by ddrockdoesfanfic

Lucy Heartfilla could not stop the tears as they streamed down her face. All of them looked down at her with disgust clearly written on their faces. Even he was looking at her with this disgusted yet confused face. A tear rolled down from his left eye as only a word could escape his lips. "Why?"

Previously on What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger:

"Oh brother," Zeref stated as he looked down at his brother laying on the floor. Zeref smirked, "You aren't going to like whats going to happen to you." He stated, "Because your worst nightmare is going to come true; the one you love will die,"

"ROAR OF THE STARDUST DRAGON!" Lucy yelled. The doors hit the ground showing a lifeless Natsu on the ground, his pink hair covering his face and his bright smile nowhere to be seen. Lucy wanted to cry but she knew she couldn't she had to get revenge.

"ZEREF!" She yelled pointing at him in the face with a grim look on her face, "PREPARE TO DIE!"

Chapter 19: Love and War

Lucy's rage filled eyes met Zeref's emotionless ones.

"I can't believe it." Zeref exclaimed, "Without doing any work all of the keys united on their own."

"Zeref" Lucy repeated, "What were you planning to do with Natsu."

"What? Oh you mean END here, " Zeref stated. Lucy cringed.

"What do you mean by END?" Lucy demanded with her skin glowing. She was angry. Her golden hair was all tangled in a mess where her ponytail was nowhere to be seen.

"END. Ethrois Natsu Dragoneel. Oh you didn't figure that out yet? END, my most prized book which shall eventually kill me one day. I gave it the power of his own father, The Fire Dragon key. I'm sure you're familiar of that."

"So you toyed with a poor boy just because you needed someone to kill you?" Lucy questioned. ]

"No," Zeref stated, "I toyed with my brother. I am Zeref Dragoneel anyways!"

Lucy's eyes widened as he finished his sentence. It was so much information to take in at once she didn't know what to do!

"Think like Natsu" Lucy thought.

"Think like Natsu," Lucy repeated out loud. Zeref just eyed her ignoring her Lucy looked down at Natsu. Friend hurt.

"Think like Natsu," Lucy repeated again. She looked back up at Zeref. A bright light surrounded Lucy as a breeze swept through the castle. The bricks from the walls broke off from the cement and surrounded Lucy. The water from the sewers underneath the ground streamed through the cracks of the wooden floors beneath them. Lucy looked demonic. Zeref didn't move an inch.

"FORCE OF THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS!" Lucy yelled as the water, the bricks, the light, and the winds shot straight towards Zeref. Zeref didn't flinch. The attack was blocked by a barrier . As the black light from the barrier shown, you could see a crack forming in the glass. Lucy smirked as Zeref's confident grim look faltered for a second. That moment was brief until he appeared right in front of Lucy. Lucy's eyes widened as Zeref's fist grew black. With a simple punch, Lucy was force back against the wall behind her. A dent was seen in the brick walls as Lucy fell to the floor. Her body ached as if she were to be stabbed with a thousand knives. She screamed out in pain as Zeref regained his confident aura.

"Hah!" He cackled, "You really thought you could have beat me. I am the dark wizard, Zeref!No one can beat me," By now he looked like he was going crazy. Not a good sign.

Natsu's eyelids slowly opened as his vision went from blurry to clear. At first he could just see a black blur and a bright glow but then as Natsu's clearly saw what was going on. His went back to normal, He saw what was really was happening as if it were in slow motion. Lucy, the one he loved, against the back wall, bellowing in pain. Zeref cackling. Natsu slowly got up.

"Why is Lucy here? He only needed me!" Natsu exclaimed. He got up and regained his balance. The magic within caused him to become on fire as he took his first giant step towards Zeref. Right off the bat he was in Dragon Force as his anger was easily shown. Zeref turned back towards Natsu, only to be forced back to the wall next to the broken down door. Natsu quickly ran over to Lucy with his surrounding aura dying down. He looked Lucy in the eye as Lucy slowly sat up.

"Natsu I-"

"Save it for later," Natsu demanded but before Lucy could protest, Natsu's warm arms embraced Lucy as Natsu put his chin on Lucy's shoulder. Lucy was surprised at first but then she hugged back."

"Natsu" she whispered under her breath. As Natsu ended their embrace, he looked straight into Lucys eyes. Lucy looked back into his.

"Come on," Natsu calmly stated as he got to his feet. He then stuck out his hand out so that he could help Lucy up. Lucy gladly accepted his hand as she got up. Both of them ran towards the knocked down doors until a voice warned them.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Zeref stated. Both of them froze in their spots as the two turned their heads to see the dark wizard before them. Behind where they were standing was Zeref.

"You guys did a good job of getting me down to the ground," Zeref stated, "Most barley touch me when they go in combat with me. In his case though, brother may be able to beat me only under certain circumstances"

"Who are you calling brother?" Natsu questioned, "My name is Natsu Dragoneel, the son of Igneel. I'm also the Celestial Fire Dragon key," Natsu stated looking back at Lucy. Lucy smiled. Then he looked back at Zeref. "If we can't leave, I going to save Lucy. Even if it would cost my life.

"Thank you for making that clear," Zeref stated as a barrier formed around both Natsu and Zeref leaving Lucy outside of it.

"Natsu!" Lucy yelled, "NATSU!"

"I'm doing this for you," Natsu stated, "This fight is between and my brother. Or at least that's what he calls me."

"NATSU DON'T IT!" Lucy cried.

"I'm doing this for you," Natsu repeated as the ruins completed as a dark glow caused for the barrier to be completed.

"NATSU! NATSU DON'T LEAVE ME!" Lucy cried. She left Magnolia to find him again. But why does he have to fight again. Unless he beats the dark wizard, he has no way of seeing her again.

