Wait, before you all get on me for starting yet ANOTHER story, let me explain! I can tell you for a fact that this one won't be nearly as long as the others. In fact, this may only be a two-shot at most… hopefully. If not that, then a three-shot. This idea was in my head for a while, so I wanted to finally get it out of my brain, so that's why.

So to give you all a quick rundown of this story: E.N.D gets unleashed after Acnologia's defeat by taking in the powers of the Ravens of Time for himself to break free. He then goes on to kill nearly everyone, with the exceptions of Romeo, Wendy, Chelia, and Asuka, as they managed to escape. Now, four years later, with most of the planet in ruin, the time has finally come to put an end to the demon once and for all.

In case anyone wants to know the ages of our main heroes in the battle, here you all go.

Romeo: 17

Wendy: 17

Chelia: 19

There will be crossover elements, but if you all know me by now, you would have expected that, so enjoy, or not, I don't care you all have your opinions.

Everything belongs to their respective owners.

Chapter One: The start of the final battle

The year is X796.

It has been four years since the return of the most powerful demon known as E.N.D. Much of the defenders of Ishgar, who were all in Fiore at the time, have fallen to the Fel Demon, with only a few managing to escape with their lives. Everywhere the demon went, more and more lives became lost by the monster's flames. No matter how many times those who chased after him tried to defeat him, E.N.D would only pushed them to retreat with their lives over and over again. One by one, nation after nation fell, and more of the planet's population dwindled.

Now, there are only a few remaining countries that still stand and are stabled out of the hundreds that once stood on this world. Earthland's population, once was in the six billions, were now reduced to the mere thirty millions. One of the few remaining countries that still remain intact for the most part was the nation in Ishgar known as Minstrel. While the nation's size has been reduced somewhat due to E.N.D destruction, the nation still stands as one of the few safe havens as well as one of the few stabled countries that haven't been wiped out or crippled completely.

But now, the demon E.N.D has arrived and begun his attack on the capital city of Minstrel known as Rotaly. This time, there will be no more running by the remaining heroes of the planet. The time was now to strike the demon down.

They must succeed, or all will be lost.

All around the north-west side of the large city, Fel Fire spread all around, as many buildings have collapsed to mere rubble and wreckage. Some sections of the city were decimated to the point of complete emptiness, aside from the occasional ruins of a building sticking out of the ground like a sore thumb. Guards and soldiers were all rushing toward the source of the monster, in order to buy enough time for the others to arrive.

"Of all times for the demon to show up, it had to be now!" A general of the Minstrel forces exclaimed in anger as he went on toward the sight of the destruction.

The man in question was wearing silver/golden like armor, covering everything but the head, as he wielded a large crystallized hammer in his hand. He had long white hair that went down his hand with some locks going over his shoulder. The general had blue colored eyes as a small scar was seen over his right eye. His skin was a bit pale compared to most other people.

This man was named Maraed, a good friend to the remaining heroes of Earthland, as well as a champion of the light itself.

"Come on soldiers! We must slow the demon down for the heroes to finish their training with Ve'ra! Do not let him get to the palace!" Maraed ordered his troops, who all shouted in agreement, ready to give their lives in order to save everyone.

With that, the general and the soldiers ran forward into the ruined part of the city, where many other soldiers, mages, and other kinds of fighters trying to fight the demon to no valid. Some of them even had artillery placed down, tanks, and even airships in order to damage the Demon of the Fel. However, many of these weapons and machines were being destroyed easily by the demon's wrath.

It didn't take long for Maraed and his men to show up at the designated area where E.N.D was located. Already they could see most of the forces and weaponry already killed and wiped out, with some wreckage of the destroyed airships in the city around them.

"Well… well… well… more have decided to show up to try and stop me?" A demonic voice was heard throughout the ruined section of the city, getting Maraed and the soldiers with him to look at where the voice came from.

There he was, standing on top of a wreckage of a collapse building not far from them, was the demon himself. He had the appearance of a lean young man, with glowing green markings all over his arms, bare chest, abdomen, and face. Giant demonic wings were seen coming out of his back, with his feet being hooves instead, and giant demonic horn coming out of his head. The only clothing the Fel Demon was wearing was the white colored pants, though they were stained with blood. However, the thing that stood out the most was the demon's wild and crazy pink hair.

This is the most powerful demon E.N.D… also known as Natsu Dragneel, once an ally to good, now a nightmare to all.

"E.N.D!" Maraed shouted to for the demon to hear, "Your reign of terror ends today! Come down here and face your fate!" The general roared out in anger at the pink haired demon.

E.N.D couldn't help but laugh out loud by the Minstrel general's word, before he glared down at the mortal beneath him with a grin on his face.

"You? Defeat me? I never taken you mortals as comedians," E.N.D responded back to the forces on the ground below him, getting the general and the soldiers with him to grit their teeth in anger, "Don't delude yourself, you all will die by my hands, just as many of those who got in my way did. And your souls will feed my hunger."

With those words, the Fel Demon put up on of his hands toward the large force beneath him, before a ball of Fel Energy begun to take form.

Maraed eyes widened in horror as he saw the demon about to unleash the attack on them.

"EVERYONE! MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!" The general shouted to the forces behind him, turning to look at them all in the process.

