For The Big Hearts [2]

[18] Meet me in the woods tonight

        Dust settled around the battle field, the dragon slayers and dragon assisting what could be seen. 
           "Ya know," The king drawled sarcastically. "I never knew the child I took in all those years ago, gave a position in the Royal Guard, and treated as my own would ever go against me. How does it feel? You're about to be blown into pieces, traitor"
           "You betrayed me first," Crystal barked hatefully. "And I'm not the one about to get his ass kicked." She glanced at Wendy, who gave her sister a small nod. 
           "Lets go, Salamander." Gajeel said, giving Crystal a look. "I'm assuming you can fight." 
           "Better than you, I bet." Crystal smirked a bit and took a step forwards. 

           "Damn, we're fighting together again!" Natsu shouted, glaring at Gajeel. The black-haired male turned to retort but Crystal beat him to it. Slapping both their arms, since she really was a mouse compared to them, she glaring at them. 
            "No, no, no, I am not  listening to you two fight unless its that thing!" The king, tired of conversation, pressed a button that made the cannon load. 
            "You brats!" He snarled. 
            "I'll back you up!!" Wendy declared, throwing her arms up. "Fast winds that run the heavens. . .Bania!!" A grey-blue circle surrounded Crystal, making her feel like she was flying. A green-mint one surrounded Gajeel and a fire-red one surround Natsu. Not needing to be told, the three dashed forwards, heading towards the King. 
             "Who do you think I am?!" He shouted as the cannon fired at the three dragon slayers. Natsu and Gajeel split, going left and right, while Crystal jumped, flipping high up in the air. Natsu's fist lit up in fire as he aimed a punch as the side of the dragon's face. 
              "Fire dragon's Iron fist!!" He chanted. Gajeel stopped underneath the dragon's jaw, sending a metal rod towards the bottom of the jaw. 

              "Iron Dragon Club!!" Gajeel snarled, hitting it's jaw hard. Crystal floated in mid-air for a second before tossing her arms out, turning in a complete circle. Clouds surrounded her feet, sharply pointed, as she picked up speed.
              "Storm Dragon's Drill!!" She cried out, hitting the dragon's head and making it push further into the iron club on its jaw. 

         The king panicked a bit, glancing around at every little screen in the machine. "Doroma Anima that doesn't let magic go through. . .is getting little damaged?!"
               "What is this hardness?" Gajeel grunted, retracting his club. Crystal flipped off, landing a few meters away from the machine. The other two followed, stepping back a few. 

               "My foot. . ." Crystal hissed, shaking her foot to get rid of pins and needles. Wendy instantly got to work, moving her arms around again. 

               "Power of the stout arms that tear the heavens. . ." She pushed her palms towards the other dragon slayers, the three instantly glowing a bit brighter. "Arms!" Crystal flexed her arms a bit, eyeing Wendy in wonder. 
               "I feel. . .stronger?" She trailed, not knowing how to describe it. 
               "This is. . ." Natsu looked at his hands in wonder as well. 
               "It's a magic that strengthens your offensive abilities!!" Wendy explained quickly. 
              "Alright!" Natsu cheered, throwing another punch at the metal dragon's face. The king let out a grunt of discomfort, most likely getting thrown around in their. 
              "That brat!" He snarled, pressing another button. "Fire Ryuukidan!!" Slots opened on the dragon's side firing what looked like larger versions of bullets. 
         All the bullets headed towards the sky mage, making everyone follow. "Dammit, Wendy!!" Natsu warned. 
              "I'm all right!" She replied, dodging to her left. "Bania!" The closer bullets hit the ground while the ones farther instantly turned, heading towards Wendy.
