Lightning Dragon Slayer vs Lord of Thundercloud
Claudette is seen training her swordsmanship alone in the woods thinking she needs to get stronger, she hoped that her sisters would join her but they are busy doing their own things like Lucy and Michelle trying to figure out the writings on the object and Leina and Elina are doing shopping to buy some normal clothing for whenever their not out doing jobs for the guild.
Claudette held her sword Thunderclap close to her face and close her eyes, focusing on the pictures of lightning bolts in her mind with thunder sounds as she stands at the spot until small sparks of electric appears on her sword, and shot her eyes open at a tree.
"Spark Arrow" Claudette fired an arrow made of lightning at the tree as her practice target and it pierce right through the trunk leaving a hole sizzling on the inside with smoke.
"Good, it seems I'm getting better control of my magic thanks to Makarov and Master Macao." Claudette said to herself.
Sometime before Michelle appeared in their life the Vance sisters asked what kind of magic everyone in the guild use; each guild explained their magic and the moves they made like Natsu with his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic, Gray's Ice-Make Magic, the Strauss siblings' Take-Over magic, and Lucy's Celestial Spirit Magic. They asked them for some training to see if they can do magic and in a short time, they have been able to discover their own magic power: obviously Claudette can do lightning magic though no one has the same magic, so they couldn't help her with that. Although Claudette was okay with that since she's been training when she was a young child, she had no trouble training by herself from time to time.
"Hmm, I wish I could meet this Laxus man Macao and Wakaba mentioned before something about him being expelled from the guild. Maybe he could give me a challenge to push my magic more." Claudette said before continuing with her training.
Then suddenly, she heard a loud thunder noise from the distance and saw a lightning bolt raising from the ground, like someone is out here using magic right now.
"Such a powerful bolt, could it be Laxus?" Claduette asked herself, decided to call of training for the day and head out to where the lightning was coming from.
As she runs through the trees, she started to hear some voices, two men arguing about something, she recognizes one to be Natsu and Happy but couldn't make out the other probably a guild member she has not met yet. She finally sees some people standing on a path and came out making herself known to everyone here.
"Whoa Claudette, where'd you come from?" Natsu asked shock.
"I was doing training nearby and I saw the lightning bolt, I came here to investigate." Claudette explained.
"Oh yeah, you're one of Lucy's sisters, right?" The man asked.
He's a very tall and muscular young man with gray eyes; his blonde hair is slicked back, its numerous spiky strands pointing backwards, though some falls down in a small tuft on his forehead. He has a distinct lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right eye, his eyes have dark circles, with each of them possessing a single, prominent eyelash jutting outward. He wears a sleeveless shirt with white fur on the neck collar and waist part of the shirt and dark-blue fur on the shoulder part.
"Tell me, are you by any chance Laxus Dreyar?" Claudette asked curious, seeing him resembles Makarov.
"Yeah, that's me." Laxus answered.
"Hey lady, you better not get in my way to fighting Laxus." The boy next to Natsu said.
Claudette look to see a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead. He has red eyes with slitted dark pupils and has no visible eyebrows. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes (acting as "eyebrows" of sorts), two on each side of his nose, and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. He wears closed, light-grey opening running center of his torso, and wears a new grey belt, both without any studs. He also sports a black tattered scarf and a larger wing-like ornament that covers most of his right arm. He still retains his pants, gloves and boots.
"Who's your friend, Natsu?" Claudette asked.
"Hey, I'm no friend of his! I'm The Black Steel, Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox!" Gajeel introduced himself.
"Interesting, you're a Dragon Slayer too. I heard is the same type." Claudette said.
"I'm a Lightning Dragon Slayer, and I heard about you. You're Claudette, felt your magic from here and I must say you're pretty impressive." Laxus complimented.
"Thank you." Claudette replied, she also sees three people she knew calling themselves them Thunder Legion: Freed Justine, Evergreen, and Bickslow.
"I see you three are out here wanting to visit your former guildmate." Claudette chuckled.
"Well, yeah, Laxus is our main man guild or no guild! Bickslow stated.
"The Thunder Legion will always be together, no matter what!" Evergreen added with her fan.
"We'll always be here for Laxus in times of need." Freed bowed.
"You guys." Laxus looked away, hiding a small smile.
"Well then, you won't mind if I challenge you to a fight." Claudette pointed her Thunderclap at Laxus's face shocking everyone.
