Sync
"Master…" Natsu said throwing the book to Makarov who catches it in his arms while glued in his spot.
"Thanks for trying to clear my name.." Natsu said feeling some power return after taking a little rest. "Interesting book to read…"
"What!? You read the whole thing!?" Makarov said surprised. "How could he..unless he remembers"
"But too much words" Natsu said crossing his arms behind his head. "So just skipped to the most important chapters...even that is too much"
Natsu starts walking to Yusei slowly not feeling hundred percent but enough to reach him. His eyes shift to the left where Lucy and everyone is then to the right where his guildmates are trapped in. Lastly, to Slayer who has a grin on his expression. He growls at him but turned his attention to Yusei.
"So your name is Yusei….I have something to say to you!" Natsu said pointing a finger to him. "Why the hell didn't you tell me you were the crimson slayer when I was in prison!"
"Uh?" Lucy said tilting her head confused along with everyone else.
"You two already met" Gray asked Natsu.
"I remember that toned voice and smell anywhere!..you were the voice behind the wall...calling me weak" Natsu said cracking his knuckles. "I'll show you whose weak!"
Natsu raises his fist but freezes in place once a spike made of darkness is near his neck. The spike is connected to Yusei's back who had a cold expression.
"Careful who you pick a fight with...you will end up, losing" Yusei said, narrowing his eye at him.
"This is no time to pick a fight!" Kira yells. "Since you two are able to move...work together!"
"That was my plan.." Natsu said in a serious tone, putting his fist down.
It surprised Lucy getting that reaction from him. When he's angry and wanting a fight, he normally will get it but this time Natsu wanted something else. Looking at his face, Lucy can't tell what he's thinking. It changed somehow.
"I have a deal for you Yusei" Natsu said to him which causes Yusei to retract his weapon."help me...save my friends and I'll share my power with you through synchronization"
"How do you know that word?" Yusei asked, surprised finding someone else learning of that ability.
"In the book of secrets..there is a chapter that talks about it...synchronization...I didn't believe it at first but from what has been happening to me...seems like we sync a few times before..but partially...but I'm pretty confused how it worked if we never met before...so it has to do with some connection..possibly." Natsu said with a grin, and rubbing his chin. "Our fathers"
"Fathers?" Yusei said confused on what he's talking about.
"ya..I'm the son of the fire dragon king..Igneel!" Natsu shouts proudly. "And yours is Nexus"
"...fathers" Yusei said with a chuckle that soon turns into a laugh.
"Uh?" Natsu said wondering why he's laughing.
This isn't an ordinary laugh either, one that is uncontrollable. Yusei was laughing so hard that his stomach started to hurt and tears appear at the corner of his eyes. Kira eyes blinked a few times.
"Wow..never seen him laugh like that" Kira said shock.
"Me either.." Erza said feeling a little happy seeing Yusei letting out a laugh.
"Why are you laughing at!?" Natsu asked annoyed.
Yusei wipes away the tears and looks at Natsu calming down a bit.
"You think a dragon is your father" Yusei said to him.
"Well adopted..I'm not that dumb" Natsu said crossing his arms.
"Either way...Nexus isnt a father to me" Yusei said changing into a serious expression. "He's nothing but...a prisoner in my body who is paying me with his power for staying in me for all this time.."
Crimson fire swirls around his right arm.
"These flames belong to me…" Yusei said and a swirl of darkness goes under his flames. "Along with the darkness...I don't plan to let anything control me..."
"Wait he's inside you!?" Natsu said trying to imagine a dragon being in his body.
Yusei clenches his hand and looks at Slayer. He knew that in his current state, he does not have the power to stop him unless he gets more power.
"I will take your deal…" Yusei said raising his fist to him. "Just know...syncing with me...isn't a easy thing..so try to keep up"
"We haven't had a proper fight to decide which one of us is stronger...don't underestimate me" Natsu tells him, hitting his fist against his.
"Synchronization" Yusei thought and suddenly, a circle mark appears on top of Yusei's left hand and Natsu's right hand. Three wavy lines appear in the circle that glows golden. Their physical features change as well. Yusei's left eye changes from brown to black and Natsu's right eye changes from black to brown. The left half of Yusei's hair changes from black to pink only the front portion. The same with Natsu but reversed.
Yusei feels a strong pulse coming from the middle of his chest. He can feel Natsu's energy flow rapidly in him. As well as a charge of his energy. His eyes widen hearing the noise around him getting louder and the smell getting stronger. "What's happening" he thought feeling light headed.
OOO
"Seems like you're dragon slayer abilities are awakening" said a deep voice from a tall dragon within his body covered in red.
