The Black Dragon Slayer of the Apocalypse

Chapter 19

"I need to get there fast, for only I will be able to stop Natsu." Zeref ran to the lower floors.

Elsewhere in the HQ

"Come on Lucy, we need to go faster. We mustn't waste the precious time Macao gave us!" Gray was still dragging Lucy to the upper floors of the HQ. She couldn't get Macao's cry out of her head. Gray tugged at her, forcing her to come back to reality.

Lucy: Zeref has killed another of my dear friends. He will pay, he will pay!

With that realisation, Lucy started to run with all her might. In affect making her the one dragging Gray.

Lucy: but before Zeref, we have to stop Natsu.

She was running in the wrong direction. "LUCY WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Gray stopped her in her tracks.

"L'armoire Histoire gave me a vision that Natsu, our Natsu was crying. It was in one of these corridors and I was there with him. It must only mean that Natsu comes back to his senses." Lucy tried to reason with Gray.

"And who else was there, Lucy?" Gray asked after realising he wasn't in her vision.

"Zeref was…" Lucy said.

Gray decided to not ask where he was as it seemed pretty obvious to him as to what happened to him.

"This will only happen if Zeref's there right? So if we go to where Natsu is without him, then you might die before the prophecy comes true." He was trying to suggest all possible outcomes, even the most morbid of them.

"This prophecy is very… sketchy. But my gut is telling me this is how it's meant to be! I know you noticed the time it took Natsu to defeat Macao was way too long." Lucy began to once again run towards Natsu, and this time Gray did not resist.

Gray: It's true… Macao should've been finished off in just a few seconds but it took almost 5 minutes. That was way too long, Macao can't strong enough to fend off Natsu. Can he?

"Lucy, in your vision did it tell you where Haruhi was?" They hadn't seen a single trace of her since she and Natsu ran off.

"No, it didn't." Lucy responded, she was truly confused about where Haruhi stood in this war.

Lucy: Haruhi was the one who had a direct connection with Zeref, it was when Natsu left with her, that he went insane and not only that the magic Natsu now possess has some of the same attributes as her. But the fact they haven't seen her yet, must only suggest that she turned traitor, tried to kill Natsu and ended up dying or becoming a prisoner herself.

Gray: I hope she isn't dead… I want to see her one more time before I die. But if she isn't dead then I might have to fight her and I can't do that. Why is my heart aching? Please Haruhi be alright.

The two of them ran at full speed towards Natsu. They would rather Zeref terrorised the world than Natsu, it may be selfish but who could blame them?

It took longer than they thought to reach Natsu, but as soon as they got there they realised why. Natsu was standing there. Looking at his hands in disbelief. He was just a few corridors ahead of where Macao should have died. His eyes were wide.

Natsu looked up to see two of his closes friends stand in front of him. Both of their clothes were stained in blood, which shocked him more.

"What happened to the two of you? What is this place?" Natsu asked.

Gray got furious, he wanted his friend back; however he wasn't allowed to forget the pain he had caused to everyone. He got ready to attack him with his ice magic, when Lucy put her hand on his arm. "Something is wrong." Was all she said.

"Natsu I'm sorry! Please forgive me I was tricked! ...It's alright Haruhi, anyway where are you?" Natsu voice had changed from a girl's voice to a boys. He started to turn around looking for Haruhi.

"What's going on?" Gray looked horrified. He never thought he would hear Haruhi's sweet voice come out of Natsu.

"I can't see you Natsu. It's all black where I am, you will have to come and find me!" Haruhi's voice called.

It then clicked to Gray "Natsu you better not have eaten Haruhi or I'll kill you!"

"Oh shut up ice princess! I would never do that no matter how hungry I am. I mean Happy is still alive, and I have been on the verge of dying of hunger with him." Natsu responded.

He didn't remember.

Lucy: should I tell him or not? Should I tell him Happy is dead and he was the one that killed him? No that would be dumb, it would traumatise Natsu.

"Happy is dead and you killed him." Gray coldly told Natsu.

A tear formed in Natsu's eye. "So it wasn't a dr… a nightmare then?" Gray shook his head.

"What about the master, Erza, Jellal, the guild? Did I..?" Natsu asked even though he already knew the answer.

Natsu: I knew it, but I don't want to believe it… please Fairy Tail don't forgive me, I deserve your hate. I promised myself if those dreams were true then I would do it. I know Zeref was the one who forced me to do this. I will kill him no matter what.

Haruhi: I will follow you to the end brother, but know Zeref is close, he is coming towards us.

Natsu: so you can hear my thoughts, Haruhi?

Haruhi: I am you, right now so I think they are our thoughts.

Natsu: you know I will never get what you mean, so why say it?

"Lucy, Gray I know sorry won't make up what I have done to you but I don't think I will be able to see you again. You need to get out of here! RUN!" Haruhi's voice screamed.

"Never going to happen, we came here knowing we were going to die, so we are staying till the bitter end." Lucy replied.

"Haruhi you don't need to warn them, you can tell from looking in their eyes they won't leave."

Haruhi: Gray…

Natsu: don't even think about it Haruhi, he will kill you if you do that.

Haruhi: I'm sorry Natsu but if he's here I won't be able to do it.

Natsu: then do that to Lucy too.

L'armoire Histoire: No you can't she must stay but he must go.

They could all hear someone running towards them. "LUCY!" It called.

Lucy: did I just hear L'armoire Histoire?

Gray tried to get closer to Lucy to protect her, but instead he was engulfed in a black sphere, covered in fire.
