On with the story
Natsu and Zancrow were now in a battle in Magnolia as they send flames at each other
The two got into a close combat battle before Natsu punches Zancrow's cheeks hard and then hammers him down
Zancrow's head crashed through the ground before Natsu slams his feet down, sending the God Slayer straight down
Natsu ignites his fists in flames before they rage wildly
"Karyu no" Natsu lifts his fists up as the flames rages into a flaming sphere that Natsu soon throws down "Koen!"
The flaming sphere exploded upon Zancrow as the power of the attack was devastating that it caused an earthquake that shook the town
Natsu stood in his place as he stared down on Zancrow who was laying flat on the ground, pieces of pebbles and dirt covering him
he continued to stare at his downed opponent, the flames in his right fist still burning fiercely. Zancrow was not moving an inch.
Erza and the others came and saw the scene
"he did it!" Mira said grinning, thinking that Natsu had won only to be wronged
Suddenly, Zancrow gasped and started to laugh, before raising his legs behind his head and jumping straight back to his feet, his face completely covered in his own blood.
"hahahahaha! That was good~! You're strong~!" Zancrow laughed out as Erza and the others were bewildered of the man's strength to be able to still stand
"is this even possible? He just withstood such a devastating attack from Natsu" Kagura said bewildered
"this must be the work of his magic." Ultear stated "his fire magic prevents any burn damage on him"
"does this mean that they cannot harm each other?" Ikaruga said
"you! You got some power!" Zancrow exclaimed at Natsu who just stared back at the madman "I thought I knew that I've seen someone like you before, and that attack of yours just reminded me!"
"what is he talking about?" Mira said
"you!" Zancrow pointed a finger at Natsu while having a crazy grin "you're his little brother, aren't you!? Dragneel!?"
"he knows Natsu? How?" Erza muttered out
"hahaha! Who knew that I got the one in a lifetime chance to meet you personally! Heck I got to fight you and got our first match in a draw!" Zancrow said with a laugh "the Bloody Salamander!"
"Bloody Salamander? Who is he talking about?" Kagura stated
"looks like your friends there doesn't know whose nickname is it?" Zancrow said while raising an eyebrow "then let me have the honour in doing s-"
Before he could finish, Natsu dashed forward and punched him straight in the jaw, before following up with a left uppercut to the gut. He then grabbed Zancrow by the hair and pulled his head down onto his incoming knee, hitting him straight in the nose. Zancrow's head flew upwards, before Natsu threw a right hook to his open jaw.
Natsu then slams his hand at Zancrow's face and sends him crashing straight to the ground again
"don't ever" Natsu said, his voice turning demonic and his eyes turning reptilian and black "call me by that name again!"
"hahahahaha!" Zancrow laughed while having a crazy grin against Natsu "looks like I pushed a button!"
Zancrow slams his hand on the ground as black flames burst around him, causing Natsu to jump away
"Bloody Salamander…also known as the Death Salamander" Zancrow said as he got back up "it's the nickname of the man who annihilated and slaughtered the Dark Organizations in Crocus, Orvan, and Charles kingdom! And not only the goons of the dark organizations but the nearby civilians as well!"
Zancrow then points a finger at Natsu who glared at him hard
"and that man..is you!" Zancrow laughed as Erza and the others looks at him then to Natsu
"Natsu….is it true? You murdered people before?" Erza muttered out as Natsu glanced at them before at Zancrow
"yes" Natsu replied as their eyes widen in surprise
"so you never told them, huh? Not that I can blame you, that incident was covered up with some terrorist attack or something" Zancrow said "they find blood and dead bodies mutilated everywhere, it was like some butcher went on a killing spree!"
Natsu instantly burst into flames as his hands turned into dragon claws
"shut up" Natsu said as red scales started to spread around his neck to his cheeks "or I'll make you"
To his response, Zancrow merely grins before he burst into black flames
"try me, little lizard" Zancrow said "I'm a GOD!"
At the hospital
"so you're telling me that Natsu woke up and he went out to beat the psycho?" Cana said to Éclair who nodded "great, I think I'm losing it"
"why didn't you stop him? He's still hurt, remember?" Lucy said "you can't just let him fight a battle that he once lost!"
"I know, but he promised" Éclair replied "he promised that he'll be back safe"
"just because of that?" Kamika said "just because he said so, doesn't mean that he'll come back safe"
"he promised" Éclair replied "and he has never broken a promise, have he?"
"true" Irene said before they soon heard explosions as they look at the town and sees flames raging everywhere, then a powerful explosion blew out "but I don't think he'll be able to keep it"
Kagura and the others were backed away from the battle as everything was destroyed in a 1km radius
Flames were everywhere as the battle between the Dragon Slayer and the God Slayer was immense
Natsu was huffing his breathing while getting up from a pile of rubble with some blood covering his face and neck
Zancrow stood in his place as he laughs at Natsu's state
"Are you finally realising the situation you are in, Salamander?" Zancrow exclaimed. "Did you really think a dragon could defeat a God? in ancient times, Dragons were the most powerful being that walked the earth. But only on the earth! Gods are the most powerful being to have ever existed! They're immortal! Invincible! And most of all powerful! You're just a Dragon! A Dragon's flames can never stand up against a God's!"
