-Natsu's P.O.V.-
"Gajeel, it is time to attack"
"Gihehe, no need to tell me twice Salamander."
Damnit! Where the hell is that long haired bastard? Call me impatient but I just want all of the basterds to be dead for what they are planning to do to Fairy Tail. I'm not even paying attention to my surroundings until Gray stops me, "what" I growled at him.
"Do you hear that?" He whispers.
"Natsu! Gray! Come to the North hallway now!" I hear Erza yell into the earpiece. Luckily we are already in that hallway so we follow the noise that I assume is Kyoka. Not too long I see Erza peeking through the entrance of the door with eyes of fear. Without thought, I hear a girl scream, 'shit!' I can never forget that scream so I run up to the door and bust it open to see three figures. I remember who they are by their pictures. I see Kyoka, Mard Geer, and….worst of all…Lucy covered in blood and chained to the wall.
"LUCY!" I scream, causing Kyoka and Mard Geer attention to fall on me.
There is a gun shot that I assume came from Erza because it grazed Kyoka, I look behind me to see that Erza grabbed a nearby sword and she lunged towards her. Jellal did the same but he had his switchblades on him.
In one swift movement I see Erza cut off Lucy's chains and help her up.
Gray made his first punch on Mard Geer and I went up to Lucy, checking her bruises, but she is still able to sad herself…how does this woman do it? "Lucy! What did they do to you? I'll kill all of them" I said when I see a wound on her forehead causing blood to drip down her face, a gun cuts all over her arms and stomach from her ripped clothes, and the whitness in her face telling me that exhausted.
"Take care of Mard Geer Natsu, I'll take care of Lucy" Jellal said and I nodded.
"No!" Lucy said, "I will not run away when your lives are in danger. I will not be the one to watch by the sidelines!"
"This is not the time for this Lucy! You are too injured and I'm not letting you die today" I yell, not giving a damn about her opinion.
"Jellal take her no-", Lucy uses her body to push me over and she ended up taking the fall with me. I'm stunned but I look over to see Mard Geer disappointed by his missed gunshot.
"Get your damn head in the game Natsu because I am not leaving" Lucy said and held out a hand. As I took it she silently whispered, "I'm not leaving because it's always more fun when we are together".
My eyes widen and I hate it how she can always talk to me with such a demanding but sweet voice, "You better promise to survive this battle because we will be together forever from now on" I said in a demanding voice and she nodded. I quickly turn around and join in with Gray on fighting Mard Geer, out of nowhere I see Lucy take a nearby bow and arrow and shot a nearby guard right between his eyes, knocking him straight out. Mard Geer was distracted so I land a punch on him, making him fly towards Gray who pulled a gun and pointed it straight at the man's stomach. Gray shot the gun causing Mard Geer to cower in pain due to the straight shot through his stomach. "Natsu, I will finish this guy off. Let's just say that this is my revenge for killing my Father, got it!" I give her an earpiece so I can keep track of her and she puts it in her ear.
"Heh, well no luck to you because I know I can trust you" I smirked and ran in the same direction Lucy ran off to, knowing full well that she is about to get herself into danger.
Running down the hall I hear the sound of fighting from my teammates but I pay no attention to it because I know my team is strong and I don't doubt that they will end up fulfilling their mission. "Levy, do you still have access to the camera?" I say into the earpiece and hoping to God that she isn't in the battle with Torafuzer because fighting isn't really her specialty.
"Yes I do Natsu, what do you need?"
"I need you to try to find what room Lucy is in"
"Give me a minute"
There is silence for two minutes so I hide in a nearby crevas so I don't have to deal with anyone right now, "She is near the main corridor to the right. There will be a hallway so take the third room to the left, you got it?" Levy said quietly. "Yes, thank you Levy".
