A/N: Hi, this is Hannah. I'm writing this chapter. Sorry if Natsu/END seem OOC I'm not entirely sure how that would be, as Lucy doesn't meet END in the manga. Also, sorry if Jet and Droy are OOC.

Lucy's P.O.V.

As I continued to hike up the mountain, I saw an explosion.

"Natsu!" I shouted.

I paused for a moment before sprinting. If that was Natsu I had to find him.

Natsu's P.O.V.

Almost there, I almost have control over my body back. I thought before END pushed me back down(figuratively).

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" END (I?) growled as he (I?) punched a large boulder. END had total control over me. Nothing I tried could suppress his (my?) rage and violence.

Jet and Droy came into view. It appeared Droy had been hit by a piece of the boulder when it blew up and went flying in all directions.

"Natsu, where have you been? Lucy's worried sick, everyones been looking for you!" Droy shouted before he noticed my face and arm.

END lunged. Jet and Droy went flying backwards, out of sight.

Suddenly I heard Lucy's voice.

"Natsu!" she was calling.

I tried even harder than before to control END, if he caused me to hurt Lucy... I didn't know what I'd do. I saw Lucy's face come into view.

"Natsu! You're okay!" she cried as she ran towards me.

"Lucy- Don't- Come any- Closer!" I managed to say before my energy was completely gone, and I was succumbed to END's darkness.

Lucy's P.O.V.

"Lucy- Don't- Come any- Closer!" Natsu said, seeming to struggle.

I slowed to a walk.

"Natsu, what-" I started before I noticed Natsu looked strange. "What's going on?"

Natsu was breathing heavily. His face obscured by shadows, one of Natsu's hands had turned into a black claw. I moved back a little.

"Natsu..." I whispered.

Jet came into sight from my left. He was trying to prop up Droy, who appeared to be unconscious.

"Lucy, help me take Droy and run! Natsu's acting weird!" Jet said.

"I think I know what's wrong." I said quietly.

"Well, what is it?" Jet asked.

"On the mountain, when Zeref showed up... He said something about Natsu being END." I said, looking at the ground.

Jet was silent.

"You should go. I think I can snap him out of it." I said.

"What?! Are you crazy?! He'll obliterate you if you can't!" Jet shouted.

"Please. This is something I have to do." I said, looking at Jet, confident.

"Okay," Jet said. "But if anything happens, Makarov is gonna kill me for leaving you to fight a demon of the books of Zeref by yourself."

I watched as he started struggling to move Droy down Mount Hakobe. I then turned to face END.
