"Talking"

'Thinking'

Flashback

Magic/Importance

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

His vision fills with white. The world around him slows to a stop. He stands in front of a familiar yet unknown guild hall. Taking a step forward to the agape doors. He hears nothing, not even his own footsteps. Finally, as he makes his way into the door, he is greeted with a sight that warms his heart.

The entirety of the guild was laughing and dancing around the room. They were in a joyous mood. It seems that the war was over and won. Each member was there along with a few that he didn't know. His family made him miss this time; the time where they didn't have to care; a place where they all could laugh and have fun without consequence.

Looking around the room, a salmon-haired man came upon a sight that made the smile on his face turn into an even more splitting grin. Sitting in chairs was Gray, Lucy, Happy, and Wendy with some cards into his hands. There were poker chips strewn across the table. They were playing a game of Texas Hold'Em poker. He was always a bit of a little shit when they played poker. He would always try and win no matter what. However, when Wendy wanted to play, he would always try to make her win no matter what.

Walking around to see her hand, he saw that she has a queen and king of spades. Good hand. He looked to see that it was Lucy's time to deal, and judging by the amount of chips on the table, Happy was winning. As he walked over to the deck, he tried to grab it and surprisingly his hand interacted with it. Picking up the deck, he sifts through the deck to find the ace, jack and ten of spades. Looking at the table, he makes note that Lucy had already discarded a card and was about to put down the first three cards. So he places the three cards in his hands onto the top of the deck, and places it back into Lucy's hand.

He walks back around the table to where Wendy is sitting. He leans down to he is level with her ear and whispers into it,

"Feint a weaker hand, make sure not to show it though, just trust me, it's your win." he said

Natsu smirks deviously, knowing that Happy will be devastated. Even in this weird white world he would still help Wendy win. Looking around the guild hall, he needed to know what the fuck is this world. It's been around ten minutes since he has woken up in this world. Taking his eyes away from the poker game, he now more closely looks around the room. He investigates the whole plate looking for any little detail that was out of place. So far nothing that would seem to cause suspicion.

'Ok. Think Natsu. Think!' he thought. 'What was the last thing that you remember.'

After giving himself some time to ponder, he recalls him fighting against Zeref in open combat at the beginning of a fight. It took a lot out of him, and he was about to win, but then Zeref revealed what Natsu really was and what would happen if he killed him. So when Natsu was about to deal the final blow, Happy jumped in the way and blocked the attack. Then when he was back at Fairy Tail, he passed out.

If that is all that he remembered, then what could this place be. It couldn't be Edolas, it's not cleanse to the place at all. If it's not that, then what is it? That was when his eyes leveled with two pairs of eyes that seemed to show some satisfaction on what they were doing. One was ocean blue and the other was chocolate brown. They were deep in a conversion by the looks of it, and they both were wearing casual clothes. One was sitting with a plate of Kuzumochi and the other with a slice of strawberry cake in front of them. These two beauties were Mirajane Strauss and Erza Scarlet. These two were the ones that brought him more joy than they would ever know. A feeling in his chest grew from his heart. His eyes started to water for no reason. He had a feeling that what was happening right now was not something good. If he saw this, then from what he could figure out that this had something to do with death.

The feeling that was spreading through his chest turned cold when he saw two more individuals sitting next to the two. One was a large man with a long coat left on his shoulders with short blonde hair. The other was a man of similar stature as Natsu himself with long blue hair and a red tattoo on his face. These were two people that he despised and respected at the same time. These two were powerful mages that he could respect, but they were also the ones that had taken the loves of his lives.

It was rare for him to see both of them in the same place, especially since Jellal is still technically a fugitive and that the other is always out on missions. He guesses that the fact he isn't there, they are now there to replace him in their hearts. He could see that the two were both looking at each other with a small smirk. They seemed happy. Even with this feeling that was spreading through his chest, he couldn't get mad at the two of them for loving them. However, if they were to ever hurt them, he would come out of whatever this world is and would royally fuck there lives up. They would beg for him to stop but he would take no such nonsense. They were the loves of his life if he could not have them. If the people he respected didn't want to treat them right, they would regret ever going near them.

