[E.N.D speaking] (In Natsu's head)
E.N.D wasted no time, he immediately charged at Atlas Flame. His tattoo covered right arm cocked back and his four claws clenched into a fist. Atlas Flame waited for E.N.D to arrive. The distance between the two started to become smaller and smaller.
When E.N.D was close enough Atlas Flame swiped a flaming claw at E.N.D's form. E.N.D saw the attack coming and sent his fist flying into the dragon's claw in a hook motion. A shockwave erupted from the contact point of the attacks. The water beneath churned, the shoreline was disrupted and even the clouds shook.
The impact from the two blows shook the earth itself but there was an obvious winner. Atlas Flame's claw had been knocked away from the black-haired youth. "What!" Atlas Flame said in a shocked manner. E.N.D capitalized. He rushed forward and grabbed one of the dragon's flaming toes. Atlas Flame felt the action and immediately felt unsettled.
With a massive display of strength E.N.D lifted the flaming dragon over his head and in one swift motion threw the dragon into the river below. Atlas Flame rocketed into the water causing a massive amount of water to splash upwards. E.N.D floated above, waiting. Natsu's black scale pattern scarf flapped about in the wind as it clung onto the powerful demon.
Seconds later an earth shaking roar sounded out, Mother Glare had returned and at the same time Atlas Flame burst out from the water. Mother Glare shot a bright aqua colored beam at the demon as Atlas Flame attacked from beneath him. E.N.D cast a glance at the two before disappearing. This caused Atlas Flame to miss and as a result Mother Glare's breath attack hit the flame dragon instead of E.N.D.
Fortunately for them the attack harmlessly passed through Atlas Flame causing him no harm. The two dragons looked around for their common enemy but couldn't find him anywhere. Almost as if he could sense his enemies distress E.N.D suddenly reappeared right in front of Mother Glare.
The dragon was dumbfounded for a split second but his slight hesitation would become his undoing. With speeds impossible to see with the naked eye E.N.D's left foot exploded with red flames and was sent flying into Mother Glare's chin knocking it upward. All Atlas Flame saw was flash of red light and then his partner's chin getting knocked up.
'What speed!' Atlas Flame couldn't help but have these words pass through his mind. E.N.D followed up his attack, he flew just above Mother Glare's raised head and extended his left hand onto the top of his snout.
He cocked his right hand back and it was set ablaze in a blood red flame. The flaming fist slammed down onto Mother Glare's head and a sound resembling thunder sounded out.
In an instant another punch landed on Mother Glare's head followed by another and another. Not a single second was spared between the punches and when each one was delivered there would be a numerous amount of lingering flames that would float in the wind and eventually disappear.
The continuous blows were all filled to the brim with strength resulting in the dragon slowly descending from the sky as his head was repeatedly battered.
Waves of heat rolled away from the one-sided beating as Atlas Flame began to make his way towards his comrade.
But he soon found that just getting there would prove to be difficult. The waves of heat being produced were actually pushing against the massive flame dragon and they even had enough force behind them to push him back! Atlas Flame was secretly astonished by this but he was far more afraid.
If the force of the fist was enough to hold him at bay then how much damage were they doing to Mother Glare?! Just thinking about it was enough to send chills down the fire dragon's spine as such he began to advance with much more haste, or at least he tried to.
"Mother Glare you must break free! If you don't you will die!" Atlas Flame shouted urgently. Indeed his friend was in grave danger and when Mother Glare didn't respond Atlas Flame grew even more worried. Unbeknownst to the fire dragon the damage had already surpassed his expectations.
It had only been ten seconds at most yet E.N.D's fists was ruthless. In under ten seconds the scales in the area the fists were hammering down on had already been broken through and could no longer be seen. All that remained was a bloodied dent in Mother Glare's head. Yet E.N.D didn't stop his fists continued their relentless assault.
As they did the dent on the grey dragon's head became more and more prominent. Atlas Flame slowly closed in but the closer he got the harder it was to move. E.N.D was only ten metres away at most but the time it took him to close the distance this much was too long.
Atlas Flame could only look on as the youth took the life of one of his lifelong friends. Twenty seconds passed, there was no break in during these times and Mother Glare's limp tail was already half submerged in water. From E.N.D's point of view the dent had turned into a bloody mess.
Traces of Mother Glare's skull could be seen but only in small amounts. As such the dragon's brain was now fully exposed and E.N.D decided to finish things off.
He raised his right hand up, higher than he ever did before and his fist combusted into red flames. Atlas Flame thought that once the onslaught stopped he'd be able to make his move.
But he was wrong, the flames in E.N.D's hands produced a force that was either slightly less or just as strong as the force from before.
Atlas Flame had never felt more helpless before today. He watched as the red flames began to grow in size.
The heat they exuded was immense and caused steam to rise up from the water. The flames grew massive until the heat that they emitted gave off the illusion of standing on a sun. When they reached this point there was a brilliant flash of red that blinded Atlas Flame. When the light faded it revealed E.N.D with his fist still raised in the air but there was a change.
The once massive flames had been condensed greatly and they were only the size of his fist now. Even so the pressure the flames gave off was immense and the damage dealt by this blow could only be guessed. E.N.D bent his elbow and aimed his fist in the exact same spot he had hit multiple times before.
He then brought his fist down and it struck down with a thunderous boom. As it hit a large flame pillar shot downwards, completely engulfing Mother Glare's head. The flame pillar was so hot that any water it neared was evaporated instantly as a result the flame pillar caused a small disturbance in the water.
If Mother Glare was alive before this attack had brought an end to his life.
