Chapter 21: Hurting a Mate´s Feelings.
Lucy, Yukino, Ur and the others on the boat looked at the top of the Tower of Heaven for what would happen next. "What will happen to Natsu-sama and Erza-sama?" Yukino said. "I do not know, but this battle will be a battle which we will never forget." Ur said, as she hoped, along with Lucy and Yukino, that Natsu would survive.
"Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu said as he sent a torrent of darkness towards Jellal, who dodged it by using his Magic Meteor, making him move in the same speed as a meteor.
"Don't escape!" Natsu said as he then formed darkness in his hands with his Molding Magic, making an orb of darkness which he sent in the air and then turned into thousands of swords which were launched straight towards Jellal.
"Dark Make: Rain of the Night Sky!" Natsu said, as the swords of darkness tried to strike Jellal, all of which unfortunately missed Jellal due the immense Speed of Meteor.
Jellal was suddenly in front of Natsu, as Jellal then kicked Natsu in the face, sending him towards a wall of Lacrima. It then caused a powerful explosion, leaving a massive cloud of smoke.
"NATSU!" Erza screamed, but couldn't move due to what Jellal did to her earlier.
"Don't tell me you can´t fight any longer? Too bad, because I haven't even started!" Jellal said as Natsu then got out of the smoke. "As if I will be take down by this kind of cheapness! Stop running away and fight me!" Natsu said, making Jellal grit his teeth.
"So, you want me to attack you? So be it!" Jellal said as he created a dark-colored globe of concentrated Magic.
"Corona Australis!" Jellal sent the globe towards Natsu, who managed to dodge it, which expanded progressively and destroyed everything in its path.
"Take this!" Natsu said as he then made a large spear of darkness, which was as big and wide as a tree and launched it towards Jellal.
"Dark Make: Nightmare Spear!" Natsu said as he sent the spear at Jellal. The Blue Haired man simply annihilated it by blasting it with his Darkness Magic, as Natsu ran towards him at great speed, while he created multiple crescent moon shaped discs of darkness with his Dark Make and then sent towards Jellal.
"Dark Make: Moons of the Endless Nights!" Natsu said, which hit Jellal, sending him to the wall. It caused an explosion of smoke and Lacrima debris falling everywhere, after which Jellal then came from the smoke.
"I'm not done yet!" Jellal said as he summoned the dust and pebbles around him into a disc around his right hand and then charged it with stellar energy from his right hand and threw it at Natsu. "Planetary Disc!" Jellal said, which then the disc of debris transformed into a burning ring of energy similar to a planetary disc around a proto star.
Natsu then made a pair of massive hammers of darkness, each big enough to crush an elephant each, as Natsu sent them to smash the incoming attack with them.
"Dark Make: Velvet Mallets!" Natsu said, as he smashed the disc with his hammers, shattering it to pieces.
"Don't get so cocky!" Jellal then started to punch the air in front of himself rapidly, during which a beam of light came from each punch.
As the beams of light came towards Natsu, it was hard for him to dodge due to their high speed. The beams that missed, hit the walls and caused many small explosions behind Natsu. Natsu was suddenly hit by one of them, after which more and more started to come.
"NATSU!" Erza screamed, while Natsu then created a shield of darkness with his Molding Magic, which blocked the rest of the light beams.
Natsu jumped away and landed on a different spot out of range, when suddenly he heard Nayoru speak in his mind. "Yo, this guy is pretty tough. Need any help from me? I have charged fully by now." Nayoru said mentally. "Not yet. I don't wanna spend more energy yet on him, but when things are getting ugly, I will tell you." Natsu responded in his mind to Nayoru. "You´re the boss." Nayoru went back to Natsu´s mind, as he couldn't argue with Natsu. "And besides, I have some cards I need to play with, as I haven´t used them in a while." Natsu said mentally and then started to gather Magic around himself, that was purple with black lining in color.
"This Magic, it´s the same as...?" Erza thought as she remembered the Magic from earlier.
"Take-Over: Satan Soul: Lullaby!" Natsu said as he then transformed into one of his demon forms, which then exploded in a burst of Take-Over Magic.
"A Take-Over Magic? And one of them is Lullaby? This should be interesting." Jellal said, while Natsu simply looked at Jellal coldly with his red eyes before he started to charge dark purple notes at Jellal. "Lullaby´s Death Roar!" Natsu sent the notes at Jellal, who simply dodged them, which had the notes destroying a wall.
