I am proud of my last chapter, I'm glad that everyone enjoyed it very much. I'm doing my best to throw in different twists and stuff like that. After this chapter or whatever, I'll add some romance with the other pairings. Let us continue. (I'm going to edit everything later)


"gihihihi, This is rather fun. Wouldn't you agree bunny-girl? shorty?" Gajeel was currently holding a struggling Aoi in one hand and Cho in the other. Cho was wailing in fear and agony as she hung from her right leg. Aoi roared in frustration as he tried to get out of the iron dragon slayers grip. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks as he reached for the infant out of desperation, "LET HER GO!"

Levy was on the floor breathing heavily. Gajeel had did a number on them as soon as they had arrived. Levy was on her hands and knees shaking. She turned her head to see lucy clutching her arm in pain. Lucy was glaring furiously at gajeel. Levy did the same and grit her teeth together as pain shot up her stomach and legs. She was sweating bullets as she tried to cope with the pain.

"STOP IT!" Aoi screamed in horror as he watched gajeel lift the baby up so that she was staring at her red, tear-stained face. Cho was still shrieking until she saw his red eyes. Gajeel had this annoyed expression on his face but he frowned. Despite him beating the shit out of the girls and attempting to knock out the kid, he knew better than to harm a defenseless infant.

He sighed and walked over to the girls and dropped Aoi in a corner away from them. He immediately slammed his foot against Aoi's head, forcefully knocking him out cold. Gajeel gazed at him for a bit in thought before the wailing of Cho brought back his attention. He grunted as he squatted down and flipped Cho so she was upright carefully.

Cho sobbing started to quiet down as she stared at the rough looking older male. Tears were still falling from her face but she couldn't help but stare at the apologetic look in his red eyes. It was still before cho cooed at him, causing him to grin softly. Levy and Lucy stared in shock.

From the angle that they were sitting, It looked like he was about to do something terrible. Well to levy at least. All Lucy could see was cho's face. She watched as the infants face brightened slightly. Fear still littered her eyes, but there was another emotion that showed.

And that emotion was Fascination.

Baby Cho was fascinated by the big bad black steel gajeel.

Levy and Lucy watched silently before a sudden realization invaded their thoughts. This was their chance to escape!

Both lucy and levy fought to stand, grunting when pain flared from the many bruises that adorned their skin. Without really thinking, Levy took a deep breath and slowly picked up a piece of wood that had dropped when he was "roughing" them up.

Lucy kept an eye on cho who was cooing softly at the oblivious male.

As the two mages crept forward towards them, cho glimpsed over his shoulder. Once her eyes met Lucy's, the expression immediately changed from a wary curiosity to an excited, joyful one.

Lucy's eyes widened in shock as cho squealed with happiness, her tiny hands opened and closed as she reaching over the slayer's shoulder. Lucy and levy stilled when gajeel slowly turned his head. His red eyes narrowed and pierced them. Before he could really react, levy ran over and smacked his head in the head with the piece of wood while lucy snatched cho away from his hands. She then ran over to Aoi and seized the back of his shirt before sprinting.

Levy hit him once more before dropping the now splintered piece and made a mad dash for lucy. Terror made its way up their spine when they heard a dark, animalistic growl and the sound of heavy feet behind them. Lucy glanced over at levy and saw that she was huffing and puffing. She looked like she was about to topple over in exhaustion and pain. Bruises and cuts decorated her legs and stomach. She wasn't in any better shape than she was.

Making a last decision, Lucy shoved Cho, who let out a startled cry, into the unsuspected Levy's arms. Lucy summoned whatever strength she had left to toss Aoi towards the door. He woke up with a start and grunted when he landed on the floor harshly. His vision was blurry as he tried to comprehend what the flippin' hell just happened. Just as his vision cleared, small hands and shouting filled his senses. A blob of blue and pink filled his vision before it pulled back, revealing an injured and tired levy and crying Cho.

'Why is cho crying? Why am I on the ground?'

However, Before he could ask himself any more questions, the sound of a shriek rung through his body. "Get up Aoi! We need to go. NOW!" Aoi sat up swiftly when levy pushed a sobbing Cho into his arms. He looked around and stiffened when he saw lucy on the ground in front of them, clawing viciously at a furious gajeel. Levy pushed him again, urging him to get up. "We need to go and get help! Please! Runaway Aoi!"

The next thing they knew, lucy flew past them and hit the concrete wall with a sickening thwack.

A silent scream escaped her mouth. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head before she fell unconscious, dropping to the floor heavily with her face down. "LU-CHAN!"

Cho reached towards lucy with shaky hands and wailed. She babbled before frustration bloomed on her face. She continued to babble before something astonishing happened.

"mmm...Mmmm...L..L.." Aoi and levy gawked with wide eyes.

'don't tell me... She's trying to call for lucy?!'

Cho's face turned red in frustration as she attempted to get the words out.

"L...Loo... L-lu! LU LU LU!" Aoi looked at her in astonishment and gasped. Levy was Just as surprised as Cho screamed "Lu" at the top of her lungs in excitement.

She waved her tiny arms around joyfully as she chanted the name. Cho stared at lucy as she expected her to look up and praise her for her amazing achievement. However, when lucy didn't react to the call, she frowned, a small whimper came out of her mouth before she called her again, but louder. When she didn't get a reaction the second time, She started to struggle against Aoi worriedly. She started to frantically reach for the blonde.

The sound of heavy footsteps brought their attention back to the dragon slayer behind them. Gajeel immediately rushed at them with a roar.

"Aoi! Get Cho out of here! GO!" Levy scrambled to her feet with Aoi and rolled out of the way as gajeel's attack hit the wall, sending them flying.

"B-but!" He glanced at lucy with a fearful look then back at levy. "Just...Please GET AWAY FROM HERE!" Levy used her magic quickly, "Solid Scrip: Oil!" The word Oil appeared suddenly in front of here. An extensive amount of black oil shot out of the word and went straight for gajeel.

He cackled and didn't bother to dodge the oil, thinking that it wasn't going to do much damage, and collided with it head-on.

"Gihihi! What the hell is oil going to do squirt?" Levy smirked when she saw gajeel slowing down. "Oil slows you down you bucket of bolts! Let's take this chance to escape Aoi!" Gajeel's eyes widened in shock as he slowly became immobilized. Aoi jumped up quickly and handed a sobbing cho to levy. He then went to lucy and slowly lifted her up, making sure that she was on his back. Once he was standing, levy and Aoi looked at each other before running towards the door.

Gajeel watched them furiously as they ran out the door and started to struggle. He snarled loudly, "SOL! GET THOSE SONS OF BITCHES RIGHT NOW!"

Sol appeared from the ground and nodded, "Right away non-non." He slowly merged back into the ground and out of sight. Gajeel stared down at himself before he tensed up. He slowly inched his way forward before he forced his entire body out of the oil. He turned his nose up in disgust as the oil filled the air, attacking his senses.

