The Dragon's Light

HELP (5)

"Stop!!! I said stop damn i- aahhh!!!!" the man screamed. With a snap of his fingers,
the others who were burning stopped. Sobs and wails were heard everywhere. Shouts heard, Natsu let the flames his every skin.

Minutes later, Natsu finally stopped the burning. "I'm thrilling to kill you... You're the brother of the bastard who killed her... he killed her... he didn't even bother sparing her life... He didn't... He didn't goddamnit!!!" Natsu yelled, the men sobbing in pain.

"Lisanna felt more pain when she died... You all deserve this... You-". "Natsu!!" Happy shouts from after, Natsu snapping from his murderous intent. "I... What did I..." he muttered.

"Natsu, you're safe!!" Happy sobs, landing on his friend's arms. "Yea.." he pats his friend's head. "The guards are here to capture them now" Happy grinned. "Thanks buddy..."

"Sir, your back is bleeding!" one of the guards stated, Natsu looking back. "Ah... yes..." he muttered, and before he knew it, his consciousness were turning dark.

"Natsu!!"

"Mrhngh..." he groans as he slowly wakes up. Looking right, he saw Happy and an old man, together with the young man. "Where..." he groans, slowly sitting up the bed he's laying in.

"Your reward mister. And also, thank you for everything" the old man bowed his head, together with the young man. "No... it's fine" he answered, the duo looking up at him.

Receiving the reward, Natsu slowly got off bed. "You should rest, and also... my friend's granddaughter told me about him getting kidnapped. On the other side of this town, it seems like the boss declared a war" the old man sighed.

"What?? Happy let's go!" Natsu says in a hurry. "Right now?? Please rest!" the old man pleads. "No, my friend's are in danger. Hey, what's that thing about shortcuts again?" Natsu asks, the young man smiling.

"Sorry grandpa, it's hero time" the young one grinned, running with the duo. "Take care..." the old man sighed, smiling as he sees the trio runs towards the mountain.

"And I'll stop here. Nice meeting you by the way" the young man smiled, reaching out his hand. "Same here" Natsu smiled, the duo handshaking. "Well take care!" the young man salutes, as Natsu and Happy runs towards the deeper part of the mountain.

"Happy! Let's fly after all" Natsu suggests, Happy nodding as he grabs his friend's shirt as the duo fly towards the sky. "Speed up Happy!!". "AYE SIR!!!"

"Open, Gate Of The Water Bearer : Aquarius!!!" the blonde girl summons, Aquarius appearing in midair. "A summoning spell?" Gray raises an eyebrow. "Well... we are near a river after all" she nervously laughs.

"Shut it brat!!" Aquarius shouts, smacking her master's head. "That hurts..." she wails. "They sure are close" Wendy giggles. "We are not!!" the water bearer yells.

"My my... So cheerful" they turned around to see a man in a dark cloak and hat covering half of his face.

"I assume you're the boss of your thief gang??" Erza steps up, the man chuckling. "No, they just merely puppets of mine" he smiled. "And... since you all captured my dear puppets... How bout we dance?" he sneered, Erza and the others glaring at him.
