(Author's Note)
What up ladies and gentlemen, this is Lord of Awesomeness coming to you live with a brand, spankin new chapter for my new story, Repercussion. Just to let the reader know, I'm planning on getting this story to chapter 5 before working on my other project, and sorry to my Pokémon/Naruto fan, but I would have to put that story on hold for the moment. I'm very sorry, but I'm currently very interested in Fairy Tail right now, and had no inspiration to write more on "Stepping out of the Shadow."
Again, my apologies.
Now lets get back to this story now, shall we. So far I'm planning on having Natsu traveling with Happy to train and look for new thing, you know, so he can forget about Lisanna. Now don't worry Happy's fan, I'm planning on making Happy a fighter too, with a battle form, like Pantherlily, except he won't look human like. Oh how could I forget, in this chapter Natsu will have more than just Fire Dragon Slayer Magic. To spice things up a little I decided on giving Natsu two other form of magic, but I'm not telling you guys what they are, it would just ruin the story. I will tell you this though, the two type of magic he will learn, are both used by his parent.
Without further ado, chapter 2 of Repercussion.
(Somewhere in Fiore)
"Natsu, are we there yet," asked Happy, looking at Natsu with that big eye of his.
Natsu, who was holding onto a map of Fiore, visibly shook. "For the last time, Happy, not yet," he spoke carefully, trying to reined in his frustration.
"Fine," replied Happy, causing Natsu to sigh in relief. About five second later. "Are we there yet," asked a too innocent cat.
Natsu decided to stay silent, or else he might exploded at his traveling companion.
"Are we, are we, are we, ar."
"We're here!" exclaimed Natsu, happy that they finally reach their destination, and finally stop Happy of his rambling.
"Really," asked Happy.
"Yeah," muttered Natsu as he walked toward the clearing, Happy following behind him. With the last tree out of the way, he noticed that they were on a cliff, overlooking a very country-like town.
Clover Town
Starring at the town, Happy decided to asked Natsu something. "Hey Natsu, why are we at Clover Town again," asked a confused cat, he followed Natsu for three day, and he never did tell him what his business in Clover Town is.
Natsu, still staring at the town, whispered, almost inauditaly, "I have a meeting with Master Bob of Blue Pegasus."
Hearing that caused confuse mark to appear above his head. As far as Happy know, Natsu never had any interest with other guild, according to Natsu, Fairy Tail was the best and they don't need to associate with other guild. For Natsu to travel so long, they could have gone here sooner, but Natsu get sick easily in transportation, this must be very important, maybe it had something to do with what he always mumble in his sleep. Shaking the thought out of his head Happy asked, "But wh..."
He didn't get to finish asking his question because Natsu covered Happy's tiny mouth with his hand. "Do you smell that Happy," whispered Natsu, his eyes peering toward the area where they were a bunch of tree. "I smell blood." That cause Happy to jolt up, Natsu was raised by a dragon, so he received dragon's ability, like strength, stamina, and a nose stronger than most canine. "Stay here Happy, I'll go check it out." Natsu didn't wait for Happy's response as he already rushed toward the source of the smell, careful not to make much noise.
After a moment of careful running, Natsu came upon a forest clearing, where he heard some voice. Deciding to see what the commotion was, before making judgment, Natsu leaned against the tree and carefully pear his eye toward the source of the noise and the source of the blood he smell. What he saw caused him to widen then narrowed his eyes in anger.
There on the clearing are five mage, base on the fact that he could feel massive amount of magical energy from them. All of them are wearing a purple, long sleeve shirt, a pair of black trouser, arm length, black glove,black boot, and a black cape. They are also wearing a mask with no whole for a mouth of eye, on the mask was a simple, Natsu knew from when Master Makarov taught them about Dark Guild.
It was the symbol of Grimoire Heart.
They all stood over a blonde hair girl, about Natsu age, which is 15, and from the state of her clothe, the girl is, well was, wearing a teal dress, that reach her knee, which was basically destroyed. The strap on her right shoulder are gone,all over the dress are numerous rips and tears.
