I decided after my two-week break, I'm going to update 'Natsu Hates it When Zeref is Bored'. After that, I'll update this fanfic, and follow it up with the new fanfiction 'Our Shinigami Brother'.
84
The giant black dragon landed on the other side of the island and gave a mighty roar in the direction of Fairy Tail. The power behind the roar was enough to cause the ground to tear up. Luckily, everyone was able to get out of the way of the sound-wave before it hit them.
"Everyone, run to the ship!" Makarov shouted, snapping everyone from their shock at seeing the ground torn up from just a roar.
'What is a breath attack going to look like?' they all thought in fear; however, Natsu pushed his fear aside and charged at the dragon.
"Hey dragon, where is Igneel?!" he yelled out while running up to the dragon with a flame-covered fist. "Answer me!" His attack landed, but it did no damage to the dragon. Shock replaced Natsu's anger upon seeing the result of his attack, but there was no time to think about it because he was back-handed away by the dragon of destruction.
Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Lucy, and Wendy ran up to help Natsu fight the dragon, hoping that with their help they could fight this thing. Erza changed her armor to Heaven's Wheal, while Gray created a hammer with his ice, Gajeel turned his arm into an iron club, Lucy summoned Lupus, and Wendy released a sky dragon roar at the dragon. All their attacks had the same effect as Natsu's, but this doesn't stop them from trying. They attacked again and again, but nothing they did worked.
"Natsu!" Gildarts called out while running up to catch the fire dragon slayer as he fell out of the sky again. Once he had him in his arms, he tightened his hold on him and ran back to the others. "You can't fight that thing!" he started scolding Natsu. "That's the same dragon that messed me up! If you can't lay a scratch on me, what makes you think you're going to be able to do anything against that?!"
"But he might know where Igneel is!" Natsu exclaimed angrily.
Gildarts stopped in front of Makarov, Harry, Fawkes, and Zeref just as Natsu finished speaking. He sets him back down, hoping that he won't continue to be reckless.
"Natsu," Zeref started as he took hold of Natsu's arm to stop him from attacking Acnologia again. "Acnologia is not going to know where Igneel is. Even if he did, he most likely would have killed him." He shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, he doesn't talk to humans. To him, it is like you wanting to talk to an ant."
Natsu glared at Zeref for what he said. 'Igneel would never be killed by the likes of this mindless monster!' he thought.
The ground started to shake, making everyone look up. Makarov used his titan magic to grow the size of Acnologia. This reminds Harry of what he could do to help fight the dragon.
"Fairy Tail!" Everyone stopped panicking – and fighting – and turned to listen to their master. "It was an honor being with all of you, children. I'll stay and fight while you all run back to the ship."
"No, Master!" Natsu, Erza, and all those in Fairy Tail said.
"We're not leaving you!" Harry called out.
"That's an order, you brats! Now get moving!" Makarov threw a punch at Acnologia's face. The hit made the dragon stumble back a step, but he recovered quickly and attacked back. Natsu and Harry were about to help, but Erza grabbed Natsu while Zeref grabbed Harry and started to pull them in the direction of the ship.
"Erza, what are you doing?! We can't leave gramps here to fight that thing on his own!" Natsu stopped shouting when he saw tears falling from his friend's eyes.
"I'm sorry, Natsu, but the master is right. There is nothing we can do," said Erza. "None of us were able to land a hit on that dragon."
Harry gritted his teeth. "We'll see about that..." he growled. {Fawkes, teleport us behind Acnologia!}
Zeref's eyes widen when he heard what went through Harry's mind. He spun to face Harry. "Harry, no!" He was going to say more, but green-eyed wizard was able to get out of his grip just in time for Fawkes to flame them out of sight.
The two reappeared behind the dragon and above the ocean. {Good to know you figured out what I had in mind,} said Harry.
Fawkes snorted. {I'm your familiar. It is my job to know what you're planning all the time in case I need to stop you from doing something stupid.}
{And what I'm planning now isn't stupid?}
{It is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard, but in this case, it is our best bet. Now, go and tear that overgrown lizard apart!} Fawkes dropped Harry after he finished speaking.
As Harry fell, he wrapped his body with his magic and pictured his form turning into that of his inner animal. Just as he hit the water, he transformed. No one was able to see what he turned into, but Fawkes can see a gigantic shadow in the water, wrapped entirely around the island. 'Yeah...he's probably wrapped around the island more than once,' mused Fawkes.
