Sorry for the long wait, I usually have my chapters reviewed by the author until they give me the green light to post. I haven't heard from her for more than 3 days, I'm putting this story on haitus until I hear from her... I hope you enjoy...
"i need to know, how much collateral damage is there. Eri may have rewind the environment but it's the casualties I'm more worried about." Sir nighteye said.
"There are a lot of casualties but nothing life threatening, sadly, most of the yakuza are dead thanks to the rogue wizards. The police and some heroes almost suffered blood lost if they weren't given medical treatment in time, the only person in critical is your alternate self." Joanne explained and everyone listened carefully.
Both mirio and all might are devastated by this news, "Mirai... I.. I'm so sorry!" The no. 1 hero cried.
"No... I'm sorry, I should have been more supportive... Deku is worthy of one for all." Sir nighteye has tears in his eyes.
"You guys should know about this..." Joanne got their attention, "the 4th user, Hikage Shinomori, died at the age of 40. He wasn't killed by all for one or a villain, he became a hermit and trained the quirk to its fullest. But he noticed his body began to deteriorate and show signs of rapid aging, he passed it to daigoro banjo before passing away."
"What?" Many look at each other.
"But all might is passed 40, he-" sir nighteye got cut off.
"It's clear as day, if a quirk user received one for all; they will die before fighting all for one because the person already has a quirk. If quirkless receives the quirk; they are not in danger of the problem. You can't have 2 quirks at once, it's just 1 singular quirk. The body cannot handle 2 at once, quirkless have higher chance of living. Izuku having this quirk is a blessing and is one of the very few capable of using it." Joanne confirmed, "so if you have all might give his quirk to mirio, you gave him an early grave. One for all is only for quirkless and quirkless alone." She glares at him.
The former sidekick sighed, "I understand, I guess I have made a grave mistake and should have trusted you more Toshinori. I'm sorry for doubting you, one for all is your quirk. It's your choice, and you made an excellent choice."
"I'm glad and I accept your apology, I'm sorry for being stubborn. I should have stayed in bed and rest, I should put more faith on the heroes... I'm only human after all." The no. 1 hero said.
"I forgive you... I'm glad you see it that way."
The scene starts in the hospital where police and heroes are getting medical treatment, tamaki is outside the surgery room. Waiting, he is already treated and bandaged. Both kirishima and fatgum are on wheelchairs, the red head is heavily bandaged.
"Bro! What you do to look like that!?" Tetsutetsu asked in shock.
Flashback of kirishima and fatgum fighting the strongest 8 percepts and kirishima using unbreakable mode, flashback ends.
"Oh..." The class B student's eyes are wide with awe, along with his bro.
They waited anxiously, a nurse came to them and informed about shira's condition. Her right eye is completely destroyed and they had to remove it along with the bullet, both kirishima and hero noticed tamaki flinched and look heartbroken. His eyes glazed with unshed tears, the surgery is finished and they moved her to a room where they rushed to her side and grasped her hands. Kirishima is standing up and ignoring the pain, her bangs were now pulled back and revealed her bandaged right eye. Fatgum watched the 2 young men held the girl's hand with such delicateness.
Tamaki is on his knees crying and apologizing, both kirishima and tetsutetsu tried to comfort him along with Nejire and Mirio. "She's alive, that's what matters. She can still use her magic despite missing an eye, she won't let that stop her." Joanne explained and it made tamaki a little better but his still blaming himself for what happened, he should have shut his mouth. Talking to psycho paths isn't a smart idea.
The twin god slayers remained unconscious, bandages wrapped around their foreheads and chests. Both Tsuyu and Ochako sat by their bedsides, waiting for them to awaken. Nejire joined the 2 and looked really tired; they nod their heads before falling into a nap.
The 3 girls hoped the moora twins will be ok, they wished they helped better but...
Izuku slowly gained consciousness before his eyes widen, 'Koyuki!' he gripped in terror and snapped up from his cot. A passing nurse jumped in fright when at his actions, "Dragneel! Where is Koyuki Dragneel!?" He questioned frantically while the nurse tried to calm him down, then the doctor came in to check his health. "Pls! I need to know! Is Koyuki Dragneel ok? Pls!" He begged.
This was far more desperate from what happened in kamino ward, a few noticed Joanne looked very anxious.
The doctor sighed, "she is completely fine, she needed a blood transfusion from the blood lost. But her body still held those marks, it seems nothing is out of the ordinary but I can't help but feel something is amiss. I'm not a magic doctor, that's a huge issue. She's currently resting now."
This did not help, "great, without a magic doctor they can't fully help her." Mina said.
"The only normal injury she has is blood lost but it's not enough." Toru is really worried.
Izuku pleaded to see her, he looked very desperate. The doctor sighed in defeat and gave the concerned teen her room number, the greenette almost let out a smile but booked it. He run really fast while both doctors and nurses called out to him to slow down or "no running in the hospital halls". But he pushed himself to run faster dodging people and equipment in his way, he is in sight of the room number and slowed down before stopping.
"Midoriya--" Tenya is about to lecture but was cut off.
"I know, I know, it's against the rules to run inside the hospital but you can't blame me. Did you run in the hospital with your brother got injured?" Deku asked, he didn't answer but in truth; he did.
