Lucy Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 1 week and 4 days later*

Dream state:

It was dark and I was on my hands and knees and I couldn't see anything. "We are just outside Mangolia, tell Natsu. Zeref wants him to know," a voice in the shadows said as I looked around.

"Who are you," I asked in a loud but shaken voice.

"Jadez Rhodes," the voice replied, "I'm the guy who has plagued your dreams or should I say nightmares."

"You, you made my daughter go through this pain," I yelled as tears ran down my face.

"Let your husband know that we are one day of travel away from Mangolia and when we get there, he is in for one hell of a ride," Jadez replied, "You see soon, Little Lucy Dragneel. Oh and congrats on the baby."

"Leave my future child out of this, you son of a bitch," I yelled but Jadez just laughed as he disappeared.

End of dream state.

I wake up in a sweat and I was breathing heavily as my heart raced. "Natsu, wake up," I spoke and I looked over at him, "Natsu, I need you right now. Get up!"

Natsu opened his eyes and he said, "Lucy, whats the matter. I could her your speeding heart in my sleep."

"I just got a message from of Zeref's lackey," I said as I grabbed my forearms, "We've got 24 hours before they get here."

"Lets go," Natsu said as he got up, I notice that he was shirtless and that made me blush, "Luce, is something wrong. You looked distracted."

After that, Natsu curdled over to me and he got to where he was two centimeters from kissing me and he was looking in me straight in the eye. "Nat…Natsu I… I think the hormones are getting to me," I replied as I blushed while my right hand touched his abs, "You should put a shirt on before we both get distracted."

"Right… Umm… I'll do that and you being in your just bra and shorts isn't helping me either," Natsu responded then he kissed me and he went to go put his shirt.

"I'm umm… Sorry," I replied then I went to my dresser and got a shirt on.

"I'll go wake Nuria," Natsu said after which, he left the room. 'Damn these pregnancy hormones,' I thought as I put on my clothes for the day.

"Lushy," I heard a familiar voice call from the kitchen. I walked into the Kitchen to see Happy, Carla, and Sorairo.

"Hey aunty Lucy," Sorairo said as flew around the room.

"Morning, so what does everyone want for breakfast," I asked.

"Fish," Happy and Sorairo yelled.

"Lucy's special spicy breakfast," Nuria and Natsu shouted.

"How Fish, my special spicy breakfast, and strawberry yogurt parfait," I said.

"Wow, mommy, your making a fest for breakfast," Nuria commented.

"Yes, I guess I am," I replied as I walked over Nuria, "And I would love for you to help me."

"Mommy making a fest, daddy waking me up, mommy asking for my help,"Nuria spoke then she glared at me and Natsu, "Whats the secret? You two are hiding something."

"Nuria," Natsu whispered with worried eyes that looked at me.

"Truth, honest, alright, I'm going to be honest," I said, "Nuria, you know Zeref is trying to destroy and we are going to stop him."

"Yes, Shannon and Igneel explain that to me," Nuria replied.

"I got something last night that told me that Zeref and his followers will be here in 23 hours 56 minutes," I replied, "They made camp last night and they started heading our four minutes ago at eight o'clock this morning."

"What are we doing here," Nuria yelled, "We need to go to the guild!"

"Nuria, YOU are not in charge," I spoke, "Yes, we will go to the guild but I want to try to have enjoy our time together because we don't who will be hurt, put into a coma, or worst…So please, let's try to have breakfast then we can go to the guild and prepare for war because the next few days will be almost unbearable. Please Nuria, after this, you'll understand."

"Okay, you for mom and dad, I'll do anything," Nuria replied then we hugged.

"Thank you," I whispered and Nuria nodded.

Natsu Pov.:

"Natsu, you better have good reason to call us," Sting yelled as he and Sabertooth walked into the guild.

"Its the same reason I called the other guilds, Sting," I replied, "Tell that news I got last night. Zeref is coming here to Mangolia and we agreed that we all beat would him together."

"Alright, so you got a plan," Hibiki asked as he was the new master of Blue Pegasus. 'I can't Hibiki became the master of Blue Pegasus, the flirt," I thought as I watched Hibiki and other guild masters sit in a circle.

"I told you guys the dragon prophecy last time," I said, "My family: Lucy, Nuria, and I face Zeref. The other dragons Gajeel, Wendy, Draco, Tatus, Laxus, Cobra, Sting, Rogue, and Emiko are going to be facing Acnologia. The rest of you will be facing the dark guilds like Raven Tail."

"Alright, then lets get ready for battle," Lyon, the master of Lamia Scale, spoke.

"I'm still trying to figure out how you became master, Lyon," Gray said and Lyon just smile.

"I worked to improve myself and over time, I became master of Lamia Scale," Lyon replied, "Though, I see you've done well yourself, personal adviser for the next master. That can be a very important job. Jura was going to be master but like Gildarts turned down the position so he like you is my personal adviser."

"At least I'm married," Gray hissed and I laughed.

"Yes, you won dear sweet Juvia, I admit defeat in that years ago," Lyon said, "But Meredy and I are engaged to be married."

"What," Everyone yelled and Lyon just smiled and then Jellal went into over protective big brother mode.

"Meredy is this true," Jellal asked and the pink curly-haired girl looked at Jellal.

"Yes," Meredy replied then she showed them the ring and she smiled.

(Author's note: Agg, I couldn't use Sherry because she is with Ren and her cousin just seemed to young. Thats when I decided Meredy should be Lyon because how was Ultear's adopted daughter and all so I did it. Surprise!)

"Lyon, you might want to run," Gray whispered then Lyon got up and ran for his life.

"Lyon, if you don't want to die, you'll stop right now and explain this to me," Jellal yelled as he chased Lyon.

Third Person Pov.:

*TIME SKIP 15 hours 38 minutes later*

In the forest of Mangolia stood Zeref and his followers. "We are ready when ever you are master Zeref," a male with black hair and light green eyes said.

"Good, Roger, then its time to call Natsu and his companions to battlefield," Zeref replied with a smirk, "Set up a telepath network were they can me but they can't replied."

"Of course, right away sir," Roger said as he put to two fingers to his head and got to work.

"Be prepare, Natsu, your life on with all those who oppose me will go down in my darkness," Zeref said then he and his followers began to laugh evilly.
