Natsu backed up into a corner. He didn't know why but he was breathing heavily. Sweat rolled down his face even though he was as cold as a cucumber.
"Come salamander." Minerva stretched out her hand. "No." Natsu tried his best to squish himself in the corner. "Never!" He shouted soon after. Minerva smiled.
She launched forward and kicked Natsu in the jaw. Holding his ground Natsu still stayed in the exact same position, only with a bruise forming on his chin. "Oh," she liked the idea Of trying to make him move. maybe it will end her boredness. "Niel Wielg Mion Terse Elcantaeus:" she stopped and smiled staring at the pinkett.
"Yagdo Rigora."
Suddenly a pillar of light came crashing down on his frail body. Natsu let out a scream of utter pain.
But he stayed put. He kept himself in the corner trying his best to stand.
Minerva walked forward and grabbed him by the throat. "Let me go." He started kicking his feet and holding onto her hands.
"Let me go!" He yelled. Cold sweat ran down his feminine body.
Then he let go from Minerva much to her surprise. Suddenly she felt great magic surround the two. "Let," Natsu started to tremble. He hasn't felt like this in a while. Strong.
"Me," Minerva started at the Dragon slayer waiting to see what happens.
"GO!" He screamed and bright orange flames irrupted from the ground and swirled around him. Natsu clenched his fist and screamed at the top of his lungs. Minerva frowned and let go of his neck.
She did not expect this to happen. She held her now burning hand and watched as the fire slowly died down.
Big Mistake, on Natsu's behalf.
Natsu took even deeper breaths than before. He used up what little magic he had and now he was tired and weak.
He fell to his knees. He was cold.
Colder than he's ever felt so far and now, he couldn't surpass it and ignore it.
Natsu's vision started to blur and colapsed onto the cold snowy ground.
Minerva smiled as she picked up the now passed out Natsu. "Sting." She called. Said teenager walked up and frowned at the sight.
To see his role model beaten and bruise an not by himself.
"Hold him." Minerva threw him. Stings eyes widened and he dived down to catch Natsu before he hit the ground. "Don't throw the merchandise," he smirked. "What if they get pissed navies he's beat up?" He continued.
Sting picked Natsu up and held him bridal style. Only Natsu's head hung back.
He saw how his skin glistened because of the sweat and how his breathing leveled so little. Some of his not long thick hair stuck to the side of his face while the others dangled on the side if Stings arm. Natsu's sleeping face actually looked peaceful, like what happened just know was a horrible dream from him and he would wake up any seconded.
"Sting," the sound of Minerva starched him out of his gaze. He looked over at his masters daughter. "Where's Rogue?" She asked.
Meanwhile...
Akio walked out form the bathroom minuets after Natsu left. "Princess?" He called. "Prince-" he suddenly got punched across the face. "Why you-" he stopped himself.
'Calm down Akio. You don't want to loose control.' He told himself.
He frowned and looked to see the attacker. "Rogue." He knew his name. He's done his research on almost all the guilds in Magnolia. "A member if Saber Tooth. A shadow dragon slayer." He continued. Rogue continued to keep his forever straight face.
"We are here for Natsu Dragneel." He spoke.
That name sounded far to furmiliar for Akio. He's become friends with most if the guil but he doesn't remember a Natsu. But even though he doesn't know him well, he still had to fight for his nakama.
"What do you want with him? Where's Miki? What have you done with her?" Rogues eyes widened slightly as he stared at Akio. He had come to a realization that Akio had no clue as to what was really going on. But Rogue didn't spoil and tell Akio what Natsu really is. He decided to let him find out by himself.
"We have her and are going to use her."
That was enough to send Akio over the edge. A dark aura surrounded the brown hair Mage. An evil smile appeared on his face and he tilted his head slightly with wide eyes. "Use her?" He asked slowly, ever so slowly, walking toward the raven haired madge.
"Use my Miki?" He asked shifting his head to the other side. Rogue didn't notice himself stepping back.
Black surrounded Akio and his grin turned into a frown. He stopped directly in front of Rogue and stared down at him. "I want to see you try, to use Miki."
Akio took a step back and held his hands up in the air.
"Anata no tame ni noroi:," he slammed his hands together. " Hisan!"
Rogue fell back. His heart ached and he clenched his chest. His body trembled and he looked up at the sky. Pain. It surrounded him and engulfed him with black fire. He bit his bottom lip to keep from screaming in agony but that didn't help. He let out a cry in horror.
Akio snapped out of his outburst. He noticed what he was doing and quickly called it off. Akio frowned. He let his power get the better of him again.
He looked down at the unconscious dragon slayer and thanked Mavis that he was still alive. "One of the lucky ones I guess." Akio threw the teen over his shoulder. He clenched his fist. He was still filled with anger and hate but he tried to keep it in.
After all he did have one of their own, and he could threaten and use this Mage here as a treaty of some sort.
All he knew was, if those bastards hurt his Princess, he'll make the rest of their pathetic life a living Hell.
