It Has To Be You

"I'll provide back-up!" Wendy told them and Frea felt Wendy's magic wrap around her. "Vernier!"
At once, Frea felt light as a feather as she floated off the ground a little, wrapped in a silver version on Wendy's Magic. She smirked and dashed forward with Natsu and Gajeel. Frea curled her fingers and her magic wrapped around them,
"Energy Dragon Claws!" She growled as she lashed out at the Dorma Anim, dodging in between Gajeel and Natsu as they threw their own attacks at the metal Dragon. Frea curled the fingers on both her hands and lashed down in an X formation, her claws left shallow scratches on the metal.
"My attacks are hardly doing anything!" Natsu hissed.
"Mine too." Gajeel muttered.
"Power of the stout arms that tear heaven..." Frea glanced back at Wendy as the small Dragon Slayer murmured the words and raised a hand into the air above her, a Magic Circle appearing. "Arms!" Wendy shouted and silver Magic flared up around Frea. Frea clenched a fist and smiled, "That will make your attacks stronger." Wendy explained and Natsu and Gajeel smirked, before rushing off again.
"I really do like your Magic Wendy." Frea told her and smiled widely. Wendy smiled, but Frea knew that the small Mage didn't exactly know what she meant. Frea liked Wendy's Magic because of the way it felt, it felt light... pure almost. And she could sense a very strong good nature coming from it. Frea ran forward and jumped toward the Dorma Anim, spreading both arms out to her sides and letting her Magic surround them. "Energy Dragon Wing Attack!" Frea yelled and spun in air, her arms slashing at the metal and leaving deep scratches in it.
Frea's feet pressed against the metal as she bent her knees and pushed back, flipping and landing on the ground neatly. She was immediately hit by the Dorma Anim as soon as she landed though, and she grunted in pain as she was thrown away and landed on the ground hard, sliding back in the rubble. Damn it... what hit me?
She pushed herself to her feet and winced a little, "Dragon Rider Missiles!" Frea's head snapped up as she heard the King yell the name and Natsu shouted out Wendy's name. Wendy cast Vernier on herself, and started to move out of the way of the oncoming Missiles, only to get her foot caught in the rubble, and the small mage fell to the ground.
"Wendy!" Natsu yelled as he appeared in front of the Sky Dragon and easily destroyed the Missiles heading for her.
"Exploding Dragon Rider Missiles!" The King growled and more were sent toward Natsu and Wendy. Frea had to look away from the pair as some of the Missiles were headed her way.
"Energy Shield!" Frea growled as she crossed her arms out in front of her and the Missiles exploded as they hit her Magic, causing her to flinch a little. Her head snapped in the direction of Natsu and Wendy when a very loud boom reached her ears and Wendy gasped. Natsu had been caught in the explosion of the Missiles, and Frea smiled a little as he ate the flames, and she glanced toward Dorma Anim to see Gajeel chowing down on its tail. Frea let out a sigh as her stomach rumbled, and she sweatdropped.
No fair...That just makes me hungrier... she thought sadly.
"Tch... I Shall Drain all of your fighting spirits!" The King yelled and Frea stiffened when she felt the surrounding Energy of the world around them shift, and the air turned black as the Magic Energy around them in the earth was sucked in toward Dorma Anim. She self-consciously took a step back as the Dorma Anim turned black and started to radiate with an Extreme amount of Magic Power. "All of your Magic Power will be mine!" The King snarled.
"You cant take our Magic Power!" Natsu snapped and ran toward Dorma Anim.
"It's not yours to take!" Gajeel yelled as he too ran toward Dorma Anim. Frea narrowed her eyes and focused a very heavy and concentrated amount on her Magic around two of her Fingers on her right hand, before rushing forward. She had a feeling she would need this spell later...
No One's POV
All four Dragon Slayers were blown backwards as they landed hard. The King laughed at them, "Impressive Dragons! Every Time you get knocked down, you get back up! Your Magic Power is incredible, but as infinite as it may be, once its gone it takes time to regenerate, no?" The King asked and laughed some more. All Dragon Slayers were trying to stand back up, and all of them were trembling with the effort. Their attempt at combining their four breath attacks had failed.
"Stay down and let your Magic Power be mine!"
"No..." Natsu hissed as he struggled to sit up. "I will not stay down!" The young Fire Dragon got to his feet and swayed a bit. "I'm standing right here, come at me!" Natsu yelled. Dorma Anim raised its foot and came toward Natsu, who caught it and was forced to his knees.
"What are you gonna do without Magic Power...!?" Gajeel snapped at him.
"I'll take some from tomorrow." Natsu growled. "Don't give up! It ain't over yet!" The ground under Natsu's feet splintered. Frea, Gajeel and Wendy started to push themselves up.
"Don't underestimate a Dragon Slayer!"
Natsu stood up and threw Dorma Anim away. All at once, Gajeel had gotten to his feet and tore his Iron Club through the foot of Dorma Anim.
"Salamander!" Gajeel yelled at the Fire Dragon. "Get him, it has to be you!"
Frea had gotten to her feet too, her head was low as she panted and her hair had fallen out of its bun, so it cast a shadow across her face. Gajeel's eyes went wide and the metal Dragon's arms swung down, heading straight for him.
