ALEX POV

I know Erza said to meet the rest of the team back at the palace, but I'm worried that they are here in Crocus. I decided to take a look around the city. In the distance, I saw the Grand Magic Games arena. It was HUGE. "How big is this city?!" I exclaimed to myself. Then I felt a dark presence. I spun around to find no one near me, not for miles."It must be my imagination," I told myself. "Oh, you must be mistaken, my dear Alex," said a familiar voice inside my head."Telepathy? That means.." I started, but was cut off by the voice,"Yes Alex, it's me. Your old friend...... do I need to remind you?" He asked me. I clenched my fists,"Haruniki, why are you here?" He just chuckled in my mind and said,"We both know what Vallens after and why I'm here." I looked around to see where he was, I know he is some where near me.

"Alex!" I hear two people yell. I froze in my steps and didn't dare turn around. I already knew who they were."And it looks like one of my targets has arrived," the voice now confirmed as Haruniki. I widened my eyes in fear and quickly turned around to face Lucy and Gray. I yelled at them both,"RUN, NOW! BEFORE IT'S...." too late. Haruniki sent me flying backwards. He landed and faced towards me,"Now it wouldn't be fun if they left right when things started to heat up." I just growled in anger."Alex? Who is this?" Gray asked me looking at Haruniki."Oh. She hasn't introduced me yet. I feel offended," Haruniki joked,"My name is Haruniki and Alex, my friend Pirus, and I...." I interrupted before he could continue,"Haruniki, don't you dare tell them about that part of my past." He ignored my warning," were all part of a team in my masters group." I noticed Lucy take a step back, Gray was awestruck."I tried to tell you," I said as I shot myself up in the air and started to chant an attack,"FIRE DRAGON'S........." He started to chant one as well,"BLACK DRAGON'S......."

NATSU POV

I saw a huge explosion over towards the arena. It was a mix of fire and black mist. "Alex must be over there. Which means Lucy and Gray must be with her," Erza said starring at the explosion. I was starting to get worried when, BANG BANG BANG, three bullets came at me, but I dodged them quickly. When I regained my balance, I saw Trace reloading a shot gun. "What is that bastard doing here?" I said and clenched my fists in anger. Jose appeared behind him and replied,"We're here to finish our job. To collect our target." I knew who he was talking about. He continued,"Haruniki is handling our dear friend Alex, your friend the Demon Queen, and that Ice- Devil Slayer." I was starting to get furious. "If your friend hurts my friends or Lucy, your all dead," I assured them and started to attack,"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST." I hit Trace straight on who lost his balance and fell over. Jose finally revealed his magic,"LIGHTNING EMPEROR STORM HAVEN." I just chuckled and said,"So you don't know yet do you?" I let the attack hit me. He smirked in triumph. Trace face-palmed and said,"You idiot. Remember when Alex beat your ass using that certain mode?" Jose just said,"Yeah, but she said that her foster brother.........also........had the........... same power." When he saw me still standing, his eyes widened in fear. He saw my entire body was on fire with lightning buzzing around it.

"Now I'm all fired up," I said and sent an attack,"LIGHTNING FLAME DRAGON'S ROAR!" I knocked out Jose right away. Now all that's left is Trace, he was muttering something under his breathe. I heard what he was saying,"Pirus have you taken care of Titania and the Sky Sorceress yet?" I turned to see Wendy on her knees breathing heavily and Erza fighting with a woman with the same colored hair and golden eyes. She was also a Requip mage as well. Erza was having problems. "Alright, Trace, your next," I said as I lifted him in the air and kicked him into the woman who was fighting Erza."Uggh, Trace! You asshole! You just interuppted my damn fight!" the woman named Pirus yelled shoving Trace off of her and jumping back into battle.

"Natsu, go find and help the others, now!" Erza ordered. I nodded and left. "Hang in there guys I'm coming," I said to myself.

ALEX POV

Gray was breathing heavily trying to get to his feet. Lucy was in Demon's Soul form, since she didn't have enough energy to use Angel's Wrath or go into Demon Queen mode. I, on the other hand, was in Dragon Queen form, and was weakening by the second. Haruniki seemed to be fine. Not even a single drop of sweat was on him. "FIRE DRAGON'S TAIL WHIP," I chanted and the firey whip appeared in my hand. I sent multiple strikes at him, but only few of them hit him."BLACK DRAGON'S WING ATTACK," Haruniki chanted, aiming for Gray. Gray tried blocking it, but couldn't do it in time. He was knocked unconcious. It was up to me and Lucy to try and beat him."DARK SHADOW STRIKE," Lucy chanted and sent tons of orbs of dark mist and hit Haruniki all over his body. He winced in pain and said,"Huh, not bad Demon Queen, but I think I'm a little better." That's when Lucy noticed a black spear heading at her really fast she just barely dodged the spear, but it went through her leg. She screamed out in pain.

