Chapter 7: Final Round
Natsu's POV:
It was the morning of the final round for the S-Class promotion trials. I woke up and saw Gray looking at me while his arms were wrapped tightly around me. We stayed in our current position for a few more moments, enjoying each others warmth. We got up and got ready for the fight that would soon occur.
We walked out of our tent, only to be met by one of our opponents. "You know, it's not to late for you guys to back out." Stated a prideful Laxus. "I mean really, I doubt you guys could beat one of us." Laxus continued to taunt us as we walked to the rest of the group. Before we got half way to the group, I turned around and said, "All this talk about us forfeiting makes you seem scared Laxus." He looked at me with a small amount of anger present on his face. "Tch, whatever. You two go ahead and fight us, but don't expect me to be sorry when you lose and hurt." After that, I turned back around and continued my way to the group.
Gramps was sitting on a tree stump when we joined everyone. Laxus joined soon after. Gramps stood up and said, "This will be the final round of the S-Class trials. We have our current S-Class mages going against the challengers, Natsu and Gray. I will be the referee for the match, and I want everyone a safe distance away from the edge of the arena. There's no telling what will happen in this fight. Now, if everyone is ready, let's get ready for the fight."
The six of us went into the hole, while our tiny master stayed above. Gray and I were back to back, surrounded by the other four. Mira and Gildarts were to the left and right in front of me. Erza and Laxus were in front of Gray on his left and right. Gramps said, "Ok, you know the rules, and we're all too excited to listen to them. Ready. Set. FIGHT!"
Third POV:
Natsu and Gray smirked at the mages in front of them. Natsu unleashed a Fire Dragon: Roar while Gray used his Ice Make: Lance. The opposing mages tried to dodge, but the attacks hit. To say the S-Class mages felt the moves was an understatement. They were pushed back into the walls behind them burned or rather cold. They weren't down for the count though. They got back on to their feet, albeit slowly and uneasy, but still on their feet. Mira used her Satan Soul: Halphas, Laxus activated his Lightning Dragon Slayer magic, Erza requiped into her Black Wing Armor, and Gildarts got ready to use his magic. The two boys were still standing back to back.
The people watching were shocked to say the least. They have never seen any of the S-Class mages so affected by one attack, and Gildarts never gets moved. Yet, here Natsu and Gray are, doing serious damage to the mages.
Laxus and Erza charged at Gray, going in for a hand-to-hand attack, hand-to-sword in Erza's case. Gray however, effectively blocked and dodged their onslaught of attacks. He punched Laxus and sent him flying into the wall again, forming a Laxus sized crater in it. He then made a sword out of ice and attacked Erza, sending her tumbling on the ground into Laxus.
Natsu was also locked in hand-to-hand combat while this was going on. Him and Mira were exchanging blows, though no of Mira's connected. Gildarts would send an attack of his own occasionally, but they were always blocked or dodged. Natsu gave each of them a Fire Dragon: Iron Fist to the stomach, sending them crashing into a wall on top of each other.
Gray and Natsu had gone back to standing with their backs facing each other. The S-Class mages looked terrible, Gildarts less so than the rest. Erza's armor was broken in some places and she was heavily panting. She also had many scrapes and bruises visible on her skin. Mira and Laxus were in the same boat as she was. Both had many injuries covering their bodies and their clothes were torn. Gildarts' clothes were also torn, but his injuries were fewer in number compared to the rest. It was obvious they weren't going to last much longer.
Natsu and Gray on the other hand looked as if they hadn't even been in a fight. Their clothes were still intact and they had no injuries anywhere on their bodies.
Erza requiped into her Purgatory Armor and ran at Gray once again, she was followed by Laxus and the began attacking once again. Mira changed into her Satan Soul: Sitri and came at Natsu was followed by Gildarts.
The two challengers responded accordingly, blocking and dodging while landing their own hits on the S-Class mages. They pushed their opponents back, but not into a wall this time. Mira, Erza, and Laxus looked like they couldn't take any more hits and Gildarts looked like he couldn't take much more. Natsu and Gray were still in prefect condition to fight.
Three of the S-Class mages hit the ground unconscious. Gildarts was all that remained of the four. He released his magic power, a white aura surrounding him. The spectators minus the old man were all on their knees from the pressure. Natsu and Gray, they were unaffected by the immense power.
Natsu ran at Gildarts, fist flaming, and delivered the final blow to his stomach. Guildarts fell to the ground unconscious, joining his fellow mage in the dirt.
Gray's POV:
After Natsu had knocked out Guidarts, he turned towards me and smiled. We looked up at our guild mates grinning. Gramps' face was full of praise and congratulations. The rest of the group however, were staring at us, mouths open and disbelief written all over their face.
The old man said, "The S-Class mages are unable to continue, so the match goes to Gray and Natsu!" Everyone was brought back to earthland and were cheering for us. Then, Gramps said, "Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster are Fairy Tail's new S-Class mages!" Even more cheering could be heard from our friends.
Natsu grabbed the unconscious girls and jumped up to everyone else with them. He took them to the medical tent and laid them down. I took the other two and put them next to the girls.
We walked back to the group with smiles on our faces. 'We did it Gray! We beat Erza!' 'No duh Flame-for-Brains what did you expect?' 'Oh shut up Ice Princess. I was just celebrating.' The tiny guild master walked up to us and said, "Good job brats. That was an excellent fight." Natsu continued to grin away like an idiot. I said, "Thanks Gramps. I got a question while we are talking to you. Could you tell us when they are conscious again, me and Natsu are going to hang out for the rest of the day." "Sure thing brat."
