Natsu's POV
I was walking back to the guild with happy. We had just gotten done with a mission which means we just got off the train about ten minutes ago. I was on alert since it was getting dark out and this side of town isn't always the safest place to be walking around in the evening.
Suddenly I heard someone call for help." Hey Happy. Did you hear something?" I said looking around. " Yeah. It was my stomach growling from the lack of fish."
I ran in the direction of the voice. I turned the corner into an ally and was met with a disgusting sight.
I saw a young woman being held by some sort of magic ropes while some pervert was touching her. I rushed head first into the situation without thinking.
'According to ice-freak I always run head first into things. Jerk'll have it com'in to him later.' I sent the perv flying. People like him just piss me off. He tried to get me back but I made quick work of him.
Every now and then I would make sure the girl was alright. 'She looks really familiar... Can quite put my finger on it' I thought to myself.
When I finished off the first guy one of his minions decided that they could take me. He used shadow magic. I wasn't used to that so it caught me off guard. That's when the asshole got cocky:" That's it? That was way too easy. This guy must be pretty weak.". That's it. Time to end this. " FIRE DRAGONS ROAR!"
Happy's POV
'What was that for Natsu?! Don't just leave me behind like that!...I wonder if he went to get me some fish?'
BANG! CRASH!
'Nope doubt it.. He's probably in trouble. I should go check it out.' I flew as fast as my wings would carry me. I turned into the ally that I saw the fire poor out of. I wasn't expecting to hit his face, but whatever.
"Natsuuu! Don't leave me behind like that! I was really worried about you!"
" Sorry to make you worry Happy, but that's not important right now. We need to get to the guild and fast." Natsu explained
" Aye sir!" I replied I turned to fly to the guild but I was out of magic energy from finding Natsu. " Looks like I used the last of my magic to find you Natsu sorry." I almost cried again.
I don't like it when I let Natsu down.
Natsu's POV..again..^-^
I successfully defeated all the mages. With a couple of destroyed walls and or buildings...'Gramps won't be to happy 'bout this one' I thought shivering about thinking of what he'll do when he finds out.
I then turned to see the girl I helped falling to the ground.
I quickly ran and caught her." That was a close one! You could have hit your head! Or worse!" I smiled down at her. Her eyes locked onto mine.
Her eyes were a mesmerizing honey chocolate brown. They made me feel safe even though I wasn't in danger in the first place.
The only thing she said to me in return was:"Who are you?" Then she was out.
" Hey! I need to get you to Wendy!" I picked her up bridal style and turned to run out of the ally when a fury blue ball hit me in the face when I turned around."Happy?"
" Natsuuu! I was so worried about you! You just took off without me! I had no idea where you were so when I heard the explosion I came as fast as I could." Happy explained as he whipped tears from his eyes.
" Sorry to make you worry Happy, but that's not important right now. I need you to fly ahead to the guild and have Mira and Wendy prepare a bed in the infirmary for this woman."
" Aye sir!" He tried to summon his wings but they wouldn't appear. "Looks like I used the last of my magic to find you Natsu. Sorry."
" That's OK I'll just have to run then. Get on my back and hold on" I instructed kneeling down so that he could get on. " Aye!"
As soon as he was on my back a ran as fast I could to the guild careful not to hurt my passenger.
I arrived at my guild,Fairy Tail, and kicked the doors open as I yelled" Mira! Wendy! We need medical treatment now!" The girls stopped what they were doing and ran to prepare the infirmary.
Mira called " Bring the patient in here and lay them on the bed closest to the window!" Over her shoulder. "Aye!"
Happy flew ahead into the infirmary. " Hey Happy! I thought you didn't have any magic energy left!?"
" Sorry Natsu! I tried to tell you,but you didn't here me!"
The blue exceed then flew into the infirmary without looking back." Stupid cat." I muttered.
When I entered the room I was ushered to the bed to lay the patient down. Then I heard Mira gasp in shock and say/exclaim:"Lucy!"
Mira's POV.
" Lucy! What happened to her?!" I looked to Natsu. " I don't know if she was badly injured. All I know is that if I didn't get to her when I did she would have been raped by some of phanto lords. Wait you know her?" He explained.
" Yes but that's not the point Natsu!" I smacked the back of his head for his stupid question." Do you know why she fainted?"
"No. All I know is that I defeated the group of dark guild mages that were going to hurt her and when I turned around she just started to fall. She didn't even thank me! She just asked who I was!"
I smacked him again for his selfishness. " Wendy can you figure out what happened to her?"
"Yes. Her injuries are not to bad but from all the bruises an her abdomen, arms legs, and pretty much her whole body she was most likely beaten... The marks on her wrists and ankles. Natsu-San what are these from?"
" They had her hands and feet bound together by some sort of magic rope so she couldn't fight back."