The once proud dragon had been thoroughly defeated in battle. As the flame pillar dissipated Mother Glare slowly descended. Both E.N.D and Atlas Flame watched as the mighty dragon fell, one looked on in grief, the other looked on emotionlessly.
There was a large splash as Mother Glare's corpse fell into the river and began to sink down into the abyss. Witnessing his comrades final moments had a large effect on Atlas Flame.
His heart ached and he was filled with regret. He couldn't do anything, even when he tried it still proved to be of no use.
Against this new threat they were powerless. Perhaps they could have done something if they were together but before they even knew what was happening this black-haired youth had jumped onto one of them and in less than a minute had dispatched of Mother Glare like he was nothing.
E.N.D floated in the air silently. His face held no expression, his black hair and the black scaly scarf fluttered about in the wind. The black and blue shirt found tightly to him but it had been stained by blood.
His light gray cargo shorts were the only piece of clothing that did not seem to be affected by his previous actions. Slowly, he looked over at Atlas Flame, his blood red eyes could pierce one's soul and shatter their spirits.
This is exactly what was happening to Atlas Flame as he locked eyes with E.N.D. 'This can't be.' Atlas Flame thought to himself. "How…...How did one of your kind end up here?!" The flame dragon shouted his question at E.N.D.
In response to the flame dragon's suddenly outburst E.N.D slowly turned his body around and faced Atlas Flame.
"I don't need to answer you." E.N.D replied in a cold voice. He then slowly raised his hand up and pointed at Atlas Flame. "You're friend is dead and you're next." Spoke E.N.D. When these words entered the ears of Atlas Flame a cold chill ran down his spine. Immediately Atlas Flame turned around and began to fly away.
'He's too powerful! I…I have to gather the others!' Thought Atlas Flame as he retreated away, but not a second later Atlas Flame felt his two hind legs and tail be wrapped around by something and his body came to a sudden stop.
Atlas Flame's head turned around as he investigated what had stopped his movement. He was not prepared for what he saw. On each of the limbs that had been bound were chains that had been made out of red flames.
And these chains all lead back to E.N.D there was one connected to his left hand and the other two were connected to his right. Atlas Flame watched the black-haired youth smirk at him. "So, even a dragon becomes a dog before a demon, you really think I'd let you run away with your tail between your legs?" E.N.D pulled on the chains and Atlas Flame lurched forward.
'Ngh, what strength' Atlas Flame secretly praised before turning and flapping his firey wings, trying to propel himself in the other direction. E.N.D pulled once again, this time he pulled much harder resulting in the fire dragon coming even closer than before.
Atlas Flame began to beat his wings faster and faster, he clawed the air with his massive claws as if he was trying to pull himself away. E.N.D pulled a third time and the distance between the two was cut in half. "Hey what's wrong oh mighty dragon? Are you feeling sick?" E.N.D mocked the Atlas Flame in a taunting manner. In response Atlas Flame turned his head and shouted. "Can it!" E.N.D laughed. "Time to end this game of tug-o-war." Stated E.N.D as he pulled once more and the tip of Atlas Flame's tail came within E.N.D's reach.
Without missing a beat E.N.D put out the flames in his left hand and grabbed the tail, he did the same with his right hand soon after. Atlas Flame's expression turned gloomy as he felt his tail be grasped by two small sets of hands.
It didn't take a genius to figure out what it was much less a dragon. E.N.D chuckled darkly as he held the flaming tail in his hands. "There's no escape now, what will you do now?" E.N.D's chuckle slowly built up into an insane laughter. "Will you try to run?! Or...don't tell me you'll fight? Hahahaha!."
As E.N.D continued to laugh Atlas Flame began to grow angry. "Quiet! Haaaaahahh!" Atlas Flame's anger eventually exploded and with a shout he began to swing his tail around. E.N.D continued to laugh as his body was thrown about.
"I see! So you choose to fight. That's what I expect from a real dragon!" E.N.D's became excited as he began to fight back. E.N.D tightened his grip on the tail and twisted his hips. Atlas Flame suddenly felt his body lurch sideways and then he began to spin. E.N.D was spinning him around in the air!
Slowly the two began to spin faster and faster as E.N.D continued to spin Atlas Flame around. Soon it seemed like a ring of orange flame had formed in the sky as the speed E.N.D spun the massive dragon increased. Then, with a grunt E.N.D threw Atlas Flame up. The fire dragon's body was limp for a few seconds before he regained control.
Atlas Flame balanced himself out and built up a fireball the size of his head before he launched it at E.N.D. The fireball descend and E.N.D smirked. E.N.D took a long, deep breath in before looking straight at the fireball.
"Flame Demon's Rage!" E.N.D's mouth opened and a large amount of flames came forth. The flames spiraled causing the attack to take on the appearance of a tornado. The attack grew in size with each rotation and by the time it hit the fireball E.N.D's attack was already twice the size of it and it destroyed it effortlessly before continuing on towards the fire dragon.
Atlas Flame looked at the attack, his body was frozen in fear and soon he had been engulfed in the attack. When the flames dissipated there was nothing left.
E.N.D fled back towards the jungle when he saw the result of his attack, his facial expression held disappointment within it but it quickly reverted back to the normal emotionless state. Soon E.N.D returned to the mound that Natsu had found.
His body flashed with a light and he began to shrink. He slowly made his way inside and when he was done Natsu had taken his place. The young dragonslayer was sound asleep. [Well then I better think of a way to explain this to him.] Thought E.N.D as he returned to floating around in Natsu's mind.