However, it wouldn't be fast enough as the demon fired off the blast of Fel Magic at them. The result was a large explosion that covered most of the area they were all in, as more buildings were destroyed, or those that were already in ruin to be reduced even further to rubble.

Maraed coughed a bit as the smoke got into his lungs, before he managed to slowly get back on his feet. His eyes widened in horror as he saw most of his men already wiped out, with those who were still alive were bleeding profusely and struggled to get back up. Some of them were also covered in rubble by the attack launching the wreckage around them into the air.

Gritting his teeth in rage, the general turned his head to see E.N.D landing onto the ground they all stood on, as the demon smirked at the sight before him.

"AAAAAHHHH!" Maraed roar in fury as he charged at the demon, his weapon rose up to avenge his forces.

E.N.D simply chuckled as he simply moved to the side to dodge the general's attack. Maraed's eyes widened once more due to missing the demon, but they quickly ended as the Fel Demon then slammed his leg right into the general's side as a loud crack could be heard from it. This got Maraed to cry out from the pain as he was launched into the ground a few yards away from the demon.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is this the best you all can do? What ever happened to getting me to "accept my fate" mortal? How pathetic!" E.N.D mocked the general before him.

Maraed managed to get back up as he clenched his side, which he was certain that his ribs were now broken from the kick the demon landed on him. The general could only glare with hate at the Demon of the Fel. E.N.D scoffed before he raised his hand toward the white haired warrior of the light.

"You bore me. It's time I end this farce and move on." The demon simply stated with a bored tone and look on his face.

And with that, the demon fired off a large beam of Fel Energy right toward the general, who simply closed his eyes, waiting for the attack to hit. It was now up to the others to defeat the demon now.

*BOOM*

A large explosion happened as the attack hit its target. E.N.D couldn't help but smirk a little at his little victory once more…

…But that smirk went away as a look of curiosity appeared on the demon's face when the smoke from the attack went away.

Maraed, not feeling the attack hit him, slowly opened his eyes as he looked back up only to widen his eyes in surprised by the sight before him.

Standing in front of the general, who managed to block the attack, was a lean young man who looked to be seventeen years old. He had somewhat spiky dark purple hair, with a few bangs handing over his eyes, which were black colored. He was completely shirtless, allowing his chest and abdomen to be seen to the world. He wore dark green pants and silver armored boots on his feet. The most unusual thing about him though was that his left arm and parts of his chest and back close to the arm were completely black, with some cracks of Fel Energy visible on the demon-like skin.

This was one of the few survivors of E.N.D's first onslaught when the demon was first unleashed years ago. This was someone who was once a young boy, now one of the few who stood against the Fel Demon. This was none other than Romeo Conbolt, one of the remaining heroes of all of Earthland.

"Romeo?" Maraed spoke in both surprise and relieved. If he was here, then his and the others training with Ve'ra is complete. The teen turned around to greet the general with a small smile.

"Are you alright Maraed? I'm sorry I took so long." Romeo told the white haired man, who only shook his head at his words.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry about. And aside from some broken ribs, I'm alright." He informed the dark purpled haired male, "But, where are-?"

"Wendy and Chelia are aiding with getting the people to safety. They will be here soon." Romeo informed the general.

E.N.D couldn't help but smile a little at seeing the familiar face of one of the brats who kept chasing after him for the past four years. The demon chuckled, getting the full attention of both Romeo and Maraed as they both glared at the demon.

"Ah… if it isn't Romeo? I was wondering when you would show up. If you're here, then Wendy and Chelia must be somewhere in this wretched city as well. So what have you been up to Romeo? You know, aside from running away of course." E.N.D asked him before he laughed out loud at his own little joke at the end.

Romeo merely turned to look at the Fel Demon full of hatred.

"…Maraed," Romeo started to speak without turning around, getting the general to look at the dark purple haired male, "I know you're hurt, but I need you to get your men and yourself to safety."

Maraed, seeing how Romeo was in no mood to be talked back too, merely nodded in agreement as he began to make his way away from both the young man and the demon. E.N.D didn't bother trying to stop the white haired man from getting the soldiers who were still alive, as he was more focused on the person before him.

"So, are you going to fight me to the death, or are you going to fail miserably at this again and retreat once more?" E.N.D questioned Romeo with a smug grin plastered on his face as he said the last half of his question. Romeo merely got into a fighting position as he spoke up.

"I'm not the same weakling that you faced last time E.N.D." Romeo informed the demon with a glare.

"Oh… wait are you talking metaphorically?" E.N.D started to question with a confused look, "If you're not, I'm going to start sounding like a speciest because you look exactly the same." The demon finished with his own glare at the dark purple haired male.

Romeo didn't answer him as without warning, the male began to power up his magical power, causing a small shockwave to be launched from the magic he gathered. This got E.N.D to raise an eyebrow by this sudden surge of magical energy.

"I will not fail this time! I will defeat you!" Romeo shouted before he charged right at the demon, getting E.N.D to grin.

"Oh… now this will be fun." The Fel Demon stated with excitement of his own as he gave off some of his own energy as well.

And with that, Romeo and E.N.D clashed once more. The fate of the world rests on the outcome of this battle.

Tada! Here we are. Like I said, this may only end up being either a two-shot or a three-shot at most, at least hopefully. We'll find out when we get to that point.

See you all next time, whenever that will be.