Slowly pain filled his head as he fell to the floor writhing. Screaming, his vision started to turn white.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

His body shot up from the bed that he was laying on. His breath was heavy and his body was covered in sweat. A pair of brown eyes peered into his own onyx ones. Next to him, there was a body covered in a sheet, and Natsu heard a squeal of happiness from right next to him. Tears started to flow down his eyes as he finally noticed that it was Lucy and Happy next to him. He wasn't dead, at least yet. Before Lucy or Happy could say anything, he stood up from the bed and looked around the room, nearly tossing Lucy off the bed when he stood up. He was in some sort of celler. Lucy finally got the courage to speak:

"Are you alright Natsu?" she asked hesitantly. "You've been in a coma for almost half a day. You may not be ready for the full movement you're doing right now," her voice got even more timid than Wendy's ever could since Natsu's eyes bore into her own. His face was set dead straight and had no emotion in it at all. The room's tense atmosphere was lost in a moment when Lucy happened to glance down Natsu's body, which was very much naked.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Squealed Lucy as she covered her eyes but Natsu could have sworn that he saw a small hole between the fingers of Lucy. "What do you think you're doing walking around naked like that, buffoon?" looking down he finally noticed his state of dress, and a splitting grin came upon his face.

"What, Lucy? Do you like what ya see?" Natsu asked as he posed in a ridiculous position as he flexed his well toned body. Laughing slightly to himself he went over to a table which had a towel laid across it. Wrapping it around his waist, he turned back to find Lucy looking away. The large grin turns into a soft smile.

"You can look now. I'm dressed just enough," he said

"I don't believe you!" she yelled. "Like, how did you not notice that you were naked?"

"Well, I went unconscious dressed. I was not expecting to be undressed when I woke up," he stated. "And you can trust me that I'm dressed cuz I know you were peeking through your fingers." In front of him, steam slowly started to raise off Lucy's face as it turned so red it made Erza's hair look pale in comparison. Finally, once she turns around and sees the towel wrapped around his waist, she puts her hands down.

"So, where were we?" Natsu asked before Lucy or Happy, who has been surprisingly quiet for the whole time he's been awake, could say. "I would also like a rundown of anything important that has happened since I went into that coma."

Both of them had a look of surprise on their face. Standing in front of them was not the Natsu that they normally know. From what little they have interacted with him since he woke up, something must have happened in his mind. His eyes showed deceit, but neither of them seemed to pick that up.

"What happened to you while you were in the coma?" Happy asked, speaking for the first time since he woke up.

"I'll answer it if you'll answer mine," Natsu said, his features losing any emotion they had. He seemed to be plagued with something, but at the same time he seemed to finally accept something about himself. Finally letting up, Lucy and Happy told Natsu about everything that has happened since he went under like Erza and Wendy fighting Irene, Sting beating Rahkeid, and many more important things that had happened. When they had finished Natsu looked to be in deep thought.

'So with many variables finally finished and Zeref still in the Fairy Tail guild building, I'm going to have to head there next. I just have to worry about Acnalogia. I can't let him catch me off guard,' he thought as he paced around the room.

Finally coming to a stop his eyes lock on with the two pairs staring back expectantly back at him. Sighing, he rubs his forehead and smiles:

"So, while I would like to talk with you two about what happened when I was in a coma," he started "I don't believe that we have the time for the full conversation. So, I'll make a promise to you two: once this war is over, I will talk with both of you about what happened, ok?" he asked them and looked into their eyes for confirmation that this was fine.

"Why can't it be now?" Happy demand with Lucy, who nodded along.

"Because we do not have the time for this conversation, unless you want to hear the super condensed version which is like two seconds and has no details!" Natsu snarked back "And right now is not the right time. I'm still coming to terms with what happened, but don't worry, it isn't something bad. You two will also be able to ask any question you like, and I will answer no matter what question it is," he said looking them directly in the eye again. The both of them slowly nodded to him as he smiled at them.

"Alright now is time for us to get dressed," he said, "and seriously, where are my clothes?" Natsu asked.

Over the next few minutes, he and Lucy slowly started to find their clothes and get dressed. Taking a breath, Natsu started to roll his shoulders back, feeling like his body was a million years old for some weird reason. Something in his body just felt off. Almost like he was losing movement in his body from something. It could be that he has fully accepted himself as a demon, human, and dragon. His body could just be getting used to it. Shrugging off this feeling, he slowly started to follow his two other compatriots out of the building onto the field that was located just outside of it.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Natsu, I hope you know what you have just chosen. For it may lead to your death," Igneel said

"I would hope so too, Igneel, but as much as I want to say I have enough power as I am now, taking on both seeds is my only choice to come on a level anywhere close to Zeref and Acnalogia," Natsu stated with conviction. "If I must sacrifice myself for that, then so be it. My family will live on in my place."

