Back again, with another new chapter! Enjoy!
Drake was pissed. Firstly, he'd never been in so much pain, and when he was in pain he tended to get angry as a defensive response. He was pretty sure he`d broken a rib or two, and that he was more than a little lost.
"Fuck," he hissed as he massaged his stomach. he had managed to prop himself up against the rock wall behind him, and he had his hand over his ribs, feeling the break he knew was there. Drake sighed and blood dripped from his nose onto his pants. He was unsure as to what had happened after he'd blacked out during the crash, but he could only assume he'd been swept away by the undertow of trees and various other objects. Quite honestly, he was lucky he'd only gotten one broken rib, hell he was lucky to be alive. "Where the hell am I?" No one answered him. Drake hissed and rubbed his nose, which stained his hand with blood. "Mavis, I'm in pain..."
"Ah, poor baby." Drake jumped slightly at the voice he didn't recognize, and looked up quickly,trying to find who it was. He should've been listening, he was a fool for not doing so. he watched as a woman, maybe eighteen or nineteen, walked out from the forest and towards him, and their eyes met. She had bright purple eyes and darker purple hair. She had a white cloak covering her body, which separated as she uncrossed her arms, revealing an A-class body in nothing but black shrt shorts and a black tank top. Her eyes widened as she stared at him.
"Who the hell are you?" Drake demanded, doing his best to stand through the pain. Her face reddened and she squeaked.
"I'm...I'm..." She made a weird sound and whirled around, hugging herself. "Damn it Azzie, pull yourself together!"
"Azzie?" Drake asked, and she jumped at the sound of his voice. "Is that your name?"
"Uh...uh..." Azzie whirled back to face him, a combination of serious and nervousness plastered on her face. Truthfully she just looked constipated. Drake didn't have the strength to listen in on her, so he didn't. "I, uh...ugh!" She bounced up and down a little, she looked a little childish.
"Are you feeling okay?" Drake asked. Azzie didn't reply right away, and she played with her hands.
"Um..." She managed, twirling her hair around her finger. "Ahhh, I'm okay..."
"Well in case you haven't noticed." Drake hissed, clutching his stomach. "I'm in a lot of pain, so..."
"Right! shit, alright, um..." Azzie lifted her hands, and Drake's eyes widened. Their, right on her midsection, was the emblem that had been on the cloak Sawyer had retrieved.
"You..."Drake hissed, backing up as she approached him. "You're in that guild that attacked us..." Azzie flinched and looked down at her stomach, where the dark purple mark was. She yelped.
"No no no no no no!" She said, waving her hands back and forth. "I...I didn't, that was Katsuchi and Tetsu...damn them!" Azzie growled and whirled around again, clenching her fists. "Why did they have to be so loyal, doing what they're told...ruining my chances...gah!" Drake watched Azzie argue with herself, he wasn't exactly sure what to do. On one hand, he could attack, and most likely lose, or he could roll with the punches.
"Are you or aren't you?" Drake demanded. Azzie blushed as she turned to stare at him. "I don't have time to watch you argue with yourself, believe it or not."
"Well, I am.." Drake growled and she flinched. "But I was against attacking you and your guild, I swear!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes, I'm telling the truth!" Drake watched her for a moment, before he sighed. He had no idea what to do, and it worried him. Drake watched as she moved towards him, but he backed up instinctively.
""I can't trust you..." Drake hissed, activating his sound magic. "I can hear the truth , you were all for it."
"S-sound magic?" Azzie asked weakly, and Drake nodded, which caused her to redden and slap her own face profusely. "Stop! Stop thinking about it Azzie!" Drake was seriously beginning to wonder what was wrong with this girl, but he had been bluffing about the sound magic.
"Alright, well." Drake rubbed the blood on his hand on his pants and faced her again. "I don't know what you're doing out here, but..." Azzie groaned.
"That's right..." She moaned. "I have orders...eradicate any of the crashes survivors...damn, you're pretty cute too..." Drake did his best to ignore the cute comment and coated his hands in poison, preparing for her attack. Azzie, however, took a more defensive stance. They watched each other for a moment, before Drake decided to attack.
"Poison Dragon's Scales!" He shouted, the projectiles flying true towards their target. Drake watched in astonishment as the scales reached Azzie and she waved her hand. They dissipated into thin air. Silence fell upon the pair. "Uh, that wasn't supposed to happen..."
"It was my magic." Azzie said, whipping her hair out of her eyes. "Dispelling magic completely negates your attacks, so no can do, cutie." Drake flinched as he attempted to move. In his current condition, their was no way he could do a damn thing. A ranged fight had been his last hope due to his current situation, so now he was in an even bigger jam.
"And here I thought you were just a pretty face..." Drake growled, causing her to redden quire furiously.
"S-say what?"
Simon was pretty sure he should have died. When he had awoken after the crash, he was lying on a ledge overlooking a huge cliff, looking out over the forest. he could see the trail that the airship had made during the crash, he could see it from up here, seeing as it had apparently taken a nosedive off of the cliff he awoken on, which was when he'd fallen out. Somehow he'd managed to fall out with little to no injuries, which was good. After he surveyed the crash for a little longer, he stood and began to walk into the forest, hoping to find someone else he could talk too.
"I hope everyone's okay." He said aloud, stepping over a bush as he continued. "It'll suck if anyone died..." Simon trailed off and starred back the way he came, considering just flying down to the wreckage and trying to find someone. Before he could however, he was blindsided by an explosion of dark purple. Flying out of the way, Simon landed and watched as a figure dressed in black stepped out of the darkness. He had dark blue hair and a scar running from his left eye to his right cheek, and his eyes were bright green.
