"thinking"

On with the story

Natsu with the girls stood around the townsfolks as they were getting told of what had happened to the town

"it just happened 1 week ago" one of the elders stated while covered in bandages

Flashback

The townsfolks were bustling around in the town like they normally do before one of them had hold of a Metamo in hand

Days later, dozens of Lizardmen came out of nowhere and started attacking the town and the people in it

Some lizardmen grabs some of the people while some destroyed the houses nearby, wrecking everything and burning it all into flames

flashback

"those lizardmen came out of nowhere! They attacked the town and kidnapped many of us!" one of the elders stated while in grief as his grandchild was taken from him

"please rest down" Éclair told the man as he was injured and needed to not move too much "we'll get your grandchild back"

The old man cried in tears before Natsu walks pass them and head out to the cave's entrance

"where are you going?" Erza stated as Natsu stops while facing the exit "a head on attack isn't the wisest decision, Grimoire Heart could be capturing the townspeople as hostages"

"I know" Natsu said before Enryuo Yoroi equips onto himself while steaming "that's why I'm going to find their base"

"didn't you hear what Erza said?" Mira said to Natsu "if we do anything rash, they could harm the townsfolks"

"I'm going to go no matter what" Natsu said as he took a few steps before he glanced back at the others, his eyes glowed menacing red behind his helmet's visor "and I'm going to get rid of them for good"

Natsu soon walks out before he disappears into flames

"he's going to kill them, won't he?" Cana asked as Erza and Mira nodded "and I don't think he'll listen to reason this time"

"Natsu…" Éclair muttered out as she looks worried


Far from Hixs town, the train was getting attacked

Both Hyrus and North were lying on the ground, injured badly while rains of explosions came from the skies as the giant black ship bombarded it

Inside the train, groups of black mages entered in as they attacked inside while Lucy, and Kamika were fighting them off

"where did these guys come from!?" Lucy exclaimed as she fired a sphere of light magic at one black mage and knocked him out

"less talking!" Kamika exclaimed as she throws paper shurikens at some black mages before hiding back to cover from blasts of magic that came in return "we need to fend them off! Or they'll get to the other passengers!"

At the further end of the train carts, Ultear standby to protect the rest of the passengers

Meredy clings onto Ultear as she shakes in fear

"it'll be alright" Ultear told Meredy in a gentle voice "Mama is not going to let anything happen, I promise"

Magic explosions rang out above as the sky rages in thunder and lightning for a battle of magic was happening in the skies


Irene floated in the sky as she holds the Dragon staff in hand

"my my, this is the first time that any witch has ever be in my stature of power" a voice spoke as on the black ship was an old man wearing an eyepatch and a black cloak

He is Hades, leader of the Grimoire Heart Black Organization and the one nicknamed the Immortal Demon

"a witch with Scarlet hair, you must be Irene Belserion, Headmistress of Belserion High and also the formerly known as the bringer of pure destruction in the war, Scarlet Despair" Hades said while scratching his long beard "I've heard tales of your 'destructive' magic capability in the past as you eradicated an entire battalion of magic soldiers from the north at the age of 18. I must say that I am quite honored to meet you"

"leave" Irene said as the Dragon Staff glowed crimson and flames rages on the tip of the Dragon's head "now"

"hohoho, do you believe that I will quiver in my boots upon your presence?" Hades asked before he swings a hand forward and a blast of black magic fired at Irene "INSOLENCE!"

Irene swings the staff to the side as a barrier appeared and deflected the magic blast instantly

"I have far superior capability in magic!" Hades shouted as he swings his right hand forward before creating several magic symbols in the air, thrusting his hand forward and fired several magic chains that fired into the air and towards Irene

Irene spins the staff to her side as flames rages around her, incinerating the chains before it could get close to her

"impressive" Hades said with a smirk before he lifted his right hand and did a gun like gesture "but naïve!"

Several magic shots were fired as Irene deflected it all with the staff before magic chains coils around her body

"what!?" Irene looks in surprise before the chain's swings away with her wrapped in them as Hades holds the chain and swings it away

"my magic surpasses that of a normal mage!" Hades exclaimed as he swings the chains down, sending Irene falling to the ground in a large crash "fear my power!"

The dust settled as the chains were broken and Irene was safely in Natsu's arms who had appeared on the scene

"N-Natsu.." Irene muttered out as the young man wore his armor and his eyes glowed red behind the visor

"we will have a talk later" Natsu said as Irene looks at him before seeing that the Dragon staff was in his hand "right now…"

Natsu looks at Hades standing upon his ship as flames rages around Natsu's helmet with two glowing red dots appearing in the flames

"I'm pissed at that old geezer" Natsu stated in anger as he lets go of Irene before he bolted at Hades in high speed


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