Igneel looked down at him with a look of pride and contempt. For he looked upon a Natsu that has changed since he last saw him. He has grown and matured beyond what even Igneel himself thought possible. However, judging by what he has seen from his son, he knows that without one of the seeds, he would not be able to beat his two enemies. However, when he heard Natsu saying he will be taking both of them, he knew that either he was trying to kill himself or the situation was just that desperate.

"Since you seem so contemptuous to see this through, I will help you through it, for your body will immediately start to destroy itself from the inside," Igneel said. "When you fully accept the two seeds, I will use my Soul to keep your body together for as long as possible. In that time you will have full control over your dragon and demon powers. As my final order as the King of the Fire Dragons, I give you permission to use the forbidden technique."

"WHAT?! Won't you die if you try and hold my body together?" Natsu asked "Did you also say I could use that technique?"

"Natsu, I've lived a good long life for many years and had two mates. Although they may have passed, their souls are eternally bonded to mine, and they are waiting for me on the other side. I just want to pass on and go live my next life. I've raised you as a child, and I have gotten to see you grow into a strong young man. My time as Igneel the great Fire Dragon King is over. It's time for me to pass on the mantle. As such, you have finally been deemed as a worthy successor although with your reign being very short. And yes, Natsu, you may use that technique," Igneel elucidate.

"Wait, you've just dropped a whole lot on me in a few seconds, Dad. So let me try and condense this down to something I can understand. You, Igneel, will sacrifice your soul to keep me together to fight my two great enemies, and then pass on after. On top of that bombshell, you have also decided to bestow me with the title of Fire Dragon King. Finally, I'm allowed to use the final technique. Well, damn. I didn't think that I would ever see this coming," Natsu summarized as short as possible. A moment of silence followed that, which was then followed by roaring laughter by the both of them.

After a few moments, they both stopped and stared at each other sadly, for this will probably be the last time that they see each other ever. Natsu's face slowly started to tear up for the first time in a long time. He brought his eyes to be looking directly with Igneel.

"Are you one hundred percent sure about this because one it starts there is no going back," Igneel asked one last time.

"Yes, I am sure," Natsu stated with conviction.

"Then I bestow onto the ancestors of the dragons who bestowed this onto me, the domain over fire as the new Fire Dragon King. For the rest of your life and all eternity you shall be bathed in the fires so hot it burns your enemies but so comforting that it keeps your loved ones warm at night. May your will be made of iron but your judgment to be fair. May you reign supreme over your domain for many years to come, and a successor just as you have come along and take your place. For you are now named the new Fire Dragon King," Igneel declared having gradually gotten louder over time.

Igneel opened his large maw, and Natsu starred as fire started to gather at the edge of his mouth. As he looked at his father, Natsu stood his ground. After a moment's wait, fire spewed out of his father's mouth and headed right for him. The last thing that Natsu saw was the flames engulfing his vision.

Igneel stood, looking at where Natsu once stood as the flames dissipated. Igneel's mind slowly ponders how things had turned out this way. However, there was nothing he could do. Natsu had made his choice. Igneel lets a smile grace his face.

"Always reckless and a surprise, Natsu. I hope this experience does not change that in the next life," Igneel spoke out loud to nothing as he laid down and got ready to hold Natsu's body together.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Erza, shocked at her mother's corpse, stares down at the pool of blood that was forming around the body. Here was an opponent that was world stronger than she ever was. something that if she was all honest, she didn't deserve to win, for her mother's power was overwhelming.

She looks over to the currently tired body of Wendy. She was slumped against a tree that was half blown up from their fight. Looking back at the body she said out loud.

"Why did you do it? Why did you have to leave me? We could have been something!" she said, not accepting the truth that her mother had told her. Silence followed, however a soft chuckle followed, barely audible from where she was stationed. Looking in shock, she looked around preparing for another fight, until she realized that it was coming from the body on the floor right in front of her.

"Maybe if we had time, however, we will never know now. It is time for me to pass," the body of her mother, Irene, slowly spoke. Erza looked at the body with sadness, however she felt an underlying resentment build up in her. She felt like she wasn't getting the full story. Before she could say anything, the small chuckling stopped completely, and she saw Irene's body pale completely.

Sighing to herself, Erza turned around just to find Natsu staring at her from a few feet away. His onyx eyes stared directly into her own brown ones. The look on his face unnerved her like she was staring into someone that wasn't Natsu. His eyes that normally seemed like an endless ocean of hope were an endless pit of nothing. His face eventually split into a small grin. He walked up to her and smiled.

