Vengeance

Chapter 18: Day of the Dragons II

«Chapter 18»

Hestia Goddess of the Hearth and her niece Bianca di Angelo, immortal demigod daughter of Hades, were stuck. They wanted to visit Natsu to help him but at the same time they felt like killing him.

Through a giant screen from Natsu's room in Chaos's palace, the two immortals saw they're mate fighting a Dragon that was burning, quite literally the Dragon's scales were lit on fire a perfect opponent for Natsu, as he is a Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Should we go help him?" Hestia asked, worry evident in her amber eyes.

Bianca scowled, "No....Natsu can handle a couple of measly dragons."

But that response did nothing to extinguish Hestia's worries, "I would agree but you know for a fact that Natsu hardly has a fraction of his true power at his disposal."

The scowl deepened on Bianca's face as she began to think about her aunt's statement. Shaking her head, Bianca snapped out of her musings and replied, "We should have some faith in Natsu's power. If it seems like he needs help we'll teleport to Earthland....but till then let's just wait and watch."

Hestia let out a sigh knowing what her niece had said was true and berated herself for having so little faith in her lover. Nodding her head Hestia turned her head to Natsu's fight.

(With Natsu)

Natsu was being pushed to his limits....well the limits he put on himself for the Grand Magic Games. The reason for it was because of his arrogance, believing that he is the strongest being on Earthland was beginning to seen like a bad judgement on Natsu's part.

Atlas Flame was clearly powerful if not more powerful than the other Dragons and that'd what was worrying him. 400 years ago Atlas Flame wasn't this strong, something must have happened to allow him such power, because in the current situation Natsu felt like he will actually have to release some of his powers. And that it self would be dangerous to the humans around him.

"I have no other option." Natsu said, reassuring himself.

Taking a deep breath in the pinkette began to unseal some of his powers, but before that could happen Atlas Flame smacked Natsu aside like a fly. 'I'm in battle and I can't believe I forgot one of the most important rules.'

Eyeing Atlas wearily as the Flame Dragon began to charge up a roar, Natsu ignited his body on fire, "Fire Dragon's Runaway"

Atlas Flame looked at Natsu who ran away leaving a trail of Fire, sweat dropping at his opponent's antics, "The hell..." was all Atlas Flame muttered before walking away to fight other people.

A few miles away from Atlas Flame was Natsu sitting in the ground while concentrating on unsealing one the restrictions he put on himself. A fiery aura surrounded Natsu as he released his first seal, allowing him to access Dragon Force.

"Dragon Force" Natsu was suddenly swallowed by flames. When the raging inferno disappeared Natsu stood in a calm trance like state. The sides of his face was covered in red scales along with his arms, legs, and neck. His multi colored eyes were in slits, wings made from fire stretched out from his back. Rather than looking like the wings from his Etherious form, his Dragon wings looked more like Angel wings.

Cracking his neck and knuckles, Natsu looked in Atlas Flame's direction and grinned as said his favorite phrase, "I am all fired up!"

In an instant almost like teleportation Natsu covered the distance between himself and Atlas Flame with seconds, "Fire Dragon King's Fist"

The flames on his fists grew as Natsu's fist collided with the Hell Dragon's head. Atlas Flame was caught off guard and was pushed back a few meters, his surprise turned into amusement, "Ahahaha to think you could have hurt me! Your good brat! The names Atlas Flame Dragon of Hell Fire, tell me your name little one!"
