 ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟ KAI TULVYR ϟ ϟ LIGHTNING DRAGON SLAYER ϟ ϟ SON OF ELECTRA ϟ ϟ FAIRY TAIL ϟ ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇Kai was starting to feel the fatigue, as he was almost drained of all of his energy. It led to him panting and it also seemed to take a toll on his focus, as he failed to dodge the first swing coming at him from the guard. A diagonal cut on the left side of Kai's chest was what remained from his lack of concentration. The pain from the initial attack woke him up, as Kai managed to dodge the other swing. It did graze his cheek, though. Kai took a few steps back to get some space to think. Kai placed his hand on the chest wound. It stung a bit. Fortunately, it wasn't deep enough for blood to gush out, leaving him unconcious in a matter of minutes. "As long as I don't touch the wound, it shouldn't bother me in the middle of this fight. I'm slowly losing energy though. If only I had some ele-" Kai's inner monologue was abruptly interrupted by the sight of something at the corner of his eye: a taser! Hopefully, it wasn't one of the used ones. Either way, Kai decided that it was time to replenish his energy. Thus, he quickly grabbed the taser - for fear of losing his regained concentration on the wizard guard - and proceeded to suck on it like a straw. ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟOOC: ϟ

The iron-make wizard had completely forgotten about the tasers lying around on the floor. What a bunch of idiots those guards were, bringing those contraptions to a fight with a lightning dragon slayer! It made things much more difficult as it meant Kai would be back to full power plus an extra boost due to the carelessness of those men. However, the blade seemed to be the best thing to use against him right now as the slayer seemed to be lagging slightly. He could only hope that the electrical energy drink he'd effectively just had wouldn't give him another speed burst. "I swear to god you'll rot in that cell," he growled, swinging towards Kai again in.

◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟ KAI TULVYR ϟ ϟ LIGHTNING DRAGON SLAYER ϟ ϟ SON OF ELECTRA ϟ ϟ FAIRY TAIL ϟ ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇Kai felt the surge of electricity across his body like blood flowing through his veins. Such an exhilarating feeling. It wouldn't be long now until he was back at full strength. All Kai needed was enough energy for 1 more taser. It just so happened that there were 4 in total. 1 more remained before he was back normal again. Unfortunately, the guard noticed that Kai was gunning for a replenish. Kai's concentration was heightened by his power returning. Unfortunately, he was a tad bit worn out from this long, tedious battle, so he wasn't in tip top shape anymore. The sword of the wizard guard grazed his cheek, as Kai barely managed to dodge the deadly slash. Kai smirked. "And I swear, on my honor as a Fairy Tail mage, that I'll get out of this shithole!" Kai inhaled deeply, his cheeks puffed up, as he released a blast of lightning. "Lightning Dragon's Roar!"◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟOOC: ϟ

The iron-make wizard smirked. Though he'd only managed to graze the boyish face of the lightning dragon slayer, it still meant that he wasn't back to his full speed. Kai wasn't in the clear yet and there was no way the man would fail his guild master and allow the brat to escape. He laughed uproariously at the dragon slayer's statement, "On your honour as a Fairy Tail mage? Don't be ridiculous. Honour gets you nowhere in life," he replied, "And being in Fairy Tail just means you're painted with the same brush as all the other members; destructive, annoying good guys who somehow get away with being spoiled brats and are treated like celebrities even if they tear down a city block. It's disgusting. Then there's Sabertooth. My god. They're harbouring psychopaths left, right and centre and yet you consider me a bad guy? Did you know their ace is an unconfirmed mass murderer with a split personality but he's still adored by the L.A. media? And then there's the weaklings you all harbour. Is that what they have? Honour and that's enough? Bullshit. My guild master is working for a greater purpose for those who are worthy, the future she's building is for the strong and there won't be any silly little celestial wizards who can't do anything without their pretty keys, no little blonde girls who play with electricity and the dragon slayers will be caged like the animals they are. And caged you will be!" he growled. He was so busy lecturing the lightning dragon that he hadn't noticed him taking him a huge breath of air and took the full force of the roar, sending him careering back down the hallway, scraping against the hard floor and smacking his back against the far wall. He was furious, "Iron-make: Lance!" he commanded, sending out a multitude sharp lances again, wanting to puncture the slayer. He had considered using chains but Kai wasn't nearly weak enough to be able to be held back yet.

◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟ KAI TULVYR ϟ ϟ LIGHTNING DRAGON SLAYER ϟ ϟ SON OF ELECTRA ϟ ϟ FAIRY TAIL ϟ ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇Upon firing his blast of lightning, Kai noticed the 4th and final taser a few feat awa from him. Considering that the guard was dealing with the attack, Kai took the opportunity to grab it real quick sucked out every single volt, finally returning to his full strength. He'd been in this facility for so long, day in and day out without knowing where he was or how he got there, only to be temporarily released for magic extractions. He'd almost completely forgotten his amgic limits. Now that the final taser was empty, the electricity coursing through his veins and every part of his body was exhilarating. Kai staggered abit, overwhelmed by all of the power coming back to him. grabbing control of himself again, Kai closed his eyes, turned his head upwards and took a teep breath. He felt freedom... Well, almost. He felt born anew, at the very least. "A world for the strong, huh? Well, that's an appealing goal, in a way. However, there are flaws in that goal of your so called master." Kai said this out loud for the guard to hear, still closing his eyes and facing upwards. He finally sighs deeply and looks back at where the guards was flung by the Roar. "You and your master are being too narrow-minded. Do you really think that you guys striving to become the strongest will actually become a reality? Let's say that you accomplish this goal of yours. you do realize that this world is vast, no? This world we live in is far to big for you to even realize, and along with this big world comes mages in all shapes and sizes. There's something my master once told me long ago... 'There will always be someone better than you.' Most people know this and live by it. That's why people don't worry about such things as becoming the strongest. Instead, we have something that's foreign to you lot. Honor.
Without honor, we are only selfish and self-centered. Without honor, we are no different than wild animals. Yes, we may be a guild of destructive people, but we care for our own, we cry together, laugh together, fight together and we die together." upon finishing that last sentence, Kai tanks the lances cast at him. His body gets pierced by 4 of them, 2 on his torso and the other 2 on his forearm and thigh. Kai could easily have dodged it, now that he's at full power, but he let the lances pierce him to prove a point. Kai began to walk towards the guard, taking out the lances one by one as he slowly came closer to his enemy. "We may be a guild of monsters, but we are ready to risk our lives for our friends. On my honor as a Fairy Tail Mage, I'll get out of this shithole.. And I'm gonna bring my master and the others with me. We're going home!" Kai's eyes started to glow, his body started to electrify, as he began to blitz towards the mage so fast that an afterimage of Kai still walking was all that could be seen with the naked eye. Upon getting face to face with the guard, he charged his fist and tried to punch him so hard he'd smash his head against the wall. "Lightning Dragon's Dragon Fist!" ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟOOC: ϟ

The iron-make wizard rolled his eyes and pretended to yawn at Kai's long-winded speech about someone in the world always being stronger than you. Whilst he was sure that was true for an A-class wizard like himself, it surely wasn't for his beloved master, "That's where you're wrong. There are no other wizards in existence that are stronger than Master Kimura. She makes sure of that by proving her strength and taking each person who wrongly believes they're better down one-by-one. Even now, I can hear on my radio the things she's continuously achieving. We have the ace of Sabertooth under our control as of a few hours ago. I'm sure you've heard of him; Blood Raine, the psycho who terrorises the streets of L.A. and no one cares because he only kills criminals? That vicious monster thought the world of himself and now he's most likely on the brink of a mental breakdown knowing there's now no one looking out for the guild since their master has already been killed. The only ones left are Hysteria and Andrea and both of them are occupied as well thanks to us," he said with a smirk. He decided to continue keeping the death of his own precious Master Clement from the dragon slayer. It would definitely be more fun if he found out for himself. The iron-make wizard was more and more tempted to allow the Fairy Tail scum to get away and make it down to the lower levels of the lab and find the pile of bodies which also included the S-class brat Renae. He wasn't sure whether he'd know of the existence of the Sabertooth S-class named Valor but that didn't matter. Any dead body was a nasty sight for a light wizard.
The dark wizard was so busy enjoying the idea of Kai finding his guild mates dead that he failed to leave himself enough time to avoid the dragon slayer's next attack and was hit with what felt like a super-charged lightning punch. He skidded across the ground, scraping the palms of his hands. "Those stupid guards," he growled. How could so-called professionals not think to ditch their teasers when on their way to fight a dragon slayer that utilised lightning?! "Iron-make: Shuriken!" he roared, flinging his arm forwards and sending out a mass of small sharp shurikens towards Kai.

◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟ KAI TULVYR ϟ ϟ LIGHTNING DRAGON SLAYER ϟ ϟ SON OF ELECTRA ϟ ϟ FAIRY TAIL ϟ ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇Kai had his pinkie inside of his nose, while the guard was having his spiel about sstuff that were utter nonsense to him. While the guard was going on and on about something, Kai was busy daydreaming about the outside world and that lead him to become a bit more excited about freedom. He was also thinking about the things he'd do once he's out with the guild and specifically with Rex. Rex? Kai had completely forgotten about Rex this whole time. Who can blame him? Being busy with a bunch of guards standing in his way tends to do that to a you. Just as he was starting to wonder how Rex was doing, he could hear guards gossiping about a talking animal making alot of noise in his little cage. These guards are far away from him, several rooms away from where he was situated at the moment, meaning that Kai was truly back in tip-top shape again. As far as his senses was concerned, anyways... However, he was suddenly disrupted by a sting of pain on his abdomen and right arm. Looking down, Kai realized that it was 3 small shurikens that was flung at him by the guard. Luckily for him, most of them had missed, despite Kai not paying attention to the attack. This made his brain racing. With this newfound information, Kai became busy trying to come up with strategies for the rest of this fight. As it turns out, for the elite guard to have missed such an obvious and unmoving target, led Kai to realize that this fight was wearing down on the guard's stamina. Kai could take the initiative, hopefully find a weakness and come out on top in the end. What Kai needed to take into consideration, as well, was the vfact that he himself was also wearing down. Probably not as much as his opponent, but it was still noticable. One thing he did hear from the guard during his dialogue, however, was the Sabertooth mage called Blood Raine. Kai had not met him personally before, or at least not to his knowledge, but he assumed it was Raine Valentine he was referring to. "You'll have to excuse me for not paying attention to what you were saying just now, as it was most likely just some boring villain talk. However, I think I heard you mention Raine from Sabertooth. He is a menace indeed. The guild is having a rough time keeping control of him. But I'm sure that the guild is handling it somehow. Our guild however, is full of monsters, monsters that would make you realize how ignorant and narrow-minded your lot are." Kai grinned menacingly, "And I'll have you know, that I'm one of them!" Kai charged up his his body, sparks flaring up his hair, as he vanished, only to appear on his right side with a flurry of lightning quick punches. 6 in total. ◇◈◆◈◇◈◆◈◇ ϟOOC: ϟ

The iron-make wizard grit his teeth in annoyance. How could some of his shurikens have missed when his target wasn't moving? Clearly the battle was taking more of a toll on him than he originally thought and now that he thought about it more, he realised that his breath was heavy and there was sweat beading on his forehead. This wasn't good. He'd been pushing himself and not taking into account how much physical and magic energy he was taking up. The other guards were so useless, sat on the floor watching the two of them fight. They looked ready to run though he couldn't blame them. Non-magic users usually found themselves intimidated or fearful of strong wizards and there was no mistake in saying that Kai was strong. But no matter what, he couldn't fail his master. If this beast escaped he would be in for a world of pain and punishment.
He scoffed at the dragon slayers statement, "Monsters? Hardly. Maybe to some you're a scary fairy but you're no true monster. You protect the weak and fight for justice which is the opposite. The only reason some might think you a monster is because of how destructive you are and they fear that if someone like you has been around they might not have a house left," he laughed, mocking the reputation that the Fairy Tail members had. However, his moment taken to chuckle at the slayer cost him as he failed to see Kai almost disappear with speed. Reappearing beside him. The iron-make wizard felt pain as several punches landed him in the gut and chest. Stumbling backwards, he managed to just avoid the sixth blow. "You little b*****d!" he growled, clutching his stomach, "Iron-make: Mace!" he shouted, forming a spiked mace and swinging it at the lightning dragon slayer.

