Minna! (Everyone!) How have you all been? I was thrilled with the new extra chapter of Fairy Tail! Oh my gosh did you all see it already? Their stone age version is way better than the manga itself. Kidding! But, literally, I was screaming my head off with all the fan girling especially when Natsu held Lucy, protecting her from the other girls and shouting "She's mine!" O_O. It's confirmed! My ship has finally sailed and battling all the navy ships haha. Well, now that I was able to get my reaction here, here's the good news. Guys and girls out there, please tell me what you'll think of this first chapter. I will post my next one as soon as I'm done with my training. See you guys in the comment box! Enjoy!

"I just want to......all I really want is to.....have more...adventures with you", Lucy smiled through the pain she is feeling. Blood is trickling down the right side of her forehead. There were dirt on her clothes and the pain surging to her whole body is not enough to bring her down.

"Natsu...", she mumbled softly. There he is, standing in front of her, readying himself for another attack.

"Dragon Slayer Secret Art", he made his attacking stance. More like, his last attack is coming and nothing will be able to stop it from coming.

"Natsu.....", she said again. She said something very low to hear and then she gave him the warmest smile she can ever give. He seemed to hesitate a little.

"Crimson Lotus Exploding Flame Blade!", he announced. He unleashed his magic and Lucy just closed her eyes as the impact came.

Lucy's apartment....

"Lucy", Erza tried calling to her friend. However, Lucy did not respond.

"Any luck?", Gray asked. Erza shook her head.

"Hmmm, is she sleeping that soundly that she can't even muster a sound?"

"She's probably tired. She's still suffering from her loss of power. We shouldn't force her", Erza said.

"Well if you say so. It's quite unusual for her not to be on the mood though. She's usually the one stubborn to look for Natsu", Gray scratched the back of his head.

"Come to think of it....Gray, can you try making a key to this door?", Erza asked.

"What? I know I can make things but not without something to copy", Gray said. "Besides, I'm not that perverted to do this to a friend", he blushed a little.

"No other way huh? Let's try barging in through the window", Erza walked down the stairs as she talks.

"Hey wait a minute. Why would you do that?", Gray asked.

"Lucy may not be in the room", Erza said.

"What?"

"I don't sense anyone in the room....at all", Erza stopped looking up to Lucy's window.

"Hey wait a second here", Gray was practically trying to stop Erza from doing something so reckless and vulgar so early in the morning.

"What are you two doing?", both mage turned to see who interrupted them.

"Happy?!"

Fairy Tail Guild....

"Haaaah", Lucy yawned loudly.

"Are you sleepy? You know you can rest as much as you want", Mirajane smiled sweetly at her.

"Nope. I still have somewhere to go with Erza and the others", Lucy rested her chin to the bar counter.

"Figures. Everyone here is out doing the exact same thing", Mirajane said.

"Well, you know them", Lucy looked glumly at her thighs.

"LUCY!", she turned around when the doors opened with a loud banging sound.

"What the? Why are you guys so flustered?", Lucy exclaimed.

"Why did you leave your place? I thought we agreed we're going to pick you up?!", Erza scolded.

"Well, yesterday, Mira sort of held me hostage here in the guild", Lucy sweat-dropped.

"Ah-huh. I made her spill some lady's talk yesterday, Erza. Lisanna is with us and we made a cake for her to eat. Oh come to think of it I still have some left", Mira started walking to the back.

"No thanks, we have to go", Erza said.

"Well, too bad. I mean there are a lot of strawberries", as soon as Mira left that sentence, Erza is already at her seat.

"Since you say it like that, I think it will be rude to decline the offer", Erza blushed a little. She clearly loves strawberry cake.

"I'm happy you will take it. Gray have some as well", Mira put another plate for Gray.

"I guess we don't have a choice", Gray sat down and began eating.

"Lucy, how are you feeling?", Happy asked.

"Quite good actually and I can move around a little better, though, I still feel so stiff and my wounds aren't all healed yet", Lucy said.

"That's good. You have to rest up a bit more alright?", Happy stayed with her ever since she woke up.

Considering Natsu's disappearance, Happy doesn't have anywhere else to go but stay with Lucy which the latter was thankful for. She's rarely alone and Happy is such a good companion to be around. It's like she has her own personal wet nurse.

"Is Lucy-san and the others still here?", they all saw Wendy running to them while trying to catch her breath in the process.

"Wendy? What is it?", Gray asked.

"Lucy-san! We.....we....we found him!", Wendy blurted out.

"Found who?", Lucy asked back.

"Natsu-san! We found Natsu-san!", Wendy cried out.

"EH?!", Lucy instantly stood up and ran out the door.

"Lucy!", Erza and Gray trailed behind.

Hargeon port.....

"Oi...this is bad isn't it?", Rogue spit some blood from his mouth.

"I don't know what's happening anymore", Sting wiped his own blood.

"Hey! Stop it already will you?!", Lyon shouted out.

"We've already evacuated the people around the area", Yukino reported.

"Thanks. Now that's left is him", Jura looked at the man intensely.

