Chapter 52: Final Death and Revival

Mavis got on her knees and was close to Zeref. "Listen up as the first master and Founder of Fairy Tail...you crossed a lot of lines and hurt my friends even our allies...what did you is beyond forgiveness...therefore I'll be the one to erase you from this world.'

Luffy sat down in a cross-leg position and Ace stood by.

Zeref smiled sadly. "Alas, but, we all know I can't die because of my curse...my wounds will heal and I'll be standing again."

"To you remember I missed the mark..." Zeref was puzzled by what she meant by that but decided to listen to her. "I didn't believe in you back then and for that proof...the curse of contradiction took my life and mine alone..." She placed her hand on her chest. "But, even though you're under the same curse as me...I wasn't able to take your life."

Ace put his hand under his chin. "Guess that makes sense."

"Some part of me must not have believed you...I didn't have enough strength to love..." Mavis had a sad look on her face. "If my love was strong we would've been able to rest together.

Zeref chuckled at Mavis' words. "There's no need to worry about that even after all those years I still remember our times together..." Images of Roger, Oden, and the rest of the Roger Pirates flashed into his mind. "The third world I was in...I did manage to make some more friends even though my time with them was short."

Mavis was glad to hear that. "I see...I'm glad that you were able to make more friends too." She noticed Zeref's smile became a sad one. "Alas...my time with them has stopped due to an incident I was forced to leave that world leaving my new friends behind...though, not a day goes by that I think of them. I can remember one female scientist I was able to bond with...her name...Marie..."

Mavis felt somewhat jealous as her cheeks puffed up which Zeref noticed and gave a light chuckle. "Don't worry...she was just a friend...anyway if you're wondering what that world was...I call it the world of Science and Magic...the city that dwells within that world..Academy...City..."

Luffy was intrigued. "Academy...City..."

"I see that you're still here...yes...Academy City was a place with advanced technology and machinery that I had never seen before...it was a beautiful city though it had a dark side to it...but still my time there was memorable" Zeref described. "As you probably guessed, I created demons with the help of the scientists, though, the magicians found out about my creations and decided to wipe them out even if it meant killing the my fellow scientist team."

"What became of this Marie girl?" Ace asked.

Zeref sighed softly. "I'm not sure. Honestly, I can probably guess that she's no more."

Mavis decided to continue what she was saying. "Anyway, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to take your life with me...we did this war would have never happened...both sides have suffered greatly from it."

"Not true..." Ace spoke getting the ghost girl to look in his direction. "The good thing that came in this war is that I was able to see my brother again and I'm sure the others that got to see their loved ones feel the same way."

Zeref had his word to say. "Mavis, I think the reason that you weren't able to kill me wasn't love...it was compassion..."

Mavis shook her head. "No true...I felt conflicted...not compassionate...I hadn't met you I wouldn't have been able to use magic and save Magnolia...you're the reason for all this...but in a way...you're the reason Fairy Tail was born!" She felt a sense of rage building inside her. "Yet, you had your comrades bring pain and hurt toward my friends...I hated you but loved you...I could understand loneliness...I was conflicted..." She clenched her hands tightly. "If I loved you, I'd be able to kill you. If I truly thought of you as dear from the bottom of my heart I'd be able to kill you." Tears began to form in her eyes. "That was...my plan..and yet..." She looked directly with tearful eyes that dripped down her cheeks. "BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO DIE! I WANT US TO BE TOGETHER!"

"She's right..." A voice spoke out.

Roger, Whitebeard, Annabelle, Oden, Fisher Tiger, Kozuki Toki, the Oarburgh Clan, Tom, and the Elite Seven appeared as spirits.

"Roger...Pops..." Ace stuttered in disbelief.

"How did you guys get here?" Luffy asked with a gaping mouth.

Annabelle decided to answer that. "I'm Annabelle Heartfilla...the great grandmother of Anna...I'm also one of the Ancient Ones that worked with the clans that discovered the Dimensional Gateways..."

