YumYum495: That is so true with some characters. Lol I know someone who also only needs a little bit of sleep. It was strange when I first heard about since I'm the kind of person that needs at least six hours of sleep or I am absolutely rubbish throughout the day.

Previously:

Natsu just gave a nod as the Toshiro looked at the side of the wall. The pink haired male was grinning as he continued to deliver attack after attack. The red eyed man growled, "I'll make you regret turning against me. Mark my words."

"All talk no bite." The fire wizard replied delivering a kick to the man's head. The man went flying and crashed into the wall. The two went to charge at each other but jumped back when ice flew in between them.

Now:

Natsu and the red eyed man looked over at Toshiro who had a strange look on his face as he said, "I will need to get used to that and learn how to aim." He covered his mouth at the strangeness of the dragon roar attack. In his head Hyorinmaru was laughing at how his son was acting. The child had reacted the same way when he first did it. It was amazing how some things never changed. Though irritated Toshiro get after the dragon later for laughing at him but for now he'd try the other attack that Hyorinmaru taught him before the start of the mission. Holding his hands to his side a snow storm built in-between of them.

The red eyed man smiled amused. He had no idea that the Ice Dragon Slayer had no idea how to use his dragon slaying magic. "And here I though you were going to be challenge."

Teal eyes narrowed at the implication, "You are going to regret those words." The energy in his hands glowed a bright blue as Toshiro yelled out, "Ice Dragon Blizzard Strike." Natsu had the sense to jump out of the way allowing for the attack to hit the red eyes man straight in the chest. The man yelled out as the cold blast surrounding him in a miniature blizzard.

Toshiro was pleased that the attack had hit its mark. When the attack died down the man glowered at him as ice had frosted over some of his clothing, "You are going to wish you just worked with me instead of against me."

"I swear all you bad guys say the same thing. Pick better lines." Natsu said with a smirk as he charged, "Fire Dragon Wing Attack." Fire flew off of the pinkette's arms hitting the man and melting the ice that had formed on his clothes. The man growled as the fire dissipated, his clothes now singed. Without warning he got hit by a frosty fist to the face courtesy from Toshiro. This just seemed to boost the Fire Dragon Slayer on, "Let's see if that warms up your cold attitude?"

"You two will pay for this, ten fold."

The dragon slayers snorted un-amused. Toshiro agreed with Natsu about the bad guys needing better lines or they could at least do something about it instead of just talking about it. The two alternated between the red eye man getting hit with cold fists and fiery blasts. "Fire Dragon Roar!"

Toshiro jumped into the air just missing being hit with the fire as it engulfed the red eyed man. Holding his hands to his side the white haired Dragon Slayer charged his attack. Once the fire was gone he sent out his Ice Dragon Blizzard Strike again surprising the red eyes man as he was not expecting to be attacked from above. With a magic blast the red eyed man dissipated the blizzard only to be met with element covered fists from both Dragon Slayers to the face sending him flying. The two landed on the stage looking at where the man had landed.

The man stood up glaring heatedly at the two slayer's. "I'm going to drain you two to utter weakness." Holding his hand out a dark portal opened up at the base of the stage showing a large golem slowly climbing out.

Natsu was grinning while Toshiro was analyzing the situation. 'The enemy always saves their trump card to the end, that must mean this one is far stranger than the other two we fought.' Glancing at his fellow dragon slayer the ice user said, "We have to stop him before the golem gets out."

"We can handle it."

"Yes, by draining our reserves. This one has to be one of his stronger golems." Natsu had an 'oh' face making Toshiro's eye twitch, 'I swear he's as idiotic as Kurosaki.' "I'm going to keep the golem busy you take care of the man. I'm going to need to concentrate to keep it from coming out." Natsu nodded and jumped over the emerging golem and had his punch blocked by the man's forearm. "What ever you do don't hold back."

Toshiro held his hands out and used the binding kido keeping the golem from getting out further. But even as he held the creature from getting out he could feel the beast trying. The half soul reaper grit his teeth as he felt his spiritual pressure draining in his attempt to hold the creature down. 'Damn it. I think that drain took more than just magic. My spiritual pressure if fluctuating. Dragneel better hurry up. I don't think I can hold it as long as I thought I could.'

'My son, hang in there. You are stronger than you think you are. Put your magic in the center of the kido spell. While they can't blend they can be used at the same time. This will give your attacks more of a punch when you do this.' Toshiro nodded doing what the dragon had suggested. He could feel the spiritual pressure forming a tunnel around the magic as it helped to keep the golem from getting out. The creature was getting angry as it fought back against its binds. Its yells bounced through the building as it continued to struggle.

Off the side he saw the last man that Erza was fighting land in his peripheral vision and hear the pews collapsing but he continued to focus on the golem roaring angrily at him. Its red eyes promised a very painful defeat should it get free. 'I can't let it get free. I can't.' His vision started to cloud, 'No! I have to hang in there. Dragneel needs all the time I can get him.' When the binds snapped he fell to the ground exhausted but still tried to get up as the golem pulled itself more out of the portal. "D…damn it."

Thankfully, before the golem could get out completely, it was pulled back in as it tried to reach for him. He jumped back just in time to miss being grabbed as the portal sucked he golem back in. He heard Natsu yell so he looked to see the pinkette duck and a dark shadow heading his direction. He would have rolled but got dragged to the side by Erza. The three turned to see the shadow go into the dragon statue.

Toshiro was tempted to smash it but knew that could easily end badly as they did not know much about the relic to begin with. He stood up and picked up the statue happy to see a crack on the side of the face. "We need to bring these back to the village."

Natsu picked up a bag to which they put all the relics in then went about getting the men bound so they could bring them back to with them. Erza walked in from outside with a fourth man that Toshiro and Natsu had no idea was there. "Let's just say he's a strange one. He made no sense when we were fighting."

Toshiro nodded and helped bind him with the other three. He felt even more exhausted now after using the kido again to bind the men. "Scarlet, do you mind helping make sure these men don't get away?"

"Not at all. Natsu can carry the relic bag." Natsu grumbled but grabbed the bag quickly as Erza and Toshiro glared at him icily. "Let's get back quickly. We need to get Gray help as soon as possible."

The white haired male nodded and releasing the men from the sleeping kido, "Get up, you all have a lot to answer for."
