Within the Domus Flau' tower area, Darton with Arcadios looks at the field where all team participants are present upon.

"the celestial wizard is not there!" said Darton in seeing that Lucy is not present in the team.

"seems that she is within the Fairy Tail team's infirmary" stated Arcadios.

"don't you do it! You will mess it up like last time!" exclaimed Darton at the knight.

"oh no, last time was a complete blunder. However this time, I will absolutely succeed" stated Arcadios to the Prime Minister of defense.

The two soon turns their attention back to the arena as the Tag team Battle round is about to begin.

"let's enjoy the festival for now, shall we?" asked Arcadios. "I will put our action 3 days from now"

"Eclipse" said Darton with a fearful face.

"the world will be reformed" stated Arcadios with a smile.

"there is no longer anyway to stop this" added Darton while closing his eyes while shaking.

"lord Zeref has been waiting quite some time, hasn't she?" asked Arcadios with a smirk.

Upon time that passed, Darton left Arcadios as he walks down the hallway while hearing the ringing cheers of the crowd.

"Festival, hmmm?" asked Darton as he arrived at a wall where there is a tapestry with the image of a black dragon spewing out flames at a human man. "the great demon gathering..also known by the name of…..the Dragon King Festival. A Banquet of Dragons, People, and Demons"


The start of the first tag team battle round is Ichiya and surprisingly Nichiya, the former captain of the Exceed squad who joined Blue Pegasus, Vs Bacchus and Rocker of Quatro Puppy which ended in Blue Pegasus victory that gained them 10 points.

The next match is Lamia Scale's Lyon and Yuka vs Mermaid Heel's Kagura and Millianna that had ended in a draw because they reached the 30 minute time limit, both teams getting 5 points each.

And now it is time for the last match which is Fairy Tail vs Sabertooth, both team represented by Natsu and Gajeel vs Sting and Rogue, the four mages being Dragon Slayers and that made the crowd cheered even wilder for them.

"just feel that cheering! This might be the battle of history!" shouted Lola as the crowd cheered crazy for the participants who slowly entered the field with serious faces on. "it's the former number one guild of seven years ago vs the current one! This might be the battle to set things in record straight!"

Natsu and Gajeel stands at their side of the field while looking at Sting and Rogue, both of which are doing the same.

"I've been waiting for this moment for years, Natsu-san" said Sting with a smirk while Natsu didn't say anything other than his eyes going hostile.

"it's Finally time for their confrontation! Who will win!? The Fairy of the Tiger!?" shouted Lola as everyone cheered.

"go, Papa! Go, Gaji!" screamed out Haruka and Haruo to the two as the guild cheered for their two dragon slayers.

"it's GAJEEL!" shouted Gajeel angry as the twins got his name wrong.

"be more focus on the battle, Gajeel" said Natsu as he keeps his eyes on Sting and Rogue.

"I'd be more focus if your brats doesn't get my name wrong every now and then, Salamander!" said Gajeel with a annoyed tone before he looks at their opponents. "and I won't be giving any mercy for what these guys guild did to Lucy after all"

Natsu glance at Gajeel once with a small smile before back to Sting and Rogue as the Four Dragon Slayers battle is about to begin.

"it's over, trash guild," said Jilemma as he watched from the stands with various other spectators.

"I know you can win you two" stated Makarov with a serious face. "I have nothing else to say"

"Are the fighters ready?!" Mato shouted as he raised his arm in the air and sees the serious look on the wizard's faces, he lowered his arm to signal the gong. "Go!" he shouted as the gong rang.

As Sting and Rogue were about to go on the attack, Natsu appeared in front of the two as he had his right leg pulled back before he swung it hard right at the two Sabertooth's Dragon Slayers and sends them flying back where Gajeel is at. The Iron Dragon Slayer pulled both his hands behind while clenching his fists tight before swinging them right at Sting and Rogue's back, sending the two straight to the ground.