"We came to see you off...Zeref..." Roger sat by his old friend. "That includes you too...Mavis..."

Oden grinned. "That's right, Zeref, I can tell that you forgot about the good times you had not only with Mavis and her old friends...but with us too...it distorted your mind...because of that you forgot what precious things you did have..."

"Yes, we never forget you and hoped that you were find a way to stop your suffering." Toki sweetly said.

Zeref smiled. "Kozuki...Toki...it's been so long."

"I also know what it means to have no family." Whitebeard said getting the black wizard to look at him. "I can tell you went through a lonely time, nobody deserves that pain...not even a snot nose wizard brat like you."

Tom saw a sad smile on Zeref's face and laughed loudly. "C'mon, Zeref, put on a smile for us...for your lady friend too..."

Babara approached Mavis. "Lady Mavis...I'm Babara the leader of the Oarburgh Clan...like you, I'm also like a grandmother to the members of the Oarburgh Clan...Chelsea is one of my kids."

"I see..." Mavis smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you."

Toki waved to the first master of Fairy Tail. "I'm Kozuki Toki...Oden's wife." Mavis was astonished. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mavis Vermillion." The ghost girl shook the other woman's hand.

Gozuki approached the ghost girl. "I'm Gozuki leader of the Rakshasa Demons and former assasin from the corrupted empire...I raised a group of young teens trained to be assassins and I permitted them to call me "father"...though, I barely had time to be their father...but...deep down I loved every child of mine." He had a sad smile on his face. "However, one of my children...had thought differently toward the empire...deciding to leave and fight against it...that child was Akame..."

Mavis gasped quietly as Gozuki continued. "I didn't take Akame's thinking well...because of that...I ordered my remaining children to kill her...my loyalty to the empire came first...I wasn't able to understand Akame's way of thinking...I tried to kill my daughter...perhaps I don't deserve to be called a father not just because of what I tried to do to Akame...but for what I put them through..."

"Enough..." Whitebeard said getting the former assassin to look in his direction. "Despite whatever was going on in your head...you still loved your kids...deep down you still loved Akame...so, don't say crap like "you don't deserve to be called a father"...you were only following orders and despite what you thought you didn't think you deserved you still had a good times."

Mavis giggled in agreement as she looked at Gozuki sweetly. "Gozuki, he's right. I know that you had a different lifestyle and saw things differently on what to believe in. Regardless, you still cared for your children especially Akame. I'm sure deep down she felt the same way and she would forgive you for what you had done."

Gozuki felt his heart melt as tears fell down his cheeks. "What is...this...am I crying..." He tried to stop but he couldn't.

Cornelia and the others were surprised to see her adopted crying. "Father?" Gozuki continued to sob as tears continued to drip down his cheeks. "All this time...I wasn't sure to be called father...I realize that I was fooling myself...even after I died...I felt like each of you was still with me..."

Cornelia felt so happy to hear that as she hugged her father.

Green smiled happily. Guy grinned while tears formed in his eyes.

Tsukushi felt tears in her eyes too. "Akame...I'm sure you'd be happy to see this..."

Najasho had his face lowered though he felt tears drip down his cheeks. "What...I'm crying...do I still have my emotions...all this time..." Poney wrapped her arms around her teammate's waist. "Najasho...I'm here..."

Gin smiled sweetly.

Babara smiled at her granddaughters. "My kids...I know you all were unique and a hell of handful back then...though, I loved you girls as if you were all my blood...and I'm sure Chelsea knows that. I wish that we can see her again."

Annabelle smiled happily. "That can happen...however...Mavis...continue what you were saying."

Mavis nodded her head and lifted her head as she looked down at her former lover images of him flowed into her mind the bad and good ones. Her body began to shake as emotions built in herself. "Zeref...WAAAAAGGGHHH!" She cried loudly and began to pound her fists on Zeref's chest which took the others by surprise except for Whitebeard, Roger, Ace, Luffy, and Oden who didn't even flinch at the girl's breakdown.

