Flames of Anger and Rage

"Shall we interfere?" One of the figures said to the others as they continued to watch Luke, Natsu and Orin running down the hallway.

"Yes, slow them down." Another of the figures stated as one of them held their hand to the right and a portal opened and a figure stepped out of it.

The figure donned black medieval knight armour with a visor that glowed red, it had curved spikes on his shoulders and a sharp long katana like sword attached on the left side of his waist. The spaces between the armour on his body glowed red and the top of his head was shaped like a crown.

"Now, go Vora. Attack them." The figure pointed toward Luke, Orin and Natsu. The figure nodded its head before it was teleported. They then turned back to the vision circle and smirked before they sent some strange smoke-like entity into the portal as well. "Let's see how you deal with this, White Dragon Emperor."

(O)-(O)-(O)

"It's just up ahead, let's go!" Natsu stated. They nodded before increasing their pace, quickly approaching the end of the hallway.

"Natsu, wait!" Luke shouted. Natsu stopped and looked back at Luke in confusion, as well as Orin.

"What is it?"

"Something doesn't feel right, be on your guard!" Luke stated. They became silent as they looked around the area they were in. Suddenly, Orin was kicked from behind and sent skidding across the floor. "Orin!"

"I'm alright! What was that?" Orin wondered. They looked around until their eyes set themselves onto the darkness in front of the wall, out came a figure that looked like a medieval knight.

"Who the heck are you?" Natsu demanded. The figure didn't respond but just drew its sword that was sheathed on their waist, they got into defensive positions as the figure pointed its sword towards them.

"You all will soon be eliminated, that is what the Five Generals command. You shall fall before my hands, for I am Vora, your end." The person now known as Vora claimed. Before they could ask anything, the person charged at them and slashed.

They were all lucky as they managed to all avoid the attack from Vora, as the sword was swung, there was a red light trail that was left behind that slowly went away. They all quickly jumped back and prepared for a fight.

"Hold on, you guys go on ahead, I'll deal with this guy." Orin insisted. Natsu and Luke turned to their cat/dragon friend and had a look of concern. "Don't worry about me, I can deal with this guy."

"Alright, we'll leave it to you, make sure to give him a real beating," Luke stated. Orin nodded his head with determination before Luke turned to Natsu. "Let's go, Natsu!"

"Right!" Both of the boys then left the scene with Orin turning towards Vora who was standing in front of him ready to strike. Unbeknownst to any of them besides Vora, a smoke-like entity had made its way into Luke while he was dodging Vora's attack.

"Alright, Vora. Let's do this!" The clash between them then started.

(O)-(O)-(O)

Luke and Natsu ran down the corridor, they both then arrived in a large chamber-like area, at the centre of the room was a large grey spherical lacrima. They looked at the front and saw Zero standing tall, they both got ready as Zero gave a smirk towards them.

"Fancy seeing you here," Zero stated with a hardy chuckle and a creepy expression on his face. "If you're both here for a fight then, you've both found one."

"I can't wait to beat the living crap out of ya, you're going down." Natsu declared. He honestly felt excited to be facing Zero, considering their situation, as he gave a chuckle as he punched his fist into the palm of his other hand.

"Such confidence and big words for someone so small, I'll just have to teach you a lesson." Zero stated. He then pointed two of his fingers out and aimed at the both of them, the magic began to surge that was the colour dark green. "Dark Capriccio!"

A beam shot towards the both of them as jumped out of the way and Luke rolled to the side avoiding the attack as it made a crater in the ground.

"This power, you can tell that I'm easily twice as strong as Brain was." Zero stated. He then arched his hand as the beam shot out from the ground and struck Natsu. Zero continued to do so as the attack circled around.

"Vanishing Dragons Division Fist!" Zero looked over to see Luke appear beside him with a magic coated fist. Zero crossed both arms in front and skidded across the floor withstanding the powerful punch of Luke.

"You'll both feel the wrath of my power!" Zero shouted. He then extended both arms and moved them as two beams appeared, one chased after Natsu and the other after Luke, the boys kept dodging the endless attacks while still keeping an eye on Zero.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!"

"Vanishing Dragons Division Fist!" Luke and Natsu at the same time, collided their attacks against their respective beams, Luke managed to destroy the attack with a bit of effort as Natsu was pushed back quite a lot from the power behind the attack.

They both had smoke coming off of their bodies, well armour in Luke's case. They both looked up at Zero, Natsu had an enraged expression on as he did, Zero smirked at the both of them in amusement.

"I had honestly not expected for the both of you to be able to stop a piercing spell." Zero stated. Natsu looked up with an expression of anger while Luke put on a deadpan face.

'Oh, I could have done a lot more than that.' Luke thought to himself with his deadpanned expression plastered on his face.

[Ain't that the truth] Albion added.

"Ready, Luke? We're taking him down!" Natsu said. Turning to Luke who nodded and was about to rush at Zero when suddenly they all stopped when a random blast of fire shot at Natsu causing said person to crash to the floor.

"Who's there?" Zero shouted. He turned to see a blue-haired man standing in front of one of the hallways. Luke looked to see a familiar face which he first saw when he had first arrived back at Cait Shelter.

"Jellal!" Natsu yelled. There were clear signs of anger in his voice when he did so, Luke looked back at the said person.

'So, his name's Jellal?'

