The Oracion Seis was just a common gang that liked to cause trouble, wanting to impress END. They felt like they're time has finally come. END has summoned them and has given them new weapons for them to use.
"Incredible." Brain said as he was wearing gauntlets that shot energy beams. "These weapons are incredible."
"I'm glad you like them." END said. "I'm giving you these weapons in hopes that you'll bring Salamander down for good. Those gauntlets create photon energy with destructive blasts." As Brain was trying them out, END explained the other weapons. "Angel, the giant automaton known as Shamsiel is integrated to the bionic frame attached to your body. It moves the same way you move." Angel was given a giant robot and it copied her movements thanks to the frame on her body.
"I always did like living large." Angel said.
"Racer, your new suit boosts your speed and also allows you to run on other solid surfaces." END said. Racer wore a black and red suit with him running at greater speed, even running on walls.
"Yeah. I'm even faster than before." Racer said.
"Hoteye, your new gloves allow you to unleash rays that breaks the solidarity of ground and manipulate it." END said. It was like the ground melted when Hoteye pointed at a part of it with an orange light and he was able to move it around.
"This tech must have caused quite a great deal of money." Hoteye said. "It will be worth every penny."
"Cobra, your new tech emits a poison like substance, one that won't have any effect on you." END said. Cobra was wearing robotic gloves as well that was protruding a poison-like substance in the air. "It isn't lethal, but it should have a numbing effect on those you touch."
"Sweet." Cobra said.
"Finally, Midnight, your new weapon allows you to compress the air that's around you and use it like invisible blades." END said. Midnight was now wearing armor over his arms. He saw an invisible force gather around his arms. When he swung them, he generated blades that sliced right through the walls.
"Excellent, but why are you giving us these weapons?" Midnight said.
"You six need something that gives you an edge over Salamander." END said. "Besides, I need someone to test these new weapons for those who do become my elite team."
"We won't let you down. Salamander is finished." Brain said. With these new weapons, the Oracion Seis are even more trouble than ever before.

Natsu
"I can't believe you kept the alien lifeform." Zeref said as he appeared disappointed in his brother. "Natsu, you know how much that means to Acnologia. You need to return it."
"No way. I'm a whole lot stronger because of this thing." Natsu said as he moved around in his new black suit. "I've never felt more alive."
"Natsu, this could ruin his career. He already thinks you had something to do with it disappearing." Zeref said. "What do you think is going to happen when he learns that he was right?"
"He's never going to find out." Natsu said. "As far as he and everyone else knows, I'm trying a new look. You worry too much."
"Maybe, you also aren't acting like yourself." Zeref said. "You cut class, you fight more aggressively, and now you're keeping something that isn't yours. This isn't you." Zeref was right. Natsu may have been concerned before, but he now doesn't seem to care. "Look, I promised Mavis I take her to a movie, but we're not finished talking about this. Just do the right thing and return it." Zeref grabbed his stuff and left, but he was very disappointed in his brother.
"Give this thing back? Yeah right." Natsu said. "I just need better control over this new power. Anyway, I better head out myself and get some photos for Mailer and his lousy paper." Zeref was right earlier. Something is happening to Natsu.
...
Dr. Acnologia
Acnologia was in some serious hot water. Since the first sign of alien life disappeared, Acnologia is in trouble for it since it was his responsibility. If it doesn't come back, he could be ruined. He knows Natsu had something to do with it, but he was searching for proof to backup that claim.
"I know you're hiding something." Acnologia said as he kept looking over footage of Natsu. "I know you hold some sort of secret and I will find it." Acnologia wants to know what Natsu is hiding. Digging into something like that could be a real problem.
...
Natsu
"No lie, Robert. Salamander is new and improve with this black suit." Natsu said on his phone as he was talking to a fellow employee at Weekly Source. "What? Celebrities change their looks all the time and people make a bit of a fuss. Just wait until I send you some picks." Natsu ended the call and jumped around on the buildings. When he looked down, he saw the theater with Mavis and Zeref trying to get in.
"Zeref, are you okay?" Mavis asked.
"Yeah. I'm just a little worried about Natsu. He hasn't been acting like himself lately." Zeref said. Just as they were about to go inside, they heard sirens going off. They looked down the road, but they saw police cars were sent flying. What surprised all of them was that they saw Angel walking out on the road.
"Hello..." Natsu said as he thought this was interesting. He jumped down to face her. "Hey, Angel! What gives? Striking solo?"
"Not exactly." Angel said as she walked out a little further and showed her new weapon. Natsu was surprised to see that thing.
"What is that?" Natsu questioned.
