Before you begin this chapter just a warning so I don't get reviews about how stupid this chapter might sound:
This chapter will be dealing with topics such as creation, what is beyond it, the void, time, space, multiple realities, parallel dimensions and all sorts of crazy stuff.
If you don't understand I apologize but this is crucial to understanding several massive topics such as why Achnologia can consume literally anything, why Ahnkseram was as powerful as people said, where the Perfected Hybrid State sits in the power scale and much much more.
So please if you want to flame me don't flame me because of how this chapter might sound it's all relevant it's just really out there to the point that we left on the insanity train ok haha!
Anyway onto the usual stuff.
Tookoolforu2handle – (M8 that name!) My upload schedule is kind of when I can sometimes I upload once a week, twice a week, four chapters once a week it really depends on exactly what I'm currently writing in the story. If there is a lot of fighting I find that a lot easier to smash out like 4k words in less than three hours since I'm just mentally playing the fight and essentially describing it but other stuff like lore related stuff and chapters without combat at all take longer since they need more care.
So to answer properly expect at the bare minimum one chapter a week with a max of four. As for Kaneki we'll see I've read the manga and he's strong for sure I just want to see if the anime adds anything new or not since its sort of doing its own thing before I consider it but to be safe we'll put him one below Arch Demon until I can properly decide.
TheRayvenwolves – It's not so much that he wants nothing to do with the guild its more that he doesn't trust them like he used to, this Natsu as you know went through war at a mentally young age and learned that your comrades are all you have and to turn your back on them is basically a sin.
Also his personality has shifted twice the first time when he gained his Devil's Aura and the second time being when he ascended and gained the Hybrid's Aura. Natsu's current stance is that you cannot be judgemental towards others because of what they are with that based on his encounters with people like Zeref who wasn't a piece of work and Irene and the others during the Draconia incident where they were really nice for Spriggan and Leichart 12 members.
Also remember Fairy Tail was supposed to be his so called family and he had done so much for that guild and would have willingly died for any of them so for them to so easily dismiss all the good he'd ever done and call him a monster is a deep blow for him.
Really the best way to look at it would be from how you would feel if your loved ones did that to you because of something you didn't know up until recently because I most certainly wouldn't just have things go back to the way they were because they said sorry I wouldn't hold a grudge forever but the scar would be there.
Kazuka746 – not knowing what to expect is going be a thing for probably 90% of the chapters now that characters like Ahnkseram, Zeref and Achnologia are doing stuff haha.
Etherious X – I mean I do try my best to have the story as readable as possible there's nothing worse than finding a long story and its full of really bad spelling or there isn't any paragraphing as for my own spelling mistakes I often read through a few times to check but like you said it's easy to miss due to the overall size of each chapter combined with timeframe plus there are certain words that trigger me such as Armor and Armour since you see those two used a lot and yes I could read a dictionary I have three but that's just kind of eh haha.
Anyway with all that out of the way on with the story!
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
The Ancient Hybrid
/Natsu's POV/
Natsu had just performed the Soul Transference and was immediately frozen in place as half of Ahnkseram's soul entered his body, his consciousness slowly began to recede into his inner mindscape with the last thing he saw being Mavis waking from her slumber.
The next thing Natsu knew he was in his mindscape with Igneel nowhere to be seen, the mindscape was dark despite the magma and flames leading Natsu to believe that the transfer was a success.
"Oi Igneel you here?"
Natsu's voice echoed as he received nothing in response, looking around he couldn't see very far in front of him so he decided to explore a little. His mindscape was shifting and changing thanks to the new intruder which meant that Ahnkseram had to be around here somewhere so the only real option was to find him and get some answers.
As Natsu walked through his mind he noticed a faint glow in the tower where he merged with E.N.D, making his swiftly he came screeching to a halt at the doors. There in the centre of the room looking right at him was a pair of eyes identical to his own sitting on a throne of sorts. Walking into the room the doors slammed shut sealing themselves as Natsu got a good look at the intruder.
It was an elderly looking being that resembled a human however he had small pointed horns on his forehead and blood red scales just under his eyes and along his arms, he had long grey hair that made him look as if he was in prison with an almost gaunt look to him as his Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue eyes matched Natsu's own.
He wore nothing save a pair of ragged brown pants which left a good view of his well toned body which was littered with scars much like Natsu's own, Natsu didn't really know what to make of him until he spoke.
"You …"
"Me?"
"You are like me, Pure Hybrid Kind."
