Her Champion

A/N: I walk into my room with a tired expression on my face "Ugh what a day..." I say while sitting down in my computer chair.

"Okay let`s get started." I turn on my computer and see a steam login window pop up. Just as I was about to login.

(WHEM!)

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Something smacks me in the back of my head.

"WHO THE FU-..." My words die in my throat when I saw who smacked me. It was my alter ego, Miguel.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!?" I shout out at him

"My problem!? What the hell is yooouurr problem?" He said while pointing at me. "Do you know what day it is?"

"Umm... September 14?" I answer him

"Yes! And now look at this." He shows me his phone and I see that it's my profile page

"Okay, it's my profile page. So?" I said not understanding him.

"Look at your third story..." I look at it and... I see nothing wrong with it.

"Uhh..." I say thinking he was going insane.

"OH FOR THE LOVE! LOOK AT THE UPDATE DATE!" He yells at me in frustration. I look at his phone again and finally see what he meant.

"Oh... Has it really been that long?" I say while scratching my cheek in thought.

"YES, YOU DEEPSHIT! Now turn off your little games and go work on your story." I look at him for a little bit in thought before saying.

"Nah... There`s plenty of time for that. Now do me a favor and go away, nerd. Dark souls will not beat itself.

(SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!")

"OW OW OW OW OW" I cry out as he begins to stomp on me in frustration.

"NO YOU DON`T! GO DO SOME WORK FOR THE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW YOU`RE SHITTY STORIES YOU ASSHOLE!"

"OW! OKAY OW. JUST STOP KICKING ME ALREADY!"

Miguel then turns towards you and clears his throat before speaking.

"Sorry about that everyone. Tim has just hit a writer's block on this story and thus totally forgot about it until I didn`t give him a good kicking. He is working on this chapter as we speak so because he is busy I will be answering the reviews on his behalf."

Miguel pulls a small paper out of his pocket.

"The first one we have is from TheBrokenTool and says: "Good fanfic but still a little confused how Natsu has all of a sudden forgotten erza electrocuting him and enslaving him by tricking him.""

Sova: "Well he didn`t forget it. He just decided to give her another shot in order to see if she was truly as kind as he thinks she is. Trust me all will become more clear after the tournament is finished. Also, I am glad that you think this fanfic is good."

"Next one is from reddevil47: Loved the story a lot more than I thought I would. Something about the way you write Natsu is different from how he is in the show and still the same as well. It's very nice how strong he is as well, while still not being crazy OP.""

Miguel: "Thank you for your kind words. And yeah sorry about writing Natsu the way I am. I just don`t have enough fairy tail knowledge to write him properly. Hope you and everyone else don`t mind."

"And that is it. Hope you all enjoy this chapter and have a wonderful day." Miguel waves at all of you before walking out of my room.

I walk over and look straight at every one of you. "Also I do not own anything from Fairy tail. I own only my OC`s and nothing more. Enjoy everyone and pray for my survival."

"God motherfucker kicks hard," I said, rubbing my backside as I go back to my chair.

Chapter 15

Unleash the dragon

Natsu did the kick up off the ground and got back to his feet. He begins to dust himself off from the dust and sand that have landed on him from the other man`s sneeze. Once he was done dusting his pants off, he strengthens himself and looked across at the man who was still rubbing his nose.

"Bless you." He said towards his opponent.

"Thanks." The older man said with a smile.

Natsu did not waste much time after that brief interaction, slowly went down into his fighting stance, and tried not to show his uneasiness from sensing the man`s magic.

"This magic pressure is insane. It like I`m carrying a mountain on my shoulders, It`s... Frightening." Natsu thought before shaking his head in hope to throw away the feeling of fear that was slowly creeping in his mind.

Up at the balcony:

Erza was also a little shaken up from Cana`s champion`s sneeze. Though in her travels and tournament battles, she fought many opponents who were no pushovers in terms of magical power. This however was something totally new to her. The man was radiating such an intense amount of magical energy, it felt as if her armor has become havier.

She felt like she was staring at the second version of Natsu at his max power.

"Its frightening isn`t it?" She heard Cana asked from beside her, making her turn her head towards her.

