Hi guys Azza here!

So before we get things started I would just like to let you all know this is either the second last or third last chapter based on how things went this chapter I haven't decided yet if all the stuff I have in mind should go in this one or should be used to start off the sequel since it would work well either way so just letting you all know that this I believe it is now over two year story is finally drawing to a close so get ready for that!

Now for the usual stuff.

ChaosofTime – Nah Solomon isn't the creator of everything it's just the Demon God Pillar spouting rhetoric that it believes since it was created by Solomon. Don't get me wrong the guy is powerful as hell and managed to create 72 Demon God Pillars and can screw with all sorts of stuff but he didn't create everything.

Ouroborosdragon – I literally had no idea I somewhat used Itachi's death scene until you pointed that out haha RIP and as for Natsu at his strongest that's a ways off yet and won't be in Vol I for sure.

As for the Fate elements it may or may not have anything to do with me playing the mobile game and binging all the anime just saying haha.

Anyway on with the story!

I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.

Assault Of The Dragon King

/Natsu's POV/

"I won't fall to trash like you Achnologia I am First of the Hybrid's my will cannot be subdued by your primal desire for consuming all things!"

"Is that so Ahnkseram because this part of you tastes positively divine," Achnologia replied waving Ahnkseram's left arm around before taking another bite out of it.

"Ahnkseram is far too weak to combat Achnologia perhaps if he had a year to recuperate he may have had a shot but as he is now he's got little chance of winning if any at all," Lucifer said as Achnologia placed the arm between his teeth and rushed Ahnkseram as the two exchanged a series of blows before Ahnkseram was sent packing into the ground.

"Fighting that beast one limb down is essentially suicide, pay close attention to every detail of Achnologia's fighting style Natsu for when it is your turn you'll need it."

"Remember you cannot allow Achnologia to consume Ahnkseram otherwise we're all as good as dead."

Natsu watched as Achnologia savagely tore Ahnkseram apart in battle wondering how on earth he was going to compete with that kind of power something that everyone watching the events seemed to mirror.

After being completely outclassed Ahnkseram knelt down on one knee panting heavily as blood poured from several wounds on his body as he looked up at Ahnkseram who was licking his fingers in delight.

"Oh this is the moment I've been waiting for since my inception the taste is almost erotic that's how good this feels!"

"You fucking monster … I refuse to go out like this …"

"Yeah funny thing about that you haven't even managed to scratch me let alone prove you have any hope of winning how's that pride feeling hmm?"

"Fuck you …"

"Well at least you can keep your cool right before you die the one admirable trait you seem to posses I suppose. So tell me O First of the Hybrids how does it feel to die on the day you were resurrected?"

To Achnologia's surprise Ahnkseram smirked as he shakily stood to his feet with his wounds leaking pools of blood all around his feet.

"I'll never truly die Achnologia I survived as a mere spirit for over 1000 years I'll do it again if I must!"

"And you think I'll let you just run off and have that chance?"

"Heh if the entire pantheon of Gods and Devils couldn't catch me what hope does a primitive beast like you have," Ahnkseram smirked with Achnologia kicking him to the ground placing his talon like foot onto his chest pinning him down and cutting into his body.

"I could torture you first if you like Ahnkseram I am feeling quite bored after that lacklustre fight you just put on and trust me I'm really good at cutting things up without killing them outright."

"You don't scare me Achnologia sure you might be someone close to my equal but scary, not a chance in hell."

"Is that right well I'll have to instill the fear before I eliminate you," Achnologia said as he knelt down to Ahnkseram and pierced his right shoulder with one of his claws and began twisting it eliciting screams from the Hybrid. "You aren't scared yet you scream how amusing."

Just as he was about to continue Achnologia raised his other claw blocking a strike from Natsu but recoiling as the attack sliced through his scales. Jumping off Ahnkseram he landed several metres away shaking the arm a few times splattering some blood on the ruined ground.

"Well now I haven't seen that in a long time …"

"How can you harm him when I can't …"

"Because not only did you create me to fight him but I'm a Dragon Slayer, get it I SLAY Dragons," Natsu replied as Ahnkseram grit his teeth in frustration and anger at being so outclassed.

"He's on the money there which is why I said he's got a way better chance than you at putting up a fight but even so …"

The wound Natsu had inflicted had all but regenerated as Achnologia displayed the results proudly making Natsu ponder an idea he wasn't too keen on performing.

