Bab 23: Chapter 23
Natsu's POV
We both flew off the ground, we were using our respective natural elements. I used my fire to shoot into the air where she seemed to become a shooting star as what looked like white stardust trailed behind her. Once we were at our desired height it was time to begin. "Heat wave!" I called out turning the entire stadium into a sweltering sauna of flames covered the arena platform slowly allowing the referee to flee.
"Eclipse!" she called out blocking the sunlight.
"Hey no fair, you know that's my favorite!" I pouted, she only smiled in response. "Fire Dragon King Mode!"
Lucy's POV
Yep sunlight is his favorite and starlight is mine. This is an official fight after all. I grin and match him, "Celestial Dragon Queen Mode!" The field I'm sure was crazy scary looking now, between the flames below and the eclipsed sky it very well could have looked like an actual hell on Earthland.
"Now I know why they were selling eclipse glasses! Please make sure to put them on whenever you look towards the sun!" Jason screamed into the mic. The crowd was going crazy already and we haven't even hit each other yet.
Master steps up again much to Jason's fear. "Please just put them on for the remainder of the fight things will get bright," Master advises wearing a pair himself. "They have been enchanted so that you can still see Natsu and Lucy while they fight they will automatically adjust as needed."
"Ccccoooolllll! You heard it here folks, these glasses are cooler than the normal ones!"
I brought my attention back to Natsu who was grinning and I return it. "Let's do this," I purr ready to see how far we have actually come.
"Celestial Wings!" We call out together each appearing to grow a pair of fairy like wings made of stardust. We hovered in the air getting a feel for the air currents and I flew up bringing the power of the stars closer to me as I did as he glided down pulling the flames high enough to lick our feet.
"Urano Metria," I call out and as Natsu is dealing with that I craft my duel stardust blades, knowing full well that Cancer's swords would not hold up against him. "Venus Gladius!" Soon enough I'm holding a pair of pale blue translucent blades the hilt the color of starlight shaped much like a dragons claw. As I swing the blade a light trail of stardust seems to sprinkle from it. I position myself ready to duel, standing in my cancer star dress.
"I'm all fired up!" Natsu screams holding out his own hands covered in his fire.
Natsu's POV
"Natsu sets the arena on fire! Lucy has the sun blocked creating this otherworldly arena before you now! Lucy and Natsu use celestial magic to create wings! They have literally taken this fight to the air people. This match is already super heated and they haven't even landed a blow yet! Lucy's Urano Metria has lit the stage up like the sun itself, and now as the light fades we can see her duel wielding a pair of swords! Are they actually leaving stardust behind them? I can't believe this!" Jason's voice set my nerves on edge, I try to ignore him.
I use my fire to propel me towards my mate who was blocking my fist with her swords. They held up well against the force if anything they seemed to get stronger the more I tried to force it. "Crimson Lotus Fire Dragon Fist!" I swing again and again and Luce just deflects my attacks. I can't help the smile spreading across my face.
"Meteor Shower!" she responded making me dodge creating space between us.
"Fire Dragon King's Roar!" I call out before using my own fire as cover I swooped in and "Fire Dragon King's Fist!"
"Black Hole!" I was not expecting Lucy to have mastered so many new spells already. Black Hole tried to suck me as well as anything else around towards her with her blades at the ready. Eventually I lost my balance and she was able to land several blows, actually making me bleed.
I'm not letting up at all and yet all Luce is doing is deflecting with what seems like ease. Honestly, it's kind of pissing me off. "Fire Dragon King's Purgatory!"
Lucy's POV
Oops Natsu's mad. I have been using my celestial magic to meet each of his attacks with equal power leaving them useless.
"Supernova!" The flash of light was just enough of a distraction to create some distance between us. "Meteor Shower!" The arena was still bright from supernova making it impossible for him to dodge all of them. I can't help the smile on my face, I landed the first several attacks! "Aurora Borealis!" A strange multicolor light ray struck him in the gut. I'm trying to be careful not to permanently blind him.
I see as he lets his fire explode around him. He isn't mad, no he is excited and maybe more than a little bit horny.
Natsu's POV
Seeing my mate power up like this is amazing and then to feel it for myself, how much work and effort she has put into her training. I feel myself shaking in joy. I'll admit that at first I was pissed but now it's like I had a revelation. The stronger my mate is the stronger I can be! I push harder and harder letting my attacks get more destructive as I went. Knowing full well that she can take it and then some.
The flashes of light surrounded us making it impossible for anyone to see us with the naked eye. "Fire Dragon King's Brilliant Flames!"
'Natsu?' Celeste was trying to get my attention making me jump to soon and Lucy's most recent supernova caught my shoulder.
'What?' I ask her confused; she had been quiet throughout the entire tournament, why would she interrupt now?
'I have a new spell for you if you want to try it but it will be difficult for you. It involves ice magic.'
I grin, 'oh yes!'
Lucy's POV
Okay Natsu has that look that says it's all over. I chuckle a little bit to bad he doesn't know about my special training.
