Tower Of Heaven
Erza Scarlet:
"Why Jellal", I screamed at him as he put his right hand on my forehead. "To revive the almighty Zeref", He told me and pushed me into the lacrima with a grin. Why did my friend betray me, was he cursed or has my life just been leading up to this moment, I guess I want to say goodbye to Gray, Lucy, Juvia, Sho, Simon, Wally, Millianna and everyone from the guild. My body sank deeper into the crystal and a single tear left my one good eye, this was the end.
"Sorry I can't allow that to happen", A man told me as he threw me out of the lacrima. I didn't recognise this man, pink hair, onyx eyes, scarf around his neck, probably around my age. He wore a council uniform but the coat was left open and had no sleeves, he wasn't even wearing a shirt underneath the coat. "WHY ARE YOU HERE", I heard Jellal yell at the man, he was angry that I didn't sink in but for another reason. "Who are you", I weakly asked him.
"Natsu Dragneel of the magic council, you think we would just let you win Mr Seigrain or I guess I should call you Jellal", he replied with a grin. "Well at the very least I now have two sacrifices for lord Zeref", Jellal said trying to find a good side for Natsu showing up. "Sorry Jellal, but you're under arrest for identity fraud and deception of the magic council and slave labour, and property damage to the council. I've always wanted to arrest a wizard saint though", Natsu told Jellal.
"Why would you save me if the only person that you want is Jellal", I manage to ask from on the floor. "Because I made a promise to my master and I'll make a promise to you. I wont let someone die right in front of me and for nothing", he told me with such a pure look. "Now I just need to defeat this guy and we can get out", he jumped up and was ready for the fight with Jellal, his fights in a fighting position and the balls of his feet ready to bounce.
"You can't defeat him", I weakly told him while looking up at him. "You don't think I can, I'm a dragon slayer. You know, the kind that is filled with the power to slay an actual dragon, if I let this small fry beat me, than I'm going to have to revoke my powers and never remember Igneel ever again", He told me, so sure of his own power that I couldn't disagree that he would win.
A dragon slayer, I had only seen that one from Phantom Lord, Gajeel Redfox. He didn't make a great impression for how great the dragon slayers were. "Now just sit back and praise me afterwards alright". Natsu said as he looked back towards Jellal.
"I will not let a egotistical knight of the council make a fool of me", Jellal shouted to the councilman who just grinned back. The fight began, it was amazing as flashing lights exploded over my head. A fire dragon slayer, that's what this strange man named Natsu was. The flames erupted everywhere and battled against the fierce light that Jellal was producing from his hands.
The flames were filled with emotion as they swirled around the battlefield. A harsh and rage filled flame that had a caring side to them. This man that I had just met, he was different from any other guy that I had met.
Jellal fired a giant blast of light at Natsu, that hit him point blank and exploded sending the fire dragon slayer onto the floor. Both fighters were out of breathe and their bodies beaten and battered. Natsu hit the ground with a large crash, Jellal standing away from him.
"I'm through with this, if I can't revive Zeref, than I'll get rid of the problem that will stand against me", Jellal shouted at his opposing force, his arms he held an energy that felt evil from everywhere you looked at it. "He's going to kill Natsu!"
I stepped in-front of Natsu trying to protect him from the power that was about to be launched in his direction. "Get out of my way NOW, you're just an innocent so don't hurt yourself in my place you got that", Natsu screamed at me from the ground, genuinely angry about me protecting him. "You can both die here and now, lord Zeref your time has come", Jellal yelled and shot the energy.
Altairus
I closed my eyes as the the power swelled amongst us, enveloping both me and Natsu. Until it felt like someone cut through it and was able to block the power. When I finally opened I was shocked to see Simon laying down on the ground. "Simon", I yelled and hugged his body, as he was struggling to live.
