Chapter 7: Wind vs. Fire and Electric
Oshibana Station
Back in the main room where the group fought against the Eisenwald wizards, all of them are now tied up and still remain unconscious except for one. Currently interrogating by Erza on how to take down the Wind Wall that was created by Erigor.
"I said we don't know already… it's impossible." The Eisenwald wizard that was taken down by Erza. "There's no way we could dispel the magic wind wall!"
Erza!" She and Sakura hear Gray calling for Erza from the second floor and look at where his voice came from as they see him.
"Gray? You're not with Natsu?" Erza asks.
"We split up. Never mind that now! Eisenwald's real objective is the town down from here! It's the place where the old men are having their regular meeting! They plan on using the Lullaby there!" Gray yells.
"We already guessed―" Sakura cuts off.
"SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE PLANNING!?" Erza yells in anger as a purple dark aura surround her as she stares at the Eisenwald wizard like she's about to murder him causing him to cry out in panic.
"Erza…?" Sakura calls wondering if she forgotten that they already figured out Eisenwald's plan.
"But the station is surrounded by a magic wall." Erza says.
"Yeah, I saw it earlier. You'll be mincemeat if you try and for yourself out." Gray informs as he join Erza and Sakura in the ground floor.
"We're well aware of that." Erza says as she holds her injured arm and Gray notices this.
"Erza, your arm…" Gray says worried.
"It's nothing."
"But while we're sitting here, Erigor is getting closer to where the Guild Masters are." Sakura says.
"Wait a minute… there should be someone they call 'Kage' in Eisenwald. He was the only one who was able to dispel Lullaby's seal." Erza informs the two.
"Dispel? He's a dispeller? Then he could dispel the magic wind wall too!" Gray says.
"We need to search for Kage and capture him!" Erza says to the group.
"Right!" Gray says.
"He could be the wizard who used Shadow Magic and went after Natsu." Sakura says.
"Gray, take us to where you and Natsu split up. We'll follow the path he took and perhaps we'll be able to find him." Erza says.
"Right, follow me." Gray says as the group head off.
Gray, Erza, and Sakura run off to where Gray and Natus split off leaving the tied up Eisenwald wizards and the downed but still conscious wizard in the room.
"Karacka, how long are you going to hide yourself there?" The wizards questions when all of a sudden the fat wizard from before appears through a yellow magic circle that appears on a wall behind him.
"S-sorry…" The wizard, Karacka apologizes.
"They're after Kage. Get going."
"Please not me! I'm useless as a backup fighter!" Karacka says in a worried tone with sweat flying from his head.
"No, I have a much simpler task for you." The wizard says which Karacka even more worried.
Meanwhile
Another part of the station
Lucy whines as she, Happy and Latias find that they have lost sight of the Eisenwald wizard they were chasing.
"We've completely lost him…" Lucy says.
"Aye!" Happy agrees.
"Hey, why don't we head back to where Erza is for now?"
Hearing this causes Happy to yelp out in fear which echoes for a bit as he then stands back on one foot with a purple fog hovering over his head as Lucy and Latias look at him, curious to see what the reaction was all about.
"What's with that reaction?" Lucy asks.
"Erza told us to go after him. I see. You're so brave, Lucy… you'd ignore an order from Erza? When Erza orders something, well… After the things she'll do to you Lucy, I'm not sure I could look after you…" Happy says in a feared tone as sweat runs down his face as he looks terrified.
"She's going to… do 'things' to me?" Lucy says now also scared as her eyes go blank and she begins shaking, but Latias just tilts her head oblivious of what they are afraid of.
"Fine, I get it! We'll keep looking until we find him!" Lucy declares.
"You're attitude changes easily, Lucy." Happy says sounding unimpressed for some odd reason.
"Enough out of you! And why are you following me anyways you stupid cat!?" Lucy yells in an annoyed and angered tone at Happy.
Then they feel a vibration throughout the station.
"What's that viberation?" Lucy asks.
Somewhere else in the station
As Erza, Gray and Sakura are running, the entire building soon shakes catching their attentions as they stop in their tracks and look in the direction where they heard the explosion come from.
"What?" Gray says.
"Natsu!" Lucy says as her group also feels the rumble and hears the explosion.
"Let's hurry!" Erza says as she, Gray and Sakura run toward where the explosion occurred and they hear Natsu's and a man's voice.
"Okay! Tell me where Erigor is, like you promised!" Natsu says as he points at the wizard. Just then he begins laughing.
