"I will win!" Natsu shouted in confidence.
"Let's get started," Rycu said. He walked over to a tree and hung Erza from a branch by her leg, "Het! Let me down!" Erza shouted. Rycu walked away while looking behind him with a giant smile on his face. Erza then got annoyed and just crossed her arms.
Rycu walked over to be face to face with Natsu, "Go!" Natsu shouted as he charged directly towards Rycu with a flaming trail following behind him. Natsu lit a flame in his hand and it started to grow larger as her ran.
Natsu kicked at Rycu near the head but Rycu ducked beneath it and blasted Natsu with fire, pushing him backwards. As Natsu fell backwards Rycu launched at him again and blasted him through the forest, easily knocking down multiple trees in their path.
As Rycu flew towards Natsu, Natsu kicked Rycu and smashed him into the tree behind them. Natsu roared at Rycu point blank and blasted him through multiple trees. Natsu lost sight on Rycu so he leaned up against a tree, on the other side of the tree Rycu leaned as well.
Rycu grabbed Natsu from the other side and smashed him through the tree, Rycu held Natsu in front of him, who was still in shock, and punched him down to the ground. From where the battle was taking both of them, Erza was still able to see both of them.
Natsu boosted through the air and punched Rycu upwards with him, while they were in the air they both grabbed each other's shoulders with a firm grip. Rycu kicked Natsu in the face which loosened the grip on his shoulders, Natsu let go of Rycu. As they both fell back to the floor Rycu repeatedly punched Natsu in the face and as they were about to hit the floor Rycu finished Natsu off by doing a large punch at his face which blasted him through the floor.
The punch Rycu had done made a large crater through the floor. Rycu saw Natsu launching up from the hole, Rycu jumped high in the air and collided fists with Natsu which had made the whole ground shake. Natsu laughed to himself, "Guess I'm finally at your level of power!"
"I'm not even giving it all my strength!" Rycu said. Rycu kicked Natsu in the stomach which flew him up in the air and smashed him into a tree. "I think I should start to use my magic, throughout this fight I've rarely used it." Rycu said.
He turned into a shadow a slithered under the shade of the tree, he jumped up from beneath Natsu and hit him forward. Rycu came out of his shadow form and switched to his poison claws, Rycu ran up to Natsu and swiped his claws inches from Natsu's face but Natsu leaned back and kicked him into the air.
As Natsu pulled his body back up, Rycu let out a giant roar towards Natsu and blasted Natsu's head across the floor and bumped into a tree. Happy flew over to Natsu's body, "Not to be rude but he destroyed you and he wasn't even using most of his power." Happy said.
"Do you still think you have enough strength to take on Erza?" Rycu asked. "Just give him a bit of time to recover. By the way can you please let me down!" Erza shouted. "Not yet!" Rycu said cheekily. Sometime later Natsu had finally recovered all of his magic, Rycu pull Erza own from the tree and she gave him a giant punch across his face and they prepared for the final fight of the day.
"Fight!" Rycu shouted and they both charged towards each other at lightning fast speeds, Natsu punched at Erza but his punch didn't even move her. When Natsu looked up Erza was in her fire empress armour and she swiped Natsu back.
"My armour isn't everything I have against you." Erza said. She rushed behind him and sliced at Natsu back which made him fall forward right where Erza wanted him. Natsu's vision was all blurry so he couldn't tell what was happening, Erza had changed to her heavens wheel armour and had surrounded Natsu with sword which all launched at him and repeatedly hit him.
Once Natsu came back to his senses, he let out a massive roar and he started bursting with very hot flames which melted all of the swords around him. Erza instead switched back to a very heavy sword, Natsu started to walk slowly towards Erza and he looked angry.
He all of a sudden launched and hit Erza into a tree, Erza looked at her chest and it had a red hot mark left to it. "You ok Erza?" Rycu shouted. "I'm fine!" Erza shouted back. Natsu launched again at Erza but after he past, he fell to the floor and looked at his chest, it had a red mark going down it.
"Now were even." Erza said. Natsu jumped up into the air and let out a giant roar at her but when he looked over again she was gone. The next second Erza appeared behind him and smashed him forward, she then dived at Natsu and kicked his body along the floor, then jumped above him and smashed him down through the floor.
Erza equipped her armour with her wings and flew up in the air, Natsu jumped up and hit Erza across the air but she dived back and sliced at Natsu once again. She juggled Natsu in the air with some sword slices, "Let's end it!" Erza shouted.
She appeared above Natsu and equipped her giant sword and gave one giant slice across Natsu and he smashed into the floor. "How'd you lose Natsu?" Rycu asked. "I don't think he is really at his full power right now." Erza said.
Suddenly there were three powerful strikes of lightning that hit all three of them, making them fall to the ground, barely hanging on from being unconscious.
"Those fight were quite impressive, but it's nothing compared to my power." A mysterious voice called.
"Who are you?" Erza demanded.
"I'm you worst nightmare, I am August."
