So this all seems horrible. And that includes me. I know I said I was back to finish my stories, I know I chickened out of the challenge and went back on my word so I won't pretend any more. Natsu Deathbringer and The Fraternity will not be finished so I figured the least I can do is tell you how they were going to end.

We'll start with Natsu Deathbringer.

So the current story has Natsu return to the guild after defeating the wizard retaliators. Natsu would go on a few small quests, train Wendy a bit and for the most part return to normal life.

Eventually Charla would remind him of the vision she had in which Natsu predicted his death. On this topic Natsu would begin his own training again, returning to hell to master his full power until the day comes where the guild go to the S Class Trials at Tenrou.

This would play out similar to the manga up until Acnologia attacks, stating that this would be the end for Natsu. The guild knowing full well that Natsu is the only one standing a chance agree to run to the ship and flee but end up returning before leaving the island. Natsu loses narrowly and Mavis locks the island in fairy sphere. However, as Natsu begins to regain his power, the abilities of Fairy Sphere are not enough to contain him completely. His magic is free to use and he continues to age, but at a slower rate. Over the 7 years Natsu and Mavis tweak his magic down to the characters that make up his magic circle and he emerges from the sphere with a perfect form of Chaos Dragon Slayer magic. With this 7 year of practice under his belt he wastes 0 time in hunting his old master, finding him and killing him.

On his death bed, with Acnologias magic at a complete 0, his body altering magic fails and sure enough Acnologia is Natsu. He had been using magic to change his appearance, the same way Natsu demonstrated to Erza in the first Chapter. Natsu has one solid mission which is to train his younger self to be stronger than he is, so that he may kill Zeref when the day comes. Acnologia also reveals to Natsu what he had already discovered, that being that time is the ultimate form of destruction, and that is exactly what chaos dragon slayer magic is, time dragon slayer magic. A discovery Natsu and Mavis already made during the 7 years.

Acnologia tells Natsu he must go back and train his younger self, the way Natsu had been trained to become even stronger. And if that Natsu cannot beat the current Natsu, then he must try to kill Zeref or go back and try again. Natsu declares that Acnologia is wrong. He agrees to go back and set a wizard on the path of becoming stronger. But not with hate, or anger. But by putting him in the hands of a caring father and letting the love of his friends bear his strength. For Natsu's time at Fairy Tail made him stronger than the years of training with Acnologia.

Acnologia, reflecting on himself apologises to Natsu and states that he is correct. He tells him that his best bet is Igneel, and to explain to him what Acnologia just explained to Natsu. Acnologia tells Natsu when are where he will find himself as a baby. And with that, Natsu kills himself, and leaves to tell Fairy Tail of his mission.

Erza takes it hard. The man she had let in and come to love was leaving again, this time for good. Erza demands that she be brought with him, to which Natsu declines. He leaves Fairy Tail and travels in time to his fateful day on a mountain years ago, where he made his mother once again give him up. But this time telling her when and where he will be. She cannot tell him that she is his mother, but that she is welcome to see him and make a friend.

Igneel understands completely what must be done, for the good of the world and agrees to train Natsu and send him to Fairy Tail when the time is right. And with that, Acnologia vanishes from the world, only showing up here and there to wreak havoc the way the chaos dragon always has done. He had to return at the correct times to interact with Fairy Tail at Tenrou, and to take Gildarts arm but aside from that he did as little as possible to keep his name alive for now. He did go back and forward to his own Fairy Tail from time to time, but only ever to spectate. Watch them grow and live the great lives they so deserved. Erza was wise to his visits and would meet him every now and again when she was sure it was safe.

This continued until Natsu the Fire Dragon Slayer finally surpassed Natsu the Chaos Dragon Slayer. And the story goes on as Fairy Tail intended.

The End
