The next chapter is up, guys! By the way, at this point in the story Kagura simply has a small crush on Jason, emphasis on 'small'. I'm trying to build this up as realistically as I can. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!

Frost continued to follow Luna's scent throughout a deep forest with Blaise, Melody, Sakura, Kuroko, Static, Vincent, Flora and Cole following her lead. Blaise looked up at the sky and saw the reddish hue the setting sun was giving off.

"Hold on!" Blaise said. "We should head back to town for the night."

"But we'll lose the scent." Frost said.

"I'd rather we retired to fight another day than end up dead." Blaise said. "Luna's powers are its most dangerous at night, even more so when there's a full moon."

"Master Blaise, you seem to know a lot about this Luna person." Sakura said. "Who is she? Someone from Mermaid Heel? Fairy Tail? Lamia Scale?"

"… I didn't want to have to tell you any of this." Blaise replied. "Before I joined Mermaid Heel, I lived on the streets as an orphan after my family was killed by Grimoire Heart. Luna was in the same boat as me, so we both did what was necessary in order to survive. I wanted us to join a guild, but Luna had developed a hatred for money so she refused. Along the line, we both learned how to use magic and it was then that Luna really started to change. One day while I was away, she had used her magic to invade someone's home and kill everyone there. I confronted her about it and finally saw that she was no longer the girl I thought I knew. I've been trying to track her movements for the past 16 years and only now do I have a way of ending this… but if it costs you your lives, I'd rather wait another 16 years."

"I'm afraid you won't have that time!" A gravelly male voice spoke.

Out of nowhere the man with the grey wolf skin appeared before them and his body began to change as the last glimmer of sunlight faded. His body became hairier, his muscles grew in size and his face started to morph into a dog-like shape. When the transformation finished, the man was now a grey wolf-man.

"I am Convel the Strong (Age ?)!" The wolf-man said. "One of Lady Luna's personal guard."

"So you know who Luna is!" Sakura said, pointing right at him. "Then we'll just have to kick your ass until you tell us where she's hiding!"

Out of nowhere, something had grabbed Sakura and taken her deeper into the forest.

"Sakura!" Kuroko and Flora shouted as they chased after her.

"Kuroko, wait!" Blaise called to him. "Don't separate from the group!"

Blaise tried to go after Kuroko, but a brown wolf-man with cartoony, gigantic forearms got in between her and blocked her path.

"Dammit!" Blaise muttered.

"You're not getting past Rand the Shield (Age ?)!" The brown wolf-man said.

"Out of the way!" Frost shouted as she ran toward Rand. "Ice Dragon Frozen Fist!"

Frost was about to punch Rand with her ice-covered fist, but Rand held up his arms to form a shield and blocked Frost's attack without moving an inch.

"Nothing breaks through my guard!" Rand said.

"We'll see about that!" Melody shouted as she thrust her palms toward Rand. "Rhythm Palms!"

Melody created sonic shockwaves that pushed Rand pretty far back.

"You're strong, but my guard is unbreakable!" Rand said.

"Master Blaise, Frost and I will take care of this guy." Melody said. "You just go on ahead and find this Luna."

"And I'd hate to admit it, but that little Dragon Slayer of yours can handle herself, too." Frost said.

"Kick his butt, Frost!" Cole cheered.

"But what about-" Blaise was about to say as she turned toward the others.

Vincent and Static were fighting with Convel.

"We can take care of this guy!" Static said.

"Yeah, you go on ahead." Vincent said.

Blaise was reluctant to leave them on their own. "… You're right. All of you are very powerful wizards and I should trust you to make it through these battles alive."

Blaise ran further into the forest to search for Luna.

Further in the forest, Sakura was thrown into a tree and as she got up, she saw a black wolf-woman with a skinny build standing in front of her.

"I am Ylva the Swift (Age ?)." The wolf-woman said.

"Just what exactly are you anyway?" Sakura asked.

"Lady Luna carries two special brands of magic." Ylva said. "Just like how Dragon Slayers can take on the qualities of a dragon, Lady Luna can take on the qualities of a wolf, but she can also turn herself into a wolf at will. She also has the ability to turn wolves into humans with another form of magic entirely: Wolf Subjugation Magic."

"Seriously?!" Sakura asked. "That is SO weird!"

"The age of man will soon come to an end." Ylva said.

"Bring it on!" Sakura shouted with a confident smirk.

Ylva suddenly vanished and reappeared behind Sakura.

"… Die…" Ylva quietly muttered.

"SAKURA, LOOK OUT!"

Sakura was pushed out of the way by Kuroko and Ylva slashed Kuroko across his chest with her claws and blood came out of massive wound.

"Kuroko!" Sakura shouted.

"Out of my way, little man." Ylva said as she prepared to slash at Kuroko again.

Kuroko's eyes became black. "… Death Ward."

Kuroko put down a ward that fired powerful curse magic at Ylva and started to drain the life out of her.

"What… What the hell is this?!" Ylva asked, struggling to breath.

"It's a Voodoo Magic called Blood Ritual." Kuroko said. "Whenever I bleed, my attack power increases. And my Death Ward is a powerful curse magic that never misses its target and doesn't stop until their life energy is completely sucked out. A ruthless spell for a ruthless killer."

"S… stop…" Ylva begged. "P… please…"

Kuroko clenched his fist and Ylva's life force was completely drained out of her.

*I never imagined Kuroko would be capable of this.* Sakura thought.

"Sakura, are you okay?" Kuroko asked, holding his hand out to her.

"I'm fine, thanks to you." Sakura answered as she took his hand and he pulled her up.

