Zera POV
"If you go right now I can defeat acnologia and destroy any hope of him ever returning. I will kill acnologia if you let me get you out of here. Go stay on tenrou island and Mavis can send a thought projection to tell you when people are coming. Just go and let me take you. Or go to your empire across the sea, yeah I know all about Alvarez! Now go! I need you to go!"
"okay"
"I said g- wait you'll leave?"
"yes."
"I'll go with him. I'll watch him, and I'll send a thought projection your way soon. Goodbye Zera." Mavis said as a tear ran down her thought cheek. But then it dribbled off her chin and splattered on the ground. Mavis was a person again and she was hugging the life out of me.
"we're proud of what you've become and are so sorry that you have to rectify our mistakes..." Zeref said smiling before grabbing onto Mavis' shoulders planting a kiss on my forehead and they disappeared in a flash of light. They were gone.
I ran from the alley, not turning back for even a second. Even if I did, they weren't coming back. They knew I had wisdom beyond even their years.
When I emerged from the alley I was in the middle of a full on defensive strike. I thought I had asked them to just hold off Acnologia not annihilate him!
I used the elements to make artificial gravity and Acnologia crumpled against the ground like he was being flattened and was trapped in place, not a claw moving. He was stuck. But the roars he released in protest to his unfortunate predicament showed how much anger was trapped underneath his inanimate form.
"Everyone!" I called gaining some of the attention I wanted but not enough. I floated up over the clouds and came straight down in front of Acnologia. I looked at the ground hands clenched in fists, almost as if they were punching the very air beneath them, but that was currently my only way to keep my hold on Acnologia.
"Where is the master?" I asked in an almost mouse like tone and frightened manner. Every time Fairy Tail has fought a large foe master has had an incident, even when fighting his own grandson.
No one would look at me. Why wouldn't they look at me. No one spoke. That is until Porlyusica came from the very top of our home base building and looked at the ground as a single tear rolled from her eye.
"No" I whispered and allowed myself to fall ten feet, from the air I hovered in to the ground not even softening my impact. I fell strainght to the ground. I was sad. I was crushed. I was infuriated. Master had to give up his life to save the rest of us and it still was not enough to slay the dragon.
Before I knew what I was doing, my fists lifted giving Acnologia a little room but immediately I slammed them back down against the ground. My tiny fists made no dents. I needed to break something, I needed the ground to crack and crumble beneath me, I needed it to move and give me some sort of satisfaction. I needed some releif from this Earthland shattering pain and guilt of not being there to help my guild that was eating me from inside out.
The pain of losing another family member broke me to a point where everything was breaking around me. I didn't realize it but in my anguish my gravity field extended and not the ground in front of me was splintering while my fellow guildmates stood in disbelief at the power resonating from such a tiny person. I was the great granddaughter of the founding master of Fairy Tail and the most powerful Black Wizard to walk this continent. I was Zera Vermillion/Dragneel and I would not be afraid.
I levitated up high and higher until I was higher than Acnologia, himself, was tall. I then turned my badpck to my guildmates. There was no way I could face them with that look on my face, those tears leaking down my cheeks and the weakness showing through my unusually thick skin.
I pummeled Acnologia deeper and deeper into the ground until his own beating put him in a hole deep underground. Lightning struck, but came down in 17 different colored beams. The beams of my elements. The Elemoores. I put my own full force behind them and what came from that light was an artificial apocalypse roar.
When the dust clouds settled and we could all see the same thing. Acnologia was at the bottom of that hole and he was ripped to shreds.
Dead.
It was over.
I couldn't believe it was over.
I let myself fall again.
This time I fell hundreds of feet through the air yet some how landed softly and safely in the arms of a boy. His short black hair covered his eyes when you looked at him from above or the same level, but from below, like I was in his arms I could see his eyes, black as midnight clouded with fury.
He carried me to a makeshift cott in our headquarters, or if you could even call it that. I caused more destruction than I thought possible. I was glad that the townspeople were safely evacuated. When he placed me down he sat and I could see a girl beside him.
She wore a long pink dress some would call prude, but for her it was perfect. Her golden hair flowed from her small head and cascaded behind her flowing with every step she took, even as a thought projection. A Fairy Tactitian as some called her, but those who knew her just called her a fairy. A fairy with a cause to fight for and people to fight with. Those to stand with and order. Those who listened closely to her every command. Even when her usually mischevious and child like eyes turned dark and cloudy with anger saying "Bury that thing in a grave so deep he'll never crawl out of it even if it did survive."
Mavis...Zeref
My great grandparents.
