Hi guys, Novablade here again. I hope you guys enjoyed the previous chapter. Hopefully i did ok with Wendy's fight, I'm not exactly the best at intricately describing fight scenes lol. I do ok in generalizing them, just not detailing the fights piece by piece like some of the more talented writers on this site.I'm sure all of you are wondering what this new type of slayer I mentioned last chapter will be, stay tuned to find out. I made a mistake with one of the oc's though. since devil slayer hasn't been introduced yet, none of the oc's are demon Slayers.
Since God Force hasn't really been teased in the FT universe, I'll put my own spin on it in this story. And as I stated previously, no saint Seiya characters will appear in this story there are simply elements of saint Seiya in this story. If you haven't already guessed, Mira's pairing will be with Shoryuu. That leaves Laxus, here are his options: Honoo, Mist, Yukikaze, and Lisanna. Thinking about characters that didn't get a whole lot of screen time... there is Kinana. And I like what Mataras who wrote Saiyan Tail did with her, so I may pair her with an oc who's been waiting in the wings so to speak.With Laxus I'm more leaning towards either Honoo or Yukikaze, but if you guys leave a review of who you like out of the options I may change my mind.
Anyways, enough from me. Onto the story! If you guys would be so kind?
Wendy: Sure! Novablade 67 does not own Fairy Tail or Saint Seiya and the characters from the aforementioned series.
Koga- He only owns the oc's that appear in this story. Be sure to leave a review on the poll for Laxus's pairing in the story.
Wendy: We'll see you guys at the end of the chapter to preview what's next! Please, enjoy the story.
Chapter 5- Battle of Dragons; Natsu and Gajeel vs Sting and Rogue
The grudge match between Fairy Tail and Sabertooth had begun. Up in the Dragon's Dawn section of seating, there was Yukino, the former celestial Wizard of Sabertooth. She'd been cast out of her dream guild and had been forced to remove her only pride as a guild affiliated wizard. Thankfully, Skye had found her after she told Natsu her situation. The Auburn haired wizard had been just as disgusted with Sabertooth as Fairy Tail was.
They offered to take care of her until she could figure out what to do next. The silver haired wizard was surprised though, she never knew a guild as caring and strong as Dragon's Dawn had even existed until now. Honoo came up to her and greeted her with a friendly smile.
Honoo- You hate them for what they did to you?
Yukino- n-no! I could never, Sabertooth was always the guild I dreamed of joining since I was little. Guess I just wasn't good enough..
Mist- Now, that isn't true at all miss Yukino! True, you made a mistake by gambling your life and got pretty cocky.. but hey, mistakes happen. No one's perfect. That certainly isn't something to get tossed out of a guild for.
Honoo- mist is right. You made a mistake, so now you learn from it. We'll get you back on your feet in the meantime and make double sure that Sabertooth pays for what they did to you.
Yukikaze- True. That master of their guild especially. While we cannot condone his actions, there's such a thing as crossing the line too far.
Both Yukikaze and Mist then let feral grins cross their faces as they let their power leak out just enough for Jiemma to feel it. Others in the stands like Max, Kazuma, and Koga who was watch the match with Wendy all made sure Sabertooth's master felt the bloodlust directed towards him.
Minerva started smirking until she felt the Guild Master's Magic power. Reynar was glaring straight at her, a menacing look filled with disdain towards her especially. She could have sworn that she made out a creature with Flaming Emerald green eyes and long horns that angled outward and downward toward its neck and mouth. It's body was wreathed in shadow and emerald colored flame, giant wings on its back, and was even larger than a dragon!
The spectral beast roared at her with its maw wide open, displaying the emerald green light deep in its mouth. It's breath was like blistering heat, but the pressure from its presence was like a pure wave of fear. She felt herself sweating and gasping for air as he quickly averted his gaze.
"w.. what in the devil was that thing?! ," Minerva thought panicked and clearly shaken by what she saw.
But when she looked towards the Dragon's Dawn Guild, all of them had that same frightening creature behind them.. just different colors. She figured that had to do with the particular element each member used. When she locked eyes with Max though, the creature behind him was like the one she saw mixed with a Dragon, but was humanoid in shape surprisingly. It was white and red, but had the scales and face of a Dragon, but the body and horns of that shadowed creature she saw.
