Narrator's POV

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" A young dragon slayer, Natsu Dragneel,yelled as he and his feline companion, Happy, faced off in an aerial battle against Cobra, one of the Oración Seis, and his scaly friend, Cubellios. Below them was the city of Nirvana, which held a lost magical item within. One that changes light to darkness and darkness to light.

Cubellios, with Cobra on his back, swiftly dodged Natsu's fiery roar. "You just don't seem to get it, you can't hit someone who knows your moves before you can even make them." Cobra taunted. Natsu lit his fists ablaze and flew towards Cobra.

"Just shut up!" Earlier Natsu couldn't land a single hit on Cobra, now he has started landing multiple hot hits on him. Cobra was shocked at how many hits Natsu was landing, but once he collected himself, he grabbed Natsu's next punch.

"Not bad. No one's ever landed that many hits on me." He said as his arms began transforming. What were once his normal hands were now covered in crimson scales and took the form of dragon-like claws. "You're fighting the Poison Dragon now." At the very touch of Cobra's scales, Natsu recoiled his fist due to the amount of poison tht had just been pumped into him. "And once it touches you, you're as good as dead!"

"This guy's a dragon slayer!?" Natsu and Happy asked, shocked, in unison. Cobra grinned.

"Well I don't care! I'm still gonna kick your butt! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu charged at Cobra in a fiery blaze.

"Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" I giant snake like head made of poison appeared out of his magic circle and completely negated Natsu's attack. Once it broke trough, Natsu found himself injected with more of Cobra's poison.

"Ugh, crap!" Natsu grunted as Cobra grinned, already proclaiming his victory.

? POV

I slept peacefully in the cave I had taken refuge in for the past week or so. For something made of pure earth, I was surprisingly comfortable, possibly because I had grown accustomed to sleeping in a cave. I've been doing it for the past six years.

Suddenly I was awoken by a kick to the face. "Ahh!" I yelled as I fell to my side and hit my head on a rock. "Gr, dammit." I groaned as I rubbed my was to ease the pain I felt.

"I knew you were a heavy sleeper but this is ridiculous." My friend Leone pointed out. Leone wasn't a human, he was a talking red cat.

"What the hell are you-" I suddenly realized that the ground I was standing on was shaking and it got heavier and heavier every second. "Oh. I see what you mean."

"You haven't seen anything yet. Look outside." Leone said pointing outside the cave. I stepped outside and what I saw was quite the sight, a mobile city.

"And I thought I'd seen it all." I said.

"There seems to be quite the commotion going on above the city." I looked above te city and saw fire being shot out of nowhere and some other torrential substance countering the fire.

"Well whatever's going on, it woke me up in the middle of a good nap, and I get cranky when I don't get enough sleep." I said while I cracked my knuckles with an angry smirk. "Come on, you're flying." Leone strapped himself to my back and used his flying magic to fly us to where the torrents were being shot.

Narrator's POV

"Poison Dragon's Roar!" A giant stream of poison shot out of Cobra's mouth and hit Natsu and Happy directly. Happy could barely use hi wings due to the large amounts of poison he and Natsu were hit with. Both Happy and Natsu felt extremely numb and barely had any strength left. "One more hit ought to do the trick. Poison Dragon's Twin Fang!" Two large streams of poison shot out of Cobra's hands and encircled around Natsu and Happy. Just before the poison made contact with the two barely airborne wizards, another shout was heard.

"Darkness Dragon's Shadow Fang!" Another attack, similar to Cobra's, collided with Cobra's poison and his attack was burned to nothing. The countering attack was a duel stream of black flames.

"What!?" Cobra questions. Suddenly, Cobra's "mind reading" instincts kicked in and uncles underneath a fist of black flames. He prepared to punch his surprise attacker, but the mysterious man swiftly dodged his punch and hovered in front of Natsu.

From what Natsu saw, the stranger wore a black hoodie with the hood up and the sleeves torn off, slightly baggy pants but slightly slim as well. From what he saw, the stranger had approximately the same amount of muscle as he did.

"Natsu." The stranger called absent-mindedly.

"How the heck do you know my name!?" Natsu asked, prepared to fight this man as well.

"I should've known you were causing this kind of racket. It may have been six years since I last saw you, but I still remember the amount of havoc you can cause." The man responded, evading Natsu's question.

