Fairy Tail (Book 1 - Rose's Story)

Just Do Whatever!!

"Forced Gate Closure... I expect no less from two Fairy Tail Wizards."

I smirked slightly, this was the first time today that I felt like I was doing something right. "Then you should be expecting an ass-beating coming your way." Our Celestial Spirits were a no-go with this Wizard and her insane abilities so it up was up to me to fight most of this battle.

"I wouldn't take it that far, remember my powers allow me to take control over any Celestial Spirit either of you might call for." Sherry put her hands behind her back.

"But you can't take control over me!" I ignited my feet with water, assaulting her with a power ice-enhanced kick. "Water Dragon's Crushing Fang!" She dodged it but almost got struck with Lucy's whip as that was the only other item she could wield. "I may only be a Celestial Wizard, but I can still help win this fight!" She looked at me, determination in her eyes.

I was impressed, I didn't know she could actually properly use it and I thought it was just for show but I was wrong. I watched as she dished out whips after whips, but Sherry just kept dodging until she grew irritated with the games. "Rock doll!" She climbed back onto the pile of rocks and up out of it formed a monster made out of well... rocks.

"Get them!"

She shrieked and ran back behind me, and I glared at her. "You had me proud for about a total of five minutes, nice going." I left her there, rushing towards the rock puppet and grabbing a part of it's body with my hand. I released a vast amount of explosive water at point-blank range. "Water Dragon's Grip Strike!"

It barely affected the doll as it hit me in the gut, sending me skidding back to where I had left Lucy.

"Almost everything is impenetrable to rock, that was a cute try though." Sherry danced her fingers onward, the doll now chasing them.

Now we were in trouble.

Here and there it would punch, stop, and kick at us... but each time the attack either missed or we were able to dodge it by pure luck. I had to think of something and something fast, these three subordinates of Lyron were showing to be very hard to beat just like he was himself. It gave me a headache thinking about how I would need to go up against him once again.

Lucy ran ahead to the edge of a cliff, overlooking the water below. We were at one of the edges of the island, and she looked at me rather panicked.

"Jump!" I grabbed onto both of Lucy's hands and dragged her over the cliff, us plummeting towards the water below. We both couldn't help but scream as we hit the water and submerged below, our yells turning into bubbles. This mission was becoming harder and harder by the absolute second. I kicked my feet swimming to the surface, taking deep breaths as I looked around for our enemy.

Lucy came up a few seconds later, looking over at me with wide eyes. "You have so many bruises on your arms... rings of them from Capricorn..."

I looked down at both of my arms and sighed. Blue, purple, yellow colors mixed together in the form of a circle, I didn't even feel them with all the running we had been doing. This would definitely be fun to explain to the others when we saw them and my father once we got back but hell, I was just happy my arms weren't broken. "After all this adrenaline wears off I'm going to be sore for days."

"I'll take care of you." Lucy smiled up at me as we swam over to the shore, catching our breath and trying to dry off. It wasn't long before Sherry could be seen from the cliff where her rock doll jumped off of. "Finish them off! They're at a dead end, nowhere to escape now."

"Actually..." Lucy looked over her shoulder at the sea. "We don't need an escape. I've got this." She pulled out her Celestial Spirit Gate Keys.

"Open, Gate of The Water Bearer! Aquarius!"
