Chapter Thirty-One

Dragon Rage

The Fairy Tail Guild building

Wendy Marvell kneeled above the body of a nameless Fairy Tail wizard as she worked to heal him. That`s what she had been doing for the past hour so far, healing the wounded and even some of the citizens of Magnolia had come here inside the Guild to take refuge from whatever chaos what was happening outside.

The young Dragon Slayer let out a soft sigh.

"Don`t overdoe it Wendy," Carla said from beside her.

She turned her attention to the Exceed beside her and gave the white cat a soft pat on the head.

"I am alright," she said, "I can manage my magic more than before."

Carla smiled softly at her.

"But still, don`t overdoe it," she said, "You won`t be able to heal anyone there if you run out of magic. With Porlyusica not able to come to help, all of us have to depend on you."

Wendy glanced around the guild that was filled with civilians.

"I hope that Levy found out about this barrier that`s keeping everyone in," Carla said.

"I hope so too," Wendy said and instantly took notice of the Master there along with Warren.

"…Magic Council is sending help," the Master was saying, "But it take some time before they arrive…I presume we just have to hold on till then…what bad luck, for Laxus and the Thunder Legion to go out on a job, and we can`t reach Gildarts for he is off god knows where…"

"I guess we just have to hold on till help arrives from the outside," Warren told him.

"With that," Makarov said, "and Levy working upon that strange barrier. I don`t even have a lot of…"

Whatever Makarov was about to say next was drawn out as Wendy`s dragon senses went suddenly on alert. That caused the girl to startle out of listening to what Makarov and Warren were saying.

She gasped as the cold feeling settled upon her, but it wasn`t all that unfamiliar for it had a touch that she had become good friends with…

"N…Natsu-san?" she whispered.

But what happened? Wendy thought.

On another part of the city, by the barrier where Levy was working on unlocking this strange spell`s secrets, Gajeel Redfox attention was suddenly drawn back toward the city, a look of surprise crossing his usually frowning face.

What surprised him was because that was his Dragon senses that picked it up and he recognizes the smoldering feeling that he was sensing.

"Salamander," he said simply.

Just half an hour ago, he had seen the pink haired Salamander and the cheerleader leave them to go look for the Ice bastard as Salamander had put it. Now that he realized it, they haven`t returned yet…

Could they have run into an enemy, he thought.

Gajeel found he was not happy with that. Why was he the one seating there doing nothing while Salamander gets to fight? The Iron Dragon Slayer stood up from where he was seating drawing Levy`s attention toward him.

"G...Gajeel," she said, "Where are you going?"

"I`m going into town," he said, not turning to look at her, "Just continue with what you are doing shrimp…I`ll be back soon enough anyway."

With that he jumped away, and Levy can feel worry starting to seep through her. She had felt safe knowing that he was nearby…now…

"Levy is something wrong?" Jet asked.

The small blue haired girl shook her head refocusing upon the many books that were piled around in front of her.

I must not get distracted, she thought, I must figure out how to take down this barrier and let the people out of the city…

"I am fine," Levy answered him, but in her head she continued, But be safe Gajeel…

Rave suddenly turned at the burst of magic.

T…That feeling, she thought, there is no mistaking it…but how?

She quickly made her way toward where the magic had come from.

I have to find out.

To say GrayHood was surprised was saying something.

The hooded man stood there as the Dragon Slayer suddenly unleashed a whole lot of power in front of him causing the young man to widen his eyes from beneath his hood. His mouth had dropped slightly as he watched the flames in front of him take the shape of a dragon with the Dragon Slayer standing in the middle of the fire, two embers eyes staring straight toward him…

"To think you could unlock this power Dragon Slayer," he said, "At least you`re taking me seriously this time…and all I had to do is to kill the blond girl…"

Suddenly the Dragon Slayer rushed forward, the flames following him his movement like a trail of fires and GrayHood smirked raising his hand.

"To attack me head on," he said, "You have some guts boy."

