I'm sorry for taking so long for this chapter, I couldn't come up with anything, because I changed it kind of too much, and I've been busy with other things, my music and school work and other things. But I wanna thank you all for being patient with me, I hope you like this.

Natsu

Two years ago when Erza told me all about that tower and what happened there, I promised that I would always be there for her, so basically I asked her out. In a way that's true, but not entirely. She took it as me just being me, overprotective about my friends, well only with her I'll ever say that, anyone else? Not a chance.

Any who, just a little while ago Happy found Erza and I being all cozy together, but he didn't really care about that, what he cared about was that the guild was attacked, he told us that it was attacked by six members of Phantom Lord. My first reaction was to turn around and go back to their remaining members that we beat to a pulp. But I didn't, instead we started to make our way to the guild, I looked over to Erza and noticed her magic started to overflow, and she had a murderous look on her face, this time I said nothing to her, I took a long and deep breath. "Let's just get back to the guild."

On the way to the guild no one said a word, the thoughts in my head kept saying 'completely destroy them, whatever happens is their own fault, and who cares what the magic council thinks'. That guild should have just left us alone. Happy also told us that only gramps and Gray were hurt, which surprised me. Oh yea the new girl, Lucy Hearfilia, she was captured by them...I don't know who she is, but I know she's a member of Fairy Tail, so I can't just let them take her.

"If they're strong enough to take on master Makarov...Then we have to be careful when we fight them." Erza said I could still see the hatred in her eyes, I nodded in agreement, "But why only them?" I asked.

Erza looked troubled, "Good question."

When we got to the guild Happy took us to the infirmary, where Gray and Gramps were resting, a pink haired old lady was tending to master Makarov, master's skin was green…And he was sweating and breathing hard, anger started to build in me once again. I don't want to see my guild mates like this, especially our master! I stormed out of the room with Erza, "They will pay for this..." I growled.

Erza has been really quiet. I don't want to say anything because I know what she's feeling. Before we could leave, Mira stopped us, "Wait! You guys have to be careful, of those six members of Phantom Lord, one of them is their master."

And she went on about their magic, one had powerful water magic, another could steal the magic power right out of you, and then there was one that could make you see bad memories, things you never wanted to see again. Well according to Elfmen that is, man for such a big dude, he sure got beat bad. We agreed to be careful and went on our way, we went back to their guild hall, we basically destroyed it, but maybe there's more to their guild building then we thought. As we made our way there Erza asked me if I was actually okay to go through with this, the truth is I've only half recovered, but I can't say that, because then she'll tell me to go back to the guild and rest, and then she'll say that she can handle them by herself.

I'm not doubting her power, I'm doubting her decision making, when she sees them, will she actually just fight them and not kill them? Or will she kill them without even giving them a chance? Erza has changed a lot, she loves her friends, and when people hurt them, she just…Loses it.

When we got to their guild, I was surprised to see it standing…But it was much bigger than before, Erza and I can take it out in one attack, but only if we don't get interrupted. "You ready Natsu?" Erza asked, her tone slightly better, but she is still mad. "No mercy, huh?" I said and nodded, "I don't mind that, let's do it."

Erza requiped into her Flame Empress armor and summoned a fireball that was as big as their front gates, which by the way was HUGE, "You spoil me. Looks like I'm getting breakfast, lunch and dinner, time to eat!" I shouted hungrily and started to absorb the fireball. When I was finished, I could feel my own body heat increase, "Now I've got a fire in my belly, I don't think my fire dragon's roar will do enough damage, so…Fire Dragon's..." This attack won't be as strong without my left hand, but it can still blow this door off its hinges, as I was about to throw it I looked at Erza, she started glowing and then it died down, a second later she was wearing her Lightning Empress Armor, she hasn't worn that for a while. Erza lifted up her spear and a little yellow ball appeared, I hate when she uses that against me, because I always end up getting electrocuted, it really sucks.

"Fire Dragon's, Brilliant Flame!" I hurled the huge fireball at the doors, before my attack could reach the doors a wall of…No it was a huge block of water, it just appeared out of nowhere. As my brilliant flame touched the block of water, it slowed down, but it didn't evaporate. The water of slowly evaporating, the flames shrunk but other than that it still look like it could destroy an entire town. As the water disappeared the doors look like they were reinforced with steel, my attack made contact with the doors and exploded, "Nice try…But you weaklings can't…" I stopped short when the smoke cleared, the door was still there, but the steel was melted right off it.