"in an instant! Natsu and Gajeel sends the Twin Dragon Slayers down to the ground!" shouted Lola as the quick attack from Natsu and Gajeel surprised the members of Sabertooth.

Sting regained his grounding first as the White Dragon Slayer got on all four while taking a deep breath

"Hakuryu no Hoko!" Sting breathes out a white laser like breath attack at Natsu who weaved several hand signs before the man puffs his chest and breathes out a stream of blue hot flames at Sting's attack and caused an explosion.

"what power! Natsu just performed some peculiar hand signs before breathing out streaming blue flames that collides with Sting's breath attack and exploded!" shouted Lola as he holds his wig hair from flying away because of the gust from the explosion.

"seems that it was a technique in releasing the attack" commented Yajima with a small smile.

"amazing power! Thank you so much!" shouted Rabian.

"what were those hand signs that Natsu did!?" "and that stream of blue flames! It's not like his usual flames!" exclaimed Jet and Droy as everyone in Fairy Tail who had not gone to Lingyue before were surprised by the action.

"go! Papa!" cheered Haruka and Haruo while Ikaruga watch with a smile, Ikki however was cooing as he reaches a little hand out to the lacrima screen that showed Natsu sending Sting flying away with a punch to the blonde man's face.

Rogue dashed in the shadows as Gajeel tried to lock on to his position but failed

"Eiryu no Zangeki!" Rogue lunged towards Gajeel with a punch, but Gajeel blocks it by turning his right hand into an Iron Dragon Sword.

"got you!" Gajeel shouted as he sends a fist right at Rogue's face.

Natsu did a swing kick as he sends Sting crashing to a wall with Rogue

"This is unbelievable!" Lola exclaimed over the mic. "Sting and Rogue have barely been able to mount any offense so far in this match! Fairy Tail has completely taken control!"

"That's the way, boys!" Makarov shouted, standing on the balcony railing. "Show those punks what happens when you mess with Fairy Tail!"

"I can't believe that Natsu isn't even using his magic" said Gray as he watch how Natsu performed another set of hand signs before he slammed both hands to the ground and caused an eruption of flames from beneath Sting who jumped away to dodge. "why isn't he using his magic?"

"no, it's not why he isn't using his magic. it's more like…." Said Erza while keening her eyes at Natsu who is blocking a punch from Sting before giving the White Dragon Slayer a kick to the face that sends him flying away, Natsu soon gave chase while Erza caught sight of Natsu's movement being momentarily sluggish just for a few seconds. "….why is his magic not with him?"

"what does that mean?" asked Laxus from hearing Erza's words but the Scarlet Knight never answered when the crowd gasped in surprise as Sting and Rogue got sent crashing to the ground while Natsu and Gajeel stood a few feet away from the two.

Sting and Rogue slowly rose to their feet as their bodies are obviously affected by Natsu and Gajeel's assault.

"Gotta admit I was kinda expecting it starts out like this." Sting said as he wipes off some dirt on his cheeks.

"Gajeel" uttered Rogue while only having attention to the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"Is this the best you can do?" said Gajeel while cracking his knuckles. "hard to believe stripper and Titania who told me that you guys beat your dragons"

"We didn't 'beat' our dragons," Sting said, raising his palm to eye level before forming a clenching hard fist with it. "We killed them with our bare hands."

"do you feel no remorse for killing your own parent?" asked Natsu with glowing red eyes.

"that has nothing to do with you" said Sting as his body started to glow white while Rogue glows black. "time to show the two of you, our power that can kill dragons."

"White Drive" "Shadow Drive" stated Sting and Rogue respectively as they were enveloped in auras.

"end this" stated Jilemma as both Sting and Rogue dash right at Natsu and Gajeel.

Sting swung a fist at Natsu who blocks it with right palm but the force of the punch caused the ground below Natsu to crack and shatter.

'his power increased. Must be some sort of enhancement magic' thought Natsu while blocking a magic imbued punch from Sting before doing the same to another one.

