Alright, here's another chapter for you guys and like I promised, I posted it up today! So hope you guys are enjoying it as much as I am. And I loved your reviews!
luciannedaughterofposiedon: thank you! And don't worry about the not updating part. Glad to have you back!
Guest1: thank you so much! And here's another great chapter from the master ;)
Guest2: Well I haven't really thought of it. Well that's not true either. I have been testing something out. I've been fooling around with a crossover but never really thought about actually posting it. It's a Frozen/Fairy Tail crossover since both worlds have 'magic' and all that. But I was just fooling around, but if anyone is interested well let me know. Other than that I have no idea what to cross over with. Or even if I should add Kera with it or leave her out.
Guest3: Aw you poor thing! It sucks having a broken leg, I never had one but I can imagine how horrible it is. Well I hope you get better and that my chapters keep you sane ;)
Alex: Well lucky you! Here is the next chapter! Things will get a bit more interesting and we'll see what's going to happen next! So enjoy the chapter!
"She was really nice to give me one of her swords." Archangel replied as they were sitting on the train heading back to Magnolia. They stayed longer than expected. They had stayed a week at Kayeleth's house.
In that time the woman had shown Kera several calming techniques if she ever needed to calm down so the dragon within her wouldn't take over. She had wondered several times if they couldn't work and make the dragon realize who her friends were and who were her enemy.
With the power of a dragon she could definitely defeat Minerva's ass.
But of course Archangel being protective of her said no even if she didn't say anything.
Kera nodded holding her stomach. Being on the train meant motion sickness yet again. "Yea…" She grumbled.
The Exceed smirked at her. "I still can't believe what you did back in the town. That was stupid of you."
"I had to do something. I couldn't let her ruin the name of Fairy Tail." Kera told her, but kept on lying on the seat feeling utterly sick.
"But how are you going to convince the others that the guild should enter the games? You know if you lose then, it's already over." Archangel explained still glancing at the sword she held in her hands.
"I'm not worried. I'm sure the others want to bring back the name of Fairy Tail. Sabertooth can kiss our ass." Kera told her with a small smirk.
"It's your death. I'm just looking out for you. You know, so you don't become someone's torture toy." She said with a raised eyebrow.
Kera rolled her eyes shaking her head. It was still a little while till they get to Magnolia, so she decided maybe taking a nap would help. Especially with her upset stomach. Maybe she shouldn't have eaten so much cake at Kayeleth. If Erza found out she was eating cake she might kill her…
Right after she killed her for leaving just like that
"Wake me up or drag me out of this cart when we get near Magnolia. Alright?" Kera told her and Archangel simply nodded her gaze still on the sword. "You do know by looking at it all the time it won't come to life."
"It's just so beautiful and sharp and deadly." Archangel replied.
Kera chuckled but closed her eyes. It was a long way home.
And she needed her rest.
Kera was shaken awake by two hands on her shoulders. Ugh… were they already there? Opening her eyes slightly she could see something red above her.
Wait… red…
Oh shit…
Her eyes went wide as she recognized the person above her as Erza who was ready to shake her to death.
"How could you just leave like that!? You have a broken leg for gods sake! You shouldn't be out here moving around like this! Where have you been!?" She kept on asking while shaking the poor brunette.
Lucy smiled slightly. "Um Erza, I think you're killing her."
Erza stopped shaking her but she still had her in her grasp. "W-What are you doing here?" Kera asked slightly shocked but also very scared of the red head above her. She was just sleeping and then she goes ahead and wakes her up!
And why didn't Archangel wake her to warn her!?
She looked to the side and almost fainted seeing that the Exceed was knocked out cold. Kera swallowed hard.
She was going to die
"What am I doing here? Looking for you of course! You were gone for a whole week!" Erza yelled at her.
"I wrote a letter to…" She tried but Erza was faster. "Why did you simply run away!? You could have gone to us! We're your team! We're your friends! We're your family! We can help you with problems!"
Kera finally decided to push Erza off of her, surprising the red head slightly. "This was something I had to do on my own. I know I can go to you guys, but this was just something… I had to figure some things out. I'm sorry… I really am, but I wanted to do this on my own."
Erza stayed quiet for a moment taking in what Kera had just said. She then nodded her head. "Alright, I understand, but you still could have told us. At least where you were going."
Her eyes went to the window outside. "I didn't want to worry you guys."
