(Zeref, who's face was near the view before it began to move away and showed as his whole body, open his closed eyes, as the view moves away from him and held up his fisted hand before opening it and releasing some black mist.

(Bloody 3: Heard the news and... Rape)
(Natsu's Memory but at Zeref's third point of view because he's point of view is more easier than Natsu)
"Nii-san!" A 6 years old Natsu shouted, running towards the top of a grassy mountain, where he saw an 8 years old boy standing.
"Natsu?" the boy asks, watching Natsu run towards him.
"Nii-san! You were here after all!" Natsu panted, stopping in front of his brother. The older boy look at Natsu worriedly, before stepping forward.
"Otouto?" he asks, the young boy raise one of his hand before taking a huge breath and smiled at his brother.
"Mou! I've been looking everywhere for you and you here all along…" the boy pouted, making the older brother to chuckle.
"Gomen ne…" he said while ruffling his brother's pink hair. "But putting that aside why are you looking for me?" he then asks, the younger brother pause for a second before snapping his finger.
"It's time for lunch and you have an hour before going to the academy again!" he stated, the older boy blink before smiling.
"Then I better not miss the lunch my young brother made for me." He said reaching his hand towards Natsu, who smiled and grabs it.
"And you better not be late!"
"Alright, alright…" the older boy sighed, before looking at his younger brother who continues to drag him.
'He's the cutest brother a sibling could ever had…' he thought before looking up. 'Tou-san, Kaa-san… thank you for giving me a sibling.'
"..nii! ef-nii! Zeref-nii!" Natsu shouted snapping his brother from his thoughts.
"Gomen Natsu." Zeref said, smiling sheepishly, Natsu sighed before pouting.
"Zeref-nii, if you keep losing your focus, something bad might happen to you and I don't want that!"
"Oh come on Natsu…" Zeref said before kneeling down and smiled at his brother before patting his head. "I'm Zeref Dragneel, the awesome big brother of Natsu Dragneel, so there is no way something bad will happen to me!" he smiled happily before it turn sad.
"Nii-san?" Natsu asks, tilting his head to the side.
"I'm more worried about you Natsu," the brother admitted before looking at his younger sibling. "My lil' Natsu is sick and yet he's taking care of me even though I'm older and promised mom and dad to protect and took care of you before they die. I'm sorry Natsu…" he said, looking at the ground, never seeing his brother smiled.
"Nii-san…" the pink haired boy said softly. "You don't have to apologize, no one is at fault, this is not your fault, nor our parents… Maybe it was destined that I should have a weak body… maybe Ancselam, the god of life and death wanted this to happen… to strengthen our bond!" He said happily making Zeref to smile.
"You're too smart for your own good Natsu, maybe if you had a stronger body you'll be in the same level as me in school." 'But unfortunately you can't because we lack of money and your body is weak.' He thought sadly.
"As long as Zeref-nii learn then I can learn as well! Zeref-nii is the awesome teacher after all!" Natsu replied, grinning, making Zeref to grin as well.
"Yea…" and then they proceed home.
(Erebus Valdis memory room)
Amon watch the lacrima as Natsu's childhood memory are being shown.
"A weak body? Salamander had a weak body before?" Waru asks, tilting his head to the side before looking at his master. "But how come he had a healthy body now?"
"Hmm... probably because Zeref revived him into a demon, into an Etherias." The master answered.
"Hmmm... I guess your right about that..." Surota nodded, looking at Natsu's crying face. Amon looks at the fire mage before looking back at the lacrima.
"Don't worry about the boy… it's normal for a once dead person and loses their memories and then regain it back, to cry. It's like a part of you was rip off, and you've forgotten that part but then suddenly remembered it and was glad or sad about it." He explained, knowing that some of his mages didn't understand why Natsu was crying. And he was right when he saw some of the akumas' nodded.
"Is the prince sad or glad?" one of the akuma asks.
"Not sure, probably both."
"Say Master, do you think Lord Zeref will know what will happen to his brother? It's been four days since we kidnapped him." Waru asks, curiously, however that question still made some of the Akumas to look at him and the master.
"The reason we kidnapped the young prince is because we want to know more about Lord Zeref and to be more powerful, if he does heard about his brother getting kidnapped that it will be a plus if he comes here, and tries to save his brother."
"Why would it be a plus master?" Surota asks, watching as his master grins widely.
"We can use the young dragon prince, threaten the Lord Zeref, that unless he will make an alliance with us, his precious brother life will be in our hands."
"Ooohhh~… I never thought of that." Waru said, before blinking and look at his master. "But what makes you think he'll do it?" Amon then laughs at his question,
"Before you label him…" He started smirking while watching as Natsu's previous life were being shown.
"I want to see Natsu's smile… because your smile is my light! So I will do everything I can just to see you smile otouto!" The child Zeref, in Natsu's memory said, smiling at Natsu who smiled back at his brother.
"Prodigy, cursed, dark wizard, and evil…" he added before looking at Waru nodding his head at the direction of the lacrima in front of them. "Never forget he did all of it to see his smile again." He finished, all of the dark mages eyes widen, understanding what their master meant.
"So… Lord Zeref resurrect his brother, just to be with him and see his smile again, master?" an akuma mage asks, their master nodded.
"That is correct… or maybe so… I only gather this information base on what we saw from the young prince memory, I just need to connect the dots and it'll be clear… however I need to see more of his memories to be sure."
"Yes Master…" The akuma bowed before looking at the lacrima.
(Natsu's Memory but at Zeref's third point of view because he's point of view is more easier than Natsu)
Zeref walk at the road that was leading to his and Natsu's cottage, hugging his books to his chest. Normally he would stay at the school for a bit longer and talk to the teachers, trying to convince them to let him bring Natsu to school, but this time he didn't. For some unknown reason he had this feeling, a terrible feeling that something bad happen. What was that something he doesn't know, but just to make sure that this feeling isn't about he's brother, he walk fast and went straight ahead to home.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The sound of books falling to the ground were heard loud and clear. The forest was silent not even a sound was made except from Zeref's breathing. Said boy was remain frozen, wide eyes and trembling upon seeing a scene that made his heart to nearly break. The in front of him was their cottage, and just in front of their front door was Natsu, sprawled on the ground, a fallen basket and clothes and sheets spread out just above his head.
"N-na-NATSU!" Shouted the older brother, immediately running towards his brother, sliding to the ground when he was just feet away from him. Once he stop at his younger brother's said, Zeref carefully, tenderly and lovingly turned Natsu and cradle him in his arms while looking at his younger brother's condition.
