Duel of the dragons: day four: part 2

Chapter 17 part 2

I woke up in my hospital bed. To my left was Shen resting. To my left was Silver and that boy she was always with.

"Good evening Jack. Are you feeling all right? I must say that was quite the match."

"Yeah you can say that again. Have you seen Sapphire today?" Silver shook her head.

"I cannot say that I have. However, I am sure that she witnessed your fight if that is what you are concerned about," I couldn't help but look at the boy standing next to her. He never said anything. His arm was broken with a bandage. He noticed I was staring at him.

"Oh my apologies. I'm Alexander. I would shake your hand but um… it's kind of broken. Silver insisted that she would nurse me back to full health. I don't know why. I mean, I tried to kill her."

"That is only because it was never my intension to break every bone in your body. You should be thankful that you are even alive right now," Silver looked at him.

"Sorry honey. Just so, you know I'm very thankful for what you did. I mean taking me away from that horrible guild. I wanted to leave for the longest time but Cain wouldn't allow it," my eyes shot open. This guy had been a part of Greed Eagle.

"Jack please. Do not be alarmed he is not a bad person. Right now you need to rest," I closed my eyes and as I fell asleep.

Back at the arena the tournament was proceeding.

"And now ladies and gentlemen it's time for our last fight of the semifinals. Natsu of Fairy Tail vs Drake of Dragons Wrath," Natsu got to the dining hall but there was no sign of Drake anywhere. Natsu was about to take his place in the arena when suddenly someone came flying through a mountain. A voice came from inside the hole in the mountain.

"You're not getting off that easy, I never did trust you very much," Drake came through the hole. "SMOKE DRAGON ROAR!" he fired his roar at the figure on the ground. The figure stood up. "BLOOD DRAGON ROAR!" the two attacks collided and there was a huge explosion.

"Calm down Drake I just wanted to have some fun," Zane laughed his creepy laugh. Drake gritted his teeth. "SMOKE DRAGON GAS BLAST!" Drake shot his hand off his arm, which was now connected to his arm by a stream of smoke. "BLOOD DRAGON VAMPIRE CLAW!" their attacks collided once again. Drake landed in front of Zane. "I said you shouldn't hurt her. I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ZANE. SMOKE DRAGON SUFFOCATE STRIKE!" Zane jumped back just in time. Just then the guards came running to break up the fight. "STAY OUT OF THIS! SMOKE DRAGON ROAR!" Drake was absolutely furious. All the guards were knocked out with one attack.

"Drake if you keep this up I will have no choice but to disqualify you," the announcer threatened. Drake glared at him briefly. Then he looked back at his teammate. "DRAGON FORCE!"

"Whoa Drake buddy don't you think you're going a bit too far?"

"No Zane we're going back soon anyway. I might as well inflict as much pain on you as I can until then," Zane looked terrified. Drake's eyes started turning white and his body started admitting smoke. His White spiky hair started flowing upwards. "SMOKE DRAGON ROAR!" Drakes roar was over three times as large. Zane didn't have a chance to avoid. He was completely surrounded by the smoke. When the smoke disappeared there was a large shell of blood had concealed Zane. The shell disappeared. "Drake you need to calm down! BLOOD DRAGON ROAR!" Drake put his hand up in front of him and the stream of blood stopped when it collided with his hand.

"No I don't! The boss told you to kidnap the blonde girl and keep both of them SAFE until the tournament was over. Not hurt them!" as these words left Drakes mouth Natsu's eyes widened. What blond girl? Lucy? From my bed, I witnessed the whole thing. Hurt one of them! I immediately got out of my bed grabbing the glass of water on my bedside table. I drank the water and ate the glass. Right when I was about to leave someone grabbed my arm. It was Shen. He was sitting in the bed next to me.

"Don't do it. You will die, let Drake handle this," I looked at him and he wasn't even looking at me but at the screen. I could see the look of concern in his eyes. Was he really worried about MY friend? I decided to trust him and sat back down on the bed. Looking at the screen. Why? I have no idea. He just looked so… trustworthy. I watched as Drake beat the absolute crap out of Zane with his bare hands. There was nothing Zane could do put just take it.

"You STUPID!" Drake hit him in the face. "UNWORTHY!" another hit landed in his face. "SADISTIC!" This one landed in Zane's gut. "BASTARD!" Drake knocked Zane into the nearby mountain. "SMOKE DRAGON SUPREME MIST HOWL!" Drake fired a roar that was as big as Natsu's in his lightning flame mode. The mountain and everything visible behind it was completely gone. Except Zane who was lying on the ground, most likely dead. Drake didn't go out of his dragon force before Natsu came jumping at him from the stands. "LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON MODE! DRAGON SLAYER SERCET ART: CHRMSON LOTUS: EXPLODING LIGHTNING BLADE!" Drake turned to face Natsu and held his arms out, held his chin high and closed his eyes. "Come on full power. I deserve it for trusting him," Natsu's eyes widened. He stopped his attack and landed right in front him. He grabbed Drake by the shoulders and shook him. "WHERE IS SHE!? WHERE'S LUCY? TELL ME RIGHT NOW!" Drake opened his eyes and looked into Natsu's. "Sorry I can't do that. SMOKE DRAGON MIRAGE CLONE!" Natsu's arms went straight through Drake's body. He disappeared. Natsu looked around.

Meanwhile back at the hospital tent. I had gotten out of bed and I was walking around in circles. What should I do? I turned and looked at Shen who was just sitting in his bed meditating or something.

"Why would you tell Drake, not to tell Natsu where to find the girls?" Shen opened his eyes. He didn't say anything but instead he pointed to my pocket. I searched my pocket and found the lachrima he gave me before our match. Instead of the picture showing, Sapphire there was now a message. 'I have your friends. Bring as many dragon slayers as you want and come to this location. Prove your worth. Drake.' A map appeared when I had read the message. There was a big glowing spot on the map. Just then, Gajeel came through the door. He looked about ready to kill someone.

"Gajeel what's wrong?" I asked franticly getting ready to defend myself.

"Levy's gone!"

"She's what?" I turned to look at Shen who seemed unfazed by this information. I looked back at Gajeel.

"I think I might know where she…" Before I could finish Gajeel grabbed my west and shook me.

"Where? Tell me. I'm going to kill the guy that took her!" I showed him the lachrima. And explained the situation.

"So you're saying bunny girl and the chick you're always with are also there," he shot a glare at Shen.

"I'll deal with you later," He ran out of the room and I went after him. On the way ran into Natsu who said that Lucy was missing too. Cobra also came along because he couldn't hear Kinana anywhere. Sting and Rogue also joined since Yukino was also missing. I explained the situation. The six of us ran down the streets of Magnolia.

"Don't you think this is a bit overkill?" Rogue asked.

"Think about it Rogue. This guy is good enough to grab five members of the most powerful guild in Fiore, without anyone noticing until now. Even Cobra didn't hear anything. We can't take any chances with this guy," I answered. Rogue nodded.

"When I get my hands on that smoke guy I'm gonna kill him if he touched as much as a hair on shorty."

"I'm with you on that one Gajeel. If I hear him have one bad thought about Kinana he's dead."

"He'll regret ever messing with the great Sting and his partner," Natsu was completely silent and was focused on running. I looked at him as he ran beside me.

There was no way Dragons Wrath was getting away with kidnapping and possibly hurting five members of Fairy Tail!
