Chapter 13: The Chaos' Return (Minor Editing due to confusions)
Eyes slowly opened. The warm rays of the sun hit his exhausted face. He felt his somewhat sticky back from all the sweat, attaching itself to the bed from the previous day's events. He sat up gently, as to not to awake the peacefully-sleeping beauties next to him; one on each side.
He looked over at them and let a smile take over his features. They seemingly glowed in satisfaction, with satisfied and happy smiles as they dreamt. Mirajane started to mumble and began to stir as her source of heat left her.
She blinked her eyes to adjust to the brightness of the room. She smiled like the sweet and gentle Mira of his past life when she met his eyes. Said woman wrapped her arms around him from his right and gave him a small kiss on his lips, to which he returned.
"Hey..." Her voice was so soft and gentle.
"Hey, did you sleep okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I slept well, thanks." She smiled softly at him but then it morphed into one of curiosity. "You said before we were going to go somewhere right?"
"Oh that's right. After Loke told us he was returning to the Celestial Spirit World, he said he had tickets to go to a fancy resort to give to us. Since he offered, I figured we could go and bring some of our friends."
"That's a great idea Natsu. We should head to guild then go pack up. Let's head there in the afternoon." Erza said sitting up and rubbing her tired eyes.
"Looks like you're up, and that sounds fine. " Natsu said getting up. They began getting ready and after an hour they left for the guild. When they reached the guild hall, they saw many guild members fixing the tables and chairs. It seemed that they partied hard last night, something Natsu wanted to be a part of, but he knew his girlfriends came first.
"Oh hello you guys!" Lisanna said waving from behind the bar. The three moved over to the bar and sat down. The youngest Strauss sibling told them about the crazy shenanigans that occurred in the guild during the party. Natsu wandered away in his thoughts, he was thinking about who to bring with them to the resort. Lucy was definitely coming, and he was thinking about inviting the stripper. But he also wanted Wendy and Gajeel to have some fun for "old time's" sake. Grumbling over his minor situation, he decided to ask later.
Aside from thoughts of the resort, he felt something. He felt as if something was off. Like if he was forgetting something but couldn't remember. He went over to his team's usual table.
"Lucy, Gray, you guys wanna join Erza, Mira and me to the resort?" The dragonslayer ased showing them his ticket.
"Oh I've been waiting to go there ever since Loke gave them to us! But...i don't want to intrude." The blonde looked over at the two women by the bar as she spoke.
He laughed lightly. "Oh don't worry about it! We planned this ourselves sometime ago, so don't worry about it."
Lucy nodded in understanding."Ok, I'll come!" Gray nodded his answer afterwards.
"How about you guys?" He asked Wendy and Gajeel.
"Sorry Salamander, but we're going on a trip to check something out." Gajeel responded.
"Alright, let me know if you find anything interesting." Receiving a nod, he turned back to his group. "Okay, we're heading out this afternoon!"

Later they were all together now around a table in the guild just waiting on Erza. Said mage had gone back to her place at Fairy Hills where she kept all her stuff. She has been there for almost an hour.
"Jeez, what's taking her so long!? I wanna get this show on the road!" Natsu complained.
"Calm down Natsu, you know how Erza is; always bringing too much stuff on trips. Seriously, that Ginger." Mirajane said.
"Yeah i guess." Inwardly, he was laughing at her usual habits. Truly, she never changed, and he would prefer her not to.
"You guys we have a huge problem!" Levy came running through the doorway, she seemed hurt!
"Levy what happened? Where's Erza?" He started remembering something.
"No! Levy's hurt and we couldn't protect her!" Jet and Droy cried ashamed, but no one listened to them.
"Fairy Hills was attacked by a strange group of people who turned everyone into cards! They took Erza too!" Levy exclaimed. She also explained how she used her magic to cleverly escape.
"Gray, Lucy, Juvia, follow me!" Not explaining why he demanded them to come he began running out of the guild.
"Natsu wait! I'm coming too!" Mira shouted out to him.
"No, you should stay, i need someone strong like you to guard the guild in case we get attacked again." It was a lie, he knew it, but she didnt seem to notice.
"Are you sure?" Recieving a quick nod, she reluctantly obliged.
The formed group ran to some unknown location. When asked where they were going, he simply told them after Erza. Honestly, they should've known that.
(A/N: Don't remember what happened so I'm just gonna make up some stuff. Don't hate me for it.)
They reached the coast after a while of running. It was the afternoon now. Natsu quickly looked around for the boat he remembered was somewhere around here.
"Juvia, could you transport us through the water?" Natsu asked quickly not wanting to waste time.
"Of course, but to where?" She spoke hurriedly seeing the dire situation. Normally, if it wasn't so bad, she would be fainting over the idea of being with Gray, but this wasn't the time for that.
The dragonslayer feigned to sniff the air: he already knew where he had to go. He gave a direction, they all got on, and Juvia helped to move the boat across the water.
As they all waited for their destination, they couldn't help but look at Natsu. For someone who was renowned for his motion sickness, Natsu didn't even seem to notice that he was on transportation, and they didn't dare to inform him. After what seemed like an hour of sea traveling, a black structure came into view.
"Huh? A black tower?" Lucy asked the obvious yet again.
