Uryu and all of the others was able to get a magic mobile. Uryu was driving as fast as he could with an S.E. plug on his arm, but it didn't seem like he was all that fast.

"Uryu, hurry up." Renji said as he was sitting next to him. "By the time we get there, the fighting will be over."

"I'm just being sensible. We don't want a crash and add another bill to the reputation Fairy Tail has." Uryu said.

"Are you sure you joined the right guild?" Renji asked. "Going overboard and things getting wrecked is what we do. This is why I thought Chad should drive." Meanwhile, the girls and Chad were inside.

"Do you think we're going to make it in time?" Orihime said.

"Don't underestimate Ichigo. He'll be fine." Chad said.

"Chad's right. He's probably beating down on his face right now and we'll be right there to help him in no time." Rukia said. Little did she know that the fight between him and Korodo was a stalemate.

…

Erza

Erza was outside and thinking about the dark guilds. Only less than a handful of them were associating with each other, but it still did not feel comfortable with her. That only has happened one other time in her life.

"So far, there doesn't seem to be any serious action." Erza said. "I still should take this as a precaution if anything happens."

"Erza!" She looked next to her and saw Harribel found her.

"Harribel? Is something wrong?" Erza asked.

"I just heard that Black Talon has acted out in Protea Town. A few members of your guild are there as well and caused a little trouble themselves." Harribel said.

"What?!" Erza said. This is not going to be good even if Ichigo wins.

"Shadows vs. Shadows"

…

Ichigo

Ichigo continued his fight against Korodo up in the mountains. Even when Ichigo found the power to devour shadows and darkness, no matter how much, he still couldn't get near Korodo. Korodo's Shadow Veil spell recovers much faster than any of his other spells and Ichigo can't get through.

"Are you ready to give in yet?" Korodo said.

"Never. That veil spell of yours might be tough, but I will find a way to break through." Ichigo said.

"Don't kid yourself. You can't beat me." Korodo said. "Shadow Slicer!" Korodo shot crescent shape shadows, but Ichigo devour them and wasn't even bothering him.

"At this point, we'll going to get nowhere." Ichigo said.

"Feeling frustrated? You didn't stand much of a chance to begin with." Korodo said. "It's time I finish this by hitting you with my ultimate spell. Hades Gale!" Korodo unleashed a massive storm of shadows that was like a hurricane and it blasted Ichigo and knocked him back a few feet and he dropped to one knee. "I'm impressed. Not many would get back up after being hit by that. You're seeing what I'll do to those guild masters."

"Shut up." Ichigo said. "All you ever talk about is trapping and torturing them. If you want to do that, you'll have to get through me first."

"Why don't you get? You can't beat me." Korodo said.

"We'll see about that." Ichigo said. He had one hand covered in darkness and made a fist with it. Ichigo charged right at him, but Korodo held up his own fist and intercepted the attack. The two attacks canceled each other out and the two of them pushed each other back.

"Is that all you've got?" Korodo said. The longer this fight was going on, the more Ichigo was becoming frustrated. He gripped his hands and tried crushing his own teeth. Black and red energy started to emit off his body from this reaction.

"No. What's wrong with me?" Ichigo said to himself as he was getting mad. "I should be able to beat him. A shadow wizard should be no match for me." The energy was becoming more intense as it was shooting out of him.

"What's going on?" Korodo questioned. "His power seems to be growing with his emotions. How is he doing it?" What Korodo didn't know was that this is what happens with a Fairy Tail wizard. They take their emotions and uses them to make themselves stronger. He got a visual aid as he saw his shadows were being pulled in. "What? My shadows are being pulled towards him."

"AAAAAWWWWWW!" Ichigo screamed from the rage and frustration and all the shadows of every dark area around were being pulled towards him for extra power.

"No! My Shadow Veil can't recover fast enough." Korodo said as it was nearly gone.

"I'm taking you down!" Ichigo shouted as he was at full power.

'His magic is so powerful, but he isn't a dragon slayer. Wait, is he the one I heard about?' Korodo thought as he finally put all the pieces together. Ichigo flew right at Korodo. He held his right fist back and socked Korodo in the stomach with it still being backed there and knocked the air right out of his lungs. Ichigo had power build up around his fist and opened it up.

"Night Spirit's Reap Slash!" Ichigo swung his arm up and Korodo felt like he just got slashed by a scythe against his chest.

'A spirit slayer! They actually are real!' Korodo said in his mind as he was amazed at what he saw. He bounced against the ground a couple times and hit his head against one of the mountains.

"Good riddance." Ichigo said. He took a few breaths and was able to calm down. "Oh man. That was frustrating, but at least it's over."

"Ichigo!" Ichigo looked and saw his friends arrived on the magic mobile. All of them got off and saw Korodo was out cold.

"You guys are late. This guys is already down for the count." Ichigo said.

"You could have left a few hits for us." Rukia said.

"I told you that we would have gotten hear sooner if Chad would have driven, but no." Renji complained. "Uryu was thinking of rules and regulations."

