"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Sound*

"Attack name!"

Fire poured out of END's eyes and there was a bright flash of white. The fireball that was about to consume the group of wizards was distinguished and there was an exchange of glares through the smoke. Erza was confused as were Zeref and Mavis. Who was END glaring at? They followed his glare to behind the where somebody was standing over their crouched form. The smoke began to clear and slowly it went away from him. "N-NATSU!" Erza yelled and he nodded, not even giving her a glance. His glare was dead set on END. His scowl matching his intense demeanor and power.

His magic power then amplified and red scales appeared on his face and forearms. He was wearing nothing on his upper body and his lower body was covered by a pair of baggy white pants and bare feet. He wore nothing on his neck and this revealed his X-Shaped scar on his neck that he hadn't talked about before. He began to leak steam and red flames began to pour out of his pores. END growled. "What are you doing here, you bastard!? I thought I had sealed you away for good!? You know what? It doesn't matter…" He began to resonate magic power, matching Natsu's. "I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" He roared and he dashed forward. Natsu did as well and they both threw a punch, connecting fists.

The group of wizards flew back and slid to a halt. "What happened? He's on a whole different level?" Zeref smiled slightly. "It's not that… he just wants to make END to pay for what he's done to hurt you. Not only that but he wants to protect what's dear to him. Be it his brother or his girlfriend." Erza nodded and turned her attention back to the fight.

Natsu ducked under a flaming punch and he spun on his hands kicking with fire coated feet which END jumped back from. Natsu then sprung forward with a heavy push from his hands and he kicked at END who dodged to the side and tried to punch Natsu in the gut. Natsu deflected the blow and proceeded to knee at END. END jumped up and tried to kick Natsu in the chest but Natsu ducked and uppercutted. END slipped his head to the side and landed on his hands. He kicked up in a handstand but Natsu stepped back and he jumped forward, kicking END in the stomach. END flew back and caught himself on his hands.

They were both breathing heavy but they weren't going to give up. END dashed forward again only this time he took a different approach and he began to dash at immense speeds around Natsu who watched his movements carefully. Natsu dashed forward, surprising END as he kicked him into the air. END growled as Natsu jumped up after him and they both burst into flames,clashing in the air, jumping around and clashing again with sonic booms. They caught each others fists and proceeded to deliver a headbutt that resounded throughout the entire island as their heads began to bleed heavily. Natsu then let out a breath attack point blank, sending the counterpart spiraling into the ground with a crash. He then sprung up and grabbed Natsu, throwing him into the ground and landing on top of him.

Natsu grabbed his leg and used the momentum to slam him into the floor. END jumped back and put his hand down as he slid to a halt. Natsu jumped up and toward him. END dodged to the side, avoiding a heavy fire coated fist. Natsu then swept his leg and END's eyes widened. Natsu kicked him in the gut, sending him into the wall of the tower. END emerged shortly after with flames pouring off of him which Natsu matched and they ran at each other. Natsu kicked at him and END jumped over him, kicking him in the back. Natsu stumbled forward but he dodged the next punch which was aimed at the back of his head and he elbowed END in the temple. END stumbled to the side and Natsu placed his hand on END's chest, gripping his coat.

His hand erupted in an explosion and END flew back. END sprung back quickly and delivered a punch to Natsu's face who flew back and landed with his feet on a wall. Natsu sprung back and headbutted him in the chest with a sword horn attack. END grabbed his shoulders and proceeded to throw him with his momentum into the wall shattering it. END jumped after him and punched at his face but Natsu spun around and kicked him in the back. END was slammed into the wall and Natsu grabbed him, throwing him back into the middle of the room. END slid to a halt and he slowly stood up. He grinned massively. He then dashed forward faster than before and he punch at Natsu swiftly who was surprised by the outburst of speed.

END was absorbing the ethernano left over from the shot. Natsu grinned as this brought back memories. He then began to eat a crystal and he started to suck up energy from the tower. Since his body was already used to it, he didn't have to go through the pain again. His eyes began to glow blue and he began to emit more magical power. END and Natsu both roared and they dashed at each other. They connected fists and they began to throw punches at supersonic speed. Each shockwave sent more and more wind at the other mages. Natsu kicked END in the gut and END grabbed his foot, spinning and throwing him into the wall, punching his chest, sending him further in.

