OK so I know this is ridiculously long, but honestly, I couldn't find a way to break it up into smaller chapters without them becoming really dull, so I made it into one. I just want to say thank you so much for all the support I've received so far. It's so good to know how much you guys seem to love my ideas :) It's also what's actually kept me writing pretty much non-stop (Seriously I was up till 4:30 am writing this last one ;D) Hope you enjoy and leave reviews :)
The 'Blood' Dragon Slayer
"Biagon…" The dragon smiled at her.
"Sienna," he said softly, as much as dragon can.
"But…what…how…did?" she had no idea what to say.
"Sienna, let me explain," he said. She looked a little more relaxed. "There was a reason you've been possessed by Scor," he explained.
"So you did put that thing inside of me!" she yelled. "Do you know how much I've suffered because of that monster? He's taken over my life for the last 7 years…he's…he's…HE'S THE REASON I'M CALLED THE 'BLOOD' DRAGON SLAYER!" she yelled.
"Sienna, I apologize. It was never my intention. I wanted you to grow strong enough to be able to control this power, so I shrouded it along with Scor, so in order to gain your power, you'd have to defeat him…" Sienna looked at him stunned.
"It's taken me 7 freakin' years to do that! Do I really mean that little to you?"
"No," he responded. "There is a reason it's only now you've able to defeat him, and you know that answer," Sienna looked at him baffeled. "Think. What is it that is different from the other times you've done battle with him," At first, Sienna didn't understand. Then it clicked.
"That's it…Natsu, Lucy, everyone in Fairy Tail…A family…friends…belonging. He first appeared when everyone turned their backs on me…I see now…"
"I take it you remembered,"
"Yeah…You…wanted me to be happy…to feel like I had a family once again," she said as a tear rolled down her cheek. Biagon nodded.
"Now this power is yours. You'll need it,"
"What?"
"Scor is not easily defeated. All you've managed to do so far is release him from your body. You'll need this power in order to defeat him," Biagon explained. He then turned around and started to walk away. "Good luck, Sienna…" She stood frozen for a second before she spoke.
"Biagon, wait! There's so much I need to ask you, please wait!" He continued to walk away.
"Trust in yourself, just I do and all of your friends do as well,"
"BIAGON!"
Sienna opened her eyes, and saw Natsu right in her face.
"Natsu…" She suddenly realised that Gray, Lucy, Erza and Gildarts were also staring at her. She stood up.
"Sienna, are you okay? What happened?" he asked. She paused before answering.
"I-" she began to say, but she suddenly jerked her head up and a mass of light poured out of her. She started screaming.
"What's going on?" Gray questioned frantically.
"I, I don't know," Erza said. Suddenly something started to separate out from her chest. There was something coming out of her, and it began screaming too. The thing got further and further away from her until eventually they both of them were sent flying through the walls of Gildarts' house, in opposite directions. Natsu, Gray, Erza and Lucy went straight after Sienna through the hole in the wall. They rushed over to her; she was lying on her back.
"Hey are you okay?" Lucy asked as she helped her onto her feet.
"Yeah but that's not the issue right now," she said her eyes intense. Gildarts didn't join the others. He instead stayed inside his house and looked at what had come out of her. While the others went to Sienna, he observed what was lying on the ground opposite. It got up on its feet. Gildarts looked shocked.
"What?" he exclaimed. It looked how Sienna looked when she transformed except they had now uto them it was Scor. It flew up over the house.
"I'm gonna kill you!" he cried as he went for Sienna. She ran away from the others to protect them and screamed.
"WATER DRAGON WING ATTACK!" It had no effect and he still aimed for her, she was sent flying.
"Sienna!" Natsu yelled. She managed to get herself off the floor. Gildarts managed to make his way over to the others.
"You may of ridded me of that body, that only means I can use all my strength to kill you! There's no way that same strength can kill me!" Scor cried and he cackled again. Sienna interrupted his laughing fit.
"No, I don't, however…." He looked on confused. "I don't have the same strength!"
"What the hell are you babbling about, human?" he yelled.
