**previously**
Cana in the background watching this while lying on floor smirked "Demon is back" and then she fell unconscious herself.
When magic died down Mira stand there but she looked different. Her hair stood upward. She had a red leather boots that were above her knees. Part of her body was covered with red scales like one-piece bathing suit. Her stomach was exposed. Behind her stretched demon's scaly tail. Her hands turned into claws.
"Full body takeover; Satan soul" she growled.
CRACK! Her right side of face cracked right across her eye.
Chapter 25:
Freed just watch at Mirajane with slight fear. Of course he would never admitted it.
Mira shoot herself toward Freed in stunning speed. He barely dodge her kick. He ducked under her foot. Mira shifted to hand and lifted other leg in the air hitting Freed in the stomach. Freed fly back few meters coughing saliva but he shifted on ground and when he stop spinning from attack he was kneeling on one knee before he got up and dusted himself.
"I didn't expect that. I didn't know that you can use your Satan soul" He said and got back in fighting stance.
"Neither did I!" Mirajane growled before lunching herself back at Freed. To avoid being hit again Freed shouted "Dark Écriture: Wings!" On his back appeared purple wings made from Freed's runes. He fly in the air.
Mira, after she missed Freed growled and jumped after Freed. Freed smirked 'She can't get that high.' But much to his surprise and horror on Mira's backs appeared black bat-like wings and she was now flying toward him. They exchanged blows so fast that untrained eye would not be able to keep up.
Then Mira flew back few meters and stretched out her hand and cried "Darkness Stream!" From her hands shoot big tornado of purple energy toward Freed. Freed dodge it and shoot himself toward Mira who was open now. He attack her with his sword but luckily Mirajane was able to avoid attack leaving just scratch. She then tried to hit Freed with her clawed hand successfully hitting him in the face. Freed fell on ground making small crater. He stood up bruised and was panting. He looked toward demon that was already flying toward him. She didn't seem tired at all. He cursed under his breath ant thought to himself 'I'll have to us that so I can beat her'
And with that he warped himself in his magic and yelled "Dark Écriture: Darkness!"
When the energy died down instead of Freed stood demonic creature. The creature had green hair (just like Freed's) but it stood upwards and had two black strands. It have black skin with claw like nails. Mirajane stopped and asked "What is this?!" she never seen Freed using that spell before.
"I'm not surprised that you never seen it. I use this only as last resort." Freed said.
"I will still beat you!" Mira cried and shoot herself toward Freed.
"Only a Demon can master a Demon" Freed said and lunched himself toward flying Mirajane.
Two great forces clashed with incredible strength. They exchanged blows even faster then before. They movements were just blur. Then Mira got upper hand and kick him in stomach sending him flying. They were both tiered and Mira knew that if she didn't finish this quickly she will lost her take over. She concentrate her magic in final attack and Freed did the same.
They concentrate and then;
"Darkness Breath!"
"Soul Extinction!"
Freed and Mira yelled in union and fired their attacks. Freed fired big black tornado of energy from his hands toward Mira. Mira fired her Soul Extinction that looked like purple and black tornado toward Freed.
Their attacks collided. For few seconds that seemed like hours they spells struggled to overpower opponent's attack. After few more seconds Mira's attack finally overpowered Freed's attack and it hit him directly. Freed was sent flying in ground. He returned to his usual self and before he fell unconscious he said "I'm sorry I failed you, Laxus"
Mira landed next to him and her take over wore off and now she was again in her pink dress but she still had bruise and cuts. She walked to Elfman to see if he was alright.
**in guild hall**
Winner: Mirajane
And with that runes disappeared.
"Finally!" Gajeel yelled.
"Yes!" Wendy cried hugging master.
Natsu smirked and said "I guess I shouldn't doubt in her"
"Let's go!" Gajeel yelled and run out of hall.
"Right!" Wendy yelled and run out as well. Natsu was about to walk out when Makarov stopped him.
"Natsu... would you mind to stay here for little so we can get rid of Thunder palace?" he asked and Natsu sighed.
"Whatever" Natsu said.
They said and went up the stairs. Now on balcony stood Makarov, Natsu, Levy and Bisca. They watched at lighting lacrimas that were floating around town.
