S.R: So far only one person in the reviews has bothered trying to point out where Yamuraiha came from, but they didn't want the 50 points to whatever house they were in at Hogwarts that I wanted to give them, so I have to announce 50 points to Ravenclaw because I'll take those points for my house.

Natsu: Was there a point to that?

S.R: Nope, just felt like saying it and being silly. Side Note: I've had a couple people pm me and one or two reviews saying that the bold text for the attacks and abilities is distracting. I acknowledge that and agree that the suggestion of using italics would be better but, for now I'm sticking with the bold.

Natsu: Why stick with the bold print?

S.R: I want it to draw attention. It's meant to be that way, because it brings more attention to the action. Any who I think it's time to get on with the story.

NATSU'S POV

After taking a few minutes to recompose myself after the talk with Gramps and Gildarts, I walked back up into the guild from the basement. Sharing a look with Erza and Mira, I had everyone that was involved in the defense of the council members both former and present gather in one of the side rooms with the two we had escorted back to the guild. Gildarts following to join in as well.

Yajima quickly thanked Jellal and Ultear for their help, while Michello at first tried to have them arrested though he did calm down and thank them after a bit. Before anything else could happen Gildarts spoke up. Apparently while we had gone to protect the council members, Gramps sent him to do some recon work.

Gildarts had discovered Tartaros's guild hall, explaining to us that it was a giant floating fortress that could move, Michello butted in to tell us it was referred to as "The Cube" because they could manipulate it to become a fortified cube. Gildarts continued on by mentioning that it was heading towards Magnolia when he found it, but he also stated that he had seen council chairman Crawford Seam entering the cube though his movements seemed forced.

"This is going to be even tougher than I thought. Either Seam is working with them or they have a member that can control him like a puppet. That means they might already know of our plans."

"Calm down, we can still turn this around" Gramps spoke up pulling his Saint's medallion out from under his shirt, and activated the communication lacrima hidden inside. He informed the four Wizard Saints that weren't in the room about Gildarts' find. After a long and lengthy talk it was decided we'd bring everyone to Fairy Tail and fortify our position, while a strike team would go and defeat Tartaros.

"Gildarts and I will be here with Yajima and Michello. Natsu, when the others get here take whoever you want with you and infiltrate the Tartaros guild hall. Do not separate unless you have to. If you need to put them down like you did Torafuzar, then do it my boy."

I hesitated for a moment before nodding at Gramps' words. I could tel that other than Gramps and Gildarts everyone else was wondering what he meant at the end there but I chose not to explain. Walking out of the room I went straight out the back door to the clearing behind the guild hall. Jellal, Ultear, Erza, Mira, and Gray followed me and tried to press me on what Gramps meant. But after looking at my sullen expression they dropped it. Ignoring them I followed an old trail into the forest behind the guild. Eventually making it to my destination, and surprisingly finding that I didn't need to make what I wanted.

"Natsu what is this?" I heard Mira ask. Since I planned to use this time to restore everyone back to full strength and possibly get a bit of practicing in I explained that I had made this cabin back when I first came to the guild.

"Inside the cabin I have it set up with all the materials I need to brew a special drink that triples the drinkers magic recovery rate… I haven't actually needed to use this drink in a long time so I'm surprised to find that I don't need to brew more. But I want us all to drink it so that we can be back to 100% before the other Saints get here with the council members their guarding."

I had Erza re-equipsome cups for everyone so we could all get a drink. At that point I started a silent conversation with the spirit of Jotunn since I was still wearing the Crown of Dragons. He and I discussed teaching my mates the basics of Dragon Slaying magic so that they could use the full power of his weapons that I had grabbed earlier. But after realizing we'd only have a few hours at best I we decided to hold off on teaching them Dragon Slaying magic. But I'd give them the weapons anyway since they still offered a significant power boost.

Erza was given the Dragon's Fangs, which was a set of twin swords fashioned from a fang that Chilthreya had given Jotunn to make weapons with. The twin swords had a slight curve to them and had an edge on both sides, though what made them unique looking besides being covered in permanent frost was the fact that the hilts were patterned to look like dragon wings. Even without access to the Dragon Slaying magic inside them Erza quickly discovered she could use them to launch small chunks of ice that were shaped like darts.

