Hey guys, The 3rd Dragneel here with the chapter we've all been waiting for….the reunion between Natsu Dragneel and the Fairy Tail guild! Look, I admit, it was rather cruel that I cut off just as he reached the guildhall, but there are two reasons I did that: one is because this chapter will solely focus on Natsu introducing everyone to the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance and two…..because I was way too lazy and wanted to get this over with. I know the second reason is so stupid, but that's me being honest.
But there is also something I've been thinking of. I've decided to have both Baron and Ace have a girlfriend. The reason being is because I feel so bad that they have to watch as Natsu gets girl after girl, so I thought why not give them some love. I want to know which girl they should be paired with(I want it to be a FT female that can be in Fairy Tail, or someone from another guild). For Baron, I am doing Chelia since they are around the same age, being how he is almost 16. For Ace, I want to ask you guys who he should be with: Milliana the cat lady or Kagura the swordswoman? You can pitch other girls, but he would only get one, so please tell me who you see him with. Now onto the reviews!

Guest: Yup, this chapter will focus solely on that.
To recap last time: We saw how each member of the Resistance said their goodbyes for their loved ones, though Natsu and Sona did have a rather romantic moment under the pale-moonlight. Gathering their things the next day, the Resistance used their eight Bakugan to transport them to Earthland, where they found the temporary location of the Fairy Tail guildhall. Unbeknownst to them, the Vexos and Spectres detected their Attribute Energies teleporting off world and are preparing to go to this other planet. What nonsense will the Resistance face meeting Natsu's family for the first time, and will Earthland be prepared for the arrival of the Bakugan? Let's find out…..
'The Calamity'
"Are the engines ready for Hyperspeed?" Damus asked from his throne, which was located in the middle of a large command center of the Calamity, which looked much like an Imperial control room. Two rows of his soldiers were currently on their control panels, making sure the ship's diagnostics were fully functional.
"Engines are 120% at full power." Talia said from a terminal on his right.
"Weapons fully charged." Grant said from the left.
"Engineer group Delta has arrived in Ves Palace." Alister said after hearing the confirmation from his headset.
"Our troops are ready for the jump to lightspeed." Roxie said next to Damus. The front of the observation deck suddenly casted a holoscreen, revealing Zenoheld's face.
"Is everything ready for departure?" He asked/demanded the red eyed Brawler.
"Everything is fully functional. Our estimated arrival to this new world should be ten hours. We will contact you when we've arrived."
"I wish you a safe passage Damus, and hopefully we will be able to find the Resistance." With that, the screen turned off, allowing Damus to sigh out loud.
"Honestly, he's become rather annoying, wouldn't you say?" Vali asked his longtime friend, who nodded in agreement. A small white and blue Bakugan bounced onto his shoulder before opening up, revealing a dragon-like creature with blue wings and yellow eyes.
"Yes, but he will serve us well. Perhaps we will finally be able to find a worthy rival in this new world." The Haos Bakugan said as Vali smirked.
"That's what I'm hoping for Albion."
"Prepare for the jump to Hyperspace."
"Yes sir!" Several of the crew members began prepping the engines as they began to roar.
"Jump in three….two….one…..NOW!" Pushing the lever on his throne, Damus ignited the engines.
*BOOM*
In an instant, the Calamity blasted off into space with a massive roar that would make even the strongest of dragons flinch. Inside the ship, Damus watched as his ship traveled at high speed with a thoughtful expression. Let's see how strong you really are…..Natsu Dragneel I only pray that you give me the challenge.
'Earthland, same time'
"Hey guys, miss me?" Natsu asked rhetorically with his usual grin. Behind him was the Bakugan Brawlers, who watched everything unfold.
(Play Fairy Tail Emotional music piano version)
To say the guild was shocked would be a complete understatement. Each member had a very different reaction: Mira, Lucy, Wendy, Levy, Cana, Laki, Kinana, Lisanna and a few other females placed their hands on over their mouths as tears ran down their cheeks while the guys just looked at him in pure shock. Hell, even LAXUS of all people looked in surprise, though he smirked slightly. They couldn't believe it: after all this time….he was back. Some honestly believed this may be some trick pulled by Twilight Ogre or this could be illusion magic at work, yet deep down….they knew he was really there, standing in the doorway with his usual grin. A blue blur suddenly appeared out of nowhere, crashing into the Dragon Slayer's chest, though he stood strong enough to not flinch. Looking down, Natsu smiled as he saw it was none other than his little buddy, who was crying like a baby on his chest. "Natsu, i-is it really you?" He asked between sniffles, getting him to chuckle in amusement as he patted his head.
"Who else do you think it is little buddy?"
"Natsu?" A quiet, male voice said with a strained voice, getting Natsu to look at the speaker, who was revealed to be Romeo Conbolt. The young boy Natsu knew had changed drastically: he now wore an outfit similar to the clothes he wore before Tenrou Island, he even grew some muscles and had a sweater wrapped around his neck like a scarf. The boy looked like he was gonna break down any second, seeing his idol, the person who inspired him to get stronger, the guy who willingly saved his dad, was back. Setting Happy gently on his shoulder, Natsu walked up to his fanboy, still smiling.
"Romeo…..you've gotten taller, and stronger." He then flashed his grin once more. "I'm proud of you." That was it…...those four words were enough to break his limit as the purple haired boy lunged forward, crashing into Natsu's stomach while crying hard. Natsu smiled while patting his head.
"Y-you're back! I thought you…..I thought…."
"Hey, you don't need to cry. Where's that tough little kid that I promised I'd fight when I got back from Tenrou Island? I know he wouldn't want to see you cry." He kneeled down while wiping the tears off of his eyes, giving him a toothy grin. "Now come on, show me how strong you are." The boy wiped away all his tears while smiling for the first time in seven years. "So. are you guys just gonna stand there?"
"NATSU!" Almost instantly, a large majority of the guild charged at Natsu, who willingly opened his arms with a smile. The number of people that hugged him include Wendy, Lisanna, and a few others while the males simply smiled in acknowledgement. Mira, Alice, and Tsubaki were on the verge of tears while Sona fixed her glasses, smiling. Baron cried a stream of anime tears while Kallen smirked. As for Ace, even he couldn't help but smile a bit. As much as he hated to say it, he respected Natsu and seeing him happy was good enough for him.
