C1. Death of the Salamander
At Tenrou Island's Dual S Rank Trials between Fairy Tail and Crypt Warder, Grimoire Heart launched an attack on Fairy Tail totally avoiding Crypt Warder for the sake of neutrality, and as Grimoire Heart's members battled Fairy Tail's members on Tenrou Island, Zeref also appeared and murdered Zancrow of Grimoire Heart and attacked Elfman and Evergreen who are saved by a scarfless Natsu's arrival at their location but Natsu gets hit by Zeref's Death Magic
As Zeref's Death Magic strikes true, Natsu's pale corpse drops limply on the ground as Happy, Elfman, Evergreen and Zeref stares in horror in sight of Natsu's death and at the moment of their horror, a chilling presence made itself known
"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEH!" a red armored male laughed as he looked onto the scene from a safe distance before saying "This is an incredible chance! Now seize the Salamander's corpse and soul and avoid Zeref at all cost!"
Several males, all bearing a tattoo of a coffin with a skull within a circle of bones with different colors appeared beside him before charging through the dead trees
One figure landed in front of Natsu's corpse and Re-quipped into a green plain looking armor with a large shield instantly holding his shield in a defensive position against Zeref
The second figure appeared behind Happy wearing a black cloak and with a skeletal staff bashed him square on the head making him see stars before he collapse and get tossed away
The third figure leaped and grasped Natsu's soul before linking it with his corpse with his magic
Then the first figure muttered something while his duplicate appears behind Elfman and Evergreen
"Now let's flee from this island!" the figure in red armor said before running from the battlefield
As soon as he said that the three figures immediately fled towards his direction with haste while one of the figures carry Natsu's lifeless soul bound corpse
The four mages joined up with several other figures before stopping at the wreckage of their ship
"Now ain't this a bother, eh Nezozo" one of the figures said looking at their sunken ship
"Meh, it definitely is, and it's also Salamander's fault too" Nezozo says before sitting on the groundbefore continuing "Come on Dulloho, use your magic to repair the ship!"
" Alri-" Dulloho said before the male in red armor interjected " Now-now we don't need a mass genocide occurring anytime soon now, do we?""
"What do you mean, Sepulcho?" One of the female mages wearing a two piece swimsuit said before hearing him chuckle and shake his head
"I sensed a formidable creature heading toward this island, and we certainly won't waste our time with Fairy Tail's and Grimoire Heart's business together"
"Meh, at that case let's hightail it outta here with Portal Boy's portals now, 'cause I feel like I'm getting fried in this island's heat" Nezozo said with his pale skin cracking slightly illustrating his point
"It's going to take a while to create one with this barrier in place but it's not impossible" the Portal Boy said lightly irked by his comment before casting the spell which will take half an hour to twenty minutes
"In that case! Art of Necromancy-Summon: Skeleton!" Nezozo exclaims as multiple runes appear beneath him before a horde of skeletons crawled out of the ground
"Now, cut off that odd rock formation and bring me some tropical fruits pronto!" the skeletons saluted him before running off with their task
"Oh, now it's time to relax and enjoy the scenery" Nezozo continued before Dulloho made several fold up chairs appear next to him while the dark armored figure take a fold up chair and placed it near Sepulcho who sat down immediately, then the dark armored figure walked away
"Now, Posseilo start modifying Natsu's soul so that he will be subservient to our guild in the future" Sepulcho says while sitting on his fold up chair
"By the way…. What is the formidable beast you talked about before?" Dulloho said with stars in his eyes and drool out of his mouth
"Judging by the large black dragon with some sort of blue tattoo, I'm guessing that it is Acnologia-" As Sepulcho said Acnologia, Dulloho instantly perked up and yelled "REALLY?! OH BOY WHERE IS HE?! I'M SO GONNA DECAPITATE THAT BLACK HEAD OF HIS!"
In a split second Sepulcho unsheathed his darkonium katana and pointed it towards Dulloho's face while shouting "If you proceed with your own words , I will execute you where you stand!"
