"Dragon Thought"
Roars of dragons tore the sky apart, the vibrations echoing amongst the buildings that remained standing. The structures quivered before collapsing as the sound shuddered around their corners, distorting the pitch and length into something far more terrifying than the original. Bright flickering flames scorched the edifices of the city, their serpentine path unaffected by the immutable stone, all melted and burned in the face of the dragon's flames and their power. Dragon after Dragon… there was no end to this nightmare. Princess Hisui was crying, and her father stood looking at the opening gate with his eyes widened in horror, terrifying at the disaster they had brought to their country.
The guards, Knight and mage of the strongest Guilds around Fiore could barely move an inch of their body at the sight of the powerful dragons, let alone fight against them like how the King asked them to. More than two dozen dragons had been set into the present world, and more and more dragons were waiting at the other side for their turn to come, drew toward the gate because of the a surplus amount of Ethernano. However, Lucy Heartfillia ran as fast as she could to the pedestal, hoping that she could close the gate in time. However, with a mighty roar from the flaming dragon, she was blown back several feet but Wendy quickly jumped in to stop her.
"Lucy-san, hurry!" Wendy cried as she tried to keep her eyes safe from the unimaginable heat.
"Yeah…" was all the blonde Celestial mage could say at the moment as she pushed herself onto her feet again. She ran at the pedestal again, and this time she was able reach it and grabbed the handle with both hands, pulling it as hard as she could while using the power of a celestial mage. As more and more dragons kept showing up, Crocus was now nothing more than a warzone for it to play, and soon they all felt into control of a single man, who stood on top of the building with a sly smirk on his face.
"Lucy-san! Is the door still not closed?" Wendy asked as loud as she could, trying to let her voice reach the older mage.
"At this rate, there'll be no end to the number of dragons that cross through the door!" Lucy cried out in worry. Why wouldn't it close? "WHY?!" Lucy screamed and tried to pull the lever as hard as she could, but much to her dismay it didn't move in the slightest. "Why won't this door close?!" she yelled as the mountain like dragon, who just crossed the gate, stomped his foot down to the ground and knocked Lucy back again.
"The power of a single Celestial Mage isn't enough?!" Arcadious asked in shock as Lucy struggled to get on her feet again.
"Don't forget about me!" They all turned their head around when they saw Yukino Aguria, followed by Mira of Fairy Tail ran toward them "Lucy-sama! Please take out your golden keys!" Yukino cried as she ran to Lucy "Combined with mine, we'll use all twelve to seal the gate!" she told Lucy.
"We're using the celestial spirit?" Lucy asked in surprise before removing the twelve golden keys from the ring and threw it into the air "Alright, let's do this Yukino!" The zodiac keys then floated into the air and formed into a circle around their body and begin to glow a beautiful golden light. It was an amazing sight for those who had never seen such a phenomena in their lives.
Yukino and Lucy grabbed each other hands and kneeled down with their forehead leaned against each other, closing their eyes and concentrated all of their magic into the twelve keys and began chanting. "Oh Celestial Spirits of the twelve Golden Paths, Lend me the power to seal this evil! Open! Twelve gates of the Zodiac!" they shouted. In a flash of light the twelve spirits appeared. From Loke the Lion to Aquarius the Water Bearer, each Zodiac Celestial Spirit appeared around them as their body bathed in the light of Celestial Magic.
"Close the gate, please" Lucy said softly as she threw her head back. No words were spoken between them, but almost stimulatingly they jumped into the air and sped off to the Eclipse Gate in blinding flash lights, with six spirits on each side of the of the gate they started pushing, bumping all of their celestial magic into the gate and tried their hardest to close it.
However, before they could fully close it a massive dragon with Green and red scales, horns on its snout and two sets of bat like wings, bigger than any dragons that had come through the gate unleashed a mighty roar that was so strong that it blasted the gate open wide again, making enough space for it to fly through. "Medrith…" Future Rogue said in amazement as the powerful dragon flew into the sky and unleashed another mighty roar, that was strong enough to blast away a large area of Crocus and knocked everyone inside down "The former Dragon King before Acnologia claimed that position with his absence... such power…" he said as a wide smirk appeared on his face, "Perfect." he said and shot into the air.
"It's still not closing…" Loke gritted his teeth as he tried to push as hard as he could, but two massive dragons were standing at the gate with their body directly blocking them, stopping the twelve celestial spirits from closing it. "C'mon… we can do this!" Aquarius roared she tried to push harder, however, much to everyone dismay the dragons that were stopping it was still refusing to move.
"Is this… the end…" Lucy muttered as she looked at the door hopelessly, as yet another dragon was making it way through it.
However an unexpected voice gained their attention "So this is why I was drawn here... To think that so many would arrive on this day." a voice said. They all turned and looked at the newcomer confused. The man shook his head with a snort "No wonder the air reeked of dragon, it is because they have returned. Pathetic creatures the lot of them." the man said. He is tanned skinned, and on his body he bears the same light blue markings he does when he is a Dragon. For attire, the man dons a high collared, black cloak, which also bears his draconian markings, sharp red claws around his neck, a sash around his waist, a gold arm ring tightened around his right upper arm, and baggy pants which are decorated the same as the most former article of clothing. This was Naruto Uzumaki, otherwise known as Acnologia the Apocalypse Dragon King.
Wendy looked at the man and gulped. She didn't know why, but his aura was extremely familiar to her. She couldn't help it and spoke "W-who are you?" she asked the man.
Said man snorted "I am unimportant. However it seems that you dragon slayer's have your hands full so I have no other choice but to lend my support." he told the girl.
Wendy sensed that his magic power was familiar to her, and was determined so she called him out "Are you Acnologia?" she said making him stop as he was walking towards the two dragon's blocking the gate as another dragon resembling a walking bolt of electricity walked out from the Eclipse Gate into the future time period. The man smirked as he turned around to face her.
He gave a slight bow "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, but to you human's I am the one and only Acnologia at your service." he said mockingly shocking all of them and scaring the rest at his proclamation.
Carla couldn't believe her ears "Impossible... how is it possible for him to appear like this? Last time we encountered Acnologia he was a dragon the size of a mountain. Yes the markings and magic are similar, but it shouldn't be possible for a human to shift into the form of a dragon. Besides it was written that Acnologia was a demon of Zeref, one of if not the most powerful demon created by Zeref." she thought in horror. If he attacked them again they would be doomed, and there was no way to fight him off... he was just to powerful.
Hisui looked at the ancient dragon slayer "If you are who you say you are, then I beg of you... please... save my kingdom." she said to the long haired blonde.
Naruto snorted "I didn't come here to save anyone human. I came here to slay some dragon's." he said as a smirk appeared on his face. Turning around Naruto thrust his hand into the air, and then slammed a fist into the ground with a earth shattering force behind the strike and a large explosion appeared as a deep trench was carved into the ground before the two dragon's plus a large made of molten lava began walking out of the gate. The explosion forced everyone to cover their faces as the brutal winds threatened to send them flying. The lava dragon plus two dragon's holding the gate open were nearly vaporised by the powerful strike.
Naruto gave a whistle to the spirits "Close the gate, NOW!" he ordered. The spirits nodded and pushed the gate closed as a dragon with purple poisonous scales appeared and tried to walk out from the gate. However the spirits managed to close the gate much to everyone's joy.
"It closed… finally." Lucy and Yukino smiled as they all breathed out in relief while Wendy and Happy cheered out for them.
"Oh!" The guards cheered "They did it!" they said in celebration.
"It's much too early to celebrate!" Arcadious cried out, interrupting their short moment of happiness "How many of them made it through already?" he demanded a soldier.
"There are 137 of them sir." A soldier replied with sweat pouring down his face. They looked around and sweated nervously at the sight of the dragons.
"Lucy Heartfilia…Yukino, you two just had to stick your nose where it didn't belong!" Future Rogue said as he approached them with a small smirk on his face "But 137, will suffice… truth to be told… trying to control ten thousand of them, including Tatewaki is simply a nightmare for anyone, even me." he said gloatingly.
"What did you…" Lucy started to say however she started to trail off.
