The morning was cool during the earlier hours of the day, but as the sun started to rise, so did the unnatural heat in the air. While the sun was out and it was quite warm, most of the light was hidden by clouds that hung in the air above magnolia. The heat plus the moisture created a almost unnatural humidity that clung onto everyone and everything, making metal workers worry for rust of their wares. First, Astrea had felt her wrath. Not only in justification for finding her faction, but also merely letting off steam. It felt good to get out of the human form she had, as it was extremely confining and she held a great contempt for using it in any regard. Magnolia was to be the next. She had grown extremely bored waiting and circling the skies above. As red and violet skinned dragon known as Flamarea descended from high above the clouds, her wings forced the white away. She parted the moisture-rich air that she had to first dive through, and the sky behind her shone as a beacon of sunlight across her descent. The destruction she was about to unleash needed to be total. Not merely for her mission, but for her anger as well. She had planned it out ahead of time, flying around the city and observing how the guards and the defenses were laid out. To make sure her job would be complete and a finality. She would work her way from the farmland outside the city, and push forward in towards the walls themselves before torching the rest of the city in her drowning and unending heat. "This spot seems a perfect place to begin!" With a quick flap of her enormous wings, she slowed her descent right before impact, creating a massive gust of hot wind before landing squarely in the fields, next to a nearby farmhouse. She took little time in waiting, opting to begin and immediately started turning lush and fertile fields into a shockingly quick spreading blaze that could almost be considered an inferno in its own right. She chuckled to herself as the fire roared and the embers soared. Massive pillars of smoke began rising up into the sky as the wheat and grass burned down to bare carbon, leaving nothing to even insects to return to. She did not expect to be uncontested, and she was more than eager waiting for the fight to begin. A slight bit of sizzling could be heard from the farmhouse, or what was left of it, as the fire from her breath over took it. She started walking in stride toward the cities walls, leaving ash and charcoal in her wake. "I wonder who shall be the fifth? Or sixth? Or hundreth..." Statistics:

Rinni could smell the smoke and burning wheat as she rushed toward the place where rumors of a dragon spread like a wildfire. She wasn't expecting it to be quite so literal as she gasped at the sight of flames shooting into the air. She sniffed the air briefly, then looked toward the sky as she spotted the source of the destruction that had emerged before her very eyes. Her amber eyes glared toward the creature, red and violet, she was quite a sight to behold. Rinni had never met a dragon before, so this was to be her first encounter with such a beast. She was distracted momentarily by the dragon's beauty, quickly shaking off the feeling of admiration as she had to remind herself that this was the enemy.

The teen activated her Pocket Dimension Ring and fully geared up with all the equipment she has at her disposal. Her Ranger Headband wrapped around her head holding back her hair from her face. Her Ranger Cloak wrapped about her body, the hood over her head covering her amber eyes from view. Her quiver, Pyonim's Chase, resting at her back ready to aid her once more. Her Arcing Bow appearing in her hands, gripped tightly by her shaky hands as she realized she was about to face the largest battle she had in a while. Was she scared?

Definitely.

Was that fear going to hinder her?

No.

Swallowing down her nervousness, Rinni stepped into view of her target. She had hoped others would come soon as she had no intentions of fighting this thing alone. She raised her bow, shooting an arrow into the sky; not as an attack, but as a way to draw Flamarea's attention from the burning village to herself. "Hey! Why don't you fight someone who can actually defend themself?! Or are you afraid of a real challenge?" She dared the beast as she readied her bow, drawing back the string and aiming an arrow toward the dragon.

Magnolia was the easiest place to stop on Ziann's way on a journey to visit some contacts in Hosenka. While Magnolia was known for having a Lawful Guild presence in the Guild of Fairy Tail, Ziann was sure that his reputation hadn't grown enough to cause too much issue with him just visiting for a short period of time. How would he have known that today of all days was not the day to visit Magnolia. As he entered the outskirts of the city, he could smell burning. He hated burning. It reminded him of the Dragon that he had come across in Baska that he was still feeling the shock from. No pun intended, despite it having been a Lightning Dragon.