"It's good to see that you're ok," Natsu said in a secret tone. The way his body was positioned showed that he was also hiding something. She has known him long enough to tell when he would be lying. Ignoring that for a moment she walked up to him and started to check all around him. Looking at him from all angles and seeing as he looked perfectly fine she said.

"You too, you seem to be in better shape than I am currently," Erza smiled at him. "I hope everything is al-" before she could finish the rest of her sentence Natsu captured Erza's lips with his own, eye closing. He had covered the distance so fast she was unable to follow him with her eyes. Now she was staring, eyes wide, as Natsu kissed her. She slowly closed her eyes and melted into the passionate kiss. Natsu pulls back and smiles at her as she opens her eyes. However, the most unnerving thing is that his eyes never changed from their emotionless state.

"Erza, I'd like to thank you for being there for me in all my times of need and for never forgetting about your family," Natsu avowed, scaring Erza slightly. "I would also like to say that I love you, I love you a lot. However there is one problem, my heart is split into two by two beautiful girls. Whether you hate me or love me is up to you. So I will leave you a question before I go, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, abruptly turning around and walking away. Words left her as she watched the salmon haired dragon slayer walk away into the distance. The winds pick up and her hair starts to flutter in her vision. It passes over Natsu's figure, and where it clears he is gone from view.

"I love you with all my heart…" Erza said to nothing as a single tear slowly streamed down her face.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Walking through the medical tents, Mirajane comes up to the large table which had the third master of Fairy Tail laid on it. His solid stone features set in the manner of concentration, for his last action was to use a powerful spell to stop Zeref. Sitting next to him walking around and trying to figure out how to un encase him in the stone was Porlyusica. She was frantically moving about and making sure that he was ok.

"Is he doing ok?" Mirajane asked worriedly. She could hear the moaning and groaning of all of the injured mages. Medics run here and there making sure that each of the patients were ok and not going into shock. A tent was dedicated for patients in critical conditions. The medical mages and doctors were all down there.

"So far he is just encased in the stone, however his magic pool is slowly dwindling for it is feeding the stone itself," Porlyusica said. "It is very hard for me to say anything at this point, but I'm working as hard as I can to fix this. It would be best if you would leave. It is hard for me to work with someone looking over my shoulder," Porlyusica started with a bit of annoyance. However, he once gained a slight down trodden face as Mira left.

"We have lost so many, and at what cost, for a madman to try and conquer the world for he didn't like the hand he was dealt." she mumbled to herself.

Mira came out of the long line of tents to an open field which has remained untouched for this was a zone for medics and it was against the laws of war.

Walking out she found a collection of trees and rocks that were in the center of this field. Flowers surrounded this small grove. All types from roses to lilies. They were beautiful to the white haired mage, they showed the world still had beautify even with a lych trying to suck it dry. She slowly leaned down and brushed her hand around the flower and smiled. She always loved these flowers.

Footsteps behind her made her stand up and turn. To her surprise it was none other than their resident fire dragon slayer, Natsu. She smiled, as the last time that she saw him when the war had just started, just a few short weeks ago.

She looks at the dragon slayer and smiles, "Natsu it's good to see you." she said. She walks up to Natsu.

"It's good to see you too, Mira, I hope everything is going ok." he said almost robotically, however at the end of the sentence his face became soft and a small smile came on to his face.

"Natsu what ar-" she started, however before she could continue Natsu pushed his lips onto hers. His body molded into hers as he wrapped his hands around Mira's waist. After a full minute of making out he pulls away for her and looks her in her eyes.

"Mirajane Strauss, I love you with all the heart I have left to give, for I have one other that takes the other half. However, if you would allow I would like to take you both." Natsu stated and continued. "You do not have to give me an answer now for it may be too quick. For I will leave you a question: I have left the other, will you be my girlfriend?" he said as he let go and backed away.

Mira looked shocked as Natsu turned and walked away in the field. The wind suddenly started to pick up and her hair fluttered into her vision. The retreating figure of Natsu was hidden behind the strands of hair. The wind finished blowing and her hair left her vision, which was only for a moment, Natsu was gone.

"I love you too…" were the soft words that left Mira's lips right after he disappeared.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Natsu heard a roar in the distance. A pillar of black blue, and white magic clashed. The sounds of fighting finally reached his ears and he had to steel himself for what he was about to walk into.

Finally walking over the hill to see two men standing right across from each other. They were currently in a standoff, each one stood across from each other. The field they were in didn't deserve to be called a field anymore. It was scared and absolutely destroyed, for there was no form of greenery or life on the field at all. Craters were a common decoration and there were traces of magic all around the field still slowly burning off. Taking one last deep breath he started to make his way to the bottom of the field.

