Chapter 2- Black burn / Natsu vs. Bloom
^ This actually has nothing to do with the chapter I just thought it sounded cool =D
Apologies for a rather late chapter…..
but seeing as iv been buried head first in end-of-year-study-exam-revision,
and haven't the time to touch any of my story's with a ten foot frick'in pole…..
…I'd say I've done rather well, and seeing as I haven't updated my "Trace of Fairy's" since like…..July!…..it would be wise not to complain.
But I will still happily accept reviews. Both positive (to make me smile) and negative (so I can laugh about how I done care = )
On to other less mentally concerning matters….
-To all the "guests" that review can you please leave a name so I can thank or reply to your review in the next chapter….or just so I can tell you guys apart?
-Captain Cranch- I know what you mean! i wanted to stretched out the intros…..but it was already like 3000 words, and I was contemplating between smashing my head into the desk or starting the pile of homework I had been ignoring…. as for that review… O8 wow….. Because I would have given it a 5/10
(blushes and waves hand dramatically)…. Come now….flattery will only get you everywhere…. =D
-FDsecretart- …..yes…I beginning to think so….. =D but thx for the review!
-MewScarletRedfox8- my dear mew….who didn't freak out…. Cause, if that kinda chapter doesn't make you inner fangirl squeal in delight….your quite possibly dead inside. And I will, the problem is that I only ever seem to get ANY ideas or writing flow at the worst possibly times
Or most often when I'm trying to study chemistry, and I'll tell you, it's really! Hard to pass a test when all you can think of is ….
With a beast like roar Glieith swung is axe at her, Charity danced away barely missing It. And meet his follow through sword thrust with her own, sparks and steel clashed.
IT. IS. VERY. DISTRATING!. =D
Some of you may have noticed the misspelled "Titania" in the previous chapter. And so I would just like to say …..DAM YOU AUTO CORRECT!
And as a note I have chosen to take a different angle on the chapters,
instead of doing the common full fight per chapter, I will be attempting to cut and paste them around each other?
It's just to keep it interesting and to test myself
…***…
"I think I'm lost" Flora finally admitted out loud. Her shimmering pink and green wings were barely fluttering at all. Tried with fatigue, she had been flying to long she doubted they would even keep her airborne much longer. The nature fairy flew closer to the ground, her feet dragging gently across the terrain for a few seconds before she fully landed. She could have sworn she heard her wings sighed with relief as they folded gently down against her back. Everything aching for a long rest, she glancing at the landscape around her, somehow the fairy had managed to land herself on the outskirts of Magnolia.
Despite her best effort she still hadn't been able to locate a single Fairy Tail member. With a sigh she dragged herself to the nearest bench. It was an old wooden one, simple and grooveless, an ancient steel frame and a few elderly bolts and nails held the whole thing together.
In short the thing was a half rotten death trap.
But, to a tired, weary fairy, right now it was a golden savour. Slumping down on it she barely registered its creek in disagreement. Instead she looked unenthusiastically out over the view.
She was way up on the on a cliff to the left of Magnolia. While the stone monument was dry and baron, brushed with a pale dust like dirt, the town was a mix of green pastures and dainty houses that gathered in the valley behind it that stretched all the way out to the mountains in the distance. Made the whole cliff, seem like some ancient headstone
CREEPY!
An uncomfortable shiver ran the length of her back, the ghost touch spreading through her skin like a plague. Flora hugged herself for support, she didn't like this place. While it was beautiful, and flourishing with life and magic, Flora couldn't help but feel that she and the winx simply didn't belong there?
Like the world of Earthland rejected their presence?
Flora sighed again, trying to shake the strange thoughts off, she needed focused directly on the task at hand.
"As soon as we have destroyed Fairy Tail we can go, and I'll never have to see this place again!'
She decided confidently
I just have to find them first!
Feeling already re-energised, Flora leaped to her feet, the nature fairy prepared to return to her search, when she found that new luck was on her side.
Coincidently it seemed the cliff top was also was the towns best lookout point. As it also stretched up, reaching higher than any other monument in sight. Towering over the landscape, the view was spectacular, spreading the town out before her like an ornate map.
Flora felt a smile tug back onto her lips, as she cast her chocolate yes back over the view.