"Natsu…" Zeref whispered, taking in his brother's flush face, heavy breathing and hot temperature. "Hold on okay, I'm going to carry you back to the house and get a doctor for you." He said, before lifting his brother up and immediately proceed to their room and laid Natsu down at his bed, before going to the bathroom and wet a piece of cloth before going back to the bedroom and put the cold towel on Natsu's forehead.
"I'll be back otouto…" Zeref said, before running out of the room and then the house again, and went to search for a doctor.
"Zeref-nii…"
Few minutes later, Zeref came back with a doctor, who gives their patient a free checkup and medicine, following behind him.
"Sensei! Please hurry!" Zeref said, running. The doctor panted.
"Please, Zeref-kun… I'm a middle age man, not twenty!" the doctor said, but did what the older brother told him and then not two minutes later they were back at the house. Zeref immediately lead the way to their bedroom where he left Natsu behind.
Zeref ran towards his brother's bed and jump to it and look at Natsu before looking at the doctor, who sat at the chair just beside Natsu, and checked his condition.
"Hmm…" The doctor hummed checking the pulse of the pink haired boy, then putting a thermometer at the said boy's mouth before looking at the big brother.
"Your brother had a weak body since birth correct?" he asks, Zeref nodded.
"After your parents died, what did your brother do?"
"Um… well… he's been doing the house hold chores. When I'm home he'll just cook, sweep or wash the dishes, while I gather fire woods, do the laundry and harvesting the vegetables we planted. If I'm at school, he'll do the same but he also clean the house and sometimes do the laundries." Zeref answered, his answered, however made the doctor to sigh.
"Did you know that the more work a person who had a weak body, the weaker they become?" he asks, softly, Zeref nodded. "Ah… so your brother insisted to do some work?" he concluded and again Zeref nodded.
"Because we're poor, we couldn't ask someone to take care of my brother and our home without paying them in return… so we have to do everything for ourselves… even though my brother knew about his condition and the consequences on what will happen to him, he never stop…" The older brother looks down, feeling guilty. The doctor smiled before saying.
"The love of a sibling stands above anything else if you don't have anyone else other than said sibling." Zeref smiled, while nodding and look at his brother before blinking and ask the doctor.
"So what's wrong with him?"
"He just faint from exhaustion." He said, before looking seriously and grimly at Zeref. "However should he ever faint again… I don't think I can very much help…" The black haired boy look at him surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"Zeref-kun… your younger brother's body is failing him…" he said, grimly this cause the older brother's breathe to hitched.
"No..no…NO! That's not true! That's not tru—" The latter started to protest only to be cut in the middle of his protest.
"Nii-san…" he heard his younger brother whispered, which made him to turn around, only to be shock to see said brother's eyes open.
"Natsu!" Zeref shouted worriedly, hugging his brother, while the doctor patted his back and stands up.
"Then I'll be going…" he said, Zeref nodded, not bothering himself to look at the doctor. Upon hearing the front door shut close, the older boy began to tremble which made the younger boy to pat his back.
"Nii-san…" Natsu started, only to be cut off by Zeref, who vigorously shake his head.
"No! You're not fine! No! Everything's not fine!" The older brother removes himself from the hug and grips his younger brother's shoulder tightly.
"Don't you see Natsu?! You'll die if you tire yourself out…so please for big brother… stop doing things that are hard for you…please…" Zeref beg tears began to escape his eyes. Natsu bit his lips before touching his brother face and said.
"Zeref-nii please stop crying… Natsu will not make a promise to stop because…" Zeref look at his brother who grins at him. "Who will be cooking Zeref-nii's favorite curry bun?" Zeref chuckled before shaking his head.
"You always fine some light within the darkness." He stated, Natsu blink confuse. "Alright, I'll only allow you to cook… no more chores like sweeping and laundering or washing dishes you got that?" he asks sternly, which made the young boy to pout before nodding.
"Hai!" then he grins
(Somewhere in Fiore)
"Is there any dark guild here?"
"No… sorry…"
"Sumimasen… is there a dark guild here?"
"Nah… sorry blondie there aren't any."
"Does this town have any dark guild nearby?"
"Gomen young lady… but there aren't…"
Erza, Gray and Lucy sighed in disappointment before looking at each other. It's been three days since they left fairy tail and searched for Natsu and within those three days they manage to visit four towns, while asking if said towns had dark guild around them. Of course the result are always negative.
"Lu-chan!" Levy shouted running towards them. The three of them then look at her before smiling when they saw Laxus, Mira, Cana, Gajeeel, Levy and Juvia.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia shouted, running towards the said ice mage, who dodge her immediately.
"Yo… did you have the information we needed?" Erza asks, ignoring the ice and water mage.
"We manage to get the names of the dark guild all over Ishgar from the magic council… however we have to explain why we need the list though." Levy said, Gray and the other GMG Team A stop.
"You told them that Natsu was kidnapped?" Gray asks, Levy and the other team nodded which made Erza to sigh.
"Well, what did they say?"
"They didn't believe it at first, but with the bald man there they believe us." Gajeel said, Erza nodded.
"Then let's go to the hill where Wendy is." She said, they all excluding Team A blink.
"Wendy is at a hill?" Cana asks.
"Yup…" Lucy nodded. "She said, because she's a sky dragon slayer maybe she can probably smell Natsu's scent through the wind or asks the wind if they ever saw Natsu."
"Wind can talk?" Juvia asks, making the dragon slayers to sigh.
"None really… we just can understand the elements we have…" Laxus said.
"Does that mean you can understand the metal Gajeel?" Levy asks, looking at the iron dragon slayer who nodded, they then all look at Laxus who nodded as well.
"Enough… we have to go now…" Erza commanded and they all nodded and left the town, going to the mountain where Wendy, Carla and Happy are.
(At a mountain)
Wendy, who was standing near at the edge of a cliff, sighed before opening her once close eyes.
"Something wrong Wendy?" Carla asks, standing behind the blue haired mage, who shake her head.
"Nothing… It's just that the winds didn't see Natsu-san anywhere near here or near magnolia." She answered.
"Then that means Natsu is no longer around here…" the blue exceed sadly said, Wendy and Carla look at each other before smiling and said.
"Don't worry happy…" Wendy said.
"That's right, we'll find him sooner, as long as we work together." The white exceed said, Happy look at them before nodding slowly.
"Did you guys found anything?" Erza asks, walking behind them, Wendy and the two exceeds look at her before shaking their head.
"No, nothing…"
"There is something bothering me for a while." Gray suddenly spoke out, catching their attention.
"What?" Lily asks.
"I know that we've been searching for Natsu for three days, and I think I told you guys this late but…" the ice mage then look at them seriously. "What could they possibly want from Natsu?"
Then like a lightning has been strike on them, they all began to and thought about Gray's question.
"You're right, it's weird that a dark guild just suddenly kidnapped another mage, a strong one at that." Erza said.
