Chapter 20: Natsu and Mirajane

“Natsu!” Mirajane cried as she ran toward the edge of the cliff. She got down on her knees and stretched her her head to see what befell the Dragon Slayer. She grinned widely when she saw him using his flames as thrusters to keep himself airborne. “He's okay...” She sighed in relief.

“What are you looking at?” Mirajane turned her head to see her brother and the others glaring at Kranos and Feena. Gras was crying and trying to wake up the Barukan.

“Natsu will handle that bastard...so it's up to us to kick your asses!” Elfman roared, transforming himself into full beast mode.

“I knew you were going to do that.” He stated.

“Like I care!” He charged and slammed his fist down at him. Kranos and Feena jumped back as his fists slammed against the ground.

“Just a heads up...” Kranos spoke as he landed back on his feet. “I wouldn't attack so aggressively.”

“Shut up!” Elfman roared. He then charged, but he was stopped by Gray.

“Don't be an idiot, Elfman!” He shouted.

“Huh? What?” He asked.

“Gray's right. If you keep attacking recklessly like that, we could all follow in the same footsteps as Natsu.” Erza told him. “Just calm down.”

“R-Right...sorry...” He took deep breaths to calm down.

“Was it wise to tell them that?” Feena asked Kranos.

“It was if you didn't want to get killed.” Kranos responded.

“Right...” She pushed her glasses up and then grabbed her staff from her back. “I guess we will let Magnus-sama handle the Salamander.”

“Hey Gras! How long are you going to cry for!?” Kranos called out to the youngest person of the group. They heard him sob, but he quickly stood up. He rubbed his forearm against his eyes to wipe away his tears.

“I hate them...” He cried. “I hate all of you...HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO BARU-CHAN!?” He screamed and when he did, he let out an ear piercing sound that caused the others to cover their ears.

“What the hell is this!?” Gray shouted.

“Oh boy...he's crying again...” Kranos sighed.

“Is it wise for us to let him go into a rampage?” Feena asked.

“Well, it is a fight, but...he could destroy this entire cliff. It's not really a win-win situation.” He told her and sighed.

“Damn it...will you shut up!” Elfman roared, getting annoyed and charged toward the kid. He stretched his arm out o grab a hold of the kid by his head, but his eyes widened when Gras jumped up and grabbed Elfman by his neck. “Gah!” Elfman tried to get him off his neck. “Let go...” He growled. Gras however wasn't doing so and continued choking the larger man.

“Elfman!” Gray shouted.

'W-What the hell is with this kid...?' He could feel the kid's grip tighten. 'How is he so strong?'

“Damn it. Let him go!” Gray went into his pose and prepared an attack.

“Sorry...but I won't let you do that...” Gray's eyes widened when Kranos appeared in front of him. He delivered a kick, which Gray blocked by putting up his arms. He slid away from Kranos and glared at him. “A swing of your sword from my right...” He said and as he predicted, Erza came in and swung her sword in her Black Wing Armor. Her eyes widened when he ducked to dodge her attack and then use his momentum to spin and deliver a kick straight to Erza's gut, but she flapped her wings to evade it.

“How did you know where I would attack?” She asked.

“It's because I can see a few seconds into the future.” He replied. “So, trying a sneak attack on me won't work.”

“Ice Make: Lance!” Kranos turned around and saw multiple attacks going at him. He dodged each one, while making his way toward Gray. Juvia noticed this and was not going to let him do something to her Gray-sama.

“Water Cane!” She created a whip of water and swung it at Kranos. Kranos predicted her doing so and started avoiding her attacks. At the same time, Erza charged towards him.

“Black Wing: Moon Slash!” Kranos turned around to see how he could avoid the attack, but he suddenly felt something wet on his legs and looked down to Juvia's water cane wrapped around his shin.

“Got you.” She smirked. Kranos turned back around and raised his arms to defend himself from Erza's attack. It connected as his vest was torn apart and a few cuts appeared on his arms.

'Why didn't he know Juvia would grab his leg?' Gray wondered. 'If he could see the future then why?'

“Oh man...look what you did to my vest...” He groaned, examining his vest. He starting taking it off and looked over at Juvia. “I hope you don't faint after seeing me take off my vest...”

“Juvia is not going to...” She told him, still holding on his leg.

“Oh...so it only works for him, huh?” He pointed at Gray and he saw her blush. “Oh well...not like I care...” He tossed his vest and then started moving his neck from side to side. “Although, I'm impressed that you managed to hurt me.”

“Why didn't you know Juvia would capture you?” Gray asked.

“How you know I didn't know?” He responded. “Let me tell you all something...seeing the future is boring. I never get surprised. It's a pain, but it gets so boring. I let her capture me so that I could give you guys at least a chance to defeat me.”

“I doubt it.” Erza responded. “If that was true then why is it that you didn't say anything about Natsu.”

“Oh that...I thought it would be funny to see Magnus get punched.” Gray sweat dropped.

“What the hell is with this guy?”

“I still don't believe it.” Erza stated. “Seeing the future has to have some sort of disadvantage.”

“I'm not saying your wrong, but let's see if you can find that out.” He smirked and then clapped his hands together. He then started opening his hands and a sword started appearing. Once the sword appeared in full, he grabbed it and spun it around in his hands before pointing it at Erza. “You seem like a good swordsman, so how about me and you have a duel?”

“It won't be quite fair if you can see the future.” Erza stated, but smirked. “But I guess that's what would make it exciting.”

“Hahaha, that's the spirit!” He swung his sword to cut off Juvia's water cane and then charged at Erza.

Lucy, Levy and Happy stared at the blond woman across from her. She held her staff towards her. “I hear you are a Celestial Spirit Mage.” Feena said.

“I am and what of it?” Lucy grabbed her whip.

“Nothing...I just find using spirits to fight for you instead of fighting yourself to be a little troublesome.” She answered.

“I can fight without my Celestial Spirits!” Lucy yelled.

“Huh? Really?” Happy asked in shock.

“Be quiet!” She yelled at the cat.

“Oh...then how about you fight me without the help of your spirits?” Feena told her.

“Fine!” Lucy exclaimed, stretching her whip out. 'I know I can beat her...' She told herself. She swung her whip and was able to grab Feena's staff. She then tried pulling her whip, but it wouldn't budge. 'Why can't I...?' Her eyes widened when she felt herself get lifted from the ground and then slammed down onto the ground.

“Lucy!”
“Lulu-chan!”

“If you think you can try to steal my staff away, then you're mistaken. In fact, I doubt you could even touch me.” Feena told her. She removed the whip from her staff and pointed it once again at Lucy. She jumped and tried slamming her staff straight down at Lucy. Lucy rolled to the side to avoid the contact.

'This is bad...' Lucy groaned as she felt pain. She flicked her whip back toward her. She got herself back her feet. “Take this!” She flicked her whip again at her. Feena slapped the whip with her staff and then rushed toward her. 'Oh no...' Lucy's eyes widened as Feena tried stabbing Lucy in the stomach. Lucy dodged by waving to side. She then flicked back her whip and hit Feena in her back. Lucy smirked that she made contact.

“Looks like I got you!” Feena was on one knee and she pushed back her glasses once again.

“You did it, Lucy!”

“Lulu-chan!”

“You got lucky. But do you really think you could defeat me with a simple attack like that?” Feena glared at her.

“Of course not...” Lucy smiled as Happy cheered her on, waving flags with her face on them around. 'There has to be something I can do...maybe if I steal her staff somehow...' The only way she could think of a way to steal her staff was to do the same thing she tried the first time, but she knew she wasn't strong enough to just snatch away the staff from her grasps. She heard the jingling sound from her keys, but she ignored it.

“I'm not going to wait for you to make a move you know.” Feena told her and then slammed her staff down on the ground, did a front flip and then swung her staff down at Lucy. She jumped away to avoid it, covering her head with her hands. “I suggest you stop running.”

“So you could hit me!” Lucy yelled.

“Of course, it would save me some trouble.” Feena answered. Lucy glared at the woman. She had to think of something.

“Don't worry Lulu-chan! I'll help you!” Levy gave Happy the book she brought along with her. She wrote the word fire in front of her and then outstretched her arms and spun around. “Solid Script :Heat Spell!” The words fire turned into a flame and were shot right at Feena. Feena took her staff and then spun it around as the flames were being deflected.

“Sorry...but you have to try something a bit better than that.” Feena told them as soon as the flame disappeared.

“What should we do, Lulu-chan?” Levy asked her.

“Levy-chan...can you create anything with your magic?”

“Hai...?”

“Then that gives me an idea!” Both Levy and Happy blinked at her.

“I don't know what you are planning...but don't expect me to wait around for you to do something!” Feena charged, preparing her staff to strike them.

“Levy...can you create something slippery?” Lucy asked her.

“Right!” Levy then began writing a word in front of her. “Sold Script: Oil!” She wrote oil as a large stream of oil poured out of the word towards Feena.

“Hmph...like I'd let such sticky and disgusting stuff touch me!” She told them and then jumped over the large puddle of oil. She raised her staff above her head and prepared to slam it down on the three.

“Levy-chan...spray the oil on her!” Lucy shouted.

“Right!” Levy redirected her spell upward and Freena's eyes widened as the oil was shot at her. She quickly placed her staff in front of her and then did the same thing as she did with the the fire and spun her staff.

“That's enough, Levy-chan.”

“Huh? O-Okay.” She stopped her spell as Feena dropped back down to the ground.

“Hmph...I don't know what you tried to pull...” She lifted her glasses. “But whatever it was it...” Her eyes widened when she felt her staff become moist and slippery with the oil. “I see...but what do you...” She raised her head to look at Lucy. She gasped when she saw Lucy flick her whip as it wrapped around her staff. She then pulled it back and unlike before where Feena had a firm grip on it, the staff slipped through her hands and toward the three. “You...”

“Got it!” Lucy grinned. “Eww....” She then said after feeling the oil on her bare hands.

“I see! So that's what you were planning Lulu-chan!” Levy exclaimed.

“Yeah...” She chuckled nervously, her fingers holding the staff to make sure it didn't slip out of her hands. “Levy...can you...?” She asked and she nodded her head in understanding.

“Yep!” She wrote the words water in front of her. “Solid Script: Water!” Water came out of the word, drenching the staff.

“Yosh!” Lucy grinned, feeling the staff not being so slippery anymore and then turned toward Feena. “Prepare yourself!” She said and then charged at her.

“Go Lucy!” Happy cheered.

“Take this!” She swung her staff. However, it was easily dodged by Feena.

“Your attacks...are too wide...” She told her and dodged another swing. “Do you really plan on defeating me with attacks that are so easy to dodge? Especially from someone who never used a staff before.” She dodged again.

“Take this!” She swung her staff again, but she still wasn't able to hit her. She tried once more, but this time it was caught by Feena. “W-What?”

“Like I said...someone who never used a staff can't beat someone who learned how to use it for years.” She told her and then kicked Lucy in the gut. Lucy was forced to let go of the staff as she fell on her back.

“Lulu-chan!” Levy screamed in worry. Feena then turned toward her.

“It would be best if I deal with you first. That magic of yours is quite troublesome.” She then ran at her. Levy stood her ground and prepared to take her on. She started writing another word.

“Solid Script: Hole!” The word was placed on the ground in front of her. Instead of running straight through like Levy hoped, Feena jumped up and raised her arms to strike Levy.

Levy raised her arms up to take cover and prepare herself from getting hit. However she never did and when she opened her eyes, she saw a large figure appear in front of her, his axe blocking her staff. “Mooo! I won't let you hurt one of Lucy's friends!” Taurus mooed as he pushed Feena away.

“You...” Feena narrowed her eyes at Taurus and then turned her head to see Lucy looking at her with a key in her hand. “I thought you said you wouldn't use your spirits?”

“Sorry...but I was foolish to think I could win without my spirits.” She started.

“Lucy...” Happy frowned.

“I'm not saying I'm not strong...maybe I'm not as strong as Erza, but that doesn't mean I can't depend on my friends! It's because of them that I am strong. I don't need physical strength to win. You can say all you want, but I know that without my spirits I can't protect the smiles on my friends. Which is why I won't try something like that again! I know what my strength is. I'm Lucy Heartfilia and I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage!” She proclaimed as Taurus smirked, Levy smiled and Happy had a grin on his face.

“Well said, Lucy.” Erza said as she landed on her feet behind her.

“Erza...” The scarlet knight smirked at her before flying back to continue her fight with Kranos. Lucy nodded her head and looked back at Feena. “Alright Taurus! Defeat her!”

“Moo! As you wish, Lucy-san!” Taurus mooed again and then swung his axe at Feena. Feena gritted her teeth and raised her staff to block the axe. She was successful, but the force of the attack was too great for her and it pushed her away. She watched as Taurus charged at her. She quickly began dodging the axe, using her quickness to an advantage. She managed to get several hits by her staff whenever she had the opportunity, but for some reason it didn't have any effect on the large bull.

