"Ice-Make: Geyser!"
"Water Slicer!"

Gray and Juvia had stayed behind to fight a group of thugs they encountered in order for Natsu to go ahead and find Lucy as quick as possible. "This isn't a place for kids, go home!" yelled one of the hugs that was holding a sword and dashed towards Gray. "Ice Bringer!" shouted the ice mage and two curved swords of ice generated in his hands, which with he slashed the thug and sent him flying backwards.

"What's wrong with this woman's body?" yelled the group of thugs who was shooting at Juvia with magic bullets. "Juvia's body is made of water… you cannot hit me! Water Lock!" replied Juvia and attacked them back. "Just how many are they damn it?" asked Gray out loud as he took a step back and met Juvia's own back. "This is taking ages…" Juvia agreed.

"Try to gather them all in that spot, can you?" he instructed as he pointed to a tree near them. "Leave it to me." she smiled. "Water Cane!" she said and gathered the thugs in the spot that Gray had told her, beating them as well. "Ice Make : Prison!" Gray finished, creating an ice cage around the thugs, trapping them in there.

"Good job, Gray-sama!" Juvia cheered at him and Gray smiled. "You too. Come on, we need to find Natsu and Lucy." He said and extended his hand to her. "Okay." she said and took it. "Oi! You're gonna leave us here?" yelled the thugs from the cage. "You'll pay for this, kids!" but they were ignored.

Suddenly, Gray and Juvia sensed someone. Their eyes widened and they both turned around. "Where do you think you're going?" said a voice they didn't recognize.

A pair of mages was hovering in the air in front of them, a man and a woman standing back to back. The both of them were quite young and tall, though the man a little taller than the woman. His hair was white to silver, short and a little spiky but downwards. His clothing was black. The woman's hair was long, red and tied to a high ponytail and some of it was falling to her face's sides. She wore a white strapless dress that was short in the front and long from behind and also red high heels. They were making quite the contrast.

"Who are you!" demanded Gray and stood a little before Juvia as he sensed their high magical power. "Oh? Eager to fight, is he not, Elda ?" "I kinda like this man, Elden." spoke the woman. "I won't forgive you if you betray me, Elda." told her the man. "Juvia won't forgive you either!" panicked Juvia, pointing to the woman, blushing.

"I asked who you are!" repeated Gray, pointing ice arrows he had just made, ready to hit them if needed. "Jeez…more freaks keep appearing…what's wrong with this forest!" he complained. "Hold it there, Ice Mage…we don't plan to fight. That's what we came to say." Gray looked at them puzzled.

"We are Nebulus Arcus's rest mages. Elden and Elda. The person who hurt your friend is Oneiria." He explained calmly. "Normally we're a small team – guild we formed some time ago. But Oneiria has lost it lately… She thinks that humans can actually set foot in the Dragon Realm, when it's actually not even sure that something like this exists…" he said in a rather mocking face and voice. "So she lured your friends here." Added the woman. "But I don't think she can handle the Salamander… that man is way too strong…well, serves her right!" she said and laughed, putting her hand before her mouth.

"Nebulus Arcus?" questioned Gray himself. "Juvia has heard of them once. They're quite strong…" she tried to say calmly. "Don't worry little raindrop, we just wanted to clear our intentions." said Elden to Juvia, winking at her. "Well then, take care, lovebirds!" finished the woman and with that they both disappeared in a mist of darkness.

Juvia sighed relieved and Gray looked at her. "Let's go." he said and they headed to where Natsu had gone.


"Come, join the fun , dragon boy." Oneiria invited Natsu gesturing at him to go to her. Natsu's body was blazing with crimson fire, his eyes looking at her with so much hatred. If looks could kill, this woman would be dead by now. "Don't you… FUCK WITH ME!" he growled and rushed at her with his fists on fire.

"Karyu no Tekken!" Natsu punched the woman multiple times but she dodged his fists. "Kagitsume!" he continued, attempting to hit her with his feet but Oneiria backed away. "Tch. Why are you attacking me, Salamander?" asked the woman annoyed. " Don't you know it's this woman's and her magic's fault that you can't meet who you're looking for anymore?"

"What did you say." Natsu said in anger. "Kill her and you'll be meeting your father again." she encouraged him. Natsu gritted his teeth. "I'd rather die than kill my friends, even if what you said was true. BEGONE, BITCH!" he roared and dashed at her again.

"Karyu no Koen!" he thundered and threw a large fireball at her. "So that's how you wanna play, dragon slayer." Oneiria told to herself, getting angry. " Nightmare Stream!" she countered and their attacks created a large explosion and smoke covered the area.