Finally some good luck, it should be easy to spot the fairy tail meeting house from here!
(yeah, I know it's called a guild hall, but that doesn't mean she does)
but her new hope fell short, when she realised that she had absolutely no idea what she was looking for. For all she knew that meeting house could be some tiny building in the corner, of a half castle and the harbours edge. (hehe, which it is!)
Flora sighed again blowing a stray lock of her mousy blonde hair out of her face.
"how am I support to find anyone in a town this big" she muttered
settling herself back down on the bench she let her fairy transformation slip away and reverted back to human form, which included a baby green T and short bib overall in her favourite shade of pink.
"I should probably save energy while I figure this out" she decided out loud.
One thing was certain through
Flora thought, pulling at her shorts hem as she tried to relax against the bench, failing miserable. She was way to tense to think clearly.
I'm goanna need a different plan
Flora chewing on her lip as she pondered the thought.
Finding a hand full of witches and wizards in a town this big and so full of magic wasn't as easy as they had originally thought.
( iv realised that all the winx people would refer to mages as witches and wizards, because that's what they are used to )
everything was so different here? The people, the magic even the flowers here were strange, while they would still bend to her will, she couldn't seem to make any telepathic connection?
Maybe she could meet up with one of the other winx!
The idea can to her with such force it was like being violently slapped! Causing her to bolt back off of the bench, tearing at the pocket that housed her phone.
How did I not think of that sooner!
Snatching her phone from its hiding place in her pocket, her fingers worked madly on dialling Tecna's number. But she had barely turned it on before a red warning sign lit up the screen
NO SIGNAL.
The flashing words read. With an irritated groan the fairy flopped back against the back bench.
Off course.
New world meant new rules. And a lack of any signal was apparently one of them.
"For the love of Persephone, how am I support to find them now!" Flora half yelled. Annoyance breaking her usual care and collective nature
(Persephone: Greek goddess of flowers…..sorry…. i just couldn't help being Puntastic)
"Can I help you miss" a cherry voice asked out of the blue, Breaking though Floras brief anger.
The nature fairy yelped in surprise, nearly jumping out of her skin while doing so. She whirled on her heel too face the voices owner.
Perhaps she thought it was a Fairy Tail member about to attack her?
Her imagination quickly taking root, painting a vile figure, draped in blooded robes, ghastly dark magic writhing in their hands ready to spear her through the back.
Or maybe even a brutish bandit?
With broken teeth and ripped rags for clothing, a crude and blunted dagger ready inn their grip.
But still it surprised her as she caught sight of the speaker, she found neither could hope to fit the description.
Before her was a white hair beauty, with the appearance of that of an angel. Her pale hair was smooth silk. And flawless marble skin lit up her Blue eyes that out shown that of sapphires. Her hourglass figure was wrapped in a maroon dress that hugged her top half, showing of her model body, and spreading out once past her hips reaching to her ankles. There was a brown bag slung over her shoulder.
She smiled brightly was she approached Flora from a side part leading to the rocky valley behind the cliff.
Flora blinked again, causing the woman to giggle a pearl of laughter
"hi" she smiled "you're not from around here are you?"
Flora outwardly sighed
"thank you" she smiled back
was it really that obvious?
"I think I'm lost" Flora told her awkwardly a light blush staining her cheeks "I was just trying to find a building" the nature fairy extended a hand.
The white haired woman took it with a firm grip, that Flora had never expected of such a dainty person, but she recovered quickly and continued to smile warmly.
"well, welcome to Magnolia miss" the woman grinned "how can I help you?"
"well, I'm actually looking for the Fairy Tail meeting house"
"the guild hall!" the women's eye brows shot up "so you must be a mage then" she asked brightly
"urrh…yeah" Flora played along shyly "I use….um- I use natural magic" Flora decided.
Technically she wasn't lying. But still, her words stumbled jagged and unsure from her mouth.
The white haired woman looked at her curiously, head tilted ajar, an unconvinced eyebrow slowly climbed her forehead. The unspoken words were as clear as day, she would defiantly have to be far more convincing than that?
Flexing her fingers, Flora let out a small cascaded of green and pink glitter. The magic spiralled to the dusty ground turning the small patch of baron earth green as grass and flowers sprouted at Floras feet.
