I don't feel very happy at the current moment. But I will keep writing because you guys are my friends, right? You'll never betray me, right? I edited the ending from my earlier chapter...just so its more clear but it still ends like crap.
Finally got my tablet back...still have tons of homework
Message from Natsu
The ability to forgive
Is one of many things I have lost
Chapter 71:
Natsu's body erupted in a flurry of blue magic, his eyes glowed in the same color and veins bulged from his face. Erza and Jellal stood astonished "He ate Etetherion?" both wondered aloud. Natsu threw down his arms creating two desperate blasts,and Jellal hurriedly dodged them. Getting up the dragon slayer began to choke, magic and blood slipped from his lips as he hacked. ''Natsu!'' Erza yelled 'What is he thinking? Etetherion is composed of many elements not just fire!' she thought.
'He's killing himself,' Jellal almost laughed aloud 'Destroyed by his own simplicity,'
Natsu removed his hands from his neck, Etetherion magic ounce flowed into his body and with a gutteral yells flames, now an ominous red, formed a dragon around him. 'No,'' Jellal thought 'Not possible! He actually absorbed Etetherion!?'
Jellal went to glare at Natsu only to find the male directly in front of him, flames steadily darkening, a twisted grin curling on his face away from Erza's view. ''Wha-'' Jellal felt burning pain explode in his gut as he flew through the air and crashed into the floor. Coughing blood he sat up on a piece of his now falling tower and glared at the boy missile coming at him. Scales forming around his eyes and upper arms, Natsu's eyes an abyss of seemingly nothing, no emotion. Just that twisted unnerving smile.
"METEOR!" Jellal yelled fly out of Natsu's path "Think you can catch up with me?! Bullshit, I wont let you destroy anymore of my progress!"
Natsu crash landed into the already falling debris and got up unscaved, "Jellal," Natsu's voice came out strangely, almost as if two people were talking slightly out of sync. "I'll kill you,"
With a powerfull kick that shattered the lacrima slab beneath him, Natsu shot up at inhuman speeds elbowing Jellal hard in the ribs. "Impossible, I can't be defeated. I will crest a world of freedom,'' Jellal screamed. (T-T) ''I am the chosen one! Only I can make this world Free!'' he continued, soaring high above the tower a maniacle smile on his face.
Natsus own grin slipped away ounce in Erza's veiw but the flames still darkened now a deep burgundy. Then dragons slayer latched to a pillar watching Jellal, the blue note waved his hand through the air and below him formed abyss break. Natsu narrowed his eyes while Jellal snickered ''Zeref, just wait a few more years,''
''Your an idiot,''
Jellal turned his head to see Natsu behind him. Hand poised like a claw and covered in flames. ''Ther is no freedom for the likes of you,''
Natsu then swatted him down, sending the dark mage through each level of the tower before he crashed at the bottom motionless. 'He's still alive,' he thought sourly going for a last attack but stopped abruptly and coughed feeling his body grow weaker. With blood dripping down his mouth he fell to his knees gasping for breath.
''Natsu?'' Erza hobbled forward just as the dragon slayer lost consciousness and collapsed. She looked down at his pained bloodied face, she sighed with slight relief as she saw his chest rise and fall, albite unevenly.
Her eyes widened when what was left of the tower began to rumble, magic leaking from it causing a glow. With wide eyes she rushed to lift Natsu and headed over as quickly as she could to Simon's corpse. A large quake made her stumble and the ledge all three were on tilt, Simon's body slid closer to the edge and with a pained heart Erza ran the other direction.
''I'm sorry, Simon,''
As she ran the lacrima bubbled and distorted, become less able to containing the magic. The red-head fell ounce more and looked around frantically 'Is this it?' she thought 'Are we going to die here?'
She looked at Natsu sprawled over the floor, and with new determination she stood. "What can i do?" she asked aloud looking around, her eyes caught sight of one large circular lacrima. Instantly she thought back to what Jellal had attempted earliest. 'If I fuse with this, I could control and prevent the explosion!' she thought.
She placed her hand to its blue surface and instantly her arm was engulfed ''Gyaaah,'' she screamed gripping her shoulder. Natsu awoke in a mild panic hearing the scream not fully realising where he was. He twisted his head, blurry vision still leaving him disoriented. He gazed at Erza before his vision cleared and he shot up only to fall back down coughing blood.
''What are you doing?'' his hosts voice spoke between coughs as he struggled once again to life himself from the floor.
Erza frowned guiltily,after the way she had treated Natsu all these years he still, with all the hatred he had towards her, tried to help her. ''Forgive us,'' she said, "Please,''
With one last breath she succumbed to the lacrim as Natsu finally made if to his feet, he stared into her eyes with no expression before everything went white.

Rain poured heavily upon the graveyard as the sky cried. Clouds blocking the sunlight, over a grave. Upon it the stone statue of a knight on its horse. Fairy Tail mages crowded in front of it, master Makarove standing the closest.
''One of my children...have died,'' he paused for a second staring at the crimson crosses resting beneath the statue. ''Erza Scarlet,'' he began to cry ''My strong and courageous daughter sleeps with the Fairies now. I pray that she is happy with them, as we were happy to have her here. Our Titania, we will miss you,''
Behind the crowd came the counsel, humble enough to let their clothes become sodden in the downpour. ''Due to expression of bravery, courage, and strength'' the man in the middle spoke calmly ''Erza Scarlet shall henceforth be count amongst the Ten great mages,''
There was a silence, were they supposed to be happy? Was this useless proclamation to a dead woman supposed to make them feel lightened? The sound of wet footsteps caused the crowd to turn to another approaching figure.
Natsu dressed respectively in a completely black tieless suit stood a small distance away. The others glared and Makarove didn't turn around. ''What are you doing here?'' Gray growled.
''...I came to pay my respects,'' Natsu spoke with truth though his face stayed blank, not even a frown. ''Respect?'' Gray sneered furiously ''Respect to the woman you killed,'' Lucy began to sob. Around them others also began to weep and stared with malice at Natsu.
Natsu stood there mouth half-open, his expression turned deeply hurt. ''I see,'' he croaked ''That's what everyone has thought,''
He spoke so quietly no one heard. ''Leave,'' Gray ordered holding Lucy to his chest. (I do not support GraLu) Natsu looked up at him and then down at Happy ''Hap-''
''He's staying with us,'' Gray's voice hardened.
Happy looked at the raven with wide eyes then stared at Natsu who smiled sadly.
''Goodbye happy, I'll go say hi to Lissana for you,''
At that Makarove turned around with surprised and worried eyes ''Wai-'' but Natsu had already gone.
Suicide is never the answer...unless you've lived like Natsu
