Howdy, fairy tail fans, and here it is the last chapter for today until tomorrow, where I will upload the final two. in case you were wondering, I'm totally writing on overdrive right now, so I apologize for any spelling errors that will probably see in this chapter. In any case, time for the best part of this arc, Natsu vs. Zero, and with a few surprises in store for us as well.
Last time on a fairy tail re-told
Lucy: the trimens Lyon and Sherry used the last of their magic energy to stop Nirvana from firing
Natsu: and now we gotta take out the legs to permanently put the brakes on this thing
Happy: Aye sir
Natsu and their friends have found themselves in the middle of an epic battle to stop the dark guild oracion seis from getting their hands on ancient and powerful magic called Nirvana, with the power to swap light and darkness. and now they, along with the allied forces, are in a race against the clock to stop the devasting weapon once and for all
In the chamber of Lacima, one Zero smiled as Jella stood over them "so I take it your memory had returned, " Zero asked the man before him who lowered his hand, his gaze never leaving that of Natsu.
"Yes"
Dragon force
In lacrima number two, Gray had finally made it to the center "damn," he managed out, "it felt like the hallway was never-ending " looking around, Gray let out a sigh of relief "no sign of master Zero," Gray said, "about time I catch a break" he said to himself, "but that means someone else is fighting that lunatic."
{##Jellal theme##]
back in Lacrima number one, Natsu and Jellal stared at each other countless emotions were going through the dragon slayer's head, anger, confusing sorrow. He remembers all that Jellal did, and it made him angry "you shouldn't have come here," Natsu told him. "Jellal," he shouted as he ran to the man
"stop," Jellal told him as he shot another blast of fire that Natsu shot absorbed.
"you forget fire doesn't work on me," Natsu shouted.
"yes, I did," Jellal admitted, "but thankfully I remembered just in time," he told him making Natsu stopped "only you can defeat Zero," Jellal said, shocking them both "correct me if I'm wrong," he said, " but thanks to your magic doesn't the power of fire amplify your strength," Jellal asked
stopping, Natsu looked around him, "yeah, but, why."
"liar," Zero said, "judging on what you're saying, your memories have not returned," Zero said, cutting Natsu off.
"I didn't lie," Jellal said "only my memories of Natsu have returned," he said. "I am determined to stop Nirvana," Jellal told Zero, who had started facing him, "if the rest of my memory comes back, it will not affect my goal," Jellal told Zero, who shook his head.
"but what happened to you," Natsu asked.
"When I awoke," Jellal explained, " I had no memory of who I was," Jellal said. "I have no memory of how I acted, but it's apparent that I hurt you and Erza and the rest of your friends," Jellal said "please let me make amends, let me help you save Wendy's guild," Jellal asked Natsu who punched him.
"you liar!" Natsu shouted, "you're saying that you forgot everything," he told him, "stop pretending to be on our side, or you'll pay," he shouted as he Jellal stagged back he expected as much, it didn't take much to see that everyone in team fairy tail cared for each other there bond was a sight to behold
"Please, Natsu," Jellal begged, "take the flames I gave you and move on" Natsu then picked up Jellal by the hem of his jacket.
"You may have forgotten," Natsu told him, "but I haven't," he said. "I'll never forget," Natsu told him, "the tears Erza shed," Natsu said, which caught Jellal's attention, "all because" Natsu kept going "all because of you."
"pathetic," Zero cut in, "if you are going to argue, must you do it in front of me" he then fired a dark Capriccio at the pair. Seeing this, Jellal broke free and jumped in front of Natsu, taking the blast shocking the dragon slayer.
[##Shukumei##]
Natsu stood back in shock as he thought of Simon, who did the same thing when Jellal had fired a powerful blast at him and Erza. As Jellal fell to the ground, Natsu had to ask, "why."
"go ahead and kill me," Jellal said, "if that's what you want," he said as he laid down. "I'm already battered and bruised," he told Natsu, "but first let me give you the power to beat Zero," Jellal told him as he created a golden fire, which made Natsu look in shock
"I've never seen such a golden flame"
meanwhile, in the hallway to lacrima number three, we find Lucy and Happy Lucy was using the wall for support as she made her way to the lacrima though she was able to get up she was no Natsu and Gray
"You wanna stop to take a break" Happy asked
"can't," Lucy managed out, "won't make it in time."
