{oOo~ Wait, it's been a while so I have to stretch… THERE we go, now. Where were we? Oh right the Black and Blue glowy neon dragon and his slayer… But as custom dictates I have to start off with the baka- and of course by that I meant brilliant people of the council… SIMPLY BRILLIANT! AMAZING! ~oOo}
"Guran what have you done? You sent your own granddaughter into the fight with that malicious dragon knowing that even the best mages in all of the guilds were no match for it? Are you insane!" the council was in chaos though they knew this would happen and that they planned for it to go the way it did they STILL panicked at the sight of the dragon.
"I am not insane, I merely plan things ahead… at first my intentions make me seem unreasonable but the outcome is assured to be successful. There is a reason for everything Krios, the panic overcoming the council just means they have doubted my intellect" Guran seemed pleased by the events that were currently taking place.
"And what may I ask is the reasoning behind your intentions?" Krios managed to lower the tone of his voice.
"Simple. I have placed my granddaughter as well as Dragneel in the competition because they are capable of taking the Black Dragon down once they have unleashed their full potential. Heartfilia on the other hand is just there because she might learn something useful." Guran smiled proudly at his granddaughter.
"Though her Dragon Slaying Capabilities are limited due to her conviction that she might endanger lives once she reaches Dragon Force that is why Mr. Frey is present. And once she is in Dragon Force nothing will be able to stop her from getting her revenge on the Dark Slayer. She will once again obtain her Celestial Magic, Heartfilia will obtain the objects needed for her to obtain, Dragneel will along with my granddaughter and the other mages be able to defeat Acnologia and everything will go as planned" Guran explained further.
"All of this was a plot not to get rid of Acnologia but to prepare 'the girl' for 'the event'?" Guran smiled at Krios ominously.
"I always liked you and your intuition Krios, I knew you'd understand my reasoning…" Krios nodded.
"What do we do now Guran?" Krios asked feeling lost in the rather large plan Guran has laid out for them.
"Now, we wait Krios…"
{oOo~ What? Are there any other secrets you're keeping locked up until the end there authoress? [Random: Not really, I just make this stuff up as I go] Right you were supposed to be winging it [Random: Hey I'm doing my best to pull all of the strings together and end this story with a bow on top for the readers to enjoy] Ok, shut up, let me work… Anyway, back to the enraged Misha and Mikaila. ~oOo}
The girls panted, their breaths came in soft, shallow, gasps.
"Long time no see Misha… You've gotten better" Mikaila smiled and complimented.
"You're not half bad without your usual magic… You should use your Dragon Slayer Magic more often" Mikaila's smile dropped though she knew the girl was also complimenting her.
"Jason, I could use more food!" she shouted at the tired Snow/ Solid Script Mage.
"My magic is depleting very fast Mikai, I have my limits too you know?" he was panting just as much as the other two.
Miki and Amelie were fighting the dragon but couldn't get a single scratch on him with their Magic.
"What the hell is going on?" Miki yelled Slashing at the dark beast with Fire.
"How should I know? I'm just as clueless as you are!" Amelia kicked and punched the dragon with raw magic and landed back down beside Miki.
Kazu, Shiruku, and Crystal were throwing everything they've got at the dragon; Kazu turned the ground under it soft, Shiruku was trying to defeat it with her Sonic Magic, and Crystal was doing everything she could with her Jewel Magic creating explosions along the dragon's big body.
None of them had made any progress.
On the tail end of the dragon Hinagiku and Edge were working together with their Water and Lightning, Lucille, her spirit Alcairea…
Who looked similar to Andromeda except she had black hair, indigo eyes, pale skin, and her clothes were a deep black. She looked like the cold and calculating version of Andromeda.
Gray, and Cathy were using Ice techniques, and Erza charged at the monster alongside Jellal with her Heaven's Wheel Armor and his Heavenly Body Magic.
With the efforts of the Titania of Fairy Tail, the former Council Member, and the S-Class and none S-Class Mages from all over Fiore they seemed to be making unnoticeable dents in the Dragon's Armor.
Natsu stared as the scene unfolded before him, Lucy stood beside him wondering the same thing. They both thought over how it had come to this, mages from different guilds fighting a DRAGON and a DARK DRAGON SLAYER.
Natsu had stopped asking the Dragon questions about Igneel, Metallanica, Grandine, and Charyne a few minutes earlier when he spotted Mikaila brawling against the Dragon Slayer.
"So what do you think we should do?" Lucy asked not knowing why the others had decided to fight with the party crashers.
"I'm going to help Mikaila get her Celestial Magic back and ask the Dragon Slayer about Igneel… Come to think about it I never asked Mikaila about Igneel either…" he started out towards the brawl between Dragon Slayers and called out to Happy.
"I guess I'll help take the Dragon down…" the dragon roared and Lucy decided to cheer Erza on instead.
No! You're just as strong as they are! You can do some damage too! You're a Fairy Tail Mage as well! Go show them!
She hardened her resolve and pulled out a key.
"Right. Open, Gate of the Lion! Loke!" the Lion spirit poofed into existence.
"Have no fear Princess, for I as your Knight in Shining armor will protect you" Loke said pushing his blue tinted glasses up.
"We need to take down that Dragon" she pointed at Acnologia and Loke's bravado seemed to falter.
"As you wish Princess…" he sighed and fought off the Dragon as best he could while protecting Lucy.
