F.Y.I. Cobra is the same age as Natsu, Gajeel, Sting, Rogue, etc. Ultear is at the age she was after tenrou, so is Meredy.
Woo! I got seven reviews and I'm happy, heres the next chapter as promised, here we go!
With Cobra and Orchid
Orchid pulled Cobra's arm over her shoulder, the two of them leaning into each other for support.
"Umm...so now what?" Orchid asked.
"We need to find a place to hole up for the a little while, get ourselves back into fighting shape, we can't risk running into someone in this state."
Cobra replied, a scowl painted across his face as he felt his magic power slowly ebbing back like the waters at the beginning of high tide.
Orchid took one last look at the defeated Jura.
"I can't believe we beat a wizard saint..." She murmured as they began to move away.
In the Grand Magic Games stadium
"I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE BEAT A WIZARD SAINT!"
The crowd was buzzing about Orchid's astonishing win.
"I thought she was a total weakling, hiding behind her teammate like that!"
"Boy were you wrong! I loved her exploding flowers!"
"No, her melee attacks were the best!"
"What about Cobra? Did you see his scaly arms? That was awesome!"
"And that double roar attack? What did they call it, a 'double up'?"
"Yeah, yeah! Double ups are my new favorite, all of the dragonslayers can do them, I think, Sting and Rogue did in their fight, remember?"
"Yeah it was so cool! How about how Orchid reacted when she saw Cobra go flying in a wall? How she screamed his name? She's so in love with him!"
"Sorcerer Weekly will be all over this new guild! Jason will raid their guild hall any day now! Think about it, all the undiscovered couples and drama?"
"But where they're located is a mystery, remember? No one even knows what part of the continent they live in! All anyone knows in that they're in Fiore and that they aren't in the capital!"
"Weird, I wonder if they'll come out with the location after the games."
Master Dracoya heard all of this with her increased hearing.
I wonder, will I reveal our guilds location?
She thought to herself as she watched her beloved partner Angel jump up and down with the other exceeds, her tutu spinning along with her tiny snowy white self, on the front wall of the box.
No.
She sighed and ran a hand through her long pale green hair, a totally different shade than Orchid's vibrant green.
If I reveal our homes location, our last defense against a flood of members will have been lost. I'm sure if we open our doors, or, that is, lower our drawbridge, that hundreds of lost wizards will come pouring in. I wish I could welcome them all with open arms, but I can't. I don't want to have to build on the castle, that place has been the same for centuries, and I don't dare disturb that. I also don't want our members living anywhere but at the hall, I want them to be there so they can train, they can learn, and, most importantly, that they'll be close, so we can all be together and protect each other. But, many of my children have expressed their wish to become closer with people outside of our little world. You know, sometimes I wish we'd never become legal in the first place. It would have been so much simpler, but I suppose the grass is always greener...
She turned her attention back to the screen.
Back in the hall of pillars
Viper was going into fierce melee with Kagura as Minerva watched cockily.
Before Erza Scarlet's sword slashed her across the back and flung her into the far pillar with enough strength to cause her body to crush the very stone it slammed into.
Minerva staggered to her feet, coughing, taking a second to regain her usual immaculate posture and calm face.
"Scarlet. I was wondering when you'd arrive." She cooed.
Erza attacked without a word in greeting.
"Re-quip, Heavens Wheel!" She barked, at once her outfit changed with a flash of her red magic circle.
"Circle of swords!"
Her swords spun at incredible speed, whistling through the air.
Minerva threw up one hand and caught a sword in a swirling globe of blue-black territory.
Erza gritted her teeth hard as she leaned her body weight into the attack, grunting in effort.
Minerva's smiling face faltered as she sent so much power into her fist that she cracked Erza's sword, slowly, cracks spread like a spiderweb through the sword in the Sabertooth wizard's grip shattered.
"Arrggh!" Erza cried as Minerva caused the space in front of her to explode, making her swords scatter and vanish while the wizard herself was sent smashing into another pillar, only to come flying back out with a warriors yell in her black wing armor.
As Erza and Minerva fought back and forth, Viper performed a back handspring to avoid being struck by Archenemy.
"Nightfall Demon's Howl!" She cried, blasted at Kagura with her funnel of night magic fused with demonslayer energy.
Kagura threw herself to one side and rolled, clutching Archenemy to her chest with one arm and rolling around it like a wheel around an axil.
Viper turned her head and poured on the pour, chasing Kagura down the stretch of pillars before finally running out of juice for the moment, and dropping to the ground, cutting off her blast.
Kagura stopped her mad roll and leapt easily to her feet, shooting at Viper yet again.
Kagura was an inch from Viper's face, and the latter wizard let out a curse before the powerful sword drove full speed into her side.
She screamed as she when hurtling over the edge of the hall of pillars, falling down and down, out of sight.
Kagura turned her back on the demonslayer.
Just as a pillar of night magic beamed into the sky.
"NO WAY IN HELL IT'LL BE THAT EASY! I AIN'T FINISHED YET!" Viper shrieked as she launched herself back up from the edge.
Kagura winced as Viper slammed into her, her fist hitting Kagura in the stomach and causing the ground to shake.
Master Dracoya braced herself against the side wall of the box as the entire stadium trembled.
"I can't believe it!" Onyx shouted over the rumbling coming from the tremendous blow Kagura returned to Viper, slamming her sword into the Draconem's stomach.
"She's almost all out! I never thought anyone could push Viper that far!"
Misty shrieked as she stumbled into Onyx's chest, he caught her, and Ultear was watching with Meredy and giggling.
"Geez..." Onyx grumbled, glanced over at them as she pushed Misty back on balance.
"Master, what's gonna happen!?" Happy asked, he had gone into the air to avoid tripping on the ground.
Master Dracoya gripped the divider she was balancing herself on.
"I don't know."
Whoa! I told you Viper's gonna get going! What will happen, Happy? Even Master Dracoya doesn't know! Do any of you guys have any thoughts? The Swords woman of Mermaid Heel! The dangerous lady of Sabertooth! The queen of the Fairies of Fairy Tail! The strongest slayer of Draconem Heart! Who will triumph? Who knows? Find out next time!
