"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Sound*

"Attack name!"

Waves hit the beach as a man walked along it, making his way toward a city. The man was tall with tanned skin. He had dark green eyes and waist length pink hair. He had on a black vest lined with blue flames on the bottom. The vest was left open to reveal his tones and scarred chest and abs. He wore white baggy pants that were dirtied and had the occasional tear. Around his waist was a scaly scarf that held no purpose but to make him look more intimidating than he already was. His skin was lined with black tattoo diamonds that went up to his handsome face and stopped at his eyes. They lined his face and he had an occasional one on his chest and back.

The waves reached his ankles and he walked until he was within the borders of a city with a sign that read simply in large black letters.

MAGNOLIA

The man let out a small snicker and he grinned ear to ear. If you didn't know who he was you would be terrified for your life. He walked through the streets and looked at the vendors around him. He gave them gentle and polite smiles. They all smiled back, they knew who he was and they didn't seem to be scared of him. The man made his way into the forest at the far side of the city and he stopped in front of a large building with colorful letters on top of the door. The letters were damaged along with the rest of the build and he sighed deeply. The sign read.

FAIRY TAI...

The man shook his head as he spotted the missing letter on the ground. The 'L' had fallen off the sign and hadn't been put back on yet. He heard mumbling from within the building and he was actually surprised that he couldn't tell what they were saying. The man was about the walk in when he heard something.

*CRASH*

The man ran inside and dropped his large backpack. AS he entered he was greeted with the back of a tall man that was thin but was giving off a small amount of magical energy. The man watched and he jumped up to the rafters unnoticed by anyone in the building. He watched what was happening in the guild hall. He grinned ear to ear, revealing his shaper than average canines. Below him was a fight between a young boy and a middle aged man.

The man pissed off and he was chasing the boy with a large spiked mace in his hand. The boy was laughing as he dodged a smash and it destroyed a table. He could hear a groan of pain and he looked at the bar in the building. An elderly man in maybe his late fifties with light purple hair seemed to be in pain at the table breaking. The man in the rafter snickered quietly. The fight continued and the man with the mace seemed to get even more pissed.

The boy dodged another slam from the mace kicked the man in the back with a flaming foot. The man stumbled forward and fell. The boy stood there with that smile until it turned into a glare. He glared at the fallen man. "Leave our guild before I really hurt you!" He yelled and the man stood up. He turned around and gave the the small boy a smirk. "Fine, I'll leave but I'm gonna tell boss what happened and he won't be happy."

The boy grinned. "Then come back again and see if I don't kick his ass too!" The elderly man chimed in. "Romeo watch your mouth!" Romeo laughed as the man walked past him and toward the small group of four other people. They all exited the guild and the man from the rafters jumped down quietly as to not be noticed. He sat at the bar and smiled at the woman in front of him. "Hey Kinana, can I get a drink?" He asked aloud and she smiled back at him.

"Sure Natsu." She went to pour him a drink but she dropped the glass and it shattered before she turned around. "NATSU!?" She screamed, alerting the rest of them. The older man turned around and his eyes widened. Natsu was sitting at the bar. Natsu got up and walked to the man. "I'm back gramps." He said and he shook the hand of the older man. "Don't call me gramps Natsu!" Natsu grinned. "Well you are getting old Macau!" Another man said. "Shut up Wakaba!" He yelled back and Natsu walked past Macau.

"Hey there Romeo." He said and he kneeled down to Romeo's level. He rubbed the kids head. "You did a good job right now, I'm proud that my training paid off. However, their master might be on a different level, I might have to take care of him." Natsu said and Romeo nodded. "Of course Natsu." They laughed and the rest of the people in the building joined before it abruptly stopped as the ground began to shake.

They all ran outside and they looked up as a large shadow cast over the guildhall and began to larger. Natsu smirked as he saw what it was. "Blue Pegasus." He and deep inside of him he felt hopewell up for unidentified reasons. He smiled and watched a a silhouette dived from the head of the airship. Natsu expected him to land graceful with that actually cool dive. He smirked though as the man landed head first on the brick pathway and shattered it.

