"Salamander beat the dragon, but it was too much for the guy." Lucy turned her attention to Gajeel.
"Too much for...What do you mean?! Where is he?! Where is Natsu?!" Lucy asked in a serious but worried tone.
"Salamanders is dead. He died after he killed the dragon." Gajeel bluntly said. Lucy's eyes widen in shocked.
"WHAT?!" She yelled out, followed by her guildmates who were shocked at what they heard. Even Gray was surprised.
"Lucy, Natsu's dead. The dragon was beyond powerful, almost at the same level as Acnologia. Natsu came up with the most dangerous idea that cost him his life when he ate the diamond from the dragon, some melted iron from Gajeel, and some Air from Wendy.
-Flashback-
Levy woke up after being knocked by an energy blast created by Scylla. She saw Jet and Droy knocked out next to her and the three dragon slayers on the ground, laying in front of the diamond dragon.
"You pathetic humans! You think you can beat me?! The great Scylla?!" The diamond dragon asked in an arrogant tone. She looked at the three dragon slayers that were laying face down on the ground, and noticed the familiar magic energy that flowed through their bodies.
"Grandeeney. Metalicana. And Igneel. Ah yes, that's why your presence is similar. Those three must have taught you dragon slayer magic." She laughs maniacally.
"W-What's so funny?" Natsu asked while trying to get up.
"You three. Just because you know how to use dragon slayer magic, you think you can beat me." Scylla laughs again once more.
"Your not dealing with any kind of dragon you know! Those weaklings don't even compare me! And to top it off, you having the same type of magic as them makes you twice as weak!" As soon as Natsu heard what she said about Igneel, he really wanted to punch her lights out. Not for insulting his magic, but for insulting the one who taught it to the fire mage. Same goes for Wendy and Gajeel. So without warning, Natsu asks Wendy to give him a portion of concentrated air. He also asks Gajeel to give him a piece of metal, which the fire mage melts a little. Lastly he took the diamond that came off of Scylla. Everyone wondered what he was planning, until he ate all the three materials and like the Etherion & the Flame of Rebuke, absorb the magic power into his body and entered Dragon Force. (Now normally eating other elements will affect a dragon slayers body if he/she eats one different element, but eating three will grant the dragon slayer a triple Dragon Force energy boost at the cost of his/her life.)
"Salamander! What the hell?! Don't you know what happens when you eat other elements?!" Gajeel yelled out questionably.
"Natsu-san! You'll die!" Wendy screamed out with tears flowing.
"It's okay. If sacrificing my life is what it takes to defeat Scylla, get the Dragon's Eye, and restore Lucy's memories, than I'll take the risk." He says while his closing his eyes slowly.
Please hear the song in the top while reading this please.
'Lucy, I wish you remember who I am, but if giving my life up is the only way for you to remember me, then so be it. Lucy, I love you.' Natsu says in his mind with tears streaming down his face. He wipes his tears away and began charging at Scylla.
"Dragon Slayer Magic- Delta Dragon Arts: Crimson Lotus Phoenix Blade!" Natsu yells out before being engulfed in the magic he absorbed and makes contact with Scylla.
"NOOOOOO! AAAAHHHHH! NOT LIKE THIS!" Scylla yells out in pain as the power of the dragon force plus the multiple magic energy emanating from Natsu was too much for her.
'Goodbye. Lucy' was the last thing that Natsu said in his mind for he knew this was the end for him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
-End of Flashback-
He used all the magic he consumed and entered Dragon Force. But using that power while using different elements affected his body and eventually the power was too much. He knew that doing something so reckless might kill him, but he said if that's what it took to get the Dragon'e Eye, then he would risk it. He didn't want to lose you. He didn't want you to love someone else. In your case, you started to fall for Gray. Natsu was heartbroken when Loke and I told him. That's why he asked me to find a way to help you regain your memories, before it was too late. There wasn't anything we could for Natsu. We're so sorry Lucy. We did the best we could to help him, but Wendy's Sky magic couldn't save-"
"NO! YOUR LYING! THERE'S NO WAY HE WOULD DIE LIKE THAT!" Lucy screamed out loud making everyone cringe. After her outburst, Gajeel opened the sack he had on his shoulders earlier, and revealed the fire mages lifeless corpse. Everyone gasped, some of them screaming in horror. He was severely injured, his Fairy Tail mark was gone, he had a huge x-shaped scar on his chest, and his left arm had large cuts. The scarf that Igneel gave him had holes on it and had blood stains on it. His hair was also covered in blood with a few strand of hair still having the pink color that Lucy loved so much. Her eyes filled with tears. She couldn't believe what she was looking at. Natsu. Her boyfriend. The man she fell in love with but forgot. She felt like a knife stabbed her in the heart. Natsu died, just so that Lucy could remember him. Tears streamed down her face as she realized the mistake she almost made. She almost fell in love with Gray. She walked over to Gajeel, knelt next to the corpse, and started crying as she grabbed Natsu and held him in her arms.
-Flashback-
"Do you really want to know who Natsu was to you?" Loke asked.
"Yes. Was he someone important?" Lucy asked.
"Natsu was your boyfriend."
"He was?!"
"Yes, you two were dating but you gave up your memories to save him from dying."
"I see."
"Natsu doesn't want to lose you Lucy but he didn't tell you that he was your boyfriend since you had enough to deal with." said Levy.
"What if I like someone else though?"
"What?! Who?! Gray?!"
"Maybe."
-End of flashback-
'This isn't happening! This isn't happening!' Lucy said in her mind as she remembered what she had said to Loke and Levy.
"No. No. Natsu. Natsu. NATSUUUUUUUUUU!" She screamed to the heavens. Everyone in the guild started crying as well. Some of them glared at Gray with tears pouring down their faces but had eyes full of anger and sadness. They knew that he tried to steal Lucy away from Natsu, and now the ice mage's actions caused the death of the fire mage. Erza walked over to him and slapped him hard in the face, remembering how he wanted to "make things fair" and try to win Lucy's heart.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT YOU ASSHOLE! THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED RIGHT?! NATSU'S DEAD! THINGS ARE FAIR NOW RIGHT?!" The red-head mage screamed with tears of anger and punched Gray in the face, giving him a bloody nose, followed by a kick to the stomach, making the ice mage fall to his knees.
'What have I done?' He asked himself.
