A/N: Hello

Please enjoy? 😢

It didn't take Lucy long to locate the enemy's base. The dark magical energy was enough for her to track down. Tartaros is too confident in their strength and is not being subtle about being hidden.

She stood from a distance, observing the floating block, mentally thinking how it can even fly. How even?

Sting, Rouge, Minerva, Yukino, Kagura, Jellal and his men stood next to the blonde's side, observing the floating castle. They too, were in slight shock of such massive floating cube. How even?

"Someone is coming." Cobra perked up, his senses on high alert.

Lucy shifted her senses and turned her eyes to the side, seeing an incoming object, flying straight toward the castle. Lucy focused her senses and attempted to indentify the intruder.

"Natsu?" Lucy frowned, wondering how he could find the floating castle. After a minute of possible scenario, it was possible that he tracked down the senses of Erza and Mira.

"That was fast" Sting muttered with admiration.

"To be able to track down the castle. Amazing." Yukio said.

"He might get in the way though." Kagura mumbled while watching Natsu fly toward the castle with annoyance.

"As expected from someone who beaten the twins dragons." Racer smirked

Sting merely glared at the man.

"Should we fight alongside him?" Rough asked, indicating if he should fight alongside the Fairy Tail mage.

"The presence of Natsu will not change our goal. We are here to defeat Tartaros and save Erza and Mira." Lucy voiced out her orders to her members.

"I call dibs on fighting with Natsu!" Sting exclaimed.

Rouge sighed. "I'll go with Sting."

"Yukino and I will go around the castle and try and defeat any enemy that we come across." Kagura narrowed her eyes as she watched Natsu breaking through the wall of the castle, successfully breaking in.

Yukino only nodded.

"Me and my crew will take care of the outside, making sure that there won't be no interference to your fight." Jellal crossed his arms.

"What will you do, Lucy?" Rouge asked, looking at the blonde.

It took Lucy a couple seconds of silence before speaking. "I'm going to rescue Erza and Mira, and then find their master and defeat him."

"Alright then! Let's go and kick some butt!" Sting smashed his hands together.

"Everyone know their roles?" Lucy asked.

After seeing that they all agreed, Lucy immediately dismissed them with a hand signal. Once seeing that they all left to perform the tasks that they must do, Lucy performed her celestial fusion and teleported into the castle, where Natsu had previously broken in.

Once she was inside, she saw no trace of the dragon slayer and scanned the room. The room was empty, besides the mess Natsu had made. On normal circumstances, she would be worried for him. But Lucy knows that he can take care of himself. She is more concerned on finding Erza.

She picked a random direction with an open door and dashed through the hallways. Her magical senses on all alert for any possible movement to be aware of. She could sense Kagura and Yukino already battling one of the demons. Sting and Rouge still wondering the castle, assumingly to find Natsu.

Things seems to be going smoothly...except Erza isn't in her arms yet.

Lucy sees a big room and dashed inside and spots big test tubes and spotted a small girl glaring at one of the test tubes, where there is a person inside of it. The blonde walked toward the girl, and observed the person in the test tube.

Not another second, she soon realized it was Mira, and immediately summoned Virgo and Libra.

"Punishment time, Princess?" Virgo bowed as she appeared.

"..." Libra stood silent as she took notice of her surroundings.

Lucy ignored Virgo and pointed at the little girl who is now aware of her presence. "I want you to save Mira, who is in that tube. And defeat this little annoying girl."

The little girl glared at the blonde. "Oh look at you. Wearing that fancy cloak over you. You must be so ugly." She giggled evilly.

Lucy paid her no mind and made sure that her spirits knows what to do. "Understand?"

"Yes, Princess." Virgo bowed and then took stance.

Libra stook stance as well and readied her weapons.

"Oh. Having other people fight your battle for you? You must be so weak." The little girl mumbled and grinned. "I'm probably stronger than you...and prettier than you."

