Sara slept on the couch after what she had done while she spent her evening with Sting. She finally got Sting and Lector to sleep on the bed. Well, she did have to trick them. After she came back to Sting's house she immediately passed out on the couch while Sting cursed and complained but fell asleep on the bed. She stretched and sat up. It was still dark outside and this couch was really a pain. It wasn't as comfortable as it looked.
She smiled to herself as she realized Sting had slept on this dumb couch for a week straight without any complaint for her comfort. She looked at Sting's face, it looked so innocent. His breathing was even, chest rising and falling in a pattern. That's it she thought as she laid back on the couch and pulled the comforters to her chin. Then she started counting all the breaths that Sting took, granted that she was being like a creepy stalker but she continued on.
Sting snapped his eyes open as soon as she was fast asleep. He could tell that she was really sleeping instead of faking because of her even breathing. Sting stood up carefully, trying not to disturb his sleeping exceed. He walked over to the couch and picked her up without any effort and placed her on the bed. She didn't wake up but she muttered in her sleep and frowned. By this time Sting had gotten used to her sleep talking. Frankly speaking he found it very cute. Lector instantly curled next to her and she spooned him like a mother. Sting smiled at his best friend. Sting knew Lector loved him the most since he was Lector's best friend but the exceed had a very silly schoolboy crush on her, often siding with her during tedious arguments but he knew after what he saw that night, it only seemed fair for Lector to take her side and only wanting to make her smile.
Sting walked over to the couch and grabbed his pillow and comforter and placed them on the bed. He kept a safe amount of distance from Sara. Lector was in the middle separating them. He turned to his side and was facing her. A thousand thoughts crossed his mind but at last settled on the night he and Rogue had gone to rescue her. As Sting lay there reminiscing about her, sleep soon took over him.
Sting's morning usually began with a lot of back pain and curses because his new bed was way too small for him. A lot of groaning and more twenty minutes of sleep but as soon as his eyes would fall on the figure sleeping on his bed. Everything on his mind would go out the window, there she would be fast asleep occasionally tossing and smiling but today it was different.
Sting grumbled and fluttered his eyes open. The first thing he saw was the ceiling and he had no back pain. He turned around to see his companions but Sara wasn't here. Sting sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't hear the water running in his bathroom. There was no trace of her scent anywhere. He was panicking where did she go? Did she actually leave? Damn it he shouldn't have done what he did last night. He then heard the sound of a book closing, he looked over at Rogue sitting on the couch reading.
"Where is she?" he frantically asked his comrade who simply smiled. Rogue surely was in a cheery mood today, for him to smile was quite a rare thing.
"Good morning to you too Sting" he said as he looked pleased "she went out with Yukino to find a house. Frosch and Lector are both with them in case you were wondering."
Sting calmed down a little. At least Yukino was with her but then he realized she wasn't leaving. She was planning to stay. Stay with him, not only him but with the rest of the guild as well. Maybe that meant she would join Sabertooth as well. That would ensure her stay permanently. Sting jumped out of bed with a smile and rushed to the bathroom. Rogue looked at his friend and smiled, he really was a child. He shook his head and sighed, he grabbed his book and left Sting's room making his way to the guild.
"Orga's here" Dobengal announced as the large green haired man came into the guild hall. He sighed and asked the bar maid to pour him a strong drink. He gulped around four beers down before he settled down on a table next to Rufus who chuckled.
"Something funny?" Orga grumbled as he looked at Rufus, he was in a very pissy mood. He went on a very boring job and effortlessly got a generous reward. Orga was a man of competition, he liked opponents who were strong not weak fuck faces who couldn't even take a single bolt to the face. Ignoring Rufus, who was still smiling he started to look around for the other guild members.
He hadn't been present for a week. Where was his rather childish guild master with his literal shadow around him. Speaking of them where was Yukino? He could sure settle down for a good meal. Just then Sting came through the guild's office door followed by Rogue. Their exceeds Lector and Frosch weren't with them. Odd.
"Yo! It's been long Orga" his rather cheery guild master greeted him. Orga narrowed his eyes. Rufus snickered next to him while Rogue looked smug. Maybe they hadn't received the bill for all the damage he had caused in the job. Orga decided to play along.
"I take it you didn't receive the damage notice yet" Orga said as he rested his head on his hand, propped up by his elbow.
"Oh no! we did receive it! Don't worry a little damage won't hurt. Although destroying a bell tower is pretty fucking smooth" Sting laughed and commented. Orga was taken aback. He fucking destroyed a very important building in that town, there would be a lot of paperwork. Enough to make Sting cry but he was smiling. Orga finally snapped.