"That's right, unless it's related to money or orders… I don't think they really have a reason to kidnapped Natsu." Mira stated, they all began to murmur to each other. It was then that Wendy remembered something.
"Could it be… that they trying to do some forbidden magic that requires the magic of a powerful mage, like Natsu-san?" she asks, they all look at her. "I mean, when we were at the edolas, Natsu-san and I were kidnapped for our powers. So there's a possibility that, that's their reason for kidnapping him."
"Why didn't we think of that before?!" Lucy shouted.
"If they did kidnapped Natsu for that reason, then everyone lives are in danger!" Levy shouted.
"Why didn't we think of that from the very beginning?! And Gray why didn't you said something?!" Cana asks, growling before sighing. "No… Don't answer that because I know that you were worried just like everyone else so it probably slips your mind." She added immediately when she saw Gray open his mouth to protest.
"If that's the case we need to find Natsu and fast." Levy said, the others nodded.
"But first we need to rest, let's go back to the inn and begin our search tomorrow." Erza ordered, they all nodded and went back to the town, not noticing a dark shadow hiding behind a tree and were listening to their conversation.
(With Zeref)
A man wearing high-collared red and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso, holding a book with one of his hand, was walking on a path meters away from the fairy tail search party, deep in thought.
'What was that that I felt three days ago? Did something to Natsu? I did shed tears and called his name.' Zeref, Natsu's big brother thought. But after a minute of walking, he slowly and quietly stop when he heard voices.
'There's people around here? I better get going before they see me.' He thought, turning around to leave only to freeze when he heard a name he thought he won't be hearing for a while.
"…from Natsu?"
'Natsu? They're talking about my younger brother?' he thought before slowly went towards near the voices, stopping behind a huge tree, where he can see and hear them but they can't see him.
"… I don't think they really have a reason to kidnapped Natsu." He heard a white haired women said, while thinking.
'Kidnapped? Natsu's been kidnapped?' The black mage thought, panicking.
"Could it be… that they trying to do some forbidden magic that requires the magic of a powerful mage, like Natsu-san? I mean, when we were at the edolas, Natsu-san and I were kidnapped for our powers. So there's a possibility that, that's their reason for kidnapping him."
'Edolas? The other world? They went there? Wait… Natsu's been kidnapped there as well?!' Slowly, ever so slowly, Zeref's emotion began to rise up but the emotion that was rising a bit faster than the rest was anger and concern. The older brother block out the rest of their conversation trying to control his magic and emotions, but he can't help but be bothered about this. He lost his brother once, and then twice when he gave Natsu to Igneel, thrice at the Tenroujima where he thought that Acnologia killed his brother… he can't bear to lose him for the fourth time. So as the conversation between the fairy tail mages continues, Zeref began to think of any guild that could have possibly kidnapped his brother.
'There are lot of guilds here, half of them are guild I don't know yet they worshipped me…' he thought, not noticing that the other already left. 'Which one is it?' Then he close his eyes, trying to think of any guild that could have kidnapped his brother, however what came into his mind was not the thing he wanted. An image of a smiling, 6 years old Natsu flash in his mind, which made him bit his lip before opening his now red eyes.
"I don't care…" he mumbled then began to leave his spot. "I don't care what guild you are… if you hurt my brother… I'll make sure you suffer ten times more…" he growled out and then he was gone, silently making an oath to look for Natsu even if it's the last thing he do.
(Natsu's Memory but at Zeref's third point of view because he's point of view is more easier than Natsu)
The young Natsu coughs, before gracefully folding the clothes and sheets, inside their room. It's been two weeks since the fainting incident happen and Zeref was being so over protective of him, making sure he doesn't tire himself out. What Zeref didn't know is that when his not around his brother, would go out and pick one or two of their planted fruits and vegetables, and folding laundries once they were dry. Which then lead to this… a coughing Natsu, who seems to have a fever, considering his flush face and harbored breathing.
"I need to hurry…" he panted out, "Zeref-nii will be home soon…" then slowly but surely he stood up and put the folded clothes into their small closet before going to the bed where he fell down.
'Nii-san…' he called out before everything went black.
(Zeref, an hour later)
The older brother opened the door before looking around and notice how silent their house is.
"Nastu?" he called out, putting his books at the table in front of him before going to their bedroom where he saw Natsu sprawled at his bed which made him to panic.
"NATSU!" he shouted, running towards his brother and gently cradled him.
'Please be okay, please!' he pleaded and went to check his brother's pulse, nearly freezing when he felt how weak it was.
"Otouto?" he called quietly. "Please wake up…"
"Nii-san…" Natsu whispered, opening his eyes and smiled at Zeref, who bit his lip.
"Oh otouto…" not wanting to let the former see him cry, he nuzzled at his brother's chest while saying, "I thought I lost you… please don't leave me…"
"Nii… you and I both know that…*coughs*"
"Natsu!" the already worried brother look at him immediately panicking when he saw how pale the pink haired boy is.
"We both know that I won't last much longer… no matter how much I want to stay with you… I can't oni-sama…" Natsu pant out, Zeref shake his head and look down before looking up and when Nastu look at his eyes he saw determination which made his eyes to widen.
"I want you to stay with me, be with me and I want to see you smile! I will find a cure for you Natsu!" Zeref said, the younger boy shake his head.
"Oni… by the time that happen, I might be dead already…"
"YES! But I will find a cure for you! I need to find something that can preserve your body and after that I will… I will find the cure for you!"
After that day Zeref began to look for tiny particles of Lacrima whether big or small, he could find. Sometimes he took some lacrima that are no longer needed in school and bring it home then to their parents room where he'll mix it up with some potions he created. Once in a while he would pick up some bugs and put them in a jar. After that once Zeref finish his lacrima preservation he would put one of the bug and once them fell asleep but unfortunately the first try failed when the bug died inside of it because it was lacking air. He then try putting some water inside the lacrima but the bug drown. As the days pass Zeref become more desperate on making the lacrima, which made his younger brother to worry.
"Nii-san…" he called out soflty, one day. Zeref look up and saw his brother holding something in his palm.
"What is it Natsu?" he asks softly, the former then put some seeds in his palm.
"Maybe if you can plant that you can build the Lacrima you've been looking for…" he said before leaving his brother alone, who look at him confuse.
"I can build it? But what can a seed help when the moment they sprout they'll just give you oxygen and…" he then trailed off before looking at the seed in his hand.
"That's it!" he shouted excitedly, then began his work again.
(Two days later)
Zeref put the seeds his brother give him at a boiling lacrima with the potion he used.
"Please work…" he pleaded then minutes later he took the seed out and saw them glow which made him smile he then put it at a pot and waited for the next day.
"Zeref-nii!" Nastu called out, who was arranging their dinner. "Dinner time!"