Sting roared as he endlessly sends white glowing punches at Natsu who blocked them, but is slowly getting pushed back.

"Salamander!" Gajeel called out to the Fire Dragon Slayer before Rogue appeared in front of him from the shadows.

"You should keep your eyes to the shadows," said Rogue before he kicks Gajeel's face and made the man skid a few feet back.

"Rggh. Bastard." Gajeel growled as he swung a fist at Rogue, but his attack went through Rogue as if he was mist. "What the hell?!"

"Fool, you can't touch a shadow." Said Rogue before he sends a strike at Gajeel's face who got caught off guard.

The twin dragons continued their vicious assaults as both were pushing back Natsu and Gajeel to one another.

"After a shaky beginning, Sabertooth has quickly gained the upper hand over Fairy Tail! Natsu and Gajeel are now completely on the defensive." Shouted Lola.

"they were doing so well before!" said Charla as she is surprised to the sudden turn of events.

"their magic suddenly increased expansional!" added Lily.

"a magic amplification technique" stated Mavis with a serious face.

"go! They're in a Must-Win pattern, yes!" cheered Lector.

"Fro thinks so too!" said Frosch.

Natsu blocks a punch from Sting before the White Dragon Slayer sends a powerful white beam right below the Fire Dragon Slayer's guard and pushed him back.

"I've always looked up to you, and I aimed to surpass you!" said Sting before he dashes in and struck a fist right at Natsu's open chest. "now is that time!"

Natsu skids back as he was about to move for a counterattack when his body suddenly froze. Looking confused, Natsu looks down and sees a white glowing symbol on a burned hole on his vest.

"Natsu!" shouted out Gray.

"a magic circle? Is that freezing Natsu in his place?" said Erza with a surprised face.

"The White Dragon's Claw is a holy attack! A body marked by its stigmata has its freedom taken away!" exclaimed Sting while going for a second attack. "with this! I'll surpass you!"

As Sting was about to land an attack on Natsu, the man suddenly dodges the attack and sends one of his own right at the blonde Sabertooth mage's face

"gah!?" Sting grunted in pain as he went skidding back a bit with a surprised bruised face. "How?! How can you move?" he exclaimed before he sees that the place where he had placed the Stigmata was steaming and gone. "the Stigmata got burned away?!"

"only the Salamander can do that, I believe" Erza said with a smile.

"what a guy" said Gray as he sees Natsu sends an uppercut right at Sting's chin before following it up with a kick to his gut.

At the battle between Gajeel and Rogue, the Shadow Dragon Slayer lurks in the shadows and gives the Iron Dragon Slayer a hard time to find him.

Gajeel punches at Rogue, but his attack misses again.

"I told you before." Rogue said, appearing behind Gajeel. "You can't harm a shadow." Gajeel turned to look at his opponent but Rogue disappeared and reappeared behind him in an instant. "The Shadow Dragon is a hunter. Never failing to catch his prey!" Rogue then tries to attack Gajeel again but failed as Gajeel reached behind himself, grabbing Rogue's wrist before his attack connected. Gajeel looked at Rogue from the corner of his eye.

"What was that about 'never failing to catch prey?" said Gajeel as Rogue looks surprised before he got an elbow to the chin by the Iron Dragon Slayer. "Don't underestimate Fairy Tail!"

Natsu knees Sting's chin before kicking him hard on the head making him crash to a wall with Gajeel kicking Rogue to the same wall.

"looks like Fairy Tail has made the comeback against Sabertooth!" exclaimed Lola on the mic while the Sabertooth fans went silent in shock.

Sting stood up while having a confident smirk on his face.

"That was a nice one. I wouldn't expect anything less from you" Sting said as he slides his right leg back, squatting slightly as he drew back his right hand and light began to swirl around Sting's arm, the pressure from the energy being felt all around the arena. "we're going all out, I can't afford to hold back! The White Dragon's fist can even turn flames into ashes!."