"You.." Yusei said turning to Nexus with a glare.
"Do you always have that look" Nexus said to him.
"What's happening to my senses, dragon" Yusei asked in a rude tone.
"Syncing with a dragon slayer….is actually awaking another thing I gave you...your senses will be sharpened but your magic-"
"I thought I told you..I don't want to be trained by you" Yusei states clenching his fists.
"Well you don't have a choice….your still weak...feeding off the darkness you collect...will lead you in a place of defeat"
"Tch." Yusei said covering his fist in crimson flames. "I'll show you my power...I will become strong and burn the darkness!"
"So, control your new power then own your own!" Nexus said annoyed. "Can't believe the human I found is someone so...blinded"
"Grr..just wait...I will defeat you somehow" Yusei states with confidence. "With my own strength"
OOO
Yusei can feel the pulse disappear within him. His eyes turns into slits. A burst of fire comes from underneath him. Both crimson and orange. He clenches his fist and narrows his eyes at Slayer. He dashes right for him with a speed boost. He feels so light and energetic.
"I will take both you out" Slayer said putting his sword horizontally forward.
The darkness covers Slayer and starts to absorb the energy from the trapped guild members. Slayer smirks and starts cutting the air creating waves of energy heading toward Yusei who just keeps running forward.
A wave of crimson flew above Yusei, making contact with Slayer's attack creating a big explosion. Yusei kept on running knowing already who used his flames. Natsu stands behind him a fair distance with his left arm out covered in crimson flames.
"This power" Natsu said to himself, staring at his left arm.
He clenches his left hand and begins running feeling so eager to fight. His grin proves it. He feels himself enveloped in flames yet doesn't feel the burn. Its feel more like a shield to him. He matches his speed with Yusei who had his eyes set on Slayer. Natsu shifts his eye slightly to Yusei who looks so determine to kill Slayer he can even feel it through the synchronization. The raging emotion deep inside him is Yusei wanting to explode but there is more to it.
"Just die.." Slayer said, pushing himself toward them with his sword covered in energy.
Yusei is directly on Slayer's path. He narrows his eyes at him, covering both his arms in fire. Natsu can sense he will jump and strike Slayer but instead he grabs his wrist. Yusei twist his body and lifts Natsu off the ground a little and swings him to Slayer while he lets go right when his feet leave the ground.
Slayer eyes widen staring at Natsu who comes closer to him showing no fear in his expression. He just had confidence and a wave of fire pushing him forward to him.
"Fire dragon:...IRON FIST!" Natsu screams throwing his powerful punch right at Slayer who guards himself with his sword that shatters when contacting with his fist.
A big explosion occurs shooting Slayer into a building with fire on him. Natsu lands on the roof and looks up seeing Yusei soaring in the air to the barrier trapping the guild members. He widen his eyes and locks his fist when he is right above the barrier. He breathes in. A memory enters his mind belonging to Natsu about him using a dragon slayer move.
"Crimson dragon.."Yusei said with body glowing crimson. "ROOAAAR!"
A burst of crimson fire comes down like thunder toward the barrier and spreads when making contact. The force of it creates cracks on the barrier. The fire disappears and Yusei gets closer to the barrier, with one fist consumed by fire. He smashes his fist against the crack and shatters the barrier which he enters right after.
His new senses are going wild being in a space filled with negative energy that warns him to run away but he doesn't plan to. The only thing he can do is, take. He puts his hands forward and slowly absorbs the dark energy from the guild members. The darkness lingering in each of the member slowly leave their body and into Yusei who can feel his heart racing. The darkness envelopes him and brings up memories deep in Yusei's mind.
Natsu covers his right eye feeling a little pain strike his left side. He is getting random images in his head but all were dark and blurry. He grunts and uncovers his eye that his looking toward Yusei. He surprised to see a small boy chained up. A voice calls him snapping out of his thought. He blinks and the boy disappears.
"Natsu!" Lucy shouts again trying to get his attention.
"Lucy.." he replies turning to her wondering what she wants.
"Look out!" she screams again.
Natsu turned around and notices Slayer with a blade about to cut him, a few seconds away from him. His senses went crazy once seeing his eyes. They look cold and deadly.
From behind, Slayer gets wiped from behind by Yusei's darkness that came out of his hand. Slayer smashes into a building. Yusei makes it to Natsu's side.
"Thank you" Natsu tells him breathing heavily.
"Your not able to last long…" Yusei states to Natsu while glaring at Slayer. "You should know when you sync...your energy is shared and depends how much you have will decide how long it will last.. "
Yusei releases incredible amounts of fire that swirls around him in both red and orange.