"Natsu! How many times do I have to tell to not to work anymore?" Zeref asks, walking at a fast pace towards the dining room, where he saw his brother grinning at him happily.
"And how many times do I have to tell Zeref-nii to rest after you arrived at school?" he teasingly ask back which made his brother to laugh.
"Alright, alright… I'll rest after arriving to school tomorrow." He promised, the younger nodded with a serious face before he blink.
"I forgot the soup!" he shouted before running towards the kitchen where he carefuly transferred some soup at the bowl, ignoring the dark spots appearing in his vision. Once finished he turn and went towards the dining room but before he could ten steps away from their stoves, he fell and the last thing he heard was his brother shouting his name worriedly.
CRASH! THUD!
Were the sounds the resounded at their home, Zeref immediately went to the kitchen where he saw his precious brother lying at the ground.
"NATSU!"
(An hour later)
The doctor, who Zeref brought home days earlier examined Natsu before shaking his head and look at Zeref, who look at him with hopeful eyes.
"I'm sorry Zeref-kun… but your brother won't last much longer…" he said grimly, closing his eyes, not wanting to see his hope to shatter.
"Wh-what?" he asks, stepping back and away from the doctor, who stands up and pats his head.
"I'm sorry Zeref-kun… but your brother only have two weeks left… I'm sorry…" with that the doctor left the mourning brother alone.
"Natsu…" the older brother said gritting his teeth. "NATSU!"
After that Zeref skips his school just to take care of his brother and to continue his work and then ten weeks later his work, the seed his soaked in the lacrima finally sprouted, but what he saw nearly made him burst in happiness.
The seed didn't spout any sort of plant instead it sprouted an egg shape lacrima with water and oxygen inside said lacrima was being hold by some roots at the bottom. Zeref put the last and dead bug he had inside and left it there before taking care of his brother, excited to show his achievement to his brother. But before he entered Nastu's room he went back to their garden where he planted another lacrima seed and what he saw made him smiled so big.
The seed sprouted as well, although this seed was nearly a seedling and from the size of the lacrima a two years old child can fit in. He then ran inside and went to their bedroom.
"Natsu! Natsu!" he shouted. "You won't believe what happen to the seed you gave me!" he walks inside their room and smiled at his brother who look at him with confusion.
"What?" he asks, the older brother at his bed.
"It sprouted with Lacrima!" he shouted, gesturing with his hands and began to explain what he did to the seed, and never did he notice how pale his brother is and that he was trembling… until it was too late.
(Four days later)
Zeref jump happily when he saw the dead bug's body was still in the lacrima when it was supposed to start decomposing. At a fast pace he went to their room, carrying the pot gently and open the door.
"Natsu look the bug's body is okay!" Zeref said, his happiness fading when he saw how slowly he's brother breathing was and yet he was smiling happily at his brother.
"Natsu?" he asks, quietly walking towards his brother, who sluggishly blink his eyes.
"Hai?" the younger boy asks, weakly which made his brother's breathed to hitches. Carefully Zeref put the pot at the table beside his brother's bed and sat at the said bed.
"Otouto?" he asks, quietly.
"S…smile…for…me…" Nastu panted out, the former shakes his head, gritting his teeth.
"I… I can't…" he sobbed out, the pink haired lift a trembling hand toward his brother.
"You… were… smiling… earlier…"
"It's because I thought everything was okay! Otuoto please don't leave me…"
"My body…" Natsu then points a trembling finger at the pot where the lacrima is. "Inside… nii's… work…" he then looks at his brother and smiled happily and brightly.
"I… dead… natsu… watch… nii-san…" Zeref watch painfully, tears escaping his eyes. "Smile… for…me…"
Zeref close his eyes, gritting his teeth before inhaling deeply and open his eyes to look at his brother only to have his breath caught. Because even though his brother was dying… he still manage to give the most beautiful smile. Biting his lip softly, Zeref smiled, giving his brother the best smile he could manage.
"Arigatou Natsu… Ai shiteru..." he said, Natsu leaned up and smiled.
"Arigatou… oni… Nastu… wa… ai shiteru…" Zeref bit his lip. Stopping himself from trying to shout, demand his brother to not close his eyes. But he can't and so he watch painfully as Natsu close his eyes and sleep…
"NNNNAAAATTTTTTTSSSSSSUUUUUU!"
(The next day) (This here is not part of Natsu's memories just Zeref's)
Zeref watch silently, as some men covered his brother's coffin, while his teacher puts a hand at his shoulder, worried for the boy's mental and emotional state. He saw how damage the boy was last night when he and the towns' people heard his cry for his brother. Zeref's teacher went towards his and his brother home only to find a broken boy cradling the dead body of his peaceful younger brother. He then asks if it's okay if they buried his brother the next day, unsurprised that Zeref agreed, knowing that he can't bear to look at his brother for now and then they both agree to bury his brother together with their parents which is just at the forest… what he didn't know is that Zeref planned something.
"Sensei…" Zeref called out softly, said teacher look at him.
"Hmmm?"
"Why do people born and why do they die?" he asks, the teacher froze before shaking his head.
"That is not for you to learn, Zeref-kun."
(Later that night)
Zeref panted, digging at his brother's grave and sometimes using his magic to help him, one he made it to the coffin he use his magic to lift the lid up and grab the body of his brother before jumping out of the pit and watch as the magic he use cover's the lid back and put the soil back in place like it was untouched in the first place, he then run back inside their house and went to their basement,that was unknown to the teacher. And inside the basement was the lacrima seedling he planted at their garden. The day after Zeref saw the Lacrima seedling at the garden he transferred it into a pot and hide the said pot at their basement fearing that people might steal the said seedling.
"Amazing…" He pant out when he saw that the lacrima grew and he steps towards it and carefully lift his brother up, holding him under his armpit and puts him inside and smiled when he's brother was already inside safely…
(Erebus Valdis memory room)
Amon and the akuma mages watch as the lacrima that was playing Natsu memory go black.
"That was… so sad…"Waru said, wiping the tears that fell down from his eyes, his master rolled his eyes, knowing that said mage was faking it.
"That triple personality of yours is really getting on my nerves." Surota said, backing away at the said mage who began to laugh.
"Can't help it… let me wear a cloak and I'll be the person who the young prince saw, let me saw something sad and I'll fakes it, and let everything be normal then I'll be normal as well." He said, the akumas shake their heads before looking back at the lacrima when they saw it glow brightly. Amon steps forward, watching as the human size lacrima that held Natsu, slowly push the said fire mage outside.
"Catch him." The master ordered, one of the akuma steps forwards and began to chant. The moment Natsu was out of the lacrima a weird jelly octopus leg came out and grab him by the waist before bringing him towards their torturer, who excitedly and grinningly accepted the fire mage.