Natsu looks at Zancrow before spitting out some blood
"gods are immortal?" Demonic Natsu said as he appeared beside Natsu "what a joke"
Natsu got up as he cracks his neck and his left eye turned pure black while his right eye turned reptilian red
"so, you're still up for a fight. Got to hand it to you, you're the only one who can still fight against me this long and wants a second round" Zancrow said grinning "but you don't have a chance in winning!"
"it's true, I can't win" Natsu said as the flames around the area died down "a Dragon could never defeat a God"
"ho? So you're admitting defeat, huh? Surrendering?" Zancrow said cackling
"a Dragon could never defeat a God" Natsu said before he had a sinister grin on, with black markings spreading all around his body and to his face "but what about a DEMON!?"
Black flames rages around Natsu's body as his form turned demonic
"d-demon!?" Zancrow stated in shock as Natsu's hands turns into jet black sharp claws, black horns grew out the side of his head, and black demonic wings spreads out on his back before he let out a demonic roar
"in ancient times, there was a cycle" Natsu spoke out in a dark and deep voice as the black flames died down before forming black demonic armor on his body "in that cycle, there was those who are strong against others while weak against others"
The black flames rages around Natsu's hands and formed a long black scythe that has the blade, blazing in black flames
"God can defeat Dragons, but God are weak…" Natsu said as the black flames blazes around his head before forming a black demon helmet "..to Demons!"
The black flames spreads out as Natsu now wore the demon armor while wielding his scythe
"that armor…was from that time" Erza said as the armor appeared once Natsu went on a berserk because of Kyria
"it feels demonic…but at the same time it's not" Kagura stated in
Natsu squatted down as he laid a hand on the ground before he disappeared
"he vanished?!" Ultear stated in reply
"where!?" Zancrow exclaimed in surprise before Natsu appeared in front of him "what!?"
Natsu grabs the man's face before punching his gut hard and then kicks him down to the ground
"gah!?" Zancrow gasped out in pain before Natsu swings his fist right at his gut, sending him deeper into the ground even more
Natsu swings his right leg back before kicking Zancrow straight to the sky
"where do you think you're going!?" Natsu exclaimed in a cackle as he dashed towards Zancrow, chasing him in the sky before sending him straight to the ground with a punch to the gut
Natsu soon unleashed an assault of punches straight at Zancrow's face and body, leaving many red bruises on the madman's body
Before long, Natsu kicks Zancrow's gut hard and then grabs his hair, kneeing his chin in the next second
Natsu started laughing as he beats the living out of Zancrow
A minute of ruthless assault later, Zancrow was out of conscious and was bleeding from his mouth
Natsu grabs his scythe and swings it to the side before lifting it up
"see ya" Natsu said as he grips his scythe hard "in hell!"
Natsu soon swings his scythe, right at Zancrow's neck, intending to kill him to finish him off but he wasn't able to
"Natsu!" Erza and the others shouted out as the scythe's blade was near inches away from Zancrow's neck
Natsu took a glance to the girls and saw fear in their eyes
"that's enough! He's down! You don't need to kill him!" Ultear exclaimed
"just stop! This isn't you!" Mira exclaimed
Natsu looks at them then to Zancrow who was twitching in indication to being alive
"that's enough, Natsu. You won, you don't need to kill him. You're not like him!" Erza stated as Natsu looks at her before to Zancrow while pulling away his scythe
"just come to us, you don't need to do anything else" Ikaruga said calmly as Natsu started walking away from Zancrow, his demon armor turning into ashes
"that's it, just come back to us and let's go home" Erza said as Natsu slowly walks to them
As Natsu walks back to the girls, Zancrow sat up while in pain
His right hand reached out at Natsu as black flames charges up in it
"die! Dragon!" Zancrow shouted as he fired the black flaming sphere at Natsu who turns and saw the attack coming at him, near inches away from him
But before the attack could hit him, Irene suddenly appeared with a hand reached out and a red barrier that blocked the attack
"M-Mother?!" Erza stated in surprise
Irene snaps her fingers as vine roots sprang out of the ground and wraps around Zancrow, binding him down
"you think vines can hold me down!?" Zancrow shouted before he saw Irene's hand glowing yellow and a bolt of lightning strikes down on the God Slayer "Gaaaahh!"
Zancrow soon passed out as the lightning bolt toasted him
"a God shouldn't be so highly" Irene said, her eyes glowing a bit red
Natsu looks at her before to Zancrow, the man knocked out for a while
"who knew that she could change, huh?" Demonic Natsu asked while appearing beside Natsu who shrugs his shoulders
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
