Long Awaited Rematch: Jason vs Natsu Dragneel

(Third Person POV)

"BEGINNN!!!!"

The announcer was immediately teleported away from the arena via someone's teleportation magic. 

As soon as he disappeared, Natsu lunged at Jason with a flaming fist with a wicked grin. 

"Here I come!!!" He bellowed as he reared his fist back

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!!!" 

He swung his fist and attempted to hit Jason who merely dodged out of the way and stuck him with a palm strike into the chest. 

"Wha?!" Natsu said as he reeled back

Gray saw this, "Was that his physical strength?" He asked, "That was an awful strong palm strike if it sent Natsu reeling. He didn't use his Martial Arts magic.." 

Igora nodded, "He did not." He said, "That was purely physical." 

Natsu looked at Jason who was merely smiling slightly, "You..." He said as he raised his flame-engulfed fist, "Let's try this again!!' 

Suddenly, Jason appeared in front of Natsu and kicked him in the face, sending him flying.

"OHHH!!" The announcer bellowed, "Jason lands two back-to-back hits on Natsuuu!!!" 

This caused the crowd to explode with excitement. They didn't expect the veteran mage Natsu to be the one that's struck first. 

Natsu landed on his feet as he lunged at Jason again. He covered both his fists in flames as he charged at him. 

"Ohhh!!!" Natsu bellowed

He went to punch Jason who dodged all of his punches with relative ease. The more Natsu swung his punches, the more Jason dodged, narrowly avoiding the flames as the heat merely grazed his cheeks. 

Natsu then threw a flame-enhanced kick at Jason's face who simply dodge and jumped out of the way. 

"Is Jason on the defensive now?!?!" The announcer said through the loudspeakers, "Natsu is unloading blow after blow, but none of them are connecting!!!" 

Natsu scowled, "Damn." He said, "What's with you?! You didn't do this with Laxus!" 

Jason then raised his arm and gestured at Natsu to come at him, "Try harder." He said with a slight smirk

"Oh really?" He said, "I'll show you!!!" 

Natsu then lunged at him again, going for a punch. As Jason dodged it, Natsu pivoted and swung his other fist as he charged up flames on it. 

Jason merely blocked the fist as flames exploded and caused a shockwave. 

"OHHH!!!" The announcer yelled, "A direct hit from Natsu!! But Jason blocked it!!!" 

Jason then kicked Natsu in the stomach and pushed him off as the dragon slayer was sent reeling. 

"Gahh!" Natsu grunted, "Damn!!" 

Jason then lunged at him and punched him with a left hook to his cheek, planting him to the ground. 

"Ohhh!!" the announcer said, "Straight to the ground!! Natsu's been brought down!!" 

Natsu looked up at Jason who was smiling slightly. 

"You're underestimating me!!!" He growled as he jumped up and went for a punch

Suddenly, Natsu then fell face-first into the ground. He struggled to get up as an invisible force was keeping him on the ground while it began to crack. 

From the stands, Kagura noticed the shift in Jason's magic power. 

"Gravity!" She said, "But it's on a much more powerful level than mine..." 

"Oh?" Jason said as Natsu looked up at him, "Who's underestimating who?" 

Natsu scowled as he suddenly summoned flames from his hands, "Screw this!!!" He said, "Ohhh!!!" 

The ground below him exploded with flames as he was propelled upwards. This caused a shockwave that staggered him a bit as he covered his face from the flames. 

"Take this!!!" Natsu said as he was above him

He engulfed his foot in a massive amount of flames. 

"Fire Dragon's Claw!!!" 

He brought his foot down, connecting with Jason's head as it forced it down. This caused a massive explosion of flames as the ground beneath Jason shattered. 

The crowd exploded with cheering, excited to see Natsu land a direct and successful blown. 

"Direct hit!!" The announcer bellowed, "This time, the attack properly connected!! Is Jason hurt?!?!"

Igora chuckled, "It'll take more than this to hurt Jason. " She said crossing her arms, "The squirt needs to take it up a notch." 

Back in the arena, Natsu landed on the ground in front of Jason who was buckled over, the flames dispersing. He then engulfed his left fist in flames as he lunged at him. 

"Eat this!!" He said as he hit Jason with a left hook, "You bastard!!" 

The flame-engulfed fist connected, staggering Jason as the flames exploded. Natsu was combusting the flames upon impact for more firepower. This was something that surprised even Jason. 

Natsu looked at Jason, whose cheek was slightly bruised and burnt. 

He looked at Natsu with a smile, "You happy?" He said, "That felt good, eh?" 

Natsu frowned, "Huh?" 

Jason patted his coat, "Back when we first met, I hit you with that sucker punch." He said, "The Magic and Mind Sealing Fist. You didn't expect it and I beat you with it. Two hits that brought you down." 

Natsu scowled, "Yea, I remember that." He said, "And I remember why I attacked you." 

As they said this, Lucy who was sitting on the stands next to Erza and Levy, merely blushed slightly as she looked at this with a bit of concern. 

"I did the same to Gajeel." Jason said, "And let me tell you, I haven't used that spell that much since then. So I ask you, did those two clean hits feel good?" 

Natsu readied a stance, "They did." He said, "Why?" 

Jason gave him a slight smirk, "They're the only ones I'll allow." He said as he released a dark and powerful aura, "Get your ass ready, Natsu. You better keep up." 

The crowd then began to shift in nervousness, they weren't used to this kind of feeling. Many of the spectators knew that Jason was now about to get serious, most of the Fairy Tail mages included. 

Mavis saw this and slightly frowned, "Jason...." She said, "Don't go too hard on him..." 

As he released his aura, he raised his right arm, engulfing it in black flames. 

Natsu's eyes widened as this happened, "That...!" He said

Suddenly, Jason lunged with crazy speed and punched Natsu squared in the chest. 

"Flame God's Fist." 

As the blow connected, black flames erupted and caused an explosion that sent Natsu flying. The Dragon Slayer crashed against the barrier as he bounced off of it and hit the ground hard. 

"Agghh!!!" He cried out in pain

The crowd erupted with a shocked gasp. Many were surprised to see Jason wield black flames as his right arm was engulfed in them. Others weren't so surprised, they were aware of Jason's impressive arsenal that made him a terrifying opponent. 

Natsu got on his knees as his body was slightly charred, "Damn..." He said as smoke emanated from his body, "What the hell was that power?" 

Gray widened his eyes, "Natsu got burned?!" He exclaimed

Happy covered his mouth, "That's not good!" 

Igora nodded, "I'm afraid he's at a disadvantage.." She said, "Jason has activated his Flame God Slayer Magic. In terms of hierarchy, the flames of a god are automatically superior to that of a Fire Dragon. I'd be impressed if the boy can overcome them." 

Back on the arena, Jason looked at Natsu who got back onto his feet and patted his clothes. 

"You ready?" Jason asked, "It's about to get real." 

Natsu smirked, "Oh really?" He said as he engulfed his fists in flames, "I'm more than ready!!!" 

"I'm getting fired up!!"
