"So this is Perim?" Acnologia said as he stood at the top of a cliff and looked out at all he could with Siegfried and Drevex.

"Yes, Master Acnologia." Drevex said. "Much has changed since we both were sealed away. Might I add that it's great to see you again."

"I can see all that." Acnologia said. "You've done well, Siegfried. I can see I was right to trust a human with such things."

"I only did what you asked me to." Siegfried said. "With my help, you're going to reach more than you could ever imagine." Acnologia inhaled the air and took it all in.

"It's been so long since I've been locked away. I can't wait to start again." Acnologia said. Acnologia started as he unleashed an attack that had energy rain down on the location with multiple explosions going off. Acnologia is bringing on destruction and this is only the start.

...

Chaotic

Natsu and the others were there when they saw Acnologia was released. When they did, they got a glimpse of his power and it was hard to imagine a creature that powerful and could be that dangerous.

"So what are we going to do?" Lucy said. "We were entrusted to keep those crystals safe and we've failed. Now that beast is on the lose."

"I'm not sure there's really anything we can do." Zach said. "Siegfried thought of everything and there's no way we could take something like that on. We only get in the way. Besides, maybe things aren't as bad as we think. So one more creature is out in Perim. So what?"

"No. Igneel seemed concerned about that creature getting out." Erza said. "If what Igneel told is accurate, this could be worse than we think."

"The part I don't understand is Siegfried himself." Lucy said. "Acnologia was Drevex's old master, but how does Siegfried himself fit into this? He also has a scan of Acnologia. We saw it BEFORE Acnologia was free. How could that be?"

"You're right. This is quite perplexing. Now that Acnologia is free, what is he going to do?" Erza questioned.

"Natsu, what do you think about all of this?" Zach asked.

"I say who cares?!" Natsu shouted and actually caught the attention of a few people. Lucy acted quickly covered his mouth.

"Keep it down." Lucy said. "We don't know enough about what's going on. We can't cause a panic or who knows what might happen."

"Not to mention other players might put themselves in danger to try and get a scan of Acnologia." Erza said. "Clyde and Krystal were willing to help Siegfried out just for a few scans. Who knows who else might do something so rotten just for that." Natsu pushed Lucy off so he could speak.

"I still say who cares." Natsu said. "We need to get out there and do something."

"Natsu, what can we really do?" Zach questioned. "All we could do was try to keep that seal from breaking and we failed at that. There's not much more we can do. We can't fight against actual creatures. We'll be crushed."

"So what?" Natsu said as he stood straight up. "I can't just sit here and do nothing. I'm heading for Perim to try and figure some things out." Natsu headed out and the others felt bad for him, but there didn't seem to be much they could do. At least they couldn't. Gray overheard some of their conversation and seemed a little concerned.

"Sounds like something's going on and the hothead is going to try and solve it." Gray said. He didn't get what was going on, but he planned to find out.

...

Underworld City

"This is starting to be a boring day." Chaor said as he stood on the balcony of his castle and stared down at the city. "I actually wish something would happen." Chaor got his wish as he heard something. He looked around and saw lights going off in the distance of the city. "What is that?"

"Chaor!" He looked to the sky and saw Takinom flying over. "Chaor, we just received reports of an attack and is heading towards the city."

"By who?!" Maxxor said.

"I'm not sure. The identity of this creature is unknown, but some say they saw Drevex with him." Takinom said.

"Wait. Drevex is there, but you're saying this is all the work of one creature?" Chaor questioned. "Rally some troops and let's see what's going on." Takinom flew off to get some soldiers, but Chaor has no idea what he's in for. Meanwhile, Natsu ported in the city.

"Maybe I should try and get some scans." Natsu said. "I've got to do something to clear my head." Natsu walked down the road, but he looked ahead as he heard something. He saw a squadron of underworld soldiers on the move with Chaor leading them. "Chaor?" Natsu was curious as to what was going on. He hurried to a building and climbed up it to get a better look as to what was going on. He made it to the top and could see the explosion of lights going on. "That can't be good." Natsu took out his scanner and tried to find a location near there so he can go ahead and check it out.

...

Acnologia

Acnologia was a walking disaster. He brought sheer destruction. As he flew into the air, he was bringing senseless destruction to everything that he saw.

"It feels good to destroy once more." Acnologia said.

"Master!" Drevex called. "I just spotted a squadron of underworlders in the distance! They'll be here soon!"

"Good." Acnologia said. "A good way to get a nice workout after being locked away for so long." Acnologia was looking forward to this. Meanwhile, Natsu ported in the mountains and was trying to see where the explosions went off. He looked around and saw some of the destruction that went on around here.

"Yikes. What happened here?" Natsu said. Natsu had a look around. As he looked around at the destruction, he took a look at the sky and spotted Acnologia in the air as he flew over. "Acnologia!" Natsu went after him to check it out. Acnologia was flying over to the underworlders and met them halfway. As the underworlders were on their way, Chaor spotted Acnologia and ordered his troops to stop.

"What do we have here?" Chaor said.

"You all are underworlders?" Acnologia said. "You don't look that impressive to me."

"Who might you be?" Chaor said.

"I am Black Dragon of the Apocalypse: Acnologia."

"Am I suppose to be scared? I've never heard of you." Chaor said.

"You should be scared Chaor!" Chaor looked to the side and spotted Drevex as he arrived.

"Drevex! You've got some nerve to come back to my city!" Chaor shouted.