Ahnkseram's voice was rather gravelly as he panted slightly as if the mere action of speaking drained him of energy, after several moments to compose himself Natsu replied.
"Yes I am a natural Hybrid though I was not born this way; I was brought back to life after trying to combine God and Devil's Aura-."
"The method does not matter what matters is that you are … Pure Hybrid stands for one that did not steal such power, one that was not borrowing such power. YOU … should not exist."
"I … shouldn't?"
"No your existence defies everything I know the Gods and Devils would never stand idly by and allow a Hybrid to walk amongst them I should know for I am their greatest sin and was hunted and killed for it!"
"So I've heard," Natsu replied as the elderly Hybrid looked up at him with an almost maddening glare.
"So you've heard- YOU KNOW NOTHING," he roared as the entire room shook. "My story has been usurped, warped and twisted to suit the purposes of those foul deities, trash that don't deserve their station and you claim to KNOW my story!"
"So you believe yourself superior to them, you believe you deserve to be the sole ruler?"
"There should not even be a ruler you foolish child," Ahnkseram snapped making Natsu widen his eyes in shock. "I fought to end the bloody reign of those bastards because I KNEW THE TRUTH! You would not know, never know, never find out they would hide, forever hide the dark sin of their creation …"
"If it's so well hidden then how do you know," Natsu asked pulling Ahnkseram out of his musings.
"Was told, informed, experienced the creation firsthand! The creation of all things by it that came before all, a speck of antinothing that became … antisomething to create … everything."
"Wait hold on what's antinothing and antisomething," Natsu asked wanting to get as much info as he could.
"Foolish child you could never comprehend such concepts they exceed the confines of reality, what is reality except the reverse of antireality and from that antireality comes anticreation and from anticreation comes antinothing and from there antisomething and from that … antilife."
"So this anti whatever is the reverse of our current reality then?"
"NO NO NO NO FOOLISH CHILD COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND NEVER KNOW NEVER FEEL NEVER FEAR!"
The old man stopped his ramblings as a sinister smirk wormed its way onto his face as Natsu suddenly felt his consciousness slip away as he was thrown into the madman's broken mind experiencing firsthand what anti really was.
The moment he came out he fell to the floor in shock unable to believe what he was seeing.
"How is that possible!"
"Possible is confined to reality child anti has no confines," Ahnkseram smirked as Natsu looked utterly shocked.
"But how can he draw from such a well of power without simply vanishing from reality and into this anti place?"
"Because Chaos is a constant child do you not see, anti and this plane both orbit Chaos which is the bringer of the end, bringer of the anti."
"Wait so you mean to tell me that Chaos is the one constant between the two worlds, why Chaos of all things?"
"Because Chaos is all consuming, cannot be stopped, cannot be staved off! You grasp the general idea which is surprising but you simply do not understand the solution though that is far from surprising."
"Then why don't you tell me?"
"On one condition," Ahnkseram said no longer acting like a madman as Natsu's entire opinion of him did a complete one eighty. "Unite my soul-."
"No."
"WHY!"
"Because I can't trust you I've spoken to you for like three minutes and you've gone on about anti and Chaos and belittled my intelligence that isn't something I can work with."
"There isn't time the anti is coming it will consume this universe completely and move on until this reality becomes anti!"
"Then tell me how to stop it."
"Through combat you fool that is the only way!"
"How did the anti enter this world?"
"Through the sliver of a gap that was open for a microsecond as it took host of a broken man just before I merged with a boy named Zeref."
"So it is beatable right?"
"It must obey the laws of reality until there is no reality left to obey that is the law of anti."
"And how do you know all this?"
"Because I have conversed with anti itself through the sliver, my power alone was able to see them because I held the full might of existence within my hands!"
"That is the final form of the Hybrid Form?"
"Yes though it isn't as all powerful as you might believe based off of my statement, yes you hold existence within your grasp however you can never grasp it because it's like trying to block a river with one hand simply impossible."
"But you'd have reality warping abilities though right?"
"No you can SEE creation, FEEL creation and SENSE creation. Power you do obtain however the balance amongst reality must be maintained you see no one being other than the creator can be as powerful and the Hybrid is only number three on the food chain."
"Why are you telling me all this I thought you were meant to be the evil part of your soul full of anger and hatred and stuff?"
"Who said I wasn't, I'm full of all sorts of emotions I just do not care. Why get mad when I'm to be stuck here and possibly doom my own existence?"
