The last battle had taken its place in the Celestial Spirit World as Natsu and the others along with Lingyue's Celestial Guardian Spirits battled against the Celestial Spirit Beast.
"Orion's Bolt!" Draco roared out loud while soaring in the air before the Dragon of the North Sky unleashed multiple lightning spheres that bombarded and exploded against the Celestial Spirit Beast's head.
"Kaiten Chi!" Genbu came flying in a rapid spinning fashion as the large tortoise rams itself against the Celestial Spirit Beast's front and caused it to fall on its back, but before it could regain its bearings; Byakko and Houou were hovering above while charging energy of their respective elements.
"Taifu Ha!" "Akenomyosei!" the two spirits of flames and wind unleashed their attacks that combined and became a fire that barrages itself against the Celestial Spirit Beast and consumed it in a large scale of an explosion.
It didn't take another minute for the Celestial Spirit Beast to rises out of the smoke as it let out a roar against the Four Great Guardian Beast but in its action, the Four Animal Spirits went for the attack behind it.
"Poseidon Stream!" "Oodama Moku Shuriken!" Seiocho and Enra went on the attack first as the mermaid spirit fired a powerful water cyclone from her trident while the Monkey King Spirit created a large wooden shuriken and threw it.
Both of their attacks flew and instantly exploded right on the Celestial Spirit Beast's back that made the humanoid monster stumble a bit forward but it was soon faced by Taka and Tengu that came flying up towards its head.
"Yugo Ninpo!" the two avian spirits exclaimed before they grab each other's hands and started spinning in a white and black energy field that rotates very fast. "Mangetsu Shoku Getsu!"
Their combined attack instantly hits the Celestial Spirit Beast's head and cause it to explode while slowly staggering back.
As the Celestial Guardian Spirits finished their attacks, Natsu along with Erza and Kagura came flying in.
"at once!" Natsu shouted while wielding Chitetsu with both hands.
"right!" Kagura and Erza exclaimed as they got closer and closer towards the Celestial Spirit Beast that turns towards them.
"Mugetsu Ryu!" the three exclaimed as they readied their blade at their side before they zoom pass the Celestial Spirit Beast's head. "Indra Rasetsu!"
Their attacks instantly left three huge cut marks on the Celestial Spirit Beast's head as the large humanoid creature let out a pained roar.
Natsu, Erza, and Kagura flew in the air before Draco came flying in and catches them on his head.
"did that do it?" Erza asked in seeing how their attacks left a big amount of damage on their foe.
"no." Draco stated as the Celestial Spirit Beast roared loudly while its body is bulging out and bubbling as its size grows. "it barely did any damage."
"just what is it doing?" Erza asked as everyone witnessed the Celestial Spirit Beast growing spikes on its back while it goes on all four.
The Celestial Spirit Beast soon roared louder while swirling portals appeared all over its body and fired energy beams that seems to be like fire.
"Draco!" Natsu exclaimed as Draco responded before the Dragon Spirit flies away and dodge the stream of green energy.
The others did the same as the Celestial Guardian Spirits saved Gray and the others before they were hit by the attack.
"just what is it doing!?" Gray exclaimed while holding onto Byakko's back as he and Ayame were saved from getting hit by the green energy stream.
"its power is becoming unstable from within." Genbu spoke out as the Tortoise Spirit retracted its head and limbs to its shell that deflected the energy coming out of the Celestial Spirit Beast while having Daichi shielded inside. "I doubt it can continue to sustain itself with only 11 of the 12 zodiacs."
"all the matter for it to try and reach Earthland to take Virgo." Houou added in while flying in the air with Taka and Seiocho hovering beside.
"we cannot allow it to complete Liberum, the fate of two worlds depends on us." Byakko spoke as the rest nodded in unison.
"attack its back! Its power accumulates there!" Draco exclaimed before he roared and fires multiple lightning spheres.
"let's go, Ayame!" Enra exclaimed as Ayame nodded before the two wielding their staffs that they spin and got into a stance with. They soon jumped and ride on Byakko's back as the White Tiger Spirit runs straight towards the Celestial Spirit Beast.
"let it have it!" Taka exclaimed as he, Tengu, and Akari fired arrows and shurikens.
Everyone keeps on attacking the Celestial Spirit Beast that roared louder and louder by the second.
