CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: AIRA VS SOL

Aira runs through the hallways of the Phantom Lord Guild. "Damn you Phantom Lord...!" He steps on a tile and an eye appears. Aira turns around as he hears someone behind him. "Huh?!"

A figure appears behind him which happens to be Sol. "Salut."

"An Element 4, huh?" Aira unbuttons two of the buttons on his dark blue button up shirt.

A Magic Circle appears under Mira. "Oh, no!" Cana notices Mira being taken away underground. "Mira!"

Mira is taken to the guild, held as hostage. "Deplorable girl, attempting to fool us like that..." Master Jose said. "Now you will witness the end of your friends as you are slowly crushed."

"Mira!" Cana cried out.

"Nee-chan!" Elfman called out.

"Damn! This is insane!" Macao commented.

"Mira-chan!" Wakaba shouted.

"Hurry and stop that giant! Natsu! Aira! Gray!" Cana thinks to herself.

"My name is Sol. You can call me Monsieur Sol." Sol introduces himself.

"Perfect timing. You're gonna tell me how to stop this giant." Aira said. "Water Dragon's Roar!" Aira uses his breath attack, but Sol disappears underground and back on top.

"Dragon Slayer?" Sol waves his arm around.

"Enough of your blabbering! Water Dragon's Gale Force!" A dark blue Magic Circle appeared as a blast of ocean blue water headed towards Sol, who dodges it.

"Oh? You had a father, didn't you?" Sol asked as Aira glares at him. Sol jumps back to prepare an attack. "Sable Dance!" Sand surrounds Aira who can't see where Sol is going. "Roche Concerto!" Rocks attack Aira underneath him as he jumps back. "Non, non, non!" Sol digs underground and appears next to Aira, wrapping himself around Aira's arm. "Salut."

"Creepy bastard!" Aira surrounded his arm in with water so Sol can unwrap himself.

"Freezing water!" Sol unwraps himself from Aira's arm.

"Enough playing around, Monsewer Sol!" Aira shouted.

"That's Monsieur Sol." Sol kicks Aira back.

"This guy's stronger than he looks!" Aira jumps back, glaring at Sol.

"Tell me, I heard you had a horrible past and lost the woman that you loved dearly and made you afraid of loving another woman?" Sol taunted him.

"Shut up!" Aira shouted as he charges at Sol. "Water Dragon's Wave Fist!" He stops when he sees a medium-sized status of Kaito. "Kaito!"

"I took the liberty of reading through your memories when you stepped on me earlier!" Sol stated.

"You little...!" Aira growled.

"What a magnificent dragon you have. I wonder where he is right now?" Sol taunted. "Oh, my apologises. He abandoned you." Aira remembers the being alone on the day that Kaito disappeared and the countless days searching for him. "Oh, what a shame."

Aira growls as he shouts in anger, trying to forget his memories he locked up. His Magic Power gathers around him. "I can't let him get to me."

"Non, non, non! That's no good!" Sol strokes his mustache. Aira tries to get rid of his memories that haunted him, pulling on his hair. Aira gathers up his Magic Power, breathing heavily. "It seems you already used up a great deal of magic just now!"

"Dirty bastard..." Aira growled. "Face me fair and square with your fists!"

"Non, non, non!" Sol gathers up his Magic, creating a whirlwind of sand. "Platre Sonata!" A fist of plaster punches Aira, crashing through the wall, making a hole.

Mira notices Aira on the ground after being punched through the wall. "Aira!"

"Mira-chan... What... What are you doing there?!" Aira shouted.

"Oh? A close friend of yours? Does that mean she's Miss Mirajane, once feared as the "She-Devil"? Her magic has deteriorated so much. Poor girl." Sol slowly walks behind Aira. "She is being punished for trying to deceive us. She'll be crushed before long."

"Let her go!" Aira demanded, yelling at Sol.

"You are about to lose another friend before your very own eyes. A woman no less. Because you are a powerless wizard with no heart!" Sol casts a Magic Spell on Aira. "I will not forgive you. Therefore, I will give you eternal torment. Sealing Magic: Merci la Vie! You will become a part of earth and wander inside your detestable memories forevermore!" Aira screams in pain as he is being cast under a spell.

