Natsu fell to his knees, bleeding from his stomach. "Lucy… I'm sorry, I couldn't save you, I wasn't strong enough." He passed out in a pool of blood.

Natsu woke up in the guild house, Gray, Erza, and Happy were standing next to his bed looking worried. Tears filled his eyes, "I couldn't save her" "It wasn't your fault, you had no way of knowing." Said Erza. He felt his stomach it was completely healed, he felt a long scar across his abdomen. Suddenly the roof caved in and a figure landed in front of his bed. He wore a green robe with a hood and black pants. His feet were bare and his hair was a deep red. He looked up at them, his eyes brown like coffee. "Natsu Dragneel, I can revive your precious friend, but you will have to defeat me in order for me to do so."
