Last time on Dragons!
Natsu is met with changes after a rather weird situation with a certain scarlet haired wizard. He changed his look and Erza did as well, they began to make their way toward Akane but on the cruise something seems to go awry with Erza.
Now!
"Hello sister." Erza's eyes shot wide and she immediately spun, swinging at whoever was whispering in her ear. To her surprise, there was no one there. She frowned, thinking that she was imagining things. Turning back around, she was met with the face of a blonde haired guy with tanner skin and a small scar on his face. He had a smirk on his face and a crazed look in his eyes, like he was ready to murder someone. Erza jumped back, hand already on her sword and a glare in her eyes, but upon scanning the assailant all will to fight left her body as she realized who it was.
"Sho…" She whispered and she fell unconscious as a dart impaled the back of her neck. She fell forward, right into a magical card.
"She'll be out for awhile, toasty." Said a man with an odd body shape, being that of blocks. He walked out of the shadows with a smirk that matched Sho's. "Now we just gotta wait for Milliana and Simon to be done with Salamander and Fullbuster." Sho nodded and jumped off the side of the cruise ship, onto a smaller boat.
Lucy screamed in pain as she was scratched deep by Milliana. She was currently wrapped up in red rope and couldn't access her magic. Gray was unconscious next to her and someone she recognized from Phantom Lord was fighting a larger man who seemed to be handling her rather easily. She had exploded with rage after Gray had been beaten but she was slowly being overpowered.
She was then knocked unconscious by the larger man. "Hurry up Simon!~" Milliana said, getting bored and Simon shook his head, looking around cautiously.
"We can't leave yet, where is Salamander?" He asked Lucy who was barely conscious. She spat at him and he frowned, turned toward the edge of the boat where he spotted a tuft of pink. He walked over, ready to beat down Salamander as well but Natsu was already out cold. He scowled but his eyes widened when he was lifted up by a blue cat with wings. He was then dropped into the water.
Happy then proceeded to do the same with Gray, Lucy, and Juvia. Milliana ran and jumped after the cat, grabbing him. Happy screamed in terror as he began to be cuddled. "Milliana, let's go! I planted the bomb. We have less than thirty seconds." Said the block man and she nodded. She ran and jumped off the boat with him.
Happy screamed Natsu's name and he watched as the boat exploded in the distance, riding away on a smaller boat. He screamed Natsu's name one last time as the boat was reduced to mere shrapnel. Simon, Sho, Milliana, and Wally made a clean getaway as Lucy, Gray, and Juvia were in a water bubble, courtesy of a conscious Juvia. Unfortunately Natsu was nowhere to be found, she summed it up to him being blown to pieces by the explosion.
"We have to go after them." Gray said with determination and Juvia frowned, nodding. Lucy was crying her eyes out over the loss of Natsu but they had to save Happy and Erza. "Let's go! We have no time to waste!" They began to go at high speeds toward wherever the boat was headed.
In the flaming wreckage of the boat a hand burst from the water and grabbed a large piece of wood from the boat, pulling himself up. Natsu emerged from the water with a glare that could make a dragon think twice about a fight. "I'm gonna tear them to shreds!" Natsu yelled, sucking in all of the flames from the wreckage. He then raised himself up onto a piece of wood and with a bust of flames from under the water, they were sent into the air before Natsu used a burst of fire to propel himself in the direction where he smelled Happy and Erza.
Gray yelled out in pain as he was impacted in the chest by Fukuro, he flew back and his back connected to the wall. He fell to his hands and knees and looked up. Fukuro then began to absorb Gray, completely swallowing him. "Fullbuster!" Simon yelled and a now morphed bird turned to him. "Take off my clothes for Justice!" He yelled and he prepared to attack Simon but as soon as he dashed toward him, a flaming fist impacted his gut, making his eyes bulge out and making him instantly regurgitate Gray. Fukuro soared back into a cage and it fell toward the ground, a burn imprint of Natsu's fist on his gut.
Just as soon as Natsu had gotten there, he had run out of the room, leaving Gray and Simon in amazement. "Natsu isn't playing around with this one… he's really, really mad." Gray said and Simon frowned.
"So?" He said but it was more of a question.
