Disaster 5

A few Minutes Ago

With Gray and Sirius

"How should we do this?" Gray asked. Though he is older, he knew Sirius has good experience in fighting as he was always on jobs with Naruto.

"It's a divide and rule. We can attack them one at a time until we are noticed and charge upfront when we are noticed.

This way, they have fewer numbers and we can make a surprise attack as soon as they notice us, this will decrease their numbers more," said Sirius and Gray nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's a sound plan. Let's go then," they both decided and went to attack the goons of the leader. As they planned, they knocked the goons one by one and when they tried to Naruto, they attacked, significantly decreasing the numbers of the goons.

"Water Style: Raging River,"

"Ice-Make: Frozen River," called Sirius and Gray.

Sirius made a large wave of water similar to a raging river while Gray used Ice-Make to freeze the whole river after some time it was released.

This effectively managed to freeze the goons who didn't carelessly move thinking it to be just water coming from the puddle. The attack froze at least 10 members.

"That's a success," called Gray and Sirius nodded.

"We are being attacked, men," they heard a loud shout as people started to shuffle in the thick bushes of the forest.

"Ready Gray?"

"Bring it on," said both of them as they prepared to face the rest of the thugs.

With Natsu and Happy

"Let's kick their ass, Happy," said Natsu cheerfully and Happy nodded and they sprang into action.

Unlike Gray and Sirius, all their opponents are out in the open, guarding the rear side of the fighting area from any passersby.

By the time Natsu and Happy landed and decided to fight, they sent their attacks towards them without hesitation.

"Poison Cloud,"

"Dust Storm,"

"Iron Bullets,"

"Wind Splitter,"

"Broken Shards," were a few of the attacks that were charged towards Natsu and Happy.

Seeing this, Happy took Natsu to the sky as his improved speed allowed him to dodge all attacks with ease.

"Thanks, Happy,"

"Aye, Sir,"

"You bastards, how dare you to attack us!" Natsu exclaimed and released his signature attack, taking in large gulps of air.

"Fire Dragon's: Roar," yelled Natsu, releasing a hot fire blast towards all the thugs who were surprised by the heat of the attack. It managed to injure some while others used some shield magic to protect themselves, but their numbers were cut down marginally.

"Shit. These 2 are real threats, men. Bring out the weapon," called the apparent leader. Natsu and Happy saw all men rummaging through for something instead of attacking.

"We are prepared, sir," said one of the men and the leader nodded and pointed a small gun towards a floating Natsu and Happy.

"Huh? Do you think that can injure us?" Natsu laughed at the gun. Happy nodded along and the leader smiled.

"That cockiness will be your downfall," he muttered lowly and shot a small bullet towards them.

Happy dodged it easily, but the bullet started to follow him and Happy didn't notice it. It struck at the back of his neck and his wings disappeared.

They started free-falling and Natsu used his fire to cushion their fall by blasting the ground they were going to land and decreasing the momentum a lot.

"Happy, happy. Are you okay?" Asked a panicked Natsu.

"Ay-ee, sir. But I can't feel my magic?" He said in a confused tone and Natsu got enraged by this. Though he didn't understand what happened, Happy losing his wings is not good.

"You bastards! How dare you injure Happy. I'll make you pay!" Natsu yelled.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame," Natsu said, igniting both his hands in flames, punching the nearest thug and sending him towards others who were scared by the increased temperature in the area.

"Don't be scared, men. He is just a kid. We can do it. We must succeed in this and bring the lost glory to our Guild," called the leader and everyone cheered.

"Charge," he yelled and everyone started using whatever they could and charged towards an angry Natsu who wanted to pay back for whatever they did to Happy.

"Fire Dragon's Roasting Bath," said Natsu, engulfing his entire body in flames, heating the surrounding area even more. Unaffected by the obvious show of power, all men in the area charged towards him and attacked him without a second thought.