"Don't just blow me off!" Natsu yelled. Upon closer inspection Natsu noticed the man had his right arm completely wrapped in bandages. "Wait a sec. Wrapped up arm, Shadow Dragon Slayer magic, and you're wearing all black."

"Has it hit ya yet, Natsu?" The stranger asked turning to Natsu to reveal his long pitch black hair, and well trimmed facial hair.

"What was your name again?" Natsu asked.

"WHAT!?" The stranger asked, angered by Natsu's question. "It's Michael you idiot! Michael Williams!" He yelled.

Michael's POV

I got up in Natsu's face and pressed my forehead against his. "I never would've believed you could get any stupider you flame brained idiot!"

"What'd you call me!?"

"You got fire on your ears!? I called you a flame brained idiot!"

"If my whole body wasn't numb, I'd kick your butt up an down across this moving city!"

"Not like you could anyway!" While we were arguing I had forgotten about the guy and his snake.

"If the two lovers are done can we get back to the fight at hand!?" He asked.

"Fine by me!" Natsu answered hovering forward.

"And who said you're fighting!?"

"I got first dibs on Cobra! He's mine!"

"You can barely throw a punch, and Happy can barely fly, leave Cobra to me." I said seriously.

"He's right, Natsu. Let Michael take things from here. If we get hit by Cobra's poison again we're done for." Happy said.

"But..." Natsu felt the numbness in his body and finally gave in "Fine." With that I moved forward.

"Don't worry, I'll put in a good thrashing for you." I said cracking my knuckles. I ignited my fists in my black flames. Over the years the heat that was emitted from my flames had become more intense, I'm sure that Cobra could feel the heat from where he was.

"Whatever. I was getting bored with this chump anyway." Cobra said.

"And I'm already bored of hearing you talk." I charged at Cobra, reeling back my left fist. I threw punch after punch and kick after kick at Cobra but he dodged every one of my attacks. "Hold still!"

"Michael! He can read your thoughts!" Natsu yelled.

"He knows your every move you'll make before you do it!" Happy added.

"Ya could've mentioned this sooner!" I yelled in annoyance. I turned back to Cobra.

'Then I'll just shut down my mind.' I smirked and prepared another attack. I wasn't thinking of anything as my left fist collided with Cobra's cheek. The same process occurred when I punched him in the stomach and kicked the side of his face.

"What the hell!? I can't read your mind anymore!"

"Just gotta turn this baby off." I said knocking on my skull. "Now to get serious. Darkness Dragon's Night Shot!" I shot my black fireballs at Cobra and as if not being able to read my mind was enough, he couldn't even see the fireballs because they practically blended in with the night sky. Each shot made perfect contact.

"Poison Dragon's Twin Fang!" Cobra shot his poison at me again once he caught himself but I countered with my own attack.

"Darkness Dragon's Shadow Fang!" My own streams of dark flames encircled around Cobra's poison and disintegrated them before the moved for his chest. Luckily his snake flew out of the way. "Lucky bastard."

"Poison Dragon's Fang Thrust!" A snake shaped wave of poison was sent towards me as he dodged my Shadow Fang. I wasn't ready for it so I took the full blow and I started feeling numb.

"Gh, dammit."

"Are you alright?" Leone asked me.

"Just numb. You?"

"Same."

"I'll take the flying from here, I don't want you getting hit again." I ordered.

"If you're sure." Leone detached from my back and before my body could fall, I sprouted my own wings. Since they were made of my flames I just needed to focus on where I wanted to go, since there were no muscles in them.

"Nice wings. Hope ya don't mind if I clip them." Cobra swing his arms forward again. "Poison Dragon's Twin Fang!" He aimed solely for my wings, expecting for me to feel pain once his poison hit my wings. Instead my flames extinguished the poison on contact.

"Dumbass. These wings are made of pure flames, I won't feel pain if ya hit them." I explained, turning upside down for comedic purposes.

"Then let's see if I can blow them away! Cubellios!" Cobra's snake opened it's mouth an released a large amount of poison which surrounded it and Cobra. When the cloud of poison started to shrink and fade, I saw Cobra inhaling the poison.

"Poison Dragon's Roar!" He opened his mouth and shot the poison he just ate straight at me. I extinguished my flames and free fell to the ground, spreading my wings just before hitting the ground, Cobra's poison hot on my trail until he couldn't shoot any more. I flew straight up and, without thinking, delivered an uppercut to his jaw.

