Nashi jumped back as the Dorma Anim swung at her, and she narrowly avoided it as she stood. She almost faltered, and realized that she was growing weaker by the minute. She clearly had the least energy out of the three of them, but Elise and Drake were panting as well.
"This is getting more ridiculous by the minute" Elise said, panting heavily.
"Does this thing have no weak spot?" Drake demanded angrily. Nashi didn't have the energy to reply, she was doing all she could to stand. She was almost at her limit, and that was not a good thing.
"We'll have too..." Elise trailed off, and cursed under her breath. "Fuck, I don't know. We've tried everything." Nashi managed to stand without using her knees as support and sighed.
"There has to be something we haven't tried." Nashi hissed. "Something, anything." Drake shook his head.
"There is literally nothing we haven't tried." He replied. "Even shit talking, but that just's makes him angrier" Nashi was about to say something when King Simon laughed.
"Foolish Fairies!" he shouted. "I've already told you the Dorma Anim is resistant to your magic! I'll admit, however, that I am impressed with the little bit of damage you've managed to do."
"Fuck off" Elise hissed under her breath. Nashi had to agree with her friend, she really wanted King Simon to fuck off. His whole' invincible to magic you can't beat me' crap was really getting to her.
"Guys," Nashi said warily. "I... I don't have anything left..." She felt Drake's hand on her shoulder.
"Are you sure?" He asked. Nashi nodded. "Well, looks like it's just you and me, Elise" Elise chuckled and stepped in front of Nashi.
"Take a breather, Nashi" She said. "Drake and I can hold him off."
"Are you sure?" Nashi asked weakly. Elise responded by rushing forward and slamming her clubs into the mech ,and Nashi did her best not to collapse. Drake followed Elise's lead and ran forward, punching and kicking the Dorma Anim wherever he could. Nashi watched weakly as they did, a little upset they'd lied to her. She knew perfectly well both of them were almost at their limit as well, but they had far more energy than she did.
"Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" Nashi watched as the snake figurehead of Drake's attack grabbed the Dorma Anim's arm, but King Simon was one step ahead of him, using the poison to slam Drake into the ground.
"Drake!" Elise shouted worriedly, but that was all King Simon needed to use the Dorma's tail to slam Elise into the ground as well. At this rate, we aren't going to win... Nash did her best to stand, but she could barely produce anything but embers. King Simon laughed, and Drake and Elise landed in front of Nashi, beaten and bruised.
"Now," King Simon shouted. "How about I end this? Then, I'll use this amazing invention to kill your families!" Nashi doubted that Fairy Tail wouldn't be able to end this pathetic little army, but they couldn't help them now. Nashi watched as slots opened up on the Dorma Anim's back. Rocket launchers.
"This is really bad" Elise whispered as she struggled to her hands and knees. "Let's hope Erik succeeds" Drake coughed as he sat up, clutching his now revealed arms, as his coats sleeves had been ripped to pieces.
"I gave him the proper dosage." He said. "Let's just hope he manages. He may be our last hope." Nashi nodded weakly as rockets appeared in the launchers, and Nashi came up with a crazy idea.
"Guys," She said. "Get behind me"
"What?" Elise asked incredulously. "Are you insane? You're in a worse condition then we are!" Nashi turned and met Drake's gaze, and her best friend's ears twitched. He chuckled.
"Just do it, Elise" He told the Iron Dragon Slayer. "Nashi's got this." Nashi managed to stand in front of her friends as the rockets launched, and King Simon laughed manically.
"Goodbye, Fairies!"
Erik winced as an explosion rocked the castle. They certainly were aiming to destroy, weren't they? Erik turned the corridor towards the upper floors, and he began to worry slightly. What if his Earthland son hadn't given him the proper amount? He'd have to worry about it later. He had a job to do after all, and if what those kids had told him was true, then he may have been the only hope they had. Erik's mind drifted back to the conversation they'd had before they ran off.
...
Erik stared at the three Earthlanders in front of him who'd pulled him aside from the rush to save Edolas Fairy Tail. He had no idea what they wanted, but it must've been serious.
"What's wrong?" He asked, and Nashi sighed.
