At the Phantom Lord Guild headquarters: The entire guild was in high spirits for what Gajeel had done to Fairy Tail, all the members were talking about how weak Fairy Tail was and how they went crying to there mom's. "I heard Gajeel took out three of the members himself after trashing the place." One member called out.
"The Fairy clowns got what they had coming to them huh." Another member called out.
Three guild members were walking to the door saying, "We can't let Gajeel have all the fun. Lets go have some fun clipping wings."
As they reached the door, there was a massive explosion that blew the three of them into the wall across the hall covered into soot. The rest of the guild was in an uproar looking towards the door to see Fairy Tail standing there with Natsu in the lead in being the one who broke the door. "FAIRY TAIL HAS COME CALLING." Master Makarov roared.
Phantom Lord members rushed at the guild targeting Natsu first. Natsu saw it was 10 to 1 but just jumped at them while hitting them with a Fire Dragon's Wing Attack, scattering all 10 of his attackers. Natsu's face was contorted in fury and yelled, "WHO'S NEXT, I'M GOING TO ROAST YOU ALL.!"
The two guilds collided in a clash of magic and punches. Elfman changed his arm to one of his monster arms and punched multiple members at once knocking them out while Macao and Wakaba worked together to take out a large group of Phantom Lord members at once. Al and Bisca were shooting at Phantom Lord with their gun magic and covering each others back.
Many people from Phantom Lord rushed Makarov who had his eyes closed waiting for them to come. When he opened his eyes, they were glowing and he turned into a giant smashing them into the ground. "He's a monster!" a member exclaimed while coughing up blood from having his chest crushed inwards and passing out.
"YOU DARE HARM THIS MONSTERS CHILDREN? YOU ARE FOOLS TO THINK HUMAN LAWS WILL SAVE YOU FROM MY WRATH." Makarov roared while sweeping more members into the wall.
Phantom Lord was really started to panic now. They were realizing how wrong they were about Fairy Tail's strength. "They are crazy!" A member yelled out before getting slashed by Erza who was in her Black Wing Armor.
Erza ran to the next group of Phantom Lord members and slashed out in a wide arc cutting them down. Gray jumped over her and yelled "ICE MAKE: LANCE" launching a large amount of ice lances at the next group knocking most out and leaving the others gasping for breath.
"Hehe. They look to be pretty strong fighters for being a bunch of shitfaced weaklings." Gajeel said while observing the fight from high up on the rafters.
Back in Magnolia: Lucy was just coming back from shopping for her food for the week when it started raining, but the sun was still out. "Why is it raining while the sun is out?" Lucy asked herself since she was alone while everyone else was facing Phantom. She stayed behind since someone had to make sure Levy, Jet, and Droy weren't attacked again. She looked down the road and saw a woman walking in her direction who was talking quietly. "Who are you?" Lucy asked.
"Drip, Drip, Drop. Drip, Drip, Drop. Juvia is the rain woman. It's always with me wherever I go. What sort of woman are you, pray tell?" The woman going by Juvia said in a mono tone voice.
"I'm just the regular kind, and what's with all the drip dropping?" Lucy asked.
"I'll be going now." Juvia said in her mono tone voice.
"WELL TAKE THE RAIN WITH YOU!" Lucy half yelled.
Then Lucy heard someone making…odd noises she thought from behind her, when she turned around she saw a man rising out of the ground making the noises she heard. "I bid you bonjour, my fine young woman. Lady Juvia you know better then to turn away from your task at hand." "Of course not Monsieur Sol."
The man named Sol came up besides Juvia and said, "My monocle is whispering to me that this mademoiselle is in fact our cible." "Oh does it now?" Juvia asked as bland as always.
"Excuse the late introduction but I am Sol. I am a member of the Element four. I also go by "Sol of the Great Earth"." Sol said as he bent half way over to his side. 'That's a little creepy the way he bends.' Lucy thought to herself before realizing she was called a target.
"Wait you said I was your target, what does Phantom want with me if you are indeed part of the Element four?" Lucy asked somewhat panicking.
"The great Phantom Lord has sent us to fetch you, as to why; well that's not your concern at this point." Sol said.
Lucy tensed up and reached for her keys to fight them off while claiming, "You attacked my guild members! How dare you attack us!" But before Lucy could summon any celestial spirits she was surrounded in a sphere of water. "It's a good guess but it was not us who attacked your guild mates and who destroyed your guild. That was all Gajeel the Iron Dragon Slayer.
