Natsu wasted no time. When he arrived in Sea Lily Town with the whole guild, he headed straight for where Natalia was suppose to be held at. He saw the tower and nothing was going to stop him from reaching it.

"So that's where Natalia is. No way she's going to die on my watch." Natsu said. Natsu was heading straight for the arch, but some people from the town was getting in his way.

"You're not getting through."

"We were told to keep you back."

"Turn away now. No way you're going to strike innocent people."

"I don't think so!" Natsu said as he had flames surround him. "I don't care who you are? Nothing is going to stop me from saving my friend!" Natsu didn't care if they were innocent people. Anyone who would dare stand in his way is just going to be met with pain.

…

E.R.7.

"So let me see if I have this right, Rod." Sonder said. "You decided to let everyone in that guild live and decided to let them come after us so we could kill them here."

"Yes. That's about right." Rod said.

"Wouldn't it have been easier to cut out the middle man and just kill them where they were regardless of what Natalia or anyone offered?" Sonder said.

"Where's the fun in that?" Rod said.

"Fun?! This wasn't suppose to be about fun!" Sonder said as he was irritated with Rod's actions. "You had a job and you were suppose to take down anyone who would dare stand in your way. That's what we do?" Sonder walked over to his desk and pulled out a sword he had hidden away under it. "As usual, I have to fix your mistakes."

"As usual?" Kaemin said as he didn't believe that.

"He's always been such big talker. It tends to get annoying." Kallie said.

"Cha-cha-cha. Sonder always likes to bite off more than he can chew, but that's usually because he knows no one can do anything about it." Foota said. Sonder walked over to Natalia with her sitting on the floor and unsheathed his sword.

"We should make it easy on ourselves and just get this hassle over with before it gets worse." Sonder said. "Let's just kill her right now!" He raised his sword and swung it down to kill Natalia and she thought this was it for her for a second. However, Rod came in and grabbed Sonder's arm, stopping him from doing any damage.

"Let's not be too hasty, Sonder." Rod said.

"Hasty?! How is it hasty to avoid any unnecessary trouble?" Sonder said.

"We set the game up so it would lead us to this moment." Rod said. "If the game is rigged so that we're guaranteed to win, it won't be any fun."

"Yes it would because we win!" Sonder said.

"It wouldn't matter anyway." Natalia said.

"Who gave you permission to speak?" Sonder said as he held his sword under Natalia's chin.

"Killing me right here and now is not going to make any difference." Natalia said. "Some members of Fairy Tail accepted a mission to bring all of E.R. down. It doesn't matter if you captured me or not. They were going to come after you eventually. Even if they haven't, I've been in the guild long enough to know this. If you strike one of them down, they take revenge. They don't give a damn as to who you are."

"Is that so? That's assuming they care about you and even make it this far." Sonder said. "They are going to have to make it through the entire town first and if they are such a legal guild, they won't make it this far." Sonder said that with full confidence, but he just jinxed himself. A fireball was thrown at the office and it blew up the wall with Sonder getting blown off his feet with the explosion. "What the hell?! What was that?"

"Yoho. Perhaps the great heaven above us is sending us a message by having a grand fireball fall upon us." Yonku said.

"It didn't fall! It was somehow thrown from below!" Jaccu said. "Wait. That still doesn't explain where it came from." Just outside the fortress was Natsu as he stood at the top of the archway.

"Yeah. I picked up some of Natalia's scent. She's inside there." Natsu said. He took a deep breath and inhaled as much as he could. "Natalia!" He shouted as loud as he could. Hearing his voice was a shock to some. Natalia heard him and couldn't believe he actually made it.

"Natsu!" Natalia said.

"I'm here to save you!" Natsu screamed. Sonder stepped outside on a balcony and spotted him.

"What?! What is this? Who the hell is that?!" Sonder said. All of them stepped out and spotted Natsu.

"Hey! It's that pyro from that guildhall!" Jaccu said.

"Cha-cha-cha. He made it all the way here by himself? It's a little impressive how he got here so quickly." Foota said. "He didn't waste a minute." Rod looked down at Natsu and tried to hide his joy that he actually showed up. Natalia stepped out herself and couldn't believe her eyes. Natsu was actually here.

"Wait. What about those idiot townsfolk?" Sonder questioned. "Did they even tried to slow him down?" He looked around until he spotted something by the archway. Every one of the townsfolk that tried to slow him down was burned and it looked like Natsu wasn't even trying. "You mean he actually attacked them?!"

"Not really surprising. I heard Natsu was always rash and reckless. He never thinks before he acts." Natalia said.

"There you are, Natalia. Who do you think you are running off like that?" Natsu said. "You don't need to worry. We're taking you back to the guild."

"Is he serious?" Kallie said.

"Did he come here all by himself, thinking he can take all of us on alone, and actually win?" Kaemin questioned.

