"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Sound*

"Attack name!"


"No, I wasn't planning on killing any of your precious family! For the last time, leave me alone!" Natsu grabbed him by the collar and lifted him in the air with an evil glare in his eyes. "I can't sense any lies in what he says Natsu. I know you don't believe him but maybe there's another solution to the problem, maybe it wasn't him." Natsu threw him on his ass. "Then who did!? I don't want to hurt any of them, I finally beat… Jellal…" Natsu glowed bright and he disappeared. Zeref followed suit.


-Real World!-


Natsu opened his eyes and so did Zeref. "JELLAL!" He ran out of the door and he blasted toward where he had fought Jellal. "NO!" He roared. Jellal was gone. It made sense. Jellal kept fleeing, getting stronger, and coming back to kill him with a new power and strategy. The only thing left for him to try was curses, with curses he could possess END and kill everyone. END was unstoppable for them so it made sense. "FUCK!" He punched a tree and it was incinerated. "Brother, we will find him." Natsu nodded. "I know, I just don't want him to hurt them…" He began to pace around.

"We should go fight for now, there are still a couple dragons in Magnolia." Natsu nodded. "You're right, Metalicana and Gajeel can't have all the fun." They returned and knocked out five more dragons. He had only invaded Magnolia with one-hundred of the dragons. The dragon's didn't seem to be that powerful, it was like they couldn't use their full power. Natsu didn't see a single fire dragon either. He was half expecting Acnologia to show up but he hadn't seen him since he had his arm severed. They decided that the best I idea was to sleep and go after him when they are well rested.

Erza and Natsu went home and Nova followed slowly behind them as they walked. Natsu pecked Erza on the lips. "I can't believe he has this big of a grudge." Natsu said out of nowhere. "If I know one thing about Jellal, it's that he can hold a grudge. When the guards hit him he would get so mad and relentlessly attack them until he was subdued." Natsu snickered. "Yeah, I can see that… was Jellal actually ever nice to you?" She nodded and smirked. "I used to be hopelessly in love with Jellal." Natsu choked on his own saliva. "R-Really?" He asked and she laughed. "Yeah but it was a childish crush that I had on someone because he had blue hair and a face tattoo."

He sighed. "Yeah, I can't really be jealous of that now can?" She nodded. "U-Um... " Natsu and Erza turned around. "Hmm? What's the matter?" Nova had a blush on her face. "Can I stay at your house tonight?" Natsu grinned and she frowned at him. "Of course. Make yourself at home." He said with a cheery smile. He walked in the door and held it open for Erza and Nova. "I can show you the guest room." She nodded. He walked down a hallway and opened a door. "Here." She nodded. She didn't want to take anything from him but she had to for now.

She walked in and closed the door. "The mission is still incomplete." She sighed. "I don't want to spend anymore time than necessary in this timeline. "Ok…" She laid down on a white bed with white pillows and white covers. She put her hand on her forehead. "Damn it dad…"


-Flashback-


"Daddy! Daddy!" A little girl with waist length pink hair yelled as she ran toward Natsu. Natsu grinned and picked her up, throwing her in the air. She laughed as he caught her. "What's the matter Nova?" He asked and she gave him pouty eyes. "Asuka is going on a mission! When do I get to go on one!?" He grinned again. "When you turn ten. You're only 4 right now." She pouted and he smirked, putting her on his shoulders. He spotted Erza in the distance. "Hello Natsu." She said and he grinned, he leaned in and kissed her passionately, causing Nova to fall onto Erza's head. "Eww!" Nova said and Natsu laughed. "Good, I wouldn't want you kissing anyone anyway.

The ground began to shake and Natsu jumped in the air with her on his shoulders. "Erza move!" Erza jumped up after him and avoided a large crash below her feet. When the dust cleared it was a cloaked figure. Natsu set Nova down next to Erza and he glowed for a moment. He was then revealed in a black vest with a dragon on the back and a pair of baggy white pants tucked into black boots. His scarf was draped around his shoulders. "That's low, even for you Jellal." Natsu said and the man removed his hood. His previously dark eyes were red and his tattoo was glowing purple. His hair seemed to be floating due to his power.

