Chapter 2 - The Orange Flame
"Oh, yeah. I'll bring it alright! Here I come!" Natsu yelled out as he charged in once more with a flame covered fist.
And once again, Natsu swung his fist into his face and knocked himself back down to the ground.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Natsu muttered in shock. "Again? What's going on?"
"Natsu! It's only ten minutes left until Jupiter fires again!" Happy shouted in worry. Natsu had to defeat this guy, the self proclaimed strongest of the Elemental Four. Happy had heard rumors about the famed Orange Flame of Phantom Lord and it wasn't good. He was a powerful Mage that used Fire Magic like Natsu. One would figure with Natsu's immunity to fire would give him the advantage but this guy hadn't even moved yet and somehow struck down Natsu twice with his own fist.
"I know, I just to need to take this guy out!" Natsu retorted, rising to his feet once more.
"I'm sorry...but you won't be getting by me." Naruto stated again as he held his hands up in half Ram handseals. "All flames bow down before me...whether they're natural or my enemy's."
"My flames are my own!" Natsu rushed in with both hands blazing this time. " So stop talking slow to buy time and take this, Fire Dragon's Crushing Fang!"
Naruto simply waved his hand with his two fingers still in the half Ram seal and twisted the flames into a spinning vortex of fire. Natsu yelled out in dizziness as he was spun around like a top. Naruto followed the attack up with a flying knee strike to the spinning Natsu and sent him flying back into the wall.
"GUHHAAH!"
"Natsu!" Happy yelled. "Nine minutes!"
"I know." Natsu wiped his mouth and got back on his feet for the third time.
Naruto smirked as he watched the pink haired mage stood back up, still determined to defeat him.
"So, you like play with fire...you know what they say. You fight fire...with fire!" Naruto swung out his left hand and thrusted his right hand into a fist, a orange Magic seal appearing before him.
"Blue Flame!" A giant blast of blue fire quickly shot out of the Magic seal at Natsu. Suddenly, much to Naruto's surprise, Natsu started to eat the blue flames and swallowed the attack.
"Ooohh. I never had cold fire before!" Natsu stated gleefully as he licked his lips.
"I see." Naruto's eyes narrowed as he let all the details piece together in his mind. "You're the rumored Salamander of Fairy Tail. The mage who uses...Dragon Slayer Magic."
Natsu nodded as he smirked at Naruto.
"Damn right and now I'm gonna kick your ass!"
"Seven minutes, Natsu!" Happy started to freak out.
"So it seems we are a bad match...for each other. You're impervious to fire...and I control it." Naruto pointed out. Natsu thought about that fact for a moment and smirked again as he jumped at the yellow haired mage. He took in a large breath and held his hands up to his mouth.
"Dragon's..."
'I know this spell. He'll focus his magic in his lungs and let out a huge flame from his mouth.' Naruto thought to himself as he held his palms up.
"No matter how strong it is...I'll just take control and reverse it!" Naruto grinned.
"...SPIT!" Natsu spat at Naruto, a glob of spit hitting his forehead.
...
...
...
"DID YOU JUST SPIT ON ME?" Natsu laughed as Naruto wiped at his face furiously, trying to clean off the spit.
"Take this...TEME! Green Flame!" A wave of green fire shot out from Naruto's hands as Natsu smiled in glee at his next meal.
"Oh yeah! Another free mea...AAARRRGGHHHH! It smells like shit!" His eyes began to water as Natsu rolled on the floor, holding his throat and coughing out madly.
Naruto gave him a shit eating grin.
"That's my stinky fire. Methane smells like shit...doesn't it?"
"Bastard! I'm gonna kick your ass so hard!" Natsu shouted as he leapt at Naruto again.
"You can't use your fire." Naruto reminded him.
"Then I'll just kick your ass the old fashioned way!" Natsu landed in front of Naruto and swung fist after fist at the Fire Mage but none connected as he dodged each one with ease.
"So you wanted to settle this with hand to hand combat?" Naruto's smile disappeared as a solemn look came across his face." Then I have the advantage."
In a blink of an eye, Naruto drew his sword and slashed Natsu across his stomach as he slid to the other side of the room in a dramatic pose. Natsu's eyes widened as he fell to his knees and held his stomach.
"Yawarakai-Te." Naruto whispered, his hair covering his eyes.
"NATSU!" Happy cried out in horror.
"I'm...I'm okay." Natsu looked down at his bloodless hands and then looked over his shoulder to see Naruto holding his katana in a reverse pose. "You struck me with the blunt side?"
