It was morning of the next morning Gajeel was standing near a tree when Team Shadow Gear confronted him.

"what do you want?, I'm busy" Gajeel spoke gruffly.

"Just a little payback" Jet cracked his knuckles.

"you do realize it was because of Jose I attacked you" Gajeel scowled "Jose ordered me to kill you guys" he said.

"he did" Levy said.

"Yes Jose was worse than you could think, everything he told us we had to do or we pay I'm just glad Salamander took him down" Gajeel told them "A wizard Saint, even If I'm a Dragon Slayer I still wasn't strong enough to defy" he admitted "and so I say to you, I'm sorry for what I did to you" he said making the three look with surprise at the brash Dragon Slayer just said sorry "It was an awful thing to do"

"Didn't think you were capable of saying sorry" Droy spoke.

"I was giving a chance by Salamander and Makarov where my life can actually mean something, when Metalicana vanished I was alone and being in Phantom didn't help either" Gajeel said.

"Metalicana your Dragon" Jet said.

"Yeah rust bucket disappeared years ago without a single word" Gajeel answered.

"was it July 7th of 777?" Levy asked Gajeel looked at her.

"How did you know that" Gajeel said with shock.

"it was same time Natsu's father and Dragon Igneel disappeared" Levy informed.

"So both Dragon's disappeared on the same day, that can't be a coincidence" Gajeel thought "also don't tell anyone I said sorry, Salamander wouldn't let me live that down" he frowned.

"we won't but you need to earn our trust" Jet frowned sternly.

"are you letting these two push you around?" a gritty voice spoke they turned around seeing Laxus walking up to them.

"Laxus" Levy, Jet and Droy gasped.

"your seriously standing there and letting them talk you down" Laxus rumbled.

"we aren't we were just confronting him" Jet replied hiding the fact Gajeel apologized.

"so you attacked our Guildhall and why people are laughing" Laxus said in a low tone as yellow lightning began to circle around him "and then I heard something that really pissed me off, people are laughing at me and your the cause" he growled and launched a stream of lightning at them Gajeel pushed them out of the way and took the hit and got knocked back, then stood back up then screamed in pain as a blast of lightning struck the Iron Dragon Slayer.

Laxus then zipped up to him in a streak of lightning and kicked him into the ground and slammed a lightning engulfed fist in the ground the ground tore up as lightning traveled through the ground hitting Gajeel and leaving a deep trench and slammed him into the tree.

"Gajeel thats enough" Jet ordered but then Laxus ignored him and continued to kick Gajeel in stomach and kick his head.

"You don't belong here, it has no use for the weak" Laxus gritted then went to Punch Gajeel in the face but a strong grip stopped it grabbing the wrist then his arm was twisted to the side shoulder was grabbed he was flung off of Gajeel skidding on the ground front first he got up looking at Team Shadow Gear all three were still there, they also were smirking he turned and his eyes widened with anger as he saw it was Natsu who threw him off.

"That is enough, now leave them alone" Natsu snarled standing in front of Gajeel "You alright Gajeel?" he said.

"I'll live" Gajeel grumbled.

"get back" Natsu ordered Jet and Droy helped Gajeel up and the four stood back.

"big mistake kid" Laxus growled "You wanted to fight me before I guess nothing changed" he shrugged.

"Honestly I don't care about that anymore" Natsu scowled "now here's your warning, leave them alone" his eyes narrowed "or deal with me" he stated in a low tone.

"Okay you want a beating, it will take one hit" Laxus took his headphones off.

"careful I'm not the same arrogant wizard I was before, underestimating me will be your big mistake" Natsu said then took his cloak off and cracked his knuckles "But I'm giving you one chance to back off" he glared with grim and stern look "I really don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to" he said getting ready, then to their shock his eyes changed slightly they turned golden black, still normal obsidian but with dark golden color around the outside of the irises and slit in the middle was dark golden to his ears elongated upwards and got pointy, taking his seals off his natural abilities, Natsu immediately getting somewhat serious because he wasn't saying it out loud but he could sense Dragon Slayer magic from Laxus but was impure.

