Gajeel: about damn time

current time till face goes off twenty-five minutes


Natsu stood in front of the demon known as Mard Geer, who smiled at the sight in front of him "to think a dragon slayer of your potential would arrive," he laughed, "your power is like Igneel."

"I guess we have that in common," Natsu shouted as he tried to punch Mard Geer, who jumped out of the way as Natsu focused on the book in his hand 'so that's the book of E.N.D.

"over there," Igneel said, showing Natsu Mard Geer, who was still watching the fight, "get a good look," Igneel said, "the book he's holding, that's the book of E.N.D" Igneel explained.

"I need you to steal it," Igneel said "he's the reason for all of this," Igneel said, "you need to stop him. ending this once and for all," Igneel said, "now listen, once you get the book, you are not to open it or destroy it," Igneel said, "no matter what."

"I'm taking that book," Natsu said "promised my dad I would"


Tartaros arc: Mavis' truth


Igneel let out another roar in the skies above as he and Acnologia continued their ariel clash. meanwhile, his son faced off with the underworld king as the two got ready to fight again "let's go," Natsu shouted as he rushed Mard Geer again, who only shook his head

"I find that cocky attitude rather annoying," Mard Geer said "dragon spawn," he screamed as he created a large explosion "it would appear that the actual dragon is worth my worry, not the humans," he laughed as Natsu appeared kicking him in the face "what" as Natsu smiled.

"{Fire dragon: iron fist}" Natsu screamed as Mard Geer caught the attack

"I can't believe I was afraid of you disrupting my plans," Mard Geer said "your nothing but hot air," he said as he slammed him into the ground, where he created a hole

"Natsu" Igneel shouted as Acnologia attacked him again looked back to see Acnologia

"it would appear you have finally returned," Acnologia growled, "king of the fire dragons."

"so, you finally decided to talk," Igneel said, "do you have any last words."

"I thought I'd give my final farewells to one of my greatest foes," Acnologia said, "but I wonder," he asked, "does your child know the truth," he laughed, "or is it something you're hiding from me."

"your end is here, Acnologia," Igneel screamed as he charged him again.

Natsu fell down as he tried to gain his footing as Mard Geer smiled "it's over," Mard Geer smiled "time to end this{curse of thorns}" he said as his thorns attacked Natsu as he tried to dodge as a large group appeared as someone appeared from the bushes grabbing Natsu as a large dome of snow appeared blocking the attack and cutting off the thorns as it landed on the ground.

Natsu felt something on him as someone stood up. "Natsu," the voice called, "you okay" he looked up to see Meredy sitting on top of him.

"yeah," Natsu muttered as he sat up, "what are you doing here."

"long story short, Wendy got pulled from the destroying the first FACE," Meredy explained "then me her, and few members of the Oracion seis came here to back you up" she smiled, "was Igneel inside your stomach."

"yeah," Natsu said, "I got a lot of questions right now" as he sat up

"Alright then, let's go," Meredy said

"I need to do this alone" this comment got Meredy to hit him on the head. "what the hell" Natsu shouted as Meredy stood up.

"Meredy, I need a favor from you' Igneel had asked. "Natsu is going after the book of E.N.D."

"umm, okay," Meredy answered, "why."

"it important I need you to help him out," Igneel asked "we both know how he gets. I already know the other dragon slayers will help, but you need to convince him to take that help."


[##fairy tail main theme piano ver. ost##]


"look, I understand why you're doing this," Meredy said "you want to get answers as bad as I do," Meredy said, "you want to understand everything that is going on" she stood up as she looked back to Mard Geer, who was looking at them "you want to end this and learn why they left us" she looked back at Natsu as she reached her hand out "but this is my fight just as much as it's yours right" she smiled.

"that's," Natsu started as he looked away.

"come on," Meredy said, "let me help you," she whispered the last part of their conversation from all those years ago.

Flashback

Natsu and Meredy lay on opposite sides; both felt tired and injured from their fight. Their attacks had destroyed the area around them after their violent clash "hey," Natsu said, catching her attention and making her open her eyes, "you still alive over there," he said. His voice was tired, but the cool water against his skin kept him awake.

"yeah" was all Meredy said, neither said anything enjoying the silence. Before Meredy made another move, "why do you think they left us" she asked, breaking the silence "what did we do? Did we do something wrong" she asked, choking on her words, holding back tears. Natsu could hear the pain in her voice.

"I don't know," Natsu muttered, "I've asked myself that question every day for the last seven years."

"It has been seven years," Meredy muttered "time sure does fly," she said. "I guess the days started to blend," Meredy felt a smile form on her lips "all I cared about was seeing her again." Meredy admitted, "that, in the long run, it wouldn't matter because I would be in near her again."

