I was going to release this chapter alongside another one but once I finished it I thought I just have to get a reaction on this so here you all go oh and sorry in advance for teasing at the end!
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
The Grand Magic Games: Day Three
Natsu arrived back at the Honey Bone Inn in the early hours of the morning, quietly making his way inside he inwardly groaned when he saw Makarov sitting atop the bar counter quietly drinking.
"You're back awfully late my boy."
"Had some … business to take care of."
"You know storming a guild hall has consequences right?"
"Did you hear what they did to the girl I sent here you would've done the same."
Makarov sighed and took a sip from his mug before nodding. "Yes I suppose you are right, so how did it go?"
"Ended up having a little fight with the Master before his daughter came in and stopped it, said that we should save it for the games or afterward."
"Well at least there won't be consequences over this, I'm glad you sent the girl here she's in with Erza, Mira, Elise and Wendy at the moment. I must say how a legal guild can behave in such a manner shocks me."
"Yeah she didn't deserve what they did to her, do you know if they're awake?"
"Last I heard they were and they were talking about you from what I could make out."
"Ah great, well I'm feeling pretty drained so I'm gonna go get some sleep hopefully."
"Hold on a moment Natsu there is one other thing I need to ask, those powerful tremors that could be felt earlier today you didn't happen to be the cause of those did you?"
"Not … entirely no," Natsu said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head. "Mystogan may or may not have been involved."
"Ah so it relates to THAT, anything new come up?"
"In addition to 12 Spriggan there are also 12 Leichart all of whom are just as great so take from that what you will I'm going to bed."
Makarov seemed to age several years but nodded as Natsu made his way down the hallway but stopped when he heard chatter behind a door.
"Does he always do things like this for people he meets?"
"Natsu is probably one of the kindest, bravest men you'll ever meet Yukino he always makes sure that everybody can remain happy and cheerful even at the cost of his own happiness."
"Yeah he hasn't been looking too happy lately his smiles seem rather forced, the only time I've seen him smile for real since we got back from Scarlione was when Wendy beat the crap out of the Twin Dragons. Do you have any idea why he'd be like that Erza?"
"He hasn't mentioned anything to me Elise though we've all been rather busy so there hasn't been time, hey I have an idea we should all do something nice for him for a change!"
"That's a great idea Erza Natsu's always doing things for us its our turn to give back!"
"But what should we do for him though Mira I don't know what he'd really like?"
"Hmm that's a good question he never really mentions anything he likes these days so it's hard to tell what he'd want, food maybe?"
"That's too basic Elise it's got to be something that means something to him from all of us so that he knows we appreciate everything we do for him!"
Natsu smiled as he began walking down the hallway once more and made his way to the room that he and Erza share, opening the door he was surprised to see Wendy curled up in the bed.
"Well I guess I can't blame her," he sighed as he slipped into bed quietly and slowly drifted off to sleep his fatigue from the last few days catching up with him.
/Domus Flau/
After a very slow morning where Natsu was crushed by a sleeping Erza who refused to move until she'd had her sleep the guild finally managed to make their way over to the arena where the announcements were already being made.
"Today we have the King Toma E. Fiore here with us today as one of our distinguished guests please make him feel welcome," Chapati shouted as the crowd cheered for their King who waved from his own viewing spot.
"Also here today with us is the current Magic Council who are here to oversee a special expedition match between two Wizard Saints, more on that after the other events for today."
"That's right Mr Yajima we still have many other action packed battles and a fan favourite game for you today, making its return for the third year in a row its Pandemonium!"
The crowd cheered as the large intimidating castle like structure appeared in the arena followed by a list of mages who will be participating.
"Alright now for those of you who don't know Pandemonium is a game where mages must enter the space inside the castle and slay some monsters each varying in strength and the amount of points. All up there are 100 monsters inside which is a total value of 100 points."
The mages who had been chosen began to make their way down with Erza and Mira jumping down and walking on over.
"Alright now each of you will draw from this box and will proceed in order, Erza Scarlett drew number one so she goes first. Walk up to the entrance and declare how many you wish to fight and you will be transported into the castle."
Erza nodded as she walked forward and stood before the castle. "My name is Erza Scarlett of Fairy Tail and I challenge … all of them."
The crowd was stunned except for the members of Fairy Tail, Jura and Yamata of the Highfather guild.
Erza was warped into the arena as the beasts began to appear within, all eyes were on Erza as she took a deep breath.