"Natsu, where were you?!" Wendy shouted while hugging his stomach tightly.
"You got so tall!" Lisanna said, seeing sas he was a few inches taller than the last time they saw him, being half a head taller than Gray.
"Sorry about that guys, but I'm back for good." Looking up, Natsu locked eyes with his lobgtime rival, who glared at him with his arms crossed. Giving a blank expression, he gently pushed Wendy and Lisanna out of the way while walking to Gray.
"What the hell Flame Brain? You don't come back for years and that's how you say hi?" Gray asked with clear irritation. "I swear your brain is bu-" However, Natsu did something no one in the guild expected: He embraced the Ice Make wizard, making him widen his eyes.
"Shut up Stripper." Gray gritted his teeth as tears began to run down his cheeks before he returned the hug.
"Dammit Ash for Brains!"
"Icepop."
"Molten breath."
"Frost princess."
"Pink idiot." As ridiculous as their insults may be, the guild was glad to see Natsu and Gray truly saw each other as brothers.
"Natsu…" Erza barely whispered, her hair shadowed her expression as she pulled Gray away from Natsu.
*SLAP*
The Resistance was shocked to see the red haired woman suddenly slap their friend with enough force to tilt his head, making Natsu groan in pain. "WHERE WERE YOU?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?!" She shouted as tears ran down her cheeks from joy, rage and most of all….sadness. She tried to punch Natsu…..only for him to catch her wrist, much to the guild's shock.
"Erza…" Still filling with a spiral of emotions, she tried to punch him again, only for him to catch her other fist. He looked at her brown eyes with a small smile before speaking. "You still hit as hard as I remember. It's good to see you again." Shaking a bit, the Titania crashed onto his chest as he wrapped an arm around her back while the other rubbed her head, doing his best to comfort her.
"It's good to see you again son." Makarov said with a fatherly smile, making Natsu smile back.
"Same here Gramps, I missed you guys." Wiping a tear off his eye, Macao looked at the doorway and noticed several figures standing there.
"Hey, who are you?" He asked, getting their attention. Natsu let Erza go before grinning at the Resistance while walking to them.
"Come on guys, say hi!" Nodding, the five females and two males walked in the guild as everyone looked at them(the males were whispered at how beautiful the girls were.) "Everyone, say hello to my friends!"
"Hello, my name is Mira Clay." Mira said while bowing with her hands clapped in front of her.
"I am Sona Sitri, it's nice to meet you all." Sona said with her own bow.
"Tsubaki Nakatsukasa, it's an honor." Tsubaki said with a bow.
"Hello everyone, my name is Alice Gehabich." Alice said with a bow.
"Kallen Kozuki, sup." Kallen said with a nod.
"Name's Ace Grit." Ace said simply with his arms crossed.
"And I'm Baron Leltoy!" Baron shouted with pure excitement. "Wow, this place is so cool!" Natsu stepped between them, still grinning.
"I've been staying with them for a while, and they wanted to come meet you guys. Is that alright Gramps?"
"Any friend of yours is a friend to Fairy Tail." Makarov jumped off the bar and walked up to the group with a fatherly smile. "Thank you for taking care of my child. I know how difficult he can be at times."
"Hey!"
"Well he does go around starting fights." Natsu glared at Ace.
"He's not wrong." Kallen remembered how he would punch any guy who would check her or any of the other girls out, not that she was complaining. As for Natsu, he just pouted like a child.
"But don't worry sir, Natsu has helped us more than once, so you don't have to worry." Smiling, Natsu wrapped an arm around Mira's shoulder before giving her a peck on the cheek, much to her embarrassment.
"Thanks, at least someone isn't mean." Unbeknownst to him, everyone in the guild looked at him like he grew a second head. He turned back to his family while blinking a bit. "What?"
"N-Natsu, did you just…..kiss her?" Lucy asked in shock and confusion as he tilted his head.
"Isn't it normal for a boyfriend to kiss one of his girlfriends?"
"!" Pretty much everyone in the guild gave him a 'what in the hell' kind of expression, even tough guys like Laxus looked at him in shock. Did he, Natsu Dragneel, the most densest, idiotic, hot headed Dragon Slayer….just say boyfriend and girlfriend?
"Wait…...what do you mean by ONE of your girlfriends?" The other girls blushed while Natsu just smiled.
"Because they're all my girlfriends."
….
…..
…
"EEEEHHHHHH?!" The whole guildhall shook from the sheer volume of Fairy Tail's reaction, so much so Natsu was forced to cover his ears in pain.
"Dammit pinky, you really are an idiot." Ace muttered while shaking his head.
"What the hell was that all about? Geez, I almost went deaf guys."
"W-well it is a bit shocking." Alice admitted with a nervous smile, a bit embarrassed by their reaction to her and the other four girls being with Natsu.
"Natsu, did you just say that ALL FIVE of them are…..your girlfriends?"
"Yes."
"Do you know what a girlfriend is?"
"Yes." His tone began to show some signs of annoyance.
"Are you sure?"
"For the love of…" Pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance, Natsu decided to prove how he has five girlfriends. Taking a deep breath, he turned to Mira….before pressing his lips against hers, causing the guild to jawdrop in shock while Mira blushed heavily. Pulling back, he then kissed Sona, then Kallen, then Tsubaki and finally Alice, each and everyone of them were a blushing mess as he looked at them with a blank expression. "Does THAT answer your question?"
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w…." Some of the girls blushed at how Natsu just kissed five of his new female friends while the guys gave him a jealous glare.
"So…...do you lllliiiikkkkkeeeeee them?!" Happy asked with a very teasing voice as the girls and guys looked at him in shock.
"A talking cat….he wasn't kidding." Kallen muttered.
"So amazing." Tsubaki muttered in awe. Smiling, Alice reached out and pulled Happy into a hug.
"Awww, you're so cute." She began scratching him behind the ear, causing him to purr.
"Natsu, I like your girlfriend."
"I'm glad little buddy." Makarov coughed in his hand while smiling at Natsu.
