Sting and Rogues' Misadventuresby DarkLunaMoon99ChaptersKicked Out of SaberTooth...Team NatsuMount HakabeiCold...Cave InCondition WorseningMotion SickSting's WorriesAttackedKicked Out of SaberTooth..."You are hereby stripped of your title as a SaberTooth Guild Member!! Now get out!!!! Yelled a furious Mirvana, who was pointing directly at the two friends, Sting Eucliffe, and Rogue Cheney. "What!?" Why?!' Sting asked, confusedly, as he looked back at Rogue, who was standing beside him, his face completely emotionless, and a scared Frosch stood beside him, currently being comforted by Lector... "I said. You two are banned from SaberTooth!' Mirvana screamed, as she Activated her Magic, and she walked over to us, a devious smirk upon her face. "This might hurt, but, I don't care, well I used to care... But not anymore..." Mirvana said, still smirking, as she came closer to us. Sting was about to open his mouth when a burning sensation in his upper arm.. As looked down, his Guild Mark had been torn off.... And soon noticed Rogue holding his lower arm, Mirvana had gotten him, too..... "Now! Go! Mirvana yelled, as we were suddenly pushed out the Guild doors by her Magical Abilities, and they were soon slammed shut in our faces.. "And never. Come, back!!' Mirvana yelled, through the now locked, closed doors of SaberTooth. "Sting?" asked a sighing Rogue Cheney, who was currently carrying his Exceed, Frosch, in his left arm. "Yeah?" Sting responded, sighing, as he looked at Lector, who was flying above him, his wings creating a small breeze, as Sting's hair drifted in it. "What shall we do, now?" He continued, as Frosch bounded down from Rogue's comfortable sleeping spot, and sprouted his wings, and flew next to Lector. "I guess, we have to find, a different Guild to join, that is our only option at this point in time..." Rogue responded, sighing, as he let his raven black hair drop down to his eyes, and blew it away. "Well, our best option for now would have to be joining Fairy Tail, we still need to earn money... Rogue said quietly, as they continued their way absentmindedly down the path towards Fairy Tail... "No way!' I'm not joining that Guild! Sting remarked, crossing his arms defiantly, and shut his eyes, looking away. "Sting, It's our only option, most other Guilds don't give Mages that have done bad deeds, a second chance... But Fairy Tail does. Rogue finished, stopping, his coat waving behind him. Sting only sighed, before looking back at the Shadow DragonSlayer, before answering. "I guess, your right, Rogue...' Sting finally gave in, as they continued their way to Fairy Tail's Guild Hall... It was about ten minutes later, when Fairy Tail came into view. And as they got closer, the two DragonSlayers noticed that most Members of the Guild were outside, in the pool, or resting on the grass. "Well, there's never any doubt that this Guild is easy to find once you spot it.. Isn't it, Rogue? Sting said, laughing slightly, as Rogue sighed, and just nodded. "I suppose...' He said finally. Suddenly. a pink-haired boy came into Stings' view, and he looked away, trying to not be noticed by the rampaging DragonSlayer..... Before he was suddenly pulled back, making him fall onto his butt. "Hey!!! What are you two freaks doing here!? Huh?!' Natsu yelled, tugging Sting by the shirt, his right fist ablaze. 'Natsu, please, tone down, Rogue said, calmly, still showing no signs of emotion whatsoever. "Rouge..... Fine... Natsu released the blonde-haired DragonSlayer from his grasp, and he fell to the ground. "Well, what are you two doing here? Natsu asked, finally calming down, as the three DragonSlayers walked to the front of the Guild Hall. "We have been kicked out of SaberTooth..." Rogue answered plainly, as Natsu scratched his head in confusion. "Ummm, what for? Natsu asked, tilting his head to the side, his pink hair falling with him. "For believing that comradeship, was what our Guild needed.... So Mirvana kicked both of us out, including Frosch and Lector... Sting suddenly cut in, interrupting Rogue. "Is that the truth?' Natsu asked, glaring at the two friends. 'Yes, it is, it is the Truth." Rogue answered firmly, but blandly. "Alright, I'll believe you two, now come with me? Natsu said suddenly, as both Sting, and Rogue where pulled inside... And all eyes where soon focused onto us, and our Exceeds. Murmurs from the Guild Members where faint, but we could hear them, loud and clear... Some we didn't want to hear.. "What are they doing here, they are from SaberTooth, right? "Yeah, didn't they ruin the Grand Magic Games? "Natsu!? Where are you taking us?!" Sting asked, as he tried to break his wrist free of Natsu's gripping grasp. 'Just come on!? Natsu begged, as he soon came to a stop in front of the Job Request Board, and let us go of his tight grasp. "You two are going to be needing to join a Guild, right? Natsu asked, raising his voice slightly, allowing most Members to hear him... "Ye-ea? Sting said, confusedly. "Then how' about you Join Fairy Tail!?' Will, you? Natsu asked, again and again, as if he was eager to have us in his Guild... "Well.... I don't know... Sting replied, trying to get away from joining Fairy Tail, but failed. "We will, both me and Sting, would like to join Fairy Tail, on your Master's' behalf.. Rogue replied, calmly. "You boys are welcome to our Guild, a mistake isn't going to keep you from joining us, boys.. Said a voice, and both Sting and Rogue turned around to see the Master of Fairy Tail in front of them, the Guild marker in his hand.. "Would you boys like to join our Guild? Macarov asked, kindly, handing the Guild marker to Rogue. "Yes, we would... Rogue said, taking the Guild maker from Macrov's outstretched hand. "Then... Welcome to Fairy Tail, boys.............. Team NatsuChapter 2:Team Natsu. Warning: Told from Rogue's POV. "Welcome to Fairy Tail, boys' I turned around, to notice a familiar, scarlet-haired Mage standing behind me, 'Thank you, Erza..... I responded, as she smiled briefly, and moved back to allow two other familiar faced Mages walk up to me and Sting. "You remember us, don't you? Gray asked, as Sting shook his head, smiling slightly, I could tell he was actually enjoying himself here, it was nice... To see people getting along, It never happened in SaberTooth, it was a new start for the both of us, including Frosch and Lector. "Your don't talk much, do you?' Gray asked me, as I shook my head, signaling that he was correct. "No, he doesn't talk much, hes very, quiet, per say. Sting announced, as Gray only nodded, before being squeezed between a chair, as a girl named Lucy popped out of nowhere. "Remember me? Lucy asked, kindly. I shook my head, 'Yes, your Lucy Heartfillia, correct, I asked, as the blonde-haired girl smiled, and nodded. "Sting, Rogue? I turned around to see Erza facing me and Sting, a rather serious but inviting look on her face. "Yes, Erza, Sting replied, backing away a bit, from her more than a little intimidating appearance. "I've come to ask you both if you would like to join our team? Erza asked, as she turned to her side, and both Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Lucy sat behind her. "Yea, c'mon dude, join the party, maybe it'll be less annoying than when it was just me and this FlameBrain here.... Gray said, before getting a rather uncomfortable punch to the face by Natsu. "That's what you get for calling me that, Icy Freak!" Natsu laughed, before he was punched back by Gray. "Boys!' Enough! Erza yelled, her face now serious... "Aye...' Natsu replied, stopping immediately, as well as Gray. "So, would you like to join our Team? Erza continued, as I nodded. 'Yes, we shall join your Team, thank you, Erza?' I said, as Sting glared at me for not giving him a chance to say anything. Great!" Erza replied happily, as I managed a small smile. "Well, I guess it's time to pick out our first job as a new Team!" Natsu roared, flames flying everywhere. "Natsu! Watch it!? Sting yelled, as he dodged a flying fireball. "Eh' heheh, sorry... Natsu responded, as he ran over to the Job Requests Board, and began looking for a suitable Job for the Team to go on. "How 'bout this one?! Natsu yelled, holding up a piece of paper in the air, waving it. "Did you find one, Natsu? Good, let me see? Erza replied, as she snatched the paper from Natsu's grasp, and read over it. "This sounds like a great Job, Natsu. Erza complied, smiling. "Well, wheres the Job taking place? Sting asked, as he sat down on the table. 