"speaking"
""thinking""
On with the story
A year later in Alvarez
Irene was in a dark room as she was looking at a giant tube as Natsu was in it as dark tentacles latches on to him as he floated in the water within the tube
The fight with Acnologia, drained him of his strength as his magic was barely there
"Natsu…." Irene voice out as she touched the surface of the tube
Irene gritted her teeth as she got him into this
""I should've went with him""
She then walks out of the room as the door closes without her noticing that Natsu was moving in the tube
"i…..re….ne….."
Natsu's voice spoke out as his finger twitches while in the tube
Hallway
Irene made her way to the throne room where Zeref had returned with Natsu
She then spotted Juliet and Heine waiting for her in front of the throne room
"is Mr.E.N.D gonna be alright, Irene-sama?" Juliet asked Irene with a worried look on her
"you fool, E.N.D-sama is the mighty demon of Alvarez, of course he is going to be fine!" Heine retorted to her comrade
"I don't know" Irene spoke with a worried look on her as Juliet and Heine looks to their creator with sad faces
They then went in the throne room where Zeref was sitting on his throne with the rest of the Spriggan 12 with him
Throne room
Zeref was sitting on the throne with a solemn look on him as he leans his face to his hands in front of him
"without Natsu, no one can stand a chance against Acnologia" Zeref muttered out in solemn as he looks down
He then looks up to see Irene with Juliet and Heine coming in
"any progress on Natsu?" he asked her as Irene shook her head
"nothing" Irene said as she looks down to her ring on her left hand
"it is all my fault" Irene said as a tear falls down her left eye as she frowns
"no" Zeref said as he stands up from his throne
"Natsu did it to protect your daughter, Irene. Not only that, he did it because he promised to you and that is what matters" Zeref said as he smiled to Irene while placing a hand to her shoulder
Irene looks to him before nodding
"but Emperor Spriggan, without E.N.D-sama, who on earth can fight off against Acnologia?" Invel asked to Zeref who frowned
"Even with me being immortal, I doubt that I can defeat him"
Zeref said as August frowned to him
"then I will assist you in your battle, Father" August volunteered to fight alongside him
"thank you for your bravery August, but no, magic cannot deal any harm towards Acnologia at all" Zeref said as he walks back to his throne
"the only way to defeat him is by using curse power or an unlimited source of magic, one that I do not possess"
"but what of Fairy Heart, Father, surely that could give us the tactical advantage" Larcade suggested to Zeref who looks down a bit as he was thinking about it
"Fairy Heart does posses unlimited power to one who use it, that might…." Zeref said as he looks hesitant
"don't even think about it, Zeref" a voice spoke as Natsu appeared beside Zeref's throne
"Natsu!?" Zeref and Irene exclaimed as she went to him but was shocked as she went through him
"sorry Irene, the me who you are seeing is just a thought projection of me" Natsu said as his hand went through Zeref
"like I said to you Zeref, don't even think about it" Natsu said to his brother
"you know what is needed to be done to get possession of Fairy Heart"
Zeref squinted his eyes as he nodded to his brother
"I dealt a heavy wound on Acnologia that should halt him from further chaos in the future" Natsu said to him as he walks to the others
"don't do anything stupid. I will be the one to handle Acnologia"
He then looks towards Irene
"sorry Irene, looks like I got to wait out a few years before I get to hug you again" Natsu apologizes to her as Irene nodded in understanding
"I'll be sleeping in the meantime, Nii-san"
Natsu then started to fade away as he disappears and leave them all there
Zeref takes out his necklace and looks to his locket that had the old picture of him and Natsu as kids
"what is needed to be done…."
Zeref muttered out before walking out of the throne with the rest of the Spriggan 12 looking at him
At Fairy Tail
Everyone was in the middle of welcoming back Erza and the others from their mission
Gray and the others were all happy and satisfied with their success in their mission except for Erza who sported a frown as she would always go to the bar ever since the incident at Tenroujima
"Erza?" Lucy called out to Erza as she sat down beside her
"what's wrong?" She asked her
"nothing" Erza replied before Flaze hopped to her shoulder and did a little growl to her
Erza smiled a bit as she petted the little lizard
The Tenroujima group looks to her as they all know what was wrong with her
Everyone at Tenroujima knows that Acnologia was fighting against a man named Salamander as he was the one who saved them from catastrophe that time
When they got back to Tenroujima to find him, they found no result as they only saw a barren wasteland from the result of the battle
"we never even got to thank the guy" Gray muttered out
Erza then stands up from her seat and started walking out to the door
"Erza-san?" Wendy called out to her
"just getting some fresh air" Erza said to her as she exited the guild
Everyone then looks to her as they all sported a worried face for the scarlet hair woman
"let her be" Makarov voice out as he was sitting by a table with a mug of beer
"she has a lot of questions running through her mind ever since." He took a gulp of his beer as he sighs
"it is best that we give her some time"
Makarov then looks to Erza who was walking straight to the forest near Magnolia
In the forest
Erza and Flaze who was walking beside her, were walking in the forest with no destination in mind as they kept on walking
"who was he?" Erza said as she and Flaze got into an opening in the forest where she sat down near a tree with Flaze jumping up to her shoulder
"why does his voice sound's so familiar?" she muttered out as questions keep popping out of her head
Flaze sported a worried and sad look to Erza as the little salamander looks down
Flaze then looks up as he saw someone coming towards them
"waark"
Flaze growled a bit as Erza looks to him and then towards where he was looking at
Her eyes widen as she saw Natsu coming towards them
"yo! Been well?" Natsu said to her with a grin
"you!?" Erza exclaimed in surprise as she stands up
"looks like you and your friends got home safe" Natsu said with a smile as Erza walks towards him
"who are you? How do you know me?" Erza asked to Natsu as she tried to touch him but was surprised as her hand went through him
"I know you got a ton of question for me, Erza. But sorry I can only answer a few in my state" Natsu said with a sad look on her
"are you!?" Erza said as she backed off Natsu a bit
"I ain't a ghost" Natsu said with a sweat drop to her
"now then" Natsu said as he sat down on the grass
"I think I can answer 4 maybe 5 questions at best" he looks to Erza who also sat down with him
"start by your name" Erza demanded to Natsu
"my name is Etherious Natsu Dragneel" Natsu answered her
"how do you know me and my name?" she asked again
"I know your name because you are my daughter and I've always been looking after you ever since at the tower" Natsu answered Erza with a smile as her eyes widen in surprise
"and that was 3 questions, Erza" Natsu said while making pulling out three fingers from his hand
"what happen to you after you face off against that black dragon?" Erza asked him
"I was sent into a hospitalization zone back where I live as the one in front of you is just a thought projection" Natsu said to her
"am I ever going to see you again?" Erza asked her with pleading eyes as Natsu sighed with a smile
"you will" Natsu said as he started going transparent all of the sudden
"in the future" Natsu then disappears as he leaves Erza and Flaze there
Erza looks to where Natsu was sitting at and then to her lap
"in the future…" Erza muttered out before hearing Flaze growling to her
She smiled as she carried the little lizard up to her shoulders as she stands up and walks back to the guild
