Hi guys Azza here.
Just want to let you all know that this chapter in terms of what's going on will go from 0-100 real quick so I'm just going to say it now, purely intentional. Enjoy.
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
Dragon And God Combine
/Blue Pegasus Guild/
"Is this the place?"
"According to the directions gramps gave us this must be the Blue Pegasus guild, besides if I had to take a guess I'd pick this place as their guild its high class."
The group had finally arrived at the supposed meeting place for the alliance meant to take on the Oracion Seis however something seemed off.
"Seems we must be early, guess we just make ourselves comfortable."
"Hold on Gray if what I've heard about Blue Pegasus is true they're here alright. Service with a smile if I remember correctly."
"The Saint lets of a most potent parfum don't you agree men."
"Definitely, to think that someone of such class would arrive in our lowly guild."
Erza had frozen solid and had a disturbed look on her face.
"Hey Erza what's wrong, you know these guys."
"Fear not dearest Saint my honey is simply reminiscing on the time we spent together and-."
Natsu was already behind the group before they had even revealed themselves, a fierce look in his eyes.
"Here's a little advice, when a woman is shivering just by hearing you speak then she clearly doesn't want anything to do with you. Also saying that she's your honey in front of me probably isn't in your best interests, you can head on down now."
Natsu reappeared behind Erza and gave her a reassuring smile before the four mages who were previously hidden came out slowly.
"Natsu dear I'm impressed, not even ten minutes in and the first guild is already terrified of you."
"Eliza I thought I told you to cut the dear thing out, honestly you look young enough to be our age stop creeping me out."
"Eugh I knew it was that creep, Ichiya of Blue Pegasus," Erza said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Ichiya huh, well who might the rest of you be then?"
"W-well we're the Blue Pegasus Trimens, my names Hibiki."
"I'm Eve and who might you be princess," Eve said as he appeared behind Eliza.
"Dear you're literally a thousand years from being worth my time."
"Here I got you this, it's not like I like you or anything. Names Ren by the way."
"Honestly you are quite repulsive to say the least."
Natsu began to laugh however everyone stopped when they felt a large magical presence outside.
"Well I was hoping Makarov would send you Natsu, seems we'll be getting acquainted on the battlefield much sooner than expected."
"Well well if it isn't the Wizard Saint Jura, how's it going."
"Well I'd like to say great but we have a pretty tough job ahead of us so I might be inclined to say not so good."
"Well the parfum in this room just increased quite quickly, two Saints with us on this mission. You must be Lamia Scale I presume?"
"Naturally, I come bearing familiar faces it seems."
"Familiar faces what the hell are you doing here Lyon!"
"Honestly Gray mouthing off as usual, perhaps you should go back to your guild since we only need the strong here."
"What was that you wanna come over here and say that ya bastard!"
"Silence," Erza yelled as everyone but Natsu and Jura fell silent.
"So now we wait for the representatives of Cait Shelter."
"You know much about Cait Shelter Jura, I haven't been back long enough to know much about them."
"Unfortunately Natsu I probably know about as much as you do, from what I heard they're only sending one person though."
"One person, I'm getting fired up now. They must be really strong considering our guilds sent us as well as others."
"Indeed, I have been feeling a growing power for a fair time now."
"Seems like they'll be here any-."
Natsu stopped mid sentence as the door opened and a girl walked through.
"I'm sorry for being late everyo-."
The girl stopped mid sentence as she fell flat on her face.
"A young girl," Jura said under his breath as Natsu appeared next to her.
"You're not late in fact your just in time," Natsu said as he extended his hand for her.
"Oh I-I'm sorry for causing so much trouble."
"Trouble what are you talking about you just got here what'd you do?"
"W-well I fell over and…"
"Honestly child what have I told you about speaking to strangers you never know who-. Oh my apologies you're a Wizard Saint I should have realised sooner."
"In any event now that everyone is here we can get started, there isn't too much to cover aside from the members themselves and what their goal is."
"Here let me help you up er what's your name?"
"W-Wendy sir nice to meet you."
"Hi I'm Natsu how's it going," he said with a grin.
"Is that how Wizard Saints speak these days, and for your information my name is Carla now would you stop staring at me."
"Sorry it's just I have a buddy back home called Happy who looks like you only he's blue."
"N-Natsu can I ask you something?"
"Sure what's up Wendy?"
"You smell familiar why is that?"
"Ah so you noticed it too then, I can tell you're not as experienced with using your nose as I am but would it be right to assume that you're a Dragon Slayer?"
"How could you tell just from scent alone unless…."