Lucy glanced at the little girl, then at Mira who is unconscious in the test tube, before turning to dash out of the room, hoping to find Erza.

...

"Where is Lucy and Jellal?" An ominous voice ringed in her ears as immense pain had shot throughout her body

"I-I don't know." Erza weakly muttered as her arms and legs are tied to shackles that prevented her from using magic. "And Lucy? Isn't she dead?"

Kyoko smirked. "Oh? Then let's say that she is dead. But if she was alive right now, where would she be?" She took a step back to let the naked redhead talk.

Erza panted a little and tried to think where her blonde would be. "Hopefully with me."

A sharp pain immediately shot through Erza's Stomach, followed by a painful scream. "Not enough. How about Jellal?" Kyoko asked, readying her whip.

"What do you even need them for?" Erza muttered weakly, ignoring her enemy's question.

Kyoko whipped Erza in the stomach again, and muttered, "Where are they?", she ordered, smirking at the lovely scream of the redhead, as if it was music to her ears.

Erza screamed in pain and tried to tolerate it while mentally thinking the possibility that Lucy may actually be alive...if this demon is even asking for her. But she won't have her hopes yet.

Kyoko violently grabbed Erza's chin. "Lucy pose a threat to our master as well has something that he needs. And Jellal will help us unleash a powerful weapon."

Erza weakly glared at the demon, her eyesight slowly dimming as she slip into unconcious due to immense pain.

...

It was faint, but she heard it. It was faint, but she could feel it. And although it had been a long time, she knew the voice all to well, as well as the magic. The scream of her dearest friend that she had though to had lost. And the magic that belonged to her.

Lucy wasted no time to track down the voice and activated her magic, preparing herself for battle.

She saw a door to where Erza should be, but she felt rage slipping through her veins, anger seeping into her magic. She merely crashed into the wall, crumbling it to the ground. As the dust cleared, Lucy saw two figures. One of the demons, and the other was an unconscious naked Erza.

With one glance at the state of the redhead, a slight blush was found on the face on the blonde. Seconds later, more rage and anger made itself known. The air violently shook with the immense aura that Lucy was emmiting, that it actually made the demon shook in slight fear.

"I'm not letting you get away with this, you bitch!" Lucy raises her fist angrily and dashed forward toward the blonde.

The demon, Kyoko, smirked and raised her own hands to counteract the blonde's attack. "So I didn't have to find you after all."

Lucy glared at the demon, "I will end you."

She summoned her magic, and performed her celestial fusion powers, summoning the power of Taurus and Leo. With the combined powers of the spirits, the blonde mage brought her fist and collided against the demon's hand, and managed to send the evil demon backwards.

The demon crashed into the wall, rubbles and debris tumbling down onto the demon.

Whilst the demon was beneath the rubbles, Lucy turned to naked form of Erza who still remains unconscious. She quickly cut down the shackles that held her in place and that had prevented her to use her magic. She laid the redhead gently on the ground and removed her own cloak and covered Erza for her unintended nudity.

Lucy scanned the redhead for any serious injuries. Not seeing one, Lucy drafted her eyes to the face of Erza. Her hands barely touching her limp arm. But when she made contact, she felt it. She could feel Erza's pain. She was in pain. And Lucy was enraged.

A sudden movement from the pile of rubbles shifted and the demon rose with a smirk. "You definitely live up to your name, Lucy Heartfilia."

Lucy stood up and faced Kyoko ans clenched her fists in anger. "And I will do so much worst to you, demon."

...

It was painful, but she learned to deal with the pain. Because nothing compared to what she had gone through.

And when she had opened her eyes again, she was no longer chained upright. Now she laid on her back, and she felt warm. As if she was wrapped by the warmth of what she had been fighting for.

When she opened her eyes, her vision was blurry, but she focused on an image that looked like a person. Seconds later, she wondered if she was dead.

"Lucy?"
