Last Time:

"You... have... to... hold on... to this... package..it's... very important! Ichiro... needs h-help... now!" Happy passed out.

"Happy!" Loki and Gray yelled. Juvia picked up Happy in her arms and placed an ear against his heart. "Don't worry he's just fine, just exhausted." The two boys gave a sigh of relieve, "That's good. Now what's this package Happy wanted us to take?" Gray picked up the brown package off the floor.

"What the heck is it?" Loki said looking at the package strange. "I'm not sure, but didn't Happy mention something about Ichiro needing help?" Loki and Gray looked at each other nodding. "Juvia I need you to watch Happy for us can you do that?" Juvia nodded. "I live further away from the village a little house on the left you can't miss it." The two boys nodded. Juvia began heading out of the village, heading toward her house. Little did she know, there was someone watching her.

"Hmmm, and who might we have here?" The person said as she silently followed Juvia from a save distance.

To Fight Your Friends Part 2

Juvia continued to walk to her house located past the town center, with a passed out happy in her arms. "Hold on Happy were almost there," she said reassuringly hoping the blue feline could hear her in his passed out state. Luckily he twitched a bit, causing her to smile. "Well, it's good to know you're-" Before Juvia knew what was going on sharp knife like objects were thrown in her direction. Luckily she was able to summon a wall of water before she was hit.

"Who's there?" Juvia asked. Nothing. expect for more knifes being throw at her. Juvia dodged to the right the knifes firmly embedded into a tree. That's when a mysterious voice could be heard from somewhere in the shadows.

"My, My you're going to be an interesting opponent."

"Who are you?"

A figure slowly came out of the shadows. From what Juvia could tell it was a female. "Hello, nice to make your acquaintance. My name is Rin Nakahara. I by order of my supreme leader Ryu, I'm to destroy anyone allied with those Fairy Tail losers. And seeing as you happen to have one of them in your custody..." Juvia looked down at Happy and then back the Rin with a glare in her eyes. "That means you'll have to die."

"I won't let you get a hold of Happy or the rest of his friends. We may have just met, but I feel as though I've known them for a long time and that I can trust them, trust me with everything I have. So if you want to kill Happy so bad, be prepared for a tough fight!"

Rin looked at Juvia with a devilish smirk on her face. "Good. I have a feeling I'm gonna enjoy seeing yours and the blue cats blood splatter all over the place, as you both beg for your worthless lives!"

"Come on Loki, we need to reach Ichiro soon. I have a really bad feeling that he needs our help."

"Right!"

Gray and Loki continued to run through streets hoping to run into their wolf pup friend soon. They then noticed a group of guys huddled around someone.

"Animal Instinct: K-9 Kick!" Before Loki and Gray could tell what was going on, one of the guys was sent flying. "So you guys still want some more?" the person asked. Gray and Loki could tell by the voice it was Ichiro. Gray looked at Loki with a gleam in his eye, and Loki knew exactly what it meant. Loki pulled out his Kusarigama(A/N: English term is called Chain Scythe. Just in case you forgot:3) and began twirling it, Gray then got into his Ice make stance.

"It looks like our friend Ichiro needs a little help. Ice make: Boxing Gloves." Loki took that as his cue and threw his Kusarigama and it wrapped around one of the guys legs and he pulled, causing the guy to fall down. The other guys noticed their friend suddenly fall down, but didn't know what caused him to fall down. "Who the-" Before the guy had a chance turn around a see what happened, there was a cold; yet hard punch to the face. The guy flew a couple feet away, he was knocked out cold. "Who the hell are you guys?" The rest of the guys turned around and Gray and Loki standing there with smirks on their face.

"Why, no one in particular. I just have one question," Gray said. "What is it you brat! I don't have time for your stupid games." The main leader said irritation in his voice. "Oh, it's nothing big, I just wanted to see who's ever been beaten by a bunch of kids before, raise your hand." The guys looked at Gray confused. "Well, Loki it seems like there's a first for everything, you ready?" Loki nodded. The two boys got into there stances. The group of guys could tell by the stances that these to guys meant business.

