Natsu's P.O.V
As Mira and Happy joined us, we got ready to fight against Elina even though I had no energy to even stand.
"Let us take care of her Natsu, you get some rest" Lucy said as she placed her hands on my shoulder. I protested and insisted on joining the battle but one stern look from Lucy was enough to say that she wouldn't listen to me. I sighed and stood up with the help of Lucy. I took a few steps back and leaned against the wall for support.
"Star Dress Loke x Virgo" Lucy said as her dress changed. It was a combination of both Leo form and Virgo form, being elegant and frilled, as well as having jewels adorned on various parts of the dress. The detached sleeves sat on the middle of Lucy's upper arms, and are short, puffed and are secured on both ends with dark laces. The lower half is black with a white underside, it is slit up the middle where an apron is tied around the waist, underneath is another skirt with frills. In addition, three pairs of wings manifested behind Lucy. Lucy also received a pair of earrings, a necklace and a headpiece with long dark ribbons tied in on both sides. Furthermore, Lucy's hair is partially tied in a bun where the rest flows free and a crossed keys tattoo appears at the back of Lucy's left hand with each key representing Leo's and Virgo's keys.
Lucy looked so gorgeous in this form that I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"Satan soul" Mira said as she transformed into her Satan Soul form (A/N: Sorry, I didn't explain Mira's outfit)
"Evil Explosion" Mira said as she sent a purple blast towards Elina, which she dodged and sent a water blast towards Mira.
Mira dodged it easily and Lucy chanted "O the Light of Regulus, O the Shine of Spica, Lion Maiden!" Multiple pillars of light erupted around Lucy before they hit Elina. Elina screamed in pain as she was thrown in the air, Mira immediately flew up and kicked her, making Elina fall to the ground harshly and spit blood onto the ground.
"This reminds me of when Lucy fought against Brandish in order to save you" Happy said as he walked towards me.
I remembered her fighting for me as I lay on the ground helplessly and I later lost my consciousness.
"I felt pretty useless then and I feel pretty useless now too Happy. Can't believe I came here to save her but I'm the one getting saved" I said as I looked towards the girls fighting in front of me. Lucy gave Elina a 'Lucy Kick' to her gut, making her hit the rock wall behind her. Elina tried getting up but was instead blast off the ground by Mira's 'Evil explosion", making it hard for her to stand. Her mouth was bloodied with many scratches surrounding her face and body.
"Surrender now and we'll spare your life" Mira said with her hand holding a dark purple ball of magic energy and Elina cackled in laughter.
"I would rather die than surrender to you Fairy Tail mages" she said and before any of us could do anything, Elina had used her water magic to pierce her own chest. We all were shocked at what had happened as we simply stared at Elina, unable to do anything.
Elina dropped to the ground, a sinister smile still present on her bloodied face before her body completely disappeared. A goldeb key dropped in the place she once stood.
I felt a lot better, like my lost strength was returning back to me. Lucy ran and grabbed the key that had fallen to the ground after Elina disappeared.
"Aquarius" Lucy whispered as tears formed in her eyes. "I can be reunited with you again" she whispered as she stood there, hugging the key close to her chest.
Taking a deep breath, Lucy went to the far end of the cave, which held some water. Taking a deep breath, "Gate of the water bearer, I open thee, Aquarius" she chanted as she held the key inside the water and a bright golden light appeared before Aquarius stood or rather floated in front of us.
"Aquarius!" Lucy said as tears flowed from her eyes before she jumped into Aquarius's hand and Aquarius gladly hugged her back. This was the first time I had seen Aquarius show her affection to Lucy.
"I missed you" Lucy said as she nuzzled into Aquarius's neck.
"I missed you too Lucy, but you're hurt now, you should go back with your friends and get your wound treated. We can talk about the rest later" Aquarius said and Lucy nodded with a smile before letting go of Aquarius as she disappeared back to the spirit world.
Lucy along with Mira, walked back to where I and Happy stood. She placed her hand on my right shoulder and asked "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?" and I nodded.
"Luce... I'm so sorry, you ended up getting hurt because of me" I said as I looked at Lucy.
"It was nothing Natsu, really. In fact, I should be the one who should be sorry. If not for me getting kidnapped, you wouldn't be in this situation" Lucy said as she looked down.
I lifted her chin up, making her look at me. She looked at me and I gazed back at her. Her chocolate brown eyes were so captivating, they shone with unshed tears. I gave her a big smile before placing my hands around her waist and pulled her into a warm hug, I buried my face in the crook of her neck and inhaled her intoxicating scent, which made me feel relaxed along with various other emotions. Lucy snaked her hands around me before hugging me firmly. I felt my heart skip a beat before it started beating faster. We stayed like that for a minute or two before I heard Mira and Happy giggling.
"You liiiiikkkkeeeee each other" Happy said his signature phase as he covered his mouth.
Lucy immediately let go of me and tried to pull back, but I tightened my hold around her waist and looked at her, effectively stopping her from backing out from my hold.
"I'll go to the guild first and prepare some medicine for Lucy. Happy, take me to the guild fast" Mira said and I nodded at her, still holding on to Lucy. I could see her blush hard as she gripped on to my arms.
Mira and Happy took off and I looked at Lucy sincerely, making sure she was looking at me and nowhere else.
"I will always come to save you Luce, always. Even if you don't want me to, I will still come save you, no matter what kind of situation you're in" I said looking at her softly. Lucy relaxed after hearing me and this time, she pulled me into a hug and buried her face against my chest. I placed my chin on top of her crown.
'Should I confess to her now?' I thought as I held her but then decided that it was not the right moment to do so.
"Thank you" I whispered into her hair.
"Thank you too for coming to rescue me" Lucy said and I hugged her tighter
"Ouch" Lucy said, and I loosened my grip enough to see her face.
"What happened?" I asked and Lucy gave me a small smile.
"Nothing, you just pressed my wound, making me wince is all" she said as she gave me a reassuring smile, as if to tell me that she was alright.
I let go of her and made her turn around and examined the wound before saying "How about I burn the wound in order to close it" as a joke.
"You better not bring your fire anywhere close to my wound" Lucy scolded as she took a few steps back.
"Then we better get that wound treated at the guild's infirmary" I said as I let go of Lucy and instead held her arms.
"Let's get going, shall we?" I asked and she bushed as she smiled at me and nodded.
We started walking out the cave and were headed to the guild when I caught the faint scent of the dragon slayer that I had sensed before.
I stopped and looked around but couldn't see anyone.
Lucy looked at me worriedly as she asked if I was ok. I nodded my head as I thought 'Maybe it was someone with a dragon lacrima and were on a job?'
"I'm alright Lucy, come now, let's go get that wound of yours treated" I said as I started pulling Lucy towards the guild's direction.
"You know, this wound isn't that bad right? You don't have to treat it so seriously" Lucy said as she followed me.
I just grinned at her before running off towards the guild with Lucy.
3rd person's P.O.V
A shadowy figure stood in the shadows as they observed Natsu and Lucy run off in the direction of the guild.
"These 2 Sirens were useless and so you lucked out, but you won't be lucky again" The shadowy figure whispered before cackling loudly, effectively scaring of the animal and birds nearby.
Hope you guys enjoyed reading this chapter ^^ See you all in the next chapter :)
