Hello everyone, here is the next chapter. I hope you will enjoy this one. This chapter will show the result of the Brain Poll I had up earlier. The fights will be concluded, and the next chapter will end the Nirvana Arc. In case you forgot, Ichiya won't be playing a big role here.
The reason I updated today is because it´s my dear friend altajir95´s birthday, and today is the last episode of the Fairy Tail anime which I have seen.
The final episode was very good, despite it´s flaws. It did show some emotions, laughs and some excitement here and there, and I do hope 100 Years Quest be animated at least next year. :)
Speaking of which, happy birthday altajir95, I am giving you this chapter as a birthday gift for you, as I hope you will enjoy this, and I know you will. I have been working on this for a long time alongside you, and I do hope this will come out as the result of what we hoped to be.
Before we go on, I am gonna answer some reviews here:
: Glad you want this story continuing, but I am sorry, I won't add Sorano to the harem of this story. I have already have some plans for her in the future.
Sumitdahal123: I am sorry to say this, but I will continuing to add villain OCs in the story, because for me and others, it makes the story more interesting and intense, as well I have great plans for the future.
Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail. I don't own a thing.

Nirvana Arc Part 9: Fight to the Climax.
As the group prepared to depart to each of the Crystals of the Nirvana, but were in panic filled thoughts of Jellal who had disappeared.
"Dammit, to think that Jellal would..." Erza said through gritted teeth, but Natsu put his hand on her shoulder.
"Erza, Jellal must had a reason. And I will make sure to have come to his senses." Natsu said. Even though Natsu was angry seconds earlier due to Jellal suddenly disappearing, he hoped his and Erza´s words weren't in vain, and that Jellal would betray them.
Natsu then started to sniff in the air, gaining Jellal´s scent.
"I can smell him. Me and Happy will go after him!" Natsu said, before he and Happy dashed towards where Natsu smelt Jellal from.
"Natsu, wait!" Lucy shouted, making Natsu and Happy stop on their tracks. "Dot worry, we will be fine, and don't forget that you need to take care of the other crystals as well!" Natsu said.
"He´s right. But remember we need to take all of the crystals at the same time, or otherwise our friends sacrifice will be in vain." Erza said in seriousness.
Natsu grinned, before then looking at Ur, who had a concerned and serious expression on her face.
"Alright, let's split up. Remember we have a time limit at 30 minutes." Gray said, which the others agreed, before they wasted any seconds, they began to split up.
As Ur was to go as well, Natsu put his hand in front of her, stopping her from running and gaining her attention as well, including the others.
"Natsu?" Gray asked, as he and the others saw Natsu´s action.
"I need some words with Ur. Don't worry, this won't take long." Natsu said. "Are you...?!" Gray said, but Erza stopped him. "Ok. But do not take too much time." Erza said in serious words, before she ran off. The others saw no choice as well, before taking Lucy, Yukino, Carla and Wendy went on their destinations, the Crystals.
Gray stood still, before he scoffed and then left the scene as he ran.
"Happy, can you leave us for a moment?" Natsu said, as the Blue Cat nodded and then flied away to leave them alone.
"Natsu, what is it? You know we don't have much time before Nirvana is..." Ur said, but then suddenly Natsu placed his hand on Ur´s shoulder.
"Something happened, didn't it." Natsu said, making Ur silent by his words. She looked down as her eyes were shadowed, as she then began shaking, much to Natsu´s concern.
Ur then moved her hands to grab Natsu´s arms, before she then began to speak.
"Natsu, that man, Brain... I had meet him before, even fighting him." Ur said, grabbing Natsu´s arms tighter.
Natsu listened to every words uttered from Ur.
"Remember when I told you about that due to a disease my daughter Ultear had, to a facility, where I believed that they would be able to cure her." Ur said, her voice becoming unstable.
"I were later informed that Ultear had died, which left me on a unbeliable state of depression and sadness. I know for myself I needed to move on, but it was something I would never, cannot and will not forget in my life." Ur said, before she then looked into Natsu´s eyes.
"But then, you told me that Ultear was alive, which made me happier than I ever felt in my life. That happiness was something I never knew I would feel in my life." Ur said, before then voice deepened in seriousness again, once a bit relief was first hinted.
"That man I fought, Brain, was the cause of it all." Ur said, as Natsu´s eyes widened in shock, her words were something he would have not to thought he would her today.
"For years, that man had experimented and tortured on Ultear, lying that he "cured" and "fixed" her. I never even thought she was suffering more than before. All because I wanted her to be saved, and what did I do?! I failed her! All because of my foolishness...!" Ur said, as tears where started to come from her eyes, hitting the ground.
But before Ur was able to continue, Natsu went and hugged her. As if before, when Ur told her of her past of Kanzaki and her lost daughter Ultear, and like that time, Ur felt her horror and sadness disappear.
"It´s going to be hard to lose something you hold close." Natsu said, and then images of Yoruyama and Lisanna came in front of his mind.
A silent was stunned, and then began to smile a bit, giving back the hug to Natsu.
