~Natsu D. POV~

Walking out of the arena in this tag battle with Silva I couldn't help but grin eagerly wanting to beat up the punks that harmed their own Guild mates as I listened to my friend's words, "You sure you don't need me to help you out? I did hear that those twin Dragon Slayers were kind of strong?"

I laughed slamming my fists together wanting to take them both on myself seeing them to the arena field, "Ha! Fat chance buddy! Besides you can leave this to me! And besides you'll just floor them if you entered the fight so leave some action for the rest of us!"

He shrugged taking out some popcorn leaning his back towards the wall and sitting down with a grin on his face, "Sure thing. At least I'll get some front-row seats and hey if they ever kick your ass then I set in to finish what you couldn't start Natsu."

Seeing Sting and Rogue enter the shadow guy spoke out in an uninterested tone, "I wanted to fight Gajeel I have no prey for a weakling like Salamander Sting."

Sting on the other hand looks over to Silva casually eating popcorn responded being overconfident, "Like that matters Rogue. But I'm the one to beat Salamander you hear me! He's all mine!"

Oh, cocky arrogant punks huh?

I grinned taking my stance as the announcer told us to fight mocking them at once, "Oh, please. I can take you both on myself!"

Sting replied as I dashed forward my fire burning up!

I'm fired up!

*VOOOOM*

Closing the distance between the two seeing their shock I grabbed both their heads slamming them together as I got serious, "Let's see what you punks have in store! Don't disappoint me you two!"

They both backed off from the punch and jab to the face but their coordination moved together as the two began to inhale deeply unleashing their attacks of a shadow whirlwind and laser beam directed at me.

"<White Dragon's Roar>!"

"<Shadow Dragon's Roar>!"

Seeing the two of them roaring at me I rushed forward using the newest spells I made when I get my rematch with Silva. The red fire became blue unleashing my <True Fire Dragon Mode> increasing my speed and pace, "<True Fire Dragon's Rebellion>!!"

*BRRR*

Coating myself with my fire acting like a shield and my body rushing forward like a spear I burned through their roars easily shocking them when I got near them readying my next phase as my arms burned up brightly blue, "<True Fire Dragon's Wing Attack>!!!"

*BAM*

"Ack!"

"Shit!"

Slamming both to the ground they managed to duck and roll to get rid of the fire as the announcer guy sounded shocked. But I ignored him lightning my fingers saying bring it on disrespecting them, "Come on you two! Better give me your all! Otherwise, you guys will be the ones to lose."

The two looked at each other before they nodded. Sensing their Magic Power bubbling up I sense that their power began to rise as they enter a mode I haven't seen in a long while now.

*BOOOM*

Both of them entered using their <Dragon Force>, making me feel all happy, eagerly taking up my stance with Sting expressing a serious look, "Fine then Natsu! I didn't expect you to be this strong forcing us to use our Dragon Force! But you'll regret it soon enough! Rogue stay out of this. Just me alone is plenty."

*VWOOOOM*

Rushing towards me Sting began to build up his Magic Power in his fist unleashing down onto me as I prepared. Retaliating with my own striking his Magic with my own unleashing our moves.

"<White Dragon's Holy Strike>!"

"<True Fire Dragon's Sword Edge>!"

*BOOOOOM*

The resulting clash caused a small explosion that launched Sting out being the weaker one of the clashes slamming onto the wall with shock on his face as I responded with a smug grin, "Sorry kid but you got to try a LOT harder than that. Just me alone will be plenty!! Come at me, both of you at once!!! Fires you up, don't it?"

Sting and Rogue didn't take my words too kindly. I grinned as Sting yelled out at me unleashing more Magic Power in disbelief, "You're saying one of you is enough…? What kind of crap is that! Dragon Force uses the same power as a dragon!!! There can't be any power greater than that in the world!!! AHhhhhh!!!"

*VOOOOM*

Both of them rushed towards me with their Magic Power however I moved past their attacks easily seeing their attack patterns.

Left.

*Wooosh*

Right.