"How abou I just try to take them down with my gun?" Bisca asked looking at lacrimas.
"I don't think that's clever... Who knows what Laxus did to those lacrimas and if they have some defensive device or something." Master stated and other two nodded.
"Well we won't know if we don't try." Bisca said and aimed at one of lacrima.
"We have to take them down" and with that she fired before others could stop her.
BANG!
Lacrima shattered and for few seconds nothing happened but then...
"AAAAHHHH!" Bisca cried in pain as lighting from were lacrima stood hit her.
"BISCA!" Master and Levy shouted and Natsu became angry.
"Body link! That bastard!" Natsu growled.
"Take her in infirmary!" Makarov ordered Levy and then little blue haired teen used her magic and take Bisca in infirmary. Then Makarov turned to Natsu.
"What now?!" master growled.
Then someone's voice spoke in their heads. They all recognized that it was Erza's.
"Master I heard about Thunder palace! Is there any way to take it down?!" Erza's voice asked in their minds.
"How can you speak with us, Erza?" Master asked confused.
"I find Warren but it's not important now! Do you have any way to take down Thunder palace or not?!" Erza asked them with angry voice.
**with Gray- few minutes earlier**
'I have to find that bastard before he activate Thunder palace!' Gray thought running trough streets. He then saw lightning fired trough one of Cathedral's windows.
'So he's in there!" he thought and start running toward Cathedral.
**in Cathedral with Laxus**
Laxus was sitting in Cathedral when someone burst trough the doors. He turned to see Erza standing there.
"I knew you'll be here!" she yelled and then added "Come with me peacefully or do I need to force you?"
After that Laxus burst in maniacal laughter "HAHAHA! Like you could ever force me into something! HAHAHA!"
Erza gritted her teeth and then said "Weary well then... Requip!"
After that Eraz was standing in her Heaven's wheel armor and lunched several swords toward Laxus who just used his lightning and deflected attack.
"Is that all you got, Titania?" he said with smug smile.
"I didn't even started! REQUIP!" Erza shouted furious.
"Lightning Empress Armor!" Erza was warped in golden light and when light died down she was standing in another armor. This armor is golden and light bluish in color. The breastplate is decorated by golden trimmings, and has thin plates going up to surround Erza's neck.
Laxus shoot another lightning toward Erza but Erza dodged so lightning hit window of Cathedral braking it. Erza lunched herself toward Laxus. Laxus easily dodge every kick or hit Erza throw at him.
"I think it's time to stop this children's play and be serious, don't you think so?" Laxus asked, smug smile still on his face. He gathered som of his energy to his hand and was about to hit Erza when doors flung open.
Laxus stopped as well as Erza to look who came trough doors.
"Gray?" Erza asked confused and surprised slightly. "What are you doing here?"
"Isn't it obvious? I came here to help you" Gray said with smile.
Laxus chuckled. They turned their heads toward him and frowned.
"What so funny?!" Gary asked/yelled.
Laxus's chuckle turned into laughter. "It's funny you think you can help her! HAHA!"
Gry was furious. Laxus made fun of him!
"Why YOU!" Erza yelled and was about to attack but Gary stopped her. "Erza! Something strange is going on out there. Go find someone and get rid of those lacrima. I got this, 'kay?"
Eraz looked at him in confusion but once again Laxus interfere "That lacrima in sky are my 'Thunder palace'!" he said with smug smile.
Gary and Erza looked at him in confusion. Luxus smile only grew bigger.
"I was thinking about a little talk with old man..." he chuckled "... If he don't give me his title as master I'll kill every last weakling in this sorry town!" He had by now mad grin on his face. Gray and Erza weren't happy with what they heard. They were for first second horrified but it quickly turned in fury.
"Are you insane?!" Erza screamed.
"ERZA! GO AND FIND WAY TO STOP THIS! I'LL FIGHT LAXUS!" Gary yelled. His eyes burning with fury. He somehow already was shirtless and get in fighting position. Erza didn't want to leave Gray behind but he was right. If she don't stop this innocent people could die!
"I will tell you that they have body link so I wouldn't hit them if I were you" Laxus said with smug smile. Erza looked at Gray trying to persuade him with her look to let her fight with him and someone else will deal with lacrimas. But she saw determination in his eyes. "Go, Erza! I can take care of my self!" Gray yelled at her braking eye contact.