Two the other two contestants of this fight looked over the rolling hills to their west and saw the small figure in the distance. After a few moments they were able to make out the distinct salmon colored hair.

"Well well well, what do we have here?" Zeref asked. His body was a complete contrast to the normal black, for it was completely white now. "I Thought you were still in that coma. What's this, I can't feel anything from you." Zeref stated while trying to get a read on Natsu.

The other member looked at him with his dark blue eyes. "What are you doing here runt?" Acnologia asked. They both sized Natsu up. Trying to see what tricks he would pull from his sleeve, because if you were to look at the three of them and get a read of them. Natsu was the weakest one by a large margin, so if there was at all a one on one fight he would be at a disadvantage through the whole entire thing. Natsu Onyx's eye just started back at both of them. It unnerved them slightly from what they were looking at. Well before this they had both had encounters with Natsu. During both of those encounters Natsu's eyes always had some sort of warmth or hope inside of them. Now however they seemed like an infinite pit of nothing that would consume them if they stared too long.

Natsu looked at the both of them and slowly shifted from his relaxed posture, or as relaxed he could get in the situation, to his fighting stance. His right foot sliding back and his body shifting to be open towards the right.

"Alright I guess that's how it is." Acnologia said. Zeref's face shifted from both of them.

"Well, when we are going to get this started." Zeref asked. As he spoke that Natsu's entire body lit ablaze with fire, A second later lightning exploded from him, singeing the other too slightly. A shockwave passed over the field, pushing the other two back. Finally Natsu's fire slowly started to incorporate subtle black accents all over it. Mingling with the red hot fire.

"Lighting Fire Dragon God Mode" Natsu spoke with certainty. The other two looked on with interest at what just transpired.

"If that's all you got then this might as well be a one versus one fight, Zeref he doesn't even come into our realm of power." Acnologia said to the death mage, who was looking at Natsu with slight interest.

"While that may be true, I can tell there is much more to him then we can see right now, he will be waiting for the right moment to release it." Zeref said, shrugging and turning to Acnologia he and a sphere of black ethernano formed around him.

"Dark Predation" Zeref spoke the sphere expanded out from him encompassing both Natsu and Acnologia. Both of them felt pain envelop their bodies, however a moment letter it let up and they both looked at Zeref. He stood there with a cocky smile. Before he could get any words out though, Natsu yelled out.

"Lighting Fire Dragon God Breath" the fire headed directly at Zeref, and right before it enveloped him Natsu turned his head raking the fire across the field to where Acnologia stood who quickly jumped out of the way. When Natsu finally let up Zeref and Acnologia were on top of him at the same time, both going for a punch at his face. However once they both saw each other they decided on the stronger target. They both turned to throw a punch at one another filled with their inlaid magic. It connected with each other as they tried to hold it. The shock wave threw Natsu back off his feet a few feet away. After a small beat, Acnologia weakened his arm and let it be pushed back making Zeref over extend. Using his speed Acnoligai dipped his head left as the fist came for his face and moved into his guard. Filling his hand with Shadow Dragon Magic threw an upper cut at Zeref's face.

Zeref just pulled his face back at the last moment. The hand cutting a few strands of hair off his head. Pulling his and back he dropped down and rotated sticking his leg out. Attempting to leg sweep the Dragon of Apocalypse. He jumped up, neither were expecting a flaming fist to come out of nowhere and strike Acnologia in his face, sending him flying. Zeref continuing his leg sweep tripped up Natsu and as he fell Zeref brought down his fist onto his face. The dark magic filled fish connected with Natsu's face as he slammed into the ground. His body bouncing slightly.

His eyes wide as the pain filled his body, however as quickly as he was down Natsu uses his magic to thrust himself up from his hands and propel himself into Zeref's face sending him flying also. Standing the fire in his hand slowly encompassed the entirety of his body, he tried to dispel it but it would not go away. His control over the magic seemed to wain as he presumed his time of death slowly approached over the horizon.

"Well if that's all you both got, you two don't deserve to be called the most powerful beings in the world." Natsu said mocking the two greater beings there were getting up. They both didn't seem affected by any of his hits on them, as they slowly dusted themselves off.

"It was definitely a surprise for you to get one hit in, let alone two. But that was just a warm up." Acnologia's cocky attitude returned as his chest swelled.