"Dark Dragon Slayer Art…." Everyone looked at her with amazement. "SUPREME DRAGON FORCE!" A huge gust of wind surrounded her, and a magic circle appeared above her head. None of them could see what was going on. Eventually, the dust settled and they could see what Sienna was. She was just like Scor, scales, claws, wings, tail, but there was one fundamental difference: her eyes. They were their normal colour with an iris and white areas, whereas Scor's were a mass of red fire.
"Supreme Dragon Force?" Lucy enquired.
"I've never even heard of such of thing," Erza commented.
"Neither have I," Gildarts added.
"But you've got to agree, that is really something!" Gray put in. Natsu didn't say anything, too much in awe to speak.
"What? How the hell did you get a hand on that power?" Scor asked. Sienna didn't say anything but glared at him with mean eyes. "Fine have it your way!" he yelled. They both outstretched their wings and took to the skies to fight.
Back at the guild, it was business as usual, bustling and plenty of chatter.
"Master, doesn't it seem odd to you how long those guys have been gone?" Mira asked as she walked up to the bar counter where he was sitting.
"What do you mean?" he questioned.
"It's just that, Gildarts and Sara left quite some time ago, and then Natsu, Gray, Erza and Lucy went after the two of them not long after. It just seems odd that they would be gone for this long that's all," she explained.
"Don't worry yourself. I can assure you, whatever they're doing, it'll all fine," he said. He took a sip of his drink before there was a loud crash. The door had been opened suddenly, with Erza standing in the doorway.
"Everyone, get out of here now!" she yelled. There were some confused murmurs around the hall.
"Erza! Just what are you doing?" the master called. Lucy then called as her Natsu and Gray came running up behind her.
"Erza! They're here!" As she said it there was a loud crash from the ceiling. Two people fell down, one grabbing the other by the throat. The master's eyes widened with shock as he figured out who it was.
"Sienna?...Wait there are two of her, and she's been taken…hang on there's one with those red eyes, and another…with her normal eyes…what in the….," the master thought to himself.
As they both crashed to the floor, it was apparent that the one with red eyes was holding the throat of the one with normal eyes.
"What the hell? What's going on here?" Gajeel yelled. The two of them got up quickly and began to eye each other up. There was a pause. Everyone looked at the two Sienna's in amazement.
"So who should I start with first? Who should I tear to shreds to begin with?" Scor cackled.
"Shut up! The only one dying here today is you!" she replied with a mean look in her eyes.
"Gajeel. To answer your question, that's Sienna and her inner demon, Scor. She's been able to kick him out of her body, and doing so has given her an amazing dragon slayer power, but…now she has to fight him. Or so Gildarts has gathered," Natsu explained.
"Inner demon? So then, this…" Wendy began saying but Sienna beat her to it.
"Yes. This is the one who took over my body, and killed the people I loved. This is Scor…" she answered.
"Shut up!" he screamed as he launched at her. She was sent back.
"MOVE!" Erza screamed. The guild members suddenly began to stumble out in a panic whilst Scor and Sienna continued to fight. As everyone rushed out, Natsu, Wendy and Gajeel, plus their exceeds, stayed.
"What are you doing? Run!" Sienna barked. By turning her head, she let Scor land a blow on her and she was sent through a pillar. She flew straight back at him.
"No way! We're dragon slayers too, we can take this guy down as a team," Wendy said.
"I may not like the idea, but I guess I can help stop this creature!" Gajeel sneered.
"Are you family or not?" Natsu growled. She turned her head and saw the determination in their eyes. She then heard a cackle. She turned her head back. As she was falling to the ground, Scor performed a roar. There was no time to react…Suddenly an iron bar blocked the roar from reaching her. She turned her head and saw Gajeel had blocked it, but he was having difficulty keeping up with the force of it. She smiled and then landed on the ground, steadying herself.
"ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" Scor turned his head in annoyance. He simply blocked it with one arm. Natsu looked shocked.
"It had…no effect?" Happy questioned.