"Requip: Heaven's Wheel!"
The moment Erza requiped swords began to rain down upon the beasts as Erza surveyed them.
"And Erza is off to a fearsome start hitting all the creatures with a hail of swords," Chapati shouted.
"I see so they aren't element based … then that leaves me with options," Erza said to herself as she began to dodge the attacks.
"Classic Erza testing the waters with an attack I'd expect nothing less," Natsu said with a small smile.
"Requip: Robe Of Yuen!"
"Huh haven't seen that one before … looks real good on her."
"She must have picked it up during training," Mira said as Natsu nodded.
Swords in hand Erza began to gracefully slice and dice her way through the fodder beasts leaving the crowd in awe at such graceful swordsmanship. Erza's dance was interrupted as several larger beasts began approaching.
"Yeah figured it'd be laid out like that, start off with the fodder to make you think that this'll be a cakewalk then send in heavy hitters just as things are looking good," Natsu said with an amused look. "Such tactics don't work on someone like Erza though."
Erza dodged several blasts of magic that shot from the beasts mouths as she began to rush towards them with blinding speed, jumping into the air she impaled her two swords into the head of one of them and kept moving as she summoned two more swords in her hands.
The beasts began to surround her and fire concentrated blasts of magic at her, Erza dispelled one sword and in its place was half a shield.
"That's from Erza's Adamantine Armor isn't it," Mira asked aloud.
"In a situation like this using the Adamantine Armor as intended would be a waste of time, she doesn't get as much protection as she would using the full set but with her magical power in mind its easily enough to deflect attacks like that," Elise replied.
True enough Erza casually batted the attack back with her shield taking out many of the lesser beasts that crossed its path as she charged forward once more, dispelling the shield she re summoned a second sword and was back on the offensive.
"That's good old Erza, you won't find a better Requip Mage in all the land who could perform it on the fly like that. To be able to read your opponents and choose a countermeasure in the heat of the moment is the mark of a true master of her style of fighting."
"We get it Natsu she's doing great now shut up and watch the fight," Gray groaned.
Back inside Pandemonium Erza had wiped out most of the fodder and brute beasts leaving what would be considered the A Class and S Class beasts which had just begun to spawn in as she cut her way to the outside of the castle.
Leaping up onto the supports of the castle Erza came face to face with many of the S Class beasts, deciding that it was time to take it up a notch she began to glow.
"Requip: Darklight Final Blade Templar Armor!"
Erza was clad in what could only be described as heavy armor, the armor was black from what looked to be burns but showed no signs of weakness. Not a single part of her body wasn't armoured since the armor even came with a fearsome looking helmet that glowed red where the eyes should be some of her hair came out the back of her helmet and rested around her shoulders. In her left hand was a large charred black looking tower shield and in her right hand was a charred black staff that seemed to be taller than she was and looked quite heavy.
"Erza must have done some strength training to be able to move around in all that."
"You haven't even seen what she can do with it yet Natsu its amazing it's like it weighs nothing to her and the magic it grants her … well you'll see," Elise said now sporting a wide grin.
"Well you seem to know a lot about it Elise?"
"Of course I do dummy I'm the one that made it for her look at the colouring of the armor, shield and lance that's made from my magic!"
"Really, why's it look all charred then?"
"That's because of its namesake, Darklight Final Blade Templar Armor, I'm sure you're wondering where the blade is well you might get to see it."
"So there is a blade…"
"Yep just one though, my goal was two but I ran out of Ebony before I could finish it. It's a shame because it would have completed the set so until then she has to make do with one."
Natsu nodded and watched in surprise as Erza swiftly began scaling the supports of the castle until she reached the top which appeared to be an open arena, standing on one side over twenty A Class beasts arrived with more scaling the walls.
"Time to use this for real, thanks Elise. Darklight Holy Shower!"
Slamming the end of the lance into the ground the edge of the lance began to glow a dark purple with bright yellow mixed in and shot into the clouds, everyone held their breath until the sky grew dark and hundreds of dark purple and bright yellow magic blasts rained down from the sky taking out many A Class beasts however more continued to scale the wall and there were many closing in.
Assuming a new stance Erza held the lance out in front of her as the tower shield began to glow the same bright yellow as before, the first A Class beast hit the shield full force but Erza wasn't even pushed back an inch.
"Now for the counter, Darklight Holy Ray Lancer!"
