Chapter 12: (Natsu) I will find you!

To be truthful, I had a really pleasant sleep. Somehow, somewhere in my sleep I caught the scent of Lucy. It was nice, very feminine. It was attracting my senses. I moved to a position to where I could catch more of it. Her scent is like a drug. It's very hard to try to not get a sniff of her. Okay, I must sound very weird saying this. From my dream, I can only remember that I was hugging Lucy in my arms. It felt real. Anyway, I will give a thumbs up for this dream. I am not a playboy. I repeat, I am not a playboy. I just happened to dream of Lucy. It was already morning and the sun was saying hello to me from the horizon. The first thing that came to my mind was to look for Lucy. I was still in a semi-dreamland state and Happy, flew down from the sky. He looked really worried.

"Natsu! Lucy's gone! A shadow took her away!" Happy said frantically.

"What? Are you sure?" I asked him.

"Aye! She ain't anywhere near here!" Happy looked even more frantic.

I sniffed around and I couldn't catch her scent. The only scent I caught was the scent of Happy, mine and a dragon's. As I caught the scent of a dragon, I immediately switched to alert mode. A dragon? This cannot be! I remembered Igneel left me without saying a word on 7th July X777! I need to find out. I looked on Lucy's side of the bed and what I saw made me furious! Lucy's Keys were on top of a note. I picked up Lucy's Keys and the note, was covered with the scent of the dragon's. The note said…

"I took your precious Hime-sama Fire Dragon! If you want her back, I'll be waiting for you in the Devil's Mansion. I have unfinished business with you! This time, I'll make sure you'll never see the light of day!"

I was furious! Adrenaline started pumping in veins. That's right, I'm getting fired up! How dare this dragon take my "Hime-sama". I shall repeat it again, MY HIME-SAMA! I will crush the bones of this dragon. I will burn him alive! Just as I thought of that, a large amount of fire energy surrounded my body. Happy kept his distance. My heart was burning. I was full of rage.

"Happy, let's go. We do not have time to rest!" I ordered.

"Aye!" Happy replied, sensing my seriousness.

Happy took the Lucy's keys and we made our way to Devil's Mansion. Happy took the Map as I might burn it in my current state. We were on our last obstacle to the Devil's Mansion. I gave out a loud roar and surrounded myself with fire. I dashed into the Forest of thorns and Roses. As I made my way through it, I burned the thorns and roses. They regenerate fast. Happy had to stay close to my flame in order for him not to get separated. As made my was, the only thing on my mind was Lucy. When happy and I finally reached the outskirts of the Devil's Mansion. I froze.

"Let me get him!" I shouted as I gave someone a fire punch.

I saw it. I was here before. I saw the slightly younger me was fighting with someone. Suddenly, the scent and the words on the note came to my mind. I remembered.

"Bwa-hahaha! Fire dragon! You can't defeat me!" shouted the metal dragon, as he dodged my attack.

I roared out loud as I was going to hit him. It was a fierce battle. A battle where I noticed a blonde hair girl, knocked out on the ground. She was bloody all over. I saw her from the corner of my eyes and then, the familiar sweet scent of Lucy's. The girl I saved together with the old man was Lucy! It was no wonder she looked familiar. It was as if I met her sometime ago. I was a part of her memories! Why don't I remember this before? Something is wrong. After this mission, I am going to confront the old man.

I was back into reality. I shook my head to bring myself back into saving Lucy. I went back to dragon mode stormed my way into the Mansion. It was dark inside. Hardly any sunlight penetrates the thick walls of the mansion. I let out a fireball on my hand to help me see. I was surprised. The mansion was covered with metal. The last time I remembered, it was full of chains and paintings of demons and old wooden furniture.

As I continued to walk forward, the scent of the metal dragon and Lucy become stronger. I made my fire bigger so that I could see more ad then, shock-and-awe. Lucy was chained up, hanging on the wall. She was bruised and messed up. I saw her blood falling down her face. It only made my anger worse. Before I could make a move,

"Hey there Fire Dragon," A voice behind me said. "Looks like you took up my challenge. Let's have some fun okay?"

I felt a thin piece of metal touching my neck. It was sharp and, it was cold. I tilted my head to the direction of the voice. I glared at the metal dragon. The emotions I felt within me was ever ready to burst out. I clenched my fists.

"What you did to Lucy is unforgivable. I will not let this go, Gajeel. I will defeat you again, Gajeel Redfox!" I angrily growled at the Metal Dragon Slayer.

A/N: Gajeel Redfox enters the stage! Metal Dragons Slayer against Fire Dragon Slayer! An explosive fight awaits! Will Natsu be able to save Lucy or will he be defeated by Gajeel? Find out in the next chapter... Chapter 13: Fight of the Dragons! ... Don't forget to review!