Natu entered Fire Dragon King Dragonforce and he got into a battle stance, he had to be careful with Nova around. Natsu blasted toward him with immense speed that surprised Jellal and Jellal received a heavy kick to the face that sent him like a rocket through the air and skidding across the ground. Natsu landed on top of him and punched him in the face, attempting to knock him unconscious. Jellal managed to avoid the punch and he kicked Natsu away. Natsu was on the opposite side of Jellal that his family was so he could look Erza in the eyes at the moment.

Jellal smirked and he held up a hand toward Erza and Nova. Natsu's eyes widened and he blasted toward the blast, deflecting it. He kicked Jellal in the stomach as hard as he could, sending him much further into Magnolia.


-Shopping Center-


Next to a familiar ice mage that was out shopping. Jellal raised his hand and sent a blast at Gray. Natsu couldn't get there in time to block it, instead he made his way in front of it and recieved it to the chest. He yelled in pain but it wasn't over as Jellal's hand burst through the smoke and impaled Natsu through the chest. "Natsu you dumb bastard!" Gray yelled and he watched at Natsu's head fell limp. As the smoke cleared Jellal was standing there with a hand through Natsu's chest. "Kill me if you want…" Gray heard. "But leave my family and friends out of it." Jellal laughed.

Natsu's body began to fall back and Jellal grabbed his collar. "The demon END… I make you surrender and do my bidding! Curse of Binding!" Natsu's eyes turned black and chains appeared on his neck before glowing and disappearing. "Kill him." Jellal pointed at Gray. Erza had just arrived on the scene and she witnessed this. Tears streamed down her face but she had no way to beat him, technically Natsu was dead so she couldn't enter Dragon force. His scarf was flowing through the air. She grabbed it and she grabbed Nova's hand, running toward some random location, using the way Natsu had taught her to mask her scent.

A large explosion erupted behind her and she wanted to scream. Her husband was dead and Gray probably was too. She had to think about Nova or she would be out there fighting too. She hid under a rock with Nova. "Mommy? Where'd daddy go?" Erza covered her mouth and whispered in her ear. "Daddy is going to be gone for a while… Let's go see uncle Sting." Nova nodded and they fled toward Sabertooth.


-Flashback END-


Her hand glowed and a raggedy version of Natsu's scarf appeared in her hand. She hugged it to her chest. She didn't know exactly what had happened but her mom told her eventually that her dad had died and he let END take over. She hated him, he gave up… He killed everyone she loved and she would get revenge. When the time was right, she was going to execute Natsu before Jellal gets to him. "It's the only way…" She told herself. This definitely wasn't an easy task.


-Natsu-


Natsu got a chill down his spine. He felt evil intentions but he didn't know from who. "You ready for bed?" He heard and he looked over his shoulder at Erza. "Yeah let's get to bed." He pecked her on the lips and they laid down to sleep. Erza fell asleep rather quickly and Natsu got out of bed. He put his scarf on the nightstand as well as a note.

He began to walk out of the house. He walked toward the training field where he usually trained with Erza. He sat in a little patch of grass and began to meditate. "Ok END, I need to talk to you." He entered his mind. Nova had followed him and was in the treeline, hiding her scent and watching him, seeing if he was up to any evil. "What are you doing?" She whispered to herself.


-Natsu's Mind-


He entered and he spotted END looking off into nowhere. "END, I need your help." END smirked. "Oh and with what?" Natsu sighed and he put on a determined face. "I want you to teach me about curses." END looked a little surprised and his eyes softened for a moment. Natsu noticed this but didn't say anything. END extended his hand and a book appeared in his hand. The book of E.N.D. Natsu examined it. "I summon you forth, Sayla!" He yelled and an attractive demonic woman came into existence with a bright glow. "What is it that you seek master END?" He chuckled. "I need your help to teach him about curses Sayla." She nodded.

