"RELIUS! DIE!" Nine wailed as she leaped towards Relius with a razor sharp claw.
Relius avoided the attack by jumping out of the way and Nine's claw left a huge claw mark in the ground.
"13 MK2, destroy her!" Relius ordered.
"Roger." Nu replied.
She zoomed towards Nine, only to end up getting a high heel to the gut and get sent flying into the Fairy Tail Hall, crashing into the bar. Nine lowered her leg and stared at Relius.
"Impressive strike." Relius commented.
Nine turned into a silhouette of pink flames and vanished. She then reappeared right in front of Relius' face shoved her knee hard into his gut.
"You motherfucker!" Nine cursed.
She then slammed her elbow into the back of his skull and he fell head first into the floor. Nine then slammed her high heel onto Relius' head, picked him up and threw him at Ignis.
"Heads up, Natsu!" She warned.
Natsu managed to slip out of Ignis's hold before Relius slammed into Ignis and they both went flying into a pile of rubble made by Natsu's last attack.
"Piece of shit!" Nine yelled.
"Konoe... How did you..?" Natsu stuttered.
Nine snapped out of her berserker mode and came to her senses..
"Hey, I remember everything now!" She stated.
"You just noticed that NOW?!" Natsu shouted, dumbfounded by the fact that Nine just now realized that her memories had come back.
"Not important. Are you ok?" Nine asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah, exhausted from my last attack, but I've been worse." Natsu answered.
Salamander then remember that his friends were lying on the ground, hurt badly.
"Guys!" He exclaimed.
Gray had a sword through the middle of his chest and was barely breathing, Erza was cut up bad, and Happy had several broken bones.
"Shit! What do I do?! I gotta save them!" Natsu panicked.
"Easy there, Natsu. They'll be ok." Nine assured, placing a hand on Natsu's shoulder.
"How?!" Natsu snapped.
"Because I can help them." Nine answered.
She walked up to the injured Wizards and looked at all of them. A pink circle then appeared under her feet and started to glow.
"What are you doing?" Natsu questioned.
"I don't know that much about Healing Magic, so instead, I'm going to do this!"
Nine shot four small balls of pink flame from her hand and they each zoomed towards one of the Wizards, Natsu included. They hit their chests and were infused into their bodies. Natsu then felt something burning inside of his body. He looked at his hand and saw that it was emitting flames more ferociously than normal.
"Whoa, what's goin' on? I feel way stronger now!" He said in amazement.
The sword in Gray's chest suddenly disintegrated, not only that, Erza and Happy's wounds started to quickly heal. They then all got up, gasping for air.
"What the hell?!" Gray gasped.
"My wounds, their gone!" Erza stated.
"Yahoo! Look at me!" Happy joyfully said, jumping up and down.
"Konoe, what did you do to us?" Natsu asked.
"I shared some of my power with you." Nine answered with a smirk.
"Konoe? That's you?!" Gray questioned.
"Yes, Gray. My memories are back." Nine said to Gray.
She took off her hat to show the others that it was her.
"Although, I prefer if you would call me Nine." She said.
Gray and Erza looked in disbelief at the pink haired woman. This is Konoe? The naked chick from the street.
"Yeah, you guys! She's a Wizard, and damn strong one too!" Natsu chuckled as he wrapped her arm around her shoulders.
"Take it off or I'll break it off." Nine threatened Natsu.
He then took his arm off of her.
"Also, I'm not a Wizard." Nine corrected.
"You're not?" Happy questioned.
"Yeah... I'm actually a Witch."
"HUH?!" They all gasped.
"What's a Witch?" Natsu asked Happy
"It's a female Wizard who practices in black magic." The Exceed explained.
"You're a Witch?!" Gray asked, backing away a bit.
"Yes. I take it from your faces, that you Wizards aren't very fond of Witches." Nine assumed.
Erza summoned a sword and pointed to at Nine.
"Indeed. Witches are considered enemies of the kingdom and Wizards are ordered to destroy them on sight." Titania replied.
Suddenly, Nu reappeared from the rubble of the guildhall, blades pointing at the Mages, but Erza stopped Nu dead in her tracks by summoning a giant hammer and swinging it at her with incredible force, mere inches away from her and her friends.