"Fools… Master Erigor is no longer in this station." He says.
"Huh?" Natsu says.
"Natsu!" Erza calls out as she, Gray and Sakura running up on the stairs. "That's enough! We need him!"
Nice going, flamebrain!" gray yells at Natsu.
Question marks appear around Natsu as he is confused by what Gray meant. When all of the sudden he gets a frightened look on his face. Natsu looks up as his body begins shaking in fear as Erza jumps up into the air and has one of her swords held ready to strike.
"I didn't do nothin' but I'm sorry!" Natsu cries out as Erza then flies past him, going for the wizard, Kageyama behind him. Natsu however is still struck in fear as his eyes go black white and he hears Kageyama screams in terror behind him, making him jump up with his mouth opened as Erza cuts through the wall and down right next to Kageyama's nech who is in the air with his eyes white and mouth hanging open in fear as well.
"Dispel the magic wind wall, and don't give us any trouble!" Erza demands with a determined and scary look on her face which has Kageyama nearly crying in fear.
Meanwhile, Natsu still hasn't recovered from the scare and is even scared for Kageyama as his arm shakes back and forth. "She' ain't kidding man! Erza's a beast!"
"Enough!" Gray says to Natsu.
"Got it?" Erza says to Kageyama who has calmed down a little.
"Fine…" Kageyama says.
Suddenly, Kageyama gasps out in pain catching everyone's attention, as them a yellow magic circle appears on his chest and a hand comes through it, causing Kageyama to reel back in pain.
"W-why?" Kageyama says as he then collapses to the ground revealing Karacka behind him and in the wall, his face through written with horror at what he just did as he thinks back to what he was ordered to do.
"A simple task… Dispose of Kage!"
"Kage!" Erza yells as she, Gray and Sakura rush over to check on Kage and hope he's alive.
"Damn it! There goes our only exit!" Gray says in anger.
Natsu looks on in shock and horror at what has just transpired before him, though for a different reason.
"Kage, stay with me! We need your power!" Erza says.
"Seriously man!" Gray says.
"You're the only one who can dispel the magic wind wall! Don't die!" Erza yells.
"Erza, let me heal him!" Sakura says as she gets the mind plate on her glove, turning it into pink and Sakura places her hand on Kage's chest. "Heal Pulse!"
Karacka is still in the wall, his hand shaking as he begins to whimper, sounding like he can't believe he just did that. Natsu forms a fist with his right hand and tightens it in anger.
"Wasn't he… your ally?" Natsu says catching the Eisenwald wizard's attention as he looks up towards him. Natsu is surrounded by fire as he seems to be very angered by this. "Wasn't he an ally in the same guild as you?!" He yells catching, Erza's, Gray's, and Sakura's attentions as Karacka out of fear sinks back through the wall. However, Natsu doesn't allow him to run away as he launches himself towards the wall. "You bastard!" He slam his fist into the wall, destroying it and sending Karacka who was on the other side flying back, screaming out in pain. "So that's what your guild is like?!"
"Kage, you're going to stay with us!" Erza says.
"It's no use Erza, he's unconscious." Gray tells her.
"But he is still alive. His wound isn't that deep." Sakura says.
Erza then begins rocking him back and forth violently to try and wake as her eyes widen in and go black in anger.
"I can't let you die! Dispel the wind wall!" Erza yells as Gray seeing this sweat drops.
"Erza, stop! You're making his condition even worse!" Sakura exclaims.
"He can't use magic in that sort of condition." Gray says.
"We must force him to do it!" Erza retorts.
Meanwhile from another doorway, Lucy, Happy and Latias look on at the scene in front of them.
"Um… Am I interrupting something?" Lucy questions.
"Aye…" Happy says.
~Later~
Outside the station
Erza tends Kage's wound, but most of his injuries has been healed thanks to Sakura's Heal Pulse. However, the Eisenwald still remains unconscious. The rest meanwhile look at the magic wind wall that still blocks them.
"So Erigor's objective was the regular meeting?" Lucy says in shock.
"The old man!" Natsu says.
"Erigor blocked the only route to Clover, and is heading there by air." Erza says.
"Route?" Sakura mumbles as Latias looks at Sakura.
"It'd be possible to catch up to him in a magic four-wheeler, but if we don't do something about this magic wind wall we can't leave the station!" Gray says.
"But…" Lucy begins to say.
Natsu coats his fist in fire and tries to destroy the wind wall as he punches it, however it proves no effect as the magic wind wall stays strong and knocks Natsu away from it, causing him pain in the process.
