Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, if I did that entire ordeal in chapter 414 wouldn't have happened, and this wouldn't exist.

That was it? Igneel was... dead? Natsu had finally seen him after so long, and now he was just dead? He stared at the spot in the sky where his father had been only moments before, except the dragon wasn't there anymore. Natsu continued to look at the sky, hoping, willing, Igneel to come back. His green eyes gleamed with sadness.

It couldn't be true.

"Ig... neel..." he whispered in dispair.

No! Igneel was stronger than that! He could've taken Acnologia on any day! He couldn't be dead because... because... Natsu had finally found him. It just couldn't be real, it wasn't real... right? It was all just some horrible nightmare, this whole day was just a nightmare, and all he had to do was wake up. Igneel wouldn't be there when he woke up, sure, but at least he'd be alive.

Igneel's last words repeated themselves in Natsu's head. "The days I've spent with you were the best of my life. You gave me the power to love humans." It was like they were taunting him, telling him that, oh yes, all of this was real, that he couldn't escape the fact that Igneel was dead.

"Igneel!" Natsu cried out. Tears began streaming down his face, a complete river of emotions that he had only experienced a few times in his life. "Igneel! You can't be dead! Igneel!" They were supposed to catch up, be happy, like they were all those fourteen years ago. "Dad!" His roars of grief filled the whole of Tartoros' base, heard by all, even if it was a faint call from him, everyone heard it.

The pink-haired boy dropped to his knees, his roars getting louder, stronger, until he had no more energy to scream his sorrow out to the world, until his throat grew raw with pain, until he lost his voice competely.

After a good few minutes of yelling, he began to quiet down. The tears continued to flow from his now-red eyes,they rolled down his cheeks, some falling into his mouth, some rolling off his chin on the ground or his neck. His voice had gone by now, making his once loud sobs nothing more than a silent weep.

Subconsciensly, his hand traveled up to the scaly scarf wrapped around his tear-streaked neck. Natsu took an end of the article of clothing in one hand, and with the other, wiped his eyes so that he could look at it clearly and not through his eyes that blurred with oncoming tears. That scarf, now frayed with the long years of almost never being taken off, always used to be a hope that he would find his father. Even back then, when Igneel first disappeared, it was all he had left of him, and, once again, it was the only memento he had left.

He looked up to find the one responsible.

Acnologia.

The shock now gone, anger clouded his judgement, his demeanor changing to something much darker.

The dragon slayer strained his voice to come out once again, "Dad... I-I will... kill him."

A/N: Hey, guys! I actually started writing this after chapter 414 was released because I can see Natsu's reaction to this so easily. I think something similar to this will happen in the next chapter. Sorry it's kinda short though, I just wanted to get this out before chapter 415 came out because well, it just happened! Also, I'm gonna be honest, I was lazy winter break, and am kinda under the influence of writer's block for "Is This Real?", so it might be a while until I get chapter 8 out. Anyway, I do hope you enjoyed, please favorite and review because following it would be pointless, this is just a one-shot.

Cop, signing out.