"See" Flora grinned with the confidence that her magic always gave her.
"Oh wow!" the white haired woman gasped in delight, "That's absolutely beautiful!", immediately she sank to her knees, reaching out a single slender hand to touch one of pansies as it bloomed beneath her fingertips, her sapphire eyes glowed with enchantment.
it was only then that Flora real take notice of the magically aura that curled lightly around the woman, a fine mist that weaved and threaded throughout the space around her in delicate strokes, it slowly merged with the haze in a blur of vibrant colour. The woman straightened the wisps of magic helixing around her again in an elegant pirouette before fading out of sight.
( I was actually watching my incense burn while I wrote this part… and it sort of started dribbling into my writing?...
I REGRT NOTHING!)
But… despite its breathless effect it cast upon her, Flora couldn't help but feel… were was something odd? Or strange about it?
Then it clicked.
It was the colour!
All the Fairy's Flora knew had enchanting bright colours, lively blues, red and yellows. Even most of the townsmen's of Magnolia had, had similar colours and shades.
Which seemed puzzling to her, as only Fairy's used light magic and yet? Here where dozens of witches and wizards (who generally seem to have darker auras in winx) with the same type of bright auras. All of course, but this snow haired woman, unlike her fellow Earth landers she had an aura that was the venous shade of Dark purple.
Flora tried to hide her shock, but it was like wrestling with a constrictor. She couldn't understand
how could such a lovely person have such a dark area?
"So are you up here to train?" the woman asked in curiosity as finally tearing her gaze from the flowers, she stood back up.
"train?" Floras raised a confused eyebrow "why would you train up here?"
"Arh... well" the woman laughed "Most members use these rock valleys for training grounds, that way they can go full out without accidently destroying any building" she giggled at a memory "it was getting pretty bad, so they moved it out here."
"Um, ok" Flora followed.
Glancing back at the valley with new knowledge, she began to spot things she hadn't prior. Banks and hill sides baring signs of powerful training; holes, scorch marks and to her shock a large chunk missing from the smaller cliffs nearby.
Flora could have sworn her jaw hit the dusty ground.
What are these people, Monsters!
"What kind of trained does that!" she gasped in shock. The only training she and the winx were ever exposed to was flight courses? Or simple target practice.
"Just normal training stuff" the woman told her with a shrug "it really depended on what their magic" she explained "Natsu is responsible for the burns of course; same goes for Erza and Gray with the craters and other damage. But then again, they have more destructive magic. People like Lucy have a far more peaceful training method…
I think it's got something to do with meditation?" She pondered, lighting taping her bottom lip with a single slender fingertip, all the while failing to notice Floras dumbstruck face.
"Any way!" the women decided turning back to face the fairy "Well, welcome to Fairy Tail miss Flora, I'm sure you'll get to see it all first-hand soon enough" she grinned "Give me a second and I'll take you there" picking her bag up again and dusting away the dirt that clung to it.
Flora blinked, once, twice
"Really" Flora gaped.
"Of course!" she replied with a bell like laugh "after all it would be rude since I'm heading there now and all" motioning for Flora to follow as she set of down the path.
"Really, why?" Flora asked hurrying to fall into step next to her new friend
Why would such a nice person have anything to do with those kinds of people?
"Well I am a member after all" she laughed, but Flora didn't join in. in fact Flora froze mid-step as her heart skipped a beat.
"y-you are" Flora stammered.
Her!
Floras mind was spinning causing her to take a step back. How could such a charming, kind person be a member of the guild that had aided the Ogron and his group.
"oh" the woman continued overlooking Floras reaction "that right I haven't introduced myself"
she turned to a still shocked Flora and gave her a carless smile "silly me, sorry let me try again"
"welcome to Magnolia miss Flora" she extended hand towards the nature fairy. Who continued to only gape? The woman barely noticed and simply continued to speak.
"I'm Mirajane Strauss"
(honestly I kinda feel sorry for this pair up….but it was an out of the hat draw like all the rest,
save Natsu, Lucy and Erza fights, and one other all the others are random selections)
but I'm still quite happy, because now I can dictate this part of the chapter to the one girl (I can't even remember her name =D. ) that had a yelled at me (with the use of quite a range of colourful language I might add) on how Mira stood no chance against flora or Tecna…
….let's just see about that?...