At Magnolia, the weather became a raging hail of a storm as if the battle in the Celestial Spirit World is also affecting Earthland.
"everyone! Evacuate the citizens to the shelters!" Makarov ordered out to his guild as everyone moved on the double in protecting the people of the town. "if the shelters are too full, then shelter them into our guild! We have to protect our people till Natsu and the others win their battle!"
"right!" Fairy Tail's guild members responded as they work fast to do his orders.
Makarov watches the battle in the sky before he turns to look at Ikaruga who is using all her powers to protect the barrier between both worlds.
"is Mom and Dad going to be okay?" Haruka asked while carrying Ikki.
"your mother and father will be fine, Haruka." Makarov told the young girl while nodding. "have faith in them."
"can't we do anything to help?" Haruo asked while looking anxious. "Mom and dad are the only ones fighting!"
"i understand your feelings, Haruo. But leave this to them." Makarov told the young boy before he looks at the cracked portal in the sky as it showed Natsu riding on Draco's head while the Dragon of the North Sky spirit fires a stream of lightning at the Celestial Spirit Beast. "the world's fate is at their hands, not yours. Just help with what you can, that is all I can tell you."
Haruo gritted his teeth while grasping his fists tight before he looks at the battle above.
"come on, dad! Win this!" Haruo shouted out as the storm soon rages.
Returning to the battle at the Celestial Spirit World, it went even more above the climax as explosions occurred everywhere.
The Celestial Spirit Beast roared before it started firing large numbers of magic blasts everywhere at everyone who are flying away or shielding themselves from the attacks.
Draco flew around dodging the magic blasts as Natsu who rides on his head swung Chitetsu and cut a magic blast in half.
"Draco! Up!" Natsu shouted as Draco soon flew up while the salmon haired mage hangs on.
The Celestial Spirit Beast roared before it turns towards Draco and started to charge energy.
"it won't let us regain any distance."Draco growled before he roared and charge up electricity into his large jaw.
Both spirits charged their energy before firing magic and lightning blasts attacks against each other that resulted in a powerful flaming explosion.
Everyone watched as smoke clouded the Celestial Spirit Beast from their sight.
"did that do it?" Gray asked while riding on Byakko's back.
Natsu and Draco watches the smoke before the Celestial Spirit Beast's hand reached out and grabs the Dragon Spirit's tail.
"whaat!?" Natsu and Draco looks in surprise before the smoke dispersed for the Celestial Spirit Beast to come out and started swinging the Dragon Spirit by its tail. "aaagh!"
the Celestial Spirit Beast swung Draco and slams the Dragon Spirit against several planets in one go with Natsu.
"aggghh!" Natsu and Draco shouted in pain as the Celestial Spirit Beast soon let go of the Dragon spirit's tail and sends him flying away while crashing at a large planet.
"Natsu!" "Teacher!" Erza and Kagura shouted out as the two were upon the large planet and weren't getting up.
"just how is that thing not getting weaker!?" Gray exclaimed as the Celestial Spirit Beast roared while charging up energy from the spikes on its back.
"we just have to keep on hitting it till it can't hit back!" Enra growled as he spins his staff and got into a stance with it. "it accumulated the power of the zodiac spirits within itself! We have to find a way to exhaust its energy!"
Everyone went back on the attack while we turn our attention to the large planet where Natsu and Draco crashed upon. The planet's ground was wreaked by the Dragon spirit who laid on it for a few moment before the salmon haired mage came out from underneath.
Natsu huffs his breathing before he grunted in pain and his right hand drops Chitetsu to grabs his chest while his flaming left arm disperses.
'I've used too much magic and chi when fighting Draco and Ophiuchus…I'm nearly empty now' Natsu winced in pain as he soon had a vial appearing in his grasp. the content of the vial being blue as he quickly drinks it all down.
"damnit…" Natsu grunted in pain before he looks at the battle that is continuing. "I can barely make a flaming arm with what I have left."
"perhaps you can have more with sacrificing a few more of your years, Natsu" Chitetsu cackled out as Natsu growled at the cursed katana before he picked it up and went to Draco.
"hey, Draco. Get up." Natsu called out to the Dragon spirit. "Everyone else is still fighting, we got to get back into it."
