Dream Match of Fire vs Armor!

The shows the large building on top of a very large and wide hill within the town known as Era, it is also the town that serves as the headquarter of the Magic Council where the very members themselves are holding a meeting about a certain incident that happened recently.

"The Eisenwald Guild may have been defeated, but that is one small victory in a much larger battle." One man pointed out.

The scene now shows a dark room with one large magic circle and holding about nine people each standing on a smaller magic circle.

"The number of Dark Guilds has been growing at quite an alarming rate." One shorter member with cat ears-like hair style informed.

"We have to come up with a plan to eliminate them all." A third member suggested.

"But how would we do that?" A fourth member of the council asked.

"However it's done, we cannot allow Zeref's magic to fall into the wrong hands again." Another member, Org stated.

"I don't understand how Eisenwald was able to obtain a tool of forbidden magic in the first place." One Council member, Yajima, confused about that.

Yajima is a short, old man with thick light-brown eyebrows and a small toothbrush mustache that reaches halfway to his mouth. He wears a brown long sleeve shirt with black vertical stripes and a black three-spiked hat.

"I hate to say it, but the blame may extend all the way to the highest levels." Michello feared this may have been done by someone from the inside.

"Whatever the case, although they're usually just a little thorn on our sides, it seems Fairy Tail proved to be quite useful." One young member known as Siegrain stated.

Siegrain is a young man whose most prominent features are his blue hair and a red tattoo above and under his right eye. He wears an elegant yet simple robes; consisting of a long white frockcoat with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated standing collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right middle finger, and usually had the medallion attesting his status as one of the Ten Wizard Saints around his neck, hidden by his jacket's collar.

"They took down an entire guild with a handful of wizards, and the most amazing feat of all was that Lullaby was completely destroyed by our very own Wizard Saint, Nine the Phantom Fairy." A young woman named Ultear added.

Ultear is a pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and red eyes. She also wears red lipstick color. She wears a white robe-like dress that is halfway to her knees with only one long sleeve for the left arm, a yellow sash around her waist, a dark red collar around her neck, and black sandals. Breasts size: H-cup.

"I still don't them that blasted guild." An older female member said as some agreed with her.

"You may not want to accept this, but that's the reality of the situation." Siegrain pointed out.

"In the end, the attack on the guild masters was prevented, lives were spared and none of us had to give up our hard-earned positions on this council to save face." Siegrain stated.

"You fool! Are you insinuating the Council is somehow to blame?" Leiiji asked shock and felt insulted from that.

"Enough of this nonsense. Fairy Tail's good deeds are overshadowed by their reckless destruction." Org pointed out.

"And yet most of those "reckless destruction" has been fixed by Nine, or have you forgotten about that?" Siegrain asked sarcastically, making Org grit his teeth and clutching his fists.

"Nine's magic is quite astonishing to fix any destroyed buildings and streets, and getting every job she had taken has been done flawlessly and made sure her fellow guild members don't screw things up as well." Siegrain explained.

"Since she joined Fairy Tail, the destructive rate from the guild has gone down by 51%. Slightly over halfway." Ultear mentioned.

"Yet despite all of that, Fairy Tail has continue to their idiotic ways and ignoring the rules we made like they mean nothing to them!" One member of the council angered.

"If you still feel that way, then perhaps you could call Nine over and give her a big lecture like you do with Makarov." Ultear suggested.

"Hmm, we haven't done that with her yet. I think she should." One member who seems like the leader started to think about that idea.

(Magnolia, Lucy's Apartment)

"(Eisenwald's failed attempt to attack the guild masters with Lullaby ended up being big news. It made all the papers, and it seems like everybody was talking about it.)" Lucy thought wrote this down in her letter to her pen pal.

"(Before joining Fairy Tail, I never would have imagined I'd be part of such a big event. It feels awesome, but I'm not gonna let it go to my head. It still makes my heart skip a beat when I think about everything we went though.)" Lucy thought recalled those events.

"(I heard that the authorities caught most of the Eisenwald members who were involved. They even got a hold of Kageyama, so that's reassuring at least.)" Lucy thought mentioned Kageyama and hopes the guy will become a better person.

"(The scary thing is that they still haven't been able to track down Erigor, even Nine got distracted with the Lullaby flute to realize he escaped when we left him on the train track. I'm worried he might show up at Fairy Tail looking for revenge.)" Lucy thought fearful, but she calms herself down.

"(But I'll be okay, 'cause I'm with the guild's strongest team. Erza, Gray, Juvia, Nine, and Natsu have my back no matter what. Not to mention that always supporting cat Happy.)" Lucy thought stated those guys with her means things will be alright.

"(Fairy Tail is awesome, and my fellow members are really great people! So, don't worry, Brandish. I'm doing fine, I hope the same is for you too in your homeland.)" Lucy thought finished her letter.