"As you can see unlike you who will be unable to regenerate due to the Anti laced within my attacks I have no such issue so how will you overcome such an obstacle I wonder?"

"There is a way," Natsu said as both Ahnkseram and Achnologia snapped their necks towards him seeing Natsu looking almost saddened. "The only way I can see myself defeating you is by commiting the same act you yourself have taken to doing on the innocents of the world."

"The same act, you mean eating people?"

"Yes," Natsu replied as his eyes drifted to the incapacitated Ahnkseram who quickly realized what Natsu was getting at as a horrified look overcame his features.

"No you wouldn't you aren't like him!"

"To protect all life from being consumed by a beast who would consume until none could oppose him I will do what is necessary even if it means embracing that same darkness. If consuming you and assimilating every last drop of your power will grant me the edge I need then I shall do what needs to be done after all I don't plan on surviving any of this anyway."

"Could you actually do it I wonder I want to see with my own eyes as you tear the flesh of the one other Hybrid to shreds and consume his very being within your own! I want to see the look of ecstasy on your face as you relish every last drop of blood and power," Achnologia roared basically giving Natsu the green light to go ahead much to his surprise.

"No you can't-!"

Natsu knelt down to Ahnkseram as his teeth began to become sharper and more elongated sinking them right into his neck tearing part of his throat out as Achnologia cackled madly with laughter in the background.

Piece by piece Natsu consumed Ahnkseram all the while the man watched on unable to scream due to lacking the voice box to do so. Eventually Natsu took his life as the last remnants of his body were consumed with the sudden surge of power flooding his system.

The power he'd just consumed was comparable to his own effectively doubling it as he wiped the blood from around his mouth with his aura sending out white and black sparks all over the place.

"That was perfect have you eaten people before?"

"That was disgusting Achnologia," Natsu replied feeling sick but pushing the thoughts from his mind. "As I said I'm willing to commit any sin to beat you and lay my life forfeit once this is all over."

"Man you aren't any fun at all don't you know how to liven up?"

"Just shut up I don't want to be your friend or anything I just want to kill you and with everything I just took from Ahnkseram I'll do it!"

"Bold words but let's see what happens from here," Achnologia said as a sickly green and blue aura burst to life around him as the two clashed with Natsu converting his arm into a blade to combat Achnologia's razor sharp claws.

"Apocalypse Dragon Monarch's Calamity Fist!"

"Arch Hybrid's Aura: Fire Gravity Dragon Monarch's Demolition Fist!"

The two massive attacks clashed sending the entire mountain range into chaos as the weather turned chaotic with fire and black lightning raining down from the sky and the gravity becoming completely unpredictable fluxuating almost everywhere.

Natsu received a blow to the face as he returned it in kind by scratching Achnologia's side kicking him away before firing a powerful breath attack at him.

"Is that all you have I would have thought all that power would have made you stronger?"

Achnologia was immediately back in Natsu's face head butting him but grabbing his leg before he could fly too far away and taking a bite out of it causing Natsu to grit his teeth in pain.

"Well at least you didn't scream … tastes good."

Natsu clawed at Achnologia's face and thrust a tendril right through his left eye sending him flying back clutching his face. Natsu followed up by letting loose another roar with this one striking Achnologia full force sending him crashing into the ground.

With the moments reprieve Natsu took a look at his leg and noticed it wasn't regenerating with part of the bone having been torn out the leg as a whole was basically done for. Taking a deep breath using the arm he had turned into a blade Natsu sliced off the rest of the leg this time crying out in pain as it fell to the ground below.

"Okay Natsu it's just a leg you can make another one …"

Using his E.N.D powers Natsu created a tendril like appendage that took the shape of a leg though it was clearly obvious it was Demonic in nature. Taking a few practice kicks with it Natsu turned his attention towards where Achnologia was after taking several breaths to calm himself down since the shock of the pain was getting to him slightly.

"You actually severed the rest of your leg that was pretty cool and you even found a replacement!"

Turning around Natsu slashed Achnologia across the chest and received a blow to the face in return being sent flying through the air with Achnologia hot on his heels.

"Natsu hang in there you've been doing a great job don't let up now!"

"I know I'm just in a lot of pain is all."

