(3rd Person)

The Prince couldn't help but grow a smirk at the figure, lowering his hand from seeing the red hair and bloody face panting while staring at him with her arms drooping slightly. He instantly ran over, throwing an arm around her and poking her cheek with his finger.

(Y/N): You had me worried there! I thought your explosion was going to rock the train into hell or something!

Athena: Shut... up...

He chuckled in response, carefully placing his teacher on his back due to her injury, he slowly walked over, smiling the whole way while Athena just grunted every now and then from her state.

(Y/N): You really are tough, huh? You took an injury that could've paralysed your forever and you were still able to attack like it was nothing... how many levels of your magic did you use?

Athena: All... but... one...

(Y/N): Dang, that's even more than you used against me! I'm hurt, you treated Elanor as a better opponent than the best guy around?

Athena: How... can you be so calm? After that?

(Y/N): You think I take anything seriously?

Athena: You took Elanor's arrival seriously, and I have no doubt you took Remy seriously too... even I would.

(Y/N): Eh, stuff it! Ain't no way anyone will make me...

Just as they arrived at the train cart, they heard another explosion, (Y/N) turned with a raised eyebrow, only to sigh while shaking his head as he saw Elanor pulling herself out of the ground, breaking the earth below her. (Y/N) huffed, gently setting Athena down and then pulling his bo staff out.

(Y/N): My turn now...

He began to slowly walk over... but stopped suddenly and with a surprised expression on his face as he saw Elanor's state: her armour had disappeared, most likely turned to dust thanks to Athena's attack earlier. But... that wasn't what made him stop in his tracks... the fact was... as Erza stated since she pulled Athena into the cart, looking up with wide eyes.

Erza: Put some clothes on!!!

Yep... under the armour, Elanor was butt naked, and (Y/N) chuckled in amusement at that, whistling while placing a hand on his hip and staring her up and down.

(Y/N): Gotta say, you got the curves and the physique, if we weren't enemies right now I so would've taken you on a date!

Elanor: Please cease your lecherous gaze on my body Prince... it is unsightly for a Royal to act so perverted.

(Y/N): Pfft... I haven't acted like a royal for the last five years, what makes you think I'm gonna start now!? Plus, I wasn't being a pervert, you're the one who doesn't wear clothes under her armour.

Elanor: And yet, you still continue to set your sights on me...

(Y/N): Hey! If there's an opportunity to see a lady as beautiful as you in her natural form, I'm not exactly going to look away muttering how you should cover yourself up! There's only so much you get to see in your life and I'm not wasting any opportunities!

Athena: Stop trying to excuse your pervertedness!

(Y/N): Everyone's a pervert! Just a matter of how open you are to it!

Hearing enough, Elanor frowns, charging while swinging her massive sword downward, only to be surprised at (Y/N)'s body becoming intangible since he kept a smirk on his face even with a sword in his gut.

(Y/N): How foolish!

Elanor was whacked under her chin, however, it didn't affect her which made (Y/N) step backwards, chuckling once again while spinning his bo staff around.

(Y/N): Damn that magic of yours is annoying!

Elanor: And yours is insufferable, how am I meant to defeat an enemy who can make every attack go through him as if it is nothing?

(Y/N): You just have to hit me harder! Come on! Those attacks were like a toddler's!

Elanor: Very well... then I shall...

Just as (Y/N) was prepared to defend, he was surprised when Elanor quickly turned her attention to the train cart, she dashed towards it, sword behind as Erza went wide-eyed, witnessing the woman running at them.

Elanor: I shall force you to disable your magic!

(Y/N) went wide-eyed, quickly switching Gwen to Cyf which allowed him to blast off towards the cart in hopes of getting there fast enough, he watched as Elanor raised her sword, ready to kill his friends... luckily, Cyf's speed is exactly what he needed since (Y/N) appeared in front of Elanor, raising his bo staff which blocked the sword, unlike Athena's there wasn't a single scratch from the attack.

Elanor: You're quicker than I expected...

Elanor was pushed away, (Y/N) taking up another combat stance with a disapproving frown on his face.

(Y/N): Now that, was not cool, they're already injured enough as it is, I'm the only one who can take you right now. Focus on me!

