Hey, fairy tail fans, and welcome back to the next chapter of a fairy tail re-told. There's nothing to report today other than the typical stuff that I'm sure you've heard a million times. I don't own anything; leave a comment and blah blah blah. I mean, I bet you guys are sick of those, so here's a little break from all the thank you's and junk and a random intro. So have a nice day and enjoy the story.
Last time on a fairy tail re-told
Lucy: once I would like to have a normal job, just once
Cobra: I can hear you
Natsu: and the bad guys have Nirvana.
Lucy: and to make it worse, I and fire breathe are dressed like some cheesy couple.
Cobra: I can still hear you
[##Oracion seis theme ost##]
Nirvana continued its march on the ground. Natsu got ready to face off against Cobra, who was the only thing standing between him and Brain "hey, look," Happy called out as he pointed to Brain, who had placed a new magic circle to control Nirvana. "I thought we destroyed that thing."
"does it matter," Natsu told his friend, "once we take out the guy with tatts, it'll all be over?"
"You make it sound easy," Cobra teased; he was ready for a fight. He's heard tales of the Salamander's power, and seeing him in person was a dream come true "not like I'm going to let that happen," Cobra told the dragon slayer.
"I wouldn't underestimate us," Natsu told the man, "it's normally all my opponent's last mistake."
'Cobra handle those fools, ' Cobra heard Brain say Cobra let on a smile "with pleasure boss," Cobra said as Cubellios let out a hiss. "Cubellios could use a snack right now," Cobra laughed.
"Swallow me, and you'll get a nasty hairball," Happy said
"and a wicked case of heartburn," Natsu finished.
Natsu vs. Cobra: Ariel battle
[##Destruction of the Evil Wind ost##]
"Go Cubellios," Cobra shouted as the giant snake launched at Natsu and Happy. The duo jumped out of the way.
"launch an attack now, Natsu."
"{Fire dragon: brilliant flame}" Natsu shouted as Cobra dodged "damn it," Natsu shouted as Happy flew back. "I'm just getting warmed up, though," as Natsu released multiple brilliant flames, all of which Cobra dodged.
"you didn't even hit him once," Happy told him, "so much for getting warmed up."
before Natsu could respond, Cobra appeared from the smoke and knocked them back with Cubellios' tail. "I told you before, I know your moves before you make them," Cobra told him.
"Yeah, yeah," Natsu told him, "supersonic hearing isn't going to help you," Natsu shouted; he tried to punch Cobra only to be knocked back again.
"You okay," Happy asked before a tail knocked the pair to the ground as the pair fell. Happy manded to pull them up at the last second, creating a gust of wind as they flew off.
"Nice save, buddy," Natsu told him.
"where'd he go," Happy asked as if, on cue, Cobra appeared behind the due as Cubellios attempted to bite them both. Happy swung out the way and continued to fly off.
"run all you want," Cobra shouted "it just makes hunting you weaklings all the more fun," Cobra said as they ran off.
"he must be one lonely dude," Happy whispered as he and Natsu stopped in a building "ladies don't usually go for the cocky type."
"We need to find a way to stop this guy," Natsu said. "I got we could try sneak attacks" Cobra then popped out of the building as Happy dodged again "damn it," Natsu shouted as they flew back into the sky
"first off," Cobra said, "I am cocky but, I'm not a lonely dude ya blue fleabag" sometimes, hearing everything was sorta a curse when hearing insults, and Cobra couldn't place it, but that one stung a little more than the rest, especially since it was from a cat with wings
meanwhile, Gray and Lucy had just made their way into Nirvana and were shocked at what they saw, "so what are we looking at."
"besides scary ruins on the back of a monster," Lucy commented. "I got no clue."
"I thought Nirvana was powerful magic," Gray said, "not a bunch of broken-down buildings.
"an excellent question," a voice called out. Lucy and Gray turned to see Hoteye and Jura standing behind them, smiling, "for you see, this is the mystical city of Nirvana," oh yeah, Hoteye told them, giving off a smile.