He walked to the top of the hill and looked over to see another rampaging dragon, this one breathing fire across the fields at a small farmhouse for no apparent reason. While usually one to look away at less than legal actions or perform them himself, Ziann was thinking only of himself right now. How much fame and power could be gained by practicing his magic on another Dragon? Sure, the last one had been taken down by another powerful Mage with a huge spell potential, but Ziann had helped. He had cut one of its wings off at the joint and prevented it from flying away.

This Dragon looked much more dangerous though. Much more powerful. It wasn't going to be as easy as dodging a few lightning bolts and getting a few good hits in. This was going to take all of his skill, all of his magic, and teamwork. But where was he going to find a team? Suddenly, a figure started to come into view with a bow drawn. She said something that made Ziann chuckle to himself. Brave, he thought. But potentially lethal. Stepping off the hill himself, he placed his ring finger to his palm and began to prepare to cast Wind-make Magic to support this person heading up against the Fire Dragon.

Azure made his way to the city of the Fairies as yet reports another dragon had popped up in this location and as his recent history has shown he had become something of a Dragonslayer himself in some aspects. Killing this dragon would be a snap if he had some capable subordinates that are, which made him slightly upset as he needed to rely on not just his summons but whoever would be fighting along with him as the Hero's always come out of the woodworks to save the people. Flames that covered the portions of the city were really hot and left nearly nothing left once it had turned to ash.

With already two people on the scene all he needed to do now was watch them fight the dragon for a bit and see I he could spot any weak points in this dragon but that would be assuming that the two fools that are standing up to the thing don't get killed before he could finish his analyze that is. Something seemed to be off with this dragon though its personality was vastly different than the other two that he fought in the past, this was just from looking at the amount of destruction that has been done to this place. From what he could see of the other two one of them he knew as the red cloak gave them way but what could which meant he really would have to step in at some point once the dragon got serious Let's hope that they can handle this for a few moments he thought to himself as he moved in closer but just enough to hear what they would shout once the battle started.

Her brother always told her one day her sassy tongue would get her in hot water. She just never expected the hot minus the water. Well, as they always say. You play with fire and you're gonna get burned, right? The scent of two other humans reached her nose through the smoke and flames. Were they here to help her? She hoped so. Because she had never faced a dragon, and her words seemed to have insulted the massive beast before her: or perhaps the correct word is amused as the dragon chuckled while approaching the shaking teen.

Rinni watched, her bow aimed defensively toward the dragon ready to fire. However, flames engulfed the beast and when they dissipated in the dragon's place was the most beautiful woman Rinni had ever laid eyes on. She had to remind herself that this was no woman, but a dragon in disguise. Her skin and clothing still resembled that of the massive creature from moments earlier. At least with her on the ground, it may be easier to fight her.

Just then, Flamarea performed a motion with her hands. Was she casting a spell? As the creature accepted Rinni's challenge, the teen glanced down and noticed a large magic circle had formed directly beneath her! "Shit!" She quickly lunged to the right at 15 m/s to avoid the flaming pillar that shot upward moments after. This dragon meant business. Rinni would have to play this smart and not over-exert her mana if she hoped to come out of this in one piece.

"Is that all you got? My turn!" Rinni drew back her bowstring and shot an arrow directly toward Flamarea. The arrow would proceed to chase its target until making contact, and as much destruction as Flamarea had caused there wasn't much left to hide behind. She smirked confidently as she awaited the creature's next move.

Ziann felt a wave of heat and death spew from the ground as the Dragon cast a massive spell underneath the one with the bow. She moved incredibly quickly with a lunge, much faster than he could have hoped to move. He felt woefully unprepared for this very suddenly. He hesitated. What had once been a large dragon looking Dragon was now clad in the shape of a woman. Could he hope to fight such a powerful figure? The ranger let fly an arrow in response to the pillar of flames that looked like it was homing in on the woman-Dragon. That was handy.

