Chapter 3: New Slayers
Timeskip(4 years later)
Walking through what appears to be a desert(without sand swarming around), a team made up of Katuro(Age 16) Setasuke(Age 12), Merena(Age 12), and Limmjow(Age 12) is consisted while the latter is carrying an ostrich via a rope by it's beak.
"No matter how I look at that expression, I get the feeling it's gonna eat me alive." Limmjow murmurs, hating this job.
"No way, don't you think he's adorable?" Merena asks, turning back, "Anyway, you're the one that lost at rock-paper-scissors, so you're designated ostrich-sitter."
"You tow make an unexpectedly well-matched couple." Katuro teases as they keep walking.
The ostrich pecks constantly on Limmjows head, annoying the latter greatly, "Well-watched my ass! Quit it!"
"This job is really a waste of time if we're being real here." Setasuke speaks, hands in pockets, "The scale of things may be increasing but these jobs really don't improve on skills, like why ask me for this?"
"They're not for improving skills." Katuro said, "It's different from your usual training, ya know." He adds, getting narrow-glared eyes from the Ice slayer in annoyance.
"In that case, you can increase your skill by using this ostrich as your opponent." Limmjow holds out the rope in giving it to him, but gets no luck as Setasuke refuses that and gives it right back.
"What are you trying to pull?" He rebukes.
"Just improve your skill!" The fire slayer exclaims dramatically.
"Says the guy who keep losing to me!" The ice slayer exclaims dramatically too, which angers his rival.
As they argue the ostrich pecks them both on the head constantly, which earns sighs from Katuro and Merena as they approach what seems to be a deserted town. While walking in, "Geez..." Merena looks back at Limmjow/Setasuke(who both have multiple bumps on their heads form the ostrich's beak, "If it had just been us, we could've been back to the guild hall by evening."
They glance ahead to see a huge crowd gathered in the center of the town. After Setasuke ties the ostrich to a pole, they curiously dash to where the crowd is and squash their way threw some people to see what the ruckus is about.
"What's going on here?" Katuro wonders as they see 2 kids(looking to be the same age as Setasuke, Limmjow, and Merena) against 1 adult with a sword.
"You brats are gonna pay for what you've done to my friend!" The man(Tsukado) said, with his sword ready.
"Your friend? That's the guy we roughed up real bad, right Rin?" The boy asks.
"Maybe..." She half answers with a straight-face, "Anyway, let's get this over with Ronin. Tired of standing around in the open like this."
"Don't worry, we will sis." Ronin assures, "I don't intend on standing around either." His expression changes to a glaring one.
"Who are those kids? They look to be about out age..." Merena said.
"This seems like a vengeance match to me." Setasuke figures.
"Doesn't that mean to settle your grudge against someone?" Merena asks in wonder.
"It does..." Limmjow confirms, giving a small glare to Setasuke before looking back to the stare-off.
"But they're kids... is it really okay to do this in broad daylight?" Merena wonders.
"As if I know that, unless this vendetta this guy has is really that important." Katuro shrugs.
"..." Setasuke glances at Rin, "I smell something off about that girl..."
"..." Limmjow gets the same feeling with Ronin, "That guy..."
"Don't think because your kids that mean I'll go easy on ya!" Tsukado attacks first with his sword coated with magic power.
Rin and Ronin are unfazed as he rushes directly at them, the latter takes a step forward and coats his fist in lightning, "Lightning Devil's: Breakdown!" He goes to blitz and delivering a punch to Tsukado's gut, making the man grunt in pain as he's also electrified by that blow. This surprises the audience, including Setasuke's team.
"Would you do the honors, sis?" Ronin asks.
"Already planned to, bro." She replies, coating her fist in silver, "Silver Dragon's: Heavenly fist!" She punches Tsukado so hard to double the damage.
"Gah!" He grunts in pain, sent flying to the ground, but this time, he's down for the count.
