A/N: Hey guys! How's it going? Hopefully you've read the last chapter that came "only" yesterday, couldn't make it sooner, sorry… Anyway, onto the story! Don't forget to review the story so that I can improve it! Thanks!
Chapter 9 – Lightning and Flames Clash! The second Match-up!
Natsu looked at Master Makarov.
"Gramps? Why did he have a Fairy tail Guild Mark?" Asked Natsu, surprising everyone in the guild.
"He's a Fairy tail member. Just like the lot of you, but he left a long time ago, he told me he needed to become stronger. Back then he was as weak as a little kid when it came to magical power. How did he acquire such prowess? That is my question." Said Makarov.
(Flashback)
A young man got close to Master, as he was drinking his beer.
"What can I do for you, my child?" He asked.
"Master, I have to become stronger. I wasn't able to protect her back then; I wasn't able to protect nobody back then. I was too weak, master, don't think that I'm leaving the guild, because this guild is my family and pride, but this is something I have to do, I have to go, I will one day become the 1st Ranked in the 10 wizard saints, and just watch me!" He said as he picked up his cloak and apologized to master.
"I understand Child. Follow your heart!" He said as the young man walked out of the guild.
(End Flashback.)
"Sorry, but we don't have time." Said Laxus as he left for the arena
Natsu started walking towards the entrance of the arena along with Laxus. "Come on Laxus! This time, you're going down even faster!" Shouted Natsu.
Laxus followed him, breaking a little smile.
They both entered the arena, putting themselves into battle position.
The referee came down to the two wizards as the commentator was announcing the match.
"The Second Semi Final is about to begin! Fairy tail's Salamander: NATSU DRAGNEEL! Vs Fairy Tail's Lightning dragon: LAXUS DREYAR!"
The referee waited for confirmation of both wizards, for the beginning of the battle.
(Play – Like a Whirlwind, Quick as Lightning)
The referee moved down his hand in a downward spiral.
"I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Shouted Natsu as flames involved his body, and as Lightning involved Laxus's body.
Natsu jumped towards Laxus trying to hit Laxus with a fast combo, making Laxus jump back. Natsu kept jumping after Laxus, as he was charging his power.
"LIGHTNING DRAGON'S HALBERD!" Shouted Laxus as he released a massive electrical wave from his hand, missing Natsu by a few centimeters, blowing up the wall behind Natsu.
"If you take me lightly this time, you're going to lose Natsu." Said Laxus.
Natsu jumped towards Laxus, this time hitting a fast combo, and kicking Laxus towards a wall.
Laxus used a back flip, and landed with his feet on the wall, using it as a booster to jump towards Natsu, who jumped sideways too dodge Laxus's Lightning fist.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Shouted Natsu as he jumped towards Laxus.
Laxus still had his back facing Natsu, as he had dodged Laxus's attack. Laxus quickly turned around and crossed his arms, as he didn't have time to dodge Natsu's blow.
Natsu's fist landed on Laxus's arms that were protecting his chest. Fire started involving Natsu's body, and Lightning started involving Laxus's body. The two started forcing their strength on their opponent. Natsu was trying to send Laxus flying against a wall, and Laxus was trying to make Natsu take a step back to land a blow on him as the crowd kept cheering the two wizards.
Natsu started moving Laxus back with sheer physical strength as Laxus was trying to stand his ground against a raging Natsu.
Natsu then took a step back, before Laxus tried to punch him in the face.
Natsu suddenly jumped over Laxus kicking him in the back of his head.
This surprised Akashi, that was patiently watching in the stands.
"So, you've copied my technique. I see." He whispered.
Laxus got up after hitting with his face on the wall and jumped towards Natsu, trying to hit him with a large number of well timed punches, sending Natsu flying against a wall.
Natsu came out running, this time ready to get back into battle.
Natsu jumped, with fire on his legs, trying to hit an air kick combo.
Natsu missed his kicks, letting Laxus hit him in the stomach, making him fly back, Natsu flipped back, landing with his legs on the ground.
Natsu charged his fire power in his hands before jumping.
"Join the flames of my right hand, with the flames of my left hand, and you get…"
"FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAMES!" He shouted, sending a powerful fire ball against Laxus.
Right after impact, there was a huge explosion. Everyone stood up from their seats to check if laxus was actually alive.
Laxus jumped from the smoke, heavily injured, trying to hit Natsu.
""DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART! ROARING THUNDER!" Shouted Laxus, before punching Natsu in the stomach, to send him flying against one of the walls.
With the extra effects of Laxus's attack, Natsu couldn't move, as his body was completely electrocuted.