“W-Why aren't my attacks working?” She asked.

“That's because...” Lucy lifted her head with a smirk. “...Taurus is a big pervert and getting hit by a woman makes him happy!”

“W-What!?” Feena screamed and had a look of shock on her face.

“Mooooo! Lucy-san knows me the best after all!” He shouted with his eyes turning into hearts.

“Lulu-chan...” Levy sweat dropped.

“That's Lucy's spirits for ya!” Happy added.

“Now Taurus! Win!” Lucy proclaimed.

“As you wish!” Taurus exclaimed and charged at Feena. She gritted her teeth and backed away at the charging bull.

“I guess I have no choice but to use that.” She placed her staff in front of her. She then poured her magic into her staff as it began to glow a light green color. “Tempus: Kamikaze Death Scythes!” She spun her staff around and created a gust of wind that zoomed straight at Taurus, who stopped and put his axe in front of him to block the gust of wind. He lowered it slightly to see what was going to happen next and his eyes widened when he saw light green colored air compressed projectiles at him. He locked his shoulders and took the full blown of the attack as new cuts appeared around his body.

“Taurus!” Lucy screamed in horror as she saw her spirit take damage right in front of her. The attack dwell down as Taurus fell to his knees and his axe dropped to the ground. He was able to hold himself up with his hands as he panted, feeling pain throughout his body. “Taurus...why didn't you dodge? Lucy asked, feeling tears in her eyes.

“Because...” He spoke. “If I did...then Lucy-san would get hurt...as a spirit...that would be worse than death...” He told her.

“Taurus...” She felt tears in her eyes getting ready to fall.

“Don't worry about me...Lucy-san...I will protect you because that is my duty as a spirit...” He told her and then smiled at her. He then turned back around and steadily stood back up. He grabbed his axe and then clenched it tightly. He then started moving forward.

“W-What? How are you still...?” Feena asked in shock as she felt all her magic power leave her body from that one attack. She started backing away. “No...get back...”

“I will...not let you...hurt Lucy-san...”

“Taurus...”

“...and her breasts!”

“You still think about that!” Happy screamed in shock. Lucy however chuckled at him.

“No...get back...get ba-” She didn't get to finish as she fell into the solid script spell that Levy put on the ground before.

“She fell...” Levy muttered. Taurus looked down into the hole and saw that she lost consciousness when she fell into the hole. He let out a sigh and turned around to face Lucy. He then grinned and gave her a thumb up.

“We win...” He said.

“Y-Yeah...” She smiled back at Taurus who then returned to the Celestial Spirit World. 'Thank you...Taurus...'

“You did it, Lucy!” Happy cheered, flying toward her.

“Lulu-chan!” Levy followed and then hugged her friend.

“Thanks...” Lucy smiled and hugged her back.

Elfman couldn't believe how strong the little kid was. He tried to get him off of him, but his arms couldn't reach. He tried shaking him off, but his grip was too tight and Elfman was losing oxygen. He fell down to a knee. 'Damn it...' He groaned in anger.

“Elfman!” He heard his sister cry. At the sound of her voice, his eyes widened and he found the strength to get back up on his feet. He had to get the kid off of him. Since he couldn't reach him, he jumped up and then fell back down on his back. He heard the kid make a sound at the contact and felt his small arms come off of his neck. He got up and rolled off of the kid. He took the time to catch his breath and looked down at the kid. Once he caught his breath, he stood up on his feet.

“You people hurt, Baru-chan.” Elfman's eyes widened and looked to see Gras on all fours. His skin suddenly turned into a reddish brown color and his eyes were completely white.

“W-What the hell...?” He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

“I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!” He roared and then just attacked Elfman, pushing him back down to the ground. Elfman laid on his back as he watched the kid raise his arm and then punch him in the stomach. Elfman couldn't believe how strong the punch was. It was so strong that it made him cough up blood and create cracks around his body. Gras however wasn't finished as he lifted his other arm and punched Elfman again.

At the sound of Elfman's pain, Mirajane screamed out his name. “Elfman!” Gray heard this and looked over at the two and his eyes widened as he saw Gras deliver punches straight down to his fellow guild members stomach. He looked over at Erza and saw her clashing swords against Kranos.

'She could handle him...' He then ran toward Elfman to help him. Juvia saw her Gray-sama run toward Elfman and followed. Gras continued to punch Elfman, this time aimed it at his face.

“WRAAAHHHH!” He roared and went to deliver the final blow, but Gray was able to freeze his arm just in time. Gras turned his head to look at the person who froze his arm and growled at him.

'This kid...' Gray's eyes widened. Gras grabbed the ice and clenched it as hard as he could. The ice began to crack before shattering. The rampaging kid then charged at Gray. “Crap...he's fast...” Gray started leaning back to avoid getting hit by one of his punches.

“Water lock!” Juvia stopped Gras' movements with a large sphere of water. Gray turned his head to look at Juvia and then smiled at her.

“Thanks.” He said and it caused Juvia to blush and turn her eyes into hearts.

“Anything for you, Gray-sama!” Gray only sweat dropped at her and then turned back to Gras. He got into position and then called out his attack.

“Ice Make: Freeze!” He said while the sphere of water started freezing. He completely froze the sphere with Gras in it. “That should keep that kid quiet.” He sighed.

“Are you sure about that?” He heard Kranos speak as he backed away from Erza. “Do you want to know what Gras is?”

“What?”

“He is a wild animal.”

“Huh?”

“Why do you think Gras was able to befriend the Barukan so easily? It's not just because the Barukan doesn't like killing kids, but it's because Gras is an animal himself. He is able to make friends with any vicious beasts that roam this world, except for mythical beasts like Dragons of course. The reason is because he when he gets upset or angry, he turns into a rampaging animal. It's a special type of magic called Berserk. It causes his blood to boil and his animal instincts to take over. With that, his physical strength becomes five times that of a humans.”

“Why are you telling us this?” Gray asked.

“Because...something like a little ice won't stop him.” He smirked and then charged once again at Erza. Gray turned his head around at the sound of cracking and his eyes widened as his ice was slowly breaking.

“Crap...” He got into his stance to prepare for the kid's monster strength to be released. The ice shattered and just as Gray predicted, he was heading for him with his right arm raised and fist clenched.

“WRAAAHHHH!” The kid roared.

“Ice Make...” He began, but stopped when he saw a large figure appear behind Gras.

“You bastard kid!” Elfman roared and delivered a strong punch at his back, slamming him straight down to the ground. The blow caused a small shake as the others stopped their fights to see what happened and they were able to look just in time to see Elfman slam a strong punch down at Gras.

“Oooh...that's scary...” Kranos commented. “But he really shouldn't have done that.” He said and looked over to where Mirajane was. Erza looked as well and her eyes widened as she saw a crack begin to spread just in front of Mirajane.

“Oh no! Mira!” She screamed. It was too late as the crack caused more of the cliff to break apart and everyone watched in horror as Mirajane began falling down toward the volcano, the same way Natsu did.

“NEE-CHAN!!” Elfman screamed.

Mirajane screamed as loud as she could as she started falling down toward the volcano. “Natsu!”

A few moments ago...

Natsu was glad that he was able to fly, otherwise he would have fallen straight down into the lava. He searched around for Magnus, but didn't see him anywhere. The parts of the cliff that fell landed straight down into the lava, but only the smaller debris melted. He wondered if Magnus fell into the lava. He thought right as he watched something come out of the lava and land onto one of the hard molten rocks that weren't melted by the lava.

“So...he can go into the lava and not melt...” Natsu deduced as he lowered himself down to the same large rock and glared at Magnus.

“How do you like my territory, Salamander? Is it too hot for you?” He smirked and chuckled.

“No...this is perfect for me.” He smirked back.

“Oh really, but I wonder how long you can handle being inside this volcano?”

“What makes you think I can't?”

“Because, one false step and you can easily fall into the lava and get killed.” When he said that, his arms became magma again and he launched a stream of magma at Natsu. Natsu dodged to the right and than ran toward Magnus. Magnus continued to launch streams of magma at Natsu, who continued to dodge while running toward Magnus. When he was close enough, Natsu engulfed his fist into a powerful flame and threw a fist at him. Magnus didn't dodge and simply let him attack him in the gut. Natsu's eyes suddenly widened as he felt his arm begin to burn at an intense level. He looked at his stomach and saw that his body became magma as well and his fist was covered with it. He quickly pulled away and jumped back as far as he could.

“Ahh!” He hissed in pain as he looked at his hand to see it lightly darkened. 'Damn it...it burns...I can't believe this...' He winced as he clenched his fist. He looked up to see his opponent smirking.

“What's the matter? I thought you could handle a little heat.” Natsu gritted his teeth in anger.

'Damn...it doesn't look like I'll be able to win so easily.' Natsu clenched both his fists, ignoring the pain in his right hand, and slammed them together. 'Flame of Rebuke!' His flames grew in size as some golden flames became mixed in with regular colored flames.

“These flames...are the same ones you used to defeat that demon, isn't it?” Magnus said, eying the weird looking flames.

“They are...how do you know about that?” He asked.

“Because I saw your fight with him. To be honest, I was a little impressed, but not that impressed to think you could defeat me.” He smirked.

“We'll see about that!” Natsu shouted and increased the heat of his flames. Once he was set, he charged at him again.

“Are you stupid or something!? Don't you remember what happened last time? Do you really want to lose an arm?” He laughed as he just stood still, letting his idiocy be his downfall. Natsu clenched his fists and then jumped into the air. 'Hmm...what is he planning?'

“Flame of Rebuke in right hand! Lightning Flame Dragon in my left!” He shouted as his right hand had the flame of rebuke and his left hand had lightning mixed with his flames. He then slammed his hands together and combined his flames together before directing it straight down toward Magnus. “Lighting Flame Dragon's Brilliant Flame!” The attack connected and created a large explosion of fire and lightning. Natsu landed back down as the large rock they stood on got smaller. Natsu wasn't sure if he won or not, but waited patiently in case the fight wasn't over. The dust cloud settled and Magnus was no longer in front of him. He looked around in case he was hiding somewhere. “Where are you!?”

“Right here!” Natsu's eyes widened as his magma formed appeared behind him. Natsu turned his head to see his magma coming straight toward him.

'Crap!' Natsu opened his hands to face Magnus and then ignited them. He was luckily able to avoid getting his insides burned to a crisp by using his flames as thrusters to push him away. Magnus didn't stop and followed right behind Natsu. Natsu looked behind him and saw Magnus following him. The two began roaming around the crater, Magnus launching streams of magma in his direction.

“Don't think you can get away!” He shouted. “Magma...Eruption!” He created several magic circles on the lava below them and Natsu looked down to see a geyser of magma come up toward him.

“Oh shit!” He cursed and evaded the geyser, but that was not it as before he could straighten up, another geyser of lava erupted towards him. 'Shit...' He looked back and saw Magnus was still following him and now started shooting streams of magma at him again. Natsu was having a difficult time evading both of these attacks, but was managing, but who know show long that would last.

“HAHAHA! You can't run Salamander!” Natsu heard him shout and his laughter was getting louder and louder, telling Natsu that he was catching up to him. It was long before he could sense Magnus right behind him.

Natsu took a deep breath, turned around while using his feet to thrust him in the same direction and then initiated his attack. “Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar!” He breathed out as Magnus transformed into magma to avoid getting the full blown of the attack. The attack caused the magma eruptions to stop. Natsu kept his eyes and ears alert in case he decided some sort of sneak attack. He suddenly heard rumbling and turned his head to see the cliff that his friends were on start to crumble down toward the volcano.

“Natsu!” His eyes widened at the sound of Mirajane's voice.

“Mira!” He called back out and flew as fast as he could toward her. He couldn't see at first, but saw her in between some of the debris and increased the flames on his feet to get to her as fast as he possibly could. Mira closed her eyes as tightly as possible, hoping the person she called out to would save her. She suddenly felt warm, strong hands behind her back and under her legs. She opened her eyes and saw the very familiar pink hair. She smiled.

“Natsu!” Natsu looked at her and gave her a small smile before looking back up to find a place for her to stay safe. He found such a place and took her to a ledge that was close to the top of the volcano. He landed on the ledge and placed her down.

“Are you okay?” He asked and she nodded her head. He sighed in relief.

“That's good. What happened?” He asked.

“The others were fighting and it caused the ground to shake until the ledge I was on started collapsing.” She told him. She then suddenly hugged him, which caught Natsu by surprise.

“M-Mira...” He asked confused.

“I'm so glad you came to rescue me!” She told, hugging him tightly.

“Hey, I wouldn't let anyone kidnap one of my nakama and get away with it.” He told her and she pulled away. She smiled at him and nodded her head.

“Yeah...I know...” She replied. He nodded.

“SALAMANDER!!” They both gasped as they heard Magnus yelling from down below.

