Dragon Child

Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Captured

Cobra had Natsu slung over his shoulder and was heading back to Brain's location at the top of Nirvana.

Half way there he had actually found his lost pants and put them back on, well, best he could with the entire back gone. Luckily his new dragons tail covered up the massive hole that showed off his ass.

Cobra reaches the peak if Nirvana and sees Brain still working on getting the massive weapon to Cait Shelter.

"I kicked his ass for you." Cobra tossed the Salamander onto the floor.

"I watched. It was....different." Brain didn't look at Cobra, he was staring at the direction Nirvana was going.

"Oi, after we blow up Cait Shelter we need to fix this."

Brain turned around and looked Cobra over. "This is a problem." He walked up to the poison user and circled him, ignoring the hole in his pants. "I can tell its a powerful magic. I don't know if I can do anything for you."

"Can you at least tell what happened?"

Brain stopped his circling and stood behind Cobra. He reached a hand out and touched one of his purple scaly wings. They twitched and fluttered slightly blowing a small breeze.

"I can sense more magic power than usual..." The dark guild leader circled back to Cobra's front. "What ever that purple mist was that engulfed you and the Salamander has increased your magical power incredibly. I would say this was a good thing if it didn't have such... Unique side affects."

Cobra just groaned, slightly annoyed. "But what do we DO about it? I don't want to stay half dragon till I die!"

Brain cast him a glare and Cora shut up. "I know something you can do. But you won't like it to much, as far as in know, it's only myth-"

He stopped suddenly, his eyes wide and mouth hanging open.

"Brain?" Cobra asked waving a hand in front of his face, the man leaned forward slightly before falling completely over and landing on the ground with a puff of dust. Behind where he had been standing was a cloaked woman. Her face was covered by a white mask and her body was dressed in all black.

Cobra leapt away, he didn't want to deal with someone who took Brain down like it was nothing. What had she done anyway? And how had he not heard her coming? The dragon slayer didn't have time to think about it before the woman was on top of him, she moved so quickly and silently that Cobra barely dodged out of instinct.

"You guys just come out of the wood work don't you." Cobra glared at her.

The woman didn't speak, she only lunged again, her fist aimed to hit Cobra in the navel. He easily side stepped it. His dragons legs made him more nimble and faster now, he found it interesting and slightly disturbing at the same time.

The woman seemed to expect it though, because she turned with him and kneed him in the stomach.

Cobra didn't think a girl could have such force behind a kick. He instantly doubled over clutching his stomach and resisting the urge to vomit up everything in his stomach. He heard the muscles in the woman's legs contract as she lifted her leg and brought it down on his head.

His head shot forward and smacked hard against the stone floor with a loud CRACK! He blacked out.

Natsu's eyes fluttered open. The first thing he noticed was the fact he was in a very dark very foul smelling room. He then noticed he was chained up; cuffs were tight around his wrists, every time he moved they would chafe painfully against his skin. He also had a collar around his neck that gave off a faint red glow.
