We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima
Lucy: *Lucy and Mira teleport into Lucy and Natsu's bedroom*
Layla: *surprised*
Ryuu: Hello, miss Mira
Layla: hello Mira
Mira: Hello you two
Layla: can you please help daddy Mira
Mira: *smiles* I'll do what I can. *turns to Lucy* so what's the problem?
Lucy: he has a high temperature, he's having trouble staying conscious and he has trouble standing
Mira: *walks up to Natsu* Natsu can you hear me
Natsu: *opens his eyes slightly and she can see they're dull in colour*
Mira: *shocked. She reaches to tell Natsu's temperature but she is stopped by the heat radiating off his body. She pulls back* that isn't any ordinary fever *turns to Lucy* he needs to be keep in bed until this can be sorted out
Ryuu: But... How is daddy gonna go on missions?
Mira: he won't be able to go on missions
*the temperature in the room slowly starts rising, and Natsu starts losing consciousness*
Layla: *runs to Natsu and holds his hand shocking Mira that she can't stand that close yet alone hold his hand. The temperature decreases* daddy! wake up daddy!
Natsu: *opens his eyes slightly and looks at Layla. His eyes start flickering rapidly again*
Layla: *starts crying* daddy!
Ryuu: *clings on to Lucy's dress*
Lucy: *pulls Ryuu closer* it's okay Ryuu, I'm not going to let anything happen to your father
Ryuu: Miss Mira, can you do something?
Mira: I'm not sure Ryuu, I've never seen this before
Ryuu: *his eyes start watering*
Lucy: Ryuu stay with Mira *Ryuu lets go of Lucy's dress, Lucy walks over to Layla and Natsu* Layla, I'm going to help your father
Layla: *tears stain her face* okay mama *she stands back*
Lucy: *uses her magic to heal her hands which works, the flames burn the bandages off. she places her hands on either side of Natsu's face and kisses him. She absorbs the heat and pain from Natsu*
Natsu: *a small amount of colour returns to his skin and his eyes focus a little more*
Lucy: *she keeps absorbing his pain and the heat. tears form in her eyes and drip onto Natsu's face*
Natsu: *his eyes close and he loses consciousness*
Lucy: *pulls back breathing heavily*
Layla: mama what just happened
Mira: *approaches Lucy and places a hand on her shoulder* Are you okay? You haven't had to do that for him in a while
Lucy: *clutches her head. Still breathing heavily* I'll be fine, can you look after the kids I'm just going outside for some air *heads for the backyard*
Mira: Sure. Layla, Ryuu. Come on, I'll make you some breakfast
Layla: okay
Ryuu: *nods, his hand clutching Mira's dress and a worried expression on his face*
Lucy: *walks outside and lays down on the garden bench. her breathing is heavy and she starts feeling hot*
Zeref: Sister, why would you do something so foolish?
Lucy: *frowns* because I care about him. And why would you care
Zeref: Because I care about you and my niece and nephew of course
Lucy: *she sits up and starts glowing white. she glares at Zeref* I told you to leave my family alone
Zeref: I haven't done anything to your family
Lucy: just because you haven't done anything yet doesn't mean you won't do anything in the future
Zeref: *sighs* It appears there is no persuading you of the opposite is there? Must you take my little brother's word on everything?
Lucy: *her expression softens* I just want my family to be safe
Zeref: *suddenly appears directly in front of Lucy, and pulls her into a kiss*
Lucy: *shocked. She tries to pull away from Zeref but he deepens the kiss*
Ryuu: M..mama?
Lucy: *tries to push Zeref away again*
Zeref: *pulls away* Until next time, sister *disappears in a cloud of black smoke
Lucy: *collapses to her knee. Her lips are sore from the forced kiss*
Ryuu: *runs up to Lucy* Mama!
Lucy: *looks at Ryuu, her eyes are clouded*
Layla: *walks out with Mira* mama! *runs up to Lucy*
Ryuu: *starts crying* M..Mama?
Layla: Mira, what's wrong with mama?
Mira: *walks up to Lucy and slaps her, jolting her out of it*
Lucy: *put a hand up to her red cheek* Mira?
Mira: Lucy, what happened?
