-reposting form another blog- Dear god...you people are, to be frank, sick. Its a fictional character, GET THE F*CK OVER IT. So the story isn't going the way YOU want it to. Guess what? YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE STORY AT ALL. I'd advise you to get off your high horse, and enjoy the story. If you're so bothered by the way its going, STOP READING IT AND GO DO SOMETHING ELSE.

Now as to why he still has the power? As I've said before, the way Fire and Lightning are potrayed as elements in fiction are close enough they can interchange. That and Natsu was locked in time for 7 years, so he'd still have some of the lightning flowing through his system (again, due to the similarity between fire and Lightning).

Now then, just enjoy the story for what it is, don't constantly act like it should be going in a different direction.