Shaking the fear from his mind, Ziann prepared to finish his spell. He knew that his range compared to the ranger wasn't nearly as effective, and this Dragon had a lot of range capability too it appeared, so he needed to get closer. It would help if he could block the attacks from the beast-woman they were up against, but he doubted that even his Targe spell could take an attack like that last one. Getting within 20 meters of the Dragon-lady, he cocked his arm back and threw it forward as solid wind pooled in his hand. "Wind Make: Gust!" This spell would do to start out with, even though it was only a mid-level spell, due to it having a better range than anything else in his repertoire. The 1 meter wide projectile could travel the full 20 meters but could only travel in a straight line. Something potentially easily dodged if the Dragon wasn't preoccupied with dodging the much more dangerous arrow.

As he watched on from his seat the Dragon was sure to make short work of the girl but it seemed as though this Dragon was much like the first one that he had fought, a fire breathing dragon that was self-absorbed Was this a trait of fire Dragons or just something that all of them had in common? he asked himself as he wiped the sweat from his brow due to the massive amount of heat surrounding them. Azure watched on as he saw the Dragon take on a human form which was something that he didn't know they could do through all his research into them.

This new information would be important for later use assuming that he managed to get out of this alive again so he quickly wrote down his notes. The girl had some smarts to her as she managed to dodge the first attack but this would just mean that he needed to speed up his scan of the target even though from what he could tell while in the human form it needed to cast just like any other human instead of just letting out massive attacks left and right. Given that Dragons had some rather good noises he had a good idea that the dragon already knew where he was but wanted to take out the girl first.

Azure watched as Ziann attacked the dragon with his wind-based attack to which he faces palmed Wind and Fire great... he thought as he pulled out his book and made his way closer to the action. Something told him that this would be one of those times when he would need to rely on Elem for most of the battle with his family providing support to the best of their abilities. His more childlike side wanted to distract the dragon to buy the others sometime but it had a rather high chance of failing so he did what any other smart person would do and hit the dragon where it hurt. The scholar moved into his 20m range to launch his attack on the dragon. With his hand raised towards the dragon, a blue magic circle appeared forming two-spheres of mana that converted into water and launched them at the dragon aiming for it, her's head and chest. With three attacks being sent at the dragon all at once it would be hard for her to avoid all of them at once. If the attacks landed the dragon would take 2x A-rank water damage.

The Ranger stared in stunned silence as Flamarea lunged forward and miraculously dodged every attack with her incredible speed. She was equal to Rinni in speed and distance on her lunge, which caused the girl's heart rate to increase upon the reality of the danger she was in facing this woman-dragon-creature. Still, there was one thing in her favor. The arrow would pursue Flamerea until it hit its mark. She couldn't dodge the arrow forever. And the more shots she sent after the dragon, the harder it'd be to avoid them all.

Knowing this, Rinni had a new problem to deal with. Flamarea had maneuvered herself to a new position; behind the archer! The girl turned to her left only to notice the dragon lady was preparing another spell. She threw two fireballs in Rinni's direction. Rinni took off running as she attempted to evade the fireballs. Once she reached the 10 meters mark, she quickly turned around and jumped in the air to avoid the projectiles as she pulled back her bowstring and sent a second arrow soring toward the dragon. This was becoming a game of tag. The only question was, who'd be hit first?

Rinni couldn't help notice Flamarea was ignoring the two young men and focusing all her attacks on her. She didn't want to transform unless she had to, so instead she turned her amber eyes toward the wind mage and then toward the water mage. "I can't keep this up forever! Do something!" She commanded as she continued running to distance herself from the dragon and her attacks.

Ziann was running towards the Ranger and the Dragon-lady, against his better judgement. Why was he doing this? He had no idea. Flamarea had shown herself capable of massive spells that could probably knock him out in a single blow or two. But he was moving towards her for some reason. Did he feel compelled to help Rinni out of pity? Attraction? Personal gain? Not really any of those three. He didn't pity her, especially because she was so much faster and more powerful appearing than he was. He wasn't attracted to her, as he wasn't really attracted to anyone or anything. And he probably wouldn't be getting anything out of this fight.