"Alright!" she said and run out but before she was completely out of the Cathedral she took one last glance to see Gary's desperate attempts to do some damage to lightning wizard.
**with Master and Natsu- present**
Makarov think. He couldn't find any way to take down lacrima without being hit by lightning. He was desperate. Then Levy got back and asked "Master would it be wise to call Porlyusica now?"
Master look at her trying to process what girl just said then he nodded and Levy went running out.
"Master, do you have any idea?" Erza asked again. All this time Natsu was deep in thoughts. He was looking at lacrimas with hand on his chin. His eyes widened slightly and Makarov noticed this. Ha raised his eyebrow waiting for teen to speak. He knew that Natsu was smart and who knows, maybe he find solution. Makarov looked at boy hopefully.
"I think I now what we could do..." he said quietly but old master and Erza heard him.
"Tell, what are you thinking about!" Makarov said with hope in his voice.
"Hmmmm..." you could hear Erza thinking and if they see her they would see her's eyes widening. "You don't think on that spell you used in Lullaby incident on station, right?" they could hear slight fear in her voice.
"Indeed I do" Natsu said with smirk. Master was confused. 'Why is there fear in Erza's voice? Which spell did he used? Is it something bad?' master thought to himself.
"But Natsu if I'm not mistaken that spell started your dragonfiction!" Erza's voice yelled in their heads. At this it was Makarov's turn to look at Natsu with fear and worry.
"You are correct with that as well. But it's our only way so..." He said and then knuckled his knuckles.
"What spell?" Makarov asked. Natsu let out chuckle. "You'll see master."
"Erza would you be so kind and destroy those lacrimas?" Natsu asked. At this Makarov was angry. 'Didn't he saw what happened to Bisca?!'
"I can't allow that!" master shouted.
"Trust me, master. Erza will be safe and sound." Natsu reassured old man shocking him slightly because teen's voice sounded sad for some reason.
"Alright" Makarov said still not completely sure in this.
"Erza, are you ready?" Natsu asked and then he himself started to gather his energy.
**with Erza and Warren**
Erza started to gather her magic energy and said "Requip! Heaven's Wheel Armor!" She glowed and then she was standing in her Heaven's Wheel Armor. She then started to summon sword for every lacrima that is above town. She summoned about 100 swords but it still wasn't enough. She started to sweat.
"Warren.." Erza called her guild mate.
"Yea?" Warren immediately asked.
"Tell everyone except who can to lend me some magic." she said and Warren did what he was asked for. She immediately felt her magic growing. She summoned more swords... more... more until there were more then 200.
"Erza, are you ready?" she could hear Natsu's voice.
"Yes I'm ready" she said aiming with her every sword at one of the lacrimas.
**with Natsu and Makarov**
"Dragon slayer secret art: Element Take Over..." Natsu began to cast spells. His magic started sparking around him. Makarov was surprised to say at least. When boy's magic began to spark he took step back just in case. He never seen this spell and did not now what will happened. Natsu closed his eyes.
"...Lightning Master!" He finished and his eyes shoot open. Makarov was shocked again. The boy's left eye that didn't suffer dragonfiction yet was glowing bright yellow. His pupil turned into slits.
"NOW! ERZA!" Natsu yelled.
"ALRIGHT!" Erza shoot every sword in one of lacrima successfully destroying them. Then all lightning from lacrimas started gathering in one point and just when it was about to strike Erza it change direction.
Masters eyes widened and he took another step back when large pillar of lightning hit Natsu. The boy was obviously controlling the lightning pillar and slowly absorbed it.
'How is this possible?! I thought that dragon slayers can absorb only their element!' Makarov thought while watching the boy. It was so bright that he had to shield his eyes. He only saw boy's outline that was... changing!
CRACK!
There was loud sound of bones braking and like someone was tearing skin.
