White Heart

Here We Go Again

"Ready?" she asks innocently. Lowering my head, I gleam at her.

"Always," I reply.

The little vixen charges in my direction. She leaps high up in the air landing atop an adjacent building to mine.

"Sky God," Chelia shouts, "Howl!" The familiar black whirlwind forms from her mouth, aiming directly for me. Not holding back this time, Girly.

"Sea God Silver Swirl!" My crashing waves meet her dark wind, battling for dominance. While my hands are busy with her spell, I decide to take it up a notch. "SEA GOD HOWL!" My voice fighting against the noise of the ensuing battle. The black cyclone explodes from my lips. I see the young girl's eyes widen in surprise. Ha, gotcha now! The second attack causes poor Chelia to go flying backwards. Thankfully she's able to land safely on the ground below. I glide down to meet her, but she had other ideas. 

"Sky God Dance!" Her black wind spirals catch me off-guard as they send me flying through the air. Shit. Suddenly my body smacks into a pair of covered arms.

"Looks like you've fallen for me," a familiar voice chuckles. I glance up to see Gray as my rescuer. Great. 

"Put me down!" I demand, "I don't need your help." He simply laughs at my orders, but follows them nonetheless.

"Sure you can handle both of them all by yourself?" His question surprises me.

"Both of them?" I retaliate. Gray nods his head in front of him, indicating for me to look. As I glance back over to where Chelia had been, I see a white-haired man join her. Leon.

"Oh Leon!" Chelia cheers, "You came for me!" He ignores her praises. Yeah isn't that the guy Juvia likes? I'm pretty sure it is.

"Come on Y/n," Gray beams, "Let's take them out together." I try to ignore the gleam in his eyes as I jump beside him. "Here we go," Gray growls. I grunt in agreement.

"Ice Make: Eagle!" Leon shouts as hundreds of small birds come flying out of his hands.

Ready?" Gray whispers. I nod. I don't think we've ever done this before. As the attack closes in, I flip out of the way.

"Ice Make: Shotgun," Gray shouts as he dodges Leon's attack. 

"Sea Dragon Roar!" I yell. Gray's ice crystals merge with my water attack, creating a deadly combo. Suddenly a black spiral blocks its path.

"Sky God Dance!" After it clears, little Chelia is standing in front of Leon.

"You gonna let her do all your dirty work?" I taunt at him. Leon's face become riddled with anger.

"Chelia," he orders, "Take care of her." What I thought they were a team? Regardless Chelia nods and follows his demands.

"Sky God," she begins, as she charges for me," Howl!" Oh no you don't.

"Purity!" I scream back. My darkened sphere of water crashes with her whirlwind. I need to up my game. Suddenly I hear Gray hit the pavement. My eyes shoot over to him. "No Gray," I mumble. Both our attacks fade. I see Leon prepare for another strike. I'm about to scream at Gray just as he lifts himself off the ground.

"You should keep your eyes on your opponent!" Chelia yells. "Sky God Dance!" Chelia holds her arms out and leaps upwards. Her black wind engulfs me, but I'm able to hold my own to feet on the ground, crossing my arms in front of my face. "I've gotten stronger, see," she beams. I laugh at her innocent smile.

"Yeah I can see that," I illustrate, "But I've also learned a few more tricks since we've last fought." I smirk up at her. "Sea Drive." Ocean blue scales crawl down my arms and upon my face. My hair spikes up. My boiling water vapor surrounds me. Though the last time it took quite a bit out of me to conjure this up, this time I have all the rage I need from just yesterday's events. Plus I wanted to show off a little.
