Wee. I was off and decided to update. Its crazy here, everywhere is flooded. Well almost, our town is safe. But overall it's good. Well thanks for all the favs and reviews. Can't express my gratitude.
Oh and an important not at the bottom. Please read that.
Disclaimer: nada, not mine. But I so wish it was, and then I would have been super rich
In front of Natsu stood an old man with cat ears who was almost the same height as Natsu. Currently he was annoying Natsu but not giving any answer they wanted.
'Let me at him. Let me at him' another reason why he was annoyed was because END had been non-stop chipping at him to let him kill the annoying old man. Natsu really wanted to curse the old man and Makarov.
'I don't know why you like that human. One of these you will end up abandoned' the demon said these things often, saying something that would happen. It made Natsu often wonder if the entity could see the future.
'They won't. Fairy tail is a family. Family don't abandon each other' Natsu often consoled himself with his words but over the time he even forgot if he was consoling himself or the demon. Suddenly an explosion shook the building. A blond man with cat like ears and tail stood.
'Jackal. Not the most attentive of them all. He will not recognise us if we try to conceal our presence' Natsu raised his brow in confusion and the entity continued 'it will not be good for us to be found out so early in the game' Natsu wanted to disagree but seeing Jackal attack moved into the battle zone to fend off the attack.
"Huh. A kid? They sent a kid to protect you?" he mocked the old man just as Natsu moved to attack. Attacks after attack rained down on both of them, Jackal falling down and Lucy along with Wendy cheered. Natsu meanwhile narrowed his eyes as Lucy comment strikes home.
'Involve innocent citizens?' he asked as swallowed an explosion surprising Jackal.
'No one innocent in this world. Anyway let me out, I can handle him' the entity in his head wined to be let out but Natsu just kept on ignoring him. Suddenly Jackal stopped and was trying to tell Natsu something but in his frustration Natsu punched Jackal. The old man said something about "White Legacy", which was totally not something Natsu was concerned with.
'I'm forgetting something. What was Jackal's curse again?' Natsu asked himself just as Jackal stands again and saying something about lying, then pointed at the child and glowing lines on his body. 'These are not the senzu lines of phoenix tattoo? Then, wait Jackal's curses, oh shit' Natsu cursed himself mentally for forgetting. Suddenly the lined exploded and pain overtook him, causing him to fall unconscious. He was once again near a pond with cherry blossoms in full bloom and a full moon.
"I told you to let me take care of him. Now you are injured" the now taller demon said looking at Natsu who was still a child and Natsu looked at him little drowsily.
"Huh, what? What, were you worried?" Natsu tried to tease but it did not quite come out like that and END frowned
'I don't know why you want to protect humans so much but I will help you if that's what you really want. But remember one day they will betray you and when that day come I will be here" he said as he faded from the body. In the real world the senzu lines were glowing on Natsu's body, healing him. They eyes which opened were not Natsu's however, and for the first time in almost 400 years the most powerful demon opened his eyes. An almost evil smile took his place. "You'll pay, mutt" he muttered before walking away, willing the senzu lines to fade. He saw the blond demon on top of a building, and attacked full force causing his curse to be lifted.
"So you're still alive huh, impressive. However" the blond demon quite smugly said as the pink haired child was blasted in an explosion, but it quickly faded when he saw the pink-head unharmed. Natsu quickly extended his flames and attacked.
"Wait this feeling. This fear. You can't be" Jackal's eyes widened as the long hairs kept in a braid become undone around the child. Natsu walked toward the demon and punched the ground near his head and whispered.
"Go back Jackal. I have no patience to play with you now, but keep me a secret for now" Natsu said but Jackal was too damaged to go back, and was becoming unstable. Natsu jumped back as Jackal turned into a giant bomb, and happy flew him away in the sky saving everyone. END gave Natsu the control back muttering about disrespect, living again or something. Natsu turned his attention back toward the old man they were protecting.
"After Face" that was the only thing Natsu needed to know to know what they wanted. He completely tuned out Lucy who was conversing with Makarov
'So to eradicated magic from this world and forcing me to show myself or release me. What a mess' although this was spoken solemnly Natsu could not miss the amusement in END's voice.
'You're enjoying this aren't you?' Natsu asked but was not graced with an answer.
'Your friends are in trouble. At the EX-chairman's house. He is a traitor after all' Natsu bolted upright and did not even question the demon and demanded the address flying away from the place with happy.
'I don't know if I ever said this but, thank you END.' The entity's shock could be felt over the link, but the silence was maintained. He hurried toward the home only to see it in shatters.
"Who? Tartarus" he muttered and his anger shook everything.
'I'll lead you there. And help you fight' suddenly a figure manifested in front of him who looked exactly like the entity in is head
"Y-You are free" Natsu said trying to control his sobs and to his got a hug from the demon.
"Yes. I promised to help. I will not be able to stay out long and it will be a big drain on your power but I have something to do. Do you trust me?" the entity asked extending his hand toward Natsu and Natsu grabbed it.
"Yes. With my life" Natsu said feeling he trust the demon who was the creator of the guild which had caused all this and both of them left for Tartarus but before entering both of them parted ways.
"I'll be back" with that END, the most powerful demon disappeared from the view.
And done. A very important note for future chapters. Everything happened as in anime till the battle with Mard Geer so next chapter will be directly the fight in which the dragons appear and everything in between is same as anime. Don't be confused and review.
