The day of the ill-fated Kuromorimine vs Pravda match:
"Welcome to the final of the 62nd National High school Sensha-do Tournament, We have our current champions, Kuromorimine Girls Academy, who will be against Pravda Girls High School. Commanders, vice commanders and Pilots please step forward for the opening ceremony." the announcer said. Maho, Miho and Natsu all stepped forward towards the Pravda delegation.
"We will win this time Nishizumi." the Pravda commander said.
"I don't think so, Katyusha," Maho said indifferently, "It will be no different from before, We will win."
"Well lets just see how it goes, yes?"
"Yeah of course,"
"Nonna, pick me up!" Katyusha said to the girl next to her. However the girl seemed distracted by something. "Hey Nonna listen to me, What are you looking at?" Looking at what ever she was distracted by, Katyusha was extremely surprised to see that it was the pink haired male standing next to the younger Nishizumi that had caught her vice-commander's attention.
Natsu was likewise entranced by the Black haired beauty that was standing in front of him, who was also staring back at him.
"Nonna we have to go!" Katyusha screamed as she finally got her attention.
"Oh Lady Katyusha, I'm sorry for not hearing you, my thoughts were somewhere else." Nonna said apologetically.
"It's fine now let's go we have to hurry so we can beat them." Katyusha said impatiently.
Nonna turned around while lifting Katyusha onto her shoulders and said "Do svidaniya" (Good bye).
Natsu smirked internally at her retreating figure before thinking, 'Well if all else fails at least I'll have a new mate.'
As they walked back to their starting area, Maho called out to Natsu and said, "Remember Natsu, these weather conditions might be dangerous for you so just be careful, Ok?"
"Yeah Ok, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine"
During the match:
Half way through the match a large storm started to brew. Lightning began striking the earth all around the battlefield. 'Hmm this lightning could be dangerous, I'll have to take out their dragon quickly so no one gets hurt. He immediately swooped down towards the place where he presumed the Pravda dragon to be.
He had to be careful as the lightning was getting gradually closer to his position.
Giving of a frustrated growl he quickly dived down as he spotted his target. Just like before he burst through the fake dragon with the bewildered pilot in his large paw. He tilted his head in confusion as the girl just stared at him, they stayed like that for a few seconds before the dragon broke the gaze and immediately placed the girl in the nearest Pravda position. Flying back up to altitude he spotted the Kuromorimine force driving along a cliff-side road.
"He immediately thought in worry, 'This could go either very well or extremely badly.'
However before he could continue the lightning finally found it's target as Natsu gasped as the lightning coursed through his entire body and his eyes rolled back into his head. His body went limp and he started to fall straight down towards the raging river.
As he fell in a gentle spiral he crashed into the dark waters creating a giant plume of water and began sinking towards the bottom.
Meanwhile on the ground:
In the flag tank Miho saw all that was happening and screamed to her shock and horror when Natsu crashed into the water. "NATSU, NO!"
"Miho don't get distracted, Natsu will be fine, it will take more than a bolt of lightning to take him down!" Maho said proudly.
"Ok sis, if you're sure," Miho said as she brought her focus back to the battle.
Again she gasped in shock as to her horror the panther in front of her tank started to lean precariously over the edge of the track. An enemy shell landed next to it dislodging the already fragile soil, which lead to the panther slowly start to slide down the slope before it crashed violently into the currents. It then started to sink with the crew still inside. Abandoning her post at as the commander she stumbled her way down the steep slope before diving into the freezing waters after the sinking tank. Widening her eyes she noticed that the tank had stopped sinking and was resting on something. After a few seconds the spines of her draconic brother appeared out of the murky water in front of her. She immediately swam to the hatch of the tank. Pulling it open the panicked occupants burst out and swam as quickly as they could to the surface. Bobbing up and down on the surface of the water Miho was dismayed to see the knock out flag on the turret of her tank. Then a announcement was played, "Kuromorimine flag tank eliminated, Which means that this years winners are Pravda Girls High School".
After hearing the announcement the submerged dragon's eyes flickered open and started thrashing underwater in confusion at having a strange weight on it's back but no one noticed as they were either celebrating or feeling disappointed in themselves.
Maho POV:
I just got back to the starting area, I was disappointed that we lost the tournament but that disappointment was, out weighed but the happiness and relief that my little sister is finally making her way in this world and choosing her own options.
Now all she needs is a boyfriend, not that any she finds will get my approval easily, not to mention they have to get through Natsu, speaking of Natsu he still hasn't come back from the battle worry began to build up in my heart as I hoped that he was ok.
Flashback a few minutes ago:
"...and Kuromorimine girls tankery team has lost the finals. Thank you all for joining us we hope to see you next year to see if Kuromorimine can reclaim their spot at the top again." The announcer's said at the end of the match, all I could think was Erika is going to ostracize her for losing.
