So it seems you guys liked Apocalypse, Katsuchi, and Tetsu the most. Not surprising though.
Enjoy!
"Is it gone yet?" Drake slowly looked over the log he and Asuka were hiding behind to observe the problem.
"No." He hissed, slowly falling back down. "It's still wandering around. I told you not to shoot at it."
"You told me that after I shot it!" Asuka cried, "I can't be held accountable for that."
"Why not?" Drake demanded. "You should have known better than to see a huge monster and thing, 'Oh! Let me fire a bunch of rounds at it to see if that pisses it off!" Asuka huffed at Drake's terrible impersonation, looking much like a small child.
"Alright, I get it." She said quietly. "Blame me and we can move on."
"Already did." He replied, enhancing his hearing. "Okay, I think it's on it's way off. Now, can we proceed like adults or do you want to fire at it again?"
"Shut up, Mavis." Asuka hopped down from the ledge they'd been positioned on and Drake followed suit, staying quiet to prevent aggravating her any more. He sometimes had a problem with being to cynical in bad situations, but he couldn't help it. Like humor, it was often his defense mechanism. Cynicism and humor. It was a wonder Drake had any friends at all, honestly.
"So, which way do we go?" He asked, breaking the silence. Asuka's bare shoulders shrugged.
"I don't know." She replied. "You're the one with the killers ears and nose, you tell me."
"Can't." He replied. "Too many weird smells blocking up my sense of smell, and my ears would only pick up all the wildlife."
"What are you Dragon Slayers good for, then?" She asked in a teasing manner.
"Killing Dragons." He replied. "So our claim to fame is killing huge, extinct flying reptiles."
"Sounds pretty shitty to me, honestly." Asuka said.
"Except everyone knows your name." Drake replied, knowing he sounded arrogant. "Only real problem is the fangirls."
"You don't like them?" Asuka asked.
"No." Drake replied, trying to keep his mind off of a certain purple haired girl he'd met a while back. "All they do is cling to me and tell me how awesome I am."
"Again," Asuka said, stopping for a moment as she looked around the area. "Thought a guy like you'd appreciate that kind of thing."
"Mavis, how lowly do you think of me?" Drake demanded, making Asuka giggle. "Besides, I hear how awesome I am all the time, I don't need to hear it from some airheaded girl."
"Yeah, your mom must tell you a lot." Asuka said, sticking her tongue out at him. He chuckled.
"Yeah, my mom does tell me I'm awesome." Drake grew a little serious. "Then again, she can turn into a fifteen foot flying snake." Drake snickered as Asuka shivered. He knew she hated snakes.
"Don't say that." She hissed.
"Sorry." Drake grew silent again as they walked, keeping branches out of his face as they did.
"So," Asuka said. "I hear you and the others...Got into some trouble lately." Drake raised an eyebrow at the back of her head as she looked over her shoulder to look at him. "Something about a dark guild?"
"Oh." Drake replied, thinking back to the incident. "Yeah, we did."
"I hear you fared well."
"Of course we won." Drake said, allowing his pride to seep into his tone. "We're Fairy Tail."
"You're impossible sometimes, you know that?"
"So I'm told."
"I think we should wait it out." Elise rolled her eyes at the asinine comment in her ear.
"We do that, we've wasted even more time." She told Sammy, making him pale. "Besides, it's only a few wolves for Mavis' sake. We can take 'em."
"You can," He said, backing up a little bit. "I'm not good in combat unless it's against another mage." Elise sighed at the terrified look on his face.
"Are you seriously terrified of a few dogs?" She demanded irritably, and Sammy glared at her.
"No, I'm afraid of that pack of wolves." He hissed. "It's different." Elise rolled her eyes and walked out from their bush hiding spot, drawing the attention of the pack. She showed no fear as she walked up to them, keeping eye contact with the one closest to her. She got right up to them and knelt down on eye level, observing the four legged creature. After a moment, the growling died. Elise smiled and patted the wolf on the head a few times, before he and the others in his pack walked away.
"See?" She called back to Sammy. "Easy."
"H-How did you...?"
"It was their territory." Elise replied. "They were trying to scare me off and it didn't work. I earned their respect."
"R-Respect?!" Elise turned to find Sammy walking up to her, furious. "They don't know the meaning of the word respect! They're just animals! Don't you know how utterly stupid you just sounded?!"
"Coming from the guy afraid of a few dogs." Elise shot back, putting her nose in the air. It didn't have much of an effect seeing as Sammy was slightly taller than her, but she didn't care. She could take him any day, but sadly that day wasn't that day.
"Ugh! You don't get it!"
"You're right, elaborate for me."
"The wolves don't respect you! if anything, the'yr afraid of you! They're just stupid animals who..."
*Growl*
Both turned to find the Alpha of the pack standing near the bushes, growling at Sammy, his eyes not leaving the blonde's. Elise smiled.
"Go on, get out of here." She told him, and he began to walk away. Sammy just stood there, awe struck. "Are you going to stand there all day, or can we get moving?"
