Natsu was challenged to a match by Codemaster Imthor, his second codemaster match. Natsu tried to surprise him by using some common creatures with new features. It seemed like Natsu won when he coded Imthor's last creature, but it wasn't. Now, four of Codemaster Imthor's creatures are back. Unda, Seeryn, Silv, and Nom are back and it's them against Agitos.
"What's going on?" Agitos said as he backed away from the four of them. "I already coded the four of you. How are you back?"
"Too bad you couldn't code Neffin at the start of the match." Unda said.
"I took a page from a fellow codemaster." Nom said.
"Neffin has the ability to bring any creatures I want back like this." Silv said.
"So now if you want to win, you have to defeat the four of us at once." Seeryn said. "Sudden Flair!"
"Funnel Blast!" Silv and Seeryn attacked together, but Agitos jumped out of the way and made a run for it. Unda and Nom followed after him as they both used Pebblestorm and Rip Tide. Both attacks hit Agitos and blew him through the forest.
...
Outside
Everyone watched the battle go on and it didn't look well for Natsu. His friends didn't like the look of this.
"This is bad. Very bad." Zach said. "How is Natsu suppose to code four creatures at once?!"
"There's got to be a way for him to get out of this one. Let's just hope he can really think of something." Erza said.
"There must be an answer somewhere. After all, Imthor brought back only four of his creatures. Why didn't he bring back that warbeast?" Lucy said.
"Maybe he thought that would be overkill." Zach said. "Do you have any idea who those four are? Those are the four elementals of Perim, the servants of the four elements. Each one of them represents one of the four elements, as you can clearly tell. Each one of them is powerful with the ability to grant their representing element to another creature. In fact, they live in a place that's known as the Lost City."
"The Lost City?" Erza said.
"I think I've heard of that." Lucy said. "Isn't it a flying citadel that is made of the four elements?"
"Exactly. Those four might come from different tribes, but they work well together." Zach said. "Natsu is in real trouble against those guys." It looked like the odds were against Natsu. There didn't seem to be a way for him to win. Agitos just kept running until Silv launched an air attack that knocked him down. It seemed like he was about to get coded, but he wasn't going down without a fight.
"Whirlwind Scythes!" Agitos tried attacking back and one managed to hit Nom and he got coded right away. Agitos wasn't expecting that, but he had to escape and regrouped. He used Smokesurge as cover and ran for it.
"Did you see that? Nom just got coded after one attack. Why?" Zach said.
"Wait. Take a look." Lucy said as she saw the stats of Imthor's creatures. "Each one of his creatures have only ten energy and they have no mugic and no battlegear. That must be why he didn't bring back his warbeast either.
"Of course. Warbeasts suffer from a great deal of recklessness. If Ninren came back and attacked just once, that one attack would have caused Ninren to code itself." Erza said.
"So Natsu still has a chance." Lucy said as they were starting to see the bright side of this.
"He just needs an attack that deals enough damage for each one and he'll take each one of them down." Erza said.
"But I said those creatures work well together. Even if he codes one, the rest of them will finish him. He's losing energy fast from each attack." Zach said. "He's not out of the woods yet."
...
The Battle
Agitos took cover from the other three, but he can't hide forever. Either he codes them and win this battle or he gets coded and loses.
'I can't let him win, but I can't just sit here and do nothing.' Natsu thought. 'There's got to be a way to take all three of them out. First, I better regain some energy.'
"Song of Desperation!" Agitos said as he cast a healing mugic. It came down and restored some of his energy. "Good thing I put that in there. It gave me a big boost in energy." He was glad he thought ahead. However, when he used that mugic, it alerted the others about his location. The tree he was hiding behind blew up as it was attacked by Silv.
"There you are!" Silv said as she unleashed another air attack, but Agitos jumped out of the way. Agitos jumped and used Flash Kick with it hitting Silv and she ended up getting coded.
"Two down, two to go." Agitos said.
"It won't be that easy!" Agitos looked to the sky and spotted the other two.
"Oh boy." Agitos said.
"Flash Mend!" Unda unleashed a bright light and healed some of her own energy.
"Perplexing Heat!" Seeryn unleashed some heat and pounded against Agitos. The two attacks distracted him and he couldn't really see.
"Aqua Recoil!"
"Ember Swarm!" Both of them used their attacks with Agitos getting hit by Ember Swarm and knocked down.
...
Outside
"That's got to hurt." Lucy said.
"It's a good thing he used that mugic to restore some of his energy. He would have been coded by now if he hadn't, but Unda is regaining some energy of her own." Zach said.
"Natsu needs to get rid of Seeryn first before Unda regains too much energy." Erza said. This is becoming a close battle and Natsu might not hold out much longer.
...
The Battle
Flash Mend!" Unda unleashed more light that healed her and blinded Agitos. Seeryn flew down at Agitos to deal some more damage.