"Rogue-sama?" Yukino asked, clearly confused by his appearance.
"He's the one…" Hisui said. "He told me about the future…" she said pointing to the man.
"He's the man from the future who deceived you, Princess?!" Arcadious said, stepping in front of her and drew his sword.
"You...this was your goal from the very beginning..." Lucy said as she grit her teeth with anger.
Rogue, however ignored her and turned to look at Naruto. He then snorted "So this is the almighty Acnologia is it? Well I must say your little display was something like that out of a book. However you are no longer the king of dragon's on this night." he said to the man who snorted in return at the punks claim.
"Think what you want kid, because in the end I shall be the one to tear you apart." Naruto said to the man.
Future Rogue shrugged "Think what you will because it's not like you can do anything to stop this." Rogue said as he closed his eyes. Opening his eyes Future Rogue raised his hands and the dragons that made it out of the door crowded around him, and Medrith, the biggest most powerful of all stood on the Mercurius Castle and spread it wings, releasing a mighty roar that shook the entire city. "Listen up my ignorant, and foolish subjects... listen and take heed." as Future Rogue raised his hands.
As he did this the dragons that made it out of the door crowded around him, and Medrith the biggest most powerful of all stood on the Mercurius Castle and spread it wings, releasing a mighty roar that shook the entire city to its very roots. Naruto stood his ground and glared at the gold and crimson dragon "You're going to be a huge pain in the ass, aren't you Medrith?" he growled. Medrithwas, by far the most powerful dragon in history, known to be the dragon of dragons and the first Dragon King of Apocalypse. Moreover, the only reason for him to become the dragon king four hundred years ago was because the absence of this dragon "Now I know where you has disappeared to." he said.
"From this moment forward... the human species shall be extinct... because now begins the Era of Dragons." he said before he then gazed at the dragon's calmly "Ten of you find all the mages in the town, and eliminate them." he ordered the dragon's. To the surprise of everyone there, sans Naruto, they obeyed him.
"The dragons are doing as he ordered?!" Carla exclaimed as ten dragons in the group split up to find their prey.
"He said something about control just now...could he be-" Pantherlily widened his eyes in surprise.
"The secret art of dominating and controlling dragons... Dragon Tamer Magic." Future Rogue said.
His eyes gleamed as he hopped on one of the dragons, the first one that walked through the door and the second largest dragon just after the Dragon King itself... Motherglare. "What does he want?!" Mira growled.
"What could he possible gain from doing all of this..." Yukino questioned.
"Nothing while I'm still here." Naruto growled as he looked to some of the dragon's that crowded around the gate. Finally Naruto spoke "I am Naruto Uzumaki Senju, but to you filthy beasts I am Acnologia the Dragon Slayer. I hereby declare that I will wipe your unclean kind from this planet." he stated. The dragon's obviously didn't like the fact that the worlds most powerful dragon slayer stood before them and they all roared enraged as they charged at the man. Naruto jumped into the air and drove his fist into the first dragon causing it to fly back from the powerful blow. Kicking another he watched as it crashed into a pillar. At the same time he stopped the third and fourth dragon's with his bare hands before he grabbed their bottom jaws and spun around while throwing the two giant beasts away with ease.
Mirajane, Hisui, Yukino, Arcadios, Lucy, Happy, Carla, Pantherlily, and anyone else watching felt their jaws drop. "He just stopped those dragon's and shoved them back, with such ease." Hisui stated in shock.
Ignoring their shock Naruto continued his fight. Looking to the first dragon he used the sacred magic of dragon's in its oldest form "Ven Gaar Nos (Wind Unleash Strike)" and a massive cyclone wrapped around the dragon pulling the air from its lungs. Not letting up he called upon his Sky Dragon Slayer Magic and breathed out several deep breathes that formed into copies of himself. Running towards the Twister they each repeated the Ancient Phrase and the twister grew more powerful. The dragon gripped its throat for several seconds before it collapsed. Seeing its comrade in mortal peril the second dragon opens its wings and takes to the sky, however Naruto doesn't let it go
"Once more he calls upon his magic "Moor Zah Frul (Mortal Finite Temporary)" he states and a blue aura surrounds the dragon who cries out in agony as it crashes into the ground. Drawing his head back he releases a powerful sea of blue flames as he calls out "Jigokuryu no Goka Mekyaku (Hellfire Dragon's Great Fire Annihilation)" and the wave of flame floods the clearing as the dragon roars in contempt before the flames wash over it like a tidal wave. When he stops feeding his magic into the technique he walks up to the downed dragon and places his foot on its head.
As the beast lay dying he felt terror when he hears Naruto's next words "Zii Los Dii Du (Spirit Is Mine Devour)" and suddenly a large purple figure made of energy rushes out of the dragon and flows into the Dragon slayer. Mirajane felt her jaw drop in shock. She had literally watched as a man devoured a dragon's soul with just four words. The dragon gives a final gasp as Naruto devours the now dead dragon's soul. Looking left he hears a dragon charging him and recognizes it immediately. It was Viracocha of the Obsidian. A dragon who once supported coexistence, but turned traitor when they started losing centuries ago, which he died against Irene. He wouldn't survive the night. When the two meet Naruto launches a powerful right hook that sends the dragon sliding back. When Viracocha regains his senses he sees Naruto suddenly reappear in front of him and launch a powerful roundhouse kick that sends him crashing into a thick wall with a roar of pain.
Naruto jumps into the air coating his hand with one of his most powerful Dragon Slayer Magic's. With a yell of "Shiniryu no Sourutia (Death Dragon's Soul Tear)" he punches the dragon and rips half of the beasts soul from its body leaving it in a half dead state and Viracocha collapsed seemingly dead in front of Naruto. Naruto doesn't take a chance and quickly crushes the dragon's head underfoot where blood sprays into the air and covers several people. With two dragon's dead and one waiting to fight, he looks to Zirconis the Jade Dragon. Seeing his brethren all dead and dying around him he decides to avenge them and charges Naruto.
Naruto calls upon his magic once again "Mul Qah Diiv (Strength Armor Wyrm)" and he gains more power from the mighty Shout. As he reaches the halfway point he smirks and uses another Shout Technique "Slen Tiid Vo (Flesh Time Undo)" and almost instantly he looks to one of the dead dragons and smirks as the one who had died by suffocation raises itself off the ground with a roar. When revived in such a state it is free to do as it pleases, but what Naruto does next secures his victory. Utilizing another shout he calls out "Diil Qoth Zaam (Undead Tomb Slave)" and the revived dragon's eyes glaze over and it charges Zirconis from the left under Naruto's control.
The dragon tackles Zirconis and the two crash through a column by the gate and the dragon pins the stunned Zirconis right in front of Naruto. Trapped Zirconis can do nothing as Naruto uses the forbidden shout and watches as his soul leaves his body and enters Naruto and the light leaves his eyes. Looking to the dragon that pinned Zirconis he repeats the process and eats the soul of the injured dragon. With his short hand to hand fight done he kneels down and shot up into the air cratering the ground only to land on top of a dragon that was once known as Akima.
Across the city, all the mage guilds were being attacked by Dragon's and soon, one of the dragons under Future Rogue's spell found his first meal, the mages from the Fairy Tail Guild.
"It's here!" Bisca said in shock
"Oh wow it's dragon!" Macao said in
"Its body's... made of nothing but flames?!" Alzack said.
"That's a dragon?" Warren said in shock as he looked at Atlas Flame.
"Brace yourselves!" Makarov roared out as he got into full battle mode.
"I am the dragon Atlas Flame." the dragon said as he introduced himself. "You shall now taste my hellfire." he told them all. Opening his mouth, he unleashed a powerful flame attack that sent the mages tumbling.
"That's it! Go and run rampant!" Future Rogue crowed as he rode on the first dragon, watching the carnage from the sky. "Ingrain it into their very fiber…the wrath of a dragon!" he said gleefully. However said glee wasn't to last as something unexpected happened.
His eyes widened when he heard a loud, booming sound as a blue dragon with its head completely blown apart fell down from the sky, dead with Naruto standing on one knee on its neck. "N-no way..." Lucy said in shock at what she saw.
