a few hours later everyone was back in the Guildhall, even Natsu who spent the last three hours cleaning up the districts that got wrecked in Natsu's and Laxus's scuffle. Mira had checked over Natsu probing her fingers in his upperbody seeing any damage, there was none only some parts of his clothes were damaged in some places Natsu had gone back to the tree and got his cloak back.
"you took a full blast of Lightning at pointblank and your body isn't even scratched" Mira examined "not even noticeable bruises" she told him.
"pft my aunt hits harder than Laxus and it pays to have a reinforced body, skin tissue and bones things like that" Natsu spoke.
"How did you get your personal body to the point of not sustaining damage" Seilah asked "I mean your body is almost as strong as an Iron Dragon" she said.
"I hate to admit it, but his body is stronger than mine despite me being an Iron Dragon Slayer" Gajeel spoke overhearing their conversation coming over "and he took a full hit with my Iron Dragon Ground Attack and he got up without a limp or a wince" he said.
"yeah they were almost as large as the pillars in our Guildhall" Gray said.
"Yeah took it like a Real man" Elfman spoke out.
"Well they'er idea in order to reinforce my body as much as it did, was to break it" Natsu told them making their eyes widen "we would spar when I done with spells, to make a story short to put it bluntly they would break my bones and put like a gravity seal on me to a statue stiffness and force myself to fight like that, that would make my skin and tissue and muscle fibers to tear and rip apart after that I would heal and recover and over time my body was sturdier, then things got crazier when then went all out and shattered the bones once in awhile, even my insides are sturdy as metal fibers it allows me to handle near unlimited large amounts of fire" he told them.
"And don't holler at me it was their idea" Natsu finish.
"That must of hurt" Lucy wince picturing.
"it was extremely painful" Natsu grumbled "I would rather get hit with a Lightning blast than endure that insane training" he said.
"Well I can't lie to say it was effective" Makarov spoke.
"Well you know what they say, 'what doesn't kill ya make's ya stronger'" Natsu shrugged "Besides in order to make something stronger and more durable is to break it and it's rebuilt stronger" he said
later people were gather in front of the stage except Natsu who went back to finish his clean up, as the Miss Fairy award was going on, Mirajane, Erza, Lucy, Bisca, Cana, levy, Seilah and Juvia were on it dressed in very attractive attire's except Mirajane, who just did some Transformation tricks changing her face to Happy and Gajeel much to Gajeel's surprise who stood straight up and did a spit take, Seilah who went bold and changed into a monokini which gave most of the men get nose bleeds.
"And the Miss Fairy award is" Max spoke in a mic.
"me of course, amateurs" a female voice spoke next to Max they turned to see a women with light brown hair with grass green dress "I'm the true Miss Fairy not these Bimbo's" she said.
"Excuse you" Lucy glared turning.
"Don't look into her eyes!" Gray warned too late, Lucy looked into her eyes and the woman's eyes glowed and the blond was turned into stone.
Lucy the woman cried everyone but Seilah who looked at her when the women looked at them, were turned to stone.
"What?" The woman gasped when Seilah wasn't turned to stone.
"I'm a demon, those spells won't work on me" Seilah glowered then turned back into her normal clothes, then before the woman could launch a spell her body stopped like she became a statue herself "and I don't take kindly to people who hurt my friends" she glared.
"Everyone out now!" Max shouts, alot of members ran out except for a handful.
"I order you to strangle yourself" Seilah stated using her Macro on the woman then her hand went around her throat and she choked herself.
Then a blast of lightning landed on the stage distracting her and the woman let go of her neck she coughed "Let Evergreen go" an odd looking man ordered.
"Laxus" Makarov glowered.
"Hey Gramps" Laxus sneered he looked to have recovered from his fight with Natsu.
"didn't you learn you lesson before" Gray warned "Or did Natsu knock a few bolts loose?" he said.
"That bastard got lucky" Laxus glared making Seilah glare death at the mage.
"Don't insult Natsu-Sama, he's a better man than you'll ever be" Seilah snarled.
"That kid is nothing compared to Laxus" Freed glared.
"Really I heard Natsu stomped you pretty good" Jet said.