…***…
For any one confused this is how guild ranking works ….
Average member
(lowest rank) eg: Romeo, Jet, Droy
S-class candidate (non- official rank) (people that are possible s-class members)eg: Natsu, Gray, Juvia. Although Lucy and Gajeel weren't nominated for the s-class trials they are still considered close to s-class.
S-class member (third highest) eg: Laxus, Erza, Mystogan, Mirajane
SS- class members (seconded highest rank) only known SS-class ranked member is Gildarts
Master (highest)
Makarov= fairy tail.
Jiemma= sabertooth
Bob= blue Pegasus.
(Although some lower ranking members are more powerful than another guilds master. for example Natsu would have wasted Jiemma if Minerva hadn't stepped in.)
…***…
"Here I go" an air-born Bloom announced a bright red glow escaping from between her closed fists "Flame Storm Vortex Burst" she yelled a sphere of fiery glitter exploding from her palm and raced at the celestial mage.
Despite the incoming danger Lucy didn't even blink, in fact against all odds, she smiled!
The winx pair looked like they had been slapped
"Fire mage, ha" Lucy smiled, shocking the winx "you obviously don't know much about us do you? or Natsu in particular"
Bloom fire ball was nearly upon her but Lucy still wouldn't move. But then at the last moment, Bloom and Stella gasped as Natsu stepped between the fire and his guild mate. The attack hit him in the centre of his smiling face.
"yar!" Stella cheered loudly for her friend, though it may have not hit its original target it still made contact with the enemy
But her victory was short lived,
because Instead of screaming and flailing in pain, Natsu did quite the opposite and smirked amongst the curling flames that engulfed his body,
"you pixie girls are new in magnolia!" he exclaimed calm as day and suddenly opening his wide he began to inhale Blooms flames, the fire sweeping and spinning in a vortex down his throat.
and when it was all gone as swallowed it with a sly grin and licked his chops
"don't tell me that's all you two got?" he taunted
The expressions that had donned the Winx girl's faces could only be described as a mix between utter horror and downright dumbstruck.
"You eat fire!" Stella gaped in astonishment desperately trying to make sense of the situation
"well dur" he droned, pointing one lazy finger at himself "I'm a fire dragon, what else would I do with it?"
"Seriously!" Lucy asked in general surprise "how have you to pixies never heard of slayers eating their element"
"we're Fairy's!" Stella suddenly snapped in an outburst "not pixies, not take-what-ever mages, we're FAIRY'S"
it wasn't much of a surprise when the two mages snorted in response, after all there were lots of worlds were people didn't believe in fairy's?
it was Natsu that spoke up first, though he seemed a bit of key, as he noticed a strange yet extremely familiar feeling growing him his gut.
"if you're a fairy?" he challenged "then where's your tail?"
Stella opened her mouth to reply but paused, he words clicking in her thoughts
"wait? WHAT!" She yelped "fairies don't have tails?"
"Great, another cosplayer like evergreen" Lucy groaned pacing away. She seemed relaxed but Natsu knew she still had one of her hands resting on either her whip or gate keys.
"if Ever saw, she would go….. she would…" Natsu faded off a strange look beginning to grow over his features, earning a raised eyebrow from Lucy,
"you feeling ok Nats-"
The slayers eyes grew wide, his face suddenly twisting, his whole body giving into sudden violent shudders.
"Natsu!" Lucy gasped in horror darting to his side the blue cat 'happy' dove from the sky to join her, the dragon slayers hands twitching towards his neck. The winx girls watched both confused and interested from the safety of the air. A sickly gage escaped Natsu's throat as he collapsed to the ground.
"Natsu!" she yelled "Natsu, look at me, tell me what's wrong!" Lucy pleaded, taking hold of her partners pink hair she forced his head up to face her.
Experience told her what to expect,
a face twisted and distorted in pain,
but….
When she caught sight of his face and watering eyes, it was nothing she had expected to see
But they weren't filled with torment and pain as.
In fact she had the sudden urge to slap the idiotic bugger.
Sucking air, she stood stepping away from her gagging friend, motioning for Happy to do the same.
Once again I've made the oldest mistake
she scolded herself,
all the experience in existence doesn't count when it comes to Natsu
"you're so pathetic Natsu" Lucy sighed, forcibly rubbing at her temples.
