I Love You To Death (Gray x OC).

Ch. 19 Time to battle: Natsu v. Adonis

Natsu's P.O.V
"Hello sis," said the hooded mage. Sis? I didn't know or care who she was, but she was pissing me off. Working hand in hand with a man that obviously had history with Tristitia, which ended in her killing him was her plan. What type of sister does she think she is?
Next to me, condensation was forming in Gray's hands as he looked at Otis. Evidently, he knew how she knew him. He seriously wanted to punch his face in. Not that I'm complaining.
"Althia... why?" Tris cried out. It pained me to see her like this. Family doesn't betray family. Ever.
Over on the left, Adonis chuckled as he watched Tris fall apart.
As usual, I acted before thinking.
"Adonis! You bastard!" I charged at him, my fist ablaze with fire.
"Hmm... what a pleasant surprise?" He smirked, and using one of his large devil wings, tossed me to the ground. They were strong enough to knock me down, but I stood up and stood my ground.
"Don't worry, I've got him. You guys take care of the others!" I shouted.
"Don't have to tell me twice, flaming flamingo!" Gray charged head on to Otis while Erza took on Jacques and Lucy took on a red headed girl, who looked similar to Jacques. Tris was still freaking out on the ground.
"Get up Tris! We need you!" She turned around, looking me in the eyes before nodding and getting up. She was going to have to face Althia.
Good luck, Tris.
Adonis was slowly approaching.
"Done talking, flame brain?!"
"Yeah. I'm all fired up!" I charged at him again.
"Fire dragon: Fist!" I brought my fist towards him, but he protected himself by encasing himself in his wings. Upon impact, the fire extinguished. I punched his wings over and over again, but the fire extinguished every time.
"Why...*punch*... won't...*punch*... it...*punch*... work?!" His wings shoved me back, and I slid back on my heels.
"See, I'm a fire devil slayer. My wings protect me from fire."
But only his wings.
"Thanks for the tip," Now, all I had to do was take him by surprise... or...
I smiled. For once in my life, I had a plan.
Author:*claps, eating her popcorn* Good job, genius.
Bestie: Shat up and write!
"Fire dragon: Wings Attack!" " Fire dragon: talons!" I used them simultaneously, and as suspected, Adonis used his wings.
Now it was his turn. He held his hands open, his palms facing each other. In his palms, a ball of orange, churning fire formed. It was all going according to plan, not to mention that this new flame looked pretty delicious.
I licked my lips as the fire projectile left his hands. As it neared, I started sucking in the fire. At first, it was okay. But then, my insides started failing. I was burning. I had to use the fire and fast. But my body had other plans.
I fell to the floor, burning from the fiery sensation. It felt all too familiar. Then I noticed how similar to the Tartaurus Curse that Tris used during our match it was.
"Haha. See here, idiot, my fire's intense burn is derived from the river Phlegthon, which burns souls for all eternity!"
That was the same river Tris mentioned when describing the Tartaurus Curse. Adonis chuckled and turned around, thinking the battle was already over once I had hit the ground.
I don't think so.
I started to crawl towards Adonis. Fortunately, he was too busy boasting to notice. I crawled closer to his wings until they were in arms reach and grabbed onto them.
Taken by surprise, Adonis flew upward. As he tried ferociously to get me off, I tried to get a better grip on his wings. I gripped one and stretched it back and he lost the ability to fly with it. He started to struggle, flying from side to side before I stretched back his other wing and we fell to the ground. The pain in my gut was still intense. That's when I remembered that Happy was beside me.
"Natsu! Are you okay?!"
"Hey buddy! Once I get rid of the fire I will. Can you fly me over to Adonis?" Before crashing, I had jumped off his back and landed ten feet away. But I was too weak and couldn't crawl all the way over there. Happy picked me up and flew me over to him, dropping me right on top of him. I turned his bruised body over.
"Devil Fire Dragon Slayer: ROAR!!" I used his fire on him. Without his wings to protect him, he got the full blast of fire. The pain in my gut was still there, but it was slowly decreasing. He struggled to move, but without his wings, he was vulnerable, and he passed out. His hair slowly began to turn back into brown and his eyes into crystal green. His wings slowly disinagrated into dust that faded away. He looked like himself again.
I got up, clutching my still hurting gut.
"Natsu! You did it!!" Happy sang.
"Of course I did. Did you ever doubt me?"
"No, no. I'm just happy."
"Of course, that's your name!" I chuckled, my torso hurting with every shake. I turned back around and looked at the bruised heap of a body that was now Adonis.
"That's what you deserve, traitor." I spat before walking over to the others. Erza had taken down Jacques, Lucy had successfully beaten the red head, and Tris carried Althia in her arms. Her eyes were red, tears stains still left on her pale cheeks. I could only imagine how hard it must've been to fight her own sister.
Gray was walking back from beating Otis. He was weakly smiling, blood dripping from his bottom lip.
Suddenly, a beam of bright light shot out towards Gray and pierced him in the chest.
Gray cast a glance at Tris, clutching his chest as he fell onto the ground.
"GRAY!!!!!!!!"