"Shadow Death Dragon Roar" he bellowed as a large amount of fire headed right towards him. Then much like Natsu, it was shifted to the other combatant. It enveloped Zeref, while Natsu had enough mind that he wouldn't survive if he let that hit him, so he jumped back. The flames finally settled after a moment. Zeref stood there with just his clothes being slightly singed. All three of them had a standoff, standing across from each other. Natsu's flames getting all the more bigger and stronger. Normally his flames would only encompass only his body, however now it was burning almost to ten feet tall.

As if there was an invisible ball dropped, all of them started to run at each other preparing magic.

"Lighting Fire Dragon God Iron Fist" Natsu screamed. All of the fire and lightning congregated into his hands as it pulses with power. Rearing both his hand back he brings them forward towards the two targets.

"Shadow's Death's Burying Fist" The dragon of Apocalypse stated in a calm manner. In a similar fashion to Natsu his one fist was filled with magic as he brought it forth to where his other two opponents were heading.

"Dark Blast Inferno" Zeref said, he was heading towards the other two at a slower pace, while he may have lived longer then them both. He didn't focus on hand to hand, he wasn't bad per say, but it definitely was not his specialty. His hands filled with black energy as the other two finally came into contact with each other. He reached them a moment later. Thrusting his hands forward he goes for both their faces. They both duck away, Acnologia ducked low and punched Zeref in his gut. Natsu had just moved back at the last moment then moved forward and thrust his hand into Acnologia's face. Retaliating Zeref back flips away and decks Acnologia into the face while also hooking Natsu's arm with his foot. Using the leverage he got, he threw him over his body.

Natsu rights himself mid air and lands on his feet. Running back in he goes for a punch on Zeref. Zeref parries the hand away, leaving Natsu open. Natsu pulls his hand back before that opening cost him. He ducked underneath a right hook from Acnologia. Bringing an uppercut onto Zeref's jaw, he gets blindsided by Acnologia who had just run through them both with Shadow Death Dragon Wing Attack

Being flung back away from them. Laying on his back he groans as he rolls over on his stomach and slowly gets back up. He was getting really tired, he only had a few more minutes until he would be able to unleash his final move. Running back as Zeref and Acnologia were prepping two very powerful moves.

Right before either of them could release them Natsu appeared in front of Acnologia and punched him straight across the face. Turning back at a beam of light came straight at him he engulfed his hand with his power and deflected the magic away from him. He covered the distance between him and Zeref in just a matter of seconds and dipped left to a wild hay maker and went in for a punch. Then Zeref just disappeared from his view, leaving his whole stomach open. Acnologia appears with a condensed ball of energy in his hand. It was pointed at Natsu's open stomach.

"Death's Piercing Light" The dark skinned man said. A dark beam spewed out of the condensed ball. The ball ripped a large hole into Natsu's stomach, blood flew from out behind him, he coughed once. Then blood proceeded to pour out of his mouth as he coughed up plenty of blood. He fell to his knees, his eyes glazed over. Falling forward he is now on all fours as he starts to cough up even more blood.

'It's time Natsu' was all he heard, and with that he slowly started to get up. The other two had continued to fight each other. There was another crater where the three of them were. Slowly standing up he took a labored breath, as he coughed once. Magic slowly started to gather around him. Small rocks around him started to lift and disintegrate. The air around the three started to get warmer. The other two stopped their fight for a moment and looked over to the mortally wounded dragon slayer. They just stared at him for a second as he tried to grasp any air to speak. They were about to go back to beating the absolute shit out of each other then they finally heard it from a small whisper.

"Dragon's Forbidden Technique: Final Potential" at the last word Acnologia looked in shock for a moment, however before Zeref and Acnologia could do anything their world was filled with fire.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Erza was slowly walking around the medical tent area looking for Mira. From what she heard, Mira was the last one to see Natsu. She had been asking around where she may be and after about half an hour she was told by Porlyusica she had gone to a field just outside of the medical camp.

Coming up to where Erza was told she sees Mira staring at a small flower that was in her hands. Walking up to her she stops in front of her. Looking down at the white haired girl, she seemed to be troubled by something. She smiled slightly as she sat down next to her.

"You alright, something on your mind?" she asked. Mira looked at her, tears were at the corner of her eyes. Mira sniffles slightly as she leaned her head onto her friend's shoulder. Bringing her sleeve up to wipe away the tears. She says nothing to her and just enjoys the presence of a friend.

"I heard you were the last to see Natsu," Erza said and continued. "He came to see me right before you."

"What does that have to do with me?" she asked. Her mind is not in the right place to connect the dots.

