Next chapter of Fire vs. Ice. Enjoy!
"Fire Dragon King's Exploding Flame Edge!" Natsu swings a vortex of fire that makes contact with the ice mage.
"Everyone stay back! This fight is between me him!" Natsu yelled out.
"Got it! But if he does anything life threatening, I'll jump in and help!" Lyon exclaimed.
"Fair enough." That what was Natsu noticed that Gray got back on his feet.
"Damn you Gray! Why don't you just stay on the ground!" Natsu yelled as he charged in and started punching Gray with his Iron Fist attack.
"Same to you bastard!" Gray countered with his ice devil slayer magic.
"Ice Devil Death Storm!" Gray created a tornado made of ice that was red due to him bleeding. The attack was enough to destroy part of the ceiling.
"Fire Dragon King's Brilliant Flame!" Natsu unleashed a powerful ball of fire that incinerated the tornado and practically destroyed the dungeon.
"Eat this pyro freak! Ice Devil's Zeroth Geyser!" Gray punches the ground and creates several geysers that hit the fire mage but didn't do much damage to him since some of the ice melted.
"Fire Dragon King's Phoenix Blade!" Natsu was enveloped in red flames and charged right at the ice mage. The attack sent Gray flying towards a wall and caused Gray to bleed heavily from the impact.
"All right, this means war! Ice Devil's Zeroth Blade!" Gray created a red ice sword that the ice mage channeled his energy through and sliced the fire mage several times.
"Is that the best you can do? Take this! Fire Dragon King's Incinerase!" Natsu channels most of his fire magic and blasts Gray with a powerful surge of fire that practically burned parts of his skin.
(The words incinerate and erase are used together in case anyone is confused about the name of the attack)
The ice mage could barely stand up after being hit with an intense attack. But he was determined to kill Natsu and steal Lucy.
"That's it! Ice Devil: Unlimited!" This was an enhanced version of the attack that he used on Rufus as Gray puts both hands behind his back, right on top of the left, in the usual Ice-Make stance, as ice begins to emit from his palm. With remarkable shaping speed, a vast amount of giant swords are created, all made of red (blood) ice in various shapes and sizes. These weapons are connected by a large chain of ice that spirals around the user several times with the blades pointing outwards.
"Die! Armageddon Death Dance!" Gray then swings one arm forward and one backwards, sending the gigantic chain of weapons towards the target, freezing the area around the target. Unfortunately for the fallen ice mage, the attack did not touch Natsu, as he revealed the other tattoo he had on his left arm and swung it.
"Fire Devil's Inferno Slash!" That one attack was enough to melt every single weapons that Gray fired. The ice mage was surprised to see a similar devil mark on the fire mage.
"Where did you…?"
"I got it from my older brother…" Natsu said quietly before remembering what happened two months after he fought the Key-Maker.
FLASHBACK
"You managed to kill me. Thank you, my younger brother." Zeref said while tearfully smiling.
"I honestly don't care if you believe me about us being brothers, but I do care about you Natsu. So let me give you this gift, as my way to say thank you." The black mage raised his hand and a burst of light appeared on the fire mage's left arm.
"This is the power of E.N.D's fire devil slayer magic. You will need it in a future battle. Trust me. That, and because the Key-Maker split you and E.N.D apart, you will not die. Take care Natsu." He said while waving goodbye.
"Thanks. Brother…" Natsu said while giving the black mage a thumbs up. Zeref smiles widely and disappears."
END OF FLASHBACK
"Just like you, I have Devil Slayer Magic. But because this magic was originally mine when in the past I was once E.N.D, I have total control of the magic. I'm not like you, I'm not being consumed by rage. The only problem, I can only use it just this once after unleashing it. So I will use the most of it to finish you off Gray. You tried to hurt my wife, and you tried to rape Gemini while she was Lucy, your actions are unforgivable." Natsu says before charging in.
"Fire Dragon King's Demolition Fist! And Fire Devil's Volcanic Punch!" Natsu's volcanic punch was as powerful as the demolition fist but it burned Gray's shirt off and burned half of the ice mage's face.
