"Talking"

'Thinking'

*Sound*

"Attack name!"

"NATSU!" Erza screamed at the top of her lungs in fear and sadness. Tears poured from her eyes and she broke free from Zeref's grip, kicking him away as she ran toward the crumbling tower. "NO! PLEASE!" She screamed and her fears were confirmed when she found his scarf in the rubble but no sign of him. "No no no no…" She didn't want to lose him again. "NO!" She screamed again, still in denial that he was gone. Igneel joined her in looking through the rubble. "Natsu…" Igneel muttered. He could still sense his power but it seemed to be everywhere, in every rock and every grain of sand, it was as if he fused with the Island. It seemed that Natsu was unable to execute END so he was still there.

"Please don't leave me! I don't know what to do without you!" She screamed and a voice rang in her head. 'C'mon Erza, you know very well the guild would be lost without you, go protect them until I get back!' She could just immagine his grin. Her tears got heavier.

"Erza…" He said and he made his way to her. "Go. I'll stay and search for Natsu. I don't think it's safe for you to be here, END could come back any moment and Acnologia is only temporarily beaten. Take my friend Zeref, Mavis and the other two with you and leave the Island, after I find him I'll fly back to Fairy Tail." Erza wanted to say no but she couldn't, he was right, Natsu wouldn't want his sacrifice to go to waist and the only one that could even remotely stand up to END and Acnologia right now was Igneel. She hesitantly nodded. Igneel was probably the best bet to find him anyway with the enhanced senses.

Zeref chanted for a moment and a black portal opened. He slumped however as the spell took a massive reserve of magic. "Let's go." He said and they stepped through, leaving Igneel. Igneel sighed.

-Somewhere Else-

'Dark…' Eyes scanned the area. It was complete abyssal darkness. In the dark falling down slowly was Natsu. Tears were slowly raising out of his falling eyes. 'Erza…' His look hardened. "Er...za…" He managed to stammer out. He could barely breathe. His lungs were burning. The falling increased speed and he looked below himself. It was bright light getting closer. His eyes widened. 'I'm… dead?' He asked and he saw his guild. He landed on his feet and his ankles cracked but the pain disappeared immediately. He glowed white and he was in a red vest with white pants and barefoot. He looked down again and below him was a rainy day.

His guildmates were all dressed in black and they were all crying, including Gray. He frowned and tears fell from his eyes. 'Why am I crying?' His thoughts echoed. He heard the voice of Makarov.

"We are gathered here today to mourn over a lost member of Fairy Tail, He was as strong as he was loyal, He fought for his love and his friends until his final seconds, sacrificing himself to save his lover. We are here to mourn over Natsu Dragneel, he passed too young." Even Igneel in his human form was there. Natsu heard determined footsteps. "You had better wake up this instant Natsu!" His eyes widened as Erza came into view and she stopped in front of his grave. "YOU BASTARD! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME! YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME…"

"I do love you Erza!" He yelled and he tried to jump toward her but he couldn't, instead he was connected with an invisible wall. "ERZA!" He yelled and his heart felt like it was going to explode with the amount of emotions that were going through his chest. "I'm still here!" He yelled and she stomped on his headstone, breaking it. She was tackle by Gray and Elfman. "IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL LOVE!? IF IT IS, THEN I'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN! IF YOU REALLY LOVE ME…"

She broke free from their grip. "THEN YOU WILL GET THE FUCK UP!" She screamed at the top of her lungs before collapsing onto the stone. She began to cry her eyes out. He wasn't in the grave however and the tears of everyone increase. "You're right." He began to emanate magical power. "I won't give up!" Thoughts flashed through his mind and they were displayed in front of him. They were older versions of him and Erza with two small kids. A boy with his features, brown eyes, and beat red hair, and a girl with her features, his onyx eyes, and a long wavy set of pink hair.

He smiled to himself as the image of them appeared before him. He then reimagined every single person in the guild and they held their hands out to him.

