Damn been too long since I updated this story but then again I guess I was focusing a lot on side stories and new stories so this one really was my bad. Okay as too last chapter someone did guess what was happening with Edolas Wendy correctly, actually I think two or three did but the first person to do so was 'thelaughingstalk' so if at some point they have a suggestion for me that is possible for me to do then I'll be doing that. Any way I hope this chapter makes up for the long wait.

"Dammit"

Natsu could only grit his teeth at the swirling ball of wind and blood that surrounded Violet, the others present Knightwalker included could only gawk at the sight not knowing what was happening and truth be told Natsu didn't know what was happening either.

All Natsu knew was that he needed to help his mate, hearing her screams of pain was more than enough to send him into an overprotective frenzy. However, as soon as Natsu took a step forward the gales in the area picked up making causing the pinkette to struggle just to remain in the same spot.

"V, V! Can you hear me? V Answer me!" Natsu shouted against the raging winds but between the howling of said winds and the ever increasing volume of V's screams his shouts were drowned out. "I KNOW YOU CAN PULL THROUGH THIS V, YOU'RE THE STRONGEST PERSON I KNOW, YOU'VE NEVER BACKED DOWN FROM ANYTHING OR ANYONE AND THIS IS NO DIFFERENT!" this time Natsu shouted at the top of his lungs managing to pierce through the howling of the wind.

"I KNOW I SAID I WANTED TO GO HOME, BUT; BUT HERE I FOUND SOMETHING WORTH STAYING FOR, V AS LONG AS YOU'RE WITH ME I CAN CALL ANYWHERE HOME!" Although it may have sounded a bit cheesy Natsu meant every word of what he said. However, he didn't quite get the response he expected, "UUMMPPPHHH"

All of a sudden Natsu found himself forced to the ground, felt something or rather a pair of sharp claws holding him down and something straddling his waist. When he opened his eyes he was met with a pair of what he would say was brilliant bright blue, determined, predatory and piercing eyes that kept him frozen in place.

When he directed his attention to the rest of Violet he was to say the least surprised, Violet had what looked like light blue scales covering her forearms and stomach. Her incisors had now elongated, her hair was pink and her hails had sharpened into something akin to claws. But finally the last noticeable change was that she looked like she had wings made from solid air extending from her shoulder blades, this was much different from the last time, this time it appeared as though she was turning into a dragon.

"V?" was all Natsu could say in response before Violet took in a deep breath, "Mine!" her voice was deeper than usual as she said this and if Natsu was right about her turning into a dragon then from what Igneel had told him it would explain how she was acting now. According to the dragon king female dragons tended to want to be the more dominant one with their mate, it was to prove a point but the dragonslayer couldn't quite remember what that was but what he did remember was that female dragons were extremely obsessive about their mate.

Violet directed her attention towards Knightwalker and let out a very audible growl, said red haired captain changed her spear into Sylfereon in order to try and match Violet in terms of speed. However, strength was a different matter and Knightwalker knew if she wanted to escape let alone survive she was going to have to outwit Violet.

"DIE!" the now turned pinkette growled out before she disappeared in a blur causing Knightwalker to act solely on instinct dodging to an adjacent building. Just in time as well because just as she dodged Violet appeared behind her slamming her fist into the area she once stood at leaving quite a large crack in the ground. "Stay Still!" Violet growled out once more, she was no longer aware of her surroundings and was only focusing on Knightwalker; the one who attempted to take what was rightfully hers.

"Hmm I wonder how long you can keep up this tough act, you must be in a lot of pain now" Knightwalker smirked as she noticed small openings in Violet's skin leak a tiny amount of blood. "This is nothing compared to the pain you're about to be in!" Violet wasn't going to lie to herself, she was in a lot of pain it felt like her body was tearing itself from the inside out.

"Violet you have to stop this, you're going to kill yourself if you don't stop!" Natsu pleaded unaware that she couldn't hear him. "What's wrong with her it's like she can't hear you?" Wendy said in a worried tone but Natsu didn't have an answer, he didn't even know if there was a way to turn her back at this point. He could only watch as Violet chased the fleeing Knightwalker from building to building all the while new cuts and breaks in the skin were forming over Violet's body.

