Lucy: Previously, on Fairy Tail. Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Happy, Carla, Erza, and I went on a mission to take out the dark mages who somehow defeated Erza! Erza of all people! While we were there, we ran into three guild members of a rival guild, White Eclipse….Those three members were Luke, Reve Volver, and Takeru; all annoying. They got in our way and used that as an excuse to insult us! Ugh, I can't stand them! Anyway, after all the mages were defeated, that only left the master. The master must have escaped using the back, so we followed a trail of footsteps left in the snow to follow him…but the tracks suddenly vanished, and we came across a young girl…who's absolutely crazy and attacking us for no reason!

"Gray-san!" Wendy rushed over to Gray, placing her hands over his burnt chest. Her hands emitted a sea green light as the burn slowly started to heal.
"RAAAH!" Natsu wasted no time rushing forward, cocking his arm back and then threw a heavy punch to the girl's cheek, causing her to stumble back. The girl had long black hair, which came down to her waist, sky blue eyes. Her clothing was tattered, a dirty t-shirt torn blue shorts. She was barefoot in the snow, but she didn't have to worry about frostbite due to the fact her own fire melted the snow.
"N-Natsu!" Lucy held herself back, knowing that the girl attacked first. "Be careful…"
"I warned you!" The girl recovered from the hit like it was nothing, then she rushed forward, ducking low; she then threw rapid, no magic punches to Natsu's gut, then finished the combo off with a knee to Natsu's chin. This girl was powerful, as the knee sent Natsu into the air a few fet, but he easily recovered, wiping his chin.
"She's strong…" Natsu thought to himself. But, he also noticed how she seemed worn out already. He smirked, his stomach growing in size as his cheeks puffed out, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" He threw his head forward, opening his mouth as a funnel of fire traveled towards the girl.
"Fire…" The girl's eyes widened as the funnel of flames engulfed her.
"…That was it…?" Luke eyed the flame floating around the area carefully.
"Of course, that girl didn't know what she was getting into!" Lucy smirked over at Luke, hoping she would get under his skin with the fact he lost to Natsu when they fought.
"Gray, are you okay?" Erza asked, extending a hand to help him up.
"I'm fine…Thanks to Wendy," Gray took Erza's hand and stood up.
"I guess that's it-" Natsu, along with everyone else froze. A familiar inhalation sound filled the area. Natsu turned around slowly, his eyes widened. His flames were being CONSUMED! "N-NANI!?" The fire faded, and the girl was rubbing her stomach, sighing contently.
"SHE ATE HIS FLAMES?!" Lucy's eyes widened from pure shock.
Without another word, the girl gave a grin before lunging at Natsu, flames dancing around her body as she threw a three hit combo consisting of two punches and a roundhouse kick. Natsu blocked the two punches, but the kick was a lot faster than he expected so he skidded across the snow from the impact; Natsu wasn't going to let this keep him down, he jumped into the air, holding flames extending from his arms, "Fire Dragon's Wing Slash!" He dove forward, the fire trailing behind his arms in an X formation. The girl let out a yelp as the attack made contact with her, but she landed on the snow with her bare feet.
"What's up with this girl…?" Luke spoke in a sort of surprised voice; so far, she was keeping up with Natsu like it was nothing.
"Kyah!" The fire preformed a series of front flips before leaping into the air, flames surrounding her feet; she spun around, the flames on her feet forming into a drill as she slammed into Natsu's chest, causing him to tumble back across the snow before handspring back up almost immediately, spinning 270 degrees as flames surrounded his foot.
"Talons of the Fire Dragon!" He aimed his leg at the girl's head; she blocked the hit, but she let out a "Tch," as she felt the pain from the attack, and the ground crack from underneath her feet. Red flames formed around her free hand as she swiftly brought send fist upward, connecting with Natsu's chin as he flew into the air once more.
"Natsu!" Happy shouted, biting his fingernails.
"Something's not right about this girl…" Carla muttered, going over the faint images of her vision.
Red magic circles appeared behind Natsu's feet, his body suddenly covered in flames as he lunged forward towards the black haired girl, "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!" He slammed right into the girl, the heavy impact causing her to roll across the snow before sliding to a halt, shaking the impact off. She then rushed forward as Natsu was landing, stopping just before she reached him, then extended her left arm, throwing a series of fast and brutal punches to Natsu's face and torso, the speed and power of the punches caught Natsu off guard as he groaned, backing up to get some space. The girl wasn't letting up however. She grabbed Natsu by his scarf and pulled him over, placing a hand on his stomach.
"Force Palm!" A large flame them blasted Natsu away, creating a small crater where he landed.
As Natsu laid there, he thought, "What's up with these flames…they…they actually hurt…" Just then, he got an idea. He stood up, beckoning the girl to come at him, "Come on, your flames are nothing compared to Igneel's! Gimme all you got, or don't bother continuing this fight!"
"What's he doing…?" Gray raised an eyebrow, then it clicked into his head, "Ah!"
"He's going to eat her flames," Erza smirked. "If she can eat his, then no doubt he can eat hers."