Natsu began to fly at near supersonic speeds as he re engaged Achnologia in yet another series of furiously fast paced blows with the two finding themselves over the ocean. Unfortunately Achnologia began putting much more power behind his attacks as Natsu found himself on the receiving end of countless blows before being sent headfirst into what little remained of Magnolia forest which was quickly torn up upon impact.

Natsu didn't have a moment to waste as he raised his Crash Barrier to maximum shattering a powerful breath attack from Achnologia who followed it up by firing several smaller volleys the final of which broke through his now depleted barrier hitting him directly sending him flying into the remains of several fallen trees.

With most of his body now suffering from severe burns and missing flesh Natsu was beginning to doubt any hope of victory. Throughout his life he had been on the end of many situations that had left him in a near death state but everything he had now was simply not enough to defeat the monster that his entire life seemed to revolve around.

"Perhaps this is where things end …"

"What are you talking about Natsu the battle has barely begun stand up and fight I never raised you to give up like this!"

"Igneel my body is falling apart and I can't regenerate and that last attack …"

Moving his hand Natsu winced at a large piece of wood that was protruding from the left hand side of his stomach as blood poured from the wound.

"I don't think I can do this but you are right I suppose I was never raised to give up," Natsu said as blood began to seep from his mouth. "I am the last hope to stop Achnologia if he gets me then the world is going to fall and so I must stand tall as the flag bearer of hope that the countless races will still have a place to call home."

Shakily rising to his feet Achnologia landed several feet away from him with a sinister smile on his face. Releasing his aura Natsu began powering up an attack one that took the smile off Achnologia's face.

"Arch Hybrid's Aura: Dragon Monarch's Secret Art – The Five Elemental Dragon Vanguard!"

From Natsu's back spurted a crimson coloured Dragon made of pure flame followed by a purple coloured one made of condensed Gravity. Following that was another bright yellow Dragon made from Lighting with a pitch Black Dragon and pure White Dragons following soon after as they coiled around Natsu's body like a protective shield.

"Wasn't there some idiot in Ahnkseram's little empire who could do that trick?"

"Yeah there was but mine is different," Natsu sighed coughing up some blood. "His were only able to crash into their target making them weak but mine are made to last even if they are bound to my body."

"So they are stuck to your back then?"

"They are fuelled by my own power which keeps them up and active so yeah they have to be for this to work. Now GO," Natsu said as he pointed at Achnologia with the Lightning, Fire and Demonic Dragons rushing forward striking Achnologia with blinding speed.

"Not a bad move since you clearly aren't going to be mobile any longer creating a defence was the best choice."

"Yeah well we'll see how long it lasts," Natsu sighed as Achnologia punched one of the Dragons knocking it back.

The two Dragons that stayed by Natsu's side fired their respective element version of a Dragon's Roar which although not as strong as it would have been had Natsu done it directly was still powerful enough to cause serious damage nonetheless.

"So you plan on hiding behind your little defence from now on do you well then perhaps I should end this little game what do you say?"

"Do whatever you like Achnologia I'm not backing down!"

"Alright then time to show you the true meaning of fear; tremble before the might of Achnologia!"

Natsu felt the last bits of hope begin to drain away as Achnologia began to enter his Dragon form which now towered over him with a sickening grin as he licked his front teeth.

"Right then now to get rid of this pathetic display you call a defence," Achnologia said as he took a swipe at Natsu cleaving right through all five elemental Dragons and slicing open his stomach as he was sent flying towards Magnolia.

Skidding to a stop in a destroyed battlefield Natsu lay there in agony looking at what was essentially his guts which had been strewn on the ground in front of him. He had no clue how he was even conscious let alone alive though he chalked it up to fate being cruel even in his final moments.

Achnologia landed next to him with his large head leering down at his weakened form roaring with laughter.

"And so the hero fails miserably and I win both you and Ahnkseram were absolutely pathetic but at least you gave me a workout I suppose so that's something. Now then time to claim what is rightfully mine!"

Natsu sighed as Achnologia's jaws came closer and closer simply resigned to his fate when an explosion went off sending Achnologia skidding back a fair distance.

Opening his eyes Natsu saw a large purple form in front of him that took him a moment to recognize.

"Lykyria!"