"He warned you not to push him" Makarov told him "I could see why, he could crush you" he said.
"Speaking of which where is he did he ran away" Laxus smirked evilly.
"Unlike you he took responsibility of the damage you both caused, you ran away he's more mature than you" Droy defended "he's right your the one who's weak, not him you didn't even slow him down in your tussle" he said.
"One more word and I'll order Evergreen to break these girls" Laxus glowered "Besides Natsu is not what you think he is, he's nothing but murderer" he smirked wickedly.
"an anonymous source gave us a Lacrima screen of him killing some Owlman" Freed said.
"if Natsu did that, than he must of had good a reason" Makarov said.
"you'll be lucky he doesn't kill you" Seilah glared "and you'll be lucky you make what I have planned for you if you don't let them go" she said.
"Back off!" Laxus barked as a shock wave of static blew her off the stage "What can you do?" he sneered than launched a large blast of Lightning at the female Etherious, but before it hit her she disappeared from her spot.
"What the" Bickslow gaped.
"Don't you dare touch her" a familiar furious growled, they looked behind them and saw a irate Natsu holding Seilah bridal style, then he set her down and he disappeared in a blink and in front of Laxus and with a flaming Punch to dead center in Laxus mouth launched him up and across the length of the Guildhall and smashed into a wall and fell on a table shattering it.
"That felt good" Natsu stated, then before the Thunder Legion could move a ring of fire appeared around their necks but didn't burn then, they looked and saw Natsu raised a hand with glowing fingers and thumb, then they started choking and they fell on their knees with their hands on their throats.
"Now let them go or you'll see a Dragon's Rage" Natsu snarled.
"Natsu!" Laxus roared and charged forward with lightning surging around him, Natsu then punched the air with a flaming fist as a Fire Dragon Circle appeared in front of his fist and it went through and serving plate shape of fire appeared in front of Laxus making him stop with confusion and Natsu's fist struck him in the jaw sending him crashing and skidding on the floor.
Then a Lightning was launched down from the sky and above Seilah who was walking off the stage and storming up to Laxus.
"Look Out!" Natsu yelled sprinting forward and then tackled Seilah and covered her up and all of a sudden the Lightning blast got larger and had more magic power channeled into it and struck Natsu and Laxus Appeared back on the stage.
"That takes care of that" Laxus smirked "He's still weak" he laughed.
"still a wimp" Bickslow snickered.
"Wimp wimp wimp" some tikies heads chanted, then everyone felt a massive surge of heat and pressure made everyone struggle to stand up straight.
"Actually you just pissed him off" Gray replied, they turned and saw Natsu back on his feet with a look of fury in his eyes,
"It's one thing to attack me, but no one attacks my other lover and gets away with it" Natsu snarled.
"Lovers" they all spoke.
"Two of them are behind Evergreen there" Natsu stated they looked at the petrified statues of Mirajane and Erza "and Seilah's one of them" he said.
"Thats gross three girls, too mushy" Laxus gagged.
"Your just jealous no woman is after your affections" Natsu shot back.
"The Battle for the Strongest begins" Laxus declared "But explain the rules" he told Evergreen.
"No cheating, any cheating and you refuse to participate, the girls crumble" Evergreen explained.
"Your insane Laxus" Makarov snapped.
"Time to see who's the Strongest in Fairy tail" Laxus declared and with a flash of Lightning, Laxus and the Thunder Legion was gone, Natsu instead of exploding everyone else thought he would, he breathed and calmed down.
Seilah who was on the floor on her knees and front because Natsu tackled her from the side, she blushed rose petal red as she had a image of him touching her on the rear when he covered her from the blast as she rubbed her rear with her hands when no one looked, he offered his hand and he pulled her up.
"How are you calm right now?, I thought you'd be furious?" Makarov frowned at Natsu.
"I am furious but I'm not gonna waste it on a tantrum, so when I confront him I'm gonna use every bit to take him down" Natsu scowled "sorry I didn't get here faster" he clenched his fist.
"Don't worry you came as soon as you could" Makarov waved it off.
"Battle Begins" Gray stated, they guys went out determined to stop Laxus and the Thunder Legion
