[/Card]
[Notes: A wood mage; her magic allows her to form wood into whatever shape she desires in an instant. As such, she's been working non-stop recently, helping to reconstruct the Guild. She also has a liking for unusual expressions. Recently, she got a haircut, and she explained this to her nakama by saying, "I had some of my hair amputated". Other examples: "eating a meal" becomes "feeding her stomach"; "sleeping" becomes "enduring a period of defencelessness", etc.]

Gérard: That was your best shot?

9
Gérard: I was interested in sampling the sheer destructive power of a Dragon Slayer before I annihilated it forever... // ...but if this is all you've got, there's no point even worrying.
Natsu: WHAT DID YOU SAY~~~~~~?!!!!
Gérard: It wasn't very nice of you to interrupt my ceremony. // I think I'll grind you to dust with my Heavenly Magic.

10
Gérard: Meteor!!!!
Natsu: !!! // Ngahh!

11
Natsu: Ngh! // Why, you!!! // Nghh!

12
Natsu: Shit... // He's too fast!!!! // I can't rely on my eyes to track him like this... // Scent... // Presence... // Sound... // I have to predict his movements... // Concentrate!!! // Concentrate...

13
Natsu: THERE!!! // ...He got even faster?!!

14
Gérard: I'm afraid you won't be hitting me with your attacks any more.
Natsu: Aaaaghhhhhh!!!
Gérard: Time to finish this. // I'll show you what true destructive magic looks like. // Judgement of Seven Stars...

15
Gérard: Grand Chariot!!!!!
[TN: As in the French name for the Plough. Or as I believe Americans insist on calling it, the "Big Dipper". Whatever. You know the constellation I'm talking about :p Oh, look, his attack has a French name, just like he does.]

16
Gérard: The destructive force of this magic is equivalent to being struck by a meteor... // ...I'm impressed your body held its shape.

17
Gérard: At any rate, I think I may have gone a little over the top with that one... / I don't want to go causing any more damage to the R-System... // The magic is beginning to leak away. // I should hurry. // Now then, Erza... // !

18
Natsu: *pant* / *pant* // *pant* / *pant*
Gérard: ...............

19
Natsu: Heheh... / It hit you... // My attack... // So it's bad for you if this tower... or crystal, or whatever... gets beat up, huh...? // Well, bad luck for you!!!!
Gérard: Stop!!!!
Natsu: Beating stuff up's what we're good at. // Us mages of Fairy Tail.

20
Natsu: Now I'm really pumped up. // ...Even more pumped up than I've been so far!!!!
Gérard: You little brat...............!
