My OC finally makes _ first show in the story. Not giving any spoilers, here is the chapter, so have a good read!

Heaven's Gate Arc Chapter - The start of the crazy carnival!

"Gah, I hate trains!" Natsu churned in his stomach and was trying his best to hold his puke in. "If only Erza was here… then I could sleep on her lap… oh how I loved her lap!" Natsu exclaimed, earning him all kinds of looks from the other train passengers.

He sighed, and slumped back into his train seat to brace for another hour to go in the nightmarish seeming transportation, but he was willing to do so to rescue Erza. An hour later, the train finally stopped, Natsu's long patience bearing fruit.

He got off the train as fast as his legs could carry him, and looked back at the train from the platform after walking quite a far distance away from it and by far, he was outside the station one whole mile away from the train in a taxi. That is how scared he was after the ride. The taxi driver stopped in the designated Fairy resort beach, where Natsu walked to the boat port.

He was mentioned by the messenger that there should be a boat with his guild's logo on it prepared by the guild council, and so as he went into the boat, he screamed, go driver, we need to get there a.s.a.p.

Holding back his stomach, Natsu prepared for the ride, when it hit him; the boat was not moving. He slowly proceeded into the hallway before the navigation room. Slowly opening the door, he looked at the empty room, and realized that there was no boat driver.

Lighting sparked in the sea, and the sea turned stormy. His stomach started to churn as the boat started to bob due to the tides. Why? This was still at the port, yet he had to start having a stomachache. And this had to occur at the worst timing possible; Ezra's life was on the line!

Taking out the anchor from the seabed, Natsu revved the engine of the yatch. He turned the wheel around and headed in the stormy seas, puking all over the room to save Erza. He thought to himself, "Erza, you are always such a difficult person, even when I want to save you, but you know that I will always help you." and sadly smiled then looked forward.

Soon after the storm stopped, and the sea started to get foggy. He could see the vague structure of something that looked like a tower. "That must be it", he thought. "That must be the Tower of heavens." Natsu pulled up the boat to the side of the Tower and anchored it to the seabed of the surrounding sea. "Better get moving." He muttered then ran into the tower.

"This is going to be interesting." Jellal muttered as he saw Natsu dashing across the tower's hallways with his lacrima powered mirrors. "Lets hope you might have enough power to play with me for a while." He snickered, and then moved on to make adjustments to the tower.

Natsu stormed through the floors of the tower, defeating the mages in the end of each floor and the guards that protected the floors. He was getting dizzy; scars were all across his body and blood gushed out through them, staining the floors with red velvet blood.

Panting, he climbed the last stars of floors; his hands dragging across the walls, providing balance so that he would not fall out of extreme blood loss. Reaching the final hallway, he defeated the guards that were protecting the floor and headed towards the hallway where a man who looked as if he was made out of squares greeted him.

Natsu managed to voice a weak chuckle as he saw the man. The man angered screamed. "What can be so funny when you are going to die by my hands?" He charged with a intent to kill Natsu, and Natsu managed dodge his punches, barely being able to stand.

The man snickered and laughed maniacally and inquired, "My name is Simon, and I am truly interested in your name, the man who can still dodge my killer punches in a state of near death. So what is your bloody name, eh fool?"

Natsu weakly responded, "Fight first, then talk fuckin' box head!" Then he charged with all his might, putting his flames on the max level, emitting a weak purplish flame that barely covered his body.

He directed his flames to his punches, then exchanged a set of fierce blows; each with the intent to kill a man. "You have good punches, they make me excited!" The man screamed like a lunatic. Natsu knew he had to end it fast, and in the end, these people were probably trying to stall for time.

He quickly jabbed the man in the face, followed by a fiery uppercut, which on impact, shattered the man's jaw and sent him flying across the room, his body hitting the wall, and slowly falling down, blood stained on the wall.

He fell down, and Natsu gave a final blow to his face, rendering him unconscious, and in a close to death state. A pool of blood surrounded the body, and Natsu staggered for a while, then gained his footing and climbed the final flight of stairs.

He reached a platform filled with ancient words and spells, and the gate in front of him as well. "This must be it", he thought. As he was about to open the doors, a blur of shadows circled around him.

Carefully looking at the blur, he noticed that they were a bunch of mages blocking the door. One of the mages whispered, "He must be the one who almost killed Simon." Another one screamed, "A friend of the betrayer Erza, who ditched us and made a run for it eh?"

They slowly started to circle him and started to close in the distance, then they all attacked one after another. Everything looked like a blur to Natsu. His body ached and he felt cold. "This is as far as I go." He thought when he heard a dark and evil voice, yet it was sweetly echoing in his head.