"AAAHHH!" Natsu shrieked. His shriek was so inhuman that it sent shivers down his spine. He was sure that most likely whole Magnolia heard it. When lightning disappeared Makarov gasped. On floor was curled Natsu. Blood dripping from his mouth as well as his eyes. Behind him was two meters long black, scaly tail with red lines. On his backs, were his shirt used to be but was now torn because of the lightning, were sticking out from his torn off skin about ten centimeters two bones without any skin on them. Makarov assumed that that will be wings. He run to the boy to help him stood up but Natsu did it himself.
He then looked at master and now both of his eyes were the same, dragon like eyes, framed with red scales.
Master just stare at him for few seconds before Natsu break the silence "Now I'll go to pay visit to the bastard that started this, if you don't mind, master?" he said in his normal voice.
Makarov could only nodded before Natsu jumped down from balcony on streets and start running not paying attention to frightened screams of town people around him.
"Master?" Erza's voice came in his head again.
"W-what is it Erza?" Master stuttered still shocked by Natsu's appearance.
"What was that shriek?" Erza asked worriedly.
"Natsu.." Master said.
"Is he-" Erza couldn't finish because master cut her off. "Yes. Dragonfiction progressed"
Erza let out sigh. She was worried this would happen. She then remembered what Laxus said and was thinking should she say it to master.
"Hmm..." she hummed.
"What is it Erza?" Master asked hearing that girl was troubled.
"Master.. I'm sorry to say you this but..." Girl stopped unable to say that master's grandson tried to kill entire Magnolia.
"What... Tell me." Makarov asked worriedly
"Laxus... he said that he will kill everyone in Magnolia with 'Thunder palace' if you don't give him title of master. I know that we stop him but-" That was last thing master heard before collapsing. His old heart couldn't take it anymore. In that moment Levy come back with Porlyusica.
"Master!" Levy cried and Porlyusica gasped running to the old man.
**with Gray and Laxus**
'Now that Erza's gone...' Gray thought and looked at Laxus. Fury in his eyes. Gray slammed his fist in his palm standing in a familiar position and cried "Ice-Make: Lance!" He shoot his spell toward Laxus who dodge it skillfully. But Gray wanted him to do then and Gray shoot himself toward Laxus who wasn't prepared for that and hit Laxus in jaw. Laxus took step back but other then that he didn't show any sign that he was in slightest pain. Gray jumped fast few meters back but Laxus used his lightning and before Gray toched the ground Laxus was behind him. I second Gray touched the ground Laxus kick him in back with his left knee. Grey flew few meters but was able to land on his one knee and he slammed his hands again but this time he yelled "Ice-Make: Hammer!" Large hammer appeared above Laxus and Gray slammed his hammer on him.
Laxus then fired lightning from his palm and hit upcoming hammer successfully destroying it. Gray's eyes widened a bit.
He cursed under his breath and then again stood up and was about to cast another spell but this time Laxus stopped him closing gap between them with his lightning and slamming in Gary's head with fist warped in his lightning magic.
Gray let out cry of pain and landed on ground hitting it hard. Laxus run toward Ice-make wizard but stoop when loud sound of breaking was heard from outside and soon after that terrible shriek and lightning was heard. Laxus sensed that 'Thunder palace' was destroyed and that make him angry. Really angry. He was in front of now standing Ice mage in second and hit him with his wist warped in lightning right in stomach. Gray flew few more meters hitting the wall.
"I SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU WILL FIND WAY TO DESTROY 'THUNDER PALACE'! I SHOULD USE MY OWN STRENGTH FROM VERY START!" Laxus yelled and now he was warped in his lightning and shoot himself toward barely moving Gray.
"You'll never win" Gray said and Laxus heard it and shouted "BRING IT ON, FAIRY TAIL!"
"Lightning Blast!" he fired lightning bolt from both his hand hitting Gray. Gray flied few meters and hit ground making small crater. Laxus then rose his arm in air and started gather more magic in his hand and chanted "Resound, my summoned thunder's boom..."
'Crap... I can't move..." Gray thought while struggling to move himself out of the way.
"Fall from the heavens and turn all to ashes..." Laxus continued "RAGING BOLT!" He finished and above him formed big ball of lightning energy and he bring it down on Gray who just stared at his doom with wide eyes.
The ball hit the ground and Laxus just watched it with smug smile. When attack died down he said "Aren't you supposed to protect the guild, Gray? Ha?" He then look at crater that he made. There wasn't even body. He started to laugh like maniac. "I guess you can't when you're turned to dust! HAHAHA!"
