Chapter 8- Sabertooth is Number One!
After dumping Emma and Hanna back at the guild (which received a couple of 'what the hell did you do to them?'), Maddie and Tiffany set out to Sabertooth.
"Are you sure this is a good idea…?" Maddie muttered, as she plopped down on a train bench. "Man… I'm getting tired of these trains."
"Screw you." Tiffany groaned. "I'm going to sleep." Maddie shrugged, as she herself pulled out her book (which she still hadn't finished after a good month much to Tiffany's disbelief) and began immersing herself in it.
~After the long train ride~
The 2 girls entered the huge guild hall. It was hectic, but it didn't phase them, considering Fairy Tail was much worse.
"Yo!" Tiffany yelled, raising an arm. "Quiet down!"
"ORDER IN THE COURT!" Maddie yelled. "OBJECTION! INCONSISTENCY!"
"I swear, all those law and order video games hurt your brain..." Tiffany mumbled, patting Maddie's head.
":3" Maddie replied, looking up at her with twinkly eyes.
"Holy shit, yelling that made you really happy didn't it?" Tiffany asked. Maddie gave a nod and the two promptly skipped over to Frosch. Rogue was sitting next to he/she, but he didn't give two shits, so he went on with sipping his drink.
"It's loud in here..." She said absentmindedly.
"Fro thinks so too!" Maddie high-fived a anthropomorphic cat in a frog suit. That's a first.
"Okay... so Maddie got high off of yelling Defense Attorney words. Good to know?" Tiffany said, although it sounded more like a question... and she wasn't talking to anyone. Tiffany looked around and saw a particularly red exceed sitting beside her.
"Where is Eucliffe?" Tiffany asked, prodding Lector with her pointer finger.
"You mean Sting-kun? He's with Yukino. Who are you?" The exceed replied.
"I'm Tiffany of Fairy Tail," Tiffany replied, raising an eyebrow. "What's it to you?"
"Well, Sting is my brother, so..." Lector trailed. "Or at least, honorary brother."
"Wait... Then you should call him Onii-chan, right? Not -kun?" Tiffany asked, half snickering as she imagined Sting's reaction. And although she would never admit it, she had a soft spot in her heart for animals.
"Good point... Thanks for the help!" Lector chirped.
"So will you take me to Sting?" Tiffany asked.
"Sure," He replied, hopping off of his perch and leading her across the guild to a big area. Sting was, of course, sitting in the middle.
"He was in plain sight the whole time..." Tiffany trailed, sweat-dropping.
"Onii-chan! You have a visitor!" Lector called.
"Onii-chan? Well ... Okay. Bring him over!" Sting replied.
"I'm a girl!" Tiffany growled, waving her arm accusingly at the white dragon slayer.
"Oh! Hello!" Yukino chirped. She had been sitting beside him (Perhaps cuddling…?).
"Hai. I'm Tiffany of Fairy Tail," Tiffany stated, bowing. "I've come to invite your guild to a festival."
"Fairy Tail? I can believe that, but how did a girl like you get into Fairy Tail without a fuss?"
"...Special circumstances. Are you doubting my strength, though?" Tiffany asked, eyebrow furring down.
"...Oh, sorry, guess I am," Sting replied, a sneer adorning his face.
"Then fight me. Maddie, get over here!" Tiffany called, turning and yelling. The strawberry red haired girl skittered over, tripping over herself.
"Yes, m'lord!?" Maddie asked mockingly, trying to stand straight.
"Fight Sting with me," Tiffany ordered. Maddie's jaw dropped.
"You better be lying," Maddie said, shocked, "Seriously."
"Nope. Now help me." Tiffany said, clearly seriously.
"This will be good for my memory…" Rufus said, walking up to the fight that was brewing.
"You're insane, Taffy!"
"Then if you won't help," Tiffany said, smirking, "I'll just fight him myself."
"You're paying for my hospital bill then..." Maddie trailed, sweat-dropping. If Tiffany fought him alone, she'd probably suffer heavy injuries. If she fought him with me, then we'd only suffer some injuries...
~Sting Eucliffe VS Tiffany (and Maddie?)~
Tiffany gave a grin as a little crowd-circle was created. Maddie, on the other hand, was pretty much about to pee herself.
"Requip!" Tiffany chanted, reappearing in armor and with weapons. Maddie recognized the armor as the Assassin armor. It increased speed to a godly speed and gave the user lightning powers. The weapon she held was rather light- but deathly sharp twin katanas. This odd combo obviously was a plan devised with her madness.
"Maddie, just listen to whatever I say, alright?" Tiffany said, turning towards her.
Maddie gave a complying nod- Tiffany was surprisingly serious.
"You ready, blondie?" Tiffany taunted.
"Yep! But don't judge me for beating up a girl."
"Of course, Sir slowass!"
"White Drive!" Sting yelled, but Tiffany zipped past him, catching him in surprise.
