Nico had fallen into the darkness all he could see now was Natsu' destruction and in his mind, he was saving his friends lives he was saving the world from this monster with the red eyes. He was saving his friends for the betrayal Natsu would unleash. Nico had no way of knowing that what the ghostly apparition shows him was long forgotten in the past and a Natsu that no longer existed.
Yes, Natsu was a demon but he had learned compassion he learned friendship and he was taught loyalty by a dragon that his former demons and a rogue dragon killed. But Nico did not know this all he saw was the death and destruction that Natsu was cable of.
Nico had a plan he was going to confront Natsu and his new "friends" would take care of the rest he could kill Natsu before he turned into a demon. Nico was back at his cabin getting ready for war he was putting on his black armor and picked up his obsidian sword. Then he faded into the shadows he had to do this perfectly if Natsu knew he was coming if he knew that Nico was on to him then his friends could get hurt and he could die he saw Natsu fight the god of war and that was in his "weakened" state he feared what his power would be like when he truly let loose.
"Are you ready son of Hades?" the ghostly voice said Nico nodded
"are you voices ready."
"yesss, when you let us in, we, will help you fight the Demon Lord." The voice said again Nico was deep in the forest at the aborted to the camp. Deep in his mind, he knew this was wrong but the control he was under and the dark images running through his head forced the thought down Natsu was the enemy and he had to die.
With Natsu
Natsu was with Leo, Percy, Jason, and Reyna they were talking and just overall having a good time until a dark feeling came over Natsu and the mark on his arm the last amount of power if father left him began to hurt like crazy.
"Natsu are you alright?" Leo asked and Natsu hissed and grabbed his banged arm.
"Natsu?" Percy asked stepping closer to Natsu
"I'm fine." He forced out
"I have been wondering about why you have your arm bandage is it an old wound?" Reyna asked as Natsu fought through the pain.
"no." was all Natsu said before they could ask more a new voice joined the mix
"Demon face me!" the three turned to face Nico in full battle armor and his sword in hand.
"Nico what are you doing?" both Percy and Leo asked
"I have seen the truth Natsu is a Demon of Tartarus he is here to kill us all!" he showed and charge Natsu before they could ask Natsu if it was true and at the same time Nico attack an army of monsters and demons came over the hill.
"what the hell!"
"how did they get in!" a couple of campers shouted as the rushed to pick up weapons Natsu was barely able to dodge Nico's attack as he was getting over the shock of the sons of Hades sudden action.
"Natsu is what he is saying true?" Leo said confused I hurt moping what was said not true.
"of course, it is true don't you think I would do this if there was any doubt in this demons' true nature!" Nico shouted and attacked Natsu again
"Leo some of it is true." He said sadly "but I wouldn't hurt you or this camp." He growled and pushed the son of hades back
"you are lying this was your plan all along to deceive us!" Nico shouted,
"well now is not the time we have an army heading this way they and we are really how numbered." Percy said Reyna had run off to collect her troops and try to warn the rest of the camp if they didn't already know what was happening.
"Nico, what are you doing why did you bring the monsters here into this camp your home?" Natsu asked as he dodged another attack from the black blade. He didn't want to fight Nico he just confused and didn't know the whole story. "did they do this to you?" he asked thinking that Nico could be being controlled but the demon forces.
"what are you saying Natsu; Nico let these monsters in?" Percy asked as he dodged an attack from one of the demons.
"we need to fall back and try to help fortify the camp," Natsu said as he drew a line of fire separating the army and the camp. The three ran for the building fights some of the monsters already there as the got to where all the other campers were Natsu blow all the monsters back behind his other fire line.
"what is going on!" many campers were shouting as they took this opportunity to get some armor on to better protect themselves.
"it is Nico he let them into the camp." Leo said Jason, Frank, Hazel, Piper, Annabeth, Reyne, and Chiron stared disbelieving at Leo
"it's true and he attacked Natsu." the group and other campers started at Natsu how was being uncharacteristically quiet as he stared at the firewall that he made as monsters and demon struggled to get tough
"my firewall is not going to last much longer." Natsu said,
"do you know what is going on Natsu?" Chiron asked Natsu turned to face the group with a sad look in his eyes.
"Nico said you were a Demon of Tartarus." The groups' eyes widened Natsu dipped his head in shame
"is that true?" Annabeth asked as they became on guard against Natsu
"yes, it is true I am a demon but I do not mean you any harm Nico is being controlled by one of those demons he let in they must have told him about the past me."
"why should we believe you?" Hazel asks
"now is not the time to be testing me but what I said is the truth I'm sorry I didn't tell you before but I was afraid how you would react." The group didn't have time to respond as Natsu wall of fire disappear and the camp began to fill with monsters from myth and demons from Natsu's world.
As the fight continued Natsu watched as the battle-weary campers tried to fight the never-ending army. The members of camp half-blood fought the losing battle with everything they had trying to defend their home the Romans fought to when this wasn't even their camp. This reminded Natsu of all the battles he fought with fairy tail and the other guilds. It was his fault the reason this fight was happening because of him just like Tartarus. And the thought that all these people that let him stay here feed him and tried to help him were going to lose their home because of him he began to get angry.
