Chapter 17. Lucy's (POV) I was gasping for breath as Natsu held me in his arms. "Why the heck would you do that? I'm no friend of yours!" End screamed. I put my hand on his cheek. My smooth skin rubbed against the dragon scales on his body. "You're Natsu. You are the same person I once knew you as. I'm sorry I will no longer be able to be by your side anymore. I know you'll make the right choice. I love you Natsu..." I said with my dying breath. After that my entire world went black. My heartbeat slowed and pulse stopped. Natsu's (POV) I held her lifeless body in my arms as I tried to recall the past. Not remembering anything, I laid her down before me and a sudden jolt of hate rose in my body. A deep hate for Zeref. I know what pain he has caused these people. I can tell by the crackling sounds in Lucy's voice. I came at Zeref with full force and slammed him down in front of Lucy. "Bring her back now!" I demanded. He looked suprised. "Natsu...you'll never be able to be with her. Your old self has entirely vanished. Stop this nonsense." He said and began standing up. "I'll handle it from here Mavis." Natsu said. "You're no match for me Natsu. I created you. Therefore, I am your superior." Zeref said making me burn with rage. "You said you created a monster who was strong enough to destroy the world right?...defeating one person in it won't be that tough Zeref." I said. Memories and flashbacks of my past at the guild kept coming in. I used all my energy up on my last blow Zeref took. However, I was so much out of strength from fighting Gray, Lucy, and Zeref that I may be but a mere existence too. I realized that I had put an end to Zeref. Burns spread across his body. He was unable to move. I began getting up to see Mavis standing above Zeref. Tears fell from her eyes. "Please rest in peace Zeref." She said. He put a hand to her face. "It's too late for me to be saved. My existence has stained this world. I've probably killed more people than you've met Mavis. I'm sorry...for everything I've done." He said with a smile. It's like he finally realized what pain he had caused the world. She held his hand. "Goodbye my friend. I love you." She said as she watched his body melt back into the world. She quickly wiped her tears and came over to me. "I can save Lucy. She's not entirely dead yet. She's in a state of sleep. An eternal sleep." She said waiting for me to talk next. "If she is to live...will these markings ever disappear from me? Will I ever be the same person I was?" I questioned. She frowned. "Natsu...the souls you once possessed. The Natsu everyone knew is gone. It happened when END took over. You will never be the same person you once where." She said. I looked down. "Please save her." I responded. "Do you love her. Whether you are Natsu or END?" She asked. "Yeah....I do." I said stepping back letting Mavis heal Lucy.