"Hey, forget about that stupid mutt over there I think we'll get a better fight out of these small fry." The group rushed straight at Loki and Gray, but they didn't flinch. One of the guys headed straight for Loki, he dodged it and threw his Kusarigama; it wrapped around the guys arm and Loki pulled the chain causing him to crash into another guy which knocked both of the guys out. "Hey, two for one sweet!" Ichiro couldn't believe what he was seeing, 'Where these the same two runts I went up against not too long ago?' The two boys seemed so focused. A smiled curved on Ichiro's lips. 'It looks like I've missed judged them after all.' Ichiro's eyes began glowing signaling he was ready for an attack.

"Loki, Gray. Cover your ears!" The two did what they were told. Ichiro took a deep breath and said, "Animal instinct: Raging Howl!" A huge sonic wave blasted the remaining guys away leaving Loki and Gray standing in there tracks stunned. 'I can't believe Ichiro was hiding power like that! So does that mean that when he fought him at time, that he wasn't at full power?'

"What are you guys doing here?" Ichiro asked snapping Gray out of his thoughts. "Happy came to us telling us to hold on to a package and that you needed help, then he passed out." Loki replied. Ichiro's eyes widened in shock hearing that Happy passed out.

"Is Happy ok?"

"Yeah he's fine. An 'old' friend of ours has him." if you could call her that. Ichiro calmed down at hearing this. "Well that's good." A smirked creeped on Loki face. "I thought you said you didn't care for Happy, Ichiro." A small blush appeared on Ichiro's cheeks. "I don't care! It's just that he can be pretty cool to have around sometimes that all." Ichiro's ears bended back and he turned his head in embarrassment.

"Yeah, Yeah. Whatever you say puppy!" Loki bent down patting Ichiro on the head. Ichiro wasn't pleased by that snide comment and began pawing at his face. "What did I tell you before? Just because I'm a puppy doesn't mean I can't hurt you." he said through clenched teeth. Loki just gave Ichiro a smile and said, "You can say all that stuff, but I know your hearts too kind for that." Ichiro felt like he was frozen in a blizzard. He couldn't believe that Loki thought that he was kind enough that he wouldn't hurt him. 'Ha, what a joke! I'm not kind I'm just a monster, born and raised.' "Hmp, whatever." Ichiro backed up and bit and with one big leap jumped on top of Loki head.

"I-Ichiro! What are you-"

"Well since I'm too kind to attack you, as you say. I'll just sit on your head as punishment." A tooth grin on his face. "Ichiro." Gray called gaining his attention. "Yeah?" "What this package about?" Gray tossed the package in the air causing Ichiro to leap off Loki's head and catch the package in between his teeth. Ichiro Landed and dropped the package on the ground.

"I'm not really sure, but I have a feeling Lucy might know."

"Lucy?!What does Lucy have to do with this-"

Ichiro's ears perked up in alarm. Ichiro bared his teeth shifted on his paws, this seemed to get Gray and Loki's attention. "What's wrong Ichi-" Before Gray could ask Ichiro began running through the town center toward an unknown location.

"Ichiro where are you going?"

"Come on Gray let's go!"

Gray nodded and they both began running after Ichiro, unsure of what would await him.

"Raining water bullets!" Juvia summoned a whole bunch of water bullets from her hands. They headed towards Rin, she dodged them like nothing. "Ha, is that the best you got?" Rin jumped down from the top of the tree. "I told you I won't let you harm them!" A serious look her Juvia's eyes. "It looks like your serious now, huh? It looks like I don't have to hold back then." A green aura surround Rin, her eyes turned green.

"Wind Slicer!" Blades of wind headed straight for Juvia. "Water Slicer!" Both attacks clashed, creating a furious wind. "I'm not done yet! Water cane!" Juvia summon a water whip from her hand and fling it at Rin, it wrapped around her arm, Juvia pulled it slamming Rin into a tree. Apparently Rin wasn't too fond of that.

"Wind furry!" A heavy gust of wind flew toward Juvia, she was flung up in the air. Happy flew out of her arms. "Happy!" "Wind ripper!" A huge blade of wind headed straight for Juvia. "Water body!" Juvia's body started to dissipate in liquid. Rin climbed out of the dented tree and sighed, "It looks like you aren't going to make this easy are you?" "Water beam!" Rin jumped up into the air dodging the attack. 'Ha I have you right where I want you.' "Water Lock!" Before Rin could tell where the attack had come from her body was in-cased in water. She was beginning to lose oxygen. Juvia saw her opponent struggling and came out from behind the tree. "I told you before I wasn't going to let you harm them. I was dead serious." A couple minutes later Rin's body stopped moving. Juvia released the attack, assuming Rin was done for.