Natsu burst from the wall and he proceeded to knee END in gut. END flew into the air and they once again took the battle into the air, slamming into each other with much more ferocity than before. They looked like two fireballs repeatedly crashing into each other as they flew around and exchanged blows. Natsu then caught his fist and END growled, kicking him in the chest. Natsu growled as well but his was followed by a roar as he grabbed END and he punched him in the face. END flew down and he busted through the floor on the tower. Natsu flew down after him and they began to throw more lightning fast punches and kicks, moving through the tower at immense speed.

Natsu landed a heavy kick to END's stomach but he respond quickly with a heavy punch to Natsu's face and Natsu punched him back. END then kicked him in the chest but Natsu pushed through the kick and punched END in the stomach. END then threw a knee under Natsu's chin and Natsu leaned back before headbutting END. The floor around them was caving in but they didn't care as they exchanged more blows. Natsu was seemingly getting fast too but so was END and they were in a constant struggle, not just for power, but also for to see who would give into pain first.

END growled and Natsu matched it. They were both grinning widely and they were both having fun despite the blood from all their wounds and their bruises. Natsu punched END in the face and END responded quickly with a similar punch. Natsu punched at him and his punch was blocked by END's forearm which Natsu felt crack. He blocked a punch from END with his forearm as well and he could feel his bone crack. He then uppercutted END in the ribs and he hunched over coughing up blood. END responded with a flaming knee to the gut and Natsu coughed up blood before punching him in the face. END stumbled back before kicking Natsu in the chest to which he stumbled back as well. END rushed forward and Natsu spun, delivering a roundhouse kick to his temple. END's eyes widened and he flew at supersonic speed into a wall.

The released more ethernano into the air and caused them to get a power boost. END ran back at him and uppercutted him under the chin, sending him through the roof and onto the floor with the others. "Guys…" Natsu said and he looked behind himself. "I need you to leave the tower." He said and Zeref nodded. Erza wanted to disagree but at the power level he was at they would be more in the way than help. "Natsu." She said and he gave her a soft smile that contradicted the blood and bruises all over his body. SHe ran and kissed him on the lips. He smiled and responded quickly. She pulled back and she looked him in the eyes. "Please come back to me…" He nodded. "I love you…" She said and he nodded again. "I love you too." He said and he placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Hey Natsu!" He gave Ultear a look. "I brought this for you!" She said and she handed him his scarf. He smiled. "Thank you." He wrapped it around his neck. "NOW GO!" He yelled and the ground behind him caught fire as END burst through. Zeref looked back at him. "Good luck Natsu…" Natsu nodded and he turned to face the demon across from him. "I guess I can't really call you a demon huh?" Natsu asked and he grinned. "Can we finally go all out now that they're gone?" Natsu nodded. "That's what I've been waiting for." Their magic increased tenfold and the tower began to shake.

"LET'S FINISH THIS!" Natsu yelled and he dashed ground cracking where he blasted off. END matched him in the middle with a punch that shook the entire island as the ground beneath them was blown away. Natsu kicked him in the gut and he flew at the speed of light into the wall of the tower, easily blowing it away. He got up quickly and charged at Natsu who put up his arms to block a punch from END but the punch was still strong enough to launch him into the tower and go down a few floors. It made Natsu wonder how hard he had really punched Jellal. Speaking of Jellal… Natsu crashed through part of the tower and Jellal emerged flying into the air. He seemed to wake up and he landed on his feet.

He looked around and as END landed next to Natsu he gave them a confused look before a smirk came onto his face. "So… I'll get to kill you twice…" He murmured and his magic power shot up, matching theirs. He then extended his arm toward them and his eyes began to radiate blue. Out of his palm a large blast of Ethernano was fired and it consumed the duo. The large blast went on for miles and obliterated a mountain in the distance. When it died down however, Natsu and END were standing there unharmed, almost as if the blast had a positive effect on them.

