I decided on an early update. Thanks for all the favs and follows. And if you are confused, don't worry. Plot has begun to unfold. And really, you fave and follow the story, but do not give any feedback. It's feels like I'm doing something wrong. Anyway, my sister wants me to disband this story but I won't. I need to finish this. Can anyone tell me what is the chapter number for the latest manga chapter released? I only read till 444 when Zeref appears in front of the council or something after Fairy Tail disbands. Can anyone tell me when did the celestial arc occurred or was it filler? And with this chapter the Grand Magic Arc will be done.
Naruto, Fairy Tail and Bleach has some awesome openings
Disclaimer: don't own it. Don't think ever will.
Natsu's collapsing had strengthened the resolve to try harder to win. It had frightened them to see their nakama fall. Even his team mates appeared confused at his sudden fall.
"So we continue. Who will replace Natsu?" asked a highly irritated read-head. She was more irritated that he had dogged her question, did he not trust.
"We will change according to the event. For now Juvia, then we will see" the first master said. She had analysed all that had happened and decided on the best course of action. And so Fairy Tail continued their journey.
They did not let the truth come out regarding Natsu's condition, even after getting called a coward. No they were determined to win these games for Natsu. Laxus and Gajeel even tagged and won. When everything looked calm came the big day when it happened, the incident with the royal army. The struggle to save Lucy was as such, a struggle. They were almost too late, but somehow managed to do it, and then the worst came to happen.
The eclipse gate opened and dragons came. They were almost too late to close it, but still seven dragons passed. It was truly terrific for everyone. Everyone tried their best, but they were at a disadvantage since they were seven to six, not counting the future Rouge, who was hell bend on destroying them. Only thing that could save them was a miracle.
And that was exactly what happened when a flam attack came to push the dragons back. They all looked at the person who did this but were surprised to see Natsu riding a dragon made up of flame. It left everyone dumbstruck, a dragon letting a human ride it. Somehow no one was sure or clear on the events that followed but all the dragons apparently were going back and the gate was broken. Only a conversation remained.
"Don't ever think of giving up again brat. That is not what Igneel would have wanted you to do, nor anyone else" with that the dragons were gone, and a cheer erupted from among everyone. It was a bonus seeing Natsu awake. Everyone ran to him but stopped t a distance. They all stopped. He had noticeable changes, his hairs were long, in a braid and nearly reaching his knees but still the same salmon pink and he looked like he lost some muscles, but his aura had become more intimating if anything, but the biggest difference were his eyes. Once onyx eyes had turned a stunning shade of emerald.
"N-Natsu-san?" Wendy asked and the atmosphere had become solemn. The mage in front of them had a serious look on his face, which then faded and a huge grin replaced it.
"Yo. We just saved the world, what are you standing for. Let's celebrate." He cheered and the tense atmosphere was replaced by a cheerful one. Smile evident on every face
"You look better salamander. What was it back then?" Gajeel asked and everyone stopped to listen to his answer. Natsu just grinned and then spoke in a loud voice
"Hah. I convinced the dragon to help me save this world." 'After he saved my from dying' was left unsaid as it was not the place or time for that. "Aren't I awesome? Now let's party" he said and everyone went back to the cheering.
The atmosphere for the next few weeks was cheerful and relatively the same. Even the thing with Natsu was forgotten.
"Remember we are on borrowed time. Till we find that book we can't merge. But I can use my power to stabilise you. But we need to hurry" the voice was warm into Natsu's head and he could feel the urgency in it. He remembered.
"He might have opened the book. The thing is we are dying and there is only one way to stop it. The thing is do you want to continue living? Our existence will be a painful experience, if any. Like a monster. Do you still want to?" The question stopped Natsu in his tracks.
Gajeel's words echoed in his mind. 'Do I still want to?' The wondered and then opened his mouth to answer.
"Wait. I thought only I can open that book?" Natsu said, and the other looked sheepish "Wait. Don't tell me you-"Natsu slithered.
"Well I was bored being sealed here, but it doesn't change anything. We can start the merge now and it will stabilise us a little" END said, long hairs swaying in the wind.
"Let's end both our lives. Besides I'm only a monster. My guild-mates do not need me. I'm only a nascence to them anyway" said Natsu just as a hot feeling overtook him and the flame appeared in front of him and a small dragon made of flame appeared.
"Where am I?" the dragon asked and then moved his gaze toward Natsu. "Who are you? You feel familiar" he commented and Natsu grinned
"I'm the son of Igneel" he said and the shock of the flame dragon could be felt.
"Igneel? The flame lord. He was my friend." Then his gaze fell on the Fairy Tail symbol. "You part of the guild, they will all be killed if you did not help them" he said but he sounded uncaring. His words however had a strong effect on Natsu.
"Killed. What do you mean?" Natsu asked, highly worried.
"Someone from the future came and now six dragons are causing havoc, well seven if you count me, but I like you kid so I will help you. My name is Atlas Flame. So wake up" he said and only then he registered another movement in his surroundings. He looked toward the other said and saw a long haired guy. "You" he said but disappeared. END just grinned and looked toward Natsu.
"So what will you do now?" he asked Natsu who was incredibly worried.
'Lucy, Erza, Gray, everyone hand on' he thought and made up his mind then looked at the demon. "Help me" he asked and the demon laughed.
"Knew you will see things my way" he said and the next time he wake up the flam dragon, Atlas Flame, was there.
"So you are END's vessel?" he asked. Unmasked emotions in his voice.
"Yes. Please help me save everyone" Natsu asked. Pride be damned, it was his family on line. The dragon just looked at him and for a second he was afraid that he will be shot down on the help, but then the dragon laughed.
"I'm really liking you kid. Hop on" he said and then added. "No eating me" for joking measures.
Natsu was brought out from his thoughts by Lucy Elbowing him.
"Ow. What is it Luigi?" he asked just to tease her and it worked. Her face turned red.
"It's Lucy and the Master was just telling you something. You and Gray have a mission together" she said and he was as shocked as Gray looked.
"With Flame Brain"/ "Ice princess?" they both asked respectively, then yelled together "No way" but no one paid any heed to them and that was how Natsu was stuck on a mission he did not want with his old team.
Done. Please at least tell me if this was fine or not. Without your response I can't know what I am doing wrong or right. At least tell me. And my fic is up. It's highly Natsu-centric and is titled Mistake. Please check it out.
