I saw it. I saw her tears and her pain. But I can't do anything. I have to fight or else tartaros would win this war, that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt though.
We're having trouble keeping our opponents down and I know I have to hurry.
I dodge a fist that was aimed for my head and kicked whats-his-face in the stomach.
Tch that was close I need to pay more attention. Focus.
Oh crap, I said focus but no I space out again and get hit in the back. It didn't hurt, ugh not at all.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
"What the fuck! Are you trying to destroy the place!" Shut up Gajeel.
What's he talking about anyway? Is that rumbling? Well crap, the ceiling's coming down! I gotta get out of here.
"Lucy!" I ran to where she was and picked her up just before a rock smashed on to the area we just were.
Not long after, everything started falling down and I smelt someone following us.
I put Lucy down and quickly jumped in front of her and blocked the attack with my awesome reflexes.
I got a look at the attacker and realized it was the bastard that I awesomely saved Metal Face, Ice Princess, and Juvia, from.
"How did you do that? This place was built with magical resistance." Isn't it obvious, it's because i'm awesome.
"Natsu?" Lucy?!
"Lucy! You're awake!" Thank god. Hehe now all I've got to do is kick this bastard's ass.
"I'm all fired up!"
The battle ended quickly and I only had a couple of scratches and cuts here and there. I run over to Lucy to see if she's ok.
She's crying. She looks so vulnerable and delicate right now. That's not right! Lucy's strong and brave, but she looks so weak.
"Natsu." I can hear her voice shaking.
"Lucy. What happened?" She slowly opened her hand to reveal what she was gripping like a lifeline. Aquarius's key. It was broken and falling apart.
"Lucy, I'm so sorry." She was softly sobbing.
"It's ok. It's not your fault, you weren't there." That's the point if I was there this wouldn't have happen.
"I had to destroy her key to summon the spirit king." I sit next to her and give her a hug. She grabs on to whatever's left of my vest and sobs in to it.
"It'll be okay Lucy. It's not goodbye we'll definitely see her again. I promise."
I can hear it, this war isn't over yet. There are soldiers heading here. Their footsteps echoing in the hallway and i'm sure Lucy heard them too since she started getting up.
"Lucy, this war isn't over yet."
"I know. So lets fight."
"Lucy."
"I'll be fine. After all you promised right."
Yeah I promise Luce. So stand up and fight. I'll always save you, I promise.