I gave Mira the Dragon's Claws. Unsurprisingly the Dragon's Claws were a set of bladed gauntlets, made to look scaly just like a dragon's hand. They were made from the icy blue scales of Chilthreya and each fists' claws were made from one of her talons as well. Though the claws are only five and a half inches long, they were made and attached in such a way that flexing your hands just right made them retract into a special sleeve that was hidden inside the bracer part of the gauntlets to help reinforce your arms if you needed to block an attack.

After some grumbling and discussions Ultear finally realized I was being serious earlier when I had told her I would like to have her as a mate as well and officially joined Erza and Mira as my mate. Once we had settled that issue I gave her the Stave of Frost-Fire from Jotunn's weapons. Out of the three weapon sets I had given my mates Ultear's was the most unique. It was actually made from Jotunnn's magic, essentially being a staff made from ice. But since it was made from his magic it was exceptionally durable, and completely impervious to heat. It also has the unique ability to bend, twist, and shrink or expand as if it was in a liquid form. Ultear deciding to use it as an ace in the hole shrunk it down and bent it till it could be worn as a bracelet.

Moving aside from my mates so they could get used to their new weapons I pulled Gray with me hoping to at least get started on learning to use my new magic so I could properly use it. Though I sent Jellal back to the guild with a cup of my magic recovery brew to have Laxus drink it as I hoped he'd be up and ready to go again when it came time to attack Tartaros in their guild hall.

A few hours later after learning the basics to my new ice themed magic, we made our way back into the guild hall to meet up with the girls and Jellal. Laxus was back up and ready to go after getting out of the infirmary. The entire time Gray and I were training I was thinking on who all to take, and who to leave to protect the guild. Eventually I settled on the same people that were sent out to protect the guild masters minus the Thunder Legion since from what I heard they were useless against the demon that Laxus fought. I decided to have Erza, Mira, and Ultear act as a back up team if something went wrong, though they were going to set up a makeshift base of operation for us to fall back to if we needed healing. Which left Gray, Laxus, and Jellal to come with me. I thought about having one of the other Saint's accompany us but in the end I decided that a smaller group would have an easy time going unnoticed when infiltrating Tartaros's guild hall.

Thankfully the girls understood my plan and were okay with it. With all the planning out of the way we sat down at a table close to the door and waited for Jura, Yamuraiha, Wolfheim, and Hyberion to show up with the council members they were guarding. It wasn't long before I felt Jura and Yamuraiha approaching with the current council members.

As they walked in I offered a nod to the two, and pointed out the side room where Yajima and Michello were staying. They nodded back as they lead the council to the room. Yamuraiha offered us a wave as well, which lead to Gray and Laxus both elbowing me in the sides with a teasing comment about being popular. Thankfully Erza, Mira, and Ultear didn't notice.

Surprisingly and extremely fortunate for us the next person to walk into the guild was Gajeel. He was already out on a job and wasn't part of a team to protect the council members but he was just as strong as Gray if not stronger so I roped him into our battle party.

Not even a full minute after I had explained the situation to Gajeel I felt the presence of Hyberion and Wolfheim entering the city. Standing up I motioned for everyone coming with me to get ready. As the two walked in Yamuraiha walked out of the side room and motioned them to the room before walking up to me. Apparently she had a previous encounter with a few of the demon gates of Tartaros so she wanted to join us. Thinking it over for a moment I agreed but I asked if she'd stay back at wherever our makeshift base since I had learned from Gramps that she was an exceptional healer.

At first she argued that she should be one of the ones confronting them but once she heard that I was planning on her being the healer she relented, since our group was ridiculously over oriented for battle. After that discussion was ended we left the guild hall and made our way towards the location Gildarts mentioned finding The Cube. It didn't take long for us to find it, and when we did our group split up with my group speeding up.

Once we were close enough Gray used his Ice Make: Stairs to give us a way up to the Cube, with Gajeel turning his arm into a saw to cut a hole in the wall for us to enter. Before I could blink however we were attacked and seperated.

