Welcome back guys! Sorry for the wait, I had a little difficulties with this chapter and that's why it's not as long as the others. But I have some news guys!
First of all I put up another drawing of Kera, this time even from when she was a child. So go ahead and check that out at my deviantart profile, same name as here.
Second of all, since we're coming slowly to the end of this story, ian12091995 has given me an idea of a new story. Of course this story was a 'what if' story so the next one will be set after 'The Dragon Hunt', this one never happening.
Now back to the story idea. You guys can vote for what you want. I have a poll on my profile where you can go and vote and help me out with what you guys want.
You will have two choices. The first one is the story idea ian has given me, being about Kiara the daughter of Zeref and Mavis and Kera's grandmother and how she became a Dragon and the Queen of Dragons. It will go from the beginning of her life with Zeref and Mavis all the way to when Kayeleth was born and her life with her daughter. It will also contain Kera and how she is finding the information but mostly will be about how it all happened.
The second one is not going to the past and simply stay where we are and write another story about Fairy Tail and their crazy adventures.
So it's all up to you guys. So please go ahead and vote, it will help me a lot. You can also leave a review here what you want but it would help a lot if you go vote on the poll.
Now back to the chapter!
Meowhaha: Glad you liked it! And I also loved the idea of a Knight riding a Dragon so that's how that happened
ian12091995: Erza Scarlet, Queen of the Fairies and now a Dragon Rider
Luca: She definitely did, but I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter!
Sting rolled out of the way, a kinetic blast flying over his head. He stopped his momentum by putting a hand against the wall. He turned his head and saw Natsu dashing towards Severina. He jumped into the air, his fist encased in flames ready to punch the woman.
Yet he stopped when he hit an invisible wall yet again. They were having a hard time getting close to Severina. She kept on blasting them away or using walls to block their attacks.
"Open! Gate of the Lion!" Lucy called summoning Loke into the fight. The Celestial Spirit smirked as he tightened his tie. "Looks like Lucy needs her man to rescue her."
"You're not my man!" She shouted.
Loke smirked as his eyes landed on Severina. The red haired woman on the other hand simply scoffed. "You think a Spirit can beat me?" The Lion Spirit jumped straight towards Severina, his fist encased in light. Severina grinned and simply raised her hand. Loke hit a wall stopping his attack. "What the…"
"Bye bye." Severina smirked thrusting her hand forward. Loke cried out in pain as he was blown back. While in the air he started to glow vanishing, defeated by just one attack.
Lucy gritted her teeth as she saw Loke go back to the Spirit World. This woman was freaky crazy. She already took her strongest… one of her strongest Spirits down with just one strike! How was that even possible!
Gray and Wendy were in the back taking care of an injured Juvia. She was still badly bruised from Kera's fight, but the last attack she received from Severina had taken a lot out of her. While Wendy took care of her Gray and, in some occasions, Juvia would cast long range magic attacks but they wouldn't even reach Severina.
Sting had run straight towards the woman again, both of his fists glowing white. Severina simply smirked and let him get close. The Dragon Slayer was surprised that she let him get so close. Not wasting this opportunity he tried striking strong and fast, hoping to end this fight quickly.
Severina easily dodged the oncoming attacks. She moved to the right, dodging his fist, before taking a step back missing an uppercut. She jumped up slightly avoiding the sweep of his legs. Grinning Severina punched Sting in the stomach before thrusting her palm into his chest.
Sting cried out in pain as he was blasted back. Raising both of her arms she sent them back to the ground, smashing Sting into the ground. He gasped out in pain as his body was overwhelmed with pain.
"Shit Sting!" Natsu shouted getting back on his feet and rushing forward. Severina simply flicked her wrist. "You don't get it do you?" She asked seeing the pink haired Dragon Slayer fly across the room.
Sting gritted his teeth as he struggled back to his feet. The problem was they couldn't see her attacks. Telekinetic magic attacks are invisible and it's a force being slammed into them. It's almost impossible to reach her.
"Sting are you alright?" Lucy asked kneeling down to the injured wizard.
He groaned getting on his hands and knees. "I'm good… just… we need to find a way to get close to her."
"But how? If we even get close to her she blasts us back! That's all she does!" Lucy told him while glancing at Natsu, who again, charged at the woman resulting him to get blasted back.