"Let me show you a real roar!" I inhaled deeply, intending to make this a big one. "Darkness Dragon's Roar!" A torrent of black flames shot out of my mouth and nailed Cobra, leaving severe burn marks on him. Luckily his snake caught him as he started to fall. I rushed forward to end this fight, but Cobra stood back up and lept off his snake and punched me square in the face, causing me to lose focus and lose my wings.

'Damn!' I just barely caught myself, spreading my wind and just before I crashed into the ground, as Cobra dived down ready to punch me square on the face with his scaly fist.

"You're through!" He roared.

I narrowed my eyes and instinctively shot into the air, at high speeds. Speeds so fast Cobra hesitated for a moment brief enough for me to take the opportunity at head slam my head into his stomach. I heard him hack something up, and not long after I felt his warm blood and saliva drip onto my clothes and flesh.

"I'll end you." My body temperature started increasing and soon enough I was completely enveloped in my flames. "Darkness Dragon's Rocket!" At my call my speed increased even further. I forced Cobra to hit Cubellios and take it along for the ride. Once we reached a high enough altitude I flipped is around and went from Rocket to Sky Raid. We crashed into the ground and I soon emerged from the dust, while Cobra and Cubellios laid motionless on the ground, greatly damaged.

Meanwhile I heard another crash. I turned around and saw Happy and Natsu on the ground, guess the poison has them worn out. To add insult to injury, since this thing was moving, Natsu had some serious motion sickness. Poor guy. Leone even fell to the ground once the poison kicked in for him. Before I could assist them something struck me from behind.

Even after taking so much damage from me, Cobra was still able to stand up, and even attack me. I fell to the ground and I started feeling sick like Natsu. I was so sol I couldn't focus on spreading my wings. 'He attacked me from behind when I wasn't looking! Coward!' I cursed in my head.

"Now I'll finish you! You and your friends!" Cobra stated enveloping his fists in his poison.

"I refuse to die now... at the hands of a coward like you!" I grunted.

"The first generation is dead. It's time for the second generation to rule!" He raised his fists but something stope him from attacking. It seemed he was struck from behind now. Cobra fell to his knees and I got to see his attacker.

The guy had long white hair, past his shoulders, tattoos covering his body. In his hand was a staff with a well decorative skull on top. He wore a black scarf, white cape and dark blue pants which were wrapped by white fur or something.

"That's enough Cobra. You may stand down." He said.

"Brain! But why!?" Cobra asked. Guess this Brain guy was one of his subordinates, I not his boss. "Are you mad!?"

"You've performed extraordinarily well. But it's time for you to rest." He sounded sincere, but something didn't seem right for some reason. Cobra started shaking. "I'm sorry, did you hear that?" Seems like Cobra read Brain's mind and knew what he was really thinking, and from the look of Cobra it wasn't nice. It must have struck a nerve cause tears were coming out of Cobra's eyes.

"How dare you. You traitor!" Cobra cursed. He turned to his snake, Cubellios and reached out. "Cubellios." After uttering the snake's name, Cobra fell to the ground.

And as he fell, Natsu tried to stand. "How could you do that to him!? He was your friend!" He tried harder to stand, but no dice.

"With the power I now posses, I will have no problem gathering friends who will much better serve me. Nirvana will make it so." He's gonna force people to do his bidding? Bastard!

"You don't make true friends with power an intimidation. All you get are puppets." Natsu said, furious with Brain's methods. I decided to follow Natsu's example and tried to stand as well.

"I can see that you promised Cobra something... to betray him, and take away whatever it was you promised him... you are truly despicable." I said.

"Why make such a fuss? Afterall, your powers are what I admire about both of you. It would do me good to have friends like you." Brain said smugly. If I wasn't so sick I'd kil his ass off this rock! "Or to use your terminology: to have you as my puppets." That's what made me snap.

"In your dreams!" I don't know how, but I somehow was able to find the strength to lunge at Brain. "RAAAAAAAAAAH!" I shouted, pulling back my fist of black flames. My shouts of anger meant nothing, because I left myself wide open for an attack from Brain. He countered with the same attack he hit Cobra with.

Then everything went black.

There ya go, this picks back up at the near end of the Nirvana Arc. I didn't wanna pick back up too early before the Edolas Arc, cause I also didn't wanna pick up right at the Edolas Arc.

Anyway I'm sorry again for the slow post but now I actually have time. Trust me the next chapter will be better then whatever the hell I just pulled out of my ass here.