He panted and gulped down his nerves, turned the knob and open the door. Koyuki is sitting up from her cot and pulling a strand of her pink-silver hair, eyeing the strands of gentle cherry blossom colours of her hair with snow white roots. She stopped her little examination and shift her attention to her visitor, her onyx orbs met his emeralds.
"Wow, they really look like Natsu's hair color." Sero said.
Izuku is stunned, 'they're no longer sapphire but a gleaming obsidian black, it oddly fits her. She now has the same features as her brother...' he thought and remembered the sorcerer's weekly magazine and the picture of Natsu.
"Sorcerer's weekly reminds me of heroz magazine." Momo said.
"Yes, but they are not allowed to explain the wizard's magic. Only for what's it called not details, or the magic council will sue them." Joanne explained.
'strange, heroz magazine actually details the heroes, their quirks and weaknesses. With the hero's permission of course.' izuku thought.
He relaxed in relief at 1st but then his jaw clenched in frustration and marched his way to the slayer, he grabbed her shoulders firmly and scowled into her dark eyes. "You idiot!" Tears welling rapidly behind his sockets till falling from their dams, "value your life more!!" Biting his bottom lip, stopping any emotional whimpers; yet they sounded soft. "Value it as how I do... Stop making me worry..." Koyuki slowly wrapped her arms around his form and pulled him close, he hid his face into the curb of her neck. Whimpers leaving his lips, 'i... I almost lost you... I never wanted to experience that again...' he thought.
Joanne looked down in guilt, this chapter is the hardest thing they'll ever see. She knows they will break, cry and suffer...
"I thought I lost you again... Koyuki." His voice held tremors of worry and anxiety, he shifted back and gave her a worried scowl. "Don't ever scare me like that, dragneel."
The silverette felt kinda bad for making her mate feel like that and the heavy trauma his experiencing.
"This is becoming a constant scolding, izuku." She grinned deviously towards her green haired partner, holding a mischievous shine in those borts-like eyes.
The greenette's eyes narrowed but he just sighed and held a loving smile, "what am I going to do with you..." This didn't go unnoticed and he felt embarrassed.
Narrowing his eyes at her teasing gaze, freckles cheeks flushed slightly. He remembered how he constantly scolded her for her well being, 'do all dragon slayers have a knack for constant danger for their competitiveness and instinct to protect others?' he thought.
"The aggressive ones do, the calm ones don't. But truthfully, koyuki is related to Natsu after all." Joanne said.
"Then stop doing it." He said and embraced her tenderly to his form, unknowingly leaning in close and nuzzling his nose against hers. "I worry about you, koyuki."
Everyone either gawk at his bold move or squealed, "midoriya, who knew you had it in you~" midnight teased the poor boy.
"Dude, that was smooth." Denki said impressed.
"Ah~ amour! Cé magnifique!" Yuga twinkled more and staring at you.
"That's so sweet and romantic!" Pony gushed.
Mitsuki whistled, "now ain't that romantic~"
Mirajane is gushing again and koyuki is very red, Natsu growled. "They love each other~~" happy teased.
"Izuku...?" The silverette's face is all flustered, the 2 gazed in each other's eyes staying in complete silence.
Now this is a romantic moment, the male love interests are very peeved by this while ochako is deep in thought.
Yes, this is a lovey dovey moment, izuku shakenly gulped his nerves. "Koyuki... I..." He was trying to say something but no words came out from his mouth, his shoulders slouch in defeat. "Pls be more careful." He's emeralds begged and remembered how recovery girl will preached about their health with her cane.
"Whelp, there's always next time." Setsuna said.
"But it was such a perfect moment." Mina sighed.
"Good old chiyo." Gran torino smiled, fairy tail remembers Porlyusica.
Koyuki smiled gently, embracing izuku's form. Ignorant at his growing blush, cheeks pressed to her shoulders. "I'll try." She grinned charmingly, their foreheads now touching each other in a way of comfort. Eyes slowly fluttering close.
The love interests are steamed with jealousy, except ochako who is still in deep thinking. 'that should be me!!!' they thought, each picturing how it will go on in their own heads.
Katsuki would shout at her... Obviously a shouting match, 'fuck, how am I gonna confess to her!?' he thought about actions speak louder than words.
Obviously, shoto knows he'll be blunt and confess to her. Mirio will be angry, crying, joking, laughing and confess to her. 'I'm surrounded by hopeless romantics...' Joanne sighed in her thoughts.
Then someone cough making the 2 tense, daisy is glaring with her fists on her hips. The shy nurse slowly recedes away with a red complexion behind her clipboard, izuku's cheeks are crimson red. "Daisy!?" Both teens gawk at the human exceed.
"Daisy why!!!" Mina, toru, setsuna, midnight, cana and mirajane whined.
"They were having a moment." Mirajane has tears in her eyes.
"I need to scold her again!" Daisy shouts.
"But it was getting good!" Cana complained.
"Right..." With a sarcastic tone, Natsu is actually glad she interrupted them.
"You're seriously going to give me a heart attack at a young age, koyuki!" She marched her way to the pink-silverette with raging fires in her dark pupils, "you dragon slayers must have a death wish if you're constantly almost getting yourself killed!"
"That's not true! Technically, it's koyuki who has been in a lot of danger before. You know, she had some pretty close calls after the grand magic games." Bixlow said.
"Close calls! Close calls!" His babies chanted.
