At the base camp, Mira in her Satan Soul flew around in the forest as she dodged multiple amounts of chain explosions that came around her.
Azuma watch Mira flies away before he lifted his right guard up to block a kick from Lisanna in her Animal Cat Soul that she soon followed with a fury of claw swipes.
"disappointing" said Azuma as he dodged all the claw swipes from Lisanna before he swiped his right arm to the side and cause an explosion to blow out from bellow the cat girl.
"Kyaaa!" screamed Lisanna as she got sent flying to the air.
"Lisanna!" shouted Mira before a tree log pierced out of the ground and hits her gut hard causing some saliva to escape from Mira's mouth. The Majin got sent crashing to the ground as Lisanna fell right beside her.
"Am I really going to spend my time here finishing weaklings?" Azuma questioned as he finds the two sisters to be weak.
"why you!" said Mira while getting up as her claws glows dark before she dashes straight at Azuma at high speed.
Azuma tilt his head to dodge a piercing claw strike from Mira before his eyes widen in surprise when his cheek got a bleeding cut from Mira's attack. His lips formed a smirk as Azuma raises his guard up to block a leg swing attack from Mira that made his feet get drag on the ground.
"interesting" said Azuma before he dashed at Mira and sends a knee kick right at her stomach that made the Majin grunt before retaliating with a punch to the man's face.
Mira and Azuma started exchanging blows with their magic as the power of their psychical attack caused the ground around them to break and shatter. Lisanna watch the two fight as she is amazed at how powerful and fast the two exchange their attacks at one another.
"this is the first time…I've seen Mira-nee's full power!" Lisanna watch as Mira staggers back from a punch to her left cheek before she pulled back her right arm and sends a black magic blast right at Azuma that sends the man flying to some trees that were knocked down from his crash.
A minute passed as Azuma appeared, the man swung both hands forward as dozens of tree roots came flying right at Mira who spreads her wings and flies away with the tree roots following behind
"This is it! This is the sensation I've been looking for! It's the best!" announced Azuma as Mira came down towards him with a black magic sphere charging up in between her claws.
"Evil Stream!" shouted Mira before unleashing a spreading black magic attack at Azuma who waved his right hand to his left side, creating a large wooden barrier that blocked all her attacks. Mira clicked her tongue before she sees sparkling particles around her that soon explodes a second later.
Mmira flew out of the smoke of the explosion as she got a bit scratched and damaged but still in the fight. Before she could attack Azuma again, branches came out of the ground and grabs her hands and legs then pulls them.
Azuma came out of the wooden barrier shield as he smirks before he snapped his finger, causing a chain explosion upon Mira.
"Chain Burst" said Azuma while chuckling before Mira came flying out of the smoke of the explosion and right at Azuma who got a right hook to the face from her.
Azuma's feet drag along the ground before the man rubs his jaw and then smirks
"Outstanding." Said Azuma while letting out a few chuckles. "you're truly living up to your name."
Mira just glared at the man as the battle is far from over with him.
At another site of the battle, Wendy with Charla and Lily took cover behind a large boulder as Natsu faces against Zancrow in a battle where black flames burn everything around.
Zancrow smirks at Natsu who is bleeding from his lips while having steaming burn wounds on his arms and legs, the Salmon haired mage holds a broken axe as he is in a tough spot against the Fire God Slayer whose flames managed to even burn himself.
"what power….for a Fire Dragon Slayer to be defeated by flames!" said Lily, seeing the whole battle and how Natsu is getting overpowered.
"Dragon Slayer Magic is for slaying Dragons, but that guy's God Slayer Magic slays god! Nothing can win against a god!" said Charla, believing a god is more powerful than a Dragon.
"Natsu-san!" exclaimed Wendy as Natsu wipes off some blood on his lips before spitting out some to the ground.
"Are you finally realising the situation you are in, Salamander?" cackled Zancrow. "Did you really think a dragon could defeat a God?"
"damnit…..this one has a very ancient magic just like mine….i can't win if I use my own magic against him" Natsu huffs his breathing before he glance down to his waist as he didn't even bring Chitetsu with him. "am I always have to be attached to him?"
"it's time to die, Salamander!" shouted Zancrow as he slams his fists together, engulfing himself in flames. "Enjin no!"
"this man killed without remorse….the condition should be right" Natsu's eyes slowly turns lifeless before black vein marks started appearing all over his neck up to his cheeks.
"Kagitsuchi!" Zancrow fired a giant black flaming sphere at Natsu who stood in his place before he got engulfed in it and a powerful explosion occured.
"Natsu-san!" Wendy screamed out as she tried to reach him, but Charla and Lily pulled her back.
"you can't go there, Wendy! You'll die if you get touched by those black flames!" exclaimed Charla as the power of the explosion caused a shockwave.
