Gray, Seilah and the other left the resort But Natsu stayed behind to deal with a dilemma as some strange people arrived and Natsu always aware of whats happening around him immediately knew something was up.

He stood ready for anything "can I help you guys with something?" Natsu asked.

"Yeah we are here to stop you from leaving" one punched his fists together.

"Well your doing a bad job, they gone" Natsu replied pointing at the disappearing members with a thumb "Yeah wonderful job indeed" he snorted with sarcasm.

"There's 30 of us and only one you" the man sneered back.

Natsu was already aware of the other 20 coming as they spoke "you should get at least 2 times that, actually no that wouldn't change a thing" he smirked.

"Cocky punk" another sneered.

"Look I don't have time for this now either make a move or get lost" Natsu glowered.

"what was that" another said being a smart mouth

"I said make a swing or get" Natsu said patience running out.

"I have sand in my ear-" he started but didn't finish as a fist collided with his face sending him flying back 10 yards they looked and saw it was Natsu who was standing where the confronter was standing.

"Oh Shut Up" Natsu grumbled

"Hey!" another yelled as he swung but Natsu frontkicked him away into another 10 feet away, Natsu held out a hand and stopped a charging by grabbing his face and punched him in the stomach sending him back 20 feet. The Dragon Slayer stood ready and relaxed three swung at once Natsu moving fast blocked the attacks then his arm blurred and the three were sent flying back 20 yards as several punches too fast to see crashed into them.

The other 20 arrived Natsu just cracked his knuckles.

Gray, Lucy, Juvia and Seilah were heading where Natsu directed them and put the sail up and the breeze moved them forward.

"Do you think Erza's okay?" Lucy asked.

"Of course it's Erza but why would they take Happy to" Gray asked.

"I don't know" Seilah shrugged "You think Natsu-San will catch up" she asked.

"A don't know but he will be here soon those people were idiots to confront Natsu" Gray told her, then suddenly a wave of heat dropped on them they looked and saw a flaming comet booking from the distance the then it brightened and the flames around it got bigger as it moved it faster, right to their direction.

"Meteor!" Lucy screamed, then meteor then turned upwards over the boat and the flames dissipated revealing Natsu and his glory.

"Natsu!?" They gawked.

"You can fly?" Lucy gaped.

"Well yeah" Natsu said then he dropped on the boat surprisingly with grace and didn't make it rock.

'Earlier'

Natsu on the beach

5 more were left Natsu shifted a foot to the side slightly. the last picked up a stick and a baseball bat from knocked out victims which some of the 20 that arrived brought them. They charged and swung but Natsu moved around avoided their attacks, he then backkicked one sending him back ducked under a wing punched another in the jawline knocking him out and back.

He crouched under a swing and braced a hand on the sand backkicked one in the stomach doubling him over and swept the second off his feet with a legsweep, he stood back then three of them threw their weapons at him but the objects were lit on fire and burnt to ash 8 feet from Natsu as he narrowed his eyes.

"Well this got annoying" Natsu frowned then with a blink he was in their faces he grabbed both slammed one on the sand and pinned him with a foot.

"Alright you, your going to tell me who hired you?" Natsu asked.

"I don't know you mean" the guy spoke Natsu glared then slammed his forehead into his knocking the guy out picked the second up.

"Same thing" he demanded but the guy stuttered, Natsu Headbutted him to knocking him out after going around roughly shaking a victim awake asked the same over but the either stuttered, said 'Not saying a thing', or took too long to answer he knocked each back out with a headbutt finally one gave in and told Natsu he was hired by someone from the Council to slow him down and the Council member payed him and the others.

"Thanks" Natsu said the chopped the back of his neck with the ridge of his hand knocking him out, a nicer way. then red orange flames engulfed his form he crouched and the fire formed a thick condensed dome of fire around himself and took off like a bullet and moving like a fallen star scorching the sand black where he stood from.

5 minutes later he focused his dragon heightened senses and squinted he zoomed on the scent he was following and zoomed 20 feet from the boat they were on and focusing more of his magic energy into the flames engulfing him they brightened and got larger and he moved faster.

let the flames vanish above their boat smirking at their stunned expression

'Now'

"You can fly" Lucy gaped.

"Of course" Natsu answered as he dropped lightly on the boat and sniffed the air "Okay this way" he pointed.

"Lead the way bloodhound" Gray told him.

"Bloodhound!? that's an insult" Natsu glared "But now isn't the time for degrading names" he told them.

Erza was tied to a mast of a ship and woke up and saw what made nightmares from her past returned, she tried to use her magic "I'd give up those ropes Millianna placed on you block magic" a voice spoke she turned and saw Sho.

"Sho" Erza's eyes widened "Let me go at once" she said.

"Sorry can't have you do that, not again" Sho frowned.

"Free me friends don't tie friends up" Erza told him.

"Nor do they abandon their friends" Sho snapped.

"It was wrong of me, I was scared and ran" Erza admitted.

"So we were, we were your friends and you left us in Hell" Sho yelled "Didn't you care" he cried.

"Of course I hated myself and I was a kid" Erza replied softly then the ship stopped and her eyes widened as she saw her nightmare "You finished it" she gasped.

"My friends will be here and will free me" Erza told him.

"Your friends never knew what hit them" Wally spoke as he came down the stairs to the room they were in.

"No" Erza gasped then smirked "You didn't get him and he probably is on his way here and when he gets here, you will be sorry" she warned.

"And who will that be?" Sho said.

"Natsu Dragneel" Erza told them "and he will give you real fear, you felt fear before but you will be shown true terror" she told Sho and Wally "and you will always remember the Wrath of The Prince of All Fire Dragons" she smirked wider.

"We have the Trinity Ravens here, Fire Prince or not he will not beat them" Wally snorted.

"Don't take him too lately it will be a terrible mistake" Erza warned.

"Come on Jellal wants to say hello" The dragged her to the terror called the Tower of Heaven but she didn't feel so scared knowing her Boyfriend was on his way.

Back on the boat the sun had come up and Natsu was snoozing under the shade of the sail.

"Wake up were following your nose here" Gray said as he splashed water at him but the water hissed and evaporated 3 feet before it hit his face and Natsu jumped up.

"Was resting so I'm ready" Natsu frowned.

"This is not the time for napping" Lucy spoke up.

"How dare you disappoint my beloved with your lazy attitude" Juvia glowered at Natsu, then Natsu sniffed the air ahead.

"Hush up everyone I smell ruin and death" Natsu spoke firmly. they sailed closer and pieces of ships were scattered in the water and dead fish and birds.

"Stay alert everyone and stay low, I think were getting closer" Natsu told them with sharp gaze.