Their power seemed to triple and Jellal was almost blown off of his feet. "W-What!?" He yelled and they both appeared in front of him. "Stay out of this!" They simultaneously yelled and both punched Jellal in different places. Jellal's eyes nearly came out of his head as he was thrown through the wall of the tower and kept on flying over the ocean, coated in flames. As soon as he was out of sight they began to exchange more punches. Natsu delivered a heavy punch to END's face. END hunched over but he used the momentum to swing forward and punch Natsu the gut twice as hard. Natsu slammed his hands down on END's head in a hammerfist motion and he hunched forward heavily before Natsu delivered a knee to his face.

END coughed up blood and flew back but he quickly rebounded off the wall and the wall crumbled beneath his feet. The tower was being torn apart. END kicked Natsu in the chest with a flaming foot and Natsu slid back before grabbing the foot and throwing END into the air. END let loose a massive breath attack and Natsu burst through it with a punch to the face. END then kneed him in the gut. Natsu hunched over but he responded quickly and used his momentum to deliver a devastating uppercut to END's stomach. They both flew back in mid air and END grew wings. Natsu landed on the ground and glared up at END. A ball of white fire formed in the etherious' hands and he threw it at Natsu who flipped to the side, dodging it. He then jumped up and they clashed in the air.

They broke apart and Natsu was suspended in mid-air for a moment. In that time END slashed him from all directions at supersonic speeds. Natsu grabbed him however and punched him in the gut before delivering a bone shattering kicked to his temple, sending him plummeting. END fly back up at Natsu who was surprised and he received a heavy punched to the gut. Natsu flew higher into air and coughed up blood. He began to ragdoll and he landed with a thud before standing up somewhat shakily. He glared up at the smirking demon and Natsu's mouth curved into a similar grin. He flipped back dodging another fireball and he jumped off a wall of the tower and into END's back, planting his knee deep into the spot in between END's red wings.

The both fell and with a crash and a cloud of dust, glowing eyes pierced the cloud.

-Erza-

Erza was running with her group of people across the shore line and Mavis put them all in a fairy sphere so that they could go across the water and watched from a safe distance. She saw a body fly out of the side and her eyes widened as she spotted the familiar hair and tattoo. "Jellal?" SHe asked aloud and she noticed that the fighting had stopped for a moment before they resumed and their magic power tripled. From the bottom of the tower it looked like two fireballs crashing in the sky,

"He will be ok. Natsu has amazed me more than once and I barely even know the new him." Erza turned to Zeref. "You have explaining to do." She said and she poked him in the chest. He was a little surprised the girls force and strength. Mavis began to giggle. "You are so cute Z." Mavis said she hugged him tightly. He blushed and hugged her back. Ultear giggled as well and she patted Meredy on the head. "Good Job Meredy." She said and Meredy nodded. "If you want Erza, I could do an emotion link but only for things like thoughts. You could communicate with him?" Erza shook her head.

"As fun as that sounds, I have faith, besides I think that would distract him a little and I don't want to to do that. Everything we know and love is on the line with this fight and distracting him could be the end of humanity as we all know it." Meredy nodded and Erza grinned with a small blush adorning her cheeks. "Besides…" She gazed back up at the fight. "He's having so much fun." Zeref, Mavis, Meredy, and Ultear smiled at that. That guy, he was truly a battle addict.

Erza watched as sides of the tower were destroyed just from the force of their punches and she watched the water shake. "They are getting stronger at a phenomenal rate." Zeref whispered just loud enough for everyone to catch it. Erza then remembered something. "Gildarts!" She yelled and they gave her confused looks. "He faced off against the Etherious and tried to save me but he was injured badly…" Zeref nodded. "If it was in Hargeon then he probably had already gotten immediate care."

Erza sighed in relief. "Hey, you wanna watch Lucy's fight?" Meredy asked and they all nodded. They knew that they had to be serious at the moment but she was their friend and they wanted to watch her beat whoever she was fighting. Meredy pulled up a lacrima screen and her eyes widened. Lucy was being held up in the air by a chick with red hair and a crazed look in her eyes.