The girl didn't say a word, she merely opened her palm, a sphere of red fire slowly forming. When the ball was about the size of a basketball, she hurled the flame at Natsu, who opened his mouth with joy….but there was a problem. The flame made contact with Natsu…"W-WHAT!?" Natsu graoned from the pain he was experiencing, only one question ringing through everyone's mind, "I CAN'T EAT THESE!?"
"Natsu-san, look out!" Wendy pointed to the sky. The girl had leapt high into the air, tucking in her body.
"AND STAY AWAY!" The girl landed a heavy axe kick to Natsu's head, the impact shaking the ground and caused a minor smoke cloud to form. The girl then turned her attention to the others, glaring hatefully at them.
"N-NATSU!" Lucy covered her mouth, whimpering. When the smoke cleared, Natsu was lying in a crater face down, motionless.
"Holy…." Luke took a step back.
"Natsu…" Happy's eyes started to water.
A few seconds passed before Natsu started moving. He placed his hands on the ground, standing up slowly, "That's it…you think you can hurt my nakama and get away with it…?" Flames AND lightning surrounded Natsu's body as he entered Lightning Flame Mode.
"Natsu-san!" Wendy grinned, knowing that Natsu was serious.
"W-What the…?!" The girl's eyes widened considerably, "W-what is that!?"
"Natsu, please be careful! She's still just a kid!" Lucy pleaded. Natsu was going all out; he always did no matter the opponent. He knew better than to underestimate someone based on their size or age.
Natsu didn't' say a word, he only lunged forward, a lightning and fire infused fist cocked back. With a shout, he then threw the fist forward, striking the girl in the stomach, causing her to bend over. Natsu then cocked his other fist back, throwing it at the girl's face. But, the by this point the girl had already recovered after the first hit, her red flames darkening as she threw her own fist at Natsu's the magical pressure causing a shock wave to boom out into the area, causing the trees to shaking violently.
Wendy shook her left arm slightly, keeping her eyes on the fight. Carla noticed this and turned her head over to Wendy, "Wendy, is everything okay…?"
"Mhm, my arm just started feeling a little numb…probably started to fall asleep, that's all," Wendy nodded.
Natsu and the girl were locked in a stalemate. Every time a punch was thrown, it was countered by the other's fist. The girl ended the statement by ducking one of Natsu's punches, then swung a fierce head butt to Natsu's nose, causing him to stumble back. Natsu growled, leaping into the air with fire in one hand and electricity in the other, "Dazzling Blaze of the Lighting Flame Dragon!" He put his fist together, the two elements merging into one ball of brilliant flames and electricity. He then threw the sphere over at the girl. The girl jumped back, the explosion of the sphere catching her as she skidded back across the bare ground, panting slightly, while Natsu was panting heavier than she was.
"She's…she's keeping up with Natsu in Lighting Flame…?" Lucy asked in worry and amazement.
"No…" Luke replied. His eyes on the fight intently, "She's overpowering him in Lightning Flame…" As he spoke, the girl threw another series of darkened red fire at Natsu's face and chest area, each punch causing Natsu to shout in pain as he stumbled back.
"Come on, Flame Brain!" Gray shouted with his palm in his fist if he felt the need to interfere.
Natsu knew it was all or nothing at this point. He reared his head back, gathering what was left of his magical energy as fire and lighting started to swirl around his mouth. Once he felt what he had was good enough, he threw his head forward, unleashing a large funnel of fire and electricity, "ROAR OF THE LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON!"
As Natsu was gathering his magic energy, the girl was doing the same. Red flames surrounding her mouth until she threw her head forward, unleashing a funnel of red fire," Roar of the Omega Flame Dragon!"
"Did she say dragon!?" Wendy, along with Lucy, gasped from surprise. The two roars collided with each other head on; the sheer power of the roars causing a large explosion. The force was so strong the trees fell over with little trouble, and a large smoke cloud filled the formerly snowy clearing. Silence filled the area as the smoke cleared. To everyone's surprise, Natsu on his feet still, noticable injuries on his body, as the girl was still standing. The tension then filled the area as the girl took one step forward…before passing out face down on the ground.
"Natsu!" Lucy rushed over to Natsu, supporting him as he stood up, "A-Are you okay?!"
"I-I'm fine…" Natsu flashed a smile, then turned his attention over to the girl, "There's something off about this girl…" Her flames hurt, she had far more power than her little body suggested, and...
"Are you just going to leave her there?" Luke asked, walking over to them.
"Of course not!" Wendy objected the idea, walking over to the girl and hoisting her over the shoulder, "We're going to take her back to Fairy Tail and see if we can help her!"
"We're doing what now?" Gray looked down at Wendy with a puzzled expression.
"She needs help…didn't you see the fear and nervousness on her face? She wouldn't have attacked unless she felt threatened…" Wendy stated, looking at the girl with a look of sympathy, "Please, Erza-san…?"
Erza sighed, "Alright, we'll take her back to Fairy Tail and see what happens then…"
"Yes, thank you!" Wendy jumped for joy, while Carla just eyed the unconscious girl.
"Hm, alright then…See you later, Fairies," Luke smirked, giving Lucy a taunting pat on the head before walking up the mountain. Lucy WAS going to tackle the mage, but she was held back by Gray and Happy.
"Ooooh…I'll get him one day I swear…" Lucy grumbled.