Gravity Dragon Monarch

Lykyria

"It pains me to see one of the only humans I genuinely liked in such a sorry state the burden of Achnologia should not be yours alone to bear Natsu."

"Well well if it isn't Lykyria the Gravity Dragon Monarch I've been looking for you for quite a long time!"

"I know you have Achnologia and your search ends today because on this day your nonsense ends!"

"HAH what absolute nonsense the one foretold to slay me lies on deaths door behind you and you are about to be added to my collection!"

"Don't worry about Natsu he will be in the best care until he can get back out here with the rest of us but until then we shall keep you occupied!"

"We, what do you mean we?"

"You didn't think I would be foolish enough to challenge you alone did you," Lykyria replied almost smugly as several more roars alerted both Natsu and Achnologia to the arrival of more Dragons.

"Lykyria is right today will be the day you die Achnologia!"

White Dragon King

Weisslogia

"Indeed we have hidden away for far too long and left the burden on the shoulders of one for far too long."

Shadow Dragon King

Skiadrum

"If there were anyone I'd stick my neck out for it would be the one who set Gajeel back on the right path!"

Metal Dragon Monarch

Metalicana

"As Natsu defended and moulded my young Wendy into a fine young woman so too shall I defend Natsu in turn for he is indeed worthy of the Dragon's respect!"

Sky Dragon Monarch

Grandina

Natsu suddenly felt a sharp pain wrack through his body as a jet of red flame burst forth from his chest followed by the loudest roar yet as a massive red Dragon landed at the head of the other Dragons.

"The time for hiding is done we can no longer sit by and watch you attack and kill off the children we worked so hard to raise this is where we make our stand!"

Former Fire Dragon Monarch

Igneel

"They're all here," Natsu said weakly as his vision began to fail him.

"NATSU!"

Though he could no longer see clearly he could smell the scent of Wendy as well as several others including Elise, Irene, Gildarts and most importantly Erza who seemed to be frozen in shock.

"So you've all come …"

"My God Natsu what have you done to yourself," Gildarts muttered in shock as Wendy and Irene moved everyone away from him.

"We need to fix this wound immediately if we want any chance of him surviving at all let alone getting back on the battlefield. You are a master of healing you can take all the magic you need from me," Irene said quickly as Natsu felt both her and Wendy fiddling around with his guts.

As Natsu began to feel the effects of healing magic slowly mending his insides the Dragons seemed to be having an intense conversation that he tried his best to listen to.

"So all the failures came at last then I must say I'm quite flattered all of you feel like attacking just me I truly don't know what to say! Then again it just goes to show how weak you all truly are that you'd need to gang up on me like this doesn't it?"

"You don't deserve a fair fight Achnologia and even then you took out most of the Dragons we aren't foolish enough to believe you'd just be defeated by one of us," Igneel shot back as Achnologia burst into laughter.

"At least you lot aren't as foolish as the brat down there who thought he could defeat me then again it was you lot as well as the Gods and Devils who fed him stories about defeating me so perhaps you all came to try your hand at redeeming yourselves hmm?"

Natsu couldn't help but accept what Achnologia had said as the truth after all he was told by almost everyone that he would be able to beat Achnologia and yet he was utterly crushed before his might.

"Enough of this Achnologia we aren't here to debate we are here to try our hand at eliminating you," Igneel said as the Dragons began taking to the air followed by Achnologia as they began fighting leaving the humans and Natsu on the ground trying to heal Natsu as best they could.

"What he said had some truth …"

"What was that Natsu," Wendy asked softly as Natsu raised his arm in the air motioning for her to hold it to which she did so swiftly.

"Achnologia was right about the last point he made I was being told by everyone I could beat him and yet even with all of Ahnkseram's power on top of my own he swatted me away like nothing."

"Natsu you can't be serious," Irene said as he simply nodded his head. "You are the best hope we have of defeating him even the Dragons know this they told us to aid you to get you back in the fight!"

"Even if you fix my body to working order I'm no real match the moment he went into that Dragon form it was over I don't stand a chance against him. I'd resigned myself to die in this battle and yet even using techniques that could backfire and kill me didn't even matter."

"Did I just hear that right you were resolved to die," Erza questioned icily as he sensed her approaching.