"You can't die...I hate you! I hate you for what you did to my friends! You destroyed my guild! You almost killed Makarov too!" Mavis sobbed loudly with a mix of anger and sadness in her eyes. "I DON'T LOVE YOU IN THE LEAST! JUST DIE ALREADY! DON'T SHOW YOUR FACE TO ME EVER AGAIN!" She leaned her head down closing her eyes. "I DON'T LOVE YOU! YOU'RE AN ENEMY OF MY GUILD AND EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD!"

Zeref just stared at her with a sad smile. "Mavis..."

"So...please...just die..." Mavis pleaded as she crawled on top of him. "Don't...die..." She placed her hand on top of Zeref's head and connected her lips with his.

Merraid smiled sweetly. "Such love...between a boy and girl...haven't seen that in a long time..."

Babara smiled as she felt a hand placed on her shoulder. "Babara..." Daniel stood by her side. "This is my only time to say this...I love you...I have for so long when I first met you in our younger days...I regret I didn't tell you any sooner...but...now I love you..." Babara felt tears in her eyes form and hugged her former partner. "Daniel...you idiot..."

Gilberda and Cassandra smiled sweetly. "Granny..."

Taeko never thought she'd see the day. "I'm happy for you..."

"Same here..." Annabelle agreed with tears in her eyes.

Oden, Roger, and Whitebeard grinned.

Luffy didn't say a word while Ace just smiled.

A golden light shined from the floor which enveloped Zeref and Mavis. Zeref felt so happy upon knowing that Mavis still loved you. "I'd never felt so happy...in my life...you opened my eyes to many things...I realize that I lost sight of what I had...the things I experienced...the fun I had with the people I met in the other worlds..." Tears dripped down his cheeks. "I wish we could've spent more time together...especially with Mavis..."

Whitebeard knelt in front of Zeref. "If that's how you truly feel...then I will call you my son...Mavis will be my daughter-in-law..." He offered his hand as Zeref reached out to the old man's hand and took hold of it. "Sob...sob...I...accept...pops..."

Roger and Oden approached the two. "Yeah, Zeref...you and Mavis are still family to us...no matter..."

"Same goes for me!"

"Everyone...I'm so happy...though, I wish I could...make amends with dear Natsu..." Zeref sobbed with a sady yet happy smile.

"Not true...I'm sure he knows that you're sorry..." Ace said with a smile. "As a brother, I'm sure he'd forgive you Zeref." Hearing that touched Zeref's feelings. "Ace...I envy you and Luffy...the bond I had with Natsu...I wish I could experience it once more..." He looked at Luffy. "Luffy...if you see Natsu, tell him that I'm sorry and that he's made me so proud for the person he is." Luffy grinned with a nod.

"Zeref...it's time...let's go together...to the afterlife...where we can finally rest in peace." Mavis said holding onto her lover.

"Yeah...but, let's give these guys one last gift...one that surely brings a new dawn to the future..." Zeref replied as Mavis smiled sweetly in his eyes.

Gozuki and Babara looked at their former children. "Children...we shall have them give you a second chance."

The Oarburgh Clan and Elite Seven members looked at them puzzled, Gozuki noticed his own kids' reactions so he decided to speak his piece. "My children after all this time, I regretted that you all died under my watch and I couldn't protect you all. But, right now, I can start by giving you the chance to live once more."

Babara and Daniel looked at their children. "Taeko...Gilberda...Loris...Meela...Cassandra...take care...with the magic that those two young ones possess shall give you a second chance to live!"

Cornelia was stunned as she approached Gozuki, who suspected this. "Cornelia...Tsukuski...everyone from the Elite Seven. I shall not return...I shall free you all from my command and have you chose a new path. One that you can truly believe in...one that Akame has shown." Cornelia didn't want to leave the man she called "father" behind then she felt a hand on her shoulder which belonged to Najasho. "Let's accept this for father."

