Natsu's POV:

I watched as Lucy struggled against the dark lords grip. I felt fear engulf my mind and body, feeling completely afraid I just stared up at her and didn't know what to do. How could I let this happen to someone I loved so dearly? I knew the fear was coming from the dark lords emanating power, I just couldn't let it take over me anymore, I had to save Lucy.

I stood overcoming the feeling of fear in my mind letting the flames engulf my arms and feeling my chest burn with craze and eagerness to save Lucy. No one said anything, no one dared move with the presence of this Dark Lord Master here. I started running towards them and jumped mid way high in the air, flying towards them. I swung my arm back but a few feet in the air I hit an invisible wall covering Lucy and the Dark Lord. I looked Lucy in the eye as my flames went out and I started falling to the ground, her look was of pure horror and fear and I couldn't get her expression out of my mind.

"There isn't anything you can do she will be the first to die!" The dark master said as a flurry of purple smoke enveloped the two. When the smoke finally cleared Lucy and the dark master were gone. I fell to my knees again and ran my hands through my hair feeling the emanating pull of anger in my chest. My breathing started to quicken and I started loosing control of myself.

"Natsu…." Erza said as she came a little closer. I hear her stop where she was and she gasped. "EVERYONE DOWN!" She yelled as people all around started falling to the ground except the people from the dark guild.

It was then I finally lost control, I lifted my head towards the ceiling and screamed. Fire came out of my mouth burning everything higher than the height of my head. Some of the wolves and men got badly burnt but a lot of them were quick enough to make a shield for themselves. When my flames finally ran out I bent my head back towards my chest and hands and I cried. Everyone on the ground got up slowly and walked over to me as I sobbed not knowing what to do.

"How could I be so weak not to rescue her!" I screamed pounding my fist to the ground. Erza came and put a hand on my shoulder trying to make me realize I wasn't alone in this.

"We will rescue her don't worry Natsu." She said calmingly to me. It was nice to hear her reassuring voice, but how do I know if she was telling the truth… The ground started shaking and the arena even the stands started moving. I started feeling my stomach turn like I was on a train or a car, it moved up and the ceiling started opening revealing blue skies. Happy and Pantherlily flew up out of the top of the arena to take a look what was going on and flew back to us to give us a report once the arena stopped moving.

"It looks like the arena came out of the ground." Panterhlily said as he landed right in front of us. "There is a tall scary looking castle over towards the west of the arena a few feet away, it might be there guild, but I don't see the village anywhere."

"That's really strange how could we be nowhere near the city when we went below the city to get here?" Erza said she spotted something in the corner of her eye and pounced on it. Kunzi was still here and was unharmed, Erza had captured him and dragged him on the ground from the shirt collar to where our members sat.

"Your name is Kunzi yes?" Erza said as she pointed her sword at his face.

"Yyyye… yes!" he said shaking in his boots.

"Where did you master take Lucy?" She demanded.

"I don't know where Master took her!" He said cowering. Right on cue one of the arena doors opened and a bunch of people started entering through the giant doors. Wolves went to attack the mass group of people but every time they tried to get near one of the wizards would take them down.

"MASTER!" Wendy yelled as she came running over to us. It was the master, and the entire guild of Fairy Tail to the rescue!

I looked up at the master as he approached me. "Natsu, you know what you need to do." He looked down on me. I nodded at him "Hope is not lost yet child. Master Zenith is powerful but you have the power of your friends and family now." Erza helped me up as I wiped my nose with my sleeve, I felt the power of revenge and anger swell up in my chest. The master was right this guy was a weakling when I have the power of my family and friends by my side.

"Thanks Master." I said as I gave him a thumbs up and started running towards the back doors and the entrance of their guild.

"Here Natsu-nii you might need this.!" Romeo said throwing me a fire-ball, I swallowed it whole as I felt it slither down my throat and drop into my stomach.

"We will go with him." Gray, Erza, Happy and Gajeel said as they ran and followed behind me. Everyone else stayed behind to help the wounded and fight off the last few stragglers.

"Lucy, I'm on my way!" I whispered under my breath. I ran, as fast as my legs would towards the guild, to save Lucy.


Lucy's POV:

We reappeared in a dark hallway lit by only candlelight, the dark master had a hold of my collar and was dragging me behind him as he walked down the hallway. He opened a set of doors and threw me in them shutting them behind him as he walked in as well. I looked around and this room was just as dark as the others, lit by candle light. I sat on a red carpet runway that went at least 15 feet in front of me to a throne. There were four steps leading up to the throne and on the fourth step were small flames, they were only about foot high and reached from a few feet away from the throne to the side walls of the room. The Dark master slowly started walking towards me as I got up and ran towards the steps, I only had one key one me but I didn't know if Capricorn was powerful enough to defeat him on his own.

