Chapter 9! Review!

I don't own Fairy Tail.

Oak town.

Kiryu found Elfman and Mirajane shortly after his engagement with the thugs from Black Serpent and tells them what happened.

"That's not good." Says Elfman.

"Yeah we need to do something." Mira says worried.

"I should have forced them to tell me where they're based at." Kiryu responds.

Elfman turns to him with a pissed off look.

"A real man would have done that!" He says.

Kiryu gave him a menacing glare, if he tried any harder, he would have burnt holes the size of golf balls into him.

"Elfman! He was trying to protect May!" Mira intervened.

Elfman looks at the ground. "Sorry."

Kiryu looks at Mira. "We should head back to the innl. They might be coming with more of their guys."

"Good idea." She replies.

As the four of them head back, Elfman stays where he is at. At this point, Mirajane was irritated.

"Elfman." She says angrily.

Elfman rolls his eyes and begins to follow.

As they walk, they take in the sights of the town. It was peaceful, it was nothing like the bustling streets of Magnolia. Every now and then they would get waves from the townsfolk, in which they would respond with a friendly wave. May gently tugs Miras sleeve. When she gets her attention, she points at her, and then points at Elfman. Even though there were no words being spoken, Mira knew what she was trying to say.

"Yep, he's my brother." She says happily.

May then points at herself then to Kiryu. Mira giggles then looks at Kiryu with a smile.

"She thinks you're her brother Kiryu."

When he hears this he looks away. Mira looks at him concerned.

He's trying not to get attached. I'm pretty sure he has done that ever since he left.

They soon get back to the inn and head to the girls room. May goes to bed and the three teenagers talk about their next move. Kiryu looks out and into the hall before they get down to business.

"We should stick with our original plan and take shifts between staying here and getting information. That way we don't need to worry about things going too bad." Elfman says.

"Divide and conquer." Says Kiryu.

"Exactly."

May sits up in the bed. Mira looks over at her.

"You can't sleep?" She asks.

May nods.

Kiryu sits at the end of the bed and takes a harmonica out of his pocket. Mira looks at him surprised.

"You learned to play?" She asks.

"Yeah, while I was away, i learned to play from a traveling band. I didn't think I would get the chance to play it. But, after seeing you hum her to sleep, I kinda want to see how good I am."

He takes a moment to take a few deep breaths and puts the small instrument to his mouth. A calming tune began to fill the air. It wasn't really any specific song, it was just a quiet tune. During this, Mira had sat next to May and held her hand. Elfman took a seat in one of the chairs in the room. The tune continues, and it felt as if the entire town had gone silent.

Outside, people lit the light posts that lined the roads of the small town. The lights gave it a calm hue as it illuminated everything around it. The towns people began to go home for the night. Soon, it felt as if the town had emptied, only to be filled with the sound of a lonely harmonica. Back in the room, May and Mira had fallen asleep, still holding each others hands. With that, Kiryu calmly finished the song.

He puts the small instrument back into his pocket and puts a blanket over them. Elfman began to move towards the door with Kiryu close behind him, and they head back to their room. The door closed and the room went silent. Volk laid at the foot of Kiryus bed, soundly asleep. Kiryu is about to get ready for bed until Elfman stops him.

"Listen, I need to apologize for earlier. I still haven't gotten over what happened, and its not right for me to be angry over it."

Kiryu looks back at him. Without saying a word, he heads to the restroom to change. After closing the door he looks into the mirror.

What did he want me to say? 'Oh it's okay! Everything is fine and dandy!'?

He puts his hand underneath his bangs and covers his left eye.

What would it be like if that day never happened?

It has been three days since Kiryu encountered the Black Serpent thugs. Since then they would take turns guarding May and going out and looking for information on the dark guilds base. Though they had little success, they still searched. While this was happening they would take May to do something. Elfman would take her to eat, Mira would go to a meadow outside of town and they would braid each others' hair, and Kiryu would go and explore what the town had to offer. On the fourth day, Kiryu and May had explored all the way to the edge of town. He turns to the young blonde. "Let's head back."