 | Guild- Dragon's Bane | Rank- A-rank | Magic- Dark Écriture |☯ ████████████████████████████████████████████████ ☯ The trek back to the laboratories took even less time than before. Now that he did not have the added strain of carrying a listless body, he could maneuver about much more freely. His intrigue at the task given to him supplemented his cheery mood. Seek out more information on the Water Dragon Slayer, eh? It was a challenge he met with gusto. He was not certain what exactly Kimura thought the scientists would be able to determine that he did not already know of the girl. After all, he had been the one to research each of their targets. No stone was left unturned in his quest for knowledge. Every bit of it was obtained, shuffled into an organized file, and then disseminated to those guildmates chosen to enact the plan. So, what is it that disturbs her now? Ciaran tapped his chin in contemplation. He moved through the hallways with ease. Few people wandered outside of their labs. Their keen minds too absorbed in their experiments and studies to venture away.
Eventually, Ciaran found the ones he needed for this job. He came to a stop just outside of the doorway. Making a half turn, the white-haired male faced towards it, studying those whom worked in the lab itself. Nobody seemed to notice his arrival. Their noses kept to the grindstone, so to speak. “Ahem.” He cleared his throat as he crossed the threshold into the laboratory. “Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but I have some information that I need help with.” Ciaran waited until he had their full attention before continuing. “Master Kimura has taken a special interest in one of the subjects. When she is brought from her cell, you need to run some additional tests on her. We need to find out everything we can about her. Where she hails from, what her genetics say of her, blood type, all of it. I will relay it back to the Master when all is said and done.” Clapping his hands together, an eerie grin crept across his features. “So, how much longer before we’re ready to bring our guest up?”

The hired scientists bustled around their lab. Some sat at computers, some with vials filled with liquids of different colours and there were machines whirring and beeping. A young woman by the name of Dr. Shaw noted the presence of a man who was not regular lab uniform. Looking up from her microscope she found herself facing Ciaran Frost. The man all the girls who were in the guild they worked for squealed over. Dr. Shaw wasn't as easily impressed by looks. She waited patiently for him to finish his little speech before making her way over to him, "Excuse me, I believe I'm the person you need to be talking to about orchestrating new research on a subject. What's the name of this subject? We were given so many names I don't know who has or hasn't been brought in yet," she explained, "It won't be a problem for me to send a few people down to the underground cells to grab samples if it's easier," she suggested. Pulling a touchscreen phone from her pocket, "I hear we have a non-dragon slayer being kept down there as well with a magic. I thought only dragon slayers were volatile enough to be under that much security. Clearly you caught yourselves a big one," she said, almost nonchalant at this point. She was being paid an incredible amount of money to turn a blind eye at the moment and being non-magic, she paid no attention to Sorcerer Weekly. She didn't know many of the guild wizards and she didn't care. Her research was all that mattered and thanks to Kimura, her dream of genetic manipulation was coming true, "Follow me," she said, making her way out of the room and down the corridor to the supercomputer, "Let's see what we have logged in here, shall we? What do you want to know first?"