Thanks to his enhance hearing, Natsu was able to hear what they were saying.
"Is that her boss," exclaimed the one on the right, as he held his sword, which is cover with blue flame, in front of him threatening at the girl, who flinched.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a Blue Pegasus guild mark on her left shoulder," stated the one in the middle, who Natsu assume is the leader. "Yep, that the girl Master Hades wanted." He then turn toward the four solider behind him. "You four, capture her, do whatever it take as long as she alive," he ordered.
"Yes sir," said the four mages simultaneously.
The first one, which so happen to be the one with the sword, that Natsu like, came first, trying to pluck the scared girl up, however before he could get hold of the blonde, Natsu appear in between them, delivering a Fire Dragon Iron Fist to the Dark Mage's jaw, sending him crashing to one of his comrade. Natsu however didn't stop there. His flaming arms turn thinner and more define, gaining length, and before long, a long tendril of fire appear on both his arm.
"Fire Dragon Wing Attack," exclaimed the young Fire Dragon Slayer as he slam one of the "wing" at the still stunned mage, sending him to the other two. Natsu then used his other "wing" to slam the last one into the group, all of them impacting each other. Then his flame started to become brighter and larger, loosing it's length, turning the flame into a sphere, enveloping his fist.
"Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame," Natsu exclaimed loudly as he put his two fist together, causing the flames to enlarge and form a gigantic sphere of hot flame. Without wasting anytime, Natsu bought the flame down on the four Dark Mage, causing a large explosion to erupt, incinerating a few tree that was unlucky enough to be near them. Deciding on not to waste an opportunity Natsu dashed toward the girl, who was staring at him in aww, picked her up, ignoring her indigent, and ran as fast as he could out of there.
Not looking back Natsu ran away, jumped over a few dead tree on the way. He changed direction many time, so the members of Grimore Heart would have a difficult time finding them.
After ten minute of nonstop running Natsu laid the young women on a tree, quickly realizing that she was unconscious, most likely due to pain. Letting out an exhausted sigh Natsu crashed onto another tree, closed his eye, trying to regain his strength.
Sadly that didn't last long as a loud crash was heard. Swiftly standing up, Natsu saw the five Dark Mage from before, this time their leader are with them.
The one with the swore, pointed the sword toward Natsu threateningly. "You got us by surprise last time. Don't expect the same thing to work this round pal," snarled the mage.
"That right, we're going to kill you this time," snarked the one he hit using Fire Dragon Wing Attack.
"Calm down," stated the leader, who appear to be the only one undamaged from their last endeavor. "Just give us the girl and we will leave you in peace."
It was obviously a lie, something that Natsu quickly noticed. Deciding to buy some time he said, "Why do you want this girl anyway."
"That isn't really your concern now is it," retold the leader but seeing the glare from the Fire Dragon Slayer, he decided to says more. "It was an order given to us specifically from Master Hades. We are suppose to capture the girl and return her to Master Hades. According to the Master, this young lady is the ideal test subject for this new magic he created." The leader's voice stop for a minute before his voiced turn lecherous. "Master Hades's order are to capture this girl alive, so we can have, heh heh, a bit of fun with her before delivering her to him." The group suddenly erupted into laughter, crackling evilly, unaware that the blonde girl was awake and heard everything they said they were going to do to her. The thought of those men forcing themselves on her was sick and the fact that their LEADER wanted her, it was truly scary and she hope that her savior would save her again.
Before she can finish her thought, a dark malevolent aura suddenly encompassed them. The laughter of the Dark Mages stop and they turn toward the sources of such vile magic. What they found was truly scary. It was Natsu with his head lower, so they couldn't see his eyes, his hair swinging wildly as blood red energy swirled around him, his cape billowing on the energy.
"Disgusting," bellowed Natsu, causing everyone to flinch back. "Despicable. You see human as nothing more than lab rat." His spiky pink hair got tamer, the only spike are downward, covering his left eye. "Then had the audacity to try and rape innocent girl." His hair suddenly turn pitch black, like the empty void of space. "People like you disgust me," roared Natsu upward as the blood red magical energy shoot upward, causing dirts to be uplifted, and pushed away. The five mage look fearfully at the Salamander, said mage just glared at them, finally opening his red eye with black ring around the pupil.