"Bingo I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer, well to be technical there's other things attatched to that but we'll keep it short. What type of Dragon Slayer are you?"
"W-well I use Sky Dragon Slayer magic, a lot of my spells revolve around healing and support magic though but I have a few offensive spells too."
"Ah so you're Dragon must have taught you in an all rounder type fashion so you could cover the basics of all types of Slayer magic. My Dragon Igneel focused all my training on combat so it wasn't until I trained hard enough I was able to learn how to heal with my flames."
"So you were raised by a Dragon too, do you know what happened to my…."
"Sorry this is the second time I've heard that question and I told the last guy the same thing got no idea. But don't give up hope Wendy, keep looking for your Dragon and eventually you'll find them."
"Oh ok well I suppose it was worth asking anyway."
"Anyway that concludes the briefing now are there any questions before we head out?"
Natsu and Wendy looked at each other before looking over at the group with blank expressions.
"Honestly you call yourself one of the Ten Wizard Saints," Carla said in an annoyed tone.
"Relax you two I'll fill you in," Erza said as she made her way over to the two.
"Oh wow is that Miss Erza?"
"Yeah that's Erza alright; hey Erza seems you've got a fan."
Wendy began to blush as Erza knelt down and gave her a pat on the head.
"My god Natsu she's so adorable."
"Erza come on we've got a job to do you can fawn over Wendy later."
"Don't I get a say in this?"
"Child you threw yourself into this so now you deal with the consequences."
Natsu began to sniff the air as everyone began to leave.
"Erza go on ahead with Wendy I need to have a word with Jura."
Erza looked at Natsu's serious expression and nodded.
"Oi Jura I need a word with you in private," Natsu said as the two remained behind until everyone was out of earshot.
"What's the problem Natsu?"
"Well honestly I'd say it's more than just a problem, whatever plan you guys made just went out the window."
"What do you mean Natsu!"
"What I mean is theres one of the Oracion Seis are here listening."
"I see, well I'd be a fool to doubt the senses of a hardened Dragon Slayer, any idea where they are now?"
"They disappeared with the rest of the group so I'd say the Oracion Seis are planning to ambush us, it's up to us to trap them within their own trap."
"Ah I see, while using our own comrades who are currently unaware of the situation as a sort of bait we can strike as they do."
"Right let's get moving."
/Forest/
"I wonder what's keeping Natsu and the other Saint?"
"Don't worry about them Wendy I'm sure they just had some important Wizard Saint stuff to talk about."
"No I think I know why Natsu and the other Saint stayed behind, there was on odd smell back at the hall. At first I didn't know what it was but now I'm certain it was bad."
"You smelt it, Wendy are you the same as Natsu?"
"Yes I'm a Sky Dragon Slayer," she replied as an explosion went off in front of them."
"Well well what do we have here a couple little legal guilds lost in our neck of the woods eh."
"Perhaps they could fetch a good price once we beat them?"
"All of you be quiet, let's make this quick."
"Make it quick, and here I was thinking we could have a little fun. But if you insist, Brain of the Oracion Seis!"
"What how did you know we'd be here!"
From behind the Oracion Seis Natsu and Jura appeared with grins plasted on their faces.
"I was wondering when the two of you were planning to strike Natsu, leaving me out of the loop like that," Eliza said as she stepped forward.
"Had to have someone of your power on that side now let's make this quick just as Brain here wants."
"You're the Salamander; I've been waiting for so long to finally hear your thoughts."
The man's grin quickly disappeared as he clutched his head in pain before dropping to his knees.
"What the fuck, your thoughts, what the hell happened to you!"
"That's my business Cobra, you like that little snippet of my life I'll gladly share more," Natsu said with a grin as the others including Jura looked shocked.
"Enough of this foolishness, if we combine our power you fools don't stand a chance!"
"Everyone stay out of this, leave it to me Jura and Eliza."
"I'm not one to avoid a fight but I'd do as my boyfriend said, it's not that he doesn't want you all to back him up but it's so we don't get hurt if they go all out."
"B-b-boyfriend your dating Natsu," Wendy said as a blush appeared on her face.
"Honestly Wendy you're simply precious," Erza sighed as she picked her up and began to run.
"Is carrying her really necessary," Carla said as the ground began to shake.
"That answer your question, now all of you fall back!"
"Such overwhelming power, was he even trying against Deliora?"
"Lyon man this stumps me just as much as it does you," Gray sighed as everyone made some distance.
"The three of you intend to fight all of us alone, perhaps we underestimated the intelligence of you all," Brain sneered.
"Listen pal I should be back in Magnolia right now at a festival with Erza but no you bastards decide to pull your shit now, well I'm not playing around today."