"Practically what I thought too..." Izuku muttered under his breath, "how are you even here?"
"I allowed it." Both greenette and pink-silverette turned to the doorway to see Shota Aizawa entering the room.
"Aizawa-sensei/teach!?" Both of his students said.
He is wearing regular dark clothes, his eyes held relief at his 2 students. But scowled at the dragon slayer, "dragneel, your daring acts are becoming repetitive."
"Aizawa-sensei, are those your casual clothes?" Mina asked.
"I don't need fashion advice from any of you! I'd had enough chatter from midnight here, I don't need any of your opinion. I wear what I like."
'i always thought he'd have cat themed clothes but I don't think he wears them in public.' yuumi thought.
"I'd tell you now, aizawa; but pls give up." Daisy put her 2 cents, throwing her own scowl at her smiling partner, "if it's the whole guild like this, it's the whole lot that'll follow." Koyuki had the audacity to grin cockily at the human-feline.
Aizawa groaned in annoyance and recovery girl's eye twitch at most of the proud fairy tail members, "this is what I have to live with..." The orange exceed sighed.
"Aye!" Happy exclaims.
Aizawa, seeing such look from the slayer that confirmed the younger girl's statement. "... I really do pity you, daisy."
"I'm right here!!" The ice and water dragon slayer threw her arms up.
This scene is kind of funny.
"Oh, wait! What about everyone else? Are they ok? I should go check them."
Daisy blocked her path without being moved, it was like seeing a small american football player trying to hold back a literal giant from passing through. Yet their being pushed back, the orange girl is irked by this. Since they really wanted to know everyone's condition, aizawa had to inform them. Although many are wounded, none have life threatening injuries. "However, eri caught a fever. The doctors deducted it's a side effect for quirk over using. She's in quarantine so you can't visit her for now, but I'm the only one who can since I can erase her quirk. Midoriya, I'm quite stunned you lasted this long when eri use her quirk. But that was extremely dangerous and risky of you, your off the hook for now. Not you dragneel, you risked forcing eri's power into your body. Whatever happened to you before, a spell or something, somewhat reverse how you look. In my opinion, the best course of action you both could've made for eri's mental state. Especially, everything she's been through and the sudden new environment may have proven too much for her. Now, we need to go somewhere important in the hospital."
"So that's the side effects to your quirk." The greenette looks at her.
"I never use my quirk before, not after Papa..." The poor girl looked down in sadness, both Lunalina and Izuku comforted her.
"She just has a fever, that's fine." Wendy smiles in relief and Koyuki felt at ease.
The 4 of them exited the room and aizawa guided them to the elevator, koyuki tried to run away but Shota grabbed her forearm and forced her in. Daisy and Izuku pitied her as she turned green the minute she stepped inside, later the doors opened to their floor. The mage literally threw herself out the open doors and heaved in air, "doors to hell! They're doors to hell, I tell ya!!"
Most find this pretty hilarious but the dragon slayers don't look so fresh.
"You'll live, koyuki." Daisy bluntly responded.
"Daisy! It's lazy to not use stairs! It's good cardio!"
"I'll admit it's good cardio but elevators are useful." Recovery girl said.
'don't tell them about the elevator accidents.' the parents thought.
"Look who just arrived." All might said and this caught their attention, recovery girl is with him along with sir nighteye's sidekicks.
Izuku is very surprised, "all might! Recovery girl! Why're you--"
"I called him here." Bubble girl intervened his question, she looked distraught and ready to cry. "Because..." Biting her bottom lip, trying to wipe away the tears bubbling from her eyes, "sir, he... To him, all might was always..."
"Awata." The gentleman centipede attempted to console the woman's whimpers.
The audience has a feeling of dread, 'sir nighteye/Mirai!!!' many thought in horror.
Both hero and mage have a look of dread, they paled at the sight of uncertainty and grief on their faces. "There was nothing we could really do. Honestly, it's a miracle his even breathing at all..." The doctor explained.
This was it, how in the original timeline, how sir nighteye was supposed to die before they were all whisked away. But when they get back, it'll be different. Eri will be safe in UA while they charge in with pure evidence.
The elderly woman sighed under her breath, "my healing won't be able to help either..." She is sadden.
"He's already lost so much blood, and his stamina is already exhausted. He held out as long as he could but... I can't heal everything..."
"I can understand..." Wendy said looking down.
"It's not your fault, child." Carla comforts her partner.
Koyuki paled at the news, "your kidding..." She muttered, daisy could see the looks on both teens faces, they didn't want to accept it.
"Sadly, he won't make it to see tomorrow." Recovery girl sadly confirmed.
Both all might and Mirio are distraught by this news, everyone is saddened a hero falls.
Inside the room lied the man himself, it was a saddening sight of the wounded hero. A mask over their face, their awfully slow breathing could be heard. Wires from different machinery plugged into the man's abdomen, their arm pissing from the spikes ripping it off during the final raid. Gentle beeping from one of the machine; nighteye's heart monitor.
It was truly a sight to see, especially when most of the audience are close to tears.
Koyuki and Izuku stood back while all might went to speak to his former sidekick, "nighteye..." His voice is quivering.
The patient fluttered their eyes open, gently. Almost the action was exhausting to do, barely craning their neck to the blonde's direction. He looked slightly surprised, "all... M-might?" Gulping shakenly, "you didn't feel like coming to see me... Until I was dying?"
