Chapter 4: Natsu vs The Buster Call
Robin's mad dash was stopped by her friend who overtook her and blocked her path. She tried to change the track and go around, but Natsu extended his arm and caught her by the hip. "Natsu let go-" Her words wee muffled by a tight warm embrace, her face resting on his shoulder as she cried. "I can't say I'm not an Archaeologist Natsu! I just can't! That's the only thing I ever wanted to become all this time!"
"You don't have to." His reply was short and firm.
It ceased her crying and made her look at him. "W-what?"
"You said you wanted to be known as an Archaeologist, right? Then I give you my word, no one's going to take that from you." His eyes burned with determination that once again made her heart flutter. "Now Saul said your mom's coming to this island right? Let's go see those old guys." Robin gave a small nod.
Holding hands, the two little friends ran towards the Great Library of the World which faced imminent destruction. Their sprint was quiet, but not for long. "So your mother, you haven't ever seen her before, right? What kind of person do you think she is?" He asked as they jogged their way over to the Tree.
Robin's determined face fell a little as she looked down in thought. "I don't know...all I know is that she held me tight before leaving me..." Natsu didn't pester anymore and continued with the soft jog towards the small town of Ohara. With each step the beating of Robin's heart increased and soon the tree line was cleared and buildings came into view. "Look Natsu-" Her words were cut off as she felt a tug that slowed her down. The Dragon Slayer had stopped all together, a haunted look came over his face.
"Robin..." He called her in a ghostly voice, scaring the poor girl, but she held his hand tighter.
"W-what's wrong, Natsu?" She felt him release his hold on her hand and dread filled her as he looked at her with eyes that didn't show his kindness, passion and love. These new ones were void.
"You need to run...go find...your mom...I will come soon..." The pink heads voice was like that of a robot. This scared and confused the girl mightily as the dragon son mechanically turned around and began to take forced steps.
"Where are you going Natsu?" She tried to stop him but the dragon slayer refused to budge. All of a sudden he stopped and looked at the raven haired girl over his shoulder.
"There is someone who is not supposed to be on this island...I need to get him away from you." He spoke out. "You should run and go see your mom. I will get there..." This time, Robin was a bit relieved and jumped over to him and gave a quick hug and shot towards the city.
"I'll be there at the library!" The girl shouted, but no response came from the boy, who simply stared. He knew this feeling. It was the same one he felt before he fought Gray. The same pull of his mind and body. It was once more readying itself for an awakening, not a separate entity or an uncontrollable power. No, this was something else; a purpose, the one which was the whole reason for his existence as stated by his maker. And the only possible explanation he could come up with was that…He is here.
With a sudden rush of fire which erupted from his body, Natsu was gone. Not vanished, but shot through the forest like a bullet, a trail of fire that cleaved the lush forest and divided the earth behind him. Within the matter of a few seconds, he stood at the other end of the island. His back was a little hunched and his fists held downwards with a thick layer of dark red fire blanketing his entire form. His eyes were blinking between red and black as he seemed to be leashing himself from attacking the man who stood at the end of the cliff facing the ocean.
"Maybe I was too hopeful when I thought my demise would mean saving the good of mankind…" A calm composed voice that the pink head was very much familiar with came from the other man in the black robes. It expressed very much the disappointment and sadness like the last time he heard it.
.

Robin was very much sure that something was surely wrong with her town. People were running away from the direction she was headed with fear and panic. She dodged the fat people who swung their arms wildly, trying to add up to their nonexistent speed for fleeing away. 'What is wrong with these people?' She pondered as she used her Devil Fruit powers to stop a falling line of crates from blocking her path.
"What's the deal here? Why are we running?!"
"There's a woman with a gun running through the town and she's headed this way!" That explains the panic displayed by grown men and women. Ohara was a peaceful island. Yes, they are cruel to her, but that didn't place them in the top ten lists. The thing is, the island has been untouched by the spoils of war and carnage of pirates and lack no weaponry at all except the few swords stuck in the Great Tree which were preserved by her mentor for historical references. So a person with a gun was demon in Ohara.
So that leads to the question. Why was there a person with a gun in Ohara? Was it the Marines? Or was it a pirate? Robin could care less at the moment as she continued to step a gear up and charged to the Great Tree of Knowledge. In her mad dash, she passed by a woman who ran in the opposite side, momentarily she slowed down after figuring out that the silver haired woman who held the long gun was the culprit for the whole commotion here. Shaking her head, Robin applied her full focus on arriving at the destination once again.
