Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail!

Second chapter! Whooohooo! Ok, so I'm not the best at fighting scenes, but we'll see how this goes. This chapter also feels a bit forced so please tell me what you think of it.

Enjoy!

GUILD HALL

Natsu stood in the center of the guild, fire swirling on his fists as he glared at everyone. He swayed in his spot, almost like he couldn't believe what was happening. That he couldn't go see Lucy. That's probably exactly what caused the swaying. His shocked, unbelieving state.

No one said anything after he exploded. They didn't know what to say. How were you supposed to explain that he couldn't see the most important person in his life? Natsu wouldn't accept not getting to see her. He would not let them keep him away. There was no way he would not see his Lucy. He wondered how they were going to keep him away. He didn't want to hurt them, but if they push him too far he will. And that's what they are doing. Pushing him, Natsu Dragneel, Fire Dragon Slayer, too far. Not seeing Lucy would be like not eating for him. It was a necessity which they were trying to prevent. Natsu was not going to let them continue to keep him away. He was going to see Lucy.

"You better get out of my way." Natsu hissed. A large group of the mages stood in front of the stairs to the infirmary, not letting him through.

"Natsu. Calm down." Erza tried. They needed him to agree. Willingly or not, it didn't matter. It was just important that he agreed. If he did not, they would probably have to trap him somewhere.

"I will not calm down." Natsu replied, narrowing his eyes as he said this slowly. He said "calm down" in such a disgusted tone, almost as if it hurt to just say the words or that he couldn't believe Erza had even suggested to calm down to him.

Freed had walked down the stairs to see what the commotion was. With his appearance, the Master was reassured that Lucy has been protected the best she can be and they will just have to keep Natsu calm. It doesn't seem that keeping Natus calm will be easy though. He may need to have Freed create a rune trap for Natsu. Master watched as Natsu's flames grew as he had his 'conversation' with Erza. It seemed like they were having stare off. Neither blinked, refusing to give into the other.

"Natsu, this is for the best. Lucy can't be disturbed and-" Master's explanation was cut off by Natsu, who had only grew more angry at it.

"I won't disturb her!" He shouted angry, throwing his arms up into the air. Many jumped, expecting him to through fire somewhere, but no fire was thrown. Instead, water was dropped.

"Juvia is sorry but Juvia cannot watch as Natsu hurts Juvia's friends." The blue-haired water mage stated sadly. The water turned to steam in a matter of seconds because of Natsu's body heat. Natsu zeroed in on Juvia, angry at what she did. "You should not have just done that." Natsu's cold voice was heard saying. Everyone flinched at the coldness, used to the warmth his voice usually had in it. This was a completely different personality. They should have expected it though, since the situation is about Lucy. Juvia took a couple steps back, afraid that Natsu was going to attack.

Natsu stepped slowly toward the frightened mage, his fire growing hotter. Juvia's body made of water started to evaporate because of the heat. "I'm getting to Lucy, no matter what." Natsu said, not stopping as he approached Juvia. It was clear he was talking to everyone though. The guild members were in shock at this Natsu. No one had the courage like Juvia to step up, but someone fought there fear anyway and stepped up.

"Stop it, Natsu!" Gray shouted, dashing forward. He tackled the Dragon Slayer, both of them falling onto the ground and rolling. Gray's cool body was mostly resistant to Natsu's, which was on fire, but he still got burned. He didn't get off and give up though. He kept rolling with the Dragon Slayer until he stopped their momentum and pinned Natsu onto the ground by his wrists. "Natsu! You'll regret hurting us! You'll cry just like you did before! Please don't let it take over you. Please!" Gray screamed right into the angered mage's face.

Natsu stared at Gray's face, shocked at what he had said. Shudders ran through his body as he tried to ignore every single instinct he had. Gray had a relieved look on his face, since Natsu was fighting against the dragon that was roaring to get out of him. It looked like Natsu was going to come back. He almost did. Natsu became still.

That was before everyone, even Natsu himself, realized that Natsu was too far gone. He had been pushed too far, and he had to see his mate.

He had to see his Lucy, now.

Wendy watched behind everyone as this unfolded. Tears poured down her face as she remembered what Porlyusica had told her earlier that day.

FLASHBACK

"It means that Natsu Dragneel can not come in to see her." Porlyusica told the little Sky Dragon Slayer, who just stared at her in shock. "N-Natsu... can't come see her? Why?" Wendy asked for clarification. It didn't seem right to her.

Porlyusica sighed. "The poison she was injected with could not be healed with magic, right?" Porlyusica asked, making sure Wendy was following in h shocked state. She nodded, understanding what Porlyusica had said. "Well, Lucy's magic is included in that. Her magic is trying to help heal her. The more it does, the more time it takes Lucy to heal." Porlyusica explained.