"If we tried to escape to the outside, that's what happens." Gray says as Lucy looks back at the downed Natsu with a scared look on her face, Natsu face first to the ground with his butt pointing up in the air and his arms outward as his body twitches from pain.
"Kage, I'm begging you! Lend us your power!" Erza says to the still unconscious Kageyama.
"Damn it!" I'll tear this wall to shreds!" Natsu yells as he co0ntinues to try and break through the wind walls with punches and kicks but still no avail as each attach keeps electrifying and sending him flying back to the ground face planted.
"Natsu!" Lucy yells.
"Idiot. Force isn't going to help." Gray says.
"It'll be bad if we don't hurry! Can't we freeze it with your magic?" Lucy says.
"If I could do that, I wouldn't done it already." Gray says.
"What about you, Sakura? Do you have any moves to break through this thing or dispel it?" Lucy asks turning to Sakura who is still thinking of something.
Natsu tries again, this time not even with his flames as he rams into it with his shoulder, yelling as loud as he can in anger.
"Natsu!" Gray says shocked by Natsu still trying.
"Stop that already! You're going to smash yourself to pieces!" Lucy yells in concern for him.
"Damn it! What' should we do?" Erza question herself with her eyes closed.
"I said stop it…" Lucy says as she manages to catch Natsu as he walks backwards into her from another failed attempt. Natsu all of the sudden appears to come up with something as he then turns his head and looks back at Lucty who seeing this wonders what he's doing. "W-what?"
Suddenly, Natsu yells outwards causing Lucy to jump back out of surprise.
"That's it! Spirits!" Natsu says to Lucy who becomes even more confused by what he's trying to say. "I was able to transport between places by going through the Spirit World at the Everblue mansion, remember?"
"Well, a normal person would die if they did that. You can't breathe. And anyway, the gate can only open where the Celestial wizard is." Lucy says as nearby Erza watches the two convers seeing if they did have something.
"Huh?" Natsu says as question marks appear and disappear around his head.
"In other words, if you want to pass through the Spirit World to escape, the least you'd need is a Celestial wizard outside the station." Lucy says trying to explain to Natsu why she can't do that which he still doesn't get.
"You lost me there… Just hurry up and do it." Natsu says.
"I told you I can't!" Lucy says causing gray who is also watching to sigh in annoyance of Natsu not getting the picture. "And it's also a really big violation of the contract for a human to enter the Spirit World. It's sure a good thing it was Everblue's key when it happened last time.
"Yep… I don't get it." Natsu says.
Meanwhile, Happy hears the two convers about the Spirit World and Celestial wizards seems to have him thinking about something as he stares blackly at them.
"Everblue's… key?" Happy says and all of the sudden, Happy screams out causing Natsu, Lucy, and Gray to all jump up into the air out of surprise. "Lucy… I remembered!" Happy says as he begins wavering his arms frantically with sweat flying out from his head and he slowly runs towards Lucy.
"Remember what?" Lucy asks, afraid of what it is dues to the other times he tried to tell her something.
"The thing I was talking about when we came here!" Happy yells so loud that his head grows bid and his eyes go white while Lucy turns into a chibi and flies in the air with a surprised look on her face.
"You mean when you called me weird?" Lucy says as she thinks back to the car when she was grabbing Natsu so he wouldn't jump out of the car while Happy was trying to think of something.
"Here!" Happy yells as he then pulls out the Celestial Spirit Virgo's key.
"That's Virgo's key!" Lucy yells in surprised and shock.
"Virgo…!" Sakura says and remembers what kind of magic that Virgo used.
Lucy grabs a hold of Happy's mouth and begins pulling and squeezing on it.
"You can't just go stealing things!" Lucy says to Happy.
"But Virgo herself said to give it to you!" Happy manages to get out through his narrowed mouth causing her to release him in shock.
"Sheesh. We don't have time to waste on this pointless crap." Gray says.
"Virgo?" Natsu says trying to remember who that was. "You mean that maid gorilla?"
"She said that since Everblue was arrested, his contract was broken. So she visited us and said she wanted to contract with you, Lucy." Happy says waving the key in front of her.
"Oh, so she showed up?" Lucy says in depressed tone just thinking of having that ugly spirit around. "I should be happy, but this isn't really the time, you know? We've got to think of a way out of here."
"But…" Happy tries to say something when Lucy begins to pull of his cheeks to shut him up.