"i-I know.." Draco grunted as the Dragon spirit opened his eyes and slowly gets his head up.
Natsu huffs his breathing a bit as he climbs up to Draco's head but a shocking pain in his chest just made him fall to his knees while grasping his heart that is beating erratically.
"i-it gave me….more damage that I thought!" Natsu groaned in pain. "I got to.."
Natsu grasped his heart as tight as he could while dropping Chitetsu yet again on the ground.
"consumed too much power; haven't you, Natsu?" Chitetsu cackled out as its demonic skeletal shadow appeared upon the katana's blade. "it pains you, doesn't it?"
"y-you damn piece of crap!" Natsu grunted out while glaring at Chitetsu who merely cackled and laughs in response.
Natsu grasps his heart as tight as he could before golden sparkles rain down upon him and the pain in his chest started to subside.
"t-this is?" Natsu looks at the golden sparkles that rains upon him and Draco as their wounds started to heal.
"it couldn't be.." Draco muttered out as he looks up and sees a golden star shining that was flying straight towards them. "unbelievable..to think you come to act." The golden shining star shines bright before it appears before Natsu and Draco while revealing the Silhouette of the Golden Beast spirit; Kirin within. "Kirin…you"
"the battle is still yet finished, Natsu Daimou." Kirin spoke out. "I have halt the progress of your weakness and regress it, but I cannot completely erase its existence."
"so you stopped it, huh?" said Natsu as he got back up while wielding Chitetsu. "why? I thought you are forbidden in acting against any events?"
"that is true, but I am bending my rules just for this one occasion." Kirin stated in reply. "right now, the fate of two worlds rest on your shoulders as that is something I must assist."
"then…will you help us fight against the Celestial Spirit Beast?" Draco asked while slowly floating off the ground.
"no…that is not something I can act in assisting your battle." Kirin replied while lowering his head down a bit. "I have been given restrictions and I must follow them. But…I can allow one more assistance for you, Natsu Daimou."
"me?" Natsu asked before he sees golden light gathering around his left side as metallic parts gathered around and formed a new metal arm for the salmon haired mage but this seems very different. "this is?"
"I have given you the power that can only be achieved when both mortal and spirit combines their heart." Kirin spoke out as Natsu's new metal arm is silverish gold while having a slot on the back hand area. "use it well in this battle and the ones that will come in the future.."
Natsu looks at his new metal arm before to Kirin who he nodded to as the Golden Beast Spirit soon disappears in a flash of golden light.
"are you sure about this?" Draco asked while looking at Natsu. "the power that Kirin spoke of. It will just progress yourself to your fate each time you use it."
"if I don't use it, then who will?" Natsu replied as he reaches into his pocket and takes out the golden Celestial Gem that he placed into the hole on his new metal arm's back hand that fits perfectly. "even if it leads me to my death, it's a power I will use to save this world and my world."
"are you sure that this is what you want?" Draco asked before he and Natsu turns to see a large explosion at the battle where they see everyone is doing their best in fighting against the Celestial Spirit Beast that started to pick them off one by one.
"I am" Natsu replied as he grips his metal hand and formed a hard fist while the Golden Celestial Gem shines a golden light on the back palm. "if this is what fate wants me to do and act, then I will face it head on."
The golden Celestial Gem shines brighter before it enveloped both Natsu and Draco who were soon struck by a lightning bolt that flashes from the sky.
At the battle, the Celestial Spirit Beast pushes back against Genbu's Kaiten Chi attack as the large humanoid monster soon stops the large tortoise spirit's spin and proceeds to throw him away.
"gooh!" Genbu crashes through some planets before he breaks his landing on a large planet while on the back of his shell.
"Genbu-dono!" Daichi shouted out as he and the rest were now facing against the Celestial Spirit Beast that roars while growing larger.
"damnit! It took everything we could throw at it!" Gray exclaimed with a frustrated face.
"does it not have any weakness!?" said Kagura while in a drawing stance.
"it has to have a weakness!" Ayame stated while gripping hold of her staff. "no being should be truly powerful without a weakness!"
"here it comes!" Akari exclaimed as the Celestial Spirit Beast became large and more muscular while charging more energy.
"everyone! Be ready!" Erza shouted while raising her swords as everyone else did the same but they knew that even if they could still fight, there was no chance of them ever winning against an unstoppable force.