Soon the great tree came into view and the girl in a haste, slammed the wooden door open to find all of her mentors in a startled state, not just from her abrupt and rude entrance, but from something else too. They all had some documents and files that were being moved into the secret underground room which they use to study Poneglyph, but within seconds, they dropped all of those papers into the underground room and closed it before covering it with the floor carpet.
"R-Robin?" Stella, one of her tutor, a blonde woman in her mid twenties was the first to address her. "What are you doing here?" She asked as they all waited in cold silence.
Suddenly, all confidence and determination faded away from the little girl as she heard the question of her purpose here. "Uh…" She nervously looked to the side, unable to look anyone in the eye. "D-Did my…Mo-Mom…come here?" There were looks of horror on some of the people's faces, but the one who were in Robin's visual range kept their faces straight for the sake of Olivia, if not for the little girl they all had come to love and care for over the years.
The blonde archaeologist was unable to look the little girl and quickly turned around and fled into the group behind her and let the chief take the lead. Clover was in fact prepared for this and with the added time by his student who took the frontline, he was now ready completely. "What are you talking about Robin?" He asked in the best surprised voice and face he could come up with and saw the expression on the girl's face go down and continued to take the lie further. "There's no way your mom would be in Ohara, but why the question all of a sudden?"
Robin once again grew nervous. "Oh yea…I heard Marine Warship's are coming to this island to capture all archaeologists, is there any problem in the island?" She asked as she looked at her favourite mentor for answers that even he as reluctant to give.
Clover folded his hands and let out a defeated sigh. "About what you said, they are not Warships, I heard that they are Government Ships coming for the strictest investigation ever." He walked over to the little girl and crouched down to her level and looked her in the eyes. "Listen Robin…even if the investigators come to you, you must not let them know you are an archaeologist, for they will never think a little girl like you will ever be one." The girl stared blankly at the man's request. But before she could come up with a response in her mind….
BHAM!
The door slammed open and men in black uniform suits rushed in with guns waving and pointed at all the people in there, including the little girl. "Stop whatever you are doing and put your arms in the air and move outside! NOW!" The seemingly superior officer who had a black shade and formal hat shouted out the order to the unfazed crowd.
"Aren't you being a bit too violent?" Clover asked monstrously but not in the least did he make any move to oppose the government officials.
The Ohara Research facility has been subjected for direct investigation by the World Government on the information of committing the heinous act of suspected deciphering of Poneglyphs!" The Government agent shouted out and this caused most of the archaeologists gathered to make a stand against them, this included their mentor too.
Standing toe to toe against the man in black, Clover spoke bravely. "Do not disturb this place, everything here is very precious to mankind and you could never price their value." The other man wasn't fazed in the least.
"That doesn't concern me! Take them outside!" He shouted out to his men.
"Yes sir!" They responded before grabbing Clover and his men and women; dragging them out without a care as another team moved in and started to rummage through the priceless shelves where countless years of history was sleeping. There were struggles from the side of the archaeologists as they saw the invaluable treasures being tumbled and tossed by the men in black. Alas their struggle was still in vain due to the heavy strength and numbers the government sent.
"Is that it? Are all the scholars here?" An agent asked as all the Archaeologists sat on the floor with bumps and bruises with exception of Robin who chose to stand next to Clover with no injuries at all.
The Head of the Archaeology department of the world sat with his head down and arms folded. "Robin," He called the raven haired girl who immediately looked at the man. "I heard there was an evacuation ship at the West shore, I don't know what the Government plans to do with us…but you should go. Take that boy with you too." He didn't look her in the eyes, knowing that it would be impossible.
After a moment's silence she spoke. "No…" She replied. "Nobody there is nice to us…I will stay here with everyone else…" She clenched her fists and steeled her resolve.
"Robin! Do what we tell you! That Natsu boy is probably on that evacuation ship by now!" Clover hissed at the girl in a desperate attempt to spare her the grim future they all were going to have.
"No! I am like everyone else also!" She protested fiercely.
"Robin! You don't-" Before Clover could attempt to convince the girl a little more, a ominous sadistic voice interrupted.
"How are you all doing?" The words were just as empty as the man who spoke. There were three men, two in uniform suits and one in a gray suit and a striped overcoat draped over his shoulder like a cape with a bullet hole on the right shoulder.
"Greetings, sir!" All the men shouted together at the arrival of the man in gray suit, but the eyes of the archaeologists widened at the sight of the woman who hung over the shoulder of the underling who walked beside the strange man.