"I know," Natsu said, catching her attention, "you did things, said things that you probably shouldn't have" Natsu started, "you pushed people away that cared about you in favor of someone who said that they understood what you were, that they could help you in ways that they can't."

"Would you stop," Meredy said, tears forming in her eyes "stop talking about me"

"I'm not," Natsu started as he stopped to catch his breath. "I'm not talking about you." hearing these words, Meredy stopped as tears flowed on her face. A small laugh soon worked its way out of her as Natsu found himself laughing.

End Flashback

"I know you said," Meredy muttered, "you said that if I ever was forgiven for my crimes," Meredy whispered.

"you believe that doing this will clear your doubt," Rustyrose called, "but for being such as you and I," he looked away, "there is no way out."

"you said I could make Magnolia my home," Meredy said "you meant that, right" the words were so calm Natsu could hear the fear in her voice "for fourteen long years, I've wanted answers," Meredy said as she reached out her hand "I know that we can do it together," Meredy said, "cause I know that my home is with you."

"Okay," Natsu said as he grabbed her hand, "let's do this together."

"knew you'd see things my way eventually," Meredy winked "let's go," she said

as Natsu and Meredy jumped; Mard Geer jumped back as he tried to block an attack from Meredy. As Natsu appeared, slamming him in the face and sending him away, Meredy jumped back, bringing her hands together "{snow dragons: shuriken}" Meredy shouted as she shot her attack as Mard Geer blocked the attack as Natsu appeared from the smoke

"{fire dragons: brilliant flame}" Natsu shouted as he blasted Mard Geer away. The demon jumped away as Natsu and Meredy stood next to each other

"{Fire dragons: sword horn}."

"{Snow dragons: wing strike}."

the pair slammed Mard Geer into a pillar as they landed on the ground "he's a tough one," Meredy whispered

"yeah," Natsu said, "but don't worry," he smiled. "I can hear some backup coming."

in the skies above, Igneel and Acnologia's attacks clashed again as Igneel backed up. "I've waited for this moment for so long, Acnologia," Igneel smiled "years ago, you slaughtered hundreds of my kin," Igneel said, "and still you show no remorse," Igneel said

"can't you see I've already paid my price," Acnologia said "now all I care about is destroying you" he screamed as he charged again


Dornbolt, Carla, Rossello, Cobra, Angel, and Midnight appeared "one more direct line, and we should be in the thick of it," Dornbolt said as he looked back to the sky

'I'm going after Meredy, ' Wendy shouted as she ran after the other dragon slayer "go find the other and make sure they're okay."

"I never imagined we would reencounter Acnologia," Carla muttered,

"you think Wendy and Meredy are going to be okay," Rossello asked

"they'll be fine," Carla said, "but we need to hurry up and find the others and get a situation."

"right," Rossello said, "so that red dragon is Natsu's dad," she asked, "that means he's on our side, right."

"yes," Carla said, "he is the one who raised Natsu after all."

"you never explained that," Cobra said

"what's there to tell," Carla said, "fourteen years ago, the dragons that raised Natsu, Wendy, Meredy, and Gajeel all vanished without a trace," she sighed, "and now they've reappeared."

"so, it's safe to say that another dragon we saw was Gajeel's dad," Rossello said

"right," Carla said, "come on, we should find the others" as she looked forward, "we need to know how many of the nine demon gates are still standing," she said

"come on," Dornbolt said as they vanished again.


"Juvia, how are you doing," Lucy asked as Juvia leaned back

"Juvia is fine," Juvia said, "just tired," shaking her head "no need to worry about me; you need to get that blood to Porlyusica," she said. "Juvia will be fine."

"right," Levy said, "we don't know how long Laxus and the other can last," Levy said

"Right then," Cosmos said, "We should get moving" she looked to Gajeel, who was looking at Acnologia," she frowned "look, I know you're worried," she said, "I can protect these two," she said, "go."

"but," Gajeel said, "what if"

"Don't worry about us," Levy said, "go get the answers I know you want," Levy said, "like Cosmos said, she's with us" she smiled at him.

"you're right," Gajeel said, "be safe."

"While you two do that," Lucy said, "I'll go find the others," Lucy said, "they're going to need to be caught up."

"right," Levy said, "we have a plan" she looked to Gajeel, "Be safe out there, okay," Levy said, "and remember no matter what."

"I know," Gajeel smiled, "and thank you," he said as he ran off. Levy picked up Juvia, helping her to her feet.

"come on, guys," Cosmos said, "stay close. No telling what other demons are lurking about."

"right," Levy said, "right behind you."

