Natsu Dragneel In Dxd - Volume 1 Chapter 6 Dragon Vs Phoenix

“But Onii-sama I-” Rias was cut off by her brother not letting her finish the sentence.

“No buts Rias, since Natsu isn’t apart of your peerage you did not win the rating games. So that means Raiser wins by default because you were going to say ‘I give up’ anyway until an outside force came along.” Sirzechs explained his rezoning behind all this.

“Yes, Sirzechs.” Rias answered moping with her head facing the down.

“Now hurry along Rias, might as well get the engagement party over with.” Sirzechs said with no one seeing the devious grin he had on his face.

Location 2 days later in Issei’s house:

“Huh… what happened? Where am I?” Issei asked looking around and realized he was in his room. Trying to remember the events before an image of Rias popped into his head shocking him.

“Hmm, it seems you have awakened Issei,” Grayfia said coming out of herMagic Circle.

“Grayfia! What happened to the president!? Where’s Rias!?” Issei asked with worry not really remembering the events that happened before but knew it was bad.

“The game ended with Raiser-sama’s victory,” Grayfia said plainly.

“So we lost” Issei said in disbelief.

“Rias-sama resigned,” Grayfia said again with the same tone.

“The president resigned… no that’s bullshit you must be lying!” Issei said not believing what the woman in front of him was saying. “She would never lose voluntarily! That’s just not like her!”

“Raiser-sama was going to kill you, it was the only strategic way to end the battle,” Grayfia explained.

“What happened back then, I don’t really remember” Issei said grabbing his head as a headache starting to come from trying to recall the events.

“You stood up countless times to face him but ultimately your body couldn’t take that much of a beating,” Grayfia said telling him what happened.

“So…that’s what happened…after all that training…it was all my fault!” Issei said as tears finally came out of his eyes sitting down on his bed weeping. “What about the others are they ok!?”

“All of the others have accompanied Rias-sama to the underworld. Asia only stayed here to look after your healing.” Grayfia said explaining to Issei once again what was happening.

“Accompanied? What do you mean by that?” Issei asked.

“They were invented to attend her engagement party with Raiser-sama.” Grayfia said.

“President… I can’t believe it… I can’t have her doing something she hates… especially with that asshole.” Issei said crying again thinking about Raiser.

“You are definitely amusing just as Sirzechs-sama said. Here take this and decide whether or not you want to go through with it or not. It is an invite that will send you to the party.” Grayfia said handing Issei a piece of paper showing aMagic Circleembedded in it. “In all my years I never witness a Devil show their emotions so freely. Make sure you at least try to make it.” She said as she disappeared in a flash of light.”

“I don’t need to think about it,” Issei said under his breath. “Ddraig if you can here me I need all the power you’ve got.”

Location at the party:

“Fufufu, my brother won abridefor his rating game. We already knew how it was going to end we just wanted to put on a good show!” Ravel Phenex said arrogantly dressed in an elegant pink dress.

“She conveniently forgot it was filmed,” Sona said walking over to the group of Akeno, Kiba and Koneko. “The result was that they won by default.” Sona said not wanting to tell them everything except she knew that Akeno knew what happened.

“Thank you for your words but you needn’t play on our side,” Akeno said with a smile.

“I don’t think the battle is really over. That’s what we believe anyway.” Kiba said grinning.

“He’s right the battle isn’t over,” Keneko said agreeing with Kiba taking a sip from her drink. With a burst of fire Raiser came out in an unbuttoned white suit showing half of his chest.

“Noble Devils that have assemble in the underworld for this glorious day. May I have your attention. I would like to make a grand announcement in the name of the Phenex clan. I have assembled you here in the name of me Raiser Phenex and the heir of the Gremory clan Rias Gremory to be married. I just wanted to share this historic moment with all of you when the to pure Devil clans have finally joined to create an everlasting peace. Now I present to you my future bride Rias Gremory!” Raiser said giving his speech as rias came in a flash of red light showing her to be in an elegant dress.

As she came the door burst open showing Issei in his sacred gear and a couple of beaten guards.

“Hey, who do you think you are interrupting a sacred ceremony!” Raiser fumed as Issei ran forward a little.

“I’m Issei Hyoudou Fresh man in the Occult club and I am here to kick your ass bastard!” Issei screamed getting prepared for a fight. “Rias doesn’t belong to you Raiser, she belongs back with her friends in her real home and that’s with us!”

“What is that man thinking?” Ravel said to herself in shock while Raiser gritted his teeth in annoyance.

“Stop that nuisance!” He screamed at the guards as they surrounded Issei making him get into a fight stance.

“Let us join in then, yes?” Akeno said to her friends with a smile.

“Of course!” Kiba said dashing forward summoning one of his swords. “Leave this to us Issei!”

“Hurry,” Keneko said kicking a guard in the face.

“You got it guys!” As Issei said this Akeno electrocuted multiple guys in the back about to jump him.

“Go on Issei, save Rias!” She said.

“What is happening?” Raiser asked not knowing what to do. “Rias, is this your doing!?