Elanor: It doesn't matter, as long as I'm victorious, I'll do anything necessary to ensure a victory. It doesn't matter whether the opponent is healthy, or on their deathbed, if they can still breath, they can still fight and I never allow a single opponent to escape, even if that means I must ensure their death by tearing each of their limbs off!

Athena: That's Elanor for you... a battle hungry psycho who'll do anything to get her hands on another win to her streak...

(Y/N): Seriously, you're so uncool Athena! Who cares if you lose or win! The only way you're gonna win is if you somehow make me lose my magic, and even then I'll still kick your ass so bad you'll wish you were never assigned the role of returning me to the kingdom!

Elanor: Those are rather bold words, Prince Fiore... however, can you back them up?

Erza: What is she talking about?

Elanor: I'll throw in this deal for our fight: if you disable your magic, then... I will also disable my magic, throw away my weapon, and our fight will simply be a close quarters fist fight.

Athena: (Y/N)... don't... I know you always think... you'll win, but... you and I both know... she's the best when it comes to fists!!!

(Y/N): Settle down! Even if she's the best, she's still not (Y/N) (L/N)! Anything anyone's best at, I crush them at it! Fighting? I'll beat them in half a minute! Eating? I'll stuff it all in my mouth with one handful! Leading? I'll send the best fighters with the best strategies! It's not just fighting that I'm good at, Athena... I'm the best of the best! Everything in this world that can possibly be done has me as its champion!

Everyone remained silent, disbelief in everyone's faces as they saw (Y/N)'s smirk... as well as his tone of voice showing it wasn't just cockiness that cause him to say that, but... he was truthful meaning he meant every single word.

Elanor: Then... you will have no problem defeating me in a fist fight, here and now?

(Y/N): Of course not!

And... just like that, Athena watched as her student threw his bo staff at her, making her catch it quickly before he cracked his neck, whispering into his shirt which was a sign that he was ordering Cyf, his current summoning partner to head back to the Soul Dimension.

(Y/N): So then... Elanor... ready to get your ass handed to ya?

Elanor: No... I will never be ready for that considering the outcome will be quite the opposite...

With that, Elanor stabbed her sword into the ground, making properly sure that it wouldn't be leaving the ground anytime soon as she nodded to herself, cracking her knuckles while (Y/N) just kept smirking, holding his fists up while dragging his foot to behind him.

Athena: He's dead... there's no way... he can take on Elanor... in a fist fight.

The two slowly walked to each other, Elanor with her arms by her side and staring at (Y/N) with a blank expression whereas (Y/N) kept his fists up, smirking all the while and hopping up and down to get his blood and body warm, ready for the fight.

(Y/N): All right, are we ready!? Three rounds and we'll go winner by K.O!

Elanor: This is not a boxing match, Prince, if you lose, you're coming home...

(Y/N): Oh cut the bullcrap! I already know dear old Dad's not the one who hired you guys! In fact, the one who hired you ordered for my death, right?

Elanor: No sense in hiding it anymore since you've come this far, yes, your father is not the one who ordered us to pursue you. It was someone else, their name we would prefer to refrain from saying out loud since they have the power to kill us the second we utter a single letter of their name. As for your next question: about how he managed it, let's just say... this person knows deep and dark secrets that are impossible to know normally... Prince Fiore, I must apologise in advance, but this is where your grave shall be.

While Elanor distracted herself, she was slightly surprised at (Y/N) suddenly leaping forward, jabbing his right fist straight into her face, causing her to stumble back in surprise, but she looked up back with her emotionless look while raising a fist as she watched (Y/N) approach again. She watched as (Y/N) went for an overhead punch, she quickly countered with a punch straight to the boy's gut, however, (Y/N) quickly managed to side-step the attack which was lucky as well considering the punch Elanor threw had caused a massive shockwave and a burst of powerful winds kick up instantly.

(Y/N): 'Phew... she packs a punch, in more than one ways too!'

Elanor glared at the boy, seeing his fist almost reach her face dangerously, she quickly tilted her head to the side, dodging the fist before raising her lift hand, punching the Prince straight in the chest and causing him to cough up a large amount of saliva with a bit of blood mixed in before slamming him into the ground causing a crater to form underneath them. Elanor blinked twice before pulling her fist back.