"Natsu!", all of them looked back to see who called out. They all saw Gray with Erza trailing behind.

Natsu's ears perked up a little and looked at them. He showed no difference with Gray and Erza as he did with Sting and the others.

"Natsu?", Gray asked, he doesn't like what Natsu's giving off. They seem to be in batlle judging from the stance Lyon and the others are making.

"Did we missed something?", Erza asked.

"Natsu is a little off, he doesn't seem to recognize any of us", Jura said.

"What's more, he takes us as the enemy. We've been fighting him for hours now", Rogue explain.

"Hey, where's Lucy-san? Don't tell me she knows and took her with you", Sting asked between attacks.

"Well about that...", Gray made an apologetic look.

"N...Natsu?", all surprised faces turned to see Lucy closing in as Happy landed her. Lucy tried to get a little closer. When she did, Natsu made an attack.

"No, look out!", Sting warned.

Gray took Lucy and Happy away from the spot as Erza readied her sword and stopped Natsu's fiery punch.

"What do you think you're doing, Natsu?", Erza looked at him angrily. Clearly, this isn't the Natsu they know.

Natsu smirked and ignited his fist more. The sword began to melt down in a fast pace and Erza has no other way but to jump back.

"What happened to you man? Can't you see Lucy's worried for you?", Gray shouted out. Lucy looked at him with worry. "Don't tell me you don't recognize her at all?"

"Natsu?", Happy is crying already. He doesn't want to see his friend this way.

Natsu aimed his focus to Lucy and once again, he set out to attack her. This time, all present did their best to intercept him. One by one, they were being pushed back by Natsu.

"I don't know what's happening here, but, I think it will be best to take Lucy back to the guild", Erza ordered.

Gray nodded and looked at Lucy.

"Lucy, listen. You have to go back. You can't fight him if he goes berserk. Happy, take her away", he instructed and Happy flew back with Lucy in his arms.

"Tch", Natsu made an irritated sound and did what he can to make a rampage. Sting and the others were blown away with his immense magic.

"Stop this Natsu-san. Do you intend to destroy the whole port?", Sting asked. Natsu didn't say a word. He just keeps attacking.

"I can't hold him much longer. You guys should do what you can to stop him", Sting shouted out.

In an instance they were all surprised by his sudden movements. Natsu literally disappeared from their sight. It was a moment after when they heard Happy's voice breaking to an unimaginable cry of pain.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!"

"Oh no, Happy! LUCY!", Gray and the others ran their way and saw the two falling down with Natsu right in front of them.

"Happy!", Lucy grabbed the Exceed with care. Lucy will fall head first so she just closed her eyes.

Natsu took them both and Lucy should have felt happy with that however, Natsu strangled her on her neck and looked at her with fury; with the intent to kill.

"Nat....su?", Lucy stuttered. This was the first time she looked frightened at Natsu. She never thought a day would come when she will really be afraid of him.

His grip tightened and Lucy struggled to breathe.

"Natsu stop!", Erza shouted out.

"Darn you don't you dare hurt her!", Sting angrily said.

"Bastard!", Gray made his stance. Natsu leaped away but still held at Lucy.

"Get away from her!", Gray scowled.

"Natsu? Why?", Lucy threw little cat punches on him to no avail. She's losing consciousness and she's already crying. Lucy is having troubles with breathing.

Nasu, seeing her tears, loosened his grip a little. He was taken aback and stopped his rage. For a moment, he looked shocked and stayed still. He just stood there while holding her.

"Gaaah!", Natsu was separated from Lucy when a metal arm landed on his face and sent him flying a few feet away. Lucy slumped helplessly to the ground.

"What? I just came back and this is my welcome?", Lucy opened her eyes and saw Gajeel's arm extended to tackle Natsu with Lily and Levy in front of her to protect her.

Natsu wiped a drop of blood from his lips and looked at him angrily.

"What is the meaning of this? Salamander?!", Gajeel angrily asked.

"Lu-chan?!", Levy was worried as she looked at the unconscious Lucy.

"Her wounds are still open you dimwit!", Gray shouted out. From behind him, Mirajane and the others are already making their way.

"Wendy please!", Happy shouted out. Wendy nodded as she fasten her pace.

Natsu was about to attack once more.

"Fall back", they heard a voice said. Natsu took out something under his cloak – a crystal lacrima which glowed brightly. A magic circle was transformed at his feet and he started to disappear.

"Don't go! Natsu!", Erza and the others ran to stop him.

"I'll be back....", he managed to say softly. Everyone's eyes widened. "To kill her", he finished. With that, Natsu disappeared completely.

"What....", Erza and the others can't believe what they just heard; and from Natsu nonetheless.

"He disappeared?", all muttered out with shock.

"We have to get back to the guild", Levy told them. "Lu-chan's wounds are opening up again. She's bleeding!"

"Oh no, Lucy!", Cana and the other girls are worried for her.

"Hurry Gray!", Erza ordered.

"We'll handle the mess here. Go tend to her!", Sting shouted out before leaving with the other members of the Ballam Alliance.
