Chapter 2: Another World

The burst of fire was about to hit the celestial mage, but the ground started to shack. It suddenly collapsed and Lucy fell into a newly made hole. The landing wasn't hard; it was only several feet deep.

"Did I do good princess?" it was Virgo. Just at the neck of time too!

"Thanks Virgo," Lucy gulped. She was still shocked at what she saw; the mages that were attacking and killing were her best friends...Wendy, Gray, Erza, and...Natsu...

"Where did the Blondie go? And where did the hole come from?" Lucy could hear Natsu(?) ask impatiently.

"Virgo did the two boys manage to escape?" Lucy immediately asked remembering the boys and hoping they were safe. She really needed good news; especially after what she saw was going on.

"Yes princess," Virgo answered emotionless like always, "they were taken to the hospital by some guards, they seemed trustworthy enough to seem to help,"

Lucy let out a big thankful breath, "good, you can rest now," Lucy forced closed Virgo's gate before she could argue or say another word.

"Open! Gate of the Great Bull! Taurus!"

Taurus came out holding his ax up, "Mooooo! Lucy's nice body!"

"Not now! Taurus, stop the mages who are burning the town," Lucy hesitated to order. She never thought she would have to say those words towards them. To the people she loved most...Taurus jumped out of the huge hole and got his ax ready for battle.

"What the heck? Is that a cow?" Gray(?) wondered with his shirt taken off.

"Who knows? Maybe he tastes good?" Natsu(?) added with a hungry look on his face. It was like her Natsu's face when he wanted food...Only more sinister and cold...

"I'm a bull! And I'm not something to eat you fire-breathing freak," Taurus hissed tightening his grip on his ax just waiting for the right moment to strike. He must have known he had to act carefully since he wasn't swing his ax immediately like every time she summoned him.

"Where did the girl go?" Erza(?) asked coldly. Lucy was still down the hole. "Remember our mission guys. Destroy the town and as many people as we can."

Lucy's eyes widened, "why are you doing this..?" the words managed to slip out as she gotten back up on the surface but then immediately shut her mouth regretting she ever spoke.

All the focus was on her. The atmosphere felt so intense she could barely breath. As their cold eyes were staring at her, she felt like all oxygen left from her body, and she couldn't breath anymore. Even thought screams of terror and noise from falling buildings were occurring, Lucy heard nothing and everything went silent for a moment. Time going slow as she slowly made direct eye contact with Natsu(?).

"Oh, so you're still here," Natsu(?) grinned evilly, "you got balls not running away with your tail behind your back like the other weaklings."

"W-Why are you people destroying the town? W-Why are you hurting people?" Lucy opened her moth again and almost choked out the words.

"It's are mission. Are you one of those brats that helped people escape? Because of you and your partner we didn't kill as many people as we thought we would," Gray(?) accused. He must have been talked about her and Loke.

Lucy got over the shock after what the ice mage said that, "so you're angry that I saved people?! What is wrong with you!?" she gotten back up on her feet again to show her enemies(?) she could and would fight back. That she was more than a pretty face.

"Listen princess if you want to die painlessly then shut up," Natsu(?) threatened as he set his fists on fire most likely to scare her but that didn't work. Lucy has changed ever since she joined Fairy Tail.

"I'm not gonna die at all!" finally Lucy got out her whip out, now she had to focus on surviving. She could figure out what the hell was going on later.

"Look's like we got a fighter," Wendy(?) said emotionless. Unlike the Wendy Lucy knew...her eyes were...Empty.

"Look, I don't know what a cow is doing here or where he came from, but I do know is that were mages. You won't even put a scratch on us," Natsu(?) stated with his cold onyx eyes staring at her.

"I'm a bull!" Taurus interrupted once again on the intense conversation.

