Alright guys. Here's Chapter 25.


Chapter 25: Dragon Force Activated! Natsu vs. Hordy!

"HORDY!" Natsu appeared behind Hordy at super high speed and kicked him with flames, sending him forward and crashing through an iceberg.

"What the hell?" Sanji said. "What happened to Natsu?"

"That's Dragon Force!" Erza said.

"Dragon Force?" Sai repeated.

"It's an advanced abilities than only dragon slayers can use. It's said to be the most powerful and final stage of being a dragon slayer and it turns the user into a humanoid dragon and enhances their abilities and spells."

"Really?" Luffy said. "That's awesome!"

"What the hell?" Hordy said getting back to his feet. Then Natsu appeared in front of Hordy and punched him in the gut, sending him back a few feet and crashing through another iceberg.

"So fast!" Nami said shocked.

"I could hardly see him move." Uryu said.

"You damn human!" Hordy cursed. "I'll show you. Arrow Miltary Shark!" Hordy fired his water-like bullets at Natsu, who easily dodged them.

Natsu took a deep breath. "Roar of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu breathed a brighter and powerful blast of fire from his mouth and hitting Hordy, causing an explosion.

"His fire gotten stronger too." Rukia said.

"I guess Erza was right with the enhanced attacks part." Emna said.

"I see, so you think imitating a dragon is going to help you." Hordy said, laughing. "You're wrong. It show how desperate you humans are."

"What was that?!" Natsu said.

"You think I'm wrong, then prove it. Show me the power of the dragon!"

Natsu balled his fist and charged towards Hordy. "Fine then, but you asked for it!" Hordy smirked as Natsu is getting closer to him.

"What is he planning?" Neji said to himself and saw that Hordy was ready to attack. "Wait! Natsu! It's a trap!"

"Fool. Water Shot!" Hordy threw a water bullet at Natsu, hitting him the gut and sending him a few feet. When Natsu landed on the ground, his dragon force disappeared.

"This isn't good." Happy said worried.

"Damn it." Gray cursed. "That was his only chance to beat him."

"Just like I thought, you are pathetic." Hordy said. "Die! Water Shot!" Hordy fired another water bullet at Natsu and Natsu dodged it.

"It's not over yet!" Natsu shouted as he charged towards Hordy. "Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!" Natsu's fist was engulfed in flames as he threw a punch at the fishman. Hordy threw a punch as well and their fist collided. Hordy quickly overpowered Natsu and sent him into an iceberg.

"Natsu!" Erza shouted.

"I told you that you can't reach the same level as the fishmen." Hordy said as Natsu struggles to his feet. "Stay down, unless you want to die."

"Shut up, you fish bastard!" Natsu said. "Stop talking like you won and stop boring us to death talking about you stupid fishmen. I'm still going to kick your ass." Natsu moved his arms in a circular motion and a torrent of flames begin to appear.

"Fine then, this will shut you up for good. Arrow Military Shark!" Hordy threw his water bullets at Natsu.

"Dragon Slayer Secert Art - Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!" Natsu fires the torrent of flames at the fishman, hitting him with the barrage and sending him flying.

"He did it!" Tsuna said.

"Whoa, that was awesome!" Luffy said.

"It was nothing." Natsu said panting.

"You're badly injured." Orihime said to Natsu. "Hold on, let heal you."

"There's no way." Sakura said seeing a figure standing in the smoke. The others looked at that direction and saw Hordy in just the same condition as Natsu.

"What the hell is this guy made of?" Gajeel said.

"Even that wasn't enough to beat him." Lucy said shocked.

Hordy charged toward Natsu at a high speed and bit down on his shoulder. Natsu yelled in pain as blood began flow from his shoulder.

"Natsu!" Everyone expect Sasuke and Hibari yelled.

"I told you, you can't stand to the level of the fishmen and I meant it." Hordy said as he relinquished his hold on Natsu and the wizard fell to the ground. "Now who's next?"

"You bastard!" Ichigo said as he, Naruto, and Luffy are ready to fight. Then Natsu's body started to glow.

"What the..." Hordy turning around and saw Natsu on his feet.

"I told you to stop talking like you beat me!" Natsu shouted as he was chomping on some Energy Steroid he had left, regaining his Dragon Force. "Unless I stopped moving, you haven't won yet! Hidden Fire Form - Crimson Lotus: Phoenix Blade!" Natsu charged in the torrent of flame at Hordy in a high speed and headbutted him in an iceberg. Natsu landed on his feet as Hordy disappeared.

"AAAHHHHH!" Natsu roared as an image of Igneel appeared behind him.

"That was so awesome!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes from Natsu's attack.

"Alright, Natsu won!" Lucy cheered. Natsu's Dragon Force disappeared as he fell to the ground out of exhaustion. Chopper, Happy, and Wendy quickly ran to Natsu to see if he's okay.

"He's okay but he's badly hurt." Chopper said to the others.

"We need to get him on the ship." Erza said. "As we go to the next island, we need to treat his wounds. I'm sure all of you are realizing that things are getting harder. And Fionna is going to send her strongest forces to attack us."

"Tell us you're joking, please?" Usopp said scared.

Luffy laughed and said, "So what if she does that. She could send the entire world on us and we'll win."

"I'm with Luffy on this one." Naruto said. "Just bring them on, we're ready!"

"They got one track minds, do they?" Lucy asked.

"They got a point." Zoro said. "We knew coming into this wouldn't be easy."

"Moss head's right for once." Sanji agreed.

"Yeah, we made it this far." Kiba said. "We might as well see it to the end."

"How tough are these enemies anyway?" Gajeel said. "I say we take them out!"

"Yeah, they all got one track minds." Nami said to Lucy.

"Alright, off the next island!" Luffy shouted.

"Yeah!" the others shouted as they got on the Thousand Sunny.