A magic circle appeared in front of his hand and then the Dragon Slayer stopped in midair for at least a second and GrayHood smirked and then, to his surprise cracks started to appear in the air around the Dragon Slayer until it exploded outward the backlash causing GrayHood to step back in shock.

M…My magic couldn`t hold him, he thought, It`s more powerful than…

The Dragon Slayer slammed straight into his chest causing him to let out a yell of pain before he was thrown backward from the attack and smashing into the ground creating a hole into the earth thanks to his magic.

Then Natsu while he was in the air raised both of his hand amassing a large ball of fire before throwing it down at him.

"FIRE DRAGON BRILLIANT FLAME," he yelled throwing it down at him.

The large blast of fire aimed straight for GrayHood as a large explosion which took out numerous houses in the vicinity took place as a large ball of fire engulfed everything. Then Natsu landed back on the ground.

His entire body was covered with scales and even his face was now reminiscent of a dragon`s as his teeth had became more pronounced along with his ears which had become pointed and longer than his normal ones. His eyes had turned into embers as they glowed as he had both of his fist tightened with flames all over his body.

Then out of the smoke of the previous explosions, GrayHood stepped out a soft chuckle coming from his form.

"You should be honored," he said, "To have caused such damages to my clothes. Not even the Dragon Slayers of the past could have done such a thing…"

As he walked out of the flames, the hood had been burned off from the last attack, and he had taken it off, staying with the simple shirt he was wearing underneath. His head was covered in scars and cut as if someone had carved it out of wood, one that had a vague idea of what a head should look like. His eyes were black with red rings around them as he stood there staring at the Dragon Slayer.

"But I am done playing," he said, "Come at me."

Natsu growled angrily before taking a deep breath and then let out a large blast of fire.

"FIRE DRAGON`S ROAR,"

GrayHood smirked as he activated his magic, splitting the flames into many sides.

"You may have gotten a boost of power," he said, "but I have more experience than you do…Dragon scum."

To his surprise, the flames twisted upon itself as they started to form around Natsu`s fist who was charging at him, the large fires turning into a tornado around him. GrayHood grunted.

"Gravity Zero,"

Suddenly Natsu started to float in the air, a surprised look crossing his face as he was rising into the air and a smirk crossed GrayHood`s face. He continued to raise the Dragon Slayer into the air and smirked. A lot of the debris around them had started to float also all around the Dragon Slayer who was glancing around, not understanding what was happening.

"You are at my mercy now Dragon Slayer," he said, "Gravity Centre."

A magic circle appeared around Natsu`s floating form as all of the debris started to head straight him and smashing into him at great forces causing the young man to yell out in pain as the large pieces of concretes smashed against him until they were all covering his body.

"Now, for the coup de grace," he said, bringing his palms together a magic circle appeared around him.

"Gravity…Crush,"

Then the debris that were covering Natsu`s form started to twist upon themselves and getting smaller and smaller…until a bright red flames suddenly blew them backward causing a large fire to spread in the skies above. GrayHood himself feels shock.

He was able to withstand the Gravity Crush and escape from it? He thought, what kind of Dragon Slayer is he?

Rave arrived at the area where she had felt the Dragon magic and her eyes widened in shock finding Lucy on the ground with a sword stabbing through her body. The dark haired girl quickly reached the fallen blonde girl and kneeled beside her and removed the sword.

"Lucy, please don't be dead," she said softly.

She put a hand on the side of the girl`s neck, frantically searching for a pulse and then felt relief when she felt it pulsing against her finger.

She is alive, she thought, but she won`t last much longer…

Rave glanced around herself and her eyes fell upon the flames that were in the skies and the powerful feeling she can feel coming from it.

There is no doubt about it, she thought, The Dragon`s Rage. I didn`t think Natsu could have reached this level of power while he is still so young.

She shook her head.

Now is not the time to be lost in thoughts, she thought, I have to get Lucy out of here and get medical help soon…

Rave put a hand on the ground as a magic circle appeared.