*VOOOM*

Down.

*Wsssssh*

They moved as I could detect them easily as they were getting beaten up till they started to pool their Magic Power together realizing this method of attack surprised me greatly.

A Unison Raid!

By combining the Magic Powers of a White Dragon Slayer and a Shadow Dragon Slayer, their powers can be combined for a more powerful and destructive attack. By releasing a large number of shadows and white light from their fists, the users merge their Magic and release it as a combined burst of the aforementioned light and shadows.

They yelled their Unison Raid putting them into their attack causing me to counter in return, "Here take this Salamander!! <Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang>!!"

I grinned seeing the magic beam coming at me as I returned the favor…

*BRRRR*

Fire erupted from all over my body in the azure blue color of the flames as I counter putting my all into my fist piercing through their Magic beam like butter burning it with the true essence of Fire Dragon Slayer Magic incarnate, "<True Fire Dragon's Secret Arts: Phoenix Impact>!!!"

"CAWWWW!!!"

Coating my fist a figure of an eternal blue firebird in the form of a phoenix roared defiantly shocking many people around witnessing the firepower I wield.

Even Silva looked shocked as the phoenix defeated the members of Sabertooth as they looked shocked in disbelief muttering out loud in awe, "So this is Salamander huh…"

*BOOOOM*

*RUMBLE*

What resulted next was a big explosion upon impact as Sting and Rogue were both knocked out for the count their clothes singed from the burn marks causing the members of Sabertooth to be shocked seeing their state collecting them.

I sent a shit-eating grin toward their Guild Master proclaiming overwhelming victory sending him the middle finger and causing him to crush his drink.

The disrespect. I can see why Silva loves to do it.

But that ain't my style. I can see the appeal but that ain't me.

I headed towards the shocked strongest mage eating some of his popcorn feeling hungry and smugly grinning, "So how do you like that showing me my all huh? Made you scared in your boots old friend?"

Silva returned before he looked at me eating his popcorn before finally laughing out loud as I munch down on some needed fuel, "Hahaha! I swear Natsu you keep on surprising with each step of the way I can see that enough. If everyone in the guild is nearly as strong as you then my spot of being the Strongest Mage might be in actual risk. I do prefer an actual challenge."

I grinned but I shook my head surprising Silva proclaiming to him in a serious tone fist bumping his own leaving the arena, "Yeah no. You have 7 years' experience and even then, with my current strength… I can tell I'm not ready yet to face you all out. But given some time then I'll give you a run for your money better watch your back till then oh so enlightened one because my Fire will be the one to burn you out!"

Silva merely chuckled but a serious and excited glint in his eyes told me all I would need to hear from his mouth.

He accepted the challenge. But that won't be until soon when we finally duke it out. I think till the time is right when I'll give him my all to defeat.

Next time when Acnologia comes knocking to Fairy Tail –

However, I was soon cut off visibly shocked with Silva exclaiming as if reading my thoughts in a serious tone, "No. Sorry Natsu but Acnologia is my prey alone. HE and I have a score to settle that will leave one of two to come out alive."

I expressed a shit-eating grin at Silva's response challenging his claims in a serious tone, "That may be so… but I'm a Dragon Slayer. That's my thing mister strongest but I guess it will in the future to see huh?"

Silva merely sighed as he agreed. Whatever the case maybe I owe him no that's not right…

The guild owes him a lot for helping us in Fairy Tail's desperate time. In that time, he hold onto the Guild's responsibilities and cries over his back for the last 7 years.

Even paying for our homes, cleaning, and Jewels to ensure we have a place to return. That's going above and beyond but that's a level of respect I can't someday return to myself or in the future the service is done for the guild.

Maybe I won't ever repay him… but that won't stop me from being weak. He fought and lost against Aconologia years ago with no one to support him in his time of need.

He forgets one thing, however… those who mess with Fairy Tail shall regret becoming our enemy for harming our family.

And that's a promise I'm going to keep. Because that's what Fairy Tail is all about.