Arcadios could feel his eyes widen in shock "Impossible..." he said in shock.
"N-No way... There's just no way..." Hisui stuttered in bewilderment. If what he said earlier was true then this battle could head in any direction.
Future Rogue growled "That's impossible..." he said.
Naruto looked up at the man and pointed at him "You're next." he said and gave a mighty jump and landed on Motherglare's back with the man. He suddenly vanished and reappeared behind him with his whole forearm covered in blood while holding to bloody orbs in his hand. One white, and one black. Future Rogue fell down dead. As he started to walk towards the weak spot on Motherglre's neck a apparition appeared in Naruto's mind making him stop. He knew this being very well as he had fought alongside with the creature. "Skiadrum... you're alive?" he asked the black dragon.
Skiadrum nodded his head "Hello Naruto." he greeted.
Naruto shook his head "So this was where you went all those years ago... the future where the Ethernano levels were higher." he said as Skiadrum nodded again.
"With you turning into a dragon during the war and slaughtering everything we, Igneel, Metalicana, Weisslogia, Grandeeney, made a plan to send five young dragon slayers to the future. The originl plan was to kill you, but it seems that you have reigned in your rage." Skiadrum stated.
Naruto snorted "Oh trust me it's still there. If it wasn't for that bastard Zeref I would actually be a regular immortal." Naruto said to the black dragn.
Skiadrum nodded "Yeah. You just wanted to live your life normally and I respect that Naruto. However since you're here, maybe you can show those younger slayer's a thing or two."Skiadrum said.
Naruto smirked "I already planned to." he told the dragon.
Skiadrum laughed for the first time in a long time "Well see to it that you do. I'm afraid that my time is up. Farewell old friend. I am glad we part in good terms." Skiadrum said and his soul passed on to the next life. Naruto shook his head as he cleared his head. Now that the Future Rogue was dead his spell had worn off, which was not good. Motherglare started to turn side to side constantly crashing into the buildings as he tried to shake Naruto off his back. Naruto however knew he had to go all out if he wanted to get rid of the dragon's that weren't friendly.
Enter: OST DRAGON KING
So with that he jumped up off of Motherglare's back and his body began to his entire upper body was covered in black, round scales, which in turn, are decorated by spiraling, blue markings like when he is a human. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are now gray almost silver in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Acnologia's eyes turn white and beady, his head is now round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. Acnologia's mouth is also filled with tons of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to his chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead.
His large dark wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's, and very similar to the Sky Dragon Grandeeney's. The scales disappear at the end of Acnologia's tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape finishing his transformation. Acnologia released a loud roar drawing everyone's attention, moreso from those who had been on Tenrou Island seven years ago when he had attacked it looking for Zeref. Wendy shook in fright "We're doomed... he's actually telling the truth about being Acnologia." she cried out.
Lucy and the three exceed that had seen the dragon's power shivered in fear "I-it can't be... there's just no way..." she whimpered.
Natsu looked up at Acnologia with shocked eyes "It's Acnologia!" he shouted out.
Gajeel went pale "He's back. We don't stand a fucking chance now." he said.
Acnologia's roar attracted the attention of the dragon's that had come through the gate. Sting and Rogue the two dragon slayers of Sabertooth looked at Acnologia in shock. Lector pointed to the dragon of everyone's fear "He's here! Acnologia's come to kill us all!" he cried out.
Sting couldn't believe it. Acnologia was as big as Tatewaki, if not a bit bigger. Hell they resembled each other in appearances with the exception being their colors were different. "He was telling the truth... there's no way a regular wizard can fight such a monster." he said.
The amount of power coming from Acnologia was immense, so much so he felt like falling to his knees in despair. Acnologia flies at the nearest dragon gathering his magic in his mouth preparing a breath attack and then releases it. A large dome of light surrounds the dragon as it is torn apart by the powerful attack. The power of Acnologia's strike wipes out several blocks of buildings while leaving a massive crater. Acnologia continues to release magic from his mouth in the form of a beam as it continues to feed the dome of light where it quickly fades away leaving a burning crater and a large amount of smoke in the air making it hard to breathe.
Cana looked at the black dragon with wide eyes "Acnologia's here!" she exclaimed in shock.
Romeo looked at Acnologia with narrowed eyes "So that's him." he said looking at Acnologia.
Wakaba pointed to the dragon "That's the dragon that took out Tenrou? No way it can't be him." he said with wide eyes.
Macao looked at the heavy smoker "Just cause you won't look doesn't mean it's not here." he told Wakaba.
Vijeeter looked to the sky "First Master save us, please!" he begged hoping the spirit would come through. Cana shook in fear as she watched the dragon fly about "We don't stand a chance. We barely made it last time, but now..." she said as she remembered what happened on Tenrou.
Things had gone from bad to worse. First the dragon's from the Eclipse Gate had arrived, and now a monster they had fought and barely survived against had come. They were doomed. Era looked at the Black Dragon in fear "I don't believe it... it's Acnologia..." she said quietly. Acnologia dove down with a roar tearing apart the ground sending wizards and the miniature humanoid dragon's Motherglare had created flying. Wizards around the city were running away from the dragon's they had been fighting opting to leave the city while they could with their lives. Acnologia came close to the ground before rising back to the sky tearing apart the earth merely by flying by.
In the end many wizards were still sent flying even if they weren't near the dragon. The wizards that hadn't been sent flying were either on their stomachs or knees looking at the creature with wide eyes. Wakaba looked at the carnage with shock "No way he can do that much damage just by flying by!" he said shocked.
Macao gulped "I think we actually may be done for." the man said.
Vijeeter gulped "We're all gonna die." he said in fear.
Cana had tears in her eyes "This is total bullshit. First the dragon's that had come here, and now it's Acnologia... How are we supposed to beat this, dammit!" she yelled out as Acnologia flew around the castle knocking off a tower.
Acnologia dove at another cluster of humanoid dragons with no wizards fighting and flew over them ignoring as their small beams of magic bounced harmlessly off his scales while he slammed his tail down on the ground with a explosive smack. Now he had all the dragon's attention as they took to the sky to fight the Apocalypse dragon, and the first one to engage him was a brown dragon with large wings. Acnologia tackled the dragon around its waist, opening his jaw wide before biting down the dragon's neck, tearing it apart even though the dragon scales were known for its hardness. Then again he was a dragon so there was nothing it could do to stop him.
Seeing the Black Dragon fight against their enemies shocked most of, if not all, the wizards watching the scene. Natsu gulped "Is he fighting for us, or is there something more going on?" he asked in confusion as he watched Acnologia literally rip a dragn in two with his hands.
Gross, but very helpful as it took down a dragon. No longer occupied by his prey Acnologia spoke "Listen up Dragon, and God slayers and try to get it through those thick skulls of yours..." Acnologia said gaining all the slayers attention. "All Dragon's have several key weaknesses. The first is at the base of the neck, if you manage to break through the scales punch through the muscle and they will bleed out." Acnologia said.
"The second is the weaker scales right behind their wings. This is due to the fact that they are evolved for mobility. Cut these scales off and do the same and they will die." Acnologia told them. "The next weakness is the elemental weakness. If you manage to find the elemental weakness then you have the advantage." he said to them. "Go for the belly, neck, mouth or any other soft spot you can find as that will lead to your victory. Stay as a group and don't split up as that will only tire you out. By hunting them as a pack you have the number advantage. This is your moment. You guys were born to do this." Acnologia shouted as he took to the skies.
"Slay those dragons, that is what your magic is meant to be used for... Good luck Dragon Hunter's. Give them hell." Acnologia told them. And with that he had to snap another dragon's neck as it tried to sneak up on him as he spoke. He then flew away with high speeds to get away from the dragon's that surrounded him. Acnologia zipped and dodged the dragons as he led them on a wild chase over the city and then over the countryside. With his enhanced eyesight he saw a number of humans walking along a path towards the mountain and banked to the right hard and began to run the side of the mountain trail gaining their attention when he had passed them the dragon's chasing him flew by a few seconds later.