-Lucy-

Lucy wanted to protect Asuka and she felt her world getting blurry before Flare screamed. "MY HAIR!" She screamed and Lucy saw Leo with red locks of hair in his hands. He nodded at her and he turned to bright gold, disappearing. Lucy began to glow gold for a moment as well. "Open! Gate of the Lion! LEO!" The key on her belt began to glow and Loke came into existence. He was glaring at Flare and he re-adjusted his glasses. "Just it time Leo." Lucy said and Leo cut the hair with his Regalia.

Lucy extended her hand and the Gemini twins came into existence. "You guys know what to do." They nodded and transformed into her before they held their hands together and they began to chant. In the meantime Leo dashed at flare and punched but she hastily dodged to the side. He spun expertly and kicked her in the abdomen but she used hardened hair to cover that spot. She still slid back however and when she moved the hair Leo was gone. She then received a punch to the back and she flew toward Lucy. Leo yelled and Lucy grinned. "Urano Metria!" She yelled and she was cloaked in golden light as was flare and she screamed in pain before she flew into the air with a golden pillar of light and she landed, unconscious with the majority of her hair charred.

The crowd began to cheer and Lucy put her hands up. She began to fall forward and Leo caught her.

-Erza-

Erza smiled and held up her index finger. Mavis gave her a confused look. "It symbolizes the love for out guild." Erza said and Mavis hastily held hers up too. "Oh! By the way, now that we are alive again I wanted to talk to you about something Z." Zeref frowned. "Something serious?" She nodded. "Yeah but it's not a bad thing, I just had a question." He nodded and she leaned on his back looming over him as he sat in a criss cross fashion. "Could you join Fairy Tail?" His eyes widened as did everyone else's.

"M-Mavis… I'm quite literally the dark wizard." She grinned. "Who knows that but us?" He smiled lightly. "Fine. Whatever pleases you." She hugged him tightly. "Awe! I love you!" She yelled and he hugged her back lightly. "Love you too." Erza smiled lightly but she still had questions. "Speaking of which! Why are you, the Dark WIzard, helping us?" He grinned. "If you haven't figured it out already, My name is Zeref Dragneel, The brother of Natsu Dragneel and the all too will boyfriend of the first master of Fairy Tail." He said and he held out his hand. "Oh! And a new member of Fairy Tail!" He said childishly, similar to Natsu.

"Wait… Natsu's brother?" Erza asked after a moment and he nodded. "It's a long story. Basically I was accidentally responsible for his death about three hundred years ago. I secluded myself in my magic and ended up cursed, creating etherious', Natsu being one of them. He was still a baby at the time and I cast a spell to send him further into time so that he could have his own life… I entrusted him to my good friend Igneel." Another voice sounded. "Hmm. That sounds about right." Zeref smiled. "Long time no see Igneel." They all turned toward a man with waist length red hair. He was dressed similar to Natsu and he had an X shaped scar on his eye. His jawline was sharper and he was emitting quite a bit of magical power, almost on Zeref's level.

"I-Igneel!? As in Natsu's dad!?" Erza yelled in shock. He nodded. "Yeah. I just wanted to see how my sons mate is doing." He said and she blushed lightly. "U-Uh…" He grinned, revealing pointy teeth. "Unfortunately for me, I am sealed inside the original body of Natsu which is the etherious that is attacking him, so if that etherious dies, I disappear." Erza slowly nodded in confusion. "I figured I would say hello to my supposed son and my dear old friend before I am wipe out of existence." Erza nodded. She felt bad for him, Natsu, and Zeref but her thoughts were interrupted as they were all thrown off balance.

The sphere was covered with water for a moment but when they submerged they looked at the top of the tower. There was a large white fireball and a large crimson one clashing in the sky. They both roared and the waves grew even more intense, making it impossible for anyone of them to stand. Erza smiled lightly as she enhanced her vision with her magic and she saw the large grin on both of their faces. She loved him so much.

