Natsu PoV
'I came back late one night, it was still cold outside. I don't understand, my thermometer reads 65 degrees (F). How could I feel cold? The last time I remember feeling cold was when I was frozen by that ice guy. What was his name? Frosty? Slipper? Ah whatever, it was stripper's dad. I'm waiting here in the guild right now. I don't know where everyone is, but I guess that is my fault, I did head off all on my own. I was so sure I could take him on. I was so sure I was ready. I knew I could make any sacrifice to do it. That's why I left the guild wasn't it? So I could prepare myself to face him? But in the end, when ze.. he.. told me that I wasn't, well, me, and that I would die if I killed him. I snapped. I was really about to die. And I was ok with it. I was doing what I went there to do. But then happy brought me back to my senses. And now I can't stop him. No one can. This was my only chance to stop him. And I am END? What is that bullshit? Oh look Mavis is back from the basement, it must be weird looking at your own body from the outside. Maybe that's what it is like when everyone dies. I hope I don't find out before him. Anyway, I'm END? I still call bullshit, I saw the book, and it was closed and sealed. How could I be END? But it hurt so much, when he shot the book. And when I hit it with my flames…. Even though he was protecting it, I felt like I almost died. Oh, master is here. Maybe I should ask him. I don't know. Grey is hell bent on destroying that book. And it is for the best. I will have to die wont I? If we have to kill Z. I still can't say his name. Z.. Ze.. Z. nope no good. I can't help but believe what he said. That I am END. If we kill him, I die. If grey destroys the book, even if it is an accident, I still die. He's coming over. I have to speak with him.' The master sits across from Natsu, not yet acknowledging him.
"My boy, that cut on your face, it's deep. You should get that checked right away. "
"Master, I have something I nee-"
"Not another word until it is patched!" 'I can tell he Knows. Otherwise we would be celebrating. He knows I didn't beat him.
"Ok Master. " 'I'm pathetic, I should have told him anyways. It doesn't matter, he will know soon enough.'
CRASH!
"What happened?!" I shout. But by the time words escaped my mouth I already knew. I was sulking at the moment, but as soon as I saw Erza's body on the floor I knew what had happened. Alvarez's southern forces had arrived.
I rushed over to her as fast as I could. By the look of her body she didn't put up too much of a fight. It looked like one hit was all it took, and I could see the last remnants of her adamantine armor still clinging to her wrists. I never understood it but I always had a strange liking towards Erza. Sure she hit me a lot, and she was so mean. But I couldn't help it, and I almost got carried away against Jellal. I almost told her that I loved her when I pulled her from the tower. I ended up not being able to speak for a few seconds, that helped me rethink what I was about to do. However with death on my mind at the moment, and the last remnants of Igneel's power fading, I decided I needed to end this.
I walked outside with the master, facing what looked to be 100,000 soldiers, most still on the ships a half mile out. And 2 members of the 12 shields. It appears that the swords woman must have been beaten because she wasn't anywhere to be seen, and Laxus was keeping Wahl Icht busy. He looked like he was winning, but he want using much lightning. Hmm. Well I Really only have Neinhart to defeat. I don't know his magic and I can't let Erza get caught in the crossfire.
"Master get back"
"What?! Why?!"
"Because I am going to have to use the last of Igneel's power now. It is about to disappear.
"Ok hurry, and don't overdo yourself." 'I don't have enough power to go Blaze Dragon King Mode right now. I will have to settle for Dragon Force.'
Makarov PoV
'I have to believe in Natsu right now, it's not like I could do anything anyway. Within one year Natsu has become almost ten times as powerful as he was during the Grand Magic Games. I never really saw him while he was fighting Mard Gear, but I hear it was spectacular. Here it comes.
"Igneel! Lend me the last of your strength! Dragon Force! Laxus! Move!"
'I don't know why, but I instinctively grabbed Laxus and pulled him in, even though he was over 200 feet away I was still able to reach him, I surprise myself sometimes. I am about to Witness what is left of Natsu's power, I have wondered what this looks like.
"FIRE DRAGON KINGS DESTRUCTIVE ROAR!" We were lucky to have the guild built facing the ocean, I recognized some of Guildarts magic in there, but it was so minimal that I barely noticed it. Even though he was outside the guild the radiant heat was so intense that the guild doors caught fire. I would say set ablaze but looking at what he actually hit is a better use for that word. The entire sky was filled with steam, and when it blew away from the winds generated by the massive attack I could clearly see the extent in what he was capable of.
"My Mavis the Earth! It's just gone!" 'The sea is coming back?!' "Wait… You pushed the ocean back!" 'No he didn't push it back, he just evaporated what was there. The shore has a gaping hole in it, but the sand looks different. Wait its glass! Powdered glass! I used to see it in small amount back when Natsu and Guildarts used to fight on the beach. It is what happens when Guildarts strikes a place where Natsu has already burned.' "So I was right. You did learn from Guildarts over the past year."