Her words were hash, even causing the winx to gasp in shock
"doesn't she even care his in pain?" Stella whispered to her own red haired partner, who turned to face her.
"I thought they were partners?" Bloom told her a worried look taking her beautiful face
"its this really how they treat their teammates?"
Lucy only sighed, digging one perfectly manicured nail into the space above her eyebrow
Because it wasn't pain or anything of the sort in Natsu eyes.
Only sickness and disgust, the kind she knew he made after eating something he probably wasn't supposed to…. (Which, oddly enough, he did pretty often?)
Natsu whimpered at her feet "i-it" Stella and Bloom lent closer to hear
"it…" he gasped "…tastes so…BAD" he hacked, next to him Lucy and Happy both face-palmed.
if it was possible for jaws to hit the ground while airborne…Stella and Bloom were testing that theory now.
Natsu however didn't seem to care, he was too busy chocking "arrhg it tastes like glitter" he complained from his crawling position, shreds of Blooms fire dripping from his mouth like molten rock,
( ^ see Tracy! I told you I would have a clever way to stop him eating her fire!
Again no deep meaning, its just simply that her fire is bad quality like Bora's, except worse)
"ok….."Natsu panted as Lucy helped him uneasily to his feet, "not! Doing that again" he leaned on her greatly, as the toxic fire in his gut poured out his mouth, with a strained look he grimaced at the hovering pair,
"are you sure you're a fire mage" he managed between gags "cause this has got to be the worst tasting fire I've ever tasted!" he choke.
Stella glanced over at her fellow club member, a single eyebrow arching high up her fore head,
there was a seconds notices before she blurted out what they were both thinking.
"WHAT THE HELL!" she yelped gesturing wildly at the guild members, Bloom herself couldn't help but agree,
These 'mages' made no sense!
She had met scores of witches and wizards over the years, but these two?
they took the crown
on crazy,
unpredictable
and downright random!
at least the Trix kept to the usual pattern, they like most witches and wizards, dressed in darker colours and wore things like leather chain's -
(which I might add looks way cooler them what the 'winx' wear and is FUCKEN AMAZING!)
- used simple dark magic, were general all the same.
But this lot?
They were way of the radar, this fire eating so called 'dragon slayer' and a witch rumoured have extremely powerful celestial powers! But those were magic that only fairy's possessed. Even the way they dressed was unheard of?
(and I'm going the end of 'Tartorus' arc outfits here, cause I just read chapter 416 and don't know if I should cheer, cry or scream in agony?)
Lucy was dressed in a vertical striped crimson vest shirt, armless with a high folded collar. A simple black belted miniskirt, and some of the cutest calf high boots Bloom had ever laid eyes on.
Her salmon haired partner wore an open plain black sandals and puffy black, white and gold 'genie' pants, his top half was covered with only an open vest and scaly patterned scarf leaving his chest bare for all eyes to see his brawny abs. the sight muscles like that would easily have most Alfea girls swooning in seconds, Bloom and Stella would never admit that they too were fighting the blush in their cheeks.
Neither could deny that the slayer was tone; way more so than any of the red fountain boys?
In all these years as fairies none of the winx had ever come across witches/wizards like what they saw now!
Blooms thoughts returned to the some-what battle ground as. huffing loudly Natsu fully straighten, his balance returning, now that the toxin was out of his system already he could feel the sickening feeling fading. Already bouncing back from his suddenly illness he stepped away from Lucy and stood by himself, sucking breath his cocky grin returned, with a snap of his fingers his hands burst into flame.
"Now where were we?" he asked confidently, with a crack fire erupted from his fists and quickly spread up to his elbows "you pixies are gonna learn what a real fairy's power it like!"
He promised with a wild smile, and at that moment all across Magnolia all the winx members felt the unnatural shiver of his vow that each in turn would learn.
Lucy and Natsu charged forward, Natsu instantly winding up of every ones favourite attack, skidding to a stop he sucked for breath
"Fire Dragon" he began, feeling the writhing heat and fire thrash in his belly raging to get out.
(hehehe, had to quote him…..in not even sorry!)
"ROAR!"
And he did just that, the deadly helix explode from his glut and out of his mouth.