"So… where did you go off to?" Gray asked cocking his head slightly, ignoring the Dragon Slayer behind him on the ground who was feeling sick to the stomach. Kera glanced up and noticed that they were all there. Lucy, Gray, Natsu and Erza… they were worried about her. She could see it on Lucy's face, but that was probably because she noticed her injuries she still had from her fight.
They were probably going to annoy her so long that she'll tell them where she was. So why hold it back? "I… went to Draconia." She told them. "To be precise I visited Kayeleth."
Immediately all of their faces change. Of course, where else would she go? She didn't know anyone else and they did search the whole forest.
Lucy on the other hand understood what this meant. "Is everything alright?"
Erza glanced down at her friend and noticed the several cuts and bruises she had on her body. "What happened to you?"
Kera shrugged simply. "I got in a fight."
"With?" The red head asked. She wanted to know everything. Kera wondered if Erza would go after her to beat the crap out of her… nah…
She waved her hand simply. "Some member from Sabertooth." She didn't need to know who exactly.
Right when she said that word both Natsu and Archangel woke up. The Exceed finally recovered from the blow she received and Natsu woke up since he heard the name Sabertooth. He gritted his teeth as he pushed himself up. "Hey… we did as well…" he mumbled.
This caught Kera's interest. "Really?" Natsu nodded. "Yea, two guys… supposedly even Dragon Slayers. Unfortunately they got the best of us." He grumbled the last part.
Who are these people? First a psychotic woman who wants to turn me into her own toy and now two Dragon Slayers that were able to beat the whole team? What did I get myself into? Kera got worried. She really didn't want to become some toy for that crazy woman.
Luckily Natsu grinned. "But that won't matter because we're going to kick their asses in the Grand Magic Games!"
Archangel gave Kera a smirk saying you-lucky-bastard. Now they'll definitely enter the games. Of course they had to talk to the master but other than that it'll be a piece of cake.
At least she hoped.
She moved to make room for the others. She grabbed her crutch from the side and laid it on the ground beneath her and she moved her leg from the seat to the ground so they could all sit. Erza of course sat next to her making sure she was alright.
"But we have a problem." Kera told them gaining several confused glances. The brunette sighed. "We only have three months till the games and our magic… isn't up to today's standards. We have no idea the style they use. We've been missing for seven years!"
Erza grinned. "Well then, we will have to go on a training exercise. Don't worry, everything is set up. We talked with the master yesterday about the training vacation. Everyone is going. We thought on going to the beach so everyone has to train somewhere. Juvia and Gray have the water for example. It'll be easy."
Kera shook her head. "Wait, are you guys saying, you already decided to join? You already have everything set up?"
They all nodded. "It actually went really fast." Lucy said with a smile.
Gray looked down at her broken leg. "Of course you will have to wait a while till your leg is all healed up. But that shouldn't take that long. A week or two."
Erza nodded. "And we also got a message from Hibiki saying he was going to join us train for the games as well."
That spiked her interest. "Blue Pegasus is entering as well?"
Gray nodded. "Of course we all were wondering if it was wise to let the enemy train with us, but on the other hand it's just Hibiki. He probably just wants to be close to you." He smirked.
Kera blushed and looked out of the window. Archangel suddenly had her new sword against the Ice Mage's throat. "I can cut your head off right now. You tease her one more time and you will just see how sharp my new blade is."
Erza's face brightened up. "You got a new sword?"
Archangel smirked. "Yes, Kayeleth has given me one sword out of her vast collection, also these were for you." She said grabbing something that was covered in cloth. The Exceed handed it over to the red headed Re-Quip Mage.
Like a little kid on Christmas Erza opened up the cloth. What she saw was amazing. Kera smirked. "Since I thought you were going to kill me, I thought, why not with some new swords."
Erza hugged Kera. "You are really sweet. You know that?"
The brunette smirked. "Was that before you were going to kill me or after?" The red head simply rolled her eyes. She grabbed one of the two swords and lifted it in the air. "Wow… it's beautiful." She said looking at the long but curved shape of the blade. The blade inside was ragged to make it even more painful if you stab someone.
Kera chuckled. "They are called the Dragon Twin Blades. Kayeleth told me that they possess the power of a dragon if wielded correctly. She said she trusted you enough to have it, also that you may be the only one she knows who can actually control the power. With that you could actually beat a real dragon."
"Wow…" Erza said in wonder.
Natsu glared at her. "Hey! Do you want her to beat me?"
Kera shrugged. "It's a gift from Kayeleth."
"Did she give you anything? You are her daughter after all." Lucy said glancing at her.
