LUCY POV

When I woke up, I felt like I just went to hell and back. I was shackled to a circular wall and my feet weren't touching the ground, so I figured I wasn't that far from the floor. I felt bruises on my neck, wait that's right, Haruniki was strangling me. Where is everyone else? Are they here, too? Then someone walked into the room. It was Jose, he looked like he just got beat by Natsu............... Well, he probably did get beat up by Natsu. "So how are you enjoying your stay?" Jose asked me with a hint of sarcasm. He walked closer until he was right up under me, so I decided to annoy him,"I'm good, but it looks like you could use some serious help. What happened?" I asked him the question with sarcasm. His playful face turned into anger, and he slammed his fist into my stomach. I started to spit up blood. "What? Did I hit a soft spot?" I joked again. He just got more angry, but in stead of punching me, he shot me with huge amounts of lightning. "You better shut up, or it is gonna be very painful for you,"
Jose said. I stayed quiet for a little bit, then I spoke up,"They're gonna kill you." He raised his eyebrows with interest,"Oh, who is gonna kill me?" I said it again louder,"They are gonna kill you."

He smirked in amusement,"I'm sure they will, if they get past Haruniki and Pirus, and don't forget Master." I spat blood in his face, but all he did was wipe it off and electricute me, again. I screamed in pain. "Now that I've had my fun, it's Traces turn," Jose said while exiting the room. Their gonna keep going? I thought to my self. I felt the blood dripping as I waited for Trace to come in. "Please hurry," I said to myself.

NATSU POV

"So it's settled. Natsu, Alex, Erza, and Gray will go to save Lucy," Master said while sitting on the bar. Everyone nodded in agreement."Shouldn't Wendy come with us in case Lucy needs some treatment?" Gray questioned. Master shook his head, but Alex replied,"If they do end up capturing Natsu and are able to link his and Lucy's magic together, she will heal automaticly. That is why they are after them, Natsu and Lucy's invincabilty will make it easier for them to destroy towns all over Fiore." Erza and Gray nodded in understanding. I was just waiting by the door, waiting to leave. I wanted to hurry up and make sure that Lucy is fine and that they don't hurt her anymore.

"Well, what are you brats waiting for? Go!" Master ordered, and as soon as I heard him say the last word I took off to the train station."NATSU WAIT UP," I heard Alex yell behind me running as fast as she could to catch up. Not noticing it, but we both left Gray and Erza in a cloud of dust.

"They forgot about their motion sickness didn't they?" I heard Erza say begire I got to far. Then, a sensation of smartness came to my brain,"Is this an idea?" I asked my self. I shook off the question and used my idea. I sprouted my wings and flew back towards Erza. When she saw me swooping down towards her, she started to panick and run, but I caught up with her and lifted her into the air. She was freakin' out for a second, but then relaxed a little. "Thanks for making it easier for me not to drop you," I said. We looked over and saw Alex carrying Gray, who was having the same reaction as Erza. I busted out laughing, but remebered who I was carrying.

A few minutes later...... In the city of Octavion.......

We finally made it to Octavion, Alex and I started to sniff around for Lucy's scent to see if they had her in town somewhere. "I'm not smelling her, are you?" Alex asked turning towards me. I kept sniffing a little while longer,"Nope, nothing." Erza and Gray looked around. "Maybe we should look deeper into town, maybe you can catch her scent in some other parts of town," Gray suggested. We nodded and took off into the town. "We're coming, Lucy," I said to myself.

LUCY POV

Trace had finally come in, but instead of holding one of his guns, he was holding a whip. This whip had two tails and on each tail there was a sharp piece of metal, like tiny daggers. "I heard you gave Jose a hard time, but don't worry," Trace said then flicked the whip for it to crack,"I know you won't give me any trouble now will you?" I just looked at him in disgust."How can you be so sure?" I said before spitting in his face. He, just like Jose, wipped it off his face and backed away to give me a blow woth the whip. CRACK. Then after that the shrill of pain came from that room. I screamed at the top of my lungs, that I'm pretty sure all the Dragon Slayers could here it from where ever they're at. I felt the blood from a gash on my stomach pour down my leg and side. The other tail had skimmed my face, but still cut it.

"You bastard!" I yelled. CRACK. He hit me again. The gashes weren't as bad this time, they were on my left leg and arm. He hit me a few more times, then, before he left, he put all of his force on my stomach wound. Blood poured out of it and I yelled even louder. "HELP ME!!" I yelled knowing only the people in this place could here me. If Natsu and Alex were close enough, they would here it as well, but I doubt they are. Trace removed his hand and said,"Pirus said she would skip on the torture, so Haruniki is next. Have fun." He left me there. Bleeding. Sobbing. "Where are you guys?" I finally muttered.

