Thinking quickly Natsu jumped in front of Lucy hoping to draw the beast's attention. It worked momentarily. The creature lunged for him causing Natsu to have to dodge quickly to the right. Lucy was quick to react as well calling out Taurus and Scorpio hoping to cause enough ruckus to give Natsu an opening. As the sand blast from Scorpio hit the wyvern in the eyes Taurus caused only a minor gash in it's leg, but this was enough to send the beast howling and rearing back. Drawing out her Fleuve d'étoiles, Lucy latched onto one of it's wings and pulled with all she had in her trying to throw it off balance. Taurus noticing his master's plan ran to aid her with his strength.
Spotting his opening Natsu didn't hesitate to unleash his Karyū no Kenkaku also aiding in knocking the thing down. Upon impact with the ground a disturbing crack was heard and the mages quickly realized they had succeeded in breaking a wing. However they couldn't gloat over the small victory just yet since the ground shook violently as a result of the wyverns crash mixed with it's painful howling causing the dreaded stalagmites to start crashing down.
Unfortunately, neither Scorpio nor Taurus had been fast enough and both took blows from the massive rock formations, causing them to have to retreat back to the spirit world. Natsu's eyes widened as he realized Lucy was also about to be ran through. Images of a dead Future Lucy replayed in his mind as he cried out for her. "LUCY LOOK OUT!" he yelled as he vainly attempted to reach her in time. So focused on her well being he lost sight of the fact that they were in the middle of battle and that the wyvern was pulling itself from the ground.
Before Lucy could react to the sound of Natsu's voice she found herself being whisked off by Loke. Sighing in relief that she would not be crushed just yet she said a quick thanks as the spirit set her down.
"Anytime hime," the playboy spirit smiled and winked as he straightened his glasses and tie. Taking survey of the surrounding his eyes bulged as he took in what was about to happen.
Lucy reacted before Loke could, "NATSU BEHIND YOU! Forget about me dummy and pay attention!"
A brief look of relief passed over Natsu's face noticing that Loke got to Lucy before she could be injured, however the look on both their faces as well as her outcry caused him to pivot in mid stride while lighting his fist ablaze ready for round two with the monstrosity. He was a moment to late in his reaction time and this gave the beast a chance to strike back by flailing it's tail in his direction. He was lucky enough to avoid impalement but still ended up being crushed into the cavern walls.
Shaking his head of dizziness he was now face to face with the snarling beast. "Out of my face you overgrown lizard!" he bellowed while delivering his Karyū no Tekken into it's jaw.
The wyvern stumbled back a moment releasing Natsu in the process giving him a chance to re-group with Lucy and Loke. Once again it screeched at it's prey and charged forward. Lucy once more prepared her Fleuve d'étoiles for action calling to Loke, "Go for it's leg!" Seeing the spirit's nod of agreement she wasted no time in latching onto the injured leg and once more pulling with her might and running to the side to try and throw it off balance while Loke gathered the strength of Regulus and delivered an attack to the gash opening it further and causing the monster to once more rear back in pain and howl.
Taking it's distraction as his cue, Natsu brought his hands together calling forth Karyū no Kōen in hopes of pushing the thing out to the opening of the cave and getting them all outside where they wouldn't have to dodge falling death rocks while fighting.
Lucy watched in horrid slow motion as the spell Natsu was preparing to unleash registered. Rushing forward and yelling his name she attempted to stop him but it was too late. Natsu's destructive magic had no place inside a cave let alone the flaming ball of firey death that was headed directly at their enemy. This would end badly for all of them. Forcing Loke's gate to close she hoped to save him from injury just in case they did make it out of this alive and she needed his help further.
Seeing the oncoming attack the wyvern lunged it's tail at Natsu in one last effort of self preservation. However it misjudged the distance and only clipped his leg with a spike on it's tail forcing the appendage to crash into the rocky walls once more. The impact of such finally triggering the collapse of the cave.
"NATSU! " Lucy yelled as she watched the blood trickle down his leg. This was not good. That poison worked fast and they would have minutes to react at best. Trying to think about how to get them all out she didn't give enough attention to the falling rocks above.
Ignoring the pain from the minor wound Natsu rushed forward in an attempt to push Lucy out of the way of the falling boulder headed right for her. Realizing he wouldn't make it in time he chose a split second decision and let loose a Karyū no Hōkō in hopes of busting the thing into smaller less deadly pieces as he collapsed to the ground roaring out her name.
Both attacks hit simultaneously causing a massive explosion to occur.
Bum Bum BUMMMMMMMMMMM! LMFAO Yes yes I know I'll get some luvin hate on leavin you all hangin again but I can't help myself!
SO time for some translations:
Fleuve d'étoiles-That's Lucy's kewl whip that Virgo gave her
Karyū no Kenkaku-That's the Sword Horn AKA Flaming Head Butt LOL
Karyū no Tekken - Iron Fist basically flaming punch
Karyū no Kōen- Brilliant Flame that's when he pulls all his energy to his hands and brings them together and makes his firey death ball of goodness
Karyū no Hōkō- Dragon Roar if I have to explain this you need to be slapped
So yeh I figured that since we all don't speak Japanese (or French) and I'm crazy and made sure to triple look up the spellings with correct accent marks I'd help you all out :)
Anyway so this was a labor for me and I tried really hard because I've always wanted to write a fight scene that wasn't so lacking. Honestly I think I labored over this chapter more than any other. LOL That said I'll still except flames on it (Which I'll feed to Natsu later) because fight scenes are the one place I feel like I'm sucking fierce. But hey I tried so *bleh* HAHAHHAHAH
Keep sending me fuzzy happy thoughts while I take a nap in Happy's mind because the smell of the place is starting to grow on me MMUUAHAHHAHHAH