"Natsu, I can't tell you how proud I am that you returned, and to bring such lovely ladies with you. Gildarts would be so proud." His pink eyebrow twitched a bit at the mention of his father figure. When he was younger, Gildarts tried to show him the 'true art' of a woman, which immediately bored him since all he cared about was eating and fighting. If that old bastard knew he had not one, but five girlfriends, he would never hear the end of it. A small red and orange ball landed on Natsu's shoulder before opening up, looking at him.
"Is Gildarts the one who taught you how to fight?" Leonidas asked curiously.
"Nah, but he did teach me a few things. He was just a big prev."
"A prev?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know. What do you think of the guild Leo?"
"It's rather nice in here. Almost like a warm environment."
"Yeah, but this isn't where we should be." The guild looked at Natsu in shock as he was talking to the dragon-like...creature on his shoulder. "But trust me, when we start partying, it'll be awesome."
"I look forward to that."
"Oi, what the hell is on your shoulder Salamander?" Gajeel asked rather rudely from his table, getting the Resistance attention.
"Huh?" A few dots appeared on his head before realization hit Natsu. "Oh right! You guys don't know about them. Well guys, this is my friend Leonidas, or Leo for short." Said Bakugan jumped off Natsu's shoulder before landing on the nearest table.
"Hello Fairy Tail, it is truly an honor to meet all of you."
"The same goes for us." Wilda said as he and the other Bakugan jumped behind Leonidas, looking at the guild. "My name is Wilda and these are my friends Tyna, Ingram, Nemus, Percival, Gurin, Vladitor and Hydranoid." Each Bakugan bowed their heads in respect.
"W-where did they come from?" Natsu rubbed the back of his neck while smiling sheepishly.
"I guess I might as well tell you…." He let out a sigh before saying something they never expected. "They're not from Earthland."
'Vestal Palace'
"The power converter is right here." One of the Vestal scientists told the engineer group of the Spectres. Currently, they were being given a tour of the Vestal research department, where all the new weapons and mechanical Bakugan were being constructed.
"And where do you keep the designs for the mechanical Bakugan?" The chief engineer, who wore the standard uniform with the exception of a blue star over his right breast asked with a hint of curiosity
"Professor Clay is the one who designs the blueprints for the second generation mechanical Bakugan, and with that ore sample your leader had given us, we will be able to create a third generation. Tell me, is it possible for your leader to give more of this ore for our machines?"
"Sorry pal, our trust needs to be earned." The left engineer, who had a red claw mark on the left side of his helmet while crossing his arms.
"What about would the next generation mechanical Bakugan look like?" A feminine voice with a slender build judging by her armor, as well as her pink tiger mark asked.
"That information is classified at the moment." The scientist brought them to the teleport room, wear some of the other scientists were working on improving their telepad for future events. "Here is where you three will work. Judging by the info your leader has given us, you three are the best when it comes to creating new weapons. Hopefully your skills will prove useful for us."
"We'll try our best." Nodding in agreement, the scientist left to attend his own duties as the trio walked to the telepad, placing their large metallic suitcases on the floor. "Alright Luna, Chrom, do you now the plan?"
"Make it look like we're working, put the bug in the systems, try not to screw up? Yup, everything checks out."
"Don't worry Vector, we'll achieve our goal." Nodding at his female ally, Vector took a smaller box from the case as he and Luna walked to the mainframe while Chrom got to work on the telepad. Kneeling down, he opened the box, revealing a small metal spider and small Ipad inside. Gently putting it on his hand, he placed it near the vents before opening it. Taking out the pad, he turned it on, allowing the spider to power on. "Ziggy is online and entering the vents." The spider began to crawl through the vents, its magnetic feet climbed the metal surface. It took some time, but Ziggy was able to enter the main research room, where it saw Professor Clay and Hydron looking at the strange Subterra blade, which was currently in an anti-gravity field.
"What is taking so long Professor?" Hydron asked through the video with a rather impatient tone.
"It isn't as easy as e thought my prince. Even after extracting this weapon off of New Vestroia, we're still unable to grasp it, let alone analyze its true capabilities." Clay said, looking at the sword.
"While I don't believe in fairy tales, perhaps this weapon chooses who gets to use it."
"No prince Hydron, don't touch it!" Reaching through the field, Hydron grabbed the handle of the sword.
*BOOM*
"GUAH!" The gravity around the former prince suddenly increased, causing him to fall on his knees. Luckily, he let go on the hilt before any permanent damage could be inflicted.
"I told you, the sword has some kind of defense measure. Perhaps these people could help us unlock its secrets. Then, we will be able to use it against the Resistance."
"Arrogant bastards." Chrom said with a groan, hearing the conversation.
"Trust me, they have no idea what power the sword has." Reaching into his pocket, Vector placed a small device inside the mainframe before closing it….should the Vexos prove…...unuseful in the future. "Damus will be pleased."
'Fairy Tail guildhall, sometime later'
If the guild wasn't shocked earlier, they were now. The story….the experience they heard from Natsu and his friends was so…...unbelieveable. "So let me get this straight." Lucy started, being the first to speak to Natsu and the Resistance, who were currently seated in one of the large round tables, the Bakugan were in the center while Happy was on Alice's lap as she continued to scratch his ears, much to his joy. "These 'Bakugan' are from a world called Vestroia."
"Yeah." Natsu answered simply.
"And Mira, Ace and Baron are from a planet called Vestal?" Mirajane asked.
"Correct." Sona said with a nod.
"And the rest of you are from another planet called Earth, where there is no magic?" Levy asked while writing in her book.
"Right." Kallen said while leaning back on her chair.
"And for the past seven years, you've all been fighting a ground of Vestals called the Vexos, who want to take over?" Lisanna asked with a tilt of her head.
"Actually, it was only eight months ago. The time between this world and Earth must run differently." Alice said while stroking Happy's back, getting him to purr.
"Hmmm…." Makarov crossed his arms as he eyes were closed in thought. It wasn't the strangest thing he has ever heard, especially since he had someone like Mystogan in his guild, and HE was from another world opposite of Earthland for god's sake! Not only that, but the way Natsu spoke, he was speaking truthfully. "Natsu." He said with a serious tone as he locked eyes with the Dragon Slayer. "Is what you say true?"
