Galuna Island

[Bloodedge]

"Not that there's much to be said about either of you," was Axel's snide comment for the moment. Both fighters opposing him seemed to be at least reasonable enough in their abilities to avoid the damage of his lightning trident, but this didn't bother Axel at all. Even at this pace, they may as well have been moving in slow motion to him. In fact, the younger and older brothers next attempted to take their places at his rear and front respectively. Axel had plenty of time to look behind him, having seen the younger of the two move there, only to then notice that his mouth was very... very open. 'Well that's unbecoming,' he thought as his gaze returned to the approaching elder brother. In a flash, Axel moved behind the latter male, both avoiding his efforts of knocking the Dragon Slayer into the other man's mouth, and putting himself in prime position to kick at the man's back with the intention of forcing him into his brother's mouth instead.

"Hai!" Hana said with much enthusiasm as he awaited the beginning of this fight. As Iris made her first move, the male figure she was up against dashed forward as well. Her crystal fist went forward, and he swayed to the side and spun around to her rear. From this vantage point, he aimed to simply touch her on the back. If he did, though, Iris would be at the mercy of his Magic indefinitely, until his defeat.

[Apollymi]

A rather shocking turn of events was about to take place. With Axel having moved out of the way of the supposed sly manuever attempted by the brothers, the elder brother was hence kicked into the mouth of his younger brother. Surprisingly enough though, neither brother tried to stop this from happening. Both seemed committed and right after, the younger would be seen swallowing his elder brother whole through that impossibly large mouth of his. A grin would come to his face soon after as he began feeling the warm fullness associated with a satisfying meal. "Hmm, I actually managed to consume brother... how sad. Well... not really, huehuehuehue~" the younger brother said laughing at his own joke. Having used his absorption magic to consume his own sibling one might wonder why, but it would become obvious in a few seconds. "Multi-Angle Acid." the young man would say, exuding an immense amount of acid balls and created them from all angles aiming to pelt the Lighting Dragon Slayer.

Iris on the other hand, was now facing off against a strange man. She wasn't sure what to expect from him, but he seemed at least capable enough to move towards and past her while she charged him. As unusual as that was, he also simply aimed to get behind her. His form of attack wasn't a strike of any sort or anything which could be conceived of as particularly malevolent. He simply aimed to touch her, and Iris would feel the man's hand upon her back... but she was unsure of what would happen next, but she felt a surge of magic.

[Bloodedge]

"... Gross," Axel said as he watched one brother literally eat the other. It seemed in the following moments that this was something the remaining male desired, but aside from the fact that he had just swallowed a person whole, Axel was unfazed. It appeared to be the case that the younger brother gained the other's Magic when this was done, as he went on to use the very same Acid Magic the other man had recently used. "Rairyuu no..." Axel began. When the globs of acid were coming his way, Axel utilized his Lightning Body technique and moved between the globs on his way toward the Absorption Mage. "Tekken!" The speed at which he moved in this lightning form gave Axel a great amount of momentum; so much that when he reached the man, he threw his fist forward with enough force to knock him off the temple, in addition to the blunt damage provided by the Lightning Dragon's Iron Fist.

In the other battle taking place here atop the temple, the third member of the group performing Moon Drip had recently succeeded in making physical contact with his opponent. With this done, his physical assault was done. "Rupture!" He clapped his hands, and initiated his Magic of preference... which would begin pressurizing the Magic within Iris at an increasingly fast rate. "What a pity. This would have been much more marvelous with the amount of Magic Power that other one has," he said. Throughout the process of this compression, Iris would find herself glowing green and being lifted from the ground. But, the finale would not come just yet. Several moments would be allowed to pass before her Magic Power literally exploded from the amount of pressurization applied, leaving Iris at the mercy of the effect. With the amount of energy she had, this was not incredibly likely to be fatal, but he did not expect her to be capable of much when this was over.

[Apollymi]

It would seem that this brother would have no more luck with the usage of his brother's magic than his brother had previously. Axel seemed to simply out speed the man's spells, allowing him the ability to be able to move through the supposed acid faster than it'd be able to touch him. Beyond this he aimed to hit the man which he rightly couldn't block given his lesser speed though he tried to block the hit would seen him careening off the edge of the building and in upsetting his stomach force him to spit out his elder brother whole. The elder of the two would be seen holding on to the side of the pyramid thereafter, only to flip himself back onto the edge several torrents of acid streaming up from the ground as he spit some directly towards the Lightning Dragon Slayer. "It's a shame... he just wanted to make you part of him. Now I'll have to make you disappear in his honor." he mentioned apparently sad that his brother had fallen from such a great height. He couldn't known that this man had landed on one of the wider platforms below and though unconscious and broken he was likely still living.