"I suppose that's fair enough it's just odd I've been told you were this evil threat the worst creation had ever seen yet here you are talking to me about stuff that whilst crazy and hardly believable still not of evil intent."
"I was stuck in that Mavis girl for a long time and through her I saw things, I saw what humanity was and what they were capable of at their absolute worst and their absolute best. Her memories of this emotion called love shattered my soul in two using the instability of my aura at the time since we had just revived you. Yes I was placed within the girl however I am no less Ahnkseram than my other half."
"Your power not included," Natsu replied as the room shook a little more.
"Please reunite my halves you always do the right thing I was forcibly separated I'm old now I cannot harm anyone of real importance …"
Natsu was quick to react as he dodged a lightning fast strike from the old man that was embedded into the wall around chest level.
"You weren't even remotely convinced, not bad kid."
"Was any of what you said true?"
"Was it or was it not, you decide for yourself as I set about acquiring my new vessel …"
"That's not happening Ahnkseram I removed you from Mavis for two reasons the main one being that within me you have next to no chance of reuniting with your other half, to get it back Zeref will have to defeat me and you and I know given my track record it will be an uncertainty as to who the victor will be."
"You dare assume you can bind me you are nothing but a child to me!"
"Perhaps that is true Ahnkseram however there is one thing you failed to realize when you set up this whole dark and gloomy setup, this is my mindscape."
Chains shot up from around the throne wrapping around Ahnkseram who fought to free himself but found he couldn't as Natsu motioned for them to chain him to the chair.
"You aren't at full power Ahnkseram, powerful you may be you are the lesser half of yourself one could even say you are the weak and feeble half even with the strength you hold within you."
"You dare call me weak and feeble your death will be slow I assure you …"
"Speaking of death that brings me to my next point as to why you are chained to that chair, this tower is the only building within my mindscape and you decided to set up shop here correct? What you failed to realize was that this is where all my memories, knowledge and dreams are held, this is my brain and you walked right on inside willingly and are now chained within care to guess what that means?"
Ahnkseram's entire appearance became feral as he thrashed around trying to free himself from his bindings as Natsu walked over to the door and with a snap of his fingers they opened.
"You will be assimilated Ahnkseram and soon what you know I shall also know, your power shall be added to my own and you will fade from existence as you should have done countless years ago. The Gods and Devils were right to fear you the amount of cunning you had to somewhat convince me you were a decent being is far too dangerous for someone of your power."
"You won't get away with this I'll get you in the end my other half will feel this!"
"He is coming anyway it doesn't matter though it will be interesting to meet him compared to you, perhaps one without your emotions will be rational?"
"And anti, how will you stop such a thing without me!?"
"You were never part of the plan, from the moment I was told you were inside my brother I knew you had to die so that Achnologia didn't gain your power and so you shall I'm just kicking things off by getting rid of half of you."
"You think you can get rid of me that easily, me an entity that has persisted since the time of the Gods and Devils began!"
"Yeah I think I do now enjoy your last moments in the darkness you greeted me with while I move on with my life, oh and by the way I was actually interested in meeting you and I have to say I'm disappointed you're nothing but a manipulative bitter old man I'm surprised Mavis was able to put up with you. Oh well, later."
Natsu vanished as the doors to his mind closed with a screaming Ahnkseram thrashed around letting loose all manner of Dark Magic in a last ditch attempt to free himself to no avail.
The moment Natsu's vision focused back to reality he noticed he was still in the same place as Mavis looked at him with concern and also anger which didn't surprise him all that much.
"Mavis … you live once more it seems."
"You are an absolute idiot Natsu Dragneel," Mavis huffed trying and failing to appear intimidating.
"I take it you need clothes?"
"No need I still have my own in my own requip space," Mavis sighed as Natsu helped her up and she requiped into her usual attire.
"Not bad for over 100 years old."
"Shut it you I'm furious with what you did!"
"Think about it Mavis it was the best choice, as a tactician yourself you have to admit placing the soul with me makes things a lot harder for Alvarez."
"I'm not denying that but you forget what if Ahnkseram managed to get control over your body he'd be nigh unstoppable even by Zeref with the only one being able to beat him wanting to kill us all!"
"I took that into account Mavis and from the moment he took up residence in my mind I was prepared, as we speak I have him locked in my mind as I rip his knowledge, skills, experiences and power into my own. Once that is done his being will simply cease and your fears of Zeref becoming unstoppable with him."
