The Tenrou Group Lives On - Chapter 12 – The End of the Dragon Arc -
What happens if Natsu, Mirajane, and Erza gets left behind? The guild is gone. There are only three people left to protect Fairy Tail for 7 years. There are only three members of Fairy Tail to take control and run Fairy Tail till they return. Natsu must become the guild master until they return.
Natsu x Mirajane x Erza
"Fire Dragon Slayer..?" The dragon on fire in front of Natsu asked as he stood there shocked. From the buildings around him burning and crumbling in the wrecked city of Crocus. Never in a hundred years did he believe he would hear those words. Around him his fire lit up the area brighter than the shinnying red moon above them. In midst of a long battle and war.. some how he had made a new friend.
"Yeah.. that's me!" Natsu laughed a bit as he watched the flame dragon in front of him. Yes.. he was a bit surprised but was he even more surprised when the dragon stopped because of the mention of him being a fire dragon slayer.
"So tell me.. what relationship do you have to my king. The king of the fire dragon's.. Igneel?!" The flame dragon asked as he watched every move of Natsu with his fiery red flaming eyes. He was now curios about it as things were coming together quite weird. First he bit and eat his flames like Igneel. Now he was the same dragon slayer type of his king. Was he close to him? Things were quite weird for him now.
"O.. you mean my dad?" Natsu replied with a huge smile over the mention of his foster father. Natsu was also quite surprised when the huge tower flame dragon standing in front of him said the name of his dad.
"D-dad?! You mean you're the son of Igneel?!" The flame dragon that was completely on red fire asked in shock.
"Yup, Igneel is my dad." Natsu laughed with a huge grin on his face.
"Hm.. I see. My name is Atlas Flame. I am Flame dragon!" Atlas Flame informed Natsu of his name and told Natsu what type of dragon he was to Natsu as he looked at him closely with his fiery eyes.
"Alright.. so tell me. What are you attacking these people and this city?" Natsu asked Atlas flame as he stood there watching the flame dragon quietly. The more information he knew the better. It would give him an easier chance at making a plan to defeat the dragon and send them away. It would also give him a chance to fight an fully defeat Larmin the demon from Tartarus.
"Because we were ordered to.. well its actually mainly for fun." Atlas Flame slightly shucked as he stood tall and listening to Natsu. He was now interested in him.
"Ok.. would there be any way to stop them?" Natsu asked as he looked Atlas Flame in his fiery eyes. Natsu was trying to find a way to stop the dragons from destroying the town and hurting anyone who hadn't made it out yet.
"Sadly no.. the only way is to defeat them or take out the gate I presume." Atlas Flame answered Natsu with a small sigh.
"Alrighty.. then guess were going to have to team up and take out Larmin then." Natsu sighed as he began walking toward Atlas Flame. It was time for him to take flight and push back at Larmin.
"GAH!" a bloody screamed echoed through Crocus as Natsu slowly walked towards Atlas Flame. The voice was someone who he knew. It was someone important to him and it sounded like that person had just gotten severely hurt or worse.
"Damn!" Natsu muttered as he turned around and began to push off toward where the voice originated from. He needed to know what happened and if that person was safe or needed help.
Atlas Flame stood in the same spot as he watched Natsu go running off towards the scream. 'Hm.. well it's fun here..' Atlas Flame sighed and began to follow Natsu as he passed the shocked Fairy Tail wizards and everyone else who had watched Natsu becomes friends with Atlas Flame.
"N-no.. p-please.. wake up!"
Natsu's eyes widened in shock as he ran up to the scene. All around them the black burnt buildings were collapsed and burning and the rode was cracked. The city looked like hell itself as it also no longer looked familiar to the city they had first arrived back at the begging of the Grand Magic Games.
But in front of him was the worst sight to him. Fuyu was kneeling over Haru's lifeless body as she cried and tried to wake her sister. Haru's white sleeveless shirt was ripped open by a hole through her stomach which blood oozed out of. Under neither her was a pool of red thick blood as it stained her shredded black pants and the rest of her clothing. Her black eyes like Natsu was wide opened as they stared into space. Natsu's daughter that laid there was dead.
"N-no.." Natsu whispered as he shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't understand how could something like this happen. Just a minutes ago when he was coming back from his small meeting with Tartarus and Mard Geer he had seen the two girls fighting in the war but they were alive. Now one of them was dead and the sister was kneeling over her crying as she kept pushing on her chest trying to revive her.
"P-please… you can't be.. y-you can't be dead. W-we were supposed to p-protect d-ad.." Fuyu mumbled between cries as tears rolled down her face. Her white long hair was a mess and her black clothing like a younger Mirajane was tattered. They both looked like they got into a one sided horrible fight.
"H-haru.." Natsu whispered as he took a step toward his daughters from the future. His face had gone cold and his skin was white as a ghost. His brain was trying to figure out and understand what happened. How was Haru dead? Was she dead? What was going on? Questions flooded his head as he tried to understand them.
"D-dad.." Fuyu turned around and saw him. Her face was covered in tears and she had scratches all over her body. She couldn't care about the pain throbbing threw her body. Her best friend, her sister had died right in front of her. Her mind was racing and her body was failing. She couldn't take it.. she just wanted to end her own life until she felt a small bit of warmth spread through her body.
Fuyu watched at Natsu slowly took steps to her and once he got to her he fell down. Natsu wrapped himself around Fuyu as he pushed her head to his chest to let her scream and cry. Natsu's eyes were still wide open in shock and fear. No one was supposed to die.. he was supposed to protect all of them. Natsu closed his eyes as he let old familiar memories race through his mind.
One of them in particular was the day he became guild master. The day he swore to Fairy Tail that he would protect them all. The same day that he announced to the guild that Mirajane and Erza were his girlfriends. The whole year of training while thinking of the lost people on Tenrou was so he could protect everyone in Fairy Tail.
"Son of Igneel, watch out!"