Lucy pounded on the water sphere around her trying to break free; she had dropped her keys as she was captured so she couldn't summon anyone at this point. "I am known as Juvia of the Great Sea, another member of the Element four. Juvia's Water Lock cannot be broken but do not worry; we are not here to kill you; just to capture and bring you back to our lord Lucy Heartfilia.
Back at Phantom's Headquarters: "ERZA, NATSU, I LEAVE THE REST OF THE GUILD IN YOUR HANDS. I'M GOING AFTER JOSE TO MAKE HIM PAY." Makarov yelled out while walking to the stairs leading to the top of the tower.
Natsu jumped at a member and hit him in the sternum with a flaming punch knocking him down while yelling to Erza, "Hey Erza lets see how well you can handle them."
"Oh I will handle them just fine, how about you Natsu? Your looking pretty worn out over there." Erza said teasingly.
Natsu just grinned in response and let out a Fire Dragon's Roar, toasting even more people from Phantom. Erza requiped to having twin swords and started weaving in and out of the enemy guild, slicing and dicing as she went causing them to drop like flies.
"Well since the main threat is gone, I guess its time I joined in the fight." Gajeel said while jumping down from the rafters. He hit a sign for the guild causing a loud crashing noise that caused the fight to cease momentarily and causing the guilds too look towards the source of the noise.
"It's the Iron Dragon Slayer, Blacksteel Gajeel!" Erza exclaimed as she saw him standing amidst the dust from the landing.
Nab jumped up yelling at Gajeel who simply knocked him away with his arm turned into an iron pillar taking out some of his own guild mates. "What the fuck is wrong with him? He just took out his own guild mates with that attack." Loke said in shock.
"Bring it on Fairy Tail weaklings. Or are you too scared?" Gajeel taunted.
"SCARED? REAL M EN ARE NOT AFRIAD OF A FIGHT!" Elfman roared while lunging at Gajeel with a stone arm, but Gajeel blocked with his arm turned to iron again.
"Your Elfman right?" Gajeel asked while kicking out at Elfman who leaned back to dodge him then punched back, but Gajeel countered it and launched another punch at him to only have Elfman catch it.
"Not bad big guy." Gajeel said. "That's because I'm a real man, unlike you fucking coward."
"Well let's see how a real man handles this…" Gajeel said as he launched out a bunch of small pillars from the arm Elfman was holding onto, striking his guild mates.
"Those are your guild members! Why are you attacking them?" Elfman asked in shock. "Because I knew you would get distracted!" Gajeel roared while punching Elfman across the face sending him flying. Elfman only flew back about 3 feet before Natsu jumped on him and sprung at Gajeel punching him across the face sending him flying back.
"He sent Gajeel flying!" "I've never seen that happen before!" The members of phantom were exclaiming.
"I am Fairy Tail's Dragon Slayer." Natsu declared as Gajeel pushed his way out of the debris. "Elfman let me fight him. It is fitting after all."
"Damn you Natsu. First I become a trampoline for you and now you're taking my man to man fight?" Elfman complained loudly.
"Iron Dragon Club!" Gajeel yelled as he launched an attack at Natsu, but Natsu grabbed onto his arm to stop the attack but being pushed back a few feet.
"Natsu!" Erza exclaimed thinking he might have been hurt.
"You hurt my nakama, it is unforgiveable. I am going to annihilate you." Natsu said venomously while igniting his hands causing Gajeel to retract his arm.
"Hmm that actually burnt you runt." Gajeel said while shaking his hand.
"Don't worry that was just me saying hello." Natsu said, eyes blazing in anger.
Erza sighed in relief when she saw that Natsu was alright. Erza moved in to assist Natsu but he stopped her. "No Erza, this is my fight. Gajeel should no the consequences of hurting something a dragon holds close to heart."
Erza looked at Natsu and said softly, "Fine but you better come back to me safely." Natsu grinned at her and turned back to Gajeel.
"Lets get this party started Gajeel!" Natsu roared as he jumped at Gajeel pulling back his arm to punch Gajeel. Gajeel moved to block it but at the last second Natsu feinted and axe kicked Gajeel slamming his face into the ground. Natsu jumped back and said, "Get up Blacksteel or are you really that weak?"
Gajeel said "It's gonna take a hell of a lot more then that to take me down." As he exploded out of the rubble that covered him from that impact and launched another pillar at Natsu who was hit in the chin and thrown back 10 feet or so while going through some tables. "Oh come on now, I know that didn't hurt you Salamander." Gajeel said while taunting for Natsu to come at him.
