Disclaimer: Sorry I don't own Fairy Tail or any of the characters, I do own the personalities tho ;) MWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA TAKE THAT HIRO MASHIMA :P.
Please note, that this story does indeed contain spoilers to the manga from chapter 416. So if you aren't caught up I don't recommend reading this.
Anyways enjoy the story ;)
Natsu was walking back from Zeref's Kingdom, after speaking to him and hearing multiple shocking truths. He didn't know who he was anymore.
Natsu learned that he was the ultimate demon all along, E.N.D! He died 400 years ago and now he's only alive because Zeref retained his body; not to mention Zeref, the black wizard was his real brother!
He had multiple options, he felt he should either suicide, stay and keep it secret till Lucy, Gray, Erza or Gramps learned the truth. Or leave Fairy Tail and join Zeref.
Shockingly, Natsu decided he didn't belong in Fairy Tail no more, and was going to join forces with Zeref. He was now going to the guild to announce he was leaving. He felt that mostly sick in his stomach because he fell in love with a particular ice mage.
That's right, Natsu Dragneel The Dragon Slayer...no….E.N.D. fell in love with his rival he's known since he was a kid. Gray Fullbuster.
Natsu shed a few tears from these thoughts of Gray as when he approched at the door of Fairy Tails guild hall.
"Let's make this quick…"He muttered.
Natsu opened the door quickly and ran in with a look as if someone died right to the center of the guild hall.
Natsu was about to speak but felt nervous since everyone was looking at him with a worried or confused look. Even Cana stopped drinking her giant barrel of beer she was so suprised.
"Damn it, no going back now" he thought.
"Listen everyone!" Natsu began with a loud yell for everyone to hear. He had there attention. "I don't know how to say this but, I'm quitting the guild, I have no intention specifically, I just found a new route to follow." He said in his normal tone of voice.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT!" Everyone screamed in shock.
Gray, Lucy, Erza, Laxus, Elfman, Mirajane, Makarov, Freed, Gajeel, Levy, Jet, Droy, Juvia, Cana, (She spit & spilled her beer all over Macao) Macao, Max, Laki, Evergreen, Bickslow, Happy, Carla, Wendy, and Romeo all froze in shock.
Suddenly then, someone familiar picked up Natsu by his scarf. "Is this some kind of sick joke Natsu!" Gray said. "No, it is not Gray." Natsu spoke calmly with ease, and then Gray let go of his scarf still wanting answers.
"THEN WHY, WHAT CHANGED YOUR MIND, WHAT ABOUT ALL OUR GOOD MEMORIES AND ALL THE GOOD TIMES WE'VE HAD TOGETHER!" Gray yelled at him with sheer anger and sadness clutching onto his sleeved shirt now, holding for dear life.
"Once again, as I said, I'm turning on a new leaf, a new path for me to reach, and being in this guild won't get me anywhere near it." Natsu said maturely.
"I…alright….I see how it is." Gray was at a loss for words. calming down but not much, now finally few tears falling that no one saw. Natsu freed himself from his grip with ease, then watching Gray walk away, fist clutched tight, walking away with a worried Juvia going after him. Natsu felt guilt from his long time rival.
"Well then, I suppose I'll be heading off then…." Natsu was turning back around to leave the guild when a familiar armored hand touched his shoulders.
"Not so fast." Erza interrupted in fustration. "Ugh, come on Erza, don't tell me your gonna keep me from leaving, too." Natsu complained getting slightly annoyed.
"Would it be surprising if I would, your a dear friend of mine you know Natsu." Erza said softly.
"I'm just gonna tell you exactly what I told Gray so please Erza, don't make me say it again." He begged.
"Alright fine I see i'am not going to get anywhere with you, but first before I let you go, you need to hear our final rules when someone leaves the guild. REQUIP!" Erza before requipping into her Banner Armor (Forgot the name sorry :P)
"Oh man, I never thought I'd be parting like this." Natsu chuckled.
Erza got serious as she began to speak. "Rule 1, You must never reveal sensitive information about Fairy tail to anyone for as long as you live. Rule 2, You must not use former contacts you've met being in the guild for your own personal gain. And finally Rule 3…..You must treat every day as if it was your last, Never forget your friends, Remember every memory you've had here, cherish them, never forget them and your friends for as long as you LIVE!" Erza finally finished running to Natsu giving him a quick hug as she was crying on Natsu shoulder as he hugged her back.
"I will, I promise." Natsu said finally crying himself.