"Shut up you! Little kitties should sit there and meow!" Lucy says as her face is covered by shadows and her eyes go black as behind her Gray is a bit frightened by her and Natus stare seemingly not caring about anything she's saying or sounding like.
"She can be pretty scary sometimes." Gray says.
"She's way stronger that you think!" Natsu says.
"Hey, doesn't Virgo dig holes in the ground and make tunnels so that we could use to get underneath the wall?" Sakura says.
And just like that, for a few seconds nothing but the blowing winds of the wall is heard as everyone remains quiet as they just take in what Sakura said.
"E―H!" Everyone but Happy screams out in shock.
"W-what?" Erza says.
"Seriously?!" Gray says.
"Uh…" Natsu says.
"I see!" Lucy yells realizing it.
Lucy grabs a hold of Happy as she begins waving him up and down with a very happy look on her face as she has her foot back up in the air.
"Way to go Happy! Why didn't you say something earlier?" Lucy asks.
"Because you were pinching me." Happy says with a straight and serious look on his face.
Lucy goes down on her knees as a spotlight shines on her with a small sign that says, 'Begging for Forgiveness' sits next to her.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll give you a reward later, I will! Please allow me to!" Lucy says as she cries her eyes out and continues to bow down in respect. "Anyway, just give me the key!" Lucy asks happily as she swings her arms together side to side kneeling upwards as Natsu, Gray and Sakura look on with sweat drops and like at the back of their heads.
"Okay! Looking forward to that reward!" Happy says with a glad look on his face.
Lucy takes the key as then everyone looks on at her, ready for her to summon the Spirit.
"I am linked to the path of the world of the Celestial Spirits! Now! O Spirit, answer the call and pass through the gate!" Lucy commands as the yellow magic circle appears around her. "Gate of the Maiden, I open thee! Virgo!" She yells as a yellow magic circle appears on the ground in front of the group. However, instead of the massive and grotesque maid that the group except Erza and Gray was expecting coming through, instead a much more petite-size and beautiful looking maid comes through, still with short pink hair and shackles on her wrists though. This confuses Lucy and Sakura who look on with shocking looks on their faces.
"You called, Master?" Virgo says, her voice no longer sounding like a brute, but a normal young woman.
"Who are you?" Lucy asks.
"Is that… Virgo, right?" Sakura asks.
"Hey Marco, you really slimmed down." Natsu says as he now stands in front of Virgo, not showing the least bit of being shocked of Virgo's transformation.
"My name is Virgo." Virgo corrects him. "I apologize for the trouble I caused you earlier."
"Slimmed down?! More like a different person!' Lucy yells with her eyes bulging out in shock as Sakura nods her head furiously.
"A different person?" Gray wonders.
"Uh… what's with that appearance?!" Lucy questions.
"I am a Celestial Spirit that is faithful to her master. I perform my duties in the appearance my master wishes." Virgo informs.
"You seemed a lot more powerful and forceful before though." Natsu says.
"Is that so? In that case…" Virgo all of a sudden begins glowing as she then transforms back into her grotesque version frightening Lucy, Gray and Sakura. "I shall return to this form." She finishes now in her deep voice.
"Why'd you have to go and say that?! I prefer the slim version!" Lucy yells as Virgo then transforms back to her slimmer version.
"Understood." Virgo says in her normal voice as then the three calms down letting out a sigh of relief.
"Anyways, we don't have time. Can we postpone the contract till later?" Lucy asks.
"Understood, Master." Virgo says.
"Stop calling me that already would you?" Lucy asks as unbeknownst to her, Virgo seems to be eyeing the whip of her hip.
"Then shall I can you queen?" Virgo asks.
"Rejected."
"Then Princess?" Virgo asks again.
"Hmm, that might be nice." Lucy says with a gleeful smirk with stars sparkling around her as Natsu and Gray look on at the two with black stares as they then turn black and white.
"So that's her thing huh?" Gray asks.
"Anyway hurry up." Natsu says.
"Then, I will proceed." Virgo says with a bow as the ground around her lights up and she all of a sudden goes right into the ground.
"Ooh, she's digging!" Gray says impressed.
"Good going, Lucy!" Erza says as she then slams against her armor giving her version of a hug.
"Ouch!" Lucy exclaims from the pain of being slammed into her armor.
"Okay everyone, into that hole!" Gray says when he hears Natsu picking something up and turns to see him carrying Kageyama on his shoulder. "What are you doing, Natsu?"