After what feels forever, I hear a girl screaming so I rush to the source of sound and I run but keep quiet not to blow my cover, but now I regret it. NO! The blood curling scream gets even louder and louder by the second. I can't take my eyes off of the scene of the lifeless body that is held up by a tall and built man. How did they get her!? It's all my fault, why the hell does it need to be her! Tears start to gather in my eyes, but I don't dare let them fall.
I don't care who it is, but I will kill the bitch who did this.
I will kill the bitch who just killed her.
I will eliminate the one who killed you Wendy.
-Third Person-
-With Lucy-
Once Lucy was able to convince Natsu to not have to leave the fight she immediately ran off, knowing full well on where she needs to go. Before Loke left her she was able to remember the layouts of the building due to her photogenic memory which was a blessing and a curse on having. This time she was thankful because Kyoka and Mard Geer let out some information without them noticing.
After a while of going through the long hallways, Lucy finally makes her way to Zeref's office but he isn't in there. She decides to just sit in his desk chair until he returns, which feels like forever so she just twists around in the chair to cure her boredom. 'wow, it's been forever since I've don't this. Usually my dad would get mad at me when I played with his stuff in his room' Lucy thinks, chuckling at the thought.
"You having fun there bloundie?" says a man who just entered the room so she stopped to see Zeref. Lucy stops and has a sweatdrop over her face. "Ummm…" Lucy clears her throat to make the mood serious.
"How did you get out of the torture room? Seems like Kyoka isn't as well put together as reliable as I thought" he rolls his eyes.
"Didn't I tell you? Backup was going to be coming." Lucy said with a smirk.
"No you didn't kiddo"
"oh…uhhh… wellI might've forgot" the blounde said with a sweat drop.
Zeref just takes the seat from across the desk and sighs, "This whole war thing is really getting on my nerves so how about you give up and give me Fairy Glitter, it will save a bunch of time instead of me having to use face to destroy Fairy Tail".
"And why do you suddenly care on not wanting to destroy us? You killed my parents in cold blood and you have set out your men to hurt others in my gang. Why should I believe you?" Lucy said and raised her hands to support her chin, giving a look of pure anger.
"I couldn't care less about any of you guys, Mavis is the one who created the gang so that is why I don't really want to destroy the gang but duty calls are too important now. I have to do what I have to do and killing your parents seemed like the best option at the time" Zeref said, crossing his arms and gave a devilish smirk. "Now, give over the drug or else everyone you love will die by my hand, not just the ones' that are here, but the ones at the base".
Lucy knew that there was no kidding to his words and she wasn't going to let any of that happen to them.
"Go ahead, I was already left behind by my team" Lucy said in a convincing voice.
"If you don't care, then go ahead a kill Natsu Dragneel right now…No, I know you won't be able to do that so go and kill his little sister. Kill Wendy Dragneel and that will cause you to be kicked out of the gang and I will rethink on activating the face project on Fairy Tail.
Lucy's widened in fear and anger. "Hell no! I will not do that!"
"If you don't do it, I will have no choice" Zeref said, holding up a syringe that she assumed was filled with poison. "Don't you dare and think about injecting me with this or else I will kill your precious Natsu." Zeref said with a devilish smirked and Lucy was frozen in sadness and anguish.
"F-fine… I'll do it…" Lucy hesitated to say.
"Wow, just to save your boyfriend you would actually kill his sister? Such a horrible person you are. I just should kill you right now for this, but I want to see the show first". Zeref said and snapped his fingers. After that signal, A random man busted through the doors and was holding up a beat up blunette girl. Wendy was already able to defeat Ezel but was still hurt badly from the fight due to him being so much bigger than her.
Wendy looked up at Lucy who stood up with the strynge in her hand, the young girl already heard everything that was said and already heard Lucy said…already heard that Lucy agreed to kill her. From that statement, Wendy was terrified and felt betrayed. 'who could this be the girl who protected me by almost dying herself? Is this really how she feels? How could she betray the love that we all gave her!?"