“Crap! I almost forgot about him.” Natsu muttered. He turned around and was preparing to make his way back down to face him. However, he suddenly felt Mirajane grab his vest.

“Natsu...” She whispered. He turned around and looked at her.

“Mira...I have to go.”

“I know...but promise me you won't die.” He made a noise in surprise. He was surprised by what she said, but then smiled.

“Here.” He said and she was surprised when he handed her his scarf.

“W-What?”

“Hold onto that for me. I don't want it to get burned by that bastard. Also, it's my way of saying that I won't die, so don't let go of it until I get back, okay!” He grinned at her. Mirajane blushed and clutched the scarf tightly. She nodded and smiled.

“Alright.” He gave one more nod before flying back down to face Magnus. Mira pressed the scarf closer to her and couldn't help but smile. She knew how important the scarf was to him and the fact that he was telling her to hold onto it meant that he trusted her with it. She blushed as she clutched the scarf even closer to her.

“Salamander!” Magnus yelled again as he watched Natsu descend toward him.

“You called you ugly bastard!” He remarked and then puffed his cheek. “Lightning Flame Dragon's Roar!” He launched another dragon's roar. Magnus didn't attempt to dodge and instead turned his body into magma and let the attack go right through him. Natsu landed on the same molten rock he was on and then glared at him.

“Where is your scarf?”

“Why the hell should I tell you?”

“I see...so you gave it to her...” Natsu stayed silent. “Tell me, Salamander. Do you know why I kidnapped Mira?”

“So you could marry her...” He started to chuckle at his answer.

“Well yeah, but there is another reason why. You see...she was my first love...”

“Okay and...” Natsu said without a care in the world. “That doesn't give you the right to marry her!”

“Oh and what gives you the right to be with her!” He yelled back.

“What are you talking about?”

“Are you stupid or something?”

“I'm not stupid, you are!”

“I can't believe she fell for an childish idiot like you.” He shook his head in disappointment. Natsu made a noise in surprise at his words.

“W-What?”

“Don't you get it...Mira likes you!”

“I like her too, so what?” Natsu responded as Magnus looked at him in disbelief.

“It's unbelievable how stupid you are.” He shook his head.

“I'm not stupid and get ready to get your ass kicked!” He pointed at him.

“Hmph...you really are an idiot...fine then...I guess it's time for me to use that technique.” He smirked and then jumped backwards, falling into the lava.

“Huh? What the hell is he planning?” Suddenly, a large geyser of lava came out from each side of Natsu. “This technique again...” However, it wasn't the same technique as the top of the geysers formed into the heads of a monster Natsu never seen before. “W-What the hell is this?” The two magma shaped monsters let out a roar and before Natsu knew it, the two heads were heading in his direction. “Crap!” Natsu flew away just before the lava beasts touched him and once again began the cat and mouse chase. Natsu got tired of it and as one of the lava monsters came his way, he once puffed his cheeks. “Fire Dragon's Roar!” He attacked with a simpler dragon roar as he watched the head of the beast get destroyed. 'Got it!' His eyes widened, when he saw the long stream of magma split itself into two and form two more beasts. “You got to be kidding me!”

“Magma Form: Hydra!” Magnus shouted.

“Huh? Where are you!?” Natsu yelled back looking around for his opponent.

“Like I would tell you!” He yelled back and Natsu couldn't say anything as the two new monster heads charged at him.

“Shit!” Natsu turned on his flames and flew away. “Damn it...where the hell is he?”

When Elfman saw his sister begin to fall, he rushed as fast as he could toward her. However, he knew no matter how fast he ran, he wouldn't be able to save her. However, he still tried, but before he could get any closer, Gras stood up and then slammed into Elfman's back. “Gah!” He yelled in pain as he fell face first.

“What!? That kid is still alive!?” Gray shouted in shock.

“Damn it...” Elfman groaned as he pushed himself up. 'What the hell is the matter with me? I couldn't save Nee-chan! I can't even beat this kid! Why am I so weak!?' He growled in frustration.

“Wraaahhhh!” The kid roared and started running toward Elfman again like a rabid wolf.

Elfman saw him coming toward him and used all his strength to get up, but Gras punched him before he could defend himself. He spat out more blood and pushed back further. Elfman fell to one knee as he started breathing heavily. Gras, however wasn't going to wait for him and charged again. “Ice Make...”

“Don't!” Elfman yelled at Gray. Gray made a noise in surprise. He looked at Elfman and saw the determination in his eyes. He put his arms down.

“Wraaaahhh!” Gras growled and jumped toward Elfman. Elfman clenched his fist and threw a punch. Gras did the same and their fists connected. A small, but strong gust of wind exploded at the contact as Elfman's feet were being dug into the ground. They then pulled their fists back before punching each other with their other fists. The same thing happened as they continued to punch each others fists.

“Damn it!” Elfman tried landing a hook, but Gras ducked and then upper cut Elfman. He groaned in pain and was lifted off his feet. However, he wasn't going to let the kid take advantage and crossed his arms in front of him as Gras punched his arms. Elfman groaned from the strong attack, but pushed Gras away from. Gras landed on all fours and growled at Elfman. “You brat...”

“Wraaah!” He roared.

“What the hell are we watching?” Gray asked in disbelief.

“Two beasts fighting one another...Juvia is amazed.”

“Damn you! I won't lose!” Elfman charged and raised his arm. He went to slam his fist straight down on his head, but Gras jumped up, making Elfman stop his punch before it hit the ground and then looked up. He watched as Gras tried to slam his own small fist down at Elfman's head. Elfman moved slightly to the side and then grabbed his his wrist. He then lifted him up and slammed him down like a rag doll. He didn't stop however, and then lifted him up again and slammed him down again. He heard him let out another growl. “Come on! What the hell is wrong with you!?” He yelled and slammed him down again. He tried doing it again, but as soon as he did, Gras spit in his face. Elfman released him and Gras dropped to the ground before slamming his head into his gut. “Gah!” He spat out blood from the force of the attack.

“Wraaah!” Gras dropped to the ground and connected with another uppercut.

“Elfman!!” Gray shouted and went to get into position.

“Don't do it!” Elfman yelled. Gray once again stopped and looked at Elfman. He gritted his teeth in anger before lowering his hands.

“Gray-sama...” Juvia frowned.

Elfman panted as he looked down at the growling kid. He saw blood running down his temple. He could taste his own blood at the end corner of his mouth. He wiped it away. 'I can't let Gray help me...I have to get stronger...if I can't even beat this kid...what chance do I have to protect Nee-chan if anything like this happened to her again...I have to get stronger...for Nee-chan...and for myself...the guild...and...for Lisanna!' He then once again charged at Gras. Gras did as well and ran toward Elfman like a rabid wolf. He jumped up and punched Elfman in the face. Elfman stood his ground and carried his momentum to punch him back as well. The two beasts began to throw fist after fist at each other. Gray and Juvia looked on in both disbelief and amazement.

“Take this!” He clenched his fist as tightly as he could and punched Gras a shard as he could with what strength he had left. Gras crashed into the ground and skidded some feet away from Elfman before rolling to a stop. Elfman took deep breaths as he looked at Gras. His eyes widened when he saw him start to move again.

“You got to be kidding me...” Gray said in disbelief. Elfman stared at the boy as he struggled to get up. He then started walking over to him. “Elfman?” Gray wondered what he was going to do. Elfman looked down at him as Gras grabbed his leg to help get himself up. Without warning, he bit Elfman in the leg. He winced in pain, but didn't do anything. He then lowered himself and grabbed Gras by the back of his shirt and raised him. He looked at him as Gras tried to claw at him. Elfman could tell that he was no longer conscious and was only fighting on instinct.

“I'm sorry...” Elfman began. “We hurt your friend and because of that...you became like this. I know that feeling very well.” He said as Gray frowned at him. “It's unfortunate that we had to meet like this because I think I could have helped you in some way. But you are a man, right!? So be a man because you are a man!” Gray sweat dropped.

“He's just a kid...”

“That doesn't matter!” He yelled back. “He is still a ma-” Elfman winced in pain as Gras managed to grab onto his arm and bite down on it. “Stop biting me!” He shouted and slammed him down to the ground again. However, not even that was enough to knock the rampaging Gras out. He continued to bite his arm, but there was no effort put into it. Seeing as how talking wasn't going to do anything, Elfman decided on the only thing he could think of. He punched Gras one more time.

“Oi...” Gray whispered.

When Elfman saw that he didn't move, he sighed in relief. He then remembered his sister and went over to the cliff, hoping that she was safe. When he got over to the ledge, he looked down and his eyes widened as he saw Natsu flying around while being chased by what looked like a monster made out of the lava in the volcano. “W-What is that?” He wondered, but forgot about it as he looked for his sister. He finally was able to see her at the ledge just below where they were, looking down at Natsu's fight. He sighed in relief at seeing his sister was safe and sound.

“Umm...Elfman....we have a problem...” Gray told him.

“Huh? What is it?” He turned around and his eyes widened when he saw the big black bird that Natsu took out, slowly rise. The Barukan shook it's head as he glared down to see what was happening. He then noticed Gras. Lowering his head, he pushed Gras softly with it's beak. He didn't move. He tried again, but he still didn't move. He then lifted his head and let out a mighty roar.

“Ahh! So loud!” Gray shouted, covering his ears as did Elfman, Juvia and the others.

“Oh boy...that bird woke up...” Kranos said a bit annoyed.

The Barukan closed it's beak and then slammed it down at Juvia and Gray, who managed to avoid it, but were pushed away from each other. “This is bad...” Gray gritted his teeth as the Barukan raised it's head. “If that bird keeps doing that we'll all be fallen into the volcano.” Gray gritted his teeth.

“I'll handle it...” Elfman told him and transformed once again into his full beast mode. The Barukan then slammed it's beak down at Elfman. Elfman grabbed a hold of the bird's beak to stop it from smashing it against the ground, but the force caused Elfman's feet to push itself down into the ground. “Damn it...” Elfman groaned as the Barukan pushed down on him. “Gray!”

“Right!” Gray got into position. “Ice Make: Lance!” He shouted and shot lances at the Barukan. The Barukan noticed the attack and raised it's wing to block the lances. “What...it didn't do anything!” Gray shouted in disbelief as he saw no harm done to the large bird.

“Crap...” Elfman cursed as he felt himself get lifted off the ground.

“Elfman!” Gray shouted as he watched his comrade get tossed into the air. Elfman groaned and looked up. His eyes widened when he saw the Barukan appear above him. He put his arms up to defend himself when he saw the beak headed toward him.

“Water dome!” A large dome of water appeared around Elfman as the Barukan's attack hit the water dome, bouncing Elfman down to the ground. Once he made contact with the ground, the water dome was released, leaving a large pile of water around him.

“Nice one, Juvia!” Gray complimented her.

“Anything for you, Gray-sama!” She exclaimed, hearts as eyes. However, she stopped when a large shadow surrounded her from behind.

“Watch out!” Gray ran as fast as he could toward her. Juvia turned her head and her eyes widened when she saw the Barukan begin to raise its wing. He then swung it down at her. She closed her eyes, awaiting the impact. “Ice Make: Shield!” She heard Gray shout and turned around to see a large shield of ice appear behind her. The shield was strong enough to stop the Barukan's attack. “Ice Make: Hammer!” He created a large hammer and then jumped up. He swung as hard as he could at the beak of the bird. The blow made the Barukan's neck turn the other way. He then moved his hands so that he could slam the hammer straight down on the beak. The hammer shattered at contact and because of it, lost the full power behind the attack. The Barukan glared at Gray who was getting ready to use another spell. “Ice Make: Ice Cannon!” He created a large cannon and then shot a large cannonball of ice at the Barukan.

“Gray-sama!” Juvia blushed at the sight of her beloved fighting against the monster bird. The blast knocked the Barukan back. Gray then noticed that none of his attacks were working effectively against the feathers.

'Damn it...what the hell?' Gray cursed. 'How the hell can I beat a monster bird if none of my attacks are working at all!' He didn't even know Natsu was able to knock the bird out. He knew Natsu got very strong after two years, but was there really a difference in strength between himself and Natsu. He clenched his ice cannon tightly. It pissed him off. 'Come on....think...attacking his feathers won't do anything...so what the hell can I do?' He looked at the bird and his eyes widened as he saw his beak descending down at him. Gray jumped away as the Barukan's beak smashed into the ground.

“I have to help Gray-sama somehow...” Juvia muttered. “I know...” She then raised her arm and created multiple blade like bullets. “Water Slicer!” She launched the bullets at the Barukan.

