Testing the Abilities of a God Slayer

Lance heard the mention of a spar and perked up a little from the table he was at. He got up and saw that Ikuto was the one who had asked for one. Lance walked over to Ikuto and pointed to himself with a smirk "I will be your opponent." Lance said as he took off his shirt and threw it to the side. People all over the guild were cheering as he backed up and got into fighting stance.

Lance looked over to Ikuto "I know your stronger than me but still whatever I want to spar. Whenever your ready man." Lance said coughing obviously still a little sick.

Lance got pushed back a few feet it hurt a lot, but it was fine he had been through more pain before. "Shadow..." Lance said as he sucked air into his mouth "Mist" he then said as he blew all the air out of him. A dark purpleish mist came out of his mouth and filled the whole room.

Lance silently snuck up behind Ikuto and tried to deliver a swift, hard kick to the side of his body. Lance then jumped back and waited for Ikuto to make his next move.

Shadow Mist:

Simon was pleasantly surprised by this turn of events, Ikuto one of the main perpetrators responsible for turning the rough and tumble Fairy Tail into a writhing mass of pacifist push overs was starting a fight? He struggled to not burst out laughing at the thought. Then when Lance faced off with Ikuto, Simon couldn't help but snicker a bit he actually thought Ikuto was ser- oh fuck. Seeing the God Slayer initiate an attack at Lance Simon knew 1 of 2 things were true; 1. this was a test or 2. Ikuto was serious. Either outcome warranted Simon's next course of action. Seeing Lance take the hit Simon realized that Lance didn't have a prayer, even with a D-Rank Spell Ikuto was simply too fast for even Simon to consider trying to dodge. He muttered under his breath "bakame"

The way Simon saw it he had one chance to do some damage, and that was with a combination of speed and stealth and even then the odds of success were mind bogglingly low. Being towards the back of the guild hall there was a large distance between Simon and the fight at hand, Lance could potentially be defeated in the time it would take for Simon to charge the distance straight forward considering the vast power gap and somehow Simon had to cover the distance without being seen or making a sound. So he took to the support beams across the roof of the guild with a super powered jump in a silent room the sound of the jump would have been obvious but the guild hall had risen to a violent din as Ikuto took the fight to Lance; so Simon had gone unheard, for now.

Simon dashed across the beams holding the roof up, he had done this many times to get around past the writhing masses of people in the guild and to avoid fights more than once. He crossed the gaps between them in rapid movements that were more like jumps then steps, Simon humored himself trying to imagine how difficult this would be for him if he had not possessed his high speed magic.  However the thought was severed by first the urgency of the situation and second by the fact that this would not have been difficult at all without his magic; it would have been impossible. The young mage cursed himself whenever his steps made any sound despite the fact that Ikuto would need the hearing of a god to hear them. He crossed the distance in almost no time at all, but in a fight between and D and an H-Rank mage, no time was a very long time. He didn't have to examine how the battle had developed since he started moving.

Having finally crossed the guild hall to the area of the fight, Simon made his move. Jumping from the beam he had stopped on he flew to the ceiling in a perfectly straight line above Ikuto, than he pushed off the wall with his legs mustering as much power as his body and magic would allow. At this point Simon noticed the haze that had filled the room, it gave Simon cause to worry that he had chosen the wrong target; but the power of Ikuto shone like a bon fire, and well Ikuto himself kind of shone like a bon fire so his concern was minimal. As he rocketed downwards, Simon pulled back his right leg then whipped it downward at Ikuto's head when he was only a foot above him. He could only hope he had gone as unnoticed as he thought he had. There was also the worrying factor that his attack would bounce harmlessly off Ikuto, but it was a bit too late to be worried about that.

Lance snickered and shook his head at Ikuto moving out of the guild he wasn't worried about Simon right now so he decided to go after Ikuto. He simply walked outside and noticed that he was a little out of breath. Lance shook it off and smirked "This is the first fight that I have been serious in a long time!" Lance said as he turned around and lunged off the guild walls and did backflips in the air landing behind Ikuto with the palm of his hand raised "Shadow ball!". Balls made out of some shadow form came out of his hand and heading toward Ikuto.

Lance snickered as he jumped backwards "I got to keep out of close range with Ikuto or else I'm done for." Lance thought to himself as he remembered who else was in this fight "I also got to look out for Simon..."

Shadow ball:

Simon was surprised by the success of his assault, but his victory was short lived. His saw Ikuto shrug off his strike and flee the guild to get away from the mist which was to be expected, but then Lance chased after Ikuto. "You've got to be kidding me." Simon face palmed, Lance was pulling bone headed move after bone headed move. Knowing it was too late to leave the fight alone, Simon left the guild via a side window. Once again he was blind to the developments of the conflict, but the conflict was blind to him which was how Simon prefered it. He could already tell this battle would just be sneak attack after sneak attack until Ikuto managed to get a hit on him and naturally that would be the end of that.

Only allowing himself a few seconds to recuperate Simon charged into Magnolia town doing his best to through the streets fast without causing a commotion. After barreling through people, hurtling small buildings and narrowly avoiding toppling a cabbage stall, Simon had rotated around the guild from the side he had exited to the front side while remaining hidden within the the city. Simon could feel the strain all the running was having on his body and magic power, he quickly realised drawing this fight out was not an option.