The voice sneered and inquired Natsu, "Use my power, and you will save Erza. I am sure you can control it. Let your power infuse with mine, and let us kill Jellal." The voice stated. "Kill him Natsu, yes kill him! Kill the one who hurt Erza Natsu, kill the man who took her away from you." Voices of Natsu echoed through his mind.

"Stop it, stop it, I can't kill him!" Natsu shouted in his mind, a pitch-black darkness around him, and images of a dead Erza around him. "But you can, Natsu." Another Natsu came over him, and looked at him. He had a bloody face, and he had the head of Jellal grasped him one of his hands. "Why don't you just listen to the voice and let yourself go berserk!" He screamed like a lunatic.

"Because then it wouldn't be me saving her, and I would be hurting her instead." Natsu replied. He continued on saying, "Erza wanted to save Jellal, and so I would only sadden her if I killed him right in front of her. That would make my efforts useless, because I came her to save Erza, not to hurt her."

All of a sudden the voices disappeared, and Natsu felt dizzy, and collapsed in the pitch-black darkness in his mind.

"I guess I couldn't make him turn evil even at the last time, eh?" the once dark voice turned into a more womanly and caring voice. "That is maybe why you saved my life Natsu, and that is maybe the reason I live till today residing inside your body."The voice gently spoke, eyes popping up in the darkness, looking at the consciousness of Natsu unconscious in his own mind.

Now sleeping, Natsu felt strange warmth enter his subconsiouness, making him smile at the warmth, which was radiated by the other being living in his mind. "Mom." Natsu sleep talked.

The voice chuckled, then gently spoke after sighing, "Natsu, I am not your mom, and I am still young. Children these days."

The being took a form of a woman, and then put Natsu into her lap and gently patted him and thought, "If you were not there that day, I probably would not have experienced the times you had been through after and the happiness you felt which I had never felt in my whole life before. That is why I believe that you are my savoir, Natsu, and so I shall protect you and your friend Erza for today, but you will owe me."

Flashback:

The town was covered in rubble and ashes, as a young Natsu walked around grabbing food that was in the burning shops of the market. The whole town was red with fire, as he scourged for food.

After gathering the necessary items, he moved on to get some clothes, but there was none; the fire had burned them all. In the midst of this chaos, a woman was laughing madly in the middle of the town hall, covered in blood and grime.

She was laughing manically, looking at the town burning in ashes and the looks of hatred that glanced at her from the people who were running from the flames. She saw the most ugly sight of humans possible; parents leaving children behind to die, people killing each other, people jumping off rooftops in despair; it was all too ugly.

Then she caught a glimpse of a pink haired boy, dashing through the stalls and gathering the kids, moving them to safety then scourging for items necessary for the kids. She looked at the boy, then caught his hair, and pulled him back.

The kid looked at her; she expected eyes of hate and anger. Instead, the boy looked at her with the face of someone who was earnest to rescue, the face of a forgiving person. Angry by his response, she threw the boy whose body got slammed against the buildings walls.

She snickered, looking at the building fall, and she broke the buildings next to her. A bunch of people gathered around with weapons and wands, each of them running towards her to kill her for making this town burn. She thought, "This is a befitting death for me, a demon who has killed people for centuries, under the order of humans."

She closed her eyes, waiting for death, but heard the noises of people getting beat up. Opening her eyes, she saw the boy she had lunged towards the building using ancient magic of dragon slayers.

The boy came closer to her, and she closed her eyes once again thinking, "Kill me boy, I know no one will forgive me for what I have done, and no one believes me and that I have killed others because humans forced me to. In the end humans can't trust any creature other than themselves. Where ever I went, in the end the people came together and tried to kill me, because the council wanted me dead. No one trusts me, and no one will save me, so this is the only way I can die in peace. Even though its not my fault for killing the people, to you people, I am just a monster. A cold hearted monster who never can love someone; that is how I look to people."

To her surprise the boy patted her head then spoke, "You are not a bad person, so don't give up. I know that you are a good person, even though you are a demon, you have a heart that can love another person, so don't die, just because other people want you dead. By doing this, you are just making their jobs easier. Do you think they care if one or two cities died? The fact is that they don't, so live on. I will take care of you, so come with me." The boy comforted her.

"What do you know about me, when you don't even know how I feel!" The woman shouted at him, trying to slap him, her knees had given away, her body slouching in the ground, tears of sadness and pain flowing from the eyes, dripping on the ground.

The boy caught her hand and responded, "I know how you feel, because I have been treated like a monster too. All of the villages and towns I went to, I had people look at me like I was some kind of monster. Even when I was in trouble, they did not help me, so I understand how you feel," the boy related to her.

The woman, shocked and overwhelmed by the fact that the small boy was facing what she hated for so long alone and did not still hold the urge to kill the humans out there.

She screamed at him, "Then how can you forgive them still. Why do you save them, even though you have faced the things they did to you!"