“You...” Gray muttered at her and then looked back at the Barukan. He then noticed something. Whether it was because of Juvia's attacks or not, there was a crack in the metal plate that covered the Barukan's eyes and nose and saw it flinch when some of Juvia's attacks hit the crack. 'I see...so that's where it's weakness...' Gray set himself and his cannon and then aimed it at the crack. He then fired. “Take this!” He shouted and was pushed back by the recoil as the cannonball struck the crack. The Barukan raised it's head and roared in pain. The small crack became wider. “Found it's weakness!” He said and dropped his ice cannon. He then charged at the bird.

“Wraaahhh!” The Barukan roared and saw Gray running toward. He glared at him before slamming his beak down at him. Gray jumped and started climbing his neck as the beak smashed into the ground again. Gray got as high as he could and then did a back flip before getting into his ice make position.

“Ice Make: Sword!” He created a sword in his hand and then pointed it straight down. He then descended down toward the Barukan as it began to raise it's head. “Take this!” He stabbed his sword straight down on the crack on the metal plate. The sword impaled the Barukan. The crack became bigger before parts of it shattered.

“Wraaahhhh!” He cried in pain and lifted his head up as Gray did his best to hold on to the bird. However, he couldn't and he started falling back down to the ground. He prepared to create a slide so that he could land safely back on the ground. However, the Barukan had other ideas as it's anger made him quickly turn it's head and glare at Gray.

“Shi-” He couldn't finish as the Barukan slammed it's beak right into his chest.

“Gray-sama!” Juvia screamed in horror as her beloved crashed straight down at the ground, spitting out blood in the process. He started coughing up blood as he felt his entire abdomen hurt like hell.

“Damn it...it fucking hurts...” He winced and looked up to see the Barukan preparing to attack him with his beak again. 'Damn it...got to get away...'

“I won't let you hurt Gray-sama!” Juvia yelled as her anger exploded at the thought of her beloved getting killed. “Sierra!” She let her anger take over as she transformed herself into water and launched herself at the Barukan.

“W-Wait...Juvia...” He tried to call out to her, but he couldn't raise his voice because of his pain. Juvia slammed collided with the Barukan's beak and was pushed away as if he was suddenly punched.

“Aaaaahhh!” She screamed and hit the Barukan again, this time on the other side. Gray was amazed at how much damage she was probably dealing to the bird after he managed to crack open a part of the metal plate. The Barukan tried to follow her, but she was moving too quickly for him to follow. He was attack once again and stumbled a bit. Juvia went in for the kill as she was prepared to deliver a final blow to the Barukan, but using it's instinct, managed to know where she was going to attack and then slammed it's wing. Sending Juvia crashing down to the ground.

“Juvia!” Gray shouted as he watched her get hit by the Barukan. 'Damn it...why can't I...protect any of my friends!' He clenched his fists tightly. He then ignored the pain and started getting up. 'I can't be this weak...I have to protect them...damn it!' He slowly started standing up. “Waaaaahhhhh!” He screamed as he gave one final burst of strength and stood up. He then glared at the Barukan. “Alright you bird brain...” He panted, spitting out some blood in his mouth. “I'm going to kick your fucking ass!” He declared and then got into position. “Ice Make...King Kong!” He slammed his fist down as a large gorilla made out of ice appeared in front of him. The Barukan glared at the new creature in front of him and the large gorilla glared right back.

“Wraaaaahhhhh!!!” The gorilla let out its loud war call and them smashed it's paws against its chest. Gray dropped to a knee as he felt himself using almost all of his magic.

'Damn it...I can't hold on for long...I have to beat this bird now!' At the thought, the gorilla charged at the bird. The Barukan tried slamming his wing against the gorilla, but he caught it with its hands and then used it's free hand to punch the Barukan in the gut. The Barukan let out a piercing scream at the contact. The bird backed away, but the gorilla didn't let it get too far or fly away. The gorilla then wrapped it's arms around the gorilla. “Ahhhhhh!” Gray screamed releasing every ounce of magic he had left and watched as the gorilla jump into the air. Gray waited patiently as the gorilla slammed the Barukan's head into the ground at the ground level of the volcano, making sure they didn't crash anywhere near the ground he and the others stood on. As soon as the attack finished, the gorilla shattered and all that was left was an unconscious black bird laying out on the ground. “I did it...” Gray laughed and let out a big sigh of relief. He then looked over at Juvia and started crawling toward her. “Oi Juvia...” He called out to her. He slightly pushed her and heard her groan, telling him that she was okay. He sighed once more. 'Damn...this shouldn't have happened...I need to get stronger...I need to get stronger...' He clenched his fists before looking up at the sky.

Erza and Kranos collided with their swords before pushing each other away. “You are pretty skilled with a sword.” Erza stated.

“Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not as good as you.” He told her. “The rumors about you are frighteningly true.”

“Flattering me won't make me go easy on you.” She told him.

“Hahaha! Not expecting you to!” He yelled and swung his sword down as hard as he could as Erza blocked it. They got themselves into another round of strikes, each one blocked by each others swords. They then pushed one another away and the two glared at each other. “Let me ask you something. What is it about you mages at Fairy Tail?”

“What about us?”

“I always hear stuff about how strong you all are, that you cause destruction where ever you go and always get complaints from the Magic Council. Yet, I wonder what exactly is so special about you all?”

“It's because we consider ourselves family. We protect each other and fight for each other. As long as we have that, it doesn't matter what obstacles we have to go through.” Erza answered.

“Family...huh?” He chuckled. He then suddenly grabbed his head and winced in pain. Erza made a noise in surprise as he looked like he was in tremendous pain. He then calmed down and he let out a sigh. “Damn...I just saw something unpleasant.” He said.

“You saw something unpleasant?”

“Occasionally I get visions of the future that might happen some time from now. In fact...this vision involved you and some guy with blue hair.” Erza's eyes widened in shock.

“You can't mean...”

“He had like this tattoo or something on his face...kind of had a creepy look on his face when he was talking to you.” He continued.

'He's talking about Jellal...does that mean that I'm going to see Jellal?' She then stared at him and pointed her sword. “Tell me! These visions you get...how long until they come true!”

“Hmm...like I said...I don't know...” He told her. “Well...doesn't matter...” He pointed his sword at her. “Shall we continue?”

“Fine...” She replied and decided to requip into another armor. “Armadura Armor.”

“Pink...you really are girl...”

“What is that supposed to mean!?” She yelled, being offended.

“Nothing...you just seem to be more tom boyish than a princess.” He told her.

“You really know how to piss me off, don't you?” She said, a vein twitching in annoyance.

“Oooh...scary...so is that one of your strongest armors?” He asked.

“Why don't you tell me!?” She shouted and charged at him. He easily dodged her attack her first swing with the sword on her right and then dodged the other as well. He swung his sword at her and she quickly blocked his attack.

“This really isn't getting us anywhere.” He told her.

“Well see about that...” She smirked and pushed him back. She quickly went after him. She then went on the rapid offensive as she swung her swords at him one after the other, not letting Kranos get any chance to retaliate. She then managed to get one strong strike on his sword that caused it to slip out of his hand and Erza took advantage and went as quickly as she could to deliver a big blow. He jumped back just in time to avoid her blow.

“Wow...that was clos-” He didn't get to finish as Erza continued her relentless attack. He still was able to dodge everyone of her attacks because of his ability to see seconds into the future. “You know...” He said as he dodged. “You won't get anywhere with this...you'll only tire yourself out.”

“Oh yeah!” She smirked and continued to attack him. “I'm pretty sure you would too.”

“Hahaha!” He laughed and enjoyed himself, dodging again. When he saw an opening, he clenched his fists and went in for a punch, but Erza purposely created that opening. Unfortunately, anything she tried to surprise Kranos wouldn't work because of his ability to see into the future. He saw what she tried to do and kept his eye on the sword he saw her going to use to attack him. Erza noticed this and started motioning the sword in her right arm toward him just like he knew she was going to do. However, as she saw him begin to move to avoid the sword, she stopped her arm and then swung the sword in her left hand. His eyes widened and couldn't dodge quickly enough as he felt the sword slash against his waist. He groaned in pain as blood gushed out of the new cut. “Damn it...” He cursed and jumped away from her.

He dropped to a knee and placed his arms across the cut. “I noticed your weakness.” Erza told him and he looked at her. “You can see into the future, but...when you go to react to the vision...you lose the ability to see into the future.” Erza told him. “I first noticed it back when Juvia managed to grab you with her magic...the reason you got caught wasn't because you let her, but because you were focusing on the vision of me probably dealing a strike to you. It also explains why you didn't see Natsu appearing. You were focused on a possible vision of Mira and that guy getting married and then stopped seeing the future because you didn't expect Natsu to appear.”

“Hehehe....you Fairy Tail mages really are something...” He laughed and then stood up. “That's correct...I'm amazed you were able to figure it out...then again...I guess it's my fault for leaving all those hints...yeah it's true...once I see a vision...I lose the ability to see into the future because I focus on changing the future.” He told her. “However, don't think for a second that just because you now know that...you could beat me.”

“We'll see about that.” She smirked and got into her fighting stance.

“I guess I got to go with using this...” He reached into his pocket and took out a small crystal. He then ate it.

“W-What...?” Erza raised her eyebrows in confusion.

“Aaaahhh...” He sighed extensively. Erza's eyes widened as crystals began forming on his back. It almost looked like the crystals were being pierced through his chest and out his back, but there was no crystal in his abdomen. His skin was also turning a shade of light blue. “Ah man...I hate turning into this...” He told her. He raised his head and looked at her with his now light blue colored eyes.

“W-What is this?” She asked.

“It's my Crystalline Fusion.” He told her. “It's a type of magic that allows me to fuse with a crystal.” He told her and clenched his fist as it began changing into the shape of a crystal. “Crystalline Sword.” He then charged. Erza's eyes widened at how fast he suddenly became as he stabbed her defense. She groaned as the strength pushed her away. “The only thing that sucks about this for my opponents is that it cancels my ability to see the future and in return gives me more power.” He told her. He showed it again as he stabbed her again. Erza was more prepared now and crossed her swords in front of her to block it. However, what she wasn't expecting was the sudden crystal that appeared from his chest. She screamed in pain as the crystal stabbed her in her armor plate, cracking it a bit, but not breaking it. The force of the crystal pushed her back and slammed her to the ground. She rolled to a stop

“Damn...” She cursed, placing a hand to the spot the crystal stabbed her. She picked up her swords and stood up, preparing to go back into attack mode. She was the first to make a move and she swung her swords. Kranos raised his crystal arm up to block her swords. He then transformed his other arm into a crystal and went to stab her armor once more. He connected and the crack in her armor grew, but still didn't break it. “Ah!” She screamed, feeling the force behind the blow. She rose to the air and Kranos jumped and slammed his arm down at her back, slamming her face first into the ground. He then placed his crystal arms together and lowered himself down at her. She turned her head slightly and saw what he tried to do and rolled out of the way. He pierced the crystals into the ground.

Erza quickly got back on her feet and then charged at the stuck Kranos as fast as she could. Suddenly, a crystal came out from his side, trying to stab her, but she was prepared and used her sword to change her direction, make a spin and slash at the crystals on his back. “Aaah!” He yelled in pain as Erza was able to shatter some of the crystals with her sword. She went in for another attack, but at that time, Kranos was able to get the crystals out of the ground and block her attack with his crystal arm. “You bitch!” He roared and spun in the opposite direction to slam his other crystal arm down at her. She was slammed down to the ground as Kranos stood above her, getting ready to pierce straight through her armor.

Erza flipped her swords and then stabbed the ground in front of her before using them to flip herself up and do a back flip. She got back on her feet turned around, grabbed her swords and swung both of them at Kranos. He raised his free crystallized arm and blocked her swords. He pulled his other crystallized arm out of the ground and went to stab her again. He connected and the force made parts of her armor shatter. Erza spat out some saliva as she felt the force of the attack. Kranos didn't stop there as he created several more crystals to appear on his right arm and stabbed her with that. Luckily for Erza, he hit a part of her armor that was still in tact so the smaller crystals didn't pierce her, but it did shatter more of her armor.

“Gah! She rolled on the ground before coming to a skidding stop. She started breathing heavily as she felt exhausted. 'Damn...I can't drag this fight on much longer...' She thought and then looked down at her armor. 'If I keep on fighting him like this...my armor will be completely gone...' She clenched her swords tightly and stood up. 'I have to end this with one final attack...'

“I want to thank you...” Erza made a noise in surprise.

“Why?”

“Because...I haven't had a good fight like this in a long time...I'm really enjoying myself...however...I won't let you win!” He roared before spatting out blood.

“You...” Her eyes widened in shock.

“Damn...I don't have much time left...” He spoke. He then chuckled. “Crap...I knew being in this form for long would be dangerous for me...” He told her. He stood up and then looked at the sky. “Man...I guess this really would be the last time I'll get to see the sky like this...”

“W-What? What are you talking about as if you...wait...” He chuckled.

