Chapter Three: Goodbye Natsu
The explosion that appeared eventually dissipated, allowing both Wendy and Chelia to uncover their eyes. The two women were confused as to what exactly just happened, from what they could see both Romeo and E.N.D were confused as they were before the Fel Energy reacted violently.
"What just happened?" Wendy asked the pink haired woman next to her, who didn't have the answer.
"I don't know." Chelia admitted to the blue haired Sky Dragon Slayer.
But then, their eyes widened as they looked back up, hoping to see Romeo was still alright.
Instead though, they saw something that got them to be shocked and worried. Where Romeo and E.N.D used to be, there was a literal tear in the sky high above them. Even from where they were, they could feel the limitless amount of Fel Energy radiating from the green portal. And there was no Romeo or E.N.D in sight either.
"W-What is that?" Chelia questioned, worry filled her whole being at seeing the demonic-like portal.
Before Wendy would speak up to answer her…
"Wendy! Chelia!" Both woman heard a man's voice, and turned around only to see Maread and some other soldiers arriving and running towards them. Seeing the large group of soldiers and the general got the two women to be surprised.
"Maread? What are you doing here?" Wendy asked the still injured general of the Minstrel forces. The blue haired and pink haired women could tell that Maread still suffered from E.N.D's attack on him.
"We couldn't just say behind and let you all face the demon alone," Maread explained to the two females, before a look of concern took hold of the white haired man's face," Where's Romeo?"
As soon as he asked that question, the general and the soldiers with him then noticed the giant rip of Fel in the sky above them. Seeing the tear as well as feeling the demonic energies leaking out of the portal got them all to widen their eyes in shock.
"By the light… what is that?" Maread spoke in disbelief by what he was seeing.
"We don't know." Chelia told him, before she and Wendy looked back at the tear in the sky once more.
'BACK AT THE PALACE'
"Ve'ra?" King Caesar spoke in confusion as the bright light in the center of the chamber that he, Julia, Asuka, and the few guards that were present, were in begun to act rather oddly, which confused them all.
Before they knew it, the bright light then shined brightly, blinding them for a moment before they were able to see again. The bright light was now a small ball of l;ight before it bolted out of the chamber right pass them all, shocking them all.
"What the?" King Caesar muttered out in confusion and worry.
"What's going on?" Both Julia and Asuka asked at once.
The King didn't have an answer to them all, wondering where Ve'ra was going. She never did something like this before, and thus got the King of Minstrel to be concern.
Back with Wendy, Chelia, Maread, and the soldiers with them, all of them noticed the small ball of light flying above them in the sky as it went pass them all.
"Huh? What is that?" Wendy questioned, not knowing it was the same light being that blessed them earlier in order to face off against the pink haired demon.
No one could answer her, as they could only watch the ball of light flying right into the green portal tear in the sky. They didn't know why, but they couldn't help but feel like something big was about to happen.
'INSIDE THE PORTAL'
A ball of smoke was seen crashing onto a floating asteroid, causing a small explosion as Romeo was seen being launched into the ground of the rock he now stood on. The dark purple haired male let out a groan as he slowly got back up on his feet.
"Ugh… what just happened?" Romeo managed to mutter in confusion as he slowly stood back up.
The Fire Mage widened his eyes in shock by what he saw around him. All around him demonic energies warped all around. The colors of the space he was in flashed from green, purple, and pure black, constantly merging and changing all around the dark purple haired male. From the distance he could see entire broken and shattered worlds, consumed and enveloped completely by the Fel. And even farther as his eyes could see, he could even spot what looked like stars in the distance all around him, as well as very far distance mashes of worlds and stars, though he could only see a few of these unknown collisions of planets and stars from the lone asteroid he was on. The demonic energies all around him also messed with his senses, as the very space around him continued to appearing to be warping and changing. Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that he was so focus on E.N.D, he would surely have gone insane by now.
A roar of fury though got his attention, as the dark purple haired Fire Mage turned around only to see an enrage E.N.D emerge from the smoke. From the looks of things, the collision of Fel seemed to have damaged E.N.D just as much as it did to Romeo. The pink haired demon then glared at the mortal with such hatred it could kill a man.
"You… you…," E.N.D started to say, before he roared in rage, "YOU ACCURSED MORTAL!"
Romeo eyes widen as a large amount of Fel Energy begun to admit from the injured demon, it was enough to shake the entire asteroid they were on. This shocked Romeo. How did the demon still have this much power left in his disposal? The raw power alone made it hard for Romeo to breath.
"I'M THROUGH WITH YOU! AND I'M THROUGH WITH YOUR WORLD! WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU I'M SENDING YOUR ENTIRE PLANET TO KINGDOM COME!" E.N.D bellowed out with hatred and fury. He had enough of being made a fool by these mortals!
His words though got Romeo's eyes to widen; E.N.D was going to do what?
E.N.D then flew high up in the air above Romeo and the large rock he stood on. With another yell of hate, the pink haired demon begun to gather enough Fel Energy into his hands in order to be unleashed upon his enemy. Romeo, whose eyes widened from what he was seeing, lifted up his right hand, while using his left hand to grab the wrist of his right hand. And with that, he too begun to channel enough magical energy in him, from his Rainbow Fire to the Fel Energy in him, he charged up.
