My Final Prayer

In the rubble of what was once the magic council sprouting out of the dust, Cosmos stood looking over the destruction, feeling her hair wave in the wind. 
"Is everyone okay." She said.
"Lady Cosmos." Org said.
"We should be glad that two of the wizard saints were here." Belno said as she was released from Makarov's grip. "I shudder to think what would have happened if they weren't here."
"I agree." Michello added.
"Siegrain and Ultear, what happened to them?" Leiji asked.
"Siegrain played us for fools." Yajima said.
"I tried to grab that Ultear woman." Cosmos said, still overlooking the damage. "But my plants." She motioned to where a group of withered plants lay. 
"They're dead." She muttered, looking around. "Was it the same magic she used to destroy the council chamber?"
"Never mind that." Makarov said. "We need to see to the injured child." She nodded as she lowered her plants to the ground, slowly stepping off. She looked around. 
'Was this his plan? I wonder.' Makarov thought as he watched the magic council member begin to look for more survivors. "You did good work here, young one."
"But the building was destroyed."
"It can be rebuilt." Makarov told her. "But remember, you saved a great many lives here." He looked to the sky. 'Erza, she had warned me about him when they had first met; I hoped she was all right.'
"You think they're okay up there?" Lucy asked. She was concerned about her friends, hoping both were okay.
"There are two of the strongest wizards I know." Happy said. "They can handle this. I know it."
"He's right." Gray said. 
"Since we can't help them, all we can do is wait." Gray said as he put a hand on Lucy.
Natsu and Jellal glared at the magic energy around the increase by their presence in the tower. 
'So he was holding back.' Jellal thought to himself.
----[##Haja no Sen Kaze Ost##]
----"what's the matter." Natsu mused, "I thought you wanted me to go all out."
"I've had enough of you!" Jellal shouted, "this is where your story ends, Natsu Dragneel."
"Well, if that's what you want." Natsu told him. "Then come and show me what you got."
Jellal shot another blast at Natsu, who jumped out of the way. 
"Too slow." Natsu called to the man as he jumped up. "Now I got you." Jellal sent another blast sending Nasu back; he smiled as he held onto the blast.
----My final prayer
----in the corner, Erza started coming as the smoke entered her face. She looked as if Natsu and Jellal were there to fight. 
"Natsu." Erza called as Natsu stood up.
"What's the matter." Natsu called out to the man. "So worried about wrecking your precious tower that you're not going to go all out!" Natsu shouted at the man. "That ain't going to work against me."
"Shut your mouth." Jellal told him as he blasted Natsu again, only for the boy to jump up.
"Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!" Natsu called out before sending a giant fireball into the tower, destroying more of it.
"He's aiming for the tower." Erza asked as Natsu landed on the ground letting out heavy breaths Jellal was beyond furious.
"I waited too long." He said. "I won't let some punk destroy all my hard work."
"Tough break." Natsu said as he let out several breaths.
"Be careful, Natsu." Erza said. "You barely have the strength to stand."
"You'll pay." Jellal called out as he gathered a large amount of magic energy, causing the dust in the tower to move toward him.
Erza looked up. 
"Huh." Erza saw her shadow heading towards the light. "Why is my shadow going towards the light." She looked up, "Oh no, that spell."
"This is the end for you, Salamander."
"No." Erza called, jumping between Natsu and Jellal, who stopped his spell. "You wouldn't want to lose your sacrifice."
"That would be a problem." Jellal told her. "However, the ceremony requires someone comparable in strength to the ten wizard saints." Jellal smiled. "You're not the only person who fits that description; I'll worry about that after I kill both of you!" Jellal shouted as he started his spell again.
"Erza." Natsu called. "Get out of the way."
Erza shook her head. 
"I'm the reason you're in this mess in the first place." Erza told him. "The least I can do is make sure you're safe."
Jellal smiled. "Heavenly Body Magic: Altaris." Jellal launched the attack at Erza, who tried to guard herself, only for someone else to jump in the way of the blast, which sent an explosion around the pair.
Sho gripped his heart in the water bubble. 
"What's wrong, Sho."
"I don't know." He admitted. He looked at the tower. "But I think something bad just happened."
----[##Tsuioku Mezameru Tamashii Ost##]
----Erza and Natsu starred in Horror as Simon stood before them; his mask was half broken, and blood covered his clothes as he fell over.
