On with the story
Everyone has gathered around in Hargeon as they prepared Fairy Sphere
"give it your all!" Elfman shouted out as everyone was gathering all of their magic into one to withhold Fairy Sphere as the barrier was forming around Acnologia and Natsu
"SIMPLY COMINBING YOUR FEEBLE POWERS WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH TO PREVAIL AGAINST THE DRAGON KING!" Acnologia roared out while trying to get out of Natsu's hold on him
"Fairy Sphere is going to be broken!" Lily yelled.
"…I can't…" Lucy dropped to her knees. "Our magic power wasn't enough…and I can't…focus on it for much longer…"
It was at that moment that a sensory link appeared on Lucy's wrist. "If that's the case, then we'll simply gather it from across the continent!" Meredy said as she and Ultear appeared on the scene.
"Meredy!" Juvia's face lit up.
"Sorry we're late!" Meredy said.
"I was busy gathering everyone's magic" Meredy lifted her wrist up. "And now we can gather all their magic to this point!"
Magic began flowing in from all corners of the continent, all into the Fairy Sphere circle.
Lucy felt the increase in power and her eyes widened. "Amazing…the magic it's…flowing in from all directions!"
"Ugh…I can't move…"Acnologia growled. His body stiffened to a halt.
"HAAAAAAAAAAH!" Every mage in Hargeon screamed as they offered every ounce of their magic power.
"connect our hearts! Our magic!" Ultear shouted out
"Take our magic too!" Mira screamed.
"DO IT!" Erza yelled.
"THIS IS ALL OF OUR MAGIC POWER!" Gray shouted.
"FROM ALL THE MAGES ACROSS THE CONTINENT!" Ur yelled out
Lucy held her hands together as she cast one of Fairy Tail's Great Fairy Magic
"FAIRY SPHERE!"
With all the magic flooding into them, the sphere finally enclosed around Acnologia and Natsu, the Fairy Tail symbol brightly appearing on it.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!" Acnologia roared as he was trapped with Natsu who wasn't letting him go
"DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY! I SHALL DESTROY EVERYTHING!" Acnologia exclaimed as he snapped, going berserk due to all the events outside.
"That son of a…!" Laxus grunted.
"He's going berserk!" Cobra growled.
"MORE BLOOD! I YET LONG TO BATH IN THE BLOOD OF DRAGONS!" The dragon screamed as his aura caused the ravines of time to tremble.
"time to end this all!" Natsu roared out as he ran towards Acnologia with all of his magic focused into one point
"UUAAAAAARAGH!" Acnologia was going to bring his arm forward but…his body stiffened. He couldn't move a muscle. "What?! My body…won't move!?".
Natsu saw the opening as he began to charge forward with a battle cry, rearing his arm backwards. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
"Salamander!"
"Take everything we've got…!"
"And slam him with it!"
"You're the only one who can!"
"We're counting on you!"
"It's up to you!"
"Natsu-san!"
They all roared out as Natsu's flames raged even more
"this is the end! ACNOLOGIA!" Natsu roared out as he saw memories of his friends and family shattering one by one as every single one disappeared for the cost of his own power
Acnologia tried to defend with his left arm only to remember the limb being ripped off by Igneel.
As soon as he had this realization, his eyes widened and he grit his teeth in fear and anxiety.
"ENMARYU NO HOKEN!"
Natsu swings a giant flaming punch straight at Acnologia causing a direct attack upon the black dragon of chaos
"Gaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Acnologia let out a cry of pain as his body was burned away.
"…I want more….more blood…more destruction….more tears…I will…destroy all…I will…grasp everything…in my hands…I will…have everything…"
"everything won't ever be yours" Natsu's words struck a certain chord in Acnologia.
"treasure them…..all I need is my family and friends…..i don't need everything" Natsu said
Acnologia stared at Natsu and the others, wide-eyed, yet understanding of what he said.
There was a soft smile on Acnologia's face as his body disintegrated and he came to peace with his defeat.
"I see…you are…worthy of the title, 'King'…" Those were Acnologia's final words.
"King? I am no king" Natsu said as he sees the memories of Ultear cracking slowly before it shattered into pieces "I am just…..Natsu….."
From within the Fairy Sphere, Acnologia's body disintegrated into nothing.
Natsu also started to disappear as he nodded to everyone before completely vanishing
"He…exploded!?" Erza exclaimed while blinking several times.
"Did Fairy Sphere really have that kind of power…?" Juvia blinked.
"No…this…" Gray held a slight grin.