| Guild- Dragon's Bane | Rank- A-rank | Magic- Dark Écriture | ☯ ████████████████████████████████████████████████ ☯ Ciaran’s yellow orbs promptly fell on the well-kept young woman whom approached him. “Ah, Dr. Shaw,” he smiled, dipping his head in acknowledgement. Her professionalism preceded her. Never one for small talk, she moved straight to the point, never deviating course. Her mind focused solely on her research. Work that she merely dreamed of performing until Master Kimura knocked on her door. His lips parted further to reveal pearly white teeth. “On task as always.” He stepped aside for the woman to exit before following her down the corridor. “I’m certain you’ll recognize this subject,” the tall male stated. “Her name is Kaya Tsukino. Fairy Tail's Water Dragon Slayer. We already know quite a bit of her history, but there is more still that Master Kimura wants to learn.” Twirling his hand, he added, “We do have some live ones down there right now. Blood Raine is quite possibly the greatest catch we could have achieved today. He’ll prove most interesting in the experiments I think. As to the Dragon Slayer, I’ll leave the retrieval of the samples to your discretion. Be warned, she will likely not let anyone get close without a fight. Should you send someone below, or even if you deign to bring her to the labs, make certain your people are prepared.” Ciaran kept his tone light and nonchalant, though there was a string of authority seeped through. He had witnessed the girl’s antics firsthand. There would be no doubt that she would create trouble should she be afforded the opportunity.
“Right,” he said once they drew to a halt in front of the supercomputer. Staring at the wondrous equipment, Ciaran tapped his chin in a thoughtful manner. “The most recent information we have on her is perhaps the last thing we should observe. There’s nothing there that isn’t public knowledge or that we haven’t combed through already.” There were many places they could make their starting point. Many bits of information that he had gathered over time. The question was- which route was best to take to determine the cause of Master Kimura’s discomfort? “Hmm…I am certain that we have information pertaining to her induction into the Fairy Tail guild. Perhaps we can start there and work our way backwards?” If nothing out of the ordinary were to be found in her past, then they could switch gears and work forwards to the present. A familiar wave of excitement surged through him. Outside of his art and wild array of muses, research and the depths of knowledge it inspired always thrilled him. This was especially true if it pleased his Flame Princess.

Dr Shaw nodded, "Well, someone has to be on point or nothing in this lab would get done in good time. You've brought in an impressively smart bunch but they couldn't navigate their way out of a chalk circle," she sighed. Many of the scientists with her were fairly young, fresh out of university or simply extremely smart individuals that couldn't afford higher education and wanted the funding for it. She raised an eyebrow at Ciaran, "Blood Raine, you say? Impressive. I don't think we'll be bringing him out of his cell. We will take the draining equipment down to him. The consequences of something going wrong with him would be more dire than a water dragon slayer flooding the labs. I've seen his handiwork. He ripped the arm off of that boy your guild sent to L.A.. Are you sure he's a light wizard?" she asked, slightly amused at the thought of someone so violent being part of Sabertooth. They were brutes but having a murderer in their midst was pushing it, "Your master has provided us with state of the art equipment. Being a dragon slayer herself has worked to an advantage. She knows the base behaviour and thought process that goes through a dragon's mind so we hopefully won't have much of a problem handling her," she smiled. Kimura was a girl after her own heart. Motivated and would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. It made Dr Shaw almost wish she'd bothered to learn magic so she could join the guild.
Seating herself at the computer, she typed in Kaya's name to retrieve her file, "Ok... I think I'll just read what we have in this file. Kaya Tsukino: aged 15, born January 25th 2002, blood type O, originally from Kyoto, Japan and the result of being raised by what would presumably be a water dragon as she utilises water dragon slayer magic with no evidence of dragon lacrima playing a part. However, the name and location of her dragon are unknown. While it's not usual for a dragon's location to be unknown, we usually have the name but not in this case. Anyway... Let's skip her height, weight and appearance... ah, here we go, extensive repertoire of spells, the most out of all the slayers we've logged on here and able to tap into her dragon force with relative ease. Direct connection with water which allows extra abilities such as holding her breath for a long time and water cleansing. Heightened senses as with all slayers and likewise with the norm, she has an exceed companion named Yuki," she said, concluding the basic knowledge they had of the slayer in her present state, "Where is this exceed? Did you collect him also? He would be great leverage for getting her to behave and I'd like to look into what connects a slayer and their flying cats so solidly," she requested, hoping that Ciaran and Aadava had at least tried to bring the strange creature in. Scrolling past the list of spells and observational diary, Dr Shaw reached the 'personal history' section, "Hmm, this isn't very full," she said, "It says here she joined Fairy Tail in 2012 when she was nearly 10 and has been there ever since but apart from her travel records going from Japan to New York there's nothing. It's like she appeared out of nowhere. No birth certificate, no bank account before she got to America, there isn't even anyone else with the same last name as her," she said with confusion. The people creating files for all the wizards under observation certainly hadn't slacked. Everyone else had almost complete profiles, "It was bad enough we couldn't trace Raine back further than the age of 5 but this girl has a whole 9 years missing." Dr Shaw thought hard, "Without meaning any disrespect, perhaps your master should have tried to keep the master of Fairy Tail alive a bit longer because he probably would have been able to tell us this information. But, what's done is done and I suppose you'll have to ask the girl herself. A bit of torture can job one's memory if she isn't willing. We have some stuff we can give you if you want?," she shrugged, not having any other suggestions.
OOC: I hope this is ok! I worked out dates based on the year 2017