"Don't insult me…HUMAN!" he roared and he tried to carve Natsu up. He then saw Natsu turn into a bit of a blur and then disappeared. He looked surprised, and landed on the floor.
"And don't insult us either, demon!" Scor turned his head and saw Sienna was floating on the other side of the guild hall, her feet wrapped around Natsu's shoulders and armpits. She then flew down and put him on the ground. "If you want me, come get me!" she yelled and she flew quickly out of the guild's entrance. Scor followed n pursuit.
"Let's go!" Gajeel yelled. Their exceeds then picked up the dragon slayers, Happy for Natsu, Lily for Gajeel, and Carla for Wendy. They then flew out the same way the others had and into the sky, following the two of them. Scor and Sienna had already flown quite a fair distance away.
"How far is she going to fly before stopping?" Natsu asked.
"I think she's trying to get as far away from the town as possible. This could get turn out really bad if there are other people mixed up in this," Wendy said.
"I guess so. Come one, let's catch up to them!" Natsu replied.
"Aye, sir!" Happy said and pushed harder. About 200 metres in front of them Scor was still in hot pursuit.
"You can't run forever!" Scor bellowed.
"Good thing I wasn't planning on it!" Sienna barked back as she turned her head a little to look at him. He then flew faster and managed to bite down on her tail. She screamed in agony. He eventually let go and she went soaring towards the ground. She did several rolls when she hit the grassy ground, my managed to crouch down and put her limbs down to try and slow her down. She panted a little. They had ended up on the grassy hills on the outskirts of Magnolia. Sienna had landed on one hill, and Scor landed down on one opposite, as she stood up. She swept her tail round to look at it. There were definitely teeth marks in it and it hurt pretty badly. But she knew that she had to just deal with it. She then stopped looking at it and faced Scor.
"Just because we're not close to any of stupid friends, doesn't mean I won't kill them when I'm done with you!" Scor yelled.
"You say that, but so far, you haven't even defeated me!" she answered.
"Shut the hell up! I don't care how strong you are, a single human who thinks they posses the power of a dragon, cannot kill me!...I AM UNBEATABLE!" He laughed his hysterical laugh.
"Is that so?" a voice came from where Sienna was standing. Scor looked back at her. "Then about 4, do you think you could manage that?" Natsu said. The four dragon slayers were standing together, their eyes hard and fierce.
"Answer me one question Scor. Just why the hell do you want to do this? What's the point in killing so many, spilling so much blood?" Sienna asked.
"Why you ask?" He began to chuckle a little, but then he regained his hysterical laughter. "Because it's fun! There's nothing more amazing than watching the blood burst out of your pathetic bodies!"
"Now you're just sick!" Gajeel commented.
"Someone like you doesn't deserve to even exist, let alone torture Sienna for so long! We're gonna wipe the floor with ya!" Natsu added.
"And don't you forget it! We're not some humans who think we posse the power of dragons, we are…" Wendy remarked.
"Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayers!" they all said in unison. He paused for a bit and then smirked.
"How worthless you all are! You should just….DIE!" he yelled. As he sent a water jet gushing towards them. He missed. They all went into the air, Sienna with her Supreme Dragon Force and the others by their exceed.
"O swift wind that dashes through the heavens! Vernier!" Wendy called out. A magic circle appeared below the three of them.
"What the hell is this?" Sienna asked frantically.
"Don't worry, it's just Wendy's Sky Dragon Slayer magic. It makes us way stronger!" Natsu explained. His fists burst into flames and he launched himself at Scor.
"TALONS OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" Scor just dodged his attack.
"IRON DRAGON SWORD!" It hit Scor's ribs but it didn't seemed too phased and just moved away.
"ROAR OF THE SKY DRAGON!" It caught his arm, and threw him to the side a bit.
"WATER DRAGON WING ATTACK!" After the bombardment he had already been subjected to, he couldn't deflect Sienna's attack. It hit him in the chest and sent him flying. He managed to get himself off the ground, but he was sent down again but Gajeel's iron bar. He roared after recovering himself. Natsu then tried to hit him with a simple fiery punch, but then he launched an attack.
