He looked around him. His pink hair barely covering his eyes and the emotions that they held. Hate. Anger. Sadness. Regret. Resentment. Love. Shame. And something he only felt twice before, 'fear'. This fear was greater than what he had felt when fighting a certain brunette. It was different from not being capable of defeating a certain monster of a man. It was as bad as what he feels now if not worse.
But it wasn't directed to any other entity or man.
No. This was directed to him. And that him was himself.
Yes, he was scared of himself. In his countless adventures he fought with monsters, beasts, demons, humans who could not be defined as one and heck, he even fought against dragons from the past and foes from the future. He had even defeated a God slayer. Who was supposedly of higher class of slayer than him. His achievements were incredible! One hit a war God, destroyed tower of heaven, won against the twin dragons of sabertooth and that was not even the greatest of his achievements. It was clear that he was strong.
He was also brave. Bravest of them all so, what did he have to fear?(except a certain redhead I am sure u all know). It was what he could do and his darker side. And as if that was not enough realisation hit him and it hit him hard. He looked around furiously hoping to find them ok! Hoping that they were alive! But his hopes soon crumbled as he saw them dead. Burns all over their bodies. Their eyes though dead held horror and disappointment(maybe feeling of being betrayed) in them. He then realised he did this. He killed the very family he swore his life to. But, he wanted to deny it so bad...
"Everyone? C'mon wake up!"he cried in desperation. His father he had looked for was already killed in front of his eyes. He didn't want his remaining family/friends/comrades to die too. The last times he was this sad was when future Lucy was killed and Igneel had died. This was happening way too FAST! Still crying he held onto the bodies of his death comrades. Hoping he was dreaming and he would wake up. He did not seem willing to let go anytime soon...
"Nastu..."the person who called out to the now known Natsu looked at him with Sadness and guilt. "Natsu..."he said again. This was not going anywhere. Firmly he said, "Natsu, just stop they are long dead..." he paused for a response. All he got was sounds of crying. It was sad even for his standards. Suddenly, the sound of mourning and crying stopped. "Hehe..." did he hear that right? His brother was laughing? This got him confused. He had hoped that had not happened to Nastu...
"Ahahahaha! Gyahahahaha!" the giggles turned into laughter and his fears came true. Natsu was going insane. He looked Natsu in the eye. The eyes had lost all signs of sanity. He laughed more and as suddenly as it began it stopped. "Zeref..." he simply said This now known Zeref was worried. "You were right. This world is not worth it..." Zeref not wanting to believe what he heard. He offered, "I can give you another chance to stop me. I will stop this war and wait for you in Alvalez so,..." but before he could finish.
Natsu smiled menacingly as he said, "The world isn't worth it anymore. I lost the reason to what I lived and protected it for. What's the point if I don't have my friends anymore. My guild..." he paused and looked Zeref in the eye. Then, continued, "Was destroyed and slaughtered. By you and your little army. Brother..."
He looked around. He found it! He found the sword! He picked it up only for it to cut him on contact. But, he couldn't feel any pain. Zeref understood this and stayed there worried. Little did they know that they had company. She was a blonde that looked like she was in her teens. She, too, was worried and sad for them.
The shield of spriggan or the 'Spriggan Twelve' came towards Spriggan or simply Zeref their emperor. They stood on guard and ready to fight seeing Natsu had a sword. But, what happened nest shocked them to their core.
Natsu stabbed himself and opened his fronts. The organs that were once inside came out. Why was Natsu, of all people doing this? The pinkette was a cheerful bastard who could bring anyone out of depression.
"Brother... this world is too cruel. I can't live anymore so, I am going to die. I am leaving everything to you. More to say, I am leaving you so suffer on your own. Gya! "He stabbed even deeper. The blonde could not longer bear seeing him like this so she ran to him and hold him suddenly.
"Mavis... " Zeref said with sadness. Mavis oozed at him. Waiting for him to continue...
"Let's send Natsu to another world..." Mavis looked at him with wide eyes. "Natsu's soul is broken " It can't be repaired even if I go back in time... It won't heal. So he can't wait for Mavis to process the information he gave her... Luckily since she was very smart it did not take much time...
"So, you want to send him to another world hoping his will heal since it has different properties from our own" she stated " And also something else Zeref added. Mavis frowned thinking of what could be the reason surely it wouldn't be...
" I want to send him away never to come back to this horrible world", Zeref continued " I want him to be in a place where he can make new comrades without any worry or danger...
"Okay, let's do it for his sake..."
" Thou calls thy God. God of world's and create. The dark and light must fuse... Thy hast suffered thou's mistake... For that, thou calls upon God to send thy..."
"Last Bright Black Art..."
"Rethona Dlrow!" they chanted.
A bright light shines upon Natsu as if God himself departed on earth. The light shined so bright that the entire world was glowing. Acnologia too felt the power. The fire God dragon looked at the source of the light. Natsu slowly started dissappearing to light and his soul faded...