"I would definitely apologize for my stubborn actions back then but I never regret choosing young midoriya as my successor."
Koyuki saw the lanky hero's shoulders tensed, slightly trembling before ceasing. Gripping her wrist tightly upon seeing all might's growing sadness and regret, "I don't know what to say... How I wronged you..."
Izuku couldn't take it anymore, "nighteye! You gotta hang in there!" The greenette held a hand gently clasping his forearm.
"Izuku..." Koyuki muttered.
"No need... To be uptight... I... I never held anything against you..." Sir nighteye tries to ease the blonde's tension, "I just always... Wished for your happiness... That's all so... If you've decided to fight against fate... That's fine... In my books..."
Now the tears are coming down.
Koyuki bit her bottom lip, she felt daisy's hand slowly clasp her vacant hand; trying to console the slayer. "You need to fight too!" Toshinori begged, "give me a chance to atone for what I've done."
"Atone? I'm the one... Who's caused trouble... For so many..." Nighteye attempted to smile at his friend and idol, "all this time... I wanted to keep you from getting killed, I searched for a way to change things... All this time... But nothing came of it... There was nothing... I could do to change the future..." Their dull gold's flickered to the 2 teens, "but... These 2 showed me something today..." Causing both to tilt their glum faces, they were taken aback. "I could never clear my head of those thoughts... 'can't change it', 'nothing will change'. That negativity... Was always in the back of my mind, but within thoughts... Is a sort of energy I believe that now... Energy from striving for a certain future... When one doesn't allow for doubt... A vision that strong... Energy from wishing, it wasn't just these 2... Everyone... Came together... And believed so strongly in the future." Remembering the events have changed in the raid, "what we saw today... Was perhaps the results of all that energy centered on midoriya and dragneel." How koyuki and Izuku fight for eri, "the future is uncertain... You've changed the way I think, and that's enough for me. My... 1 regret is..."
The doors slide open, 2 figures rushed in. 1 mirio with a nurse attempting to stop the injured boy from agitating his wounds, "wait! Togata! You mustn't be up and about!" The nurse frantically said.
"Sir nighteye!" He called out.
"Mirio!!" Tamaki, nejire and sir nighteye shouted in surprise.
"He's still injured!" Recovery girl waved her cane.
"Injured he may be, he really wants to see his mentor..." Macarov sighed, "but... He isn't going to make it... You must accept, grieve, cry and always remember... Even if their not among you... They are never forgotten, they will live in our hearts."
Koyuki is clearly baffled at the sight of the young man coming in, almost tripping themselves. "Mirio!"
Izuku is surprised at the sight of his senior, "senpai!"
"No! You gotta live! Don't die on me!" The young blonde begged.
"Mirio..." Sir nighteye rasped out at the sight of his star student, his sad form dragging in.
Even the off screen sir nighteye can emphasize what his alternate self is feeling for mirio.
Koyuki released from izuku's and daisy's hold, she rushed to the young blonde's side; not wanting them to fall on their stomach and further agitate their wounds. Nonetheless, she aided them reaching nighteye's bedside. "No, you gotta live! Don't die on me!!" He cries.
"Mirio..."
"Sir!" He pleaded.
Now there is a lot of crying, "I'm sorry!" Eri cries.
Sir nighteye decided to comfort her, "don't be sorry, child. You are free now, that's what matters. That person may have died for you, but he will never regret or blame you. I would know... You are safe, and that's what matters the most." He gently calms her down.
"I've put you... Through so much hardship... If only I'd been there for you..."
"I only got stronger cuz of everything you taught me! It's thanks to you that I've got the life I do!!" Koyuki can see mirio's hand gripping the bars tightly, knuckles becoming white from the harsh grip. "You gotta keep teaching me!! You can't die now!!"
"Oh mirio, I've taught you well. I wish I could've seen past the quirk and just accepted midoriya, I'd still teach you to be your own hero. Not all might, just le million."
Koyuki bit her bottom lip harshly, tears bubbling from her clench lids. Her tears cascading her face, as she gripped his arms. "Senpai..." Izuku muttered, 'i don't understand the pain your going through... but, I can feel your sorrows...' he thought.
"Thanks, midoriya..." Mirio sobs.
Nighteye, with all the strength he had, he reached out for the boy, cupping their wet cheeks. Using his quirk, "you'll be ok, you'll... Be a fine hero as any..." He saw a vision of the young man, "that... Is one part of the future... That shouldn't be changed." He sounded pleased, the man's paled lips pulled back slightly. Revealing their gentle smile to all, "so keep smiling." Mirio's hands latched onto the mage's hold, sobbing out sadly. Izuku bit down any whimpers from escaping, Toshinori sadly clenched his eyes shut. Tears spilling out, "a world without smiling and humor... has no bright future."
The video paused, "Lunalina, take eri out." Joanne said and stood from her seat.
"What? Why?" Izuku asked.
"Because what happens next will traumatize her, she needs to leave for her innocence sake." The white haired girl took eri out, and left the doors open. "Just like what happened when koyuki got tortured, you have a choice to watch it or not but I warn you it's much, much worse this time." She started to shake uncontrollably, "I will have no choice but to put a spell on your chair so your body doesn't leave your seat, you can still move your arms, legs and body but it will feel like you can't get up. Aizawa, all might, Gran torino, nezu, this will make your grief far worse than anything. But you will see koyuki's past, her true past with a mother, father and 2 brothers."