"Simon." Erza called out.
"I thought you were still lurking in my tower. You despicable pest." Jellal called out.
"You were supposed to leave the tower." Erza told him as she rushed to her friend, who let out a cough in pain.
"I couldn't." He admitted as he tried to move, only for Erza to stop him.
"Don't move." She said as she held him. "Simon, everything's going to be okay."
Simon smiled before letting out another cough. Before he looked at Erza, he wiped a tear from her face as he smiled. 
"You were the only person who could make me smile." He told her.
"No, don't die, Simon." Erza said as Simon looked at her, an image of a younger Erza appearing before him as tears formed in his eyes.
"I just." He let out another violent cough. "That I always loved you." He said before his hand fell to the ground and he closed his eyes.
Erza had a look of shock in her eyes as Simone's body stopped moving. Natsu had to step back as Erza screamed. 
"Simon!" She called, a tear falling from her eye. "No!" Ahe shouted as Jellal started to laugh.
"What a fool." He said. "He gave his life trying to save you, but he should have realized I am not going to let either of you leave this place alive."
Before Jellal could finish his sentence, Natsu punched him in the face.
----[##dragon slayer theme ost##]
----"Shut up!" He shouted before coming to a stop. He was breathing was heavy. His eyes were angry as the magic energy in the air went into his body. Natsu picked up a piece of the lacrima and ate it before attacking Jellal again.
Jellal had to jump back in shock. 
"He's eating the ethernano from the Etherion blast." Jellal said in amazement. "Is he insane?"
Natsu tried to move before letting out a violent cough. 
"Natsu." Erza called out. "How could you be so stupid? Ethernano is made from elemental magic; it'll poison you."
Jellal laughed. 
"Well, it certainly makes my job easier if he kills himself." Jellal said. Natsu then let out a wave of magic power as the ether-nano around him turned into a fire dragon-shape around his body scales started to grow on Natsu as the fire surrounded him. 
"Impossible, his body could absorb the ethernano." Jellal said in shock.
Natsu let out a growl before he charged at Jellal, punching him into the ground. 
"You made Erza cry!" he shouted as he slammed him through the floor. "And I'm not going to let you get away with that!" Natsu shouted as he fell through the tower. "I made a promise, and I'm sure as hell going to keep it."
"Natsu, promise me you'll take care of her." Simon's words rang through Natsu's head.
"Touch her again, and I'll kill you!" Natsu shouted at Jellal.
"Your threats don't scare me!" Jellal shouted. "Meteor." Jellal shot from Natsu's hand and laughed. "You'll never catch me at this rate and speed." Natsu stopped and caught himself on a ledge. He shut himself up for a moment. He punched Jellal, making the man spit out blood. The two shot back up to the top of the tower. 
"I won't lose!" Jellal shouted as he kicked Natsu back.
"I'm destined to create a land of freedom!" Jellal shouted. 
"There is a reason; I'm the only one who can sense lord Zerefs presence. I am the chosen one." Jellal told Natsu. "Once he's been resurrected, we'll work together to create a truly free world."
"You're going to do that!" Natsu shouted back. "By taking everyone else's rights in the world."
"If that's what must be done to change things!" Jellal shouted as he continued to attack Natsu. 
"I could care less about what happens to feeble-minded people like you." He called as he summoned a large magic circle.
"He's casting the Abyss Break." Erza said. 
"But why." Erza shouted. "You'll destroy the tower; so many died to create it."
"You fools." Jellal said. "Since it's been done, I can make another in half the time." Jellal shouted before a gash opened on his side. "What the." Jellal then remembered when Erza cut him with her sword. "Damn it."
----[##the last magic theme##
----"You'll never know what it means to be free!" Natsu shouted as fire consumed him again. He shot toward Jellal. 
"Not as long as that spirit is controlling you!" Natsu shouted as he formed a dragon. "You can do it, Jellal. Free yourself." Natsu then punched Jellal into the tower, causing a chain of explosions that could be seen outside.
"Was that another explosion?" Sho asked.
"No way." Happy said. "that's got to be Natsu."
"He must be fighting someone." Lucy said. "I hope he's okay."
"No way to tell." Gray said. "But it looks like he's going on a major rampage."
Jellal landed on the ground, defeated his wizard saint badge clicking on the ground. Natsu landed on the ground, standing tall as Erza smiled. 