"Not quite. Take a good look further in the city." Rod said. All of them looked in the city and saw a few explosions going off. All of it was caused by the other members of Fairy Tail as they were fighting off other members of the town.

"Try not to hurt the town's citizens." Erza said. "They might be taking orders by E.R.7., but it's only because of fear. E.R.7. has intimidated all of them for them to do as E.R. commands."

"Can't make any promises. You know how wild this guild can get." Laxus said as some of them rampaged through the town.

"I can't believe it! They're actually demolishing a town?! I didn't think guilds would do something like that. Are they monsters?!" Sonder said. Natalia couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"Is the whole guild here?" Natalia said as she couldn't really understand why the whole guild is here and why they're doing this.

"I see Natsu! He's on top of that arch at the end of town." Happy said.

"He must have already found Natalia." Lucy said.

"So let's give him a hand." Gray said as he was preparing his magic. He formed a set of stairs that led up to the archway.

"Wait for us." Wendy said.

"Forward to rescuing our comrade." Erza said. Natsu's team ran up the stairs and made on the archway.

"Wait for me. I'm getting in on this." Gajeel said. He was pumped for a fight, but he got serious as he turned to Panther Lily. "Lily, I need you to stay by Levy at all times until this is over. Make sure nothing happens to her."

"Understood." Panther Lily agreed.

"Please, be careful." Levy said as she knew Gajeel too well.

"Don't worry. This will all be fine. I'll see you after I knock them off that tower." Gajeel said as he made his way up the stairs Gray made and joined the others on the arch. "I have a feeling this is the only place I'm going to get a real fight around here." There was one more who was joining the group on the archway. Laxus turned himself into lightning and flashed himself up on the arch. He nearly hit Gajeel and it gave him a bit of a scare. "Hey! Watch where you're going?! You nearly hit me!"

"Sorry about that, but I came up here for the same reason as you." Laxus said. "That tower might be the only place I'm going to get any action around here."

"What are these people? They don't seem the least bit hesitant in what they're doing." Sonder said.

"It's just like Rod said." Kaemin said.

"Though, I must admit that I wasn't expecting the entire guild to come all the way out here." Kallie said. All of them looked up the tower and spotted Natalia with all of E.R.7.

"There she is!" Wendy said.

"And there's the punks that had the nerve to even attack our guild." Laxus said.

"Just hang in there, Natalia. We're getting you out of there. We've also got some serious bone to pick with these guys." Natsu said.

"Why are you even here?!" Natalia shouted. Her asking that was a bit of a surprise to them. "Don't you get what's going on? I turned myself in to keep them from killing all of you. In fact, the only reason they agreed to that was because they wanted you to come here so they can finish what they started."

"Say what?" Natsu said.

"What is she talking about?" Gray said.

"It's all part of some game of they're playing." Natalia said. "Did you come here all because of that job you agreed to take by Princess Rose back in Seven? Forget about that dumb job."

"What the hell are you even talking about?!" Natsu said. "You think that's why we came here? We might have been told to eliminate all of E.R., but there's a much bigger reason as to why we're here. We're here because of you. You're a member of Fairy Tail!"

"What do you mean? I told you that Fairy Tail meant nothing to me. I only stayed because I owed my life to you, Natsu." Natalia said. "That debt has been repaid."

"Who cares?!" Natsu shouted. "Natalia, we know the truth. Even if it wasn't, who cares what you owe me? I should have realized it sooner. You're a member of Fairy Tail and it doesn't matter who you were before or where you came from. You're a member of our guild now. In fact, everyone from Fairy Tail is here. That shows how much we care about you."

"You what?" Natalia said as she looked out to the area around them. Everyone in the guild was here because they care about her? Natalia's never seen something like that before. The amount of everyone here shows a guild's love, how much a guild cares for just one member.

"You can do or say whatever you want, Natalia. It's not going to change why we're here." Natsu said. "Whatever it is that you do or say, say it with pride as a fellow member of Fairy Tail." Natalia really didn't know what to think.

"He's right, Natalia!" Lucy called out.

"Come back to us, Natalia!" Wendy called out. Natalia looked around and couldn't believe this many people would go to such lengths for her alone even after everything she's done.

"Come on." Erza said as she walked forward with the others following. All of them walked over with courage, bravery, and dedication that comes with being in Fairy Tail. All of them stood side by side with Natsu. E.R.7. was of course to face them, but Fairy Tail is just as ready if not more.

"Why do I have such a strange feeling about this?" Happy said as he watched from the air.

"The tenacity exerted from all of them is palpable!" Carla said with her right next to him. Natalia looked across the ledge and had her focus on those seven. She could see it too and it was so much for her to handle. Laxus, Gajeel, Gray, Wendy, Erza, Lucy, and Natsu will fight and will save her all for simply one reason.

"You're our friend, Natalia. We're not leaving without you." Natsu said.