"S-Stop!" Aira screamed.

While in a trance, Aira sees past memories of himself as a young teenager.

Past...

"That's... me..." Aira thought, remembering this day.

A young teenager, about fourteen years old, is sitting in the pouring rain as he cried to himself. A woman, about sixteen years old, notices him crying so she decides to talk to him."Hey, are you okay?" She asked. Her voice was gentle. She had long dark green hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a black tank top, black jeans, and white sneakers. She also had a light green Blue Pegasus emblem on her right shoulder.

The younger teenager looked up to see the woman towering over him. He wiped his tears away. "I'll be fine."

"You don't look like it. Tell me. What's bothering you?" The woman sighs as she sits down next to him.

"I just feel... out of place. Alone." Aira replied, looking away.

"How come?" The woman asked.

"My dragon... He disappeared a long time ago." Aira replied. The woman seems shocked to hear this.

"Dragon? Do you happen to be a Dragon Slayer?" The woman asked. Aira nodded in reply. "What guild are you from?"

"Fairy Tail." Aira said, moving his white button up shirt aside and showed the woman his dark blue Fairy Tail guild mark that was on his right pectoral.

"Good choice. Do you have any friends there?"

"Yeah, but... I still feel alone sometimes... I try not to think about my dragon, but it keeps coming back to me." Aira replied. "So I try to clear my head when I go on a mission or do things that ticks the Master off."

"Like what?" The woman asked.

"I get in trouble with the Magic Council a lot..." Aira chuckles.

The woman chuckles as she thinks of something that might cheer him up. "I'm Ryoko. I'll be your new friend." Ryoko smiles at Aira, holding out her hand.

"Airavata, but call me Aira for short." He takes Ryoko's hand.

"The day I met her..." Aira smiles to himself as he relives the memory.

Past...

This time, Aira sees himself at sixteen years old, at the guild.

"Aira!" Master Makarov shouted, sitting at a bar with Macao and Wakaba.

"Do you need something, Gramps?" Aira asked as he walked over to the bar.

"I got a letter from the Magic Council saying you put a whole village underwater!" Master Makarov responded, showing the papers.

Aira laughs to himself as the Master looks at him seriously which makes him stop laughing. "I went overboard during one of my jobs. Oops."

Macao just shook his head in disapproval.

"Next time, if I get another letter from the Magic Council. I won't hesitate to do something rash!" Master Makarov warned as Aira freaks out a bit.

"Okay, okay! I promise it won't happen again." Aira said, trembling in fear.

"Take another job. And try not to destroy anything this time." Wakaba said.

Aira looks for a job that he could do. He grabs one from the request board that caught his attention. "I guess this will work... I'll be back, Gramps!" Aira runs out of the guild.

"Wait a minute... Don't tell me this was when..." Aira watches as his younger self is running to the location that the job was in.

Aira is now standing in a city where it's all damaged and blown up.

Present...

Aira is almost completely covered in stone, unconscious. "Aira! Pull yourself together! Snap out of it, Aira!" Mira cried out.

Past...

Aira sees a large beast, stomping on the ground. Aira trembles in fear as soon as the beast looked familar. "D-Deliora!"

"Damn it..." A woman, about eighteen years old, was panting and injured as she was fighting Deliora.

"Ryoko!" A familar voice called out from behind her. Ryoko turns around to see Aira running her way.

"Aira...?!" Ryoko watches Aira catch up her. "What are you doing here?! Get out of here!"

"What?! I had a job request here, but what is that?!" Aira looks at Deliora who is destroying more buildings.

"The Demon of Destruction, Deliora! Now leave before you get hurt!" Ryoko shouted.

"No way! I'm going to help you!" Aira refuses to leave. Aira and Ryoko continue to argue as Deliora notices them.

"You idiot... Why didn't you listen to her?!" Aira talks to himself, scolding his younger self.

Deliora roars out loud as he is about to attack. Ryoko and Aira notice the demon's rage. Deliora swings his arm, tossing Aira away as he falls to the ground.