"they did it!" Meredy cheered
"Yeah." Lucy wiped the tear from her eyes. "Natsu and the other dragon slayers…they won!"
They won.
They defeated Acnologia.
The battle was over, met with a roaring cheer and exhales from those who fought so valiantly. Hargeon was immediately filled with celebration and relief. The fighting was over. Everyone in Fiore could finally relax as the war with Alvarez was now over, and Acnologia was no more.
Everyone cheered for their return and their victory upon Acnologia
"it's all over" Lucy said with a smile
"yeah, it has" Gray said as he holds Juvia by his side
"look!" Max shouted as the sky suddenly cracked again as the Dragon Slayers fell out of the hole in the sky and towards their friends
"Natsu? Where's Natsu?" Ultear looks around and saw everyone but not Natsu
"he's not here?" Gray looks around and saw no sign of the man
"Papa! Where are you?!" Aya called out to her father as he was nowhere
Everyone started to look around the place but they couldn't find him anywhere
"woof!" Shina started to bark as she was sniffing the ground with her children beside her
"what is it girl?" Gray said as Shina barked to them
Ultear sees the reaction as she gets on Shina's back and the wolf started running to Magnolia
"hey! Ultear!" Gray exclaimed as he, Meredy and Aya rides one of Shina's kids as they chased after her
"let's go!" Erza exclaimed as everyone rushed to see where Ultear was going
(Que ending music: Boku to Kimi no Lullaby)
(I don't own it!)
In the western forest of Magnolia. The forest where the Dragist's home resides
Natsu fell into the pond near his home as he floats in the water
North came running in as the wolf barks before running into the water
The wolf swims towards Natsu as he pushes Natsu to the shore
He got out of the water as North shakes all of his furs before sniffing Natsu then started to lick his face
North let out a sad whine as Natsu didn't respond
Ano hi egaiteta yume kara
Samete shimaisou na yoake da
Durya appeared as the Dryad looks sad to Natsu
"how foolish are you, old friend?" Durya asked as he holds Natsu and leans him to a tree
Mou ichido kagayaku mirai ga mitai deshou
Shinjita sono me de
Ultear and the others arrived and they saw Natsu with Durya and North as they rush towards him
"Natsu? Natsu!" Ultear called out to him as she shakes his shoulders
Natsu slowly opens his eyes as his eyes were void of nothing "who….who are you people?...who am i?"
He asked himself as he looks at them
"Natsu..hey stop joking around!" Gray exclaimed as he grabs a hold of Natsu's collar and lifts him up "this ain't funny!"
"stop" Durya told the Ice Wizard as he holds Gray's arm "he paid the cost to Vlad…he doesn't remember anyone nor his own identity. He no longer remembers"
Yureru hikari todaesou ni natta
Monogatari wa tomoshite yukou
Hitotsu zutsu
"that can't be true!" Meredy exclaimed as she holds Natsu's shoulder "Natsu! It's me, Meredy!"
"who? Natsu said as he was confused "who are you?"
"it's me! Meredy!" Meredy exclaimed "it's me! Ultear! Gray! Aya! It's us! Your family!"
Mou ikanai yo doko e mo
Kimi ga koko ni iru kagiri
"my…family?" Natsu muttered out as he looks at them but he didn't know them "I don't…..remember…"
"please! Please remember us!" Meredy look in tears to him as her tears keep pouring down "please dad!"
Kogoesou na yoru no naka ni
Omoi wo komete asu wo negau
"I'm sorry…..i don't know…I don't remember anything….." Natsu said with a sad look
Gray holds Meredy as he pulled her away and she started crying to him
"papa" Aya called out to Natsu as the man looks to her
"papa…?" Natsu muttered out in confusion as Aya gave back his scarf
"this is Papa's scarf" Aya told him as Natsu looks to the scarf and touched it
"this feels nice….it feels warm" Natsu said with a small smile
Soon Erza and the others appeared as they saw the scene and stayed quiet
Kanashimi de oboresou nara
Yorokobi de fune wo tsukurou
"this is Papa's scarf….Papa said that Grandpa Igneel gave it to you" Aya said while tearing up
"really?" Natsu said as he holds the scarf in his hands
Ultear holds the scarf as she wraps it around his neck
"thank you…..it's so warm…." Natsu said as he touched the scarf
Aya cried as she went to Gray and cried on his pants
Ureite kyou ga owarunara
Me wo tojite ashita, mata hirakeba ii
Ur gritted her teeth before she pulls up her sleeve and went to Natsu
"maybe a good knock on the head will jog your memories!" Ur shouted as she readied to clobber Natsu's head
"no" Gray said as he shook his head to his teacher "just…don't"
Ur looks down as her tears started to swell up
Doko ni ite mo yume no tsuzuki datte
Kizukeru you ni utai tsuzukeyou
Kono uta wo
Ultear takes out her pendant and gave it to Natsu
"do you not remember this?" Ultear asked as she opens the pendant and showed the picture to Natsu "this is us….we're a family"
"a family…?" Natsu looks to the picture as he sees himself, Ultear, Ur, Meredy and Aya, one big and happy family
"don't you remember?" Ultear asked in tears as Natsu just shook his head
Modoranai yo kinou ni wa
Kinou no bokura ni warui darou?
