Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, this is the twenty-fifth chapter of the fan fiction me my friend have been working on. We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.

thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.

We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima


Natsu: (Lu...cy...)

Lucy: (Nat...su...*groan*)

Natsu: (Just... just focus... on my voice okay?)

Lucy: (my head... it hurts...so much)

Natsu: (I know it does... but please... just focus on me)

Lucy: (*breathes heavily* O...okay)

Natsu: (Atta girl... just focus on me... the pain should go away shortly)

Lucy: (okay...what's happening *pant* to me)

Natsu: (It doesn't...) *screams in pain again, but it comes out sounding like a roar and it scares Gray*

Lucy: (Natsu)

Natsu: (*breathes heavily* Lucy)

Lucy: (what's happening *breathes heavily *groans*)

Gray: Lucy!

Lucy: *drops to her knees and bends over her face facing the ground panting*

Gray: *runs up to Lucy and helps her up* Lucy, you need to come with me

Lucy leans on Gray gripping her head with one hand

Gray: Do you want me to carry you? We need to go to Natsu

Lucy nods

Gray picks up Lucy and takes her to the area where she ran away. Lucy can see Natsu thrashing around on the ground in pain, he scales are spewing fire as is his mouth

Lucy: Natsu

Gray: *still holding on to Lucy* Nothing I say will snap him out of it

Lucy: (natsu I'm here)

Natsu: (L...lu...Lucy)

Lucy: *still gripping her head* Gray put me down

Gray: *looking at Lucy* Are you insane?

Lucy: (yeah it's me) No I'm not I'm the only one who can help him, so put me down

Gray: *puts Lucy down but still holds on to her arm* Just be careful, and don't get too close

Lucy: *nods* okay. (Natsu I'm here)

Lucy slowly walks to Natsu, gripping her head

Natsu: (I... I...I can't...please)

Lucy: (what, whats wrong) *finally gets to natsu*

Lucy notices he has more scales and wings. She shakes it off and focuses on him and how to help him. Natsu suddenly opens his eyes and looks at Lucy, he's no longer screaming but instead breathing heavily, with smoke coming out of his mouth and scales

Lucy: Natsu, what's wrong. Why is this happening

Natsu: *crying from the pain, but Lucy's connection to him is numb and she can't feel his pain any more* I can't...

Lucy: *puts her hands on his face* please Natsu, tell me whats wrong

Natsu tries to reach up and touch her face

Gray: Lucy. We should get him out of here before someone comes to investigate

Lucy: *bends down and picks natsu up* we're getting out of here

Lucy while they run she uses her blue flame to help with the pain from his wings

Natsu yelps in pain as the wings start to retract, leaving bloody and bruised skin where they grew

Lucy intensifies the flames so it numbs where the wings grew

-Back at the hotel room-

Lucy kicks open the door. Carrying in Natsu in her arms

Erza sees Natsu and then looks at Gray and Lucy for answers

Lucy: *lies Natsu down on the couch* Gray can you start explaining, I'm going to get some water and a wash cloth to clean Natsu up *i.e his wounds*

Gray: *to Erza* It happened again

Lucy walks back in with a bowl full of warm water and a white wash cloth. she kneels down on the ground and starts cleaning Natsu's wounds. Natsu winces when the cloth touches his back

Lucy: sorry

Lucy gently cleans the wounds on his back

Erza: Weren't they near each other? How could this have happened again, and worse than it was yesterday?

Lucy feels guilty for leaving natsu

Natsu: (This isn't your fault. I shouldn't have lost my temper with Gray)

Lucy: (but I knew if I left there would be a chance you would transform again*

Natsu: (It was going to happen eventually. At least with you not there, there was no chance of you getting hurt)

Lucy: (yeah. I just hate seeing you in pain)

Natsu: (I'm sorry)

Lucy: (It's okay) *she bends down and kisses him on the forehead*

Natsu: (I don't know how long I can hang on to myself, Luce)

Lucy: (well no matter what I'll be there, I'm not going to leave you to suffer)

Gray: We investigated the site, and no sign of Igneel. Just a lot of ash and blood

Erza: blood?

