Team Natsu and the One Ring: The Two Towers

Happy Belated New Year! I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! My New Year's resolution is that I want to try to update more frequently than I used to (emphasis on try). Anyway, here's chapter 15 of Team Natsu and the One Ring! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own Fairy Tail or LOTR.


Chapter 15 Tracking The Uruk-hai

The remaining Fellowship which consisted of Natsu, Gray, Erza, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir continued to give chase after the Uruk-hai to rescue their captured friends Wendy, Carla, Merry, and Pippin from their clutches. Only stopping occasionally when they needed to rest before continuing on, which was mostly due to Boromir still recovering from his wounds. Natsu, Gray, and Erza proved fast enough to keep up but also held back to avoid running too far ahead of the others.

Natsu was mostly in the lead tracking by scent as he continued to sniff at the air, though he suddenly paused when he sensed that the Uruk-hai were now moving at a much more faster pace. "Uh, hey Aragorn? I think we got a problem here," the Fire Dragon Slayer pointed out.

Aragorn could be seen on the ground with his ear pressed firmly against a rock listening to the Uruk-hai's footsteps. "Yes, their pace has quickened. They must have caught our scent," he replied while pulling himself up off the ground once more. "Hurry!" he called back to the others before racing on ahead after Natsu.

Erza, still in her Caduceus Armor, had just finished up changing the bandages on Boromir's wound before they soon hurried after them. Legolas was right behind them as he looked back over his shoulder briefly while calling out, "Come on, Gimli! And Gray!", as the dwarf appeared to be falling behind a bit.

"Three days and nights pursuit. No food, no rest, and no sign of our quarry but what bare rock can tell," Gimli could be heard muttering as he hurried to keep up with the others. Though the dwarf paused a moment to glance back at the Ice Mage. "Are you doing alright there, Gray?" he called back to him.

Gray had only let himself fall behind due to just having a lot on his mind now lately regarding the ring's possession of him, as well as the shocking revelation of END's identity that had possessed him into fighting against and trying to kill Natsu. It had also ended up putting a huge strain on his friendship with the Fire Dragon Slayer now that the Ice Mage was now aware of his identity as END, the most powerful demon in the Book of Zeref. He had been so lost in thought that he failed to notice that he had started to fall behind. He looked over at hearing Gimli call out to him. "Yeah I'm fine," he replied just to stubbornly avoid talking about it.

Gray then hurried to keep up while only pausing occasionally to help Gimli keep up so the dwarf wouldn't keep falling behind, though at the same time Gray and Erza would also occasionally alternate between carrying Boromir as well while he still recovered from his wounds, so sometimes Erza would fall back to help Gimli keep up as well.

They continued to run across the mountainous terrain, still in the same direction the Uruk-hai were headed in with their captured friends, until they soon came across the spot where Pippin's brooch and Wendy's hair ribbon still lay in the grass where they had been dropped for them to find. Or rather, where they would have still been laying in the grass had it not been for the Demon Card members picking both the brooch and hair ribbon up earlier and taking them in order to prevent the remaining Fellowship from finding any clues regarding their captured friends still being alive.

Natsu continued sniffing the air for the Uruk-hai's scent, though he ended up catching another scent that made him freeze.

"What happened? You still have their scent don't you?" Aragorn inquired worriedly at noticing the Fire Dragon Slayer's expression change.

Natsu slowly nodded. "Uh huh... But that ain't the problem. We got company, and it ain't friendly...," he said, right as the others had soon caught up with them.

Gray and Erza had suddenly sensed the presence of Dark Mages nearby as well. And right on cue, a pair of powerful golden blasts aimed towards the group at full speed, which Erza immediately responded. "Get behind me!" she commanded.

The remaining Fellowship members complied and stood behind Titania in the face of the incoming attack.

"Requip! Adamantine Armor!" She turned her basic Heart Kreuz outfit into a heavily blue armored suit with two bladed shields which she joins together to create an Adamantine Barrier in the form of a huge Magic circle in front of her.

The golden laser blasts clashed with the Adamantine Barrier but Erza stood strong and held her ground to protect her allies even though her feet formed a trench on the ground due to the intensity of the attack.

Then the attack was halted and Erza dispersed the cracked Adamantine Barrier but stood guard. Taking a peek behind her joined shields, she saw a giant armored man with smoking glowing golden eyes from a far distance and thought, 'So he is the one behind it. And his eye laser power is dangerous.'

After the coast was clear, Aragorn glanced at the two straight trench lines. "What sorcery is this?" he asked in shock to see such power.

Gray answered, "Magic from Earth Land. And that's the not-so-friendly company Natsu mentioned."

Suddenly, the armored behemoth drew his massive sword and charged at the remaining Fellowship in great speed to attack Erza. He swung his blade and sent Erza flying with a powerful golden slash before following her.

"Erza!" Natsu and Gray called out to their guildmate in concern before several orbs appeared around them.