... "Ok it sounds like you're baiting us to watch this." Kendo said.
"Sorry it sounds that way but if you stay and watch, we'll have to rest for 7 days because it's a large amount of trauma you'll witness. It will break you, heck you might even want to quiet being a hero! I can't skip it sadly, the events are important to the story."
"I hate it when good plot does this!" Mina said, but everyone decided to stay this time. Not just about koyuki's past but they want to be there for her, the other audience are informed and warned. Bisca, Alzack and their daughter needed to leave.
Koyuki placed her hand over mirio's hand, something unbelievable happened. Somewhere in Japan, the amulet of EKED glowed for a second. Soft electric shock went through mirio's body, who seems unaware, and transferred up to the slayer. Nighteye's clock like eyes rewinded.
Seeing that amulet made katsuki tensed, he always has a bad feeling about that thing. "What's going on?" Present mic asked.
"Somehow the amulet and Koyuki are effecting my quirk... And I have no idea how it's doing that." Sir nighteye said sweating.
Darkness filled the vision until slowly receding, revealing light and vibrant colors from the sun. Suddenly a fuzzy silhouette of seems to be a woman, she looks stunning and gradient with that loving face. She was smiling down at...
Everyone held their breaths, "that's... Her mother..." Izuku said.
"She looks like koyuki but older and with black hair..." Ochako's eyes widen.
"Ribbit! That baby she's holding must be koyuki!" Tsuyu pointed out.
The mother of koyuki held up a familiar golden pendant above the small babe, small pudgy hands reached out towards the gem. Baby koyuki giggled softly as her mother smiled at her tenderly.
"No fucking way... It's hers!?" Katsuki said, it looked similar to the amulet. That tender smiled practically took their breathe away.
Baby koyuki reached out for the pendant giggling, the camera zoomed in on the pendant revealing carved initials on the gem: E D... "Koyuki's real name is Elaine Dragneel..." Layla narrated.
"Elaine... That's her real name..." Izuku muttered.
Then a man sat beside the woman, her husband. He had sharp eyes and a proud smile, he got up and head to the doorway of their hut. "Boys! Come inside!" He called out and they can see...
Everyone's eyes widen, "pink hair...?" Momo gasped.
"Like Natsu, that woman has black hair... That means--" shoto realize but was cut off.
"Those are the parents of koyuki, Natsu and zeref! So that's where they get it." Toru said.
The boys came in bursting through the door, they looked very excited and rushed towards their smiling mother with broad smiles. All have black eyes similar to their mother.
Tsuyu smiled gently, those boys are older brothers so they are protective towards their sister.
The scene changes to a joyous celebration in the small village, dancing and cheering for the birth of koyuki.
"Judging by their culture, this is around the rise of society. A rural area of farmers and miners." Tenya observes the scene.
The mother happily swayed in place, watching the people around her dance gleefully. She and her daughter have been adorned in beads, the father is accepting gifts and offerings of cloth, vegetables, fruits, harvests and animals for meat. The sons are playing along with children most of them their age, she gazed down at her sleeping infant daughter. Pecking her temple.
Such a cute scene, even the parents cooed.
The scene changed to both boys having a turn holding their giggling baby sister, he would read the scrolls aloud and both young siblings would listen. With the exception of baby koyuki giggling, then they yelped in surprise as their father carries all 3 of them at once. Holding that familiar grin on his face, their mother would smile lovingly at the sight. Ruffling their hair and pecking their heads.
"They were such a happy family!" Nejire gushed.
"But... What happened?" Tamaki asked.
"A pendant was given upon her birth, born in a small village and was loved by her. Their greatest little treasure-- the 3rd born child-- a daughter, and being the youngest of the family. She was the diamond of their brothers eyes, for that, her older brothers have become very protective and oh so loving of their infant sister. But the families blight of happiness did not last, a fire brew around the village like the rings of hell fire. Dragons, many of them attacking the families village. Ultimately killing both parents and their youngest children along side... Killed by fire..." Layla narrated.
"I'm sorry I asked..." He started to Crying.
"You didn't know." Mirio tried to calm him down, it did not work.
Frightened shrills of terror and ear shattering roars filled the air, along with the scorching fires that spread throughout the village. Everything is burning, homes, people and the dragneel house.
This is a sight to behold, and they can't do anything but watch.
The tiny baby wailed out for her family and flailed her pudgy arms, frightened from the shrills of people outside and the screeching roars of the dragons above in the skies. Embers fluttering around the burning house in the parent's room, alone.
"Ko-koyuki!!!" Izuku shouted but couldn't get off his seat like the others, they are forced to watch a helpless baby. This is pure torture.
"No! No! No! No!!! Let me go!! I have to save her!!!" Mirio tries all his might to get off his seat.
"This is just a video, this already--" Joanne got cut off.
"Who the fuck cares! I'm not letting my frozo die!!!" Katsuki tries to get out with tears running down his face.
"Pls someone save her! I can't bare to watch this!!!" Midnight sobbed with some of the girls, ibara starts to pray real hard for someone to save the infant dragneel.
The other audience are doing the same but their chairs are cancelling their magic, "let us go now!" Erza demanded.