Natsu's eyes snapped opened right as he looked into a black ice spear in front of his eyes. In that same second Natsu's entire life passed by him. He watched as his most fond and loving memories surfaced and watched as it played out for him
~Flashback~
"So..? Do you think you're ready?" Mirajane asked as she stood in a green grassy plain with Natsu and Erza. Around them the wind was blowing the light green leaves on the tall trees and the warm sun bleated down from above them. It was the spot that Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane had been training over a year at after the Tenrou group disappeared.
"Yeah.. I think so. I'm strong enough now.. I can protect everyone." Natsu replied with his normal goofball smile that he always sported around when he was happy. Today was the day that he was going to the guild and officially take the position of the guild master of Fairy Tail. He was already technically the guild master but he didn't want to be till he was ready. But, today was the day he knew he was finally strong enough to protect everyone.
Over the last year he developed many new types of modes, the ability to tap into dragon force, and do different things with his fire. He had access to Fairy Flames, his own dragon force, and he could now turn his fire into items that he could use to fight with. The year of training had paid off and now he was stronger than ever.
Training wasn't the only thing he did. While he did train his body and his looks changed as well. He was much muscular and his baby fat on his cheeks of his face was now gone, his spiky pink hairs was a bit more toned, and his bright black eyes were much more lighter. Natsu was a new man and a different person almost. If people hadn't known him before.. then most wouldn't know this man was Natsu Dragneel.
"Then I guess we should head to the guild and announce it.." Erza announced with her smile. From her red bright lips and hair, Erza had also changed. She no longer wore her armor 24/7 and she had grown a tad bit older as well. She was taller but Natsu was still taller than her. Her muscles and body had firmed out as she became quite the good looking young lady.
"Then let's go.." Mirajane giggled as grabbed Natsu's warm hand and began to walk towards where Fairy Tail stood mighty at. The year had done a lot to Mirajane as well. She finally was able to begin thinking again as she slowly got over her brother and sister. Mirajane was now stronger than ever as well and had many new types of magic and take overs to use. Mirajane's white snowy hair was still quite long and the year had been well for her. Her body finished growing and now stood at the same height as Erza.
Erza quickly grabbed Natsu's other hand as all three began to walk towards Fairy Tail, hand and hand.
"Hey.. were back!" Natsu announced as he let go of Erza's and Mirajane's hand as he used his muscular hand to push open the doors of Fairy Tail. Inside was the normal guild hall with the people who hadn't gone to Tenrou. Wakaba and Macao sat there drinking, Droy was eating while Jet was trying to talk him out of it, and everyone else was talking and drinking like normal.
"Welcome back Master Natsu." Alzack announced as Natsu walked in with Mirajane and Erza closely walking behind him.
"Attention everyone.. we would like to talk to everyone here if we can." Erza announced as she got everyone attention and made them stop talking like she normally did.
"This year has been pretty tough on all of us.." Natsu began to announce as he hopped onto the Fairy Tail guild stage and looked at everyone watching him. He was a bit nervous but kept talking. "We've all been through a lot as we lost a bunch of people of our family.. but we made it.. and were still moving forward." Natsu kept talking as he looked at everyone. He watched as they all looked down in sorrow and remembered the rest of there family.
"But.. today I'm done. I've finished my training and I'm ready to lead Fairy Tail to its future and brighter days. I'm now strong enough.. and I can finally say what I've been wantingto." Natsu informed everyone. "I can now protect everyone with my strength." Natsu yelled as he explained to everyone his reasoning of why he was training himself so hard and for so long.
"Sheesh.. you really went overboard. But hey.. that's decision up to you. Your the guild master now." Wakaba laughed as he looked at Natsu with a huge smile.
"Like Wakaba said.. you're the guild master now. That's your decision." Macao announced as he watched all the remaining Fairy Tail members agree with him.
"Alrighty then.. then I guess it's time to party, right?" Mirajane asked as she quickly kissed Natsu on his cheek and smiled at everyone with her blue eyes shinnying.
"EH?! Mirajane.. kissed Natsu?!" Romeo yelled in surprise as everyone mouth began to full open in surprise and shock. They hadn't been told yet that Natsu finally got with Erza and Mirajane.
"Hm.. it seems we apparently haven't informed everyone.. I guess will have to.." Erza thought aloud as she began to think of an easy way to announce to everyone about their loving yet weird relationship.
"That's easy.." Natsu sighed as he turned his head and captured Mirajane's plush red lips as he kissed her. After a second Natsu stopped the kiss and walked over to Erza as he captured her lips as well. Once Natsu finished both girl's cheeks were bright red. "As I trained with Mirajane and Erza I might have started a relationship with them.." Natsu informed everyone with a sheepish smile.
'Natsu.. you would just announce it like that..' Mirajane thought to herself as she giggled slightly over how Natsu informed the rest of the guild about their relationship.
"S-so.. you, Mirajane, and Erza are together?" Alzack asked in surprise as he grew a bit nervous. He was wondering how a guy could fall for Fairy Tail's two demons and still be alive.
"Correct.. we are. Is there a problem with that?" Erza asked as an evil aura wrapped around her and sent a cold shiver down everyone's back.
"N-no.." Droy responded as he stuffed more food into his mouth and stuttered.
"Well that's means we got two things.. we've got to party double!" Wakaba yelled as he grabbed his wooden mug of beer and brought it up into the air for a cheer.
"Yeah! Let's party!" Natsu screamed with happiness. That day was one of Natsu's happiest days. A day he loved and cherished forever. It was also the day that made him know that Mirajane and Erza would always be there for himself. It also was the day that he would always protect his friends and never let them get hurt.
~Flashback End~
As Natsu returned from his flashback he still saw the ice spear coming straight at his eye. His entire life.. his favorite moment passed by in less than a second. He saw when Igneel found him.. to when he trained with Igneel.. when he joined Fairy Tail.. the fond moments he had with his best friends.. and to the day he became married to his lovers.
