"Natsu," Erza said, shocked. It took Erza to completely process what happened. "Natsu, but why,"

"Erza, it seems you're having trouble with someone like him," Natsu told her.

Erza was surprised, she had a small blush and smile "Yeah, sorry,"

"Hmm," Natsu scoffed and jumped down, and walked towards her.

"Natsu, I thought you were working with Orochimaru," Erza asked him.

Natsu's eyes narrowed "He was merely a means to an end, and he'd outlived his usefulness to me, and after 7 years, he showed me that he is worst than Zeref,"

"Natsu," Erza said, a little stunned, but she was happy he was here.

Orochimaru smirked "I'm not surprised by your betrayal Natsu-kun, I'm just stunned it took you 7 long years to finally go through with it,"

"Hmm, I merely waited so long to see what you had planned, to think it was to orchestrate a dragon attack, and for that." Natsu responded, his Sharingan activating "I will kill you here,"

"Hmm, you are the same and different from him," Orochimaru said. "You are much more heartless than Sasuke-kun,"

Natsu's eyes narrowed "I am heartless when I need to be, and those zealots deserved their fate,"

"Hehehe," Orochimaru snickered. "Well I guess it is time to finally test the extent of your power," his power then started to increase. "SHOW ME YOUR POWER, LAST UCHIHA!"

"Damn it, these things just keep coming," Gray shouted as he beat another Dragonoid.

"One goes down, another comes back up," Juvia agreed.

Gray turned and his eyes widened "JUVIA!"

Juvia turned and saw two Dragonoid about to attack her, she froze and couldn't move, Gray was about to jump and save her, but the Dragonoid was hit by a large ice spike.

"Huh," Both Gray and Juvia blinked.

They turned and saw Hitomi standing on top of a destroyed building, looking down on them.

"That's Hydra's Hitomi," Juvia said.

"Why is he here?" Gray questioned. "If he's here helping then that does that mean,"

"Hydra Fang is on our side," Juvia finished.

Millianna was knocked into a wall by a Dragonoid. As the Dragonoid was about to finish her off, however, the creature was cut in two.

"Huh," Millianna looked up and saw it was Kagura who saved her.

"Are you alright," Kagura asked, and Millianna nodded "Good now go out there and fight," she then charged cutting down more creatures?

"Um, yes ma'am," Millianna nodded and continued to fight.

SKY DEVIL RAGE

Sora blasts a hoard of Dragonoids away with his breath attack, while Juzo tackled through an entire brigade of them.

Sora smirked "Heh, these things are just small fries. This will be a piece of cake,"

Juzo was just silent as he crushed another one of the creatures.

...

Erza stood up and dusted herself off "Natsu, the only way to defeat him is to…"

Erza didn't get to finish talking as Natsu charged at Orochimaru "Oi, Natsu," but she had a small smile "he's the same as always,"

Natsu appeared in front of Orochimaru, and he attempted to kick the snake man, but the shinobi blocked it with his arm. Natsu spun mid-air, and he then kicked him to the ground. Orochimaru then summoned snakes that wrapped themselves around Natsu,

"NATSU!" Erza shouted charging in.

Erza slashed at Orochimaru but he blocked it with his Kusanagi. Erza then requiped a second blade and used that to attack Orochimaru but the man quickly jumped back.

Natsu's eyes narrowed, as he cut his way through the snakes, freeing himself. He stood up and Erza landed next to him.

"What a troublesome guy," Erza said in frustration.

Natsu didn't say anything, he simply brushed the dirt off his shoulder.

Orochimaru smirked "you two are quite impressive, but it will take more than that to beat me,"

Natsu's eyes narrowed "you're too full of yourself, Orochimaru,"

Orochimaru smirked "And why wouldn't I be, the shinobi I faced thousands of years ago were a thousand times stronger than the mages of today, you two only being the exception,"

Erza glared "It doesn't matter how long you lived, you will fall here,"

"Every generation is always so cocky," Orochimaru smirked. "I will not lose, especially not against a novice Jinchuriki, and a nursling Uchiha,"

"And yet nurslings and novices are the only things you can handle," Natsu mocked.

"Huh," Orochimaru twitched.

"When we first met, you came after me because you saw I had untapped Uchiha blood in me," Natsu told him. "And with that, you thought you could control me by giving me this curse mark as you did with the last Uchiha, and yet it didn't work out did it,"

"Eh, what do you mean," Erza said, a bit stunned by Natsu's words.

"Despite all the experiments you've done, and even achieving immortality. You are still nothing compared to the power of the Sharingan," Natsu told Orochimaru.