Without warning Natsu dashed in with an uppercut to the one closest to him, sending the Dark Mage through the sky. Natsu then perform a back-flip to avoid the guy with the sword, who was attempting to slash at him. Not giving up, the Dark Mage rocketed toward Natsu his sword slashed downward. Without even looking at his current opponent, Natsu covered his left fist with bright, orange flame, creating a blade made out of fire. Using the fire blade Natsu blocked the incoming sword with his flame sword.
Acting quickly Natsu covered his right arm with flame before delivering a Fire Dragon Iron Fist in the opponent's stomach, causing the swordsman to cough up blood, before crouching down on his knee, excepting his defeat. Not looking at the down mage, Natsu encased his right leg with flame, then slam it at the defeated mage, sending him crashing against a tree. The tree received a huge dent from the impact.
Thanks to his instinc, Natsu was able to dodge an incoming fist attack from one of the three remaining Dark Mage. However he wasn't prepare for the jet of water that was sent his way. The attack hit its target, which was Natsu's stomach, and sent him rocketed toward the ground. When Natsu was about to stand up and continued fighting a shout caught his attention.
"Tempest," exclaimed the water mage, as blue magical seal appear in front of his interlocking hand. Suddenly a huge whirlpool of water came out and crashed into the still stunt Natsu, sending him crashing against a tree, breaking it in half. "Ha, not so tough now ar..."
He didn't get to finish that sentence because a flaming fist suddenly impact him in his solar plexus, sending him crashing into the ground.
"You talk to much," growled Natsu as he stood over the down mage. His eyes suddenly lock onto the two remaining Dark Mage. "Three gone, two to go." Without a warning Natsu dashed toward another mage, his fist encased with bright orange flame. The dark mage, however, was not going to go down without a fight so he concentrated all his magic onto fist connected hand.
"Wraith of the Lightning Serpent," screamed the mage as a yellow magic circle appear in front of his outstretch hand. An electrifying yellow serpent, made out of pure electricity and the size of a house flew out and head straight toward Natsu.
Said mage stop and just stared at the incoming projectile with something akin to boredom. Natsu then held out his right arm, great white flame started to dance around his arm, until his entire arm was encased in white fire. "Flame Dragon King's" stated Natsu as he cocked his fist back. The white flame the covered his arm suddenly compressed and now only covered his fist, but now their blue. "Demolition Fist," exclaimed Natsu as he punched the lightning serpent with his blue flame fist, impacting the serpent on it's mouth.
For a moment nothing happen. Natsu's fist and the electric serpent clashed into each other. Lightning and flame flowed everywhere, causing nearby tree and grass to either burn or singe away. Then suddenly the electric serpent's body started to crack. Multiple cracked spread until it's entire body are cover with crack. It suddenly started to disappear into thin air, erase from existence.
"Nn-o-o way," whispered the mage now on his knee as he stared at the man that destroy his strongest spell like it was nothing. With no magic left in his body, the dark mage just collapse, face first in the ground.
Natsu, not even sparing his downed opponents a glance, turn toward the leader of the group, who was surprisingly still calm and judging by his body language, the man was appraising him.
"Impressive," said the dark mage as he walk toward Natsu casually, like he wasn't about to face the man that was able to defeat everyone of his comrade. "There are no mistaken. You are the Salamander of Fairy Tail am I right?" asked the man as he was about five feet away from Natsu now. Natsu just growl at him. "Hmm, let me introduce myself first," stated the dark mage as his body glowed golden, signaling the use of Re-Quip magic, surprising Natsu for a minute because he had never seen anyone beside Erza use Re-Quip before and also because he wasn't expecting a dark mage to introduce himself, I mean, what kind of bad guy introduce themselves to the hero. When the glow dwindle down, the man appearance change greatly. No longer was he wearing some kind of cloak and mask and now without it, Natsu was able to scan the man. The mage is tall, massive, and highly muscular man with tan skin and thick brown hair that looks like long, dark, leathery strips of confetti jutting out in all directions. He has brown eyes and long sideburns, joining his hair to his prominent goatee, which takes the form of several triangles pointing downwards and extending upwards on his chin. He also has a straight dark streak running over his left eye, which extends up to the top of his forehead and down to his mid cheek. Each of his ears is adorned by a large earring shaped like a round crescent moon pointing down.
