Natsu was doing everything he could to avoid Nashi to keep himself from hitting her but the demon was making it very difficult to do that as she kept throwing flame balls at him and hitting with attacks. "Thankfully,she's not that strong yet..or this might be a real problem" he thought gladly to himself as she landed in front of him. "Are you ready to give up yet?"she asked. "Ha,not on your life you bastard" he sniped. He saw the mischievous grin on her face she got on her face as she walked over to the hellfire and grabbed some with her hand. "Hehe"she laughed as she aimed it directly for him but he couldn't dodge it as it hit his stomach making cry out in pain."GAHHHH" he was on the ground clutching his stomach. "Ha, it hurts doesn't it. Pure black hellfire. Not meant for anyone else but demons,hurts anyone else who tries to touch it." "H..hhh..ahh. ..how the fuck are you touching it then?" he said through grunts as he painfully got to his feet. "Well" but before she could finish,Natsu grabbed some of the hellfire into his hand and began to eat some.
After he finished, he turned back to Nashi, "You stupid fool, did you not hear what I just said" "Yeah..I heard you, you should also know that I .. stomach..ahhh" his face turned purple as he put a hand to his mouth and dropped to his knees. He tried to keep his hand over his mouth but couldn't handle it anymore as he started throwing up. His throat and stomach burned as he puked. "I told you, no human can eat that slayer or not." "You knew?" "Oh please, I've heard plenty of tales of the Fairy Tail dragon slayer. And not to mention, I can see everything this little brat has in her head..but that makes me curious" Natsu's hair stood on end hearing the tone in which the demon said it. "Ccurious about wwhat?" he stuttered. Nashi walked over to the hellfire while Natsu was still on his knees puking up the hellfire. She jumped and landed where the hellfire was. "Nashi,no!" he yelled as he saw her step into it. it. It goes right onto her but doesn't hurt her. "What the hell" exclaimed Natsu. "Hahahahahah, didn't you know that your daughter has demon blood in her." "That's not possible" said Natsu. "Maybe not for you, but this child has it." "Damn it. I thought we got rid of it when Lucy save me" thought Natsu. "It may have been expelled from you but it wasn't from her..sooo" Nashi inhaled as some of the fire rose up. "NOOOOOO"screamed Natsu as she inhaled some of the fire. His face turned to panic as she turned to face him. Her eyes had gone completely black and her face was covered in red and black scales while her hands had turned to claws. "Nashi"he said sullenly. "PREPARE YOURSELF DRAGON SLAYER!" a shriek came out that barely sounded human as Nashi launched herself at Natsu who didn't know what to do.
"Has anyone been able to find anything?" asked Makarov. Everyone shook their heads regretfully as Levy slammed the book down she was reading. "Damn it" she cursed out loud. "I can't find a damn thing that says how we can get them out. Anything that I've read pretty much says the same thing and that we are all screwed for sending anybody down there. FUCK!" "Easy shrimp. You're trying your hardest" comforted Gajeel as he came to hug her from behind. "I appreciate the help Levy, thank you" said Lucy humbly. "I'm not giving up Lu, we are going to find a way" she said confidently as Gajeel smirked at her. Loke then appeared as Lucy blurted "did you find anything?" Putting his glasses back up his nose, in a clear voice he said "you need to come with me Lucy" "What?, come with you for what?" "You need to talk to the celestial spirit king." Everyone's eys widened as he said that. "Wwwww ..ddd I nnneed to see him for?" she stuttered nervously. "Because he's the only one that can help you." he told her blunt and direct. "Are you sure?" she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say as she looked around and saw that everyone else had the same stunned look on their faces. "Lucy, we don't have time to discuss, I'm sorry for springing this on you but we need to go if you want to save Natsu and Nashi" "I don't even have the right clothes" but as the words came out of her mouth, Virgo popped up making Lucy jump. "I can help with that princess" "Jeeze Virgo" "Sorry princess but I knew this couldn't wait so I came with this" Lucy looked down at the outfit Virgo had in her hands as she quickly grabbed it and went to change. "Loke, does the king really know how to save them?" asked Gray. "I don't know the specifics but I do know that he is the only chance Natsu and Nashi have. Even us spirits can't go down there to save them and since we still don't know they even got there. This is the only way.
