Writer's Notes: LET'S GET READY RUMBLE! TEAM LUCY VS TEAM NATSU. TAKING ALL BETS. GET EM IN BEFORE THE STORY STARTS.
Lucy: Ross you don't have to broadcast it. EVeryone knows that we're about about to fight them, you said in the last chapter.
Juvia: *cries* Juvia is so upset that she'll have to take down her beloved Gray in order to help her friends. THen again, it's rather romantic don't you think? Two lovers, on two different teams! Star crossed lover Juvia and Gray. *eyes turn to hearts*
Lucy: I'm surprised that she still has any affection for Gray after what happened.
Ross: What can you do, the heart wants what the heart wants.
Bellaruse: Then why don't you just tell her WInterheart.
Lucy: what was that?
Ross: Nothing! *whispers* shut up Bellaruse. *normal voice* Okay before ends badly for me, how about we just get to the fight huh? Enjoy
Magnolia Town, Streets, Ross's Pov.
The fight was escalating a lot faster than I had anticipated. A LOT faster. We've only been fighting for ten minutes, yet somehow the guild has already set a bet system as to how good our chances are against each other. They have good reason to think so human. This is a Dragon Slayer who has been training for most of his life to master his magic, while you…...well, compared to him, you're what people in your world would call 'special'....I hate you…...soooooo very much Bellaruse. Well if you can't take the truth, then you shouldn't have let me take you out of Purgatory. Oh I started regretting that decision a long time ago. But back to the story, despite the odds pitted against me, I was actually handling myself pretty well against Natsu.
"FIRE DRAGON CLAW" Natsu, with his foot engulfed in flames, dove from the rooftops and tried to hit me. I dodged it, and thanks to the Let It Snow that I had used before to blanket the entire town with snow, I was able to trap Natsu in a giant sphere made of the stuff.
"Nice try Natsu, but you're dealing with someone who's got an field advantage." Natsu struggled to break free, but it was on use, once someone is inside my snowball, they can't get get out unless I say so.
"Drop the Salamander,NOW!" That was Erza wasn't it Bellaruse? Is she the scary one with the red hair? Yes. Then yes, that was her yelling, and it is definitely her charging towards you, with Lisanna and Gray in tow. And she's not happy. "REQUIP". Erza had switched to her Black Wing Armor and was now charging even faster towards me with a look of fury in her eyes. Lacking rational judgement, and and possessing a sudden sense of overwhelming fear that I was about to die, I poked three holes in the snowball, held it like a bowling ball, and proceeded to throw it like one, which rolled down the street and smashed right into the trio.
"HA! What do you think of me now Erza?!" I gloated. Then the snowball blew up, and Erza had requiped into her Flame Empress Armor, and it looks as though that attack had made her even angrier.
"Oh, so you think you're funny?" she asked, then pointed her blade towards me, "I'll show you something to laugh about." In a blink of an eye, she zooms towards me at break neck speed, when Gajeel appeared out of nowhere and blocked Erza's attack with his Iron Dragon Sword.
"Geez Ross, do you have to hog everyone to yourself? Cause it looks like you're biting off a little more than you could chew." Gajeel said, knocking Erza back. I heard footsteps behind me and saw Lucy, Juvia and surprisingly Aria, running towards me.
"Oh thank god" Lucy said hugging me. I couldn't help but blush a little bit. "What the hell were you thinking going off against them by yourself. I thought we agreed to fight them as a team!"
"Oh don't be so hard on him blondie. Apparently they think the false Dragon Slayer is worth their energy so they went after him, for whatever" Can we kill her now Ross? Not yet.
"*scoffs* arrogant, now I see why you two are friends." Gray had said, brushing the snow off of his-wait where the hell did his clothes go.
"Gray for godsake put some clothes on" Thank you Erza.
"WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!" Me and Aria said in Unison, which kinda freaked the both of us out.
"Juvia thinks they might have thing for each other, don't you think Lucy" Juvia whispered. But I heard it.
"NO WE DON'T JUVIA!" Again, in unison. Juvia started crying.
"Oh man, Juvia look i'm sor-" Before I could even finish that sentence, Natsu hits me in the back, and sends me flying through the wall of one of the buildings. And i'm not sure, but I think I heard the master cry a little bit.
