Chapter 1: Back In Time

"Urgh..." groaned Natsu who slowly got up. He noticed his surroundings and he seemed to be in the inside of a volcano.

"Where am I...? Dimaria? Ultear?" called out Natsu as he got up and started walking around.

For what seemed like hours, Natsu had searched for the duo. He huffed as he scratched his head, still looking. where could they have gone?

"They're not here, idiot." said a voice from behind the pinkhead. Natsu spun around as he tried to activate his dragon slaying magic. To his surprise, no flames were emitted.

"You really are an idiot, aren't you?" said the voice.

"Where are you?! I'll burn ya to ashes so come out and fight me, bastard!" yelled out Natsu who tingled in fear and excitement at the prospect of a new opponent. A figure started to materialize in front of him. As the figure became to take a familiar face, Natsu widened his eyes at who the person was.

"Surprise! I'm you! Or more specifically, E.N.D. Never really liked that name though." exclaimed E.N.D. who sported a dark orange trench coat, black boots, baggy pants like Natsu but black in color. He also sported the same claws along with the same black flames surrounding him from his fight with Gray. He had thought he lost Lucy and lost control of himself, only to be brought back by Erza.

"You're... Me? asked Natsu who seemed to glare at his counterpart.

"You can say that. My consciousness only started to be made when you had thought you lost Lisanna. I started to gain some ground when Fernandes made your scarlet-haired girlfriend. I remember the look on your face when she started crying. Had it not been for me, you would've died the moment you started the ethernano. Now, if you're wondering where we are, we're in your mind of course. I recommend that you change the landscape though. Igneel was able to, you should as well. After all, it's your mind." said the Demon who stared at the Dragon Slayer.

"This is my mind? Awesome! I'm in a volcano! Way better than when me and Igneel lived in that stupid cave!" exclaimed Natsu who jumped in the air with a fist pump upwards, having a grin on his face.

The Demon would have puked at the sight of Natsu's excitement if he had a physical body.

"So... why am I here again?" asked the Dragon Slayer.

"Just want to let you know that Igneel wasn't affected by your little spell with those two ladies. He remembers dying by Acnologia so he'll know you still have your memories. He knows we're speaking, I bet. Lastly, I'll restore the memories you had lost before when Igneel decided to go inside you to prevent your dragonification. It'll take a while though. I'll speak to you now and then if you need any help. Now then, anything you wanna ask?" said E.N.D. as he stared at the Dragon Slayer in question.

"You talk too much." deadpanned Natsu as he looked bored out of his mind.

The Demon sweatdropped at the Dragon Slayer as he failed to comprehend how he is his counterpart. He shook his head and made the Dragon Slayer wake up.

"Urgh..." groaned the Pyro as he woke up with a childlike voice.

"Natsu?" asked a childlike feminine voice filled with worry.

The pinkhead in question looked to his right and to his surprise, it was a young Ultear. She was now a kid. She seemed to wear a blue jacket and had short hair. She looked down at him in worry, hoping if he was alright.

"Ultear?" asked Natsu as he raised an eyebrow looking at her. The raven haired girl sighed in relief and smiled at the fact the boy was happy.

"The plan worked! Dimaria's plan worked!" said a cheerful Ultear.

"It did?! Awesome!" exclaimed Natsu who sprung who smiled like a kid in a candy store.

"Dimaria is not with us sadly. She must be back in Alvarez as a kid too." said Ultear as she started putting some thought into their actions. What can they do? What plan can they come up? How will they save everyone? Natsu, who seemed to notice this, merely grinned and flashed a thumbs up at her.

"Don't worry, Ultear! You go find your mom and I'll find Igneel! Let's both train and get stronger and meet up again soon!" exclaimed Natsu with a cheerful smile.

Ultear smiled slightly at the boy and nodded, thinking it wouldn't be that bad to place her trust in him. They got up then shook his hands with each other as they gave a small nod to each other before running the opposite way from where they were facing. They were ready for the next time they would see each other as well as Dimaria.

Natsu arrived at a small cave as he saw a giant red tail popping out of it. His eyes lit up as he rushed in it in joy of seeing foster father. Ultear arrived at a small cabin as she spotted Ur, her mother, training a young Gray Fullbuster and Lyon Vastia. Her eyes started to spring tears as she rushed to her mother who noticed who had noticed Ultear running towards her. The young mother fell to her knees as she hugged her daughter tightly, both females in tears as the boys looked at them in confusion.

A young Dimaria was in an alleyway as she was in the streets of Alvarez. She wore ragged clothes with a bag over her shoulder as it seemed to barely have enough food and water to survive. She looked up at the castle where Zeref is currently housing. She had a determined look on her face. She would help change the future with the help of Ultear and Natsu. She would make sure of it.

"I'm coming for you, Emperor. We will save the world and prevent it from being destroyed." said Dimaria who headed to the castle so that she may be able to recover to her normal health and be able to contact Natsu and Ultear in order to devise a plan.

They would save the world. They would make sure of it. No one would die this time.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! IT'S MANNY! HOW ARE YOU ALL?

Okay, okay. Sorry for the lack of words. I'm still new to writing fanfiction so my apologies! I hope you enjoy this because if I don't improve fast enough on being in more detail in my writing and expand upon my story, then there'll be a bunch of chapters to make up for it! Any who, I wonder how Natsu and Igneel will fare with time being reversed! How will Ultear explain everything to Ur? Will Gray and Lyon find out about their fates? What will Dimaria do with Zeref in the future? Find out more in the next...

DRAGON BALL Z!

Natsu: Dude... Seriously?

Me: What? I had to!

Happy: HEY! WHY WAS I A PILE OF ASHES?!

Me: Happy?! When did you get here?!

Wendy *sniffling*: Why did I have to lose my torso...?

Me: Um... GOTTA BLAST! CYA IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!

Natsu *chases after me*: Hey! Get back here, bastard!"
