On with the story

Natsu stood face to face with Rustyrose as the man's golden wings spreads out before folding in

"Natsu Dragneel?" Rustyrose said before realizing on who Natsu is "I see, so you're the one who had defeated Zancrow in Magnolia and imprisoned him in the first place"

"and? What is your point?" Natsu asked with a raised eyebrow

"it will be a great service for my leader that we get rid of those who can pose a threat to us" Rustyrose said with a grin "come forth! Balcacus!"

Balcacus appeared behind Rustyrose as the giant beast roars out at Natsu

"ho? A summoning beast.. interesting" Natsu said amused

"go! Balcacus! Strike down those who dare go against me!" Rustyrose exclaimed as Balcacus roared before charging at Natsu

"come now, leaving your pet to do your work?" Natsu asked as Balcacus swings its large fist at the fire mage who ducked in dodging before taking a step back, dodging another fist "do you have no sense of delicacy?"

"silence! I fight for the great world! You worthless trash should not have such tone against me!" Rustyrose stated "trash should remain trash!"

"I see" Natsu said as he dodged another swing from Balcacus before he got behind Balcacus and kicks it legs, causing the giant beast to fall down "then, I should teach you a thing or two on delicacy"

Natsu reached his hands behind as the golden wings shined before they transformed into a silver crescent blade and a silver dagger to which he graze against each other as if to sharpen their blades

"come now, let us begin the lesson" Natsu said as he smiled

Rustyrose gritted his teeth as he snapped his finger and two more Balcacus appeared before charging towards Natsu

Natsu slowly walked towards the two Balcacus as he swings the crescent blade, cutting one Balcacus' leg before dodging a swung fist by another. He soon slashes his dagger into the hand before cutting it through, dismembering an arm from one of the Balcacus

"it's useless! The Sacred Guardian Beast: Belcusas the Thunderclap is immortal!" Rustyrose exclaimed as the Balcacus stood up, their hands and legs regenerating

"ho? Immortal you say?" Natsu said chuckling as he swings his crescent blade in a 180 degrees spin before facing Rustyrose "how about now?"

Rustyrose looks confused before his jaws dropped when he saw all the Balcacus were cut in half as they disappeared into dust

Natsu approached Rustyrose who took a step back

"then!" Rustyrose exclaimed as he reach a hand out "come! Sacred Guardian Beast, Belfast the Hurricane!"

Another giant creature like Balcucas appeared, only looks like some sort of black wyvern

"Belfast! Feast upon him!" Rustyrose exclaimed before he gawked when Belfast roared but the creature turns into dust "what?!"

Natsu stood behind Rustyrose with his dagger slowly grazing the blade of his crescent blade

"when did you!?" Rustyrose exclaimed as Natsu turns and smirks at him before slowly approaching him


Kagura was running in the forest as she was heading to the large tower that appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the forest

"I can't reach any of them!" Kagura stated as she looks at her lacrima phone that which she tried using to call out Erza and the others

She runs faster and finally reached the location of the tower of Dingir where everyone was at

"Kagura-san!" Lucy called out to her while still wrapped in roots which Éclair was trying to rip off

"Lucy!? What's going on!?" Kagura exclaimed before she heard shouting near and sees Natsu fighting Rustyrose "who is that?!"

"we'll explain later!" Éclair exclaimed as she pulled on a root, trying to break it but couldn't "right now, we need to save everyone else!"

Kagura looks to them then to Natsu who is overpowering Rustyrose in battle


"Gah!" Rustyrose grunted in pain as Natsu slapped his face hard "bastard!"

"what's wrong? You stated that I was trash and trash should be trash" Natsu said before chuckling "or was that all just gloating?"

"I'll make you pay!" Rustyrose exclaimed as he reached his right hand out "This arm cuts through everything with a deep black blade!" Rustyrose's right arm transformed into a five thick, black, and stiff tentacles, with grey claws at the end of them. "Disappear to the edge of darkness!"

Rustyrose swings his claw at Natsu who step aside before swinging his crescent blade at his arm which cause a bloody cut on it

"gahh!" Rustyrose exclaimed in pain as his right arm transformed back to normal before Natsu punched his nose, causing more pain to him "Gaaah! My nose!"

"what's the matter? Have you not felt pain before?" Natsu asked chuckling as he dodge a weak punch from Rustyrose before slapping his cheeks hard "I have"

Rustyrose gritted his teeth in anger as he glared at Natsu who smirked at him

"Rain down! The blasts of lightning!" Rustyrose exclaimed as dark clouds formed in the sky and a purple magic circle appeared "Thor's Wrath!"

A powerful blast of lightning strikes down on Natsu who lifted the dagger up

The lightning strikes at the dagger, the electricity absorbed into it

"do you know how a lightning rod works?" Natsu asked to Rustyrose who looks in disbelieve "they channel lightning strikes to the ground, can a human do the same?"

Rustyrose looks in fear as he cannot defeat Natsu at all

"soar to the skies! Upon my legs are the wings of the Pegasus!" Rustyrose exclaimed as he jumped and wings appeared on each side of his boots to which he use to fly away

"my my, a fleeing foe is a cowardly foe" Natsu said chuckling as he lifts the dagger up before it flies like a boomerang towards Rustyrose, cutting off the wings on his boots "it's time for the finale"

"gaaahh!" Rustyrose started falling down as he lost the wings on his boots, he saw Natsu as the man dashed towards him, intending to finish him off "foolish! That which dwells in my left hand is a golden shield, that pushes back everything!"

Rustyrose reach his left hand out as it shines and transformed into a massive, heavy golden shield

Natsu's crescent blade shines like the moon as it's blade reflects the night sky

"Lumine" Natsu chanted as he swings the blade at Rustyrose, directly at his shield; moments in contact "Mikazuki"

Natsu swings his blade through as Rustyrose's shield shatters into pieces, his left arm covered in cuts and blood, himself screaming in pain

The dagger went flying to Natsu who caught it and as soon as he did, Rustyrose fell defeated

"it is over" Natsu said chuckling as he looks at Rustyrose who was out cold from his attack "seems like he is sleeping.."

The Tower of Dinger soon disappears as Rustyrose's defeat caused it to crumble down, freeing everyone

"he did it" Kagura said as she and Éclair had freed Lucy from the roots "he…defeated him.."

"so…strong" Lucy said while Éclair gulped in surprise

Natsu's weapons disappeared as they transformed into his golden wings that also disappeared

Raising a hand up, Natsu reaches to the lunar moon

"what a beautiful lunar moon" Natsu said as his hair glowed


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
