Couldn't keep you guys waiting for long, seeing as I didn't show any Natsu vs. Nashi.
Enjoy!
The temperature in the chamber was unlivable to anyone who wasn't either of the people currently in the chamber. That, of course, being Nashi and her father. Both of them stood across from each other, their combined magic power making the entire mountain range tremble. Nashi knew there was next to no way she was winning this, but not trying wasn't an fun.
"It's almost warm in here." her father commented. "Shall we continue, Nashi?"
"Sure, let's go!" Nashi ran at her father and attacked quickly, but all of her punches and kicks were easily deflected. Her father sighed.
"If this is all you got," He told her, grabbing her arm. "Maybe you are a disappointment!" Nashi growled as she used the momentum from his grab to kick him in the back of the head. Following up with grabbing him by his vest and flinging him across the room, Nashi got a face full of fire. She ate it quickly, only to find her father back at her throat. He landed so many consecutive hits Nashi wasn't even sure where he was hitting her, the pain was delayed. A hard punch right to the face sent her flying, embedding her in the wall. Crawling out just in time to evade another punch, Nashi could only retreat as her father went on a heavy offensive. Finally managing to scramble to her feet, she once again found herself opposite him.
"Shit, calm down." She managed through panting.
"It's hopeless." he informed her. "I've got years on you, and I know your style inside and out. Give it up."
"Who was it that told me never give up?" She asked with a defiant grin, watching him chuckle. "Like hell I'm giving up, not until I can't get up."
"Than prepare to get thrown to the dirt." The speed in which he threw himself at Nashi was unforeseen, and she was thrown away once again. He was always one step ahead on her, no matter what she tried to do. Landing hard and dodging to the left, Nashi was hit by the debris from the explosion that followed her fathers attack. Before she landed, she was engulfed in fire. Smiling to herself, she opened her mouth and began to absorb the power from it, feeling adrenaline flow through her veins. Once it all disappeared, her father clicked his tongue. "Should have seen that coming."
"You really should have." She said. Nashi didn't know why, but she was having fun. This was supposed to be more serious, but she could tell her father was also having fun. Flying at each other again, the boost from the flames allowed Nashi to fight him off, actually landing a few hits herself. He laughed.
"I want you to know," he informed her as they locked hands and butted foreheads. "I'm only applying, maybe, 50% of what I'm really capably of." This news made Nashi's stomach turn, but she grinned back.
"Why not 100?" She asked, feeling her father increase the weight he was pouring into his arms, and fell to one knee. "Scared it won't be enough?" He laughed darkly.
"No." he said. "I'm afraid our new kid won't have a big sister." He was afraid of killing her? Seemed logical. Nashi was about to lose their pushing contest before she allowed her arms to fail completely, giving her enough time to roll out of the way of her father, who face planted where she had just been. She used this spare time to attack, which didn't do much. Her father recovered quickly and blocked the majority of the attacks, once again sending her away.
The whole guild had their eyes glued to the screen during the fight, no one dared look away for even a second. Lucy would have smiled as Nashi was actually able to fight Natsu off, but she could tell her husband was doing all he could.
"He's not trying." Gray pointed out, a frown on his face. "She'd have lost already if he was."
"I agree." Gajeel muttered. "Salamander's not going all out."
"Does he have any reason to?" Levy asked. "I mean, I know it's for S-Class and all, but Natsu going all out isn't fair means for a trial to be a king of Ishval." Lucy nodded her head in agreement, as she knew that was true. If Natsu really did go all out...She shuddered at the memories. There was a reason Natsu disappeared for so long, and that was it. But he wouldn't dare...would he? Especially with Nashi...
"He wouldn't." Lucy reassured. "He may be a blockhead, but not even Natsu is stupid enough to do that again, against his own daughter no less..."
"You never know." Gajeel said quietly. "He is really stupid sometimes."
"But who's know what that would do to Nashi..." Levy said quietly. This caused the adults to go dead silent, all pondering what that meant.
"You think she'd awaken?" Gray finally asked, voicing their fears in a whisper.
"Maybe so, maybe not." Levy replied. "Let's all hope her...you know, human half can keep it in check."
"People can hear you." Lucy hissed. "Stop talking about it!" No one spoke anymore, and kept watching the battle.
Don't do anything stupid Natsu...It isn't worth awakening that thing...
Nashi coughed violently as she struggled to stand, her father watching without a hint of remorse.
"Just quit." he said. "I'm not found of beating my own daughter."
"No." She said. "I'm going to pass this idiotic test, even if I nearly kill myself!" the two observed each other for a minute, and he sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Nashi, you're just as bad as me, so allow me to give you some fatherly wisdom.." She nodded, so he continued. "Just because you can keep getting up doesn't mean a damn thing. This is one battle you will not win. I will not, and cannot, lose to you. It isn't possible."
"Coming from you!" Nashi spat. "You are the last person who can talk like that! Every single story is all about you getting up at the last minute and destroying something!"
"Nashi," he spoke, a tone he'd never used with her before. "You and I are on completely different levels. If I were to go all out, and I mean all out, I'd kill you with a flick of my finger."
"Oh yeah?!"