"Havin' him died after I fought with him will leave a bad taste in my mouth." Natsu says as Erza sees this and smiles.
"Anyway, let's hurry and get out of here!" Sakura says and they all go into the hole to exit out of the magic wind wall.
Outside of the Wind Wall
"We're out!" Gray yells as he and Erza look at the still Wind Wall still surrounding the station.
"Hurry onward!" Erza says.
"Wow, what wind!" Lucy exclaims as he keeps her eyes shut to keep the dirt from blinding and covering one of her ears from the loud noise of the wall.
"Princess! Your underwear can be seen!" Virgo says as she kneels down behind Lucy and holds her skirt down, but due to the wind, her maid skirt is also blowing from the wind as Gray, who is behind the Celestial Spirit, see under her skirt causing him to look on with wide-eyes and his face blushing as steam comes from his head.
"How about worrying about yourself?" Lucy asks feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Whoa there…" Gray says.
"It's no use… You'll never be able to catch up now. We… win…" A now conscious but still injured Kageyama manages to say as Lucy, Gray, and Erza look down to him.
"Hm, where's Natsu?" Erza asks as she then notices a dragon slayer missing as then the others notices this as well.
"Happy's not here either." Gray adds.
"Neither are Sakura and Latias." Lucy points out.
Clover Canyon
Erigor flies at high speed over Clover Canyon, getting closer to the Guild Masters at their meeting. Soon, the town came within his view.
"That's the town… Just you wait, you old geezers!" Erigor says.
Just then, Erigor hears someone yell out right behind him as he turns his head.
"How do you like Happy's max speed!?" Natsu yells as he holds onto the flying Happy who seems to be giving his all so they could reach Erigor before he got to the town. Erigor is taken surprise, allowing Natsu deliver a flaming kick into his face, causing an explosion as he rockets down onto the train tracks below. Natsu lands on the tracks in a knelt position as he looks up and catches a falling down and exhausted Happy.
"Happy!" Natus says, worried for him.
"I can't fly anymore…" Happy says in a weak voice as sweat runs down his face, exhausted from all the magic he used so the two could catch up to Erigor.
"Thanks to you I was able to catch up with him." Natus says.
"D-damn you!" Natsu hears Erigor curse from behind as he turns his head and see Erigor standing back up, but bruised from Natsu's attack. "You're from Fairy Tail. Why are you here?" He questions.
"Natsu then coats both of his hands on a massive ball of fire as he stares angrily at the Eisenwald wizard. "To defeat you, you blowhard! So bring it! I'll incinerate that dangerous flute!"
"You broke out from the magic wind wall? What pests you flies are. Let my through. Begone." Erigor says as he holds up his hand and a purple magic circle appears. All of a sudden, a strong blast of wind hits Natus who attempts to hold his ground but is beginning to push his way through the wind.
"Natsu! Dodge it!" Sakura yells and a yellow, electric ball shoots pass Natsu and hits the magic circle. Natsu turns around and sees Latias is carrying Sakura with her gloved hand yellow and sparks appear on her fingers.
"What?!" Erigor says shocked.
"Sakura!?" Natsu says in surprised.
"I thought you need a little help." Sakura says and Natsu smiles, glad to have some help.
"Another one of you Fairy Tail fly, huh? It doesn't matter, I'll take you both down!" Erigor says,
"Let's go, Natsu!" Sakura says as Natsu slams his fist together into his palm.
"Yeah!" Natsu yells in agreement and he covers his arms and legs in fire as he jumps up high into the air, coming down right at Erigor as he slams his left fist into the ground from Erigor jumping back to avoid the attack. Natsu recovers from the failed attack and launches himself at Erigor again who manages to block the attack with his sythe.
"What? He jumps and punches with flames? And such force! I'd never think a wizard could punch like that!" Erigor thought with surprised look on his face.
"Thunder Punch!" Erigor looks up hearing this as he then sees Sakura jump up in the air and comes down at him with her fist is surrounded with yellow electricity about to punch him. Natsu jumps back allowing Sakura to punch Erigor as Erigor barely dodges Sakura's attack."
"Damn you! Stop flutterin' around up there, it ain't fair! Get down here and fight like a man!" Natsu yells in anger.
"Don't get cocky, fly!" Erigor yells in anger as he swings his left arm. Suddenly, the ground beneath Natsu and Sakura begins to glow purple. Sakura takes notice of this and turns to Latias.
"Latias, get away!" Sakura yells, but a massive tornado shoots upward as Natsu and Sakura get caught in it, but Latias luckily didn't get caught in the tornado.
