Your reviews really make my day. Thank you everyone. Here comes the next chapter. I've worked hard on this chapter. Hope you'd enjoy it. Plot is getting more and more suspicious. Cross my hands that nothing shall happen to Lucy and hope that everything's going to be fine.

Chapter-6 Intruders.

She woke up but she was still feeling numb. She couldn't move. Only thing she could do was open her eyes. She could hear some footsteps. She pretended to be still unconscious. She heard the door open.

"Valor, your magic is quite effective. You shouldn't doubt it. No one can use his or her magic under yours, not in this world at least. Look she is still unconscious", said a female's voice.

"Rin, did you forget that… this girl's a maiden. We cannot underestimate her. We have to be very careful until we succeed in our plans…," said the man moving over to the window. He looked outside and then at the unconscious girl.

"Gosh, she is so much like her… thinking about her… makes me feel furious… She is so much like her- both in appearance and personality… She reminds me of her… And… When I remember her, I only remember her betrayal… How she betrayed our master… How much he loved her…but her? She turned out to be a traitor… It's killing for me", said the man, tears running down his face but he was still furious.

"Valor, There's nothing we could do, can we? We have to wait until the right time. We have to wait, Valor, wait till he comes back… till we find out a way for that… till then she is important to us. We have to spare her till then…", her voice turned into a sobbing.

Lucy could hear the footsteps fading with the door closing behind. They warned the guards to be alert and not to let her escape.

Lucy opened her eyes. That was the only thing she could do. She couldn't understand what they meant- so much like her… betrayal… master… 'She' couldn't possibly be… no way! Her thoughts went like this. However, she could do nothing but look at stars. She wanted to yell… wanted to runaway to her friends… She felt so secure with them… how uncomfortable and insecure she felt in that place. She could hardly speak. She was almost dying. A tear made it down from her eyes and she hardly uttered his name before passing out.

"Na…tsu"

"Natsu was standing infront of a large statue that was like a princess. In front of his eyes was a large pillar of ice. He could hear everyone shout, "Lucy". In front of him stood a man, with an evil smile on his face, in darkness. He could hardly see his face. Tears were flowing down his face, but why? What happened to Lucy?

"Na… tsu""

Natsu woke up finally. He heard her again and a pain hit him right in the chest.

"It's her again… But the dream is it true… then, she is in danger. I can feel that. I've got to find her as soon as possible," he thought.

He looked around to see where he was. He was in a big room, well tidied up. The window was open letting in fresh air. It was night outside. He could see the stars through the window. As leant on the windowsill, he saw a different world- there was greenery all around but this world smelt different from Earthland or Edolas.

"What is this world?" he thought.

Soon, his thoughts turned to Lucy. A sudden gust of wind hit him in his nose. It was filled with the smell… the smell of his best nakama-Lucy! His eyes widened at her smell. He was tracing her since she was missing yet he couldn't find her. However, today it was as if the wind was carrying her scent to him… so that he could find her. It felt strange. Then, he remembered something. It was Erza, Happy, Gray, Wendy, Carla and Hibiki. Where were they? He remembered a white aura surrounding all of them and then, they all disappeared. His thoughts went like this when he heard the door open.

A 35- year woman with gray hair entered the room. She was dressed like an oracle with a staff in her hand, which had a violet crystal ball on it.

"So you're awake my child" she said.

"Yeah, a kind of" he said.

"Natsu, my child I have a request of you and your friends," said the woman.

"Who are you? How did you know my name? Where are my friends?" he questioned.

"I'm Irina, the oracle in this world", she said.

"This world, what do you mean?" he asked.

"If I begun telling you about this world, I'm afraid we'll lose her. I want you know that you're friends are safe and are still unconscious. I want you to see something", said Irina.

She held the crystal ball down for him to see. The ball began glowing and soon some kind of image began forming on it. Natsu observed carefully what it was. It was Lucy! She was unconscious. She was looking so weak. Where was she?

"Natsu"

He heard her voice. His eyes widened. A strange pain struck him in his chest.

"Lucy… Hold on, I'm coming" he said.

"I will, Natsu"

He heard her speak. He was helpless. His friend was in pain and he couldn't do anything. He then roared in pain.

"You are our princess' friend, right. We want you to rescue her. Otherwise the consequences might be bad. Will you do this for us? For the princess?" she asked. Tears filled her eyes.

"I don't understand what you say. I only know that Lucy is our friend and I'll do anything to save her," he said. He was all fired up.

"Thank you, child. I'd be able to explain you the entire thing soon after you rescue the princess. You have to hurry. It might be suicidal for the princess to stay there where she is. Her strength is leaving her." Irina said.

The door bang opened and a blue haired 17 year old girl entered the room.

"Irina, All are awake and we've explained them all we could. They are all prepared to help. We can now move towards the castle," she said.

"Good, Azura. Now, Natsu, Please come down and eat something that will give you some energy. Soon after, we can go to the castle to rescue the princess," said Irina, showing him the way to the dining hall. Everyone was at the dining table. Natsu saw that all were safe. He gave a goofy grin that cheered them all.

Azura and a red haired girl of the same age were serving them. The red haired girl introduced herself as Rosella. They both thanked them all for helping them.

"No actually, it because she our friend why we are doing this" said Erza.

"So, the people have brought them to this world. Let's give them their biggest welcome when they come to the castle- WELCOME PARTY TO INTRUDERS, they are not going to get away so easily", said the man with black cold eyes when he knew the news regarding the arrival of Team Natsu and Hibiki.

As soon as they finished their breakfast, they began discussing their plan for the attack. Thought they didn't know which world they were in, they didn't know whom they were fighting with, they only knew one thing- Lucy is their comrade, their nakama, their friend and she had to be rescued. They were all prepared for the war!

So, how was it? Please review if you have read it. I've worked really hard on the story.

Anyways, who is she? What is her betrayal? Who is the master? What will happen to Lucy? Will Natsu's dream become the truth? Will they rescue Lucy? Or will Lucy have to die? Find out in the next chapter.
