INSERT LAME 69 JOKE HERE!
Ok so first things first I'm uploading this chapter by itself for two reasons the first being that it is the conclusion to the arc but second is I want feedback for something I do in the second half and you'll know exactly what it is when you reach it.
LyHy – I like to think the romance is there but the element I've been going for is Natsu and Erza want to be together however no matter how strong they get or how much they try fate seems to constantly separate them but they still have an undying love for one another, yeah I'm trash at portraying it I know but just letting you know that's what I've been going for in the romance department.
As for the whole mark thing at present its kind of a situational type of thing, the two can somewhat feel the others emotions however ultimately it simply strengthens the already strong feelings the two had towards each other to undying love and devotion.
As for the Zeref thing you'll see that's all I'm saying on that.
Kazuka746 – When I asked for recommendations for the Triumvirate and Gods I asked for them with the full intention to have them included in the story at some point be it this one or the sequel that's why I asked the moment I revealed the Devils as a thing and who made up the Triumvirate.
Also in regards to Seras she's not insane as in haha I'm batshit crazy insane it's more like she snapped due to mental trauma and is recovering from it type of insane you know the temporary type sorry if I explained that part badly.
As for Seras losing this entire scenario I made it up myself though as you read you'll see that, now in regards to other characters from the verse it's kind of an eh type of thing for me I'm still deciding how in depth I want to go since it is a verse Natsu won't be directly experiencing or interacting with in the future.
Sdaniels2340 – Yeah that is going to happen at some point just after they all reunite but it won't be like a serious thing more of just Erza nerding out over some of Natsu's swords and asking to test them out and Natsu obliging.
Alright now with all that out of the way on with the chapter!
I do not own Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima does.
The Old Dragon Slayer
/Draconia Natsu's POV/
Natsu stood before the black knight as it held the spear with one hand out to the side, sparks kept flying out of the tip of the blade as Natsu's eyes turned crimson red and a small smile began to sneak its way onto his face.
"This is a perfect opportunity to see where I stand and how I can improve my abilities."
"Whatever you do don't get cocky otherwise he'll have your head mounted on the end of that spear of his."
"I know Igneel you don't have to tell me twice," Natsu said as his attention shifted to the Dragon Slayer who began twirling the spear behind him as the wind began to pick up.
Natsu ducked as the Dragon Slayer was suddenly in front of him with his spear thrust forward where his heart was located, placing a hand on the ground Natsu pushed himself up and kicked the Dragon Slayer in the face knocking him into the roof of the building though he was already back down at ground level within seconds.
Natsu coated one hand with crimson flames and the other with black flames as he rushed towards the Dragon Slayer, the two met in the centre with Natsu's crimson flamed fist being blocked by the spear and his black flame one meeting a darkness covered one.
The two continued to struggle against one another as large cracks began to form on the ground which soon reached the walls of the church and the building began to collapse, Natsu broke off the attack jumping back to avoid a slash attack from the spear.
Jumping into the air Natsu escaped the collapsing building as he saw the Dragon Slayer looking at him leave with rubble soon blocking his view.
"Why would he just-?"
Natsu dropped to the floor as a powerful lightning attack flew past from in front of him and sliced the earth open, rolling out of the way the Dragon Slayer tried to stab Natsu from above and upon impact set off a large lightning charged explosion followed by a burst of darkness.
Natsu kicked the spear away from the Dragon Slayer and began to attack him with a series of powerful blows, the Dragon Slayer wasn't fazed in the slightest as he easily adapted and soon the two were caught up in a high paced fist fight with neither one managing to hit the other.
"Alright let's see how you like this, Hellfire Dragon Monarch's Destabilizing Demolition Fist!"
Throwing the powerful punch the Dragon Slayer raised his arms and began to skid back due to the sheer power behind the blow, after being pushed back several metres he pushed the attack upward as it hit the rock above blowing a hole in the area fully opening up the ruins to the outside.