"WATER DRAGON CRAWLING JET!" he yelled. A beam of water came rushing out of his hand. Happy tried to pull him away, but Happy wasn't very fast. However, at the last second, he was saved by Sienna. She wrapped her dragon feet around his shoulders and flapped her wings sending them upwards. Scor growled and then flew up high to try and grab them. Halfway towards them though he was attacked by a massive sword. He had to use both his arms to defend himself. It was Lily in his larger form, with his giant sword. Scor struggled against it, but managed to push it away.
"IRON DRAGON LANCE: DEMON LOGS!" A barrage of steel spears attacked him, putting a hole into one of his wings. He went crashing into the top of a hill. He managed to get himself off the ground and standing on his feet, all be it a bit limp. The others were on the other hill, panting. It took a lot of effort to perform such a range of attacks. Even Wendy was worn out from having to keep up her Vernier for so long.
"Guys…let's show him how Fairy Tail wizards like to do it! By going all out!" Natsu said.
"I hear ya!" Sienna replied. They all then stood in an even line, taking up a stance.
"ROAR OF THE…" the all called. Scor then looked shocked, knowing what was about to happen.
"FIRE DRAGON!"
"IRON DRAGON!"
"WATER DRAGON!"
"SKY DRAGON!" All 4 roars struck him at once. He screamed out in agony and disappeared from view. The power of the four dragon roars had made an impact of the land. It was badly torn up; it looked like a bomb had hit it rather than the work of four dragon slayers. They were all now really tired. Wendy went on to one knee.
"Wendy…you…okay?" Natsu panted.
"Yeah…I think so," she managed to say back.
"So what now…is he dead?" Gajeel questioned. Sienna stayed silent, but her supreme dragon force began to recede. The scales disappeared and her hands and feet started to return to normal. Her tail and her wings began to almost sink back into her body. When she was normal again, her clothes were a little torn from when they had taken on new limbs. Just then they heard something amongst the dust.
"No…No…NO! I WON'T BE DEFEATED BY A BUNCH OF HUMANS!" he screamed. The burning red eyes lit up inside the cloud of dust. Suddenly, he launched out of it, at a super fast speed, right at Sienna. No time to react. He hit her. He had pierced her so that his hand went straight through her stomach. Everyone looked round in horror.
"SIENNA!" Natsu yelled. Scor smiled, and then pulled his hand out of her stomach. It was only a few centimetres away from her body when her hand reached out and grabbed it. He looked shocked. Suddenly, she ploughed her own hand into him. Blood was now pouring out of both of their stomachs. She pulled her hand out.
"If I'm…gonna die…then you're coming with me…." Sienna said. She lifted her head and blood was pouring out of her mouth. "..you bastard," She let go of his hand and fell backwards. The dragon slayers could only watch in pure shock. She fell backwards and began tumbling down the hill. Scor did the same on the opposite side of the hill. They suddenly snapped out of it. Gajeel went chasing after Sienna, eventually managing to catch her in his arms. Scor managed to get off the floor and then rocked his head back. He started cackling.
"I won't lose…I can't lose…" he said. He had completely lost it. Natsu then punched him with fiery fists.
"YOU BASTARD!" he screeched. He punched him again. Scor was too beaten up to be able to counterattack. "HOW DARE YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!" he screamed again. He continued to punch him, even though he was on the edge of death. He screamed before letting out one final punch. Scor then stumbled backwards. He lifted his head up, and suddenly black flames surrounded his limbs. As they retreated, his limbs disappeared. His body was almost completely gone, as it headed up towards his face. The eyes, the eyes that were like a burning fire, started to fade, and left Sienna's real eyes as the black flames consumed them and disappeared into nothing. Natsu stared at the spot where he was, all that remained was a pile of ashes. A gust of wind rolled past, and the ashes were scattered off into the breeze. Natsu then suddenly started to run up the hill. When he reached the top he saw at the bottom, Gajeel holding up Sienna's shoulders with one arm, while her body lay on the ground. Wendy was kneeling next to her on the other side of her body than Gajeel, her hands outstretched over her stomach, though Wendy looked like she was suffering a bit herself. Sienna's eyes were closed and blood was still around her mouth. Natsu's eyes widened with shock. He half ran, half skidded down the hill to try and get to them.
