Luna's breathing caught in her throat, as she laid on the cold, hard floor of her torture chamber. Her throat was raw from all of her screams. She was bleeding, and in the most pain she has ever been in her entire life.

Luna knew she wasn't alone. Someone was watching her suffering, her pain, watching her as tears leaked from her eyes.

This was confirmed when she felt someone pull her up by her hair. Luna let out a small whimper, and tried to turn, to see who had a hold of her.

One of the people who cut her skin, Luna realized this when she caught a glimpse of him.

"L-let go, please," Luna begged, raw tears streaming down her face, her scalp being extra sore and tender.

The guy smirked. "I don't think I will, Heartfillia," he says. "Now make like a good little girl, and stay quiet."

Luna's eyes were wide with fear as he gained a maniac look in his eyes.

A distraught Lucy Heartfillia quickly got off the train, thinking that it took way too long for the train to arrive.

Lucy pushed and shoved through crowds of people, not caring about who she bumped into. There were a few "Watch it, lady" and "Slow down" but Lucy paid them no mind.

She had to get to the guild. She just has to. What if something terrible already happened to her daughters?

She arrived at Fairy Tail, and paused. She hasn't been here in so long. Other than Levy, Gajeel, and their son, she hasn't seen anyone from this guild in a long time.

Lucy didn't have time to dwell on that. She has to save Nashi and Luna. And so, with that in mind, Lucy marched inside.

"Mom! You're here!" Jason rushed forward and hugged Lucy. She hugged back, of course, but she was a bit miffed.

She paid no attention to the rest of the people's stares as she began scolding her son. "Jason, what were you thinking?! That was the worst call I've ever gotten. I was and still am so worried..."

"Mom, not now..." Jason was blushing a bright red.

Lucy gazed around the guild. At her family. Staring back at her. Lucy smiled. "H-hey, guys. I'm home."

"Blondie," Laxus's gruff voice said.

"Love rival!" Juvia cried.

"Bunny girl," Gajeel greeted.

"Lu-Chan." Levy smiled.

Lucy looked around some more. She didn't see Erza, Gray, Wendy, or the exceeds. Or Natsu. But wasn't that a good thing... after what happened?

Still, Lucy felt disappointed, and she does miss the rest of Team Natsu... wherever they were.

"M-Mom," came the voice of a little blond headed boy. A mini version of her older son, Lucy thought. So this could only be...

"Zach," Lucy realized, engulfing her younger son in a huge embrace.

"Hate to break up this reunion," Laxus said, causing Lucy to seperate from Zach, "but I sent Natsu and some others on a rescue mission. Soon, your daughters will be safe and sound."

"But I need to help save them!" Lucy protested.

"They got this, Blondie."

Lucy wanted to be out there, saving her children. But she merely nodded, biting her lip, worries and thoughts consuming her.

Nashi stood up in a hurry when a guard appeared at her cell door. "What the hell did you psychos do to my sister?!" she demanded. "Where is she? Tell me!"

The guard stood there just... standing out by her cell, doing his job.

"I want answers!" Nashi screams. "Answer me!"

The guard didn't even budge. His back was turned from her, and Nashi glanced down to see... keys around his belt.

Not Luna's key, but actual keys used to lock... and unlock things.

A plan started forming in Nashi's mind.
