Sting and Rogues' Misadventures

We'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...................
