Chapter 12: Fate: Part 1

"These hands...even now, I still can't say that they are big and strong but...they're awkward and full of scars but...I've grabbed on lots of things with these hands. From now on too, I will never let them go, the proof that I've lived, and the hope. Til the end..."

"Natsu..." Cobalt eyes grew wide as bright brown eyes gaze into his. It was a perfect day, a gentle breeze blew her blond strands, no one and nothing was in sight. She grinned at him, making him confused as his heart pounded in his chest.

Just as he was about to reach out to touch her, Lucy backed away, giving him a apologetic smile, and ran off, out of his reach. "LUCY!"

She was so close, yet so far away. His heart would never reach her, no matter where she was.

He was stuck in the future, while she was still in the past. A booming voice shook the peaceful landscape.

'The past and the present will clash,

As the nightmare unfolds into reality,

Clown and Dragon will be swapped,

As they journey through the unknown,

They will gain comrades and enemies,

Betrayals will be uncovered,

When time becomes unstable,

Dragon and Clown,

Will save or destroy time,

They decide the fate of the world.'

Natsu eyes widen as images swirled around in his vision. "The rest of the premonition...But how?..."

"Natsu!"

His eyes snapped open, bringing him out of his dreams. "Natsu..." Tears dropped on him, he sat up.

"Lucy?..." Natsu reached out to touch her crying face. "...Is that really you?"

She smiled and wiped away her tears. "Yes...it's me." Lucy enveloped her arms around him in a hug.

Natsu's cheeks flushed and he smiled slightly, hugging her back, glad that she was back with him. He had missed her and everyone in Fairy Tail. "How? Aren't you suppose to be in the past?"

"A vortex appeared and pulled us in." Happy said.

He let go of Lucy and looked over at Happy, excited to see him. "Happy!" Natsu hugged Happy cheerfully. "I thought I would never see you again!"

"Me too!" They cried crocodile tears as they reunited. Lucy watched them, happy that they were all together again. Natsu wasn't himself without Happy and vice versa.

"So...What room is this anyway?" Natsu asked confused, looking around the very dark room.

"You mean you don't know?" Lucy replied.

Natsu shook his head.

They jumped as a creepy chuckle came out from the corner. "Welcome to the Noah Clan." A man with tan gray skin and a dark suit, walked into the light.

"Who are you?" Natsu asked.

Tyki almost dropped his cigarette at how idiotic Natsu was. He cleared his throat. "I'm Tyki Mikk, boy. And this time don't forget it."

Natsu eyes widen comically and pointed at him. "Oh! Your that hobo guy!"

Lucy and Happy could almost hear Tyki's patience snap. Lucy sweatdropped. "I don't think that's the problem here, Natsu."

"You should listen to this pretty lady here, boy." Tyki walked up to Lucy and kissed her hand, making her blush. "What's your name?"

She pulled hand away. "It's Lucy." Lucy looked up at him seriously. "What is the 'Noah Clan'? Where are we and why are we here?"

"Aye! Lucy's right!" Happy cried out.

"Well that's confidential. Even I don't know what the Earl is thinking." Tyki said shrugging. "But...I can say that we were the ones that brought you here."

"Wait a minute..." They looked over at Natsu. "...If Lucy just came here, then who was the Lucy at the party?"

Lucy looked at him confused. "Party?"

"Ah..that was Lulubell another Noah. The Noah of Lust, she turn into anything she wants. The Noah Clan is...well let's just say we're superior to humans and hate the exorcists." Tyki explained.

"But why bring us here?" Happy asked.

Tyki smirked. "We want to make a deal." He grabbed Lucy and put her into a hold, with both of her hands behind her back, where she wouldn't escape. "The girl for some information. Sounds like a good deal, eh?"

Lucy struggled. "L-Let me go!" Tyki's grip on her tightened.

"Sorry, Princess. But I can't go against the Earl's orders."

"Let go of her!" Natsu said as his sudden punch passed through Tyki's face.

Their eyes widen, as Natsu suddenly looked down at his hands. "Eh? Natsu, what happened to your magic?" Happy asked.

Lucy watched, shocked. She also noticed her keys were missing. "Natsu..."

"Hahahaha!" Tyki laughed, they looked over at him. "You are so amusing, boy." He smirked and pointed at the sliver bracelets on Natsu's wrists. "Those are to stop you from using magic, think of them as handcuffs. Right now, your just a shattered dragon."

Something in Natsu's eyes dimmed but, Lucy could still see the determination lingering. She had missed it so much.

Tyki picked up Lucy bridal style, she struggled but, he kept a strong grip on her. "Well. I'll be back and then we'll talk about our deal. But, just remember boy...We have the Princess now."

Lucy was afraid to say anything, as she watch Natsu. Tyki smirked and turned around, he took one step towards the steel door. "Even if I am, that doesn't mean you can hurt Lucy!"

As the dim fire came back to life in his eyes, Lucy's heart burned with the same determination, knowing that Natsu was here for her and everything will be alright...But why did he look worried?

"Hehe...your really interesting, Ryu no Shonen.* I can see why the Earl wants you. You'll do anything for your Princess, even if you have to make a deal with us."

"Why should I-?!" Natsu yelled before Tyki gave him a fake apologetic expression.

"Why? Well maybe because if you don't...you'll never see your precious Princess again." He smirked as he saw Natsu's expression fill with fury.

"Let...Let her go!" Natsu ran forward to punch Tyki again, when his fist hit a steel door instead. He held his stinging hand.

"Oops, my bad." Tyki stated from the other side.

Natsu looked at him. "Bring her back! Let Lucy go!" But his pleas fell onto empty ears. Natsu turned his gaze to Lucy, he extended his hand to her from in between the bars. "Lucy, I promise. I won't let anything happen to you."

Lucy touched his hand with hers, tears falling down her face. "Natsu...thank you."

The warmth of his hand disappeared as Tyki carried her off.

"Natsu, are you alright?" Happy asked.

Natsu stared at the hand that had just held Lucy's, he clenched it. 'Lucy...everyone...I promise I won't anything happen to us or this world. I will protect the fate of the world.'

A/N: Hoped you enjoyed! Yay for NaLu and Tyki! And for me for finally writing something where Natsu (and others) is not too OOC. Also sorry for not updating 'The Spark of the Past'. I've been really busy and stress with school lately. Also with exams coming up, I might not even update at all. My plans for this month is school (exams), family (Christmas), Church (Youth group, progressive dinner, and a youth group girls party.), and other stuff that my family will plan and won't tell me about until the last second (Like today..) And also maybe I'll finally get a haircut, so it won't get in the way all the time. So yeah really sorry if I don't update at all.

Also I do want to say that I'm bad at rhyming or even writing a poem or song...I can sing, just can't write a poem or song. I also noticed I made Lucy say Natsu too many times. All well. Who else just saw the 4th Fairy Tail OVA? That OVA had so many NaLu references in it...it almost reminded of the manga ending of Rave Master. Also *Tears* no Lavi this year (In the manga). Oh well hopefully he'll turn up sooner or later.

I want to thank Sixx.15, KHMugiwaraRocks15, RoxyStar05, majshan, Mukuro234, and CrazySarahify for reviewing and to everyone else who is still reading and following.

Have a great day and Read and Review Please!