Natsu jumped out of the broken tables that were covering him, "You know the score that's for sure." Natsu said while grinning devilishly. Natsu lunged at Gajeel punching for his face while Gajeel back peddled blocking most of the hits but getting clipped here and there. Gajeel dropped to the ground spinning in air kicking Natsu across the face and chest with each leg. The kicks caused Natsu to stumble back and he thought, 'Damn this fucker is actually pretty tough, my jaw is partially out of place. Got to end this fast if that keeps up.'
After Natsu regained his balance he had to block a punch Gajeel send to his face, he blocked using his elbow then pivoted and swung his other arm around elbowing Gajeel in the back of the head sending him towards the floor. Before Gajeel hit the floor, Natsu brought up his knee hitting him in the face again sending him back up and spun around round house kicking Gajeel in the stomach sending him flying into the wall.
'Wow that was amazing hand to hand combat Natsu just demonstrated.' Erza thought. 'If he fought like that against me I would have had a harder time. What else has he become capable of from his training?' She thought to herself in utter shock.
The guild watched in disbelief as Natsu sent Gajeel flying. Gray was especially shocked considering he and Natsu always wrestled and he'd never seen attacks like that come from him. Gajeel was indented into the wall and struggled to pull himself out. As he popped free he said, "Not bad Salamander that had hurt quite a bit there. Let's see you try that again."
Gajeel ran at Natsu and jumped into the air while flipping to do another axe kick which Natsu blocked but Natsu failed to see the other leg coming from the side that hit him in the side of his ribs causing one to crack slightly but Natsu paid it no heed. Gajeel didn't pause for a second as he threw some punches at Natsu who was desperately blocking while trying to regain balance from the kick.
Natsu pushed back from Gajeel and yelled, "Fire Dragon's Roar!" sending a blast of fire at Gajeel who jumped out of the way causing his guild mates behind him to become human toast. "Fucking weaklings." Gajeel said as his guild mates were taken down by a single blast of fire.
"How about we start taking this fight seri…" Gajeel was cut off as the guild began to shake.
Phantom Lord Members were panicking at the guild shaking. "What is that!?" One of them yelled out in panic.
"It's Master Makarov's rage. Nothing will stop him now." Gray said from the sidelines.
"It's called the Giants Wrath." Loke finished for Gray.
At the top of the tower, Makarov blasted the door open to reveal Jose sitting on a throne. "Jose! You have committed unforgivable acts. Nothing will save you now!" Makarov roared at the other Wizard Saint.
He launched a giant fist at Jose causing a dust cloud to appear. As the dust cleared Makarov saw Jose sitting there but he was flickering. "A hologram is it? Where are you coward?" Makarov yelled. Jose didn't answer, instead a image of Lucy tied up and unconscious appeared next to him.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO LUCY!?" Makarov roared.
"Oh nothing really, she's just knocked out at the moment. You'll have to come get her if you want her back Makarov." The image of Jose said.
Makarov was glaring with hate at Jose and didn't notice someone appear behind him. Aria of the Element four was behind him with arms raised. Makarov felt a rise in magic and turned around in shock, 'How did he sneak up on me?' He thought but couldn't react in time as he felt a vortex of energy swallow him, draining him of his strength.
The floor crumpled away and Makarov fell down towards the bottom floor of Phantom striking the ground next to everyone. Fairy Tail looked in shock at their Master who was lying on the ground with green skin, eyes closed, and no energy coming from him.
Natsu turned away from his fight and ran to his master. As Natsu got to Makarov he felt his heart stop. He couldn't sense any life coming from Master Makarov…Natsu was in complete shock, there lying in front of him was Master Makarov without any life force coming from him. Natsu couldn't feel any heart beat or see him breathing. 'No. Not again, please no not again. I can't go through with loosing another father…' (Natsu see's Makarov as a father in this story since he took him in with out question and it just makes sense. IF he does actually see it that way then I need to reread the Manga since I haven't read it in a couple months.) Fairy Tail looked at their master on the ground before them in horror; their seemingly indestructible master was dead.
Erza walked up to Natsu to try and get him to calm down, they were in a war after all. "Come on Natsu get up we need to get him out of here, we're still surrounded by enemies." Erza said while tugging on him. She turned around and shouted, "EVERYONE FALL BACK TO FAIRY TAIL NOW!"