"NO! D-DAD!" Fuyu began to scream as he looked up in slow motion and saw the black ice spear coming at his head to kill him. Her mission had failed. She wasn't able to protect her dad.. and worst of all. Her dad was going to die in her arms.
Thud. A sound emitted as Fuyu's eyes widened in surprise. Drip. Fuyu watched as a drip of blood rolled off Natsu's hand and fell onto her face. With a quick reaction.. Natsu's hand held the black ice spear. It was a mere inch about from his eyes. Power.. Suddenly a ground shaking power aura began to shake the broken black burnt brick ground under her and Natsu as she felt something massive happening.
Suddenly a white beam of raw magic power was released from Natsu's body as it shot high up into the air and swirled around in a vortex. The ground shook as the white spiral around Natsu twisted and turned. Every inch of Natsu was releasing magic and his veins were began to show around his body. Every bit of his magic was now being released and everyone was frozen in fear of his might.
"I'm done.." Natsu muttered as he let go of Fuyu and stood up tall. His black eyes targeted the man that tried to kill him and the man that murdered his daughter. Larmin stood in front of Natsu with the black ice spear still in his hand. The ice god slayer had just woken a very powerful sleeping dragon. Natsu was pissed.
"Natsu.." Mirajane whispered aloud. She was there with Erza, Lucy and Wendy as they fought the Jade dragon; Zirconis. She looked back and saw the rise of a white beam and froze in fear. From the cold shiver to the warm feeling in her heart, she already knew it was Natsu and someone had made his insanely pissed.
"Whoever pissed him off.. is about to die.." Erza whispered as she stood next to Mirajane. She was in her Fairy God armor fighting Zirconis when she looked behind herself and froze in fear. She right way felt the magic pressure that belonged to Natsu and instantly knew someone or something had pissed him off. "Natsu.. you better not do anything stupid.." Erza sighed and looked down at her stomach. The golden Fairy Tail symbol still shined on her as she made sure for the fourteenth time that she wouldn't lose her child that she carried.
"W-who is that?" Wendy whispered in shock. In all her life she hadn't ever felt that kind of pressure from magic. She wasn't just frozen there in fear but now she was even more afraid. If that was an enemy, then how would they win this war that was taking place?
"Don't worry Wendy, that's Natsu. Let's focus on our own battle, alright?" Mirajane suggested and informed Wendy as she looked over and saw Wendy standing there shaking in fear. Only herself and Erza had ever seen and felt Natsu's true power hidden away.
"Heh.. these women still think they can beat me?!" Zirconis yelled as he shook his tail and it knocked over another building in the destroyed city of Crocus. At the rate there wouldn't be a town left. The majority of the city was already flattened now because of the dragons.
From his green and light green colored scales to his white sharp canine teeth, Zirconis was eager for this fight to finish. Already it had been annoying with the small blue hair child fighting back with dragon slayer magic but these other two girls could also give him a nice hurting. He needed to think of something fast soon or he would be taken down soon.
Zirconis began to then walk towards Wendy with a huge grin as he decided to finish off the small weak one first. "I'll just eat you with your clothing, you'll be tasty!" Zirconis yelled as drool dropped out of his mouth and he jumped towards Wendy to end her.
Ting. Zirconis's green eyes widened in shock as he was in midair going towards Wendy. He hadn't expected a normal human to be able to do something like this. He watched as Erza appeared under his exposed light green stomach and swung her sword from her Fairy God Armor at it. The world was silent as everyone clearly heard a thick slice run along his belly. The people looking at Zircni's gasped as he fell to the side and red blood spurted out from his stomach.
"My armor is far stronger then you think. If its near someone who's a Fairy Tail wizard and that wizard is about to be hurt or killed.. my armor grows stronger so I can protect him or her." Erza informed Zirconis as he fell to his side with a loud whimper in pain. Erza stood there smiling as one of her gold sword now was covered with Zirconi's blood sliding down it.
"Y-You.. human.. cut my scales?!" Zirconis yelled with rage as he pushed himself back up. Now he was extremely pissed at what was going on. He couldn't believe that a simple low life human had cut him. He was beyond pissed and wanted to now kill that person. Zirconis's eyes took sight of Erza as he began to walk towards her.
"Wendy, let's go!" Mirajane yelled as she landed next to Wendy with her wings and prepared for her attack. "Demon Dragon Roar!" Mirajane screamed as she sucked in and she sent a dark purple beam at Zirconis.
"Sky Dragon Roar!" Wendy screamed as she sucked in as well and sent a windy white swirl roar at Zircons. Both hit Zirconi's green head and pushed him back to the ground.
"Let's go child, he won't stay down for long." Carla explained as her white wings appeared on her back and she grabbed Wendy with her small arms. She took off into the air with Wendy as they went flying to take down Zirconis with Erza and Mirajane flying by them.
Lucy and her spirits, with the princess of Fiore and her royal guard stood there watching the fight as they gasped in awe at how strong a dragon slayer and how Mirajane and Erza had changed in the last seven years. They were beyond surprised and scared
"So.. this is what I've been hearing.." Cobra the poison dragon layer stood above the now ruined city of Crocus and watched the battle take place. The only dragon he saw that didn't have a dragon slayer at it was a large rock like dragon.
Cobra had just finished stretching from being in his cell for so long and for him it felt nice as he felt all of his magic restore itself through his red warm blooded veins. He had also just heard Natsu a man he respected yell across Fiore that the dragons could be defeated.
"Guess it's my time to fight then.." Cobra sighed with a huge smirk as he kept his right eye with the scratch over it closed. His Maroon colored spiky hair was flowing in the wind as normal white jacket flowed back as well. His red colored pants were tight and his black shirt was itching to get ruined by a fight.
"Now remember are deal, alright?" Lahar from the Magic Council asked as he watched Cobra prepare to run towards Crocus and begin his own fight. He was honestly worried that Cobra would attempt to run away after and then free his comrades from jail.
"Don't worry.. I've already made plans with a certain guild master about maybe joining him. If so.. Im not going back to jail." Cobra informed Lahar with a laugh as he jumped off the brown cliff he was standing off and began to push off towards the city of Crocus. He was aiming at the massive large brown and gray rock dragon wrecking the city.
