~Natsu~ 

As Erza was driving like crazy I was a tad annoyed toward Gramps for not letting Eclair join us in our small mission. To free Lucy we needed to throw a crystal made by Eclair and Mavis into the one Lucy was trapped inside. Well that was what we first thought. Eclair wasn't allowed to join as she was still recovering from the fight last year. She only was just able to walk once again and her wings were growing back causing her great pain. Even her magic was only just coming back to her. She got badly hurt that day and before hand being a prisoner for 555 years.

Erza stopped the car out the no where nearly sending me and Gray both flying as we looked out the window to see the area filled with monsters heading toward the temple. "MOVE FAST" Erza spoke as she didn't have to say again we all was out the truck faster than anything as I pulled out Flames who was hyped up for the battle at hand. We attacked monsters from the back in our way as we rushed to the front getting attention from the others as there things looked like ghouls. Many where sending fireballs toward us.

I cut them in half with Flames getting the balls get sucked up into his sword as Erza was at the entrance turning Twin Bloods into bow and arrows fighting from range as Gray was able to turn Icer into a sword joining me with close combat. The two trading places. Gray and I were an badass team when working together. "We can't waste to much power if we are to kill that bastard who has Lucy too" Gray spoke sending ice spikes from the ground killing most of the ghouls in front of him in a line as I was sending explosive fire waves.  

The more we killed more came from the woods that grew around the temple. "I thought a crew checked this place out an hour ago" Erza spoke sounding annoyed sending arrows into the air as small missals came down in their place blowing most of the place up. 'Below us, dark power is radiating off something, it is drawing everything dark here' Flames spoke worrying me about Lucy as my grip on Flames tighten rushing in after sending another wave cutting heads off ghouls bodies as they was more wanting to kill Erza than us.

That confused me. "Erza why these creeps want you?" Gray and I shouted at the same time annoyed slightly that they didn't want to fight us head on also. "Twin Bloods have pure bloodlust and hate for what happened with Luke, they can sense it and want to challenge it" Erza answered as she had gotten smarter with her own weapons after this whole year. It was a pretty big and nice shock. She was also the only one to learn to understand Zodiacs without needing Loke.

Zodiacs wouldn't let anyone else carry it around making it hard for me to ask Erza to go get Lucy ahead as Mavis entrusted Erza with the crystal. "We will have to push them back and set up a shield around the temple" Gray spoke sending out ice weapons at the ghouls as I was slightly out of breath as my mind was on other things. "GET TO THE TEMPLE SHIELD GOING UP" Erza shouted getting a shield generator from her pocket as Gray and I sent a wave mixed of fire and ice out pushing all ghouls around back as we rushed to Erza's side.

Once there she put up a red shield as we all rushed ahead toward the downstairs of the temple. "Flames, Icer, Twin Bloods let us see Lucy's spirit" I begged as they glowed for a second as after that we heard swords clashing along with Luke's laughter. We got to the room and saw Lucy's spirit get cut in the side by Luke's as Lucy's body grew a cut just like the one on her spirit. We all tried rushing in but a unknown barrier blocked us. "Zodiacs" I spoke as they gave a low jingle. "They are unsure, they can't get through also" Erza spoke worried.

We all was forced to watch worried and scared for Lucy as Luke laughed once more.

~Lucy~ 

Luke laughed as I was on the ground getting up my hair giving a shadow to cover my eyes as I was bleeding badly by my side. "Give it up Lucy, just join me already and we can get out the crystal" Luke soon spoke as I felt people trying to get into the entrance. Luke had a barrier around the room. I pushed myself to my feet once more. I was out of breath. "You want out to see them again don't you? I can let you see them for one more day before we move on into our own world, where we can be at peace" Luke then spoke offering me even.

"I won't lie, I am tempted" I spoke shaking from pain as I knew my body couldn't hold this up much without healing magic and I was low on magic as it was. "I won't give up. Me being free for a day means you are also" I then spoke blocking Luke's attack as he broke my sword in half making my eyes widen as I moved my head up to uncover my eyes as I was pushed back into the wall the cut on my side getting another just the same next to it. I was coughing blood as I was unable to stand or move as Luke walked toward me.

"Then I will have to send you to the next life painfully" Luke only spoke as I heard the clashing sound of keys. My eyes watered hearing the voices of the Zodiacs. I turned my head so did Luke to the entrance of the room to see Natsu, Erza and Gray there. Zodiacs on Natsu's belt. "Guys" I whispered smiling as Luke looked annoyed and upset. I coughed again my hand over my mouth as everything was dizzy for a couple of seconds as I noticed blood over my hand. "Crap" I whispered as it seemed my head hit the wall and the ground too hard.