"Okay you shit faces! Spill! What crap joke did you cook up now?" Orga demanded as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"We have a new guild member" Rufus smiled and replied.
"Oh, is that so? If it's a hot chick care to introduce?" Orga insisted with a sly smirk.
"It's Sara Alkaev. I'm sure you've hea-" before Rogue could continue on
"Alkaev? Did you just fucking say Sara Alkaev? That brat!" Orga thundered as he slammed his fists on the table. Sting narrowed his eyes. He was getting annoyed. Did Orga know something that he didn't?
"Brat? I'm sorry do you know each other?" Rogue questioned but before Orga could answer the guild doors opened. Heads turned around, Frosch and Lector flew in first both chatting happily and then two feminine figures standing there came into view. They were both smiling as they entered the guild hall.
Sara was sporting a different attire. Sting's jaw nearly dropped to the floor as he saw her. Her attire consisted of light blue colored neo silk, off shoulder cropped pullover and regular black shorts, accompanied by black thigh high boots. Her long brown hair was in it's normal shape, starting from the scalp to her shoulder it was straight and then started forming soft curls that reached her back. It suited her. Sting blinked rapidly for a few seconds as his eyes landed on her breasts, of course a blush crept to his face as he remembered the night before when he had touched her but suddenly the atmosphere had changed.
There was dead silence around the Sabertooth guild. There was tension in the air. Orga glared at Sara very vengefully, Sara stared back rather blankly. Sting looked back and forth. Everyone was confused. It felt as if someone would be breathing their last breath if they spoke. Suddenly Sara smiled sweetly at the big man.
"Been long thunder god slayer! How are you?" she greeted him with pleasant wave and a rather cheeky smile. Orga rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth in annoyance.
"Brat! What brings you here? Has Mr. Alkaev thrown you away already?" Orga remarked as he looked at her in disgust. Sara didn't speak but looked away.
"He died"
"I-I'm sorry…" he trailed away. The news hit him like a bullet to the head. Yes Orga Nanagear did know of Stephen Alkaev. A kind and generous man, whom he had come across this man when he was just another troubled teen. He once had gotten himself into a big mess with the magic council but Stephen Alkaev helped him at his time of need and for that he was in debt. Stephen Alkaev had sheltered Orga for around six months before he had left to be on his own and during those six months he spent with the man he had met her, Sara Alkaev who was just a child back then, she was just a brat with the world in the palm of her hands and she didn't make any use of it.
After a few minutes of silence, Sara smiled softly. Orga looked at her and shrugged before he smirked at her.
"I'm still stronger than you though" she taunted him.
"That is next to impossible" he murmured before he cracked his hands and sent the black thunder bolts towards her. Much to his dismay he missed. She was on the floor along with Yukino whom she had pushed out of the way to protect.
"Are you fucking insane?" Rogue yelled as he moved to Yukino's side and grabbed her. Yukino reassured him her safety before standing up. Sting was confused, he couldn't attack his comrades. He couldn't pick sides. What the hell was this all about?
Sara smiled and jumped into the air, Orga missed her again. Sting was transfixed, he couldn't move. He just watched them fight. She moved with grace and poise. She was fast, much faster than Orga had comprehended. Black thunder was crackling around the whole guild, Orga roared and charged towards her while she moved forth. Sting watched in horror, she was going to get herself killed. Going up against a god slayer was suicide but what he wasn't aware of was the reason behind Orga's grudge against her.
The reason behind of his distaste towards her was the defeat the lightning god slayer had suffered against the water god slayer all those years ago.
"120mm black lightning canon" he chanted as he aimed at her, the black lightning sizzled before it started moving towards her, Sting watched in horror.
"Dissolve" she murmured and within a second there was a pool of black water. Orga smiled mentally, he had gotten her now. Water is a great conductor of electricity. Orga smiled coolly as the lightning crackled on the puddle.
Before Orga even realized she suddenly appeared out of nowhere and punched Orga in the face. Orga fell back and before he could recover, she sped up and kicked him in the face and continued with fast melee attacks. The whole guild watched the in amazement.
Orga wasn't going to back down so easily, he managed to grab her leg and toss her. She hit the cold hard wall with a loud crash. She managed to sit up without wasting a minute she moved away from her position, Orga was slamming lightning bolts after lightning bolts towards her, the dark crackling followed her till it hit finally struck her. It hurt a lot, as if her whole being was being pulled apart from the inside, as soon as it stopped she fell on her knees. She was done messing around. She could feel the adrenaline, the raw magic that was coursing through her veins.