Flora watched the whole fight from a distance and thought to herself. *Kuroko has such terrifying magic. And Sakura just hangs around him so casually. I'd better keep a close eye on him from now on.*

"Whoa, that wound." Sakura gasped upon seeing the large wound on Kuroko. "Hold on, let me try something."

Sakura's hands started to glow pink as she placed them over Kuroko's wound and it started to close up.

"That's amazing!" Kuroko said. "I didn't know you knew healing spells!"

"It's my Forest Magic." Sakura said. "Its healing properties aren't as effective or proficient as Sky Magic, but it's still incredibly helpful."

"… Thanks." Kuroko said.

Meanwhile, Static and Vincent were having a tough time fighting Convel, who had just used his muscular wolf arms to smash an entire tree to smithereens trying to strike the two Phoenix Dawn mages.

"Now I see why you're called Convel the Strong." Static said. "But all that power is meaningless if you can't hit your target. Lightning Hook!"

Static tried to shoot a curved bolt of lightning at Convel, but he ducked and charged toward Static.

"Gunpowder Magic: Black Twister!" Vincent shouted.

A tornado of gunpowder was formed underneath Convel and lifted him up in the air.

"Now… Spark." Vincent said as he snapped his fingers.

With that, the gunpowder was ignited and the explosion completely engulfed Convel. As the flames died down, only the ashes of Convel's body remained.

"Remind me not to piss you off." Static said to Vincent.

Frost and Melody were still busy trying to break through Rand's defenses.

"I told you!" Rand said. "There's no way you're breaking through my wall!"

"We'll see about that!" Frost said as she breathed in. "Ice Dragon Roar!"

Frost shot her breath attack at Rand, which he was able to block with his shield-like arms.

"Like I said!" Rand said.

Frost continued blasting him with the icy cold breath.

*Why is she still attacking?* Rand wondered.

He then noticed that his arms were freezing in ice along with the rest of his body.

"Heheh, gotcha!" Melody smirked.

When Frost finally stopped shooting her breath at the enemy, Rand was completely frozen solid in ice.

"Thanks, Frost!" Melody said as she charged toward the frozen Rand. "Time to finish you off! Rhythm Palms!"

Melody slammed her palms against the frozen Rand, sent vibrations all throughout him and completely shattered him along with the ice.

"Way to go, girls!" Cole cheered. "This calls for a victory fondle!"

Cole flew right into Frost's chest and began fondling them.

"We should probably see how the others are doing." Melody said.

"And by 'we' you mean 'you'?" Frost asked.

Melody started to use her Sound Magic to pick up the heartbeats of everyone within the vicinity.

"… It seems that everyone else has finished with their fights." Melody said. "Master Blaise is still trying to search for Luna… but she's close… very close."

In the forest clearing, Luna was meditating as the moon was covered by the clouds. She quickly opened her eyes to see a stream of fire shooting right for her and jumped out of the way.

"… It's been a while, hasn't it, Blaise?" Luna asked.

Blaise came walking out of the forest with her rapier drawn.

"16 years." Blaise said.

"Are you sure you should leave your greedy guild mates alone? Don't underestimate my wolves."

"No, Luna, YOU shouldn't underestimate MY guild mates, my family. I left them because I have faith in their abilities."

"Why, Blaise? Why can't you understand my plight?"

"Your plight? You call killing innocent people a plight?!"

"We were born to families that didn't make much, watched them die and be forced out into the streets. Our backgrounds are exactly the same and yet here we are, exact opposites. You support the very people that forced people like us to fend for ourselves while I've done everything in my power to put an end to it. How are we so different?!"

"Because we both see the world in a different way. You only ever saw humanity's weaknesses, I always saw their strengths. There's nothing else to it than that."

"Grrr… Well my view shall reign supreme! Thanks to my Wolf Subjugation Magic, I can destroy all of humanity and rebuild it anew with the wolves I turn human! I will lead this new world to a brighter future, free of the sins that humanity is tainted with!"

As the full moon finally appeared in the sky, Luna's body began to change.

"Take Over Magic: Werewolf Soul!"

Luna's transformation had turned her into what could be described as the perfect image of a werewolf. She still had her normal clothing, but she was hairier, her arms were more like clawed paws and her face looked exactly like that of a wolf. With the full moon shining down upon her, Luna let out a beastly howl toward the moon before looking at Blaise.

"You don't stand a chance against me now." Luna said, her voice slightly changed by her transformation. "You might be one of the Ten Wizard Saints, but my powers reach their peak on the night of a full moon. Not even your fabled Phoenix Magic can save you now."

Just then, something dashed by in an instant and slashed Luna across the stomach. Despite the wound and the blood coming out of it, she didn't even seem fazed by it.

"Hm?"

Blaise looked toward where she saw a person appear.

"So, you command wolves?" The person asked as they walked toward them. "Tell me, are you the one who attacked Jason?"

"… Kagura?" Blaise asked.

As the person stepped into the moonlight, the light revealed that it was Kagura and she was glaring right at Luna.

"And who is this?" Luna asked.

"I'm an old friend of Blaise from Mermaid Heel." Kagura answered.

"… Kagura…" Blaise said. "This woman…"

"You don't have to explain anything to me, Blaise." Kagura said. "Right now, all I need to know is that she's responsible for what happened to Jason."

Kagura continued to leer at Luna, who gave her a leer back along with a smirk.

A/N: Got that done a little faster than I thought! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed seeing some of your OCs in action! Next time, it's Blaise and Kagura versus Luna!
