THE DRAGON'S FURY

WEIRD

THIRD POV
'That was... weird...' Natsu thought. Acnologia wouldn't act like that.... It was all weird. Natsu shook his head and instead focused on the present.

"Is everyone ok?" he reassured as the duo nods. "We're fine" Zerton says, getting the dust off his clothes. "Ok, then let's go before Acnologia comes back again" Natsu says as they move on.

"Man, this forest sure is huge" Natsu says, wondering around. "Aye sir!" Happy beams. "It sure is... hey guys there's a lake over there" Zerton says, pointing east.

"What are we gonna do there??" Natsu asks, raising an eyebrow. "You amateurs! The best part in an adventure is having fun at a lake! Come on fellow mighty wanderers, let's have fun and relax at this cool clear lake" Zerton says, undressing himself.

"What!? We're serious here and all you think about is having a bath in a lake?! Hey Zertony guy! Get dressed and we might as well get going" Natsu retorted, Zerton laughing.

"Relax, no need to be so serious dear adventurer" Zerton chuckles. "Aye sir!" Happy beams, enjoying the water. "Happy you too??" Natsu says speechless.

"See? Nothing wrong with it" Zerton shrugs. "Fine... But we can't stay here for long" Natsu says as he joins them. "That's the spirit!!!"

NATSU'S POV
After the cool bath, we're getting ready to move on. "Ready" Zertony guy says as we continue our journey. We started walking when suddenly, I felt my head ache.

I rub my forehead to rub the pain away. "You ok??" Zertony guy asks as I try to regain my posture. "Yea I'm fine" I say as I continue on walking.

THIRD POV
Once again Natsu stopped, clutching his head in pain. "You don't seem fine" Zerton says, Happy worried with him. "I'm... fine..." Natsu groans, sweating a lot as he drops to his knees.

Worried he might transform again, he stood up and tried to regain his posture once more. "You guys go first, let's meet up outside the forest" Natsu says before running off.

"What's wrong with him??" Zerton asks, confused. "Natsu..." Happy mumbled under his shaky breath. "Let's get out of here first" Zerton says as Happy nods.

Running past trees and bushes, he stumbled upon a river. He fell on his knees and started coughing. He looks at himself through the clear streaming river to see no changes.

He tried to calm himself down but it was of no use. "Guh!" Natsu felt a wince of pain in his chest. Panting hard, he gritted his teeth in pain. "What.. is..". "Yo, meet again" a voice said as he opens his eyes.

"Bad timing I guess, but this is the only time I'm not lazy so let's just get this over with" the voice says as Natsu felt the pain grow stronger.

Holding his scream, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "It may hurt but you're no weakly egg so just bear with it"