"I guess," happy said, "but you barely able to walk," he argued with the girl. "I'm worried about you," Happy admitted
"I'll be fine," Lucy said. "I may be slow, but I will get there," Lucy told her feline companion "besides, If I stop then," Lucy stopped herself she wasn't going to think like that; she was going to make it out of here "we can do this Happy," she told the cat who smiled.
"Aye, sir."
meanwhile in Ichyia was making similar progress as he slid along the floor "it's exhausting," he said," but it's the only way to get there in time," he said. "I am Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki," he muttered, "the ace of blue pegasus, I will not fail," he said; he thought of Hibiki Ren and Eve, his students, the people who looked up to him "Maaaan."
Erza had made it to lacrima number five. She frowned when she saw Zero was nowhere in sight. "I guess this means Zero is in lacrima number one," she reasoned with herself clutching her arm again. She smiled "good luck, Natsu."
In passage to lacrima number six, Carla flew over the rubble "are you sure about this," she asked, nodding, "yes," Wendy said. "I have to do this," Wendy told her, "it's my fault that all of this happened, so I'll be the one to make it right."
Flashback
earlier she and Jella were on their way to lacrima number six when Jella stopped "are you okay" Wendy asked as Jellal had turned around
"I'm sorry," he said, "but your magic gives access to healing magic right," Jellal asked, "do you think."
"Absolutely not," Carla said, "do you have any idea how many times she's had to use her power today," Caral told him in a huff. "I'm putting my foot down."
"it's okay, I understand," Jellal said
"you do."
"I can replenish Natus's energy myself," he revealed, which got a confused look from the girls. "I regained a memory," he said, "what makes this Natsu so special," he said, "he holds the power of hope," Jellal told them "he fights for others even when they don't deserve it."
"Yeah," Wendy said, the sparse part of her past coming up. "Natsu is great," Jellal leaned in.
"I sense that same power from you," Jellal said "do you think you could destroy Lacrima number six.
Wendy shook her head," I can't," she told him. "I'm nowhere near as good as Natsu is."
Jellal smiled "why must you doubt yourself," Jellal said, "take the air, no the heavens," he told her, "unleash the power that lies dormant within you," he said, encouraging the girl," once you find it," he told her "don't ever let it go."
hearing these words, Wendy nodded. "I'll try."
End Flashback
Wendy stood in front of the lacrima, "I need to unleash the dragon within me," she said "please, Grandeeny, if you can hear me lend me your power," she said, "give me the strength; to protect my home."
Wendy," Carla said, smiling
[##Tsubasa Aru mono##]
back in lacrima number on Natsu looked in awe at the flame in the palm of Jellals hand "this is the flame of rebuke," he told Natsu
"what's that" Natsu asked
"I'm not asking for forgiveness," Jellal told Natsu. "I just want to give you the strength to beat Zero," Jellal told Natsu, "because I believe in you," he said. "Erza trusts you more than anyone, and so I will as well," Jellal told Natsu; not knowing how to react, Natsu outreached his hand and accepted the flames which consumed him as they disappeared. Natsu stood in front of him, energy revied and ready to fight.
Natsu smiled as he wiped away the smoke surrounding him "now I got a fire in my belly," Natsu said as he walked towards Zero" you're not of the hook, Jellal," Natsu informed him "not yet," he said as Zero smiled.
"fool," he said, "any who consume the flames of rebuke take on the sins of their greatest enemy."
[##fairy tail main theme##]
"A couple of sins ain't going to scare me," Natsu told Zero "ever one in fairy tail has there shared," he told the man, "but the real sin," he said as he stopped his foot on the ground slamming into the concrete "is turning your back on someone, especially when they give you the power to fight evil" Natsu shouted as he threw himself at Zero again who managed to dodge landing on his hands Natsu kicked him then let out a powerful breath attack.
"It can't be," Zero said as he flew into the wall "of all these years," Zero said. "I never thought I'd live to meet a real-life dragon slayer," Zero smiled as Natsu landed on the ground, "and you even gained access to dragon force."
Meanwhile, in Lacrima number three Gray got ready to attack the lacrima as he started to regain some strength "this is going to be a tough one," he said to himself.
Lucy and Happy also made their way to the lacrima. "I can sense a strong magic power," Lucy asked, "do you feel it."
"Yeah," Happy said, "we must be getting close.
Ichyia pushed along to his "I caught a whiff of its perilous perfume," he said as he pushed forward.
"Natsu," Erza said the time drew near, "I have faith in you."
Wendy calmed down as she started to search for her power. "I can do this," Wendy said, "give me strength," she smiled as she thought to herself.