"You have the power to do that … even still you shouldn't have just rushed into such a risk without at least telling someone."
"I told you-."
"As you ripped the soul from my body!"
"Right right well anyway it's done now no use complaining about it, now then about you being alive and kicking …"
"Yes about that I suppose the first order of business is getting used to moving around for real, my legs feel terribly weak."
"Here I'll carry you out but in exchange you can explain this to everyone alright?"
"If you insist," Mavis sighed as Natsu picked her up bridal style and the two walked out of the doors and into the basement of the guild hall.
The moment Natsu appeared everyone who didn't know he had the ability to create portals was shocked, Makarov nearly fainted seeing Mavis in his arms and the rest were simply waiting to hear what he'd done this time.
"Hey gramps found this one in the basement don't worry I fixed her right up."
"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE THIS TIME NATSU I SWEAR TO GOD YOU WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!"
"Relax gramps I fixed her," Natsu said with a grin as he walked over to the bar and placed Mavis on the table. "Unfortunately she can't walk very well yet since she hasn't used her legs in over 100 years."
"Am I dreaming or did Natsu walk in with the living First Master," Mira said blankly as Erza and Elise both shrugged.
"Something like this was bound to happen so I suppose we should just go with it," Elise sighed as Mavis suddenly gained a devious smirk.
"You know Natsu almost died again when he took the soul from my body it almost took over his body …"
Natsu looked at her amused until his head slowly turned towards the killing intent radiating off his wife.
"Care to explain yourself Natsu," Erza said threateningly as she summoned the large mace from her Purgatory Armor.
""Um … maybe …"
What followed was Natsu getting tossed around the guild hall by Erza as a guild wide brawl quickly started up, Wendy was walking out of the infirmary only to receive a chair to the face prompting her to join the fray quickly knocking out the majority of the members by simply removing the air from the room.
After everything had calmed down and Natsu scraped himself off the end of Erza's mace he explained what Mavis had told him and what he did in detail, naturally he was scolded for doing such a thing without even telling anyone but they had to commend him for the idea since there wouldn't be anyone better to hold onto Ahnkseram's power.
"So can you still hear his voice Natsu," Elise asked as Natsu nodded.
"Yeah he's still screaming away inside my mind but its slowly starting to get quieter, piece by piece I'm disassembling him though he's fighting using his own Hybrid's Aura so I can't rush things too much. Eventually he'll reach a point where he can no longer fight back and I'll crush him quick honestly I hope it happens before I face Zeref, given the speed its going now I'd say that's highly likely. You know it's pretty cool doing this I'm learning all sorts of techniques with my Hybrid's Aura I would've never even thought of."
"Just remember how you are obtaining this knowledge though Natsu," Makarov said firmly as Natsu nodded.
"I know I'm literally consuming the consciousness of another being for personal gain but really it's for the best."
"I know it is my boy I just want to be sure you know it isn't a good thing to do to someone that's all."
After Makarov finished speaking the conversation turned to the battles they had against the Alvarez forces, both Makarov and Mavis weren't too happy to hear about Azhrukhal and his creation and were glad he was gone for good.
"So this meeting isn't until tomorrow and I haven't gotten to see how strong you all are, anyone up for a fight," Natsu asked as the entire team seemed up for the challenge.
"If you all plan on fighting it's going to happen on the beach, you lot are the most destructive of the guild I don't think we could afford to build this place again from scratch," Makarov said quickly as the group nodded and walked out the back of the hall with many of the previously knocked out guild members following to see how the top members had improved.
Arriving at the beach Natsu moved to stand opposite everyone else as the entire guild waited to see what would happen; with a smirk Natsu entered his combat stance.
"All of you come at me at once."
Erza and Elise didn't need to be told twice, Elise entered her Demigod State right off the bat with Erza requiping into her Scarlet Dragon Armor. Wendy soon followed entering the Dragon Force and Jason entering his own Phoenix Form.
The rest of the guild was stunned seeing Natsu stand confidently against such overwhelming power, many of them thought he would be crushed but were astonished when he easily blocked all four attacks redirecting them at the others.
"Those had some real power behind them that's pretty impressive."
"You'd better take us seriously Natsu we aren't weak like we used to be," Elise cried as she threw a Demolition Fist at him only for Natsu to swiftly move to the side and knee her in the gut sending her crashing into Erza.