"I might as well try than give up and die!" Lucy swung her whip at Natsu(?) and Taurus attacked Wendy(?) and Gray(?). The smoke was just one of the few things that slowed her down. With Natsu's(?) ability to smell her while Lucy couldn't see anything in the smoke she already knew the results of the battle. Her swings were close to hitting Natsu(?) but he dodged them all. While Taurus was having a hard time too, the worst part was that nobody could attack Erza(?).

"Roar of the Sky Dragon!"

"Ice make Hammer!"

Lucy could see Taurus struggling. He was getting beaten up while he could only give several minor attacks at them. At this rate she could actually die.

"Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!"

Lucy was lucky that Natsu(?) missed his attack somehow. Erza(?) started to join in the battle. She grabbed her sword and swung towards her head. Lucy barely dodged it; she could feel the breeze from the sword. Lucy and Taurus were at their limits. Lucy had cuts and bruises all around her body, she bleed so much she could barely stay conscious.

"You're not half bad princess to bad you're on the opposite side we could have been good sparing buddies," Natsu(?) harshly whispered in her ear...This was not the Natsu Lucy knew...It couldn't have been...He would never hurt her or innocent people or kill for fun.

Natsu(?) trapped both her arms by a burning wall with one hand. She couldn't move them anymore or use her whip also the heat of the wall was practically burning her alive. She was completely defenseless. Natsu(?) had his free fist on fire, ready to go for the kill. Lucy closed her eyes shut, she didn't want to see his fist collide with her body and face.

This was it! He was really gonna kill her. Lucy didn't want her spirit to watch so she force closed Taurus's gate. Her magic was extremely low.

"Where'd the cow go?" Erza(?) placed her sword near Lucy's neck before Natsu could harm her. Shivers went down her back, she could feel the blade already cutting her skin and bones even though she wasn't even in contact with it yet. "Are you going to answer my question or do you wish to die?"

"H-He's at the celestial world. I sent him back," Lucy squealed.

"Is that code talk for something? What is a celestial world?" Erza(?) asked darkly.

'How does she not know what the celestial world is?' Lucy thought.

"I'm not a patient person and I don't like to repeat myself. Where did that cow go and how did a hole come out of nowhere?" she kept interrogating.

Lucy just looked at her dumb-founded, celestial magic was a pretty common magic before the incident on Tenrou Island. Natsu didn't know what it was when he first met her, but he was an idiot. Erza should have known such a magic like that.

"Just kill her Erza, we'll take care of her partner later," Natsu(?) said densely with a bored face.

"You need to learn you can't just kill people immediately Natsu. You have to break them until they give you everything you want to know," she stared at Lucy that gave her shivers down her spine, "and then kill them," the scarlet-haired mage finished.

"What can we get from her? I could play with her a little. She does have a pretty face and nice body but what else?" Gray(?) asked curiously observing Lucy.

"You morons, we need her to tell us where her friend is, and how the hole and the cow came out of nowhere," Erza(?) growled. She looked as if she was just done with them.

"Who cares, will just kill her friend and anybody else that defies us like always," Natsu(?) yawned...Always...That word echoed in Lucy's mind. How many innocent lives have they taken? Why on Earthland would they do such a thing?

"She might be a mage," Wendy(?) walked over Lucy. She stared at her chocolate-brown eyes.

"Her? A mage? Only 1 out of 100 people are mage's, plus if she was a mage she would have used her magic to stop us. Not a stupid whip." Gray(?) and Natsu(?) seemed unconvinced at Wendy's(?) observation.

'One out of a hundred?! I thought it was 20% of the number of mages in Earthland?' Lucy thought.

"A hole in the ground did appear out of nowhere, also the cow did as well," Erza(?) now had second thoughts about killing her on the spot, "what type of magic do you use?" she sounded more ordering than asking.

Even though a sword was pointed at Lucy's neck she didn't speak, she couldn't speak. Not because she was injured and was about to faint at any minuet, but because she was to upset and shocked on what was happening right now.

"For some reason, I think she's more confused than scared of us," evil Wendy nailed it! She did feel that way, Erza(?) threatening to kill her was scary, but because she knew her, this was just to hard to understand even more.

