"Speech"

'Thoughts'

"Attack"

[E.N.D Speaking]

*Onomatopoeia*

Natsu focused his attention towards the three new elders that had decided to disturb his battle.

"Four on one?" Natsu smirked. "This might actually be interesting now." His smirk widened, taunting the three, daring them to make a move.

Skiadrum, Metalicana and Grandeeney all looked at each other then nodded.

Metalicana went first, his wings flapped once and he instantly traveserved hundreds of metres.

As he dived downwards his metal shell seemed to slice through the air as he moved with next to no resistance against him.

Natsu tuned his senses into the surrounding 20 metres around him.

Over the past year Natsu's continuously strained his senses, making sure he always had the best idea of what was happening around him at the farthest distance that he could feel.

He pushed them to their limit and beyond time and time again, improving them into their current state.

By now anything within fifty miles of him may as well be standing right in front of him for him to analyze. Every little detail was clearer than crystal to him, every sound was crisp and audible and everything was known to him.

Of course this had its drawbacks as trying to process that much information put a strain on his mind so Natsu usually dialed it down to a few miles, something that was natural to Natsu and could still give him time to react in case any dangers threatened him.

Natsu was applying the same logic here just at an extreme level. Because his mind was processing a lot less information it could do so at a higher rate.

When Metalicana came within twenty metres of Natsu he seemed to slow to a halt. Natsu watched as the metal dragon slammed into the ground.

He reached out and placed his hands onto his head. With a quick twist Natsu shifted his body so that it was parallel with Metalicana and he was also facing towards the ground.

Pushing against the massive beast Natsu used the momentum to send himself up into the air flying along the body of Metalicana.

This all happened in an instant and shock crept into his eyes. 'Those moves it can't be….' Metalicana shook these thoughts out of his head and returned his focus to the fight.

*Crack* Metalicana crashed into the ground causing it to cave in, the ground splitting apart from the impact.

Natsu eyed the dragon watching his every move as he focused his magical energy. It gathered in his stomach and his blackish blue magic circle appeared in front of him.

"Chaos Dragon Roar!" He fired off his breath attack straight words his enemy.

Metalicana huffed in displeasure. He tucked his head to the side before facing upwards and opening his massive jaws.

"Iron Dragon Roar!" A gigantic metal twister burst forth from his mouth and hurtled towards the chaos breath attack.

Both roars collided and exploded almost immediately upon impact. Crating a large dust cloud with fragments of metal raining down from it and the occasional black and blue streak of chaos energy could be seen.

Natsu had been pushed upwards after the collision, the wind propelling him to his current position.

Silence once again fell over the area as Natsu waited for an attack to come his way. His eyes were closed, relying on all his senses to feel for the next attack.

Two seconds pass and Natsu's eyes snapped open, he fired a beam towards the ground at where he had last seen Metalicana.

The beam also pushed Natsu up and out of the way of a black claw that swiped at his previous location.

"Black Sword!" Natsu spun as he cast his spell, traversing up along Skiadrum's arm cutting a shallow wound into the black dragon's flesh.

Blood slowly leaked from the new injury, using the remaining momentum from the earlier explosion Natsu shot up a few metres past the shadow dragon's shoulder before becoming a victim to gravity's pull.

Natsu stabilized himself so the he was parallel with the beast's back, he reared back his fist as chaos magic began to gather around it.

"Chaos dragon's" thrusting his fist toward towards the centre of Skiadrum's back Natsu shouted "Impact Gauntlet!"

Immediately Natsu felt a sense of dread as the familiar sensation of his fist connecting with a solid substance never occured.

His eyes widened as he noticed a large amount of black smoke floating around him along with a lacking amount of black prey-err dragon.

The dragonslayer immediately sharpened his sense to the best of his ability, feeling an odd shifting in the wind behind him Natsu quickly turned around but his reaction was just the slightest bit too slow.

Natsu's field of vision was filled with black as the elder dragon swiped at him in the air, with no time to think the boy willed his body into action.

"Impact Gauntlet!" The same spell from before still resided on Natsu's arm so without adjusting the output he let it fly towards the incoming attack.

*BANG!* The two forces crashed into each other for a bit they were at a stalemate but Natsu was still a human child, he lost in terms of reach and couldn't put as much oomph into his hit.

Skiadrum took advantage of this and began to push down onto Natsu, the young dragonslayer putting up as much resistance as he could.

Luckily for him his magic circle popped into existence as the second part of his spell sprung into action. A chaos themed energy beam erupted from Natsu's fist with such a high amount of recoil that he was pushed away while also blowing a hole straight through the shadow dragon's claw.

Natsu's arm spasmed as the muscles underneath his jet black scales seemed to scream in protest. [You must've overdid it a bit, you should still be able to use it but don't overload it, an injury is the last thing you need right now.] E.N.D quickly assessed Natsu's condition giving him an update on how bad the damage was.

'Thanks, I'll be cautious.' Natsu replied as he cast his eyes over his shoulder and down toward the ground where he felt the gathering of magic energy.

Their lying in wait was Metalicana-as known to Natsu as the junk-bucket dragon-who had just summoned a magic circle beneath himself.

