Back again, I'm not in the business of making you guys wait long for such a battle.

Enjoy!

Nashi watched in disbelief as the boys cracked their necks.

"Dragon Force..." She whispered, barely able to comprehend it. She herself had only entered Dragon Force once, but to feel the power from the soon to be receiving end...

"Nashi, we need a plan!" Elise shouted. "Like, now!" Michael chuckled and cracked his knuckles.

"You taking the shorty?" He asked. Keita nodded.

"Sure. Have fun." Michael grinned as his body glowed once more.

"With pleasure." With this, he shot at Nashi with incredible speed and delivered a punch so strong Nashi's vision became clouded with black spots. She looked up just in time to see him come down on top of her, an explosion throwing her down into the arena itself. Nashi toppled through the arena before coming to a stop. When she raised her head, she had a chance to look around. From what she could tell, she'd landed in the concession area. People were staring at her in shock, there were carts advertising food and merchandise.

"Is that Nashi Dragneel?"

"Isn't she in a fight right now?" Nashi's ears perked up as she heard a whistling sound.

"Move!" She shouted. "He's coming!" Luckily the people had enough sense to move as Michael soared down the hole he'd created after her, bearing down on her. Nashi coated herself in fire and defended as best she could, which wasn't saying much. Michael was tearing her apart. He blasted her with his magic, and she soared through a cart carrying team merchandise. She had just gotten the Blue Pegasus team flag off of her face when Michael was on top of her again. He blasted her left and right, not giving her a moment to breath and relax.

Is this... what it felt like...for King Simon...?

Michael grabbed Nashi and flung her into the roof. He then roared, pushing her through several more floors of the arena and into an empty hallway. Again, she had no time to recover before she was once again doing her best to get away from Michael. She heard laughter as she managed to make it around a corner.

"Come out and play, Nashi!" He shouted. "It's not fun to chase you down!" Nashi gritted her teeth as she assessed her condition. She was hurt, incredibly so, and she wasn't sure how long she could hold out.

What the hell am I supposed to do?!

Michael tore through the wall Nashi was hiding behind, causing her to once again face him head on. Looking back at the battlefield in front of them, Lucy could see that Elise was not having an easy time either. Keita bore down on her mercilessly, throwing her every which way. Every time the girl hit the earth, she had a harder time standing back up again.

"This doesn't look good..." Levy said quietly.

"I-It's nothing." Lucy said. "I'm sure the girls will be fine, right Nat...?" Lucy turned to ask her husband a question, and froze in place.

Natsu was watching the lacrima vision intently. He had a shocked expression on his face, his fists were clenched, and sweat was dripping down his forehead.

Lucy couldn't believe it.

Natsu... Is worried?

She turned to look at Gajeel. Although less painfully obvious, the worry was present on his features as well. Neither man looked up from their respective daughter.

If they're worried...Are Nashi and Elise going to lose?

Elise grimaced as her side throbbed in indignation as she tried to stand again. She managed and looked up to find Keita watching her.

"I wasn't anticipating this..." She whispered to herself. "What am I supposed to do?"

"Lose." Keita answered her. "If you can't enter Dragon Force, there is no standing up to do I'm afraid." Elise growled and launched her lances at him, be he ran through them and delivered another blow to her midsection, causing her to double over. He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and hoisted her into the air. He reared back and delivered a punch right to Elise's face. She felt her body whistle through the air high above the stadium. before she crashed into something hard. She was sitting in a crater the impact had made in one of the four gigantic statues surrounding the stadium. She crawled out of it just in time to get out of the way as Keita drove his fist into the crater, right where she'd been only a moment before. She tried to counter him, but her attacks phased through him like usual.

"Come on, man..." Elise hissed, Keita coming after her. They traded blows atop the giant statue before he whacked her so hard she lost her balance and started to fall.

Luckily, he had her covered.

He grabbed her again as she started to fall, wound up, and threw her. Elise flew through the air and slammed into another one of the statues, causing debris to fall over the crowd. Elise looked down frightfully, fearing someone may have gotten hurt, but that wasn't possible. As the debris got close to them, it exploded against a bright purple barrier. She breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good. There's a barrier protecting the crowd from harm...

Elise brought her gaze back up to her opponent, who was standing on the previous statue. Even with the length of the entire Domus Flau between them, Elise could feel the power he was radiating as a result of his Dragon Force.

