A/N: Hello, readers! Welcome to a new chapter!

A new OC guild story called Black Sun is going to be out soon. I know I promised that I wouldn't make another one. But here we are. (I got bored, this is what quarantine does to me, oops)

Enjoy!

CHAPTER FIVE: AKAME & ZACK VS QUARTZ & XANON

Meanwhile, Akame was walking around the Horned Serpent guild hall with Chii next to him. He spotted Zack walking up the stairs with his Exceed, Jim Liger, next to him. "Oh, Akame. You're okay." Zack said walking up to him.

"Of course I am. You didn't think I'll be defeated by just a simple spell, right?" Akame asked.

"Says the one who lost during our fight." Zack replied, chuckling a bit.

"It was that one time! Plus, I was weak. I didn't touch a drop of blood in weeks when you challenged me." Akame said.

"Excuses." Zack said.

"Well, what about you and Ezekiel? You two were constantly fighting in the guild when you met." Akame reminded him.

"That's because he didn't like me." Zack commented.

"Only because you constantly were bragging about how great you were." Akame said.

"That's in the past. Ez and I are best friends now." Zack said.

"Look what we have here, Quartz. Two phoenixes who are lost." A twenty year old male green hair that was in a lower ponytail and red eyes said. He was shirtless but had a black and green line and fur vest, black and purple forearms, white baggy pants, black boots, and wearing a necklace around his neck. His Horned Serpent guild mark was located on his left shoulder.

"Seems like it, Xanon." Quartz replied, joining his guild mate as Peridot was next to Quartz.

Akame and Zack got into a fighting stance. "I'll take Quartz, I got a grudge against him. You seem like you can hold your own against Xanon." Akame said. Zack nodded in agreement as they headed towards their opponents with their Exceeds on the sidelines.

"Blood Dragon's Wing Attack!" Akame shouted as streams of red mist headed straight for Quartz.

"Fafnir Strength: Diamond Shield!" Quartz yelled as he created a diamond dome around him, blocking Akame's attack.

"So, where's that Nature-Make mage?" Akame asked.

"He's resting. Though, you won't be able to find him." Quartz replied.

"Like I have any interest in your loverboy." Akame teased.

"Tch, I don't love him." Quartz denied his words.

"Yeah, yeah. And I don't have feelings for a light purple haired idiot in my guild." Akame rolled his eyes. "Wait, did I just admit that?"

Zack and Xanon were staring at each other. "Who would've thought I would go against the son of Mavis and Zeref. The question is, why are you in a weak guild when you should be in your mother's guild, Fairy Tail?" Xanon asked.

"Only a few people know about that. So how do you know about it?" Zack asked.

"I have my ways, Orion. Or should I say Dragneel." Xanon replied.

"Azure Dragon's Roar!" Zack shouted as blue light blasted from his mouth.

"Poison God's Bellow!" Xanon shouted, black poison coming out of his mouth and countering Zack's attack.

"Well, this will be fun." Xanon commented, smirking as he did so.

After his fight with Riku, Dusk decided to walk around the Horned Serpent guild hall to see if any of his guild mates needed help. He spotted a girl with long, wavy, light purple hair and decided to follow her.

"I knew you'd follow me..." Dawn said as she turned around. "It's been a while, hasn't it brother?"

"It has, and I must say, I'm insulted that you never looked for me." Dusk stated.

"After our town was attacked by that dark guild, I couldn't find you. I thought you were dead, Dusk." Dawn said, hugging her brother.

"Why join Horned Serpent then?" Dusk asked.

"Master Yua took me in after feeling my magical energy." Dawn replied. "I do Take Over magic."

"You know, you can always come to Twilight Phoenix after this whole war is over." Dusk offered. "It'll be nice to be with my sister again."

They both pulled away from the hug. "I'll definitely think about it." Dawn told him.

"Let's catch up, yeah?" Dusk said. Dawn nodded in agreement as she followed her twin somewhere where they won't be disturbed.

"Crystal Dragon's Roar!" Quartz shouted as sharp crystal shards from his mouth were flying towards his opponent. Akame landed harshly onto the ground.

"Akame!" Zack yelled worriedly at his comrade before he was hit with a blast of black poison, joining Akame on the ground.

