On with the story
"What was that!?" Gildarts asked while looking around.
"It came from the direction of the guild…" Cana turned to Fairy Tail's direction as the guild was in sight.
"Gildarts! Cana!" Warren came in as he hollered at them
"Laxus! Everyone!" Cana exclaimed back as she was glad to see them
"The First said that no one should go near the guild." Freed reported.
"I think she has some plan" Bickslow said
Gildarts saw Makarov as he looks sadly to him
"I just want to bring him home to the guild as soon as possible" Laxus said with a smile
"what happened to the Acnologia?" Cana asked
"I saw him chasing after Blue Pegasus" Warren replied
"Did they act as bait…?" Evergreen asked.
"Those guys…they are true men," Elfman said.
"Okay, so what about those who are missing right now?" Gildarts turned to Warren.
"I'll look for them right now." Warren said.
"….Everyone, please be okay…" Levy was praying for the safety of those not present right now. Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, and Erza
The powerful shockwave knocked over Gray, and the others.
"Ouch…" Gray got up, bringing a hand to his head. "What the hell was that?"
"It came from the guild…!" Aya said
Ultear looks to the guild as she can sense something bad
"we have to go back" Meredy said "we can't just leave Natsu on his own!"
"no!" Gray told her "we have to trust him, he said it himself that he would end this all"
The two looks to the guild as they saw flames erupting from the guild
"woof!"
Gray and the others heard a bark as they turned around to see North running towards them
"North!" Aya exclaimed in joy to see the wolf as North runs to them
"where have you been?!" Gray asked as he scratches the wolf's head "we've been worried for you"
"bark!" North just barks as he had something in his jaw
"what is that?" Ultear asked as North gave her the book of END
"that's the book of END.." Gray said "that's Natsu's book"
Ultear looks to the book as she opened it and thousands and thousands of magic characters flowed out of it
"what….what is this stuff!?" Meredy exclaimed in surprise to see dozens of magic characters
"it's a High Level Life Link Magic" Ultear stated out as she looks at all the characters "this is everything about Natsu…from his life..from his magic….everything"
"everything here…" Gray looks to the characters as more and more keep pouring out "is everything there is about Natsu?"
Zeref was now the White Wizard. He was now on par with a deity. Natsu growled while gently setting Mavis down. "First…"
"It's useless." Zeref spoke "I have transcended beyond"
"so what?" Natsu said as flames erupted on Drac "I will still end you!"
"You won't be able to do that, because I'm unable as well." Zeref's tone lowered.
Natsu took a deep breath as flames flied into his mouth
"Enryuo no Hoko!"
Natsu unleashed a potent burst of high powered flames directly onto Zeref. There was a large, focused explosion of flame and the guild shook violently while creating a giant burning hole "I'm sorry, gramps….i overdid it"
Natsu staggered back before he looks in shock as Zeref regenerates himself and so did the damage Natsu had done
"Don't you understand your powerless now, END?" Zeref said "This is the Fairy Heart's power."
Zeref wore a smile as he approached the exhausted Natsu slowly, a white light wrapping around his hand. "It's an infinite power. We can say it's the 'magic' that overcomes all magic."
The White Wizard then stabbed his hand through Natsu's chest.
"GAH…!" Blood spurted from Natsu's chest and his mouth from the mortal blow. Zeref withdrew his hand and Natsu started to collapse.
"There's one last thing I forgot to tell you." Zeref began as Natsu fell to the ground. "You don't need to apologize to Makarov, because he's already dead."
Natsu looks in shock as tears flowed in his eyes
"I hope to meet you in heaven…" Zeref started to walk towards his destination: the front doors of Fairy Tail. "Goodbye, Natsu."
Jellal took to the skies with Meteor, floating before Acnologia. He was going to buy everyone some time to open the gate
With his speed increase, he began to fly towards Acnologia, moving in sharp angles to confuse the dragon. It worked and for a moment, Acnologia couldn't follow his movements, only to growl in annoyance when the sinner struck his neck, causing the dragon more annoyance than anything.
"You must want to die!" Acnologia said while inhaling some of Jellal's magic power since he was nearby, only to unleash a potent blast of azure magic that cut through the sky. It was so large it nearly caught the ship in its wake.
"JELLAL!" Erza screamed in worry. Jellal was moving and Acnologia turned his head to follow it. The roar cut through the ocean only to explode violently, sending water flying up to the sky while splitting the sea in two. Everyone in the ship nearly collapsed from the vibrations. The sea was scarred from that single attack.
