The Sixth Dragon Slayer
"So he's a dragon slayer." Erza breathed. "I wouldn't have guessed that" Carla said, "Neither would I." Wendy said. Her brother kept many secrets, but this was a big one. Now, four dragon slayers were in Fairy Tail, and two of them were brother and sister! It feels like he reveals something new every day, Wendy thought, he's incredible. While the audience gathered around the fight was speechless, Natsu could hardly contain his excitement, "We've got another dragon slayer!" he celebrated, "Could this be any frickin' cooler?" Nick gave a confused look and showed a little nervousness. "You're actually impressed by it?" "Heck yeah I am! Fairy Tail's got another dragon slayer!" Nick looked around and saw everyone's looks of wonder and amazement. "I used to use it when I was being hunted, but everyone kinda made fun of it, so I just stopped using it." "How could someone make fun of that?" Natsu asked, "Dragon slayer magic is awesome!" "It is," Nick said, regaining his confidence, "So I'll show you how a spatial dragon slayer does things." Spatial Dragon Whiplash!
Nick produced a violet whip from his palm, and hurled it at blinding speed towards Natsu, who couldn't dodge in time and was caught by his left wrist. "Have a nice flight!" Nick flung Natsu into the air, and yanked on the whip when Natsu was at the peak of his "flight", sending him crashing downwards, leaving a crater. "How many dents are you two gonna make in a day?!" Lucy shouted. "Who knows," Gray said, "Natsu's gonna make a lot, and Nick's already made a few." "Typical Nick." Grey shrugged, still perched on the ice wizard's head. "One thing's for sure though," Gajeel said, "These two are having one hell of a fight, and I wanna join in." "Of course you do." Happy sighed.
Relentless attacks from both dragon slayers shook the earth and air around them, and each blow was powerful Fire Dragon's Sword Horn! Natsu rammed into Nick, sending him backwards, but Nick readied another attack. Spatial Dragon's Astral Fang! A giant pair of jaws crunched down on Natsu and bursted on impact. Fire Dragon's Claw! Spatial Dragon's Claw! The two rushed in and they struck each other with their attacks, making a shockwave, that hurled them backwards and buried them into the wall. They both stood up shakily, breathing heavily and exhausted from their injuries and loss of magic. "I didn't think you'd last this long." Natsu said. "Me neither," Nick said, "Don't know about you, but this is kinda wearing me down." "Can't you just eat something else around here?" Natsu asked. "Ehmm . . . no." "Why not?" "Well with Spatial Dragon Slayer Magic, the user can apparently eat every form of matter regain magic, but I'm not that advanced with it yet. The only things I can't eat are solids, semi-solids, and air." "Gee, that rules out a lot." Lucy commented. "Hey, we can't all be perfect, blondie!" Nick shouted.
"You know what we should do?" Natsu asked Nick, making him turn around. "Since we're both pretty worn out, let's do one last attack, and see who's left standing." Nick thought for a moment, and a grin spread across his face as he slowly nodded. "I like that idea," Nick stood up as much as he could, trying to show he still had strength, but the most he could muster was a slouch. "You know the spell we should use?" Natsu asked. "Yeah," Nick answered, "When they collide, we'll know who's the stronger wizard." Natsu smiled and a flaming aura erupted around him, and a violet aura burst from Nick.
"What're they doing?" Lucy asked Erza, thinking she would know. "Isn't it obvious?" Erza said, turning her attention towards Lucy, "They're finishing this." "That doesn't answer my question, but alright."
"You better be ready for this, Nick!" Natsu shouted through the flames that engulfed him, "I'm pouring every ounce of magic I've got left into this one!" "Don't think I'll be holding back!" Nick shouted in response. "You're gonna get the hardest hit of your life!" Lucy noticed the look in Nick's eyes. They were alight with passion, like this would be his last battle. But then again, every battle he had beforehand could also have been his last. Was this passion normal for him, or was he trying to prove something to, not only Natsu, but all of the watching Magnolia. Lucy was broken from her pondering at Natsu's sudden shout.
Fire Dragon Roar!
Spatial Dragon Roar!
