Hey Guys, hope you enjoy the new chapter! I've realised with writing on my phone, I have an even worse tendency to look over mistakes, so sorry in advance. Thanks to Nella Malfoy, who is just an amazing help!
FairyTail123: I know NoirCy ftw but LaLu is frickin awesome.
TessaJane: I see your point, there is a reason behind that. This chapter explores it ever so slightly. I'd say more but spoilers for the chapter :p
"I'm going to go for a walk." Noir said, standing and stalking away, her hands deep into her pockets.
She looked back on her life, comparing Lucy to the friend she'd lost long ago, Noir came across the remarkable resemblance, both blondes with sweet brown eyes, both bubbly and happy.
"Elaine..." Noir let out a sigh. "I found that new friend you said I always would. Damn, I even found a family but... I'm having trouble opening up to them."
She knew her friend couldn't hear her, and Noir didn't believe in the after life but somewhere deep down she hoped Elaine was looking out for her from up there.
"I'll protect her, and them with my life but Elaine, sometimes it hurts to look at her, she reminds me so much of you."
Then a feeling of doom swept over her, a feeling of inpending danger. A roar echoed through the forest and she was set on edge.
Noir ran towards base camp, her body hadn't quite recovered but she needed to protect them there. That feeling, that noise, it could only be one thing.
"That's a dragons roar!" Wendy exclaimed as she looked around.
"Are you sure its not a thunder storm?" Lily asked as he put his paws over his ears.
The noise echoed around again. Louder this time, the ground shook and everyone looked around.
Before Noir could speak, Gildarts, Lucy, Happy and Natsu came running back.
"Is everyone alright?" Lucy asked.
"Can you hear that crazy noise?" Happy questioned.
Noir's eyes fell to Gildarts, she felt sorrow for him, she even felt guilty because of what happened to him.
"Yeah what is it?" Gray asked, just before Gildarts gripped his shoulder in pain, Cana and Natsu coming to his aid.
"My wounds are starting to burn like hell." He said and looked around, meeting Noir's eyes with a knowing look. She nodded and turned to the group.
"That is a Dragon." She said bluntly. "And he's getting close."
"Look up at the sky, something's coming this way!" Lily shouted and Noir's eyes flashed up.
"Give me strength" She whispered to herself before looking back to Fairy Tail. "I forbid any of you from attacking that Dragon, unless it is your only option."
"You and what authority?!" Natsu shouted at her and she grabbed his vest, forcing him to look into her angered eyes.
"As the second strongest in the guild, as a S-Class mage and as the superior Dragon slayer." She snarled.
"Fuck!" Gray shouted as he pointed a shaking finger to the sky.
"It is a dragon." Bixslow said and looked at Noir. "You're a Dragon Slayer?"
Noir looked up to see a large dragon, his base black, his front white and blue decorating his scales.
It landed in front of them all, its pure weight and size shaking the ground as it let out another terrifying roar. Noir grit her teeth, positioning herself in between the guild and the dragon.
"Compared to what Wendy and Natsu say about their dragons, this one looks so evil!" Happy exclaimed in panic.
"You're right, this is the most evil thing in existence."
"So are we going to fight it or what?" Natsu shouted.
"Fall back!" Noir shouted at them. "It's not safe."
"We can't Natsu, you don't understand, this isn't about winning or loosing, this is about getting away with our lives." Gildarts said as his eyes hardened. "And I'm not sure all of us are going to be lucky enough to do that."
It stomped its foot as it looked down.
"Come on, everyone run now." Gildarts shouted.
"I'm sorry." Noir whispered. "But I can't leave."
"What's it doing?" Lisanna shouted, as she clung to Mira.
Then it roared, the ground around it shook and bits of it flew back, the forest was flattened, desolated and wiped from existence. Everyone was pushed back.
When the dust settled there were only two things in their original position. Noir and the Dragon.
"No way." Natsu said. "The entire forest... Is gone."