"At this rate she'll bleed to death before she's able to catch Knightwalker, I have to do something" Natsu thought to himself before he launched off after Violet. "Natsu hold on I'm coming too"Wendy called out after the dragonslayer leaving Lucy and Carla behind. "Why does everyone in your guild have to be such a bad influence on poor Wendy" Carla complained before taking off after he partner, "Hey don't leave me behind!" Lucy shouted after releasing she was the only one of the group left.

With Violet and Knightwalker the pinkette was getting frustrated with her scarlet haired opponents continuous dodging and running so she decided she fix that. Sticking her right arm out to the side she gathered air in her palm before condensing it into an almost solid like state in the shape of a small spear. In reality she had just compacted the air into a tight revolving space.

"Sky Dragon's Piercing Halberd!" Violet shouted as she threw her hand forward ordering he spear in the same direction before it made contact the tip of the projectile split into a three-pronged head before it pierced the back of Knightwalker's calf causing her to tumble to the ground and cry out from the immense pain. Knightwalker landed on the group with a loud thud bouncing along it like a stone being skipped along a pond before she came to a stop.

"Say your prayers" Violet threatened as she was immediately upon her target, Knightwalker just gritted her teeth in frustration as she watched Violet cloak her hand in swirling air before it took the shape of a dragon claw. However, before Violet could thrust her hand intendedly through Knightwalker's chest cavity she was tackled roughly to the ground.

"This isn't you V, you aren't the Violet I know so come back to me please!" Natsu shouted in a worried voice while he pinned down the temporarily turned dragonslayer. Meanwhile Knightwalker used this time to prop herself back up with her spear before taking off towards the castle much to Violet's displeasure.

"Let me go, she has to die she has; she tried to take you away from me!" Violet shouted in response struggling to force Natsu off her so she could give chase once more. The more she struggled the more cuts opened up on her skin. "Please stop this! I want the real Violet back; please come back to me V!" Natsu called out in desperation as he hugged Violet close causing her to suddenly cease all movement aside from breathing.

"The Violet I know treasures every life above all else and I treasure her, she isn't someone who lets something as petty as jealousy get the better of her; in fact, she's usually the one who makes others jealous" Natsu said in even tone which turned slightly amused towards the end. Slowly but surely Violet's eyes turned less and less reptilian.

"…NA…"

Tears began pooling in the corner of Violet's eyes as the whole realisation of everything came to her, she realised what she turned into because of jealously and it scared her what she was capable of. Bit by bit her blue scales dissolved from her skin and she started shaking as she clung to the pinkette in front of her.

"…TSU..."

Final her hair returned to its normal colour and the blades of air protruding from her shoulders, wrists and ankles shattered before dissipating along the breeze. "I…I…I" Violet didn't even have words to express how she felt but that didn't matter to Natsu what mattered is that she's back. "Just shut and come here" Natsu said in an amused voice before kissing the bluenette making Wendy cover her eyes.

"Oh jeez get a room you two" Lucy said as she Coco and Carla arrived shortly after the shy dragon, "Wendy can you heal her. Wendy just nodded much to Carla's protest before she began healing Violet, or at least as much as she could. "Thanks, I'm sorry for the inconvenience; it's my fault for being such a petty little girl" Violet apologised to her Earthland self when she noticed the strain on her face after a few minutes healing.

"No it's alright, it is not as much your fault as you think it is; it was a dragonslayer thing Grandeeney told me about so that's partially to blame for the way you acted" Wendy explained but it didn't exactly alleviate any guilt felt by Violet. However, everyone's attention was captured by a loud blaring siren echoing from the castle before a dome like structure opened up beside it and something began rising out of it; something oddly akin to a canon.

"What the hell is that?" Natsu asked with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "Impossible they can't have activated it, I have the key!" Coca said in a distressed voice not understanding how this could be happening.

