Simon was glad he had good senses, because if he didn't he'd have no idea what was happening. Blades, bullets, and people flew left and right, and he was currently flying above the battleground to avoid that. He could see his friends helping Edolas Fairy Tail fightback, and he occasionally released an arc of light to help, but he was more looking for the big problems. Seeing a soldier sneaking up behind Ultear, he dove as fast as he could and threw the soldier away, standing back to back with Ultear.
"Having fun avoiding everything?" She demanded as several bullets passed through her liquid body. Simon chuckled.
"A lot more than I'd be having down here, obviously." He replied. "Have you seen Nashi, Drake, or Elise? I haven't seen them yet." Ultear shook her head.
"No, I haven't seen anything yet."
"30 seconds until Dorma Anim activation" Simon growled as the voice announced their biggest problem.
"There's that, too" He said flatly. "Will you be alright on your own?" Ultear chuckled at his question as she launched icicle spears at a squad of soldiers.
"I'll be fine, you go and help someone else." Simon nodded reluctantly and took off towards a few soldiers, landing and taking them out with a few small bursts of light. Simon was reluctant to use up too much magic due too the lack of Ethernano in Edolas. Due to that, if he used up all his strength, that was it, there was no recharging for a while. Because of that, he used the resources around him, such as dropped weapons and such to attack. The more magic he conserved, the better.
"Dorma Anim activation sequence completed." The robotic voice boomed. "Stand by for Dorma Anim" King Simon roared with laughter again from atop the tower.
"It's over, Earthland Fairies!" He shouted as the ground rumbled and the fighting momentarily stopped. "Behold the ultimate anti-magic weapon! The Dorma Anim!" Simon paled, this wasn't good. He turned to find the tower roof opening up, revealing the robotic monster. It was far bigger than Simon had anticipated, it was at least 25 feet tall. It silvery body glowed in the afternoon sun, and it's red eyes glowed upon being revealed to the world. King Simon laughed as the chest cavity opened and he climbed inside. "Now, how about we have some fun?!" The Dorma Anim moved swiftly, and a beam of white energy surged from it's mouth into the middle of the courtyard, throwing up people and debris everywhere.
"Shit!" Damien growled as he landed next to Simon. "What now?" Simon shook his head.
"We attack" He replied. "We have no other option." Damien looked even more pissed off now, and Ultear crawled to them.
"Where the fuck are Nashi and the others?!" She demanded. "They've completely disappeared!"
"They ran this way with us!" Damien replied. "Are you saying they aren't here!?"
"Yes!"
"Fuck!" King Simon laughed, and Simon noted that he, along with the others and Edolas Fairy Tail, had been surrounded in the brief instant since the Dorma Anim's attack.
"Shit," He hissed. "No where to run now"
"We're so fucked." Ultear muttered.
"Now, Fairies, let us carve a memorial made of your bones into this courtyard!" He charged up another blast, and it left the monsters mouth. Simon flinched and closed his eyes, waiting for the end to come.
Nothing happened. Simon looked up, confused. The Dorma Anim's attack had missed, flying slightly off course. Simon looked up at the mech and found out why. A Fireball the size of the beast had pounded itself into it's back. Before anything could happen, the Dorma Anim received a blow to the chest, and flew backwards. King Simon roared angrily.
"What the fuck was that?!" He demanded. "The Dorma Anim is invincible to magic of all forms!" Simon saw a figure fly into the sky behind King Simon.
"Poison Dragon...ROAR!" Drake's attack met it's mark, landing on the Dorma Anim's back. When the toxic attack faded, Simon saw the thrusters had melted. Drake landed next to the other figures and one chuckled.
"Good job on the thrusters, Drake" Nashi said with a grin. Drake chuckled.
"You distracted it for me" He replied. "You guys did better" Elise chuckled as she cracked her knuckles.
"You're to modest, Drake" She growled. Simon watched as the three of them faced off against the Dorma Anim on top of the highest tower of the castle.
"Nashi!" Ultear shouted.
"Elise!" Edo-Levy called.
"Drake!" Edo-Nashi yelled. None of them turned around to face them.
"Stop the invasion" Nashi called. "The Dorma Anim is ours." Simon grinned as he requipped into his Fire Emperor armor.
"He's all yours" He told them as he pointed the blade at the army. "We've got the grunts" Damien laughed as he stood.
"Man, they get to have all the fun" He said.
"Will they be okay with just the three of them?" Edo-Lucy asked warily. Simon chuckled.
"Are you serious?" he asked. "That's a Dragon Knight, they're all Dragon Slayers. They can handle it just fine"
Nashi listened as battle broke out behind them, and smiled. They'd made it just in the nick of time, apparently. Her attack had thrown the beam off course, and Elise thew him back while Drake used his toxic roar to melt the thrusters. King Simon growled.
"Earthland Fairies" He hissed from inside the Dorma Anim. "I would've known you'd show yourselves. Have you come to die?" Drake chuckled as he crossed his arms.
"Die?" He asked. "Nothing so morbid, unfortunately. We're here to kick your ass and save our home." King Simon laughed.
"Kick my ass?!" He demanded. "Sorry to disappoint you, Fairies, but the Dorma Anim is invincible! It cannot be damaged by your petty attacks!" Elise snickered.
"Looks to me that roar did some damage to your jetpack, pal" She pointed out. "Now, stop being so pompous and fight us" Nashi smiled as King Simon growled.