"First off, I created curses." END said. "When the one magic was branching off into many different kinds of magic, I went my own way. Curses usually work best with negative emotions such as Envy, Hatred, Rage… Pain. You get it, however, with you I think it may be a different case because you should have a natural affinity due to you being me." Natsu nodded. "Mard Geer thinks that curses are superior in every way but that's not true, certain magics can easily counter curses, such as take over magic. The white haired woman stole Sayla's demon curse from her and beat her with it for example." Sayla nodded.

"Now, that being said, I haven't tried to use curses and magic simultaneously but it could probably be done, say an enhancement curse to amplify your magic power and the heat of you're fire. Create a simple flame in your hand." Natsu did as he was told. END glowed for a moment. "Curse of enhancement." The fire on Natsu's hand grew tenfold in size. "I think that that blue haired man… Jellal, has now got access to curses so you must be careful around him. He is also the worst kind of scum so he will not hesitate to use those you love against you." Natsu sighed. "Didn't you do the exact same thing?" END shook his head. "No, I did that so I could get out of an otherwise hopeless situation." Natsu nodded.

"So what kind of curse were you thinking about?" Natsu tapped his chin. "I was thinking about two curses. The first one is one similar to Wendy's enhancement… the second one is… well, I want to use a curse permanent magic and curse removal. I want to strip Jellal of all ability to use magic and curses… permanently." END nodded. "It's not impossible but if you are really willing to strip him of all of his freedom, you must have to hate the guy more than anyone else in the world." Natsu closed his eyes and the black void changed to swirling fire and the sound of Jellal's pained screams. "I want him to suffer." END smirked.

"Then let's make haste."


-The next day-


Erza woke up and she examined the note and scarf. He just went to the training field for some practice. A great smell hit her senses and she entered the kitchen. Nova was cooking pancakes. "Well that's one thing you inherited from your father and not from me, I can't cook, where is he anyway, is he back from the training field?" She shook her head. "No, he is just sitting there, meditating, I think he's training in his mind." She nodded. "He's the only person I know that can enter their own mind, I just wish I could too. But if he entered his mind then the training he is doing must be insane."

"What do you think he's training on?" Erza scratched her chin. "Maybe he's training with END to amplify his magic, by the way, what kind of magic do you use?" Nova smiled. "I use ten kinds of Dragon slaying magic and requip magic." Erza spit out her drink. "Ten!?" She nodded. She held up her fists and began counting them off. "Fire which I'm best with, Ice, Water, Lightning, Poison, Sky, Shadow, Light, Death, and Steel." Erza slowly nodded. "Where did you get the Death, Ice, and Water?" Nova giggled. "D- Natsu has death which since I'm related to him I have a natural affinity for, Ice and water I learned simultaneously when I entered the dragon world." Erza nodded.

"Can you combine all of the elements at once?" She shook her head. "I can only use three at once right now. My favorite is Molten Sky Mode." Erza frowned. "Molten Sky?" She nodded. "I can use melted metal and with my sky magic I can make it so the air is heated to extreme heats." She nodded. "And none of those elements affect you?" She shook her head. "No. But I do know one thing, I can only eat one thing at once unless it's a fusion raid like Sting and Rogue." She nodded. "How about you and Natsu spar when he gets back." Nova frowned. "Sorry mom, that's not happening, I still have Ptsd of when I watched him kill you." Erza nodded slowly. "I'm sorry." She said out of nowhere. "Huh?" Erza pulled her into a hug. "I'm so sorry, It's our fault that your life was terrible."

"N-No mom, you gave me a wonder life, even without him. I couldn't be happier, besides, I wouldn't have gone to the dragon world if it didn't happen." Erza sighed. "Look, when you get older in this timeline I will have Natsu take you there so that you can learn all the dragon slayer magic you want." She shook her head. "It's not just the magic." I am so much more powerful than when I went. I was defeated by END easily, now I could probably stand up to him for a while." Erza hardened look. "That's a problem, you have the wrong mentality. You must go into every fight with the mentality that you are going to when or there is no way you can win." Nova laughed.

