Chapter 5
In a land far, far away lies the kingdom of Fiore, a small, peaceful nation of 17 million, and a place filled with magic. Found in every home, bought and sold in every marketplace. For most magic is merely a tool, a mundane part of everyday life. For some, however, magic is an art, and they've devoted their lives to its practice. These are the wizards. Banded together into magical guilds, they ply their skills in search of fame and fortune. Many such guilds dot the landscape of Fiore. But there is a certain guild in a certain town that soars high above the rest, one from which countless legends have been born. A guild that will no doubt continue to create legends well into the future. Its name... is Fairy Tail.
Last time:
"Mind if we join the party?" Dakura asked while cracking his knuckles. Kaito had a smirk on his face which turned to a serious look as a pissed off Laxus appeared from the hole he was knocked into.
"I don't care what magic you have. No one will stop me." Laxus said as he charged his electric magic in his hands.
Now:
(BN: I recommend Thunderstruck by AC/DC to be played during this entire fight sequence.)
"What the? How did you use a roar?" Gajeel asked as Kaito and Dakura joined them staring at the enraged Laxus.
"I'm the Dark Dragon Slayer, we can get into the specifics later after we beat Laxus." Dakura said as Laxus started charging toward them. As Laxus got closer they each separated and started attacking Laxus from all sides. Gajeel attacked with a Iron Dragon Club. Natsu attacked with a Fire Dragon Wing Attack. Kaito then blindsided their adversary with a Flame Beetle Chitin Sword. Dakura attacked next, utilizing a Dark Dragon Claw. This pushed Laxus back and caused him some minor damage. Laxus then tried to shoot lightning at Dakura, but it was rendered useless when his pulled out a Lightning lacrima from one of his pouches and the lightning was absorbed into the lacrima.
"What?! How were you able to absorb my lightning!?" Laxus shouted before he was hit by a flaming fist from Natsu.
"I used my Lightning lacrima to absorb your lightning and charge the lacrima for later use." Dakura said as he put his lacrima back in his pouch. He then pulled out the shotgun that was hanging by his waist. He then took aim at Laxus.
"Everyone out of the way! Gun Magic: Grounding Slug" Dakura shouted as he pulled the trigger on his shotgun and sent a shotgun slug made of a yellow material. When it hit Laxus it stuck to him and started to sap the lightning from him. Laxus ripped the slug off of him and crushed the slug with his hands. Laxus glared at Dakura and started changing his body into lightning to get to him faster. When he was about to ram into Dakura, he suddenly melted into a shadow and appeared above Laxus sucking in the air getting ready for a roar.
"Dark Dragon ROAR!" Dakura shouted as he hit Laxus point blank. When Laxus got up he was meet face to face with Kaito, who had a smirk on his face.
"Sup, Bitch? Leech!" With that, leeches the size of Kaito's arm fell on to Laxus, and began draining his magic reserves. However, Laxus charred them off by surging electricity throughout his body. Kaito saw that coming from a mile away, so he launched a Beetle Cannon made using Lightning Beetles for good measure.
"Here's an Oldie but Goodie, MASS HERCULES BEETLE CLONE!" as Kaito called another attack, 15 clones of himself, made using Hercules Beetles, fazed into existence, and charged Laxus, each holding a random pipe made of their brethren.
"Lightning Dragon Roar!" Laxus's attack, while slowing the clones down, did not destroy a single one, but did it's job in earning him some breathing room. Or so he thought.
"Peek a boo. Hive Mind Secret Art: Beetle Meteor." Kaito just calmly stood behind Laxus as the boulder sped at its intended target, enveloping him in it once reaching him. After a second or two, it ended up exploding into another swarm of Beetles. As it dispersed, Laxus remained standing, but not unscathed. He was covered in Burn marks as well as cuts and bruising from the repeated attacks.
"No I will not let you beat me. Not now. Not ever…" Laxus whispered to himself as his power increased like crazy as he started building a ball of light in his hands.
"What attack is this?" Dakura asked as the attack kept on growing.
"It is Fairy Law. It practically obliterates any who the user sees as an enemy." Kaito stated as Laxus finished charging the attack.
"FAIRY LAW!" Laxus shouted as he used the attack and everything was bathed in a bright light.
"SON OF A BITCH" Dakura screamed as the light encompassed him.
" happened." Kaito stated at the end of the attack, with no damage done to himself, or anyone else for that matter.
"Wait? Why are we not dead?" Dakura asked no one in particular, as he looked at the shocked Laxus.
"I don't know, but be on guard, the assclown might attack, or something." Kaito whispered to his partner.
"Because Laxus doesn't see you as enemies. He sees no one in Fairy Tail as an enemy in his heart, no matter what he says or thinks." Levy said as she walked into the church, and went straight to Laxus.
"Your grandfather is dying Laxus. You need to see him before it is too late." Levy pleaded with Laxus. He just stared at the bluenette and laughed.
"You think I care for that old man? Well you're wrong. I don't care that he is dying. If he dies then that means that I will take over Fairy Tail as the new master and I will get what I wanted." Laxus gloated and started laughing like a madman, not noticing Dakura approaching him from behind.
"You're a Bloody Fuckin Idiot, Aren't ya? Master 'll probably put 'is pick for next master in 'is will, and it most certainly is not you." Kaito deadpanned in an Scottish Accent for no reason at the lightning magic user.
