Chapter 11

Zeref placed his hand forward drawing symbols. "Die, you insects who do not even know the true meaning behind magic anymore." A black wave emerged quickly and only the powerful mages got away on time. The rest were all devoured by the wave.

Erza and Gray stood on the rooftop watching the destruction that zeref did. Then Erza spoke, "Gray, our master has betrayed us. We have nowhere to go. Do we fight against zeref and acnologia or do we flee? And even if we fight, what can we fight for?"

There was a silence until Natsu and Lucy appeared in front of them. "Erza, Gray. You can help us. The head of fairy tail magic academy has allowed us to stay in the academy. He says that he'll tell everyone that we're brainwashed to do all of this. If we defeat zeref, it will confirm his words. The other mages are holding them off right now. Use that time to decide."

"Even if we do decide to help you, how will we do it? Zeref and acnologia are magical legends! You can't defeat them with numbers. Each one of them can easily kill thousands of mages easily! I don't think we're going to make a difference." Lucy stepped forward.

"The power of the 12 gates, Gray. That's how we can defeat zeref. You see, one might think that the 12 gates are weird spirits that are weak. But actually, their strength depends on who their master is. If a celestial mage as strong as zeref appears, plue would be able to transform into his true form and take down a hundred mages."

"What is your point?"

"While the 12 gates are an offensive type of magic, it is also a form of sealing. When all the 12 gates are gathered, they can create an incredible seal. This seal is of course, one of the powerful special spells that celestial mages with all 12 keys and able to use stellar boost can cast. It has enough power to seal zeref and acnologia into keys. When we destroy the key, they will be gone forever."

"May we know the name of the spell? The only spells that we know of that a celestial mage could use is urano metria and eclipse. Layla only used urano metria against us and eclipse is a common knowledge spell that people believes doesn't even exist," said Erza.

"Of course. The name of this sealing spell is Aristillus. It takes about 15 minutes to cast so I will need that time. I ask if you guys and hold zeref for 15minutes. In fact, I should start the spell right now," said Lucy getting down on her knees and taking out her keys. Erza, Gray and Natsu nodded.

"Leave it to us, Luce!" exclaimed natsu. Lucy looked surprised at her new nickname but then smiled at him. She nodded letting them leave the roof. They hopped down. At this point, almost every single mage was defeated. Lucy wanted to save lives too, not just seal zeref. She trusted them and they would return the trust. Natsu turned to them all.

"Get away from here, it's too dangerous if you stay. Leave this to us now," stated Natsu. All the mages that were almost hit by the wave immediately scrambled away for safely. The stronger mages didn't budge looking at them uncertainly.

"Don't you guys need help though? And what proof do you have and you'll actually defeat zeref and acnologia? You guys could be helping them," said Gildarts. Zeref and Acnologia were getting closer, time was running out.

"Go to Lucy and protect her to give her enough time so she can cast Aristillus. While it is true that you guys would think that we would help them, we wouldn't. There would be no point since zeref would probably kill us in the end too. There is no point in helping someone like that. Please, just this once, trust us," said Natsu.

The stronger mages looked at each other and looked back at the determination in their eyes. Ur sighed. "Very well, we will go back and protect Lucy. I hope that you defeat zeref. And guys, please come back alive. If Lucy trusted you enough to tell you of her spell, we will trust you too."

"Thank you very much Ur," replied Gray. "Now, let's get going. It seems that some pests are coming our way with some very heavy equipment."

"Don't order me around Gray," muttered Natsu. "But yes, let's go."

A black wave was headed for them. Gray stepped forward. "Ice make: shield!" A white icy shield appeared blocking the black miasma allowing natsu and Erza to further advance.

"Natsu! I'll take care of Acnologia! I'll leave zeref to you and Gray!" she yelled. Natsu nodded and went for zeref. This was no time for arguments.

"You foolish insects think that you can defeat me!?" roared Acnologia in rage. "You will PAY for your stupidity!"