(Just admit it you bloody well love it when he does it)
to say it surprised the winx girls were "surprised" would be one massive understatement?
The confident looks slipped from their faces like water over ice. And was instantly replaced with a sequence of looks, changing of shock, to alarm and ending with absolute horror with a dash of scared shitless?
The pair let out union screams so loud they broke the sound barrier and could probably be heard of galaxy's away back in Alfea.
In all honestly…it was fuckin priceless, at least form Lucy's point of view. Probs not the winx…..
The only reason the pair didn't wind up inferno cinders was the last second shields the girls managed to summon, though the space protection they provided was so small you could barely call the thing a 'shield' as the Fairy's both had to curl up into balls behind their meagre protection to avoid being reduced to ash.
But it didn't stop the fire from fire from catching and burning their abnormally long hair and dresses.
They both cried out in pain as the flames licked and singed there's wing tips.
It was safe to say that when the fire died down the two fairies's nearly dropped to the ground from exhausting there magic.
Stella way the first to act "Bloom" she yelled to her partner, who nodded in response and the pair let lose their most powerful attacks,
"Bright Star!"
"Flame Storm Vortex Burst" (wow that's a mouth full!)
They cried in unison, the red and gold light lit up the park as the winx girls began there counterattack.
Lucy leaped away, the "magic glitter balls' struck the ground harmlessly as gracefully she sidestepped them with the upmost ease.
Natsu's method of dealing with the attack was a good deal different as he blandly just stood there and took hit after hit without a flinch.
The winx girls gaped as there most powerful attacks failed miserably,
"how is this possible" Bloom gasped "not even the Wizards of the Black Circle could stand up to this kind of power!"
Suddenly a red and black blur snatched at Stella gaze. It was Natsu, (who had gotten bored with waiting for something interesting to happen,) shot forward, fire coiling around his feet; he took of rocketing towards the flame fairy.
"BLOOM!" Stella screamed a warning to her friend.
The Star fairy turned to fly to her friend's assistance as the dragon slayer hurtling towards her.
but another voice drew her attention,
"oh no you don't" Lucy cried from below, her Fleuve d'étoiles (river of stars) cylinder in hand she swung it wide, the long water like blue and gold stream gush out and whipped through the air.
Stella yelped as the celestial whip appeared out of nothing, throwing herself out its path she barely made it to safety, although she didn't make it complete unscathed as the whips end cracked wickedly across her lower calf, drawing a think line of blood as its tip cut easily through her skin.
The sola fairy screamed pain.
Desperately she flew higher, glancing over at Bloom; her fellow winx member had activated her shield just in time.
You'll just have to manage without me for a while Bloom. Stella mental promised, turning to look down on Lucy
"hahah you can't reach me up here" Stella laughed, poorly trying to mask the pain in her leg. She could already feel the skin swelling erratically as welts began to bud on her skin, smeared scarlet with the blood seeping from the cut down her calf.
"Is that so?" Lucy smirked; her whip crack as she lunged it at the fairy, as it swung the long stream extended at Lucy's command and curled itself tightly round Stella's calf.
Lucy grinned when the star fairy yelped in surprise "because I think it reaches fine" she told her captive and yanked hard on the rope.
Stella yelped her wings working in overdrive to keep her in the air, and a game of tug-a-war began as Lucy tried to drag the Fairy down.
"Arrh" Lucy cursed her impatience getting the better of her "guess I'll need some back up getting you down ha pixie girl?"
The mage announced taking one hand of the whip to rummage around in the leather pouch at her side, her brow creasing as she searched for a familiar shape.
"I'm a FAIRY Damit!" Stella screeched back "look at my outfit! what do I look like!"
Lucy paused in her search, taking the 'pixies' words to heart she briefly scanned the blond up and down, taking in the short boob tube dress, down to her knee high boots and then back up to her large wings.
"No offence sweetie" Lucy told her with complete honestly "but you look like you should be on a street corner"
(I know that's rich coming from Lucy but I just really wanted a nasty joke in there for some reason?)
It took a moment for Lucy's words to fully sink in before Stella understood what the mage was implying, and the fairy's mouth dropped open, a furious red flush quickly spreading from the tip of her fore head to the top of her small dress.