"However..."
Erza the launched Nu into the sky and replaced her hammer with dual crossbows with pipe bomb bolts. She fired them at the flying Nu and they exploded on contact.
"I can tell from when I first layer eyes on you, and due to the fact that you just risked your life to save us, that you mean good intentions. So, I believe that we could let the fact that your a Witch slide." Erza finished.
Nu was falling out of the sky and heading for ground, but while she was still falling, Nine's hand became covered with pink fire, and she pointed it at the falling killer.
"FLAME PUNISHER!"
Nine fired a huge blast of flame at Nu in the sky and exploded on contact, filling the sky with yet more smoke.
"Thanks." Nine thanked.
"Phantom has good intentions? That is quite humerus."
The gang turned around to see both Relius and Ignis, completely unharmed. Nu then appeared out of nowhere beside Relius, somehow unscratched from Erza and Nine's attacks.
"Seriously?! Nothing's working on these guys!" Natsu cringed.
"You believe that Phantom has good intentions? It's her fault that your world is ending." Relius said with a grin on his face.
"What are you babbling about, old man?" Gray questioned.
"Do you see Requiem, floating in the distorted sky?" Relius pointed at the monster in the sky.
They all looked at Requiem.
"It's all thanks to that woman there that your world is coming to an end." Clover explained.
They gang's eyes widened and they all stared at Nine.
"Hey, Lady. What's he talking about?" Gray demanded an answer.
Nine grunted and walked forward towards Relius.
"You're quite a shit stain, ain't ya, Clover." Nine cursed Relius.
"Now, Phantom. They asked you a question." Relius said.
She huffed and pinched her head in annoyance.
"Yes. Yes. I'm the one to blame here..." Nine confessed.
Everyone was shocked.
"Is what you would want me to say?" She continued.
Nine then pointed at the sky.
"Nox Nyctores: Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem. That is the name of the creature in the sky, and it is my creation." She admitted.
"Say what?!" Natsu exclaimed.
"I created it for the soul purpose of replacing the god of our world, it can manipulate time and space through its Phenomena Intervention." Nine explained.
"Replace a god?!" Gray questioned.
"However, I can sense that something is amiss here. I can feel that there is something different about my creation." Nine said.
"Well now, you're right on target, Phantom." Relius said.
"Relius, what is going on? I can easily tell that you did something to my creation. Answer me, what did you do?" Nine demanded.
"I simply took your invention and made it better." Relius answered.
"What do you mean?" Nine asked again.
Suddenly, Requiem's eyes opened and the breathing mask over its mouth flew off, exposing is horrific, deformed mouth. The creature then made a demented and demonic noise while it's eyes were rolling into the back of its head.
"I give you... Requiem Revolution!" Relius proudly presented.
"Requiem... Revolution..?" Nine questioned.
"Yes. By infusing Requiem with an immense amount of power, I was able to increase its abilities far beyond mere Phenomena Intervention!" Relius explained.
Requiem's arms then started thrashing about as if it was having a seizure and it's screams became much more demonic and bloody.
"With this new version of the eleventh Nox Nyctores, I am able to travel across time space AND completely eradicate entire universes at will!" The mad man finished.
"Eradicate universes?! Why would you want to do something so horrible?!" Erza questioned.
Instead of answering, Relius lifted his cape and a giant robot arm sprung out, clenching a fist.
"The time for talking is over!" He said.
The gang prepared for battle again.
"It would seem that I simply can't wait for Requiem Revolution to erase you. Instead, I think I'll just kill you all right now." Relius said menacingly.
Natsu, Nine, Gray and Erza readied their magic.
"Ignis, 13 MK. 2, prepare to eradicate these pesky Ma-"
"IRON DRAGON'S CLUB!"
A metal beam appeared out of nowhere and swung down hard on Relius' noggin, sending him face first into the ground. After that, a foot came crashing down on Clover's head.
"Sorry, gramps. It just seemed like you were the kind to talk all day." A ruff voice chuckled.
"Nice one, Gajeel!" Natsu complimented.
