Lucy watched as the fight went on. Around five minutes ago, the rest of Fairy Tail showed up and the real fight begun. Lucy didn't know what to do, she was not a fighter. That was for sure. She had debated on leaving the room but that would be cowardice and Lucy...she had been a coward for too long. She wasn't going to run.

But she didn't know if she would be able to fight either.

"Luce! Are you okay?" a familiar pink haired boy asked as he ran towards her, despite the fighting crowd.

"Uh...yeah..." Lucy said turning to face him, he...he looked angry.

"Don't ever f***ing do that again!" Natsu yelled at her. She took a step back, surprised by his tone of voice. But at the same time she couldn't blame him. She had started this fight too. If anyone here get's injured she only has herself to blame.

"I-I'm sorry...I...I just wanted to protect Levy. I didn't think this would happen." Lucy said looking around trying to hold back tears. She saw Erza fighting Azuma, Gray was fighting Ultear, Juvia was fighting Meredy, Elfman and Evergreen fighting RustyRose, Gajeel fighting a chicken man as he tried to protect Levy. Everyone else was fighting those people that Zancrow had called 'disciples'. She couldn't see who was winning or losing but she could see blood, bruises, and pain in everyone. Both sides. She..she never meant for this.

"Maybe I should have never gotten involved in your life." Lucy repeated Jet's words, her heart aching as she said them. But...it would've been better for them. It would've been better for them, not her. But them. That's all that matters.

"What? I'm not mad about that. Heck this was going to happen eventually, I'm all fired up now." Natsu said smirking. Lucy looked at him surprisingly. He..he was fine with this? The fighting? Everything. He was fine?

Suddenly she felt an incredible amount of warmth hit her. Natsu had wrapped her in a hug, his hands in her hair.

"I was mad that you were being selfish.." Natsu said softly.

Selfish? Lucy wondered. Then she felt something wet fall on her head. Tears..

"I..I can't lose you Luce. I just can't. If...if I ever lost you I wouldn't live on. I wouldn't be able to. My whole body would just quit. I need you Luce. I love you." Natsu spoke. Lucy felt tears coming out of her own eyes. She didn't care if there was a battlefield around her right now. At the moment it was just her and Natsu.

Her and Natsu, that's what she wanted it to be forever.

Lucy Dragneel...she liked the ring of that.

Lucy opened her mouth to say something sweet too, but something else came out.

"Your adorable." Lucy said looking up at him. Natsu stared at her weirdly.

"Really? I just pour out my feelings to you and you call me adorable?" Natsu asked with a raised eyebrow. Lucy let out a giggle and hugged him back. Absorbing his warmth. She heard Natsu laugh then pull her into a tighter hug, resting his chin on her head. Lucy smiled enjoying the embrace the two were in.

Then all she saw was black.

Lucy opened her eyes slowly then closed them again as a bright light shone on them. She took another deep breath and opened her eyes quickly this time, the light wasn't as bad the second time, but it was still bright. She looked around hoping to find out where she was. It didn't help at all. It was unfamiliar to her. There were some old wooden shelves on the other side of the wall. Three chairs in the corner. An old raggedy wooden table with a not rusty or dusty knife. The floor was made of wood, the same type as the bar's floor. The walls also looked like the bar's, so she suspected she was still in the bar. Just in a place that she hadn't been before.

She did notice that she was in a wooden chair, tied up, her arms bound behind her on the chair. Natsu was next to her, also tied up. He was awake too.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked looking around to see that no one else was in the room.

"No idea, let's get out of this though." Natsu said confidently. Lucy tried to pull her arms out of the ropes, it was no use. She was tied tight.

"So you've finally woken up eh?" a voice said, an all too familiar voice. Lucy looked to her side to see Zancrow walking in through the door. When he opened the door Lucy could hear sounds. Sounds of fighting. But when he closed it, they disappeared completely.

This room was sound proof.

"You know, I've been thinking." Zancrow said then pulled up a chair and sat on it in front of Lucy and Natsu.

"I've been wanting to punish Lucy, to make her scream for mercy." Zancrow placed his finger on the bottom of Lucy's chin then pushed it up, despite Lucy and Natsu's glares.

"But then I realized that she wasn't the real enemy. You are." Zancrow looked at Natsu as he swiped his finger away from Lucy's chin.

"I've heard many rumors about you, Salamander. Most say you don't feel pain. So I wondered how I could make YOU scream for mercy. Then...I saw you telling Lucy that you couldn't lose her." Zancrow smirked as he watched Natsu's eyes widen.

"So I think I'll beat her a bit. Maybe have some fun. Then eventually when you've both cried enough, I'll kill her. And make you watch everything." Zancrow said then got up. Zancrow walked over to the table and grabbed a knife, then walked back over to Lucy.

"YOU B^STARD! I'LL KILL YOU!" Natsu screamed at him. Zancrow only smirked. Lucy widened her eyes as Zancrow struck her with the knife, unable to do anything. She felt a stinging pain at her arm and looked over to see blood dripping down from it.

"No, you won't. Wanna know why?" Zancrow asked and leaned down so his mouth was close to Natsu's ears.

"Because there are other rumors you know. That your like a fire dragon, me however, I'm a Fire God. And Gods always beat plain old dragons." Zancrow said evily. Natsu's face darkened, he was furious.

