Chapter 14: The battle II
Virgo return back to her digging but.
Virgo: I can't princess, the barrier were also connected below the ground.
Lucy: no, that can't be.
Virgo: is it time for punishment princess?
Lucy: no, instead help loki destroying it virgo.
Virgo: understood.
She then helps loki to destroy the barrier.
Lucy: … nashi
They were continued to be beaten up until they are down and zaggan was laughing crazy.
Zaggan: hahahahahaahahahahaha serve you right you weaklings!
Nashi: nghhhhhhh … (mom)
Zaggan: DIE FOOLS!
Great amount force is gathering around : !... tch
Zaggan: die, ALL OF YOU MUST DIE! THOSE WHO WILL DISOBEY ME MUST DIE!
He released a strong dark beam heading to nashi and the others. They don't seem have a power to defend it nor move to dodge it.
Mirajane: oh NO!
All: !
Lucy: NASHI! EVERYONE!
Natsu: RUN!
They can't react and unnoticed, some kind of portal from the sky came out and two light things came out and head to them and at the same time that dark beam hit them. They can't tell if they're alright because of the dust around. They can't believe what happened, even yua didn't expect that.
Zaggan: hehehehehe… hahahahahahahahaha!... !
Inside, they are still ok and their eyes were close seen they are hit but wasn't. They opened their eyes looking what happened and why are still safe.
Future gray: … what?
Future erza: who did this?
Future loki: … huh? Nashi?
Nashi can't believe on her eyes, someone approaches her and it was lucy from the future. They can't believe on their eyes it was her, but her body seems transparent and cannot be touch.
Nashi: [cry] mo-mom
Future lucy: nashi just what did you do wrong?
Nashi: [cry] !
She can't believe she has seen her mother one last time, even the other's can't believe on it either and saw her. Lucy look at both her past lucy and past natsu and smiled at them.
Natsu and lucy: !
Future lucy: hehe. So we can't stay too long here, let's do what we have come here… Natsu.
Natsu in same situation as lucy was there. It was the 10 years natsu who created the barrier to protect them.
Natsu: you got it lucy
Everyone was shock, seeing both lucy and natsu for them. Zaggan can't believe it either.
Yua: why?
Levy: yua?
Yua: you… YOU IDIOTS! Leaving in the spirit world on your own, DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE CONSEQUENCE OF THAT ACTION!? NATSU! LUCY!
Future natsu: … we know yua
Future lucy: and we don't care… for our daughter and everyone, we'll sacrifice anything for them.
Yua: EVEN YOUR OWN EXCISTANCE!? IT WILL ALSO MEAN YOU WILL NEVER BE REBORN, YOU WILL LOSE YOUR OWN EXCISTANCE!
All: !
Lucy: e-existence? What do you mean?
Yua: once they lose their existence, they can no longer be reborn as a new person, and also, they can never be remembered. We will lose our memories about you two.
They can't believe it, they will lose their memories about natsu and lucy, that was just… they can't accept it and so.
Nashi: mom, dad please go back, i… I don't want to lose my memories about the two of you. Please!
Future lucy: nashi my daughter don't worry, everything will be over soon.
She went beside natsu and turn around looking at zaggan and holding hands.
Future erza: natsu, lucy stop it!
Future gray: won't you two ever listen? Hey bird brain!
Natsu: shut up will you, ice brain.
They have begun to flow in light.
Future loki: no you don't have to do this lucy, natsu
Yua: NO!
Lucy: wait!
Natsu: !... ah
Natsu can see they are happy, happy to be together and join their power as one in their hands, on where they are holding together.
Future natsu and future lucy: UNION SOUL… SOUL BLAST!
Nashi: MOM! DAD!
They have gathering the power in their hands and point it to him. A powerful blast was out from their hands and heading to him. he can avoid it for some reason he as paralyze.
Zaggan: I can't move? Ah
It then hit him.
Zaggan: graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
The place explode, both future natsu and future lucy turn around looking at their daughter.
Future natsu: nashi finish everything you started, never turn back and keep forward.
Future lucy: and always remember nashi, mom and dad loves you so much… ok?
They are starting to disappear. Nashi stand up and head to them.
Nashi: mom, dad don't leave me please!