"Two blows..." One of the murmurs.
"Those kids are strong" Another murmurs.
"That guy went down easily..." One more murmurs.
The ones who are surprised by this are Setasuke and Limmjow. Their senses were on point because they see that there are two more slayers of the same element in front of them.
"Did you guys just see that...!" Merena exclaims, taken back.
"Yeah... they're slayers just like us." Katuro confirms, "Judging from the way they addressed each other, they must be siblings."
"How about that, we took down another one." Ronin said to Rin in celebration, "Let's to an inn somewhere and settle down, eh Rin?"
"Sure." She shrugs, not minding that at all before they walk, leading to the crowd letting them through.
"Katuro-san... we should keep some tabs on them for the time being and follow them." Merena suggests, "It just looks like they're carefree and starting trouble cause they don't have anywhere to go..."
"My thoughts exactly Merena." Katuro agrees, "After we deliver the ostrich to our client, we'll resume back to them."
"Good idea." Limmjow goes with it, curious about Ronin while Setasuke's curious about Rin.
6pm(Inn):
Ronin and Rin approach the door and come inside, getting the attention of all the drinkers inside.
"Oh wait, those are the kids from earlier." One of the recognizes.
"They're shorter than I expected, I'm not gonna lie." The others says and laughs a little.
The two slayers walk there way through everyone without a slight hint of worry, especially Rin as she listens to some music on her small radio via headphones.
When they get to the counter, Ronin orders two Cocoa's and begins drinking his, "Ah!" He finishes sipping a good chunk of it, "Ya know, Rin. I wonder what's next after we leave this part of town." He said, but his sister isn't listening at the moment due to having headphones on her, "Rin!" He shakes her shoulder, getting her attention finally.
"What is it?" She asks, setting her device down.
"Sometimes repeating myself can be a hassle... but oh well." Ronin repeats anyway, "Your coca's here and what do you think we should do after leaving this town?"
"..." This takes her by surprise at this question, "I don't know... but then again, I've been thinking about that topic as well." She then adds, "It'd be great to settle down somewhere and be part of something... since all we do is go from one city to another, without anywhere to return to."
Ronin's taken back by her answer, but replies, "Yeah... you got a point." He said looking at his coca, "I also want to join something new and have some friends." He smiles a little sadly, "It's be more fun that way."
"... It would." Rin agrees, both of them tired of this lifestyle.
After finishing there coca's , the two head out of the inn bar, but by the time they get out. A group of 7 thugs surround them from all sides, which confuses them right away.
"Sorry, but you kids ain't going nowhere." The leader smirks evilly.
"And why is that?" Ronin asks, getting into a fighting stance since these guys appear to be enemies.
"You guys are up for ransom and we're not missing out on this opportunity." The leader speaks as the rest of the thugs close in on them.
"The way they're grinning just means they're pedophiles if anything." Ronin said, "We're ending this now." He said and his sister totally agrees.
Before some for of attack could unfold, Katuro, Setasuke, Limmjow, and Merena show up to the commotion, getting their attentions, "Let's all calm down before things get a little chaotic." Katuro said, "It'd be bad to have to bust you thugs to the ground in an embarrassing way."
"What'd you say, punk!" One thug exclaims.
"Like this is your business now take a hike!" The leader exclaims in demand.
"We warned you." Merena shrugs, which is when Setasuke and Limmjow step up to them.
"Sit back and watch. I won't be needing your help." The ice slayer says.
"Screw you." The fire slayer argues, "You're the one in the way."
"If you kids also want a beating then be my guest. Guys get them!" The thug leader exclaims for them to attack, ignoring Ronin and Rom completely at this point.
As the see the crowd of thugs dashing their way, Setasuke rears his head back and attacks, "Ice Dragon's: Roar!" He wastes no time, blowing out shards of ice that freezes and cuts 3 thugs, making them shout in pain. Limmjow also goes next with his head reared back, "Fire Devil's Rage!" He attacks with dark-purple flames that burns the next 3 thugs to to a small crisp, back then drop immediately to the ground in slow pain.