"Ur, are you prepared to face him?" Natsu asked, which Ur then calmy opened her eyes.
"I am prepared. This is something I must do for myself. If I don't, then I will regret it forever. I won't do this for revenge, but for my daughter, Ultear." Ur said.
Natsu smiled, and then they let go of each other, as Natsu saw Ur´s smile, and with determination this time.
"Alright. Then we better not waste anymore time here." Ur said. "Yeah, let's go." Natsu said, before they then gave each other's a quick kiss on their lips, before then parting ways and towards the Crystals, in order to stop Nirvana and Zero.
"Here I come. Don't think I will allow you to have you escape with this, Zero!" Ur thought while running towards where Zero was.
Meanwhile...
Roubaul and he Cait Shelter members gathered around him, could only watched in horror while Roubaul had a calm, but also serious look as he was only watched and accept of whaterever would come.
Zero simply stood as he watched the horizon, and with the Cait Shelter Guild coming in sight.
"Well, this is truly something incredible! But does that mean that once Cait Shelter is gone, we don't need to worry about Nirvana being sealed once again?" Klodoa asked. "Once it´s gone, it will be meaningless for it be sealed again or not, as nothing will stop my plans for now." Zero said, before then pointing his hand at Klodoa, and sent a blast of green darkness at the Staff, turning it to nothing.
"I will fire Nirvana, and end everything here, once and for all, no matter what!" Zero said darkly.
At the same time, members of the Light Alliance have each reached to their destinations, as one by one, they reached the Crystals.
At Crystal 6, Erza arrived in the room, as she then changed into her Heaven´s Wheel Armor.
At Crystal 4, Yukino and Lucy arrived, before then immedaitly summoned their Spirits, as Taurus and Pisces stood by their Master´s side.
Back at Crystal 3, Wendy and Carla was there, prepared to strike.
Gray stood prepared, his Ice Magic charging in his hands as he was in Crystal 2. Gray was determined, along the rest of his allies, to Bring an end to Nirvana once and for all.
At the same time, with Rilfex, who was in Crystal 5, standing in front of the large Lacrima in front of him. He was patiently waiting for his opponent, who he knew would come any time soon.
"I hope we aren't late, because i am gonna need to take down Nirvana." A sudden voice said, making Rilfex turn around to see Natsu and Happy entering the room.
Rilfex sighed as he watched Natsu, alongside with Happy, walked towards Rilfex, as the Fire Devil Slayer himself stood still.
"But it seems you are preventing me from doing it." Natsu said. "And I bet it won't be any meaning for me to tell why I am doing this?" Rilfex asked. "Does it matter right now? Do you think your words will make sure to stop me?" Natsu said, taking out his Kuroryuken sword.
Rilfex slowly shook in rage, and gripped his fist, memories from his previous encounter with Natsu came to his mind. Natsu noticed it, but had still his serious face on. "Happy, stay close. We better be on our guard." Natsu said. "Shall we fight or not? Because I am not gonna wait any longer for your demise, Dragon Slayer." Rilfex said, and then charged his blue flames, as the flames were swirling around him.
Natsu simply grinned, as Black smoke were summoned around him. "Alright then. It´s time to taste the Dark!" Natsu said in a determined voice.
The rematch between a Dragon and Devil began!
Meanwhile, on Crystal 1...
Zero stood in front the Lacrima, expression sinister and evil as ever once the Cait Shelter, the descenants of Nilfits, were no more.
"Soon, very soon. I will finally achieve my goal I have been my entire life for!" Zero said in a sinister tone.

"As if a goal like that would be any good." Ur said, as she entered the room. Zero calmly then turned to see Ur coming in, as her aura of Ice Magic were glowing white and raised high to the roofs, like a tower.
Zero only smirked in amusement as he watched Ur coming towards him. "I didn't expect you to come. I thought I finished you back then for sure." Zero said, remembering their earlier encounter.
Ur´s expression hadnt changed, and she still kept wlaking towards Zero. "Earlier, I made a mistake." Ur said, eyes shadowed. Zero raised his eyebrow, but his smile was ever present on his face.
"The mistake of facing me?" Zero asked. "No, but the mistake of taking it easy on you, that was the first mistake. The second mistake, was that I didn't recognize the man I left my daughter Ultear with you. And my third and biggest mistake, that I left Ultear with you, and I wasn't there when my daughter needed me the most!" Ur said, her eyes filled with stern rage, before then stopping, her Magic Power raising higher than ever.
"It seems words are useless to talking you now. It´s a shame, but I can now see why Ultear had so much potenial in her." Zero said in a mocking tone.
"You have no right to speak of my daughter's name!" Ur said, before then she pulled back her arms and created a sword of ice, before then charging towards Zero.

(Play Bleach ost Encirclement Battle here)
Ur went and slashed Zero with her ice sword, which Zero created a wall of darkness of block it. Ur was prepared for it, as she then created seven, large, spear-like arrows behind, and then sent them up in the air.