Acnologia jumped off of the mountainside and took to the skies again. They all watched as the black dragon zipped and dodged the breath attacks before he flew higher to the skies before he looked down at the eighty or so dragon's under him. Rearing his head back he let loose a sea of flames that trapped a cluster. These flames were so hot they were colored white to the point they lit up the nighttime sky and turned it to a temporary day. The sheer heat of this attack was like nothing they had ever experienced. This caused a those dragon's that weren't caught in the newly formed ball of white hot flames to dodge lest they get turned into bar be que much like those that were frying in fire.
"E-eh." Kinanna groaned.
"I-it burns." Levy said as Gajeel moved in front of her.
"Stay behind me girls." he said trying to protect them from the heat waves that attacked them.
"I-I'm boiling." Juvia said as she covered her face. They weren't the only one's feeling this intense heat as Elfman and Lisanna were looking at the dragon as he released his roar.
"Acnologia's a manly dragon don't you think?" Elfman asked.
"T-this heat is unlike anything I've ever felt." Lisanna said.
"This is bad. Like really bad." Warren said as he looked at the dragon's attack on his enemies.
"It feels like I'm in an oven, and we're standing way over here." Jet said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's so frigging hot." Droy said as he began to sweat heavily while Acnologia only continued to release hellfire down on the enemy dragon's.
Cana and her group looked at the dragon's assault with wide eyes as well. "That's unbelievable. It's almost as if the sun is crashing down from the sky." Cana said.
"It's over don't you think?" Macao asked.
"I don't know them dragon's definitely sound like they're in pain." Romeo said.
Wakaba smirked at this "If them dragon's can't take a little bit of heat then nobody can." he said as he watched the Dark Dragon released his wrath upon his enemies.
Vijeeter could only look at this in astonishment "I think we better hide." he thought aloud.
Reedus shook his head "I don't think that's going to help us." he said.
"This is the power of the Black Dragon? What do you think Rogue?" Sting asked as they watched as Acnologia rained all holy hell down upon the assaulting dragon's.
"Heh that's one way to up the competition don't you agree?" Rogue commented.
"T-this is what the real Dragon King's Festival is about." Toma said as he watched from afar.
"What do you mean your majesty?" Arcadios asked as he too watched the dragon's fighting.
"Humans fighting humans. Dragon's fighting dragon's. Humans struggling as they're fighting the dragons. Dragon's and humans fighting other humans and dragons. This was meant to be a celebration for our people, and now it's an all out war." the king said.
"Don't worry father I'm sure that Acnologia and the dragon slayers are holding their own against this horde." Hisui said to the king.
"But they're severely out numbered here princess." Arcadios said as the fireball crashed into the ground before it began to expand where it grew to three times its original size causing them to look on in awe.
"Dear god this is a catastrophe." Toma said.
"Amazing!" Erza said.
"It's the Fire Dragon's Roar" Happy said quietly.
"Oh wow that fireball's huge." Lector said with wide eyes.
"You're right about that." Frosch agreed with equally wide eyes.
"If he keeps this up I'm sure there won't be any trace of the kingdom left." Pantherlily said.
"Well if that dragon wants to kill himself then he can do that on his own." Carla said.
"Dear god he could destroy Crocus." Yukino said.
"Amazing. The sound of dragon's dying is such a wonderful melody to my ears." Cobra said as he, the other slayers, and the earth dragon they were fighting stopped when they felt the dragon fire's heat.
"What do you expect they are fighting against Acnologia our greatest enemy even now. In the six hundred years that I have been alive, and when I witnessed his rise, I have never seen Acnologia lose a fight. Not even the great Ten or the other dragon's that were under that man's control can hold a candle to the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse when he goes all out besides Medrith the Almighty Cataclysm." the dragon said.
Acnologia was in the air mouth glowing red from the amount of flames he had released from his mouth. "Is that all eighteen dragons can do when they team up against me? I am Acnologia the Black Dragon King of the Apocalypse my flames are the most powerful to have ever been created." Acnologia said as he swung his tail and crushed the skull of a dragon that was attempting to sneak attack him from above now that the flames were gone killing it where it fell to the ground.
When the smoke cleared it showed sixteen, now seventeen, dead dragon's while the last two were on the verge of death. "Pitiful that you all attack me and you all died due to a little bit of fire. And to think you called yourselves a dragon before you died." Acnologia said. He then looked up to see eighty dragons surrounding him. "Come and do your worst!" Acnologia roared as flames filled his mouth once more. Acnologia is then bombarded by the combined efforts of the last dragon's and their roars. When they are finished are then blown away. "Is that the best you can do?" Acnologia roars as he charges the dragon's.
He draws back a fist and gives a right punch to a dragon before he swings his tail at another dragon knocking it down several meters before he socks another dragon with his other fist. Rearing his head back Acnologia head-butts another dragon as he simultaneously smacks another with his tail again. Turning around he bites another dragon on the arm and tears it off before striking it with a hard right hook sending it away. He then releases a Iron Dragon Roar at a dragon driving it back before it emerges from the beast's back as it drops dead before he swivels his head to in every direction all the while breathing out thick shards of iron.
This causes the dragon's that surround the black dragon to retreat out of the breath attacks range before they get killed. When they are several yards away he smells a dragon coming at him from above and barrel rolls out of the way before covering his right hand in lightning. "Rairyū no Raikiri (Lightning Dragon's Lightning Blade)" Acnologia calls out and plunges the hand encased in electricity through the dragon's back and out the chest killing it. Acnologia ignores the dragon as it falls to the ground already dead and charges the dragon horde and starts twisting and turning. Punching, clawing, biting and breathing elemental attacks at his enemies.
When he stopped it was so sudden, it was a shock as suddenly a dragon tackled Acnologia and they crashed into the ground causing the city to shake. "With your death the world is as good as ours." the dragon roared.
However much to the dragon's horror this doesn't faze Acnologia as Acnologia punches the dragon causing it to fall off of him. Grabbing it around the throat Acnologia chokes it before speaking as he lifts the choking beast into the air while it tried to free itself from the grasp the black dragon had on its throat "It was very courageous of you to try to kill me but I'm afraid that your time is up." Acnologia said and plunges his free claws into the dragon's chest before it rips out the beast's heart and dropping it to the ground. "Who's next!" Acnologia roars as he takes to the skies again to fight his long time enemy.
He then tackled a dragon around its waist, opening his jaw wide before biting down the dragon's head, crushing the beast's skull and killing it, and then released the dragon's bloody corpse as it slowly fell down to the ground and turned his head around, opening his jaw around at the same time Acnologia gathered some magic in between his jaws. He then fired a beam at the dragons flying on the sky, blowing their wings and bodies apart. Some managed to survive after this, but some were fatally wounded by the powerful attack. "Incredible..." Arcadios muttered as he witnessed the power far surpassed anything he had ever seen in his life.
"See Acnologia has it handled." Happy said to the king.
"GET THEM ACNOLOGIA." a guard yells.
"TAKE THEM OUT!" another yelled out.
"I'M ROOTING FOR YOU ACNOLOGIA!" a third yelled.
"YOU'RE THE DRAGON OF DRAGONS ACNOLOGIA!" a fourth guard yelled. Rearing his head back Acnologia releases another sea of flames, but instead of letting it form into a fireball Acnologia starts to spin. Faster and faster he goes until a tornado of flames forms sucking in anything it could grasp in its pull. Lightning starts to spark off it striking the flying dragon's, ground, metal. Water from a lake starts to spin into the tornado surrounding it causing some steam to roll off of it.
The earth starts to crumble where a group of large boulders are pulled into the air and into the elemental vortex. "W-what is that?" Lucy gawked at she saw the elemental tornado. "Oh... my... God..." Hisui mutters.
"Amazing..." Acadios said in awe.
The dragon's in the sky are having trouble resisting the pull of the elemental inferno of what appeared to be literal hell, but some weren't successful in escaping. When the burning whirlwind dies down a circle of burned earth is all that is left with several piles of dragon skeletons that are still smoking from the heat. Acnologia ignores the skeletons and charges his prey. "I won't stop until you're all dead." the dragon roars as he decapitates a dragon with his tail.