They just smiled and future lucy's tears came out and just hug future natsu and hug her back and both disappeared completely at the same time, nashi was close enough to touch them but was unable to do it. She began to cry once again. Future erza, future gray and future loki were also crying, it pained them so much, just to save them and nashi they will have to destroy their own existence. It's like they failed on many promises they have sworn to them. Yua was irritated, she can't accept it and the others were sad and can't talk about it. Lucy began to cry again and natsu was piss off. Natsu look up and saw something.
Future erza, future gray and future loki stand up and went to the crying nashi. Future erza just hug her, nashi keeps saying 'mom, dad' as she cry and a few second, her hands got fired again and stand in her fighting position.
Nashi: [crying] still alive huh… mom, dad… I won't fail you this time… I promise.
Future erza, future gray and future loki also stand and wipe their tears and get ready.
Future erza: let our emotion be subside for now, what more important is… let's finish this… got it!?
Future gray and future loki: yeah!
Nashi: graaahh!
Both nashi and future loki charge heading to him. His regulus shine and her flame got even more hotter. As zaggan standing up, he saw the two are coming.
Future loki and nashi: UNION RAID
Zaggan: !
Future loki: Regulus Impact!
Nashi: Fire Dragon's Flame Elbow and Iron Fist!
At the same time they have punch him so strongly that he was force and pushed away and both future gray and future erza jump below them and then.
Future erza: Re-equip… Armadura Fairy Armor!
She changes to her strongest armor which has the guild's name. {It was shown in the episode where she battled Erza Knightwalker.} Future gray was using his ice magic.
Future gray and future erza: UNION RAID
Future gray: Ice Make Froze Sword!
Future erza: Fairy Piercing Sword!
Future erza throw the sword in great speed and with the combine freezing the sword double the attack power and hit him. They landed safely.
Romeo: di-did they do it?
Natsu: …
Remembering what nashi told about him, his fist grip like he hated it. Lucy noticed him first than happy.
Lucy: natsu
Nashi: huff huff huff huff
Future loki: are you alright dear nashi?
Nashi: ye-yeah. Using two magic at the same time was tiring.
Future loki: there's no need to force yourself nashi.
Nashi: I know but… I'm still not a good combat fighter like you and dad uncle loki.
Future loki: is that so
Loki: … using flame elbow to boost her punch in great power at the same time using iron fist, that young one knows what to do.
Gray: well he is flame brain's daughter loki
Erza: like father like daughter huh.
Levy: moreover, was it over gajeel?
Gajeel: … no not yet.
He have gotten even more power within him, it was very unbelievable to see.
Cana: just where the heck is his power coming from?
Juvia: it's like the more power you use, the more power he gets.
Macao: tch
Makarov: (the magic he keep using… was a lost magic of the Dark Age 200 years ago. How come he able to inherit such thing?)
Zaggan: that… hurts… you know… hehe… good thing I have this power… power of lost magic in time of dark age… where those who inherit this magic and learn this magic would know the meaning of pain. Things such as this won't work against me.
Future gray: tch! I already put my magic in that union thing, I have no more magic left.
Future erza: sa-same here
Nashi: huff huff huff
Future loki: nashi maybe I should return now, I can't let you use all your magic anymore. Use everything you have left to support both of them.
Nashi: uncle loki
Future loki: take care nashi, I hate doing this but it's for the best for you.
Nashi: … ok… thank you uncle loki.
He returned back to the celestial spirit world and nashi stand firmly as she will take on that attack.
Future gray: nashi
Nashi: I will protect both of you uncle gray, grandma erza
Zaggan is releasing a same beam like the last time and her flame got even more fired up and ready to take it but, someone took her place and saw it was natsu who went in front of her and going to take it instead.
Nashi: dad?
Natsu: Fire Dragon's Roar!
He blast a fire breaths in full power and easily push it back to him and hit, even so he was protected by his dark power.
Zaggan: wha-what?
Natsu: …
Future gray: na-natsu
Future erza: ho-how did you
Lucy: how did he got in?
Happy: guys look over there
Happy pointed the crack at the upper barrier and there's a damage that its good enough for one person to come in.
Yua: ! When did that happened?... ! (Don't tell me when they…)
Zaggan: natsu do you want to die early? I can make it come true now.