As the Ice Arrows were flow through the air, they then fell down towards Zero. But Zero had already noticed them, as the white-haired man jumped quickly away to dodge them.
Upon impact, the tall, large spikes of ice were erupted from the ground where the Ice Arrows had struck.
Ur wasted no time, as she then created a pair of ice cannon, sending powerful blasts of ice, which went straight at Zero at incredible speed.
Zero simply sent a large, blast of energy to counter it, as an explosion of darkness and ice were erupted, which then shards of ice and pieces of darkness, where sent everywhere.
Ur stared intenselty with determination and rage at Zero, who were calm as before, and then they charged at each other, as Zero´s hands were in spheres of darkness, while Ur made several ice swords around her.
"What's the matter?! I thought you were going stop me, and make me pay?!" Zero said.
"If you think I am going easy on you, then you completely wrong!" Ur said. The two Mages clashed as their battle was raging on, their Magics clashing each other with every strike.
Ur was able to block and dodge every strike from Zero, as either of them gave each other as change to strike each other.
Ur then created a large sword of Ice, before then trying to strike Zero with it, but the man managed to easily dodge it.
Zero then wasted no time in preparing his next attack, as he then sent a powerful blast of Darkness at Ur. Ur was fast, but she barely dodged it as Zero then kicked her to the ground, as she then felt down the ground in a crash.
Before Ur then could go up, Zero then sent several, purple-colored, tentacle-like vines at Ur.
"Death Ensnare!" Zero said, as the vines went towards the purple-haired woman, but Ur then created a dome of ice protect herself from it.
Then sent a large blast of dark energy at Ur, which shattered the ice dome once it touched it.
Ur crossed her arms, before then Zero prepared his next attack. But Ur then used his Ice Molding Magic to create eight foxes of ice, each with spiky fur and red eyes.
"Ice-Make: Fox!" Ur said, as the foxes went towards to assault Zero, which didn't fade him one bit as with one swipe of his arms, easily whiped them out.
Ur then summoned a trident, large enough to impale an elephant, it´s tip shaped like seashells, and had a ending similar to arrow tip.
"Ice-Make: Trident!" Ur said, sending the trident at Zero, who blocked it with a shield of darkness. "Useless! Whatever you throw at me, you will never even lay a strike on me." Zero taunted.
"As if I would listen to you!" Ur said, preparing another weapon ice.
The battle was of full intense!
Back with Natsu and Rilfex...
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Crescent Blade!" Natsu said, sending a blast of darkness at Rilfex, who countered it with a fist of blue flames.
Before he wasted any seconds, he then sent a vortex of blue flames tendrils in a twisting motion towards Natsu.
"Fire Devil´s Infernal Ring!" Rilfex said, which then Natsu used his Dark-Make Magic to form a shield around himself, before Happy, took hold of him and then flied him to the air.
Natsu created a cannon with his Dark-Make, sending a cannonball, which Rilfex created a sphere of flames around himself, which then causing an explosion, which shook the room.
Happy flied with Natsu, who then gathered dark smoke in his sword and before then sending powerful blasts of darkness at the purple-haired Devil Slayer.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Black Storm!" Natsu said, the dark slashes went towards Rilfex, who then held his both index and middle fingers, and then started to shoot rapidly from them like a machine gun.
"Fire Devil´s Rapid Hell!" Rilfex said, sending big, powerful bullets of blue flames at great speed, as it struck the slashes, cut them in half and turned them to nothing.
Rilfex then had his hand raised to the air, covering it in blue flames and before then slamming it on the ground.
"Fire Devil´s Mighty Eruption!" Rilfex said, as a torrent of powerful blasts of blue flames, where sent every direction like meteorites.
Happy and Natsu tried to avoid the blasts, but Riflex gave them no change before then clasping his hands in a praying formation.
"Fire Devil´s Madness Blaze!" Rilfex said, as then tentacles of blue flames where then erupted and went straight towards Natsu and Happy.
Natsu grit his teeth as the fire tentacles went towards them, as he then took a deep breath and unlfeashed a powerful torrent of darkness at them.
"Abyss Dragon´s Roar!" Natsu said, as the darkness disintegrated the fire tentacles, but then Rilfex has jumped onto them, as he prepared to strike them.
Natsu then wasted no time and then slashed his sword at him, sending a black energy wave him, which then struck him and then sent him to the wall!
Crashing down, Rilfex quickly got up, with minor injuries.
"What´s the matter?! I thought you were gonna take me down, like you did before!" Rilfex taunted.
Natsu and Happy simply landed on the ground, and Natsu hadn't lost his sight and focus in him.
Intensely, both Natsu and Rilfex started into each other, like beasts fighting for survival.
Rilfex then jumped towards Natsu at great and incredible speed, preparing his next strike, while Natsu had his blade charged in darkness. "Happy, grab onto me!" Natsu said, which the blue cat did, as he then grabbed the pink-haired Dragon Slayer, which then Natsu and Rilfex clashed, resulting in another explosion of their Magics, darkness and flames going everywhere.