Noticing Azure and his magical element changing book, he was pleased to see a familiar face on his side. The other mage had been essential in killing the last Dragon Ziann had fought. Flamarea, however, was faster than their spells and was capable of dodging the single direction attacks. Ziann had a spell in his arsenal for that. Trying to get closer even though he was much slower than the Dragon-lady, he formed a small dart of Wind and threw it while keeping it tethered to his hand by an extending string of solid Wind. "Wind Make: Whip!" He could adjust the trajectory of this one to try and catch Flamarea anywhere he could hit her if she slipped up and didn't avoid Rinni's arrows well enough. As a sustained spell, though, he didn't have enough Mana to keep it up for long...

Azure watched the Dragon somehow avoid the three attacks somehow took a good chunk out of his pride as he really thought that at least one of his attacks would hit given how much mana he put into them. The situation had now become more complicated given the new data presented to him and everyone else in the fight but now more than ever he needed to think of plans that had plans to support them to ensure their win in this battle.

The girl commanded him and Ziann to help her part of him wanted to snap back at her but now was not the time nor place for such things to take place but it would have to happen later if they managed to survive this battle that is. Even if he did aid her it didn't seem as though the Dragon would pay him such attention I only have but so much magic power left after that last move so I have to make every move count. he thought to himself as he saw Mr. Red Cloak charging in to help the little lady. "Guess that means I have to help even more now," he muttered staying just outside of her casting range with Elm still in hand just in case he needed to do another big mana drain. The scholar quickly ran through all his summons that he was currently able to use and none seemed right for this kind of battle but he wasn't going to let some Shapeshifting Geko beat him.

With a simple flick of his wrist, the scholar created his summoning circle allowing his Golem Type Ignis to come fourth "Okay Ma'am I need you to...okay?" he gestured with his hands as to what he wanted her to do and she replied with a simple not. The Golem stood at the ready to attack the Dragon once it saw an opening of any kind.

Rinni hadn't much combat experience. She'd been in a few fights here and there, two that almost killed her. You'd think by now she'd learned. How could she make such a novice error? She had completely forgotten about her own Arrow Shot, only being reminded as it hit her rather than her original target, the impact resulting in her armor being destroyed and vanishing back into her POcket Dimension Ring. While she was stunned by her total miscalculation of the situation, Flamarea wasted no time in taking advantage of the situation. As the two fireballs closed in on the girl, she had no time to react as she let out an anguished scream crumbling from the unexpected impact.

Singed and suffering some burns, she knew she'd have to fight through the pain if they were going to come out of this alive. The dragon was no longer focusing on her. She appeared to be interested in the aquamancer now. This was both good and bad. It gave Rinni a chance to plan her next move, but also meant that boy was in danger. He didn't appear to be that strong. As she sat on her hands and knees groaning and gritting her teeth, her amber eyes moved between Ziann and Azure. She couldn't just sit here. Nor could she survive being used as bait while they fired shots that the dragon woman so easily dodged.

They needed a bigger target. If she could provoke her enough, maybe the woman would transform into her true nature. A full-on dragon would be a deadly opponent. But the size would make it an easier target. It was time to get revenge anyway. That trickery and very clever last attack had pissed off the young werewolf causing her to release a feral growl from deep within her throat. Her claws dug into the dirt as she felt the change begin. Her remaining equipment returned to her pocket dimension ring Her clothing, already covered in scorch marks, torn as her muscle mass increased. Wolf's ears grew atop her head and a wolf tail sprouted from her tail bone. brown fur appeared upon her shoulders, arms, and legs. Her teeth became more canine-shaped as she let out a howl.

Rather Flamarea took notice of her transformation or not, Rinni would proceed to lunge toward the dragon-lady and swipe her claws at the creature as she moved past her. She would then turn around and transform back into her human form, resummoning her Arcing Bow and aiming another arrow at Flamarea. It was obvious shooting from a distance wouldn't work as it gave her too much time to dodge. So now she fired from a mere 5 meters distance, aiming an Arrow Shot at the dragon's chest. Rinni would then return the bow to her Pocket Dimension Ring and transform back into her werewolf form once more, running toward Flamarea and clawing at her, provoking her, as she ran toward Ziann trying to give the Wind Mage a closer target.

