Hyper blade vs Pandora's box: Sapphire vs Yami

Chapter 35 part 4

"Hey Yami! Are you going to attack or what?" Yami turned to face the leader of the guild who had remained calm and quit for the entire fight.

"Master?"

"Go ahead Yami. I'm going to go grab a cup of tea or something. Everyone else needs to leave now. Don't touch the boy sitting outside having a fit. You're as pretty as you ever were by the way," He directed the last sentence to Sapphire. He then got up and left for Makarov's office. Everyone else hurried out of the guild leaving the two wizards alone. Yami took off his hood showing off his long blonde hair.

"What does he mean again? Who is he?"

"I can't tell you unfortunately, because I do not know myself. ARC OF BALANCE: SPEED AND POWER!" He then began moving incredibly fast.

"If this works like you say it won't hurt a bit," Sapphire put a hand up to block. He got within a few centimeters with his punch. "REVERSE!" His punch connected and Sapphire was flung back and hit the wall. She got up immediately and ran towards the table where Yami was standing. She grabbed one of the tables and threw it at him. He stopped it with his magic.

"You'll have to be more creative than that," Sapphire suddenly came crashing through the table and hit Yami in the face sending him flying.

"How was that for creative?" Yami stood up after hitting the wall.

"ARC OF BALANCE! LEFT AND RIGHT!" Yami charged forward and to the left attacking from that direction. Sapphire tried punching him out of the air, but when she tried to hit him, she made the exact movements, but with her opposite hand and Yami got in a powerful strike again. Sapphire flew past a pillar and grabbed it spinning around it and flinging herself back towards Yami.

"Why do you persist? You have not a chance in the world of defeating me. Do you not grasp that I am in full control. ARC OF BALANCE! LEFT AND RIGHT!" Yami got ready for her to try to hit him and miss, but when she got close she smashed him with the correct hand she already had ready. Yami was slammed through the table he was standing on, the impact caused him to fly into the air, and Sapphire grabbed him by the feet and swung him around throwing him into the wall. He stood up.

"What happened? I recall casting my spell correctly."

"Well it's called adapting strategy. The same trick won't work twice. All I did was try to punch you with my opposite hand," Yami gritted his teeth. "EXCHANGE!" He swapped his own place with one of the chairs.

"It means nothing. You will have perished before you know all my strategies."

"We'll have to see about that," She flipped one of the tables so it would hit him and she started running towards Yami. "EXCHANGE!" the two switched places. Sapphire grabbed the table out of the air and swung it like a club hitting him with it.

"I do not understand. How do you adapt so quickly. You should be confused when we switch places," Sapphire threw the table she was holding. "EXCHANGE!" Yami switched places with the table. Sapphire came through the air ready to punch him. He dodged to the side and she hit the ground instead. Sapphire quickly spun and tried hitting him again. "ARC OF BALANCE: POWER AND SPEED!" Sapphire 'stopped' like all the other times. He stood in front of her and tried punching her. "POWER AND SPEED!" this time he used it on himself and Sapphire was released from his spell, but she also regained her momentum and hit Yami's hand. Due to his power having been enhanced 100 times over she was flung back with an incredible amount of force. She rearranged herself in the air so she would hit the wall feet first. "FULL SPRING FORCE!" she bounced off the wall like a spring with the same force she hit with. Yami was caught off guard. "POWER AND SPEED!" Sapphire slowed down, but since she was already traveling at 100 times her normal speed, she still hit him. Doing some simple math if she was traveling 100 times her speed and her power was increased 100 times, adding the fact it's Sapphire she hit Yami with over 10000 times a normal humans strength. He was smashed through wall right above the door and flew straight through it. Sapphire shook her hand in pain.

"Damn. I've never hit that hard before. I just might want to train speed magic. It could come in handy. But damn that hurt."

"You know what? I never thought Yami of all people would disappoint me, but in hindsight he wasn't the best person to pair with you," Sapphire turned around and saw the guilds master standing on the balcony right outside Makarov's office.

"You're next! Get down here!"

Sapphire POV.

He started slowly walking down the stairs towards me. For every step he took, an echo. I felt a sensation of fear. He had to have been one of the strongest wizards I've ever meet. He got down to the ground floor and started walking towards me. Unlike the others he was wearing a hoodie instead of a cape so you could actually see his body. All I could see was his mouth peaking out from the hood. There was something familiar about the way he walked. It wasn't something I remember from a long time ago. Something recent. But what? I put my hands up getting ready for anything he could throw at me. But he didn't do anything! He just kept walking. He was now close enough to hit, but I couldn't move. I was paralyzed by fear! For the first time in my life I was afraid. He walked right past me, but stopped by my side.

"Fear isn't the face you usually have. It doesn't suit you when you're afraid of me of all people," He continued walking. His voice was also so familiar. Who was he!? I finally regained control of my body and turned around trying to hit him. When I turned around, he was gone. I did a double take to see if he really was.

"You got nervous when you saw me. So did I when I saw you after such a long time," He said from right behind me. I turned around again and was staring right at him. I could smell him. He even smelled familiar.

"Who… are you?"

"Who cares? It won't matter when your dead anyway," He jumped backwards. "CHAOS DRAGON FLUX PISTON!" His arm changed into a deep dark purple rod and he fired it at me. I couldn't move my feet to dodge I was still too afraid of him. "GLASS DRAGON PISTON!" A giant pillar of glass came from the door behind me and hit the purple rod coming straight at me. It was just enough to redirect the attack away from me and he missed.

"LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BASTARD!" I turned around to see Jack standing in the door with his arm extended into his piston.

"Stay out of this. I'll be done with her in a moment."

Jack POV.

"OH YEAH! Tough luck cause I really want to fight yo… argh," When I looked at him the image of my home burning returned and I fell on one knee. Sapphire ran over to me to help me up. It was him!

"Why? Why me? Why would you do that?"

"I guess you could say. I just felt like it," Everything snapped right there.

"Sapphire. Please leave. Go get help. Fairy hills or something. Please," she nodded and ran out of there.

"Felt like it! FELT LIKE IT! You burned down my home, killing my entire family in the process, because you elt like it. GLASS DRAGON ROAR!" I blasted my roar at full power. "CHAOS DRAGON ROAR!" He did the same and we were evenly matched.

"Here something for you to consider. What if your house wasn't burned down? What if your family weren't dead? Where would you be?"

"I'd be with them! Talking! Laughing! Being happy! But you took that away from me! GLASS DRAGON DUAL PISTONS!" I shot my hands at him. "CHAOS DRAGON DARK MATTER SHELL!" On his back and arms materialized a shell made from the dark purple substance. He deflected both of my attacks.

"You're right. You would be with them. But where wouldn't you be? Who wouldn't you know? What wouldn't you be able to do? Let me answer that for you. You wouldn't be a member of Fairy Tail. You wouldn't know Sapphire, Zeke, everyone at Fairy Tail and you probably couldn't even use magic. You'd still be a little mama's boy and not the powerful wizard you are," He… he was right. I've gained so many lifelong friends ever since my family died.

"That doesn't make it right! Why would YOU care if I survived! Why not just kill me too! GLASS DRAGON STAMP!" I fired my foot at him. "CHAOS DRAGON FLUX STAMP!" His foot changed to the same shape and color of his flux piston attack and he kicked at me. The two attacks hit each other at a perfect angle and again we were evenly matched.

"This is why," He pulled back his hood and a black set of backwards spiked hair popped out. A yellow tuft of hair went out from the left side of his forehead and it darted across to the other side. He had green-ish blue eyes.

"Tha… that can't be. No way. You… you… you look just like…"