"Well that's a first I don't think I've ever seen anyone manage to not only block but deflect that attack, guess it's time to hit the next level.
Natsu's magic power began to skyrocket as his flames became surrounded with lightning as his eyes became brighter.
"Lightning Hellfire Dragon Mode!"
The Dragon Slayer looked at Natsu but didn't react to the sudden increase, slamming his spear into the ground the Dragon Slayer's magic power began to drastically increase as the two stood opposite each other with the entire ground shaking.
"Wow this much power has a pretty big effect on the area at least more than it did before, still I can't afford to lose to this guy so I'll have to kick things up even further if he starts going crazy."
Natsu and the Dragon Slayer shot off like rockets and met in the centre of the ruins both locked in a fierce clash with Natsu holding the Dragon Slayer's fist and holding the Slayer's spear down with his foot.
"I don't know who you are pal but your time is over, Lightning Hellfire Dragon Monarch's Firing Sledgehammer!"
Bringing up his free hand coated in powerful flames and lightning he hit the Dragon Slayer in the chest sending him flying back through several destroyed buildings, the rubble from the buildings was suddenly sent flying towards Natsu who held out his hand as the rubble hit his expanded Crash Barrier being turned into tiny cubes that flew past him.
The Dragon Slayer rose out of the rubble with a purple aura coming out from his eyes and flowing up past his head like smoke as the lightning around him began to crackle and hit anything around him.
"Ok here we go again," Natsu sighed as the two shot off towards each other and clashed with their fists locked in a struggle for dominance with a fissure quickly separating the two, Natsu was suddenly hit by a bolt of lightning as he stumbled back slightly with a surprised look on his face.
He suddenly ducked as the Dragon Slayer closed the distance between the two and missed Natsu's head with his spear, the Dragon Slayer suddenly flipped and landed a powerful kick on Natsu's head knocking him into the ground.
Natsu rolled out of the way as the spear pierced the ground rolling and kicking the Dragon Slayer in the side sending him flying back, the Dragon Slayer flipped in midair and used his spear to halt his momentum but Natsu was right on him and kneed him in the face knocking him away from his spear.
"This thing is dangerous I'd better keep it away from him," Natsu said as he grabbed the spear only to be sent flying into a ruined building. "What, the spear itself pushed me back!"
Natsu got up and noticed the Dragon Slayer yank his spear from the ground as he twirled it behind him before holding it out to his left; he then shook his head before raising his free hand and made a thumbs down motion.
"So he isn't mindless, does this mean he can't speak?"
The Dragon Slayer began to exert even more power as Natsu caught onto what was happening and began to power up as well with his lightning disappearing and his skin beginning to harden with his crimson scales emerging.
"Let's see how you stack up against this, Hellfire Dragon Force!"
The Dragon Slayer's spear began to disappear into his body as his armor began to lose its black colouring and be replaced by a shining gold, Natsu's eyes glowed as he analysed the transfer of power within him.
"So the spear actually was a part of his very being no wonder I couldn't touch it, still I don't have time to praise this guy the others might need my help."
Natsu took a step forward when an explosion went off behind the Dragon Slayer which blew up a considerable portion of the ruins.
"Damn the Jupiter Cannons are still firing on this place I thought Eliza was supposed to be taking them out!"
Natsu turned his attention back to the Dragon Slayer who was now standing on the edge of the hole to the ruins holding up his right hand above his head, to Natsu's shock a lightning bolt formed as the Dragon Slayer threw it right at him.
Natsu was immediately on the move as he took to the sky and moved as fast as he could, underneath him an explosion went off that buried the ruins in a dome of pure lightning and when it vanished nothing but charred earth remained.
"What you just saw Natsu was one of the spells used to kill the Ancient Dragons long ago, with bolts of lightning did the Thunder Titan and his legions peel back the scales of the mighty Dragons rendering their flesh exposed and their beings mortal."
"Hold on you said Titan what's that mean?"