"The sea split in two…" Jenny was in awe.
"Unbelievable…" Hibiki said
"I thought I could buy some time by evading his attacks, but at this rate…there will be nothing left of this world." Jellal said as a single attack split the ocean.
"The Timelaspe still isn't open!? Erza turned to Anna, who was struggling.
"I've been giving it my best effort, but it's not budging at all!" The Heartflila reported. "Is someone closing it on purpose!?"
Natsu and Mavis were down. The only two people capable of stopping him no longer could, and now, he could begin walking towards Fairy Tail's front doors. "This world is over. A new one will soon begin. Let us make the door of Fairy Tail the door to the new world, by connecting this guild's door with the ravines of time."
With every step he took, the guild's entrance gave off a bright light. He stood before the front doors, simply elated that his plan finally, finally came to fruition. "Once I pass through this door, this world will crumble, and my world will begin. Many have passed through this door, those setting out on a journey and those returning from one. Who could've imagined that Fairy Tail's door would be the end and the beginning of this world too. How ironic…"
"I will relive my life once more. While keeping the memories I have now. I will no longer make any mistakes. I will save this world."
All the magic characters started exploding as they were disappearing
"the words are gone!" Aya exclaimed
"Did something happen to Natsu!?" Gray asked, worriedly.
"He's hurt…! He's got a serious injury somewhere!" Ultear exclaimed as the characters keeps disappearing
"we have to stop them from disappearing!" Meredy exclaimed as she takes out a magic pen out of her pocket
"but we don't know which part you've got to rewrite?!" Gray exclaimed as more and more characters were disappearing
"I do!" Aya exclaimed while raising her hand "I remembered them all!"
"really?!" Gray exclaimed as Meredy gave the pen to her little sister
"this here, that there, and here" Aya started to write magic letters as some of the lost characters started to reappear
"…!" Anna gasped as she felt the gate Timelapse opening "The ravines have opened!"
"Really?!" Erza exclaimed
"Although, it was not by my power. Someone else opened it, but that doesn't matter right now. The door is open." Anna said.
"Anna, look at that!" Ichiya pointed as there was a giant distorted portal in the sky
"what is that?" Acnologia looks to the giant portal as he was confused
"As soon as he figures out what that is, our plan is going to be ruined!" Eve warned everyone.
"What the hell do we do!?" Ren asked.
"Don't worry, I'll keep him in check!" Jellal acted brazenly, beginning a full throttle charge at Acnologia.
"STOP! THAT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Anna exclaimed. "You'll be gone too if you touch that!"
"THERE'S NO OTHER WAY!" In one ear and out the other. Jellal closed the distance between himself and the evil dragon.
"JELLAL!" Erza screamed.
"OOOOOOH!" Jellal rammed his body into Acnologia's chest, exerting every ounce of magic in his body. This caused his aura to flare largely around his own body.
"Tell him to pull back!" Erza shouted out
"You…the one who wants to die…" Acnologia growled while beginning to inhale Jellal's magic power. "Did you forget who I am!? I AM THE MAGIC DRAGON, ACNOLOGIA!"
"My magic power is being sucked in…" Jellal grit his teeth. He was running out of time and magic. He just needed a little more…
"LEAVE IT, JELLAL!" Erza pleaded
"But…if he's touched by the timelaspe, then I'll be able to protect Erza!" Jellal thought as he pushed his effort to the max
"DON'T DO IT, JELLAL-KUN!" Ichiya shouted out
"Ichiya-san! The ship is at its limit! It'll fall!" A Blue Pegasus mage reported.
"BRACE FOR IMPACT!"
The ship then crashed into the ocean. The impact was so violent it threw everyone for a loop
And then, Acnologia brought his hand forward, grasping Jellal tightly within his grip. "GAAAH!"
"I'll crush you." The dragon held a malicious grin. His grip increased and Jellal could only let out a scream of pain as his bones were being crushed by the dragon's monstrous grip.
"No…" Erza looks in horror
Acnologia then got an idea. The Timelapse was behind him. He glanced back, realizing that this human's ultimate goal was to push him into whatever that hole was. "Was this your plan? To shove me into that rift?"
"He noticed it!?" Jenny gasped.
"Shit…!" Ren cursed.
"How about…" Acnologia turned around, holding his arm out to the Timelaspe, preparing to fling Jellal into the void of nothingness. "I PUSH YOU INTO IT YOU WRECHED HUMAN!"
