Chapter 24: Bluenote Stinger - 1
"Sand Tsunami!" Max thrust his hands out towards you.
The massive conjured wave of sand he sent towards you was quite the daunting thing to look at. Dozens upon dozens of metres long, and over twenty feet tall.
His ultimate move could bury an entire city block in sand. But it would do no good against you.
You raised two fingers into the air, before dragging them down, "Dark Dragon's Gravity!" you declared, using one of your newest created spells that you'd worked on intensively this passed month.
The air rippled with intense green pressure and the sheer weight of gravity increasing above the sand forced the massive wave of it down into the ground, cutting Max's attack off before it could reach you.
As the wave of sand fell though, Romeo burst out of behind it, green flames lighting up his hands. He thrust them forward, unleashing a large stream of green fire, "Green Flame Wolves!" he shouted, and the large stream of green fire split up, forming into spheres that then compressed into a dozen wolves made of green flames that raced towards you.
Rainbow Fire magic was quite interesting. Each colour had a different ability. Red created normal, albeit very hot flames. Indigo created sticky flames that stuck to a target. Purple created flames that were heavier, and physical. Orange created flames that while not the hottest, gave off a rotten smell that was murder on your new senses. Green created flames that could be compressed and moulded into automatons and give directions to follow. Blue created ice cold flames that froze and burned at the same time. Yellow created fire that would follow a target.
And together all seven could be combined into an incredible blast of powerful flames.
"Sea God's Bellow!" you fired a quick, large spiralling typhoon of black sea water that tore through the flame wolves and smashed Romeo into the ground before he could react.
It wasn't charged, so it shouldn't do too much damage to him.
"Circle Sword!" Drax's voice came from your left while you were distracted.
"Sea God's Barrier!" you shouted, thrusting your hands out and conjuring a thick sphere of water around yourself to guard you. Just in time dozens of swords to stab into it and sink in a few inches before stopping.
Drax had been using his cut off the mission money to get a hold of weapons. He was especially fond of buying a few swords of the same make he'd stolen from Erza Scarlet years ago since they worked well with his Telekinesis magic.
Before you could do anything else, Drax came down from above, swinging the massive war hammer he got from one of the mages from Twilight Ogre into your water shield.
It triggered a massive explosion directed all towards you. "Sea God's Burst!" you jettisoned yourself backwards out of your barrier, allowing the barrier to take most of the attack and escaped out of the way of the explosion radius.
"Sand Grabber!" Max's voice rang out from behind the area Drax came from, and four massive arms of sand shot around towards you.
At the same time, the debris and smoke from the explosion dropped and Drax shot towards you, "Light Blades!" he shouted, and the war hammer in his hand disappeared, two be replaced by a pair of short swords glowing with light magic, both pointed towards you as he closed in alongside the sand limbs.
Your eyes began to glow with crimson red light as you lifted your hand up towards Drax, palm facing him, "Dark Dragon's Moment." you uttered, and a thick haze of darkness billowed out towards him before he could reach you.
You couldn't even see the light of his swords within the haze anymore.
Max's limbs shot towards you, un-bothered by the tactic, but as they rained down in a quad of heavy fists, you shot yourself into the air by creating a series of Sea God's Burst's at the bottom of your feet.
"Dragon Soul: Blizzard!" you declared as you reached the apex of your jump into the air, large white scaled wings erupting from your back.
You shot forward down towards Max at the opposite end of the area where you were fighting, ignoring the sounds of Drax devouring the darkness around him.
Darkness ignited around your arms, and Max's eyes widened. He thrust his hands out, "Sand Shield!" he shouted, conjuring waves of sand that formed out in front of him, getting larger and thicker by the moment.
Honestly, it was quite the technique since he could make a barrier stronger and stronger every instant as long as he kept feeding his sand into it.
But, with your wings out, not good enough! "Sea God's Burst!" you shouted, shooting yourself up over the sand barrier by creating water spheres at the bottom of your feet again and then created another set along your wings as you flapped them and shot down.
"Shit!" Max cursed, swiping one arm up towards you, "Sand Blade!" a compressed blade of sand shot towards you.
You lashed out with your darkness clad arm, "Dark Dragon's Claw!" you declared, punching through it with ease, and before Max could jump out of the way, your first carried down and smashed into his face.
The ground cratered slightly as Max hit the ground, groaning in pain.
The brown haired man's sand barrier dropped, and- "Dark Dragon's Gravity!" Drax's voice resounded through the air.
A thick, heavy pressure smashed into your back, pushing you to your knees. You groaned in pain, but opened your mouth and began to suck the magic inside, dispelling the increased gravity.
"Lizard's Howl!" Before you could stand up, Drax followed up and a large beam of compressed green magic smashed into you.
The beam carried you through the air, smashing you hard into a large rock surface which promptly shattered beneath the force of the beam and ploughed you through it before dissipating.
Hissing, you flapped your wings to force yourself into a back flip and landed down on the ground, skidding to bleed off your momentum.
You looked over to where you came from to see Drax flying towards you like a rocket, his angelic wings out on his back and a massive buster blade raised up above his head, green light infusing its edged surface.
"Lizard Blade!" the lizardman shouted, swinging his massive sword towards you and unleashing a humongous green energy blade that split apart the ground itself as it shot towards you.