That's all she does… Sting thought. He looked up and saw Natsu sending a fire attack which Severina dodged by sidestepping and then blast Natsu back.
Wait…
He snapped his head up. "Natsu!" He shouted catching his attention. The pink haired wizard gave Sting a look and something passed between the two Dragon Slayers. Natsu grinned and quickly dashed forward to Severina again.
The red haired woman laughed. "You idiot! Don't you understand? How many times do I have to knock you down? You can't touch me!"
"Let's see about that!" Natsu shouted. "Fire Dragon: Roar!" He let out a burst of fire straight towards Severina. The woman snorted and raised her hand, a wall stopping the attack. She smirked. "I told you, you can't touch me."
"Think again!"
Severina quickly turned around seeing Sting right in front of her. She tried getting out of the way but it was already too late. Sting successfully landed a punch into her chest sending her back. Severina let out a pained cry as she hit a column. Sting quickly ran after her but the woman wasn't going to take a hit from him again.
"White Dragon: Wing Attack!" Sting shouted slashing his arm forward, a wave of powerful white magic heading straight for her.
Severina got on one knee and waved the attack away with her powers. "You fool!" She shouted but Sting just gave her a smirk.
The woman was confused but saw something beside her. She saw Natsu right beside her swinging his leg.
For a moment her world went completely black.
When she opened her eyes again she saw both Sting and Natsu above her. She tried to move but Sting smashed his foot on her chest stopping her from getting anywhere. "How…" She started.
Sting grinned down at her. "Yea you were impossible to hit, but that was because we were attacking you one by one. But when I noticed that while you were focused on Natsu and I got in, you didn't blast me back with your powers. That was because you were already using it on him. That's why when we attacked together you could only use your powers on one of us."
Severina gritted her teeth. She quickly raised on of her hands ready to blast Sting, but Natsu had reacted on time. He smashed his foot on her arm causing her to hiss in pain. "Yea, you aren't going to do that anymore."
"I don't need my hands." Severina sneered narrowing her eyes at them both. All of a sudden the two boys screamed out in pain as their heads felt like an exploding mess. It was agonizing as they clung against their heads. Not again… Sting gritted his teeth.
Severina grinned as she saw them squirm in pain. "This time I'm going to make sure your minds will shatter."
"Not if I have to say anything!"
"Wha…" Severina saw a foot coming straight for her head before everything went black for her.
Both Sting and Natsu sighed in relief as the pain vanished. Sting, wanting to know what stopped Severina, looked up and couldn't believe what he saw.
Lucy was standing in front of them with an angry look on her face. Natsu grinned slightly. "Thanks Luce." Lucy just waved her hand saying that it was nothing.
Sting sighed as he looked down at the unconscious woman. "Let's tie her up before she wakes up. I don't want to deal with her again…"
"Yea good idea… hey, shouldn't someone check if Kera and Erza are okay?" Lucy asked glancing at the two boys. She was worried about them, that something might have happened or they were in trouble and needed help. Their opponent wasn't exactly easy to deal with.
Sting glanced at the unconscious red head at their feet. "We'll deal with her first, make sure she doesn't do anything and then go look for them. Wouldn't help if she broke out and caused more trouble."
Back outside on the dead wasteland both Fairy Tail wizards were just lying on the ground not moving at all. Their bodies ached and they didn't want to move a single muscle. Well one person didn't want to.
"Kera…"
"Mh?"
"We have to get back."
"Mh…"
"You're not going to give me a real response are you?"
"Mh…"
"Yea probably should have expected it."
Erza groaned as she sat up. She glanced at the brunette beside her and sighed. They had to get back to the others and see if they needed help. There was still one more person to deal with and she wasn't easy either. She just hoped that they weren't having too much trouble.
A shuffle caught Erza's attention. Turning around she saw something headed straight towards her. She gasped as pain hit her chest before being blown back by something.
Kera heard the red head's cry of pain and quickly sat up, only for something to grab her neck and smash her to the ground again. She immediately went for whatever was choking her only to find out that it was an arm.
Opening her eyes she saw a very pissed off, not to mention badly injured Lucretia giving her a death glare while her eyes were glowing a bright red. "If I… don't get what I want. Neither will you." She sneered.
The brunette's eyes went wide as pain flew through her body. She opened her mouth to scream but it was just too much, so much that she couldn't scream. No sound escaped her mouth.