'Sting, listen and you'll find out. I said, shooting him an annoyed glare. "What!?" Sting whispered back to be, as I ignored him, and focused on the task at hand. "The Job is taking place on Mount Hakabei. Erza suddenly replied, as she tucked the page into her pocket. "Hmm, sounds Interesting, I said, saying the complete opposite thing as what I'd normally say. "Yea, I guess, Sting remarked, sighing, as he got up from sitting, and walked up to me. "Alrighty!! Whee, let's go!!! Natsu yelled, walking out the door, only to be pulled back by Erza. "Natsu! Wait, we need to pack first, it seems like this Job might take a few days to complete, and we might have to camp somewhere on the Mountain, who knows... Erza finished, as she walked away, and soon returned with luggage...... A LOT, of luggage... "Do, you really, need all that, luggage? I asked, as Erza just looked at me, her eyes having since widened. "Why of course I do! Erza scoffed, as she walked out the door, and stopped. "Well, aren't you boys coming? Erza asked, as if it was obvious. "Oh.... right...." Natsu replied, smiling. "Then let's go...!" Erza replied... Mount Hakabei"ugh, we've been walking forever!" Can we take a break now!?" Sting complained, as he dragged his bag along with him, snow covering his boots. "Yes, I suppose this is a good time to stop and set up camp for the night." Erza replied, as an exhausted Sting sighed, and dropped his bag into the snow. "Finally!" Sting said, relieved, as I glared at him, knowing that he could've gone farther than this. "Alright, Gray, Natsu, help me set up some tents? Erza ordered, as the two rivals nodded and began helping her set up. "Aye, need some help? Happy asked, as I nodded, seeing Lector and Frosch doing their own fair share of work. "No, but thank you" I finished. Walking over to the now, set up tent, I slipped off my bag, and set it down inside it. "Well, that does it. Erza continued, clapping her hands together with satisfaction. "Natsu, we're going to need a fire, think you can help us with that?" Erza asked, as I noticed the salmon-haired DragonSlayer nod, and he shot a small fireball at a pile of wood... "Where did that wood even come from?..... Sting suddenly asked, as Natsu shrugged, not caring. "Eh, whatever" Natsu sighed, as he slipped inside the tent, and came out with a blanket, throwing one to each of us. "Uh, thanks... I guess... Sting continued, catching the blanket in the air, and tossed it onto a chair he'd set up moments earlier. 'Oh, come on, Sting! We're a Team now, like, lighten up dude?" Natsu asked, patting the blonde DragonSlayer in the back, smiling, "Yea, sure... Sting commented, as he plopped onto the chair, and wrapped himself in the blanket, moving closer to the fire, clearly shivering. "Well, DragonSlayers aren't immune to the coldness, that's for one thing.... I said, actually saying something. "Yes, that's true, Erza said, as she wrapped herself in a blanket also. "Rogue? Why aren't you, cold? Lucy asked me, as I shrugged.. I actually was quite cold, but I could manage. "Rogue, you're going to catch cold, if you don't wrap up, Lector said, as he flew over to the tent, opened it, and grabbed the blanket, and handed it to me. "Thanks... I nodded, sighing, as I wrapped myself lightly in the blanket. "Of, course, Natsu and Gray don't need a blanket, Ice, and fire... simple.. Erza said firmly, as she got up, walked over to her tent, and returned with a tray of food of some sort. "Whats that?!" Natsu asked, eyes wide. "Natsu, calm down, Erza ordered, sitting back down. 'Aye.... Natsu responded..... talking like his friend, Happy.. "Hey! Don't copy me! Natsu!?" Happy yelled, as Erza handed him, Frosch, and Lector all a small blanket, big enough for them. "Thanks, Erza. Lector replied, as Erza smiled warmly back to the small Exceed. "Fro thanks you too! Frosch cried, holding up his hands in gratitude. "Well, It's very late, I think we should rest now, don't you think? Erza asked, yawning. "Yea, I've been up since six this morning... Gray replied, stretching as he yawned loudly. "Are you going to rest now? I asked Sting, as he shook his head, Nope! I'm going to stay up a little while longer. He replied. "Same with me, Natsu said, smiling. "Alright, well, I'm quite tired, I'll see you all tomorrow... I said, heading into the tent.... "Frosch? Aren't you coming? I asked, as he turned around and waddled over to me, and climbed his way into the tent, curling up beside my head. "See you tomorrow, Rogue? Sting called from outside the tent, as I sighed. "Yes, " "Goodnight, Lector, Sting! Fro yelled, as Lector replied with a quick, "Yup!" "Goodnight, Frosch.... I sighed, patting the Exceeds' head, and closed my eyes, falling asleep not long after.... Cold..."Rogue!" Get up! It's morning already!?" "Calm down, Sting, I said, as I awoke to him shaking me, with a green and pink Exceed right in front of my face. "I'm up, Sting,,, I replied, stretching, as I crawled my way out of the tent, and into the frigid cold weather of Mount Hakabei. "Cold, huh? Sting asked, as I shivered slightly... "Is there anything I may have to drink? I asked, my throat suddenly feeling dry, as Sting handed me a water bottle (That actually wasn't frozen) Thanks?" I replied, drinking the water. "Well, everyone up!?" Erza yelled, as Natsu and Gray popped out of the tents, bags all packed and everything. "Yup. now, let's get a move on, shall we?" Erza asked, as everyone, including me, nodded in agreement... And we began heading upward, to the top of Mount Hakabei, one more. "When will we reach the top, Erza? Gray asked suddenly, after about ten minutes of walking. "In about another day, depends on this frigid weather. Erza answered, as the pulled her bag onto her shoulder. I was about to say something to add onto Gray's question, when a cough interrupted me. "Rogue? You alright? Erza asked, as I saw Sting looking at me, I knew what he was thinking, I knew him like I knew my own bedroom at our house. "Yes, I'm quite fine, thank you. I replied. About fifteen minutes later, the weather started acting up, and sure enough... We soon couldn't see in front of us. "Everyone, stay close! Erza ordered, and I could barely make out her hair in the snow. "No, guys! Over here! Natsu yelled, as we noticed a giant stream of flames break through the blizzard, "I found a cave, and It's empty!! Natsu yelled, as me, and everyone else headed towards Natsu's continuous stream of flames. "Good job, Natsu! Erza said, one we had all gotten inside, free from the blizzards wrath. "Close, Gate of the Clock Constellation, Horleogium! Lucy yelled, as one of her Celestial Spirits returned to the Celestial Spirit World. "Whew, that was a Blizzard.... Lucy said, as she put her Gate Key back into it's case. "You're right about that, Lucy! Natsu said, smiling, as he patted her on the back. I sighed, leaning against the wall of the cave, cold, wet, and also, oddly exhausted... "Rogue, you sure you're alright, you're looking tired.. Erza asked, as I smiled slightly, though in truth, I was starting to feel, almost sick... "Whoo! Its party time! Natsu cried, as he ran around the cave, acting foolish. "I guess that we'll have to stay here for the remainder of the day... Erza concluded, sighing deeply. "I guess you're right, Erza... Lucy said, sighing, as she sat down at the side of the cave, leaning against the wall opposite to me. "Well, It's practically impossible to go out in that storm, it would eat you alive. I said, wrapping myself tighter in the blanket, though giving me very little warmth. "Yea, and you say that, and look at you! You look exhausted! Natsu yelled, pointing to me. "Natsu's actually right (For once) I mean, I know this won't sound nice, but Rogue, I think you've caught a cold.... Sting concluded..... "I'm very quite fine, I replied, as I sighed, turning away. "Well, everyone, get comfortable, we are going to be staying here for a looooong while...... And so began the first day of hell.... Cave In"Look!" The entrance!!" Natsu cried suddenly, pointing to the caves entrance, as a giant pile of snow blocked our path out... "We've, been, caved in, I muttered, standing up, tightening the blanket around me, now shivering relentlessly. "Rogue?" You, look, cold..." Sting said, as he helped Natsu clear the way of the cave, but unsuccessful. "To be quite honest, I'm feeling, fine, but tired... I answered, though that wasn't the truth completely. "Quit screwing around, you scoundrels!" Help us get out! Erza yelled, as she suddenly grabbed Natsu by the hair, and dragged him to the pile of snow. "Breathe fire on it!" Erza demanded, as Natsu covered his head with his arms, visibly afraid of Titania. "Aye..." Natsu replied, as he hastily began throwing fire at it, slowly beginning to melt away the ice. I sighed, leaning back against the cave walls, as Sting threw me a look of concern, and I looked away, sighing. "Rogue?" Are you alright, seriously?" Gray asked me, as I jumped, sighing. "Ye-!" I was suddenly cut off by a cute, tiny voice, "Fro is certain that Rogue-Kun is fine!" Frosch cried, jumping in front of me. "Frosch, I-..' I stopped, sighing, as I pat the small Exceed on the head, smiling softly. "Rogue!' Rouge!" Frosch cried, jumping up into my lap, his paws in the air, smiling. "What is it, Frosch?" I asked, tiredly, "Never mind, Fro replied, jumping down, and heading over to Lector. "We've cleared the exit!' Now let's go!" The storm has cleared, Whoo!" Natsu yelled, flaming fists flying in every direction possible. "Rogue?" You coming?" Erza asked, falling behind from the rest of the group, as she helped me too my feet. "Yes, I am coming, do not worry, Erza. I replied, before shutting my mouth, sighing, feeling drained of power, and Energy alike. "Alright then, let's get a move on!" Erza demanded, yelling at the top of her lungs, making my hold my ears. "Rogue! C'mon, hurry it up, let's go!" Sting yelled to me, as I nodded, and ran to catch up to him, Lector running behind me. Ten minutes later, we hadn't even made it 100 metres away from the cave, when Natsu asked for a break.... "No!" Not yet, we've got to keep going!" Now move it! Fool!" Erza demanded, pointing up the mountain, trudging through the deep, thickening