The man wears an outfit decorated by tribal-like motifs, complete with what looks like leather armor covering his upper body. The chest piece is simple, with the central section highlighting his prominent abdominals and pectorals underneath it being light green, separated by the dark green parts on his sides by a pair of thin white lines framing it on both edges. The V-shaped part around the neck is instead black. With the chest piece comes a pair of large, dark-colored shoulder pads, complete with lighter-colored edges and massive straps hanging from them, each decorated by similarly large hollow studs. The left shoulder pad bears Grimoire Heart's symbol. Around his waist is a simple, plain belt distinguished by the dark motifs on it; below it, the leather armor continues in a waistguard composed of four large, semicircular flaps, each decorated by studs identical to the one on his shoulder pads, and retaining the color scheme of his chest piece. His arms are covered by loose, light green sleeves, with a darker green band circling each of them, closed by a stud identical to those adorning the rest of his attire, and darker-colored stripes framing the areas where the sleeves open laterally to reveal part of the man forearms. His pants, while orange in color, retain the same structure of the sleeves, with the lower parts being slashed on the front, where they are framed by green stripes and overlooked by studded bands. The sides of such pants, in addition, are adorned by a series of dark motifs running down their entire length. Visible from the slashes in them are his white boots.
All in all, the man was very intimidating, but Natsu wasn't going to back down without a fight.
"My name is Azuma," stated Azuma with his right hand covering his heart, as he gave a bow. "A member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory."
"Seven Kin of Purgatory," whispered Natsu as he took a step back in fear. Natsu had heard of such group from the Master. The Seven Kin are the seven elite and some of the strongest member of Grimore Heart. It was rumor that their power are equivalent to the Ten Wizard Saint, the ten strongest mage in Fiore. Mentally barraging himself for showing fear, Natsu got into his battle stance. He didn't know why, but something inside him was telling him to protect the blonde girl.
Seeing that his opponent was actually going to continue to fight him after hearing the he's a member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory cause him to raise an eyebrow. Usually when someone hear of his title they would either quiver in fear or run away, but that was not the case to this child. He was standing tall, determine to protect the girl he didn't even know. Azuma smiled. Maybe the kid can actually provide him some challenge.
"Before we begin our duel, would you mind telling me why you would risk your life for a total stranger," inquired Azuma.
Natsu just look at Azuma emotionlessly, finally got his act together. "It doesn't matter that we don't know each other. What you guys are doing is wrong and I won't just stand by and watch it happen if I can do something about it," started Natsu, voice fill with emotion.
To Natsu's surprise, Azuma nearly grin at what he said. "Well said Salamander," said Azuma as he raised his right hand upward, causing Natsu to tense. A green magical seal appear, hovering above both mages.
"Th..ats," whispered Natsu wide eye in resignation, before he narrowed it in determination. "Fine. Have it your way," said Natsu as he held is right arm up, summoning a red magical seal and sent it toward the sky, hovering above Azuma's green seal. The two magical seals glowed before descending toward the ground. It glowed brighter, causing some dirts to be uplifted, until ultimately disappear, sending the dirts back on the ground. Then out of nowhere a gold magical seal appear on the floor, covering a large portion of the forest. If you look up, the same seal can be seen hovering above the one on the ground. The same but much smaller golden seal also appear on both mages' heads.