Meanwhile with Byro and Faust

"Fools directly draining you was only one method we had" Byro said with a chuckle as he stared at a glowing lacrima. "I must admit Byro it was rather ingenious of you to figure out the wavelength of the dragonslayers magic, they had no idea we were syphoning off the power as they fought; the pink haired one sped up the procedure with his reckless use of his power" Faust praised his engineer who was covered in bandages curtesy of Natsu.

"What of Coco my king she has betrayed our cause, even though we have a backup starting mechanism for the dragon chain canon I believe some punishment is in order" the crazed scientist said but Faust just shook his head. "No let her be, she's still only a child; I can't say I'm surprised considering how close to captain Pantherlily she is" Faust replied in a neutral tone before he silently began pondering something.

"Something on your mind sire?" Byro asked curiously but yet again Faust shook his head, "It matters not, start the dragon chain canon; it's time we rid Edolas of the exceed scourge!" Faust declared before receiving a bow from Byro, "As you wish Sire"

Meanwhile with Gajeel and Happy

"Damn you're almost as heavy as Lucy!" Happy shouted out as he felt his back practically snap from having to prevent Gajeel from falling to his doom curtesy of one giant sword slash from a giant black cat. "Hey don't dare compare me to that cheerleader!" the iron dragonslayer roared out before Happy set him back down on the lacrima island.

"Surrender you don't stand a chance against me" Pantherlily said as he held his sword, which was roughly four times the size of him. "Gihi, sorry bub but I don't know the meaning of surrender; but what I do know is that when this is all finished I'm taking you back with me to the guild and making you my cat!" Gajeel declared with a stupid expression as he pointed towards Pantherlily causing the aforementioned exceed and Happy to now possess blank expression on their face.

"Iron Dragon Club!" Gajeel shouted out snapping Lily back to reality who just about used his sword to block the large iron club aimed at him. "You'll have to better than that, I thought you dragon slayers were supposed to be strong!" Lily shouted out in a smug tone before he had to dodge a spinning saw blade that arc right by his face, although it did nick his cheek spilling a little blood.

"Well why don't you come on down here and find out just how strong I am…or on seconds thoughts stay right there" Gajeel replied in an equally smug tone before he took in a deep breath

"Iron Dragon Roar!" Gajeel roared out as he let loose a torrent of swirling iron shrapnel causing Lily to widen his eyes before he took his sword and enlarged it further and then with a clean slash he slashed through the roar cutting off another segment of the island. But Gajeel wasn't shocked, surprised or angry, he was just excited.

"Take this!" the black cat shouted out before attempting to deliver another swipe and finish off Gajeel. However, Gajeel just activated his iron scales and crossed his arms in an X-shaped pattern catching the sword in-between between them catching Pantherlily off guard and causing himself to smirk. "Let's even the playing field shall we?" the dragonslayer said sarcastically before in a scissor like motion he uncrossed his arms snapping the large blade into pieces.

"Hah let's see you try and beat me ugh!" Gajeel started but was interrupted by a powerful punch to the side of his face, "I can defeat with or without my ugh" before lily could finish Gajeel snapped his head back before planting a well-aimed head-butt on the large feline warrior's head causing him to stumble back. Both glared at each other before shit eating grins broke out on the others face. Without exchanging any more words the two fighters began having an all-out brawl match.

They went blow to blow with one another, exchanging one hit after the other but neither would back down and deep down inside they respected one another for that. "Perhaps in a different life you and I could have been friends" Pantherlily said the grin still on his face, "Funny I was thinking along the same lines" Gajeel replied before the both fighter's adrenaline started to surge up once more. However, before they could re-engage in combat there were halted by a loud blaring siren causing Lily's eyes to widen.

"Impossible it couldn't be ready, does his majesty really plan on using the Dragon Chain Canon right now?!" the black exceed shouted in shock causing Gajeel's eyes to widen, "That's the thing we were supposed to stop, it's frickin' huge!" the dragonslayer thought to himself. "Dammit Salamander hurry up; I can't do everything!"

Back with Natsu and the others.

"We have to hurry quickly follow m, there isn't much time left!" Coco shouted but before they could start running a familiar red head along with a certain Ice mage made herself known to the group freezing them in their tracks.

"Natsu?"

"Well, shit just got awkward"

Chapter end
