Present:

The demon guild known as Tartaros went to war with the strongest light guild, Fairy Tail. During the fight, the demons and the members of Fairy Tail failed to notice the legendary black wizard on a hill. 'Soon enough Natsu, you will grow strong. I just need to wait a little more,' thought Zeref.

His plan had been in affect long enough. Natsu proved time an time again that he won his fights from luck or from outside help.

Zeref had figured out how to stop that but it involved a new purpose in his life. This time he wouldn't need anyone's help. He now had his brother. The black wizard looked into the black smog filled sky. 'Soon Mavis, I will join you in the other world, and my ultimate creation will fight my worst.'

Meanwhile...

Natsu struggled to stand up. Mard Geer had him pinned down while he looked like he didn't have a scratch on him. 'Damn it! He's too strong!' he thought.

His eyes nearly bulged out when he heard a roar miles away. The same roar that burned the definition of fear into his conscious. The same roar he heard years ago on Tenrou Island. 'No! Why is that monster here! And why now!' he thought.

While he was distracted Mard gave him an uppercut to the face. "Give up human. Your two weak to fight me alone," he said while still holding the book. "FACE may have been deactivated, the demons of Tartaros may have fallen, but Acnologia is coming and make no doubt, he will destroy everyone that you care about," he said.

"It doesn't matter if that overgrown lizard comes or not! I'll fight you, him, or anyone if it means protecting my comrades!" yelled Natsu as his body was covered in scorching flames. Mard was a little impressed that he could still fight but knew it would be his down fall.

"You continue to amaze me human. However you can hardly stand yet you continue to fight. As a reward, I will make your death a very quick one," said Mard Geer.

Before Mard could deliver the final blow, he noticed that Natsu was glowing. Golden flames surrounded him and the dragon slayer screams in pain. The flames spread into the air outlining a large and menacing draconic shape.

As the shape took form Mard could see dark red scales, scars that littered its body, and two menacing eyes that rivaled the evilest of demons. Right before his very eyes had the flames of his opponent turned into a large red dragon.

The dragon let out a roar that shook the heavens. The red dragon lowered it's head to look at the salmon haired dragon slayer. "So my son was bested by a demon! I'm a bit disappointed Natsu," said the dragon. Natsu had a mix of emotions in him. He knew this dragon. The same one that had left him in the year x777.

He felt joy, anger, confusion, sadness, and relieved. "I-igneel," he whispered. Igneel looked in the distance. He flapped his mighty wings and took off into he sky. The dragon king flew to the north. Waiting for him their was a pitch black dragon with blue tribal tattoos on its body. Its head was rounder than that of Igneel's and it had pure white eyes. The dragon roared and Igneel did the same.

Acnologia had arrived, and it was fueled by rage at seeing the Fire Dragon King. "It has been 400 years and yet an ugly creature such as yourself still roams Earthland!" yelled Igneel. "I will make sure that you do not ever return!" he yelled.

Igneel attacked with a flaming fist, hitting Acnologia straight in the face. The Dragon growled and also attacked, smacking Igneel with its tail.

On the ground, the Fairy Tail were in awe of the power Igneel had. The Tenrou group especially since they had faced that monster before and their attacks did nothing. Natsu felt a mix of emotions and using his magic he launched himself into the air and got on Igneel's back.

"What the hell you bastard! How the hell did you appear from my flames and why'd you leave me!" yelled Natsu in anger.

"Now isn't the time you brat!" yelled Igneel. Igneel dodged another attack and delivered a devastating breath attack. The breath attack covered all of Acnologia and created an explosion of fire in the air that shook heaven and earth from Igneel's immense power. "Let me deal with Acnologia first and then I'll tell you. For now get the book of E.N.D. We can't allow the demons to revive him," Igneel said referring to Mard Geer.

After a while Natsu agreed and began to fight with Mard again only to completely miss him with every attack or for Mard to block them. "Your pathetic you insect," said Mard. "You can't beat me. I'm in a completely different league than you!" he said as multiple spiked roots hit Natsu.