"You're not as intimidating as you might think, Chaor. Remember how I told you about my master?" Drevex said. "You're looking right at him." Chaor turned his eyes to Acnologia, but he didn't appear scared.

"He doesn't look so tough. This shouldn't take long." Chaor said. "Open fire! Take both of them out!" His soldiers took aim with their weapons and opened fired on Acnologia. All those attacks came at him and Drevex was a bit concerned. Natsu arrived just in time to see those fireworks go off.

"What's happening?!" Natsu said. The attacks kept going and Chaor thought he had it.

"Hold your fire!" Chaor ordered. The attacks stopped and they waited to see the damage they did. They all waited for the smoke to clear, but they saw Acnologia was still in the air and he didn't appeared injured.

"Was that suppose to hurt me?" Acnologia questioned. Chaor and the others were shocked that Acnologia took all that, but Drevex was glad.

"Okay. Maybe he's tougher than I thought." Chaor said.

"I'm much stronger than you might think." Acnologia said. "You have no idea how powerful I really am! There is no one that is a match for me! Lightning Burst!" Acnogolgia unleashed lightning and blasted the squadron with the attack and caused great destruction from just a single attack.

"You want to play rough?! Let's play! Attack!" Chaor ordered. They kept the attacks going, but Acnologia flew around and launched attacks of his own and was taking them all down.

"Oh man! This is nuts!" Natsu said. 'Wait a minute. When I battled Siegfried, almost nothing I used worked against Acnologia. It must be the same here. Not good.' He thought as he saw this go on. Acnologia was taking on these underworlders all by himself...and winning. "Chaor has no idea what he's up against." Natsu stood there and watched, but one attack hit the cliff he was standing on and caused him to fall.

"Gotcha ya!" Someone grabbed his arm and saved him from falling. Natsu turned around and spotted Gray.

"Gray? What are you doing here?" Natsu said.

"Keeping you from getting into trouble." Gray said as he pulled him to safety. "What the heck is going on? What is that thing?"

"Long story." Natsu said. As he was filling Gray in on what's going on, Acnologia continued the attack and Chaor's soldiers dropped like flies.

"That does it! Try this! Skeletal Strike!" Chaor unleashed his skeleton at Acnologia, but Acnologia knocked it away.

"Is that all you got?" Acnologia said. He unleashed an attack and blasted Chaor with it and knocked him down. Chaor was able to get back up, but he couldn't believe his power.

"Let's see how you deal with mugic!" Chaor said as he took out a piece of mugic. "Roar of the Mob!" Chaor used mugic and it came down on Acnologia, but Acnologia flew through the mugic and it didn't affect him at all. "No way! Mugic didn't work on him either?!"

"Power Punch!" Acnologia unleashed another attack and Chaor got hit really hard from the attack.

"That's crazy!" Gray said. "You're saying this Siegfried unleashed that thing?!"

"You can say that again. Whatever Acnologia is, he's not someone to be messed with." Natsu said. "We've got to do something." He was going to go down there, but Gray stopped him from doing anything.

"Don't be crazy. You would be crushed in less than a second if you go in there." Gray said.

"But we've got to do something." Natsu said.

"I'm not sure there's anything we can do." Gray said and Natsu hated it. The underworlders kept the attack going, but Acnologia was practically crushing them.

"Not much has changed as I thought. The tribes are still weak." Acnologia said. He thought he had this, but the ground began to shake and he looked to see a giant robot walking over.

"You're in trouble now. Let's see how you go against a gigantrooper." Chaor said. The robot unleashed an energy blast, but Acnologia flew up in the air and avoided it. It fired missiles as well, but Acnoglogia was able to avoid that as well.

"Better, but not good enough!" Acnologia said as he build energy in his claws and unleashed a powerful attack at the robot. It burrowed right through and completely crushed the robot. Chaor and the others were shocked to see that happen with just one attack. "Is this really all the underworlders have to offer?" Acnologia completely desolated them. No one, but Drevex could believe it.

"What are you?" Chaor said.

"I am the embodiment of chaos and destruction. A raging dragon that has no limits." Acnologia said. "I'll let you live this time, but only because I don't see the point in killing something so weak. My destruction will continue and that Perim and much more will suffer my wrath." Acnologia flew off with Drevex going after him.

"What a monster." Gray said.

"You can say that again." Natsu said. This wasn't good at all and this is only the beginning.

...

Underworld City

The injured troops were taken back to Underworld City and they were all being treated. The damaged battlegear was being repaired and much more. Chaor just couldn't believe one creature was able to do all this.

"I don't know who that guy was, but I'll tear him apart for this." Chaor said. Natsu and Gray went back to Underworld City and saw all that happened.

"I can't believe this really happened. How could one creature do this?" Gray said.

"Easily from the looks of it." Natsu said. He couldn't stand seeing this and knew something needed to be done, but he didn't know what he could do.

"Chaor! Chaor!" All of them looked and saw Ulmar running towards them and he looked pretty upset.

"What is it Ulmar?" Chaor said.

"I'm afraid we might have a problem. A human came by my castle earlier today." Ulmar said. "He swiped some of my equipment and if he gives those to the wrong creature, we could be in real trouble."

"A fellow player stole some of Ulmar's equipment? Who would do that?" Gray said.

"Siegfried! It had to be him!" Natsu said.

"But why would he do that?" Gray said. Natsu didn't have the answer to that and it's not good. Those three clearly have something planned that could ruin the lives of so many. If something isn't done, Perim could be in great danger.
