A/N: So first story I have published and just did a quick revision of the chapters and fixing mistakes sense i didn't belive in proof reading when i first made this story, but i still love the concept, anyway Cheers! Disc: don't own Ft or charachters
The Fairy Tail guild hall lays destroyed along with most of Magnolia, the once beautiful city a shell of its former glory. A few miles on the outskirts of the city lays the remains of the Alegria destroyed by the Celestial Spirit King. Among the wreckage lies the remaining members of both Fairy Tail and Tartaros finishing the final battles of their war while in the sky the Fire Dragon King Igneel battles the Black Dragon of the Apocalypse Acnologia. While the earth shakes with the sheer might of the dragons blows colliding a newly dubbed ice Demon Slayer along with his salon haired Dragon Slayer companion take on Tartaros acting leader Mard Geer.
Thorns rising from the ground strike the two slayers who fight back just as ferociously with fire and ice together if the battle wasn't personal for the two they would be openly enjoying it even so one could still find a smile on their faces along with a fire in their eyes. As Natsu and Mard Geer come hurtling towards the ground Gray lands the final blow before impact with the ground. Mard Geer lying helplessly in a crater as Natsu and Gray quarrel over who gets the book of E.N.D. as it disappears. As they point fingers an eerie voice stops them cold. "Thank you for keeping my book, safe boys."
"Zeref!" The two recite unanimously with spine-chilling malice along with glares that could kill. "Give me back that book!" they say still in sync.
"I am afraid I can't do that Natsu." states a still ice cold Zeref.
"L-lord Zeref! How may I be of service?" states a barely standing Mard Geer still in his crater.
While Natsu and Gray recover from the shock that the demon is still alive after their attacks, the demon and black wizard carry out their conversation.
"Ah, Mard Geer your still alive, such a shame," says the black wizard tone unchanged.
"M-my lord whatever do you mean?" says the baffled Underworld king.
*sigh* "You lost. I no longer have any use for you". Zeref states raising his hand to snap. Mard Geer realizing his time is short decides to do one last ack to break the Fairys.
"Wait my lord!" Mard Geer shouts with urgency as he hijacks Warrens telepathy once again.
"I can still please you, my lord, I can resurrect master Etherious Natsu Dragneel and return your brothers soul to the body that pathetic Fire Dragon Slayer is currently inhabiting just more time and he will return lord Zeref and that boy will be no more and E.N.D. shall return." he rants out quickly before he can be interrupted. Zeref quickly returns him to his book and destroys it while every human and exceed who heard has frozen with shock the fear of losing magic and the dragons fighting above shoved to the back of their worries at the news just revealed.
"Natsu is E.N.D. and Zeref's brother?" Gray ask more than says in less than a whisper with utter disbelief.
"Well it's been fun Fairy Tail and good to see you again brother but is about time i take my leave" before another sound can be made Zeref is gone.
A loud crash sounds reminding everyone of the dragons above causing a cataclysm on the earth below. With one final blow, the Fire Dragon King takes the Black Dragons arm as Acnologia "takes his life". The Dragon King retreats as the Dragonslayers say their final goodbyes to their parents with a grieving Salmon mess of a Dragonslayer by his father's fading body with all that has happened today he feels truly alone questioning if he even has a home at Fairy Tail anymore with the news that has been dropped by Mard Geer and Zeref. "Can I even face them? What will they think? Will they still accept me? I…. I can't face it…. Not yet at least." says a hollow feeling pinkette.
Natsu doesn't utter another word as he heads back to the shack he shares with happy to pack and write a letter to his best friends Lucy and Happy to tell them 'he needs time and he'll be back as soon as he gets his head on right' and leaves it at the blondes doorstep. Without another thought, the Dragonslayer leaves Magnolia with no knowledge of a heartbroken blonde and a hysterical exceed searching all over ruins of the town with tears blurring their visions well into the night until they sob to sleep.
It's been three months since the Salamander of Fairy Tail left with every day the exceed and stellar spirit mage waiting for him to come home with the rest of the guild wondering if it will be their Natsu that comes back. The blonde sits at a table in the newly rebuilt guild hall with a blank expression on her face if she shows any emotion more tears will fall for something she can't change. The rest of magnolia is still repairing the last of the damages after the damage Tartaros caused. The Guildhall was one of the last buildings to be repaired with troubled mages over the new about their Salamander, having to repair the town first for it being their fault that Tartaros was here in the first place and having master M.I.A. not long after the pinkette disappeared Macco has been acting as temporary Guild Master again but he mainly just does paperwork. The blonde is brought out of her own little world by a less enthusiastic than normal exceed. "-shhy! Lushy!?"
"Huh!? Oh Happy what's up?" says the blonde returning to the Earthland plain.
"Lushy you were spacing out again." to which the blonde replies with a soft 'sorry'. "Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to go on a job, you've been so busy training we've hardly hung out almost this whole month!" exclaims a slightly upset Happy.
"Yeah sure happy. It could be fun" Lucy replies with a hollow smile the flying cat has learned not to question. The two walk(or fly) over to the request bored to search for a job the two could complete. Taking the request to the white-haired bar made to get approved and head for the door. As Lucy reaches for the door it opens slowly so she steps back to avoid getting hit as tears start to well before the image even clears, she didn't need to see clearly to recognize her first love. Lucy dives into his arms screaming with all the fury she could muster which was very little considering her joy and sadness all anger of being left behind forgotten. "You idiot! Don't you dare even think about leaving us behind like that again!" she says hugging him tighter like he'd disappear the second she let go. Recovering from the shock he put his right arm around the girl to comfort her as her tears fell. "I missed you" she mutters burying her head deeper into his chest and a ghost of a smile reached Natsu's lips as she tightened her grip once again the exceed buried as deep just noticed.
"I'm home guys" whispers the pinkette.