"Well it would have to do with you if my hunch is correct. He kissed you, right?" Erza asked. The blush that was shown on Mira's face made Erza's hair pale in comparison. "So I guess I was right. So did you hear what he said at the end?" she asked once again.

"Wait, what does him kissing me have to do anything?" she said. "If he kissed me so… wait?" a sudden moment of clarity hit Mira like a ton of bricks. "So you're the other one he was talking about." she almost screamed as she got off the ground.

"Yes that is me, and you're the one he was also talking about. So I know this is a bit weird to ask, but did you give him an answer?" Erza asked, looking kinda Nervous.

"What did you say?" Mira asked

"But I asked first." Erza retorted.

"Fine, how about this, on the count of three we both say our answer." Mira proposed. Erza looked at her and nodded to her.

"So on the count of three." Mira said "One"

"Two."

"Three." As both of them were about to say their answers. A pillar of fire thousands of feet tall enveloped the distant horizon and shined a light onto them. It was so bright it made the sun seem dim.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

After almost five minutes of the pillar of flames being there, it slowly started to shrink. It was there that they both heard the loudest roar in both their entire lives. When it started, all of the fre in the pillar expanded outward and dispersed. What was left standing in the center shocked both of them to the core, and that's saying something.

Standing there was a fifty foot tall dragon. The scales on the Dragon were majority red with most of the belly and some of the spikes on the wings and back being black. Underneath the black scales it glowed red, seeming to team with the power of this dragon. The head was covered with the black spikes with two pure red eyes that looked around with power. Smoke billowed out of the roaring mouth as it continued. A long tail protrude from its hindsight, it waved in the air behind the giant dragon. As the roar proceeded to stop and the head leveled out to stare at the two powerful beings.

The sweat beaded off their heads as the temperature finally leveled out. The Dragon seemed to smirk as it opened its giant maw and released a large torrent of red black flames. Both Zeref and Acnologia jump out of the way as the fire impacts the ground. An explosion rocked the entirety of the field as the Dragon moved the flames back and forth trying to hit the two beings.

As the torrent of fire finally stopped, the dragon looked at the charred field. Zeref and Acnologia both stood back a way next to each other. Their hatred against each other was minimized with this new threat that posed itself in front of them. Acnologia stood there with a grim line in his face.

"Well, this definitely didn't go as planned. I didn't think Igneel had the balls to teach him that move." he said.

"What move are you talking about?" Zeref asked, confused. "In all my life I have never heard of the move Natsu just used."

"It's a move that is closely guarded by all dragons that have taught dragon slaying magic. What it does is goes into your life span and finds where you are going to be at your most powerful and unlocks it for an amount of time." Acnologia stated

"So, do we know how much time he has?" Zeref asked once again, this time looking at the giant dragon with a raised eyebrow.

"It depends on slayer to slayer, some can only go for a few minutes, other hours. There is no set time. It is all on the will of the slayer to keep the transformation up. However there is a way to extend it." Acnologia said. However before he could continue to say anything the Dragon spoke.

"So this is what it feels like to be a Dragon, cool. Now it's time to unleash hell on you two." Natsu spoke. "For I am the new Dragon King of Fire, Natsu Dragneel." the earth rumbled as Natsu's giant wings started to flap. The gusts of winds almost throw both of them on their ass, as Natsu takes flight. The red dragon flew into the sky hundreds of feet, and stopped to hover in the air and look down.

"Acnologia, what would you say just how strong he is now?" Zeref said.

"Infinite." was all Acnologia said. "Since he is the Fire dragon king, he will gather energy from all fires over the entire world. You know one of the five dragon kings has power over fire right?" he asked the death mage.

"Yes." Zeref said

"He's like an ant to what I can grasp from him now." Acnologia said

"Is that why he's in this dragon form?" Zeref asked.

"Yes, the power was so great the tank in his own body could not sustain it, so it had to get bigger, and the only way is to grow in size. Like for example the reason I'm not as destructive in this form is because I don't have as big of a tank, so I focus more on speed." Acnologia stated. "So I say if either of us want to get what we want, we should take out this bigger threat." he said as he began to transform into his dragon form. The black dragon body with blue tribal markings headed straight for the large red and black dragon in the sky.

Zeref looked at the two dragons as one got closer to the other and sighed, this was definitely not in his plans. Taking a deep breath he slowly fills his hands with energy and sends it directly at Natsu. The beam headed right for Natsu and it hit its mark dead on. Natsu had to bring his claw up to block the incoming ray of light. Right after letting the beam go Zeref starts to levitate up towards the two.

