Here I go with chapter 24. I decided to make Reiner about Wendy's age because it makes more sense than him being ten. Follow and Review!
Unknown location, 100 miles away from Tenrou Island.
Darkness.
Nothing but a large soaring mass of blackness. The black dragon. This creature had one thing, and one thing alone, hatred, a hatred that has spanned centuries. There was only one thing that could satisfy his hatred.
Blood…… the blood of……
Dragons.
Tenrou Island.
Natsu, Lucy, and his group had joined the group gathered at the base camp.
"So what now?" Asks Natsu.
"We need to find the others. Gray, Juvia, Erza, and Kiryu still haven't come back." Says Lucy.
"Actually, he was here earlier." States Levy.
"What? Then where did he go?" Asks Cana.
"There was a wizard from Grimoire Heart that attacked Mira and Lisanna. After we showed up, he left to find him." Explains Elfman.
Over at the edge of the trees, Lisanna looked in the direction that Kiryu had left from. She clasps her hands together.
Please. Come back. I'm worried about you.
A rustling in the bushes draws her attention. She gets ready to attack, but Erza crawls out of the bushes like a caterpillar.
"Erza?"
"Lisanna, hurry up and untie me!"
The ground was rocking back and forward. And everything felt groggy.
What the hell?
Kiryu attempts to move his arms, but fails. His arms were bound by shackles. The same with his feet. Using what momentum he could get, he sits up.
He was in a cell, outside of it were barrels and a multitude of barrels and a couple of weapons. One of which was his sword, that lay on a table on the other side of the 5 foot long room.
Judging from the movement of the floor, I must be on a ship.
Thanks to his training, he can handle motion sickness better than other dragon slayers. Kiryu fiddles with his wrists, trying to break free from his binds.
"You can't break them with magic."
He looks over to see a kid, no younger than Wendy, wearing a suit and hood that covers his face.
"And you are?" Asks Kiryu.
"I am the new guild master of Black Serpent." The figure says. "But you can call me Frost."
"Frost?"
"Yes." Frost turns away from the cell.
"You have caused a great deal of trouble for us. Our old Master is dead, and you are the one responsible."
Kiryu keeps his calm demeanor. He knew Frost was right. Even though he promised not to kill, Hanz was evil, and took the life of a child.
"Which is why I have decided to take revenge." Frost continues. He turns to Kiryu. "I can't forgive you for your actions."
The two stayed silent for a moment, until Frost decided to continue.
"We are taking you back to our new base, where you will suffer for the rest of your life." He turns to the doorway leading out of the cell area and walks away. Kiryu inspects the cell he was in. The only thing in it was a bucket. He scoffs.
I really need to quit getting into these situations.
He looks back at the bucket.
At least the cell in Edolas was more comfortable than this.
Back at Tenrou.
After getting Erza out of the net, Levy gives her a canteen with water, which she proceeds to down like a thirsty horse.
"What happened?" Asks Lucy.
The redhead takes a breath.
"They've got him."
Everyone looks confused.
"Who?" Asks Natsu.
"They took Kiryu."
Everyone is shocked, especially Lisanna and Natsu. The second most powerful wizard in Fairy Tail had been captured? They don't really count what happened in Edolas due to them not having any magic.
"Grimoire Heart?" Questions Lucy.
"No……. Black Serpent."
Elfman gritted his teeth. "What?? What are those evil people doing here?"
Everyone for the exception of Lisanna knew what happened with Black Serpent and Kiryu. Of course they would come back with revenge in mind.
Mira, who had just woken up, tries to stand.
"No…. We have…. To save him." She says weakly before having to sit back down. Levy puts a hand on her shoulder.
"We can't. Who knows where they are now. And Grimoire Heart is still here."
Lisanna looks at the ground with sadness.
I cant let them take him. He's always been there to help me and the others.
She looks back up, with fury.
Its about time I'm there for him.
Using her take over magic, she forms wings from her arms and shoots up to the sky above the camp. Everyone looks up at her.
"Lisanna!? What are you doing?" Asks Elfman.
"Theres a chance that they are still close to the island if they have left. I'm gonna go find Kiryu."
She flies towards the shore, out of everyone's sight.
"Lisanna!" Shouts Elfman.
He goes after her but is stopped by Erza.
"You're too injured for this. And if anyone can find him, it's her." She says.
Elfman looks down at the ground. He knew he was right. Lisanna had a really great relationship, they will be alright.
"Fine."
They join the others, hoping to come up with a plan to finish the fight.
Lisanna flew along the shore hoping to find something.
"This rain is making it hard to see!" She says.
Her eyes turn into that of an eagle. Eyeing the horizon, she looks for anything, a boat, a ship, anything. After a minute, she notices a ship with black sails, flying a flag bearing the Black Serpent logo.
"That must be them."
Lisanna flies towards the ship, thinking of a plan to get Kiryu out of it.
What is this I'm feeling?
She repeated that question in her mind throughout the entire trip.
On board the ship, Kiryu struggled to get the shackles off his wrists. Two guards walk into the room.
"Good luck trying to get them off. They nullify magic energy." One says. The two walk around a corner and Kiryu looks at the ceiling.
I can't believe this. I've never been one to worry about my image, but Natsu and Gray are gonna hold this over my head for a long time.
He continued to try and get the shackles off.
Lisanna crashed into the ocean. She wanted to sneak onto the ship without causing too much ruckus.
He's probably below deck. I need to find a way down there.