"Yes Erza I said exactly that and don't go stamping your feet up and down about it because this is the life we live as mages each and every day. The risk that any one of us could be killed on a job or be assassinated is high despite what lies we tell ourselves in our little fantasies. I promised you I would return because saying goodbye almost seals the deal and in many ways that was my false hope of actually winning this thing."

Natsu felt a hard slap across his cheek followed by the sound of a scuffle as his cheek began to sting.

"What the hell is wrong with you Natsu Dragneel this is not the man I fell for the Natsu I know never spoke in such a manner! My Natsu would simply get up and beat the everlasting crap out of anything and everything that stood in his way! Remember when Jellal had me kidnapped you tore apart Demons and took a blast from Etherion for me! Remember when Cobra poisoned me and you tore apart their guild even going as far as to fight a God! Remember when you demolished a Wizard Saint because he harmed Fairy Tail where has all that confidence and pride gone!"

"Erza leave Natsu be he's-."

"No I won't leave him be Elise he's being an absolute idiot and I won't stand for it. Natsu Dragneel you stop moping around this instant, use all your power to recover as fast as possible and get back on that damn battlefield or so help me I won't ever have sex with you again!"

Everyone in the area either blushed or looked away at the embarrassing statement until they heard the faint sound of chuckling from Natsu which soon turned into full blown laughter.

"Well then I suppose I have no choice now do I though I should probably let you know that you should get off the battlefield as soon as possible Erza. Elise use your God's Aura and look at Erza's magic core and you'll see why."

Elise activated her aura and looked right at her core with her jaw dropping moments later.

"N-n-no way!"

"Can I count on you to make sure she doesn't partake in the rest of the war?"

"Hold on a minute what's this about I don't understand?"

"Erza Natsu and I can see life through our eyes, well we can see life as magic anyway and you see humans have one magic core but you have a much smaller one within you which means … well Erza congratulations you're pregnant."

Erza just stared at Elise gaping like a fish as Natsu began laughing again which caused her to walk over and kick him in the face.

"This isn't funny you idiot how long have you known!"

"Uh earlier today but I wasn't too sure since I only got a small glimpse of it."

The sound of ear piercing roars broke the momentary silence that had descended upon the gathered group until Erza finally spoke up.

"Natsu you must do everything you can to get rid of Achnologia I don't care what it is I won't bring a child into a world that is doomed to destruction."

Natsu's grin faded replaced with a stern expression as he nodded still unable to see anything.

"I understand Erza don't worry I'll make everything safe for our child I swear upon my life."

"Do not worry human Achnologia will fall this day now that you have knocked some sense back into Natsu here."

"Is that … Xicor!"

God Of All Dragons

Xicor

"Yes Natsu I'm here and I'm aware of how many rules I am breaking but I will not stand idly by any longer and so I am here to enter the fray along with the others but before I do I need to give you something but first let me fix that eyesight of yours."

Gently placing a claw on Natsu's forehead his vision came back into focus as he saw Xicor looming over him.

"Now listen to me what I'm about to give you is something you need for us to execute the final plan that we Dragons came up with before we entered the fray. First of all you need to absorb these crystal lacrima here."

"What are they?"

"These are what Achnologia is after from us Dragons Natsu these are our magic cores that I have removed and placed into crystal form. They are designed to shatter and grant you a temporary boost in power that should be enough for you to pull off the finishing move on Achnologia but I'll let Felicity tell you more since she is heavily involved in this I have a battle to join."

Xicor stretched his wings and took flight as Felicity's voice entered Natsu's own mind.

"Alright Natsu listen we decided to tell you this in secret because literally all your friends will oppose this idea because the odds of your survival are … slim at best. As you know Achnologia must follow the rules set by this realm even though he is made of Anti and so between myself, Xicor and the other Dragons we have devised a plan that will either work or lead to the end of everything."

"Well that's basically what we're at now so lay it on me."

"There is a realm Natsu where time pools for lack of a better description. Inside this realm time crashes all over the place chaotically and anything thrown in there would no doubt wind up dead or scattered across all time like dust so we plan to throw Achnologia in there."

"Well that's a plan something we didn't have before," Natsu mentally sighed. "So when do we put this plan into action?"

