Talking -- "War, war never changes."

Thinking -- 'War, war never changes.'

Spell -- "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!"

{Beginning}

Natsu and Trina froze, both frozen in shock when they heard a menacing laugh behind them. They slowly turned around, cringing when they saw John and several armed men surrounding him. Each armed with firearms neither of them had seen before.

The guns had a purple liquid pulsating in them, crackling with purple energy. Tubes and various other wires protruded from the gun, glowing a dull magenta. It was connected to a pack on their backs, which appeared to be massive batteries. The gun it's self was big as Natsu's torso, and remembering the turrets, he could only shiver imagining what those could do.

"Ya see kiddo. I didn't trust you! Your too much of a 'goody two shoe's'. So I had to make sure you wouldn't go back on your deal. After all, I never intended to let you leave! That'd be a waste to let you roam loose, so I attached a little micro chip on you, with that I'm able to find you whenever I wanted! Isn't that great?! And I had these people following you just in case. They're perfect for stealthy things, 'cause I installed a invisibility device into their cloak as well as night vision, thermal goggles, and they don't even have a scent!.. So you know what happens now kiddo?"Jack asked coldly, with a deathly look in his eyes. And without giving Natsu a chance to answer him, he spoke.

"Zak, kill her."

Natsu's eye's widened when he saw the cannon like gun begin to shake and glow brighter. A small ball at the end had formed, and was rapidly growing into the size of a basketball, as energy crackled violently around it.

"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!" With less then seconds to react, he casted his signature spell faster then he ever has, feeling light headed from inhaling and exhaling so fast.

His roar impacted the purple beam savagely, tearing up the ground around the collision. The two juggernaut like forces struggled to overpower each other, each insanely strong. The two fought for dominance, until Natsu's roar was beginning to be slowly pushed back inch by inch. Veins on Natsu's neck began to protruded, pulsating angrily. The soles of his feet dug into the ground, albeit for naught as he was being pushed back along with his own spell. His pupils became near non-existent, and his sclera became red from the pressure he was making his eyes go through. Natsu's spine and neck popped out of place gruesomely, as he gave it his all to stop the blast from killing him and Trina.

His feet slipped out from underneath him, forcing him to dig his fingers into the ground, as his knees slammed into the ground brutally, fracturing his knee caps, and nauseating him. His fingers were bloodied and broken, from desperately trying not to get blown away from the clash of magic and the unknown substance.

With his magic dwindling, he gave it one final surge of anything he could scrape up from within him. Pain erupted in him as the last of his magic was used to push the beam back, just as his magic surged, the purple beam began to fade rapidly, letting Natsu's Fire Dragons Roar push back, overpowering it. It hit the man with the cannon like device, who fell unconscious when it hit him like a freight train, blowing him back hundreds of feet away.

Natsu took a ragged breath, immediately going into a coughing fit, hacking up a glob of blood. He wheezed as tears fell from his dry eyes, some dirt had gotten in them from the gale of wind, which caked his entire body. his hands were bloodied from his fingers, which looked like they went through a blender.

Silence enveloped the area, shocked at the display of power, and his determination to protect some person he had met a few days ago. Until he slowly got to his feet, a feat that made everyone gawk.

He stood silently, his ragged breathing painfully loud, till he raised his head to look directly at John. Neck popping sickeningly, as bones settled back into place, the force of the roar had bared down onto him directly, placing an immense amount of pressure on him.

His eyes pierced through John's very soul, brimming with rage and animosity. John took a step back in surprise, the hairs on the back of his neck stood up on ends when he heard him speak.

"I'll.. I'll ma- make you regret ever.. knowing me.. when I'm done with you. I'll make your defeat excruciatingly painful, I won't kill you, but you'll be spending the rest of your life behind bars.. If you harm a single hair on Trina's head, I'll find you. No matter how hard you try to hide!" Natsu threatened hoarsely, coughing red mist during so. But even so, the intensity behind his words were preeminent enough to be cut like a hot knife through butter.

'He would go this far just to protect me?.. but.. why me?' Trina fell to her knees, tears fell from her eyes as she silently cried in joy and anguish, emotions overwhelming her.

John felt.. terrified. Something he hadn't felt since his wife died. His legs threatened to give out beneath him, he took a reassuring breath, struggling to regain his composure. which prooved to be a difficult task.

The atmosphere was palpable with tension. Waiting to see who would make the first move, which was the least expected person to do so. Who immediately regretted it.

"..Boss? Maybe we should just leave them be?" One of the men said timidly, nearly wetting his pants when he saw John's face. Changing from afraid, to fury in a split second.

"Don't you goddamn DARE! Say, we let them go after what it just did! Imagine what I could do with that power!? Hahaha! I'm going to have control over this beast, whether takes all my men!... Now. You'll be the first man to die."

John's speech transcended from rage to nigh insanity, he grinned wickedly, showing his pearly whites as he mercilessly shot him straight through the chest, blood spurted from the wound as he fell over. Landing with a thump, as the ground around him was stained red.