The ground around Natsu began to crack as he began to power up even further, scales appearing on him as he entered Dragon Force.
"Well I may be one rank behind but I can't let him show me up now can I."
Jura placed his hands together and began to power up as well; the earth began to tremble as the two prepared for the coming fight.
"Ah now this is the type of fight I was waiting for, no point in holding my power back if the two of you aren't."
Once Eliza began to power up it was like an earthquake was happening as all the others watched the display in a mixture of awe and fear.
Wendy's focus was entirely on Natsu as she watched him enter the Dragon Force, normally such power would frighten her however it looked and felt oddly comforting. Maybe it was the fact that Natsu resembled a Dragon or the fact that this was power that she could potentially achieve. Either way she was fascinated by the display Natsu was putting on.
"Wendy are you ok," Erza asked concerned as she noticed her eyes locked onto Natsu.
"I-I'm fine it's just, I didn't realise a Dragon Slayer could be that strong."
"You're not scared of Natsu are you?"
"No I'm fine in fact I'm more surprised than anything."
Erza smiled before focusing her attention back to the trio who had been rushed by the Oracion Seis.
"Well time to see how you stack up eh Jura."
"Indeed let us see if you truly are as strong as the rumours say."
Natsu began fighting with Brain Cobra and Racer as they disappeared further into the forest, the only sign of them being the large explosions being generated by them.
"Figures he would take the Guild Master, very well I'll take the earth user and the girl."
The three quickly disappeared in a different direction leaving Eliza with the final member who was asleep on a carpet.
"Well now that's an interesting form of magic you have there dear, under normal circumstances you wouldn't be scratched. However, War God's Armageddon Fist!"
Throwing a punch that tore up the ground Eliza started the fight with the man as the attack was redirected back towards the others who began to panic.
"Ah its as I thought, your magic allows you to redirect attacks. But it seems your barrier was far from perfect."
A visible crack could be seen surrounding the man as he slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems ….. you are no ordinary opponent."
"Naturally."
/Forest Natsu's POV/
"The infamous Natsu Dragneel, Tartaros and Grimoire would be delighted to know I'll have you disposed of soon."
"Well you're pretty cocky for someone who can't even land a punch and you why keep trying to read my thoughts you'll drive yourself insane doing that."
"It's how I fight idiot; I use the thoughts of my opponents to read their movements before they make them."
"Well look guys I'm not really in the mood to play around ok, I've dealt with plenty of bastards like you guys so I'll give you one chance, get out of here or I'll kick your asses."
"As if I'd retreat because of some punk! Dark Capriccio!"
Brain fired a large beam of darkness at Natsu who simply shattered it by holding out his right hand.
"Pathetic, Fire Dragon King's Quaking Roar!"
Firing his roar directly at the three Racer was easily able to avoid the attack while Brain and Cobra were forced to take the brunt of the attack.
"There's no escape for you buddy, Fire Dragon King's Iron Fist!"
Hitting Racer in the back of the head Natsu sent the man flying into the woods hitting every tree as he went.
"Such power no wonder Valthiem fell and Bluenote failed to defeat you on time. Ah so Racer is already out, you must hit pretty hard then."
Natsu watched as a line began to disappear on Brain.
"Better hope all of these don't disappear before you beat me or you'll experience true hell!"
Hell eh, you wanna know one of the parts everyone thinks awaits them in hell? The pits of hell I can give you right now, Fire Dragon King's Inferno Wave!"
Natsu outstretched both of his arms and released a searing blast of fire that turned everything it touched to ash.
Brain and Cobra barely managed to escape its path as it tore past them, Brain had a shocked look on his face as he turned to Cobra.
"Have you retrieved the girl?"
"Cubellios just picked her up," Cobra said with a grin.
"With the Sky Maiden we can bring him back, everything can proceed as planned."
"What, who did you take!"
"Looks like we angered the Dragon, we shouldn't be surprised though Dragons are quite rare these days after all."
Natsu's eyes widened as he realised who the two were talking about.
"Wendy!"
Natsu disappeared as Brain began to laugh.
"That kids something else man, we need to get him revived quickly before that punk comes back."
"Indeed Cobra his power is interesting for sure I wasn't expecting him to come at us like that or I would have asked you all to release the seals."
"Oi you cant be serious remember how hard he was to seal."
"That's irrelivent at this point, go gather the other Dark Guilds to hold off the others. We need to focus on the Saints and that other woman; also Erza Scarlet could be a problem now that we've removed the Sky Maiden from her."
"Oh don't worry about her Cubellios left her a little gift before she left," Cobra said with a sly grin.
