Chapter 5
One day before The Grand Magic Games
Third person Point Of View
Ruka had woken up early the next morning, seeing a blonde sleeping next to her. Not wanting to wake him up, she carefully got out of bed, pulling on some casual clothes, and silently going existing the room. She had only been to Crocus once in her life in a mission, leaving no space for sightseeing.
So that is how she found herself endlessly wandering around Crocus, the flower blooming capital. The sweet smells of the flowers had rubbed on her clothes, making her smell like a walking flower. Along the way she had boughten a white and purple flower crown, to fit in with the crowd. It was around 9 when she found both her boyfriend and best friend, gathered in the center of a crowd. They were obviously fighting, taking on wannabe wizards.
"Let me join in in the fun, boys."
"Look it's her."
"I hear she's dating, Sting Eucliffe...lucky person."
"She Ruka Galaxia, the galaxy dragon slayer..."
The black haired girl smiled at the compliments amd murmurs.
Sting walked over to her and kissed her cheek. They were a few awwws from the crowd, especially from the girls. A new wizard came up and immediately went after Rogue. He didn't even need to do anything as he just crashed his face into the pavement. "No fair Rogue, I wanted to take him down." "Well, you shouldn't have been so slow." "Was not." "Was too."
Three more wizard ran up, and the three dragon slayers smirked. They continued to fight until the wizard were in the floor and beat up too. She opened another lollipop and popped it in her mouth.
Some people from the crowd had now started to bring more attention as they kept shouting for us to fight. Ruka was leaning on Sting waiting for someone to come. But, she wasn't ready for him.
Five minutes before
"Fight!"
"Ohhh" a fiery pink haired boy exclaimed.
He rushed over to the crowd and made his way through the front.
"Who"s trying to start a fight during the festival?"
"All the guilds of Fiore are here, right?" A blue exceed asked.
"Hold up, Natsu!" Another blonde shouted.
A man was pushed into the pavement and looked pretty beat up.
"Still want more?" The black haired girl asked. She placed her foot on top of his back, pressing her heel of her ankle boots.
"That was a total joke" Lector and Juri exclaimed.
"Fro thinks so too~".
"Those are the dragon slayers of Sabertooth."
"Sting, Rogue and Ruka!"
"They're the strongest memebers of the strongest guild."
The pink haired boy crawled on the floor to get a better look at the fight, "Sabertooth?"
Sting and Ruka turned around to see who asked the most retarded question ever.
Their mouths dropped in surprise and soon came out of their daydream amd smirked down on him.
Ruka stepped a bit forward to examine her brother. He looked exactly the same, just like when he left for Tenroujima. He hadn't aged a bit, not even a bit. She wasn't angry, upset, sad, that he was right in front of her. She was delighted that she would actually be able to give him when he deserves.
Natsu looked up at the girl who was examing him with curiosity. She looked quite familiar, like an older version of someone he knew. Black hair, red eyes, that smile that can brighten anyone's day. But, it couldn't be. Right?
"You must be...Natsu Dragneel" Sting awed.
Natsu looked very confused. How did these people know who he was and that girl with them, why did she look a lot like his sister. It clicked. This is the girl he had seen in a magazine, the one Bisca had left on a table one day at the guild.
The three exceeds walked up to Happy, the other blue exceed.
"Neko!" Happy shouted. The exceeds were surprised and confused by his statement.
"What with that cat and it's idiotic face!?"
"Idiot!~"
"You two, must you criticize people or..cats the moment you see them."
"They spoke!!?"
Lucy sweatdropped at Happy and his obliviousness. "Should I even bother butting in here..."
Sting approached Ruka and Natsu and leaned a bit down, to get a better look at him.
"HAHAAA! So those rumors about you entering The Great Magic Tournament...those were true?!"
"You know about me?"
"Who wouldn't know about you, don't you remember me....Acnologia..you're the dragon slayer that couldn't defeat a dragon... right...Onii-Chan."
Natsu's face was pale, and completely shocked to hear that this girl was his sister. She gave him an innocent face, like what she had said was the most casual thing ever.
"Then what's the point of being a dragon slayer?" Sting said as he leaned into his face. Natsu scowled at him.
"Ah?"
"I used to look up to you a long time ago...by the way this is Gajil-San."
"And just like you, we wanted to become dragon slayers."
"Dragon Slayers!? You two are Dragon Slayers?"
"But, you should probably call us True Dragon Slayers, Onii-Chan—."
"After all, we could probably defeat Acnologia."
Natsu looked at his sister and the blonde angered. How could she say something? And why on Fiore were they finishing each other's sentences?!
"You're only able to say that because you haven't seen Acnologia!" Lucy exclaimed.
