Beast Tamer

Episode 7: Shikako Vs. Jose

All the Beast Tamer mage could do was brace herself, as the whole building began to shake and rumble. Glass flying all over as the walls became floors and back again, the room had rotated then finally settled.

'Elfman did it, but what did Jose do?' Shikako groaned when she had a dizzy spell trying to get up. From the inside it looked like the whole castle had turned into a robot of some sorts. Another dizzy spell washed over the mage, as she brought her hand up to her head.

Pulling her hand back she realized her head was bleeding, but she had no time to wait around. Shikako's theory is that the large golden magic circle is the last trick Jose has up his sleeves, meaning if they get rid of it, game over.

The mage took off her forehead protector and tied it tight around the wound, nodding satisfied she took off.

Shikako came to a halt as the scent of blood filled her nose, and what sounded like the groaning of a child. Staying true to being a Fairy Tail mage the brunette followed the smell.

It was eerily familiar to the smell of Natsu's blood and Laxus's, but it was different. The mage ran until she could visibly see a trail of blood, thankfully not a lot but specks.

Shikako's darkening silver eyes widened as she saw a little raven haired kid, a couple of years older then Romeo. His arms bleed from a cut and his nose has got a nasty gash on it.

Crouching down the kid didn't flinch or move seeming to be unconscious, so being as careful as she could she performed first aid to the best of her abilities. He groaned but stayed knocked out, something Shikako was thankful for.

Being as careful as possible the brunette picked the kid up, gently maneuvering him to her back

The mage searched some more before finally find a grand hall, as she began to run for the stairs wind magic swept her off her feet. Twisting around Shikako landed on her back to take the brunt of the fall, grimacing when the boy gasped in pain.

"How sad. Shika, the Beast Tamer protecting the kid." A couple feet away the space wavered before revealing Aria.

"I believe I might have to get serious with this, how sad." The man removed his blind-fold and opened his eyes, weird magenta eyes glared at the female. Shikako place the kid leaning up against the wall, before turning back to Aria.

"Shadow Neck Binding Technique." Shikako wasted no time on casualties as she choked the man. Soon after he fell to the ground unconscious, "tch, waste of my time."

The Beast Tamer walked over to the kid getting ready to pick him up, when she hears shouting. "Oi Shika!" The team that came in plus Mira approached, Happy flew over resting on her head.

"Mira, what are you doing here?" The teen looked bashful when she told Shikako. "I took your advice and tried to use my magic to trick Jose but he knew. And capture me, but Elfman was able to get over his fear and did Full Body Take Over, to save me."

The tall male rubbed the back of his head blushing at her proud stare and the Beast Tamer's grin. A jingle echoed through the building, causing all of the wizards to tense.

Lucy's scream tore through their bodies "We have captured Lucy. So, we have accomplished one of our objectives.Thus we have one final goal that remains to be fulfilled. Wiping you off the face of this world!"

"Dang it, Lucy got..." Natsu stopped his own sentence gritting his teeth. He turned to run up the stairs "Natsu."

He paused looking back at his Alpha "unleash your power. The power to protect is a strong thing. Defeat Gajeel and show him..." Shikako's head snapped up and Natsu's breath hitched, her eye's are pitch black. "Show him what Fairy Tail is all about!"