All the members of Fairy Tail started to gather themselves to retreat when they felt something sinister. Floating down from the hole in the roof was the image of Jose who was laughing like a maniac. "So the great Wizard Saint Makarov falls. Conquering Fairy Tail will be easy now. Gajeel and the Element Four I leave them to you. I must go deal with Lucy Heartfillia now." With that the image faded away.
Phantom Lord Members started surrounding Fairy Tail preparing to take them down while their spirits were crushed. Before Phantom Lord could attack they were all blasted away by a fierce magic. Over by Master Makarov, Natsu was slowly rising to his feet. Erza looked at Natsu then felt her heart stop. Natsu was no longer the cheery wizard who could be serious when needed. Instead in place of him was Natsu surrounded by black flames and blood red eyes (not glowing red, just surrounding the pupil was red) and a murderous look.
Fairy Tail was looking at Natsu in shock and Happy was looking in horror seeing this happen once before and hoping to never again see it, he knew what was going to happen. "ERZA! WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF HERE NOW IT'S NOT SAFE ANYMORE!" Happy shouted desperately. Erza just looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?" She asked curiously.
Before Happy could answer, her question was answered by Natsu who lunged at the closest member of Phantom and grabbed his face burning it off. All that was left of his face was a skull. Natsu dropped the body and looked to the rest of the guild. "You are all going to die." Natsu said in a dark voice that just wasn't him.
Erza and the rest of Fairy Tail were looking at Natsu in shock and disbelief; he had just killed someone right in front of them and threatened the rest of Phantom Lord with death. Natsu summoned a giant fire ball in his left hand and threw it at the members of Phantom Lord who all tried to get away. Some made it but for those who didn't; there was nothing left but ashes.
Natsu was laughing at this point. He was laughing at those who he killed and at how he had more to kill still. He was being completely driven by his rage, and he was enjoying everything kill he made. Every life he took Natsu felt even more alive and just wanted to kill more. Erza was horrified at what she was seeing Natsu do. This was no longer the man that claimed to love her. He was someone else entirely now.
Gajeel who had just witnessed a very pissed off Natsu kill some of his guild mates had finally snapped out of shock. He lunged at Natsu yelling, "TIME TO DIE SALAMANDER." Before he could get his attack off Natsu threw him back and slammed him into the wall.
Natsu was about to finish him off when he was tackled from the side. Natsu was about to attack his attacker but before he could he felt him be hugged tightly. "Snap out of it Natsu, please. This isn't you." Erza cried. She clung to him tighter hoping he would stop.
Natsu looked down at Erza who was clinging to him as if her own life depended on it. Erza couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't watch Natsu kill someone else even if it was an enemy. Erza felt Natsu snake his arms around her back and she smiled since he had finally stopped. "Thank goodness you sto..." Erza was cut off as Natsu squeezed her hard enough to dent her armor. She looked up to see Natsu staring at her with the same murderous gaze he had been looking at Phantom Lord with.
"Natsu? What are you doing?" Erza cried while trying to push away from him. As she managed to get away, Natsu grabbed her arm and threw her across the guild hall and jumped after her landing on her stomach.
Everyone, including Phantom Lord was staring in shock. Natsu just attacked his own guild member and was still attacking her. Erza was beyond shock, she was being attacked by the man who loved her without remorse or pity. She couldn't even defend herself. Natsu was sitting on her pounding on her relentlessly and laughing at the same time. "NATSU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP ATTACKING ERZA!" Gray yelled but Natsu just ignored him not even registering what he said. From all the hits Natsu delivered to Erza, her armor had been shattered and she had a few ribs broken.
Natsu grabbed Erza by the throat and lifted her into the air. Natsu held up his other hand igniting it on fire, the same black flames that were swirling around him. Erza looked at Natsu in horror realizing that he was about to kill her. "Natsu…stop…please." Erza gasped.
Natsu swung his arm at Erza's unprotected chest, who had closed her eyes waiting for the blow to land. After a few moments she was dropped to the ground so she opened her eyes and saw Natsu stopped his attack and was clutching at his head as if he had a migraine. Natsu fell down thrashing about yelling in pain still clutching his head. The black flames surrounding him were starting to dissipate. After a few moments Natsu stopped thrashing around and laid still, face down.
Erza rushed to his side and turn him over so he was looking up to her. Natsu was back to his regular eye color. Erza pulled Natsu into a fierce hug and was crying uncontrollably, she didn't care who saw right now she was just happy to have Natsu back to the way he was before.