"Make sure he's still alive after you're done." Amon demanded.
"Can I broke him?" Surota said, looking at their master with wide eyes, their master thought of it for a while before nodding.
"Alrighty!" he shouted and immediately run away from the room proceeding to their torture chamber.
(An hour later, at the torture chamber)
Natsu stirred before blinking his eyes open and saw that his back at the cell where he first woke up.
'Zeref-nii… I'm sorry…' he silently called out and tears escaped his eyes, after being alone and crying for a minutes he heard someone entered.
"Awww… why are you crying little prince?" he heard the torturer's voice asks. Natsu look at him, glaring, Surota smirks. "That glare would have been more effective if you didn't have tears in your eyes."
(Warning! Describing or mentioning or act of rape is here! Please ignore this part and skip to the next chapter below! Warning! Warning!)
"Shut up!" Natsu cried out, Surota shakes his head before snapping his finger and the straps around Natsu wrist and ankles tighten.
'Itai!' Natsu winced inwardly, when he felt the leather cut through his skin.
"You know… at far you're so good looking." Surota said, climbing above Natsu and began to unbuckle his belt and pants, Natsu's eyes widen.
"Wh-what…"
"But in closer look…" the bulky man leaned down and lick the frozen mage cheek. "You're cute…"
The former look at the fire mage with hunger in his eyes, without any hesitation he grab the kimono the salamander wore before ripping it, exposing everything about the fire mage.
"Let me go!" Just as Surota began to licks the tan chest of Natsu, did the latter snapped out from his trance and struggled under the bulky man's figure.
"Like hell I will…" and then the akuma spread Natsu legs, making the leather strap dig into his ankle more. "You're so beautiful here." He said, licking his lips.
"NOOO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" the rapist then line up with Natsu who shouted.
"HELP ME! ANIKIIIIIIIIIIII!" then it began, the only thing you can hear were Natsu's scream, asking for his brother, crying and Surota grunting.
(End of Rape)
Was it hours later? Or maybe days? Natsu didn't know how long this happen or when did he stop screaming, but he did know that he's rapist and soon to be torturer, finally stop and left him alone in the room, naked and some white fluid coming out from his bottom. Tears were escaping his dull eyes, nearly losing hope, especially when he didn't have the scarf Igneel gave him. The scarf was his life and with it gone, he thought that he won't stand a chance in that place.
'Nii-san… help me please… onegai… I want to be with my family again… onegai… aniki…' were his final thoughts before everything went black.
(End of Bloody 3, Heard the News and Rape)
And here's bloody 4, the long waited saving… and reunion
(Bloody 4 Broken and Saving my Brother)
(Two weeks later)
Natsu panted, blood dripping from his back, few feet away from him was Surota watching the blood flows down the wound he had inflicted when he was whipping the fire mage with whip magic.
"Tsk! Scream more will you!" he shouted, then began to whip Natsu again, who eyes turn dull and only panting.
'Zeref-nii… Zeref-nii…' he thought, repeating it like a mantra. For a while Surota stop before scoffing and snaps his finger. Natsu was then immediately flown back to his bed, hard. Grunting softly in pain, the fire mage felt the bed below wet, and then mutely noted that it was his blood that was spreading on the sheets again.
"Are you already broken?" Surota asks, looking down at his victim, before smirking when he saw some light in Natsu's eyes before it faded. He then grins before climbing up at the already naked body of the fire mage.
"I don't need to tie you up… after all… you're so weak without magic and still in pain. I wonder if your still wet and stretched." And the next thing Natsu knew is pain at his bottom, the only pain he can register and feel.
"AAAAAHHHH!"
(Few hours later)
Natsu laid at the floor, fell down when he rolled too much, trying to calm his inner dragon down but failed.
'It hurts… no one will want us…' his inner dragon said, Natsu merely nodded.
'Ah… who would want something tainted…' he inwardly added, finally surrendering to his dragon side. Slowly and carefully Natsu sat up, flinching when he felt more pain in his back side before stopping.
"Zeref-nii… hurry up… I don't know how much longer I can hold on…" he whispered before looking up when he heard his cell door open and saw Surota grinning at him.
"Times up… little prince…"
'PLEASE HURRY IT UP NII-SAN!'
(At Zeref)
Zeref walk down at a path inside a dead forest. Two weeks had pass since he heard about his brother getting kidnapped by some dark guild, and he still hadn't heard anything from his brother's guild. Stopping for a while, Zeref took out a ball lacrima before putting some of his magic inside and the fairy tail search party then appeared. Zeref watched them with dark eyes before clicking his tongue when he notice they still haven't know where Natsu is.
"Damn it…" he cursed before putting the lacrima bag inside his robe. "The people said that there's a newly build dark guild…" he muttered before looking up at the dead forest.
"Erebus Valdis… if you don't have my brother I'll spare but if you do…I'll be your worst nightmare…" he silently declared his eyes turning red before he close it, and continue down the path.
(Fairy tail Search Party)
"Um… sumimasen…" Lucy said, interrupting some two men who were talking.
"Hai?" one of them asks.
"Is there any dark guild around here?" she asks, the two men look at each other before nodding grimly.
"Unfortunately there is… they're guild is called Erebus Valdis, but they call themselves akumas." The second male said, before looking at his companion who explained.
"They are not a well-known guild, in fact they appeared just six months ago. Although they didn't harm us, they harm our forest which was the main source of our fruits and vegetables."
Lucy bit her lips before looking at Erza who nodded, she nod once and look at the two men.
"Thank you for your help sirs." She said bowing.
"Are you going to stop them?"
"If you do our mayor will probably pay you for."
"No there's no need for that…" Erza said stepping forward. "We're merely looking for our comrade, even if the guild didn't had our comrade, we will leave this place as a gratitude for giving us information." And without any further ado, Erza and Lucy turned around and left the two male alone.
"There's a newly form dark guild here." Erza stated, when she reach the rest of their group at the village fountain.
"Newly form? What's the name?" Levy asks, pulling out some papers of the listed guilds are wrote and some of them were marked 'X'.
"Erebus Valdis." Lucy answered, Levy before frowning.
"There name is not listed here." She said, they all look at each other before looking at the forest where Erza is looking.
"Whether they're name is in the list or not, we will go there and find Natsu." She said before walking at the direction of the dead forest, where Zeref was walking at, the rest of the search party followed suit.
(Erebus Valdis Torture Room)
"GAAAAHHH!" Natsu shouted, strugging at the chair he was sitting on and being electrified at.
"That's it… keep screaming… keep screaming…" Surota muttered, grinning, all the while pushing the lever higher.
"GGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"We're nearly 50 young prince…" Said the torturer glancing at the lever. "Did you know that 50 is the level where all of my victims broke? I wonder if you can be broken with this level as well…" that said, he immediately push the lever up, increasing Natsu electricity.
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"You sure are enjoying this…" The bulky man sighed, before turning around and look at his master.
"Master Amon…" he said, lowering the lever. Natsu then panted heavily, his skin smoking from the burns he receive upon being electrified. Said master glance at the fire mage before looking at the torturer.
"Naked, really?" he asks, the former shrug before looking at the latter.
"What's the point of making him wear something when I'll rape him later?"
"Surota…" Amon sighed before shaking his head. "Put him back to his bed…" he order, jerking his head towards Natsu. "and then come up, it's time for lunch." After he said that, the small master turn around and left them alone. Surota sighed, before going towards the fire mage and untie him from his straps before lifting him up like a sack of potatoes and laid him to the bed none too gently.
"Be back later, little prince…" he said before leaving Natsu alone, slamming the cell door and the door as he leaves. Natsu laid at the bed still before slowly turning around, making sure the wounds on his back, which reopen when he was nearly thrown to the bed, aren't touching the hard bed.
'Can we last long enough for the guild to help us?' his dragon side said, the said dragon slayer merely listened, no longer can he ignore this voices and facts in his head.
'Will the guild accept us if they knew we're the younger brother of a dark wizard? Will aniki save us? Will we see the light again?'
'Yamete…' Nastu slowly cut off, shutting his eyes.
'Why? Why are you stopping me when I'm saying the truth!'
'I believe in them! I believe in the guild! I believe in Zeref-nii!'
'Then where are this people you believe of? Where are they?'
'Yamete…'
'They don't care for us…'
'They do!'
'They don't… they don't… they DON'T!' Natsu then gasped, snapping his eyes open, and then tears escaped his eyes, the words 'They don't' repeats in his head like a mantra. It continued, how long? He's not so sure, maybe an hour or perhaps hours, a day, weeks, months or probably years.
'Heh, I'm exaggerating…' he thought, wondering if it was better to surrender at what he's dragon side is saying but before he could make a decision, Surota entered and brought him bread and water.
"Lunch time." The latter grins before grabbing Natsu's neck and push the bread into the fire mage's mouth, who gagged at the forceful feeding. Clawing at the hand of the man, who was feeding him, hoping it would lessen the grip or stop the way he fed him. But the only result he had was a smirk and blood coming from the Akuma torturer hands and a punch in the gut.
"GAH!" Natsu grunted, dropping the bread to the floor. Surota tsk-ed before grabbing the fire mage by his hair, roughly.
"Dear me, you prince… you just have to spit out the food you'll be only having for this day…" he sighed, letting go of the hair, before grinning sadistically and then before Natsu could brace himself, he began to kick the fire mage, who moaned and grunted.
"Pathetic!" Surota laughs, while Natsu olive eyes slowly losses its color.
'They don't care about US!'
'You're right… they don't…' and then he was broken surrendering to the words he knew aren't true, but nothing could stop it… nothing…
(The next day, with Zeref)
Zeref, the overly worried brother, continues to walk. Never did he sleep nor did he rest, for he was immortal, which also means, he can go on without eating or resting. Determination filled his eyes, determination of wanting to find his brother as soon as possible. When the black haired mage arrive at a fork road, he stops and looks at each path before going to the left path before pausing and swiftly looks at the right path.
'What was that?' he thought, before stepping for the right path.
'Screaming?' he added, when he took twenty steps at the said path, he stops feeling his blood run cold, hearing something familiar to him. A voice, a voice screaming in pain, sadness and sorrow…
"Natsu!" he declared before running down a path and the further he went inside the louder the voice become. He didn't know how long he run just to reach the place where his brother is, the only thing he cared is only his brother. Maybe it was an hour, minutes actually, later when Zeref finally stopped running and stood in front of a dark castle, holding a dark magic. Closing his eyes to focus on finding his brother's magic, was the big mistake Zeref made because the moment he focused, another scream rang out, more louder than the previous one and that it could reach the fairy tail mages ears.
"This guild…" Zeref growled out, his eyes blazing red, before he stepped forward and walks towards the door. On normal days he would knock at the door before entering, but today was not normal. Today he would rescue his brother, and kill the bastards who did this, the whole guild if he had too. So, instead of knocking, he merely uses his magic to destroy the door, sending the broken pieces inside startling the akuma who were sitting or chattering there.
"Who are you?!" one of them asks, looking at Zeref, who's eyes were covered by his front hair.
"Who's the master of this guild?" he asks back. This seem to irritate the mages but before they could speak, they felt the temperature went down and Zeref releasing a dark aura.
"I asks you a question…" he stated, calmly. "Who's the master of this guild…?" he took a step forward making the akuma mages to step back, they've continue this for few more steps before it stop when they felt their master's magic.
"What do you want from me young man?" Amonn asks, standing at the top of the stairs. Zeref slowly look up and looks intensely at the guild master his eyes narrowing at the sight of the short master. Said master tried not to shudder at the look he's giving.
"You're the master of this guild?"
"I guess that would have been pretty obvious the moment I asked some question young man." The short master cross his arms over his chest. Zeref began to walk towards the said master, but the akuma mages block his way.
"You're not going anywhere near our master unless you state your business." Waru said, stepping forward. Zeref looks down, his patient slowly running thin.
"I'm merely a concern mage who heard someone screaming in pain, while passing by." He lied, making sure that it was his brother that was screaming. Amon scoff, before looking at Waru, giving him a nod.
"What that scream was got nothing to do to you… just like you said you're merely a concern mage and was passing by." Amon retorted back, the black haired mage clench his teeth to keep him from screaming and release his magic.
"Then could you please tell me… if the one who was screaming is one of your mages fighting each other if you're not really worried about other mages finding about this."
"Tell you?" Amon narrowed his eyes suspiciously. "Why would you care so much if you do not know who's screaming? It's not like you knew the mage my torturer is playing with."
SNAP!
Amon sighed and looks at Waru, but before the master could even say something, the air suddenly turn cold, colder than before, looking back at the black mage, his eyes widen when he saw some black sphere surrounding Zeref, whose patience finally snapped.
"You had your chance…" he said, before snapping his head up and glares at Amon. "WHERE'S MY BROTHER?!" and then he release it killing the mages surrounding him.
"L-l-Lord Zeref!" the short master stuttered, before looking at Waru. "Bring Surota and the young prince here now!" he ordered, smirking.
"Hai!" Waru shouted, before running away, Amon look back at Zeref and bowed at him.
"Lord Zeref, if you've introduced who you are at the very beginning… then I would tell you who was screaming." He said, pretending that he didn't know Zeref had a brother, said older brother growled.