"In just one roar... How strong is that thing?" Cana asked as Gildarts held her shoulder.
"Not just strong, he's evil pure and simple." Gildarts said, shaking his head.
"Noir?" Lucy said.
"Father... please leave." Noir said, the whole guild heard her, and stared at her in disbelief.
"He's just getting warmed up." Gildarts said to Noir. "Even if he's your dragon, I don't think he's going to just leave."
Noir gritted her teeth. "I don't want to fight you... I forgave you for killing my family, because despite who and what you are, you showed me kindness, raised me into a powerful wizard. I guess I was stupid to think you ever loved me Father."
"Noir will hold him back as long as she can, if you want to stay alive, get out of here." Gildarts shouted at the terrified group.
It flew up, it's great wings throwing pressure downwards at them.
"Hurry!" Gildarts shouted with the utmost urgency.
"The ships are that way!" Erza shouted. "Noir, are you coming with us?"
"Somebody has to attempt to hold him back." Noir said through gritted teeth. "Even if he's my old man, nobody even thinks about harming fairy tail and gets away with it."
They all began to run, leaving Noir alone in a battle she'd always hoped would never come to pass but her dragon, her father didn't seem interested in her in the slightest. It flew forwards, leaving Noir to run after it.
"Wendy, you know how to communicate with Dragons, don't you?" Carla asked.
"Anyone can, but this Dragon didn't come here to talk!" Wendy said, fear coating her voice.
The dragon landed, in front of Freed and Bixslow. It had cut of the escape route, fighting seemed to be Noir's only option.
"Apcolyptyic Dragon: Chains of Oppression!" From her hands came forth dark metal chains, wrapping around the thing she once called father's neck.
The success only lasted mere moment. It broke away from them. But it gave Freed and Bixslow enough time to retreat.
"Why us? Why are you doing this?" Wendy asked, tears streaming down her face.
"He views humans as insects, he won't talk, neither will he engage us in a true battle." Noir growled as she readied another spell.
True to her word, the dragon merely tried to stomp on the guild.
"Noir?" Lucy asked, as she clung to Laxus, fearful for what's to come. "What does he want?" Laxus tightened his arms around her, in his mind he knew that this was most likely the last time he could ever hold her.
"The world? To thwart humanity? Dinner?" Noir shook her head. "I do not know."
"Noir, your arm." Natsu said, and she looked down to see her tattoo on her left arm had curled tightly around her wrist.
"I don't know what that means..." She whispered.
"We're trapped!" Levy shouted. "What do we do?" She asked.
Natsu ran forth towards the dragon. His efforts were only thwarted as the dragon batted him out of the way as if he was a fly.
"... Commencing Dragon Slayer's Forbidden Art: My left hand is chaos, My right hand is destruction and my eyes are death, I am the end of this world. World Damnation." She said as she brought her hands together, her eyes becoming totally black.
A massive arcane circle appeared underneath the dragon they sky becoming black as dark power struck down from the heavens. The ground suddenly began to crack as red light spilled from it.
Everyone watched, she'd just condensed the power that could destroy the world into one small area. She began to fall, only to be caught by Gajeel and Levy.
The dust settled and the Dragon was still standing.
"W-What..." She murmured. "That was my strongest spell."
"Noir, can't you talk to him?" Lucy cried out and Noir shook her head, looking at her wrist.
"I'm sorry... I can't." she said as she stumbled forward. "Zeref... Is their anyway to kill him?" She whispered to herself as she raised an arm to the air.
"Everyone back!" The master shouted. "This spell isn't the only way Noir!"
She slowly brought her other arm up slowly in a circular motion and brought them down. She placed her arms together, index and little finger up. "Death Pillar." Black magic suddenly shot up towards the sky, slamming into the dragon. She fell to her knees, hands on the ground. "Isn't it ironic, they way we first met will be the last time we see each other."
The dragon roared in pain.