End flashback:
I had a panicked look on my face, and I thought about how Miho was being Miho and how she made a choice that was right and wrong, at least wrong for mother even though she has been kinder since Natsu arrived in our lives. I thought about what Erika might do, and made my way to the hanger as fast as I could.
Five minutes later:
I finally reached the hanger and I heard Erika screaming her head off, I immediately stormed in.
"It's all your fault you stupid little girl, that we lost you should of let the girls in the panther die, no one would of faulted you, but you had to save them. You left your tank in a middle of the most important time of the tournament." Erika screamed at Miho who had her head down.
"I made a choice, for me it was the right one, if it was you Erika I would of done the same...' *SLAP* " Miho was cut off by Erika who had just slapped her and all hell broke loose girls screaming at each other left and right.
The sounds of flapping wings and the faint roar of a familiar dragon stopped all arguments as the crimson dragon burst through the still open door and flopped on the ground with smoke pouring of it in waves as lightning crackled around his head. To everyone's shock, the panther tank was still on his back from when it fell on him when he was in the river.
Abandoning the previous argument, all of the girls ran up to the downed dragon, before they started panicking about what to do. Taking lead Maho said, "Someone get the crane going, and we'll attach it to the tank and lift it off of him, hopefully before he changes to his human form." She ordered before whispering the last bit to herself.
After getting free from the tank, the dragon released a supercharged roar out of the open hangar doors, a 2km long stream of fire and lightning burst out of his mouth. It created a massive shockwave that blew the girls away. Once he had released all of the power he gained from the lightning blast, the dragon immediately began to shrink down until Natsu in his human form was revealed.
He then said, "I hope you don't say that again, Erika-chan and I hope that you apologise to Miho or we might have some problems, Ok?" Natsu said sternly.
"H-hai," Erika stuttered nervously. "Miho, I'm sorry for what I said and did, I hope you can forgive me."
"It's ok Erika san, you're forgiven as well." Miho said kindly despite having just been slapped.
Natsu then said, "That's good, I forgive you as well Erika for what you did but just don't do it again, Ok?" Erika quickly nodded her head keeping her head down in shame. Natsu then carried on saying, "and Miho, do not feel restricted by what us, you should always do what you think is best for you, ok?"
"Yes, I understand Oni-san." Miho said cheerfully.
They were about to continue their conversation when they were disturbed by a quiet coughing sound that slightly echoed around the hangar.
Turning around they were al, surprised to see Pravda's vice commander standing there with a nervous expression on her face.
"Oh hi Nonna, how are you doing?" Natsu said cheerfully.
"Umm I'm doing fine, it's just that I wanted to speak with you privately if that would be ok?" She said with a hint of red to her cheeks.
"Yeah sure what is it?"
"I-it's just that I-I kind of l-like y-you."
"I like you to Nonna but there is something you should know."
"What is it?"
"As a dragon I have to have a mate, but since I am a dragon king I have to have many mates so my bloodline can continue, this means that I have to have a harem. After knowing this are you willing to go through with it or suffer the heart break?"
"Yes I would like to join your h-harem."
"Ok would you like to give me your mate mark now or later?"
"Now please."
"Ok, I will just have to bite you on the neck and then your my mate."
"Ok" she said as she revealed her neck to him.
"Well here goes..." he said as he leaned forward while coating his elongated fangs in magic.
As he bit down on her neck Nonna gave a loud erotic moan as she blushed madly.
"Great now we have more competition," Said Erika in a fake annoyed tone.
"Well that was to be expected wasn't it, after all he is the only dragon on the planet so that automatically makes him the dragon king." Maho said amusedly.
The next day:
"Maho, Natsu, I would like to transfer to a different school, if it's all right with you." Miho asked hesitantly.
"Of course, we can do that, if that's what you want, but we will all miss you here though." Maho said sadly.
"I'll miss you to, Nee-san and Onii-san." Miho said with tears in her eyes.
"Come here little sis," Natsu said as he opened his arms for a hug. Miho ran forward and threw herself into their arms as she cried softly.
"Go Miho, go out and find yourself and when you do we'll be right here waiting." Maho said encouragingly.
"We'll come visit you when you settle in to your new home." Natsu said.
"Ok goodbye, see you later. I'll miss you all!" Miho said as she ran out of the house to the waiting taxi that would take her to the start of her new life. Stopping she turned around to wave a final goodbye to her two siblings before getting in the taxi and leaving.
From that day onwards Miho promised herself that she would never do tankery again and Maho promised herself and her mother that they would win the next tournament and Natsu, well he became known by the public as the Lightning flame dragon king after the roar he gave off in the hangar.