"I still don't get what this has to do with Natsu." Wendy said, confusion in her voice.

"I'm getting to that, child. Now hush!" Porlyusica stated, before continuing her explanation. "Natsu is her mate. When you are a Dragon Slayers mate, your magic power increases when the Dragon Slayer is around you. Lucy can't have her magic increase because it is still inflicting with her healing. The healing will just take longer because of this. If her magic power increases though, she may die."

Wendy gasped in horror, hands flying to cover her mouth. "Do you now understand how important this is?" Porlyusica asked. Wendy nodded, a lump in her throat preventing her from talking. She felt horrible for Lucy and for Natsu.

PRESENT

Wendy shook, still feeling at lost for what to do. Natsu was going to go berserk any second now and she had no idea to help. She didn't want to fight against the mage that was like an older brother to her. She just couldn't.

IN THE INFIRMARY

Rose walking into the dimly lit room, spotting the blonde mage on the last bed in the room. It was the only bed next to a window, which let sunlight into the infirmary. The light fell onto the sleeping Celestial Spirit Mage like a spotlight. Like it was drawn to her. Rose sat in a chair, right next to the bed.

"Hey Lucy. I joined the guild. I don't know if you remember, well, how could you forget me? I was the one that tried to help you guys escape. Although, I was also the one to bring you there in the first place. I'm sorry about that. I hope you can forgive me when you wake up. Anyway, I have a feeling there's about to be a big fight downstairs. I'm not going to tell you why, since it might upset you but I hope no one gets hurt. Wake up soon, ok?" Rose said as she took hold of the mage's hand. "I don't know if I have the right to wish that, but I really do." A lone tear fell down her cheek.

Rose felt guilty. If she hadn't brought Lucy to the hellhole, then this probably wouldn't have happened. Lucy probably would be sitting downstairs right now, laughing with the others. Rose doesn't really know her, but she felt like that's what Lucy would be doing.

Rose sat there quietly, staring at the blonde until she heard a loud scream. "WHAT?"

Rose continued sitting there, not wanting to get involved. She would if she had to but she believed everyone else had it covered.

"Lucy. Wake up." Rose said once more before going quiet for the rest of the time she was in there. Which wasn't long.

SECRET LOCATION

A man sat staring into a lacrima. There was a fight happening in a guild that he found very interesting. It seemed as thought they all ganged up on one member who was furious. The man cackled, knowing why he was furious. He watched as Natsu Dragneel was tackled by a mage that only were pants. "Is everyone in that guild a freak?" The mann questioned. The shirtless mage pinned the Dragon Slayer below him and shouted some words. The words seemed to have effected Natsu, since it looked like he was fighting against his instincts. Natsu became still, and the man realized something. "They pushed him too far!" He laughed at the stupid guild for pushing the Dragon Slayer too far.

"No matter. Just you wait Natsu Dragneel. You have yet to find out what had happened to your beloved Luce." He said evilly, rubbing his hands together, laughing evilly.

Servants passing heard the laughter and shuddered, wondering who was getting punished this time.

GUILD HALL

Natsu slowly stood up, his bangs covering his eyes. He stared at the ground so that no one could see he face. He felt scales appear under his eyes as the fangs in his mouth grew. A smirk was placed on his lips before he looked up. "Like I said, I'm getting to Lucy, not matter what." He voice was different now. It sounded like his voice was being taken over by a beast. It sounded like the words were being growled more than spoken.

His flames grew as the guild got hotter. Erza requipped into her Flame Princess Armor, knowing it would be needed to defeat the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"Now, now, Erza. No need to be hasty. I won't attack you." Natsu teased, seeing this. "Why don't you try a different armor first?"

"I think this one's better for the situation." Erza said, glaring.

"Very well." Natsu said. "Does anyone else want to fight me with Erza?" Natsu was being confident, like always. Except this time, he may have a reason to be confident.

Gray stepped forward, not going to let Erza fight alone. "I'm fighting." He said in a serious voice. He put his fist in his palm, focusing his magic there. Cold air started to blow through the guild as an affect of his magic focusing.

Gajeel had also stepped forward, ready for another fight. "I want to beat Salamander up." was he reason for fighting. He let his dragon scales cover his body as Natsu laughed at his reason. "Laugh all you like. You know it will happen!" Gajeel shouted, pointing at the mage he wanted to beat up.

"Yeah, yeah." Natsu groaned, after laughing. The laughter sounded like the old Natsu, but they knew it wasn't. They knew Natsu was still serious about seeing Lucy.

AN: Sorry this is shorter than usually (but in my defense, only about 100-200 words). This felt forced. Please review and tell me what you think. I'm not too sure about it.
