Chapter 1

Zeref Dragneel stood at the edge of a cave looking at the book in his hand, before entering. A shadow of a figure stared at him "Didn't think you would come here boy,do you think you're strong enough to take me on?". Zeref stared back before stating nonchalantly "Never figured you to be the concerned type Acnologia or has your clash with the Fire Dragon King, hurt your ego?". Acnologia's voice boomed across the cave "Do not forget who you're talking to boy. I am the Dragon King. Perhaps, I should have destroyed your worthless lives while I still had the chance, you bring disgrace to the Dragneel Clan ".Zeref smiled slightly "Its been a while since you called me that…Uncle. I came here to tell you, that I'm going to destroy everything…. including you." Acnologia smirked knowingly "Your petty squabbles don't concern me boy. My only concern are the Dragon Slayers….. once I'm done with them, I won't care what you do. But know this nephew you're still nowhere close to taking down the Dragon of Chaos".

"I'll look forward to the final battle between a Dragon, an Immortal and Mankind" saying this Acnologia stood and disappeared into the shadows of the cave.

Zeref walked out and looked at the book in his hand "Im sorry Natsu, but I need you by my side,there is no more time to waste…. brother" he whispered before teleporting himself out of the forest.

Natsu Dragneel had returned home to Fairy Tail after being away for over a year,the guild was disbanded by the Master and the members spread out over the whole of Fiore. He had then returned to find his best friend and partner Lucy Heartfilia distraught and trying to keep tabs on all the members of Fairy Tail, in the hope that someday the guild would come back. This had ignited a fire inside Natsu and he didn't care anymore,no matter who or what stood in his way he made up his mind to bring Fairy Tail back, that in itself was an adventure with Gray being misunderstood as an enemy and Natsu found out Gajeel and Erza were working for the Magic Council, something that Gajeel would always use, to rub it in Natsu's face. As Natsu stood there staring at all the familiar faces of the guild members he couldn't help but smile as the atmosphere of excitement in the guild spread into him, though among everyone Natsu couldn't help but feel a tinge of pride upon seeing the smile and excitement on Lucy's face, "It was after all he who had talked her into joining this journey to reunite the guild along with happy, well sort of talked her into it as they had no other option".

Natsu felt a tug on his sleeve as he lost himself in his thought's. When he turned his head he saw his best friend the blue fured Exceed Happy, who began to taunt him "You lllllllike her" Happy snickered watching Natsu stare at Lucy .

"Natsu likes who now ?" came the slurred voice of Cana as she staggered her way to Natsu and Happy, as Natsu paled and shut Happy up with a fish in his mouth. He then proceeded to walk towards Mira and Lucy who were talking to each other. But was interrupted by ice make magic from Gray who was brawling with Elfman, he then moved towards Gray and joined the brawl, as furniture began to fly everywhere. "Just like the good old times" Natsu thought, when Eflman punched him sending him through a table.

Mira Erza and the others had submitted a formal request to the Magic Council about the reformation of Fairy Tail, but the problem arose when they still had to choose a Master for the guild, as their Master Makarov Dreyar was absent they needed someone who could stand in for him,looking at the mess and commotion among the guild members,it was pretty obvious there was only one person capable of controlling them "Erza Scarlett".

While everyone was excited about Erza being named the Seventh Master, there was one person who stood quietly in the corner away from the celebration, that man was Mest Gryder formerly known as Doranbolt a Ruin Knight in the Magic Council. As the celebrations died down, Mest informed everyone about Fairy Tails biggest secret, "Fairy Heart" which was in fact the preserved body of the First Master of Fairy Tail Mavis Vermillion within a Lacrima. Although Mest had no idea of its purpose, he also informed the rest of the guild about the mission that Makarov had taken to Alvarez to negotiate with the Emperor of Alvarez "Emperor Spriggan".

Erza had everyone preparing to infiltrate Alvarez to rescue Makarov. On the other hand Natsu stood to the side alone, as he could sense a familiar scent that bothered him. Though he couldn't figure out what or who exactly that scent belonged to, he figured he should ask Gajeel and see if he could make something of it. As he approached the Iron Dragon Slayer, he could sense that Gajeel was as agitated by the scent as he was.

"Yo Gajeel,do you smell that ?" Natsu asked him. Gajeel just grunted in response and ignored Natsu, as the ill feeling from before rose. Natsu kept pestering Gajeel, Levy and Lucy sensing Gajeel's temper flare, interfered as Gajeel almost clubbed Natsu transforming his hand into a iron club. Levy began to lecture Gajeel when Lucy noticed the change in both Gajeel and Natsu's behaviour, they stood staring into the distance a grim expression on their faces.

Lucy smacked Natsu in the head "What the hell was that for Lucy ?" Natsu cried. "Everyone's busy making preparation's to rescue the Master and you're here instigating a brawl with Gajeel ?" Lucy fumed. Both the Dragon Slayers ignored the female's as Erza stormed towards the four of them "And just why are you all standing here doing nothing, when there's so much work to be done ?" Erza demanded in an eery tone. Natsu immediately hid behind Lucy, while Gajeel replied his voice low and serious "Salamander and I can smell a weird scent and the fact that it keeps getting closer is something to worry about, though Salamander says its familiar, I feel weird and the sooner we figure it out, the better".

Lucy looked at Natsu who just stared back at her before giving her his cheeky grin saying "Don't worry Lucy, Me and Gajeel will handle this thing, you guys better go rescue Gramps and bring him back. And hey…. Ice Prick, just smack the old man for me when you meet him will ya ?" Natsu finished still grinning that did not convince Lucy at all.

Erza looked at Natsu and Gajeel as if contemplating the decision and then nodded her head in agreement "Alright then, the two of you better get this thing done with minimum destruction or you guys will have to deal with me, Elfman and Mira you guys are the backup. Warren keep yourself connected to them,Gray ,Wendy,Lucy you guys are with me" she said in a commanding tone.

Lucy looked at Natsu, worry etched on her face as Levy came forward and whispered to her "Don't worry Lu-chan they'll be fine you just go get Master back, leave these two to me".

"Im all fired up now…lets go Happy" Natsu declared before darting towards the door and into the forest as Happy followed with the loudest "Aye Sir".

As Natsu,Gajeel and Happy got closer to the scent Natsu started to feel a weird sense of déjà vu, as the whole atmosphere suddenly turned ice cold. Natsu could feel a huge dark magic in the area, Gajeel had his guard up on the lookout for the source of the magic.

Natsu caught a glimpse of dark waves moving towards Gajeel and he tackled him to the ground before the waves could reach him. "Its you again?. Who are you and why are you stalking me you creep?" Natsu declared.

"My Name is…. Zeref Dragneel and Natsu I've come to bring you home brother. It's time for you to wake up" Zeref said a sad smile on his face.

Gajeels face froze with fear "What the hell...?. Did that guy just say Zeref as in the Black Mage Zeref,and did he just call Salamander brother?".

Natsu looked on with a puzzled expression "Igneel never told me I had a brother,and aren't you supposed to be 400 years old?" he asked confused.

Zeref just smirked "All in Due time Natsu…. for now its time for you to come with me,you and i will lay waste to this world….Its time for you to Arise END" he said losing his smile.