“This is something I prepared,” Sirzechs said coming from out of nowhere.

“Who’s that?” Issei said as he stopped running.

“Onii-sama! What are you doing here!?” Rias asked surprised.

“Does that mean he’s Sirzechs Lucifer!?Thatman is aDemon Lord!?” Issei yelled in response.

“Sirzechs-sama, you needn’t concern yourself with this-” Raiser was cut off by Sirzechs as he also had something to say.

“Raiser-kun, I watched the rating game out of curiosity as it was my sister’s first one and who had no experience of one before and had fewer pieces than you.”

“Then were you dissatisfied with the game?” Raiser asked nervously.

“No, not at all. But if I made a word I could make the very existence of that game disappear without a trace. But there is a certain exception I would like to make and that is… interrupting my little darling sister’s engagement party.” Sirzechs said as out of nowhere Natsu came out too with a big smile on his face.

“Woo! The food here is great! Ain’t it Happy!?” Natsu yelled with a piece of meat in his hand.

“Aye! But the fish here could have been more seasoned.” Happy said as he came out of Natsu’s jacket holding a cooked salmon taking a bite out of it.

“W-w-w-what’s h-he doing h-h-here!?” Raiser asked visibly shaking and sweating in front of the whole crowd.

“This boy here is named Natsu Dragneel! He too has the blood of a Dragon just as you do Issei! What I want is a battle between a Dragon and Phoenix to see who’s superior!” Sirzechs said yelling to the crowd of noble Devils who were getting interested in seeing the fight Sirzechs promised. “Plus this could be a way to redeem yourself from last time…Raiser-kun.” He said in a tone only Raiser could hear while he let his pride get the best of him.

“O-of course Sirzechs-sama.” Raiser said bowing.

“This battle will determine whether or not my sister Rias will marry you, Raiser-kun. Do you accept the terms?” Sirzechs said grinning already knowing the answer.

“Yes I accept the terms my lord. I will try to put on a great show for you.” Raiser said nervous but didn’t want his reputation to be tarnished not taking on the battle the demon lord himself presented.

“Yosh! Get ready Princess! Your brother told me what you were going through and I not gonna let that happen!” Natsu said walking over to Rias giving her a grin.

“Aye sir!” Happy yelled agreeing with his partner. Rias could only look at her brother and Natsu in disbelief as she didn’t know this is what he had planned as tears started to stream down her face.

“Thank you…Onii-sama…Natsu-san.” Rias said crying into her hands.

“Oi pinky! Are you really going to beat Raiser to save Rias!? Cause if you can’t do it I’d gladly take your place!” Issei said shouting to Natsu.

“The hair’s not pink it’s salmon, dumbass!” Natsu said head butting Issei.

“Oh yeah, what’s the difference!?” Issei said getting irritated headbutting Natsu too.

“Why you! Your luck Sirzechs said I could beat anyone up until the showdown with Raiser!” Natsu said walking away. Everyone just sweatdropped at how he handled things. “Oh yeah, and I will beat Raiser’s ass! I already did it before!” He said as everyone gasped at the information.

Location in the arena:

“Now let the battle between a Dragon and Phoenix commence!”Sirzechs said through the speakers as everyone in the spectating room looked upon them in anticipation.

“Don’t worry Princess… I’ll definitely win. I’ll kick this guys butt just for your sake got it!” Natsu said screaming in the arena.

“Thank you… Onii-sama… Natsu-san.”Natsu thought of Rias crying. “Are you really going to beat Raiser to save Rias!? Cause if you can’t do it I’d gladly take your place!”He also thought of what Issei told him.

“Don’t worry Raiser I’ll make this beating as quick and painless as possible but seeing as I went overboard last time I’ll turn it down a notch. And I promise you ten Seconds is all it will take.” Natsu said getting into a fighting stance. Raiser was left shaking in his boots getting prepared for battle too.

“He thinks he can defeat my brother in ten seconds!? Is this man sane!?”Ravel said through the speakers.

“Time starting… now!” Natsu yelled activating hisLightning Flame Dragonmode as the pebbles on the floor started to levitate off the ground. “Lightning Flame Dragon’s Roar!” As he said that a large torrent of fire and lightning rocketed toward Raiser who narrowly dodged it in the air still feeling the heat that came from the attack and when it hit the barriers it shook the whole stadium.

Still staring at the possible death attack Raiser didn’t notice Natsu dashing towards him at fast speeds.

“9!Lightning Flame Dragon’s Cauterizing Wingbeat!” Natsu yelled covering his arms in fire and lightning and smashing them down on the unsuspecting Raiser who was sent crashing to the ground. When he got up everyone was surprised to see his regeneration was taking longer than usual. Trying to recuperate from the devastating attack he didn’t have a chance as Natsu jumped in the air doing an axe kick which Raiser put his arms up to block. “8!Lightning Flame Dragon’s Voltaic Talon!” The magic enhanced kick broke his arms and left them hanging towards the ground as once again the healing process was delayed.

“Gahh! Won’t you just die!?” Raiser screamed flying into the air throwing a stream of fire at Natsu with his recovered arms as he just ate them standing where he was while the spectators gasped in shock.