Gajeel smiled and gave Natsu a thumbs up in response. Gajeel was tall with long black hair and clothes, several piercings on his face, a yellow bandana around his head and, judging from the stain on the crotch of his pants, he might have ether spilled a little water on himself, he "sprung a leak", or he might have been masturbating but something important came up and he didn't have time to clean up so he just pulled up his pants and cane rushing over. XD
"Got here just in time." A deep voice said.
It came from a small black cat with green pants, a little red sword and was flying, just like Happy could.
"Thanks for finding me and telling me what was going on, Lily." Gajeel thanked.
Lily nodded.
"Ignis... Kill him..!" Relius managed to say.
Ignis thrusted her claw towards Gajeel, but the punk dodged and sunk his teeth into the razor sharp fingers of Ignis' hand. He ripped them off and started to eat them.
"Gotta have somethin' that tastes better than this, Gramps." Gajeel chuckled.
"13 MK. 2!" Relius ordered.
Nu launches her petal blades to try and stab Gajeel, but he transformed his skin into solid metal and the blades bounced right off of him. Gajeel managed to grab one of the blades and took a big bite out of it.
"Now that's more like it!" He said with his mouth full.
Gajeel transformed his arm into a large sword with jagged edges and swung it at Nu.
"IRON DRAGON'S SWORD!"
Nu dodges the massive blade limbo style and fired a blade at the punk, but was blocked by a huge red sword held by a now human sized Pantherlily. He swung his massive blade at the now petal bladeless Nu in an attempt to cut her in two, but she managed to block with the blades on her arms. Lily sent her flying into a building, which then collapsed on top of her.
With Gajeel, he was locked in combat with Ignis. She turned her fingerless arm into a large buzz saw and hit Gajeel in the neck with it, only for it to break on contact. Gajeel snickered and delivered a hard punch to Ignis' face.
"Incredible. In all my life, I've never seen magic like this before." Nine said in awe.
"It's called Dragon Slayer Magic." Erza said.
Nine turned to Titania.
"Dragon Slayer Magic?" She asked.
"It's an ancient and powerful type of magic that was created for the soul purpose of killing Dragons." Erza explained.
Nine's eyes widened from what she heard.
"Gajeel is an Iron Dragon Slayer. He's able to transform his body into metal and even devour other metals in order to increase his strength." She continued the explanation.
"And Gajeel's not the only one. I'm a Fire Dragon Slayer. I can attack with and consume fire." Natsu added on.
"I'm a Slayer too, but instead of Dragons, my magic is more used for dealing with Demons. I'm what's called an Demon Slayer and my element is ice." Gray also said.
"I see. What about you, Erza?" Nine asked.
"My mother was a Dragon Slayer, but it never really passed onto me. I use Requip Magic. I'm able to store weapons and armor with different abilities in an alternate space and summon them at will. I've got something for any kind of situation." Erza answered.
"What kind of Magic do you use, Konoe?" Happy asked.
"Teleportation, Summoning ,as well as three different types of Element Magic. They're fire, ice and earth." Nine answered.
"Do you use more than just one kind of magic, huh? Witches have always been pretty unpredictable, I guess." Gray said.
"You can teleport?! That's awesome!" Natsu said in amazement.
"HEY, GOLDEN ASSES! It's cool that you're telling your new pal how our magic works, but can you do that AND help me deal with the crazy robo-bitches?!" Gajeel shouted, trying to hold off Nu and Ignis by himself.
Relius got back onto his feet, lifted his mask to stop If from falling off and tore off his damaged cape in anger. It would seem like he's getting serious now.
"Ignis, use Vol Tedo!" He ordered.
Ignis complied and and summoned three large metal rings around Gajeel.
"Oh boy, this don't look good." He gulped.
However, before Ignis could complete the attack, Nine used her Teleportation Magic to warp Gajeel away in the nick of time, and Nu was caught up in the attack. The three rings formed a sphere and the inside exploded with a loud BOOM. Gajeel then reappeared next to Nine.
"You ok, Metal Head?" She asked.
"Yeah. Thanks. Wait, who the hell are you?" Gajeel asked back
"Gajeel, this is Konoe, or Nine. She's a Witch I found naked on the street today." Natsu introduced to the punk.
