Spoilers for the anime ahead, this is a darker Drabble, I will try to post a fluffier one today. Dark NaLu.
Natsu had been overprotective of Lucy before, but when he watched her die right in front of him, even if it was just her future self, it was still Lucy. That's why when the bandits hurt her, he nearly killed them. No one hurts his Lucy and gets away with it. At that moment, he didn't care about the blood on his hands, as long as it wasn't Lucy's. He didn't care that Lucy was screaming , telling him not to kill them, or that he threw Gray into a brick wall when he tried to stop him, or that even Erza was out cold and bleeding. The screams that Lucy let loose were muffled, and everything other than his enemy's had faded from his mind. With snake like slits in his eyes and scales covering his face and his flaming fists, he delivered the final blow, and surveyed his surroundings. The mangled corpses surrounded the battlefield, and only one nought entered his mind. " No one hurts my Lucy." This is the true power of dragon force.
