Zentin: Thanks, I didn't know that.

The Awesome Being: First off I want you to know that Sasuke and Naruto will not be getting any lacrima. They will not be getting powered up by the like Laxus or the Bijuu lacrima, or Cobra's lacrima. They will train to get stronger, plain and simple. But, do not fret. Sasuke and Naruto will be stronger than Erza and Mira by the end of this arc as they will be relearning something, kinda.

Firebird0315: Thanks.

Thunder King Magic plus Pressure Magic, with a side of Storms!

Akira disappeared in a burst of speed, surprising Natsu and Gray. He reappeared in the middle of them, doing a handstand on his hover board and swinging his legs out in a splits fashion. While Natsu and Gray didn't see him until he was there and already swinging his legs, they dodged as they had developed a fledgling danger sense, thanks to Naruto and Sasuke respectively.

"Fast," Gray mumbled, however his thoughts were cut off as Akira appeared in front of him, throwing a punch that combined his speed from the hover board and his natural strength. Gray ducked under the punch and slammed his hands together in preparation for a spell, however Akira jumped off the board and grabbed it, before swinging it towards Gray's head. Gray had to cancel his spell to dodge.

"He's flexible too," Gray mumbled.

Akira disappeared again before reappearing in front of Gray, his right arm coated in a faint yellow glow.

"Take this."

Gray blocked the strike, but jumped backwards once he felt his arm go numb.

'Damn! Now I can't use my Magic! More importantly, what type of Magic does this guy use? A Magic that can send electrical pulses through your body, and coats parts of your body in a yellow glow, that reminds me of something, but I just can't remember! I need more time to think.'

"Natsu! Distract him for me!"

"Distract him! Hell, I'm going to BEAT him! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Natsu's fire-coated hand slammed into Akira's yellow-glow-coated palm. Natsu pushed harder into the strike, trying to overpower Akira, however the boy didn't seem to be trying at all.

"Fool, my Magic allows me to augment my physical powers. Not to an unstoppable level, for example a dragon, however I can become stronger than a teenager who is my age," Akira said, before he disappeared again, only this time his board didn't go with him.

"He left his board," Natsu cheered.

That was when Gray saw something glow behind Natsu.

"NATSU DUCK!"

Natsu, while supposedly not liking Gray, did as told, barely avoiding Akira's spinning hook kick to the head. Only a hair was hit, however that hair stuck up straight in the air, and Natsu had to hold his head.

"Why does my head hurt so bad? What did that guy do," Natsu mumbled.

"Don't worry about it," Akira mumbled, before disappearing. He reappeared behind Gray.

'You are the strategist on this team. If I take you out, it's game over!'

Natsu saw this and coated his fist in flames again, determined to overpower Akira. It was his forte, to overpower opponents, and he would not be overshadowed by a person he just met.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Gray ducked, avoiding both of their strikes, however Natsu's and Akira's fist closed in on each other. Akira was worried though. He hadn't put as much power into his punch as he would need to defeat a spell without using another spell, and he really didn't want to tell the world what his Magic was. Also, while he was flexible, he couldn't use that to his advantage right now as he had expected to hit Gray full on, so he put to much momentum of the speed his Magic granted him into the attack, not to mention his power. He had fully committed to it.

The moment the two fists clashed Akira tried to pump more power into his muscles to equal Natsu's strength and at least match the boys natural physical strength.

It didn't work.

As the expected explosion that happened whenever Magical powers clashed happened, Gray's arm returned to its normal, non-numb feeling. Gray used this to roll away and get to a range this technique could work, hopefully.

"Ice-Make Lance!"

Gray put his fist over his palm, before a ice blue Magic formula appeared in front of his hands. From that formula sprang several ice-lances that headed towards Akira, with obvious intent to impale him. It looked like they would too, until he disappeared and they landed in front of Natsu.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE AIMING THOSE THINGS GRAY!"

"Shut up Natsu!" Gray responded before looking around. He was about to call Natsu over when he heard a faint whisper. "...King!" Gray turned, to see Akira's fist, which was coated in a much brighter yellow glow, slam into his face.

Akira disappeared again, before reappearing on his hover board.

"Do you wish to continue," he asked.

"Without a doubt. We won't lose this!" Gray and Natsu roared.

XxX

Naruto prepared to jump in the air, for an aerial assault, before Sasuke grabbed his shoulder.

