Both ran to the house and up the stairs. They slowly opened the door to find an empty crib with a note in it.

SHES MY EXPERIMENT NOW AND MY NEW END HOPE YOU BOTH ARE HAPPY - ZEREF

Lucy held the note out, but as soon as Natsu touched it, pain racked through his body again, and he felt worse than his weeks in Zeref's lab.

Lucy held him. "It'll be... Okay..." She sounded worse than before. "W-e... Can fix this..."

Erza and Gray soon burst through the door.

They always checked on Lucy durning the days Natsu was gone, but heard that she was more distressed than usual so we're more inclined to quickly check on her.

"Lucy! What happened?!" Erza knew if her situation, and was even more surprised to see Natsu unconscious in her arms.

"I... Do...nt know..." She could barley speak through her tears. "H..e too..k Nas..hi Ag...ain..."

Gray stepped back. It was only after a long battle against Zeref that he was convinced END wasn't evil. He wasn't going to get mixed up in this again, especially not after what happened with Invel.

"You don't think he'll go after any of the rest of our children" Erza panicked instantly thinking of Rosemary.

"Who knows our entire next generation of fairy tail members could be in danger and I'm not repeating last time so I'm out" Gray yelled as he started to walk out.

"What if it was Juvia or the twins Gray would you give up like this" Natsu said as he gained back consciousness.

"Gray, Invel isn't around you don't need to worry about it, but if we never get Nashi back we will have an uncontrollable END on our hands" Lucy said trying to convince Gray.

"Alright, I'll do it but not for lame brain over there, but because I know if Nashi were either of the twins I would fight till I was dead"Gray said in his usual gruff.

"Alright then it's agreed we go after Zeref. Well I'm going to head out first to get him weakened" Natsu said as he jumped out the window and released his etherious form and flew away.

"Natsu wait" Lucy cried out all but to late. "You're just as hot headed as ever"Lucy said not surprised.
