"You got to be kidding me!?" Natsu shouted, glaring daggers at Cobra. But Cobra wasn't at all phased, only smirked back at him. Then, out of nowhere, his words came ringing back at him at impossibly loud volumes. Everyone covered their ears painfully and gave Natsu a hard look. What was he supposed to do? Not talk?

Erza shook her head and jumped up from her spot on the ground, she transformed into her Heaven's Wheel armor and shot at least a dozen swords Cobra's way. He dodged easily, but stopped the horrendous noise. Everyone sighed in relief. But it was short lived. Lightning was then dropped in random places, and even hit Gajeel, making him stumbled back.

"Gajeel!" Levy screamed. She ran up to him and grabbed his upper arm. He grunted and took a glance down at her before searching for the guy who had just did that. There was manical laugh, getting everyone to look up. There was a new member of Oracion Seis, it was a large bear that had a slot machine in the middle of his stomach. And apparently, he was the one that attacked them with the lightning.

"They're stronger than before, watch out!" Erza announced as she backed away from Cobra. Lucy huffed as she stared up at Angel. She wondered briefly what the woman had up her sleeves now. Because Lucy took all of her keys except her silver ones. She should be useless. Unless she learned a new magic. Angel stepped forward and smirked dangerously at Lucy. She narrowed her eyes at the exchange of glances.

She was about to project an attack at her. She knows it. Angel held up two coins and threw them in the air. "Twenty cents." The woman whispered. Lucy gasped when the coins began to transform into something. She had never seen that sort of magic before. Then Lucy sensed something behind her, but she couldn't move. She wasn't fast enough. But luckily, Natsu was. He jumped up and tackled her out of the way.

Sliding out of range from an attack, Lucy lifted her head to see Natsu above her. She could feel her face get darker, but he didn't notice. He was looking behind him and glaring at whatever was trying to hit her. It was a large white angel of sorts. An arrow was stuck in the ground where she previously was. A shaky breath left her.

She could of been impaled just then. Natsu stood up and grabbed her wrist, pulling her up with him. She shook her head to focus and narrowed her eyes at the large angel that grabbed another arrow from his bag on his back. Lucy's magic began to swirl around her. She turned her head to Natsu.

"I can handle this overgrown baby. Help the group fight the rest of em." Natsu darted between her and the everyone else. He nodded and ran off.

"Stay safe." He whispered. Though it was quiet, Lucy could hear it clearly with her heightened hearing. She smirked his direction.

"When am I not?" She retorted with a grin. Not focusing on what he said next, if he did at all, she punched the angel across the face with her fist. The porcelain looking angel stumbled back but didn't waver. He still had a hold of the arrow, sliding it in his bow. She watched as he shot the arrow her direction, but she was able to dodge it easily.

"Celestial dragon roar!" Lucy yelled, projecting a gust of magic at the baby. She smiled when she knocked it off balance. Angel frowned slightly, but the confidence soon came back. She then threw three coins in the air.

"Thirty cents." She whispered. The coins transformed again, but this time the thing that came from her coins were a lot larger than the baby. It looked like the god, Zeus. And he was much more powerful. Lucy quivered at the size of the thing. The baby she could handle, but this thing? She had no idea.

"Retreat!" A voice then hollered. Lucy turned around to see Erza waving everyone away. To be honest, Lucy was relieved. She didn't want to know if she would win this fight or not. Lucy watched as everyone was with Erza this time. They ran out of the Cathedral, with the Oracion Seis laughing all the while. Byro crossed his arm while Coco and Dan stood next to him. Their gazes trained on the ground.

Coco was looking her way, but Lucy was too distracted with everyone else to notice. Coco then gasped and pointed to behind Lucy. "Princess watch out!" Lucy furrowed her brows, shifting her gaze to Coco who was pointing to her. She shook her head. Then she finally noticed what she was talking about.

But it was too late. Lucy was crushed by the god like creature. Angel laughed confidently, moving her hands with the god. Light shown from the god's hands. Lucy screamed when a beam of magic shot down at her, and all she could do was try to shield herself with her arms. But the attack was dead on.

"Lucy!" Natsu screeched. Running the other direction towards her. Erza and Gray ran after him, Erza requipping in armor and Gray creating ice lances from his hand. They projected their magic at the god and got him to get off of Lucy. Natsu picked Lucy up and turned to everyone else. He shook Lucy's limp body and worryingly looked at her.

"We have to go Natsu!" Gray yelled. He nodded and ran behind the two as they retreated.

"Come on Lucy, you gotta be okay!" Natsu cried.

...

"Mmm" She stirred. Everything hurt. She forced herself to lift her body as she opened her eyes painfully. She came face to face with Bob from Blue Pegasus and screamed bloody murder, before falling off of the couch she laid on. Erza, Natsu and Gray ran to her and helped pick her up. She rubbed her bandaged head and looked around.