Natsu tense as he re-enter his battle stance. The light from the sun dim considerately. Natsu quickly lit his arms on fire and held it protectively in front of his body. He know what this is, and losing was not an option. Faster than usual Natsu dashed toward Azuma with his right his cocked back. Before the fist can make impact Azuma grabbed the fist with his left hand then punch Natsu in the stomach, knocking the air out of said mage.
"Weak," stated Azuma as his open palm touch Natsu stomach. "Great Tree Arc: Bleve!" The area in front of him, including where Natsu is exploded in a huge explosion, causing dirt to be uplifted, destroying the nearby ground. The explosion also caused the blonde girl to fly away and crashed into a tree. A trail of blood escape her mouth. When the dusts finally cleared out, Natsu can be seen on one knee panting as burn mark decorated his body. His robe are now fill with tears and now has many holes. Without warning Natsu covered his entire body in flame before shooting at Azuma with impressive speed.
"Fire Dragon Sword Horn," screamed Natsu as he rocketed toward Azuma with his entire body covered in flame. In response to that, Azuma raised both of his arms in front, aiming toward Natsu.
"Great Tree Arc: Linear Explosion," he shouted, causing the front of him to explode. The ground in front of the explosion exploded after that. The chain continue toward Natsu who just rocketed past the explosion, not even fazing from the damage, if he received any. Azuma manage to dodge Natsu at the last second, the attack missed him by a mere centimeter.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Azuma however did not have the time to celebrate because Natsu somehow mange to get rid of the flame that was covering his body and perform a backflip, his flaming fist aiming at Azuma's head. The attack hit, sending Azuma tumbling away. Deciding not to waste such a golden opportunity, Natsu put two fist, one in front of the other, over his mouth and inhaled a large quantity of air. "Fire Dragon Roar!" exclaimed Natsu as a red magical seal appear in front of his fist, as he exhale a large amount of fire, heading toward Azuma, who was staring at the flame in shock.
"Booooooooooooom," sounded the explosion after Natsu's flame collided into Azuma.
Seeing that Azuma was taken cared of, Natsu quickly ran toward the blonde girl, who was still badly injured but her eyes are open, albeit barely. "Are you okay," whispered Natsu frantically, since he knew that someone as powerful as Azuma wouldn't be down by just one spell, no matter how powerful that Fire Dragon Roar might be.
The 15 year old girl just nod, still shock from what she just witness. Even though it didn't look like it, the girl was awake for the whole thing. She heard what the dark mages said, she saw her savior rescued her and took down four dark mages easily. She even saw the battle her savior had with Azuma, and it was surprising that a boy her age would be able to match with one of the member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory.
"Good," whispered Natsu as he picked her up and carried her bridal style, the action caused the blonde hair beauty to blush. "Don't worry I'll protect you," he said with conviction in his voice, as he held her closer. Natsu didn't know why but he felt really protective of this girl that he just met thirty minute ago. Said girl just blush even more, her face now resemble a ripe tomato. Whether it's from the way Natsu spoke or the warmth radiating from Natsu, she'll never know.
"Great Tree Arc: Tree Fist," exclaimed a voice as a giant fist made out of wood appear out of the ground and slammed at Natsu and the blonde girl, causing both of them to fly away from each other. While still in the air, multiple tree roots came out of the ground and constrict him in a vice grip. No matter how hard he tried, Natsu couldn't get out of it. Not even burning the root work. "Great Tree Arc: Burst Claw," exclaimed the now reviewed Azuma who stood with multiple scratches and burn mark on his body and his arms outstretch at Natsu. The roots suddenly exploded, engulfing the area with smokes.
"Natsuuuu," exclaimed the blonde girl as she stared at where her savior was, tears flowing down her face.
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus:," exclaimed a voice from the smoke causing a relieved smile to appear on the blonde girl face while Azuma frown. "Exploding Flame Blade." Natsu swiped the area in front of him creating a torrent of pure red flame to appear and swirl around him. With another swipe the flame rocketed toward Azuma, whose eyes are now wide in disbelief.