"Damn… Why can't… I… Move?" said Natsu as he was trying to force his body to move.
"Electric energy can stop your body's muscles. You won't move them for a while, letting me recharge my energy." Said Laxus, as he put himself in a position to charge his magical power into one blow.
Natsu started moving slowly, using brute force to wake up his muscles.
"Wait… What?" Said Laxus, amazed by Natsu's force in getting up."
(Stop Song.)
(Play – Fairy tail: Lightning Flame Dragon Roaring)
Natsu got up and absorbed the lightning.
"Thanks for the meal, Laxus!" Said Natsu as Fire and Lightning combined involved his body.
Everyone in the stands was surprised.
Natsu jumped towards Laxus, and started hitting him with multiple combos, keeping up with Laxus, that was flying between walls.
"WHAT POWER!" Shouted the commentator.
"Natsu… How strong have you become?" Asked and injured Erza as she was watching the battle.
Natsu jumped back charged the energy on his arm.
"HAMMER OF THE LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON!" Shouted Natsu, before launching a powerful blow that caught Laxus, sending him against the wall.
The only thing that people could see from the stands was a huge beam made of fire, and a bit of lightning around that fire, that was melting part of the wall that was hitting.
"What? He's melting Solid Carbon?" Asked Akashi in the stands, surprised. (A/N: For you that don't know, carbon's melting point stands at around 4330 ºC)
"I see. Hopefully we'll meet in the final, Natsu Dragneel." Said Akashi as he walked out of the stadium.
When Natsu stopped his power, nothing but Smoke remained, as the smoke dissipated, everyone could see Laxus, with multiple 3rd degree burns on his body, but was able to withstand his ground.
"What Power! Laxus Withstood that hit!"
"Not over Laxus, I still got one more!" Shouted Natsu, much to Laxus's despair.
"LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S ROAR!" He shouted, sending a powerful roar that was roasting Laxus alive.
Laxus moved his hands down, absorbing the lightning from the roar, taking only Natsu's fire on Impact.
(Stop song.)
(Play – Fairy tail: Salamander's theme)
Laxus stood up before Natsu jumped towards him, punching Laxus in the face multiple times before kicking Laxus in the back of his head and sending him flying through the stadium.
Laxus got up and tried to charge his lightning before he was punched by Natsu with extreme force.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He shouted before punching Laxus in the face and sending him flying against another wall.
Natsu started charging his power around him, before going all out.
"DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART: Flaming drive!" He said before his body all became part of his flames.
Natsu already in flames jumped towards Laxus, hitting multiple combos, burning Laxus's skin with every punch.
As Natsu brutally kicked Laxus's ass, everyone in the guild awed in surprise.
The referee came down quickly to stop the match as it could be seen that Natsu had no signs of slowing down.
(Stop Song.)
The match was stopped and the referee raised Natsu's arm to the public as the people present in the stadium cheered him on.
"And the Winner is…. FAIRY TAIL'S SALAMANDER: NATSU DRAGNEEL!" Shouted the commentator through his microphone.
Natsu got back to Normal as he was scratched and his body still had signs of being electrocuted from Laxus's attacks.
Natsu picked up Laxus and took him back to the stands where everyone was waiting for them.
Erza got up from her seat, still injured, to get close to Natsu. Natsu laid down Laxus before going to meet Erza, that gave him a kiss on the forehead for the victory.
Natsu was moving closer to Erza before gray interrupted them.
"Guys, there's a hotel room waiting for us, you can do that there." Said Gray as he mocked Natsu and Erza.
Erza didn't like the interruption, but accepted it since there was a hotel nearby.
"Thank you for attending today's tournament! Tomorrow There will be the final between Fairy tail's salamander : Natsu Dragneel Vs The Masked Man: Akashi Ikeda! Don't be late Tomorrow Morning!"
The whole guild was leaving the stadium, followed by some reporters from sorcerer weekly. Some tried to interview Natsu and Erza, but were quickly dismissed by Makarov, the Guild Master.
As they reached the hotel, and had dinner, Erza and Natsu decided to share a room.
Natsu entered the room and quickly jumped to the bed, which made Erza burst into laughter.
"What's so funny?" Asked Natsu, with an intrigued face.
"You, silly." She said, confusing Natsu even more.
"Are you scared for tomorrow's battle?" She asked. This question did hit Natsu hard. Natsu had already seen that man eliminate Gray, Erza, and even Jura, one of the 10 wizard saints from the competition. He knew it would be no easy task defeating him.
"I'm all fired up!" Shouted Natsu. This made Erza burst into laughter again.