"Uh... Naked?" Gajeel questioned.
"It's a long stroy." Erza said.
"Moving on, Name's Gajeel, sweetheart. Big cat's Pantherlily." Gajeel introduced.
"Hello." Lily greeted.
The sphere then disappeared and all that was left of Nu was a burnt up corpse, on its knees with eyes and mouth open.
"So much for 13 MK. 2..." Relius sighed.
"That's one down!" Happy cheered.
"Now all that's left is the Old Fart." Gray pointed out.
"Yes. If we defeat him, then perhaps that will stop Requiem Revolution as well." Erza said.
Relius walked forward and stopped beside Ignis.
"Fools. What makes you think that defeating me will stop Requiem Revolution from destroying everything?" Relius chuckled.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Natsu asked.
"That Nox Nyctores can operate completely independently from its master. Even if you kill me, Requiem Revolution will not stop." Relius explained.
Erza readied her sword.
"Then if that's the case, all we need to do is capture you alive." She said.
"You can try!" Relius taunted.
The Wizards all charged at Relius.
"Come on, guys! Let's blast this old man with everything we got!" Gray shouted.
Yeah! Let's go!" Happy said, flying next to Natsu.
Only there was something different about the Exceed now.
"Whoa my god! Why do you have twice as many wings now?!" Natsu asked surprised.
Happy looked at his wings and noticed he now had a total of FOUR!
"Whoa! What's going on?!" He freaked out.
"That's a result of my magic. All of your abilities have enhanced far beyond you old limitations now!" Nine explained.
"No way! You're serious?!" Natsu questioned.
"There's only one way to find out!" Gray said, charging straight in.
"Ignis, attack!" Relius ordered.
Ignis charged at Gray with her razor-sharp claws ready to tear him apart. Gray slammed his hands together and a magic circle formed underneath him. Then, in his left hand, cold mist started to emit from his palm, and in his right, freezing demonic energy.
"ZEROTH LONG SWORD + COLD EXCALIBUR!"
Two gigantic blade appeared in both of his hands at once. One of blue ice, the other of pink.
"Slice that Ice Mage apart with Duo Bios!" Relius ordered.
Ignis then started to unleash a swarm of fast and powerful strikes, but Gray was thankfully able to block them with his giant swords, and no matter how many times Ignis slashed, the swords of ice did not even seem scratched. She then unleashed an uppercut to try and knock the swords out of Gray's hands, but he dodged that in the nick of time by stepping back. Fullbuster was now able to strike due to the opening from the failed uppercut.
He slashed through Ignis with his large blade, leaving a cross shaped slash of ice on her chest.
"MASSIVE ICE BRINGERS!"
Ignis fell to her knees and cloud now barely keep herself up. It would seem that even robots have limits after all.
"Stand!" Relius ordered.
But to no avail, Ignis was starting to fall apart and he knew it.
"Whoa! Gray, that was nuts! When did you learn how to cast your Maker Magic and Demon Slayer Magic at the same time?!" Natsu asked in amazement.
"I don't know. Like Konoe said, our powers have been increased big time." Gray answered.
"What?! Hey, lady! How come you buffed them up and not me and Lily?!" Gajeel asked rudely.
"Cuz they were gonna die if I didn't." Nine answered.
"Yeah well, it doesn't seem fair that they get a boost and we don't!" Gajeel wined.
"Calm down, Gajeel. This woman just said that if she hadn't shared her power with Natsu and the others, they wouldn't be here anymore. We should be thanking her instead of wining in jealo-"
"I KNOW WHAT SHE DID, LILY! I'm grateful for that, I admit it, but the fact that there is now a HUGE power gap between me and Salamander now pisses me of so much I could piss my pants! SO NOW I HAVE TO TRAIN LIKE CRAZY AGAIN FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG, GET STRUCK BY LIGHTNING FROM THE SKY OR A PISSED OF LAXUS, AND MAKE A NEW TRAINING SCHEDULE WHICH TAKES FUCKIN' FOREVER TO DO, AND-"*gasp* *choke*
Gajeel was stopped by a shot of saliva fired from Nine's oral entrance and into his. Lily dropped jawed from witnessing this and then started to giggle a little.
