So I'm back with chapter 5. Want to make a quick note here, I moved Raxon's guild seal to his right forearm so if you made it this far than that's just that little bit of information. Another quick note, I really wanna know what you guys think so far so please leave a review. I know that kinda sounds whiny but I have no better way of asking. It is your choice but you should be nice people. Anyway on with the story.
Chapter 5
It took about 10 minutes for Natsu to finally wake up. When he did, he did not look pleased.
"So Natsu, do you accept me as a member now? Or do you still think I'm not good enough?"
Natsu responded. "Well I will accept you as a guild member, and I do think you are strong. I'm still kinda pissed you went on an S rank though. Next time w fight, it will be different."
"I'll be looking forward to it."
"Hey newbie! I've got a bone to pick with you!" They group heard a voice yell off to the right. They looked over and saw Gajeel running at them.
"Do you need something?" asked Raxon.
"Yeah I saw that fight, and it was pathetic. If I was facing you, that would have been way different. So how about I face you know?"
"Can it please wait till tomorrow? I am drained right now."
"Raxon I don't want you fighting him. He can hit much harder than Natsu and I don't trust it." Laxus warned.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine. I'll meet you here tomorrow at 3. Until then. Let's go Laxus."
Laxus and Raxon went off to into town. What they didn't know was that someone else was watching the match as well, and he was not as friendly as Natsu or Gajeel.
When they got back to the center of town, Laxus noticed a restaurant to their right.
"Are you hungry? We can get something to eat here."
"That sounds nice. Do you know if it's any good here?" Raxon responded as they walked in.
"Well I've never been to this one myself, but why not throw a little whimsy into life?"
They sat at a booth and a perky waitress walked over.
"Welcome to the Lucky Dragon, can I take your order?"
They took a quick glance at the menu and decided.
"I'll have the skyfish fillet." Said Laxus.
"And I'll take the cheeseburger please. Can I have a black coffee to go with that please?"
"Of course, that will be ready in about 5-10 minutes."
She walked off and got another order before giving to the chef. While they waited they talked about very important topics.
"So, how you thought about this fight with Gajeel? Again I really don't like the idea of you fighting him."
"Lightning I already told you its fine. I believe Natsu beat him once before right? That means if I can beat Natsu, I can beat him."
"He's different than Natsu. Just because he is weaker, doesn't mean the fight will be easier."
"OK how's this, if I lose, I'll let you do anything you want to me tomorrow night and I'll never saw your wrong again, deal?"
"I don't like making bets, but how can I say no to that?"
The food arrived a moment later and they greatly enjoyed it. They went back to the guild for a while and just had conversations with other guild mates. They stayed there until about 8 and then went back to Laxus' home for dinner.
"So, what do you want me to make you moonlight?"
"Actually, I was thinking I could cook this meal."
"You can cook? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well you never asked, and the moment never came up. Freed cooked for us on that job and you made me breakfast this mourning. So, what would you like?"
"Do you know how to make stew? It's one of my favorite meals."
"I'll see what I can do."
It took about an hour and many different ingredients were added for maximum flavor. Raxon used some of the beef Laxus had in the fridge and used some potatoes that were in the cupboard. He found some beans as well and decided to add those. Laxus went to the bathroom for a minute and while he was gone Raxon added his secret ingredient, bacon. He quickly made it so Laxus wouldn't notice. He turned the fa on to mask the smell and just managed to get it into the pot before he came out. Once the gravy was completed everything was ready.
"Close your eyes. I don't want you to know exactly what it is until you taste it." Laxus laughed and closed his eyes. Raxon poured two bowls and placed one in each of their seats. He got a spoonful ready and brought it to Laxus' lips. "Open up." His lips parted and the stew went into his mouth. Laxus let it rest in there savoring the taste. He swallowed and took a breath. "So, how is it?"
"This has to be...the best stew I've had in my life. All of these things go so well together. I swear I tasted something wonderful in there to. What was it?"