"You're not the only one with some improvements." Angel said. That's right when Natsu got blasted and was sent flying as he crashed against the theater. When Natsu snapped out of it, he looked around and saw the Oracion Seis showing themselves with their new weapons, ready and set to finish Salamander off for good.
"Any last words, lizard?" Brain asked.
"How's... What the heck?!" Natsu said as he wasn't sure what to think of this. The six of them moved closer to Salamander with Mavis and Zeref standing in the way.
"You two might want to step aside." Brain said.
"So you can attack him? I think not." Mavis said.
"So be it." Brain said as he was about to blast them, but Natsu grabbed the both of them and moved them inside the theater.
"Thanks for tryin to help, but maybe leave this to the pros." Natsu said. That was when Shamsiel reached in and grabbed him. "Go! Get out through the back!" He called as he was pulled out.
"Yes. Run along now." Brain said. Zeref and Mavis hurried out while Salamander tried to fight them off. The fight was causing a commotion as the whole theater began to shake. Zeref looked up and saw a part of the ceiling was about to fall.
"Mavis, move!" Zeref said as he pushed out of the way, but the debris fell right on Zeref's head.
"Zeref!" Mavis called. He looked hurt as he wasn't moving. "Someone call for an ambulance!" Meanwhile, Salamander was tossed to the ground by Angel's new robot. It tried to stomp down on him, but he jumped out of the way. When he did, Hoteye melted down the part of the road he was on and his feet got stuck.
"What is this?" Natsu said as he tried to get free.
"We're stronger than ever before now." Brain said. He aimed his weapons and blasted Salamander free as he was flown into the air. Racer ran on the walls and met Salamander in the air as he kicked him right down. Cobra got to where he was going to land and smashed his fist against him for him to crash into a car. Midnight stepped forward and unleashed his invisible blades. They slashed right through the car and pushed Salamander back further. Natsu was really taking a beating out there.
"Oh man. I love these new toys." Cobra said.
"You won't be able to beat us this time." Midnight said.
"Maybe not now, but there's always next time." Natsu said. He jumped to the side and lifted a manhole cover. He tossed it at them as he escaped through the sewers.
"Cobra, Racer, and Midnight! You three with me and get him!" Brain said. The four of them hurried after him as they dived under him. The four of them made their way through the sewers to try and find them, but his black suit helped him camouflaged in the shadows so he could escape.
...
Lucy
News spread fast about what happened earlier. Lucy got worried about Natsu, so she waited for him to come home. When she saw him move into his home, she hurried over to him.
"Natsu!" Lucy called as she went up to his room. "I heard what happened. Are you okay?"
"Beaten and tired, but I'll live." Natsu said as the black suit slithered off him. Lucy got a little spooked when she saw that.
"What is that stuff?" Lucy asked.
"Later. I'm exhausted." Natsu said as he collapsed on his bed. Lucy was worried about him, but all she could do now was let him rest. While she let him sleep, she heard the home phone go off and the machine answered it.
"Natsu, it's Mavis. Please call me back. Something has happened to Zeref." Lucy didn't like the sound of that.
...
The Oracion Seis
They were upset that they didn't get to finish Salamander, but they have him on the run. That was a victory to them. As they were playing a game of cards, they were trying to decide how they should deal with Salamander now.
"I say we find him and run him over until his bones are completely shattered." Racer said.
"Are we overlooking something? We need to find him first." Midnight said.
"That lizard gave us the slip. There's got to be a way to catch him." Cobra said.
"I say we forget him. With these new weapons, we can have all the money we want." Hoteye said.
"Are you forgetting that we'll have to deal with him at some point?" Angel said. "We need to make sure he never gets in the way again. We just need to find him."
"We will." Brain claimed. "Rather than us trying to find him, we need him to come to us. The answer into how we do that is simple. We just cause a little mayhem. Once we do, he'll come out. He won't be able to resist. When he does, it will be game over for him." He claimed as he tossed down a card with a broken heart, broken like what they want to do to Salamander.
...
Natsu
Natsu practically slept through most of the day. Night has already fallen, but things haven't stayed calm. As his alarm clock hit the hour, the radio in it went off.
"Hello. This is a special message for Salamander." Brain said as he was over the radio. "Meet us within the park so that we may settle things. Fail to show and others shall pay the price." That message caused the lifeform to slither over Natsu and Natsu got himself ready for this fight.
...
The Park
The police were ready to step in and take on the Oracion Seis. Siegrain led them carefully, but they knew that against those weapons, they don't stand a chance. As for Salamander, he jumped his way over to the park, but Racer got to him as he kicked him to the ground.
