Fairy Tail: Dragon Slayer Lucy

Chapter 18: Lucy Vs. Minerva

In a different part of the city, Natsu finally manage to defeated Chelia who got help from Lyon. They gave Natsu a good fight before Natsu got serious and defeated both of them. On the stands, Lamia Scale was in shock at their loss.

"First Jura... now Lyon and Chelia... both defeated...?" Oba Baba-sama said in disbelief.

"Chelia, you idiot!" Sherry yelled at her cousin from the sideline. Oba Baba-sama started sweating nervously, eyes wide and mouth agape.

"I'm... I'm... Rolling in my grave!" she shrieked as she started spinning furiously around, accidentally using her magic on herself.

"Oba Baba-sama! Get a hold of yourself!" the Lamia Scale members cried as their guild master lost her mind.

Natsu was about to watch Lucy's fight before he felt a familiar presence. He turned around and saw Sting who grinned at him.

"That was a good fight, Natsu-san"

"Sabertooth's Sting has finally come out. And now, he is facing against Natsu from Fairy Tail. Who would win? The Fire Dragon or The White Dragon?" Chapati's exclamation got the crowd in the Domus Flau roaring with excitement as they watched Natsu and Sting faced each other on the lacrima vision.

"And the other side, we've Fairy Tail's Leader against Sabertooth's Leader" chapati announced.

"How'd you know they are the leader from their team?" Yajima asked.

"Simple, Minerva is the strongest mage from Sabertooth while Lucy is one of Ten Wizard Saints just like her master, Makarov Dreyar" Chapati answered.

"You have seen better days. And to think, seven years ago you was my hero." Sting said.

"Quit flappin' your gums. You wanted me, you got me," Natsu said.

"That's the spirit!" Sting cheered as Natsu looked at him determinedly. "I'll show you my newly awakened powers," Sting boasted, activating Dragon Force.

"Heh," he said confidently as he looked at the Fire Dragon before him. His eyes widened at what he saw. He was like a solid wall, unmoveable. Battered and bruised, they stood confidently, without fear or hesitation. Only determination. It shocked him so much his Dragon Force disappeared.

'Standing is all he can do. I could easily defeat him without exerting myself... This is the moment I've been waiting for!' Sting's body started shaking and sweating from the array of emotions going through him.

'Once I crush him... I can see Lector again... I'm doing this for Lector! I can't back down now! My strength is unrivaled! My emotions from Lector have given me newfound strength!' Sting took one shaking step after another.

'I'm so strong now! ...so... strong...' He collapsed on his knees, his head bent.

"I... can't do it." Silence filled the stadium as they watched.

"This... is my defeat." Tear welled up in his eyes.

"Sabertooth's Sting is down! Fairy Tail gains another point!" Chapati announced enthusiastically as the heated battle concluded, the crowd going wild.

"Huh..." a bystander said thoughtfully.

"What?" the man beside him asked.

"Look at the point difference."

"It's 6, what about it?" the people around him asked.

"Well, I was doing the math in my head.... and if Minerva does take them all out..."

"5 for the head, 1 for the other four..." the man pondered.

"That's 9 points!" the crowd shouted in realization.