"Oi! Gajeel!" he called out as he ran along the straight ground to where they were. Gajeel didn't look up. "Hey!" There was a short pause before Carla spoke.
"So?" she asked Wendy.
"I…I honestly don't know. Right now…she could go either way…" she answered. Gajeel's teeth clenched together.
"Sienna…" Happy murmured as tears fell from his eyes. Natsu clenched his fists.
"No…there's no two ways about it! Sienna…will live!" Natsu said calmly but angrily. "I won't let her die. Never!"
"You idiot!" Gajeel yelled.
"Don't make this harder than it already is, Natsu," Wendy added. Tears began to well in her eyes. A few moments passed before Gajeel spoke again.
"There's nothing more we can do," he said.
"Is that it, huh? Are you too just gonna give up on her?" Natsu raised his tone. He marched over and went to kneel above Sienna's head, with Gajeel holding her up a bit on his left and Wendy on his right. Sienna's face was looking at him upside down. "Now you listen, alright Sienna? You've come too damn far to let it all go now! Everything that you've gone through, everything you fought for, mean nothing if die on us right here and now!" Gajeel and Wendy's facial expressions didn't change much; just solemnly looking at Sienna's face. "From the first moment he took over your body 3 years ago, you've been in a pit of sorrow. He killed your entire village, he made you homeless, he made you a thief just so you could survive, he made you turn on all of us, and he made you fight him to the limit. He gave you the reputation of the 'Blood' Dragon Slayer…And every step of the way, you fought against him. You chose to come to Fairy Tail to finally find some work, but you kept us all at a distance so you could protect us. You even wanted to kill yourself when you thought you would turn against us again. But he's gone now! He's dead and he's never coming back! You challenged the inner demon that has been haunting you for so long. You pushed him out of you, and gained a new power so you could defeat him, so you could….have a family again. So please…DON'T DIE NOW!" he yelled. Wendy and Gajeel looked shocked. "You've got what you deserved for so long, the chance to be with your family both with Rufus and Sho and with Fairy Tail! Sienna….please…" He began to sob. Tears began to flow and dripped down onto Sienna's cheeks.
Sienna was floating in total darkness. She couldn't see, hear or smell; she was alone with the sound of her thoughts.
"Is this it? Am I really going to die? I see….I'm sorry everyone. I'm sorry my death with cause you so much pain. Rufus and Sho. Take good care of each other. Biagon. I hope you're well, wherever you are. Everyone in Fairy Tail, don't cry. You'll only just hurt yourselves. Wendy, you have amazing potential. Keep pushing yourself and I reckon you could be one tough dragon slayer! Gajeel, don't shut people out. I did and look where that got me, nowhere. I think if you opened up a bit more, people would forget your past and begin to trust you. I know that from first hand experience. Natsu, oh Natsu. Thank you. You where always so kind me, with no given explanation. You made me feel like I had a family once more. Please don't change one bit…well not getting into so many fights might not be a bad thing!...Hm…I'll miss you, everyone…." Just then the sound of a drop of water echoed in the silence. "Huh?" She lifted her hand to her face and felt it. It was a teardrop. "Tears…who's crying…?" She suddenly saw a light that grew bigger and consumed her world.
Sienna slowly opened her eyes. She looked up and saw Natsu right above her. Gajeel was to the left of her and she could just make out the top of Wendy's head. She saw Natsu had tears in his eyes, but he also looked shocked.
"Nat…su…" she was barely able to say. His face then lit up. A huge smile appeared across him. Gajeel smiled a warm smile. Wendy leant into her view and also smiled.
"Sienna!" he called and then landed right on top of her face. "Oh Sienna I knew you'd pull through!" Sienna's yells were muffled by Natsu's face.
