Lucy stood against a pillar at the far end of the stage, holding onto her clothes tightly. Natsu fought vigorously in front of her.

It was the first time she had seen fight someone other than herself. She had realized that when she fought him herself, he was indeed holding back. The reason behind that she had no real idea.

Within just a few minutes Natsu had manged to take down Beast, who for his lack of strength had talked quite a lot of serious trash.

His shape shifting magic was no real challenge for Natsu. It became clear to Lucy that Beast was in fact the weakest link in the guild.

Blair sat back and watched the dragon slayer from farther back. No doubt studying his moves.

She had yet to show her cards yet, which was something that made her even more terrifying. Her emerald eyes were virtually unreadable from where Lucy stood.

Lucy felt helpless. She wanted to jump into the fight and prove she wasn't weak. But without her keys it was almost pointless to even think about taking on any of them. Even if she had Natsu's help.

Hallow had Natsu's attention at the moment. He was quick to jump in after Beast fell, hoping to protect his beloved Guild Master from the blow Natsu was going to hit her with. Hallow's magma didn't seem to faze Natsu much at all as he guzzled it down his throat.

"Man, that stuff tickles." The dragon slayer chuckled slightly, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

Hallow stood in shock for a moment. Not knowing what to think about Natsu literally eating his magic.

Luckily for Lucy, Gray had explained to her the things Natsu could do. So seeing him chock down one of the hottest things on Earth-Land wasn't really such a surprise.

Lucy's eyes widened. Hallow took three quick swings at Natsu, yet not a single one hit him as he danced from side to side.His large arms slashing through the air, attempting to take down the pink haired man that was causing him far too much trouble. Shots from the left and then right were fired but not a single one hit their target. 

It was clear to Lucy that Natsu was toying with the giant. Only allowing himself to be hit a couple times before smashing a hard flaming fist into his enemies face. Knocking Hallow down to the ground. Which didn't seem to make him all too happy.

Just then a door to her left was kicked down. To her surprise, Levy and Gray stepped onto the stage area.

She watched as the two looked around at what was going on.

A certain sadness filled Gray's eyes as he saw Lucy backed up against a support pillar away from the actual fighting that was going on. His eyes flashed to his right and they landed on Natsu, who had yet to break a sweat.

Ignoring the fact that Natsu had beaten Gray at finding Lucy, he ran over to her. Cupping her face in his hands. Pulling her closer to his own body.

"Luce, are you alright?!" He shouted hastily.

Lucy watched Levy as she was suddenly stuck by Nightmare Elements dangerous water wizard, Vallen. Levy jumped back, avoiding the boiling hot water that flew her direction.

Gray shook Lucy's shoulders to get her attention. Her eyes snapped back to Gray's and she nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Oi, Popsicle stick, Levy. What are you doing here? Can't you see I got this!" Natsu growled from behind Gray.

Levy had seemed to have taken a bit of damage from the few attacks Vallen hit her with.

Her thick yellow headband had fallen out and was now laying on the wooden planks that made up the stage.

Blair on the other hand seemed rather amused. Like everything was playing out in her favor.

Lucy didn't see how it would though. Beast had already been taken out, leaving only three of them left.Plus Hallow was almost at the end of his line already. His magical power didn't seem to match Natsu's in the slightest.

Hallow was running quite low. Any second now he would topple to the ground, this time being unable to get back up.

It was also now not just one against the guild but three Fairy Tail Wizards. Gray stood up. Knowing that this had to end soon. He had to take down the girl before she could get her hands back on Lucy. Because if Lucy ended up in her grasp again. It would all be over.

Blair's eyes landed on Gray who began to take a few steps toward her. A wicked smile plastered on her face. "Finally, I get a little fun."

"You hurt Lucy. Now your gonna pay for it." Gray muttered, placing his fist against the palm of his other hand. A look of pure hate took over his face, it was the same look Natsu had when the fight first began.

"Ice make, lance!" Gray shouted as seven long ice arrow looking things shot from his hands and showered down Blair from above.

"Wind blade!" Blair spoke, flicking her wrist only slightly as the ice sickles tumbled to the ground in tiny fragments before any of them had a chance to harm her.

"You're going to have to do better than that if you want to take me down, Ice boy." She laughed lightly, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Eh? You down already big boy? I was just starting to have fun!" Lucy heard Natsu question with an annoyed tone. 

Hallow had toppled to the ground, letting out a large sigh of defeat. Natsu had taken down two of the four members of Nightmare Element and still had yet to look even slightly tired. 

The other two's battles didn't seem to be going nearly as well. Gray couldn't seem to get a single hit on Blair. Her mind magic overpowering his Ice Make magic. He seemed a bit ruffed up but nothing life threatening. Blair on the other hand had not a single scratch of her flawless skin. 

Lucy had never seen Levy fight, well she had never seen Gray fight either but now that she thought about it she didn't even know what Levy's magic was. It looked like a form of script magic. Large oversized words that took on the property of what ever it said. 

Natsu walked over to where Lucy was now sitting on the ground. His face was calm and no longer full of hate. It was clear he had faith that the other two could successfully take down the last remaining members because he turned his back to the fighting. 

"Lucy, we need to get you out of here. You've got some wounds here that look pretty serious." He knelt down next to her, rubbing his thumb across a gash that had stopped bleeding hours ago on her cheek. 

"What about Gray and Levy? You need to help them!" Lucy cried, clinging to Natsu's left arm. Her face had been taken over with a worried and panicked look. 

Natsu shook his head and stood. "One thing you need to know about Fairy Tail wizards, is that they never lose. Gray and Levy will be fine."

With that he stood and held out his head, gesturing for Lucy to take it. Giving him a nod, she placed her hand in his and waited as he pulled her up to her feet. Her legs wobbled feeling the pressure of her own weight. 

She hadn't been fed or given much to drink the past few days she had been Nightmare Elelment's prisoner. Meaning her physical condition was not at its peak. Natsu noticed the trouble she was having doing something as simple as standing up. So he placed one arm on her back and the other on the back of her knees before sweeping her off her feet. 

Lucy felt her face began to burn as she was pressed up against Natsu's nearly bare chest. She covered her face up, hoping he wouldn't see or notice it. Out of no where Lucy felt something semi light land on her stomach. 

She looked up to see Natu's blue exceed, Happy. He was gazing down at her in question. "Are you okay?"

Lucy nodded slowly before answering. "Yes, Happy. I'm fine." 

"Good! Natsu, I got all of the men out of the theatre just like you asked." Happy spoke, turning to his pink haired friend. 

Natsu escorted Lucy out of the building, leaving his two guild mates behind to finish fighting off the dark guild. She wasn't sure how far she was from their Inn but it was clear she was still in fact in the city. It was mid day so the streets were packed tight with pedestrians. 

Lucy felt her eyes start to get heavier and heavier. Sleep was also something she was deprived of. She felt her hand grip onto Natsu's vest, pulling herself even closer to him and letting out a small breath of air.

"Thank you, Natsu." She breathed lightly before letting herself drift off into a well needed sleep.
