A/N: Hello, readers! Welcome to the first chapter!

CHAPTER ONE: A NEW GUILD IS BORN
A twenty-one year old male with spiky black hair and red eyes was running through a town called Roseview. He wore a black shirt with open slits near his shoulders, black pants, and black combat boots. He also wore black gloves on his hands and two black cross earrings on his ears. A black Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his right shoulder. A tan-colored fur female Exceed with black eyes was flying behind him. She wore a green dress and a green bow around her right ear and tail. A white Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on her back.
"Hurry up, Chii!" The spiky black haired male shouted.
"Don't run too fast, Akame!" The Exceed, Chii, scolded her partner.
Akame and Chii stood in front of a dark purple guild building with the name 'TWILIGHT PHOENIX' located on the top with the emblem of a flying phoenix above it. Akame kicked open the doors.
"We're back!" Akame screamed.
"So I heard you went all out on your last job, Akame. Destroyed half of the-" A guild member started to say but he was interrupted by a fist covered in red mist.
"You lied about that Blood Dragon King I'm gonna kick your ass!" Akame shouted.
"It's not my fault! It was just a rumor that I heard while out on a mission!" The guild member said.
"What'd you say?!" Akame yelled as he and the poor guild member started fighting.
"Akame's back?" A seventeen year old male with short, wavy, light purple hair and orange eyes asked. He wore a purple tank top tucked into loose fitting, light blue pants, white boots, and yellow armbands on both of his arms. A white Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his right shoulder.
"Dusk, don't start causing trouble with Akame... again." A navy blue male Exceed with purple eyes said as he sighed. He wore a yellow shirt with no pants or shoes. A purple Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his back.
"I'm not causing trouble, Bruno!" Dusk denied his partners words. He kicked a few guild members aside. "Hey, blood sucker! Let's finish our fight from the other day!"
"Can't you see I'm busy here?!" Akame shouted back, still wrestling with the guild member.
"Fight me!" Dusk said, throwing a punch at Akame.
"You really know how to piss me off, you star breathing bastard!" Akame screamed as the two Dragon Slayers began fighting.
Chii flew down next to Bruno. "Shouldn't we stop them?" Bruno asked.
"Just be glad Ezekiel and Zack are out on a mission together." Chii replied as she sighed, watching the whole guild begin fighting.
"Aly, they're fighting again..." A sixteen year old male with shoulder length feathered white with a blue tip and hazel green eyes. He wore a dark grey v-neck shirt, a green and black flannel neck bandana, a black and blue innerside hood vest, black jeans with a few rips on the right leg, and a pair of dark brown boots. He also wore two silver bangles with black vine engravings on his right wrist and a silver necklace with a silver dragon head with glowing green eyes pendant around his neck. A silvery blue with dark blue lining Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his right arm.
"Julian, they're always fighting..." A purple colored male Exceed with blue eyes replied. He wore a red vest, a silver bangle with black vines engraved in it on his right paw, and silver piercings on his left ear. A teal green Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his back between his wings.
"Listen up, you brats!" A woman around twenty-five years old with long dark brown hair and green eyes shouted from the second floor. She wore a light green cloak with a black crop top underneath, black jeans, and black ankle boots. A light green Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on the right side of her waist. Everyone stopped what they were doing to look at her.
"It's Master Harumi..." Julian muttered.
Master Harumi held up a stack of papers. "These are all the complaints that I've gotten from the Magic Council! Even though we're a new guild, we shouldn't be acting like one! Don't you brats have nothing better to do than to make the Council mad at me?" She scolded.
Everyone was silent, feeling bad for their master. "However..." Harumi used her magic to turn the complaint papers to dust. "Screw the Council!" She shouted. The guild members looked up, shocked that their master had said that.
"Don't let those fools on the Council scare you. Follow whatever you believe in. That's how Twilight Phoenix wizards get things done!" Harumi yelled as everyone cheered in agreement.
Walking through Roseview, the townspeople quickly moved out of the way as soon as they heard familiar boots on the ground. One of the males had feathered scarlet red hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark red cloak with black attire underneath and black combat boots. A blue Twilight Phoenix guild mark was on located on his right arm. He also seemed to be carrying a horn.