"For real, you want to fight him?" Natsu asked shock.
"Get in line, bitch! I call dips on him!" Gajeel claimed.
"Seriously, I honestly thought she was more level-headed like Lucy!" Bickslow gasped.
"I think it would be interesting." Freed smirked, Bickslow and Evergreen look at him confused.
"Remember, in the other world she was a mighty general that commanded lightning to attack her enemies. A battle between lightning dragon and general would indeed be something no one would forget." Freed explained his reason.
Now Laxus is the one smirking thinking about what Freed just said has started to peek his interest of the woman even though she's new to the guild, she still had battling experiences back in the other world she came from and probably fought against strong warriors too. Plus, she is a lightning magic user like him wanting to see who's lightning is stronger.
"Alright, you got my attention." Laxus said to Claudette.
"Hey, no fair I want to fight Laxus!" Natsu complained.
"Sorry Natsu, maybe you'll get the chance another time." Claudette said without looking away from Laxus and gets into her battle stance.
The two stares at each other with serious looks in their eyes as sparks are flying emitting on Claudette's sword and Laxus's body waiting to see who will make the first move and everyone didn't say anything wanting to see how this fight will go. Natsu is both very excited for seeing this fight wondering who will win and a little scared that Lucy will get mad at him for letting this happen.
"WAIT!"
Everyone turns their heads seeing Wendy running toward the group and Carla flying right to her and landed when Wendy stopped.
"Hey Wendy, Carla, what are you two doing here?" Happy asked.
"We came to check on Claudette to see how's her training doing, but we didn't expect to run into Laxus and actually wants to fight him." Carla answered.
"If you're here to stop the fight, then you're wasting your time. You should know better that in most fights there are no rules nor restraints, no matter the place and time." Claudette glared at Wendy, making the Sky Drayon Slayer scared, almost like she's about to cry.
Claudette sighs thinking this wasn't the best time to fight and put her sword away.
"Forgive me, but it looks like we'll have to put our duel on hold." Claudette said.
"Don't worry, we'll get our fight very soon." Laxus said shaking her hand and leaves.
"Hey Laxus, I still want to fight you, so come to South Gate Park tomorrow at high noon!" Natsu said, Laxus didn't replied as he just kept walking.
Claudette felt something in her hand that Laxus shook, she looks down and gasps then quickly smiles.
(Tomorrow, South Gate Park)
"Wow, I still can't believe everyone in town is here for a fight." Elina commented looking around at the park with everyone here.
"Yeah, everyone seems to have some respect for Laxus even though he put the whole town in danger before." Lucy said.
"Well, he has been in the guild longer than us and he's Makarov's grandson, so it stands to reason that they would still welcome him." Leina stated as she and Elina are wearing some normal clothing now.
"I'm so excited, I think Natsu is going to fight him first." Michelle said seeing Natsu doing some stretches.
"Okay, it's almost time, I'm gonna wipe the floor with him." Natsu declared.
"Yeah, him wiping your face on the ground." Gajeel mocked.
"I'm afraid that either of you will get the chance." Freed said walking to the Dragon Slayers with the other Thunder Legions.
"What do you mean do that?" Gajeel asked.
"It's best I show you." Freed hold out a crystal ball and it displays a live-stream image showing Laxus and Claudette at a different location.
"Laxus choose Claudette to be her worthy opponent." Freed said.
"WHAT?!" Natsu and Gajeel shouted at the same time.
"Seriously, Claudette?" Lucy gasped.
"Well, we all know how Claudette can be when she set her mind on something." Lucy chuckled nervously.
(With Laxus and Claudette)
"Thanks for coming." Laxus thanked.
"Well, leaving me a friendly note in my hand how could I say no?" Claudette smiled holding her sword tightly.
"So, you ready?" Laxus asked.
(Music-A Little Faster: There for Tomorrow)
Claudette didn't need to answer that as she dash towards Laxus swinging her sword at him as he leans backwards to avoid the blade and jump back charge at her with a lightning-coated fist, she manages to block the punch with her sword holding her ground though being dragged back a few inches. She pushes the fist away and start swinging her sword at Laxus as he blocks each strike with his arm with lightning bolts on like armor, then grabs the sword and flips Claudette over him slamming her to the ground. Claudette groans in pain a little and saw Laxus's foot about to stomp her on the head, she quickly rolled away so the foot could stomp the ground instead as she jumps back on her feet. She swipe kick Laxus's legs making him trip and tackle him with a shoulder charge then they both throw their fists punching each other in the face.