“Yeah...transforming into this crystal is poisonous...I've been using these crystals every time I met a strong opponent who figured out the secret to my predictions...” He coughed up some more blood. “...this is probably the 20^th battle I've been in where I had to use this...you should feel honored...however...I used it far too much and now I'm paying the price...I guess if I'm going to die today...I might as well go out with a win...” He smirked.

“No...I can't...”

“Hey now...don't get so soft on me...I never planned on getting out of this alive...Magnus...the only reason why I followed him was because he promised me that I would find someone that would entertain me...in fact...I've been planning to die before I even met him...seeing the future...is nothing but a curse...a curse that I want to get rid...you think it wouldn't be, but I'm sick and tired of seeing the future...I've been alone for a long time...my family got rid of me because of my curse...I had no friends...seeing you who treasure each other like family and friends made me wonder what that felt like...I guess I won't have the chance to find out...” He spat out blood again. “So...I don't need you to feel sorry for me...we will end this with our final blows...so come at me!”

Erza frowned at him, but complied to his request. Both her swords began to glow a bright green color as Kranos' crystallized arms began glowing as well. They both charged. Erza knew what her attack can do, which was destroy the ground she stood on, so she decrease the amount of magic she was putting into it so that she wouldn't cause a lot of damage. “Aaaaaahhhh!”

“Aaaaahhh!” Kranos yelled as they struck with their attacks, each ending up on the other side from where they were came from. They waited patiently before blood spurt out of Kranos' body signaling Erza's win. Kranos dropped to his knees as his body returned to normal and then fell back to look up at the sky. “Looks like...this is my loss...” He smirked. Erza frowned before requipping back into her Heart Kreuz armor. She turned around and walked over to Kranos. “What's with that look on your face?” He chuckled.

“Sorry...” She apologized.

“I said don't get soft on me now...hehehe...” He choked. There was a moment of silence before he told her something that shocked her. “That man...his name is Jellal Fernandes...right?”

“How do you...?”

“He was the last person I fought using the crystal before joining Magnus...” He told her. “That man...is as crazy as anyone can get...”

“Tell me...do you know where I can find him?”

“I recommend you to not try and find him...”

“Why?”

“That man...something is not right with him...he is too dangerous...I don't know what he is planning, but I know it's probably not good...however...I'm sure you will still try and find him despite what I say...the last time I fought him...was on an island not too far from this tower shaped building on another island...he heard about my future seeing ability and wanted me to join him...but...I refused...something about him made me uneasy...however, he didn't take no for an answer so we fought and I lost miserably...but...I still stick by my decision...”

“I see...”

“I'm sure you and Jellal probably have some sort of relationship together and no matter what I say will change your mind on finding him...” Erza didn't say anything and stared at the ground. “Well...I guess that's all I have to say...”

“Can you...see the future still?”

“Yeah...”

“What do you see?” He smirked.

“A happy ending...” He told her.

“A happy...” She wanted to ask, but then saw that he was no longer breathing and had his eyes closed. She frowned before turning away and walking back over to her nakama. 'Thanks...for a good fight too...'

“Are you guys okay?” Lucy asked as Elfman rubbed the back of his neck and Gray sat with his legs and arms crossed.

“Never better...” Elfman smirked.

“I'm fine...” Gray replied.

“Really?” Happy asked and gave Gray a pat on the back. He jumped at the pain.

“You damn cat...” Gray glared at Happy.

“Ah! Gray is scary!” Happy flew away to hide behind Lucy who sweat dropped.

“What about Juvia?” Gray looked at her and then turned his head to look at Juvia.

“She's fine...” He sweat dropped as they saw her blushing and muttering 'Gray-sama'.

“Yeah...I guess so...” Lucy chuckled.

“Hey it's Erza!” Levy pointed toward the scarlet knight as she ran toward them.

“Is everyone alright?” She asked as they all nodded their heads. She let out a sigh of relief. “That's good...what about Mira?”

“She's okay...Natsu must have saved her and placed up on the ledge just below us.” Elfman told them. “We should go get her before anything bad happens to her again.”

“Yeah...” Erza nodded her head in agreement.

Suddenly, streams of magma erupted from the crater and everyone turned their heads in shock at what they saw. The streams of magma looked like monsters just rose out from the volcano. “W-What is that!?” Lucy screamed.

“They look like dragons!” Happy shouted.

“Wraaaaah!” They heard screaming as Natsu made his appearance as he was chased by the streams of lava.

“It's Natsu!” They all screamed as they saw him dodging each stream of magma monsters.

“Damn it! Where are you!?” Natsu shouted looking for Magnus while dodging his attack. He didn't hear a response and avoided getting eaten by another one of the magma hydras. No matter what he tried, nothing worked. In fact, every time he destroyed one, two more came after him and it just kept on going. He eventually stopped attacking them, but he had to find a way to defeat them. His first thought was kicking the guy's ass, but he couldn't find him. 'Damn it...none of my attacks are working...what the hell can I do!?'

“You can keep running all you want, Salamander!” He heard Magnus' voice.

“Where the fuck are you, you bastard!?” Natsu yelled.

“Hahahahaha!” His laugh echoed and it just made Natsu even more pissed.

“Damn you...” He growled in anger. He flew around, avoiding the magma hydras, trying to think of a way to defeat them when he noticed his friends. He saw that they were all safe, which made him relieved, but he couldn't get them involved because he knew they would stand a chance if they got caught by the magma. When he saw Gray, he suddenly remembered something the man who trained him said.

Flashback

“Different flames?” Natsu asked, tilting his head to the side.

“Yeah...” He nodded his head as the three sat around a campfire.

“Oh...you mean like fire that can smell really bad and...”

“No...not that kind...” He sweat dropped.

“Huh? There are flames that stink?” Happy exclaimed in shock.

“Uhh...yeah...” Natsu chuckled nervously. He then looked back at the man. “Then what do you mean?”

“For example...the Flame of Rebuke...”

“The Flame of Rebuke?”

“Yes...that is one of the Six Flames of Lux Aeterna.” (Eternal Light)

“Six Flames...of Lux Aeterna?”

“Yes...you currently know three of the six...the first is your normal red flames that you learned from Igneel...the second is the Flame of Rebuke...the third is the Elemental Flame, such as your Lightning Dragon Flame...there are three others that I'm hoping you would one day master...only a few have even heard of them...”

“So, how do I master these three other flames?”

“That's something only the mage can know.”

“You just don't want to tell me!”

“Hey, you won't learn if you don't do it yourself. However, I will give you a hint...the Flame of Rebuke is a special type of flame that can unlock the other three you are missing...” There was silence. “That's your hint.”

“Are you kidding me!?” Natsu yelled at him.

“Don't yell! You want to wake up the monsters who live int his forest! I prefer to sleep nice and peacefully for once!” He yelled back.

“But you're shouting now...” Happy sweat dropped.

“Come on! Give me something else than that!”

“Fine! I'll give you the names of the other three flames, but you have to learn how to unlock them yourself.”

“At least that's better than the hint you gave me.”

“Shut up! Anyway...the fourth flame is the Blue Flame.”

“Blue flame?”

“Yes...normally fire is hot...but the Blue Flame is a special flame that is not hot, but very, very cold.”

“A flame that is not hot, but cold? Is that even possible?”

“Yes...it's a special type of flame that instead of burning your opponent...you can freeze them at a very cold temperature...possibly at a temperature that is way below freezing depending on how much magic the mage possesses. It's quite helpful if your fighting someone with a hotter flame than yours.”

“I see...the Blue Flame...”

End of Flashback

Natsu continued to stare at Gray as he dodged another attack. 'The Flame of Rebuke is the key to unlocking the other three flames...I wonder...' Natsu looked up to see another hydra aiming to eat him, but he spun around and then descended down toward the others. “Gray!”

“Huh?” Gray wondered what Natsu wanted from him. He then noticed behind Natsu were several hydras chasing after him. He sweat dropped. “Don't come at us with those things chasing after you!” He shouted.

“Freeze my hands!” He yelled suddenly.

“Huh? You want me to do what now?” Gray cocked his eyebrow in confusion.

“Freeze my hands like what Lyon tried to do!”

“What? What can that possibly do to help you, you idiot!”

“Just do it!” Natsu yelled.

“Fine! But don't blame if you lose!” Gray yelled back and got into to his position. “Ice Make: Freeze!” He pointed his hands toward Natsu as he stuck his arms out and watched as ice began to form around it. Once his hands were completely frozen with two large ice spheres, he then stopped and used his flames on his feet to fly up, directing the attention of the hydras toward him and they followed.

“What is he planning on doing?” Lucy asked.

“I don't know, but don't blame me if he loses.” Gray grumbled.

'Alright...I hope this works!' He hoped and then closed his eyes while continuing to fly upward. 'Flame of Rebuke.' He tried to ignite his flames with the Flame of Rebuke. It didn't work. 'Come on...' He tried again, but it still didn't work. 'Damn it...don't tell me I was wrong!' He gritted his teeth in anger. “Damn it!” He yelled. “Flame of Rebu-” The others watched in horror as one of the hydras swallowed Natsu.

“Natsu!”

Mirajane couldn't believe at what she saw. Natsu was eaten by the monster and no doubtingly thought his body started to melt due to the magma. She fell to her knees and tears started threatening to fall. 'No...Natsu...' She clenched his scarf tightly.

“Hahahaha! Is that all you got, Salamander! I am disappointed in you! Now there is no one that can stop me from marrying Mira!” His laughter echoed.

“Hey look!” Levy shouted. Everyone looked up and their eyes widened as the hydra that swallowed Natsu started freezing.

“What!?” Magnus shouted.

“The magma...it's freezing...but how?” Lucy asked. Suddenly the hydra shattered and a figure with blue flames appeared.

“So...this is the blue flame...” Natsu spoke as he looked down at his hands that were ignited by the blue colored flame. “It feels cold...” He smirked and then looked down at the many hydras that were left. “Yosh!” He slammed his fists together as the blue flames grew. “Let's do this!” He then charged downward toward the hydras who charged towards Natsu. “Blue Flame Dragon's Roar!” He puffed his cheeks and blew out the blue flame out of his mouth toward the hydras. Everyone watched in awe as all the hydras that were hit by the blue flame started to freeze up. Natsu didn't stop his attack until all hydras were frozen. 'If I'm correct...then he should be...' He looked at each hydra before one of the shattered, revealing Magnus. 'Bingo!' He smirked and then thrust downward toward him. “You bastard!” Magnus looked up to see Natsu going toward him.

“I don't know what you did...but didn't you forget about what happened the last time you tried punching me!” Magnus chuckled. Natsu didn't care and then punched Magnus in his face, sending him crashing into the wall of the crater. “I-Impossible...so cold...” Magnus muttered in shock as he felt blood fall from the corner of his mouth. He touched the area that Natsu punched him and felt ice on it. He tried to melt it away with his magma...but he just couldn't. “W-What the hell kind of magic is this?”

“Sorry...were you saying something?” He smirked.

“You bastard...” He glared at Natsu. Magnus then jumped and launched streams of Magma at Natsu. He increased his blue flames and then punched the stream of magma as it began freezing. Magnus eye's widened in shock. He quickly let go so that he didn't freeze along with the magma. He started falling down toward the lava and fell in. Natsu saw him and wondered what he was up to. Suddenly, he rose back up and landed on the molten rock, opposite of where Natsu stood. “Just what the hell are you?”

“Me? I'm a member of Fairy Tail! And I'm going to kick your ass for hurting my friends!” He yelled in response.

“Like hell I'll let you win! I've waited too long for me to lose here!” He yelled back. “Magma...” He roared as his entire body transformed into magma. “...Meteor!” He created a large ball of magma above him. Natsu stared at the large ball of magma and ignited his blue flames once again. “Take this!” He roared and threw the large ball of magma at Natsu. Natsu waited until the ball got close to him before he punched the ball of magma with both of his fists. The ball of magma started to freeze up just like the hydras, but he stopped freezing the ball until half of it was frozen. He then ignited his feet to thrust upward. Magnus watched him fly up with the half frozen ball of magma. “What the hell are you doing!?”

“Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!” Natsu roared a she continued to fly upward. He looked down to see that he was far enough and then stopped. “You can have it back!” Natsu shouted and then tossed the ball down at him.

“Exactly what would that do you idiot!” He yelled as he rose upward toward the ball with his magma and then placed his hands on the ball, his hands fusing with the ball. “Now I can make it bigger!” He laughed.

“Hidden Blue Fire Form! Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade!” Natsu shouted as he engulfed himself in the blue fire and then charged straight through the ball and out on the other side where a shocked Magnus was now expecting him to appear in front of him. Natsu then punched Magnus as they smashed into the molten rock below. The molten rock broke in half as half of it fell into the lava. The ball of magma then collided with the molten rock as well. The others who saw this called out their nakamas name.

“Natsu!”

