so here is the 12th chapter of Assassins War and I hope you enjoy it! :)


Last Chapter:

"Couldn't hurt to try I guess," Gray muttered to himself,"Hey wait for me!" He called as he followed Laxus outside.

Back with the two idiots

The yeti hit the ground with a loud crash bringing down a little of the mountain with it.

"We have to see if there alright." Natsu said starting off for the woods.

"Ill check over here!" Gajeel called , turning to were Violet and Topaz were crouched. Violet gave Topaz a meaningful node, and creeped silently away in search of Natsu, leaving Topaz alone.

"Hey Squirt you in there?" called Gajeel. Topaz crouched in the undergrowth waiting for Gajeel to wander in front of her.

"Hope their okay..." Gajeel said to himself as he walked closer to the undergrowth.

Topaz silently readied her dual swords,"Finally I get to use these again," She had almost forgotten she had them. She ponced lunging for his legs first, hoping to cause him to loose his balance which would give her the upper hand and an opportunity for a quick kill.

Gajeel instinctively dodged the unknown attacker,"What the-" he sputtered regaining his balance. He whipped around to reveal he was caught off guard by a short, cloaked swordsman wearing a red and white mask. "Who are you!" He wondered. Topaz didn't utter a word. She lunged at Gajeel again hitting him with relentless slashes of her swords. After a few unpleasant hits, Gajeel stopped both swords with one iornclub. "Okay now I'm mad." He said,"Who are you!"

Topaz jumped back to create a little distance between them. She muttered some words and water came from her hands and surrounded the swords so she could cut through anything, even iron. She lunged at Gajeel once again.

This time Gajeel wasn't taking a chance, those water swords didn't look good for his health. He waited till the last moment then sidestepped, he took a few extra strides for good measure. "What did you do to Topaz and Violet!" He yelled. Topaz still offered no reply. She muttered her usual words again and a chain of water connected toe swords. She threw one at Gajeel marked straight for his heart. No more Mr. Nice Dragon Slayer, Gajeel had to do more than just defense. He hit the ground, only just missing the flying water sword, then he did a somersault that put him up close and personal with his opponent, he delivered a hard blow right in their stomach, sending the masked man flying backwards.

Topaz felt a little blood drip down from the corner from her mouth. She formed a pistol with her hands, and with her special words again she shot water bullets from her fingertips. After she shot a round she lunged at Gajeel hoping to catch him off guard while he dodged her bullets. Gajeel dodged the water easily, but didn't anticipate Topaz. She hesitated, for only a moment and slashed at Gajeel hitting him in his chest. In that moment Topaz's mind raced.

"Why," she thought. She felt close to these people, and when she thought about hurting them she didn't bat an eye, but now. She wished she was anywhere but here. She didnt want to hurt the people who took care of her when she was sick.

She didn't want it. But she knew she had to do it.

The attack didn't do as much damage as it would have were Gajeel not in his dragon force, but it still stung.

"Iron dragon roar!" He yelled.

He said and I was to close so I couldn't dodge. He hit Topaz in the leg.

It hit and Topaz heard a crack. She stumbled backwards a bit and tested to see how much weight she could put on it.

She leaned to her right foot, and soon felt a sharp stabbing pain run up her spine, "Not a lot apparently.." She got in a stance that would work best and prepared to attack, or defend.

Gajeel smirked"Gihihi, finally gotcha."


Violet left Topaz to handle Gajeel. She hoped nothing bad would happen, but she had a target of her own.

"Vi!" Natsu yelled out,"Vi, if you can hear me come out!"

This is it she thought I'm sorry she whispered. And emerged from the undergrowth.

"Who are you?" He asked," Have you seen my friend, Vi.

Friend the word rung in Violet's ears he saw her as a friend. She bit her lip to keep from answering. She sprinted towards him, landing a punch in his chest.

Natsu was pushed back some. "Did you take Vi!" He yelled." What did you do, to my friends!" He threw a punch at the masked stranger.

Violet dogged easily and again said nothing.

"Fire dragon wing attack!" Natsu yelled lunging at Violet again.

This time she wasn't so lucky. She didn't give the fire a wide enough birth. It hit her outset her hand had some nasty looking burns.

"Where are my friends!" Natsu yelled again.

She didn't answer and hummed a carefree tune. Maybe her silver tongue could make Natsu lose the will to fight.

"Where are they!" He yelled running forward." Fire Dragon Iron fist!" He aimed for her stomach.

Violet felt the air leave her lungs. Her body hit a tree. Hard. Pain flooded her midsection as she slid to the ground

"Natsu!" Happy yelled at his friend," if you hurt them too bad they won't be able to tell you where Topaz and Violet are."

They care about me and Topaz. She tried the carefree tune again but this time added lyrics. That should double the power.

"Happy I wanna go find some food, I'm hungry." Natsu said facing his blue furry friend. That statement earned Natsu a punch on the heard from the cat.

"Idiot!" Happy yelled," focus on finding our friends!"

Violet crawled away silently.

"Uh!" Natsu said sounding confused"she's gone." He turned and looked at Happy.

Violet came on Natsu from behind with a trough knife and grabbed Happy around the neck.

