Chapter 17:

Lucy's Battle

Lucy Pov.:

Natsu stood in front of me as he faced the four wizards alone, but I got up and grabbed Capricorn's key. "Lllllluuuuucccccyyyy," I heard a voice yell from behind me, I turned around only to be rammed into my stomach by Happy.

"Happy," I replied as I looked at the exceed.

"I brought help," Happy said then I looked to see Erza and Gray.

"Lucy, you look like the dead," Gray said, "What happened?"

"I almost died but Natsu, he… umm," I said.

"I saved her, I'll explain more later," Natsu responded, "Right now, we need to get take these guys out. They're the reason, Lucy went through so much pain the past five days."

"Alright, I'm going to fight to," Emiko said.

"No, you and Lucy are hurt, both of you stay out of this," Natsu replied.

"Natsu," I whispered.

"Lucy, let me do this, please," Natsu responded.

"Fine," I said.

"Thanks," Natsu said, "Alright, Erza, Ice butt, let's do this."

"What did you just call me, fire hazard," Gray asked.

"Ice butt, frost bite," Natsu replied.

"This isn't the time or place for fighting," I yelled, "Thats it, sorry Natsu, but I'm going to be apart of this fight rather you like it or not." Then I got up on my feet and faced the enemy.

"But Lucy," Natsu said but I was glare at him. 'I want to be a part of this,' I told myself as I lifted up Capricorn's key.

"Open the gate of the goat," I yelled, "Capricorn!" The Capricorn appeared in front of me.

"What can I do for you Lady Lucy," Capricorn asked.

"Help me take out these guys," I replied as I pointed at the four wizards in front of me.

"Yes, of course," Capricorn responded then he went into combat mode and started to attack.

I looked at my stunned guild mates as pulled out my whip and said, "What are you waiting for an invitation? Lets do this!"

"Ya," everyone yelled then they all got into attack mode.

*TIME SKIP 42 minutes later*

Natsu and Emiko just defeated Fenris with a unison raid while Gray, Erza, and Happy took out Blake and Kin. But I was still fighting Munin. I knew the others wanted to help me but they also understood that this was my battle and that they shouldn't get in my way. "This time, I'll wipe your memory clean. Or maybe another near death experiences. Or maybe both," Munin whispered into my ear.

"No, neither," I responded then I hit him with my whip, "That was for hurting Emiko."

"That didn't hurt," Munin said as his true reactions didn't hide as he clutched the spot where my whip hit him.

"And this is messing with my head," I told him as I hit him with my whip even harder and he fell to his knees.

"Hardly felt a thing," Munin responded but his body language said otherwise.

"And this. This is for putting Natsu, my friends, and me through hell these past five days," I yelled then I kicked him up the chin. After that, Munin joined the rest of his guild as they all now laid down unconscious.

"Whoa, Lucy, remember me not to get on your bad side," Gray said as she saw the my kick up Munin's chin pulled his lower jaw out of alignment and broke his nose.

"Well, everyone knows what kind of pain I have been in these past few days," I replied, "Munin, he put me through so much by taking Natsu's memories of me. Then he brings out my memories of fear. Then brings out some thing I been always afraid of, that pushed me too far that I nearly died of a seizure."

"How did Natsu save you," Erza asked as she gave me that you-better-tell-me look.

"He kissed me," I said, "It was enough of a shock to my system that all the fear got canceled out."

"And thanks to that kiss, I remember everything about Lucy," Natsu said with a grin that grew wider, "I now remember that Lucy is my girlfriend."

"Yay, Natsu remembers," Happy cheered with his big grin.

"Natsu, who is this girl," Erza asked as she pointed at Emiko.

"Everyone, I would like you to meet my newly discovered adopted sister, Emiko Renson," Natsu told us,

"WHAT," Erza, Gray, and Happy yelled as their lower jaws dropped and Natsu, Emiko, and I broke out into laughter.

Dear Readers,

So I'm thinking about writing my first lemon for the next chapter which would in turn change the rating of this story from T to M. I want your thoughts on rather or not I should do it before I write it. After all, I'm writing this for you to enjoy so please be honest and tell if you think I should go for it or save my first lemon for one-shot story or something. Anyways, tell what you think in a review. Thanks for reading and reviewing! Until next time!
