P.S I'm not that good at English so please bare with me ;P

THE WIZARDS AND THE LIZARD?

It was another blazing afternoon at Rad Dessert, dessert province of Fiore. The sound of fiery explosions echoed throughout the outskirts of Rad Oasis town and everyone in it heard it but dismissed it with no worries. The explosions had been happening for two days straight but only starts in the afternoon. Apparently, two mages were hired by the Rad Zoo to capture an escaped reptile that is only active at the peak hours of the afternoon when the heat was blazing.

"ROAR OF FIRE DRAGON" a breath of whirling flame came out of the mouth of Natsu the red haired fire dragon slayer, it was aimed at the elusive reptilian creature he was tasked to capture. The creature is called a Rad salamander, native creature of Rad Dessert it was a majestic rare creature, a crimson colored lizard with claws and talons sharp as razor, scales hard as steel but sleeker than silver and sharp yellow glaring eyes to intimidate it's foe but it's only active at the peak hours of the afternoon to hunt, it hides underground at night and on the morning to sleep. Like some reptiles it somewhat resembles a dragon and like a dragon it breathes fire though not exactly breathe but rather secrete a highly flammable liquid from its mouth that is set ablaze by the heat of the dessert and contrary to popular belief this reptilian creature is a vegetarian that eats the fire cactus native only to the desserts of Fiore. It can only grow up to 2ft tall though its size is small in comparison to a dragon it is considered a class A and 4th strongest in ranking, on the official monster hunters list.

The lizard whips its tail with might, easily repelling Natsu's breath attack making Natsu mad. "WING SLASH OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" Natsu continued to attack the lizard but with each attempt the lizard evades his attack by either burrowing in the sand or simply dodges with lightning like speed.

Natsu grew madder and tired with each blow but he shows no sign of giving up on the crimson lizard. "THERE'S NOW WAY IM GONNA LOSE TO A LIZARD LIKE YOU" He angrily shouted. The two foes pause, glaring at each other, waiting for the other to make the first move.

Meanwhile, Lucy the blonde blue-eyed celestial mage and Happy the blue winged cat was sitting on a corner where a large stone give's them shade from the heat. Lucy and Happy were covered in sweat, tired and thirsty they spoke in unison whilst breathing heavily "Naaat….suuu… give… up… that….lizard is... too… much…"

The lizard began its assault opening its mouth secreting a highly flammable liquid directed at Natsu, it burst into flames causing an explosion hitting Natsu. Smoke and flurry of sand covered the area clouding the lizard's view, when suddenly a fiery fist hits the lizards head making it stagger and stumbling on the ground but the lizard quickly regains it balance. Angrier and more hostile the lizard readied its talons. "Thanks for the meal, you almost got me there but it's my turn now NYAHAHAHAH!" said Natsu triumph. While Natsu was still busy boasting in triumph, the lizard dives in the sand like its water. When the crimson lizard dive out of the sand, Natsu snickered as he turned to his back and attack with all his might for one final blow "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST"

The crimson lizard was still on mid air but Natsu's fiery fist drew closer, it whips its tail with great might causing its body to whirl on mid air and with lightning speed its tail hit Natsu with a tremendous force on the face knocking him unconscious on the ground.

Dumbstruck, Happy and Lucy shouted in unison. "EHHH!?. NATSU LOST TO THE LIZARD?" The lizard slowly turned its glaring eyes at Lucy and Happy, it grabbed Natsu on the back of his clothes using its mouth and slowly, it moves towards them whilst carrying Natsu. The two ran like foxes, throwing dust of sands as the lizard chased them. "WHY THE HELL DID WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS JOB" Lucy shouted with a regretful tone as she grabs a key from her pocket. "GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL, TAURUS!" A cow carrying an axe with a masculine humanoid body was conjured and it spoke commenting on Lucy's body. "SHUT UP AND DO YOUR JOB" cried Lucy. Taurus swings his axed with great might but the lizard threw the unconscious Natsu like a rag doll blocking Taurus sight, preventing him to attack and with lightning speed the lizard moves and attack from the rear using it's mighty tail like a whip.

The impact from the tail was too strong sending Taurus back to the Spirit Realm. The lizard grabbed the poor unconscious Natsu again and then continued to chase the two. Lucy sent her other spirits but they too, was defeated by the lizard and Natsu getting knocked out every time he regains consciousness. "Lucy you're useless" Happy complained. "Like you're one to talk" she angrily replied. The two kept running that they didn't even notice they were already in the town heading towards the zoo. The people whom they pass by looked for a brief moment at the fuss of the wizards and the lizard but dismissed it like it was an everyday commotion. They continued running, not paying attention to their surroundings, but then a sudden stroke of bad luck Lucy trips on a rock and felled to the ground. Lucy lied on the ground like a rag doll, she couldn't move, the shadow of the lizard loomed on her view as she cower in fear she shouted. "Please don't eat me". The lizard gave a surprised look as if it were saying "Huh?" the lizard put the unconscious Natsu on her back. Happy and Lucy were dumbstruck "Huh?" Happy jokingly spoke "It was getting exciting" Lucy got annoyed as she threw a rock aimed on Happy's face. "Come here and help me, you damn cat" They look around and see that they were already in the zoo. Suddenly, the Zookeepers came rushing towards the lizard petting and hugging it. "RADSU! You're back, you bad, bad, boy" Upon hearing the name of the lizard that chase them Lucy and Happy with a face of dismay muttered "That name explains a lot".

A few hours had passed since Natsu's defeat; he woke up angry and grumpy "WHERE IS THAT DAMN LIZARD? GYAAHHH" Natsu didn't notice but he was already in a train. Lucy spoke. "I guess that thrashing gave you a cure for your motion sickness huh?" Natsu replied "Huh?" he suddenly felt groggy and unable to move. "You spoke too soon Lucy" said by Happy. Lucy mildly laughs as she drinks her ice tea. "Anyway, I'm glad the job was done without incident"

Lucy was so happy because this was one of the jobs that Natsu didn't end up blowing anything and their pay wasn't deducted. With the money she earned from this job she's rent free for 6 months as she was lost in deep thought of a rent free house, she burst into tears of joy.

It was already 3 o'clock on the afternoon when their train arrived at Magnolia. Lucy stretched her arms to feel the cold breeze. "Finally back" Natsu came out of the train still a little pale and groggy. "Hey, shouldn't we be preparing for our training for the Grand Magic Tournament" Happy asked Lucy as they walk along the station. "Well, what are we waiting for? So shall we?" Lucy replied.
