Let It Go(NaLu fanfic) On Hold Once More

Stand Up

Lucy p.o.v

Natsu stood up after my little taunt. With a wide smirk he ran at me. I suspected that, but what I didn't know was that he gain a few more abilities while I was gone. In seconds he was behind me flames flicking against my skin. I jumped a head and pulled one of my keys out. Natsu jumped a head and covered my mouth trying to stop me from chanting. I flicked my wrist as a loud doorbell sound rang as Virgo popped out. 

"What!" Natsu said surprised. "Punishment princess" Virgo asked. I pulled away from Natsu and hit him again. "Stop him from moving" I told Virgo before moving away from Natsu. He turn his fist ablaze trying a attempt to hit me. Virgo intercepted and put him a hole. I cracked my knuckles and concentrated my energy. I knew he wouldn't stay down for long so I had to hurry. All of the guild members were either cheering Natsu on or me. Cana was starting a betting center. A lot of people were on Natstu side. Master, Erza, Gray, Levy, Gajeel, and Mira was on my side. Natsu quickly got hisself out of the hole and hit Virgo. I dissmissed her to the spirit world and turn towards Natsu. 

"Okay Lucy no more games" Natsu said with a serious look. I just need a little more time.

"Concentrate Lucy! You won't be able to never defend yourself against Natsu" Igneel yelled. The weight on my shoulder and the burning flames kept me from concentrating. Everything reminded me of him. Bitting my lips I turned the wright more and sighed. "I can't" I told Igneel. He bent down in front of me. His redish pink hair covered his eyes slighty. "Lucy what is that Natsu always says" Igneel asked me. 

"Never to give up" I said copying Natsu words. "Now Lucy if you are to beat that idiot son of mine your going to have to defend yourself against his flames. I know it's hard for you to learn something out of your element, but this will make you a whole lot stronger" Igneel said placing a hand untop of my head. "Now concentrate" he whispered. 

My eyes closed as I focused on the flames. I let there warmth surround me and enter me. I was drainging there inner life force converting it to my power. Soon the weight and the flames were gone. "Congradulations! You learned a secret art of the fire dragons" Igneel said. "And that was?" I asked confused. "Honoo no shōhi" he said. "Flame Consumption" I repeated. "This allows you to consume and flames and convert it to energy. You can use this to build your energy up to use your  Urano Metoria and still have your normal energy after" he explained. 

"Thanks Igneel" I said while giving him a hug. He patted my back and sighed. I looked up to him and frowned. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Can you ever see it in your heart to forgive Natsu?" he asked. 

I never gave him a answer to that question. I don't know how to answer at all. By the end of this fight I will finally be able to tell you the answer you deserve Igneel. 

Natsu came running at me with his stomach a bulge. He was going to use his fire dragons roar on me. This was my chance to show them my skills. "Karyū no Hōkō"  he yelled. The flames were coming at me fast. I held my arms out and concentrated all of my energy to my palms. "Honoo no shōhi" I yelled as the flames hit me. Instead of heat and burning sensation I felt a reviving ordeal. Energy began to build up within me. Once the flames dissapered I was faced with everyone shocked faces.