"AAAHHH!" Gray screamed in pain as he felt his face burn.
"Fire Devil's Rage!" Similar to the Fire Dragon's Roar, this breath attack was more intense since Natsu filled the attack with his anger.
"Amazing. Is that really Natsu?" Juvia asked, astonished at how powerful Natsu is.
"That's Natsu all right." Gemini said.
"Everyone! Get out of here! I'm about to finish this!" Natsu yelled as his devil tattoo glowed an eerie red.
"Natsu…Understood! Everyone! Let's get out of here!" Gemini yelled out. All the mages left but not before taking the bodies of Jerome, D-6, and Briar whom they fought and won easily due to numbers and evacuated the building. Once he made sure that there was no one in the building besides he and Gray, Natsu ignited both his fists on fire.
"This is for Lucy! This is for trying to hurt the one I love you monster! Fire Devil's Absolute END!" Natsu channels all the remain magic energy he had into this one attack and fired a powerful attack that completely obliterated the whole base.
"NOOOO!" Gray yelled as his whole body was consumed by the raging heat of Natsu's attack. When the smoke cleared, all that remained was Natsu and Gray laying unconscious in a crater.
"Natsu!" Everyone yelled out. The fire mage managed to get up but Lyon and Juvia helped him walk. As for Gray, Sherry & her cousin Chelia detained Gray by using anti-magic cuffs. From there, Toby and Yuka carried the unconscious mage to where Erza and the others were.
With Erza
The assault team defeated the War God and apprehended all the members of Avatar except for Arlock who escaped during the fight. Natsu's team had arrived on the scene and laid Natsu down on the ground and allowed Chelia to heal the fire mage.
"Wake up traitor!" Erza yelled and slapped Gray in the face, waking him up. He opened his eyes and saw that the Magic Council Army was surrounding him.
"You are hereby under arrest. You are sentenced to life in prison." One soldier said while placing restraints on the ice mage.
"Come on! In the carriage! Now!" Another soldier yelled. That was when Gray noticed the fire mage on the ground.
"This isn't over! You hear me! This is not over!" Gray yelled and Jura smacked his head hard and knocked him unconscious.
"He's right. Until the Magic Council can remove his two ice magic from him, he is still dangerous." Jura whispered to Hyberion.
"Agreed. Nevertheless, the Council army will make sure that he stays in prison." Jura nodded and used his Lacrima crystal to contact Porlyusica.
With Lucy and the others
Lucy and her daughter Nashi had just fallen asleep when the blonde wakes up from all the noise that her friends were making.
"Really? That's great news!" Wendy exclaimed. Lucy carefully got out of bed making sure not to wake her little girl up and went to her friends.
"What's going on?" Lucy asked groggily.
"Great news Lucy! Avatar was defeated, and Natsu beat that traitor!" Levy exclaimed. Lucy's eyes widen in shock.
"Really? Natsu beat Gray?"
"Yeah! Why do you sound surprised?" Cana asked.
"Well, I knew that Natsu could beat him, but did he…?"
"No, I didn't kill him Luce." Natsu said on the crystal.
"I wanted to because of what he was doing to Gemini and for what he wanted to do to you, but if I did, then I'm no better than he is." Lucy smiled at Natsu's words.
"Good. I'm glad that you didn't. And I'm glad that you're ok honey." Lucy said sweetly.
"Thanks. Where is our daughter?" Natsu asked. Lucy went into the room and brought Nashi over to the crystal so that Natsu could see both his girls. Nashi immediately woke up and saw her father staring at her.
"Hi there Nashi." Natsu said. That was when Nashi started giggling and tried to reach Natsu. Everyone in the room was smiling at Nashi.
"Don't worry baby girl, I'll be home soon."
With Gray
'That bastard. He actually separated himself from E.N.D? He took my Lucy from me and stopped me from fulfilling my father's wish?! He is a dead man!" Gray exclaimed in his mind.