"Yajima-san! What is this!?" Lola exclaimed on the mic as a bright light was focusing on Sting.

"Sting-kun is focusing his magic into one point" explained Yajima.

"here I go! Natsu-san!" Sting exclaimed as the light flashed brighter "Metsuryu Ougi!"

the light gathered around Sting's fist before the man jumps straight towards Natsu.

"Holy Nova!" Sting's attack causes a very bright explosion as the size of the blast was huge, nearly encompassing the entire fighting area. Everyone watching covered their eyes from both the brightness of Sting's light and the dust and debris that was kicked up.

After a minute, the shaking soon stopped as Sting smiles in believing that his attack took out Natsu but that smile disappears when Natsu appeared out of the smoke, holding a palm against Sting's fist and had blocked the powerful magic attack.

"T-that's impossible!" Lector shouted.

"What?" Frosch muttered.

"He shouldn't be able to do that!" Orga yelled.

"I've never seen nor heard of Sting's Holy Nova being countered before as this is not in my memory at all" Rufus stated in equal shock.

"I see, if I hadn't stop him that time, I wonder how it would've ended" said Minerva with an interested face.

"Yajima-san! This is!" exclaimed Lola to Yajima who merely stayed quiet and continue to watch the battle unfold.

"Gajeel!" Rogue yelled as he tried to attack the Iron Dragon Slayer but was met with a punch to the face by the man.

Natsu and Gajeel sends hellish amounts of attacks at Sting and Rogue as both Twin Dragon Slayers of Sabertooth couldn't even give a counterattack at all.

"without even using his own magic, that man is without a doubt one of Fairy Tail's strongest wizard in history" said Makaro with a small smile as Mavis nodded in agreement.

"I can't believe what I'm seeing here folks!" Lola commentated. "The Twin Dragon Slayers can't lift a finger before Fairy Tail. Will Sabertooth end the day in defeat?!"

Lector and Frosch looked on in shock as they watched Sting and Rogue slowly rise to their feet, their power amplification magic having worn off.

"It won't end…like this." Said Rogue while huffing his breathing as he rose to his feet. "We can't let it."

"Yeah…" added Sting as he got back up. "This isn't…over yet."

"Sting-kun." Uttered Lector while trying to hold back his tears.

"I know, Lector." Said Sting as he got up before his body started pulsing with magic. "I made a promise, and I don't plan on breaking it." Sting's body started to have white scale markings as his hair stood up while he is enveloped in white aura. "I can't lose. For Lector's sake!"

Rogue underwent the same change as Sting, only his aura and scales were black.

"what is that?" said Gajeel with a tense posture.

"they are able to use it by will?" muttered Natsu

"Now…" Minerva grinned. "Show them the true power of the greatest generation."

"Dragon Force?!" said Mavis in surprise.

Natsu sees the amount of power that is rising from Sting and Rogue as he looks at them before sighing.

"so this is what you achieve from killing your parents, huh?" said Natsu while having a disappointed face.

"and what? You feeling afraid?" asked Sting with a mocking tone.

"not afraid" said Natsu as he takes Chitetsu in his grasp before slamming the katana's scabbard's tip to the ground and pierced it while the man sits down in a meditation like pose. "just pure disgust to know what a Dragon Slayer must do to obtain immature strength"

Sting and Rogue looks at Natsu as the man went into a meditation state.

"seems like Natsu is doing something and that is meditating" said Lola in seeing Natsu's actions. "Yajima-san, is he planning to do something?"

"perhaps" replied Yajima.

"Gajeel, you can face them by yourself" said Natsu while meditating. "they are not worth my time"

"don't know since when you got so smug" said Gajeel before he cracked his knuckles and grins at Sting and Rogue. "but I'll do it even if you didn't ask"

"Gajeel" said Rogue before he made a dash and strikes Gajeel with a shadow coated fist. Gajeel grunted before he strikes back but Rogue turns into a shadow to strike back again.

