        It took three days for the ash and soot to clear. Not knowing if the battle still raged, if we won, if we lost. The only safe place was the guilds basement but it's been three days since the ground stopped shaking. There are many injuries but no deaths. yet. The only ones not accounted for was Natau and Lucy. Of course he took the job of riding this world of the wicked Dragon. Acnologia and Zerif, but Lucy couldn't help yourself, she went after him and we haven't seen them since.
       Erza, Gray and Gajeel where the first ones to make their way out, after a few moments they motioned for the rest of us to follow. When we merged from our underground prison all that could be seen with complete destruction. There wasn't a single building standing the only thing still standing was the magnolia tree standing in the center of Magnolia. It was pretty far but we could see in the distance there was something read with massive wings. It was bloody body, but behind the tree we all knew what it was it was the body of Acnologia, The black dragon. Everyone froze  they almost started to Cheer but the figure in front of the tree started to move. It was caring something, As it got closer the guild soon realized it was Natsu and Lucy. Wendy was the first to react running up to try and heal Lucy.  Natsu fell back to his knees "it's over" was all not you could choke out.
         Erza got down to Natsus level and placed her hand on his shoulder "we are all so proud of you Natsu".
           "no..... this is all my fault", he gestured to the destroyed town and the Guildhall and the girl in his arms. "just look at me, aren't you afraid of me, because I am. I'm afraid of myself, I don't even think I'm human anymore. Part dragon part demon. I let him get to me I let him take control". A small tear rolled down his face
            "She is still alive, YOU kept her alive" it was Wendy who spoke. When she was done she hugged him her face coming close to his ear and whispered "They. Are both going to be just fine", she pulled away and look into his eyes his firm but gentle eyes. This war has brought too much pain and suffering and now it was over. Its all finally over.

           "i'm sorry I went a little overboard this time" everyone laughed.
            Then Ultear stepped up "I think I can handle it",and within minutes the town was back to normal.
           "The townspeople evacuated two weeks ago. We need to find them and bring them back but let's get home", Master spoke to the guild.
           Natsu started getting up buddy immediately collapse back to the ground "I can't seem to get back up" Gray stepped in and quickly took her from him before he would collapse. but before he could walk away Natsu grab Gray's shirt "Please make sure she's okay".
Before passing out from exhaustion.
           "You did good Natsu, promise I'll take care of her" Gray turned to Gajeel and Laxus "Will you help Natsu to the infirmary", they nodded picking up the dragonslayer and caring him off and to the guild infirmary.
            "Grays got Lucy everyone else who's not busy tending to the wounded help dispose of that Dragon before the town sees it" Master yelled and everyone quickly got to work.