"Why are you laughing? You almost kill your guild mate" Came voice from balcony's railing. Laxus quickly looked in that direction and he was surprised by what he saw. On railing was Gajeel holding Gray by his belt.
"Gajeel..." Gray said surprised himself.
Gajeel jumped down and put Gray on floor pretty rough.
"Stand back Gajeel! This is my fight!" Gray yelled at black haired dragon slayer.
"I'll kill you all..." Laxus mumbled with mad grin. Two didn't pay attention to him... at least not for now.
"You can't beat him alone! Look at him!" Gajeel yelled and pointed at Laxus who still had mad grin on his face while lightning danced round him and he was repeating "Disappear! Disappear! Disappear!" like mantra.
Gray look at Laxus little shocked. He didn't think he was this crazy. Gray the looked at Gajeel rather dumbly "You want to help the guild?" he asked in disbelief.
Gajeel become mad and on his forehead appeared thickmark. " Whether I want to destroy it or help it is my choice!" he shouted.
"Let's fight together" Gajeel said and Gray was surprised once again. He know how proud Dragon slayers are and this was really weird.
"I thought that dragons fly alone" Gray said smirking.
"It's hard to fly with all this lightning" Gajeel smirked back.
"Alright. But just this once!" Gray said and then they both lunched themselves toward lightning mage.
"Ice-Make: Arrows!" Gray cried and made arrows and bow form ice and shoot it toward Laxus. Laxus easily dodge the attack and shouted "Did you really think you can hit me with that miserable spell?"
Laxus jumped to side only to be attacked by Gajeel "Iron Dragon's Club!"
Gajeel's arm turned into club and he tried to hit Laxus but Laxus dodge so Gajeel fly pass him. Gray caught Gajeel and push him toward Laxus yelling "GAJEEL!"
Gajeel understood what Gray meant and he took deep breath "Iron dragon's..."
Gray chanted as well "Ice-Make:..."
"ROAR!" "CANNON!" They yelled in union and this time their unison attack hit Laxus directly.
Dust was covering most of the Cathedral and Gajeel and Gray smiled in victory. They smile soon vanished when they heard maniacal laughter coming from smoke.
"HAHAHA! Did you really think THAT will be enough? That was weak roar Gajeel and you call yourself dragon slayer..." Laxus said grinning like mad man. Lightning was dancing more wildly around him and his purple shirt was little torn but other than that he was completely unharmed. He started gathering his magic once again and said while chuckling "I never said old man 'bout this because I don't like his speeches..."
His muscles got bigger and on his slowly arms appeared scales.
"Don't tell me... Y-you're..." Gajeel mumbled.
Laxus leaned his head back and took deep breath. Above him appeared gold magic circle and he yelled "Lightning Dragon's ROAR!" He shoot his head forward and fired big tornado of lightning energy toward two Fairy tail mages. Gajeel's and Gray's eyes widened. His roar was almost the same size as Natsu's when Gajeel fight him. When attack died down Gray and Gajeel were on floor twitching. They were barely conscious what and lightning sparked around their bodies. Laxus was slowly walking toward them to finish them while smiling like mad man.
"It's been a fun fight" Laxus said with smile. He was now standing near Gray who wasn't able to move. Gray mentally yelled at himself to move but his body wouldn't listen. Laxus raised his foot and was about to kick Gary when he was sent flying back with something big, black and scaly.
Laxus hit the wall. Gajeel and Gray looked in disbelief at their savior. In front of Gray where was Laxus just second ago stood man with two meters long black and red, scaly tail, pointy ears, claws and on the man's back was something that looks like birds wings but it was just skeleton of wings. There weren't any flesh or feathers on skeleton. The man also had two large black horns on his head. Their's eyes widened when they saw pink hair. They immediately know who was that. Natsu stood in front of them. He had his back turned toward Gajeel and Gray.
Laxus get out of wall and said "So you decided to show up after all? I thought that you're just a coward"
After he said that Natsu's energy spiked and sent small shock wave as he growled. Gajeel and Gray looked at Laxus with pity in their eyes. 'Poor fool' they both thought in union.
