A/N: Hey guys i'm sorry it has been a little while since I uploaded a Natsu the Reaper last. I was preoccupied with exams and writing Dawn Star, which I will be rewriting the first chapter after the exams.
I know I said I wasn't going to post another Natsu the Reaper for a while but I had this one mostly typed up already.
Read. Review. Favorite. Follow for more
Feedback and criticism needed and wanted
2000 readers. Woohoo. Thanks for the support
This story takes place in an alternate universe, where Acnologia didn't attack during the Tartarus arc and the dragons were not inside the dragon slayers.
Natsu
"Natsu, of Fairy Tail?" asked one Kama, leader of the Garou Knights of Fiore. Natsu nodded once but did not speak. "I take it you know what is happening?" Kama asked. Natsu nodded once again. 'Something seems different about the usually loud Salamander of Fairy Tail' Kama thought to himself.
As if reading his mind, Atlas spoke up. "Natsu is just not feeling great after hearing the news." Kama nodded his understanding. 'There's still something off here' Kama thought so he kept a close eye on Natsu. They got on the train then began their journey towards Fairy Tail and Magnolia.
Erza
"Why isn't there anyone here?" Erza demanded. Hades had pointed them to this exact place. Gajeel sniffed the air. "He was here and so was Zeref." Wendy agreed. "Damn it, have we lost him?" Gray said. "No, Zeref is still near here." Gajeel added.
"Where is he?" Erza yelled. Everyone else flinched. Erza glanced around the empty room. Zeref's form materialized from the darkness. "I must commend you dragon slayers on your noses." He said. "We are not here for compliments. Where is Natsu? And what have you done with him?" Erza asked deadly serious.
Silence followed, aside from the whistling of the wind. "If you don't speak now, I will make you." Erza said threateningly. Zeref turned to her. A blast of black energy hit her in the chest and she flew backwards and hit the wall. Gray and Gajeel jumped into action. "Ice Make Hammer" "Iron Dragon's Roar" The attacks didn't even faze Zeref.
Pantherlily had gone human form and swung his sword at Zeref. The blade was deflected by a wall of black shadows. Then Lily got hit unconscious. Gajeel took a blast to the face and feel to his knees. "Ice Make Shield." Gray said. The shadows hit the shield, shattering it completely.
"I am the closest being to the one magic and you dare challenge me! Zeref the Black Wizard." He began laughing hysterically. Then several attacks hit him at once. "Ice Make Lance." "Iron Dragon's Sword." "Sky Dragon's Roar" "Rainbow Fire" "Scorpio" "Requip Nakagami Armor" Zeref was engulfed in dust.
The laughter was heard as the dust settled, and they all seen Zeref completely unharmed. "Fools. I will now unleash an attack that will scar you forever, assuming you survive that is." He said stepping forth, he pointed both arms towards the six wizards and three exceed. "Unholy Light, Darkness Engulfment" The attack destroyed all of the surrounding area and threw the wizards against the far end of the cavern.
Gajeel, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Romeo, and Erza were lying on the ground seemingly unconscious. The three exceed were nowhere to be seen. Zeref walked over to where the Fairies lay. "I might as well get you out of my way now." He raised his arms again. Then lowered them as he seen them all standing up.
Gajeel pulled Lucy to her feet. Romeo and Wendy helped each other stand up. Erza and Gray stood up using the wall. Once they were on their feet, they stopped supporting each other. "We are doing this for Natsu, so nothing is going to kill us that easy." Erza said. Zeref grinned.
"That's what I expected. Natsu came to see me." Zeref said as his form began to melt into the shadows again. "I told him to go to Saedrena Island. That's where the dragon's meet. On July the 7th they meet." Then Zeref was gone. "I can't smell him anymore." Gajeel said.
"What did he mean the dragon's meet there?" Wendy asked. "And why would Natsu want to go there?" Gray asked. "To do what he was raised to do, slay the dragons" Erza replied. The other five wizards stared at her in shock. "They raised him, he loves those dragons as much as he loves us." Lucy said. "We are lucky he hasn't hurt us. He was hit with emotion manipulation which means those he holds closest to him will be his enemies." Erza explained.
"That is why we have to stop him. So he doesn't do something he will regret" Erza said. The rest of the group nodded their agreement. "So I guess we will be heading to Hargeon." Erza said. "Let's stop at the guild on the way back" Gray suggested. "Good idea."
Guild
"I thank you for coming to our aid." Makarov said to the executioners of Crocus, and the Crime Sorciere guild. "Anything for this guild we will do." Jellal said. "I am sorry, we had Natsu with us but he seems to have disappeared." Kama said. "Well that's a surprise, the boy is under some sort of spell, he can't control his emotions." Makarov explained. 'That explains that.' Kama thought 'But who was the other guy?' He wondered.
"We are up against a very powerful enemy, They have gone equal to Laxus and Mirajane, Jura and even Lyon. They have kidnapped Chelia and made enemies of every wizard in Fiore." He told the assembled helpers.
