Natsu x Mirajane x Erza

Warning: This is where my story goes off of cannon.

Could a demon be cold? Hell, with the heat radiating off of his opponent he didn't know how he was. A shiver made goosebumps appear on his arms as he eyes widened. All of this time.. he was trying to break him out, yet here he was. There in front of him was his opponent, but above him showed a demon with dark black chains wrapped around his wrists and ankles. The book that he had hit had made the demon appear, but already it was now fading. But just the shock of seeing him blew him away. This only meant.. that the book of E.N.D didn't haven't the physical body of the most powerful demon in existence. It was just a simple key, as the body of the dragon slayer in front of him held the real demon.

A demonic smile crossed his lips. He shivered in happiness, this information wasn't just useful. It changed everything, hell maybe he could even ditch his plan of using the Face weapon. Maybe.. he just had to rip a large hole in this human to let the demon inside of him out. 'E.N.D.. you'll soon be released, I promise you that!' Mard Geer thought to himself as he practically began to laugh aloud.

"So.. what are you laughing out loud about?" Natsu asked as he stood there waiting for his opponent. His body still was a bit numb where he attempted to hit the book. He wanted to know why it had sent him own attack back.. or that was what he was thinking after he kept playing the scene inside his head. Either this book was a protection for the demon he was fighting or it had a defense part for itself. What was it? And what did those 3 letters stand for.

"Hmm.. I guess my plans have changed." Mard Geer began to explain, "originally I thought I needed Face to release E.N.D from this book. But now.. maybe I could use something else." He explained after with a wicked smile smeared across his face. How wonderful it was, things were going better then planned then ever. The pieces of the puzzle were litterly falling right in front of him to use. But.. now.. he needed to unlock the demon that was harbored inside the human he was fighting.

'I do wonder.. does the human even know it's inside of him?' Mard Geer began to think about.. what were the probabilities that he did? He couldn't really tell, it was frightening, and exciting to say the least. Crack. The king of the under world began to crack his knuckles, he licked his lips, and prepared to pounce like a cheetah. No more going slow, he had to figure out how to get the master of Tartarus out of the human. Also at the same time he had to make sure he wouldn't be defeated and would not kill his opponent.

He wasn't sure what was going through the demons mind, but had a gut wrenching feeling that it wouldn't be good. If the plans had changed, how would the others work against it. Face.. it hadn't even be stopped yet and now the demon that was controlling everything couldn't care about it. Natsu snarled, his onyx eyes focused on his opponent and locked onto him. At once his muscles began to push forward and work, his legs pushed his muscular body forward, and went off towards the demon with a flaming fist. 'Change of plans? Who cares, I'll just bring him down before he could make it start!' Natsu thought to himself.

His body swayed to the right as his curse powered up. He could feel the vines running through the ground as the bits of gravel on the stone floor began to shake. Boom! Green vines with sharp spikes on every end bursted through the ground as it rushed straight in front of him.

His instincts told him to dodge. Natsu's muscled obeyed as he pulled his body to the left just as a spiky thorny vein bursted from the ground towards him. He grabbed hold of one of the thorns and let it take him up towards the top of the room. Once up he placed a foot on top of the roof and ignited. His red fiery flames began to char everything, leaving scorch marks on the roof as he used it to propel him off towards the demon. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled as his opponent looked up just in time to see his fist.

'He's pushing his magic now..' Mard Geer thought as he was forced to take the punch to his face. He was knocked back as he slid back and tried to stop his momentum by digging his toes into the ground. It worked as he stopped and looked at the dragon slayer as if the hit didn't even affect him. Suddenly he raised his hands and vines from all over opened the floor under neither both of them as they bursted sky high. The went right through the roof and began to crack the room as dust began to fill all around them and consume them both.

Crack. The foundations of the room creaked and cracked as it gave out. The room fell apart as the outside fresh air poured in and both of them were now out in the open. All around them was the gray cracked bricks on the ground, both dragon slayer, and the demon was covered in dust from the room collapsing.

"This should be enough room.. I hope you do show me more.." Mard Geer began to laugh with a sinister smile plastered over his face. If both of them wanted to go full out, then need much more room. Enough to go crazy and almost destroy the area none of the less.

Natsu took a deep breath and sighed. It seemed he needed to increase his magic power to start doing damage to this guy. The vines around him were slowly slithering away but he knew they'd be back shortly. It seemed they were dangerous and could do a monster amount of damage, which he saw as the room had been ripped apart easily. One of the vines with spikes all over disappeared, he scrunched his hands into a fist. 'He's a demon.. right.. hmm.. then this type of fire should do good.' Natsu thought as his hand bursted into flames. The flames kept getting hotter then, first then went blue, then green, then they kept going blacker, and blacker. They grew so hot and so much magic was being poured into the flames that they soon began to become white as snow.