"If we're being completely serious," She told him. "There's almost no way we'll win this fight without a trump card."
"Which is?" Erik asked. The raven haired one, Elise, stared back at him.
"King Jellal" She replied. "We need him up and moving, he's the only one who can stop this invasion."
"Who do you plan to fix that problem?" Erik demanded, crossing his arms. His Earthland son chuckled.
"Poison specialist over here" he told him, pulling out a vial of clear liquid. "I've never really toyed with creating anti-venom, but this is what I came up with." Drake threw the vial to Erik who almost dropped it. "Just force him to drink that, and it should combat whatever King Douchebag force fed him." Erik stared at the vial of liquid in shock. "Oh and don't waste it or anything. That took a lot of energy."
"Who did you even make anti-venom?" Elise asked. Drake shrugged.
"Well," He replied. "I guess I just tapped into my ability to eat poison, which made it anti-venom and..."
"Spare us the science lesson" Nashi interrupted suddenly, and the pinkette faced Erik. "We need you to do this, alright?" Erik nodded, pocketing the vial.
"I can do it." he replied. "You guys try and beat him, I'll make sure someone sane can take the throne when that little shit goes to prison." The three of them nodded, and turned to run after their three teammates. "You three better not die beforehand though...
...
Erik approached the chambers of the King and Queen, and the two soldiers guarding them saluted.
"Commander Erik." They said. "What do you need?" Erik stood in front of them and tried not to look suspicious. He knew they only listened to Simon, but he had to trick them.
"I need to see the King and Queen" he told them in his commanding tone, but the soldier shook his head.
"Sorry Commander" He said. "We're on direct orders from Simon that only he and the doctors may visit the King and Queen" Erik did his best to roll his eyes knowingly.
"I know that" he replied irritably. "I'm here by the request of the doctors. They have a new anti-venom they wished me to administer."
"Why aren't the doctors here?"
"Are you serious?" Erik demanded, and stepped forward to smack the soldier in the head. "With the war zone out there making the whole castle dangerous, they didn't want to risk coming up here. I volunteered." The soldier made a face before nodding understandingly.
"Makes sense" He said, opening the door. Erik slipped past the two of them and they shut the door behind him. he sighed as he approached the unconscious royals. Erik had to admit, whatever poison Simon had used must have been potent. He probably was aiming to kill them, though. Erik walked up next to Jellal and stared down at him. The man didn't look any better than when Erik had last seen him in this state. Erik fumbled around with the vial and pulled it out of his pocket, swishing the clear liquid around in it's container.
"Well" Erik said flatly. "Here goes nothing." Erik leaned down and pried Jellal's mouth open, and carefully balanced the vial on his bottom lip. "Let's hope Drake knew what he was talking about." He poured the liquid into Jellal's mouth, and did his best to make him swallow it. Erik heard the King gulp, and he sighed and sat down in the chair across from the bed. "Here's to hoping."
Nashi had to admit, her plan was a little crazy. She planned to bait Simon into shooting the rockets at her, so she could absorb the flames and power up. She hoped, first and foremost, that it would work. That and that they didn't blow her up before she got a chance to eat them. Here's to hoping. She thought as the rockets launched at her and her friends, but Nashi didn't move a muscle. They got even closer, and Nashi tensed. Was this going to work? She didn't know.
"Nashi!" Elise shouted, but the rockets cut her off as they exploded around them, and Nashi felt her entire body get coated in flames. She smiled. Exactly what she planned. Taking a deep breath, she began to eat the fire, absorbing the fire into her system. Nashi felt the fire in her stomach grow, and she laughed as she finished, and King Simon made a confused sound.
"What?!" He demanded. "No effect?!" Nashi grinned at the mech.
"Maybe you didn't know." She replied. "Fire Dragon Slayers power up by eating fire. maybe you should've thought of that beforehand, huh?" Simon growled.
"Of course" He replied. "You are related to Natsu...I should've seen that coming."
"You know my dad?"
"Of course. Did you think I grew up without stories of how amazing your stupid guild was?" Nashi noticed the hint of anger and malice in his tone. Clearly King Simon wasn't a fan. "But, I'm not done yet!" Simon released what looked like a toxic cloud of gas towards them, and Nashi smirked.
