"Speaking"

On with the story
Natsu and Azuma battled it out as the two were sending fist after fist, kick after kick, they were fighting with their all
They were now in a tired state as Natsu and Azuma were looking at each other with grins plastered on their faces
"even with the vast amount of magic stored in Tenroujima, it still won't work against you" Azuma said to Natsu
"what do you expect? I'm a walking flamethrower" Natsu told him before got blown away by a black sphere that made him crashed into a cliff
"GUh!"
"Natsu!" Azuma exclaimed as he looks to where the attack came from
"Bluenote!?" he exclaimed as the man came jumping in
"you sure had your share of fun, Azuma" Bluenote told him as he started to approach Natsu
"don't you dare interfere with our duel!" Azuma exclaimed at him
"heh" Bluenote scoffed at him as he lifts his hand up and made the gravity around them heavier
"guuh!?" Azuma was forced down on one knee as Bluenote stood over him
"don't try to mess with me, brat" Bluenote told to Azuma
"I finally got someone who can make me fly"
Azuma grunted as he tried to get up
"the old man kept me waiting for too long at the ship, I ain't going to sit there dwindling my thumbs when there i- Gaaah!" Bluenote was about to turn around and head towards Natsu but was stopped as he was sent flying away from a flaming punch and crashes into a rock wall
CRASH!
"You got some nerve messing with a man to man fight, punk" Natsu said as he was pissed
Azuma looks at him as he was surprised to see that he had no damage on him of whatsoever
Bluenote got off the hole he made on the rock wall and landed on the ground
He was smirking as this was the first time for him to get blown away in long time
"you said you wanna fly, right?" Natsu said as Bluenote readied his magic
"BLACK HOLE!"
A giant sphere of black energy forms in front of Bluenote as he readied his attack at Natsu
"then fly, you bird wannabe" Natsu said as he burst into flames
"Enryuo no!"
"make me fly!" Bluenote shouted as his attack flies towards Natsu
"Hokken!"
Natsu punches the swirling dark energy like sphere as it causes a collision of power
Azuma holds onto the ground as he was getting blown away
A vein appeared on Natsu's right fist as his attack overpowers Bluenote's
Bluenote looks at the collision of power as his attack was disintegrated and Natsu's fist came flying to his abdomen
"guuuuaaaaahhhhh!"
Bluenote coughs out drops of blood before getting burned and blown away by Natsu
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"
He was then sent flying away in a torrent of flames that could be seen by everyone on the island
"what the heck!?" Gray exclaimed after finished defeating Ultear
"it's Natsu, that man always like to end a fight with a bang" Ultear said with a smile as she sees the flaming torrent and then saw a figure falling down to the ocean
"he must've defeated Bluenote, one of our strongest members" Ultear told to Gray
"that guy is a real monster" Gray said with a grin before feeling another rumbling
"what now?!" Gray exclaimed as his eyes widen to see the Tenrou tree, re-growing back to normal
"is this Azuma's doing?" Ultear said as he was the only one in her guild, she knows who can control trees
Azuma had his hands out as the Tenroujima's Sacred Tree's roots were re-planting themselves back to the island as it was rebuilding itself
"I haven't won, you know?" Natsu asked the man while looking at him
"even if we fought, I believe the result would have been in your favour" Azuma told him as the tree was now back to normal
"thank you, for the amazing fight of my life" Azuma told him with a smile
Natsu looks at him for a moment before smiling as well
"people like you are the ones that I like, I don't think I can find any more people like you anywhere else" Natsu said as he and Azuma shakes hands
"what are you going to do now?" Natsu asked Azuma
"I do not know" Azuma replied to him as he looks at the Sacred Tenrou tree
"but for now, I think I will lay rest my fighting days"
Natsu sighs with a smile as this was the first time, he had ever made friends with a dark guild, Ultear beings an exception.