Natala smiled. "Yeah...looks like we'll be seeing Akame again." Green could hardly wait. "Akame...I can't wait to see her."

Merraid, Gilberda, Cassandra, Loris, and Meela were speechless until Taeko spoke. "Granny Babara...thank you. For all that you had done for us, we'll become strong and live our life to the fullest." The other girls nodded. Babara walked over to her granddaughters and hugged them. "Take care...my babies..."

Roger and Whitebeard laughed loudly. "Ace...take care...my son..." Ace felt his body act strange. "Roger...pops...are you..." Luffy was lost for words as Fisher Tiger approached. "Straw Hat Luffy..." The rubber man looked at the Fishman. "Watch over Jimbei and thank you for saving my home." The Rubber pirate nodded with a big grin.

Mavis and Zeref saw that their cue. "Love...The Unifying Magic." They concluded as they vanished into thin air with the other spirits with the golden light stream and flower petals twirled around the light.

Natsu was walking down the street and turned in the direction where the light was then smiled softly. "Goodbye...big brother...first master Mavis..." Suddenly several lights fired in a few directions. "What were those lights?"

Makarov started to wake up. "Laxus...is the battle over..." Laxus looked at his grandpa. "Gramps...you're awake."

"Hey, master is awake!" Mirajane called out.

"Good, he's alright," Warren sighed in relief.

"Don't forget, he was just unconscious from Whitebeard and Roger's Haki power," Zoro reminded.

Jula was relieved to see her master was fine. "He just woke up in time too."

Angela was happy to see the old man was fine. "Yeah, we're almost at the guild...father."

Thorn smirked with tears in his eyes. "Yeah, master..." Makarov smiled happily. "I'm happy to hear." He had something else on his mind. "What was that I saw...a young man in black and a little girl...playing together...they were with two strong men...they looked like...they were Roger...and Whitebeard...alongside them as Oden and a woman...They were all happy together..."

A light landed next to where the Straw Hat Pirates were. "What was that?" Nami asked.

"It is another enemy?" Franky asked.

The smoke from the light that crashed on the ground cleared revealing Tom who was looking at the cyborg man. "Franky...nice to see you."

Elfman quickly recongized the Fishman. "Hey, he's that Tom guy that was framed by that Span...something dumb."

"It was Spandum," Lisanna corrected with a sweat drop.

Aquapad couldn't believe it. "Tom...it can't...be."

Franky was not expecting to see his former mentor. "T-Tom..." He felt like he was going to cry. "C'mon, don't look at me like that...I'm not a ghost this time..." He felt a large pair of hands embrace him. "TOM! HOW ARE YOU ALIVE!?" He sobbed loudly as snot dripped from his nostrils and tears fell down his cheeks.

Sanji, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper just smiled at the touchy reunion.

"Such a manly reunion!" Elfman wailed happily with tears in his eyes.

Aquapad sniffled happily. "Glad to see he's back." Lisanna took hold of his hand. "It's wonderful, isn't it?" The Marlin Fishman wiped his tears with his arm. "Yeah."

Yajeel smiled softly at the reunion and Ajeel who just awoken saw the reunion.

The last remaining lights landed where Gray and the others were creating smoke that emitted from the ground.

"What was that?" Happy jumped scared.

"Is it another enemy?" Lucy asked a little nervous.

"Be on your guard!" Robin did her stance preparing to make a move if needed.

"Gee, talk about a hard landing..." Chelsea gasped quietly upon recognizing the voice and she felt familiar auras.

Akame sensed a large number of auras from the smoke. "No way...it can't be..."

Gray noticed the two girl's reaction. "Chelsea...Akame, what is it?"

