(In Lucy's Dream)
They came at each other at before they could collide everything went white.
The explosion was immense Lucy could feel the heat coming of the collision of Natsu's attack with the other guy's. They stepped back from each other, Natsu relighting his flames and enveloping his whole body with them as he powered up to fight. He was serious. They had captured lucy and he was going to make them pay twice as much. He geared up for his most powerful breath attack he could muster, building as much magic energy as he could to one single point. Lucy backed up from where she was standing, hoping not to get caught up in the gust of flames.
Natsu smashed his knuckles together and a big magic circle appeared with a dragon emblem surrounded by flames in it's middle. He sucked in as much air as he could. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" He screamed as he cupped his hands together and let out his breath attack against the poor guy. It was massive, Lucy had never seen him put that much energy into one of his breath attacks.
It steamed straight toward the other guy and hit him full force. The explosion had over taken everything and the cell and walls started to collapse, the way out of there was still open so Natsu ran over and picked Lucy up and jumped up the stairs as fast as he humanly could. While they were running the fire had lit an explosion barrel that was kept in the ammunition room of the cell and that had exploded as well sending a shockwave after them. Natsu sped up, running faster than he knew he could and with Lucy as his chest looking behind him.
"Hurry Natsu! It's catching up!" She screamed as she saw the shockwave of nothing but flames sped towards them at a dangerous pace. With that he ran, faster than Jet when he had been in that race with the guild, and that's when Lucy looked ahead and saw light hopefully the end of this long tunnel and looks like to the outside as well. "We are almost… there!" He stretched out the last word as the light came faster and faster.
He jumped out, the explosion releasing into the air as they landed onto the ground singed by the flames and pumped full of fresh adrenaline. With Natsu and Lucy catching their breath and laying on the soft grass growing off the floor Lucy looked to her left and saw that Natsu was gasping for air just as much as she was. She looked back up, towards the sky and saw the clouds floating not that far up. She put her hand up and tried to touch it but stopped when she felt a sharp ping go down her spine. She quickly sat up and looked toward the flaming sxit of where she had been, staring at it's flaming mouth. Then out from the flames came laughter and a shadowy figure appeared.
"No… it can't be" It was him. He had survived the breath attack that Natsu had delivered with all his might and not only that but it had hit him full on. "Did you really think that such a puny attack like that would hurt me? How amusing." His voice was sadistic. He was not only rotten to the core but he was strong, strong enough to either block Natsu's breath attack or fast enough to dodge it. Whatever it was, we had a big problem on our hands and it was getting bigger by the second…
(Lucy's Pov)
It was a warm morning, waking up by Natsu and his abnormal body heat made it even more warm and then again his chest was even more warm considering that was where I was sleeping! I stiffened more than I knew i could because any movement know could wake him up and he'll see this and think something wrong. But if I didn't do something quick happy could wake up and see this and tease me for eternity with this, the problem was figuring out which one was worse than the other. Then again… I guess it was pretty comfortable, he had grown out of his obnoxious snoring and instead his snoring was now limited to this slight purring or a deep rumble in his chest and for me it was apparently snooze time when I heard this because I was already ready to fall asleep. I slowly put my arounds his chest and snuggled into the crevice of the middle of his ribcage, it was warm… and comforting. It brings back memories of how he had always come to save me when i was caught or in deep problem, he had always been willing to put his life on the line for me and the others. He never showed mercy to his enemies when they hurt me but when he won he was always caring towards me when he got me out of there. Back then, when Gajeel was still with phantom lord, he had caught me and tortured me near death, and when I thought it was over and the final blow was near, he came and saved me. He always does. That's when I noticed that the soft rumblings had stopped and his breathing became normal again. I looked up slowly and saw that he had a neutral look his face with his hands behind his head and his piercing onyx eyes looked through my soul.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!" I quickly said as I scrambled away and crawled back towards the edge of the tent, and stopped when my back reached up against it. "Hey no problem, I'm happy I could be a suitable pillow for you" He said, quickly sitting up and stretching as far as he could in the small tent and then opening it and walking out. Three seconds he stuck his head back in and motioned me to come on out. I followed his orders and came to a full stand outside.
He took a full breath in and let out a stream of fire from his mouth and turned towards me, "Hey Luce do you think we can start heading out towards home now? Happy wants to give some fish that he caught to Carle again." he said looking back in the tent and finding the Happy was still asleep. "Yeah sure, let me get some breakfast going and once we eat we can get going okay?" I said turning around and going to get pots and pans. " Alright!" he said happily, going back to the tent to wake up Happy.
(1 Hour Later)
Team Natsu was now in the guild, doing what they usually are doing with Natsu and Gray fighting, Erza having a piece of strawberry cake, Cana drinking herself stupid, and everybody else just conversating. Lucy was over at a table conversing with Levy about the novel she was writing on her own spare time. It got dark quickly and the day ended with Lucy going to her house and getting ready for bed.
(At Lucy's House)
"Mmmm, That feels really good." I groaned as the hot bath water relaxed all the muscles that were used in that last mission. I floated in the water, and I then reached for the soap, lathering my entire body from top to bottom in the flowery smelling soap. I rinsed off and got out of the tub wrapped in my towel and opened the door to my bedroom. Closing the door I reached for my pajamas and put them on getting into my bed and wrapping myself in my quilt and turning to one side of the bed, leaving space for a certain dragon slayer that will most likely visit her in the middle of the night. As she fell asleep she thought of the dream she has had two days in a row.