Slowly, Harry pokes his giant head out of the water from behind the dragon. Since Makarov was facing that way, he saw him, which made his eyes almost popped out of his head. At first, Makarov didn't know if the giant serpent was a threat or not, but then he saw the lightning bolt scar on its forehead and its green eyes.
"Harry...?" Makarov questioned quietly. It was so quiet that it was only thanks to his size that everyone was able to hear him.
Acnologia paused in his attack, wondering what made the giant human stop, but then he felt pain between his neck and shoulder.
Harry had sunk his fangs into Acnologia and pulled him into the water so he could wrap his body around him. He squeezed the dragon with all his might, but somehow Acnologia was able to struggle.
'Guess that is what I get for not learning how to control this body of mine more often,' Harry scolded himself. {Zeref, can you get everyone off the island?}
{I-I could try, but...WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU COULD TURN INTO THE WORLD SERPENT?!} Harry flinched at the shout, which made him loosen his grip on the dragon. This gave Acnologia the opening he needed to escape his hold. {Oh...sorry about that.}
Harry felt Acnologia sink his claws into his upper back, making him hiss loudly in pain, but also in a threatening manner. {That is fine. I can – hopefully – still fight him like this. Just try to get everyone off the island.}
{Right, I'll try, but thanks to Natsu being reckless I can't teleport them still.}
{I'll give you all the time I can,} said Harry as he is held by the neck, but he used his tail to hit Acnologia in the head, forcing him to let go.
Down by the others of Fairy Tail, Zeref told them they need to go back to the ship, and that Harry will join up with them there once he knows that they are safe. He grabbed hold of his baby brother's arm and started running for the ship again. Makarov stayed behind in case Harry needed his help, but Fawkes followed them under Harry's orders.
By the time they got to one of the cliffs on the island, they saw that their ship was not there. {Harry, the ship is gone!} Zeref said, wondering how that could be.
{Darn it! It must have gotten tossed farther into the ocean due to the waves Acnologia and I are making,} said Harry with a hint of guilt.
{It's not your fault, Harry. You tried, that's all you can do. At this point, we will be lucky if Acnologia loses interest or you somehow kill him.}
{He's not going to leave me must choice.}
{Just be careful.} Zeref and Harry stopped exchanging words so Harry can focus on his battle, and Zeref can figure out where this presence came from. He saw movement out of the corner of his eyes and saw a young woman with long, blond hair sitting in a tree facing them.
"Mavis..."
~Before Acnologia showed up: Grimoire Heart's airship~
Voldemort entered the throne room on the airship and saw Hades wrapped head to toe in bandages along with two other members of the dark guild. He walked until he was standing in front of the old man that reminded him slightly of an evil Dumbledore with that long beard of his.
"Where have you been, Voldemort?" demanded Hades.
Voldemort shrugged his shoulders with a sneer on his face. "I was just taking a walk in the halls," he said.
"Did you see what destroyed the Devil's Heart while on your 'walk'?"
"I believe I saw three weird cats, but I didn't think that what they destroyed was of any importance."
"You could have stopped them, but didn't?! If you had killed those fur-balls before they destroyed it I wouldn't have lost!" Hades shouted in anger.
Voldemort chuckled, "If you needed some device to give yourself power, then you didn't deserve to win."
"What did you say?!" Hades, Rustyrose, and Kain shouted in unison.
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort cast his curse instead of repeating himself. His first curse hit the master, and then he cast it two more times, killing Kain and Rustyrose. Voldemort pocketed his wand and looked around the room for any more life. He didn't see anyone else. He walked farther into the room and towards the window. He blasted the glass off, flew to the roof of the airship, and cast the dark mark into the sky.
Just as he was about to Disapparate he heard a loud roar. He looked to the island that Potter was on and saw the biggest dragon he had ever seen. Just its roar alone is enough to destroy part of the ground, making Voldemort very glad he was no longer on the land. He saw some of the Fairy Tail wizards attack the dragon, but none seemed to be Harry. Then a giant of a man appeared. Voldemort remembered him when Hades fought him in a battle of wills with the magic spell Law. The old, giant man fought the dragon, but Voldemort's attention was brought to the sudden ball of fire that formed over the ocean and behind the dragon.