"What is it?" was his idiotic question. Sasuke had the urge to slam his face into the ground and beg the angel that sent them here to take him back, but decided against it. "Do you not see the storm clouds over our heads. Jumping up would be a mistake, especially as it's obvious that guy is controlling them."

"So what?"

Sasuke did smack something this time, Naruto.

"Use that peanut sized thing in your head that you call a brain to realize that this guy uses Storm Magic, and what storm happens when dark clouds are above you, but no rain has fallen yet?"

Naruto did use his brain to think about it, and when he did the answer was fairly obvious. "A thunderstorm."

"So you can think," Lafan said, a little surprised.

"HEY!" Naruto roared. "I can think, I just don't like to."

Lafan merely sweat dropped at the blonde before raising his gauntlets. "Fear not then. When I'm gone with you, you won't have too."

Sasuke jumped away as Lafan charged them, however Naruto did not. Lafan smirked and threw his fist down, striking Naruto threw the head, however it just exploded in blue particles.

"What," Lafan demanded.

'Don't tell me he finally realized how to remake them?' Sasuke thought as he watched Naruto appear behind Lafan with a Rasengan in hand.

"It's called Energy-Make: Shadow Clone asshole! Now take this, Energy-Make: Rasengan!"

Naruto slammed the sphere into Lafan's back, shredding his cloak, shirt, and vest leading to his back. However, it had lost a bit of power by the time it reached Lafan's actual skin. While it still hurt incredibly, it did not hurt as much as one directly to the skin. Lafan still screamed out in pain and grabbed his scorched back in anger though.

"Prepare yourself! I will kill you," Lafan roared.

Lafan charged Naruto who smiled before several more versions of him, clones, not that Lafan knew that, came out from the trees and tree branches.

"But can you find us?"

Lafan growled before smirking. "I do not need to. Wind Blast!"

Lafan swung his gauntlet upwards and a powerful blast of wind came from the dark clouds above. They slammed into the clones, blowing all of them away and making them erupt in a shower of blue particles. However, no body, no body parts, not even scraps were left of Naruto's body.

'Did I kill him? No, they explode into those blue particles if they are hit hard enough. Which means, he could be, no, he is behind me,' Lafan thought, and turned to see Naruto behind him, smiling.

"Hey pal."

"I'm not your pal."

"Sasuke disagrees."

"Lightning God's Thunder Kick!"

Sasuke appeared behind Lafan, his right foot covered in black lightning, before he slammed it down at Lafan, however the man brought his gauntlet up and blocked the kick, surprising Sasuke.

'He must have a lot of physical strength to do something like that.'

Lafan turned throwing a punch out at Sasuke who knocked the punch to the side and tried to hit Lafan with a spin kick to the head, however the man ducked and threw up an uppercut catching Sasuke in the chin. Sasuke stumbled backwards, however he was soon replaced by Naruto who was attacking Lafan now. He shouted a quick, "Sky God's Barrage!" as he coated his fists in black winds and began throwing a barrage of punches towards Lafan's face. While Lafan was not fast enough to block every punch his physical strength allowed him to endure it and hit Naruto in the gut with his much stronger punch. Naruto flew backwards before back flipping in midair and landing on the ground. He coughed before glaring at Lafan.

"Sasuke..."

"Right."

Sasuke jumped in midair as Naruto charged at Lafan, however only Naruto was preparing a spell.

"Sky God's Dance!"

Naruto created two streams of black wind from his hands before swinging around Lafan, who had tried to punch him, before sending them spiraling into Lafan, who was sent flying into the air, only slightly above Sasuke.

Sasuke flew under Lafan, closing matching his body movement, exactly like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow.

"I admit this move is not purely mine, however you'll be fighting my own variant, prepare yourself," Sasuke said.

Sasuke placed one palm on Lafan's back and spun him to the right, also coming in with a kick from that same side. Lafan blocked the kick, however Sasuke was expecting that. Sasuke faked striking the opposite side with the same leg before bringing the leg around again, only he didn't actually try to hit Lafan. Instead he slammed a back-fist into Lafan's face, causing the man to groan in pain. Sasuke was now above Lafan, like he wanted. Sasuke then slammed his arm into Lafan's gut, making him face the proper way for him to end the technique. Sasuke finished the combination by bringing his leg around, and as soon as Lafan's body touched the ground sasuke's heel connected with Lafan's gut and Sasuke called out the name of the finished technique.