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS! WHY ARE YOU BETRAYING ALL OF US LIKE THIS! PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME, PLEASE" Before she could say anything she was punched in the stomach by the man who was holding her captive and Lucy was still walking towards her, holding a switch blade in her left hand and the poison needle in her right. Wendy wasn't able to catch her breath, so she just stayed silent then felt Lucy plunge the blade straight in her stomach and she let out a scream.
In her last moments before she loses her counciousness from the blood loss, she hears a whisper. "This is my only choice…I'm sorry. Goodbye Wendy, live your life to the fullest" Lucy said and Wendy felt something drip on her shoulder and she plunge the item that rested on her neck.
"Why…" Wendy says and then her eyesight went black and passed out.
*BAM*
The man who was originally holding Wendy dropped down to the floor with a bullet straight to the head.
"WENDY!" Comes a scream that Lucy recognized in a second, it was Natsu screaming the girls name because he saw her lifeless body on the floor.
He looked up at the two figures in the room to see a man with black hair and a women with blonde women
'What the hell, please tell me that this is some sick joke!'
"YOU FUCKING TRAITOR" Natsu screamed at the women he loved…but he doesn't know how to feel anymore
Lucy was about to cry but held back the tears because this was what she expected was going to happen. She looks up at the pinkette with cold eyes and turned her gaze to Zeref, holding up a gun to his direction, "Are you happy now?" Lucy said coldly.
"Very, betraying your lover like that was very amusing to me…too bad it wasn't enough to convince m-" Zeref was cut off when he saw something completely unexpected, he saw Natsu hit Lucy square in the jaw with tears threatening to fall. Lucy fell to the ground totally surprised on what happened, but tried to ignore the sadness of what she felt.
Natsu wanted to hurt her, to break her for killing his little sister for a reason he didn't know, but he knew for sure he would never believe. Although, it did hurt for him to hurt her…but he couldn't tolerate seeing his family get hurt.
Lucy gets up, still in agony from the harsh hit and from her wounds starting to open up.
"Go ahead and hate me Natsu…But I will kill him before you can kill me" Lucy says quiet enough for only Natsu to hear. He just glared at her and started to launch himself towards Zeref, he grips his dagger from his belt holder and cut his shoulder. Following up, Lucy whips Zeref and it hits his in the face.
Right as Natsu was about to hit him again, he dodges and punches him in the stomach and follows up with Zeref's knee hitting Natsu's jaw. Lucy jumps on him from behind and tightiens her whip around his neck, letting Natsu catch his breath.
Zeref purposely falls on his back, making Lucy take all the impact from the fall and he released himself from her grip. He took out a dagger and stabbed, letting Lucy scream and Natsu grabbed him by the collar and started punching him multiple times. Zeref face was starting to get bloody but he kept fighting back.
Lucy saw Natsu's knife he dropped earlier and picked it up, running towards Zereff who was still fighting Natsu and stabbed the man in the back…literally.
"GAHHHHH!" Zeref screamed in agony from his new wound.
While doing this, Lucy knew exactly where to hit him and didn't miss her shot…she stabbed him to where it would slice his spinal cord so it would restrict him from ever walk again.
Once this happened, Natsu dropped him and walked away while Zeref was still in pain.
"You can take care of him, I could give less of a shit right now. Although let me tell you this…If you ever take a step into Fairy Tail, I won't hesitate to kill you" Natsu said, picking up Wendy and leaving.
"Natsu…I will always love you and that will never change. Goodbye…don't you dare think any of this is your fault".
The pinkette was confused but let out a tsk and left the two in the spacious room.
"Hahaha…haha…You really did it, you really just broke the heart of the man you love" Zeref started to laugh like a madman.
"What are you lauging about you bitch" Lucy said with the murder she is. It is silent for a few minutes, suspense filling up in her gut. Even though she did what she did, she can't help but worry about the others. Although, that gut feeling she had went away when all of Natsu's men completed their missions and are out of the building
"It's just so amusing to see the pain in others eyes, just wait until he see's that all of his man are also dead…He will be so heartbroken that he will want to kill himself from the guilt!" He yelled.
