ALL HAIL THE BEAR.
Chapter 20: Battle of Kings
Deep within a volcanic wasteland, inside of a cave, sat an immense crimson red dragon, with various scars littered across his body.
A loud roar echoed through the wasteland, fierce and proud.
"Natsu..." the large dragon whispered, in a tone unlike that of his visage, caring.
"How far you've come, and who knew that you'd become so strong. But this path you're on, it is pointless, you will only find disappointment" he spoke, his tone turning from a caring tone to a saddened one. He was interrupted by a orb of light hovering in front of him.
"Go away Grandeeney" he muttered
"Honestly Igneel, its not like you to be sad, especially with Natsu roaring like an idiot, he is just like you" the orb spoke with a hint of teasing in the distinctly feminine voice.
Igneel just grunted and turned around, but they both knew just how proud he was of his son.
"Natsu..." Igneel echoed once again
As the roars started to cease, Zancrow was sent flying by a hard punch to the face.
"What the hell DragonShit!?" Zancrow shouted as he climbed out of a tree
"Sorry Godcunt, got a little carried away" Natsu said half assedly as he walked away towards Nova.
Zancrow just scoffed, after all, they had a job to do, and they couldn't waste time by fighting.
"Alright boys! Let's get to it!" Bluenote announced as the men started heading off into different directions.
"Good luck Natsu!" called out Keiron, as he too, went off.
Natsu acknowledged him with a nod and gave Nova a pat on the head and the Drake nodded.
"Come on Nova, lets find this grave" Natsu said as he and Nova headed off into their own direction .
Some miles away The S-Class participants were sailing towards Tenrou Island
"Master, please explain to me again why we are heading to Tenrou early?" asked Gray
"Im not sure, I just have a feeling that something is about to happen on that Island, and we need to be there as soon as possible" Makarov replied
"But all the S-class Wizards should already be there, why would we need to be there?" added Lucy
"Just trust in me children" Makarov replied
"What could possibly be going down on Tenrou Island" Gray said to himself
'Please let this not involve you Natsu' prayed Lucy
Gildarts had just arrived on the Island and he could immediately tell something was off, he could sense several magical presences, several of which were very strong, others were even stronger, but one source was devastatingly strong, and it kept giving off bursts of magical power, after each of which, it would recede in power.
Gildarts immediately set off to investigate and deal with the possible threats, starting off with the weakest ones.
With no knowledge of his comrades imminent destruction, Natsu continued on his way, searching the island untill he felt a disgustingly powerful wave of magic.
"What the hell!?" Natsu cursed as the magic pulsed, and then receeded. Natsu immediatly rushed off in the direction where he felt the magic surge.
It didn't take long before Natsu reached an area charred and blackened. Taking a whiff of the area, Natsu held back the urge to vomit, the air stunk like death, like rot. That's when he realized that the trees and grass weren't blackened by fire, the life had been sucked out of them.
"What the hell happened here?" Natsu asked himself, he could feel that whatever caused this was no longer here, and he couldn't trace a smell through this.
"Nova, I want you to fly up in the air and stay there, follow me from above" Natsu ordered, and Nova nodded before taking off.
Within 10 minutes Natsu found the body of Kain, luckily the poor bastard was still alive, if not barely, but the guy was out cold, and nothing that Natsu did could wake him.
"Damnit" Natsu cursed, and smelled around, but before he could identify any scent left by the attacker, Kain let out a massive fart that assaulted Natsu's senses.
"God fucking damnit fatass!" Natsu cursed and kicked Kain hard into a tree.
"Shit, sorry" Natsu said as he realized what he'd just done.
Natsu continued on his way, but his search had changed from the First Master of Fairy Tail's grave, to whoever else was on this island with them.
Next, Natsu found the body of Rusty Rose, who was barely coherent.
"Rust, dude what the hell happened?" Natsu asked.
"Some... a monster... he was so strong. And so poorly dressed!" Rusty Rose said before he blacked out, and if Natsu didn't know any better, he'd say the guy fainted.
"God dammit" Natsu said, at least Rusty Rose was too proper to do something to fuck with the scent this time, but just in case, Natsu picked him up and threw him away.
Natsu took a big inhale and immediately caught a familiar scent.
"No... no no NO NO NO!" Natsu shouted as he took off in the direction of the scent, if the person hunting them down was who he thoght it was, then his team was screwed.
On his way, he passed by an aunfamiliar man, he had a smile stiched onto his face. But Natsu didnt stop.
Next, Natsu came across a very injured Azuma.
"Azuma are you ok?" Natsu asked
"No, he got me pretty good, i'm guessing you already know who it is"
"Yeah, I've been tailing him for a while now, hes already gotten to Kain and Rust"
"Damn, he's just to strong, I have to tell Master Hades" Azuma stated as he tried to leave
'You must stop him, he must not be allowed to report to Hades' announced Durak
"Sorry Azuma. No hard feelings" Natsu said, and before Azuma could turn around, his vision went black.
'Whats going on Durak?' Natsu asked
'I am unsure, but my guess is that Fairy Tails S-Class promotion trial were scheduled soon, we are lucky the bulk of Fairy Tail hasn't arrived yet'
"Shit, then we need to find that grave pretty damn soon or else everything will go straight to hell"
Natsu picked the scent back up and followed it straight to a battle field, the ground was destroyed into little cubes.