"Cut the crap!" He roared, stepping forward towards the stairs. "I know you know that I have a brother, a mage and you know that, the mage I'm talking about is Natsu Dragneel!" he stop at the bottom of the stairs. "SO GIVE ME MY BROTHER BACK TO ME!" he bellowed glaring at Amon who smirks.
"Actually my lord, I think that's impossible… unless we have a deal…" he said, walking few steps down. "I will give your brother, in exchange you and I will form an alliance."
"An alliance?" Zeref's eyes narrowed. "You kidnapped my brother just to form an alliance?!"
"And to learn more about you my lord." Waru voice rang out, Zeref turn to the left and saw him standing at an open door. The dark mage narrowed his eyes when he saw a movement behind him and then Surota appeared, carrying something white over his shoulders.
"So how about it, my lord?" Amon asks, standing in front of Zeref, who glance at him and then looks at his brother.
"Let me see my brother first…" He said, glancing at Amon.
"Of course."
Surota click his tongue before stepping forward only to trip on one of the dead bodies of his fellow mage which resulted for the white thing, Natsu to be thrown and landed with a 'thump' a feet away from Zeref, who's eyes widen.
"Nat… su…" he said softly, not believing his eyes that the mage in front of him was his brother, who was once a strong and powerful mage, now a broken mage. The black mage, clenched his teeth painfully before stepping forward and cradle his brother. Ignoring the Akuma mages talking in the background.
"I told you to give the young prince to the lord gently!" Waru scolded, Surota scowled.
"It's Not my fault that there are dead bodies around us." He said, Amon sighed and walk towards them.
"Enough you two." He said before turning around and look at the Dragneel siblings. "Well, my lord you saw AND had your brother now it's time for you to give us your agreement for the alliance."
Zeref hugs his brother tightly, noting the way that his brother remain limp, even though his eyes are open.
'They did this to my brother just for the alliance? Unforgivable… unforgivable!' he snapped his eyes close before opening his mouth, a plan forming in his brain.
"First… gather all of you mages… I want to tell this to you… at once…" he said, Amon smirked, before nodding at Waru, who left immediately.
"Master…" Surota whispered. "Why did, Zeref agreed to the alliance? He look likes he didn't care that his brother is injured at all." Said master glance at him before looking at Zeref.
"We made a deal, that we will give his brother back to him and he will form an alliance with us… sometimes having a sibling is the only thing that will let you down." He stated and just as his finish it, Zeref stands up as well as all of the Akuma arrive at the hall, gasping at what they saw but Zeref ignored them and slowly lift his head up, his eyes close.
"We're all here my lord." Waru said, bowing.
"What's your name?" Zeref asks, referring to Amon.
"Amon, my lord." He answered, smugly. Zeref smiled.
"Amon…" he started, stepping forward. "Did you say that…HAVING A SIBLING WILL LET YOU DOWN!?" he bellowed, snapping his eyes open revealing his red eyes. Amon and the rest of the Akuma backs away, and watch as magic lifts Natsu up from his brother, who was carrying him bridal style. All of a sudden the doors close, followed by the window locking every possible exit they could use to escape from the enrage brother. Amon began to tremble and sweats, while Zeref glared at him.
"You don't know what it feels like to have a brother… you know NOTHING!" Zeref swipes both of his arms in a circular motion until the bottom of his hands meet. The hand on top has the index and middle fingers pointing upwards, while the other hand has the little and index fingers pointing downwards and the rest are close. While doing this, he is surrounded by a dark aura. The Akuma mage backs away from him.
"All of you! Use your magic! He's using the Death Pillar, he plan to kill us all!" Amon roared, the mages complied, and magic circles appear in front of them.
"Did you really think that I would make an alliance with you, when you… hurt my brother?!" Zeref shouted, the dark aura surrounding him and Natsu grows. "Big mistake… but your biggest mistake is for hurting my Brother!"
"It's your brother's fault for being a slut!" Surota said, and then everything froze. The dark aura that were surrounding the siblings shrink a little. Zeref wide eyes look at his brother before looking at the torturer.
"Did you… imply… that you raped… my brother…?" he asks slowly, his red eyes spinning. Surota swallowed and before he smiled, trembling.
"Yes… and he was so tight, that I thought it was my greatest experience ever…" he stated, smugly, trying to be brave and to show that he's not afraid of him. Zeref began to tremble and then suddenly the Dark Aura grow bigger and bigger.
"All the more reason… that I need TO KILL YOU!" and then the aura were released, spreading around the place hitting all of the mages who were pushed backward and hit the wall, killing them instantly. Amon, Waru and Surota backs away.
"W-wha…" Waru said, noticing that only the three of them were spared. They look around them before looking back at Zeref who began to laugh like a mad man.
"Don't worry, you'll be joining them… soon…" he look at them at the eyes and before they knew it blood came out from the nose, eyes, ears and mouth.
"GAHH!"
Zeref watch them wither as they suffered for minutes before the stop and died. He panted before looking at his brother, who was then covered in blood.
"Oh no!" he gasped out, running towards his brother and cradle him in his arms and open his kimono, he hissed at the wounds his brother received.
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…" Zeref said, repeating it like a mantra all the while releasing the spell that was cast on Natsu which was preventing him from using his magic after that began to heal the wounds making sure no scar is found or left at the tan skin.
"Ze… ref… nii…" Natsu gasped, making said brother to froze and look at him with wide eyes.
"Natsu?" he asks softly. "You… remembered?"
"Nii-san…" Natsu cried, tears escaping his eyes. "NII-SAN!" he then cried out hugging his brother who hugs him back tightly. They cried together, but when Zeref felt something wet behind Natsu he broke the hug and said.
"Reunion later okay? I need to heal your wounds." He said, Natsu nodded and let Zeref healed him. He was about to sleep again when he heard his name called by a certain blue cat.
"NATSU!"
(Fairy Tail Search Party)
The fairy tail mages walk at the forest using the same path that Zeref used, not that they knew that the dark mage was there.
"This place gives me the creeps." Cana said, hugging herself tightly, Mira nodded.
"Ah… this is surely the aura of a dark guild."
"What's wrong Wendy?" Lucy asks, catching the rest of the fairy tail mages attention. Said mage slowly look at them with a pale face.
"The winds… they're panicking…" she said and then the dragon slayers ears twitched.
"Hey… did you hear that?" Laxus asks, referring to Wendy and Gajeel who nodded.
"A scream…" Gajeel said. Wendy bit her lip, feeling like the scream is somehow familiar before she froze.
"This… scream is… Natsu-san!" She shouted before running ahead, startling the other before they followed.
"Oi! Are you sure it's Natsu's scream?!" Gray asks, Gajeel and Laxus nodded.
