THE DRAGON'S FURY

TRAIHLERN TOWN

THIRD POV
Natsu ran, and ran and ran as fast as he could. His mind was blank, and his vision was blurry. Pain in his chest, his legs gave up and got on his knees.

"Not now..." Natsu groaned. As his consciousness was about to go blank, he last saw guards surrounding him.

NATSU'S POV
I groan as I rub my eyes. Still straightening my head straight, I finally realized what situation I was in. I jolt awake to see no one, or rather... I was in the middle of the forest.

"You're finally awake dum dum" I hear someone say as I turn around to see END eating an apple. "You.. why are you here?? No wait, where are we??" I ask as I look up to see the clear blue sky.

THIRD POV
"You passed out remember?" END says as Natsu remembers what just happened. "Wait, so where we??" Natsu asks, still confused. "We're in a forest near Traihlern Town" END answers.

"But what about the guards? I remember seeing them a while ago when I passed out" Natsu asks. "Oh them? I outrun them and... that was yesterday" END corrects. "What?? I was asleep for the whole night?" Natsu says in surprise, standing up.

"Yup, now there you have it. So what's the plan?? Infiltrate? Assassinate?? Or direct kill?? Which one??" END suggests, Natsu facepalming.

"Where did you even think of that??" Natsu sighs. "Just came to mind" END shrugs. "So did you get your answer??" END asks. "Maybe..." Natsu answers. "Then what next??" END asks.

"I still have to get back to Alvar to meet Gajeel and the others" Natsu says as he starts walking near Traihlern Town. "No complaints about that. But what about that nerd shabby guy?? He suddenly disappeared to who knows where" END states.

"That's my question. I don't even know how he disappeared" Natsu says thinking. "Well a piece of advice though. You don't have any money" END warns, Natsu frozen in his steps.

"Want me to steal??" END smirks. "No!" Natsu immediately answers. "Don't even think about it" Natsu sighs. "Then what do you suggest we do??" END asks.

"We'll swim!!!" Natsu says determined. "NO!!" this time, END retaliates. "Argh... Then what do we do??" Natsu asks, frustrated.

"We can just fly" END suggests. "Your right! Why didn't I think of that??" Natsu beams. "Because you're a dum dum" END stares at him. "Shut up with that dummy dum dum stuff" Natsu glares.

"Never" END answers. "But wait... If we fly there then the citizens of this town will panic... And the guards of Alvarez is still strictly finding us and that nerdy shabby guy" END states.

"Who's the dum dum now" Natsu sighs. "Nah, you're still the dum dum here. And besides, not that I care of what happens though" END shrugs, Natsu facepalming.

"Then how about this, let's go back to Lovor... Lavvor... Err... Argh!! What was that again??" Natsu shouts, messing with his hair. "Lovarion Town" END says as Natsu nods. "Yep, that one" Natsu answers.

"Dum dum, are you really planning of leaving your so called friends and going far away??" END says as Natsu smirks. "It's Gajeel and the others we're talking about. And besides, it's Zeref-ni and he wo-" Natsu went silent.

"Zeref-ni??" END asks, raising an eyebrow. "That- that was.... it was...." Natsu stutters, not seeming to find the right word.