Elanor: Apologies, I was using my magic because I thought you didn't abide by our conditions, I broke the conditions... therefore I shall allow you to heal yourself with your magic just once, no more exceptions...

Erza: She's prideful... just like Zeke...

Athena: In a way, but, Zeke's got more honour since he wants to fight people at their best. Elanor is only doing this because she made a mistake, she thought her opponent wasn't taking her seriously so decided to use her magic. Seems like (Y/N) was actually listening...

Erza: What is her magic, Athena?

Athena: No one knows, there's no official name for it and she doesn't tell us the details. We've come up with several theories: super strength, muscle enhancer, there was even one theory about how her magic is just stockpiling power in her body until it reaches a point where she can shatter a mountain with just a flick of her fingers.

Erza: So... it's possible all those theories could be correct?

Athena: Dunno, I've only just fought her now. Her strength isn't something to scoff at, but... from the way she fights, the stockpiling power seems the most likely since she doesn't seem to rush into battle like most people would.

While they discussed Elanor's possible ability, (Y/N) secretly had Chwe heal him up thanks to Elanor's sudden generosity. He sighed, jumping up while cracking his now healed chest to show the new and improved bones in him.

(Y/N): You're too kind, now I get to fully beat the snot out of ya!

Elanor: You were lying on the ground in pain a few seconds ago...

(Y/N): Just needed some rest, now I'm fully ready to go! Fist fight with no magic! I can easily do that!

Elanor sighed, looking towards the Prince who had decided to once again gaze at her natural body, she grew annoyed once more that (Y/N) was openly gawking her, he didn't have a perverted expression, more of an artist silently judging a piece of work.

Elanor: This behaviour is not tolerable Prince Fiore... please stop gazing at my body as if it is a piece of meat.

(Y/N): Seriously? That's what you think about your body? Tut, tut... shame on you for being so rude to your own body!

Elanor: Humour can only last for so long Prince Fiore, it doesn't help in your chances of victory either, zero multiplied by zero is still nothing.

(Y/N): Are you really that sure I'll lose? Come on! It's me! Of course I'm gonna win this fight!

Without another word, the two raised their fists, now confirmed that both of them have each deactivated their ability, Elanor scoffed, jumping forward to throw a punch, (Y/N) swerved it, closely dodging it before swerving another punch. Then he jumped back from a third one, before planting his right foot and then bringing his own fist forward, Elanor copied his actions from earlier: twisting her body to dodge the blows, though she gasped when she suddenly felt (Y/N)'s knee enter her gut.

(Y/N): Heh, it's like I thought: you're strong without your magic, but nowhere near the level of strength you obtain from having it active! In other words: you can't beat me without your magic!

Elanor: I could say the same to you, your magic helps you become invincible during a fight, and the fact we have not seen a weakness in it yet makes it even more difficult to defeat you with your magic.

(Y/N): Give me more credit than that, Elanor! I can still kick people's asses even without my magic! Just watch! I'll make sure you realise that I'm not just awesome for my magic!

She was surprised again when he stepped back, only to deliver a nasty uppercut, making Elanor's head snap backwards and causing her to cough out some blood from biting her tongue. Then, (Y/N) jumped up, delivering a spinning back kick that made Elanor skid across the ground. She looked up, catching (Y/N)'s leg before throwing him away, (Y/N) merely skidded across the ground, easily landing on his feet.

(Y/N) ran straight for the leader of the Elite Four, ducking under her swing and going for another gut punch, only to see Elanor's leg rise, smacking him in the face and causing an audible crack to be heard by everyone. He fell on his back, rolling to the side and avoiding a stomp from Elanor before he planted one hand on the ground, using his right leg to trip the blonde up and then slam his elbow straight into her ribs. Elanor coughed up a large amount of saliva as well as some blood mixed in, before grabbing (Y/N)'s arm and throwing him over her, slamming him directly into the ground.