"When the Gods, Devils or Dragons refer to 'those who came before' we are referring to the former so called Gods who roamed the realms ravaging the fledgling lands for all they were worth. These beings were known as Titans and the one charged with fighting and eliminating them was the one who had an advantage in the very domain we Dragons call home … the sky."
"And just how powerful were these Titans …"
"Strong enough to nearly destroy reality itself and one of the reasons why the Gods refused to interfere with the mortal realms for an indefinite period of time, the Gods feared that they would become tyrants over mortal beings and decided to go the worship route instead granting boons in exchange for devotion and other such things."
Natsu looked at the Dragon Slayer who stood at the opposite end of the massive crater shining a bright gold with golden lightning striking the earth around him however it almost seemed like he was listening in onto the conversation he and Igneel were having.
"So if this guy was a servant of the Thunder Titan then that means he's a being as strong as a God, Devil or Dragon also right?"
"Yes that's what I said, why?"
"Because it means that feeling bad about using my Devil abilities is off the table now that's why," Natsu said with a grin as he became surrounded in a crimson aura with his eyes illuminating the darkness.
The Dragon Slayer and Natsu began to walk around the crater to meet each other neither one breaking direct eye contact, as they walked the ground began to crack and bit by bit they slowly continued to increase in power with Natsu's scales beginning to gain black to them as he entered his fused Demonic Hellfire Dragon Force.
The two finally met right where the castle ruins were and many Vampires were absolutely stunned to see the two putting out that much power, the Dragon Slayer was first as a pillar of gold light surrounded him as he released his magical power which began to expand.
Natsu smirked as he released his own which was a mixture of blood crimson, black, purple and orange that fluxuated up the pillar of magical power, the two stood unmoving as their raw magical power slowly moved towards each other and met in the centre clashing and setting off a powerful shockwave that shook the entire area.
"This reminds me of the time Gildarts released all his magic power for me only it's the two of us, a clash of wills always comes before the true clash of strength."
The magic power continued to grind against each other neither one really making any headway as bits of lightning, Crash Magic, Hellfire Dragon Slaying Magic, Gravity Dragon Slayer Magic and Demonic Dragon Slaying Magic were sent flying hitting anything and everything nearby.
"Come on let's start the real fight!"
The magic power suddenly vanished as the two stood opposite each other for a moment before another two of them stood in the centre locked in a struggle of fists with neither having a clear advantage, the Vampires who saw this had no idea what was going on seeing multiple versions of the two.
Natsu and the Dragon Slayer broke off the clash and began to exchange punches and kicks which were all either dodged or blocked; Natsu was the first to land a hit as he palmed the Dragon Slayer in the chin knocking his helmet off.
The Dragon Slayer stumbled back and to Natsu's surprise it was a being that looked like a zombie of some sort, his head appeared almost hollow like with black eyes that had a tinge of gold in them.
The Dragon Slayer didn't seem fazed by this however and continued to fight with the same amount of ferocity, after another series of blows the Dragon Slayer landed a brutal uppercut on Natsu officially drawing first blood as blood began to slowly trail down from his mouth to his chin.
"Heh well then this makes things uneven how about I settle the score," Natsu said as he threw an equally powerful punch and hit the Dragon Slayer in the jaw drawing blood.
The two looked at each other before both disappearing and landing punches in each other's faces breaking both their noses in the process, Natsu stumbled back and grit his teeth as the Dragon Slayer seemed unaffected by his facial expression however you could tell it hurt.
"Fine I see how this is gonna go," Natsu said as he wiped the blood away with his sleeve. "But I have some new tricks to try out so let's see how you go against them?"
The crimson aura returned around Natsu as black tendrils began to emerge from his back in the form of his own hands; Natsu then shot the hands out at the Dragon Slayer who immediately began to clear distance between the two however Natsu's hands quickly caught up.
"Devil's Aura: Fifteen Hand's Of The Demon God!"