"Impressive, you're a lot more powerful than I imagined." Claudette complimented.
"Thanks, you're not doing bad yourself, so far." Laxus said before shooting some lightning bolts at Claudette, she deflects them with her sword and charge at him again.
She goes for slashing at him, but Laxus suddenly disappeared in a flash of lightning and appeared behind her striking her back with a strong kick, Claudette was about to fall but regained her balance.
"You can even turn your whole body into electricity?" Claudette surprised.
"Yeah, a little trick I learned to get to some places faster and this." Laxus smirked.
Claudette felt her body move on its own jumping out of the way for a sudden lightning strike from the sky as she now knows that he can make lightning attack from the sky whenever he wants, she dodges a few bolts and blocks one that holding it. She got an idea about using this against him, she channels her sword to absorb the lightning and throws it at Laxus with a mighty scream. Laxus didn't move from the spot he's standing on, he pulls his fist around him and when the bolt got close, he backhand it over him making it hit a tree.
Laxus smiles, haven't felt this excited in a fight since his time against Natsu who managed to beat him, and now he gets a chance to experience this again but on good terms this time.
Claudette throws her sword aiming for his head, Laxus catches the sword between his palms though didn't notice it was a trap until too late to see Claudette running right after she threw the sword and jumps for a double kick to the stomach follow by a punch to the face. She quickly grabs her sword and jumps back several feet away to unleash her ultimate attack.
"Thunderclap" Claudette pointed Thunderclap at the sky and it shoots lightning up for an instant before an even bigger lightning bolt came down at Laxus engulfing him.
"How'd you like the taste of my power?" Claudette asked sarcastically.
(South Gate Park)
"Whoa, did you see that? She got him good!" Natsu excited, wanting to fight her next.
"Man, I was actually worried about this but now I see Claudette is no pushover." Lucy said, feeling proud for her big sister as Elina and Michelle cheers for Claudette.
"Yes, but this battle is far from over." Leina said.
"Indeed, for Laxus has one advantage over her…" Freed paused.
"That he's a Lightning Dragon Slayer, meaning"
(Back to the Fight)
Claudette notices something is wrong, she thought she saw her attack getting… smaller, she looks closely and gasps as her eyes widen.
"Laxus eats lightning." Gajeel finished.
Laxus is seen sucking up all that lightning into his mouth until there was nothing left.
"Thanks for the meal, now let me show you my gratitude." Laxus smirked before he charges up and leans back a little.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar" Laxus fired a big stream of lightning bolt at Claudette who braced herself to the blast. It made contact and causes a huge explosion.
The dust cleared showing Claudette on one knee with her sword impale to the ground to help hold her up with some burned marks on her body.
(Music End)
"(Guess he eats lightning too since he's a Dragon Slayer as he grows stronger the more he eat.)" Claudette thought. "(Not to mention he can use his lightning magic so effortlessly, channeling it all in his sword.)"
Lightning in one's body, that's when Claudette got an idea of realizing that there is something she's been lacking and now will see if she can pull it off. She gets back up despite her body in pain and hold up Thunderclap.
"Oh, still want some more?" Laxus asked exciting.
"No matter how powerful my opponents are, I will not stop fighting until I draw my last breath." Claudette declared as she gets up despite the pain in her body. She charge at him again swinging her sword but could land a hit as Laxus dodges them with ease.
"You got guts, but I think this fight is over." Laxus said before appearing right in front of her.
"Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist" Laxux uppercut Claudette sending her up a few feet and forcing her to let go of her sword.
However, through only a sheer force of will power alone Claudette clenches her fist and look at Laxus shocking him with her glare as she threw a punch that's coated in blue sparks of electricity, strike right on the face pushing him back about 7 feet before falling to the ground unconscious.
Laxus wiped his nose seeing blood in the backhand, he smiles at this.
"You really are a tough bitch, Fairy Tail is in good hands with you around." Laxus said at the knock-out Claudette, he picks her up and head back to town where everyone is waiting for them and celebrate for an awesome battle.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Claudette and Laxus had an epic battle for everyone to see, and Laxus is the winner of the battle as he admits that she could help Fairy Tail become stronger than ever for the seven year absents. It would seem Claudette may have break through her limit for just a moment, the Thunder General is not done growing yet and she'll need that strength when unexpected danger comes.