May nods. They turn to leave when May suddenly trips on a rock. She falls to the ground and lets out a small help. Kiryu kneels down to see that she had scraped her hand from trying to break the fall. He inspects the wound, and wraps it with a bandanna he had on him.

"You need to be more careful okay?"

May nods happily.

They head back and see Mira and Elfman standing outside the inn with a watchful Volk. They join them and Kiryu scratches Volk behind the ears. Mira then sees the scratch on May's hand and begins to worry.

"What happened?"

"She scraped her hand from trying to break a fall. I wrapped it up so it should be fine." He responds. Elfman sighs.

"I got some good news. Black Serpents base of operations is a few miles west from here."

"I sent a letter to the Magic Council. Our mission here will be over soon." Mira says.

Kiryu crosses his arms and sulks.

"Man. I wanted to go teach them a lesson."

Mira laughs a little. "Wow you're starting to sound like Natsu!" She jokes.

Elfman and May laugh and Kiryu begins to pout.

"Not funny."

Then Kiryu remembered something.

"Hey did you guys figure out who Mays' parents are?" He asks.

The two siblings think for a moment.

"No I haven't."

"Yeah I don't think anyone we asked knew about her." Elfman says.

Kiryu scratches the back of his head and looks at May.

"So what are we supposed to do with her?" He asks.

"It's simple." Mira says as she gets down to Mays' level.

"We'll take her to Fairy Tail!"

Elfman and Kiryu nod in agreement. May seemed to be happy with it. Mira stands back up. "Well. Since its probably going to be the last day we are here, we should go do something."

"Yeah, good idea." says Elfman.

"Sounds good, let me grab my sword real quick." Kiryu is about to open the door when Mira grabs his arm. Kiryu looks confused for a second until the white haired female smiles at him. "You won't need it! Don't worry." She says happily.

Kiryu sighs. "Fine."

Mira smiles happily and the five of them leave.

A figure watches Kiryu and the others leave the inn. Soon he is joined by a second.

"Status." The second figure demands.

"They are going to go do something. I don't know where though." The first responds.

"Alright then. Go tell Hanz that they are on the move and the time should be now. I will continue recon."

"Got it."

The first runs off and the second follows the group from the shadows.

The group found themselves at a small restaurant on the corner of a street(kinda like the one where Erza and Bisca met at.). After ordering food, Elfman noticed how Volk disappeared.

"Hey where did Volk go?"

Kiryu looks over at him. "Wolves love open space. I usually let him go off and do his own thing and he comes back later."

"I see. It makes sense."

While this was happening Mira was having a conversation with May. Kiryu looks over at them.

Mira has gotten really close to May. Reminds me a little about-...?

Kiryus eyes had strayed to look out the window. There were about 50 thugs on his left side outside the restaurant. Without making it too obvious, he looked at the entrance, and then to his right. In all there were about 100 thugs, all armed to the teeth. Kiryu looks over to one of the thugs and saw a guild mark in the shape of a Serpent. Looking around the restaurant, the waitress was gone and there were no other customers.

Damn it! Those guys wanted to get us here alone!

He finds a napkin and a pen and begins to scribble on it and puts it on the table, still trying not to be obvious.

Stay calm. Black Serpent is here. When I say run, take May and leave out back.

Elfman sees it, and transforms his fist under the table.

They wait for what seems like hours. The sun was beginning to fall behind the buildings. They wait.

They want us to make the first move. But I think we can be patient.

When the "waiting game" started, it was about 530, now its 610. The sun soon disappeared behind the building.

A scrawny man ran to the window with a lighter and an unknown object in his hand. Kiryu quickly takes a better look.

Dynamite! Damn it!

The dynamite is thrown through the window.

Kiryu springs into action and Elfman covers Mira and May. Standing on the seat, Kiryu takes a deep breath.

"Star Dragon Roar!"

The roar sends the dynamite out the window and the force from the blast takes out about 20 of the attackers.

"RUN!"

Mira piggybacks May out the back door with the speed of a gazelle. Elfman turns both of his arms with his best soul magic. More TNT was thrown and blew two holes into the walls on the opposite side of the restaurant. The thugs began to pour in, most carried weapons with magic in them.

"Go with them, they will need help." Kiryu tells Elfman.