The mage screamed in pain. He was panting heavily and Mard was still ready for more. It annoyed him since all the demon had been doing was dodging, delivering cheap shots, and clutching the book of E.N.D in his hand with a huge smirk on his face.

"Damn it Natsu! I thought you could do better than that," said a voice. Natsu turned to see a shirtless Gray Fullbuster with a strange tattoo on his forearm.

"I see Silver passed on his magic to a weakling like you," said Mard. "I knew he would betray me eventually. I just didn't know when," he said with a smirk.

"You know you two amuse me. A human who has fought multiple of my demons and survived. And a human who defeated his father to even get close to fight me," said Mard. "I tried to give your death's mercy but you leave me no choice. You two have made me feel something I haven't felt in so long. Anger," said Mard as he had a crazed look in his eyes.

The look in his eyes set shivers down the ice mage and dragon slayer. "Gray," said Natsu.

The newly made Devil Slayer looked at him. "As much as I want to take him on alone," Natsu began. "I don't stand a chance alone. We need to take him out together," he said.

The ice mage looked at him before he scoffed. "Try not to get in my way. Cause once this is over I'm kicking your pyro ass with this new magic," he smirked.

Natsu gave him a cocky grin. "First one to finish him wins!" he said. Gray and Natsu both rushed and started to attack the Underworld King with everything they had.

Meanwhile...

While Gray and Natsu were fighting Mard Geer, Igneel fighting Acnologia, the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth were fighting their old master, Jiemma. He had been turned into a demon by Mard Geer and had become incredibly more powerful.

Sting and Rogue struggled against him, but their hearts never gave up, and after a while, they managed to defeat him. The two dragon slayers were panting. The fight took everything out of them.

Everyone in the warzone was tired. Fairy Tail's toughest mages could hardly stand. Even the mages considered S-Class. Laxus Dreyer, Erza Scarlet, Mirajane Strauss, Gajeel Redfox, Juvia Lockser, Gray Fullbuster, and even the mighty Natsu Dragneel.

Fairy Tail was worn out taking down most of Tartaros. Sabertooth's two dragon slayers looked in he sky. The two dragons were still fighting in the air. Both delivered attack after attack.

Dispute being on the verge of collapsing, they were amazed of the strength the two dragons and their pure power. The red dragon, they had never seen and didn't know where it had come from. The black dragon however, they knew that that was the King of Dragons and the Dragon of Apocalypse, Acnologia.

After a gruesome amount of time, Natsu and Gray managed to defeat Mard Geer with the help of Natsu unlocking dragon force on his own and Gray's final attack with his devil slayer magic. The two dragons would be the ones to decide how this battle would end.

Just as Igneel was about to attack, Acnologia slashed right through him, destroying and tearing the fire dragon apart.

"IGNEEL!" yelled Natsu. He rushed towards where Igneel was. Igneel landed close to the Fairy Tail wizards. They checked to see if Igneel was alright. This was their mistake.

"NO!" yelled Igneel. "Get away!" he yelled. The guild looked up, but it was to late. "You were pathetic Igneel as well as your son's guild. You will all die!" Acnologia roared. Acnologia launched its final breath attack, destroying the guild, the twin dragons, and Igneel in one huge attack, leaving Natsu and Gray alone.

Natsu now burst into tears. The guild was gone because of his weakness. Igneel was gone because he was stupid and arrogant. And now he was alone because he was weak. He looked at Gray and he also had tears alone. They didn't notice someone behind them.

"Now that their gone out will be easier!" said Mard Geer as he pierced Gray's heart with a vine. Gray couldn't even scream in pain since Mard had killed him instantly. Before he could do the same to Natsu. He found that he couldn't move. "I'm disappointed Mard Geer. You should know that you aren't to lay a finger on your master, E.N.D," said a voice.

