Hmm… As I thought, Code Geass is the best anime. Currently rewatching it, and I still love it to bits. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ANIME TO EVERYONE. ROMANCE, SCI-FI, ACTION, ADVENTURE, ORGANIZATION, PHYSCOLOGY, CERTAIN ALIEN POWERS, TWISTS AND TURNS AT EVERY EPISODE, MUST WATCH! At the end of season one, it may seem like the story is all screwed up, but I promise you, it has to be like that to make the ending of season two the best in any anime. Again, MUST WATCH! TILL THE VERY END! Also, I updated the summary because I thought it would be more fitting, and more interesting. I hope you guys agree
(Mirajane's POV)
"TEME! Bastard! Back off!" A flying dash of silver collided with Natsu, sending him crashing into the tree behind him. "Oi, Elfman! Get a hold of yourself! We'll gang up on him, and get the reward money!" Mirajane blinked.
"You didn't get knocked out did you?" She poked at the lifeless boy with her finger. Then she kicked him. "Wow, you were pretty useless against him. Whatever, not like it matters, I'll just take care of this guy myself!" She turned to the other shadowy boy, and glared.
"Surrender or get beat up! You choose!" Jumping into the air, Mirajane aimed a kick at Natsu's face. Falling to his knees and avoiding the attack, the boy hopped back to his feet, fists blazing. Mirajane managed to twist her body to the side to avoid the full brunt of the blow, but her clothes were still singed and her stomach received the same bruises as Elfman.
'Kasai!? Fire!? Around his hands!? Impossible!' The eldest of the Strauss family whizzed by, and utilized her feet to rebound back at Natsu. She was met with a spinning roundhouse kick, but this time she grabbed his legs and pushed them over, landing behind him. Quickly she struck, and planted three blows, but the forth was deflected, and Natsu came at her with his hands again. He struck a blow of his own, but she quickly recovered from that and struck him in the shins.
Immediately, both were sprawling on the floor, nursing their injured legs.
'What the hell is her/his body made of!?' Mirajane had attacked a natural weaker part of the human body, but she felt as though she had slammed into Gildarts. Steel poles couldn't compare. Natsu felt as if he was dying. That was dirty, attacking the shins!
"Just who are you?" The figure kept attacking, ignoring the question. "Well then, I'll just have to beat the answer out of you wont I?" She sounded cocky, but in truth she was just barely keeping up.
'Time to get a little serious' "Satan Soul!"
Her body shimmered as her she went over a series of changes. Her feet and hands became claws; her back sprouted jet black bat-like wings, her silvery hair stood up, and her face cracked slightly.
"Eat this!" Gathering a dark ball of energy in her palm, she threw it at Natsu, but he backed up quickly. The energy ball exploded upon contact with the ground.
"Keh!" Mirajane grunted. "Well then how bout this!" Four more of the same spheres appeared in the air, all hurtling toward Natsu. Hiding behind trees, and leaping at the last moment, he once again managed to avoid serious injury. Mirajane roared furiously.
"STAY STILL DAMNIT!" Natsu wasn't about to listen to such a request.
(Natsu's POV)
What was this insane devil? She was attacking him left and right, with those black ball thingies. What did he do? Okay sure, the man with the same silver hair had fought him and he had beaten him up, but he had attacked first. So why was the lady so angry? Maybe she was drunk?
Blam
That was another explosion. Okay, he could make stuff blow up too!
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" Pure heat jetted from his mouth, and he blew with all his might.
"What the—!?" The flames engulfed the she-devil, and everything in the immediate area was burned. Except for that other guy, Natsu had made sure not to harm him.
'Ha! I got her!' But when he got closer to inspect the damage, the claw shot out of the smoke, and nearly got a hold of Natsu's neck. He ducked at shot forward, intent on head butting her. But he passed through the smoke and landed on his face.
"Pwhhfrrggg" He cried in surprise, mouth full of dirt and all sorts of crawling things.
"Ha! Nice try! But you'll have to do better than that you stupid fire mage!" The offended boy indignantly pointed at Mirajane, yelling curses and taunts of his own. But the string of words became meaningless, as he could not speak with his mouth full.
"HRMREFURGERGR!" Mirajane answered with her foot in his face.
"No idea what your talking about!" Retaliating with his own punches, their fight resumed, only with more insults and anger. Throwing caution to the wind, Mirajane tossed Natsu into the sky, and flew after him.
"Try to run away from this, you apple thief!" Thief? Oh, that must be why she was so angry with him. He knew he shouldn't have just spat out seeds and told everyone where was like an idiot! In thought, Natsu didn't realize that the devil was already upon him. She attacked him with her fists and feet; battering him hard enough he stayed in the air each time he was struck. With the final blow, Natsu's face was painfully reunited with the earth.
"Don't even think about running away now, your in no condition to be—"
"Fire Dragons Wing!" Natsu soared after Mirajane, arms enwrapped in flame, but this time they left a trail, making him look like… A Dragon?
Wham
Natsu hand crushed her stomach. Mirajane swore. She had been too distracted by the illusion this person had somehow created and allowed herself to be hit with an easily evadible attack. Natsu aimed so that when he struck, he could fling her back to the other person, simultaneously getting behind her. He couldn't believe he had hit here with that. He was so slow, and had only just learned the move. Weird, maybe he was just stronger than he thought.
"HAHAHA! That'll teach you to mock me! I'm the strongest! I am—BLEH!" He had just crashed into another tree, his tender flesh still sore from the fight. And it seemed there was a hive's nest in the tree… Which he had knocked it down?