"Weaklings trying to interfere" Luke spoke giving a 'tisk' looking toward me. "We shall die finally together sister" Luke then spoke sending his sword flying toward me as the others shout my name as some reason I felt my magic back inside my body along with strength as I caught Luke's sword with my hands. I was struggling to hold it back as it had cut both my hands. "Like hell I am dying like this" I spoke moving up still holding the sword and pushing it up as I got up. I wobbled slightly at first. 

"You died 556 years ago sister remember that?" Luke asked as what Queen Mavis showed me so long ago replayed through my head making more rage build up. "Yes I remember, you betraying us all" I snapped as he only sighed shaking his head as I sent a magic wave through the sword sending Luke flying off the sword that I dropped onto the ground. "Zodiacs, curse spells on the shield should let you all in" I then spoke weakly and out of breath as I heard the jingling of the Zodiacs as the shield was starting to weaken. 

"Brother once that crystal opens you die and go into the next world, you gave up on this world wanting to drag me with you, my mission is not over" I spoke picking up the sword walking toward Luke limping while doing so as he was on the ground bleeding badly on his side as I was leaning over him. "I hope the brother I meet when I die is the brother I loved and trusted" I then added as he looked toward me his hazel eyes were much darker than they used to be. "We both know you won't be the same person once freed sister" Luke spat toward me.

Soon the shield went down as I closed my eyes smiling. "Hai, I won't be the same person but in the end my mission will always be the same" I spoke as Luke burst into laughter getting me to open my eyes looking toward him slightly confused. "You admit yourself when true peace returns you would rather kill yourself than let others see how TRULY damaged you are" Luke spoke as I took a deep breath moving the sword in my hands into the air. Blood coming off it, dipping to the ground. The dripping sound echoing slightly around the room.

"Then that day we will see each other again "I spoke swinging my sword down striking the final blow on my brother. His eyes widen at first but he soon slopped down fully his head on it's side with his eyes stuck widen looking filled with guilt as my hand was shaking as my eyes watering. "What did he mean by not coming out the same?" I heard Erza's voice behind me sounding worried as I turned around looking toward them. "My wings are tainted" I answered as all the weapons flew into the air and away from my spirit, even Zodiacs.

The others were confused. "Tinted?" Gray asked confused as I wiped my eyes before I could try and show how weak and damaged I really was. "Dark Curse put as a tint on my wings The curse won't fully work until I give up into the darkness like Luke wanted but until I am turned cannot be cured" I explained as they was in shocked. "Fairies cursed were more deadly" I then whispered looking toward the ground with my eyes closing as I was holding back much emotion. I was so glad to see them.

I was so glad they was here. I wanted to show them that but I couldn't. 'You forget the suffering and pain it brings you, the taint will also affect your mind unless you can find a true light, a true lover to help you, you will be in pain all the time, you will be fighting your own mind!' I heard Flames's voice in rage as I laughed slightly. "I have had it for the last year, I kinda thought it was Luke doing all that part" I spoke opening my eyes slowly as I looked up to see Natsu move forward to stand in front of me.

Or should I say my spirit. "We will find a way, just like we found a way to get you out of there" Natsu spoke smiling at me as I was in some shock. His voice was normal, excited and childish even. He didn't sound affected by the news at all. "You are so sure?" I asked as he reminded me of myself when I first joined the war. I knew he went through pain nearly as much as my own but he kept the happy and childish tone. "Because we always win, you in a way prove that Lucee" Natsu spoke shocking me at the last part.

"Lucee?" I asked confused as he looked away his cheeks hinting pink. "Nickname I made for you before you moved out back then" he answered as I laughed slightly. A real laugh. I was smiling too as he looked toward me. "I like it" I replied as he smiled slightly as he turned his head to Erza and Gray who were both smirking. "Stripper Queen is into Juvia" Natsu soon spoke as Erza was looking toward him smirking as Gray's face went pure red. "The last year they been close" Natsu then whispered to me.

I smirked. "Oh really Gray?" I asked as he looked away crossing his arms not answering getting me to laugh once more. "How about we set you free, Natsu get ready to catch Lucy, Zodiacs get ready to heal fast" Erza spoke moving in front of the crystal as Natsu moved next to her as I looked toward my body. I saw Erza throw something red at my crystal as everything for me went black and even more painful. All the pain, cuts, gashes and so on from Luke got ten times more painful than before as I heard the smashing of glass. 

T-they really freed me again....