"Nico look around you is this what you wanted, is this how you wanted to destroy me by destroying your home in the process," Natsu said as he jested to the chaos around them
"I- no this wasn't supposed to be like this! I just wanted…"
"to kill me but in doing so you will kill all of them too is that what you want?" Natsu asked,
"no this is not right you are evil why, why are you…"
"Nico you are being controlled whatever you saw from a long, long time ago I have changed a lot since then you need to see that I end this fight." Natsu pleaded, trying to make Nico see what he was doing and it seemed to work as Nico backed away and stared on in horror at what he brought to the camp.
"I don't… I can't stop this."
"There are times when you can't help but give up, there are times when you lose confidence in yourself. But if you keep believing in yourself, you won't lose your confidence, you won't think about giving up, you will go out there and do what's right!" Natsu shouted that was what knocked Nico back to his senses
"stop this! This wasn't the plan!" Nico shouted to the demon in charge who just smiled
"no this was always the plan."
"And what was it that you were trying to do?" Natsu asked glaring at the demon
"it brings you back to your former glory lord END. And bring the reign of the gods to an end once and for all." He shouted happily Nico's eyes widen in shock.
"Nico, I have a plan but are going to have to trust me," Natsu whispered to Nico now that he was standing beside him and not against him.
Nico nodded "anything I am so sorry this is all my fault."
"we can talk about that later right now I need to get everyone to a safe place I will hold them off while you do."
"and what are you going to do they could kill you." Nico said,
"they wanted END I will give it to them." Natsu said with a dark look in his eyes "but I can't do anything while everyone is fighting now go!" Nico nodded he had a basic idea what Natsu was planning to do from seeing the demon everyone has been talking about in his dreams.
"Leo!" Nico yelled as he ran to do where many of the Hephaestus kids here working furiously setting traps and making weapons
"Nico what are you doing here?" Leo asked,
"look I am sorry I caused this but Natsu has a plan to stop it but we need to get everyone to a safe place and away from the battle."
"we could go to bunker nine it is fortified." One of the other campers suggested
"yeah but how do we all get there when everyone is fighting?" another camper said
"we could set something up as a quick distraction but everyone on our side would need to be aware of it so they don't get caught up in everything," Leo said with an idea forming in his head. "Nico, I need you to get Percy and Jason over here and worn as many campers as you can that they need be on the lookout of a single and when it comes to head to bunker nine." Nico nodded and ran to find the two demi-gods.
"Master END thinks of the possibilities you could have a whole new army at your command you could rule this world!" the shadow demon exclaimed was he waved his arms in the air.
"what if I don't really what to rule the world," Natsu asked as he continued to glare.
"well, then there would be another to take our place my master set this whole this in motion you just have to help him destroy the gods! And what better way to do that then thought their children and you."
"I do not take orders from anyone," Natsu growled out
"please don't tell me you plan to protect these humans?" the demon looked confused as to why a demon as powerful as Natsu would what to help such weak creatures "they know who you are; now do you think they will still except you once they know what you have done and what you are capable of? They were afraid of you for defeating a god what would they do if they saw your full power? This is why you are afraid to tell your friends at home."
"shut up! you know nothing" Natsu shouted,
"the humans fear us but we will worship you why do you continue to run away from who you were meant to be?"
"I don't run from anything I chose who I want to be and a monster is not one of them," Natsu shouted as he charged the shadow demon who dodged.
"For someone like you who possesses great mastery over the element of Destruction I have to say I am disappointed in you. Trained under the teachings of a dragon you still lack conviction to use your power to its full potential." The demon sighed as he punched Natsu in the gut.
"you can't defeat me in the state you have now you need to except you are a demon and the strongest one who ever lived this is who you are, END!" the demon shouted as a wave of magic hit Natsu full force sending him flying through the air he landed hard on the ground not far from where the demi-gods were trying to gather
"Natsu we are ready with our plan." Nico spoke over the chaos as Natsu got out of the ditch he created
"good you better do it soon I don't know how much longer I can hold back these guys are really pissing me off." Natsu said as he charges back into the sea of monsters. A few minutes later a huge storm was building courtesy of Percy and Jason as the storm was picking up speed you could see camper running to the open bunker doors then there was a huge flash which blinded most of the monsters, as the rest of the campers left.
"Natsu we are safe good luck!" Nico yelled as Natsu watched as the rest of the campers we heading to the bunker doors before they closed.
"Nico, do you think it is a good idea to leave Natsu out there all alone?" Annabeth asked not liking the idea
"trust me I think it would be best to stay hidden for what Natsu has planned" Nico said as they closed the bunker doors
Natsu smiled as he let his more demonic energy leak from his body, he began to transform into his demon form.
"I know what I am I am END!" black horns grew from his head his ears and teeth became more pointed large black and red wings shot from his back his flames became a darker red color and his eyes turned a dark murderous red.