"He's here!" Racer called. Natsu plummet until Cobra came in and smacked him. Hoteye caused the liquid ground to rise under Salamander. He was tossed to Angel for Shamsiel to smash its fist against him. He landed on a car that Midnight tore to shreds and knocked Salamander near Brain on a bridge.
"I knew you couldn't stay away." Brain said as he grabbed him by the back of his suit and lifted him. All of them gathered for the grand finale. "Angel, you won our little game. Will you stomp on him like a bug or crush him with Shamsiel's hands?"
"Crushing sounds good." Angel said as she readied to finish him. "What's the matter lizard? No more stupid jokes?" He didn't really answer. All he did was grab Brain's arm and tossed him right against Angel. He tried moving away as Cobra and Midnight tried blasting him. Salamander kept moving around and went under a bridge.
"Going somewhere?" Racer said as he went at him from one end. Hoteye attacked from the other end as he unleashed the liquid ground at him. Natsu waited until the last minute to jump and stick to the bridge. That caused Racer to be caught by the substance. As Natsu stuck there, Shamsiel smashed a fist through the bridge to try and get him. Natsu jumped out to face three of them. Cobra tried attacking him, but Natsu was able to safely grab him by the arm and tossed him against Midnight. Angel was ready to take her turn as Salamander gave her a thumbs-down.
"That's it! I've had it with him!" Angel said. She tried to have her robot stomp on him, but he was able to jumped out of the way and tackle Angel. Cobra and Midnight got back in as they tried to blast him, but Natsu jumped out of the way and they both hit Angel by mistake with her being taken out. Shamsiel went down with her.
"Oops." Both of them said. They tried to fix their mistake as they kept attacking him, but Natsu ducked behind the robot, with them damaging it and sparks flying out.
"Go! I've got you covered!" Cobra said as he kept attacking. Midnight moved fast as he went around, but Salamander was gone.
"Where'd he go?" Midnight said. Salamander landed behind him and hit him so hard that he was thrown against Shamsiel and got electrocuted from the sparks. Hoteye tried joining in the fight as he used more attacks against him, but Natsu moved around and jumped off the bridge.
"I got him!" Racer said as he moved around and tried to get him. Natsu timed his next attack perfectly as he smashed his fist against Racer's face and knocked him out.
"Let me try!" Hoteye said. He tried attacking him again, but Natsu jumped high in the air. Hoteye tried to follow him, but he soon lost sight of him. "Where'd he go now?" He hurried back on the bridge, but that was when Salamander showed himself and smashed him through the bridge with him being knocked out as his head hit the ground.
"Dodge this!" Cobra shouted as he tried to attack him directly, but Natsu gave him a powerful uppercut that knocked him off the ground. Natsu grabbed Cobra's leg and smashed him hard against the ground. Five down and only one to go. That was right when Brain blasted Natsu right in the back.
"Something doesn't seem right." Brain said. "He hasn't said a word. That's not like him." He saw Salamander get back up as his black suit fixed itself. "Your new suit is interesting. I'm going to enjoy painfully peeling it off." He tried to blast Salamander again, but he kept jumping around. Natsu grabbed on a light post. He spun around as fast as he could with his feet blazing. He launched himself right at Brain and hit him hard with him being smashed against the railing. All six members were beaten, but Salamander didn't stop. He grabbed Brain and was about to assault him some more.
"Salamander, stop! It's over!" Siegrain called as the police showed up. Salamander didn't stuck around as he jumped in the air and left. He may have won, but something didn't seem right.
...
Natsu
When Natsu awoke, he saw he was still in bed, but he still felt the bruises from the fight. When he looked outside and his clock, he saw how early it was.
"It's morning?! It's the next day already?" Natsu said. "I must have been more exhausted than I thought." Natsu got up and got dressed as he made his way down. He was about to walk into his brother's room, but stopped. "Nah... I don't want to argue with him about the suit." Natsu ignored his brother's room and went to get the paper at the door. When he got there, he was shocked to see photos of last night's fight. "Oracion Seis behind bars?! Photos by Natsu Dragneel?! I don't remember this!" 'How did this happen?' He wondered. 'I don't remember fighting them. Was it the lifeform? Did it had something to do with it? Oh well. The Oracion Seis are back where they belong, and I get payment for the photos.'
"Natsu! There you are!" He looked to see Lucy walking over. "You disappeared on me. There's something about your brother..."
"Shh! He's still sleeping." Natsu said.
"No, Natsu." Lucy said as she grabbed his hands. "There was an accident. Zeref got hurt and is in the hospital." Hearing that news was a bigger shock to Natsu. Things are starting to get out of control.