"Now Lucy, I wont hurt you, not yet at least." The master said as he lent me his hand, I just looked at it. He got closer and slapped me in face, it made me fall on the ground. He bent over grabbing my face as tears came out of the corner of my eye. What was this guy thinking?

"That wasn't very polite of you Lucy dear, when a gentlemen lends you a hand you should always take it." He said, I looked into his dark black eyes and they were as serious as ever, yet they were longing for something, but what? I looked at him closer and noticed he had short smooth black hair, he wore a black t-shirt and black skinny pants with combat boots. He had a cap that was armored on the shoulders and he had an upside down crescent moon necklace on as well. He lent me his hand again and not wanting to get hurt again I took it as he swiftly pulled me up onto my feet and up closer towards his body.

"I want to make your last moments on earth as human and wonderful as possible Lucy dear." He whispered into my ear, I felt a cold chill go down my spine. He looked me straight in the eyes and slammed his lips against mine. I wasn't expecting him to do that and so I bit his lip in the process trying to get him off me. He pushed me away screaming at me. "You fucking bitch!" He yelled as he grabbed me by the hair. I screamed in pain as more tears filled my eyes.

Natsu…. I thought to myself, I needed him now more than ever. With all his might he threw me against the steps by my hair making me scream.

"Yes scream Lucy! No one can save you now! Kunzi by now have used the Dark Destruction spell that set the entire arena into a black hole killing all your precious guild members leaving you behind." He said walking closer to me. I had to do something or this guy was going to kill me with his own hands.

"Open Gate of the Goat! Capricorn!" I screamed pulling out Capricorn's key. Capricorn appeared in front of me in a ready stance.

"Sorry meh took so long. Are you alright Miss Lucy?" He asked I just nodded as a reply trying to hold myself together.

"I thought you didn't have your keys, no matter each one will perish under my hand." The dark lord said as he just stood there waiting for Capricorn to make his move.

"Miss Lucy I will take care of this." Capricorn said

"Alright." I said nodding. He lunged himself fist up high ready to strike the dark lord where he stood. He didn't move as Capricorn came right at him, right when he extended his arm for the punch. The Dark Lord grabbed onto his fist and a flurry of air whisked around them from the power of the caught punch. Capricorn Looked shocked at the dark lord that he had caught his punch, then I realized that it wasn't just that he caught his punch that made him so shocked looking. The Dark Lord had pulled out a sword without any of us realized and stabbed him straight through the stomach.

Capricorn gasped for air, "I'm sorry I failed you Miss Lucy." He said as he disappeared into a glow of light.

"CAPRICORN!" I screamed. All that was left was me and the dark lord in the throne room. I didn't have my keys and this guy just killed one of my spirits, he was a lot tougher than I had thought. I sat on the ground staring at the Dark Lord who now had a sword in his hand, a sly smile crossed over his face as he walked over to me.

"Well since its obvious you wont behave, I'll just have to make you suffer." He said as he grabbed onto my hair and threw me against a stone pillar. I fell to the ground clenching my stomach as the wind was knocked out of me. He dropped his sword, walked up to me and grabbed me by the neck lifting me off the ground.

"I tried to make your last moments alive a good memory but since you won't cooperate then you will just have to suffer more pain, pain worse than death." He said as he squeezed my neck tighter make me scream. As I opened my mouth to scream he took his other hand and reached into his pocket to pull out a small glass vial. It contained a purplish red mixture of liquid, the dark lord pulled off the cork and poured the entire vile down my throat.

He dropped the glass vial making it shatter against the ground, then dropped me as I grabbed my throat coughing to catch my breath.

"What did you… do to me" I said between gasps.

"I'm going to make you suffer more pain, worse than death, doll face." He said walking away from me, he sat on his throne and watched the doors to the throne room not paying any attention to me on sitting on the floor.

I didn't understand what he meant by pain worse than death, I felt completely fine… Then it hit me a huge wave of pain, and fear ripped through my entire body. I grabbed my head and screamed in horror as I felt my blood boil within my veins, my head pounded and my muscles ached. I wanted to stand up and run out of my own body but couldn't find the strength to get up. A thought crossed through my mind that I wanted someone to just stab me with a sword and put me out of my misery. Another wave of even more intense pain ripped through my skin as I screamed and pounded at the ground. I could feel my breath grow quicker and my heart beat as well, I could feel my body temperature drop lower and lower with every passing second.

I finally managed to lay on my side, my hair covering most of my face, one of my arms grabbed my stomach as the other reached out towards the door, hoping Natsu would come bursting through the door to save me. But he never did.

I could feel my eyes grow blurry as tears swelled up in them as the pain increased. It felt like a thousand knives were stabbing at every part of my body and my blood was boiling from the inside trying to burn me to death. My breath finally slowed down and I realized couldn't hear or feel my heartbeat anymore, I was dying.