"The Dragons aren't strong anymore since they have been steadily leaking their power to you Dragon Slayers and Xicor although he hasn't told anyone yet has stepped down from the position of God of Dragons so that Achnologia cannot gain the Gods Aura with his lacrima in your hands. The moment you are able to stand you are to absorb the lacrima and rush toward the battlefield. As we speak Metalicana and Weisslogia have already fallen and Ahnkseram s aware they have hidden their lacrima so you do not have much time."

"I see … I understand what needs to be done."

"When I open the portal to the realm known as the Ravine of Time you must quite literally drag Achnologia into that realm and I shall seal it shut behind you. I'm sorry things have to end up this way but there simply is no other way to defeat him at this point. In Equilibrius everyone is panicking because of how easily you were defeated please defeat Achnologia Natsu you are our only hope!"

Natsu nodded his head as he felt the work on his insides cease. Grabbing the bits of skin that had been split apart Natsu used his flames to cauterize the wound ignoring the pain much to everyone's shock.

Looking to his right where the lacrima had been left by Xicor Natsu inserted them into his chest one by one and stood up looking towards the battlefield once more.

"Thank you all for aiding me I've got a way to beat Achnologia now. All of you need to run as far away as possible I don't know what's gonna happen once this kicks off."

"Natsu …"

Seeing Erza's worried look Natsu smiled as he gave her a deep passionate kiss placing a hand over her stomach.

"Thanks for slapping some sense into me I have to make this world safe for our child that comes above all else. This isn't goodbye Erza I will come back to you I promise."

"Natsu what are you doing?"

"Oh you know something reckless like always," he replied with the same cheeky grin as another ear piercing roar could be heard signalling the death of yet another Dragon. "I don't have much time I've got to go."

"Oi Natsu!"

"Yeah what is it old man?"

Gildarts gave him a knowing look seeing exactly what Natsu was planning on doing as he took several steps forward standing face to face with him before pulling him into a hug.

"You've always made me so proud Natsu and not a day goes by I'm not glad you and I ran off all those years ago. You've truly come into your own and are a perfect example of what a man ought to aspire to become. I may never get another chance to say this but thanks for everything Natsu you truly are the light that turned my life around even if it doesn't seem like it."

"God damn it old man why do you have to go and make things all emotional," Natsu sniffed as the two ceased the hug and fist bumped. "By the way I don't know if you know this or not but gramps is dead which makes me Master again and since I'm going off to be an idiot should I not come back you will be Master Gildarts and please try to do the job this time."

"If that's what you want Natsu I'll do it," Gildarts said as Natsu turned to Wendy.

"I have a gift for you I was saving for your birthday but today will have to do I guess," Natsu said as he tapped her on the forehead making her gasp in shock. "Location of the Sky Dragon Temple complete with the tablet containing all the knowledge of the Sky Dragons. Also take this for my kid should I not return because if I can't teach them then you or Gajeel should be the ones to do it."

Procuring a book from his requip space and handing it to her Wendy's eyes shot up to her hairline as she looked between Natsu and the book.

"You really aren't coming back are you this is the knowledge of the Fire Dragons!"

Natsu simply smiled and ruffled her hair before turning to Elise giving her a warm smile.

"If I don't return I name you the Godmother of our child Elise I think you've more than earned that right I mean hell you're practically our sister at this point freeloading in our house when we had one not that we cared at all but you know what I mean."

"Thank you Natsu I'll do my best to help raise your kid," Elise sniffed as Natsu began walking towards the battle as yet another ear piercing roar hit the group's ears.

"Well duty calls I suppose," Natsu said as he activated his Hybrid's Aura and darted over to where the Dragons were battling and upon arriving he was shocked at the carnage before him.

Only two Dragons remained those being Igneel and Xicor both heavily wounded as Achnologia slowly advanced on them. The body parts of the other Dragons littered the area causing Natsu to shed a silent tear for them.

"How weak and feeble you lot have become over the years especially you two who would have once given me a good fight now couldn't even last more than ten minutes!"

"Well to be fair most of our power is gone so we didn't have much of a chance anyway," Igneel huffed.

"All that mattered was us buying time which we have done so successfully," Xicor added as Igneel collapsed from his injuries.

Achnologia scanned the area and saw Natsu leap onto Igneel's head standing just near his one remaining eye for the Dragon's last few moments.

"Ah Natsu there you are I've been waiting for you to get up off your ass."

"Yeah I'm here now Igneel."

"Good good … you know what you have to do?"