With a loud roar from the metal dragon's maw a large tornado spawned from the rim of the magic circle.

Shimmers of light could be seen inside it causing Natsu to deuce that their was most likely metal shards within the wind. He sweatdropped at that. 'That just looks unpleasant.;

Summoning his own magic circle with two hands Natsu fell towards the rising tornado. When the metal carrying wind came in contact with the black and blue circle spark began to fly off. 'This doesn't seem right for some reason' Natsu thought.

[Why not?] E.N.D queried.

.

.

.

.

A couple of seconds passed.

'Coz its magic I guess?' Although that was his answer he himself wasn't really too sure of it. 'But speaking of magic.'

Making sure the magic circle in front of him was stable Natsu cast a look over his shoulder to see Grandeeney gathering magic toward her mouth. 'A breath attack hmmm.' He mused

"Sky Dragon's Roar!" A pale blue tornado ripped through the air and plummeted straight for the chaos dragonslayer.

In response Natsu moved his left arm away from the magic circle rotating it so he could point an open palm to the Sky dragon's breath attack.

Another magic circle appeared in front of his left palm effectively blocking the breath attack.

[Really? This doesn't seem that effective to me.] Natsu's face adopted an annoyed expression at E.N.D's statement because yeah, maybe effective wasn't the right word.

The two tornadoes were slowly pressuring Natsu, mae evident by the way his elbows were starting to bend making the magic circles inch slowly but surely toward their original caster.

To make matters worse Natsu detected a third magic signature. "Oh you've gotta be kidding me."

Because Natsu had readjusted his body to cover his blind spot he had inadvertently created another different blindspot that was about to be taken full advantage of.

"You can't block in that state boy, die!" Pure black magic energy spewed forth from Skiadrum's mouth. "Shadow dragon's roar!"

"You're really underestimating me y'know." Natsu lifted his right leg behind him and aimed in the general direction of the breath before a magic circle spawned in front of the soles of his right foot.

"What?!" Never before had Skiadrum seen such an uncouth way of using magic. Not that it was anything impossible in fact thinking about it, it was completely reasonable. Their really wasn't a single thing wrong with it, it's just that it was….

[So lame! Hahahahah] E.N.D erupted into laughter at the stance Natsu found himself in. [What are you a ballerina? Is that it? What's with that ridiculous pose!]

Natsu had a tick mark growing ever so bigger by the second as he put up with the howling laughter of his etherious. "That's it I've had it!"

Closing his eyes Natsu searched deep inside himself, trying to will those powers into action.

Picking up on the sudden demeanor change in their target the three elder's eyes sharpened, something was amiss.

As the one residing within his subconscious E.N.D could more or less know exactly what Natsu was planning on going for.

'Time for that new technique to shine hmm.' E.N.D closed his eyes, smirked and let himself drift in the sea of the young boy's mind. 'I guess he really is done playing around then. Maybe I took things a bit too far.'

Seeing that the triple breath attack wasn't really getting them anywhere the three elders backed off.

When the three breath attacks ceased it revealed the young dragonslayer was just floating there….silently his salmon colored hair was rustled by the breeze.

With no shirt to cover himself with his jet black scales could seen to cover the majority of his upper body excluding his chest, abdomen and middle section of his neck.

The scales even went so far as to the sides of his face past his temples and almost met at the center of his forehead where they started to fade.

The dark blue patterns of dragon force seemed accentuate his flawless combat-orientated body.

Grandeeney eyed this boy with caution, just in case things took a turn for the worse she began to cast support type spells.

"Armurie, Ormos, Verainia" With each spoken word a colored aura appeared on the three , Blue and Green respectively.

Once she had finished casting Natsu began to move.

He turned both his palms upward and magic vibrations began to resonate off of them. From his right palm a small orb appeared bearing the color scheme of the chaos dragon slaying magic, a black center with dark blue accents on the outside.

The orb itself was small and eerie yet the three elders didn't dare underestimate it because as soon it appeared it caused the magic flow in the surrounding area to alter, disturbing the flow and causing the dragon's, who were naturally in tune with such things, to feel a great discomfort.

From Natsu's left hand another chaos orb appeared, as soon as it was birthed streams of chaos magic lashed out at the environment. Anything these streams came into contact with was instantly destroyed.

Sensing the danger Skiadrum was the first to move he charged forward firing of a few orbs of shadow when they got within two metres of Natsu they suddenly curved and went right around him.

'So magic isn't going to work huh? Then I'll just do it the old fashioned way!' He flapped his wings but both were suddenly struck by streams of chaos magic severly crippling them and causing him to fall out of the sky.

"Arrrrggghh!" *CRASH*

[Well he did pretty good for not just floating their, but you were one step too late.] E.N.D slightly opened one eye.

[This technique hasn't actually been completed yet but we've done enough theory on it that it'll work without a cinch.]

Natsu slowly breathed in…..and then breathed out…

His eyes snapped open.

[You see it takes the purest state of his two most powerful techniques.]

Natsu lifted his left hand.

[The Reaper]

He lifted his right

[The Chaos Drive]

He glared at the two elders flying in front of him.

[Each are quite powerful on their own but this technique takes them….

And fuses them!]
