POV: Natsu

"Natsu! Go get her!" Gray yelled at me, but I was way ahead of him.

'Lucy! I'm coming!'

I ran toward the door and before I was even outside I was flapping my wings as fast as I could, to get to her. I followed her sent up into the clouds, and after that I lost her. The clouds were blocking my nose. I looked around as best as I could as I continued to fly up as high as I could and the atmosphere was so cold that even I was getting chilled.

'Damn I'm up high.'

Then I got hit by something. I turned to see Ryder there holding Lucy by her waist and she was knocked out, with a large bruise forming all on her left side of her face from her eye to all along her jaw, and even though she was passed out she was still shivering. And all I wanted to see was blood, Ryder's blood.

"Well look who finally showed up." Ryder said. And I glared at him, glancing from him to Lucy trying to find anyway to get her away from him. "Oh, is this what you want?" Ryder asked noticing. He pretended that he was going to drop her and I flinched. "Oh this is going to be fun." Ryder said smiling at me, and that only made my blood boil. And I growled at him.

'He's not going to think this is so fun when I'm shoving his head up his ass.'

"Natsu?" Lucy whispered, and her eyes opened, and she looked at me. And then looked down at the ground, and her eyes widened as she started to hyperventilate.

"Oh, now I see." Ryder said smiling at Lucy. "You're afraid of heights, aren't you?" Lucy looked up at him in fear, not knowing what Ryder was going to do next. He pretended that he was going to drop her again, this time to scare Lucy, and she yelped making me flinch that he was actually dropping her.

'This bastard!'

"I was right, this is fun!" Ryder said as he started laughing. Lucy looked over at me and took a deep breath, making me wonder what she was going to do. She nodded to me and then punched Ryder in the jaw, actually making him drop her.

"Go Natsu!" Lucy said as she started falling towards the ground. And with her signal, I lit my fist on fire getting ready to charge at Ryder. But before I could, he made his move.

"Ice Dragon: Roar!" He yelled downwards and it hit Lucy head on straight in the head and she started spinning head first. And what I could see of her was that she was passed out again. Then I charged at Ryder completely pissed off, and punched him in the jaw. And he backed up a bit, glaring at me.

'I've got to be quick.'

"Let's go." Ryder said, and we charged at each other. Ryder went to swing for a punch but I ducked and thrusted my foot into Ryder's stomach. He flew back a bit, and coughed a little. He then straightened his posture and threw his head back. "Ice Dragon: Roar!"

"Fire Dragon: Roar!" I yelled and our magic clashed together and fought for dominance so much that it exploded pushing us both back a little. The next thing I saw was Ryder coming at me and his fist was made of ice, and I didn't have time to move so he punched me in the face and I flew back a little and held the side of my face as it burned.

'What the hell is this?'

"You like that?" Ryder asked me as he smirked to himself. "That's something that Jose forgot to mention, I'm also an Acid Dragon Slayer." My eyes widened as he said that, and I realized that this is probably going to end up hurting a lot. Then he turned his entire body into frozen acid. "And the lucky acid of the day is, Fluoroantimonic acid. The strongest in all of Earthland!" He said like an announcer.

'Shit!'

He raced at me and luckily I ducked in time cause Ryder started throwing punches a little faster than I can handle while in the air.

'Double shit!'

I thought as I wasn't able to dodge in time for Ryder's punch and he punched me in the gut and I went backwards. And my stomach started to burn as well. But then I realized something.

'Lucy!'

I looked up at Ryder to see that he was about to hit me with another attack.

"Frozen Acid Dragon: Lance!" Ryder yelled and large shards of frozen acid came flying at me, I tried to dodge them but it was no use. My arm got scrapped and so did my leg, but that was about it, for my body. My wings, on the other hand, were what was so unlucky, the shards went right through and I yelled out in pain as my wings bleed and burned. "Yeah hows that feel? I bet hurts like hell, a lot like how it's going to hurt when your little blonde friend hits the ground." Ryder laughed and I clenched my fists tight.

'This. Ends. Now!'

I lit my whole body on fire and looked up at Ryder, glaring at him. He looked at me a bit scared, and I charged at him throwing as many punches I could and then he kicked me in the gut and then fired an attack at me.

"Frozen Acid Dragon: Roar!" He yelled and his roar hit me head on, and I had a hard time trying to stay awake. As the acid made me bleed and I had already lost a lot of blood.

'If I take another hit like that again, I'm done for.'

I looked up at him and tried to think of a way to beat him. But Ryder interrupted my thoughts as he punched me in the jaw and I held the spot that burned.

'I've had enough of this!'

I then closed my eyes in concentration and my body started to burn hotter, making the clouds around me to evaporate.

"What is this?" Ryder asked as he backed away a bit as my flames started to react with his body. My eyes busted open and I launched at Ryder catching him off guard, and started throwing as many punches, making cracks appear all over his body. After I thought that I landed enough on him, I backed up.

"Fire Dragon: Roar!" I yelled and Ryder didn't have enough time to move and was hit head on. And apparently fire and his 'lucky acid of the day' don't mix very well because he exploded. And the large pieces of his body that was left, fell towards the ground. And I took a deep breath and looked at my wings. And they weren't exactly in the best shape. But then I remembered.

'Lucy!'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

POV: Erza

We had just beaten all of Phantom Lord's members and they were all running and taking off down the road. And we all cheered in excitement.

"Hey!" Levy yelled getting everyone's attention and everyone looked at her, and she looked nervous.

"What's wrong Shrimp?" Gajeel asked her.

"Where's Natsu and Lucy?" Levy asked and we all gasped remembering that Natsu had gone after Ryder and Lucy.

"There!" Gray yelled pointing at the sky. Everyone looked to see that Lucy was spinning down towards the ground, at an angle.

"Where's Natsu?" Asked Mira, who was back into her regular dress, but had used up to much of her energy that she was about to pass out, and Elfman was holding her in his arms. We looked but we didn't see him, or Ryder.

"Erza you got this?" Gajeel asked me and I nodded. Then I jumped in the air only to fall to the ground.

"What the hell?" I roared, as I sat up.

"Erza! Your wing!" Juvia yelled pointing at my right wing. I looked to see that it had a rather large tear in it from the small battle that we had just won.

"Shit!" I said as I stood up.

"But if you can't fly in your armor, Mirajane can't use her magic, and Natsu's not in sight. . . . . what's going to happen to Lucy?" Levy asked. Then the entire school took off running into the woods towards the area Lucy was heading for.

"Do you think we could catch her?" Gray asked.

"No she's too far away, we'll never make it in time!" I yelled and we all tried running faster then we got to an extremely large meadow in the woods, and Lucy was heading towards the other end of the field. But she was falling too fast and then what looked like blocks of ice started falling from the sky straight down and were on the path of landing on top of Lucy. And not far behind them was Natsu.

"Natsu go!" We started yelling, and we took off across the field.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

POV: Natsu

I broke from the bottom of the clouds and saw that the ice was soon to hit Lucy. I slammed my heels together and they caught on fire which helped give me a boost towards Lucy, but it wasn't going to be enough.

'Damn it. Hold on Lucy!'

I started to flap what was left of my wings and that helped me a little more but she was approaching the ground too fast. Then I got an idea. I spun around so I was falling back first tucked my wings in and threw my head back.

"Fire Dragon: Roar!"