Elfman scoffs. "You forgot how strong Mira is. They will be fine. Besides……"

Elfman cracks his knuckles. "It wouldn't be manly to leave a friend behind."

Kiryu chuckles. "Makes sense."

He steps forward, his dragon slayer magic pouring out of his fist.

"So…… who's first?"

The thugs charge weapons ready.

Man I wish I brought my sword.

(Begin Godzilla By Eminem)

Elfman rushes towards the thugs and takes out 3 of them one swing of his fist. Another rushes him with a magic sword but he is grabbed by the head. Elfman throws him into a few of the thugs that carried long range weapons. A bunch of them dogpile him but are thrown aside like rag dolls. The other thugs look at him, scared for their lives as he throws punches towards them.

On the other hand, Kiryu kicked a thug in the head and jumps out the window to fight the ones outside. In no time flat, they had surrounded him. Three thugs rush him from different directions, but Kiryu jumps up and lands on their heads. He jumps up again and sends a roar that takes out more of them. He lands back on the ground to have a thug about to slice his chest with a knife. Kiryu sees this coming and grabs the mans wrist. Slowly crushing it, he looks up.

"Are you afraid?"

The man looks in fear.

"That's what you get when you mess with the wrong family."

Kiryu gut punches him and knocks him out. The other thugs look at him afraid.

"This guys crazy!"

"He's a monster!"

"What do we do!?"

"Dont worry! Its only one punk! Rush him!"

The thugs charge. After a few seconds, Kiryu fights his way to one side of the circle. He swings his fists and kicks his way to there until they are all behind him. He quickly turns to face the and puts his palm out.

"Star Dragon Meteor Blast!"

The blast sends most of the group flying down the street, only leaving a small number behind.

In the restaurant, Elfman kept punching thugs left and right, eventually warring him out.

"This doesn't look good." He says.

"Elfman!" Kiryu shouts.

Elfman looks over to see Kiryu kicking a thug right across the forehead. Afterwards he holds his hands out.

"Duck!"

Elfman hits the floor of the restaurant.

"Star Dragon Light Speed blast!"

Small blasts the size of soft balls shot from Kiryus hands and began to hit every remaining thugs. 10 of them began to run out of town, but the attack is like a heat seeking missile, it followed them and knocked them out. Elfman punches one more thug square in the face and knocks him out.

The two wizards find themselves back to back. They look around and see that all of them are taken out. Elfman gives Kiryu a fist bump.

"Nice job man. I'm glad we are on the same side."

"All according to plan." Kiryu says jokingly.

(End song)

They look at the destruction around them. The restaurant had lost most of the walls, tables were knocked over, shrapnel had caused damage to nearby buildings and homes, there was a huge blast mark in the ground from Kiryu, and the 100 or so men laid unconscious all over the street and the restaurant floor.

They continued to look around then they look at each other.

"Mira and May!" They shout in unison.

They turn to look to find them. But not in a good way. A huge man was dragging a beaten Mira by her hair and had May by her throat.

"You bastard!" Shouts Elfman.

"Let them go!" Says an angry Kiryu.

The buff man laughs.

"Fine. I'll let them go, but before I do, I'm taking this girl." He says holding up May by her throat.

"Over my dead body." Kiryu says.

The man laughs. "Okay, I'll show you what happens when you talk big to Hanz "the Serpents fist"!" (A/N: I know it's not that good, it was the only thing I could come up with.).

Hanz moved with incredible speed, going behind Kiryu and slamming his large fist into the back of his head, sending Kiryu to the ground.

"Kiryu!" Shouts Elfman. He activates his beast soul. His fist nearly connects to Hanzs face but he was too quick and Elfman is punched in the gut. He goes out cold.

Kiryus vision begins to fade.

No. I need to do something.

It begins to get dark.

Damn it.

Two thugs appear in front of Hanz.

"Take care of them."

As he disappears behind a building, the two approaches the two injured men.

This isn't good.As he watches them approach, Kiryu notices something behind part of the destroyed wall. A white shape appears.

Volk.

That's another chapter over. I might be making Kiryu op as hell. Review and tell me you guys thoughts on it!
