Chapter 8:
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:
"Hello, Brother."
Now:
"Who, are you, exactly?" Kaito asked while tilting his head to the side. The man in question was a tall, lanky male with hair not unlike Kaito's, however it is a shade or three darker. His eyes are a shocking violet, and over his body concealing anything underneath is a rich violet cloak. In his right hand is a long, and I mean long, sword. Said sword appears to be at least 10 feet in length, which is a bit impractical, and is a traditional one-sided katana. His response was to slump forward a bit in disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure.
(BN: I recommend using the LoZ: BotW OST, Scourge of Vah Naboris: Thunderblight Ganon (Latter))
"I am saddened that you don't remember me, Kaito. However, it has been nearly two and a half decades since you last saw me. I was a bit surprised myself to learn of you being, well, alive. However, I plan to remedy that shortly. As you seem to have forgotten me, I feel introductions are in order. My name? Raiden Murabba. This sword here? Masamune. And who, might I be so bold to ask, is your friend right the-" he was cut off by Kaito's fist embedding itself in his stomach.
"Dear lord, do you EVER shut up?" Kaito questioned.
"So, you interrupted me? So be it. Let our fight commence." Raiden strained out slightly as he jumped back, forming a ball of purple electricity in his hands.
"Electron Beam!" as he shouted his attack out, a beam of electricity of the color he was building shot out at Kaito, who dodged it, albeit barely.
"Seriously? More Lightning? We had enough of this shit with Laxus!" Dakura Shouted out in rage.
"Actually, I think it may be a different element than lightning. This seems to more than likely be electricity. Luckily, it seems to still be weakened by some of your attacks, and has a darker element to it." Kaito explained, revealing many weaknesses of the magic while also keeping their attacks secret.
"As for my attacks? Shock Beetle Clone!" As Kaito shouted out the spell 2 clones of him, pulsing with electricity, appeared in a swarm of beetles, and rushed the Electric Make User.
"You think illusions will work on me? Bug Net!" As Raiden shouted out his next attack, a net made of purple electricity fell on the clones, but it did absolutely nothing.
"You do know those are Ips electricus, right? Any attacks using electricity of most kinds won't work." Kaito droned out to his self-proclaimed brother, while finishing writing all of the information about the beetle on a blackboard that appeared out of nowhere.
"Damn. Guess I need my back-" Raiden was interrupted again as Dakura shot him with his shotgun.
"Gun Magic: Grounding Slug." Dakura said in a near whisper, as Raiden looked at the slug in confusion.
"What was that going to do? Whatever. Wire Cage!" When Raiden called out the attack, nothing happened at all.
"What the hell!? Why aren't you trapped in an electric cage?!" Raiden screamed in denial.

"It's the thing that he shot at you, Master Raiden, and is sticking to you. It must be grounding your electricity." Another male stated as he walked out from behind his "Master". He has Black hair with Purple highlights, teal eyes, and a business suit on.
"Enkaar, what took you so long?" Raiden berated his supposed Servant.
"I am sorry Master. I had to deal with some of the local wildlife." The now revealed Enkaar explained.
"Now, I shall join in this brawl. Hiding in Mist!" With that, the battle was back on, as a cloud of mist enveloped the clearing. Suddenly, Kaito felt a series of strikes to his stomach and back.
"It seems they are capable of finding me in this mist, yet I cannot see them. Oi, Dakura, A little help here?" Kaito stated
"Sure thing. Dark Make: Dark Terrain." Dakura said as he slammed his hands on the ground. Darkness started forming in the clearing they were in. Raiden and Enkaar looked around the darkness trying to find their foes but wherever they looked they say two pairs of red glowing eyes.
(BN: Shift to Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel.)
"Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to talk with you again." they heard being sung, and it sounded as if it was coming from all around them. Both Raiden and Enkaar were creeped out by this.
"Because a vision softly is creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping." They continued hearing, while they started getting struck by invisible fists. They started throwing attacks in different directions trying to hit their opponents.
"And the vision that was planted in my brain. Still remains. Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone."
"'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp. When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, that split the night and touched the sound of silence."
"And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening. People writing songs that voices never share. And no one dared,"
"Disturb the sound of silence. Fools, said I, you do not know, silence like a cancer grows."
"Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you. But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence. And the people bowed and prayed,"
"To the neon god they made, and the sign flashed out its warning. In the words that it was forming:"
"And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls , and whispered in the sounds of silence." They ended as Raiden and Enkaar fell to the ground and the darkness disappeared.
"What, the hell, was that?" Raiden wheezed out as he sat on the ground, exhausted.
"It seems your younger sibling has a friend that I did not account for in my calculations for our success rate. I believe a tactical retreat is mandatory, Master." Enkaar responded.
"Very well then. Farewell, foolish brother." with that, the two disappeared in a manner that suggested they vanished into thin air.
"Dakura, we need to continue our search." Kaito said after a moment of realization.
"Alright. You have any more Nestle Crunch Bars?" Dakura inquired.
"Yes. Yes I do." Kaito responded, pulling out the aforementioned food item.
AN: This was a fun chapter to work on. Cobra will be getting his just desserts in a few chapters so get ready for that. Also, both Raiden and Enkaar are OCs that will be coming back later and some interesting stuff is going to happen with them in latter chapters. As always PM me or my Beta ,or leave a review. Until Next Time. See Yah!
BN: I enjoyed that fight scene. Expect a return of the Silence, more than likely in two to three chapters. Note, we do not own any of the music or Nestle Crunch bars used in this story either, and I thought them up on the fly. As always, Rate, Favorite, and Review. Blueghast900, Signing off.