"What's funny?" Nova looked down sadly. "That's literally the opposite of what future you said, she told me to run if I ever encounter him…" Erza frowned. "It seems future me lost the will to fight." She nodded. "You could say that…" Erza sighed. "Do you wanna come with me to check on Natsu?" She nodded. "Sure." They ate and left toward the training field. Erza put the scarf on and Nova noticed this. "You're wearing that scarf? Look." She summoned her raggedy scarf. "I think it's the same one… you gave it to me with your dying breath, right before I went to the dragon dimension." Erza looked at the scarf sadly. "That scarf was Natsu's… he received it from his foster father who was a dragon."

She put the scarf away. "I don't care whose it was… you gave it to me and I will protect it with my life." Erza smiled. "Good." She spotted Natsu. "He's still meditating?' Nova said aloud. They stepped into the field and they noticed the air was much hotter. They were both used to it so it wasn't that big of a deal. He coughed up blood and wiped his mouth out of nowhere. He had a blue glow around him. "Hmm…" Nova smiled. "Do you wanna know how to get into his mind the old fashioned way?" She nodded. "Sit next to him in a similar pose and lace your fingers with his."

Erza did as instructed and she closed her eyes.


-Natsu's mind-


Erza reopened her eyes and saw Natsu on his hands and knees in front of END who had a stern look on his face. They didn't seem to notice her and END yelled. "Again!" Natsu stood up and he put his hand in front of him. Erza spotted Sayla who was being used as a practice dummy. "Curse of Disfigurement!" He yelled and she winced but she recovered quickly. "Almost there master." Sayla said and Natsu fell over again. "Get up!" END yelled and Natsu did as he was told. "Do you want me to kill everyone you love!? I will make it so that Erza never walks again, and she will still have her legs!" He said, implying that he would continuously rape Erza. Natsu growled. "Curse of Disfigurement!" He yelled and Sayla's eyes widened. "It seems that my magic and curses are gone master." END nodded.

"So it's because you need that heavy rage and hatred." Natsu sighed and he fell on his ass, breathing heavy. END made Sayla disappear before summoning her again with her magic and curses refurbished. Natsu looked over and spotted Erza. "Huh? What are you doing here Erza?" He asked and she smiled. "Nova showed me how to get into your mind. So this is what you are doing? You are going to seal Jellal's power?" He nodded. "I can't seem to keep him dead so the solution is taking away all of his magical capabilities, including the ability to use curses. He will then spend the rest of his time behind bars."

"We are not done here, You don't know how strong Jellal is in the future and you need him to be subdued to cast this, just because he has to stand still." Natsu nodded. "Red, can you go get Nova for me?" END asked and she frowned at him. "Fine." She looked at Natsu. "How do I get out of here?" Natsu grinned. "Gimme a kiss." She smiled and pressed her lips to his. They parted and he chuckled. "Now just picture yourself waking up in your mind." Erza nodded.


-Real World-


Erza opened her eyes. "Nova, I need your help, come into his mind." Nova hesitantly nodded and grabbed his hand, entering the position and closing her eyes.


-Natsu's Mind-


They both reopened her eyes. "Good, now that you are here." Nova spotted END and he power skyrocketed. "You bastard!" She entered dragonforce but the thing that was different was the fact that the scales weren't all one color. Every other scale was a different color, signifying all ten of her elements. "Calm down Nova!" Natsu yelled and he entered Dragonforce as well. He matched her power just in case he had to stop her, which he did as he blasted in front of her, stopping her from attacking him. She punch at Natsu which spun around her and put her arm around her back and slammed her into the ground. "Nova! Calm down, we are preventing it from happening right now." She began to breath heavily before her dragonforce faded and he slowly let go of her arm.