The hand's surrounded the Dragon Slayer and with speed no one save the two of them could track the began a barrage of unfathomably powerful punches as the Dragon Slayer used his own impressive speed to duck and weave around it before becoming surrounded by a sphere of golden light and letting out a pulse of lightning sending volts up the summoned hands forcing Natsu to dispel them before they reached him.
"So you dodged that one eh, alright how about this! Devil's Aura: Demonic Black Flame Dragon's Cursed Fire!"
Natsu held out his arm as black flames began to appear covered in his Devil's Aura, the flames travelled to his fingertips as he held his fingers up like a pistol and began to fire lightning fast shots at the Dragon Slayer who began to dodge the attacks.
Upon making contact with the ground there was a large explosion followed by the flames burning into the ground until they disappeared from sight, the flames were designed to burn through just about anything and just one touch could kill you.
"Devil's Aura: Demon God's Trial By Flame!"
Outstretching both his arms two walls of black flame burst to life stretching high like a mountain and slowly began to come together, the Dragon Slayer was forced to rush towards Natsu or else be boxed in and consumed by the black flames next to and above him.
Natsu was ready however as he prepared his next attack coating his fist in black flames covered in Devil's Aura and rushing towards him.
"Devil's Aura: Neo Demolition Fist Of The Demonic Dragon God!"
Punching the ground in front of him a massive torrent of flames tore open the ground and began to snake their way towards the Dragon Slayer who stopped running and began to float in the air as a strange sigil appeared behind him he didn't recognize.
"Get back he's starting to use some really powerful old magic," Igneel roared as Natsu looked up above and saw a shower of the lightning bolts that created the dome earlier raining down upon him.
"Shit," Natsu said as he clasped his hands together and his Crash Barrier became visible as the orange colour began to change to a blackish crimson.
"Devil's Aura: Crash Barrier Demonic Overcharge 150%!"
The barrier was suddenly bombarded with powerful explosions as Natsu even inside the dome began to get forced into the ground due to the amount of punishment his barrier was taking however he held firm and channelled more magic into the barrier.
Outside the barrier was pure chaos as hundreds of city sized explosions went of around Natsu's position, some of the bolts were deflected and hit nearby mountains destroying them. The Dragon Slayer stood there watching unfazed by all the destruction and chaos going on his only focus being on the barrier.
Natsu was starting to sweat as the barrier continued to be battered; his prayers were finally answered when it finally stopped. Letting the barrier down he saw the Dragon Slayer assuming that same stance with the strange golden magic circle behind him.
The magic circle began to release a powerful beam of light that began to burn Natsu's skin as he grit his teeth and summoned a powerful wall made of his own flesh to hold it back, as the flesh held the attack back Natsu began to channel magic power.
As the wall was about to break the attack suddenly stopped as more stray shots from the Jupiter Cannons rained down upon them and both of them were hit directly being engulfed by multiple city sized attacks.
As the dust cleared Natsu could be seen on one knee panting with blood down the right side of his face as he coughed up some blood before staggering to his feet.
"I'm gonna wring Eliza's damn neck what the hell is she doing these things will kill me before the so called servant of the Titans!"
Speaking of the Dragon Slayer he was in a similar position as Natsu being completely unprepared for the outside attack, his armor bore several cracks and it was clear one of his eyes had been damaged due to some stray debris.
Both Natsu and the Dragon Slayer stood up and slowly stumbled towards each other, the Dragon Slayer was about to throw a punch when Natsu held a hand up.
"Hold up a second I just want to ask you something, these damn Jupiter Cannons keep interfering with our match you wanna put the fight on hold so we can take them out?"
The Dragon Slayer slowly lowered his fist and nodded as the two turned their attention to the moving fortresses in the distance, Natsu cracked his knuckles and the Dragon Slayer cracked his neck and the two disappeared in a blur.