Strike after strike, their attacks were either countered or blocked by each others, as Natsu both used his sword to try slash him, while Rilfex sent punch after punch towards Natsu.
Natsu then prepared to do a headbutt, but Rilfex saw through it, then punched him in the stomach, and before he was able to react, he then sent another kick, this time to the face!
The impact and force of the second kick, sent Natsu and Happy straight to a wall, which were shattered once struck.
Rilfex wasted no time as he then had his index, middle, ring and pinky fingers turned upwards, while the thumb was inward, before then blue flames where gathered and formed a large, single bladed sword.
"Fire Devil´s Execution Slicer!" Rilfex said, as the blade of blue flames were then sent at Natsu and Happy.
Before it was able to strike them, Natsu used his Dark-Make, to create a large shield of darkness. The flames struck the shield, before eventually started to come through it. But Natsu didn't let it happen, Natsu then stabbed his darkness-coated bladed into his shield, which then broke and then sent a powerful blast of darkness, dissipating the flames as well.
Rilfex was able to dodge it just in time, by jumping into the air and then created several blue spheres of flames in front of him, sending them towards Natsu in the shape of blasts.
"Fire Devil´s Storm Blaze!" Rilfex said, the blasts went towards Natsu and Happy.
Natsu then swiped his sword, sending a wave of darkness towards the blasts, but it didn't strike all of them, as some managed to strike Natsu, as the pink-haired Dragon Slayer made sure to have the blasts not strike Happy, much to the blue cat´s horror.
"NATSU! HANG IN THERE!" Happy screamed, but Natsu simply gave off a small grin. "Do not worry Happy, as if this will take me down." Natsu said, but then, Rilfex appeared in front of Natsu and Happy at great speed.
"But then what about this?" Rilfex said, before then punching Natsu, sending both him and Happy towards the ground, which then a loud crash was erupted.
Rilfex went down and landed on the ground. "Oi, don't tell this is over? Cause I am not done with you yet, Void Knight!" Rilfex said, while walking towards the crater that was made by the impact. But then, a large explosion erupted, as Natsu came up, with Happy on his shoulder.
"Not even close. I'm just getting started." Natsu said.
Back with Ur vs Zero...
(Play Bleach ost Power to Strive here)
Ur used her Ice-Make to create a shield to block the darkness blast Zero sent at her.
"Useless, useless, useless!" Zero taunted, before then continuing to send his assaults at Ur, before then Ur, created several ice missiles behind her, which were sent to the air, and then down towards Zero.
But he saw through them, before then created nine swords of darkness behind himself, sending them to the air.
"Acheron Judgement!" Zero said, as the nine swords went towards the missiles, obliterating them upon impact. Ur weren't surprised one bit, and then created swords of ice, before she then rushed towards Zero.
Zero simply grinned and then sent another barrage of his nine swords at Ur, which she managed to counter with her swords.
Zero then created a large serpent of darkness with red eyes, that went straight towards Ur.
"Dark Serpent!" Zero said as the large snake went to assault Ur, but she managed to strike it with her ice swords, freezing it and then disintegrating it.
Zero wasted no time to then send another attack.
"Leon Necro!" Zero said, as the gigantic, feline beast of darkness went and assaulted Ur, she then created several spikes of ice around her to impale it.
The Darkness Lion were then turned to ice within seconds, before it was then shattered to thousands of pieces.
But then, Zero had his hand raised to the air, as then darkness were gathered and formed into a large ball of darkness, which then began taking shape.
The Darkness began to take the shape of a gigantic skull. It had multiple red, glowing eyes, spikes on the top of its head and several tentacles around it.
"Skull of Death!" Zero said, before then sending the Skull towards Ur.
It began to strike down with its tentacles, which Ur managed to dodge by jumping away, which shattered groun upon impact. Ur dodged tentacle after tentacle, before the gigantic Skull then began to charge red energy from it´s eyes and mouth.
Ur then had her eyes widened, as she then created a large, wall-like shield of ice, big enough to cover up an entire tower.
The Gigantic Darkness Skull then fired off a beam of red dark energy from its mouth and eyes, which then struck the ice wall.
Luckily, the ice wall managed to block off the attack, and then had the ice of the wall spread on the floor, which then unleashed a large blade of ice, to slice the skull in half!
The halves of the skull were disintegrating as they fell down the ground, and the ice wall slowly broke down, showing Ur, her expression not changed the slightest.
But Zero still had his amused expression on his face, as he watched with delight and with a twisted expression on his eyes.
(End Bleach Ost here)
"You are truly amazing, Ur. As well expected from the mother of the talented Ultear. It is no wonder she is your daughter." Zero said.
"I told you before, don't you ever mention her name." Ur said in rage, as she had her voice in a low tone, trying not to lose her cool and have her anger take over her.
"You are right. If she were here right now, I can already picture her annoyance, and would be very mad right now." Zero said. "Because she doesn't see you as her mother. Even if you were able to even kill me, it will not matter. Ultear´s grudge against you won't fade. Do you really want to live in a world, where your own daughter wants you dead? It would be nice for me to have it destroy for you." Zero said.