'I'm going to kill that blue-headed bitch.'

He immediately went through the door and ran after them.


Juvia, natsu and everyone else that was with them ran until they were right in front of the guild doors. Natsu didn't hesitate as he kicked the door right off its hinges. As it collided with the ground, it made a loud bang that reverberated around the guild, surprising the members inside.

It took a moment for the members of Phantom Lord to start attacking. Natsu stood there as the others rushed off past him to strike.

Many of the mages had weapons. Erza had summoned her swords and started to take out members one by one. Gray was shooting ice left and right like there was no tomorrow.

"Erza! Gray! We're going ahead with natsu to locate them!"

Gray and Erza spared a glance towards the rest of the rescue team before nodding, "Hurry and go find them! We'll take care of things here!" They were already moving before gray could finish.

Natsu twitched when he heard a babies scream and a yelp coming from above. "Juvia thinks that they're upstairs somewhere. We must hurry and help them! Juvia will try to stop Gajeel and Sol!" They quickly darted up the stairs and ran down a hallway.

Natsu could distinctly hear someone cry in pain, along with an infuriated roar and someone shouting out a spell.


"Forget About Us Aoi! Just Take Cho and Run! Solid script: Bullet!"

A loud explosion resounded throughout the guild.

Everyone shielded their faces from the unexpected force behind the blast before looking forward. A curled up body came out of nowhere and struck both Kiyoshi and Tatsuo harshly, making them fly back and smack into elfman who caught them.

The three that were on the ground groaned in pain and a wail echoed around them. The scream got louder and louder and everyone that was nearby was forced to their knees. They desperately attempted to block out the noise, but it pierced them. It pierced their very souls.

Natsu was snarling as he covered his ears tightly. The sound of glass shattering covered the entire guild. The whole building pulsed and vibrated because of the wail. The only ones that weren't affected were Kiyoshi and tatsuo.

"This scream..." They moved from under the curled up body and gasped. The curled up body was none other than Aoi. And the wailing was from Cho.

"AOI! C-CHO!" Both Kiyoshi and tatsuo cried tears of joy as they pulled them towards themselves.

Aoi groaned in pain before looking at them, "T-tasuo? Kiyoshi?"

"That's right! We're here now!" Aoi sat up with Cho carefully. Cho was sobbing into his shirt and babbling. "L-Lu! Lu!" Tatsuo and kiyoshi stiffened, "Did...Did she just?" Aoi's eyes widened. He sprung up and ran off in the direction he came from with Cho.

The two older siblings panicked and ran after him, "Stop! Come back! Shit, Tatsuo! you need to run after them and help. I'll get everyone moving soon!" Tatsuo didn't wait any longer before he was chasing down his younger siblings. Kiyoshi looked at them before he radiated a faint green. The radiance expanded and washed over everyone. "Nature's dragon healing: Restoration!" Slowly, everyone recovered from the wailing and stood up on unsteady legs.

Natsu snarled at him and shoved him against the wall harshly.

Him shoving Kiyoshi into the wall startled everyone greatly. "What the fuck are you?! you will answer me right here, right now!" Kiyoshi stiffened under Natsu's grip before sighing. "C-can we do this later? I promise to tell you, but we have to go after my brothers and sister." Natsu stared at him with dark eyes before letting him go. Kiyoshi coughed as natsu walked away from them angrily. Mirajane went over to Kiyoshi to help him up before they followed the angry slayer.

Another explosion and screaming happened, making everyone run towards the sounds of fighting. Juvia came to a door and flung it open forcefully. Everyone's eyes widened in shock while Natsu's eyes narrowed in fury. Lucy, Levy, Aoi, and Cho were on one side of the large room. Natsu almost felt his heart stop when he saw the state lucy was in. She was a complete and bloody mess. Wounds covered her body from head to toe. Blood trickled out of the cuts at a very sluggish speed. Her eyes were open slightly and she was standing in front of an unconscious Aoi and a weeping Cho. Levy was also unconscious but she looked alright.

'She probably used too much magic..'

On the other side of the room, Sol was out cold. He was slumped against the wall with white eyes. In the middle of it was a snarling Tatsuo and Gajeel. Tatsuo was glowing a silvery blue. Scales of the same color covered the sides of his face, neck, and arms. His eyes shone an electric blue.

"Ice Dragons Roar!"

"Iron dragons Roar!"

A blue, almost white colored roar that was made of ice and snow collided with a black colored roar that was filled with tiny pieces of metal. The two roars forced them to fly back. Gajeel yelped when he crashed into the wall. Tatsuo, on the other hand, crashed into a barely standing lucy.

They yelped and hit the wall harshly. They groaned as they slid down. "Tatsuo!" "LUCE!" Natsu roared as he ran over with Kiyoshi. Tatsuo quickly moved out of the way as natsu pulled a groaning lucy to him. "Shit." Kiyoshi tensed when he saw Aoi and Cho. Lucy looked up to see pink hair and troubled onyx eyes. "...Natsu?" He let out a sigh of relief before glaring at gajeel.

"Natsu. I'll take care of them.." He looked up to see kiyoshi staring down at them in worry and fury. Natsu hesitated for only a moment before he stood up. Lucy was propped up against the wall and groaned. Cho's ears twitched, the sound of a familiar sigh made her stop weeping and snap her head towards the sound.

As soon as her eyes met the eyes of the blonde, She squealed and brightened up with so much excitement, everyone -not Natsu- smiled. Cho crept over to lucy and started to chant her name.

"Lu! Lu Lu Lu LU!" Lucy's eyes widened in shock before she laughed airily. She gingerly placed Cho on her lap and beamed with delight, "Can you say that again sweetie?" Cho hugged the blonde and continued to say the name.

Lucy teared up and hugged the baby closely, "Good job. What a good girl! You said my name Cho! You did such a good job!" Cho couldn't help but puff her tiny chest out proudly at the praise. Cho babbled as lucy brushed her head affectionately.

Kiyoshi smiled before he glowed green again. He held out a hand and took a deep breath, "Nature Dragons Healing: Restoration!" Lucy's eyes widened in surprise as a gentle wave of magic engulfed her entire body. It expanded so it reached both Aoi and levy who were out. It was a while when the glow around them dissipated to the air.

Lucy looked at her body and saw that she was all healed. She felt good as new! She stood up with Cho and cradled the happy child in her arms before glaring at Gajeel who was waiting patiently.

"Gajeel-san!" his eyes widened with surprise and shock when he saw juvia glaring at him.

"W-water Woman?! What are you doing with these fairies?" Gajeel stared at juvia angrily.

Juvia stepped forward fearlessly and crossed her arms. "Juvia decided that she was going to stop this once and for all. Juvia will not stand for you to hurt Juvia's precious Gray-sama and Heartfilia-san! Juvia will quit Phantom lord and join Fairy tail so she can be with Gray-sama! Please gajeel-san... Please come back with Juvia. You don't have to do what phantom lord tells you!"