Swinging his tail again he cut's off another dragon's arm before he launches several quick punches to the same dragon's chest and face pushing him back a little as Acnologia rears his head back and releases his breath attack at a dragon. The dragon barely manages to dodge the attack, while the attack explodes in the clouds lighting up the sky once again. Acnologia charges a dragon and tackles it to the ground. Raising his head he quickly brought it down on the downed dragon's chest and grabbing the heart of the dragon and ripped it out. Jumping back in the air Acnologia starts to charge the last thirty dragon's.
"Let's finish this!" Acnologia roared out as he rears his head back and releases his breath attack at the dragon point blank killing it. The dragon next to the one he just killed manages to barely dodge the attack, while the attack explodes in the clouds lighting up the sky once again. Acnologia rips off a dragon's head and throws the head at another dragon dazing it. He then slashes the dazed beast's throat killing it as well. Acnologia ignores the dragon as it falls to the ground already dead and charges the dragon horde once more intent to kill them all before dawn.
Turning around he bites another dragon and rips out its throat killing it. He then releases another Fire Dragon's Roar at a dragon driving it back before it emerges from the beast's back as it drops dead before he swivels his head to in every direction all the while breathing out a sea of flames. This causes the dragon's surrounding the black dragon to retreat out of the breath attacks range while a few get killed by the deadly flames. When they are several yards away he smells a dragon coming at him from above and barrel rolls out of the way before it could tackle him down from behind and smacks it on the back of his head with his tail.
He goes to turn around but is tackled by a dragon causing the two dragon's to crash through several buildings. Acnologia stabs the dragon that tackled him in the chest with his tail before throwing it off him and leaping the air quickly reaching a high altitude above the clouds. A dragon quickly charges the Black dragon. Igniting his fist Acnologia just slammed it into the dragon's face and sent him flying back once again. After this was done Acnologia then gave a roar causing several pillars of energy to erupt from the ground with powerful explosions as he drew his head back and clenched his fists while filling his jaw with a massive amount of magic. With a roar he released it straight at the random dragon who dodged to the left and released a wave of flame at his enemy.
Acnologia dodged the flames with ease and gave a roar. Charging one another both acted on instinct. Acnologia growled at his enemy, "I'll end this with one hit." he declared before Acnologia filled his jaws with Magic while the dragon had coated his hand in pure fire. Releasing the attacks they were overcome by the sheer force of their power and a explosion erupted creating a pillar of raw power that lit up the night time sky. Not even the full moon over their heads shown as bright as the explosion had. The powerful explosion caused a large portion of the fighting to stop as many turned their heads towards the bombastic battle.
Jet had just killed another humanoid dragon when he felt the earth shake before the night lit up brightly, "What's that, a flash of light?" he questioned as he knocked down another enemy spawn.
That's when they see the powerful shockwave of the battle reach them. Droy felt his eyes widen before he ducked behind some cover, "A shockwave, seriously?" he cried out.
Elfman was with Lisanna when it reached them, "We need to take cover!" he said as he ran to Lisanna and shielded her with his large body.
Lisanna groaned from the heat, "I-It's hot, incredibly so!" she exclaimed.
While it seemed as if the humans were having a rough time, the shockwave was also blowing away the dragon spawn. Jet couldn't help but smirk as he watched this from his hide away, "I like this, blow more of them away." he said happily.
However what he didn't expect was for a large fireball to crash down and obliterate the spawn which caused him to shield his face from the heat. Droy groaned, "This is it, we're finally done for." as he tired to beat away the heat.
Jet looked to his friend, "Don't you go and give up on me Droy." he told the large man.
Cana was trying to direct some of the wizards to hide as she pointed to a large hole, "Everyone get to the nearest place of cover immediately. Anything will do." she told them as they did as she said and jumped in the hole.
Another shockwave came and forced everyone to cover their eyes, "Aw come on, you have got to be kidding me!" Macao stated in frustration.
Sam was holding to a large wall hoping he didn't get blown away, "I-it feels like I'm being blown away." he said as he held on tighter. When the light dies down the people rise up and see that Acnologia is standing on his hind legs facing his enemy who was also on its hind quarters.
Cana shakes her head in shock, "Amazing, Acnologia hasn't taken on any type of damage. And by the way things have been going, he's been fighting for quite awhile now." she said analytically.
The dragon's each give a roar as they take to the sky once again. Acnologia goes into a quick dive with a growl, "I will make your kind feel fear." he told the dragon. With that Acnologia clashes with the dragon, spins around in the air a couple of times before the two end up crashing down to earth causing it to shake from the impact.
A large gathering of airborne rocks and dust quickly heads towards them and Cana felt her eyes widen, "INCOMING, GET DOWN!" she exclaims loudly as everyone ducks for cover.
Wakaba groans, "What the hell are they doing now?" he questions.
Romeo groans, "Dear god it's like a natural disaster." he states as he tries to stand firm.
Cana has her arms in front of her face as she tries to block the powerful blast of wind, "There is nothing we can do but watch and endure, this fight is way beyond any of us." she tells the kid.
Seconds later Acnologia rises from the cloud with the dragon following shortly afterwards. Racing towards each other Acnologia rolls out of the way and swipes his hand down on the dragons side and rips the beast in half. With a kick he sends it crashing to the ground. With a roar Acnologia rears his head back and releases his breath attack at a dragon. The dragon is unable to doge it and it crashes into the ground and the attack explodes in a large ball of white magic. With that done Acnologia goes to turn, only to be tackled by yet another dragon. Racing at high speeds towards the ground, the two dragon's strike the ground at mach speeds and the ground collapses underneath them where they take the fight below ground with roars of battle soon following the two.
"W-where did they go?" Happy asked frantically.
"I can't answer that." Arcadios told the cat.
XxXMeanwhile-UndergroundXxX
Acnologia gives a shove and causes the ground to rise up above them. The dragon shoves back as hard as it could and causes the earth to topple over several buildings as it turned into gigantic spikes. Acnologia wouldn't have it though and thus returned the favor as he grabbed the dragon once more, and with a mighty shove pushed the dragon out of a large hole where he first murdered the dragon's and left them to rot. The dragon gave a powerful uppercut to Acnologia's chin, but Acnologia hardly felt it and swiped his claws down on the dragon's face drawing blood.
The dragon ignores this and bull rushes Acnologia and pushes him off a steep edge. Acnologia however just flaps his wings a bit and flew to the ceiling of the cave and dives at the dragon. The green dragon looks up just in time for the Dragon King to tackle him and start rolling across the ground as they fight for dominance over the other dragon. Once they're on their feet Acnologia swipes his sharp claws over the dragon's face once more, this time a lot rougher, drawing first blood as well as taking the dragon's eye out of it's socket.
Acnologia draws his head back and then rams it forward head-butting the green dragon on his frill, but this does nothing to it as its frill is made from pure bone and protects the head and therefor his brain from something like a head-butt. The green dragon draws its bloody head back and slams it into Acnologia's head dropping his head to the ground cratering it. With a roar the dragon opens his wings up and flaps them to soar into the sky. However Acnologia doesn't like the idea of his foe fleeing, and thus releases a powerful Breath Attack at the Dragon, followed by another volley of Breath Attacks.
XxXMeanwhileXxX
With Gajeel and Sting they could feel the ground shaking "What's with all this shaking?" Sting asked. Like literally what was happening right now?
Gajeel looked at the ground and notices that several rocks are bouncing and narrows his eyes "There's something beneath us." he stated to himself.
Sting looks to Gajeel "What?" he demands.
Gajeel looks to the blonde " I said there's something beneath us." he repeated heatedly.
Sting narrows his eye's "You don't think it's Acnologia and that dragon he's fighting do you?" he asked.
Gajeel nodded "I think it is, the grounds about to get real unstable." he told the blonde man honestly.
Where Wendy's guild-mate's Elfman, Lisanna and another dragon slayer named Cobra were they too felt the earth-splitting battle beneath them. Elfman narrowed his eyes "Something tells me that this isn't a earthquake." he stated as he punched away another dragon spawn.