Jiemma saw the same thing and became afraid, although he never showed it. He couldn't show fear, that'd be the same as admitting Sabertooth had lost to Dragon's Dawn. The Fairy Tail Guild seemed to notice the glares their temporary allies were directing towards Sabertooth. Makarov raised an eyebrow in question before Mavis tapped Derek on the shoulder. The man noticed the hand on his shoulder and turned towards the spectral being most couldn't see. He smiled at her kindly, the girl returning the gesture seeing the man recognized her.
Derek- Master Mavis., good to see you again.
Mavis- Ah.. Derek, it's been awhile hasn't it?
Derek- indeed it has. What can I do for you, first master?
The girl's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. Her mouth locked into a thin line that matched how serious she was.
Mavis- What's going on between you and Sabertooth?
Derek- We're simply letting them know of our intentions and how serious we are. We won't be plating any of their games, it's time they learned just how badly they've screwed with the wrong guild. Jiemma especially. Our Intel suggests that he's in league with the last remaining member of the Baram Alliance.
Her eyes widened as she realized what this could potentially mean. Makarov was shocked as well, Derek had never told him that their Intel had been able to dig up that amount of info.
Mavis - You mean them?
Makarov- The bookshelf of Zeref...
Derek- Yes. The gatekeepers of the Underworld... Tartaros. We believe Jiemma is possibly in league with them.
Mavis- Have you any proof of this claim?
Makarov- First Master, I believe Derek. He wouldn't be saying something like this without any proof. He wouldn't lie about something this serious.
Mavis eyed Makarov for a moment before looking to Derek. She could tell that Derek wasn't lying, he was being serious. Taking a deep breath, the blonde girl responded.
Mavis- If what you're saying is true Derek.. That's more than a little disconcerting.
Derek- Trust me, I know master Mavis. My Guild and I will keep a close eye on Jiemma and Minerva. If Jiemma is a part of Tartaros, we have some capable allies who won't hesitate to join the fight.
Makarov raised a curious brow at this, he'd have to ask Derek what he meant by that later. He'd never heard of this before now. The three of them all returned their attention to the match below.
Derek- Hm.. if We're right about this issue with Jiemma, it'd make sense why Sabertooth is operated like it is. Also, I think the Alliance would jump at the chance to take down the one dark guild that's evaded us for so long.
Reynar noticed the look on his longtime friend's face and pondered for a second on his words before speaking up. He never liked seeing friend with such an ominous look on his face.
"I know what you're thinking, Derek.," Reynar said decidedly serious.
His friend looked at him for a second, but then back to the match. He allowed his oldest friend to voice his thoughts.
Reynar- You're right of course. If we were to take out the leader of the Baram Alliance, Sylverant definitely would notice. We can take action, you and I can't be so heavily involved with that unless no other option remains. It would draw too much unwanted attention from the Empire.
He paused, letting his words sink in for a few moments before Derek finished his thought.
Derek- Cause if you and I are too much involved, Sylverant may make their move in the chaos. And Fior- er rather Ishgar is ill prepared for an invasion from a country that size and strength.
Reynar- Exactly. Let's let the young ones handle that. They've proven themselves before, now's their chance to really enforce to Alvarez that there's an even bigger threat to the world than Zeref, the etherious, or Acnologia.
Derek nodded as their attention returned to Fairy Tail and Sabertooth's match.
Natsu skidded back after a blow from sting, likewise Gajeel was sent flying into the fire Dragon Slayer from blow by Rogue. And like classic rivals, they argued about it.
Natsu/Gajeel- Out of my way!
Sting- Should you guys really be arguing right now?
Rogue- You're boring us.
After another sequence of beating by Sabertooth's Dragon Slayers, Natsu and Gajeel decided to finally take things seriously. The two fairy tail wizards grinned and finally decided to put their differences aside for the moment.
Natsu- I think we need to quit playing around, metal head.
Gajeel- Yeah. It's getting real annoying being tossed around by these guys. Let's show 'em that no one looks down at fairy tail, Salamander.
Natsu- I'm all fired up now!
Gajeel- gee hee! Time to take the kiddy gloves off!