"Drake" The Poison Dragon Slayer appeared next to Nashi and repeated the eating process, and the gas cloud was absorbed into his system. he grinned as he wiped his mouth.
"They really have to work on the formula" he complained. "Their poison tastes like shit" King Simon growled.
"Why?" He demanded. "Why does everything I do always get..." He trailed off as the sound of metal being ripped away resounded, and he turned slightly, and Nashi found out why. Elise was ripping out the rocket launchers and eating them, a huge smile on her face.
"I agree with Drake" She said as she jumped away and landed next to Nashi. "It does taste like shit. But not that we've eaten..." Nashi grinned and nodded, fire erupting around her entire body. Drake's arms turned into dark red scaly dragon like arms, and Elise's body began coated in iron scales.
"We're all fired up!" They said together. Drake sighed.
"Did we really just do that?" he asked, face palming. Nashi giggled.
"We'll argue about it later." She told him. "For now, let's focus on kicking Simon's ass." Nashi finished her sentence by rocketing herself at the Dorma Anim, tackling it in the center of it's chest with everything she had. She managed to knock it back and Elise appeared behind it.
"Iron Dragon Sword!" Nashi watched the sword embedded itself in the Dorma Anim's shoulder, and Drake appeared next to her.
"Poison Dragon's Sharp Horn!" He thrust his fist straight through the Dorma Anim's chest and poison began to shoot out of it, King Simon roaring angrily and throwing all of them off, he swung with his blades, but Elise caught it and grinned.
"You ain't all that now" She said, grabbing the blade and swinging the Dorma Anim at Nashi, who was already ready for it.
"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" The fireball sent the Dorma Anim flying right for Drake, who was waiting for his turn.
"Poison Dragon's Twin Fang Thrust!" Utilizing two arms of poison, Drake flung the Dorma Anim out into the royal city, right off of the tower. Drake laughed. "Come on girls." he said. "We aren't done yet." Nashi nodded and followed them as they jumped from the tower, leaping down from the castle towards where King Simon had landed. Maybe we won't need Mystogan's help...
Meredy stormed through the castle with murder clearly her intent. Rather, that's what she made her purpose seem to be. She knew Erik was up at the King's chambers, that's where a guard told her he'd been heading. How could that idiot allow his men to listen to King Simon? Meredy had succeeded in keeping her own men stationed, but Erik had not. She'd seen the backup going to the courtyard with her own eyes. She stepped up the finally step and approached the chambers.
"Move." She told the guards angrily, and they did well by not arguing. She flung the door open and Erik jumped as she did.
"What the fuck is wrong with your men?!" She demanded. "The fuck! Those kids are going to..." Erik laughed, which interrupted her.
"Come down Meredy" He told her. "Everything is fine"
"Everything is not fine!" Meredy shouted angrily. "Those kids can't hold off so many soldiers, are you fucking..."
"Meredy" Another voice called, causing Meredy too squeak in surprise. "We'll have in under control soon enough. Calm yourself." Meredy watched as the figure stepped out wearing a black cloak. She immediatedly dropped to one knee.
"K-King Jellal!" She said in surprise as the previously near dead King stepped toward her. "When...When did you.."
"Just now" he replied. "Commander Erik was informing me of the situation when you arrived."
"S-so you know a-about..."
"About Simon being the one who poisoned Erza and I, seizing emergency power, blaming Nashi and the others, and using that as an excuse to invade Earthland?" Meredy only gulped and nodded, unable to speak. She'd never seen the King in such a state of silent rage.
"W-what will you do, M'lord?" Meredy asked. King Jellal was quiet for a moment, before he sighed.
"I will intervene with the fight in the courtyard" He replied. "They wouldn't dare attack me. As for the Dorma Anim..." King Jellal trailed off as a huge explosion shook the castle. Meredy and the other turned to look out the window as the Dorma Anim sailed through the air and into the heart of the city, a trail off bright red, dark red and black, and gray tailed after it. King Jellal chuckled. "And it appears they have it covered for now. Now," he turned to stride from the room and Meredy and Erik followed him. "Let's go and stop this ridiculous invasion."
The fight intensifies. Hope you guys enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five!