Natsu walked up to the fallen man who was mumbling in pain with a grin. "Ichiya? It's been awhile!" He said joyfully and he went for a handshake. The man jumped up and scotted away from Natsu fearfully. "Huh?" Natsu asked aloud and Ichiya recovered quickly. "Oh! Natsu! It truly has been a while! I have great news!" Natsu tilted his head to the side. "What do you mean?"

Ichiya smiled and posed. "Well! We have found out some grave information about Fairy Tail!" He yelled and Natsu's eyes widened. "Are they still alive?" Ichiya's smirk turned into a smile. "We don't know yet… what we do know is that…" He stopped talking as his three servants floated down from the sky. One of them was using wind magic. "Oh?" Natsu asked aloud and he smiled at them before waving. Ichiya turned back toward Natsu and posed. "TENROUJIMA STILL EXISTS!"

Natsu's eyes widened and in one swift motion he pulled Ichiya into a hug before letting him down and brushing the hair out of his face. "What!? We have to go now!" He yelled and they nodded. Within minutes they left for the boat. Alzack, Bisca, Jet and Droy went. Macau and Romeo went too but they weren't freaking out like the other two.

They sailed for an hour and they were surprised to see that where Tenroujima would have been… there was a little girl standing on the water. Natsu frowned. He couldn't smell her, it was like she wasn't even there. His eyes widened when she raised her hands and the water began to glow gold. A large ball began to raise from the water that was bright yellow with a gold Fairy Tail emblem on it.

Natsu collapsed to his knees. "Fairy Sphere…" They landed and docked as the sphere disappeared and they began to chase after the little girl on the island. Natsu kept in tow before he smelt Erza and he separated from the group and ran after her scent.

Erza had awoken and winced as she felt the pierce on her shoulder and she jumped back as Hades sent more magic bullets at her.

Erza slid to a halt and noticed two things. One was that it was day time and the other was that there was a massive magic power coming over to her quickly. Her eyes widened she recognized it. "N-" She began to say and he entered the treeline, making himself noticed. "NATSU!" Erza yelled and tears began to fall. She was saved. She was also utterly exhausted. Her scream echoed throughout the island and reached the ears of a black haired man with a white toga draped across his chest.

The man eyes widened and he began to walk toward the scream.

Natsu was standing on a tree branch above her, he had noticed her but he didn't have time for that. His glare was directed at that of Hades and Bluenote. Natsu scowled. He dropped down in front of Erza and he turned around. He picked her up bridal style and he jumped up, putting her on a higher branch. "Just give me a moment Erza. He whispered to her and he placed a kiss on her forehead. She smiled lightly but she then noticed the changes. He was taller… and older looking. He had a beard and his hair reached his waist.

She frowned slightly. "What happened to you?" She asked and he smiled. "We have a lot to talk about…" He said and she nodded. Natsu then released his power and she felt fear grip her heart at the utterly massive power. Natsu jumped back down and he glared at Hades. Natsu could feel evil pouring off of him and he could feel the hatred pouring off of Bluenote. Natsu's glare intensified and he began to leak fire from his pores the fire was hot.

The fire was so hot that the sand that had gotten on his sandals turned to glass. After feeling Natsu's magic power the two of them got in a guarding position. Natsu's glare turned them inside and out seemingly and he pushed off. Bluenote made the gravity change on a massive rate and Natsu frowned as he got heavier. He pushed through it though and his hand caught fire. "Fire Dragon's Annihilation Fist!" Natsu yelled and he punched Bluenote in the face.

Bluenote's face seemed to bend around Natsu's fist as he flew back and he slid across his back, breaking through a tree, stopping himself with his gravity magic, freeing Natsu from his gravity. Natsu then took advantage of the lighter gravity and he spun, roundhousing Hades in the head. Natsu then proceeded to grab his head and slam him into the branch so hard that his head was buried into the branch.

Hades spat up blood from the impact and Natsu proceeded to stomp on his gut. Hades bent around his foot as he was blasted through the tree branch. Natsu went to jump after him but he was pulled toward the branch by gravity and his eyes widened as a man wrapped one arm around him from inside the tree. "Natsu!" Erza yelled and a large explosion happened. The explosion grew a face and roared.

