The battle begins: Greed Eagle vs. Team hyper-blade

Chapter 8

This was it. We were about to storm a heavily guarded fort. Just the four of us. I was the first to wake up, and I went to the hot spring to wash up even though I knew I would get dirty while fighting. It is just a nice feeling to be clean. I relaxed a little. While in the water, I heard someone coming so I hid myself behind some rocks. Could Greed Eagle really think about sending patrols into the forest? Then I heard it was two girls talking and giggling. That can only be Sapphire and Silver.

"So Sapphire, we have been friends for a long time, you know you can trust me, correct?" the girls started taking off their clothes so I looked away from where they were standing. I didn't want to seem like a pervert staring at girls.

"Yes of course I can trust you. I something wrong?"

"I will not tell anyone, but please tell me. What are your feelings about Jack? Because he clearly likes you."

"Well he's nice and all but he's not really my type, he's I too, for lack of better words, desperate and attached," I mentally face palmed myself. "But that might by my fault since I asked him the first night if he wanted to sleep over. I mean that was kind of out of pity, I mean he sleeps on the street otherwise," So I'm too desperate and attached huh. I'd just have to prove her wrong. By defeating as many goods as possible without Silvers help! To prove I don't need any of their help. Maybe I'd even get a shot at the leader if I was fast enough to beat Kai to it. I guess I could hope he runs into an elite. The rest of the girls' conversation didn't concern me. I just ran simulations in my head of the battle against the goons. According to Silver Greed Eagle had about five hundred member other than their leader so that was about five hundred goons to defeat. When I heard the girl's get out of the spring and walk away I got out and put on my clothes back on and I walked back and followed Silver as the girls split up to get into position for the attack. In less than ten minutes, I would be in my first real battle. To say the least I was… absolutely terrified. Silver got into position and I waited a little while before I joined her so it didn't look like I had been following her.

"Are you prepared for this?"

"As prepared as I'll ever be. I wish Zeke was here. He would love this!"

"Alright I will allow you to start the attack then," I took a deep breath. Here we go.

"Okay don't by shocked. GLASS DRAGON ROAR!" the roar penetrated the wall and made a big opening and an explosion when it hit a house on the other side. From the hole and up the wall collapsed.

"Dragon slayer magic. Interesting." I jumped through the wall of smoke. "GLASS DRAGON TALONS" I threw two blades of glass either side of me and they hit the rest of the goons that weren't hit by the crumbling wall.

"Do not celebrate yet more are coming." Silver informed. After a couple of seconds, a battalion of goons came running. "I've got these Jack," Silver got ready to launch an attack "GLASS DRAGON PISTON" I threw my arm at them and started running towards those who didn't get knocked out "GLASS DRAGON LANCE!" my arm became a long sharp lance of glass. I started cutting them down as if they were nothing. Meanwhile Silver was looking a little disappointed that I was hogging all the glory. When she noticed another group coming from the other side and there was no way I'd take those away from her. But wouldn't you know It a passed out goon came flying through the air followed by "GLASS DRAGON ROAR" I was going to take them all out by myself so Silver wouldn't get hurt and also to prove I wasn't attached or dependent on anyone! I was being overrun with goons but that was Irrelevant right now I just had to take all of them out. A red dot appeared on my head. I didn't see it because of all the goons I was busy disposing of. But this time Silver saved me as a bullet came flying through the air. Her hair came flying through the air and stopped the bullet about two meters away from my head. Silver looked around and spotted someone on a roof nearby.

"Jack I believe I see one of the elite you were talking about. I am going after him. You can take care of the goon's right."

"You got it just be careful, GLASS DRAGON ROAR," I mowed down another group of goons coming my way. This was going to take some time I could tell. "GLASS DRAGON PISTON," I fired it at some more of them then I heard some coming from the other side I lifted my piston arm up and smacked it down on the other side. I have to say this was much easier than I thought. I heard an explosion, and the first thought that crossed my mind was. SILVER! Then the sky darkened and the clouds disappeared.

"What the…"

Following Silver

Silver climbed the building using her hair like octopus tentacles. Then she started jumping across the rooftops. As the sniper spotted her, he stood up, put his rifle on his back, and started running away.

"Oh no! You do not run away from me, I need some action right about now," Silver jumped a little and her hair broke the fall so she was now running with her hair, which also got longer so she could run faster. The sniper turned his head to look at her and was shocked to see her catching up. He stopped running, took his sniper off his back, and fired a shot at Silver. "HAIR SHIELD," As she said that her hair got in the way of the shot and stopped the bullet. "HAIR BIND," Silvers hair got a lot longer and wrapped around the snipers arms and legs before he could get away containing him in a tight grip.