/Forest Eliza's POV/
"Nightmare magic, once again dear that won't work against me although it was a good try."
"I sense something otherworldly about you, your no ordinary woman to be sure."
"I would love to converse with you longer but my darling daughter has been barking in my ear since she woke up and I need to devote more of my time to her."
"Looking down upon our guild will only lead to the deaths of all those who followed the foolish Saints here."
"Honestly I'm not really inclined to feel fear from any of you, go ahead have a free hit. Your attacks mean nothing to me and let me tell you if I can shrug off your attacks the two Saints as you call them can easily do the same. Perhaps a career change is in order dear."
Midnight swiped his hand left and cut Eliza in half horizontally.
"Perhaps you should back up the trash you talk next time."
"Is that so then perhaps you should actually follow up your attacks to ensure your target is defeated or even fazed. Honestly most of you fools would die if you stepped on a real battlefield."
"How are you not dead I cut you clean in two!"
"That's what I relish about the battle the most, the fear the enemy feels once they realise they're outclassed. You are a strong mage I'll give you that in fact out of your little group you're probably second to the Master himself. Unfortunately you drew the wrong opponent, well let's be honest you all did."
"Your all fools, you're all busy playing hero but don't realise you're walking clean into a trap, you might defeat me but its meaningless Nirvana will be revived."
"I assume you're happy to be defeated due to the binds on that man that are linked to all of you sorry to say but I already know about that. Let's see how much fun we can have today dear, Natsu could probably handle that mans hidden form so don't think I'm worried in the slightest.
"Heh looking down on us like this, once you realise the trap it'll be too late."
"A traps only effective when it catches its victims unaware, last I checked I am fully aware of the situation."
"Now's not the time to be trading words with you, Brain needs me so I'll be seeing you."
Midnight turned invisible as Eliza began to laugh.
"Once again dear you don't understand the gravity of the situation; you were beaten the moment I was chosen as your opponent."
Eliza summoned an Ebony Blade as she began to walk forward slowly.
"War God's Slicing Winds!"
Swinging the sword from left to right the winds began to pick up until they began to cut everything before it. In no time at all Midnight was visible again being forced to remove his invisibility in order to reflect the attacks.
"You aren't going anywhere I'm afraid dear."
"You'd fit in with Tartaros they love freaks like you."
"Sorry dear I'm already in one of these guilds and this one gives me plenty of amusement."
"Amusement, you're a real bitch you know that."
"Well your charming aren't you." Summoning an Ebony Javelin she looked at Midnight with a sly grin.
"War God's Shattering Impact!"
The javelin was thrown with so much power behind hit that Midnight's magic couldn't reflet it and it pierced through his shoulder, pinning him to a tree.
"Well you're definitely an annoying one," Midnight growled as he looked at the javelin sticking out of his shoulder.
"Well you called me such an offensive name I had no choice but to teach you a lesson."
"You win I already knew I stood no chance, remember what's coming though. You won't be able to stop it even with your power hehe."
Eliza began to walk away as Midnight slumped to the ground.
"Why can't there be more strong opponents like Natsu around."
"MOTHER!"
"Your yelling is becoming too loud even for me Elise what do you want."
"I'm fine now so let me back into my body!"
"I told you why I'm not letting you back in yet it's for your own good."
"You don't know that will happen if I take over so just let me take control, if it does you can force me out again cant you?"
"Hm well I could dear but I told you I didn't like doing that so I'd rather not."
"But I'm giving you my permission this time, please everyone's having such fun while I've been stuck in here for ages."
"Did you know that Natsu become one of those Wizard Saints while you were out."
"WHAT HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN OUT, LET ME TAKE OVER THIS IS CRAZY!"
"Alright once I take us back to Erza and the others I'll let you take control how does that sound?"
"Hold on you said that if I come back unprepared I could flip out so shouldn't we do that away from them?"
"True I suppose I'll stop and we can do it here."
"I'll be fine mother if I can harass you for three days straight I should be mentally stable."
"You know not to use that form again until we can improve it further right Elise?"
"Yes mother I understand besides you already took out that Midnight guy and Natsu is fighting the leader so I shouldn't need to use it."
"As long as you understand Elise."
/Forest Natsu's POV/
Natsu raced through the forest using his abilities to their fullest in order to hit his top speed. Arriving at the area where Erza and Wendy were previously he began to sniff the air for a scent.
"Damn the scents converge here, better find Erza first to make sure she's ok."
Natsu began to follow Erza's scent until he came across her, his eyes filled with shock as he saw her writhing on the ground in pain.
"Erza!"
"N-Natsu they took her…. the snake…. save Wendy she's just a young girl."