"i…don't know" Natsu muttered out as Ultear's tears drip to the ground
Ultear then hugged Natsu who was surprised from the hug as Ultear cried onto him
Durya looks sadly to his friend as he touched the tree as sparkles started to rain down
Owari yori hajimari ni
Omoi wo komete
"it's pretty" Natsu said as everyone watch the sparkles
"it's okay…..we'll tell you who you are" Ultear said as she separated from the hug "I'm Ultear, your wife"
She then started to look to Gray and the others as she started to introduce them to him
"that's Gray, your best friend, Ur, our mother, Meredy, our daughter and Aya, our little girl" Ultear said in tears
Kimi ni utau rarabai
Bokura no yume ga samenai you ni
"my family…." Natsu muttered out with a smile "I have a family…"
"yes, you do" Ultear said in tears as her tears drip to Natsu's bracelet as it glowed
Kanaetai janai ka
Naite waratte norikoete
Sekai ni hitotsu dake no bokura no yume wo
Natsu's eyes glowed as they returned back to normal
"Ul….tear" Natsu muttered out as Ultear looks to him who was smiling "I remember you…."
Ultear's eyes widen as she smiled in joy, Natsu smiled back before he turns to look to Meredy
"you called me…Dad" Natsu said with a light chuckle "you haven't called me that since Aya turned five"
"s-shut up!" Meredy retorted as she was wiping away her tears
Natsu smiled before he looks to where Lyon was
"I'm leaving her to you, Lyon" Natsu said "protect and take care of her with your life"
Lyon heard his words as he nodded to him
Natsu then turned to Gray as he lifted up his fist to him
Gray saw the action and bumps his fist with him
Ano hi egaiteta yume nara
Kawaranai basho ni arunda
"take care of my family for me, Gray" Natsu said with a smile "take care of them…"
"I got it" Gray replied as he gave back Natsu's wedding ring
Mou ikanai yo doko e mo
Boku wa koko ni iru kara
Natsu looks to Ur as he gives her a small smirk
"don't get cranky when you grow old, Ur-san" Natsu said to Ur who grinned in tears
"I'm still in my 30's, dumb son in law!" Ur said as Natsu turned his attention to his little girl
Sou ikeru darou doko demo
Bokura ga yume wo miru kagiri
"Aya…..my little girl" Natsu called out as Aya went to him
Natsu pulled her into a hug as he gives her the biggest hug, he could ever give her
"be nice to everyone….don't forget to eat healthy….always follow your mother's advices….and don't date weak guys" Natsu said as he gives Aya a kiss to her forehead
Kogoesou na yoru da to shite mo
Nemureru you ni
Natsu takes off his scarf and he wrapped it around Aya "it's warm, isn't it?" Natsu asked Aya who nodded
Natsu gave her his ring as he place it in her hands "take care of it…..it's going to be your lucky charm"
Aya nodded before she hugs her father as Natsu hugs her back with all the love, he has in him
Zutto rarabai
Boku to kimi no rarabai
Samenai you ni
After giving his daughter, the biggest hug, Natsu turns to look at Ultear who was in tears
Natsu cups her cheeks as Ultear holds his hands "Ultear…..i love you"
He leans in and gives her a kiss as his body glowed golden
Samenai you ni
They lean away as Natsu started to sparkle and his body was disappearing into glowing particles
"I love you….Natsu" Ultear said as her tears were overflowing
Natsu nodded as the scar on his eye disappeared
"take care…..Ultear…everyone" Natsu spoke one last time as he disappeared forever
Goodbye…my family
The sparkles flies to the sky as everyone cried in tears as Natsu disappeared forever
Ultear looks to the sky as one small sparkle fall in her hands and it disappeared only to leave a small seed
Her tears drip to the seed as she fell down to her knees and her sadness overtook her
Ur went to Ultear as both cried together with everyone as Natsu Dragist, passed away