Right behind him was Zeref. Natsu was now confused, sad, shocked, and even more, angry. Zeref looked in the sky and saw a blue beam headed towards them. Acnologia didn't want survivers, especially Zeref and E.N.D.

Before Natsu could react, everything went white. He heard an explosion but weirdly enough felt no pain and before he knew it, he was in darkness...

Hours Later...

Salamander awoke a couple of hours later. The dragon slayer groaned in discomfort as he stretched his arms. The salmon hair mage popped some of his bones and looked around.

Still, the dragon slayer saw nothing but darkness. He seemed to be floating in an endless sea of black without an end. Despite this, he chuckled to himself.

'So I'm dead now,' he thought. 'I'm sorry gramps, Erza, Laxus, Gray, Lucy, Wendy, Igneel...I failed,' he thought.

A single tear fell down his cheek. Everyone was dead because he was weak. 'Why was I so weak. I promised to protect fairy tail! I couldn't even protect myself!' he thought.

"Now, now Natsu. Is that anyway to think of yourself," said a voice. Natsu turned around and saw the person he hated. Someone he didn't want to see.

"Zeref," he growled. Zeref gave him a smile. It wasn't a sadistic or warm one. It was one of sadness. Now the dragon slayer was confused. Confused of where he was. Confused of why he was with Zeref, and even more on why Zeref was sad.

"I'm sorry all the pain I've caused you. I never wanted this Natsu. All I ever wanted was for you to be revived and me to die. When you died, I was forced to revive you into E.N.D, or also known as Etherious Natsu Dragneel. After I created Acnologia I realized I would never become human once more. No matter how much you hate me, Igneel and the people you've met, I made sure that you would met them. I made sure that you would know that you always had a family, instead of having a brother like me. One that kills everything and everyone he cares about around him," said Zeref with tears in his eyes.

Now Natsu was shocked. He was not only E.N.D, but he was also Zeref's brother! "Now I know that I must make amends with you," said Zeref. "Natsu you aren't dead," he said.

"Mard Geer was killed in the blast as well as your friends and Igneel. However I managed to save us," said Zeref. Natsu growled. "What the hell is the point in me living. You should just finish me off now because everyone I knew and loved is now dead! And all because I was too damn weak to even fight for them!" yelled Natsu.

Zeref looked at him and knew his plan would work. "Natsu, if you were stronger, do you think you could save them?" asked Zeref. Natsu looked at him confused but said, "I don't think so! I know so!"

Zeref smiled again. "With my help, I can help you see them again," said Zeref.

Natsu grabbed him by the collar. "I know your lying so quite trying to manipulate me. I'm not some fucking puppet that you can just use for your entertainment," said Natsu in anger. Zeref smiled at him again. "All you have to do is trust me," he said as he held out his hand. "If you don't, you'll never see Igneel or anyone of your friends again," said Zeref.

Natsu looked at him for a minute before sighing. He reluctantly grabbed Zeref's hand. Instantly, he felt huge amounts of magic power in the area. So much that he began to think he was in the Tower Of Heaven again. He looked at the pitch black place and the entire area glowed light blue. As time progressed, the area glowed brighter. Zeref had his eyes closed and was now talked.

"God of Time, and master of the past, present, and future, Chronos I ask that you to bind our minds and souls together and set us back to the time when he was young and I was dormant. Give him back what time has taken and take me as a vessel in exchange," said Zeref.

A monstrous, deep voice could be heard in the area. "I do this favor, for the boy Zeref as he has caused nothing to deserve this! As the Master of Time, I grant your request. Now GO!" yelled the voice.

Natsu felt the place collapse and his body shrink to the size of a child. He felt drowsy but fought to stay awake. "Sleep Natsu, for tomorrow you will see, what only someone else managed to pull off," said Zeref.

With those final words, Natsu stopped fighting it and fell asleep. He would have to wait until tomorrow to see if Zeref kept his part if the deal. As long as Natsu trusted him, he would.