"Storm Bringer!" Erigor yells.
Natsu and Sakura are blown around throughout the strong tornado.
"Natsu, Sakura!" Happy calls still weak as he attempts to summon back his wings but fails to due having used up too much magic and still trying to recover. "It's no use! I don't have enough magic power!"
Soon after, the tornado dies down as both Sakura and Natsu are sent flying from it. Latias sees her trainer and flies to her, subsequently, Sakura lands on Latias back. As for Natsu, he us unlucky as he is sent falling down into the canyon below.
"Hmph. Flames can't help him fly!" Erigor says with a victorious smile, having of gotten rid of one of the Fairy Tail wizards."
"Natsu!" Happy and Sakura yell.
For the moment they look at the spot where Natsu fell and all of the sudden a massive pillar of fire erupts from the canyon catching everyone in the area off guard. The fire transforms into a gigantic flaming hand which then grabs onto the train tracks, Sakura and Latias looks down the side of the tracks and spot Natsu, using the fire to pull himself back up to the tracks.
"Natsu!" Happy yells in joy.
"Amazing…" Sakura trails off.
The fire disappears as Natsu lands right in front of Happy, Sakura, and Latias.
"That was close. Changing the properties of the fire, huh? I did it, Macao." Natsu says tightening his right fist and looking at it with a smile.
"What the heck was that?" Erigor questions, still shock at what he just saw.
"You must be cold being all naked like that. How about I warm you up?" Natsu asks Erigor.
"I don't see you wearing a parka either!" Erigor yells.
"You ready to finish this, Sakura?" Natsu asks as he slams his fists.
"Yes!" Sakura replies and she gets ready for another attack.
"I'll blow you away! Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu yells as he breathes a torrent of fire at Erigor.
"Storm Wall!" Erigor quickly yells as a purple magic circle appears in front of him, blocking the attack.
"Thunderbolt!" Sakura yells releasing a strong electric blast at Erigor from her gloved hand.
"Storm Wall!" Erigot yells again bringing up his defensive magic as the blast comes into contact with the purple magic circle. Erigor struggles to keep his defensive up as the thunderbolt continues pushing Erigor. The magic circle then appears to start cracking, startling Erigor. "What! This can't be!" Erigor says and the electric blast breaks through and Erigor struck by the blast and causes an explosion.
"What with these two? One attacks randomly with fire, the other electric! So, this is what Fairy Tail wizards are like?" Erigor thought.
"It seems that I've greatly underestimate your powers a bit. How about we get serious now? All three of us." Erigor says.
"I'm gettin' fired up!" Natsu says.
"Storm Mail!" Erigor yells as he releases the grip of his scythe and twists it around in front of him, a purple magic circle appearing in front of him as a large gust of wind shoots out form it.
Natsu and Sakura look as the wind now blows around them, the two then notices how Erigor appears to be completely surrounded all over by wind, his eyes glows whitely though the wind as he then sends strong torrent of wind towards the two. Natsu and Sakura both jump over the attack and Natsu launches himself at Erigor, throwing a fire punch at him. However, Natsu's attack is rebounded off the wind and blasts backwards.
"What's the matter? That all you got?" Erigor asks Natsu as he lands back on the ground in knelt down position.
"Damn it, now he's gone and wrapped himself in something more annoying!" Natsu says.
"Umm Natsu, it's more like a wind armor around him. And a strong one too." Sakura tells him.
"Whatever the case, I'll tear it to shreds!" Natsu exclaims as he slams his fists together, coating his right fist in fire as he launches himself at Erigor.
"Wait, Natsu!" Sakura yells.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yells as he slams his fist into Erigor's fist, but in just a few seconds, his fire is blown away. "What!? What happened? The flame disappeared!?"
"As I thought… Without wrapping yourself in those flames, you don't have that destructive power. Looks like it's no longer effective." Erigor says to Natsu. Suddenly, the wind explodes outward from Erigor's Storm Mail sending the two sliding back away from him. "The Storm Mail's winds constantly blow outward. Don't you get it? Flames can't stand up to a headwind!"
"Say what?!" Natsu says.
"Flame can never defeat wind, and the weak wind is always going to be blown away by the stronger wind!" Erigor yells as he hovers up into the air with his arms outwards to his side.
"Then I have to get ready to use 'that' move soon. After all, since he is in the air, he is the perfect target." Sakura thought as few yellow sparks appear around her gloved hand.