Natsu and I hung out for the rest of the day. We played more card games in our tent, we went to the beach for a while, and we went to the lake we had been going to. Lucky for me, this time Natsu didn't heat up the lake, so I was very happy.
We went back to the main area where were were staying a few hours before sunset. Gramps had come and told us that the other S-Class mages were up. We walked over to the medical tent to talk with them.
Erza saw us and smile while saying, "Congratulations you two!" We smiled and said thanks. Then, Gildarts said, "How does it feel to be S-Class and finally beaten me?" Natsu responded very energetically saying, "It feels good. Especially knowing I beat you! I mean seriously! Who can say they did it?" We all chuckled at Natsu's childishness. We continued to talk about other random things until sundown.
We were all called to the beach for dinner and a party to celebrate instead of just eating at the camp. We ate and talked and drank and played games until it was around midnight. We all heard a loud noise and saw rainbow lights. We looked at the sky and we could see fireworks of every color going off everywhere we looked. We were getting towards the end when the fireworks began to make a shape. In the sky were two magic circle looking shapes, one for Ice Make magic and he other for Fire Dragon Slayer magic. When the sky was quiet once again, we all cheered and continued to party into the night.
*The Next Morning*
Natsu's POV:
When I woke up the next morning, I saw Gray still sound asleep. I decided to wake him up in a not so fiery way this time. I gave him a kiss on hid forehead and made my way down his face to his lips. When our lips connected he kissed back as if he'd been awake the whole time. Wait... "YOU WERE AWAKE THE WHOLE TIME AND JUST LET ME DO THAT!?" I whisper-yelled at him, even though it was a bit louder than that. All I got in response was an innocent smile before he kissed me again.
Unknown to us, Mira had heard me get on to Gray since she was right outside the tent. She had peeked inside to make sure everything was alright, but she saw us kissing. She started squealing and saying things about her favorite ship getting together. We had broken apart by then and were trying to calm her down. Gray said, "Mira, you can not, under any circumstances tell anyone we are together. Ok?" She smiled before saying," Ok. But I want a full story on how this happened when we get back to the guild hall." We nodded our heads and she left. Gray and I began to get ready for the trip home. We packed up our stuff and loaded it back on to the boat. We then got on board the ship and waited for Erza to return from her last minute check.
Erza's POV:
I was walking around the camp again to make sure nothing was left behind. I was glad I did when I saw two shiny objects in the grass. I had gone over to see what they were and was shocked to say the least.
Right in front of where Natsu and Gray's tent had been, there were two coins. Both bearing the symbol for the Ten Wizard Saints. I hesitantly picked them up and inspected them to make sure they weren't just some phony copies. I was even more shocked when I found they were real.
I made my way back to the ship with the coins hidden away in my pocket. When I boarded, we sent off for the main land.
I had found Natsu and Gray conversing with Mira, Laxus, and Guildarts and said, "I need to talk to you two for a minute." They complied and followed me to Master Makarov's room on the boat. I knocked on the door and I heard a faint, "Come in."
The three of us entered the room and Master said, "What do you brats want?" I said, "I want to talk to the three of you about something I found at the camp." I pulled out the coins as I said this. Natsu and Gray went wide-eyed and started checking their pockets to make sure the ones I was holding were in fact their's. They snatched them out of my hand when the realized they were and put them in their pockets.
Gray's POV:
After we got our Wizard Saint coins back from Erza, I looked over at Natsu and we sighed. We were found out. I looked at Erza and said, "Can you go get Mira, Laxus, and Gildarts. We will explain it to you guys when you get back." She nodded and left. A few minutes later she returned withe the other mages.
She sat down sand said, "Now, explain yourselves." The other three who had just came in were confused, but understood once we pulled out the coins again. They were looking at them and at us with their mouths open and eyes wide. Gildarts said, "Fuyu. Kasai." While pointing at us. We nodded our heads sheepishly and I said, "We were going to tell everyone, we were just going to wait a while before we did."
Laxus then asked, "How did you do it? I mean sure you trained, but what did you have to do to become one of 'em?" Natsu replied, "Nothing much honestly. All we had to do was use an MPF. Then one of us had to fight Serena." Mira then asked, "Who fought him? And what were your MPF scores?" I said, "I fought the guy and he was pretty easy to beat. And as for our MPF scores, I'm not going to say." I smirked at the end because of everyone faces. They looked upset and mad that I would say the score.
Erza then said, "Any more secrets we should know about?" I looked over at Natsu and he nodded, answering the unspoken question. I sighed and said, "Well uh, me and Natsu are in a relationship. That happened a year and half after we left."
Everyone except Mira was shocked by this news. Mira was saying more things about her favorite ship and things like that.
Gramps said, "Well congrats to you two for your multiple achievements. Now, can everyone please leave?" We all nodded and left his room. When we got back, everyone asked what happened, but we said we just needed to talk. We kept avoiding questions related to what happened in our tiny master's room until we got back to the harbor.
We all got off the boat and grabbed our belongings. We all said goodbye and left for our houses since it was already sunset. Natsu decided to stay at my apartment tonight. We had dinner and did other fun stuff until we were tired and ready for bed. Before I went to sleep, two things were on my mind. One being that there was going to be a huge party tomorrow. The second being how much I love Natsu.
