Lucy couldn't believe it. Who would want to attack the Dalesworth manor. She quickly jumped into action.

"Virgo go downstairs and protect Lady Dalesworth. Open Gate of Lion, Archer, and Sea Goat: Leo, Sagitarius, and Capricorn!" Lucy called out. Moving to the window to get a better idea of what they were up against. Not even a full minute after the spirits had arrived there was another rumble.

"Follow me. It seems we have some unexpected and unwanted company." Lucy told her spirits as they all followed Lucy to Ambrosia's room.

"Ambrosia, are you alright?" Lucy walked in to find Ambrosia trying to get out of bed. "Oh no you don't. Virgo put her back in bed. I have an army of Celestial Spirits willing to help me fight, you need to stay in bed. I know this kills you, but I need you to do this for me. Sagitarius, please keep guard in the entryway. Now do you know why they would be trying to break into your manor?" Lucy went on.

"There's only one person that's not welcome here. His name is James McGarettson, and he is my husband." Ambrosia stated, shocking them all.

(With Natsu)

I had just exited the last shop I needed stuff from, when I heard someone scream. Instinctively I ran toward the sound of the screaming. It turned out to be some girl in a maid outfit. She was crying hysterically.

"Hey! What's going on?" He asked the people around her. Looking at the worry on their faces gave him a sudden bad feeling in his stomach. "The girl says the Dalesworth Manor is under attack. Some band of dark guild. They chased her off before she could warn the people inside." Natsu took off. He had never been so scared in all his life. What if Lucy was still sleeping? What if the sleep left her too weak to fight? What if they took her? The last one was easy. He knew without a doubt he would kill them all if they even so much as laid a finger on his mate.

As he got closer he could see the guild blasting at some ward around the manor. The ward looked like it was barely hanging in there. Than he saw her. Clear as day and as beautiful as always. His Luce was in front of the manor surrounded by four of her spirits, and transformed into her Leo stardress. She even was still wearing his scarf, It made him so proud and happy to see that. Than he realized she was shouting to the guild who had stopped blasting the barrier momentarily.

"...should just give up. I'm a wizard on the strongest team of Fairy Tail, and I will warn you making an enemy of us is tantamount to death." He heard her saying. A warm and loving sensation came over him at her words. She wasn't gone. She still considered herself part of Fairy Tail, and part of their team.

"I don't see any other little fairies here little girl. Just get out of our way, we came for the Lady of the manor. We plan to collect her, and if we have to beat you down to do so then we will. You and your little wannabes." What looked liked the leader of the group stated.

"Ha! Nice try but I see through your intimidation tact. If you think your illusions will scare me try again. I know all about you Mr. McGarettson. You're a wizard gone rogue after you lost brother on a mission. Now you go around terrorizing people into getting what you want by making them believe that you and your "guild" will kill them otherwise. Ambrosia was the first one to stand up to you. She chose to leave because of the man you had become. You weren't the same man she married anymore. So tell me what makes you think I'm gonna let you take her anywhere?" Lucy said as she almost glowed with power. Suddenly he could feel it coursing through his veins too. He also saw what she saw now too. There wasn't a whole guild beating on the barrier. It was a single man dressed all in black. He had white hair and green eyes. Natsu swore he had seen him before.

"Plus you're also really stupid if you think that I'm alone in this fight. I not only have my spirits but I have the strongest wizard I have ever seen with me." Lucy smirked at him. She actually smirked, and Igneel help him if it didn't send a flood of very inappropriately timed feelings through him. When this over he would definitely make that little minx pay for her teasing. Now he was sure she knew of his presence.

"If you mean her little elemental magic, than you really haven't seen many wizards kid. If you don't move aside, I'll show you a really strong wizard." He laughed at her.

"No wonder she left you. You're a moron. Ambrosia is strong, but she is not who I'm referring to. Now leave or I'll show you how fired up I really am." Lucy said around another smirk. Natsu chuckled at the use of his catch phrase, but wanted to wipe that sexy smirk off her face. Once again he could feel her spike in power coursing through him, and Igneel above it felt so delicious that he wanted to fall to his knees. He wasn't sure what was happening to them right now, but he didn't have time to analyze as he watched his mate prepare to defend herself. The guy had taken a new attack stance. When this was over he was going to finish that damn book, Natsu thought to himself.

Just as he was about to show himself, he saw her shake her head ever so slightly at him. So his mate wanted to try this on her own. He had no problems with that, knowing perfectly well he was there if she needed him after all.

"Leo, Taurus, Capricorn stand by. Fight if he creates more illusions, but otherwise leave him to me." Lucy commanded as they moved behind her.

"You're quite cocky for a little thing. Maybe once I'm widowed I'll take a crack at that little saucy body of yours." The man shouted around a laugh. This pissed Natsu off, but what he saw from Lucy surprised him so much his anger faded fast.

"Shut up and fight me you disillusioned prick!" Lucy shouted as she stepped forward and swung her whip. Her whip was completely covered in golden flames. Hell she, herself, was surrounded in golden flames. Natsu had never seen anything like it. From the look on her spirit's faces neither had they. Than he heard her yell something he would never forget.

"I'M THE MATE OF THE MOST POWERFUL DRAGON SLAYER IN ALL OF FIORE! HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU WILL EVER COME BETWEEN US! CELESTIAL FIRE DRAGON WING ATTACK!" Lucy shouted before the man was engulfed a golden fire like no one had ever seen.