"Yeah"
"Then come and get me!" He raised an eyebrow in confusion as Nashi raised her arms out. "Come on! You want to teach me a lesson, Daddy?! Attack me with all you've got!" Nashi knew she was testing her luck, but she hated being spoken down too like this. He rolled his eyes.
"You really want a taste of what I'm capable of?" She nodded, and he sighed once more. "I'm not to be held accountable for this, got it?" Before anything could happen, Nashi could smell ozone. Spending so long around Gramps and the like, she knew what this smell entailed. Before she could do anything, lightning crackled around her father's form, merging with the flames that did so as well. Nashi gulped.
"T-the Lightning-Fire Dragon..." She whispered. Now she was in for it. Well, she had asked for it. A stray bolt of lightning flew past her head and obliterated the wall behind her.
"Are you sure you want to play this so confidently?" Her father asked from the mixture of lightning and fire. "I won't hesitate." Nashi was about to say something when a different idea went through her head. Concentrating, she felt pain flow through her entire being.
"I'm game." She replied, the black flames of Katsuchi the Fire God Slayer wrapping around her figure. Although she could entire Fire Dragon-God mode whenever she wanted to, it caused her a great deal of pain to do so. Most likely due to the God flames not being compatible with her body. "Who's stronger? The Lightning-Fire Dragon or the Fire Dragon-God?" She grinned at her father, who rolled his eyes, an almost playful smirk on his face.
"You really like testing my patience, don't you?" he demanded, earning a nod. "Alright, let's find out!" The first thing Nashi realized as she attacked was her father winced from the heat. Due to not coming into contact with it a lot, he was more susceptible to the black flame.
"Fire Dragon-God Brilliant Flame!"
"Lightning-Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!" Fire clashed against fire, lightning against the black fire. The balls of pure magic exploded in the center of the chamber, throwing both of them back a little bit. Once the smoke cleared, neither looked very effected by it at all. Nashi smiled.
"That mode sure is something." She complimented, ignoring the pain in her gut.
"As is yours, albeit much less practiced then it should be."
"How so?" Nashi demanded, the fire flickering in response to her anger.
"You're in a great deal of internal pain, no?"
"Why would she be in pain?" Lucy asked.
"God Slaying and Dragon Slaying are completely different tiers of magic." Levy explained. "Dragons are lesser beings than Gods, so it takes less to kill them. A Dragon Slayer utilizing a higher tier slaying magic would be incredibly painful."
"So she's digging herself a bigger hole." Gajeel said bluntly.
"With more practice, you wouldn't be in so much pain." he explained. "But it doesn't matter, you're just helping me win." Nashi responded by propelling herself forward and slamming a black fire coated fist his chest, causing him to wince. He attempted to kick her away, but Nashi grabbed his leg and flipped him unto his back, blasting him with more black fire. Managing to distance himself, Nashi took a heavy breath as he did so.
"Bellowing Roar of the Fire-Dragon God!" The black and red attack flew towards Nashi's father, and he raised his arms to block it. This resulted in a huge explosion, blinding Nashi. As the smoke faded away, her father still stood, almost untouched.
"I told you." he said, straightening from the defensive stance. "Fire doesn't work on people like us." Nashi grinned like a madman.
"Are you sure, Dad?" She asked, getting a raised eyebrow.
"Of course I'm sure, why?" Nashi simply pointed to her chest, in reference to the same area on her father. He slowly looked down, and gasped.
There, right in the center of his chest, like a branding, was a burn mark, still smoking.
"Impossible!" He shouted angrily. "I can't get burned!"
"You just did." Nashi replied with a grin on her face. "Told you I stood a chance!" She burst into laughter, at her fathers expense. She stopped when she heard the crackling of the lightning. "Uh...Dad?" Looking over at him, the fire and lightning was circling him violently, which made her pale.
"Lightning-Fire Dragon..." Nashi nearly fainted at the words, as her father inhaled deeply. "ROAR!"
There was no time to get out of the way, in came to fast. Nashi took the full force of the explosion head on, and it detonated against, causing everything to go a bright white, then dark.
Simon watched Drake stiffen, which confused him. Sure, their chamber was shaking violently, but it was no reason to worry.
"Something the matter, Drake?" he asked. Drake paled.
"Hit the dirt!" he shouted, tackling Simon to the ground. Before Simon could ask, fire and lightning tore through the wall and right through the other side, not stopping for anything in it's path.
"W-What the hell is that?" He asked weakly, watching the attack continue through the rest of the mountain.
"Don't know." Drake replied weakly. "But I feel sorry for whatever sap got caught in that.
Natsu stood and waited for the debris to stood falling and the smoke to fade away, and when it did, he observed the area where Nashi had been standing.
Key word had been, she was gone.
"Nashi?" He called, fear rising to his chest. "...Nashi? Sweetheart?" No one called out to him. No w he was beginning to panic. He hadn't meant to go so overboard and possibly seriously hurt her, but sometimes he lost himself in the moment. "This is what you get for taunting me, you idiot..." Just as Natsu was about to go and see if he could dig her out of the rubble, it shifted. He sighed in relief. "Thank Mavis, I thought I..." jut as he was about to finish his sentence, the rubble was flung away, revealing his daughter standing there. However, Natsu noticed something odd.
Mainly, the shining golden key in her hand.
"Open, Gate of the Lion! Loke!"