Gajeel stared at her bewildered. This was the first time he's seen her stand up proudly. Her depressing aura wasn't there anymore either.

Lucy watched in surprise and waited to see what would happen next. Gajeel stared juvia down before sighing. "I.. I don't know about that Juvia. Jose ain't going to be too happy about this."

Juvia smiled softly, "Master Jose can't do anything to us anymore. Juvia promised everyone that she was going to help bring them back home. Fairy tail welcomed juvia with open arms. Juvia feels at home in fairy tail! Home gajeel-san! I never had a home before!"

"You guys want a home to come too?" Everyone turned so they faced levy, who was slowly standing up with Lucy's help. Aoi was up surprisingly and was watching gajeel warily.

Juvia turned to levy and nodded happily, "Juvia always wanted a home. Juvia would do anything to have a family like yours!" After a moment of silence, juvia shyly added, "Gajeel-san also want's a place to call home." Gajeel glared, "Watch it ju-" Juvia cut him off with a smile.

"Juvia and gajeel-san were always together when we were kids. We had no one, just each other. Master jose found us one day and took us in. He claimed that Phantom lord was a family." Juvia paused and frowned a bit, "Juvia regrets joining this guild after she has seen yours. You all were like a family... Juvia wants that very much." Gajeel stared at the ground with a blank look.

He fisted his hands towards his side before releasing a heavy sigh. "The water woman is right." This made everyone turn their attention to gajeel.

He had crossed his arms and looked annoyed, "We want out of this dump." They all stared at both juvia and Gajeel.

The first person to move was levy. She stalked over to gajeel and once she in front of him, she placed her hands on her hips and looked up at his face with calculating eyes. Gajeel narrowed his eyes at her cautiously. Levy gazed at his face, studying it carefully. He shifted slightly since he wasn't used to people just staring at him directly like that.

To everyone's surprise, she suddenly held out a hand. Gajeel stared at the hand blankly before looking at her.

Levy didn't break eye contact and continued to stare at him. Gajeel tensed before he slowly grabbed her hand gently. this made levy smile softly, "I forgive you black steel gajeel. We'll take you to fairy tail!" Juvia cheered and his eyes widened. Was he going to join fairy tail? Seriously? And the tiny blue-haired woman was going to forgive him?

Lucy giggled and called out. "I forgive you too gajeel! I understand that you were doing what you were ordered to do. I'm not the type to hold grudges." Gajeel snapped his head up to stare at lucy. Gajeel's eyes softened before he looked away, "tch.. Whatever."

Levy looked back at lucy. The two girls looked at each other before giggling. Cho was asleep now. Aoi huffed and grumbled under his breath, "I guess I gotta forgive you too.." Gajeel couldn't help but smirk before a huge explosion shook the building. They screamed in surprise as it creaked and trembled.

Gray and Erza burst through the doors, "We need to Go! This damn place is about to come down!" "That damn bastard Jose shot a cannon at his own guild!"

Juvia gasped in shock, "Juvia can't believe this! He really did it?!" Gajeel placed a hand on her shoulder, "Now's not the time to worry, we need to get the fuck out of here unless you want to be buried alive." Juvia nodded. "Juvia understands."

With that, everyone rushed out of the doors as quickly as possible. Everything started to crumble as their feet hit the floor.

Levy and lucy were lagging behind because they still had some injuries, and lucy was carrying Cho who was whimpering. Levy didn't want to leave them behind so she kept pace with lucy. Gajeel and natsu realized that they were lagging and growled in frustration before they each grabbed someone.

Gajeel threw levy onto his shoulders, causing her shriek in surprise and Natsu swept lucy off her feet, holding her bridal-style. They then ran until they reached the entrance.

Many of Phantom Lords mages were already gone. The ceiling had started to cave in and lucy screamed when a beam fell down. Natsu tightened his gripped and jumped out of the way. He stumbled when the ground shook but he continued to run.

They rushed out of the guild seconds before the entire building had collapsed. They coughed and stared at the now destroyed dark guild. Juvia stared at the building sadly before shaking her head.

Gajeel saw this a frowned before he yelped. "Dammit Shrimp! Alright Alright! I'm putting ya down see?!" He dropped levy on the ground and she glared furiously at him before huffing. She muttered some colorful words as she stood up.

Erza stared at gajeel for a bit with surprise and caution, "Let's hurry and return to the guild. Master is waiting for our return."

Gray and erza's eyes lingered on gajeel with hate. Levy and lucy saw this and spoke up. "Gajeel is on our side guys."

"Yea, We already forgave him. Aoi did as well, right?" Aoi nodded. Erza and gray looked at them slightly before turning their attention back to gajeel. "I guess so."

Cho looked over at gajeel for a bit before she raised her hands and cooed at him.

Lucy chuckled when she saw her action and levy kicked gajeel's legs. He jumped and glared at levy, only to see her gesturing to Cho. He looked over and saw the baby cooing at him. Gajeel wasn't sure what to do.

Lucy saw his uneasiness and giggled, "It's alright gajeel. We saw you holding Cho earlier. She looked curious." Lucy held cho out so gajeel could take her.

When he came closer, natsu growled out as a warning. Lucy threw him a small glare and smiled when gajeel took cho. Cho immediately curled up into the dragon slayer and instantly fell asleep.

Lucy, levy, Tatsuo, Kiyoshi, Aoi and himself looked at Cho in surprise.

Kiyoshi whined quietly, "what is the world coming too?!"

The girls chuckled to themselves as they continued to walk to the guild.

It was relatively quiet when they reached the guild. Erza paused a bit suddenly, making everyone cast curious glances towards her. Natsu, gajeel, and the boys tensed up and growled.

"MOVE!" Everyone jumped out of the way just as several phantoms landed were they once were. They looked up and gasped. Dark shadows were floating around the guild. The all had a body figured, they wore what they guessed was armor and they each had a sword. There were at least 200 phantoms that surrounded them and the guild.

Bisca and alzack came out suddenly, "Everyone inside right now! Phantom Lord suddenly attacked the guild while you guys went out to go rescue the girls and the kid!" They started to shoot at the phantoms that were moving towards them.

Gajeel growled, "I know where that José bastard is. I heard a bit of his plan earlier. He's in this walking palace thing and he plans on destroying the guild if plan A didn't work in his favor." Gray stiffened while the others stared at him in shock.

Levy gulped, "We won't let him do what he wants! We'll protect fairy tail!" Juvia glanced at lucy slightly and frowned, "The only reason why mas- err, José is doing this is because he wants lucy-san." Lucy tensed up and grit her teeth.

