Lucy Fire

Lucy was at a complete loss on what to do. Well, that was entirely accurate. She knew what to do, which was run from the crazy fat guy. Her issue was to think. This Kain guy defied all logical thinking in the way he acted towards Lucy. So Lucy did the only thing that was logical at this point: run like hell.

Kain was literally barreling through the forest, destroying just about every tree in his way. Its not that Lucy thought she wouldn't have been able to take him if she fought him, especially with her Star Dress, but considering just how crazy he was, Lucy didn't want to take the risk. Lucy fiddled with her key ring, trying to think about what to do in this situation.

"Please don't run away!" Kain literally cried, "Don't you know my feelings!"

"What about 'boyfriend' and 'baby' do you no understand?" Lucy snapped. Seriously, what the hell was with this dope?

"Time to fight dumb muscle with dumb muscle," she declared, holding out a key, "Open Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!" Kain stopped instinctively. And…

Nothing happened.

Lucy just stared at the key in shock. Kain cocked his head.

"What's s'posed to happen?" he asked.

"Open Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!" she said. Again, nothing happened.

"Taurus!" Lucy said, waving the key around, "Taurus! TAURUS! Anything!"

"You know trying to impress me isn't going to make her go easy on you," Kain said.

"You think I'm trying to impress you?" Lucy said, smacking the key in her hand. Don't tell me I can't use my keys in Star Dress? she thought.

"Why didn't Loke tell me about this?!" Lucy cried out loud. She knew it was all too good to be true. But she wasn't going to give up just like that. After a brief time of the two staring at each other, Lucy decided to actually hold her ground this time.

"I'm going to kick your ass!" she declared. True it may have sounded tough, but it was mostly bravado to pump her up.

"Don't get too full of yourself, blondie," Kain said, "I know I may not look it, but I'm seriously strong!" He then held up his doll.

"I'm not going to give you my hair!" Lucy said.

"I don't need it!" Kain said holding up his doll, "Don't underestimate the Witching Hour curse!" Deciding not to let him continue talking, Lucy leapt at him.

"Regulus Strike!" she said, kicking at him, only to see her leg go straight through him, like he was….

"Air!" Kain said, holding up his doll.

"How in the hell…"

"There's a lot more that Mr. Cursey can do!" Kain said, as he floated over Lucy, "If I turn Mr. Cursey into air, then I turn into air!"

"Yeah, I kind of got that," Lucy said, "That's just weird." Kain turned solid again, as he dropped down to the ground.

"Well, I'm not one to give up that easily!" Lucy declared, as she charged at Kain again, "Regulus Lucy Kick!" She did her trademark strike, which collided with Kain. Lucy let out a cry as she stumbled back, holding her aching leg.

"I can do a lot more than air!" Kain said, his body now made of glittering diamonds "I can turn Mr. Cursey into pretty much everything! Including diamonds! Nothing can break diamonds!"

"Ah crap," Lucy said, as she rose to her feet again. Her foot didn't feel broken, but it certainly wasn't good to keep working like that. She knew she couldn't fight this guy as things were. So Lucy went back to original plan. She turned on her heels, and high tailed it.

"Wait, are we chasing again?" Kain asked. Seeing Lucy gaining more ground, he chased after her again. Lucy's foot was wearing her down slightly, but fortunately she still had just enough speed to keep out of Kain's grab.

"Just for the record!" Lucy called back, "This is the most bizarre fight I've ever been in!"

(with Natsu)

Natsu's fight with Ultear wasn't going that well. Admittedly, Natsu wasn't at his best at the time. Normally he had no problem moving around with his wings, but that was when he had both of them in use. Having one wing arm and one regular arm made things a lot harder.

"I'll admit this isn't like a normal fight," Ultear said, balancing her orb on her fingertip, "But there's no way you really think you can beat me. I'm not even going all out seeing as I do owe you for Galuna Island."

"Keep talking lady," Natsu said igniting his fist, "I'm going to kick your ass just like I did there!" With that, he launched at Ultear, punching forward.

*SLAM

A slightly charred Kain was sent tumbling away. Lucy paused, as she stopped running, and looked over.

"Natsu!" she cried happily.

"Lucy!" Natsu said, as sprung at Lucy, and heaved her up in his arms, "Thank the gods you're alright!" As he put her down, he noticed her new outfit.

"Do you like it?" Lucy asked, doing a slight twirl.

"Hell yeah I do!" Natsu declared, as he pulled the mother of his son over to him, and pressed his forehead against her own. Lucy smiled, but then noticed Natsu's wing.

"Your arm…," she said, running her hand over it.

"I'll explain later," Natsu said, "I've got a crossdresser to fight!" Meanwhile, Ultear walked over to her fallen guild mate.

"On your feet, Kain!" Ultear ordered, as she kicked him in the rear, "Care to tell me what you're doing here?"

"I was chasing that blonde!" Kain said as he got up, pointing at Lucy.

"Are you fighting that girl?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah," Natsu answered, "But it ain't easy with this wing."