"Maybe I should do a little shopping later." Lucy sighed and placed the letter in the envelope.

"Saving the world is good and all, but there is nothing better than relaxing at home." Lucy stretched her arms up.

"Lucy, are you in here? It's Juvia!" Juvia called out from outside of her room.

Lucy is surprised to hear that Juvia has come to pay the blonde Celestial Wizard a visit in her apartment though this does make her happy, she kind of needed a friend for some company at the moment and wanted to get some alone time with Juvia too.

Lucy walks over to the door and opens it to see the Water Magic user right outside of her apartment.

"Hey Juvia, you came here to hang out?" Lucy asked.

"In a sense, yes. But Juvia also came here to get you for a different reason." Juvia said.

"Huh, a different reason?" Lucy confused.

"It's the fight Natsu made Erza promised him after we dealt with Eisenwald. It's happening today and behind the guildhall at the beach!" Juvia informed.

"They're about to have their rematch!" Juvia said again.

"WHAAAAAT?!" Lucy gasped.

(Fairy Tail Guildhall, Beach Side)

The scene shows Natsu and Erza are standing about 25 feet from each other with Nine standing in the middle to serve at the announcer and referee of the match, and the rest of the guild members are excited as they have gathered around.

Lucy and Juvia pushes through the crowd so that Lucy can see this with her own eyes.

"No way! They're really going through with it?" Lucy shocked.

"Oh, hey Lucy, glad you could make it." Mira greeted.

"Well, if those two value their man and womanhood, then they'd better go through with it." Elfman grinned, wanting to see this fight get started too.

"Glad to hear you didn't sound like you were going to call Erza a man." Mira said.

"But you gotta admit, she's manly." Marco commented.

"Bet won't this end tearing our strongest team apart?" Lucy asked worry.

"What are you talking about strongest team?" Gray puzzled.

"Oh, it was something Mira thought about Lucy, you, Juvia, Natsu, and Erza together being the strongest team in Fairy Tail." Juvia explained.

"Seriously? Where did she get a stupid idea like that?" Gray asked, causing Mira to cry of being called stupid.

"No, wait! I didn't mean to call you stupid!" Gray realized that he hurt her feelings.

"Smooth move, Gray." Lucy said sarcastically.

"Natsu and Gray maybe tough little dudes, but neither of them is even close to being the strongest. There are guys in Fairy Tail who are stronger than both of them combined, like this guy." Elfman smirked bragging about himself.

"But calling Erza the strongest woman in the guild is a pretty safe bet." Levy stated.

Levy is a rather young, petite teenage girl of a slender build who stands at a rather below-average height for her age. Her shoulder-length blue hair, which has eyebrow-length bangs, is normally tied up with a colorful bandana around her head. She wears dark blue revealing and sleeveless shirt showing a yellow bikini underneath, a silver rectangle pattern necklace, white pants, a red belt, and sandals. Breasts size: BB-cup.

"As far as the guys, it's a tough call, but I'd put my money on Laxus or Mystogan." Jet said.

Jet is a slim, young man of average height with orange hair, kept jutting backwards at the sides of his head. He has a sharp face, a prominent, flat and defined nose pointing downwards, and distinctive teeth, with a protruding, sharp, triangular-shaped upper molar complemented by a chipped portion on the lower row, something which allows him to close his teeth completely despite such a peculiar physical irregularity. He wears an open, light-brown coat with yellowish fur trimmings on its edges and sleeves, which reached down below his elbows. Below it was a high-collared purple shirt, with its collar mostly left open, which was sometimes seen left hanging over the checkered belt below it, with a rectangular buckle, and others tucked inside the baggy dark pants covering Jet's legs, in turn tucked inside dark boots. He was sometimes shown with a bracelet composed of thin ropes around his right wrist, and a watch around his left. The most distinctive piece of his attire is probably the fancy, extremely high hat matching his coat, with a large brim and fur trimmings over its entire length, at regular intervals, plus a large furry ball on its top.

"Yeah, those two are crazy strong." Droy nodded.

Droy was initially a tall, slim young man with black hair kept in an unusual, distinctive hairstyle, with a tuft of hair on top of his head jutting upwards and then curving frontwards, being reminiscent of a plant's stem. His hair extends in a rounded form on his forehead and was cut on both sides of Droy's head in a spiraling motif. Droy has dark eyes and thin dark eyebrows pointing downwards at their outer edges; his rectangular-shaped face sported sharp features, with prominent cheekbones. He wears a simple white shirt, green checkered pants, and dark shoes with lighter soles. He also sported a pair of distinctive belts crossing his chest, each passing over one of his shoulders. These belts were reminiscent of bandoliers, sporting rectangular cases on them.