"No, I told myself that I wouldn't let a single person die, damn it", I heard from behind me. "Simon tell me your ok, tell me", I gasped out trying to cling on to anything I could. "Sorry Erza, your smile was… the only thing… that kept me going…", Simon words spoke slowly and faded away to nothing. "SIMON", I screamed and hugged the dead man.
"PATHETIC! HA HA HA HA, How utterly foolish. Now that's called 'DYING IN VAIN!'. The situation hasn't changed one bit! No one is going to leave this tower ali-", Jellal yelled over the heartbreaking situation. "Shut the hell up", was yelled as Natsu hit Jellal with a punch sending him flying. "DON'T INSULT THE DEAD, and don't you dare rub salt in the wound for those who were close", Natsu yelled as he bite into a blue crystal.
As he broke the blue crystal the sound of glass breaking echoed and . "What is that fool doing, HE'S EATING THE ETHERNANO!", Jellal exclaimed, coughs started to erupt from Natsu and he started throwing up the blue energy. "What is he doing?", I asked at the strange change. "He's being an idiot, BUT THIS IS BETTER FOR ME, KILL YOURSELF AND SAVE ME THE TROUBLE", Jellal yelled at the crippled councilman.
PWOUFFFFFFFF
Fire erupted around Natsu taking the form of a dragon. "JELLAL", Natsu shouted and leaped at the magic council man. "How dare you, I made a promise to Igneel, I made a promise to Master Serena and most importantly I made a promise to that girl that I wouldn't let anyone die", Natsu shouted and ran towards Jellal.
Natsu's appearance had changed slightly. Scale patterns lined his eyes as well as his arms and he side of his chest and abdomen. Dragon. That's what this man named Natsu Dragneel looked like. A living dragon that could defeat anyone who stood in his way. Eyes focused ahead and not noticing those lower than himself.
Jellal tried to evade the incoming attack by powering up his heavenly body magic. Out from the side a fist hit him into the crystallised ground sending him several levels down from the top of his crystallised tower. Jellal shot up again into the air escaping the tower. He saw Natsu leap around the falling crystals and then shot himself up wards towards him. Natsu caught Jellal with his fist sending him further back away from the tower.
"I'm sick of people trying to stop me, especially from someone who isn't even a wizard saint", Jellal yelled. Using two fingers he swiped at the air and a magic circle appeared. "He's using abyss break", I yelled from my spot. Then black energy began to get sucked into the magical circle as it began absorbing a large amount of magic power.
Then the magic power began to erupt from the magic circle. "WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING THE TOWER SO MANY BUILT FOR YOU", I screamed with tears running down my face. "I don't care about this tower anymore. I could build a new one in half the time it took me to build this one", Jellal said as he released the black energy.
Fire Dragon Roar
A red pillar of flames shot straight from the mouth of Natsu and collided with the black energy. The magic wasn't a struggle as the flames completely consumed the Abyss Break and almost enveloped Jellal if he didn't move. "WHAT ARE YOU, NATSU DRAGNEEL", Jellal yelled at the powerful dragon slayer.
"A SEVERELY PISSED DRAGON", Natsu yelled and jumped above Jellal and hit him with a flame fuelled punch. The body of Jellal fell rag doll down to the bottom level of the tower of heaven. Natsu quickly disappeared only to appear in front of me. He stood in his tattered magic council robe and he had a damaged body.
Looking at him was magnificent. My Hero. Natsu turned around and finally saw me. "Oh, your still here". "Thank you, thank you so much", I began to cry as I collapsed onto my knees. Natsu's face light up with a smile. Suddenly his scales disappeared and left him the same way he was before the battle. The moment of happiness didn't last long as the tower began to rumble. "The Ethereon is unstable, we need to get out of here", I yelled as Natsu began to faint onto the floor.
"NATSU", I shouted as I ran towards the fainted hero. I slung him over my shoulder and took one final look at Simon. "Goodbye Simon", I said slowly and ran trying to get out of the tower. The whole constructed crystal tower was collapsing from above and below. I tried to dodge each falling broken crystal but it kept getting more difficult and dangerous as sac explosion happened.