'No...' Clover and the others thought as the man dropped the beaten up lady on the ground. 'Olivia...' With the sight of the hair colour, Robin recognized her as the one who carried the gun and scared the townsfolk, but from the current turn of events, she doubted the older woman was a terrorist of any sorts.
With a smug grin, the newly arrived boss of the division spoke. "I didn't know you allowed such a dangerous beast, be let free in your forests...almost killed me..." He pointed at the hole on his right shoulder.
"Robin, you need to get to the evacuation ship...go..." The stunned girl looked at the Head of Archaeology from the pitiful sight of the silver haired woman, who by the way slowly looked at the girl who was talking to Clover with a proud smile.
'Robin...you have grown...'
BHOOM!
A giant explosion came from the side of the Great Tree, drawing all the attention of the gathered. All of the Archaeologists had horror on their faces. "Sir," One of the agents held out a Den-Den Mushi at the Chief of CP9. They are requesting for you." Spandyne took the receiver.
"Speak!" He demanded.
"Sir there appears to be a stone with Poneglyphs carved into it and obvious works of research in the basement." The snail spoke with a dutiful face and a cruel smirk came over the government agent's face.
"Wrap it up and get out." He ordered before looking at the archaeologists. "Your death penalty is certain oh great and wise Archaeologists-!" His words were cut off by the sudden sound of an explosion that ruptured from the east side.
"!"
Dome shaped explosions of red fire drew all of their attention to the direction. "Dammit! Did they start initiating the Buster Call already?! I am still here!"
.
.
.
.
.
On the far side of the island, duel was taking place, a fight to the death from one participants view. Torrents of fire were spat around and flame clad fists kept launching at impossible speeds, resulting in a major combinations of explosions and damage to the forest.
But the fight was all too soon over.
The victor was the mage in black and he was more than pleased with the current results he saw in the little Dragon Slayer. He promised more hope than before, but this all he knew from the beginning. The only thing he was unable to predict was time. So long has he waited for the boy to be re-forged into the mighty weapon that was on the edge of destroying him and yet he was saved by his loyal minions.
"You still have much to learn Natsu...hopefully, the coming years will be for your bodacious rise..." The calm black haired man spoke to the Dragon Slayer who had several burn marks and ruptured skin wounds and the wild stance which showed his rage through his pupilless red eyes. He had no intention to let this battle be shifted to a later date.
Oh how the much more civil enemy knew about this. "I am more than aware of your mental pull to continue this battle, and I know once you unleash the power that I placed in you, you would certainly defeat me, but my plans have changed, I have let humanity destroy itself, and my plans have gone nothing according to what I have thought earlier...so, it's not going to be a simple death for me, I have a lot in mind..." The pink haired demon was only a second away from launching his assault on the black haired man when he stopped. A small creepy smile came over the enemy's face. "It seems you have too..."
The red misty red eyes quickly vanished to reveal onyx eyes that were looking towards the opposite end of the island where the Great Tree was. "Robin!" He gritted his teeth and whipped his head back to look at the other man. "This isn't over!" He didn't bother for a reply as he shot of from the scene and created a new path to the Great Tree, leaving the man in black robes to slowly make his way through the path created by the pink haired boy, not at all concerned by the explosions that had began to take place due to the slowly increasing explosive projectiles that struck the island from the marine ships.
Natsu had blood dripping from his forehead due to the burns and cuts that lined his face. He winced every time his feet came in contact with the ground but nonetheless he was obsessed in reaching the Tree no matter the cost. Too focused, he failed to see the incoming projectile that landed ten feet in front of him and exploded.
BHOOM!
Without a second's waste he came on the other side without a scratch added to the already existing ones on his body and continued to make his run to the Great Tree. And in a matter of a few minutes he was standing in front of a partially burning Tree of Knowledge. "What the-" His voice was seized when a sight was caught by the corner of his eye. A familiar silver haired woman was staring of into the forest where he felt Saul and Robin's scent were headed. The scholars were either running towards the tree to put out the fire or too beaten up to move from their spot on the ground and the old Library guy seemed to be with the second bunch.
Without wasting any more time, he ran closer to the tree and opened his mouth and began to suck in the air. The fire that lighted the tree's branches and trunks quickly obliged to his will and without delay guided itself into the pink head's mouth, much to the shock and delight of the scholars.
"Natsu?" The silver haired woman called his name as he came close to finishing the fire up. Wiping his mouth he turned to look at her and gave a toothy grin as he jogged over to her and slapped away an incoming shell.
