Chapter Sixteen: Master E.N.D.

    "What're you doin' here?!" Jackal snapped, emerging from the shadows. "Haven't you done enough already? Destroying our headquarters and demolishing our plans! Makin' us live on this fuckin' island with a bunch a retards!?"

    "Wait, Jackal," Torafuzar said, stepping up to stop Jackal before he could lunge at the fire demon before him. "Couldn't you read those words on his chest? It's him. It's our-"

    "Ya think I don't bloody know that?!" Jackal pushed Torafuzar off him and marched over to Natsu, pushing him roughly on the chest. "I knew I recognized you, I knew that scent and I knew that face anywhere! You were actin' so outta character that I- we didn't recognize you! Why the hell did you go against us, MASTER?!"

    "I'm sorry, Jackal. It was because I didn't--" The bomb Jackal set on his chest exploded and Natsu felt the force but didn't move from his spot. He brushed off his chest, grateful to have fire-proof skin and scales in his etherious form. "It was because I didn't recognize you."

    "OH SO YOU GOT AMNEISA NOW?!"

    "Jackal control yourself!" Seialh yelled, rushing over to grab the demon by the collar before he could lunge at Natsu again. She turned her dark, cold eyes to their master. "Though I will agree with you here that our 'maser' is better off leaving now. None of us want to see his face and we all want to demolish it. If he knew what was best he'd leave now."

    "Unfortunately, Seilah, I came with reason and I don't intend on leaving so quickly," Natsu said, the whites of his eyes fading to black, his hazel irises quickly turned red. His voice had changed so quickly, from friendly and understanding to straight up venomous and full of authority that Zaura began wondering if the funny, oblivious dragon slayer had split personality disorder. Natsu dropped the backpack and took out the contents within it. All their books were there, including remakes of some of the fallen demons and a golden scroll.

    "What is this?" Torafuzar asked, he bent over and picked up his book.

    "Just how much power did it take to make these?" Franmalth gasped, greedily scooping up each book in his hand. "Just how much? How much?"

    "Be careful with them, they're hard to make ya know," Natsu said. "Those books you see before you are your life sources, they directly link us to our master, Zeref, and provide us with life. Now now, I have some explaining to do so I will make it short and sweet. Igneel used a secret form of diversion magic to seal my etherious soul into the book of E.N.D., leaving me to live without my memories and power to live under the impression of being a human boy named Natsu Dragneel. I did not recieve my memories until six years ago, I lived with Fairy Tail because I still believed them to be my family. I left them to make you this offer."

    "What is it?" Seilah asked. A devious smile crept up Natsu's lips.

    "Rumor has it that there's a portal to the underworld here. You will lead me to it and in return I will allow you four to come with us to find our master, Zeref."

    "You know where he is?" Jackal demanded, his pout turning into fascination.

    "Absolutely, and I will lead you all to him once I retrieve the souls of our fallen brethren."

     The demons considered their options before nodding to their master.

    "Now then, lead the way."