"What are you talking about, I just got word through out earpieces that all of your men were taking out by his team… You are the only one left Zeref"
Lucy could tell that he was starting to get mad, but he was also surprised and confused. "So what do you plan on doing to me right now?" He asked and looked up at Lucy with blood all over, pail as paper from all the blood he is losing. All Lucy does is pull something out of her pocket, once she took it out Zeref couldn't believe It.
"W-what…what is the meaning if this!" He was currently eyeing the baggie that Lucy is holding up, then she throws it to him.
"I finished this months ago, thought it was only right to gibe it to you before you die" Lucy say.
"I see, but why are you getting rid of it when you were going to give it to Fairy Tail?" He said
I never had the intention to give it away, I only made the intention of destroying it"
"And how are you going to destroy it?" Zeref asked, suspicious of what the answer will be.
Lucy pulls out a triggered remote of her pocket
"With the device that will destroy us both, why else would I wait until everyone else was out of the building?"
-Natsu's P.O.V.-
Why the hell would she do this?!
I hold Wendy's lifeless body tight to me while I'm running out of the building to get her medical help. I just got confirmation that everyone has left the building, I already told them everything that happened.
After what felt like forever, I finally caught up with everyone else where we are about 50 meters away from the building. Once I saw everyone else, I stiffened up because I saw my parents rush towards me and Wendy.
"OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED!?" My mom yelled with tears in her eyes.
Guilt is now taking over me, "I'm sorry…I tried to tell her not to come but she wouldn't budge" I lower my head to hide my face, wanting to let tears down over my dead sister.
"WHO THE HELL DID THIS NATSU" Igneel yelled and I just froze, not wanting to say anything because it will make me even more mad just mentioning her name in a single sentence.
"It was Lucy…" I said and everyone looked at me in disbelief, but there was no sign of me being serious so they knew I was telling them the truth.
Everyone was frozen and some where even crying, all until something that none of us suspected.
A simple cough
"Na…Natsu… *cough* where's Lu…Lucy?" We all heard from what we thought was a dead little girl. My eyes widen and I immediately hug Wendy, not answering her question.
What is this? Did Lucy fail at killing her…Or was this on purpose…? Why does everything have to be so damn confusing right now?
"I let go of the hug and my parents are holding her, my mother is crying and dare to say my father is also letting tears fall from his eyes. Wendy doesn't take her eyes off of me.
"How are you still alive Wendy?" Erza said, still chocking up but said the words my family and I couldn't ask.
"She never told me to live m…my life to the fullest…how is she a killer if she told me to live on?" She looks straight at me, I'm assuming that she heard a few things that I told Lucy.
"Lucy may have stabbed me, but she put the knife in a non-fatal area. She emptied the srynge full of poison broke the needle so none of it entered my blood stream. I only passed out from the blood loss."
I just look at my sister in dis-belief
Does this mean…It was all a lie? I said all those things to Lucy when all she did was to protect my sister?
I hit her
I didn't even give her any time of day.
I told her never to come back or else I would kill her
I am frozen with anger, guilt, confusion, and sadness.
"Is Lucy still inside the building Nat-" Levy asked but couldn't answer before Natsu started running towards to the building.
"Lucy!" I yell into the earpiece, hoping that she still has it in.
"LUCY"
"Natsu…I will always love you and that will never change. Goodbye…don't you dare think any of this is your fault".
Her last words keep on repeating in my head as I keep telling her name.
"I love you Natsu…live on"
*BOOM*
I flew back from the impact of an explosion and immediately got up, no no no no
Oh god no, please tell me this is some sick joke
"LUCYYYYYYYYY"
I start running but I am stopped by someone's arms, my fathers arms.
He holds me back, but also holds me in a hug…trying to stop me from going towards the now burning building. The only thing I can say right now is her name…nothing else.
How could I say that…It's all my fault.
I fall to my knees
Lucy…I'm not ready to say goodbye to you