-Natsu-

His grin widened as they clashed with flaming punches in the air. Waves of wind and magic power began to part the clouds and the sky began to darken. Natsu and END began to fly around and clash in random places with punches and kicks that each resounded with a sonic boom. The battle just continued to grow more intense as they headbutted and they began to trade punches again. The heat from their battle began to heat the sky and with a few chemical reactions a small rain cloud covered the tower and a small lightning storm began. Natsu and END clashed again with more force than before.

END and Natsu jumped back to pillars jutting up and they stared at each other for a moment. "Why are you so determined to destroy mankind!?" Natsu asked and END began to chuckle before he burst into full out laughter. "WHY!? Because they are worthless! Look at all they accomplished! Extincion, Genocide, MAGIC IS LITERALLY FADING FROM THIS WORLD!" Natsu grinned surprising END. "W-What's with that look!?"

"If you do this then you aren't any better than them. What you are trying to accomplish defeats the purpose for why you are trying to exterminate them. They may be killing themselves but that doesn't mean I can let you help them do it. Besides, with our new power we can probably make the wizard saints easily and that way we can have a bit of an impact." END shook his head and

Began to lightly chuckle. "OPEN YOUR EYES NATSU! HUMANITY IS UNREDEEMABLE! You and I could rule this world together! We could be gods and correct the world with ease!" Natsu's eyes closed.

"As good as that sounds…" His thoughts flashed to his guild and each one of his friends. He then thought about all the people he had met. Finally Erza came to mind. "I'm fond of my current life…" He then looked at his hands and clenched them into fists. "And if that means I have to destroy myself…" He looked up at END and he blasted toward him. "THEN I WILL GLADLY DO SO!" END roared. "THEN YOU WILL DIE WITH THE REST OF THEM!" He blasted toward Natsu and they connected mid way.

Thus clash was fiercer than before and END's flames began to turn black. Natsu was a little caught off guard but he pushed through it and kept the clash going on his end. He pushed more and END was pushed a little back. Natsu then stopped and kicked him in his back sending him plummeting but END instantly blasted back up with a gust of his wings and punched Natsu in the gut, sending him spiraling up in the air. Natsu used his fire to propel himself toward END. END flew up at him as well and they connected fists.

Fire and wind burst through the area and across the sky. It was as if the world was shaking around them.

Erza watched this from below she could feel the emotion pouring from both of their flames. The waves were now violent and the tower was beginning to crumble more and more with every punch. Erza was a little concerned with the fact that she had spotted the heavenly mage flying from the tower but she didn't show it, she didn't have time to deal with him at the moment.

Natsu had entered another stage in power all together and he would only be held back by her interference but she really wanted to help him… how could she help him. She smiled. She could hope and pray he be ok with all the love in her heart. 'Please be ok.'

Natsu and END clashed fists and grabbed each others hands, pushing as hard as they could. Their flames began to dance and it seemed as if they were fighting each other. Natsu slid to the side and he tried to plant his knee into END's stomach but he leaned back and avoided it before punching Natsu in the face. Natsu roared and punched END with the same amount of force. END roared as well and they clashed again.

The tower began to shake and more etherion began to pour out into the is bodies. Their punches began to grow much faster to the point where their movements were unreadable. They looked like blurs with clashes of fire. END took a heavy blow and flew back, standing on a wall sideways. Natsu jumped at him and END met him halfway. They slammed their heads together in a sword edge motion.

They roared and they didn't move but their fire began to cover the sky and turn it red. The rain being ineffective to stop it. Their fire began to tinge blue with the massive amounts of Etherion consumed. They jumped back and they jumped into the wall, hunching over. END hacked up a little blood and Natsu did as well. They were absorbing way too much etherion. Natsu recovered quicker and he went on to the offensive. He began to pummel END and he slammed him into the wall and threw him into the air, jumping after him.

His eyes widened when his feet were caught by vines and he was slammed to the ground. He looked and saw a man standing in front of a crowd. "Tataros." He growled. Mard Geer grinned at him maniacally. "Wow. So this is the great END." He said as he saw the falling END. "I'm not impressed." He said and END landed on his feet.