"Oh! Speed armor!" Sting mumbled rather loudly. "The weakness is... that it's easy to break!"
"Holy Ray!" Sting yelled, pushing his palms together and creating a huge ray. It blasted towards Tiffany. "Requip: Spiked Shield!"
The giant, spiked shield easily protected both of the girls from the ray.
Sting hissed to himself. "Fuck..."
"Okay Maddie, transform!" Tiffany called.
"...Into what?' Maddie asked.
"Platypus!" She ordered. Maddie wanted to cry at the thought of being that horrid form, but transformed. The guild erupted into laughter, including Sting.
"Now add wings!" Tiffany ordered.
"You know I can't do that very well!" Maddie replied, waving her duck bill in emphasis.
"Then.." Tiffany trailed, picking her up. She suddenly tossed Maddie into the air. "Fly, Pupa, fly!" Out of sheer horror, Maddie actually tried hard and sprouted a large pair of puffin wings.
"Good job!" Tiffany chirped.
"You BITCH!" Maddie shrieked from the sky.
"Aww, thank you." Tiffany laughed. "I've always wanted to be a female dog." The guild roared with laughter, watching the side-show as Sting began charging up for his next attack.
"I'll get you guys with this-" Sting smirked confidently, his hand gathering light for what everyone assumed was Holy Nova. At this moment, Tiffany's grin got only wider, as the guild members began scrambling for cover. Maddie squeaked in alarm, flying to hide in the crook of Tiffany's armor.
"Requip! Space Armor!" Tiffany shouted, light covering her as well. Sting growled.
"You really think you still have a chance?" He asked. "Give it up- HOLY NOVA!" The bright light began expanding, and expanding, it almost engulfed the girls- until it simply… disappeared.
Everyone stared at Sting in confusion. Well, everybody but Tiffany, who was whooping in excitement.
"Fuck yea!" Tiffany yelled, pumping her fist into the air. "You wanna say that again bitch? You still think I can't do anything against you?"
"How-" Sting sputtered. Maddie floated out from her safe spot.
"Don't question it." Maddie answered. "It'll be better for your brain."
"Last shot Maddie~" Tiffany laughed evilly. "Do le golden sphere."
"But we already nullified one of his most powerful moves he can do on his own, what more do we need?" Maddie whined, not really wanting to use the gold sphere. "And besides, I'll faint oh smart one!" Tiffany shrugged, not really caring.
"If you're not going to do anything, I will." At this point, Rogue stepped in, putting a hand on Sting's shoulder.
"That's enough." He said, stopping the fight. "When is this festival you speak of?" Tiffany pouted slightly, seeing that the fight was now over.
"April 10th." Tiffany replied. "Will you guys be coming?" Rogue nodded, as Frosch trotted over as well.
"Frosch thinks Fairy-san is very strong!" She chirped, smiling at Tiffany. "Can Platypus-chan turn into a frog too?" Maddie changed back into a human, a look of shock on her face.
"So I'm known as Platypus-chan now?"
"Yup." Tiffany snickered.
"Is that all you needed?" Sting snarled.
"Of course." Tiffany smiled fakely at him. "Unless, you want to get pwned by us again, then we're fine."
As the two girls walked out of the guild, they heard Sting's frustrated screams of SHE'S EVEN WORSE THAN NATSU! Tiffany's sadistic smile only widened even more, as Maddie sighed, clutching her Natsu scarf closer to her. Figures one of her best friends just had to get high off of fighting.
~With Hanna and Emma~
"I'm bored~"
"Oh, suck it up. I'm not in a very good mood, with being frozen in all."
"I still can't believe Lyon froze you." Emma giggled, laughing again at the memory. Hanna glared at her, and the girl forcibly swallowed her laughter. "Murrrr. Banana-chan?" Hanna sighed.
"What?" She asked, clearly irritated.
"I'm bored."
"Ugh, and how am I supposed to fix that? You're always bored." Hanna replied, unamused.
"Hey- do ya think we could make something out of those old raincoats we found in the storage rooms?" Emma asked brightly, sitting up straight. Hanna replied with a 'hmm', and went back to humming Fairy Tail openings. Emma shrugged, and ran downstairs. She tore open the closet door, shouted "B&E!" (A/N Dane Cook reference anyone?), and pulled out four, giant yellow raincoats. An idea suddenly came to mind, and Emma rushed to the cabinets to find some scissors, sticks, and string.
"HANNA! GIVE ME A HAND!" Emma screamed, hoping her voice would carry upstairs.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Hanna shouted back, irritated that someone had interrupted her AMV making time.
"HELP ME MAKE SOME KITES~~"
"EMMA WE DON'T HAVE MATERIALS FOR KITES-" Hanna started coughing, and Emma stared at the stairs in confusion. "GOD DAMMIT EMMA STOP GIVING ME YOUR COUGHS!"
"I'M SORRY~"
"SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT!"
"COULD YOU JUST PLEASE HELP ME WITH THE KITES!"