Right after that moment Acnologia appeared right in front of him with his claws flaring with power. He went to strike down on the left side, but was blocked by Natsu's giant claw. It was then they Zeref truly got to see the difference in size. While Acnologia by no means is a small dragon, Natsu dwarfed his size. He would say that Acnologia is about thirty to thirty five feet tall compared to Natsu's fifty. Strikes were carried out between the two of them claws going after each other. The biggest factor for why Acnologia was getting his in was that he knew the body of a dragon much better than Natsu. While he wasn't bad he wasn't used to flying and basically fist fighting. He was still trying to fight like he was in a human's body.

After almost twenty minutes of the three of them going at it Acnologia and Natsu land on the ground with Zeref floating right next to Acnologia. While one side, they both were breathing hard, Natsu seemed perfectly fine. Something about just how powerful he was. He took a step back as he inhaled and let out the largest spew of flames yet. Acnologia and Zeref both fired their own attacks. As they both flew across the field at each other, they finally connected in the center and fought for control. The blasts of energy shifted back and forth before both sides cut off as a giant explosion erupted from the center of the two beams. The explosion covered almost toe both parties of the fight scarring the land permanently.

At that Moment, Natsu felt it. The connection that he had had with Igneel was cut off. He was on his own for the rest of this fight as the timer growed ever smaller. In that moment though both of his opponents had crossed the field and on him in a moment. He had to back up slightly as he defended from the assault of blows from his two opponents.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

What neither of them saw was two figures looking at the fight from a hill. Both were female, one with red hair and the other with white. These two were Erza and Mira. after they had seen the giant pillar of fire they had immediately ran this was to find out what it was. They both had an idea of who made it but of what means.

What they were not expecting to see was a giant red and black dragon fighting in the sky with Acnologia and Zeref, they could only assume it was Natsu, for he is the only one crazy enough to become a dragon. It seemed to be facing off against it, however even with the capabilities of the two of them, they were unable to harm it. The fight now had been going on for another thirty minutes since they got there. The red dragon seemed to be getting tired as scratches started to appear upon its scales. While the two other combatants were getting injured just as much.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Natsu could feel it. His power slowly was starting to dwindle. His body wasn't giving him the full movement he had when he had started this fight. His heart was starting to beat at an almost crazy pace. Pushing back his two opponents he gained the distance he needed. Taking one last deep breath he launched himself from his position he flew towards the other two with great speed. They also launched at similar speed, their confidence rejuvenated as they noticed that their opponent was getting weaker.

However in Acnologia's lapse of memory he forgot one crucial part of the spell Natsu used. It was until it was too late he would realize his mistake. They finally connected with each other and the fight was intense. A jab would be thrown by Natsu but Acnologia would deflect it and Zeref would use that to blast a beam of energy at him, hoping to chip away at his scales. It was no use, no matter the amount that he tried. However this time was different. Natsu moved even closer to the two powerful beings and brought them into an almost bear hug.

"If I'm going out you're going out with me!" Natsu said, bringing alarm to both of them. It was at that moment that Acnologia's memory of the spell cleared and he stopped struggling.

"Well I'll be damned." was all he said. almost accepting what was about to happen.

"Dragon's Final Art: Dragon's Heart Last Roar!" As those words roared, as an explosion erupted from Natsu's heart. It expanded from there and engulfed all three of them. The ball of fire grew to double the size of Natsu. It held for a moment before collapsing in on itself into the central point of Natsu. It took only one moment before the biggest fireball ever erupted around the three of them. It grew and grew. Growing to about the size of a two hundred yards in diameter. It absolutely decimated everything around them. Anything that was left of the field was now gone forever. Natsu slowly closed his eyes accepting what he had just done and two tears slowly trailed down his face despite the intense heat.

'I love you Erza Scarlet and Mirajane Strauss.'

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Both of their eyes widened as the fireball grew in size from where the three fighters were. They at it destroyed what was left of the field into nothing. Tears started well at the edge of their eyes as they watched. After a few moments fireball finally subsided and what they saw was one body in the distance slowly falling to the ground

"NATSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" They both screamed as they scampered from their position towards the falling body.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Anyway to the other story that won. It was… drum roll please

A tie with Life with ship girls and A Strawberry runs Crimson. So for this I've decided to focus on life with ship girls because it is much easier to write the story for, less lore we have to reread and figure out.

Alright, I thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed this and I hope that you review, like/follow/favorite this story. It means a lot to me and keeps me going.