The surge of magic power that Iris felt had nothing to do with herself and everything to do with the magic coming from the man who touched her. "Well, crap." thought Iris as she felt her own magic power turning against her as time carried on. She gained a green glow then rather suddenly she exploded outward. The amount of power she had, made it so it didn't kill her, but the pain was incomprehensible. Beyond that she seemed very broken as she hit the ground again with a thud. "Ouch!~" she managed, though stunned she supposed it was better than the possibility of dying right just now. Takara looked from her present perch as if bemused. She was presently licking her paws clean and though she'd seen Iris get attacked and fall she'd yet to make any moves to help the younger pairing of their group. 'Yeah... we'll just see what Hana does before I decide to do something about this guy.' she thought absently giving herself time to decide if she'd do something.

[Bloodedge]

Axel thought that he'd completed his task without a hitch. Never did he think, however, that the younger male would regurgitate his elder while falling. Axel was taken by surprise as acid emerged from the ground beneath him. At the same time, more acid was spewed directly from the mouth of his enemy, causing Axel to be engulfed from two sides. It wasn't until the acid receded that Axel could be seen again. His skin bore the scale pattern of the Dragon Force transformation, and the visible Magic Power surrounding his body was even further proof of his evolution. The dissolving attribute of the acid was combated by Dragon Force, albeit later than Axel would have liked. Traces of the acid's contact with his flesh and clothing were upon him, but his transformation had developed in time to save him. "That's some damn dirty Magic you've got there. Here I thought I'd be able to look like a badass and finish you off without breaking a sweat. But, I'll give you one more shot at me."

"Iris!" Hana shouted as Iris began to float, prior to her Magic Power exploding. He immediately responded by once again combining a healing spell with his Dragon's Roar, focusing it on Iris once more to repair any physical damage done to her. Following this, he prepared another spell. "O swift wind that dashes through the heavens..." he chanted, conjuring a magical aura around Iris to allow her the ability of levitation, while also increasing her maneuverability and general speed. "VERNIER! Joutai Ijou Kaifuku Mahou... Reeze!" Another spell followed the boost of movement on Iris. This one would place a green glow upon Iris, removing the effect of other spells which affected her body, such as the Rupture Magic of their present enemy. Afterwards, he would chain yet another spell. "Joutai Ijou Taisei Enchanto... Riireeze!" A permanent lime-colored glow would encase Iris after this final chant, but this one also branched out to Takara, as well as Hana himself. This was a development of the previous spell, but one that would prevent such Magic from working for its duration. When all three spells were done being cast, Hana fell to both knees and began panting. His Magic seemed to take quite a toll on him, but in this case, he felt it to be a necessary sacrifice that he use all three of these supportive spells in conjunction.

[Apollymi]

This elder brother was quite shocked when the man he'd attacked randomly seemed to charge himself with lightning and come again. To his credit he was quite afraid of what he was witnessing but still managing to hold his composure. But the visage of Axel's scaly skin and beyond that the magic power burning away all he'd done before was frightening. The commentary about his magic being dirty made the man frown. "I don't think you get to talk about dirty magic." he mentioned clapping his hands together and then slamming them into the ground. This would result in the man pouring a large quantity of his magic power into a single blast which would create a column of acid to well up from beneath the young man before him...

Meanwhile Iris found herself being recovered by a series of spells which were forced onto her person by none other than Hana. She supposed when the young lad had mentioned that he'd support her, she hadn't thought he'd do so with such vigor and utter layering of separate spells. His hasty use of said spells made it so that Iris was soon standing on her own two feet feeling better than ever. A grin crossed her face as she felt her power return but she still managed to be nice to her companion. "Nice job, Hana. Gomen... I didn't mean to make you have to do so much, I definitely owe ya' one... I feel great now!~" she said still utterly astounded by the feelings she was presently having. Like this she felt like she couldn't lose, and what was more, there was now a distinct amount of aggression coming from Iris which would help her magic power manifest in a very specific way. Flakes of crystals built up on the skin of her arms and legs like armor pieces which made her grin uncontrollably. A second thereafter she spoke to her would-be assailant. "Oi, that was just plain dirty. Time to pay you back." she mentioned with the increased speed and maneuverability granted by one of Hana's spells she'd very quickly find herself at the fore of her opponent, with a single fist she'd then aim to begin pummeling this man, her left crystal covered fist swinging into the right side of his jaw. This would immediately be followed by her right leg swinging into his gut in the hopes of doubling him over, and if that worked she simply drop her left elbow also covered in crystal right on top of his head. One might wonder where, Iris learned to brawl this way, but to be honest she was a bit of a street urchin before she was anything else... fighting was simply part of her day to day life at this point.

All the while Takara found herself checking on Hana and eyeing the fight, and fully acknowledging the spell which extended to her as well. But given the seriousness of the beatdown Iris seemed to be trying to lay into her opponent, Takara decided she was better suited to dealing with their now tired Sky Dragon Slayer."I take it then, you are alright Hana... would you like to be carried for your efforts?" she asked of him with as much of a smirk as her feline features would allow.