A minute passed as the explosion died down and revealed smoke everywhere with no sign of Natsu.
"no…Natsu-san…" gasped Wendy in shock, believing that Natsu was reduced into nothing.
"hahahahaha! Bite the dust, didn't you Salamander?!" shouted Zancrow as he started laughing.
"that bastard!" grunted Lily as he tried to transform into his large form, but his magic supply is very low and he couldn't transform.
CRACK CRACK
The sound of bone cracking was heard on the field as this got everyone's attention. From the smoke stood something large and sphere like as the bone cracking sound is coming from it.
"w-what is that.." muttered Charla as she had no idea what she is seeing in the smoke.
"could it be.." said Wendy as the smoke died down to reveal a large dome made out of bones.
"a dome….made out of bones?!" Lily looks surprised before the dome of bones shatters and reveals Natsu whose entire right arm and right leg is covered in bone like armor.
"Charla, Lily, take Wendy away from here" said Natsu as his face is slowly getting covered in a demonic bone mask that is slowly spreading to all side of his head. "if you don't. I might accidently kill you three too"
"w-what…Natsu-san…" muttered Wendy confused before Lily and Charla grabs her back and flew away, without sparing a second to ask Natsu what he is talking about. "wait! Charla! Lily!"
"we have to get away from here!" exclaimed Lily as he and Charla flies away while bringing Wendy. "from what I've heard from Master, if Natsu goes into a demonic form, he will lose all his reasonings!"
"what!? Why I haven't heard of that!?" said Charla as they just fly away with Wendy and heads to the forest.
Natsu took a step forward as his whole head gets covered in the demonic bone mask with his eyes turning black.
"this is what? Some sort of last resort transformation?" said Zancrow with a smug look. "no matter you take form of, Geko. You can't beat a god!"
Natsu lifted his demonic right hand up as his fingers turns into sharp claws before black mist started to appear upon his palm. Reaching his left hand into the black mist, the man soon pulls out Chitetsu as the cursed katana let out a cackle.
"I have told you before, Natsu" said Chitetsu while the cursed katana got drawn out of its scabbard that was soon thrown away. "once I have chosen who is worthy to wield me, our fates are sealed together"
"I know" said Natsu as black tentacles started to wrap around Natsu's right hand and went right under his skin while sucking in his blood. "but right now….this enemy of ours has a fate that needs to be sealed"
"I've longed to hear those words from you" said Chitetsu as the demonic skeletal shadow appeared upon the katana's blade and is laughing.
Zancrow looks at Natsu as the Dragon Slayer's aura suddenly changed into something else.
"this guy….he feels different….that sword of his…it's talking, right?" thought Zancrow as he had a weird feeling of something that won't end too good for him.
"how much power do you need this time?" asked Chitetsu to Natsu who swung the katana to the side, causing a powerful air slash that cuts down several acres of trees nearby.
"just enough to make this one and his allies pay" said Natsu as his whole body undergoes a full demonic transformation. His body and limbs covered in skeletal bone like armor, his skin turning white while covered in black vein marks, Natsu's face covered in a demonic red and white bone mask that is slowly growing out horns, Natsu's pink hair grew long before turning black, skeletal tentacle bones came out of his back and are surrounding him while moving like snakes.
"interesting" cackled Chitetsu as the katana transforms into is demonic form and is covered in black aura.
Zancrow felt fear rising in his heart as this is the first time the dark mage felt such demonic power other than his own master.
"time for you" said Natsu as glowing red eyes appeared in the eyeholes of the demonic mask before Chitetsu finished his sentence. "Die"
Zancrow took few more steps back before Natsu dashes right at the Fire God Slayer then swung Chitetsu right at him.
At some part of the island, Ultear stared ahead with wide, teary eyes, a wide smile growing on her face with each second. She was currently standing in front of a scowling young man with black hair, who was now slowly getting up from beneath the tree he was sitting under.
"Zeref...my Lord..." breathed the woman, tears forming in her eyes. "I've been looking for you for so long..."
"Who are you?" asked her Zeref, his piercing glare staring Ultear down. "Why do you know about my whereabouts? Is it my power you are seeking for?"
Ultear quickly dropped to her knee and bowed her head in respect. "Your very existence, my Lord."
"Is this the reason you are attacking this place? You and your people?" said Zeref
"Yes. We are willing to go to great lengths in order to stand by your side." said Ultear, her bow deepening.
Zeref continued to stare at her, before slowly closing his eyes, a short sigh escaping his nose.
"No matter what era, people are still the same. All of the blood spilled, all of the lives claimed, all of the destruction caused in my name. I am unable to find words in any language known to mankind to describe just how much it pains me."
