Chapter 53
"FIRE DRAGON KING'S DEMOLITION FIST" Natsu charged forward as he put all his strength in to a single strike, erasing Zeref and half of the guild, "sorry gramps I messed up the guild again"
As Natsu was about to walk away the wall he destroyed started to fix itself and Zeref started being pieced back together along with it until there was no trace of Natsu's destruction, "it seems you don't understand what the ultimate magical power means" Zeref said as he walked up to Natsu
"I don't care" Natsu threw a flaming punch
Zeref caught the fist as he thrush his through Natsu's chest, "before you die I should tell you there is no need to apologise to Makarov, he's already dead perhaps you'll met him in heaven" Zeref walked past Natsu as he fell to the ground, covered in blood
In the skies far from Magnolia two dragons clashed, the golden dragon slashed the black one across its face as the ship Christina tried to manoeuvre out of the way of the battle. Acnologia pushed Kalex off him before ramming the lightning dragon in his stomach, Kalex punched the black dragon's back as he was forced in to the ocean below.
"I AM THE DRAGON KING, ALL OTHER DRAGONS SHALL DIE AT MY HAND!" Acnologia shouted as he drove the dragon down
"I WON'T BE KILLED BY A CHUMP LIKE YOU" Kalex broke away from Acnologia and flew above him, "LIGHTNING DRAGON ROAR"
Acnologia dodged the lightning roar but it's sheer power left a gaping hole in the ocean below, the black dragon responded with his own roar that Kalex managed to dodge by a few millimetres. Acnologia flew forward and grappled with Kalex, as they we struggling against each other Acnologia sent a roar through Kalex's chest.
"KALEX!" Erza watched as the golden dragon fell from the sky with a hole in his chest
"NOW TO RID THIS WORLD OF THE OTHER DRAGONS" Acnologia turned his attention to the Christiana
Kalex started at the figure of the black dragon as he fell from the sky and in to the sea, "I guess it's up to you now Natsu" he thought as he sunk beneath the waves
"Gray, Kalex, Gajeel, everyone you need to stop him now" Natsu thought as he hit the floor
Kalex sat on a tree branch as Natsu punched the tree with black flaming fists, "oh come on Natsu at this rate you'll never learn god slayer magic" Kalex mocked as he looked down at the fire dragon
"come down here and I'll show you what I learned" Natsu shook his fist at the dark mage
"oh calm down you've only been part of Reaper's path for a few months I don't expect you to get it instantly" Kalex said as he jumped down
"why do I need to learn all three slayer arts anyway?" Natsu asked, "I'm strong enough with dragon slayer magic"
"all slayer magic" Kalex answered
"what's that?" Natsu asked
"from what I've read it's the perfect combination of all three slayer arts, it is believed to be the panicle of magic, the closest you'll ever be able to get to the one magic" Kalex told him, "the one who obtains all slayer can kill anything that exists"
"why would you want me to get this all slayer magic?" Natsu asked, "I might use it on you"
"with two people reaching for it at least one is likely to obtain it" Kalex said as he walked inside, "now keep training all slayer awaits"
"this world is over and soon a new one will be born" Zeref walked to the doors of the guild hall, "let's make these the doors to my new world"
The doors of the guild started to shine with a bright light, "it is poetic, many have walked through these doors beginning new adventures and ending old ones, it is only fitting they are the end of this old world and the beginning of my new one" Zeref took a step towards the doors
"gramps always told us that if we walk out of those doors we need to promise to walk back through them no matter what" Natsu stood up to face Zeref again
"it seems you never lea…." Zeref turned to see the hole in Natsu's chest was healed, "it seems someone is rewriting your book E.N.D"
"I'll use all the lessons taught to me by gramps and everyone else" Natsu became completely encased in flames, "I'll use it all to erase you and save this world"
"what are those flames?" Zeref asked as he noticed the flames were burning off even Natsu's skin, "what is this power?"
"it's the power a friend wanted me to gain, all slayer magic" Natsu charged forward, "NOW BURN AWAY, FLAME ALL SLAYER DEMOLITION FIST"
Zeref was engulfed in flames as Fairy heart and all his magic was burned away from him. The black wizard was thrown to the floor with his clothes in tatters and struggling to breath, "what is this?" he asked himself, "is this dying? Am I finally dying?"