Natsu: don't be stupid, no one will die here.
Zaggan: hehe what are you talking about? You will die like they have said in the future, they can never change that fact right?
They were silence and angry that they can't do anything to it.
Zaggan: see you will die no matter what, you will die-
Natsu: august 18 acnologia will arrive once again
All: !
Future erza, future gray and nashi: !
Natsu: august 19 will be the great battle between us dragon slayers and him… and on the 5th day, august 24, I will die and the battle will be over… right?
Nashi: [trembling] d-d-d-da-dad! H-h-how d-did you kn-kn-know it?
Natsu: yua told it to me 5 days ago, maybe before she meets you guys.
Future erza: i-is that true!?
She quickly looks at yua who was shaking and trying to hold it by hugging herself tightly.
Yua: … yes. I saw 10 years later ahead and witness that future. I wanted to change the outcome, where no one has to die. Can't see another was and so I… I told natsu about it, erza
Makarov: yua… why didn't you told us!?
Yua: … you of all people know the answer makarov, I still can't trust you humans… I still can't. But you know it did cross my mind and plan it to tell you… but one event came to me, and that's the letter from my future version of me and told me to travel 20 years as soon as possible. I didn't know what's happening and so I plan to tell it to all of you once I'm done to what kind of business I'll do in the future.
Wendy: yua-san
Yua: …
Natsu: well after she told me well I said myself it can't be helped. If it will make my friends survive and protect the guild, I'm happy to die for them.
Future gray: s-so you just let yourself to be killed!? Just for that reason!?
Natsu: hehe yup
Happy: natsu… you idiot! Can't you think of anything will happened when you're no longer around? I'll be sad, everyone will sad, you'll live lucy and… and… YOU WILL NEVER MEET YOUR DAUGHTER NATSU!
Natsu: … I know happy, even I'm hurt when I finally knew it. Funny was it, right?
Happy: natsu
Natsu: I know soon will be ok, but you will ruin it in the future. And so I have finally decided, I will not die, I will certainly come back alive happy!
Happy: !... a-AYE SIR!
Natsu: heh
Nashi: d-dad… ah!
Future gray and future erza: ah!
Yua: ah!
They have felt some kind of strange happening to their mind and bodies. It's like they felt really strange that can be put as 'changes' or some sort.
Future gray: wha-what was that just now?
Nashi: you felt it too unlce gray?
Yua: … the future
Carla: did something happen to the future yua?
Yua nod and then face them.
Yua: it's a normal phenomenon for me who have seen far future and those who came from the future felt the same as me. It only indicates the future is changing. There are many kinds of future path that we can take and all of it was all end natsu's death but… this is a miracle, a new path was born, an unknown future. Maybe, maybe everything had change now.
Loki: change like what yua? Will everyone die this time?
Yua: I don't know loki, the new born future can't have anything yet but I can only say one thing, there are chances that natsu could still be alive and everyone else and in 20 years has change too.
Future gray: you mean they are
Yua: it could be, like everything zaggan will do 20 years ago will disappeared like nothing happened gray
Future gray begun to cry
Future gray: [crying] (… juvia)
Future erza: heh… (Everyone)
Yua: all that changes only because natsu got the determination to live huh, I wonder if I tried so hard for nothing hahaha
Makarov: yua
Natsu got even fired up
Natsu: I'm now fired up!
Natsu charge and began beating him continuously. Nashi was very happy, even both future gray and future erza for him. Everyone was so happy for knowing the future have change, later own zaggan was down and natsu stop and smiled happily.
Natsu: haha I won!
Nashi: dad!
Nashi came running and hug her father really tightly, she was so happy for him and natsu carry her and hug her too. The barrier disappeared and everyone went to them.
Erza: are you alright erza?
Future erza: !... yeah, thank you erza
Gray: so this is who I am in the future huh
Future gray: hehe surprised?
Juvia: [heart shape eyes] ahhhhh, juvia sees two gray-sama! I'm so happy!
Gray: sh-shut up
Future gray: … heh
Lucy see both natsu and nashi coming still hugging him and when she saw her, she hug her too.
Nashi: mom
Lucy hugs her back.