Lucretia grinned as she watched the life slowly drain from her opponent's body. "Death Incarnate, with this… everything I touch dies." She said chuckling.
Kera's eyes suddenly flashed a bright gold color. Surprising Lucretia the brunette grabbed her arm tightly. Lucretia gritted her teeth. She wouldn't… when the woman felt her arm heat up a flicker of fear past her. She wouldn't…
The brunette glared at her, her eyes turning into slits. She wouldn't… she wouldn't… Lucretia thought fear passing through her eyes. She wouldn't sacrifice herself just to… to get rid of me!?
The black haired woman simply saw Kera's golden eyes that were now slits. Something passed Kera's eyes that Lucretia noticed and she couldn't believe it. She actually looked determined at what she was doing.
Lucretia gritted her teeth as she felt the heat radiating through her body. Kera was burning her alive. If she didn't let go, she might actually succeed. Lucretia glanced down at her hand around the brunette's neck. I can survive this! She'll die before she kills me! She had to hold in a scream this time as she felt her body being burned. Gritting her teeth she glared down at the brunette again. A moment passed between the two before Lucretia screamed out. "DAMN IT!"
The mad woman pulled back her arm before her body exploded by the heat. Kera let out a gasp, breathing in the desperate air she needed. The two women were on the ground trying to catch their breath.
Kera turned around leaning on her arms and legs, coughing slightly. She glanced to the side and saw Lucretia on her hands and knees as well. She looked defeated herself. Both of them were mostly out of it.
"Kera!" The brunette felt a pair of hands on her shoulder. Turning her head she saw Erza by her side. She smiled softly. "I'm good… I think…" Kera held her chest slightly. "Hurt like hell."
"You…"
Both wizards turned around seeing Lucretia stumbling to her feet. Kera groaned slightly seeing her stand up again. This was a pain… why couldn't she just… leave them alone?
The black haired woman gritted her teeth. "I will not let you defeat me! Especially you! A pathetic Dragon and a damn Fairy!" She shouted.
Kera glared at her. You can insult her all you want, but never insult her friends, especially in front of her. With the remaining strength she had in her body the Dragon Slayer got back to her feet and slammed herself into Lucretia. The two hit the ground in a pile of mess.
The brunette quickly punched Lucretia in the face. "Don't!" Another punch. "Insult!" Another punch. "My sister!" She shouted before delivering another punch.
Lucretia delivered a sneaky punch into Kera's stomach stopping her assault of punches. Kera gasped in pain before being thrown to the ground. Again, for a while, no one moved. They were literally all out of magic and all they could do is send punches that took almost everything they had left.
Groaning, Lucretia tried sitting up, but as she did she saw something running straight towards her. She let out a grunt as she felt a foot connecting with her chest, sending her tumbling back. She hit the ground, but before she could get back up swords were stabbed into her shirt to the ground, stopping her. Looking up she was locking eyes with the red headed Requip Mage.
"You can resist all you want." Erza spoke her eyes narrowing down. "But you won't get away here. After your battle I have more magic energy inside of me than you do and I can easily stop you from doing anything."
Lucretia growled but knew she was right. She hated to admit it but she was defeated. She really hated it…"So kill me for gods sake." She sneered. "Get it over with."
Erza glared at her. "I'm not going to kill you." She glanced at Kera who was giving her a smile. "And neither will Kera."
"Then what are you going to do with me! You can't just simply leave me like this." Lucretia shouted at her. For some reason she wanted to rather end her life than be left like this. Erza frowned. "We're bringing you to the council."
Lucretia snorted. "So jail."
"At least there you can think about what you were doing." Erza simply stated. With that she turned her attention back to Kera who was still lying on the ground.
Kera saw her and sighed. "I still can't move…"
A smile formed on Erza's lips before she shook her head. She headed towards Kera and hoisted her up, putting an arm around her shoulder. "Come on, let's get back."
"Thanks." Kera suddenly muttered on their way back to the castle. Erza gave her a confused look. "For what?"
"For not giving up on me." Kera gave her a small grin and Erza just smiled at her. She put her head against hers slightly. "You know I'll never give up on you. Like you said, we're sisters and we made a promise to be there for each other."
"But still… thank you." Kera told her. "A lot of people would have just let me become this monster. You and the others though didn't give up on me."
Erza smirked. "Well that's what family does. At least Fairy Tail."
"Guys you're okay!"
