The Answer part 4:Anger
Natsu and Gajeel were In the forest, where Natsu felt Gray's scent, but there was no sign of him. The pink haired boy sniffed again, and his felt his scent again, but In a different direction.
He was here.- Natsu said to Gajeel.
Where could he be ? – Gajeel said with a confused face expression.
I don't know bu- Natsu heard something.- Someone's coming, be ready to fight Gajeel.
Ge-he- Gajeel laughed- Things are getting Interesting.
Natsuu, I am scared…What If a big monster Is coming, to eat us ? – Happy panicked.
Don't worry Happy.-Natsu laughed, and looked at his pal. – I will protect'ya.
The two dragon slayers stood tall, and that's when the girls came out, from the woods.
NATSUUU, IT'S A MONSTER WITH A HOSTAGE- Happy screamed terrified.
What did you say, Happy ? – one of the girls said, and she was looked at the cat with anger.
ERZA, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE ? YOU SHOULD BE RESTI—the boy was Interrupted by Erza, because she punched him In the stomach.
We are searching for Gray-sama..- Juiva said , with a smile on her face, but deep Inside she was worried about him.
Yeah, we are trying to find him too, but It looks like that he was here, and someone else too. – Gajeel said with a wonder.
Who could It be ? – Juvia started thinking, and then she though that It was a girl.- ,,Don't tell me that, Gray-sama had a girlfriend, and that's why he ran away ?,, - the girl started panicking, because her love circle will be more complicated than ever.
Let's continue the search, we are wasting time.- Gajeel said, and team Fairy Tail went to search for Gray.
In the mountains, the battle between Gray and the Sabertooth mages was continuing. The Ice-mage was trying to kill Sting and his friends.
I will kill you…Sting…and then, your friends.- Gray was talking with anger In his voice.
Don't you even think, about It. – A voice from behind said, when a shadow came out from the ground. – SHADOW'S DRAGON CLAW ! – Rogue said, and he attacked Gray. The Ice-mage was thrown away, and with that Rogue stopped Gray from freezing Sting.
Nice one, Rogue ! – Sting said, and dashed towards Gray, and he started punching him.
Come to your senses, Gray-san- Sting was kicking and punching the boy, and besides that Minerva was using her magic, which made explosions around Gray.
Guys, lets finish this ! – Minerva said to Sting and Rogue.
Right ! – The Dragon Slayers agreed with Minerva.
Sting went back to Rogue, and they were going to launch their strongest attack.
UNISON RAID...HOLY SHADOW DRAGON'S FLASH FANG – with a White Dragon Slayer Magic user and Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic user they combined their power, and they created a more powerful and destructive attack. By releasing a large amount of shadows and white light from their fists, the users merged their Magic and release It ,as a combined burst of the aforementioned light and shadows. The boys released their attack at Gray, while Minerva was using her Yagdo Rigora, which caused explosions all around the Ice wizard. The Dragons Slayers and Minerva were breathing heavy, because they went over-board against Gray.
We said not to hurt him but, he was out of control..-Sting said while breathing.
Yes, I think that he Is finished. – Rogue said, when suddenly from the dust, they saw Gray standing tall.
WHAT THE HELL ? –Sting said In anger.
There Is no way…- Rogue and Minerva said, while watching Gray.
The boy survived their attack, because of the Devil Slayer Magic that took control over his body. Gray was furious with the Sabertooth mages , he dashed at Sting and Rogue and kicked them both, throwing them away from Minerva.
Sting, Rogu- Minerva was Interrupted, because Gray started choking her, the boy lifted Minerva up, and he was looking her with the eyes of a killer.
LET HER GO ! – The Dragon Slayers screamed, and then dashed at him again. Sting managed to punch Gray In the face, and then Rogue to kick him In the stomach, causing Gray to drop Minerva on the ground. The Dragon Slayers pushed Gray to the edge of a cliff, underneath him there was a forest.
Thanks, guys.- Minerva was breathing heavy and she was smiling at them.
Rogue, stay with Minerva…-Sting looked at him, and dashed at Gray, when he was near him, Sting leaped at the Ice mage, causing them both to fall.
STING ! – Rogue and Minerva screamed In horror.
The boys fell from the cliff, and Sting was holding on to Gray.
I AM YOUR OPPONENT NOW, GRAY-SAN. – Sting screamed at Gray, and they crashed on a tree. The boys were falling down on the tree, breaking It's branches, and that made the fall less painful. When they hit the ground, Sting got up , and he moved away from Gray.
,,I must use It,,- Sting took a deep breath, and suddenly an Immense magical power was coming out from him.- White Shadow Mode ! – Sting entered his second form, and with that half of his body was painted with shadows.
Gray was looking him serious, and then the both mages clashed.