"Seriously?! That guy's a... Devil slayer too?!" Ronin is taken back, like really taken back.
"Same..." Rin gazed at Setasuke in surprise, "He's a Dragon Slayer like me."
"Great job you guys." Katuro said, "Now just the leader and we're good here." Him and Merena face him next.
"Y-You brats...!" The leader steps back and proceeds to make a run for it, however.
"Crystal Phoenix: Pillar!" She forms a magic circle that encases the thug leader in a pillar of Crystal, trapping him from underneath.
Things aren't over yet as Katuro steps up while charging his attack, "And for the finishing touch." He gathers magic power in his right hand, "Spirit God's: Ghost Bomb!" He throws a bomb of stray souls, which hits the thug leader and causes the attack to explode upon impact, knocking him out after the smoke clears.
"Amazing...!" Ronin and Rin are astonished by this, equally.
"If you guys got nowhere to go, then how about coming with us?" Katuro offers, "We saw what you did a few hours ago to that guy in the middle of the crowd. You're both slayers like us."
"You're right about that... I mean..." Ronin gazes to Limmjow, who does the same, "That guy's a Devil slayer... and that's amazing! You even use fire at that!" He suddenly turns enthusiastic, taking them off guard.
"Huh? I know you use Lightning and all, but quit getting so close." Limmjow shrugs him off, "Not a fan of that."
"Oops, my bad!" Ronin steps back a little, grinning cheekily.
"This is my first time... meeting a fellow Dragon slayer." Rin said, to Setasuke.
"Likewise..." The ice slayer nods, hands in pocket, "This is my chance to ask a certain question that only a dragon slayer could answer."
"What type of question?" She asks with a narrowed brow.
"The Ice Dragon King, Icigoneal, disappeared on July 7th of X777 and I've been searching for him ever since." Setasuke then asks, "Have you seen or heard of him?"
"..." Rin gets the question and replies, "No. I haven't." She answer, before explaining, "I've actually never seen or heard of a real dragon before until now."
"Yet, you're a dragon slayer..." Setasuke trails.
"That's because I got this power by eating a Lacrima a couple years back." Rin reveals, surprise the latter a little.
"..." Setasuke glances, now recalling what Raburn explained before, "Come to think of it... Master did say that there different types of dragon slayers from each generation. And that I was a first generation dragon slayer due to being trained by one, while those from the Second eat Lacrima's to gain their power." He adds, "This might be my first dragon slayer I've met, but she isn't of the same generation." He casts those thoughts aside from now and replies to her, "Well, it was worth a shot, and that explains a lot."
"Sorry I couldn't be of much help." She apologizes.
"No apology needed." He turns his back, "I don't consider this being over. I'll find him one of these days." He guarantees it.
Katuro and Merena finish up tying the unconscious thugs down, and walk back over to the four, with the Spirit slayer stating with a hand clap, "That settles it. Shall we head back home to the guild now?"
"A guild?" Ronin asks, "That must explain the marks that each of you have." He adds, noticing the Cloud guild marks they have.
"Yeah, we're from the mage guild called Arkobolos." Merena exclaims, smiling with hands behind her back. She adds that it's a guild that's comprised of only slayers, which totally takes the siblings by surprise.
"Say what?!" Rin exclaims, widely.
"A slayers only guild?! That's something we could fit in for sure!" Ronin exclaims excitedly to his sister.
"I agree." She smiles a little for the first time, before explaining to the guild members, "All this time we had nothing to fit into and only ran around from town to town." She adds, "It's be great to be part of something and actually have friends."
"What she said, a hundred percent." Ronin nods.
"And you're more than welcome to be part of the family." Katuro smiles, "You two won't wonder around aimlessly anymore." He offers a hand, which Ronin happily accepts.
