My grandparents came over for 2 weeks to see us so I haven't had much spare time.
Chapter Eighteen.
Liz and Venus spat out the blood that was filling their mouths. The Takeover Mage looked down at her fingertips, noting the way her nails had sharpened and turned ink black. Smirking, Venus ripped the white cloak from her form and threw it to her side. Her new appearance would hide her identity from the guilds, especially Fairy Tail.
Yesterday, she'd tried out her new Demon Form and had gotten a grip on it.
"You're staring" She stated, cocking her head to the side eyeing the boy known as Hibiki. Venus knew all to well how she was dressed, but it didn't mean she was giving out invitations to trail her body. The green that littered her arms and legs glowed dangerously as her anger continued to fill her up, whilst the piece of flimsy clothing let the heat escape.
(A/N: Search up "Takeover Halphas Mirajane", on Google Images to know what it looks like except with different colours)
"Lech" Came Liz's chirp that made the Demon girl turn to face her friend. The Whitette had the ground surrounding her shaking and cracking to meet her demands which made Eve pale.
He sent a wave of ice towards them which was followed up by Hibiki summoning projected box holding words and Latin as well as Greek symbols. Liz flicked her hand chanting three words that made her eyes reflect the universe.
Venus smirked and charged ahead, dodging the many attacks thrown at her. With a final burst of energy, she flipped herself so that she stood behind the two Blue Pegasus boys.
"Hey" She mocked before kicking the brunette and sending him flying a few feet North. Eve's face showed fear as the pinkette in green and black approached him, her wings spreading out behind her. "Wanna go?"
It was a rhetorical question and the Snow Mage understood that. Venus threw a punch coated in some dark aura towards him which he blocked and took the opportunity to force an abnormally large icicle through her stomach making it stick out the other side.
"Eve is it? You're not that bad" She stated smiling as blood rolled down her legs and began pooling around her.
Liz felt a pinch of anger as she saw her sister skewed. She felt the stars power coursing through her as they resonated with her heart. In a flash, her eyes shot open as they radiated a bright white. Venus dropped to the sandy floor as she heard two familiar voices shouting.
...
Lucy's hands shot up to cover her mouth, forcing her scream to die in her throat. The Pinkette in the ring fell to the ground, unmoving.
"She's not dead" The Bluette beside her commented, "She's still got fifteen minutes before she's beyond help"
The Celestial Mage's eyes widened, "Hurry up girls" She whispered, her hands shaking.
...
Anya's eyes narrowed at the blonde Snow Mage in the arena as she exposed her flesh to the harmful rays of the sweltering sun. Her black hair was tied up in a seductive ponytail whilst the gold haired girl beside her with her usual rose headband.
"Ready?" She asked, eager to get some payback.
"Ready" Rosie replied clinging onto the arena's rails that seperated the audience from the competitors. Making a scene was fairly easy, all they had to do was make the metal bars brake somehow and pretend to fall in.
"Go Hibiki!" Rosie yelled, faking a wide smile.
"You can take her Eve!" Anya added, gripping the iron cylinder and crushing it using her inhuman and animalistic strength. Rosie joined in and sent a jolt of electricity to fry the screws holding it at the sides. With a staged scream the two girls pushed the railing and proceeded to fall in as the gasps and shouts for someone to help.
The two Blue Pegasus boys watched in horror as the Lightening Fairy Slayer and the Animal Transforming Mages fell. Eve and Hibiki charged forward and stretched out their arms preparing for the weight of the very well-shaped women. Sure enough, the skin contact occurred as a jolt something sparked the four people. Venus glanced at Liz who seemed just as surprised.
"Are you two alright?" Eve asked sweetly, as if he hadn't just sent a icicle through their sister. Shaking, they both nodded and said a quick thank you. Hibiki and Eve's backs were to the-now standing- Takeover Mage and the Space Mage who gave a subtle nod, telling them it was okay now.
"Eck~! We're in the match! We're so sorry! The railing just gave way" Anya lied, letting a few tears escape her dark green eyes. As if hit on the head, the two guys suddenly remembered that it was true. They jumped up and took their first step on the pavement, which was quite impressive. It would normally take an entire ladder or two to get from the arena to the first set of seats. Male Mages! Rosie thought with slight amusement.
.
Liz and Venus stood beside each other as they watched their opponents gracefully leep down back into the match. They were back to being alert, quickly they gave a look back to the two Demon Tear girls without their cloaks, sending a silent message.
"Thank you~!" They yelled which made the attention from the Pegasus boys shake long enough for Liz to shout.
"Space Magic: Demon Stars!" On cue, the sky shun silver and gold as the sight of meteors came into view. Venus ran forward again planted a heeled foot in the crotch of the blonde boy.
"That's for the icicle" She snarled, throwing a fist to his head, "And that was just for fun"
Shocked, he got back to his feet, "You should be unconscience!"
"Actually. I should be dead" The pinkette corrected, sending a cold stare his way before holding out a hand that forced out some kind shower of black magic that ate away at his clothes (slightly. NO BAD THOUGHTS!)
"Get back!" Liz yelled who was busy slapping the living daylights out of Hibiki. The space mage ran backwards and grabbed onto her partner's hand who sent them flying up, letting themselves to miss the oncoming rocks on fire.
...
"The winners are...Demon Tears!" The announcer announced making the arena cheer in delight. Onix leaped over the railings and made her way to the now unconscience Venus with the worried Liz at her side.
Lucy soon caught up along with the rest of the Saints who surrounded the Takeover Mage in a circle.
"I'll do it" Angeline said throwing her palms to the sky, only to be copied by the rest of the guild.
"If it's all of us then it can't hurt you as much" Iris explained cooly, eyeing Eden, making sure she was following suit. Last time, the Dragon Slayer had stepped out because she'd spotted a new edition of Love me! In the bookstore opposite them at the time.
Three months ago, they'd discovered that if Angeline used her Purity Magic, she could heal someone as well but only if she took a portion of Onix's Hex Magic and suffered the exchange of an injuries pain going to her.
Angeline and Memory had grown close over the time span, since they were the same age, meaning they'd been left alone when the older members went off to train because they were too young to join the Tournament. Needless to say, the two Mistress' came back to a guild covered with frosting and other substances they weren't brave enough to identify.
"It's okay. Angel and I'll just take it. You guys are in the match, we can't afford to have you hurt in any way" Memory said, gripping her honey brown-haired sister and friend.
Sighing, Princess took a step away from the scene, followed by every other girl.
Angeline muttered some words as something inside Venus glowed and traveled through her body, splitting in half at where the heart should have been and flowed up into the arms that were gripping her own.
With a gasp the Takeover Mage's eyes flew open, sitting up off of the ground as if she were an "L". Angeline and Memory's hands flew to their stomachs as they muffled a scream of pain.
"You didn't" Venus said, dragging the tank top up to discover her healed body.
Ta-da~! Chapter eighteen after a seriously long wait. My bad!
-Kai-chan~!
