"I'll ask you one last time." Natsume demanded. She raised her right hand in front of her and aimed it at the group. Devil glanced down at her with panic, "What are you doing?! We were ordered to-" he began to whisper, but Natsume cut him off.

"Logan…I know what we were ordered to do…But they need a little push." She spoke with sympathy in her voice. A magic circle appeared in front of her hand and light particles began to gather from the air.

The group took a step back, all of their faces shocked, but they refused to back down. Erza clenched her fist on her sword and requiped into her adamantine armor. Jellal took notice that this armor had a rather large shield. Erza gave him a nod to stand behind her. Slowly, Jellal took his place next to her and signaled to everyone to do the same, managing to keep the shield up around everyone. Slowly, one by one, everyone took a triangular formation behind Erza. Natsume began to notice their change in formation and began to slowly close her fist. Juvia took notice that her magic seemed suspicious and stood close to Erza's right side and leaned next to her.

"Erza, what magic does she have?" she asked nervously. She shook her head, and turned to everyone.

"Whatever happens, make sure everyone is safe! Got it?!" she commanded.

An agreeing cheer came from everyone, but time was up. Natsume's magical build was at its point.

"Starlight Sacred Art! Comet Blast!" she shouted. A bright white light sparked at her hand and then a blast of magic energy as bright as starlight shot at Erza and the attack force. Without hesitation, Erza placed her shield down and blocked the blast, but it started to slowly push her and the others back.

"Now! Logan!" Natsume shouted.

Logan launched himself forward and over the group. Once he was behind them a safe distance, he glanced behind to see Natsume putting up a fight against all of the attack force. Natsume…please don't forget who you are because of this…, he thought to himself. Logan continued forward, he was heading towards the one place where he knew Lucy would go, her old home. Lucy, Natsu and Happy sat silent on the train, on their way to Lucy's old home.


Lucy rested her forehead on the cold window, letting the chill try to heal the pounding headache that has ailed her. Happy slept quietly on her lap, she gently rubbed his head with her right hand. She could tell that he and Natsu were concerned for her beyond compare, but she already knew that they would always be concerned for her. Too much was happening too fast, and none of it was making sense. The only thing that did make sense was that she felt closer to her mother more than ever, but it was all because of this golden amulet. Lucy held the amulet up and gently rubbed her thumb across it.

Mother…What is going on?, Lucy thought to herself.

Natsu sat across from her and kept his eyes fixed on her in silence. He wished he could just give her a hug and make everything just leave her alone for once, but things aren't that simple. Natsu's stomach rumbled and cramped up a little, making him grab it and leaning forward a little. Lucy noticed out of the corner of her eye and looked at him, a small chuckle escaped her mouth.

"Do you want some help?" she asked. Natsu looked up in pain, "What do you mean? I'm fi-fine…" he managed to say without nearly puking. Lucy smiled gently and lifted happy off of her lap. She placed him next to her on the bench and placed her jacket over him to keep him warm. Lucy went over to Natsu and sat him up straight.

"I read this article about motion sickness a while back…So I hope this helps." She spoke, gently rubbing his back while placing his hands on his stomach. Natsu's heart started to pound a little when Lucy held his hand, her hands were always so soft and delicate, but he knew that they were rough when it came to battle.

"And what you want to do is just breathe nice and easy! That should do the trick!" Lucy said in her usual chipper voice. It always made Natsu smile to hear happiness in Lucy's voice, even if it doesn't last too long. Not even five minutes later though, Lucy was passed out on his shoulder. Slightly smirking, Natsu put his arm around her, but then noticed the amulet around her neck. Without waking her, he removed the amulet and held it in his hand. Examining it, he couldn't really feel the weird magical energy coming from it like Lucy did.

Suddenly, Natsu started to have visions in his head. He was standing in a black room, but then it was illuminated with starlight and the beautiful wonders of deep space. He looked around amazed at the vast wonder around him, but then he noticed a figure in front of him. She almost resembled Lucy in a way, but she had longer hair and looked more mature. A gentle smile graced her face and she blushed when Natsu noticed her. But she was holding something in her arms, which caught Natsu's eyes. Slowly, the little bundle she held lifted into the air and began to glow brightly, slowly expanding and growing. That's when Natsu noticed that it was a human! It began to grow and take form, long glowing hair growing from its head that sparkled like starlight and a petite figure that resembled a feather. The figure came forward to Natsu, finally realizing that it was a small female child with bright pink hair that resembled his own. Her eyes opened slowly, showing that they were bright green and glistened with sparkles.

"Who are you?! And where's that lady that was just here?!" Natsu asked frantically.

The little girl didn't respond, but she simply placed her right hand on Natsu's chest where his heart was. He felt his heart beat fast and a warm feeling flow throughout his body.

"Please…" the little girl spoke gently. Natsu looked at her with wide eyes.

"Please save me, Natsu-san!" she cried. The girl started to slowly fade away and the stars began to spin around out of control.

Natsu awoke with a gasp, his face covered in a light sweat. His eyes frantically looked around, he was still on the train and everything was fine. He looked over to his left and saw Lucy was still asleep on his shoulder. A small sigh of relief escaped his lips and he rested his head back on the headrest.

Who was that girl?
