Natsu Dragneel vs. Zalty (Ultear Milkovich)

is a battle fought between Mage of Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel and Mage, Zalty.

Prologue
After Gray Fullbuster interrupts the fight between Natsu and Lyon Bastia, the temple shudders and was apparently returned to its original form. Zalty walks in through the hole in the wall and tells Lyon that since the moon will show soon, he reformed the temple. Natsu was very angry because tilting the temple took him a long time and both he and Gray ask what did he do, only to be ignored. This angered Natsu even more and so he gave chase to the little man and told Gray to take care of Lyon and to not disgrace the name of Fairy Tail.

Battle
Natsu is following Zalty through the temple and tells him to wait up, but he uses his Arc of Time Magic to change the time of the ceiling to the future and make it crumble on top of Natsu, but Natsu blows the pieces away with a kick on flames. Zalty changes the time of the ceiling again but this time to the past and restore it the way it was. Natsu asks him what Magic he is using, Zalty responds that it is a type of Lost Magic like Natsu's Dragon Slayer Magic and then disappears.

Natsu finds Zalty under the temple, where Deliora is incased with Iced Shell. Natsu attacks Zalty by covering his whole body in flames and tells him to burn. Zalty asks Natsu how did he found him and he replies that his sense of smell is excellent and that Zalty smelled like a woman's fragrance. Zalty laughs and says that he really has to revive Deliora, but Natsu tells him to not even try and that it was too late. Zalty asks him why that is and Natsu responds that Gray will take care of Lyon and he would take care of him. Zalty asks him if that was so, Natsu looks up at Deliora and sees the Moon Drip ritual being performed. Zalty says that is weal with only one person doing it but they already had enough. The ice in which Deliora is incased starts melting and Natsu runs to try to stop the guy doing the ritual, but Zalty stops him by breaking the ground beneath Natsu. Zalty tells Natsu that he won't let him run away and that it was a mistake coming after him.

Natsu starts attacking Zalty with his Fire Dragon Slayer Magic and Zalty tells him that he would just accelerate the melting of the ice. Natsu tells him that he would take care of him first and then take care of the guy doing the ritual. Zalty tells him that he surprised at how fast Natsu can think in midst of a battle. Deliora wakes up of his sleeping state and Zalty is happy, but Natsu isn't. Natsu says that he is tired of wasting time and here he comes and Zalty hits him with a flying Orb. Zalty brings the Orb around to try to hit him again, Natsu destroys it with a punch, Zalty restores it and hits Natsu with it. Zalty explains his Arc of Time Magic and how it can manipulate an object's time.

Zalty changes the Orb's time into the future and attacks Natsu with it a lot of times at the same time. Natsu breaks it again, Zalty says that it is useless, he restores it again and hits Natsu again. Natsu tries to hit it again, but Zalty stops it in the air and says that he can even stop thee object's time. Natsu asks if it doesn't work on humans, and Zalty responds that he is right, that it doesn't work on any creature, that is why he can't melt the ice since the ice is actually Ur. Natsu asks Zalty what is his true objective, but he just laughs saying that he is no match for Natsu. Zalty says that Lyon is no match for Deliora and Natsu asks him if he was going to beat it. Zalty says no and that he is actually trying to make Deliora his.
