Chapter 4: Sabertooth New Addition

The Sabertooth guild was shocked that Minerva was beaten without them even aware of it. Clearly they are nothing to joke about, well at least the girl, the two men with her have yet displayed their abilities.

The Master welcomed them to the guild and they each got their stamp. Lucy got hers in black the darkest of dusk on her left shoulder. Zancrow got his in blond yellow at where his old guild stamp was. Zeref got his in red on his left wrist.

"Introduce yourself and state your magic." The Master said and motion at the guild members on the second floor.

Lucy step forward to the edge of the second floor and she stuck out her chest with her head held high.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia. People usually calls me Lucy but now I would prefer to be called Ilia." Lucy said with an authoritive tone. "I am a Celestial Mage currently I have no keys but I have learned other Celestial Magic and I can also use other magic which I shouldn't name." Lucy just stood there and Zancrow step forward standing on her right.

"Zancrow. I used to belong in Grimoire Heart guild now I'm stuck with that blonde girl." He motioned at Lucy by turning his looking at her for a glance and turn back to look at the crowd. "I am a Fire God Slayer." After he said that Zeref stood forward standing beside Lucy on her left.

"Ferez. Rez. Use ancient forgotten dark magic." Zeref gave short monotonous introduction.

Master Jiemma brought out (well ordered someone to) a MPF machine out and ordered all of them to stand outside of the guild so that it will be easier for the new recruits to cast their powers without destroying the building preferably.

All of them flocked outside of the guild and form a ring of circle. The MPF was put in the middle.

"This Magic Power Finder is to measure your level of magic it can get over till 9999. If you get passed 9000 you'll be deemed as S-class mage. Use your full power if you want. So far only a few mage has made it over 9000 which is Orga, Rufus, Sting, Rogue, Minerva and the twins, Sora and Roxas." [I don't know why but my fanfic will never have a Yukino in it.]

Master Jiemma explained and the three just shrugged.

"So who's first?" Zancrow asked out loud to Lucy and Zeref.

"You since you're the weakest of us." Zeref said as if stating a fact.

"Wha-! Am not. I don't even need to use my full power to reach 9000." Zancrow argue.

"Really? I don't even need to use half of my power to reach 9000." Zeref retorted back.

"Don't be so confident, old man. You haven't used your powers in years of sleeping." Zancrow glared at Zeref.

"Wrong. I still used my powers during those time, fire-head. Just because I didn't do things like I used to doesn't mean my powers has been receding." Zeref stared at him.

Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Don't call me a fire-head, old man!"

"I am not old! I just have a long life, matchstick!" Zeref seethed.

"Whatever you say Sleeping Beauty."

"Loser."

"Emo dude."

"Lunatic blonde."

Lucy's patience has reach its like every other time they started bickering like stupid idiots. Lucy kicked both of them just slow enough just so that they stumble down to the floor.

"That's an insult Rez. I'm not a lunatic." Lucy pouted as if she didn't just kicked them and got them engrossed on the floor.

"Sure you're not Ilia." He said nicely getting up and out of the floor although he actually meant more like 'Really?'

"Tch. Sweet talker. If you think she's a lunatic just say so no need to be all kind and nice." Zancrow stood up and rubbed his aching head with his hand.

What he said earned a hurting punch on his head which just added more pain to his aching head.

"Stupid. If you guys wanna see which of us is stronger than let's settle with this. All of us will only use 1/4 of our power on our medium strong attack and see who gets the highest, nee?"

Zancrow and Zeref nodded and the three glared in a friendly rivalry kind of way.

Zancrow went first. "Fire God Slayer Secret Technique: Black Armageddon." [Can I not explain what each of the attack is like when I feel so lazy to do so :P]

The machine showed a number of 9546.

The guild members all of them (not including the three) including Master Jiemma was shocked to see the display of power. Is it true that they were not using full strength?

"Hahahaha. Only 9546." Zeref burst out laughing cluthcing his stomach.

"Shut up, and act as gloomy as always. I wasn't using full power!" Zancrow shouted.

"Which is the point of this. And I am not gloomy. I just look like I am!" Zeref said.

"Well you did a good job, Zancrow. Your next Rez, stop laughing at him before we even know yours." Lucy said.

Zeref was still chuckling when he walked to the MPF. "Dark Magic: Pierced by Hades."

The result for Zeref's display ¼ of his strength of his medium strong attack is….9888!

"Hah! See, Lucy? There's no need to worry. I am stronger than that fire-head. I alone is strong enough to protect you. The tag along is a nuisance and unneeded."

"What ya' say? I found her first before you did! You're the tag along!"

Lucy sweatdropped and ignored the two. She walked towards the MPF.

"Ancient Royal Technique: Blooming Sakura Petal Swords." Suddenly Lucy was surrounded by Sakura petals which is glistening under the sun. Zancrow and Zeref backed up a bit knowing that the petals can be as sharp as a knife and cut through stones like butter.

The machine….it was gone the only thing left is the display of a distorted number of 9999.

"Ilia. You said that we were supposed to use only our medium strong attacks. Why did you use your strongest attack?" Zancrow said unsatisfied.

"That is my medium strong attack in its weakest state! Baka. I'm a Celestial Mage, remember? I don't go back on my words!" Lucy yelled at him. "You guys just haven't seen my true powers yet!"

"Calm down, Lucy. He is just to stupid to notice the change in your aura the last few days." Zeref hugged Lucy from behind like a kid trying to calm her down.

"Tch." Was all Zancrow could muster.

Next chap will be uploaded tomorrow or as soon as I finish it.