Laxus getting over his surprise "Never!" Laxus barked and shot at Natsu with a fist covered in lightning but his attack was blocked by a hand covered in intense bright orange flames, then another flaming fist slammed into his face knocking Laxus's head back then slammed another fist in Laxus was sent back as the second attack hit him in the stomach knocking him on the ground.

Laxus growled and got up swung but Natsu ducked under his attack kneed Laxus in the stomach with his knee on fire stepping past slamming a punch in Laxus's jaw grabbed him by the coat and collar threw him through the tree and off the hill and bolted down it.

"Uh should we tell the Master" Jet asked.

"uh yeah" Droy said as the three ran to Fairy tail.

Laxus collided with the street gouging 7 feet across, he got up and Natsu landed 20 yards in front of him. Laxus then got up.

"I think I'll enjoy this" Laxus smirked wickedly.

"You won't" Natsu said with a serious expression, Laxus coated himself in lightning and launch himself at Natsu but the Fire Dragon Slayer jumped and flipped over Laxus and landed on the street. Natsu ran forward and dodged lightning blasts with super display of footwork and agility, he closed in in a blink of an eye slamming a elbow in Laxus ribs knocking the wind out, then Natsu arms were covered in fire and clasped his hands together .

"Fire Dragon's Jaw" Natsu roared slamming the attack across Laxus stomach making a large explosion of fire sending Laxus flying back, Then slammed a fire engulfed kick to his jaw sending Laxus through two houses, sending people running away from the next 3 blocks, Laxus landed smashing in the street and crashed against a building, then Natsu Appeared with a blink with natural speed.

"Damn you" Laxus wiped blood from his nose and mouth, Natsu just stood silently waiting with a glare. Laxus sent a blast of lightning at natsu, but Natsu jumped to the side as the attack missed him. Natsu then crossed his arms with fire covering them and blocked a stream of lightning skidding him back slightly but Natsu rooted his feet into the street stopping himself, he then engulfed himself in flames then the flames and a fiery energy was absorbed into his right leg then channeled it into his foot.

Then with a grunt and a yell he stepped forward throwing the lightning off the path and slammed a foot on the ground with a hard stomp that shattered the street with a shock wave of fiery energy waves and broken street debris sending Laxus flying back 30 yards and destroying the side walk and street a good 10 meters back.

"Fire Dragon's Volcano Burst" Natsu roared narrowing his eyes with orange fire and light glowing in his closed fist by his side the threw his hand at the ground and snapped open his hand and flames traveled threw the broken ground before Laxus dove out of the way as a volcano like explosion blasted from the ground.

But Laxus was slammed head first into the ground when Natsu appeared in front of him slamming his fist covered in fire in his jaw, Natsu flashed back with flash of fire, Laxus got up bleeding from his temple.

"Told you wouldn't like it, but I'll hold back a little since I'm dealing with a pest" Natsu reminded putting his seals back on his physical abilities, Laxus bellowed as lightning engulfed his form the remark getting under his skin.

"Cocky punk!" Laxus roared and charged forward.


back at the Guild Hall Fairy tail were talking and Levy burst in "Master Laxus and Natsu are fighting!" she yelled.

"what!?" The Guild hollered.

"We must stop them before they destroy the whole town" Makarov exclaimed, Erza, Seilah and Gray ran out with the master, they followed the spikes of power and saw the scene and was taking by surprise at what they saw, Natsu was dodging lightning bolts and blasts with superhuman reflexes, then Natsu then engulfed his wrists and hands with thick amounts of Bright orange flames and show of dexterity blocked and deflected attacks of lightning.

Laxus flew at him but Natsu stepped to the side grabbing Laxus across the collar and stepping froward he slammed Laxus flat on his back in the street, then picked him up and slammed a fist in his stomach sending Laxus crashing from 10 feet back and into a building wall cracking.

"whoa is he overpowering Laxus" Gray gaped.

"Natsu's got really fast" Erza said "not just strong" she said.

"Can we stop gawking and lets stop them" Makarov complained.

"Yeah sorry" Gray spoke.

Laxus turned into a streak of lightning and disappeared then struck where Natsu, Had been standing. Laxus then turned and blocked a fire engulfed punch with his arms.