Between Crime Sorciere and the kingdom of Fiore executioners Makarov felt they may have a chance. "There are thirteen strong wizards and some weaker ones as well, then there is the leader as well. We believe that there is someone who is higher up and pulling the strings coordinating the attack. Therefore if we find him take him out. But our first priority is to save Chelia." Mavis explained.
"If we save her then she can restore our stamina and heal us." Makarov said. All the assembled members nodded knowing how she had the god slaying magic, and it's restorative powers. "Don't worry about it we will take down these guys." Jellal said.
Makarov sighed. He never fully believed that friends, comrades, dark wizards, royal mages and those who were enemies but are now fighting for a good reason, would band together in times of need.
A look around the guild showed who was still able to fight. Laxus was limping around, but attempting to make it look like he could still fight. Rogue had been put out of action and had nearly been killed but was rescued by Minerva who was also injured. Jura and Orga were down.
Lyon was the only member of Lamia Scale unharmed, Sting and Rufus had been injured slightly and they were the only ones who were able to fight. Makarov himself had been injured.
"Hell fire and Shadow, Propulsion, Night, Day, Bardic Performance, Manipulation, Iron manipulation, requip, Ice and Water god slaying, gravity, mind force, elemental and lastly puppeteer magic. These are your enemies." Mavis said.
"Don't worry, we shall defeat them for you." Jellal said. At this point and time, all those associated with Fairy Tail as friends could see Mavis Vermillion the founder of Fairy Tail. The wizards who had come to help their friends prepared for battle.
Laxus limped forward. "We will take these enemies and show them the power of the Fiore wizards." He said. Sting grinned. Rufus and Lyon glanced at each other a smile on their faces.
"This time we will show them no mercy. They messed with Fairy Tail! They messed with us all!" Jellal called.
"Okay! Let's go and show them the full might of Fiore wizards." Laxus said as he began to limp out the door.
"Let him go master." Freed said.
The mages reached the central courtyard of the town. It was here that they encountered the unlucky thirteen. "There's more of you guys." A black haired man said. Sting glared at him.
"You hurt Rogue." He said. The man grinned. "I am Soul, leader of the thirteen. I nearly killed your "friend" if it weren't for that interfering female.
"Soul. Should we really be infuriating them?" The tall man next to him said.
"Deycartes, I want at least one fired up battle." The man nodded.
Jellal turned to the other wizards. "Pick a wizard and do your best to take them down!"
Kama headed towards Byron who was a large stockily built man. Sting engaged Soul. Laxus went for Deycartes. Jellal goes for a blonde man. Cobra attacks another. And so on and so forth.
"Heavenly Body Magic." Jellal said. The man he was fighting was knocked unconscious. The gravity mage Isaac had no chance against the powerful magic.
"Ice Make Bear!" Lyon called. He took down his opponent a seith magic user that can use wizards. Lyon had defeated him whilst Rufus was attacking Lyon. Rufus now free turned on another of the thirteen. Lyon fell back was fighting an element wielding mage.
Courtneal the propulsion wizard had received an arm, made of darkness and was using it to fight Cobra. Another wizard who mind force magic which played with people's minds and changed sense like causing fear and lack of will power was facing Meredy. A wizard with body enhancement magic and requip was attacking Ultear.
The kingdoms executioners had teamed up to take down the manipulation magic wizard. They didn't know it was the same one who cursed Natsu. They defeated him using a lot of their power.
"These guys are tough." Kama said. He saw Crime Sorciere and Sting, Laxus and Rufus holding their own. The elemental wizard took down Rufus and Kama grabbed him out of there. They backed away with Lyon. Leaving Jellal, Meredy, Ultear, Midnight, Hoteye and Angel fighting the other wizards that weren't preoccupied.
Deycartes grinned at Laxus. "I am trying not to kill you." He said. Laxus ignored him.
"Water Gods Tidal Wave." A massive wave of water engulfed Laxus. "I ain't done yet." Daycartes added. "Ice Gods Geyser." The water froze. No-one could see Laxus. The ice exploded from Laxus who had entered a rage mode state similar to dragonforce. Lightning crackled around him.
"Lightning Dragon's Thundering Punch!" Laxus said taking down Deycartes. Now there were nine
"You took down four of the thirteen?" Soul said as Sting and him paused from their battle. "Shall I introduce you to each member? I am Soul, Hell-fire user. We have Deycartes, water and ice God slayer. Isaac-gravity mage. Byron-manipulation mage. Xanis-Puppeteer mage. Ocarina-mind force magic. Elementum-elemental mage. Fruetil-enhancement and requip mage. David Wright the Drunken Bard. Risperto-iron manipulation mage. The twins Mercury and Venus-the night and day mages. And Courtneal-the propulsion mage."
"That's a massive hint to help us beat you!" Jellal said as he went into his magic state.
"Heavenly body magic!" Ocarina went down. Then Jellal was hit by a blast of soul fire sending him staggering.
"Memory Make; Karma of the Burning Earth." Elementum went down. But Rufus was hit a blast of light. Laxus, Sting, Cobra. The three dragon slayers stood facing the remaining seven. Cobra took down the drunken bard with a fast attack. He is hit by a blast of shadows. Everyone else was wounded. So they retreated back a bit.