"That should shut you up." Nine said annoyed.
"You shot your spit in my mouth..!" A high pitched Gajeel shrieked in disgust.
"I also shared some of my magic with you, just like Natsu. You got what you wanted. You're welcome. Now shut up or I'll spit in your ear next." She threatened.
"I'm gonna get you for that!" Gajeel chocked out.
"Save that for another time. Right now, go take Ignis down. I'll power up your cat while you're at it." Nine said.
"Please just don't spit on or in me when you do." Lily begged.
"Fine!" Gajeel grumped as he charged towards Ignis.
"What are you doing, Ignis?! Get up and shred them to mince meat!" Relius ordered impatiently.
Ignis finally managed to get back up, but too little too late as Gajeel was just about to attack.
"Eat this, you bitch! IRON DRAGON'S HARD FIST!"
Gajeel coated his fist in metal and slammed Ignis' head into the earth. Then, spikes emerged from the knuckle of the fist and then the whole hand started spinning like a drill.
'The hell? My Hard Fist spell never did this before.' He thought.
Ignis' face was being torn apart by the metal spikes and rotation and she soon ceased any more movement at all. Gajeel lifted up his fist and saw Ignis' face torn up with both oil and blood spilled into the broken ground.
"That was messy." Gajeel said, shaking the fluids off of his hand.
Relius was in total disbelief. Ignis, his greatest creation, second only to Requiem Revolution, destroyer just like that.
"You... defeated Ignis..?" He stuttered.
Clover closed his fist in anger and veins popped out all around his mask.
"That's... THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" He lost control.
"Believe it, gramps. That's what you get for killing Levy, and everyone else!" Gajeel spat at the scientist.
"You... WORTHLESS OBJECTS!" Relius howled.
He charged at Gajeel with blade emerging from inside his cape, ready to kill, but Erza appeared in front of the Iron Dragon and charged towards Relius.
"My turn! REQUIP: HEAVEN'S WHEEL!"
She flowed and soon dawned her go-to armor, only now it was completely different. Instead of silver with wing ornaments, the armor was now a glorious gold with REAL angel wings.
'My armor! I've never seen anything like this before!' Erza thought.
"DIE!" Relius screamed in rage.
Erza summoned twin swords, but instead of normal steel broadswords, they were now massive two-handed titanium claymores with a streak of gold running from the base of the blade to the tip. Erza struck Relius with her massive blades, slashing him in a pentagram pattern.
"PENTAGRAM SWORD!"
Blood flew from the slash wounds and hit the ground, painting it crimson. Relius then fell onto one knee, struggling to stand.
"No! This can't be! I'm so close! So close to my goal! So close to becoming God! The TRUE God" He rambled.
"Konoe, let finish this!" Natsu said.
"Don't need to tell me twice! I've been waiting FOREVER to murder this fucker!" Nine said in a sadistic tone.
They both charged at Relius with intent to kill. Relius tried readying a Distortion Drive to defend himself.
"REQ VI-"
"DRAGON SLAYER SECRET ART!"
"Say goodbye, you fucking cocksucker!"
The two both erupted in flames and prepaired their final attacks.
'No! This can't be! No!'
"AZURITE INFERNO!"
"FLAME LOTUS: EXPLODING FLAME BLADES!"
Relius was now completely consumed by a swarm of flaming azurite shards and a hive typhoon of swirling fire hot enough to melt Neptune. He screamed in both agony and defeat as his body was being roasted alive.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Once the fire subsided, Relius was now completely blackened by the intense flames and shredded from the azurite shards. Blood covered his charred body and he then started to crack and break a little.
"This... can't be... I was so close... to my goal... Bested by Kokonoe's... bloodline... again..." Relius chocked out.
"It's over." Natsu said, extinguishing the flames covering his body.
"Maybe... but I won't go alone..." Relius said, coughing up blood.
He started to smirk and chuckle.
"I will finally destroy this cursed world... and that pink cat witch as well..." He softly laughed.
"What are you talking about?" Nine asked.