"You are wrong. I will redeem myself. I will fix this between me and Ultear. I will make sure to have for me, my family, my love, to live in a world, where we all can be happy together. And I won't let you destroy it." Ur said.
Zero had his eyes shadowed, and then sent another attack at Ur!
"Futile!" Zero shouted, their battle continuing forward on!
Back with Natsu vs Rilfex...
(Play Bleach Ost Breakthough Even here)
Natsu slashed his sword, coated in darkness and then sent a shockwave of darkness towards Rilfex.
The purple-haired man simply hade a blast that countered it, as then Natsu raised his sword in the air, once again charging it with darkness.
"Abyss Dragon Blade: Nightfall Slash!" Natsu said, before then sending a barrage of powerful slices towards Rilfex. Rilfex then charged his hand, clenched in a fist, with blue flames, before then blasting it towards the Darkness Slices.
"Fire Devil´s Hell Cannon!" Rilfex said, as the blast went towards the slices. The Blast overpowered Natsu´s attack, which then went towards Natsu and Happy.
Happy, who was holding Natsu, saw in horror and then tried to dodge it. The attack managed not to strike Happy and Natsu directly, but it managed to strike one of Happy´s wings!
Happy screamed in pain, and Natsu had his eyes widened in horror.
"Happy!" Natsu screamed in horror, before he then had the blue cat let go of him, as they then landed on the ground.
Happy felt his wing burning in pain, as Natsu saw the wings and it´s feathers turned black. Natsu clenched his fist in rage, while Rilfex still had his cold expression on.
"Oi, don't tell me that managed to break you down. I thought you had more guts than this." Rilfex coldly said.
Natsu simply faced Happy, who were panting, but now had the pain he gained calmed down.
"Get some rest buddy. You did a great job." Natsu said.
"You barely took me down with that cat´s help, yet you think you have a chance against me now?" Rilfex said. "And weren't that the tone you had before I took you down the last time." Natsu said.
(End Bleach Ost Here)
Before Rilfex even made a reaction on his face, at incredibly speed, which Natsu even were able to react, and grabbed Natsu around his throat.
(Play Bleach ost On The Principle of Defeat here)
"Do not even think for a god damn second, you have the right to even mock me!" Rilfex said in a dangerous tone.
Happy could only watch in horror as Rilfex held Natsu, who struggled to break free, but were only for Rilfex to held his hand tighter around his neck.
"Remember that time, when we first fought. The time you found that infernal sword, and before you managed to defeat, I lost my cool. But the reason I lost my cool wasn't because of denying the existence of Dragon Slaying Swords." Rilfex said.
"Now listen to me, as you said, Dragon Slaying Swords are Magical Weapons, created to enhance Dragon Slayers in combat. I already knew that, and even meet those who had them before I meet you, and your blasted cat. It wasn't the reason for me I lost my temper, but it was for some whole other reason!" Rilfex said, rage filling his voice for every sentence.
"It was because a miracle, had saved you. It is the likes of you, who contantly are relying on miracles, that makes them unable to learn and become stronger from mistakes! You only rely on your friends, who prevents you from becoming stronger, spoiling you and barely gain any experience from them! You will never learn, and eventually, one day, an enemy so powerful will make sure you will die before you can even lift a finger!" Rilfex said, before then throwing Natsu to the wall, with a crash.
"People like you only makes me want to puke..." Rilfex said, before then sending several blasts of fire at Natsu, exploding as the struck the Dragon Slayer.
"NATSU!" Happy screamed, as Natsu then came up from the wall, slowly getting on his knees. "You should surrender, if I were you. You only gain more trouble for yourself, and your friends. And since you don't gain any experience to learn from, you will die." Rilfex said.
"You are both wrong and right." Natsu said, eyes shadowed and with a grin on his face.
Rilfex raised an eyebrow. "Huh?" Rilfex said, confused. "We in Fairy Tail may are willing to help others, but only when times are needed. It´s true, when you contanstly wanting help for everything you need, you will not learn, and eventually, they won't even help you. I help when they need me, they trust and will never betray them for it. I hear them, and they hear me. I shall stand for them, and I know they will become stronger in the future, to handle enemies themselves, as they learn from when people are there for them." Natsu said.
(End Bleach Ost here)
"A nice speech, but too bad no one will be able to hear it." Rilfex said, before then trying to send another blast of flames, but then suddenly, a dark energy blast was then sent towards Natsu!
Natsu managed to dodge it in the last second, before then turning to see Jellal, in front of the entrance of the chamber the Crystal were.
"It seems I am a bit late." Jellal said with a sinister smile.
While Happy only watched in horror and confusion, Natsu couldn't help but to grip his fist tightly in rage, as he saw the man he thought had changed be in front of him.
"Jellal? Zero told me you lost your memories. Have you gotten them back?" Rilfex said, the flames on his turned off.
