"thinking"
On with the story
Natsu soars up the sky as he floated in the air while glaring down on Hades on his ship
"where are they?" Natsu said as his eyes glowed red while letting off vapor from between the helmet's visors.
"you must be Natsu Dragneel" Hades said while scratching his beard "if you are referring to the trans mutated people of Hixs town, they are no longer on board my ship"
"where are they?" Natsu said as his wings ignites in flames "I won't ask again"
"who knows" Hades stated "I had ordered them to annihilate nearby towns, and there are other towns nearby. It is hard to calculate how many had gone to which town"
The flames rages around Natsu's armor as they formed a flaming coat that forms a Dragon behind Natsu
"once I'm through with you…" Natsu said as he growls angrily while the flames rages uncontrollably "…you'll wish that you were dead ages ago, old man"
At the cave, Erza and the others stayed inside with the townsfolks as they could hear a raging storm coming from the skies
"sounds like a big storm is coming" Cana said hearing the ringing thunder outside
"but Hixs town doesn't regularly have a storm" Éclair said while huddling some children with her "right?"
"I think it's Natsu" Erza said looking at the lightning that lightens the sky outside "I can feel…his anger"
"me too" Mira said in agreement while placing a hand to her right thigh as the Dragon mark shines crimson "my mark is burning here"
"ours too" Cana said as her, Éclair, Kagura, and Erza's Dragon marks were shining crimson "it's like last time, but more.."
"heated" Kagura said as she winced a bit to the heat that was going off on her dragon mark "I can feel Natsu's anger surging into the mark"
"he's angry" Éclair said "he's angry at the ones who harmed his loved ones"
"and I don't think the boss of Grimoire Heart.." Cana said as her Dragon belt was shaking like crazy "..is going to have a happy end to his life"
The skies darken and rages with lightning everywhere. Thunder came next as the land was struck in the powerful jolts of electricity charring the land in black flowers
Upon Grimoire Hearts floating ship, explosions rang out everywhere as the ship started to sink to the ground before crashing and created a powerful shockwave that shook the land
Everything burned into flames as nothing was being spared
Hades went flying several metal walls before crashing outside his ship and to the ground
The old man seemingly in a worse condition where his body is nearly burned to a crisp
"what…p-power.." Hades grunted out as he spits out some blood while sitting up "..it is equal to that of a Saint Mage…no..a Dragon!"
From within Hades' ship, Natsu came out by ripping off the wall as the man looks like a flaming demon from hell
"I'm not done with you yet" Natsu said as he sets a foot on the ground and it soon started to melt from an incredible amount of heat that was rising around the young man "I'm going to make you pay for everything that you have ever committed"
Hades chuckled as he got up while dusting off the dirt on his arms
"boy, you have no idea on what I am capable of" Hades said as he extinguishes a part of his beard that was sizzling with his fingers "and I am not one to be underestimated"
"I don't care" Natsu said before flames rages around his body and glowing crimson eyes appeared in the flames. "what I care now….is to send you to oblivion"
"To think I would ever get a chance to see it with my own eyes." Hades said in awe. "The ultimate form of Dragon Slaying Magic...Dragon Force!"
The flames subsided and revealed Natsu whose body had seemed to fuse with Enryuo Yoroi
"This magic...how truly intriguing." Hades commented before Natsu appeared in front of him and sends his right fist at Hades' face, smashing the elder's face into the ground, his head and shoulders buried in the floor, his legs sticking out like a carrot ready to pluck out of the soil. He then flexed his left leg and kicked Hades in the gut, breaking him out of his prison and forcing him to fly through the ground and into a giant rock that instantly gets destroyed into pieces
Hades rolled on the ground and pushed the floor with his hands to launch himself in the air, a giant hand made out of flames crashing from underneath the floor he was rolling on just a moment ago.
Natsu flipped in the air and landed safely on the ground, and when Hades spotted his figure, he was up for a surprise. The strike that was meant to reach his stomach was successfully blocked with his left elbow, yellow letters spreading across the arm. Natsu raised it and set it ablaze, the fire purging the spell away.