"Yeah, that's the Tower of Heaven, or also known as the R system. A group of Cultists seem to have been here for a long time trying to revive the most evil dark mage in history, Zeref." Natsu explained as they stopped a small distance away.
"How do you know all of that?" The blonde wondered. He didn't answer however as his mind wandered off. He felt as if his world began to disappear.

"Hey have you ever heard of demons?" Said a female who was looking towards a clearing.
Natsu suddenly saw himself somewhere else, someplace he didn't know of. In front of him was a young girl, who dressed rather elegantly. She was really pretty.
"D-Demons?! N-no i haven't!" He heard a male.
"Really? I'm surprised. Well apparently demons are terrible creatures that love to cause pain to others."
"You dont say..." Just what was this? His memory? No it couldn't have been, he would surely remember at least the girl. He decided to observe for now.
"That's what i heard anyway, some of the refugees were talking about them earlier. Since, you know, that big attack happened..."
"Yeah...but you know what?! I think you shouldn't judge anything until you've met it! I'm not saying go find a demon or some monster, but you know." He now realized the voice came from him.
"Yeah i guess you're right, even if they're not human like us, that's still stereotypical isn't it?"
"Yeah, even if they're not human like us..."
"What's wrong? You've been a little down recently. I worry so much for you, you know."
"Oh, no, I'm okay! Really!"
"You sure? I don't want anything to happen to my beloved future husband ya know!" He, or him, was her future husband?!
"Heh, yeah, husband..."
"What? Don't tell me you don't want to marry me haha!" She teased.
"No! Don't ever say that! It's nothing though, don't worry. I'm just a bit tired." He complied.
"Hmm, well ok good! As long as you're alright! I don't want anything to happen before that special day, i can't wait you know!" She spoke cheerfully.
"Yea me either. Too bad we gotta wait a ton of years huh?" He spoke disappointedly.
"Yea but that's okay! At least we can spend these last few years as friends and not strangers, unlike others." She said a bit pitiful for others who were unlucky.
A small quake shook the area.
"Princess Tera!" Clinking could be heard. A knight perhaps?
"Sir Dulnir! What is it?" The girl now named Tera asked worriedly.
"That demon has reached our castle! We have to head to the underground bunker where your parents are!" Dulnir hurriedly told.
"Right! Let's go to the safe place!" Tera said to her future husband.
Their footsteps made sounds of crunching leaves underneath them. They ran, they ran, and they ran. Eventually they reached a completely destroyed castle where a huge demon like creature hovering over it all.
"Run away! It's Ielban (Pronounced: Yelban)!" They take it that was its name.
"Ielban, the destroyer of the land, has finally reached us." The knight said. "Come! We must make haste before it catches a glimpse of us!"
With that they returned to running, all the while he kept looking towards the said demon. Something about it, drew him in, and Natsu had no idea what to make of the situation. It was huge. A dark blue in color, with rather oddly yellow claws. It had sharp jaws close to the form of a lizard's mouth. It had ruby eyes with the look of craving for destruction.
He saw Ielban look at him and he gained a bad feeling, not of fear for his life, but fear of self exposure. As it looked at him, it's hungry eyes gained a happy look; such as a lost child finding its mother.
"M-M-Master?!" It began to bow at him. Everyone everywhere and around him froze as they turned to "Natsu's" direction.
"W-what does he mean, m-master?!" Tera said whom was slowly backing away. She was old enough to understand the context. It was either that he was the rumored Zeref, creator of demons, or a demon himself. She couldn't figure out which one was worse.
He was staring at the ground now, his eyes shadowed. Natsu felt pain in his jaw.
He was clenching his teeth angrily...
As he looked up they all could see his eyes having changed to a demonic red.
"How...dare you...CALL ME THAT?!" He roared as his right hand became a claw and encased in black flames, no longer visible, then slashed the air in front of him, in Ielban's direction. As the huge demon froze, with a wide-eyed expression, his body slowly fell apart into five pieces.
He then heard louder screaming, everyone far more terrified now.
The last thing he knew as his sight blurred out, was that his now red vision, was from blood.
XxxxXxxXXXXxxxxxXxXXXXXxxxXXXXxxx
He blinked as he came back to reality.
"Natsu we've arrived on the island." Juvia said as she stopped right on the shore.
Natsu had questions about what he saw, but decided to ask questions later and focus on getting Erza.
"Alright then, let's go find Erza and bring her back home." He said as they all nodded in agreement.
They decided to sneak their way in by an underwater passage. Thanks to Juvia, they were able to safely swim through without losing air. As they surfaced, making sure that everyone came out alright, they were quickly surrounded by strangely black cloaked people.
"Crap! We're surrounded already?!" Gray shouted.
"T-Those are..." Natsu was wide eyed. These people weren't the ones he fought in his original time. They were far worse, but the question is, why were they here?!
"What is it Natsu?" Lucy asked. "Are they those Zeref Cultists you told us about?"
"...No." They were shocked as they turned to him. "These are..." The cloaked men were about to cast magic. "Zeref Cultists..." One of them shot large rock formations and materials around them almost effortlessly. "...from the future."
"The future?!" They all shouted.
Landing earth kicked up dust and destroyed the ground where they were.
