Heyo, beans! Chapter 4 is here! I hope it's long enough for you all! Feel free to review, and tell me how it went. Thanks for the favorites and follows! Anything bold will be a dragon speaking!

It was a dragon, almost as large as Igneel had been. It's scales were a navy blue, it's underside an icy light blue. It's snout was rounded, a scar crossing over his left eye. It let out a loud roar, letting it's wings flap once.

"Leave at once!" Behind me, Gray wobbled to his feet, leaning heavily on Lucy. Erza took a battle stance a few feet ahead.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that! We've been sent here to kill you!" Erza shouted. I stared in disbelief. A dragon? Before I knew what I was doing, I was in front of Erza, arms spread wide. My back faced her, so I had to glance over my shoulder to see her.

"You can't! He might know where Igneel is!" I cried. The drogon let icy steam out of his nostrils, bowing his head down. I stared at him with determined eyes.

"Flame brain! Get away from him!" Gray shouted. My arms wavered, but I kept them up. The dragon's crystal blue eyes met mine. His front foot raised up, and Erza's hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Do you know an Igneel? He's king of the fire dragons!" The dragon let out a rumbling chuckle.

"Igneel? He was no king!" he sneered. I lowered my arms.

"Wha..?" The dragon's foot stayed up, rising steadily.

"He couldn't even lead his army!" he bellowed. An icy chill ran down my spine, and I could feel Erza shudder.

"Take that back! Igneel was probably more of a king than you could dream of!" I screamed. My hands curled into fists.

"I am Xon, the ice dragon king! How dare you speak to me that way!" His foot came down. I pushed Erza out of the way, slamming my arm into her side. She tumbled to the ground and Lucy let out a shrill scream. STOMP!

-FT- 3RD PERSON P.O.V. -FT-

It wasn't pain that came with the dragon's massive claws. Instead, Natsu felt a strange tingling spread through his chest and head. He pushed the foot of the dragon off of him, stumbling back as the dragon followed in surprise. His tanned hands went up to the area's the tingling occurred, letting a small grown emanate from his lips.

"Natsu?" Lucy left Gray's side, inching towards the pinkette as Erza lept towards Xon. The fire mage looked up warily, black pupils smaller than before. His canines were longer than Lucy remembered, and his stance was a bit more loose. He scanned her over, and let a manical smile form on his face. Natsu straightened.

"Eenie meenie miney mo, who's blood will splatter, why I know!" he chuckled. Lucy's face contorted into a confused look.

"Natsu...?" she repeated. Gray lumbered over, pulling Lucy behind him. "Wha-? Gray?"

"That isn't Natsu..." Natsu stumbled, giving the ice mage a laugh.

"Not Natsu? My name is Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail! How could you not know that, ice-block?" Natsu's steps slowly grew more composed as he walked, the air slowly heating up.

"Stop lying!" Lucy piped up, with an angry cry.

"Your ignorance will have your head rolling in record time." The pinkette's arm rose up, and black-crimson flames crawled up it. "Di-"

"NATSU! GRAY! LUCY! START FIGHTING! I WON'T TOLERATE SLACKERS!" Erza roared.

The dragon let out his own bellow, "Puny mortals. Even together one cannot beat the great Xon!"

"Puny mortal? Maybe I'll spill your blood first!" Natsu lept up at the ice dragon, leaving the other two mages.

"Karyū no Hōkō!" The warped flames swirled out of his mouth, slamming into the dragon's side. Xon let out a pained roar as the flames burnt his scales, eating away at his body. He wobbled, letting his magic cover the wound. Natsu landed on the ground perfectly, grinning insanely.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Xon's slick tail swung underneath Natsu, who just lept up, giving it a fiery punch. The odd flames engulfed Xon's tail, who in turn let a tornado of icy spikes erupt from his snout. Erza jumped in, a sword in hand, and dug it into the dragon's eye, opposite of his scar. "JUST DIE!"

"Don't worry. YOU WILL!" Natsu lept back, thrusting his palms out before him, letting a small orb of his odd fire form.

"NATSU! LET ERZA GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Gray screamed. His hands cupped around his mouth, hoping to make his yell louder, but it seemed Natsu didn't hear. The pinkette yelled out a spell, and the ball left his finger tips as Gray yelled "Aisu Hanmā!"

The last thing Natsu did hear was the dragon's dying screams, mixed with a yell of agony from Erza. THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! 3 things fell down, one of which to never get back up again.

So sorry this is late! At least I actually got it out. The next update will be whenever. Thanks again for reading, and I'll try to make them longer. Happy Valentine's Day, or as my friends call it, S.A.D. (Also known as Single Awarness Day). Look it up! It's a real thing! I can't wait to spend the night by myself binge watching all of the anime shows I can find.