"I am Gramps."
"There is one thing I want to know: why were you away for so long?" The pink haired male lowered his head in shame.
"It's not like I wanted to come back but…..there were times I wasn't able to help my friends, times I wasn't strong enough…." his kind flashed back to his battle with Gus and…...Spectra. That day he lost his partner, someone he grew fond of. He was almost killed by Spectra pushing him beyond his limits, and if he died…. "I couldn't come back, not until I was strong enough to protect my friends, to protect Fairy Tail." He clenched his fist tighter. "Look, I'm sorry I didn't come back earlier. Maybe if I did, then Fairy Tail would still be number one." Taking a deep breath, he looked at the guild with a serious and determined look. "But I promise you guys, no matter what, we'll make the guild number one, and that's a promise." The old guildmaster gave a proud smile at the Dragon Slayer.
He truly has grown up. If you had told Makarov that Natsu would become such a mature young man, he'd probably think you were drunk. "You do prove a point Natsu. We will push ourselves into making our guild number 1. As long as we have our bonds with us, then we can prevail." He then raised his left hand while sticking out his index finger and thumb in the air. "Even if I can't see you, no matter how far away you may be….Fairy Tail will always be watching you, and we will be Number 1!"
"YEAH!" Every single member of the Fairy Tail raised their hands, copying their guildmaster's actions while smiling proudly. To say the Resistance and Bakugan were amazed at the site of Fairy Tail would be a complete understatement. They knew this guild was like family from what Natsu said, but now that they see it, it was so…..warm.
"They really are a family." Ingram said with a 'smile.'
"Now this is something I can get used too." Gurin agreed with a nod.
"Aahhhh, that was so cool!" Baron shouted as tears ran down his eyes before he suddenly hugged the poor guildmaster, using all his strength. "Master Natsu was right, you ARE the coolest old man ever!"
"And there goes the moment." Kallen said dryly as everyone sweatdropped at the youngest Brawler's behavior.
"Hehehe, that's Baron for ya." Chuckling a bit, Natsu looked down with a smile. "But there is something I wanna ask you guys."
"What's up?"Natsu ran a hand through his face before he looked at his guild with a smirk.
"Fight me."
"Eh?"
"Come on. I haven't been here in a long time, and I wanna show you guys how strong I've gotten, so let's fight."
"You just wanna get your ass kicked, don't you Flame Brain?" Gray asked with a smirk. "Fine, let's do it." The girls of the Resistance loked at him in shock before turning away.
"Woah, Natsu was right. You are a stripper!" Raising a brow at Baron, Gray looked down…...only to see that he was in his boxers.
"When did that happen?!" Erza slammed her fist on his head for being so indecent in front of their guests.
"I can see why Natsu talks about hitting him so much." Percival said with a sweatdrop as Ace narrowed his eyes.
Hang on, he keeps calling me Gray, so….. "You idiot!" Standing up, the male Darkus Brawler lifted Natsu by the collar and glared at him. "Why the hell would you compare me to that stripper?!"
"Huh, sorry I wasn't listening." Natsu gave him a confused look, but one could clearly see a twinkle in his eye.
"You've been telling them I'm a stripper Natsu?!"
"Say that AFTER you put your clothes on!" Lucy shouted since he was STILL half naked.
"No, stay like that my darling Gray!" Juvia Lockser shouted with hearts in her eyes.
"Well, this is….interesting." Sona said, a bit nervous about what was going on. After the strange…..antics of Fairy Tail, everyone went outside to the training grounds, where some people were taking bets on who would win. So far, everyone expect the Resistance(who didn't have the currency used in Earthland), Wendy, Lucy, Happy, Romeo and a few others put their money on Natsu while others put in on Gray.
"Alright, the fight between Gray and Natsu will now begin! Each side will fight until one or both are unable to continue. Also, do not try to cripple the other, am I clear?" Both males nodded as they looked at each other.
"So I forgot to ask, but can all of you use magic?" Mira asked Lucy, despite Natsu informing them what his guild could do.
"Yup, and let me guess: Natsu showed you his magic?" They all nodded as she sighed. "For what it's worth, we're sorry if he burned anything down."
"Relax blonde, he helped us more than anything." Kallen said as she looked at Gray. "So why the hell does Natsu hate Gray?"
"Well….I wouldn't say hate. Both of them are good friends, even if he won't say it. I thought the reason they fought was because of Gary's magic."
"And what magic does Gray use?" Tyna asked curiously.
"Who cares?! I bet it's so cool!" Baron shouted in glee.
"Alright….START!"
"Here I come Ashtray!" Gray put his right fist on his left palm as an icy aura escaped it. "Ice Make: Sword!" A large sword made completely out of ice was formed in Gray's hands, much to the Resistance and Bakugan's shock.
"Ice?"
"Ice Make magic. It lets the user make any weapon they want." Levy answered.
"Wow, so that's why he and Master Natsu keep fighting." Buckling his legs, Gray charged towards Natsu while holding the sword with both hands. Natsu lost his smile as he gave a serious expression, something that didn't go unnoticed by Erza and Makarov. Just as he was about to slash Natsu….he caught the blade with one hand.
"What?!"
"You gotta try better than that." Using a bit of his fire magic, Natsu instantly melted Gray's weapon. Getting over his shock, Gray prepared another spell.
"Ice Make Hammer!" In his hands, a large hammer made entirely of ice appeared as he swung it at Natsu.
*SLAM*
However, Natsu slammed his left fist into the ice while using some of his fire magic, causing it to break apart. Gray couldn't even express his shock as Natsu slammed his knee into his gut, making him cough saliva as he was sent several feet away. "What the hell is going on?! Before Natsu and Gray were even, and now he's owning him!" Max shouted in pure shock.
"I guess he really wasn't slacking off." Warren said with some fear in his voice. Wiping his mouth, Gray glared at Natsu.
"Not bad Natsu, but that won't happen again."
"Like I haven't heard that a million times from bad guys on tv." Growling a bit, Gray used his magic to summon a large bow.
"Ice Make Arrows!" A large barrage of ice arrows were launched at Natsu.
