Nashi wanted to smack her father for dropping this bomb on her. She dragged him to the side.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"He grinned

"Surprise!" Nashi face palmed.

"This is a terrible surprise! I'm gonna get my ass kicked!" He laughed.

"You can hold your own against me. They'll be no contest"

"You don't try as hard as you can! They will! Not to mention no one in the guild can stop Rocky's hammer arms..." Rocky's signature was coating his arms with rocks and punching people to death.

"I don't, but that's because if I did, I'd have killed you a long time ago. You'll do fine" Nashi sighed as her father pushed back towards the battlefield. Rocky grinned. The whole guild had gathered in the backyard and looked out the windows.

"Your dad must believe in you something fierce to pit you against me and Sam. I'll take you out, so that Sam over there won't have too do anything" He cracked his knuckles. Nashi grinned.

"You think your so big and tough, don't you? How about I take you down a peg or two?" Rocky burst out laughing.

"You? Take me down? Ms. I can't use magic? Nice joke" Nashi shrugged indifferently. If only Rocky knew...

"Ready?"

"Rock Pillar!" Nashi felt the ground underneath shift slightly. She jumped back in time to dodge the first pillar. She, thankfully, felt her feet connect with the pillar raised behind her. With, she pushed off of it and landed on her feet.

"That the best you can do?" She mocked. Rocky snorted.

"So you learned some acrobatics, I'm supposed to be impressed?" He clapped his hands together, and a brown magic seal appeared. " Rock pillar!" The pillars rose again, this time around him. He grabbed them and flung them at Nashi. Nashi ducked and dove, easily dodging all of Rocky's pillars. She grabbed the last one and flung it back at him. It cracked around his hand. "Nice try, Dragneel. I must admit, your reaction time is far above what I expected. But your not gonna beat me by dodging all the time"

"Who said that's all I planned on?" He growled. A bunch of little rocks lifted from the ground and circled him.

"Rock Barrage!" At least 30 rocks flung in Nashi direction. She jumped high into the air, the rocks missing and hitting the rock face behind her. She landed gracefully, and felt pressure around her legs. Nashi started to panic when she looked down and saw her feet trapped in a rock trap. Rocky laughed.

"Too bad, Nashi, but now your mine" Nashi met her father gaze worriedly. He looked completely calm. Not any reassuring motion or anything. Rocky laughed. "Rock Hammer Arms" Nashi turned fearfully as rocks enveloped Rocky's arms, coating them in a 2 foot layer of earth. He advanced slowly, taking his sweet time.

What do I do!? What now!?

"I honestly expected more, Nashi" He laughed as he got closer. "But, then again, we are talking about Nashi 'Failure' Dragneel" Nashi growled, trying to fight her way towards him, but her feet wouldn't budge. "Let's see how much uglier you are when I smash your face in!" Rocky's raised his right arm.

What do I do?!

"Time to go, Dragneel!" Rocky struck, and my vision faded. I could see no more.

The first thing she heard was people murmuring.

"How did she..."

"No ones ever done that..."

"Rocky's attack..." Nashi looked up. No, she wasn't dead or severely deformed. Rocky's earthen fist had stopped inches from her face. Nashi saw her hand wrapped around it.

She'd managed to grab his fist. The look on Rocky's face made Nashi swell up in confidence.

"How... how did you... you can't be that strong..." Nashi grinned darkly at Rocky as she, with a surprising amount of ease, forced Rocky's arm back. She could tell Rocky was pushing as hard as he could. He was using his other arm to push it. Nashi applied a bit of force, and heard a satisfying crack.

"Is she..."

"She is..."

Nashi broke Rocky's rock arm. He stared at it in shock and backed up. Nashi felt the rock around her feet disappear. She looked down to find it had melted away thanks to her fire.

"Nashi's fire..."

"She using magic?"

"How can that be?" Nashi laughed at Rocky.

"What wrong, Rocky? Cat got your tongue!"

"You... you just used..."

"Yep. Now, I think I've let you have your fun." Nashi propelled herself into the air using fire and a fireball formed in her hands.

"Brilliant flame of the Fire Dragon!" She let the fireball go and it exploded on the battlefield. She landed and waited for the smoke to clear.

"Go Nashi!" Nashi heard Drake yell.

"Kick his ass!" Elise shouted. When the dust cleared, it was apparent that Rocky had blocked it. A shelter of earth had formed around him. It disappeared, revealing Rocky's shocked face.

"Where did you learn to do this shit?!" Nashi laughed as she advanced, flame enveloping her body.

"It's called running 5 miles every day" She growled as she launched her offensive. Rocky was being forced back to block her oncoming barrage of fists and feet. "It's called being beaten into the ground every day to learn how to fight. It's called Being thrown into frigid water to learn how heat yourself up." She swept Rocky off his feet and he landed on his back. She straddled him and started feeding him punches.

"Nashi what the..."

"It's called being sick and tired of over ten years of bullying. It's called having so much self hatred you want to die. It's called inspiration!" Nashi grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and picked him up. "I guess I have you to thank, Rocky. Without you being such a huge prick, I never would have had the drive to learn" She uppercut him, forming a fireball on her knuckles as she did, sending Rocky into orbit. It was a moment or two before he landed, completely unconscious.

"Where did she learn too do that..."

"Maybe it was Natsu..."

"Is that where's she been for 3 months? Training?"

"That was awesome, Nashi!" Drake yelled.

"Got his ass!" Elise cheered. Nashi heard her father laugh.

"Your up, Sammy boy!" He pushed Sammy forward, who gulped nervously.

"Nashi... I never meant those things I said... Rocky made me... He threatened me..."

"Shut you trap, and get the fuck over here" Nashi growled. Sammy gulped. He took position away from Nashi. Nashi launched herself at him, and he raised his hand, the fire around Nashi hand disappeared, and the fire used to propel herself towards him disappeared as well, causing her to faceplant.

"I use negation magic" Sammy said as she climbed to her feet. "No fireballs for you"

"Great plan, Sammy just one problem"

"What?" Nashi raised her fist.

"I don't need magic to kick your ass" He gulped again. Nashi launched herself again, doing so many flips and kicks and punches she started to get dizzy. Sammy must have felt at least 10 times worse. Nashi felt her muscles screaming in refusal. She was forcing herself to do much. Although she trained her acrobatics well, she only had so much in her before she got fatigued. She stopped with one punch, which knocked Sammy down on top of Rocky, both unconscious. The guild started cheering. Nashi felt herself get picked up. She looked down to find Drake and Elise picking her up and walking towards everyone else. She saw her father smiling, and giving her a thumbs up. Everyone was chanting her sweet praise. They carried her back into the guild.

"Nashi?" Nashi soaring heart was brought down to earth at the sight of her mother standing in the doorway of the guild.