"Crystal Clone."

A crystal duplicate of herself appeared and then took her features and shape until an actual clone of herself was crouching right in front of her. The clone gave her a nod and a smile one which Rave returned.

"Get her to Wendy," she said, "she might be the only one that can heal her in time."

"You can count on me," her clone said before picking up Lucy from the ground.

Then the clone made its way back toward where the Fairy Tail building was situated. Rave turned her attention toward where the fight Natsu was fighting. She still couldn`t believe that she was actually seeing it again.

I guess you have more potential than I first thought Natsu Dragneel.

GrayHood was staring at the Dragon Slayer that was floating in the air. Natsu had his attention upon him and the pure anger that the boy was feeling was visible thought every pores of his face as his magic intensified.

"Give me your best shot Dragon Slayer," GrayHood yelled, "I have survived more than you can imagine. There is no way that you will ever be able to beat me."

Natsu let out a large Dragon roar as the cracks started to appear in the air around him as the entire things exploded outward causing GrayHood`s eyes to widen in shock.

With just a roar, he thought, Unreal.

Then the Dragon Slayer landed on the ground across him in a crouch. Then Natsu slowly stood up as the flames danced around his form.

"I don't care what you have survived or whatever other nonsense you are talking about," Natsu growled, "But what I do know is that you have made the worst mistake that you could ever make in your life."

GrayHood blinked.

"A mistake?" he said.

Natsu looked up at him, his amber eyes glaring straight at him.

"You should have never mess with Fairy Tail and my friends," he said.

Then with a burst of fire, Natsu disappeared from where he was causing GrayHood to blink in surprise glancing around himself.

Where did he go?"

Then, a punch came out of nowhere slamming into his stomach causing him to widen his eyes in shock. GrayHood`s eyes stared down at Natsu who had appeared there with lightning flashing across his flames, a look of pure anger across his face.

Then the punch threw GrayHood backward slamming the guy through a building which he followed after him. GrayHood slid upon the ground behind the building as the Dragon Slayer appeared in front of him.

A Lightning Fire Dragon, he thought, What kind of Dragon Slayer is he?

"FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK," Natsu yelled, causing him to yell out in pain, "Followed by Iron Fist, Talons,"

GrayHood was send flying back down into the ground as he landed down on the ground in a crater. The wizard however stood back up.

"I will not fall here," he yelled summoning a large magic circle, "Gravity Pull."

The force pulled Natsu down toward him but the young Dragon Slayer slammed both of his feet into his face and send out a large blast of fire from there causing GrayHood to yell out in pain.

Natsu then landed on the ground.

"Then to finish this with my new secret technique," Natsu said, as fire and lightning appeared around his hands, "Crimson Lotus Exploding Lightning Blade."

GrayHood was thrown off by the last attack as he landed on the ground, beaten and unconscious as Natsu stood above him covered in bruises but otherwise okay. Then he pulled his head back and let out a large roar of victory.

H…He actually defeated GrayHood? Rave thought, Just how much potential do you have Natsu?

Erza once again fall to one knees with a large gash on the side of her guts. The girl was growing tired and running out of magical energy and the monsters simply continue to double in number.

"This is getting ridiculous," she said as she stood back again.

A strange chuckle echoed around them drawing her attention, and Gajeel was walking toward them a smirk upon his face.

"G…Gajeel?"

"I was going to help Salamander but I see that you`re having most of the fun Titania," the Iron Dragon Slayer said as he walked forward, a bloodthirsty grin upon his lips as his red eyes were showing his eagerness for battle.

"Oh, another player," Sanath said smirking, "and a Dragon Slayer at that, I must say, your guild have a lot of Dragon Slayers…it will be quite a feat to kill."

Gajeel cracked his knuckles as his grin became even more pronounced.

"Kill you say?" the Iron Dragon Slayer said, "Just try it…and I will show you what it really mean to go against Fairy Tail."

Gajeel enter the carnage...