"By the way, I'm Ronin Ferrer." He introduces, "Nice to meet you all."
"I'm Rin Ferrer, his twin sister." She bows politely.
"Twin siblings? Nice!" Katuro claps one time.
"I'm Merena Hano, Hi." She smiles/waves.
"Limmjow Jagars. Sup." He said, hands behind his head.
"Setasuke Ryuto." He introduces, hands in pockets.
"And yours truly, Katuro Saiba." He introduces last, pointing at himself, "Welcome board, twin slayers." He nicknames.
"Thanks!" Ronin grins happily, while his sister smiles. Both finally about to fit into something they wanted for awhile.
Transition/Elsewhere:
In another area that's a desert town at 12pm, Clesspin(Age 12), Illyana(Age 11), Yomei(Age 10), and Jetoal(Age 10) walk around in the center, but see a bunch of people looking at them while sitting on outside tables.
Illyana looks around and murmurs, "What's with these guys? Staring at us like this is rude and weird."
"Like they don't have somewhere to be, am I right?" FClesspin adds.
"I'm not getting any easy vibes here either... but just keep walking." Yomei advises.
As they keep walking and ignoring the stares all around, "So do you guys think this 'Gosunkugi' is around here?" Jetoal asks.
"Only one way to find out is by asking the locals." Clesspin said, before the four make their way toward a tavern.
"How's it goin!" Clesspin bursts after pushing the door open, enthusiastically, but the place is dark and filled with a bunch of thug-like individuals in the inside and meet him with glares all around. Not bothered, the four small skaters walk over to the counter.
"Can I help you?" The bar owner asks.
"Nah, we're not customers, we just got a question." Clesspin replies.
"Is that so? If you kids ain't buying nothing, than beat it!" The man replies, not caring about what they got to ask.
"Oh don't be stingy, just answer the question and we'll be out of your hair." Jetoal backs up.
"It's fine, so it's gonna be that way, huh? One ramen then." The light slayer orders.
"Hook me up with a grilled juicy steak." Jetoal orders.
"A cup of Kool-Aid is all I need." Yomei simply adds.
As the bar owner glares in hesitation, "Ha! A grilled juicy steak? You've got to be kidding me?!" Someone says in mocking them from a table.
"And the ramen and kool aid, can't forget about that." The second one laughs, followed by the rest.
"I don't care for smart elegant brats, so get out!" The bar owner demands.
"Why? We got the money to pay for it." Clesspin shows it, via money in a bag.
"It ain't about the money..." The bar owner rebukes.
Just then, a big guy comes over and grabs Clesspin's arm with the money, "Hey now... that's a big bag of coins ya got there. I'll do you a favor and hang on to them." The big man laughs, "I mean, you wouldn't want one of these ruffians getting their claws on them."
"No thanks." Clesspin replies, knowing that this guy's trying to start something but plays along with it, eying up at him, "Besides, some low-rate thugs know better that it's useless stealing from me." He smiles in a taunt.
"Say what?!" The big man feel's insulted, "You saying that to me?!"
"Well yeah? Who else would I be saying it to." Clesspin tilts his head, "Plus, I think it's time you gave me some space. Your breathe stinks."
"Huh?!" The big man questions again, but then he's suddenly kicked in the face by Clesspin. Sending the guy crashing into a large table, breaking it and breaking a few glasses.
"Much better." The light slayer stresses his arms out after putting his bagged coins in his pocket.
"You little brat, wanna fight?!" The big man gets angry and takes out his knife.
"Sure, I'm up for it, old geezer." Clesspin shrugs, getting into non-serious fight position.
"Why you...!" The guy growls.
"Leave it to Clesspin to start a good brawl." Jetoal said.
"No time for that, look around us." Illyana mutters, seeing everyone get up with their knives in hand.
"We're gonna end up surround." Yomei mutters.