Natsu chuckled darkly and it sent shivers down their spines. Even Laxus was little scared by his opponent's appearance and the way he chuckled an his sinister aura of course Laxus never show he was scared. He was even able to hold his smug grin. Laxus used his 'Lightning body' technique and he was in front of Natsu before Gray and Gajeel even saw him move. Laxus raised his right leg that was warped in lightning and tried to hit Natsu in head. No one saw what came next. Natsu leaned to the right his upper body and stretched out his right leg slamming Laxus with incredible force in his chest. Laxus flew back in the hole in the wall were he came from.
Natsu looked at Laxus with his piercing glare. If look could kill this one would kill in second.
"You see, my friend... I don't like when someone call me coward..." he growled angrily. Laxus get himself out of hole once again and fired himself toward Natsu who was sill in same place where he was when he entered Cathedral. It was obvious that he was furious. He was strongest! How could this wanna-be son of Acnologia be stronger then him. Yes, Natsu did beat him before but before he didn't use his Dragon slayer magic. HE should be HIS superior now!
Laxus yelled "Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!" He gathered a large amount of lightning around his left fist, bends the arm and then extends the fist forward in a punching motion. After this his Magic Seal appear before him, from which an over-sized version of his fist, completely composed of lightning, is generated and rapidly fired towards still motionless Natsu. Just second before fist hit Natsu was gone. Attack flew right above Gray and Gajeel who watched fight with wide eyes. When Laxus saw that Natsu vanished he started to look around to find him before he could attack. Just imagine his face when he heard Natsu's slightly demonic voice whispered in his ear from behind his back.
He almost pee himself when Natsu said with sinister voice "When someone calls me a coward I like to watch that someone when they begging me. You want to know what they beg me for?" Even though Laxus couldn't see his face he was sure that he had his wicked grin. Laxus used his 'Lightning body' to get as far as he could from Acnologia's son. As soon as he saw that Nastu was still on the same spot he had his cocky smile back.
"What? Enlighten me" Laxus laughed. Gray and Gajeel that were finally after some time able to move were now sitting in one corner watched how Natsu play with Laxus.
"I wouldn't say that. I don't think he'll like the answer..." Gajeel commented. Gray just nodded in agreement.
Natsu looked at Laxus straight in eyes and put on his face most wicked, sinister, demon-looking grin they ever seen from him. They could also seen now that dragonfiction affected his teeth as they were now all dragon-like. Natsu then start walking.
"They beg me to kill them" he said and then started running toward Laxus while saying "Chaos Dragon's Claw". Laxus didn't have time to react because he was still trying to process what Natsu just said. When Natsu hit him with his leg in head everybody in Cathedral could hear loud sound of cracking bones. Laxus let out cry of pain and then hit the floor few meters away. After barely second Laxus was on his feet looking on himself to find which bone was cracked. Much to his surprise he had only few broken ribs but that was from his earlier attack and if h didn't have any new bone cracked...
Trough Cathedral was heard again that afoul sound and now he was sure from were it came from. He looked at Natsu who was kneeing on floor with his hand on floor as well and watched as bones in him twisted. He watched for few seconds as bones inside his legs twist and torn boots off. After he watched it for few more seconds he realized that this was his chance to inflict some damage.
He started laughing as maniac and shouted "WHO IS WEAK NOW? YOU ARE PATHETIC! I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT IS REAL STRENGTH OF DRAGON SLAYER MY PRINCE!" Laxus said last part in mocking manner with false respect to add mockery. Laxus then started gathering magic energy for attack.
"Lightning Dragon's Jaw" Laxus joins his hands and imbues them with a large amount of lightning. Just when he was about to hit Natsu with attack someone jumped in front of Natsu and yelled "Ice-Make: Shield!"
When attack collided shield cracked. Gray saw this and jumped aside and ice shield shattered. Laxus watched at place were Natsu and Gray was second before but now there was just raising smoke from his attack. He turned around only to find Gajeel who certainly took Natsu to were he was now. It was easy to guess because they were next to each other. Natsu on floor as blood started to go out of his ears, eyes, nose and mouth and Gajeel standing in front of him. Gajeel and Gray were still injured but they had to keep Laxus away from Natsu because Natsu was only one who could beat Laxsu.