"That amount of power. It's frightening really. I remember the first time I felt it too. My body froze up in fear and I felt like I was being crushed by the gravity it's self." Cana says with a distant look in her eyes. They soon became focused again and look at Erza with a serious look. "You should call for the match to be stopped before Natsu gets seriously hurt. No matter how strong he is, or how much fate you have in him. He stands no chance against Gildarts."

Erza only narrowed her eyes at her competition and turned back to watch Natsu`s fight against a man now known as Gildarts. Cana only shook her head at Erza`s stubbornness, knowing that this match will not take long to end.

On the second balcony above them:

Jellal and Gabriel were looking at the two champions with interest, wanting to see how two powerful magic users will square off. Jellal however looked more worried than excited.

"Something wrong son?" Gabriel asked noticing the worried expression on his face.

"Nothing to worry about father." Jellal laid to the king. Gabriel knew his son was lying but choose not to push the subject any further. His eyes locked back to the arena and raised his hand in the air, ready to signal the start of the last match.

In the arena:

"Are you ready?" The king asked to which both competitors nodded. Nothing but silence followed for a few seconds before Gabriel didn`t lower his hand down in a chopping motion.

"Begin!"

"WOOSH!" Natsu started by throwing a fireball at Guildarts, to which the older man simply swatted it away with the back of his hand. Erasing it from existence.

Natsu was shocked at how the older man stopped his attack so easily but quickly continued his onslaught with a few more fireballs. They too meet the same fate as the first one. Frustrated at how easily the man was getting rid of his attacks, Natsu charged at him with his fist pulled back.

"FIRE DRAGON`S IRON FIST!" Natsu shouted as he sent a flaming fist towards the man`s face. However, it was simply caught by the other man`s own hand creating a shock wave through the arena from the amount of strength Natsu used in that punch as the man`s grip tighten around his fists

"Crush!" the sound was caught by Natsu`s ears as he watched in surprise as the flames around his fist were gone the moment the word was said.

"Hehe. Surprised kid? I don`t blame ya, not many can say that they WOW!" He stopped speaking in order to doge a fast kick from Natsu, letting go of his fist in the process. Natsu did not let up and continued his attack, kicks and punches were thrown at Gildarts all of which he easily dodged.

"Damn it why can`t I hit him?" Natsu thought in frustration as he continued his assault. Finally, he tried tied to surprise his opponent by using his sword horn attack but was caught in mid-air by his head. The flames surrounding his body faded just like the flames around his fist.

Gildarts smirked when Natsu tried to power out of his grip but couldn`t, Gildarts pulled his own fist back before saying.

"My turn."

After that Natsu found himself flying back with a large amount of pain coming from his left cheek. He flew for a few seconds before landing on the ground at which he continued to roll on until he finally didn`t come to a stop.

Gildarts was surprised at how far the boy went flying. He was honestly expecting for him to just drop down on the floor knocked out, just like all of his other opponents not for him to be sent like a ragdoll across the arena.

"Did I overdo it?" He thought in a nervous tone while looking at the unmoving body of Natsu. However, he was surprised to see Natsu moving his arms slowly and started to use them in support to get back up. A smirk slowly spread across his lips as he waited for Natsu to get back up.

"Ow... Damn, he hits hard!" Natsu thought while moving his lower jaw from side to side, trying to ease up the pain. He slowly got back up onto his feet but was not prepared for a spiking pain that came from his midsection.

It was so sudden and painful that knocked the wind out of him and made him vomit spit out of his mouth. He found himself once again on his hands and knees coughing the rest of the vomit and spit out of his mouth as he tried to get some air back in his lungs.

Gildarts who had kneed Natsu in the gut. Stood over him as he watched the boy puke his launch with a disgusted and troubled look. He thought that since the kid is tough enough to withstand a punch from him, the knee to the gut would do him in but he did not think that the kid would stay consciousness much less puke his guts out.

"God. He is making this difficult. Cana will chew my head off before I am able to knock this kid out. But even so, he has spirit I will give him that." Gildarts thought while looking at pained Natsu with an impressed look. This tournament has been a cakewalk for him, all he had to do was strike once and his opponent was out like a light. The fact that someone as young as Natsu was putting up a better fight than any of his other opponents truly impressed Cana`s champion.

Speaking of Cana she was looking at her champion with a glare. Something that she usually does when she is displeased with him. Though she has not been worried about Gildarts since she knew what he was capable of, she was worried about his opponents most of the time. She knew that Gildarts could very well erase someone from the very existence if he so pleases to, which is why she told him to finish the fights as fast as possible. She wanted to avoid someone getting hurt too badly.