"is this battle…the end?" Hisui asked in a despaired voice as she watches the Celestial Spirit Beast charges a large amount of energy into a sphere in front of its head that is aimed right at them but a powerful red lightning bolt flashes in before loud thunder rang and a powerful explosion exploded right upon the large spirit that was engulfed in it.
"w-what was that?!" Kagura stated in surprise while shielding her eyes as the explosion was big and powerful.
"everyone! Look there!" Gray shouted as he pointed a finger into the air because he saw something or rather someone.
Everyone looks to where Gray was pointing and their eyes widen while their faces became filled with hope when they see Natsu entering the battle again but this time in a different form.
"Natsu! / Teacher! / Daimou-sama!" the group shouted out as Natsu hovers in the air with a change of looks.
The salmon haired mage now has red scales covering his body from top to bottom that gives him a similar appearance to that of a dragon, his hair a bit longer and more spikier while having two horns protruding back, his metal arm not covered in the scales but metallic spikes with the design of a dragon on the Golden Celestial Gem, he wears crimson scaled pants that seems to be connected to his spiky crimson boots. The man also has a long dragon like tail on his back.
Natsu looks at the Celestial Spirit Beast as the large spirit comes out of the shadow and soon roared at him.
"let's go, Draco" said Natsu as he draws out Chitetsu whose guard around the hilt became similar to that of a dragon's claw while having crimson scales back edge.
"right!"Draco's voice spoke out from within Natsu's mind as the mage and spirit became one in heart and body.
The Celestial Spirit Beast roared at Natsu who wields Chitetsu with both hands before the cursed katana started to charge with red crackling electricity.
"Rai Ryu Zan!" Natsu shouted before he swung Chitetsu as he unleashed a powerful red electrical energy slash that collided against the Celestial Spirit Beast who was engulfed in an explosion more bigger and more powerful than the last one.
"what power!" Kagura exclaimed as everyone shielded themselves from the powerful explosion. "is this another power that Teacher has kept a secret of!?"
"wait…that power…" Akari spoke out with a surprised face. "could it be…Daimou-sama fused with his Kagejun?"
"no, it's not similar at all." Ayame stated as everyone now watch Natsu flying in as he attacks the Celestial Spirit Beast from all directions. "This is as if Daimou-sama and Draco-sama has combined their being into one that has the power of both mortal and spirit."
"it is as if they have become something more." Hisui muttered out while watching Natsu slashing Chitetsu's blade around the Celestial Spirit Beast's thrown fist before doing the same towards its head. "the power that is of human and spirit..united as one"
The group now watched with amazement as Natsu battled against the Celestial Spirit Beast on his own.
"raaah!" Natsu roared out as he slides down the Celestial Spirit Beast's back and cuts down all the spikes growing on its back with Chitetsu in a single swing.
The Celestial Spirit Beast roared as it turns and swung a fist at Natsu who flew up in dodging the attack before he counters by going into a drawing pose with a tight grip on Chitetsu's handle.
"Raikiri Hyakumai Sen!" Natsu shouted before he draws out Chitetsu and swung the blade to the side. The motion caused multiple amounts of electrical energy slashes to rain down upon the Celestial Spirit Beast that roars while getting engulfed in multiple amounts of explosions.
"Natsu, it won't matter for how much attacks we land upon it"Draco spoke out in Natsu's mind as they look upon the Celestial Spirit Beast that started to grow even bigger and became even more humanoid looking like the Celestial Spirit King. "we have to find a way and free the 12 zodiacs within it. That is the only way to stop this battle once and for all!"
"got it!" Natsu replied as he flies towards a planet and got into a drawing stance with his gaze very much focuses and hardened towards the Celestial Spirit Beast. "Kagura!"
Kagura instantly made a noise upon hearing her name called by her teacher as she faces to where he was upon.
"use your gravity magic and push that thing down!" Natsu shouted out loudly. "I'm going to end this once and for all! Use every ounce of your power to push it down!"
"y-yes!" Kagura responded before she got into a stance with her Fugutaiten raised up. "Juryoku Henka! 1000X!"
In an instant, a powerful and pressuring amount of gravity presses down upon the Celestial Spirit Beast that was forced down on all four but started to struggle.