"You punks are outnumbered... give it up!" The big man demands.
"Oh boy, this isn't good... is what I'd like to say." Clesspin grins without a problem at the odds, "Bring it on chumps!" He wants all the smoke.
Just as things were about to go down in a tense way, a tall dark-skinned boy(Age 13) stands up and tells the owner, "One small bottle of Kool-Aid, if you please."
"Who the hell are you?" The fat guy asks, but is ignored.
"R-Right, Geras!" The bar owner stutters and hands him a small bottle of Kool-Aid from under the counter, "Enjoy."
"Much obliged." Geras replies, before handing it to Yomei, "Here you go."
"Uh... thanks..." Yomei mutters in surprise, taking it.
"No thanks needed, it's courtesy of Mr. Qubo over there." Geras glances back to the big guy in name reveal.
"Real funny punk, and why would I buy some Kool-Aid for a pipsqueak!" Qubo charges at Geras with his knife, "You got a death wish!" Before he could strike, Geras coats his right in what looks to be sand and punches Qubo in the stomach.
"Gha...!" Qubo spits out and slowly falls to the ground, unconscious.
Geras recedes his sand into his body before holding out a wanted poster of Qubo from his vest, "Reward of capture." He places on the owner to the bar owner, "Credit goes to to, barkeep." He adds, "You can take the Kool-aid money out of his bounty, and by a new table while you're at it." he proceeds to walk off, "And feel free to keep the change." He walks out of the tavern.
"Woah...!" Clesspin's in awe.
"Now that guy is cool." Jetoal definietly admits with a blink of surprise.
"It looked like he used sand magic just now." Illyana noticed.
"A-Amazing..." Yomei finds herself blushing a little bit at Geras, but quickly recompose herself.
They then leave the tavern and follow him outside, :Hey, wait up!" Clesspin calls, getting Geras to stop.
"What is it?" Geras asks after they caught up.
"What you did back there was awesome!" Clesspin exclaims with beaming eyes, "What's your name again? We forget back there cause of the commotion."
"..." Geras only gazes, but introduces himself regardless, "Geras Marko, I'm a bounty hunter."
"A Bounty hunter? Now that's cool!" Clesspin compliments, "I'm Clesspin Renata, great to meet ya."
"Jetoal Hairzo, what up." He raises a hand.
"I'm Illyana Kotass, hey." She smiles.
"Yomei Lata..." She turns away, a little, "And thanks again for buying the Kool-Aid."
"Don't mention it, some barkeepers are deaf every now and then." Geras said before noticing their marks, "Those marks must mean you're all from a guild.
"Yep, we're mages from the Arkobolos Guild." Illyana explains, "Currently we're on a job to find a bad man."
"I see." Geras gets it, "Well, good luck on that." He proceeds to walk off.
Having more questions, Clesspin follows him and continues "Hey Geras! The way you took out that old Qubo guy in just one shot was awesome."
"Oh yeah? My sand arm did it's thing." Geras replies.
"It was really surprising..." Yomei adds.
"Like that saying goes in the blink of an eye, I bet that's the thing they're talking about." Jetoal said, hands in pockets.
"When you're a bounty hunter, death is stared in the face everyday." Geras states.
"Woah... aren't you too young to be a bounty hunter?" Jetaol asks, curiously.
"Aren't you too young to be a mage?" Geras remarks, making Jetoal grin cheekily while rubbing his head.
"Never mind, didn't expect that." Jetaol admits defeat on that one.
"Man! So what do you bounty hunters do?" Clesspin asks curiously.
"Let's see... some people put a reward on the bad guys that are too tough to catch for free." Geras explains, "And we capture or kill them to gain the reward. Simple."
"Oh I get it, so this job that we're on means that this guy has a bounty too." Clesspin shows the photo of Gosunkugi.
"!" Which surprise Geras enough to make him stop walking, "That's..."
"You know who this guy is?" Illyana asks.