But Natsu has really surprised her. She did not expect anyone to be able to take a hit from Gildarts and get up afterward. He really was impressive.

"What is that fool doing!" She thought while looking at Gildarts."I thought I told him to end this quickly not to abuse the poor guy." She turned her attention to the downed pink-haired boy. Hoping that he will not be stubborn and stay down.

Erza on the other hand was trying her best to hide the worry she was feeling. She was clutching the left arm rester with her left hand while the right holds on tightly to Natsu`s scarf that was wrapped around her neck. She thought that this would be easy for Natsu because of his legendary magic but seeing how Gildarts was easily dodging his attacks, made her feel uneasy.

It got worst when Natsu was ragdolled to the other side of the arena from one punch and her true feelings were nearly revealed when Gildarts kneed him so hard that he puked his breakfast out. She was

Though she had know Natsu for only seven days. She knew that just like her, he was a fighter above anything else. He will fight until his very last breath, till his bones are broken and his muscles are shattered beyond belief. Even then he would continue to fight until the last of his being is nothing more the dust.

"Natsu..." She clutched the scarf harder as Natsu begins to slowly rise up.

Above them, Jellal had the same worried look as Erza. He knew how powerful Gildarts was but he was hoping that Natsu would at least stand a chance against him. The two strikes Natsu took were hard-hitting and very impactful. But his hope was still there and he knew Natsu was not going to go down easily.

"Jezz kid. You are way tougher then I thought. I didn`t think that anyone will make me sweat as much as you did. So how about we-" before he could finish Natsu quickly lifted his head up and fired a beam of fire at him from his mouth.

"Gah!" He yelped in surprise as he dodged to the right. He was not prepared for a knee strike to his chin from Natsu who took the advantage of Gildart's surprised state. He saw another chance for an attack and he took it by spinning around and driving his left elbow into the older man`s cheek.

The force of the attack made Gildarts take two steps back as he held his face in pain. Natsu however was not about to let him nurse his pain away and charged again with his fist aflame.

The crowd seemed to be brought to life as the (in their minds) underdog of the finals has managed to be the first man to hurt Gildarts since the tournament started. Some even started to clap at his achievement.

Cana was the most shocked about this turn of events. Never in her life did she thought that someone like Gildarts would get hit, much less twice. This boy was truly something else.

Erza and Jellal had small smiles of relief on their faces. They knew that Natsu was not going to be taken down that easily, that he will find a way to make the older man let his guard down. He just needed to wait for the opportunity to show itself and when it did, he took it.

Natsu jumped in the air after gaining his momentum from running and pulled his fist back for a big meaty attack.

"FIRE DRAGON`S-" He was interrupted when he was literally grabbed in mid-air by his dragon collar and left dangling off the ground. Gildarts who had recovered from the surprise attacks stared at Natsu with a glare, the right hand that was holding onto Natsu`s collar tighten its grip on it.

The crowd went silent again as they saw the face Gildarts was making. Some even gulped down the imaginary lump that formed in their throats. However, Cana`s eyes opened wide in disbelief and shock at the look that Gildarts was giving Natsu.

"Oh shit." She says in a low voice after everyone quiets down but Erza was still able to hear her. She looked at Cana with a confused look.

"What?" She asked not liking how pale Cana has suddenly become.

Cana slowly turned to look at Erza. Her face showed dread, worry, and shock as she told her a simple. "Your boy fucked up." A moment later they heard the sound of something hitting the floor hard as their attention went back to the arena, where Gildarts started to slam Natsu from one side to another while still holding him by his neck collar.

"GAHHHHHHH!" They heard Natsu grunt out in pain every time his back made contact with the ground. Erza`s worry returned full force as she felt pain in her chest that increased every time Natsu got slammed. Before long she had a hand over her chest and her eyes were beginning to water as Gildarts continued to punish her champion.

"Stop it... please..." She begged the pain in her chest to stop as it was begging to because unbearable.

Cana however was furious. She did not want this. All she wanted was for Gildarts to win this quickly not trying to cripple his opponent. She was about to yell out to him but then she saw Gildarts released and sent him flying across the field again with Natsu coming to a stop 20 feet away. She saw that Natsu was badly hurt after that, his body twitched in pain as he laid on the ground.