"Not done yet! Lullaby´s Doom Breeze!" Natsu waved his hand, sending a wave of purple notes at Jellal in the shape of a crescent moon, big enough to slice a horse in half, which Jellal sent beams of light at them, obliterating them all.
Natsu then jumped towards Jellal who was in the air with great speed, shattering the floor underneath him, as Natsu charged his right hand with darkness, enchanted with purple notes.
"Satanic Abyss Dragon´s Song Fist!" Natsu punched Jellal in the stomach, breaking his ribs and making him cough up blood. Jellal was then sent into a wall as he got back up and then Natsu landed on the ground in front of Jellal.
"Impressive, but not enough to defeat me." Jellal said as he walked while smoke surrounded him. Jellal then made multiple Magic Circles appear in front of him and fired them into powerful beams of light. "Trianglum Atrale!" Jellal said as he sent the beams of light at Natsu, who used the enhanced speed of his Take-Over to dodge them, which once the beams reached a designated area, their Magic compacted itself and caused an explosion which shook the room.
Jellal then used his Meteor to appear in front of Natsu who was in the air and punched and kicked him on multiple places on his body repeatedly, which after a minute of constant attacking, Jellal punched Natsu hard in the stomach, launching him towards a wall, causing it to smash to pieces.
Natsu got up and jumped into the air while charging his right leg with purple notes.
"Satanic Abyss Dragon´s Talon!" Natsu said while he kicked Jellal in the stomach, sending him to the air, while Jellal then landed on the roof, but landed on his feet and Natsu was suddenly in front of him, with his fists covered in purple notes.
"Satanic Abyss Dragon´s Storm!" Natsu said while he punched Jellal in a flurry of punches repeatedly, which hit Jellal everywhere on his body and then he punched Jellal down towards the ground.
Natsu landed on the ground and he panted, while Jellal slowly got up from Natsu´s latest attack.
"Your skills are impressive, but you are becoming exhausted. Don't worry, since I am low on time to revive Zeref, I will finish you!" Jellal said.
"Screw you! I have more power than you can think of!" Natsu said and then transformed into another one of his Satan Soul Forms.
"Take Over: Satan Soul: Deliora!" Natsu said and he then transformed into his Deliora form. "Even the infamous Deliora, the Demon of Destruction? The rumors were true I see." Jellal said. "And if you wanna see something else that is true, it is when I break your face into pieces!" Natsu said and then he charged Magic Energy in his hands.
"Death Moon Light!" Natsu sent a beam of Dark Energy at Jellal. The Blue Haired man then raised his hand in the air as he gathered golden energy in his hand, which then formed into a ball as massive as an elephant, which was made of blinding white light. "Liming Yan!" (Chinese for Dawn Eye), which Jellal then pointed his hand towards Natsu, which sent the attack towards Natsu at great speeds. The attacks met as it created a massive clash that shook the room, which then resulted in an explosion, sending the duo away from each other.
Natsu landed on his feet on the floor while Jellal landed on his feet on a Lacrima pillar. Natsu then jumped from the ground with a great boost towards Jellal.
Once Jellal landed on the pillar, he pointed his hand towards Natsu, with his index, middle and ring finger in the air. He then gathered his Heavenly Body Magic and a spear of said Magic was created, which was in the same length of a giraffe's neck and had the spearhead in the shape of a Ranseur.
"Tian Mao (Chinese for Spear of Heaven)." Said Jellal and then sent the spear towards Natsu, which moved at lightning speed towards Natsu. Natsu managed to dodge it in the last second by jumping over it, but when Natsu was in the air, the spear then turned towards Natsu.
"What the hell?! It´s still following me?!" Natsu yelled as he then landed on the ground and tried to run away from it with the enhanced speed from his Take-Over: Satan Soul: Deliora Form.
"Of course, it is, the spear will chase after you to the ends of the world, as it is a Spear sent by the Gods from the Heavens, to punish the sinners for rebelling." Jellal said as he then landed on the ground.
Natsu ran across the hall, as the Spear went towards him, as Natsu then suddenly stopped, jumped up, grabbed the spear and then the threw it towards Jellal, who simply blasted it with his Magic.
"I am tired of you having all the shots. Time to do some shots too." Natsu said and then collected dark energy in his right hand, which he then drew a circle in front of him, which the hollow part of the circle got filled with dark energy.
"Death Hollow Star!" Natsu said as then a beam came from the circle, which flew straight towards Jellal, who then tried to block it with a shield of Heavenly Body Magic, which didn't work as it penetrated through the shield, hit Jellal and then sent him to the wall.
