The Angel and the Fairies

Chapter 9

Sparks started appearing in the room Natsu and Happy were in as magic began entering the large black lacrima in the center of the area. "Hurry, Natsu! The Jupiter cannon is almost ready to fire again!"

"Yeah, I know!"

"It's too late," Totomaru said, raising his hands up. A red magic circle appeared in front of him, "Blue fire!"

Natsu smirked as azure flames came racing towards him. Ah, he always loved this part. Quickly, he ate the fire and shivered. "Woah, that was cold going down. Never tasted fire like that before." He was really starting to get annoyed, however, because he hadn't found out how he could destroy the lacrima without the man interfering. He kind of felt like he was letting Angeles down. "Find a different way, idiot. Put your two brain cells to use." Great, even the voice inside his head sounded like the asshole.

"Natsu, you got to hurry!" Happy cried out, "There's only two minutes left!"

The dragon slayer charged forward at Totomaru without his flames, desperately trying to get an attack in. He quickly jumped back, however when he saw him go for a weapon. "Goddammit," He growled to himself. "Goddammit, goddammit, goddammit." He quickly kept fighting, however, and smirked with triumph when the katana flew out of Totomaru's hands and pierced the lacrima.

"You think you're so smooth," Totomaru crossed his arms. "A little ding like that won't destroy a giant lacrima."

"Maybe not but now you're swordless." He charged again at the man, this time with flames coating his fists. "Which means I have the upper hand."

Totomaru dodged the dragon slayer's attacks easily, "Geez, how many times do I have to tell you that won't work?" He used his magic to cause the pinkette to punch himself once again in the face. He flinched in surprise, however, when the teen shot fire at him from his elbow. 'How'd he do that? He expanded the range of his fire power so it would hit me.'

"Thirty seconds," Happy mumbled, his small form shaking. "We're dead meat! It's going to fire again!"

Natsu growled and fired up his magic, creating a giant ball right over his head.

"Think you can hit me again?" Totomaru taunted, holding up his hands. "I'll just keep my distance and control your fire from here." His eyes widened when the fire ball did nothing he wanted. 'What the- I can't get it to move. It won't even budge.' He covered his face as the fire got bigger and bigger. 'It's blocking my control. How'd he figure out how to do that in the middle of a fight?!'

"This is my fire," Natsu growled. "And I won't let you mess with it!" He threw the fire ball at the lacrima, hitting the sword and shattering it, causing the cannon to blow up. He grinned as he heard the cheers from his guildmates outside.

His victory was short-lived, however, as the ground started to shake, throwing him off balance and causing him to stumble. "What the heck's going on?"

"The whole place is tilting!" Happy shouted, using his wings to hold himself in the air.

"You Fairy Tailers are through," Totomaru grinned. "Phantom's giant will slaughter you!" He sweat dropped, however, when he saw the dragon slayer on the ground looking sickly.

Happy shook his partner's form, "Natsu, get up!"

The pink-haired teen groaned, "I can't."

Just as Totomaru was about to attack the prone dragon slayer, Elfman and Gray showed up, sending him flying. When Happy flew out to check what was happening, he reported to the group about how he saw the giant making a large magic circle that could take out the entire city.