The impact from the beast that hit the shield sent a dark purple glow from the shield, through Erza and into the lance. Jumping into the air Erza gripped the lance with both hands and began to twirl it above her head before locking onto a specific target and aiming directly at it.
Coming down with considerable force the end of the lance cracked the centre of the stage sending out the damage the shield had taken earlier into any of the beasts that were standing on the platform.
Not done yet Erza began twirling the lance around as more beasts closed in slaying them from all sides as they fell lifeless around her, as she did so the lance began glowing once again this time the glow was black and gold in colour.
As she continued to take out every beasts around her the glow reached a point where it began to blind many in the audience.
"Alright, Darklight Holy Judgement Wave!"
The energy that had been accumulating in the lance was focused on the end of the lance and fired in a beam of pure magical energy that was a mixture of black and gold. Erza spun around in a circle several times wiping out anything on the stage as the beam finally died.
The lance disappeared from her hands and in its place was a two handed bastard sword that she held out to the side of her with one hand, said bastard sword was the same design as the rest of her gear.
"That blast she just did is comparable to my Fire Dragon King's Roar!"
"Yup Erza and I have been training really hard you know, you didn't think that every time we all had to go off and train you were the only one doing stuff did you?"
Natsu didn't answer as he stood there captivated by Erza as she stood atop the stage awaiting the arrival of the S Class beasts.
There was a pause when suddenly loud screeches could be heard and many people began to gasp as large demonic looking beings began to ascend to the top where Erza was waiting, said beasts were far too big to actually stand on the stage so they hung off the castle walls roaring and screeching.
"I will not relent now I must win for Fairy Tail," Erza declared as the lead S Class beast roared.
Erza's free hand became cloaked in the same Darklight Magic she had been using earlier as she rushed towards the first beast the bastard sword extended to her right as she jumped in the air to avoid a punch.
"Darklight Holy Vertical Buster!"
As the sword lagged behind her in the jump she swiftly brought it up over her head and as it came down it released an attack that cleaved the beast in two causing the other S Class beasts to roar and begin to attack.
The crowd watched on in awe as one by one the S Class beasts were eliminated until there was only one left, said final S Class beasts had been sitting back until now watching the rest attack but now that it was alone it just growled as Erza began to come closer.
"This should finish it, Darklight Holy Cross!"
Swinging her sword in an X formation it left a dark purple X imprint in the air, extending her free hand she began to channel magic into it and then motioned for it to move forward.
The attack went for only a moment as the X shaped formation began to send out continueous slash attacks dicing the beast to bits.
Erza panted as she released the armor and Pandemonium disappeared, looking up she saw Natsu who had a captivated look with a smile included and in her mind that's all she needed to see.
'That's all I needed … to see that smile again, I hope you liked the show … Natsu.'
The crowd roared in approval as Chapati and Yajima tried and failed for some time to quiet them down until finally order returned.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen since Erza Scarlett defeated all 100 monsters in Pandemonium we have decided to use a Magic Power Finder to determine 2nd through 8th place, but before we get to that there is the matter of how many points we shall award Fairy Tail Team A and it has been decided that 40 points is suitable for such a performace," Yajima said as the crowd cheered once again.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen now onto the Magic Power Finder, to explain this device will be Lahar!"
"Thank you Chapati, now the Magic Power Finder is a device the Magic Council uses when testing potential new recruits. It will display a number based on how powerful of an attack hits it."
"Alright you heard the man folks and first up we have Milliana from Mermaid Heel!"
Erza who was slightly dazed after her fight was shaken out of her trance at the mention of her name.
"Milliana!"
Said girl removed her cloak and sure enough it was the cat lover herself.
"Hi Erzy sorry to not come say hi earlier but things have been rather busy and Kagura is a slave driver, meet up after the games today kay!"
Erza just nodded dumbly as Milliana went up to the MPF and threw her strongest attack at it.
"And Milliana scores 365! Er is that good?"
"Ah I probably should have explained that earlier shouldn't I, she actually did quite well and if she was applying to be in the Magical Enforcement Unit she would hold the rank of squad captain."
"So what is the highest you've ever seen?"
"I believe it was some years ago when Seigrain who was really half of Jellal was applying for the position of Wizard Saint, due to all other Saints being occupied we used the MPF to rank him. His score was around 4500 which is actually quite frightening since Seigrain was really only half of Jellal's true power."