"Happy!" Natsu yelled another friend was taken from his side.

Violet held the dagger to a wriggling Happy's throat.

"Let him go." Natsu growled, his bangs covering his eyes.

Happy whimpered. Natsu glared at her, waiting for her to obey. She had to kill Happy. There had to be no witnesses. There would be be no witnesses. She used silver tongue to distort her voice, she sounded like a man. "No witnesses." She said firmly.

"Witness for what?" Natsu and Happy asked dumbfounded

"The death of Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox." She said, hoping the spell would hide the grief.

"If there's going to be no witnesses then why are you wearing masks?" Natsu asked looking Violet directly in the eyes.

What kind of question is that she thought. She loosened her grip on Happy but not enough for him to slip free.

"I think it's because you're ashamed." He said his eyes unwavering.

Violet wanted to throw up. She tightened her grip on Happy. She hover the knife over Happy's throat, her hand shaking. The blade was touching his soft fur.

"No Happy!" Natsu shouted, his face showing concern, and anger," put him down and leave him alone!"

With a single swift movement, Violet flipped the knife around and brought the hilt to Happy's head. He went limp. She threw his body on the ground to her right.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled pure anger lasted all over his face.


"All right let's finish this," Gajeel said roiling one shoulder as he watched his opponent attempt to stand.

Topaz tried to put as little weight as possible on her right foot she extended her water to connect her two swords again so she could fight without much movement.

Gajeel sprung forward with impossible agility. "Iron Dragon Iron Fist!" He yelled.

Topaz was hit and flew backwards and soon slammed into something hard or rather someone.

Topaz?! Violet knew her anywhere, somehow she was now back to back with her comrade.

"Well look who finally decided to show up." Said Gajeel, smirking at Natsu.

"Hey iron head I was here first get lost!" Natsu yelled back.

Gajeel noted that someone was missing "hey where's Happy at. Shouldn't he be helping."

Natsu growled and pointed behind him to the limp, but not dead form of happy.

"Really just to get him mad." Topaz whispered to Violet.

"I didn't know anyone could get this mad regardless of what happened to them." She answered, looking up to Natsu's furious eyes.

"Anyways, they took Violet and Topaz." Natsu said.

"How the heck do you know that." Gajeel challenged.

"He said no witnesses, and he started to take happy." Natsu answered back.

"Well they must not be very good at their job then" Gajeel said, looking to were Happy lie "he's just knocked out right?"

"Yeah, but that guy almost killed him, a knife pressed to the throat." Natsu said sticking out his finger and pointing to Violet.

"What made him stop?" Gajeel asked, intrigued.

"Well I said some stuff about if they had no witnesses then why the masks." Natsu said starting to explain." And I said it was probably because he are ashamed and he started to,shake and hesitate."

"What." Topaz harshly whispered to Violet.

"He's right isn't he?" Violet defended.

"I don't know anymore" Topaz whispered looking up at the tree branches.

"Are we gonna talk all day or are we gonna find out what these creeps want?" Said Gajeel.

"Fine." Natsu growled again looking down at their two opponents.

"You still remember pattern X?" Asked Violet.

"Yeah, I'll take defense." Topaz whispered back.

Violet pulled her arms trough Topaz's elbows, preparing to stand in unison.

"1….2…..3" Topaz counted, they both pressed against each other and effortlessly stood.

Violet lunged for Natsu while they still had the element of surprise. She slashed her knife at his face.

Natsu reached out and grabbed her wrist and flung her over his shoulder landing her back on the ground.

Topaz on the other hand launched one of her swords at Gajeel the water chain still in place. He dodged and snatched the chain, he yanked at it. Hard. She felt her feet leave the ground as she traveled towards Gajeel. She landed hard on her right foot, and let out a scream crumpling into the dirt.

"You're a girl!" Gajeel said dumbfounded.

Violet ran past Natsu like he wasn't even there and stood between Topaz and Gajeel. "Are you okay!" She yelled franticly, this time forgetting to distort her voice.

"Their both girls!" Natsu yelled now confused." But you were a guy, your voice, it belonged, it was-"

Violet recast the spell "it was a man's?"

"Uh." Was all Natsu could respond with.

Violet looked at Topaz. No way she could fight like this.

Topaz was breathing heavily trying not to let out another scream from the pain. She extended her arms and tried to push herself off the ground.

"Hey Natsu I'm sending this one back to you," Gajeel said. Before Violet could comprehend what he meant she turned to "Iron dragon Iron Fist!" She heard a snap followed by fire. She flew over Topaz and landed at Natsu's feet. She had left Topaz.

Topaz felt a strong sturdy arm wrap around her and the ground disappeared beneath her. Her hands were restrained with his before she could make any effort to get away. She was trapped.

Violet watched as her comrade was lifted by her target. She turned and tried to crawl away from Natsu. Gajeel was being gentle, Topaz was badly hurt. Violet was so relieved she wanted to cry, but she knew there would be no such tenderness for her. Not after what she did to Happy. She couldn't move with out letting out a cry. Natsu looked at her and pinned her to the ground. He was too strong, she couldn't do anything to stop him.

"Let's see who took Squirt and Vi." Both men reached for the masks.