STING, STING ! – Rogue was screaming from the top of the cliff.- We must find him, use your territory magic to teleport us to him, he can't fight with Gray-san, he's magic power Is immense. – Rogue said to Minerva.
I can't Rogue...I'm all out of magical power..- she said while breathing heavily.
Damn It…- Rogue said through teeth. – In that case..-he picked up Minerva from the ground, and they started walking.- We won't leave Sting alone, we are his comrades after all – Rogue smiled at Minerva.
In Sabertooth everybody was worried, about Sting, Rouge and Minerva, because they disappeared with Gray.
Rogueee – Frosch was crying for his friend, because he was everywhere with him.
Don't cry, Frosch.. I am sure that they are okay, because Sting-kun, Rogue and lady Minerva are strong. – he said confidently.
I am not sure about It. – Rufus said to the cats.- When we entered the medical room, It was all beaten up.- Rufus said worried.
There Is no way, that could Gray defeat them..-Ogra said to Rufus.
We must find them – Yukino said to the boys, and they got up, when suddenly someone entered Sabertooth.
Who's that ? – Everybody looked at the door.
THE FAIRY TAIL MAGES ? What are they doing here ? – Sabertooth mages were looking furious with them.
Where IS GRAY ? – Natsu started screaming.- IF YOU DON'T TELL ME, I WILL BLOW UP THIS PLA- - Erza hit the boy In the head, and he stopped.
What are you doing here Erza-san ? – Yukino asked nicely.
We are looking for Gray, he went missing and his scent brought us here. – Erza answered with a smile on her face.
Uhm…-Yukino's face became worried.- At the moment I don't know where he Is, but I know that he Is fighting with Sting-kun, Rogue-kun and Lady Minerva.-she was looking sad.
HE'S WHAT ? – Everybody from Fairy Tail gasped.
Gray-kun went on rampage, when Sting-kun and Rogue-kun brought him here, he was badly Injured and he was unconscious…When he woke up, his whole body was with black markings and his eyes were purple.. Lady Minerva teleported them, somewhere else..- Yukino said with a sad expression on her face.
You stay here, we are going to find them, and bring them back – Juvia said confidently, and smiled Yukino, even though she was worried about Gray.
LET'S GO THEN ! – Natsu screamed and they went out of the guild. The pink haired boy, started sniffing and he felt Gray and Sting's scents.- I tracked them ! – Natsu said, and Team Fairy Tail started running towards the place where Gray and Sting were fighting.
Meanwhile In the forest, the Fairy tail mage Gray Fullbuster and Sabertooth's guild master Sting, were fighting In one on one hand combat. In his second dragon force form, Sting was faster than before and Gray couldn't protect himself. Sting punched him In the face, then he used his knee hitting his stomach.
Is that enough, Gray-san ? – Sting looked at his opponent who was still standing tall.- I WILL BEAT THIS THING OUT OF YOU ! – Sting dashed at him, and punched him In the face. – ONE MORE ! – Sting lifted his kick up, and hit Gray's chin. Gray fell on the ground, and Sting stood tall and looked at him. While he was on the ground, Gray punched the ground, and broke It, the boy got up and looked at Sting.
Protect her…I MUST PROTECT HER ! – Gray screamed and dashed towards Sting, punching him In the face.
,,What's wrong with him ? – Sting said to himself, and went straight forward to Gray.
I WILL KILL YOU, IN ORDER TO PROTECT HER ! – Gray's thoughts were blinded by his Devil Slayer Magic, he started punching Sting, but the Dragon Slayer could block his attacks perfectly.
,,I must finish hi-,, - his thoughts were interrupted, by Gray's punch which was covered with Ice.
BE GONE ! – Gray punched him In the stomach, with his other fist, which was covered with ice too. Sting was kneeling, down and he spitted some blood on to the ground.
Let's finish this, GRAY-SAN.- Sting focused his White Dragon Slayer Magic and his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic In both of his hands, and then he combined the two elements.- ,,I will finish this battle, with my strongest magic,,
YOU DIE HERE ! – Gray molded a giant bow with an arrow, this was his strongest magic Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow.
The two mages were about to clash, this battle was going to end, with only one man to stand tall.
I WILL GET THIS THING OUT OF YOU ! – Sting screamed at Gray and he was about to unleash his magic.
DIE ! – Gray screamed at Sting and he was going to charge his Ice arrow at the Dragon Slayer. The two boys screamed, and then suddenly someone appeared kicking Gray from the air In his face, and someone punching Sting In the face. They were stopped by Natsu and Gajeel.
Natsu-san, Gajeel-san ! – Sting sighed In relief, because they stopped the fight.
GRAY, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING YOU BASTARD ? – Natsu screamed at Gray, and he saw his body, It was all covered In black magic, and his eyes were purple.
Where are Rogue and Minerva ? – Gajeel asked, Sting.