snow. I was beginning to loose strength, as I sighed, trying my best to keep pace with Sting and everyone else. "Hey Rogue!" Hurry up!" Your fallin' behind!' Gray yelled, pulling me up with his hands, as I nodded in thanks. "Rogue....." Frosch said, noticing that he was now worried about me. "Everyone.... I muttered, stopping... I was now, exhausted, for an unknown reason. "Rogue!" What's wrong?!" Sting yelled, running to me. "Guys, I'm fine.." I said, though knowing Sting defiantly wouldn't buy it. "Never mind, let's keep going." I said, pushing through the strange sense of exhaustion, and began trudging up the mountain once more. It was not long after, when I was visibly exhausted, as Sting kept looking over at me. "Rogue!" Please, take a break!" You look like your about to pass out!" Sting demanded. In that case, I did feel like I was going to pass out, but I hated feeling weak, I hated it, I hated it so much.... But I couldn't stop it, there wasn't any way to stop it. I soon found enough power to push forwards... But what I did know... Is that it wouldn't last long... Condition WorseningWe'd better keep going forward, Everyone, Erza suddenly said, pointing in front of her, as I heard Natsu moan, and I sighed, closing my eyes for a coupe sconds, before returning to the groups pace. "Ready to keep going? Rogue? Gray asked, as I only nodded, before grabbing my bag, hoisting it over my shoulders, and stepped outside, into the cold winds of Mount Hakabei. "Okay, so, we have to get up to that path before sundown! Or we'll be dinner for the Snow Wyverns that come out at night! Erza yelled, through the slightly strong wind, as it whistled past my ears. "Aye! Got it! Happy yelled, seeing him whoosh past me, a blanket placed on his back between his Angelic Wings. "Do you always say that? Happy? Lector asked, as he flew over to the flying, blue Exceed in question. "Aye! Happy responded, lifting a paw in happiness. "Ugh... Lector groaned, before returning to Sting's side. "Erza? I asked rather suddenly, as the scarlet-haired Mage turned around to look at me. "Yes, Rogue?" Erza answered, tilting her head to the side, sightly.. "What is this "Item" That we have been tasked to find?" I asked, kindly. "Oh, I'm sorry I never mentioned it beforehand, I'll tell you all now.' Erza concluded, smiling. "The Villagers need our help with defeating Wyverns, they have been eating, and destroying the little amount of food the Villages are able to grow in this frigid cold area... Erza finished, sighing deeply. "Heh! Yea! I get to kick some Wyvern butt!" Natsu roared, as I continued to keep pace with the group... After about fifteen minutes of walking nonstop, I began to feel tired... Almost weak, but I had to keep going, no matter what I did!. I'm beginning to feel, not very well, but my only option is to remain strong, and not show any signs of weaknesses. I concluded my thoughts, and noticed the group ahead of me a ways, and I ran to catch up, my feet stumbling over rocks and piles of snow. "Hey! Rogue! You alright over there?' Gray asked, as he gave me his hand, and I took it, before being pulled up by him. "Thank you, Gray.. I responded quietly, sighing, still not feeling up to par... "Everyone! Stop! Erza yelled suddenly, coming to a complete halt in front of us, making us stumble backwards. "What is it, Erza?" Gray asked, his voice quiet, and soft, as he whispered to Erza's sudden stop, "Shhhh! Erza whispered, before pointing up to the ledge a few meters above us... What could be going on now? Maybe there is a monster up there?....!- My thoughts were cut off by a deep rumble coming from nearby, as the ground began to shake, snow falling off the ledge. "What, is, that noise? Natsu asked, as Erza gave him a rather annoyed glare, and he shut up immediately afterwards. "It's a Wyvern, Natsu... I answered, its scent drifting into my nose, smelling foul, and disgusting. "Wait! What! Oh yea! Time to kick some butt!" Natsu roared, before a large head made its way over the ledge, as it growled at up, teeth bared. "Nice job Natsu! You IDIOT! Lucy cried, shaking the Fire DragonSlayer back and forth, before returning to her previous defending stance. "I guess we have to fight, okay, lets do this boys! Erza cried, as she reequipped into her regular Armor, and brought out her Sword, readying to attack the Wyvern. "Rogue, you ready!?" Sting yelled, as I nodded, unsure if I could even fight, I wanted it, but I felt so, weak.... And powerless so suddenly... I shook my head, ridding the thought from my brain, and readied myself to fight this ugly creature. "White Dragons Slash!!! Sting cried, as he hit the Wyvern in the stomach, before being tossed off with one giant flap of its two, massive Wings. "Shadow Dragon! Roar! I yelled, as I unleashed a black wave of Shadow Light at the attacking Wyvern.... And missed... "Rogue! Come on, you've never missed an attack before! Don't start missing now!?" Sting yelled, as I saw Lector grab him, and he flew up above the Wyvern, and jumped down onto its back once more. "Hit it with your Shadow Dragons Wing Attack! Sting called to me, as I nodded, and prepared myself to attack with most of my remaining Power. "Shadow Dragon! Wing Attack! I yelled, as I hit it with my attack, knocking it down, and I smiled sightly. 'Nice Shot!!" Sting yelled, congratulating me. "It's still too early to be congratulating me, Sting, I answered, pointing up to the far side of the ledge, the Wyvern's eyes were now locked on me, and It began to chase me down. "Oh no... Rogue! Move out of the way, Sting yelled, as the Wyvern bared down on me, getting closer. "Rogue! Frosch cried, as I looked back, hearing his voice, my attention shifted onto him, instead of the Wyvern closing in. "Watch out! Sting cried once more, and my attention soon turned back to the Wyvern. "Agh! I yelled, before the Wyvern grabbed my with its' mouth, and dropped me, as I was sent falling down the ledge, and as soon sent directly into a stone wall.... "Rogue!!!!" Was all I heard, before I drifted into unconsciousness................... Motion Sick"Rogue! Rogue! Wake up! Sting cried, shaking me in his arms, welling for me to awaken. "Hmm, I groaned, sitting up slowly, regaining consciousness, and I looked around, everyone starring at me, with widened eyes. "What, happened, I asked, slowly, and I began to stand up. "You got beaten, by that stupid Wyvern... Sting growled, angrily. "Sting-Kun, calm down?' Lector said, putting one of his paws on the blonde-haired DragonSlayers' back, calming him down considerably. "Can you walk? Sting asked me, as I nodded, I wasn't helpless... I Sighed, and began walking up the Mountain once more, as the others only sighed, and continued their way upwards along with me. "Everyone, Look?!" I said, quietly, as I pointed to a small track, and we all ran over to it, noticing a train parked nearby. "What? Whats a Train doing here?!?" Erza asked in disbelief, shaking her head, her scarlet hair swaying in the breeze. "I'm not sure, Erza, but... Let's check it out, right?" Gray asked, running up to the train, before suddenly being confronted by a man. "Agh! Gray cried, jumping back, falling over into a snowbank, and getting up, unfazed. "What on EarthLand are you kids doing in such a place like this one!? The man asked, as his eyes widened at the sight of us. "Hey, I know you....? Your, Sting and Rogue, the Twin DragonSlayers, correct? The man asked again, as he walked over to us... "Correct, I answered, before coughing once again, getting yet another concerned glare from Sting and Lector, while Frosch... On the other hand, was chasing after Happy's tail. "Well, why are you youngsters here in the first place, eh?" The man asked again, as Erza began to speak. "We're Wizards from Fairy Tail, on a mission to remove the Wyverns attacking the Village nearby... Erza concluded. "Nearby!!! That Village is nowhere close to nearby, on foot. It would take another three or so days to get there! The man concluded, as Natsu, and Gray stood, their mouths hanging open, dumbfounded... "Three days?! are you completely certain?! Erza asked, desperately. "Well, Yea, I'm certain.... Though, since you Wizards are needing to get their soon, I could take you on the Train, if you don't mind? "Train!!??" Both Natsu and Sting yelped, as I stood their, already feeling nauseous,, "Oh, right, you boys are DragonSlayers, I guess, that'll be a problem... The man sighed, as he stepped inside the train door. "Thank you, Mister, we would gladly accept your offer, Erza said, climbing aboard the Train, as Natsu, and Sting wearily climbed on after her, and I did the same after them... "Hey! Rogue! You don't look Sick anymore!?" Gray said suddenly, sounding awfully cheerful, as he helped Lucy climb on after him. "Well, by train, It'll take about a day or two, depends on the weather, The man said, smiling, as he sat down in the drivers seat, took of his hat, and started the Trains engine up. "I'm gonna, be, sick.... Sting moaned, as he fell onto the floor, his motion sickness kicking in, as I suddenly began to feel it.... "So... Am... I..... Natsu managed to say, through groans. "We'll have no other choice but to bear it.... I said, though I was felling just as bad, if not worse, then Sting and Natsu..... "Welcome to the barfing Train............. Sting sighed, before passing out........ "Yea, welcome..... Sting's WorriesWarning, Told from Stings' POV. Chapter 6: Sting's Worries Rogue and I had been on this stupid damn train for over two hours, and I felt like I was going to literally die, right here, right now... "Hey, Rogue? Natsu? How.... are.... you guys holding out?.... I asked through plenty of groans, as I layed on the floor of the train, clutching my stomach. "I'd say, the same.... For you.... Sting......" Natsu finally replied, seething, as the train jerked backwards, and then forwards again. "Rogue? Sting asked, only now noticing that he was nowhere to be seen... Suddenly, a moan came from nearby, as I looked behind my sprawled out from on the floor, I turned to notice Rogue laying next to to the bathroom door, also groaning... "I hate being a DragonSlayer, I moaned, momentarily forgetting about Rogue, who was sprawled out in front of the bathroom door, holding his mouth. "Looks like you two aren't immune to Motion Sickness, either.... Erza said, smiling, as Lucy and Gray only laughed.. "Quit laughing at me right now!!" Natsu managed to say, as he gagged yet again, and rolled over. "Whatever...." Gray batted back, waving his hand annoyingly at the sick Fire DragonSlayer. "R-Ro-Rogue?...." I moaned, as the train rattled about, strong winds pushing against the sides, making it rock back and forth again and again.... "Yes, Sting...?" Rogue answered, as his sentence was cut off by the train jerking to a stop, before continuing on forwards again. "You, look.... Even worse than me..." I said, as Rogue looked back at me, and sighed, weakly... "I'm normally able, to control, my DragonSlayer, Motion Sickness..... But, for some, strange.... Reason, I'm having, a harder time... Than usual... Rogue finally answered, between many groans, I was about to open my mouth once more, when the train suddenly lurched forwards, and then came to a slow, but steady stop. "I'm afraid this is a far as I can take you for today... The man said, as he got out of the conductors seat, and stood up. "For, now?"... Erza questioned, tilting her head curiously. "Oh, well, it's getting dark now, the Wyverns will be out soon. "Wyverns...." I growled, looking back at Rogue, who was currently trying to steady himself, as he fell to the train floor moments after, his balance completely off. "Rogue!" Frosch cried, running up to his friend, and sprouting his wings, flying above the dizzy Shadow DragonSlayer. "Fro..' Rogue sighed, trying once again to steady himself, before his eyes widened..... "What is it?" I asked, finally standing up, as Nastsu waddled out of the Train, into the deep, cold snow... "That, train, certainly, took its, toll on me.... Rogue moaned, waddling back and forth. "You alright?" I asked, as I grabbed my friend by the arm, helping him steady himself, and we walked out the train door. "Is, Rogue okay?" Gray asked, once the two of us had managed to get outside of the terrible train. "I'm fine, just, sickly, and quite dizzy..." Rogue admitted, I knew he hated admitting that he wasn't feeling all that well, but it was for the better, and he knew that as well as I did. "That train must've took its toll huh?" Gray asked, as I nodded, and so did Rogue, as he fell back from my help, managing to stand on his own, after that awful, awful train ride... " AttackedIt was about an hour after Sting and I had gotten off the horrid train, along with the rest of our comrades, and we were currently heading towards a small, snowy cave that would provide us shelter for the night. "Natsu?" Would you please light the way for us?" Lucy asked, as she tightly gripped the blanket around herself, as Happy flew in beside her, his wings flapping gently, as if to not create anymore coldness then their already was... "You okay, Lucy?' Happy asked, looking at her with concern, as the blonde only nodded, and continued walking. "Sure thing!" Lucy!" Natsu roared, his fists beginning to glow brightly, as he shot a fireball into the sky, and it exploded, releasing many tiny shards of sparking rocks upon the snowy mountain. "Look!' There it is!" Happy pointed out. Pointing to the small opening in the rock. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Happy..." Gray mumbled, huffing slightly, as Happy shot him a rather unhappy look, and continued flying beside Lucy. "Are, we all going to even fit inside there?" Sting asked, tilting his head to the left, confused. "Well, we don't have much of a choice, now do we?" I asked, as Sting turned his head towards me, and sighed deeply, before nodding. I was about to say something else, when a low growl interrupted us...' And I swiftly turned my head towards the noise, my sensitive ears twitching, along with Stings' and Natsu's. "You hear that?!" Natsu whispered, putting an outstretched arm in front of all of us, keeping us back, from seeing whatever, or whomever, it was. "Could it be........ What I think it is..." Sting growled, taking a defending stance. "A Wyvern, yes, it is." I answered, not forgetting about the attack yesterday, the wound still stung rather bad, but I ignored it as best as I could. "Rogue!" Stay back!" Sting yelled, as my eyes widened, seeing both him, and Frosch standing in front of me, protectively. "You don't have to do this.." I muttered, as I got out of their path. And stood beside them, activating my Shadow DragonSlayer Magic. "Rogue!" Sting hissed, as I ignored his will to protect me, I wanted to fight, even if I was still injured, I needs to help them.. It wouldn't feel right if I wasn't fighting alongside my new comrades, it just... Wouldn't... "Alright!" Everyone!" Let's destroy this monster! Natsu roared, fists flaring, as Sting began to light up, activating his DragonSlayer Magic, alongside mine. "No!" Natsu! Wait!" Erza yelled, putting an arm in front of him, making him back up slightly. "What is it?! Erza?!?!" Natsu cried, angrily, pushing his way past her, only to be grabbed my the collar of his shirt, and pulled back. "No point in stoppin' him, Erza." Gray huffed, slumping his shoulder, as I watched Natsu go all out. "Fire Dragon!" Roar!!!!!!" Natsu screamed, releasing a powerful wave of flames, directly at the Wyvern, hitting it in the left hind-leg, knocking it down. "Oh no.... We've got trouble...." Gray yelled, pointing the the Wyvern, and I gasped, seeing two large, feathery appendages flailing about, "That things... Got wings!?!?!" Natsu cried, face shocked, but determined. "Alright!" Your turn!" Natsu yelled, nodding at the two of us, and Sting let out a cry of happiness, before shooting a glance at me, and went all out. "White Dragon! Slash Fang!!" Sting cried, hitting the Wyvern in the neck. "It's in the air!!!" Sting cried, as he was knocked off the giant creature, and fell into the snow. "Rogue!!" Go for it!" Sting yelled, climbing out of the snow. "Sting!" Unison Raid!!!??" I yelled, as he nodded, and ran up to me. "Natsu!" We need you!" Unison Raid!!" Sting yelled, as he looked over, concerned, then nodded happily, and ran over to the two of us. "Go for it!" Gray yelled, as he and Erza stood and watched up begin to combine our Magic Abilities into one. "Ready?!" Sting asked, as both me and Natsu held out our hands, and began pouring our Magic into a ball, our Magic beginning to combine with each-other. "I'm ready!" Rogue?!" Are you?!" Natsu yelled, as the Wyverns footsteps were heard approaching closer to us, a low growl also being heard, and angry growl.... "Ready!" Sting yelled, putting all his remaining available Magic Power into the Unison Magic Ball. "Unison Raid!!!!!!!!" We all yelled, as our Magic unleashed itself towards the Wyvern. Catching it off guard, the ball hit it, and exploded, as the Wyvern roared in pain, and fell to the ground, dead..... And lifeless. "Whoo!!" That was fun!" Natsu roared, jumping up, his fist in the air. As I stood nearby. I must've put too much Magic Power into that Unison Raid..... I huffed, out of Magic power meant I was weak, and unable to fight... "Rogue?' You okay?" Sting asked, as Frosch and Lector came up to me, and we all headed into the cave we were going to take shelter in for the night. "Yea, I put too much Magic into that Unison Raid, though..." I sighed, as I took out my sleeping bag and blanket, wrapping it around myself. "Here, I'll mention the snow off of the ground, so your bags and stuff won't get all wet..." Natsu offered. "Thank you, Natsu, I sighed, smiling at the Fire DragonSlayers amount of kindness. "It's been a long day, I'd say that for certain...." Erza said, as she unfolded her red sleeping-bag, and set it down on the now- dry ground of the cave, "I'd agree with that, Erza. Gray pointed out, as he began slipping into his dark blue and green sleeping bag. "Well, let's get some sleep, alright?" Erza asked, yawning. "Yes, let's..." I responded, tiredly. "Fro thinks so too!!" Frosch cried, jumping up onto my pillow, and laying down on it, above my head, "Oh, Frosch...." Lector sighed, shaking his head at my Exceeds' strange antics, and word choices. "That's Frosch for you, Lector, Sting sighed, laying down, his head looking up to the ceiling of the small, sheltered cave. "I'm going to rest, alright?" I asked, as the all nodded, and soon enough, I had fallen asleep. "Rogue seems like he's hiding something from me....." Sting motioned, sighing.... Before he drifted off to sleep. "Goodnight......."