Lisanna landed on a crumbling wall and looked to her brother "You don't think that..." she started to say, but trailed off.
Cobra shook his head "Well we saw the damned bastard go down fighting didn't we?" he asked her as he continued to punch the tough scales of the dragon he stood on.
Lisanna nodded "Well on the plus side we don't have to worry about being roasted by another tornado of flame." she said in relief.
Elfman shook his head at her "Don't count on it yet." he told her.
Cobra nodded in agreement "Yeah I can still feel the heat from their fighting up here." he told Lisanna.
Lisanna looked to Cobra "So nobody is safe?' she asked getting a nod from both men.
"As long as Acnologia and them dragon's are still fighting, nobody is" Elfman stated as he kicked away another dragon spawn.
Over at a different location young Romeo looked to his father "Hey dad..." he stated.
Macao looked to his son "I'm here son." he replied only to get a snort from his friend Wakaba.
"Yeah for now at least." the smoker said.
Romeo continued "This shaking, what is it?" he asked his dad.
"It's Acnologia and that other dragon... it has to be." Macao said to the young lad. The trio had seen Acnologia go crashing down into the ground, but since they didn't see Acnologia get up before the shaking it was the most obvious answer he could give his son.
Meanwhile back at the gate the ground suddenly shakes hard causing them to stumble where they quickly go wide eyed when they realized he was underground fighting a dragon. Several pillars of fire, lightning, and energy erupts from the ground before Arcadios grew worried "Everyone find the nearest place you can find cover at NOW!" he ordered. Hisui grabs onto a pillar while Arcadios covers her with his body. Lucy hides behind a large piece of rubble with Mirajane. Yukino is next to the gate hoping the fight doesn't get dragged her direction.
Wendy however hides beside a non destroyed building knowing Acnologia could emerge anywhere from the other side of the city to the point where she has hidden herself. Lucy looks to Yukino and her eye's widen in shock "Yukino come over here and hide, you could get hurt!" she exclaims in worry.
Yukino shakes her head at the blonde woman "Don't worry about me Lucy I'll be alright." she responds. However the ground where they had been standing before begins to glow a deep red before it starts to burn.
Suddenly a monumental pillar of energy erupts from the glowing area where the attacking dragon emerges from the earth quickly followed by Acnologia. The dragon releases a lightning breath attack which Acnologia easily dodges. The attack hits the ground causing a large explosion. Acnologia emerged from the cloud of smoke before he looked at the now clear area seeing the dragon glaring at him. "RRRRRAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH" Acnologia roar's at his foe which causes the dragon to roar right back at him in anger for not killing him.
Acnologia rushes the dragon and tackles it to the ground next to the earth dragon causing another earthquake. Ichiya ace of the Blue Pegasus Guild just yells out "HOT DAMN WHAT WAS THAT?" in shock.
Jenny looks to the left and her eye's widen in shock, "It's A-Acnologia." she stutters out.
"Acnologia is helping well I'll be." Hibiki says in awe. Acnologia cuts the dragon's head off with his hand before he looks at the stone dragon and swings his tail down on it's neck and crushes killing it in the process before he takes to the skies once more.
"He really is the Dragon of the Apocalypse." Wendy mutters as she watches the Black Dragon kill his enemies ruthlessly.
"Well that is something. To take on so many enemies on his own is unlike anything I have ever seen." Ren says watching the dragon pick up where his fight with the remaining dragons which now numbered 2 -30 in total. Medrith who hadn't moved from his perch on the castle tower watches the black dragon kill the dragons before he takes to the skies to fight Acnologia to test the human turned dragon.
"LOOK!" Happy says pointing to the large dragon.
"He's on the move." Arcadios says as he had been watching the dragon for the past three hours. In the sky near the castle, Acnologia and Medrith finally engaged in the battle of pure power.
Slamming into each other and tried to attack every single time they had the chance, creating shockwaves that were so strong that not even the other dragons could approach them. "Acnologia..." Medrith said as he looked at Acnologia as he slammed his head into the black dragon, knocking them back slightly "It's been awhile." the Dragon King said to him.
"It's been far too long." Acnologia said as he smirked while he regained balance and prepared for another Breath Attack, but Medrith was far different from the other dragons due to the fact he was the most powerful, as its dodged the beam almost too easily "And here I thought you're not interested in fighting me or these pathetic humans Medrith." Acnologia said as he wrapped his tail around the bigger monster and tried to bite his head, only to be thrown down to the ground by its larger hands.
"I'm here to kill you." the original apocalypse dragon king said with a wide smirk, "Simple as that." Medrith told him.
"And yet the mighty dragon bowed before a mere human when he was alive that is pathetic." Acnologia taunted before dodging a quick breath attack from the dragon king which lit up the sky as it exploded overhead, Acnologia also used his wings to shield the people watching the fight on the ground as well "Is that all you got?" Acnologia asked tauntingly with a wide smirk.
"I BOW TO NO ONE!" Medrith roared creating a shockwave that shook the city to its core. Oh boy now he was pissed "After I erase your very existence from this world, then the rest of humanity will follow in your footsteps for such a thing." the dragon roared and blasted Acnologia with a powerful breath attack, that sent him across the city before launching him onto the sky.
"That lizard is strong..." Acnologia said as balanced himself in the air. "And yet I thought I would never be able to find a proper opponent. Now this is entertainment." Acnologia thought as he smirked as he was back in control of his movement's. This fight was indeed the perfect thing he was looking for centuries. "Ready for round two?" Acnologia roared.
His enemy merely nodded his head before charging at the Black Dragon roaring, "Come, then and meet your end!" at Acnologia. They crash together where Medrith easily pushes Acnologia back.
"God damn it! Die TRAITOR!" Acnologia roard with rage as he launched another Breath Attack toward the Dragon, colliding with its breath attack and exploded in midair. Medrith's strong scales proved to be too much of a problem, and he couldn't keep his attention to the dragon king only when there were so many dragons stepped in to help him and interrupted their battle.
"Only the dragon slaying magic can pierce the scale of a dragon. You aren't even a dragon Acnologia you are but a human with powers that don't belong to you." Medrith said confidently.
"I am the most powerful dragon slayer to exist, and besides that look at the number of dragon's I killed today." Acnologia said as he glared at Medrith.
"Acnologia!" Lucy cried out as she ran at him, holding a small brown book in her hand.
"What are you doing you stupid girl!" he snapped at her as he used both of his hands to stop a pair of dragons that had noticed Lucy and chose to attack her. "Run! Go get out of here now!" he roared and broke the dragon on his lefts neck with all of his might before sending the other flying away with a heavy punch.
"We found a way to send the dragon back to the past. If the gate is destroyed now, we can change the future and Rogue has no way of coming to the past, none of this would ever happen." Lucy cried out to him, "But we lack the power to destroy the gate, do you think that you can blow it apart?" she asked him.
Acnologia snorted as he smacked a dragon away from the blonde "Of course I can, I'm a dragon." Acnologia said as he turned his head and gathered his energy and aiming at the Eclipse Gate "Get away from the gate, I'll-" but before he could do anything, Medrith lunged at him from behind and slammed his head down to the ground.
"Kya!" Lucy cried out as she was knocked away because of the shockwave "Acnologia!" she said in worry.
"Oh no you don't... we still have a fight to settle here Acnologia." Medrith said with a power hungry grin.
"Why you... Fine if it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you'll get!" Acnologia roared and then launched a punch at the dragon face, with enough force to knock him back but could barely scratch his scale. With a flap of his powerful wings the two dragon's then soared higher into the sky with the rest of the dragon's following the two dragon kings.
Lucy felt her eyes widen in shock, "Look!" she exclaimed.
Wendy felt her eyes widen in shock as well, "What's he doing?" she asked in shock.
Mirajane watched with baited breath, "They're ascending." she stated as she placed a hand to her buxom chest.
Medrith followed after and glared at his enemy "You won't escape from me!" he told the dragon slayer.
