A/N: I was going to add more to this chapter but since I'm busy all week every week with my job, and reviews demanding for more, I decided to update as it is. Just to let you all know now: I will only follow the manga's storyline up to a certain point (which we'll arrive at later chapters) then go off into a whole new, completely original, story.

Chapter 9: Our savior has arrived!

"I wonder how durable that cannon is... Gray! Try hitting it!" Cana yelled over to him.

"You got it! Aisu Meiku: Lansu!" The ice mage's attack reached the Jupiter Cannon and made a large cloud of dust. After the obscuring dust went away, the cannon came into view and it had appeared to had done nothing.

"Damn, that metal plating must be made of the hardest steel. Looks like I'll have to take it out from the inside!" She said with determination and ran off towards Phantom Lord's guild.

"Come on! Let's go help he- what the hell is that?!" Macao shouted as Ghost like figures floated towards them.

"Are those g-ghosts?!" Someone shouted.

While the rest of the guild was trying to assess the situation, Cana managed to get inside the cannon with the help of Gray's magic. (Don't ask me how)

When she entered, she was greeted by the sight of an enormous lacrima that seemed to be close to being fully charged.

"So this must be it. This is what is supplying the cannon with power. Now I just have to take this thing out and Fairytail will be out of danger." Cana Implored.

"I'm afraid I cannot let you do that." And eerie voice spoke as a shadow moved from behind the lacrima. The shadow's owner was a young man in his early twenties dressed in a bright red coat that had flame markings.

"Who the hell are you?!" The card mage asked.

"My name is Totomaru, I'm part of the element four, I govern over fire and control it to my will." Totomaru explained.

"Looks like I'll have to fight to succeed."

-With Natsu-

'Where am I? What is this place?' Natsu asked himself as he found himself in a town that was currently on fire with huge dust clouds. He could hear the cries of women and children in fear. Others were calling out for help. Just what was going on?

Then he heard a loud roar that destroyed a very large area of buildings and placed those near into flames.

The entire place trembled as if an earthquake was occurring, but Natsu could tell that the source of all this chaos was coming closer.

He was able to see the figure of a giant monster behind all the debris smoke. When the creature's head came out, Natsu froze on the spot.

It was a dragon.

'D-dragon?' Natsu wondered. The dragon was very different from any he has ever seen. It looked far more frightening than Acnologia. This dragon had pure black glowing eyes, while the rest of it's body shone brightly in multi colored scales. From a certain viewpoint the Dragon would look heavenly, but one look at those eyes and it's as if you are looking at a demonized angel. A fallen Angel, corrupted by evil desires.

It roared fiercely, something about its roar was off. It sounded as if it was in agony, it was in pain. Then, everything went white.

-Porylusica's home-

Natsu's eyes quickly opened and he sat up. He was breathing hard, he was unbelievably sweating. He took quick notice of the bed he was on and of his surroundings. This was where Porylusica resided. The front door creaked open and in came the owner herself.

"You're awake." The woman stoically stated.

"What happened? Why am I here?" Were his questions.

"You don't remember? I was told you were hit by the spell Airspace Zero. It's a technique in which the target's magic power is drained completely, resulting in death."

"Oh, yea I remember. I guess they brought me here so that I could get healed. Wait, how are all of my friends?! Are they alright?"

"Unfortunately for you, they are not. After you collapsed Fairytail retreated back to their guild. Shortly after, they were struck by that Phantom Lord guild. Honestly, you Humans always cause trouble and pain for each other." She inferred.

'So they're still fighting. It's the same as before, Erza must have tried to protect the guild from that Jupiter Cannon. Erza... please be alright.' Natsu thought to himself. "Well thanks for healing me, but I need to go. My guild needs me, and I'm not going to let them down."

'I won't let them down ever again.' He recalled the bloody image of his dead comrades. 'This time I'll do everything possible to keep you guys alive, I promise.'

"Don't get ahead of yourself, you may be the ace of your guild but I highly doubt you'll be able to defeat Phantom's Master. He is a wizard saint after all." Porylusica told him.

"Heh, like I give a damn about that. I'll kick his ass around the world for hurting my family! Just you wait." He said then got up and left without another word. 'None of you have seen the full extent of my power. Back when I fought Gildarts to see who was the strongest in Fairytail, two years after I joined, I had to hold back most of my magic. Since I still have my second origin released, I'm sure I have way more than enough power to defeat that goddamn Jose.'