Lucy: I'll tell you in private *she hugs Ryuu* it's alright Ryuu, I'm okay
Ryuu: *starts crying into Lucy's shoulder*
Lucy: *rubs him back with one hand and places the other hand on the back of his head* shhh, everything's to be okay
Mira: You had them worried, Ryuu ran out to get you for breakfast
Lucy: I'm sorry for worrying you. Why don't we go have breakfast
Ryuu: *still crying into her shoulder*
Lucy: *pats the back of Ryuu's head* let it all out, I'm here
Mira: *turns to Layla* Come on, you and I can get everything ready
Layla: okay *walks inside then glance back at Lucy and Ryuu. she walks into the kitchen*
*later that day*
*Ryuu and Layla are outside playing while Lucy and Mira are in the kitchen talking*
Mira: So? Tell me what happened
Lucy: *drinks her tea, trying to get rid of the taste of Zeref out of her mouth. She places her cup down* Zeref showed up again
Mira: *gasps*
Lucy: *drinks some more tea, the taste doesn't seem to fade*
Mira: Did... did he do anything?
Lucy: he spoke to me, then.. *swallows* he kissed me
*suddenly steam starts coming from Lucy's cup*
Lucy: huh?
Natsu: *standing in the doorway to the kitchen breathing heavily* What!?
Lucy: *feels ashamed. She looks down into her now empty cup*
Mira: *walks up to Natsu* Natsu, you shouldn't be out of bed
Lucy: *tears pour down her face* he kissed me
Natsu: *starts trembling in anger* I'm gonna fucking kill him
Lucy: I'm so weak, I couldn't even push him away *starts crying*
Natsu: *storms out of the house and slams the door shut*
Lucy: *goes into the bathroom and tries brushing her teeth and rinsing her mouth out to get rid of the taste*
Mira: *knocks on the bathroom door* Lucy? It's me, Mira
Lucy: *gargles then spits* come in *starts brushing her teeth for a third time*
Mira: *sits on the edge of the bathtub* Do you want to talk about it?
Lucy: *rinses her mouth and spits. She wipes her mouth* we were just talking then he appears right in front of me then he kissed me. I tried to push him away but he just deepened the kiss. I finally got him off me when Ryuu came out
Mira: I understand you wouldn't do it willingly. But you are aware that your husband who is in no condition to fight went after him right?
Lucy: oh no, I need to find him
Mira: Go. I can look after Ryuu and Layla
Lucy: thanks Mira. *she runs out the door and starts sniffing for Natsu's scent, she finds it and starts running after Natsu*
Natsu: *leaning up against a tree panting*
Lucy: *calling out* NATSU! WHERE ARE YOU!
Natsu: *gets to his feet shakily and continues running*
Lucy: (Natsu please talk to me)
Natsu: (I'll kill him. I'll fucking kill him)
Lucy: (you're in no state to fight)
Natsu: (I DON'T CARE)
Lucy: (why?)
Natsu: (He... He needs to die)
Lucy: (that's not a reason to go off and get yourself killed)
Natsu: *collapses on his knees panting*
Lucy: *catches up to Natsu* Natsu
Natsu: *breathing heavily, he can't even manage to turn around*
Lucy: *moves in front of Natsu* Natsu I'm sorry
Natsu: *looks up at Lucy*
Lucy: *starts crying* I'm so sorry *covers her face with her hands*
Natsu: *shakily gets to his feet* Its... Not... your... fault
Lucy: yes it is, I was too weak to push him away *cries into her hands*
Natsu: *runs past Lucy* (I'm going to fix this)
Lucy: *runs after Natsu* (Natsu don't do this. I don't want to lose you)
Natsu: *collapses into a tree, his skin is pale again and he's breathing even more heavily. The tree he's leaning on starts getting scorched*
Lucy: *runs to Natsu she moves in front of him, before he can do anything she kisses him and starts absorbing his pain and the heat. Tears pour down her face*
Natsu: *tries to push her away* (Lucy. Stop.)
Lucy: *she continues absorbing his pain and the heat* (I won't stop, this is the only thing I can do to help you)
Natsu: *starts losing consciousness* (Luce...)
Lucy: *sends some of her magic into Natsu keeping him conscious. She collapses to the ground, her skin has gone pale and heat radiates from her body*
Natsu: *falls to his knees and places his hands on her shoulders* Why?