"LUCY," Natsu yelled as the barrier between the two started to form a dark black. "Always remember that I- I LOVE YOU!" Lucy's eyes widened as her legs felt wobbly.

"Natsu loves me?" Lucy repeated in her head. "What do I say back?"

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" Lucy yelled back as tears formed. They raced down her cheeks. This is how Lucy's story started anyways. With tears. At first it was just tears of sadness. Now it was tears of sadness mixed with tears of something else. Happiness. Determination. Love. Those were the emotions she felt. She was happy that she was with Natsu. She was determined that Natsu would beat Zeref. And she felt that she was loved by Natsu, more than she could ever imagine. She might have seemed just as weak, emotionally, to someone who had just met her but to Natsu, he thought that she becacuse stronger both mentally and physically.

Natsu turned away from Lucy. From the outside Lucy couldn't see Natsu but from the inside, Natsu could see the suffering Lucy. He knew that he had to win for her. To sneak in her room one more time. To hug her one more time. To tease her one more time. To be with her one more time. He would do anything for her.

"She can't hear you anymore.," Zeref stated, "She can't here you from here."

Natsu grunted. "So I'm your brother," Natsu repeated, "And you put the key of my father in me."

"Before the fight, I did something quite similar to you," Zeref stated, "I put the chaos key within me."

"Chaos key?" Natsu questioned, "What the hell is that?"

"I think that lover of yours would have known about it but didn't believe it was real. The chaos dragon key. But what she didn't realize that the Chao's dragon was right in front of her the whole time. Acnoligia. The chaos dragon key," Zeref stated as Natsu's eyes widened, "So now I think this is an equal fight."

"That's where you are wrong, Zeref," Natsu stated, "I have the upper hand in this fight."

"Oh really?" Zeref questioned, "And how is that so?"

"MY FRIENDS!" Natsu yelled, "MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, AND THE ONE I LOVE IS ALWAYS THERE TO SUPPORT ME. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THE UPPER HAND IN THIS FIGHT!"

"Very well then," Zeref declared as his fists glowed darkly. Before Natsu knew what was coming he was forced backwards. He needed to focus.

Right fist. Zeref dodged it with a left kick.

Left fist. Zeref dodged with a right kick following.

Natsu smiled. He knew his attack pattern. Now all he ha-

"JUSTIFY THE LIGHT! DARK LAW!" Zeref shouted. The magic ripped Natsu's clothes as pain enveloped him in pain as he was shot backwards towards the barrier. The barrier ripped as Natsu was shot towards the open hallway.

"So he wasn't strong enough after all," Zeref stated. Lucy saw this as she ran towards Natsu in the open hallway.

"Natsu?" She questioned, "Natsu? NATSU!?"

"Lucy Heartfilia your lover is still alive," Zeref stated. Usually Lucy would react but this time she ignored. She put her head to his chest. He was still breathing.

"L-lucy" Natsu breathed as he got up from his spot on the ground.

"Natsu! Lets get out of here!" Lucy exclaimed as she she got up and pulled his hand. Natsu didn't budge,

"No," he replied.

"Natsu we have to-"

"No," he repeated, "I'm not leaving until I win this fight so that I can live peacefully with the one I love"

"What ar-" But before Lucy could finish her sentence Natsu's lips met Lucy's as they engaged in a passionate kiss. Lucy didn't know how to react at first but then she slowly closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. As they broke away, naturally Natsu smile his signature smile and Lucy couldn't help but smile back.

"At least if I die saving you I would have no regrets," Natsu stated.

"Right back at yah," Lucy commented as they looked back at the dark wizard Zeref. He smirked. Natsu smiled back at him.

"Hey Luce?" Natsu questioned, "Quick question,"

"What is it?" Lucy answered.

"What if the strongest team went against Zeref, well excluding Happy. Do you think we can win?" he questioned completely seriously.

"Well it is only worth a shot." Lucy answered.

"Well then lets try winning this fight, together," Natsu stated with his smile on his face.

"Okay!" Lucy exclaimed taking his hand. Just like the first met. The two lunged towards the dark wizard as they engaged in a two on one fight to the death.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!

Okay so here's the deal… So I have two options. I could either…

Continue the story. I have a lot of potential for this story. I have a lot of ideas and a plot twist for the story.

OR B

Start a new story in place of this one called Remixing My Life. I would still make this f=one but I would be adding to What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger as well. Here's a quick preview of it.

(SIDE NOTE: The dubstep artists in this story are real and the songs I use in the story are real. Unless I specifically say that the label/artist/song isn't real assume that it is a real label/artist/song and support them. The songs are nothing like pop but in my opinion SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks for the appreciation and consideration of actually reading the side note!)

"Thanks guys that's it for today! See you next week!" The artist finished as she officially completed her 99th podcast. As an unofficial remixer she had about 5,210 fans on YouTube podcasts. Correction 5,211. Wait… no now she has 5,212. She smiled as she closed her tab reaching over her mixer and turn tables on the floor. She just received the new Technica AT for her 17th birthday from her best friend, Levy. Both her and Levy are dubstep artists.

Oh I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Lucy Heartfilia, who goes under the dubstep artist of San Holo! (San Holo in real life is actually a boy who has some really good songs! My fav has to b- Wait! I'm getting off topic! Back to the story!) I'm part of the dubstep collaboration with Diamond Eyes aka Levy. We didn't know that both of were dubstep artists at first. Our collab channel is called Keys and Krates but no one other than the two of us and our friends know what our actual dubstep accounts are. All that the public knows it that Keys and Krates has amazing remixes but the members of Keys and Krates is unknown. But they knew that Diamond Eyes and San Holo were friends so they left it at that even though San Holo's and Keys and Krates' remixes were so similar…

Please Review which you would rather me do!
