The Twin Dragons

The Brawl

The five of them ate in peace as Illumi told stories "One really weird guild I met up in the mountains who tried to steal from me which failed ultimately and I actually met myself but the person was alot less kind and friendly he seemed to be like Ace and the Ace there was just like he was friendly and nice always smiling but the two were so weak and they were scared of Midnight even though she was like 3 years younger than them all and Sayuri was like drop dead gorgeous I swear yet she seemed to hate both of Ace's and I's guts as if we were doing something wrong but that's not all either." Illumi went on and on about all the funny situations he had gotten into while out there which entertained all except Geo who gritted his teeth at the male's voice and drowned him out until he had shut up about all the stupid stories he had to share.
"Well that's about it for me I'm truly just looking for a good ole spar like I used to have I feel like I'm off my game honestly." Illumi rolled his shoulders and looked around the table first to Ace who shook his head no then Midnight who immediately volunteered Geo who woke up from all the hateful mumbles he said under his breath "Who what?! What did I do?" "You're going to be fighting Illumi because he needs a little stress relief would you be willing to?"
"Yea Geo fight me bro I'd love to see how string you've gotten since the last time we fought should be fun."
Geo swallowed hard as he wasn't expecting to fight Illumi so soon after his return, but he couldn't back down from this fight so he accepted and the venue for this altercation would be located in a very open field away from the city to allow the two to go all out being necessary for a victory. All the friends ate like animals which was completely natural for Dragon Slayers meaning each had about 6 plates full of food before leaving late in the evening to go toward the open grass field where no one used for anything except a quick passage through Fiore. The wind blew lightly and the sun gave an orangish red glow over the horizon as everyone created space and Geo stepped out and across from him stood Illumi, fifteen feet separated the two and Geo was to have first attack  to determine the flow of battle. A blue ring appeared around the male's forearm as he swung his left arm to attack the male with the talon of the water dragon but Illumi lifted his right arm and the impact of the punch was absorbed into the male's forearm and Geo paused at how the great amount of force he put into the punch was met with what seemed like a brick wall and now it was Illumi's turn to counter however he chose not to which Geo took advantage of, lifting his left leg he roundhouse kicked Illumi in the side of his temple causing Illumi to stumble backwards. Geo smiled as everyone cheered him on to finish up witb his current attack yet just as the cheers had begun they ended as with a sudden flash Illumi rebounded with a flying knee which connected directly under Geo's chin causing his head to snap back from the force but Geo didn't give up as he fought against the force and pushed Illumi's leg away and began to rain a barrage of punches into Illumi who in turn matched the amount of strikes as he was hit and also delivered hits to Geo. The two's fist slammed into one another's and a few blows connected clean such as guy shots or uppercuts and at one point Illumi was hit directly in his forehead causing him to rear back but he returned the favor by hitting Geo on top of his nose causing space to form between the two. "ROAR OF THE WATER DRAGON!!!!!" Illumi's eyes turned to an emotion of seriousness and he gripped the breath attack and dispelled it with his bare hands which shocked everyone even Geo who had stopped for a moment as he looked at Illumi with not a look of fear but of doubt as he didn't know how much the male was holding back. He stepped back and the Earth shook as Geo yelled out "Water Slicer Tsunami!!" And from the ground came several large arcs of water which roared forward at great speeds by the dozens and once one passed over Illumi slicing away fabric of his hoodie two more seemed to follow and for those two four all the way up to 16 at once and by the time all the water had passed over Illumi his hoodie was ruined and his arms and torso had cuts over them yet with his arms crossed and his head ducked behind them he still stood strong and the markings of Dragon Force finally being revealed to everyone and he saw no need to hold back anymore so he unguarded and let out a dragon like scream which vibrated everyone's eardrums and the white pattern spread over his body coating his skin in a glossy pearl white finish and his eyes purely white as they glowed even in the sunlight. Illumi rushed Geo and Geo stood in shocked from the male's immense speed as he seemed to teleport to his next position which unfortunately for Geo was directly in front of him and Geo felt a shoe hit the underpart of his chin launching him 4 feet in the air and a barrage of Holy Dragon Talons which rained down like hammers leaving bruises over the male's body until he roared once more giving a final uppercut to the already near unconscious male which sent him flying back toward Ace,Sayuri and Midnight where Geo landed groaning out in pain. Each of the slayers looked down at him feeling a bit sorry for the fact of what just happened but they soon looked up to see Illumi approaching but he was back to normal but for some reason they all stepped between the two, Illumi appeared behind the three and he had his hand on Geo's chest as a glow appeared over the male's body his wounds healing along with his body's damage resistance as Illumi smiled warmly. "Damn you ruined my Jacket and I nearly lost my mind at least you didn't ruin my necklace~" "Yea yea...you're lucky I was holding back on your or that splicer would've been the final attack." Illumi chuckled as his seashell necklace hung from his neck slowly swinging back and forth as everyone watched all except Midnight who whispered to the two but mostly Geo "Remember that bet we made last week sweetie? I'm just gonna say its still going on~ So whenever you're all patched up I'll be needing my room clean by 6pm"  Geo groaned in disbelief and Illumi simply chuckled as he finished healing Geo and stood up shaking his head and commented "You two are a literal mess try cleaning this up~" Midnight smiled and helped Geo to his feet and said "You jealous Illumi I mean it'd only make sense 7 years together and not even a single kiss from your crush I cant believe you didn't kill Geo." Illumi shrugged and responded "I could've but then that would be pointless I mean Geo is a cool guy and to e honest you two together will last longer anyway....I don't like you how you think I do."
Everything went quiet even Midnight
as no one could believe the words Illumi just said as they all were lead to believe different. "S...so you haven't been head over heels for me for years? And you don't like me?" "I never said that I just said that the love that I had for you as a kid didn't grow as I did...all you ever did was play with me like I was some kid anyway so I  figured that all I was to you so that's all I see you as now.. ..a child."