| Guild- Dragon's Bane | Rank- A-rank | Magic- Dark Écriture | ☯ ████████████████████████████████████████████████ ☯ “I’m inclined to agree with you,” he laughed at the woman’s opinion of her fellow scientists. Her description was not too far off. Many of them needed to be told what to do or which direction to take their research. Dr. Shaw was the exact opposite of them all. Ciaran believed she would go far in her field. She held the perfect mix of desire and morality- or lack thereof- to expand her horizons. Hearing D. Shaw question Raine’s perceived moral standing, he shrugged, “I asked him that very same thing.” An amused smile touched his features. “He claims to be one. But I’m certain he’s fooling himself. His dark half will take hold in time. Then there will be no going back for him.” There could be no doubt in his mind. Blood Raine would overthrow the meeker Raine. Terror would grasp the innocent as the light mage would fall to his own inner tormented mind. Ciaran desired very much to witness the event when the time came. Perhaps the time would be nigh once he became fully incorporated into the experiments. “Master Kimura is not the norm when it comes to Dragon Slayers,” he cautioned the lead scientist. “Her insight is invaluable to understanding the inner workings of the others, but each one holds their own unique qualities. It is unwise to underestimate them. It’s why we’ve taken extra precautions.” The dark mage recalled the tale relayed to him about the Lightning Dragon Slayer earlier that day, as well as the unanticipated expenditure of effort in retrieving the girl below. Even now, it seemed that the remaining Slayers were proving to be difficult targets since he’d yet to hear of any further successes in subduing them. They could not afford to make amateur mistakes.
Settling his backside against the computer, Ciaran listened while Shaw imparted the details of Kaya’s file. “No,” he huffed a perturbed sigh upon mention of the Exceed, shaking his head. None of those initially sent to retrieve the Water Dragon Slayer had even considered targeting the flying feline. “Her capture did not exactly go as planned. I myself had to step in and assist in it. He was not in the area when I arrived, so I assume she sent him away during the fight to keep him safe. I’ll see if we can find him to aid in your goals. I must admit, it would be intriguing to test her reactions and will should he fall into danger.” He made a mental note to speak with Kimura on the matter. Waving for her to proceed, he received an unpleasant surprise when she disclosed that some of the information regarding the girl was absent. “That man would never have given us anything on her. He was far too stubborn and prideful for his own good.” Ciaran shifted in place, resting his left hip against the console. “I must remember to never give Marsell the job of inputting data again.” Pointing towards the screen, he continued, “There are some who carry the same last name. They are hard to find, however. I had to go back a few generations to track them down. May I?” The white-haired male did not wait for her response before he started typing commands. He stopped only when the necessary text filled the screen. “See,” he stepped aside so that she could read as he explained, “After some exhaustive investigating, I discovered someone born in the 1800s, during the Edo period of Japan. A child bearing the very same birthname- Kaya Tsukino. Records of her existence are equally as lacking as our present day one. But it can be assumed that it is a family name. I’ve kept surveillance on the surviving members should we need to pursue that avenue.”
Ciaran peered down at the young scientist. A feral glint lit upon his eyes. “I like the way you think, Doctor. It is a shame that you cannot join our guild’s ranks in a more…official capacity. I think you’d do well, and it would be pleasant to have more intellectual conversations from time to time. But, alas, I’ll have to settle for such moments as these. What sort of stuff do you have in mind?” He pinned her with a charming smile. One which spoke to the excitement and pleasure of interacting on an intellectual level with another. And one which denoted his anticipation of inflicting pain on another soon enough.