Taeko emerged from the smoke and rubbed her head. "Ugh..." She then looked ahead. "Chelsea...you're here..." She noticed Akame and recalled what she said to Chelsea. "The one responsible for killing the Elite Seven...was Akame and her group..."

Merraid, Gilberda, Cassandra, Meela, and Loris walked out of the smoke.

"Chelsea survived, after all, that's good I guess."

Gilberda was licking her lips. "Well, looks like she's not only either."

Merraid had a flirty look on her face. "Well, some new female faces...quite the beautiful ones they are."

"Look sis, more beautiful ladies!"

"Yeah, earthland has beautiful chicks!"

The twins suddenly saw the ice mage and became bashful upon seeing him shirtless. "That...man...no shirt on...he's a perv..."

"Yeah...but he's so...hot..." Gray didn't hear that, but he heard the strange woman mention Chelsea's name. "I take it that you girls are friends of Chelsea?"

Green walked out of the smoke and saw Akame. "Akame...you're here...I take that you survived...I knew you would." Akame wasn't expecting that answer but she felt no hostility from her former teammate.

Tsukuski, Guy, Najasho, Cornelia, Poney, Natala, and Gin walked out of the smoke. "Well, Akame, looking good as always."

"Looks like the small fry has survived after all."

"Nice to know that you're alive."

"Hope you didn't get too lonely."

Gray was on edge and prepared to fight if needed. "You guys...your Akame's old pals...did you come here to finish the job and kill Akame?"

Green stepped in before the others could make a move. "You're wrong...we shall not be a threat to you and your friends." That wasn't what they were expecting to hear especially Akame. "We were given a chance to live once more."

Lucy had a question of her own. "Wait do those lights have anything do what happened at the guild?"

Najasho decided to answer that. "You might say that...we'll give you the details later."

Robin looked at Chelsea's former team. "Why are you girls here, do you plan to kill Akame I mean last I checked you hated her for what she did."

Gray remembered that. "Is that so, you girls are the reason that Chelsea turned against Akame!"

Taeko stepped forward this time. "I'm aware of that. I apologize I never intended to turn Chelsea against Akame...I figured she deserved to know the truth but I wasn't counting on her to lose her temper."

Lucy still felt a little suspicious toward the former Oarburgh Clan assassin. "You almost got Chelsea to kill Akame, how can we believe that?"

"That's enough..." Akame put her arm out in front of the other girl. "I'm not sure if Taeko wanted Chelsea to turn against me, but, even so, I chose to let it go." She smiled at Lucy. "Let's just put the past behind us and move on."

Gray chuckled a bit. "She's right, we have to move on despite what happened in the past."

Taeko approached Akame and offered her hand. "Akame...I hope you can forgive me for what happened between you and Chelsea...I won't blame you if you don't." Akame shook her hand. "I don't blame you, let us move on and be friends." Taeko giggled sweetly. "How ironic, we fought each other to the death and we fought again...now we finally can be friends right now." She then looked at her other teammates. "Girls...let's move forward...as if right now."

Merraid and the others stared at her for a second until they all smiled. "If that's what Granny Babara wanted then we shall respect her wish."

"Yeah, this gives me the chance to find more women..." Merraid giggled lovingly at the other females.

Lucy felt a shiver go down her spine. "Is she talking about us?"

Robin's eyes were hidden. "In a way...yes."

Gray couldn't believe what he hearing. "So creepy!"

Natsu arrived at the park. "Hey guys!" Happy turned to see his best friend and flew at him to give him a big hug. "Natsu!"

Lucy cried with tears of joy.

Green and the other Elite Seven recognized the pinkette boy. "I remember him." They recalled that Natsu wanted to fight them.

Natsu quickly noticed the group and surprisingly remembered them. "You guys...you are the people from Akame's former team...why are you guys here?"

"Relax..." Gray chuckled a bit expecting Natsu's suspiciousness . "They're not our enemies anymore."

"Hey!" Luffy called out.

"Luffy!" Robin and Brook waved with relief.

