The group stared in utter horror at the celestial keys that gave blonde friend the power to bring creatures from another world.
Happy let out cry. "B-But Lucy always has her keys!"
Gray's expression darkened. "Something is definitely not right."
Everyone nodded in agreement except Natsu whom was already stalking up the path, fists flaming and steam blowing out of his nose. "Come on. Our Nakama needs our help." He growled obviously understanding how serious this situation was.
Normally, Gray would have said something about Natsu bossing him around but he figured right now was not the best time to start a fight. So he started walking with Juvia and Happy in tow.
In some place not to far from Natsu and the others, a man stood in his eerie mansion rubbing his chin as he eyed the pretty blonde that laid unconscious on the cold concrete floor. He glanced at his servant whom was still dressed up his casual clothing so he could perform the task his master had requested.
The man crossed his arms. "Are you sure that she will do as I say when she awakes?"
The servant bowed. "Yes master. I'm quite confident that I performed the spell correctly."
The man smiled. "Thank you, James." Turning back to the beauty on the floor. Without warning, her eye lids slid up like a curtain on a stage, revealing her warm brown eyes to the world. Her eye searched the room, dazed and confused. The man smirked.
"Stand up." The teenager did as he requested.
"Tell me your name."
She was silent for a moment and then she spoke, her voice crackly with sleep. "Lucy."
"Run around the room once." Lucy did as he requested once again.
The mans smirk got wider and he let out dark evil laugh. "This is gonna be fun."
"Natsu! Are we getting any closer?" Gray complained.
Natsu's head whipped around, his eyes blazing. "We'll get there when we get there." He turned his head back around while Gray stared. Gray has seen Natsu angry before, most of the time it was directed towards him or when someone he cared about was in trouble but this time it was different. Sure, he would get angry if it was anyone else in the guild too but this was Lucy. Natsu's Lucy. To Natsu, she was special, which Gray realized a while back ago but knowing Natsu, he probably had absolutely no clue about his feelings for her. But who knows, maybe this situation made Natsu finally realize it?
'I just hope we make it in time for it lead to something.' Gray thought. Smiling secretly to himself, not wanting anyone to know about him actually caring about his enemy's happiness.
"Look!" Happy called out, pointing in a random direction. All their heads turned spotting the tops of roofs and a large gate over the tree line.
"Its a town!" Said Juvia, glancing at Natsu. "Is Lucy there?"
Natsu sniffed and realization lit up across his face. "Yeah!" And then he took off, running in the direction of the gate with Happy flying behind him. And after Gray and Juvia realized that their pink haired friend was gone, they quickly scurried after them with grins on their faces. Their gonna find Lucy!