"NOOOOO!" Erza reached out for Jellal, but it was hopeless. Their plan was going to backfire and Jellal was going to die
"This world has my gratitude…" Zeref said as he was going to take his first steps into his new world, and the last ones of this one.
"there is a vow…." Natsu's voice spoke as Zeref looks behind him and sees Natsu standing back up
"a vow that all who pass that door must always remember.." Natsu said as flames raged around him "the vow to live!"
All of the magic characters in the book of END were back as all of them were reappearing everywhere
"Amazing…" Gray said amazed on Aya's skill
"The words are back to normal!" Meredy looks in joy as Aya rewritten every single lost character
Ultear smiled before Aya leaned to her shoulder
"Aya?" Ultear looks to Aya as she felt Aya burning up "Aya!?"
"Aya?! Get a hold of yourself!" Gray's eyes widened as he saw red burning marks all over the little girl's body
"It's…hot" Aya huffed out as she was burning up fast "Mama…..It's too hot….."
"what's happening to her!?" Meredy exclaimed in worry for her little sister as the red marks were spreading around her
"the strain from the Life Link" Ultear stated "the feedback is riling itself into her!"
"we have to stop it!" Meredy exclaimed as Gray put his hand over Aya's forehead and cold steam started to cool the child down
"I'll cool her down!" Gray said as he poured every single ice magic, he has in reserve to save Aya
"me too" Ultear said as she uses her part of ice magic to cool Aya down
Meredy prayed as she prayed for her little sister to survive
Zeref looks in shock as Natsu stood back up
"The wounds disappeared?" Zeref looks in surprise before realizing what happened "where is END's book!? No…someone rewrote it? I can't believe that a human was able to handle the demonic letters. Even so, those who tried were eventually corrupted and fell into darkness…"
"Even if you're revived by some miracle, there's no life for the changed ones." Zeref said
"thank you…everyone" Natsu muttered out as he wipes off some blood on his lips "for giving me all your strength"
"How long do you intend to stand in my way!?" Zeref asked as Natsu ran towards Zeref
"UNTIL THE DAY THAT EVERYONE CAN LAUGH TOGETHER COMES!" Natsu screamed as he sends a punch towards Zeref's cheek
"THEN I'LL MAKE SURE THAT DAY NEVER COMES!" Zeref swung his hand up, slicing violently across Natsu's chest, causing the Salamander to let out a cry of pain.
"I'LL MAKE SURE THAT DAY IS TOMORROW!" Natsu flung himself forward, swinging his leg for a violent axe kick at Zeref's face. The White Wizard blocked the hit, but Natsu's intensity forced him to slide back.
Natsu summoned on Drac and Vlad as he spreads his fingers and grips onto Zeref
"Karyu no Akugeki!"
A violent burst of flames overtook Zeref, burning his body intensely. Damage was still being dealt, but Natsu was still unable to land a decisive blow against Zeref's new form.
"It won't work! It's all useless!" Zeref exclaimed while swiping his hand forward, sending multiple beams of black magic towards Natsu's body.
Natsu tumbled to the side to avoid the beams that would no doubt put him in critical condition once again
"Karyu no Yokugeki!" Nasu swings his hand into a swinging motion as he sends a flaming slash attack at Zeref but he blocked the attack
"Your struggle is useless! All I have to do is pass through those doors, and everything is over! I will save mankind!" Zeref declared as he flipped above Natsu, pointing his hand down to unleash a potent beam of darkness that caught Natsu in its wake.
"GUH!" Natsu crossed his arms, sliding back across the guild floors.
The beam was pushing him back into the wall, where was rapidly getting cornered.
"NO!" Natsu shouted out. "You're not trying to save humanity! You're only thinking of yourself! What you're doing is denying the world! Your ambitions are no better than Acnologia! This world isn't perfect, this world is on the brink of danger…people suffer every day. This world isn't perfect, BUT!"
Natsu breaks off the blasts as he then takes out a small black gem
Zeref saw that it was the gem in his discarded necklace
"that!?" Zeref looks in surprise as Natsu bites the gem and shattered it and black mist started to spread everywhere
"Being able to make it to tomorrow with those you care about is what makes life worth living! The world is too big to be changed so drastically, but it's the small changes that matter!"
