Natsu ran through the the streets, her mental map acting as a guide, cutting down any who stood in her way. She had her doubts at first but now she was certain, these weren't Marines. They were Mercenaries, guns for hire sometimes even worse than pirates.
Natsu had to make her way over the wall to make sure no more of them entered the town.
"We got incoming boys!"
There was a large group in front of her, more of the Mercs. About 20 of them brandishing swords and clubs
"Take her out!"
They charged at her. Unsheathing her blade, Natsu began her attack. One by one the Mercs were cut down unable to match her skill. As she defeated the last of them she heard something... odd. Clapping? She turned towards the sound to see a man walking and, apparently, applauding her.
"Magnificent", the man said eloquently,"Absolutely Magnificent. I had no idea the dirt hole contained someone of your skill and grace! it must be my lucky day!"
Natsu Stared at the man, bewildered, how could such a flamboyant man ever become a mercinary? "Who are you?", she asked harshly," What do you want?"
"Oh, where are my manners." The man bowed. "I am the second captain of our little entourage," he stood straight and drew his blade, a double edge short sword, and pointed it at Natsu, "And i'm here to kill you."