Natsu felt her tense and looked down at her. He could see the anger and sadness in her glossy brown eyes. He stayed silent for a bit before he set her down, surprising lucy. He muttered quietly so lucy was the only one that could hear him, "Don't worry lucy... I'll take that bastard down and the person who hired him." Lucy stared at him before looking away. "...Natsu... Leave the one who hired phantom lord to me. I know exactly who he is." she gripped her skirt, looking up at the sky with burning eyes.

Lucy turned so she was facing everyone, "Guys. I'm so sorry that you all are being dragged into this mess." She bowed low, tears started to fall from her eyes to the ground. Everyone in the guild looked at lucy with surprised, questioning stares.

She straightened her back and took a deep breath, "My father is the one who hired those bastards," Lucy glanced at gajeel and juvia slightly, "No offense to you guys." They both muttered a none taken. "So um... My father is Jude Heartfilia." Master hummed to himself and stroked his chin, "So you're the daughter of the owner of the Heartfilia Konzern?" Lucy nodded softly, "I have some sort of idea on why he wants to bring me back all of a sudden."

Erza crossed her arms, "And what would be that reason?" Lucy frowned, "He most likely wants to marry me off so he could gain more money and stay rich."

Levy blinked, "So in other words, He wants you to come back for an arranged marriage?"

Lucy scowled and glared at the ground, "That's right. That bastard only cares about money. It's money this, and money that. He never gave a damn about me!"

Mirajane placed a hand on her shoulder and frowned softly, "He had to love you at one point, right?" Lucy stayed quiet. He really did never gave two shits about her, but... She did remember how caring he used to be when her mother was alive.

She shuddered at the memory of his expression when her mom died that day. He had looked so hurt and angry. When he looked at lucy, he had immediately lashed out and tried to strangle her. He kept yelling about how I killed her and that If I wasn't born then she would still be there. The maids that were nearby had worked together to pull him away and usher lucy away from the madman.

Lucy hadn't stopped crying for 5 days. After that incident with him, she hid inside of her room and only came out when the maids dragged her out of the room in frilly pink stuffy gowns.

She hated her father with every fiber of her being.

Mirajane probably realized that she had a pretty bad past and pulled her into a hug, snapping lucy out of the dreadful memories of her childhood. She heard mira coo at her, telling her that things were going to be fine. Her cheeks suddenly felt cold and wet. She lifted her hand and touched her left cheek.

'Tears? I was crying?' Lucy took a few minutes to collect herself before she pulled away from the warm embrace. "thank you mira, I'm fine now." Mira smiled, "Anytime lucy. and we aren't angry with you. We'll do what we can to protect you." The guild roared in agreement, smiles were on everyone's faces, including Natsu's.

Lucy smiled softly, "Thank you..."

A huge explosion went off outside of the guild. Some of the members gasped in surprise. The ones who went out to save lucy and the others ran out first. Lucy and levy followed after them quickly. A giant machine was in the distance. A massive cannon was pointing towards the guild and the sound of Jose's voice rung out throughout the area.

"I see that the fairy scums came out to play. It seems like you all have reclaimed my prize. But I must ask that you return her this once. If you hand over the girl, no one gets 's hurt and we can continue on with our lives." Natsu growled at this and stood in front of lucy.

Makarov walked out and stood in front of Fairy tail. "I must disagree Jose. There will never be a time when I hand over one of my children to the enemy. But if you insist, then I guess we must go to war. You have gone too far this time. You first kidnap four of my children, you harm them, and now you threaten my guild."

Silence covered the area before the sound of José's voice rung out again, "Is this how we're going to play Makarov? Then I'll give you and those pathetic taste of what I'm made of!" the sound of something starting filled everyone's ears. The inside of the cannon suddenly started to glow a bright blue.

"EVERYONE GET BACK!"

Erza ran forward and changed her armor, "Requip: Adamantine Armor! I'll try to hold off this blast!" Erza grounded her feet together and slammed her shields together, allowing a massive barrier to appeared.

Before they could blink, A deafening sound rang out as the cannon fired a large magic blast at the guild. The blast collided with the barrier, almost sending erza flying. She stood her ground and let out a battle cry as she pushed. Her armor slowly started to crack from the force of the blast. A piece of armor fell off of her body, her shield along with the barrier started to crack slowly. The pressure that she felt was making her lose her footing. Finally, the barrier shattered and sent erza flying. She rolled across the ground before coming to a stop in front of a shocked gray. "ERZA!"

Luckily, the blast from the cannon ended. The sound of Jose's voice came back as a cackle, "do you see now you pathetic fairies?! You can't win! The next blast will happen in five minutes. I will call off the attack if you give me the brat." Natsu stared at erza with a hidden rage. Lucy was on her knees, covering her mouth as she sobbed silently.

Levy stood up tall with fury, "We Will NEVER Hand Lu-chan Over To Someone Like You!"

"Protecting your guild-mates is MANLY!"

"Juvia Won't let You Do What You Want Anymore!"

"WE WILL PROTECT LUCY!"

Lucy couldn't stop the new stream of tears that escaped her eyes. Natsu looked up at the machine and snarled darkly, "I'll take that sonovabitch down myself." Happy flew up and grabbed natsu before he took off towards the giant weapon.

Gajeel, Juvia, Tatsuo, Kiyoshi, Mirajane, and Elfman took off after the raging ball of dark flames. Levy grabbed lucy and pulled her out of the way just as a phantom crashed into the ground. "Don't worry Lu-chan! Just leave it to them! They're going to take care of things!" Gray picked up erza and glanced at lucy, "For now, we need to defend the guild." Lucy nodded. She watched gray carry erza inside before she wiped her face. Determination shone in her eyes. Lucy and levy ran inside the guild for cover while some of the remaining ones outside attacked the phantoms.

Aoi was sitting in a corner holding Cho in his lap. Cho was looking around the guild with excitement and squealed when she saw lucy in the distance. "Lu! Lu!"

Lucy heard the childish voice and smiled as she turned her head. Aoi nodded towards them slightly before standing up, he then walked over and handed the struggling baby to lucy.

She cradled the infant and giggled, "Hey Cho!"

"Lu!" Cho held Lucy's face towards her and stared with a serious expression. Lucy's eyes widened in surprise before they softened, "I'm alright cho, I'm not hurt. The scary man isn't going to do anything to me." Cho continued to stare at her for a bit before a smile made its way onto her face.

"Lu! Lu! Saph!" Lucy giggled while levy and Aoi's eyes widened with amusement and surprise, "She must really like lucy if she's suddenly talking." Aoi simply nodded, he didn't bother to say anything and just watched the exchange.

Lucy walked to the bar and set cho down. She immediately started to play with her by making silly faces and tickling her. Levy looked at the guild doors and sighed.


Happy flew above the cannon and dropped natsu, who landed silently on top of the massive weapon. "You can go back now. It's too dangerous for a cat like you to be here." Happy silently glanced at natsu, "I don't think so natsu. I can help too ya know! I'm just as much as a fairy tail mage as you are!" Natsu glared at happy before he sighed, "tch. Let's just hurry. This bastard needs to pay for doing this to lucy."

