A/N: Welcome back to the next chapter. I hope you all are enjoying the story so far. Let me know your thoughts, comments and possible theories to the story in either the reviews or in a PM.
Romeo and Evan were walking in a forest, completely alone. Romeo had bandages wrapped around his arms and his left leg. Evan had his right arm bandaged. The two walked without causing much commotion between them.
"Romeo are you sure this is a smart idea?" Evan asked.
"Well I don't really get a choice in this. We need a doctor and a skilled one at that. No normal doctor would treat a criminal unless we give them a proper reason. We can get this doctor to do it because we have the leverage here." Romeo explained.
"You know what I mean, this is very dangerous if we fail or luck is not on our side." Evan clarified.
"I don't leave things upto luck. Anything I do is on my terms, whether it is here or anywhere else." Romeo countered.
"Romeo, neither of us are fully healed. My sword is just a temporary one until my new one is crafted. We may be strong but we are far from our top shape. I don't know if we should be acting now."
"Every moment we waste we lose precious time. Emma is in a critical state and needs a doctor as soon as possible. We can't let something like this wait."
"I know how you feel, trust me, off all people I would want Emma to be safe. We are at the highest risk we have been since the Hargeon incident right now. Romeo I trust you with my life, you know this, but is this something we should be doing now?"
"Evan, right now is the perfect time. Everyone knows that we are injured. They won't be expecting anything like this now. They will be expecting us to be licking our wounds right now. This will completely blind side them and cause their reputation to go down once the public learns."
"I hope you are right, because according to our sources, they are completely pissed off."
The two continued to walk for a few more minutes until a small hut came into view. The small home was built into the trunk of a large tree. Various plants were growing in the area. The two walked up to the door and knocked. After a moment, a voice was heard.
"You darn idiots, bothering me right now, this better be important."
The door swung open revealing an old, pink haired woman. The woman seemed surprised before she was swiftly knocked out by Romeo. Romeo picked up the old woman and the two started to walk in the direction they came.
"If Fairy Tail figures it out soon enough then we are dead." Evan emphasized. "They have four dragon slayers and they can pick up this woman's sent quite easily with how much she smells of the earth."
"Then let's hurry before they find out." Romeo replied as the two continued to walk.
"Why did you chose her?" Evan asked.
"Porlyusica is one of the greatest doctors on the continent. If anyone can heal Emma, then it is her. I know she can heal Emma." Romeo vowed. "She's healed members of the guild who should have died. SHe's the main reason that Makarov is still alive."
"Hopefully her skills are as great as you claim." Evan replied.
Wendy walked down the familiar path to go visit the guild's resident potion master. With everything that had been happening, Wendy had been learning everything she could on how to heal people. She was trying to be less dependant on her magic to heal. Once she got to the home, she immediately realized that something was wrong. Porlyusia's scent almost wasn't present. She entered the home to see that nobody was there. Wendy went back outside and noticed a small trail of Porlyusica's scent. Wendy began to follow the scent worried about what could have happened. Wendy ran nonstop for multiple hours, with the sun now beginning to set, to the end of the forest. Once a range of mountains were in sight, Wendy was two figures walking while carrying a pink haired woman.
"Let Porlyusica go!" Wendy ordered the two.
The two figures turned around and Wendy was shocked to see who they were.
"Of course, of all people in that guild it had to be Wendy." Romeo complained.
"Why are you doing this Romeo? Why do you have Porlyusica?" Wendy asked.
"I needed to borrow her for a bit. I promise I'll return her, unharmed, once I'm done." Romeo promised.
"Romeo why are you doing this? Why are you killing people? Why did you kill Gildarts?" Wendy asked.
"Wendy look, there are just some things that you just don't understand?" Romeo replied.
"You're right, I don't understand why you're doing this. I thought I knew you. I thought I understood you. We were friends, we never lied to each other. We promised that we'd have each others backs. Was all that a lie. Was the Romeo I've known been an imposter, just a mask?" Wendy shouted.
"It wasn't all a lie. I was mostly honest in everything I've told you. I never wanted to hurt you, but somethings just can't be changed without action." Romeo replied.
"Romeo should I?" Evan asked grasping the handle to his katana.
"No! I'll handle this. Just hold onto her." Romeo ordered as he gave Porlyusica to Evan.
"Why have you been doing this? Why do you have to do this? Was there no other choice, couldn't this have been solved peacefully?" Wendy questioned.
"No, the world isn't as good as we used to believe. Some things can't just be talked through." Romeo explained.
"What are you talking about? The guild would have supported you. We could have helped you do whatever you had to do. You didn't have to do this all alone." Wendy stated.
"Romeo isn't alone. While you might not of known it, Romeo has had others by his side this entire time. I've been with Romeo ever since you disappeared on Tenrou." Evan argued.
"Wendy, the guild isn't the great place we believe it to be. If you look into it, the guild is a pretty dark place that hides a lot of secrets." Romeo added.
"I know it isn't perfect but that could have changed. You didn't have to go to such extreme measures." Wendy insisted.
"Wendy, if anything the guild is the reason I'm in this situation to begin with." Romeo commented.
"What are you talking about?" Wendy asked.
"Romeo we need to leave." Evan warned
"Romeo please talk to me. Let me in." Wendy pleaded.
Romeo turned away from Evan and faced towards Wendy.