"I see. Your already enhanced senses must have been brought to an even higher level, one that when combined with this magic power makes you a force to be reckoned with." Hades commented with amusement.
Hades swings his fingers to the side as purple magic letters appeared all around him before a powerful blast of magic strikes down upon Natsu who just stood in his place
"Amasterasu Formula 21. How did it feel to be strike down from an ancient magic?" Hades asked before a metal hand came out of the smoke and grabbed Hade's neck
"I don't feel the pain" Natsu said coming out of the smoke as his glowing red eyes shines intensely creating red vapor in his helmet "I only feel angry!"
Natsu soon slugs his fist right at Hades' face hard before grabbing his head and slams his fist again to it before kicking Hades away, breaking the ground just from the forcing win of his kick
Hades crashed several feet away before stopping as the old man regained his footing but was soon sent flying away by Natsu who let out a torrent of crimson flames from his mouth that melted the ground and nearly boiling it
Natsu growls like a monster as the man takes a few steps forward before sprinting towards Hades and sends a flaming kick straight at his face, sending the Grimoire Heart leader flying to a rock wall
Irene watched the whole scene as she trembles to see such raw and utter power Natsu unleashed from within
"his power….has increased from last year…" Irene thought as she sees a transparent figure of a black haired Natsu standing beside Natsu who was pummelling Hades to the ground "…his seals…they're releasing faster than expected"
Natsu slams his hands together in front before slowly pulling them apart, creating a raging ball of fire in between that slowly grows bigger
"like I let you!" Hades exclaimed as he wave his hands to the side, purple magic letters appearing before a powerful black lightning blast fired towards Natsu
Natsu pulled back his right fist before sending it straight at the flaming sphere, sending it flying towards Hades' attack
The two attacks collided before causing a massive explosion that cause a huge tremor to shake the land
Irene holds her ground as the tremor nearly caused the ground to split, she looks ahead and sees a giant flaming sphere appearing out of nowhere while in the grasp of Natsu who holds it up high against Hades who was bewildered to see such power
"Try dodging this!" Natsu shouted as he throws the giant flaming sphere at Hades who stares upon it before a powerful flaming explosion exploded as if the sun had collided with the ground
"Guaaaahhh!" Hades shouted out as the flames burns everything away
"what's going on!?" Lucy exclaimed as the train was shaking hard and everyone was panicking
"I never felt such an earthquake!" Kamika stated while holding on to a seat "is Irene-san so powerful!?"
A powerful gust soon shatters all the windows in the train carriages as the passengers screams in panic
Ultear hugs Meredy close as the child was crying non stop
Caressing her head, Ultear holds her close as she felt a bad omen rising in her heart
Upon the battlefield, Irene stares upon a smoking black crater as Hades was in it, his body burned beyond words while Natsu stood in his place
Natsu took a few deep breathes before he looks at his hands as the armor plating on them cracked before they shattered along with his armor
Squinting his eyes, Natsu gritted his teeth in anger
"why can't I truly master you?!" Natsu screamed in his mind as Enryuo Yoroi had just shattered into pieces before the small metal pieces glowed and turns into dust
Natsu soon looks down in the crater as Hades lies there motionlessly
The young man soon turns around to walk away only for a magic bullet to pierce through his back and to his chest
"Gah!" Natsu coughs out some blood before he turns and glared at Hades who had a hand reached out and was steaming a bit "you bastard!"
"For the first time in my life...I felt fear. I did not expect to get out of this alive." Hades said as his body slowly floated up for him to stand straight "you had me scared for the first time in my life, a formidable foe, you are"
Natsu growls as the bullet wound on him slowly disappears. Flames soon rages around Natsu's fist and all over his arms and legs
"for letting me experience such an emotion after decades. Let me repay you kindly by sending you to the depths of hell" Hades said as he grabs his eyepatch and takes it off before his closed eye slowly opened "Devil's eye….activate!"
That's a wrap!
going on a longer hiatus
Bye bye