"Yes...that was my Masamune techinque, Yawarakai-Te...an attack of peace. Please don't make me use...my Muramasa techinque. It only ends...in bloodshed and violence." Naruto stood back up and faced Natsu once more.
Natsu also stood back up and stared down the powerful Mage from his position.
"I can't. I need to beat you and destroy the lacryma powering the Jupiter cannon. I need to protect my nakama, my friends, my family, and this town." Natsu spoke seriously.
"Five minutes!"
"I'm sorry...I understand your resolve but I cannot...let you do that." Naruto truly meant that. He knew Master Jose was not a kind man, that he would take out anyone to further increase his power. He realized this fact a long time ago and he hated it. Hell, most of his guild didn't even like each other and very few of them were kind or nice. Even Naruto himself only had two friends in Phantom Lord and it was because of those two he fought so hard for Master Jose's dream.
"Then I have to defeat you." Natsu stated.
"And I, you. I have my own nakama to protect...and a master I owe my life to...even if he is a evil man. I always keep my promise."
Natsu's eyes widened.
"So you know how bad your master is and yet you still fight?"
"Like I said...I always keep my promise." Naruto stabbed his katana into the ground much to Natsu's surprise. "But I won't kill you."
Natsu nodded in understanding and rushed toward the blonde Mage. "Then let's go."
In a blink of an eye, Naruto charged in and began the real fight. Blow after blow, they struck at each other with fists and kicks, disappearing and reappearing every few seconds in a different spot. The ground cracked everytime their fists met, their kicks blocked. The entire time, the smiles on their faces never disappeared. They met once more in the middle of the room and locked fists with each other, strugging for dominance of strength.
"You're strong. Too bad we don't have more time to fight some more." Natsu grinned as the veins in his arms popped out in tension.
"Yes, it's too bad...you're pretty strong yourself." Naruto returned the grin with his own.
"Natsu! This is no time to compliment the enemy!" Happy shouted. "Three minutes!"
"Three minutes...still think you can beat me?" Naruto whispered, never letting go of Natsu's fists as he slowly overpowered them, forcing Natsu to one knee.
"Naruto, you still can stop this. You're not like that air bastard who took out Makarov or your precious Master Jose. You said you have nakama, right?" Natsu winced in pain.
Naruto hesitated a moment before nodding.
"Yes, two of them."
"Then how is all of this good for them? A war? Even if you win, what about the rules? The Magic Council will lock all of you up! All because of one man's selfish dream. What happens then? You're strong, smart, and kind! You didn't even kill me when you had the chance! Your master may have saved your life but are you willing to let him to take innocent lives because of it?" Natsu spoke as he struggled and fell on both knees.
"Who are you, Naruto?" He whispered.
Naruto froze at those words, those very words that ran through his mind every day for the last seven years.
Was he really going to let Master Jose take hundreds of lives just because he saved his one, forgotten life?
Could he let his best friends suffered because of it?
Who was he?
"You're too kind, Naruto. You make Juvia feel better about herself." An thirteen year old Juvia spoke to him as she clutched her doll with a small smile on her face.
Juvia.
"You're not bad, Blondie. You gave me a good fight like always." An exhausted Gajeel grinned as he carried a smiling, equally exhausted Naruto around his arm back to the guild.
Gajeel.
It was time.
Time to find out who he truly was deep down inside.
"Thirty seconds!" Happy screamed out as he flew over the two Mages. Natsu was losing and the cannon was almost powered up as magic surrounded the lacryma in bright streams of light.
Twenty-five.
Twenty.
Natsu struggled against the strength of Naruto. He couldn't do anything as long as Naruto kept him locked down like this.
Fifteen.
Ten.
Nine.
Naruto was having a struggle within himself, trying to decide what was the right thing to do. Keep his promise to a mad man or protect people he didn't even know.
Eight.
Seven.
"DAMN IT!" Naruto screamed out as he brought his foot up and kicked Natsu square in the chest, pushing him far back on the other side of the room.
Six.
"I'M NARUTO!"
Five.
Four.
He swung around and held his hands up in a tiger handseal as a huge orange Magic seal appeared in front of him, aiming straight at the giant lacryma.
Three.
Two.
"Orange Flame: Flying Swallow!"
One.
A massive bird made from orange flames shot out of the seal and flew straight into the nearly charged lacryma, destroying the large magical source in an eruption of flames. Natsu and Happy watched in shock as one of Phantom Lord's own Orange Flame just taken out the Jupiter cannon. Naruto turned back around, the Jupiter cannon falling apart behind him in an amazing show of strength and smiled.
"So, shall we go and save our nakama?"