The atmosphere changed. Ultear's smile faded in an instant, giving in to pure fear. The air became uncomfortable to breathe in, and the soft wind ceased to travel through leaves and branches. There was, however, a foul stench spreading in the area at sickening pace.
The smell of death.
"I have no intention of doing anything, or taking a part in anything in this period." proclaimed Zeref, his red eyes grinding Ultear's groveling figure into the ground. "I don't want to see wars being fought in my name, I don't want to see people dying in my name. Stop attacking this island and leave at once. I shall not repeat myself. Do not anger me any further."
At the ocean, the once thought to be destroyed Council ship is still floating on the ocean while its crew were on lifeboats
"Hurry, tend to the wounded!" Lahar ordered his men as they are trying to save as many people as they could. "Repairs to the facility can wait until later! Do not let your fellow comrades die in here, that is an order!"
"Yes, sir!" replied Lahar's men to their captain
Lahar sighed stressfully and looked around as it was chaos everywhere.
"Those, who can move, follow me!" he ordered out loud. "We are going to charge onto the island! All men prepared for battle should-"
His orders interrupted by Mest, who teleported right behind him, startling the man. Lahar turned around and his gaze softened, seeing that his friend was safe.
"Doranbolt! I am so glad to see you're safe! What are those wounds?!" he asked in concern, only now noticing the burns and cuts on his friend's body.
"I'm fine." replied Doranbolt. "How's the ship? What's the situation?"
"The worst. We've lost many men, and this ship can barely float on the ocean. We'll have to move onto emergency boats, that have somehow survived." Lahar replied
"And the communication lacrima?" asked Doranbolt
"intact, we're calling for backup as we speak. What the hell happened on that island?!" exclaimed Lahar wanting to know the full situation.
"Fairy Tail, Grimoire Heart and Zeref. A three-way war has started in there. Grimoire Heart was the one who attacked the ship, Fairy Tail is fighting them off as we speak." Replied Doranbolt, surprising Lahar.
"Grimoire Heart….and Zeref?!" gasped shocked Lahar.
"I am borrowing the lacrima! I have to contact the HQ!" said Doranbolt and passed his friend, heading towards the communication room.
"Three biggest obstacles in the magic world...gathered in one place?! The sheer thought is too ridiculous to even consider!" said Lahar and massaged the bridge of his nose, completely lost. "If we report this catastrophe to the HQ...there's a chance the Light will be dropped..."
Doranbolt stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around, distraught. "Etherion?!"
"If it comes to that, we'll have to obey our orders and act accordingly." Said Lahar.
"Wait a second!" yelled Doranbolt. "It is true Fairy Tail is not on the best terms with the Council, but they do not deserve to be put in the same bag as Zeref, or Grimoire Heart!"
"If it makes you feel better, then know that I agree with you, however, it is not for us to decide." stated grimly Lahar. Doranbolt lowered his head and clenched his fists in frustration.
"Now please, contact the HQ." ordered Lahar and walked away to regroup his forces.
In the forest, Zancrow runs through the trees as he turns back and fires a stream of black flames that were dispersed by an air slash so powerful that trees in front of the God Slayer were cut down, nearly blocking his way.
"why?! Why is this happening? Why am I, a God Slayer running from this bastard!?" Zancrow screamed in his mind before a long skeletal tentacle went flying by and pierced the God Slayer's right shoulder, causing blood to spill and the man in pain. "guuh!?"
The skeletal tentacle pulls back from inside Zancrow's flesh as it sucks in blood while getting out. Zancrow fell to the ground as he rolled on the dirt before he stopped when he hits a tree.
Huffing his breath, Zancrow looks up as his eyes were wide and in fear.
"why am I afraid?...why is a god like me afraid of something like you!?" exclaimed Zancrow as Natsu stood in front of him while in his pure demonic skeleton like form.
Natsu is covered in skeletal armor as he has sharp claws on his feet and fingers, jagged sharp bone spikes running along his forearm and down the side of his legs with the addition of the line of bones running down his back down to his waist, bone tentacles moving around while attached to his back, demonic horned skeletal mask that is has red and black line drawings.
The demonic stared down at the terrified Zancrow before the bone tentacles move around near Natsu's sides.
"a god…" muttered out Natsu in a very low and demonic voice that sounded like there are 2 persons speaking in unison. "…..can't ever hope….to defeat a demon like me"
Natsu lifted Chitetsu up as the cursed katana seems to have its handle fused right into the demonic man's right hand's palm. Chitetsu's blade glows black before it emanates a deadly and potent wave of black magic.
"cut it all down….Chitetsu" said Natsu as his eyes glows black before the man swung the katana down at Zancrow who let out a screaming shout, causing some birds in the area to fly away out of the trees.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