"and seeing you here puts the odds in our favor," Jura said
"that's the guy from Lyons guild," Gray said
"and that's a member of the Oracion seis," Lucy cried in terror as she backed up behind Gray.
'NO need to worry," Jura told them. "Hoteye here is now our faithful ally," Jura told him as Hoteye went sprouting about love, which got a reaction out of Lucy and Gray.
"wasn't this the guy who shouted money this and money that" Lucy whispered
"yeah, baldy must have beaten some sense into him," Gray said
"We were about to duke it out when he had a change of heart," Jura told them, which made Lucy and Gray realize what had happened to the oracion seis member.
"I see," Gray said "we went through the same thing with Sherry," Gray told them "the only thing is it was a turn for the worst," Gray said as he remembered how Sherry went on a rampage, nearly killing him and his friends cause she thought Lyon had died.
"lady love went psycho on us there for a bit," Lucy told him.
"what," Jura asked in concern, "is she all right."
"Relax," Gray told him, "she's fine now, Lyons got her, and he's taking her to safety," Gray told the wizard saint.
"Oh," Jura said, "well, I'm glad she's alright."
"but as I was saying," Hoteye continued, "this place was once the home of the Nirvits," Hoteye said as he looked around "this is where they once lived and prospered," Hoteye told the three wizards, which surprised them, to say the least.
"can't say I ever heard of the Nirvits," Lucy said
"I'm not surprised," Hoteye said "their entire exitance was wiped from history," Hoteye told the blond, "they were around about 400 years ago when the world was engulfed in war " letting out a sigh, Hoteye continued with his story " the Nirvits wanted to remain neutral throughout the conflict, but all the bloodshed compiled them to act," Hoteye told them.
"and let me guess," Gray said, "they created Nirvana," he asked 'what's with ancient people and creating weapons of mass destruction? he said to himself, 'didn't they ever get tired of the doomsday thing' he said
"Right you are," oh yeah, Hoteye said " a weapon cable of switching light and dark," Hoteye said "they were so confident in their creation, they named it after their homeland," Hoteye said
"so these ruins," Lucy asked.
"are actually Nirvana itself," Gray finished, "talk about Irony," he said, which got a confused look from Lucy. "Nirvana was made in the hopes that it would bring peace' Gray told the celestial wizard "now, all it's going to do is bring destruction," Gray said somberly.
"I'm all for peace," Lucy said, "but why couldn't they just make Nirvana turn darkness into light."
"I doubt the ancients knew people would ever use their creation for evil," Jura told them "dark mages can find evil in even the purest forms of magic," Jura said as he looked towards the sky, hoping that there was a way to destroy this monstrosity once and for all.
"in any case," Hoteye said, "now that it's been activated, Nirvana poses a clear threat," Hoteye said "we need to find a way to stop it now" on the tower, Brain fashed a switch which turned on the torches around the group look as there was no light near the central tower "I'm guessing that's Brain, oh yeah," Hoteye said, "he's most likely at the central tower, and while doing so he is unable to use any other magic, it's the perfect time to strike."
"If he's driving this thing," Gray asked, "is taking it anywhere specific," the boy asked, to which Hoteye nodded.
"I'm sure of it," Hoteye said "unfortunately, he didn't share anything in imparticular with the rest of us," Hoteye told them sadly as much as he wanted to know at the time, he was a different person only concerned about himself.
"not true," a voice called out. The group turned to see Midnight standing above "my master didn't trust the rest of you," Midnight said as he then appeared behind Hoteye "you betrayed us," he said. "I didn't think you have the guts," he said
"I didn't betray anything," Hotye responded. "I just came to realize the error of Brain's ways."
"what was that," Midnight said "care to saw that to face," he said
"isn't the guy that's always napping," Lucy said," and is Brain his master or something."
"Yeah," Gray said as Hoteye stood in front of them.
"I say he is misguided," Hoteye said, "because he believes magic can truly change a person's heart," Hoteye told him "only love has the power truly change a person, oh yeah" Midnight didn't flinch; he barely move as large blast affects the group soon a large cloud of smoke erupted from the ground.
"what just happened," Gray asked as he stood up.