/Eliza's POV/
Eliza was not having a good day, tasked with destroying the Jupiter Cannons she was being held up by an almost unending swarm of Vampires. Normally she would be thrilled with such a fight however the area that the cannons were firing on was where Natsu's magic continued to spike which meant he was up against a powerful opponent.
As Eliza cut down another squad of Vampires she suddenly felt both Natsu and his opponents' magic power pause and begin heading in her direction, within minutes Natsu arrived with a being that made her blood run cold.
"But they should be dead, how does one survive even now!"
Eliza was further shocked when Natsu and the Dragon Slayer looked at each other and nodded before splitting off with the Dragon Slayer heading to the left and Natsu to the right massacring anyone who dared get in the way.
The Dragon Slayer took to the air and in his hands he formed two lightning bolts, hovering in front of a Jupiter Cannon that was about to fire he threw the two bolts down the two chambers.
Moments later the cannons fired but exploded from within followed by the entire mountain structure being enveloped by a massive dome of lightning, the Dragon Slayer then began to repeat the process with the next cannon.
Natsu meanwhile just looked beyond pissed as he soared into the air and began gathering magic power, moments later he released a crimson black roar onto the mountain structure blowing it away leaving nothing but the charred barrels of the cannons.
Eliza was just confused as the two absolutely crushed the mobilized Jupiter Cannon force until there were only two left and it was then that the Vampire Prince made himself known.
"You filthy humans dare destroy our weapons; you will pay for this insolence!"
Both Natsu and the Dragon Slayer turned their attention towards him and were at his throat within moments with the Prince absolutely shocked beyond belief, the Dragon Slayer snapped his neck and Natsu blew a hole through his torso and they just continued on like nothing happened.
Natsu took a position in the sky and began to form a black ball of fire above his head which began to expand until it was the size of the Jupiter Cannon structure itself and threw it completely and utterly annihilating the Vampires and the structure itself.
The Dragon Slayer summoned a magic circle behind him and began to float in the air as a massive blast of golden magic came down from the sky and pierced right through the centre setting off a massive explosion within the structure.
"And they call me the Goddess of Warfare," Eliza said as Natsu and the Dragon Slayer walked away from the crumbling mess that was the Jupiter Cannon platoon.
The two then walked away from each other and took positions opposite with the Vampires surrounding them, Natsu and the Dragon Slayer paid no attention to the Vampires around them as they began to power up again.
"So this was your opponent Natsu, I pray for your victory for it will be your toughest fight to date."
/Natsu's POV/
Natsu could feel his magic rising as he channelled it to his fists with the Dragon Slayer doing the same, the two nodded at each other before beginning to walk forward with the Vampires ordering them to stop.
After ignoring the Vampires completely they became angry and some tried to attack only to be killed and tossed to the side, eventually after half a dozen had been killed this way they made way for the two who were marching toward each other with determination.
The moment the two were in arms reach of one another they began throwing punches that tore up the ground behind them, some blows landed and others missed completely however what was important was the context of the fight that was being relayed between the two Dragon Slayers through their fists.
Natsu had hit the Dragon Slayer in the chest sending him staggering back clutching his chest however he managed to kick Natsu in the face as he first started staggered back, both had sustained serious damage from multiple Jupiter Cannon shots and were quite injured however neither was willing to back down.
"So this is the strength of a servant of the Titans huh, I have a long way to go it seems," Natsu said as he punched the Dragon Slayer again.
The Dragon Slayer took the hit and pushed back against it and returned a punch with Natsu taking the hit, the two pushed against each other before falling to the ground. The two slowly stood up again and began to power up again with Natsu's fist being covered in crimson flames taking on the shape of a claw.
"Let's see how you like this, Devil's Aura: Hellfire Dragon Monarch's Piercing Claw!"
Natsu slashed the Dragon Slayer across the chest shattering his armor which faded to dust, the Dragon Slayer head butted Natsu then kicked him in the ribs sending him flying through the air only to hit him in the face moments later smashing his head into the ground with his knee.