Stella sucked for breath reading her to scream angrily at the girl,
"I'M A PRINCESS, HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT I LOOK LIKE a WHOR-"
"There!" Lucy whoop of sudden celebration cutting of the aggravated fairy mid rant.
(And also making it quite clear she hadn't been listing)
Drawing a single golden key from the pouched and immediately pointing it out in front of her.
Stella gasped in shock when a suddenly a gold aura that flared form her like golden flame that burnt with the brilliants of the celestial body's. her golden hair stood one end sprayed out like a halo, her orange tank and simple blue skirt billowing as she magic activated.
"OPEN" she commanded, a shining magic circle spiralled into life at the tip of the key and the light erupted brighter than ever, so intense Stella had to shroud her eyes. Completely veiling Lucy from sight as she completed the summoning.
"Gate of the golden bull – Taurus!"
And a sudden as the light had come; it evaporated as if it was never existed, instead in its place something else entirely began to materialise. Taking the form of a monsters man, with the features of that if a dairy bull; complete with horns and a bell.
"Lovely Lucy!" the sprit cheered as he passed through his gate "you're looking heart MOOOving today" he greeted his contracted mage.
Stella on the other hand was gobsmacked, what the hell had just happened?
-What with a bull guy
-were had he come from
-and how it was possible for his eyes to turn into pulsing love hearts!
"Taurus" Lucy greeted the creepy bull man in her usual
my-face-is-up-here-stop-looking-at-my-boobs-you-perv manner
and held her celestial whip out to him, "if you would"
"any time" the sprit whooped, taking the whip and before Stella could even begin to realise what was happening, Taurus gave a sudden and very powerful yank on the rope. Stella screamed as the force to powerful for her wings to fight dragged her down. The emerald earth rushing up to meet her.
…***…
Across the park Natsu grip one to the edge for the terrible fire mages shield, the girl flew back and fore trying to shake him off as he climbed up it to get at her. A cruel (but very entertaining idea forming in his little pea sized brain) and as he reached the top of the foul tasting shield he released a vortex of flame to coil around him in an ungodly image. The take-over mage faulted in her attack as he rose over the barrier to face her.
Natsu's pointed grin grew wildly "Fire Dragon slayer…" he howled, his raised fist burst into a golden flame. Blooms eyes grew into wide globes as the flame raged into an inferno. Natsu could see what they read as he beard down on his victim, shock, confusion, but most of all the broken jagged, shards of fear the filled her eyes.
…***…
When the 'Salamander' Natsu had first climbed onto her shield Bloom had been surprised
(and even impressed …but she would never admit to it)
she had never faced anyone that have ever thought, let alone crazy enough attempted it?
Of course she fully intended to launch another attack at his head, or even disperse her shield?
She had readied her attack, as he scrambled up over the glittering magic defence.
But that was as far as she got, because the creature that rose to face her was not something she could hope to describe as human. Clad in a helix of flame, that coiled around his clothe, rippling through his rosy hair. An endless inferno of hellfire swirled in his eyes like a pit of not return.
The collection of pointed ivory's that made up his mouth grinned mercilessly at her.
And Bloom knew at that moment,
that what stood before was a true dragon.
(….or at least the child of one)
Broken words crumbling on Blooms perfect lips, Shaken and frozen by fear she had never felt before. Bloom discovered her body was refusing her orders to move, to run, to flee!
Muddled thoughts bounded her mind in a tangle of knots.
These people are monsters
hot tears of terror escaped from her eyes.
"Fire dragon slayer…" He roared his fist and most of his arm erupting into flames.
It was like her body had turned against her. Natsu grinned like a madman, his blazing fist aiming for the target which was her head her head.
"Iron Fist!"
…***…
Layla heaved for breath, her morfix staff slippery in her sweaty hands. She held it up in defence; her eyes never left her opponent.
Erza had a staff of her own, Layla wasn't sure where it had come from, one moment the mage had been welding a pair of twin swords and the next she had an elegant wooden staff, steel plates hammered over both of its ends, and engraved with dainty curling carvings that ran from end to end,
Layla expected that the staff must have been lying down somewhere in the sand, and Erza had swapped it with swords when Layla hadn't been looking.
The problem was that Erza was as skilled with a staff as she was with her swords,
but what was worse that she wasn't even really trying?