Thinking this was just bravado, Sting and Rogue went to charge them. Faster than the twin dragons could blink, Natsu and Gajeel had switched places. After the initial rush from Natsu, Gajeel surprised sting but suddenly coming from behind the pinkette and hitting him with one of his favorite attacks.
Gajeel- IRON DRAGON...
Sting- Heh come on that won't wor-
Gajeel- HARD FIST!!!!
Sting had been getting ready for a breath attack only to be punched by Gajeel and sent back several feet and skidding in the dirt from the blow. He wasn't expecting an attack of that nature from Gajeel of all people, so when he was hit by the iron Dragon Slayers attack.. it hurt... a lot.
Rogue on the other hand was constantly turning into shadows to avoid Natsu's attacks. Getting annoyed by how much Rogue was moving around, Natsu set the space around him on fire. This caused Rogue to pop out of his shadow because of the heat, that's when he struck. Natsu lunged at him with an iron fist expecting Rogue to counter with a slash attack. He did so, Natsu grinned at this.
Natsu- FIRE DRAGON...
Rogue - SHADOW DRAGON SLASH!
The Fire Dragon Slayer had a wolfish grin, Rogue fell for the bait. In a quick move, he suddenly switched positions on the Shadow Dragon Slayer. The pinkette used his agility to quickly close the distance between him and Rogue before slipping past his guard, making the black haired slayer's eyes widen in surprise.
Natsu- GOTCHA! FLAME ELBOW!!!
As soon as he said that, he elbowed Rogue hard in his gut. A grunt of pain later Rogue was now tumbling into the dirt alongside Sting. Not wasting any time both Slayers built up magic power before unleashing their breath attacks.
Natsu- FIRE DRAGON...
Gajeel- IRON DRAGON...
Sting and Rogue tried getting up, but to no avail as they were then assaulted by blistering heat and shards of iron simultaneously.
Natsu/Gajeel- ROAR!!!!!
The combined breath attacks slammed into both Slayers, creating a sizable explosion. Still.. Both Slayers were able to stand up, badly bruised, but still very much in the fight. Both rose to their feet, their amused expressions gone, it was time to get serious. The white markings on Sting stretched from his guild mark towards his face as his hair became a little more wild. The sudden shift of force caused Natsu and Gajeel to momentarily shield their eyes.
When it was finished, both sting and Rogue stood there in a transformed state. At Fairy Tail's cheering section, the ghost of Mavis recognized the spell they used. It was the Dragon force. Laxus began to explain why 2nd Generation Dragon Slayers were so powerful. Apparently due to the magical Lacrima inside of them, they grew in power just as the Lacrima inside them did. But these two had the Lacrima and were trained by Dragons, this made them 3rd generation Dragon Slayers. Rogue had a similar appearance to Sting, except his markings were black.
Sting walked forward and smirked, flinging his arm backward to tell Rogue just to sit tight.
Sting- Rogue, hang tight. I'll take care of these two. They're no threat anyways.
This irked both Fire and Iron Dragon Slayers, and the charged towards sting. They alternated blows in succession to try and score a hit on Sting, but to no avail. Sting overwhelmed them. One shift in strategy did have them scoring at least a few good hits on Sting though. After being launched Skyward, Sting gathered his magic and released a large breath attack of plasma .
Sting- WHITE DRAGON... HOLY BREATH!!!!!
The enormous beam of Plasma slammed into Natsu and Gajeel, causing the stadium floor to cave in and reveal a chasym. Natsu and Gajeel fell down as Sting chased after them. Igniting his magic under his feet Natsu shot back up to bash Sting.
Natsu- FIRE DRAGON.. SWORD HORN!!
The Fire Dragon Slayer shot back up and bashed sting headfirst in the gut. Gajeel then Prepared his magic and unleashed his breath attack.
Gajeel- IRON DRAGON.. ROAR!!!
This forced Sting back towards the ground as he landed on all fours to break his fall. He easily took on the blows of Natsu and Gajeel, even overpowering them at times. Rogue jumped in and the two began to pummel the wizards of Fairy Tail. Koga didn't like it, he could tell Wendy was worried. He put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. She was surprised with the gesture at first, but eventually relaxed into it. Wendy looked over to Koga, she could tell he was angry with Sabertooth. He was gripping the railing so hard, that it was beginning to crack just from his grip.
