Diclaimer: Other Chapters
Spoiler: Wendy managed to obtain Dragon Force in the manga finally, and she is a badass! For those that have been calling Wendy weak, read the latest chapter of Fairy Tail.
Story Start!
"Damnit, where did they go?" Naruto asked as he and Wendy walked through the forest, while Wendy tasted the air to see if she could taste Natsu on it. She frowned when she noticed that all the different tastes were messing with her ability to track with this unique method. If only she could use her magic, then she could enter Dragon Force and use... no, she still hasn't mastered Dragon Force yet.
Dragon Force was something that gave a Dragon Slayer immense power, but sadly Wendy couldn't fully use that art to it's fullest just yet. She could enter a form of Dragon Force, but her magical power wasn't yet strong enough to handle a full transformation without external assistance. What she had showed Erza and Morgiana was only what she could manage at this time. It was a true Dragon Force, but sort of a Semi-Dragon Force. Her own Dragon Force was different than that, but the anger that came with that primal state was something she didn't like. That was part of the reason she didn't to go into her actual Dragon Force state.
So basically, what she had shown Erza and Morgiana was not he real Dragon Force, but a fake she made to help her learn to control her real Dragon Force. It was sort of like a training Dragon Force to get her used to the real thing.
"Maybe they are lost?" Wendy suggested, while Naruto face palmed lightly. Of course Natsu and Happy would be the first to get lost, while leaving the two of them behind. All the new scents were driving Naruto insane, so he wasn't about to try using his nose to find them. He figured Wendy was just as frustrated as he was with how the air must taste.
"Wendy, do you think you could use magic if you ate enough air?" Naruto asked, and Wendy had to think about it. If she could recover her own magic through eating air, then maybe it was possible for her to regain her magic trough the same method. It wasn't like she had anything to lose by doing this, and with her body she would be pretty resistant to the changes in magic. It might hurt her stomach a bit to eat the magic of a different world, but if she could regain her magic it would be well worth it.
"I will try." Wendy finally agreed, before she started to suck in the air like a vacuum. Her cheeks puffing up, before she throat bulged as she swallowed before turning back to normal. Naruto felt the air pressure slowly drop, and he could actually see the air rushing into her open mouth. He could feel her magic slowly starting to go back to her, before Wendy started to slow down on eating the air for some reason.
"Getting full?" Naruto couldn't help but ask, already knowing the answer was a no. He had hardely ever seen Wendy actually get full from just eating air, since it was pretty much converted into magic straight away. She shook her head and continued to eat the air, before her stomach bluged lightly, before once more compressing the air and returning to normal. This process went on and on, until he was sure that she had a whole lot more air in her than anything else. Once she stopped eating air she sighed in relief when she felt her magic flowing through her body again.
It was hard to believe she had almost overlooked the fact that she could gain magic by eating air, and pure air like this would give her such a big boost she was at her full reserves in no time. Her own magic was once more completely unlocked, which meant she could once more fight at Naruto's side. Now that her magic was working again, she went over to Naruto's side and prepared to see if she could jump start his magical power. Naruto held his hand out to stop her, before he pointed at the weapons he had on his body.
'That's right, he has his own magical supply stored away in those gems.' Wendy thought with smile at him as he closed his eyes. It would seem she wasn't the only one that could jump start their own magic, and while he couldn't eat an element to do it, he could absorb his own magic from the gems and use that to recharge and get his magic flowing again. His own magic wouldn't hurt him either, and as the gems glowed brightly she was able to feel his magic rise to what it had been before something had sealed their magic away.
"... I feel sorry for Natsu." Naruto said with a light grin, knowing that Natsu didn't know that if he ate fire he could restart his magic. That, and the amount of fire he would need to find to start his magic would be even more challenging to come across. Wendy actually giggled for a moment when she thought about how much Natsu would complain when he saw that they could use magic again. Wendy saw Naruto glow brightly, before all his Silver Artifacts were stored away with the exception of the sword and sheild strapped onto his back. In another glow, Naruto replaced his golden armor with his light clothes. The white vest and white pants that he wore before, and had multiple copies of.
They would need to be stealthy, and stealth while wearing bright gold armor was pretty hard.
"Do you think we should look for Natsu?" Wendy asked, before Naruto sent her a deadpan look. No offence against Natsu, but since Happy was able to fly again they would be able to run away if they were in trouble. He had little doubt that Natsu was on the floating island somewhere, doing his own thing. Searching would actually be easier if they split up, so finding Natsu would slow their search.
