"Huh?"

Natsu blinked as the blonde woman in front of him pulled him into a soul crushing hug. His mind swirled with several different thoughts. Why did she smell entirely of blood when she didn't have a scratch on her? Why was she hugging him? She never did that without getting flustered.

He slowly wrapped his arms around her wasit and returned her hug with hesitants. She pulled back and dug her index fingers into her cheeks like a child. His suspicions were growing, he had a strong feeling something was wrong with Lucy. She giggled as if she hadn't seen his narrowed eyes and grabbed his hand, leading them back to the others. They all had gasped when seeing her.

"L-Lucy! You're okay?" Erza asked her. The celestial mage nodded happily. Erza went up to her and hugged her tightly to her body. Normally Lucy would just moan in pain from the squeeze, but she only licked her lips and squealed in happiness. Natsu noticed the blush coating her cheeks when she looked at Erza's skin.

"Are you sure she's okay?" Gray whispered softly to Natsu. The pink haired mage shook his head.

"Something is definitely up with her. She has not a scratch on her and she reeks of her own blood. Look at her face, does Lucy make faces like that?" Natsu pointed put thoughtfully. Gray noticed how Lucy's smile was so wide it could of split her face, but this wasn't a mere happy happy smile. It had intention behind it, almost sinister. Bakugou and Uraraka also seemed to notice the same thing as Erza stayed innocent. He glared at Natsu.

"What the fuck is up with her. She looks creepy." Uraraka nodded with Bakugou and watched Lucy. That face she made reminded her of someone. Lucy then saw Uraraka's gaze and smiled.

"Hey Ochako! You look so cute today." Uraraka smiled politely at her words but everyone could see the discomfort she was feeling, except Lucy.

"Th-Thank you Lucy. That means a lot to me." Lucy ran up to the brown haired girl and hugged her tightly, startling her. Natsu watched as Lucy ran her nose over Uraraka's neck for a split second before she fully gave in to the hug. It wouldn't have been weird if Lucy was shorter than Uraraka, but she wasn't. Which is why it was an awkward position. Erza must of finally broken out of her trance as she narrowed her eyes at Lucy.

That was good, everyone was on the same page with this Lucy. Either someone was posing as the girl or those villains did something to her. Natsu was thinking the former. It was likely someone was using Lucy's blood to cover up this scent, the real Lucy must of told them of Natsu and his capabilities. This angered Natsu greatly.

If that much blood was being used to cover up a strong scent like Lucy's, then they must of taken a large amount. Which means Lucy is injured. He was going to step forward towards the imposter when a hand clamped down on his shoudler. Gray squeezed his shoulder and shook his head darkly. Gray seemed just as angry as if he was reading Natsu's explanation.

"Not yet. We need a plan." He mumbled softly, but loud enough that the people close enough heard. Which happened to be Erza and Bakugou. Uraraka was still busy hugging the fake Lucy. Natsu exhaled from his nose and stood stiffly, understanding that Gray was right for once. Uraraka releaved Lucy from her hold and smiled weakly in her direction.

"Aha! Natsu the look on your face is scary. Are you mad at those villains who kidnapped me?" The woman grinned, her mouth open and visible, along with her teeth slightly. Her cheeks pushing up her eyes, giving her an unique look. One that Uraraka was all too familiar with. The gravity manipulator's eyes widened. She ultimately kept quiet, although she was going to warn the others when that woman wasn't around.

"Yeah...something like that." Natsu muttered. His fist were clenching in fury. How dare this girl pose as Lucy and believe that he would just fall for it. He knows Lucy like the back of his hand, and she acts nothing like this. The Lucy look-alike giggled and jumped happily, clapping her hands. She embraced Natsu once more, but then he felt a small nip at his neck. "Ow!"

He ran his hand over his neck and looked at his palm. There was blood smeared on it. Had this chick just bit him? She leaned back and wiped her bottom lip as it was stained with his blood. "Oh I'm sorry Natsu, I got over excited and my nails must of scraped your neck." He nodded absentmindedly and turned to Erza who scanned a thumb over the wound. It had already started to bruise.

"Well we should get back to school before we miss any other notes." Uraraka stated loudly. Everyone nodded and started to walk back. The others suddenly heard jingling from the blonde girl's hip. Natsu sucked in a breath at what he saw, Lucy's key. He was sure you couldn't just replicate celestial keys so they had to be the real deal. He also noticed how Loke's key glowed brightly but the girl only seemed to ignore it.

They took her keys. There is no possible way for her to escape on her own. Bakugou glared at the woman in front of him. That stupid blonde bitch was annoying but she didn't deserve this, he knows all too well how damaging a situation like this can be. It was obvious that the person posing as her has no idea what Lucy's personality is around her friends, even if she had some idea, it wasn't very convincing.

