Getting used to the new laptop. Its a bit weird because the keys are really smooth and it makes typing sort of difficult because I feel like Im pretty gliding over the keys. I should probably slow down.
Also, tell which villain you liked best in all of my stories. I just wanted to know. And I am just tired right now. Im not watching the Super Bowl because I dont like Football.
*sigh* school tomorrow...just wish me luck guys...
Enjoy the chapter.
Despite being a dark guild, King of Blades was not one that was notorious for causing trouble. They were the dark guild version of Hunter Pride, mercenaries. They served as foot soldiers for various warlords in Asarabia and other warlords. Their leader was a former member of the notorious Toy Box and he was infamous for the kidnapping of 8 lords. Rumors said that he was a cannibal.
...
The group of three was walking through the forest, alert and ready for anything they might find. The forest was their greatest enemy and everything bad seemed to happen in a forest. Asura looked up at the trees, scanning the branches for anything that might be following them. Azami was looking from side to side, checking for anything suspicious moving through the woods. Raymond just walked ahead, looking up at the two other mages from time to time. The forest was full of life but it was also cary, the darkness of the forest hiding evil that lurked within.
"Who goes there."
The group froze and Azami let out a scream as the wood on one of the trees started to melt away, revealing someone dressed in a skintight black jumpsuit with three sticks on his back and his eyes were covered by a metal band that went all the way around his head. The man reached behind and grabbed one of the sticks and it quickly transformed into a blade made of sharp steel. The man swung it expertly, the air hissing as the blade struck the ground in front of him.
"I repeat again...who goes there..." the man said again, this time his voice rising a bit.
Azami just glared at the man, angered by the man's rudeness.
"Azami Shion, Fairy Tail." she said confidently, not intimidated by the man.
Suddenly Asura cursed and he pointed behind Azami and another man had come out of a tree, looking exactly like the man who was standing in front of them. And suddenly they were surrounded by hundreds of copies of the same man who had challenged them. Asura, Azami and Raymond formed into a triangle, not wanting to be caught off guard.
"Kukukukukuku...it was a mistake coming here. King of Blades...strike!" the men shouted at once as every single on jumped forward, swords ready.
Middle of the forest
"...did you lead those people here..."
Gin smiled and he lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. It had been difficult to convince Walther to join them. And now the dark guild master was glaring at him, feeling betrayed. But Gin wasnt worried. He had seen Walther fight.
"Did you honestly think getting involved with us wouldnt have side effects? You're a wanted man Walther. Once you decided to join with us, you made yourself a target. Better clean this mess up yourself or I just might have to step in." Gin said, grinning at the man, smoke trailing from the lit cigarette.
Walther narrowed his eyes. Walther and Nebula didnt trust Gin but they were still in a bit of a mess so there was no choice.
"I only decided to join you because we thought we would have something to gain but I guess we can only lose in a situation like this." Walther said bitterly as the guild master faded from view.
...
"Fires of the forge!" Asura shouted as flames burst around him, knocking back two of the swordsmen to the ground.
Azami herself had already engaged herself, using her Spirit Make to form a revolver and fired bullets at the enemy, the bullets shooting straight through the swordsmen, sending them flopping to the ground. Raymond was busy dodging attacks, kicking and punching. He wasnt much of a mage having just started his training but he was skilled in close combat, having been trained at an early age. The swordsmen were quick and their blades were razor sharp, several times cutting Asura and Azami. But they were not very resistant to magic and they were defeated easily, heaps of swordsmen appearing on the ground.
And finally, they defeated them all. Every single swordsman that had attacked them was laying on the ground. There must have been at least 6 piles of men and Asura and Azami were tired. Raymond was sitting on the ground, panting and the group was about to continue on the into the forest when a strong breeze stopped them.
"Looks like you did the easy part first..."
The ground split in half and several black rubbery arms reached through and pulled up a man wearing a sky blue coat with short blonde hair. His piercing blue eyes seemed to see straight through you. A black blob with a single eye sat on top of his head, silently watching the three Fairy Tail mages. The man soon landed on the ground, just looking at the mages.
