~Lucy~ 

It was only three hours later I was rushing out the tent as me and Erza were both in alarm. Others were confused as Igneel, Grandine and Metalicana were all alarmed soon also. "Natsu" Erza spoke, getting everyone ready to fight as soon Life and Death showed up sending powerful blast toward the people around me as Igneel was able to push through and get by my side. "We face my son together" he spoke as I nodded as Life and Death some reason was not targeting me or Igneel but they pushed the others back.

Other Dark Types covered in armor were showing up around attacking the others also. "He is controlling all of this" I spoke in some shock as soon Natsu showed up not far in front of me and Igneel. The black markings still on his skin as the horns were gone and his onyx eyes glowing blood red like Erza's hair. "Turning evil has turned ya ugly my boy" Igneel spoke moving forward making me stay behind him as I wanted to help the others behind me who were being over run. I was annoyed at myself for being unable to do so.

"Weak. That is what we are while you stay like this why not join lover boy? He has power and an army that could deal with Acnologia a lot easier" I heard my own voice in my head as my head was soon hurting getting me to grab it. The pain growing as I saw Igneel and Natsu rush at each other both their flames fighting. Igneel's flames were orange while Natsu's were dark, red nearly black flames. Dark Flames. I fell onto my knees from the pain as I was unable to hear anything around me.

It was as if I went deaf. In a blink I saw my own image in front of me once more as she was smirking toward me. "We know I am right, so why fight? Or you could take this taint power off him for yourself" my own voice echoed around my head getting the pain to get ten times worse. I bit my own tongue hard tasting blood snapping my mind out of it as I finally was hearing the battle around me once more. "I ain't giving up" I spoke as I looked toward my image as I noticed Evil Natsu was listening in.

"I made a promise and I am sticking to it" I spoke as my own image sighed shaking her head moving close to me her head next to my ear. "Even after he is cured I will be in your head, Luke made sure of that, because our brother was sadly wrong about one thing, you was the one who was meant to turn not him" I heard my own voice in a whisper at my ear as I pushed past her, walking through her and had a seal under Natsu as Igneel stepped back. He looked toward me as I got Zodiacs out, the thirteen keys floating around me.

"We need him to stay in that seal" I spoke as Igneel nodded rushing toward Evil Natsu as I started to think of the healing chant in my mind like I did with Lisanna as I remembered the times I knew Natsu. The times he helped me and saved me even. How I cared about him even. All my thoughts to prove judgment that he should be cured. "LUCY LOOK OUT" I heard Wendy as I turned my head to see a blast coming at me until Larcade was there blocking the blast with his fingers. "I will cover you" he spoke as I smiled toward him.

"Think you can also strap him in place?" I asked seeing Igneel struggling to keep Natsu in the seal as Larcade looked toward Natsu his eyes glowing as white rags came from the ground wrapping around him. "Divine Sleep" Larcade whispered his spell as Evil Natsu looked as if he was about to pass out. He struggling to stay away as I walked up to him making this easier to heal as I put a hand on his forehead closing my eyes. I started the chant in my mind again as I knew Zodiacs would be glowing around me.

I heard Igneel out of breath near by. "I am out of shape" I heard him mumble to himself as I heard the battles of the others. Dark Types all around them but it sounded as if they wasn't struggling. They was fighting back, I heard Gajeel and Gray talking about a bet on how many they killed. Juvia and Wendy were trying to get them to focus. Erza was with with Dimaria who was talking about how impressed she was with Erza's swordsmen ship. Irene was using enchantments to weaken and then kill the Dark Types.

Brandish and August were both quiet moving around and killing in silent. They was alike in battle. Both cared about protecting the other Spriggans and their King. I was struggling to heal Natsu alone as the evil in him was fighting back and winning. "Lucy you are going pale" Igneel spoke worried and loudly as I kept going with the chant. "Zodiacs "I whispered as I knew the keys would be around Natsu giving me the extra power I needed to fight back with Natsu. I sensed he was fighting inside.

That was when my own mind was sucked into his own. I saw myself in the fire hell like in my dreams to see Natsu my normal light Natsu on the ground badly hurt as I was about to rush toward him as it was him who needed to prove this. He needed to be the one to fight. The cure was just power to help him. "Natsu" I spoke as he turned his head seeing me as I was grabbed from behind a arm wrapping around me and pulled me back. I turned my head to see the evil Natsu, my back in his chest as I struggled to break free from his grip.

Soon his sword went to my neck as I glared toward him. "Give into darkness forever or I kill her here, she will be dead back out there also" he spoke no emotion on his face as I saw something in his eyes. Feelings. He was lying. I turned my head to Natsu some reason unable to say a word. My mouth was moving but nothing was coming out not even a noise. I was struggling to speak. I was in his mind. His world along with his evil self. He knew I saw through the lie and was keeping me quiet.

I was trying to shout to Natsu. I was trying to tell him as he was struggling to get onto his feet, looking toward me worried. "You know what to do" I my brother's voice. My normal brother's voice when we was younger. Before he turned evil himself. "Your mind is attached Lucy, use the link" I then heard my brothers voice as I was scared to trust it. I was scared of what had happened before. "Big Sister, you can do it" I then heard Michelle's young voice giggling making my eyes widen in shock.

My eyes watering even as I saw young Michelle behind Natsu. She was wearing her blue sun dress with very short dirty blonde hair. "Big Sister you always win right? You have to beat up the badguys. One day I will join you in doing so, I promise" she spoke as I closed my eyes smiling a tear going down my cheek as I sent a Regulus blast remembering that Zodiacs was still connected to us both as I was still unable to talk. I grabbed the sword that looked like Flames but pure black and pulled it out of the Evil Natsu's hand and threw it away.

I moved back slightly in a fighting stance. I then only noticed the slight cut on my neck. The bleeding cut on my neck as Natsu was rushing to my side standing in front of me. "Lucy you are hurt leave, you will get killed" Natsu snapped as I shook my head no. I ended up hugging up putting him in shock as I felt my voice return. "You have to win, if I leave the cure won't work again so please Natsu...win "I spoke in a whisper as I pulled away smiling toward him with my eyes watering as he soon smiled toward me.

"Every time I lose hope you are the one to show up huh" he spoke rubbing the back of his neck as I nodded as he turned around as Evil Natsu was picking up his blade as Natsu acted as if he was pulling Flames out his holster and as Natsu pointed nothing toward his evil image Flames showed up in his own hands as the blade in Evil Natsu's hand vanished. "I won't let anyone hurt my family, I have some promises to keep" Natsu spoke sending a blast of flames toward his evil self as I was kicked out his mind.

When I woke up all I felt was pure pain. I heard people shouting mine and Larcade's name as I slowly turned my head to see Life stabbing a sword through Larcade's gut that went through my own with how long it was. Our blood bursting onto the ground as everything in my body felt weak.....