Happy was about to go with him as Natsu stopped him, gave him a quick hug then told him he had to stay here with the guild. Happy understood sadly crying seeing his buddy go away.
Natsu turned back now, finally walking away from the guild as Lucy came to give him a quick hug and kiss, crying as well, then pulled away and ran back to where Gray was sitting wondering why he was suddenly blushing.
Natsu finally left the guild, went home got his important stuff like pictures,clothes, and packed them away. Then, he found an abandon allyway making sure no one was close by.
"Now then, off to Zeref" Natsu said, quickly using his curse power to activate wings and fly to the Dark Guild Kingdom of the Alverez Empire.
At the Palace of the Alverez Empire, Natsu flew in by himself through one of the buildings stone arcs.
"What! Who are you and How the hell did you…" a man yelled through the stone walls shocked to see a random human man with wings flying in.
"Calm down Yajeel, he is Natsu otherwise known as my brother, or E.N.D." Zeref interrupted coming out through the shadows.
Yajeel finally gained his composure when he heard it was just Master E.N.D. arriving.
"Quite the greeting I get, Zeref, it does seem to insult me." Natsu said in a mature manner changing back into his usual Human form, dispelling the wings.
They aren't used to you yet, you just arrived after all Natsu." Zeref said with a genuine smile.
"Alright I guess you have a point" Natsu said while scratching either side of his cheeks. "So, I heard your the Emperor, what does that make me then." Natsu asked bored.
"Why, that would make you prince of course, Prince Natsu or E.N.D., whichever one you think is better well suited for you" Zeref said with a chuckle.
"Then I am for now on Prince E.N.D. There's no point being Natsu now, my old life is gone." Natsu said with a dark look in his eyes.
"Just remember, you are still Natsu, that was and is your name at birth just as mine was and is Zeref." Zeref reminded him with concern.
"I know that, I'm saying while I'm here, I'd like to be known as E.N.D." Natsu explained.
"Yes very well. Well, It's getting kind of dark, why don't you go retire to your personal chambers it's right over there up the stairs on the left." Zeref pointed out in what direction it is up the stairs.
"Alright thanks then, I guess I will now, Goodnight Zeref." Natsu said waving as Zeref waved back with a smile while returning back to his own quarters for sleep."
When Natsu arrived at his quarters and opened the door, he saw it was styled with Crimson Red as well as tints of Back and Blue blending in, with Gold and Diamond plated jewels on the ground resembling his now royal title of a prince.
"It's amazing" Natsu said out loud admiring the style that was given to his room. Closing the door and walking in he changed out of his clothes keeping his scarf on of course. He then saw a wardrobe for him that has a nice Red And Black realistic Flame Bottoms with a Ruby Down Golden Jewels styled shirt.
Natsu almost chuckled at how much effort Zeref did to make him comfortable. He quickly took off his clothes, and then putting the new clothes on, and then jumped on what appeared to be a King Sized Royal Bed, and pulled the covers on him, and turning the lights out.
Natsu was having a tough time sleeping, he remembered what he did today, and one thing was upsetting him in particular. Love. "Gray" he sobbed as he finally went into deep slumber
The next morning, Fairy Tail was pretty quite, no one make a ruckus. No one moved from their tables they were sitting at. No one even attempted to get a job from the guild board. There was no hiding it. Their spirits have been crushed.
"Listen everyone!" Makarov began. "Even though Natsu is no longer with us we cannot go back now. What is done is done. The past cannot be changed!" He finished.
"I know that master, we need to pick ourselves up we know. It's just that.…everyone's so shocked still. Natsu was the pride and joy of the guild" Marijane said still saddened by yesterday.
Then Gray got up and began to speak as well. "Even if Natsu is gone we still have to continue on living, Well I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna take a job right now, I'm not gonna meddle on Natsu's leave any longer." Gray said with enthusiasm.
Suddenly Cana butted in right after finishing her barrel of beer. "Forget it Gray, if your trying to be encouraging it's not working. We held Natsu we held deep in our hearts we can't just bounce back up from this." She finished going back to her beer.
Then Lucy got up and started speaking with a demanding and powerful composure. "I agree with Gray, we can't just give up now. There's many jobs out there right now where people need us not to mention rumors spreading about E.N.D's ressurection. We can't just wait till we find out what's true. We need to take action. Remember we are Fairy Tail wizards!" Lucy cheered on.
Suddenly the guild began to gain there confidence back one by one just as someone came right through the doors who was quite familiar. It was Mest (Doranbolt) with drastic urges and need of help.
