(Third Person POV)
"Let's go, Erion!" Jason said
Erion let out a deafening roar, releasing a wave of black light as his magic power skyrocketed.
This alerted everyone in the vicinity. They heard and felt the power of the Dragon's roar, the air and ground shaking violently as they could feel the pressure of his magic power.
Down below, Irene looked up with an annoyed look on her face. She was standing in front of a massive group of soldiers that she had rendezvoused with in a short amount of time.
"That damned August...." She growled, "He let Jason get him....Erion wouldn't go back to him if I were up there...."
As she said this, a certain group of mages appeared in front of them.
"Oi!!" Irene turned to see Natsu running up to her, "What's with this one?!"
The Scarlet Despair raised her eyebrow, "Hm?"
Irene watched as Natsu, Gray, and Lucy had stopped in front of her group, several dozen meters away from her.
Lucy widened her eyes, "I-I recognize her!!" She said, "She's the one that took Erion!"
Gray narrowed his eyes, "But Erion is in the air, no?" He said, "Did Jason get him back?"
Natsu was looking up, "Yep, by the smell of it, that's Erion and Jason up there." He said, "His roar is really loud, isn't it..?"
"N-Natsu, focus!!" Lucy exclaimed, "That's a Shield of Spriggan! Her magic power is greater than Brandish's!"
Natsu looked at Irene and began to sniff the air, "Hm...." He said, "You smell familiar....like Erion.....And.....Erza...? You their Mom or something?"
Irene looked at Natsu with a serious expression, "You...." She said, "You bear a striking resemblance to Him.....Hm....Oh....that's right, how could I forget? I mean...It's you...."
Natsu raised an eyebrow, "Eh?" He said
Irene then slammed her staff on the ground and gave them all a serious glare, "Kill them." She ordered her soldiers, "Now."
As she said that, her soldiers immediately charged forwards, making their way to the Fairy Tail Mages.
Gray readied a stance, "Prepare yourselves!" He said, "We're in for a rough one!"
Lucy pulled out her whip, "Natsu!" She said
Natsu smirked, "Oh, I know!" He said as he ran to the front of them and reared his head, "I got this!!"
"Fire Dragon's Roar!!!"
Natsu fired off a massive beam of flames straight ahead, hitting the soldiers and combusting violently. The explosion caused a shockwave that shattered the buildings that were nearby.
Lucy covered her face as this happened while Gray merely winced.
"A bit overkill...." Gray said, "Your Roars are stronger than usual...."
Natsu chuckled as he wiped his mouth, "You think so?" He said, "I've been training a lot!"
Suddenly, the flames dispersed, revealing the majority of the soldiers to be unharmed. Some of them were in fact, scorched completely by the attack, but to Natsu's surprise, the rest were not.
"What?" Gray said
Irene looked at them, "Do you think mere flames will dissuade me?" She said, "Young Dragon, you have much to learn."
Natsu frowned, "What are you saying lady?" He said as he engulfed his fist in flames, "I'll punch you!"
Irene waved her staff and Natsu was hit by an invisible force which sent him flying back.
"Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed
Natsu hit the ground hard, causing a massive shockwave that shattered the ground.
"Gahh!!" He cried out, "What the hell was that?!"
Irene then let out an immense magical pressure that shook the air and gave them all an eerie feeling.
"I am the Mother of Dragon Slayers, boy." Irene said seriously, "Do you think a mere Fire Dragon Slayer will defeat me?"
"You will need your alternate Ego, E.N.D."
*************************************************************
Above in the air, Erion charged up black light in his mouth as he flapped his wings. It was so much black light that even Jason was beginning to get concerned.
"Oi oi..." Jason said, "Erion, that's a bit too much..."
Erion then fired off a massive beam of black light straight at the ship where August and Zeref were at. The beam dwarfed the ship, which was rather threatening and terrifying to the soldiers.
"That's quite concerning." Zeref said
"Not at all." August said
"Aegis of The Outer Lord"
Waving his staff, August deployed a massive barrier that took the form of a glass shield with a metallic rim. Erion's breath attack hit the massive barrier and immediately dispersed, resulting in a massive shockwave. That aside, there was no looming threat to the fleet.
"Well done, August." Zeref said, "You're surely reliable."
"I must do more to earn your kind words." August said, "How about taming that beast again, Your Majesty?"
"Sure." Zeref said with a smirk, "I'll handle his meddling father."
Back to Erion and Jason, the dragon was shaking with nothing but pure anger. Jason noticed this and raised his eyebrows.
"You alright?" He asked him
Erion let out a massive roar yet again and in an instant, flew towards the barrier, striking at it with his claws which were engulfed in the black light.
Like it was nothing, the barrier was shattered which surprised Jason.
"Whoa!" Jason exclaimed as the roaring dragon flew past the broken barrier and towards the fleet, "What the hell?!"
In mere seconds, Erion flew through the ships that surrounded the one Zeref and August was on, destroying them completely. By the second, Jason could feel the rise in Erion's magic power, almost as if he was being fueled by anger.
"Erion!" Jason said as he patted his neck, "Take it easy!"
Erion didn't listen to him; as he flapped his wings and soared in the air, several orbs of black light appeared and instantly fired off in all directions, hitting more ships that were around, instantly destroying them in massive explosions that lit up the sky. The power that the young dragon was displaying was something too much for any ordinary human to behold.
Zeref watched as the Dragon had completely obliterated the ships that were around them in nothing but awe. He was nothing short of speechless.
"Damned beast..." August said, "It appears its power was too much for us to predict.....To think it'll break my barrier with a mere strike.....even if its roar was unable to dent it...."
Zeref chuckled, "Indeed." He said, "I can't believe that dragon came out of Irene.....It's an anomaly....an abomination. If left to roam free, it might prove to be an even greater danger than Acnologia...."
August nodded, "I understand." He said, "We must eradicate it. For the sake of the future."
Zeref said, "Yes." He said, "For the sake of the world."
"The Dragon must die...."