There he found Gildarts fighting against Keiron, and Keiron wasn't looking to good.
He was bleeding from his shoulder.
"Gildarts!" Natsu roared
The man in question turned around to find a sight that he couldn't believe. There stood a familiar Dragon Slayer, and angry as ever.
"N-Natsu? What the hell are you doing here?"
"You've been hunting down my guild members, and you hurt Keiron, I can't let you get away with this Gildarts"
"Wait, these people are your guild members? What the hell Natsu!? Why the fuck are you in a dark guild!?" Gildarts demanded, Keiron totally forgotten.
"It's none of your business. If it had only been Kain and Rusty Rose, I would have let you go, but I actually kind of liked Azuma, and you hurt Kei, and for that, I'm gonna make you bleed!" Natsu roared as his fists clenched, and blood flowed as his nails dug into his skin.
"You don't want to do this Natsu. We both know that I'm stronger than you, come back to Fairy Tail, we can help you"
"Stronger than me? YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW STRONG I AM!" Natsu roared as patches of crimson scales appeared in various places across his body.
Natsu instantly appeared in front of Gildarts with his arm planted into the mans gut, blood gushed out of his mouth as he was sent flying.
"IF THAT'S HOW YOU WANT TO PLAY BOY! FINE!" Gildarts roared back.
Gildarts and Natsu launched at each other, and began trading heavy blows, some of them they blocked, others they had no choice but to take.
After another blow from Gildarts, the two parted, both panting, but not heavily. Natsu wiped some blood from his mouth and gave a smirk.
"Nice try old man, but your not gonna beat me without even using any magic" Natsu said as his fists became engulfed in fire"
"Dammit Natsu, why are you doing this!?" Gildarts demanded
"Because, you hurt my friends. And nobody...NOBODY HURTS MY FRIENDS!" Natsu roared as fire engulfed his entire body and he launched towards Gildarts, Instantly, he began an assault on the crash wizard, devastating hits one by one, until he chained them all together with an uppercut which sent him into the air. Natsu appeared above him in the air, with a giant whip of fire over his shoulders.
"FIRE DRAGONS TAIL SMASH!" Natsu roared as he swung the 'tail' of fire down on the mage below, but before it could connect, Gildarts raised his hand to the fire, and it froze in cubes before dissipating.
"Not bad Natsu, I'm impressed, no man has ever done so much damage to me" Gildarts said as he wiped some blood from his mouth.
"Don't think i'm done yet old man, I'll have to beat you before the rest of your guild gets here. And no telling how long that is, i'm sorry Gildarts, but you truly stand no chance against one of these, after all, they were made for something far greater than you! Designed for a dragon!" Natsu said before launching at Gildarts once again, starting off with a flurry of punches, the majority of which, Gildarts blocked, but once Natsu got a good punch in, thats where the end began for Gildarts.
As soon as that hit landed, Gildarts defense took heave damage and Natsu launched into even heavier fire, delivering punch after devastating punch.
Natsu then delivered another uppercut into Gildarts stomach, but before he culd fly away, Natsu grabbed his head and smashed it on his knee.
Letting the mage fall to his knees and catch his breath, Natsu appeared in the air with his hands together at the palm facing Gildarts.
"Natsu..." Gildarts said as he looked up at the dragon slayer.
"I'm sorry Gildarts. I wont kill you, but you'll be sent back to Fairy Tail before you manage to wake up" Natsu said before a flame appeared in his hands.
"FIRE DRAGONS TURBULENT INFERNO!" Natsu roared as the flame roared to life and shot towards Gildarts, like a dragons roar but out of his hands.
The Flames started swirling around Gildarts, burning off most of his clothes and singing his skin.
"Time for bed old timer!" Natsu announced as he appeared in front of Gildarts amidst the inferno and gave one last hit to Gildarts skull, sending him into blackness.
Instantly, the flames died down, and Natsu looked upon the unconscious body of Gildarts, he barely had any clothes left besides his barely intact pants and bandages.
Natsu whistled upwards and Nova came flying down.
Natsu hefted the body onto Novas back and whispered something in the drakes ear. Nova nodded and licked Natsu's face before taking off towards the beach.
It was just in time too, because right as the Drake was out of sight, an unfamiliar man stepped into the clearing.
"Natsu. You have gotten very strong, but still, you are not strong enough" said the man.
"Who the hell are you!?" Natsu demanded.
But the man did not reply, he merely looked over at the observing Keiron.
"Keiron! Go find Bluenote and Zancrow, tell them Fairy Tail is almost here!" Natsu ordered and Keiron nodded before dissapearing in a show of speed.
"Not strong enough at all Zeref said before a devastating wave of magic was released from the man, Natsu raised a shield of fire round himself, but the wave had no effect, on anything, it wasn't the same as any of the other waves he'd felt the man release.
"What the fuck was that?" Natsu demanded
"Merely a summons" the man replied
"For what?"
"Your next opponent" the man said darkly
Next chapter: Battle of Dragons