"Blame it on yourself, you forced me to learn all this magic!" She growled as the power intensified. "I don't care if I die, as long as I take you down with me. I will destroy you for daring to try and hurt Fairy Tail."
"Noir stop this madness don't kill yourself!" The master shouted.
"Noir!" Lucy cried out.
"Fuck..." She said as the pillar began to fade, leaving both alive. It was the glory of death magic, you'd die or you were fine, no in between. "I always thought, I was powerful enough to destroy you. I guess I'm a sorry excuse for a slayer."
He knocked her back, she slammed into the tree next to Natsu.
"You jerk! You'd attack your own daughter!" Natsu growled, readying to go for another attack.
The master stood in front of them, preventing another assault from the two slayers. He put his arm out, and began to glow with a yellow light, transferring into his Titan mode. He began to grapple with the Dragon, but only got pushed backwards.
"What are you doing?" Noir shouted as Mira and Erza helped her to her feet.
"Master, don't play the hero, the guild needs you!" Erza shouted. "Noir, can't you do anything?"
"Run!" Makarov shouted.
"He didn't die when I used death pillar!" Noir growled. "I'll fight but..."
Everyone nodded, swearing to fight to the bitter end.
"Will you shut up and take heed of your masters final wish?" The master roared as he got pushed further back.
"Are you kidding? I'm a dragon slayer this is what I was born to do." Natsu shouted, but his scarf was grabbed by Laxus and was pulled away.
Everyone began to run. Noir spared one final look back at the father she had once looked up to, and the man who had taken her in, became her family despite knowing exactly what she was.
"I'm sorry..." She said as she broke away from Mira and Erza, running to Wendy and lifting her into her arms. "I can't destroy Acnologia but I can protect the guild until I draw my final breath."
The sound of crashing echoed around them.
"I won't let you hurt my children!" His voice rang out.
Natsu broke away from Laxus, running back. Noir put Wendy down.
"Don't wait up for us." The purple haired slayer said as she followed Natsu.
They saw the master, smiling, his eyes closed as his soul began to fade into oblivion.
Then the dragon reared its ugly head, seeing Natsu, it whipped it's tail forward. Only to be met by a pyramid of earth that stopped his attack.
"We're getting Gramps back!" Natsu shouted as he jumped onto the back of the Dragon of the Apocalypse's back.
"Get back!" The master shouted and Noir laughed as she effortlessly jumped onto her father's head.
"Let me pay back every kindness you ever gave me Gramps." She said.
Ancologia twisted, trying to get the two slayers off him, and managed to throw the master back.
After the dust had calmed, Makarov was back to his usual size. Erza stood in front of him.
"You too Erza?" The master asked.
"Well I was down with the evacuation plan, but there are many others who would stay and fight." Laxus said. "I ain't letting the old guy take the fall."
Erza held out her sword. "Now attack!"
The guild launched themselves at the dragon in perfect harmony. Blow after Blow they landed on the dragon.
Noir landed next to Laxus, and looked at the master. "This was never yours or their fight. The reason you'd fight for me, despite this, is the reason I came back, the reason they came back."
Makarov began to tear up, wet streaks began to decorate his face. "You damn stupid kids." He shouted, but in his voice was pride.
Lightning began to run around Laxus's body, occasionally jumping off to shock Noir as she pulled the darker energies from around them into her body.
"Come on guys! Let's give it everything we've got!" Laxus shouted. "If you let lose on this guy and I shock him with a million volts of lightning, he'll learn to never mess with fairy Tail again."
Noir placed her hand on his shoulder. "That's if your attack hits first. First one to hit gets to ask Lucy out."
"Raging Bolt!"
"Death Shroud!"
It shocked Lucy to watch Laxus's and Noir's attack to begin to join in perfect harmony. A deadly unisons raid, and a partnership that could be considered unbeatable.
"Heaven's Wheel!"
"Super Freezing Arrow!"