Zeref lay on the ground unable to move as Mavis stood up and walked over to him, "I guess I can leave this to you first" Natsu managed out before he collapsed
"I can't move Mavis" Zeref looked up at the Fairy tail master, "but I'll heal soon enough and I'll be fine"
"you hurt so many of my friends and I really want to hate you Zeref, I want to destroy you" Mavis looked down at him as tear started to fall, "but even now I don't think I can bring myself to do it"
"I don't think dying by your hand wouldn't be so bad" Zeref said
"you loved me and as proof of that love you stole away my life but I couldn't do the same to you even though we had the same curse" Mavis said, "I didn't love you like you loved me"
"I know that but even so my feelings towards you never changed" Zeref told her
"but mine have, I should hate you, you brought death and pain to my friends but even so I can't bring myself to hate you" Mavis kneeled next to Zeref, "I'm the only one able to understand you and you are the only one able to understand me, I want to use my anger to kill you but I can't and I want to use my love for you to kill you but I still can't do that"
"Mavis…" Zeref looked up at the girl
"I want us to be together forever" Mavis fell on to his chest, "I want you dead but I can't bring myself to do it so please just die"
"don't die" Mavis thought as she cried in to his chest
"we can always be together" Zeref raised his hand to stroke her hair, "we will be"
The two looked in to each other's eyes as they shared a final kiss, light started to consume the both of them, "thank you Mavis I can finally get some rest but you need to go now" Zeref told her
"no I said we'll be together forever" Mavis clung on tighter
"I don't really have the energy to argue any more although I'm happy you'll stay by my side" Zeref closed his eyes
"me too" Mavis said as she closed her eyes
The two of them were soon completely enveloped in light and they disappeared.
Far from Magnolia the flying ship Christina tried as hard as it could to escape Acnologia but the black dragon managed to destroy the ship's engines and sent it towards the sea, "WE'RE GOING DOWN,MEEEEEEN" Ichiya screamed as he tried to keep the ship level
The ship crashed it to the water and started to sink as everyone swam out of it, "what can we do?" Erza thought as she looked up at the black dragon, "Acnologia will kill us all"
The black dragon king opened his mouth as he charged up his breath to finish them off, "THE ERA OF DRAGONS IS LONG GONE NOW IS THE ERA OF ACNOLO…" the black dragon was interrupted by a lightning bolt striking him
"I MUST THANK YOU FOR OPENING THAT OLD WOUND FATHER" Kalex rose out of the water, "IT WAS JUST THE REMINDER I NEEDED, THE BOOST I NEEDED"
Erza watched as lightning enveloped the golden dragon and his scales were ripped from his body, "I AM THE LIGHTNING DRAGON GOD, THE ONE WHO SLAYS ALL AND I WILL TAKE YOUR HEAD ACNOLOGIA!" Kalex charged the black dragon and the two clashed again
"WHAT IS THIS MAGIC I DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO CONSUME IT?" Acnologia asked as he pushed Kalex off him
"IT IS THE ULTIMATE MAGIC, ALL SLAYER AND I'LL USE IT TO KILL YOU" Kalex flew forward and punched Acnologia in his face
"THIS MAGIC HARMS YOU AS WELL, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I BECOME VICTORIOUS" the black dragon dug his claws in to the gold dragon's arms
"THEN I'LL DESTROY US BOTH, LIGHTNING ALL SLAYER DESTRUCTION BOLTB" Kalex called downa giant bolt of lightning that consumed both dragons completely, forcing the mages watching to cover their eyes
When the light finally receded they could see the two dragons, now in their human forms, falling from the sky, "this was a good battle" Acnologia said with a smile on his face as he left this world, "you were a success"
Acnologia fell in to the sea and sunk to the bottom, "thanks dad" Kalex smiled as he fell back in to the sea
"this is really getting old" Kalex thought as he sunk down in to the ocean
He reach out his severely burned hand as his vision started to fade but before it went completely black he saw a streak of red and felt someone drag him upwards.