"I can't do this, this is too much", I told myself huffing and wheezing. I stopped completely on the side of an ethereon crystal. That's when I saw the unconscious dragon slayer on my shoulder. I can't give up. I quickly remembered what Jellal had said. I need to sacrifice myself so that Natsu can live.
I reached my hand inside the deep blue sphere, the energy started to consume me and suck me into the ethernano. "What are you doing!", I suddenly saw Natsu wake up from his sleep. "Natsu, I'm so thankful for what you did for me, so please escape and continue living to save people", I stated as I was consumed by the energy. "ARE YOU STUPID, I SAVE OTHER PEOPLE, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND", He yelled with tears forming in his eyes.
"Then I'm sorry", I whispered and was completely consumed.
I'm dead, I must be dead. I opened my eyes to the Magnolia graveyard. In front of me was a huge grave with the name Erza Scarlet. The whole Fairy Tail guild was crying in front of my grave. Master Makarov began to say a speech while crying. From the back a large group of the magical council appeared and announced that I was now a wizard saint. But I wasn't focusing on the group of magic council men.
Right in the back, a few meters away from the group was a certain pink haired councilman. His face made no movement as he looked down at the ground. Until finally he looked at the raining sky and I saw tears forming in his eyes as he looked at the grave. "I was supposed to save you", I heard him whisper from his spot.
"No, no, no, no, no. This isn't how it's supposed to end. Everyone should be living their life with smiles, not crying for a loss", I couldn't stop myself from crying as well due to the upsetting scene of my own friends. From out of the clouds a hand appeared and caught me.
When I opened my eyes I was no longer in a world of blue crystal, nor in a raining world in front of my grave. I was held in the arms of Natsu as he walked along the beach. Around my body was his coat and his eyes stared towards the horizon. "Natsu", was the first word I uttered. "What's your name", Natsu quickly asked me.
"I told you my name, so tell me yours", Natsu followed up. "Erza Scarlet", I answered from within his arms. A smile lit up on his face and he looked at me. "What a beautiful name". The words hung for a moment before Natsu's face changed. "Erza, it's my job as a councilman to sacrifice myself. Never the other way around. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be distraught if you died, I definitely would never forgive myself. So don't ever do that. Because you're supposed to live for your friends", Natsu finally said.
That's when a commotion began with my friends running at us. Everyone was happy and making sure everything was alright. Finally I looked behind my shoulder and the man who saved me, was gone.
Magnolia
Erza Scarlet:
Master Makarov was finished showing us the new members of the guild, but I couldn't focus in. I was too busy thinking about the mysterious man who saved me, defeated Jellal and saved me again, then left. "What's wrong, Erza?", Mirajane asked, she sat down on the opposite side of my table.
I played around with my cake for a few seconds before looking at Mira. "Just thinking about a guy I met", I replied. "OOOOH, what did he do to you", Mira asked me, having a lot of concern. "Nothing bad, he saved me from myself", I said looking at my cake, after a few minutes I realised nothing could be heard within the guild. I looked up to see everyone's eyes on me. "Wait, he saved you", Mira ran it through her head.
"Titania, queen of the fairies got saved by someone else", Cana joined the conversation just as surprised. "Who exactly was this guy", Mira asked. "He said his name was, Natsu Dragneel. Of the magic council ", Erza replied, surprised at everyone sudden interest. "So thats who was with you after the tower collapsed and then left", Gray said, sitting down next to Mira.
"You saw him, Gray", Mira asked. "Yeah he had pink hair and a white scarf. Besides that, he looked like a normal guy from the magic council", Gray replied, thinking about it a for a little while. "Maybe we could ask Master, he's gone to the council before", Cana suggested and looked to see their master walk past.