"i-it's more powerful than last time!" Kagura grunted as she winced while using her Gravity magic at full power to push their foe down. "it's resisting more stronger!"
"everyone! Give Kagura your magic!" Erza exclaimed as she quickly holds Kagura's shoulder and started to transfer all her magic into the purple haired swordswoman. "we have to help them end this all!"
"right!" Gray and the other mages responded as they got together behind Kagura and started to transfer all their magic into her.
"we must aid them as well" Daichi told to Ayame and Akari.
"but we do not possess the ability to use magic like them." Said Ayame in retort.
"then we aid them by pushing that beast down." Akari stated before she has some arrows appear in her left hand while she readied her bow in her right hand.
"Akari-dono is right" said Daichi with an agreeing nod before he looks at the Celestial Spirit Beast that is getting pushed down on the ground more stronger by Kagura's reinforced Gravity Magic. "we must aid them as much as we can!"
"Daichi!" Genbu called out as Daichi, Akari, and Ayame turns and sees the rest of Lingyue's Celestial Guardian Spirits rejoining the battle. "let us aid you!"
"Genbu-dono!" Daichi exclaimed before he nodded. "very well! Let's go!"
Daichi, Ayame, and Akari jumped as they landed on Genbu's back shell as the Lingyue's Celestial Spirits started to attack the Celestial Spirit Beast in preventing it from getting up.
The battle continues on as it was a race against time.
Natsu tenses up his body as vein marks started to appear all over his arms and face.
'more! More power!' Natsu roared out in his head as his grip on Chitetsu's handle became tighter and harder. 'more power to cut this thing up to pieces!'
"Natsu! Aim at the center! Ready all ounce of your power and aim it for the center of that beast's body!" Draco exclaimed as Natsu's eyes focuses right at the Celestial Spirit Beast's back."we cannot afford to miss it by an inch! We only got one shot and only one!"
'I know!' Natsu shouted as he focuses more and more power into his arms as more vein marks popped out of the skin. 'one strike! All I need is one strike in the one right moment!'
Natsu's body started to glow a red aura as it glows menacing red while burning like fire.
The Celestial Spirit Beast presses itself against the land it stands upon as it gets bombarded with the attacks from Lingyue's Celestial Guardian Spirits along with the pressuring Gravity Magic by Kagura and the others.
The attack goes on before the Celestial Spirit Beast suddenly roared and rises to unleash a powerful shockwave that blew out everywhere.
"aaghh!" Kagura and the others were instantly flung back from the Gravity magic pressure that was broken.
"this thing!" Byakko roared out.
"how can it still fight back!?" Akari exclaimed.
"it's becoming more powerful!" Houou exclaimed as the Celestial Spirit Beast reaches to a form nearly similar to that of the Celestial Spirit King himself. "it's becoming more alike with the Celestial Spirit King!"
"hold it back!" Enra shouted as he did several fast hand signs that summoned large tree roots to grab the Celestial Spirit Beast's legs. "we cannot let it be loose!"
"for the sake of this world, our world! For the sake of our family and comrades!" Daichi shouted as he did some hand signs and summon rock pillars that wraps around the Celestial Spirit Beast's body.
The Celestial Guardian Spirits continued their attack as the Celestial Spirit Beast guarded itself against their attack before it counters by unleashing another shockwave that blew them away.
"aaaggggh!"Lingyue's Celestial Guardian Spirits along with Daichi and the others were blown away from the attack as they couldn't do anything against it.
The Celestial Spirit Beast soon turns and faces Natsu who is still focusing all his strength into one attack.
"Natsu! Run!" Erza shouted while getting up as everyone saw the Celestial Spirit King charge energy to the tip of one finger pointed at the Salmon haired Mage. "Natsu!"
Natsu gritted his teeth as he saw the attacking charging before him.
'not yet! This is still not enough!' Natsu gritted his teeth and growled in frustration as he believed that he won't be able to make it in time, but that was until a bulge moved around the ground below the Celestial Spirit Beast then a large hole was dug up and cause the large humanoid spirit to lose balance and misfire its attack above. 'this is?!'
"Natsu-san!" a voice called out as Natsu looks down and his eyes widen to see Virgo appearing in the Celestial Spirit World as the Maiden Spirit crouches near the large hole with the Celestial Spirit Beast's legs sunk into it. "now!"