'You better keep your deal Natsu.. I'm done with sitting in jail.' Cobra thought to himself as he made his way to Crocus. He thought back to his talk with Natsu at his jail cell. Back then he was quite confused that the master of Fairy Tail, Natsu would come to see him personally. Though he did fight him when he was young. But he was still a criminal.
"Hmm..?" The rock dragon announced as he watched Cobra land next to him on top of a large wrecked building.
"Hey.. Isn't that Cobra from the Oracion Seis?" Ren announced as he watched Cobra land from out of nowhere on top of a building. He had remembered Cobra going to jail once Natsu defeated him seven years ago.
"I can hear you talking…" Cobra announced as he showed his canine teeth at the Rock dragon with a wicked smile. He licked his lips and his black eyes starred right into the soul of the rock dragon in front of him. "So are we going to fight?" Cobra asked with a smile and his hands lit themselves with red poison.
"A dragon slayer.. how interesting.." The rock dragon announced with a surprise as he stared at Cobra. He was quite surprised at what he was seeing and was ready to fight him none of the less. He watched as purple like aura rose was around his two hands. He was now quite interested in them even more when he felt the magic spike from him as well.
"Wait a second.. Isn't he a dragon slayer?" Eve asked as he watched from a distance with the rest of Blue Pegasus that was present. They were all shocked that a criminal had not just gotten out of jail but had come here to battle the dragons.
"He was.. if I'm right he was the poison dragon slayer." Ichiya informed everyone as he watched Cobra push off towards the large brown and gray rock dragon they were tiring to face with Cobra.
"I can here you moving.." Cobra announced as he dodged the large boulder part of the rock dragon's tail that swung at him. Once he dodged it he jumped onto his back and began to send punches down as small gray and brown rocks broke off of the rock dragon.
Another fight had begun. Cobra and Blue Pegasus vs the Rock dragon.
"So it seems your son is truly powerful.. he's done well Igneel.." Atlas flame whispered as he watched the white aura stream around Natsu and go straight towards the red moon above them. Natsu's white powerful magic aura lit the dark night as whoever was around him shivered and feared his might. The only person not shivering was Atlas flame as Natsu became enraged at what Larmin had done.
"So it seems you don't like the surprise I gave you.." Larmin announced as watched Natsu closely for any movement. He watched Natsu's face as a thick vein popped out of his forehead.
Pissed wasn't even close to what he was feeling at the moment. Now.. all he wanted was blood. Specifically a certain demon's blood. The demon that stood in front of him was about to go against a enraged Natsu.
"Motherglare.." Larmin announced as a blue swirly scaled dragon flew down next to him. Larmin quickly jumped onto the dragon and began to take off to leave Natsu.
"Where do you think you're going?" Natsu asked without moving. "I SAID WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU GOING?!" Natsu screamed as his voice made Larmin and Motherglare instantly stop and look at him. His magic wasn't calming down; his aura became thicker as even more magic was released.
"I think we should get out of here..." Macao announced as he took a step back. Even he hadn't seen Natsu like this while the Tenrou group was gone. He was sacred and shivering as he learned a new lesson. Never piss Natsu off.
"It's called I'm leaving.. If we aren't going to fi-." Larmin began to reply to Natsu but before he could even finish his sentence he was stopped by a punch to his eyes. He quickly screamed after in pain as he was pushed down onto the blue dragon's back.
"Leaving..?" Natsu muttered as his dragon black eyes targeted Larmin. Natsu landed on top of Motherglare as he watched Larmin try to get back up. "Let me make this clear… your about to die." Natsu announced to Larmin as steam rolled off his fists. Both of his hands then were lit on fire that glowed around them. His fire on his hands then began to grow hotter as they turned to white and everyone watched as bits of white lightning was sent through them.
Larmin was able to finish getting up but he stood there in shock and fear. Not one, not two, but three elements were circling around Natsu's hands. 'How many modes does he have?' Larmin thought to himself as he watched Natsu begin to slowly walk towards him.
"Let's go!" Natsu screamed as he took off with alarming speed at Larmin. Natsu turned into a white lightning bolt as he disappeared and quickly appeared behind Larmin. "Fairy Dragon's Lightning Fist!" Natsu screamed as his first punch connected with Larmin's side and sent him flying on top of the blue swirly scaled dragon.
"Ice God's Sword!" Larmin screamed as flipped himself up and clapped his hands together. A chilly swirl wrapped around his hands as a black sword materialized in his hand. Larmin pushed off towards Natsu as he brought his ice sharp sword down onto his arm.
A slashing sound was made as the sword scraped against a hard shell. "Fairy Dragon Scales.." Natsu silently muttered as golden scales appeared on his arms. The sword simply struck it and bounced off as it caused him no damage. "Tickles.." Natsu laughed with a grin as he pulled back his right arm and sent a fiery white fist at Larmin.
Larmin took the hit as he gasped in pain. He was too close to dodge so all he could do was take the hit. "Ice God's Shield!" Larmin screamed as he put up a small black ice shield to protect himself from Natsu's next oncoming attack.
"Do you really think that can stop me?!" Natsu yelled as he sent another white fiery fist straight at his black shield. "Of course.. there's no human that can beat a demonic god!" Larmin laughed as he watched Natsu attempt to break his shield. He already knew he couldn't so he was safe. Larmin kept his red claws holding the shield but his crimson eyes widened as he saw the crack slowly appear on his shield.
"A god you say? Then what am I?" Natsu asked with a huge smirk plastered across his face. Crack. The black shield broke as Natsu's fiery white hand went through it. As the punch connected to Larmin's face, he was sent straight off of Motherglares back and towards the ground below them.
"GAH!" Larmin spluttered as spit came out of his mouth because of the attack. 'H-how?' Larmin thought as he looked back up at Motherglare. He watched Natsu dive off of Motherglare and dive straight at him covered with white flames and lightning. "Fairy Flame Dragon Roar!" Natsu screamed as he sent a swirl of white fiery flames at Larmin under him.