"Natsu you weak ass, beaten so easily." Gray

"C'mon Natsu, be a real man!" Elfman

"You stupid brat, hurry up so I can kick your ass." Laxus

"Come get some pancakes Natsu." Mirajane

"Natsu, Gray-Sama desires a rematch." Juvia

"Hey Salamander, you better Not give up!" Gajeel

"Natsu, let's read this book together!" Levy

"Natsuuuu, I'm not gonna be able to meet my rent!" Lucy

"Natsu, can you help me practice my magic?" Romeo, Wendy

"Natsu! Be careful or Erza will beat you up!" Happy

"Hurry up hooligan!" Carla

"Natsu, I need to practice my runes on you." Freed

"Natsu! I want you and Erza to kiss for me!" Asuka

"Hey kid, let's have a drink and forget about the past!" Gildarts

"Natsu…. I challenge you to a *Slur* Drinking contest!" Cana

"Natsu, play with my babies!" Bickslow

"I need some target practice Natsu!" Alzack, Bisca

"May I practice my petrifying eyes on you?" Evergreen

"Natsu! You better come back and take care of Happy!" Lisanna

"Brother, come back." Zeref

"Natsu, how am I gonna make you the guild master if you aren't here!?" Mavis

"You dumb brat! If I have to come fish you out of that, I will beat you back into it!" Makarov

"You've got this, my son." Igneel

Erza was in front with her arms spread and a bigs smile.

"Natsu, I love you, come back to me."

-Erza

-Realworld-

Igneel searched feverishly and his eyes widened when a large pillar of fire pierced the sky from behind him. In the fire was Natsu digging his way out of the ground. First a hand and then the hand pulled himself up. He fire cleared and Natsu looked sickly pale, he didn't seem to notice Igneel either. He coughed up blue ooze and walked toward the shore slowly and shakily with a determined look in his eyes. His eyes were glowing bright yellow and the symbol on his neck was glowing a dim red.

"Er...za…" He muttered and he stumbled forward a bit. He caught himself however and he continued toward the water. "Natsu." Natsu's eyes widened and he looked at Igneel. "I'll help." He said and Natsu wanted to punch him in the face. He didn't have the strength to however. "F-Fine…" He muttered with shaky breathing. Igneel transformed to his dragon form in a bright flash and he picked Natsu up, flying toward Fairy Tail.

It was a days trip though and they arrived, to Natsu's surprise, the guild was empty, then it hit him. The town was empty as well. "Gr-Grand Mag...ic games." He breathed out and it clicked for Igneel. "Let's go, I'll have Grandeeney's counterpart look at you." Natsu nodded slowly and Igneel picked him up, flying toward Crocus. They landed outside the stadium and the city was empty. Igneel transformed back and they walked into the stadium, going up stairs, toward the Fairy Tail platform. Igneel was honestly surprised that his adopted son had made it this far.

Natsu stumbled on the stairs. He began to lose consciousness. "No." He said to himself and he caught himself, planting his feet. "Erza." He said and Igneel could see the pain in his face. Natsu's pace increased and he began to glow white. Natsu was then running. "ERZA!" He yelled and the stadium went quiet. Natsu emerged out into the arena and it was empty at the moment with people in the stands around him. He could see numerous guilds and he began to look around for Erza. "ERZA!" He yelled and he spotted the Fairy Tail Guild. He smiled lightly as Erza emerged from the crowd in a run.

Her eyes widened as he was in terrible shape. He was missing any top, revealing his fresh gashes, cuts, and bruises. His bottom was covered by tattered white baggy pants and he was barefoot. He looked terrible, he had bags under his eyes and he had blue on the corners of his lips but his eyes told a different story, he was determined to see her. They were still glowing yellow. He reached a hand up toward her. Her eyes filled with tears and she jumped down toward him. She landed and ran to him, catching him as he began to collapse. He stood in her grip and planted his lips to hers. She smiled into the heavy kiss and kissed back softly.