"Phantom... this is our world... over 1400 years... in the past..." Relius answered.
Nine gasped. She was in the past?!
"W-what?!" She asked surprised.
"Hold on, the Old Man is saying that Konoe's from the future?!" Gray questioned.
"That's impossible!" Erza said, not believing a word.
"Yes... she and I... are from... the year... 2200... Phantom failed... in her mission to... destroy the god of our world... so she was... sentenced to death by... Izanami's hands..." Relius explained.
Gray looked at Nine with a shocked expression.
"You really DID try to kill your world's god?!" He questioned the Witch.
"Yes, and I would have succeede if not for someone I knew too well..." Nine confessed.
She turned to face the Fairies.
"Thanks to him, I remembered that without that god, I would loose not only my whole world, but also the most important and precious things I had." Nine spoke.
She pulled out a picture of her with three figures.
"My husband, child and sister."
She then put the picture back in her pocket.
"I fell unconscious while trying to protect them in the end, but when I came to I was here. I don't know why..."
"Requiem... saved you..." Relius spoke.
Nine looked at the burnt Relius with a puzzled look.
"You, the creator of the Nox Nyctores... should know that... the weapons are living things... that will do anything to protect their masters... Requiem... using a massive temporal distortion... sent you back in time to an age when Magic was still young... to save you..." The Puppet Master explained.
"It... it did that for me?" Nine couldn't believe it.
"As I said... they will protect their masters... like a parent would... a child..." Relius repeated.
He then started to laugh a little.
"But it is mine now... and even if I die... at least I'll... finally be rid... of Kokonoe's bloodline... Destroying her legacy... at the root of it all... that... Dragon Spawn"
Relius pointed at Natsu.
"Me? How is destroying me gonna effect this Kokonoe chick?" Natsu question.
"This... is where... the world of the Azure... meets its rightful end... with a whimper..." Relius struggles to speak.
He soon started to disappear into dust, marking the end of his putrid existence.
"Wait! You didn't answer me! What does this Kokonoe chick have to do with me?! Why wipe out my timeline instead of taking her on directly! Tell me!" Natsu demanded.
Instead of an answer, Relius laughed an insane laugh as he started to crumble into dust.
"May you burn in the darkest pits of hell, Konoe A. Mercury... descendant of... Etherious... Natsu... Dragneel..."
Nine and Natsu gasped from hearing the last words of the Puppet Master as he faded into oblivion.
Nine and Natsu then turned their heads to each other's. Their faces full of surprise, disbelief, amazement and confusion. The two did not say word as stared into each other's eyes, even souls.
Then, out of nowhere,Requiem Revolution'a screams became even more horrendous and violent. It started to glow gold and emoted immense waves of energy. The Wizards got knocked off their fear from the waves, while Happy got sent flying into a brick wall.
"Ouch." Happy groaned.
"Ms. Konoe, what's happening?" Lily asked.
"Got me! I only ever used that thing once, and considering that Relius made changes to Requiem without my knowing, I'm not even sure what it's capable of anymore!" Nine replied.
"I think I know!" Erza said.
Everyone turned to Titania.
"Perhaps it's getting ready to eradicate our world!" She assumed.
"Well if that's the case, then we need to take it out!" Natsu said, pointing at Requiem Revolution.
"Yeah, I think he's right!" Gray supported Natsu's call.
Gajeel hardened his Iron Dragon Scales and Lily extended his sword.
"Well, I don't know what the hell's goin' on, but if that thing's gonna kill us all, then let's go!"
The Wizards of Fairy Tail all charged towards Requiem Revolution, determined to save their world.
"Wait, you idiots! Stop!" Nine called out.
They all jumped into the air and unleashed their Magic
"FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!'"
"SUPPER FREEZING ARROW + ZEROTH DESTRUCTION BOW!"
"SCATTER PETALS!"
"IRON DRAGON'S ROOOOOAR!"
Natsu's giant fire ball, Gray's arrow of ice, Erza's countless blades and Gajeel blast of metal shavings all combined into one giant attack in hopes of taking down Requiem Revolution. The attack fusion hit the Nox Nyctores square in the face and covered the whole thing in a huge explosion. The Wizards landed on the ground, spent from the amount of power they put into their attacks.