Sting looks at the two fight before he sets his sight on Natsu who meditates.

"I don't know what you're doing on, but I'm taking you down for Lector!" exclaimed Sting as he dashes right towards Natsu with light shining fists.

Sting jumps and is coming down right on Natsu but got intercepted with a swung staff to the gut.

"aggh!" grunted Sting as he crashes back while on his two legs that drags on the ground. Sting looks at what hit him and he sees Enra with Genbu and Seiocho, surrounding Natsu in a triangle like circle.

"seems that we are called to fend off this brat from that woman's guild" said Enra while holding his staff with one hand before he spins it around and leans it against his shoulders. "against members of that woman's guild"

"I personally believe that we had to spend more time investigating that occurrence, rather than doing this event" said Seiocho while wielding her trident with its tip pointed towards Sting.

"we made a vow to aid him in any form" said Genbu as he tapped the bottom of his staff on the ground 3 times before rock pillars rise and surround Natsu, creating a rock barrier. "best we clear this one before we continue our investigation"

"agreed" said Enra before he dashes right towards Sting at high speed and swung his staff at the White Dragon Slayer who blocked with his hands.

Seiocho swung her trident around before she plunged its sharp edge to the ground and then performed several hand signs.

"Ningyo Ninpo: Suiryu Kanketsuisen!" stated Seiocho before steaming hot water geysers erupted from the ground and heads towards Sting who kicks away Enra's staff then proceeds to dodge the water geysers that rises into the air before forming a serpent dragon that roars and dives down towards the White Dragon Slayer.

"Gajeel vs Rogue, and Sting vs the three celestial spirits who are fighting in Natsu's stead! Just what battle that did turned out to be!?" said Lola as everyone was going on the edge with the result of the continuing battle.

"Gajeel is another thing, but Natsu seems to never be interested in long battle" commented Yajima.

"wow! Nice battle, Thank you so much!" exclaimed Rabian.

"I never knew Natsu hated long battles before" said Gray, seeing how Natsu sits in his place while Enra and the others do the fighting for him. "he's not like that before"

"must've been something that had happened during the 7 years we were gone" said Laxus as he watch Sting getting pushed back by Enra and Seiocho while Genbu stands by Natsu's side. "the guy doesn't like fame and titles after all. He might be tired of doing battles after Lingyue and now"

"in another matter" said Erza as she looks at the screen that showed Natsu who is somehow getting enveloped in red aura. "something is rather off with Natsu.

Back to the battlefield, Sting did multiple backflips to dodge high speed staff thrust from Enra before doing a counterattack which was sending a magic imbued kick right at the monkey spirit's unguarded side but that was blocked by Enra's tail.

"boy, you underestimate me" said Enra with a smirk as he swung his two legs up and hits Sting's chin hard before the Monkey King spirit jumps up with his staff over his head and swung it down to Sting's left shoulder.

"gah!" grunted Sting as the power of the strike made him feel some of his shoulder bones cracking from the attack.

Enra kicks Sting by the chest before the Monkey king did several backflips to let Seiocho who holds her trident in hand that is charging a raging twisting water sphere at its tip.

"Southern's Stream!" shouted Seiocho before a powerful blast of water came blasting towards Sting who got engulfed within a wave of raging water.

Gajeel who is in a power struggle against Rogue, saw the coming waves as he used them to his advantage by throwing his opponent to the ocean water stream that swallowed him with the already engulfed up Sting.

"it's like a tsunami just hits the stadium!" exclaimed Lola as the water washed up Sting and Rogue to the wall while Gajeel is standing on a rock pillar conjured up by Genbu. "the Twin Dragon Slayer's Dragon Force aren't giving a show at all!"

"this match was already one sided as it had started" said Yajima.

