A/N: I was reading last chapter 9's reviews, and I was like, OH MY GOD. Am I really that terrible? So, sorry for the long wait. And thank you for those who greeted me! Here is the chapter 11, and more secrets are about to be revealed. :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail.
...o0O0o…
"Portal Heist: Open, gates of the Memory. Worst Nightmare."
Makarov's jaw tightened as he heard the incantations of the Saber mage. Portal Heist.
Mavis saw this, and she too, is quite amazed with the girl's power.
Portal Heist is a Lost Magic, and is a very rare magic indeed. It is known that there is only one person who can use this type of magic, for it is the type of magic that is passed from one person to another. Portal Heist is a magic where a mage can open portals, may it be from hell, or the heavens. And in this portal, she can either go in, make someone go in, or summon someone out. It's just like Celestial Magic, only that it opens up a lot of portals, and the mage can summon anything from that portal. Long story short, it is a very powerful magic. The last person known to have such tremendous power is Rin Yasuke, who recently died (for Makarov though) six years ago, a news Mavis heard from Makarov himself, who is quite fascinated with such powers.
Mavis focused on the girl, her heart still troubled about something. Is she a Fairy before? She can still feel a faint connection with the girl, as if the blonde can see Mavis with her own eyes.
Who are you, Golden Rose?
...o0O0o…
From the magic circle, black smoke started to flow out, spreading, covering the whole arena. Natsu lit up a fire, his sharp eyesight now failing him miserably.
Damn damn DAMN!
Natsu started running towards Golden Rose, his hands flinging into action. Fires engulfed his fist, but he can't still see anything. Just this damn, stupid DARKNESS.
"Now, Mr. Dragneel. You shall see the wrath of GOLDEN ROSE."
'Now what?' Natsu's mind is running a thousand miles already. Never, EVER have he experienced such terrifying power, that his knees started to buckle up. This darkness… there's something in it that sent his spine writhing.
"Mr. Dragneel. Face your worst nightmare."
Natsu gulped, and really, who won't be scared? Your enemy is a paranoid, and a powerful one that is. He tried looking for her, scanning the whole area, smelling her scent, which he memorized the moment they saw each other in the arena. But, NOTHING. It feels like he is the only one in this damned arena. And he too, is damned.
Suddenly, he felt something moved. He turned around, and the color from his face was drained.
"GET UP!"
...o0O0o…
Lucy tried to stifle a laugh, and she almost failed. If not only with her sessions with Rogue, she must have been laughing, or even trying to stop what she just summoned. But then, it's for Natsu's sake too. Facing your fears is good, right? But hearing Natsu's screams, she can't stop feeling pity for the poor Dragon Slayer.
"AAAHHHHHHHH! GET AWAY FROM ME! YOU MONSTER!"
"GET UPPPPPPP! I SAID GETTTT UPPPPPP!"
"I AM UPPPPPPPP!"
"GETTTTT UPPPPPPP YOU IDDDIOOOOOOOOOOOTTT!"
"SHHHHHHUUUUUUT UPPPPPPP!"
Lucy fell to the ground, pounding the floor with her fist. God, help her now. She can't stop laughing!
"THAT'S ENOUGH!"
Lucy stopped from laughing. She looked up, though she can't see anything due to the tears that formed in her eyes from laughing. Though, she can make out a faint view of Natsu. With his baring fangs. Fiery eyes. And blazing fists.
Oopsies.
"FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR!"
Oh, crap.
Lucy covered herself from Natsu's attack, and she almost yelped when the fire reached her cloak. She cursed under her breath, and she struggled to stand up without getting torched.
What a life.
The fire disappeared, and what's left is a burned arena, a gaping audience, a smirking Natsu, and a breathless Lucy.
"That's your power? Showing to me my counterpart?" Natsu smirked, his fists starting to glow again.
"It's not my fault that your worst nightmare is your mentally-retarded counterpart," Lucy shot back, irritation welling inside her.
"S-shut up," Natsu stuttered, his face turning into a deep shade of crimson.
"Enough with the show." Lucy's hands sprang into action, and another magic circle appeared.
"Portal Heist: Open, gates of the Doppelganger. I summon you, Acnologia."
...o0O0o…
The girl's spine tingled with fear, goose bumps beginning to form in her arms.
"Acnologia…"
Now, it's beginning to get interesting.
...o0O0o…
Natsu swear to Mavis, if ever he will survive this, he will never bug Gray about his stupidity.
Natsu gulped as the dark dragon let out an indignant roar. His experience in the S-class exams will never leave his mind. Even though he is alive and moving, he can't still stop on checking himself everyday in front of the mirror, looking at his feet if they are floating, and punching himself with his Iron Fist, which always gave Gray new ideas of pissing him off.
And now that he is looking at his greatest fear, he can't help but flinch every time the ground shook as Acnologia roar again. Cursing under his breath, he glared at the blonde girl, who managed to keep her identity at bay. But now is not the time for him to be curious. He still need to save a life.
His life.
...o0O0o…
"Is it done?"
The Exceed nodded, her lips drawn in a straight line. She looked at her partner, whose face is as beautiful as ever. Flowing, silver hair (Which was supposed to be black, but then it changed to dark blue, then to silver.), skin as white as snow, vivid blue eyes, and her famous smile, who will make every boy kneel down in front of her with a gun in their head, and they will pull the trigger just to see the girl smile before they die.
Okay, that was a little bit too exaggerated, but, as they say, she is an angel.
Lady Lynn, the Council's small, little angel.
But they never knew who she was.
No one does.
But not until they will see what they have prepared for them.
...o0O0o…
Natsu's breathing is coming so fast, and his lungs are burning with all the smoke that managed to get into his system. He wiped blood off his mouth. Oh, how his body ached. Bruises everywhere, cuts everywhere, blood everywhere. Damn, he can't even lay a finger on the monster! He glanced back at the girl who was supposed to be the one fighting him, not this stupid dragon. Anger boiled inside him when he saw the girl, sitting in a magic carpet (Where the hell did it came from?), a smirk evident in her beautiful face. And it seemed out of place. She is quite familiar though, but he can't put a finger on where he saw this girl.
Natsu fell into his fighting stance, growling at the dragon.
"HEYYY! ACNOLOGIA! Is that only what you can do?"
The dragon glared back at him, and the instant he said those words, he regretted it immediately.
Oh, how he regretted it.
...o0O0o…
So, the "worst nightmare" of Natsu is no other than himself. It is based on the OVA episode of Fairy Tail that revealed the reason of Natsu's scar in his neck. Natsu himself caused the scar. And for you to have an idea of what on earth I am talking about, you better watch the Fairy Tail OVA, and I forgot which episode. ^_^v
Natsu: Hey! What was that all about!
Me: Which one?
Natsu: The fight between me and Acnologia!
Me: Oh, that.
Natsu: You almost killed me there!
Me: I won't. You're my favorite character.
Lucy: But what about me? You hate me?
Me: Uh-
Lucy: You HATE me?
Me: No, I-
Lucy: I hate you too!
Me: So much for idiots.
