CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: NATSU VS. THE TWIN DRAGONS
"Go, Natsu!" Happy cheered and the rest of Fairy Tail did the same.
"Gray-sama! You're wonderful!" Juvia cheered.
"Although Natsu is the one who's fighting..." Mira told her sheepishly.
"Rogue..." Frosch muttered.
"Sting-kun! The fight's just getting started!" Lector encouraged.
Everyone in the audience began cheering. In the audience, a tear fell from a hooded figure's eye, dropping to the ground and causing Jellal to turn around in alarm.
"This is..." Jellal thinks to himself. "Him?"
"It feels like Zeref, but it's different somehow." Ultear pointed out.
"He's in the stadium again, isn't he?" Meredy questioned.
Jellal took off running. 'Jellal, don't let him get away this time!' Ultear spoke telepathically.
'I know! I'm concerned about the match, but right now...' Jellal trailed off.
"You can take us on by yourself? You're just messin' with us..." Sting said.
Sting and Rogue soon re-activated Dragon Force. "Dragon Force is the power of a dragon. There's nothing more powerful in this world!" Sting exclaimed as he charged forward, but Natsu was quick to counter it.
"Maybe your power's half-baked..." Natsu said as red electricity surrounded him.
"My power is complete! This is the power I used to kill Weisslogia!" Sting exclaimed.
"I see. Then I'll use my power..." Natsu paused as he got covered in blue flames. "...to fight for my friends who were laughed at."
Natsu soon struck a fist covered in blue flames towards Sting's face as Rogue appeared behind him. "Look out, Natsu!" Jet warned.
"Behind you!" Droy called out.
"Shadow Dragon's Roar!" Rogue shouted, releasing a blast of black shadows.
Natsu turned around. "Fire Dragon's Roar!" He called out, cancelling out Rogue's attack as it hit him, causing an explosion.
"That was nothing!" Sting claimed, charging forward once more.
"Frosch... I... I can still fight!" Rogue declared.
Natsu raised his hand as he grinned. "Bring it on." He challenged as Sting and Rogue charged forward once more.
"Yeesh. That guy..." Gray commented. "Look at that gleeful mug..."
"Those two definitely aren't weak, but Natsu responds to stronger opponents by becoming more powerful than he already is." Erza stated as they watched Natsu continue to fight Sting and Rogue.
"His opponents are tough, too. They don't give up. Very impressive." Makarov complimented.
"Both sides are quite something." Mavis added as Natsu released a fireball.
"Marvelous..." Jura said.
"I'd forgotten. That guy's a blockhead, but when it comes to fighting, his mind is a steel trap." Lyon claimed.
"I can see why Seb gave his power to Natsu. He seemed to trust him enough." Orion commented as Sting and Rogue appeared from the flames and Natsu continued fighting them off.
"Wonderful parfum, Natsu-kun..." Ichiya commented.
"Damn, how strong is that guy?" Ren wondered out loud.
Natsu soon sent a punch towards Sting's face. "H-He's strong..." Lily stuttered.
"That's Natsu!" Happy claimed.
Natsu punched both Sting and Rogue.
Sting sent a white beam towards Natsu who dodged it and sent a blast of fire right back at him, hitting Sting as he was sent flying.
"Hey, is this for real?!" Orga asked.
"I have no memory of seeing the power of the Dragon Force losing ground like this." Rufus said.
"Power, eh?" Minerva questioned more to herself as the fight between the three Dragon Slayers resumed.
Lector was looking at the Lacrima screen with tears flowing from his eyes. "Sting-kun!" Lector thinks to himself. A memory of when he first met Sting played in his mind.
"Sting-kun..." Lector sniffed.
"Sting!" Rogue shouted, summoning a ball of shadows.
"Yeah!" Sting agreed, summoning a ball of holy light right after.
"This feeling... The quality of the magic has changed again." Juvia pointed out.
"The magic of those two have begun to merge." Mira said.
"In the end, I wasn't able to get strong, but I love watching strong Sting-kun!" Lector thought.
"Unison Raid!" Makarov exclaimed.
"Their will, breathing, and magic have combined perfectly into one power. But..." Mavis trailed off.
"Natsu! Dodge!" Happy called out.
"Rogue, hang in there!" Frosch said.
"Sting-kun... Sting-kun, you're the strongest!" Lector exclaimed.
"There are walls the power alone can't break through..." Mavis thinks to herself.
"Yajima-san, what the heck is that?!" Chapati questioned.
"Unison Raid. It's a so-called Uniting Magic. It's high level magic that in general can't be mastered even if you devote your whole life to it." Yajima explained.
"This is the power of the Twin Dragons... However..." Minerva trailed off.
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Fang Flash!" Sting and Rogue shouted in unison, thrusting their attack forward as it headed straight towards Natsu.
"He's not moving! He intends to take it?!" Lily questioned as Happy looked worried.
An explosion was then heard.
"It's Fiore's strongest guild, Sabertooth, vs. the second strongest guild, Black Sun, and the strongest guild seven years ago, Fairy Tail! And taking the challenge of this tag battle are four dragons!" Chapati exclaimed.
"Although one of them is out of commission." Yajima reminded.
"Currently, below the arena, Natsu and the Twin Dragons are locked in fierce battle!" Chapati said.
Everyone in Fairy Tail placed their thumb and index finger up in the air. "There are walls that can't be broken through power alone. But if there is a power that can break through those walls, it's..." Mavis thought.