"It was bacon."
"You put bacon in this?! I've never thought of that before. It's genius."
"I'm so glad you like it. I'll make it for you anytime you want."
"Thank you light. You're amazing."
They ate their meal with slight conversation in-between bites. Once they were done, they went to bed to prepare for the next day.
Tomorrow: 2:45 P.M
They arrived back at the park where they were yesterday. Gajeel was already waiting there, apparently both wanted to show up early.
"Glad ya could make it. Wanna get started early since we're both here?"
"Let's wait till 3. I have a feeling we might have more spectators."
Sure enough, Natsu, Era, Lucy, ad Gray all came running after about ten minutes. They started catching their breath as if they've been running for a while.
"Whew, I thought we were gonna be late. Glad you guys didn't start yet." Stated Natsu."
"Come to see me mop the floor with this guy Salamander? Ya know if I beat this guy that means I'm stronger than you right?"
"As if, I beat you before and I can do it again."
"This isn't your fight Natsu, save it for later." Raxon interrupted. "Now that our audience is here, let's get started."
"I'll give a first move newbie. Come at me. Make sure you keep in mind I saw your fight with Natsu so I know what you're capable of."
"That doesn't matter, I think I'm be good. So here we go, Dark Nebula!" The darkness came as before and all could see except for Gajeel."
"Heh, I saw that coming. You know I'm like Natsu and can still smell ya right. Iron Dragon Roar!" He shot the beam right at Raxon.
"As I thought, Dark Barrier!" His barrier appeared and managed to block all of the blast. "Dark Missile!" The blasts fired at Gajeel and hit him dead on. Raxon didn't hold back with this one, it was at full strength.
"That should knock you down for a bit." Raxon stated. He gasped suddenly, Gajeel was standing there perfectly unscathed. "H..How are you.. you should be out."
"Iron scales man. They blocked all of that and I didn't feel a thing. Told you I wouldn't be as easy as Natsu. Now, what was that about knocking me down for a while? Now eat this, Iron Sword!"
Gajeel's arm turned into a giant sword and he swung it right at Raxon.
"Ugh, Dark Barrier!" His shield appeared but it did little to help. The sword went right through and an explosion threw Raxon back. "Ok, this is much harder than I anticipated. Guess I'll have to use the big one." He gathered his remaining energy and brought his arms back. "Dark Arrow!" The aim was spot on, right to Gajeel's abdomen. He still couldn't see it coming thanks to the darkness, and it hit dead on. It wasn't enough, his scales blocked most of the impact and only did minimum damage.
"Nice shot, but not good enough. Iron Club!" His arm elongated and hit Raxon square in the chest. He flew back and was knocked out cold. His darkness dissipated and all was clear again. Laxus ran over and picked Raxon up.
"Raxon, wake up. Moon u wake up dame it."
"He's out cold Laxus. Just take him home and let him rest" Erza commented.
"Fine!" He gave a glare at Gajeel. "You stay away from him you here me. If I see you fighting him again I will kick your ass."
He ran off with Raxon in his arms and brought him home. He laid him in bed and waited for him to wake up. His injuries weren't bad, the hit was just to much. Laxus thought of what to tell him when he woke up and finally decided that instead of scolding him, he would cheer him up. He knew just how to as well.
It was almost 7 when Raxon finally began to stir. He tried sitting up but couldn't move. He began to squirm and couldn't move his arms or legs. He looked back and forth at his limbs and noticed that he was tied to the bedpost. He was about to yell out for Laxus but saw him in the doorway. He ran right up and jumped on the bed.
"Time for you to hold up our bet."
Well that's chapter 5. I know I'm a bitch for ending it there. I changed my style a bit with this chapter to see if it flowed better. I think it did but you tell me which way you liked better. Since I'm on Christmas break I should have 2 more chapters but the 10th of January. Until then, bu bye.