Quickly shaking himself out of fear, Azuma put his fist in an X- formation, a green magical aura surrounded him as he channel a huge amount of magical energy from the surrounding plant and tree. "Great Tree Arc: Svalinn," he yelled out, causing a thick, diamond shape tree trunk to appear out of the ground, shielding Azuma from the flame. When Natsu's flames crashed into Azuma's tree trunk, an explosion ensure, causing said man to jump up, swiping his right arm upward, causing a bunch of razor sharp leaves to surround him in a tornado. "Great Tree Arc: Folium Sica," exclaimed Azuma as he swipe his right arm at Natsu, causing the leaves around him to zoom toward Natsu, who had no time to dodge.
"Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggg," screamed Natsu as he was surrounded by razor sharp leaves that keep cutting him. Azuma just stared at Natsu critically, as if trying to see if he's going to make it. "Damn! This guy's no joke," thought Natsu as he manage to lock eye with Azuma, even though pain was radiating from all point of his body. "Damn it!," cursed Natsu mentally as he could feel that his magical energy was running out. "I have to take him out fast, but first I need to get out of this." Even though the pain was gargantuan, Natsu somehow manage to spin in the leaves tornado, an action that caused Azuma to raised his eyebrow, but he could feel a huge amount of magical energy radiating out of the young teen.
"Dragon Slayer's Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Raging Infernal," exclaimed as he spun faster, the friction plus magic energy caused fire to surround him. Spinning in the same direction as Natsu, until his entire body was covered by a tube of spinning fire. It suddenly gets bigger and bigger, until the leaves tornado was engulf by an infernal. Azuma had to use his arms to block the heat that was radiating from the infernal.
"This kid," thought Azuma in astonishment. "He's as strong as, no, he might be stronger than Ultear." Azuma then look at his palm, which was blacken from the flame. "And his flame are hotter than thats of Zancrow." He proceed to stared at the flaming tower that was still raging. "I need to notify Master Hades at once." A smile then spread across his face. "But first, let me finish this duel."
While Azuma was thinking all that, the blonde girl was looking at her savior in shock and admiration. She had never seen anyone from her guild that possess as much power as Natsu. Thinking about the pink hair, now raven hair Dragon Slayer caused her to blush. The way he just jump out of nowhere to save her was just like the fantasy about a knight in shining armor rescuing a princess, but instead of a knight in shining armor, it was a dragon in black cloak.
Finally, after what felt like eternity, the flame died down reviewing Natsu, who look like he was barely standing. Scratch mark littered his clothes. Bloods can be seen coming out of all parts of his body.
"Damn it," thought Natsu as he glared angrily at Azuma who was still looking at him in astonishment. "My reserve are near empty. I need to find fire and quick."
"I'm impress," stated Azuma, breaking Natsu out of his train of thought. "No one had even manage to survive that spell before, except my fellow kin." His eyes turn emotionless as a frown decorated his face. "You have my respect, Natsu Dragneel, but I'm afraid that this fight is over."
Faster than the eyes can see, Azuma appear in front of Natsu and delivered a shocking left hook, sending Natsu upward, spitting out a few bloods. "Haaa," exclaimed Azuma as he held his arms forward causing two tendril of roots to appear out of the ground and wrapped around Natsu, who was too low on magical power to do anything. The roots suddenly bought Natsu back toward Azuma, the latter had his right arm cocked back, with a green aura surrounding it. "Great Tree Arc: Fist of Astra," exclaimed Azuma as he slam his fist at Natsu's stomach sending him sky high. When Natsu was about 100 feet above ground he exploded, literally a huge explosion occur, with Natsu in the center. Azuma just stared nonchalantly at the explosion, while the blonde girl was trying her best not to cry, failing miserably.
When the explosion finally end, a limb body of Natsu can be seen falling from the sky, ultimately crashing into the ground, causing a cloud of debris to encompass him and the surrounding area.
With the debris clear, Azuma and the blonde hair beauty could see that Natsu was lying, face in the ground. With a final look at the raven hair teen, Azuma turned toward the blonde girl who was tearing up at the sight of a bloody and battered Natsu. With the duel over, the golden magical seals disappear, the dark cloud surrounding the area also disappear, revealing the sun.