"Hoteye liquefied the ground beneath us so we wouldn't be hit," Jura told them "it happened so fast I could even see it."
"We don't have time to waste," Hoteye told them, "go and stop, Brain; it's your only chance at stopping Nirvana," Hoteye said as the group climbed out of the pothole. "I'll hold of Midnight for as long as I can."
"thank hoteye," Jura said
"Please," Hoteye said, smiling, "I'm no longer in need of a code name; call me Richard," Hoteye said, smiling.
[##relesed power##]
"we're not supposed to reveal our real names to the enemy," Midnight said "that's a new low, even for you. oh yeah," Midnight said as he lit his magic energy surrounding him
"I have no more need for a code name," Hoteye said, "now that I've opened my heart to loves warm embrace" as Richard launched another attack at his former comrade, he also got ready for the fight ahead.
Meanwhile, Natsu and Cobra were still fighting, and Natsu still couldn't land a single blow on the snake wizard "damn it," Natsu shouted, "you got some skills I'll give you that" Natsu shouted, "why don't you stop running and fight like a man."
"nice tough guy act," Cobra said "let me hold still so you can hit me," Cobra said "besides, I know your moves before you make them"
"It must be his magic," Happy reasoned.
"no," Cobra told him. "I just listen."
"some psychic," Natsu asked.
"if that's true," Happy said, "what am I thinking right now."
Cobra smiled. "I don't need extra hearing to know you got fish on the brain."
"oh my goodness," Happy said in shock as Natsu deadpanned "he is psychic, Natsu," he shouted in extreme excitement. "I was thinking about fish right now"
"I could've told you that," Natsu muttered as he and Cobra started at each other soon; Cobra burst out laughing as Natsu smiled.
"I've never heard that one before," Cobra said, trying to catch his breath "that was pretty funny," he told Natsu as he wiped a tear from his face.
"I know, right," Natsu said, "it slay's," he said. Now he knew for sure this guy had some psychic ability because he didn't even mean to think that joke, but it was still funny.
"what you tell him," Happy asked. "I want in on the Joke."
"I'll tell you when you're older," Natsu told his friend only to get a sigh of disappointment from the cat "we need to put the brake son this guy," Natsu said 'but how if he knows what I'm going to do before I do it" Natsu than came up with an idea.
"Your planning on attacking with your right hand," Cobra said, getting the dragonslayer's attention "while thinking of attacking with your left," Cobra said, smirking. "Trust me; you're not the first to come up with that strategy."
"damn it," Natsu said, "then time I went plan T," Natsu shouted as Happy charged in "take em by storm," the duo shouted as Cobra smiled.
"left hook," Cobra called out, "kick," he kept dodging as he named every move Natsu did. "As I told your friend earlier," Cobra said, "I can hear every muscle," Cobra said as he dodged another one of Natsu's attacks. He felt a little fire. Then something hit him before he knew Natsu had punched him three times 'what' Cobra said in shock? 'I can't hear him," Cobra said, impressed as Natsu kicked him off Cubellios.
"I don't believe it," Cobra said as he fixed his Jaw "no one ever got that many hits on me," Cobra said "he then tried again but still couldn't hear Natsu. "I guess I should say sorry, you told me not to underestimate you" he then caught Natsu's next attack as the fire spread around him; scales then grew on his body as Natsu felt a sting in his hand as Cobra grew fangs. Fire and poison could be seen in the sky as the two were blasted back "now, fire dragon," Cobra said, smiling," let us see how you do against the poison drakon."
"no way," Happy said
[##relesed power ost##]
"so you're a dragon slayer," Natsu asked "no wonder you rubbed me the wrong way," Natsu said as the fire started to form around his body. Cobra did the same as the two got ready for the real fight to start.
"You could say that," Cobra said. "I knew about you from the moment I heard about you in a pub a few years back," Cobra said "time to die, Salamander" as Cobra and Natsu charged each other, blasts of fire and poison flashed in the sky as each hit harmed Natsu Cobra seemed unfazed by Natsu's fire.
"ouch," Natsu said, "it's like my body starting to turn numb."
