"Yes, I am a dragon slayer," Miko nodded honestly. "I was raised by the dragon Aquinora. She one day disappeared though, leaving without a goodbye or a trace, so that is why I'm here."

"So Aquinora left, just like Igneel," Natsu sighed, hopes shut down. For a second, he thought he was closer to finding Igneel. "Well anyways, I accept your challenge. Let's see how strong you are," he smirked, showing his slightly pointed teeth.

"Great," Miko grinned. "Shall we take this outside?" she asked seeing the master of the guild look a bit nervous.

"That would probably be the best idea," a short man wearing a jester hat butt in. "I don't want the guild hall destroyed by two slayers. I don't even want to know how much that'd cost to repair."

So everyone moved outside, granted they did not circle around the two just in case they got out of hand. And when it came to Natsu, everything always gets out of hand.

"Let the fight begin!" the old man shouted out with the crowd cheering behind him.

"I'll make you regret challenging me," Natsu smirked as his arms caught fire. "Here we go!" He charged towards the girl, taking a quick swing at her but she easily avoided it by stepping back. She maneuvered away from him, dodging his moves with ease.

"Aren't you going to attack back?" Natsu shouted as he tried to punch her again. "If you won't, I'll make you attack back!" he stopped into a fighting stance. He tilted his head back as his cheeks puffed out. He brought up his hands and curled them up towards his mouth. "Fire Dragon's…" a magic circled appeared in front of him. "Roar!" he shot out of stream of fire aimed right at Miko. Her eyes widened as she saw the oncoming danger.

"Miko!" Sven shouted. "Don't just stand there!"

Miko instantly reacted. She jumped into the air, just barely dodged it, and landed besides it. As she focused on landing perfectly, Natsu charged towards her, catching her by surprise. He landed a hit on her side, causing her to fly to the right and into a wall of a building. She coughed before getting back up.

"Let's have it your way," she growled. Instantly, her demeanor changed. Her eyes seemed to focus and sharpen into dragon eyed slits. "Water Dragon's," she growled. Her cheeks filled up with liquid, expanding to an enormous size. "Roar!" she retaliated and let a torrent of water hit Natsu.

"Tch, so you're a water dragon slayer," Natsu wiped his face. "I guess this makes it more fun," he laughed before his legs engulfed themselves in fire. "Fire Dragon's Claw!" his quick movements caught her off guard and she was sent flying into the same wall. Miko growled as she picked herself up. Small cuts adorned her limbs already.

"Time to focus," Miko mumbled to herself as she patted down her shirt. Bits of debris sprinkled off of the cloth and onto the floor. "Water Dragon's," Miko's hair started floating in the air as if a soft wind was blowing towards her. A pale blue magic circle appeared under her feet, indicating that she was about to attack in seconds. "Geyser!" she shouted as she stuck out her hands with her palms facing Natsu. As if shot by a cannon, a cylinder shaped form of water hit Natsu straight in the chest. He used his feet to skid to a stop causing pieces of cement to uproot.

"This it taking too long for my liking," Natsu said as he straightened himself out. "I'll end it now."

"Fire Dragon's…"

"Water Dragon's…"

"Iron Fist!" Natsu's fists were covered in fire.

"Torrent Gloves!" Miko's fists were engulfed in water.

The two dragon slayers rushed towards each other, one hand extended back and ready to hit. When they collided, a huge explosion went off, covering the area with dust. The wizards of the guild coughed as they were also covered with the dust. The hissing sound of steam indicated that fire and water had collided.

"Do you see them?" Gray asked Erza as he squinted through the haze.

"I don't," Erza replied as she took a step forward.

"They better not be dead," Gray sighed. The dust quickly cleared with one strong breeze revealing the two slayers with their hands on their knees. Both of them were breathing heavily but before they could call it a tie, Miko fell over unconscious.

"The victor is Natsu," Lucy's eyes widened. "Ah! Is the girl alright though?" the celestial wizard ran over to the fallen girl. She was bruised all over with cuts sprinkled here and there.

"Lucy, let's take her back to the guild building. We'll let her rest there," Mirajane put a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "Gray, can you carry her?"

The said ice wizard nodded, gently picking her up before heading towards the guild.

"Natsu, you really went all out didn't you," Lucy crossed her arms. "Even if she challenged you, shouldn't you have held back a little?"

"Well I mean, a fight's a fight," Natsu pouted. "She's a dragon slayer too you know. She went all out as well!"

"But that doesn't mean th-," Lucy started before someone interrupted her.

"Please, if I may input a thought," Sven raised a paw. "Miko will be fine, do not worry. She lives to know that someone can beat her so she can have the determination to be better. To train harder. This is the outcome that we knew was to happen," he lowered his paw.

"You see? Even her cat says so," Natsu huffed.

"Even so," Lucy trailed off, knowing she wasn't about to win this fight. "Well anyway, I'm going to check on her." Lucy made her way back to the guild, leaving the crowd behind.


"How is she Mirajane?" Erza asked as she took a good look at the girl. There was a piece of pale blue hair covering her milky white skin that Mirajane brushed to the side.

"She's recovering extremely quickly, it must be the dragon slayer magic," Mirajane concluded. "Look, almost all the cuts and bruises are gone already."

"That's amazing," Erza said honestly as she bent down to stare at a cut in her leg. She watched as it slowly closed itself and left no mark. "I don't think I've seen Natsu heal this quickly though." She stood back up, her armor making clanking noises as she did it.

"How strange," Mirajane put a finger to her chin. "Well whether or not that's true, she should be healed up in about a few hours. Let's go downstairs to make sure the guild isn't wrecked yet," the white-haired wizard smiled.

"Okay," Erza agreed before heading towards the door.