No POV.
"Can we stop talking and just fight already?" raged Natsu, "I wanna make sure that this guy knows he's not gonna mess with my friends and get away with it!" Now he was really getting fired up. Literally! All the while, Lucy was beginning to look like she was starting to cry, as she knew this time Natsu wasn't referring to her.
"You wanna say that again. Fire Slayer!" Ross had emerged from the hole in the building, surrounded by a thick aura of magic. With each step he took in the snow, it was absorbed into his skin.
"Whoa. Ross, where the hell did this come from?" asked Gajeel.
"I've always had this power Gajeel. It's one of the perks I get for being a Snow Dragon Slayer. Although I cannot always use this, as it requires a certain…...emotion. And I have you to thank for that Natsu."
"Y-y-your voice. It's so….."
"Scary? Yes, that would be appropriate. It comes with the feeling of absolute despair."
"D-Despa-" Now this time Natsu was the one who couldn't get a word in, as Ross just suddenly appeared behind him, grabbed him by the scarf on his neck, sprouted his Snow Dragon WIngs, and zoomed away with him.
"Natsu! Where'd he take?!" Gray demanded.
"If that friend of yours hurts him, you're all going to pay for it!" yelled Erza.
"Guys don't worry about Natsu, he can take care of himself." said Lisanna.
"Yeah listen to her, you guys shouldn't be worried about Natsu. You should be worried about yourselves."
" I was about to say the same thing to you Gajeel. Do you really think your blade can match up to mine?"
"I'm about to find out Titania." The two blades met with each other and began to clash once more.
"Juvia worries for Ross. He didn't seem like himself. What do you think Lucy?" asked Juvia.
"I guess…" Lucy hesitated. "I guess…...we're not friends anymore."
"Lucy?"
"Uh oh." Aria worried. Lucy grabbed her whip and wrapped around Lisanna's leg.
"Let's see how much stronger i've gotten.!"
Ross's POV.
After we were a fair enough distance away from everyone else, I threw Natsu to the ground and just hovered in the air.
"Alright Fire Slayer, you said that you wanted to teach me a lesson, so….we're all by ourselves. Just try, i'll even give you the first shot." I said.
"What, seriously?" Hmm, I never took him for the type to question someone when they're offering a first attack. He's wary Bellaruse. He's being cautious for once, or maybe he's just distracting me because he doesn't trust that i'll really give him the first punch.
"You don't believe me? Fine." I said, descending to the ground, and made my wings vanished. "Here's the deal: I'll stand at attention, with my feet planted firmly on the ground. I'm not going to move a muscle. If I do, i'll hurt myself. Deal?" I asked.
"...deal." he was kick to go from cautious to impulsive in a matter of a second. "But i'm gonna make this hurt as hard as I can, so no blocking." He said igniting his fists. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" he charges at me with great speed, and lands his fiery blow against my face….Like that would really do him any good.
Throwing it Back To No POV, but this time, let's head to the Guild for a second
"*gasp* Something's wrong!" exclaimed Makarov. "Whose magic is this?" Master Makarov rose from his desk, and bursted out of his office and into the guild hall, which was now buzzing with activity.
"I got 300 Jewel on Natsu!"
"Oh come on are you serious, you know your best bet is put money on Erza. She clean his clock in under a minute."
"well what about Gray? Are you guys definitely saying that GRay stands no chance against Natsu and Erza."
"NOT A CHANCE! Especially against Erza. You know how strong she is."
"AYE!" And there's Happy. That what the entire guild hall sounded like.
"Oh Master, I see you're finally done napping. Would you like to make a bet?" Mirajane said, appearing beside the Master.
"A bet? Why are you all placing bets? What are you placing bets on?" He asked, then he took a look at the guild's destroyed front door and saw that it was snowing outside, "What happened to the entrance? And why is it snowing outside?!" So many questions he had, all that could be answered by Mirajane.
"Oh, I could answer all of that. Apparently Natsu and had gotten into a fight with each other, and dragged their teams into it. So Erza tossed through the front entrance in a fit of rage, where he casted a spell to make it snow. After everyone saw that was challenging Fairy Tail's strongest team, everyone thought it would be a good idea to bet on who would be the first person to take Winterheart out. Currently, the person with the most bets is Erza, followed by Natsu, and then Gray."