Acnologia didn't look back at his foe as he flew higher "I'm not fleeing, and nor will I allow you to flee from this fight." he told Medrith and emerged from the clouds and looked down with power filled eyes. Looking into the eyes of his enemy he growled "I have waited for this moment for so long Medrith. Years ago you betrayed the kingdom of Dragnov and proceed to slaughter countless Dragon's and their Slayer's, and to this day have showed no remorse. It is time to face retribution for the great misfortune you caused my kingdom and its people so long ago." Acnologia said angrily.
"I could care less about that pile of rubble you call a kingdom. On the other hand I will take great joy in making you pay for killing all of the dragon's I have ruled over." Medrith growled angrily.
"Well seeing as I am at this height, I no longer have to hold back to protect the humans." he told Medrith. "Prepare to face judgment for your crimes." he told Medreth angrily and released a mighty roar at his enemy.
Acnologia growled in anger, his eyes glowing red with rage "Don't you see that I've already paid my price?! All I care about is eliminating all of the dragon's in this world that mean harm to it, INCLUDING YOU!" Acnologia roared, however he didn't notice that Medrith was diving and missed the chance to nearly rip the Primordial Dragon King's throat out. Medrith leaned out of the way of a powerful strike and grabbed his foe behind the neck and wrapped his free arm around Acnologia with a gleam in his eyes. With a flap of his wings Medrith begun to dive with the still trapped 'Dragon King of the Apocalypse' being forced to move with his enemy.
Emerging from the clouds the dragons crashed into the mountain beneath them so hard the entire thing was turned to dust from the sheer force behind their fall. Medrith rose from the dust and gave a mighty roar at Acnologia while the dust rolled off his body. Acnologia flapped his wings to clear the air and roared in tandem with his foe. Acnologia rushed towards Medrith, but the dragon swiped at his opponent and then struck him across the face.
Acnologia gave a roar and released another blast of energy at the dragon. Medrith of course dodged where the energy slammed into the ground and created another explosion. Acnologia drew his head back once again and released the mighty attack at Medrith. Medrith felt his eyes widen and flapped his wings and dodged the attack by going over it. The energy soared by him and exploded in the clouds and once more lit the night sky up. With that the fight of kings begun, igniting his fist Acnologia slammed it into Medrith's face and sent him flying back once again.
After this was done Medrith then gave a roar causing several pillars of energy to erupt from the ground with powerful explosions as he drew his head back and clenched his fists while filling his jaw with a massive amount of magic. With a roar he released it straight at Acnologia who dodged to the left and released a wave of flame at his enemy. Medrith easily dodged the flames with ease and gave a roar. Charging one another both acted on instinct. Acnologia filled his jaws with Energy Magic while Medrith coated his hand in pure fire. Releasing the attacks they were overcome by the sheer force of their power and a explosion erupted creating a pillar of raw power that lit up the night time sky.
The humans had covered their eyes to ensure they didn't go blind from the harsh light given off by the explosion. When the light died down it showed Acnologia and Medrith standing on their hind legs facing each other with their teeth bared in rage. Flapping their wings they took to the sky. Medrith flew a bit higher and looked at Acnologia with a snarl "I'll make sure that this fight will be your last you lowly human!" where they clashed with one another once again. Recovering swiftly Acnologia drew his head back and filled his maw with his power and released the mighty attack from his jaws where it flew at Medrith with powerful force.
Medrith seeing this drew his own head back and released a similar wave of energy from his own mouth where the two attacks collided in the middle and formed a even more powerful explosion that easily forced the clouds to evaporate in a circular formation around the two of them as the sphere of energy over took the skies. When the explosion died down Acnologia's and Medrith's eyes were glowing with power and the charged each other once more. Their skulls met in the middle and Acnologia swung his tail at Medrith and with a powerful strike his head was reared back. Acnologia took this as his chance and flew even higher into the clouds to fight his enemy.
On the ground-
Hisui watched as the two Kings fought tooth and nail, landing such powerful blows on the other it felt as if the heavens felt the pain of each strike. However, the two of them had disappeared, that is until Carla gave a gasp and pointed towards the sky "Look, over there!" she exclaimed as the large group of humans turned to face the dragons fighting in mortal combat. Explosion after explosion lit the clouds up as the mythological creatures fought.
Arcadios narrowed his eyes as he watched the fight "Neither of them seems to be wavering at all." he said as one of the black dragon kings gave a roar that nearly split the heavens open.
A loud roar drew their attention back to the sky. The black and blue dragon grinned darkly and flapped his wings and soared higher. Medrith growled and gave chase. Acnologia looked down as he sensed his enemy preparing for an attack. Dodging a pillar of energy thanks to his enemies Breath Attack he then dove at his enemy and the two clashed in the sky once again. Explosion after explosion lit the clouds alight as Dragon and Dragon Slayer did battle.
Carla took a deep breath to calm her nerves "I honestly never expected to encounter Acnologia again." she said quietly.
Arcadios looked at the dragon's as the cat spoke, "Let's just be glad that for once we have such a monster as him on our side otherwise this battle would have been lost before it ever began.' he said to them.
Igniting his fist Acnologia slammed it into Medrith's face and sent him flying back once again. After this was done Acnologia then gave a roar causing several pillars of energy to erupt from the ground with powerful explosions as he drew his head back and clenched his fists while filling his jaw with a massive amount of magic. With a roar he released it straight at Medrith who dodged to the left and released a wave of flame at his enemy.
Acnologia dodged the flames with ease and gave a roar. Charging one another both acted on instinct. Acnologia filled his jaws with Magic while Medrith coated his hand in pure fire. Releasing the attacks they were once more overcome by the sheer force of their power and a explosion erupted creating a pillar of raw power that lit up the night time sky. The humans had covered their eyes to ensure they didn't go blind from the harsh light given off by the explosion. When the light died down it showed Acnologia and Medrith standing on their hind legs facing each other with their teeth bared in rage.
Medrith had honestly never expected his foe to be this powerful, and Acnologia still wasn't willing to hold back against the only creature powerful enough to hurt him. Flapping their wings they took to the sky. Acnologia flew a bit higher and dove at Medrith with a snarl "I'll make sure that this fight will be your last!" where they clashed with one another. Roaring at one another they crashed into the ground and shook the world.
Acnologia rushed towards Medrith, but the dragon swiped at his opponent and then struck him across the face. Acnologia gave a roar and released another blast of energy at the dragon. Medrith of course dodged where the energy slammed into the ground and created another explosion. Acnologia drew his head back again and released the mighty attack at Medrith utterly surprising with how foast he attacked again. Medrith felt his eyes widen and flapped his wings and dodged the attack by going over it. The energy soared by him and exploded in the clouds and once more lit the night sky up.
Medrith swung his tail to try and hit Acnologia again, but the dragon slayer was already seeing it and swung his own tail where they met in the middle. Changing tactic Medrith latched onto his enemy by the horn while Acnologia did the same. Acnologia growled and placed his feet on his enemies chest and shoved him away. Once again the two filled their jaws up and released them towards their enemy where another large explosion filled the clouds. Charging at his enemy Acnologia shoved his shoulder into Medrith and sent him rolling across the air. Medrith released a roar of outrage and charged at his foe once again.
Medrith had spun around and tried to deliver a finishing blow, but Acnologia was prepared and filled his jaws with flame and spun. As he did so he managed to envelope his enemy in an extremely powerful fireball. Medrith was given no chance of escape as he was hurled into the ground as his enemies own powerful attack decimated more than twice the amount of mountains he had destroyed before with frightening ease. Medrith of course remained unharmed and flew through the flames where he emerged from them with his arm drew back.
With a mighty roar he swung at his enemy and sent him flying back. Recovering swiftly Acnologia dove at his enemy. Coating his foot in flame Acnologia launched a powerful kick at Medrith and thus returned the favor and sent his foe flaying back from the blow. Medrith grinned darkly and flapped his wings and soared higher. Acnologia growled and gave chase. Medrith looked down as he sensed his enemy preparing for an attack. Dodging a pillar of energy thanks to his enemies Breath Attack Medrith then dove at his foe and the two clashed in the sky once again.