"I'm not done yet!" Natsu said as he then jumped into the air, then had his fists facing each other as a swirling cone of dark energy appeared in front of them. "Death Eye Cyclone!" Natsu said as he then sent the cyclone at Jellal, causing an explosion.
Smoke spread from Natsu as he sent his attack towards its target, which Jellal came out of it, with some bruises, but were not large enough to be noticed.
"Dammit, Void Knight is tougher than I thought. I won't be able to resurrect Zeref if he is still there! I need to finish him quickly." Jellal thought as he then eyed Erza. "But no worries, as long as I have Erza, my chances of ruling the world are absolute!" Thought Jellal with a wicked grin.
Natsu sprinted towards Jellal and then charged a large amount of dark energy in his mouth. "Death Chaos Roar!" Natsu sent the beam of dark energy from his mouth, which was coming towards Jellal, which Jellal managed to dodge with his Meteor, causing an explosion which shook the room once more.
At the same time, with the others on rowboat in the ocean...
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" Lucy yelled as she saw the explosion with the others, as earlier they saw the explosions from earlier. "Their battle is truly something you don't see every day." Gray said. "And it is about to become even more intense." Ur said while looking at the Tower with the others.
Back in the Tower, Natsu and Jellal continued to fight each other, throwing kicks and punches at each other as they brawled. Jellal was launched away by having Natsu punching him in the stomach, causing Jellal to cough up blood and was then sent away.
Jellal landed on the ground and then had his right hand formed into a chop form in a horizontal motion. He then gathered energy, which then Heavenly Body Magic gathered around Jellal´s figure. In front of Jellal, a V-shaped arrow head, which each side having pointed spikes similar to feathers, with the arrows is in front of Jellal´s fingers he had his karate chop on, (except his thumb), and the energy around the karate chop was shaped like a double arrow.
"Flecha Del Angel! (Spanish for Arrow of Angel)" Jellal said and sent the attack with great speed at Natsu.
It came towards Natsu like a tsunami, as Natsu then jumped in the last second to dodge with his enhanced jump boost from his Take-Over Form. The attack went on and cut several Lacrima pillars in half, as it then made it outside the Tower.
On the boat, Ur, Gray, Yukino, Lucy, Happy, Sho, Wally and Millianna was watching it, as the arrowhead soared the sky like an eagle of light, until it then exploded in a burst of light, leaving rings of light after it.
The ones on the rowboat were silenced by what they saw. "What the fuck was that...?" Gray said. "It was like it was an Assault from the Heavens!" Yukino said. "This Jellal is tougher than I thought." Ur said with horror. "Natsu, please make sure to be safe." Lucy said as she looked with the others on the Tower, as she felt the Mate Mark on her back tingle with power.
Back inside the Tower of Heaven, Natsu jumped in the air as he charged the next attack he had. With his hands he made a cross of darkness, which got bigger and bigger, which when it was big as a tree, he sent it towards Jellal.
"Death Cross Judgement!" Natsu said as he then sent it towards Jellal. The Cross of Dark Energy went towards Jellal, who had an aura of golden energy, which he then crossed his index and middle fingers in an x, which he then created a ball of golden light in front of him, which had a ring around it as well a smaller red orb inside it. "Witness the Offensive Version of Meteor!" Jellal said as the golden aura got stronger and brighter.
"Asteroid!" Jellal said as he then went straight to the Cross with the Golden Light Orb, which erased it like a drawing on a paper, as Jellal went then continued to go straight on to Natsu, leaving a trail of light raising into the air like flames.
Jellal hit Natsu dead on with the light orb as Natsu then coughed up blood due to the damage the attack gave him. Natsu was then sent to a wall of Lacrima, which Natsu got out of it. After Natsu walked out of the wall and stood on the ground panting, he then reverted from his Satan Soul: Deliora Form to his normal form.
"God dammit, he is tough. At this rate I won't be able to beat him and save Erza!" Natsu thought as he then took the sword he had in the holster on his back. "I may not have the power I used when I defeated that Devil Slayer guy, but I am gonna have this guy have Erza!" Natsu thought he gripped the black bladed katana and held in a motion, ready to strike Jellal.
"I have seen many things today, Abyss Dragon Slayer Magic, Take Over Satan Souls of Lullaby and Deliora and now, a Dragon Slaying Sword?" Jellal said as he then laughed evilly.
"But all of that is nothing compared to what I, as well as the world, will see soon! The Rebirth of Zeref!" Jellal said. Natsu responded by raised his sword and then pointed it at Jellal. "Not if I stop you." Natsu said as the sword got covered in black energy and then Natsu dashed towards Jellal.