Lucy: *her eyes are clouded* because I love you *starts falling to the ground*
Natsu: *catches her, and transfers the energy she gave to him back to her. He temporarily shuts their connection preventing her from doing that again, before he passes out*
Lucy: *wakes up. it's dark, she see's Natsu on the ground next to her* ergh my head *clutches her head.* what happened? *she looks around and sees light*
Lucy: *she picks Natsu up and heads to the light. She can smell a familiar non threatening scent*
Lucy: *she stops behind a tree and looks into the small clearing. she can see sting and Rogue sitting around a fire with Frosch sleeping in Rogue's lap*
Rogue: *looks up and sniff* sting it's appears that we have visitors
Sting: *sniffs* Ahh... if it isn't the fire and white dragon slayers. Won't you please join us
Lucy: *walks in with Natsu in her arms*
Sting: What are you doing here?
Lucy: we had a mishap and we fell unconscious not far from here
Sting: *approaches Lucy and grabs Natsu by the hair, lifting up his head* And Salamander?
Lucy: *glares at him* let go off him
Sting: *lets go* Why did you foolishly come to us?
Lucy: I thought you could help us. I have no idea what's happening to Natsu
Sting: Explain what is happening, then we shall decide whether or not to help
Lucy: *explains what's happening to Natsu*
Sting: *walks back to Rogue and Frosch*
Lucy: wait, please we need help. I'll do anything.
Rogue: Sting don't you think we should help them
Sting: You think we should?
Rogue: they're clearly in need of help. And as Lucy said she would do anything
Sting: *turns to Lucy* If we help you, what's in it for us?
Lucy: I can bring back Lector
Rogue: Sting?
Sting: *his eyes narrow at Lucy* Why should I trust you!? *points at Natsu* It's HIS fault Lector's gone anyway!
Lucy: I did nothing wrong to you, so why can't you trust me. I can use my magic to bring Lector back to life
Rogue: Sting you should give her a chance
Sting: *turns to Rogue*
Rogue: Sting if she brings Lector back you'll be happy again.
Sting: How can she bring him back if there's nothing left?
Lucy: I can bring him back with something that belonged to him, surely you have something to remember him by
Rogue: Sting don't you have one of Lectors vest
Sting: *reaches into his pocket and retrieves a small vest that could only have fit an exceed*
Lucy: *places Natsu down on the ground. She walks back over to sting and Rogue where she kneels on the ground* can you place Lectors vest in front of me please, so I can begin
Sting: *hesitates but places the vest down anyway*
Lucy: okay *she starts glowing white, a magic circle surrounds her which is white is colour with the shape of a lily in the middle. Lectors vest starts glowing as it is lifted into the air*
Rogue: I have never seen magic like this before
Lucy: *she focuses on the vest and searches for Lectors soul. She finds it and the magic circle starts glowing brighter creating a column of light that reaches into the sky. The light wakes Natsu up. A round white ball starts forming around the vest*
Natsu: *opens his eyes and tries to sit up, which catches Rogue's attention*
Rogue: it appears that the salamander has woken up
Natsu: *sees Rogue* R..Rogue?
Rogue: yes Natsu
Natsu: *tries to stand up* W..what are you... doing here?
Rogue: I would ask the same question, but Lucy already answered it
Lucy: *the magic starts putting a strain on her body a small stream of blood comes out her nose. The ball starts increasing in size*
Natsu: Lucy?
Natsu: *sniffs the air and realises what's currently happening* Lucy!
Lucy: *the magic circle prevents anyone from entering*
Lucy: *the ball starts to deform creating the shape of the body, arms, legs and tail first*
Rogue: *eye widen slightly* this is quite interesting
Sting: *can't take his eyes off of the light*
Lucy: *a tear drops of blood come out of her eyes as the head and eyes are formed*
Natsu: *looks at Lucy, but he doesn't have the energy to stand so he is forced to watch*
Lucy: *the entire body is formed and coloured starts appearing on the body. once the body is complete and shining blue/white orb appears from behind sting, it flies past sting and slams into the body. Lector's body is softly lowered onto the ground and the magic circle disappears. Lucy collapses to her side*
Lector: *he starts breathing and his flutter open*
Rogue: Sting it worked
Sting: L..Lector
Lector: *sits up and looks at sting. he smiles* sting kun
Natsu: *struggling to get to his feet and panting heavily getting the attention of Sting and Rogue* L..Lucy...