"Woah, he really isn't holding back, is he?" Nemus said out loud.
"Natsu will pull through." Leonidas said with pure trust in his partner. Smirking a bit, Natsu decided to increase his body temperature. The heat he was emitting hit the spectators as they began to sweat.
"Woah, since when could Natsu do that?" Jet said while wiping his brow. The arrows began to evaporate in the air before they could even come close to hitting Natsu.
"Holy crap!" Droy shouted as everyone aside from the Resistance widened their eyes.
His magic has grown. What kind of training have you done Natsu?
"Now it's my turn Gray." Igniting his fists, Natsu suddenly charged at Gray at high speed.
"Ice Make-!" Before he could finish, Natsu slammed his fist onto his temple, causing him to tumble on the ground.
"Fire Dragon Explosion Fist." Natsu slammed his fist onto the ground, causing a large explosion to occur.
"Ice Make Shield!" Thinking on his feet, Gray summoned a large ice barrier to shield himself from the explosions, however it began to melt from the force of the attack. Little did he know, Natsu charged at him once again.
"Gotta ya. Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Natsu punched the shield so hard, it shattered easily as he punched Gray hard on the cheek, causing him to crash on the ground.
What the hell?! How did he get this stronger? I can barely get up. Gray tried to stand up, but the force from those attacks weakened him.
"That's it, Gray is finished! Natsu Dragneel wins!" The guild was amazed at how Natsu was able to easily beat his rival while the Resistance were impressed with Gray's magic.
"Woah, I wonder what other magic everyone else has!" A thought appeared in Baron's mind. "Hey, can WE learn how to use magic?"
"It would be interesting to see that." Vladitor admitted, seeing as how he uses some manner of dark magic in his attacks.
"Come on, that wasn't a good fight." Natsu put his hands behind his head while frowning a bit. "Does anyone else wanna fight cause I'm getting bored."
"Alright Salamander, I'm next." Gajeel walked out of the crowd while giving a cocky smirk and cracked his knuckles.
"So that's Gajeel huh? Natsu's right, he does look kinda like a punk."
"Now now, don't be rude." Tsubaki whispered to her longtime friend. As Natsu looked at Gajeel, he couldn't help but smile a bit.
"Good to see ya again pinhead. Show me what ya got." He gave a 'come at me' hand gesture at his fellow Dragon Slayer. Snarling a bit, Gajeel charged at Natsu at high speed, like when he protected Levy from Laxus years ago. Then, his right arm transformed into a long metal spear.
"Iron Dragon Spear: Demon Log!" Faster than a machine gun, Gajeel began thrusting his weaponized arm at Natsu, who moved his head left and right while stepping back.
"Hang on, he said Iron Dragon. Does that mean….."
"Gajeel is also a Dragon Slayer." A tough voiced called out next to Ace. He expected to see a very tall and buff guy say that, but he and the others were surprised to see the speaker….was a black and white panther-like cat with round ears holding a red sword on his back and green shorts on him. The small black cat smirked while crossing his little arms. "He's the Iron Dragon Slayer, which allows him to eat metal, as well as transform his body into iron as a means of defense."
"Wow, another talking cat! This is so cool!" Baron kneeled down in front of Lily before shaking his hand, causing him to go up and down. "Hi, my name's Baron!"
"Please…..let…..me…..go!" Realizing his mistake, Baron let go of the car as he landed on Mira's lap. "My name…..is Pantherlily, but everyone…..calls me Lily."
"It's nice to meet you." Mira rubbed his head as he sighed a bit. "How strong is Gajeel anyways?"
"From what I've gathered, Natsu was able to beat them years before, but I still have faith in him." Going back to the battle, Natsu tilted his head to the right before his right hand caught Gajeel's spear.
"Wha-?!" he didn't finish as Natsu slammed his forehead onto his own, causing him to groan in pain.
"Fire Dragon…" He placed his left palm on Gajeel's stomach as it lite on fire. "Blastwave!" Suddenly, a large wave of fire was shot out of Natsu's palm, successfully hitting Gajeel on the chest as he was sent flying. He gave Gajeel a teasing smirk. "Dude, you can do way better than that, or have you gotten lazy since I left."
"I've never seen this side of Natsu before." Lisanna said with shock and a hint of concern in her voice.
"He's a real man now!" Elfman shouted in his 'manly' tone.
"Master, you see it too, don't you?" Erza said in a serious tone as he nodded.
"Natsu may be smiling, but he's taking this battle all too seriously." He could see in Natsu's eyes that he wasn't messing around, but there was still a part of him that was having fun. "If he continues this path, then…..he may be able to surpass even Gildarts."
"That's it Salamander, now I'm pissed!" Standing up, Gajeel took a deep breath as a green magic circle appeared in front of him.
"Hang on, look at that stance." Wilda said.
"Yeah, it's the same as Natsu's…...which means this is-"
"Iron Dragon….ROAR!" Gajeel blasted a spiral of metal shards at Natsu, almost similar to how his fire dragon roar worked. Instead of getting out of the way, Natsu smirked as he ignited his left hand. The attack was but a mere foot from Natsu….before he backhanded it with his fist, causing it to hit the ground.
"Still strong…...but not enough." Grabbing his wrist with his left hand, Natsu began charging fire into his right hand as he reeled it back. "Here's a little something I learned from Laxus….Fire Dragon….Breakdown Fist!" A large fire blast in the shape of a fist was launched from Natsu's hand, heading straight towards Gajeel.
*BOOM*
Luckily for Gajeel, he was fast enough to jump out of the way, but the force from the attack caused a large explosion, blasting wind nearby. Everyone was forced to cover up from the sudden attack. Shit! If I was a second later….Salamander's stronger than before. What kind of training did he have? "Hey Metalhead!" Natsu ran towards Gajeel with a serious smirk. "Don't think I'm done!"
"Woah, he's really having a blast huh?" Kallen said with a raised brow.
"He hasn't really fought anyone besides Leo for months, so I guess it is to be expected." Sona said while fixing her glasses. Gajeel attempted to punch Natsu, only for him to turn his body and grab his arm.
