Chapter 5 - Fire vs Fire

"TRUE FLAME SLAYER; DOMAIN ART; HELLFIRE!" I yell causing a rain of fire to coat the inside of the void in a 50 foot radius. "Damn, that is a good AOE attack, but it doesn't distinguish friend from foe. Maybe I have a slightly more controlled AOE attack, a tornado that tracks a target maybe..." I mutter. "TRUE FLAME SLAYER; DOMAIN ART; CYCLONE!" A swirling vortex of fire appears 3 feet ahead of me and does a full circle around me before dispersing. "Well, that works. So far I have standard attacks in the form of Strike and Stomp. AOE attacks in the domain series consisting of Cyclone and Hellfire. Then the forbidden arts which are too extreme for regular use in judgement. For now I think these five moves will do just fine." I say.

*RING* *RING* *RING* "It's Sunday 11:50, time to go to the guild!" Serena exclaims a little to loudly.

"Thanks, I'm guessing the shop will be finalized soon and I get credit by doing quests, right?" I ask.

"Yup, your first mission is to beat Natsu with only True Flame Slayer magic but still have it be a close match. The reward will be 10 points, however since the shop is not finished you won't be able to even window shop. Also I predict your body will be able to handle new magic once Natsu leaves to Hargeon in search of Igneel in about 7 years." Serena replies.

"Thanks for the heads up. Send me out if you please." I say and am beamed out immediately. I walk towards the guild and at exactly noon I kick the doors open and yell, "Yo Natsu, ready for our match?"

"Ready as ever!" He shouts running towards me with Happy in tow.

"AYE SIR!" The young exceed exclaims.

"Hey everyone, this will be a match for the ages come on out!" I shout. "Also, we'll need a barrier so we don't destroy anything..." About half the guild follows me into my training spot outside of the pocket dimension. The training area is a clearing with a diameter of about 50 yards. "We may be a couple hundred feet from Magnolia but my most powerful spell can destroy a boulder and leave no trace of it so better safe than sorry, luckily I won't use that as I've dubbed it a forbidden art." I say gaining looks of awe and confusion from the crowd. "Master, is the barrier up?" I ask.

"It is now. Now you may fight in 3... 2... 1... NOW!" Master shouts out and sends a small explosion into the air to signify the start of the match.

"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" Natsu yells.

"Time for my first bite of fire." I say calmly, as the fire arrives I start eating it. "So this is what fire tastes like." I state. The flames where hot in both senses of the term but also nothing like spicy foods as I rather enjoyed the taste.

"What! How!" I hear Natsu and the guild question.

"Easy, I took Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and combined it with other similar magic, I call it True Slayer Magic." I state nonchalantly. "Also since it's far from perfect you should be able to eat my flame, albeit uncomfortably and will likely make you fall into a short coma..."

"FIRE DRAGON; IRON FIST!" Natsu yells while charging at me with his fist a flame. I merely sidestep and chop the back of his neck and make him stumble to the ground.

"TRUE FLAME SLAYER; STRIKE!" I yell punching towards his back. He nimbly rolls to the side and kicks the inside of my knee and using his momentum to knock me down and bring himself back up in the process.

"FIRE DRAGON; IRON FIST!" Natsu yells punching towards my face. I raise my hand up to catch his fist and twist his arm causing Natsu to roll over to the other side of me. I roll up to a standing position and raise my foot.

"TRUE FLAME SLAYER; STOMP!" I yell stomping the ground as Natsu rolls away and jumps to avoid my attack.

"FIRE DRAGON; ROAR!" He yells.

"Have you forgotten I can eat your flames?" I ask while eating the incoming flames.

"Crap!" Natsu exclaims.

"Maybe I should end this now, the fight has gone on long enough." I say. "TRUE FLAME SLAYER; DOMAIN ART; CYCLONE!" I yell as I summon a flaming cyclone that tracks Natsu's movements

"FIRE DRAGON; IRON FIST!" Natsu yells dispersing the cyclone.

"Wow, you actually can do that. How about this. TRUE FLAME SLAYER; DOMAIN ART; HELLFIRE!" I yell causing fire to rain down from the sky.

"Damn, think Natsu think." Natsu exclaims, "Ha, I got it!" he picks up clumps of dirt and throws it at each bit of fire that would hit him dispersing the flames as the dirt turns to ash.

"Wow, I didn't see that coming!" I hear from the crowd.

"Okay, none of our attacks seem to hit each other, should I pull out my forbidden art." I say.

"Go ahead, hit me with your best shot!" Natsu taunts.

"TRUE FLAME SLAYER; FORB-"

"STOP! Iskandor has won, if he finished that attack the barrier wouldn't survive, much less Natsu. The magic power coming from you was intense, you probably could become one of the ten wizard saints!" Master interrupts.

"Fair enough." I say.

*DING* "MISSION COMPLETE 'BEAT NATSU'" Serena says.

"Hey, let's see the forbidden art!" Natsu hollers.

"Sure, stand back, I'll go at half power, I was going at a quarter of its power originally." I say.

"WHAT!" The entire guild yells shocked.

"Yeah, I was holding back, what did you expect, I only used my new magic that I'm unfamiliar with. I only was able to use it earlier this week." I say.

"WHAT!" The entire guild yells shocked, again.

"Anyways, here it goes. TRUE FLAME SLAYER; FORBIDDEN ART; JUDGEMENT!" I yell causing a 100 foot cone come from my mouth. Every tres, rock, plant and animal simply disappear after the flames die down.

"HOLY SHIT!" The entire guild says shocked. I just walk to my house that's between here and the guild with a smug look on my face.
