Competition for a Heart

Chapter VII: Set To Where It Should Be

What all of them see is an alter made of paper thin rocks that is at least 100 feet high and in the middle of all the rocks is Rin with her rings. She lifts up her ring that blocks fire and suddenly in a burst of red comes Natsu who is unconscious. When everyone sees this they start to run up to Rin, but she thought that this might happen so she brought out her barrier lachrima and activated it.

Lucy, Erza, Gray, and Lissana hit the barrier; however, the barrier takes no damage. Rin glares at them and speaks, "Just because you found me doesn't mean that you won. I am not a dumb armature". Lucy steps up and yells, "It doesn't matter we will beat you and save Natsu", Erza exclaims, "She's right do you think that you can this barrier can stop us forever". Rin says, "I don't care if it lasts forever as long as it stops you from coming near me its fine".

Rin walks towards Natsu and puts her hand on his chest, "All of the steps are almost completed in a couple minutes your soul and power will be mine". Gray gets angry and starts screaming, "Natsu, you idiot fire neotard wake up now before I drop kick you". Lissana then yells, "You shouldn't be the one captured, it's not you".

Suddenly the alter starts to glow with Natsu and Rin, "You all are too late, it's starting". Lucy Screams, "I won't give up, Open gate of the Maiden: Virgo, Open Gate of the Lion Loke". "You called princess", they both say. "Break this barrier down so we can rescue Natsu", she says. Alter she says this Loke punches the barrier with his regulaus powers and Virgo uses her legs to kick it.

The barrier breaks and Lucy closes their gates because she is running out of magic. They all run to the alter to save Natsu. "You didn't do anything, I'll just use my rings to cancel out all of your magic" Rin says. Lucy realized this and took out her whip to snap it at Rin so she can release her grip on Natsu. As Natsu falls Gray runs towards him to catch him, "I have him, now you can go all out" he yells.

Rin gets angry and teleports away from the alter and appears next to Natsu and Gray. Erza runs towards them and yells, "Get away" and Rin teleports away again. She reappears next to Lucy and Lissana and punches them, but they take the hit and Lucy tackles her. "It's over, Natsu is safe and your ritual is over" she exclaims. Rin starts screaming, "This will not end. If I am still alive it won't end and he will be mine one day".

Lucy says, "No, he won't be yours. I will always be by his side to make sure you can never get him again". Erza, Gray and Lissana look at Lucy with a smile and tie up Rin.

Couple Hours Later

Natsu wakes up in the guild while everyone stares at him, "How did I fall asleep and why are you looking at me like I just came back to life" he says. Lucy says to him, "I will tell you later, you are safe and that's all that matters to me". Lissana walks up to Lucy and says, "Its ok you can tell win you win only for now because if you make him unhappy I will be there". Lucy looks back to Natsu and says, "Natsu for the past week when you think you have been lucky, it was really me and Lissana competing for you. It looks like I win so I want to say that I like you".

Natsu looks at her stunned and then gets serious and says, "Lucy did you really think that I would just like whoever won this competition". She gets a surprised look on her face, then Natsu says, "You should be lucky that you won because I like you too". Natsu and Lucy hug each other and the guild cheers while Lissana and Gray realize what they want will not happen.

Natsu and Lucy walk home after spending some time at the guild. Now that they are together Lucy will not yell at him any more for going over to her house whenever he wants and Natsu stops calling Lucy weird.
