"-And I'm like 'jump' and he says 'no', I'm like 'jump' and he says 'no', then I'm like 'jump' and he says 'okay' and he finally jumps before the train crashes." Kyo said to Ultear.

"Wow, from what you said he sounds like a bit of a wimp." Ultear said, still feigning innocence.

"Yeah, he is, but Orga means well." Kyo said. "He just has those flashes of cowardice from time to time. And let me tell you about Rufus; that guy can't remember a damn thing."

"So are any of them here with you?"

"Pfft, you don't want those guys around. When this Dark Guild attacks, they'll just get in the way. Like Mama Rogue carrying his little baby boy/girl everywhere."

"Really?" She said sounding interested, but actually she was thinking. *Oh my God! Shut up! Just tell me who else is here with you and shut your mouth! God, this idiot is so full of himself! Foster, Meredy, help me!*


On the other side of town, Foster was busy defending himself from Yukino's attacks. One of the Pisces charged at him.

"Forest God Hammer!"

Foster surrounded his arm in black leaves and at the last minute jumped over the Pisces' head and slammed his arm on top of it to send it crashing to the ground.

*I've got to keep him pinned down.* Yukino thought as she pulled out another gold key. "Open, Gate of the Heavenly Scales! Libra!"

Yukino summoned the Celestial Spirit Libra who altered the gravity around Foster to keep him stuck on the ground. While he was trapped under the pressure of gravity, Pisces charged at him again and hit him so hard that he was launched into the air. Foster took this chance to surround his entire body in black leaves as he fell to the ground a fair distance away from Yukino.

"You won't get away!" Yukino said as she chased him.

When Yukino got to the area where Foster had landed she scanned the crowd to find him, but he was nowhere in sight.

"He got away…" She muttered to herself.


Meanwhile, Jason and Flora continued to follow Sakura who was following Foster's scent, but she stopped suddenly.

"That's weird." Sakura said. "I just lost his scent."

"You lost his scent?!" Flora exclaimed. "How is that possible?!"

"Uh, maybe that has something to do with it." Jason said, pointing to a nearby perfume stand. "Those perfumes are messing with your sense of smell."

Sakura sniffed the air again. "… I'm getting something, but it's definitely not perfume. And it's nearby!"

Sakura ran off and the other two followed as she ran toward the lake where Kyo was still trying to sweet talk Ultear.

"-and my Dad shot her. It was weird." Kyo told Ultear.

"Oh my goodness…" Ultear said and thought to herself. *Oh my God! I have to bail!*

Ultear was suddenly stopped by Sakura grabbing her shoulders from behind and sniffing her neck.

"What the hell?!" Ultear exclaimed.

"Hey, personal space, lady!" Kyo said, pushing Sakura off Ultear.

Jason and Flora caught up with Sakura.

"Sakura, what is it?" Jason asked.

"She has his scent." Sakura replied.

Kyo listened to Sakura's comment and turned to Ultear. "Who's scent?"

"Um… Your scent, of course." Ultear improvised. "I've been holding onto your arm so tightly that your scent must have rubbed off on me." *Oh, that was terrible lie…*

"Well, I don't blame you." Kyo said, rubbing the back of his head. "It is my aroma that attracts all the ladies to me after all."

*Idiot!* Ultear thought.

"That would indicate they're actually searching for my scent." Kyo said. "Oh, sucks being as famous as I am."

"… Who are you?" Sakura, Flora and Jason asked simultaneously.

"How can you not know?!" Kyo exclaimed before posing with his leg on a crate, an elbow on his knee, his hand on his chin and his eyes closed. "I am Kyo the White Dragon Slayer! BAM!" He pointed his fingers toward the sky.

"No you're not." Sakura said bluntly.

Kyo turned white and sweat-dropped. "O-o-of course I am! Why would you doubt me?"

"Because you don't smell like a Dragon Slayer." Sakura replied. "You smell like deep-rooted insecurity and bitterness."

"How dare you?!" Kyo shouted. "I am too a Dragon Slayer!"

"Prove it." Sakura pointed at the lake. "Do your Dragon Roar, right now."