"Master Makarov, the rumors of E.N.D. are true. He's been revived!" Mest said in a agitated voice.
"WHAT?, If that is the case, we need to get to the Alakitasia as soon as possible. PREPARE FOR WAR CHILDREN!" Makarov yelled getting up preparing for the war.
"I can teleport you guys there but only a max of 10 not including myself. That's all I can do for now. The rest of you will have to find another means of travel because I used most my magic up going back and forth. I'll have to use the rest of it for the fight."Mest explained.
Makarov was in deep thought now. This was basically now a battle for the entire Kingdom of Ishgar, it would be hard to pick the right people to be on the front lines.
"Alright, this is my select few for this job. This was a tough team to make so bear with it." Makarov paused for a sec, then continued speaking. "The ones for the job on bringing down E.N.D. and Zerefs Empire will be Gray, Elfman, Mirajane, Lucy, Cana, Wendy, Erza, Laxus, Freed, and Gajeel. I shall tag along by a boat to The Alverez Empire." Makarov stated.
"Alright, Now we're talking!"Gray put his fist in the air as if he was mimicking Natsu's behavior and enthusiasm.
"Why can't Juvia come help Gray-Sama." Juvia started to pout.
"Because this is the team the master made, you could just go with the boat people to Alakitasia you know." Erza stated.
"But Juvia wants to stay with Gray-Sama always!" She started to cry.
"Not this time Juvia. sorry about this but your gonna have to stay with the other's whether you like it or not." Gray said with a glare.
"Fine Juvia will stay here" Juvia began to make quick tears that started to flood the guild hall.
"Oh shit man, Mest quick! Teleport us inside the castle, this gets bad very quick." Gray said with a desperate look in his face. Everyone going with him agreed as well and stood close to Mest."
Mest nodded and began his Magic Instantaneous Transmission spell. They were quickly filled with light glowing all around them, and then they teleported as the room was half flooded with Juvias tears.
The light was gone. They were in Alakitasia, at the castle of the Alverez Empire.
"Alright, we need to make a plan. Clearly this won't be easy so we need to split into groups. some need to of course look for and try to take on E.N.D. and take him out, while the others go look for the 12 Shields including The God of Ishgar. This won't be a easy fight so be prepared." Mest warned.
"I think Erza, Laxus and Gray should go over to find and defeat E.N.D….." Mest continued.
"Let me stop you there Mest" Gray interrupted. "I must defeat E.N.D. myself, no others allowed, I promised my pops and you know how much that means to me after what happened at Tartaros." He said with sheer anger and raging desire of revenge.
Lucy put a arm on either of his now intensified shoulders and began to speak softly "Gray, we're your friends and family, we should stick together, even if you don't want me in the main fight. At least bring me as support." Lucy insisted upon him.
"Fine, just don't get in my way. Let's go!" Gray hollered. "Right!" she yelled back. They ran down the stairs to look for E.N.D. while the others discussed the other fighting plans. There was no luck so they went upstairs next realizing they had no idea what E.N.D. looked like , as they arrived they saw a figures head laying on the couch in the center of the room
Gray immediately demanded the person to get up and reveal themselves while he was so pissed. "Are you sure you want me to do that. It just might scare you." the figure spoke. It seemed like a familiar voice they have heard.
"I don't care what your appearance can do, from what I know your just bluffing." Gray pointed out. "It couldn't be…"
"Heh, very well, just remember this was your desire of knowing." The figure said finally getting up and turning it's position toward them.
"No way...Natsu." Gray said in a state of panic.
Natsu was there infront of them wearing a Dark Red Flame Cape, with a red ruby button in the middle, as well as a shirt that had moving inferno flames on it that seemed like they could burn someone as well as leather jeans with dark flames of red to match the whole outfit he was wearing.
"Natsu, what the hell are you doing here." Lucy demanded.
"You mean you still haven't figured it out yet. Man you two are slow." Natsu let out with a dark chuckle.
"Then explain to us now." Gray demanded with frustration.
"Fine, ugh it can't be helped. Whelp anyways, turns out I am Zeref's brother and I'm only alive thanks to him. If it wasn't for him i would've never lived, I'm inhuman, a demon." Natsu explained.
"That would mean…."Gray stuttered shaking. "That's right, I am E.N.D. Gray. Etherious Natsu Dragneel. That is who I am and what it stands for, and why I left Fairy Tail. Natsu explained."