As both of them free fell from where they took off of Motherglare they continued to fight. Larmin used his massive black legs to push himself slightly with his cold ice away from the roar Natsu sent at him. The attack missed him by an inch as he watched it hit the ground far under him and rip it apart. As the attack died down the house that once was there was no longer.
Larmin looked back up and saw Natsu right in his face as he gasped. "Like I said.. you're going to die!" Natsu screamed as he grabbed his two demonic horns sticking out of his face. As Natsu held them he lit both of their selves on fire and went faster towards the oncoming ground. "I.. won't let you!" Larmn muttered between struggling of who was going to fall first onto the ground.
Natsu used is white flames again to push him to the top as they neared the ground. The ground was getting to close to make any more decions. "Night.. night!" Natsu yelled as he watched Larmin's crimson eyes widen in shock.
As they both hit the ground with Larmin on bottom the blast echoed throughout the city. The blast turned white as it surrounded them and took out almost anything else standing. As the thick dust cleared Natsu stood up once again as Larmin laid still on the ground. The attack had worked and Natsu began to walk away from Larmin.
"Get up.." Natsu muttered as he stopped and turned around. He stared at the still body of Larmin and waited there. He already knew Larmin was still alive and able to fight. He could easily hear the shallow breaths and bones moving still.
"That hurt… pretty bad." Larmin whimpered as he pulled himself out of the creator that there blast of landing made. He cracked his bones and looked off at Natsu. Drips of blood dropped from his cuts from the attacks and hits he had received. The battle wasn't even close to finish and yet they were both already tired.
"Motherglare.." Larmin muttered as the blue dragon appeared behind him. He quickly hopped on top of the dragon as it took off with speed. Natsu just stood there laughing as he watched Larmin attempt to flee.
"Atlas.. you ready?" Natsu asked as he turned around. Atlas flame landed behind him with a flap of his wings. The flame dragon towered over him as it looked Natsu dead in his eyes.
"Of course son of Igneel." Atlas laughed as he watched Natsu jump on top of him. As Natsu sat on his head he felt Natsu take some of his flame and regain some magic to fight again.
"So you did come.." Larmin sighed as he flew around in the air on top of Motherflare. He watched Natsu come towards him flying on Atlas Flame's back. All he could do was sigh as he hoped for a longer rest. He was just now getting his breath back as Natsu showed up.
'Perfect.. were above the gate.' Natsu thought as he took in his surroundings. He looked around and saw all the dragon slayers fighting dragons. He noticed all the fights were so far even and the dragon slayers were at least holding their own against the dragons.
"Ice God's Cannon!" Larmin screamed as he watched Natsu look at him without a care in the world. A black cold swirling vortex was sent at Atlas's flame as he hoped it would freeze and make them both fall. As he watched Atlas's wing begin to freeze he smiled with glee. It had worked.
"Hehe.. do you think you can really freeze me?" Atlas Flame asked as the black ice around his wing instantly melted and he stood there flying without any damage. Atlas Flame pushed his wings again as he took off with speed towards the fleeing Larmin and Motherglare as both of them noticed that they were in a bad situation.
"Where you going..?" Natsu asked as he watched Larmin fly away from him. It had looked as if Larmin was trying to run away. "Fairy Dragon's Roar!" Natsu screamed as he sent out a roar of white flames at Larmin. By a foot it missed as it shot towards the ground and hit it.
"Atlas.. let's go up and finish this.." Natsu announced with a smirk. It was time to end this long fight. It was now long running and chasing as it became a boring fight for him. "As you wish son of Igneel.." Atlas Flame replied as he pushed his flaming wings again and went towards the red moon high above them. Once there Natsu jumped off as he looked up at the peaceful night sky.
High in the clouds there was no chaos. No fighting.. only peace. "Here.. we.. go.." Natsu breathed as he flipped himself towards the ground. "Fairy Dragon Flaming Arrow of Lightning!" Natsu screamed with all his might as he sent himself towards the ground with massive amounts of speed and power.
In seconds Natsu appeared above Larmin and Motheglare as his attack connected with them. As the attack connected it sent both of them flying down towards the bronze Eclipse Gate's doors that were nearing them below. All three of them were going straight at the gates. There was no stopping them and the gates were about to be finally destroyed. The dragon fights and the war about to end.
Natsu streamed line down straight at the gates and Larmin and Motherglare screamed and roared with pain at the three elements twisting and combing together. Once they were close, all the attacks.. the dragon.. Larmin.. and Natsu struck the gates with a force. Everything around them was pushing back or destroyed as the gates collapsed. Every fight stopped as the gates broke apart. The war had just ended. Was Crocus safe? Are the dragon's going to now leave because the gates were destroyed?
"Hmm..?" Zirconis announced as he looked up at the black night skies. When he looked up he saw a massive white fire ball falling down straight at the doors behind him. His eyes widened in shock as he began to push off towards any direction he could before the blast struck the doors.
As he made it a bit away the white fire ball struck the door as the blast was sent in all direction. It pushed him towards the ground as he it sent him flying. As he landed he crashed and flattened even more houses. He got himself back up just in time to see the metal bronze frame of the Eclipse gate fall over.
"The gate.." Erza muttered in surprise. She had drips of red ruby blood dropping towards the ground from her numerous scratches and was breathing hard from using too much magic. Her muscles were aching as she watched the dust around where the Eclipse Gates once stood. She gasped as she saw a figure begin to walk out of the smoke.
He had spiky hair.. a cloak flying in the wind as it flapped behind him. As the smoke cleared she saw a tired Natsu slowly walking away. Behind him was Larmin lying on the ground.. and Motherglare sprawled on top of the destroyed gate.
"Natsu!" Mirajane yelled as she let go of her dragon take over as she finally let herself take a rest from the long fight. She ran towards Natsu as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek. Not even a second later she felt Erza's arm around her as she felt Erza wrap around Natsu as well.