"Gosunkugi... this man's a killer who robs and takes the money off the corpses he's killed." Geras said in knowing, "It doesn't get worse then him."
"Seriously?" Clesspin asks.
"No way..." Yomei's in disbelief.
"They didn't say anything about that on this job request sheet." Illyana pulls it out.
"Job request?" Geras asks, kind of surprised.
"Uh-huh, this job that we're currently on involves tracking this guy down and turning him in to our client." Jetaol explains.
"..." Geras glares a little, having other plans in mind.
"Something wrong?" Yomei asks.
"Oh nothing." Geras responds with a straight-face, "I'll be leaving you guys to your mission. Be careful." He says before walking off once again.
"Yeah, thanks." Clesspin waves.
"Something was pretty off about him that time, ya know?" Jetoal whispers to illyana.
"Yeah... I noticed too." She responds, having caught his expression, but they decide to forget about that and resume on their job and task of finding Gosunkugi.
Later on at 3pm, the team reaches another city. There they see a large bell that is roped through the air, which they then theorize.
"I might be the only one thinking this, but Gosunkugi might be after that bell." Clesspin theorizes.
"Actually, I thought the same think." Jetoal confirms, getting nods form Yomei and Illyana as well.
"The question is... how is he gonna pull it off?" The night slayer wonders.
As they walk thought the stone city, four men in masked-guard outfits begin to follow from afar in a stealthy way. Going in another path, they see a whole through a fenced wall, which they nod to each before going to investigate.
"What the hell happened her?" Clesspin questions as they see a question burned down along with scattered wood. As they walk closer, the four masked men appear and surround them from all sides, with their knifes out and ready,
"Who are you guys?" Jetoal gets into fighting position, as do the rest.
"Judging by their outfits... they might be Gosunkugi's men." Illyana theories.
"I agree. They're trying to box us in and surround us." Yomei adds.
Before the henchmen could attack, a small storm of sand swoops in and blinds the for men, surprising the four slayers. This is when Geras appears and knocks the four henchmen out one at a time before making his sand disappear.
"Too easy." He speaks.
"Geras!" The four slayers widen in surprise.
"What are you doing here?" Jetaol asks.
"I just came to settle a score with Gosunkugi." Geras confirms, definitely taking them off guard.
"Say what?" Illyana asks.
"But catching him is our job." Clesspin said, frowning and gazing at him.
"And I had my sights on him first before you guys came." Geras remarks, "Besides, I have resentment towards him, why? Because he murdered a friend of mine a couple months ago and I'm not gonna stop until he's brought down."
"That's awful and sorry for your lose... but this is still a job for us mages." Clesspin said.
"It'd be a waste of time arguing, so let's just make this a competition and see who catches him first." Geras proposes.
"Fine, you're on." The light slayer accepts the challenge.
"I don't think a competition is necessary if we're all on the same boat in tracking this guy down." Illyana said, "But the more help the better."
"We need to head for that bell." Yomei suggests, "Gosunkugi main objective is most likely on that."
"Yeah, let's go." Jetoal commences it before they do just that, Geras included.
When they get to their destination, the O.K. Temple, the bell is gone and the men guarding it are killed. Before they advance from the O.K. Temple, a few more masked guards get in their way, which the 5 proceed to take them down in a couple hits. After that beatdown, they appear near a cliff and see Gosunkugi riding on the bell after successfully stealing it.
"There he is!" Clesspin exclaims.
"That's him alright." Geras confirms.
"He's our now!" Jetaol exclaims as they jump the 5 then jump and slide down on the rope toward the criminal.
The man turns to see the kids heading his way, and quickly uses his magic power to attack, "Flying nail mist!" He shoots from his mouth.
Clesspin counters with a magic circle forming, "Light Phoenix: Laser!" He fires from his his fingertip which cancels out nail attack.
