Yo guys what up it's ya boy, anyway I wanna apologize for not updating this story for so long, there's been a few things holding me back like school and all that, also laziness. But actually I've been thinking and reviewing this story and I felt like I messed it up but please comment and give your opinion if you want me to continue or rewrite it

A Large Explosion soon engulfed the arena forcing the spectators to shield themselves. As the explosion died down they saw that Natsu and Laxus were struggling against each other by pushing one of them back with their fist. Lighting and Fire were seen fighting for supremacy and both mages were not letting up. Suddenly Natsu reeled back making Laxus lose his balance and stumble forward, taking advantage of this he slammed his knee right into Laxus chest, using his flames as a boost he sent Laxus flying back.

Laxus immediately twisted in mid air and landed on the ground and immediately launched himself back at Natsu.

Lighting Dragon Iron Fist, Fist coated with Lighting, he swung it at Natsu who had already was readying his own spell

Fire Dragon Iron Fist.

Both elements clashed once again as both mages were struggling for dominance.

"Not bad Natsu, seems like your not trying at all" Laxus said while gritting his teeth.

"Your not bad yourself, you're giving me quit a workout" he replied while staring directly into his eyes. Both jumped back and took in their breaths.

"Hey Natsu why don't we take things up a notch aye" Laxus grinned as lighting suddenly surrounded him and half of the arena as well as making people hair stick up from the amount of electricity he was emitting.

"Couldn't agree with you more" Natsu sent his own grin while fire soon coated him covering him from head to toe while covering his half of the arena.

Meanwhile*

"Incredible" Levy awed as The dragon Slayers fought. "Such Magical Power" Juvia said astonished as well. Both blue haired girls were in amazed at the display but they weren't the only ones. Gray and Gajeel could only stare in shock at the amount of magic rolling off of Natsu as he battled Laxus.

"Their evenly matched" Lucy said while fanning and trying to get her hair from standing up.

"No their not" Erza said while staring intently at the match. "Laxus magic power is greater than Natsus"

"No actually" said a voice from Erza's right spoke up. Turing to see who made the comment she saw it was the young brown haired girl, Demi was it?

"Oh and how can you tell? Erza asked curiously.

"Natsus holding back" Demi replied not even bothered by the Heat. Most of the people that were eavesdropping on the conversation looked at her as if she had told them she jumped on a volcano and swam in it.

"That's bullshit, there's no way in hell Natsu has gotten that Strong" Gray yelled out not wanting his ex rival to be stronger then him.

"It's true he showed me half of his power when I asked him to show me so I could see how far my fire resistance was since I'm a fire mage myself.

Recalling the memory as she said it.

Flashback*

"Hey Natsu I have a favor to ask of you" Demi said when she had found the said DragonSlayer resting against a tree under the shade.

Yeah what's up" Natsu said while sitting up straight to see what she needed.

"I want you to make your fire go as hot as they can" she replied while looking at him.

"Why though" Natsu couldn't help but be curious to why she would ask him that.

" I want to test how much heat I can handle currently since I want to improve for my magic" she said while clapping her hands together "please Natsu could you do me this one time please"

"I don't know, I mean my fire can get really hot" Natsu said while lifting his hand and summoning fire from it.

"Exactly That why I'm asking you" She replied. "And if I can't handle it anymore I'll tell you to stop"

"Eh alright why not" he said standing up. "Thanks a bunch Natsu just go when your ready" Demi said as she stood a few inches away from her.

Fire immediately coated his body as he focused his fire to get hotter. So far Demi was handling it well and not even sweating. But there was an increase as his fire seemed to get wilder and take on a blood red color as the heat increased. She felt it and started to sweat and make her clothes feel a bit hot on her but she decided to push through and look at Natsu as he flared his magic more. He was standing in a midway crouch position as he looked at the ground glaring and summoning more fire. His fire increased and expanded upwards while lashing out every so often. Not wanting to give out just yet but she felt her skin turn red and starting to singe.

"Come on Natsu, make your fire hotter I can still go on"

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa" Natsu yelled while his fire suddenly exploded forcing her to take a few steps back while blocking her face with her now arms as Natsus fire was now a giant pillar of heat and increasing. Demi no longer being able to withstand the immense heat anymore called out "Natsu that's enou". Not finishing at she startled at the center of the fire was a black figure with glowing red eyes staring at her as fire swirled around it as if it danced around him. Falling to her knees she felt herself passing out. "So much heat, can't ...handle it.. too .. hot" she felt like she would rather die then continue to suffer here. Suddenly the heat vanished along with the flames.

"Huh?" Looking back up she saw Natsu standing there with a apologetic smile on his face. "Sorry bout that, guess I went a bit overboard"

Demi just stared at him in awe, and slight fear, but gave a last laugh before passing out.