"thank you, Levy," Juvia said. "Juvia feels so sleepy."

"don't go thanking me yet," Levy said "gotta get out of this first," she said "come on, I marked the path to where Porlyusica was"

"Okay," Cosmos said, holding the jacket, "I'll follow your lead."


Kinana slid down another rock as she landed "hey, I finally found it," she said as she stopped. "Who's there" she shouted as she turned to see Gray walking up to her "oh, Gray," she whispered, "don't scare me like that."

"Kinana," Gray whispered. "I need your help," he asked, confusing the girl


"Lucy," Cana shouted, "Natsu," she called again as she looked back into the sky "come on, guys, where are you."

"Cana is that you," Lucy cried "you're all okay," she cried as she ran to her.

"Lucy," Cana said as Macao and Wakaba stood back, blushing "you came here by yourself," Cana asked.

"yeah," Lucy stopped, "now I'm alone" her mind went back to her sacrifice, what she did to bring this place down her hand on the broken key. A part of her wondered if she would ever see Aquarius again.

"Lucy, what happened," Cana asked.

"I'll be fine" Lucy shook her head "we'll all be fine."

"I'll take that as you wanna talk about it later," Cana said as she brought her in for a hug. "I'm just glad you're okay."

"Yeah," Lucy said, "so are Natsu, Juvia, Gray, and Gajeel," Lucy said, "we even found Cosmos too," she smiled "better news, we got the bane particle. blood."

"Really," Laki asked, walking up to her, "damn, you guys have been busy."

"Yeah," Lucy said

"what about the dragons in the sky" Romeo asked

"Don't worry about that," Lucy said, "the red dragon is Natsu's father, Igneel."

"wait, really," Cana said, "I knew it," she smiled, "that means he's on our side."

"How can you be sure about that," Millianna asked.

"why else would he be fighting Acnologia," Macao said, "but where was he"

"that's" Lucy looked away, remembering where and how Igneel and the other dragons came back "complicated," she said

"good to see you all, okay" a voice called as Lucy turned to see Dornbolt followed by Carla, Rossello, Angel, Cobra, and Midnight

"hey," Angel teased as everyone got ready for a fight

"don't worry, there with me," Dornbolt said

"Long story," Rossello finished

"I'm just glad you're all okay," Carla said

"wait, so is Meredy here," Lucy asked

"Yep, yep," Rossello said, "she went to bail Natsu out of dumb ideas."

"figures," Lucy said, "those two are going to destroy a city one day."

"There are hundreds of FACES out there right now," Angel said. "If just one of those things go off. It's the end of magic as we know it.

"damn it, so we're not out of this yet," Cana said "so you have a plan," Cana asked.

"not yet," Carla said, "we were hoping you guys would have an update."


[## Sanin no dragon slayer ost##]


Natsu jumped away as Mard Geer continued his attack using his thorns. Natsu ducked under another attack "Meredy," Natsu shouted, "fire dragons."

"Right behind you," Meredy shouted, "snow dragons."

"{wing attack}"

"you two are impressive," Mard Geer said, "but it's not enough," Mard Geer shouted as he summoned more thorns, only for them to be cut in half as he back up as Gajeel appeared in front of him "what," he said as he tried to punch him as he turned into a shadow as Wendy appeared.

"{white sky dragon mode}" Wendy shouted "{white sky dragons: talon}" she screamed as she kicked him away.

"the hell took you to so long" Meredy shouted

"Sorry," Wendy said

"got lost," Gajeel said

"never mind that," Natsu said "come on," he shouted, "We gotta get that book," Natsu shouted "we get that. We get all the answers we want," he said as the other dragon slayers nodded.

"Right behind you," Wendy shouted

"I'm ready when you are," Gajeel said

"hell yeah," Meredy said. above them, Igneel saw them together; a smile formed on his face as he continued his fight, no longer needing to worry about some because he knew they would have each other's back

"Yeah, we're all fired up."

"what" Mard Geer barely had time to react as Natsu appeared, punching him in the stomach he tried to punch him to the ground as Gajeel appeared, using his club to send him back as he jumped over as Wendy jumped up.

"{sky dragons: wing attack}" she screamed as Mard Geer jumped back

"{snow dragons: talon} Meredy shouted as Mard Geer jumped back

"To think," Mard Geer whispered, "four would be in one place," he said

"Fire dragon"

"Iron Dragon"

"Sky Dragon"

"Snow Dragon"

"{roar}" the group let out their combined breath attack, enough to blast Mard Geer into the wall while creating a large explosion. As the four stopped standing back as Mard Geer stood up, a dark smile on his face as he growled.