She stood up. "What do you need my help with?" She asked in a cold voice. "We need a decent image of Jellal's power in the future. "He was strong enough to keep up with Fire Dragon King Dragonforce mode." Natsu nodded. "Now how does this help us?" Natsu asked END who smirked. "I need you to think about Jellal and you fighting if he had that much power. Natsu nodded. For some reason it began to rain and Jellal took form. Natsu began to be surrounded by steam. "Fight!" END yelled and Natsu rushed at Jellal, entering Dragonforce Fire King Mode. They began to trade blows. "Now! You need to figure out a way to stop him from attacking your family and friends to distract you from sealing him." Natsu nodded and Jellal fired a beam of light at Erza. Erza covered herself but nothing happened. The beam was stopped. "See? Get rid of him for a moment." Natsu did so and he disappeared.

"You need to use a curse that protects them, or be fast enough to stop it, here, try the curse of enhancement on your body." He nodded. He raised his hands. "Curse of Enhancement!" He yelled and he attempted to make himself stronger. He exploded and flew back. "Again!" END yelled. He then turned to Erza. "You can leave if you want we are going to be here for a while, he is only leaving to eat." She nodded. "You wanna head to the guild Nova?" She nodded.

They exited his mind.


-Real World-


Nova didn't seem to wanna talk at the moment and Erza was determined to find out why. "What's on your mind honey?" Erza asked and Nova frowned. "He's so strong… I couldn't even move my arm… how was he beaten so easily by Jellal…?" Erza frowned. "He was beaten easily?" Nova nodded. "Yes, Uncle Gray said he was shopping and they landed next to him before he basically just gave his life away." Erza frowned. "Gave his life away?" She nodded. "I don't know why but I won't let it happen again." Erza smiled and nodded.

"Why didn't you come back earlier?" Erza asked out of nowhere. "I uh…" Nova didn't have a good response for that. She couldn't tell her mom about the plan or she would try to stop her. "The truth is… this isn't the first time I came back… it's the first time I came back this far but before this I tried to intervene the fight, the problem is that with them fighting, I wasn't able to get anywhere near them…" Erza nodded. "I see…" It was a lie but Nova managed to scrape by. It wasn't a lie though, really, she had tried before but she had to stop herself because she had almost made it to where her birth didn't happen.

They got to the guild and entered, beginning to converse with their friends.


-Natsu-


"Curse of Binding!" Natsu yelled. Jellal was on his knees in front of him blood leaking from multiple wounds, gashes, and yelled this and put his hand on Jellal's forehead. Jellal screamed in pain and Natsu increased the power of the curse. Jellal's eyes were filled with a blinding blue lighting and he went stiff, outstretching his arms and screaming in pain again. It died down after a minute and he fell back. He managed to stand and he ran back away from Natsu. "What have you done to me!" Natsu grinned like a maniac. "I've sealed your magic and curse abilities. He then walked forward. He caught a punch from Jellal and twisted the fist harshly, causing Jellal to bend to his will. Natsu then leaned close to his ear and whispered. "Permanently." This whisper could be heard in an echo.

"Kill me…" Natsu grinned wider and an evil look appeared on his face. "Live with it." He kicked Jellal in the side. "END I need one more thing." END frowned. "What do you need?" Natsu's grin widened. "I want the help of Tartaros." END's eyes widened. "Why?" END sighed. "I want to ensure victory even if he brings an army." END nodded. "How about you just kill him instead?" END asked with hope. Natsu was beginning to be tainted by the curses. "Kill him?" Natsu asked.

The area around them turned to the original top of the tower of heaven. "Can't you see Erza cares about you!?" Jellal laughed. "I could care less! She will die with you!" Jellal ascended into the air and began to cast the abyss break spell. "DIE!" Natsu blasted up toward him. "I'll make sure that you never hurt her again! JELLAL!" Natsu delivered a flaming dragon fire punch to his face that was so hard that the entire atmosphere filled with white magic power and he roared. A dragon image appeared behind him and it roared.

Natsu directed Jellal to the tower and he blasted him through every single floor, destroying most of the tower and most of Jellal.

Then it turned to after the Laxus attack. It was Natsu and Jellal in the forest. "I guess I have to put you back in that box." Jellal turned to face him putting on a blank look. "Huh? Who are… you?" Jellal asked. Natsu sighed. "Really? Faking you're lost memories?" Natsu punched him in the face. Natsu then used a lacrima to call the royal guards. Natsu proceeded to chop Jellal's neck and he fell unconscious. When the guards arrived Natsu handed them Jellal. "Don't tell Erza Scarlet." The guard nodded and Natsu left.