Flash Back Ends*

" I remember waking up with a bandages covering most of my arms and legs along with my neck since I received some burn marks" she said holding her arm where there was a light mark there.

"So this heat his emitting now is nothing compared to half his power"

Everybody could only stare at Natsu as he fought the Laxus who seemed to think he had the upper hand. Oh how wrong he was.

"Natsu how strong have you really become" Most of everybody thought to themselves wondering if it had to do with his banishment or if he was always this strong.

Meanwhile*

Laxus gritted his teeth as he was sent back and barely stopping himself. "Damn I thought I had the upper hand but he just keeps getting faster and his attacks start having more force in them" he thought as he managed to dodge one of Natsu's flames that was aimed for him.

Lighting Dragon: Thunder Flash

Laxus shouted bringing both his palms together in front of him and shot multiple bolts of high speed lighting at Natsu.

Natsu dodged sideways and kept dodging to his left with bolts of lighting striking where he last stood. Rolling forward under Laxus attack he propelled himself forward at Laxus while covering his body in flames. Laxus sewing he had no time to dodge crossed his arms and hope to block his attack.

Fire Dragon:Sword Horn

Crashing himself at Laxus with great force causing Laxus to be blown back and crash into the stands.

People waited with anticipation to see if Laxus would be getting back into the fight. But as the dust settled down they saw he struggling to get back up while trying to not wince in pain. Laxus gave a grin and shook his head. "I'm out"

People erupted at his words claiming that Natsu had managed to beat Laxus again and with out help this time. "Laxus has claimed this round his loss so Natsu is the winner"!!!! Max announced. People were handing each other money for the bets that were placed. Some people grumbling that they had lost a few thousand.

Natsu simply walked to Romeo and Demi and sat next to them. Natsu said thanks as Romeo handed him a bottle of water. Drinking all of it he saw people heading towards him.

"Natsu That was incredible" Levy smiled at Natsu as she sat next to him.

"Heh thanks" he replied with a small blush. Just looking at her face with such a bright smile made him feel all warm inside, not his usual warmth but a different type of warmth that he couldn't explain.

"Juvia agrees with Levy-San, Juvia did not expect Natsu-San to be this powerful". She stated as she made herself known.

Natsu just looked at her and gave a nod. He wasn't sure what to feel about her, since he didn't know if she had also helped in wanting him gone or not. But he felt a bit of remorse for since he saw she didn't look as bright as he last saw her.

Looking past her, he saw Erza, Gray and Wendy with Carla and ...Happy heading towards him.

"Great" he mutters as he stood up to meet them.

"Hey Natsu, you gonna be alright" Romeo asked as he got next to Natsu ready to defend him from his once trusted friends.

Before Natsu could respond Gray got in front of Natsu rather harshly.

"What the hell was that ash brain, how the hell did you get this strong, you must of cheated or bribed Laxus"

"Get off of him" Romeo said pushing Gray back. Natsu pulled Romeo back and answered back. "First off, Ive gotten this strong from training unlike you who probably wasted his time being a complete moron, Second you should get your eyes checked before accusing someone of cheating and thirdly" Natsu grabbed Gray by the shirt and growled with small flames coming out of his mouth "Laxus would never stick as to go as low as being bribed into losing"

"Natsu That is enough" Erza says pushing Natsu back and pulling Gray.

"Don't tell me what to do" he growled as he glared at Erza. Wendy not wanting a fight to break out quickly got in front of them

"Hey Natsu-San, That was fight was really cool" she exclaimed waving her arms out in a cute manner. Calming somewhat he grinned at her and ruffled her hair.

"I am pretty cool aren't I" he chuckled before looking at happy causing him to lose his smile and adopt a rather emotionless face.

"U-um Natsu" Happy said nervously not liking The face Natsu was making at him. His body trembled with Guilt and fear running though every part of his body. His eyes watering and extreme shaking he flew directly into Natsu's chest crying

"WAHHH NASHU I'm so SoWWY" happy cried as he kept holding tight.

Everyone stared at the scene with fear of what Natsu's response would be.

"For what" Natsu calmly stated

"IM SOWWY For not sticking up for Yooouu, for BEing se-s-selfish,for choosing f-fish over my BEST FRIEND" Happy said tears streaming down his face and clutching closely to Natsu "I thought -sniff-I thought the G-Guild wa-was only j-j-j-joking"

He felt himself being pulled off Natsu by the neck and saw that Natsu was holding him. Sniffing and trembling he closed his eyes not wanting to look at him in the eyes. Natsu without saying anything put Happy down and left. Happy started crying again saying Natsu was never going to forgive him. Wendy picked him up and hugged him trying to calm him down.

Natsu walked into the bathroom that was closest and shutting the door. After checking that nobody was there, he lost his emotionless face and tears streamed down his face as he clutched his chest as he saw Happy's trembling body crying out for his forgiveness.

He stayed there for a couple of minutes silently crying.