"Sigh, well I better hurry, Master must be ready to fight Jose. He could use Fairy Law, but I should go anyways in case something in this part of history changes." And with that he took off running at full speed towards the battle area.

-Inside Phantom Lord's Guild hall-

"Erza step back!" Makarov yelled to her. "I'll take care of this."

"Master..." She said losing her words.

Fairytail has been at battle for a while against their rival guild. After Cana's successful destruction of the Jupiter Cannon, the guild hall showed its true form in shape of a robot. Phantom planned to cast the forbidden spell Abyss Break to destroy the entire population of Fairytail. However, Gray Elfman and Cana managed to defeat the rest of the Element Four, since they found out that the four was linked to the robot's power source. After each successful defeat there was only one person left to confront: Jose the master of Phantom Lord and a wizard saint.

The three managed to hold their own against Jose, but he was simply too strong for them. Just when Jose was about to attack them with his Dead Wave, Erza shielded them with her Adamantine Armor once more. She was looking extremely tired, she obviously hasn't fully recovered yet.

"I said stand back Erza, that goes for the rest of you." Makarov ordered them and they reluctantly moved away to a safe distance where they could watch.

"Hahaha, finally things are starting to get interesting!"Jose said. "How long has it been Makarov, since our last fight?"

"It's been too long Jose. But now you must pay for what you have done to my children!" Master yelled as he started to charge up magical power between his hands.' I can sense it, how strong he is, he outmatches me by far. But if I plan to win I'll have to use that. Truly, having such power at his age is impressive, it's a shame he doesn't lead this generation to a greater future.'

"If you think you can defeat me by using the legendary spell: Fairy Law, then you are gravely mistaken..."

Makarov's eyes widened in shock. How did he know that's what he was planning? Jose shot a Dead Wave at Makarov causing him to crash into the stone walls of the guild and losing his concentration.

"I know of that spell's reputation. It can defeat all that the caster believes is the enemy, isn't that correct?" Jose asked as he charged up an orb of dark magical energy and aimed it Makarov whom was trying to stand up. "Well, there's a great difference between our powers, so now is the end for you."

As soon as the magic ball was fully charged, Jose fired it at Makarov and caused a giant explosion, shrouding the results from view.

"Master!" Erza shouted in fear, but her eyes caught swift movement in front of her. Her eyes widened as she found what it was. It was Natsu, with the master passed out on his shoulder.

Natsu quickly placed down the master in front of Erza and faced Jose. She only had a brief second, but she could see the expression on his face. He had the expression of deep hatred.

"You must be Salamander, Fairytail's ace. The guild's very own Dragonslayer." Jose said.

"Shut up. You'll pay for what you've done to my family and friends." He said as he ignited his fists.

"Hahahaha! Do you really think YOU could defeat me?! You may be the ace of your pipsqueak guild, but do you think you are a match for me if your puny master couldn't even handle it?!"

Jose fired a ghost shaped purple beam at him but was easily dodged.

"Between you and me, I'm not as strong as you think I am." Natsu vaguely said.

"Hmm? What are you going on about you brat?"

Instead of answering, Natsu released more of his magical power; completely surprising everyone around him. He didn't release all of it however, he didn't want anyone to witness his true power to lower suspicion. Yet, it still overpowered the Phantom Lord's Master.

"This power...HOW DO YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER?!" Jose really was steaming now.

"That's not all, I did tell you that I would make you pay, didn't I?" Natsu said with a ferocious look in his eyes. Everyone looked up when they heard thunder.

MODO: RAIEN RYU!

A flash, that's all they saw in one second. They had to cover their eyes through fear of becoming blind. When all of them opened their eyes, there he was. Surrounded by fire and lightning fused together.

'Is that really Natsu? Has he always had this kind of power?' Erza thought with wide eyes.

'What unbelievable magic power! Is that the power of two dragon slayers fused together?! How much do we really know Natsu?' Makarov thought in astonishment.

"You... JUST WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Jose roared.

"I... am Natsu Dragneel, Fairy Tail's Dragonslayer." He eerily said. Natsu began inhaling a ton of air.

Raien Ryu no... HOKO! (Done the same way like during the Tenro Arc)

A spiraling column of flames and lightning shot towards Jose in the blink of an eye. Natsu's roar caused the entire Phantom guild to collapse and disintegrate.

There he lay, on the brink of death, unconscious. Jose had been easily beat, easily overpowered.

A/N: Again sorry for being super busy and not updating. Sorry for the short chapter, I'll try to make time to make things longer. Next update: Bonds of a Dragon and a Demon.