"That doesn't matter. The only thing I remember, is Natsu´s name." Jellal said, before then walking towards them. "I did it to save Natsu. Too bad he didn't consume the attack." Jellal said, before then Natsu rushed towards him, and punched the blue-haired man in the face.
"LIAR! That attack was merely an excuse for me to trust you! Do you think I will believe anymore lies from you?!" Natsu said. "And do you think I would let you die here? You and Ur are the last hopes of saving Cait Shelter, no the entire world. Do you think I would deny aiding you?" Jellal said.
Rilfex simply look annoyed, before then sending another fire blast at them. "Hey, if you are gonna be talking, do it in the afterlife!" Rilfex said, before then sending a blast towards Natsu and Jellal, which Happy saw immediatly
"NATSU!" Happy screamed, trying to warn them, but to no avail, as Natsu had no time to dodge. But then, Jellal stepped in front, his arms spread out as he took the blast from Rilfex.
"Jellal?!" Natsu shouted in confusion, as a smoking Jellal were slowly falling down to the ground. "I hope... this will be enough... to convince you, Natsu..." Jellal said, before then falling to the ground.
At the same time, with Ur and Zero, their fighting was intense, as they watched each other with their eyes determined.
Zero then looked up to the roof, a smile present on his face. "It seems that we are here." Zero said, making Ur horrorfied.
"Are you...?" Ur said, which Zero cut off with a laughter. "You got that right! Nirvana, has currently reached it´s goal, the Legal Guild Cait Shelter, the Descendants of the Nilfits! And not only that, Nirvana is prepared to charge!" Zero said.
"WHAT?!" A horrified Ur said, not believing what she saw.
"YES! Even though normally Nirvana wouldn't be able to fire until five more minutes, but since Rilfex gave me the Lacrima earlier on, despite its small size, it was enough for it to have it power up for Nirvana not only for it to charge faster, but have it now be able to fire at least twice in a row!" Zero said in triumph before then...
"FIRE NIRVANA!" Zero ordered. "NO!" Ur screamed, but it was too late.
On Cait Shelter Guild, Roubaul and the Guild members were gathered around, hoping that eventually their deaths would be peaceful.
"What is happening?!" Wendy said, as she and Carla were still at the chamber. "Oh no, it cannot be..." Carla said in horror.
And with that, Nirvana were firing its beam towards the Cait Shelter Guild, as all hopes seemingly were seen as lost.
But then, before anyone could even picture it, a large, flame ball, big enough to be easily mistaken for a miniature sun, and enough to even brighten up the night sky, easily making it day even for a few seconds came, and completely obliterated the Nirvana Blast!
Shock and silence were spread to Roubaul, the Cait Shelter Mages, Erza, Gray, Lucy, Yukino, Wendy, Carla, Zero, Ur, Natsu, Jellal, Rilfex and Happy.
"What is happening?" Gray said.
"Did it strike Cait Shelter?" Yukino wondered. "But yet it feels as if..." Lucy said.
"Is Cait Shelter still there?" Wendy asked. "I can feel it as well. Something must have happenened." Carla said. "If Nirvana had struck Cait Sheler, it would have given off a different reaction than we just witnessed now." Carla said.
Meanwhile, back with Natsu, Jellal, Happy and Rilfex...
"What the hell happened?" Natsu said, while Rilfex looked upwards with an annoyed look in his face. "The Lacrima I gave to Zero, should have made it faster to charge this thing. It was more of a token of trust, as once Nilfits were gone, I was gonna kill Zero and destroy Nirvana. Since the Nilvits were gone, no one could create any more of these things, to oppose Master. It must have been countered, but by what. Could it be...?" Rilfex thought, realization striking inside his mind, but quickly shook it off, in order to make those around suspect him.
At the same time, on top of a cliff, Starwalker stood there, his cloak blowing in the wind and his hands were emits smoke, after sending a powerful blast of his Fire Magic.
"That was the last of my Magic Energy for now. Please, all of you... Stop Nirvana, before it´s too late. I have done what I can now, but do not worry, we will meet again." Starwalker said, before leaving.
Back with Natsu, Jellal, Rilfex and Happy, Natsu looked down onto Jellal, as he just saw the Blue Haired Man had come to save him. "Jellal... Why...?" Natsu said. "Because... in life, I had done things. Horrible things, that could not have been possible humane... I wanted to show you, Erza, even Simon, that I have changed." Jellal said.
Jellal then took out his arm, as it then showed a small, sphere of darkness, red in color and surrounded by black smoke. "Natsu, take this. This is the Shade of Repent. Use this, and become powerful enough to take him down. I believe you can take him down." Jellal said.
Natsu looked down at the Darkness Sphere. Mental images of the events he had with Jellal came across. But that was the past, and as much Natsu hated to deny it, he would do it, for the future.
Without further thought, Natsu grabbed the Sphere, and then eat it, shallowed it, and then began to change.
His aura, black as a lifeless night, where risen to the roofs, shaking the very rooms, as Happy tried not to fall off, and Rilfex covered his face with his arms.