"Who wants to defy me now? HUH?!... Now, you pinked haired bastard, I think it's about time we end this whole ordeal. Whaddya sa-" John grinned ear to ear, as he spoke almost insanely. Gripped with the assumption that Natsu had lost. But he lost all if his conceited attitude when he matched eyes with Natsu's, who's eyes represented those of a dragon brimming with bloodlust.

His appearance changed drastically. Blood red scales coated his arms, from his hands to his shoulders, covering the majority of his face as well. Any other scales were obstructed from view by the remains of his clothing. His teeth gained half in inch in length and his pupils were black as charcoal, which contrasted greatly to his sclera, which had turned to a glowing amber. All of his previous wounds now ceased to exist, replaced by his scales. Causing John to gulp audibly, especially at what came next.

Pure rage rolled off him in waves, thick enough to be palpable, his hands were clenched so tightly, blood dripped from his hands where his nails punctured the skin, his knuckles had gone white from the pressure. He stayed like this for a few tense moments before he released a piercing guttural roar, into the area. Making everyone's ears bleed. They clamped their hands over their ears in pain, doing almost nothing to stop the sounds from getting to their ear drums.

It echoed for miles, scaring off any nearby wildlife. And engraving the sound permanently into those who heard it. By the time it had ended, they heard nothing but the ringing of their ears. So they were surprised when they realized Natsu had been talk for who knows how long.

"-Your gonna be in a world of pain, John."

Natsu launched at John in the blink of an eye, faster then anyone could see. He punched him in the gut, twisting his body into an awkward angel midway to land immediately afterwards, he sprinted towards one of his guards, socking him in the gut while forming a basketball ball size fire ball which was quickly thrown at the other guard. Incapacitating both of John's men with ease.

Flames burst out of both his feet, rocketing towards John again, liting his entire body on fire as he traveled at neck breaking speeds. Crashing into him hard enough to rupture every vital organ in his torso. Or so he thought, when a sound reminiscent of glass shattering happened instead. Blue glowing shards flew around John for a split second. Something Natsu brushed off as his imagination.

John flew across the hills like a weightless doll, dirtying and ruining his expensive clothe. Countless dirt and grass stains adorned John by the time he came to a stop, but that was the least of his worries.

"What the hell is this kid made of?! That could've ki- No.. no no no no no no! That, would not of killed me!.. I, would not of died to a pink haired bastard! And I, am going to murder the hell!.. Out of this 'sumbitch!.. Just need to let my shield recharge first.. Alright! Just about ther- Agh!" John grunted in pain when all of the air was forced out of his lungs with a brutal punch, by a raging Dragon Slayer.

Without giving him a chance to gain his bearings, and recharge his shield? Natsu was furious, only seeing red as he attempted to turn John black and blue with brutal punches. He created two large balls of fire in both hands, tossing them into the ground behind him, creating a giant explosion that propelled him forwards at unimaginable speeds, "FIRE DRAGONS SWORD HORN!"

John stared in shock as he sped towards him, covering the distance between them in seconds while tearing up the ground beneath him, a feat that proved how fast Natsu was going. Milliseconds before his life ended, a flash of blue enveloped John's vision. Giving him relief beyond belief.

"Ummpf!" John's eyes bulged as he was head-butted in the stomach, another glass like substance shattered, fading around him in a misty blue manner. John dug his feet into the earth, skidding back a few feet, before he could no longer keep his balance, letting the force carry him hundreds of more feet.

Natsu was relentless in his assault, already preparing another attack. Gathering as much flames as he could in both hands, he leaped into the air mashing both the flames into one massive ball of raging fire.

"FIRE DRAGONS BRILLIANT FLAME!"

John layed on his back, panting heavily from the physical abuse. Mind racing with plans to escape, though none came as even remotely possible due to Natsu's obscene speed. He groaned in frustration, 'How the hell am I losing to this loser?! I can't die here! Not when I'm so close to revi-' John's eyes widened in shock, his thoughts abruptly cut off when he noticed what was quickly approaching him.

A ball of red hot flames easily bigger then his company building was going to utterly turn him to ashes in seconds. John felt the immense heat from hundreds of feet away, his skin drying up in an instance. 'So this is it, huh?... Killed by a pink haird bastard... The universe sure has of way of being a dick... I'm sorry Angel.. I couldn't protect you from this shitty planet..'John felt the heat wash over him like molten lava, his every being screaming in agony, but he remained quiet. And then everything went black.

"Hah..." Natsu fell to his knees, drained of magic from his last attack. His scales faded away, leaving him im his previous state. Pain washed over him as he collapsed into a heap, consciousness fading from him. Moments before darkness over took his vision, his eyes widened briefly. 'Did.. did i kill him?..'

{End}

Hey! I finished the chapter! And I personally think this chapter was leaps and bounds better then the rest, but I dunno. Was this chapter better then the others, or worse? Also, the reference is so obvious I don't think it counts as a reference anymore XD You'd figure it out in a heartbeat if you played the second game. Anyways! Buh bye!