"Yeah I'm ready for it," Natsu replied placing a hand on the old Dragon's face.

"I know I've always been an asshole to you in the worst of times Natsu but you know I truly saw you as a son and successor and just wanted you to succeed."

"Damn it why does everyone have to get all emotional today," Natsu sniffed as Igneel made a low rumbling noise reminiscent of chuckling.

"By the way I noticed no one has mentioned this to you yet but Happy Birthday Natsu though as far as birthdays go this has to be the worst one of all."

"Actually Igneel you want to know the Ironic part about all this, the first time I died it was my birthday as well. Strange how things come full circle isn't it."

"I didn't know you originally died on your birthday no one ever told me that is such a shame."

"Yeah well it doesn't really matter now but thanks anyway."

"Did you ever pick a successor to the flame Natsu?"

"Well my successor isn't born yet but I've given the book I copied all the knowledge from to Wendy so that she can teach them when they are ready."

"I suppose that will do … well looks like this is it for me Natsu sorry I was too weak to handle this burden myself."

"You are forgiven Igneel the Anti is simply far too strong to contend with I understand why things ended up this way."

"If there is another side after all this … I hope that … I'll see you there … son," Igneel sighed as he slowly closed his eye and spoke no more signalling his passing.

"Goodnight … Dad."

Achnologia meanwhile found the scene highly amusing and began laughing openly prompting Natsu to focus his attention on the colossal sized monster.

"Aww what are you gonna do Dragneel not even the Dragon God could stop me if you want I can slice you open again!"

"That won't be happening again Achnologia this time you're finished! Xicor how much longer do you have?"

"Struggling to stand and I can't see properly," he replied as Natsu nodded.

"So I guess it's time then?"

"Go ahead and do it Natsu and good luck," Xicor said as he collapsed from his injuries.

"Oh so you lot have a plan then it doesn't matter what you lot do to me I cannot be defeated by even a trillion of you insects!"

"Felicity do it now!"

Behind Achnologia a large yellow portal with ethereal numbers and gears pouring out of it opened up garnering Achnologia's attention.

"What the hell is that!"

"This is your end Achnologia," Natsu said as he felt the lacrima shatter one by one with the power of all the slain Dragons flowing through him. "This time there is no escape for you!"

Natsu became cloaked in a rainbow coloured flame as he charged forward with such speed not even Achnologia could track it.

"Arch Hybrid's Aura: Dragon Monarch's Final Art - Rainbow Road!"

As Natsu charged forward the rainbow flames around Natsu turned into a Dragon the same size as Achnologia ramming into the Apocalypse Dragon full force as he dug his heels into the ground in an attempt to halt his movement only to find himself unable to halt it at all.

"What type of power is this no magic can affect me!"

"This is the power you sorely underestimated Achnologia the power of all those who gave their lives to end tyranny and fear and instil order and hope!"

Achnologia quickly realized time was running out as his tail entered the portal and he managed to finally halt his progress as the two pushed against each other using everything they had.

"COME ON JUST A LITTLE FURTHUR!"

"I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS I AM ACHNOLOGIA THE APOCALYPSE INCARNATE, THE MANIFESTATION AND WILL OF ANTI I SHALL NEVER LOSE TO MORTAL MAGIC!"

Natsu could feel the magic beginning to wane as Achnologia slowly began pushing him back when half his power suddenly vanished.

"MASTER DON'T GIVE UP!"

Achnologia was pushed back as a second albeit smaller form of the Rainbow Road crashed into Achnologia pushing him through the portal until only his head and front legs remained.

"Seilah!"

"I am your servant Master even in death wherever you go I shall follow now let us destroy this monster once and for all!"

Natsu nodded now more determined than ever as he and Seilah juggled the power between each other slowly forcing Achnologia through the portal as they too were sucked into the endless abyss of time with their magic instantly vanishing.

The portal immediately closed once the three were inside the Ravine of Time truly marking the end of the war on Earthland as the conflict continued elsewhere.

So yeah that happened.

Basically this marks the actual conclusion of the war part of the final arc but there are at least one of possibly two chapters to go I'm still deciding since I feel some of it to be unnecessary but we'll see.

If I cut out the unnecessary stuff then the next chapter will be the last chapter if not then the one after the next one will be we'll see how it goes but I truly hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
