Natsu VS Cobra
Natsu turned around to look behind him to see if Cobra was following. He is right behind him, but that is not what caught his attention. What he is seeing is that the purple and white snake has red wings coming out of her back. That explains just how Cobra was following him when he is in the air using Happy's wings, but where did the wings on the snake come from?
Natsu has Happy spin around and head straight for Cobra. He lit up both of his fists, pointed them behind him, and used the flames as boosters to make them go faster. Just as he is a few feet away, Natsu stopped the boosters and brought his right fist around in an attempt to plant it into Cobra's face. Unfortunately for Natsu, Cubellios used her tail to hit him on the head and send him down.
Happy recovered and brought them both back up to level with Cobra and Cubellios.
"Are you alright, Natsu?" he asked while Natsu shook his head to get rid of the light-headed sensation.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I wasn't expecting that," Natsu said in reply. 'Although… I guess I should have seen that coming.' He scowled in thought, before having Happy go forward again.
"AY SIR!" Happy cried out while dashing over to Cobra again.
Natsu tried to use Fire Dragon's Iron Fist on his opponent for a second time, but like last time the snake stopped him. The difference about this time and the last is that Happy dodged out of the way of the tail swipe. Natsu used this to shoot fire out of his hands like he did for the boosters earlier, but he didn't use this to make him go faster; he did this to try and burn Cobra along with his snake.
Cobra and Cubellios flew out of the way of the jets of fire. Now that they are above Natsu and Happy, Cobra says mockingly, "I can hear all of your moves before you even make them."
Natsu growled in frustration, and without thinking he kicked Cobra in the side. The red-haired man almost fell off his friend, but Cubellios caught him with her tail, and tossed him back up onto her back.
Natsu didn't see the look of shock on Cobra's face, nor does he have his hearing. If he did, he would have heard Cobra saying that there was no thought going through Natsu's head for him to hear what the next attack was going to be. This didn't matter to Natsu, however. Now that his mind has cleared up again, he covers his whole body in flames and soaring forward with his head going first while shouting, "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"
Cobra sighed in relief that he could hear Natsu's thoughts again – believing that last time was just a fluke. Instead of having Cubellios attack, Cobra himself waited for Natsu to be right on top of him before striking out with a round-house kick to the pink-haired dragon slayer's head.
Natsu was sent flying through the air at high-speeds, only to crash into one of the building of Nirvana. Happy didn't allow him to stay there for long and let the sickness to take him over. The blue cat shot out of the building, and Natsu inhaled deeply.
"Fire Dragon's ROOOAAR!" The column of fire soared through the air – heading right for Cobra. Cobra dodged the attack and waited for Natsu to come up from his left. Once he was there, the red-head had Cubellios strike at him in an effort to bite and poison him.
Luckily for Natsu, Happy was fast enough to dive out of the way of the fangs. Natsu noticed that the fangs almost got his little buddy's tail, which angered him greatly. Natsu put his two flaming hands together and created a huge fire ball. He lifted this ball high above his head and threw it with all his might at his enemy, who narrowly dodged the attack, but he didn't get out of it unscathed – the heat of the attack still got his arm, and the flames still hit in full on Cubellios' tail.
Natsu grinned at the result of his attack, but he didn't have time to enjoy this small victory. He had to attack again before Cobra recovered. Happy flies as quickly as he could over to Cobra and Cubellios. Natsu goes for a Fire Dragon's Claw. His leg comes down for Cobra's head, but Natsu gets a shock at what happens right before the heel of his foot could land. Cobra caught his foot with a clawed, purple-scaled hand.
Due to Natsu's stunned realization as well as his foot being in the hand of the enemy, he was unable to get Happy to pull him away. Cobra pulls Natsu closer and implants his other scaled fist to the fire dragon slayer's face. He let go of Natsu and allowed the momentum to carry him away. After a second has gone by, Cobra sets his arms behind him and then thrust them forward while his hands are covered in blood colored poison.
"Poison Dragon's Twin Fang!" The two sets of poison go straight for Natsu. He and Happy tried to dodge, but it was no use, the attack still hit him. He was just glad that it did not hit Happy. The two recovered from the attack, and now Natsu wants to know how Cobra was a dragon slayer. Was he like him, or like Laxus?
Natsu had to snap out of his musing, because he didn't have time to think about what kind of dragon slayer Cobra is. The poison dragon slayer attacks again by having Cubellios fly closer at great speeds so he can swipe his claw hands at Natsu, but the fire dragon slayer was able to dodge this attack.
Natsu uses fire dragon's wing attack at Cobra and his snake, but it missed. Just as Natsu was getting ready to attack again, Cobra was already on him and kicking him in the gut followed by a poison dragon's sharp horn. After Natsu got hit in the face by the poison covered fist, he was sent backwards, but neither he nor Happy fell to the ground below.
Lighting up both hands, Natsu placed them together to create another fire ball. "Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" The ball of fire was thrown forward, but it sadly missed its mark again, instead it hit a building, causing it to explode. Cobra was right behind him and he used poison dragon's Spiral Jaw, hitting its target, followed by poison dragon's scales. Natsu had to rely on Happy's speed to dodge most of the scale-shaped poison. Some of them hit, but most did not.
"Cubellios, I think it's time for you to breath out some of your poison," Natsu heard Cobra say to his snake. He watched as the purple and white snake breath out the some colored poison as her master. With there now being a cloud of poison, Natsu is unable to get close, but the deadly mist wasn't there for long. Cobra inhaled the poison like how Natsu does with fire. Natsu became a little worried since he knows what that means, but he's also disappointed; he wants to eat some fire right about now. Where is Fawkes or Harry when he needs them?