It was a brief flash of him and END delivering a devastating punch and sending him out of the tower of heaven.

"How would I kill him? I need him to repent for what he's done and what he's tried to do to Erza." END nodded. "I know, which is why you make the death painful. Seal his magic then break everyone of his bones, after that talk to him about what he's done before you finally plunge a flame covered hand through his heart." Natsu nodded. "You're right, that would be too cruel even for what he's done… I think these curses need to be used only when absolutely necessary." END shook his head. "I don't think you should use them at all, I think you should just take precaution before you fight. Get Erza to safety."

Natsu smirked and nodded. "I knew you cared about us." END growled and his face turned comically red. "No… I just feel the same emotions as you and your love is absolutely undeniable for Erza or your kid." Natsu nodded and a sad look appeared on his face. "I just don't want her to have the same childhood Erza and I did…" END sighed.

"As for Jellal, I will find a way to counter his curse just in case." Natsu nodded. "However! That's doesn't mean you can slack on your training! Let's begin!" END yelled and he burst with fire, blasting toward Natsu. Natsu dodged and his fist's lit ablaze as well. He planted it into END's face. END flipped back and grinned. His cheeks grew big and he unleashed a black breath attack. Natsu jumped to the side and he ran with the roar following behind him. He jumped over END and kicked him in the back. "Fire Dragon's Secret Art! Crimson Tornado!" He spun in a circle and a large tornado of fire consumed END and he began to spin around rapidly, flying into the air.

He leaned back and punched a fireball at Natsu who had already blasted at him. END pushed himself back and he slid to a halt on his feet before dashing toward Natsu and punching at him. Natsu slipped to the left and he closelined END, slamming him into the ground, channeling his magic and causing a large explosion. END reached up and placed a hand on his chest. "Curse of Sealing!" He yelled and Natsu lost his ability to use his magic. END then began to beat on him. Natsu grinned. He didn't need his magic, it didn't stop him in Edolas.

He punched END right in the jaw and sent him flying to the side. Natsu dashed at him, slamming down on top of him with a heavy stomp to his gut. Natsu then grabbed his ankles, spinning and throwing him across the black ground. Natsu had so much brute power that he could fight on par with Gildarts without his magic.

END appeared behind him and planted his foot into the back of his head. Natsu flew forward. "Ok, we are done for the day but you need to come back tomorrow to train." Natsu nodded. "Could I train in my sleep?" END nodded. "Yeah but it would be best if you didn't do it around Erza." Natsu cocked his head in confusion. "Just look around when you leave." Natsu nodded and he closed his eyes.


-Real World-


Natsu opened his eyes. It was dark out. Erza was resting her head on his shoulder sleeping. He grinned. He then looked around. "Oh." The treeline was scorched. Erza didn't seem to care, she probably was resistant to fire now. "Hey wake up Erza." He shook her lightly. She stirred. "Huh? Natsu?" He nodded. "Lets get home." He picked her up bridal style and he began to walk. "Erza… I know you're pregnant but I think you should stay active, just in case I lose and you have to fight in my place." She sighed. "I know… I just feel really lazy." He nodded. "How about this, when I go into my mind tomorrow, you come with me." She nodded and yawned, falling back asleep. He was now outside of the house.

He entered and went to their room, putting her on the bed. He heard stirring in the other room. "Good night Nova." He said quietly. He heard her stop. "Good night." She said quietly. Since they were dragon slayers they could hear each other. Natsu smiled. She was talking to him.

He laid down next to Erza who stirred again and re-quipped her Pj's. Natsu followed suit and with a dim glow he changed into a black skin tight tee and white shorts. "Goodnight Natsu, I love you." He grinned and he pecked her on the lips. "I love you too, goodnight." Little did they know, things were going to get worse a lot quicker than they anticipated.