"I feel actually kind of bad for you, Dragon Slayer, as you will not be able to witness the Birth of a New World after I kill you and send you to the Depths of Hell!" Jellal said. "As if I wanna see something you have done!" Natsu said as he raised his darkness coated sword in the air.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Dark Blood!" Natsu sent the blade in the slash of darkness from his blade in the shape of an arrow, which went straight towards Jellal, who dodged the attack in the last minute and as the attack of darkness hit the wall, slashing it which then crumbled.
"Not finished!" Natsu said as he then held the sword back and then went for another attack. The blade of the katana gathered darkness which was in the shape of the wing of a black dragon.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: NightWing!" Natsu said and sent a slash in the wing shaped slash towards Jellal, who then blasted it with a golden bullet of Magic, which then Natsu jumped into the air and then gathered darkness at the tip of the katana blade.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Edge Skyfall!" Natsu sent a beam of darkness from the sword tip, which went straight towards Jellal. The Blue Haired man then formed in his right hand similar to a crescent moon while having the left hand hold it.
"Crescent Moon!"Jellal made a crescent moon shaped object of golden Magic Energy, which Natsu's attack hit the crescent shaped objects, which then sent the darkness beam back at Natsu.
Natsu managed to dodge it in the last second, which made a hole in the roof and Natsu landed on the ground. Natsu panted which made Jellal smirk to see Natsu having trouble with him.
"Yo Natsu, he is tougher than we thought. You will be needing my power if you wanna finish him." Nayoru said in his head. "Don't be stupid, I don't wanna waste any Magic, as I will make sure it will be like last time." Natsu mentally said to Nayoru.
"It is quite ironic to see you prevent me from resurrecting Zeref." Jellal said, confusing Natsu. "Huh, what are you talking about." Natsu said. "I have been watching you for a while, Void Knight. The Lullaby Incident, the Deliora Job and even the Phantom Lord War. Also, that you brought Ur, the Legendary Ice Molding Mage back to life!" Jellal said, making Natsu and Erza´s eyes widened. "Which is other words, are similar, as we both are men who bring people back from the past. We are no different." Jellal said.
"You´re wrong." Natsu said with shadowed eyes. "What?" Jellal said.
"Ur never was dead in the first place. She had turned into ice to protects the ones she loved. This is different. You only bring back dust from the fire that burned down the woods, and instead of planting new trees, you are trying to build up the burned ones. You will never find what you want if you don't grow new ones!" Natsu said as he looked at Jellal with seriousness.
Ur, along with the others on the boat, were looking at the Tower.
Jellal gave a smirk. "I am impressed by your speech, and also to see you have gotten so far, Void Knight, but whatever you do, you are reaching your limit." Jellal said as he placed his hands on top of each other, with the index and middle fingers spread out.
"Don't worry, you will soon not have to deal with me anymore, as you will feel the power of an actual meteor!" Jellal said, forming a constellation. Seven Magic Circles appeared in the air as they were struck down towards the ground.
Natsu dodged them as the beams of light rained down from the sky, which caused enormous impacts craters on the ground, which sent Natsu away, forcing him to stab the ground to keep on the ground. Natsu saw Erza being blown away, making him panic.
"ERZA!" Natsu screamed as he then dashed towards her to save the Redheaded Mage from falling off the Tower, which Natsu took her and held her in bridal style. He then gently put Erza down on the ground.
"You okay, Erza?" Natsu asked. "Yeah, I am fine, you shouldn't have done that." Erza said. "Bullshit, you are my Mate, and I would never move on if you or any of my other Mates, died." Natsu said, making Erza smile.
"I am grateful for you, Void Knight, because you saved the sacrifice I need to bring Zeref back. But you are really taking the time as well." Jellal said, as then Natsu and Erza turned to face him.
"Don't worry, because I will soon be finished with you two, as you will regret ever standing against me!" Jellal said and crossed his hands above his head. Shadows from nearby then started to gather around, which then formed a small black sphere. The sphere quickly grew in size, and gained also small white lights inside of it, which was similar like the night sky.
"Altairis!" Jellal said as he then sent the black sphere Natsu and Erza. "God dammit, that darkness in the orb Jellal shot is impossible for me to eat, since the Magic Power of it too strong, and even impossible for me to eat, since it is a Gravity Spell!" Natsu thought he felt the nature of the attack.