"Not this time. Searing Sympthony!" Agitos cast mugic again and it came down at Seeryn. Seeryn got caught in the mugic and he got coded. "Just one more to go and I win."
"Yes, but I've already regained some energy." Unda said. "It's going to take more than one attack to code me now. Hydro Balls!" Unda unleashed the attack and blasted Agitos with it. Agitos got back up and now that he only has one creature left to deal with, he still has a chance.
"Try this. Fire Ring!" Agitos generated a ring of fire that Unda nearly got caught in, but she flew out of there and shot water from her mouth and put out the flames. Agitos tried running for it, but Unda wasn't going to let him escape.
"Sludge Gush!" Unda unleashed some sludge and blasted Agitos with it and caused him to slip and fall. "That last attack was just desperate and reckless since it deals damage to you as well." His energy is almost gone and it wasn't looking good. Unda hovered right over him to finish this battle. She formed a water attack and was planning to finish him. "A good battle, but this is where it ends." It does end, but not the way Unda thinks.
"Fireram!" Agitos unleashed the fire attack and it smashed right into Unda. She didn't expect it at all and she ended up getting coded from it. The battle is over and Natsu has beaten his second codemaster with everyone cheering for him.
"Yeah!" Natsu said as he cheered over his next win. He danced around, but Imthor alerted him that he was still here and was telling Natsu his behavior was inappropriate. "Uh...Thank you for the battle."
"It was a brilliant move on your part, waiting till the last moment to use a powerful attack like that when I least expected it." Imthor said. "Here is your reward for winning." Imthor sent a scan over to Natsu and Natsu saw it was called Kaizeph.
"Kaizeph? What is this?" Natsu said.
"It's a location that many would know as the lost city, the city of elements." Imthor said. "Many new potentials await you there." Natsu was proud of his victory and of his new scan. Once Natsu got his scan, he walked right outside and showed his new scan to his friends.
"I can't believe you got a scan of the actual lost city." Zach said. "I didn't even know it was called Kaizeph."
"That's where those four elementals live, isn't it?" Lucy asked.
"It is, but I've heard there's more to that location than just that scan." Zach said. "Remember the Golden Heptagon. I hear it is in that location. Kaizeph is much bigger than you might think with locations in that location."
"I can't wait to check it out." Natsu said.
"Natsu, you got to get some scans for us. Finding Kaizeph is a lot harder than you think. It's a floating location that's always moving." Zach said.
"I'll see what I can do. In the mean time, I'm going to check this location out." Natsu said. "If that's really where those four creatures live, I can't wait to scan them and try them out. Especially that fire one."
"Good luck, Natsu." Lucy said as Natsu headed out. Natsu went for the portcourt and was a little anxious, but he didn't let that stop him. He locked in his location and ported to Kaizeph.
...
Natsu
Natsu ported to his new location. He ported to Kaizeph and he couldn't wait to see what it was like with his own eyes. Once Natsu ported there, he didn't see that much at first.
"It looks like I'm here, but where is..." Natsu nearly lost his balance as he saw he was on a narrow spot and latched on to a wall to keep himself from falling. Natsu looked around and could see he was in the city with it made out of the four elements. "Amazing! It's not only home to those four element dudes, but it's really made out of the four elements! Fire, water, earth, and wind!" Natsu moved around and found a window for him to go inside. Once Natsu was on a secure spot, he looked around and got a good look of the location. "This is incredible. I wonder what else is here."
"Stop right there!" Natsu looked up to the sky and saw one of the four elements. The one of fire: Seeryn. "Intruder!"
"Seeryn! Just who I was looking for!" Natsu said as he pulled out his scanner. "Just stay still for me! Let me get a good scan!" He held out his scanner towards Seeryn, but Seeryn thought Natsu was attacking and decided to attack first. He generated some flames and launched it with his wings. "Yikes!" Natsu ducked inside and ducked from the attack. "Hey! I'm just trying to get a scan!" Seeryn wasn't listening to him as he flew down at him. Natsu just got to this location and now he's already in some trouble. He's actually in more trouble than you might think. Kaizeph was a floating city and it was floating over a forest, but there was something in that forest.
"There it is." Down in that forest was the mysterious and dangerous pair of Siegfried and Drevex. "That's Kaizeph." Drevex said. They stood at the highest point they could in the forest with Siegfried getting a scan of the place.
"Interesting. So what we desire is in there." Siegfried said. "I can get up there no problem, but what about you. We won't be able to pull this off unless we both play a part."
"You don't have to worry about me." Drevex said as he pulled out a torwegg. "This modernize pieces of battlegear are coming in handy. I'll see you up there." Drevex was able to activate the torwegg and flew up to the city with Siegfried porting. Natsu might have won his codemaster match, but it looks like he's got bigger problems now.