Natsu grabbed the Dragon Slayer's leg and punched his ankle as his entire foot bent sideways and the bone came flying out the other end, the Dragon Slayer jumped back several feet and stood on one foot as he looked at his destroyed ankle while Natsu slowly stood to his feet.
"There's more where that came from pal bring it on!"
The Dragon Slayer looked at Natsu and back to his destroyed ankle before placing his hands together in prayer, the strange magic circle from earlier appeared again as he began to float in the air. Surrounding the magic circle four other magic circles appeared but what happened next stunned Natsu beyond belief.
The pillars began to release ash which began to latch onto the Dragon Slayer as his entire body began to almost convert to fire and ash, then shocking Natsu further the Dragon Slayer opened his eyes looking right at Natsu and spoke for the first time.
"Lord Of Cinder's Secret Art: Thunderclap Of The First Lord!"
Natsu was shocked to hear the Dragon Slayer actually speak however his attention was immediately drawn to the four magic circles that were placed in each corner of the larger sphere with a powerful blast of lightning being shot into the sky.
Looking up Natsu saw the clouds part as the dark lit sky was suddenly brought to life and a pillar of lightning enveloped him before shattering the earth for miles killing all the Vampires in the area.
Over ten minutes passed as the smoke slowly began to clear from the area however there were still hundreds of fires adding to the smoke, the point of impact for the bolt of lightning was completely barren as the Dragon Slayer slowly began to power down and lower himself to the earth.
The moment he did however he suddenly coughed up blood and looked down, through his chest was Natsu's arm and said Dragon Slayer was completely covered in purple coloured magic circles with his eyes glowing crimson red.
"Devil's Art: Devil God's Piercing Claw!"
Natsu ripped his arm from the Dragon Slayer's chest and let him fall to the ground, as he fell he whispered something softly however Natsu heard him clearly.
"You are worthy; the title of Dragon Slayer is yours …"
Natsu nodded as he deactivated the magic circles on his body and fell to his knees due to the strain of the speed he used to avoid the Dragon Slayer's last attack.
"Damn I've got to train with that a little more," Natsu said between breaths as Eliza appeared next to him.
"That was a most impressive fight Natsu."
"Thanks but you could've stepped in anytime especially when he did that last attack," Natsu sighed as he sat down.
"I had faith in your abilities as a Devil, anyway I'll help you get back to the makeshift camp that Yasmin has set up," Eliza said as she slung Natsu's arm over her shoulder and opened a portal. "By the way where did Alucard go I thought the two of you were together?"
"We were one minute both he and the Vampire King were there and I turned to look at the Dragon Slayer and the next thing they're both gone."
"I see then he must be fighting the King somewhere he did say that he had personal business with him after all, one day you should ask him about it who knows it could end up being quite the story."
Natsu grinned and nodded as the two walked through the portal leaving a completely annihilated area behind them.
/Earth – Germany 1945/
"So you bring me back eh Alucard, you bring me back to the war at its most dire? Did you bring me here to tease me, torture me; perhaps you brought me here to teach me some sort of lesson? Hate to break it to you but you and I both know this will never end I will always come for you and your kind never resting until I've eradicated you from existence!"
An explosion went off nearby as the sound of gunfire and the cries of soldiers could be heard edging closer to their position, Alucard didn't have his usual smirk on his face as he looked at the Major who stood across from him now clad in an SS Officer uniform.
"I can see that I mean you even dressed for it, just tell me one thing though Major. In that world of magic why did you marry a Vampire and become the leader of a Vampire cult it completely contradicts who you are?"
"Isnt it obvious to bring them all into one easy trap, all the Vampires being concentrated in one world which could be destroyed would have ensured their complete eradication!"
"Yet you married one, had a child with one how does that fit in with your plan?"
"Maintaining appearances," the Major said with a sadistic smirk as he pointed a Luger towards him with several platoons of Wehrmacht and SS troops flooding the area complete with two King Tiger tanks.
