Claudius began to power up, his throat began to glow a bright red color. He was about to release another destructive roar. One that'll rain blazing fire over the battlefield and destroy everyone except the cult members. Natsu quickly noticed this, he used his fire dragon roar to boost himself into the air where he quickly grabbed ahold of his tail, pulled himself onto his back and ran up his body as fast as he could.

"I'm not letting you destroy any more lives! Fire dragon iron fist!" he shouted. He hit him on his neck as hard as he could. His fire went straight into the sky, instead of the ground and exploded mid air.

Claudius was ever so mad now. He began to shake his body vigorously. Natsu hung onto one of his horns for dear life. But he managed to shake him off, flinging him into the air.

"Oh no, Natsu!" cried Happy.

"Dad!" cried Nashi. Happy flew quickly towards Natsu and Nashi quickly grabbed his hand. "Don't worry Dad, we got you."

Natsu looked at her and smiled "that's my girl" he said proudly. Happy was struggling to hold both of them.

"So heavy," he whined as he kept flapping his wings.

But, down on the battlefield, Lucy was surrounded by cult members.

"Earth wave!" she yelled, striking the ground with her whip.

Lucy sent so many cult members flying into the air. But Cassius avoided the attack and quickly grabbed a hold of Lucy's whip and tripped her with it. Cassius aimed his hand towards her and began to form a ball of fire.

"Lucy!" shouted Natsu.

"Mom!" cried Nashi. She quickly reached into her pocket and grabbed Leo's key. "Open, gate of the lion! Loke!"

Loke appeared right behind him, shocked by what he saw he raised his hands and charged at him and used his magic.

"Regulus gatling impact!" he shouted. Loke repeatedly punched Cassius, engulfing him and a few other cult members in a brilliant light and sent them flying into the air.

"Thank you Loke," said Lucy.

"No problem, I've always got your back beautiful" he said in his cool and relaxed tone.

Loke took a good look at Nashi. In just a few seconds he became attracted to her, his heart started to beat rapidly and his cheeks turned a rosy pink color.

"Who is that pink-haired beauty?" he said "She looks just like you Lucy".

Lucy karate chopped the top of his head."That pink-haired beauty is my daughter! So keep your hands to yourself!" she shouted angrily. She turned around and Lucy punched another cult member as hard as she could.

"Huh!? But I…..I thought she was a baby!?" he cried in shock as he rubbed his sore head with one hand and punched a few other cult members with the other.

"It's a long story," Lucy replied as she kicked an oncoming cult member.

"Leo, please help my mom!" Nashi cried from the sky.

"Anything for you sweetie" Loke said agreeingly and began to fight alongside Lucy who gave him a very demonic glare after hearing him call her daughter that.

"Can't…hold on.. Much..longer" Happy complained.

Claudius flew swiftly towards Nashi and Natsu seeing that they were distracted by her summoning Loke. Due to his flying the winds were so strong that Happy completely lost his grip. His heart fell as they plummeted towards the ground. Screaming in terror, he flew as quickly as he could. Reaching out desperately, he attempted to catch both of them but unfortunately he could only grab Nashi.

"Dad!" cried Nashi as she reached out her hand to him.

"Natsu!" Happy cried.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine" Natsu shouted as he continued to fall closer and closer to the ground. "Just try to lure him away from everyone! And Happy, keep Nashi safe!"

"Aye sir!" replied Happy.

Natsu directed his fire dragon's roar towards the ground, resulting in resistance to its force slowing his descent, making him land safely on the ground. When he landed,he was completely surrounded by cult members who tried to attack him. Natsu ran as fast as he could, punching every cult member coming at him, laundering them to the sky or smashing them to the ground.

Nashi nodded in response to her dad, and zeroed in on Claudius once again. She took a deep breath.

"Fire dragon roar!" she shouted. Nashi shot her fire into the sky towards Claudius to gain his attention. He flew directly at her roar and absorbed it into his body. He then proceeded to chase after Nashi and Happy. In hope to consume the rest of her magic.

Natsu held his flaming fists at the ready as a horde of cult members were converging on him. One after another, he threw his fire dragon iron fists, trying to make his way through the crowd. More cultists would charge in, taking the place of those who fell. In moments, he was completely surrounded.

They toppled over him. He felt the innumerable hands trying to grasp his flailing limbs, all of them too consumed by whatever Claudius had done to them to react to the damage his fire did to their searing skin. Natsu tried to fight his way out but it was no use.

"Earth wave!"

Natsu looked up at the sound of his wife's voice, just in time to see as she swung her whip, taking out all the cultists that ganged up on her husband. Lucy looked at Natsu, smiling and blushing at the impressed gaze he was sending her.

"Have I ever told you how sexy you are when you're aggressive?" Natsu said to his wife, grinning ear to ear.

"Natsu! Not in front of everyone! Save it for later!" she yelped. She blushed a lot, causing her face to turn a deep red color.

"You promise?" he replied as he smashed his fist into the face of a lingering cultist.

"Natsu-"

"-I love you!"

Lucy giggled, unable to stay mad at him.

"I love you too".

From the distance, both of them could hear the faint sound of Nashi's embarrassed voice, lamenting having inherited her father's sense of hearing and shouting at them to get a room.
