The Drakes of Heaven and Earth.
Roland Raionzu:[Very quietly] I know the alliance is in a panic since they've lost 2/5ths of their core guilds...Problem is...Someone has to die today...Be it you...Me...Tempestas...Or my daughter...
CG:[Quietly] Then I'll fake your death...Make a fake corpse so realistic, no one could tell the difference...But...You'd have to leave your daughter...[Forging a blade of Earth Priest Stone*, plated with steel foil] Until the Balam Alliance is powerless...
RR:[Quietly] Very well...[Drawing his short sword]...Use my Freesian hides...[He takes off his orange Freesian Lion's coat, jacket and vest]...And make the alliance pay...
CG:[Taking off his coat. Quietly] I will...
[The two men glared each other. Blades at the ready. Then, within a flash, they struck. Roland was opened up by the puedo-blade but instead of killing him, the blade injected him with a concoction of chemicals that would make his death seem completely real down to the last detail.]
RR:["Dying"] It seems I've become the hunted...*Coughing*...[Grabbing Clay] Make them pay!...*Coughing*...Make them pay for killing Melissa...For taking my Millianna...And...Protect my Cecilia...My...Coco...
[The toxins took affect. He was as far as anyone else could tell...Dead.]
NinjaHound13: Yeah, yeah...He's Millianna's dad AND Coco's dad...In fairness, they look like they could be related. So why not? I think Goldmine and Wakaba might be related. Think about it!
ES: *Gasps* (He's...He's Millianna's father...?) [Tearing up]
[Clay closed the assassin's eyes in respect]
CG:[Lying] May you find your Melissa in the afterlife...
CH: Clay? [She points at his abdomen, opened up by Roland's blade. Clay's hot, lava-like blood dripped from the wound. He collapsed to the ground.]
ES: CLAY!
CH: CLAY! NO!
Stranger:[Rushing towards them] CLAYTON! [Pushing the ladies out of the way] CLAYTON! MY FRIEND! DON'T YOU DIE ON ME![He scrambles to pull out a large bottle of a brownish-grey liquid, opening it up and making Clayton drink it.]
[After drinking a third of the bottle, the bleeding stopped.]
CG:[Looking a the man] Rocco?!
Rocco Canary:[Shushing Clay] Don't you speak, my friend! Save your energy! I can't believe their was an assassin in Koigokkoro!...Rest...Rest...We'll talk in the morning, my friend...
ES: So...Your Rocco Canary...
RC: Yes! And you're Titania![To Chico] But who are you? Clayton's beloved?
CH: NO, I'M NOT!
CG: NO, SHE'S NOT!
CG:[In some pain] Ouch!...
CH: I'm accompanying him on your job request...
RC:[Nodding] Very good, very good!...[Shouting] SOMEONE GET ME A STRETCHER!...[Calming] You're going to be fine my friend...
[In Clayton's subconscious]
Gednus: Why did you spare him?
CG: Because...He had a daughter to go back to...And another to reunite with...
Gaedey: I knew our city was a city of love...Just didn't know it included this form of love...
CG: Yeah...You two mind helping to take the reins and help make that man a ghost?
Gednus: Very well...I will construct a false corpse...
Gaedey: And I'll wake him up and change his appearance...
G&G: You rest up...
CG: Fine...It may be little more than a paper cut to me...But I've got to sell it...
[Back in the outside world]
RC:[Wrapping up Clayton's wound. To the ladies] So!...You two have a place to stay?!
ES: No...No we dont...
RC: Very well, very well...Help me put him on stretcher! He's really heavy!
[The ladies aided in putting Clayton in the stretcher.]
Now! Let's go to hotel I co-own! Very nice, but very popular! See if we can squeeze you three into a couple of rooms!
CH: Ummm...Shouldn't we take him to a hospital?
RC: No no no! The colloid I gave him should help him in no time! All he needs is rest...
[They head into a large 5-Star hotel]
Receptionist: Hello Mr Canary! What can we do for you today?
RC: I need rooms for these three!
Receptionist:[Search on her database lacrima] Let's see...Seems we only have two bedrooms...Both one Fiore-King sized...[Pulling out two key fobs]
ES:: Alright...Chico! You and I can share a room and-
CH:[Refusing] Uh uh! I'll share it with him...
ES: What for?
CH: You had way too much sugar today...And we both know what happens when you have too much...I'm not gonna end up like Levy was that night...
ES:[Embarrassed] You've made your point...But let's get Clay into bed...
[After getting Clay into the bed, Erza left to go to her room, while Chico got comfortable and ready for bed.]
CH:[Looking at Clayton] (He beat him in a flash...Took his life like it was second nature...But...He didn't enjoy it...He...He knew it had to be done...)
Souls:[Morphed into Happy. Impersonating Happy] Oh , wow! You lo-o-ove him!
CH:[Annoyed] Get back in the crystal!
[All but one soul return.]
Well?! What are you still doing here?!
Soul:[Telepathically] He did not kill him...He saved him...Saved him from the Dark Ones...[He returned to the crystal]
CH:[Confused. Clutching the crystal in front of her face] What do mean "The Dark Ones"?! HELLO!? Get back out here and explain-
[A large, slitted-eye stared back at her]
[Frightened] AAAH!!![She chucks the necklace across the room. Noticing it didn't reappear on her] Hey...Why didn't it reappear on me-[Upon thinking aloud, the necklace flash back to around her neck.] Huh?!...Huh...Must only reappear when I want it to...But what was that eye?...I've gotta remember to ask him when he gets to...[She gets in bed, under their shared comforter] Woah, it's warm in here!...But...In a cozy way...*Yawns*...Goodnight Clay...I have some questions for you when you wake up...[She scoots in closer to him to be better embraced by the warmth.]