"GOING DOWN!" Elbowing Gajeel in the gut, Natsu threw him over his shoulder, slamming him hard on the ground.
"Well damn, where the hell did he learn that?" Wakaba asked while taking a puff from his smoke.
"You done?" Though he really hated to admit it, Gajeel was tired. The power behind each and every one of Natsu's attacks was hard to handle, even from those bastards from Grimoire Heart.
"Tch, fine, you win. Only because I didn't feel like kicking your ass." Chuckling, Natsu reached his hand out to Gajeel, who took it before standing up with a small smirk. "Not bad Salamander, you got stronger. But don't think I'll take this sitting down."
"Hehe, I know you won't metalhead." The two of them fist bumped as a sign of respect for one another. "So, anyone else?" No one really wanted to fight Natsu, especially now that they've seen how powerful he's become in the last few months. "Oh come on guys! I wanna keep fighting!"
"Very well Natsu. Since you're so confident in your skills….battle me." Erza stepped for with her usual stoic glare. Instead of shaking like a chihuahua like he would've done years ago, Natsu grinned widely at the chance to prove himself to Erza. Happy hummed a bit before he pulled out some jewel and offered it to Makarov, who was keeping track of the bets.
"I'd like to change my bet to Erza please." The fire Dragon Slayer face faulted as a sense of deja vu entered his mind.
"Are you serious Happy?!"
"Sorry Natsu but….." The blue cat looked at him with an innocent smile. "But you can't beat Erza in a million years."
Talk about an evil cat. Though they had heard from Natsu that Happy would sometimes doubt his strength against Erza, it still didn't make it any less ridiculous.
"Will Natsu be okay?" Wendy asked in pure concern for her role model.
"Only time will tell child. He has gotten stronger if he could defeat both Gray and Gajeel with little to no effort." Carla said to try and ease her concern. Despite not being a fighter, Carla could still tell Natsu had changed drastically from the idiot she met at Blue Pegasus.
"About time we got to fight Erza."
"Don't think I'll go easy on you Natsu." His grinned turned to a soft smile.
"I won't have it any other way." Returning her smile, Erza's body began to glow.
"What's going on? Is she also a Dragon Slayer?" Percival asked before the light died out and he and the others couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Instead of her Heart Kreuz armor, Erza now wore a predominantly dark red armor with orange and black parts, with the orange parts being shaped like flames and the other parts being reminiscent of dragon limbs. It consists of the following parts: the breastplate, the gauntlets and the greaves. The breastplate lacks pauldrons, revealing her shoulders, and extends down to cover her groin, revealing her legs and, in a way, being reminiscent of a one piece swimming suit, with an orange part covering her breasts and another one circling her waist like a belt. The black parts are mostly decorative, with the exception of the one covering her groin. The breastplate also possesses a pair of Dragon-like wings attached to it. The gauntlets sport prominent orange decorations, along with small claw-like protrusions on the hands. The greaves are shaped like Dragon's claws which possess orange-colored knee guards and black parts which extend up from the knees to the upper part of the thighs. Erza's hair wass tied into a pair of high, long pigtails by clips, resembling Dragon's horns in some way. "W-what the hell?!" Ace had the decency to blush, as well as Alice, Tsubaki and Mira while Kallen raised a brow and the Bakugan were speechless.
"Woah, so cool! She has dragon armor!" Baron, yet again, gushed like a fanboy at Erza's new armor, oblivious to her figure. However…...the same couldn't be said for Sona. Her expression darkened as she saw how…..amazing Erza's body was behind that set of armor. While she took some pride in her petite figure since Natsu said it made her even cuter(imagine how much she wanted to faint at that time), she was still the only one among her friends besides Runo to lack in the…...chest area, and seeing as most of Fairy Tail had big breasted females with the exception of Levy and Wendy didn't help either.
"Sona, is something wrong?" Tyna asked, worriedly.
"I'm…...fine…." She muttered, still feeling very self conscious.
"Is that dragon armor?"
"Actually, it isn't." Mirajane said with her usual sweet smile. "That's one of Erza's armor, the Flame Empress Armor. It not only gives her fire magic, but it also cuts the damage from fire magic in half." She then had a small look of concern in her eyes. "I'm just worried that Natsu might be in over his head."
"Does she have more armor?"
"Yup. If I can recall, she has….over one hundred sets of armor."
"EH?!" The Resistance was beyond shocked that someone owned that much armor. Sure some girls had a bunch of clothes, bras, skirts etc in their closets, but having over one hundred sets of armor was a bit extreme.
"Excuse me miss, but how does she keep track of each armor?" Nemus asked politely as she smiled at him.
"That's easy: she uses a magic known as Requip, which lets her change her clothes through the pocket dimension, which is why she was able to change her clothes."
"COOL!"
"Let's do this Erza." Natsu charged at Erza with his right fist reeled back. Thinking fast, Erza used her Flame Empress Sword to block him, causing the ground under them to crack slightly.
"You should know that your fire magic won't work well against this armor." Pushing him back, Erza began slashing at Natsu with impressive speed. Much to her surprise, he was able to dodge each of her slashes. He's even able to dodge my attacks. Impressive.
"I know, but that doesn't mean I can't try to break it!" Ducking one of her slashes, he slammed his right hand on the ground while lighting his left foot on fire and kicking it towards Erza, who jumped back with her wings. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" Igniting both arms, Natsu wiped his flames at Erza, who used her sword to block it, but even so, the force behind it pushed her back a bit.
"Even if his firepower was cut in half, he was still able to push Erza!"
"Jesus, how did he get so strong?"
"Impressive Natsu, I actually felt that." Erza smirked before her body began to glow yet again.