"I don't get it..." She said to herself as they continued to watch each other. "How are they able to enter Dragon Force at will? Are they that much more powerful than us?" Elise knew full well that once a Dragon Slayer reached a certain level of power, they could enter Dragon Force whenever they wanted. But not once had she ever done so, and as far as she knew, neither had Drake or Nashi. So how ere Michael and Keita able to do it? "Or is there some kind of secret?"

She didn't have a lot of time to consider it, as Keita was coming over to continue demolishing her.

Sting smiled as both Michael and Keita overpowered their Fairy Tail opponents.

"They're doing just fine now." Minerva observed. "Obviously because of Dragon Force."

"Speaking of which, what is the explanation behind that?" Orga asked. "They're not any different than the girls. No implanted lacrima, not shit like second origin or anything." Sting chuckled.

"Dragon Force is a technique." He replied. "And like any technique, it can be learned through practice."

"Nashi, Elise and Drake are all capable of entering Dragon Force when they want too." Rogue simplified. "It's just a manner of learning how to do it. Of course a power boost is always a great way to simplify the process, it's just that Michael and Keita have learned how to do it." Elise was thrown from the statue she and Keita were dueling on top of, and rocketed right back into the ground in the center of the arena. At the same time, a hole was blown in a nearby wall and Nashi rolled through it, coughing viciously.

"It's basically over." Sting said. "They're almost done."

"Come on, what is this?!" Tetsu demanded as Michael and Keita picked the girls up and continued to attack them without mercy. "They're sucking!"

"You remember what Drake did when we were fighting Master Kronos?" Katsuchi asked, making Tetsu nod. "That's what they're doing." That did't seem to quell Tetsu's anger on the subject, and Azzie felt just a bit more worried than angry. She'd seen first hand Dragon Force was crazy. It's capability to give the user the aspects of a dragon was downright terrifying to be on the same side as, let alone against it. She could only imagine how difficult it was to fight.

"I hope they're okay..." She said quietly as they both struggled to stand. "Michael and Keita are a lot more powerful than I was giving them credit for..."

"If the girls lose, I'm never going to forgive them!" Tetsu growled. Katsuchi sighed.

"I'm all for teasing, but this is something I'd avoid if I was you." Tetsu shook his head.

"Not that! If they can't beat those clowns, how could they beat us?!"

Nashi felt her body complaining as she stood, but she told it to shut up. She wasn't going to lose, she just needed a plan. Elise slowly managed to stand near her, and she regarded the boys quietly. They seemed to be watching, perhaps waiting to see if they were about to cave and give up.

"You okay?" Nashi asked Elise, who was panting.

"Do I look okay?" She demanded angrily. Nashi managed to laugh a bit at this, returning her eyes to their opponents, who were still watching.

Dragon Force.

She didn't know what they were supposed to do. Michael and Keita were faster and stronger. At least in that state. What could they hope to accomplish by falling into a routine of attacking feebly?

"Come on, Nashi..." it was Elise who spoke to her. "We can take these guys, we just need...something to eat, I guess..."

"And where do you supposed we get enough fire or iron to accomplish anything?" She shot back. "I hate to say it but, this may be over."

"It was over the moment you stepped inside the arena." Michael replied. "And I think it's time we got this over with. Distract them Keita, I'm going to make sure we end this." Keita nodded and shot towards Nashi and Elise without remorse, keeping both of them distracted as instructed. Nashi threw a fireball at him, but he blew right through it without a second chance and punched her down. Elise jumped on his back and tried to hit him right in the back of the skull, but she lost her grip as he became a shadow, and he hit her back. This continued on until both of them were about to fall over from the exertion.

Even with just one of them...We can't do it...

"Keita!" It was Michael speaking. "Back up!" Keita jumped back as instructed. Before Nashi could question what was happening, she had a chance to look around.

Four white stigmas were on the ground around them. Michael snapped his fingers, and they started to glow.

Pillars shot out of the stigmas, and once they reached a certain height, white magic shot out of them and towards Nashi and Elise. Nashi protected her face from it, but that didn't do her much good.

Seeing as the magic wrapped around her wrists and tightened, making her arms shoot up above her head. She tried desperately to pull it off, but nothing happened.

"What is this?!"She asked angrily, and Michael chuckled.

"It's akin to the way I immobilized you yesterday." he answered. "The Pillars of the White Dragon prevent my foe from escaping me." Nashi growled, and then realized something.