"Lion's Barrage!"

Lafan coughed up blood as he hit the ground, before rising, albeit slowly.

"I'll kill you," he roared.

"I can't believe he stood up so quickly," Sasuke mumbled.

"Maybe your getting weaker," Naruto asked.

"I doubt it," Sasuke responded.

"DON'T IGNORE ME BRATS! BLACK TORNADO!"

Lafan swung his gauntlets forward, before a giant, black tornado sprang from the lion's mouth's towards Sasuke and Naruto.

"Naruto," Sasuke said.

"Yeah, yeah."

Naruto walked in front of the tornado and smiled. He sucked in air, and as he did so not only did the air became thinner, but the tornado was drawn inside of his mouth. His stomach expanded before shrinking down to its regular size.

"W-what," Lafan said, stumbling over his words in his shock.

"I just ate your wind, surprised?" Naruto teased, before disappearing.

He reappeared behind Lafan, smiling, and yelling out an, "AND IT WAS A PRETTY DAMN GOOD MEAL." Naruto placed one palm on Lafan's back and whispered, "Dark Ecriture: Pain." The runes for the spell appeared on Lafan's back and glowed, igniting a blazing pain through his system.

XxX

Akira disappeared in another blur of speed, however this time Natsu and Gray were expecting it. Gray turned around, ducking under Akira's yellow-glowing fist before slamming his fist on his palm. Gray smiled and said, "Ice-Make: Sword!" A sword made of ice appeared in his hands before he thrust it upwards to pierce Akira through the arm. However, Akira disappeared again in a burst of speed, however when you looked at the ground, which Gray did not do, you would see a small amount of crimson liquid on the ground.

"Take this! Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"

Natsu engulfed his entire body in flames and then propelled himself towards Akira at a high speed, attempting to hit him with a powerful headbutt. Akira did not look behind him and was hit with the flaming-headbutt from behind. Natsu slammed his legs into the ground, forcing himself to shoot high into the air in a pillar of flame.

"TAKE DOWN!"

Natsu then stopped the attack before grabbing Akira's arm and throwing him towards the ground and continuing his attack.

'I can't slow down. If I do we'll lose him again he's to fast.'

Natsu ignited his feet with flames and slammed his feet into Akira's stomach, with the flames making the kick even more powerful. He used the jet-propulsion part of the technique to send down a column of flames with Akira at the head. Akira slammed into the ground as Natsu glared down at him. As Natsu landed he noticed the hover board, that was no longer sending out the stream of Pressure Magic it was sending out earlier.

'Was he powering those lacrima?'

Natsu did not have the time to think about it more as he heard an annoyed growl. He looked up to see Akira, whose entire body was covered in a bright yellow glow.

"I can't hold back any longer, so prepare yourself. Thunder King's Armor."

'Thunder King...' Gray thought, 'that's it! He uses Thunder King Magic. And judging from how that lacrima's Pressure Magic stopped flowing once he was disconnected with it he also uses Pressure Magic. This guy, he's dangerous. Pressure Magic can deal out deadly amounts of blunt force damage, and Thunder King Magic not only channels electricity through your body to make you faster and stronger but also transfers electricity into their opponent on contact, which can cause paralysis, or electrical burns.'

"Natsu, be wary of him. Avoid as many hits from him as you can," Gray shouted.

Natsu looked over at Gray before looking at Akira. While Gray most likely had a proper reason for saying that, and the way that glow that was coming off of Akira lashed out violently, made Natsu consider the words Natsu would not listen. His attacks were held back by this guy, not to mention he stopped them with one hand. It was disrespectful. Over Natsu's own pride he had to overpower this guy, he would not accept anything else, even a strategic victory.

Akira disappeared in a burst of speed that left scorch marks on the ground. It was faster than when he disappeared on his hover board, and by the time Natsu's and Gray's danger sense flared they had already been hit. Both boys were sent rolling on the ground, their cheeks burning and skin sizzling. If Akira had put in more power they would have had an electrical burn.