Orochimaru was silent but he smirked "Yes, what you said may be true. Despite me achieving immortality I never once found a way to defeat a Sharingan user, but defeating someone like that would be child's play, even if you have the Sharingan," Orochimaru then launched himself at Natsu

Orochimaru attempted to kick Natsu, but the dragon slayer blocked the kick. Natsu then grabbed the snake man's leg and threw him at a building. Orochimaru smirked and landed unharmed, however, Erza then charged at him and began to attack him with her Benizakura.

Orochimaru smirked as he easily dodged and deflected Erza's attack. He just cackled at her weak attempts to hit him. "Pathetic," he smirked, but then suddenly Natsu came from behind and kicked him into another building.

Orochimaru glared at the dragon slayer annoyed "You impudent brat,"

"Natsu, the best way to beat him is together," Erza told him.

Natsu scoffed "do what you want, just don't get in my way,"

Happy and Lucy flew through the city flying over the fighting.

"I hope everyone is okay," Lucy worried.

"Don't worry, Lucy, I'm sure everyone is fine," Happy reassured.

"Happy," Lucy looked down.

"Huh," Happy responded.

"Do you think he was telling the truth," Lucy asked.

Flashback

"Lucy, Happy," a voice called.

Lucy and Happy looked up in shock "NATSU!" they both said.

Natsu then jumped down, and both Lucy and Happy were confused.

"Natsu, what are you doing here," Lucy asked.

"I'm here to pass information," Natsu simply said.

"Information," Happy raised an eyebrow.

Natsu nodded "Yes, it's the only way to stop this chaos,"

"But this was caused by Orochimaru, I thought you worked for him," Lucy asked.

"My reasonings are my own, now do you want to stop this madness or not," Natsu said to her.

Lucy thought for a minute and nodded.

"Good," Natsu said.

"Now the only way to stop this madness is to destroy the Eclipse gate,"

Flashback over

"Does destroying the Eclipse Gate really stop all of this," Lucy asked.

"I'm sure it does Lucy," Happy said.

"How can you be so sure," Lucy asked the cat.

"Because it was Natsu who told us," Happy smirked "And he doesn't lie,"

Lucy was a little stunned but she smiled thinking back to her memories with Natsu "Yeah you're right, let's go,"

"Aye. Sir," Happy speed off towards the gate.

...

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed at the two mages standing before him. Natsu and Erza glared at him as well, the two then vanished and both attempted to attack Orochimaru on both sides. Orochimaru though blocked their attack.

"Is that it," Orochimaru smirked.

"Let's take him down Natsu," Erza smirked, powering up with a Kyuubi cloak.

Natsu activated his Sharingan and scoffed. Natsu then released a wave of fire from his body forcing Orochimaru to fall back.

It was then both Natsu and Erza charged at Orochimaru again both attacking from both sides again. Orochimaru blocked a few attacks, but both mages got some good hits in. Orochimaru then unleashed his own fury of attacks. Natsu and Erza narrowingly dodged each of his blows.

Orochimaru then using a powerful wind style jutsu forced Natsu and Erza back. Orochimaru then formed several hand signs and summoned two giant snakes. Erza then jumped towards the snakes and easily slashed them down. Erza then charged at Orochimaru and began to slash at him once more.

Erza then slashed open his stomach but to her shock, hundreds of white snakes emerged and all attacked her, forcing the swordswoman back. Orochimaru then quickly repaired the damage and continued his assault.

"Hmm, is that all you got," Orochimaru smirked.

"Not even close," Erza glared.

Natsu then dashed towards Orochimaru faster than before shocking the snake man, he then punched Orochimaru in the gut.

"GAH!" Orochimaru coughed "what he was not this fast earlier,"

Natsu then elbowed Orochimaru and unleashed a combo of punches knocking him in the air. Natsu then kicked him straight in the jaw sending the snake man flying.

Orochimaru landed on the ground hard, but he picked himself and wiped his cheek "hmm, he's faster than before,"

Natsu then continued his assault on the snake man overpowering him with his hand-to-hand combat skills.

Orochimaru could only smirk "he is rather impressive, but," Orochimaru seeing an opening attempted to attack Natsu, but the fire mage in a swift motion severed both of Orochimaru's arms.

"GAH!" Orochimaru screamed.

Natsu then slashed Orochimaru and knocked him in the air again and slammed him back to the ground.

Orochimaru coughed "how is this possible,

Erza then equipped into her Heaven's Wheel Armor, and Natsu slid back next to her, he then formed hand signs.

KATON: GOKAYU NO JUTSU

Natsu fired a large fireball at Orochimaru hitting the snake man directly. Orochimaru fell to his knees covered in burns.

"They're overwhelming me,"

Erza then fired a dozen swords at Orochimaru, and Natsu once again charged towards him. Orochimaru was hit by the blades and Natsu appeared behind him. Natsu then grabbed one of the swords and started to slash at Orochimaru.