"Natsu…"Lucy stuttered. "I only left because Gray would've wanted to kill me, his dream and promise so close to being accomplished, and yet so far as well. Not even knowing the one he promised to kill, was his own best friend. It hurts...alot" Natsu spoke in a dark tone."
"Well. Now that that's been cleared out of the way, time to destroy you. Inferno Void Break!" Natsu yelled casting his newly found death magic and watching Gray and Lucy slowly get sucked into the flames. "Funny to think I liked you Gray, however good times are over. Ya starting to get it? I left Fairy Tail from the one I loved. Yet that one dare comes now back to me ready to kill me? Your a pain for my heart and a pain to me. Stay out of my life Gray!" Natsu confessed in false hatred Gray finally spoke up after a deep sea of thinking of Natsu.
"Natsu, I don't know how to respond to that. You do know I felt jealous when I saw Lucy jump up to keep you from leaving then to kiss you in front of me, but clearly ignored it. I don't know if this makes a difference now but, if I knew that you were E.N.D I wouldn't want to killed you. But after hearing something like this, how could I. I love you too! You know your still my Flame Brain…Natsu." Gray confessed as well yelling, with a visible blush and completely forgetting Lucy feels the same way about Natsu.
Natsu began calming down the winds and the gravity dispelling the void attack and the flames. "Then prove it to me. come to me while I'm in my demon form which is the one you once now assume not wanting to kill, and show me what you feel. Mean it and truly mean what you say," Natsu said standing patiently in a slightly hopeful demeanor next to the now messed up couch along with everything else torn as well.
Gray unconciously took his shirt off and then began walking towards Natsu. When they're lips were an inches distance apart, Gray held his hand on either sides of Natsu's face, then closed the gap capturing Natsu's lips. Gray was kissing Natsu with passion. While Natsu was wide eyed, Gray took that chance to slip his tongue in. Natsu slowly closed his eyes enjoying the moment. They both explored each others mouths and battled for dominance. Natsu won and broke the kiss, leaving a trail of saliva running down bother their chins.
"Are you satisfied." Gray asked. "Yes very much . For a pervy stripper you kiss good." Natsu grinned.
"Shut up Flame Brain, point is if I have to break my promise to my father then so be it. I want to be with you Natsu, I love you." Gray said blushing.
"I love you too Gray. I'm sorry I quit the guild over something as childish as this. I feel like an idiot." Natsu began to cry.
Gray quickly hugged Natsu and whipped his tears away "It's not your fault, I'm to blame as well. This was quite a disaster huh." He said. "Yea." Natsu replied. The other's need our support." Gray let go of Natsu, as Natsu quickly ran off to his room and sealed the room up in a magic card he took out of either of his sleeves
Lucy went over to Natsu after watching the 'horrifying' scenes she saw before her eyes.
"What did you do." she asked. "I secretly took one of Canas cards and saw it was a storage holder card thought it might be useful." Natsu chuckled putting the card back in either of his sleeves.
He and Lucy then went back to Gray who was patiently waiting. "You guys ready." Gray asked. They both nodded. Then Natsu took Grays hand and they began to walk like a couple, blushing while storming through out the castle looking for the Shield 12 with Lucy in the front.
When they finally made it down to the lower levels they saw Laxus about to finish Ajeel. "Natsu? What the heck are you doing in Alakitasia, where did you go, and why the hell are you here." Laxus asked impatiently.
"I'll explain later. Right now we have to beat these guys." Natsu said. "I expect you to answer, just so you know." Laxus threatened.
"Dont worry I will. Now let's get to beating these guys to a pulp. Because Im here now, and I'm all fired up! Natsu said with his old usual cocky remark and attitude.
_ "I'am afraid that just won't be possible." a dark voice said nearby.
"Who's there." Laxus yelled.
It finally appeared the familiar face they are knew in which has made a enemy of all of Ishgar as well as Fairy Tail. Zeref. He was dressed in his normal white stash and black robes, but carrying a familiar book that said E.N.D."
"Now I think I'll fulfill my long wish." Zeref began chanting his spell as the book seemed living now. "Hear my calling for I am your Master, kill me swiftly and stop the Fairy Tail members, eliminate all and bare your eternal flames. Now rise soul of Etherious Natsu Dragneel and become one with your main and true body. E.N.D. rebirth!" The book opened and shot a beam that looked like a soul at Natsu. And that beam got absorbed into his body.
NATSU! Everyone screamed in terror.