"Well... Hopefully, he will stay down after that." Cana thought while looking at the beat-up man. Her attention was quickly turned on her champion. She glared at his back which must have been felt by him since he shivered where he stood. Oh, she was going to have a long talk with him.

"Ahh!" A sudden yelp in pain surprised her as it came from right next to her. She looked over to her right and saw Erza holding her right shoulder in pain as a red glow was shining from within her right shoulder guard.

She quickly ripped it off and saw her red dragon stomp glowing red before it slowly vanished. Erza`s opened wide, she holds her breath as she slowly turns her head to look at Gildarts. When it turned fully she saw him staring down at his hand in confusion, like he was holding something he did not recognize. She was so caught up in her shock that she bearly heard Cana ask.

"Hey! Do you hear me? What the hell was that?" She asked while shaking Erza`s left shoulder at which the amazon princess did not even turn to her.

"You are about to find out." She said as her eyes were glued onto something. Cana followed her gaze that leads to Natsu who was still laying on the ground. Her eyes narrowed in confusion but soon widen as magical pressure in the air was starting to grow... at an intense pace.

And it was not coming from Gildarts.

Back at the arena:

"Ahh... Damn it... My back..." Natsu ground as he slowly moved his arms to help him get up. His vision was foggy and his back and shoulder blades hurt like hell as he tried to fight through the pain and slowly begin to rise. He felt sand roll off his cloughs as his struggle to continued and then he felt something metallic roll off his neck before landing down on the sandy floor.

"What the hell just happened?" He shook his head to clear his vision and looked down at the sand. He then saw something that made his heart skip a beat. It was that damn dragon collar that stopped him from using his full power, it laid down beneath him and it looked like it was broken in pieces. Like someone ripped it with their bare hands. He then slowly raised his hand to look at Guildarts who was still looking at his hand in confusion.

Slowly the gears inside Natsu`s head started turning and a sweet evil grin spread across his lips as he started to slowly rise back to his feet.

Gildarts was looking at the other piece of the dragon collar that he ripped from Natsu with his magic. He then closed his hand around it, erasing it from existence as his gaze turned back to Natsu who had gotten back to his feet. His eyes were covered by his pink hair and he had a smirk on his face which confused Gildarts even more than he already was.

"Yo kid! What`s with the loo-" His words left him as he begins to feel the heat in the air that started to make him sweat. Though it was a sunny day, he knew that it couldn`t be that hot outside for him to feel this hot. He wasn`t the only one as people in the crowd were beginning to sweat as well, same with the king and the prince who both knew that the heat was not coming from the sun.

Soon Natsu raised his head and reviled his onyx eyes that shined in excitement and evil happiness. His smirk became his signature toothy grin as flames started to dance around his body slowly. Gildarts took a step back and raised his arm in the hope to prevent the heat from coming to him. He felt the pressure in the air build as the flames around Natsu became faster and more vicious.

"Hey! What the hell are you-"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" With a mighty roar, Natsu`s flames exploded around his body creating a giant aura that brighten the whole colosseum around him. People in the first rows jumped back when they saw the fire expand past the barricade and made them turn back with hard sweat pouring down their bodies.

Jellal and Gabriel were stunned in place by the sudden explosion of power from Natsu. The pressure of magical power pinned them down from the sheer gravity and heat that the flames were releasing. They set there speechless as the marveled at the sudden power display.

"What... What is this?" Cana thought as her body shook in fair and intimidation. She has not felt like this since the first time she had meet Gildarts, the sheer weight of it and heat made her mind dizzy as sweat poured down her body.

Erza was no different. She had completely forgotten how heavy and thick Natsu`s power felt at its fullest potential. She gripped the scarf around her neck with newfound nervousness but at the same time, with newfound hope.

Gildarts gritted his teeth as flames passed him. He tried to use his crash magic on them but was surprised at how little it did against them. It was like they were eating at it magic, he looked over at the younger man with a surprised gaze at which Natsu`s grin only widened.

"Hey old man." Natsu said in a confidant tone of voice."Hope you`re ready."

He then slammed his fists together which caused the flames around him to grow more violent and burn brighter.

"Cuz I`m all fired up."

A/N: Well I hope you all enjoyed it.