Eventually, it died down, and showed Natsu, in his new form.
Natsu now had black scales on his arms, hands, legs, feet, pectorals, stomach of his chest and around the neck and ends within the collarbone, his hair grew spikier and longer, had sharp fangs, spikes around his ankles, shoulders and wrists, including two long spikes on his elbows, and one large on each knee, and his eyes had turned glowing orange.
Natsu then looked with his eyes, determined than before. "Rilfex, its time to finish this." Natsu said, before then looking down to his new form.
"What is this?" Natsu thought. "Dragon Force." Nayoru spoke mentally. "Huh?" A confused Natsu thought. "Dragon Force is the true and ultimate form a Dragon Slayer can achieve. It allows the user not only gained maximum power, but also gain the capabilities of a Dragon itself." Nayoru said.
"I see." Natsu said, before then looking back at Rilfex. "The Shade of Repent. A Spell that is said that anyone that devours it, "The Sins of the User are faded away in the darkness." Rilfex explained.
"As if that matters to you. I will take you down, right here and now!" Natsu said, as his sword were pouring with darkness. "That pleasure would be mine!" Rilfex said, before then charging his arms with blue flames, as their final clash in this battle would commence!
With Zero, the man had an annoyed expression on his face, as things hadn't gone as he planned. "Well, this is irritating. But I am still able to fire one more time." Zero said, before then turning to Ur who were in front him.
Zero simply smiled as a response.
"I am impressed, Ur, for your determination. But it seems you are the last hindrance in my goal." Zero said. "I will not let you have this world´s future." Ur said, charging with Ice Magic.
Zero then jumped into the air, in front of the large crystal, and his darkness were stronger than ever before.
"Then I shall make sure you won't leave this world empty handed. Behold, Ur, as a farewell gift, I shall give you my ultimate Spell!" Zero said, charging his attack.
"As if I let you!" Ur said, charging her Ice Magic.
(Play My Hero Academia Ost, You Say Run, here)
Darkness, in the shape of thousands of ghosts, with horrified expressions on their faces, twirling around Zero in dance of madness, while Zero´s finger where glowed an dark light.
"This is the End! Open the Gate of Wraithwail: Genesis Zero!" Zero said, as the thousands of ghosts swarmed toward Ur, who had her Ice Magic charged to the maximum!
Ur then placed her hands in a praying formation, and the ice began to form into cold winds, before shaping into a big, Chinese dragon made of white ice. It had sharp teeth, blue, glowing eyes, two large antler-like horns, has a serpentine body, tree-clawed limbs, a frilly, flame like tip on the tail and a long, white mane.
"Ice-Make Unlimited: White Winter Dragon!" Ur said, before then sending the large ice dragon at great speed!
The Two Spells then struck into each other, in one massive clash!
And with Natsu, Happy, Jellal and Rilfex, Natsu charged his sword, preparing for the final strike of their current battle.
"As much I want to try more of my new state, there are more important things I need to finish, right here and now!" Natsu said, has the darkness grow on both on his aura and on his sword.
Rilfex stood still, and he prepared to charge his flames for one final attack as well.
Happy and Jellal could only have their eyes widened of what they were seeing right now in front of them.
Natsu´s aura of darkness took the shape of a large, black dragon with wings, horns and a tail, while Rilfex´s aura of flames were taken the shape of a large demon, it´s red eyes glowing a bright light, and has it´s skin in the shape of spiky flames.
Rilfex crocked in his fingers, before then placing his arms in front of each other's, before then pulling back and charged a glowing, sphere of flames, while a sphere of flames where gathered around his hands.
Natsu then pulled down his sword at his side, the darkness, thicker, dark and more powerful than before, while Natsu, the one who held the sword, was willing to unleash upon Rilfex.
Jellal, on the ground, watched with his hopeful eyes, as he thought, and knew Natsu would win.
"Natsu... please... win... for the future, for you, Erza and those you hold dear. Please win!" Jellal thought.
"This is it. Once you are struck but this, you won't be even able to see when you died, and even when you are reduced to ashes, it will continue to burn your very own soul!" Rilfex.
"Then come on! It´s time to taste the Dark!" Natsu said, and then swung his blade, unleashing a powerful and thick wave of darkness!
"Abyss Dragon Blade Secret Art: Rose of True Darkness!" Natsu said, sending the darkness wave towards Rilfex, taking in the shape of a twirling, spiky, flowerlike projectile.
Rilfex himself, wasted no time, as he pulled his arms forward, and then sent a powerful wave of blue flames, glowing brightly and of titanic size.
"Fire Devil Secret Art: Ever Blazing Scorcher!" Rilfex said, as it went towards Natsu´s attack.
Before long, their attacks were striking, toching it other and fought for dominance!
Natsu fought tightly, not showing any sighs of stopping, and so did Rilfex the same.
"What´s the matter?! Don't tell me that's all the power of dragons can offer!" Riflex taunted.
