The Reason Behind It All

 Mara P.O.V



      Some of the others murmured as the metal face landed not too far from me. Erza seeming to know who he was, also stating the fact that he was a dragon slayer. This only amping me to fight him all the more. By now, I've even gathered that Natsu was a fire dragon slayer from the others as well. Man, won't they be in for a surprise sometime. 

     I grunted slightly, just about to attack him when someone from our guild beat me two it. He went to attack, Gajeel flinging him back like he was a mere fly, his arm stretched out, completely made of metal. The guy landed and continued to slide back from the force of Gajeel still shoving him back with his arm still extending out. Finally, Gajeel stopped and jumped down from a fallen beam he was on before, retracting his outstretched metal arm.

"Show me what you got, unless you scum are too scared." He said cockily. Yet again my attempt to go after him is cut off.

"TO SCARED?!?" Elfman yelled launching himself at Gajeel. Elfman switched his arm into a different beast mode, his arm transforming into a metal one of his own.  But Gajeel just deflected it with his own.

"You're Elfman, right?" Gajeel asked as they continued to go at it. Everyone else watched, me silently waiting for my turn. Gajeel kicked his leg out in the metal form, but luckily Elfman caught it.

"Ahh, not bad big guy." Gajeel praised amusingly.

"That's because I'm a real man." Elfman said back. What's up with the 'real' man thing? I sweat dropped.

"Oh yeah, then let's see how a real man handles this!" Gajeel started as littler metal rods flung out from his already metal leg. It hit some by standers, including his own guild members.

"You'd attack your own men!!" A lot of us yelled out, Gajeel's fighting was dirty and low.

"Cause I knew it would distract ya!" Gajeel mused wickedly, lunging a punch at Elfman. It hit him and he was sent hurtling back and that's when I went for my turn before anybody else could cut me off again. I guess Natsu thought the same thing cause that's when we both lunged at Gajeel. Natsu using Elfman as a catapult, while I ran full speed at him. I used my arm, focusing my magic energy into it before punching him square in the gut, Natsu landing his hit on him also. 

     We sent Gajeel flying back, too much force for him to stop himself, so he was force to crash land. He crashed back harshly into their bar, smashing the whole counter stand and everything that was behind him. I glared at him as he slowly stood up from where he landed. Natsu's hand went up in flames.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Fairy Tail's dragon slayer. And this here is Mara and boy did you really piss her off. She really packs a punch, huh?... Elfman, leave this guy to me." Natsu introduced, his hand still a blazed. 

"C'mon, first you use me as a springboard, and now you want to steal my man-to-man fight?!" Elfman argued back, me stomping a foot out angrily towards him.

"And what about me? You don't get him, I do!" I yelled at Natsu pouting heavily.

       Gajeel was inpatient to fight and yelled out an attack before ramming Natsu in the gut with his dragon iron claw. I heard some gasp in shock, as Erza yelled out Natsu's name. I growled out taking a step forward, before stopping myself.

"You destroyed our guild hall, and then you attacked Levy, her team, and even Mara! I'll make you pay!!" Natsu yelled in anger, flinging Gajeel behind him quickly. I watched Natsu, trying to focus on the fight but Natsu's rage for Gajeel was almost enticing. The way he was so adamant on getting back at who hurt his guild.

     Gajeel landed on a beam above everyone, before using it as momentum, giving him an extra boost as he went to punch Natsu. Natsu's hand, in flames, was ready to punch back. Natsu stopped Gajeel with one arm as he punched Gajeel with his other hand that was still in flames. He was sent back, slamming into a wall in heavy force.