"Um, where's Keita?" She asked weakly. Michael smirked and pointed upwards. Nashi and Elise looked and, sure enough, Keita was high in the air above, his body glowing darkly.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art!" He shouted, making Nashi's stomach turn. "Ebony Path!" The beam that escaped Keita was narrow, but the destructive force it contained could be sensed even a hundred feet below him.

"Brace yourself, Elise!" Nashi shouted. "This is going to hurt!"

"Way ahead of you!" Elise replied, body coated in iron. Michael smiled as the attack bore down on them.

"Get yourself out of this one, Nashi!"

BOOM!

When the smoke cleared, there was nothing but a hole in the arena where the girls had been,

No pillars.

No girls.

No nothing.

Just a hole.

"M-My goodness!" Ross announced. "What happened to Nashi and Elise, are they okay?! They must be below the arena somewhere!" Drake watched, sweat rolling down his face, as the girls did not reappear from below. Michael and Keita seemed to be waiting as well.

"Come on, come on..." He muttered. "Please be okay..."

"I don't want to be a downer but..." Damien whispered. "I don't think they're getting out of that one..."

"Please be okay..." Ultear said. "Please just be okay..."

"W-Well, um, if the girls do not reappear soon, we'l have to count it as a loss!" Ross said, making Michael smile.

"You tried valiantly, girls." He said.

"Nashi, Elise, please do the smart thing." Keita said. "Stay down. I feel bad being in such a one sided fight." The girls did not reappear, and the lacrima vision did not go down to check. There was simply silence as everyone waited with baited breath. After a few more seconds, Michael sighed and turned to leave.

"I suppose I was a bit too wistful thinking they could stack up." he said. "But if they can't enter Dragon Force to contest us, then..."

"WAIT!" Michael froze in place as Ross shouted and the crowd started cheering. He slowly turned to find out what was happening.

Two hands.

Two hands were gripping the edge of the hole Keita had created with his attack. The hands were different in size, meaning they did not belong to the same person. The hands did not do anything for a moment, but then they did.

Nashi and Elise, battered and bruised beyond belief, and looking as though they were barely breathing, crawled out of the hole and onto their knees. The crowd was whipping itself into a frenzy now. The girls just kept getting up!

"...You sure are something special, you two." Michael said, body glowing once more. "Too think, after all this punishment, you can still stand. You'd passed my expectation already, but this? What will you do next to impress me?" Nashi grinned, eyes obscured by her hair

A dark grin, making Michael a little apprehensive. What was she grinning about?

"Elise." The pinkette said. "It's time." Elise cackled darkly, her eyes obscured as well.

"Finally." She growled. "I was getting sick and tired of these idiots throwing us around." The girls stood tall, and both inhaled deeply.

At first, nothing happened.

Then, Michael felt a rock settle in his stomach.

Fire started to whip around Nashi viciously.

Black fire.

Elise's skin started to grow dark grayish black.

The magical pressure...

"What...?"

"W-What the hell is happening?! Ross asked. "It seems the girls are activating something!"

Katsuchi watched the girls as the black fire and black iron continued to grow around them. He looked over at Tetsu.

They both smirked.

Lucy felt a smile crease over her face as the girls magical power grew.

"I was wondering if they were going to pull this out." Gray said. Natsu grinned, his first reaction since Michael and Keita had entered Dragon Force.

"Now the showdown can really begin."

Michael watched as the girls continued this, and soon enough, red fire merged with the black, and Elise's body became covered in the grayish black coating.

"What do we do?" Keita asked. "What is this?" Michael gritted his teeth despite the unsettling feeling in his gut.

"We attack, damn it!" He shouted, his holy white magic whipping around him. "We have Dragon Force! Nothing can top the power of a dragon! NOTHING!" Michael catapulted off the ground towards Nashi, and reared a fist back to punch her.

She met him halfway with another punch, one coated with black and red fire.

"Nothing can top a dragon?" Nashi asked Michael, who looked past the fire towards Nashi's face. Much like the fire around her, the fire in her eyes burned angrily. "Interesting hypothesis, Michael. However, there is one thing, in this world that a dragon does not stand up too."

"What the hell are you...?" They broke apart, and Nashi rushed him as he landed.

"A God." She finished

She slammed her fist into his face, and he flew back right into the wall. Michael groaned as he lifted his head and looked towards them, both of them standing tall. Nashi laughed.

"Alright Michael, let's see how you fair against the power of the Fire and Iron Dragon Gods!"

Yeah yeah, complain all you want, I know it's coming. I hope you enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five!