Kicked Out of SaberTooth..."You are hereby stripped of your title as a SaberTooth Guild Member!! Now get out!!!! Yelled a furious Mirvana, who was pointing directly at the two friends, Sting Eucliffe, and Rogue Cheney. "What!?" Why?!' Sting asked, confusedly, as he looked back at Rogue, who was standing beside him, his face completely emotionless, and a scared Frosch stood beside him, currently being comforted by Lector... "I said. You two are banned from SaberTooth!' Mirvana screamed, as she Activated her Magic, and she walked over to us, a devious smirk upon her face. "This might hurt, but, I don't care, well I used to care... But not anymore..." Mirvana said, still smirking, as she came closer to us. Sting was about to open his mouth when a burning sensation in his upper arm.. As looked down, his Guild Mark had been torn off.... And soon noticed Rogue holding his lower arm, Mirvana had gotten him, too..... "Now! Go! Mirvana yelled, as we were suddenly pushed out the Guild doors by her Magical Abilities, and they were soon slammed shut in our faces.. "And never. Come, back!!' Mirvana yelled, through the now locked, closed doors of SaberTooth. "Sting?" asked a sighing Rogue Cheney, who was currently carrying his Exceed, Frosch, in his left arm. "Yeah?" Sting responded, sighing, as he looked at Lector, who was flying above him, his wings creating a small breeze, as Sting's hair drifted in it. "What shall we do, now?" He continued, as Frosch bounded down from Rogue's comfortable sleeping spot, and sprouted his wings, and flew next to Lector. "I guess, we have to find, a different Guild to join, that is our only option at this point in time..." Rogue responded, sighing, as he let his raven black hair drop down to his eyes, and blew it away. "Well, our best option for now would have to be joining Fairy Tail, we still need to earn money... Rogue said quietly, as they continued their way absentmindedly down the path towards Fairy Tail... "No way!' I'm not joining that Guild! Sting remarked, crossing his arms defiantly, and shut his eyes, looking away. "Sting, It's our only option, most other Guilds don't give Mages that have done bad deeds, a second chance... But Fairy Tail does. Rogue finished, stopping, his coat waving behind him. Sting only sighed, before looking back at the Shadow DragonSlayer, before answering. "I guess, your right, Rogue...' Sting finally gave in, as they continued their way to Fairy Tail's Guild Hall... It was about ten minutes later, when Fairy Tail came into view. And as they got closer, the two DragonSlayers noticed that most Members of the Guild were outside, in the pool, or resting on the grass. "Well, there's never any doubt that this Guild is easy to find once you spot it.. Isn't it, Rogue? Sting said, laughing slightly, as Rogue sighed, and just nodded. "I suppose...' He said finally. Suddenly. a pink-haired boy came into Stings' view, and he looked away, trying to not be noticed by the rampaging DragonSlayer..... Before he was suddenly pulled back, making him fall onto his butt. "Hey!!! What are you two freaks doing here!? Huh?!' Natsu yelled, tugging Sting by the shirt, his right fist ablaze. 'Natsu, please, tone down, Rogue said, calmly, still showing no signs of emotion whatsoever. "Rouge..... Fine... Natsu released the blonde-haired DragonSlayer from his grasp, and he fell to the ground. "Well, what are you two doing here? Natsu asked, finally calming down, as the three DragonSlayers walked to the front of the Guild Hall. "We have been kicked out of SaberTooth..." Rogue answered plainly, as Natsu scratched his head in confusion. "Ummm, what for? Natsu asked, tilting his head to the side, his pink hair falling with him. "For believing that comradeship, was what our Guild needed.... So Mirvana kicked both of us out, including Frosch and Lector... Sting suddenly cut in, interrupting Rogue. "Is that the truth?' Natsu asked, glaring at the two friends. 'Yes, it is, it is the Truth." Rogue answered firmly, but blandly. "Alright, I'll believe you two, now come with me? Natsu said suddenly, as both Sting, and Rogue where pulled inside... And all eyes where soon focused onto us, and our Exceeds. Murmurs from the Guild Members where faint, but we could hear them, loud and clear... Some we didn't want to hear.. "What are they doing here, they are from SaberTooth, right? "Yeah, didn't they ruin the Grand Magic Games? "Natsu!? Where are you taking us?!" Sting asked, as he tried to break his wrist free of Natsu's gripping grasp. 'Just come on!? Natsu begged, as he soon came to a stop in front of the Job Request Board, and let us go of his tight grasp. "You two are going to be needing to join a Guild, right? Natsu asked, raising his voice slightly, allowing most Members to hear him... "Ye-ea? Sting said, confusedly. "Then how' about you Join Fairy Tail!?' Will, you? Natsu asked, again and again, as if he was eager to have us in his Guild... "Well.... I don't know... Sting replied, trying to get away from joining Fairy Tail, but failed. "We will, both me and Sting, would like to join Fairy Tail, on your Master's' behalf.. Rogue replied, calmly. "You boys are welcome to our Guild, a mistake isn't going to keep you from joining us, boys.. Said a voice, and both Sting and Rogue turned around to see the Master of Fairy Tail in front of them, the Guild marker in his hand.. "Would you boys like to join our Guild? Macarov asked, kindly, handing the Guild marker to Rogue. "Yes, we would... Rogue said, taking the Guild maker from Macrov's outstretched hand. "Then... Welcome to Fairy Tail, boys..............
Team NatsuChapter 2:Team Natsu. Warning: Told from Rogue's POV. "Welcome to Fairy Tail, boys' I turned around, to notice a familiar, scarlet-haired Mage standing behind me, 'Thank you, Erza..... I responded, as she smiled briefly, and moved back to allow two other familiar faced Mages walk up to me and Sting. "You remember us, don't you? Gray asked, as Sting shook his head, smiling slightly, I could tell he was actually enjoying himself here, it was nice... To see people getting along, It never happened in SaberTooth, it was a new start for the both of us, including Frosch and Lector. "Your don't talk much, do you?' Gray asked me, as I shook my head, signaling that he was correct. "No, he doesn't talk much, hes very, quiet, per say. Sting announced, as Gray only nodded, before being squeezed between a chair, as a girl named Lucy popped out of nowhere. "Remember me? Lucy asked, kindly. I shook my head, 'Yes, your Lucy Heartfillia, correct, I asked, as the blonde-haired girl smiled, and nodded. "Sting, Rogue? I turned around to see Erza facing me and Sting, a rather serious but inviting look on her face. "Yes, Erza, Sting replied, backing away a bit, from her more than a little intimidating appearance. "I've come to ask you both if you would like to join our team? Erza asked, as she turned to her side, and both Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Lucy sat behind her. "Yea, c'mon dude, join the party, maybe it'll be less annoying than when it was just me and this FlameBrain here.... Gray said, before getting a rather uncomfortable punch to the face by Natsu. "That's what you get for calling me that, Icy Freak!" Natsu laughed, before he was punched back by Gray. "Boys!' Enough! Erza yelled, her face now serious... "Aye...' Natsu replied, stopping immediately, as well as Gray. "So, would you like to join our Team? Erza continued, as I nodded. 'Yes, we shall join your Team, thank you, Erza?' I said, as Sting glared at me for not giving him a chance to say anything. Great!" Erza replied happily, as I managed a small smile. "Well, I guess it's time to pick out our first job as a new Team!" Natsu roared, flames flying everywhere. "Natsu! Watch it!? Sting yelled, as he dodged a flying fireball. "Eh' heheh, sorry... Natsu responded, as he ran over to the Job Requests Board, and began looking for a suitable Job for the Team to go on. "How 'bout this one?! Natsu yelled, holding up a piece of paper in the air, waving it. "Did you find one, Natsu? Good, let me see? Erza replied, as she snatched the paper from Natsu's grasp, and read over it. "This sounds like a great Job, Natsu. Erza complied, smiling. "Well, wheres the Job taking place? Sting asked, as he sat down on the table. 'Sting, listen and you'll find out. I said, shooting him an annoyed glare. "What!?" Sting whispered back to be, as I ignored him, and focused on the task at hand. "The Job is taking place on Mount Hakabei. Erza suddenly replied, as she tucked the page into her pocket. "Hmm, sounds Interesting, I said, saying the complete opposite thing as what I'd normally say. "Yea, I guess, Sting remarked, sighing, as he got up from sitting, and walked up to me. "Alrighty!! Whee, let's go!!! Natsu yelled, walking out the door, only to be pulled back by Erza. "Natsu! Wait, we need to pack first, it seems like this Job might take a few days to complete, and we might have to camp somewhere on the Mountain, who knows... Erza finished, as she walked away, and soon returned with luggage...... A LOT, of luggage... "Do, you really, need all that, luggage? I asked, as Erza just looked at me, her eyes having since widened. "Why of course I do! Erza scoffed, as she walked out the door, and stopped. "Well, aren't you boys coming? Erza asked, as if it was obvious. "Oh.... right...." Natsu replied, smiling. "Then let's go...!" Erza replied...