Lucy: you're so strong… nashi
Nashi continuous to hug her feeling the warm of her mother. Natsu was happy for both of them, they are too were happy and wendy even begun healing both future gray and future erza. Makarov walk heading to zaggan who was down and gildarts followed him. zaggan seems still conscious.
Zaggan: (ughh… i… can't stop here… my wish will be granted… i)
Zaggan release another darkness again that both makarov and gildarts have stepped back.
Gildarts: master
Makarov: … !
Dark shadows came out below him and trapped him inside it. The dark ball was big and can't believe what happened. Makarov look behind him.
Makarov: did you do this? Yua
Yua was pointing her index finger on him and put down her hands.
Yua: I just can't let him escape can't I?
Future gray and future erza remembered why they came and their pain. They both rose up.
Wendy: w-wait I'm not done
Future erza: thank you wendy but… we still have unfinished business to do.
Wakaba: so you're still at it huh.
Romeo: wait yua said there is a new future for us, does that mean its ok now?
Future gray: how about it yua?
Yua: well… the chances have a yes but also a no. this guy's move will be a mystery for me now but has a chance to repeat the future once again.
Future erza: no reason to hold back then.
Mirajane: wait stop! It's over now erza, gray so stop it!
Future Gray: sorry mira, we have decided, we won't hold back now.
Mirajane: erza, gray… laxus help me out.
Laxus: can't do that, they have decided so leave them be mira
Mirajane: you're missing a point here
Gajeel: If you'll do it and do it.
Lily: even you gajeel.
Yua: … erza, gray let me ask you one last time. Are you sure about your action?
Future gray: we told you many times but we already
Yua: you will take the blame, yes that's true but you'll do the killing here in different time. The once who will be affected the most were you're past selves instead. That's what I'm worried. Taking everything in your shoulders but whenever you do, the once who will take the blame were not you two but those two instead. Haven't you think the effect will be done to them?
Future erza: … what do you want us to do? Let that man live? No absolutely not! Ha has to pay for killing my comrades, I will never forgive him no matter what you do yua.
Future gray: but yua has a point. I want to take it but its I out of my control on him being affected as well… just what the heck are we suppose to do?
Gray: !
Erza: !... hmm
Nashi: … but… we can't let him just live either.
Lucy: nashi
Nashi grip her hands to lucy's shoulder. She's having a hard time too and also seeing her mom's death at the same time.
Lucy: (to carry such pain in a very young age… nashi)
Natsu: …
Everyone was silent again. Yua stares at everyone and breathe deeply and walk heading to that dark orb. Sword came out to her hands.
Makarov: yua where are you going?
Yua stop on where she is already near it.
Yua: I'll take all the blame and responsibility of course.
Future gray, future erza and nashi: !
Future erza: wait this is
Yua: you can't, no matter how angry to this man, you can never kill him. after all not even once your hands were stain in blood. That's same for gray and nashi is very young to do such thing. So I'll take it instead, beside… it's my specialty right?
Future gray: hey wait!
Yua went in to that orb. Makarov and gildarts tried to enter but it was harden and can't go in.
Makarov: yua, yua!
Gildarts: master what should we
Makarov: … tch
All: … ah
The shadow thing rose up and explodes to dust. They saw a sword pointing the sky and have a blood on it. It's still fresh and yua was not looking at them. They were surprised, she really killed him and then slash down the sword leaving bloods on the ground. The blood were drilling down to the ground and she slowly turn around, she has a blood all over her right hand and few on her right face. She was serious and smile a bit for them.
Yua: sorry, did I scare you?
Both future gray and future erza were shaking and sat down and the others went to them. They can't believe he's finally dead and didn't leave a single part of his body at all. What shock them is the way yua looked to them, it's like she's telling them that this is how it feels to kill a person. You may become worst than being killed, you can no longer wash the blood you have slain, you can never change the reality, even if you went back to the past to change it, the reality will always be there hunting them. They have then think, what will I do if I'm the one who killed him? They can't do anything any longer.
Everyone were silence, yua can feel it and went away. Makarov just stare at her, with a pity in his eyes.
Makarov: (a child like you that has been raised alone and then learned how to kill… what future awaits you if you just haven't that kind of fate… yua.)