"Luminous Minutes!" Ultear called out and sent her orbs to attack the Fire Dragon Slayer and Ice-Make Mage in all directions.

The two Fairy Tail members cried out in pain but eventually they used their fire and ice to destroy the attacking orbs. But suddenly, Natsu is punched in the face by a dirty blonde man who wields a large thick sword strapped at his back, leaving Gray alone with Ultear.

Facing the assailant whom he recognized all too well, Gray paled his face in shock and said, "Ultear!? What are you doing? Why are you attacking us? And why are you looking so young?"

Smiling in a sultry manner and making a sexy pose, the daughter of Ur answered, "To be honest, I got a little bored of retirement and old age that was forced upon me, Gray. So I decided to get some magic rejuvenation from Demon Card, one of Grimoire Heart's former subordinate Dark Guilds and voila! My old sexy me is back!"

"I don't believe you. You wouldn't join a Dark Guild out of nowhere! After all you had done to atone for your sins!" Gray retorted in anger as he had a gut feeling that something is wrong with Ultear and fired a series of ice lances at her.

Ultear responded by swiping her hand to turn the ice into mist with her Arc of Time before stomping her foot to cause a powerful rose-like ice eruption on Gray. "Oh what can I say? I've always been such a bad girl and it's good to be back on my roots!"

The disciple of Ur ate the ice in response, activating his Ice Devil Slayer Magic. "In that case, I'll beat the crap out of whatever nonsense Demon Card put in your head and return you to your senses!"

Then the two mages of ice clashed. On the other hand, Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Boromir were faced with a green-haired woman in a red strapless dress.

"Silver-Make: Silver Emperor!" Reina summoned a giant armored ruler with a sword made of silver and directed it against the two Men, a Dwarf, and an Elf.

Gimli roared and swung his new magic warhammer to clash with the silver creation of their enemy and the shockwave pushed it back before Legolas fired explosive magic arrows at it. Aragorn and Boromir charged at the Silver Emperor and used the magic swords to cut off the legs, making it collapse.

Reina remarked as she summoned magic circles that created five more Silver Emperors, "Impressive. You took down my Silver Emperor, and those weapons are mass produced for the army of Isengard. Try not to die, boys. It would be a shame if you did."

The remaining Fellowship are unnerved by the fact that Isengard created an army with this Dark Guild supplying them with weapons that bode ill for Middle-Earth. And that their enemy from Earth Land can create metal soldiers.

Gimli, after being pushed back by another Silver Emperor, found himself closer to Reina. He gave a quick glance, looking for an opportunity to attack his foe. But Reina smiled at him and made a seductive pose. Very seductive.

"Like what you see, tiny man?" she asked with a very sweet tone, but Gimli spit on the ground at this sight.

"Khagun Menu Penu shriumund!" He said, disgusted, "Metun menu rukhas, imrid amrad ursul!"

She looked at him, both in surprise and slight anger, not sure how to react to his language. This slight distraction made her Silver Emperors turn towards the Dwarf, instead of attacking Aragorn and Boromir, who exchanged quick looks at one another.

"What did you say?" she asked coldly, and Gimli prepared his warhammer and also gave a quick look to Legolas, and the elf quickly got the message.

"Llie n'vanima ar'lle atara lanneina," Legolas said to her, confusing her even more, "Auta miqula orqu," he added, causing Aragorn to grin.

"Are you mocking me!?" She finally realized, shocked to her core.

"Of course!" Gimli answered, "In comparison to Galadriel, you look like nobody. And you lack a beard too! Not to mention working with damn orcs!"

"Nobody... beard?..." she gave Gimli a furious stare, "Oh, now you made it personal, midget! KILL HIM!" And all Silver Emperors launched at Gimli, who smiled in victory

"NOW!" he yelled, and both Aragorn and Boromir charged at her, their swords ready to strike. When Reina realised what she had done, two warriors already got close to her.

Meanwhile, Natsu dodged and blocked Jegan's massive sword before engulfing his fist with flames. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" he yelled.

Jegan responded with a breath attack, "Wood Dragon Roar!" A powerful blast of violent wind filled with sharp leaves and wood shrapnel fired from his mouth and sent Natsu flying.

"A Dragon Slayer!?" the son of Igneel shouted in surprise.

"Yes I am, Captain Obvious, and I will slay you!" Jegan stated before attacking his enemy as the battle between Dragon Slayer rages on.

As Natsu is pushed back by Jegan, he gets attacked by a new enemy and sent flying away after being dropkicked in the chest. He looked up to see an amber-color scaled baby Dragon whose size is like that of a car. It roared at him in a cute and menacing way with Jegan walking next to it and gave a comforting pat on the head.

"A Dragon?! How? Where did you get that?!" Natsu demanded, shocked to see one.

"I just found her egg and hatched her. Thought she was an Exceed. Kept her safe from Acnologia and Diabolos. That's all you need to know," the 2nd Generation Forest Dragon Slayer coldly said before ordering, "Terra! Destroy him!"