Erza then requiped her Clear Heart and Benizakura and infused them with Kurama's chakra.

"Lets go Natsu," Erza said.

"Hmm," Natsu scoffed as he drew his chokuto infused with lightning chakra and dragon slaying magic.

Natsu and Erza from both sides with their blades slashed through Orochimaru, the man being burned and electrocuted from the attack. Orochimaru fell to his knees battered and bruised and he was coughing up blood.

"It's over Orochimaru," Natsu pointed his blade at him.

"You're beaten," Erza said.

Orochimaru looked up at the two and he saw the image of the two young hero shinobi, but he just smirked "Yes that seems to be the case,"

Natsu's eyes narrowed "You seem rather happy you're beaten,"

"Yes because when I die, I die at least knowing I'm right," Orochimaru said, hen clicked his tongue and in an instant, Orochimaru burst into blue flames shocking the two.

"Hahaha," Orochimaru laughed "Be warned Natsu Dragneel, Erza Scarlet. There are people far more dangerous than me out there. And when the time comes,"

"Your Destinies will be fulfilled,"

Natsu's eyes narrowed and Erza was in shock, as Orochimaru turned into ash.

"What does mean by that," Erza shivered.

Natsu just shrugged "who knows," he then sheath his blade "For now we have more pressing manners to deal with,"

Erza nodded and looked up at the sky "The dragons, but how do we get rid of them,"

"By destroying the gate," Natsu said.

"Huh," Erza raised an eyebrow.

"By destroying the Eclipse gate, then the dragons will all be sent to their original place in time," Natsu explained.

"I see, but destroying something like that will take a lot of power," Erza said.

"I know," Natsu nodded "and Lucy just gathering others is not going to do anything,"

"So, what do we do," Erza asked.

"Since it absorbs magic power we can't just attack it, we need throw something with enough force at it to destroy it, and I can't use Kirin too much so that won't work, we need something big to throw at it," Natsu said, and his eyes went towards the injured MotherGlare.

Erza then had a lightbulb moment "Yes, that could work by having one of the dragon's ram into it, with enough force it should be enough, but how are you going to do it"

"I have something in mind, for now, go help the others. There's somewhere I need to be," Natsu then dashed away.

"Oi," Erza signed but smiled "He's the same as always,"

Erza then dashed off to go help the others in the battle.

Laxus, Thunder Legion, and Gamabunta both appeared to be exhausted fighting Atlas Flame.

"Damn it, this thing is too tough," Bickslow coughed.

"He tanks all our hits like they were nothing," Evergreen breathes heavily.

"Is this really the power of dragons," Freed coughed.

"Damn it," Laxus punched the ground.

Gamabunta then fell to his knees, "Damn I'm starting to run out of juice as well,"

"Atlas Flame,"

Natsu then appeared in front of the Thunder Legion.

"Natsu," Laxus said stunned. "What are you.."

"No time to talk, for now, let me handle this," Natsu stood in front of Atlas Flame.

Atlas Flames' eyes narrowed on Natsu "an Uchiha, what do you want,"

Natsu activated his Sharringan "this,"

Atlas Flame looked into his eyes and he had realization "I see then I will do as you command, son of Igneel," the dragon then flew up.

"What did you,"

"I just told him who I was, and he understood," Natsu interrupted, and it was then he vanished.

Erza met back up with the members of Team Natsu, and Gamatatsu fight out of Zirconis and the Dragonoids. After explaining what needs to happen to end the crisis and the team agreed to fight until Natsu did what needs to be done.

"Damn it these things just won't go down." Gray froze more.

"When's Natsu suppose to do his thing," Lucy cried.

"I don't know but," Erza stopped and she saw something in the distance.

It was then in an instance at high speeds Atlas Flame rammed into Zirconis the two dragons crashing through the large gate destroying it. Once the gate was destroyed all the dragons started to glow a golden light.

"What the hell," Gray said.

"The gate was destroyed," Wendy said stunned.

"This dragon attacked the other," Lucy said shocked.

Erza smiled knowing who was responsible "Thank you Natsu,"

Natsu and Hydra Fang watched on as the dragons and the smaller Dragonoid's started to vanish.

"Let's go," Natsu ordered and his team nodded.

Sora signed "Okay, guess we're not going to a victory party,"

"How did you convince the fire dragon to do that," Kagura asked.

"He's an old family friend," Natsu simply answered.

Mavis silently watched the group of 5 leave the city, and she had the face of sorrow.

"Zeref,"

Hey sorry for the long wait, school and personal problems. Sorry for the rushed ending did not want to drag this arc out for too long and I do not like to drag things out. Anyway hoped you enjoy and I will see you next time.