"Let me take them on." Frunetil said. "Sting. Let's combine our attacks." Laxus said.
"Okay." The two grinned and breathed in.
"Light Dragon's…"
"Lightning Dragon's…"
"ROAR!" The Light seemed to join the lightning and a blinding light exploded. Everyone shielded their eyes. Frunetil, Risperto, and Courtneal had all been knocked unconscious. To everyone's dismay Soul and the twins had survived.
"I am a merciful man, and generous too. I will let you return to your guild. Although in the end you will all die anyway. Rest and try and defeat us when you are at full strength." Soul said.
"No!" Laxus said. The other injured people had turned to leave and Sting had thought about it for a minute. "I will fight you until the end. You come here and take our friend. Now you threaten my family and expect me to run away with my tail between my legs? I don't think so. You and me. Let's fight." Laxus said. Sting leaned over to whisper in his ear.
"This is what he wants. Eat some of my Light and you might be able to beat him." Laxus nodded slowly and Sting produced Light which Laxus gobbled up.
"Thanks. Now get back. This is my fight." Sting obliged moving away. He watched as Laxus supercharged into dragonforce mode with multi-dragon slaying magics.
"Light-Thunder Dragon's Searing claw." Soul staggered from the attack.
"Hellish Rebuke." Fire now surrounded Soul.
"Light-Thunder Dragon's Blinding Shock." The attack burnt away before hitting Soul, but the fire around him decreased.
"Hell's Target." Fireballs formed in the sky and began to shoot at Laxus. He took each one. He was already injured and that attack only added a little more so.
"Light-Thunder Dragon's Roar!" Laxus said hoping to end it. Soul was flung backwards the spell had wiped out his "Hellish Rebuke." And now left him vulnerable.
"Hells' Gate!" Soul was not done for yet. A gate appeared in front of Laxus and he was yanked inside. The gate and him disappeared.
"Where is he!" Sting yelled.
"He is seeing his future and what awaits him in Hell." Soul replied. The gate appeared again and Laxus fell out, sprawling to the ground.
"Now I know what I need to do to finish you off." Laxus said as he stood up.
"Lightning Storm!" A thunderbolt shot down and exploded in the ground over to the right.
"You missed." Soul said unimpressed.
"No I hit my mark." came the reply. Soul looked towards the right. Three seconds later he looked back and saw the injured all leaving.
"I will let you go. Remember rest up because next time I will have to kill you!"
Venus and Mercury were looking at Soul.
"Do you know what he meant by that?" Soul asked them.
"I do." came a new voice. Soul spun to see an uninjured pink-haired man. "He hit me. I was his mark." the man added.
"Mercury, Venus take him out." Soul said.
Injured fighters
Sting held Laxus up. The older man was terribly wounded, and was having difficulty walking. Laxus looked at Sting.
"He's our only hope now."
"If anyone can beat them it's you Natsu…"
Natsu
"Are you too afraid to fight me?" Natsu said.
"I do not need to waste magic power on you." Soul replied.
"Shadow Blade!"
"Light Blast!"
Natsu dodged the attacks.
"Fire Dragon's Claw!" Mercury went down.
"Sun judgement: Obliteration!" Natsu was engulfed by a pillar of yellow light.
"This tastes a little like fire." He said.
"That's the flames of the sun…" Venus said in disbelief.
"Fire Dragon's Sun strike." Venus went down. "Fight me now, Soul."
"Very well, boy!" The man replied. "Hell Inferno."
"Fire don't work. I can eat all flames." Natsu replied as he tried to gobble up the flames. Soul grinned.
"That is the fire that eternally tortures the dead." Soul said as Natsu's insides began to burn. He bent double clutching his stomach. Soul approached him and formed a dagger out of the Hellfire. Natsu stood back upright.
"Sorry mister. Was just congesting Lightning, Hellfire, Fire mix is not good."
"Hell-Fire Dragon's Claw attack!' Soul flew backwards.
"That is the last straw!" Soul yelled. "This attack has never been countered. Are you ready to be burnt alive?"
"Hellfire Blaze of Fire!" The spell caused Natsu to be engulfed in flames. The flames did not disappear. Natsu could not eat it. He dropped to one knee. Images of his life flashed in his mind. It stopped on the guild photo. Natsu, Erza, Lucy. Gray, Wendy, heck even Gajeel." Natsu began to go into Dragonforce mode. 'I have to do it for them.' The hellfire began to become part of Natsu's dragonforce.
"Fire Dragon's Secret Technique! Fire Dragon's Crimson Lotus Blade." Soul was knocked against a wall. Foam bubbling in his mouth.
"You are an enemy of Fairy Tail. I am not a generous man when you've threatened my family. I will stop you here." Natsu said as he pulled the sword from Frunetil. Atlas was about to leap out from behind the building where he and Natsu had hid behind. The sword vanished. Another wizard stepped forward. Natsu turned to him.
"Who are you?" He asked
"I am your demon. I am you."

Next update will be in a week (dependant on how much free time I have to type it up.)
I got tired of making the attacks in bold so they are going to be normal writing from here on out.