"That's weird, all the people we hold captive is usually scared they pee their pants," Natsu(?) stared into Lucy's eyes.

Lucy just stood there; she wanted to yell, 'Natsu! It's me! Please stop this!'

"See, she is scared of us, she's crying," the ice mage pointed out.

Lucy didn't notice, but she was crying in both mental and physical pain. Where was Loke? Did he go back to the Celestial World because she didn't have any magic energy left?

Wendy(?) still didn't agree with Gray(?), "when people are afraid of us they start to beg and cry for their lives, even if they are strong. This one is crying like she lost or forgotten something important."

Ding Ding Ding, she was so close! It was like Wendy(?) could see into her soul!

"Enough of this. Where is your friend and that cow? And what magic do you use?" Erza(?) was ready to kill Lucy with no hesitation, with her position of her body and arm with the sword in her hand, she could swing her sword and cut off Lucy's neck like a twig.

"Just kill her, I want to kill more people!" Natsu(?) complained. As they were trying to scare the answers out of her, citizens were running out of the town. That was the only good thing about the situation Lucy was in, but it saddened her to see no one was trying to help or save her. Just running away and just caring about themselves...

"It's very rare to see mage's out of our guild, we need to know her magic before we kill her just in case she might become a threat in the later future," Erza(?) explained as she started to pull hard on Lucy' hair similar to how Nightwalker did back at Edolas when they first met.

"I never seen a mage outside of guilds," Gray(?) grinned in interest. Lucy never seen that look on his face before, it was both filled with horrier and lust. She wanted to be knocked out so she wouldn't have to see any of this. She haven't felt so helpless until the time she got kidnapped by Gajeel.

"Why don't we just take her back to the guild? She might be working for someone. I think she is more useful to us alive than dead," Wendy(?) muttered.

"I agree with you; in addition, we can torture her for defying to answer my questions." Erza(?) said full of pride.

Lucy looked at the sky dragon-slayer mage. For some reason, when Wendy(?) said those words Lucy felt like she was protecting her from them. Natsu(?) roughly threw Lucy over his shoulders. She tired to resist but didn't have enough strength too. She wanted to yell out for help but the person she would always call out for was Natsu. The mages started to resume their mission except for Natsu; he had to watch Lucy so she wouldn't escape.

"Why do I have to babysit you?! What's so special about you that Wendy convinced us to let you live?! I've never seen her like that before. If you aren't a mage then I'll just kill you now," Natsu(?) threatened.

Lucy couldn't reply back. She wanted to just hit him on the head or give him one of her 'Lucy Kick'. Watching innocent people die, be assaulted or possibly die from your best friends, and have no idea what's going on. The perfect way to celebrate your birthday.

Natsu(?) haven't noticed Lucy bleeding. If that kept on going on, she would die from blood loss. Wendy(?) walked over to them. She started to heal her where she was bleeding the most.

"Why are you healing her Wendy?" Natsu(?) asked with widened eyes. Lucy's only guess for his reaction was this Wendy didn't care about many people enough to heal them.

"If I don't she can die from blood loss, Natsu-San remember we need to keep this one alive. Keep on watching her and help her not die," Wendy(?) went back to the killing and destruction.

"Then why don't you watch her!?" Natsu(?) yelled in anger.

Lucy already started to feel much better, Wendy(?) must have healed more than just her blood problem. She looked at Natsu(?) and he looked at her back with his cold eyes once again made her tremble.

"What are you looking at?" he said coldly.

"..."

"Geez, I agreed to spare your pathetic life for now and this is how I'm treated. You should be grateful!" the fire dragon-slayer hissed.

Lucy ignored his comment and looked at the people screaming in fear, watching people die helplessly was horrible. Fresh tears started to form and all Lucy could do was shut her eyes and cover her ears to avoid looking or hearing this tragedy.

"What the hell did you do to Lucy?" a new voice walked in.