"Olivia! How are you here?!" He cheerfully spoke, a stark contrast to his present physical condition and the situation they were all in. Then he took a whiff of her scent and the injuries followed by the facial features that he failed to take into account back then. "Wait, you are Robin's mother?"
A week back…
"Number one!" He cracked his knuckles as he set his vision on the Navy man in front of him, narrowing his eyes, piercing a glare through the man who remained calm with his weird look. "Never ever share sensitive information about Fairy Tail with anyone as long as you live!" Natsu launched at Borsalino in a dash, red flames exploded off his body, surprising the Vice-Admiral who was unable to launch a defensive action. Olivia watched as her friend push the tall man who attacked them away from the docks, but what surprised her more was what he was saying.
Borsalino brought down his fist on to the boy's head, which the latter countered with a flaming fist of his own, sparks of electricity covering the joining. "My my, I am soooo excited!" The Vice Admiral spoke as he brought down his other fist. Natsu grunted as the wound on his chest began to tingle slightly, but nonetheless caught the other fist with his free hand and held it there.
He didn't respond to the man's comment and continued on. "Two! You must never-" He jumped out of the path of a light beam which erupted from the dark haired man's chest that destroyed the ground beneath where he stood moments ago. "-contact any clients you may have worked with for your guild for your personal gain!" He roared. With tearful eyes the woman tried to jump off the ship, but was stopped by her remaining comrades who themselves had tears flowing uncontrollably as the shame of letting a child shoulder the wrath of the government hit them.
"What are you blabbering about? Hmmmmmmhhhhh Not that I care especially when none of you won't leave here aliveee!" Borsalino giggled childishly, adding it to the malicious situation Natsu was in, but the dragon slayer was not affected in the least way, he knew this wasn't where his story ends. This won't be the place where the son of the Dragon King will perish and end the lineage of the mighty Igneel.
"Fire Dragon's Talon!" Borsalino has seen his fair share of Logia users, but none of them did what this boy was doing right now.
"Ahhhaaaa hhhhaaaaa!" The Vice-Admiral's eyes widened in fear as his body was enveloped by the fire that burned his skin a little, even after changing into his Logia state and reassembling a little away. 'That was soooo clooossse!' He gave a grin of excitement at the prospect of fighting someone actually worth his time in this boring mission.
"Olivia!" Natsu called out, turning to look at his friend, his body sprouted flames that began to circle his body. His eyes bore into hers, and there she saw it again, the fierceness that scared her when they first met, but now, it warmed her, it showed her that there wasn't a force that could come and harm her as long as he stood. "Although our paths must stray!" His fire grew hotter. "You gotta promise to live the rest of your life to the fullest!" He cupped his mouth as the ship moved farther. "That means to treat every day like it's going to be your last day in this world!" He brought his right hand up and extended his index and thumb finger, showing his guild's sacred symbol.
"Natsu!" The woman cried in agony.
The Dragon Slayer continued. "Don't forget the friends you made! You must treasure them for as long as you live!" He roared as he brought down his raised hand into a fist and whipped around, driving it into the abdomen of the tall attacker as the Vice-Admiral tried to knock him out from behind. The force behind the fist was so strong that, the Logia user was once again forced to shift into his light form and scatter in order to avoid the full blunt of the force. The fist's power shook the island as it made contact with the ground.
He looked at the man who landed a few meters away from him and still had his annoying laid back face. "Well I guess goodbyes over?" He joked as the dragon slayer growled in annoyance. His Draconian eyes observed the man's movements closely. The Marine raised his hand and stuck out his index finger. "Dodge this if you waaantt but I recommend you not, because I would hate see that ship get hit by this!" The tip of his index finger glowed and the light morphed into a small golf ball like projectile which stayed at the tip of the man's index finger.
SWOOSH!
The light projectile shot like a bullet at the grounded dragon slayer who gave a grunt and stood his ground with his feet planted firmly on the destroyed ground. Even with the projectile being of such small size, he could feel the massive power it contained. And as the Navy man spoke, any move to evade the attack would result in it charging towards Olivia's ship that was in its path.
Letting out an animalistic grin, a magic circle with a Dragon head formed on his right fist. "Fire Dragon King's FIST!" The two attacks collided and as expected, the small ball of light was indeed a simple cover for the massive destructive force. A shockwave consisting of red flames and yellow light erupted into an expanding ring that tore apart the area the Dragon Slayer stood. The mud and grass vaporized and the pink haired boy's long sleeve was taken along, revealing his muscular forearm that had veins popping up. As the explosion cleared, the boy was found standing on a long platform that was in the centre of a massive crater that was slowly getting filled by sea water. He moved his fist, revealing his sweaty face and laboured breaths.