Moving onto Jason he grabbed the kid in his Phoenix Form shocking him tossing him into the ground doing a one armed handstand on his back so he could kick Wendy away who had prepared a Piercing Claw aimed directly at his neck.
"Wendy has the right idea it's the only way you'll land a blow on me, come at me with the intent to kill."
Natsu was pleased when they took his words seriously and began to engage him with their full power; he was enjoying seeing their progress and was pleasantly surprised at Jason's strength for his age.
"I can tell you girls did a lot of team based training but what will you do if you are forced to fight alone, being able to perform both independently and as a team is the key to growing stronger after all."
Clearing some distance Natsu released some of his magic power as the earth began to shake, the ground he was standing on rose up as a pillar of earth letting him look down upon them with a smirk.
"You have all grown strong and you Jason are strong as well however there is one thing I noticed during the fights on that island, there is one thing that you all still lack."
Closing his eyes Natsu opened them as his eyes glowed Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue with his Hybrid's Aura flaring wildly.
"Let me … SHOW YOU!"
Everyone was frozen in terror including powerful mages like Laxus, Makarov and Team Natsu as he began to exert as much of his power as possible surrounding himself in a blackish white pillar of raw magic with only his eyes clearly visible.
The elements began bending to his will as the sea rose up as if rearing to attack, the sand behind Natsu also rose up as a second wave as the earth cracked with rocks beginning to orbit around him as black bolts of lightning began to strike the ground around him with four pillars of flame erupting around him with black tendril spires bursting through the earth covered in sharp thorns.
"We can't let him intimidate us this is clearly a test of our resolve," Elise cried as the others nodded in agreement and began to rush towards Natsu much to Makarov's horror. The old man knew exactly what Natsu was doing the moment he did it and he had to say he was rather disappointed the others didn't immediately realize what he was doing.
As the team reached the outer wall of flames and tendrils Natsu took one step forward as the ground shook due to the amount of raw power he was exerting as they all froze, Jason was the first to crack as he dropped to his knees in fear.
Wendy wasn't far behind only making it several steps further before the terror of what she was facing set in, Erza and Elise however continued to push on as Natsu took another step forward stopping them in their tracks.
"Just … a little further," Erza grunted as she dropped to one knee with Elise actually continuing to push forward.
"SUBMIT," Natsu's voice boomed as a wave of darkness washed over her as the Galaxy Blue colour of her eyes faltered for a brief moment with the darkness actually knocking out some of the members of the guild.
"Wh-what is this Natsu!"
Natsu didn't reply as again she tried to push forward now beyond the lightning layer of the defences standing before the blackish white aura he was exuding.
Elise could feel her whole body shaking in terror as Natsu again took another step forward this time putting extra force into the step which made the tremor far more violent, Elise finally relented after looking into his eyes as she fell to her knees sweating heavily.
"I … I stand no chance … I surrender …"
The entire display put on by Natsu slowly vanished as he reigned in his power as he walked over to Elise kneeling down and placing a hand on her shoulder with a warm smile.
"Any mage can have the courage to fight against the impossible even with friends by their side however the mark of a true mage is knowing when to back down, on that island that Demon could have killed you all once it took control of Erza had I not been there and even before that its power could be felt across the island. This war will present opponents that defy the very laws of magic and you must know when to fight and when to run away."
Looking at the others and then to Makarov who had a look of understanding on his face Natsu continued with his speech.
"Let this be a message to all of you don't go trying to be a hero or you will find yourself in an early grave, if you want to survive this war learn from what you all saw and experienced and ensure you use it I've seen far too many dead because they didn't run and chose to fight a pointless battle!"
Helping Elise stand he walked over to Erza and helped her stand as well before walking over to where the others were standing, patting Wendy on the head he gave her a small smile.
"You did good Wendy I want to talk to you later about a few things alright?"
"Ok Natsu but did you really have to do that?"
"You all need to learn that this isn't going to be like things were in the past, people with presences like that will be all over the place in this war and although they won't be on my level they could potentially at least be on Gildarts' level so everyone needs to understand its ok to run. This guild is full of people who like to stay and fight and we can't have that during a war like this."
Wendy just nodded silently as Natsu turned to Makarov who began to address the entire group.
"Natsu is correct in what he says, the enemy won't hesitate to kill you no matter how weak or strong you may be. Even the Dark Guilds we've fought in the past weren't anything compared to what we've yet to face my only hope is that what Natsu taught you all today sinks in. Now then we should all head back to the guild hall and have a nice drink as a family what do you all say?"