"Jupiter's Storm!" I call out, the once clear sky now covered in thick black clouds. Lightning crackled above our heads I swung my sword throwing them into the air just in time for one to be hit by the lightning. I twirled about gliding on the air currents before catching my now electrified weapons easily.
"Mercury's Shield!" and I swing one sword at Natsu and fling the other into the air. Now using both hands on the hilt I smile at my mate. "Pluto's Wrath," I moan into his ear before flinging myself backwards away from from my mate as Mercury's shield came down striking him with the hilt of the sword right into the center of his back blasting him with electricity. This created plenty of time for Pluto's black flames to engulf him, scaring me in the process. Did I go too far?
"Neptune's Trident!" we both call out at the same time. I'm surprised, Natsu actually bothered to learned an ice magic spell? Neptune's Trident negates fire magic including our dragon fire leaving the flames frozen in ice. Including the flames on the stage.
Natsu's POV
Just as the name suggests I was now holding onto a trident made of ice, and so was Lucy. I grinned at her, "We have been training really hard, haven't we?"
I see her smile and the sparkle as her wings started to glow behind her, before she responded. "Yes, Angel's Promise!" She had her left hand stretched out towards me the Trident in her right and the two Venus blades thrown up in the air again, then all I saw was white.
Lucy's POV
Now I just have to stay together until he is done. I twirl the Trident flinging it at him as I caught my blades again. Natsu seemed to be in a rage his fire growing hotter and hotter as he threw a punch after punch and thrusted with the Trident at me. He had tried to grab mine when I hurled it at him but it melted, not allowing anyone but it's creator to handle it.
He did still do well on his own but he still preferred his fist finally allowing the Trident to melt in his hands before lighting his hands on fire again. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"
The fight seemed to drag on as Natsu's attacks snuck though my defences. Thankfully while he is in Angel's promise his rage didn't allow him to think clearly. He was using mostly fire dragon slayer magic, and since I could eat those flames it took much of the punch out of them.
"Heat Wave and Stellar Wind!" I call out lighting the field on fire yet again and I used stellar wind to fan the flames making them a bright blue instead of there previous warm yellows and oranges. The crowd was going crazy behind me from people panicking trying to flee to those who couldn't stop cheering huddling under the fire blankets.
I could hear as Erza and Jellal commanded the crowd back into organization. Allowing them to leave if they wished but demanding it be done in a safe manner. I smile; they have everything under control. Then I see Natsu start to drop out of the sky. Looks like Angel's promise is complete.
Natsu's POV
"What?" The arena below me was now covered in blue flames and I couldn't seem to ride the air currents to well anymore. My magic is severely depleted, Lucy what was that spell. I can't help but grin as I start to fall. This isn't over yet. I let myself drop several meters before using the flames natural updraft to pull myself back up shooting past her letting out a flair hitting her causing her to tumble back.
"This isn't over yet!" I laugh and then I feel my magic plunge out of nowhere. My wings disintegrated from my back and I started falling back down. "What?"
Confused I look up at Lucy's smiling face. "Thanks for the meal!" she called back waving as I came crashing back to the ground missing the arena entirely.
"Hey, this isn't over yet!"I eat the blue flames and shoot back into the air ready to use lightning fire dragon's roar. "Lighting-"
"The winner is Lucy Dragneel ,Queen of the dragons and the Heavenly Star of Fairy Tail!" Gramps announced making me stop my attack.
"What?" I look at Luce and she points back to where I landed. I had landed out of bounds. "Aaaaahhhhhhh!" I screamed frustrated, much to Lucy's amusement. She danced beside me landing a quick kiss on my cheek.
Just like that my anger forgotten and replaced with a bit of lust. We danced around each other in the air for a while she released eclipse bringing the sky back to normal and since I ate the flames from below we probably looked just like a couple of actual fairies.
Then I heard her giggles fill the air, grabbing all of my attention. I danced with her our fingertips grazing each other as we reached towards the other. We twirled about in the air. I couldn't look anywhere else than at her. I pulled her in close forgetting about our wings but suddenly I was supporting all of our weight.
Lucy had let her own wings go so that they wouldn't clash with mine. She snuggled into my arms giving me sweet kiss after sweet gentle kiss. The rest of the world forgotten.
Lucy's POV
The feel of dancing in the air together was truly amazing. Then I felt Natsu pull me in. I released my magic hanging several meters in the air nothing but Natsu's arms supporting me, and yet I have never felt safer than I do now. I let out a content sigh before placing a long awaited kiss on his lips. He is like a drug, once I start I didn't want to stop.
I kept the kisses sweet and gentle as we slowly drifted back to the ground. Still fully aware of the crowd around us. Shit, we are going into heat again.
"Dragon slayers hurry, I can't stop it." I whisper with the last of my willpower as Natsu kissed me again growing hot.
Wendy uses a sky dragon's roar and because Natsu still has his wings out it blows us back up and towards our house. Good job Wendy, I think to myself as I deepen the kiss between Natsu and I. "Bed?" I whisper and Natsu guides us down into our still open bedroom window. This just might become a habit.