After it died down Natsu stood there unharmed. The man that had grabbed him went for another explosion but Natsu grabbed him, pulling him out of the tree. The man coughed up blood as Natsu planted his fist into his gut. The man tried to retaliate by punching back but Natsu caught his fist and threw him in the air. The man covered himself, expecting another attack but he was surprised when it didn't come.

He looked back at Natsu as he landed to see he was being pulled into a miniature black hole. "BLACK HOLE!" Bluenote yelled and Natsu's eyes widened. Natsu was holding his ground but it was getting stronger by the second. Natsu frowned as he tried to think of an idea but one didn't come. He smirked as line began to appear in the black ball. It then turned to cubes. Natsu grinned at the man's eyes widening. Gildarts was here but he was out of magic power. Well almost out.

Gildarts ran at Bluenote quickly and he went to cover himself but Gildarts went right through his guard, channeling the rest of his magic power into one punch as he uppercutted Bluenote. Bluenote flew into the sky and parted the clouds. Natsu then turned to Hades who had made it back to the treeline. Sorry Natsu, I can't help you with him…" Natsu nodded and pushed the downed Gildarts off the tree. Gildarts landed on a lower one and he grinned.

Natsu watched as Hades scowled at him. "You know what boy?" Natsu tilted his head. "Huh?" Hades smirked. "Makarov has done a good job… however… I will exterminate you here and now." He reached up to his eyepatch and removed it. His eyes was blood red under it and it was glowing. "Devil's Eye!" He yelled and he began to match Natsu's power with his own. Natsu smirked. "A challenge?" He then began to release more of his magic power to where he was leaking red magic and Hades was leaking purple magic.

Hades began to chant and he extended his hands, putting them into a sign Natsu had seen Acnologia do before. Natsu frowned. Just what kind of magic was he doing. The magic power he was producing was… pure darkness. He could feel fear coming from Erza and he could feel hatred coming from Hades. Natsu grinned, surprising Hades. "Time for you to die boy!" He yelled and a blast of dark magic was sent at Natsu. Natsu raised his hands and a ball of fire appeared.

"Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame!" He yelled and he threw it at the attack. The attacks connected and they canceled each other out. Natsu then dashed at him and Hades could barely see him move. It was too late to get out of the way however as Natsu grabbed the back of his clothing. Hades' eye widened. "HUH!" He yelled in confusion and Natsu's hand caught fire. "Fire Dragon's Grip Strike!" He yelled and there was an explosion, sending Hades forward. Hades turned around in mid air and he shot another wave of magic at Natsu who was going to move but Azuma grabbed his foot from the tree.

The attack hit him and he flew back, flipping to stop himself but his back hit a tree and he coughed up saliva. "Wow… that geezer can hit pretty hard." Natsu said and he grinned. He watched as the man was still floating and he watched as Erza came up from behind him. Natsu grinned as she slashed him across the back and she spun, landing much like one would do in a Japanese movie. Hades was surprised and he growled. The attack didn't seem to faze him but Natsu could tell he was absolutely livid. '

Natsu began to walk toward him. "I'm done messing around old man! I am going to destroy you!" Natsu yelled at him and he stopped his strides. The man descended to the tree branch and he put his hand into that position again. Natsu began to suck in power from everywhere. This was surprising to Erza and she looked around. The trees around them were withering. She watched Natsu and she could feel the buildup of both of the men's attacks.

Natsu began to speak. "Old man! This is your one and only warning! Leave the island or I will be forced to possibly kill you!" Hades laughed. "Brat! I am going to make you decay into nothingness, but only after you watch me kill your girlfriend!" Natsu's eyes widened and he felt his anger build up, powering up his attack more. "I am going to OBLITERATE YOU!" Natsu roared and his mouth filled with black flames.

He then began to mutter under his breath. "Fire Dragon's... " He reared his head back. He then hunched forward at the same time as Hades launched his massive purple attack. "ROAR!~" Natsu let out a roar and the attacks clashed momentarily. This was only temporary however as Natsu's attack overcame Hades' attack and Hades was consumed by the dark flames. Hades began to be incinerated and he screamed in pain before he was wiped from existence.