'This guy, he's a monster. We're not the type of people who can beat a guy like him. We aren't on his level yet. We need more training,' Gray said as he stumbled away, before he tried to run. However, once he looked at Natsu he stopped. Natsu was glaring defiantly at Akira, no fear in his eyes. Worry, yes, but no fear. It made him worry. Gray knew that Natsu by himself would not be able to defeat Akira in a fight, he needed to have help, there was no chance that he could win alone. Gray shoved his fear aside and walked back up to Natsu and slammed a fist onto his head.

"You know flame-brain, sometimes you are to hardheaded. Honestly, we should be running right now, however you're to proud to lose to a guy like this. I can't blame you though. Well then, as the smarter person out of both of us, I would tell you to run, however as a person with my own pride and a person who cares for his friends, I'll help you out," Gray said.

Natsu smiled. "Thanks, but I didn't need it. I would have beat this guy."

"Whatever."

"Are you two done yet? It's time for me to kill you."

Gray and Natsu stood, their strength waning, however they still said the same thing, with even more determination and confidence in their voice.

"LET'S SEE YOU TRY!"

"Then try I will," Akira said before disappearing. He reappeared behind Gray his hand already cocked back.

"Booming King!"

Akira's fist glowed an even brighter yellow as a sonic boom happened. Akira's punch had broken the sound barrier and slammed into Gray sending him flying into a nearby tree and breaking his ice sword. Natsu tried to hit Akira back with a Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, however his fist was knocked away before Akira, whose eyes were now a bright yellow, slammed both fists into his gut, sending Natsu flying into the train.

Natsu growled and pushed of the train, fire layering his feet.

'We're gonna have to pay for that. And have Erza chew us out later,' Gray thought when he saw it, however now was not the time for such thoughts.

Gray slammed his fist on his palm, as an ice blue Magic formula appeared in front of him. At the same time Natsu roared, "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" he roared, "Ice-Make: Saucer!" Magical ice congregated and made a giant spinning ice disk that was launched at Akira. However, Akira was quick and disappeared again, causing both Natsu and Gray to miss, however Natsu did not have the power to stop his attack, and neither did Gray. From the look of things it would hit Natsu.

"NATSU MELT THE ICE," Gray hollered, and Natsu nodded, however he knew he would have to do a dual spell for that. It was something that was out of capability as of now.

Just as the saucer was about to hit Natsu a yellow blur hit Natsu directly in the face, allowing the saucer to pass right by him and blood to splatter over the ground. Gray and Natsu stood there shocked. Akira had taken the damage himself. he had taken the blow for Natsu.

"Why?"

XxX

"W-who are you?" Yamai asked, looking at the teen in front of him. He, like Akira, had golden amber eyes with long silver hair that fell to his waist and covered half of his face. He was tall, but looked well toned, and wore a sleeveless green shirt. Her wore brown shoes with black pants and wore two hoop earrings.

"I am Xeos Shuso, leader of the guild Shadow's Life. I am here for my gem," Xeos said, holding out his hand.

Yamai began to stutter even more. "I-I-I-I'm a-a-afraid that I d-d-don't have it."

"I see," Xeos said. "Well, isn't that just a pity. I guess there is only one thing to do."

"W-w-what's t-t-that?"

"Take you with us."

XxX

Natsu and Gray walked up to Akira before a tendril of wood wrapped itself around their legs and slammed them into the ground, where more wood wrapped around their necks.

"Hello boys," Xeos said as he walked up to Akira.

"Who are you?" Natsu asked, however Xeos ignored him.

"Foolish little brother." And with that Xeos carried both Akira and Yamai away.

XxX

"Lafan," Xeos said walking up to the man.

He was still battling Naruto and Sasuke, both of which looked tired, however Lafan was not an exception.

"Yes, master Xeos?"

"We're leaving, we have what we came for."

"Yes master," Lafan said before glaring at Sasuke and Naruto. "Be thankful, I would have killed you now if it weren't for master."

Sasuke growled as did Naruto and both tried rushing then, however a scream pierced their ears.

"You should probably go check on those two boys," Xeos said.

Naruto growled. "This isn't over."

Xeos smiled. "I know."

With that Naruto and Sasuke ran towards Natsu's scream.


Hey guys it's Kuma Akuma. SEND IN OCS! I mean uh, cough, who said that? I hope you like what I did with the questions, that's how I decided I would be doing it. If you really want me to change it I will. Well I don't have much to say. See you guys later and avoid the Earl.