The guilds all began to cheer around them and the announcer whistled. "Young Love!" Their moment was cut short however as there was a rumbling in the ground and Erza had to hold Natsu tightly so he didn't fall. She gave him soft eyes. "You came back…" She said and hugged him tight. He hugged her back half as tight due to the inability not to. "Always." He whispered, barely audible. She then turned her attention to the shaking and she frowned. She got him on her back and she jumped back up to the Fairy Tail stand which was easy for her because she was S-Class. She handed Natsu to Gray and she turned her attention back to the arena. A pillar of fire rose from the ground and out stepped END. Behind him was a group of people and demons alike with symbols like END's.

"Tartaros." She heard Mavis mutter and Erza growled, jumping down in front of them. "What do you want!?" She yelled in anger and questioning. END laughed and he disappeared, planting his fist into Erza's sternum and sending her flying back. She skidded across the ground and coughed up blood. END began to speak loudly so that everybody around him could hear, the guildmaster to Sabertooth jumped down behind him.

"WE HEREBY DECLARE WAR ON MAGIC ITSELF!"

END roared and there was a roar from the crowd as Baccus jumped down and the rest of Quatro Cerberus joined them. END made quick work of all of them by blasting them with a massive fireball that destroyed a portion of the stadium. ERza stood up and dashed toward them with her armor changing to her cheetah armor, increasing her speed to inhuman levels. END's eyes widened when he saw the determined look in her eyes and the dramatic increase of magical power.

She slashed him across the chest and she appeared behind him, kicking him in the back, throwing him far against the wall. Vines then sprouted from the ground and blasted toward Erza but they were frozen solid before shattering. Gray was there with Lucy, Wendy, and Elfman. The rest of Fairy Tail was coming in for backup as well. Lucy summoned Leo and Leo jumped toward a man with a Silver chestplate on that read absolute zero. Silver waved his hand and Leo was frozen solid. Leo's eyes widened and he disappeared in a golden flash. This left Gray facing off against Silver. Silver grinned at him and Gray growled. It was almost like standing in front of a mirror.

"Gray." Gray growled deeper. "Father." He said coldly. Gray heard footsteps and Juvia arrived beside him with a glare directed at Silver, a glare he hadn't seen before from her.

-Lucy, Lisanna-

Lisanna came from the sky with wings and kicked toward a man with blonde hair and a lot of body ink. The man grinned with sharp teeth and grabbed Lisanna by her neck before an explosion erupted from his palm and she screamed in pain, flying back. Lucy wrapped her whip around him and slammed him into the floor. He grabbed the whip and pulled hre closer however and he kicked her in the stomach, sending her flying and stirring up her injuries. Lucy stood up and pulled out her Taurus key. "Open!"

-Gajeel, Levy-

Gajeel coughed up blood under the water and he began to lose his oxygen. Torafuzar was too fast. "N-no…" Gajeel muttered and he began to lose consciousness. He frowned when he felt smaller lips on his. His eyes widened however as more air invaded his lungs. 'Levy!' He yelled in his mind. His rage began to take hold as she was knocked away and Torafuzar flew toward her with his razor elbows. Gajeel's skin began to harden as he realized that there was carbon in the water, he began to absorb it before blasting and connecting with Torafuzar before he could hurt the drowning Levy, Gajeel didn't have much time before the squirt drowned.

-Mira, Elfman-

"You can't take my curse." Sayla said and Mira growled as she attempted her Take-Over again. Sayla turned to her demon form and Mira grinned as she absorbed Sayla's power. Sayla's eyes widened when she was suddenly crushed by Elfman. "C-curse you!" She was then freed however as Kyoka kicked Elfman in the side, sending him flying, leaving Mira to deal with both of them.

-Wendy-

Wendy jumped out of the way, avoiding a slam from Ezel but he managed to grab Carla. "No Carla!" Wendy screamed and pink power began to emit from her. Ezel was about to eat her best friend. He hair turned pink and spiky, and her back grew a pair of small fairy like wings. Wendy blasted toward him and punched him in the gut, twisting and sending him flying in a spial. He recovered quickly however and he dashed at Wendy, going into his blade form.

-Cana-

Cana was standing face to face with Sabertooth's master and her eyes widened when she was joined by the twin dragon slayers. "Thanks Lovelies…" She muttered. She was beaten pretty badly.

