Chapter 2

Today, I woke up with the urge to bash some skulls. Tanzeru and I were forced to sleep in an alley, thanks to Natsu burning the shop-house down. But, I plan on returning the favor one hundred times over. I knew Tanzeru wouldn't approve of me looking for a fight, that's why I was sure to wake up before he did, that way he couldn't stop me. I was determined to get to this 'Fairy Tail' place as soon as possible, especially now that I have found a good use for that board with wheels.

I took my bag and slung it over my shoulder, after all, you could never be too prepared. I put the board with wheels on the ground and stood up on the top, with the wheels on the ground. I stretched my arms out, one directly in front of me and one directly behind me and put my legs in this same position. It was the best way to keep balance. I also decided to wear my special gloves for the occasion. They were black gloves, much like the ones boxers use, but these ones were specifically made for wind magic users. It helps us to capture and control the surrounding wind with ease. Perfect for beating the crap out of Natsu.

As I stood on the board, I waited for the perfect gust of wind to pass. When it finally came, I used it to push my board forward. Now, even if the wind got weaker, the wheels will keep me going until the wind gets stronger again. For this reason, I named the board with wheels, a 'wind-board'. When I stooped down on the board, I went even faster and soon I was zooming down the streets of Magnolia.

I took the same route those three and their cat took the other day and ended up in front of Fairy Tail in a flash. The problem was trying to figure out how to stop the wind-board. Without thinking, I put my hands on the front of it, where it was curved, and I pulled up on it as hard as I could. The board flipped over and I flipped along with it. I landed face first in the dirt, leaving a small impression of my face in the ground.

I got up and I filled my cheeks with air and yelled to the top of my lungs, "Natsu! You pink-haired bastard, Come out here and fight me if you have the guts!" Within a second Natsu came stomping outside completely ablaze with fire, I think I really pissed him off, but that was what I was trying to do. A large crowd of people followed closely behind Natsu.

"I didn't think you were so chicken you would bring a gang to back you up."

"Don't worry, these guys ain't gonna jump in, they're just here to watch me beat the crap outta ya!" he snarled with an irritating and arrogant smirk.

"Well I hate to disappoint the crowd, but seems like they came for nothing, then. By the way I'll give you the first hit, and to make it fair, I won't even try to avoid it." I returned the same irritatingly arrogant smirk he gave me.

"Don't get mad if you can't move anymore after this!" He focused all the fire to his fist and came at me and just like I promised I didn't move an inch. Natsu didn't scare me at all, I stood my ground. That's when it hit me, his fist that is. Right in my jaw, too. It felt like a dragon who's fists were on fire just hit me. If my legs weren't so strong, I would have been lifted off the ground and sent flying. I felt the blood roll down from the side of my mouth as everyone started murmuring. Natsu stepped back, I never would have guessed this guy was so strong.

I laughed off the pain and spat out the blood that was building up in my mouth. This was actually going to be fun. "I've never felt someone hit like that before, this might be an interesting fight after all." I could hear some of the crowd whispering, "She stood her own against Natsu. Who is she?" For some reason, it made me feel cool to get so much attention. Natsu was just staring at me with his usual angry glare. "Well, what are you waiting for, its your turn to hit me."

I pulled back my fist and gathered as much wind power as I could into it. When I was satisfied, my fist looked like there was a tornado raging around it, and I lunged at Natsu, punching him on his jaw the same way he punched me. It was a satisfying feeling to punch Natsu with my own fist, but somehow, he stood his ground. Never once did anyone ever stand their ground after receiving a blow from my fist. I stepped back, angry with this persistent pest. Some blood rolled down the side of his mouth.

"That didn't hurt one bit!" he proclaimed breathing fire into the air and stomping about like a raging idiot. He wiped the blood from the side of his mouth and he smiled wickedly. In a flash, a hard rain poured from the sky. I was so busy concentrating on Natsu that I didn't realize when the dark clouds rolled in.

The blonde girl from the other day pushed through the crowd and grabbed Natsu's arm and tried to pull him away, but he didn't budge. She started to scream at him.

"Natsu, stop it. Makarov is going to have your head if you destroy anything. Plus it's raining, even if you could use your flames, they'd be weak by the time they hit her. Now come inside."

I snickered a bit trying to hold in the laughter. I knew I should be leaving too, but this was way too funny.

"Eh, but Lucy, she came to pick a fight with me first."

"Don't start with me, I didn't ask you that!"

That's it I couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed my heart out. "You better listen to your girlfriend before you get in trouble!" I mocked. He pushed away from Lucy and punched me in my gut. His punches were surprisingly strong, even without the flames. Strong or not, he wasn't getting away with it, so I punched him in his gut too. Soon we fought, hit for hit, none of us using magic. When he hit me, I hit him back in the same spot.

We fought for almost five minutes. I knew Tanzeru was watching, I could feel his disapproving eyes pierce me from behind, but I was too busy fighting Natsu to care. Both our faces were covered in blood. Suddenly, a feeling overcame me so I pushed Natsu back and jumped in the opposite direction. In a flash, lightning struck the spot we were standing in and my heart jumped. We both ended up falling to the floor, but Natsu got back up in a second while me on the other hand stayed down. I crouched in an almost fetal position with my hands on my head and my teeth were uncontrollably chattering. I didn't want anyway to see me in this pitiful condition, but I can't help it when lightning strikes.

"Ha, for someone with such big talk, its really pathetic that you're afraid of lightning!" Natsu's taunting words hurt more than his punches since this was probably the one thing I was shamed of. Tanzeru ran to the middle of the circle the crowd was making around Natsu and I and grabbed my shoulder. He yelled at Natsu, "If you want to fight someone, fight me." Before he had time to move, Natsu punched him right in his stomach and sent him flying. Tanzeru was much weaker than me physically.

When I saw Natsu punch him, MY little brother, I felt my anger overwhelm me, and forced my fears away. I stood to my feet to notice Natsu smile at me, the same arrogant smile from before, but now it didn't phase me. It was impossible to get me angrier than I already was, it felt like a beast was controlling me.

"You're little friend was weaker than you are. That's what you get when you challenge Natsu Dragneel."

I grabbed him by his scarf with my right arm and stretched my left arm to the sky at an angle. I snarled with anger in my voice, "DIE! NATSU DRAGNEEL!" I forced lightning out of the sky and directed it using my own body as a lightning rod. A large bolt of lightning completely engulfed us. Unlike most lightning that lasts for less than a second, this was completely different. I was sucking down every bit of lightning nearby like a vacuum. I was getting hurt too, but at least I get to take this bastard down with me. I wouldn't die from this blast, but there's a possibility he will.

The lightning lasted about 10 seconds before it scattered away and there was nothing left of it. Natsu already lost consciousness and I could feel everyone's eyes on me, but that was all I could feel. Without warning I fell to my knees unable to move. My eyes started to close, and just before I blacked out I heard Tanzeru calling my name. I wish I had the energy to apologize to him for getting him so worried, but I lost consciousness.

And here ends another exciting chapter. Now we know that Karina has not one, but two different types of magic. How often do you see that! What's even weirder is that she's afraid of lightning, even though its her magic. How is Fairy Tail going to react to this double magic user? Find out in the next exciting chapter, Dun Dun Duuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnn!