"It's over.. finally over.." Natsu muttered as tears ran down his cheeks. The dragon was done. Larmin was dead. The Eclipse Gates were destroyed.
"So it seems it's time for us to leave son of Igneel.."
Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane looked up and saw Atlas Flame towering over them with a huge grin on his fiery flaming red and orange face. Atlas slightly bowed his head at Natsu as he began to slowly fade away as he laughed again.
"You're going to have to tell us why you knew him.. you do realize that right?" Mirajane asked with her kind hearted smile as she looked at Natsu. Natsu simply nodded in response as tears continued to stream down his face.
'Haru.. I'm so sorry.. I couldn't save you.' Natsu thought to himself as he looked at the cold stone body of Larmin. Suddenly the blue scaly dragon next to him began to fade away as well as the Eclipse Gates destruction took into effect.
"So it seems it time for me to leave as well.." Fuyu announced with a sniff. Natsu, Erza, and Mirajane looked over from where they were hugging and saw Fuyu standing there with red puffy cheeks. She had been crying and had red stains running down her black outfit.
"Fuyu.. so this is good bye?" Mirajane asked as she let go of Natsu and ran over to Fuyu. Once she got there she grabbed Fuyu and pulled her into her arms for a large needed hug. She held Fuyu to herself as she heard her sniff again.
"Don't worry mom.. I won't be gone for long.." Fuyu replied to Mirajane with a sniff. Her warm gentle hand brushed against Mirajane's stomach as she looked at the golden Fairy Tail symbol protecting a very younger version of her. Once she disappeared it wouldn't even be a year before she returned and this time.. she would have her dad there to bring her up.
"Good bye Fuyu.." Natsu whispered aloud as he watched Fuyu begin to glow white in Mirajane's arms. A second later she blasted into white snow as she disappeared for ever. The future that once was ahead of them was disappearing… so everything from there old future was now disappearing. 'When your both back.. I promise you both ill protect you forever.' Natsu thought to himself as he made himself a resolve and knew he would stick to it.
"Sheesh.. that was gruesome.." Gray announced as he walked up where Natsu, Mirajane, and Erza was standing. Behind him the rest of Fairy Tail was coming as well. The fights were over and the dragons were disappearing.
"Seems the stripper made it.." Natsu announced with an old laugh as he watched all of Fairy Tail walking towards him. The majority of them were beaten up and tired. They still had open wounds running along them but they still all met up to make sure there family was safe once again.
"Hey.. im not a stripper.." Gray replied with another laugh that he needed.
"Gray.. your clothes.." Cana sighed as she looked over and looked straight at Gray's bare butt. Fairy Tail was being normal as they came togeather. They all began to laugh as they smiled.
"Oww.. did anyone else have to fight all those little dragon things?" Macao asked as he arrived with Wakaba and his son. In the midst of fighting the dragons, smaller mini dragons had appeared by the thousands.
"Yeah.. if you weren't a dragon slayer I think the majority of us were fighting those weird things as well." Elfman announced with a huge sigh as he sat down on the ground. Like everyone else.. they were exhausted and tired.
"So it seems you're alright master." Sting announced as he arrived. His clothing was tattered from fighting a dragon and Rogue was walking nearby behind him with their two exeeds. Now all the dragon slayer were arriving from their own battles.
"I hope you do realize I can hear you.." Natsu announced as he stayed looking at all of the Fairy Tail wizards arriving. Cobra had appeared again and now was hiding behind a broken wall to stay away from going back to jail for the time being.
"That's my saying.." Cobra sighed as he stood up and walked towards Natsu. "Is your deal still in effect.. It feels nice being outside again." Cobra asked Natsu as he walked up to him with his normal grin and right eye closed.
"I don't know.. will have to find out." Natsu replied with his own smirk back. As he looked back he saw that all of Fairy Tail had returned safely. Everyone was back and now beginning to rest again after the long battle. Master Makarov, Gildarts, Gray, Macao, Wakaba, and everyone else from Fairy Tail had returned safely from the long fight over the day of the 7th of July.
As everyone looked off in the distance the first sign of the sun began to appear as they all began to laugh and cheer. Every guild that fought in the dragon war was alive and healthy. The citizens were safe though there city was long destroyed. It was time for them to rest and recuperate.
"I call his chest!"
"No I'm his wife, so I get first choice!"
"Bull shit, were both of his wives bitch!"
"Uh.. girls..?" Natsu announced with a sigh. Natsu was lying back on a spare bed in a spare room underneath the castle. Luckily everyone else was doing the same as the majority of everyone was trying to get some sleep and rest. But sadly for him.. he had 4 very hot women fighting over his chest above him. All four of them wanted to use his chest as pillow for the night.
"Shut up! This is a fight that must be done!" Erza yelled as her eyes stared at Ultear's. She was fighting for her husband's strong chest that she loved to use as a nice warm pillow every night.
"Fine then.. I challenge you to a test of adherence, prepare yourself!" Ultear yelled back as she grabbed her black blank shirt and pulled it up over her head to reveal her perky breasts.
"I guess I have no choice then.." Erza sighed as she got onto her knees and her magic whirled around her. Once it finished she was naked with everything showing as she gave her husband a very nice show.
"Erza.. Ultear.. you can do this another night. I'm tired.." Natsu sighed as he reached up and grabbed both Ultear's and Erza warm hands as he pulled both women down upon himself. Erza's head landed on his left side of his chest as she stared at Mirajane as had fallen asleep on his right side of his chest. Ultear's head was now resting on his hard abs with Meready's head as all both women instantly sighed and began to calm down.
It seemed Natsu was right.. they were all tired and needed some rest before they could do anything. Luckily it was only early morning and the sun was just only beginning to shine before the snores begin to sound as they were all out cold.
