ONe chapter remains for this arc. Might have it done tonight. Might not. No guarentees. Depends how bored I get.

I own nothing.

Enjoy.

Natsu flung Elfman and Gray into the ship's upper level before Natsu turned around and rocketed into the cannon itself, driving into the barrel to the other side. Upon arrival, he stopped and began to look around the room he was in, spotting one large Lacrima ball in the middle with four smaller ones along the walls. There was also a giant clock on the ceiling.

"Hmmm..." Natsu hummed before he raised his hand and a ball of flame began to form in his palm.

"Nuh uh uh. I won't let you." Spoke a male voice. Natsu fired the ball of flame, disregarding the man only to see his flame stop in mid air.

"The name is Totomaru and I will not let you destroy that cannon. I am one of the Element four and I control all fire."

"As if." Natsu scoffed, before throwing another ball of flame at the Orb. This time, the flame was stopped in mid air and thrown towards a wall, which lit the wall on fire.

"Watch as I control that armor of yours!" The man stated and the flames from Natsu began to get drawn away from his body, as if a magical vacuum was in place. The flames began to surround Totomaru but Natsu grinned as the flames on his armor never went out and the flames surrounding Totomaru were getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Even Totomaru began to get nervous, his eyes getting wider. "Why… why can't I control these flames properly?!"

"My flames are the flames of destruction. These flames I just learned to control! No one else can control them! They will burn until they have nothing left to consume!" Natsu roared as he walked towards Totomaru who was sweating like a whore in church. "You all made a big mistake. You've hurt the ones I love, the ones who've wanted me around. I was always alone until I met Fairy Tail. Now you've destroyed everything I've known and loved… and for that… ALL OF YOU SHALL PAY!" Natsu roared as the flames surrounding his body exploded into an inferno, every single Lacrima orb exploded into nothing but shards but the flames never stopped. They began to consume all in their path and Totomaru knew he was in big trouble.

Outside, Cana and the others were fighting their hearts out when a giant cloud of flame burst from the cannon itself, before the cannon itself exploded into nothingness. The flames roared like a dragon and Cana turned to the large guild hall.

"You go Natsu!" Cana cheered as did Macao and several other members.

"He did it!" Bisca cheered.

"Natsu Natsu Natsu!" Changed several other members in unison.

Cana smiled and watched as the flames continuously burned, which meant that Natsu was going to incinerate the entire guild hall, piece by piece. 'Careful up there Natsu… come back to me safely...' She thought, only to continue the fight against the shade monsters.

Natsu stopped moving on wards from the cannon room as the ground began to shake. He raised a brow but continued forward, leaving the cannon room in a blaze, not even caring for what happened to Totomaru. The room began to move, as if it was going upside down but Natsu didn't even flinch. His flamed feet hooked onto the stone walk way as he moved onwards. Normally, Natsu would be affected by his motion sickness, but he was beyond angry with Phantom Lord. Natsu felt a little queasy, but nothing could prevent him from stopping Phantom Lord at this time. Totomaru ended up jumping through a window onto another platform, only to get pulverized by Elfman and his transformed arm.

Gray appeared in front of Natsu, before sweat dropping at seeing the inferno that Natsu was leaving behind him.

"Don't you think that's a bad idea? What if we need allies?"

"They can come from another direction. I will tear apart this entire building!" Natsu sneered, his Draconic eyes glowing through the black flame.

"Well, nonetheless. Good work on that cannon, but the building has transformed into a giant monstrosity. A giant metal man."

"I will tear it down piece by piece." Natsu declared.

"There's more. It's drawing something. A magic circle. It can't be good so we need to hurry."

"Then will split up. I will continue heading upwards along this corridor. You find another way. We will not let Phantom Lord win. We will destroy them."

"Right!" Elfman said. Elfman, Gray and Natsu immediately split up, taking different directions from each other.

Natsu entered a flight of stairs and entered another level, this time though, he found himself on the outside of the giant. It was then Natsu's eyes went wide and his flames grew fiercer. Mira was currently between the thumb and index finger of the giants left hand. She was being slowly squeezed to death. "YOU DARE TAKE HER?!" Natsu roared, moving into a sprint as the inferno that was left in his wake engulfed the right side of the building, coating the outside of the building in a black flame. As he reached the elbow on the right arm, Natsu froze up. Elfman was currently trapped within a pillar of stone, unable to move. Natsu noticed the dead look in his eyes. Natsu knew Elfman was fighting something, because Natsu had that look in his eyes several times.

"Natsu!" Mira called out. "Help Elfman! Please!"

"Elfman needs to help himself." Natsu said before turning towards Elfman. "ELFMAN! I know you can hear me! You are a Fairy Tail wizard! You are strong and brave! You call yourself a real man but look at what you are doing now! You are letting Mira cry!"

Elfman's ears perked and Natsu saw a light in Elfman's eyes returning.

"You are in pain, I know this! I don't know what happened but if you don't wake up now, Mira will die! You must wake up Elfman! FIGHT HIM!" Natsu roared.