"Yeah, I'm not alone either!"

Ace had just entered the park with a huge grin. "So, you guys are new members of Luffy's crew...nice to meet you."

Brook's bony jaw dropped down comically. "Ace...how is...that...you're..." He started to sniffle with tears of joy. "YOU'RE ALIVE!" He lunged at his captain's brother and hugged him with tears pouring out of his eye sockets like a water fountain.

"Hey...cut that out! Getting snot all over me," Ace joked with a laugh.

Robin was astonished but happy at the same time. "Ace...you're returned...how is that?" Ace chuckled his grin not leaving his face. "I'll spare the details...but the fact is, I'm back and alive." He looked at his hand. "However, I lost my devil fruit power...I don't why..."

Natsu had one more thing to say. "Mavis...she has passed away." The others were stunned at Natsu's words, however, the pinkette boy just smiled. "However, we should be happy, not sad, I think she wanted that to happen for so long."

Lucy smiled wiping her tears away with her hands. "Good point."

"What do we do with these guys?" Happy asked referring to the Oarburgh Clan and the Elite Seven.

Akame had a suggestion. "They can help with the injured." Everyone looked at her as she looked at her former team. "Najasho...take Green and the rest of our team to the town and have them help our allies that are injured." She then looked at Leone. "Leone, you'll be escorting them." The blonde assassin chuckled with a grin. "Got it."

Chelsea had a similar idea. "Taeko, take the rest of the Oarburgh Clan and assist our allies and injured too." Taeko saw no problem with that and nodded before she turned to face the other Oarburgh Clan. "You head Chelsea, let's go girls." The Oarburgh Clan ladies nodded.

Green had something important to say to Akame. "Akame..." He approached his former teammate. "Listen...I'm...I'm glad that I was able to see you...again..." His voice had a hint of embarrassment and nervousness as the others stared. "I'm sorry that I didn't believe in your way of thinking...honestly, when I died I was really worried about what happen to you after I died."

Akame felt her heart beat fast which was unlike her, she hadn't felt such emotions since Tatsumi and Fairy Tail joined Night Raid. "Green...thank you...I...appreciate your words and I accept your apology." Green shyly had his face lowered for a second until out of impulse he lift up the girl's chin and kissed her on the lips. Akame's eyes went wid with surprise.

'Aaaaahhhhhh!" Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Chelsea, Brook, and Gray exclaimed with their mouths hanging open and blushing red.

Merraid was feeling envious of the scene before her.

Gilberda felt a certain jealousy boil in her stomach while grinding her teeth.

Cornelia covered her mouth with her hands completely flustered. Tsukuski had a deadpan look though a hint of redness was seen on her face. Gin and Poney placed her hands tightly on their cheeks in awe. Natata turned away slightly as he partly glanced at the romantic scene. Guy felt a bit jealous but grinned slightly.

Meela and Loris' cheeks puffed with jealous expressions.

Leone whistled at the unexpected kiss.

Green pulled away looking at Akame with a small smile. "I'm sure you know my feelings...I don't expect you to accept them...but...I'll give you time to think about it." Akame was speechless was a second but a small smile to shape on her face. "I will."

"I'm quite envious," Brook muttered the he remembered Sanji. "Oh my...if Sanji finds out about this he'll freak out."

"That's true..." Robin giggled in agreement. "Anyway, we'll go back to the Sunny to check on the rest of our crew."

Brook nodded. "Right."

Luffy chuckled with a grin. "C'mon Ace, I'm sure the others will be glad to see you." Ace agreed and followed his little brother.

M

On a small rocky island, Erza had Jellal resting on her lap. "Erza...I'm alive."

"Yes, you need to keep living for Ichiya and Anna," Jessica said. "Especially for Erza."

Jellal nodded.

Usagi was being watched over by Rena. "He must be exhausted." She commented.