NATSU POV

We had been sniffing around for an hour now. "Shall we go look in the forest now?" Alex asked. Then we heard it. A loud scream over came mine and Alex's ears, which made us fall to our knees holding our ears. Then I heard her scream the words HELP ME. As soon as my shock was over, I looked over at Alex, her fists still clenched to her ears. I shot up and took off in the direction I heard her scream. "Natsu wait," they all called from behind me. "I'M COMING LUCY!!" I yelled. She probably won't hear it, but I don't care. I'm going to save her from that horrible nightmare and torture she has to handle.

We finally came to a building in the middle of the woods. Lucy's scent was strong, but it was mixed with another smell, blood. Erza was holding onto my scarf like it was a leash. "Alex, You will go for Haruniki," Alex wasn't sure about her going, but she nodded in agreement,"Gray, Natsu, Jose and Trace will most likely be guarding where Lucy is, along with their master. Gray can you handle Jose and Trace on your own?" Gray nodded. "Natsu," Erza continued,"You will fight the master, and get Lucy out of here." I nodded in understanding,"Let's go!" We all ran in, but before we split up, Alex and I sniffed out everyones targets. Gray and I got stuck together. We were arguing the entire time, until we heard a scream. It was Lucy again. " Me and Gray ran faster, there was another scream, I was getting angrier every time. I heard an explosion and another scream, and got tired of running."FIRE DRAGON'S DRAGON FORCE!!" I yelled and transformed into Dragon Force mixed in with Dragon King mode. I started to fly ahead, even though Gray was yelling at me to slow down and wait. This is where it started, I thought to myself. I remembered the hallway walls.

I was getting closer to the room, I could smell Lucy and her blood from where I was at. I busted through the door just like in the dream, and knocked Jose and Trace over. I saw Lucy dangling, waiting for the hit from Vallen. I continued and hooked him in the jaw. Then I started to talk to Lucy,"Lucy! Luce are you okay?" She snapped out of her scared state,"Natsu? You came?" I didn't want to reply, but I did,"I'll never let this happen to you ever again. Okay?" She had a shocked look on her face, but nodded. "I'm all fired up," I said before leaping into battle with Vallen.

ERZA POV

I havn't found Pirus yet, but when I do find her I want to make a nice wager with her.
----------------------------------------------
10 minutes earlier..........

"Hey, Erza," Alex said before we entered our designated area's. "Yes, Alex?" I replied. She gave me a look of concern,"Please be careful. Pirus isn't like you. Her requip magic is a little stronger." That made me angry. I defeated 100 monsters single handed. How could a requip mage be hard to handle for me?!

"What do you mean?" I asked, hiding my anger. She straightened and replied,"Just like your special armor that you used in the Grand Magic Games, she has some, too. Except she has four special types of armor. I havn't seen all but one, her Fairy Slayer armor." The name just made me horrified."F-Fairy Slayer?!" I asked in shock. She just nodded, but the horrific feeling turned into an idea and a smirk,"Don't worry about me I always get what I want." With that I left a horrified Alex behind me and entered the dark hallway.
----------------------------------------------
I finally came to a room, filled with different types of weapons. Whips, swords, staffs, guns, bombs, even smaller versions of Etherion. I looked around for a bit when I heard someone speak,"See something you like?" Pirus. I spun around to see her leaning against the door frame. She was smirking over me admiring a sword and staff I had found. "Some caught my attention," I replied placing them down carefully,"Are these all yours I asked gesturing at the many weapons in the room. She shrugged and said,"Eh, not all if it only the mini Etherions and those whips. I can keep all of my other good weapons in my inventory." Is she mocking me? I thought furiously to myself. "Well, I would fit all of my armor and weapons in me if it didn't weigh me down," I replied back and requiped into my Flight Armor. She requiped as well, she also had Purgatory Armor. "Shall we?," I asked and we both leaped foward.

ALEX POV

I was jogging. Should I tell him about what really happened or should I just beat him and leave? I don't want to put him through more heart break. I was thinking to my self, when a black spear came launching at me. I quickly dodged it and regained my footing. "That was a dirty trick don't ya think?" I asked Haruniki who was coming out of the shadows. He didn't reply, he just kicked me into the next room. It was where he stayed............... with Shikora. "Lets get this over with," Haruniki snapped. I stood up,"I know I have no right to say this, but I miss Shikora." He tried to slam his foot into my stomach, but I shoved him back."LET ME FINISH!! I MISS SHIKORA AND I KNOW YOU THINK I MEANT TO KILL HIM ON ANGER, BUT I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL HIM!!" I yelled looking at him, tears rushing down my face."D-Don't you dare lie Alex! You know you meant to kill him, and you know that you did it in anger. You said so yourself!" He yelled and came at me. I burst into flames with lightning surrounding the flame as well, and changed into Dragon Queen form. For a strange reason, the lightning never left, it still buzzed around my body. "Is Natsu using Lightning Flame mode?" I asked aloud. Haruniki backed away for a little bit. Then the thought hit me,"Is my Lightning Emporess magic combining with my Dragon Force?"

I shook it away and got into a fighting stance,"If you won't listen while powerful, then I'll have to beat you first." We launched at each other.
___________________________