"I thought that Dragon Aspect gave you two wings, and a tail," Lucy said.

"That's not Dragon Aspect," Happy said, "He was fighting this other guy and now he's got a wing."

"I'l figure it out later," Natsu said, "But we've got to deal with this bastards." He then grinned at his girlfriend.

"Sooner we're done with these guys, the sooner we'll be back for Haru," he said, "So let's form a team." Lucy was surprised for a moment, but smiled back at him.

"Why not?" she said. With that, Natsu's chest lit up, and Lucy's fists started glowing with Regulus energy, as Happy jumped up, pumping his paw.

"We're all fired up now!" all three declared.

"Why are they so damn flirty and sexy?!' Kain jabbered while Ultear just glared, "This is pissing me off! Just leave, Ultear! I'll handle these punks!"

"You can't do that!" Natsu declared, "This was supposed to be 2 on 2!"

"I ain't complaining," Lucy said.

"What about me!" Happy chirped.

"Fine then," Ultear said, "I've got to find Lord Zeref anyway." She decided to omit her previous encounter with the Black Mage, and the First Fairy, and headed out.

"No way!" Lucy declared, "We can't let him take Zeref!" Natsu tried to follow Ultear, but Kain intercepted him, and palmed him in the gut, sending the Dragon Slayer careening away. When Kain tried to strike him again, Natsu managed to leap out of the way this time, after which he slashed at Kain with his claws, though the big guy dodged him relatively easily.

"I'm coming for you Natsu!" Lucy declared, as she leapt at Kain, "Regulus Lucy Kick!" She tried to kick Kain, but was blocked. However, in that moment that Kain was distracted, Natsu struck with his Fire Dragon's Iron Fist, hitting Kain in the side.

"I ain't going to be left out!" Happy declared. With that, he let his claws loose and Kain's face.

"Gah! How are you so strong!" Kain moaned.

"You can't beat us when we're working together!" Lucy said, as she kicked Kain in the face, and before he could be sent flying, Natsu's Fire Dragon's Claw struck him down.

"We're going to win!" Happy declared excitedly. And it seemed like he was right. Natsu and Lucy were landing blow after blow on the dark mage, and showing no signs of slowing down.

"Let's finish this!" Lucy declared, as she charged up her fist to keep fighting. But right as she did that, her Star Dress and power vanished.

There was a moment that everyone just stared at her, as she returned to her normal clothing and hairstyle. Kain used that moment to strike at her again, sending her tumbling away.

"Lucy!" Natsu cried.

"I'm alright!" Lucy said, as she got to her feet. Or at least that was what she thought before she fell back to her knees.

"I'm out of magic power," she said.

"You are?" Kain said, and after a pause declared, "Yes, you are! Now its my turn!" Taking advantage of Natsu's distract, the dark mage then walloped the Dragon Slayer in the face. Natsu skidded to a halt, his talons leaving gashes in the ground

"Natsu!" Happy cried, as he floated down to him. Natsu grunted as he wiped the side of his mouth.

"You bastard," he said.

"Sorry," Kain said, "But I can't waste any time, not while Lord Zeref waits for us."

"We're not going to let you!" Lucy said, as she jumped to her feet, "Just because I don't have magic doesn't…." She then froze dead in her tracks.

"Wh…what?" she forced out.

"What're you doing?" Happy asked, as he floated next to her.

"Wait, don't tell me," Lucy muttered. Kain held up Mr. Cursey, and on its head was a strand of blonde hair.

"A strand of your hair got stuck on me while you were beating me up," Kain explained, "Now its time for revenge!" Lucy immediately feared the worst, before she was suddenly made to do a split.

"YEOW!"

"Now this!" Lucy took a crane yoga pose.

"And this!" She took a pose like a bunny while hopping.

"And this!" She took a sexy pose.

"What are you doing!" Lucy demanded in frustration. Natsu cocked his head.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Lucy's acting even weirder than usual," Happy said, pointing.

"That damn doll's controlling me, you dolts!" Lucy snapped.

"Now let's get down to business!" Kain said, "Why not going after your boyfriend!" He then swung the doll in Natsu's direction, as Lucy was sent flying towards Natsu. The Dragon Slayer was caught off guard when Lucy crashed into him, wrapping his arms around his torso. Normally Natsu would welcome Lucy hugging him like this, but this sort of hug was different; it hurt, which was strange. Physically speaking, Lucy wasn't that strong of a woman, though Natsu had been making efforts to get her to work out. However, it seemed as if Lucy was now as strong as Edolas Lucy.

"What are you… GAH… doing!" Natsu demanded.

"I told you, that doll's controlling me!" Lucy said, "I can't control my body!"

"Damn it!" Natsu snapped, as he managed to get a hold on her around her arms, "Why can't you be more like this on missions?"

"Stop holding me like this!" Lucy said, "Those scales feel weird!"

"Don't you two get all hot on me now!" Kain snapped, pointing at the two.