" I see... It looks like the 'magic ropes' that they used on her were draining her magic energy. She didn't lose enough for it to be serious, but its enough that the strength in her legs gave out."
"So... She will be OK right?" I asked." Yeah with a little bit of help from my magic she should be just fine in a matter of 2 days. That will be enough time for her to heal from all the bruises as well." Wendy said. I could tell she was trying to make me feel better.
Just then Levy came running into the room. Wendy tried to keep her calm like she did me."Don't worry Levy-San she will be alright just a few bruises and magic deficiency."
" Lu-Chan! What took her magic? Why did she get beat up? Why were you with her at this hour?" Levy-San said pointing at Natsu-San.
Levy's POV.
I saw Natsu come in and yell to Mira and Wendy that he needed medical assistance. 'When did he learn such big words?' I thought to myself inwardly laughing. But when he started running to the infirmary I saw him carrying a girl in his arms.
I tried to see her face, but he was running to fast. All I saw was blonde hair flying in the wind. 'Lu-Chan!?' I went to go with Natsu but Jet and Droy started asking me questions about what I was doing. 'Sometimes they really get on my nerves' I thought as I quickly answered them an ran up the stairs into the infirmary.
When I entered the room I saw Wendy begin healing her. ' I was right it was Lu-Chan.' "Don't worry Levy -San she will be alright. Just a few bruises and magic deficiency." Wendy said. 'Wendy is such a sweet girl, but that doesn't stop me from worrying.'
I have so many questions " Lu- Chan! What took her magic? Why did she get beat up, and why were you with her at this hour?!" I was so worried I couldn't hold any of my questions back.
"What do you mean' why was I with her'? I saved her from being raped by some basturds from a dark guild!" Natsu explained his side of the story. I turned to Mira-San and Wendy-Chan.
"It appears that when the dark guild caught her they put her hands and feet in some sort of magical rope that drained her of her magic energy, I'm also guessing that before Natsu-San got there they beat her." Wendy said.
" Poor Lu-Chan.." I said in a quiet voice.
Natsu's POV
'Why is everyone so worked up over this chick? I know they know her but I don't, so I feel weird not being as worried about her as the rest of them' I thought to myself.
I decided to change that." Who is this chick anyway? I mean you guys seem to know her, but I don't have any clue who she is. She does look familiar though." I said nonchalantly.
" This 'chick' is my best friend Lucy Heartfilia. She's had a rough past. I guess this experience is just another to her collection..." Levy stated the last part in a hushed voice.
If I didn't have sensitive hearing I wouldn't been able to hear what she said.
"Oh... Why does that name sound so familiar?" I said out loud.
Lucy's POV (still in dreamland)
Why did he look so familiar to me?
Was the only question running through my head when he came in the ally and saved me. Since then that's the only question I've had.
I opened my eyes to see that I was floating I midair surrounded by darkness. I looked around every now and then seeing flashes of pink...' The color of that guy's hair' I thought
Suddenly there was a bright light coming from behind me. I turned to look at what it was , but quickly shielded my eyes. 'Its so bright!' I inwardly yelled.
For some reason I can't talk. I tried earlier ,but nothing came out so I stopped trying.
When my eyes adjusted to the light I slowly walked forward until the light was right in front if me. I reached out to touch it. When I did the space around me took color. For a minute the space around me was swirled with rainbow colors until they all found their right full places.
I looked around one more time and I found myself in Hargeon. I walked around until I saw myself in mixed with a crowd of girls swooning over some dude.
' I remember this. That guy used a forbidden love charm to make the girls fall for him.' I thought dryly.
All of the sudden a boy with pink hair barges into the middle of us and yells" Igneel!" I noticed that the charms effect on me wore off and I no longer swooned over the creep.
'That hair... Oh! I know! He's the guy that saved me from that dark guild!' I thought triumphantly smiling because I figured out who he was.
" Your not Igneel!" The pink-haired boy yelled. " No. I'm the great salamander!" The purple haired guy boasted." Oh, so your not Igneel? That's lame." The boy said again. " How dare you say that my beloved salamander is lame!?" " Lets get him!" Some of the enchanted girls yelled as they started to beat the hell out of the poor guy.
'Was that a tooth!? Damn these girls mean business' I thought as I kept watching the scene unfold. When the girls were done with him my other self went over and introduced herself to the boy while helping him up.
" Thank you for helping me out back there. If it wasn't for you I would have fallen head over he alls for that creep."
"Eww! That dude! You would fall for a guy with purple hair?!"
"Like you have room to talk you have pink hair, and in my defense he was using a charm to make girls swoon over him! Anyway, my names Lucy. Its nice to meet you!"
" I'm Natsu Dragneel. Its not pink its salmon! I'm called salamander at times too though. And this is my partner Happy. Are you in a mage guild? You sure know a lot about magic. " he asked.