"Fairy Flames.." Natsu muttered as his eyes now we're sharper and looked like they were ready to see everything. Veins were practically surging out of his arms as the white flames were held in his hands. It used up a lot of his magic, but this was one type of his strongest flames he was able to use. Though luckily for him, they worked perfect against demons.. it was using the light to kill off the darkness, as it wiped it all away.

Mard Geer cocked his right eye brow up as he suspiciously looked at his opponent. Flames from a fairy, a very good weakness against demons. For his enemy it was good, for him it was bad to deal with as he still had to fight while figuring out how to release the master of Tartarus from inside of the man. He now had to think even quicker.

So he did just that, as the guild master of Fairy Tail ran at him he pushed himself right into the air, and let green spiky vines burst out from the ground underneath him. In mid air he landed on the moving vines as he went straight for the dragon slayer. 'Magic.. if he uses up all his magic maybe that could work or if we knock him out. Maybe Sayla could wake it up from the state he's in..' Mard Geer thought to himself as his brain fiercely went to work. He began to explore every area he could think of.

Natsu dodged the first vine as it passed his right side and ducked his head sharply to dodge the second vine by the brim of his hair. His goal at the moment was to take down this monster that could be using the weapon named Face to get rid of all the magic on the continent. This wasn't a joke or even a least bit funny, there was no choice. These demons had to be stopped at all cost, even if he had to give his life. Without magic.. people hey could never defend themselves from these etherious demons.

"Fairy Flaming Fist!" Natsu yelled out as he pushed his right leg with his muscles and propelled his body into a turning motion with his white flames licking his fist. By doing so he dodged both of the next vine attacks coming for him and was able to close the distance between him and Mard Geer. A loud noise was sung into the wind as Natsu's fist connected and knocked him back.

He wasn't focused enough. It was hard to think of a plan while dodging his opponent. Mard Geer could admit that his opponent was a skilled fighter. The dragon slayer was predicting his movements and his vines accurately. It was only causing him to groan in detest. 'When he first arrived here.. he was with other people, but there were certain people who he was watching closely.' Mard Geer began to think. Since the minute Fairy Tail arrived, he had eyes watching. He easily remembered that two women were at his side until they spit to go after certain people. Maybe.. just maybe he could use them. A sinister like smile grew upon his face as a plan began to form.

As his plan was made he could only be happy for a second before being plummeted backwards from a gut wrenching punch. While being propelled back, he flipped himself, and had his vines came up from the earth in a hurry towards him. Then he was able to slow down and stop his momentum. Mard Geer sighed aloud, his cheek was throbbing, and his urge to fight this human grew. It began to make him angry, but he was able to keep a clear head as he walked forwards. With each sounded step his brain worked until every part was perfectly clear.

"So what's with the smile, getting nervous?" Natsu asked aloud as he carefully watched Mard Geer. Was he even paying attention or was he bathing in thoughts of knowing he won. He would of course prove that wrong and bring a end to his party.

"No.. I just had a perfect idea." Mard Geer decided to reply back to Natsu as he shrugged. 'Sayla.. is unresponsive and it seems Kyouka has gone to the main control room to push forward Face.' Mard Geer thought to himself as he sensed where his fellow demons were. Some of them were growing weak, others were completely gone, and only a few were entirely ok. But one of there strongest ones was ok. Having Kyouka go after her.. maybe this could push him.

"Perfect idea..? Great.." Natsu sighed as he began to sprint forward. As he reached Mard Geer, everything was reversed. His instincts told him to dodge and as he did a fast punch was already coming at home. This was different, it only seemed that he was now finding back.

"Let's see how you long you can last now?" A demonic looking grin was shown by the the king of the under world. Now that he no longer had to come up with a plan, he could concentrate on the fight in hand. 'Now..lets see how he fairs with this.' Mard Geer thought to himself as he began to let his magic power off of its tight reigns. Vines thick as trees bursted through the ground with high velocity as they tore through everything in there way. They appeared behind him as they prepared to sprint towards Natsu, who only had a smile on his face, and his eyes burning on fire.

"Of course, I'll proceed with it." Kyouka responded with her thoughts back to Mard Geer as a shiver ran through her body and she could swear she could feel goosebumps along her white milky skin. The news she was told and what she was told was a game shaker. All of there plans had changed.

For now as she knew she had to let Face proceed on its own. They wouldn't stop that plan in case the new plan that just arose failed for whatever reason. Though that slightly was impossible as Mard Geer's plan's were always flawless. They never had issues and never went wrong. But for now she had a new objective to go towards. So with a sigh she turned around to go towards where Erza Dragneel was last seen.