Happy smiled slightly as he followed natsu. 'He seriously likes her. It's ridiculous how he tries to keep up the tough act..' Happy thought for a second, 'and how he's remarkably dense. I wonder.'

Natsu stealthily ran into the cannon, his black scarf trailing behind him. He continued until he appeared into a room. In the middle of the room stood a massive lacrima.

Happy murmured quietly, "Is this the thing that replenishes the cannon?" Natsu didn't respond. He was staring at the thing with a blank expression. He suddenly tensed and jumped out of the way when a eruption of fire landed in the place he was previously standing. He turned and saw a man snickering. His arms were crossed and he was leaning against the wall.

"What an honor! the dark and scary chaos dragon slayer has come to play!"

Natsu stayed silent before he looked away and proceeded to head towards the lacrima. Happy hovered near the entrance quietly as he watched the intruder. "Hey! Pinkie! Don't ignore me damn it!" Happy gulped and uttered a, 'I'm going to find the others' before he raced out.

Natsu stopped walking and a surge of dark energy burst into the room. Black and blue flames slowly enveloped natsu as he turned. The man stiffened when he saw Natsu's eyes, his pupils were like slits, a killer intent was swimming in his dark eyes. He gulped before standing up straight.

"Ahem. My name is Totomaru! I'm the last member of the elemental 4. I must say that you sir, are at an extreme disadvantage." The man called totomaru smirked.

Natsu stared at him blankly, "Don't waste my time trash. If you know what's good for you, I recommend that you run away while you still can." Totomaru sneered, "Oh yea? And why would I possibly want to do that?" Natsu lowered his head so his bangs covered his eyes. A sinister smirk appeared on his face as the massive lacrima exploded into tens of millions of tiny pieces.

Totomaru paled when natsu looked up. "Because I'm going to bring this piece of shit to the ground."


Happy flew until he was outside. He hovered for a second before sighing. He was going to have to come back later just in case. Happy looked around and saw the others running towards the machine. He flew down and called out to them, "Guys!"

Everyone looked up and stopped in their tracks. "Natsu's already fighting. I think there are other lacrimas inside." Juvia stepped forward, "There are exactly 7. I'm guessing natsu-san already destroyed the lacrima that powered the cannon?"

Happy nodded, "Aye sir!"

"Alright, so now there's 6 more left. Juvia suggests that everyone splits up and destroys a lacrima." Gajeel frowned, "Oi. Water woman, you forgot about the important thing!" Juvia glared at gajeel slightly.

"We also need to destroy Grimoire Heart." Juvia nodded, "That is the main source of jose's power. Juvia thinks it's in the lower area on the Super Mage Giant Phantom MK ll..."

Everyone looked at juvia and gajeel with a confused expression. Tatsuo tilted his head, "Um... Super mage giant...What?"

Juvia blushed out of embarrassment while gajeel simply tsked, "Don't look at us. The dumbass we used to call master named it."

"Juvia is embarrassed by the name, to be honest."

Everyone nodded and started saying stuff like, 'I would be too'.

Mirajane cleared her throat, gaining everyone's attention, "Let's not get sidetracked here. We need to go help natsu out. I don't think he knows that there are others located through the... Giant Phantom.." Everyone nodded in agreement. Mirajane changed into her satan soul and grabbed elfman before flying up. Gajeel and juvia used their magic to launch them into the air. Happy grabbed both kiyoshi and tatsuo before following the others.

"Alright everybody! We are going to split up here. I need someone to also let natsu know about the grimoire heart as well."

Happy muttered a 'that's if he doesn't go berserk and destroy the entire building.'

Everyone heard him and nodded in agreement. The last time he completely obliterated an entire building was when they were kids, right before natsu got happy. Gray was being a dumbass and stole Natsu's scarf after the master had warned them not too.

That day, natsu had destroyed the entire guild and a few buildings that were nearby in his outrage. Mirajane shook her head, placing a hand on her cheek, "Let's hope that it never happens again." Elfman nodded.

Once they had the plan, they all went their separate ways. Happy flew off to return to natsu.


Kiyoshi ran quickly into the building and down a hallway. He could hear someone, probably natsu, fighting. He continued to run until he appeared into a room. A giant lacrima stood proudly in the center of the room.

He walked in and looked around quietly. The room was pretty big. It was enough to fit the damn lacrima.

He walked towards it and studied it silently. 'Never knew that lacrima's could be this big... well, better finish this now so I can get back to Cho and aoi.'

He placed a hand on the surface firmly, the surface felt cold to him. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, he could feel the energy of the lacrima surround the room. He summoned some vines and moved them towards the giant crystal ball. One of the vines tapped it. Kiyoshi moved back so he was from a safe distance and sent a wave of magic into the air. the vines pulsed and the violently started to attack the crystal.

After a while, he stopped the attack to examine the ball. There were barely any scratches on the surface.

He decided that if anything could break it, it would be his roar. He moved his legs so that one was behind him, foot pointing towards the wall. He took a deep breath as he leaned back, he gathered energy from the plants outside before he brought his upper body forward, his mouth opened and a light green magic circle appeared in front of him.

"Nature's dragons roar!" His roar was filled with razor-sharp leaves. Mixed in with some of his magic, it looked majestic as it slammed into the lacrima. sharp leaves struck the surface, some piercing through while others simply damaged the surface.

Once his roar was done, he summoned his vines and let them attack the lacrima. Fortunately, it started to crack as each vine stuck it with force. A small hole appeared in the lacrima and kiyoshi sent all of his vines into the hole, filling the lacrima to the brim.

It immediately exploded into tiny pieces, causing him to cheer.

"That took too long. I'm getting rusty. I have to train more and practice. my roar should have destroyed it."

He sweat-dropped, "Sorry Shizen. I'm a failure as a nature dragon slayer." Kiyoshi chuckled when he remembered his calm and sweet mother dragon. She was so patient with him. He remembered a few times when she snapped and would use every plant in the forest to destroy a dark guild that would attack them.

He smiled sadly as he held out his wrist, A bracelet rested there. It was wooden with a variety of large and small emerald gems, which formed the shape of a dragon. The dragon curled around a larger stone, which was a sapphire. The color of his mothers' eyes. The crystal blue eyes that held hope and joy and every positive emotion that was out there. She was always happy, there had never been a day when she was sad. Except for the night before she disappeared.

He had woken up to the sound of singing. He remembers how heartbroken he was when he saw her crying as she sung out to the stars. He had feigned sleep when she turned to look at him. He heard her go over to him, resting her head next to his tiny body.

He remembers what she had said to him that night.