"IF TIFFANY GETS MAD AT US FOR THIS I'M PUTTING ALL THE BLAME ON YOU!"
"AYE SIR~"
"...FINE, I'LL HELP YOU WITH THE GODDAMN KITES, BUT YOU OWE ME." She screeched, shuffling down the stairs. Walking past her sister, Hanna snatched a glass from the cupboard, poured some water, chugged it, choked for a minute or seven, then walked back into the room.
"YOU MADE ME YELL SO MUCH MY VOICE HURTS." Hanna croaked loudly, not realizing she was still yelling. Emma merely laughed, pulling out a couple of old, faded yellow raincoats.
"You know where the string and sticks are?" She asked, pulling out a pair of scissors.
"Pshh, you think I know where that is?" Hanna scoffed, crossing her arms. "Just make do with whatever is in that closet. Heavens knows what Tiffany shoves into there."
"Well- I found some shoelaces." Emma said, her head reappearing from the depths of the closet. "And I think there might be some meter sticks in there."
"These are going to be beautiful kites." Hanna drawled sarcastically, plopping down on a chair.
"At least I've excited about making majestic kites unlike someone." Emma huffed puffing out her cheeks, setting the ingredients of her kite next to her.
"Again- They'll totally look like kites."
"... Bastard." Emma whispered sullenly, moping in the corner as a depressing aura surrounded her.
"We're related- so you're technically calling yourself a bastard as well."
"Well at least I know I'm one."
"Once again you dissed yourself. God Emma, do we have to get a teacher to teach you how to diss someone?"
"SHUT UP!"
A large crash suddenly came from the tower, causing both twins to stop bickering.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT?!" Emma cried, looking up in alarm, as a flower crown suddenly appeared on her head.
"LIKE I WOULD KNOW." Her sister cried back, she pulled out her pencil, starting to write down an enchantment.
"Yeah it doesn't seem like the time to be dancing with your purple writing and shit." Emma growled and rolled her eyes, she got up and started walking up the stairs. "What happened up there guys?!" She called from the staircase.
Uhh… Nothing… Lalia's voice echoed back. Go back to your 'internet surfing' or whatever the hell you call it. The twins stared suspiciously at the stairs.
"On three, we both run up, mmkay?" Hanna whispered, dropping her pen to the ground, as Emma did the same besides her.
"1…"
"2…"
"3!"
In sync the twins dashed up the stairs, spinning up the spiral case of stairs. As they finally reached the mahogany gate, they shoved it open, to find-
"HOLY SHIT CIRCLETINE ARE THOSE MY CLOTHES?!"
"OH FUCK LET GO OF THOSE- DON'T TOUCH MY BODY PILLOW!"
In other words- complete, utter, chaos.
~With Tiffa-chi and Maddie~
As the two girls sat at the train platform, waiting for the train, Tiffany couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was following them.
"Hey Maddie." She whispered. "You get the feeling that we're being followed?" Said girl only grunted in response.
"I'm too goddamn tired." She yawned, leaning against her friend. "It's 12 in the goddamn night, and I didn't get any sleep last night. Carry me onto the train or I'm eating all of your strawberries next time."
"You're dead if you do that." The girl reminded her, scoffing lightly as she once again scanned the 'empty' train station. Maddie however, heard none of that- as she was already fast asleep on Tiffany's shoulder.
"Your head is so heavy." Tiffany whined, as the train pulled into the station. Hauling the slumbering girl over her shoulder, she strode boldly into the compartment. Not noticing at all, when two figures lept into the train after her.
As she dropped Maddie onto one of the benches, a rustling sound caught her attention. Quickly re-quipping a silver blade, she rushed out into the hallway, only to come face to face with…
"Holy shit- you really want to get beat up by me again that badly, huh?"
"Kuh." Sting growled, "I'm not really interested in seeing your ugly face again, it's Rogue that wants to see you." Tiffany raised an eyebrow at this.
"Really?" She laughed. "Ugly face is the best insult you can come up with?" Sting just huffed at her outburst crossing his arms, and he pushed aside Tiffany to cross into the compartment across the hallway and slammed the door shut. Tiffany rolled her eyes, and glanced at the other figure standing in the hallway.
"And what do you wish to see me about?" She asked, raising a brow. "Is it really so urgent that you needed to follow us?"
"Hn." Rogue muttered. "I wish to know how you stopped Sting's Holy Nova."
"Well wouldn't you love to know," Tiffany drawled sarcastically, as she turned to open the compartment door. "That can wait for another day." Rogue's aura suddenly released, and while this would've caused most people to give in, Tiffany merely rolled her eyes, and pulled open the door.
"Threatening me isn't going to work." She calmly reminded him. "You can wait until tomorrow." And with that- she shut the door behind her, the lock clicking in place.
A/N If Tiffany seems really OP in this, please note that that's an inside joke- and that she is absolutely not a Mary Sue. And if you do call her one, she will go Demon-mode on you.