"Wow so the level of a Wizard Saint at least one in the higher levels is around 5000 so there you have it folks a guide on how good our competitors will do," Chapati shouted as Hibiki stepped up and got a measly score of 95.
"Heh you wimps should just quit now," Orga said as he stepped up to the MPF. "Lightning God's 120mm Black Lightning Cannon!"
The attack hit the sphere sending black sparks flying in all directions, in the stands Laxus was smirking.
"And Orga from Sabertooth scores an astounding 3825 just look at that power!"
"Oh dear I suppose it's my turn now, we don't have to hold back on this thing do we," Mira asked as the official shook his head. "Oh that's a relief."
"Oh God gramps is gonna have a fit in a second," Natsu sighed as Laxus shook his head.
"To say the least we'll be lucky if the old geezer makes it home."
"What are you guys talking about Mira's Satan Soul isn't that bad," Elise asked confused as the two Dragon Slayers just sighed.
"Just watch this," Natsu said as Elise turned her attention to the stadium.
"Take Over Magic – Satan Soul: Sitri!"
Elise's jaw dropped as the overwhelming magical power flowed out from Mira who was now clad in white and blue armor with a small cloak at the back.
"Sitri … mother told me about her once she was a fearsome Demon back in the wars, to actually see that someone subdued her…"
"We aren't too sure but this is probably Mira's strongest form," Natsu sighed.
"So strong in fact that gramps forbid her from using it unless it was a life or death situation."
Their attention back onto Mira once more as she stepped up to the MPF.
"Ah it's good to have a stretch every once and awhile …."
"Stop trying to freak out gramps and hit the damn thing already," Natsu shouted as Mira was in his face in seconds.
"Oh come now Natsu I was only-." Mira's eyes widened slightly as she gave Natsu a look over. "There is something different about you from last time …"
"I'm guessing Mira gave you control for the moment so I'm gonna request you say nothing Sitri," Natsu said as Sitri's forehead made contact with his own.
"Was that an order, request or … threat, please say threat I need a good workout?"
"I'll fight you after the games but you have to not say anything about what you know not even to Mira."
"I see … power kept under wraps eh, fine I'll play along but you'd better fight me Natsu. Now then let's see I believe there was a certain MPF I was supposed to hit."
Appearing back in her original spot in the blink of an eye Sitri looked at the sphere and yawned.
"Hardly a workout but it'll do, you humans will want to clear the area," Sitri said as she took to the skies and hovered high in the sky.
"Darkness Inferno Mixer!"
Sending down an attack that covered nearly the entire arena Sitri casually floated back down to the floor with an unamused look on her face.
"You'd better keep that promise Natsu … or else," Sitri said as she disappeared and a cheerful Mira returned.
"Oh my looks like she went a bit overboard oh well," Mira said cheerfully as everyone in the stadium face vaulted.
"Ah … yes … well that was … a thing … anyway her score was, HOLY CRAP MIRAJANE SCORES 12 983 ON THE MPF," Chapati shouted.
"I must say most impressive Mirajane it seems your title of the Demon of Fairy Tail isn't just for show," Jura said sporting a wide grin.
"Oh thank you I do try, I guess it's your turn good luck!"
Jura nodded as he went up to the MPF and clasped his hands together.
"Rumbling Mt Fuji!"
A large explosion went off in the area as everyone was blinded by the giant pillar of light, when it dispersed Jura began walking back to where he was previously standing.
"AND JURA NEEKIS SCORES AN ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING 14 237 ON THE MPF A SCORE BEFITTING THE NUMBER FIVE WIZARD SAINT!"
Everyone was standing there in shock until Yamata stepped up; looking over at his guild he received several nods which he returned.
Everyone felt the ground shake as a large pillar of golden light erupted in the centre where the MPF was.
"Judgement Ray IV – The Midday Sun."
Once the attack ended everyone at this point was no longer in shock and just expected crazy antics from the mages.
"And Yamata scores an impressive 11 652 on the MPF which only Obra from Raven Tail!"
Everyone was expecting some sort of grandiose attack but all that happened was a small monkey like creature jumped out and hit the MPF granting him a score of 4.
"Er well … there you have it folks you now have your scores …."
"Anyway all that aside we have one match to get through before the exhibition match so let's get started, would Alexi from Raven Tail and Laxus from Fairy Tail Team B please proceed to the arena," Chapati said as the two made their way down.
