Chapter Nine - Talk
"Lucy, the first five have been captured with minimal casualty," I nod with approval.
"Good work keep it up," I turn to look at my assembled Council members, "Where are the Slayers? They were here a second ago"
Outside amongst large cages prepared for Dragons, the Slayers had escaped following Wendy. She ran to a large white captive
"Wendy, what are you doing?" Laxus asked concerned with the blunette's frantic expression and fumbling with the lock.
"It's Grandeeny, she's calling to me," she gave up struggling with the lock and started hurling magic at the cage. It effectively woke the Dragon.
"AH!" Happy hide behind Natsu. The large fearsome eyes galred at the Slayers with confused intent. Any could have felt it's desire to kill them, but then the eyes greeted Wendy. All intent was lost.
"What?!" Wendy gasped.
"Wendy what is it?" Carla was getting worried now.
"I have to free you, I can't-" the Dragon shook it's head, "But …" Wendy's eyes filled with tears. She hugged Grandeeny before turning. The Dragon's eyes filled with the murderous intent from before.
The Slayers began to run after a crying Wendy.
"Wendy what happened?" Natsu asked.
"Grandeeny says that Acnologia is king. He is controlling them."
"What?!" Natsu shouted.
"Shhh!" Carla chided, "We can't have the others knowing that we can talk to a Dragon."
"What about Igneel!"
Laxus answered this one, "Igneel was the the previous King, right? I believe the rule goes that the old king is killed by the new King."
"Yes, Grandeeny told me it is up to us to find a Dragon who isn't under the influence of Acnologia. He will become the new King by killing Acnologia."
"That's impossible," Gajeel finally added.
"I know," Wendy sobbed, "We have no hope."
Carla froze, "We may have hope, all I see is a glimpse of Happiness. A small sliver in the future."
"Are you sure?" Laxus asked, but the doors burst open.
"There you are!" Cana shouted, "Come on, I didn't get drunk yesterday to not do anything today. Not to mention Lucy is pissed, but she's always pissed. She wants you guys to talk to the Dragons for her to see if we can find-"
"No," Wendy said calmly.
"Wendy, I know you think these creatures were your friends, but they aren't anymore. We can't let them win; they will kill us all. Do you want that to happen?"
The younger blunette stared at a wall and squeezed Carla to her flat chest, "We won't do it." Her reply was stony and Cana's eyes widened.
"What?" she spluttered.
"You heard her, we aren't talking to the Dragons for you," Gajeel spoke again. He turned back to their room leaving the other Slayers to follow
A/N: I'm so sorry that this is late. I do have excuses that do involve death, so don't push me a bout it.
I really want to thank you for reading. This story s a bit of a struggle for me to wire because it is very different from my typical style. AS well as the fact my plan no longer matches up with my current take, but not too different as to worry.
Disclaimer: I, GoldenOwls, solemnly swear I am up to no good, but this does not affect that if I do or do not own Fairy Tail and Harry Potter. I do not own any of th aforementioned franchises.