END walked to Mard Geer and placed his hand on Mard Geer's head. Mard Geer frowned. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" Mard Geer was then incinerated. END had a cold look on his face and he turned to the other's. "Stay out of this." They back up and in a bright flash they disappeared. "Now where were we!?" He yelled and he punched Natsu. Natsu crossed his arms and was sent like a rocket into the side of the tower.

He coughed up blood from the force of the punch. Where did that massive power boost come from? Natsu then realized. He had flames of emotion like him. That rage was what him so much stronger. He had known that Fairy Tail had been sending him letters and pulled one out of his space. It was Grays.

'Hey flame brain. Wake up you weak sonuvabitch. I am going to kick your ads and show you how much more powerful I am than you! Gramps even made me S-Class. You were demoted because you didn't take the Island trials. HA! I win!

- Your Superior-

Natsu began to leak magic power at the unfathomable rage he was feeling the letter was incinerated and his flames tripled in size. "THAT BASTARD!" He yelled and he blasted toward END. "I'm gonna shove his face in the dirt!" He yelled and they clashed. With Natsu having the upper hand as he pushed END back. Natsu pushed him so hard the his punch went through and END flew out through the side of the tower.

Erza grinned. "He must've read Gray's letter. She remembered how he had wrote that and after he had said he was honestly worried about the 'Flame Brain' Erza remembered how the entire Fairy Tail guild was supportive and all tried something to wake up the comatose Natsu.

She felt a tear fall down her cheeks and she wiped it. She was still a little emotional. She could feel something though. Neither one of them were going all out. As if they were actually concerned about the safety of each other, as if they were friends. She closed her eyes and put her head down. They hadn't even unleashed their second origin yet.

With all the emotion in the atmosphere, they probably forgot about the simple fact that they could. But she wouldn't tell them that, especially if they were going to quite literally destroy the tower. She felt bed for the twin dragon's that Natsu had to fight after this. But then again, they could both be on his level, she didn't know for sure.

END flew back into the tower with a gust from his wings and he punched Natsu in the face with so much force that he flew back across the ground doing rolls. Natsu sprung back and they clashed again, this time with so much ferocity that each blow seemed to break something. They both jumped back, breathing heavy. They were both practically covered in blood and bruises but they refused to back down. Natsu's vision began to get blurry but he stayed on his feet.

END growled. "I'll be back!" He yelled and Natsu's eyes widened. He was going to flee. "No!" Natsu yelled but it was too late and he fell forward as END flew away. The tower began to shake again and Erza's eyes widened. "No! We have to get up there!" Zeref gave her a sad look. "We don't have time, even if we did, we are going to be consumed by the blast anyways."

Natsu was slowly descending the stairs and he fell, getting up shakily and walking slowly again. "Natsu!" He heard and his eyes widened his emotions kicked into overdrive again. "NATSU!" She screamed and he began to run down the stairs with black vision. "Erza…" He muttered. "Erza…" He muttered again and he wanted to fall over. "I will…" He began to sprint and he reached the bottom floor of the tower. "Erza!" He yelled and she ran toward him. He fell over and she slid next to him.

"Natsu…" She muttered he was unconscious. She sighed. Looked like it was going to be a repeat of last time. "Natsu… I'm sorry, I love you." She began to walk to the wall but a hand chopped the back of her neck and she crumpled. Natsu grabbed her bridal style and tears were streaming down his face. He walked out and handed her to Zeref.

He saw Igneel and he tears got heavier. With a simple hug he poured all of his emotions into it. They all hesitantly nodded at him, understanding what he was going to do. He walked back to the tower and he looked back out. Erza had just woken back up. "N-Natsu?" She spotted him and tears began to pour from his eyes. "NATSU!?" She screamed as she realized what was happening he walked in and the tower began to glow brightly before it died down completely and the tower was black. "NAAAATSSSSU!"

- Hey guys Sorry for the sad ending but it had to be done, I am semi satisfied with this arc of the book that I created and I hope you enjoyed it as well. Remember, leave a Follow, Favorite, and review. I totally wasn't crying… *Sob*
