Chapter 10
Team Natsu were surprised, Solid Snake was able to defeat Hades, they couldn't beat him, but Snake did, Snake was on his knee, the magic he used consumed too much energy, it take some minutes later for the effects of his magic.
Team Natsu recovered some energy to stand up, the cloud were dissipating revealing the clear sky with the sun, suddenly Happy and Carla were running to their direction crying, "Everyone, help!" they were being chased by a group of angry grunts.
"This isn't good" Said Gray "Curse, we don't have any magic power left" Said Erza worried , "Sorry, but im also out of magic" Panther Lily said.
Snake stood up with a tired face "Damn, ill have to use my magic again" A foot step was heard from behind Natsu, "That's far enough" It was Makarov with Fried, Evergreen, Bickslow, Cana, Lisanna, Mirajane, Elfman, Levy and Gajeel.
"Gramps!" smirked Natsu when he saw Makarov, the team are happy seeing all of them well and recovered, suddenly their Fairy Tail mark started to shone brightly, Snake started to feel that his magic was coming back,
"Theres more of them!" Said one grunt, "Isnt that Makarov?" Said a female one, "And look over there!" spoke another one while pointing to that direction "Master Hades" said one "Hes been defeated" exclaimed another one.
"Get off this island this instant!" Said Makarov to all the Grimoire Hearts grunts, with that all the grunts complied and ran away, everyone rejoiced over their victory and celebrated, Snake was standing over a corner when Natsu approached him, "This isn't over yet, Snake" with a angry face, he didn't forget that Snake "Betrayed" the guild, "Wait Natsu!" Shouted Makarov while approaching "But master, Snake sold us out!" Spoke Natsu, "There's an explanation about it"
Makarov told everyone about what happened and what Snake planned, they all understood it specially Wendy, she approached to Snake with a sad face, "Sorry Snake, I didn't know that you.. "Wendy stopped when Snake patted softly her head and said "It's ok, I don't blame you about it".
Wendy blushed a little about it, everyone started to go back to their camp, Makarov was behind them then he hear someone call him, "Makarov" it was Hades "Finish me off , learned something very important from you, in return, I will overlook what you did this time" Makarov then demanded "Leave this island" then Hades spoke "Such weakness, if you let me live I will surely crush your guild" "I lost to you, but my children beat you" Admitted Makarov, "Not true, if it wasn't because of that man, I would not have lost to your brats" Said Hades, "Why did you fall darkness?" Asked Makarov, "I told you once, the true nature of magic is darkness. Miracles that are born in the darkness have come to be called "magic". After I retired, I wished to find the truth of this world by walking deep down the path of magic. This world, overflowing with too much magic, is a false world. The World of Great Magic is the true magic world! I wanted to see that world and for that goal, I obtained the keys I needed to resurrect Zeref and the alliance I made with a man named Liquid Snake" Makarov raised one eyebrow after he heard the same name from Snake, "Liquid Snake?" asked Makarov, then Hades spoke "Yes, that man and I have almost the same goal, but he was defeated by that man, I was so close to reaching the One Magic!" Makarov then said "Even if you find it, nothing will change" Hades opened one eye in surprise "If magic's true nature is darkness, then so be it, and if its light, that's fine too." Then in his right hand glowed his own magic" Magic is alive! Its role change with the times" then hi clenched his fist "It grows, along with us. Every person has their own version of what "magic" is… Each person thinks of it differently, it can become light or darkness, or red, or even blue, Fairy Tail lives together with freedom! Makarov then walked off and said a final word to his former master. "I learned that all from you." Hades was speechless and closed his eyes.
Everyone were back at their camp, they were resting after a hard battle, Natsu was being very noisy, he wanted to continue with the exam. Makarov already announced that the exam was cancelled, but Natsu insisted.
"Alright Natsu, Beat Snake and you will become a S Class Wizard!" Claimed Makarov, "What are you doing Master?" Asked Snake "To finish this quickly so that we can leave" Said Makarov "Alright" said Snake while he put himself in CQC stance, Natsu flew at him with his fist clenched, Snake dodged and made a Shoryuken at Natsu's back, Natsu fell to the ground beaten.
"The winner is Snake!" Announced Makarov while the Snakes victory song from SSBB plays, Snake walked to the forest , he was thinking about those spell books he saw on the ship, he remember every part the book, the problem is that there is no user of portal magic in this world, the Anima is the only portal that existed, but its sealed, so he is more trapped in this world.
Snake was still thinking on what to do next, but then he heard a monstrous roar, the members also heard the roar, in the sky a flying shadow thing was coming, it have massive wings, its black with blue marks over his body, it was Acnologia, the Dragon of the apocalypse.
Snake was terrified, he never seen a dragon "Sweet Jesus!" Snake never felt such fear, Acnologia was coming to the island, Snake saw Natsu, Lucy ,Cana and Gildarts running to the camp with the rest and they were shocked seeing Acnologia, Snake ran to the camp to reunite with them, when he came, Acnologia already landed and facing with the rest, Acnologia roared blowing everything that was in his way, the trees, the ground and the camp, all blown, Snake flew backward from the roar and hit against a tree, it took some seconds to recover, Snake stood up and saw that Acnologia was flying seeing his "artwork".