Well if that was how he wanted to play it, you'd join in. Ebony black sea water swirled and compressed along the side of your right arm and you swung it out to meet the attack, "Sea God's Slash!" you shouted, releasing a massive blade of compressed black water to meet his head on.
The twin massive spell blades smashes into each other and pushed against each other hard.
You were surprised at the resistance in the energy blade Drax fired. He's been training hard!
After a moment of struggling against each other, both spells slashed into each other and burst apart. You were surprised though that Drax wasn't behind it!
Something slashing through the air caught your ears and you looked up. Just in time to find Drax falling through the air towards you, spinning through rapid flips before coming out with an extended leg drop glowing with green magical energy.
"Lizard's Crushing Talon!" he roared.
You thrust your arms up in a cross block over your head, catching the blow. The impact he made when his leg hit your arms shook the ground for dozens of metres, and the ground under your cratered inwards.
"Fall down Cobalt!" Drax ordered you, pushing into you with all his might.
You grinned, "Not a chance buddy!" you replied, firming your leg stance and thrusting up with all your strength.
The clash broke and the lizardman was jettisoned back up into the air. But he wasn't idle, his arm shimmered as he opened up his Requip space and suddenly his arm was encased in a gauntlet cannon that began to glow and spark at the barrel with lightning.
"Lightning Cannon!" He shouted, firing a huge bolt of lightning in the form of a crackling yellow beam towards you.
Green light spiralling with red power gathered around two of your fingers, and then you thrust them out towards the beam of lightning, "Dark Dragon's Capriccio!" you shouted, firing a large green beam with red power spiralling around out towards the approaching lightning attack.
You intended to pierce right through Drax's attack, but your eyes widened as Drax opened his mouth and your beam swerved around the lightning attack, dragged up into Drax's mouth as he devoured your attack.
Shit you forgot he had copied your Dark Dragon magic!
Well, nothing for it them. You opened your hand palm out and caught the lightning beam, gritting your teeth as the lightning coursed over your body and electrocuted you.
"Grr!" you growled, clenching your fist and unleashing your magic in a thick aura of power that dispersed the lightning. "Gah, that stung." you muttered, shaking your tingling body out.
"You idiot." Drax shook his head from above. He shook his hand and returned his cannon back to his Requip space, replacing it with a pair of familiar blades, a dozen similar ones appearing in mid air and floating pointed at you ready to be shot with the use of his Telekinesis.
"Gimme a break, it was three on one and it's hard to keep track of what magic you're copying at any one time." you shrugged, calling up black sea water into existence around your arms.
But before either of you could clash again, Meredy blinked into existence a few feet from you and held her hands up, "That's time boys," the pink haired girl said, "It's a draw."
"Consider yourself lucky." Drax commented, allowing the swords to return to his Requip space and his wings to disperse, dropping him to the ground where he landed nimbly.
"Yeah yeah," you waved him, "You already know I'd have kicked your ass if that continued."
"You wish fool," the lizardman snorted, baring his sharp teeth at you, "Unless you'd like to try your luck again? I've got a few more weapons I'd like to try out on you."
You bared your own now sharpened teeth back at him, but before you could call him out on his words, Meredy stepped between the both of you, "Muu, calm down guys!" she pouted, "The first S-class mission officially came in today! Come on, It'll be fun!"
She looked almost like a kicked puppy.
You sighed, while Drax bowed his head to the girl, "I apologize Meredy," the lizardman said politely, "I shall endeavour to crush him during our spar's much quicker from now on."
You shook your head. Yeah right. But you let it go for now. You'd kick his ass next time without giving him a chance. For now, the next opportunity to have Fairy Tail grow in reputation had come.
With both you and Meredy becoming S-class wizards over the month since she joined, and the many many missions the three of you completed together since then with ease, the magic council had all they needed to know about your capabilities and had no choice but to allow your promotion to go through.
"So what kind of mission is it?" you asked Meredy as you all began making your way back towards the guild.
"It's a real doozy!" the pink haired beauty clapped her hands, before reaching into her dress and pulling out a mission paper, "There's a dark guild known as Orochi Fin, the master is apparently a monster tamer, and he's got thousands of monsters under his control. They've got a base set up between Crocus and Dawn City."
"..Wait, Orochi Fin..isn't that...?" you trailed off and Meredy nodded.
"Isn't that what?" Romeo asked.
"That mission was up for grabs a month ago and it was only a B-rank," you replied, "I'm just surprised it jumped up so massively in rank."
"Oh." Romeo shrugged.
He turned away from you and you smiled lightly at Meredy who winked at you. you couldn't exactly come out and tell them that Meredy and her two former guild members had sussed out that Bluenote Stinger was the real leading figure behind that guild, and that he was most likely using the monster tamer to build up an army to sack the city some time in the future and try and steal the three great fairy magicks.
'Bluenote Stinger, huh?' you mused internally. He was a mass murderer who hunted won holders of rare magic texts and killed them to get his hands on them. He'd been on the wanted list for the Rune Knights since before you were born, and he was one of the highest priority targets. The once ace of Grimoire Heart. It was said he was easily on the level of Wizard Saints, and a match for the Four gods of Ishgar.
Looked like you would be finding out just how strong he was now personally.