Suddenly, Erza was in front of Natsu, stretching out her arms. "Erza, what are you doing?! Move!" Natsu screamed. "I won´t." Erza said. "Huh? What are you talking about?!" Natsu said. "You have protected me enough, from time to time, as I shamelessly stand there and do nothing. But not this time. I will stand and make sure no one ever dies again!" Erza said with determination as the black sphere came closer.
"I will not allow it to happen!" Erza said, making Jellal laugh. "Such strong words coming from a fool, as they are meaningless, no matter what you say!" Jellal mocked.
Erza simply responded by standing still as she determinedly prepared for the strike. "I will not allow you to have Natsu killed, EVER!" Erza said. "ERZA, MOVE!" Natsu screamed, as his words fell deaf on Erza´s ears.
And then the Sphere finally hit, an explosion of smoke that shook the Tower of Heaven, from the top to the ground. The smoke spread around, with Natsu had his arms to cover his face. "ERZA!" Natsu screamed, but then silenced once he saw what he couldn't believe.
Blood fell down the ground, painting the blue floor red.
"Why...?" Natsu said and his voice became cold as winter itself as he paled. "Why did you do it...?" Natsu said, as he then was interrupted by a voice. "SIMON!" Erza screamed as he she saw her childhood friend having his arms stretched out.
Blood was coming from mouth as Simon was covered with scars from the attack Jellal sent, as even some ribs where showing.
Simon fell down back first as he coughed up blood, with Erza and Natsu coming to his side. "Simon! Stay in there!" Erza said as Simon coughed blood again, but then looked at Erza with a smile with blood coming out of the smile. "You are okay... Erza..." Simon said. "Don't be a fool! You need to be taken care of!" Erza said, desperately trying to tend his wounds, which Simon then stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"Erza... you shouldn't worry... not worry at all." Simon said, as he coughed blood again. "I am at my last moments Erza... I am seeing this as a punishment for not doing anything... not even going back to see when I was working with Jellal... God I was such a fool..." Simon said with a weak smile. "Simon..." Erza said with teared eyes as Natsu´s eyes were shadowed, as Jellal's smirk grew in amusement.
"Your touch... is gentle..." Simon said, as he felt the softness of the redheaded knight´s hand, warmer than any fire, softer than any pillow and gentle as a mother with holding her child, ready to enter a new world, but with his own hand leaving life.
"So gentle... Your hand is..." Simon said as he saw Erza, the girl he met years ago in the Tower they were standing in now. "Like you... you were... you were always so gentle... so gentle... I loved you..." Simon said with a smile, which then he left the World as he died.
He fell out of Erza´s arms, who was silent. Silent and stood still as a statue, as if time itself had died. But it hadn't, because someone else had died. Her childhood friend, Simon, was now dead. Simon, who she knew since childhood, was now dead.
On her cheeks, tears rolled down. It became more and more, as Erza then broke down, she he couldn't stop. Simon was dead, which she couldn't believe was real.
She cried as she threw her head on Simon's chest, crying more than she ever had in her life, and Jellal then started to laugh.
"What a fool Simon was! To think a mere minion of mine would sacrifice himself, for someone who doesn't give a damn about him! Instead of living a life of power and superiority, he instead chose to die by protecting a mere woman who works only as a sacrifice?! What a fool he truly was!" Jellal laughed as he laughed.
"You´re wrong." Natsu said, as Jellal stop laughed and Erza then raised her head to look at Natsu with teary eyes.
The Mate Mark made Natsu feel his Mate, Erza´s sorrow, pain suffering and despair. It was something Natsu couldn't have ignored, no matter the cost. The feelings made Natsu´s world blacker than any night sky and colder than any winter. It was unbearable, completely and totally unbearable.
Natsu now having an aura of red and black, as he glowed red while black energy came from his body. He shook with anger, as he couldn't handle the sorrow he felt from his Mate.
"Simon wasn't a fool, and his sacrifice wasn't in vain. He protected something both dear to me and everyone else. Unlike your pathetic, stupid sacrifice, who will give you nothing, his sacrifice will never be forgotten." Natsu said, cold as ice.
Jellal responded by gritting his teeth. "SILENCE! WHAT DOES A LOWLIFE LIKE YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE FOOL´S SACRIFICE COULD DO!" Jellal roared and prepared to send a blast of Heavenly Body Magic, but before he could do so, Natsu appeared at great speed and punched him in the stomach, sending him to the wall.
"IT´S BECAUSE OF YOU MY MATE, ERZA, IS CRYING! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS!" Natsu screamed at the top of lungs while Jellal got up from the rubble.
