"We blast through them!"
"What!? ARE YOU INSANE?! We don't have any weapons", Gray yelled out making all the soldiers around us flinch.
"Yes we do", I smirked as I raised my right hand at the soldiers in front of us.
"Watch this", I focused all of my energy to my hand causing it to heat up.
Once my hand was on fire I molded it with my other hand to shape it as a giant ball. It was the size of the watermelon.
Once it was finally big enough I threw it with my right arm at the soldiers. The soldiers looked confused and astonished that he threw a ball of fire without burning himself. Once the ball of fire got close to the soldiers, Natsu balled his hand into a fist making the ball of fire explode.
*BOOM!*
"So my theory was right", I looked at his fist then back at the soldiers , "I can control my fire".
Gray looked amazed as he watched the soldiers run away from the flames. Half of them managed to escape but the other half were burnt into a crisp.
After seeing my attack the remaining soldiers panicked. They were all shivering and trembling.
"FIRE!", I heard somebody yell which was my cue to get to cover. Gray and I ran away from the enemy's fire trying to dodge all of them.
"Shit! There isn't any cover!"
The bullet fire was getting faster and faster as more soldiers joined in.
"We're good as dead!"
There was no point in running anymore. No matter where we go we're still going to get shot. Might as well make a last stand before we did. I turned around to face the enemy but instead was greeted by a bullet to my chest.
The impact of the bullet pushed me back but to my surprise it didn't hurt. As a matter of fact I didn't feel anything.
"That's strange I should be in unbearable pain"
I looked down at the bullet wound in my chest. Blood wasn't gushing out, the bullet wound was just a tiny black hole that didn't sting at all.
My eyes widened as I saw the bullet wound disappear. My chest was back to normal. It was like I didn't even get shot.
"This must be one of our abilities that they implanted in us. If that's the case I have nothing to be scared of. Bullets can't hurt me."
I ran towards the soldiers letting their bullets hit me. It felt like getting hit with pebbles. I felt no pain nor no fear. I was unstoppable.
All of the soldiers cowered in fear as I got closer to them.
"He's not taking any damage! What should we do?!"
"We can't retreat! Master ordered us to capture them!", the leader of the group yelled in a shaky voice.
"I suggest you surrender before I hurt you!", I growled at them making them lower their weapons.
"Good, Now would you please tell me where we are?", I said looking at the "leader" of the group.
"I….. Can't tell you-"
I raised my flaming fist at him scaring the living daylights out of him.
"TELL ME!"
"ALRIGHT! We're in one of our bases in the desert! Just please don't kill me!", he said as hid his face with his hands.
I lowered my fist back to the side of my leg. "How do we get out of here-",
*ZAP!*
I was blasted with a bolt of lightning to my chest. The impact sent me flying to the wall as I screeched in pain.
"Natsu!", Gray yelled out as he ran over to my body.
"Are you alright?", he said as studied my chest.
I had a big black burnt spot on my chest from the attack.
"Who the hell could've done that?!"
I looked past Gray's shoulder to see the person who attacked me.
My mouth hung open as I locked eyes with my "opponent".
"Laxus!"
"You guys are pathetic, surrendering to these two cowards", Laxus said as he pointed to Gray and I.
This made Gray angry, "Laxus! What the hell are you doing?!"
"Who the hell is Laxus?!", he replied back glaring at Gray.
"My name is Codename Lightning and I am a super soldier for the Red Death!"
"And you two are my enemies!", he said as he pointed at Gray and I.
"No! Not him too! He sees Gray and I as enemies which means he'll have no hesitation to kill us."
"If I remember correctly when I knocked out Gray a red flashing button appeared on his forehead. When I clicked on the button it restored all of Gray's memories. Which means we're going to have to fight Laxus."
I got up from the ground and dusted myself off.
"So you want to fight us huh? Then come and get us!", I yelled as I assumed my fighting position.
"Gray, You'll be my backup"
"What the hell are you talking about Natsu!", he yelled in confusion.
"Gray you have powers too just like mine you just have to focus your energy"
"What the fuck does that mean!"
"Arrg! I don't know how to explain it just fight like you would normally do!", I said as I glared at Laxus.
Laxus cracked his neck and his knuckles as he looked me dead in the eyes.
"You're going to die traitor!", he said as yellow bright lightning came out his feet making him fly towards me. Two seconds had passed by and he was already near my face.
"Shit he's fast!"
I tried backing away from him but he was just too fast.
"Take this you piece of shit!", he yelled after he threw a punch of lightning towards me.
"I'm never going to be able to dodge that!"
I closed my eyes as I waited for the pain to rise but I didn't feel anything.
"His punch should've hit me by now"
I opened my eyes to see a frozen Laxus standing in front of me. His whole body was frozen in ice except for his head.
"I finally learned how to use my powers!", Gray yelled as he was shocked on what he just did. He wouldn't stop staring at his hand.
"WHY YOU LITTLE!..."
Laxus's frozen body started to flash a yellow light. Out of nowhere a lightning bolt struck him causing him to scream in pain.
"ARRRGH! I WILL PUT AN END TO YOUR PATHETIC LIVES!", he yelled as he broke free from the ice. His whole body was covered with lightning.
"It's time for you guys to die", he said as he widely opened his mouth.
It looked like he was about to shout.
"ARRGG!"
The lightning around him started to form into a shiny yellow ball inside his mouth. The louder Laxus shouted the more bigger the yellow ball became.
Once his mouth was filled with lightning Laxus closed his mouth and looked directly at Gray.