"I can't! This already--" Vivi was cut off.
"I don't give a fuck! I'm not experiencing this again!" Natsu shouted with tears running down his face and everyone looked at him.
"Natsu...?" Lisanna looks worried.
"I... I... I remembered this... I... I COULDN'T SAVE HER!! I COULDN'T SAVE THEM!!" He grieved so hard it broke their hearts.
"Natsu..." Happy sobbed and everyone slowly began to cry, even koyuki. Inko is already crying because it's torturous watching a baby die in front of them.
"Ela! Ela!" Natsu shouted out.
This gave the audience hope, "yes! Natsu! Save your sister! Save koyuki!" Izuku cheered and everyone followed.
"You can do it Natsu!"
"Save her!"
"And get out of there!"
"Save her Natsu!" But the other audience already knows what will happen as the pinkette cries blaming himself for not escaping faster.
Baby koyuki wailed even louder, the black smoke filled the ceiling. It was getting hard to see, then Natsu arrived happy to see his sister. With determination he carries his baby sister to safety, running out of the room, rolling on the floor to evade the burning wood and crumbling rocks.
Everyone watch in suspense praying for the 2 to escape the burning house quickly.
The young babe wailed in fright at the sudden action Natsu took, clinging onto their toga tightly in her pudgy hands. "Natsu! Elaine!" It was both the parents, this made the small pinkette relieved and hopeful. Until... Unsuspecting the wood groaned from above Natsu.
"NATSU!!/DRAGNEEL GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" The audience shouted.
But it was the parents who protected their children... But... Scorching flames consumed more in it's path, the family table crumbling. It's wood becoming chard black with the small flame greedily scorching more of it's black bark, "mama! Papa!" Natsu us trying to wiggle out holding his wailing baby sister, "mama! Papa! You're both heavy!" He wailed out but the parents aren't moving, as the scene zooms out. Both parents have been impaled trapping their children with their corpse.
This made the audience realized they are going to watch these 2 die before their eyes and they can't do anything about it because it's already happened... They started to breathe heavily and their hearts are echoing in terror, the other audience realize this as well.
"Zeref! Zeref!" He cries for his brother completely terrified at the situation he and Elaine are in, both siblings cried, wailed and coughed. Natsu crying for zeref over and over, black smoke coiling around the air. "... Zer... Ef..." We're his last words before going silent; both of their onyx orbs lost their bright luster, dark and dull. The pink boy, even in death, held his baby sister in his arms. The little babe laying limp clung to her brother.
It was quite... Nobody said anything... Then they started to sobbed... Sobbing turns to crying... Crying turns to wails or screams of anguish... Curling in their seats witnessing 2 Young souls they know very well die before their eyes... Especially when it's the person you care or love the most... Joanne was right... This pain... Is far more worse...
"Reborn, darkness has rebirth her to the world." Layla narrated.
Many started to stop sobbing or started to calm down hearing this, "o-of course! Zeref tried to revive them as demons." Kendo said wiping her tears and blowing her nose.
"But such blasphemy..." Ibara trailed.
"He couldn't live with himself... His family died so he resorted to this." Setsuna had to make her friend empathize why zeref is resorting to this.
It was like a person's perspective, eyes slowly opening and the 1st thing they see is a smile. Bubbles fizzled around the vision, causing them to blink. The smile brightened, "good morning, Elaine." This smile belongs to non other than a grown zeref, he has an endearing smile with loving fondness became cold. His eyes held defeat and exhaustion, he looked ready to give up.
"Something's not right... I mean, he's happy but..." Gran torino looked uneasy.
"He gave up." Joanne said and everyone looked at her, "Now that both Natsu and Koyuki have been reborn as demons, he just wants to die... And they are the only ones who can do that."
The scene changed to a beautiful sunny day, a forest where 3 familiar children playing chase to one another. Suddenly, Natsu appeared from the bushes grinning brightly and rushed out of the foliage calling out to koyuki. The girl paused and smiled giddily, she rushed to Natsu and left sting and rogue to continue playing.
"Sting and rogue..." Kyoka recognizes.
"They were all friends." Sero said in shock.
"But... They don't remember..." Yui said remembering they only met at the grand magic games.
The scene changed, a woman with long blonde hair and kind chocolate colored eyes that could calm the coldest of souls. She held a glass vile towards little koyuki, she accepted the item and took hesitant sips, before the woman urge her to down the whole thing. She did so and her hair took a drastic change, her hair turns pure and white like snow.
"So it was layla who changed koyuki's hair and eyes!" Izuku said in awe, but it doesn't change how he feels. He loves her indefinitely.
2 small comets shot from the sky, both landing miles away from each other. The scene changed to when Natsu is looking around and calling out to igneel, then switched to little koyuki looking for her dragon parents then is later found by Natsu.
"What did we just see?" Sato asked.
"Originally, the dragon slayers are from the past. Layla uses magic to travel them to the future, they all landed in the kingdom of magnolia June 7, x777." Yuumi explained.
"That's when they all said their dragon parents left that day but in truth they stayed sealed themselves inside their children's bodies... Which is really disturbing and strange." Tokoyami said.
"So they can prevent the dragon seeds from their body." Dark shadow said.
Familiar scenes of fairy tail played out, "EKED: Etherious Koyuki Elaine Dragneel, the youngest twin of END: Etherious Natsu Dragneel. Her purpose upon her resurrection: to kill her older brother." Layla narrated.
