Bold is for attacks.

Kanji's POV

I bolted forward and charged Diana.

"Demolition Fist!"

I nailed her in the stomach and sent her flying back again, when she hit the wall her body turned to dust.

"Sand Fake." She appeared behind me "Sand Dragon Talon!"

I kicked me in the back of the head and I fell to the ground. I jumped back up and roared at her. Diana ducked under it and came back at me quickly not missing a beat.

"Sand Dragon Claw!"

"Static Shield!"

I blocked her attack with a forcefield and pushed her back. Diana grabbed the ground and steadied herself quickly.

"I will beat you! Sand Dragon Pit!" she yelled.

The ground beneath me started becoming grains of sand and suck me in.

"Lightning Body!" I zipped into the air and avoided getting sucked in.

I stopped above her "Heavenward Halberd!"

I thew the lightning lance and there was a bright explosion. When the smoke cleared there was a hard dome left where Diana had been. The wind blew the sand away and she was unscathed.

"Sand Dragon Roar!"

"Lightning Dragon Roar!"

The two blasts collided and the air twinkled with light and dirt.

"RAH"

"GRHH!"

We both ran forward and traded punches.

"I'll kick your ass brat!" I yelled.

"You're washed up!" she yelled back.

"Why are you hanging around with jerks like them?!" I yelled punching her in the stomach.

"GAH-Cause they're my friends!" she said clocking me in the jaw.

"People who'd laugh at someone else's suffering are not good friends."

"I don't agree with everything they do but I will stand by them…" she glared

Her magic was wavering but mine was still fully charged.

"Electric Shotgun!"

I blasted her in the chest and blew her away.

"Friends or not I can't believe there is someone who'd stand by and watch another human being treated like that. Only dark guilds operate like that. Is that what Sabertooth is a glorified dark guild?!" I said as the clouds rumbled.

I landed on top of Diana and punched her in the face.

"Lightning Combination!"

I laid into her with a flurry of punches.

"How's it feel huh?!" I smirked.

"Sand Blaster!"

A gust of dirt blew me off her.

"You're right okay!" she yelled "They are assholes! Sting's an ass, Orga's loud, Rufus is annoying and self-absorbed, and Rouge is distant and offputting. But a friend is a friend and you taught me that."

She didn't mention Minerva…

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art." Diana pulled her arms back "Desert Storm!"

A dust devil appeared and churned the air. Diana was at the center of the tornado spinning the air around her.

"Is that all?" I asked as the air whipped around me "Grow a pair and stand up for what you believe in."

I pulled my hand back and concentrate my magic.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Reign of Thor!"

I huge bolt shot down from the clouds above and struck the green haired girl, that one shot made the sandstorm disappear.

"AHH!"

The air was calm and quiet. My strike had felled the girl and now she was silent. I looked over and saw a huge hole in the ground. I picked up my jacket and looked down the hole. Natsu was fighting Sting and Rouge all by himself.

"Aw what a big boy he can fight two opponents at once." I joked.

I knew Natsu didn't need my help to beat them. I was surprised when I saw the two combine their attacks and fire off one blast. Natsu took the attack and blew the two away.

"Fairy Tail Wins! They beat three Dragons!"

The points Natsu had gotten us put us one point above Sabertooth. We were in the lead now. I got up and went to head out of the arena. I looked my defeated opponent and shook my head.

"What happened to you…?" I mumbled "If you really are angry fight for change. Use that strength to get around any obstacle."

She let out a few sobs and nodded her head "I know…I don't know what to do…"

"If you don't like how she acted tell her that." I said walking away.

I left Diana there and went down the tunnel. Everyone was waiting for me there and Erza jumped into my arms and kissed me.

"You were incredible." She smiled.

"Well I try." I shrug.

"Alright you've had enough Red let me give my brother a hug."

Erza mumbled about something and let go. Lauren gave me a hug and stuck her tongue out at Erza.

"You little…" Erza mumbled.

I just sighed and we headed back to the bar.

Later

We were having our usual party at the bar. Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Michelle, and Wendy had gone off somewhere. Erza and I were chatting with Cana and my sister. Lauren barely had to lift a finger and various men were waiting on. She and Erza were giving each other nasty looks the entire night.

"Let's take a walk." I told Erza.

"Why don't you go Red, maybe you'll get lost?"

Her eyes looked like they were shooting beams at Lauren.

"Come on Erza." I said holding the door for her.

What is her problem?

"What is her problem?!" Erza snapped once we got outside.

"I was wondering the same thing." I laughed.

"Did I do something to upset her?" Erza asked.

"I don't think so." I said holding Erza's hand as we walked "I don't know why she's so mean to you. She gets along with the other girls."

I hugged Erza.

"No matter how she says or acts I'll still love you so what does it matter." I smiled.

Erza laid her head on my chest "Now that we have one team do you think we'll have to change inns?"

I smirked "I suppose I could drag my stuff across town to stay with you. I mean if you're that scared of being alone."

Erza leaned up and kissed me. We leaned back against a building and kissed. She giggled when I bit her lip and whispered in her ear.

"Naughty." Erza mumbled "You still have to wait a few more weeks…Then on the honeymoon…Hey wait where are we gonna go?"

"I hadn't thought about it." I shrugged "Where do you wanna go."

"The beach resort would be nice. We could go back there."

"You just went there for training." I said "What if we just stay at home for a few days."

"Not if your brother is living with us." Erza blushed.

"We can figure it out later."

I kissed her again "Let's head back to the bar.

"I'm tired carry me." Erza whined.

I scooped Erza up and she screamed.

"AH! Careful!"

"I would never drop a fair maiden like yourself." I joked "Where to Milady?"
