CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: SNOW VS SOL

Snow runs through the hallways of the Phantom Lord Guild. "Damn you Phantom Lord...!" He steps on a tile and an eye appears. Snow turns around as he hears someone behind him. "Huh?!"

A figure appears behind him which happens to be Sol. "Salut."

"An Element 4, huh?" Snow gets into a fighting stance.

A Magic Circle appears under Mira. "Oh, no!" Cana notices Mira being taken away underground. "Mira!"

Mira is taken to the guild, held as hostage. "Deplorable girl, attempting to fool us like that..." Master Jose said. "Now you will witness the end of your friends as you are slowly crushed."

"Mira!" Cana cried out.

"Nee-chan!" Elfman called out.

"Damn! This is insane!" Macao commented.

"Mira-chan!" Wakaba shouted.

"Hurry and stop that giant! Natsu! Snow! Gray!" Cana thinks to herself.

"My name is Sol. You can call me Monsieur Sol." Sol introduces himself.

"Perfect timing. You're gonna tell me how to stop this giant." Snow said. "Black Dragon's Roar!" Snow uses his breath attack, but Sol disappears underground and back on top.

"Dragon Slayer?" Sol waves his arm around.

"Enough of your blabbering! Black Dragon's Wing Attack!" Snow sends streams of shadows towards Sol, who dodges it.

"Oh? You had a father, didn't you?" Sol asked as Snow glares at him. Sol jumps back to prepare an attack. "Sable Dance!" Sand surrounds Snow who can't see where Sol is going. "Roche Concerto!" Rocks attack Snow underneath him as he jumps back. "Non, non, non!" Sol digs underground and appears next to Snow, wrapping himself around Snow's arm. "Salut."

"Creepy bastard!" Snow makes himself turn into a shadow, releasing Sol's grip.

"Huh?!" Sol is left confused.

"Enough playing around, Monsewer Sol!" Snow shouted, appearing again.

"That's Monsieur Sol." Sol kicks Snow back.

"This guy's stronger than he looks!" Snow jumps back, glaring at Sol.

"Tell me, I heard you had a twin brother. What ever happened to him?" Sol taunted him.

"Shut up!" Snow shouted as he charges at Sol. "Black Dragon's Destruction Fist!" He stops when he sees a medium-sized status of Acnologia. "Acnologia!"

"I took the liberty of reading through your memories when you stepped on me earlier!" Sol stated.

"You little...!" Snow growled.

"What a magnificent dragon you have. I wonder where he is right now?" Sol taunted. "Oh, my apologises. He abandoned you." Snow remembers the years he spent looking for Acnologia. "Oh, what a shame."

Snow growls as he shouts in anger, trying to forget his memories he locked up. His Magic Power gathers around him. "I can't let him get to me."

"Non, non, non! That's no good!" Sol strokes his mustache. Snow tries to get rid of his memories that haunted him, pulling on his hair. Snow gathers up his Magic Power, breathing heavily. "It seems you already used up a great deal of magic just now!"

"Dirty bastard..." Snow growled. "Face me fair and square with your fists!"

"Non, non, non!" Sol gathers up his Magic, creating a whirlwind of sand. "Platre Sonata!" A fist of plaster punches Snow, crashing through the wall, making a hole.

Mira notices Snow on the ground after being punched through the wall. "Snow!"

"Mira-chan... What... What are you doing there?!" Snow shouted.

"Oh? A close friend of yours? Does that mean she's Miss Mirajane, once feared as the "She-Devil"? Her magic has deteriorated so much. Poor girl." Sol slowly walks behind Snow. "She is being punished for trying to deceive us. She'll be crushed before long."

"Let her go!" Snow demanded, yelling at Sol.

"You are about to lose another friend who's like family to you. Because you are a powerless wizard with no heart!" Sol casts a Magic Spell on Snow. "I will not forgive you. Therefore, I will give you eternal torment. Sealing Magic: Merci la Vie! You will become a part of earth and wander inside your detestable memories forevermore!" Snow screams in pain as he is being cast under a spell.

"S-Stop!" Snow screamed.

While in a trance, Snow sees old memories of himself as a child.

Past...

"That's... me..." Snow remembers this day clearly.

It was a sunny day. A small child, about five years old, was reading a book in his room. He heard a crash in the living room and then arguing. Another boy, around the same age and looking exactly like Snow, runs into his brother's room, tears pouring down his face.

The young child quickly placed his book down as his brother runs into his arms. "Yuki... what's wrong?" Snow asked.

"Mommy and Daddy... They're fighting again..." Yuki sobbed.

Snow wraps his small arms around his look-alike. "Stop crying, Yuki... You know I hate it when you cry."

"I-I can't help it..." Yuki continues sobbing.

"It's going to be okay... Please don't cry..." Snow said.

"Yuki..." Snow smiles to himself as he remembers the memory.

Past...

This time, Snow sees himself looking around a burned up village looking around.

"Take the children! Slaughter the adults!" A child hunter shouted.

"Yuki! Where are you! Yuki!" Snow shouted for his brother.

"I'm over here!" Yuki heard a voice reply. He rushed over to the fallen wood as he sees his brother trapped. He lifts the wood as he grabs his brother, gently setting the wood back down.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" Snow asked.