"I love you, my dear precious child. I am so glad that I was able to meet you, and raise you into the fine young man you are now. I want you to remember that no matter where I am, I will always be with you, watching over you, praying for your safety. Don't ever let sadness stop you. Don't ever let the negative emotions get to you. Watch over those that you care for, no matter what. Protect them. Show them all of the wonderful things in life. I will leave you a gift. It's a bracelet, made from my scales. The gems are from the lake nearby. And the sapphire is from my treasure. Wear it as a reminder that I will always be there. I Love You So Much Kiyoshi."

She then started to sing a lullaby softly.

Tears fell down his cheeks as the memories faded. "Don't worry Shizen. I will never, ever forget you. No matter what."

Kiyoshi wiped his eyes before he walked out, singing the same lullaby his mother would sing.


Tatsuo walked down the halls slowly, looking out for any signs of danger. He sighed softly when he heard an explosion in the distance.

'Kiyoshi must be done. I better hurry so he doesn't leave me behind.'

He picked up the pace before he found a set of giant oak doors at the end of the hallway. He looked up at the door before he pushed it open. A lacrima sat in the center of the room.

It glowed a soft yellow, making the entire room have a yellow tint to it.

Tatsuo walked forward until he was a few feet away from it. He didn't hesitate as his fists glowed an icy blue, frost covered his hands as he leaped up and struck the lacrima roughly. It didn't crack or anything when he dropped down, not even a scratch.

He frowned before he charged again and struck the ball harshly. He backed up to look at his work and saw that it really only left a few scratches. This made him frown even more.

"Why the hell is it not breaking?" He took a deep breath, the room suddenly grew cold, ice appeared under him, making its way towards the lacrima. It slowly covered the entire thing before spikes erupted from it.

It pierced the crystal from all sides, causing it to explode. Tatsuo yelped in surprise as he was sent flying into the wall. He groaned when his head slammed heavily against the wall. He stood up, holding his head and glared at the empty space.

"Kori would skewer me is he saw this.." He giggled.

Kori was an ice and snow dragon. He was a rather large, slim, snowy white dragon with tints of icy blue. He was a rather funny dragon. Child-like really. he would always joke around and do weird stuff, like, one time. He had made an ice sculpture of himself. It would have made every artistic person in the entire world cringe and cry. It didn't even look like a dragon, it literally looked like a blobfish.

Tatsuo was on the floor crying with laughter while Kori was nodding at his creation.

He couldn't help but laugh as he remembers Kori's face when he showed it to one of the humans that would visit him and himself. Kori was in the corner in his cave crying and saying things about 'mean little men' and 'that was my best one yet'.

Tatsuo was on the ground as he howled with laughter. The memories were great. Tatsuo started to calm down as he remembered the night before he disappeared. Kori had looked kinda upset that day. He was by the snowy mountains, buried under the snow. He would bury himself in snow if he was really upset about something, which wasn't uncommon for the child-like dragon. He remembers when Kori had came out of his snow blanket and picked him up.

They flew up so that they were on top of the mountain, staring out into the horizon. Kori had suddenly started to tell him jokes and stories of his adventures when he was only a child. He smiled at the memory. Kori had then took him to the base of the mountains, where a small town stayed.

Kori had told him that they were going to stay there overnight. Kori had this silly smile as they fell asleep. The next day, when he woke up, instead of hearing the cheerful voice of his father, or seeing the silly grin on his dragon face, he was met with faces of different people.

Tatsuo was on the snowy ground in nothing but shorts. He was terrified when he saw people surround him. He frowned. He remembered when a woman handed him something. Said that when they found him, it was on his stomach.

Tatsuo looked down at his chest and held up a necklace. It was a beauty. Shards of crystals hung from the necklace. Tiny blue and beads were next to each crystal. Two whites on the ends and two blues in the middle, making four. There were three crystals. The middle was bigger than the others. Inside was a scale from his father. It reflected in the light. The other two changed colors in the light.

Tatsuo smiled as he stared at the scale. "Love you too, you silly dragon."

He jumped up and stretched, "Now's not the time to remember the past. I need to go catch up with kiyoshi."

With that, he walked out with a bounce in his steps.


Timeskip~

Everyone was done and we're currently trying to find the grimoire heart.

"Dammit water woman! Where the hell is it?!"

"Don't look at Juvia! Juvia isn't sure where it could be!"

"Will you both shut up!? We're almost there."

"Fighting isn't MANLY!"

"SHUT UP ELFMAN!"

"Oh dear..."

They all ran until they appeared in what seemed like the main room of the building. They all gasped when they were met with Jose, who was sitting in a chair smirking. He crossed his legs and glanced at juvia and gajeel. "Ah, I see that you two have done your jobs. You have done well Black steel. Rain woman." Gajeel growled while juvia glared.

Mirajane walked forward and gave him a death glare, "Jose. We will take you and this place down." He chuckled. "You may have stopped my cannon, but you don't honestly think you can defeat me... Do you? I like to see you pathetic fairies try and stop me. Dark Pulse!"


Totomaru he held his hand up, "I Won't let you do what you want!" All of a sudden, an orange flame shot out of a magic circle and hit natsu in the face, sending him back. A disgusting smell made its way into Natsu's sensitive nose. The scent smelled like a combination of dog shit, vomit, and a corpse. Natsu felt bile crawl its way up is throat, leaving a burning sensation at the back of his throat.

Tears appeared at the corner of his eyes as he forced the disgusting liquid back down his throat. A menacing growl escaped his lips as he stood up. One hand covered his nose and mouth as the other was on the wall for support. Totomaru cackled and started to taunt the already pissed slayer, "Nyahaha! What's the matter buddy? Was the smell too much for your nose?" Natsu's eyes snapped over to totomaru darkly.

He snickered while he waved a hand, "I got more where that came from pal!" He immediately summoned blue fire and launched it at natsu. He jumped away just as the blue fire hit the wall with a boom. The wall slowly turned into ice. Totomaru didn't give natsu the chance to examine the wall as he sent one ball of blue and orange flames after another.

Natsu tsked as he maneuvered around the balls of fire easily, keeping his eyes on totomaru who was frowning. Out of nowhere, natsu felt something slippery under his feet, with a startled yelp, he tripped on the ice that was on the floor and was sent to the wall as an orange flame hit him dead on.

He hissed in pain as his foot, the one that stepped on the ice, slowly froze over. Frostbite bit at his leg and toes. The smell of the orange flame wasn't helping him at all. It was overwhelming all of his senses.

Totomaru burst into a fit of laughter, "This is awesome! This is just awesome! I'm beating the most dangerous person in fairy tail! Ahahahaha!"

Natsu started to lose feeling in his foot and shin as he stood up. No way in hell was he going to let this bastard get away with this.

Ignoring the pain, he dashed forward and sucker punched totomaru with a black and blue flaming fist. He let out a strangled cry as he was sent back into the opposite wall.

Groaning, he slowly stood up and growled at natsu, he then proceeded in taking out his concealed katana. He swung it around a few times before he set the blade on fire. Different colored flames appeared on the blade, causing him to smirk. "Let's see how you can fair with this."