"...Lead the way, wolf queen." Ignoring what was obviously an insult, Elise continued walking in the direction they had been heading in before Sammy pissed himself at a few wolves. Come to think of it, Sammy was a little bit of a wuss. All he did was complain and complain. Elise could fight dragon mechs or men with the power to slay the Gods above, and her partner for this exam pissed himself at the sight of a few dogs.
"Why did you even accept the nomination for this, anyway?" She asked, the curiosity kill her on the inside. "All you've done is complain and complain about whatever suits your fancy at that moment."
"Just because I get scared like a normal human being doesn't mean I'm useless." He countered, sounding a little miffed. "Not all of us can take anything head on and keep on trekking, Elise."
"Still," She countered his counter, "I can't imagine someone like you on an S-Class job, where death could b all around you. Or are you going to let Rocky carry you to victory?"
"Even if I ever went on an S-Class job, I'd probably fail it anyway." he then chuckled a little bit. "Besides, there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to pass these exams as long as you, Nashi and Drake are in them at any stage. You three are arguably the strongest of the new generation."
"You're discounting people like Damien and Simon." She pointed out. "I can't take Damien in a fight."
"No?" Sammy asked. "Why? Xisplate?"
"No, because Damien rarely shows his full power. Simon too. Push either of them hard enough, and they're bound to pull something out of somewhere." Sammy shrugged at these words and she narrowed her gaze. "What?"
"Nothing." he replied, eyes full of what he wanted to say but didn't have the balls too. "They're already S-Class, and we're not. What I'm getting at it is people like me don't stand a chance with people like you in the running."
Elise didn't like how he seemed to be holding back saying something to her, probably for fear of getting a swift kick to his non-existent man parts. Then again, she knew he was always a bit smarter than she gave credit for.
"YOU INSUFFERABLE PIG!"
"YOU STUBBORN BITCH!"
ROAR!
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" Columns of earth and fire slammed into the gigantic creature, sending it flying across the island and presumably somewhere where it could stay and retell the legend of the hotheaded pinkette and the furious tan skinned man fighting.
"MAYBE IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN TO ME YOU'D REALIZE I KNOW WHERE TO GO!" Rocky shouted, spitting venom more deadly than Drake's in Nashi's face as they argued.
"MAYBE IF YOU STOPPED BEING SUCH A SHIT HEAD YOU'D REALIZE I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!" Both backed off momentarily and took a few deep breaths, stopping themselves before they lost their voices. Nashi didn't see that as a very bad option at this point, actually.
"Just..." Rocky's voice broke her from her thoughts. "can we just follow...The fucking map?"
"Take a minute to smell, Rocky. You smell that?" Rocky sniffed in a few times.
"Ocean?" he asked. "So? We're surrounded by water Dragneel."
"Could you smell it before?" Nashi asked, watching the realization kick in on Rocky's face. "See? I told you I knew what I was doing."
"Just because you went out of your way to piss me off and find a completely different path by shear luck doesn't mean a fucking thing." Rocky nearly shouted in response. "Seriously, what kind of backwards thinking is that?"
"It isn't backwards, I just followed my nose." She replied innocently, covering up for the fact that the many new smells on the island had actually rendered that useless until recently. "Besides, how are you to complain? I got us here, didn't I?"
"That isn't the point." Rocky hissed. "We were supposed to work together to do this, and you threw me under the bus and did it all by yourself."
"And?" She asked. "You said it yourself, the two of us cannot work together, it isn't something we can do. Besides, we'll probably be one of the first three to get there anyway, what does it matter?"
"You know what? Whatever." His sudden lack of caring irritated Nashi a little bit. "Do whatever you like, just let me keep up." Nashi nodded and began to walk away, Rocky following a little bit behind. She could see an opening just ahead, and in turn she assumed that would lead her right to the beach that Laxus had told them about. It was still irritating her he didn't care anymore. Was it his irritation that drove her to keep acting against him? That seemed like her, especially if it came with her and Rocky.
"See?" She demanded, stepping near the edge of the cliff and pointing out at the ocean. "I told you I knew where I was...Kyaaahhh!" The footing underneath Nashi gave out and she fell straight down, right towards a thicket of trees. Just before she made contact, the rocks from the cliff began to float back upwards, taking her with them. Once she made it back up, flat on her ass, Rocky stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching her with a look of snarky indifference.
"Knew where you were going huh?" he asked, tone laced with venomous sarcasm.
"Uh..."
"Watch where you're going next time, Dragneel. I'd hate to be the one to haul your corpse home."
"...Thanks, I think..."
Basically nothing happened today, but sometime you got to have those days, right?
Anyways, yesterday's question got me thinking. Seeing as the most popular villains were Apocalypse, Katsuchi and Tetsu, here is today's question:
If it were Apocalypse vs. Katsuchi and Tetsu, who would win and why? Leave your answers in a review!
Also, I hate to be this guy, but I start my final exams next week, which means I'll need to get off Fanfiction and study. So, sorry if no or little updates come next week.
As always, I hope you enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get ten!