"SHUT UP NATSU!" Shouted Gray from the other room.
"YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME, ICE BOY?" Natsu Shouted back.
"STOP, BOTH OF YOU!" Shouted Erza, making them both stop.
"Anyway, Natsu, tonight is our night. So, let's just relax and spend some bonding 'time'" Said Erza, with a dirty look.
Natsu, obviously, couldn't catch her drift, and looked confused.
Erza jumped over him, bouncing on the bed. Natsu started getting closer, and they shared their first kiss.
"Natsu…" She whispered into his ear.
She started biting his ear as he kissed her neck.
Natsu had his hands on her back, which he started moving down, through her lower back, before reaching her ass.
Erza's face became as red as her hair, as she tried to give Natsu some liberty while they were together.
Erza, feeling too embarrassed, was about to tell Natsu to stop rubbing her butt, but couldn't hold a moan in, as Natsu started to squeeze it.
Erza moved closer to Natsu, sharing a kiss with him.
As they both broke away from the Kiss, Natsu pushed her into the bed, and laid on top of her.
Erza picked Natsu's jacket, took it off, and threw it to the ground.
Natsu took off his scarf, as his father, igneel, had told him to.
(Flashback)
"Remember Natsu, when alone, in the presence of a lady, remember to take off the scarf."
"Yes dad!" Said Natsu towards a giant dragon.
(Flashback End.)
Natsu laid his scarf on the table next to the bed.
Natsu laid himself on top of Erza, making her blush madly.
She raised her head a bit to give Natsu another kiss, and hug him.
Erza was that night, using her usual outfit, a normal white shirt with a little blue bow tie, and blue shorts.
She got close to Natsu before pushing him off her and next to her in the bed.
Erza took off her shirt, and shorts in favor of just being in her underwear, using red bra and panties.
Erza laid herself next to Natsu and pushed down his pants, leaving Natsu in his black underwear.
Natsu could see that Erza was really embarrassed doing this, but that didn't stop him from hugging her, and comforting her in his arms.
Erza kept blushing madly.
At that moment, the door knob rotated, and the door room opened.
It was Mira.
Mira's face turned red as she saw Natsu and Erza on their underwear.
"Sorry!" She said before shutting the door and leaving.
Outside Mira was with Levi.
"What's wrong Mira? Who was it?" Asked Levi with a surprised look on her face when she noticed Mira becoming extremely nervous.
"It was Natsu with… Erza." She said, coming tears to her eyes.
Levi knew about Mira's feelings for Natsu, and wished her luck, as Mira entered her room.
Mira laid down in her bed, crying herself to sleep.
The Next Day – Hotel Entrance
Everyone from the guild was in the hotel entrance, ready to go to the stadium, to cheer Natsu on.
Erza got close to Mira, trying to forget what happened in the previous night.
"Mira…" She tried to talk before she was interrupted.
"I'm sorry for yesterday, I didn't mean to interrupt." She said.
"You didn't" Said Natsu with a big smile directed to Mira.
"It was our fault for not locking the door, sorry about that" Said Erza.
Mira smiled towards them, not to reveal her true feelings for Natsu.
They all went to the stadium, that was already full, and the spectator were already buying their popcorn and corn dogs for the battle.
The commentator got close to the microphone and started to talk.
"Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen! Great to have you here! Today is the final day of the Grand Magic tournament, where you will see the Final battle of the tournament, deciding the winner, and a battle against any of the 10 wizard saints, if the winner so desires!
Today's Battle is: Fairy Tail's Salamander : NATSU DRAGNEEL! Versus The Masked Man: AKASHI IKEDA!"
Shouted the commentator.
Natsu entered the arena along with the masked man, that got close to him.
The masked man extended his hand, which Natsu retorted, shaking his hand.
"let the better wizard win." He said.
"I'M ALL FIRED UP!" Shouted Natsu.
"COME GET SOME!" Shouted the masked Man.
A/N: Man, this chapter took a lot longer to write than I would have anticipated, but anyhow, hopefully, you've enjoyed this chapter!
Oh, and to lift some doubts here, The Masked Man is not Jellal. Some people asked me if he was indeed Jellal, since he didn't want to fight Erza, and actually, after putting the pieces together, it would have actually made a lot of sense, I mean, he can use heavenly body magic, and didn't want to fight Erza, so it could be him,but it isn't. Jellal will have another role in the story a little further.
Anyway, don't forget to favorite and follow if you liked it, and don't forget to review so that I can keep improving on this fanfic!
Next Chapter:
- The Masked Man! Friend or Foe? A One Hit KO!