The two colossal blasts hit, and burst into what can only be described as a supernova like explosion. Everyone spectating tried their hardest not to be blown away, like a leaf in a hurricane. Trees snapped like toothpicks and sailed past the horizon, far beyond where the eye could see. Not much could be seen anyways, though, since dust blinded all sight. "I'm gonna be blown away!" Happy cried, clinging onto the ground for dear life. "Someone help me!" Grey shouted while holding onto Lucy's skirt. "Get the hell offa my clothes, fleabag!" Lucy yelled at the wolf. The billowing shockwave went on for what felt like hours, but finally it died down to a breeze. Lucy slowly relaxed and looked around at the devastation. There were no trees in sight, and some of the buildings actually appeared to had moved a few feet, but no one else was paying attention to what Lucy was viewing, as they were more intrigued in the main event. Natsu's clothes were tathered, and Nick's shirt had a giant gash in it, but there was something else on the wizards. Lucy stifled a gasp, as she realized they were both soaked in there own blood. Natsu's cloak and scarf had blood stains speckled across, while the gash in Nick's shirt was completely drenched in blood, but there weren't many other places where blood was. Blood was dripping from Natsu's right forearm, left cheek, and his lower chest. Nick was bleeding from his upper lip, right pectoral, and left hand. Lucy figured that these injuries were probably because of some shrapnel that flew around in the blast, but thinking about their condition wasn't a top priority for everyone. The crowd wanted to know the victor.
The two dragon slayers stood facing each other, their eyes, ice cold. Both mages breathed heavily, trying to show their strength. The air was filled with an eerie silence and the masses waited for someone to fall in defeat.
Nick wavered.
Natsu staggered.
A breeze flowed between them, but ultimately, he couldn't stand any longer; he was to exhausted.
Natsu fell.
At first there was silence, but the crowd erupted in cheers, finally knowing the stronger of the two. Nick stood in disbelief and for a moment, then smiled ear to ear in pride. His happiness was beaming straight out of him, even as he fell onto his back, giving into his injuries. "Nick!" Grey shouted racing towards his friend's side. Natsu watched as the two conversed, not realizing that Happy and Lucy were next to him. "Are you okay, Natsu?" Lucy asked desperately. "I'm alright." He said, wiping away some of the blood on his face. "You'd think Nick would've realized the hole in his chest, though." Natsu's smile relieved Lucy, and she helped him stand up. "Y'know, I'm not even disappointed I lost." Lucy gave Natsu a confused look. He hated losing in "friendly competitions", and he'd usually pout for a bit before cooling down, so why was he happy about losing? "It's cool having another dragon slayer," Happy said, "I think you've got a new rival, Natsu!" The fire mage said nothing but his smile said everything Natsu felt.
"That was an incredible fight," Erza complimented, "but now both of you need some rest. Guildmaster's orders." Natsu rolled his eyes and allowed Lucy to walk him to infirmary in the guild. "Gray, help Nick there, too." The ice mage nodded and led Nick to the recovery room. While injuries were had, both mages had fun which was the most satisfying thing to Lucy, Team Natsu, and the dispersing crowd. But a mysterious spectator on the roof of Fairy Tail was concerned for the victor. The onlooker had on a black cloak that covered her entire body, and a helmet that was pointed in an angle at the front. Three lines at the front were the only openings in the helmet with the uppermost one being the broadest so she could see, and a white ponytail came out from the top of her polished helmet.
"He's definitely grown," she admitted, "But he still isn't completely safe. I know his wounds will be more severe next time a duel happens. But my blade will be at the ready." The silhouette slightly unsheathed a katana with a golden hilt from underneath her cloak. "Whether you like it or not, I will protect you at all costs. These people are not your friends, they will do what everyone else has done to you, and it still seems that only I see this. I love you, but you must not be so quick to trust." The figure then leapt away onto rooftops, disappearing without a trace and without anyone knowing of her presence.
Hey, you made it to the end! Congrats! However I have bad news. I'm going away for quite a while, so no uploads. I will be back to finish season one though, and I can, I'll make season two! Oh, by the way I will be doing holiday specials, but since a lot of holidays are back to back, which conflicts with my scheduling, I'll probably only be able to make one or two a year. Goodbye for now guys!