Natsu looks at her before he grins and faces the Celestial Spirit Beast that is slowly regaining its balance.
"let's go! Draco!" Natsu exclaimed as flames and lightning started to charge around his sheathed weapon.
"right!" Draco roared out in response.
The Celestial Spirit Beast regains its balance and looks at Natsu who disappeared from where he was. The large humanoid spirit looks around before it looks up and sees the salmon haired mage coming down.
"Mugetsu Ryu! Ougi!" Natsu shouted out as he grips his hold on Chitetsu's handle as hard as he could while slowly drawing it out. The Celestial Spirit Beast roared as it swung a fist straight towards the Salmon haired mage who disappears and soon reappears behind the large humanoid spirit with Chitetsu stretched outwards, the cursed katana's blade crackles with electricity while dispersing flames. "Shin! Enrai Giri!"
Nothing had happened as the Celestial Spirit Beast turns to face Natsu who swung Chitetsu around before slowly sheathing the katana into its scabbard as the hilt made a click when it hits the scabbard's tip.
The Celestial Spirit Beast looks at Natsu before it roars as an uncountable amount of huge cut marks appears all around its body and blasts of energy escaped through each one.
"h-he did it!" Gray exclaimed as everyone sees the Celestial Spirit Beast started to shrink in size while reverting to its previous form. "Natsu did it!"
"he sapped away its power." Said Erza.
"look at that!" Kagura exclaimed pointing a finger out towards the Celestial Spirit Beast as the Eclipsed Zodiac Spirits came flying out of the large spirit's body one by one. "are those!?"
"The 12 zodiacs! Natsu-sama saved them!" Yukino stated with a relieved face.
In time, the Celestial Spirit Beast had all its energy blasted out before it grew large and then exploded in a big white flash that caused everyone to shield their eyes.
The light lasted for a few minutes before everyone slowly opened their eyes that soon widens to see the Celestial Spirit World in its true form.
"i-it's….the Celestial Spirit World.." Yukino muttered out. "everything is back to normal!"
"we finally won!" said Erza as everyone soon cheered in an instant.
"Gray-sama! Everyone!" a voice soon hollered out as everyone turns to see Juvia and the rest of their comrades who were turned into Constellations running towards them.
"Juvia! You guys! You've turned back to normal, huh?!" Gray called out while waving a hand.
"it was one heck of an experience being a constellation." Said Evergreen as she takes out her fan and started to fan herself. "never want to be one ever again."
"you say that but's Manly being a star!" Elfman exclaimed.
"I don't understand you" Evergreen stated with a vein mark appearing on her forehead. "and you're damn noisy!"
"how is everyone?" Erza asked Mira who just did a thumbs up.
"we're all still kicking alive." Mira replied before she looks around. "where's Natsu?"
"now that she said it.." Kagura spoke out as she started to look for her teacher and spotted him leaning against Virgo who is helping him. "there he is!"
Everyone quickly went to Natsu who was slowly placed down and leaned against a pillar by Virgo. The salmon haired mage's dragonic form soon came undone as he now reverts to normal.
"teacher!" Kagura quickly went to Natsu's side and looks at him. "are you well?"
"I'm…fine.." Natsu replied as he grunted a bit. "just tired."
"Natsu-san has nearly depleted his whole strength." Virgo stated. "he is in need of time for rest."
"just what was that form you become back then?" Erza asked regarding Natsu's Dragonic form. "it was as if you and Draco had united into one being."
"That is the power of Unity" a voice spoke as everyone looks up and sees Draco along with the other Lingyue Celestial Guardian Spirits who hovers above them. "The power that can only be accessed when one's heart connects with a spirit in awakening a long forgotten strength of the past"
"of the past? You mean there was someone else beside Natsu who could use this…Unity power you said?" Mira asked as Draco nodded.
"The First Empress of Lingyue; Kaguya-sama was the very first mortal to unite mortal and spirit into one." Houou spoke out. "it was with this power was she able to seal Orochi away in the first place."
"Unity, the power to be one with a spirit." Said Hisui with an amazed face. "just who is this Kaguya person?"
In time, everyone soon sees light sparkling from above as they turn to see the Celestial Spirit King appearing before them.
"old…friends…" Celestial Spirit King spoke as he looks down to Natsu and the others.