The members of Phantom Lord took this opportunity to get away from the crazed mage; even if he was calm they didn't want to risk his fury again. As they fled, some of the members of Fairy Tail ran over to Natsu, mainly his friends and team while the rest ran over to Master Makarov. Happy jumped onto Natsu and was also crying, he had been afraid he lost Natsu this time. Natsu who had been unresponsive before had now bolted upright and shouted, "MASTER!"
Natsu's sudden movement had caused the people surrounding him to jump slightly. Erza let go of Natsu so she could look him in the eye and said to him, "I'm sorry Natsu but he's gone."
Natsu stared at her in disbelief and tore himself away running over to where the Master lay. Everyone surrounding the Master had tears in their eyes at the loss of their master who had been more of family to them all, rather then being a Master. Natsu pushed his way and collapsed at Master Makarov's side with tears in his eyes.
"How could this happen to him?" Macao said softly. No one answered; all of them were silently wishing it was a bad dream.
Natsu was looking at Master Makarov with tears streaming down his face. He had lost another Father. Natsu laughed darkly at himself, it seems that he really wasn't meant to have a Father.
'Natsu.'
Natsu snapped up looking around not believing the voice he just heard.Use it Natsu' the disembodied voice said again.
Natsu couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'Igneel…' Natsu thought shakily. After 7 long years he finally was hearing from the dragon again. 'Use it before it's too late Natsu.' With that final thought Natsu could no longer feel the presence of the voice speaking to him.
'That was Igneel, I just know it.' Natsu thought to himself. 'He wants me to use that then? Well I mustn't disappoint him, though I wish he were still talking to me.' Natsu felt deeply hurt from hearing Igneel's voice in his mind and then him being gone just as fast as he was there.
Natsu looked down at Makarov in determination. 'If I am to use this power I need to get back up to full strength.' Natsu turned to Macao and said, "Hey Macao make me some fire, I need to be at full strength for this."
Macao and the rest of the guild were utterly confused by what he meant, but Macao created some fire for Natsu nonetheless. "Don't know what you're going to do, but do it fast so we can get out of here."
Natsu started to consume the fire and turned towards Master Makarov and held up his right hand. "Everyone stand back." Natsu said as he started building up power in his hand. After a few moments, black fire started to surround Natsu's hand, but it was different then before when he had gone ballistic. The fire had a golden hue around it this time. 'This is going to hurt a lot.' Natsu thought with a grimace.
"Natsu what are you doing?" Erza asked, not sure at all as to what he was doing. The rest of the guild was just as confused as her.
"Bringing him back…" was the only reply she got which caused the guild to stiffen at his words.
Natsu put his hand over Master Makarov's heart and thrust his hand into the Master's heart yelling, "DRAGON'S LIFE FLAME!" The effect was immediate on Natsu who had started gasping in pain. The spell was taking his own life force and pushing it into the Master. The color was draining from Natsu's face rapidly and his face started changing at the same time. No longer was his face that of a 19 year old; but that of someone in their mid 20's. It wasn't a large change but it was still noticeable.
Natsu no longer had a boyish look to him; instead it was a more mature look but tired at the same time. It was as if he had lost a small portion of energy that wouldn't come back with no matter how much he rested. Master Makarov had started glowing and a pulsing sound was heard. The sound was similar as to if someone's heart beat had been put on speaker.
Natsu pulled his hand out and the Master started rising off the ground into the air with the flame surrounding him completely. The fire surrounding the Master started to creep its way over to Natsu as well, who was groaning in pain as his own life force was being taken from him. As soon as the fire touched him Natsu screamed in pain, it was nothing like he had ever felt before. It was as if his skin was being peeled of with a peeler of some kind and his muscles being shredded from his bones.
The guild was staring at Natsu who was still screaming in pain but they could do nothing to help him; the fire surrounding the Master and Natsu was too intense in heat. Not even Erza who requiped to her Flame Empress Armor just recently repaired) could get within five feet of the pair. That's when the situation that seemed bad went to worse: Natsu's skin was slowly falling off him in chunks about 1 inch long. Blood was flowing freely from the numerous wounds all over Natsu now who was screaming even more.
At that moment the fire which was almost pitch black just flared a brilliant gold and all the guild could feel from it was warmth. It felt like a lovers caress to them. Natsu stopped screaming for this flame was sealing his wounds up and taking some of the pain away. After about 30 seconds the flames disappeared entirely and Natsu fell to the ground gasping for air. The Master's body floated down and landed softly where he had been laying before.