“Sorry no can do 6!Lightning Flame Dragon’s Scorching Sword Horn!” Natsu jumped high into the air headbutting Raiser electrocuting and burning him as he was sent high into the air. “5!Lightning Flame Dragon’s Firing Hammer!” He covered his hand and forearms in his magic and launched a giant stream of Fire and lightning towards the still flying Raiser who flew out of the way but got half his body caught in the attack screaming in agony.

“Why are you even fighting me!? There’s no reason for you to do this now is there?” Raiser said panicking.

“I’m fighting for Rias! You made her cry, pushing her into something she didn’t even want! And you’re asking why I fight!? I’ll burn anyone to ash who gets in the way of protecting my friends! And that includes you!” Natsu screamed in anger. Rias staggered back in surprise tears brimming from her eyes again at the speech Natsu just said.

“Now there’s 3 seconds left and I think I should end it already!” Natsu yelled charging his magic as Raiser tried running somewhere, anywhere to get away from the monster he was seeing as the magic he was giving was suffocating. Daring to look back Raiser stopped running as the image of a giant angry Dragon was behind Natsu roaring. “Dragonslayer Secret Art-Crimson Lotus:Exploding Lightning Blade!”

In the motion of swiping his arms in a circular fashion a spinning torrent of Fire and Lightning approached Raiser as he stood there paralyzed at his oncoming doom. The spell consumed him completely as the spectators heard his muffled cries of agony through the stream of fire and lightning. An explosion occurred when the attack finished and surrounded the arena in dust as no one could clearly see what was going on.

Waiting a few moments for the dust to clear the Noble Devils looked upon a sight they never thought they would lay eyes on.

Raiserwasn’tregenerating.

Walking up to the beaten man Natsu looked over him with discuss as aMagic Circleappeared in front of Raiser before he could get any closer.

“N-no! Get away! I-I don’t want you hurting him any further!” Ravel said. Even though she was scared to death at what this man can do she still wanted protect her brother even though he was a stuck up jackass. Taking a whiff in the air Natsu sighed.

“You must be his sister right, since you two smell alike. But don’t worry I wasn’t going to hurt him ‘pigtails’ I was just going to do just going to do this.” Natsu said walking around Ravel then picking up Raiser putting him over his shoulder. “Now let’s go pigtails we gotta get him some help. He seems to be out of magic, that’s why he’s not healing.” He said patting Ravel on the head causing her to blush.

“M-my name i-isn’t ‘pigtails’ it’s R-R-Ravel!” She said fl.u.s.tered trying to catch up with Natsu’s fast pace. Before they got any further the ground began to collapse and the sky shattered to pieces as the realm they made for the fight started to deform. Before falling into an infinite void Natsu activated hisFire Dragon’s Talonto keep him afloat catching Raiser that he formerly dropped out of surprise and putting him on his back while Ravel just sprung her Devil wings.

“Um Natsu can you give me my brother back?” Ravel asked shyly realizing how weird the question sounded.

“Sure no problem. Kinda getting tired of carry him like a baby anyway.” Natsu said throwing Raiser toward Ravel as she almost dropped him.

“Natsu! Thank you so much!” Rais said flying toward him giving a big hug crying into his chest.

“Hey, didn’t I tell I would beat him. Plus you saw me do it before so why are you crying?” Natsu asked not understanding her emotions.

“I’m just so happy is all.” Rias said joyfully still crying with a smile.

“Oh well, can’t stop you from being happy can I? By the way where’s Happy? I’m getting tired of flying with my own magic.” Natsu said lazily while patting Rias’ back comforting her.

Location 2 hours later in a garden:

Taking out a slip of paper Akeno summoned a Griffin from it in an open space.

“Uh what is this?” Issei asked looking at the creature.

“This Issei is a Griffin. This will be your treat for trying to save me.” Rias said to Issei. “You will now take me home.”

“See ya Princess! And not so nice meeting you Pervert!” Natsu greeted them off getting a yell of defiance from Issei.

Getting on the Griffin Issei and Rias flew off with Rias laying her head down on Issei’s shoulder.

“You know Issei… I got permission from my Brother and he said that it was okay for me to live with you if you want.” Rias said.

“Oh! Really, that would be great!” Issei said. ‘Now I’ll have two beautiful women in my house. Oh this is great! My quest for becoming harem king is inching closer to reality!’ He thought with a perverted grin.

Location with Sirzechs and Grayfia:

“Hopeful the day will come when Both Natsu’s and Issei’s power will come in play and protect us all.” Sirzechs said watching his sister ride off with Issei.

“I know you are right Sirzechs-sama but I just wish that horrid day will never come.” Grayfia replied back looking at him.

“You are right Grayfia but we should at least prepare for that day. But I never once thought that we would have theRed Dragon Emperoron our side… I especially didn’t think aDragonslayerfrom another dimension would come to rely on us either. Fate sure is a twisted thing.” Sirzechs said pondering about the last few days.

“It sure is… Sirzechs.” Grayfia said.