Elanor refused to let (Y/N)'s arm go as she picked him up again, slamming him into the ground once more before dragging his face through the mud, (Y/N) quickly stopped that by using the momentum he was building to slam a leg into the back of Elanor's elbow, effectively causing Elanor to flinch and shout in pain while releasing him. He didn't waste any time: jumping forward to butt heads with Elanor before delivering a straight right and causing Elanor to land on her back.

Just like before: Elanor rolled away from an attack this time however in the form of (Y/N)'s fist planting itself into the ground, missing the target while Elanor reared her fist back, slamming it into (Y/N)'s cheekbone and making the Prince go flying, his body kicking up dirt while Elanor quickly caught up, grabbing the boy by his throat and then slamming him into the ground once more.

Elanor: Your resistance is futile, your death is inevitable and your efforts are wasted. Why not just accept your fate and I'll make sure your death is painless?

Her answer was (Y/N) biting her hand, she flinched at that, but never expected that to be a distraction as (Y/N) kicked her face with his right foot, breaking her nose in the process and causing her to back away while wiping away the heavily bleeding nose. She looked up, only to eat a fist which entered her left cheek, then her right, finally her chin which made her body leave the ground slightly. Then... with a great impact to the back of her head from (Y/N) driving it down using a double axe handle, Elanor's face met the ground.

(Y/N): Hehe... why should I give up? I'm winning this fight after all! I'd be crazy to give up now!

However, it seems Elanor wasn't done either as she quickly popped to her feet, slamming an elbow into (Y/N)'s chest and then driving her knee into it, this was quickly followed up by Elanor grabbing his arm, throwing (Y/N) to the ground and attempting to twist it, (Y/N) quickly managed to use his free arm to deck the woman in the face, quickly saving his arm from being broken before the two stood across from each other, glaring one another down.

They charged at each other, fists colliding before Elanor slammed a fist into (Y/N)'s cheek, (Y/N) responded with a blow to her eye, causing it to swell almost instantly as he then felt Elanor's knee in his gut, only to raise his head up quickly, smacking Elanor's chin with his forehead and making her back up, Elanor then had two fists smash into both sides of her head making her disorientated but somehow managing to deliver a nasty kick to (Y/N)'s side, then grabbing his head and butting heads with him once more, this time forcing the boy to the ground before this time she managed to stomp on his chest making him cough up more saliva and blood.

Elanor: Surrender!

But, the boy was still defiant as he grabbed her leg, throwing it upwards and forcing Elanor to fall to the floor, just as she went to get up, Elanor was surprised by a pair of knees entering her rib-cage and effectively breaking it, yet... as shown with Athena: an injury like that never keeps a warrior down so with great effort, Elanor grabbed (Y/N)'s sides, throwing him up and jumping after him before grabbing his face, pushing it towards the ground as she allowed gravity to help her attack.

Before they landed, Elanor was surprised by suddenly feeling heavier, her body slamming into the ground as if something was pulling her, forcing her to eat dirt. (Y/N) was confused, his back slamming into the ground, though not as forceful as it would've been should Elanor still have him in her grasp. He turned, only to see a familiar redhead panting while glaring right at Elanor.

Athena: Thought... you might need... some help...

(Y/N): Aww, come on! Why can't I just show off how good I am!

After saying that, (Y/N) quickly covered his mouth, coughing up an unhealthy amount of blood, much to Athena's concern and anger. He chuckled nervously while the two heard a groan, turning, they saw Elanor rising out of the ground.

Athena: She always was strong enough to withstand it... so... what say we do some, teacher and student bonding?

He looked over to see a smirk on Athena's face while blood ran down her head, her hand outstretched to him, (Y/N) simply huffed in amusement, grabbing his mentor's hand eagerly and allowing himself to be pulled up.

(Y/N): I guess I can share the glory of a victory, just this once...

Athena: Oh shut it... now... ready?

(Y/N) nodded, the two of them turning towards Elanor fully before they rotated their shoulders, cracking any joints that were sore before clenching their fists, feeling as though they were about to pass out.

Athena: Then, let's kick her ass!

(Y/N): Yes Ma'am!!

And so, the two ran towards Elanor, the blonde-haired woman scoffing at seeing another person running at her.

Elanor: You really are persistent aren't you, Lady Athena? Very well, I have no problem taking you both down!