Climbing on the starboard side of the ship, she looks over the rails, seeing about 10 guards going about their business. Using her animal soul magic, she turns into a mouse, and sneaks along the side of the ship. Seeing a hatch leading down, she slipped into one of the square holes in it, and landed on a set of stairs.
I should be getting close.
The second guard from earlier kicks the cell door. Kiryu sees the guard, who looks really angry.
"You probably dont remember me, but I was one of the members that fought you outside that diner in Oak Town." He explains.
Kiryu says nothing.
"You know what?"
The cell door opens and a spear blade is placed on his neck.
"I think your execution is coming early."
The dragon slayer closes his eyes.
"I guess this is it then." He says, not surprised. But on the inside, Kiryu was pissed.
I can't believe this. I'm gonna die right here.
The blade is pulled back, in a stabbing position.
Sorry Liz. I made a promise, and I've broken it.
Before the stab, a figure behind the guards kicks the guards in the head, knocking them out. Kiryu opens his eyes, and sees Lisanna, standing before him. She grabs the keys and unlocks the shackles. He rubs his wrists, sore from trying to get free.
"Perfect timing. I thought I was done for. Let's get out of here before more of th-!"
He's stopped when Lisanna embraces him. After a second, she began to cry.
"You promised." She mumbles.
Kiryu, surprised by her reaction and comment, has no idea what to say. Looking at him, she dries her tears.
"You promised you would make it back."
The teen scratches the back of his head.
"I'm sorry, I used a bit of magic when i was fighting, that I forgot to keep my guard up." He says, trying to assure her. Lisanna let's go and Kiryu stands up. "How far are we from the island?"
"About a mile, at most two."
"Alright, let's get out of here. The others will probably need our help." Kiryu says, picking up his sword.
"Right." Agrees Lisanna.
Kiryu puts the two guards into the cell and locks the door, and the two sneak up the stairs leading to the top deck. Cracking the hatch, they scan the deck for enemies. For some reason, there was no one.
"That's odd." States Kiryu.
"Where did they go?" Asks Lisanna.
The two open the hatch and step into the rain. Drawing his sword, Kiryu looks at a life raft of sorts.
"We can use that." He says pointing at the small raft.
Before Kiryu can take another step, a shard of ice pierces the deck in front of him. The two look up to see the young teen from before near the wheel of the ship, along with the Serpents Fist.
"I can't just let you get away. You still have a punishment you have to attend." He says.
"So you use ice magic?" Kiryu asks.
"Oh it's more than ice magic."
The teen jumps down about 30ft from the two Fairy Tail wizards.
"Kiryu, I challenge you to a duel." The young teen says.
Kiryu holds out his sword. "Fine, I accept."
He turns to Lisanna. "Liz, stay back, I don't want you getting hurt."
She nods and takes a few steps back. He turns back to his enemy. "Want me to go easy on you? I'm not the kind of person to fight kids." Asks Kiryu, trying to see if the boy gets angered. He always had a better chance of winning when his enemies are angry.
"We will see about that!"
Frost holds up his left hand.
"Ice Dragon Frost Sword!"
A sword made of ice appears in his hand. Kiryu is surprised. "Ice dragon? You're a dragon slayer?"
"Yes, I'm a lot like your friend Laxus, and that other guy, Cobra was it? I had a dragon lacrima put inside me." He explains.
Holding out the ice blade, he points at Kiryu.
"Let's get this started then, shall we?"
(Begin SAO ost Confront Battle.)
The two of them charge and their swords clash. Frost back flips away and charges again, using his blade in a slashing motion. Kiryu blocks it, but his opponent kicks him in the head. Sliding back, he focuses his stardust into the blade and slashes back, shattering the sword. Frost forms another one and slashes at Kiryus right arm, leaving a cut. The star dragon slayer responds by kicking him in the right knee. Frost falls to his left knee and Kiryu lands a punch right in the face, sending him falling to the deck. Holding the sword over his head, he goes for the final blow, but the sword hits the deck, due to Frost rolling to the left, and sweeps Kiryus legs. He jumps up and rears back his head.
"Ice Dragon Roar!"
Kiryu rolls a few times and the deck is covered in ice shards. He rolls onto his feet and faces Frost.
"Star Dragon Roar!"
The roar is sliced in half with the new blade and Frost comes down on him. Kiryu blocks the blade with his own. The ice dragon slayers feet hit the deck and the two began trading blows, not only with their swords, but punches and kicks as well. Frost forms a knife out of ice and stabs Kiryu in the side, blood spilling out. Before he could back off, the Fairy Tail wizard slashes at his chest, making a giant gash from shoulder to shoulder.
"Agggghhh!" Howls the Black Serpents leader. Kiryu falls to his knees and Frost stumbles back to his men.
"Had…...enough?" Taunts Kiryu, holding his side, trying to stop the bleeding.
Two men hold up their leader, who made it back to his men.
"I think it's a draw….. for now…."
Behind him, a soldier carrying an explosive lights a fuse, and those it between Kiryu and Lisanna.
"See you….. in Hell…" Frost says before the group jumps over the side of the boat. Kiryu looks over to the explosive, only an inch left of the fuse.
Damn it…. Not again….
Still holding his side, he hobbled over to Lisanna.
"Kiryu--!?"
She us cut off when Kiryu throws her onto his shoulder.
"Cover your head!"
He sprints to the bow of the ship, and jumps.
The explosion tears the ship in half. The ship sinks, taking everything around it with it. As it sinks to the bottom of the ocean, the rain stops, and the sun comes up.
