Oh boy here we go, this will probably be bad but eh here we go
A world without Dragneels.
In a white abyss stretching on for what looks like forever with all that can be seen is a man in his mid-twenties give or take on the floor sprawled in every which way, the man is a lean muscular build with bright, very bright salmon (pink) hair, and is not other than Natsu Dragneel.
As he slowly opens his eyes, he looks around clutching his temple as begins to rub as if feeling a headache.
"Uhhhh Mavis what was that" One minute he is sat watching the stars falling asleep next he's… well he doesn't know.
"Am I dead?" he thinks a few seconds a very puzzled face on his face.
"I mean if so, it was about time" he thinks to himself, but after a few more seconds he concludes.
"Nah" he speaks out loud in a depressing tone which was more of a whimper if anything.
"Natsu Dragneel" a voice that of which would send a shiver down any normal person spine, but Natsu Dragneel wasn't a normal person hell he probably wasn't even sure if he was human in the first place.
He looks towards the place he had heard the voice, inwardly thanking his dragon senses, he sees a black figure walking slowly towards him the exact opposite of the white abyss he awoke from.
"Do you know who I am" the figure speaks in a demonic tone.
"An emo, a door-to-door salesman, gods forbid a Jehovah witness?" he says in an almost bored tone, while also leaking in some sarcasm.
"Very funny, but no you are currently in the presence of the great Ankhseram" now that got the Natsu's attention. Within less than a nanosecond, he was Infront of the god of death and slammed a fist into the Gods face the god was sent skidding back, not surprised that a mere mortal could push back one of the most powerful gods, as Natsu Dragneel was not any mere mortal, if anyone could kill the gods it would be the man, demon, dragon whatever you want to call this being, standing in front of him at this very moment
"You know a fight between us would result in dimensions being torn apart, realties crumbling, worlds collapsing, its best not to fight, wouldn't you agree" he extends his arms outwards showing he wasn't threatening Natsu.
"it's all your fault" his voice dripping with anger, his inner demon coming out slowly, Natsu wasn't listening
"My brother was cursed because of you, he suffered because of you, mavis suffered because of you, I SUFFERED BECAUSE OF YOU" He again jumps forwards igniting his fist with fire, this wasn't his dragon fire, this was the flames that signified the END of all, the flames of E.N.D, He lunges forward at the speed of light as he chants the words of his curse.
"EXTINCTION" as he collides with the God, it was as if reality shook, the shockwave that would put make the Etherion cannon shot 1000 times look like a stick of dynamite.
After the resulting explosion we see a very badly damaged God of Death looming over him was a Demonic dragon looking human Hybrid, the fires that were created by the explosion literally burning away reality leaving only black.
"That was everything you've done to my family; it doesn't matter how long it's been" but as Natsu finishes coming out of his form he's greeted with the god of death sitting idly on a small chair, perfectly fine, it would be amusing if Natsu wasn't seething with anger.
"This is my realm not even you can hurt me here, but I'm surprised you were able to burn away parts of it…worrying "he says in a bored tone his voice wavering towards the end to something almost akin to envy, he clicks his finger as he reforms the reality that is now known as the Abyss of Ankhseram.
"What do you want "Natsu asked, anger dripping from his voice, his knuckles well to frank if he were to tighten them anymore, they would be as white as the abyss he's currently standing in
"You're getting old, aren't you Natsu" Mirth evident in his voice, the god was mocking him, and he wasn't happy.
"Shut up" his demon side again becoming present, the god let out a bellowing laugh one that would make men shit themselves right there on the spot.
"What year is it back on earth land what x1678 your over 1000 year's old, that well not going to lie that's quite amusing" the god says while pretending to wipe a tear, because well gods cannot cry especially the God of death. He summoned Natsu a chair and beckoned him to sit down, Natsu reluctantly took he knew that was nowhere to go and nothing he could do…yet
"Well, who's fault is that huh" Natsu reply's his eye twitching while every vein in his body was bulging, But the truth was Natsu was old, even older than his late brother, and well it technically was his brothers' fault for making him immortal, he was tired he understood his brothers' pain, of wanting to die.
"Well technically it was that blondes fault back in x792, what was her name Lu-" a hand to his throat, lifting the god up like he was nothing, stopped him from completing his sentence, he moved his eyes down, the biggest mistake he ever made in his existence, the god had found the button he shouldn't have pressed and it was her name or even the mention of her, he stared into the eyes of something more powerful than he could comprehend, for the first time in his existence the god felt…fear? He couldn't explain it but all he knew was he was sorry, again something that was foreign to him.
"Don't mention her" Natsu was more than angry he could deal with the mention of his brother and this and that but her, that was over the line, that line albeit very thin
The god raised his hand as if to apologize as Natsu let him go, the god coughed into his hand, and began to speak once again "Enough of this, let me tell you of why I summoned you here, hmm is that good enough?". "God mortals" he said under a hushed breath.
Natsu glared, and there it was again this time 'worry?' the god questioned, the glare was so fierce the god thought he was being turned to dust,
"Go 'on "Natsu said with a hint of interest mixed in with a lot and I mean a lot of anger, What could a god want with him…actually a lot of things after he thought for a few more seconds.
"I'm sending you into a reality where you don't exist" The God explained as if it was a normal sentence, Natsu stared at the god as if he had grown a second head. If Natsu had a drink it would be everywhere…'Another reality?'
"What do you mean don't exist" he asked curiously.
"The timeline, well to be exact it all diverges in x321, your family never existed so no Zeref, to create machines that destroy and ruin lives…no offense" the God adds on the last bit in precaution not wanting another repeat of before.
"What else is different?" Now his interest was piqued, he had nothing else to do so what the hell what's the worst that could happen.
"Some people are in the wrong time since the eclipse gate never was built certain people are in the wrong time a minor problem in the grand aspect of things" he felt the glare this time, he had crossed the line once again.
"They are not minor" he again was angry something Natsu hadn't been in a long time but seemed to be happening a lot today, thinking of the Bluenete as a minor thing pissed him off, thinking made his eyes sting as he felt the tears begin to spring in his eyes, he quickly got rid of them.
"Okay, okay no need to be so touchy, touchy, mister big bad demon Dragneel" The god again apologised
"I need you to go there and find out what else has changed, I'll be sending you too…let me here, hmmm July 2nd x784". Pulling out paper from Mavis knows where.
'Luce' Natsu thinks to himself again reminiscing about the past long gone, this time the tears come, and he doesn't even realize.
Slowly realizing he's crying, he begins to slowly wipe away the tears as he looks at his hands... his bleeding hands his nails had dug in and he hadn't realized, the blood dripping into the white abyss like raindrops into a puddle, not even creating ripples. The god clicks his finger sealing the wound not wanting his dimension tainted with demon blood, or is it pity?
"What do I get?" he asks he wouldn't do this for free though.
"When you're finished, I'll…" the god pauses as if questioning himself "I'll kill you".
"I'll do it" no hesitation, he was not passing this up never in a well 1000 years.
"Good, now you best get going I suspect your final outing will be your best yet".
A large portal opens to the left of the god, he stands up and stands next to the portal, Natsu stands up and walks towards the portal both their chairs vanish, as he's about to step in the god put's his hand out, Natsu lets out a low growl a rare occurrence nowadays.
"Good luck Etherouis Natsu Dragneel" the amusement in his voice clearly prodding for a reaction, Natsu couldn't give a rat's ass, he was thinking of how easy this was going to get this over with and finally hit the big one, after so many years.
How wrong he was.