Rogue: if you struggle this much why are still trying to get to her
Natsu: sh... shut... up!
Rogue: I am only saying
Sting: Rogue. Help Salamander
Rogue: of course sting. *walks up to Natsu and helps Natsu get to Lucy who is barely conscious*
Natsu: *falls to his knees and lifts Lucy's head, his eyes watering* Luce... Luce look at me... Please
Lucy: *her eyes are clouded and blood shot* n..n..Natsu?
Natsu: Lucy... please just look at me...
Lucy: *looks at Natsu, she can only see shadows at the moment*
Natsu: You stupid woman... you know what this magic does to you...
Lucy: I...I'm s..s..sorry. I..I J..just w.. h..help y..you
Natsu: *he lets the tears fall and pulls her into a hug* Luce, I don't want you killing yourself for my sake
Lucy: *nods weakly* o..okay *she starts drifting off*
Natsu: *pulls away and shakes her lightly* Luce, you need to stay awake. Please, I can't lose you again
Lucy: *whispers* but I'm so tired
Natsu: *pulls her into a kiss and transfers some of his magic to her*
Lucy: *her eyes widen slightly, her eyes are less cloudy and bloodshot, colour returns to her face. she kisses him back*
Natsu: *pulls away, his eyes start flickering again*
Lucy: sting Rogue, please come here and look at Natsu's eye
Rogue: okay *walks over to Natsu and looks at his eyes* sting come and take a look at this
Sting: *approaches and looks* Well... This is interesting
Lucy: what's happening?
Sting: Do you have any idea where salamander's dragon is?
Lucy: no I haven't seen him for almost 9 years
Sting: *looks at Rogue*
Rogue: this happens to all dragon slayers when there dragon in within a certain range to the dragon slayer. and from some of these symptoms it seems that the fire dragon Igneel is being targeted and is in danger
Natsu: Ig...Igneel's nearby?
Rogue: it appears so, from these symptoms it is an obvoius trait that all dragon slayers share with their dragon
Sting: However some of your symptoms tell us that your 'father' is in danger
Lector: *tugs on stings pants* sting kun why is salamander her, and who is that girl
Natsu: *moves and winces* I... I have to go... find him...
Sting: *looks down at Lector* Salamander needed our help. That girl is his wife and a white dragon slayer
Rogue: you shouldn't be moving in your state. only someone with a connection can speak to him but you are clearly not fit to be travelling
Lector: but I thought you were the white dragon slayer
Natsu: I've... *tries to stand up* been through worse
Sting: Apparently there's another one
Lucy: *grabs Natsu's arm* Natsu please, I don't want you to strain yourself
Lector: can she use the same magic as you
Sting: Yep. And she can bring the dead back to life
Natsu: *falls onto his back, breathing heavily*
Lector: wow. But she'll never be as strong as you sting kun
Lucy: Natsu are you okay?
Sting: *smiles at the exceeds comment*
Natsu: *panting* I'll... be... fine
Frosch: *walks up to Rogue and clings onto his leg* fro thinks you're lying
Natsu: *looks up at Frosch who appears to be upside down* Since when were there two of you?
Frosch: fro is only one, there is no other fro
Natsu: *blinks a few times* Noo... I'm clearly seeing two of you
Lucy: Natsu Frosch is telling the truth
Sting: Salamander, how many of your wife do you see?
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* Umm... three
Rogue: your vision seems to have been affected
Natsu: That would explain why everything just started spinning
Lucy: Natsu, I think I should look for Igneel
Natsu: *tries to sit up* Not without me you ain't
Lucy: you can't even sit up properly how do you think you could go on a trip to find Igneel
Natsu: *looks at Lucy* Luce... Please...
Lucy: *shakes her head* you can't come with me Natsu
Natsu: *looks away from Lucy*
Sting: Now that you know what's happening to him, what are you going to do?
Lucy: I'm going to take Natsu home, then I'll leave to look for Igneel
Sting: Blondie. Thanks.
Lucy: no problem. And thank you sting
Sting: For what?
Lucy: for helping me figure out how to help Natsu
Sting: *smiles* Not a problem. But I'm challenging him to a fight when he recovers
Lucy: well I'm sure he'll be happy to fight you when he's recovered
Rogue: Farewell
Lucy: goodbye *Natsu and Lucy start glowing and they teleport to the front of the house*