Just as she raised her hand, Elanor hissed when she felt something cut her hand, looking down she saw a mere shallow cut and behind her was a card, she raised an eyebrow in confusion, but then looked to see Cana standing with her hand in a position to reveal she was the one to throw the card.

Elanor growled, refocusing back on the two, only to see they were now in her face: Athena delivering a punch to her face while (Y/N) went for a kick to the gut, they switched quickly with Athena punching Elanor's gut and (Y/N) delivering a nasty side kick to the left side of Elanor's head, she stumbled, but got her balance quickly and turned back to attack.

Only to jump back as a sword nearly sliced her in half, she looked in the sky to see Erza wearing her Heaven's Wheel armour and glaring right at her, the distraction was enough for Athena and (Y/N) to land more blows: (Y/N) going for quick consecutive strikes to her face while Athena focused on her midsection once more before kicking her in the back, sending her flying once again.

Elanor: These distractions won't be enough to save you!

Elanor went to charge forward, only to kick Taurus out of her way, she saw with rage filled eyes that Lucy was staring her defiantly while holding Taurus' key in her right hand, again, another distraction paying off as this time (Y/N) kicked her neck while Athena grabbed her face, dragging it through the ground and causing even more blisters and wounds to appear before the two kicked her in the gut and sending Elanor flying.

Once Elanor got to her feet, she was surprised by a fire covered fist slamming into her cheek.

Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!!

Though the attack hit, Elanor only grew more annoyed as she punched Natsu back, a loud crack heard by everyone while Natsu stumbled back, holding his cheek before Elanor planted a kick on the back on his head, grinding her foot into his head while Natsu hissed on the ground. Elanor went wide-eyed, looking up to see (Y/N) and Athena heading right for her, both of them with their fists reared back.

Before she could react, their speed increased suddenly: both of them slamming a fist into Elanor's already broken ribs and causing her to cough up more blood, Elanor shakily stayed on her feet, only to look up and see the two of them with their fists reared back again.

(Y/N): Sayonara!

Athena: Until the next fight!

And with that, the two brought all their strength forward: throwing their backs into their fists as Elanor's eyes went blank, instantly losing consciousness from the amount of pain she felt from their two attacks before a shockwave formed, pushing back anyone who wasn't strong enough to withstand it while Elanor went flying even further than before, disappearing over the horizon.

The two panted heavily at their attack, Athena planting her feet so she didn't fell while (Y/N) chuckled, blood dripping out of his mouth while he looked towards Athena.

(Y/N): Guess our... strength blew her away, huh?

Athena didn't respond, instead she sighed, slowly crossing her arms while flinching at her back injury acting up.

Athena: Wasn't just us... we also had them to thank.

(Y/N) knew what her words meant, he turned, opening his mouth to say his thanks... but then he felt someone hit the back of his neck, striking a nerve that instantly made him fall unconscious while said person caught him with one arm.

The other fairy tail members were confused at what they saw: Athena just struck (Y/N) from behind, her face clouded by darkness.

Natsu: Hey! What the hell was that for, Athena!?

The redhead responded by simply tossing (Y/N) over her shoulder, and starting to walk off away from the group.

Erza: Athena! What are you doing!?

She went to intervene, but her body was suddenly forced to the ground while Athena glared at her and using her first level power. Lucy went to use her keys, but she found her hand stuck to the floor as well, Cana hissed, her body still sore and unable to move properly while Natsu tried to push himself up... only to earn the same treatment as Erza and Lucy.

Athena: Do not attempt to follow us... otherwise I'll kill you on the spot.

Each member glared at her as Athena walked off further, disappearing in the horizon as she gazed at (Y/N)'s unconscious form.

Athena: Apologies, (Y/N)... but... your father entrusted me with getting you back home... and I see now is the best time considering your injuries and the Elite Four have been confirmed to be traitors...

With that, Athena walked off in the night, completing her mission of capturing and returning (Y/N) to the Kingdom of Fiore...

To be continued...... In volume 3...

(A/N): It's done... I finished it. Oh boy... now... let's see what's next on the list! *Pulls up list that looks like it's about to fall apart* Uh-huh... a Valentine's special for Fairy Tail for the 1K followers special, Volume 3 of DxD... oh!