"If he would've handed you to us in the first place this wouldn't have happen," stated Azuma causing the blonde girl to tuen toward his direction, and she was surprise that he was a near five feet away from her. "It's his fault for interfering in our business."
"Stay away," screamed the blonde girl as she tried to crawled away from him, but it was futile as he was faster than her. The girl didn't understand what they want with her. She was just on her way back to the Blue Pegasus Guild after finishing one of the request when out of nowhere five dark Mage came and attack. She spent to much magical energy on her mission so she didn't have enough power to fight back.
When all seems lost the infamous Salamander of Fairy Tail came and save her. She like everyone else around Fiore have heard of the Fire Dragon Slayer. Of how he took on a Dark Guild by himself or stop an army of Vulcan. It was like every girl dreams. To have the Salamander rescued them from evildoer.
She was very fascinated at how Her savior, Natsu, defeated the four dark mages like they were nothing. The he was able to fight against a member of the Seven Kin of Purgatory to a standstill. She was scared when he took all that damage from the tornado of razor sharp leaves and furious when the dark Mage didn't gave Natsu time to rest and just keep beating him. The sight of the unmoving Salamander caused her to tears up and her rage to build up. She was beyond angry, beyond furious, she wanted vengeance for what Azuma did to her savior.
"Give up or your fate will be worst than the Salamander," stated Azuma, but it seems that his threat fell to deaf ear as a yellow magical seal surround the blonde girl right arm.
"Take-Over: Machina Soul: Plasma Arm," exclaimed the blonde hair mage as her right arm became covered by red leather. A midnight blue, circular gauntlet, with a green gem in the center, was attached to the leather. In front of the gauntlet, there appear to some sort of cannon, with the roman numeral for three. "Plasma Storm," exclaimed the girl as the gem glowed and the cannon released a beam of swirling green plasma, that was about the size of her thigh. Azuma was surprise that the blonde still had some magic left so he wasn't prepare to dodge. The beam collided with him, sending Azuma a couple of feet back.
The blonde girl shakily got to her feet and pointed the gauntlet at Azuma. Realizing a heavy pant, the girl gathered magical energy into the gauntlet, the green gem glowing magnificently. "Plasma Reciprocal Unlocked," exclaimed the exhausted girl as a ball of compressed plasma energy, the size of her head, gathered in front of the cannon, before getting suck into the gauntlet. "Released," exclaimed the blonde as a powerful beam of compressed plasma energy, three time the size of the last attack, was sent toward the dark mage who finally got over his shock and slam his right arm at the ground.
"Great Tree Arc: Svalinn," as a a tree trunk appear from the ground, intercepting the attack that might cause him his life. It seems that the girl was really angry to use a lethal spell against him. Azuma then quickly ran up to the blonde girl and punch her in the stomach, sending said girl toward the ground, barely conscious.
"That was a powerful technique," stated Azuma as he look at the girl, who somehow manage to stand up. "But it's seems to use every last bits of magical energy you have left," he noticed that the gauntlet was nowhere to be seen on her arm. "Surrender now. You have no chance of winning," stated Azuma as he walk toward the blonde girl.
"Yo-ou bast-ard," spat Jenny as she glared at the person who caused her so much pain. Azuma didn't seem affected by that as he continued walking toward the inured teen. However before he could reach her, a dark and malicious aura exploded, making him look toward the direction where it was coming from. What he saw scared him greatly.
It was Natsu Dragneel. Said Dragon Slayer was on his feet, glaring at Azuma with that blood red eyes of his, with a dark red aura encompassing him. What was truly scary was the fact that his pupil was gone. Azuma knew all to well what this meant. It meant that Natsu had awakened his Second Origin, and the power that he's radiating is his original power. The power he had since birth, before being taught the Fire Dragon Slayer Magic.
Before he can process his thought more, Natsu was in front of him, delivering a punch to his jaw, the force of the punch sent Azuma flying back.
