Igneel is a greatly known creature, no one really has a scan of him. He travels around Perim and can be a difficult creature to find. At the moment, he stood at the top of a mountain and appeared to be in a meditative state. He felt the wind blew against him, but that is what alerted him of something.

"What was that?" Igneel said as he felt something was wrong. Igneel was a smart creature and stacked himself with a few mugic that he thinks might be of use to him on his travels. "Song of Futuresight, show me the future." Igneel played the mugic and it gave him insight to the future and he saw the Stormgrounds and it looked like a dangerous storm was forming. "Oh no! I've got to alert others about this or else there'll be great destruction."

...

Chaotic

"That's right! Hold your applause!" Zach said as he met up with the girls. "The grand winner of his drome match has done it!"

"Not now. We're watching the last of Gray's battle." Erza said.

"Gray?" Zach said. He watched the battle go on and saw Viqtarr against Ibian. Ibian tried using Rustoxic, but Viqtarr slammed the ground and caused rocks to rise and formed a shield to block the attack. Viqtarr used a Minor Roar attack and it hit Ibian with Ibian getting coded. Viqtarr changed back to Gray and he knew how to keep it cool.

"Gray's become a really great battler." Lucy said. "He really knows what he's doing out there."

"I'll say." Zach said. He looked around and noticed someone missing. "Where's Natsu? I bet he would have liked to see Gray in action."

"Same place as usual." Erza said.

"He's still in Perim?" Zach said. "Don't tell me he's still looking for Igneel."

"You've got to give him credit. That boy doesn't give up easily." Erza said.

"But he's been trying to get a scan of Igneel for months and Igneel doesn't allow himself to get scanned." Zach said.

"I just hope Natsu is doing okay out there." Lucy said.

...

Perim

Natsu has been traveling around Perim. He's been trying to get a scan of Igneel and he wasn't going to quit on that. Natsu had a pack and was wondering around.

"Where is he?" Natsu said as he looked around. "I may not no where you are, but I will scan you eventually." Natsu kept wondering around and was trying to find him, but he didn't noticed someone coming up behind him. He felt someone tap his shoulder and turned to see his friends.

"Hey, Natsu." Lucy said.

"What are you guys doing here?" Natsu said.

"We came to check on you." Zach said.

"Any luck on finding Igneel?" Erza said.

"Not yet." Natsu said.

"Natsu, Igneel could be anywhere. Even if you find him, what are you going to do? He's not going to let you scan him." Zach said.

"I know, but I'll figure something out. Besides, we might be in a good place after what happened with Van Bloot." Natsu said. "I know he's out here and I'm going to find him."

"You're closer than you think." Lucy said since she spotted something in the sky. She pointed up and they saw Igneel flying through the sky.

"There he is!" Natsu said as he saw his chance. "Igneel! Igneel!" Natsu called for him, but Igneel wasn't responding. He just kept flying.

"Where's he going?" Zach said.

"I don't know, but I'm going to get ahead of him so I can get a scan." Natsu said as he tried to find a location that was in the same direction Igneel was heading. "I'll see you later." Natsu ported, but he didn't notice that Igneel spotted him when he was porting.

...

Natsu

Natsu ported to a grassy lands since that was the closest location he had to where Igneel was heading. He looked around in the sky and was looking for Igneel. Natsu looked up and spotted something in the sky and believed that was Igneel.

"There you are." Natsu said as he got his scanner ready, but he saw Igneel fly straight down like a falcon. Natsu pulled back as Igneel landed in front of him.

"I thought it was you I saw teleporting." Igneel said.

"Hey! Just hold still." Natsu said as he held out his scanner, but Igneel grabbed his arm and got in his face. "Do it and you lose it." That kept Natsu from doing anything. "Understand that I will NEVER allow myself to be scanned by your kind!" He let Natsu go and walked away from him.

"But why?" Natsu said.

"I know a thing or two about you humans and your game." Igneel said. "I know you humans become us in your game. You copy our appearances and our abilities, but I know you also copy our memories. You would have access to what we know. I've learned some secrets and I prefer to keep it that way. I don't know if I can trust you humans."

"But what about what happened with Van Bloot? I thought we were on good terms." Natsu said.

"Perhaps, but that doesn't mean I trust you humans enough to scan me." Igneel said. "I don't have time for this in the first place. I have a great danger to deal with."

"What do you mean? What's wrong?" Natsu questioned.

"I sensed something wrong and used the Song of Futuresight." Igneel said. "I saw great storm at the Stormgrounds."

"Isn't that why it's called that place?" Natsu asked.