Upon placing his vision back on the arena he saw that the Vice-Admiral was no longer there. "Where did you go?"
"Riiiight heeeerreee!" The Dragon Slayer's head shot up into the air to find the missing man levitating on the air. Natsu gritted his teeth. This wasn't going to end well, especially with his closed wound from before burning up like hell. But at the same time, Olivia's ship was not much further from the attack range, so making up his mind fast, the Dragon Slayer ran towards the dock at breakneck speed. "Ah running? Toooo laaatteee." The dark haired man gave chase through air.
"I am not running away dumbass!" Natsu shouted over his shoulder as he reached the last plank of the long fishing dock and leapt with a mighty step while drawing in his breath simultaneously.
"Ohhh...you aren't? Hmmm…" Borsalino placed his hand on his jaws. "Oh well, you are going to die anyway. So it shouldn't matter anyway, right? Besides I have something new to try out!" He crossed his arms in front of him and a golden spark ignited between the cross. " Yasakani Sacred Jewel!" A torrent of golden needles reigned on the boy who was in mid air.
'Here goes nothing!' Natsu thought as his cheeks puffed while facing the direction Olivia went.
ROAR!
There was no fire or offensive capable element in his move, only a strong gust of wind, which was followed by the dragon like roar. The purpose was to hit the Archaeologist ship with enough wind so that it was now a mile away. "Alright-" The highly destructive attack launched by Borsalino finally made its presence be known and reigned on his back like mini ethernano bombs.
The Archaeologist's ship quietly gained distance from the island and away from the heavier marine vessels that were unable to keep up with the speed and distance the ship gained. That was all he saw before his body was blown away a long distance and finally plunged into the salty waters of the sea.
"So they are all…" Natsu felt a lump on his throat at the news of all the archaeologists on the ship being dead. The town of Ohara was close to becoming a parking lot, but Natsu knew there was no one there and the only place he had to protect from the Marines was this. Steeling up his resolve, he looked at the woman. "Robin's my friend, and she said she wanted to be known as an Archaeologist of Ohara, and I intend to keep it that way." He shot another ball of fire from his hand that countered another explosive projectile. Without waiting for any reply, the boy took off towards the battle ships that were firing at them.
On board one of the Navy vessels…
"Sir there appears to be something protecting that tree from our attacks!" A sailor yelled out to the Rear-Admiral onboard.
"What?" The unknown commander snapped his head towards the junior officer and looked into the direction of the tree and found his words to be true as the cannon balls sent to destroy were getting destroyed in mid air. "What the hell's going on?!" The man yelled the question that was never supposed to get a quick answer.
"I am happening you navy prick!" A ball of red flames shot from the forest before them and yelled out as it landed harshly on the front deck of the ship's front. The soldiers were unable to do anything as they lost their footing from the sudden somersault the ship went through and helplessly screamed as the ship fell upside down.
The sailors from the neighbouring ships seized their activities for a moment and looked at the scene in horror. And adding to this was the sudden explosion on the inverted ship's hull and the same fiery projectile shooting out of it.
"Holy shit! That thing's headed to us! Fire at will!" A Vice-Admiral roared out but the same fate happened to them too as the ship was barrel rolled to the side of impact. Jumping out of his second prey, the dragon slayer temporarily stopped to see which ship to choose next, but his eyes quickly landed on a scene that alarmed him. Saul was on his knee with a frozen left arm and Robin in front of him. Swiftly turning in mid air, he summoned his dragon flames underneath his feet and launched at the man in black coat who was the cause of all the suffering his giant friend was in.
"Hey Ice-Prick!" The Vice-Admiral who was about to freeze the former Vice-Admiral was stopped in his track and whipped around to see the image of a boy who had a flaming fist cocked back and ready to strike.
"A friend of yours Saul?" The sunglass clad man questioned the fallen giant but didn't wait for a reply and raised his hands in front of him. "Cool down kid, Blizzard Wall!" A wall of thick ice was immediately formed in front of him, blocking the path of the incoming fire brat.
Natsu grinned and with a mighty roar he slammed his fist on to the wall of ice. "Fire Dragon King's Iron Fist!"