"Master, have you ever heard of Natsu Dragneel", Mira asked as everyone from the guild leaned in. Master Makarov's eyes looked across. "He's the only reason why the council isn't up our asses, for the amount of destruction we cause", Master replied. "Why". "Cause with the amount of destruction he leaves after a job, he could rival our guild. Always thought he might make a good fairy tail wizard", Makarov giggled at his own response.
"Any other information". "He's a fire dragon slayer. He works for a special emergency unit within the magic council. He's also the apprentice of the first wizard saint God Serena, although for a while Serena's been somewhere else", Makarov continued informing everyone of this boy. "I've chatted with him for a bit, apparently he's father was a dragon, who also taught him magic. Igneel was the dragon's name, I think".
"Wow Gajeel, I guess there's a dragon slayer more powerful than you", Gray said. only receiving a rough grunt from the iron dragon slayer before he turned around and began eating metal again.
"So, who do you feel about him, Erza?", Mira questioned me. Her intense look with a spark of mischief. "I'm not sure, maybe I can find out the next time we meet", I told her and returned to my cake. Next time I meet the fire dragon. Maybe I might even return his coat.
Worthwood Sea
Erza Scarlet:
Where's Jellal, Where did he go. He just came back into my life just to leave again. From the ground up popped a sight that I was most thankful for. It was the Oracion Seis member Hoteye holding Jellal in his arms. Jellal was beat and battered, bruises stood out on his skin and scratches surrounded his body. "Jellal, are you ok. What happened", I quickly asked the man as he went on his own two feet.
"I defeated Zero…", Jellal told me but avoiding eye contact. He was definitely hiding something from me. Wendy ran up to Jellal hugging him. "Thank you so much Jellal for keeping your promise, thank you for keeping my guild and friends alive". "It wasn't just me, it was everyone here, including you", Jellal said making Wendy's smile grow wider.
Later on I walked up to him while he was leaning on rock wall. "I wanted to thank you, honestly we couldn't have done this without your help", I told him smiling at his return. He just looked at me with his brown eyes. "Erza, that's not true", Jellal's eyes looked away from mine. "I didn't do anything worthy of such praise. Not at all".
I moved to lean on the same rock wall. "So tell me, what will you do now". "Good question… I wish I knew". "It's alright, you're not the only one in that position. Who knows what tomorrow might have in stall", I told him the absolute truth, but his body started trembling.
"I'm so confused". "Of what". "My memory, at times I feel like i'm going to go out of control. But a pink haired man goes through my memory, he told me I shouldn't forget the suffering I caused to so many. But I'm so scared of it returning", Jellal confessed everything to me. for some reason I felt a bit of jealousy, the only thing keeping Jellal together was the memory of Natsu Dragneel.
"Don't be, cause it seems like there's a guardian angel stopping you from changing anything". This made Jellal gasp and look towards me. "Even if we were to become enemies again. It wouldn't change the fact that I still care about you", my heart throbbed saying those words. Even while talking to my childhood friend, images of Natsu flashed through. "You do". "Yeah"
"MY HANDSOME FACE", suddenly bulky Ichiya was frozen in place. All around us was writing on the floor, A jutsu shiki. From out of the shadows casted by the night, walked a whole army of magic knights from the council. Out from the group stood a man in different robes than the others. "There's no need to panic, we mean you no harm. Sorry about this, but we were forced to do something to restrain you. I am the captain of the new magic council's fourth custody enforcement unit. Lahar and most of these people are my army.
Gray stepped next to the barrier. "There's a new magic council. Wait If most of these people are your army, then who owns the other half", Gray questioned looking at Lahar through the barrier. "Where are my manners. Over there is the head captain of the new magic councils emergency unit . 10th Wizard Saint Natsu Dragneel". Some of the soldiers spread out to reveal a pink haired man sitting on a fallen log.
He was damaged to a certain extent and his clothes were in tatters. While he was sitting, another man was bandaging up his arm, when he was gestured too he made an effort to amok the man finish. "Yep, that be me", Natsu quickly replied getting up from the log and placing himself next to Lahar. "Natsu…", escaped my lips before I could stop them.