Jellal coughed as he felt great pain his stomach, which he felt some of ribs broken and some organs wrecked.
"You've gotten stronger by rage, but rage alone won't be enough to finish me!" Jellal said. "You´re right. Rage won't solely be enough to finish you. I will need Erza´s feelings and love to defeat you, as a reminder of why I will defeat you!" Natsu said.
"Nayoru!"Natsu communicated inside his head. "Yeah Boss?" Nayoru answered in his head. "I will need your Full Power. I wanna defeat this guy for making Erza cry, at any cost." Natsu mentally said. "You´re the Boss, so I can't argue." Nayoru said mentally to Natsu, who then smiled.
And before any words could be said more, the aura around Natsu became bigger as it raised in the shape of a pillar, which were tall as a tree and red as bloods, with black smoke twirling around like crows around a tree.
"What is this Magic Power?! It is unimaginable, as I never felt something like this before!" Jellal thought as he felt the Magic coming from Natsu.
Erza was still as she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Is Natsu transforming into another Take Over: Satan Soul? No, it´s nature feels different, and I don't sense anything coming from another soul, since Take Overs are based on taking over abilities and powers from other Souls." Erza thought as she witnessed the red pillar of Magic Power. "As if... it was Natsu´s original form to begin with." Erza thought as her eyes widened by these thoughts.
The pillar then exploded in a flash of crimson light, as it forced Erza and Jellal to cover their eyes until it then died to reaveal smoke around Natsu.
"Natsu...?" Erza said as she looked into the smoke after her Guild mate. "What is going on...?" Jellal said to himself. "Don't worry Erza." Natsu said as then the smoke died down, showing his new form. Jellal and Erza were shocked at the sight they were seeing.
"Because I will finish this as soon as possible." Natsu said in his new form. His eyes were red, as it had black pupils in the shape of lightning bolts, and his hair had now gotten longer, reach to his neck, and was white as well. His arms, legs, lower stomachs and pectorals were now covered in black markings, while the rest of his skin which weren't covered in black scales where white as paper, his feet were now similar to a falcon´s talons, his hands were now claws, similar to his feet, but sharper, on his chest were an upside-down Y, with a circle in the middle of it, his throat, cheeks and chin were black as well. But the most noticeable change about his appearance where the wings, each big as a flag, black as the night sky, with the tips of the feather in crimson.
"Well it seems it has been changed since the last time I used it." Natsu said mentally to Nayoru. "Well, you are gonna be experiencing some "upgrades", sorry to bother you about that, but don't worry, it won't happen so often." Said Nayoru. "Whatever, I am gonna finish this asshole for making my Mate cry before I run out of power." Natsu said as he started gathered darkness in right hand, which were in the shape of a black orb with red lining, as it was covered with spikes and emitting a red aura.
"Bring it on, this battle will end here." Natsu said, cold as ice which he then charged with his attack towards Jellal. "Orb of Annihilation!" Natsu said as he charged the orb, which turned into a beam of darkness with spikes covering it.
Jellal then made a shield of golden energy which he thought would protect him, which instead broke through it like nothing as it then hit Jellal.
It causes Jellal great pain and damage, more than before, which caused an explosion that reached outside of the Tower, which could be seen from miles, mostly by Millianna, Yukino, Wally, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Juvia, Ur and Sho.
Jellal fell on the ground, which before he could react, Natsu was in front of him, which he created orbs of darkness in front of his wings.
"Orbs of Void!" Natsu said as he then turned them into beams of darkness, forcing Jellal to move as they caused a massive explosion on the floor.
"Damn you, Meteor Shower!" Jellal punched the air, sending beams of light at Natsu, who shielded the attack with his wings, then opened the wings and flied in the air, which he waved his hand in front of him, creating a line of swords.
"Swords of Night!" Natsu said and then sent the swords at Jellal, who dodged it with his Meteor, causing an explosion which shook the room.
"They may be smaller than before, but they seem to have gotten more potent into explosive power." Natsu thought. Jellal was in the air which he then sent his next attack.
"Corona Australis!" Jellal sent the dark colored globe at Natsu who simply dodged by flying aside, causing it to hit a Lacrima Pillar, erasing it from existence. Natsu then flew towards Jellal, as he then crossed his arms in a X-pattern, which then got covered in darkness.
"Rain of Blackness!" Natsu waved the hands, sending arrows of darkness at Jellal, which caused small explosions on the floor, together causing a large amount of damage. Jellal used his Meteor to dodge them, but then was hit by one, causing a small explosion, which then more arrows hit Jellal, making him covered with small explosion.
