On with the story
Natsu stands within a void of darkness as he was alone before 9 orbs appeared and circle around him
"one has been obtained, yet two were stolen. Now only ten remains hidden" a voice spoke as the Demon Natsu appeared and floated near Natsu
Natsu stayed silent as he watches the orbs circle around him. Each orb glowed as silhouettes of weapons appeared within the orbs
"that foe of yours was able to defeat you single handily and take possession of one of the keys from you… her existence might create a hindrance in the future" Demon Natsu spoke as he stands behind Natsu
All the orbs slowly disappeared as Natsu raises his hand up
"if she is not dealt with, the Ryubusous shall be taken one by one and the seal will be broken," the Demon Natsu looks to Natsu as the man was looking at his hand till now "she is not who she is seems to be, and you know that"
The darkness disappeared as Natsu was transported into a land on fire, the sky was black and the land was in chaos
"Dragnof fell and the thousands of lives were lost"Demon Natsu spoke as Natsu looks ahead and sees himself kneeling down near a black haired woman who had blood covering her whole body "and that of hers"
Natsu looks to the woman as a single tear drop fell from his eyes
"a life that is taken cannot be given back, that is the law of your world"
The field disappears as the darkness surrounds Natsu, yet again
"what action shall you take? How many sacrifices would you take to ensure victory? How shall you dispose those who dare hinder your mission?" Demon Natsu asked Natsu
Natsu stood in his place as Enryuo no Kiba appeared in flames. He wielded the sword as its blade ignites in flames
"I will burn it all in flames" Natsu said as the right side of his flames was covered in flames and a dark silhouette appeared in the form of a dragon
The flames burn the darkness as the Demon Natsu smirks before disappearing
Natsu wakes up as the first thing he sees is Irene who looks worried
"you're awake" Irene said with a glad smile as Natsu sat up and looks to see that his chest was bandaged up "I thought that her attack was too strong and-"
"why are you here?" Natsu cuts her off as he looks to her "why did you follow me, Irene?"
"why? It's because I'm worried. I'm worried that you might get into danger" Irene told him as Natsu stands back up and rips off the bandage around his chest
"go back to your guild" Natsu told her as flames surround his body and he was now wearing a black open vest "all of you"
"Natsu..you can't do this alone" Irene said while standing up
"I can" Natsu replied "none of you knows the danger, the real danger that is coming to the world"
"what do you mean?" Irene said as Natsu walks towards the giant Hydra who rested its long body in a coil while the eight heads watches Natsu
"the Bringer of Destruction, the Death of all Life; will be released from the seal and bring havoc to the world, we know" Natsu said as he patted one of the Hydra's head "if you still intend on following me on my journey, then I won't interfere but hinder my path and I see to it that none will be granted mercy"
Natsu's eyes turned dark as he looks to Irene and the others "even if it's you, Irene"
Irene looks to Natsu as the man walks towards the cave's exit
"Hyrus, guard this domain till I return" Natsu ordered the Hydra as it hisses before slithering away
"what happened to you?" Irene looks at Natsu's back as the man's aura felt so lonely
As Natsu exited the cave, he walks in the passage way while passing by the markings on the wall
"having them around will just hinder you, it's best if you prevent them from ever following you" Demon Natsu spoke as he appeared behind Natsu and floated in the air
Natsu didn't reply as he just keeps on walking in the passage
Demon Natsu looks at Natsu before floating in front of him
"if you let them join you on your journey, the past will repeat itself" he spoke as Natsu looks to the wall and looks at a drawing of a human and was holding a shield "their lives will be taken away by the wretched monster"
Natsu looks at the drawing before he punches it as the wall was instantly destroyed
"no" Natsu muttered out as red scales spread around his face "I will never let it happen….not ever. No one is going to die"
Demon Natsu scoffs as Natsu pass by him "may it be, but you failed to do so once. Heed my word as the past will repeat itself and you will suffer pure regret in your life"
He slowly disappears as the red scales around Natsu's face slowly disappeared as the man clenches his fists tight
After leaving the cave, and the hidden passage
Natsu was journeying through the mountain as the man was hiking up the mountain
He grabs a piece of rock that is stuck on the wall and pulls himself up
He repeated the same actions again and again before he reached to the top of the mountain where there was a large yet gigantic cave waiting for him
Natsu walks to the cave before he turns around behind him and sees no one
"seems like your friends won't be coming" Demon Natsu appeared as the figure floated in the air
"they're not my friends" Natsu told the astral spirit before Natsu turns and walks into the cave
Unknown to him, Irene and the others were floating in the air as they watched Natsu from a far as he entered the cave
"let's go" Irene said as Erza and Kagura nodded
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
