Warning: There is some blood in gore in here, just fair warning.

No, there was no way that, that thing could be Natsu. It looked like Natsu down to almost a point, the only thing setting apart their appearance's was the black flame tattoo that spiraled up his arm, the arm that Natsu had kept covered with a bandage. Had that thing been concealed by those bandages, had Natsu known about this, had he known this was going to happen?

Lucy stood rooted to the spot where she stood. The back of the imposter still faced her; if she wanted she could run away and pretend she had not seen this. She could pretend that Natsu was fine and that END was Natsu, no END just happened to look like Natsu. There was no way the ultimate evil, Zeref's most powerful weapon, was Natsu. It had to have some kind of power to change forms or something.

Lucy wanted to run, but she couldn't, not with Juvia crumpled on the ground, not with Erza fighting with all she had, not with Happy flying to get help. Lucy Heartfilla couldn't run, she was trapped in this nightmare and she wanted it to end.

She watched in horror as Nats- no END shoved his arm through Erza's stomach. Lucy's eyes widened as she saw Erza speared by END's hand.

Erza, struggling to move and finding it hard to breathe, tried to raise her sword. She was so close to him maybe she could inflict a deep wound on him. But when she tried to raise it, she felt END shove his arm deeper inside her stomach; she was sure by now his hand had already penetrated through her entire body. Coughing up blood she looked into his eyes.

She saw red, not green. This wasn't Natsu who was killing her. His eyes were so cold and hard. She watched a smirk appear on his face, so much like Natsu's, except it held so much venom. Maybe she should rest for a bit. Her eyes were feeling heavy, maybe she would be seeing Simon again soon. That didn't seem so bad.

Lucy watched as END pulled out his arm and watched as Erza fell, no as Erza came crashing to the ground in a heap, a pool of blood surrounding her in mere seconds. The gaping hole in her chest scared Lucy far too much, if he had done this to the strong Titania then what would happen to her. She wasn't she could move, much less fight him. He looked too much like Natsu, she couldn't, wouldn't do.

Turning around and seeing he had left one alive a venomous smirk appeared on his face. "So you the last one left?" he questioned.

Lucy froze at his voice, no he sounded too much like Natsu, but he couldn't be Natsu there was no way. Natsu would never do this to them. He cared for all his friends; he would have never fought them. He was scared to death of Erza, he would never fight her. This imposter was too Natsu, how could he be a demon, how could he be evil when he was in Natsu's body, talking with Natsu's voice, using flames so similar to Natsu.

Feeling the tears stream down her face she asked "Why do you look like him?"

"Huh" END asked "Who do I look like?"

"Why do you sound like him, why do you sound like him?" she asked clutching her chest "You're not Natsu, so why are you so much like him!?"

A vicious laugh filled the air, looking up Lucy saw END with his back laughing uncontrollably "You poor little girl" he practically cooed "You so naïve to have not figured it out yet. Your precious Natsu was me all along!" END said pointing at himself with a smirk.

"No" Lucy said nodding her head "There's no way Natsu was you, you're nothing like him!"

"Au contraire little girl, Natsu and I are one being. Two heads of the same coin. We are one, we are the same."

"No you're lying!" Lucy cried.

"Wake up little girl, you fell for this act just as well as everyone else. You all were nothing but pawns, in our game. I have some great acting skills don't I?"

"You're lying, there's no way Natsu was just an act! He was a person, a person people admired, that people cared about, a person people loved!"

"Oh, like you?" END asked.

Freezing Lucy let her arms go limp at her sides as she stared at the monster in horror.

"Don't look at me like that. It was easy to figure out. You loved a man that never existed! Just some act that was meant to fool everyone, one to get close to humans so I could use you all for my plans! Face girly you fell for a man that could never exist!" END exclaimed.

"NO! I know Natsu has to be there somewhere. Natsu please break free! Please come back!" Lucy pleaded.

"Don't get too pathetic girly, it'll ruin your image."

Clutching her hands into fists she summed up the last of her courage and ran at him. Throwing her arms around him she clutched to him.

"Let go of me girly before you regret it" END snarled.

"Natsu I know you're in there please" Lucy pleaded as she looked into END's eyes "Come back to me." Crashing their lips together, she dug her hands into the back off his neck. Lucy knew what one magic was, it was love, and she was going to use it to bring Natsu back.

Pulling back she looked into his eyes again and saw green.

"L-Lucy?" came Natsu's voice.

"Natsu, I knew it, you were not an act" she cried as she felt tears stream down her cheeks once again.

"Yeah your right I wasn't and act" Natsu said with his normal smiling gracing his face. Lucy felt a smile gracing her face too, Natsu was back, all of this was over.

Then she felt a sharp pain in her chest "Natsu?" she asked as she looked down. Gasping she saw that Natsu's hand had pierced her chest. "Natsu?" she asked franticly, looking up she gasped again. She was looking at red.

Smirking END yanked his arm out her and said "Sorry girly, but you fell for the act again." Lucy fell to the ground in a stream of blood. Coughing up blood she looked up at END again "No" she gurgled "Natsu wasn't fake I-I- I loved him!"

END watched as she took her last breathe as blood tricked from her mouth. Turning around he said "Now that are biggest threat is out of the way, there's no stopping me. I will kill Zeref and the entire world with him."