All that power and it didn't do anything, I clutched my hands into fists. "Show yourselves!-

Erza thrust her spear towards the doors, and at the tip of spear a huge ball of lightning appeared and they she shot it at the doors, when it made contact everything around us started shaking, I struggled to keep my balance, but Erza stood as still as a statue, the expression on her face didn't exactly show me anything. It was like there was nothing there, which made me worry for her, I walked over to her and took her hand, "Erza Scarlet and Natsu Dragneel, the strongest duo in Fairy Tail isn't as strong as I thought."

As we stared at the doorway it started raining, and then five people stood at the doors that Erza destroyed. One has blue hair, with dark blue eyes, and she was also wearing a sapphire blue coat, a cream colored furry trimmed navy blue shawl. This one doesn't exactly look…happy, or angry, she just looked sad…She doesn't belong in this guild. Next to her was the other Dragon Slayer we beat, and next to him was a skinny green haired man who wore a plain brown suit, and next to that man was another man long black and white hair that is tied into a knot on the back of his head. And the last person there was behind all of them, Jose, their master.

"Wasn't there six?" I asked, Erza nodded and her eyes widened, "Watch out!" She shouted, before I could look back Erza was suddenly encased in a sphere of water, and I was grabbed from behind, "The hell!? Get off me!" I shouted angrily, I started to feel weaker and then a second later my strength returned and it kept doing that over and over, the bracelet was taking back the power this guy was stealing, the one Mira warned us about.

Every time my magic returned my body heat increased, which made this guy's grip loosen, when he finally let go his fellow guild mates charged me, "Idiot! You didn't take away his magic power!" One of them shouted. "I-I'm sorry, but my hands can't take the heat!" This guy was crying for some reason, I stood up and went to Erza who was still in a sphere of water before I could get close the rain started to come down hard making it hard to see and move. I'm guessing the one who is causing this rain is the one with all the blue clothing. I took a long breath, "Fire Dragon's, Roar!"

It was heading straight for her, but none of them looked concerned, as it was about to hit her, my flames took a hard right and then started head back towards me, "Wha-

I lifted up my arm to block it, once it hit me I staggered backwards five feet. "Wow...I really pack a punch." I chuckled and lit my hand on fire and then the flames grew in size, "Let's see you block this!" The flames grew intense until the rain around me couldn't even touch me anymore.

Five feet all around me the rain sizzled, like I was in an invisible bubble, I brought my fist down to the ground with so much force a small crater formed around me and the rain stopped dropping down on us for thirty whole seconds, "Let Erza go!" I screamed. Erza requiped into her Sea Empress Armor. And then she gasped, "Natsu! Do it!" She ordered.

I'm still recovering and I've used a lot of my magic power already, if she wants me to do that, then that means she's almost of magic as well. But if I do that then I'll pass out and then there'll be no one to help us…But that's only if I miss, my whole body burst into flames and then I extended my arm to Erza, I uncovered my right arm and the Topaz gem glowed brightly, "Switch!" Erza and I switched places, I was now in the sphere and Erza was on her knees twenty feet from me, it was hard to breath but I pulled through and activated my attack, Dragon Slayer's secret art, "Crimson Lotus, Exploding Flame Blade!" The sphere of water instantly evaporated and the five members of Phantom Lord were caught in my flames.

I fell to my knees, completely drained of magic, I need fire…"Erza…" I croaked, she didn't answer me, I got a glance of her and realized why she couldn't come to my aid, she was in a fight with the wizard who took some of my power, I reached towards him trying to tell Erza to lure him to me. Please…turn around…Just one look, that's all I need.

This guy was holding his own against Erza, my eyes slowly closing, I'm going to pass out…No. I can't, Erza needs my help, come Natsu! Get up! I coughed and tried to get up, but I was too weak, it's not as bad as when we fought Acnologia. No magic power, and my left side hurts. As I was about to pass out, Erza was next to me, "Pretend to sleep for two minutes." She whispered in my ear.

I don't think I can last that long…

I nodded regardless. "Is that all you got?!" It was obvious she was low on magic power as well. "Luck is on our side, if you were at full power, we'd already be done for, but it seems you're about to fall over, all it takes is a single-

He was suddenly in front of Erza, "Touch." He finished, Erza couldn't back away, so I reached for his leg, "Oh? You're still alive?" He looked down at me, "Well let's…Chan…What are you doing to me!?" He jumped away from me. "Taking back my master's power!" I slowly got back up, it's not enough to defeat him, but Erza is with me, we can beat him together.

I'm hoping to get another chapter up this week, not sure if I should go with the original story line with Lucy, or have her end up with Gray, what doy uo guys/ladies think?

Thanks for reading! I hope you all have an awesome day!