Mount Hakabei"ugh, we've been walking forever!" Can we take a break now!?" Sting complained, as he dragged his bag along with him, snow covering his boots. "Yes, I suppose this is a good time to stop and set up camp for the night." Erza replied, as an exhausted Sting sighed, and dropped his bag into the snow. "Finally!" Sting said, relieved, as I glared at him, knowing that he could've gone farther than this. "Alright, Gray, Natsu, help me set up some tents? Erza ordered, as the two rivals nodded and began helping her set up. "Aye, need some help? Happy asked, as I nodded, seeing Lector and Frosch doing their own fair share of work. "No, but thank you" I finished. Walking over to the now, set up tent, I slipped off my bag, and set it down inside it. "Well, that does it. Erza continued, clapping her hands together with satisfaction. "Natsu, we're going to need a fire, think you can help us with that?" Erza asked, as I noticed the salmon-haired DragonSlayer nod, and he shot a small fireball at a pile of wood... "Where did that wood even come from?..... Sting suddenly asked, as Natsu shrugged, not caring. "Eh, whatever" Natsu sighed, as he slipped inside the tent, and came out with a blanket, throwing one to each of us. "Uh, thanks... I guess... Sting continued, catching the blanket in the air, and tossed it onto a chair he'd set up moments earlier. 'Oh, come on, Sting! We're a Team now, like, lighten up dude?" Natsu asked, patting the blonde DragonSlayer in the back, smiling, "Yea, sure... Sting commented, as he plopped onto the chair, and wrapped himself in the blanket, moving closer to the fire, clearly shivering. "Well, DragonSlayers aren't immune to the coldness, that's for one thing.... I said, actually saying something. "Yes, that's true, Erza said, as she wrapped herself in a blanket also. "Rogue? Why aren't you, cold? Lucy asked me, as I shrugged.. I actually was quite cold, but I could manage. "Rogue, you're going to catch cold, if you don't wrap up, Lector said, as he flew over to the tent, opened it, and grabbed the blanket, and handed it to me. "Thanks... I nodded, sighing, as I wrapped myself lightly in the blanket. "Of, course, Natsu and Gray don't need a blanket, Ice, and fire... simple.. Erza said firmly, as she got up, walked over to her tent, and returned with a tray of food of some sort. "Whats that?!" Natsu asked, eyes wide. "Natsu, calm down, Erza ordered, sitting back down. 'Aye.... Natsu responded..... talking like his friend, Happy.. "Hey! Don't copy me! Natsu!?" Happy yelled, as Erza handed him, Frosch, and Lector all a small blanket, big enough for them. "Thanks, Erza. Lector replied, as Erza smiled warmly back to the small Exceed. "Fro thanks you too! Frosch cried, holding up his hands in gratitude. "Well, It's very late, I think we should rest now, don't you think? Erza asked, yawning. "Yea, I've been up since six this morning... Gray replied, stretching as he yawned loudly. "Are you going to rest now? I asked Sting, as he shook his head, Nope! I'm going to stay up a little while longer. He replied. "Same with me, Natsu said, smiling. "Alright, well, I'm quite tired, I'll see you all tomorrow... I said, heading into the tent.... "Frosch? Aren't you coming? I asked, as he turned around and waddled over to me, and climbed his way into the tent, curling up beside my head. "See you tomorrow, Rogue? Sting called from outside the tent, as I sighed. "Yes, " "Goodnight, Lector, Sting! Fro yelled, as Lector replied with a quick, "Yup!" "Goodnight, Frosch.... I sighed, patting the Exceeds' head, and closed my eyes, falling asleep not long after....
Cold..."Rogue!" Get up! It's morning already!?" "Calm down, Sting, I said, as I awoke to him shaking me, with a green and pink Exceed right in front of my face. "I'm up, Sting,,, I replied, stretching, as I crawled my way out of the tent, and into the frigid cold weather of Mount Hakabei. "Cold, huh? Sting asked, as I shivered slightly... "Is there anything I may have to drink? I asked, my throat suddenly feeling dry, as Sting handed me a water bottle (That actually wasn't frozen) Thanks?" I replied, drinking the water. "Well, everyone up!?" Erza yelled, as Natsu and Gray popped out of the tents, bags all packed and everything. "Yup. now, let's get a move on, shall we?" Erza asked, as everyone, including me, nodded in agreement... And we began heading upward, to the top of Mount Hakabei, one more. "When will we reach the top, Erza? Gray asked suddenly, after about ten minutes of walking. "In about another day, depends on this frigid weather. Erza answered, as the pulled her bag onto her shoulder. I was about to say something to add onto Gray's question, when a cough interrupted me. "Rogue? You alright? Erza asked, as I saw Sting looking at me, I knew what he was thinking, I knew him like I knew my own bedroom at our house. "Yes, I'm quite fine, thank you. I replied. About fifteen minutes later, the weather started acting up, and sure enough... We soon couldn't see in front of us. "Everyone, stay close! Erza ordered, and I could barely make out her hair in the snow. "No, guys! Over here! Natsu yelled, as we noticed a giant stream of flames break through the blizzard, "I found a cave, and It's empty!! Natsu yelled, as me, and everyone else headed towards Natsu's continuous stream of flames. "Good job, Natsu! Erza said, one we had all gotten inside, free from the blizzards wrath. "Close, Gate of the Clock Constellation, Horleogium! Lucy yelled, as one of her Celestial Spirits returned to the Celestial Spirit World. "Whew, that was a Blizzard.... Lucy said, as she put her Gate Key back into it's case. "You're right about that, Lucy! Natsu said, smiling, as he patted her on the back. I sighed, leaning against the wall of the cave, cold, wet, and also, oddly exhausted... "Rogue, you sure you're alright, you're looking tired.. Erza asked, as I smiled slightly, though in truth, I was starting to feel, almost sick... "Whoo! Its party time! Natsu cried, as he ran around the cave, acting foolish. "I guess that we'll have to stay here for the remainder of the day... Erza concluded, sighing deeply. "I guess you're right, Erza... Lucy said, sighing, as she sat down at the side of the cave, leaning against the wall opposite to me. "Well, It's practically impossible to go out in that storm, it would eat you alive. I said, wrapping myself tighter in the blanket, though giving me very little warmth. "Yea, and you say that, and look at you! You look exhausted! Natsu yelled, pointing to me. "Natsu's actually right (For once) I mean, I know this won't sound nice, but Rogue, I think you've caught a cold.... Sting concluded..... "I'm very quite fine, I replied, as I sighed, turning away. "Well, everyone, get comfortable, we are going to be staying here for a looooong while...... And so began the first day of hell....
Cave In"Look!" The entrance!!" Natsu cried suddenly, pointing to the caves entrance, as a giant pile of snow blocked our path out... "We've, been, caved in, I muttered, standing up, tightening the blanket around me, now shivering relentlessly. "Rogue?" You, look, cold..." Sting said, as he helped Natsu clear the way of the cave, but unsuccessful. "To be quite honest, I'm feeling, fine, but tired... I answered, though that wasn't the truth completely. "Quit screwing around, you scoundrels!" Help us get out! Erza yelled, as she suddenly grabbed Natsu by the hair, and dragged him to the pile of snow. "Breathe fire on it!" Erza demanded, as Natsu covered his head with his arms, visibly afraid of Titania. "Aye..." Natsu replied, as he hastily began throwing fire at it, slowly beginning to melt away the ice. I sighed, leaning back against the cave walls, as Sting threw me a look of concern, and I looked away, sighing. "Rogue?" Are you alright, seriously?" Gray asked me, as I jumped, sighing. "Ye-!" I was suddenly cut off by a cute, tiny voice, "Fro is certain that Rogue-Kun is fine!" Frosch cried, jumping in front of me. "Frosch, I-..' I stopped, sighing, as I pat the small Exceed on the head, smiling softly. "Rogue!' Rouge!" Frosch cried, jumping up into my lap, his paws in the air, smiling. "What is it, Frosch?" I asked, tiredly, "Never mind, Fro replied, jumping down, and heading over to Lector. "We've cleared the exit!' Now let's go!" The storm has cleared, Whoo!" Natsu yelled, flaming fists flying in every direction possible. "Rogue?" You coming?" Erza asked, falling behind from the rest of the group, as she helped me too my feet. "Yes, I am coming, do not worry, Erza. I replied, before shutting my mouth, sighing, feeling drained of power, and Energy alike. "Alright then, let's get a move on!" Erza demanded, yelling at the top of her lungs, making my hold my ears. "Rogue! C'mon, hurry it up, let's go!" Sting yelled to me, as I nodded, and ran to catch up to him, Lector running behind me. Ten minutes later, we hadn't even made it 100 metres away from the cave, when Natsu asked for a break.... "No!" Not yet, we've got to keep going!" Now move it! Fool!" Erza demanded, pointing up the mountain, trudging through the deep, thickening snow. I was beginning to loose strength, as I sighed, trying my best to keep pace with Sting and everyone else. "Hey Rogue!" Hurry up!" Your fallin' behind!' Gray yelled, pulling me up with his hands, as I nodded in thanks. "Rogue....." Frosch said, noticing that he was now worried about me. "Everyone.... I muttered, stopping... I was now, exhausted, for an unknown reason. "Rogue!" What's wrong?!" Sting yelled, running to me. "Guys, I'm fine.." I said, though knowing Sting defiantly wouldn't buy it. "Never mind, let's keep going." I said, pushing through the strange sense of exhaustion, and began trudging up the mountain once more. It was not long after, when I was visibly exhausted, as Sting kept looking over at me. "Rogue!" Please, take a break!" You look like your about to pass out!" Sting demanded. In that case, I did feel like I was going to pass out, but I hated feeling weak, I hated it, I hated it so much.... But I couldn't stop it, there wasn't any way to stop it. I soon found enough power to push forwards... But what I did know... Is that it wouldn't last long...