(In Lucy's Dream)
It was weird, no one could stand up to Natsu's breath attack, especially when he put it into full gear and let out so much power with it too, but he had taken it like it was nothing. "Alright I see that it's going to take more than that to take you down asshole, that's fine with me, but let me tell you one thing messing with MY Lucy will be the last thing you do." Wait a minute, 'my Lucy'? What's he mean by that! I felt my face heat up through the dream and I felt lightheaded for a couple of seconds. No! He could never mean it like that, well whatever, he's going to start fighting in a few seconds.
I start to get up but a sharp twinge of pain went through my ankle and I fell back down on my back, "Ow…"
"Hey Lucy are you alright?" Natsu said loudly over to me. "I'm fine, just twisted my ankle during the escape, probably." I said, sitting up and looking at Natsu's worry ridden eyes. All worry just disappeared as he looked towards his opponent and growled. "This is all your fault. You kidnapped Lucy, and you made me hurt her…" His eyes darkened a few notches and his whole body was enveloped in flames, crackling from the power. "You're going to pay for this…" His eyes closed and his whole body was now covered in scales from his arms to his face and chest. "I'm going to fuck you up…" He said charging to full power and activating Dragon Force without realising it. He looked towards me and his eyes flickered back to his emerald green eyes, and without words I knew he was going to unleash everything he had and he didn't want me to get hurt. So I summoned the clock master and hid in him, and told him to step back far enough but to be close enough to see the fight. Natsu looked back to him and closed his eyes again, and when he opened them they were tinted red with black slits for pupils, he was going to let loose all his power against this guy, not caring if he died or not.
"Oh? So you activated Dragonforce huh? That's fine with me let's do this" He siad powering up as well. "Fire Dragon Iron fist!" Natsu charged him with all his speed and lighting his fist on fire, as he charged the mysterious figure readied his fist and before Natsu could hit him he stuck out his fist and hit Natsu's. Apparently equal in power the explosion overtook them and they both jumped back. "Hmm, quite a power you have there son" he siad shaking his fist around, "Thanks but that was just the first one i'm all fired up now, more than i've ever been before" Natsu said while stretching, "Let's do this, FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK!" He jumped up as high as he could and bring both his fists down as fire span around hitting the guy full on and getting sent back into the tree. "FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" He cupped his hands to his mouth and let out a monstrous stream of fire and hti where the other guy had landed. *BOOM* With the fire crackling away Natsu stumbled back obviously tired after two breath attacks in such a short time. He breathed in as much air as he could, he knew that was nowhere near enough to being that guy down from what he knew about him which was really little. He heard something coming, he readied again and out came out bruised and bloodied and obviously not going to win. Meanwhile, 'Lucy I cannot stay any longer than this! I'm sorry!" He poofed away leaving Lucy on the floor and defenseless. "Hah hah hah, alright you stronger than you seemed but can you protect everyone?" He picked up his hands and pointed it at Natsu. "I will, No matter what!" He shouted back at him. "Sure you can" He charged his spell but before he shot it he turned his hand to Lucy and released the spell. Natsu's eyes opened and he turned on a dime "LUCY!" I turned towards the blade and saw it coming faster and faster, ' this is it, huh. Goodbye Natsu, Everyone, be safe and Natsu?' I turned towards the running Natsu but I noticed something. He was taking off his scarf and he threw it at her as he stood in the way.*PIERCE* The blade went through his chest and now there was a hole in the middle of his chest, he coughed up blood and looked down at Lucy smiling. "Hey, it's okay I protected you…" he dropped to his knees in front of me, bringing his hand up to my head and pushing his forehead against mine, "Be good, Lucy… Protect Happy for me… please…And don't worry about fire" He gave her his star smile "It'll protect you from what I couldn't… Goodbye Lucy..." He said as the warmth of his hands disappeared and he slipped down to his side. I was terrified, I was shaking while I looked down to my left and saw that Natsu had a pool of blood slowly circling him, His body going limp. "N-Na-Natsu?" I reached over to his cheek and it was cold, "Natsu?" I shook him a tiny bit. It was then that I realized that finally, his life was taken while protecting me and he's never coming back. I bit my lip as hard as I could as I felt tears coming down my face and onto the floor. "NATSUUUU!"
(Lucy's Pov)
"NATSUUUU!" I sat up in bed and looked around for him and found him sitting by me on the floor, obviously worried about what had happened in her dream. He was here, he isn't dead and he's in perfect condition, I started to tear up as I jumped into his arms wrapping my arms around his chest and holding on for dear life. "Hey hey hey, what happened? You were having a nightmare and when you woke up you screamed my name!" He said worried sick as he tried to pry me off of him, but he couldn't my grip around him was to hard to break. "I- I thought you died… There Was this guy and you were fighting him and you were winning but he shot at me and, he tried to kill me but you stepped in and it hit you instead and killed you and it was so scary because I thought it was real and and!" I said as quickly as I could, "I was so scared because I thought I lost you… Listen Natsu i'm not going to hide it anymore I love you okay! I don't like when your gone on a mission without me and I actually like it when you sleep in my bed cause it makes me feel safe and I love it when you hug me and just you being around me makes me feel happy, and I just love you okay? I really, really love you." I said, digging my head in his chest. That's when I felt his warm arms around me. "Hey Lucy?" I looked up at him with teary eyes, "I love you too" he said pulling his face down as his lips came into contact with mine, I was surprised but I leaned into the kiss eagerly…