"Holy Shadow Dragon's Fang Flash!" Sting and Rogue shouted in unison, thrusting their attack forward as it headed straight towards Natsu.
"...the power of feelings!"
Natsu leaned back as blue flames appeared from his hand. "New Secret Dragon Slayer Art!" He called out. "Cool Fire: Hellstorm!"
The massive wave of blue flames eventually overpowered the Unison Raid and engulfed Sting and Rogue, causing an explosion.
"Oh, my! It looks like the mega-moves of both sides ended the match... It's like an earthquake here! Apparently, the live feed lacrima is experiencing technical difficulties, so please sit tight a little longer!" Chapati announced.
Finally, the lacrima screens turned back on. "Oh, my! Thank you for your patience! It seems Lacrima-Vision is back up!" Chapati said.
Rogue stumbled back. "Natsu Dragneel... Your power is... immeasurable..." He thinks to himself, falling forward.
Sting fell to his knees. "Lector... He's too strong... Natsu-san..." He thought.
Sting and Rogue both collapsed to the ground in sync. "Th-This is... The last one standing is Natsu Dragneel!" Chapati announced.
"A guild is a place where that nurtures feelings." Mavis noted.
The gong soon rang out as Natsu cheered in victory. "It's Fairy Tail! He broke the Twin Dragons! The winner is Fairy Tail! With this, they've leaped to first place! And this brings an end to the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games! After one day off, we'll be back the day after tomorrow with the final battle! The last day... will feature a survival battle, with all of the members participating! Which guild will achieve victory in the end?! Don't anyone miss it!" Chapati exclaimed.
The scoreboard showed Fairy Tail taking the first place spot, leaving Black Sun in second and Sabertooth in third.
"I figured it would turn out like this!" Bob exclaimed.
"That's what I expected, I guess I should say..." Goldmine said.
"Our goal for the final day has changed!" Obaba said, spinning her finger around.
Makarov grinned. "Bring it!" He challenged.
"Defeat Fairy Tail!"
"You're mine, Gray!" Lyon claimed.
"Laxus... Makarov-dono's grandchild..." Jura said.
"Erza..." Kagura muttered.
"Gajeel..." Ren stated.
"Let's have some fun, Natsu-kun..." Ichiya said.
Meanwhile, Lector was sobbing. "Lector..." Frosch mumbled before she started tearing up as well.
"I can't believe those two lost..." Orga commented.
Rufus chuckled. "It was an interesting match. I've thoroughly memorized it." He said.
"This'll keep us in the spotlight for a while." Orga grinned.
"'For a while'... If they have a while..." Minerva informed.
"Th-That guy..."
Jiemma was seething, having a dark aura around him and scaring the nearby spectators.
"Saber's master!"
Minerva was walking in the tunnels before she stopped and turned. "The power of feelings, eh?" She noted.
"Go ahead. I'll give this match to you. After this one, we're gonna keep winning anyway. We're not gonna miss one or two points."
"Don't cry about that one point later, kid!"
Sting clenched his fist as he recalled what Gajeel had said during the Chariot event. Natsu walked forward, stopping in front of them as he grinned.
"Let's fight again sometime!" He exclaimed.
Natsu hummed before walking over to Sebastian, helping him up. "You alright there?" He asked.
"I will be." Sebastian replied.
The two of them soon met up with both of their guilds. "Seb, you idiot!" Orion shouted, smacking Sebastian in the head.
"Ouch! Watch it! My body is still recovering!"
Massorao sighed to himself as he rubbed his temples. "Speaking of which, why did you give your magic power to Natsu?" Gray asked.
"I've been wondering the same thing. But those blue flames are totally awesome!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Those blue flames are called 'cool fire' - basically flames that are hotter than your average flame. Atlas mentioned it to me that it happens when his and Igneel's flames were conjoined. I guess he really wasn't pulling my leg." Sebastian said.
"Still, watching you fight, you're an incredible wizard." Erza complimented.
"Agreed! When this tournament is over, you and I are gonna fight!" Natsu added.
Sebastian chuckled. "You got yourself a deal, Natsu."
Jellal, what's happening?' Ultear asked.
'Don't tell me he got away again?' Meredy questioned.
'No, I put some distance between us, and I'm on his trail. I'm thinking I'll make my move where there aren't any other people around.' Jellal replied.
'Roger.'
"You're not getting away this time... You possess magic similar to Zeref's... Who the hell are you?!" Jellal wondered.
Jellal continued to follow the hooded figure from a distance.
That day, we believed in victory. The final day was a really hard-fought battle.
Do you remember it, Lu-chan?
And then... July 7th. We lost... to fate.
That person died... That one, too... Even though I loved...
Future Levy was shown to be writing a letter as tears fell from her eyes.
I can't express in words... Lu-chan... I can't take it anymore... Somebody help me!
The hooded figure finally stopped above the steps, getting a good view of the moon.
"Halt!" Jellal called out, making the figure pause as Jellal took off his mask. "I'm revealing my identity. Now you reveal yours."
A gust of wind blew through their cloaks as Jellal looked down, seeing the person was wearing sandals. "A woman..." He noted as the wind stopped.
The figure turned around slowly, facing Jellal. He widened his eyes upon seeing who the person was.
"It can't be..."
A/N: Yes, Future Lucy will actually be in this story unlike the other two SYOC guild stories that I have.
Thanks for reading!