"Ah… It's him alright…" Gajeel said before looking at Wendy. "Wendy can you asks the winds what's happening to salamander?"
"Hai!"
They run and run until they reach the fork road and suddenly Wendy stops before blocking the rest by spreading her arms.
"W-wait…" she said, before stepping back the others look at her before they snap their head towards the right side of the fork road and felt a huge amount of Dark magic.
"NATSU!" Happy shouted before flying away from his guild mates, who cried out his name.
"Happy!" Wendy said before running after Happy.
(At Happy)
"Natsu!" he shouted happily clutching the muffler of his best friend before going full speed when he saw the castle. Upon arriving above the castle he noticed the broken door and windows, he then saw some shadow figures two of them hugging each other, and smiled when he recognize one of them.
"NATSU!"
(Dragneel siblings)
"Happy…" Natsu mumbled before looking up and immediately he had a crying blue cat in his arms. Zeref blink when he saw the cat before looking at Natsu who patted his eyes.
"Natsu!" Happy cried out before moving away from the hug and puts the muffler around Natsu's neck before hugging him again. Said fire mage look at the cat with wide eyes before hugging him back.
"Thank you Happy…" he said, then grabs the muffler and sniffed it. Happy look ups smiling at Natsu before it disappears, Zeref who was watching them notice the smiled disappearing before looking and Natsu's face and that's when he notice that his brother's eyes were dull, losing their usual color.
"Nat… su…" Zeref said, stepping forward and grabs Natsu's face. "Oh I'm so sorry…" he said, Natsu smiled but this smiled was nothing like the smile he remember when they were young.
"Zeref!" Happy suddenly shouted, said mage froze and look at the cat before hugging his brother.
"Happy…" the fire mage started, said cat look at him. "Will you stay by my side? No matter who I choose?" he asks, Zeref look down, while Happy's eyes widen before it turn into determination.
"I will always follow Natsu!" he said before glancing at Zeref then Nastu asking for an explanation. Natsu open his eyes but before any word could his escape from his mouth, the rest of the search party arrived outside.
"NATSU! HAPPY!"
Natsu look out before looking at his brother, who sighed and lift him up bridal style.
"Natsu…if… if they won't accept you… you know I'm here… right?" Zeref asks, Natsu nodded. The two of them knew that the fairy tail mages won't accept whatever relationship they had. With Zeref as a Dark mage and Natsu as E.N.D, things aren't going to get good. Zeref look at Happy before jerking his head towards his brother.
"Hop in his stomach, gently." He said softly, Happy eyes widen a bit before he nodded and complied.
'They said that Zeref is the worse mage there is… but why… why is he so kind and gentle to me and Natsu?' he thought as Zeref carried them outside where the fairy tail mages are standing. Said mages gasp when he saw him but mostly because of the state Natsu was in.
"Zeref… You… bastard…" Gray growled, clenching his fist. The others glared at the dark mage going into a fighting stance.
"Natsu-san!" Wendy shouted, noticing the Dragon slayer is awake.
"What did do to him Zeref?!" Erza asks, unsheathing her swords, the dragneel siblings merely look at them emotionlessly while Happy was trembling when he felt their hostile aura towards the black haired mage.
"Oi…" Laxus started, lightning began to surround him. "I'm giving you 10 seconds to let go of Natsu and Happy… if you don't, I'll kill you…" he threatened. Natsu eyes widen an inch when he heard the word 'kill' before looking at Zeref who shake his head.
"Why would I give him to you when you couldn't even protect him?" Zeref asks, stepping forward while dark aura surrounds him.
"Oni…" Natsu whispered so quietly that only Happy and Zeref heard, which made the latter to sigh and the aura was gone.
"You bastard… Natsu is our friend! So you have no right to decide whether you'll take him or not!" Gray shouted, the other began to protest, their noise however made Natsu whimper which they didn't notice.
"SILENCE!" The dark mage bellowed looking at them with his now red eyes. "Your protest is hurting his ears…" he growled the fairy tail mages look at their fire mage before biting their lip when they saw he was trembling.
"But…" Zeref started. "Are you sure you still want him? Even though… his related to someone you hate?" he asks slowly, he watch as their faces turn into confusion.
"What do you mean?" Mira asks.
"Natsu Dragneel… will you still accept him even if he's related… to me?" he asks, they froze before Cana chuckled nervously before pointing at Zeref.
"Natsu will never be related to you! You bastard you just want him for yourself! I bet you're the one who ordered those black mages to kidnapped—"
"Cana!" Natsu cut her, which made her to stop and look at him. "The mages who kidnapped me… are them…" he said jerking his head towards the Erebus Valdis guild and then they saw the dead dark mages.
"Natsu… what's going on?" Levy asks, Natsu sighed before tugging at his brother clothes, who lift Happy up from Natsu's stomach while he put him down to his feet gently and puts the blue cat on his head.
"I don't know…" Natsu said, Zeref glance at him before he steps forward and shield Natsu from their view.
"I asks you a question… will you still accept Natsu even when he's related to me?"
"Cut the crap you bastard! You're asking a pointless question! We will accept Natsu no matter what he is—"
"Even if he's my brother?" Zeref butt in, this revelation froze every one even Happy.
"B-brother?" Lucy started looking at Natsu, who was looking at the ground, before looking at Zeref. Erza gritted her teeth.
"CUT THE CRAP!" She shouted before requiping into her Heaven's Wheel Armor and then her swords began to form a circle.
"Circle Sw—!" she started only to step when Natsu steps in front of Zeref, who was looking at his brother with wide eyes.
"Natsu!" they all shouted, while Zeref steps forward before stopping when, said brother raise his hand.
"Yameru… Erza …. Minna…" he panted, Happy look down from his head and frown in concern when Natsu's face was pale and panting.
"It's true…" he said, they all back away from. "Zeref, the black mage we all know… is my brother… he's real name is Zeref Dragneel… I'm his brother…" he looks at them straight in the eye while tears fell down…
"Zeref Dragneel… is my brother…"

Thank you for waiting and Reading!
Oh in case you didn't read the A/N at the first part here it is again.
A/N: Stop! I'm sorry to be blunt here and I might offended you, and if I did I'm sorry about that but please before you could read some of the stories you're interested with, it would be better if you read the very first part of the story, like the Warnings or the A/N. We authors put some warning there for you to be aware of what might happen. I read some reviews and by reading those reviews I was right that none of you read the warnings or the A/N. please... please... next time read the warnings first before continuing or else you might regret it... i'm sorry once again if I offended you *bows*. and I would like to thank to those who read the warnings and are still continuing to read this... this story WILL NOT GO TO RATED M it will only remain on RATED T thank you!
Guys I'm really sorry if that offended you… thank you once again!