"Yeah," Natsu said out of breath, "but as of now he has been learning from me. Unfortunately for him once I was capable of using Igneel's power I gained a sudden power boost, nearly doubling my strength in a single day." Natsu's demeanor never changed, he was cold and angry even though his scales had retracted his teeth were still honed down, Natsu wasn't content with his attack.
"If that is what was left of Igneel's power, how did you lose to Zeref?"
Erza PoV
'I woke up just in time to see Natsu go into dragon force, the pressure from his magic power almost knocked me out again. It has been the one, and only time Natsu has made me feel anything but safe, I felt, for the first time in my life, afraid of him. No human should have that kind of power. And here, the man I fell in love with after he pulled me from that tower, with power enough to destroy an army.' "Natsu." 'I was barely able to speak loudly enough for him to hear, although he probably just sensed my pulse quicken. He was already able to do that during the Grand Magic Games, sometimes I wish I has senses that strong. But then I remember my torture, and how strong senses were nothing but a curse. I could hear the walls shake, the footsteps of those on the ground. I could hear everything. The overload was far more painful than any of her lashes. Her lashes were moments of peace to me.
"Yes Erza, what is it." Natsu brings her to the nearest undamaged padded seat.
"Did you defeat Zeref?" 'Why did he wince? Did he lose?! If he did how is he still alive?!"
"I guess it is time to tell you, since the both of you are here now. Mavis you may want to listen to this, It may help with your plans."
Natsu PoV
"I don't know how to say this so I'll say it quick. I am END. Zere.." Natsu draws a breath, "Zeref told me everything before I was going to deliver the finishing blow. He proved it to me by shooting the book of END."
Erza and Makarov in unison: "WHAT!?"
"Don't interrupt" The harsh tone silences even Erza as Makarov urges Natsu on.
"As I was saying I am the most powerful of Zeref's Demons. I am END. Apparently it stands for Etherious Natsu Dragneel. And just when I was thinking my name was just a nothing more than a combination of Dragon and Igneel."
"What do you mean-"
"Not yet master, I'm not done. He also said that I died 400 years ago, and I am his younger brother. Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rouge, and I, we are all born 400 years ago. We were all trained in the past and when the dragons were put inside us we were pushed through a time gate to appear here on July 7, 777.
"An Eclipse gate?"
"Yes Master. I was reborn somehow by Zeref. And Layla Heartfilia was the one who opened the Eclipse gate for him here in the future."
"Lucy's mom!" Erza, who had been quiet this entire time, speaks up out of shock.
Erza PoV
"Yes." Natsu's tone was mellow, he looked up into my eyes at that moment. I could see the Pain in his eyes. But he reached over to me. He hugged me. He actually hugged me. I don't ever think I have actually hugged him. Isn't that strange? All of these years we have worked and played and laughed. All of these years we have fought together. And the most affection I have ever allowed myself to show him was nothing more than slamming him into my armor and calling it a hug. I fell so warm, I don't know if it is my heart racing that is heating me up, or his touch that is still so hot that it is burning me. They are two different types of warmth but I feel both right now. Oops I just realized that I wasn't hugging him back. But with his senses he can probably hear my body's reaction.
"Natsu, I will treat you no different just because you are Zeref's brother. Just like we don't treat Lucy any different just because of what her father did. You are my family.
"Oi, while you two love birds were cozying up in here I finished off the last 50 thousand soldiers. Were you really so cocky you thought you could one-shot them all? Huh, Punk? And you didn't even finish off the machine dude, but I'm still pissed that you weakened him. I wanted to deliver some serious pain to him for what he did."
"LAXUS?! Oh shit I forgot you were still out there!" That's just like Natsu, forgets what right in front of him.
"I knew you were out there Laxus. I had confidence that you would finish the rest on your own. But I am quite surprised that one of the 12 actually survived that blast. It wasn't on par with Acnologia but it would have killed any of the dragons at Crocus." Erza says.
"Yeah, sure you did. But surviving that attack took all of his magic power he had left, the other guy kind of deflected the blast for a second before he was overwhelmed. That's how this guy survived." Drops him on the floor. "He lost both of his arms and a leg from it. And his creations were so weak they just kind of fell apart. I was mostly dealing with the fodder."
"Well I'm glad you're still fresh son. In fact I think you should go to the eastern front, I hear August has stepped into the battle. Warrod and I have a mental link we set up before the battle in case they lost on the east."
I was shocked. "They actually lost?! The 4 kings of Ishgar lost?!"
"Well no, but they do require assistance." 'The Master's words shocked me. I have no better word for it. I couldn't move for a second, does this mean that Natsu has actually surpassed the 4 great wizards on this Continent?' " Jura specifically requested Laxus' aid in the battle, he believes that your dragon slaying magic could be exactly what they need to turn the tide against Mage King August, God Serena, and Jacob Lesslio.