"Lege deine Hande in die Luft Verbundeter Abschaum im Namen des Furhrers," one of the leading SS Officers shouted as they pointed their weapons at him.
The Major grinned as he began speaking in German to further cement his position.
"Dieser Mann ist ein Feind des Fuhrers und des Dritten Reches, ich habe auch Grund zu glauben das ser ein Jude ist, was bedeutet, das ser sofort eliminiert warden muss!"
The soldiers acknowledged his words without question as Alucard shook his head before drawing Jackal and pointing it at the Major.
"I have a promise to keep to Seras and I'm going to keep it, I've fought through this war before Major and I'll do it again! Du hast Seras die Fahigkeit genommen, ein Kind zu gebaren. Major Ich werde dich geschlagen und zerbogen vor mir sehen, dann bringe ich dich auf einem zerbrochenen Haufen zuruck zu Seras unde sehe voller Freude zu, wie sie ihre gerechte Rache fordert!"
"Nun, jetzt macht Alucard keine Versprechungen, du kannst nicht einfach weiter schauen, was passiert ist, als du Seras versprochen hast, dass sie vor mir sicher sein wurde, sobald ein Fehler immer ein Fehler ist, selbst wenn du ein Yeufel bist!"
Alucard grew enraged at the Major's words as his shadow began to seemingly emerge from the ground with his eyes glowing blood crimson, the shadow then began to attack the soldiers who began firing upon it only to have the shadow slaughter them. The shadow then went through the armor of the tanks and made quick work of the crews inside them before returning to Alucard and sinking back into the ground.
Alucard then shot forward and slammed the Major up against a tree with hollow eyes boring into him.
"You've gone too far this time Major any mercy I had for you is now gone, Ich werde dir jetzt die Aura meines Teufels zurucknehmen, bereite dich auf die Folter vor, die kommen wird!"
The Major tried to shoot Alucard however his shadow reached out and crushed the Luger's barrel rendering it completely useless, he then tried to punch Alucard directly however Alucard looked him straight in the eye as he tore his arm off without flinching as he screamed in pain.
He then looked right into the Major's crimson eye as it began to glow and slowly a crimson aura began to travel from the Major's eye to Alucard's until the Major's eye was blue once more and the Major was unconscious.
Slinging the man over his shoulder another German patrol emerged and attempted to attack him, Alucard took one look at them and fired Jackal at the centre of their group setting off a large explosion killing them all instantly as he opened a portal and walked through.
/London – England 2005/
Alucard walked through the portal with the Major slung over his shoulder only to be met by a group of armed guards all with their weapons drawn.
"Who are you and what business do you have intruding in Buckingham Palace!"
"I have come to inform the Queen of my missions' success as ordered, move out of my way."
"I can't allow you anywhere near the Queen and who is that man slung over your shoulder and why is he dressed like a Nazi SS Officer!"
"He was my mission and I have brought him as instructed now for the last time out of my way this is a very important mission!"
The guards were about to use force when an aged voice suddenly halted them in their tracks.
"Enough, let the man through!"
The soldiers turned to see Prince Phillip standing there in his usual attire and immediately saluted.
"Couldn't have used the front door by any chance could you Alucard?"
"My apologies your majesty but as you and I both know this mission is rather … urgent."
Phillip looked the Major over with an eye of disgust before looking at Alucard.
"So this is the one who did it then, the one who wounded young Seras so grievously?"
"Indeed it took much work but I finally managed to get him, he feels no remorse for his crimes whatsoever either. And to think he preaches about Vampires being the scum of the earth yet he could perform such a dastardly act!"
"Indeed however he is a product of the times Alucard, being one of Adolf Hitler's top SS Officers during the Second World War only proves he was twisted from the very start," Philip said as the two reached the audience room where the Queen sat alone on her throne with no guards in sight.
Philip and Alucard walked through the large empty hall with each step leaving a rather loud echo, as soon as the two reached the Queen Alucard made his hat and glasses vanish as the Queen slowly stood from her throne and walked over to him.