Dulloho paled and sweated before saying "Uhhhhh….. Nevermind, I rather stay alive, thank you very much!" very quickly before sobbing in misery at his lost chance at getting an extremely old dragon's head
At his outburst Nezozo blinked while Posseilo grinned as Natsu's soul starts to chain itself to his fingertips at the same time
"Uh….why are you grinning soul boy? Marcia asks as she looked at him questioningly with Shirasa wondering the same
"Heh! I just finished linking his soul with mine meaning that he is under my control!"
"So he is your subordinate, right?"
"Meh, more like my servant, slave, weapon or tool"
"What do you mean?"
"He will retain his memories and magic but if I will it so, he will be unable to defy me"
"And why should you do that?"
"There isn't much more irony than Zeref's brot-Err….. victim lives his undeath as a weapon ain't it" Posseilo quickly corrected seeing Sepulcho's cold gaze in his direction
"I have no idea what you just said"
"Nor should you "
At that moment Rigormoure returned with an abundance of tropical fruits and a fan in his hand which he immediately used to fan Sepulcho
"I really envy you know that, Sepulcho" says Nezozo as he looked at him before continuing "Having someone like Rigormoure at your side, loyal like a dog that stays loyal no matter how many times you mistreat it"
"Heh, just make sure your jealousy doesn't give you the gall to betray me" Sepulcho says smirking as Rigormoure Re-quipped an Executor's Axe in his free hand while he holds a fan in his other hand
"Eh….heh..heh,,heh…. That day won't come, I assure Sepulcho-sama!" Nezozo says quickly, feeling the blood rush from his face as he stared at the menacing axe said dog is holding
Skolo and Vanus chuckles darkly as they watch the scene unfold in front of them with Vanus whispering to his friend "Is Cracked Pale Skins gonna suffer or not eh, Shadow Face"
"Ngeh, I don't know but I am so looking forward to watch it happen, Bonehead" Skolo answered back while rubbing his hands together with glee before gaping as they see Natsu's skin turn pale as if he is a ghost and his hair turn white "Uhhhh…Posseilo, is that supposed to happen?" they asked in unison
"…Y-y-y-yes….. It is what was supposed to happen!" Posseilo corrected with uncertainty before he thought to himself 'Huh, I wonder if his hair and skin changed color by semi turning him into an undead by an impure source or he is it the fact he isn't completely wiped out by Zeref…,meh. It doesn't matter much, not at all'
"Hey, Dulloho….You got a quill and a parchment of paper? Sepulcho said with a smirk on his face
"Yes, Sepulcho-san, I do. But why?" Dulloho says before creating a quill and a parchment of paper out of nothingness and handing them to him
"I am going to write something from the bottom of my heart to Fairy Tail" He answered with a grin as he wrote on the parchment
Marcia then frowned as she sees Sepulcho smirk as he finished writing, she then walked over to him and grabbed the parchment before reading it out loud
"To: Fairy Tail
Hey Short Old Perverted Guild Master, I am sure we overstayed our welcome when Grimoire Heart and Zeref arrived, so we are going to leave now. NEWSFLASH, your Fire Dragon Slayer is dead, killed by Zeref. You can ask the Unmanly Elf and the Titanian Imposter for the details. We are going to keep his corpse if you are wondering why you can't find it. So don't try to bury him or something like that. And if you want the corpse back, come find us if you can. Even if you are unable to locate us, we will show ourselves to Fairy Tail in the future, a very far future. P.S-The next time you see your precious Dragon Slayer, things will be different. Wait! It already is, because he's DEAD, HAH!
From: Sepulcho (Oh, I so wish I could've seen your sad miserable faces when you find out Natsu Dragneel is dead, I estimate that there will be multiple heartbroken faces, sad faces, horrified, sad, and shocked faces in your future expressions! Feel free to direct your rage towards us in the future)"
Marcia just stared blankly before Sepulcho took a bow that Dulloho created then he aimed it at nowhere before launching it
"Do you really think that it will reach Fairy Tail and not anything else?" Shirasa says confused as she witnessed him shooting it into the island's center
"Meh, I couldn't care less if it hit Hades's testicle or Acnologia's eye!" Sepulcho spat out before he heard Xdimoxu talk
"Well…. I have some bad news and even worse news." Xdimoxu said making Sepulcho stare blankly before saying" Tell me the bad news first than you can tell me the worse news"
"For starters the portal to our guild is sealed off by someone meaning that we need to build a ship to reach our guild outpost in Fiore"
"And the worse news?"
