Disclaimer: HAHAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA...trying to think of some clever way to say I don't own Fairy Tail...
Thanks again for all the kind reveiws! REMEMBER! 200 reviews 'ell make my day!
Also, keep wishing me luck.
It's really unfortunate that I saw the derranged body's of my parents. Because of that...my PTSD has gotten worse.
I'm basically Zeref. If there were some way to bring them back, and my sister...I would be so happy.
PTSD HAS been being stupid lately, been getting nightmares, flashbacks...and sleep deprivation again. I can't beleive it's only been two months since...yeah...
Anyways, enjoy! (Also try to ignore the misplelled words, I'm on a computer that doesn't catch spelling or gramatical errors, I'll fix them once I got a new computer)
PLEASE NO FLAMING OR CRITICS PLEASE! THANKS YA'LL!
"Zeref...?" The young salamon haired boy called. "Where are you? I'm looking for you!"
The young boy continued to wander around the abandoned temple. No one was in sight, maybe that was because it was the middle of the night? But the walls...they were mossy...and old.
Natsu Dragneel gasped in surprise, taking a large jump backwards.
A skelliton lay on the floor...
Natsu shivered, making a little whimpering sound. His brother had told him strictly not to go anywhere...but Zeref had once again been gone for two days, and Natsu couldn't wait anymore. He was getting hungry, thirsty, and he had endured two sleepless nights without his brother.
"H-hey! This isn't funny Zeref-nii! You win! I'm a bad seeker...and you're a good hider! Zeref! Please come out!" Natsu pleaded to the dark hallway, only lit up by old flickering flames.
They were obviously magic, the young boy could feel that much. Natsu's hands shook, and he started running down the long corridor, encountering more and more dead bodies, some that looked as if they had died only a few days ago, and anyone could smell that.
"Please!" Natsu cried.
He was starting to get scared.
"Brother..." Natsu fell to his knees, feeling defeated and even more tired and achey then before.
"Hellooooo young child...you seem sad..." Came a hissing voice.
Natsu looked up immedietly. "W-who's there?"
"Only someone who wants to help..." Cooed the voice. "Now tell me...what seems to be the problem...?"
"B-brother says not to talk to strangers..." Natsu reminded himself. "...and I think you count as a stranger creepy voice..."
Natsu stood up, and looked around.
"Please don't count me as a stranger pink haired boy...I am simply a guide. And what do guides do...?" The voice inquired.
"T-they h-elp?"
"Exactly! That's what I am here for...now...why don't you tell me what the problem is..."
Natsu sighed. "Alright creepy voice guide...I-I can't find b-big brother..."
"How dastardly! That calls for some serious help! You must be terrified!"
"N-not that much...m-mostly for my brother..." Natsu lied, trying to hold back the fear in his voice. "H-h-ave you seen him?"
"Well...let me think..." The voice guide made a humming sound as if he were thinking. "Now, now...I believe that I have seen him around!"
"You have!?" Natsu asked, hope rising in his voice.
"Of course! How could I have forgotten about someone so important! He's just beyond that wall! If you follow me, and let me embrace you...I can take you straight to him..."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Natsu nodded. "Take me to him...please?"
"Yes...but first, you must let me embrace you!"
"Y-you want me to give you a hug?"
"Sure, if you want! I promise you'll feel a lot better where you're going!"
"I-I...o-okay...? W-where are you?"
"I'm right here...just hug the dark..."
Natsu looked up, and saw a dark orb, with one glowing red eye, smiling with white sharp teeth. "Forget my looks! Just give me a hug! And hop right inside my mouth! It's actually a door!"
Natsu gingerly hugged the dark orb, and then moved his foot to step inside the open mouth, the mouth moved unexpectidly, and cut open Natsu's left leg, but he continued.
Suddenly, he was jerked backwards.
Natsu grunted as he hit the ground, his head bouncing on someone's breathing chest.
"GET BACK YOU FOUL CREATURE! DO NOT EVER PRESSUME TO TOUCH MY BROTHER! DO NOT EVER TRY TO EAT ANOTHER SOUL AGAIN! I AM ZEREF DRAGNEEL! AND I COMMAND YOU, LEAVE, GO BACK TO THE HOLE IN WHICH YOU CAME FROM! I BANISH YOU FROM THE SURFACE OF THE WORLD!"
The black orb creepy voice guide screamed, but disspeared.
Natsu watched his brother, his body shaking...from fear, happiness, and the pain in his left leg.
Zeref turned, and looked at Natsu, his expression furious. "Natsu! What is wrong with you!? You could've gotten yourself killed! What did I tell you to do!? I told you to wait! Why would you do something so idiotic!?"
"I-I-"
"That was a dark demon! They devour children!"
"B-but you're a child-"
"I'M TO OLD! Only children six and under! Natsu that was incredibly stupid! Why did you go and talk to him!? You moron!"