"It has been quite some time since we last spoke Alucard, two years ago I dispatched you to catch this fiend. Was it really that hard to track him down?"
"Indeed it was your majesty however he's here now and more importantly alive, I have completed your orders now please Elizabeth let me see Seras!"
The Queen looked into Alucard's eyes and sighed before walking over to the window.
"That look does not suit a face such as yours Alucard, Seras is still here within the castle in her room however I do not believe your reunion should be done here. Young Seras whilst handling the traumatic experience has been quite shocked at the lengths you have been willing to go just to ensure that justice for her may be found. It has been quite some time since the dungeons have been used, take that filth out of my throne room and shackle him down there and I shall have someone fetch Seras and inform her of your return."
Alucard bowed as much as he could while having the Major on his back and went straight to the dungeon, after arriving at the dungeon he went to the darkest and dirtiest cell and shackled the Major to it before walking back out and standing in front of the door.
Several minutes passed when suddenly Seras appeared with her platinum blonde hair a complete mess and blue eyes full of pain and sadness.
"Seras," Alucard said as she slowly walked towards him.
"Why did you go, why would you go so far for me," Seras said as Alucard's face softened.
"You know why Seras besides you'd do the same for me right?"
"You've been hunting that piece of shit for two years you devoted two years to hunting him!"
"Actually Seras it's been more than two years for me in our world I've only been gone for two years," Alucard said as Seras looked at him in shock.
"Wait you don't mean to tell me that he had access to the Devil's Warp Gates!"
"I'm afraid so and it took me over a decade to find him and I wouldn't have if the newest Devil hadn't stumbled across him and his growing army."
"He was gathering an army!"
"Yes it was another of his plans for world domination however another world was his target this time, Seras I have fulfilled my promise that I made to you as well."
Seras froze as she heard a low chuckling sound coming from the cell Alucard was standing next to as the Major woke up.
"So you throw me in the darkest cell you could find eh, tell me Alucard is little Seras out there tell me Seras how are the kids?"
In seconds the door was off its hinges as Seras began brutally punching the Major in the face with glowing red eyes as the Major's face showed visible signs of damage, the man continued to laugh however as Seras continued to lay into him for nearly ten minutes straight.
Finally ceasing her attacks the Major's face was nearly unrecognizable although he still had a slight laugh as he looked up at Seras with the closest thing to a grin he could manage.
"You are nothing but a monster!"
Seras left the cell as Alucard took one last look at him before turning around and walking to the door.
"I'll escape from here you know … I'll kill you all one day Alucard, Vampires will be exterminated from all worlds!"
Alucard turned to look at the Major before closing the distance and biting him on the neck with his fangs covered in Devil's Aura as the Major cried out in anger thrashing around.
Walking back over to the door he turned to look at the Major one last time who was writhing on the floor.
"Warum fangst du nicht mit dir selbst an und tust der Welt einen Gefallen?"
The Major began to scream in anger as Alucard sealed the door and began walking towards Seras as he began to tell her about Natsu and the adventures he had.
So this was really interesting to write but I quite enjoyed it and I hope you all did too. This is the conclusion to the Vampire Arc but don't think this is the last you've seen of Alucard or Seras they'll be back in the future.
For many prominent Arch Demon's who I don't plan on fully exploring their verse I will be creating an arc for them that sort of goes like this where it's the Arch Demon going up against someone or something from their verse with either just Natsu or Natsu and his full team being thrown into the deep end which is why I've been asking for recommendations for characters so that I can plan really cool arcs ahead of time.
Truth be told though when Kazuka746 asked for Alucard even though I was already starting the Vampire Arc I thought well I can make something amazing with this and had a whole heap of ideas from the word go but prep time is still nice so toss those recommendations in whenever!
Anyway I hope you all enjoyed the conclusion to the Vampire Arc and I'll see you in the next one.
