A/N: Hello

Please enjoy? 😢

With each beating sound of her heart, she draws closer to her destination. With each steps taken, the time slows with adrenaline. Sounds became muffled as the object of her mission came into view.

Lucy was ready.

"I had only heard about you once years ago. But I would've never imagine you to be this powerful, Lucy Heartfillia." Mard Geer spoke up as Lucy came closer.

"I won't let you destroy magic in this world." Lucy said defiantly.

Mard Geer only smirked as he sat comfortable in his throne. "FACE will be unleashed in 10 minutes. Can you stop me in time and stop FACE? I think you lack the resource for that type of feat."

Lucy hummed defiantly as she smirked inwardly. "Who said that I'll be doing all of that on my own? I didn't come here unprepared."

Mard Geer stared at the blonde wizard, trying to see what she has up her sleeves. "You humans are not capable of besting us demons. Just insolence. What are you capable of?"

Lucy then frowned. "I came here to fight. Not to talk." She unleashed her celestial powers and a golden mist covered Lucy's fists.  "I'm here to end you."

"My my. This shows how insolent you are. You may be strong, but I'm stronger than you." Mard Geer stood up from his throne while holding a book close to his chest.

When Lucy caught sight of the book, she knew exactly what it was. "That book... END is it?"

"END, our master will help us summon Zeref so we can reclaim this world rightfully as ours." Mard Geer replied.

Lucy frowned before running forward, attempting to land a punch on the demon to analyze its strength and capabilities.

Mard Geer was quick to deflect the punch, and flicked a finger to send Lucy backwards. Rolling against the ground, the blonde wizard jumped back to her feet and retained a defense position.

Lucy stared at the demon and contemplated on her next set of action.

...

Leo was inches away when the giant demon was close to crushing Wendy and Carla, but made quick moves to knock the demon temporarily.

"You alright?" Leo asked as she helped Wendy and Carla up.

Wendy struggled to sit up and looked at the man that had just saved her. "W-Who are you?"

"Ah I forgot. I never showed my face around you. I'm Leo, or Loki. A member of Fairy Tail, and Lucy sent me to help you." Leo pushed his glasses up.

"Lucy-san!? She's alright?!" Wendy exclaimed, happy to hear that her friend was still alive.

Leo smiled before facing the demon that was back on its feet. "Yes. And I was instructed to help you take out FACE. I'll deal with this monster while you take out FACE."

Wendy nodded as she got on her feet and turned to face FACE. "Alright. Thanks. Carla, are you with me?"

"Of course. I'll follow you anywhere." Carla grinned as she carried Wendy closer to FACE.

"Now... It's time for me unleash my fury on you." Leo raised his fist and glared at the demon.

...

It felt like the life was being sucked out of him. His strength fading into the clutches of his enemy. And he was bound. He couldn't move, or muster enough strength or magic to escape this demon.

"Damn it!" Natsu cussed under his breath as he was pressed against the ground against his will.

"My life can't end! I still hadn't eaten all the fish in the world yet!" Happy exclaimed as he was suffering the same fate as Natsu.

The demon that was holding them bound was laughing hysterically as he was absorbing their magic. Not another second, he was hit in the stomach and was pushed backwards with unbelievable strength.

The magic that restrained Natsu and Happy was now released and the dragon slayer stood up and decided to try and different tactic. Knowing that this demon absorbs the soul of the living, he picked up a giant rock that was ten times his size. With a demonic look, Natsu started pounding the demon with the rock.

After his tenth hit, the rock shattered and saw that the demon laid defeated.

"Nice one Natsu!" Happy yelled.

"By the way... who kicked him?" Natsu looked around, wondering what force was capable of sending this demon across the room.

"I am pleased that you are safe. Princess will be happy to know that I did my job."

Natsu turned around to see a familiar face that he wouldn't had though he would see. "Maid girl! Ah.... What's your name again? Burger? Hurger? Furgo?

"Burger sounds delicious? Should I be punished with burgers?" The girl said, as if she was looking forward to the said punishment.

"It's one of Lucy's spirit!" Happy yelled, remembering seeing her in one of their battles that they had fought together.

Natsu palmed his fists. "Ah! That's right? There's a fish one, a crab one, a cow... and what else..."

"More fishes!" Happy jumped, drooling at the thought of Pisces and Aquarius offering themselves to Happy.

...

"Lucy is pushing herself"

"I can sense her stress."

"We need to tell someone."

"I agree... I know just the perfect person to help Lucy."

"Let's find her."

Two small spirits floated away to a specific direction where they knew the person that they are scouting would be at.

Minutes later, Gemini arrived to a battlefield with explosions and rubbles flying everywhere. And he/she (I dunno what gender Gemini is ^.^;) scanned the area and finds Mira battling one of the demons. Seconds later, Gemini spots Erza giving Mira a hand in taking down the demon.

Without thinking, Gemini transformed in a powerful form that he/she had come into contact with. Once Gemini had finished the transformation, he/she proceeded toward the battle and activated its magic.

A golden magic wrapped around both hands was now shot toward the demon and the demon was sent toward the end of the room.

This had gained the attention of Mira and Erza, and Erza sported a more surprised look. "Lucy?"

"Glad to see that you are okay." Mira smiled.

"I've been looking for you Erza." Gemini approached the girls.

Erza was slightly shocked, mostly because Lucy was acting totally different than when she had last seen her. "You been looking for me?". The longer she was looking at Lucy, her heart sped up a little, and found herself falling for the blonde all over again. She had missed looking those beautiful chocolate pools.

Gemini walked closer to Erza. "I want you to go and help Lucy."

"Aren't you Lucy?..." Mira asked while tilting her head to the side.

"Huh? Oh no. I'm Gemini. I took this form so could help you."

Erza was immediately disappointed to see that this wasn't the real Lucy. But then again, it was nice to see her face nonetheless. "What's happening? Is Lucy okay?"

"Ever since you had disappeared seven years ago, Lucy had taken a sudden turn of personality. She refuses help, and tries really hard not to show emotions. Me and the other spirits could immediately tell that Lucy had been suffering. We tried to help her, but she shuts us off. We could only obey her orders. Not even our leader could talk some sense into her." Gemini explained with a sad tone.

"Where is she now?" Erza demanded. She vows to not let Lucy feel like that again.

"She's headed toward the leader of the demons, Mard Geer." Gemini answered.

Erza turned to Mira just as the demon that Gemini had knocked away was getting back up. "Mira, can you finish this demon off? I'm going after Lucy."

"Of course. Leave her to me." Mira smiled.

Erza nodded in approval and turned to Gemini. "Lead the way."

"Of course!" Gemini turned and made way toward to the location of Lucy and Mard Geer.

Erza will be damned if she has to let Lucy do everything on her own again. She had already left Lucy in dark unintentionally for seven years, but she won't let that happen again. She won't.

Silence is the worst enemy to face  when you're alone, and Erza knows how Lucy feels. She will help Lucy, whether she wants it or not.

A/N: Kinda forcing myself to write lol. What you think of this chapter. Next chapter should be the last chapter of the arc
