Here's second chapter!
By the way, I made Natsu's proposal that way cause I was trying to keep his character in tact (if I ever achieved that)
I think he's romantic in a way, in a Natsu way which is why I didn't use the "Will You Marry Me" bit.
On to the second chapter!
Chapter 2: Ruka
As dawn broke, team Natsu headed out for a mission. They had to leave early because it will be a long trip for them, so much for Natsu. The couple decided to break the news of their engagement to the guild when they come back after their mission, so for now it's their little secret.
"You seem extra happy today Natshu" Happy exclaimed as the cat floated around him
"Why wouldn't I? We're going on a mission and I heard this guy's strong, it's getting me fired up!"
Little did they know that the real reason he's happy is because the love of his life agreed to marry him.
"We should still be careful, who knows what this guy could do" Lucy said.
"Yeah, you should listen to your girlfriend flame brain. Don't get so cocky" a familiar voice said as he approached the trio.
"What did you say ice breathe? You wanna go?" Natsu retorted
"Sure. I'm going to kick the ash out of your ass" Gray threatened as the two were now face to face exchanging death glares.
"Not again" Lucy sighed.
"That's enough!" a feminine voice called out that caught both guy's attention. As soon they saw the scarlet hair, they froze.
"Hey Erza, you got the tickets?" Lucy asked as she broke the tension.
"I did, Lucy. The train's leaving in 10 minutes. We should all head inside, it would be troublesome if we got left" she replied.
"Natsu, Gray. Carry our things" Erza ordered as she glared at the two men.
"Aye sir!" they both said
Natsuwas now on Lucy's lap as the motion sickness kicked in. Erza didn't allow Wendy to cast Troia on him for attempting a fight with Gray earlier.
"C'mon Erza. It's been a while since Wendy casted Troia on Natsu, and besides it's going to be a long trip"
Lucy tried pleading Erza for she was feeling sorry for his fiancé.
"Very well then. I do need to explain the details of our mission and this is important. Wendy.." she looked towards her and little dragon slayer took this as a sign and casted the spell on Natsu.
"There you go Natsu-san" she said softly
Natsu immediately felt the effect and the motion sickness faded away
"Thank you, Wendy" he flashed her with a grin and she returned a smile as well.
"So Erza, about this guy we're up against?" Gray asked
"I have learned that this man's name is Ruka. He's quite a notorious man and known for his Nullification magic. Also, he is at the top most wanted list of the magic council. " the knight replied.
"What kind of magic is that?" Happy asked
"I know that magic, I've read about it. It's a rare type of magic and only a few people can use it. I learned that wizards with Nullification power can cancel out any type of magic it's enemies possess" Lucy said
"In english?" Gray asked
"Which means, our magic is useless and will have no effect against him. He'll only nullify our powers if we attack. Which is why it's rare because it takes years to perfect this kind of magic."
"That is right. We are up against a very powerful mage. He is practically invincible with the magic he possess." Erza added with a worried expression, is she actually nervous?
"I'm scared" Wendy whispered
"It's alright Wendy, I'm sure I'm going to beat the brains out of him" Natsu reassured the slayer and plastered a grin.
"Natsu" the scarlet woman said to get his attention.
He looked up and stared at the knight.
"Bear in mind that you alone is not enough to face this man. I don't want you to charge without thinking first. We don't want you to cause any trouble that will lead us to our defeat" her eyes were dead cold as he said this to the pink haired man.
"Are you saying I'm weak? Natsu threatened
"I am not saying you are weak, I'M TELLING YOU TO KEEP YOUR GROUND! Our lives are at cost in here." she retorted
Natsu had his jaw and fists clenched. He was clearly angry, how could Erza possibly think he would do that? She knew better that he'd rather die for protecting his nakama than do anything that will cause trouble for them. He and Erza continued to exchange glares, if only he could tackle Erza right there and then he would have done it but he knew he wouldn't stand a chance.
"Natsu" Lucy called out as she squeezed his wrist, sometimes when things get out of hand this is her way to soothe Natsu from his anger. Soon, his muscles relaxed and broke their staring contest.
"But you know better that I would do anything to protect my nakama, Erza" Natsu whispered as rested his chin in his arm and stared out at the window.
Feeling remorse, Erza remained silent knowing that the man was right.
"So how are we going to defeat this guy then if our magic is useless against him?" Happy wondered aloud
That's when it them. How are they going to defeat this guy? Do they even stand a chance against him? And who knows what else this guy can do. But they are Fairy Tail after all, they did the impossible most of the time. Heck they even defeated the Grimoire Heart and survived Acnologia's attack, they even regained their title as the strongest guild by winning the Grand Magic Games. So there is a possibility they could beat this guy, right?
Suddenly a thought popped into Lucy's mind
"I have an idea, but it's pretty risky"
"Alright, let's hear it"