The two made their way down and stood opposite each other whilst Erza and Mira made their way back up.
"So Natsu what was all that about earlier," Erza asked as she leant on Natsu since she was feeling a little tired.
"Just some stuff between me and Sitri nothing to worry about."
"You can tell me you know Natsu?"
"Actually I wouldn't Natsu, whatever you and Sitri spoke about she clearly doesn't want made known she won't even tell me. All she keeps saying is after this thing is over that she wants to fight you using your full power."
"Yeah sounds about right because I definitely wanted to do that after all this was over," Natsu sighed.
"Well as long as its nothing too serious Natsu," Erza said with a small smile as the match began.
From the moment the fight started Natsu could see something was off, his movements were far too plain and predictable for his usual fighting style.
Down in the arena it was a different story, as both Laxus and Alexi traded blows down in the arena it was being watched by the real Laxus and Alexi who began to laugh.
"What is this," Laxus said with his arms crossed.
"Aww come now Laxus after all these years and not a single good word for your dear old dad I'm hurt," Alexi said as he took his helmet off revealing himself as the Master of Raven Tail Ivan Dreyar.
"Should've known you'd pull something like this, out with it what do you want?"
"That's what I like about you Laxus straight to the point as always, observe."
Ivan motioned to the fake battle that was currently going on and Laxus began winning whilst Ivan sported a smirk.
"You see I can give you the win Laxus so that your guild can get ahead in the competition but I'll need some information."
"That depends on what the information is?"
"Oh its nothing big really all I want to know is … where is the location of Fairy Heart?"
"Fairy Heart, look I don't know what you're on about I've never heard of it before."
"Come now Laxus there's no need to play games you and I both know that Makarov would tell you everything even the guild's deepest, darkest secrets. Now I'll ask again where is the location of Fairy Heart?"
"Figures you're after guild secrets well it's not gonna happen, the old me might've listened to you and told you anything you wanted to hear but I'm not like that anymore. What I did to this guild was unforgivable and I'm doing everything in my power to earn their trust again, I'm a mage of Fairy Tail and the day I tell you a guild secret is the day I die!"
"Well that can be arranged for you Laxus, don't you see Makarov is hiding power from all of you and its right under your noses! Think of all the good that could be done if the location of Fairy Heart fell to my hands!"
"All the good yeah right you're nothing but trouble just like gramps always said you were, honestly I don't know why I ever stuck up for you all those years … oh yeah because I was a brat just like you."
Ivan grit his teeth as strange cards began to flow from Ivan and the rest of Raven Tail appeared in the arena.
"If you won't tell me the location willingly then I'll take it by force, you know something Laxus and I'll find out one way or another!"
"Is that so … then come try old man," Laxus said as lightning began to crackle around him.
"Attack Raven Tail!"
The members of Fairy Tail all went and attacked Laxus at once however the moment their strikes were about to connect he was gone in a flash of yellow and in his place was a lightning bolt that struck them.
Laxus was behind the four mages and swiftly defeated them knocking them out in the process, Ivan looked at Laxus speechless.
"You … that can't be right my guild was created to be a perfect counter to Fairy Tail!"
"Oh yeah and who was your contingency plan for Elise, Gildarts or even Natsu? Any one of them could wipe out those losers with practiced ease hell even the little kid could do it after seeing the way she stomped the Twin Dragons. If you thought these clowns were enough then you're in for a world of hurt."
"Those four may have fallen but I'm more than a match for you," Ivan roared as the cards began to increase in speed as Laxus blocked them with little effort.
"Hey old man," Laxus said as he became cloaked in lightning and easily dodged and weaved through the rain of cards. "I may not have a clue of what you're goals are but you're threatening my family, my real family! Anyone comes near them and I'll crush them with my own two hands, Lightning Dragon's Breakdown Fist!"
The moment his fist connected with Ivan's jaw a bolt of lightning shot through the side of his face, the spell that Ivan had been using to keep the fake fight going was lifted as the crowd watched wide eyed as Ivan flew across the arena and hit the wall before another bolt of lightning struck him.
Everyone was stunned but it soon became murmurs as the rest of Raven Tail's guild members were revealed to have been on the field.
"Ivan," Makarov growled.
"Figures gramps' son would try something here good to see Laxus put him in his place," Natsu said with a small smile as many Rune Knights quickly placed barriers around them to prevent them from using their magic.