Kyo looked out to the lake. "Uh, Dragon Roar? Sure, no problem." He looked out toward the lake and scratched his chin a little bit.

"We're waiting." Sakura said.

"Grr…" Kyo growled before taking in a deep breath and exhaling. "White Dragon…" He put his hands together over his mouth. "Roar!"

Out of his hands came a blast of white, slightly bluish energy that spread across the lake and created an explosion. When the explosion died down and the water calmed, the audience that had gathered around them started applauding. Even Sakura, Jason and Flora were applauding.


In the warehouse, the figure was watching the display through a window.

"There it is!" He said in a flamboyant voice. "The White Dragon Slayer! He's here! Hoheehoheehoheeho!"

He donned his cloak and ran out of the warehouse prissily.


Kyo smirked, put his hand on his chin and winked in Ultear's direction. "How was that? Impressive, don't ya think?"

The only problem is that Ultear wasn't there, just a blank outline of her.

"Where'd she go?!" Kyo exclaimed.

"He actually did it…" Sakura muttered.

"Wow, the power of the White Dragon Slayer is amazing." Jason said.

"He must be a stronger Dragon Slayer than even Sakura." Flora said.

"He is NOT a Dragon Slayer!" Sakura shouted.

"Sakura, you made a mistake." Jason said. "Maybe the perfume affected you more than you thought it did."

"Yeah, you thought that lady was Foster." Flora added.

"I didn't say she was Foster, I said she smelled like Foster!" Sakura clarified.

Kyo looked over at them. "Who the hell is Foster? Are you saying that… she was with another man? That harlot led me on! I feel so betrayed…" Kyo fell to the ground and curled into the fetal position. "Don't look at me…"

"Wow, this guy's a drama queen." Jason commented.

"Kyo!" Yukino came running up to Kyo, who was still in the fetal position. "I fou-What are you doing?"

"Oh nothing…" Kyo responded. "Just sobbing over my broken heart…"

"… Okay." Yukino said. "I found one of them!"

Kyo immediately stood up and looked at Yukino. "You sure?"

"I'm positive." Yukino answered. "He used Forest God Slayer Magic, just like the reports said."

"Good job, Yukino." Kyo said as he patted Yukino on the head. "You might not be so useless after all."

"Forest God Slayer Magic?" Sakura quietly gasped to herself.

*They must be the ones who took the request.* Jason thought.

"Foster!" Flora gasped out loud.

"You know that guy?" Kyo asked.

"You're after Crime Sorcière!" Sakura shouted.

Kyo took a quick glance and noticed the Phoenix Dawn insignias on their bodies. "Ah, I get it. You're after the bounty on that guild, aren't ya? Phoenix Dawn, I've heard about you upstarts. Well, back off!" Kyo put his right hand up and showed off his Sabertooth guild mark. "This is Sabertooth turf! That bounty is ours by right!"

"Like hell it is!" Sakura shouted. "You Sabertooth people make me sick! You think you're so much better than everyone else! Well I'm gonna beat the white off ya!"

"That's racist." Jason said.

"Shut up!" Sakura shouted. "Are you gonna help or not?"

"Guess I got no choice." Jason replied.

Yukino pulled out her two golden keys as she stood next to Kyo. "I'll help you."

Kyo held his arm out and kept Yukino behind him. "No, go after Crime Salsa and take them out."

"But you can use my help." Yukino said. "I can't do it on my own and-"

"YOU BETTER!" Kyo yelled, looking back at Yukino with a pissed off expression.

Yukino was scared by the look on Kyo's face.

"This is your job!" Kyo said. "If you can't do one job on your own, you don't belong in Sabertooth! Now get to it!"

Yukino, near the verge of tears, swallowed to calm her nerves and ran off.

"That was uncalled for." Jason said.

"It's the only way she'll learn." Kyo stated. "So are you both coming at me at once or one at a time-"

"Forest Dragon Oak Crash!"

Sakura surrounded herself in cherry blossom petals and rammed into Kyo. Then she surrounded her right arm in petals and swung it at him.

"Forest Dragon Thorn Claw!"

She surrounded her right foot in petals.

"Forest Dragon Talon!"

She kicked Kyo in the chin and launched him into the air.