"Does it even matter at this point?" Uryu said. "We came to defeat Korodo and Black Talon and that's what we did."

"That's great, but does anyone here something?" Orihime asked. They all stopped for a minute talking for a minute and heard something that sounded like a motor.

"It's coming from the opposite direction." Chad said. They all looked back and saw Erza on a magic-cycle.

"Erza?!" Ichigo acted scared. If Erza was all the way out here, he was afraid they might be in trouble. Erza turned to the side and skidded to a stop.

"Ichigo! Everyone! I take it you were the members that dealing with Black Talon." Erza said. "I just heard what happened and rushed over as fast as I could."

"We were able to take care of all of it." Uryu said. "We already handed a vast majority of members to the army and they've all been locked away."

"That's good to hear." Erza said.

"We should take Korodo over to them as well." Uryu said. All of them turned to him, but Korodo already disappeared.

"He's already gone!" Rukia said.

"You've got to be kidding." Ichigo said. He was upset, but that turned to fear as he could feel Erza was giving one of her famous intimidation glares happening behind his back. The fear on everyone else was written on their faces.

"What's happening?" Orihime asked.

"There's a reason you should never get on Erza's bad side." Rukia said as they all feared what might happen.

"So let me get this straight. You let the man named Korodo escape and you've caused some trouble in Protea Town?" Erza said.

"Is it too late to say no or not much?" Ichigo asked, but he already felt he was in deep trouble.

….

Orihime

When was all said and done, Orihime went straight to her apartment. She went straight for the bathtub and just relaxed.

"It was a hard fought battle, but we managed to prevail." Orihime narrated. "Master Erza made us repair the damage we've done like fixing the broken wall Chad made." She thought back to everyone fixing up the hole and how Erza acted to make sure they got the job done.

'Fix up that hole. We won't be going back to the guild or stopping for a break until you get the job done.'

"Master Erza was strict that we get it done." Orihime narrated. "She didn't like that we caused a little trouble, but from what I've heard, Fairy Tail is use to this kind of thing. We also had to pay for the fact that we knocked out a couple guards. As for Black Talon, most of the members were taken into custody and was practically forced to disband. All except for Korodo whose whereabouts are still unknown. That's kind of scary. Once we got it all done, we head straight home and Ichigo was quite proud of himself."

…

The Guild

Ichigo was stuffing his face. He stood right in a shady part of the building and started eating up the whole thing by sucking it all in and the shadow was getting pulled in.

"That is so cool!" Natsu said as he had stars in his eyes from seeing this.

"I know." Ichigo said as he stopped feasting. "What's great is that I never seem to run out by standing in the shadow. You better watch out when I'm out in the night."

…

Orihime's partment

She got out of the bath and got dressed. She seemed ready for anything that might come her way this time.

"I must admit, I never expected Fairy Tail to be a rowdy bunch." Orihime narrated. "I also wasn't expecting so much trouble to come along the way, but I don't regret my decision of joining. I love it here."

"Orihime!" Orihime looked out the window and saw all five of her new friends outside and was waiting for her.

"Let's get going. We've got a new job." Ichigo called out.

"What's more is that the six of us agreed to be a team. In fact, it was my idea." Orihime narrated. "It wasn't easy to convince Ichigo to work with Uryu or Renji, but I was able to get him to agree with the idea." She ran outside and met up with all of them as they took off together. "I've never been happier than I am right now to be a part of Fairy Tail. I don't know what danger might come along the way, but I actually don't care as long as I have my friends. Of course, there are other members of the guild that I still haven't met yet."

….

The Forest

A horse drawn carriage was just walking down the opened path with a nice man inside with some riches inside it. The horse came to a stop when some bandits came out to try and rob him and the man seemed nervous.

"Alright old man, come out and give us the treasure and this won't have to get ugly." A bandit threatened. The man didn't know what to do since he was completely surrounded.

"You should know better than to try and steal." All the bandits turned around and saw someone. He was dressed in black clothes that were large around the legs and arms like kimono with white hand pieces covering the back of them. He wore a white silk scarf and had long black hair. He had one headpiece on the side of his head with another on top that had three strands coming out.

"Mind your own business." The bandit threatened.

"I despise wasting my magic on scum like you, but I can't ignore this." A pink flash came and shoved all the bandits away and knocked them all out. The man being robbed looked out and saw an exquisite sight as pink petals floated around him.

"I know who that is. He's Byakuya of Fairy Tail." One of the bandits tried to say. Orihime was right. There are still many members of Fairy Tail to meet.

….

Orihime: Ichigo, other than the master, are you the strongest in the guild?

Ichigo: I like to think so, but I know I'm not. There are actually a lot more members that are stronger than I am. Especially those who are S-Class.

Orihime: S-Class must be filled with tons of strong wizards.

Ichigo: You have no idea.

Ichigo: Next time: S-Class: Petals and Ice

Orihime: It can't be that hard to be S-Class.

Ichigo: It's harder than you might think.