Azure sent his more or less shield back to its home and started to walk counterclockwise of the Gecko as she walked her way over to him Damn it I should've waited a bit longer before jumping in he thought to himself as now he was the next target of this Dragon which was fair given what Elm was able to give him access to. The situation had become incredibly more dangerous and difficult with a large portion of his Mana now gone he had to make sure he used what remained wisely so that meant no half-baked attacks. He noticed the girl that basically attacked herself get up and do several things none of which were really any help to him currently but it was good to see that she still had some fight left in her.

In a split second the scholar realized something from his past two battles with dragons, both of those dragons remained in their Dragon forms throughout the whole battle so why did this one change into this form? could it be that she was messing with them or was it just her way of fighting humans even though it was a rather stupid way to go about it but. "I'm sure you already know that I can't beat you. So I ask you this, why take on such a weak form do you think we need that much of a handy cap or are you repulsed by your true form that much?" he asked the dragon taking two steps towards the lizard.

From all his other Dragon encounters he noticed that all of them took pride in their power so all he had to do was goat this one into making a stupid mistake. Azure gripped Elm tightly as he ran through all the spells that he could use from Elm to at least distract it. Had the dragon tried to attack him he would leap back take cover behind some rubble. His child-like side wanted to run and leave the rest to the other two but his other side wanted to see this through.

As Flamarea didn't seem like the type to leave a job half done so after the stupid girl hit herself with her own arrow followed up with some of the flames one would think that she would be dead but it would seem that she was really a fighter. As he tried to play into her more prideful nature he couldn't help but think that this would make matters worse if he didn't plan out every single detail right now in this single moment. All the plans that he could think of ended with him meeting a less than happy fate regardless of what he does Maybe I can strike a deal or something? he thought to himself.

While still walking counterclockwise of her Azure watched as Lil Red was rather quickly wiped from the board only leaving him to attempt to battle this she-beast alone which was fine as now he had a clear plan of action even though he didn't really like it. While the dragon was still focused on lil Red he quickly resummoned his Golem with a flick of his wrist as the grey magic circle appeared in front of him, The Golem quickly pulled itself from the rift in reality and looked to the scholar for its orders. At this point, he would be within 10 meters of the dragon making step one of the plan complete all that really needed to be done at this point was make sure that he didn't mess up the second and third steps.

"I need you to attack her with everything you have okay," he told the Golem launched its self at the Women with a flurry of punches to her spin, and had she not been phased by those hits the Golem would grab onto her arms and attempt to hold her in place and turn her to face the scholar. Had the Ignis been able to hold the dragon in place Azure would raise up Elm and create two spheres or water and at A-rank level and fire the first one at her chest and the other her head. Should either of them land he would fall to one knee and taking deep breaths "I didn't think I would get past step one...hehe." his whole plan was riding on moving past the first part had he failed at this he would have simply given up the fight.

Within seconds of launching his plan, it quickly fell apart as Ignis did their best in attempting to attack the flame lizard even though all of it was in vain at this point. The flames that had been around him this whole time didn't seem as scary as the ones that would be notably be used on him. Azure looking on in shock as she began to fade from their world which showed that the gap in their power was much larger than he had originally thought, his body froze in fear as he watched the magic circles form around her, and given what happened to Lil Red he knew that this was not going to end well for him at all. I'm sorry Ignis this shouldn't have happened Azure told himself as everything turned white then black and then white again the impact of the spells that the dragon sent at him through him for a loop given he had never been hit with such strong magic before.

As the Dragon made her comments the scholar couldn't help but feel as though she was mocking him just slightly. Could this feeling had come from his more child-like side or his adult side given that this emotion that had just come out nowhere was new to him? "Hurry up and leave your voice is annoying," he said looking up at the dragon with his body screamed in pain from the smallest movement the child side of him was seething with rage I'll get you back for this! he thought as the dragon took her leave of the battlefield. Even though he was nearly an informant he never liked things losing anything and that goes for fights even though he rarely took part in them.