"My healing magic isn't strong enough to heal this, but Wendy's might be. But I can't just leave you here Erza, where's Gray?"
"Enemy came through….. he was really fast…. Gray and Lyon were holding him off."
"Damn I thought that guy was done after I got him, what should I do I can't just leave you behind Erza not in this state."
"Natsu listen…. save Wendy, don't let her end up the same as me."
Natsu was surprised at Erza's statement as she fell unconscious. Sensing someone coming Natsu prepared to fight before he sighed in relief.
"Well I was expecting Eliza but I'm glad to see you, it's been awhile."
"Well it's a shame we aren't able to catch up, what's wrong with Erza she looks really sick?"
"She got bitten by a snake; my magic can't cleanse the poison from her body. Elise I'm glad you're here though can you look after Erza for me so I can go and get this girl who can help?"
"Sure Natsu is there anything I need to do for her?"
"Nothing more than I've already done, if anyone tries to attack her while I'm gone though feel free to kill them."
"Oh um ok Natsu."
"That look in his eyes dear, that is the look of someone who is going to raise hell," Eliza said with a hint of laughter in her voice.
"I have Wendy's scent so it shouldn't take me too long, Gray might be back soon too so fill him in if he gets beck before me," Natsu said before he disappeared into the forest.
"Mother can you keep an eye on him I'm worried he might go too far."
"If that's what my darling daughter wishes then who am I to say no, you won't hear from me for a bit dear but I'll be back soon."
"Of course mother, don't let him kill anyone it's not his way."
"I know dear though stopping him would be another matter entirely."
"You know he would be thankful later on mother now go I'll be fine."
"Honestly Elise you'll nag my ear off one day," Eliza said as her presence disappeared from Elise.
"Well this feels strange, it feels like there's a void inside me. I suppose mother has been there constantly for years so it's no wonder it feels odd."
/Forest Natsu and Eliza's POV/
As Natsu continued to sprint through the forest a voice began to speak to him.
"My you would make a rather dashing God of War you know."
"Not now Eliza I'm a bit busy."
"Dear I'm here to help you find the girl, besides you might find this handy."
"Hey wait what are you-."
Natsu's vision began to change as he suddenly saw himself from above and the scent he was following as a trail.
"What the hell did you do?"
"This is how Elise always manages to get around so quickly, it never hurts to have a different perspective on things. Look there the girl is over in that cave, you can tell by the line that leads towards her. Also see the red signatures those are hostiles, anyone who is hostile will come up like that."
"Uh huh so what does that gray signature mean then?"
"Well it appears they've already killed someone, the deceased appear as grey."
"Why are you doing this for me?"
"Well Natsu let's just say I too don't want to see Erza die, also I get to see you in action firsthand this time so it's a treat for me. Just remember no killing dear or Elise will be upset."
"Ah so Elise was worried about me going on a rampage, well I am still considering it but when you put it like that I guess I shouldn't."
"Also while I'm here you might feel your magic reserves increasing, that's an effect I seem to have when I merge with someone although I don't really see a downside."
"Next thing you know I'll be a God Slayer."
"Perhaps when Elise no longer has anything to learn from me I'd consider it, after all I don't really have the effort level to train multiple students and knowing you I'd be getting hard pressed for training."
"Relax I was kidding, maybe one day I'd learn from you but as it stands now I'm way too busy to start learning another style of fighting."
"I agree dear it has been nonstop for you, ah we're here."
Natsu stopped just outside the cave as he peered in, his eyes widening in shock.
"Well now that certainly wasn't what I was expecting," Eliza said as Natsu entered the cave.
"Oh it looks like you finally found us then; we no longer have need of the girl so you can have her. We now have one who will open the way to power, Jellal lead us to Nirvana!"
The eyes of the previously deceased Jellal opened as he exited the coffin he was placed in.
"Who …. am I?"
"He's lost his memories, I don't know if that's good or bad for us at this point though."
"Ah I see what's happened here, they used little Wendy's unique ability to revive Jellal here. However due to the injuries sustained in his previous battle with you and the ensuing explosion of the tower his mind has been shattered."
"But Eliza how could a girl her age actually revive someone I've never heard of such a spell?"
"It's a spell unique to her Sky Dragon Slaying repertoire Natsu, the Sky Dragon Grandina knows her stuff that's for certain."
"Yeah well if that Brain guy's got control of Jellal things are about to get a lot worse, with Wendy here I'm gonna have heaps of trouble fending the two of them off."
"Jellal you must assist me in resurrecting Nirvana, that is what we were doing before this man came and hurt you. We tried everything to get you back but it seems your mind is still clouded."
