Chapter 28: I Can Hear The Voice Of My Friend!
-With Wendy Marvell-
As Wendy came back to the real world she felt like she was floating. When she opened her eyes she surveyed her surroundings and saw that she was in a X like formation hanging in chains. She tried to remember what had occurred, but then it all came crashing down upon her. Natsu had been blown away into the unknown and she was then consumed by Zancrow's flames.
Wendy then feared the next minute. Surely Natsu is okay? Right? It won't be long till he busts down that door and frees me... She thought to herself happily. Not longer after she smelled two figures approaching. The figure smelled like fire. Yes! Natsu is here! As the door opened though, Wendy's hope began to fade as Zancrow and Grimoire Heart's master entered the room and closed the door behind them. Wendy began to pray. That's when Hades summoned purple and black lightning bolts and shocked her. "NATSU!" Wendy painfully shouted for her comrade.
-With Natsu-
Natsu Dragneel bolted off the soiled ground from Tenrou Island's roots as he heard the cry. That sounded like Wendy! He thought to himself. Natsu wanted to slam himself into the trees around him after he figured out Wendy had been captured from the lost spot he had been. Finally, Natsu reached the cliff that he was thrown off and smelled Wendy near as he then ran into the forest. Soon Natsu figured out that Zancrow's scent into the forest followed hers. I am going to beat that fire slayer wanna be into a pulp! Natsu's mind angrily came up with as his rage failed to cease as he was then frozen.
-Time Skip: A few minutes before-
A white clothed woman is seen walking through the forest. Where is Zeref? She asks herself. As she senses someone near she gets excited believing she has found the dark wizard. Soon as she catches up with the figure, she realizes it's none other then Natsu Dragneel. Immediately seeing he was off guard she summoned her ice magic. ICE-MAKE: FREEZE!
—-Time Skip: Present Time—-
"Ok, what the hell Gray?" Natsu asks in annoyance as he burns through the ice and frees himself. Suddenly, Natsu doesn't recall Gray smelling different.
ICE-MAKE: Frozen Swords the woman summoned icey looking swords and charged the dragon slayer. She can use Gray's magic! Natsu thought impressed, but also confused. FIRE DRAGON's ARM BLOCK Natsu said grinning as his heat in his arm blocked the swords and melted them.
"Who are you?" Natsu asked intrigued completely forgetting his mission to save Wendy.
"Hello Natsu Dragneel." The woman spoke with a evil smile.
"How do you know who I am?" Natsu once again asked getting annoyed now as he summoned flames in his right fist.
"We all know who you are Natsu Dragneel. The Fire Dragon Slayer." She playfully smiled at his name.
"Who are you!" Natsu shouted as he gritted his teeth.
"I'm Ultear. Leader of the 7 Kin of Purgatory for Grimoire Heart." The woman now who was revealed to be Ultear said.
"The hell?" Natsu replied confused.
Ultear's right arm glowed as she summoned a white looking circular ball. "Give me a moment." She said to him as Ultear began to speak into it. "Yes. Oh... you captured the sky dragon slayer? Alrighty, I'm currently fighting the fire dragon slayer. You're sure? Okay. See you at the ship." Ultear put the lacrima communication device away.
"The hell you mean? Where's Wendy!" Natsu glared her down with a angry expression. Flames summoned around him.
"The sky dragon slayer?" She asked and saw that Natsu nodded. "She is currently with Master Hades and Zancrow." She smirked at her words.
"I swear. I will destroy you all!" He shouted as he launched a spell. FIRE DRAGON's WING ATTACK!
Ultear avoided the attack as she summoned ice. ICE-MAKE TOWERS
Natsu watched as towers of ice grew from the ground and made his way towards him. FIRE DRAGON's BRILLIANT FLAME! Natsu heard another pained cry as he guessed it was from Wendy. He looked at Ultear and said, "Get out of my way... I can hear the voice of my friend!"
ICE-MAKE BLOOM!
"Why the hell do you use the same magic as Gray?" Natsu asked her as he was now interested in her magic.
Ultear stopped at the sound of 'Gray'. Is he talking about Gray...FULLBUSTER? She begin to give off a killing-like aura. "DON'T YOU EVER SPEAK OF THAT NAME!" Ultear yelled at him as she summoned more ice.
The hell? Natsu thought at her rage. Time to finish her. FIRE DRAGON SWORD HO-the pinkette began, but was stopped.
ICE-MAKE: ROSEN KRONE! Ultear created giant roses and spiked branches made from ice that surround and bonded Natsu and his spell. What the? Natsu confusedly thought to himself as he was stuck. "I will destroy you for saying that name." Ultear evilly smiled.
"What... Gray's?" Natsu asked as Ultear spiked him in the chest and he began to lose his vision. No.. the hell? It's only a wound... "I told you dragonslayer...you should have never used that name in my presence." Ultear glared him as another spike through his right shoulder. She looked down as Natsu's body went limp and swayed to the side, the pinkette losing control. Wendy... Lucy... Gray.. Gramps.. Erza... FairyTail... Natsu thought as for the second time that day the deep dark black welcomed him. Ultear watched as the fire dragon slayer fell to the side of her plant trap. She dispelled it and Natsu dropped into the dirt. She took her right arm and lifted it to her mouth and began speaking into it.
