(Time Skip~Next Week~In The Morning)
Crystal walks down the street with Kyatto behind her and Sting holding her hand. (A/N: For the sake of me and my fanfiction, Sting is not the current guild master of Sabertooth) Before entering the Fairy Tail guild hall, Sting faces Crystal.
"You can beat him Crystal. I know you can, but I just ask that you don't get hurt, okay?" Sting pleads.
"I won't get hurt Sting. I've trained with you all week. It's just...I don't think I can beat him..." Crystal replies softly, looking down. Sting puts his finger under her chin and lifts her head up. He kisses her deeply, with encouragement. She kisses back, and Sting pulls away with their foreheads touching.
"I know you can beat him. Just believe, Crystal. You have an advantage. A dragon taught you and put a lacrima inside of you. I know you can, Crystal, because you're the strongest, smartest, and bravest girl I know. Please have faith," Sting says, and tears stings in the back of Crystal's eyes. She smiles and nods, and Sting hugs her, and Crystal hugs back. He says his goodbye and walks back to Sabertooth while Crystal walks in with Kyatto following. Crsytal looks around and notices that Laxus hasn't arrived yet, so she decides to hang out with the other dragon slayers.
"Hey Crsytal! You ready to fight Laxus?" Natsu asks.
"Hey Natsu, and of course I am. I trained with Sting all week," Crystal answers.
"Good luck, Ms. Crystal," Wendy says shyly.
"Thanks Wendy. I appreciate it," Crystal replies, smiling.
"Natsu couldn't beat 'em so be careful," Gajeel chimes in.
"I haven't fought against Laxus, but I've seen him fight. I encourage you to be prepared for anything," Yuki adds.
"Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'm so glad to have friends here!" Crystal replies happily. She smiles as everyone responds with 'that's what friends do.' Suddenly, the door swings open, and Laxus walks into the guild.
"You ready, Crystal?" He asks, his voice booming, and Crystal stands up.
"Of course I am," She answers.
(Time Skip~15 Minutes Later)
Everyone created a ring around Laxus and Crystal in the park. This is where they are battling it out. Crystal takes deep breaths, showing no fear, and Laxus stands there, expressionless. Bravely, Crystal charges at Laxus with speed. As she approaches, Laxus slams his fist down. Somehow, Crystal manages to dodge his strike and uppercuts him with her arm a ruby club. She back flips, kicking him under the jaw and lands on her feet a few meters away. Laxus just shakes his head vigorously, trying to shake the light pain away. Some of the crowd was cheering on Crystal and others were cheering for Laxus.
"Lightning Dragon Roar!" Lightning is shot from Laxus's mouth.
"Gem Dragon Roar!" Shards of gem spirals out of Crystal's mouth to meet the lightning. The lightning overpowers Crystal's roar, and lightning hits Crystal, sending her on the ground. She screams out in pain from the lightning before it dissolves. Panting heavily, Crystal stands up weakly. People cheer on for Laxus, and Crystal stands there bruised.
"Secret Arts! Strength Stones!" Crystal shouts, outstretching her arms to the sides, and a rainbow colored stone emerges from the ground. The crowd gasps as she closes her eyes, and Crystal feels energized and restored as energy flows from the gem into her. Crystal opens her eyes, and they now look like gems. Laxus throws off his jacket, getting serious.
"Resounding through the air, the roar of thunder, plunge from the heavens and reap destruction!" Laxus yells as he pumps his fist into the air. A large, bright thunder bolt strikes down on Crystal, and she barely dodges it. She closes her eyes from the blindness, and Laxus attacks her. He punches her in the face, and the sound of bones cracking can be heard. A thick sheet of topaz covers Crystal's body, making Laxus's punch useless. Even though Crystal flew back, Laxus's knuckles broke from the impact. (A/N: If you didn't know, this is referring to Newton's 3rd law of force and motion. Laxus is receiving the same amount of force he used when he punched Crystal, thus the broken knuckles.) Crystal stands up, panting slightly as the topaz fades.
"Gem Drive," Crystal whispers as purple energy begins to emanate from Crystal. As gem-like scales start to cover her body, she gets into a battle stance, with her arms crossed forward.
"Advanced Secret Arts! Rose Quartz Demon Sword and Clear Quartz Demon Scythe Dance!" One of Crystal's arms becomes a rose quartz sword blade and the other becomes a clear quartz scythe blade. Before Laxus could react, Crystal charges and strikes him many times, dancing freely. The crowd gasps again, and Crystal jumps back and her arms turn to normal. After the dust clears, Laxus is still standing. Crystal stares at him in shock, and her jaw drops. He was bruised, not badly, but not lightly either.
"I haven't fought like this in a long time. You're pretty good. But now its my turn," Laxus says. Crystal looks around, almost out of magic energy. 'Gems. Where are gems?' Crystal thinks, then focuses on Laxus again. She kept a poker face as she summons a somewhat large ruby on the ground behind Laxus. During her training with Sting, she practiced summoning gemstones from underground, but she doesn't always get them where she wants them. "Lightning Dragon Breakdown Fist!" A large fist made of lightning is made in front of Laxus, and he launches it at Crystal. She dodge rolls to the side, scrambles to her feet, and dashes behind Laxus. Swiftly, she picks up the ruby and runs on the other side of him, making Laxus spin in a circle. As Crystal stands a few meters away, she begins to eat the ruby.
"I haven't had a gem this tasty in a long time," She says, after chewing. She wipes the corner of her mouth, and gets into a battle stance. "As Natsu would say, I'm fired up! Gem Dragon Sapphire Sword!" One of Crystal's arms transforms into a sword made of clear, sparkly sapphire. She charges at Laxus, who turns into a spark of lightning and dodges Crystal's attack. He whips around Crystal and attacks multiple times. She falls to her knees, and Laxus stops his onslaught. As he continues to jump around, Crystal stands up.
"Gem Dragon Roar!" Gems and stones shoot out at Laxus, but he dodges effortlessly. Laxus charges at Crystal and hits her downward. In the crater, after the dust clears, Crystal...
(A/N: So, what I have done is a cliffhanger :D I decided that I want to write two endings for the fight: Laxus wins or Crystal wins, and then the aftermath. You will get them at the same time, so don't worry about me writing the one you don't want to happen and have to wait longer. Please comment any suggestions because I need them. I want my writing to improve :D)