"We should run into him again, but I have a feeling that he is going to stumble on something interesting on his own." Naruto said with narrowed eyes, before his eyes widened and he grabbed Wendy before jumped away just as a red blur smashed into the ground where they had been standing. A dust cloud formed around the figure, keeping the female scents features from being seen by them. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the scent of cheesecake, similiar to how Erza smelled of Strawberry Cake.
"I was hoping to capture you both without you noticing." A figure started to emerge from the dust cloud, and Naruto's eyes widened as did Wendy's when they saw the form of a wild haired Erza wearing revealing clothes from from the dust. A four jawed spear in her hand, and a calm expression on her face.
"Erza-san!?" Wendy shouted in shock, before she noticed the change in scent and the lack of internal magic this girl should have. Quickly figuring out this girl was not Erza, she moved back slightly in case they had to run. Naruto drew his sword, and placed his shield on his left forearm so that his left hand was free for punching.
"Erza Knightwalker, you will address me with respect." The Erza in front of them said, with Wendy and Naruto sharing a quick glance at each other. There was very little doubt that this woman was strong if she was trying to capture mages with a single attack. A twitch of her foot was all Naruto needed to see she was about to spring forward, and shooting into action himself his sword collided with her spear's bladed prongs. Sparks started to fly between them, and Wendy was blown back a few steps by the pressure of the two attacks making contact.
"Wendy, you go long range." Naruto said, because as much as he loved fighting on his own he could recognize when it would be better to have somebody guarding his back. Wendy nodded and jumped further back than she already was, before she used the air saved up in her stomach a puff of magical breath towards Erza that made her jump away from Naruto.
"A long range as well, using magic while in Edolas. I can see why my King is interested in capturing you alive." Erza said before she used the side of her spear to block a direct attack from Naruto, and she twisted her spear to smack him in the side of the head. Sparks flew again when he deflected it with his shield, before he went for a slash with his sword. He had never been more thankful for the sword training Erza had given him than he was now, because he honestly thought he would never need it before now.
"Capturing me... Sky Dragon's Roar!" Wendy shouted as she sent her magical roar of wind straight at the dueling pair of sparking figures. Erza's eyes widened when she saw the medium power roar come right at both her and Naruto, before she jumped away just in time. Naruto smirked lightly, before he used his shield to block the attack. Even his eyes widened in surprise though when the wind attack was quickly absorbed into the shield without a trace, while the force of the attack barely pushed him back.
"A shield that absorbs magic, useful." Erza commented dryly, before Naruto noticed the red gem and the silver blade of his sowrd glowly as well. Getting an idea, Naruto swung his sword at Erza again. She was curious for a moment, before everyone's eyes widened when they saw the Sky Dragon Roar that had just been absorbed shoot out of the sword and go towards Erza. She swung her spear and broke through the attack by using sheer force, while Naruto looked at his sword and shield.
The shield and sword were linked it would seem, which was why they were in the chamber together. The shield blocked magical attacks by absorbing them, while the sword could use them attack that was just asborbed against the one that fired the attack in the first place. He noticed the glow of the sword stopped, and figured that it would only shoot one attack per absorption, which was still goof.
Example: If Natsu shot a fire attack at Naruto, then he could block it with the shield and absorb the attack, before he used his sword to sent the attack right back at Natsu.
Naruto wondered how much the magical limit in the shield was, before he looked at Erza with a hard look. Holding his dagger out, he summoned his silver dagger into his hand. He shared a small glance with with Wendy, and both knew that they had just gained an advantage. Now Wendy's attacks would be able to be used multiple times before they vanished away, once by Wendy and once by Naruto.
'It would seem that the long ranged girl is more of a threat right now.' Erza thought with narrowed eyes, before she changed positions and her spear glowed gold and in the place of her old spear was a long white colored spear with red and gold stripes. A large golden balance right under the triangular spearhead that was both black and silver. This was her Velocity Spear, Silferion, the speed form of her Magical Tool. Her entire body glowed white as the spears magic took place.
"Wendy, look out!" Naruto shouted as his eyes tracked Erza speeding towards Wendy much fatser than the girl could dodge, and in a burst of his own great speed he was able to block her slash at Wendy with a slash of his own. Wendy was only able to see the two of them for a split second before they both vanished again, and she felt a biurst of air pressure behind her and when she turned her head she saw Naruto and Erza vanished from that spot as well.
'He is fast.' Erza thought with narrowed eyes at how Naruto was able to stop her each time she attempted to knock out Wendy for capture. The King was more interested in having Wendy captured than he was his Earthland counterpart. She zipped towards Wendy again from the right side, only for Naruto to speed in front of her and deflect her attack while forcing her to completely miss Wendy.