"That man …. is my enemy?"
"Shit he's done it now."
"Best get ready dear this is about to get dangerous."
"Wendy use your nose to find the others, follow my scent back to them, there's no time to stand around these guys are dangerous!"
"I-I'm sorry Natsu he didn't give me a choice!"
"It's ok Wendy Erza told me what happened but I need you to be brave right now and go find her, she's dying Wendy and only your healing magic can save her! I'll hold these guys off so you can get back but promise me you'll hurry!"
"I-I'll do my best," Wendy said as she began to sprint out of the cave.
"That child has some real potential," Eliza said as Wendy left.
"Yeah she's a little shy and a bit timid but if she can outgrow that she'll be a force to be reckoned with."
"Hey Salamander what's with you, when I read you there's another voice?"
"Shit Cobra's here too, well I guess beating on him is good enough revenge for the snake. Three on one eh this isn't gonna be fun. You know I barely beat Jellal in a one on one before right."
"Natsu you realise that your stronger now than you were then, besides I can provide you with magic reserves so you can fight harder. To pay me back I have a little favour I want to ask later."
"Of course there's a catch, well it can't be that bad so why not."
"You shouldn't have come here alone Saint," Brain said with a grin.
"I won't let you hurt my friends," Jellal said as he began to power up.
"He just had to have amnesia didn't he," Natsu sighed.
Everyone began to power up as the cave quickly collapsed. Four figures shot out from the rubble as they began to clash.
"Wow Dragon Force has never felt this easy to use before."
"Focus Natsu," Eliza said as Jellal punched Natsu in the face.
"Fire Dragon King's Quaking Roar!"
"Poison Dragon's Roar"
"Dark Capriccio!"
Natsu's attack clashed with Brain and Cobra's attacks however Natsu's attack quickly broke through.
"Fire Dragon King's Quaking Iron Fist!"
Hitting Jellal in the chest he sent him flying into a nearby cliff as Brain appeared behind him and the two began to exchange a series of punches.
"Give up Dragneel you stand no chance!"
"Piss off Brain as if I'd let you all go knowing what your planning!"
Cobra appeared behind Natsu and threw a punch covered in poison at the back of his head. Before it made contact Natsu ducked and it narrowly missed Brain who jumped several meters back.
"And as for you this is what I'm gonna do to that damn snake if I catch it, Fire Dragon King's Quaking Talon!"
Kicking Cobra in the face he was sent flying as Natsu re engaged Brain once again.
"Just die you fool, do you really think you stand a chance against the Bharam Alliance!"
"I'll take my chances old man, Fire Dragon King's Reverberating Iron Fist!"
Natsu hit Brain in the jaw as Jellal reappeared in a flash.
"Meteor!"
"Seriously, he doesn't remember me but he remembers how to fight what type of crap is that!"
"Perhaps its instinct, either way we're doing well so far although I have noticed that more of the lines on that Brain fellow have disappeared as we have been fighting."
"Any idea what that means?"
"From what I understand if they all disappear Brain's true power will be unleashed, I was told this by the member I defeated earlier."
"So in other words we need to hurry this up then, easier said than done. If it was just one it'd be easy but Jellal and Brain together are proving to be a real problem. If we can remove Cobra from the fight I wouldn't be at risk of being poisoned but I can't let any of them out of my sight until I'm sure Wendy got away."
"So my advice is stall for time and retreat then, there's no point in drawing out the fight if we don't need to. Normally I wouldn't suggest this and we most likely would win a drawn out engagement but there are still other members of the Oracion Seis in the area and Wendy may encounter them."
"Damn it's hard enough fighting Jellal when he's using Meteor but having to worry about Wendy on top of that's making this a lot harder. Hold on I smell something."
"Oh dear this battle just turned in their favour."
Hundreds of mages began to appear from the forest and began launching all kinds of spells at Natsu.
"What the fuck where the hell did they come from!"
"It seems they came prepared for any interference, I'd wager this isn't their full force though. Natsu we have two options here, we can either run now or we can try something extremely risky and hope it works."
"Well running is out of the question so what's your idea?"
"We temporarily combine our power together and hope it doesn't backfire on us, if it does we could both perish."
"Well you don't seem too concerned with doing it, more importantly why are you suggesting it. I'm surprised you're helping me as much as you are."
"Well to be honest I've come to respect you Natsu, I suppose the human term for it is that I consider you a friend."
"Friends huh well I wasn't really expecting that but I'm glad you wanna be my friend, how about we mark our friendship by beating the crap out of these guys."