Natsu watched as the small explosion caused a field of smoke, which before a minute went on, Jellal appeared with marks on his body, with a golden orb with rings outside and a smaller red orb before his hands.
"Asteroid!" Jellal said and then sent his attack towards Natsu at incredible speed, as it hit Natsu.
It caused Natsu significant damage, giving him large wounds, which was regenerated in seconds. Natsu then raised his foot in the air, coated into darkness and kicked Jellal in the head, sending him to the ground.
Jellal coughed up blood, saw Natsu coming towards him with a fist in darkness, which made Jellal move and when Natsu´s fist struck the floor, it shattered due to the impact. Jellal then summoned dust and pebbles in front of him.
"Planetary Disc!" Jellal said and sent beams of light at Natsu, who swatted the beams away with his wings. Natsu had his hands in a clapping motion, which then a triangle of darkness gathered around of him, each point having a darkness sphere on.
"Triangle of the Abyss!" Natsu sent three darkness beams at Jellal. "Tian Mao!" Jellal said as he then sent a spear of light at the three darkness beams, which obliterated the spear, coming straight towards Jellal. It caused an explosion which sent a bruised and bloodied Jellal on the ground.
Jellal got up as he felt terrible, which Natsu then appeared in front Jellal, headbutting him, and then kicked in the chin, sending him into the air.
Before Natsu could attack further, Jellal created a Magic Circle which Erza recognized.
"Abyss Break?! You are gonna cast it here?!" Erza shouted with terror. "Even if the Tower is destroyed, I can always create a new one, even in a shorter amount of years, as long as I have my sacrifice, which is you, Erza Scarlet!" Jellal said as he prepared to send the Abyss Break Spell, but before he could send it, Natsu flew towards at great speed and had his hands coated in darkness, creating a skull of darkness with red eyes.
"Skull of the Night!" Natsu said as a beam of darkness came from the skulls mouth, which then went towards Jellal´s Abyss Break Spell, breaking it and striking Jellal.
Jellal was then sent to the ground with a crash, which the Blue Haired man got up as he gathered golden energy around himself in an aura, which was larger than before.
"You have tested the last of my patience, Void Knight, and for that, you will now witness the true Power of Heavenly Body Magic!" Jellal said in rage and then he was engulfed with a bright, eerie red Magic Power which then started to take form.
It grew in size, until it was around fifty feet in height, as it gained a humanoid appearance.
"True Heavenly Body Magic: Red Giant!" Jellal said as he was inside the Red Giant. "The Spell allows me to have strength, durability, stamina and more of a giant! As well my Spells have increased tenfold!" Jellal boasted.
Natsu responded by flying towards Jellal, as he was covered in an aura of darkness. "Even if you have the strength of a God, I shall finish you!" Natsu said. Jellal raised his hand in the air, which the red hand of the Red Giant did the same, before he struck it down on Natsu. "Underestimating me is the greatest sin you can think of!" Jellal said and smashed his hand on Natsu, sending him to the ground.
Natsu coughed blood on the impact, as Jellal then raised his Red Giant fist and punched Natsu who was still on the ground, causing great damage and pain to Natsu, as Jellal gave a punch from another one with his giant fists, and then started to punched rapidly, which was in a storm of fists.
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Jellal said while punching repeatedly, while Erza looked in horror. Jellal then stopped punching rapid motion, and then raised his giant hand which his Red Giant hand followed. "Die, Void Knight!" Jellal said, which Natsu managed to move in the last second, which Jellal then managed to crack the ground to pieces.
Natsu flew in the air as he then charged a circle of black orbs of darkness around himself. "Orbs of Void: Circle of Nothing!" Natsu sent the orbs in the forms of beams, which Jellal blocked with his arms, causing an explosion, which Jellal then sent a kick in the air, which the right leg of the Red Giant followed towards Natsu. The Pink Haired Dragon Slayer used his wings to block the attack, which then sent Natsu to the ground as he was kicked by the leg of Jellal´s Red Giant.
Natsu left a trail of as he landed in the ground, which he eventually crashed into a pillar, which broke into pieces and Natsu fell in a deep hole. He quickly got up, panting and bleeding at the same time. He looked around to see himself in a hole of the Lacrima Floor.