BZZZZZZ
"CHICKSHOU! NANDEHDAYOH!?"
(Mirajane's POV)
Urgh. That bastard. She had been too careless, and therefore defeated. She could hear him yelling something on the distance, but it was if her ears were stuffed to the brim with wool. What was that guy yelling? Were those bees? She forced herself to get up, and ran after Natsu. This was going to be somewhat difficult.
She chased him for quite a while, from time to time losing him, only to find him again due to screams of agony. She succeeded in following him out of the orchard, but Natsu gave a mighty hop, and disappeared over the fence, into the night.
"Keh. Teme. Bastard. Running away from a fight like that"
"Nee-san, your not exactly in the best condition yourself you know"
"Yeah Elfman? What of it? I could still kick your ass in a fight" Elfman walked out of the shadows, blood from his wounds mostly hardened and pale against his tanned skin. "I know. You gave me enough time to rest to come get you. I know you don't need any help," he said quickly "But I need to lean on someone's shoulder to get back" Strictly this wasn't true. Elfman would have been fine on his own, but he wanted to help his sister. Naturally, her pride and tsundere personality would refuse any help offered to her, but being her brother, he knew that if he phrased his sentence the right way, he could convince his sister of anything to a certain degree. It was quite a handy trick.
"So help me?" Mirajane huffed, and offered her arm.
"Fine. Hurry up, lets go" Elfman took her arm, and just walked, as his sister tried to hide the fact that she was the one doing all the leaning.
"…Thanks" She whispered. Her brother was silent, until…
"Hai, Onee-san"
(Lisanna's POV)
OH NO! What could she do? She had just let Mirajane run off by herself, and she hadn't even tried to go with her! If only she had just ignored those Will-o-the-wisps…
(Flashback/About an hour ago…)
"Delicious! This is great!" Mirajane grabbed at random pieces of nearby meat, shoveling them down her throat and swallowing inhumanely fast. Tankards of sweet apple juice were emptied in seconds, the chefs working under Mr. Morbis having their work cut out for them. The president of Amai Orchards emitted a hearty laugh and twirled in a circle in his toes.
"I'm glad you enjoy it! I have some of the top cooks in Fiore working for me!" Of course, polite as ever, Lisanna used a fork and knife, carefully cutting her meat into bite size pieces. With great effort she managed to control anger, and scolded
"Nee-chan, could you please eat a little slower? And stop spilling juice all over the table! Show some manners!"
"What?" Mirajane answered. "I'm not causing trouble am I? And I washed my hands before dinner! … I think" The younger sister sighed.
"Why can't you ever learn that you can't act however you want in someone else's house?" She waved a drumstick around the air, propped her feet onto the table, and leaned back.
"Why not? We're doing a mission for them aren't we? And he's treating us to dinner, so shouldn't we enjoy the food?" About to throw her chair in Mirajane's face, she stopped when she heard sounds of explosions and yelling. Mirajane wasted no time in jumping out of her seat and rushing to the door.
"Yoshah! All right! Time to beat up the bad guys!"
"Nee-chan, wait for me!"
"Gambattene! Good luck!"
They rushed past the beginnings of the orchard's apple trees, Mirajane happy and hyper, Lisanna worried for Elfman and quite scared of the trees. They seemed to laugh at her in the dark.
"Mira-neechan? I think we should go back and get a light lacrima. It's kind of dark, and I can barely see in—"
Poof
"Kyaaaaaah!" A glitter of fire zoomed past the frightened girl's face, then another, and another, and another. The youngest of the Strauss family had never had much tolerance to scary ghost stories. Mirajane teased her endlessly, and she would hide behind Elfman in fright. He never seemed to mind ghosts. She had always suspected that in some corner in the world, evil spirits were ready to take your soul and eat your body. But now, she had been confronted face to face with her fears, and was unable to cope with it.
"GHOOOOOST!" She screamed and ran in the opposite direction back to the mansion. Mirajane didn't even notice.
(Flashback Over/Present time)
"Oi! Lisanna!" Her name called, the girl turned and saw Mirajane leaning on Elfman's shoulder, both battered and tired, but otherwise okay. Lisanna beamed, and ran to her sister's side, helping steady her.
"Gomenasai! I'm sorry, I didn't help at all, and I just ran away like a coward! I could have helped! I'm so ashamed!" Mirajane shook her head.
"It's okay, I stopped him for now. He'll be back soon though, and we'll be ready then" Lisanna's eye's widened.
"You couldn't beat him?"
"Urusai! Shut up! I wasn't ready! I'll get him next time"
"But still—"
"Lisanna?" It was Elfman. "Were you worried about us? Did you hope we got back safely?" Lisanna pouted and harrumphed.
"Mochiron! Of course I did silly!" This time Elfman gave a smile and ruffled her hair.
"Then that's enough for me" Lisanna blushed and smiled as well. They walked back to the enormous mansion, a maids and butlers hurrying to welcome them back and ushering them into the medical room.
(Natsu's POV)
That was close! He had almost been caught on the way back from the orchard. The she-devil had almost caught him, and he had had to run for a mile before she even tired. The hornet's stings were making him itch like crazy. He wouldn't be able to go to sleep easy tonight. He hadn't even gotten the apples for Igneel… Oh god. Igneel… What kind of hellish punishment would he have to go through the next day!?
'I'M SO DEAD!'
So, Natsu meets the Strauss siblings. He has met the devil, the demon arm, but ohohohoh… I can't wait to write out the next couple chapters… I have a little turn that I'm sure that you guys are going to love…