After the roar died down Natsu smirked. "Guess that was too much huh?" He asked and he received a blank stare from Erza. (Just immagine the one Wendy gave him after the first time he used the lighting dragon roar.)

Natsu sighed and he turned to face Erza but he was greeted with the sight of a crying man. The man was a little bit shorter than him and he had black hair. His eyes were black and he wore a long black coat with a beige and white toga draped across his chest. The man's complexion was pale and he was full of life… too much life.

Natsu felt his head began to ache. "What the?" He asked aloud until somebody roared in his head. 'ZEREF!'

Natsu began to think. 'Zeref? As in the dark wizard? Acnologia's master? This isn't good… I can feel the dark magic dripping from every pore in his body and it doesn't feel sane… it feels like it's wild… like he can't control it. I have to get Erza and Gildarts away from-' His thought were interrupted as a lighting covered knee impacted the man in his side.

Erza was in shock at how freezed up Natsu was, not only that but those two looked almost the same in the face, the only differences were Natsu's eye shape and color. Zeref seemed unfazed by the kick and he grabbed Laxus's leg before throwing him away. Zeref's eyes were now blood red. Laxus hit the ground hard and Zeref landed next to him. Laxus's eyes widened as Zeref aimed a ball of black magic at him only to be punched in the face by Natsu.

"You guys have to leave now! Get Erza and Gildarts out of here Laxus!" Laxus wanted to object but he didn't he grabbed the stunned Erza and the unconscious Gildarts. He then fled the scene, leaving Natsu and Azuma to see Zeref. "Why are you here Zeref!?" Natsu yelled and both of the other two's eyes widened. "Zeref?" Azuma asked and his senses kicked in. Azuma then fled the scene.

"Answer me!" Natsu yelled and Zeref took in Natsu's appearance. "N-Natsu? You remember me?" He asked and his eyes were black again. Natsu frowned. "B-Brother…" Zeref muttered and Natsu's enhanced hearing picked it up. Natsu's eyes widened. "Brother?" He asked and Zeref was about to turn away and retreat but Natsu grabbed him. Zeref's eyes turned blood red again and Natsu frowned as Zeref glared at him. "Let go of me Natsu." Natsu shook his head. "No, I refuse! Explain. Now!" Natsu yelled and he grabbed Zeref by the collar.

Natsu couldn't hear Acnologia's voice anymore. "You said brother! What the hell are you talking about!?" Natsu yelled. He knew that Acnologia was connected to Zeref and himself but he didn't know why. "If you really are my brother? Then where have you been my entire life!?" Natsu yelled as tears began to pour out of his eyes, he didn't know why but he actually really wanted to know his brother better.

"I can't be around people Natsu… My magic… it attacks people… it make them hate me… I didn't even mean to… kill… you…" Zeref muttered and Natsu punched him in the face. Not so hard that it knocked him unconscious, but hard enough to get his point across. "If you didn't mean it then why are you guilty! And what do you mean you killed me!? I'm standing right in front of you!" Natsu yelled and Zeref began to shake.

"G-Get away from me! It's coming… the predatory death!" He yelled and he clutched his head. Natsu felt familiar magic begin to surround him. "Death Magic?" He asked, he was unaffected by the magic but his scarf was turning black. "My scarf? What did you do Igneel?" Natsu asked aloud and he turned back to Zeref who was looking at Natsu with wide eyes. "N-Natsu… you're standing in my death magic!?" He asked fearfully. He didn't want to kill his brother yet again.

"Oh yeah, this stuff is like food for me, now that Acnologia trained me." He said and Zeref's eyes widened. "Acnologia trained you? Why would he do that?" Natsu frowned. "He said you ordered him to... " Zeref's eyes widened. "No I didn't!" He yelled. What the hell was that dragon up to. "Where is he?" Zeref asked and Natsu shrugged. "I dunno… he was in my mind but I can't hear him anymore." Zeref grabbed Natsu's arm. "We are going into your mind Natsu!" Natsu's eyes widened.

"Wh-" Zeref looked deep into his eyes and Natsu's world went blurry. He fell and Zeref was gone. Natsu was pulled into his mind. His eyes closed and he was asleep.