"Boss, he is tougher than we thought. Before we knew it, he will take us down in no time." Nayoru communicated with Natsu mentally. "I agree with you. At this rate, I won't be able to handle this guy." Natsu said as he then noticed his Katana started to started to give an aura of a black light with red lining. "What is going on with the sword?"Natsu said mentally to Nayoru. "Oh, sorry bro, I forgot but since you acquired the sword and has started to use it more, it will become and more powerful the longer time you use it. But I warn you, it will be unstable and difficult in the first times it happens, but you will be able to control it better in the future." Nayoru said in Natsu´s mind, which Natsu grinned as he raised the sword in the air.
"Thanks, Nayoru, and I think this will be enough to handle Jellal!" Natsu thought while grinning and holding the Black Katana in the air.
At the same time, Jellal, still in Red Giant Form, walked closer to where Natsu had been sent to. Suddenly, a pillar of darkness came from the hole Natsu went through, forcing Jellal back.
"What the Hell is going on?!" Jellal said as he blocked his face with his arms, which the Red Giant did the same.
In the pillar of darkness, Natsu was floating inside it, has he held the Kuroryuken sword in left hand, as it now had thorns on the handle, with a black rose on the center of it and the black blade was now has small teeth resembling from a saw.
Before Jellal could do anything Natsu then flew at blinding speed and slashed Jellal in the chest, before he kicked him back, sending him back further.
"What is this immense boost of power?!" Jellal said as he then saw Natsu charging his darkness into the blade of the Kuroryuken.
"Jellal, this shall be the end, as I will make sure you are ready to be punished for your sin." Natsu said with shadowed eyes, which he then looked at Jellal with ice cold eyes.
"Hurting a Mate´s feelings." Natsu said coldly. Jellal grit his teeth in rage. "SILENCE! THE ONLY ONE COMMINTING A SIN HERE IS YOU TRYING TO PREVENT ME FROM DOING MY DESTINY!" Jellal screamed and then held his hands in an x formation, which he then gathered red energy in the Red Giant´s hands, which followed Jellal´s pattern.
Natsu simply responded by raising his darkness coated sword in the air. Natsu had an aura of darkness, while Jellal had an aura of gold.
"Red Giant: Golden Collision!" Jellal then sent a wave of light by releasing his hands from the x formation, which was big enough to destroy a town square.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Eclipse Judgement!" Natsu sent a massive wave of darkness at Jellal´s attack, which the attacks of incredible power clashed each other.
Lights of black and gold where flashed in the room, which forced Erza to cover her eyes. Black and golden lights were able to be seen from the top of the tower, as it could be seen from miles, mostly from the people on the boat.
"What is going on?!" Yukino said as she looked at the flashes from the Tower with the rest of the boat. "Whatever it is, is it the decision of the Battle of Tragedy." Ur said.
Back at the Tower, Natsu´s and Jellal´s attack clashed towards each other, which flashed into each other. And then suddenly, the attack of Natsu broke through Jellal´s attack. "Impossible..." Jellal said with horror, as the attack then went straight towards Jellal, which hit him dead on.
Jellal´s Red Giant went to pieces, as Jellal was then send out of the room, in a explosion, which Jellal fell down the ocean, unconscious as his eyes where blank white.
Smoke gathered the room as Natsu landed on the ground, exhausted as he reverted to his normal form. He panted like crazy while he bled crazily, which Erza quickly went to his side. She looked at her mate, who then gave a grin, a grin she would never forget of the man, who finally freed her from her tragic past of pain and suffering. Erza gave tears, not tears of sorrow, misery, pain and sorrow. But of happiness, relief and joy.
Erza was finally awakened from her nightmare, the Tower of Heaven and Jellal.
End of chapter 21. And that´s it for this one people, I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry if this chapter was shorter, I tried to make it long as possible. I would like to thank altajir95 for his Heavenly Body Spells for Jellal, which I am grateful of, which is Red Giant, Planetary Discs, Corona Australis and more. I also added a moment for Ur, which I hope you didn't mind. :)
I bet you are a bit pissed due to that one of the Key Plot points in the series was that Natsu didn't use achieve his Dragon Force, but instead used his END-powers. If you are bothered, I am sorry. But don't worry, Natsu will achieve his Dragon Force another time in the story, which I won´t tell. As for the translantions for the attacks, which you saw for Jellal, I wont always do that, so don't worry. I am hoping you all enjoyed, and if you do, please review, favorite and follow, that would be awesome! :)
Next chapter will be the final chapter of the Tower of Heaven arc and will contain a lemon in it, so you are warned, and will start the Battle of Fairy Tail Arc. Also, please don't forget to vote on my poll which will be closed in 30th November. See you later!