"Water Nebula!"
"Solid Script: Fire bolt!"
"Now Sagittarius, Let him have it!"
Guild member after Guild member gave their most powerful attack, creating the most powerful unisons raid ever seen.
A ball, blue in colour, covered by lightning, glistening with death enveloped Ancologia.
"Seriously, we unloaded on this bastard, and he's still smiling?" Laxus growled out. "Let's see what you Dragon Slayers can do."
Noir didn't speak, but somewhere deep down in her heart she knew it would be pointless.
"Are you ready Natsu, Noir?"
The three other dragon slayers were flown up to over Ancologia. Noir staying on the ground, her eyes closed.
"Iron Dragon: Roar!"
"Sky Dragon: Roar!"
"Fire Dragon: Roar!"
"Apcolyptic Dragon: Roar!"
The four attacks became one, hitting the dragon head on. Noir never opening her eyes once.
"Why Papa? You promised you'd always protect me. Why are you doing this?" She projected her thought into his mind and it hurt, she got no answer.
He flew back, hitting the cliff behind him.
"Did that work?" Someone asked.
"Father used more power on me while we were training when I was nine." Noir said.
"She's right, he's not even using half as much power as when he attacked me." Gildarts said.
"He's playing with you." Noir explained.
"Why hasn't he just killed us already?!" Natsu shouted.
"Perhaps he didn't want to kill his daughter." Lucy said, and Noir shrugged. "Maybe he just wants you to come home."
"No." Noir said. "If he wanted that he'd kill everyone of you, it wouldn't matter if I got hit, I'd just go into stasis until my body had healed."
The ground shook as he burst through it, and flew up into the air. He watched them, before he began to breathe in water and air.
"Breath Magic!" Gajeel shouted.
"Defense Users, bring out your most powerful defense spells!" Erza shouted.
"I don't have time." Freed said.
Noir looked up and sighed. "My shield never held up against that attack."
"Script magic has a lot of defense spells that would be useful right now." Levy said.
"Think of one quick!" Bixslow demanded. "Everybody concentrate your magic onto Levy and Freed!" Lisanna called out.
"I'll lend you my shield, for whatever good it might do." Noir said.
"Everybody join hands!" Mira said as she took her brothers and her sisters hands.
Lucy began to cry, but Natsu grabbed her hand.
"Come on Lucy, we won't go down crying!" He said.
"Fairy Tail won't go down without a fight." She cried out, Gray took her hand.
"We've got to face our fears together, we'll show him we have a bond that can never be broken."
Juvia took Noir's and Gray's hands, smiling at both.
They all stood in a circle, holding each other hands.
Tears fell down cheeks as everyone smiled at each other, squeezing each other hands.
"For what its worth, thanks for being my family." Noir said.
"We're not going to die Violet!" Gajeel shouted at her.
"Yeah but my dignity has."
"Okay kids, let's go home to Fairy tail!" The master shouted.
"Back home to Fairy Tail!" They all said and a soft golden light began to pour from the middle of them.
"Ah fuck, light magic. This is going to hurt like a bitch." Noir sighed but then smiled, tears pouring down her cheeks. "If these are my last moments, I'm glad I can spend them with you guys."
Then the beam hit them, exploding the island and wiping it from existence.
"Hey Papa, I forgive you."
Okay so thanks for reading, I'm wondering how many people saw the Acnologia being Noir's dragon coming. I know someone saw the Zeref being the one to take her immortality. But so many more twists and stuff to write.
Okay, this is concering not too far ahead in the story, do you guys want me to write the Grand Magic Games. There are three options and I guess combining 1 and 2 is an option, I suppose but...
1. I write about the GMG but Noir isn't involved in it.
2. I skip over the main event and then have a special event where the Dragon slayers (excluding Wendy and Cobra) fight on a 1v1 basis, to find out who's the strongest slayer (I'm flipping a coin to decide)
3. No writing, just a brief mention.