"Uh I'm not sure what happened there folks but it looks like Raven Tail has cheated by using all of its members to attack Laxus which means they are disqualified!"
"Indeed Chapati but let it be said that Laxus here is the undisputed winner managing to take out all five members one of which was the Guild Master himself, well done young man."
The crowd cheered for Laxus as he walked back to the stands, as Laxus looked over at the Fairy Tail viewing booth he noticed Makarov was giving him a 'we'll talk later' look.
"All right ladies and gentlemen its now officially half way through the games which brings us to our special event which we'll let Lahar explain as our Magic Council representative!"
"Thank you Chapati and let me just say that you are all in for a treat, every now and then when a Wizard Saint has been inactive a test is given by the Magic Council to determine their current level of skill and to see where exactly they scale amongst the Ten. Today will mark the first time a test has been performed in public and it will be performed for Natsu Dragneel of the Fairy Tail guild who up until his disappearance all those years ago was well on his way to reaching the top five. Saint Dragneel please make his way to the centre of the arena."
The crowd was silent as Natsu made his way down and stood in the centre of the arena, he then turned to where the Magic Council and King Toma were seated and kneeled before them.
The crowd remained dead silent as Gran Doma stood up and began to speak.
"Saint Dragneel today you stand before the Magic Council and his highness Toma E. Fiore to once more be tested for the title of Wizard Saint. Let the nation know that it is thanks to the efforts of this man that many crisis's have been averted and the spread of Dark Guilds halted, the man had gone to lengths beyond what was required having personally destroyed two of the three Guild Masters of the Bharam Alliance and even fighting the third on equal footing!"
The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves at such information when Doma continued to speak.
"It is for reasons such as these that the Council still deems you worthy for the title and if recent exploits are to be believed then you have only grown stronger, as such we have decided to hold a trial to see where among the Ten you rank and we will adjust your rank accordingly be it higher, lower or the same! Now for the safety of the crowd we have erected some of the finest magical barriers in Fiore and believe me when I say this they may not be enough, Saint Dragneel your test begins now eyes forward and face your opponent in the name and spirit of Fiore!"
Natsu rose to his feet and stood tall as footsteps could be heard, Natsu wasn't easy to startle however when his opponent arrived he couldn't help but be shocked.
"No way they're making Natsu fight him," Gray said shocked.
"No way this is a joke right that guy's …."
"Laxus just look at him there's no way that's a joke this is real, this feeling in my blood mother told me about it once … this battle will be hard fought even for Natsu," Elise said whilst Erza couldn't even mutter a comment she was almost fainting at her Natsu fighting such a monster.
The rest of Fairy Tail wasn't faring much better, Makarov was pale and looked like he'd died on the spot. Jura who would normally sport a grin was being 100% serious as the man stopped before Natsu.
"A man who survives Achnologia at least three times and fights some of the strongest opponents this country has, oh I just knew I had to fight you Natsu Dragneel. Remember all those years ago I told you this day would come … you're power feels far greater than it was back then I haven't been this excited to fight an opponent in a long time."
"You actually remembered saying that to me huh guess I shouldn't be surprised, this arena won't last if we fight here you know that right?"
"Hmm that's true and I plan on going all out against you … I have an idea. Honourable Council I have a request!"
"Yes what is it?"
"Natsu and I have discussed it and we both concluded that this stadium will not last under our power so we request to fight outside the city is that acceptable?"
"I won't even begin to argue that point the safety of everyone here comes first, very well you have the countryside at your disposal the lacrima vision will be able to keep up so hurry up and get there in the next few minutes," Gran Doma said as the two nodded and disappeared as did the many lacrima vision crystals based around the stadium.
/Outside Crocus Natsu's POV/
Several minutes later the two had stopped in an open plain and stood opposite each other both now sporting small grins.
"Guess the power of a Wizard Saint gets you some pretty big pull with those guys huh?"
"Indeed and you will likely be the same once this battle is over, prepare yourself Natsu."
"Heh at this level what's prep time gonna do," Natsu replied with a grin as the two stopped suppressing their power and the entire area began to shake.
"I've been waiting for this fight Natsu don't disappoint!"
"Wouldn't dream of it after all its not every day you get to have a no holds barred fight like this, I'm all fired up Serena!"
Natsu and God Serena charged each other with blinding speed and clashed creating a small fissure where the two impacted.
"Oh yeah definitely fired up!"
Get hype for the next chapter!