Meanwhile with Natsu and the rest
Everyone were even more shocked seeing how destructive was acnologia, Gildarts told everyone to get out of the island, but Erza asked one important question "Wait a moment, where is Snake?" "He went walking in the forest" Gray responded "Damn" cursed Gildarts, they all needed to leave now, but Snake was somewhere in the forest, everyone ran to the forest escaping from Acnologia and to find Snake, Acnologia flew where Fried and Bickslow was and blocked the road, Acnologia swept its tail hitting Evergreen and Elfman, Natsu got hit and was going to get stomped, suddenly Snake appeared just in time to save Natsu, Snake was holding on his arm Natsu, "Snake, where were you?"Said Natsu a little angry.
"Sorry for coming late" Snake let go of Natsu and faced at Acnologia.
"Snake what are you doing? You can't win!" Shouted Makarov, Snake turned his head and said "Master, get everyone out of this island, I'm going to stay here and try to delay this dragon!" Snake then released his magic.
"No!, Im not letting someone stay here " Yelled Makarov, "Im not gonna let a dragon kill my family! Don't worry about me, Leave this place NOW!" Shouted Snake, Makarov didn't want to leave someone behind, but didn't have choice and left, "Snake, be safe "Said Erza sadly and left and so everyone did.
Now Snake is alone, Acnologia came and lift its arm to crush Snake, Snake ran behind him and gave multiple punches, but nothing happened, Snake landed in the ground and took out his stinger missiles now upgraded with his magic, Snake shot multiples missiles at Acnologia while running and hid behind a tree, the missiles covered Acnologia in the smokes of the missile, when the smokes dispelled, Acnologia didn't have any scratch's.
"This can't be true" Snake started to transmit almost half of his energy on his assault rifle, Snake got out and ran directly to Acnologia, Acnologia lift his arms and started to crush Snake but not able to hit him, Snake jumped from its knees and jumped from the legs to its shoulder, Acnologia was moving desperately to make Snake fall, Snake jumped and pointed his assault rifle at Acnologia´s face and shoot, huge beam came out and hit its face, Snake thought that he did it, but then an arm came out of the smokes and swung with all its force and hit Snake very hard. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Snake while flying away to the forest, Snake fell and got hit by several trees with his head that knocked him out.
Everyone were running, but Makarov stopped and was going to back to help Snake, but then he heard Snakes scream, everyone stopped running when they heard his scream. "N-no, Snake-san" Said Wendy while her eyes started to form tears, they all saw snake flying away to the forests, Makarov threw his shirt and then faced Acnologia and said "Go, Ill take care of him.
Everyone gasped," Gramps" Said Natsu, "Run to the ship!" said Makarov while growing at gigantic size, and then he hold Acnologia, everyone were still standing,
"Are you going to ignore your master's orders even to the end? You damn brats!" Yelled Makarov, they didn't want to leave anyone behind anymore, Snake faced Acnologia and failed, now Makarov is going to do the same thing, but they understood the situation then Laxus spoke "Hurry up! Get going!" he grabbed Natsu and started to leave, the rest did the same. They all started to form tears while leaving.
Makarov was still holding Acnologia, he was doing all he can to stop Acnologia and to let the rest to escape.
Acnologia stroke Makarov while he was holding it and fell, Acnologia used his claws and spiked at Makarovs chest, before Acnologia could finish him off, Natsu came back and started to attack it by hitting it with his hands, Erza came back too "Erza? You too?" said Makarov he amazed more when everyone came back and started to attack Acnologia. Makarov started to form tear and said "Idiots".
Laxus first used Raging Bolt then followed by Erza using Heaven's Wheel Blumenblat, Gray used Ice Make Canon, and so did the rest using their strong attack, and finally Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy used their Dragon Slayer attack hitting Acnologia with all their power.
Everyone thought that they beat Acnologia, but their wrong, Acnologia came out and didn't have any scratch. Acnologia flew up high and it was its turn now, it started to use its breath attack concentrating all the attack on the island, Everyone started to lose hope, they did all they could but it was useless. Natsu refused to give up and hold Lucy´s hand saying to her that never give up that also convince the rest, and they all formed a circle holding hands, everyone else looked up with their heads held high.
"FAIRY TAIL! AND FOR… SOLID SNAKE!" Said everyone, they didn't forget about Snakes.
Acnologia fired his attack, everyone were seeing the shining attack of Acnologia. Somewhere in the forest of the island, Liquid Snake was still there, with the damaged Metal Gear Rex, he is in the ground where he fell, he opened his eyes to contemplate the attack of Acnologia, he smiled and said "Beautiful"
In the forest where Snake fell, he was now conscious, and opened his eyes, he saw Acnologia charging his attack.
"It seems to be my end now" Said Snake, he took out a cigarette and lighted it, since his going to die in the island, his going to enjoy his last moments smoking, then Acnologia fired his attack, Snake closed his eyes thinking that this is the end.
Now Heaven Wolf Island is destroyed and gone from the face of the planet. Acnologia left and disappeared and it was never seen again.