Condition WorseningWe'd better keep going forward, Everyone, Erza suddenly said, pointing in front of her, as I heard Natsu moan, and I sighed, closing my eyes for a coupe sconds, before returning to the groups pace. "Ready to keep going? Rogue? Gray asked, as I only nodded, before grabbing my bag, hoisting it over my shoulders, and stepped outside, into the cold winds of Mount Hakabei. "Okay, so, we have to get up to that path before sundown! Or we'll be dinner for the Snow Wyverns that come out at night! Erza yelled, through the slightly strong wind, as it whistled past my ears. "Aye! Got it! Happy yelled, seeing him whoosh past me, a blanket placed on his back between his Angelic Wings. "Do you always say that? Happy? Lector asked, as he flew over to the flying, blue Exceed in question. "Aye! Happy responded, lifting a paw in happiness. "Ugh... Lector groaned, before returning to Sting's side. "Erza? I asked rather suddenly, as the scarlet-haired Mage turned around to look at me. "Yes, Rogue?" Erza answered, tilting her head to the side, sightly.. "What is this "Item" That we have been tasked to find?" I asked, kindly. "Oh, I'm sorry I never mentioned it beforehand, I'll tell you all now.' Erza concluded, smiling. "The Villagers need our help with defeating Wyverns, they have been eating, and destroying the little amount of food the Villages are able to grow in this frigid cold area... Erza finished, sighing deeply. "Heh! Yea! I get to kick some Wyvern butt!" Natsu roared, as I continued to keep pace with the group... After about fifteen minutes of walking nonstop, I began to feel tired... Almost weak, but I had to keep going, no matter what I did!. I'm beginning to feel, not very well, but my only option is to remain strong, and not show any signs of weaknesses. I concluded my thoughts, and noticed the group ahead of me a ways, and I ran to catch up, my feet stumbling over rocks and piles of snow. "Hey! Rogue! You alright over there?' Gray asked, as he gave me his hand, and I took it, before being pulled up by him. "Thank you, Gray.. I responded quietly, sighing, still not feeling up to par... "Everyone! Stop! Erza yelled suddenly, coming to a complete halt in front of us, making us stumble backwards. "What is it, Erza?" Gray asked, his voice quiet, and soft, as he whispered to Erza's sudden stop, "Shhhh! Erza whispered, before pointing up to the ledge a few meters above us... What could be going on now? Maybe there is a monster up there?....!- My thoughts were cut off by a deep rumble coming from nearby, as the ground began to shake, snow falling off the ledge. "What, is, that noise? Natsu asked, as Erza gave him a rather annoyed glare, and he shut up immediately afterwards. "It's a Wyvern, Natsu... I answered, its scent drifting into my nose, smelling foul, and disgusting. "Wait! What! Oh yea! Time to kick some butt!" Natsu roared, before a large head made its way over the ledge, as it growled at up, teeth bared. "Nice job Natsu! You IDIOT! Lucy cried, shaking the Fire DragonSlayer back and forth, before returning to her previous defending stance. "I guess we have to fight, okay, lets do this boys! Erza cried, as she reequipped into her regular Armor, and brought out her Sword, readying to attack the Wyvern. "Rogue, you ready!?" Sting yelled, as I nodded, unsure if I could even fight, I wanted it, but I felt so, weak.... And powerless so suddenly... I shook my head, ridding the thought from my brain, and readied myself to fight this ugly creature. "White Dragons Slash!!! Sting cried, as he hit the Wyvern in the stomach, before being tossed off with one giant flap of its two, massive Wings. "Shadow Dragon! Roar! I yelled, as I unleashed a black wave of Shadow Light at the attacking Wyvern.... And missed... "Rogue! Come on, you've never missed an attack before! Don't start missing now!?" Sting yelled, as I saw Lector grab him, and he flew up above the Wyvern, and jumped down onto its back once more. "Hit it with your Shadow Dragons Wing Attack! Sting called to me, as I nodded, and prepared myself to attack with most of my remaining Power. "Shadow Dragon! Wing Attack! I yelled, as I hit it with my attack, knocking it down, and I smiled sightly. 'Nice Shot!!" Sting yelled, congratulating me. "It's still too early to be congratulating me, Sting, I answered, pointing up to the far side of the ledge, the Wyvern's eyes were now locked on me, and It began to chase me down. "Oh no... Rogue! Move out of the way, Sting yelled, as the Wyvern bared down on me, getting closer. "Rogue! Frosch cried, as I looked back, hearing his voice, my attention shifted onto him, instead of the Wyvern closing in. "Watch out! Sting cried once more, and my attention soon turned back to the Wyvern. "Agh! I yelled, before the Wyvern grabbed my with its' mouth, and dropped me, as I was sent falling down the ledge, and as soon sent directly into a stone wall.... "Rogue!!!!" Was all I heard, before I drifted into unconsciousness...................
Motion Sick"Rogue! Rogue! Wake up! Sting cried, shaking me in his arms, welling for me to awaken. "Hmm, I groaned, sitting up slowly, regaining consciousness, and I looked around, everyone starring at me, with widened eyes. "What, happened, I asked, slowly, and I began to stand up. "You got beaten, by that stupid Wyvern... Sting growled, angrily. "Sting-Kun, calm down?' Lector said, putting one of his paws on the blonde-haired DragonSlayers' back, calming him down considerably. "Can you walk? Sting asked me, as I nodded, I wasn't helpless... I Sighed, and began walking up the Mountain once more, as the others only sighed, and continued their way upwards along with me. "Everyone, Look?!" I said, quietly, as I pointed to a small track, and we all ran over to it, noticing a train parked nearby. "What? Whats a Train doing here?!?" Erza asked in disbelief, shaking her head, her scarlet hair swaying in the breeze. "I'm not sure, Erza, but... Let's check it out, right?" Gray asked, running up to the train, before suddenly being confronted by a man. "Agh! Gray cried, jumping back, falling over into a snowbank, and getting up, unfazed. "What on EarthLand are you kids doing in such a place like this one!? The man asked, as his eyes widened at the sight of us. "Hey, I know you....? Your, Sting and Rogue, the Twin DragonSlayers, correct? The man asked again, as he walked over to us... "Correct, I answered, before coughing once again, getting yet another concerned glare from Sting and Lector, while Frosch... On the other hand, was chasing after Happy's tail. "Well, why are you youngsters here in the first place, eh?" The man asked again, as Erza began to speak. "We're Wizards from Fairy Tail, on a mission to remove the Wyverns attacking the Village nearby... Erza concluded. "Nearby!!! That Village is nowhere close to nearby, on foot. It would take another three or so days to get there! The man concluded, as Natsu, and Gray stood, their mouths hanging open, dumbfounded... "Three days?! are you completely certain?! Erza asked, desperately. "Well, Yea, I'm certain.... Though, since you Wizards are needing to get their soon, I could take you on the Train, if you don't mind? "Train!!??" Both Natsu and Sting yelped, as I stood their, already feeling nauseous,, "Oh, right, you boys are DragonSlayers, I guess, that'll be a problem... The man sighed, as he stepped inside the train door. "Thank you, Mister, we would gladly accept your offer, Erza said, climbing aboard the Train, as Natsu, and Sting wearily climbed on after her, and I did the same after them... "Hey! Rogue! You don't look Sick anymore!?" Gray said suddenly, sounding awfully cheerful, as he helped Lucy climb on after him. "Well, by train, It'll take about a day or two, depends on the weather, The man said, smiling, as he sat down in the drivers seat, took of his hat, and started the Trains engine up. "I'm gonna, be, sick.... Sting moaned, as he fell onto the floor, his motion sickness kicking in, as I suddenly began to feel it.... "So... Am... I..... Natsu managed to say, through groans. "We'll have no other choice but to bear it.... I said, though I was felling just as bad, if not worse, then Sting and Natsu..... "Welcome to the barfing Train............. Sting sighed, before passing out........ "Yea, welcome.....