"Get. Out. Of. MY. WAY!" Laxus yelled at them trying to get to Natsu so he could kill him before this stop. Laxus knew what dragonfiction was. He was in guild that day and listened.
"Sorry but no can do" Gray said smirking. 'He maybe is cold but he saved us to many times and now it's our time to save him' Gray thought.
"We won't let you get close to him" Gajeel said as Gray walked next to him in front of Natsu. Laxus smiled, then chuckled and after that he started his maniacal laughter.
Natsu was trying not to let out any sound. He didn't want to show that he was weak. But pain was so overwhelming. After long struggle he hissed in pain and Gajeel looked at him from corner of his eye.
"You okay, Souleater?" Gajeel asked in concern.
"Yea... ughh... I'm (cough) perfectly fine (cough)... It's just my lungs (cough) began to disintegrate" Natsu answered sarcastically while coughing up blood. His legs have by now turned into dragon's hind legs.
Gajeel frowned while looking at Natsu. 'What kind of sick parent would do this to his own child?!' he thought. He then returned his attention to still laughing Laxus.
"You really think you can stop me?" Laxus said still laughing.
"We just need to keep you away from our nakama." Gray said with smirk.
Gray had no idea how much that one word mean to Natsu. Despite being in unbearable pain he looked at Gray with wide eyes.
'He thinks of me as a nakama... Even after everything they learn about me... he don't think I'm monster... He don't think it anymore...' Natsu thought and on his lips formed sad smile.
"Well then it seems I'll have to kill you first!" Laxus said with sinister grin and gathering his magic for who know which time in this crazy day. He took deep breath. Gray and Gajeel prepare to protect themselves and Natsu but they were really low on magic. They knew that they would get hit but they needed to protect Natsu.
"Lightning Dragon's RO-"
"STOOOPPPP!" Laxus attack was cut off when they heard someone yelling. They turned to see Levy on door panting.
"Levy?!" Gray and Gajeel yelled in surprise.
"What's wrong?!" Gray asked with worried ton.
"Laxus!" Levy cried ignoring ice mage's question "You have to go back to the guild!" Laxus looked at her like she was crazy "Master... No, I mean your grandfather is DYING!"
Everybody were in utter shock. 'Gramps...' Gray thought and looked at Laxus with his fist clenched.
"PLEASE YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME BEFORE IT'S TO LATE!" Levy said while tears started going down her face. Much to everybody's surprise and fury Laxus started laughing again.
"THAT'S GREAT! GREAT!" he said while laughing like mad man "I CAN BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM!"
Gray couldn't take it any more "YOU BASTAAARRRDDDD!" He yelled on top of his voice. But before he could do anything everybody were sent flying from large shock wave.
Natsu listened what Levy said and when he heard Laxus laughing he was blinded with fury. That was last straw. The dragonfiction will now be complete. First he sent large shock wave that sent everyone flying backwards. Next from him shoot large pillar of chaos energy. He could feel as his bones become larger. As his mouth turned into snout. As his wings become covered with feathers.
Those who were watching this were terrified. They couldn't see what was going on inside that enormous pillar of energy that destroyed almost whole ceiling. Laxus looked terrified just as everyone else. Maybe even more considering that he was enemy of this.. this monster. Suddenly two large eyes opened and glared at them from inside of pillar. Just his eyes were bigger then human. They were bloodthirsty and bloody red. Suddenly large claws shoot from pillar toward Laxus who barely dodge it so that it don't kill him but it still pierced his flash.
RROOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!
They had to cover their ears as lout bloodthirsty roar echoed trough entire Magnolia and forest. Energy died down and before four stood dragon that was bigger then whole Cathedral. Dragon stood in front of what was left from Cathedral. They watched in the most horrible thing that will forever hunt they nightmares. The dragon was spitting image of Acnologia only the blue was replaced with red and his eyes were red.
"N-Natsu?" Gray stuttered watching at mighty creature.
Another roar was only answer he get before dragon said in such unearthly and sinister voice that it was enough to send bravest men in run "LAXUS! YOU WILL BEG FOR HELL AFTER I'M DONE WITH YOU!"