"Well you have being using quite a lot then" Natsu said sweating and looks at Slayer. "But I have a plan to beat this guy...he won't stand after this"
His right side gets consumed by his orange flame that spreads wildly. He closes his eyes and gets an image of a spell unknown to him but its imprinted in his mind for a reason. Yusei shifts eyes his to Natsu wondering what he has in mind.
"Release everything...let's cause a huge explosion!" Natsu said with a wide toothy grin.
OOO
"Is it getting hot in here" Levy states waving her hand to her self.
"When you have two flame heads in one place...you should already be aware..things will get hot" Gray said with sweat sliding down his naked chest.
"He saved everyone" Wendy said looking at Yusei.
"But he absorb the darkness.." Hisui states not liking it.
"There isn't any other way...to take out the darkness it must be taking out and put in someone else.." Kira states. "Yusei decides to be that someone"
"...you must know him quite well" Erza said to her.
"Hmm.." Kira said with a small smile. "A little...he still isolated himself...but slowly..he's letting people close"
Behind a broken wall of cement, Sting is seen with Rogue who were watching the fight.
"So cool!...another dragon slayer.." Sting eyes said with stars in them.
"Who is he? Never seen him in Fairy tail before" Rogue states.
"Don't know..but I can tell he's strong...just like Natsu" Sting said with a smile.
"Grugh.." Slayer said getting back up and spitting some blood.
He used too much of his power. He lost his charger when Yusei saved the people he trapped. He grits his teeth in anger. He glares at Yusei and Natsu who seem to be planning an attack.
"I won't lose here...not yet" He said in a deep tone.
If he has to in order to win, he will bring out the darkness he has collected and finish them. He gets consumed by the darkness that slowly becomes a sphere.
"Yusei!" Natsu shouts with his fire exploding from his left side while Yusei's fire is exploding on his right.
They lock their eyes on Slayer. Their heads get closer to each other, pulling their arms back a bit. Their flames soon turn into spheres hovering next to their fist then disappeared. It reappears in front of their fist with the synchronization symbol on it. The two spheres of their fire connect and merge.
"What are they doing?" Wendy asked curious.
"Unison Raid!" Natsu and Natsu shouts and punches their ball of fire right to Slayer that explode and grow in size and power. It expands to the point that the two flames turn into two dragons heading toward Slayer who couldn't believe what he is seeing. The two dragons merge into one whose mouth consumes Slayer.
The fire spreads and burst everywhere. It goes into the sky above causing ripples in the sky. The intense light of the two fire can be seen from the outside of Crocus also breaking the barrier around it.
OOO
The winds moves strongly, shaking the trees and bushes as well as awakening a mage who took a nap against a tree trunk. He wakes and stares at the horizon seeing part of the sky red. He closes his eyes and smiles. He goes back to his deep sleep on the small island called Tenrou.
OOO
The flames slowly vanish and Natsu falls on his knees breathing heavily. The synchronization mark disappears and his physical features return. Yusei hunches forward feeling drained.
"They did it" Lucy said with a smile.
"What a relieve" Levy said exhaling.
Hisui couldn't be more happy and scared at the same time. It's a weird mix of emotions but what matters to her is that the friend she made is still alive and saved her again.
Erza smiles and looks at Yusei. "Who would have thought you would be saving the day again" she thought and shift her eyes at Kira who didnt look happy.
"What's wrong Kira?" Erza asked.
"I can't move.." she states still not able to move her legs.
"What?" Erza said looking at the ground. "Which means.."
Coughing is heard. Slayer stands holding onto his right arm breathing heavily. He had one eye closed but his other barely open. He is covered in ash. He is all messed up yet his signature grin is still on his face.
"Do you think.." Slayer said coughing out blood. "You got rid of me...don't forget...I was part of you once"
Yusei eyes widen in shock sensing danger coming from his left. A hooded figure gave him a punch at his gut that lifts him up from the ground then gets kicked in the chest, into a wall that he smashes through.
"Yusei!" Kira and Hisui yells in a worried tone.
"You bastard-" Natsu said looking at the figure but falls forward.
He couldn't go on fighting. He lost to much power. He growls at the foot of the hooded figure until he smell his scent. He raises his head up to him with a look of shock.
"You can't be.." Natsu said.
"My weakness is here that I didn't have magic...so I find someone qualified...and haha..I found one" Slayer said with a evil laugh.
The hooded figure pulls his hood back revealing his face. Everyone is surprised to see a familiar face.
