Chapter 80 - 79

After a few minutes of walking, Ultear, Kagura, and Mira who is still unconscious on Kagura's arms finally arrived.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the state of Mira, they were wondering what happened to cause her to be like this.

Meredy and Ariel, however, was looking at Kagura with a knowing look, they have some ideas on what happened though they didn't say anything.

Kagura put Mira in bed and let her rest, while she walked out of the house and leaned on a tree, Ultear, Ariel, and Meredy was also there.

"You beat her up pretty bad, Kagura." Ariel said with a smirk as she folded her arms.

"....." Kagura remained silent, she just took out a book and began reading.

"Fufu~ she's probably pissed, after all Mira said something that triggered her, you know how can she be such a brat sometimes." said Ultear as Kagura frowned when she heard her.

Then, they saw Erza walking towards them, glaring at Kagura, she stopped in front of Kagura and asked.

"What did you do to her?!"

Kagura closed her book and glanced at Erza with a stoic look. "What happened between us doesn't concern you, titania, once she woke up, you can ask her, if she wanted to tell you."

"You-! How could you beat her up so bad?! She's your guildmate! Your friend!"

"I know. But there is a line that a friend should never cross, no matter how close you two are. You should be fully aware of this, titania."

Erza just bit her lip but remained silent. She knew that what Kagura said was right, years ago she is also like that, no matter how she called her guild mates her friends, her family, there are things that she wouldn't say to them.

She wanted to say more, but no words came out of her mouth, so she chose to remain silent.

"Well, enough about that, I can hear him coming." Ariel smirked as she looked up the sky.

A few seconds later, a large fire descended from the sky, causing the land to tremble.

Those inside the house went out to check what's going on, they were surprised to see Natsu but Gajeel and Gray couldn't help but get excited.

However, before they could say anything, Ultear and Kagura already approached him.

"What took you so long?" Ultear ask while looking at him with a smile.

"Hehe~ I first went to Hargeon to get a ship, they are already waiting a mile from the island." said Natsu with a smile while looking at her.

"Then we better get ready." said Kagura as she walked back inside the house to prepare their things.

"Mira will probably wake up by the time we leave so let's just let her be for now."

"Wait!" Gajeel yelled, he stood in front of Natsu with a grin, "Let us fight first before we leave, I wanted to know how strong I've become."

"Count me in." Gray stood beside Gajeel as he took off his clothes, leaving him in his long black pants.

"Very well." Natsu smiled and nodded his head. "Let's fight only until they finished packing, so give me everything you got, right from the start."

Gray took Natsu's advice and immediately went to his Titan Slayer form. His hair stood up before turning into white, white markings also started to appear on his arms and body, his eyes also turned into silver.

(A/N; Just like his devil slayer form, but white)

Everyone, aside from Kagura and Ultear were surprised by the his changes, and most of all, they were surprised by the ridiculous amount of magic power leaking out of his body.

"Hoo~? The kid sure has gotten strong." Laxus smirked when he saw the changes of Gray.

"Gehee~! You're not the only one that has gotten a power up." Gajeel smirked before he was enveloped by his magic power.

Then, his body was covered by his scales, which unlike before, is more shinier and harder, even his hair seems to be as sharp as sword.

"Steel Dragon Mode! Gehee~!"

Even Natsu was surprised by Gajeel's transformation. 'Steel Dragon eh? He probably eaten 'those' beasts.'

"Gehee~! Let's rock!"

Without any more words, they began to attack. Gray quickly appeared beside Natsu, his fist fist was covered by a white mist.

"Ice Titan's Palm!"

Gajeel was at the opposite side, his arms turned into a steel club.

"Steel Dragon's Club!"

Natsu bend his body backwards, as Gajeel's club and Gray's palm collides, causing a powerful force, pushing each other.

The two of them stumbled back by a few steps.

After balancing himself, Gray once again attack Natsu. This time, he didn't use his magic but just pure hand to hand combat.

At that time, Gajeel already appeared behind him and delivered a kick, to which, Natsu just bend his body forward, before sending a back kick to Gajeel, hitting him in the stomach.

Despite the steel scales, he still felt pain from the kick as he gasp for air.

"Ice Make: Sword!" A sword made of ice appeared on Gray's hand as he slashed it to Natsu, who caught it between his fingers before snapping it in half.

Then, Gray gathered a large amount of magic power on his mouth as he took a deep breath. "Ice Titan's-"

Before he could finished his attack, Natsu already grabbed his mouth, lifted his head before slamming him in the ground once again.

"Steel Dragon's Roar!"

Natsu sensed the attack coming towards him so he leaped in the air, as the powerful blast just missed Gray who is in the ground by a few centimeters.

Gray swallowed his saliva, he couldn't help but sweat thinking about what will happen to him if that attack hit him.

When the blast dissipates, Gray stood up and glared at Gajeel.

"Oi! You wanna kill me tin-can!?"

"Huh~!? Its your fault for staying there snowflake!"

"Damn you tin-can! You wanna go!?"

"Hah! You couldn't even beat salamander, what chance do you have with me!?"

And so, the two of them started to fight, while Natsu just stood at the side watching them with a smile.

No one noticed this but, when Erza heard the word 'tin-can' her cheek wouldn't stop twitching.