"more like one manned only" said Lily in seeing how Enra with Seiocho now went on the attack against Sting and Rogue before Gajeel joined in to fight the two. "Gajeel and those two are doing all the fighting"

"seems like Natsu doesn't need to bother showing them his magic and true strength, huh?" stated Charla while having her arms crossed.

"it's more like he can't" stated Mavis as her words got everyone's attention. "I've just sense Natsu and I feel no magic coming from within his body"

"no magic? What do you mean? He was using his flames before" said Romeo, thinking that Natsu unleashing the previous flame attacks are from his magic.

"not at all, those flames are somehow conjured with no magic" said Makarov while scratching his chin. "it's as if they were conjured up from within his own body"

"so it's like he's only using his Chi, huh?" said Levy while in a thinking pose. "Natsu with Ikaruga are from Lingyue and the people there mainly use Chi and not magic"

"a continent that never uses magic?" "ain't that a shocker" said Macao and Wakaba in unison before the two looks at each other in surprise.

"why isn't he using his magic?" asked Cana while thinking of the reason.

"is it because he used it up?" thought Lisanna out loud.

"perhaps it is because the Celestial spirits he has summoned" said Mavis as everyone looks at her again. "from what I have known in my life is that Magic and Chi have the same fundamental comprehension of understanding. Magic is something that we mage create within the magic container of our bodies by absorbing the Ethernano particles within the land and air, while Chi is something that is created upon the moment of birth, it flows within our body like blood but its purpose is not guaranteed use like magic"

"what does she mean not guaranteed use?" asked Romeo as some looks extremely confused.

"she means that if we want to use Chi in our body, we have to open it within our bodies" said Levy as Mavis nodded.

"I've heard that the only way to open the channel of chi within our bodies is to open them by hand" stated Mavis.

"by hand?" thought Romeo, Macao, Wakaba, Jet, Droy, Warren, Max, Nab, and Vijeeter as they thought of opening their body by hand.

"she meant the hand signs that Natsu did before," said Cana, breaking their imagination bubble.

"they say that the human hands are like keys that open the 12 channels of chi within the body" said Mavis as she did a hand sign for an example. "by performing 12 specific hand signs in specific orders, one can open the channel of chi in their body and create amazing magical like techniques"

"but what does that got to do with Natsu not using magic in this battle?" asked Macao as he with Wakaba looks at Natsu who is just meditating on a stone pedestal that is floating in the air thanks to Genbu.

"yeah, he's only using his chi attack by far" added Wakaba

"just like how we expel the gathered Eternano particles within our magic by our will, the same principles go with chi" explained Mavis as she thought up of an imagination bubble that showed two silhouettes of a man, one having a heart shaped magic container while the other having glowing blue root like marks that are all over his body. Mavis appeared as she pointed at the magic container. "magic gets absorb and stored within the magic container" Mavis then pointed at the other silhouette man with the glowing root marks all over his body. "while Chi is something that needs time to regenerate within the body. Meaning that if anyone uses both magic and Chi needs to focus only on one specific use of the two"

"that means that Natsu is entirely focused on using chi, blocks him from using his magic" said Makarov as Mavis nodded.

"then he just needs to unfocus on chi and focus on magic" said Lisanna in a simple voice.

"if it were that simple" stated Ikaruga as this got some attention to her. Ikaruga carried Ikki who is inverse with watching the screen that showed his father. "one needs more than a simple choice in switching use of magic and Chi. Even for masters of chi in Lingyue like myself and Natsu-han, it takes hard undisturbed concentration to change use of Chi with magic"

"Wait a minute" said Lily before he looks at Natsu meditating. "hard concentration? As in meditation?"

"yes" said Ikaruga with a nod before looking at the screen that showed her husband. "he needs pure utmost concentration to change use of his chi to magic"

Enra jumps in the air before he came down on Sting with his staff that the White Dragon Slayer blocked with both hands. Sting grunted before he looks at Natsu who is just meditating.