"Hey Erza, how's it going?", he said with a grin, but his smile quickly returned to professionalism. Lahar began to speak again. "it is our duty to uphold the law and preserve justice throughout the land, so all evil doers must be arrested". "Now I have to ask you to co-operate and hand over the member codenamed Hoteye". Lahar finished.
"No, never", Jura quickly interjected. "It's alright, I'll surrender", Hoteye said. "Why?". "I can not fully embrace a life of virtue. This is my chance to atone for my sins, it's best that I have a clean slate when I find my brother. That way I have nothing to hide", Richard answered for the crowd. After a heart warming moment in which Richard learns where his brother Wally was, Richard was taken away by the council.
"Now let us out already", Lucy told the magic council. "Sorry, but Im afraid thats simply not an option at this time. Not until we've captured our true objective. A fiend who infiltrated and destroyed the magic council, and fired the etherion cannon. A man more villainous than the Oracion Seis, truly black of heart. I'm referring to you Jellal", Lahar spoke with disgust in his voice as he looked at the blue haired mage.
"Let's go, know that if you resist we have explicit orders to kill you". "Leave him alone", Wendy shouted near the edge of the barrier. "Jellal Fernandes is a criminal. Society is in danger as long as he roams free. He MUST be brought to justice", Lahar finished.
Two men from the council walked up and handcuffed Jellal with anti-magic cuffs. "Jellal Fernandes , you are hereby under arrest for crimes against the kingdom". "It's not fair, he doesn't even know what he's done. All his memories have been erased", Wendy cried, Why couldn't I react in the same way. Why couldn't I be angry at this. I looked towards Natsu, he wasn't doing anything, averting his eyes from the scene. Why am I looking at him?
Lahar looked at a man from his squad. "You may take down the barrier now". "Yes sir". "B-but, Wwwait", Wendy stuttered. "It's alright, I will not resist arrest. Please forgive me, I wish I could remember you, I'm sorry I could not, truly", Jellal said looking at the little girl. "when she was lost and alone, you found her wandering and saved her life", Carla stated to Jellal.
"Did I, I may never know the harm I inflicted you and countless others. But at least I know at some point I helped one person. Erza… I won't forget your kindness", Jellal said and then walked over to Natsu. What did he have to say. "As was agreed, you may take me in", Jellal showed his handcuffs to Natsu. "Yep… Dantalian, take him to the cart", Natsu ordered. A man in the council outfit with black spiky hair and a fringe that covered his left eye appeared and took Jellal.
I can't let this happen, I can't let them take him away like this, it's not right. all these years he's been sleepwalking through the darkness, he's finally seen the light. THEY CAN'T SHUT HIM AWAY. Natsu's eyes drifted towards mine and they connected. "LAHAR, IS IT REALLY OK TO BE DOING THIS", Natsu yelled from his position. "Of course, this man has committed many atrocities". "So we punish him for his sins, but totally ignore he's good deeds", Natsu said defiantly in front of Lahar. "It's how this council works, you better remember that Natsu, it's the will of the council", Lahar spoke, getting himself on the same level of Natsu.
"I might have to think about what is acceptable, as a wizard saint don't you think I should have full ownership of my criminals", Natsu continued to argue with Lahar. Why was he getting so mad at a simple act of arresting a criminal. One that he thought he killed. "Don't you think you're asking for something above your rank", Lahar said looking directly into Natsu's eyes. "HE helped me defeat and capture Zero, while he took down the lacrima that controlled Nirvana".
"KNOW YOUR PLACE NATSU DRAGNEEL", Lahar shouted and turned away. "You can ask the magic council all this, i'm just a captain". Lahar began to walk towards Jellal. "Say goodbye to the outside world. You'll at least receive a life sentence", Lahar whispered and shoved Jellal towards the cart, but Jellal stopped for a second. "Scarlet, It was the colour of your hair". I couldn't hold it in anymore.