The baby Dragon opened her jaw and called out in an adorable bellow, "Earth Dragon Roar!"

She unleashed a powerful breath attack of rock shrapnels towards Natsu who uses his own fire breath attack to counter it immediately.

"Fire Dragon Roar!"

Their roars clashed and caused a big explosion that shook the battlefield between Fairy Tail and their allies and Demon Card.

When the smoke cleared, Natsu saw Terra flying towards him at full speed and Jegan was riding the baby Dragon. "Earth Dragon's Sword Horn!" she yelled and slammed the son of Igneel in the chest with her head.

Natsu spits out blood from the impact but grits his teeth. He grabbed the baby Dragon's snout and planted his feet on the ground with his super strength before judo flipping her into the sky, sending her and Jegan flying.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu threw a large fireball at the two.

"Wood Dragon's Roar!" Jegan unleashed his breath attack of wood shrapnels toward Natsu's attack and exploded in the air.

Terra regained her balance to catch her partner and dive-bombed at Natsu. "Earth Dragon Stone Fist!" she used her rock-imbued clenched claw to punch the Fire Dragon Slayer which smashed him into a skipping stone on the ground.

Jegan jumped off of Terra's back and swung his great sword at Natsu at full force but the latter caught it with his bare hands which caused a bigger shockwave as a result. Kicking him away with his fire-imbued feet, Natsu gets back up on his feet and sees that Jegan is mildly injured and Terra is flying to him, affectionately rubbing him with her snout.

"Damn, this is getting harder than I thought," Natsu muttered before resuming battle.

Meanwhile Legolas aimed to hit another Silver Emperor with an explosive arrow to support Gimli in his desperate defense, but he saw Natsu struggling against the dragon, and idea came to his mind

"Natsu!" He yelled and sent an explosive arrow before Dragon Slayer's feet, causing grass to catch fire.

Natsu quickly ate the flames, and grinned towards his two opponents

"Now, I've got a fire in my belly! I owe ya one, pointy-ear!" he said to Legolas, who nodded and turned to Gimli, just to see one of the Silver Emperors hitting so hard, that dwarf went flying across the battlefield.

On the other hand, Erza in her Flight Armor and Brosnan exchanged blows of their swords as they struck, blocked and parried each other rapidly at great speed. Then they made a blade lock against each other. "Golden Eye Magic: Heat Ray!" he yelled as his pair of glowing golden eyes fired at his opponent.

With no way to dodge, Erza was struck directly on the chest and got sent crashing on the ground. "Oh God, that burns. It's as if I got a direct sunlight blast...," she cried out in pain as her body was wracked with pain and burns.

"Is that all you got, Titania? I am disappointed," Brosnan taunted as he swung his blade which Erza immediately dodged.

Erza demanded as she kept up the offensive even though the giant armored man was blocking them, "Who are you and what are you doing here in Middle-Earth?"

"Well, I shall indulge you before you and your friends die. I am Brosnan the Golden Eyes. My companions and I are from Demon Card and our master Gael Raregroove joined forces with that old guy in white robes named Saruman for the conquest of Middle-Earth. And our mission is to kill you guys right here!" Brosnan explained before punching Erza with his armored fist.

"You got sloppy Gray," Ultear taunted, " I expected you to put up a better fight than this."

"Don't make me hurt you, Ultear!" Gray, preparing Ice Lance in his hand, "I know this isn't real you, wake up!"

"Ugh, Can you stop? I told you already that..."

"Maybe a solid kick in the head will make you return to your senses," Gray interrupted her

"Kick in...?" She said just before the Dwarf in heavy armor crashed into her...


Hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Credit to Warmachine375 for help with the fight scene between the remaining Fellowship vs Demon Card members. Sorry for the cliffhanger, btw. But I was just worried that readers might think I'm rushing through the whole fight scene if I were to post it all in one chapter. So that's why I'm doing it this way. But don't worry, the rest of the fight scene will still continue. In the meantime, enjoy this chapter and feel free to leave reviews. ^^

Had to add a few things that Djoklecjan (they used to be Konsilisto, but changed their user name) suggested. Thanks for the idea of having Gimli insult Reina in Dwarvish, and Legolas insulting her in Elvish. That was hilarious, and it's still stuck in my head.

Here's the translation for both of them courtesy of Djoklecjan:

Gimli's insult to Reina in Dwarvish: "Khagun Menu Penu shriumund! Metun menu rukhas, imrid amrad ursul!" Translated: "Your mother had no beard! You dine with orcs, die a death of fire!"

And Legolas' insult to Reina in Elvish: "Llie n'vanima ar'lle atara lanneina. Auta miqula orqu." Translated: "You are ugly, and your mother dresses you funny. Go kiss an orc."

Lol! Thanks again for this small idea Djoklecjan. I love it!

Anyway, enjoy!
