Rated "T" for blood and violence. If you don't like either of these...do not read. The rest, please enjoy.

- Roar -

He saw the first shot.

The smaller dragons fired off powerful blasts towards his friends. Only one of them was hit, trying to save another.

He smelt the stench of blood that soon followed.

Crimson splattered the ground that was covered in debris. The smell of this blood was too familiar.

He heard the screams of terror.

Echoes of sorrow went throughout his head, slamming against his skull, making it throb. The blood in his body seemed to boil as it was overwhelmed with pure rage and agony. Such powerfully stimulating feelings engulfed his heart making it feel like it was being surrounded by an intense inferno. He used every ounce of breath and forced it into his lungs. He roared.

"GRAY!"

Natsu lunged off the enflamed dragon's back and headed for the ground. Creating a crater under his feet, he ran towards his best friend. Upon first sight, he saw Juvia's tear streaked face and horrified expression followed by Lyon's grief-stricken eyes that were also flooding with tears. Lyon slowly looked to the dragon slayer then collapsed to his knees. Natsu only ran faster, trying to get to his best friend before another round of shots went off. The smaller dragons saw the pinkette coming towards the raven. They roared at the sky and fired. Natsu gawked at the scene of his best friend and rival being bombarded, shots going all throughout his body; more blood coating the ground beneath the ice mage's feet.

"STOP!"

The dragon slayer's body felt helpless as he watched Gray's eyes move to look down at his tattered, bloodied, body. Natsu felt physically sick when Gray's eyes moved to meet his. They stood there, as if in a world of their own making, unaffected by anyone or anything. Gray slowly lifted his shaky arm into the air and pointed at the sky, his hand forming the "Fairy Tail" sign; the sign of his family. Natsu let only a single tear escape as he clearly heard Gray whisper his name, as if he was whispering goodbye.

"N-Natsu…"

Natsu watched as everything moved in slow motion. Gray dropped his arm and turned back towards the dragons that still fired towards his body. Natsu forced everything and anything he had left to make his body move forward. He ran as if there wasn't a single obstacle or boundary that would keep him from his friend. As soon as Gray was in arms reach, Natsu reached an arm towards him and...everything stopped.

He heard the final shot.

He saw his best friend fall backwards towards the ground.

He smelt the blood that was now splattered across his face, covering his hands and feet.

He roared.


(A/N) Edited. Slightly.

This was a very upsetting scene, but of course Natsu was no where to be found...so I wrote him in. I hope you enjoyed this. Please Review!