"Elfman! You have to snap out of it!" Mira cried out, tears falling. "Please brother! I can't lose you too!"

Natsu watched as Elfman broke out of the stone imprisonment as a brilliant golden light began to shine.

"NOOO! Elfman! Don't do it! It's too dangerous!" Mira cried.

"Elfman! You call yourself a real man so you can control your power just like me! SHOW THEM WHAT YOU ARE MADE OF!" Natsu roared, leaping into the hole where Elfman was. He stood next to a giant beast who roared towards Sol.

"Hey Elfman!" Natsu said, looking up at the giant beast who turned to him. "I knew you could do this… Kick his ass and save Mira. I love your sister Elfman… so save her so we both don't lose her." Natsu said before giving Elfman a thumbs up. Elfman gave him a smile, or that's what Natsu thought before attacking Sol.

Natsu walked away before igniting his flames when he was a good distance away, creating another inferno behind him. He knew Elfman would save Mira and Natsu realized what he told Elfman. 'I love… all three of them...' Natsu said, blushing a bit before shaking his head. "No. Can't lose my focus… I must make them all pay."

Mira hugged onto Elfman, holding his waist. "I thought I told you never to do it again..."

"I had to… It was the only way to save you."

"Natsu was here… he could have done it… why did you do it?"

"Because he told me that a real man would control his powers… and wouldn't let you die."

"You stupid dummy…" Mira said, hugging her younger brother tightly.

Natsu arrived into room that reminded Natsu of a throne room. As Natsu stepped into the middle of he, he quickly sent out a beam of flame from his right hand, which collided with a beam of wind, which canceled each other out.

"How sad..." Spoke a voice before appeared an opponent who had bandages over his eyes. "I will make your wings of fire wither and fall."

Natsu growled and his flames on his body began to grow, as he was prepared to fight.

"NATSU!" Roared a familiar voice to Natsu. It was Erza! She crashed through the ceiling and landed next to Natsu.

"Erza! Go and rest! I WILL HANDLE THIS! I DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU!" Natsu said, turning to Erza.

"I'm fine Natsu! Just move on and get to Jose! You have to stop this giant!"

"But I can't leave you!"

"GO NATSU!" Erza said, turning to Natsu with tears in her eyes, but also a large amount of anger. Natsu saw the determination in her eyes and Natsu bowed his head.

"Please… I don't want to lose you… defeat him."

"With pleasure." Erza said.

Natsu jumped through the hole in the ceiling when Erza came down, using this chance to climb higher and higher in the building. He came onto a roof of one of the buildings, still not to the top yet. However, the roof he was on led to the part of the building where he thinks Jose is at.

Gray was currently up against Juvia, the water member of the Element Four. Gray was injured and panting, while Juvia seemed to be just fine. Gray then watched as Natsu appeared next to him, his body warm to be next to.

"Natsu! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going after the other members of the Element four?" Gray questioned.

"The girl up here and Aria down below are the last ones… Erza's back and shes pissed off." Natsu said, which got Gray to gulp instinctively.

"She's ok?"

"She's doing really well…. She really is strong."

"Yea…"

"So, do you need help against this one or do I move on?"

"Move on Natsu. This is might fight… I can't let you hog all the glory."

"Do not die Gray. Otherwise, I won't have someone to kick around in the guild." Natsu said with a grin. Gray grinned back.

"Of course not. If I die, who watches your back?" Gray said and Natsu moved onwards, passing Juvia who watched him in the corner of her eye, wary of the large man who passed her.

Natsu entered into another window, appearing in a large open room. It seemed to be one of the control rooms where the legs and arms of the giant cranked and moved. In the middle of the room was Gajeel, who was waiting for Natsu.

"My my, that's a new look."

"You..." Natsu said, his slitted eyes narrowing in anger.

"Where was this part of you when you came at my guild?! Things would have went differently!" Gajeel laughed. "You were pathetically weak. Just like all of your Fairy Tail friends." Gajeel grinned. Natsu's flames began to grow bigger and bigger, his anger boiling. His eyes glowed even brighter as his power increased due to the anger inside. Gajeel was the one who smashed his guild hall, Gajeel was the one who attacked Levy and the other two. Gajeel was the one who helped forced Fairy Tail's retreat. Gajeel was the one who caused everyone so much pain!

Makarov suddenly opened his eyes, looking around the room. 'I feel it… the power… It's Natsu.'

"Makarov? How are you feeling?" Asked the female wizard who was taking care of him. Makarov sat up and the woman shook her head. "Not yet. You still need rest." Makarov stood up and went on his feet, walking towards his cloak and cane.

"Since when do I listen to you?" Makarov scoffed.

"A remarkably speedy recovering, considering how old you are."

"Is that so?" Makarov replied, fishing through the pockets.

"Do you hasten to your death?" She asked.

"I will take that chance. My children need me now. More than ever." He said, before sighing a bit. "Thank you for your help." He replied before leaving the house of the female wizard who just watched as the only person she could call a friend, left towards what she figured would be his death.