Sting spread his hands out and summoned more of his holy magic. It was the size of a melon at first, but then continued to grow larger and larger until he felt that he had enough magic gathered.
Sting- The piercing light of the white Dragon envelopes all... HOLY RAY!!!!
Countless arrows of light bombarded the two Slayers as they crashed to the earth. Getting back up they attacked sting again, after a bit if difficulty,.due to their injuries.
Another exchange of blows followed and the fairy tail wizards were now face first in the dirt and beaten. It appeared Sabertooth had won, Fairy Tail had lost. He held his arm up in triumph, however... That celebration was short lived, the fight wasn't over just yet.
Natsu- Hey man, don't go counting us out yet.
Gajeel- You'll regret doing that.
Sting- What?! How are you two still up?
Natsu- We have our ways. And besides, we've figured out a pattern to your attacks now.
Rogue- ... tell us then. What's this pattern you see?
Natsu- Well for instance, when you attack, you turn your foot at 11:00.
Gajeel- No it was 10:00!
Natsu- shut it, metal head! It was definitely 11!
Gajeel- I'd be willing to go up, but no more than 10:30!
From there it just divulged to Natsu and Gajeel fighting each other over who was right in this situation. Sting and Rogue couldn't help but to sweatdropp at the scene before them before thinking:
" Are these guys for real?" they thought deadpanning.
After a comical fight in a dust cloud, Natsu pushed Gajeel into a mine cart.
Natsu- You're annoying me! Off you go!
Gajeel- oi! Salamander, what the crap?!
The cart began moving, which triggers his motion sickness as it falls beneath the arena. Natsu then grins like an idiot, knowing his annoyance is gone and he can now focus.
Sting- What the-?! Don't you need his help, Natsu?
Rogue- Gajeel.
Natsu- Nah. Don't worry about him, he'll be fine. I can handle you guys by myself. Bring it you two.
Sting and Rogue engage their Dragon force again, but Natsu isn't moving this time like he was previously. Flashes of his Guildmates and friends coursed through his mind as Natsu delivered blows far stronger than previously seen.
Natsu- This is for my friends, who were laughed at and embarrassed while we were away!
With each blow, Natsu was soon outclassing sting and Rogue, much to the delight of Fairy Tail and Dragon's Dawn while to the horror of Sabertooth. Rogue skidded, damaged as much as Sting from a suddenly more powerful Natsu.
Rogue- SHADOW DRAGON... ROAR!!!!
A dark colored beam of shadow raced towards Natsu, who simply whipped around and shredded the attack with his own breath attack. As they continued to fight, Sting was growing confused. How? How could he be matching their Dragon force so casually? This was the power he used to kill his own Dragon, a fact that he was sure to emphasize to Natsu. Natsu's grin fell at this and he donned a serious expression then. Natsu seemed to only be getting more powerful, the more he exchanged blows with the Dragon slayer's of Sabertooth.
Beaten badly, but still refusing to give up they brought forth their magic power to the maximum until it briefly disappeared. Then, it reappeared as a small white and black ball of magic they promptly shot a darkly colored beam of light at him to finish him.
Sting/Rogue- HOLY SHADOW DRAGON... FANG FLASH!!!!
Natsu- Then, I'll show you the power of FAIRY TAIL!
He crouched and cupped his hands before summoning his magic. It manifested as a Dragon of fire before he cast the spell that'd finish the match.
Natsu- DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART: CRIMSON LOTUS EXPLODING FLAME BLADE!!!!
Natsu's attack shredded through the oncoming spell and enveloped the Sabertooth wizards in flame before a large explosion rocked the arena. Boom!
The magic was too much for the Lacrima screens to handle because the shorted out for a moment before they were able to be fixed. As soon as they were back up, everyone aside from Fairy Tail and Dragon's Dawn got the shock of their lives. Sting and Rogue were on their knees before they fell over face first, defeated.
Sting- Lector... I'm ... sorry we couldn't beat him. He's... too strong...
Rogue- Froche, I'm sorry too. Natsu Dragneel... You are indeed... more than we expected...
Chapati- I... I... don't believe it! Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail has won! He's taken down the twin dragons of Sabertooth!