"They're dead, Snow. I saw them get slaughtered by those evil men." Yuki replied, sobbing.

"Hey, hey. Don't cry. We need to hide." Snow informed.

"I think I hear children!" A child hunter shouted. Snow takes Yuki's hand as they began running. However, they were too slow as multiple child hunters pinned them to the ground.

"The child hunt..." Snow watches as he and his brother got captured.

Present...

Snow is almost completely covered in stone, unconscious. "Snow! Pull yourself together! Wake up, Snow!" Mira cried out.

Past...

Snow sees a bunch of children working on a tower as he trembles. "T-The Tower of Heaven..."

"Keep working! We need the Tower to be complete!" A man ordered.

Yuki drops to the ground, unable to keep up. Snow looks back and sees his brother. "Come on, Yuki. We need to keep moving."

"I-I can't do this anymore, Snow! They killed our parents and turned us into slaves! What more do they want?" Yuki said.

"Hey... I'm here, Yuki. You don't want to get in trouble." Snow said, hugging his brother.

"Don't leave me, Snow..." Yuki said.

"I won't. I'll always be here with you." Snow stated.

"Promise?"

"I promise. We won't ever be separated."

"I'm so sorry, brother... I broke that promise..." Snow talks to himself.

The scene changed as Snow saw himself in a cell with his brother and a few other children.

A guard opened the cell door and walked in. "All right. We know you were trying to escape. Which one of you brats came up with the plan?" He asked.

Snow stood up confidently, ready to take the punishment for his brother. "I did. I was the one who came up with the plan." He answered. Yuki was holding onto his arm and silently sobbed.

"How cute. But we know it was your brother who came up with it." The guard informed. "Grab him." Two more guards came in the cell and grabbed Yuki.

"Snow!" Yuki yelled.

"Yuki!" Snow called out for his brother.

Snow drops down to his knees and puts his hands in his face as he silently sobbed. "Don't take him... Take me instead... Don't take my brother away, you bastards...!" Snow shouted. "I've spent years building up a wall around me, making sure that no one broke through it. Because every time I care for someone, they end up dead..."

Present...

"Yuki..." Snow lets one tear out of his eye.

"Snow...!" Mira called out as Snow snaps back into conscious. "Snow! Pull yourself together!"

"Now, then! It's about time for the finale!" Sol said.

"Why...?" Snow growled.

"Oh?" Sol turns around and sees Snow's rage build up.

"I will kill you!" Snow shouted as his Magic Power builds around him.

"It's no use! You cannot simply defeat me with such weak magic!" Apparently, Sol gets knocked back as Snow releases his Magic Power. "My word!"

"Die..." Snow gives Sol a death glare, standing over him as his Magic Power increases. His appearance also looked different. His hair was a spiky dark blue and he had blue markings on his face.

"Dragon Force? I didn't know Snow could activate it by will!" Mira stated.

"Non, non, non..." Sol sweats nervously. "With three nons, this is misunderstanding! I gave you that ordeal to help you overcome your painful past! That's all! So bonsoir! I always knew you would overcome it!" Sol acts innocent and comes up with different reasons so Snow cannot kill him. "You know?" Snow growls at him as he slowly walks towards him. "So I'll just be going now..." Snow punches Sol backwards. "Curse you! Platre Sonata!" He attacks Snow, jumping down thinking he landed an attack. "Non, non, non! You let your guard down!"

Snow appears behind him, grabbing his head. "You let your guard down." He slams his head to the ground. "Die!" He punches him countless times.

"Snow...!" Mira gets worried for him.

"Oh... Oui..." Sol groaned. "Je t'aime... Non!" His soul leaves his body, but Snow catches it and puts it back so he can hurt him some more. "Non! At least knock me out!"

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Hell's Shadows!" A huge blast of blue light headed towards Sol, making a huge explosion. When the dust settled, Sol was now unconscious. Snow deactivated Dragon Force as his hair went back to white and the markings disappeared.

"Snow!" Mira cried out.

"That's right... I have to save Mira-chan...!" Snow runs outside, releasing her from the clutches of the Giant Mage.

"Thank you, Snow." Mira thanks Snow who softly smiles at her. The Giant Mage starts to slow down. "The magic circle it's drawing... It's slowed down!" Mira noticed. "The forbidden spell of the four elements... Abyss Break... The four elements... Fire, water, wind, earth..." She thinks about the elements and how the Giant Mage slowed down. "Snow! How many of the Element 4 are left?!"

"Huh? Let me think..." Snow thinks about it for a second. "There are two, I think..."

"That's it! The giant is slowing down because they've been beaten! Basically, the giant is powered by the four elements! If we defeat all of the Element 4, we can stop this spell!" Mira explained.

"Really?!" Snow exclaimed.

"Hurry! The remaining two should be inside the giant!" Mira and Snow go search for the two remaining members of the Element 4.

A/N: Yuki is another OC of mine that will be introduced during the Tower of Heaven Arc.

Also, Snow's Dragon Force form looks exactly like Acnologia's human form. I tried to describe it as much as I could.

Hope you enjoyed!
