Fairy Tail: Strongest Creature

Su Yan's eyes glinted coldly as he looked down at the traffickers. "Using Fairy Tail's name to deceive and traffic people… Tell me, Bora, how do you want to die?"

From his bystander perspective as a fan, it was one thing. But now, as a Fairy Tail mage, the guild's reputation was sacred to him. Every member would defend it with their life. For these impostors to tarnish that name was unforgivable.

Lucy's eyes widened. "Wait… are you saying he's not a real Fairy Tail wizard?"

Bora scoffed, forcing a confident sneer. "And who are you to accuse me of that, kid? Got any proof?"

Su Yan shrugged. "No need. My word is the only proof you need."

"Tch, arrogant brat! Burn!" Bora's hand ignited, launching a blazing fireball straight at Su Yan.

"Watch out!" Lucy cried.

But before Su Yan could move, another figure leapt in front of him, taking the full blast of flames.

"What the—?" The traffickers stared in shock.

From within the fire, a voice grumbled, "This is disgusting! Are you really a Fire Wizard?"

The flames died down, revealing Natsu's unimpressed face as he swallowed the last of the fire. "I've never tasted fire this bad!"

"WHAT?!" Bora and his men stumbled back in shock. "He… he ate the flames?!"

Lucy's jaw dropped. "Natsu…? And Happy?!"

"Hey, Lucy!" Happy called from the air, where he was holding Natsu aloft. "Nice to see ya!"

"You again?" Bora's face twisted in recognition of Natsu from their earlier encounter.

Natsu grinned, flexing his fists. "That's right. I'm Natsu, from Fairy Tail! I don't know who you think you are, but you're not one of us!"

"Wait… Natsu's a Fairy Tail wizard?" Lucy's surprise turned to awe as she realized she was standing among true members of the guild she had admired for so long.

Seeing the guild's emblem on Natsu's shoulder, the traffickers froze in terror. Fairy Tail's reputation was no joke, and they'd been impersonating its members. Fearfully, one of the henchmen whispered, "B-Bora… these are the real Fairy Tail wizards…"

"Idiot! Don't use my real name!" Bora barked.

Happy chimed in, "Bora… Red Bora. He was kicked out of the Giant's Nose Guild years ago."

Realization dawned on Lucy's face. "So… he was pretending to be with Fairy Tail all along…"

Bora's face contorted with rage. He hadn't anticipated running into actual Fairy Tail wizards. But he wasn't about to back down. If he had to, he'd kill them all to silence them.

"Kill them!" he snarled. The traffickers raised their guns, pointing them at Natsu and Su Yan.

"Look out!" Lucy shouted.

Happy pulled Natsu into the air, dodging the barrage of bullets, while Su Yan raised his mace and casually deflected the shots. Each bullet bounced off, leaving no trace on him.

"H-How is he even human?" Lucy's voice was barely a whisper as she watched in stunned amazement.

Without waiting, Su Yan lunged forward, his mace crashing down upon the nearest traffickers. He showed no mercy as one after another fell to the ground, some unconscious, others writhing in pain.

"AHHHH!" The traffickers' screams filled the air as Su Yan dealt out swift and brutal justice.

Bora, still clinging to some semblance of control, grit his teeth and summoned his magic. "You think you're tough? I used to be in a real guild!"

He brandished a fiery whip, cracking it at Su Yan. "Red Flame Whip!"

With a simple swing, Su Yan shattered the whip's flames, leaving Bora staring in disbelief.

"Fine, you asked for it!" Bora snarled. "Red Flame Typhoon!" He conjured a spiraling tornado of fire, but before it could reach Su Yan, Natsu leapt in front of the flames, inhaling deeply as he devoured the typhoon.

"Thanks for the meal!" Natsu said with a grin, fire swirling around him as his energy surged.

Natsu took a breath, then unleashed a fierce blast. "Fire Dragon's Roar!"

A wave of roaring flames surged forward, sweeping up the remaining traffickers in its path and leaving a trail of destruction.

"AHHHH!" The traffickers who were caught in the attack collapsed to the floor, their eyes wide with terror.

Bora broke into a cold sweat, barely dodging the attack. One of his henchmen, pale as a sheet, pointed at Natsu with a trembling finger. "B-Bora… this kid… he's the real Fire Dragon of Fairy Tail!"

Lucy's eyes shone with awe. "So this is Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon…"

Then the henchman looked over at Su Yan, his voice breaking. "Long black hair… the mace… he… he's the one they call… Su Yan."

Bora's confidence crumbled as he stared at Su Yan's unreadable expression.

"B-Bora… we're… we're finished!"
