"Does this mean that it was affected by the attack on its neck?" Natsu thought as he looked at its neck.
"Blood is flowing through it, and what's that symbol on it?" Natsu said as he observed it.
The beast began to breathe heavily after what happened.
Natsu made the rope harden as he thought "If I do this, the beast won't feel any pressure pulling its hands together, but it won't be able to separate it, which would make it give up, so that when I use stretch, it won't struggle"
The beast struggled to free its hands but couldn't, suddenly, the beast began flying recklessly.
The beast flew very high up to the clouds as it closed its wings and started falling, facing its hands and tail towards the ground, which meant it was going to land with its front.
This made Natsu unease as he thought, "What does it think it's doing?"
"Don't tell me it's thinking of landing on the ground from this height, cause if it does, we'll both die"
"I'm sure this beast doesn't want to die"
"Yeah, it's just trying to scare me, that's all"
"But just in case it wants to kill itself and me, I need to think of a way out of this" Natsu thought.
Right before they landed on the ground, the beast opened its wings and swooped above the ground, using its hands and tail to hit the ground, causing the ground to break as it continued flying.
Natsu held tight to its feathers as the beast's hands scrubbed the ground, making rocks to fly and hit him as lots of sand poured on him.
The beast later flew up and rotated as it went towards the clouds.
As the beast began to rotate Natsu thought.
"This is bad, I might fly off if this beast rotates for long"
"I'm barely holding on, and the worst part is that the rope is becoming way too tight, and it feels like my hands are about to get split into two"
"Now that I think about it, if I stretch the rope, it would be easy to tie the beast up, with the way it's moving"
"The only problem right now is that, I would only be able to wrap its legs, since the beast hands are lowered down right now"
"Hmmmm, what now? How do I bind this beast?"
"Come to think of it, if I bind this beast right now, I'll die since the beast would stop flying, and the worst part of it is that, we are very high up in the clouds"
"Wait, we are very high in the clouds, and it's still moving up, this means that I should be able to get a good look at the field and know which part I came from" Natsu said as he opened his eyes while holding the beast.
He tried to look around, but it just made him dizzy, since the beast was spinning around.
"Damn this monster, isn't it tired after all this spinning? I'm already dizzy enough, but it's like this beast isn't even dizzy yet" Natsu thought.
They went above the clouds, and after a while, the beast stopped rotating and began to fall.
"Not this again, what is this beast planning this time?" Natsu thought in agony.
The beast was falling sidewards and didn't even act up as its eyes were closed.
"What's happening? Why is this beast falling this way?"
"Wait, don't tell me it's unconscious!!!"
"This is bad, this is really bad!!! What should I do now?"
"Hmmm, think, think, wait, I can bind the beast in a way that would favor me"
"Is this the opportunity that I've been looking for, if so then I think I need to make good use of it"
"But it is currently falling really fast, so how do I get below and above it really fast"
"Well, getting above it is easy since it's falling, but how do I get below it really fast?" Natsu thought.
"Damn, there is no way to get down easily" Natsu said after a while of thinking.
"What should I do? I can't just fall like that, what if the fall wakes the beast up"
"Come to think of it, it's impossible for this beast to survive this kind of fall"
"But I still need to bind it, just in case it wakes up before we land"
"But how do I bind it?"
"If only it was rotating, it would have been easier to tie it"
"Wait!!! That's it!"
"If I can get this beast to rotate, it would be easy for me to bind it" Natsu thought.
"Ahhhhh, how am I going to do that?" Natsu said in frustration.
"Wait, that's it, this could work" Natsu said as he left the beast and shouted "Stretch!"
Natsu flew up and then shouted "ROS!" which shot him downwards towards the beast, and as he was going down he shouted "Stretch!" Which made him go past the beast, and go more down, as he then shouted "ROS!" Which shot him upwards towards the beast, and as he was going up he shouted "Stretch!" Which made him go pass the beast and went above it.
He repeated the action over and over as he tried to swing, which made the beast to start rotating.
As the beast began to rotate, Natsu started changing his direction.
This time, since the beast was rotating, anytime he got close to the beast, he would grab it and throw himself forward.
He first wrapped the beast to its leg region and continued doing his skill, as he wrapped it to its neck region.
Natsu successfully wrapped the beast up on different parts of its body, as he then noticed that he was close to the ground when he went back up.
Natsu flew down, and this time, as he was very close to the ground, he shouted "Harden!" which made the rope stop his fall and suspend him in the air as he then shouted "Stretch!" and fell down.
Natsu landed in a forest full of trees, and as he stood up he ran as far as possible to avoid getting caught in the impact.
As the beast landed, the earth was destroyed as a large amount of sand went really high into the air, as dust began to cover the area.
The scenario was like someone lunched an atomic bomb on the place.
Natsu turned back and saw a large dust cloud heading towards him as he was running inside the forest.
As Natsu was running he saw a stream ahead of him so he ran and jumped into it.
Natsu could feel the force of the impact as the water became really rough.
After a while, the water became calm and coloured a little bit brown due to the dust, as Natsu came out of it and saw lots of broken trees.
He walked down a little and saw that the whole area was destroyed, as you could see the broken trees, and some tree roots pulled out from the ground.
"It destroyed the whole place!!!"
"I know that I'm not that far away from the beast, but this is still terrifying. I'm glad I didn't get caught up in it" Natsu said as he looked around.
"This is a total waste land, there is no tree around this area and the ground is filled with lots of holes" Natsu said as he went towards the beast being shocked to see what happened.
Natsu continued heading towards the beast as he saw a very large and deep hole in the middle of the wasteland.
"Maybe that's where the beast landed" Natsu said as he saw the large hole ahead of him.
The beast was inside the hole covered in a pool of blood.
"Well it's dead" Natsu said as he continued "I guess it for the best, but how am I going to find the exit"
Sigh!!!
"I guess I'll have to figure that out on my own" Natsu said as he slid down and went to untie it.
After Natsu untied it, he cleaned his sweat with his hands and opened the bag and socked the beast inside as he said the magic word.
After he successfully socked the beast inside, he climbed out of the hole and took a deep breath, as he began heading towards the stream.
When Natsu got to the stream, he began following the streams flow direction.
"I don't even know where I'm going, but I need to find a way out of here since I don't have much time" Natsu thought as he was following the stream.
"When I was about to break the force field, I noticed that this forest was surrounded with water"
"Which means that this streams must be artificially made, because when you think of it, the beasts would need to drink water from anywhere"
"The reason for that must be to avoid unnecessary fight between them"
"But the question isn't if I'm right or wrong, the question is if I'm heading towards or away from the exit"
"If only I had eyes in the sky, it would have been easier for me to know if I'm heading the right way or not" Natsu thought as he was swinging through the forest following the stream.
Natsu saw a very tall tree and climbed to the top and looked around but all he could see were other trees and a place where the stream split into three.
"Don't tell me I'm lost" Natsu said in a sad tone as he sighed.
"How am I going to find my way now?"
"How would I know if I'm going the right way or not?"
"To navigate through this forest is going to take serious time and that is something I currently don't have" Natsu said as he looked around and bent his head in frustration and then raised it as he shouted "Damn this Exam!!!"