The energy being radiated from both the demon and the human was enough to cause the surface of the asteroid they were on to begun to shake and splinter. Romeo knew that this was his only chance to take the demon down. He can't fail here! If he did then everyone at home was done for!
"SAY GOODBYE PATHETIC INSECT!" E.N.D's voice boomed across the Nether at the dark purple haired male below him.
And with that, the pink haired demon fired off his massive beam of Fel Energy right at the dark purple haired Fire Mage. Romeo let out a yell before he too fired off his own beam of Rainbow fire and Fel Fire at the opposing beam.
The two attacks collided, causing a massive shockwave to be emitted. Both E.N.D and Romeo were putting everything they had into the two attacks, hoping to overpower the others and ultimately defeat the other. Sadly for Romeo though, E.N.D's attack begun to overpower and push back Romeo's own attack. This got the pink haired demon to laugh out loud from his position in the air, while Romeo struggled to push the attack back.
'No! It can't end like this!' Romeo thoughts to himself as he shut his eyes, trying to give it his all to push the opposing attack back, 'Everyone is counting on me to win this! I can't let him win!' His thoughts then went to everyone he knew throughout his life. From when he was a young boy to where he was now, images flooded his mind. From his family and friends who he lost to the demon's ire, to new friends and allies they made during the demon's rampage. And last but not least, an image of both Wendy and Chelia filled his head, as both an angered and determined look appeared on his face, 'I refuse to give up! I will save them! I will avenge them!'
And then, as he finished thinking those thoughts…
A burst of light then appeared right behind the dark purple haired Fire Mage, getting him to open his eyes as he felt the warmth and power coming off from behind him. This also got E.N.D's attention as well from his spot in the sky.
"WHAT?!" E.N.D shouted in shock. What the heck was that thing with the mortal?!
Behind Romeo, was a creature of light made up of shards of fractured light, a being of living, sentient energy, one of the most pure beings of the Holy Light throughout the entire Universe, this being was a Naaru. This specific one was named Ve'ra, the secret of the Minstrel Kingdom.
"Ve'ra…" Romeo managed to mutter in surprised, note expecting the white being of the light itself to aid him in battle. As he said that, a melodic voice filled his head.
'The Light does not abandon its champions,' Her voiced was heard in his head, as Romeo grew more confident and joyful at her presence, 'Now, let us save your world!'
And with those words, Romeo turned his attention back to the demon above him before letting out a mighty yell, as both his power and Ve'ra's eveloped with one another and fired off and combined. The empowered beam of magical energy was enough to push back against E.N.D's own attack, shocking and horrifying the demon.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" roared in anger, seeing his attack being pushed back as both Romeo's and Ve'ra's own attacks begun to approach him. He was giving all of his power in his blast, so how was he loosing?!
As Romeo and Ve'ra continued to give it their all against the pink haired demon's own beam, memories once again flashed into the dark purple haired Fire mage's mind. Memories of a simpler time, before everything became ruined, images of a smiling pink haired Fire Dragon Slayer could be seen flashing in the Fire Mage's eyes. With a few tears forming and being blown away due to the intensity of the attacks, Romeo simply had one final thought before he and Ve'ra finished this once and for all.
'Goodbye… Natsu!' Romeo thought to himself with more tears streaming down his face from the thought.
And with that, Romeo let out another yell as both him and Ve'ra gave everything they had to obliterate the demon's own attack. E.N.D could only widen his eyes in fear and anger as he saw himself being overpowered.
"I CAN'T LOOSE LIKE THIS! I AM E.N.D! I AM THE STRONGEST! I AM- AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" E.N.D started to shout before his attack was destroyed as both Romeo's and Ve'ra's own struck right into him, even continuing onward even as the beam of magic and light enveloped him.
The only thing that could be hear was a cry of hatred and agony as E.N.D was slowly consumed and obliterated by the combined attack of Romeo and Ve'ra.
And with that, E.N.D, the greatest threat to Earthland, was no more.
'BACK ON EARTHLAND'
"Look!" Maread exclaimed at the others, as they all looked up at the portal once again in the sky. To their surprised, the tear in the sky began to close slowly, "The portal is closing."
They all merely looked at the closing portal-like tear, though it did little to ease the worry of both Wendy and Chelia. Where was Romeo? Why isn't be coming out?
"No… Romeo…" Both women whispered in fear, as a few tears started to form in their eyes. What if… what if he didn't make it?
However, right before the tear in reality closed completely, a bright ball of light was seen emerging from the portal, as the tear closed completely behind it. The light then slammed right into the ground, causing the others to cover their eyes for a moment from the little shockwave the crash cause, as well as the bright light that blinded them. Luckily it died down, allowing them to see once more.
What they saw in front of them got them all to smile widely, and for both Wendy and Chelia, got them to shed a few tears of joy. Standing not far from them, was Romeo, injured but alive, and behind him was the Naaru Ve'ra herself.
"Hey…" Romeo managed to speak with a small smile on his face.
This didn't stop Wendy and Chelia from tackling the dark purple haired male with tears and happiness, as Maread and the guards simply looked at the sight before them.
No words needed to be said, as the mere presence of both Romeo and Ve'ra were enough to tell them. At last, Earthland was finally free.
They have won.
Alright there we go. The next and last chapter will tell the aftermath of the battle as well as an epilogue. So what did you all think? Good? Bad? Want me to stab myself in the face? Let me know.
See you all next time, whenever that will be.