"LIGHTNING ROAR!", Laxus yelled as a big giant yellow beam of lightning flew to Gray.
Gray put his hands up to his face to try to shield his face from the attack. He knew it was pointless but he still did it anyway. But to his and my surprise ice started to form a barrier around Gray's body shielding him from the lightning.
"His ice powers are protecting him"
Even though Gray was protected from the lightning I could still see the pain in his face. Since he's using his ice to protect himself his energy must be draining fast.
"I have to help him!"
"I wonder if I can do the same thing that Laxus did with his feet earlier? Only one way to find out".
I focused all of my energy to my feet causing them to catch on fire.
"Perfect! Now all I need to do is to jump forward"
I bent my knees and jumped towards Laxus. To my surprise I was gliding just like Laxus did.
"Eat this!", I yelled at him as I tackled him through walls.
We were traveling at such a fast rate that we broke through all the walls in the laboratory. Once we broke through the final wall we were outside in the hot sunny desert. .
"Get off of me!", Laxus yelled as he hit me with his elbow making me lose my grip on him, and fall on the hot warm sand.
Laxus swiftly landed right in front of me.
"Now we have a bigger arena", he said as pointed all around the desert.
I gritted my teeth as I engulfed my body in flames.
"I'm not going to let you defeat me…", I whispered/growled
"I'm going to save everyone and destroy the Red Death!"
"SO PLEASE LAXUS! GIVE UP!"
Laxus chuckled, "You're such a CHILD!"
He shot lightning at my body making me feel numb everywhere.
"I can't feel anything…"
I fell to my knees, the pain was too much to bear.
"I feel so weak and tired I must've used almost all of my energy"
"You think that I'll just let you escape. Master ordered me to kill you and Ice. And if Master wants you both dead, then I don't have a problem with it"
"La….. Laxus!", I whispered more to myself than I did to him.
"Now", Laxus started to gather all of his energy to his feet. Making them glow yellow with lightning. Every second he was elevated even higher by the lightning until he started to float above the ground.
"Now DIE!", Laxus flew straight at me it was the end. I could barely move, I had to accept my fate.
"I'm sorry everyone"
I closed my eyes and waited for him to kill me. But instead of being hit with lightning I was hit by ice. The impact of the ice sent me flying away from Laxus's attack.
"NOO!", Laxus yelled as he couldn't stop his attack. He was headed straight to a generator right next to the lab.
"DAMMIT I CAN'T STOP!", he roared as he collided with the generator.
*BOOM!*
The generator exploded gushing out lightning and fire all around the lab. The fire started to grow rapidly with the lightning. It was only in a matter of seconds that the lab would blow up too.
"NATSU!"
I turned around and saw Gray driving a four door car.
"COME ON I FOUND OUR WAY OUT!", he said as he pointed to the car.
"I…. ", I stopped my sentence as I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Laxus walking really slowly towards me. His whole body was burnt and filled with cuts. He looked like he was barely standing.
Once he got in front of me he whispered, "I won't let you….. escape".
He fell face flat on the sand. His body was not moving an inch.
"Laxus?..",
I got on my knees and flipped his body over. When his unconscious face was facing me I saw the same exact red button that Gray had on his forehead.
"So my theory was right"
I pushed the blinking red button making it turn black signaling that it was off.
"Finally..", I groaned
"NATSU! Come on!", Gray yelled as he started beeping the horn.
"I'm coming!", I growled as I picked up Laxus's limp body and placed it on the back of the car.
"Great now let's get going before we get caught up in the explosion", Gray said as was waiting for me to get on.
I turned around to face the burning lab.
"If the three of us were in this lab, wouldn't that mean that Lucy's here too?", my eyes widened.
"No Gray we can't leave yet"
"AND why the hell not?"
"We can't leave Lucy in there!"
"How do you know that she's in there?!"
"WE WERE ALL IN THERE! That must mean that she's in there too!"
"NATSU! WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW! WE HAVE TO LEAVE NOW!"
"NO! I AIN'T LEAVING HER!"
Tears started to form in the corners of my eyes.
"I know that you care about her but we have to go back to our base and inform everyone. Then once we plan our attack we can go rescue Lucy and everyone else that has been captured by the Red Death.", Gray said softly trying to convince me to get in the car.
"Lucy….."
"Ok….", I whispered with a dead voice as I got in the car.
Gray put his hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry we'll save her".
I didn't even want to respond to him I just wanted to run back in the lab and save Lucy but that wasn't going to happen.
Gray stepped on the gas and drove us away from the lab. I didn't even bother to look back at the lab as it exploded. I just kept looking at Laxus's unconscious body waiting for him to wake up. That was the only I could at this point.
"I'm sorry… Lucy"
…
(3rd person pov)
5 minutes before the lab exploded
The mysterious masked man started to run frantically around the lab. He knew that he had to evacuate but there was something he had to do first. He ran into one of the experimental room hoping to find his target.
Once he saw a blonde woman in a container he smiled.
"Perfect! I found you!"
He pushed one of the buttons below the container and ran outside of the room as he made his way to the escape choppers.
"Maybe you can do what Codename Lightning couldn't do", he smirked as continued to make his way to the chopper.
The container opened releasing the blonde woman that was inside of it. As she stepped outside she pulled out a pistol and cocked it.
"Codename Death has been activated. Proceeding to complete mission. Codename Fire, Ice, and Lightning are good as dead". she smirked as she made her way out of the burning lab.
"This should be fun"