"Oh god Kera! Are you alright!?"
"Boy the two of you look like hell."
The wizards of Fairy Tail all reunited after dealing with both evil women. They were bruised and battered, some injured worse than others but they're will still stood strong.
Kera smiled as she saw her friend bicker over her and Erza's well being. She missed this, she really did. After a year she completely forgot how it felt to have your friends around you. She was occupied with so many things. Also she had no idea that part of her soul was gone.
Lucy lunged at her and pulled the brunette into a tight hug. Kera hissed in pain but even she didn't care about that. She put her arms around the blonde as well enjoying the hug. "We missed you so much!" Lucy said and Kera laughed. "Believe me I noticed."
The two parted and that's when Wendy decided to hug her. Kera stumbled back slightly but caught the little girl. "I'm so glad you're alright!"
"It's alright Wendy. You're the one who didn't give up on me." She told her.
Gray smirked slightly. "Great reunion and all but shouldn't we… you know deal with the problem at hand? We have two evil and dangerous wizards here. What are we going to do with them?"
"We're going to send them to the council. They can deal with these two." Erza explained. "But I think it's time we headed back home." She said giving everyone a smile which everyone caught on, knowing exactly what she meant.
Kera on the other hand was confused. "Huh? Home? Where's that?"
Natsu grinned. "Well Magnolia of course! We're going back to Fairy Tail!"
"But you said that place was destroyed! Master disbanded the guild!" Kera shot back. Why would they go back? Unless…
Sting put an arm around her. "Didn't you hear? Fairy Tail is coming back."
Kera chuckled. "Of course. I'm an idiot believing that it was the end for our guild. We're just too stubborn."
"Are we going to ignore the fact that Kera actually turned into a Dragon?" Juvia asked from the side. The others simply chuckled at that. Of course no one had a hunch of an idea of how that was even possible.
That's why when everyone turned their heads to the brunette, Kera looked a little startled. "What? I practiced a lot. And it takes a hell out of me. I may be able to turn into a Dragon for a few minutes but that's that. It saps my magic like that." She said snipping her fingers.
"That stinks…" Natsu muttered. "It would be awesome if you could turn into a Dragon and just plow your enemies! Breathe fire and kill them with just a flick of your hands, or eat them and…"
"Natsu!" Kera yelled at him. "I'm not sadistic! Also I wouldn't eat those dirty scumbags!" She shouted, but stumbled. Sting had caught her before she had hit the ground.
Erza smirked as she saw her little sister blush. It was actually cute. She remembered while they were fighting Lucretia that Sting was telling her that he actually liked her and that he was kind of asking her permission to date her. Of course she didn't give him an answer yet, so she still could had some fun with him.
"Come on, let's drop these two to the council and head back." Gray said motioning to the two tied up women who were struggling to get out.
Lucretia gritted her teeth as she struggled with the chains on her. "Damn these shackles…" she muttered. At one point she turned her head to Severina. "Can't you do anything to get us out of these damn things!?"
"I'm sorry but these shackles are made out of magic sealing ore. My magic doesn't work!" She snapped.
Lucretia growled. "Don't you dare snap at me!"
"Well news flash! You can't do shit now!"
The two women glared at each other, energy spikes emerging between them. If they weren't tied up they probably would have gone at each other's throats.
"I'm going to kill myself but do we have any transportation back? I can't… walk… I'm just too out of it." Kera muttered.
"You…" Erza started as she pointed at the brunette. "Are getting patched up as are the rest of us who got seriously injured."
Kera groaned but when Erza poked her in the side she hissed out in pain. Sting gave her a worried look. "Maybe you should get patched up and let Wendy check you over."
"I'm fin…agh! Stop that!" She yelled while glaring at the red head beside her who had poked into her side yet again. Erza just raised an eyebrow at her as if she was saying 'I can do this all day.'
Kera glared at her but then sighed while rolling her eyes. "Fine, I'll get myself patched up. Geez…"
"I'll help." Wendy offered. The little girl and Sting brought Kera to the side and helped her get patched up. The others could also use some medical help. But the worst of them all needed help first and that was Kera. She took a lot of damage in her fights.
But there was still one question that bothered them… or more Erza.
What was their plan in the first place?
Well that's that. Hope you guys enjoyed it. I know it wasn't much, but I hope it was still good. Also don't forget to vote! Just go to my profile!