With a mixture of rage and sorrow I sprinted towards Jellal, I had to save him. My life would be so different without him in it. I moved, darting around each soldier that tried to stop me from getting to Jellal, until I couldn't move because one man had successfully stopped me.
"Stop right there, this is as far as you go to seeing him", the man with the pink hair grabbed my waist and held me very close to his body. His breathe creeped down my neck, sending shivers through my body. "Let me go, I'm going to save him", I stated, trying to make this man release his grip from me. "I can't, I won't let you get yourself arrested for something that is determined", Natsu held me with all his strength.
"STOP ERZA", Natsu shouted and let me go, dropping to the ground as the last council people left. "I'm going to do everything in my power to release him from being a prisoner. So stop trying to hold the whole world on your shoulders", Natsu said looking at the back of my head. The last part felt out of place within his argument. "I should stop holding the whole world on my shoulders, stop being hypocritical. I want to save him", I countered with a new anger building up.
"AND I WANT TO SAVE YOU", Natsu yelled. I stopped, he's only met me once, what is he saying. The rage built on his face. "Goodbye", Natsu said one last time before leaving the area. His pink hair disappearing from sight and I was forced to look at the place that he was last standing. That one spot. My rage began to calm down as it left me thinking. The blue haired man, and the pink haired man.
After an hour of standing there unmoving, my guild mates and comrades eating around me, I couldn't take it anymore, I ran away into the forest. Somewhere secluded, with no one to see me. I stopped at a broken down building, on one of the walls I curled up into a ball and ready to finally think of the scene I witnessed. How could he leave me again, after finally becoming himself again. I couldn't bear it any longer. Tears started to roll down my cheek. But before I could even start to cry more I heard a bang on the stone wall.
My head instantly jolted up, I slowly rose from the ground. reached the end of the wall and looked at the other side. There sat the pink haired councilman, nursing in his hand a flask of an unknown liquid, staring out to the setting horizon. In his other hand he held a normal scroll. What was strange was I kept seeing tears fall from his emotionless eyes. "What brings you here, red head", his words escaped his mouth and the sound startled me.
"You know my name". "Why should I use the name of an ungrateful person", he replied and looked at me, he's eyes were hurt. His right hand was brought to his mouth and he took a long drink of whatever was in the flask. "What are you drinking". "Something that gets me drunk". "Can I sit with you for the time being", I asked looking at the man. "Sure, but don't expect any of this", Natsu said and shook his flask.
As I sat down the twilight wind picked up. I moved closer to Natsu as the night got colder. Neither of us spoke to each other. Time passed and Natsu began to get tired. As his head finally bobbed down and he began to sleep. From his hands dropped the scroll, making no noise as it hit the ground. Seeing him grip so tightly to it, I picked it up. Unraveling the string that held the paper in scroll form.
I looked onto the white paper to see names. Names that I didn't know, no scratch that, on the list was three names that I knew. But they were all de-. "So you took something very precious to me without my permission, are you going to give it back?", Natsu said, his eyes wide awake looking at me performing what felt like a crime. "Why do you have thirteen names written on a sheet of paper?", I asked Natsu, curios for why he would have three people I knew on there.
He looked at the ground, then at the sheet of paper, then finally at me. "Those are the names of people I should have saved", Natsu said looking towards the horizon of the rising sun. I looked at the names that I knew. In the middle was Simon, at the end was Jellal Fernandes. But what surprised me the most was the name at the top of the list. Lisanna Strauss.
"You were there when Lisanna died", I asked looking at the sheet. The silence hung as Natsu looked out, finally the silence broke and he told me. "It was my first mission apart of the emergency unit in the council. I was just a little too reluctant and a girl payed for my sins. Nothing more to it except that day, I swore that I would bear the weight of the world on my shoulders".
