The Black Dragon Slayer of the Apocalypse
Chapter 14
In the east
The room then suddenly filled with a blinding, white, light. As it dimmed Haruhi had disappeared. Only Natsu remained.
4 days later – Fairy Tail guild hall
Everything had gone back to normal and the members of Fairy Tail were allowed to return.
Many people tried to ask the master what had happened for days ago, however he wouldn't answer and shooed them away.
"Natsu only have two days left to return. Actually make that one we need a day for travelling." Erza was getting seriously worked up. She had hoped that Natsu would have returned by now.
Natsu had to come along not only for Ultear's sake, but for Erza's too. She didn't want to meet Jellal without at least one friend beside her.
"Hey Lucy are you fine today? You seemed pretty out of it these last few days." Gray asked.
"I don't know why but I keep hearing voices in my head. They are calling me. Shouting at me. Crying to me. It just freaks me out." Lucy tells Gray.
He then links what Erza told him before to what Lucy told him just now.
"Erza stop moping and listen to me." That comment made Erza growl however she was too concerned to react to it properly.
"Lucy was the one who heard the voice that day. The message was for her."
"What?" That one thing brought Erza back to her senses.
"Lucy what did the voice tell you?" Erza inquired.
"It tends to repeat most things it tells me. But at first it would only whisper my name. Then it was screaming at me when Natsu disappeared. Now it tells me that I cannot wait for X784 that I have to do it on X777. But I don't know what that means." Lucy confessed to Erza.
"I don't know what it means either but we should tell the master. Lucy why didn't you tell us before?"
"The voice. It's me. I thought I was going insane so I didn't tell anyone."
The main doors of the Fairy Tail guild hall opened.
"Where is he? Where is gramps?" Natsu finally arrived back in the guild hall.
Erza was elated at the sight of Natsu. However the feeling soon disintegrated. Natsu's face was serious. He meant business.
"Natsu where is Haruhi?" Natsu ignored Erza's question.
"I said, where is gramps?" He lit a fire ball in his right hand. His eyes were cold. No one wanted to get in Natsu's way.
"He's in his office, Natsu. Now calm down" Mira took the incentive to go and comfort Natsu, but he immediately turned her away and walked into the masters office. He locked the door.
"Natsu! You know you can't walk into my office without permission!" Makarov was about to make his hand giant.
"Makarov, a former member of the ten wizard saint, you must die."
A black fire emerged from his hand directed at the master.
Outside the masters office
"Natsu! What the hell are you doing in there?!" Gray was banging against the door.
"NATSUUUUUUUUUUU!"
"Master!" Gray kicked down the door, only to see the master's bloody remains on the floor.
"NATSU WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE!" Gray's eyes had become blood shot. His face had gone an impossible red. His veins were visible.
"Gray get down!" Erza tackled Gray. A fire beam that was aimed for him instead hit the Gajeel.
It was over before he had even realised he was hit.
"GAJEEEEL!" Levy rushed to his side. "No Gajeel wake up!" She was crying over his corpse.
Natsu walked out not even fazed. Happy flew in front of Natsu, raised his arms. Tears were streaming from his eyes.
"Natsu. Please stop."
Without a second thought Natsu shot his childhood friend down. He walked over the furry blue, cat's corpse, with no expression on his face what so ever.
"…Erza…" The master whispered, in his last moments.
"Master!" She scrambled to the master's side as soon as possible.
"Don't worry…"
"No… I need to tell you this before I go… All the 10 wizard's saints… are dead. They were murdered in the last couple of days… To avoid… panic this was kept a secret. Jura… Warrod. Now even me… He's going after the strongest wizards in… fi..." The master's eyes closed.
"Master don't go! Please you can't…" Erza cried on top of the master.
"I need to stop him…" Erza got up. Clothes covered in blood.
"Mira, take care of things here."
Mira was holding on to Lisanna. She had collapsed after seeing Natsu murder Happy.
"Where are you going Erza?"
"No one can follow me. I don't know what's going on but Fairy Tail must stay united even in the darkest of times." Erza said wiping away her tears.
"I'm coming with you." Gray announced. Lucy, Wendy and many others agreed.
"I said no! I will sort Natsu out."
"Not even the master could defeat Natsu! What makes you think you can?" Gray shouted back.
"If I can't defeat him what chance do you have? Don't let your lives go to waste. Stay here and sort the guild out. I'll be back." And with that Erza left. She didn't want to go alone, however she saw the terrified look in her comrade's eyes.
Erza: They won't be able to attack Natsu. They will be helpless against him and drop their guard. I don't want to see them die. Especially not at the hands of Natsu.
Natsu was extremely fast. Erza wouldn't be able to track like that. She then remembered he was going after former saints.
"His next target is Jellal." She got aboard the next train to Hargeon.