Bakugou could feel the heat come from Natsu. This was the first time Bakugou saw Natsu truly angry.

...

Lucy woke up in the same cell she tried to escape from. She snarled and sat upright only to be glared down by a man. It was the same one that stopped her from fleeting the first time. His fingertips glowed brightly with a blue flame, shocking Lucy. He used fire too? It was an electric blue that looking nothing like Natsu.

She felt a small smile come to her lips, if she was going to be tortured by flames, she didn't want to see flames that look like Natsu's. That reminded her, where was that Toga girl? Lucy struggled against her restraints. She could feel her breathing grow rapidly. She needed to find her friends!

"Don't bother. Toga is already with your friends now posing as you as we speak. We used your blood and rubbed it against Toga's skin so that it could cover up her scent from that Dragneel kid. He seems to prove a difficult challenge but Toga is convincing so I have no doubt he is eating out of the palm of her hand." Lucy laughed loudly. Dabi scowled, his flames flaring dangerously. Like it was supposed to intimidate her. As if fire could scare her, she's around Natsu 24/7.

"Oh please you know nothing about me and how i am around my friends. They're probably figuring out who she really is right now!"

"Toga can get a sense from your thoughts and that's enough to trick your friends."

"Yeah she can get a sense right? Although she can do that, she can't imitate every single thing and how I act. Her powers should only let her do so much. Even one little mistake can raise suspicion in a Fairy Tail mage." She was sure if she was right next to him, she would of been punched by now. He crossed a leg over his other and leaned back into his chair. Lucy raised a brow at his sudden change of attitude.

"I'm only here to get information out of you. Not have an argument. Now tell me all about your dimension." Lucy pursed her lips in thought. She leaned back on the concrete wall and looked away from the man.

"Sure if you take off these cuffs."

"Not going to happen. You can't possibly be that stupid can you?" Her eye twitched in irritation. Sighing she turned to the man with an unreadable expression. What exactly was he going to do with the information? Does he want to try and take over her dimension? The mere thought made her chuckle, he'd have a hell of a time with Acnologia.

"What do you want to know?" Asked Lucy quietly.

"Anything." He answered sternly. She blew a raspberry. Where to start? She guessed she would give him basic information that didn't cause her to give away anything secretive. And to maybe intimidate him enough to not even think about visiting her dimension. She shuffled into a more comfortable position and spoke up.

"Well unlike this world, we don't exactly call our enemies villains. Whoever is against Fairy Tail is our enemy and we won't hesitate to crush them under our feet." She warned.

"Fairy Tail?" He asked. Completely ignoring her words. As if he didn't believe a word he said, she wanted to laugh. Together, Team Natsu has defeated a pretty powerful foe, Hades. Although they had outside help, they still were able to gain so much strength from that fight.

"It's a guild we all belong to. Guilds are groups of wizards that take jobs to help people without magic ability. In these jobs, we defeat demons, monsters, beasts, you name it. It's hard work but in the end you get a reward which is always worth it." 'If you are even able to gain it.' Lucy thought sadly with a sweat drop. The man hummed that told her to go on. "In a guild you're most likely going to be dragged into all out wars against bigger enemies. Such as Spriggan twelve."

"And who are they?"

"Tweleve powerful mages that are under Zeref's, a very powerful and immortal black mage that kills any living thing he loves, thumb. We were all supposed to be up against them when we were trapped here. Hopefully my guild back home is able to keep everything at bay until we get back." Lucy finished with a huff. Now that she thought about it, they should get back as soon as possible. They need mages like Erza, Gray, and Natsu back at the guild to fight.

"So demons plague your world. They must not be that strong if you're alive." Lucy hung open her mouth in offense. How dare he imply she's weak! She was busy rubbing her cuffs on the concrete behind her in hope they could break.

"I'm not weak!" He rolled his eyes at her outburst.

"So this black mage Zeref. Is he really as powerful as you say?"

"Yes, of course he is! He's killed countless and he's planning an all out war with Fairy Tail. He wants to run Fiore entirely. But you shouldn't worry about him as much as you should worry about Acnologia, a man who turned into a dragon from the numerous dragons he's killed before our time, four hundred years ago. He almost annihilated half of Fairy Tail, me included." Dammit, she was getting sucked into explaining. She told herself she would keep it basic. But it seemed this is was striking at least a bit of fear in him.

"How is he alive then?" Lucy shrugged.

"Not exactly sure, maybe hatred for the world? Or maybe he's immortal as well. Acnologia is a mystery, the only thing I could tell you is that his dragon form is beyond terrifying. A hell of a lot more than you villains. You're only food in his eyes and you're nothing in mine." This seemed to have gotten to the man more than she thought.

He stood and walked away.
