Phoenix

Black Dragon

Kira smirked before countering with her Sea Serpents. The two spells collided and caused water vapor to cover the area. Emi added her Wind Blade and threw the man against a group of trees. She then used her Dagger Strike to pin him against the tree. Kira sent a wave of water at the man, causing him to start coughing as he struggled to breathe.

"Well?" Kira confidently asked. "Do you give in yet?"

Emi's eyes widened as the man spoke, "They'll find you. They'll get you. Just you see. You'll all feel the wrath of--"

Emi quickly cut the man off with a swift kick to the stomach. He groaned as he slumped over in pain.

"Emi? What's wrong?"

Emi spoke in a cold tone, "You should go back to the inn, Kira."

"What? What's wrong? It's easy enough to turn him in. I can wait to rest."

"You used a lot of magic power in the fight. You should rest."

Kira looked at Emi quisically before slowly nodding and walking out of the forest. She called back before getting out of sight.

"Just be careful walking him back. He might try something."

"Don't worry," Emi sneered, "I can handle him."

Kira disappeared from sight, leaving Emi and the rogue wizard alone. The wizard continued to struggle under the daggers that had pinned him to the tree. Emi smirked devilishly and started to walk closer to him.

"So, who sent you? Which one?"

He paled as he revealed that Sloth had sent him. Emi's face hardened as she grabbed his throat.

"I would let you off with a warning, but I know how you people work. The only way to keep you quiet is to make sure you never speak again."

"He'll get you! He'll find you and--"

Emi squeezed his throat tighter.

"Say," Emi started sarcastically, "how powerful are you really? Everyone made you seem like a very powerful wizard, but all I see is a crying man struggling under my grip."

Emi cast her Shell of Divinity spell, saying, "Now nobody will be able to hear you. Isn't that great?"

"Please don't--"

"I've been reading a book lately on different dragons. Would you like to see a spell?"

"Dragon spells? So you can be a dragon slayer?" Natsu yelled.

All the dragon slayers looked to Emi to see that she had tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to see this. This isn't who I am."

Cain soothed, "You did what you had to, kid. Nobody blames you for it."

"I enjoyed it too much."

"Black Dragon: Chaos Assault."

A giant black cloud shot to the ground in front of her before forming into the shape of a dragon. The cloud hardened into a steel dragon with black scales. It's roar shook the shell and brought down several trees. Emi smirked as the dragon lunged itself at the rogue wizard. His screams echoed off the shell and pierced her ears. The dragon ripped his limbs off before aiming a laser at the body, completely disintegrating it. Emi turned to the black dragon and smiled before patting its nose.

"You really saved me there! Thanks a lot!"

"Daughter of Cain, I can only protect you so much. I will not be able to be summoned in the presence of the Sins. Please keep that in mind."

The dragon broke into black clouds again and blew away.

"Did you just summon Acnologia?!" Fairy Tail exclaimed.

"What? Absolutely not! I would never. That isn't a real dragon at all. It's just an illusion."

"So kind of like Master Mavis and her illusions?" Levy asked.

"It seems to be that way," Mavis answered.

"FIRST MASTER?!"

"When did you get here?" Makarov shouted in shock.

-----------------------------------------

"There you are. I was starting to worry. Were you able to hand over the rogue wizard to the soldiers?"

Emi smiled brightly before nodding and saying that he didn't put up a fight. Kira took Emi's hand and led her to their room at the inn.

"So what're you doing once we get back?" Kira questioned as they both changed.

"I told Lector that I would join him and Sting on a job. After that I plan to train."

The white haired wizard looked down in thought.

"Hey Emi? Are you okay?"

Emi jumped before giving her friend a reassuring smile before going to bed.