"Go away.. I'm sleeping.." Natsu moaned as he buried his face deeper into Erza's large breasts. As he snuggled deeper into them he heard yet another knock on the door as he gave a loud sigh. "One second.." Natsu sighed as opened his eyes and began to move his head. As he did he rubbed his eyes and began to wake himself up. Natsu looked around the room as he took in where he was.
He was laying on a large king size bed with four other women. There was Mirajane, Erza, Ultear, and Meredy all still out cold sleeping. He noticed that the floor was white clean tile with a few dark wooden book shelves. The walls were painted a nice tan brown color and there was there spare clothing covering a table near their bed.
Natsu quickly got up out of bed without disturbing his lovers and began to walk towards the door. As he opened the door he saw a man with silver armor standing there as he waited for Natsu.
"Master Natsu I have a message to give to you." The Crocus city guard announced as Natsu opened the door with a sigh. Natsu was barely awake, tired, and really didn't want to be up. He had been enjoying using Erza's breasts as a nice pillow.
"What's the message, if someone from Fairy Tail destroyed something then just send me the bill.." Natsu replied as he looked at the guard in silver armor. Since he became guild master, he had gotten very used to having to get the bills from everyone over Fairy Tail destroying many things. Since he became guild master the main person to send him the bills were cities.. apparently Sting and Rogue were just like him when he was young.
"There isn't any bills.. there is just a letter. The King of Crocus has invited you to a royal party in his castle. The castle should be repaired enough to host the party. Also the princess of Crocus has also sent me to give you a personal message." The guard in armor explained to Natsu as he gave him a pink envelope with his name neatly written on it.
"Uh.. thanks. I'll tell the rest of Fairy Tail later. I think we all need our sleep." Natsu replied with a bit of a surprise. He was expecting a large bill.. not an invitation or a letter from the princess herself. As Natsu took the letter he smiled at the guard and quickly closed the door. Once done he walked back to his bed and got back in. Mirajane and Erza quickly grabbed onto him as they snuggled into his warm body once again.
'Well.. let's find out what the princess wants..' Natsu thought to himself as he looked at the pink envelope with his name on it and began to prepare himself. He had a very bad feeling about the envelope.
"Dear Natsu.. Guild Master of Fairy Tail,
I hope you're the one reading this and I hope you can come to the party that my father is hosting tonight. I would love to meet you as I have heard so many things about you. Tonight's party is to celebrate the lives we have saved and the future we have changed for the better. I hope to see you tonight Natsu.
Love, Hisui."
"LOVE?!" Erza screamed out aloud as she secretly read the letter that Natsu was also reading. How could yet another women love Natsu? 'Yes.. Natsu's handsome.. protective and strong.. but o Natsu.. I hope he knows how much I love him..' Erza thought to herself as her brain became mush and she began to rub her hand along Natsu's strong warm chest. Luckly for her she had woken when Natsu got out bed and heard the guard speak. So she also knew she was the only one awake of the girls, so Natsu was all hers.
"Oww…" Natsu moaned in pain as his ears pulsed from Erza's scream and he then watched Erza's anger begin to change. Natsu became even more confused as he watched her begin to rub again his chest. 'Did she forget what she was thinking..?' Natsu thought as he watched Erza pull herself on top of him and rubbed herself against him in a seductive way.
"Natsu.." Erza whispered as she brought her red lips up to Natsu's and began to kiss him as she grinded on top of him.
"Ahem.. Why did you scream..?" Ultear asked with a tired voice as her eyes looked at Erza and Natsu making out. Her cheeks went a bit red as she watched Erza easily take control of Natsu and force him to do what she wanted. Though she really just wanted to go back to bed.. but now Erza's scream made her curios. Ultear looked around as she saw that Erza wasn't stopping. As her eyes scanned the room she saw a pink piece of paper on top of a small pink envelope with Natsu's name on it.
"What's this?" Ultear announced as she picked up the piece of paper and began to read it. "LOVE?!" Ultear screamed as soon as she finished reading and quickly pushed Erza off of Natsu. Ultear straddled Natsu to make sure he couldn't get away and stared down into his warm black eyes.
"What was the meaning of that?" Erza yelled at Ultear as she picked herself off of the floor from where Ultear threw her and looked at Ultear. She then saw the pink piece of paper and remembered why she had yelled. The letter from the princess..
"This is why! How many lovers do you have Natsu?" Ultear asked as she stared at him with a small bit of anger to make him talk about the letter in her hand. A women's wrath was horrible and scary.. not a single man would go against it.
"I don't know.. I was reading it to figure out why Princess Hisui sent it me.." Natsu replied with a sigh. He hadn't a clue why as well. His guess was good as hers as well.
"Then I think we should we find out.." Ultear announced as she quickly got off Natsu and ran to grab some clothing. She wasn't wearing any clothing already from last night's fight with Erza.
"I agree.. we should interrogate her to make sure.." Erza replied to Ultear and she quickly requipered to her casual outfit. She now wore a pair of black yoga pants, black sneakers, and a white tank. Erza then walked over to the table and grabbed Natsu's white wizard saint jacket to keep herself warm.
"Don't.. you can talk to her tonight at the party.." Natsu explained to Erza and Ultear as hewatched them quickly get there clothing on and began to go towards there door. Natsu could only sigh over there reaction but luckily what he said was true. They could talk to Hisui tonight at the party.
"Party..?" Ultear asked in confusion. She wasn't awake to hear what the guard told Natsu so she wasn't aware of the party yet.
"Yeah party.. there's one tonight for all the wizards that fought the dragons.." Natsu explained as he yawned and began to get up. He sat up and right as he went to stand up he felt to smooth arms wrap around his stomach from his back.
"If you're heading to the shower.. take me to.." Mirajane muttered with a sleepy look as she rested her head against Natsu's back. She was still half asleep but knew in her mind that if there was a party to go to, she had to get ready to impress people. She needed to make some males jealous of Natsu so she could have her own little demon side loving how Natsu fought over her.
"If there's a party.. I need to get ready!" Ultear screamed with lust as she quickly grabbed the door and threw it open. Before anyone could remind her that her clothing was in the room they were in.. she was gone.
