Baylee stood not outside her face serious and straight. Her hair lightly flowed in the wind as she stared at the Dragon slayers who approached her seriously.
"Are you ready to lose?" Natsu called giving his signature grin. She laughed, she was visibly amused but internally she was prepared to hold back. If she let lose there was no way the boys would survive. She reached up unclasping the cloak from around her neck and letting it fall behind her to the ground.
"Are you ready to take on a Wizard Saint? The rules to this battle are standard. The prize if you two win are as follows, I will show you to the nearest dragon, and you will take my place in the Wizard Saints. However if you fail to defeat me, I continue on with my quest and you will wait until i return to bother me. Agreed?" She said. Her face was straight and eyes intimidating. She stood casually despite her expression. Both eyes of the two dragon slayers widened. They didn't believe she was serious, if they won they would get to see a dragon and become a wizard saint? But what number? How strong was this mysterious new member?
"Agreed shorty let's get this over with" Gajeel's fist was already iron as he ran forward. "Iron Dragon's Iron fist!" his hand shot towards the girl who didn't even flinch. Dir kicked up as he ran but as he settled the only thing they saw was her holding his fist in one hand with not even a scratch.
"Is that all you've got? How pathetic" Her voice seemed lower and much more cynical. "Metalicanas boy? Tch. I expected someone stronger" She threw him to the side effortlessly watching as he hit a nearby tree. "Such a shame I was expecting at least a little bit of a challenge." She looked at Natsu with eyes that seemed inhuman, challenging and daring him to come at her. Feeling provoked, he gathered up his breath and let out a roar of fire before charging at her. He swung his foot around landing a kick to her side moving her slightly. "Mm, Igneel's boy's got some bite to his bark." she smirked and dusted herself off. "Too bad I don't feel like playing right now or this would be so much fun. Now is it my turn?" She asked as both boys came at her giving it all they had. When they backed up they gasped seeing her without a scratch. They looked at each other with wide eyes. They were giving this everything, yet their everything was nothing. But as they looked closer they noticed small scales now present on her arms, cheeks and legs colored silver and red. "My turn? Fantastic" her eyes were dragon-like. "Fire Iron Dragon song." Her eyes closed as a magic circle appeared underneath her.
Her skin began to glow brightly, when the glow subsided she had changed. She wore a long sleeved, black, skin tight, dress that ended mid thigh with red and black tights and ankle combat boots. She opened her eyes revealing a fiery red iris and a cold steel grinned widely as the magic circle split into two separate ones, those of which moved underneath the two unsuspecting dragon slayers. Then she opened her mouth.
Your whispering as if I can't hear
Too bad for you I won't shed a tear
Every step I take
I leave a scorching trail
Black sulfur
Burnt iron licks my heels
You look at me and bring me down
Guess who's luck turned around?
Her voice enchanted those who were listening, yet the two slayers seemed to be in pain. Everyone could tell they were trying thier best to fight the urge of covering their ears. She continued.
I'm gonna show you how hard this will be
I'll leave my mark on this city
I'm Branding your mind with my sincerity
I'm a fire Iron baby I can't be beat
The slayers were immobile, shaking as they tried to move only to find they couldn't. What the hell? Why can't I move? Gajeel thought trying to step forward. Is she doing this to us? But she isn't even attacking! Natsu thought as he tried to move.
The heat of your words can't phase me
The swing of your blade doesn't hurt
You're all bark and no bite
This is some kind of fight
When you're ready
I'm ready
Come and get it honey honey
Something changed in the song. The slayers were brought to their knees both surrounded by sound. That doesn't sound like it would hurt does it? Of course not, but the magic laced with the words changed something in them. Natsu could feel the heat, he was physically being burned and could feel his magic power draining. Gajeel was being cut up and bruised, he couldn't change his skin to iron.
You can see how hard this is
I won't let you continue this business
I won't see another person face defeat
Now you're nervous
Now You're scared
It's the fate of being unprepared
I'm the flames at your feet
Scalding them
I'm a fire iron, baby
You best be aware
The boys were now squirming and screaming. This wasn't supposed to happen, they were being hurt by a magic they had mastered. It wasn't possible, yet it was happening. Was this the mysterious girl's magic power?
You're running now
Your game came to an end
I'm a Fire Iron, Baby
I'm Here to defend
The weak and unlucky
The meek and the odd
I won't rest
Like the Best
I Defend
I'm a Fire Iron, Baby
A smirk was present on her face as she stared at the two boys who were in agony. She wasn't sadistic, she really wasn't but, when a female dragon slayer uses the song they take on the dominant trait of the dragon. In this case dragons. But being cocky and rudeness as two dominant attributes inside you wasn't the best combination.
I Win.
She smiled as the song ended but it quickly faded as the magic wore off. She ran to the two unconscious boys and started using her healing magic.
"I'm sorry, I took it way too far…" she said softly "They'll be fine in about an hour. Please forgive me" she was oddly soft when she spoke. She stood, pulling her cloak back on before taking the job once again and walking away.
"I'll be home in a month no more no less" She waved.