"Also, Goodnight." Dakura said as he shot Laxus point blank concussion slug. Once Laxus was unconscious Dakura threw the larger man over his shoulders and started carrying him toward the guild hall.
"Wait a minute, what about the Thunder Palace?" Kaito asked as they approached the door of the church.
"I ran into Erza along the way here and she told me she planned to take down the Thunder Palace herself. I gave her my sword to aid her." Dakura said as all of the lightning lacrima floating around Magnolia were destroyed simultaneously. After that we could hear the screaming of all of the Fairy Tail guild members getting fried by the lightning as a consequence for destroying the lacrima. As the group got to the infirmary Dakura threw Laxus on the ground in front of Makarov's bed, who was up and looking better, and left the room to let the two talk.
(2 hours later)
As the Fantasia Parade was starting everyone in Fairy Tail was getting ready for each of the floats they will be on. Once the parade started everyone got to their spots, except Gajeel who was too injured to do anything but sit still and wave. First was a pink float with Levy, Lucy, and Bisca. They were doing a dance for the parade in matching dresses. Then a large white float with Macao, Wakaba, and Cana using their magic to create images in the air. Then a float with a large castle made of ice and water with Juvia and Gray in royal clothing. Next was Mira and Elfman's float with the two performing their Take-Over magic. Elfman used his full body take over and Mira turned into a giant lizard and knocked Elfman off. After that was a float with a stage on it, and Erza on the stage performing her Requip magic and changing between flashy armor. Following that was a float with a bandaged Natsu and Happy waving a people. Natsu then used his magic to create Fairy Tail in the air above him. Behind them. Was a large Black Beetle with Glowing lights on it. This was Dakura and Kaito's float. Off the back of the Beetle, gunshots rang out, which exploded into fireworks, as were spheres of multicolored beetles. Finally was a large float with Makarov on top of it in a some sort of cat costume doing a weird dance. In the middle of the parade, everyone in the guild stopped and raised their right hand in the air, in the shape of an inverted L, back of the hand out. Everyone held that for a while and then got back to the parade and finished about an hour later. Once everyone got back to the guild hall, Gajeel talked to Makarov off to the side.
"Here, I got more intel on Ivan." Gajeel told Makarov, while handing him a small piece of paper in the rough outline of a stick figure.
"Thank you Gajeel for doing this for me. It is necessary to know what Ivan is up to." Makarov said as he took the paper and pocketed it.
"I bet he would be pissed if he found out I was a triple-agent." Gajeel said with a smirk. Makarov smirked back and they both went to the bar to get a drink.
"Ok buddy I want some answers. Why didn't you tell us you were a Dragon Slayer?" Natsu interrogated Dakura who was sitting across from him at the table they were at.
"Wait. You're a Dragon Slayer Dakura." Erza asked her brother who was sitting right next to her. Dakura smiled at her and cloaked his fist in darkness.
"Yup. I'm a Dragon Slayer. To be specific i'm the Dark Dragon Slayer, and I didn't tell you I was one was to not allow the Thunder Legion to know that. Also that is the reason I disappeared all those years ago sis, I was taken by Nurvureem to become the Dark Dragon Slayer. Every day I thought of you but I knew if I went back bad things would happen because of it. I didn't want to risk anything so I stayed with Nurvureem and trained to be the Dark Dragon Slayer. When I was done with my training I didn't know where to find you so I wandered the land in search of you until we are here where we are now." Dakura said as Erza tackled him to the ground with a hug. When they got up and Dakura went to sit down he accidentally bumped the table and knocked Erza's strawberry cake slice that she was eating on the ground. Erza just stared at the slice for a little bit while everyone at the table got far away except Dakura and Kaito who didn't know what was happening and why everyone was scared. Erza then slowly turned her head to Dakura with a sadistic look in her eye that sent shivers down Dakura and Kaito's spines.
"You just knocked over my cake." Erza said in a dark tone that made Dakura feel scared for his life. Kaito just looked confused.
"It was just a piece of cake so what." Kaito said as Erza turned to him with the sadistic glare. Erza suddenly requips into her Purgatory Armor, and her eyes were completely red.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR DESTROYING MY DELICIOUS CAKE AND FOR SAYING IT WAS 'JUST A PIECE OF CAKE'!" Erza shouted as she swung her massive sword at Dakura and Kaito sending them into a wall on the other side of the guild hall. Eventually everyone started fighting in a classical Fairy Tail guild brawl. Dakura and Kaito eventually were able to detach themselves from the wall and get away from Erza long enough to catch their breaths.
"Note to self: Do not insult strawberry cake." Kaito told himself more than anyone.
"Or destroy it while Erza is nearby or where she can see it." Dakura added as a shadow passed over them. When they turned around Erza was standing there with the same look in her eyes.
"YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR PUNISHMENT THAT EASILY!" Erza screamed as she attacked Kaito and Dakura again sending them into a wall.
AN: Another chapter down and this one was finishing up the Fighting Festival Arc. Chapters will be posted more frequently because me and my beta will be out of school. Exams are annoying and long and need to burn in hell. PM or comment me or my beta with any questions you may have. Until Next Time. See Yah!
BN This took longer than expected, but blame the United States Education System for imposing Final Exams. Had our Finals been more corresponding in terms of dates and times, we would have had this out sooner, however we did not, so I took us roughly a week to write this. Now however, as summer approaches, we will have far more time to work, barring other commitments getting in the way. As always, Follow, Favorite, and Review! Blueghast900, Signing Off.