The crowd erupted into cheers at Fairy tail's victory. Even the Dragon's Dawn Guild was happy Natsu won. Over at the railing, Koga relaxed himself breathing a sigh of relief. He knew Natsu could win of course, but that was way too close for comfort. Wendy saw Koga relax and it made her happy. Koga then did something unexpected, he hugged her out of sheer joy.
Koga- I'm happy for you, Wendy.
Wendy- U-Umm t-thanks?
Wendy's face lit aflame as she realized how close she was to Koga. She was happy of course, but it was still embarrassing. She didn't even known if he felt that for her just yet. Carla of course was inwardly smirking, trying to egg Wendy on towards telling Koga show she feels about him. That could wait till later on though, Fairy Tail had won against Sabertooth... It was no small feat. They'd enjoy this , It was a time to celebrate.
Koga smiled at this, Sabertooth had been brought low by Natsu almost singlehandedly. In the stands, people were moving away from Jiemma who had a dark purple aura around him. To have two of his wizards defeated by Fairy Tail was inexcusable. They'd pay dearly for that. Little did he know, the next test for Sabertooth would be against Dragon's Dawn... a guild that even he had to admit they weren't prepared for. Minerva eyed them, whoever she fought from Dragon's Dawn she would crush... or so she thought at least...
That night fairy tail celebrated their win. It was a momentous occasion, this could turn the tide in the games. Wendy congratulated Natsu on his win but then found herself searching for Koga, she didn't even know why. Her heart began pounding as she thought about the crimson haired boy. Was every one right? Did she like Koga? The girl sighed as she stood outside by herself and alone with her thoughts.
Happy and Erza came looking for the bluenette when Carla suddenly told them to duck behind a corner. The other two wondered what this was about, until.. They saw Koga approach Wendy. when he stopped, they listened in on their conversation.
Koga- Alone tonight, Wendy?
Wendy's eyes widened as her face became red like a tomato upon seeing Koga.
Wendy- K-Koga san! I .. uh... didn't see you th-there!
Koga- mind if I join you?
Wendy- huh? O-Oh n-no go right on ahead! S-so Koga san... why are you here? Not that I'm not glad to s-see you or anything of the sort. I just figured you'd be. uh.. you know with your team.
Koga- I would be. I just needed to clear my mind. Anyways, i came to tell you something.
Wendy- W-what is it?
Koga- Oh.. it's nothing really.. just, make sure your guild is watching tomorrow, they're in for a real treat.
Wendy- What do mean by that?
Koga- simply put... Dragon's Dawn will completely crush Sabertooth in tomorrow's games. And...
Wendy- And?
Koga- There's... something I want to tell you after the games conclude tomorrow. I've been meaning to for quite awhile now.
He released Wendy's hands for a split second before bringing her in close for an embrace. This caused Wendy to flush scarlet due to the close contact with Koga.
Koga- Wait for me Wendy, okay?
Wendy- K-Koga San... I'll wait.
The boy smiled brightly and separated from her. He then began to walk off when Wendy called back to him.
Wendy- wait, Koga San!
The boy turned and when he looked, Wendy has placed a kiss on his cheek, causing even him to blush. The girl smiled at him after standing back to her normal height.
Wendy- T-that's for saving me. I-I never thanked you for saving my life. a-anyways good night, Koga San.
Wendy quickly walked off with her face flushed red and Koga swore he saw steam rising from her head.The teen was left more than a little dumbfounded at what the Dragon Slayer did, he never expected Wendy to do that. He couldn't stop the goofy grin on his face from spreading though as he walked back to where his guild was staying at.
Happy couldn't help but to snicker at what he saw, but he was wise enough to carla's glare not to say anything stupid. Erza was quite surprised, but also happy for her Guildmate. She thought it was adorable how Wendy obviously had a growing crush on the boy who saved her life.
Erza- Those two would be really cute together... I wish you all the best Wendy.
The redhead then turned heel and made her way back into the inn where Fairy Tail was still celebrating their victory over Sabertooth. But even Fairy Tail knew they couldn't celebrate prematurely, they still had other guilds to compete with the next day after all.