"Joanne is right!" Koda spoke with shock, he wasn't the only one shock.
"Must kill the evil that has revived her, thus bares evil as well for returning to the living. Even if she's a pure human being, she is what defies the laws of balance."
"I don't like this fumi..." dark shadow said.
"Your not the only one." Shihai put his 2 cents.
"Defy the laws of balance? I don't like where this is going." Aizawa said.
'why do i have this dreaded feeling?' izuku, katsuki, shoto, mirio, all might and sir nighteye thought in unison.
"But no matter what, she must never turn into EKED nor allow the dragon seeds to hatch. It would be the end of their dimension, nothing will stop her." Layla said ominously.
"I don't like this... Shroom." Komori said.
"Death... The dragneel is destined to die, suffering, fate or tragedy. She is bound to die."
"What..." Izuku's eyes dilated.
"The fuck..." Katsuki is lost for words.
"Dragneel?" Shoto is both scared and confused.
"No... No... That can't be." Mirio breath.
The girl clutches her head in pain throughout the body, her pained filled tears spilled down her face. Her nails dug into her skin slowly roamed down her smooth, yet scarred face to her throat. Creasing her fingers, "death by clawing her throat." layla explained.
Thankfully, Joanne immediately provided barf bags and a lot of them use it. Same with the other audience but only izuku, katsuki, shoto, mirio, ochako, aizawa, nezu, all might, Gran torino, sir nighteye, the dragon slayers, the exceeds and some of the wizards kept their eyes on the screen watching in horror.
Flames grew around her body, while she remained unconscious from the anesthetics. The embers of the fire floated up unto the heavens, while the girl remained tied to the stake. In spite of the sight of flames, ravenous cries and cheers could be heard. Rising with the burning fires around the dragon slayer, "burnt alive in her sleep."
It was sick having to watch this.
A dark blade stabbed through her chest, koyuki's face held shock till contorted in pain from the growing burns from the fatal stab. Falling into arms that rushed in to save her from the attacker, only to cling to her body. Revealing to be izuku's face, who now held clear horror. Obvious tears of terror in his jades poured upon witnessing koyuki's stabbing and the sight of blood from her wound bleed out, while katsuki and Charles ran past the 2 and to the crazed woman in white dress that screeched in laughter. "Killed by the hands that held her..."
Many are starting to increase their breathing.
Acnologia smirked directly into frightened borts eyes, clutching harshly onto pink-silver hair till slowly pulling the seams of her hair. All while strangling her windpipes, "murdered by the hands of cruel destruction..."
"Acnologia..." Many muttered in horror.
Izuku sobbed out to the heavens, seeming to call out for help. Yet tears of despair and defeat fell in waves, hugging the limp slayer in his arms. Her obsidians, dull from her own life draining away. She bled tears of blood, until her body began to turn into stone. Unaware of natsu's ravenous rage towards the golden god, "killed by her own blood... Which future shall come true? Which demise shall befall the child that bares such fates? Destiny clearly has come up correct..."
"No... No, no, no, no, no, koyuki can't die!" Izuku renews his sobbing.
"Fuck this shit! I ain't fucking accept this destiny shit! Frozo will not fucking die!" Katsuki shouted and cries at the same time.
"I won't let her die... She will not die..." Shoto is both angry and crying.
"I can't accept this! Koyuki will not die! I refuse to believe it!" Mirio starts to sobbed and gets angry at the same time, many agree with them.
The other audience looked at fairy tail, "thankfully, I helped changed that fate." Lucy said seriously.
The scene changes back to sir nighteye's hospital room, ever so slowly, his heart beat started to pick it's pace in horror. He noticed the dark shadows around Dragneel; possibly him coming closer to death's doors. They were dark, bloody shadows behind the girl. It was like a horrific version of strings of fate, coiling around on each digit of her fingers. As well wrapped around her neck in knots like a noose, shadows of death and despair encircling her like ribbons. Many sets of eyes glaring at his being, a beautiful pale blonde woman stood silently smirking diabolically at the dying hero.
Everyone recognizes her from the previous chapter with zeref, "... Hecate..." Reiko muttered.
"Goddess of witchcraft..." Momo remembered reading it from a book.
Next is acnologia, sir nighteye sees the life story of the current king of dragons. The dark dragon slayer, smirked evilly, enjoying the sight of the foresight hero slowly dying.
Everyone was both shock and horrified at this former human being's origin, "a doctor... He used to be a doctor..." Gran torino was horrified and wondered how chiyo would feel.
In the other audience, her cane fell and she was on her knees on the ground in shock. 'dangerous...' was the only thing in her mind on dragon slayer magic, it turned a once human doctor into madness and killed dragons both good and evil. She needed to know why these fairy tail dragon slayers, sabertooth dragon slayers, god slayers and devil slayers are still in their right mind. Maybe it's PTSD from the dragon war or something else entirely.
Last is Zeref, eldest of the dragneel siblings and the one who resurrected the 2 youngest Dragneels. His face held indifference; uncaring of watching nighteye die. His eyes shifted on koyuki, their indifference gaze shifted that to a grin. The most unsettling grin, "your path, your fate, your destiny-- your future, will always come down to me. And you will succeed my wish." He said.