"Of course Natsu, remember this will only be temporary and you won't have this power once this is over."
"If it doesn't backfire on us you mean."
"Well if it doesn't then we have a new strategy for the future if we come across similar situations and if it does, well I'll bring you over to my realm and we can hang out."
"You sound less and less like a mother and more like someone my age Eliza."
"Maybe you and the others are starting to rub off on me."
"Does that work for a God?"
"Who knows, now let's do this."
"Right so how does this work exactly?"
"This might feel awkward but I'm dividing control of your body between us, keep using your half to fight off enemies and I'll use my half. Next I'll begin pouring my power into you."
Before Natsu had a chance to say anything he was engulfed in a golden light. Every mage in the area took a step back as Natsu rose into the air before the blinding light disappeared.
Once the light disappeared Natsu was standing in the centre of all the hostile dark mages, his Wizard Saint outfit now had Ebony Plating on it and he had two Ebony swords in his hands.
"What is this is this how Elise felt when she was up against Ikaruga?"
"It seems the merge was a success I knew it would work with you. You possess enough raw power, strength and untapped potential to pull this off. And to answer your question no this isn't the same."
"So what exactly am I then?"
"Hm well this hasn't happened in at least eight hundred years if I remember correctly, to put it in simple terms we have broken the rule that prevents a God from walking the mortal realm."
"Wait so I'm a God now so I can do anything then?"
"No in fact as we are now we can still die, you see we are a sort of hybrid I suppose you could call it, half human half God."
"But isn't Elise's new form a demigod state, isn't that what a half human half God is?"
"Elise's form isn't a demigod state; she's nowhere near that stage yet. No we are the true form of a demigod as it stands. We are still mortal and can still be killed, just saying that actually makes me feel fear. But I was interested to see if this would work from the moment Elise told me to go with you and here we are."
"So what makes me better to how I was before then if I can still die?"
"Well our spells have now combined to create a whole new type of magic; I like to call it Dragon God magic. It contains all of our combined powers spells and abilities including your Crash magic so we shouldn't have too much trouble dealing with these fools."
"This seems a bit excessive Eliza, do we really need this much power for a bunch of random mages?"
"Natsu do you see an end to them because I don't, besides we can practice on them," she said with a small giggle.
"Well I guess since your offering to do this again practicing while we have the chance is a good idea. But I just have one more question, while we were transforming where did Brain, Jellal and Cobra go?"
Eliza was silent for a moment before Natsu sighed in annoyance.
"Fine we'll get rid of these guys now, as I was before some of these guys combined could have equalled at least Brain's level so we should do everyone a favour and take them down now."
"Now remember Natsu we aren't used to this power yet so no Crash magic on your attacks, keep up your Crash Barrier for defence only."
"Fine fine now let's test these arms of yours out," Natsu said as he began to walk towards the dark guild members.
"Oi you done talking to yourself!"
"Yeah we ain't here for a lightshow!"
"You guys get one chance to surrender," Natsu said as he raised the swords into a cross.
"As if we'd surrender, there's one of you and over one thousand of us! The Alliance would have us killed if we ran away at those odds not that we'd need to since your clearly stupid for facing the Alliance in the first place!"
"Natsu it seems they don't wish to surrender."
"Well you all had your chance, hope they have one thousand hospital beds back where you came from."
The Ebony swords Natsu was holding lit on fire as he dashed towards the large group of enemies.
"Fire Dragon God's Armageddon Flameblade!"
Natsu began to tear through the dark guild members as he cut them down one by one with precision.
"My swordsmanship would probably never be this good."
"And my fire would never be that potent, an excellent combination. Let's try melee next."
The Ebony blades disappeared as Natsu jumped into another group of mages and began easily dispatching them as they came.
"This is a whole new level Eliza this is crazy!"
"This Natsu is the power of a god."
Natsu was easily overwhelming the dark mages as Brain watched on from the distance in pure shock.
"We need to move quickly you two, the time to summon Nirvana is now or never. I don't know what that man did but he has become something else."
The three quickly disappeared into the forest leaving the ordinary mages to their fate at the hands of Natsu.
"Natsu we need to hurry, the other members could be attacking Wendy as we speak."
Natsu quickly realised that Eliza was right and began quickly knocking all the other mages out.
"Damn there's a lot of them even with my current reflexes I can still get hit at least a few times."
"Your still adjusting it seems, to be expected of course. If you were able to grasp this power that fast you'd be better off as a God."
"Right well lets try and finish these guys up quickly," Natsu said as he rushed another group.
/Forest Wendy's POV/
Wendy had been running almost nonstop for the last twenty minutes. Fearful that the man who had come to save her might be in danger she shook her head of those thoughts and continued running.
