What Happened to Lucy?!: Chapter 4.
~Wendy~
"Lucy-san!" Wendy was walking with Carla through the castle like building, looking for their precious nakama, Lucy. Natsu ran off as usual to look for Lucy and Happy followed. Wendy and Carla tried to chase after them, but wound up loosing them in the maze of a headquarters. "Natsu!" Wendy yelled, hoping that he heard it with his great hearing.
"That boy is too focused on one thing," Carla began. "We should worry about finding Lucy and then finding Natsu."
"You're right Carla," Wendy said, apologetically. "Gomene." They walked a few more steps and a member of the guild, Black Shadows, appeared in front of them. Wendy jumped back and Carla flew slightly in front of her. The male was taller than Wendy, but not by much. He had short, black hair and dark brown eyes. He stood where he was with a crazed smile as Wendy glared at the male and stood, ready to fight whenever she needed to. She may have been against the idea of fighting, but she was going to do whatever she needed to in order to get her nakama back, and this guy didn't look like he was going to reason with her.
~Natsu~
The pink-haired, dragon slayer ran through the castle, making random turns. He couldn't get a hold of Lucy's scent or the girl, Gina's, either. Lucy's scent seem to have changed and he couldn't find Gina's, like both scents just vanished, so he was running around, going through every door he saw and made every turn. "Where the hell is Lucy?!" he yelled, anger and annoyance noticeable in his voice as he spoke to Happy who was flying beside Natsu.
"I don't know Natsu," Happy started. "but I know we will find her."
They turned into a large room that looked almost like a ballroom. There were stairs leading with a landing before they broke apart and lead to a second floor of the room. Standing on the stairs was a blonde haired female, Lucy.
"Lucy!" Natsu and Happy shouted in unison as they saw their precious friend. Lucy was different, her eyes were darker then normal, she stood stiff, and she had no expression at all noticeable on her face. She just stood there on the stairs as if no one was there, not even her friends.
~Erza~
Gray and I ran through the woods, going in the direction that we thought was the correct direction.
"I am shocked that the pyro didn't leave any burn marks on his way to the place," Gray commented. We had finished up rather quickly with the other guild members and went looking for the headquarters of the guild. We haven't found it yet, but I feel like we are close.
I saw an opening in the trees and ran straight through it. I stopped as I saw a huge castle like building, causing Gray to stop in his tracks just before bumping into me.
"Found it," I stated bleakly, yet I had a smile on my face. I was happy to have found it, and I was ready to get my friend back by any means possible.
"Hey Erza slow down!" I heard Gray shout after me. I had began running towards the building without thinking for the first time in a long time. I had left Gray to chase after me as I ran into the building.
~Gray~
I had completely lost Erza after she ran into the castle-like headquarters. I decided to not worry about her, she can handle herself, but to focus on either finding the flame brain, Wendy, or Lucy.
I had no idea where I was going or where to start looking, so I just walked through the place as I looked around when there was a loud bang and a yell. It sounded like Wendy's yell so I immediately took off in a ran towards the yell. I saw Wendy standing up after being knocked down and a large male with no hair on his head and a small beard.
"Wendy," I began as I came up behind her. "You alright?"
"Gray," she said with a smile as she saw me. "I am alright. Just ran into this guy while I was looking for Lucy and Natsu."
We didn't look at each other as we spoke, instead we kept our eyes on the male in front of us.
"You did good kid," I began. "Let me help with this guy so we can look for the others together." Wendy smiled her determined smile and nodded. She was ready to fight to get her nakama back without second thoughts. Even though she hated the thought of hurting people, she was going to do it to get Lucy back, and so was everyone else, without a second thought.
~Natsu~
"Lucy! Stop this," I shouted as a dodged an attack that she made with her whip. She didn't seem to hear me as she lashed her whip at me yet again. I had just been dodging the whole time, not wanting to hurt my nakama. I noticed that the Gina lady was no where to be seen and began to wonder if she was watching from somewhere safe, or... What am I doing? I have to find a way to help Lucy without hurting her. I know I have a way of over doing it, but I have to be careful this time. It is Lucy and not a true enemy after all. What do I do?!
"LUCY! WAKE UP!" I shouted as I dodged again. I didn't hide behind a pillar or anything that was in the room, and I wasn't going to. Lucy was not leaving my sight.
She cracked her whip at me yet again, but this time I caught it and held back a wince. Surprisingly it hurt more than I thought it would and I was glad I dodged it for awhile. I wrapped it around my arm and yanked as hard as I could on it, pulling Lucy and the whip towards me. Lucy reached for her ring of keys and pulled out Loki's key.
"Open gate of the Lion, Leo" she yelled as she summoned Leo the Lion. I just cant get used to calling him that. After calling him Loki for so long... Anyways, Loki appeared in a flash of light and stood in between Lucy and I. He appeared in a flash of bright yellow light. Loki wore a plain black suit with a white shirt underneath and a deep red tie. He wore is usual no-framed glasses and stood holding his right wrist up with his left hand loosely in front of him. He looked at me seriously before realizing who it was and easing up. "Oh hey Natsu. Long time no see," he said with a smile.
"Loki!" Lucy shouted at him. "Don't chit-chat. Attack him!" Lucy sounded demanding. I know that she was being controlled, but still she would never talk to her spirits like that, and she definitely wouldn't stand by and watch.
"What did you do to her Natsu that she wants me to attack you?" Loki questioned as he once again glared at me. His hands were in fists at his side and he stood tall.
"Nothing! I came to help her!"
He didn't seem to listen. He began to walk towards me, still glaring. "Anyone that hurts Lucy will have to deal with me. Whether they are my friend or not. You hurt Lucy you are no longer a friend of mine, but an enemy," he said, stopping right in front of me. He is scary when he is mad, but I didn't flinch or run away. I wasn't planning on running away and leaving Lucy after I only just found her again.
Loki and I stood facing each other; him glaring at me and I looking at him with determination. I would have to fight him if he wouldn't listen.
~Author~
Everyone is either fighting or running around looking for Lucy, except for Natsu. What will Natsu do? Will he fight Loki or will Leo the Lion realize he is telling the truth? How will they get their nakama, Lucy, back to her normal self. When will the others get to Natsu and Lucy?