He suddenly disappeared into thin air. Natsu's senses were on high alert as he stood still. He immediately jumped to the right as the blade swung down from behind him.

The ground exploded, causing natsu to fly back a bit. He succeeded in landing on his feet but was a bit too late considering totomaru was already next to him. He swung, hitting Natsu's sides.

When the blade made contact with his side, it exploded, causing him to scream out in pain because of the ice that suddenly appeared.

He hit the wall harshly with a crack. Totomaru's hand that wasn't holding his katana, held a purple flame. He snickered as he threw it at a dizzy natsu. Natsu's instincts kicked in as he rolled away from it. The purple flame formed into a net as soon as it made contact with the ground.

Natsu jumped away as another purple flame appeared in his spot. One by one, balls of purple flames were launched at him at a rapid pace.

Natsu dodged them all quickly, however, he was too focused on dodging that he didn't see the blue flame coming at him. It hit him right in the chest. He snarled in agony as the ice-coated his chest. It left a burning sensation that the dragon slayer wasn't used too.

Out of the blue, the sound of something cracking filled his ears.

He slowly looked down only to see his scarf freeze over. Totomaru was in front of him without him noticing and hit him with his katana. Natsu watched with wide eyes as the katana made its way towards his scarf. Out of desperation, which was a rare emotion to the chaos dragon slayer, he leaning back far enough so that the blade didn't hit him or the scarf.

But to his horror, the tip of the blade grazed the tip of his scarf. The fringes of the scarf snapped off and slowly hit the ground. Natsu felt his heart stop as he watched that little bit of the scarf break into tiny pieces. something in totomaru forced him to stop and back away towards a safe distance.

The air was silent as natsu stared at the ends of his scarf.

Now, others may think that it wasn't such a big deal. That it's only a scarf and that it could be fixed. It Can be fixed, but the scarf was something precious. It was something very precious to him. The scarf was from his father Acnologia. Right before the dark dragon disappeared, he gave the scarf to him.

Memories of his time with acnologia filled his mind. Feelings that he had buried deep inside of his heart resurfaced. Then, totomaru said something that made him snap completely, "Once I'm done with you, I'll go get that blonde bimbo. Heh, Even though he said he wants us to bring her back, I don't think he'll mind if she wasn't in one piece. I'll make her an obedient little bitch."

The image of the blonde filled his head, completely taking over his thoughts. Any thoughts about his father and scarf were gone. The memories of lucy smiling, laughing, being angry, and crying filled his head.

His head lowered, his hair casting a shadow over his eyes. Out of nowhere, a massive wave of dark energy filled the room. Black scales that faded into blue started to appear over his skin slowly. Black and blue flames covered his entire body as he shook. His knuckles turned white and a dark, sinister growl escaped from him.

Totomaru felt like he was suffocating because of all of the dark energy that was in the room.

It was even worse than Jose's when he was pissed off. Totomaru fell to his knees as he gasped. He felt a cold chill run down his spine and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Natsu looked up and his eyes were black. there was not a hint of white in his eyes, which scared totomaru shitless.

Natsu suddenly roared. It was a furious roar. totomaru felt it in his very bones, the entire building shook from the force of the roar.


Explosions erupted from the ground in the direction his hand swiped. They all screamed out in pain as they were sent flying in different directions. Kiyoshi grit his teeth as he summoned his vines. A few went to grab the mages while the majority of them went to attack Jose. Jose was dodging them quickly, but he was having a bit of trouble because they had started to move faster with each hit.

Kiyoshi stretched out his hand and swiped right, the vines followed his movement, crashing into José's side and sent him flying into the wall. The vines set them down and immediately joined the others to attack.

Tatsuo dashed forward with gajeel when José stepped out of the debris and used their dragon slayer magic to attack. Elfman used his beast arm and slammed it into the ground, causing a small earthquake that headed straight for the distracted José.

Jose sensed the attack and moved out of the way, causing it to hit tatsuo who was sent flying. "Tatsuo!" Kiyoshi tsked and slammed his foot down, "Plant Spike!" A wave of plants erupted from the ground, surrounding Jose and the area near him. Large Spikes erupted from the leaves rapidly. Jose let out a shocked yelp as he moved away, the spikes tore at his clothes and skin.

"Dark pulse!" Like last time, when José swiped his arm right, a wave of explosions followed, destroying the plants.

"Ice dragon's secret art: Avalanche!" out of nowhere, a massive way of snow crashed from the ceiling and landed heavily on top of José. Juvia grinned. Since the snow was water, she was able to control it. She used the snow to her advantage and made it so it compacted tightly together, making sure that he didn't have room to move. A sudden rumble shook the ground and a beam of dark energy blast out of the snow and towards juvia.

Mirajane tackled juvia out of the way just in time as it hit the wall. It exploded, creating a giant hole. Jose stepped out of the snow. He looked at them darkly, "I'm going to kill you all!"

Before they could do anything, a sudden roar echoed through the room, along with a massive wave of dark energy that followed, bringing everyone to their knees. They all shivered in fear, jose tensed in his place.

Happy suddenly flew in with a panicked expression, "Guys! We have to leave right now! Natsu snapped! You guys don't want to be here when he comes. He already took down some dude named totomaru. We need to go no-"

BOOM!

They all screamed in surprise. Tatsuo and gajeel jumped up, senses on high alert. Kiyoshi grabbed juvia and bolted. Tatsuo did the same with a pale face. The dragon side of gajeel was whining and was trying to get him to flee. "Get yer asses movin! You heard the damn cat! I'm not sticking around to see what happens." With that, gajeel booked it on out of there. Mirajane and elfman looked at each other before they did the same, happy in tow.

Jose gulped when he saw a shadow walk out of the debris. There stood natsu. What really scared jose senseless was the fact the natsu was glowing black. Blue markings covered his body. He stood tall and glared at jose with so much hatred and rage, it was surprising that he didn't die. behind him was a giant black beating heart. Jose paled immensely when he saw it.

Natsu suddenly growled darkly, "I should kill you. I should make it that you wish you never lived. But I'm not going to do that because then luce would be afraid of me." His snake-like eyes pierced Jose's very soul, "I really should kill you, for putting her through something like that. I can also take out all of my anger out on you. but I'm not. You're going to turn your pathetic ass in." Natsu's magic pulsed in the air as he turned. He made a fist and punched the hell out of the heart, causing it to explode into bits.

Jose screamed in pain, clutching at his chest. The building started to falter before the entire place started to shake and groan. Natsu then proceeded to grab jose by the shirt, and slam his forehead against his, effectively knocking him unconscious. Natsu through him out of the building, happy catching him.

Natsu turned and let out a monstrous roar, destroying everything in its path. The building gave away and collapsed.


Everyone in the guild watched in amazement as the building collapsed. The phantoms that were attacking them started to disappear one by one slowly. Lucy, who was holding a sleeping cho, and many others walked out of the guild.