An eighteen year old male with black hair beneath his shoulders and blueish green eyes was walking next to him. He wore a black hooded long coat jacket with red flames with a robotic on the back of his jacket. He also wore a pair of black gloves with a blue shell on the back of the hands, a red T-shirt with a wide collar with a white tank top inside, baggy pants, and silver and blue steel toed black boots. His Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his chest. Next to the black haired male, there was a male tiger Exceed with a mane and wore a brown vest.
The three of them opened the doors of the guild as the scarlet haired male loudly dropped the horn onto the ground, making everyone turn to look at them.
"Ezekiel, Zack, Jim! You're back!" Julian exclaimed.
"Akame, I heard you destroyed almost an entire town. Again..." Ezekiel said.
"Leave it up to Akame to cause trouble for the Master." Dusk sighed.
"You're asking for it, star breath!" Akame shouted.
"Bring it on, blood sucking freak!" Dusk insulted. The two of them began fighting once more.
"Stop it, both of you!" Ezekiel shouted, making them stop fighting immediately. Julian just sighed.
"I swear you two fight like a married couple." A nineteen year old male with shoulder length jet black hair with a single red streak and gold eyes commented. He wore a sleeveless black jumpsuit with baggy navy pants. With it, he wore a red belt, navy blue fingerless gloves that strapped down to almost his elbows, and gray boots. A tattered, crimson red scarf was placed over his neck. A red Twilight Phoenix guild mark was located on his right shoulder.
"Good one, Loji." Julian said while laughing.
"We're not a couple!" Akame and Dusk both shouted in unison, both blushing madly.
"I have an idea. Why don't we all go out on a job? You, me, and Dusk. And our Exceeds of course." Julian suggested.
"I don't see why not." Akame said.
"I do need money." Dusk added.
"Perfect! I got a job just for us." Julian informed, showing the flier.
On the train...
"That's disgusting..." Dusk commented as he sat across from Akame, trying not to throw up. Bruno was sitting right next to him while Julian was next to Akame and Aly was on the other side of Julian. Chii was sitting on Akame's lap while he was drinking from a blood bag with his canine teeth sticking out.
"How rude..." Akame scoffed. Dusk's heart thumped when he heard his voice. It was calm and deep. Not the normal raspy and raw voice that Akame normally had. His skin was also no longer pale but tanned.
Julian cleared his throat, getting their attention. "Anyway, about this job. We have to hunt down these wanted criminals who have been causing trouble in a town called Night shade. And we're supposed to attack them and then hand them to the police."
"Sounds easy enough." Akame said.
"I agree." Dusk agreed.
They finally got off the train, and met with their client. They arrived at the hideout where the criminals were hiding. "No one can stop us now!" One of the criminals exclaimed.
"We are quick and fast!" Another criminal stated.
"Blood Dragon's Clotting!" Akame shouted as one of the criminals started kneeling down in pain.
"Star Dragon's Wing Attack!" Dusk rushed forward to one of the criminals, producing a large stream of starlight from each of his arms and hitting them as the criminal went flying.
"Frost Dragon's Roar!" Julian shouted as a mixture of blue ice and white snowdusts come from his mouth.
In a matter of minutes, the criminals were taken down. "Good job, you guys!" Bruno praised. They gave the criminals to the police and collected the reward. As they walked, Akame thought of something.
"We should form a team." Akame suggested.
"A team?" Julian questioned.
"Yeah. We'll be called the Dragon Legion. Since the three of us are Dragon Slayers." Akame replied.
"Well, what about Zack? He's a Dragon Slayer as well." Dusk reminded him.
"He usually goes on missions with Ezekiel. You know those two are like, best friends. Which surprises me since those two never got along in the beginning." Akame replied.
"There you have it! The three of us are the strongest team in Twilight Phoenix!" Julian exclaimed.
"Now, let's go home." Akame said.
"D-Do we have to get on that torture of a train?" Dusk complained as he followed his guildmates to the train station.
A/N: There's the first chapter!
So, I'm kinda playing around with the love interests and relationships a bit. If you don't like the way I'm trying to figure things out, please let me know and I'll change it.
If your OC wasn't introduced, it will be in the next chapter.
Hope you enjoyed!