By now she didn't know if she was dead, at the brisk of defeat, or if she had someone won against the demon she had made. Neo-Minerva was quite strong and would be a tad impressed if she did defeat her. But she honestly couldn't care, because as soon as she arrived to the women; she'd tear every inch of her part. She would torture the poor whore until she cried and begged for her life. Kyouka licked her lips, she was making herself excited just by thinking of this.

Although she couldn't be happier.. Mard Geer even ordered her to find and torture the women. If she did, then Maybe Master E.N.D could return to there side and destroy this pitiful world that existed for no reason. These humans they were fighting were just pigs lined up in a slaughter house to die.

Oh, she could feel the warmth in parts of her body. Hell was about to come a lot quicker then any of them expected. Of course that was if nothing disrupted them.

The gray walls passed her by as she walked by corridors that had known been collapsed and fallen. Mard Geer's castle, where the members of Tartarus were staying and revived in had been blasted to pieces all around them. Every now and then the earth shacked as battles were going on in every direction. The sky was peaceful though, though it was far to quiet. She a great feeling a large fight would be soon lightning up the skies.

Dust filled her vision as she sighed and walked through, it seemed as if the area she had left her opponent in had been ripped apart and ruined. "Where did she go..?" Kyouka asked aloud with a grunt. Once the brown dust in the air had cleared, there was no to be seen. Erza And Minerva were both gone. Could the fight still be going on or what had happened. Questions began to loom through her mind as she began to search the area.

There were still two entrances in the area. One led down the thrown room were Mard Geer and Natsu Dragneel were fighting. It was also were Mard Geer was trying to get E.N.D out of the dragon slayer. The other room went towards the main console of Tartarus, were Face could be stopped at. Of course there was only one obvious direction she'd go in by thinking over those two directions.

Quickly as ever Kyouka went off towards the direction where the main console was to go after Erza who she guessed was trying to stop Face. But she didn't really care, she now was given a new order. A order that she would thoroughly enjoy. First she had to find Erza and then she got to torture her. She licked her red plush lips as she felt enjoyment all over her body. Kyouka couldn't wait much longer as she itched to sink her claws into the women's red ruby blood and teach her who was the strongest.

'Master E.N.D, you will return soon..' Kyouka thought to herself as she walked off towards Erza's direction. Her heart was ready to burst in excitement of knowing E.N.D was even closer then ever expected. Today would be victorious and enjoyable. So many unexpected things were happening, at first there only goal was to make sure Face was to succeed. But now as things developed it became even better. If the Master of the under world could do it, he might even be able to bring back E.N.D without Face activating. How gruesome it would be if guild master of Tartarus came back even quicker and easier. It was an overall victory for them as she was happy.

Wings flapped fast as his muscles shook. He really enjoyed being in his dragon form. He was large, with black scales, and his blue markings all over. He was the strongest being that existed and he was the king. There was no one able to defeat him, he ruled everything.

Acnologia looked down with his black gruesome eyes as he watched the landscape change fast in a blink of an eye. Green grass hills, villages, towns, and farms were in most directions with mountains and paths in between. Fiore was growing and becoming an empire fast over the years. But he couldn't care, all he wanted was destruction and terror. So as long as he was the strongest and most vile, he would be happy. He would always be the strongest no matter what, not even Zeref would stop him.

But now he was heading towards something powerful and massive. His first thought was the feeling when he was almost killed by a dragon. A monster amount of power radiates from something, and he knew It had to go down. 'I also feel him.. It seems the fight of the century is going to take place soon.' Acnologia thought to himself with a sigh. Zeref, he could feel his magic inching towards the area as well. The deadly feeling magic was plaguing that deadly person still. It hadn't changed one bit.

Acnologia grinned widely.. a duel between all the most powerful foes was now not just on the horizon, it would be taking place in a matter of hours. Blood would be spilled and hell would be let loose. With another flap of his large wings, he pushed off even faster. He was excited to see the outcome that was bound to come. Would he again show the world that he was the strongest and slaughter everyone around him? Or would someone else stronger show up? Would Zeref kill everyone or what we he planning? He didn't know..

As he flew through the last white cloud with the dark sky now high above him he saw the smoke. A cube island with smoke coming from every angle and part of it. It seemed as if battles was already taking place. With a growl in his through he shouted a large roar that began to shake the ground. He laughed as he felt all the gazes began to look up at him. Let the blood be spilled as dragon slayers will be slaughtered and what ever was radiating off huge amounts of power needed to go down.

Main focus next chapter will be on starting and ending Erza's fight with Kyouka while in the back ground Natsu fights Mard Geer. Once these two fights are over, there's probably only a few chapters left.. we're almost there! :D

Also next thing I'm working on is a one shot, then back to work on this. I'm gonna try to finish this story or get a lot of progress done on this story. Also I've heard you all, minimum word count I'll try to do is 4K words for now on after this chapter.

Thanks for staying with me, I know I don't update much, and I'm going slow but school is hitting me hard.
