Disclaimer: Fairy Tail belongs to someone else but I own the OCs
After a lot of walking Wendy and Romeo came across a very quaint little town. Assuming that this was the place where Izo was, they decided to look around but since they didn't really know what to expect they opted to stay together. Surprising both of them, the people either looked at them wide eyed or smiling.
"Do you get the feeling that this whole town is watching us?" Romeo asked glancing in her direction.
"A little"
Suddenly as they were talking Wendy felt a small tap on her arm. When they both looked down they saw two boys and a girl who looked about six.
"Can we help you kids?" she asked squatting down so she could be at eye level.
"Umm, we were wondering; are you guys really from Fairy Tail?" one of the boys asked pointing at Wendy's guild mark.
"Yes we are," she answered smiling.
The children's eyes lit up and Wendy couldn't help but feel happy for them. They started to ask questions about what it's like to go out on jobs and what it's like to be in a guild. After a while the little girl looked over at Romeo, who was standing behind them the whole time.
"Miss Wendy is that guy your boyfriend?" she asked with a grin.
Both of their faces went complexly red; however, they didn't have a chance to answer when someone unexpected came into view.
"Oh there you two are," called someone from a distance.
One of the kids noticed who it was and started to wave franticly/
"Miss Mizu, hi," the little yelled as she came closer.
Turning around, Romeo and Wendy were shocked to see who was coming. It was the same girl that had been with Izo at the train, his sister. She walked into the group like there was nothing wrong and she started talking to both of them like they were good friends.
"My brother's been looking all over for you guys," Mizu said happily.
Not wanting to alarm the kids both of them decided to play alone with Mizu's little charade.
"Our bad we lost track of time," Wendy apologized.
"Don't worry about it. I'll take you to him."
After saying goodbye to the children the three wizards walked off while an obvious tension hung in the air. She led them to a clearing outside of town where the three of them stood tense and ready to move in a second.
While all of this was going on Ishi went down to the basement to have a word with his son. Izo, still in chains, shot a glare toward his father as soon as he walked into the room.
"I see you're awake; how was your nap son?"
"I think you broke one of my ribs."
"Don't worry that'll heal in time. Anyway I have some exciting news for you."
"What is it?"
"Your friends are here in town and your sister went to talk to them."
"What?" he exclaimed.
"She said something about taking care of the problem."
He tried desperately to struggle out of the chains but a combination of the pain in his side and the tightness of the shackles made him stop. After his son's struggling ended Ishi couldn't help but smirk.
"Don't worry son; I'm sure she'll kill them quickly."
He turned around to leave while Izo stated to struggle again
Back at the clearing the three wizards were in the middle of an intense battle. Even though it was two on one, Mizu was the one with the upper hand.
"I expected more from two Fairy Tail wizards."
"You haven't seen anything yet."
The two glanced at each other, giving a signal they only used in emergencies. They created some distance between each other while also getting away from Mizu. For second they didn't do anything but stand there but then Romeo fired off a Red Flare while Wendy used her Sky Dragon Roar. The attacks formed a unison raid, a fire tornado, and Mizu used her Water Dragon Roar to intercept it. When the two collided a huge cloud of steam erupted making it impossible to see anything.
"Romeo, are you okay?" Wendy yelled.
"Yeah I'm good, how about you?"
"I'm fine."
Before the two could continue talking the massive cloud of steam began to recede. Horrifying both of them, the cloud only took a few seconds to completely disappear. Once they were able to see again they saw Mizu licking her lips in satisfaction.
"Mmm, that was good."
"How did you do that?" Romeo stuttered.
"I'm a Water Dragon Slayer. Except for ice I can "eat" any kind of water even if it's in the air."
Before another word could be said she charged at Wendy with a claw of water. She didn't have time think, seeming to slow, time passed frame by frame as Romeo pushed her out of the way taking Mizu's attack full force. She slashed his arm causing him to scream in pain while he fell to the ground. Wendy couldn't do anything but watch as Mizu walked over to her and knocked her out.
As soon as Ishi walked back down into the basement Izo looked away in disgust. Surprising him, his father released him from his steel shackles only to immediately replace them with his own stone variety. Getting dragged up the stairs and into the foyer, Izo was speechless when he saw his two teammates lying unconscious at Mizu's feet.
"What did you do to them?" he yelled while looking at the gash on Romeo's arm.
"Nothing to horrible and the guy is still alive, barley," she answered.
He tried lunging at his sister but his father quickly grabbed him and pinned him to the ground with more rocks.
"Just lay there and watch boy."
Ishi's hand turned into a stone spear as he walked over to Romeo and Wendy. The only thing that was going through Izo's mind was Carla's premonition that she had told them about. The scene playing out was the exact same one she described to them but instead of being up and ready to kill; he was pinned to the floor forced to watch.
And I'll leave it at a cliffhanger. Don't forget to leave a review and I'll catch you guys later.
