Hello and welcome back to another chapter. Before we begin I would like to say thanks to everyone who continues to support all of my stories, you're the best. Now it's been a while since I last made a chapter for this story, don't worry because here's another chapter to keep your desires satisfied for now. I'm sorry for those who want me to keep this story going, but the time has come soon for me to bring this story to a close. Shortly after I post this chapter, there will be a poll on my profile for a very important topic, please take the time to answer it. Once again I don't own anything related to Rosario + Vampire or Fairy Tail. Now without much else to say, Let's get started.

Fire Dragon's Iron Fist
Outskirts of Yokai Academy
We rejoin Natsu and his friends as they are standing on a Cliffside looking up at a floating island. This island, or fortress rather, serves as the main base of operations for the group who is currently in the process of resurrecting Alucard, the same group whose scouts had been sent to patrol the area near Yokai Academy, the same group of said scouts' who received a brutal beating before leaking information on the location of the main base of operations. Which said base happened to be a large floating city, with a barrier similar to the one Yokai Academy. "So this is the place of their hideout?" Natsu asked. He didn't show it on the outside, but internally his stomach was reeling at the presence of yet another moving city. Not noticing her friend's discomfort Moka answered. "Yup this is the place." Tired of just standing around and doing nothing, Kurumu transformed into her Succubus form, expanded her wings, and then flew off towards the floating city. Turning back to the others "Come on and hurry up. You guys are gonna miss all the fun." She called out with a smirk. Returning her smirk with a grin of their own the group transformed and flew off towards the floating city, home to one evil group known as Fairy Tale.
One flight later
Having just touched down at the outermost edge of the floating city, the group got together and formed a plan. "So we will form three teams, Team A will go and search for and take out the elite members in Fairy Tale. Teams B and C will head for the room where they're commencing the ritual. Team B will the one who takes out the main force while team C goes and splits off from there to seal off the entrances, no one gets in or out once team B is inside the chamber." Said Tsukune before he paused looked around and did a quick headcount. Coming up to a total of 6, he did a quick calculation in his head before speaking up once again. "Actually scratch that, team C will split between Teams A and B, giving each team a total of 3 members. Team A will consist of Mizore, Kurumu and Ruby. Your job is to handle the elite members of Fairy Tale. Team B will consist of Natsu, myself, and Moka." As he was about to continue, he internally sighed when he heard Kurumu speak up. "ABSOLUTLY NOT! I SHOULD BE THE ONE ON TEAM B WITH MY BELOVED NOT THAT PINK-HAIRED BRAT!" said statement was met with an angry retort from both pink-haired teens on said team, the male of said pink-haired duo quietly added that his hair was salmon and not pink. While the others sweat dropped at the lack of specifics Kurumu used. "Sorry Kurumu-chan, but we need the best fighters we've got to go and stop the ritual." Replied Tsukune. After some more convincing, Kurumu finally although reluctantly gave in. "Alright, but as soon as we're done, I'm gonna head straight for you guys." She said. Tired of all this discussion and no action, Natsu spoke up. "Enough talk, let's go and beat these guys already." Deciding that further discussion would be pointless. Everyone split up to complete their objectives.
With Team A
After running for some time down a corridor, the group ran into one of whom they assumed to be one of their targets. Though at first they didn't realize that what they ran into was indeed one of their targets considering that there was only the upper half set of samurai armor floating in place. A few minutes of staring at the floating armor piece with neither side taking action, Ruby finally placed who this seemingly possessed set of armor belonged to. "This is Gairen Yuki leader of Fairy Tale's 6th subdivision, and rumored to be a disciple to the Masked King who happens to be the founder of Fairy Tale." She said. Gairen did not give a verbal response to her statement, instead he unsheathed his sword and got ready to strike.
As they were about to engage in a fight, it was at this moment two more figures entered the fray, the first one was a young girl whom seemed to resemble that of a child. Said youngster was wearing a sailor fuku like dotted dress, if one looked closely they would also notice that the girl happened to have a pair of matching ribbons tied into a bow, one for each of her pointy horns. While the other one seemed to appear like a refined gentleman. Sporting a black top hat, with a solid black suit, and a pair of black leather shoes. "Now-now, 3 on 1 seems a little unfair." Said the girl. Irritated to no end, Kurumu spoke up. "Oh? And who might you two be?" upon hearing the question, the girl threw a small tantrum. "To think these trespassers came here and picked a fight with us and they expect us to give them the honor of knowing our names." The girl paused before taking a glance at her companion, getting a nod of approval, she continued. "Very well, since you're so eager to know the names of the ones who will end you, we will indulge you since it won't actually help you. My name is Routier, and my master here is Xio-Long Miao. Together we are in charge of Fairy Tale's 7th subdivision." Upon hearing the name and the title the group instantly tensed up. All of them knowing that defeating their opponents the fast way is no longer an option if they all want to make it out of this alive. Both sides got ready to fight, before charging straight for each other.
With Team B
A few minutes after splitting up with Team A, Team B was heading in the other direction towards the chamber that holds Alucard's body. Encountering minor resistance by several groups of underlings, the team simply smashed right through everything standing in their way. Coming to a stop in a rundown courtyard in front of what looked like what had once been a small temple. Sensing a vast amount of Yokai being gathered inside the temple the team proceeded to enter the temple. Upon opening the doors, they were caught off guard as something blurred right past all of them. Unfortunately, while Moka and Tsukune were able to dodge the collision with whatever sped right past them, Natsu was hit full force by the blur sending him flying backwards til he impacted with an old brick building. The doorway they attempted to head through sealing shut, leaving Natsu alone to face off against his opponent.
Standing back up Natsu senses someone in front of him and looks up at his opponent. What he saw was a tall muscular man with long bright hair, wearing a black military officer uniform with dark yellow embroideries. "Tell me your name so I know who I'm gonna give one hell of a beating to." All Natsu got was booming laughter in response, before the man replied. "To be honest, I like you kid, you remind me of myself, always brave. I can also sense that you're very powerful despite the fact that you're more human than anything else. My name is Raika leader of the 5th subdivision of Fairy Tale and you're opponent." "Alright then, name's Natsu Dragneel. It was an honor to meet you, now it will be my pleasure to beat you." Letting out another booming laugh, Raika gave Natsu a smirk, with Natsu returning it. Not even two minutes later of just standing around, both combatants fly straight at each other at blinding speeds.
Sorry but that's all for this chapter. Now the poll is over and the results are in. Based on popular demand, this story will be officially adapted as the 3rd branch story of ANEA. Which means that since Natsu is still more or less right now at the same power level he was in canon during the Alvarez Arc, and ANEA's Natsu at around the same time would be at triple the power of Gildarts and God Serena combined. Which also means that no Natsu will not become one of those characters that instantly becomes massively OP over the span of 2 chapters. Another good thing to come from this poll is that while I'm still in debate whether or not to implement my ANEA and ANEA branch stories should always have a harem. For this story, right now the pairing is only one pair and that is Natsu x R+V girl. What'll most likely happen is that I will make a sidestory of this one and add the harem in those ones. Have an unanswered question? PM me. Got something to say? Leave a comment. Absolutely hate this story with your entire being? Why are you still here reading this story if it's so bad? For those wondering about my 2nd branch story for ANEA, if I remember correctly which I do, I already am in the process of developing the 1st chapter. Said 2nd branch story will be in the Fairy Tail (canon) Universe so keep an eye out for its release. Other than that I don't have much else to say, so I will see you when I see you.