"your pain is music to my ears," Cobra said, "one hit from a poison drakon, and you start to decompose into mush."
"you wish," Natsu told him, "fire trumps poison any day."
"let's test that theory shall we" Cobra asked
"{Fire dragon: Iron fist}."
"fester in full {Poison drakon: fang crush}
their attacks collided with extreme power that caused an explosion as both were blown back by the power the other Happy let go of Natsu at the moment "oh no," Happy cried; he looked down to see Natsu suffering from his motion sickness already "really, you just landed" Happy said as he picked up Natsu "I'm sorry about dropping you, you okay."
"I'm fine little buddy," Natsu said
"what's the matter? Too much for ya," Cobra said as he flew back in the air. Natsu attempted to hit him again, only for the man to dodge his attack "man, head full of nothing, " Cobra teased, which made Natsu even angrier.
"what's wrong," happy asked, "you were hitting left and right a minute ago," Happy told his friend, "you should try not thinking again; that seemed to work," Happy told his friend, "you used to be good at that anyway."
"what does that mean" Natsu shouted, "you're not helping."
"All I was saying is that you normally go with your gut," Happy told Natsu "not once have ever thought about what you were going to do; you just did it cause that was who you are," Happy said as the two continued arguing Cobra looked at Cubellios and smiled.
"fine then," Natsu shouted, "{Fire dragon: talon}."
"{Poison drakon: spiral charge}" Cobra shouted as his attack overpowered Natsu, sending him into one of the lamps, causing a big explosion that caught Lucy and Gray's attention.
"an over the top explosion," Gray asked, "only one guy I now could do that."
"Natsu sure does make it easy to find him," Lucy laughed.
As Cobra stared in shock, "no way, he survived that," as soon he heard slurping, he looked in shock as he saw Natsu emerge from the flames. "I forgot," Cobra said as Natsu scarfed down at the fire. "It looks like we're about to have a real fight on our hands, Cubellios."
"Aww yeah," Natsu said as he wiped his mouth "now I got a fire in my belly," Natsu called out as he smiled at Cobra.
"gotta say," Cobra mussed. "I've never seen anything like that before," he said, "and since you've had your final meal, what do you say we start the real fight."
Natsu and Cobra clashed as Natsu flew around. Happy called out that they had missed where Natsu smiled "what's the matter, snake eyes? Are we too fast for ya," Natsu called to Cobra?
"Why don't you quit running and say that to my face" Cobra shouted as the two flew off "{poision dragon: scales}" Cobra fired miniature scales at the dragon slayer as he jumped back kicking him in the face as he jumped back as Happy grabbed him again
"hold on," Happy called out, "{max speed} Happy flew around all the scales and brought Natsu in for a close-range attack knowing what he was about to Cobra tried to dodge, but Natsu was able to land his hit "did ya hear that," Happy asked as Natsu then tried to punch, and Cobra caught the fist again.
"This seems familiar," Coba said
"I can't miss at close range," Natsu called as he charged up his fire dragon's roar; however, Cobra punched Natsu back, sending the pair flying down.
"damn it," Natsu called out, "was sure that would work."
'I still can't hear him,' Cobra said to himself "all this fighting is starting to work up my appetite, Cubellios" the snake beneath him shot out a poison cloud as Cobra began to inhale all the poison around him.
"he's scarfing it down," Happy said
"Yeah, well, maybe he'll choke on it," Natsu said as Cobra finished.
"now I got a fire in my belly too, tasty," Cobra said
"Hey, that's my line."
"I got a gift for you too," Cobra called out.
"no, thank you," Happy told him as Cobra charged up his breath attack.
"{Poison drakon: breath}" Cobra let out a massive breath attack that flung Natsu and Happy to the ground, infecting their body with all kinds of poison.
"is that all you got," Natsu said as he stood up. Bags had appeared under his eyes; Happy was starting to lose it from all the poison behind them. "Happy, we're losing altitude, buddy."
"I know," Happy said, "but I can barely flap my wings."