Archangel looked at Kera with a worried glance. Was she going to tell them? The brunette sighed before nodding. "Yea, she taught me a few new tricks and also the answer to my problem."
"Which was?" Gray asked.
Kera frowned. "You're nosy, you know that?"
He shrugged. "Got nothing else to do."
"You got Juvia. She'd love to be your company. Actually she'd love to be your anything." Kera gave him a smirk which made the Ice Mage freeze.
Archangel chuckled.
Kera looked back out of the window, watching the landscape as they drove passed it. Her stomach still felt sick but she could handle it better. She was just worried about the dragon inside of her.
What if she lost control? What if the dragon got out? She would attack anyone in sight… even her friends.
Also it will automatically come out when there is a real dragon nearby.
She just doesn't want to hurt anyone close to her. Especially her friends. Luckily Archangel knew what to do when it happened. Also she can calm herself down when she gets a little out of control. So there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
She hoped.
"So who's all coming?" Kera asked as she glanced around the guild. She was resting her leg on the bench as the others got ready for the departure for their three months training camp.
Lucy smiled as she sat down next to her. "Well, if I heard correctly it's us with Gray and Erza, then Juvia and Levy with Wendy and Carla. And of course Hibiki."
"That's great to hear. Mostly everyone close to us. What about the others? Like Elfman and Mirajane or Gajeel?" Kera asked.
"They were going to train on their own." Lucy told her.
Kera nodded. "So you guys really don't mind if Hibiki comes?"
"No! It's not like he's going to spy on us or anything." Lucy laughed. "He's a real nice guy. You should be lucky to have him."
The brunette sighed. "Sometimes I think he deserves more than me." She told her truthfully.
"Now why would you think that? Who else would I want?" A voice behind her said. Kera smirked slightly. "Speak of the devil."
Arms wrapped around her and she could feel him nuzzle her neck. "Aw… you don't love me anymore?"
"Of course I do you dummy!" Kera laughed as she made him sit down next to her. Hibiki smiled at her giving her a kiss. "So? Have you been resting your leg?"
"Of course I have!" Kera said to him with a smile.
Hibiki smirked before glancing at Lucy. The blonde nodded. "Yea, she's not using her leg."
Kera rolled her eyes which caused Hibiki to chuckle. He hugged her with such care. Kera glanced at him. "Are you sure it's alright for you to come? Your guild isn't saying anything about it?"
The dark blonde male smirked at her. "Are you seriously asking that? Think, Ichiya will not let his dear Titania's friend be alone and keep me from her. Bob is also fine with it. Though Jenny isn't but she's not important."
Lucy's face lit up. "Did you just say Jenny!? Oh my god! She is just like Mirajane! One of Fiore's best model!"
Kera blinked. "Wow… your obsessive with that kind of stuff."
"No I'm not!" Lucy huffed.
Hibiki smirked as well but shook his head. "Yea, Jenny almost didn't let me go. I don't know what's wrong with her. She keeps on following me around. And ever since I came back from the Tenrou Incident she is even more obsessive. Strange right?" The boy waited for an answer but strangely he didn't get one.
Looking at Kera he noticed she was looking distant. "You okay Kera?" He asked nudging her slightly.
Kera snapped out of her daydream and looked up at him. She smiled sweetly. "Yea, I'm fine." She reassured him.
Hibiki smiled at her. "I'm going to go check if the others are ready. You'll be fine here?"
The brunette nodded. Hibiki gave her a quick kiss before leaving the two girls alone. Lucy noticed Kera's expression. "Kera… it doesn't have to…"
"Yes it does." Kera interrupted her. "Jenny likes Hibiki. It's probably just time before he leaves me for her."
Lucy shook her head. "No, he wouldn't do that. He's obviously oblivious about Jenny's affection for him. He won't go to her. Why would he?"
She snorted. "Because Jenny is 'Miss Fiore'."
"He won't leave you." Lucy reassured her. She grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes. "I promise you Kera. He won't leave you. He is not that kind of guy."
Kera smiled at Lucy. "Thank you Lucy. I really appreciate your help."
The blonde gave her a heartwarming smile. "Don't worry about it. We're friends after all." Kera nodded agreeing with her. Though she was still worried about Jenny.
"Alright guys! Grab your stuff and get ready! We're leaving!" Erza called out.
Kera sighed as she grabbed her crutch. "Alright, it looks like we're leaving."
Lucy nodded. "It's time for training."
Next chapter is training time! Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! So to keep this short I'll just say, don't forget to review and wish you all a good start of the next week that's coming tomorrow!
Until next time!