"No. This one is different." Igneel said. "This storm is dangerous and almost unnatural. Something must be disrupting the balance in that location and it's generating a dangerous storm that could spread around Perim. If it does, it could do much harm. I must do something to try and prevent that."

"There must be something I can do to help." Natsu said.

"Actually, there is." Igneel said. "This scanner of yours allows you to travel around Perim in an instant. I need you to travel to Eye of the Maelstrom."

"Why?" Natsu said.

"A creature named Clodor lives there and I might need his help." Igneel said. "He is made out of electricity. He might be able to help contain this bizarre storm. It would save me time while I head to the Stormgrounds."

"Clodor at the Eye of the Maelstrom. Got it." Natsu said.

"I hope so." Igneel said as he unfolded his wings and flew off again. Scanning Igneel will have to wait. This sounds like a real problem that he's got to solve.

...

The Stormgrounds

Igneel flew all the way to the Stormgrounds. He could see it was already beginning. The clouds were swirling and lightning was striking at irregular patterns with the wind blowing hard.

"This isn't good." Igneel said.

"Igneel!" He looked down and spotted Erza and Zach were down there.

"I remember you two." Igneel said as he flew down to them. "What are you doing here?"

"Natsu called us and told us what was going on." Erza said. "He and Lucy are going to get Clodor. We came here to see if we could help."

"I'm not sure there's much you can do." Igneel said as he looked at the sky. "It looks like it's already beginning. I need Clodor to absorb some of the electricity."

"Exactly what is going on around here? It storms here all the time. What exactly is different?" Zach questioned.

"That's what I'm here to find out." Igneel said as the three of them got moving. "Something has thrown the balance of this location off and is generating a dangerous storm. We'll find the answer at the center of this storm."

"How does it storm here all the time in first place?" Zach questioned.

"Storms are formed when a warm front and a cold front collide against each other, low pressure and high pressure. Mountain terrain like this can have an effect on that." Erza said. "Something here must have changed that and that's what's effecting the storm."

"We'll know soon enough." Igneel said as the three of them kept going.

...

Natsu

Natsu ported to the Eye of the Maelstrom. Natsu looked around to try and find this Clodor.

"Natsu!" Natsu looked and saw Lucy was able to meet him there.

"Thanks for coming, Lucy." Natsu said. "You know the overworlders better than I do. Do you know about this Clodor?"

"Yeah. It wouldn't be hard to find a creature made of electricity." Lucy said. "Clodor is a pretty common creature. Just keep your eyes open for him." The two of them looked around to try and find Clodor. "Clodor's pretty smart. He might be able to help Igneel more than he thinks.

"Let's just hope we can find him." Natsu said.

"Wait. Look!" Lucy said as she pointed to the hand at the center of the location. They looked and spotted Clodor standing at the center. "That's him!"

"What's he doing?" Natsu questioned.

"Just watch and see." Lucy said. They watched as Clodor launched some electricity in the center of the storm. When he did that, they saw a blue mugician fly out of the center and it flew off. "The Eye of the Maelstrom has the ability to take mugic. Somehow, Clodor can get it back."

"Let's go!" Natsu said as the two of them hurried. "Hey! Hey, Clodor!" Clodor heard him and saw the two of them. Clodor jumped off the hand and landed near the two of them.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Clodor said.

"We came here because we need your help." Natsu said. "There's some sort of problem and you're needed to help fix it." They took a moment and explained to Clodor what was going on.

"I see. So you need my help at the Stormgrounds." Clodor said.

"Igneel thinks you might be able to help him and we might not have much time left." Lucy said. "Speaking of which, I better call the others and see how it's going." Lucy took out her scanner and stepped aside. She waited for an answer and saw Erza. "Erza, what's going on?"

"It's getting bad around here!" Erza said. "We're trying to find the source of this strange storm! If you have Clodor, tell him to get over here fast! It appears to be getting worse!"

"That doesn't sound good. Clodor, you've got to help us." Natsu said.

"It does sound bad. Very well." Clodor said and they were glad to hear that.

"Wait. How are you going to get there so fast?" Natsu questioned.

"Easy." Clodor said as he became pure electricity and flew off.

"We better get going ourselves. I'm worried about Zach and Erza." Lucy said and Natsu agreed. They both ported there and hoped it wasn't too late.

...

Stormgrounds

Igneel and the others continued to move through the location as they tried to get the center of the storm. They made it to the top of a slope and spotted something in the sky. The storm was growing out of hand as they could see a large blue light in the clouds.

"That's not a good sign." Igneel said.

"Check that out!" Zach said as he pointed to one of the large stone obelisks. Only, this one was partly black like it was burned. The three of them hurried to get a closer look. Once they got close enough, it was surprisingly warm near it. "What happened here?"