"you wanted me now you got me!" END hissed his voice low and menacing many of the monster stepped back away from the demon lord as the demon cheered thinking that he was on their side oh how wrong they were.
In a matter of minutes every monster and demon were turned to ash as the sheer heat of Natsu's flames swept over the army
"wh-why mast-master?" a demon asked as Natsu walked by the dying demon
"you mad me very angry." Was the only reply as the demon faded to dust?
In the bunker
How do you think it going out there?" Travis asked as everyone was trying to stay quiet so they could hear what was going on but the doors were too thick so they couldn't hear the screams of the dying demons and monsters
"I don't know but the door is getting really hot," Leo stated as he put his hand on the door the heat didn't bother him but he was just wondering how much heat Natsu need to put off to have the heat come through the thick metal door.
"I am so sorry for this it was all my fault," Nico said his eyes downcast
"it wasn't your fault you were not in your right mind," Percy said and several other campers nodded in agreement.
"but it was my fault I knew something was off about Natsu and I was too desperate for answers that I- I listen to anyone that could provide me with some answers and… and what I saw was horrifying I thought the only way to stop Natsu was to kill him." Nico said not wanting to look at anyone in the eyes
"what exactly did you see?" Reyna asked Nico only shook his head
"war and what Natsu is truly capable of as the king of demons." The campers that didn't know Natsu's true self gasp
"Natsu's a demon?" someone said not really believing what they just heard Nico only nodded
"but he is so kind and funny?" another camper said
"Natsu said that he had changed that he wasn't that demon anymore but how could I have known that why did I not see this coming?" Nico shouted
"Nico calm down Natsu probably doesn't blame you for any of this and neither do we," Leo said
"Leo's right stop beating yourself up, everything is going to be ok." Percy said putting a hand on his shoulder
"of course, we might have to rebuild the entire camp again." Annabeth said as some people gave a small laugh and other groaned.
After what seemed like a knock sounded on the bunker door everyone fell silent and there was another knock a little louder this time.
"do you think it is Natsu?" Frank asked
"there is only one way to find out," Piper said as Leo, Jason, and Percy started to push the large doors open while everyone else got ready to fight if they had too. But to their relief, Natsu was the one standing in the door.
"did you win?" Leo asked Natsu just smiled when they walked back to camp, they saw that the ground was black and piles of ash covered the ground little fires still burned on the destroyed building. Everyone eyes were wide as they stared at the carnage in front of them and the at Natsu
"dude what did you do?" Percy asked
"I gave them what they wanted END," Natsu said plainly
"END?" hazel ask
"my demon self." Natsu said without hesitation "I am sorry I did not tell you guys before what I am part demon and part dragon, I thought you would hate me or fear me if you know and it is ok if you don't want anything to do with me after this." Natsu said he put his head down waiting for the shouting to start
"thank you for saving us" Chiron said putting a hand on Natsu shoulder Natsu head snapped up in surprised
"y-you are not afraid of me?" Natsu asked as he looked at everyone faces
"you saved us and without you, we might have lost our camp." Percy said,
"to tell you the truth you are pretty dangerous but I think you have earned our trust." Piper said with a smile
"I still have a lot of questions for you," Annabeth said as other campers nodded Natsu was surprised that they still like him after everything it made him think twice about telling fair tail who he really was these people still excepted him and they only knew him for a couple of weeks; his friends in fairy tail have known him for year could they still be friends with him ether know he is a demon he would hope so if he very got to go home.
"yes, I think you guys deserve anything you want I will try to answer any questions you have." Natsu said happily and with more confidence in his other side that he rarely shows."
Two weeks after the battle everyone was working hard to clean and rebuild camp half-blood the Romans left after a week and in all the spare time Annabeth would allow, they grilled Natsu for answers on everything about his world about his and his friends and his past and he was happy to answer them. He thought this was good practice for when he told fairy tail or if he would tell them.
One day he was walking in the woods that Leo found him in which seemed so long ago. Natsu was walking with Leo, Nico, and Percy when all of a sudden, a black hole opened up and Natsu was sucked in back to his world but before he was swallowed by the darkness, he shared one glance at his new friends and said one last thing.
"thank you." He didn't hear their response if there was one before the darkness consumed him.
"Natsu!" he heard a voice calling out to him as he struggled to open his eyes
"Natsu!" he heard a different voice calling out his name he opened his eyes to see Lucy, Erza, Gray and happy standing over him he sat up and groaned
"uhgg," Natsu said as the familiar pain filled his head
"Natsu are you alright what happen," Erza asked in a worried and strict tone. Natsu took a second to look around they were in the same clearing he was in before he was sent to the other world and his friends all looked the same, in fact, everything looked the exactly the same as it was before he left.
"how long-"
"you were gone for almost two hours," Lucy said Natsu eyes widened two hours he was gone for almost a month now? He shook his head he didn't what to think about it hurt his head anymore.
"what happened to you?" Gray asked,
"you wouldn't believe me if I told you; just know that I made some new friend I and I made it back home." Natsu said giving his friend the biggest smile he could make
"well then we should get home ourselves." Erza said as they headed back to the guild.