He saw that the fireball turned into Harry and that flaming chicken that Dumbledore loved so much. A minute went by before the bird dropped Potter into the water below. Voldemort saw the water all around the island darken, like a shadow of something big is under the surface. Turned out there was, because Harry – as a giant snake that Voldemort recognized as the world serpent – slowly came out of the water and attacked the dragon.
Voldemort couldn't help but stare in shock at the form Harry Potter had taken. Out of all the animals, Voldemort expected Potter to turn into a cat with how many lives he had proven to have. He killed him once, only for the brat to come back from the dead.
Right now though, Voldemort couldn't be more grateful for Harry not turning into that snake while they fought earlier.
He was about to leave again when he spotted a ship with the Fairy Tail symbol on it. Voldemort smirked in glee. 'It doesn't seem Potter is strong enough to hold off that dragon for much longer. So let's get rid of their only hope of escape,' he thought as he took out his wand again, and aimed it at the ship. He used the banishment charm on the large boat, and once it was gone, Voldemort Disapparated from the scene.
The sad thing about fighting as a snake and going up against a dragon is that Harry doesn't have limbs. The only thing he can use is his very long body, head, fangs, and tail. Acnologia has a bit more going for him. He can use his fangs, head, body, arms, legs, wings, tail, and he has yet to do this but also his breath attack.
Harry will admit that he was lasting longer than he thought he would, but he was still getting his scaly butt kicked. He knew this because he looked worse than the dragon. He was cut up and bleeding badly, while Acnologia only had a few scrapes and holes that Harry caused with his long fangs.
Oh, did he forget to mention that it was a good thing that he can breathe underwater? Because Acnologia thought it a great idea to try and drown him. The dragon had him by his neck and was pinning him to the ocean floor. Harry tried to wrap his body around Acnologia, but the dragon was not as dumb as he thought, because he is using his back legs to pin what he could down as well. It was a good attempt, but Harry's animagus form wasn't known as the world serpent for nothing.
Harry got his tail, wrapped it around the dragon's back leg, and pulled it out from under him. With his balance lost, Acnologia fell into the water. Harry sprang up and sank his teeth into the back of the dragon's neck. He was going to try again to wrap his body around the flying lizard, but Acnologia fired a small magic ball, making him let go when it hit.
What Harry didn't know was that he gained some of Acnologia's respect, and that is why he didn't just die there. What Harry does know, however, is that the dragon was done playing.
Acnologia bashed his tail onto Harry's head and flew up high into the sky. He started to charge up a powerful breath attack when he was two times higher than the Tenrou tree - which at some point went upright again without Harry noticing.
Harry lifted his head after recovering and saw the attack. He looked to where the dragon was aiming and saw that he wasn't aiming for him, but for the island. Harry quickly found his friends. They have formed a circle with their hands connected and pouring magic in the center. Harry's instincts told him that he should join them if he wanted to live and make sure they survive. So he wrapped his body around the island and lay his head down next to the circle of friends. He concentrated his magic into the circle, allowing the spell to start forming, but no one took any notice to that.
Acnologia was done charging up his attack. He released the magic energy, which hit its mark. A loud and blinding explosion covered the air. Once the light and steam cleared, Tenrou Island and the giant snake were nowhere to be seen.

I wanted Harry to transform while he was fighting Voldemort, but that was too dangerous as you can see. So, who guessed correctly, or how many of you were close in guessing what Harry would transform into? Also, I feel bad for making Harry believe it was his fault that Fairy Tail's ship disappeared when it was really Voldy's.
P.S. Just so you guys know, Harry is only half the size of the world serpent. I made it that way because of his age.
Voldy: You made me sound like a coward when you had me see Potter in his snake form. Me, Lord Voldemort, a coward? You've got a lot of nerves for making such a claim! D:{
Harry: He's pulling his wand out! D8
Enj/Dark: *shakes head* Oh, Tommy boy. Will you ever learn...? *Snaps fingers and watches as the snake-faced man turns into a rat that looks close to Peter in appearance.*
Harry: Now we're just missing Nagini.
Zeref: Harry, maybe you should stop giving her ideas. -.-'
Enj/Dark: *Snaps fingers again to make sure Voldy can't talk and makes Nagini appear.*
Nagini: *sees the rat and starts to chase it.* ~Wormtail!~ X3
Voldy: SQUEAK! D'X
Natsu: I feel kind of bad for him. ^^'
Harry: One of the readers recommended it. ;)
Enj/Dark: Please review! ^_^