The black mists all got sucked into Natsu's mouth as it got devoured by him
"You could never understand my suffering!" Zeref exclaimed. "You speak without knowing the suffering of the one's refused by this world that you fight for so valiantly. Some people don't have the privilege to make it to tomorrow, while I've been cursed to see every frightening tomorrow that disaster has wrought for the past 400 years! I've seen everything that's happened, and I can stop it all when I step through those gates! I won't make any mistakes, I will stop Acnologia from gaining power and destroying humanity, I WILL SAVE MANKIND! If this world of mistakes has to be destroyed in order for peace to bloom, then so be it!"
"That's where you're wrong!" Natsu shouted as all the mists were devoured by him before Natsu burst in a pillar of dark flames and crimson flames
"This world is not a mistake! Because this is the world…" Natsu shouted out as memories of his time with his friends and family of Fairy Tail came flooding back to him "THIS IS THE WORLD WHERE WE BELONG!"
Drac and Vlad fused into one as they turn into a black dragonic gauntlet on Natsu's right hand
Natsu burst into flames as the fire rages like hell
"This power…!?" Zeref pulled his hand back, eyes wide at what he was witnessing.
"look!" Meredy exclaimed as she saw the burst of magic coming from the guild
"is that..?" Gray looks to the guild "it's Natsu!"
"Natsu….." Ultear looks to the flames
"Papa…" Aya muttered out with a smile
"Hoh…" Gildarts grinned at the fire emanating from the guild. "Well, you don't see that every day, now do you?"
"Is that Natsu!?" Lisanna's eyes went wide.
"Who else could it be?" Laxus said with a slight grin.
"This power is…" Zeref stared at the flames that were raging
Mavis slowly regained consciousness. Her vision was blurry, but she could see and feel Natsu's form. "It's hot…"
"I made a promise." Natsu's voice came from within the flames "I promised that I wouldn't die. That I would come back home…to my family!"
The flames died down as Natsu's entire right arm was a fusion between a dragon and a demon
"this is the last battle! Time to end this all, Zeref!" Natsu shouted out
You can hit me as hard as you want, as many times as you want, but it won't work. Fairy Heart's power is infinite. Eternal. No matter what you do, I will always come back!" Zeref shouted out as he fired multiple dark magic blasts at Natsu
"then I'll burn it all!" Natsu shouted as his right fist burn-in crimson and black flames, and he started running towards Zeref "till nothing is left!"
"your flames shall never burn forever!" Zeref shouted
"it will! Because this is not my flames!" Natsu shouted out as the flames rage around more and more "this is the guild's flames!"
"JELLAL!" Erza screamed as Jellal was in the grips of Acnologia
"Everyone, get away from the ship! You're going to get caught up in the explosion!" A Pegasus member yelled.
"Aaaah…w-what do we do!?" Wendy asked while looking at Erza.
"I'M COMING!" Erza exclaimed "I have to save him!"
"Don't be an idiot, how are you going to save him!" Ren said while keeping himself afloat.
"What will come first? Will you be crushed? Or will this have some effect on you?" Acnologia questioned as his grip on Jellal tightened. All the sinner could do was scream in pain, but that scream was steadily getting weaker and weaker with each passing second. It wouldn't be long before Jellal met his end one way or another. All hope seems lost but that's when Christina started to move.
"What the!?"
"The ship's moving!?"
"That thing is going to explode! Besides that, it's a wreck! How is it even moving now!"
"Things have an order to them." Anna said while taking the wheel. "Pegasus, I'm sorry! I'm going to smash him and this whole ship into the Ravines of time!"
"Sensei!" Wendy cried out.
"That's crazy!" Eve objected.
"Are you trying to kill yourself!?" Ren asked "Don't be stupid!"
"This is my 400 year old duty!" Anna exclaimed.
Christina was on its last legs and started to fall again. The shift caused Anna to fall, and she wasn't going to be able to reach the wheel in time to keep the ship from crashing.
"It's useless! Only Pegasus members can fly Christina!" Hibiki said. That's when he realized that someone was missing
"But even so, I…" Anna reached out for the wheel, only to stop.
"Leave the flying to me." Ichiya said.
"ICHIYA!?" The Trimens exclaimed.
"No way…" Jenny's jaw dropped.
"Ichiya…"Erza looks in shock as she was taken aback by Ichiya's actions.
"I can't leave a woman with such beautiful perfume alone." The handsome man told Anna.
"…You are really a true man." Anna offered a slight smile as Christina blasted a full throttle towards Acnologia
"SENSEI!" Wendy yelled.
