Chapter 7: Natsu vs Mist
Natsu followed the mist into the dark alleyways of the city. He was in a blind fury, ready to turn Mist into ash for what she had done.
"Fire Dragon Roar!"
He shot a huge wall of flames at the mist but it simply dissipated. He couldn't hurt her when she was in this form.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"
Natsu continued to punch, kick and shoot flames at the mist but nothing happened. He felt a tug on his legs and tripped. Mist turned back into her human form and kicked Natsu in the teeth. He let out another burst of flame but she turned into mist and dodged it.
"You're gonna pay for hurting my friend!" Natsu shouted. Although he tried to push it out of his mind, he couldn't stop thinking about what would happened to Erza if he failed to bring Mist back with them.
His thoughts were interrupted by a punch to the head, courtesy of Mist. Natsu grabbed her ankle and flung her toward the stone wall. Before she could collect herself, Natsu returned a punch to her stomach.
"I don't know why you gave Erza that curse, but your going to fix it whether you want to or not!" Natsu shouted as gave out another punch. Mist transformed again before he could land the hit. Natsu groaned in frustration.
"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BEAT YOU WHEN YOU KEEP TURNING INTO A FREAKING CLOUD.!?"
Natsu unleashed enormous flames from all over his body, hoping the intense heat would force Mist back into human form. But the evil mist simply rose above the flames.
"Lighting Dragon Roar!" A blast of lighting stuck the mist, forcing the thief back into her human form.
"That's some pretty impressive magic you got there." Laxus said. "But you made one fatal mistake when you cursed Erza.
Mist tried to get up but was pelted with needles.
"You messed with a member of Fairy Tail." Evergreen said. Freed also showed up and casted runes to keep Mist in place.
"And when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!
Bickslow and Lucy also showed up.
"What the heck man!?" Natsu whined. "I almost had her!"
"I saw you struggling." Laxus jeered
"I was not!" Natsu defended.
"Yes you were."
I was not!"
Freed stepped in. "If Laxus says you were than you were."
"Stay out of this, Mosshead!"
Um..guys!?" Lucy said.
"What?" Natsu, Laxus and Freed said in unison.
"Look."
While Freed was distracted, Mist manged to slip out of the rune trap, once again in the form of mist.
"Better luck next time losers!" Mist said as shapeless essence slipped over the nearby building.
Lucy hit Natsu over the back of the head.
"Now look what you did!" Lucy shouted. "How are we gonna save Erza now!?"
Before Natsu could answer, they heard a shriek and the sound of ice freezing from the other side of the building. The group ran around the building were they found Grey, now in just his boxers, standing next to something he flash froze.
"Grey did you catch Mi-" Lucy didn't have to answer that question as she saw Mist frozen in a rather...awkward pose.
"I don't think we should have any trouble making Erza laugh." Grey smiled.