"Evan, move on without me, I'll meet you at the base. Wendy, if you can beat me in a fight then I'll explain everything to you." Romeo challenged.
"Romeo you aren't in any condition to get into a fight right now." Evan reminded.
"Evan trust me, I have a few tricks left up my sleeve." Romeo insisted.
"Fine, but you better come back." Evan stated as he ran off.
Romeo and Wendy stared each other down. There were no words between them. It was silent enough that they could hear the insects with their enhanced hearing. At the same time, they rushed forward colliding with their fists. A small shockwave was created from their collision scaring away and nearby animals. Romeo went for a side kick which Wendy blocked with ease. Wendy threw a punch that Romeo caught. The two stared at each other before they both jumped back a few meters. They both crouched down and fired a roar at each other. Green winds collided against blue winds as their attacks cancelled each other out. Without wasting a moment, the two mages leaped forward both landing a punch on the other. Wendy leaped back and out some space between the two.
"Enchant: Vernier, Arms, Armor" Wendy called out as her body glowed a light blue aura.
Wendy leaped forward catching Romeo off guard with her newly enhanced capabilities. Wendy delivered a powerful knee to Romeo's face which sent him back a few feet. Before Romeo could recover, Wendy again leaped forward, but this time her arms were covered in her wind.
"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack" Wendy announced as she knocked Romeo back with a powerful whirlwind.
Romeo did a quick backflip and landed on his feet. Wendy closed the distance but noticed a small green orb in Romeo's hand. Romeo hit Wendy with the orb as it started to expand.
"Gale Dragon's Heavenly Wind"
The orb expanded and launched Wendy closer to the woods. Wendy tried to get up but noticed Romeo falling in the air directly above her. Green wind surrounded Romeo's fist as he fell towards her.
"Gale Dragon's Heavenly Fist"
Wendy jumped out of the way in time but was still knocked back by the wind as Romeo's fist hit the ground creating a small crater. Wendy swung her arm in the direction of Romeo causing a large tornado to appear and slam into him. Romeo was knocked into the forest taking multiple trees down as he hit them.
"I can't afford to let this drag on. Enchant: lle Vernier, lee Arms, lee Armor"
Wendy started to suck in air as she felt Romeo moving back towards her. Romeo quickly closed the distance but was moving too quickly to notice what Wendy was planning. The moment Romeo was meer inches from Wendy, she let out a devastating roar knocking him onto the ground and back to the edge of the forest.
"Sky Dragon's Punishing Roar"
Wendy started to breath heavily, trying to catch her breath as Romeo struggled to get up. Wendy looked over and saw that she had knocked Romeo's bandages off and saw cuts going in all sort of directions lining both of his arms. Romeo got up and took a deep breath before he looked straight at Wendy. Romeo started to raise his magic to levels that would cause any dark mage or bandit to surrender. Wendy looked and saw his body begin to glow a green aura. As more of his body began to glow, the higher his magic went. When the aura completely covered his body, Wendy realized that the magic could rival Natsu. Wendy look a deep breath as she generated her own magic. Wendy's hair began to raise and glow pink as she entered dragon force.
"What do you think? I can't use dragon force like the rest of you dragon slayers so I decided to create my own power boost." Romeo revealed. "It is my own touch on this magic. The Gale Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Night of the Big Wind. It was powerful enough to rival Gildarts. Do you think you have enough strength to take it on?"
"Like I would even begin to think about giving up. There is only one way this battle is going to end and that is with me as the victor." Wendy retorted.
Romeo charged forward and Wendy followed. The two met with their punches causing shockwaves to be created. After each maage landed multiple strikes on each other, they both jumped back several meters. Wendy began to generate magic in both of her hands as she wished to end the fight.
"Wendy you know, our magics aren't that different. They actually both were once the same. Except Gale dragon magic started when a Sky dragon decided to forgo the support part of magic and focus on strength. That means that you can't beat me." Romeo announced.
"It doesn't matter what you believe, I have to win this. I can't afford to lose now. I will win." Wendy declared as she finished generating her magic. Wendy moved her arms in a counterclockwise direction as a tunnel of wind was created. "Dragon Slayer Secret Arts Shattering Light: Sky Drill."
Romeo entered a stance shall seemed to mimic Wendy's. The aura from Romeo left his body and entered his hands. Romeo moved his hands in a clockwise direction as hit own tunnel of wind was created.
"Gale Dragon Slayer Secret Arts Shattering Light: Sky Cannon"
The two tunnels clashed causing the two to both of the tunnels, blue and green, to fight for dominance. After a few moments, a clear winner was shown as Romeo's attack completely decimated Wendy's ripping the tunnel to shreds. Wendy refused to believe she would lose, even as the attack hit her. Wendy was sent into the tunnel, launching her backwards, continuously cutting her flesh. Wendy continued to travel backwards until she was sent into the mountain, creating a crater with her buried in the middle. Her hair faded back to blue as her eyes closed and Wendy faded into unconsciousness. Romeo walked up to see her unconscious figure, then he passed out on the ground. The sun set on this day concluding the battle between these two mages.
A/N: This was a battle that I've wanted to do since I created the story. It was originally going to happen sooner in the story but I decided to hold it off until now. How do you guys think the fight went? Was it good? Well I hope you all enjoyed. Until next time.