"...You couldn't stop the fight?! Do you know how much damage those three cause on a regular basis. And adding that new Dragon Slayer into the mix, what made you think it would be a good idea?" exclaimed Makarov.
"...hmm, well, we didn't think it would make any difference then the fights that usually happen, so we didn't think it needed to stop." Then Makarov just collapses.
"Ugh, I gotta stop this fight before it gets any worse."
"Everyone, come quick, you need to see this!" Too late.
Back to Natsu and Ross Still No Pov.
Natsu had just landed a powerful blow across Ross's face, but it didn't seem to affect him. Ross just stood there, frozen like he'd become an ice statue. Well obviously he wasn't since he was still blinking.
"Hey, you in there?" asked Natsu, but no response. "HEY, I'm TALKING TO YOU SNOWFLAKE!" Still no answer. Now Natsu was starting to get angry. "What, do I have to punch you to get you to talk!?" As Natsu threw another punch at Ross, the latter finally made a move and grabbed Natsu and pushed him against the wall. As Ross's hands clasped over Natsu's arm, they began to cause a sharp pain that shot through Natsu's body like a bullet, causing him an extreme deal of pain. He then tossed onto the ground, where Natsu saw that the parts that Ross had grabbed had now been frozen solid. More like turned to ice.
"In case you weren't wondering Fire Slayer, i'm using a similar type of magic to yours, which is bound is bound to have similar sub-forms of it. I've heard about your Flames of Emotions, using your anger to create Fire? Am I right?"
"Y-yeah, so what?"
"Well, i'm employing the Snow Dragon Slayer's Version of it. I call it, Frost of Despair. I said before that I couldn't use this magic often, mainly due to the fact that I need to be in a mood of great and utter despair. Well, either that, or I connect my mind to that of someone who is feeling great despair, and you and your friends pretty much gave me that already."
"What are you talking about?"
"Not what, who. Lucy, your friend. The one you abandoned because you thought she was weak, because you thought she couldn't defend herself. Because you, Erza and Gray were soooooooo EAGER to get your old team back together, that you just tossed Lucy aside, paying no mind to how she felt. You didn't even bother talking to her for over a month. That's quite disturbing."
"What do you know?!" raged Natsu, engulfing his body in flames, which only continued to grow. "That isn't why we took her off the team!"
"Then what was it? make her stronger? Teach her to work on her own? Please, she was already able to do that, you just don't want to admit that you made a mistake."
"Shut up!" Ross's words continued to feed Natsu's anger, and with it, the flames. Natsu then started pummeling Ross with a barrage of fiery punches. Ross caught his fists and kicked Natsu in the gut, knocking him onto the ground. Ross touched his face and saw that it was beginning to break.
"Good Job, you managed to pierce my shield. But how long can you keep up all that anger in order to beat me?" Natsu surprised Ross by hitting him with an uppercut to the jaw, knocking him into the air.
"FIRE DRAGON CLAW!" Natsu propelled himself into the air after Ross, and resumed punching him with repeated strikes. Ross finally started fighting back and started punching Natsu. The two were so busy fighting that they hadn't realized they were still falling, and landed back on the streets. The hard landing didn't seem to phase them, as they were still throwing punches against each other.
Back to the Guild.
"Wh-wha-what's going on?!" Makarov was terrified to see that a blizzard had begun to engulf the entire city of Magnolia. The snow was beginning to pile up dangerously fast, and the frost on the windows had begun to cause cracks, breaking them open and letting in more of the cold air. "What the hell has Winterheart brought upon us?!"
"Oh, it's not Winterheart that caused the blizzard you see before you, Makarov." Makarov, looked outside for the source of the voice. At first there was no one outside, but then a figure began to form from the wind and snow. "I did. And until I get what I came here for, you will never see the light of day again. *chuckles*"
"Who are you and what do you want?" Asked Makarov.
"Me? My name is Nikolai, leader of the Heretics Blade dark guild, and what I want is your SNow Dragon Slayer!"