Black water came flowing out of nowhere and slammed Orga straight into a wall. Sara took the chance and engaged in combat. She was expertly skilled in one on one combat. She somehow could muster good punches and kicks. Her father told her that she had more extraordinary magic in her than just god slayer magic.
"Lightning God's Charged Particle Cannon" the black light stirred with immense power towards her, if she was hit the result would be fatal but she didn't budge.
"Water God's shield" as she chanted a spherical water barrier had formed around her. Instead of conduction it repelled and hit the roof instead. The whole guild was shaking, the guild master who was supposed to be responsible was mesmerized by the intense battle taking place. Worrying and wondering, who would be the victor? As her safeguard went down she didn't waste a second, she jumped high into the air with agility and jumped as Orga threw his bolts at her recklessly. Enough fun, it was time to end this.
"Water God's Hydrus" a large mass of dark water washed dangerously down on Orga and before he could defend, it hit him causing him to shout in pain as the blunt force knocked him off his feet. Orga caught himself just in time and huffed in anger, he still wasn't going to go down. Sara's face contorted into a smirk.
"Enclose" she yelled as a large water caged formed on Orga's head, then came the consecutive physical attacks. She pulled punches after punches.
Rufus was enthralled, he never had the recollection of the lightning god slayer getting his ass handed back to him other than the grand magic games being an exception. This time it was a God slayer like him and it was a girl, Rufus mused how Orga had met his match or should it be his superior?
Sting saw what Orga would do next, this time he had to interfere. Sara herself could see the outcome as well, she had to move away before Orga decided to destroy the guild, She back flipped and ran out of the guild hall and ran as far away as she could and managed to make it to the nearest forest. Orga ran behind her, Sting and Rogue followed. Orga skidded into a halt as he saw the water mage high up in the sky.
"Sheesh what a jumpy cunt, wait till she gets a taste of this" Orga mused before unleashing his wrath on her.
"Lightning God's bellow" Orga roared.
"Water God's bellow" Sara countered.
"White dragon roar" Sting defended.
"Shadow dragon roar" Rogue prevented.
"Fire dragon roar" Natsu interfered.
The explosion was colossal, the ground shook as if a massive earthquake took place. A big chunk of a of ground was missing. Everyone was slight wobbly and shaken up due to the turmoil and the massive amount of magic. Sting and Rogue turned to face their newly arrived guest. There stood Natsu Dragneel with a rather happy smile.
"Yo! Sting, Rogue! Been long." He said as he extended an arm to them. Sting smirked and grabbed it. It's not every day his favorite person came to visit him.
"Natsu! Lucy! What brings you here?" Sting asked as he looked at the fire dragon slayer and his mate. Happy and Lucy both smiled and waved at them. Yukino who was being carried by lector and followed by Sting came to inspect the outcome.
"Is anybody hurt?" As soon as Lector put her down on the ground, Yukino shouted as she ran towards them. The exceeds were the main reason why there was no silence. Each of them thrilled to see each other. Sting and Rogue were deep in discussion with Natsu, who suggested that they could talk somewhere else, somewhere a little more private.
Lucy and Yukino both engulfed in a warm hug, were also happy to see each other after such a long time but the only ones left out were the God slayers but soon enough Rufus started chiding the thunder god slayer about his brutal defeat. Orga immediately started to stand up for himself with his bullshit excuses.
Suddenly it hit her, she was all alone again. Like most of her days spent. She didn't belong here or anywhere. So she had to run. Without a word she stood up and disappeared into the forest.
Authors Note:
I did it! I posted it! yaaay!
Anyway thank you to everyone who has been enjoying this story. I'm hoping you'll stick with me to the end of their adventure. I can't thank all the people that reviewed, favorited and followed. You guys are amazing.
I'm halfway done with chapter six and I'll upload it soon. I also had made an april fools day crack chapter but *sigh* I was too late...Oh well if you want me to upload it I'll do it.
I also noticed that I created a huge plot hole by mentioning Minerva chapter two, since the story advances from post grand magic games and pre tartaros, there really isn't a chance for Minerva to be present. I really apologize for that stupid mistake but I hope people will still read on. I also am really shitty at describing clothes so I made a polyvore outfit for a better visual the link will be listed bellow.
Till then...Follow, Favorite and Review.