"Forest Dragon Whirlwind!"

Kyo became surrounded in a whirlwind of petals. Sakura then jumped up to where Kyo was with a blade made out of cherry blossom petals.

"Forest Dragon Blossom Blade!"

She swiped the blade at him and sent him hurdling into the ground.

"Forest Dragon… ROAR!"

Sakura blasted a massive breath attack where Kyo had landed, destroying parts of the pavement below and she landed on the ground on her feet.

"Jason, finish him off!" Sakura shouted.

"Got it!" Jason nodded, surrounded his arms in gusts of wind and hurled them to form a tornado right where Kyo was. "Zephyr Tornado!"

The tornado picked up chunks of debris caused by Sakura's roar and when the tornado subsided, the debris fell to the ground and a dust cloud covered the area where they launched their attacks.

"That was… that was a waste of time." Kyo said from within the dust cloud. "My turn now?"

"He's still standing?" Jason gasped.

Sakura jumped into the dust cloud and readied a punch. "Not for long!"

She swung her fist only to have to strike cold, hard metal. When the dust cleared a bit, she could make out that she punched Kyo right in the face. Only that his face was covered in plated steel. In fact, his entire body was covered in steel. The damage from the attacks had ripped his shirt apart, but his shorts were still intact. The steel had lines over the curves in his body and the areas where his joints had extra plating that curled when his body moved.

"Ha!" Sakura laughed. "I was right! You're not the White Dragon Slayer!"

Kyo punched her square in the face and knocked her back 30 feet into a building and through a wall.

"I was only lying to a pretty girl." Kyo said. "Of course I'm not."

Sakura climbed out of the rubble, though a little wobbly.

"Zephyr Shotgun!"

Jason shot one of his gusts of wind at Kyo, but the wind simply blew against his body and he didn't flinch. Kyo grabbed some guy's nearby cabbage cart and hurled it toward Jason. Jason slid underneath the flying cart and it crashed onto the street several feet behind him, scattering the cabbages everywhere.

"Forest Dragon Roar!"

Sakura once again shot her breath attack at Kyo and it struck him in the chest, but it split against his body and he still didn't flinch. Kyo walked through the breath attack and Sakura kept attacking him until Kyo got right in front of her and grabbed her by the face, covering up her mouth. He then lifted her up over his head and slammed her into the ground, leaving a crater from the sheer force. Kyo looked up at Jason who was standing from him at a distance.

*He's powerful, I'll give him that.* Jason thought. *But all that metal probably makes him slow and lumbering. It's probably best to keep my distance.*

Kyo, in a swift motion, clotheslined Jason in the chest and tackled him into two other buildings. He not only knocked the wind out of him, but he also might have cracked a few ribs. Kyo just stood tall, unfazed and stepped on Jason's ribcage.

"I'll give you some credit for still being conscious, buddy." Kyo said. "Begin hit by me is like being hit by a small train. You see, my Steel Body Magic gives me a powerful steel body. My strength is multiplied by a hundred and my endurance is multiplied by a hundred." He took Jason's head and dug it into the ground. "And I'm not even the strongest one in my guild. Hell, I'm not even in the Top 5! So I'm only going t say this once! Never! Piss off! Sabertooth!"

Kyo stepped off Jason and walked away from the ruined building. Then he looked at the damage he caused by the fighting from the lakeside stands all the way to the houses.

"Ah, damn. This is definitely coming out of our reward." Kyo grumbled. "Where did Yukino get to?"


In the middle of a park, Jellal was sitting on a bench with his head down and his hood up so nobody could see his tattoo. Foster came walking up to him with his hood up now as well and took a seat next to Jellal.

"Jellal, I'm afraid we don't have as much time as we thought." Foster whispered to him. "Wizards from the Sabertooth guild have come to collect our bounty and they're dead set on taking us out."

"Then we need to find Ultear, Meredy and Morticia and leave as soon as possible." Jellal whispered back. "I'd prefer it if we made as little of a scene as we can."

"I found you!"

The two men lifted their heads up to see Yukino standing not that far from them, readying her two golden Gate Keys.

"Crime Sorcière!" Yukino said.
