It was July seventh and at the moment they reached the outskirts of the city, knights began to chase them through the streets. "Laxus, take Jellal and Erza and prepare to jump on to the roofs to escape. Gajeel, take Yukino and Levy right at the next street. Sting, take Rogue and Erik and take care of the knights on the next left and continue to run down that street. None of you get surrounded by the knights," Natsu gave out orders, his nose working to find the knights.

"Go now!" Natsu told them as they crossed the intersection.

Lucy was completely surprised at Natsu's strategy. Never did Lucy think that Natsu actually strategized. Though, Lucy noticed that she was left with Natsu, Romeo, Tyson, and Wendy. "Why are we left with those three? Don't you think it's dangerous?" Lucy asked Natsu.

"They haven't started attacking yet and they haven't at all gotten closer or farther from us either," Natsu explained.

"So you're trying to throw them off by sending other groups away from the main group," Lucy guessed.

"I want you to keep running with Wendy, Romeo, and Tyson. I'm going to stop and try to throw them off even more. Tell them also," Natsu explained.

Lucy nodded and fell back, telling the three young mages what was going to happen. They all made sure that they weren't going to run into Natsu when he happened in seconds and Natsu was swift to turn and send a giant fire ball at the knights, slowing them down. Lucy didn't turn to know that if the attack worked. They continued running, noticing that there were no knights around. They slowed to a stop, realizing that Natsu was able to throw off all the groups of knights. "This was all planned before we came. It was quite obvious," Wendy observed.

"That's why Natsu figured out their plan quite fast," Lucy thought.

The sound of armor clanking made them turn from where they were running to see knights. "Should we continue running?" Tyson asked, hand on his sword.

"No, we'll fight," Romeo had began his attack with his purple flame.

Wendy gave her enemies a wing attack while Lucy called Sagittarius with arrows being fired at the knights. Tyson used Erza's techniques as he fought off two other knights, remembering the hard fighting against Natsu. They gave attack after attack and then Sting, Rogue, and Erik came, helping to take them all out. "Where's Natsu-san?" Sting asked Lucy.

"We ran ahead as he took care of the knights chasing us," Lucy explained.

"Erik-san, you have the ability to read minds. Do you think you could reach Natsu's mind to figure out where he is?" Wendy asked.

"I can try, but his thoughts might not be able to give location," Erik told them.

They waited in silence and suddenly, knights surrounded them. "Natsu's with Gajeel..." Erik looked a little surprised, unable to finish his sentence.

The former Fairy Tail members gave a nervous laugh while Rogue and Sting seemed to remember something. "They're fighting eachother while punching knights as they try to interfere with their fight..." Erik managed to say.

"What about Levy-san and Yukino-san?" Wendy asked, quickly changing the subject.

"They seem to be with Laxus' group," Erik told them.

Lucy pulled out two keys and summoned Taurus and Scorpio. They all attacked, keeping an eye out for eachother. Though, it seemed that there was no end to these knights. Though, two familiar voices were suddenly heard.

"Lightning Flame Dragon's..."

"Shadow Iron Dragon's..."

"ROAR!"

With that, two mighty roars blasted knights away, but destroyed quite a bit also. "I thought we would have to fight until we're out of magic power," Sting sighed in relief.

"I guess you can say that you can rely on your guild master to come and help you," Erik gave a smile.

Natsu came running out of the dust and past them, making them all turn to see that Natsu was going to take care of others. He leapt into the air, creating a large lightning fire ball and they all began to run to escape the blast. They ran and ran until they heard a large explosion, causing them to turn around. "Even though he's become guild master, he still destroys things," Lucy sighed.

Natsu came jumping out of the dust in a defensive position. "Run!" Natsu turned, telling them.

"Natsu, don't tell me," Erik's eyes widened.

"I'm telling you all to get out of here! I'll take care of it myself!" Natsu told them.

Wendy fell onto the floor, eyes wide with fear. "It can't be," She muttered.

"Not that bastard," Gajeel's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth.

The dust cleared, revealing a well known dragon in front of them.