"For once… Let someone else bear the world", I told him and leaned forward towards his mouth. He leaned in a bit, and for a moment our lips touched. Before he pulled away. "I can't, Erza", he looked away from me and toward the horizon as the sun started to rise. "This sun rise, I've never seen anything like this. It's a beautiful scarlet, just like the colour of your hair. Warm and full of passion. Raise your head to the sky, and see such a beautiful sight", Natsu finished and walked away. Before he left my sight, he turned around and looked at me. "If you want to bear the world on your shoulders, at least let me help", I yelled at him with a new found passion. "I guess I can accept that", Natsu said.
My life was different than before. I had a man who gave me my name, and a man who gave me a goal. Let no one suffer like we have.
Fiore Branch Magic Council
Natsu Dragneel:
"After considering your request, Head Captain of the Emergency, 10th Wizard Saint Natsu Dragneel. With a agree to disagree ratio of three to five, it would seem that you're wish is hopeless. But after other wizard saints deciding to agree with your request, we have been forced to reconsider. The new agree to disagree ratio has changed to seven to two. We will now allow criminals that have repented for their sins, to join the Emergency unit. First member to join has been decided by Natsu Dragneel to be Jellal Fernandes", Gran Doma spoke through the whole meeting.
Most of the wizard saints were seated listening to the man smiling. I was proud that Master Serena had come to see my request get re-considered. At the front of the room was the 10 chairs that held Makarov Dreyar, Jura Neekis, Warrod Sequen, Wolfheim, Draculos Hyberion, God Serena and me. Slowly the court moved out, and it was just the seven of us sitting in our seats.
"Natsu… You have made me so proud today… Continue with everything to make the emergency unit the greatest unit in the council", Master Serena told me, while striking poses at every pause. Wolfheim left his seat and headed towards the door, but before he left he gave me a slight nod and a smile. "Draculos walked up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Congratulations, Natsu. Continue to improve the emergency unit, and treat my son Dantalian well", Then Draculos left.
Warrod walked towards me, I was fully expecting a joke from the old tree man as he extended his hand towards mine. Warrod didn't speak, only nodded and then left the room. Within my hand was a red flower with blue highlights, that cheeky man. All that was left in the room was Jura, Makarov and me. The two walked up and began to speak. "Thank you Natsu, it warms my heart to know that even if someone commits a crime, they're able to repay their debt to the world", Jura said as he shook my hand. "Now excuse me, I need to head back to Lamia Scale".
"Natsu, why don't you walk with me", Makarov told me and he began to walk. "What did you want to say Makarov", I asked walking next to the man as requested. "You've made quiet your mark on the Fairy Tail guild, did you know", Makarov stated looking up at me. "Have I, I've never been to your guild anyway". "Maybe you should come, maybe even join. I know Erza would be overjoyed to have you there", Makarov continued to talk.
"Her training has increased significantly since you spoke to her last". "That's good to see, maybe she may even join the wizard saints if it's boosted". Suddenly Dantalian appeared out of the side of the building rushing towards me. "Natsu, when are we going to release Jellal". "Calm down Dantalian, I was just heading there", I replied. "Well the prison warden has said that you need to get there quick, or else those gates won't rise today", Dantalian said in a rush.
"Sorry Makarov, but I have to run", I said leaving the old man in the hall.
The man who governed the prison warden was a rough and muscular man, but almost as short as a dwarf. He was bald on top but a had a huge beard that covered his neck, and his eyes could stare into the soul of everyone. When I met him in the prison he just looked at me and nodded. He pulled one lever and the door at the back of the prison was opened. That was it from the man as he sat down and went to sleep.
We reached the now open cell and saw inside the man with magic suppressing handcuffs, several chains welded onto the handcuffs, multiple chains that connected to his legs and arms and finally one large chain around his torso. His head slowly rose up to look at me, his blue hair longer than ever before covering the top half of his red tattoo. "Jellal Fernandes, you are hereby released from prison due to the new law initiated by me and accepted by the council".
