Natsu & Gajeel VS Sting & Rogue - part 3

Harry, along with the rest of his guild didn't want to believe that Natsu and Gajeel were out of the fight yet. If the green-eyed wizard knew Natsu, which he did, then the dragon slayer was just resting for a moment. 'If he's not out of this fight yet, then he better get up soon,' Harry prayed and tried to will Natsu and Gajeel to stand back up. His jaw clenched together as he never took his eyes away from the screen in his concentration.

"Get up, you guys! This fight isn't over yet!" Harry heard Romeo shout, his voice ringing around the stadium.

"Come on! Quit sleeping and get up, you two! You can't let them win!" Gray called out as well.

Rogue finally appeared and approached his fellow dragon slayer. Sting apologized for taking Gajeel out since the iron dragon slayer wasn't his to deal with. But just as the two were about to claim their full victory Natsu moved.

"Not so fast." Harry let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he saw Natsu begin to stand back up. Both Sting and Rogue froze for a second, and then snapped their attention back to the formally down dragon slayers. Natsu and Gajeel stood, and they looked like they were ready for round three.

"They got up!" Castor called out, and soon after, the whole arena was loud with cheers.

"I knew they would!" Happy agreed.

{I wasn't worried at all,} said Fawkes, but Harry gave him a said-ways glance.

{Really, then why did I feel your claws dig into my shoulder?} he questioned seriously.

Fawkes didn't say anything in reply, causing Harry to smirk in victory. He returned his attention back to the four slayers, only to chuckle shortly after. Natsu and Gajeel were rubbing their heads and cracking their necks in pain. He even heard them say that they were going to be feeling these kinds of pain for a week.

'Yeah, but I bet it will be worth it, though, right?' Harry thought lightly.

"We're not out of the woods yet," said Natsu. "Nice try, but we now know all your tricks." His words caused disbelief to shroud the twin dragons of Sabertooth's faces. Natsu kept on talking, mentioning how he knew how fast Sting moved to the rhythm of his breaths.

{That's not creepy or anything...} commented Fawkes.

{That's Natsu for you,} replied Harry.

They exchanged a few words, not many because Natsu and Gajeel started to argue. Harry couldn't help but smirk. He knew what was coming. He didn't need to be a seer to see it.

Their argument evolved into a fistfight. 'That won't last long,' thought Harry as he leaned in for a closer look with stars in his eyes.

"That's embarrassing," said Gray. "They are bickering like children."

"You're one to talk, Gray. How many times have you and Natsu fought like that?"

Harry turned to catch Gray's expression of defeat. "Yeah, but we don't do it in front of a whole crowd like this."

Harry thought about Gray's words. Did he ever catch Gray and Natsu arguing in front of a crowd like this? He knew that they fought at the train station, but that was about it. 'Huh, I guess it's true that they don't bicker in front of a lot of people.'

Just as Harry turned his gaze back to the screen he burst out laughing as he saw Natsu push Gajeel into a minecart while saying, "Woops!" and then pulled the lever to make the cart run. The cart began to move, making Gajeel eye Natsu in pure disbelief and demand what he was doing, but he never got to finish speaking when the dragon slayer's weakness of being in something that moves kicked in. Soon though, Gajeel fell down somewhere out of sight. When Natsu turned around to reveal his face, he looked so proud of himself. The expression made both Harry and Fawkes die. They couldn't breathe.

"HE FINALLY DID IT!" Harry cried out joyfully.

"I can't believe he actually did it!" Ron shouted with his eyes threatening to pop out of his skull.

Sting and Rogue were shocked at what just happened, but Natsu questioned mockingly why they were so surprised and if they thought he forgot about the insult they made earlier. The pink-haired dragon slayer then formed the words 'come on' with his flames on the tips of his fingers.

Everyone around him, including himself, began to cheer. Harry was glad that Natsu stood back up, ready to show the world what Fairy Tail was really made of. He paused when he felt something. It felt like Zeref's magic again, but he could tell it wasn't him. He felt Jellal on the move, so he decided to just let him handle it and return his attention to Natsu.

Natsu mocked the Sabertooth mages, angering them and causing Sting to attack while in dragon force, but just as he was about to land a hit, Natsu caught it. He couldn't make out what was being said between them due to the roar of magic, but Natsu went from smirking to serious in a second. Flames cloaked around Natsu's body in a burst, causing a sudden and loud roar to be heard.

Harry blinked, and within that motion, Natsu punched Sting in the face, sending him back with a look of pain and shock. Then Rogue appeared behind the fire dragon slayer. Harry heard someone call out to Natsu to warn him about the threat, but it wasn't needed. Rogue announced himself by calling out his attack: Shadow Dragon's Roar. Natsu snapped around while preparing his own roar. The two attacks collided, but the shadow magic didn't stand a chance. If Harry had blinked, he knew for a fact he would have missed what had just happened.

The flames continued on their path toward the shadow dragon slayer, meeting their mark quickly.

Sting and Rogue recovered and both attacked Natsu from both sides while Natsu just grinned cockily at the two of them. The three of them began to exchange blow after blow, but Natsu was able to block or dodged both his fellow dragon slayers with ease. Natsu also was able to keep pushing them back away from himself. In the end, Natsu was making this fight look like how Sting did when it was just him against Natsu and Gajeel earlier, but a more epic version.

The battle paused for a minute so Sting and Rogue could catch their breaths. After they were back, they formed balls of shadow and light. The magic kept growing bigger and bigger, but Natsu didn't look concerned at all. The magic felt as if they were merging together, and that was just what Makarov confirmed, but Harry had never heard of a Unison Raid before.

{It's where two powers come together to form one massive attack,} explained Fawkes.

The two giant balls of magic vanish, and then much smaller versions of them appeared in Sting and Rogue's hands. Between them, a new ball of magic formed.

{With how long this is taking, I would have attacked them a long time ago,} said Harry.

{I have to agree. But it is Natsu, so...}

The magic was thrust forward, creating a collum of powerful magic that tore through the ground. As it approached Natsu, said dragon slayer didn't move. Harry couldn't help but feel concerned, but a small part of him was telling him that everything would be okay, but that was only there thanks to the expression Natsu had on his face.

Natsu powered out as the attack neared, and somehow through the roar of magic, Harry heard the name of Natsu's attack. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Lotus: Exploding Flame Blade!"

The fire exploded out and bulldozed through the unison raid like it wasn't even there, and then it collided with Sting and Rogue and the wall, causing a huge shockwave to run through the whole city.

As the dust cleared, Harry could see that Sting and Rogue were still standing, but Harry wondered for how long. They could not possibly be able to keep going for much longer. He was right. Rogue was the first to fall, and not far behind was Sting. As Natsu processed that he won the match, he called out "Yeah!" in victory with a childish, wide grin on his face, all the while the announcer was calling out that Natsu was the winner.

Harry and the rest of Fairy Tail cheered the loudest among the crowd. "YEAH! NATSU WON!"

TBC

Well, this fight is done! Now next week I'll be working on 'Our Shinigami Brother'. We're in the 1,000-year blood war arc, and I'm really just going to make the pacing a little bit better in that, but not much else changes. Although, there will be a lot more humor in it. :)

Natsu: OH YEAH! Who's the man! XD

Harry: Great job, Natsu. :)

Zeref: This is why you're my favorite brother.

Natsu: Hey! I'm you're only brother!

Zeref: Exactly.