"So that's his true power." Erza said. "The true form of the dragon slayer."
----[##fairy tail main theme slow ver ost##]
Erza smiled as Natsu stood before her; he turned back and smiled at her. As she smiled back. 'It's all finally over.' Erza said. 'Now Sho, Wally, and Millianna are truly free.'
Nasu tumbled to the ground as Erza rushed to her friend. 
"Natsu!" She shouted as she grabbed him. 
"Thank you." She said as Natsu's scales started to disappear. "For everything." The moment was short-lived when the tower began to shake and fall apart.
"Wow, pretty." Millianna mused.
"This is bad news."
"The ethernano in that thing must be growing unstable." Gray said.
"What's that?" Lucy asked, scarred.
"Yes, that much ethernano from an etherion blast shouldn't be held in one place." Juvia said.
"It's going to keep building until it explodes!" Happy shouted.
"What?" Wally asked in shock. 
"Then we'd better start making tracks. Or we're done for!" Wally shouted.
"If that thing explodes." Gray said. "We're all done for."
----Erza picked up Natsu before she could run. She looked back at Simon's lifeless body as it slid off the edge. 
"Goodbye, Simon." Erza said as she ran off the tower, which began to crack and explode at every turn knocking the pair down.
"Damn it." Erza said. "All this magic energy." Erza looked around. "Even if we escaped the tower, we'd still be caught up in the blast."
Erza looked around. 
"Think." As she looked towards Natsu, "Now it's my turn to save you."
Erza looked around. "If I can't contain the blast or stop it." Erza stopped when Jellal's words rang through her head. "Your body will fuse with magic energy and break down to form Zeref's body."
"Maybe." Erza looked at the Lacrima. 
"I have no choice." Erza said as she placed her hand in the expanding magic energy. As she went, she let out a sigh. "I was afraid it would reject me; this is a risk I must take."
Natsu came too and saw Erza trying to merge with the Lacrima. "Erza, what are you doing."
"Natsu." Erza said as she looked at him before smiling.
"What's going on?" Natsu asked. "Are you trying to go back in that thing?" Natsu asked as the tower shook again.
"Now you see." Erza said. 
"The magic energy in the tower is growing too large." Erza explained. "But I can stop it if I fuse with it."
What? No." Natsu got to try to stop her but fell. "There has to be another way."
Erza smiled before looking at Natsu. 
"Before I met you." Erza explained, "I was cold and distant from everyone." she looked back. "But you, Gray, Lucy, and Happy, you made me feel like I was part of a family again." Erza smiled. "If I never met any of you, I probably wouldn't be standing here today." Erza smiled as she went into the Lacrima. 
"I can't thank any of you enough." She smiled. "So from the bottom of my heart." She smiled. 
"Thank you Natsu." She smiled. 
"Thank you." She said as a tear appeared on her face.
"For giving me a family again."
"Erza, no!" Natsu shouted as the Lacrima consumed Erza, her body disappearing in ample light as the tower began to glow.
"On no." Wally shouted. "It's going to blow."
"NO, look!" Gray shouted as the tower shot a beam into the sky. "The magic energy is being shot into the sky."
A giant blast shot from the tower sending the group away in the waves as the building exploded. 
"Where's the tower!" Sho shouted. "It was there a minute ago."
"No." Lucy said. 
"Natsu, Erza, where are you." Lucy called as smoke left the area.
Flashback
Erza stood with Porlyusica as she removed the bandage around her face. Behind her was Makarov. He smiled as the healing wizard showed her a mirror.
Erza jumped back in shock. 
"My eye." Erza said. "I don't know what to say." Erza said as a tear left her eye.
"What." Porlyusica said. "I must have done something wrong."
"No, it's okay." Erza said. "I've probably cause I've cried so much." Erza said, smiling, "That I have no more tears to shed."
Porlyusica sighed as she turned to Makarov. 
"So, is this another for Mavis?" She asked.
"No." Makarov said. "The little girl wants to see the world."
Porlyusica turned and looked at her. "I see, and where did you find her."
"Out on the road." Makarov informed her. "She knew Rob."
"Our Rob." Porlyusica asked. "Where is he now?"
"Dead." Makarov said as Porlyusica stepped back and looked at the girl one last time.
End flashback
Erza floated down. She had no idea where she was. She looked around. "Where am I?"
