"Celestial mage, how good of you to join me here." Lullaby says from his throne. Lucy and Happy are frozen to their spots. Lucy can't even mutter up a squeak. Finally after gathering her courage she says,

"Where's Erza?" She clenches her fists and moves her hands slowly to her keys.

"Not here. But I guess you people took the bait didn't you?" The beast laughed that sounded like a roar.

"What do you mean by, bait?" Lucy said as Happy moved to hide behind her leg.

"She was never really missing. She was spending her time up on a mountain." The beast smiled and licked his lips.

"A mountain?" Lucy looks down at Happy who shrugs and slowly starts to crawl towards the door. "Happy! You cowardly cat!" Lucy looks over at Lullaby who is breathing through his mouth.

"I have a question." Lullaby asks.

"So do I." Lucy says standing as still as possible.

"Oh, I bet you do." He laughs his roar again this time vibrating the walls and making pillows of dust come out from the ceiling.

"Why did you take over Natsu sometimes and then leave him perfectly fine the next?" Lucy asked angrily.

"Ahaha! Calm down Celestial mage, all in good time." He breathes heavily again. "My question is what your doing here with another person."

Lucy's eyes widen into saucers. "He's not a person, he's just a cat!"

"Then why is he flying back to where they are!?" Lullaby yells getting to his feet. Lucy turns around to find Happy gone. Such a cowardly cat, but maybe he can get people here in time. A hand reaches out and grabs Lucy around the waist. She screams as her keys drop to the floor, her only source of power.

"Do you know why I choose the dragon mage?" Lullaby sneers into a question. Lucy screams again as if that was the answer.

"Because he was the closet one to you. You see I needed a celestial mage to complete a plan." He breathes again right in her face. She shudders and struggles to get away, but it's no use Lullaby has to much power.

"I need you to open a gate. A gate to let all the demons and monsters back through. And if you don't help me, well you know the answer." He throws her to the ground with enough force that Lucy's arm almost snaps. She screams again as Lullaby steps over her and goes towards his throne again.

"This is not me asking. So you will do it." Lullaby shouts again. Where were her friends when she needed them most?