"We're not getting out!" Lucy snapped.

"But maybe if we had this doll in…," Natsu began.

"Stow it Dragon Boy!" Lucy snapped.

"Well, it doesn't matter," Kain said, "No one can… MR. CURSEY!" Happy had fluttered away, holding the doll.

"Way to go Happy!" Lucy said.

"Alright little buddy!" Natsu said. Happy looked at the doll, and got an idea.

"Not a good time!" Lucy snapped, as she was suddenly hugging Natsu to her chest, "And those horns hurt!"

"I ain't complaining," Natsu said with a muffled voice.

"Here ya' go Natsu!" Happy said, as he thew the doll at Natsu who quickly caught it with his human hand. He then held up his dragon arm.

"Fire Dragon's Wingbeat!" A gust of fire came at Kain, who in a remarkable display of agility, avoided the attack. He then had to dodge a strike from Kain, and used his wing to move back, as his chest lit up.

"Fire Dragon's Roar!" He let loose his breath weapon, which Kain again managed to avoid. As the two dueled, Lucy, who was still linked to the doll was getting tossed around like nothing.

"Will you be careful!" Lucy snapped. Natsu clenched his sharp teeth, as he skidded to the ground. He needed to change his tactics. As he was thinking he absentmindedly tossed the doll to himself, failing to realize his girlfriend falling up and down.

"Are you even listening to me?!" the blonde shouted. Natsu stopped as he was told, but then an idea popped into him.

"Hey Luce," he said, grinning, "I've got an idea!"

"Why do you have a bad feeling about this?" Lucy said nervously.

"Have I ever steered you wrong?"

"You don't really want an answer do you?"

"It doesn't matter what you do?" Kain said as he charged at Natsu, "You'll never be able to beat…" He was the suddenly struck in the the back of the head by a powerful kick from Lucy.

"How did you/I…," the two mages asked, but then saw Natsu holding up the doll in a kicking gesture.

"I don't know whether to be impressed or appalled," Lucy said. Natsu just smirked, as he then held put the doll's fist, causing Lucy to punch Kain in the face. The big guy turned his attention face her, only to get a fire infused kick in the back, which sent him flying away.

"That gives me another idea!" Natsu declared, as he lit up one of his clawed fingers. It didn't take long for Lucy to put two and two together.

"Wait, please no," she said weakly.

"Come on, it wasn't any hotter than the time…"

"Shut your trap!" Natsu then promptly set fire to the doll's fist. The same thing happened to Lucy's fist, who screamed her head off. Kain then got struck with two fire-infused fists from opposite sides. To Lucy's surprise, it was actually pleasantly warm, like how he felt when she slept beside him on cold nights. It was almost… soothing. But the battle was anything but.

"Alright!" she declared, taking a fighting stance, "Now I've got an idea."

"Lucy's got an idea?" Happy asked as he hovered overhead. But Natsu knew what she meant, as he grinned.

"Since when are you thinking about thing so awesome?" he asked.

"You're rubbing off on me, lover boy," Lucy answered. With that, Natsu ignited the entire doll, as Lucy's body lit up in fire.

"Hey Happy!" Natsu said, as he tossed the doll to his partner, "You got this?"

"Aye sir!" Happy said, as he caught the doll. He then flew up, using Max Speed, which caused Lucy to do the same. At the same time, Natsu leapt into the air, using the wing to boost himself. He then created a big ball of fire, and threw it at Kain.

"That won't work!" Kain said, as he avoided the attack. However, he only just had time to look up and see….

"Dragneel Family Technique…," Natsu and Lucy said together, "LUCY FIRE!" A fire infused Lucy slammed into the Kin of Purgatory, sending him careening through the trees, unconscious. As Happy brought the doll to Natsu, Lucy came over to her boyfriend, who heaved her up.

"You were awesome!" he said, cuddling her.

"Likewise!" Lucy said, doing the same. Happy then looked at the doll.

"I'm keeping this," he declared.

Note: I'm not sure if that's how Star Dress works, but assumed so based on the fact that when Lucy's in Star Dress, we never see her summon anyone other than the corresponding spirit.

I know this was close to canon, but I really liked this fight, and I wanted to include it, especially in a NaLu context.

Be sure to review.

Now, I generally try to avoid gripes like these, and I know it won't make a difference, but it needs to be said. Its connected with the most recent DeathBattle between Erza and Zoro. If you care enough, stop reading this, go look up the battle, and come back here to continue.

Alright, now I will say that Erza was severely under-represented in this. One of the most important elements of DB is properly representing both fighters, and half of Erza's feats and armors weren't described, like her Nakagami and Wingblade Armor, and her defeat of 100 monsters. Would it have made a difference? I don't know, maybe not, but she deserves to be given full attention to everything she's done and can do, just like Zoro. DB failed to do that in this.

On a related note, I looked up the comments on the website, and I noticed all the pro-One Piece comments were up voted, and all the pro-Fairy Tail comments were severely down voted. And people say the FT fandom is toxic.