"So, I assume that your memories have returned?" Zero asked. He had a smirk plastering his face when he had asked. The two adversaries stared each other down with smirks, Jellal turned to Natsu who glared at him with a feral look.

"You shouldn't have come here, Jellal!" Natsu roared. Luke watched as his eyes widened slightly as Natsu ran at Jellal who held a hand up.

"Stop!" Jellal said. Natsu was impacted with the fire but immediately swiped away at it with his arm.

"have you forgotten? Flames don't work on me!"

"I briefly have, but I had remembered just in time," Jellal said keeping his smile. What he said made Zero lose the smirk on his face and causing him to narrow his eyes. "Natsu, you may be the only one that can take down Zero."

'I highly disagree, I demand a redo.' Luke thought to himself with a tick mark behind his head which none of them noticed.

[Yeah! We could take this guy down right now if we wanted to!] Albion roared inside mentally, though Luke could hear it due to them being pretty much connected.

"What was that?" Zero exclaimed. His body had jerked back at the bold statement from the blue-haired man. Natsu had a look of surprise on his face when Jellal said that.

"I may be wrong, but correct me, as a Fire Dragon Slayer, doesn't the fire amplify your power?" Jellal asked. As he slowly brought his hand back to his side.

"Yeah, that's true, but why?" Natsu wondered. He looked at his body which was coated in fire from Jellal's attack.

"That's a lie! By your actions, it had just revealed that your memories were not restored!" Zero accused the man. Jellal frowned at the words.

"I had not lied to you, only the memories of Natsu have returned to me. I am determined to stop Nirvana, and the restoration of my memories will not affect my goal."

"I don't understand, what happened to you?" Natsu wondered.

"When I awoke. My memories had seemed to be completely wiped clean." Jellal answered. Natsu had a shocked expression.

"What!"

"Even though I may not have any recollection of me behaving like a disgrace, it seems that it was the case. I have not only brought harm to you and Erza, but to all of Fairy Tail as well. I want to atone for what I have done and will help in protecting Wendy's guild, I want to put an end to Nirvana, but we must work together!"

"I don't believe you!" Natsu shouted. Natsu had appeared in front of Jellal and punched him across the face. "You're saying that you had forgotten everything you did to us, I'll make you pay if you keep pretending to be on our side!"

"Please listen, Natsu. Just accept the flames that I had given you and move on." Jellal asked. Natsu then lifted him up by the collar as Luke continued to watch from the sidelines not knowing what to do in the situation he had no knowledge about.

"You might have forgotten, but the rest haven't. I still every single thing, I will never forget the fact that you made Erza cry!" Natsu roared. Jellal looked down with an expression of sadness.

(O)-(O)-(O)

In the hallway, Orin was fighting against Vora in a very fast pace fight. They exchanged blow after blow on each other as Orin had to use his scales to block against the sharp sword that his opponent carried.

"Tell me, just who are the Five Generals that you were talking about earlier?" Orin asked as he panted.

"That is something that I don't need to answer nor do you need to know. For that is, your end will come shortly." Vora charged at Orin and swung his sword. Orin used his scaled to knock the sword away and smashed Vora into the ground.

"If you think I'm going that easy, you've got another thing coming!" Orin then unleashed blue fire from his mouth which Vora avoided with a side flip.

"Shadow Slash!" Vora stated. His sword then glowed purple before he swung it as multiple energy slashes shot towards Orin who coated his fist in a blue fire before rapidly destroying them all not noticing Vora appeared behind and kicked him.

"I'll get answers out of you some way or another, for now, I'm going to beat the living crap out of ya!"

(O)-(O)-(O)

"This is pathetic if you are to argue, must you do it in the middle of a battle and most importantly, in front of me?" Zero asked in a condescending tone. He then fired a Dark Capriccio at them. " Enough, stop wasting my time!"

Luke didn't have enough time to react as the beam headed straight at Natsu who didn't notice the attack incoming, Jellal had then zoomed out of Natsu's grasp and held both arms out to protect Natsu. The attack hit Jellal directly and he took it all.

Natsu, as well as Luke, looked at the scene with horrified expressions, after the attack, Jellal was heavily breathing and slowly began to fall being unable to stand since he was too hurt, he then fell to his knees.

"Jellal!" Natsu cried. Jellal looked at the ground looking terribly exhausted, he huffed repeatedly as he used the remaining energy left in his already exhausted body to look at the shocked Natsu.

"Kill me if you will, I'm on my last legs anyway," Jellal said as he looked at Natsu as he looked to be slowly choking.

"Jellal..." Natsu muttered. He didn't know what to feel at the moment, Anger? Confusion perhaps?

"But, before you do, I want you to accept these flames," Jellal stated. He then held out his hand as a golden flame emerged from it and Natsu stared at it in awe, the flames flickered repeatedly in his hand.

"Golden flames?" Natsu had muttered.

(O)-(O)-(O)

"You are a powerful opponent, I respect that. But I think the end of the White Dragon Emperor will soon come." Vora stated.

'White Dragon Emperor? He must mean Luke.' Orin thought before asking. "What do you mean by that? Luke isn't someone that will go down so easily."

"That is why we made countermeasures, I promise you, the White Dragon Emperor's time is nearing its end." Vora declared.

"What the hell are you talking about!" Orin demanded. His teeth showed as he growled at the figure, the figure then chuckled in amusement further angering Orin.

"Only time will tell."