The depressing mood lifted instantly as everyone minus a select few began to cheer wildly at the prospect of partying as the guild made their way back to the guild hall with Natsu hanging back alone.
'Looks like I'm still getting a slow stream of memories … he sure has a strong mind for being only half of himself.'
Natsu sighed as he slowly followed behind the group as Ahnkseram's soul unbeknownst to him stirred within him, chained down in the chair the Hybrid wasn't angry beyond belief instead he was smiling as his Crimson Red and Galaxy Blue eyes glowed in the darkness.
/Alvarez Airship – Zeref's POV/
Zeref was sitting in his chair contemplating the loss of three of his trusted subordinates when a stabbing sensation through his mind nearly knocked him unconscious on the spot.
"Wh- what is the matter … how is that possible it should be sealed within Mavis- yes I know but- I understand its importance but how should I- please …."
Zeref clutched his head as a wave of darkness burst from his body killing all the Alvarez soldiers in the room instantly as he dropped to his knees.
"I will retrieve it once Irene activate Universe One it shouldn't be more than a day at least- I know its importance I just … understood," Zeref said through grit teeth as he stumbled back into his chair his breathing quite laboured.
"This is not good I must consult with Irene about this, preparations for the conversion must be accelerated …"
/? Jellal's POV/
"Jellal we don't have time for this we have to get to Crocus for this gathering of all the guilds," Meredy sighed as Jellal shook his head.
"No this takes priority Meredy Natsu tasked me with this objective and now that we know where she is we must find her for him, as he said the information she could hold is important."
Meredy just sighed as she and Jellal walked through an abandoned town that seemed to be in ruins, the town looked hundreds of years old with most of it overrun with the forest around them however there was one building right in the centre that was perfectly fine.
Walking up to the front door Jellal knocked three times unsure if he would get an answer or not however he was surprised when the door was opened almost immediately by a blonde haired woman.
"Can I help you?"
"I was sent here by a friend to find you a man by the name of Natsu Dragneel …"
The woman's eyes widened to the size of saucers at the mention of Natsu as she motioned for them to come inside, the duo were greeted to a messy room full of books and scrolls with lacrima littered about the place.
"Sorry about the mess I've been quite busy as of late," the woman sighed as she motioned for them to sit down on her couch. "Before we go any further I need to know something, what magic does Natsu use?"
"Natsu has many types of magic now maam he is a being one would refer to as being a God and Devil rolled into one after all, to answer your question I can list some of them. His go to magic is normally Dragon Slayer Magic with Fire being his preferred element but he also has Crash Magic, Requip Magic, Gravity Magic and Transformation Magic."
"He has become strong …"
"Am I correct in assuming that you are Anna Heartfilia?"
"Indeed I am though I'm surprised Natsu knows who I am after what I had to do to him and the other children, you said he's practically a deity?"
"Yes he is a being that possesses the power of both the Gods and Devils now and the only one who can oppose Zeref and Achnologia directly, he tasked me with finding you because he wanted to ask you some things."
"Natsu actually wants to see me after all this time why he'd be a grown man by now, where would he happen to be?"
"There is a meeting for all S Class Mages, Guild Masters, Wizard Saints and Independent Guilds being held in the palace in Crocus several hours from now and even though Natsu is a wanted criminal I have it on good authority he'll be there."
"Oh well then I suppose I shall come along then- wait Natsu is a wanted criminal!"
"He was to be one of the Ishgar Four before the general population found out he was E.N.D and he was forced into hiding for around five years, now that there is an invasion that threatens to wipe us all they want him back."
"So he managed to use E.N.D … very well let us head to this meeting I wonder if the other Dragon Slayers will be there?"
"Not every Dragon Slayer will be there just the S Class or Guild Masters I'm afraid but you'll find out soon enough, we should get moving soon Crocus is a fair distance away and even with my magic it will take some time from here."
"I understand we can leave immediately I'll just seal my home," Anna said as the group walked outside and with a snap of her fingers the entire home vanished.
"Place a hand on my shoulder and don't let go alright," Jellal said as Anna complied and with a flash they were gone in a bright golden light veering towards Crocus at top speed.
'Oh Natsu I hope you can forgive me for not being there …'
What plan does Ahnkseram have up his sleeve, was anything he said true or not? How will Anna's appearance at the meeting affect Natsu, will Gajeel get some screen time? Find out next time on Drago- I mean Power of the Dragon!