"to think, for years, I thought your kind was extinct," Mard Geer muttered, "but now there are two dragons in the sky above," he whispered, "and then four spawn at my feet" he let out a small laugh, "and there are two more running around my castle," he said "it feels me with emotions that I haven't felt in centuries," Mard Geer said as an explosion rang from the sky showing his face filled with rage.

"Well, looks like you no better than us humans now," Natsu said, which got Mard Geer to laugh.


[## underworld king ost##]


"There are no humans among this group," Mard Geer said, "we have all passed that point a long time ago." he laughed again as he started to walk away "emotion has that habit of dulling the mind," Mard Geer said, "we are all susceptible to them" he looked at Natsu "hope" then at Gajeel "pride" than Wendy "courage," then finally at Meredy "rage" he laughed as he held up the book of E.N.D "you have to forgive me I simply forgot what the four of you represent as dragon slayers."

"what do you mean," Wendy asked

"your hour is nigh, master," Mard Geer said "just hold out a little longer," he said as he sat the book down before destroying the rubble as his throne appeared "and I," Mard Geer smiled as he took his seat glaring at the dragons in front of him, "am the king of the underworld" he smiled "come let us start this battle," he said, "but seeing as your hiding your strength I will hide mine until I get bored."

"what's he talking about," Meredy asked.

"his Etherious form," Natsu said, "all these guys have a second transformation that gives them more power."

"yes," Mard Geer said, "now come, let us test the limits of your might."

"We should keep him alive," Wendy said "this guy knows more than he's letting on," Wendy said, "I can tell from that smirk on his face."

"Now we begin," Mard Geer said.


[## absolute demon ost##]


Mard Geer snapped his fingers as large thorns appeared as everyone jumped away Gajeel turned his body to iron as everyone jumped back "get ready, everyone, time to end this," Wendy shouted, "enhancing all elemental resistances {Deus Corona}, enhancing all physical abilities {Deus Eques}" Wendy screamed as her magic power started to increase "swift wind, stalwart might, and steel resolve of the heavens combine" Wendy called"{lle enchantment}" Wendy shouted.

"Thanks for the boost, kid," Natsu shouted, "{fire dragons: sword horn}," Natsu shouted as Mard Geer blocked the attack blowing him away.

"oh crap," Sting shouted as they arrived, having heard the explosions "Natsu, Gajeel," Sting called.

"Are you guys okay" Rogue shouted

"get back," Gajeel screamed at the pair as a flower appeared on his chest, blowing him and Wendy away.

"Take this," Meredy screamed "{snow dragons: wing strike}" she screamed

"not going to cut it," Mard Geer shouted

"{roar}" she screamed as she flew up

"Sting Rogue" Natsu shouted. "I need a unison raid."

"did Natsu just ask us for help" Sting smiled?

"That means they're in over their head," Rogue said "come on," he said

"right," Sting said as he and Rogue got ready to do their unison raid

"{Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang}"

"light and dark," Mard Geer smiled "what perfect harmony" he smiled, "well, it won't last {vanish}" he smiled as Natsu and Wendy appeared.

"you ready, kid," Natsu asked "{lighting flame dragon mode}

"hell yeah," Wendy shouted, "{white sky dragon mode}" Wendy shouted

"Now may, the elements combine," Natsu and Wendy shouted, "dragon slayer secret art."

"what" Mard Geer shouted. "there able to combine the power."

"{shattering flame lotus: exploding white lighting drill}." the attack was strong enough to send Mard Geer to the ground as he jumped away, a look of anger on his face.

"die" he screamed as he blasted both away as Natsu and Wendy landed on the ground as Meredy landed next to them, as Mard Geer landed on the ground "maybe I should skip to the horrors," Mard Geer smiled as he wiped away some blood from his mouth "that my Etherious form will bring"

"you guys look ruff," Sting said

"let us help you," Rogue said

"Stay back," Natsu said, "then again."

"We could use the extra fist," Wendy muttered, "that spell takes it out of me."

"what the matter, dragons," Mard Geer asked

"Are you afraid of the netherworld"


[## Sun village ost##]


Mavis sighed as she walked into a small room with bright purple light shining around her as she thought about what Natsu told her, the message from her deceased friend that had her up in arms.

"Master, I have a message for you," Natsu said "it is from master Hades," he said, "I spoke to his spirit."

"what," Mavis said

"he said we need to unleash the light," Natsu said. "We need to use it," Natsu said. "Tartaros true goal is beyond FACE, and the fairy heart is our only shot."

"I never thought," Mavis said as she walked to the center of the room, "I never thought I'd have to use you" she started at a large crystal. Mavis took a closer look as a girl was seen inside.

"my original body"