And yet here she was? Layla, princess of tides, barely keeping up with lowly Witch.
"You're not bad on your feet" her opponent commented casually, though it was quite evident she was not impressed.
Layla gritted her teeth holding the staff out in front of her ready to attack. Keeping her eyes locked on Scarlet,
Erza held her weapon far different to the winx girl.
she griped her staff lightly in one hand, keeping one end pointed down, so that it stood vertically
One steeled plated end hovering a few inches away her ankle, The other end rested against the back of her arm, running smoothly from shoulder to her down pointed palm.
Erza stood calmly, her breathing steady and balanced.
Layla just couldn't understand how she was already covered in scratches and fresh bruises.
But Erza remained unharmed,
how!
How had she barely scratched the woman?
But that wasn't the worst part, no; the worst part was that the whole time they had been fighting; Erza had remained with a look of utter boredom stuck to her faultless feature.
How dare she treat this as a joke! Inwardly cursed
With a growl of angry she leaped forward swing at Erza head, only the mage was no longer there. Instead Layla felt the smooth end of Erza's staff jab with a master's precision at her shoulder.
and with a cry of shock Layla balance abandon her and she toppled over into the dirt, her pink staff knocked from her grasp and she hit the ground face first.
"you should move your left foot back a bit your unbalanced" Erza told the panting fairy as she dragged herself out of the sand of the millionth time and crawled to were her weapon lay.
"SHUT UP!" she screamed at the mage, as she regained her footing.
Baring her teeth in angry She swung her staff wide; Erza dropped gracefully under it and glided away out of the Layla's reach.
WHACK!
Erza staff knocked painfully on Layla's knee caps making the fairy yelp in pain.
"Don't stand so rigid" Erza continued returning gracefully to her feet "its restrict your movement"
"ARRG! Shut UP!" Layla roared bringing her weapon down like a broadsword.
Erza knocked it away with a single swipe of her own,
WHACK
the staff this time connecting with Layla ribs
Layla swing her staff again
WHACK, WHACK
the mages hit landed with care and procession
Layla cursed trying to keep the tears from showing.
with a curling war cry Layla bought her weapon down again
The staff clashed, and locked between there welders
Layla yelped as the staff rung painfully in her hands.
"griping your weapon to tightly will weaken your defence" Erza stated her beautiful face not inches from Layla's own
then without warning Erza summoned her strength and with the upmost ease she shoved the water fairy away and with a blur and a swipe. Layla's staffs were knocked yet again from her grasp and her legs were swiped out from beneath her. She landed with a heave 'OMMFF' the wind knocked from her lungs. Gasping for breath Layla tried directly not to cry. Not only had she been defeated so easily but she had been humiliated. Her body screamed at her just to stay down as slowly she dragged herself onto her side and then up onto her knees.
Only to her shock find.
Erza Scarlet causally walking away from her.
"HEY!" Layla yelled angrily getting to her feet and staggering after the mage. "Where do you think you're going I'm not done yet!" she yelled
ahead of her Erza stopped and turned to face her, "your fight is over" she declared "leave now and save yourself the humiliation" Layla wined when Erza suddenly smiled warmly "go home and train, maybe one day we'll fight again. I don't know how you have my guild confused with but I hope you find them"
Layla sneered at the mages words "still denying your guilds crimes" she shouted
"if you want a fight I'll give you one she promised angrily" Erza's eyes still on her Layla reached for the sea beside them, felt its energy and called it forth.
Erza raised an interested eyebrow as the strange girl rose into the air before her accompanied by a monstress wave.
A almost playful grin tugged on Erza's lips,
"finally" she announced at the oncoming wave, "you do something a little beyond novice"
back at Alfea to of the staff were in a deep conversation about a new dorm, Griffin and Faragonda were seated in her office running over blue prints for the new building.
When suddenly Griffin suddenly leaped to her feet in surprise,
"did you hear that!' she gasped, and the headmistress who had also risen to her feet nodded in sudden deep though,
"yes I did" she pondered "is it just me or do it sounded like Bloom and Stella screaming"
Omg…I'm such a bitch!
I REGRET NOTHING!
(except agree to the bet that is it?)

in accordance's to Lexvan fic "when guardians meet fairys'