"All I meant was the Natsu, Erza, and ray work well together and they have the best team chemistry in all of Fairy Tail." Mira cried.

"Wait, what does that make us?" Juvia asked shock.

"I think she sent on a mission to keep Natsu and Gray from killing each other when Erza wasn't around." Lucy stated the fact.

"Gotta say, I'm pretty psyched to see how this fight turns out." Elfman smiled.

"Oh yeah? I'm sure she'll end up mopping the floor with him." Gray rooted for Natsu to lose. But he also remembers what Nine said about Natsu being stronger than before back at the train station, but curious to see his strength.

"It's been quite a while since we've squared off like this, hasn't it, Natsu?" Erza asked, realizing it's been years.

"Yeah, I was a strong little kid, but you beat me down." Natsu nodded.

"But today's gonna be different because I'm taking you down, Erza." Natsu determined as he pound his fists together into flames.

"Oh, you're so cute when you get all excited for a fight!" Nine complimented.

"Mom! Don't call me cute when I'm about to fight!" Natsu exclaimed with his cheeks blushing a little.

"Erza, you better not hold back your strength in this fight." Nine advised.

"Don't worry, I didn't have any intention on going easy on him. In fact, I have the perfect armor for this occasion." Erza smirked with confidence.

Erza body glows that she is going for her Equip Magic to change into a new set of armor and holding another sword in her hand.

"(The Flame Empress armor, I figured you would go for that.)" Nine thought impressed.

Erza's Flame Empress armor is predominantly dark red in color, but also has orange and black parts, with the orange parts being shaped like flames and the other parts being reminiscent of Dragon's limbs. It consists of the following parts: the breastplate, the gauntlets and the greaves. The breastplate lacks pauldrons, revealing Erza's shoulders, and extends down to cover her groin, revealing her legs and, in a way, being reminiscent of a one-piece swimming suit, with an orange part covering her breasts and another one circling her waist like a belt. The black parts are mostly decorative, with the exception of the one covering her groin. The breastplate also possesses a pair of Dragon-like wings attached to it. The gauntlets sport prominent orange decorations, along with small claw-like protrusions on the hands. The greaves are shaped like Dragon's claws which possess orange-colored knee guards and black parts which extend up from the knees to the upper part of the thighs. In addition to all of this, while donning this outfit, Erza's hair is tied into a pair of high, long pigtails by clips, resembling Dragon's horns in some way.

Of course, the sword that comes with the armor is a large sword which is mostly dark red in color, with the exception of a small sliver of black in the middle, and bears orange decorations on its hand guard.

"That's Flame Empress armor! Good choice against Fire Magic." Marco stated.

"So, now Natsu's flames will only be half as effective." Laki said.

"Come on, Erza, at least give the kid a fighting chance." Wakaba chuckled.

"Both fighters ready?" Nine asked, the two nodded.

Nine blew the whistle to start the fight.

(Music: Fire Inside, Disturbed)

Natsu was the first to charge toward Erza before she could react than her throwing a flaming a punch that she dodges it, but there is a tiny, burned graze on her cheek that she notices.

"(He got me!)" Erza thought shocked.

"Did you see that! Natsu actually got a hit in!" Elfman gasped.

"That's the first hit Natsu has been able to get on Erza at all!" Juvia shocked as well and feeling a strange sensation of wanting to be touch by Natus' fire.

Erza swing her fire sword at Natsu to slash him away only for the Fire Dragon Slayer to duck under the attack and swing his flaming foot to strike, Erza jumps out of the way to avoid the hit though she still felt some of the heat from his flames on her stomach.

"Don't think I'm done!" Natsu grinned.

"Fire Dragon's Spinning Top Talon!" Natsu started spinning himself upside-down with both feet in fire big time and spin forward at Erza.

Erza quickly block the flaming spin attack with her sword, but even with the strong flaming attack from Natsu being cut down by half the physical strength is another matter that causes a strong shockwave and slowly pushing Erza back about five or six feet.

"(Damn it, he feels so much strong now!)" Erza thought shocked.

Then Natsu's flaming attack finally pushes her sword away and upward that left a big opening for him to strike.

"Fire Dragon's Claw Uppercut!" Natsu unleashed a burning uppercut that definitely hit the mark on her stomach and her chin that send Erza flying in the air.

Everybody except for Nine became shocked to see that Natsu, the idiot and powerful fire mage that they all know, was actually able to not only push Erza back a little but to also land a direct hit that sent her flying.

"Now do you see how strong I am?" Natsu asked grinning.


KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!

The fated rematch between Natsu and Erza has begun with the two being a little even only for that to change when Natsu started showing the fruits of his labor, and he landed a hit on Erza as there is more where that came from.