"Celestial Spirit King." Yukino spoke out. "you've returned back to normal."
"it appears…that trouble has come to your world.." Celestial Spirit King spoke out again but with a softer humbler voice. "I sense….darkness that had tainted this world and inflicted harm to your world."
"Celestial Spirit King" Erza called out. "what had happened to you?"
"I feel like….i have had a nightmare…" the Celestial Spirit King replied while his cape dances from a wind that passes by. "a very long and endless nightmare."
"he doesn't remember of what had happened." Said Enra while sitting on top of Genbu's head. "the Eclipse that affected him and the 12 zodiacs have different effects than what had happened to us."
"Celestial Spirit King" Hisui called out as she stepped forward and faced the large spirit. "please, forgive me. It was because of me that you were all affected by the Eclipse and were not in control." The princess then bowed. "I apologize with my whole life for causing such pain for you all!"
"old friend…" the Celestial Spirit King bellowed out before he shakes his head. "you have nothing to apologize."
"but, I have caused a great unfortune to not only the Celestial Spirit World but also to my own world." Hisui stated with an apologetic tone. "I cannot accept.."
"you have done what you must to protect your world, you have nothing to apologize for as it is not in the wishes of the stars for you to be punished." The Celestial Spirit King stated out. "old friend, raise your head high. You have atoned for your mistakes that were never yours to begin with. That is the wishes of the stars."
Hisui looks at the Celestial Spirit King as she tears up before she nodded with a grateful smile.
"Celestial Spirit King, what about Loke and the others?" Gray called out as he does not see the rest of the 12 zodiacs besides Virgo. "are they still here?"
"we're here" a voice called out as everyone turns to see all 12 zodiacs in their original forms.
"Libra! Pisces!" Yukino exclaimed in seeing her two beloved celestial spirits together.
"everyone has returned back to normal as you can see" the Celestial Spirit King spoke out. "it is all thanks to you, old friends."
"looks like we guys owe you all one." Said Loke as he shakes hands with Gray.
"you bet" Gray replied with a grin.
"Erza-san" Virgo went to Erza who turns to the maid spirit who handed her Golden Celestial Spirit Key to her. "please give this to Princess."
"your Celestial Spirit Key?" said Erza while taking hold of the key as Loke and the others soon surrounds her while handing their own keys to her. "you guys too?"
"things went a little off with what had happened." Said Loke with a smile. "as much as we want to hand our keys to Lucy personally, there're somethings that we need to do in the Celestial Spirit World in the meantime."
"you guys finished your part, we have to do ours." Aquarius added. "tell that little girl to not call on us for a week till we get our jobs done, but make it three weeks for me since I still have my date with Scorpio."
"please send our regards to Lucy-san and her Nice body!" said Taurus with a thumbs up.
Everyone else smiled as Erza smiled back and nodded in understanding while taking hold of their keys for Lucy.
Libra and Pisces did the same for Yukino who smiled happily in receiving their keys again.
"Natsu" Draco called out to Natsu who was helped up to his feet by Elfman and Mira as the Dragon spirit hovers in the air along with the Celestial Guardian Spirits. "be advised on when should you use Unity. That power comes with a great cost of a risk for you."
"I know" Natsu replied before he grunted a bit. "but I don't think I'll be needing to use it till I rest up from it."
"just remember, that power is not to use lightly." Draco stated as Natsu nodded before everyone was engulfed in a bright golden light.
"farewell, old friends." The Celestial Spirit King spoke out while nodding his head towards Natsu and the others. "may the stars always protect you all as we wish for a great future that will come for you."
In a second, everyone disappeared into sparkles as they left the Celestial Spirit World.
At Fairy Tail, the raging weather stopped as the sky became clear and peaceful.
"the weather went back to normal!" said Max in seeing the blue sky filled with floating clouds.
"Natsu and the others must've done it!" Jet exclaimed as everyone started to cheer.
"well done" Makarov said with a nod before turning to look at Ikaruga who stopped her meditation and smiled while carrying Ikki back into her arms.
In a minute, Natsu and the appears into the guild as they fell on the floor in an instant.
"guys! They're back!" Warren called out as everyone instantly surrounded the group.
In time, a celebration was held in Fairy Tail as everyone celebrated the victory that Natsu and the others did in saving the world.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