They are on that mountain, up there.. I wanted them to stay back, because Gray-san was going berserk, and he was about to kill Lady Minerva…- Sting sounded worried.
Natsu, Gajeel – Erza and Juvia showed up.
We were on time to stop them, they were trying to kill each other. – Natsu was keeping Gray down on the ground, because he wasn't under control.
Gray-sama ! – Juvia runed towards him and she fell on her knees, when she saw him. He was looking like a demon. – What happened to you ? – she placed her hand on his face, and tears started falling from her eyes.- Juvia was so worried…-she said and tears fell on Gray's face.
Ju-vi-a ? – Gray said her name, and his black markings started to disappear from his body, soon he was back to normal.
What am I doing here ? – He asked In confusion, and then he remembered what happened, he felt guilty and full of anger of himself.- Natsu let me go…-he said with a serious tone.
Why should I do that ? Why should I trust you, that you will stay here with us, and you don't run again ?. – Natsu asked with anger In his tone.
I won't Natsu, I can't even walk…I don't have any magical power left..- with saying that Natsu got up from him.
STING ! – Rogue and Minerva appeared and went straight to Sting.
Are you okay ? – both of them asked, and then they saw the Fairy Tail mages.
What are you doing here Gajeel-san ? – Rogue asked.
We came here to pick Gray up – Gajeel said with a grin on his face.
You are all beaten up – Erza said – Is this Grays doing ? – Erza asked In shock. The Sabertooth mages tilted their heads In agreement.
,,I can't believe that he Is capable of doing that,,- she said to herself and looked at Gray.-,,He Is all beaten up too, even though he was that badly Injured he was fighting three of the strongest mages In Sabertooth.-Erza thought to herself and she was still shocked.
Gray and Sting were both on the ground and they couldn't move a muscle, they had bruises and stains of blood on their faces.
What are we going to do now, Erza ? – Gajeel asked the red haired girl.
I don't know, Gray's condition Is bad, and we can't carry him to the guild..-Erza said worried.
You can stay at our guild, we have bedrooms for everyone – Minerva smiled at the Fairy Tail mages.
Thank you very much, Minerva – Erza smiled back at her.
Rogue and Minerva picked up Sting and started walking towards the guild, Natsu and Gajeel did the same and the other Fairy Tail mages followed them.
Sting, can you tell me what happened. – Erza asked the Injured Dragon Slayer.
It's hard to explain but…- he coughed and blood went out of his mouth.
Sting – Minerva and Rogue yelled worried.
I'm fine, It's side effect of Gray-san's punches.- He grinned and then started talking.- Well me and Rogue were on a mission to find and kill a beast who was terrorizing a near village, and when we were there we found Gray-san badly Injured, and he was defending himself from the monster, If we have arrived a minute late Gray-san would be a goner….Then we finished the monster, he fainted on the ground, and we carried him to our guild, when we were In the medical room, he was talking about some guy named Invel when he was unconscious, and that's when he's Devil Slayer Magic activated. – Sting coughed again, but this time there was no blood.- If It wasn't Minerva to teleport us somewhere else, the guild would be destroyed. – Sting told the Fairy Tail mages what happened.
Invel you say, huh ? – Natsu remembered what happened between them, Invel was one of the strongest Spriggains.
,,That's the guy, that fought Juvia and Gray-sama…- Juvia said to herself and looked at Gray, who was looking angry.
In couple of hours, the mages arrived at the guild.
WE ARE HOME ! – Sting screamed and everybody went around them.
Sting-kun ! – Lector jumped at him and hugged him.
ROGUE ! – Frosch went to Rogue and hugged him. – I missed you Rogue.- a tear was on Frosch's eye.
I am home Frosch.- He smiled at the cat and hugged him.
Are you okay Lady Minerva ? – Yukino said to Minerva.
I'm fine, thank you – She smiled kindly to her.
Hey Is that the Fairy Tail mage who did that to you ? – Ogra said with anger, and went to Gray.
Leave him alone, Ogra ! – Sting said and coughed again. - ,,Damn his punches were hard,,- Escort the Fairy Tail mages to their rooms, and Gray-san to the medical room.- Sting ordered them.
Yes ! – The guild members escorted the Fairy tail mages to their rooms, and Gray to the medical room. Gray was lying on his bed, and he was looking at the ceiling.
,,What have I done, I thought I could control this magic ? And Invel Is gone for a long time now, what's wrong with me ?,, - he said to himself, and he's thoughts were Interrupted, when someone knocked on the door.
Come In- Gray said, and got on the bed In sitting position.
Gray-sama…Juvia came to see If you are alright…- She said with a shy tone In her voice.
I am fine, thanks..-He smiled at her, but then he remembered what he had done to her. But now It was the time for him to tell her his real answer.
Juvia..It's time for you to know my real answer…-Gray looked her seriously In the eyes and his heart starting beating fast, and the girls eyes widened when she heard him.