"how do you like my poison drakon breath" Cobra bragged "right now, it's flooding your body with viruses; each passing second brings you closer to death," Cobra laughed "continuing this fight is pointless" Cobra was shocked When Natsu bursted flames
"Oh shut up," he cried out as his fire formed wings "what do you say we put the breaks on this guy for good Happy" Natsu called out to his flying companion.
"Aye, sir."
"these punks must have one heck of a death wish," Cobra said as Natsu charged him again to clash and were back up, neither wanting to back down.
"what's the matter getting tired," Cobra asked. "I wouldn't be surprised," Cobra said," I wouldn't be surprised my magic outpaces you in every way."
"what," Natsu asked, curious about what type of dragon slayer magic he was dealing with
"While it's true," Cobra started, "I am using a form of dragon slayer magic, but mine is a bit different. It's referred to as Drakon slayer magic," he said, an evil grin on his face. He glared at Natsu "these monsters are said to be older than dragons themselves.
"just like Laxus," Natsu said, "your nothing but a fake dragon slayer," Natsu told him "there's no way you can beat the real thing."
"call me names all you want," Cobra said, "but your the one who's about to die."
"then answer me this how did you learn about this magic," Natsu asked, "because I thought the only way to learn dragon magic was from a dragon."
"true," Cobra told him, "but the ancients found a way to create and mimic the power of dragon giving the name of drakon, in honor of the rumored ancestors of dragons due to how more powerful we can become" Cobra looked at himself over "we have all the power and none of the drawbacks of dragon slayer magic, not even you're pathetic dragon wouldn't be able to stop me."
"Leave Igneel out of this," Natsu told him. "I'm the real deal."
"so what," Cobra said, "for all you know, you're like me," Coba said. "I mean, aren't the only to have seen your precious dragon."
"shut up," Natsu shouted at him. "Igneel is real," as he charged Cobra, who dodged by letting out a devastating attack sending the two back. "I can't move," Natsu said
"I can hear it," Cobra said, smiling "the poison runs its course, soon you'll rot away just like your dragon," Cobra said
"No," Natsu said
"I don't think we can take another hit like that," Happy told him.
"I have a plan," Natsu told him.
Cobra smiled as he listened on, "this won't be too hard," Cobra said to himself, "since he's thinking again."
"are you crazy," Happy said
"just do it," Natsu shouted at his friend, who then dropped him. Natsu fell straight down 'all I have is one shot if I miss, it's over," he thought of Mira and Elfman, his team, his family he was all that, stood in this guy's way he was the only one who stood a chance at beating him 'I need to put a stop to this guy here and now.'
Cobra smiled "a widespread attack," Cobra said"an interesting idea, but you forgot one thing," Cobra said as he jumped up "you can't get behind you," he shouted as he gripped Natsu's skull "now I'll slam you into the dirt, and end it all, tell your dragon I said hi when going to the other side."
"No," Natsu let out a scream which shocked Cobra; he hadn't heard anything like this before, and it was getting louder then Cobra realized it wa Natsu 'what is this' Cobra shouted as eardrums exploded from the noise
elsewhere Gray, Jura, and Lucy also heard the roar "what is that" Gray asked "it almost sounds inhuman," he said, scarred at what this meant
"Please don't let it be a monster."
Natsu's roar echoed all over Nirvana as everyone looked on, wondering what could be making the noise "my ears!" Cobra shouted in pain as he fell to the ground. Happy rushed in and caught Natsu before he could fall.
"wow," Happy said, "you got a set of pipes on you.
"Umm yeah," Natsu said, having no idea what he did, deciding not to question it. "I totally planned on busting out his eardrums sure fooled him," Natsu told his best friend. "I rule."
"It was dumb luck, and you know it."
above them, Brain frowned "interesting," Brain said, "he bested Cobra by using his best strength against him" Brain smiled, "it appears I underestimated the power of Salamander, greatly."
To be continued
that was one heck of a chapter to write; I'll see if I can get the next one out tomorrow, but I make no promises if anything, I'll try to have two chapters out by the end of Saturday, at the latest Monday, and by Wednesday I plan to finish the Nirvana arc as a whole, but that's saying if nothing will have to find out
