The Dragneel way

Eve Of The Finally

Fourth”

Natsu was in awe as he started at the first master, he couldn't understand what was happening. Here he was in the rubble of his guild fighting a vampire king and now Mavis vermilion showed up. Someone who was supposed to be under the guild sleeping. 

He instinctively reached out to her only for his hand to pass through her body. “First are you…. A GHOST!” Natsu screamed and freaked out as Mavis laughed at him. “Yep.” As Natsu was about to say something else but he hissed in pain as it felt like his mouth was burned. “Ow that hurts.” He said confused as he stuck his tongue out of his mouth. Natsu couldn't see it of course but Mavis saw the black sparks coming from it. “Black lighting.” Mavis said softly.

“Black lighting?” Natsu said, confused. “Yes, it's a corrupt version of lighting magic. The lighting has been tainted over the years because of built up resentment and hate. It's also corrosive because of that which is why your mouth is still taking damage.” She explained with a sense of wonder. “I've never seen it before. How fascinating.” Mavis in her excitement pushed her face closer to Natsu’s mouth in an attempt to see the sparks. Natsu backed up a little from the ghost as he had a bead of sweat run down his face at her excitement. “I don't know how I feel about you being so happy that I'm hurt.” 

Mavis even as a ghost was shown to have a small blush on her face as she cleared her throat in embarrassment. “I'm sorry fourth that was unbecoming of me.” She said, folding her hands in her lap. “Besides that, what are you doing here first? Aren't you supposed to be sealed down below?” Natsu was very confused. Mavis just smiled at him, clearly not sharing Natsu's worry. “I'll tell you after. Right now you have a fight.”

Right after she said that Natsu heard something racing through the air. With haste he made his fire dragon’s shield and blocked multiple bolts of black lightning that struck through the fallen guild hall. “DRAGNEEELLLL!” The king screamed with anger as he laid eyes on the dragon slayer. Natsu was worried for Mavis even if she was a ghost she was still Fairy Tail. He looked to where she was but she had vanished and the Tenrou tribute also went with her. He sighed in relief as he saw them both safe.

Natsu locked eyes with the feral king as his hands erupted in flames. In a burst of speed  Natsu appeared before the king swinging a fire dragon’s iron fist, the vampire flipped over him and struck him with black lighting in the back. Natsu yelled in pain as he quickly dodged another three shots, he glared at the king as he landed on the ground. Natsu rushed him faster than before, surprising the king, the two clashed as sparks of black lighting and fire lit up the area. “I'm going to kill you Dragneel then I'm gonna tear your pitiful guild limb from limb.” Malice and truth laced his words and Natsu had no doubt that he would do what he said if he would let him. And that's what angered him. How dare this bastard threaten his friends over a conflict he started. “I'd like to see you try after I turn you to ash!”

“Fire Dragon's Roar!”

Up in the sky in a sort of wood made dome Laki was battling an apostle. His appearance contradicted his fighting style, Laki thought. He was dressed very formally and his hair was slicked back and the white gloves he had on almost made him look like a butler. Laki had to say this guy was tough but that made her excited. On her face you could see an almost sadistic smile. She dodged a few strikes from his gloved hands as she swung the plied club she made at his head, he blocked it but Laki could hear a cracking noise as he flew into the wall of the arena she made.