He replied, "Because I have hope that one day I will meet better people who will accept me for who I am." Tears started bursting out of the woman's eyes, as she drenched the shirt the young boy was wearing.

She pleaded to the young boy, "Help me then. Take me with you and help me feel happiness." "Alright." The young boy said.

She stood up, but the wounds on her were taking its toll. She knew she was about to die, yet she did not want to die, not when she found such a person who was willing to trust her.

She pleaded, "I can't go on in this state, so can I please seal myself in your body and mind, so I can heal myself and get better?" "Alright the boy said, as he held her hand and put in on his small chest and then a sealing sign appeared.

Slowly the woman's body was sucked into his body and a large seal covered him, which became transparent. Her last words before entering his body were, "Thank you for saving me."

Flashback end.

Outside Natsu's body:

Natsu's body started to change. His hair started to turn grayer than pink, and it grew silky and white.

His eyes were black on the parts they were white, and his pupils and cornea changed to a yellow tint, and black slits of a reptile, which resembled a dragon, emerged in the middle of his eyes and his nails increased size and changed color to a black red color, somewhat like a ruby with black gazes all over, or like a bloodstained sword.

His body became whiter and his muscles enlarged and his mouth was covered with a stone type mask, which was engraved with teeth of a beat on it.

Wings of a demon sprouted from his back; from two scars that were never there before, and he had grown an ebony black tail and scales covered his arms, and were covering the edges of his upper body and covered his legs and hips completely, only stopping and not covering his two feet.

The mages were shocked. One whispered to another, "Could he do that before, because Jellal did not tell us about this." Natsu, now a completely different person, because he was, snickered and shouted, "Hey you pricks, stop talking behind my back and fuckin' bloody open the motherfuckin' gate!"

At the same time, he sent one of the mages flying across the room, and killed the mage with the impact of his hit. It shattered the pieces of Etherion behind him. The rest of the mages ran and opened the door, and as soon at they were opened, he killed them all, using his tail to punch holes in their hearts, causing them to die instantly.

As Natsu entered the center of the room that Jellal was sitting in, the doors slammed shut, and Jellal screamed, his back turned at Natsu, "Welcome to the boss fight!"

Natsu shouted, "Fuckin' Jellal, what did you do to Erza?!" Jellal, overconfident in the weak state of Natsu that he saw before, opened a door; inside was Erza who was held captive in a crucification styled fashion, seals all over her to prevent her from gaining energy to break the seals.

"You bastard!" Natsu roared in rage, his subconsiousness almost going berserk.

Jellal snickered, then turned to Erza, and sent a bolt of electricity to Erza, rendering her conscious from her sleep; a cruel way to wake someone up.

"Hiii Erza!" Jellal lunatically screamed. "Look at who ahs come for you!" He pointed at Natsu, and Erza weakly turned to look at him. She was shocked to see a totally different Natsu, now his face going crazy, his rage taking over his will. He snickered, a maniacally laugh echoing across the room.

Jellal turned around, shocked at his laugh; Jellal thought that he was in a near death state, but here to his surprise he saw a totally different man. Natsu looked like a monster, his mouth dripping with saliva, his mask now opening in half, showing blood red teeth, with a ebony black red tongue. He laughed at Jellal, and then charged at him.

Jellal in an instant felt the intense pain soar through his body, then both of his hands were ripped off his body, like he were some doll. Natsu started punching holes through his legs, rendering him unable to use any sort of spells. Jellal screamed in pain, his voice echoing across the room.

Natsu looked at the man and slowly started to cut his flesh apart, smiling crazily like a death parlor man. "Help me Erza! Please save me, I don't want to die!" Jellal screamed as he dragged his heavily bleeding body slowly towards the room Erza was in.

Tears flowed from Erza's eyes, as she saw the tragical scene unfold in front of her. "Lets leave it at that, neh Natsu?" she whimpered in fear, no longer knowing what he had become into.

She repeated desperately, "Cmon Natsu, lets save me and heal Jellal and hand him over to the council alright? Cmon Natsu listen to me, don't you love me anymore?" She screamed. "I just wanted to help Jellal, so please don't hurt him any longer, alright Natsu?"

Natsu stopped in his tracks for awhile, leaving Jellal whose body was gushing out blood to slowly crawl with his body frame towards Erza, in a desperate attempt to survive, his body gushing out a large stream of blood, staining the floor around him.

Natsu snickered, then let out a mad laugh, a laugh that held some sort of sick joy and pleasure in torturing people. He then stomped on Jellal, and then started to kick his face. He snickered and said, "Is this the muscles on your stomach that let you still move?! Well say goodbye to them, Hyahhhahahahahahahhahahahah!" And with that said, he shoved his hand into Jellal's stomach muscles, earning him a scream of pain that made him feel in ecstasy from Jellal.