The Archaeologists were having a tough time digesting what was happening right now. And they were not worried about the part where their lives were in danger a few moments ago. They had already predicted that long back when they first started their illegal researches. But the thing that they never fathomed was the Government's decision to annihilate the entire island, well, that was the first reason anyway. The remaining are as follows. Nico Olivia coming back to the island in one piece, Robin finally understanding who her mother was, the giant who took Robin to safety, Natsu and Olivia knowing each other, Natsu's actions against the Navy and finally the current phenomenon which made everything except themselves freeze. The ash, the wind the leaves that floated in air, everything.
"Hey I see someone coming!" One of the archaeologists yelled out to the others at the approaching
Gathering outside, Olivia and Clover stood in the front and saw that the approaching individual had two floating objects on either side of his shoulder that were slowly disappearing. And when he was in view, many gasped at the two objects, which were actually two little persons who were dissolving into the wind in their sleep. Robin and Natsu.
"What have you done to my Robin and Natsu?!" Olivia screamed in horror as the mentioned two kids disappeared completely.
The dark haired man looked at the Olivia and the head Archaeologist with a sad face. "They are safe, and as long as Robin stays with Natsu, she will live on." There was a pause from the group, partially relieved at the possibility of the man's words being true while others still horrified at what they saw. "They are far too valuable to be destroyed at the moment." He assured them.
"And what of us and Ohara?" Clover asked with a scowl.
The man in the black robes didn't answer immediately; he simply looked at the old man with sadness. "You will perish with the Buster Call." His voice was eerily controlled. There were looks of horror in the faces of the Archaeologists.
Clover didn't even flinch like his students did. "So it is true, you had an important part in the Void century..." Olivia's eyes widened at what her old mentor spoke. "Zeref Dragneel..." The name that the man only recently disclosed to his students and the name Olivia found out in her journey. This was that man?
Zeref didn't seem to be surprised or angered at his identity being found, but he already knew this, that was why the whole Buster Call was initiated. "You have successfully completed the task of understanding the ancient texts messages, haven't you?" The immortal asked non threateningly. There was a moment of silence; no one spoke as the two elders stared at each other. Then a small sad smile came over Zeref's face as he closed his eyes. "I wanted..." He paused. "I knew Ohara would finally come to know of that era, and more than anyone, I wanted those secrets out."
These words shocked them. "Then why are you doing this?!" Olivia got up from her knees and stood up weakly. "If you knew that then why are you doing this now?" She gritted her teeth.
"It wasn't time yet." Zeref's eyes grew cold. "I have already planned everything, and that includes the secret of the Void Century being public knowledge, but it is too early to let out that information without the destruction of the world." His words didn't offer warmth or any emotions.
"How do you intend to do that if we are destroyed?" Zeref turned to Clover and stared at him blankly.
Letting out a tired sigh he began. "As I said, I need more time to set everything on the right path and place. Maybe a decade or so, and by then all of your research will be recreated, word to word." He spoke without doubt in his words.
Disbelieving looks were shot at the legendary black wizard. "How? Who is going to do that?" Olivia questioned sharply.
Zeref did not speak for a few seconds turned to Olivia. "Your daughter," The woman's eyes widened in fear. "Nico Robin." He gave one fleeting look to the archaeologists whose deaths have been prolonged by his magic till now and spoke. The reason why I let all of you into this conversation was to thank you personally for all that you have done for mankind." He gave a humble bow which meant nothing to the people who were at deaths door. "Farewell Ohara." He swiftly turned on his feet and started to walk away and immediately, explosions began to reign down on the island once again.

The Ice Devil Fruit user raised his eye brow in surprise. "That's strange, I just thought I saw a flying boy about top attack-" His eyes caught sight of the empty space behind him that hosted the giant who he defeated. "Well I be dammed…" He gave a sigh and began to walk away from the dying island. "Don't worry kid, I am pretty sure we are bound to run into each other in the coming years…" He adjusted his black shades and continued on ahead.
Any power that surpasses reason still comes from reason, right?
Sorry for the late update. I was busy…well it's complicated…
Anyway, to the chapter. Yea, it was rather rushed, but I didn't want to stick on to this arc for too long and didn't want to develop the characters here.
Then, have you read Chapter 506 of Fairy Tail? It was god dammed disappointing. *SPOILER ALERT* Erza stops END Natsu's and Grays fight by blocking their attacks. And that is overlooking the fact that END had difficulty in holding Gray! WTF! END is just a mindless Natsu who only managed to defeat Marie and yet couldn't finish Gray in one blow. The fight sucked! What is wrong with Hiro Mashima? First he brings back that two dollar shit Jellal and give him the bombshell Erza, now he does this!
Thanks a lot!
