Chapter 12: Last Recuit
Gajeel and Pantherlily couldn't help but to join Natsu's group to recruit the two remaining dragon slayers. Once everyone got onto the train to get to the city where the Sabretooth Guild is located. Let's just hope they're just as eager as everyone else. Wendy spot Gajeel with a queasy look on his. "Let me guess. Motion Sickness?" She asks the little black cat. Pantherlily crosses his arms in a disappointed look. "Afraid so. And after all this time, he wouldn't want to ride anything." He explains Gajeel's refusal. Wendy understand where this is going. "Well. At least I still have my troia spell to keep you less queesy." She said as she places her hands in front of Gajeel as blue glow come out of the little girl's hands. The crew get onto the train and head towards the Sabretooth Guild.
It took the train a few hours to make it to its destination where the Sabretooth is. Once off, Lyon decides to stay. "What's up, Lyon? Aren't you coming?" Gray asks his rival. Lyon shakes his head. "No. This is something that you're best suited for this journey. You have my regards." He said before the doors close and the train leaves the station. Happy flies up to him. "I think he's out of your league." He comments at the Ice devil wizard. Gray shrugs his shoulders. "Pretty much." He agrees as they leave the station. Natsu, and Gajeel are not really too pleased but they have to put their pride to the side to get the two hybrid dragons interesed. "Well, should we head out?" Lucy asks as she walks up ahead. Natsu sighs and catches up with her. "You seem excited about going there." He comments about her sudden excitement. Lucy hold her smile. "I am. I haven't seen Yukino in a year so I need to know what she's been up to lately." She explains.
The group make it to the front door of the Sabretooth guildhall. The door opens up and out comes Yukino. "Oh Lucy. It's so good to see you." She smiles as she hugs her. Lucy couldn't help but hug back. "Same here." Yukino grabs Lucy's hand and leads her somewhere in the large building. Natsu uses his nose to pinpoint where Sting and Rogue are. "I smell that they're in the back of the guild." He tells his crew before rushes out towards the direction.
In the back of the guildhall, two guys are sparring against each other. On the sidelines two little exceeds observe their spar. The little maroon exceed in a blue vest is focus on his White Dragon Slayer, Sting. "I know that rogue will win." A tiny voice gets his attention. The other exceed is a green one in a pink frog costume. "Ha. Come on Frosche. We all know that Sting is the sepurior one." The maroon one counters back at Frosche. "That's what you think Lector." Frosche speaks so innocently. After their little quarrle, the two dragon slayers come up to them. "Why are you guys stopping?" Lector ask the blonde hair guy. "I smell Natsu is here." Sting said as he takes the towel that Lector hold out to him. "Not just him. Gajeel is here too." Rogue said as well as he copies Sting's actions. Frosche and Lector looked at each other. "If that's true. Then that means that Happy, and Pantherlily are here as well." Frosche smiles. "Don't count out the Sky Dragon slayer Wedny and her friend Carla." Lector adds the missing fact.
The door opens up and out comes Natsu with Happy flying beside him. "Hey you guys." He greets them. Gajeel, Gray, Pantherlily, Carla and Wendy come out after him. "Hello Rios." Gajeel smirks at Rogue. Rogue twitches his eye. "Oh so that's how it's gonna be." He cracks his knuckles. Gajeel keeps his smirk. "Looks like we can spar." He decides as he and Rogue go into the area where the previous spar was. Sting shakes his head. "Honestly, Rogue isn't liking what Gajeel calls him." Natsu nods to agree. "Gajeel and Rogue have a little history. Back before you guys were missing for seven years. So what brings you guys here anyway?" Sting asks as he leans onto the bar of the fence. Natsu rolls up his sleeve to show Sting the mark. Sting Widens his eyes in amazement. "So what's that?" He asks. Natsu turns at the sparring session between Gajeel and Rogue. "Rogue should see this too." Natsu seggusted. Sting nods as he turns to his partner. "Hey Rogue come here!" He shouts. Rogue dodges another of Gajeel's Iron Dragon club attacks and jumps up onto the patio where his partner is.
Rogue looks at Natsu's arm with the same reaction. "So what is it?" He asks Natsu. "Before I answer that question. Do you guys miss your dragons even though they manipulated your memories?" Natsu asks his question with curiosity. Rogue and Sting looked at each other. Thinking thoroughly about what Natsu asked them. "Pretty much. I just couldn't forget for the reason they had to do it in the first place. Natsu smiles up his signature smirk. "What if I were to tell that we can see them again with this?" He shows the marked arm. Rogue and Sting widen their eyes. "Are you for real? Or are you just pulling our leg here?" Sting asks in suspision. Gajeel jumps onto the patio to roll up his sleeve to show the same mark on his arm. "No joke. Only us real dragon slayers bare this mark. This in no ordinary mark. This is a key to enter the dragon world. Draco Orbits." Natsu position his mark. "So what do you say? Wanna join?" He asks them with eagerness in his voice. Gajeel copies Natsu in front of Rogue.
"Go for it!" Lector hops onto Sting's shoulder. "I know how much you want to see Weisslogia." He encourages him. Frosche looks up to Rogue. "What about you Rogue?" Rogue looks down to his cute exceed in the frog costume. "I bet Skiadrum would be happy to see you too. I know they passed away. But it wouldn't hurt to meet them in their world where they went to." Rogue couldn't help but smile down to his. He picks him up. "Ok. We in" Rogue gives his answer. Sting smiles geniunely at Natsu. "Same here. So what do we do?" He asks Natsu.
Natsu smiles back. "Alright, all you need to do is get your arms to touch mine." He instructs them. Sting and Rogue don't hesitate and contacts their exposed arm and contact the arms. Upon the touch. Sting and Rogue feel a surge of energy flowing through their bodies. Soon enough the mark appears on their arms. "Thanks to the mark, we should be able to enter Draco Orbits." Natsu tells them. Lector and Frosche look at the new marks on their friends' arms. "Wow. That's amazing!" Wendy and Carla come out from inside the building. "Did they get the marks?" She asks Natsu. Natsu nods. "Alright. Since all of us have the mark. We should get going." The group make it to the front door where Lucy and Yukino are waiting for them.
"Is everyone ready?" Yukino asks them politely. "Yeah." Sting said as they all leave the Sabretooth guild.