The next day, everyone gathered together in preparation for the final day of the Grand Magic Games. The previous night had been eventful in which saw both Lucy and Yukino be escorted away by the army minister (forgive me cuz I can't remember his name right now lol). It turned out that Fairy Tail would rescue them, just with a separate team. And due to Natsu's insistance on going to save Lucy, he was left off the competing team for the games. He was instead put onto the rescue team that featured Mira Jane, himself, Happy, Panther Lily, and Elfman. Wendy had said she wanted to stay for the games and see what Koga was up to much to the surprise and bewilderment of the salmon haired slayer.
The competing team was made up of Laxus, Erza, Gajeel, Gray, and Juvia. Both teams started their operations, the rescue team went to infiltrate the Royal castle, while the competing team participated in the games. At the games, it was an all out battle royal where 2 teams stood out among the rest, Fairy Tail and Dragon's Dawn. Fairy Tail stood unmoving, for the most part, while Dragon's Dawn was observing the other guilds who were participating in the scrum for points.
The bottom guild Quatro Ceberus or "Quatro Puppy", was in a scrum for points between them, Blue Pegasus, and Lamia Scale. Sabertooth entered the fray for points as well, as they had all 5 members left. Gray opted to go after Rufus, while Juvia had gone off somewhere on her own. Only 3 of Fairy Tail's 5 members had yet to make a move. Those members were Erza Scarlet, Laxus Dreyar, and Gajeel Redfox. For this continued for the first 5 minutes until Erza picked up on the magical energy of a certain wizard that she'd been waiting for, Minerva Orland.
Each of the Fairy Tail members had a specific target in mind as they rushed off towards them. Mere moments after taking off, Erza came face to face with Kagura of Mermaid Heel. The two were about to square off when a familiar magic power surfaced in the midst of their fight.
Minerva- Erza Scarlet, a pleasure to meet you.
Erza- Minerva...
The redhead scowled at her before she put up a hand to silence her. Both her and Kagura tensed, not knowing what she'd do. It was revealed that she'd captured Millianna, and both female wizards were enraged. Beaten up and beyond the ability to fight was the cat loving wizard inside of a bubble. The scoreboard updated after millianna was revealed to be defeated by Minerva.
Dragon's Dawn: 44 points
Sabertooth: 38 points
Fairy Tail: 30 points
Mermaid Heel: 25 points
Quatro Puppy: 22 points
Blue Pegasus: 18 points
This was only for a moment. Just as Minerva was about to force Erza and Kagura to fight each other to free their friend, a new voice entered the fray. Blistering heat, followed by an intense and almost buckling pressure followed the newcomer. They didn't recognize the newcomer until a flash of Flame colored hair and white flames emanated from them. It was the captain of the team dragon's dawn fielded for the games, Max Dragonblade. He was not amused as he glared venomously at Minerva.
Chapati- Oh! what a surprise! It seems Dragon's Dawn's strongest wizard has entered the fray!
Max- Hello Minerva... I believe you and I have some unfinished business.
He smiled wolfishly at the Sabertooth wizard to further emphasize his point.
Max has entered the battlefield! And it seems he has some unsettled business with Minerva. Can Minerva survive his wrath?
To be continued...
Wendy- What do you suppose will happen?
Koga- not sure. I think everyone's been waiting for Max to put the smack down on Minerva and Sabertooth.
Wendy- R-right. Novablade apologizes for a lack of an author's note this time. He just wanted to get the chapter out as quickly as possible.
Koga- I'm sure everyone will understand just for this week.
Wendy- this week?
Koga- Yeah. Novablade said he'll try and update this story once a week if he's able. If he misses a week he'll try and get one out as soon as possible.
Wendy- Well that's good news I guess.
Lucy- Hey guys!
Koga- Oh, hey there Lucy. Here for the preview for next chapter?
Lucy- You bet!
Koga- Well here we go then.
Lucy- Right! Next time on Fairies and Dragons: Allies of the West.. Minerva has been confronted by the strongest member of Dragon's Dawn. And he looks like he means business. Sabertooth's strongest wizard doesn't have a chance against him.. And... What is that thing?!
Koga- Next time: Wrath of the Flaming Nova part 1; Minerva's fall.
Lucy- can anyone stop this guy? He's too strong!