"Natsu"
"dragon force," Natsu asked, 'so this Zero guy knows about my magic' Natsu looked over himself "it feels as my power been double hell tripled," he said to himself.
"yes, my boy," Zero told him. "Dragon force is a final form of dragon slayer magic; you now match a full-powered Dragon," Zero said "however, your transformation is incomplete," Zero said, noticing how the scales on Natsu's body barely started forming. The fire that surrounded his body seemed to be trying to make something, "but you're still quite formidable, and your even not full strength, come let us test the limits of your new power."
"you sure about that," Natsu told him "he recognized this feeling 'so that's what that was in the tower of heaven' Natsu said to himself.
"yes"
"fine," Natsu shouted, "but I warned ya."
Lucy finally made it to lacrima number three when she collapsed on the ground out of complete exhaustion "come to Lucy," Happy called out, "we cant; stop now."
"I know," Lucy told him, "but I don't think I can make it," she admitted. "I'm completely out of magic energy," she said," but I can't stop; the oracion seis can't beat us."
Wendy let out another breath as "I have to do this," she said," my guild, for cait shelter" Wendy said," For Jellal, who taught me to believe in myself," she said again, "fro Natsu and all my new friends."
As Natsu and Zero clashed, Zero dodged and slammed Natsu into the ground destroying the floor beneath them "don't tell you've already lost dragonslayer," Zero called out as he jumped down.
Jellal looked where he sat. "Natsu," he whispered,
"yikes' Natsu said as he laid near a hole, "that was close. Standing up, he saw Zero coming in, letting his magic energy swirl around him as Zero landed "this is over," he told him.
"{Zero: slash}" he shouted as he struck at Natsu, who dodged then let out a fire dragon roar, which barely fazed him. The two traded blows as Zero was able to knock Natus down.
. Meanwhile, Ichya had finally made it to the lacrima number four. "I can't stop now," he said as he fell.
Natus had managed to get up as Zero attacked. He dodged and kicked him back, wiping away the blood. Natsu jumped up "{fire dragon: Iron fist}: he called out as he punched Zero back.
[##Seigi no Chikara##]
"three minutes left," Gray muttered.
"Natsu," Erza said. She was worried at this point. She hoped that he was okay.
Lucy and Happy stood in front of the lacrima, "so what are we going to do."
"I don't know," Lucy admitted. "I'll throw myself against it if I have to," Lucy told happy, "I will do what I have to do."
"we've always admired your determination, Lucy," two-voice called out; looking back, they saw it was Gemini. They stood behind the pair "we admire your resolve," Gemi.
"and we came to help," Mini finished.
"huh," Lucy, as Gemini turned into Lucy, shocking them both.
"When we copy, you take on more than your appearance, but your abilities," Gemini told them, "will be glad to help; in three minutes, we'll smash that thing to bits."
"thank you, Gemini," Lucy cried.
"I finally made it," Ichyia said "now to take a whiff of my perfume of power," he said as he started to grow muscles and break free from the robes that had bound him. why he did;t do that earlier is anyone's guess
Wendy let in another breath as she called more power, "please, give more power from the heavens," she asked, "give me the strength to fight."
As Natus fell, Zero started to taunt him, "don't tell me this is all you got," Zero shouted as he kicked Natsu down "dragons once ruled this world, and this is the extent of their power," he shouted as Natsu attempted to fight back "you are no match for the master of the Oracion seis" he told Natsu "it's too bad your friends aren't here to help you" he said "cause your no match for me."
[##dragon slayer theme##]
"I can hear them," Natsu said, standing up "their voices," he said under his breath. "I'm still going because of that," Natsu told Zero "they're the reason I keep going," an image of all his friends flashed in his mind. "I won't lose to you," Natsu said
AS he got up to fight again, Gray started to ready to fire as Gemini in Lucy form summoned Taurus Erza requipped into her black wing armor, and Ichyia stood in his new muscular form, and Wendy opened her eyes, the air started to swirl around her as she felt the power in her grow she was ready to end this and save her guild
"I won't lose as long as I hear their voices," Natsu shouted as Zero smiled as he felt Natsu magic power "{dragons slayer secret art}" the boy shouted he got ready to unleash his strongest move
" If only I could make dragon force my own," Zero said to Natsu, "since I have no use for you" Zero as he too unleashed his magic power, "I will send you back to the nothingness of whence you came"
"{Genesis: Zero }"
"{Flame lotus: exploding flame blade}."
