Natsu's POV

It happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to react.A hand covers my eyes and an arm wraps around my neck. "So we meet again,Natsu." He whispers in my ear. This scent...Zeref!? I grip his arm. Tch why is he here?!

"Hehe so tense,Natsu. Do I scare you that much. " Zeref chuckles as his grip slowly relax. He steps back and I get into my attack stance, busting my fist on flames. "Zeref!"I growl charging towards him. He burst into malicious laughter causing me to stop in confusion. Even my body is telling me to not go near him. I leap back to put distance between us as he placed his hand on his face, only revealing his eye as he stops to look at me. " You're not ready to fight me yet. Natsu you need to get stronger." He grins widely at me. The sight brings shivers down my spine. Is this fear?My hand continues to tremble.

"However. .."he starts.Zeref personality changes to a shy concern one as he looks off to the side. "Will you be you or END by the end of this?" He mutters. For some reason a figure stood behind him with a grin.

"Come on Natsu. You know you need me." A voice echos in my head.  I leap up to dodge Zeref's fist as he suddenly attacks. "Shut up!"I shout landing in a tree.  "So you can dodge me. That's a start. Show me more."Zeref grins as the figure disappears. Standing up I ignore my body and burst my fist in flames.  "Let's go, I'm fired up." I leap towards him and swing my Iron dragon fist.

Zeref grabs my fist. In my shock he throws me through many trees. In mid-air I grab a tree branches and landed on it with a swing. "This guy is as strong as Gildarts. And hard to read."I mutter to myself.  "Natsu!"He calls in a sadistic tone and ends with laughter. "Are you hiding from me? I thought you wanted to kill me?What happened to your fire."he continues walking my way.   I burst my  body into fire and charge towards him. "No I'm right here! "I shout using Fire dragon wing slash with a follow up of Fire Dragon Roar. With that attack, smoke fills the area along with fire blazing through the forest. Zeref walks out from the flames unaffected. WHAT?

"You're starting to have nightmares of the past, aren't you?"he questions looking to the side. He grins seeing my shocked expression. How does he know? Zeref reaches his hand out towards me. "Join me,Natsu." He smiles softly.  He's gotta be kidding right? I stare at him being confused then I snap out of my confusion and burst my body in flames. "Fire dragon's horn sword!"I charge into a headbutt towards him.

However he grabs my head in mid-attack,  stopping me cold. He effortlessly throws me to the side. "I could help you grow stronger. But if you don't want my help, I want to see how you'll fair well with END."he grins. "I'll kill END!Just watch me."I shout as I stop myself from slamming into the trees. He grins once more with insanity in his red eyes. "Then stop playing around and show me your real power."he yells with a swing of his arm.

     -Ping-
My head started to hurt as I grip it. A image painfully flash into my head. I was looking up at a younger version of Zeref.

The image flashes away as soon as it came. I once more force my body up and growl at him. "What did you do to me!?"I shout bursting my arm into flames. The flames roars as it completely surround me. "I didn't do anything. It's you who's resisting. " Zeref grins.

-Ping Pang -
The pain pulses in my head and spread throughout my body til it was paralyzed.  What's happening to me? My body starts to feel heavy as my haze eyesight stare at Zeref walking towards me before going black.

Zeref's POV

Ah Natsu, if only you stop resisting and kill me before I change my mind. Or I'll  just keep you. I walk over to him as he starts to faint;catching him in my arms. "Say hello to END for me."I whisper softly in his ear.

Natsu's POV

I find myself in a white space of nothing. However beyond the blanket of white there's a set of jail cell bars.Huh? Seeing how it's the only thing in sight I make my way toward it. The closer I  got, the more killing intent I could feel. Just what is locked up here?

I finally made it to the bars. "Who's there?" I call out sensing a familiar scent. In the darkness of the cage, I could see the shiny from sets of fangs. "So you finally make a visit, huh Natsu?" A voice sounding almost like me answers back. He knows my name?  I started asking,"Who are you and how do you know my name?" He replies with a chuckle. "You should be more concerned with who's controlling our body right now." The figure on the cage points outward towards a screen of...Zeref grinning? Is this my point of view? There was a roar in my voice.Whats going on?!

The figure in the cage walks towards the bars. "I'm taking control for now. Just sit back and I'll kill Zeref for you." What? He steps out from the cage and in a quick motion throws me in, locking me inside. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"I shout gripping the bars, trying to break free.