"In my squabbles with Natsu, we never go all out and I am on a regular basis, just as strong, if not stronger than Natsu. But when emotions come into play, Natsu gets much, much stronger, his magic gets stronger the madder he gets." Gray said and Simon nodded, understanding now. "From the looks of it, Natsu is headed right for what's his name… Jellal." Gray said and Simon frowned, they didn't have much time.
"Ok, go and leave the tower, time is running low."
Lucy and Juvia stared in amazement as the mangled body of the man they were just fighting, hit the floor. He was covered in burn marks and had a large fist shaped scar on his face. "What just happened?" Lucy asked and Juvia answered, a little less shocked.
"It's Salamander, he seems to be on a rampage like when he fought Gajeel." Lucy frowned and nodded. The opponent that she and Juvia couldn't even touch was so easily beaten by Natsu and the condition he was left in made Lucy worry for Natsu's sanity.
"We must go." They heard and they turned to Wally who had entered the room. "We don't have much time until the cannon stikes us down y'hear." He said and Lucy scowled.
Erza managed to escape Sho pretty easily and made it past Ikaruga without being seen. She made it to Jellal with the intention to kill him but upon laying eyes on him, all of her will to fight left her body. She felt the need to equip more layers of armor but resisted the urge. "Why are you doing this Jellal!?" She yelled at him and he began to chuckle.
"Dear Erza, you wouldn't understand. I am doing this to save the world. I am going to summon Zeref, you are chosen to be the vessel." He said. "Zeref called out to me in my darkest hour, I know I am destined to revive him." Jellal said, a crazed look in his eyes. Erza's own shined with a sadness that was apparent to Jellal. He as also going to use this against her. "Erza… help out an old friend… it's the color of your hair." Erza's eyes widened and tears began to fall. She dropped her sword and fell to her knees.
She felt the tower begin to shake and she was consumed by a blue light. Jellal began to laugh as it died down, leaving the entire tower a blue color. "What is this!?" Erza screamed at Jellal, ready to pounce. Jellal's brother, Siegrain came into existence next to Jellal and they fused, making Erza's heart drop. She pulled out a massive sword and swing at Jellal but he simply caught it and placed a hand on Erza's stomach, blasting her back toward the wall. She collided with the wall and began to sink in, much to her horror.
"The hour has come my lord." He said quietly, turning his back to her. The floor burst open and Ikaruga flew through like a ragdoll, connecting to the roof with a hole in her chest. She then fell to the floor with a sickening crack. Jellal frowned at this but he smirked as Natsu jumped out of the hole and quickly pulled Erza out of the crystal.
"You ok Erza?" Natsu asked and Erza stared at him with wide eyes, he was like a completely different person. She nodded and he sighed in relief. "Thank god, I thought I was too late. Etherion just struck the tower, whatever the hell it is." Natsu said, not knowing anything about the tower. "From what I've learned while tearing apart this guys allies… they are trying to revive Zeref with the magic power of the Etherion blast, I'm seriously starting to resent this Zeref guy, he's more trouble than he's worth." Natsu said.
"Natsu… you can't beat him, besides, you know nothing about him." Erza said and Natsu shrugged. "Natsu's just this once-" Her eyes closed, she fell unconscious as he planted a fist into her gut. She hadn't realized it but tears were falling down her face. "Nat...su." She muttered in her sleep.
"Salamander. You are more reckless than the rumors make you out to be. What kind of sick satisfaction do you get from striking an ally, a woman at that." Natsu sneered.
"You're one to talk Siegrain." Natsu said, emphasizing the Siegrain part. "Besides… she was crying. Erza is a warrior, she's so strong, she isn't supposed to cry, she's supposed to stay strong and stand as a pillar for those that are weaker minded than herself. When she wakes up I want this nightmare to be over. I want her to be back to her old self, and if I have to break every bone in some blue haired asshole's body to do that…" Natsu turned to Jellal. "Then so be it." Natsu said with an intense glare.
Jellal smirked at the challenge. He straightened up a bit and beckoned Natsu to come at him. "Fine then Dragonslayer. Come at me with your best, just don't be mad when I beat the puny dragon's powers back into the ground where it belongs with divine judgement. Come so I can rip off your puny fairy wings!" Jellal yelled and Natsu blasted toward him with a burst of fire.