Natsu narrowed his eyes then roared as the flames intensified on his fist, Natsu blocked a lightning encased fist with his arm then sent a several punches to Laxus who blocked them with his arms, but then doubled over one a kick slammed into his gut moving his arms to block another but Natsu caught him offguard when Natsu sent a roundhouse to his jaw knocking his head to the side, then sent two uppercuts into Laxus's ribs on his left side and slammed another body punch to the stomach after rooting his feet on the ground sending Laxus flying back and but his legs were kicked out with a low kick sending his legs in the air and his face was grabbed by Natsu who slammed him head upperbody first into the ground with a yell.

"we should stop before this gets out of hand" Natsu advised stepping back, then a wheel of Lightning came blasting out of the ground sending Natsu flying back but Natsu crossed his arms and planted his feet down stopping himself, then Laxus appeared in front and punched Natsu in the face knocking him into a wall, then a large blast of Lightning came down but Natsu made basketball size several balls of fire sending them at the lightning cancelling the each other out with a bright flash.

Natsu raised his arm blocking a kick to his head, he Grabbed Laxus leg under his arm stepped in and elbowed Laxus in the sternum and tripping Laxus as he hooked his foot behind Laxus's grabbed him by the waist and under his leg lifted him up shifting his grip quickly.

"Fire Dragon's Punishing Powerbomb" Natsu roared and turned and fell down slamming Laxus on his back on the street where several large balls of bright orange and red flames mixed in the size of a outside cafe table fell on Laxus body with high speed making him yell in pain as a large explosion that blew shingles and cracked the buildings closest to them and shattered the street leaving a large crater with Laxus in it who got up with a cough up dust and blood

"hmm It seems i did underestimate you, you have grown stronger but your nowhere near to my level" Laxus cracked his neck.

"I wasn't being totally serious, your only getting back up because I'm pulling my punches" Natsu frowned.

"Then I guess I'll make you drop your restraints and make you want really fight me" Laxus cackled.

"you don't want me drop my restraints and me to fly off the handle, usually someone who had tried that ended up taken a dirt nap for awhile" Natsu frowned with grim gaze "are we done because I other important things to do than tussling with you" he said with a cold and emotionless gaze

"I'll never admit defeat to a weakling!" Laxus roared.

"The only weakling I see is you, I'm doubting not your physical strength, it's your integrity I doubt because you don't have the strength to except Fairy Tail the way it is face it it your the one who's weak" Natsu said with steel in his voice with a piercing gaze.

"what did you say to me!?" Laxus barked then marched forward but then I Giant fist slammed into the ground between the two.

"Geezer" Laxus snapped.

"Show some respect, Yo Gramps" Natsu replied.

"Don't 'Yo Gramps' me" Makarov frowned "Are you two trying to wreck the whole city" he scolded.

"He was the one who started it and I even tried to get him to stop" Natsu frowned.

"and I'm finishing it" Makarov informed.

"Grr" Laxus grumbled and flashed away in bolt of Lightning.

"Now he stops" Natsu muttered.

"You alright?" Erza asked.

"fit as a fiddle, he only shocked me twice" Natsu replied "But I don't think this is the end of this, I could hear what he was thinking before he left" he told them with elongated pointed ears.

"Hear his thoughts?" Makarov eyes widened.

"Aye, I could hear his mind, the stronger your Dragon Slayer magic is the stronger your enhancements are, I could hear the wind change his attacks and hear what he thought of just now, when I turn my Dragon Senses to the Max I can hear and sense almost around me, including hearing words in someone's head" he told them.

"I think he wants to take over Fairy Tail, kick the quote 'weak members out'" Natsu explained as his ears went back to normal "So in simple terms" he said.

"Troubles brewing" Makarov nodded "well thanks and" he said.

"I know clean up this mess" Natsu answered "It's what my Aunt said 'you make a mess you clean up after yourself'" he told him, then got to work.

"Well at least one of them excepted responsibility for this" Makarov stated.

"It was very mature of him" Erza joked.

"I heard that!" Natsu snapped making them chuckle.
