Storm's POV

What is happening? What is going on? In the distance I heard a voice, "Have fun, little princess." His voice echoed throughout the darkness that surrounds me. Little princess? I immediately thought of Luna, that guy, that thing, called Luna that. "Luna! Is that you!?" I yelled. I closed my eyes, pretending we were running around the guild. I hate the darkness so much.

"Storm?" I barely heard it, almost a whisper. "Yeah! It's me! Is that you Luna?!" I yell back to the nothingness spread before me. "Storm! Where are you! I can't see anything! Are you okay? Do you know what is happening?" I run towards the direction in which her voice was coming from.

"Luna! I'm coming!" I yell.

"Storm!? Luna!? What's going on, why can't I see," I slow down as another voice appeared. "Koku!?" I yell.

"Yeah!?"I heard him reply.

"Run towards the sound of my voice, I'm going towards Luna! Luna! You too! Keep talking!" Luna began to sing instead, trying to keep her voice steady, as the fear began to shake her words.

"Old friend, I can see you, you're right there, old friend, I swear, the bond between us will never be broken, you start walking in the infinite wilderness, hold back tears, and move towards tomorrow, I'm the star that's meant for you, so I shine bright, this song is meant for you, so show me your smile."

"Keep going Luna!" I yell, just as I bump into something, a chorus of 'ow's' echoed, and the singing stopped.

"Koku? Luna?" I asked. "Yes Storm?" They both replied, their voices right in my ear. "Oh thank goodness!" I pulled them both in for a hug.

"Is this a dream?" I heard Luna ask, as I held their hands, so we don't lose each other. "Honestly, I don't know what this is."

Koku suddenly stiffened. "Koku, what's wrong?"

The young boy replied, "I'd heard something." Listening more carefully, I heard it too, a moan of pain.

"I think the others are here too," Koku said, pulling Luna and I somewhere.

"Luka!? Rose!?" A faint yet audible sound came from the direction we were heading.

"Storm? What are you doing in my dream?" Rose's voice sounded sleepy.

"I don't think this is a dream Rose, keep talking, we need to find you." I replied.

"We?"

"I'm here, and so is Koku, and Luna," I could feel Luna trying desperately to find her friend, "Hey Rose, come look for us, follow our voi!..."

I felt Luna fall, and I fell with her, pulling Koku with me too. "Ouchy, my face," I heard the two girls say. Then out of nowhere I heard laughter, the sweet sound of laughter.

"I can't believe we bumped into each other's faces!" yelled Luna, "Hey, give me your hand, so we don't lose each other."

"Hey Luna, why don't you just use your fire as a light source? So we can see?" I then heard the sound of a slap.

"Shoot, why didn't I think of that! Thanks Luka!" And the young mage let go of my hand. "Luka?"

Luna's fire illuminated the small group and Luka was standing there, "Hey guys, what's up?"

I pulled them all in for a group hug, as Luna held the light above all of us.

And then it went dark again. "Huh? That's weird. My flames, they're gone. My magic, it's not working." The fear and dread in her voice was audibly clear.

"It's okay Luna, we'll be fine, we have each other," said Luka, as we all laced our fingers together once more.

"Any idea how we got here?" I asked, "More like what we're doing here?"

"What do you guys remember last? Maybe that will help us," replies Rose.

"His voice!" Luna yelled, making me jump. "He said something like, 'You'll regret crossing me, because now, you and your guild will suffer immensely,' and he also said to me, 'Have fun, little princess,' and I believe we were all getting ready to go to bed, I collapsed… as I was walking to my bed…" she said as her voice trailed off.

"I collapsed too, meaning we all must've collapsed, but if we collapsed at the guild, then how are we here?" I asked, eager to find answers.

"Luna you okay?" I heard Rose ask. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just scared, really scared," she replied.

"Maybe...maybe we aren't here, like with our bodies, but with our minds? Our families are probably worried sick, being unable to wake us up," said Koku.

"You're probably right, that thing probably trapped our minds in darkness as payback for what we did," said Luka, "Why don't we sit? I have a feeling we're going to be here for awhile."

Natsu's POV

"No way Natsu, just absolutely not! That's insane!" Erza yelled at me. "Why not? It'll lure him out, and we'll get him!" I retaliated.

"But what if you get sick huh? What if it gets all of us sick, and we never wake up from that sickness slumber, ever again!?" Erza was stressed, it flowed with every word she said.

"He may be right Erza." We all looked at Makarov as he stood there, "The stress of having children, and your will is colliding Erza, why don't you relax for a little bit? Go to the pool for a few hours." Erza stalked off to go cool off and think over things.

"I have an idea!" I know exactly how to find out more information, it's crazy, but if it helps us get our children back, it's worth it. I stood there smiling like a maniac towards my fellow teammates.

"What is your idea Natsu?" Lucy asked, with hope filling her eyes.

"Why don't we go after the stone ourselves, lure him out, and get more info," I said with pride.

"Are you crazy flame-breath! What if we end up like our children?!" Gray yelled.

"We'll never know unless we try, and it's FOR our children, I want to save them as much as you do popsicle princess!" I yelled back.

I took a glance at Lucy, as the hope was slowly draining from her eyes.

"Natsu, what do we do, if we try that, and we end up killing our children, that person-thing, he's in control of their minds right now, I..I don't want that to happen to them." Lucy said, as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Luce, we've got to try, I've got to try, I miss them too." I say, trying to get Lucy to calm down.

We continue our journey back home, and I tell my idea to Gramps, but then he walked off, leaving Erza to yell at me, but now he's telling me I'm right.

"Natsu, I give you permission to try this, but do not do anything that will put your life in danger, you got that? Because when all this is over, you will have your children waiting for you, with a smile on their face. I'll have someone notify their principal of this… predicament, so they are excused from school." And with that, Makarov went to sit at the bar, to watch over his children.