"Did that... do it..?" Natsu asked.
The smoke quickly cleared and showed that the Nox was completely unharmed.
"What?!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Normal attacks won't work on Requiem, idiots!" Nine told the Fairies.
"Well what will work?!" Gray asked impatiently.
"Even if we try to find it, we won't be able to use it in time. It's too late" Nine said in hopelessness.
The earth started to shake violently and the sky turned blood red. Buildings started to collapse and the oceans were set a blaze. This truly was the end of everything. Many people ran through the streets in fear for their live but alas, there was no escape from the destruction and chaos that speed through the world like a wildfire.
Natsu clenched his fist in anger.
"No! It's NOT too late!" He growled.
Nine looked at Natsu with surprise on her face. She would have expected the Wizard to fall to his knees in despair, but this was the complete opposite.
"I'm not just gonna sit back and watch the world end in a whimper! I've fought WAY worse monsters than this and I've managed to pull through every time! This thing is nothing!" Natsu spoke bravely.
Never giving up, never backing down, fighting to the end. This boy... he reminded Nine so much of... HIM.
Natsu pointed his finger at Requiem Revolution.
"Hey ugly! You picked the wrong world to mess with!" He shouted.
Natsu then pointed his thumb at the area of his chest where his heart is.
"My name is Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer, Son of Igneel and Brother of the Black Wizard! If you want to destroy our world, then you gotta go through me!" He yelled fearlessly.
Flames then consumed Natsu's whole body and his guild emblem started to glow a fiery red.
"Get ready, Cuz I'm gonna take you on with everything I've got and then some!"
He exploded in a burst of flames and a started to glow red with magical energy. Then, out of nowhere, a red dragon tattoo appeared on his right arm below his emblem.
"FIRE DRAGON KING MODE!"
The Wizard then charged at Requiem Revolution with blinding speed. Nine tried to reach out to try and stop him, but he was so fast that she couldn't reach him in time.
"Natsu!" She cried out.
Natsu was now face to face with the Nox Nyctores, ready to smash its face in. His right arm became cloaked in hellish flames as he pulled his arm back, reading a punch.
"FIRE DRAGON KING'S DEMOLITION FIST!"
He fired a light-speed fire punch at Requiem, causing a massive explosion of fire that could probably reduce a mountain to ashes. However, Natsu wasn't done. He then inhaled a massive amount of air.
"FIRE DRAGON KING'S..."
"Crap! Everyone, take cover! This is honna be big!" Gray shouted to everyone.
They all took shelter behind rubble, not wanting to get caught in this attack.
"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR!"
Natsu unleashed a blast of fire so powerful, it not only consumed Requiem, but the town behind it as well! Hundreds of building were consumed and obliterated by the massive fire blast and the roads were melting away like butter in a microwave.
Nine could not believe what she was seeing.
'This is... unbelievable! Even I can't do that, and I'm the strongest magic user in my time!' She though.
Natsu panted in exhaustion. Those were his best attacks so they took a lot out of him. However, Requiem's eyes shined red and fired a powerful eye beam at Natsu, sending him hurdling into the ground. He recovered quickly and erupted in fire.
"Is that all you got?! I'm just getting started here!" Natsu taunted.
He charged towards Requiem Revolution again, with fists ablaze! He wasn't going to give up just yet!
"If I'm going down, I'm going out with a bang! Come on, you overgrown hunk of scrap metal! LET'S GO!"
Natsu jumped up one more time ready to deliver another Demolition Fist, until everything, out of nowhere... turned white.
Natsu swing his fist, only to hit air and he fell to the white ground below.
"The hell?!" He exclaimed.
"What the fuck?! Where are we?" Gajeel wondered.
"Ms. Konoe, did you do this?" Lily asked.
"No. I honestly have no idea what happened." Nine answered.
"That was a close one." A sadistic voice said.
The Wizards turned to their sixes and saw something very disturbing.
Next time
Natsu, Nine and the remaining Fairytail Wizards go to Sector 7 to seek answers about Relius Clover and possibly, help defeat him. Along the way, Natsu learns something crazy!