"Oh, another armor!" When the light died out, Erza now wore a gold and light bluish armor. The breastplate is decorated by golden trimmings, and has thin plates going up to surround Erza's neck; the similarly adorned pauldrons are composed of two plates one over the other, with the top ones each sporting a prominent protrusion. Similar protrusions, although less prominent, can also be seen on the armored gauntlets which cover the entirety of Erza's arms; the greaves, on the other hand, possess matching protrusion on them, with a particularly large pair adorning the knee guards, but are instead composed of plates attached to simple, thigh-high boots with high heels. The armor lacks a waistguard, instead sporting a decorated cloth hanging down from the breastplate to cover Erza's groin, sporting a single piece on the top front and three on the back, which are decorated by large spheres with fur-like ornaments hanging from them. When using this armor, Erza's head gets adorned by a band with two ribbons on it, and her hair gets styled in a long braid. Also, the armor's weapon of choice seems to be a long spear, with a very large blade and a decorated circle resembling a shield attaching it to the shaft, which is adorned by a large ribbon. Erza spun her spear as lightning crackled around it.
"Ohhh, Lightning Empress armor. Not bad Erza."
"Man, it feels like Natsu is fighting Laxus.
"First fire, now lightning. Erza's really adept at using different elements." Tyna was even more impressed with Erza, seeing as how she has the ability to change her attribute.
"HHAAA!" Erza shot a bolt of lightning from her spear, straight towards Natsu, who only grinned before he opened his mouth….
*CRUNCH*
The whole guild was beyond shocked at what had just happened. Just as the lightning was about to hit Natsu….he caught it with his mouth! And the weirdest thing was….that he was literally eating it like it was a chicken leg. He sucked up all the lightning before swallowing it whole, burping a bit. "Man! I haven't tried lightning magic, but man is it tasty! I wonder if this is what Laxus tastes everyday."
"NATSU ATE LIGHTNING!" Happy shouted in pure shock before he ran to Makarov. "Can I change my bet please?"
"Sorry my boy, but no more changing bets." As the small cat cried at losing his money, Makarov couldn't help but smile at Natsu. Now he can use Laxus' lightning magic. You never cease to amaze me Natsu.
"What, you guys didn't think I just practiced with my fire magic, did ya? It isn't the strongest, I can use lightning by itself, like this." Clenching his left fist, lightning suddenly crackled around it.
So he's finally using my lightning. Not bad Natsu. Laxus thought with a tiny smirk. Of course he won't say that he was stronger than him, but he would be lying if he said Natsu's growth hadn't impressed him.
"Lightning Dragon Bolt Fist!" Natsu charged at Erza with his newly electrified fist, forcing Erza to block it with her spear. He grinned before igniting his right fist. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Erza pulled her head back to dodge the oncoming fist.
I can't use my Lightning Empress armor now that he can use both elements. Same for my Flame Empress. "Requip!" For the third time, Erza's body began to glow before she wore armor is black in color, sporting some silver trimming. A distinctive feature of the armor is its pair of wings, which are reminiscent of those of a Dragon or a bat. Around Erza's neck is a neck guard decorated by several gems, and, while wearing this armor, her long scarlet hair is tied up in a high ponytail, with two bangs framing her face. Her large shoulder pads, each composed of two silver-edged plates one over the other, sport silver crosses on them too, and flank the high collar, whose shape is reminiscent of that of a dress. The silver-edged breastplate reveals a fair amount of Erza's cleavage and belly, with plates flanking her hips and reaching down to her very large waistguard, composed of very long, silver-edged plates shaped like feathers and decorated by silver crosses. The waistguard leaves the front of Erza's body exposed, with her groin being covered by a dark indument. The slim gauntlets come equipped with prominent protection for her hands, each sporting silver patterns. The plates guarding her legs are silver-edged on her thighs and knees, but pitch black dark on her metal greaves. The usually tough Ace felt a trickle of blood run down his nose before he turned away.
Why the hell is more of her armor less covered? This place is weird! As for Sona, a dark cloud appeared over her head, seeing another armor that showed even more cleavage than the Flame Empress armor.
"What's this armor?"
"That would be Erza's Blackwing armor. It gives her increased power and flight." Mira continued to smile. "Natsu must really be pushing Erza to the limit if he forced her to use her other armor."
"Blackwing huh? Now I'm all fired up!" Natsu ignited both arms before he whipped them forward. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" Using her wings, Erza flew back before she rushed Natsu with her sword, swinging it left and right.
"HYAH!" Erza swung her blade, forcing Natsu to jump back. Smirking, she summoned a black axe in her left hand before slashing it.
"Crap!" He wasn't fast enough to dodge as Erza's axe slash his cheek.
"MOON SLASH!" Putting some of her magic into her sword, Erza slashed Natsu on the stomach, pushing him several feet back. The Resistance looked at the Dragon Slayer in worry, seeing as he was just hit pretty hard. "You impressed me Natsu, but now it's over." Opening her wings, Erza flew forward, ready to take down Natsu.
*DING*
That is….until he caught her sword with one hand. "You know….I really did miss fighting you all this time." He said in a low tone, his hair shadowing his expression. "But I made I promise…" Suddenly, his whole body was engulfed in lightning coated fire as he gave her a feral smirk. "That the next time I see you….I WAS GONNA BEAT YOU!" Due to the immense heat, Erza was forced to jump back. "Lightning Flame Dragon Fist!" Using his enhanced flames, he thrusted it forward as Erza put her sword in a defensive manner. The fist made contact with her weapon, the force slowly pushed her back a few feet.
*Crack*
Her eyes widened in shock as her sword began to crack before it snapped in half. "Requip!" She quickly engulfed her body in a bright light before it died out. "Are you kidding me?!" Ace had to look away to prevent any blood from leaking out his nose.
"B-but why would she wear something that…..r-revealing?" Tsubaki asked with an embarrassed blush as she and the others looked at Erza's new armor. Almost every part of this armor is seemingly made of silver metal. The upper part of this armor only consists of a small breastplate that is composed of feather-shaped plates pointing upwards with a large metal flower on the front which extends along her hips. Her biceps are covered by metal straps and her very large plated gauntlets sport feather-shaped plates at the edges. Her waist is circled by large, decorated plates reminiscent of feathers that lie on a long skirt. She wears a pair of plated boots which is partially hidden under her skirt, each sporting metal ornaments shaped like wings. Erza also wears a neck guard made of feather-like plates and a tiara with prominent metal wings. The armor also sports two pairs of large metal wings which adorn Erza's back, composed of metal feathers which get longer and larger at the edges. Now thunder was hovering over Sona's head, feeling so insignificant because of her chest size.