Natsu's eyes filled with tears. His brother really was angry.
"Why did you do it!?"
"I..."
"TELL ME!"
"I was scared!" Natsu answered. "You were gone two days! I'm hungry, and tired! I thought you were dead! Why did you leave!?"
Zeref stared at his younger brother.
"I know I shouldn't have left, but I was scared...and I missed you!"
Zeref knelt. "I-I...I'm sorry Natsu. I-I didn't realize that. Come on, let's go get you some food, and clean up your wound. I'll give you a ride."
Zeref housted Natsu up onto his back, and the boys journyed out of the scary temple.
"Zeref...?"
"Yes?"
"Please don't leave me...promise?"
"I promise."
"I love you..."
"I love you too, Natsu. More then anything."
Natsu's eyes slowly opened...where was he?
On the ground...he slowly and painfully remembered.
The physical pain filled up inside him, pounding his chest wound...
Natsu took in a deep breath, and pushed himself off the ground, shaking his head.
"...no..."
Natsu tilted his head, and saw Gray, leaning over something. He was surprised to see tears on the ice mages face.
"No! No! NO!"
Natsu frowned.
He moved himself a little, so that he could see...no...
No was right.
Gray opened the book of E.N.D..
The words...
Etherious
Natsu
Dragneel
were on the first page.
"...how can I kill him!? No...!"
Natsu's body shook. The book was opened.
That meant his power would come rushing back to him at a quick pace.
Natsu's skin already felt as if pins were poking it.
Zeref fell next to Natsu, and Acnologia jumped onto the ground.
"You're just to scared to fight me Zeref! Wanting to protect your dear little brother, eh?" Acnologia taunted. "Well then! Looks like E.N.D.'s transformation is about to start! Then..."
Acnologia clearaed his voice, right as Erza, Lucy, Happy, Wendy and Carla appeared on the scene.
"NATSU DRAGNEEL! ZEREF DRAGNEEL! FIGHT ME!"
Gray's eyes got even wider. Natsu, his good friend, was E.N.D., and also the brother of Zeref!?
Natsu choked, he suddenly couldn't breathe. The book of E.N.D. shined bright, and Natsu yelled in pain, as his own power surged back through his body.
Fire appeared around Natsu...but then it mixed with crackles of lightning...god slayer fire...all the fire Natsu had eaten from all his oppoinents, and then finally, his fire. E.N.D.'s fire.
Gray watched in awe, but also fear and anger, as the fire got brighter, and brighter...
Finally...it dissipated, and Natsu Dragneel stood there, grinning like a madman. His wounds were all still there, but they didn't look like they were bothering him.
Scales had appeared on Natsu's face, and wrists, horns on his head, his finger nails were sharp claws, and he had slight wings on his back.
"E.N.D.." Acnologia bowed teasingly.
"Natsu..." Zeref muttered.
"Shut up, Zeref-nii. I'm ready to fight. So here's my question to you...are you ready too?"
Zeref smiled. "Indeed, brother."
"We will fight too!" Wendy agreed.
"No you won't." Natsu said, not even turning around. "You're going to stay there, and watch. He's more then you could handle...you're all quite honestly...weak."
Everyone gasped, except Zeref and Acnologia.
"Opps...sorry 'bout that. Just being burtal there, wasn't I?" Natsu chuckled.
"I know you and your brother can take on me...but what about my minions?" Acnologia grinned.
From behind Mildian...people emerged. Regular wizards, but they looked angry, feirce, and ready to fight.
"Please!" Lucy begged. "Let us fight!"
"I already said no, so stop your begging!" Natsu shouted. "Get your asses away from this fight! It's mine! Not any of yours!"
"We aren't leaving!" Erza argued.
"GET THE HELL AWAY!" Natsu hissed.
Everyone took a few steps back, but still stayed close enough to hear everything.
Acnologia jumped on top of Mildian, and beckoned his minions to go forward.
Zeref growled to himself. Of course that was his plan, tyring to get him and Natsu tired before the battle with Acnologia...but Zeref was the most powerful mage ever alive, and Natsu the second...he was sure they could handle it.
"Get outta the clouds." Natsu said sternly, and then grinned. "You ready?"
"As ever." Zeref replied.
Then they started fighting.
Natsu and Zeref did opposite simutanious moves, kicking and taking down their enemies. Natsu and Zeref both flipped backwards, and ran at each other. Natsu's hand lit up with a flame, and Zeref's with his dark flame magic, (because he's got a lot of magic, that's dark, but stil awesome) and they slapped their hands together.
Team Natsu was astounded, to see in Natsu's hand, black flames, and in Zerefs, were Natsu's flames.
Both the boys attacked with amazing agiltiy, and strength, it was amazing to watch.
"Zeref!" Natsu called. "We need to get to Acnologia!"
Zeref nodded in agreement.
They both pushed themselves up with magic.