"ICHIYA-SAN!" The members of Blue Pegasus cried out.
"release him!" Ichiya shouted out as he rammed the ship at Acnologia and causing the dragon to loose its grip on Jellal
"You have a duty to make someone happy!" Ichiya told Jellal as the ship pushed Acnologia back
"you must protect your loved ones! Leave this battle to us!"
Jellal looks to the ship as it was pushing back Acnologia
"Ichiya…." Jellal looks to the ship before he fell into the ocean where Erza was swimming towards him
"EAT THIS ACNOLOGIA!" Ichiya shouted out
"THIS IS THE END!" Anna followed suit as they forced Acnologia's body into the Timelapse. "THIS IS THE END OF THE AGE OF THE DRAGON KING!"
"What!? What was this?! "This…!?" Acnologia exclaimed as he could feel his body being sucked into the nothingness "My body…UWAHHH! GAAAAH!"
He tried to resist its pull but Christina forced him back.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" A brilliant white light flashed as everything near the Timelapse was pulled into eternal nothingness. And soon there was nothing left.
Erza supported Jellal while Wendy and Cynthia moved to support Gaia. But their gaze never left the now open sky. Everyone was silent and the only sounds that filled the space were that of the gentle waves.
"….They disappeared…" Hibiki mumbled. "Acnologia too…"
"Ichiya and Anna too…they've all gone into the ravines of time…" Ren could only stare at the empty sky.
Jenny trembled before beginning to cry. "So I guess we won, huh? Right? We won right?"
Natsu ran towards Zeref at full speed with his flames in his fist as everything he ha, he poured it all into this one last attack
Zeref's hand flared with pitch black darkness as they swirl in a vortex
"NATSU!" "ZEREF!"
The two roared at each other as their final attack was against each other
"DISSAPEAR FOREVER! NATSU! ANKOKU! BAKUENJIN!"
Zeref swings his attack against Natsu as the darkness swirled into a vortex that would swallow up everything
"I!" Natsu roared out as all the flames disappeared and he dodge the attack
Zeref looks in shock as the flames re appeared once again but it raged even more
"WILL GO TO TOMORROW!" Natsu roared out as he pulled back his flaming fist as the flames rages even more
"I can't defend!" Zeref looks in shock as Natsu's flames were coming towards him
"ENRYUO NO!"
Natsu's fist collided with Zeref's chest as the flames burn everything into nothing
"HOKKEN!"
"my magic!? Time itself is being burned!?" Zeref looks in shock as the flames were so intense; Natsu's right arm was starting to burn away, skin and all.
"THE FUTURE BELONGS TO US!" Natsu roared out as he sends Zeref blasting away
"GAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Zeref screamed out in pain as everything was burned away by Natsu's flames
"Haaa….haaaaa….haaaaaa…." Natsu had ragged breathing as he nearly fell to the ground but he catches himself
Drac and Vlad disappeared as they fade away
"…I can't…move my body…" Zeref muttered out ""Foiled at the very, huh?""
"This is the first time this has happened to me. I can't believe…" He trailed off, the 'white' aura from his body fading away, reverting him back to normal.
Fairy Heart was eternal, as was his body and yet, here he was, lying on the ground defeated.
"No, there's no way I'll actually die. I'll just end up healing it all away, as usual."
Natsu turned over his shoulder to Mavis, who just barely managed to stand up.
"…I leave the rest to you" Natsu said as Mavis nodded
With that Natsu started to exit the guild.
"I'm….going home…Ultear and the others, they're waiting for me. Later, Big Bro…" Natsu bid his brother farewell as he left Mavis and Zeref alone in the guild.
The Black Wizard stared up at Mavis, unsure of what to even say now. It was just the two of them, the original, and their fate.
After a climactic battle within the walls of Fairy Tail, Natsu emerged victorious over Zeref.
It was no easy task as the Salamander basically lost his right arm in the process.
Now it was just Mavis and Zeref. The two who started all of this…and now, they'd be the two that ended it.
"My body…I can't move a muscle. Did I…lose?" Zeref asked Mavis. "Natsu is really something…"
"But he's also foolish. I will be reincarnated as I have many times over. Even these wounds…give me a few minutes, and they'll all be healed."
"Zeref…" Mavis mumbled while standing over the fallen Black Wizard. "You've made my friends suffer. You've hurt them. I can't forgive that. As First master of Fairy Tail, as someone who has believed in the bonds of family thicker than blood, I want nothing more than to erase you from this world."