"Now, I've got to find Happy." A she began walking away she felt a huge power spike. Juvia turned around in an instant. "N-No way! How could she-" Rin began stand up. "I-I won't die yet, I can't let Master Ryu down! I-I promised him I'd defeat all of you! PREPARE YOURSELF!" A massive amount of energy came began pouring out from Rin's body. "Wind began swirling around her. It looked like she was an impenetrable force of wind. She came and came fast, Juvia didn't see it coming, all she knew was that she was getting cuts all along her body from left to right.

"Gah!" Juvia suddenly felt a really hard kick to her stomach, she was sent flying toward a tree, Juvia hit the tree so hard that the shattered and fell on top of her rendering her unconscious.

"Ha, that's all you got girly! Too easy! Well anyway I might as well take you and that cat to my other captives. " Rin up Juvia by her collar and walked toward the blue cat who was still unconscious and laying over by a tree stump. She picked him up by the tail and disappeared not leaving a trace.

Ichiro came to a holt, Gray and Loki right behind him somewhat out of breath. "Geez, Ichiro what... what the hell happened here?" Gray was in shock it looked like a serious fight had gone on, trees either had dents in them of were smashed to pieces. "Ichiro do you know what happened here?" Loki asked curious. " No, I don't but I've picked up a really weird, yet familiar scent. "Well can you take us to where ever the scent leads?" Ichiro nodded, he sniffed the ground to see if he could pick a stronger whiff of the scent, that when a pungent smell hit his noise almost making him gag. 'W-Why is she here?' "hiro, Ichiro!" he heard Loki calling him, he snapped back to reality. "Huh?" Loki sighed, "I was asking if you found the scent yet?"

"Yeah I found it, Come on let's go!" The boys nodded and followed Ichiro further into the forest.

"W-Where am I?" A drowsy Happy opened his eyes, he looked around and what he saw shocked him, Natsu and Lucy were knocked out cold, and looked like they were both in severe pain. "Natsu, Lucy! Please wake up it's me Happy! Can you here me?" Happy tried to moved, but he was bound together by ropes. "Natsu, please!" That when he heard a laugh.

"Hahahaha! It's useless cat you can't save them, there probably already to far gone."

"W-Who are you?" Happy asked a small bit of fear in his voice.

A girl with black hair, and light purple streaks along with red colored lips stepped out from the shadows, a smirk on her face. "I my blue feline am Rin Nakahara, pleasure to make your acquaintance," She said bowing. "Ok, but what did you mean when you said that my friends are you far gone?" Happy asked. " What I meant was I used a specialty of mines that if anyone get's caught in my fog, they're rendered unconscious and I'm able to go deep into there subconscious and use there most precious memories against them destroy them from with in the deep within their subconscious." Happy's eye widened he couldn't believe what he had heard. "But, why? Why would you do that to them?" Happy on the verge of tears. "Ha, simple I was given orders by my leader Ryu to dispose of you Fairy Tail losers if I were to come across you while traveling across the time stream."

"Time... Stream?"

"Animal Instinct: Howl!" A super sonic blast headed straight for Rin, she dodged it. "Well, Well. If isn't the traitorous filth Ichiro. What brings you here of all places?" Ichiro stopped, his teeth bared. Loki and Gray right behind him, a determined look on there faces. " I should ask you the same question Rin. What are you doing here?" "Ha, you first. I thought you were with us Ichiro. Ryu-sama will lead us to the place we've always wanted. I thought you of all people understood that best... but now you've allied yourself with these Fairy Tail scum, now look at what's become of you!" Anger flashed in her eyes.

"I did, I wanted to believe in what Ryu-sama told us but..." Ichiro dug his claws into the ground. "If killing innocent people to get want you want is one of the obstacles to obtain this so called, 'promised land' then I want no part in it understand!"