"Aaaarrrgggg," cried Azuma as he put his hand on his jaw, and widen his eyes in shock. His jaw was rotting, the skin was burnt off, and seems to be spreading every so often. He then turn around and was shock to see that Natsu was in front of him again, but this time he saw that Natsu's fist was surrounded by dark energy.
"Dark energy, flesh rotting, no way," thought Azumaas he was punch again, and sent toward the sky. "There's no doubt about it now," he thought as his hand caress his rotting stomach. "This is Death Magic. Master Hades need to be inform at once." Before he could finish is thought a barrage of dark sphere was sent at him. Thinking quickly Azuma put his arm in front of him. A green magical seal appear in front of them. "Great Tree Arc: Linear Explosion," he exclaimed as multiple explosion appear where the dark spheres were at.
Azuma, however, did not have the time to celebrate since Natsu somehow appear right next to him, his arm outstretch and covered with black aura. "RRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR," roared Natsu as he punched Azuma right in the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of said mage and send him crashing back into the ground.
"Aaahhh," groaned Azuma as he crawled out of the crater that was created after he crashed down. Looking ahead he saw that Natsu was standing there, observing him like a hawk. His pupil less red eyes were emphasized by the black aura that was surrounding Natsu. "I had enough of this," muttered Azuma as he quickly got up and glared at the animalistic Salamander. "I've had enough of you," yelled Azuma as a forest green aura enveloped him, causing the ground underneath him to sink down because of how dense his magical energy is. "Aaargg," screamed Azuma as he held both his open fist out. "Great Tree Arc: Forest Compensation." As he said this a green magical seal appear underneath Natsu as many tree started to emerged out of the ground. In a very few moment a small forest appear, with Natsu in the center. "Die!" screamed Azuma as he closed his fist, causing the entire forest, that he created, to blow up in a massive explosion.
"Ha, ha, I got you," rasped out Azuma as he stared at the smoke that was covering the Dragon Slayer. His eyes suddenly widen. "No-o way," muttered Azuma as he stared at an unscratched Natsu who was surrounded by what seems to be a sphere of dark energy. Azuma closed his eyes, excepting defeat. "You won. Natsu," he muttered as a dark blade extended from the sphere and stabbed him in the stomach, causing blood to splash out, making him lose conscious. He was too tired. Physically and mentally.
Natsu, in his animalistic rage, was about to finish Azuma off for good, but a teal, round lacrima suddenly impact him in his stomach, sending him backward. Turning around he growl as he saw two women in black cloak. One with pink hair while the other has glossy, raven hair.
Before Natsu can do anything a teal, round lacrima suddenly flew up, catching the Dragon Slayer's attention.
"Arc of Time: Parallel Worlds ," whispered the raven hair girl the teal lacrima multiply to 50. "Arc of Time: Luminous Minutes," she stated as she snapped her finger, causing the fifty lacrima to rushed toward Natsu at unimaginable speed, leaving golden streak where it was. The 50 lacrimas impacted Natsu, causing a large crater to appear underneath him, and smoke to be uplifted. When the smoke clear, Natsu can be seen unconscious on the crater.
"Do you want me to finish him off Ultear," asked a feminine voice of a girl who was barely 4'10, a dark red cloak with Grimoire Heart insignia was what she was currently wearing.
"No it'll cause suspicion if the Salamander would died suddenly," stated another feminine voice, but this time it belong to a female who was towering over the shorter girl. "Just grab Azuma and take him to the Air Ship's Infirmary. I'll report the incident to Master Hades," commanded the girl as she turn toward the direction where the blonde girl was, said girl was unconscious now though. Its seems the combine energy of Natsu and Azuma was too much for the young mage to take.
"What about the target Ul," asked the girl as she picked up Azuma onto her shoulder.
Ul, or Ultear's head snapped toward the younger girl. "Don't call me that," she snapped causing the young girl to look down. A wicked smile suddenly appear on her face. "Beside, it was Azuma's mission to capture the girl. Let him take the fall." Ultear suddenly turn around, 180 degree before walking forward. The stop. "Lets go, Meredy."