The black haired girl turned to glare at her and Lucy felt a chills go down her spine. When had she become so intimidating.
"Yeah, that's right!"
"What a stupid looking cat."
"You're so smart, Lector."
The couple walked back to where Rogue was standing and continued to explain.
"It doesn't matter if we've seen it before."
"This is the difference between the—"
"Kind Dragon slayer you are and we are."
Lector and Juri then walked up to us and turned their backs to us.
"Let us explain even further."
"Natsu-Kun having gained his dragon slaying magic from an actual dragon, is known as First Generation-"
"While Laxus-Kun and Cobra-Kun form Oracion Seis, who are able to use dragon slaying magic from dragon lacrima implanted in their bodies, are called Second Generation."
Juri continued the explaining, while Lector just admired her. The little red cat had a silly crush on his fellow exceed.
"And then, Ruka-Chan, Sting-Kun, And Rogue-Kun are hybrids, having both a dragon parent like you, and also having Dragon Lacrima implanted in their bodies and known as Third Generation, the ultimate Dragon Slayers."
"Did you lose your dragons in the year 777 too? And when did you get dragon lacrima implanted on your body, Ruka?"
"I don't have to answer you that, but...I got it implanted 4 years ago."
The third generation dragon slayers shared a look and nodded.
"Well..not exactly..Onii-Chan."
"Let's just tell him the truth."
"The dragons that taught us dragon slaying magic—" Sting started.
"We destroyed it with our own bare hands" Ruka finished with a smirk. She had never told her brother the truth behind her adopted mother. That she had actually killed her.
"In order to become True Dragon Slayers."
Their faces were all different, each with a different emotion. Lucy was shocked with fear. 'How could one person defeat a dragon' she thought.
"They killed a...dragon!"
Happy with shocked, a surprised shock. Did his sister figure always hide this terrifying side of her's behind her sweet smile he always saw. Did she she hide her deepet darkest secret behind her eyes.
"Humans...killed a dragon...."
Natsu must have been the worst. His face read anger all over. His sister, the sweet child he once known was...gone. She had become something else...her smile wasn't the same, it didn't read friendly. It read...that she was up to no good, merciless. But what was worse...she claims to have killed Cassiopeia. But did she. When she had meet up with Natsu after 777, nightmares terrorized her dreams. She would constantly be saying sorry during her sleep. But that didn't prove anything. His sister was a...monster.
"You killed your parents...!"
And all his sister did was give him her signature smirk. And he snapped. He ran up to her and grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up. Her tip of ankle boots were barely touching the ground. They were eye to eye and she seemed unfazed by the fact her brother was angry at her. Natsu was getting annoyed that all she did was smirk at him. "Why are you lying!"
"What ever do you mean, Onii—"
"Don't call me that, just tell me" he growled.
Sting scowled at the sight if his girlfriend being held like that. He started to walk toward the, but she waved her hand at him.
"I killed Cassiopeia, are you happy with my answer. I never told you because I couldn't talk about it, but when I meet Sting, I was able to tell him everything. Just goes to show how much of a bad brother you were."
"But why did you leave! You could have stayed...waited for me!"
"You left Natsu. What did you expect me to do? Sit by the window and wait all these seven years for you. Watch my guild," Ruka quoted the word 'guild' with her fingers.
"Become a laughing stock, you think I could be part of something like that. No..Natsu, I left to be part of something great....but, I also want to thank you" she smirked at him.
She could see the anger written all over his face from what she had said. "You could have stood up for the guild, your family!" He yelled.
"What family and that's exactly what I want to thank you about. Thank you Natsu for never letting me join your stupid guild you're part of" She spat at him. She pushed him off her and walked towards Sting, straightening her collar.
He checked her neck to check any signs of bruising or any kind of injury. They starting walking away but he turned back to Natsu.
"If the main event end up being a battle I'll show you...what the true power of a Dragon Slayer is."
"What the true power of a Dragon Slayer is" repeated Rogue.
"Nggggggghhhhhh" Natsu screamed. They started walking away, but the Black Haired Girl turned back and smiled at the boy.
"Let's definitely not battle during the Games...not that I'm scared of you, tell Erza I send my request...you do know what I'm taking about right Natsu or do you still have flames for a brain."
Lucy covered her mouth in shock, Happy fainted, Natsu just screamed.
She chuckled and she wanted to anger her brother even more. She turned Sting's head to face her. She gave Natsu a quick peak to see if her was looking and sure enough he was fuming.
She kissed him. Sting was really surprised about the sudden action but kissed her anyways. She separated and looked towards Natsu's way and he was fuming and shaking Lucy back and forth in anger.
"You should do that more often, Ruka~".
And all she did was smile at him with a dreamy look in her eyes.
