As they split up searching for Natsu throughout Kuoh Town, Natsu was staying far away from the group of people around him. Inside of Hyoudou's Residence, Rias said, "Obsidian is definitely going to make their move soon. And they might attack at any moment."

Issei looked outside and saw Natsu running and said, "It's already begun."

Yuuto asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Rias answered, "Natsu is out there, isn't he?"

Issei answered, "Yep."

Natsu looked up at the window and then said, "I saved a member of Obsidian. And it was a trap. And now they are here. Gotta run."

Ddraig said, "It was a trap after all."

Ingvild said, "That Dragon really will get him killed."

Koneko said, "How will we save him?"

Rias answered, "We'll fight to help him out."

Koneko said, "Alright."

Everyone got up out of their seat and then Yuna followed him saying, "I can smell you, Dragon. I know where you are hiding."

Ddraig said, "Let's head toward Natsu. He's going to need our help."

5 minutes later, a man known as Sam Ryder appeared in front of Natsu saying, "Hello. I'm here to bring you in."

Natsu growled and then Sam made flames appear from his hands and said, "Here we go. Fight me and come back to Obsidian with us."

Natsu said, "I'm afraid that isn't going to happen."

They started swinging at each other and sparks of flames appeared all over the place. Yuna saw the sparks and said, "So Sam beat me to him, huh? He really is fast for a Fire Magician."

Sam punched Natsu, but Natsu barely budged from his position. Sam saw that and then Aura said, "Sam Ryder, he's a Fire Magician. And is a member of White Branch. The branch that Obsidian sent to capture you. Sam is one of the Top Eight of White Branch. And he won't be defeated easily. Even though you are a Dragon, it still won't be easy to defeat him."

Natsu heard that and then said, "I see. It really is going to be rough."

Sam kicked Natsu's head and then his head tilted to the side. Sam kept up with the attack and then Natsu sighed and then punched his ribs and Sam coughed up blood and started moving backwards due to how hard Natsu punched him. Sam held his ribs and said to himself, "Shit. His punches pack quite the punch. I really need to come up with another plan to defeat him. He's no normal Human."

Yuna said, "He's not a Human, Sam. He's a Dragon."

Sam heard that and said, "As in a fire breathing Dragon."

Yuna answered, "Yes. A literal Dragon."

Sam said, "That explains how he is capable of taking all of this damage."

Yuna said, "Trust me, you won't beat him easily."

Sam said, "Fire Fist Ace." He punched Natsu with a devastating punch and Natsu flew back into a building. As he was flying back, Issei appeared catching him and Ddraig said, "You are going to get him killed Dragon."

Aura said, "Ddraig, long time no see. Do you remember a Dragon known as Aura?"

Ddraig said, "Yes. She's the strongest known Dragon in the multiverse. What about her?"

Natsu answered, "You are talking to her."

Ddraig said, "Impossible. She's dead."

Aura said, "Just sealed inside of Natsu. That's all."

Issei said, "You really are one crazy man."

The smoke disappeared and Sam saw that Natsu was unharmed and was with Issei and said, "Two for one, huh? I love this."

Issei said, "I'm not joining Obsidian. And neither is Natsu."

Natsu said, "Your damn right I'm not joining Obsidian."

Issei smiled and then Yuna said, "I'm almost there. Hang in there, Sam."

Sam said, "Thanks. I owe you one."

Issei flew toward Sam, but Sam dove to the side and Natsu went to uppercut him, but Sam pushed his body over Natsu. As that happened, Issei tackled him into a building. Sam coughed up blood and then Natsu punched him in the face pushing his head up against the wall of the building causing an explosion. As soon as Yuna got a block away from Sam's location, a girl appeared out of nowhere and then punched her face saying, "I'm back bitch."

Yuna heard that and looked at her and said, "Shion Leviathan. You really don't know when to quit, do you?"

Shion answered, "I won't let you have your way."

Yuna said, "I see. If that's the case, then let's continue where we left off. A fight to the death. Yuna Nakamura vs. Shion Leviathan. Who will win? The Demon? Or the Human? Let the fight between enemies begin its final stage."

Shion said, "Agreed."
