Chapter 7: Natsu vs Gajeel
"What are you?" Gajeel asked trying to sound unafraid of the man in front of him.
"I, Gajeel am something that cannot be stopped by a pawn such as yourself in this game of chess." Natsu responded coldly. "So are we going to fight or would you like to just continue this conversation?" He asked as he cracked his neck and knuckles.
"Iron Dragon Scales!" Gajeel shouted covering his body in iron scales. "Iron Dragons Roar!"A thick beam of iron fired at Natsu at a fast speed only for it to hit the force field Natsu had surrounding his body.
"Is that the best you can conjour?' Natsu asked as he took a step forward. "You were stronger the last time we fought." He continued as he took another leaving flaming foot prints behind.
"Iron Pillar!" Gajeel shouted as his arm turned into an iron pillar and firing at Natsu only for Natsu to side step out of the way. Gajeel was getting angry he rushed at Natsu throwing a barrage of kicks and punches only for Natsu to dodge them all and finally counter with a knee to the gut then a spin kick sending Gajeel skidding across the ground on his back.
"Come on Gajeel your fighting as if you're scared." Natsu said walking towards Gajeel. "Is Black Steel Gajeel afraid of me?" Natsu asked coldly Gajeel could feel the power Natsu is emitting which makes him shake inside. He feels a shiver run down his spine. He then begins to wonder why he is still on the ground. He then feels a crack on a scale on his face where Natsu kicked him.
"Afraid of you?... Never. Though I can't say the same for your friends shaking in fear behind you." Gajeel said as he finally stood up.
"They may be afraid of me and after this they may look at me differently, but I will always defend them and if the cost is them fearing me then it is a sacrifice I am willing to make." Natsu said as he punched Gajeel in the face sending him flying again causing him to once again slide across the floor. "Though their opinion of me isn't the one I care most about."
"Ah. So you're girlfriends opinion of you matters most?" Gajeel asked standing up again holding his jaw. "To bad she isn't here to see the monster you have become." Gajeel replied launching himself at Natsu tackling him down before Natsu kicked him off.
"I told her everything I have become. Gosh Gajeel you sure do talk a lot now. Would you rather prefer we grab some tea at a local café?" Natsu asked mocking Gajeel making him angrier.
"Fuck you Salamander! Time to end you!" Gajeel shouted with so much anger it echoed through the city as he looked into the eyes of his opponent before his arm turned into a sword.
"Requip" Natsu said as a sword appeared it had a black and red hilt and a sharp blade as if made by the greatest blacksmith in the world. "This blade was made from the melted scales of my father." Natsu stated as he pointed it at Gajeel. "Bring it!" Natsu shouted as Gajeel charged at him. Their swords clashed against each others sending sparks as they clashed together. They moved at speeds hardly anyone could keep up with even faster than Laxus's lightning form.
Dust was blown with ever clash of their swords as well at the sound of booms that rocked the ground sending shockwave after shockwave. Gajeel could feel himself getting tired as well as his sword beginning to crack. His eyes widened in surprise in realization. His sword never cracked before. He pushed off Natsu flipping backwards in the air creating some distance between them.
Natsu appeared unaffected by exhaustion nor had he broke a sweat. His gaze as cold as it was a few minutes ago. His magic energy holding still at its range. Natsu shoved off the ground at speeds causing him to be invisible to the human eye as he appeared in front of Gajeel catching him off guard before landing a series of punches and kicks on the dragon slayer before landing the finishing blow sending him through the air crashing through several trees before finally coming to a stop. He walked over to Gajeel to see his unconscious state.
An explosion occurred catching Natsu's attention causing him to turn around and see Jose holding Erza by the neck as she was wrapped in some purple looking ropes over the edge of the hole above the ocean. Natsu then ran towards the machine jumping into the air as Erza's sword came rushing at her. He made it just in time to take the sword in her place only for it to be stopped by a giant hand. A hand that belonged to no other than Master Makarov.
"Jose!" Makarov shouted from atop the rubble behind Jose causing said man to turn around with a smirk.
"Makarov you live guess I'll have to end your life myself."
"Pay for your crimes Jose." Makarov said as he started gathering energy between his hand creating a ball of golden energy. "Fairy Law!" Makarov shouted as he smashed his hands together as they were all consumed in golden light.
A/N: I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Leave me reviews of what you think. The next chapter should be up soon and after that I will start the next arc only this time at the end so I can finish it in one or two chapters then start the next arc. Until next time. Also, sorry if the fight scene kinda sucked. This was the shortest chapter I have ever written. I also wrote it in a hurry. Sorry I haven't updated in a while had some things I needed to take care of.