" No. Why don't we go somewhere else to talk it looks like the girls are coming back" I said and pointed to the angry mob of women that were running our way as the 'great salamander' flew away using his fire.
"Let's go!" Natsu said as he grabbed my wrist and practically dragging me along with him. I just hung on for dear life. Man this boy could run fast.
We entered a restaurant and found a booth near the window. We ordered a lot of food. Well Natsu did at least. As soon as the food was placed in front of us Natsu and his cat Happy started shoveling large amounts of food in their mouths at inhuman speeds.
Not to mention they ate an unreal amount of food.
As they ate I explained how I've always wanted to join FairyTail someday. When I was done with that I asked Natsu who this Igneel character was." So who was it you were looking for? Oh right Igneel. Who's he?"
" Igneel is a fire dragon! You know big with the red scales and stuff." He said through mouth fulls of food. Some of it landed on me, but I didn't notice.
"Your k-kidding! A d-dragon! A big a scary destructive dragon! I didn't think they existed any more!" I said slightly scared from the image in my head. "Hey Igneel's not scary or destructive! He's my dad!" Natsu exclaimed happily as if saying that your father is a dragon is something normal.
"OK then. Well I have to go. Here. This should be enough to pay for your meal and good luck with finding your dad." I handed them about 2000 jewels and turned to take my leave while waving goodbye.
"Wait!" I turned around to see both Natsu and Happy on the floor bowing while thanking me for the meal. "S-stand up your embarrassing me!" I said while I tried to hide the blush that creeped up on my face as people stared.
"Thank you for everything! Oh I know! Here!" ,he then handed me an autograph by the 'great salamander' and said," a gift." He then smiled a crooked smile that reached from ear to ear showing his k9's.
'I didn't know people had k9's that big' I thought as I smiled. 'It's just hard not to smile with him. Its like his smile is contagious.'
"No that's OK I don't want it. Maybe we'll see each other again." I said as I gave one more smile and wave before I left.. Then my surroundings went to a blur as it then turned into another bright light.
I opened my eyes again only this time I saw two hands glowing a greenish blue above my abdomen. Out of instinct I sat straight up, pulled my legs closer to my chest, and held my hands defensively in front of me.
"Ahh!" I heard a small yell of surprise when I did that. I quickly looked around to see that I was in a room, on a bed next to the window, with a young girl with long dark blue hair that was up in two high pigtails staring at me surprised.
"Oh I'm sorry! I did't mean to scare you!" She said. " What were you doing? " I asked looking at my body. "Oh I was using my magic to heal you. When Natsu-San brought you in you had fainted due to all the bruises and magic deficiency you suffered, but you look to be fine now. Stay here while I go get some people that really want to see you." The little girl said and turned to leave.
"Wait! I don't even know your name!" I yelled as she skipped out of the room." Wendy! Wendy Marvell of Fairy Tail!" She yelled back from the hall.
"Fairy Tail!?" I said to myself.
Wendy's POV.
'That was weird. She just kind of woke up and tried to hit me. Probably just reflex. I don't blame her. I would have done the same if I suddenly woke up to a stranger using magic on my body too.'
I ran as fast as I could down the stairs to tell Levy-San and Mira-San that Lucy is awake. I turned a corner on the stairs and ran into a boy. We fell down the rest of the stairs together. 'Thank Mavis it was only five extra steps.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Romeo! I'm in a hurry. Do you know where Mira-San and Levy-San are?" I asked as I helped him up.
He looked at me and then quickly looked away.
'Was he blushing?' I thought to myself. "Yeah they're at the bar talking about the girl in the infirmary." He said pointing in the bar's direction." Thank you!" I said as I ran off to the bar.
"Mira-San! Levy-San!"
Levy's POV
I was talking about Lu-Chan with Mira-San and Cana-San when I suddenly heard Wendy calling my name. I turned to see the little dragonslayer running at me full speed with a big smile on her face.
Just before she ran me over she skidded to a stop. " Levy-San, Mira-San! She's awake!" She exclaimed. "Who's awake?" Cana asked. "Oh, high Cana-San! Lucy Heartfilia! She woke up not to long ago! Come on!" She then started pulling on my wrist.
'She seems pretty excited. Probably happy that she gets to help out a lot.' I thought with a smile. Mira, Cana, Wendy, and I all ran up the stairs to the infirmary. Apparently Natsu overheard our conversation because he wasn't too far behind us.
When we got in the room I saw Lu-Chan and I couldn't hold my excitement back anymore. "Lu-Chan! I was so worried about you!" I exclaimed.
"You were?" She asked "Yeah, we all were!" Mira said as she and Cana joined our group hug.
When we let her go she gasped for air. Then she thanked all of us. "Thank you for healing me Wendy, and thank you for bringing me here." She said looking at Natsu." You look pretty familiar too me... Would you happen to have been to Hargeon last summer?"
