Kong's arms continued to bear down on the lad with incredible force, and Blue was still doing his damnedest to stop from being crushed. Fortunately, it didn't look like he'd have to keep ol' Fourarms busy for much longer. The Dragon Slayer's animal-like hearing could hear Marcus start to run towards him even over all the rumbling and shifting of the ground around him. Moments later, his Guildmate leapt over his head (and Kong's arms) aaaaaand...
Got clocked in the head...
by a head!
CRAAACK! "Damnit!" cursed the boy as his footing was cratered even more. Slowly but surely the Vulcan was bending Blue forward with the weight of his arms, painfully contorting his body so that all the pressure was coming down on his back. He was holding on like a champ...but he wouldn't be able to keep this up for much longer. At 100%? This would be no problem. But his seemingly endless amount of energy was beginning to wear thin. From the sound of things Marcus was sent reeling back a ways. Honestly? The boy didn't know what the hell he was gonna do.
Good thing his partner had some sort of crazy superpower, huh? A strange feeling saturated the immediate area, focusing on Troll Kong more than anything else. And with Blue being directly in front of the Vulcan, he could definitely feel it. He didn't know what the hell
it was...but whatever it was, it was unsettling. For some reason it felt like he was shaking. This was weird...I mean...Kong didn't hit him THAT hard...did he? This was his first thought, but just then a good portion of the weight coming down on him ceased. By no means did it stop outright but it was certainly less straining now. Blue mustered his strength, grunting as he fought back against Kong's enormous arms.
"I don't know what the hell you did, Marc..." came the Dragon Slayer's voice from beneath the Vulcan's hands. He had managed to finesse his way back into the position he started the struggle in so he was no longer crunched into a ball. In one harsh movement, the younger Mage yelled,
"...but keep doin' it!" and pushed upwards with all of his might, roaring as he flung Troll Kong's arms up and off of him completely.
Now that he was free, he could see his towering foe clearly. The massive Vulcan looked terrified...and aside from the shaking, he wasn't moving at all. It was strange...but Blue didn't care to think about it too much. Honestly, he didn't care to think about anything too much! Definitely not now, when this oversized ape had been pounding on him and Marcus the whole time. So without hesitation the younger Mage balled up his right fist and glared up at Kong. Dense, jagged Dragon Slaying Ice covered the underside of his arm where his elbow was. Blue crouched, his eyes narrowing on Kong as he prepared for his attack.
"Take this!" was the last thing he shouted before taking to the air, kicking off of the ground extra hard so that the extra momentum would add to his strike. He ascended parallel to Kong alarmingly fast, and once he neared the top of his enemy?
"Ice Dragon's Freeze Elbow!" A loud
CRASH! followed Blue smashing his elbow into the bottom of Troll Kong's chin in an upwards motion. The impact was brutal. Teeth definitely met teeth as a result of it...and they met HARD. Kong was stunned even before Blue made his move, but now he had to be knocked senseless!
The brash young Mage landed back on the ground, watching as the towering Vulcan stumbled backwards a few steps. Blue's breathing was heavy, and he'd gained a slight slouch in his posture. Holding off that powerful of an attack for so long took a toll on the lad. Add in the scratches and bruises covering his form and his head wound that was
still bleeding down the left side of his face...and our Dragon Slayer here was looking pretty rough!
"...jeeze." quipped Blue, straightening himself up as he stared at their still-standing foe. The Vulcan teetering on falling over, but he just wouldn't. He was like a goddamned Weeble!
"Fourarms, you're one tough bastar-" but just before he could get his insult/compliment out, Kong rocked a little too far back and tipped.
"Wait...there he goes." It seemed like the entire forest shook when Kong fell. The ground beneath the massive Vulcan cracked and the shaking knocked Blue flat on his rear. A sigh of relief shot out of the younger Mage's mouth as he let himself fall backwards, spreading himself out on the forest floor.
"We did it." And they had! It took some effort, but the duo managed to put a stop to the pesky Vulcans. Taught 'em a lesson, too! Now they'd think twice before stealing anything else. Blue shut his eyes as a wide grin crossed his face. His first Job ever...a smashing success! And aside from the few scuffs he got from it, it was pretty damn fun!
"Hey, Marc." Blue called out to his partner, eyes still shut as he did his best to bask in their victory.
"We make a pretty good team, huh?" With their hard-hitting physical fighting styles and shared 'head-on' approach to doing things, they did make a damn good duo. Maybe this was the start of Fairy Tail's new ace Team? Or maybe there already was one...and it'd be getting a new member soon!
