing up while breathing heavy as Kigan slowly landed dusting himself off. Ray growled as he launched himself towards Kigan throwing punches that Kigan dodged with ease so once Ray landed he charged towards him again. "Ice Dragon! Iron Fist!" Ray nailed Kigan with the attack. Ray soon felt a powerful punch to his stomach as he was sent flying through a tree and coughed up blood.
Ray looked at him. "That's it I'm gonna blow you away! Ice Dragon! Roar!" Ray's breath attack flew towards Kigan.
Kigan dodged it as he flew into the air and sent a massive gust of wind towards Ray but, Ray runs dodging it jumping off trees. Ray launched himself into the air towards Kigan and started throwing punches that Kigan didged before kicking Ray back down to the ground. Kigan soon made a spear of wind and threw it at Ray. Ray rolled out of the way as the spear smashed into the ground Kigan kept throwing them as Ray rolled across the ground as he ended up in a river. Kigan created ball of wind, "Let's see you survive this. Wind Magic! Sky Bomb!" Kigan threw it into the water and after a few seconds it exploded as water flew into the air form the blast.
Kigan landed smiling. "Ya know. I was expecting far more from you. Sadly I'm disappointed." Kigan shrugged as he began walking away.
Soon Kigan stopped as he turned around seeing Ray crawling out of the river breathing heavily. "Jeez that was close..any closer I would've been a goner." Ray stood up as he looked at Kigan.
"Oh..You survived. Excellent. I was beginning my fun was over already." Kigan walked back towards Ray with a smile.
Ray wiped his mouth spitting out blood. "Bring it on."
Ray charged at Kigan again and with a blizzard engulfing both of his arms and threw a series of punches as Kigan smiled dodging them. "Ice Dragon! Iron Fist!" Ray threw a fake kick and caught Kigan with a punch in the gut sending Kigan flying as he slammed through a tree. Kigan spat up blood as he stood up and he stared at it. "That's the first time anyone has made me see my own blood." Kigan began laughing. "Yes! This is what I wanted! A battle that will leave me bleeding and wanting more!" Kigan charged towards Ray again catching him off guard and threw a series of punches to Ray's jaw and stomach before kicking Ray in the side sending him skidding across the ground. Ray quickly flipped up as Kigan was ready and lifted his arms towards Ray with his fits parallel to each other. "Wind Magic. Heavens Devastation!" Soon a massive blast of wind hit Ray and he felt like his bones and organs were being shredded as he coughed up blood as he fell.
Ray flew towards a tree slamming through it and falling over as he coughed up blood as blood fell down his head and past his eye. Ray couldn't feel his legs or fingers as he could feel his bones rattling at the moment. Ray slowly got up and and held his side as Kigan was breathing heavy clearly exhausting most of his magic on that last attack.
Ray caught his breath."He must've exhausted himself from using that attack. This might be my only chance." Ray wiped the blood out of his eyes. "So looks like you used up to much of your magic with that last one huh."
Kigan gritted his teeth. "Damn. I used to much magic on this pest. I need to end this."
Ray charged towards him and leaped up. "Ice Dragon! Talon!" Ray kicked him in the jaw sending him back. When Kigan looked at Ray his eyes went wide. "Ice Dragon! Iron Fist!" Ray's punch hit him dead center in the face sending Kigan flying. "I just need one more attack!" Ray ran up about to charge up one more attack only to be caught up by a wind punch to the face knocking him back. Kigan raised his arms with his fists aimed towards Ray. But, Ray jumped back with a laugh. "You aren't gonna trick me that easy!" Kigan smiled and appeared behind Ray. "Wind Magic." Ray's eyes went wide. "Heaven's Devetstion." The wind shredded Ray's body and Ray's eyes went white as blood shot out of his mouth and his body went limp.
Kigan breathed heavily as he started walking away. "Such a pathetic waste. But, now it's time to deal with the rest." Kigan slowly smiled. "Perhaps I'll take my time with the blond girl."
Ray slowly fell back as his body was limp and unmoving but, deep in his mind he could hear a voice. "Such a pathetic way to fall...Killed by a arrogant wizard...I refuse to believe...that the man raised by The Ice Dragon King...The son of Frosvidate...would fail so easily...Take my power...and prove...you are worthy...then...you. Will. Come to me." Ray could feel a sudden surge of magic flood his body as he stood and clenched his fists. Ray still coughed up blood but, stood up and stared Kigan down who couldn't believe that Ray was still standing.
Kigan was about to use his time distortion magic to finish Ray off but, coughed up blood. "Oh no...I used up to much Magic...No...I can't lose...NO!" Kigan was shaking as looked at Ray.
"Ice Dragon!" Magic surrounded Ray. "Stalactite Barrage! Ray started launching multiple stalactites towards Kigan and each one hit Kigan dead on and Ray just kept hitting him. Kigan was sent back against a mountain as Ray roared as he sent the last one and Kigan was smashed into the mountain. Once Ray stopped Kigan was unconscious and he fell forward defeated.
Ray was breathing heavily as he fell to his knees and coughed up blood. "What the hell...was that voice?" Ray shook his head. "Can't think of that right now..I gotta get back to the others.." Ray got up and started making his way back. Ray was using the trees to hold himself up as he walked despite all the pain he felt in his legs he finally reached Lucy and the others.
Lucy looked at Ray and ran over and caught Ray as he fell. "Ray!? Are you okay!?" Lucy's voice was filled with concern.
Ray laughed. "I'm alive aren't I.." Ray smiled despite all the pain.
Lucy couldn't help but, smile just a bit. "Even now you have a sense of humor." Lucy helped Ray over and had him sit down before looking at Wendy. "Wendy do you think you could heal Ray?"
Wendy nodded. "Yeah okay." Wendy walked over to Ray.
"Honestly. You look like you can barely stand up right. Absolutely pathetic." Carla huffed as she shook her head.
"Well at least he won and is still alive after all." Falu chimed in. "But, still that does seem pretty stupid that you took so long." Falu looked at Ray shaking his head.
Ray wanted to strangle those two cats so badly. "Oh you two are so lucky I can't move right now otherwise I'd make you into punching bags!"
Wendy began healing Ray's injuries. "He was fought so hard...I hope he doesn't think we're mad.."
Hibiki looked at Ray. "Well at least you took care of him. Hopefully you'll be back on your feet soon."
Ray chuckled. "Don't worry. Wendy will have me back on my feet in no time. I have faith that I'll be fine."
Lucy smiled at Ray's optimism. "Well at least you're alive that's the most important thing."
Ray smiled at her. "Yeah. Once I'm back on my feet we'll take down the Oracion Seis and stop Nervana." Ray looked at the beam that signified Nervana's release. "And hopefully find out what that voice was and why I have to find them...Please let everyone else be okay."