At this point the guild rushed to both of them to see what happened. They were mainly looking at Natsu who was struggling to breathe because of how much blood he lost and how much of his life force was taken. (If his life was a percentage he'd be around 10% at this point). "Natsu are you okay?" Erza cried while grabbing his hand trying to keep his attention so he didn't slip away from her again.
The guild was looking at Natsu hoping he was okay, for it looked like he was about to die. Then they heard something they wouldn't believe to ever hear again. "Ugh what hit me?" Master Makarov said while trying to sit up. Everyone turned to stare at him with eyes as wide as dinner plates and jaws on the floor. There was Master Makarov who had just been killed was now sitting up and looking at them all.
"Last thing I remember was talking to an image of Jose…" Then the Master stopped as it clicked into place. "How am I alive? I was killed up there. Someone had sucked my life dry." Before Master Makarov could process another thought; the entire guild tackled him into a hug.
"Master!" "You're okay!" "We thought we lost you for good!" Many different people of the guild cried out with more crying out other things similar to those said already. Everyone had tears in their eyes at the fact they had their master back.
"Who did this? How am I alive again?" Makarov asked quietly. In response the guild parted to the sides to show Erza holding Natsu close to her. She was crying silently as she held Natsu. "Come on Natsu come back to me please! Come back Natsu! You said you would always be there for me!"
Everyone was staring at her confused. "Erza?" Gray asked, then continued, "What's wrong?"
"His heart stopped…" Erza said before breaking down again (sorry if that seems out of character to you guys but if the person who you love and they love you has their heart stop and your not crying, you are seriously fucked up).
The guild blanched at her words, they loose their master, and then get him back, but at the cost of his savior's life. "DAMNIT NATSU!" Erza screamed pounding on him. The guild jumped at her sudden out burst and her actions. Erza constantly pounded on his chest over his heart while crying more. "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU ALWAYS BEING THEIR FOR ME NATSU!?" Erza screamed again. Pounding more and more on him. After a few moments she collapsed over Natsu crying over him. She just lost the man who had fallen in love with her and she with him. She still had to confront her past before being with him but she still loved him.
"Erza, I can't breathe with you lying on top of me."
Erza jerked up in surprise and saw Natsu looking up at her with a smile on his face. "I was having a wonderful dream until you woke me up you know." Natsu said with a slight smirk. "But that doesn't matter now since I woke up to your beautiful face." As he said that Erza turned beet red.
"Baka. You scare me to death with me thinking your dead and then you go and say that." Erza said as she lightly punched him on the shoulder.
"Natsu? What did you do?" Master Makarov said as he slowly rose to his feet.
"MASTER!" Natsu exclaimed he heard him speak. "It worked! It really worked."
"Whatever you did did seem to work my boy. But what was it that you did?" The Master questioned.
"I used Dragon's Life Flame" Natsu said while sitting up, he was still too sore to really stand up. "It's a move that takes my own life force and puts it into someone that was recently killed. It's the exact opposite of death magic, but just as rare to see. It's almost never used for a few reasons."
"What are the reasons? I have never heard of this spell before." The master stated.
"Well that's reason number one. Only a few people have ever learned it through out time. Second, it has a very low success rate, and also it generally kills the caster. For both the caster to survive and the person it was used on to be brought back is even rarer. That has only happened once before if I remember correctly from what Igneel taught me. That's not it though for the caster; if they do survive they loose part of their life span. It's an unknown amount; it could be a few days to a few decades taken off." Natsu explained.
"Well Natsu, that is astounding at what you accomplished and I can't thank you enough my boy." Master Makarov said while bowing to Natsu. "Though I think its time to go back to our guild, though we need to go save Lucy as well."
As the guild gathered up, Elfman called out, "Hey where is Loke? He was here a few minutes ago."
With Loke:
Loke had just caught Lucy as she fell from the tower trying to get away from Jose. (Sorry all I didn't really feel like writing that whole part out. If you don't know what happens just go watch the anime and instead of Natsu saving her it's Loke).
"Thanks for the save Loke." Lucy said shakily from falling well over 150 feet.
"No problem Lucy." Loke said while fixing his glasses. "Are you hurt anywhere?" He asked Lucy.
"No, I'm fine. Thank you though."
"Again no problem, but come on lets get heading back to the guild."
Lucy nodded and the two of them set off for Fairy Tail.
Back with everyone else:
"Come on everyone let's head back now and recuperate. This was a tiring day for us all. Especially Natsu." Master Makarov said with a chuckle while looking at Natsu who was currently passed out in Erza's arms.
"Aye Sir!" The guild responded to him.