"W-well this is…...different." Leonidas said, not knowing what else to say.
"She looks like an angel. SO COOL!" And of course, being the innocent one he was, Baron gushed at how awesome Erza's new armor was.
"W-what armor is…...that?" Mira asked, feeling a bit self conscious as Erza's double D cups were bigger than her own.
"That's Erza's Heaven's Wheel armor. It lets her summon as many swords as she wants." Lucy smiled a bit, recalling how she first saw this armor in action during their first mission against Eisenwald.
Wow, now that I think about it, Erza does look nice in that armor. But she DOES look good anywa-WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?! Natsu had to shake his head to get rid of those thoughts.
"Is something wrong Natsu?" Erza raised a curious brow.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Getting rid of his blush, he gave her a toothy grin. "Let's finish this!"
"Very well." Raising her arms, Erza summoned a large amount of swords in the air, making Baron's eyes sparkle in glee.
"Amazing/she summoned/all those weapons." Hydranoid said in a slightly impressed tone.
"Go!" Aiming her right sword forward, Erza ordered all her swords to fly towards Natsu at high speed. However, something amazing happened in front of everyone. Natsu's lightning began to dance a bit…..before he disappeared. "What?!"
"HHAAAA!" Underneath Erza, a pillar of lightning-powered fire was shot at her, forcing her to fly back. "Damn, almost had ya."
"How the hell did he do that? I barely saw him move!"
"It's the lightning." Sona rubbed her chin in thought. "Based on his movements, Natsu used his lightning to move faster than the eye could see before using his fire to attack."
"He really has gotten faster." Wilda commented in awe as Leonidas 'smirked.'
"That's because Leo and him trained every few days in New Vestroia. Sometimes he asked me, Ingram, or Hydranoid to practice." Gurin said with a tired sigh, remembering all the bruises he received from his brawler's boyfriend.
"Circle Sword!" Several swords behind Erza began to spin in a large circle before she gestured it to Natsu. The wheel of swords flew towards Natsu like a large buzzsaw.
"Lightning Flame Dragon Firing Hammer!" Natsu's forearm was covered with fire and lightning before he blasted it at Erza's attack. Almost instantly, it destroyed her attack as she moved to the side, only for her right wing to be melted a bit. The force from the attack caused everyone to sweat a bit.
"Man, Natsu's really heating things up." Alzack said, needing a cool drink after this.
"Yeah, never thought he'd be so serious against Erza." Bisca added while fanning herself with her hat.
"Trinity Sword!" Erza sent three energy slashes at Natsu, who broke it with his lightning-enhanced fire.
"Time to finish this." Natsu began to bounce left and right, trying to distract Erza as he got closer. She sent more swords at the Dragon Slayer, only for him to dodge each and every one. Slamming his foot on the ground, Natsu jump high in the air, his right hand reeled back. "Lightning Flame Dragon Iron Fist!"
Dammit, I can't attack in time! Erza crossed her blades in an attempted to block his fist..
*SNAP*
However, like with her Blackwing armor sword, his fist was able to shatter her sword as he slammed his fist onto her stomach, making her gasp as her armor broke. "It's over Erza!" He put more power behind his fist, throwing Erza hard on the ground. The Titania fell on her knees, feeling the pressure behind the punch, using one of her swords to balance her. Natsu landed on the ground, walking up to her with glowing red eyes. He raised his hand up, looking like he was gonna strike her down.
"Natsu, no!" However, just as he was about to punch Erza…...he offered her a hand.
"That was awesome Erza!"
"What?" He looked down at her with a toothy grin, causing her to blush slightly before she took his hand, allowing her to stand up.
"It's been awhile since I fought like that. So thanks for fighting me. Looks like I'm beat you." Erza sighed, but she had a small smile as she requipped into a white blouse and her blue skirt.
"Yes, you have Natsu, and I'm very proud." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly while blushing a bit.
"Thanks."
*Grrr*
Natsu's stomach suddenly growled loudly, making him chuckle. "Looks like I worked up an appetite."
"Only he would think of food." Gray shook his head, but internally he was jealous that Natsu was much stronger than himself.
"I suppose it's time for us to celebrate Natsu's return, as well as the Bakugan Brawlers Resistance!" Makarov announced as everyone cheered in agreement. Natsu looked at his family with a genuine smile.
I'm glad to be home.
'Outerspace'
*BOOM*
Outside of Earthland's orbit, a ship exited Hyperspeed, gently flying in space, revealing it to be the Calamity. "Sir, we've arrived at the planet where the Attribute Energies are located." One of the crew said to Damus, who stood up from his throne to walk to the observation deck, looking at the beautiful planet.
"Have you detected any space stations nearby that may cause us some problems?" Damus asked, not taking his eyes off the planet.
"Ummm, sir? There is no space station. No communication tower, no landing pad, we can't even get any electronic signal."
"Really? Is this place just a jungle?" Grant asked with his arms crossed.
"From the look of it, this planet seems to be unlike any world we've seen." Talia said before turning the next page of her book.
"Our scanners have detected some…..unique energy being emitted." The red eyed leader rubbed his chin in thought before looking at Vali.
"Send the satellites around this planet, I want our eyes on it at all times." The silver haired male nodded before he went to the engineers to set up their tech. Damus smirked a bit. "We will find what makes this planet special and when we do, it will serve our mission well."
There you guys, the chapter you've been waiting for! I know it might not exactly be what you expected, but at least we got to see natsu introduce the Bakugan and more importantly…..the faces the guild made when he showed them his harem! Trust me, we will get a lot of jealous glares in the future, especially with the harem growing later on. As for Natsu, the reason he didn't fight Laxus is because he was hungry and because he used his energy too much. Trust me though, one day we will see him face Laxus, and perhaps even Gildarts. Regarding the next arcs, we will follow the GMG arc, with a lot of twists, as well as a lot of lemons(just warning those who don't like that they will happen.) So for Ace's girlfriend, let me know who you think should be with him, as well as if you want Team Natsu to go to Earth for a while. We WILL get a brawl the next chapter to show Fairy Tail what the Bakugan are really capable of.
Follow, Fav, Review and PM for anything….
Next time: Natsu vs Damus!