"Death by your hand doesn't sound all that bad." Zeref admitted. "But I…"
Mavis then moved to sit on top of Zeref, straddling his waist to look down on him. The action surprised him. "No. Just rest." She demanded.
"If…you really can…" Zeref told her
"If only, back then…if I only I had believed you more." Mavis said.
"…What…what do you mean by that?" Zeref asked her with confusion
"You loved me." Mavis continued, placing a hand on her chest. "As proof of it, and because of the curse of contradiction, my life was stolen away from me. But despite the fact you're under the same curse as me, I wasn't able to steal away your life."
"…." Oh. So that's what she meant. Zeref was beginning to see where Mavis was going with this.
"Some part of me must not have believed you. I didn't have enough strength to love…" The First master of Fairy Tail sighed.
"There's no need to worry about all that now." Zeref told her. "I've never been loved by anyone. I realized that your emotions towards me were not love, they were just passion."
"NO! NOT PASSION! CONTRADICITON!" Mavis corrected.
"Because I met you, I learned how to use magic. Because I met you, I saved Magnolia. Because you were there, Fairy Tail was founded. You were everything I looked up to, and yet…you brought death and imprisoned my life. You hurt my friends and tried to use me to destroy Fairy Tail. I hate you so much, and yet I love you too." Mavis exclaimed at him
"I am the only one that can empathize with your loneliness. The only one that can understand it. My thoughts are in dissonance. I cannot calculate what I ought to do. If I loved you, I'd be able to kill you. If I truly thought of you as dead, from the depths of my heart, I'd be able to kill you. That was…my plan…and yet…"
He listened to all her words. They struck a chord in his heart somewhere. "Mavis…"
"BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE!" The woman shouted from the bottom of her heart, tears streaming down her face. "I WANT US TO STAY TOGETHER FOREVER!"
Her words made him smile. A genuine smile that hadn't been seen in so very long. "The dearer you hold a person's life, the more you steal it away from them. The curse of contradiction. So that's what it was. The answer was to be loved."
"WAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Mavis screamed and wailed. Her heart was tearing apart.
"Thank you Mavis, I'm sorry." The elder Dragneel said.
Mavis then began to bash on his chest with her petite fists. The impacts may not have been much, but each one contained her rage, her sorrow, and her love. "YOU CAN'T DIE! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DESTROYED MY GUILD! YOU HURT MY FRIENDS! YOU KILLED MAKAROV!" Her fists moved faster and faster as she continued to scream at him. "DIE! DIE! DIE! I DON'T LOVE YOU IN THE LEAST! JUST DIE ALREADY! DON'T EVER SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME AGAIN!" Her voice got lower and weaker as she started to lean closer and closer to him. "I don't love you! I don't love you! You're an enemy of my guild! You're an enemy of the world! So please…die…"
"Don't die…"
The woman rested her head against Zeref's chest for a moment. Then, she connected their lips, pulling back after a second. "…I'm so very happy…" Zeref said, his voice cracking as tears began to run down his cheeks.
"Because of you, I'll finally be able to get some sleep." A pillar of light rose from up from around the two of them. "I wish…we could have talked more. I wish I could have made things right with Natsu."
Mavis interlocked her fingers with Zeref's own. "Take me with you, Zeref."
"No…you must, life on…" Zeref objected to this, only because he wanted to live. She deserved to.
"Do you really believe that? From the bottom of your heart?" Mavis questioned.
"Yes." Zeref nodded. But despite his objection, she wouldn't let go. "Crap…looks like the curse is taking you, too…" As he said this, the two of them started to fade away…
"Let's go together, Zeref."
"Mavis. It's so warm…"
"Of course, silly. We're inside Fairy Tail, after all."
"I see. So this is what it means to die. A power that even an immortal cannot best. Love. The unifying magic…"
And at long last, Zeref Dragist, Emperor Spriggan…was finally down. He could rest in the afterlife after 400 long years. With that, the battle against the Alvarez Empire finally came to its conclusion
Everyone looks upon the golden light before hearing some grunting
"is the battle finally over?" an old weak voice spoke as it gains the tears of Fairy Tail
"Gramps…!" Laxus cried out in tears
"I had the weirdest dream" it was Makarov and he was alive "I felt a warm sensation flow into me and…"
"I saw a barefooted girl and a boy in all black, walking together in a field of flowers"
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
