Third-person POV: 

The light of the FAIRY TAIL, Natsu Dragneel has died, he will always remain with us for he lives in our hearts. 

.....

Location: Ankhseram's castle. 

"My lord", says Pluto, the God of Death. 

"Pluto", he says.

"Neptune and Venus have been defeated by Juvia Lockser and Lucy Heartfilia, E.N.D was defeated by Gray Fullbuster, everything is going according to plan", said Pluto.

"Good, what of Gajeel Redfox?", asked Ankhseram. 

"I will personally deal with him myself", says Pluto.

"Good, in order for the prophecy to come to fruition, the wizard Gajeel must die, he is the reason for this war after all", said Ankhseram. 

"I will see to it that he falls my lord", said Pluto.

"And what of Levi McGarden?", he asks.

"I will protect Levi McGarden", said Pluto.

"Good, she must not be harmed, this battle will soon come to an end and after this, we will prepare for the final war, find Gajeel and kill him immediately", said Ankhseram.

Location: The Misty Graveyard:

Team: Gajeel, Levi, Jet, Droy, Pantherlily, Rogue, and Frosch.

"I just got a chill", said Levi. 

"Someone is approaching, be on guard", said Rogue.

It all happened in an instant. Gajeel fell to the ground as a sinister shadow crept up, there he was standing next to us.

"Gajeel!", screamed Levi.

"I am Pluto, the God of Death", says Pluto. 

"Be on guard", said Lily. 

........

Location: The Great Prison, Erza's cell. 

Erza's P.O.V

"Natsu's magic power has vanished", I say to myself as the cell door opened. 

It was him, the swordsman from before, Aster Knightwalker. 

"A swordsman", I say.

"You don't recognize me sister?", he asks. 

"Sister? You, you're Irene's firstborn", I say.

"Shouldn't you refer to her as mother", he says.

"I sense no magic power coming from you", I say.

"Go", he says to me. 

"You're letting me go? Why?", I ask.

"I've received orders from our father to release you, seem's our mother traded herself for you", he explains.

"Our father? My only father is Makarov", I say to him.

"Let's go, we're meeting them in the training arena", he says.

"Undo these chains", I say to him. 

"Not yet, when the trade is done, then I'll undo them", he says as I follow him.

Irene, what are you planning? Knowing you, you have a plan in mind, you wouldn't just let yourself be captured like that.

I followed him to the meeting point, it was a fighting arena, were we about to fight? I see, Jellal, Irene, Kagura, Simon, Millianna, Sho, Wally, Grandpa Rob, and Simon waiting.

"Er-chan!", yelled Millianna.

"You guys, what are you all doing here?", I say in shock. 

"Erza", says Simon.

"Simon", I say with tears in my eyes as a hundred guards surrounded us. 

"Azra, what is this?", says Irene.

"You didn't think I'd let Erza go some easily did you? If you want her, you must defeat us all, prepare for battle Earthland wizard", says Azra. 

My body then went numb. This was your magic, wasn't it?

"Sho", I say.

Sho trapped me in one of his cards, brilliant. If I'm trapped in his card, my card goes straight to him. I'll be free.

"Reanimate", says Sho as he freed me from his card.

Jellal then broke the chains that were sealing my magic.

-Requip: Purgatory Armor - I yell. 

"We'll handle the guards, you and Irene can take on Aster and Azra", said Jellal.

"Mother and daughter versus father and son huh, a family affair indeed", said Irene. 

"I don't sense any magic power coming from Aster, is he a swordsman?", I ask.

"Aster possesses my magic, he's an enchanter but he hides his magic and magic power with the illusion of a sword, from what I see, he's ashamed to have the same magic as me, his mother", said Irene.

"Does that mean Azra uses Requip?", I ask. 

"Yes, he created that type of magic, he can also cancel your Requip", says Irene. 

"That's why my magic had no effect on him", I say.

"Yes, you're a bad match for him, I'll fight him, you take on your brother", says Irene. 

"We're not family", yelled Aster as he swung his sword at me.

His sword collided with my armor, cracking it.

"You broke my armor", I say in shock.

"I enchanted my blade with my father's Requp nullification magic", says Aster. 

"No way, if only Wendy was here, she could have reinforced my armor", I say.

"That tiny little dragonslayer?", said Irene.

"Wait", I say as I look at her.

~Enchant Erza's armor: Reinforce~ says Irene as I started glowing. 

~Requip: Heavens Wheel Armor- I say. 

~Pentagram Sword~ I yell hitting Aster, sending him flying into the air.

Look's like all Aster has going for him is Enchant, he can't use a sword.

"You're trying to be your father, why?", I ask.

"What do you mean?", asked Aster.

"From what I've gathered, you have our mother's magic but you don't like using it, it's because our father scolds you for using it", I say.

"You don't know anything about me!", he yelled as he punched me across the face.

"Look's like you hit the nail in the coffin then", says Irene. 

"Embrace who you are, don't be who your father wants you to be", I say to him. 

"You don't know me!", he yelled.

"You are my brother", I say as I look him in the eyes.

That enraged him more, he finally released his magic power, he had a huge reserve of magic power.

"You want to see my power so bad? Then I'll show you sister", he laughed.

"Erza! Get away!", screamed Irene as he transformed. 

"I am the Ruby Dragon! Aster Knightwalker", he says enraged.