Lucy frowned. Where was natsu? Did he even make it? And what about happy? And the others?

7 figures appeared in the distance. Something was hovering beside them, seeming to hold what looked like a body. Once the bodies and the flying person stepped out of the dust, the entire guild erupted into cheers.

Lucy handed Cho to aoi before running with levy, gray, and Aoi.

Lucy beamed brightly, her smile stretched across her face, reaching her eyes. She jumped and tackled the surprised natsu. They landed with a thud and she laughed, tears streaming down her face. Natsu stared at her with surprise before they softened, a small smile appeared on his face.

Levy hugged gajeel in excitement, startling the iron dragon slayer. "You're back! You guys did it!"

Gray pulled juvia into a hug, causing her to squeal and melt. He panicked when she melted into a puddle.

Kiyoshi and Tatsuo hugged Aoi and cho with bright smiles. elfman roared, "MAN!" Mirajane hugged elfman and everyone else.

"THEY DID IT!"

Makarov came out just as happy dropped Jose on the ground. Natsu held lucy as he sat up, wincing in pain because of the frostbite. Lucy suddenly pulled away and was examining his injuries with a guilty expression. "..I'm sorry natsu.. You got hurt because of me."

Natsu put both of his hands on her cheeks and lifted her face so that her eyes connected with his. He still had the soft smile, "It's alright luce. It was worth it if that means that I get to see your many expressions and spend more time with you as a... as a friend."

Lucy teared up at that and hugged him tightly. She buried her face into his shoulder as she cried silently. Natsu held her close before he looked up, wiping any expression off of his face. He gently rubbed circles on her back as he glared at jose. Makarov sighed.

Gajeel took the liberty to tie jose's hands and legs with metal bands. They waited a bit until the magic council came and arrested jose, "Makarov, I must say that you handled this fairly well. We'll take him away now, we'll be expecting you very soon for a meeting."

Makarov simply waved at him as he stared at his partially destroyed guild. He turned suddenly and grin, "Guess we have to rebuild!"

Cana cheered," BIGGER BAR!"

"Bigger guild hall?"

"Oh oh! We can add a bigger pool to the back!"

"Bigger Stage!"

"REDECORATING IS MANLY!"

"LET'S GET TO WORK!"

"AYE SIR!"

Lucy giggled as she stood up, helping natsu in the process. Kiyoshi went over and healed him and restored the scarf.

Cho woke up so Aoi handed her to gajeel who snickered. Cho babbled quietly and squealed as she played with his long mane. Natsu smiled softly at the sight before him. Everyone was happy and having the time of their lives.

Happy hovered next to him, "You okay now natsu? It's been a really long time since you..."

"I know little buddy.. I know."

Happy landed on the ground so he was standing, "What do you think lucy is going to do about her dad?"

Natsu stared at lucy quietly. Lucy was laughing at gajeel since Cho had vomited milk all over his face. "I don't know happy. She might go to him soon to talk."

"Are we going with her?"

Natsu looked down at happy and they both smirked, "You know it buddy. I can't simply let her leave us just like that."

"Aye sir!" Happy flew up and flew over so he could torment lucy. Lucy reacted and started to chase after him with a playful, angry expression. Natsu chuckled to himself and turned to leave when he felt someone jump on his back. his arms automatically wrapped around smooth, creamy bare thighs.

The smell of honey and flowers filled his senses. "And where do you think you're going Mr. I-have-no-friends?" Natsu turned his head slightly so he could stare at lucy. She was grinning brightly as she hung onto his back.

Natsu rolled his eyes, "I'm going home. I don't have a reason to stay."

"Then let's go to my house! Happy is coming by later once he's done eating fish."

He stared at her before shaking his head in defeat. He murmured fine and they both were on their way.


Lucy sat on the floor in a gray t-shirt that said, 'I want you to know that someone cares, not me but someone.' In big white bold letters and white shorts while natsu and happy was laying on the bed asleep. It had gotten dark not too long ago.

'The celebration at the guild probably ended'

Lucy hummed to herself quietly as she read the last bit of the book levy had lent to her. She closed the book and stretched, bones popping in some places.

She shook herself off before she put the book away and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. Once she finished, she cleaned the cup and put it away before walking into the room. Lucy took off Natsu's scarf and folded it before placing it on the nightstand that was by the bed.

She sat down on the bed softly and looked at Natsu's face. His face looked so calm and peaceful. He looked...babyish really.

Lucy giggled as she looked at happy, he was at the end of the bed curled up into a small ball. He muttered something every once in a while that was about fish. she smiled and pet his soft blue fur. She kissed the top of his head and giggled when he purred softly.

She turned her attention back to natsu and started to pet his pink hair. Despite the spikes, it was extremely soft.

'Such soft hair. wow, I'm jealous of a guys hair.' she giggled to herself before getting under the covers.

Lucy leaned over and kissed his forehead, before whispering, "thank you natsu. I appreciate what you did today. Tomorrow I'm going home to talk to my father."

She was about to pull away when natsu started talking, "Will you come back?" Startled, lucy gasped and looked down at natsu. His eyes were opened, but what surprised her was the vulnerable sound of his voice. The expression literally broke her heart. He looked so terrified, yet at the same time hopeful.

Tears were at the corners of his eyes as he sat up, keeping eye contact. "you.. you will come back right? Y-you won't leave like...acnologia did with me right? You won't leave like lisanna?"

'A-acnologia? his dad? And how did lisanna leave him?'

Lucy wanted to ask but when the heartbroken expression on his face made her smile softly. A motherly smile really. She pulled him into a tight hug, "I will be back. Don't you worry. I'll come back. And when I do come back tomorrow, we can hang at my place okay? I'm not going anywhere natsu."

Natsu nodded, stuffing his face into her neck and took a deep breath of her scent, "Okay lucy. Happy and I will be waiting for you. If you don't come back, I'll come bring you back myself."

Lucy giggled and nodded, "You do that natsu. I'll gladly come back home to you and happy."

Lucy heard his breathing slow down.

'He fell asleep..' Lucy tried to pull away to lay him down, but instead, once she laid down, he pulled her closer to him.

He buried his face in her hair and unintentionally took a whiff of her scent.

Lucy got a face full of his chest. 'He smell's like cinnamon...or is it spices? oh well.' Lucy snuggled into him and fell into a deep sleep.


Hey guys! So, I'm not entirely sure about this chapter. Yes, I made Kiyoshi and Tatsuo dragon slayers. Cho has a super scream, if you watch teen titans, there's an episode of when Raven had to babysit some kids. The boy with the blanket had a supersonic scream or whatever it's called. I used that for baby Cho. I have no idea on what I'm going to do for Aoi. I thought about making him a water dragon slayer, but then I thought otherwise. Thank you all for reading this story of mine. See you next chapter! Also, I know the chapter title sucks.