"Aira!" Ryoko shouted, tears start streaming down her face, thinking that Aira is dead. Ryoko turns to Deliora and starts to attack him. "You demon! Just die already! Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Vine Garden!" A light green Magic Circle appeared in front of her as a small garden of vines showed up, but nothing happened. Since Ryoko is injured and used up most of her magic power, she was not able to make her attacks as powerful as they should've been. Deliora easily kills Ryoko by smashing her with his fist.

Aira drops down to his knees as he sees Ryoko, his first love, being killed by Deliora.

The sixteen year old slowly wakes up. "Damn it. Ryoko..." Aira can barely move due to his injuries. He pushes himself up and looks around the destroyed down where he was supposed to take on the job.

Aira walks slowly through the town, seeing dead bodies and destroyed buildings until he sees a familar woman with dark green hair. He realizes it's Ryoko as blood was coming down from her forehead and her clothes were torn apart. Aira could clearly see her light green Blue Pegasus emblem slowly disappearing. "Hey! Ryoko! Wake up!" There was no response from her. Aira sits there, crying to himself, seeing his friend and his first love dead in his arms. "Ryoko!" He shouted. After a moment of silence, he closes Ryoko's eyes and kisses her forehead. "Rest easy, Ryoko... I love you..." Aira leaves her dead body behind as he heads back to Fairy Tail, not looking back.

Aira remembers what he told himself that day. "I won't love anyone else... Because everyone I end up loving and caring for, always die..."

Present...

"Ryoko..." Aira lets one tear out of his eye.

"Aira...!" Mira called out as Aira snaps back into conscious. "Aira! Pull yourself together!"

"Now, then! It's about time for the finale!" Sol said.

"Why...?" Aira growled.

"Oh?" Sol turns around and sees Aira's rage build up.

"I will kill you!" Aira shouted as his Magic Power builds around him.

"It's no use! You cannot simply defeat me with such weak magic!" Apparently, Sol gets knocked back as Aira releases his Magic Power. "My word!"

"Die..." Aira gives Sol a death glare, standing over him as his Magic Power increases.

"His Magic Power?! It increased!" Mira stated.

"Non, non, non..." Sol sweats nervously. "With three nons, this is misunderstanding! I gave you that ordeal to help you overcome your painful past! That's all! So bonsoir! I always knew you would overcome it!" Sol acts innocent and comes up with different reasons so Aira cannot kill him. "You know?" Aira growls at him as he slowly walks towards him. "So I'll just be going now..." Aira punches Sol backwards. "Curse you! Platre Sonata!" He attacks Aira, jumping down thinking he landed an attack. "Non, non, non! You let your guard down!"

Aira appears behind him, grabbing his head. "You let your guard down." He uses his magic to drown him and then slams his head to the ground. "Die!" He punches him countless times.

"Aira...!" Mira gets worried for him.

"Oh... Oui..." Sol groaned. "Je t'aime... Non!" His soul leaves his body, but Aira catches it and puts it back so he can hurt him some more. "Non! At least knock me out!"

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Death Tsunami!" Aira puts his hand back as a dark blue Magic Circle appeared and huge wave of water appears. He aims it at Sol, as the water comes down. Sol is now unconscious, drowned out by all the water.

"Aira!" Mira cried out.

"That's right... I have to save Mira-chan...!" Aira runs outside, releasing her from the clutches of the Giant Mage.

"Thank you, Aira." Mira thanks Aira who softly smiles at her. The Giant Mage starts to slow down. "The magic circle it's drawing... It's slowed down!" Mira noticed. "The forbidden spell of the four elements... Abyss Break... The four elements... Fire, water, wind, earth..." She thinks about the elements and how the Giant Mage slowed down. "Aira! How many of the Element 4 are left?!"

"Huh? Let me think..." Aira thinks about it for a second. "There are two, I think..."

"That's it! The giant is slowing down because they've been beaten! Basically, the giant is powered by the four elements! If we defeat all of the Element 4, we can stop this spell!" Mira explained.

"Really?!" Aira exclaimed.

"Hurry! The remaining two should be inside the giant!" Mira and Aira go search for the two remaining members of the Element 4.

A/N: Ryoko is another OC of mine. Who was Aira's first love. She was the Nature Dragon Slayer. Which is why Aira doesn't like Satsuki, since she's the Earth Dragon Slayer.

Hope you enjoyed!
