On with the story
The final battle against Acnologia was going to begin.
The dragon slayers present were the only thing stopping Acnologia from achieving harmony.
"LET'S GO!" Natsu roared while leading the charge as he summons Enryuo no Kiba to his side
"All ability increase enchant! Deus Eques!" Wendy and Irene chanted out as they give them all a power up
"Whoa, this is awesome!" Sting said with a grin.
"I'm overflowing with power!" Rogue added.
"Gihee!" Gajeel then leapt forward, allowing his arm to morph into an iron blade
"Tetsuryu ken!!" The tip of the sword stopped directly at Acnologia's chest, causing him to furrow his brows but it didn't appear as though it had any effect as Acnologia stood there, unmoving with a smile on his face.
"What!?" Gajeel said with a surprise look before Sting and Rogue jumped forward, taking advantage of Gajeel's close range.
However, before the Twin Dragons could get any closer, Acnologia simply swiped his hand forward and a shockwave blew away the trio. "Gaaaah!"
As soon as Sting, Rogue, and Gajeel were thrown back, Laxus and Cobra were the next two to strike. Purple poison formed on Cobra's claw as he intended to close the distance between them.
"Dokuryu no!
"Rairyu no!
Laxus followed suit, lighting surging around his fists. However, the two of them couldn't even get close. Acnologia simply pointed his hand forward, blowing the two of them back past Natsu.
"Laxus! Cobra!" Natsu looked back.
""I can't hear the voice of his heart…?!"" Cobra thought in shock
"NATSU!" Irene warned as the man raise his sword up and barely managed to fend off a gigantic blast from Acnologia.
"Ngh…!" He blocked it, but his sword had a crack appearing on it.
"Do you know why I am I called the Dragon King?" Acnologia questioned as the tip of his finger.
"the answer's obvious. When it comes to strength, I'm number one"
Natsu dashed towards Acnologia and slashed Enryuo no Kiba at him but all of his attacks were parried off with just a finger from Acnologia
"you were the one I hopefully thought to be a challenge" Acnologia said as he caught Enryuo no Kiba's blade in his fingers and as he did the crack on the sword started to spread
"how disappointed you made me, END"
Enryuo no Kiba's blade shattered into pieces as Natsu's eyes widen in shock
"no magic nor weapons can bring harm upon me!" Acnologia said with a grin
With everyone
They were all in the race against time as Natsu's and Acnologia's battle still rages on as they destroyed countless buildings in their battle
They were all following Anna's plan, and that was to use one of Fairy Tail's Great Three Magic Spell and that was Fairy Sphere
"this way!" Erza exclaimed as they were heading towards Hargeon where they will use Fairy Sphere to seal away the Black Dragon in it
"duck!" Elfman shouted as a fireball came flying over them and nearly burned them to crisp
"I hope this plan works!" Gray said as they were nearly there to Hargeon
""please win, Natsu"" Erza thought as she prayed for her husband
Back to the dimension between time
Wendy and the others were nearly defeated as they were on the ground and not moving
Only Natsu was left standing as the man uses his broken sword to keep him steady
"it seems this is where it ends" Acnologia said with a smirk "for all you dragons"
"I will not allow even one dragon to live!"
"Kuku…" Natsu laughed. "Hahahahaha….ahhh…" With heavy breaths, the Salamander slowly forced himself to his feet. "But you're a dragon too, aren't ya? Pretty funny joke there, if ya ask me. As long as you exist, there'll still be a single dragon alive, kukuku…"
"…. What kind of logic is that?" Acnologia scowled at those words.
"Besides, we're humans. The dragons gave us power, but we're still humans. Quit the narcissism, idiot…" Natsu said while making his way to his feet. "Real dragons, you see…are strong and noble…" His mind flashed to the dragons that raised everyone. "And kind."
"Kind? A dragon?" This is what truly made Acnologia upset.
"The dragons that stole everything from me, are kind? They devoured my family, ruined my city, and killed even the little children!? How in the world could those dragons have ever been kind!? NONSENSE!"As he screamed this, a powerful eruption occurred from his body with the intent of blowing Natsu away and finishing him off.
"I told you…" Natsu continued on as his grin wasn't leaving him
"Real dragons. Dragons come in different types, just like us humans. Likeable ones, and terrible ones; strong ones and weak ones; bad ones, and kind ones…" Flames ignited around Natsu once more.
"And ones that defeat you. You're mad at the evil dragons for taking away everything that was yours, and right now, you're no better. You've become exactly what you swore to destroy! And you know what we are!?"
"My attacks!? Why…" Acnologia was stunned before he notices Wendy's body was giving off a glow and so was the rest
"I'LL ENCHANT ALL OUR POWER INTO YOU, NATSU-SAN!" The body of every dragon slayer was glowing as Wendy's voice rose to a rare, determined scream.
"Go, Natsu!" Laxus shouted.
"I know we can trust you to finish this off!" Gajeel yelled.