"Tch, I always knew deep down you were a softy! Well, then shall we get this party started?" Ichiro and Rin charged straight at each other leaving Gray and Loki. "Gray, Loki! Up here!" They heard a familiar blue feline call, they looked up and saw, no other than there friend Happy tied up, next to Juvia. "Happy hold on!" "No! Gray, Loki don't worry about me, you have to worry about Natsu and Lucy. You have to save them before it's too late!" Gray and Loki were shocked, "Natsu and Lucy! But Where..." "Gray look!" Loki said gaining his attention to the two passed out mages on the ground, they ran over to them and noticed they had cuts all along they body. They started shaking them, trying to get them to wake up, but they wouldn't wake.

"Natsu! Wake would you!" Gray used his ice magic to see if that get the pink fire mage to stir, but it had no affect.

"Lucy, please wake up!" Loki tried to shock her, but nothing. Loki felt Lucy body was getting colder and colder by the minute. 'this isn't good, Lucy please!' "Ha, it seems the blonde one over there isn't going to make it is she." Gray looked at Rin, he wanted answer and he wanted them now! "What did you do?" he asked through clenched teeth. "Ha, like I'd tell you!" Rin wasn't focused on Ichiro and he was able to scratch her leaving a scar right across her eye. "Damn, you shitty... you'll pay for that!" blood was dripping from her eye. "serves you right, now what did you do to my friends!" Rin smirked, "Isn't it obvious..." Ichiro's eyes widened, "You didn't!" "Oh, but did. Face it Ichiro you can't save them!" Ichiro gave her a defiant look, "I can save them, and I will! Animal Instinct: K-9 Kick!" Ichiro gave Rin a hard kick to her stomach, she coughed up some blood as well as being sent flying straight into a tree. 'that should hold her off for a while.' Ichiro landed firmly on the ground, he ran toward where Gray and Loki were.

"Ichiro it's no use they both won't wake up," Loki said panic in his voice. "I know, but I know how to save them, but I'll only need one of you to do it." "I'll do it," Loki said with no hesitation. "Now Loki, are you sure you want to do this? You'll only get one shot at this, if you were to fail both of them might die, understand?" Loki nodded his determination not wavering. "Good, now we need to wake up Lucy first, her body's getting cold fast and if we don't saver her and fast... I'm afraid it'll be too late. Gray I need you to keep Rin busy while, Loki and I work on saving Lucy, understand?"

"Gotcha!" Gray ran over to where Ichiro had once stood while fighting Rin waiting for her to pop out at any moment.

"Loki what I need you to do is find Lucy, she's somewhere trapped deep in her subconscious and you need to snap her back to her senses, no matter what happens YOU MUST FIND HER."

"I got it Ichiro."

"Good, now let's do this. Ichiro grab Lucy's hand." Loki did as he was told and grabbed Lucy hand, it was cold to the touch. 'Don't worry Lucy I bring you back, I promise!" A determined look in his eyes. " Now, Loki I need you close your left eye. Loki closed his left eye. "Now, you might feel really sleepy and out of it, but it normal, but most importantly don't let 'your' own memories hinder you other wise you'll end up suck in your own subconscious as well. Good Luck!" Ichiro closed his right eye, his left eye his blue eye started glowing making Loki feel really sleepy, his eyes slowly started closing, everything went black.

"Where... am I?" Loki around and noticed he was standing in a forest of some kind. "What am I doing here?" That's when it occurred to him, he was in Lucy's subconscious on a mission to find her. "Lucy!" he called out. Nothing. He decided to walk even further, his time a field coming into view, he even could hear voices?

"I'm truly am weak," One voice said.

"My father was right, I'm a disgrace to him and mother. It's my fault she died," Another voice said.

'Is this what Lucy truly thinks of herself?' Loki thought as he kept walking through the field. "Lucy, please say anything please! Where are you?" he called. "Who are you?" Loki turned around and saw... a little girl who looked exactly like... Lucy?!

"Lucy is that you?"

"W-Who are you Mr... and how do you know my name?"

To be continued!

Lucy: I'm always alone I'm use to it

Loki: I don't care, who you are I won't let you kill Lucy! No matter what!

Lucy: Loki!

Loki: Lucy!

Loki and Lucy: Next time: Fighting your way out of the darkness and stepping into the light!