"He'll be fine after all he looked strong. I need to find Miss Erza!"
Wendy couldn't help but feel worried though, the sudden shift in the wind told her of an unnatural occurrence, one that she didn't know what to make of.
Arriving back at the area where she last saw Erza she was shocked to see Erza unconscious and another woman standing guard over her.
"Um excuse me are you a friend of Natsu's," Wendy asked as the woman looked over at her.
"Are you the one who can heal Erza," the woman asked as Wendy nodded.
"Please do what you can; she's been getting worse since I got here. Oh my name is Elise by the way."
"My names Wendy pleased to meet you," she said as she began examining Erza's arm.
"Hey Wendy can I ask you something?"
"Ok," Wendy said as she began to apply healing magic to Erza.
"When you last saw Natsu did anything seem strange to you?"
"Well the last time I saw him he was fighting three people. The leader, the man with the snake and a guy called Jellal."
Elise's eyes shot open.
"Jellal are you sure that was his name!"
"Y-yes I'm positive that was him."
"How he should have been dead, Natsu barely defeated him back at the tower in a one on one fight so how could he fight him plus two more unless…. oh mother of course."
Wendy looked at the woman with confusion.
"It would take far too long to explain but don't worry Natsu's fine. Once Erza's awake we can get moving to them. Honestly mother you tell me not to do anything risky yet you pull a stunt as dangerous as that on someone who hasn't trained in the War God path."
Wendy finished healing Erza as the poison began to recede; Erza's eyes began to open as Wendy sighed in relief.
"W-Wendy and …. Elise is that you?"
Erza slowly sat up as she looked around.
"Oh boy are you going to be pissed at Natsu when you hear this Erza," Elise said with a sigh.
Before Erza could reply the ground began to shake as a giant pillar of energy erupted in the forest.
"What on Earthland is that!"
"That must be Nirvana Erza, mother told me about it before she left with Natsu."
"Left with Natsu, how does that work?"
"She essentially entered his being I suppose similar to how she does with me, she's helping him fight."
"For those two to have to team up it must be quite the opponent they're facing. By the way why would I be angry at Natsu?"
"Well it's not just Natsu you will be angry with but mother as well, they combined themselves for some reason."
"Combined themselves what does that mean?"
"Basically mother has the ability to fuse herself with someone she is currently connected with; the person becomes a demigod of sorts. However this is extremely dangerous and could have killed them both. Surprisingly it was successful and they are still currently fighting a large magical presence to the east, we should regroup with him as soon as we can."
"That idiot better have a good reason for doing that, I won't accept anything less than a final stand type situation for risking his life like that!"
"Um sorry Erza for leaving him but he made me come to heal you," Wendy stuttered as Erza sighed and gave her a pat on the head.
"It's not your fault Wendy, to be fair Natsu was probably right in sending you back anyway."
"He said that fighting the snake man, the master and Jellal at the same time would mean-."
Erza stared at Wendy in complete shock.
"Did you just say Jellal, guy with blue hair and has a weird tattoo near his eye?"
"Yes they forced me to revive him from death so they could use him to summon that big pillar of light over there, he's lost his memory though and the master tricked him into fighting Natsu."
"Elise you said I'd be mad but after hearing that I'm anything but, Jellal by himself is strong enough to fight Natsu so the fact he isn't dead means I owe Eliza one, unfortunately."
"Well that's a surprise normally you get mad at Natsu for pulling a life threatening stunt."
"Well this is an exception, which reminds me you're not off the hook yet either for the stunt you pulled back at the tower!"
"Hey wait a minute that was different!"
"Um shouldn't we go help Natsu?"
The two stopped arguing and sighed."
"Wendy's right we need to back Natsu up as quick as we can."
The three began to run back towards the last place Wendy had seen Natsu, unaware that a large scale battle was being fought.
As I said this chapter goes from 0-100 real quick. Now I know that there will be people who won't be fans of this but keep in mind it isn't permanent and Natsu won't have God Slayer powers or anything like that once it's over it's literally Elise lending him her power so he doesn't get overwhelmed which resulted in the new form.
Also I know that there are other people there too but let's be honest would you prefer combat from the perspective of Natsu and Eliza or combat from the perspective of the Trimens or Lyon's friends. As for Jura well his fight in the actual arc was pretty lacklustre but it will be the same. Angel joined him though so you can expect he waste landed her. As for Gray well his fight with Racer really in my opinion isn't as important right now so that's why he isn't in this chapter combat wise.
But by all means feel free to review and all that good stuff and I hope to see you all in the next chapter!
