Chapter #6

Fire Vs. Sweat

    by: Dark_Lord Author IconMail Icon
As Natsu ran across the seemingly endless landscape of Romeo’s room he heard a series of booms in the distance. The young titan was lowering himself to the floor and getting into a prone position. Once ready, Romeo started to do push ups; raising and lowering his fit body off the floor at a quick pace. Natsu didn’t think much of this at first; he was too busy trying to reach the giant before he moved again. Natsu ran as fast as he could (which was pretty darn fast), but Romeo seemed to remain miles away no matter the distance he covered.

“Gaaaarrhh!! This sucks!” Natsu growled in frustration as he pumped his leg muscles as much as he could. He hated being so small; so insignificant and weak. The Dragon Slayer continued to roar in anger and frustration the entire time he ran. By the time Natsu finally reached the mountainous boy he was already past three hundred push-ups. His body was just now starting to sweat; salty dew forming on his face and torso. He wasn’t the only one sweating; Natsu was forced to take a breather after running what seemed like the length of a couple cities. “F-Finally made it.” Natsu mumbled as he wiped off his sweating face and looked up at the godly mage before him. “Alright…this is good. With his torso so close like this I have a better shot at getting his attention.” The flame mage grinned toothily and lit one of his fists ablaze. “Get ready to really feel the burn, Romeo!” Natsu exclaimed as he ran directly underneath the exercising behemoth. While the heaving chest of the titan came close to the floor each time he lowered; it didn’t touch it and thus allowed plenty of room for the minuscule Natsu to move around.

Once he was underneath Romeo’s midsection Natsu got to work. The rosy haired mage formed a large fireball in his hand and threw it up at the giant. The tiny speck of fire slightly illuminated the shadowed space under Romeo…but that’s all it did. Natsu’s flames never made it to Romeo’s skin; the fireball was extinguished via the thin layer of sweat that had formed across his body. Natsu wasn’t aware of this, however, and lobbed a few more at random places. Each one was as ineffective as the last; snuffed out by the younger boy’s perspiration. Natsu’s aggravation grew with each failed attempt, but he refused to give up. As Natsu tossed fireball after fireball at Romeo’s abs and pectorals, Romeo was unintentionally fighting back. As the boy reached four hundred push-ups his body sweated ever more; droplets of that sweat fell from his skin and hit the wooden floor below. To Natsu these mere drops of fluid were like bombs; exploding on impact and splashing the area with a hot wetness. Natsu leaped to dodge these explosions; but a few times he wasn’t quick enough and got doused. Soon Natsu’s pink hair had turned damp and flat and his clothes were so soaked they clung to his own muscled torso.

“I’ve had it!” cried Natsu as he got to his feet after being drenched in another helping of Romeo’s fragrant body fluid. The shrunken wizard glared up at Romeo’s torso and clenched his fists. “Fire Dragon’s…” Natsu’s cheeks started to inflate as he filled them with fire. He pointed his mouth straight up and then…”ROAR!!” Natsu opened his maw and released a massive beam of scorching flames into the air. In actuality; the beam was terribly thin compared to Romeo’s size, but it was still powerful enough to make it past the teen’s “barrier” of sweat. As powerful as the attack was, however, it left not but a mark on Romeo’s young figure. The only reaction the titan had was a quick scratch to the area Natsu had hit; Romeo hadn’t even paused in his exercising. Once again Natsu roared in anger as he fell to his knees and slammed his fists against the hard floor. “Nothing’s working! None of my attacks even register with him!” The older teen knew he had even stronger spells in his arsenal, but the truth of the matter was he was low on magical power. He didn’t want to admit it, but perhaps the best thing to do now was find a place to hide and wait for…

Natsu’s thoughts were interrupted by a strange sound in the air. The tiny wizard gazed up at Romeo’s face and noticed the young teenager was breathing much louder. His push-ups were also getting significantly slower. At that precise moment Natsu’s eyes widened in horror and he finally realized the danger he was in at this puny size.

“Oh crap! Crap crap crap!!” Natsu, completely forgetting his fatigue, stood up and raced in a random direction. He needed to get out of the shadow Romeo was casting NOW. Unfortunately, the Fire Dragon Slayer was much too late. He simply wasn’t covering enough ground no matter how hard he pushed himself. The humongous Romeo lifted himself off the ground one more time before reaching his limit. His toned arms stopped supporting him and he let his body collapse to the ground. Natsu, no where near safety, looked up just in time to see Romeo’s _____ falling upon him.
