Fairy Tail: Wandering Beast

Third person POV

Morrigan and Salem got to a clearing in the green zone of the blood feather forest getting ready to commence their little bet. Salem narrowed his eyes at her and she looked way too calm and just played with the sac containing the remaining diamonds. She just stood there waiting for him to make for him to make the first move.

'Yep, she's defiantly somewhat an experienced mage but the question is what class B, A or S.' Salem thought. He knew it was a bad idea to take the deal but he needed to know at least where he stood.

"Well kid am waiting~." She sang with a haughty look on her face. He then dashed towards her at full speed getting her to whistle. 'Nice speed there.'. She easily avoided his attempt to grab the sac. "But not fast enough." She said as she dodged him again and again.

Salem than attempted to trip her by making a hard swipe on her leg but she just lifted it and avoided the attack, he twisted his body to kick the sack out of her hand but she grabbed his leg and throw him hard towards a big tree leaving a crack on it. He got up and circled her bit than ran towards her again getting an eye row from her as he flung kick to her face but was easily dodged it, he attempted to strike elbow to but she got behind him with speeds he couldn't track and chopped his head hard sending him crushing across the ground.

'Okay I now my strength and speed still suck.' He thought to himself as he got up holding his head as that chop really gave a slight concussion. He then loosened his right shoe which didn't go unnoticed by Morrigan.

He then proceeded to attempt to kick which she yet again dodged but his right shoe came off and was flung to the hand which held the goods at high speed and pressure knocking them off her hand, which stumped her a little. The sack flew in the air and Salem decided to attack at the slight second Morrigan was baffled.

'Beast soul: Werecheetah!' He transformed into his werecheetah form and with a massive boost in speed he launched to the sack and was about to grab it when it was grabbed by a flesh like tendril.

"What the fuck?" Why blurted out and saw Morrigan's right arm became a tendril.

"Not bad junior but it's still not good enough." She said transforming her arm back to normal.

'So, she has some sort of body magic go to now.' Salem thought as he got in a running position and dashed for Morrigan. He proceeded to perform a series of strikes but she dodged and blocked them all but unlike in his normal form she was actually trying more now but steal anticipated his attacks with some ease.

Salem was about to claw her the moment his claws reached her skin they couldn't even scratch her like her body hardened. He was shocked at this but in his shock Morrigan connected a powerful left hook straight to his jaw sending him flying into the forest.

"Oh, my maybe I over did it a bit." She said as she went after him.

Salem had regained his bearings and landed on all fours before he hit the ground. He was touching his jaw and flinched at the pain of her blow.

"Fuck that could have taken my jaw off this lady sure is something." He said to himself but suddenly his whiskers twitched and he saw her coming his way. When she reached him, he jumped into the trees disappearing into them.

'Even if you camouflage yourself junior, I still know exactly where you are.' She thought as she looked at one of the trees. Salem began moving rapidly among the trees and began launching the air pressured air fits for all directions.

She turned her arm into an extra hardened tendril and began whipping away all the incoming air attacks. Dodging was not much of an option since the attacks were coming from multiple directions ad if she tried to show off too much some of them might have gotten a lucky hit. After she was done, she noticed that the boy wasn't in the forest in trees anymore.

Suddenly Salem burst through the ground in his rabbit form surprising her and throw mud in her face blinding her and quickly reach for the sack but a small magic circle appeared on her arm in the that nanosecond and eye bow appeared and flashed a bright light returning the favor in blinding him as Morrigan's leg connected a strong kick to his stomach making him cough blood and get launched in the air.

"Animal soul: Owl." He was in his owl form keeping in the skies and coughing violently. "Fuck I thing she really screwed up my stomach and got some ribs too." He flinched but he could handle lit.

"A werecheetah, an adorable rabbit now an owl huh. That's some interesting Takeover list you got there." Morrigan said as she looked up at the boy. "How about we make things more interesting." She said as she grew bat like wings from her back.

"Dude what?" Salem questioned and Morrigan just smirked as she threw the sack up and down.

"Am guessing you what my magic is by now." And he did somewhat of an idea of what it was.