Lucy looked up to see another figure come towards her yet again the smoke was blocking the face of the owner of the voice, but Lucy knew who it was. It was Loke! He must have sensed his summoner being in need of help. Lucy tried to force close his gate but it didn't work.

"So you're her partner that was trying to play hero?" Natsu(?) got up and smashed his fists together, "I'll hurt you 100 times worse. We don't need you alive just your partner so I won't hold anything back."

"I don't know what the hell is going on but if you hurt Lucy I'll hurt you Natsu," Loke has his serious face on; it was rare of him to yell. He must have been really mad.

"Let's fight," Natsu(?) started to rush over to him with his hands on fire ready to brawl. He swung his fist but Loke easily dodged it.

"You're not half bad are you a mage too?" Natsu(?) grinned.

"No I'm not. I'm a celestial spirit. I knew you were dumb Natsu, but I didn't think you were this dumb," Loke innocently smiled which made Natsu have a irritated look.

"Roar of the Fire Dragon!

"Regulus Impact!"

Their fists collided and a huge explosion occurred. Wendy(?), Erza(?), and Gray(?) came back to see what all the commotion was about...They had blood all over them and Lucy was absolutely sure of one thing...It wasn't their blood.

"Is that the other guy that was rescuing people?" Gray(?) asked.

"What the hell do you think Ice-Freak?" Natsu(?) hissed back while blocking another one of Loki's attacks.

"He must be a mage if he could fight against you Natsu-San," Wendy(?) commented.

"Kill him quickly we're finally done destroying the town," Erza(?) commanded harshly.

Natsu(?) and Loke were still clashing fists. To think of it Lucy never witnessed a fight between those two. The leader of the Zodiac V.S. the fire dragon-slayer who defeated Jellal and even two other dragon-slayer.

The battle went on and everyone started to get bored watching it except for Lucy who couldn't stop thinking of Loke and Natsu(?) getting hurt.

"End it Natsu," Gray(?) said in boredom.

"Shut up, he's stronger than he looks!" Natsu(?) argued. Natsu(?) then started to have a smirk on his face whatever he was thinking wasn't good. Natsu(?) ran towards and grabbed Lucy's arm to use her as a shield as Loke was about to land another attack.

Loke immediately turned the other way. His fists hit a building, "fight like a man Natsu don't take hostages. I thought you were better than that," Loke hissed. He was really pissed now that Natsu(?) used his owner as a shield.

"Gray! Wendy! Now!" the fire dragon-slayer yelled.

"Ice make Floor!"

"Roar of the Sky Dragon!"

The icy floor made Loke slip and the blast from Wendy surprised him. Luckily he dodged Wendy's attack, but Natsu(?) has the chance to finally hit him. He landed a critical hit. Loke started to cough out blood in pain. Loke bend down in pain as Natsu(?) kept on kicking him with an evil grin.

"Loke!" Lucy let out a small scream.

"Lucy!" Loke sceamed back.

"Geez, what is this a love story?" Natsu(?) teased as he continued to kick him.

"Loke, go back," the blonde-haired mage cried.

"No way Lucy, I'd never let you get hurt," the spirit disagreed.

"Drama queen," Gray(?) said.

"Shut up Gray!" Loke replied but ended up even more blood.

"Kill him Natsu," Erza(?) ordered.

"My pleasure," the salmon-haired picked Loke up by his hair. Seeing that, something inside of Lucy burst. Her new weird tattoo started to glow white, the ground started to shack again, and the winds started to blow as harsh as a tornado.

"STOP!" Lucy screamed, suddenly some sort of force-field surrounded Loke. Natsu(?) quickly let him go and his hand that he used to hold him started to smoke. The force-field must have been strong if Natsu(?) dropped him that fast.

"What the hell was that?" Natsu(?) muttered.

"Lucy..." Loke couldn't finish his sentence because as soon as he said her name he vanished back to the celestial world...

And as soon as Loke vanished every single bit of power and energy had left her, she started to black out and the last thing she saw was everyone starring at her.