"We have to build it fast before Acnologia decides to blow up this island"
"Oh well, there's worse things that can happen so let's get started!" Sepulcho yelled before his eyes shone with malice "Wait a minute, why should we build a ship if Headhunter can just create one himself" Sepulcho said before looking at Xdimoxu with a wicked look
"Are you trying to get us all killed, Xdimoxu?" Sepulcho muttered as he unsheathed his darkonium blade and pointed it towards him
"N-no, I'm just saying that as one of our options available to us"
"For a second there, I thought that you were a traitor. And you know what happens to traitors!"
Xdimoxu paled before stuttering out "Y-yes, I-I-I do my lord"
"Good, unless you want to join those I've executed"
"Yes, Sepulcho-sama!" Xdimoxu shouted in fear as before he regained his composure
Fifteen minutes later…..
"Of all things that you could've created, why did you have to create a stupidly long canoe?!" Nezozo shouted loudly as he continues to row it in the back row
"WHAT? It seemed like the best idea at the time" Dulloho shouted back
"I'll show you what's a good idea at the time" he yelled before standing up and trying to bash Dulloho with his staff
"OH, FOR THE LOVE OF! YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN OUR BALANCE!" Cofgrigo shouted hysterically as the canoe wobbles back and forth before sending them into the water
"Ugh, you boys are the worst, can't you stop making a fuss for at least an hour?!" Marcia shouted
"Only if he starts first!" Nerozo shouted making Dulloho scowl and bite Nezozo's hand
"OW! YOU SEE THAT?! HE BIT ME! HE SERIOUSLY BIT ME!" screamed out Nezozo while flailing wildly causing water to splash over the Loyalist mages
Marcia, Shirasa, Bansiara, and Goulia spat water out of their mouths as they tried to dry themselves on the upside down canoe, while Cofgrigo shouted "Oh come on, I already have my bandages soaked a while ago and I don't need it happening again!" before wrapping both boys to each other and throwing them both into the air
"Alright, in a count of three we start pushing the canoe back up. ONE, TWO AND A THREE!" Sepulcho shouted before they pushed it in unison making it move upright once more
As that happens Dulloho and Nezozo screams as they start falling to the briny deep, Cofgrigo then caught them with his bandages before tossing them onto the canoe
Suddenly, a bright light enveloped Tenrou in the distance making Vanus and Skolo to shout "TENROU ISLAND, IT'S GONE?!" before Nerozo panicked and yelled out "WE TELEPORTED OURSELVES AWAY FROM TENROU?! HOW DID THIS EVEN HAPPEN?! ARE WE S-" Xdimoxu punched him in the face before saying "This is not teleportation you Necrotic Dumbass!"
"If I had to make a guess, I think Acnologia attacked the island, somehow activating some weird self defense spell, that made it vanish for around seven years and freezes time for it's inhabitants" Dulloho said normally making Jakjo who is quietly listening to the conversation say" YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE?!"
"OF COURSE NOT YOU HALF BAKED PUMPKIN BOY!" Dulloho rebuked making him answer angrily "YOU TAKE THAT BACK, YOU JERK!" "NEVER!"
Jakjo spat out a pumpkin seed that quickly grew larger and attach itself at Dulloho's face, making him shout and attempt to pull said pumpkin from his face
"[Muffled screaming] [AHHH! I CAN'T SEE! GET THIS THING OFFA MEEE!]'
"Hell no, at least until you take your insult back you jerk!" Jakjo sneered before tightening the pumpkin's grip on his face
Dulloho screamed like a little girl as he feel the pumpkin crushing the life outta him before he panicked and flail around the canoe like an idiot, finally managing to smash it on the canoe making Jakjo scowl and strangle him with pumpkin vines knocking him out easily
"W-well, remind me not to get on his bad side" Cofgrigo whispered to a shocked Marcia and surprised Shirasa who just stared at Jakjo
Several hours later the disgruntled group managed to reach their guild outpost which is somewhat close to the coast only to see a groups of skeletons thrashing and assaulting multiple Falce and Loyalist mages in large numbers.