He was furious that he was useless right now, that he couldn't help Lucy.

"Wanna know something else?" Zancrow asked standing up regularly. He turned around and used a rag to wipe some blood off of the knife. Lucy's blood...

"You will have no one left after this. When you walk out of here, you'll see all your friends lying on the ground, dead. Killed by Grimoire Heart, just because your so called 'gang' believed you were stronger then us. When you weren't. You won't ever be. And worst of all, I'm going to let you live. I'm going to let you live with the guilt that all of this is your fault." Zancrow laughed. Lucy looked at Natsu, trying to pretend the pain in her arm didn't exist, and nothing in the world could explain how mad he looked.

He looked like he was about to kill someone.

"Now that we're done with the emotional pain, let's get to some more stabbing." Zancrow grinned wickedly as he turned around. Lucy screamed in pain as the knife slashed against her other arm. Natsu screamed curses at Zancrow but he didn't let up. He kept swiping from her legs to her chests, laughing as he did it. The cuts started to get bigger and deeper.

"This is fun, but maybe...we should start leaving scars?" Zancrow suggested tapping a finger on his chin. Lucy held back tears, not wanting to show weakness.

The next thing she saw was unbelievable. She saw Natsu jump, still attached to the chair, and flip over hitting Zancrow in the head with the chair. Both Zancrow and Natsu fell over, the chair breaking apart. Natsu got up and wiped some dust off of his arms, Zancrow didn't get up though.

"Damn that hurt," Natsu said and Lucy noticed all the bloody scratches on him that the wood in the chair must've caused.

"Here let me help you," Natsu walked over to Lucy and untied the ropes on her arms. When she was released she pulled him into a hug this time.

"I-I'm so sorry." Lucy started crying into his chest, she wasn't crying because of the pain Zancrow caused her, because he was brought into this.

"Don't be sorry, none of this is your fault." Natsu said then put his hand on Lucy's chin, bring up her face, not like the way Zancrow did it though. This way was sincere. When he could see her eyes, her beautiful eyes, he leaned down and kissed her. A kiss that should've lasted a while but only lasted a few seconds.

"They...they need our help." Lucy said quietly, she wanted to kiss him some more, but they might. They really might need Natsu's help. What if Zancrow was right? What if they couldn't beat Grimoire Heart.

"Yeah..let's go." Natsu said obviously disappointed that the kiss ended early but he knew she was right.

They both walked over to the door Zancrow had come through and opened it. Five members of Fairy Tail still stood, Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Gray, and Gajeel. Almost all of Grimoire Heart was down, except for one man. One man that Lucy had thought was only a rumor.

Bluenote.

And he happened to be beating the five members that still stood.

"Natsu..that's.." Lucy started and watched as Bluenote dodged Gray's attack too easily then punched him in the stomach.

"Don't worry, before we came here I made a call to a friend of mine." Natsu said and just as he said it the door opened. A man in his thirties was there with a ripped at the bottom cape, reddish brownish hair and a bit of stubble.

"Gildarts." Gray said glancing over at the man.

Gildarts? I thought he was just a rumor too... Lucy thought recognizing the name. Apparently she had been wrong twice today.

"Back Down." Erza said looking at the rest of the of the Fairy Tail members. No one even questioned her as they all jumped to the side. Before Lucy could even blink Gildarts had ran down the bar as fast as lightning and attacked Bluenote. What really surprised Lucy was that Bluenote was able to keep up with him.

Not for too long though.

Eventually Bluenote wasn't able to keep dodging, Gildarts had the upper hand. Fists kept flying through the air, faster then Lucy could comprehend, and before she knew it Bluenote was down.

"Took longer then I thought it would," Natsu said disappointingly to him as he and Lucy walked over. Gildarts laughed a little bit before wiping a tiny amount of sweat off his forehead.

How strong is this guy? Lucy thought noticing that the guy wasn't even tired.

"I didn't recognize the blonde girl so I figured I would put on a little show for her." Gildarts said smiling as he looked at Lucy. Natsu stepped in front of Lucy right away.

"Stay back old man, this ones my girlfriend." Natsu said. Lucy blushed.

"Girlfriend?" Lucy asked and Natsu turned around.

"Is that okay?" Natsu asked. Lucy nodded and gave him a quick peck on the lips, which he happily returned.

"Well it's about time Natsu got a girlfriend." Gildarts laughed, which made Natsu go to punch him in the face, which also shocked Lucy. That Natsu was willing to fight this man...this extremely strong man.

I've got an idiot as a boyfriend...but he's my idiot. She smiled to herself.

Obviously Gildarts grabbed Natsu's fist then pushed him back. Natsu growled in response.

Then sirens were heard in the background.

"Guess it's time these b^stards finally go to jail." Natsu said smirking. Lucy grabbed his hand and smiled at him. Natsu smiled back, and squeezed her hand.

"Maybe the dragon does beat the God after all."

Hmmm maybe I should've said something before but...the next chapter is the last...

...Don't hurt me! It has to end sometime! And look Zancrow is gone yayyyy which means it's just Nalu fluff next chapter ;D.

Oh also for those of you who gave me ideas for fundraising, thank you :D. I did a bottle drive though. And...well I guess I have to say something. I was fundraising for this relay for life thingy...and well they cancelled it.