"What exactly do you want. Did the government send you? If they did then go away." Walther said bluntly as the three mages looked at the man in the coat.
"We were sent...but not by the government. We are mages from Fairy Tail and we are to investigate you and your guild for suspicious activity." Asura said, looking at the mage, feeling a sense of hostility once the name "Fairy Tail" had come up.
The man cocked his head to the side and smiled slowly.
"Fairy Tail? We still have a bone to pick with you..." Walther said quietly.
Azami suddenly felt stricken with fear. Something about this man wasnt right! Raymond was looking at the man with interest. Asura's body started to heat up again. Walther nodded his head.
"Go on, strike first and see why I am known as the 'Lord of Clams'." Walther said, obviously challenging Asura.
Asura let out a shout as he ran forward, fist burning with flames and his entire body had undergone transformation. His skin was a bronze color and his hair was a mess of flames, blazing and giving off sparks as he ran and smashed his fist towards Walther.
"Trivial."
Asura let out a cry of pain as he was sent slamming back into the ground, an arm of black material smashing into him. Azami and Raymond just looked at the man, fear growing. Walther had several black rubbery arms surrounding him, each with a different weapon. Azami broke out of her trance and grit her teeth as she summoned her revolver once again and shot rapidly at the man.
"Those things cant protect you if its a ranged attack!" she shouted a the bullets blasted towards Walther.
The bullets seemed to get through to Walther but then suddenly the bullets flew back, landing on the ground in front of Azami. Azami and Raymond looked amazed as they saw that Walther had been encased in the black rubbery substance! The barrier retreated and Walther was grinning.
"Do you know why they call me the 'Lord of Clams'? Its because I have a barrier that reacts to any threat!" Walther shouted as the arms shot forward, various huge weapons hanging off each of them.
Asura was up by then and he managed to dodge one of the huge black spike balls and Azami slid out of the way. Raymond found himself trapped by two of them and he couldnt dodge.
'Im going to die!' Raymond thought desperately as the spikes closed in towards him.
"Oh no, not yet!"
The spikes suddenly reared up and smashed back into the ground around Raymond. The boy just looked in awe as the spikes retreated back towards the black blob sitting on Walther's head. Azami and Asura slowly stood and they were thinking as fast as they could.
'This guy has a barrier! How the hell are we supposed to beat him?' Asura thought as he went through everything he had.
Asura finally selected a move he could make work and Azami seemed to be getting ready to make her own attack happen.
"Outrage!" Asura shouted as hundreds of flames surrounded Walther.
"Spirit Make! Colossus!" Azami shouted as a huge being made of mist appeared above Walther.
Raymond just silently rooted for Azami and Asura as their attacks hit Walther and sent a huge shockwave through the forest, splitting several trees. The colossus slammed its fists into Walther's body and the flames exploded, sending flames burning through Walther's body. The smoke and dust blasted everywhere and everyone on the battlefield was blinded for a few minutes. But the three mages stepped back in shock once the smoke cleared.
"That was a close one Nebula..."
Walther was coughing and there were several burn marks on his coat but otherwise, he was unharmed. The man grinned and the arms grew out of Nebula once more.
"Lets finish them." Walther said coldly as the arms shot forward at blinding speed and slammed into each of the mages.
Raymond hit the ground hard, the wind being knocked out of him. His heart pounded as he looked up at the tree leaves and he lost some of his hearing. The arms came again and this time it sent Raymond smashing through a tree and into a rock. The voices howled in Raymond's head.
He saw Asura and Azami taking a beating from the arms and the voice spoke to him.
"You are weak. I am strong...I will lend you my power! Together, we will defeat the enemy with the help of your pathetic friends!"
Raymond climbed slowly to his feet. Asura and Azami were still fighting, taking hit after hit and trying to send attacks at the dark guild master.
"I am the weakest of the weak...I accept your offer!" Raymond shouted, anger going through him.
"Good. Here is the true power of a saint!"
Raymond let out a chuckle of evil as his left eye turned a red color.
"I am no longer weak. Together with my friends...we will WIN!"