Lucy came back out in a glittering flowing blue dress as she walked quickly to Loke. "Let's do this" she said as Loke held out his hand. "We'll be back" he informed everyone as they disappeared. They traveled to the spirit world and landed as Lucy held her head dizzy. "Sorry, I know it's been a while since you came here." "I'll be fine in a moment, let's just get going to see the king" she told him pushing aside her dizziness. "Follow me" and they walked down a long path leading to a set of big double doors. They walked through to see the king sitting on a throne. "Hello my old friend"he greeted. "Hi stache face. Loke tells me you have a way to save my family. Please tell me" she said immediately. He got to his feet and started walking over as Lucy flinched a little but Loke patted her shoulder comfortingly. She forgot just how big the king was as he walked over. "You need to make a key" "Huh!, a key?. How the heck do I do that?. I've never done that. I don't even think my mother did that and if she did then she never told me." she rambled as Loke put a hand lightly to her mouth. "Calm down Lucy" he said lightly amused but her face said she wasn't pleased. "Sorry" he apologized as they looked at the king. "Yes, you must make a key. A key to the hell underworld" "Again we have the same problem of how the hell do I make one?. I've never done that. Am I even able to do that?" "Your name may have changed but you are still a Heartfilia deep down and your ancestor Anna was one of the most powerful celestial wizards to have live. Her magic has been passed down to you and thus you have the power to make a key.
"Okay,okay if you say I have the power then show me how." "You must clear your mind of all thoughts." She closed her eyes and let out a breath putting everything out of her head. "Now repeat the words after me. " I ,Lucy Dragneel. call upon the celestial world. I call fourth the power of the heavens and the stars above to help me, to make a key" As she repeated the words, a strong blast of magic energy rose up around her. "Now say to what the key is too" he told her. " A KEY TO HELL, THE UNDERWORLD!" she screamed as the power shot up the ceiling as Lucy felt it and was determined to keep her footing as she looked up to the ceiling with the king and Loke. "Please,please work" she begged to herself as magic came shooting back down blasting Lucy back but Loke caught her from behind preventing her from smacking right into the wall. "Thanks Loke" "No problem,look Lucy" She turned her head slowly then smiled as she saw the key floating in front of her. "Yes!" she cheered as she went and snatched the key. She quickly turned and bowed to the king. "Thank you very much your majesty" she said courteously. "Your welcome old friend, go. Use that key to save your family. Remember that you must not go through." "I understand, okay Loke, take me home" she said with full confidence and determination. "Right there with you" He took her hand as they disappeared from the spirit world and landed right back in the guild hall. "How did it go?, were you able to find something?"Gray asked immediately without hesitation. Lucy smiled as she held her hand out with the key making everyone go oooh. "This is how we are going to get them out."
Natsu was struggling. The demon possessing Nashi was a powerful one and with her demonic said out, it was that much harder for him. He still refused to hit her because no matter what, Nashi was still in there and he was not going to hurt his daughter. The demon took advantage of that and was beating Natsu up. He had burn marks everywhere on his body, not to mention he had taken a hit to the face so one of his eyes was injured. His throat was still burning from the hellfire he had eaten earlier. "Damn it, if I could just find a way" said Natsu. The demon laughed manically as he saw the struggle Natsu was having. "Are you having problems?" "Shut your mouth"Natsu snapped. "This thing is toying with knows I would never ki..that's it. Jeeze I'm an idiot for not realizing it sooner." he thought to himself as he got a smirk on his face. The demon saw it and gave Natus a questioning look as he saw Natsu flame up his hands. "Oh , so you've finally com to the realization have you?" "You know for a demon, you are pretty stupid" he said cocky. "Hmm, how is that? from where I'm standing, you seem like the stupid one." "Ha, the worst thing you could have done is posses a seven year old child." He jumped into the air "I don't have to kill you, I just need to knock her out!" he yelled. "Forgive me Nashi" he thought to himself. The demon didn't have time to react as Natsu shouted "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" as it came down, he heard Nashi scream with the demon as they went down. He quickly ran to where she landed and picked her up looking at her face. It was burnt and bruised but her body was back to normal and the scales on her face were gone. "Thank goodness for that, I'm sorry baby girl" he scooped her and started running. "Now to get the hell out of here"