Gray: *nods* According to hot head, he smelt a lot of fire and burnt flesh. He touched the ash on the floor and half of his hand was covered in blood when he lifted it again

Erza: how could this happen

Gray: *looking at Lucy and Natsu* I don't know. But is it possible we may be dealing with a rogue dragon here. Like another fire dragon?

Lucy: *looks at gray* another fire dragon,? I thought Igneel is the only fire dragon

Gray: It's possible that there'd be more than one of each type though isn't it? How else could dragons have survived this long?

Erza: We should contact Levy. She may have an idea

Flames engulf Lucy's hands and she goes to heal Natsu's wounds

Natsu suddenly starts sniffing the air which catches everyone's attention

Lucy: huh what's wrong?

Natsu: That smell

Lucy: what smell

Natsu: The one from earlier *sniffs again* I can smell it again

Lucy: what can you smell, remember our sense of smell isn't as strong as yours

Natsu: I knew it was familiar from somewhere, I just couldn't place it

Natsu tries to turn around so he's able to grab Lucy's hand and make sure

Lucy: huh?

Natsu: *quietly* Blue fire...

Lucy: what about it

Natsu: I smelt it at the crater

Lucy: how, I've never been here before

Erza: Natsu how could you smell blue fire when Lucy has never been there. And she's the only one we know who can use blue fire

Natsu: I dunno. *tries to sit up and winces in doing so* But we should go back and investigate some more

Lucy: Natsu you should rest first

Natsu: *winces* I'll be fine... we...just... *Erza knocks him out*

Lucy: *looks at Erza* did you need to be so rough

Erza: Now you can heal him without him moving

Lucy: *nods* okay *starts healing him again*

-In Natsu's head-

A young Natsu is running through the halls of a huge castle holding a lacrima

Natsu: Haha! You can't catch me bro

Zeref: *chases after natsu* yes I will, just you see

Natsu is running with the lacrima, then bumps into a large intimidating man *Their father*. He drops the lacrima and it shatters, releasing the magic within

Natsu and Zeref both go pale when they see what happened and who it happened in front of. They weren't supposed to have the Lacrima and if they ever did something to disobey their father they got beaten up vigorously

Lucy: *seeing what's happening* (huh where am I)

Natsu: *trembling* I'm... I'm... s-s-sorry sir

Lucy: (wait thats natsu)

Zeref: *trembling* I'm so ...v...v..very .ry sir

their father turns to Zeref

Father: Zeref. Leave. Now

Zeref: *looks at Natsu with a frightened face and runs off* sorry Natsu

Father: *cracks his knuckles* Your little brother has broken the rules. We both know what happens when you do that

Lucy: (wait whats he doing.)

Their father slowly approaches Natsu who is terrified and stepping backwards

Father: I warned you not to touch that magic. You may have promised, but you will need to learn respect. And suffering will be your teacher.

Lucy: (wait stop)

Natsu: *trembling* P...please sir *sniff* I'll... I'll never do it again... *sniff* Please...

Lucy: (stop, don't hurt him)

The scene suddenly changes to Zeref bringing their mother to find Natsu, beaten half to death

Zeref: *crying and dragging her along* This way! He's down here!

Lucy: *mentally shaken* (I never knew someone could be so brutal towards their own child)

Mother: I'm coming

Zeref: *crying is now sitting next to Natsu* Natsu...*sniff* I'm so sorry I left you *sniff*

Natsu: *weakly reaches for Zeref's hand* It wasn't your fault... It was my idea

Lucy: (wait that looks like Zeref)

Mother: *gets to Natsu and zeref* Natsu sweetie hold on I'll get you to the nurse

Zeref: *shakes head* I shouldn't have left you

Natsu: *weakly smiles and Lucy sees it's his same smile even after all this* I don't mind. I'm gonna protect you; you're my big brother

Lucy: (he hasn't changed even after all this time)

Lucy wakes up with a jolt, she sits up covered in sweat. She realises she had fallen asleep on the floor after healing Natsu