'So, like Muzan's blood demon art or Mahito's Idle transfiguration.' He thought. 'The problem is her only magic ability or does she have more.' Salem was a little too in his thoughts that he almost did catch the woman basically flash step in front of him before he could react and punch him hard on the head making him sending downwards, but he still managed to keep in the air but now had a bump on his comical head.

"WHAT THE HELL!" He yelled at her.

"Keep your head out of your ass junior if I was an enemy out for blood you would have been dead!" She lectured him.

He than shot his sharp feathers at her but she easily dodged. The two than began maneuvering around in but Morrigan was faster than Salem. He tried blowing strong winds at her but it barely did much as she counted with her own, when he shot his feathers, she dodged or swatted them away. Things weren't looking good for him plus close combat was completely out of the question, the best bet was to get some distance and come up with another plan of attack.

"HUH"!?" He looked down and saw of her tendril attached to on his talon and she smirked wiggled her eyebrow a bit. "Don't you dare!" He was ignored as she began swing him around like a ragdoll and pulled him towards her and she threw the sack very high in the air.

'SHIT!' He panicked as he was going to transform again but he was too slow as she connected a solid punch to cheek and he was sure he felt his cheek bone crack. She wasn't done she kicked him hard with her leg causing to rotate deliver a three-piece combo and elbow his back sending him crushing down hard making a small crater and out of his owl form than she caught the sack.

"I-I thought this was only supposed to be me trying to get that sack form you not a straight up fight." He said as he wiping blood from his mouth and nose.

"I never said I won't kick your little ass as am defending it." She said as he dove for him and was about to land a kick to his face but he transformed into his ant form to block the attack but he was sent sliding across the ground. "Oh, an ant now huh." She said with interest.

Salem looked at his hands as they were still shaking from the impact. Even though this form multiplies his physical strength and durability by ten it won't be any help here. Maybe if he was stronger and was better in hand-to-hand knowledge like some martial arts. Her wings than flung some bone projectiles at him which he escaped by transforming into his rabbit form and dive underground. He came out a little further away from the area of attack.

"Aw you know you should stay like that you look adorable." She cooed at his appearance despite how beat up he looked now.

"YOU HAG ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!" He yelled at her flipping the bird this woman was crazy as hell.

"Oh, relax they shatter on impact they would have just bruised you up more at best but not critically harm you." She shrugged and descended from the sky and her wings went back in her body. Salem than just raised his hands in surrender.

"Alright that's enough I lose you crazy hag keep the damn diamonds." He spoke as got out of his hole and laid on his back while his transformation disappeared and he breathed heavily.

Morrigan just come by and sat by him and placed two small sized diamonds on his chest and before he could ask, she said he at least deserved them. He didn't know whether she was congratulating him or pitying him at that point.

"Hey kid can I ask you something." Morrigan asked Salem and he just nodded.

"Do you know a girl named Mirajane Strauss." She asked and he raised an eyebrow at that question.

'So, she's met Mirajane before huh.' He thought. "No who's that anyway and why do you ask." He played dumb.

"She was some punk girl I met when I was in Fiore, she had white hair and could use take-over magic like yourself but I was but she had a different category so I thought you were family of sorts." She told me and I could see her point.

"So that was the point of this ass whopping session. You got beef with this chick and were taking it out on me hag." He sounded annoyed.

"Stop calling me hag am only 20-years-old junior." She flicked his forehead slightly. "And no, I really don't care about her. You I just got pissed you called me old hag so I wanted to give you a little spanking." She joked.

"Seriously?" He gave her a deadpan stare.

"Of course not." She chuckled.

"So, what was the reason than!"

"That's for me to know and you to find out."

"Well congratulations you just beat up an eleven-year-old kid for no reason. Feel proud of yourself for doing that?" His voice was full of sarcasm.

"Oh, stop complaining I can tell your no mere eleven-year-old just by the way you talk." She got up picked him up and gave him a piggy back ride.

"HEY!!" He protested.

"Stop complaining and tell me where you're sleeping so I can drop you off junior." She said and he grumbled but told her where he was staying. 

"Wait at least take me to the clinic first to get some of these injuries checked out!"