{oOoOo~ These guys are boring so I'll do you a favor and simply say that Lucy got a little more Spirit Power than Loke and move onto the Battle between the Dragon Slayers [*Random hits the guy who's supposed to be talking here*] OW! It was getting boring! [Random: I know, I was about to tell you to skip ahead] then why did you hit me? [Random: Because I wanted to *smirks*] Grr… ~oOoOo}
"Snow Dragon's freezing Fist!"
Mikaila finally landed a freezing fist on the Dark Dragon Slayer who's nose dripped blood because of the magic enhanced punch.
"Jason, some Ice or Snow would be helpful!" she said out of breath, the three mages were very exhausted by their efforts to win in the fight.
"I'm working on it! GRAY! LUCILLE! CATHERINE!" he shouted at the three Ice/Snow using mages across the room.
"What!" they all shouted.
"Could I borrow some Ice or Snow?" Jason requested gesturing to the exhausted Snow Dragon Slayer.
Gray nodded at the two S-Class girls from Blue Pegasus and ran over to Jason.
Mikaila couldn't move due to the excessive amounts of strain she emitted.
"I have you now Mikaila, you'll never get your Celestial Magic back and your friend will never get her revenge on me" he smirked and prepared for his attack.
Misha and Mikaila had been putting all their strength into NOT collapsing from exhaustion.
"It's been a pleasure…" Devan waved before bringing his hands to his mouth.
"Dark Dragon's Roar" Misha and Mikaila braced themselves for impact, holding onto each other.
They had been good friends during their time in Crime Sorciere; would this be how it ended for them?
Before they could ponder on their immanent death a voice cried out from behind them.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!" the girls ducked as the flames pushed back the dark void and extinguished it… Ironically.
"Natsu-nii!" Mikaila smiled hopefully.
"Oi, didn't you know it's not nice to hit girls?" Natsu grinned and everyone seemed to have hope.
"Mikaila!" she looked over at Jason's direction and noticed a jagged row of ice that lead from the floor in front of Gray to Mikaila's side.
She ate the Ice eagerly until she finished about half of the row.
"That tastes GOOD! You should open a restaurant or something Gray Senpai!" Gray smirked.
"Flame Brain! Did you hear that? The Snow Dragon Slayer thinks my Ice tastes Good!" he bantered.
"It's not as good as Jason's though… His stuff is delicious!" Mikaila interjected leaving Gray's jaw to drop.
"It's true… My Ice and Snow is like gourmet" Jason snickered.
"Haha! A girl just dissed you! Serves you right Icy Bastard!" Natsu laughed openly.
"Shut up Fire Breath!"
"Stripper!"
"Lizard!"
"Snow Princess!"
"Ahem…" Mikaila tapped her foot impatiently, acknowledging that he had insulted her as well.
Gray's smirk grew even wider.
"Uhh, no offense Mikaila…" Natsu laughed nervously.
"Never mind, we have unfinished business" she brushed off the insult and gestured to Devan.
"We will defeat you… Dragon Force!" Devan hissed.
His magic increased tenfold once he went into dragon force.
"I will finally get me revenge on you Mikaila!" he cackled in an evil way.
"How did you achieve Dragon Force that quickly? What are you talking about?" Mikaila shouted so he could hear her over his laughter.
"You know full and well what I am talking about Mikaila Victoria Cress!" he stared at her with familiar green eyes.
"I don't Devan! Do I know you?" she said truthfully.
"You may not know me as I am but you will understand soon…" he glared.
"Little sister…" everyone's eyes widened, apparently THIS was news!
"That's right, I'm Devan Victor Cress, your older brother. I was the one who left you in the jungle when you were young. You see our parents completely adored you and never had any time for their son anymore so I left you there one day and sealed your memory of it. When I had returned our parents had disowned me and I seeked revenge…" no one could move as he told them about his reasoning.
"I searched high and low and found Acnologia… the Dragon King. Once I found him I put him under my command by casting a spell on him. Using Acnologia's power and authority I forced him to recall all of the Dragons and teach me the art of Dragon Slaying…" he finished.
"YOU are the reason Igneel and the others left!" Natsu screamed enraged.
"That is not all… the Celestial Dragon wouldn't leave his master and secret lover, Layla Heartfilia so I killed her as well. I would have killed her daughter but I didn't think it was important but I see she is among us as well…" he approached the disgusted Celestial Mage.
"You are the splitting image of your mother you know?" Devan tried to touch her but Capricorn attempted to kick him, to which Devan reacted by simply ducking and backing away.
"A little overprotective there Capricorn? Well, it can't be helped that a Stellar Spirit protects their Princess and one of the few people who can break my curse on Acnologia. The Stellar Spirit Mage that has so much power she could even summon the Spirit King am I right Leo?…" Loke and Capricorn flinched.
"What do you mean?" Lucy finally asked.
"Capricorn, you didn't tell her? Shame on you…" Lucy looked at the spirit feeling confused and betrayed.
"What is he talking about?" her eyes laced with unshed tears.
"Layla-sama told me never to speak of it" Capricorn said, his voice filled with guilt.
"Yes, Lucy Heartfilia… You are not a child of Judo Heartfilia. You are an Illegitimate Child, that's why he treated you that way when you were young. And when Layla died he was so angry at your mother for this act of betrayal that he lashed out at you!" Devan taunted.
"Shut up, bastard!"
