Natsu's POV

"So you're saying that in order to find Lu, we need to die?"

Mavis looked at us one by one "In a way, yes."

I stepped forward "I'll do anything to bring her home."

Wendy stepped up beside me "I believe I speak for us all when I say that we will bring her back."

Mavis turned to Wendy "I'm sorry but you won't be going with them."

"What? Why not?"

Mavis smiled "Because I need you to help me keep them alive."

Wendy smiled "I'll do it."

Mavis looked at the rest of us "If you're all ready then we should get started."

"Wait." I looked at Happy and Anastasia. "What about them?"

Gramps looked at them and smiled "If they want to they can go as well."

Happy floated towards Wendy and Carla "I'll stay behind and help them."

Gramps nodded and looked at the dragon. Anastasia stayed where she was and growled making him chuckle.

"I believe she's going with you."

I smiled at her "I'm all fired up! Let's go get Lucy back!"

Mavis nodded "meet me in the infirmary in 2 hours, then we'll get started."

As everyone else filed out of the room I stayed behind. "Natsu?"

I turned to Mavis "You said that you had to prepare us, how?"

She sighed and looked down at the floor "Emotionally we just did."

I looked at them both in confusion "How?"

She looked back up at me "We were going to send you all today but by saying we needed more people which was true it gave you all the drive that you needed. We Now know that everyone going through is willing and determined."

I broke into a smile "I have one more question."

"Yes?"

"How are we going to do this?"

I watched her closely as different emotions crossed her face "Natsu I won't lie to you this will be difficult, first you must find her." She trailed off.

"Then what?"

She looked out the window "Then on our end you will let us know when you do and we will attach her spirit to her body."

I narrowed my eyes at her "She has no body."

Mavis closed her eyes slowly and let out a long breath "I know, that's what makes this so difficult."

I stepped forward "Then what are we going to do?"

She opened her eyes and turned to me. "We will attach her spirit to something else until we can get a body for her."

"Will she be okay like that?"

She nodded and smiled "She'll be fine, now go and prepare we don't know how long this will take."

I nodded and left the room, I couldn't help but smile. I was getting my Lucy back.