"Idiot! You're gonna suffocate her!" Gajeel yelled.
"Natsu! I think you really need to get off her!" Wendy added. Natsu then got up off her face. He was still smiling at her. She punched him right in the face.
"OW! What was that for?"
"I don't know. How about the part where you nearly smothered me to death with your soppiness!" she barked. She winced in pain after yelling. He stomach was seriously painful.
"You should really take it easy. I'm not done healing yet," Wendy said.
"Okay..." she said as she closed her eyes. Suddenly though, she snapped them open and pushed herself into a sitting position. Her stomach was incredibly painful.
"Sienna!" Wendy exclaimed.
"What are you doing? You're gonna reopen that wound!" Gajeel stated, taking his hands away from her.
"Where…is…he…?" she enquired wincing through the pain.
"If you mean Scor…he's dead!" Natsu said. Sienna looked shocked. She turned her head to look at him.
"What…do you mean…dead…?"
"Well, dead. Not living. Kapoof!" he explained.
"I…see…" she replied. She then groaned in pain.
"Sienna, you really need to lie down!" Wendy said. Sienna did so obediently. She was in too much pain. She lay back down on the grassy field. She noticed how blue the sky was, and how the birds flew in the breeze effortlessly.
"So, Scor's really dead, huh?" she asked.
"Well, I think so. I think turning to ashes is a pretty sure fire way of telling if someone's dead or not," Natsu answered sarcastically.
"I see…" she said. Tears began to roll down her cheeks. "Guys…I just want to say…thank you,"
"What are you talking about?" Natsu replied.
"Yeah there's nothing you should really thank us for," Gajeel added.
"No I mean it," she said. Their faces turned more serious. "Thank you, for everything you've done," They all smiled back. She looked up at the sky again.
"Scor…good riddance! Biagon…thank you. Thank you for believing in me. But I don't think even you, could predict how amazing my new friends and family are…"
A little while later, Wendy had done some more work on her stomach, but Sienna still needed to get to a hospital. Plus, Wendy was almost out of magical power. Gajeel carried her in his arms as the four of them and the exceeds went back to the Fairy Tail wizards. They were all in the park, waiting anxiously. They had no idea what had gone on. Gildarts had also joined up with the rest of them.
"Man, where are those guys?" Gray asked impatiently.
"Calm down Gray, you'll only get yourself in a state if you think like that," Lucy answered.
"I know, but it just sucks that those dragon slayers get in on everything, while we stay here and do nothing!" he replied.
"What do you think it is some kind of party?" Lucy yelled. The master let out a sigh.
"Don't worry Master, I'm sure they're all fine," Mira said, noticing his anxiety.
"I know, but I just can't help but worry," he replied.
"Hey! Look over there!" a guild member called. Everyone looked towards one of the streets and sure enough, the dragon slayers were back, even though they all had scars all over them, and Sienna was barely in one piece. The guild members were silent as they walked up to the park.
"So?" the master asked as he walked towards the front. There was a pause. Natsu then smiled.
"Looks like Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayers are still unbeaten!" he said. The guild members then all cheered.
"Bottom's up!" the master called. Beer classes then clunked together.
"Where the hell did all the alcohol come from?" Lucy exclaimed. Sienna blushed and sunk into Gajeel's arms a bit more.
"What is it with you guys and trying to embarrass me? It's like a contest or something," Sienna moaned.
"Hey Natsu! I know what would be fun!" Happy said.
"Don't even think about it unless you want to live," she answered sternly.
"Anyways, I think I should be taking you to the hospital," Gajeel said. Sienna nodded. He was about to leave when a piece of paper floated past them. It landed in front of Lucy.
"It's a request," she said.
"Must have floated out of the guild when it got trashed," Wendy added. Lucy began to read it, and then her eyes were full of shock. "Natsu….I think you guys should come look at this!" she said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Natsu asked concerning.
"The request…the person who requested it was….Shin Hirako!" All the dragon slayers eyes suddenly shot open with horror.
"Shin…Hirako…?" Natsu said.
