A/N: Hello, readers! Another chapter is here!

So it's been confirmed that I have introduced everyone's OC. If your OC did not get introduced you most likely didn't fill out the OC form correctly. Also, I've been asked what the guild emblem looks like. Just look at the cover photo. That's the emblem.

Enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE: DECLARATION OF WAR

Nox sighed to himself as he looked over a spellbook. There had to be some sort of way that he could help Sebastian. It was just him and Raden now. The others have gone to get revenge on Cursed Dragons.

"Raden..." Nox muttered, looking at the Exceed. "I'm sorry... About Sebastian."

"I'm not blaming you." Raden replied. "I'm blaming myself. I promised Vincent I would be there to protect him, and I failed."

"None of us could've seen this happening. I may think the flame brain is annoying. But he holds the guild together. He'll be a great guild master if Master Souta ever decides to retire." Nox admitted.

"Nox..." Raden said as the stone-gray haired male hummed in reply. "What are the chances of Sebastian surviving?"

"I'm not gonna lie to you, Raden. Sebastian's chance of survival is very low." Nox stated. "Even if we do find some way to bring him out of his coma, he will have a permanent disability. I just don't know what."

Raden looks back at his best friend and partner. "Sebastian... Please be all right. You may not realize it. But Black Sun needs you more than ever..."

Meanwhile, the guild doors to Cursed Dragons blasted open, showing Master Souta and the rest of his guild behind him. "Black Sun has declared war!" Souta shouted. The Black Sun members and the Cursed Dragon members came together and started fighting.

"Dino Kings Stomp!" Aster raised his right leg and stomped it on the ground with incredible force. The ground cracked towards his opponents as a golden energy released from the cracks, resulting in a massive explosion afterwards.

"Ice Magic: Frozen Prison!" Kida shouted as she sent out a wave of ice to capture her targets.

"String Magic: Spider Bomb!" Percy yelled as he formed a ball and lobed it at the target. It exploded and trapped them in webs.

"This is Black Sun?"

"They're strong!"

"Master Takumi was crazy to ever declare war against them!"

Up above the ceiling, a nineteen year old male with black hair and green eyes stared down where his guild was fighting Black Sun. He wore a black jacket that hung loosely on his shoulders, a black tank top, black pants, and gray combat boots. A black Cursed Dragons guild mark was located on his left forearm. A white Exceed with black circles around his black eyes wearing nothing but a gray tank top was next to him. A gray Cursed Dragons guild mark was located on his back.

"Hmm... I don't see their Dragon Slayer anywhere, Skull." The black haired male said to his Exceed.

"Maybe he's sitting this one out?" The Exceed, Skull, guessed.

"Haven't you heard, Minato? Rosey ended up putting him in a coma when her and Eric attacked Black Sun." A twenty-four year old male with black hair reaching almost down to his back with a single green streak running through that was tied into a braid and neon green eyes informed. He wore a pair of black hakama pants with green and black faulds worn just beneath his waist, a white rope for a belt, as well as black tassels around his forearms, a gray shoulder plate is tied around his shoulder and he did not wear a shirt. A green Cursed Dragons guild mark was located on his left shoulder.

"Is that so? You were always caught up in the news that's been going on, Daegon." Minato stated. "That's a real bummer though. I really wanted to fight him."

"I'm sure you'll get to eventually. Though, knowing Rosey. His chance at survival is low." Daegon said.

Minato said nothing as he continued watching Black Sun fight his guildmates. "Fight until you can't anymore... lousy scum." He thinks to himself.

Meanwhile...

Sebastian woke up as he was met with dirt. "You're finally awake." He looks up to see another version of him, minus the glasses.

"Vince..." Sebastian muttered, taking a look around. He realized he was back at the Sun Village. Most specifically, Atlas Flame's cave. "Why are we here? I have to get back to my guild. Cursed Dragons attacked."

"You can't." Vincent informed. "You may be awake here. But to the outside world, you're currently in a coma."

"Coma?" Sebastian questioned.

Vincent nodded. "That black haired bitch did some serious damaged to you. She drained almost all of your blood, leaving you in a coma. Nox and Raden are with you in the infirmary right now. The others are fighting Cursed Dragons."

"Why did my mind take me here of all places?" Sebastian asked.

"Your most fun memories were with Atlas Flame and Flare in the Sun Village, correct?" Vincent questioned.

"Of course." Sebastian replied. "Say, Vince. When we met, you told me you were always with me, even before my time in the Sun Village. What were my parents like?"

"I cannot give you that information." Vincent responded as Sebastian frowned. "Your mind made you forget for a reason, you know. They made walls to block that part of your life out. If I gave you the answers you seek, it'll only bring you pain. It was how I was created, after all."

Sebastian sighed. "So you're saying my mind is protecting itself from remembering those memories?" He questioned.

Vincent nodded. "It's best you not remember them. For your own safety." He replied.

Back in Black Sun's infirmary, Nox slammed another spellbook closed. "Damn it... I can't seem to find anything that'll help Sebastian..." He muttered. "Some doctor I am..."

"Don't beat yourself up for this, Nox." Raden reassured him. "You're trying everything you can. Can't you use your Recovery spell?"

"I've already tried that. It doesn't work for situations like this..." Nox responded, standing up and removing another spellbook from the shelf. He sat back down next to Sebastian's bed and began reading.

"You really care about Sebastian, do you?" Raden questioned.

Nox sighed. "Of course I do. He may be annoying and a flaming piece of shit. You can't have Black Sun without Sebastian, it's just not possible." He responded. "If Maxim is our support pillar, then Sebastian is our spirit lifter. He brightens up everyone's mood no matter what we may be going through. And Sebastian will literally kick my ass if he heard this. But without Maxim and Sebastian, Black Sun is nothing. I'm sure everyone else would agree with me."

"Huh, that was really deep, Nox." Raden commented as Nox scoffed in annoyance. "I remember my first time meeting Sebastian, it was after I hatched and he saved me from a bunch of magic criminals who wanted to sell me."

"He's amazing in his own way." Nox stated. "Which is why I have to figure out a way to help him, because if any one of us were in his position, he would do the same for us."

Raden smiled as Nox continued reading. "And you were mentioning how no one cares about you, Seb. If only you can see that the whole guild is fighting for you. You mean a lot to them."

A/N: There we go! I apologize for not updating in forever. I've been busy trying to get situated with college and everything. If there's any battles that you want to see, please let me know.

Hope you enjoyed!