“Natsu...” Mirajane whispered, clutching at the scarf. She search for Natsu hoping he was okay. 'Please be okay...' Suddenly, she heard a sound coming to her right and looked over to see Natsu climbing up onto the ledge, his pants slightly melted off because of the magma he made contact with. He got up on the ledge and then rolled onto his back, letting out a large sigh.

“Damn...that was close...” He laughed at how close he was to falling into the magma, but luckily was able to escape thanks to his blue flames creating a platform him to land on and then escaping before the ball of magma killed him.

“Natsu...” He heard a voice and lifted his head to see Mira standing just not far from him.

“Ah! Mira! Looks like you're okay! That's good!” He grinned and then sat up. He turned his head and his eyes widened as he saw fall to her knees and start crying. “Huh? What is it? W-Why are you crying?” He panicked as he didn't understand the reason behind her tears.

“I'm happy...” He made a noise in surprise.

“What...?”

“I'm so happy that you kept your promise!” She said while clutching the scarf he gave her. Natsu smiled at her and then walked over to her. He knelt down and his smile turned to a grin.

“Hey! I always keep my promises, you should know that!” He told her and she looked at him with a big smile as a couple of tears fell.

“Natsu...” She whispered. Natsu wasn't sure why, but it suddenly became silent. His eyes widened as Mirajane put her hand on his cheek and then kissed him. He was absolutely stunned by the sudden kiss. He could feel how soft her lips were and if I had a choice to pick on who was the better kisser between her and Cana, he had to say Mirajane's kiss was a lot better. Not that he didn't like Cana's kiss, but there just something with Mirajane's kiss that was better. She finally pulled away and she looked at me with a reddened face and a big smile on her face.

“Mira...I...” She then shook her head.

“It's okay Natsu...I'm sorry for suddenly kissing you like that...I just couldn't help myself...” She told him.

“W-What...?”

“Natsu...I...I...” She was prepared tot ell him that she loved him. The feeling in her chest that she felt over the guilt of loving the same man her younger sister did disappeared as if it never was there. She knew at the moment he saved her from being married and entrusted his scarf to her that she was in love with Natsu. To think that the beautiful Mirajane Strauss, who is an idol in the eyes of those who read Wizard Weekly, would fall in love with a rowdy and destructive person like Natsu. She couldn't help it. She was in love with him and she was prepared tot ell him that. “...I lo-” She stopped when the ledge they knelt on started shaking.

“W-What the...?” Natsu wondered why it was shaking. “...damn...is he still conscious?” He asked. There was a sudden cracking noise heard before the lava in the volcano exploded in the air. Natsu quickly wrapped his arms around Mirajane as he felt some of the magma land on his back. He hissed in pain.

“Natsu!” She cried.

“Don't worry...” He told and cracked a grin for her. “I'm fine...let's head up tot he others and get out of here!” He placed his hands on her back and below her knees before he used his flames to thrust upward toward the others.

“What the hell is going!?” Elfman yelled as he saw the volcano explode.

“Could it be that guy's doing?” Gray asked.

“I don't know...” Erza responded. “However...if it is or isn't...we have to get out of here!” They all nodded.

“Wait! What about Natsu and Nee-chan!?” Elfman shouted and was ready to run toward the ledge. However he didn't get far as the magma blasted parts of the ground in front of him. “Shit...” He shielded himself and then backed away. “Nee-chan! Natsu!” He called out.

“They'll be fine Elfman! Natsu won't die and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let anything happen to Mira!” Erza told him. “We got to get out of here!” He clenched his fists, but nodded and he turned around to escape with the others. Erza looked in the direction that Kranos' body lay and watched as the ground crumbled under him and he fell into the volcano. She frowned and closed her eyes before turning around and following the others. Gray picked up Juvia into his arms and Elfman did the same with Gras. Lucy and Levy went over to rescue Feena from the hole she was in, but saw that she was no longer there. They looked around for her, but didn't find her and then decided to follow the others as they ran down the stairs Mirajane took.

The volcano erupted another shot of lava again as Natsu flew up toward where the others were, but when they got there, he saw that they were no longer there. “Huh? Where are they?” Natsu asked as he heard the volcano erupt again.

“Maybe they left...” Mirajane told him as she had her arms wrapped around his neck.

“You're probably right...” He agreed. “Come on, let's go too.” They nodded and he started running toward the stairs. They started climbing down the stairs, but didn't get far as the volcano let out another eruption which started making the lava leak down the side of the volcano toward them. “This is...a volcanic eruption!” He realized as the volcano let out another explosion. He started running as fast as he could down the stairs.

Suddenly, a volcanic eruption appeared in front of them, making them halt in their tracks. “SALAMANDER!!” Both Natsu and Mira gasped in shock as Magnus appeared out of the magma.

“You again!” Natsu gritted his teeth in anger as the lava from the volcano above them melted the ground behind them, leaving only a small piece of ground around them as it began moving along with the lava, melting slowly in the process.

“I won't let you take my bride! I will kill you!” He shouted and created a large fist of magma toward him.

He tightened his hold on Mirajane and then puffed his cheeks. “Blue Flame Dragon's Roar!” He blew out his blue flame as Magnus' fist froze and most of his magma did as well. He stopped when his entire magma body was frozen except for his head. He glared at Magnus. “You should stop this...” He told him.

“I won't! She was supposed to fall in love with me!” He yelled.

“You can't make Mira force herself to love you, you dumb ass! She should fall in love with the person she truly cares for!” He yelled without knowing the fact that Mirajane fell in love with him. Mirajane looked at Natsu with a warm smile and slight blush on her cheeks.

“I can't accept that!” He yelled.

“I'm sorry...” They both made a noise in surprise as they looked at Mirajane. “I turned you down because I was unsure of what love really was...it was all my fault that you became like this. I'm sorry...I can't ask for your forgiveness...but I just want to tell you that I'm sorry...” She said and then reached one of her hands toward his face as it wasn't covered in magma. His eyes widened at her touch. “I'm so sorry...”

“Mira...” Natsu whispered her name and then smiled at her. However, this only made Magnus even angrier.

“Damn you woman! I can't accept any of this! If I can't marry you...then no one can!” He roared as he transformed his face into magma and he allowed his magma to flow around the ice. He then appeared again, this time his entire body was in magma form. “Both of you die!” He yelled and tried to cover them with his magma. Mirajane closed her eyes and pressed herself closer to Natsu as he held her tightly.

“I won't let you touch Mira!” Natsu roared as removed his hand from under Mirajane's legs and ignited it with a blue flame. “Blue Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang!” He swiped at Magnus, freezing parts of his body as he connected hard with his face, sending him crashing into the area of the volcano that wasn't covered in lava. He crashed into the wall of the volcano with a loud bang. Natsu sighed and placed his hand back under Mirajane's knees and then looked down to see most of the ground they stood on was melted away by the lava. He ignited his feet and thrust up to avoid getting his feet melted by the lava.

Mirajane opened her eyes to see that she was now in the air and then looked at Natsu. He had a look of seriousness on his face and when he felt Mirajane's eyes on him, he looked at her and then smiled. “Looks like it's all over now.” He grinned. Mirajane smiled back and nodded her head.

“Oh no! The lava is heading toward the town!” Lucy cried as she saw the direction the lava was flowing.

“This is bad...” Erza muttered and then turned to the others. “Alright, we have to go save everyone in the village. Elfman! Levy! Us three will head to the village and try to evacuate as many people as we can.” Elfman and Levy nodded their heads. “Lucy and Gray try to find a way to slow down the lava or at least find a way to redirect the flow.”

“Huh? How are we supposed to that?” Gray asked.

“I'm sure you'll figure something out. Let's go, Elfman!” He nodded his head and the two of them ran off as fast as they could toward the town.

“Great...now what do we do?” Lucy asked the remaining four.

“I don't know...my ice isn't as strong enough as Natsu's was...so I doubt I could freeze it...” He turned his head to see the unconscious Juvia behind them. “If she was awake she could probably use her water magic to do something...”

“Water...that's it!” Lucy pounded her fist into her hand. She then took out a key. “Come on! We have to get to the sea.” She told him.

“Huh? Ah wait up!” He called out, picking up Juvia and followed both Happy and Lucy.

“Hey Lucy...are you going to...” Happy asked nervously remembering the Celestial Spirit that almost drowned him. Lucy nodded and the four eventually were able to get to the sea. Lucy then clenched the key and pointed it toward the sea.

“Open the Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!” She summoned her spirit as Aquarius appeared in the water. Gray was amazed by the spirit he never saw before as she looked in their direction.

“Tch!” She responded giving them a bored look.

“We don't have time for this!” Lucy yelled back. “We need your help! Use your powers to try and stop the lava from flowing into the town.”

“You have some guts telling me what to do.” Aquarius responded angrily, glaring at them.

“W-What's with this spirit?” Gray asked, feeling a little nervous.

“She's the scariest one of them all.” Happy answered, hiding behind Gray.

“Can you please just do what I ask for once?” Lucy screamed at her.

“Don't tell me what to do!” She screamed back and started spinning around, bringing the water around her with her.

“Oi...” Gray looked with widened eyes. “Don't tell me...”

“Not this again...” Happy whined as all four of them got caught up in Aquarius' whirlpool. Aquarius screamed as she continued her attack as it headed toward the flowing lava. As soon as the water came in contact with the water, steam came out and the magma started to harden. Aquarius stopped her rampage as the four who got caught in her attack were no on the ground with their eyes swirling round and round. She then looked back to see that she destroyed some of the landscape, creating a slide that the lava that didn't get harden started flowing down and into the sea.

“Tch...I helped her out anyway...whatever...” She then turned back to Lucy. “Listen here little girl! I'm going out with my boyfriend so don't summon me for three days, you got that!” She pointed a finger at her, but Lucy couldn't hear anything she said as she was dizzy from her attack. Aquarius then returned back to the Celestial Spirit world.

“W-What just happened?” Gray asked.

“I'm so dizzy...” Happy cried.

“Sorry about her...” Lucy apologized.

“Gray-sama...”

When Erza, Levy and Elfman saw the large whirlpool of water stop the lava from flowing any closer to the town, they sighed in relief, but still made sure the town folk evacuate in case another eruption occurred. Once all the civilians were evacuated from the town and towards the port, Lucy and the others met up with the three. “Great work, you four.” Erza said, slamming Grays head into her armor.

“Gah!” He cried in pain. She then tried to do the same with Lucy, but she waved her hands in front of her.

“No thanks...I'm good...” Levy giggled next to Lucy.

Elfman continued to stare up at the volcano, trying to find any sign of Natsu and his sister. “Hey Elfman...what are you looking for?”

“Natsu and Nee-chan of course! Who do you think I'm looking for, you idi-” He stopped when he turned and saw Natsu grinning at him with his sister smiling and waving her hand at him. “When did you get here!?”

“Just a moment ago.” He said.

“Really?”

“Yep!” Mirajane replied with a smile.

“I see...” Elfman let out a big sigh. “I'm glad you're okay.”

“Hey fire breath! What the hell did you do? How were you able to freeze everything?” Gray asked.

“Oh that...” He lifted his hand and ignited it in a small blue flame. “I learned a new technique!”

“Ah...isn't that the blue flame he was talking about!?” Happy asked.

“Yep! Isn't it neat! Who knew that hint would actually be right!” He laughed.

“I don't know what they're talking...do you?” Gray asked Elfman.

“Not a clue...”

“Wow, Mira! You look so beautiful in that dress!” Lucy and Levy exclaimed as Mirajane blushed at their compliments.

“You're embarrassing me!” She shyly told them.

“No you really do, right Erza?” Lucy asked the scarlet knight. The three looked at her and saw that she was staring at the ground in front of her with a frown on her face. “Erza?” AT her name being called again, she was took away from her thoughts and turned her head to look at the three.

“Huh? I'm sorry...I'm just tired...” She told them.

“Are you sure, you're okay?” Lucy asked.

“Yeah...” She smiled at them. She then turned to look at Mira in her wedding dress and slightly blushed. “Wow...you really do look beautiful, Mira.”

“Thank you...” She smiled back. Natsu overheard them and stared at Erza with a frown. He knew what was going to happen next. He clenched his fist at the thought of seeing her cry because of the blue haired man named Jellal. However, he knew that Zeref was involved and when he was involved it never meant anything he good. He knew he was going to have to face Zeref again, the only problem was is that he didn't know how he would fight him. He had a guess that he would fight Jellal, but how would Zeref get involved. He tried to think, but nothing came up.

“Oi Natsu!” Natsu looked over to see Gray calling out his name.

“What?”

“We're heading back! If you want to stay on this island be my guest!” He told him.

“Shut up!” Natsu yelled back and ran up to them. 'Oh well...all I know is...I will kick whoever it is, I'll just kick their ass...'

When the group returned to Fairy Tail, they were shocked to hear what happened.

“How dare some scumbag marry Mira?”

“We should go kick their asses!”

“We did that already!” Happy told them.

“Mira! You look so beautiful in that wedding dress!” Some of the female guild members surrounded her.