"She is as fast as Erza-sensei's Flight Armor." Naruto whispered as the two of them moved around Wendy at high speeds, one attempting to attack the girl, while the other defended her from the attacks. Wendy was only able to see them in the split second they were forced to stop when they collided, before they vanished from view in a blur. She could even lock onto Naruto so she could increase his power, so with a small glare she reached into her bag of small explosive Lacrima and grabbed four of them.
"Naruto, get ready!" Wendy warned her partner, before she threw two lacrima to each of her sides. She crossed her arms for a moment as whirlwinds collected around them, before she swiftly seperated them as the whirlwinds attacked everything around her. "Sky Dragon's Wing Attack: Expolsive Wind!" Wendy shouted as the fire explosives went off and mixed with her wind based attack, creating a wide spread fire mixed with dragon slaying wind that attacked everything around her.
"Good combo Wendy!" Naruto said as he leapt out of her attacking range just in the nick of time, while Erza jumped away as well with her hip cloth slightly burnt. She looked at Wendy with a mildly impressed look when at the destructive power of her combo. The ground around Wendy was scorched, and the grass even thirty feet away had been burnt to a crisp. Truly that was a dangerous combo, but her bag held only so many explosives for her to combine her magic with.
"Don't get cocky, I am still uninjured." Erza taunted slightly, and Wendy's face fell a little bit before Erza took that chance and jumped right at Wendy for the finishing blow while the girl was distracted by the taunt. Naruto jumped off from the ground, and swung his sword in Wendy's defence before the two great powers of Naruto and Erza Knightwalker clashed against each other. Sparks flew from the metal weapons as the struggled again each other, before Erza jerked her head back to dodge a slash from the dagger Naruto was holding in his other hand.
"You haven't hurt us either, so don't get full of yourself." Naruto commented right back at her, before he used his elbow to block a fast kick from Erza without very much trouble. At about the same time, Erza blocked a headbutt of his with her own head. The two struggled against each other, head to head while Wendy began to charge up her magic for a powerful attack. Erza grinned at Naruto, before he heard her start to whisper.
"Your attacks are half assed, you don't want to hurt me... you lack resolve." Erza stated in a whisper of a voice, and Naruto was frankly shocked enough by the declaration that he stepped back for a moment of time that gave Erza enough time to get away from the duo before Wendy could unleah her magic at her.
"Skay Dragon's Roar!" Wendy shouted as she sent a large roar of spinning wind straight towards Erza, and the woman easily ducked under the attack without any trouble at all. Erza touched a hand to the ground, before she rushed at Wendy again. Her battle honed sixth sense though made her jumped away when Naruto appeared in front of her with his charged up sword glowing again. She looked to the side and saw that the attack Wendy had just sent had been absorbed, which meant that it was currently in Naruto's sword. She had figured out those abilities with the first use of the ability, much like Naruto.
"Wendy! Show me how much stronger you have gotten!" Naruto said as he stood next to her and pointed his sword at Erza, with the spinning wind started to gather around the sword. Wendy breathed in deeply and prepared her own attack, and Erza smirked and got ready to dodge the attack before chained burst from the ground and wrapped tightly around her legs. She looked towards Naruto, and saw him smirking with a silver wristband on his wrists. One of which was pointed towards the ground where the chains extended and travelled underground to get to her.
"Okay Naruto! Sky Dragon's Roar!" Wendy said as she knocked herself off her feet as she sent a roar right at Erza, while Naruto swung his sword and shot Wendy's last roar at Erza, before the two roars combined into one huge roar that destroyed everything in it's path. Naruto didn't waste time grabbing Wendy bridal style, before he pulled his chains back and summoned his wings. Flying off, he didn't even wait to see if the attack hit now that the chance to escape made it's head known.
'Damnit!' Naruto thought as he flew away as fast as he could. Her words were still ringing in his head about lacking resolve, andf he grit his teeth. His current actions actually proved her right, normally he would never run from a foe. Yet right now he just wanted to get as far away from this woman as possible.
They needed to find Natsu fast, and get to the next floating island as soon as possible. If Erza was evil here, then he would hate to come across other familiar faces that would try to attack him.
Chapter End!
It was a short bout between them, and remember that Naruto isn't the only target now. He is a lesser target, while Wendy and Natsu are the bigger targets. Yes he is a target for capture, but that is only because the King is one half of Naruto's Edolas copy. Naruto would rather run away from this Erza, because raising a hand against the face and voice of somebody you look up to as a mother would be hard. She also struck a nerve with her words. Oh, and the shield sword combo can only hold ONE magic spell in it at a time. It also has a limit to how powerful the spell is.
