"Again?" Persona began. "This is the second time you have failed to do your job Natsume."

They were currently in the Dangerous Ability room. Other members of that group stood amidst this scene. Natsume, on the other hand, was deep in thoughts. He didn't even bother to pay Persona any mind of attention as he rambled off on his failed missions.

"You look like a person who never wants to see your sister again," Persona said. Natsume flinched as those words left Persona's mouth. "May I remind you, you work for--." Just as he was about to finish that sentence, a sudden burst of energy sent the two doors of the room flying open. As the members look to see the cause of it, they were quite intrigued that it was Natsu and Lucy with the blue cat.

"Hey! You bastards!!!" Natsu hollered. He sprinted up towards Persona and grabbed him by the collar. "Are you the one making these kids do all of this?!?!"

Persona only smiled as he places his hand on Natsu's shoulder. That simple touch caused Natsu to bounce back as he realized the purple marks seeping through his arms.

"Natsu!!" Lucy and Happy ran towards Natsu. Everyone else watches in shock. This was the first time that a person grabbed Persona by the collar.

"Hey! Spiky head!" Natsu said, "Fight me!" He ignored the marks on his shoulder.

"I don't think you want to mess with me kid. In a few minutes that poison will seep into your skin and to your heart. You will die. You should probably look for that blue haired little girl."

"hahahaHAAHAHAHA!" Natsu laughed. What the hell is wrong with him Lucy thought. His laugh was so creepy. "HAHAHAHAHA!" As he continued to laugh like an idiot, smoke was streaming out of the infected area in his skin. He was standing with his hands on his abdomen in a trophy pose.

"Look Lucy! He's burning the poison off!" Happy said happily.

"You're right!"

Persona watched the dragon slayer as he laughed a triumph laugh. Everyone was once again shocked as this was the first time they saw this. Was he even human?

"Now fight me!"

"Wait Natsu!" Lucy interjected. "We came here to talk." Natsu stopped his movements as he showed small signs of pouting because of the stop of a fight.

"Talk?" Persona questioned.

"Why are you making small kids go on dangerous missions," Lucy asked firmly. "This is a school isn't it, these kids shouldn't be fighting. This school's purpose is to protect these Alice users who are targeted by people because of their natural gift. You who are using their gifts in such a way is not acceptable." Lucy and Natsu glared at Persona. Even Happy was glaring while holding a fish in his hand in a bat like position.

"These kids are dangerous users," he started. "Some even committed grave crimes like burning down their entire town and killing many people," Persona smiled as he looked at Natsume. "We don't need outsiders telling us what to do."

"Damn you!" Natsu lunged forward with flames wrapped around his hands and just as he was about to strike, a litter girl stood in front of Persona. It was the ice user. Natsu had no choice but to miss and send the flames flying elsewhere.

"Please do not hurt Persona.." the little girl said in a soft voice. Natsu looked in confusion while a shadow of scarlet hair appeared behind him.

"Natsu," the voice said sternly. He shivered as he could recognize that voice anywhere. It was Erza. Happy leaped into Lucy's arms as he shakes in fear.

"o-oh, Erza-sama!" Natsu said in a docile voice.

"Stupid flame brains," Gray walked into the room with Wendy and Carla. Erza grabbed Natsu by the collar and proceeded to drag him out.

"Sorry for the intrusion. Please forget this." Erza said. Although she was apologizing there was no effort in her voice to hide the despise and hatred towards Persona. Erza and the others heard their conversation just moments before they entered. Although she wanted to do something like everyone else, she knew that if Natsu continued to do what he did--the school officials will get involve and fairy tail's name will be tarnish. The group started walking towards the broken doors that were broken thanks to Natsu. The dangerous ability members watched the backs of the fairy tail members as they exited the room.