"I would find you, of all people." he said slowly, pocketing his hands. "Opposites attract, I guess."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Simon demanded. The man chuckled.
"Simon Scarlet." he said, and Simon's eyes widened. "Son of Erza and Jellal, uses requip and heavenly body magic." Simon did his best to recover from the completely right information.
"Doesn't take much to know me." Simon said with a cocky smirk. "I'm the son of the Titania of Fairy Tail. My name tends to get around. Besides that, what about that makes us opposites?"
"Our magic." he replied, closing his eyes. "Heavenly body magic, and Hellenization body magic." Simon didn't know what that meant, but he didn't like the vibe this guy was giving him.
"I'm not sure what you're getting at." Simon growled. "But I take it your the enemy. Meteor!"
"Asteroid!" Simon watched in amazement as his opponent not only matched his speed, but surpassed it, speeding ahead of him into the sky and turning downward. "Hell's Wrath!" Twin beams spawned in his hands and roared towards Simon, knocking him out of the air and into the dirt. His opponent laughed as Simon struggled to stand.
"What the hell was that?" Simon demanded. "You out sped me..."
"Everything was an opposite, Simon." His opponent replied. "Good and evil, light and dark, yin and yang, black and white, Heaven and Hell." He raised his hands, a dark aura animating from him. "My Hellenization Body Magic is the opposite of your Heavenly Body Magic. And far stronger, might I add." Hellenization Body Magic? Simon had never heard of it, so he decided to address that.
"Stop bullshitting me." Simon hissed, crawling up to stand on two feet. "I've ever even heard of that magic."
"In terms of magic," he replied. "It's a relatively undiscovered one. You can only find magic's true strength by delving into the very depths of it, Simon." Simon had heard of such talk, his parents always told him about Hades and his research into the depths of magic. This was getting worse and worse by the minute. " however, no one from a legal guild would take the time to look into the true power of the magic they wield, to uncover untold potential. I'm sure all of my preaching is giving you a headache, guildie." Simon growled and clenched his fists, doing his best to formulate a plan. He could still use requip, but if this guy could out speed and outmatch him with magic, what good would that do?
"I don't believe you've told me your name yet" Simon said with a weak grin, and the other man chuckled.
"Of course, pre-destruction formalities." he said, wiping his blue hair out of his eyes. "My name is Icas, you'd do well to remember that while I grind your head into the dirt." Simon laughed genuinely and stood tall, matching Icas' dark look.
"I don't know if you've heard, Icas," Simon said in a deep, threatening tone. "But it's bad for ones health to attack Fairy Tail. Just ask the last Balam Alliance, I'm sure they'd be more than willing to tell you." Icas smiled darkly as his body was enveloped in dark energy. Simon did the same with his own heavenly magic.
"I like you Simon." Icas said as the area around them began to shake, trembling before the raw magic both were exuding. "Maybe I'll keep you around to destroy every once and a while."
"Thing about that is," Simon hissed as their magical aura's disappeared. "I hate being told what to do." Both of them rushed forward and tackled the other, good versus evil, light versus dark, white versus black, yin vs yang.
Heaven versus Hell.
Elise felt the explosion from her distance, even though she was far away from it. She recognized Simon's warm heavenly light, but the other felt cold and evil. he must have found an asshole from the dark guild they were chasing and engaged in combat. Elise smiled at the thought of kicking someone's ass for what had happened. Elise did not intend to allow them to get away with attacking her guild, friends, and family. Then downing Crime Sociere's airship and possibly killing them all. Nope, not a chance for that. Elise wasn't unscathed from the crash, she had a few cuts and bruises here and there, but otherwise she was fine.
"You felt in too, huh?" Elise whirled to find, a man with black hair standing behind her, watching with piercing blue eyes. He radiated trouble, an aura that Elise liked.
"Yeah." She agreed. "Looks like our people have begun to fight." He nodded and cast a glance over at the light and dark light show off in the distance on top of the cliff. Elise had to admit, watching Simon and his opponent tackle each other in mid air was pretty entertaining. "So, you are?" Elise asked, casting him a look. He grinned at her, an actual smile.
"Tetsu." he replied. "You?"
"Elise." She replied, giving him a smile as well. "Devil Advocate?"
"Fairy Tail?"
"Yep/yep" They replied at the same time, and smiled at each other again.
"I suppose that makes us enemies." he said, and Elise nodded.
"I guess it does." She said, taking an offensive stance, Tetsu doing the same. They stared at each other for a minute before Elise charged forward. She attacked with her clubs, but Tetsu grabbed them. Elise watched as he licked his lips.
"Damn, that looks good." he said wistfully. Elise watching amazement as he took a bite, A BITE, of her club, chewing it happily. "I was right!" he proclaimed happily. "Tastes incredible!" Elise stared down at her club with the huge bite mark in it, and looked back at her foe.
"How did you...?"
"I'm sure you as a Dragon Slayer are aware," Tetsu said, finishing his snack. "That slayer-type mages can recover magic power by eating their element." Elise's eyes widened with that information.
"You're..." She managed. "You're a slayer? Of what?" Tetsu grinned widely at her, and Elise didn't return it that time.
"I hate to brag, but..." he laughed, putting his hands behind his head. "My formal title is Tetsu of Devil Advocate, the Iron God Slayer."
And with that, Katsuchi's partner is crime is revealed! I hope you guys enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five!
