(So I'm updating this every week because the story is finished and I want to start writing my next story. I have a good idea for it, something different I haven't done yet. As for Generations... it's dead.)
Big thing happening this chapter. How will the Alliance react? Well, I know. But I think one reaction will seriously surprise you... reviews and constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy!
Chapter 34
All dragon slayers were flying quickly around Acnologia, attack and determination increased. They moved quicker through the air, their bodies more dragon-like, more streamline. Acnologia grinned wildly at his attackers.
"Finally, after all these years. A challenge!"
"Shut up!" Natsu roared, slamming and ball of fire into his face. The spell was much more powerful then usual, and it seemed the beast took damage. "Fire Dragon Wing Attack!"
"Sky Dragon Wing Attack!" Wendy attacked at the same time, combining spells with Natsu. The force made a massive explosion, making Acnologia become covered in smoke. The black dragon blew it away, lashing outwards. His claw scraped Laxus' side, making him grunt. Shaking off the pain, the lighting dragon absorbed the lightning from the clouds around him and fired a bolt at Acnologia, which did nothing to him.
Acnologia raised his head towards the dark sky. "Eternal Flare!" In an instant, magic rained from the sky in a destructive manner, causing large blasts as they hit the ground. The exceeds did their best to avoid the magic, keeping the assigned partner from harm.
"Nice flying buddy." Natsu gave a fanged grin. Happy nodded before they turned attention back to the threat.
"White Shadow Dragon Roar." Rouge yelled. It was a direct hit in Acnologia's weak spot, making cry out in pain.
Acnologia span round and glared at Rouge, some interest in his eyes. "A duel type dragon slayer?" He questioned. "Tell me boy, how?"
"Absorbing a different element from a dragon slayer." Rouge replied.
"You killed your own kind?" Acnologia narrowed his eyes.
Rouge shook his head sadly. "The opposite. Sting sacrificed himself so I may live."
"Impressive." Acnologia chuckled. "But this is a dragon roar." The black dragon built up a shining blue light before firing it. However, his target wasn't Rouge. It was Natsu. The pinkette looked surprised as he caught the full blast, unable to dodge in time. The dragon slayer fell towards the mountain, body scarred and burnt.
Natsu slowly opened his eyes, body aching all over. He rolled over to his front, ignoring the stones around him. Panting slightly, he began to push himself upwards, stopping on all fours.
"That looked painful." A voice said. Natsu froze. Literally. His body wouldn't move a muscle, only his head had been given permission to look around. Tilting his head upwards, he saw the unbreakable smile of Zeref.
"W-Where's Gramps?" Natsu asked quickly.
"Most likely unconscious." Zeref shrugged. "Warrod on the other hand, needed a more permanent solution." Natsu widened his eyes. He glanced towards where he saw the last two wizard saints fighting. Makarov was slowly shaking on the floor, his tiny body beaten all over. The co-founder of Fairy Tail was worse off, his leaves fluttering off his body, his tree like body turned dark. Eyes hollow.
"No..." Natsu whimpered, before he bared his fangs and growled angrily.
"Now I can finally active the final part of my plan." Zeref's smile got bigger. "We have the book, E.N.D, Acnologia, and a whole lot of pain. Are you ready to meet him?"
Zeref stood back, producing the book from his robes. Opening it to the middle page, he placed a hand on one side, while a magic symbol began to glow on the other.
"Awaken, Beast of Zeref, my stronger creation, one to destroy Acnologia, one to help rule the land. One that will achieve my goal. Awaken from your four hundred year sleep. Awaken, Etherious Natsu Dragneel!" A golden light bursted from Natsu, covering him. The light pirced the sky, blinding everyone before it disappeared. Around the frozen Natsu, a golden magic circle had appeared below him. It was the same symbol that was in the book.
Natsu roared out in pain, fear flashing across his face before he started twitching violently. His teeth became even sharper then when he entered dragon force. His scale like skin transformed into real scales, black ones covering his arms, legs and body, although they stopped at his neck. Golden horns began growing out of his hair, perfectly pointing in tow directions, one clear curl on them. Low down his body, a dragon like tail was produced below his spine, just as black as his scales, a sharp point on the end. Just between his shoulder blades, two wings sprouted, black in colour with a red undertone. Natsu'a cries of pain became growled and rasps of anger, his eyes becoming slits.
Zeref stood back and admired his work. "Perfect."
Unknown to the two, one man was watching everything unfold. The man was in disbelief at what had just occoured. His body began to shake as a mixture of feelings swelled his heart. He took a few deep breathes before he calmed down. He'd made up his mind. Producing an ice sword from his devil slayer magic, Gray began walking towards Natsu.
"What's happening to Salamander?" Gajeel growled, looking at Natsu's changing form. "Is this above dragon force?"
Acnologia growled, a hint of fear in it this time. "No. This is Natsu's true form. That is no longer Natsu. That, is E.N.D. Etherious Natsu Dragneel."
"Did everyone hear that?" Warren contacted the whole Alliances through his telepathy magic. The response was silent as everyone was in shock. Only two people were moving.
Gray's breathing wasn't steady, his pace switching between slow and fast. His gaze was still on the wrighting Natsu, but his eyes didn't say he was going to help.
"Going somewhere?" A voice asked. Gray stopped and glanced behind him. Erza was behind him, arms crossed and a shadow covering her face.
"No." Gray replied coldly.
"What are you planning to do with Natsu?"
"I'm not going to do anything to Natsu." Gray growled. "E.N.D however..."
"Funny..." Erza muttered, walking past Gray. She was a few feet in front of him before stopping and shooting daggers at the man. "To me, it seemed like you were about to hurt Natsu."
A scowl appeared on Gray's face. "Hurt? Wrong Erza. I'm going to end E.N.D..."
Expect that? Oh yeah, I also killed Warrod. The tree guy. I said no more deaths, but, this is the final war. Stuffs gonna happen. And Warrod had a good life, right? No... sorry. Hopefully you all enjoyed, literally everything heating up next chapter! I can't wait!