Through the smoke, Jetaol uses this chance to attack him, "Special delivery!" He coats fist in wood, "Wood Devil's: Ram!" He punches Gosunkugi in the face.
"Guh!" He's sent flying but as he falls, he recovers, "Too slow!" He reveals and throws some needles to the rope they're sliding on, which severs them form the bell and makes the 4 slayers fall into the river, however Geras jumped ahead of time, and uses a rope of his own to latch on to the bell that Gosunkugi is carrying on a boat, "See you around, Ha ha!" He laughs to his enemies, however,
"You're forgetting one." Geras appears, shocking the man, who then tries to defend himself with his sword, but that would prove futile as Geras attacks.
"Sand Dragon's: Desert Slash!" He forms a sand machete and slashes through Gosunkugi's sword and then his left shoulder.
"GWAH!" He rolls around in extreme pain.
"This is the end of the line for you." Geras glares, holding his blade above the criminal.
Observing form the shore, "Damn, looks like we lose the competition." Clesspin said, but grins anyway since they caught the criminal they were searching for, even with a little help.
Later on, Gosunkugi is turned over to the magic council. As much as Geras wanted to kill the criminal, he couldn't since Clesspin would prevent him from doing so and he was already under the government. Luckily, to Geras's delight, the criminal would be executed sooner than later for his past crimes.
After the 5 slayers were paid equally for there efforts and continue on their way afterwards.
Illyana voices this to Geras in noticing, "So you're a Dragon slayer?!"
"Yeah. I forget you guys saw me use my attack back there." Geras confirmed, "You two also seem to be slayers after I saw your attacks." He glances to Jetaol and Clesspin.
"Yep, I'm the Light Phoenix slayer." Clesspin grins in confirmation.
"While I'm a Wood Devil Slayer." Jetoal grins as well.
"Does that mean you girls are slayers two?" Geras asks.
"Yep, I'm a Night Devil Slayer, and Yomei here is the Jade God slayer." Illyana reveals too, smiling.
"What a surprise. Didn't expect this from you 4." Geras admits as they keep walking in a forest area.
"Same from you. I mean, you're a Dragon slayer just like our guild mate, Setasuke." Clesspin said.
"Is that so? What type of slayer is he?" Geras asks.
"Ice Dragon Slayer." Illyana confirms.
"Who knew there we other dragon slayers besides me." Geras said.
"Hey, Geras." Clesspin calls, getting the Sand Slayer's attention, "How would you like to join on guild?" He asks, surprising the rest, "From what you said before about your late friend, you only became a bounty Hunter just to avenge him." He said, which confirms it by Geras's quiet expression, "See? Well now that Gosunkugi is out of the picture, you won't have to purse being a bounty hunter anymore. Plus, our guild is full of slayers-only and you'd fit right in." He grins, "So what do ya say?"
"..." Geras gazes at the ground, but smiles, "Yeah. I was gonna quiet being a bounty hunter after my ambition was completed anyway." He stops and turns toward the four, "That said, This makes me curious at what other slayers can do, so consider me in. I'll join the guild."
"Yes!" Clesspin and Jetoal immediately jump on top of him, getting him to dramatically try and get them off.
"That's amazing! We've god a new guild member!" Illyana smiles and giggles at the sight of the boys before glancing down to the Jade slayer, "Right, Yomei?"
She sees that the girl is blushing a tad bit at Geras, "Y-Yes..." She replies in a stammer.
"Oh? I know what that expression means..." Illyana knows, getting a smirked tease out of it.
"Alright, off to the guild with a new member to the slayer family." Clesspin raises fist as they advance through the evening sky.
That ends that. 3 new slayers join the guild and one more chapter before the main events of Fairy tail with Arkobolos included. The rest of the guilds appearances will be revealed in chapter 4.
Now that I'm back to this story after having lots of things going on, I've decided to change this story to probably 6 chapters of the spin-off instead of ten since that'd take long.
That'll do for now, and until next time.
