Chapter 3

Natsu

Hey all! Here's the third chapter of this story! I really love the support this story is getting and I would love it even more if you could leave a review and tell me what I'm doing great, what I can do better and any ideas you have for this story! Thanks and onto the amazingness of Natsu v.s Ares!

All yeah I'm all fired up now! Thanks to a quick meal of fire down at the Hestia cabin, I'm all fired up to take this battle to the next level! Were stationed in a large grassy clearing used for mock battles, in one direction is the sea and in another is the forest. All the camp members who showed up are sitting in a semicircle on the side nearest the forest.

Percy is busy collecting bets while across from me stands Dad. He's standing there smiling a cocky grin while stretching his muscles. "You ready to fight son?" he asks me.

"You bet and I don't plan on losing!"I say as I get into fighting stance.

"I like that spirit, but I never lose!" yells Ares as he summons a golden sword and charges.

Ares jabs at me with his sword and I dodge out-of-the-way. I counter with an iron fist of the dragon taking Ares by surprise. It makes contact with his and sends him sliding a few meters. "It's that all you got?" he ask me, wiping the spot where I hit him.

"I'm just getting fired up!" I yell at him. "Roar of the fire dragon!"

A column of fire rushes in Ares's direction, but he summons a shield and pushes through the flames. As he reaches me he smacks me with his shield then sends me flying with a kick in the stomach. I stand up regaining my composure and run at him fists on fire. As I jab at him he dodges out-of-the-way then counters with another kick. This time I'm able not fall, but Pops then follows up by throwing his shield which hits me in the stomach knocking me onto the ground. The shield lands next to me with a thud.

I stand up grimacing from the pain. Just as I stand up Ares charges piercing me on my arm, my chest and my leg and then proceeds to punch me in the face. He then follows up with an uppercut. I've fallen down to the ground again. Ares is pinning me on the ground, fist on one side sword on the other

"You ready to give up son?"He asks me.

"I'm not going to lose!" I yell. "Roar of the fire dragon."

This catches him of guard and he flies off me, his sword still next to me. I stand up, wavering from the pain. I see the shield lying on the ground a little ways away. Slowly a plan forms. As Ares recovers his posture I use all my strength to run over to the shield and quickly go ahead to pick it up. I run towards him as I throw it using every last ounce of strength. When the shield makes contact I jump in with a flaming uppercut to the face, and then follow-up with 3 sword jabs. The first two pierce his shoulders while the last one pierces his chest. I then push him onto the ground piercing the sword into his chest, pinning him on the ground.

"This won't keep me down son." Mutters Ares, panting heavily.

"I know, that's why I'm going to finish this off pops." I reply, also panting heavily. "Roar of the fire dragon!" Flames surround him and when it clears he look up at me with a menacing smile.

"You've won this time son, but next time it's game over!" suddenly Percy cries out telling me to look away. I spin around just in time just as bright light appears. When it clears, Ares is gone.

"Whew, that was a close one!" says Percy. "Never look at that bright light or you could die."

"But I'm a god. I can't die." I reply, giving him a strange look.

Percy rolls his eyes. "Don't let that make you cocky, I liked you better when you didn't know you were a god."

I smile a cheeky smile and ask "So Percy do you want to fight?" then I collapse.

Lucy

Natsu that idiot. First he goes and challenges Ares, and then proceeds to get injured pretty badly, almost gets killed by Ares's exit, challenges Percy to a battle then falls asleep for 2 days. Jeez, what and idiot. A day after Natsu woke we were all called down for a meeting inside the auditorium. When we arrived we found Chiron waiting on the stage.

When we had all calmed down he began to speak "I have called you all to discuss something of dire importance. A new quest shall begin! There is a new evil brewing deep in the depths. of the underworld and the Cyclops forges. A hero has been called forth to lead this quest, his name is Natsu!" it's quiet for a second, then there's chattering.

"Ha! Natsu lead a quest, he can't even lead himself onto a train without barfing!" laughs Grey.

"Natsu you are allowed to take 4 demigods, this is pre requested by Ares." All eyes turn to Natsu in anticipation.

Natsu gives everyone a cheeky grin "Isn't that obvious? I choose Happy, Lucy, Erza and Grey!"

"I'm afraid I must decline, I do not wish to embark on a quest as of now. I'm sorry Natsu, but I must do what I must do to get stronger. Besides some needs to help protect camp encase of danger." Says Erza from nearby.

"Okay then I'll take Percy!"Replies Natsu smiling "If he comes with me I'll undoubtedly get a chance to fight him!"

"Is that all you care about?" I ask shaking my head sadly.

"Natsu I'm afraid that Happy does not count as a demigod, but you are still allowed to bring him along. This is par Ares's request."answers Chiron.

"Okay then, I'll take Annabeth, she's cool." says Natsu standing up with a flaming fist. "So when do we get started, I'm all fired up!"

"You'll need to come with me to the big house the rest of you may leave." As he said that everyone stood up and started to leave the stadium. The 6 of us followed Chiron to the big house.

...

If I had to summarize in 5 words what he said it would be like this: Zeref, Cyclops, Disappear, Tarturus, and Climb. In a nut shell Zeref is kidnapping Cyclops and monsters are beginning to climb out of tarturus somehow. What do we need to do? We need to go to the Cyclops forges, find out where the Cyclops are being taken. Find Zeref, stop him all before the monster of tarturus team up and destroy all of humanity. Easy right?

What we're wondering is how we were going to get there. Thankfully Chiron had a solution. "Ares gave me these 6 pearls, 1 for each of you." Said Chiron as he gave us each a blue pearl "These pearls are special, they will transport you directly to the Cyclops forges when you stomp on one."

"Cool!" said Natsu smiling a cheeky grin "Well, what are we waiting for let's go!" With that we stomped on the blue pearls and in a blue flash everything disappeared.

When the blue light disappeared I was inside a really hot room. All around us there were forges and anvils, the only problem, there were no Cyclopes. Suddenly there were sounds of conflict coming from down the hall. We ran to where the sounds were to see a surprising sight. Everywhere inside the hall there was terror. Cyclops were fighting Cyclopes and hellhounds. Weapons lay on the grounds. Who was leading the conflict, but other than a man clothed in black. A smile going from one side of his face to another when he saw us. His name was Zeref. His plan was already in action. He pointed a finger at us and with a devilish grin he shouted 6 words. "It's time to play! Kill them!"

So how did you like that? Please leave a review I would really really love it! Anyway I'll try to get out another chapter soon, but I'm quite busy so ya! Next time be ready for a duel in the forges!