"This is a disappointment. I would've thought Twilight Phoenix's two strongest wizards would put up more of a fight." Xanon grunted as he placed his foot on Zack's head. "Guess I was wrong."

Akame pushed himself up as he coughed up blood on the ground. He was used to it. "Blood Dragon's Raging Fist!" He shouted as his right fist gets covered in red mist as he heads towards Quartz.

"Crystal Dragon's Spear!" Quartz yelled as he turned his left arm into a spear and threw Akame backwards once more.

"Azure Dragon's Shock Waves!" Zack locked his hands together in a tight fist and swung them down onto Xanon, smashing him into the ground and creating a massive shock wave that could be felt throughout the guild hall.

"Akame..." Chii looked at her partner worriedly. While Jim was cheering for his partner, she looked at hers with concern. Akame was breathing heavily as he stayed on the ground.

"I'm getting bored, Ketsu. Aren't you supposed to be the Blood Dragon King? The ace of Twilight Phoenix? Tch, what a joke." Quartz taunted.

Xanon got up weakly from the ground. "Poison God's-" He started to say but was interrupted by Zack punching his fist in his face.

"It's about time I end this." Zack stated. "Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Yin Yang: Exploding Void's Blades!" He engulfted his hands to make a black sphere as he runs at Xanon. He hits him with the sphere, knocking Xanon out cold.

"Never would I expect Akame Ketsu to be so weak... I'm disappointed. No wonder everyone in your life always leaves. You're not good enough." Quartz continued to taunt him as he stayed still on the ground.

"He's right... I'll never be good enough. That's why everyone left me. My parents, my little sister, and Ketsu... I'll never be good enough for him..." Akame thinks to himself.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing laying down there, blood sucker?!" He heard a familar voice in his head say.

"Dusk?" He thought.

"Yeah it's me! You're really going to let this teal blue haired bastard talk to you like that? You're stronger than this, Akame. Show him that he's messing with the wrong Dragon Slayer!" Dusk exclaimed.

Akame smiled. He finally got the courage to stand up. Quartz looked at him boredly. "Oh? You still have enough strength to stand? You're only digging your grave deeper into the ground." Quartz said.

"That's where you're wrong. Your first mistake was to underestimate my guild." Akame started to say. "Your second and last mistake was underestimating me."

"W-What?" Quartz stuttered.

"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Blood Clot!" Akame shouted. Quartz suddenly kneeled down in pain as he was being attacked from inside of his body. He laid on the ground, unable to fight.

Akame started to fall to the ground from the loss of magic power but Zack caught him before he hit the ground. "You're an idiot, you know that right?" Zack told him.

"Yeah, I know." Akame said. "Hey, Zack. After this whole war is over, I want a rematch with you."

"Rematch?" Zack questioned.

"Mhm... I've gotten stronger since you've battled me." Akame replied.

"I accept then. Be prepared to get your ass beaten again." Zack said.

"Just don't cry when I end up beating you." Akame told him, chuckling as he did so.

Meanwhile, Harumi was walking to the throne room. Where she knew that Yua would be. She entered the room to find a woman with long firey red hair and brown eyes. She wore a blue tank top, black pants, and black combat boots. A red Horned Serpent guild mark was located on her right shoulder.

"Harumi, I knew you would come looking for me." Yua stated.

"What's your deal with attacking my guild, Yua?" Harumi asked.

"We've always had some sort of rivalry when we were children, right Harumi?" Yua asked, ignoring her question. "Frankly, I don't have a problem against your guild. I have a grudge against you, and I know hurting your precious brats would affect you."

"Starting a pointless war just because of some stupid rivalry?" Harumi questioned.

"Well, it didn't start out as a war. We just needed that Blood Dragon King that was in your guild to heal Daisuke. The war is something you started." Yua replied.

"My guild values family. If you take one of our family members, then you deal with all of us." Harumi informed.

Yua snorted. "That was the problem with you. You always cared about taking in mages and giving them a home." She said.

"Like you're any better?" Harumi challenged.

"I give people a chance for revenge if they need it." Yua spat back. "If you like, I can show you exactly who you're up against."

"If that's what you want, fine." Harumi said, getting in a fighting stance.