"Wings of death," said Zeref. The wind currents shifted and the wind became black with death power in it. It surged forward attacking natsu.

"Fire dragon's wings!" Natsu summoned 2 wings and attacked the winds in his way. "Fire dragon's iron fist!" The fist came down hitting zeref and zeref flew back. However, zeref remerged, no damage done on him at all.

"You are stupid to think that attack is powerful enough defeat me!" said Zeref sending black bullets to natsu. Luckily, ice blocked the attack.

"Ice make: hammer!" A gigantic ice hammer appeared in the sky and proceeded to hit zeref. A new living demon stopped that.

"Defeat me to get to zeref," it growled.

"Natsu, I'll take care of the demons! Go for zeref!" called Gray sending forward more ice attacks.

"Got it! Fire dragon's roar!" The roar attack went straight for zeref attacking him head on. Zeref stumble a bit and frowned.

"How could a human do this? Well, since I was brought back...wait. Maybe I didn't get my full power back?"

"Sorry zeref but some power source isn't enough for you to get back all your powers. Which means that you aren't as strong as the zeref 400 years ago! Fire dragons secret technique! Crimson lotus: exploding flame blade!"

"Ugg, this is not possible!" yelled Zeref as he was overwhelmed by the attack.

"Come on zeref, this isn't your end is it?" roared the black dragon.

"Look at me! Tenrin no yoroi: trinity sword!" Erza changed into her heaven's wheel and went for the dragons' head. Usually, this would be very dangerous but acnologia was distracted.

"No...this is not my end yet!" yelled Zeref. "Infinite devouring wave!"

The black wave headed for natsu narrowing down a bit. Natsu was able to dodge but that's when he realized that the wave wasn't meant for him, gray nor Erza.

"LUCY!" yelled Natsu heading for her. The older mages were taken by surprise as the black wave hit them and took their lives. But Lucy was safe. For now.

"Again!" said Zeref launching another one of those attacks. Once again, he was stopped by ice.

"I'm getting a feeling that you can't stop attacks flamebrain!" called Gray smirking at him. Natsu looked away and back at zeref in annoyance.

"Shut up ice pick. Fire dragon's sword horn!"

"Useless!" The black wave pushed natsu back and attacked him. Natsu expected to be dead but he noticed that his scarf was black.

"So this present saved my life...You'll pay for ruining this zeref!"

"Give up. Just let me kill Lucy and destroy the world."

"Then what will I be fighting for?"

"I don't know. You just die."

"I...I CAN'T STAND THAT TYPE OF ANWSER! SCREW REALITY!" yelled Natsu running to zeref with another attack.

"Useless! You just don't get it do you!"

"But that's not my goal," whispered Natsu. Natsu grabbed the spirit core that zeref was holding and...ate it. "Dragon force," murmured Natsu.

"H-how is this possible..." gasped zeref in shock.

"You'll pay...PAY FOR KILLING THEM ALL! Fire dragon slayer's secret technique! Crimson lotus: exploding flame blade!"

"NO! T-this is!"

"Natsu get out! Lucy's going to cast the spell! She can't see where you are! You might get sealed too!" yelled Gray and Erza.

"But..." trailed Natsu. Acnologia had already been sealed but zeref would get away from the seal if natsu didn't hold on!" "I can't..." he said.

"WHAT?" they yelled.

"Sorry...and good bye..."

"Wait natsu!"

A cold voice stopped them. "Aristillus."

A powerful light erupted and shone. When it was gone, so was zeref and natsu.

Is natsu perfectly sealed? Hehe, find out in the next chapter! Sorry for the horrible fight scenes, I don't know how to write them. By the way, please vote in my pole. There is currently a tie between 2 stories and the next chapter of this story will be the last. So I need one last person to vote before I finish this story. please review.

NOTICE: Did I mention that I'm currenlty reading a heck load of wiki articles to reserach France? Well, the next treachery chapter requires a lot of research so I can make it perfect. I'll try to make the next treachery chapter as long as possible but it'll be hard. Thank you for accepting this