To his knowledge Lance had kept Ikuto's attention, and that neither of them knew of his whereabouts. At least he really hoped they didn't know, it would have really sucked to take a detour that long and lose the element of surprise anyway. There was a large area Simon would have to cross to get from the cover of the city to the Guild Hall, plenty of time for Ikuto to notice him, so Simon had to go at the run full tilt if he wanted a chance of getting a hit off. He closed the distance in only a second before jumping into the air towards Ikuto and clapping his hands together "POWER SPIKE!" he formed a ball of vibrant energy in his hands, he was only a few feet from Ikuto when he smashed the spell down at the godslayer. Despite being right in the heat of the battle Simon felt he could only watch and pray for a good outcome.

Simon hardly saw the spell before it hit him. As soon as he saw Ikuto dodge his spike, he knew it was over. It wasn't like he expected to win, but well with how well everything had been going to that point he thought just for a moment that maybe...... ah whatever it was a foolish idea to even consider that 2 D-Ranks could over come an H-Rank godslayer. Anyway, so Simon had just enough time to look to the side to see these blinding lights racing towards him. He couldn't have been in a worse spot, first he hardly had  time to realize he was being attacked (well actually he didn't even realize what was happening till he hit the ground) then there was the fact that we was still mid air and even if he was on the ground and perfectly aware of the danger he was  in he wouldn't have been able to dodge in time.

The first thing Simon felt was a thud, an impact that made his entire body jerk and knocked the wind out of him and sent him racing to the ground; but instantly afterwards he felt a violent wave of pain shoot through his body he tried to scream in pain but he didn't have the air to let out anything more then a shrill groan as he hit the cold hard ground and his vision rocked and blurred. He curled up on the ground clutching his side where the spell had made impact and all he could do was curse Lance's bone headedness and his own weakness as his vision slipped into black. Then his body just relaxed and slumped out on the ground.

Blacking out was a funny thing at the time the pain feels like you could never forget it but then when you wake up you can hardly recall it at all.

Leonard helped Ebony with the paperwork today because it was so many, more than normal. He was seated at the front of the Guild Master's table and he was holding, writing, and reading some papers. "These papers are getting more and more numerous and problematic. I mean some of these report damages that are so out of this world, even for a Fairy Tail mage." he said calmly, trying to kill the boredom in their work.

After a while, Leonard felt a strong magical force similar to Ebony's. He assumed she felt it too, it was Ikuto's magical force. Clearly he's having a fight downstairs, and his theory was proved when he heard noises outside. He quickly turned to Ebony and said "Iku's in a fight downstairs. We better stop them!" Afterwards, he got up from his chair, and ran towards where they were fighting, hopefully they weren't too late to stop any major damages.

Lance got dealt with some damage leaving him on the ground wincing in pain. When he heard Ikuto ask when another one of his attacks were coming "Fine you want my magic to be at its strongest?" Lance growled as he started to get up "Take control!" Lance yelled as a loud laugh could be heard coming out of Lance, when the laugh was done Lance was left with an evil smile on his face as he opened his eyes which were now blood red. "I have been waiting for a chance like this!" Lance yelled in a more deeper and demonic voice as he swiped his hand through the air. "Darkness!" Lance called out and as soon as he set it the sky started to become pitch black making the entrance to the guild almost pitch black.

Lance smirked and lunged toward Ikuto with blinding speed and attempted to hit him in the stomach with a hard punch. Lance then jumped back "This is starting to become fun! Light against Dark! Hahahahaha!" Lance laughed hysterically as people from the guild were watching them from the windows starting to become scared.

Lance got exited when Ikuto went crazy, This side of Lance loved it when people went crazy because of him. He noticed that Ikuto's magic was now more darker and smirked as he quickly ran and jumped out of the way of the beam that was shot at him when it hit something dust flew everywhere and the mixture of the dark and the dust made Lance's red eyes illuminate through it all. Lance looked down at his arm and noticed it was bleeding from when he hit the ground earlier. He smiled at the sight of the blood and laughed and evil, demonic, crazy laugh. "Shadow claws.." Lance mumbled to himself as his claws unsheathed out of his hand, it was now or never and rushed out of the dust with his crazy, evil smile "Don't worry I wont kill you! HAHAHAHA" Lance laughed as he tried to stab Ikuto in the stomach with his claws. If this attack hit it would surely end this fight but Lance wasn't certain.

Lance saw the people shaking inside the guild and saw that blood on this body and his opponents body and licked his lips "I love this sort of game this is fu......" Lance started to say as he felt tired all of a sudden collapsed to the ground, Lance had passed out due to the magic power he was using up.

When he awoke his eyes were back to normal and he was incredibly tired. he got up and rubbed his head "What happened? All I remember is me fighting you and everything whent black. I know I didn't have these injuries before....." Lance said as he limped back inside the guild to spectate the rest of the fight. When he got back inside people were staring at him with fear in their eyes and he looked at them back "What?". Lance walked over to a table by the window and sat down.