"You will regret the day you challenged me" He hissed as he swung at them with the Dorm Anim's left arm, but they all dodged it and Nashi propelled herself at the mech, punching it in the midsection. She was swung at, but she dodged it as poisonous scaled exploded against his front and Elise slamming her club into it's face, forcing it back. Another beam of energy left it's mouth, and Nashi jumped back away from it.
"Fire Dragon Roar!" She shouted and the gout of flame met the Dorma Anim's front, leaving it steaming. Drake jumped up behind it.
"Poison Dragon's Twin Fangs!" Two fang like attacks launched from his hands and struck the Dorma Anim in the back, but it didn't falter whatsoever. It turned to attack Drake, but Elise was already ready.
"Iron Dragon's Hard Fist!" She yelled, her fist turning gray as she punched the Dorma Anim's leg, leaving a dent as it buckled and missed Drake slightly. "Damn" Elise said, backing up next to Nashi. "This thing is hard as fuck"
"All the more fun to break then" Nashi replied. "Let's go!" She and Elise charged again.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
"Iron Dragon Club!" As they attacked it mercilessly, Drake climbed up onto his shoulder, waving and smiling like an idiot at the eyes before he threw his own punches at the Dragon Knight.
"Gah!" King Simon shouted. "Get the fuck off of me!" He spun his arms and upper body, throwing them all off.
"Our attacks aren't doing all that much" Drake noted as they stood up.
"We can't let him beat us though" Elise replied. "This isn't a battle we can lose."
"Agreed." Nashi said, smiling at her friends. "Let's make this a great story to tell when we get back, alright?" Drake snickered.
"Great story?" He asked. "So I do everything and you two bow in the presence of my awesomeness?"
"In your dreams, Poison Breath" Elise replied. "I'll get him, you two hang back!"
"Over my dead body!" Nashi smiled as she rushed with them again. Drake jumped to eye level with it. "Poison Dragon Spiral Jaw!" His kick connected with it's face, pushing it back slightly as Elise jumped up.
"Iron Dragon Sword!" She shouted as she slashed at the midsection of the beast, but her attacks bounced off uselessly. Nashi ran up next to it.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" She slammed the fireball into the Dorma Anim, and it disappeared into a smokescreen. Nashi waited with bated breath for the result of their attacks. She paled when it reappeared, barely damaged at all.
"Seriously?" Drake demanded. "It's barely hurt at all!" Elise massages her fist.
"It is resistant to magic" She said. "It's no wonder we aren't doing an damage to it."
"We need to be careful, guys" Nashi said when she finally realized the level of fatigue she was at. "There's no Ethernano in the air to recharge us in Edolas, we can't use to much magic"
"While we're at it" Drake said angrily. "Why don't we give him wings? Just for the hell of it" King Simon roared with laughter.
"Foolish Earthland Mages!" He shouted. "I've already told you the Dorma Anim is impervious to your magic! You cannot win this battle!"
"Take your stupid speeches and shove them up your..." Elise's insult was cut off when a blast impacted her in the chest, causing her to fly back.
"Elise!" Nashi shouted worriedly. Drake growled, poison coating his hands.
"Poison Dragon Scales!" The attack landed and the Dorma Anim seemed pretty undamaged by it. "This is insane" he hissed as Elise rejoined them. "If we can't damage i with magic what do we do?"
"Punch it until it breaks!" Elise shouted. "Then rip the King out of the cockpit and kick his ass too!" Before either of the other Dragon Slayer's could comment, Elise took off towards him, launching several different attacks.
"She's impossible" Nashi said face palming.
"She's got the only plausible plan, though" Drake replied. "Come on, we can't let her do all of the work." Nashi nodded and ran at the Dorma Anim again, preparing another attack, feeling her magic reservoir emptying. We have to take it out soon, I'm losing my strength from all the fighting I've already done here...
Ultear knew the battle was practically already won, but she still had to beat up the remaining soldiers who thought they could win, which was rather ridiculous.
"Water Nebula!" She shouted, and the torrent of water washed away another squad. Ultear paused to take a breath, she was running out of energy. She'd been senselessly attacking anyone with the Edolas seal somewhere on their body, and it had taken it's toll on her magically. She barely had enough strength left for a few bubbles, and that wasn't good. Thinking quickly, Ultear switched back to a solid body, knowing full well keeping her body in it's water state constantly drained her magic. She felt a little magic return as her body solidified, but it wasn't much. She backed up and was met with Simon's back.
"You doing good?" he asked.
"Feeling the burn" She replied. "I don't have a lot of magic left" She saw a blade appear in front of her, and turned to look at him. "And I don't know if you remember our sparing sessions, but But I'm shit with a blade"
"It'll have to do," He replied. "If you take too long to rest, they'll kill you" Ultear smiled wryly.
"I'd so make you explain that to my mom" Ultear replied as she took the blade from his hands. "I'd love to see that" Simon chuckled.
"I'm sure you would, from your hole in the ground." Ultear's smile faded as they were attacked, instantly getting separated. Ultear was, as she had said, not very good with a blade, but she instantly could see she was on par with the soldiers, who she either disarmed or knocked out. She didn't say for her teammates, but she wasn't aiming to kill any of them. When she cleared a path, she could see Steph fighting a few soldiers. She paled when she saw one sneaking up behind her, blade aimed to stab her right through the chest. The soldier swung, and Ultear heard the girl's name leave her mouth.
"Steph!"
Damn, another cliffhanger? I'm the worst! ;) Anyway, make sure you leave a review, let's get five!