Quickly taking stock of the situation I discovered that I was blind-sided by a fairly powerful demon. Based on the few things I had learned while talking to Yamuraiha on our way here I figured he was one of the Demon Gates.

"I don't have time to play around here, So forgive me for not holding back" I spoke powering up quickly. Not wanting to take any chances I activated my Lighting Flame Dragon Form and shot forward at the demon that had attacked me. I threw my right fist forward in front of me only for the demon to block my punch with his staff, though I hit hard enough to make the staff shatter.

"It doesn't matter how serious you take me, I'll win… I suppose I should tell you the name of your executioner though. I am Franmalth."

As he spoke up I was nailed in the side by one of his fists. Reacting quickly I grabbed the fist before he could retract it and used my Lightning Flame Dragon's Grip Strike only to be shocked as Franmalth absorbed it.

"You see!? Your power means nothing against me! My Absorption Curse is the ultimate counter to magic!"

Franmalth cried out with glee as he used his curse to use my magic against me, unleashing a barrage of blows on me before I could even react. Thanks to the training my Lighting Flame Dragon Form now granted me complete immunity to Lighting magic, on top of the fact that I was already completely immune to Fire magic. Thus his attacks were only powered by his natural strength, which was nothing compared to my insane durability.

After a few seconds I read his attack pattern and was countering his fists with my own. During this time Franmalth was ranting about his curse and how it works, constantly saying that because of how it works he was unbeatable by any mage. As he continued on I began to make a plan to defeat him. During a lull in his speech, I deactivated my Lighting Flame Dragon Form and lunged forward headbutting Franmalth and launching him away. Quickly resetting myself I bent over and shoved my arms into the ground, ripping out a huge chunk of rock. Using the giant slab of stone I had pulled up as a bat I swung it into Franmalth's side forcing him against the wall.

Unfortunately I was too strong and the force of my swing caused it to break apart into rubble, though I snatched a few pieces up and threw them as hard as I could at him, smiling when I saw that they were doing a decent bit of damage.

"You're Curse is the perfect counter to magic eh? Well then lets see how you fare against my brute strength!" I taunted as I found an opportunity to slam my fists into Franmalth's face, though I winced when I pulled away as I managed to hit hard enough for a couple of his teeth to become embedded in my knuckles.

"You Dar-" Was all he got out before I started raining blows on him, hard enough that he began staggering as he tried to stand back up and continue fighting me. Thankfully he wasn't able to match up to my power and was overwhelmed and passed out. At that point I instinctively knew that I could use my Hellfire, to end him the same way I did Torafuzar. I hesitated for a moment before deciding to go through with it.

"Your Curse is too dangerous to just leave you here. I'm sorry to do this but I can't risk you recovering and defeating my friends" I started as I gathered my magic.

'Hey dragon blood, what is the proper chant and name for this spell?'

'It's kinda rude of you to call me that but we can talk about that later. Also you already instinctively know since you were able to use it last time so don't ask me.'

Sighing in response to my dragon's blood I closed my eyes. Letting my built up magic out I imagined it swirling around Franmalth's body. As I did I heard the spell chant and name in my head.

"You who are to be cast to hell, your soul has been unbound from this world as punishment. Hellfire Dragon's Secret Art Damnation's Calling: Flames of Banishment"

As I finished speaking I opened my eyes again and watched as the swirling flames slowly shrunk burning Franmalth's body until not even ash had remained before slowly dying out. As the last few embers blinked out I felt Erza and Mira's magic rising. Even though I wanted to run to their side I had to believe they could hold their own. I turned away and made my way deeper into the Cube looking for the Tartaros guild master, hoping that taking him out would be enough to cause the other demons to surrender, or at the very least retreat.


S.R:Okay I'll admit I changed the spell from last chapter. Why? Well I rushed the naming process last time and didn't really like it, which is why if you go back Natsu has a chat with the Dragon's Blood inside him about the spell. Also I have closed the poll on my next story. After thinking it over I decided that since the Pokemon story is supposed to be a One Shot, I'll do it the next time I have free time but don't feel like working on any of the stories currently up. Instead once Fairy Dragon's Family is done I will be doing the Highschool DxD story.