"Energy Chains!"
Dorma Anim's arms were stopped as silver Chains made from magic wrapped around both arms, and the chains were held on to by Frea, who wrapped her arms around the Magic more as she dug her feet into the ground and held the chains tight. Dorma Anim struggled against her chains but Frea bared her fangs and dug her feet in harder.
"Go Natsu!" Frea snapped at him.
"Wendy!" Natsu yelled. "Send your Roar at me!" Natsu ordered. Wendy stared up at him in shock, "Stand up!" Natsu yelled and Wendy struggled to her feet. Gajeel and Frea were slowly being pulled against, as Gajeel grunted with the effort of keeping the metal armor pinned, and Frea's feet had started to tear trenches into the ground as she was pulled forward along with her Magic Chains.
"Roar of the..." Wendy gasped as she sucked in air, facing the ground. "Sky Dragon!" Wendy yelled and her tornado of spinning Air magic was sent toward Natsu. Natsu landed in the middle of her roar, and he spun around as he lit his arms on fire.
"Sword Edge of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu roared as he shot out toward Dorma Anim at an amazing speed thanks to Wendy's Roar. Natsu tore through the middle of Dorman Anim in a flurry of flames, and he came out the other side with the King in his grasp.
Gajeel jumped away from the empty armor as he released it, and Frea's arms dropped to her sides as the chains disappeared. Frea, Wendy and Gajeel fell to the ground as they sat amongst the rubble and panted. Natsu landed on the ground with the king, and the Fire Dragon slowly pushed himself up.
Frea's POV
Frea breathed in deeply as she tried to steady her breathing, and she stifled a wince. Her whole body hurt, and she had almost no Magic Energy left. She had been right about needing her spell earlier. She had managed to push her Magic through into the metal despite its anti-magic properties, and when she had needed to, was able to create Chain's made from her Magic and hold on to Dorma Anim, in order to limit the machine's movements further.
She glanced over at the King who was staring at them as if they weren't human, a very horrified look on his face.
King's POV
Faust trembled as he gazed upon the four Dragon Slayer's in front of him, and his eyes widened at what he saw. Behind each one of them, stood a giant dragon.
Behind the Fire Dragon Slayer, a fiery red Dragon with its jaws parted to reveal rows of pointed teeth, power radiating from the source.
Behind the Iron Dragon Slayer, a Massive Dark Dragon that shone and glinted, its skin as smooth as metal, looking his way with utter rage.
Behind the Sky Dragon Slayer, a Dragon with white scales that were long and blue eyes, it looked at him with cold fury.
Behind the Energy Dragon Slayer, a opalescent dragon with a silver underbelly and horns jutting from the side of its head, and deep purple eyes, with its head held high as it stared at him calmly.
Faust took a step back from the creatures, sweat pouring down his face before his mind went dark and he fell over.
Frea's POV
Frea narrowed her eyes at the King's horrified expression, before he fell over as he passed out.
"Haha! We got him guys! We Beat the king!" Natsu called out to them and Frea glanced his way, and seeing that toothy grin on his face, she couldn't help but smile with him. Frea slowly got to her feet and brushed off her clothes, which surprisingly with all the fighting, hadn't been destroyed as much as she would have thought. She approached Natsu slowly with a slight limp, and Wendy and Gajeel followed her not long after she reached the Fire Dragon.
"We did it!" Wendy smiled and Gajeel smirked.
"Good job guys." Frea murmured as she gave them all a genuine smile. "You did great!" She told them. Wendy blushed at the praise, and Natsu smiled back while Gajeel looked rather surprised she had told him he did a good job. They all stumbled and steadied themselves as the ground shook and they exchanged glances.
"What was that?" Natsu asked.
"Reinforcements?" Wendy suggested with slight worry in her voice.
"No way... I'm completely out of Magic Energy now!" Gajeel grumbled. They blinked in surprise as yellow light started to pour into the sky as it came out of the ground.
They all looked up at it, but Frea's eyes widened in shock, she knew what that was... but why was it doing that?
"What the heck is this?" Natsu asked as he waved a hand through the light.
"Its Magic Energy..." Frea murmured and they glanced her way in surprise. "All of the Magic Energy here in Edolas... its disappearing!" She hissed.
"Lets go you guys." Wendy said and they looked at her. "I wanna see if the people in the city are alright, we might need to help them!" Wendy explained and Natsu nodded.
"Alright, we'll head there Wendy." Natsu murmured. Frea looked away from the disappearing Magic Energy and narrowed her eyes, she knew Magic Energy was limited her in Edolas... but she hadn't been expecting it to disappear so quickly...
She let out a sigh as she began to limp after the other three, maybe she wasn't really surprised. The King had been using Dorma Anim to take away all the Magic Energy he wanted, and now it was his fault Edolas was losing all of its Magic Power. She frowned slightly when she noticed that the other three were limping too, and Gajeel was holding on to his arm gingerly.
She could handle being hurt herself, but it really did piss her off to see her Guild-mates get hurt.
Done! Just to let you know, I went back into chapter 16 and added details to what Chaitanya looks like, cause I felt like I hadn't put enough. Enjoy!
