Howdy everyone and welcome to another chapter. So I don't don't really have anything to talk about because I don't really have a life. I guess you could count the fact that I'm no going to piano lessons, but that's about all I'm doing. Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 36

I stood up straight with my shoulders back. Luce should be to safety now...hopefully. I really wish I could have gone with Luce to get her to a safe place, but first I have to take care of the piece of garbage in front of me. I popped my knuckles and and lit both my hands on fire. Laxus smirked and walked forward.

"Lets hurry and get this over with, I have more important things to deal with."

I laughed, "the only thing you're going to be dealing with is me."

"You talk big, but under that tough guy act of yours you're just a weakling."

I took a couple steps forward, "how about we cut off the chit chat and fight already. Im getting a bit antsy."

Laxus smirked, "if you say so."

As soon as he said his last word I felt excruciating pain on my right cheek. I caught a glimpse of his blonde hair as he appeared on the other side of the room. I grunted and held my cheek, how is he so fast!? He disappeared once again, but instead of getting punched in the face again I caught his fist a few inches before my face. The fire that I had summoned licked across his knuckles and then it started to travel up his arm. Laxus' eyes widened in shock, and he quickly pulled away. His whole left sleeve burned away to show his skin that now had burn marks all over.

"looks like you can hold a fight, but in the end I will still come out the victor."

I shook my finger "not so fast, last time you said something against me it ended up going again you. I would choose my world wisely."

Laxus frowned, "keep your mouth shut."

Before he could attack I sprung into action and punched him in the nose, and due to my fire abilities I singed his eyebrows. I'm gonna have to tell Luce about this when I get to her.

Laxus stumbled back and held his hand to his face. Blood started to trickle out slowly fro behind his hand. He took hid hand away from his face and I couldn't help but to laugh.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

I smirked "oh y'know you just don't have a certain something on your face...like for instance...your eyebrows."

His eyes widened and he felt his face where his eyebrows should have been.

He glared at me, "I'm going to kill you."

Before I could move Laxus shot a huge amount of lightning towards me. he was so fast that I had no time to react and it hit me with full on force. I cried out in pain as I felt my body being crushed by the large amount of force. I fell to the ground with a thud. My body felt like it was going to break apart any second.

"heh, that'll teach ya."

I looked up as he started to charge up another bolt of lightning, but before he could sent it toward me Mira Jane stepped in front to him.

"Laxus, please stop this nonsense!"

Laxus' eyes widened and his bolt of energy faltered, but it did not disappear, "move out of the way Mira."

She stared into his gaze with determination and I could only admire how brave Mira Jane was being right now. she look ahold of his arm without the lightning and looked deeply into his eyes, "please don't do this...I know you can do better. Come back to Fairy Tail. Everyone missed you, especially Makarov, but I miss you the most." Tears started to form in Mira's eyes," I cant stand to watch you be this way any longer."

Laxus' lightning faltered and then disappeared, completely. He wrapped his arms around Mira, "I missed you too."

The arrangement went on for a coupe of minutes while I and in this terrible state. I tried to get up on my own, but pain shot through my while body and I crumbled to the floor.

"Um. do you guys mind helping me out a bit?"

Mira instantly turned around and ran towards me, "I'm so sorry about this Natsu! I should have stopped Laxus sooner."

I smiled as best I could, "well right now I'm just glad he didn't kill me."

Laxus walked over and helped me up. I winced from the pain and fell down a bit, but I slowly got back up. Even though I'm in pain I have to go check to see if Luce is okay.

"Oi, do you need help getting to Lucy?"

I looked up to laxus and laughed "yeah, I don't think I can make it this condition."

He scratched the back of his head "yeah, sorry bout that."

I waved it off "its fine, but ill only forgive you if you help me get Luce."

He chuckled "deal."