-Makarov, Mavis, Maccao-

"Purple Fist!" Maccao yelled and a purple fist lashed out at Mard Geer. Mard was unaffected however as he held up his hand and caught it. He went to catch a mutch large fist from Makarov but it disappeared and he was nailed in the back by another one. A ring made of magic power then wrapped around him with Mavis chanting. "Fairy Glitter!" She yelled and he growled in pain as it exploded on him and sent him into the air. "Fairy Law!" Makarov and Maccao chanted and a colossal pillar of light consumed Mard.

-Laxus-

Laxus was breathing heavily in front of Keyes and Tempester.

-Erza-

Erza growled as she blasted past END and he narrowly dodged a sword slash from her. She was in her black wing armor and he was narrowly dodging everything. She had to use more of her magical power! Erza began to channel her magical power and she couldn't gain much more of it. She growled and dug deeper for it. Scale like marks appeared on her forehead and her cheeks turned a crimson red. Her forearms grew the same red and the mark on her neck began to glow. Up in the stand Natsu began to smirk. "Take it all honey." He began to channel all of his magic power into the mark and he could feel her aura increase.

"You there, brat, what happened?" Natsu turned his head slightly to look at Porlyusica. "E-Etherion…" He said and she sighed. "Again!? This is why I hate humans!" Natsu smiled lightly as Igneel patted her on the shoulder.

He then turned his attention back to Erza's fight, he couldn't see but he could feel it.

Erza screamed at a massive magic circle appeared over her head and her magic power increase threefold. "Dragon Force!?" END yelled and he dashed toward her. She did the ted however and her hand caught fire. END's eyes widened as she delivered a heavy flaming fist right to his temple and sent him spiraling through the arena and into the wall with a huge explosion. She let out a roar similar to Natsu. "D-Damn… that hurt." END muttered as he pried himself out of the wall and it crumbled behind him. "Damn Redhead." He smirked. "Should be fun."

He dashed toward her and he punched at her with a flaming fist. Erza slipped to the side, avoiding the blow and she requipped her purgatory armor and mace. It caught fire and she smashed it into his side. He flew back and landed on the wall gently before blasting toward her at lightspeed. She brought it down and slammed him into the ground. He coughed up blood as a crater was formed around him.

Erza jumped back and requipped into her heaven's wheel armor. Swords began to appear and one-by-one every single blade impaled the downed END in the back. With his entire back being covered in swords he slowly stood up and he pulled one out. He then began to pull them out and throw each one at Erza who expertly evaded every one of them. END's eyes widened when he saw her eyes finally. He recognized those eyes. Those were the eyes of a beast. She flipped over one before ducking and dashing toward him, requipping another sword. Seh stabbed it through the middle of his chest all the way to the handle before sliding around him and summoning another one, sliding it right through his right shoulder.

She was moving too fast for him to keep up. She then jumped back in front of him and kicked him right in the sword handle. He flew back and landed on his feet but he lost his balance when two chained swords flew past him and wrapped around him, pulling him closer. His eyes widened as she had her purgatory mace out and she swung it, connecting with his face, shattering his cheekbone and fracturing his skull. She then grabbed him and delivered a flaming fist to his face, sending him sliding back. He was tied up with chains and he felt two long swords pierce each one of his shoulders, nailing him to the ground. He had to melt the chains but he didn't have time as he looked up and she was descending toward him with a long katana in her hand and a flaming pair of pants. No armor maximum offense.

When she got close to him however, she was knocked away by a tall man. She landed and flipped to her feet with a glare. Her eyes then widened, it was Acnologia who was breathing heavy. She positioned her sword to a stabbing position and he dashed toward her. She dashed toward him as well and before they could connect, Igneel delivered a heavy blow to Acnologia's temple with his flaming fist. Acnologia flew back and landed on the wall before charging up a roar which Igneel responded in kind. Erza dashed past Igneel to stop END but she was too late, he was already up and he dashed back at her.

