I do not own Fairy Tail

Chapter 15- FIRE AND QUAKE

"You should understand that none of this is your fault my child"

"I can't Elder Makarov. If I have succeeded from the start then none of this will happen"

"If only... if only I have enough magic back then, then Acnologia will not exist in this timeline"

"Child, it's not your fault. You've committed an ancient forbidden magic. Anything could happen"

"No, it's my fault... If only.. if only"

*sigh*

"Are you sure you want to do this again. There must be another way."

"There's none left Elder, this will be our last resort if all else fails"

"Then what will happen to you?"

"I cannot tell you that, I'm sorry"

"Lucy-"

"Please Elder, give me your blessing!"

*sigh*

"If you insist, but Lucy if it's the cause of your-"

"It's not"

"Then granted, just be careful. I don't want you get hurt"

"Oka-ay."

"Ummm"

"Yes"

"Please don't tell anyone about this"

"I won't"

"Thank you"

.

I'm sorry Master.

I'm sorry everyone.

Sorry Natsu.

"Hmmm"

"Hmmm"

"HMMMMM"

"Gahhh Natsu you're distracting me! Stop with at all that noise" Lucy swiveled around her chair to face Natsu who is lying comfortably in her bed while reading a book. "And why are you here again?" she said annoyed while she returns to look at her console.

Natsu tossed the book at the side, lifting himself to look at Lucy, damn she's pretty. "Well everyone else is busy. Even Happy is busy and he's a freaking cat" he pout. "It's been a week Luce… and I like your company" he quietly grumbled.

"What's that" she asked, eyes still stuck at the images in front of her.

"Nothing…" Natsu lifted himself up and looked at the blond mage in front of him. Sighing silently, he started to roam around her room, lifting and probing for things to entertain himself. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw something sparkle. Darting fast and quiet like a ninja, he eggroll near one of Lucy's massive bookshelf and crunch down tried to look behind the dark corner of the shelf.

"Hey Luce?" Natsu asked still eyeing the sparkling thing behind the shelf. "There's an object stuck in here."

Lucy perked her ears and immediately twisted her chair facing her friend. "What was that?"

"There's a sparkly thing behind your shelf" Natsu rose up and slowly tried to push the heavy shelf. Lucy looked at the boy quizzically while he turned blue from all the pushing he was doing. Natsu huffed and glanced at the girl who was silently snickering at his ordeal. "A little help here weirdo. Or you want me to topple over your shelf" Natsu said.

"I don't know what you are talking about" Lucy jokingly gasped. She pushed herself up and slowly walked to the boy.

"On three Luce, I'll push this and you steady this huge thing."

"Alright" Lucy replied.

"1, 2, 3" Slowly the shelf moved a little but enough for Natsu to reach his arm behind it. He blindly clawed the surrounding, trying to reach the thing. "What is it?" Lucy asked when Natsu finally grasped the object.

"I don't know. Looks like some kind of big sliver clock locket" Natsu replied while he turned the silver object in his hand. Lucy gasped and Natsu immediately looked at his teammate.

"Luce?" he asked seeing the distraught look at the female's face. "Are you alright?" he worriedly asked.

"Do you know what this is?" he probed facing the object on the girls face.

"Yes…" she whispered. "That was your gift to me on our last anniversary" she took the object on Natsu's hand and caressed the object sadly. "I wonder how it got there, it must have rolled when I was moving my things" she said shuffling slowly towards her bed.

Natsu followed and settled beside the girl who was still staring at the object at her hand. "Umm, sorry Luce, but what is that anyway" he inquired softly.

Lucy laughed and slowly turned over the item once again facing Natsu. "It's not a clock Natsu, but it's a locket… your fire locket." She opened up the locket and inside a small bright fire came to life.

"That's my fire?" Natsu asked wide-eyed, taking the locket from Lucy and examining it on his own. "This is a fire dragon slayer's fire?" he asked again while Lucy only nodded examining the guy beside her. Natsu slowly moved his forefinger and was about to touch the blaze.

"Wait! You're gonna burned yo-" Lucy stopped and dropped her jaws when she saw Natsu playing with the fire. How is this possible, he is not a mage anymore.

"Hey Luce" Natsu spoke still moving his fingers in the fire. "Call me stupid but isn't this what you guys are looking for?" he said looking at Lucy's dumfounded look. Lucy snapped out of her reverie "Uhhh, what?" she asked.

"You weirdo" Natsu sneered as he closed the locket. "This Lucy-, this is what you guys are looking for" he said dangling the object at Lucy's face side to side.

"I heard you guys talked about making a lacrima and embedding it inside the weapons. Umm, making a eternano for objects. But you can't because there is no basis for the magic that you can replicate. You can't use your magic because you're a holder type mage" Natsu declaimed still swinging the locket side to side. "You can use this fire as a basis for magic isn't it?" he asked taking Lucy's hand and placing the silver locket gently on her palm.

Lucy breaking out of her stupor suddenly squealed and glomped Natsu hard, making them fall into the bed. "My goodness Natsu! You're a freaking genius" she laughed still clutching the guy in her ample bosom.

"Can-t brea-th!" Natsu gushed wildly, still under Lucy's body.

"Opppss, sorry" Lucy slowly backed up but Natsu clutched her waist down. "No no, I can die peacefully now" he smile wickedly while pushing his face on Lucy's chest.

"You baka!" Lucy kicked him hard in the chin that sent him flying across the room.

"Aww, Lushy…"

"Shut up!" she screamed red-face and embarrassed. She turns around and tries to compose herself. "But you're right. Thank you Natsu" she glanced behind looking at the guy as she smiles sweetly at him.

"You're... welcome" Natsu quickly looked at the side blushing hard at the look she gave him. He suddenly jumped up and fist-pumped into the air. "Yosh! Now that we have the final piece to the puzzle. Now is my time to shine, ill design the weapons you want to produce. Let's play with FIRE" he boastfully chortled out loud.

Lucy laughed in return getting infected by his lovely behavior. She turned around to approached him when suddenly a large earthquake begin, toppling her to her knees.

"LUCY!" he screamed, jumping in his tracks and running to the fallen girl.

"Natsu-" she replied, shakily trying to reach for him.

The last thing she remembers was Natsu's warm body covering her fallen figure as the ceiling of the room falls at them.

"ElLDER! CODE RED, I REPEAT CODE RED!"

"WHATS HAPPENING IN THERE, EZRA!?"