"who I want to beat isn't you, monkey!" shouted Sting as he pushes Enra's staff away and kicks the monkey spirit's head before he jumps high into the air while taking a deep breath. "who I want to beat is Natsu-san only!"

"Hakuryu no Holy Breath!" Sting shot a powerful version of his breath attack right towards Natsu who got surrounded in ten layers of stone pillars conjured by Genbu as the breath attack collided with the stone defense wall.

A powerful bright explosion occurred as the entire Domus Flau arena shakes hard, everyone shielded their eyes from such a bright flash as it took a minute to die down and reveal a large hole upon the field.

"his breath attack destroyed the floor?!" exclaimed Erza in surprise.

"look!" shouted Gray as he pointed down to the large hole where Gajeel with Rogue falls in, the two still fighting even if falling while Natsu is surrounded in the remains of the stone pillars with Genbu protecting the front with his back shell that is steaming.

"Genbu took on that whole attack and is alright!" said Charla in surprise.

"that is a very strong shell, he has!" stated Lily as he is impressed with the turtle hermit's shell defense power.

"my my" said Genbu as he turns to look at Sting who landed a few feet away from him and Natsu before the White Dragon Slayer got surrounded by Enra and Seiocho. "this young man shows bright potential, he might be chosen by Taka in the coming future"

"if he shows compassion that is" said Natsu in the stone pillars as Genbu turns and sees that the rock pillars are slowly crumbling down and revealing Natsu who is still in his meditation pose. The man slowly opens his eyes as they glowed red. "that is far enough, Genbu. I shall do the rest"

"yes" replied Genbu while scratching his beard before glancing at Sting. "that boy and the other one shows a very unique aura that is connecting with yours. I can predict that his strength will be needed in time".

"I'll make note of that" said Natsu as he stands up and cracked his neck side to side before looking at Sting. "if he survives against my might that is"

"Eiryu no Hoko!" Rouge's voice is heard before the ground that Natsu and the others were standing on, got destroyed by a powerful shadow-filled roar from below and from Rogue who is facing Gajeel at the bottom of the hole.

Natsu and the others fell as they are arriving at the level area of where Gajeel and Rogue are brawling at.

"we shall be leaving the rest to you" said Genbu as he, Enra, and Seiocho disappeared back to the Celestial Spirit world.

"yeah" replied Natsu before he saw Sting concentrating magic into the palm of his hands that he swung forward.

"Holy Ray!" Sting unleashes streams of light that became multiple beaming rays that came right at Natsu in all direction.

Natsu lifted his right hand up and it ignites in pure red flames that he swung forward and disintegrated the magic attack. The two soon landed upon the very bottom floor of the stadium's inner catacombs where they meet up with Gajeel and Rogue, the two who got by their teammate side.

"how do they fare against you?" asked Natsu to Gajeel while fiddling around with his artificial left arm.

"they may be rookies, but they got lots of spunk to back in their strength" said Gajeel before spitting out some spit to the ground while brushing off any dirt on his cheeks with his right knuckle. "that Shadow guy ain't half bad"

"I see" said Natsu as he takes off his artificial left arm and gives it to Gajeel to hold. "I'll handle them now"

"huh? You told me to take care of them by myself" said Gajeel before Natsu throws Chitetsu in his grasp and the Iron Dragon Slayer got a powerful zap with his magic getting drained. "aaggghh!"

"you can, but it'll take too long" said Natsu as Gajeel drops Chitetsu and Natsu's artificial arm before he staggers a few feet back and fell in a nearby mine cart which soon rolls away and takes him down to a mining tunnel. "I can finish this quickly"

"what are you doing?" said Sting with a serious face.

"Gajeel.." muttered Rogue, only setting his eyes on the Iron Dragon Slayer who is gone.

"come" said Natsu as flames ignites from his left side and formed a flaming arm that made a 'come on' flaming sign at Sting and Rogue. "I shall show you what a true Dragon Slayer's power looks like"


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