She noticed that the only wounds that didn't heal were the ones she delivered with fire and the ones Natsu had given him. Erza blasted past him and dismembered his arm. Black blood sprayed everywhere and END roared in pain. She then stabbed him behind the thigh and he fell to his knee. Erza growled and rage built for a moment. "Do it." He said and she growled again.

She screamed and she decapitated him swiftly. His hand reached up and caught his head before putting it back on and standing up. He then turned and delivered a flaming punch to her abdomen to which she hunched over and he delivered a hammerfist to her back and she hit the floor. He then grew wings and with a gust of wind he flew back a bit. "Don't you see yet!? I'm immortal!" He yelled and he began to laugh maniacally. He then began to charge up a breath attack and before he could let it loose Natsu came down on top of him and delivered a heavy punch to his face. END flew toward Erza and she lit her fist as well, slamming it into his gut. He coughed up blood on her and he flew back toward Natsu who caught him by the throat and slammed him into the ground before continuously throwing flaming punches wherever he could manage to hit.

Natsu then stomped on him only for END to grab his leg and throw him into the air and jump up at him. Natsu and Erza grinned, he had fallen right into their trap. Natsu kicked him back down and he began to descend but he stopped mid-air when the chained sword flew past him again. Natsu caught them and they burst into flames. END's eyes widened and he covered his face as Natsu descended toward him. Natsu put both of them on each side of his chest and he locked the chains. Erza the grinned again and she swung him around in the air rapidly before slamming him into the ground.

END wanted to stand but he was incapable, he was being beaten badly, immortality or not, he couldn't win unless they ran out of magic. Erza swung him toward Natsu who caught him by the face and consumed it with a fireball that turned to a torrent of unstoppable fire that consumed him completely and sent him into the wall of the arena. Smoke kicked up and Natsu lost sight of him as well as Erza. He and Erza pulled the chain back but the ends were gone, as if they had been decayed.

-Through the Smoke-

"Natsu…" There was a feral growl. "Brother…" Zeref muttered as tears began to fall from eyes. His brother had so much fight left, yet no capability to use it. "Brother!? Yeah right! You killed me!" Zeref's tears got heavier. "I did. I accept responsibility, but stop attack those I hold dear! Take my life instead!" END walked toward him slowly. "Brother… you don't realize… this isn't about us anymore, this is for a better cause, curses will rule this world!" Zeref growled and red filled his eyes. "NO! I won't let you kill those that I love, even if you are my brother!" Zeref put his hands out with his middle and ring finger up, and his index and pinkie down.

"I will miss you brother. But I will not allow you to take the lives of the innocent, I am the one that was supposed to do that remember! Even I have a love for this world! Please stop, this is your last warning." END began to cry. "Do it kill me again! Just like before!" Zeref felt his heart begin to ache and he slowly lowered his hands. END's eyes widened. "You aren't evil brother… you just need some help, look at the new Natsu! He saved me! I'm no longer cursed, I can help you just like he helped me! You just have to let me!" END's face grew into a sadistic grin and his eyes hazed over red. His guild mark began to glow. "It's starting." END said and Zeref frowned. "What is!?" END grabbed him by the throat and lifted him in the air by one hand.

"The end of humanity! I have opened the eclipse gate, letting loose one thousand dragons!" Zeref's eyes widened. "N-No!" He yelled and END delivered a kick to his gut, sending him flying back. "Now sit back and watch as I destroy your precious world, I'll kill you after I take everything away from you, when you are BEGGING for death!"

Zeref put his hands back and a wave of black magic was fired at END but he simply raised his hand and it stopped, going everywhere around him but not at him. The smoke then cleared and Natsu ran toward them with Erza. "What's happening!?" Natsu asked and Zeref growled as END stepped into a portal. "He opened the eclipse gate!" Zeref yelled and Natsu's eyes widened. "NO!" Zeref nodded. All of Tartaros was retreating as well. Natsu blasted toward Sayla and grabbed her by the collar, preventing her from leaving as the portal closed.

Sayla growled and tried to punch him but he caught her fist and glared at her. She shrunk under the power of his glare and she felt fear crawl up her spine. "Tell me everything!"