They were in the Blue Pegasus guild. But why? She hardly remembers a thing. Helping her on the couch, Natsu sat next to her and rubbed her back. "How you doin Luce?" He asked slowly. She noticed everyone looking her. Even Charle, Wendy, and Happy were watching her with a worried look.

"What happened? And why are you guys looking at me like that?" Lucy moaned. Her head was throbbing. Talking was making her head pound harder. Erza stepped forward and bent down to her level.

"Do you not remember?" The redhead furrowed her brows.

"Well, I remember you telling us to retreat, and then Coco telling me to look out. But that's it," she pursed her lips at everyone's expression. "What? What happened to me? Why am I in so much pain?"

"It was Angel's new magic. She summoned this god and while you were distracted, she used it to crush you. Then it shot you with this beam of light. But while we retreated, most of us split up and eventually passed out. Blue Pegasus found us and took us in," Gray explained. Then he pointed at her wrapped body. "You're Lucky Wendy was with us. You're body was burnt pretty bad and she said you had a concussion. You look a lot better than before." He smiled slightly.

The explanation brought a few memories back to her. She hummed in embarrassment and hid her head in her hands. "I'm sorry guys, I couldn't believe I was stupid enough to get caught," She turned to Wendy. "Thank you so much Wendy, without you I dont know where I'd be." Wendy blushed at her words and waved her hands back and forth.

"Oh it wasn't a big deal. I'm glad I could help you." Wendy smiled, twiddling her thumbs. Lucy grunted as she stood up. And Natsu was there with her, helping her stand up straight. Lucy smiled slightly and got out of his grip.

"Did we lose the clock pieces?" Lucy asked meekly. Erza nodded solemnly. Lucy sighed and crossed her arms. "Hey, do any of you have that book on you? I want to see something in it." Happy nodded and fly over to a table, grabbing an object off the table and handing it to Lucy. Lucy hesitantly opened the book and skimmed through it.

"What are you looking for Lucy-san?" Wendy asked, peering over the blonde's shoulder. Lucy frowned at the book and turned a page.

"Its just that, the Legion Platoon really didn't want us to gather the peices and wanted them for themselves. I just want to make sure that what we did was right," Lucy mumbled. Then, her eyes widened. "I just figured it out."

"What is it?" Erza mused.

"This book, it's not a map to find the pieces, it's a warning. A warning not to put the pieces together. The girl is telling us not to find them, or they'll bring unstoppable destruction. I can't believe I had us find all the clock peices," Lucy said shakinly, sitting down as she was becoming dizzy. She set the book down on a table and leaned back. She just caused ultimate destruction on the world. Tears stung her eyes as she looked at her feet.

"It's okay Lucy." Gray smiled.

"Yes, everyone makes mistakes. We just have to make sure to correct it." Erza hummed. Lucy looked between the two and wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Yeah, Lucy-san, I don't think any one of us would be able to figure any of this out," Wendy reassured. Lucy's smile began to come back to her slowly. She just couldn't help it. "Aww look, she's smiling again."

"Yup, no point in broodin" Natsu said in a laid back tone, keeping his eyes closed with a lazy smile plastered on his face. She saw this and giggled uncontrollably.

"I can't help it when you're all being so nice."

"Well they say fortune comes to those who laugh." Charle smiled. Lucy then turned to Natsu, covering her smile with her hand.

"Are you trying to cheer me up?" She asked him slyly. Natsu's shoulders rose in tension and he looked away from her.

"Well," He huffed. "Don't go gettin used to it." He blushed. Everyone laughed at his flustered reaction. Even Gray decided to poke fun at Natsu.

"I think Natsu needs a lesson in flirting." Gray snickered. Natsu gasped angrily and stood up, head pressed against his. Like Gray knew anything about flirting either. That popsicle just wanted an excuse to tease him.

"How bout you say that to my face, ice bucket!"

"I already did, flame breath!"

"Boys!" Erza announced. "This is no time to fight. We must get back to the guild fast if we want to have any chance in defeating Zentopia." Erza muttered. Lucy looked around with a frown. Speaking of which, where was Michelle. She must of lost her in the midst of retreating. She hoped the poor girl was alright, Michelle had no chance on her own.

"By the way, did any of you see Michelle when you left. I hope she with the others..." Lucy murmured in worry. Erza thought for a moment.

"I think I might of saw her run off with Levy? But it was so chaotic in there she could of went anywhere. I'm sorry Lucy, we'll look for her if she isn't already back at the guild."

"Speaking of which, how do you suppose we get back?" Charle huffed. Then, Ichiya popped out. Along with Ren, Hibiki, and Eve. Ichiya sniffed along Erza's legs before jumping on the table they were seated at.

"I believe we can help you with that!"

"Yes, yes we can. Mr. Ichiya can do most anything!" The three boys chanted in the background.

"What do you have in mind?" Erza asked.

"The Christina!"
