Fairy Tail: Black Blood [Book 2/2]

Chapter Forty-Nine: A Tale of Two Brothers

     [A/N]: So, quick story, I went to hot topic yesterday with me mum to look at some FT stuff and I FANGIRLED SO MUCH when I saw shirts of my favorite characters, I was SO CLOSE to buying one with a chibi Natsu and Happy eating fish and meat, but I was short 8 dollars so I had to settle on buying a Happy keychain. What was my reaction to it? I was squealing all the way home and I was fangirling so much that my brother almost persuaded my mom into taking me to the hospital. OVER A KEYCHAIN! So, when I buy my FT shirt next, expect some serious stuff. I pray to god you guys won't be there to see me explode, because my entrails will become confetti and my blood into rainbows. ENJOY THE CHAPTER I LOVE YOU ALL!

     Vicious shoves woke me up and I sat up so quickly that I collided heads with Natsu. We both shouted in pain and fell over, clutching our temples. "WHAT THE HELL, NATSU?!" I snapped while the latter only grabbed my wrist and hauled me on my feet.

    "Acnologia!" He gasped.

    "What?!"

    "He's here and he's going after Erza and Eileen! Get your ass in gear and let's go! You too, Larcade!" Natsu shouted, pointing at my son who woke up from the strange happenings. I looked around and saw two dragons fighting in the air, the black and blue one was obviously Acnologia and the white and red one being Eileen. They were colliding viciously in the air with terrible wounds covering their bodies and blood caking their teeth and talons.

    "Eileen! THAT IDIOT!" I boomed and began running towards the scuffle with Natsu and Larcade on hot pursuit.

    "What do we do now, father?" Larcade said, but I knew better than to answer. Getting involved in their fight now would mean suicide, since in this form both mages were at their most powerful. They could easily kill Natsu and Larcade, the last people I want dead, and may be able to somehow kill me if I joined in the fray for too long.

     The dragons were still high in the air, circling and diving at each other, slashing and bearing down injuries with blood and scales raining from the skies. I stopped right outside of the "arena", or it could have been considered that since the ground was more battle scarred and naked than any land even I had ever treaded on. Natsu gasped something and I saw him run towards Eileen's daughter, Erza, who seemed sick and pale. Natsu checked her for any injuries and said something about her magical pressure being almost absent.

     I gritted my teeth.

     It seems Acnologia got a hold of her after all, I thought. He is definitely stronger than Eileen now, and she is too engrossed in her fight with Acnologia for me to call her back. It seems I just have to hope that she makes it out of this alive. I looked away from the battle and to Natsu and Erza. Erza barely seemed conscious and Natsu was cradling her in his arms fearfully, when he sensed my attention his desperate olive eyes met mine. I wanted to say "I told you so" or "this is why Fairy Tail shouldn't have gotten involved" but his look deprived me of any retorts, and even my loudmouth son had nothing to say. I approached Erza and placed my hand over her chest and closed my eyes. Concentrating on the magic I have flowing through my veins, I summoned up a black magic circle from under my palm and poured only a fraction of my infinite supply of magic into Erza.

     Erza was barely awake after that and I myself felt a bit tired. I looked to Natsu, "She will live, but Acnologia stole a lot of her magic power. Larcade, I need you to carry Erza back to her guild and hand her to Fairy Tail's Wendy. Tell August and my demons to stay with Fairy Tail and protect them against Acnologia's forces. Come back when all that is said and done, the three of us will take on Acnologia."