"Who are you people anyway?" the sniper asked.

"I am not obligated to answer your question elite squad member, But we are members of Fairy Tail."

"I see, I'm Alexander, Greed Eagles strategist, inventor, sniper… and bomb expert," a mischievous smirk went across his face. In a sudden moment of realization Silver looked down and saw explosives on the roof, they were standing on. They exploded, the roof collapsed, and Silver fell down through the building and threw Alexander. He landed on the next roof over and was ready again. Silvers hair broke the fall right before she landed.

"This could prove to be a challenge," she said and used her hair to stand up and start climbing to the top of the building again. As she got to the roof again she noticed that the sky turned dark and all the clouds vanished. Silver let a smile form on her lips.

"I see."

Meanwhile following Kai and Sapphire

"While we wait for the signal, let me ask you something Kai," they were waiting for me and Silver to bust through the wall and draw the goons' attention.

"What is it?"

"Do you think Jack will be alright?"

"Of course I irritated him just enough so he will do anything to prove how strong he is. Not to mention you and Silver provoked him as well."

"No we didn't!"

"It might not have been intentional but you did." The two wizards heard the sound of stone cracking and structures crumbling and so did the guards stationed because they left their post to go investigate.

"I guess that's our queue. Ladies first."

"Don't try to be something you're not. A gentlemen that is."

"Ouch!"

"Come on we need to get this done," Sapphire said and was already over the wall.

"Right." As the two of them climbed down and started sneaking to the city hall through the empty streets.

"Do you think they're alright?"

"They'd better be," as they crossed another street suddenly a giant hammer came crashing down from above. They both dodged out of the way in time. When the dust cleared there was someone standing holding the hammer. He was really tall maybe two and a half meters and almost just as wide. He was bald with his guildmark on top of his head. He held his stone war hammer in his right hand. It looked heavy and had what looked like a gust of wind on it.

"Who are you!?"

"My name is Bubba. Alexander said that this is where I should go if we were attacked. I didn't get it but I do now."

"Dammit so they knew our strategy!"

"Kai go on ahead I can take care of 200 pounds of Blubber here," Sapphire said cracking her knuckles.

"You got it just don't get killed," Kai said and started running away.

"Oh no you don't, I won't let you get away that easy!" Bubba jumped really high and was about to hit Kai right on the head with his hammer but Kai didn't even pay attention. Sapphire stepped in front of the hammer blow and blocked it with both hands and the street she was standing on cracked two meters out from her.

"Oi! Pay attention, I'm your opponent not him, what kind of magic do you use anyway?"

"I don't use magic."

"That makes things a lot easier for me," the two fighters broke contact and Bubba jumped back and got ready for another attack. He made a horizontal jump towards Sapphire getting his hammer ready for a strike from the side. However, before he could do anything Sapphire jumped forward did a stretched front flip and kicked him as hard as she could on the head smashing him into the ground. Before he got up again Sapphire retreated and was ready again. She heard an explosion.

"What was that!?"

After a couple of seconds, the sky turned night. Sapphire smirked.

Following Kai

He knew she would block the hit so he wasn't even going to bother stopping. He heard the impact and continued. When he was nearing the city hall, he felt a tiny shock in his back and he stopped to turn around and see what it was. He then heard noises that sounded like thunder. Then lightning struck him, he dropped to his knees in pain.

"Did you like my familiars attack," it was a girl speaking. Kai looked around to find the source of the voice. He saw her on a roof above him. It was a little girl. She had long orange hair set up in a ponytail. There was a little purple dragon-like creature flying around her.

"Let me guess you're one of the elite?"

"That's right the strongest of the three of us. I'm June, and this is my familiar, Sparky."

"A familiar? We don't see those very often. I guess you'll be my opponent for the time being. That's fine I needed a warmup anyway," she giggled like a little girl.

"You're funny, I like you."

"I don't have time for this, so let's make it quick," then came a large explosion.

"Looks like Alexander is at work," June said with a smile.

"Then I'll just have to end this faster so I can help his opponent," He held up his left hand and then took his glove off revealing a tattoo of a crescent moon his eyes started glowing. "PERFECT MIDNIGHT!"

This truly was going to be a showdown worthy of the name Fairy tail!
