5). Battle in the Forest
Right there in front of Natsu was an old member of Jordan's guild this would be his first encounter with Scorpio's Fang mages. Unable to know what her magic was a disadvantage on Natsu's part. Everyone knew about Natsu and his dragon slayer magic. But he knew nothing of what the magic was from the mage that stood in the burning forest before him.
"Natsu Dragneal. What a pleasure to meet you." she said interrupting Natsu's thoughts. "But I'm gonna call ya Sally-mander".
"Your familiar with me, but I'm not with you." Natsu said in a irritated tone due to the nickname he was just given.
"How about we stop with talking and get right into the fight?" she said with a smirking smile.
"Alright then I'm all fired up." he grinned.
Expecting that she was going to use iron dragon slayer magic as she had done when Natsu had first saw her. Having Gajeel as an ally once defeated Natsu was prepared for whatever she would throw at him. Or so he thought when she attacked with a lightning and flame fist.
"What the ?! " Natsu said taking the hit full on but enduring the hit.
"Surprised Sally-mander?" she laughed.
Launching hit after hit both were even on strength. They couldn't overwhelm each other. Natsu sent his dragon roar her way and she returned it with her's. But her's overpowered Natsu's sending him backwards a few feet. Her dragon roar was mixed with fire, lightning, and iron.
'Damn this would be harder than I thought' Natsu told himself.
Sam smiled as fury sparked in eye turning them a deep red. Natsu took a bite out of the surrounding flames to energize himself. Sam didn't look surprised by Natsu's actions knowing that she herself couldn't eat the flames and could only eat Natsu's. Sam at a disadvantage but Natsu wasn't going to last with the smoke in the air.
Going for a more strategic move Natsu didn't use ranged magic, but staying low enough so that the smoke didn't sting his eyes too much. But the fight went on for what seemed like hours and, Natsu was going to pass out from heat exhaustion.
"What's the matter Sally. To hot for ya." she smiled teetering back and forth.
"Nothings ever to hot for me." he called back in a scratchy and raspy voice.
"Your about to fall Sally, just give up now." she smirked.
'Fuck I can't hold on much longer' both mages tell themselves.
Both stood and stared at each other wheezing nearly fainted, when ice and water rained down. Natsu knew at once who's magic it was. Before collapsing as the ice and water covered him.
After the fire was out Natsu was extracted from the burnt forest and set in a bed at the Fairy Tail infirmary. The search for Jordan was still going on. The guild searched every part of the forest. Most of the guild was tired from the fire fighting earlier.
"Anyone with any luck of finding him" Mira asked.
"Laxus' team hasn't returned yet maybe they've found something" Gajeel told her sitting at a table.
Mira sighs and then nods as more guild members return and leave to scout the now burnt forest. The search went on for a while the sun had set over the horizon and the moon was shining full over the forest.
"Damn how deep did Jordan get I never knew how big this forest was" complained Laxus walking through the forest.
"It doesn't matter we've got to find him one way or another" Freed tells him calmly. "Bickslow have you located him yet?"
"We're headed in the right direction he should be nearby" he responds.
"Good he's caused enough trouble already" Laxus tells them. " The sooner we find him the sooner we can return to the guild".
"Hear that Evergreen you'll be able to rest" Freed says turning to face Evergreen but not seeing her anywhere. "Where is she?"
"Probably headed home already heh" chuckled Bickslow.
"Hmm Freed go find her " Laxus commanded.
Freed paused out of sadness, but quickly realized that the quicker he finds Evergreen the sooner he can return to Laxus' side. He was then off like a bullet. Laxus sighed and continued on with Bickslow.
"You said he was nearby right?" Laxus asked after walking a few more from when they departed with Freed.
"Yeah like around here. Scout around my babies." Bickslow tells his dolls.
"I think I can smell him over in that clearing." Laxus says moving into the said clearing.
As somewhat expected they found Jordan in the clearing but he was acting strangely his clothes were charred and his hair was shorter and pitch black his face was obscured by his bangs which were pale white and one side was much longer than the other. Both mages walked up to him.
"Jordan come on let's go everyone is waiting for you back at the guild. " Laxus said as he got closer.
"That's all fine and dandy but there's one problem." The younger mage told them both.
"What's that buddy?" Bickslow asked.
Both were then attacked by Freed and Evergreen. "You'll soon find that I'm not the one your looking for." The imposter said laughing.