"I think I'm starting to see what happened. This rock must have been hit by lightning." Erza said. "It caused the rock to get heated and the harsh winds must be cooling it."

"So this rock is throwing the storm off balance." Igneel said. "Now that we know the problem, I think I know what to do. We just need Clodor."

"Hey!" All of them looked and spotted Natsu and Lucy heading their way. They also saw some electricity fly over and it landed down with Clodor appearing.

"You made it!" Zach said as they all regrouped.

"Did you find out what's going on?" Lucy said.

"We have." Igneel said. "It turns out this giant stone is the epicenter. Clodor, I'm glad you could come to help. I need you to use this electrical power you have to try and cancel out this storm, absorb some of the power it holds. Can you do that?"

"No problem. I'm just going to need to get to the top." Clodor said.

"Guys, I think we have another problem." Zach said as he pointed to it. All of them looked to see a nest of snake-like creatures made of electricity slithering towards them.

"What are those things?!" Natsu said.

"Electric snakes! They live around here!" Igneel said. "Clodor, hurry and get up there! I'll try and hold them off! You need to stop that storm before it gets out of hand. If this storm continues, it will have disastrous effects on Perim!"

"We're in luck! I saw a narrow path that leads to the top!" Lucy said.

"You four better take cover!" Igneel said as he went to fend off the snakes. Clodor found the path Lucy saw and tried to make his way up. Natsu and the others tried to find cover, but Natsu looked and saw Clodor might need a little help.

"Natsu, come on!" Zach said.

"You go! I'm helping Clodor!" Natsu said as he raced to him.

"Are you crazy?! Get back here!" Lucy called, but Natsu just kept going. Clodor was trying to make his way up the rock, but the wind was blowing rather harsh against him and the storm was getting stronger with each passing second.

"I've got you!" Natsu said as he tried to push Clodor up, but he got electrocuted.

"What are you doing? Get down from here." Clodor said.

"No way." Natsu said as he took off his scarf and wrapped it around his hands. He pushed again and endured the storm. Igneel used a series of fire attacks to keep the snakes away from them, but he did notice Natsu trying to help Clodor. Natsu kept pushing Clodor up, but the harsh winds knocked Natsu's scanner out of his pocket and it fell.

"Your scanner!" Clodor said.

"Forget it! I'll go back for it!" Natsu said as they kept going. Natsu helped Clodor up the rock and made it to the top. Clodor stood in the center and stretched out both of his arms in the center of the storm and began to absorb some of the electricity into his body. "Cool!" Clodor kept absorbing electricity from the storm and tried to weaken it. Igneel saw it and could see the time to act was now as he took out two mugic, one generic and one mipedian.

"Chorus of Cothica! Notes of Neverwhere!" He played one mugic so he could use the other. The other mugic blasted through the storm and it completely dispersed. For the first time in centuries, there was a hole of open sky in this location and it was a sight to behold. The girls and Zach climbed up and were amazed with all of this.

"Incredible! He used the Chorus of Cothica so he could cast the Notes of Neverwhere. That destroys a location's effect." Erza said. Igneel flew over and landed down down on the rock.

"Thank you, Clodor. I was afraid of what might happen if I used the mugic before. So I needed you to absorb some of the power to weaken it." Igneel said.

"I was glad to help." Clodor said. Igneel turned to Natsu and held out his scanner.

"Thank you as well, Natsu. You dropped this." Igneel said.

"I was glad to help too." Natsu said. "Well, I guess I'll see you around."

"But Natsu, you seem to be forgetting something." Igneel said as he held out his scanner. "Didn't you originally come to scan me?"

"Are you serious?!" Natsu said as he was real shocked. "You're really going to let me scan you?! You said you wouldn't allow that."

"You have proven to be a human I can trust." Igneel said as he gave Natsu his scanner. "I am trusting you that if you do learn my secrets, you will keep them to yourself."

"I promise." Natsu said as he grabbed his scanner and scanned Igneel. In just a few seconds, a card of Igneel appeared on his scanner. Natsu couldn't believe it.

"This is our chance to scan Igneel too!" Zach said as he grabbed his scanner, but the girls weren't so sure. Igneel tossed a fireball at him as a warning. That caused Zach to back down.

"Thank you." Natsu said as Igneel flapped his wings and started flying.

"Until we meet again, my friends." Igneel said as he flew off. Natsu looked at his brand new scan and couldn't believe it.

"You did it!" Erza said.

"You really are the first person to ever get a scan of Igneel!" Lucy said.

"I did it... I did it!" Natsu cheered. Now that he has Igneel on his team, Natsu might kick some serious code.