“She looks like an angel from heaven.” Some of the male responded, earning glares from some of the other woman.

“Hohohoho! It sure sounds like you had a tough time.” Makarov said, greeting the group.

“Ugh...” Natsu groaned as he had his head on one of the tables.

“What's wrong with him?” Makarov asked.

“Our house burned down and we have no place to go now.” Happy answered.

“Looks like we're sleeping outside again buddy.” He told Happy.

“Yeah...” Happy's ears drooped down.

“Hmm? Really? Then I wonder who's house that is?” Makarov rubbed his chin.

“Huh? What house?” Natsu and Happy asked.

“Woah!” Natsu and Happy looked at the new building in shock. It was a three floor level house that almost looked liked the female dormitory up on Fairy Hills.

“This is place is amazing...” Gray was speechless as he, the Strauss Siblings, Makarov, Levy, Lucy and Erza were also amazed at the new building.

“Wow...” Was all they could say.

“Isn't this so cool Natsu! It is way better than our old home!” Happy exclaimed in excitement and ran toward the building. Natsu laughed and followed as they got to the front door and noticed a letter pinned on it.

“Hmm?” He took the letter off the door and read it.

“What does it say, Natsu?” Happy asked. Natsu suddenly clutched the piece of paper and suddenly burned it to a crisp, surprising everyone.

“That bastard....” He growled in anger. “So it was his fault my house burned down...I'm gonna kick his ass the next time we meet...” Everyone sweat dropped. He sighed to calm himself down before looking at the door and then slowly opened it. Both Natsu's and Happy's jaw dropped to the floor at the inside of the house which was much more impressive than the outside. There was a large chandelier hanging about the main room and a large staircase to the right. “This is too much...” Natsu muttered in shock.

“Wow! This looks like a mansion!” Levy said in astonishment.

“It's looks just like home...” Lucy whispered sadly, remembering her old home.

“Hmm? You say something, Lucy?” Gray asked.

“I was just saying how incredible this place looks...” She replied. She did mean it, but since she was so used to a place like this, it made her feel kind of sad.

“If you say so...but man...is this really your new place Natsu? Whoever built it must be one heck of a guy.” Gray told him.

“Hehehe...you can say that...” Natsu chuckled and looked to the side.

“Hey Natsu!” Happy shouted as he flew up the stairs seconds ago and was now back. “You won't believe this! All of our stuff is back too!”

“Huh? Really!?” Natsu grinned in excitement.

“Yep! There is something else too! I get my own room and it's huge!” He said with stars twinkling in his eyes. “This place is so much better than our old home!”

“Yeah...” Natsu agreed, but felt a little sad, feeling a bit uncomfortable at the new change of scenery.

“But you don't look too happy.” Happy told him.

“I guess it's because I'm not really used to living in a place like this.” He told him. “Well, I'm pretty sure I might get used to it.” He grinned and looked at him. Happy smiled back and flew back upstairs to see his room again.

“Well, it seems you have a lot stuff to take care of. I'll be heading back tot he guild. The sun is setting so I would like some more booze before I hit the hay, hohohohoho!” Makarov told them and walked away.

“Oh Master...” Mirajane smiled at him.

“Well...I guess we should head back too.” Gray yawned, feeling tired from the day. Suddenly, something broke and they all turned to see Erza standing in front of a broken vase. She looked back at them with an embarrassed face and pointed down at the broken vase.

“It broke itself...” She told them.

“Right...” They all responded. Lucy, Levy, Gray and Erza all said goodbye to Natsu and left. The only two remaining other than Natsu and Happy were Mirajane and Elfman. Elfman walked up to Natsu and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Natsu...I want to say thank you...”

“Hey! It was nothing! I would do it for any of my friends.” He proclaimed with a grin.

“You really are the manliest of men...except when you fight me of course!” He smirked.

“Hahaha! Yep!” Natsu laughed and agreed, even though he knew he could easily kick Elfman's ass. He then turned around and walked toward his sister.

“We better head back home.” Elfman told her and she nodded. She looked at Natsu and he smiled at her. She smiled back before giving him a wave goodbye. The two of them left, leaving only Natsu and Happy in the new house. Natsu sighed before heading upstairs to see his own room. When he stood in front of the door to his room, he gulped and opened it slowly. He peaked his head out and looked inside. His eyes widened when he saw everything he thought that was burned to the ground in his room. Every single item he kept from all the requests he was ever on was there.

He smiled, glad that his stuff didn't burn down along with his old house that 'that' guy burned down. He then took a better look at his new room and saw that it was big. There was a large bed at the corner of the room with a window just above it. “Hmm...not bad...still doesn't feel like home though...” Natsu said. He really missed his old home, but I guess he could get use to the new place. After all, Happy was happy with it, so why shouldn't he. He let out a yawn and started walking over to the bed. He suddenly collapsed on it and closed his eyes. “Feels...so soft...” He murmured before sleep took over.

He suddenly woke up when he sensed someone sneaking around his new house. He quickly got up and looked out the window. He saw nothing. He quickly left his room and headed down the stairs. He walked over to the front door and slowly put his hand on the door knob. He clenched his other hand into a fist in case he had to fight someone. He then quickly opened the door. “Who's there!?” He shouted and when he heard a gasp his eyes widened to see Mirajane at the door with a shocked expression on her face. “Ah...Mira...what are you doing here?”

“Ah...I'm sorry...you see I forgot to give you back your scarf and I thought I should give it back right away...I was hoping to return it to you without bothering you if you were asleep...” She answered with a frown, holding Natsu's scarf in her hands.

“Ah...don't worry about it...” Natsu told her. “Come on in.” He told her.

“Huh? But I weren't you sleeping and...”

“I said it's okay.” He grinned at her. “It must be cold outside, so come in.” He told her and she nodded. She walked inside and Natsu closed the door. “So...do you want anything to-” He couldn't finish as he was suddenly pushed back into the wall next to the door and felt Mirajane's warm lips on his. His eyes widened in complete shock at the kiss. He felt her hands on his chest as she pressed her body closer to her.

Natsu was clueless on what to do. He was never kissed before and never had the thought of kissing anyone before until Cana surprised him by taking his first kiss. Now, all of a sudden, Mirajane was kissing him. None of this made sense to him. She finally pulled away from the kiss, leaving a stunned and shocked Natsu standing in front of her. Her cheeks were red and she had a smile on her face. “I'm sorry for suddenly kissing you like that, Natsu.” She told him.

“Mira...I...” He didn't know what to say.

“Natsu...can I ask you a question?”

“W-What?”

“What did you think of Lisanna?” He made a noise in surprise at her question.

“W-Why are you asking me that?”

“Please...” She cried.

“Umm...well...Lisanna was really a great friend...” He answered.

“Did you...have any strong feelings for her?” She asked.

“W-What do you mean?” He asked a bit confused by her question.

“Did you...love Lisanna?” Natsu's eyes widened in shock. Love Lisanna?

“I...” He did not how to respond to her question. Love? Did he love Lisanna? Heck, he didn't even think about love before and here he was being asked if he loved one of his guild mates. He really was just stunned. “I...I don't know...” It was really all he could say. His answer caused Mirajane to frown and lower her head. He saw this and it made his heart ache. “Mira...I...” She shook her head before raising her head and smiled at him. He could tell it was a smile that she forced upon her lips.

“It's okay Natsu...I understand...I guess since I'm here I should tell you this...” She placed a hand to her chest. “Natsu...I...I love you...” The entire house became silent. He was too stunned to find his voice or even move. Nothing could have prepared him falling getting confessed to by one of his guild mates. In fact, he never once thought of the possibility of being involved in anything that had to deal with love unless it involved loving everyone in the guild as family. However, now one of the guild mates he considered as a member of his family was confessing to him. He just didn't know what to say or do. “I'm sorry for suddenly just confessing to you like this...” She told him and grabbed his hand to give him back his scarf. “I don't expect an answer from you...I mean you're probably never thought about love or anything like that and hearing me confess probably is leaving you frozen in place...” She laughed, but Natsu could tell that her laughter shown hints of her pain. “Well...I should head back...” She said and then went behind him to grab the door. She pulled back to open it, but stopped when she saw Natsu grab her arm.

“Natsu...what are you doing?” She asked looking at him.

“I don't know...I don't know...” He whispered before he pulled her towards him and then kissed her. This time Mirajane was the one who was surprised by the kiss. However, she didn't stay surprise for long as she kissed him back. The kiss was kind of sloppy, which Mirajane assumed it was because Natsu never had any experience kissing someone. She was disappointed that she couldn't be the one who took his first kiss, but she was so happy that she chose Natsu to be the one who took her first kiss.

The kiss the two shared was anything but their lips just touching each other. Both of them weren't experienced in kissing, but she didn't care as she enjoyed kissing the person she fell in love with. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself closer to him, feeling his body heat against hers and it just gave her chills. She felt him move his own arms down to her waist and place them there. They eventually broke the kiss and when they did, they stared into each others eyes and Natsu could see that she indeed had the eyes of someone who was in love with him. He didn't know how he knew that, but just the way she looked at him in a way he never saw anyone look at him before told him so.

“Natsu...” She whispered his name before kissing him again. Natsu closed his eyes and kissed back. Suddenly, he felt his body start to move on it's own. He picked her up, her legs wrapping around his waist, and started making his way upstairs. The two of them forgot his scarf completely as it fell to the floor.

When they got to his room, he opened the door and then closed it behind him. Mirajane's hands were on his cheeks as they continued their kiss. He continued walking until her got to his new bed and just gently placed her on it, the two of them kissing throughout. They continued to kiss for a few more seconds before Natsu pulling away. He lifted his head and looked down to see something he never thought existed. He saw an angel. Her name was Mirajane and she really did look like an angel instead of her previous known nickname as the demon of Fairy Tail. At that moment, she wasn't a demon, but just exactly the opposite. He never seen her or anyone else like this. It was just breathtaking. Her hair was sprawled all over his new bed as she looked up at him with red cheeks.

“Mira...”

“Natsu...” They whispered each others name.

“You look...so beautiful...” He couldn't believe the words that came out his mouth. It was like he was a completely different person. He never thought he would just say those words to her. He saw her cheeks get even more red and her eyes started to form tears.

“Natsu...” She couldn't contain herself anymore and wrapped her arms around his neck again and kissed him. Natsu was a bit surprise at the sudden kiss, but closed his eyes and kissed back. He suddenly felt her tongue against his bottom lip and try to push into his mouth. He wasn't sure what she wanted, but he opened his mouth and when her tongue entered his mouth, he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body. He could feel her tongue exploring his mouth and it only made the kiss that much better. He tried touching her tongue with his own and it increased the feeling. He wasn't sure if what they were doing was still considered kissing, but he enjoyed the feeling.

Mirajane was in the same situation as Natsu. When he let her put her tongue into his mouth, she was overjoyed. As she explored his mouth, she felt her entire tingle with excitement. She wasn't experienced in kissing, but she knew what they were doing was french kissing each other and she loved it, especially when she danced with Natsu's tongue with her own. However, both of them had to breathe and they pulled away.

“Natsu...” Mirajane whispered his name. He surprised her when he suddenly lowered himself and started kissing her neck. She let out a gasp, but it soon followed with a moan. She was not expecting Natsu to do this. “Natsu...” She moaned as he trailed kisses down her neck and back up again. He then lifted his head up and looked at her.

“Mira...I...I don't know what's wrong with me...” He suddenly said, surprising the beauty under him.

“What are you talking about....Natsu?”

“I...I don't know what's wrong...my body...it's moving on it's own...I don't what I'm doing...It's like my body isn't listening to me...” He told her. She smiled at him and placed a hand on his cheek.

“It's okay...Natsu...just let your body do what it wants...don't fight it...I want to do it too...” She told him. He didn't know what she meant by that, but he just did as she told him to and let his body do the work. He lowered himself down and kissed her once more. His hands then started move and the two felt a jolt of excitement enter their body at what they were about to do.

[The following is the lemon scene which can be found on AFF or YOURFANFICTION.COM!! Please check my profile for the links!]

Natsu moved his hands as he slid them down her arm toward her legs. He felt her moan into the kiss as his hands landed on her butt cheek, lifting her up slightly, before repeating the process once more. He broke the kiss and started attacking her neck again. He went lower and left a trail of kisses on her collarbone. He wanted to go lower but her clothing got in the way. Mirajane saw how he wanted to go lower and smiled. She raised herself up with her elbows and pushed him up with her as well. The two were now siting on the bed.

“Mira...?” He wondered what she was doing. His eyes widened in shock as he watched her take off her shirt, leaving her with only her white colored bra and pants. Natsu felt his cheeks get hot. “Mira...what are you-” He was silenced when she kissed him.