I'm going to give you a trip to hell, Natsu Dragneel. Oneiria's eyes flashed with red, an evil grin on her face as she activated her Illusion magic again. Natsu who had been hit a little by the powerful spells, looked around for her, coughing. Where is she? Smelling the air, he caught her scent. He was about to attack her again when he felt his surroundings change.

Natsu found himself in a green forest. He knew this forest. It was where he and Igneel used to live. "Igneel! Where are you? Igneel?" Natsu felt the same feelings as the day he realized that Igneel had left him. He was sinking in despair. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and turned around. "Lisanna!" he cried. Before he could rejoice, Lisanna was suddenly thrown away by a huge fist that belonged to a monster. Natsu tried to reach her but before he could she had already dissolved to a golden glitter. Natsu felt sorrow and loneliness surround him. He was all alone. A strong light appeared before him then and Lucy stand in front of him, her body sparkling. "Lucy!" Natsu rushed to her, extending his hand towards her as if to catch her and she smiled at him lovingly. Just when he was about to touch her, Lucy had disappeared, in her place a tombstone with her name on it. Natsu's mouth fell open and tears started to run down his face. "LUCYYYYY!" he yelled. DAMN IT! DAMN IT" he yelled aloud and punched the ground with his fists." Give her back. GIVE HER BACK!" he cried but the tears would not stop. Natsu wanted to just die.

He then felt something hit him in the back and slowly he was back to reality. Turning around he saw his blue loyal friend. "Happy!" he said surprised. "What happened to me?" he asked as he touched his face and felt fresh tears in his eyes. " You were yelling on your own so I tackled you and you came around, I guess." explained the Exceed. " Oneiria of Nebulus Arcus… she uses Illusion Magic. This woman is dangerous, Natsu. Hurry up and defeat her!" Happy informed him in a panic.

Natsu sighed and wiped his tears away. "Thanks." he said and turned to look at Oneiria who was flying in the air in front of him in a seated stance, her hand supporting her chin as she looked at him with a sly interest. "So what's why you won't kill her." she played with him. "I see … But…it ends here… Eclipse Omen: DEATH!" she yelled at him, getting up and extending her arm towards him.

Natsu looked at her dead serious. He slowly walked towards her, his eyes never leaving her form. "Listen here, stupid woman…talking like you know me, you seriously piss me off…" he said quietly but in a threatening voice, his whole body engulfed in strong flames "…first you mess with Lucy, then with my memories… you can't just get away with it now…"

Just then a really powerful stream of darkness encircled the ground beneath him and Oneiria grinned evilly as it hit him. "I-Impossible! H-He should be dead!" she blinked as she saw that Natsu wasn't affected by it at all, his fire lighting the whole place, blinding her. "…I'll show you that messing with Fairy Tail mages was a BIG MISTAKE!" Rage overpowered him, his mouth started to get stuffed with fire and Oneiria trembled in fear.

"KARYU NO HOKO!" he breathed at her, landing a direct, powerful hit on her.

"DAMN YOU, DRAGON SLAYER!" the woman echoed in pain and fell on the ground, her body roasted and she had completely lost consciousness. "Good job, Natsu!" cheered Happy. Natsu stared at her for a bit, panting and then he run to where Lucy was lying on her stomach.

Gently rolling her on her back, he placed an arm behind her head and took her hand in his. He gently shook her, worry in his black eyes. "Lucy?" he breathed but the girl didn't respond. "Oi, Lucy! Wake up!" he shook her again, getting upset. "Damn it all…I was too late." he said, burying his face in her neck. "Natsu…" whispered Happy softly in a sad voice. "I'm going to find Gray and Juvia and tell them you found her, okay?" he told him but Natsu didn't respond. Happy stared at him for a bit and then he flew away.

"Why did you have to come here alone…?" Natsu continued in her neck, his voice breaking. Suddenly he felt someone near him. Looking up he faced a person.

Words couldn't really describe this ethereal being. A young woman with long, blond, wavy hair and green eyes dressed in white stared at him. She didn't wear any shoes and Natsu noticed two big shiny wings on her back. Her whole body was bathed in a warm light. "A F-Fairy?" Natsu said dumbfounded. " This girl…she's gonna be alright. So don't worry…she just got too exhausted." smiled the girl at him kindly, her voice like a melody.

Natsu found himself unable to reply. "This way… it's a shortcut to the town. Hurry, she needs to rest." She told him again, pointing with her finger. "T-Thank you." was all Natsu could say.

Taking Lucy in his arms, he slowly got up and placed her head on his lap. He watched the woman disappear and he started to run towards the direction she had just shown him.