"Alright.. I guess we can have some fun then.." Natsu laughed as he pulled Mirajane's smooth thighs around his waist and stood up as he gave her a piggy back ride. He quickly felt Mirajane wrap tighter around him as she brought her lips up to his ear.
"Sorry my dragon.. not right now.. but tonight you can do that to me as much as you want.." Mirajane whispered as she was brought to the bathroom on Natsu's back.
"That's not fair.." Natsu sighed but couldn't help but love the ticklish feeling that was sent through his body by Mirajane's whisper. Natsu laughed a little bit as he entered the bath room and knelt down to rest Mirajane on the counter.
"Thank you." Mirajane told Natsu as she hopped off the counter and kissed Natsu's cheek as he stood up again. Mirajane quickly turned on the water and hopped in it. Natsu just stood there as he watched the water run along Mirajane's goddess like body. He watched as her snowy hair stuck to her back and the water bounced off her large soft breasts. This is the exact reason why he loved his wives sleeping naked.
"Damn it.." Natsu sighed and quickly left the bathroom and got back onto the bed to hopefully let something of his grow a tad bit smaller.
"Sheesh.. your horny like always."
Natsu looked up from where he laid and saw Erza with a huge grin on her face. He watched as she licked her lips and looked down at something very hard of his.
"I guess I'm getting breakfast.." Erza giggled to herself as she grabbed Natsu's boxers and slowly pulled them down to reveal something large.
"Erza.." Natsu moaned silently as he felt a warm breath roll over his erection and then felt a hot wet tongue begin to lick it.
"What about me?" Meredy asked with a sleepy look as she looked down at Natsu face from where he laid his head at. Meredy smiled at him with her adorable look and grabbed the comfort that was wrapped around her naked body. As she grabbed it she covered herself, Natsu's chest, and his head with it. Meredy bent down and connected her lips with Natsu's as he moaned out again.
"Yeah that's manly!" Elfman roared as he watched Cana and Bacchus drink barrels of beer. They were chugging them down as they went against each other during a drinking contest.
The room was lively with people cheering and talking as butler's walked around severing wine and food. The diamond chandlers above were shinnying and the room was bright with activity. Everyone was relaxing and just having fun as they laughed and talked.
"Uh w-well yes.. he's quite cute.. I'm sorry.." Hisui the princess of Fiore explained to Erza and Mirajane as she blushed fiercely. Her heart was racing a bit as she hadn't realized that Natsu wasn't just married. Apparently it wasn't just her that liked Natsu. Sadly thought there was two strong women making sure she couldn't get with him.
"Sorry.. I kind of just like defending him in some way. A lot of women out there like Natsu.." Mirajane sighed as she explained to Hisui her situation. She hadn't meant to hurt or make the Princess of Fiore nerves or scared. She had just wanted to make sure she knew that Natsu belonged to her and Erza.
"Hmm.. I wonder where Natsu is at actually." Erza announced as she turned around and only some more people talking. Natsu wasn't there partying. He was gone.
"He's probably just talking to someone important.." Mirajane told Erza with her normal beautiful smile. Mirajane's baby blue eyes sparkled as she looked around. That night she wore a white dress that hugged her body to make men's mouths drop. It did exactly as she wanted it to do. Erza was wearing a short black dress that went up to her thighs.
Erza had worn a short dress so when she would arrive back at her room with Natsu it wouldn't take long to strip and begin there long needed romp of fun. It was a perfect plan. As Mirajane looked around she looked at the men nervously huddled around the bar and tables of food. They were all staying away from the women with their teeth chattering scared. Apparently earlyer Natsu made sure that no one would be asking his wives to dance. Typical Natsu..
'Where is he anyways..?' Mirajane thought to herself as she continued to look around. Erza hadn't been kidding it looks like. Natsu was nowhere to be seen. He was gone..
"Like you said.. maybe he had to meet with someone or maybe he's thinking.." Erza suggested with her small smile to cheer her best friend up. It was quite weird that Natsu wasn't there and around them like he normally was.
"The last twenty four hours have been crazy.." Natsu announced aloud. He was sitting on the edge of the castle as he looked at the dark night sky filled with shinnying stars. The moon was back to its normal white self as he looked around and starred off into space.
"Haru.. I couldn't save you.. am I not strong enough?" Natsu asked aloud as multiply things ran through his mind. So many things had happened. To many in fact.. now that the dragons were gone.. he had to figure out what was going on with Tartarus.. something had to be going on. They had attacked him multiply times and even spoken to him.
"So this is where you're at.."
Natsu looked behind him and began to stand as he saw Jellal with his blue hair flowing. His red tattoo across his face stood out from the clothing he wore and he looked very calm.
"Yeah.. I just needed to think. You're not going to enjoy the party?" Natsu asked as he looked at Jellal. Jellal wasn't wearing a tuxedo like every man and guy here because of the party. He was actually wereing robes to hide his body. They were jet black like the night sky so it hid him very well.
"Natsu.. im sorry." Jellal sighed and looked at Natsu. He saw at his black eyes became confused. Jellal brought his hand into his pocket as he grabbed something from in it. "I'm really sorry.." Jellal announced again and quickly took a step forward at Natsu and brought his hand out of pocket.
Natsu's heart skipped a beat as his eyes widened in shock. Natsu slowly began to fall back as he watched his body become stiff and fall off of the castle. As he fell into the darkness he could only see Jellal's eyes become red with power and see spurts of ruby blood burst out of his chest.
As Natsu fell and watched Jellal leave his mind went blank. 'W-what..?' Natsu thought as his mind went crazy to comprehend what the hell was going on.. He had just been stabbed by Jellal. Something had been on the knife as well. His body was stuck and he was nearing the hard ground to fast to do anything.
All Natsu could do was whisper four names before something tragic happened.
"Mira.. Erza.. Haru.. Fuyu.." Natsu whispered as a single tear flew from his eye and a crunching splat was echoed in the dark alley way where he landed in.