“It's okay Natsu...like I said...I want to do it too...just let your body do what it wants...” She told him against his lips. When she finished, he kissed her and lowered her back down onto the bed. He went back to her collarbone and kissed it before he started trailing kisses down her body. He stopped just above her bra and then looked at her. She smiled at him and moved her hands behind her to unclasp the bra. His eyes widened in fascination as she removed her bra to reveal her perky, pink nipples. He wasn't sure what to do, so he let his body act on its own just like Mira told him and he placed his mouth over one of her breasts. “Aaahhh!” She screamed and when she did, he let go of her breast and began to worry that he did something wrong.

“Are you okay Mira? Did I hurt you?” He asked. She loved how worried he was over her well being. She found it cute.

“It's okay Natsu...” She reassured him. “I was just a little surprised since no one ever did that before...” She blushed harder when she said that. “...and it felt good...”

“It did?” He asked, blushing a bit. She nodded. “Okay then...” He then lowered himself and placed his mouth over her breast again. Mirajane bit her bottom lip to stop another scream from escaping her mouth, so that she didn't worry Natsu again and make hims top what he was doing. She could feel the part of her breast that he had in his mouth get hot and it send chills up and down her spine. She moaned when she felt his tongue start to play with her nipple.

Natsu never tasted anything like this before. It didn't have a particular taste, but it made him want more and more of it. When he licked her nipple, it just made him want more, so he swirled his tongue around the pink part of her breast. His hand started to move and it grabbed her other breast and gave it squeeze. She screamed. He didn't know if he hurt her or he didn't, but he found out when he felt her hand grab his hair and push him further into her chest. She arched her back as she felt an incredible feeling that she never felt before.

Natsu eventually moved onto the other one as he grabbed the one he recently attended to with his mouth and he repeated the cycle. He kneaded her breast and moved it around in a circular motion, which helped intensify Mirajane's incredible feeling. The sensation that she felt in the pit of her stomach grew and grew every second Natsu pleasured her. She could hardly hold the sensation in and was close to bursting in an orgasm unlike she ever experienced before. Of course she masturbated every once in a while, but she couldn't compare what Natsu was doing to all those times.

However, he suddenly lifted his head and let go of her breast with a pop. She missed the hot feeling of his mouth over her breast and looked at him to see what was wrong and why he stopped. “What's wrong?”

“I feel weird...” He told her. She smiled.

“I know...I do too...” She told him.

“You do?”

She nodded her head and lifted herself to give him a kiss on the lips. When she pulled back, she moved her hands to her pants and started taking them off. Natsu wasn't sure why she was doing that as she was left with her panties the only article of clothing on her. He also noticed they were wet, which made him even more confused. However, it wasn't long before she took of her panties, leaving her nude right in front of him. His face became completely red and tried to turn away, but she placed her hand son his cheeks to stop his head from moving. “Don't look away...please...” She pleaded with him giving him another passionate kiss.

“Mira...” Natsu wasn't sure what was going on. He didn't know why she was suddenly nude right in front of him, but she was. As he looked at her, he finally was able to understand why Macao and Wakabe were always acting the way they were with Mirajane. She look astonishing and beautiful. He couldn't describe her in any other way that those two words. The only other word that he could think of was her looking like a Goddess. He surprised himself that he thought she looked like a Goddess, but he realized he was doing nothing but thinking the truth. He wondered if it was really him in his body right now and not someone else. He really was confused as to why he was thinking such things when he never thought about them before. It was like he was a completely different person. “Mira...” He whispered her name once again and then this time he kissed her and lowered her back down to the bed.

The light from the moon illuminated them as they made out on his new bed. He could feel her breast against his chest and it sent jolts to both of them. Mirajane could feel how toned his abdomen was as she trailed her hands down it, her destination slowly approaching. She could feel the heat that Natsu's body emitted through her skin, making the area in between her legs even more wet. Mirajane's hands finally arrived at their destination as Natsu groaned into the kiss as she moved her hand up and down against his growing shaft. He stopped the kiss and groaned as she stopped her movements and looked up at Natsu. “Natsu...I...I want your thing...” She told him.

“W-What...what are you...?” He didn't understand her. She found his confusion to be adorable as she started pulling down his pants. He wasn't sure why she was doing this, but his body didn't let her stop. She slid down both his pants and boxers as his shaft sprung free from it's confines. Mirajane blush as it was the first time she ever saw a penis and it was a fairly big one at that.

'Oh my...' She thought. She then looked up at Natsu and saw the confused look on his face. She smiled and then pulled him back down for a kiss. She felt his penis touch her skin and her womanhood tingled in excitement. She broke the kiss before looking into Natsu's eyes with all the love that she had for the Dragon Slayer above her. “Natsu...I love you...” She told him without hesitation.

Natsu didn't say he loved her. He didn't know if he loved her or not. He never once tried to figure out the feeling of love because he assumed he never would feel it. Should he tell her that she loved him? If he did, then would he be lying? He didn't know. “I...” She stopped him from continuing by placing a finger to his lip.

“It's okay...” She told him. He didn't know what she meant by that. He groaned when he suddenly felt her grab his shaft and give it a slight squeeze.

“Mira...that feels...good...” He groaned as she squeezed it again. She smiled, happy that what she did was making him feel good, just like he was able to make her feel incredible. She started stroking, initiating several more groans from the pink haired Dragon Slayer. She then decided it was time.

“Natsu...”

“What is it...Mira?” He asked as he looked at her. She smiled at him and then spread her legs open so that he got a good view of her vagina. His eyes widened at something he never seen before. “Mira...?”

“Please...put your thing...inside me...” She pleaded. Natsu made a sound of surprise and looked down at his thing and that back at hers. He gulped. For the first time in who knows how long, he was terrified at doing something. He slowly nodded his head and positioned himself in front of her. He wasn't exactly sure what she meant by putting his thing inside her and when Mirajane saw him struggling, she grabbed his penis with her hand and led his shaft to her pussy. As soon as it made contact with her pussy, she bit her bottom lip to prevent a scream from escaping her mouth and Natsu hissed at the contact. She didn't stop there as she led the tip inside her. Natsu groaned at the incredible feeling of being inside of Mirajane. It felt so wet and tight around his penis as he moved deeper inside of her. Both of them felt an incredible sensation that they couldn't explain. Neither of them never experienced something like this. Natsu stopped when he felt some sort of barrier in front of his penis.

“Mira...” He whispered her name as he looked at her confused.

“It's okay....just push through...” She told him and he nodded. So he did and he pushed through the barrier. He didn't expect the loud scream that came from Mirajane's mouth. “Aaaahhh!” She screamed and Natsu froze in fear.

“Mira! Are you okay!?” He panicked. “What did I do? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry! I never meant to hurt you Mira!” He cried out as he couldn't believe he hurt one of his friends. He saw bite her bottom lip and looked down and his eyes widened in horror as he saw blood streaming down his shaft from her womanhood. “No...I never wanted...I...” He couldn't believe what he did. He hurt her. He made her bleed. She was in pain because of him. He had to pull out. Yes, that's what he had to. He started to do so, but Mirajane suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Natsu was shocked by the sudden kiss.

They kissed for a while, both of them just staying where they were. Mirajane finally broke the kiss and looked up at him. “No...don't blame yourself Natsu...” She told him as some tears escaped her eyes. This made Natsu feel even worse. “This is what happens...when a girl has her first time...” She told him.

“First...time...?” He repeated in question form.

“Yeah...but don't worry...it only hurts for a few a while...” She added. “Don't blame yourself Natsu...you didn't hurt me...” She kissed him again, moaning into his mouth. Natsu was totally lost. He hurt her and yet she was telling him to not blame himself. How could he not? He hurt one of his precious nakama. The one thing he never wanted to do. When she pulled away she looked at him and then smiled. “You can start moving...”

“Moving...?” She nodded her head.

“Yeah...in and out...” She instructed. Natsu looked at her with a worried expression before he nodded his head. He started moving just as she said. He pulled back before entering his penis inside her again. When he did, he felt a a feeling that was unimaginable. He did it again and that same feeling returned. Mirajane gasped when he started moving. He hit her womb slowly, but with enough force to send chills down her spine. He started moving a little bit faster and the same feeling got stronger with every thrust he made. “Natsu...ah...that feels...so good...” He heard her moan.

“Yeah...so good....” He repeated, happy that she was feeling as good as he was. He immediately forgot about the pain he caused her moments ago and just concentrated on moving in and out of the beautiful woman beneath him. Both of them started sweating from all the moving they did. Mirajane's voice rang out throughout his room and he loved hearing every sound that came out from her mouth. He looked down at her breasts and saw them bouncing back and forth against each in a vertical motion. He leaned down and once again captured her breasts in his mouth.

“Ahh!” She screamed in ecstasy as she missed the hot feeling of Natsu's mouth against her breast. She slowly wrapped her legs around his waist that made him enter deeper inside of her to the point that he was hitting the entrance to her womb with every thrust. She removed her hands from around his neck and clutched the sheets under her. Natsu moved his hands so that he connected them with her own as the two held hands while continuing have the ritual as old as time known as sex.

Both of them suddenly felt a new sensation that built up in the pit of their stomachs. Mirajane knew what this feeling was, but Natsu never experience something like it before. He removed his mouth from her breasts and looked at her, panting from all the thrusting he was doing. “Mira...I feel weird...” He told her. She opened her eyes to look at him and let out a gasp as he found her sensitive spot. When he heard that sound, he continued to thrust at that same spot and he did so successfully as she let out another gasp just like the one before.

“Natsu...I'm going to...ahhh...” He didn't know what she meant by that, but he continued to thrust. At that moment, he just let his body do what it wanted and it just continued to move in and out of Mirajane. He sped up and as he did, the feeling in the pit of his stomach just increased.

“Ahh...something's...coming out...” He shouted.

“It means...you're about to...ahh...c-cum...” She told him.

“What is that?' He asked totally clueless on the word.

“It's an incredible feeling...don't fight it...” She told him. “Just release it...release it...inside me...” She gasped as she was at the breaking point. He didn't understand any of this, but if she told him to not fight it, he didn't. It resulted in his thrusts getting faster.

“AAAHHH! NATSU!” Mirajane screamed as her orgasm finally erupted. Her vaginal walls tightened around Natsu's shaft as her juices soaked his shaft.

“MIRA!!!” Natsu followed suit as the tightening of her walls was too much for him and he let loose of the feeling and began shooting his white fluids inside of her. They clasped their hands together and he arched his back as he released inside of her. Mirajane screamed again as she felt her womb get filled with his hot white semen. Natsu's thrust started to become erratic as he pumped everything he was holding back inside of her. Soon enough, he stopped and softly lowered himself down to her. Both of them were exhausted from the sex as they did their best to catch their breaths. Natsu pulled out of her as some of his semen escaped from her vagina and onto the blood soaked sheets. When he was able to catch his breath, he lifted himself up slightly off of Mirajane and they looked at each other. She smiled at him.

“That was...incredible...” She told him.

“Yeah...I never knew...something could feel this good...” He told her, smiling back. They then kissed again, moaning into each others mouths before Natsu rolled over to the side. He felt tired. Mirajane turned to her side and smiled at him. Natsu looked back and smiled before he wrapped his arms around her. He pressed her closer to him as she could hear his beating heart. She smiled and closed her eyes, allowing his beating heart to soothe her into sleep. It did and Natsu smiled at her when he saw that her eyes were closed. He reached for the blanket behind him and wrapped it around both of them. He too soon closed his eyes. He too soon fell asleep, Mirajane in his arms.

“What do you know...he finally did it...” The man chuckled as he drank out of the bottle he always carried around.

“Pervert...” Alastor said behind him.

“Someone who was here the entire time they did shouldn't say anything.” The man replied as Alastor blushed slightly.

“Shut up or I'll tell Eve.”

“Tell her what? That you and I were watching Natsu have sex?” Alastor thought about it before he cringed.

“You know what...never mind...” The man chuckled. “By the way, you never told me this...why does he have to capture the hearts of his maidens or whatever you call it?”

“Oh that...sorry, but it's a secret...” He replied.

“You really piss me off with all this secrecy.”

“You are not the only one who has told me that.”

“I'm sure I'm not.” There was silence between them. “Did you see his fight against that magma guy?”

“Yep...I'm impressed that he was able to unlock the Blue Flames. I guess he listens after all.”

“He's strong...makes me want to fight him again...”

“I advise you to not do so...”

“Are you saying I'll lose again?”

“No...okay yes...but his next opponent is not going to be easy.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean...that Natsu might have no choice but to use the Dragon Metamorphosis with his next opponent...”

“Oh...and just who is this opponent?”

“Someone...who will make Natsu realize the difference between himself and 'his powers'...”

“Hahaha! That was a splendid fight, Natsu Dragneel.” A man in a hooded cloak laughed as he saw the recorded fight between Natsu and Magnus. Some of his light blue hair peaking out of his hoodie. “I can't wait to fight you myself, Natsu.” He smirked in excitement as he chuckled.