Sting's WorriesWarning, Told from Stings' POV. Chapter 6: Sting's Worries Rogue and I had been on this stupid damn train for over two hours, and I felt like I was going to literally die, right here, right now... "Hey, Rogue? Natsu? How.... are.... you guys holding out?.... I asked through plenty of groans, as I layed on the floor of the train, clutching my stomach. "I'd say, the same.... For you.... Sting......" Natsu finally replied, seething, as the train jerked backwards, and then forwards again. "Rogue? Sting asked, only now noticing that he was nowhere to be seen... Suddenly, a moan came from nearby, as I looked behind my sprawled out from on the floor, I turned to notice Rogue laying next to to the bathroom door, also groaning... "I hate being a DragonSlayer, I moaned, momentarily forgetting about Rogue, who was sprawled out in front of the bathroom door, holding his mouth. "Looks like you two aren't immune to Motion Sickness, either.... Erza said, smiling, as Lucy and Gray only laughed.. "Quit laughing at me right now!!" Natsu managed to say, as he gagged yet again, and rolled over. "Whatever...." Gray batted back, waving his hand annoyingly at the sick Fire DragonSlayer. "R-Ro-Rogue?...." I moaned, as the train rattled about, strong winds pushing against the sides, making it rock back and forth again and again.... "Yes, Sting...?" Rogue answered, as his sentence was cut off by the train jerking to a stop, before continuing on forwards again. "You, look.... Even worse than me..." I said, as Rogue looked back at me, and sighed, weakly... "I'm normally able, to control, my DragonSlayer, Motion Sickness..... But, for some, strange.... Reason, I'm having, a harder time... Than usual... Rogue finally answered, between many groans, I was about to open my mouth once more, when the train suddenly lurched forwards, and then came to a slow, but steady stop. "I'm afraid this is a far as I can take you for today... The man said, as he got out of the conductors seat, and stood up. "For, now?"... Erza questioned, tilting her head curiously. "Oh, well, it's getting dark now, the Wyverns will be out soon. "Wyverns...." I growled, looking back at Rogue, who was currently trying to steady himself, as he fell to the train floor moments after, his balance completely off. "Rogue!" Frosch cried, running up to his friend, and sprouting his wings, flying above the dizzy Shadow DragonSlayer. "Fro..' Rogue sighed, trying once again to steady himself, before his eyes widened..... "What is it?" I asked, finally standing up, as Nastsu waddled out of the Train, into the deep, cold snow... "That, train, certainly, took its, toll on me.... Rogue moaned, waddling back and forth. "You alright?" I asked, as I grabbed my friend by the arm, helping him steady himself, and we walked out the train door. "Is, Rogue okay?" Gray asked, once the two of us had managed to get outside of the terrible train. "I'm fine, just, sickly, and quite dizzy..." Rogue admitted, I knew he hated admitting that he wasn't feeling all that well, but it was for the better, and he knew that as well as I did. "That train must've took its toll huh?" Gray asked, as I nodded, and so did Rogue, as he fell back from my help, managing to stand on his own, after that awful, awful train ride... "
AttackedIt was about an hour after Sting and I had gotten off the horrid train, along with the rest of our comrades, and we were currently heading towards a small, snowy cave that would provide us shelter for the night. "Natsu?" Would you please light the way for us?" Lucy asked, as she tightly gripped the blanket around herself, as Happy flew in beside her, his wings flapping gently, as if to not create anymore coldness then their already was... "You okay, Lucy?' Happy asked, looking at her with concern, as the blonde only nodded, and continued walking. "Sure thing!" Lucy!" Natsu roared, his fists beginning to glow brightly, as he shot a fireball into the sky, and it exploded, releasing many tiny shards of sparking rocks upon the snowy mountain. "Look!' There it is!" Happy pointed out. Pointing to the small opening in the rock. "Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Happy..." Gray mumbled, huffing slightly, as Happy shot him a rather unhappy look, and continued flying beside Lucy. "Are, we all going to even fit inside there?" Sting asked, tilting his head to the left, confused. "Well, we don't have much of a choice, now do we?" I asked, as Sting turned his head towards me, and sighed deeply, before nodding. I was about to say something else, when a low growl interrupted us...' And I swiftly turned my head towards the noise, my sensitive ears twitching, along with Stings' and Natsu's. "You hear that?!" Natsu whispered, putting an outstretched arm in front of all of us, keeping us back, from seeing whatever, or whomever, it was. "Could it be........ What I think it is..." Sting growled, taking a defending stance. "A Wyvern, yes, it is." I answered, not forgetting about the attack yesterday, the wound still stung rather bad, but I ignored it as best as I could. "Rogue!" Stay back!" Sting yelled, as my eyes widened, seeing both him, and Frosch standing in front of me, protectively. "You don't have to do this.." I muttered, as I got out of their path. And stood beside them, activating my Shadow DragonSlayer Magic. "Rogue!" Sting hissed, as I ignored his will to protect me, I wanted to fight, even if I was still injured, I needs to help them.. It wouldn't feel right if I wasn't fighting alongside my new comrades, it just... Wouldn't... "Alright!" Everyone!" Let's destroy this monster! Natsu roared, fists flaring, as Sting began to light up, activating his DragonSlayer Magic, alongside mine. "No!" Natsu! Wait!" Erza yelled, putting an arm in front of him, making him back up slightly. "What is it?! Erza?!?!" Natsu cried, angrily, pushing his way past her, only to be grabbed my the collar of his shirt, and pulled back. "No point in stoppin' him, Erza." Gray huffed, slumping his shoulder, as I watched Natsu go all out. "Fire Dragon!" Roar!!!!!!" Natsu screamed, releasing a powerful wave of flames, directly at the Wyvern, hitting it in the left hind-leg, knocking it down. "Oh no.... We've got trouble...." Gray yelled, pointing the the Wyvern, and I gasped, seeing two large, feathery appendages flailing about, "That things... Got wings!?!?!" Natsu cried, face shocked, but determined. "Alright!" Your turn!" Natsu yelled, nodding at the two of us, and Sting let out a cry of happiness, before shooting a glance at me, and went all out. "White Dragon! Slash Fang!!" Sting cried, hitting the Wyvern in the neck. "It's in the air!!!" Sting cried, as he was knocked off the giant creature, and fell into the snow. "Rogue!!" Go for it!" Sting yelled, climbing out of the snow. "Sting!" Unison Raid!!!??" I yelled, as he nodded, and ran up to me. "Natsu!" We need you!" Unison Raid!!" Sting yelled, as he looked over, concerned, then nodded happily, and ran over to the two of us. "Go for it!" Gray yelled, as he and Erza stood and watched up begin to combine our Magic Abilities into one. "Ready?!" Sting asked, as both me and Natsu held out our hands, and began pouring our Magic into a ball, our Magic beginning to combine with each-other. "I'm ready!" Rogue?!" Are you?!" Natsu yelled, as the Wyverns footsteps were heard approaching closer to us, a low growl also being heard, and angry growl.... "Ready!" Sting yelled, putting all his remaining available Magic Power into the Unison Magic Ball. "Unison Raid!!!!!!!!" We all yelled, as our Magic unleashed itself towards the Wyvern. Catching it off guard, the ball hit it, and exploded, as the Wyvern roared in pain, and fell to the ground, dead..... And lifeless. "Whoo!!" That was fun!" Natsu roared, jumping up, his fist in the air. As I stood nearby. I must've put too much Magic Power into that Unison Raid..... I huffed, out of Magic power meant I was weak, and unable to fight... "Rogue?' You okay?" Sting asked, as Frosch and Lector came up to me, and we all headed into the cave we were going to take shelter in for the night. "Yea, I put too much Magic into that Unison Raid, though..." I sighed, as I took out my sleeping bag and blanket, wrapping it around myself. "Here, I'll mention the snow off of the ground, so your bags and stuff won't get all wet..." Natsu offered. "Thank you, Natsu, I sighed, smiling at the Fire DragonSlayers amount of kindness. "It's been a long day, I'd say that for certain...." Erza said, as she unfolded her red sleeping-bag, and set it down on the now- dry ground of the cave, "I'd agree with that, Erza. Gray pointed out, as he began slipping into his dark blue and green sleeping bag. "Well, let's get some sleep, alright?" Erza asked, yawning. "Yes, let's..." I responded, tiredly. "Fro thinks so too!!" Frosch cried, jumping up onto my pillow, and laying down on it, above my head, "Oh, Frosch...." Lector sighed, shaking his head at my Exceeds' strange antics, and word choices. "That's Frosch for you, Lector, Sting sighed, laying down, his head looking up to the ceiling of the small, sheltered cave. "I'm going to rest, alright?" I asked, as the all nodded, and soon enough, I had fallen asleep. "Rogue seems like he's hiding something from me....." Sting motioned, sighing.... Before he drifted off to sleep. "Goodnight......."