After Cobra finished eating the poison, he let it settle for a moment before yelling out, "Poison Dragon's Roar!" Natsu was unable to dodge this attack as well as hold his breath. Happy was just as unlucky as Natsu since they both inhaled the poison, making them become effected by it.
The fire dragon slayer and the blue flying cat are now both feeling under the weather, but they are willing to keep fighting. Cobra laughed at the two of them, which only made Natsu angry, but before he could attack the red-haired man he is stopped.
"It seems that the 'new style' is better after all," said Cobra, confusing Natsu. "You see, Salamander, the old style is what you use since you got your powers through being trained by a dragon, but the new style is through a lacrima implant. The new style is the true dragon slayer magic since the dragons have been dead for over 500 years!"
"Shut up!" Natsu shouted in rage. "Igneel is not dead! He is alive and I will find him!"
Cobra just laughed again, but this time harder. "Find him? You will never find something that is long dead!"
Natsu felt a vein throb in his forehead in his anger. He charges at Cobra again with a fire dragon's iron fist, but he missed the still laughing Cobra. The pink-haired teen gritted his teeth with a growl. He turns his eyes to look at Happy. When the two made eye contact, Natsu says, "Let me go. I'm going to roar."
Happy's face shows that he is worried about this plan, but flies over Cobra and drops Natsu either way. Cobra smirks, hearing Natsu's plan to use fire dragon's roar. He grabs Natsu by the head and jumps off Cubellios so he can smash the pink-haired dragon slayer's skull into the ground 10 meters below them.
As they fall, Natsu grins weakly before using all of his might to let out the loudest roar his lungs can produce. The roar itself sounded like it came from a true dragon, right into Cobra's inhuman ears.
Cobra yelled in pain, feeling like the loud noise was a big needle stabbing into his skull through his ear and straight for his brain only to then inject acid. He let go of the fire dragon slayer, but the two continue to fall; now only being one meter away from the ground.
Harry stopped in midair with his eye wide. He hears what sounds like a roar from – he guesses – a dragon. He looks around only to still see no one, only buildings. He wonders who it is that is roaring.
'Could it be Natsu?' Harry thought with his eyes narrowing. He was snapped out of his musing when he heard a pained trill. The black-haired Wizard looks down at Fawkes, who is on his broom, covering his ears with his wings. "Hey Fawkes, are you okay?"
Fawkes clicked his beak before answering, {Natsu's roar is too loud.} The phoenix lowers his wings. Harry was about to question why he did that when he just told him that the roar was painful, but then he realized that air has gone silent.
"So that was Natsu," Harry muttered, followed by nothing for a few seconds. "Let's go. We still need to find Erza and Jellal." Fawkes nods his head and takes off in a direction with Harry following closely behind.
Natsu is on the ground feeling worse than ever. He was sure it wasn't the poison, because that didn't make his stomach feel queasy, but the moving ground underneath him can. He could admit that it was a mix of the two odds, but he only felt like he had a fever with the poison.
From next to him was the sound of movement. Natsu cracked an eye open to see Cobra hovering over him.
"That was a dirty trick…" said Cobra while panting, "but now you can't even move. This will make killing you easy." Cobra lifted his hand to ready himself to cover it in blood. Natsu didn't take his eyes off the red-haired man, but he gritted his teeth in anger at himself for not having the strength to move.
Just before Cobra could bring his hand down, some kind of magic slammed into his back. The blast was too powerful for the poison dragon slayer to handle, and so he fell over and hit the ground face first.
Natsu looks over to see who attacked Cobra, only for shock to fill him. Standing not that far away from them is Brain. Rage soon replaced the feeling of shock at the leader of the Oracion Seis. He may not have the power to move due to the poison and the motion sickness, but he did have enough energy to yell, "Why would you attack your own comrade?!"
Brain just scuffed, not showing any other signs that he heard. It was enough for the pink-haired dragon slayer to understand that the man just didn't care what he just did to Cobra.
"You are a strong one. I think turning you into my puppet with the help of Nirvana is in order," Brain said with a smirk. "Having someone like you on my side would make my plans easier. Just think: how would your little friends react when they see they would have to fight their friend just to get to me?" Brain grabs hold of the back of Natsu's vest and start to pull him away from the scene. "Let us go. You will be a powerful addition to the Oracion Seis."
TBC
…I'm not sure about the ending there. I tried to remember what Brain says around here, but I couldn't. So I just made him sound insane – which he is.
I almost made Cobra's poison work like venom. I forgot how Natsu was poisoned, but then I read the wiki, it explained how. Natsu had to inhale the poison to be effected by it. Other than that, I hope you all enjoyed the fight. I decided to wing it instead of copying the real fight.
Natsu: I KICKED HIS BUTT! XD
Harry: *eye roll* Of course you did.
Zeref: You've been kidnapped right after, though.
Natsu: I need to get away! Enjali, how am I getting out of this?! D=
Enj/Dark: The same way as in the manga.
Voldy: Like how the rest of this story has been. -_-
Enj/Dark: *evil grin* Hey Tommy, it's your turn.
Voldy: O_O… Curses! Pl…Plea…Please review! XC
Natsu: *whispers to Harry & Zeref* That sounded like it hurt.
Harry & Zeref: *nods their heads in agreement*