Explosion after explosion lit the clouds alight as Dragon and Dragon Slayer did battle. It was earth inspiring for both human and dragon alike to watch such a spectacle. Acnologia reared his head back and bellowed his power to the world where upon laying his eyes on his enemy they glowed a golden color to show that he was now getting serious in his fight. Acnologia held his hand up and a golden glow above his hand before it extended in a large beam "Kinrin Tensei Baku (Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion)" Acnologia called out as he swung the beam of energy down at Medrith.
The beam of light flashed down. Medrith seeing this dodged to the left, but wasn't fast enough to fully dodge the beam of deadly magic as it removed his arm off his body. This caused Medrith to grow even madder as he looked at Acnologia "You're gonna pay for that you insolent human!" he roared as he used his magic to quickly regrow the missing limb.
Acnologia didn't say anything except "We'll see." causing Medrith to roar in outrage.
With that the two dragon's charged where they crashed into each other. This had the effect of created powerful blasts of air which kept the weaker dragon's from interfering with their fight. Medrith gave a roar of "Tengoku no Hōrei (Heaven's Decree)" and then it begun... The heavens began to darken slightly as massive meteorites begun to descend into the atmosphere. They were not bigger than the dragon king, but still big enough. There were about twenty of them falling from the sky. Acnologia tried to navigate around the meteorites but realized there were just too many of them to dodge. He looked up before releasing another wave of his dragon's roar, tearing apart any meteorite that may try to hit him.
One more started to fall towards him, and the dragon king furiously slammed his monstrous fist into the meteorite, crushing it in one blow. With that he had gotten past the meteorites and looked towards Medrith and growled at his enemy. And with that their battle begun anew, there were no more dragon's to interfere with their fight, no humans, no pesky freaks that controlled them. It was just Dragon King versus Dragon King, and it was time to show the world why they were dubbed as such.
Blow after blow was exchanged, and with each trade they lit the night up with their power. Eventually Acnologia managed to bring his foe low enough to the ground and landed a sneak attack to him and sent Medrith falling to the ground on his back. Acnologia landed on top of him and pressed his talons into Medrith's chest and begun to shove him into the earth with raw power, instantly digging the First Dragon King into the earth.
Acnologia grinned in excitement towards his enemy "Is that all you are capable of? I had expected more from the King of the Apocalyptic Cataclysm Medrith." Acnologia stated.
Medrith glared at Acnologia "Well I had honestly expected less of you, but you are more powerful than I had originally thought you were." he responded to Acnologia.
The Black Dragon of the Apocalypse grinned at his foe "Well then Medrith, show me how your death will be like." he stated.
Medrith snorted "I already told you human, I'm going to kill you." the dragon said with a growl as he grabbed Acnologia by the neck and turned the tables around to where he was pinned by Medrith.
"Now Acnologia!" Hisui yelled.
"Kill him!" Arcadios cried and Acnologia launched a powerful punch straight to Medrith's jaw, but it only dazes him, but it was enough to dislodge the dragon from pinning him down.
Acnologia reared his head around and fired another Breath Attack, adding more power than any other breath attack he had made before, "DIE!" Acnologia roars.
As the attack hits Medrith it exploded, resulting in an enormous dome of blue energy that turned the night into day before the orb was then launched into the air. "Did I get him?" Acnologia asked himself as he looked up.
That attack should've been able to... "DAMN YOU!" a heavily wounded, but pretty much still alive Medrith roared as he flew down and unleashed the biggest and most powerful breath attack anyone had ever seen, that packed enough power to wipe out a large amount of land. Acnologia gathers his own Breath Attack using some of his energy to match up to Medrith the Cataclysm.
As the two dragon breath attacks collide the night turned to day with how bright the explosion was which was followed by a very powerful shockwave that spread throughout the land. "THIS WILL BE YOUR END HUMAN!" Medrith roared and flew down at Acnologia, who was fully prepared for it.
"Brave words but they come from the mouth of one soon to be dead! Do your worst Medrith!" Acnologia retorted as he took a strong leap into the air and slammed into the incoming Dragon of the Cataclysm.
Meanwhile on the ground Lucy and the spirits were trying to bring down the gate, however it was more trouble than what she had originally thought. "That's what I call sturdy..." Lucy gasped as she took a break.
She had been trying to destroy the gate but it just wouldn't budge, even in the slightest. "I didn't think it'd be this un'moo'vable." Taurus commented as he held his axe in frustration.
"Eh...? Is that...?" Yukino gasped and everyone looked up as a dark shape flew right towards them. With that the body of a dragon crashed next to the gate and made it fall on it's back.
"The Gate fell!" Happy cried out in as he threw his paws into the air.
"Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed as she saw the dragon slayer standing over his now defeated opponents.
"Unbelievable...t-the dragon was defeated by..." Arcadious gasped with shock as he stared at the downed dragon.
"Natsu are you okay?" Lucy asked as she fluttered up to her partner.
"Yeah..." Natsu nodded his head while looking around "...but where is Acno..." he began to say. He immediately got his answer when something crashed down to the ground next to him, followed by a massive fist of a dragon that coated in pure crimson energy. A massive shockwave that shook the entire city was created, blowing away almost anything that were around in two hundred feet radius.
Natsu grabbed Lucy and Happy and covered her away from the energy released from the powerful iron fist attack, as Laxus covered the princess and Wendy with his own body, but all of them were soon blown away into the air and landed roughly down to the ground several feet away. "Acnologia-san!" Yukino cried, as she saw the man lying on the ground underneath Medrith's fist, his face bloody before she was sent away as well.
"How is that possible?" Sting cried out in shock at the sight of the Dragon King "I thought all the dragon's were dead?" he yelled out in rage. Naruto gritted his teeth in pain and soon cough up blood as he could feel the bones, organs in his body completely shattered.
The dragon sure knew how to take its opportunity to take him down. When he/Acnologia decided to lower his guard and turned away when Medrith's body started glowing, thinking that there was no point of fighting when his enemy was going to return to the past again, thinking that one of the slayers destroyed the gate, it launched a breath attack directly at his body and cut his connection with his transformation, refusing to return to the past with sheer power alone if that was what was happening. "To think..." Naruto smirked at the gigantic dragon "You're able to resist the power of something like that, Medrith... *Cough* You really are a monster." he said with a bloody grin on his face.
He gritted his teeth as Medrith slammed another fist down his body. "I will have to give you credit, foolish human. Not even my own hatchlings were able to leave this much damage on my body when I taught them to fight... you sure are something else." Medrith said as he smirked, "But then again, you're just that... a mere human can never be able to defeat a dragon." the dragon said to the man as he tried to crush him underfoot to end the world.
"Well, when you don't have any proper fight like this in years, shit happens." Naruto smirked and closed his eyes as his body was then wrapped in energy again, and his dragon form materialized with his mouth opened wide for a massive Breath Attack. His hands grabbed Medrith's wrist to stop him from escaping "But then again, a mere dragon can never be able to defeat me the last true descendant of god's!" Acnologia roared out before he then launched the attack into Medrith's gut and sent him into the air while crying out in pain.
The Black Dragon stood up as the Breath Attack exploded several miles away from them. Looking left he grabbed a bent beam and jumped into the air heading to Medrith's falling body before slashing his makeshift sword in a swing toward the neck of the dragon, removing his head from his body. The former dragon king's body and its separated head crashed down in a loud *BOOM*, and Acnologia soon returned to the ground as well and allowed himself to stand tall with the bloody beam in his hand.
End: OST DRAGON KING
Mages across the city looked at him in awe, mouth wide agape because of the display in power. "RRRRAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!" Acnologia roared out, but the sight of the powerful beast... a god like dragon slayer would never be forgotten. Turning to the gate he walked to it as the eclipse moon disappeared. Swinging his tail down on it he crushed it underneath his tail ridding the world of the time machine forever. It was now over... the Grand Magic Game, the Dragon King Festival... it's all over. Acnologia quickly shifted back into his human form and released a huff, god was he exhausted from such a battle. Tiring, but totally worth all the energy he used to fight Medrith the Cataclysm.
And that is a wrap. If you want it then please PM me and I will see you in the next chapter/story that will come to be in the future.
