3 Reunion

After Zeref calmed down, Cram explained his reason for wanting to destroy the E.N.D., Zeref got surprised when he heard it was so he could liberate the Salamander from having Demonic tendencies, have full control of his power, and remember his previous memories.

Meaning, Natsu would remember his older brother.

However, Zeref had his doubts because it was near-impossible to destroy E.N.D.'s demonic nature.

"How do you plan on removing E.N.D.'s demonic nature?" asked Zeref.

"Like this" said Cram as he took out Yamato and injected Zeref with his Aura. Zeref was startled by his actions, but before he could do anything to defend himself Cram had already used judgement cut on Zeref.

"Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhhhh!!!!" shouted Zeref as a cursed black aura was sipping out of him. A few minutes later, he calmed down. But still felt a little sore.

"W-what ddid y-you do?" asked Zeref, because he could feel the curse of Ankhseram being removed.

"Simple lobotomy, using my aura I could feel the irregularities in your body. I found a lot of black magic concentrated in a small part of your brain. So I vibrated and used Yamato to faze through your body and cut that black thing out and absorbed it into Yamato. Your body has now stabilized and you should have full control of your powers. But be warned, you are no longer immortal." said Cram as he made it seem like he had done something simple.

"You mean I could finally die?" asked Zeref in disbelief. His curse that has hunted him for 400 years was gone just like that.

"Yeah, but don't get any ideas of dying any time soon. You still need to atone for your sins as well as be a big brother to Natsu. Oh, and your still partly immortal because you still have eternal youth. (Lucky Bastard)" said Cram.

"This is a lot to take in, but how does that explain the removal of Ankhseram's curse?" asked Zeref.

"Well, humans only use 10 percent of their brain. That concentrated aura we found in you unlocked another 40 percent more of your brain removing certain limiters on your body. Although I'm not perfectly sure, I'm guessing that 40% of your brain gave you abilities like immediate regeneration, black magic affinity, Curse magic affinity, and pseudo immortality. But your condition wasn't stable, because of that black thing in your head. That's why you sometimes leak that deathly aura and get certain urges to annihilate everything in sight. This condition wasn't by accident either, someone or something purposely did this. I'm guessing it was-

"Ankhseram" said Zeref cutting off Cram's explaination.

"Exactly" said Cram.

"But, how do you know all of this? And why did you help me?" asked Zeref.

Cram froze in his place and begun to think of excuses. Then when he formed a simple story he said to Zeref "A prophet from the Song continent named "Magna Amine"(Manga Anime) foretold your story and he said that if you aren't stopped, the whole of Ishgar will fall, and you'd set your sights at Song continent next" [A/N: The bullsh*t is strong in this one]

"I see, so your from the Song continent" said Zeref partly convinced as he knew so little about continent.

"You could say that" vaguely said Cram.

"Who knew such a powerful prophet resided in that continent, I would like to meet her if I had the chance" said Zeref.

"Well you can't" said Cram while sweating.

"Why not?" asked Zeref curiously.

"Because, uhm- he's dead" said Cram.

"He's dead?" asked Zeref a little suspicious of Cram.

"Ah Yeah, that's right he's dead. The prophecy about you was the last thing he foretold" said Cram acting a little sad.

Hmmm. Zeref stared at Cram rather suspiciously, but dismissed asking more questions. The fact that he had helped him with his curse gave Zeref a little confidence and trust towards his words.

"Well ok, but what now?" asked Zeref.

"We have to find the book of E.N.D. and use the same method to remove his demonic tendencies. Oh, but before that let's go and meet your wife. I need to ask both of you a favor" said Cram before he walked towards the direction of the first Fairy Tail's Guild master grave.

"Wife? Hmmm? Mavis!!" exclaimed Zeref before he hurriedly followed Cram.

*********

At Mavis's Grave;

"That's not the real grave of Mavis" said Zeref to Cram who was starring at the gravestone of the first Fairy Tail Guild master.

"I know" said Cram before he took Rebellion off his back and channeled his aura into it. Rebellion awakened and a sinister aura engulfed Cram. Then after a few seconds, it calmed down and looked just like an ordinary sword.

At first Zeref looked at Cram's actions questioningly, but then felt another presence besides Cram. When rebellion awakened, the magic power in the area fluctuated a little revealing the figure of a cute, innocent looking, blonde little girl besides them. But don't be fooled by her innocence as this little girl was no pushover. She suddenly exuded a strong pressure towards the two.

"Who are you and why have you come to this place!?" asked Mavis then he heard a familiar voice calling her name "Mavis? Mavis Vermilion, Is that really you?" said Zeref in disbelief.

Mavis saw the figure of the man he loved and suddenly a tear strolled down her eyes. The pressure she exuded was gone, replacing it with a confused but happy look on her face.

Zeref ran towards Mavis and tried to hug her, but he failed as he only went through.

"MAVIS!!! huh!? why can't I hold you" said Zeref desperately as he tried and tried to hold her.

Although, he knew this Mavis was but a fraction of her spirit since she was currently trapped in Fairy Heart. Zeref still desperately tried to hug her, as he had missed her too much.

Ever since Ankhseram's curse was lifted. Zeref begun to feel more emotional. Seeing his lover in front of him, Zeref was flooded with so much emotion that it deviated his reasoning and logic as he so desperately wanted to hug Mavis.

Mavis had also missed Zeref quite dearly and seeing him desperately trying to hold her made her happy that she begun to cry, but that was only for a few seconds as she begun to copy Zeref and tried to hug him. While shouting "Zeref!". She even tried to make herself tangible using magic, but still failed as she was but a fraction of the real Mavis spirit.

Seeing the pitiful look on both Mavis and Zeref, Cram smiled wryly then took out Pandora. Pandora originally had 666 forms as said in the DMC lore, so during Cram's 6 months of training he tried to unlock a few of them, sometimes he succeeded and sometimes Pandora would change it's form on it's own when facing different kinds of magical beasts.

Like when he came upon an intangible magical beast called Wraith, Pandora begun to change it's form on it's own and turned into a morning star. At first Cram questioned the effectiveness of a melee weapon against a ghost, but when he tried to bash the Wraith with it, the wraith got sent flying into oblivion.

Form #198: Ghost Basher

The suit case begun to compress it's form and changed into an appearance of a Morning Star.

"Zeref, catch" said Cram as he threw the ominous weapon towards Zeref.

Zeref caught the morning star reflexively and felt a vague power entering him. He had a questioning look on his face, then he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his belly. He looked down and saw Mavis clinging to him.

All his thoughts ceased and immediately returned the hug of Mavis, he even cried a few tears of joy. He sent a thankful gaze towards Cram and enjoyed the sensation of his lovers warmth.

Seeing the happy reunion of the two, Cram read the mood and gave the two some privacy.
