Flame and Wind is the 18th chapter of Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail.

Full Summary
Lucy, Gray, Erza and Kageyama ride in a Magic four wheeler going after Natsu, happy and Erigor. Kageyama asks why they are bringing him along, thinking they are going to hold him hostage, but Lucy replies they had to bring him since no one was left in town. At that moment the car stops because Erzas sight is getting blurry and she is running out of Magic power.

Meanwhile, Natsu and Erigor are in the middle of a fight,and Erigor is wondering what happened to the magic wall of wind. Then quickly Erigor attacks Natsu with a blast of wind that blows Natsu off the bridge. Natsu then uses his flames as a grappling hook to get back up. Erigor is wondering what just happened when Natsu starts to attack continuously and Natsu manages to land a Fire dragons claw in erigors face, getting desperate Erigor fly's up to avoid another attack and counters it with Storm wave. Erigor say's it's over trying to hit Natsu with a fatal blow, but Natsu is able to stop it with his arm and counters with a Roar of the fire dragon, only to miss Erigor who is flying again. Erigor says that he may have underestimated Natsu and uses a technique called Storm mail which covers his entire body with wind.

Elsewhere, Kageyama says that Natsu must already be dead by now, saying that flame cannot break through Erigors Storm mail, going back to Natsu his flames get easily extinguished every time it comes into contact with Erigor. With a laugh erigor reveals that flames simply cannot defeat wind.