"Indeed, he was very tough against Acnologia," Erza said with a proud smile. "Too bad, Oden passed away."

Wendy felt hurt about her former teacher's fate. "Sensai...Anna."

Erza felt a device vibrate in her pocket. "Oh, looks like a call."

Jessica looked at what Erza was holding in her hand. "A portal communication Lacrima." Erza activated it and put her by her ear. "Is this Warren?"

"Thank goodness, I dropped this thing due to the craziness, I'm glad that I found it," Warren replied in relief. "What is your situation?"

Erza explained the situation to the telepathy wizard, who responded in surprise and confusion. "Wait...Acnologia was sealed in time?!"

"Yes, two of our allies made the ultimate sacrifice." Erza continued.

The portal communication went off. "It stopped...working."

Despite the cut-off, Warren decided to inform the others of the news and made contact with Lucy was walking down the street with Akame, Gray, and Happy down the street. "Wait, they got rid of Acnologia?"

Happy was all cheery to hear that. "Awesome, does that mean that fighting is over?"

Natsu was greatly disappointed. "Aw man, I was hoping to give that jerk a beating of a lifetime."

Gray scoffed. "Geez, you're all banged up...get real." Natsu felt offended as he comically glared at the ice mage. "You want to get beaten too!?" Gray growled in frustration. "Grow a brain you flame moron!" He turned away with his arms crossed. "I was just saying that you should get some rest."

Natsu felt a little bad for getting carried away and smiled at him. "Gray..." Gray smiled in return and they both did a friendly punch only for Natsu to yelp in pain. "Ow...ow...that hurt...are you trying to break my hand!?"

Before anyone realized the two were head-butting once more. "You trying to break my fist you jerk!"

"I wasn't you flame doofess!"

Lucy just giggled. "They're back to normal."

Akame felt happy as she and before she knew an image of Green flashed in her mind. "Green..." Gray noticed the former assassin's face. "Akame, something on your mind?"

Akame just smiled with a faint blush. "Just a certain person." Happy had a good idea. "You thinking about Green, Akame?"

Gray understood that. "I have to thank Juvia and Miyaka for their help."

Lucy had an idea. "I want to relax and then go on another adventure."

Fujika was near an alleyway hearing their voices. "Lucy...Gray...Happy..." She thought.

"I was hoping to track down Aquarius' key," Lucy added. "Do you guys want to come along?"

Gray and Happy thought that was a good idea. "Sounds good to me."

"Yeah, I'll do anything for a fishy!" Happy beamed.

"You know she's not a fish, Happy!?" Gray exclaimed comically.

Lucy just remembered something. "Reminds me, did you and Natsu want to do something?" Happy nodded and turned to face his best friend. "Natsu, do you want me to spill the beans?"

To their surprise and confusion, they saw Fujika, but she was just as speechless as they were. "Natsu..."

Happy was becoming suddenly worried. "Natsu...where...are you?"

"Fujika...where'd he go?"

Fujika was silent with shock. "Hey Fujika, answer me!" Gray shouted almost demanding, but, no answer came from her.

Akame used her aura sensor and Observation Haki, but she couldn't detect him. "I can't sense him...anymore..."

Lucy fell on her knees. "It can't...be...we changed...the book..."

Gray felt utter despair. "No way..."

"NAAATTSUUUU!" Lucy cried in despair.


On the small rocky island, Blue Pegasus and Erza's group gathered on it resting for a while.

Wendy looked at the sky and saw a crack appear. "What is...that?" She asked quietly.


With Zeref finally gone with Mavis, the two immortals use their last magic power to revive the Oarburgh Clan, the Elite Seven, Tom, and Ace. All reunite with their old friend. Natsu's team walks through the streets and talks about what to do next after the war. As they share their suggestions Natsu is nowhere to be seen assuming that he disappeared. Wendy notices a crack appearing in the sky. What happened to Natsu and does that have something to do with the crack, find out next time.

End of chapter.