"We're counting on you, Natsu-san!" Sting exclaimed.
"Our magic power…" Rogue trailed off.
"We'll give all of it!" Cobra finished.
"Let's end it…" Irene said with a small smirk.
"yeah!" Natsu said as the flames coated him and Enryuo no Yoroi with Reiter no Yoroi appeared beside him
"I'll put all your strength into my flames!" Natsu shouted out as both armor burst into flames and fused into one
As the flames died down and revealed Natsu wearing his fused armor but the armors didn't form END no Yoroi rather a pure fusion of two great powers
"Ryuo no Yoroi!"
Natsu lifted up the broken sword of Enryuo no Kiba as the broken sword regenerated and burst into flames
"this is the power!" Natsu shouted as the flaming sword blazes around like wild fire "of eight Fire Dragons!"
With Erza
Everyone has gathered around in Hargeon as they managed to lure Acnologia into the ocean with Natsu as the Fire Dragon was holding the Black Dragon back from attacking anyone
"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.
"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!" Lisanna yelled out
Lucy held her hands together.
"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
With Natsu
"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.
"I can't end this…not on my own…" Natsu admitted.
"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!"
"Natsu!"
"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!"
As all the other dragon slayers cried for Natsu to end this, he had no choice but to fulfill that promise.
"LEAVE IT ALL TO ME! LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH!" Natsu exclaimed as the flames around his blade rages in flames
"THIS IS THE END!"
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.
"Shin! Metsuryu Ougi!" Natsu shouted out as the flames on his sword rages even more
"Kurenai! Hooken!"
Natsu swings the flaming sword upon 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…"
"There's no way you can fit everything in your hands alone." Natsu's words struck a certain chord in Acnologia.
"That's why you've gotta treasure the things you do have. Don't get greedy. All I need are my friends and my family. 'Slong as I have them, I don't need anything else."
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?" Natsu held a slight grin on his face. "Thanks, but no thanks."
With Erza
From within the Fairy Sphere, Acnologia's body disintegrated into nothing.
"good job" Natsu said as he fades away into the air
"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!" Rose and Mary 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.
The sky suddenly cracked again as the Dragon Slayers fell out of the hole in the sky and towards their friends
Everyone cheered for their return and their victory upon Acnologia
"it's all over" Lucy said with a smile
"yeah, it has" Gray said with a smirk with Juvia nodding with a smile
"so annoying, you all" a dark and deep voice spoke as everyone felt fear rising in their hearts
They slowly turned around and spotted Natsu but he was not him as the man had black markings appearing on his face
"you got what you all wanted, now I can leave this shitting place"
It was END and he was still in this world even after his brother disappeared with Mavis
"END!" Gray shouted as he gritted his teeth towards the Etherious
"cool it, Gray. Now that I don't have a reason to be here anymore, what's the purpose of me sticking around"
END turns around and started to walk away from the area only to stop by Erza who stood in front of him
"and just where do you think you're going?" Erza told him while crossing her arms in front of her chest
"Alvarez, what? You want to come with me this time?" END said with a smirk before getting a slap to the face by Erza
"and just when tomorrow is our 27th Anniversary? You're not going anywhere, Natsu" Erza told the man with a firm look
"huh? You think you can boss me around" END told the woman before he sees her lifting up her right arm as the Dragon brand glowed red
"I can because I'm your wife" Erza told him as she summons Enryuo no Kiba and slashed at Natsu in the middle as the Etherious glowed red before flashing
"huh!? What the!?" END shouted before he got split into half as two Natsus came dropping to the ground
"what!?" END said as he saw another him beside him
"what…." Natsu said as he clenched his fists before looking to Erza "did you do to us?"
one looks like the ordinary Natsu but the other looks to have demonic appearances
"completing Igneel's last request, he gave to me" Erza replied to them
Flashback
Erza stood in front of Igneel in her heart as the Dragon looks upon her
"there are two seeds in Natsu's body, the Dragon Seed and the Devil Seed." Igneel started to explain to her
"these two seeds are merging into one as we speak, and if they do. Natsu will die from the fusion of two opposite individuals"
"my request to you is that you must separate both seeds before it's too late"
"but how?"Erza asked the Dragon who smiled in response
"you already know the answer, do you not?" Igneel asked her as Erza pondered her thoughts for a moment before nodding to him
Flashback ends
"the power Igneel left behind for me wasn't to defeat you" Erza said as the Dragon Brand on her right forearm was disappearing forever "it was to save you, the both of you"
"he….told you that?" Natsu said as he looks to his hands and clenched them a few times "i…..have a body now?"
Erza smiled before she embraces her husband
"welcome home…Natsu" Erza told Natsu as she hugs him tight
Natsu looks to her before returning the hug as he holds her and doesn't want to let go of her anymore
Everyone cheered while END looks to them before walking away as the Etherious disappears into thin air
"let's go home" Natsu said as Erza nodded and both looks towards the direction of Fairy Tail
"to Fairy Tail"
That's a wrap!