[Bloodedge]

Axel merely snickered when his opponent addressed his earlier comment, implying that he also utilized so-called dirty magic. "Don't let me down," he said nonchalantly while waiting for the man's next move. When it came, Axel discovered one thing: This man did, in fact, disappoint him with this attack. He stood in place as the acid rose from the ground beneath him, inhaling while forming lightning within his mouth. "Rairyuu no..." The moment this spurt of acid receded, Axel was leaning forward with his mouth wide open and spewing a massive wave of lightning toward his target. "Houkou!" This spell was long-reaching and powerful, and even if it failed to kill, exposure to the Lightning Dragon's Roar had a very high probability of causing paralysis.

Meanwhile, Hana smiled at Iris when she rose, seeming to have recovered as intended. "Hai! Gambatte!" he shouted to cheer the woman on as she returned to the fight at hand. In the meantime, he was offered a lift by Takara, but the boy shook his head in response. "Iie. I'll be fine. I'm just glad I can be of help here," he said while pulling himself up from the ground. Iris' enemy seemed unfazed by the Sky Dragon Slayer's healing of his comrade. In fact, his very next action was an attempt to reactivate his Magic and cause Iris to explode once more. However, this seemed to fail. He tried again and again, but in the midst of these attempts, he fell prey to Iris' assault on his person. A punch to the jaw turned his head and shattered his jawbone. A leg to his abdomen caused the immediate curling of his body into somewhat of a standing fetal position. Finally, an elbow to his head left him contused at the very least. Still, he did not allow himself to fall just yet. He was quite in capable of finding out why his Magic stopped working, though. "Rgh! What are you people?"

[Apollymi]

The elder brother, seemed to have attacked this man again. But sadly even he knew that his last attack was a disappointment, as the young man before him had no problem apparently using his magic beyond this point. It was amazing to witness this Dragon Slayer using his roar. And when it left his mouth and came towards this man, there was literally nothing to be done about it. His body fried and froze with the intensity of the electrocution and after a few seconds of spasms he simply fell to the ground... likely unconscious possibly dead. Either way he wouldn't be getting back up any time soon.

Meanwhile, Iris was still facing her attacker, who for the most part seemed stunned that his attacks weren't working and then beyond amazed by the kind of beat down Iris had just laid on him. A bit of a shock came to her face as she was asked who they were and she thought about it for just a second before she answered. Her voice at this moment was clear and not the slightest bit mocking she was just rather acutely. "Fairy Tail." she said before she did something rather odd. Since her opponent was still standing and had gone out of his way to try and keep attacking her in a way which would cause her extreme pain, she'd finish him off with something just as disastrous. "Gyoryuu no..." she said taking a huge breath which would create a large space within her to create a massive breath based attack. "Houkou!~" she exhaled a massive breath attack which mixed in a shining plethora of gemstones in a variety of colors and sized as shrapnel which would aim to engulf the man before her causing him enough physical damage to very swiftly end this battle. At this point, Takara couldn't even say anymore. She wasn't surprised by many things, but even with having an inkling of the kind of power Iris could possess, she hadn't actually thought that the girl would be an actual Dragon Slayer.

[Bloodedge]

"Ja ne~" Axel said, offering his single and final farewell to the enemy he'd been up against for the duration of this encounter. He returned to his normal state, turning away from the fallen man and moving instead toward Iris, Hana and Takara, wondering how all were faring against their challenger. When he approached, what he saw brought a sly grin to his face.

Hana seemed gleeful when Iris' status as a Dragon Slayer was unveiled. Being as young as he was, the boy was always elated to be able to relate to anyone else, and there was no greater similarity than this. "Sugoi," he said during what could only be called a light-show as the crystals shimmered via the moon's rays. At the end of Iris' roar, the brown-haired man who seemed moments from keeling over already, had been left tattered and beaten by this final attack. Within seconds, he was on the ground with an open mouth, and no signs of returning to the here and now.

[Apollymi]

With all that happened in those few seconds, the appraisal of her abilities made Iris take a gander towards Hana who seemed most elated by her apparent abilities as a Dragon Slayer. The raven haired girl to her credit had the nerve to look just a little bit sheepish as she blushed slightly and rubbed a hand against the back of her head. "Hmm, well if you think so. Honestly, I think I shouldn't have done that... it was a bit overkill." she said a small smirk on her face. She had also caught sight of the returning Lighting Dragon Slayer and she smiled at him as well. "Axel~ Take it everything went okay with you too?" she mused with a grin, knowing full well that she didn't need to question this, and meaning only to skip over the possible questions about her Dragon Slayer Magic.

This was immediately caught by Takara who now had a bemused look on her cat face as she sauntered over to the girl and began running through her legs. "You know you can't simply play that off as if it didn't happen." mentioned the cat but to her credit Iris managed to look unfazed.
