"Natsu-san, can we just have one battle," Sting pleaded.

"Salamander will fight you," Gajeel shoved Natsu forth.

"Is this revenge for the Grand Magic Games?" Natsu yelped in alarm as he got shoved forth, stumbling a bit..

Gajeel laughed and said, "You better believe it! You'll have to lose to the one that you won ninety years ago!"

Sting attack and Natsu dodged. Tyson was familiar to Natsu's movements and said, "There's no way Natsu-nii will lose to you!"

Sting's hand began to glow and Natsu dodged every hit and Sting got frustrated. "This is easier than dodging a sharp blade," Natsu swiped a flaming foot and made Sting stumbled forward, face first into the gravel path.

Natsu made his way back to where Lucy and Gajeel stood. Sting stood and rubbed his sore face. "I guess using magic is a bit-" Natsu stiffened to here armor.

"The knights!" Natsu said.

"There he is! Natsu 'Salamander' Dragneel! It appears he also has Black Steel Gajeel Redfox, Lucy Heartfilia, and the twin dragons, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney!" One knight said.

"Get behind me, Tyson," Natsu shoved the boy behind him.

Lucy grabbed her keys out of her bag, Sting, Rogue, Gajeel, and Natsu got into an attack position. "Lucy, I want you to run off with Tyson as far as you can," Natsu told the blonde mage.

She hesitated, but nodded and prepared to run. The knights began their assault. Of course, the dragon slayers didn't use a bit of magic. Natsu skillfully dodged and used his fists to hit the attacking knights. Tyson was amazed at the dragon slayer's skills of battling a real enemy. He felt himself getting dragged be Lucy as they ran through the battling mages and knights. "Natsu-nii has amazing fighting skills!" Tyson breathed, excited to learn more.

"Yeah, but when he combines it with magic, it's even better," Lucy smiled as she slowed a bit, but kept a fast pace.

"Really?" Tyson asked.

"You'll learn soon. I believe Natsu's most dangerous battle was..." Lucy fell into thought and Tyson allowed her to think.

"It was either against Future Rogue during the dragon assault in Crocus or the nine demon gates," Lucy finished her sentence.

"How many dangerous enemies has Natsu-nii encountered?" Tyson questioned, wanting to know more.

"You'll have to ask him yourself. I'm pretty sure that he'll-" Lucy stopped to see knights attacking someone.

Lucy stopped Tyson from drawing his sword and she pulled out Loke's key. "Open! Gate of the Lion! I open thee!"

A golden flash and there stood a celestials spirit. "It's been ninety years, Lucy," Loke adjusted his glasses on his face.

"Yeah, but times have changed. For now, take care of the knights," Lucy smiled and the lion spirit's hands glowed.

Loke quickly finished them off and disappeared. "That takes more magic then it used to," Lucy breathed out.

"Lu-chan!" A blue-haired girl came over.

"Levy-chan! You haven't changed a bit like the others!" Lucy called out and the two hugged.

They soon broke and Levy looked at Tyson. "Who exactly is this?" Levy went down to Tyson's size.

"I'm Tyson. Natsu-nii had found me," Tyson introduced himself.

"Natsu?" Levy looked over at Lucy and she nodded. "Then, Natsu's also alive for the past ninety years," Levy said a bit excited.

"Yeah, he hasn't changed a bit, but he's a bit weak with using magic," Lucy bit her lip.

"You said there are others too," Levy told Lucy.

"Yeah, Gajeel, Sting, and Rogue are also alive. We had met three dragons earlier too. They said that we've become immortal. There is suppose to be thirteen of us," Lucy explained.

"You said three dragons earlier. Do you mean...?" Levy had a bit of hope in her eyes.

"Yeah. Natsu finally got to see Igneel again," Lucy gave a small smile.

Natsu skidded in front of them and three knights chased him. "Natsu-nii!" Tyson went forth, but Levy held him back.

Natsu went forth and the knights swung their swords. Natsu dodged the first sword, then the second sword, but the third sword sliced at his arm. Surprise hit Levy to see the sword hit Natsu. "I told you he's weakened quite a bit. He hasn't used his dragon slayer magic for about eighty years," Lucy told her.

Tyson got out of Levy's grasp and pulled out his sword and charged at one of the knights.

Two knights swung their swords in sync and Tyson blocked it with his sword, but only able to see that a third sword went to his other side.

He felt himself being pushed to the floor so he closed his eyes instinctively, not knowing who pushed him. Tyson opened them to see he was under Natsu and his eyes widened. Natsu's left sleeve had a giant cut and in it three cuts marked that one arm. His right arm held only one cut on it. Tyson then realized that his mentor's scarf had fallen off and lay on his stomach. "Get back. That's why I'm not allowing you to fight," Natsu glanced down, his eyes glittered with seriousness and Tyson slowly got up and grabbed his sword and Natsu's scarf. He was with Lucy and Levy again and he handed Lucy Natsu's scarf. At this point of time, Natsu had both hands in flames and was dodging and finally hit one knight, hitting him against the tree. The other two backed away and Natsu finally casted, "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

The two knights stiffened and Natsu's attack hit them directly. "Natsu's been really pushed by magicless knights. I remember ninety years ago when he and the others got in a fight with some knights, he didn't seem the slightest problem going against so many," Lucy gasped, quite shocked.

"I think he's lost his confidence in fighting after living so peacefully," Levy added.

"I-is that true?" Tyson looked at the two ladies.

They both nodded, quite shocked about the facts of the dragon slayer. "Fighting three off pushes Natsu to the extreme. I really never seen his battles, but I this would be like fighting Laxus," Levy told Lucy.

"Or another strong opponent like Gajeel," Lucy agreed.

"Are you saying that Natsu-nii isn't at his strongest?" Tyson asked again.

"That's right. I need a bit of training. I got to beat Gajeel at the end of the week," Natsu told him, Tyson seeing the cuts along his arms.

Levy gave a confused look. "What happened between you and Gajeel, Natsu?" Levy asked quite confused.

"Oh, somehow the two got into a fight and Natsu lost to him. They had both entered their dragon modes, but Natsu lost due to not enough practice," Lucy explained.

"Natsu lost to Gajeel?" Levy looked at Natsu in shock.

Tyson was confused. "I have to ask, why is it a shock to have Natsu-nii lose?"

Lucy gave Natsu his scarf and then knelt down to Tyson's level. "You see, if Natsu gets serious enough, then he can take down probably anyone. Though, he had defeated all the male dragon slayers ninety years ago. Gajeel was the first to meet defeat, then Cobra, and after another seven

years: Sting and Rogue," Lucy explained.

Tyson was still confused. Levy gestured to the other three slayers that were running towards them. "I'll explain later. It's soon to get dark," Lucy got back up to her full height and Tyson watched as Natsu adjusted the scarf around his neck.

Many gave Levy a short greeting, but then they continued as the blue-haired girl decided to tag along with the group.