"but I must warn you this, Master Hades is not one to be taken lightly" Azuma told to Natsu
"he is a man who is very close to be called a demon and an immortal"
"so, what?" Natsu said as his body burst into flames and he was now wearing a sleeveless black vest with a red scarlet line running down his back
"they don't call me the Salamander for nothing, you know?" Natsu said with a grin as Azuma sighs with a smile
"you're right" Azuma said in reply
The two then went their separate ways as Azuma was now no longer a member of Grimoire Heart
At the other side of the island
"Just what the hell was that?" Cana said after seeing the Tenrou tree, rising back up to its former place
"I don't know. But what I do know is that it might be Natsu" Lucy said as she knew that flaming torrent was from him
They all then started to walk thought the forest as Lucy was carrying Gidlarts with Cana's help while Wendy was carrying Makarov with Charla's help
"the Tenrou tree, it's protection is back" Wendy said as she gazes upon the tree
They then arrived to the base camp, or whatever is left of it
"Levy-chan!" Lucy exclaimed as she saw Levy with the wounded
"Lu-chan! You're all safe!" Levy exclaimed in joy to see them back
"what happened here?" Cana asked her while putting down Gildarts with Lucy's help
"me and Mira-nee got attacked by Grimoire Heart, we tried to fight him off but we weren't able to win" Lisanna said while sadly looking at her elder sister
Lucy nodded in understanding before hearing nearby bushes moving
"who's there!?" Cana exclaimed as she pulled out her cards from her bag
Lucy and Wendy went to defend the wounded as they wait to see on who it was
"oh, found you"
It was Natsu and he was carrying a knocked out Juvia and a pink haired girl
"Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed in surprise to see him
"Natsu-san!" Wendy said in joy to see him again
"where have you been?" Cana asked him as he passes Juvia to Lucy who helped her to the sickbay
"been around almost everywhere on the island, met with a crazy looking blonde guy, I beat him. then I met this Azuma guy, we brawled before we got interrupted by a guy with a weird face" Natsu said
"must've been Bluenote" Cana said as she assumed that he stops fighting Gildarts to fight with Natsu
"yeah, that guy. Then I blasted him away since he wants to fly, something like that. then me and Azuma became good buddies and he restored the tree back to normal" Natsu said as they were surprised to hear that it was an enemy who restored back the tree
"and on my way here, I found these two knocked out" Natsu said as he motions to the pink hair girl, he was carrying
"looks like we got everyone here" Freed and Bickslow came in
"what did you do to him?" Lisanna asked the two
"we sent him down a river on a raft" Bickslow told her as they were attacked by Rustyrose but Freed and Bickslow came to the rescue and saved them in the nick of time
"how many kins are left?" Lucy asked before seeing Gray coming into the camp from the forest with Ultear behind him
"Gray! Behind you!" Cana shouted as she was about to throw her cards at Ultear
"wait! She's no longer an enemy!" Gray defended Ultear
"no wonder this girl has your smell" Natsu said in a quite annoyed tone as he motions to the girl, he was carrying
"you know her?" Freed asked him
"she's my ex" Natsu said with a sigh as she set down the girl, he was carrying
"heh, I think Erza has the rights to know about that" Lucy said with a smirk
"please don't, she's going to make me sleep on the couch for a month if you did" Natsu told to her
"Meredy" Ultear went to the pink hair girl as she helped her up
"okay then, back to Lucy's first question" Natsu said
"she is out, Azuma, that Bluenote guy, that Zancrow guy, this girl, who else?" Natsu asked
"we got that Rustyrose guy" Bickslow told him
"six, who else is left?"
"me and Lucy took out a fat guy who said that he was with the kin" Cana said before the said Kain Hikaru, with the two animals like people came in
"oooo ouie!" Kain appeared with his so called Curse doll
"we have come for a rematch!"
"pero pero!"
Natsu did a spin as he sent a flaming kick at them and sends them flying away
"aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"that makes seven, right?" Natsu said as everyone sweat drops to the fact that he just sent the last one straight to the sky
"now, let's take out the captain" Natsu said with a grin
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