" To kill Zeref and die by her brother's side..." Layla's voice echoed.
"No..." Izuku looked devastated, he wasn't the only one...
" Why...? Why was this child destined with such terrible and burdening fates? Why her?" Are sir nighteye's thoughts.
The off screen sir nighteye is crying...
"Don't do it..." He rasped out, feeling a lump in their throat. Surprising many to pick their heads up at the sound of fear in the man's voice, stunned to see their golden pupils dilate and gazing directly at the youngest dragneel. Suddenly snapping forward and gripping the pink-silverette's wrist; clear panic in their eyes. "Don't do it, koyuki...!!"
"He-hey! You need to calm down!" She's shaken at their sudden grip on her, trying to ease the frantic man.
"Don't fight your friend...!! Don't turn your back from the enemy...!! Don't fight alone...!! Don't succumb to your other form!!! Don't kill Zeref!!"
'he desperately wants to save her... he can't warn her about the future events... I hope the young dragneel we will meet is ok...' all might thought but others are scared of this tragic fate upon koyuki.
Mirio is emotionally shaken at the man's skittish action and begging towards the girl; unable to comprehend who they were talking about. Daisy is gripping her chest, clutching her school uniform, pupils dilate in horror. Toshinori and Shota are stunned to hear that name again after months passed, izuku stood frozen and remembered that the black wizard koyuki mentioned a couple of times. 'why did he say; don't kill Zeref?' he thought.
'because if he dies, koyuki will die as well...'
Obviously shaken at the familiar name, mirio tries to calm down his mentor. "Sir! You need to calm down!" He sees the heart monitor becoming erratic.
"If you do! Acnologia will win and you'll die!!" Sir nighteye gasped out in fright.
Silent gasps filled the room, izuku was in horror of this revelation. 'koyuki will... die...?'
Koyuki grasped the bed rails tightly, eyes wide in horror, skin deathly pale. "How... How do you know that name-- no! What's going to happen!?" She begged for more information.
Izuku was in deep state of deep denial, his body actually felt numb and cold. All the voices and machinery were dreadfully silent from the loud ringing in his ears, eyes dilated and dull in shock, his head shaking. '... all might, now koyuki too...' his body quivered, before worrisome shook his form. '... no, not koyuki. Not koyuki too...' his body quivered, before worrisome tremors shook his form. '... no, not koyuki. Not koyuki too...!' he suddenly forgot to breath, his lungs slowly burned then screamed for air. But his mind remained in shutdown from tremendous shock, tears building back of his eyes, gazing upon the pink-silverette. '... not her too... pls, god, no...!'
Inko cries seeing her son like this, koyuki wanted to run and comfort her mate.
"Sir, let me tell you this." The dragon slayer successfully calms the man's spastic cries, keeping a brave that held a confident grin. "Fate has tried to kill me plethora of times."
"Wha-what...?" Mirio let out a shakey tone, he look distraught. Unable to believe nor comprehend koyuki's indifference to the concept of literal close death experiences, this included all might.
The retired hero was so shaken up, 'i've never met anyone with this bravado nor stoicism against life-threatening experiences.' he thought.
"It's because fairy tail knows the risk of their jobs..." He realizes.
"I just discovered that I was supposed to be dead during the magic games attack, but that changed. And over and over, fate has failed. Because I made my own fate." Koyuki confirmed her announcement, daisy slumped to the floor on her knees. Bubbling tears grew in her pale orbs, aizawa crouching by her side. Trying to snap her out of her frozen state of panic.
Flashback, "the life of a wizard is a hard one, the path to magic is a dangerous and possible chance of not coming out alive."
"I swear you died." Flashback ends, izuku couldn't gulp down the deep lump in his throat. Tears growing and fog his vision upon daisy's and Rebecca's voices.
"It's true our job is dangerous... But it's what we do to protect our family..." Erza said.
"So don't worry, this terrifying futures you've seen. I'll change it for you, because that bright future you hoped for isn't hopeless. I promise." Her words are true.
"... Then who's going to protect your's...?" He asked making izuku freeze from shock, koyuki slowly lost her confident smile. "... You have the most unpredictable future I've ever seen... Ela--..." He was unable to finish, the heart monitor buzzed. It's mechanic noises was only sound filling the room, minus the clear aura of dread. Many of the people stood stunned.
The audience stayed silent, many bowed their heads.
'unpredictable... Future...?' a sudden veil of dread took over izuku's body, 'how am I supposed to know and change koyuki's future if it's unpredictable? What... what am I supposed to do? What can I do? There has to be a way, right? There has to! This couldn't be the answer! What am I supposed to do?'
Everyone looked worried, the off screen izuku is very silent.
"Young midoriya!?" All might suddenly called out as the greenette toppled down.
Until koyuki turned in time to meet his eyes and dashed to him with a panicked shout of fright, "izuku!!" He is now in her arms calling out to him, gently tapping his cheeks. But sir nighteye's warning rang through his head like a broken record player.
"On that day, the intelligent hero and former sidekick of all might, sir nighteye, has passed on and left a dreadful warning to the mage. What's worse, now 2 precious people in midoriya's life are destined for a horrible demise. The only problem; koyuki's multiple routes of death and midoriya Izuku has no clue in which order must be stop these events from happening..." Layla narrated.
Then the screen went black, the theater doors open and Izuku ran out using one for all...