Acnologia laughed. "That determained, eh?"
Zeref and Natsu both growled, glaring at Acnologia.
"How could you betray me like this, Acnologia?!"
Acnologia laughed. "Maybe you should figure that out yourself, Dark Lord."
Acnologia turned to Natsu. "By the way...you remember Igneel, don't you? He was a very fun prey to kill-"
"SHUT UP!" Natsu cried, and ran at Acnologia, trying to punch him.
"Natsu, wait!" Zeref tried to get his brother to back down for a moment.
Acnologia laughed. "Just as stupid as I remember!"
Acnologia grabbed Natsu's arm, and pushed it behind his back, forcing Natsu to his knees, and taking his other hand, he placed it on Natsu's head, and pushed him down.
"I can't beleive you are holding onto something as vulger as the Fire dragon Igneel! The memories you have from him are terrible! Why would you want to remember something as...weak...?"
"IGNEEL ISN'T WEAK!"
"Ah-ah-ah..." Acnologia chuckled. "You mean..."'Wasn't'"?"
Natsu yelled in anger, and tried to fight back.
"Oh...you just get dumber by the second!"
"LEAVE NATSU ALONE!" Zeref barked, and punched Acnologia in the face.
Acnologia stumbled backwards.
"Fine then..."
Before the Dragneel brother's eyes, Acnologia transformed back into his dragon form.
Zeref helped Natsu up.
"We can do this, Natsu." Zeref encouraged.
"Right. I know we can..."
"Come on!" Levy shouted, once they were back to the guild. "Focase your magic energy!"
It was a difficult journy, and they had to seriously travle far, but they got there again.
Everyone held hands, and closed their eyes.
"This is for Natsu and the others!" Lisanna reminded.
"We can help save them!"
The Dragneel brothers kept fighting for quite a long time, and team Natsu could only watch.
Both Natsu, and Zeref were so powerful. It was a very entertaining show.
Of course, Gray Fullbuster still felt betrayed, and sad.
How could Natsu not have mentioned it? Not have told them that he was E.N.D., and Zeref Dragneel's younger brother?
How could Gray kill his best friend?!
Despite his attempts, Natsu knew that he was getting tired. But he knew he could do it. He had to save the Fairy Tail Guild, and he had to save his older brother.
Zeref had done so much for him, he had saved Natsu so many times...now.
Now is the chance to repay him.
When things were starting to look dark, suddenly, magic energy hummed in the air, and the brothers exchanged looks.
Fairy Tail...their helping...their helping us...Natsu thought.
Magic energy suddenly hit Acnologia on top of his head, and the dragon roared in pain.
Natsu felt a smile creeping to his face. But Acnologia was not yet defeated.
He roared once more, and then turned to Zeref.
"THIS IS YOUR FAULT!"
And the dragon's hand rushed towards the dumbstruck Zeref.
"NO!" Natsu jumped in front of Zeref.
It felt like the appropriate thing to do...
He remembered what Erza said: "'You don't die for your friends, you live for them!'", but at this moment...Zeref wasn't his friend. He was his brother, and Natsu loved him more then anything. Zeref wasn't just a friend. He was the only blood family Natsu had left.
Of course, Natsu kind of wished he could've avoided the pain, as one of Acnologia's claws peirced Natsu's stomach.
"N-Natsu!" Zeref cried.
Natsu stumbled back into his big brother's arms.
"Why!? Why did you do that!?"
Natsu smiled, as he vomited up blood. "Y-y-you...h-have...s-s-aved me...s-s-so man-y t-times...Z-Zer-ref-N-nii...t-this...i-is t-t-oo pay y-ou back..."
Natsu sighed, and then used the last of strength, and the last of his magic, and did a speciel combo with Zeref, as the older brother cried.
Acnologia roared...and Zeref knew he flew away. He wouldn't be seeing him in a while.
Rain started to pour, as Zeref held Natsu in his arms.
"Natsu...right now...kill me..."
"N-n-o...I-I...c-c-ca-an...-'t..."
The boys cried in silence.
Team Natsu stared at them from a short distance. They all wanted to run and hug them, they were all crying, but they didn't want to ruin Zeref's time with Natsu.
"R-r-reme-ember...p-p-arents...?"
"Of course I do...how could I ever forget...?"
Natsu smiled painfully. "M-m-om...w-was k-kind...and d-da-ad was...b-brave...y-ou are b-both of t-them...m-m-ixed..."
Zeref cried as well. "You are...too...!"
"I-I...I love...y-ou..."
Zeref started balling. "This wasn't suppose to happen! It was suppose to be the other way around! I'm so sorry! Natsu! I'm so sorry!"
Natsu's eyes were already closed.
"No!"
Zeref suddenly felt a sharp pain to his lower right chest. He gasped. A knife had just been stabbed...Zeref's vision became hazy. He pulled Natsu closer to himself, and also fell on his back.