"Lucy!" I yelled trying to get to her and help, but Haruniki had smashed my ankle with his foot. I felt the bone snap and fell to the ground. I held my ankle in pain. All I could do was watch as Haruniki kicked Lucy across the stone street and "tch" in pain. Then he picked her up by her throat, and lifted her up in the air. "HARUNIKI STOP!" I yelled at him. He just turned and smirked."It'll be your turn soon," He said. Lucy was scratching at his hands, trying to free herself from his grasp. Haruniki threw her again, but this time, she hit a wall and was then unconcious. She transformed back into her normal clothes. Haruniki threw her over his shoulder and started to walk away.

"Now if you'll excuse me," he started," I need to get back to Vallen so we can at least get started on the plan." I sat myself up against the wall, my ankle bleeding out."I should probably warn you of two things," I said before he left. He looked back at me,"Oh really and what are those two warnings?" He asked. "I'm gonna beat your ass for what you did. The other thing you'll wish you never hurt that girl right there," I raised my finger shakily and pointed at Lucy. "And why is that?" He asked as if I was just joking. "Because Natsu isn't just gonna beat your ass as well, but he will turn you and Vallen into ashes." Haruniki flinched in suprise, but the suprise turned into a smirk,"I doubt he will beat me." Then he left. I slammed my fist into the street. "I'm sorry, Natsu," I said before going blank. Before I went completely out, I heard foot steps running towards me and Gray."Alex? Gray? What happened? Where's Lucy?" I heard a male voice said."N-Natsu," I muttered then blanked out.

NATSU POV

"N-Natsu," Alex muttered, then she went unconcious. "What the hell happened?" I thought out loud. Gray grunted and his eyes shot open."WHAT HAPPENED?" He shot up into a sitting position. He looked around and saw me beside Alex. He had a look of confusion and fear in his eyes."Where's Lucy, Ice-Perv?!" I yelled at him walking over to him. He stuttered,"I-I don't know. This guy just appeared out of no where and attacked Alex. Then we all got into a fight. He uses Dragon Slayer magic as well. He knocked me out first, but before I went black he caught Lucy off guard and shot her in the leg with a black spear." I was furious. My dream could possibly be coming true."Gray," I said. He looked up at me and I continued with a look of death in my eyes,"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!" I launched my self at him and started to fight with him. I was about to punch him in the face when I heard a scary voice from a familiar mage roar at me,"NATSU STOP HITTING GRAY!! HE IS HURT BADLY. IF YOU DON'T STOP, I WILL BEAT YOU TO A PULP!!" I froze in fear and said,"Y-Yes Erza," I said. Erza and Wendy walked up to us. Wendy started to heal Alex right away, starting with her ankle.

"Do you mind explaining what happened Gray?" Erza asked. She wasn't giving him a choice, she had a sword pointed to his throat. I was laughing in my head. Gray explained what happened again to Erza."He was after Lucy?" She asked. "Okay, Gray. It's your turn," Wendy said tiredly. Gray was refusing, but Erza forced him over there to Wendy."That Haruniki guy also said something else," Gray began,"He was probably lying, but he said that him, Alex, and someone named Pirus were all friends awhile back." Erza's eyes widened and so did Wendy's."We fought someone named Pirus. Maybe that Pirus and your Pirus are the same," Wendy said. Then they started to talk about something else, but I wasn't paying attention. All I could think of was the dream and how I can find Lucy."Natsu! Are you awke in there?" I heard Erza say waving her hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" was all I could get out of my mouth. Wendy and Gray facepalmed. "Do you need any healing?" Wendy finally asked. I shook my head. "All I'm worried about is finding Lucy. So are we gonna go? " I asked everyone."We can't go yet, Natsu," Erza said finally."What?!" I exclaimed angrily,"Why not? If we don't go, who knows what their gonna do to her! I'll go by myself if I......BAM......" Someone slammed their fist into my gut. Then everything went black.