Erza screamed in desperation and the newfound fear she felt when she looked at the changed Natsu, the fear she had never felt until today. She spoke in a last attempt to stop Natsu, "Natsu, stop this at once, don't do this otherwise I will never love you again." Natsu, his mind going insane replied coldly, "Do you think I care about that farce anymore? Did you think about how I felt when you left me in that rain to go after Jellal? And yet here I am, the fool arrives to save Erza.

I'll make this easy for you to understand Erza, you played with my feelings. You thought of me as some disposable toy who would be able to satisfy you until he came. And now you say that you love me! Stop spewing all that melodrama shit you bitch! You left me without caring about me and now you say you love me, now… all of the times…. Now…. Why Erza…"

The mad Natsu slumped on the floor and tears fell out of his eyes. He spoke in a painful voice, "Do you think I can forgive him for what he has done to you! I loved you Erza, and you were about to get killed because of this man… so he does not need you anymore. He is not worth living anymore. He should just die. Yes, he should just die! Hahahahahahahaahaha!" Mad screams were heard from Natsu, and soon after, he shoved his tail into Jellals heart, and killed him completely.

He then walked over to the petrified Erza, who was crying uncontrollably from the events that occurred, then he broke the seals off Erza, and broke the hold that Erza was in. He broke the whole hold, letting Erza fall on the ground, then was about to hold her and take her back when she said, "Don't come closer to me, you monster. I don't need you to help me anymore. I will get home by myself, so get out of my sight you monster."

Natsu stepped back, falling on the ground and turning back, his eyes madly bulging in their sockets, glimpsing at Erza; the words she told him were like an arrow that hit him in the heart. He weakly responded, "But… But I did it for you… I came to save you… so why?" Erza coldly responded, "Get the hell out of my sight monster!"

He cried. The world seemed to collapse around him.

Each of the things he was seeing seemed distorted, and bigger than him. To him, the whole world felt as if it was mocking and hating him. "Get out of here, Get out of here, get out of here you monster!" Voices were screaming at him.

He started to remember the things he was told when he was a child.

He remembered the times people threw stones at him to chase him out of the city, telling him, "Get out of our sight you mutant monster dragon! You are a failure as a human! Never show yourself again in this town you got it!"

He screamed, his voice filled with fear and pain. Erza, shocked by the turns of events thought that Natsu would beg her for forgiveness and would take her back no matter what she did to him, and was expecting him to kneel and beg, but instead she saw him go crazy.

She saw Natsu desperate, screaming in pain and his voice held a extreme hatred for everyone. She looked at him with shock, tears falling from her eyes. Who was he. Why was he crying when she called him a monster.

Then it hit Erza.

She knew nothing of Natsu before he came into the guild except for that he was abandoned by his parents and was taken in by Igneel. She slowly approached the crying and screaming Natsu who had scales all over his body.

She knew that he was a totally different Natsu, perhaps a side of him that he wanted to hide from her.

She had to help him, and so she held Natsu's hand and said, "I'm sorry Natsu! I never knew that you had been bullied and hated by people like this, I never kne_"

She was interrupted by Natsu who held her mouth and said, "Shut it. I was wrong to think of you humans as good people. In the end, she was right. The person I met that day in the burning town in the middle of the town hall was right. Humans are disgusting selfish creatures who only care about themselves. In the end they value their own life than others."

Erza tried to argue with him that she was not the same, when gripped her shirt and screamed at her, "Then why did you leave me alone? Why did you leave me alone, like my mom and dad did? I thought you promised me, that you would never leave my side… so why?..."

He slowly fell on her and started crying, and Erza said, "Natsu, I am so sorry, I will never do it again." They both then returned to the boat, Erza supporting Natsu. Natsu unanchored the boat after Erza got in the boat and sat down in the navigation, some of his blood dripping down his mouth. He then revved the boat, and steered the boat back to the beach.

After they reached the beach Erza and Natsu got off, Erza supporting Natsu and walked to the hotel. Erza paid the rent and they entered the room, where Erza was about to help Natsu sleep when he suddenly collapsed.

Blood started to gush out of his body, and the scales started to return to normal, as well as his body.

Erza shouted, "Natsu, get a hold of yourself, Natsu!"

He saw the world as a blur, then saw a woman behind him. She said, "Natsu, you should forget about the things you don't want to remember. You should come to me; ill help you feel better."

Natsu slowly went to the woman, and thus, he fell unconscious. Erza, shocked by what had happened pushed Natsu back and forth and screamed, "Natsu! Shikari shite Natsu!"

Well that is the end of an arc! I hope you all had fun reading this chapter, and as promised i made the chapters long n' jucy for all you fellow readers. To all you readers more insanity to come in next chapter!