Natsu responeded with silence, his head filled with the fought of his friends, lovers, his home, guild, memories, everything that was to be gone, if he didn't finish it right here and now. He wanted it not to be gone, but to continue to move on in a bright future.
And with Ur and Zero, Ur´s Ice Dragon tried to overpower the numerous ghosts that were overwhelming over it, much to the delight of Zero.
"Don't you understand it´s futile?! Once you are struck by my Spell, you wont either be alive or dead, but forever be in the void of eternal darkness!" Zero said, but his words went deaf in Ur´s ears.
"I cannot end here... I don't wanna end here... not for Natsu, not for my friends, not for my students..." Ur said, before then one final image, of a young Ultear, who were similing, in the time before she made the greatest mistake in her life.
That was the mistake she was never gonna do again, and to fix it, no matter what!
Ur´s eyes were filled rage, fury and determination. She didn't want her journey, who had been restared, to end like this!
Her aura grew bigger, brighter and stronger than before, as the White Dragon then went through the swarm of ghosts, much to Zero´s shock!
But I didn't end there, as Ur then with her rage purely alone, she had the Ice Dragon go through everything, ignoring the pain and exhausting that was going through her right now.
Zero, could only watch in horror, before then the gigantic ice dragon opened in jaws and the bite down on Zero!
"NO! It cannot be! I am... I am... unstoppable!" Zero said in horror, before then the Dragon chomped down it´s maws and swallowed Zero!
At the same time, their allies were all preparing to destroy the Crystals of the Nirvana.
As with Natsu, his attack clashed thought with Rilfex, each second becoming more intense than the previous, until then, Natsu managed to gain the upper hand.
"WHAT?! Impossible!" A shocked Rilfex said, and before he could do anything, a grinning Natsu then used all his might to then send his attack towards Rilfex, going straight at him!
Rilfex were struck by Natsu´s attack, before it completely engulfed him.
Meanwhile, each of their allies, strike down the crystals at the same time, ending Oracion Seis´ schemes once and for all!
"Now Wendy! It´s Time!" Carla said, as Wendy nodded, took a deep breath and then unleashed a powerful torrent of air. "Sky Dragon´s Roar!" Wendy said, and her attack struck the Crystal, shattering it to pieces.
While she did so, with Lucy and Yukino, Taurus swung his axe at the Crystal, whil Pisces dashed into it.
Gray created an ice cannon, blasting the Crystal to pieces.
Erza Re-Equipped into her Heaven´s Wheel Armor, sending her swords to strike it down, destroying the Crystal.
Rilfex was then sent towards the Crystal, which were shattered upon impact! Rilfex immediately fell unconscious to the powerful blast of Darkness.
The ground underneath opened a large hole, due to the impact of Natsu´s attack, which then an unconscious Rilfex fell down in it.
And meanwhile, The Ice Dragon which had shallowed Zero, crashed towards the pillar, shattering it completely in an instant, before it then died down, showing Zero, who had been frozen solid.
"Damn... you... UR!" Zero shouted through his frozen lips, before then began to disintegrate, to nothing.
(End My Hero Academia ost here)
Ur panted, falling on her knees, as then slowly, a smile spread on her face, and tears of happiness, where slowly starting to come from her eyes.
The nightmare, known as her past, which she didn't know about until today, was over.
"Ultear. I have taken care of him now. Please, be happy, as a gratitude for this." Ur said, before then looking up to the roof with happy tears.
Back with Natsu...
A panting Natsu fell to the ground, as a blue cat were running towards him. "NATSU! Are you okay?!" Happy said, running towards him, despite the pain he felt in his one wing.
Natsu simply let loose a small, weak grin on his face. "Yeah, I feel good. Very good." Natsu said, his grin growing bigger.
Nirvana was no more, and Oracion Seis was defeated!
And that's it for this chapter. I hope you all enjoyed this one, and if you did, please review, favorite and follow. I tried to make this as long as possible.
Here you got to see the result of the Brain/Zero Poll, where it has shown you wanted him dead, so I killed him off here. Yep, Zero is dead, no more words and that´s final. Also, this is a fight both me, and altajir95 I have been working on a thinking, and I am grateful for his help and inspiring.
In Rilfex´s speech to Natsu, it was my recall of when I first introduced Kuroryuken here. I bet you all were a bit upset about "Hero being overpower by super strong Villian, but are saved by some random Plot Device),"-cliché. I know that it felt rushed, and Rilfex´s speech was something that I felt to tell my reaction to it. Even I felt a bit ashamed that I introduced it in such a way. Don't have the wrong idea thought, I do love the Kuroryuken, I have plans for it, and I am gonna have Dragon Slaying Swords play a role here.
But I would also like to thank vincent blames in his review from my other story, Inner Power, about Natsu´s attack, "Abyss Dragon Blade: Secret Art: Rose of True Darkness." (even though I changed it a bit) The next chapter finish the Nirvana Arc, and I sure had fun writing this chapter, as well the fight. But in the future, I will have lots more fights, more epic and intense than this one, and that's for sure. See you all later!