"You got it passed", Jellal's eyes lit up as he looked at me. "Of course, although I needed to ask for more favours than ever. But there is one negative to this new law", I told the man, he looked and waited for what was next. "Jellal Fernandes is dead, he died in this prison today. Also today a new man joined the Emergency unit, a man named Sieg Hart", I told him as Dantalian undid the chains that bolted him in spot. "Of course, I'm willing to give my life, Head Captain Dragneel", Jellal stated and gave me a salute once all his chains dropped to the ground.
"Just Natsu, that will be fine. Now Dantalian here will be the captain of the Emergency 01 unit. You're going to be second in command once more people join, understand you two", I asked and they both stood up straight. "Of course".
Tenrou Island
Natsu Dragneel:
The ship that was closest to the land blew up. "Where is, Knight Gilgames", I shouted to everyone on my ship. Dantalian quickly rose up from the bottom deck. "He's exactly where you need him to be", Dantalian told me with a fast pace. "Good. I'm going to be leaving now, so you two are in charge. If you need to leave then Seig is in charge", Natsu stated before jumping off the boat into the deal water. "What does he think he's doing", Sieg asked as he walked up to the captain's area.
I swam as fast as I could to reach the land, we weren't that far away from the land. Again from the land I was swimming to, a giant pillar of orange flame shot up. Finally I reached the land and climbed to the top. That's when I saw the scene, a blue haired girl fighting off soldiers, with only three cats. Right before one man was able to get the drop on the girl, I shot through and protected her from the attack.
"Be careful little girl, or else you might get hurt", I punch a soldier and sent him flying off the edge of the cliff. "Natsu", the girl's eyes lit up with recognition, then my eyes finally saw. "You're that little girl that cried for Jellal", I said as I slammed another soldier's head into the ground without looking. "How are you, scratch that, you should leave now before it gets dirty".
"I'm good, but I can't leave. Or else I won't show the true power of Grandeeney", The girl said and from her mouth.
Sky Dragon's Roar
"Holy shit, you're a dragon slayer as well", my mouth hung for a moment. "Never mind that, we have to fight". More of the soldier tried to fight me but they would just be blown back by my skills. They weren't that strong, but against the normal soldiers of the council they would house a threat, to bad for them the council had some abnormal soldiers.
Each one stepped up to the challenge of defeating me, only to be sent of the cliff into the sea, where hopefully my ship would capture them. "Oi, why is everyone wasting time on this one guy. You should be out there eliminating Fairy Tail. Just leave him to me", a man suddenly talked to the whole of the fighters.
"Alright Zancrow, go defeat him", "Yea you can do it", "That guy was tough". "What the hell was that , we're Grimoire Heart, there ain't anyone as tough as us", Zancrow stated in a huge rage. "But never mind that, Grimoire Heart doesn't need you", Zancrow yelled and a great flood of black flame surrounded the area where the men were standing. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH".
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, WHY DID YOU INJURE THOSE PEOPLE", I yelled at the new man in the fight. He had long wild blond hair that travelled down his back. "They were useless if one Fairy Tail fighter could beat them down, so they deserve to hurt. But think of the good side of it, at least they were hurt in my divine flame", Zancrow commented to me, his red eyes staring straight at me.
"I'm not from Fairy Tail. I'm Natsu Dragneel of the magic council", I told Zancrow, my eyes staring straight at the man as well, with equal force. The man was taken back from the words. "Are you saying I get to defeat you wizard saint. Let's see whose flame burns brighter, the flame of a dragon or the flame of a GOD", Zancrow yelled and brought me into a fight.
This was originally going to be a very long one-shot, but I battled with myself on wether or not to release it now in parts and I think that would be the wisest decision to see how people react. I want to make the second part finish during Avatar and then I will wait till I have a reasonable amount of chapters to work on Alvarez. This isn't going to be released as fast as Dragon's Core so don't worry. As always hope you like the Story and leave a review, it adds fuel to the fire.
