Hello and welcome to chapter two this chapter is probably going to be a bit rushed but from the support I have been seeing from the last chapter I wanted to get this one out. Seeing longer chapters isn't something you should expect I write about 1,000 words a chapter. I have tried to write more but there are limit. Now let's begin.

Spells: Fire Dragon's Iron Fist

Dreams: It is all over.

Thoughts: 'Why Hello there'

Talking: "Hi"

Natsu tries to silently walk inside the guildhall as to not get the continued wrath of Ultear. Walking into the kitchen he is greeted by Jellal who is eating breakfast. Natsu walks over and sits down next to him. Ultear who was cooking the food walks over to Natsu and hands him a plate of food that is all on fire. Natsu looks at her as if she had grown a second head; first she was ready to kill him now she had cooked his favorite thing fire. Deciding not to question it he thanks her and begins to suck up the flames. Natsu and Jellal just sat around the table talking waiting for Meredy to wake up.

When Meredy got up and joined everyone in the kitchen Jellal explained they were going after a dark guild to work on everyone's teamwork. During the time, Jellal was explaining this Natsu was thinking back about the chat he had with Kinana last night. "They are all dead…everyone is dead." Ultear looks over at Natsu to see he is staring off in the distance but also from the look in his eyes he seems extremely sad.

After the explanation was done Jellal went out to make sure all was set up for their attack. Meredy grabbed her breakfast since she hasn't gotten to eat yet. Ultear grabbed the back of Natsu's scarf and dragged him out of the room.

Making sure they are out of hearing range of Meredy Ultear begins to question Natsu; "You seemed out of it when Jellal was explaining what we were planning. You were just staring off in the distance with a sad look on your face. We are all here to listen to what you have to say, so what is wrong?"

Natsu sighs he was hoping that they wouldn't notice the pained look on his face. He was having a hard time with the Lucy death to begin with but now with the whole guild dying it must have been too much for him. Natsu looks up at Ultear to see a sincere look of concern on her face. "Don't trust her she is going to stab you in the back just like everyone else." Natsu slightly jumps at the new voice but quickly recovers, "Who the hell are you? How the hell are you in my head?" Natsu heard what sounded like laughter echo all around inside his head, "I'm you, or well what you use to be. I have just been locked away in your head by Igneel." Natsu becomes completely surprised at the mention of his foster father, "Igneel? Why would Igneel lock you away?"

Ultear just looks at Natsu confused he just jumped for some reason and all attempts at trying to get his attention have failed. What surprised her more the looks of shock and confusion on his was the magic radiating off of him. The magic was just like Zeref's but why would Zeref's magic be in Natsu and why haven't they noticed it before now. It seemed Meredy noticed the magic also because she came rushing in the room as soon as Natsu zoned out. They would have to wait for him to wake up naturally since they didn't know the side effects if they woke him. With a look of worry Ultear thinks, "Natsu how are you connected to that man?"

"I'm going to have to unseal your magic that was locked away with me. Only will work if you accept it though." Natsu just sits there in thought. There had got to be a reason Igneel locked him away but why. "I can give you the power to protect the ones you love…" Lucy's death played through his mind, the talk with Kinana in hearing everyone is dead his react flashed before his eyes. Closing his eyes "I wish to protect them I don't want this to happen a second time. I need to become stronger." "Good choice may this magic serve you well. God of demons accept this contract; unlock this dormant power sealed by the King Flame Dragon Igneel, Unleash The Shinigami" To Natsu it all literally happened in a flash all the moments from his past life went through his mind. His old magic, his birth, why he can't remember before he met Igneel; it all finally made sense. Death and destruction followed him everywhere he went. Soon when he ran into Igneel locked this power away and trained Natsu as his own.

That night that Natsu was locked in his mind watching Lucy die, it was the seal being undone for an unknown reason. He wasn't safe using this magic around people. The dark magic radiating around Natsu vanishes letting Natsu see both Meredy and Ultear standing in front of him. "Hi is something wrong?" Natsu asks.

Ultear is the first to reply, "A dark magic radiated around you. We were just waiting to see what happens." Natsu just nods his head and stands up from where he is sitting. "I'm going to go for a walk before Jellal gets back be back soon." Before Natsu can get far Ultear grabs his arm.

"We have a few questions before we can allow you to leave," Ultear says.

Natsu just lets his head fall. He was expecting this to happen it would have been too easy if they let him leave. It was almost impossible to recognize the magic he was radiating. Nodding his head he agrees.

"The main question is how are you related to that man?" Ultear asks with a look of concern tightening her grip on his arm. Looking over at his arm that Ultear is gripping he almost laughs. She almost seemed scared of the answer he would give her.

"Apocalypse is the name of my curse. I was created as a sort of balance I was a demon though so I was hunted. Everywhere I went death and destruction followed not longer after. I was to kill Zeref if he got overwhelmed with power. I hit a pothole though, Igneel locked away my curse replacing it with Dragon Slayer Magic." Natsu sad but it seemed as if as he talked he was saddened by the fact of what has happened, what he had been created to do. "Lucy…I'm sorry…"

Ultear and Meredy continued to question Natsu but didn't dig too far at seeing it was tough subject even now. With the question over Natsu went out for his long needed walk. "Natsu…we are here for you please accept out help." Ultear thought watching Natsu run out into the dense forest.

Standing in front of a giant boulder Natsu says, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" Nothing happened though his magic wasn't reacting to his command. He tries again and again but still gets no response. Feeling that his trials are in vein he decides to try the other source of power he has. "Curse: Apocalypse" flames radiate around Natsu but they are a pitch-black color different from his normal orange and yellow flame. Natsu didn't like the feeling the flames gave off. They didn't feel right, they were the feelings of death and anger his old ones were friendship and joy. Closing off his curse he decides he will change this new flames from the way they are now he will make them feel right. "Curse: Apocalypse" The same black flames appeared as before "Apocalypse: Flame Explosion" Willing the flames he encircles the boulder and then the flames just exploded. A dust cloud was created from the explosion but when it cleared the boulder was no longer there. Willing the flames into his hand making it an ember in his open palm he closes his eyes. The ember in his palm begins to change form taking the form of what seems like a sword "Apocalypse: Flame Sword" Natsu just stares at the sword and sighs. Closing off his curse Natsu turns and begins his trek back to the guildhall.

Till next time
