Hello guys, I am thinking of stopping this work for a while. Don't have any violent reactions, please. I have a very good reason to do so. But, depending on my health and my ability to keep writing stories, I will definitely post more chapters as soon as I can. Sorry everyone! Please don't hate me. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter.

"Natsu!", Lucy coughed with worry at her eyes. Debris were falling as the building is starting to collapse.

"Don't worry about me idiot, try to leave this place!", Natsu is having a hard time pushing the rock away. He doesn't have any more strength left in him to blow the thing off. He looked back at Lucy, hoping to see she's already trying to run away but then he saw her waving her hands with a key. The magic circle was summoned and the gate to the desired celestial spirit was opened.

"Virgo......", Lucy panted. "Please..."

Virgo bit her lip and ran towards Natsu. The rock was shattered and as he looks at Lucy, he's already falling down. All he saw was Lucy smiling at him and mouthed the words which he never wanted to hear in their current situation.

"LUCY!!!!!"

Lucy opened her eyes instantly with sweat building in her entire body. She panted heavily as she held her chest. She is still in the infirmary but since it's night time, it's a little dark inside the room. She saw Levy sleeping soundly beside her.

"Lucy?", she noticed Happy making his way to her side with a fish at his paws. "I have an extra fish, you want to share with me?", he asked.

Lucy took him and cried a little. Somehow, having Happy beside her is comforting.

"If you want, you can have all of it. I don't have the appetite to eat this after all", he said.

"Thanks Happy", she cried out.

Happy knows how Lucy must be feeling right now so he hugged her with all his might.

Natsu's POV....Flashbacks...

"Where..."¸he look ed at his surroundings as he tries to register what is happening.

Debris started to fall and he used his instinct to dodge them. A rock fell on top of him and he was unable to move from the spot.

"Natsu are you alright?", he saw Yunehart trying to make his way to him. Blood is dripping from his shoulders as he held an unconscious Milly who looks like she seemed better days.

"Don't worry about me idiot, try to leave this place!", Natsu is having a hard time pushing the rock away. He doesn't have any more strength left in him to blow the thing off. He looked back at Yunehart and Milly, hoping to see they're already trying to run away but then he saw someone else. Their master, Misha, summoned a magic circle and tried to blow the rock from him.

"Master, just try to leave this place, please!", Natsu cried out.

The magic that was about to crush the huge rock stopped when it was interrupted by another blow.

"I won't let you all off so easily", he saw Lucy holding a key with a smug smile on her face.

"Why you...", Natsu angrily looked at her.

"I'll make sure you all die here!", Lucy readied her whip and started lashing at his companions.

"Master! Yunehart!", Natsu struggled against the rock. Just as the situation is starting to get worse, Sasha and Kirshna came to their rescue shoving Lucy away from them.

"Are you alright?!", a blue cat held Lucy in place.

"I'm alright, Happy"¸ Lucy recovered and readied herself again.

"We're falling back", Sasha and Kirshna made a hole in the ground and had their exit. They also helped Natsu to free himself out of danger. Before the fall to the ground, he saw Lucy mouthing some words to him as he lost his consciousness.

End of flashbacks

Natsu opened his eyes. It was the familiar dark cave that he was in 2 months ago.

"You're awake now?", Yunehart asked.

"Yeah, pretty much. What happened?", Natsu asked.

"You fainted inside the Master's room. I don't blame you though, you tend to have aftershocks knowing what happened 2 months ago", Yunehart smiled a little without Natsu knowing of what he did.

"Is that so? I recalled...of what ahappened that day", Natsu held his head.

"Don't force yourself", Yunehart said.

"Where are Milly and the others?",

"They're out taking care of something", Yunehart said. "You should rest some more. I think Milly cooked something for dinner. Be sure to eat it well. That might be the only thing she's good at", Yunehart laughed a little and started to walk away.

"Hey...", Yunehart stopped and looked back. "Thanks for helping me back there. You know, for not leaving me behind...two months ago", Natsu said.

"No worries, buddy. We look out for each other", Yunehart said.

"I swear I'm going to get revenge on what happened tenfold!", Natsu ignited his fist with fury.

Yunehart smiled darkly at that and continued his pace.

"So, we have a better mission that the last time?", Kirshna said.

"Kirshna, we were only sent to kill a girl and a troublesome cat who knows how to fly", Sasha said.

"That's no fun. I'll have the girl and you take care of the cat", Kirshna ratted out.

"No way! You get the cat and I'll handle the girl", Sasha scowled.

"Hey now, I'm older than you so I get to pick!", Kirshna said.

"Only by ten seconds!", Sasha stated.

"Stop it you two!", Milly stopped them before they engaged in a more heated battle. "The skies are starting to make a commotion because of you. We only need to kill the girl and the blue cat and present their dead bodies to Misha-sama. Don't blow this up", Milly reminded the two.

"Yes, sister", the two pouted.

"Well now.....this is interesting", a voice echoed from their backs.

Milly held the two girls and leaped away from their spot.

A chain link started to crept away when it did not catch them.

"Show yourselves!", Milly shouted out.

"You have some nasty reasons to be visiting Fairy Tail. We can't just let you walk away with that", a woman's voice replied this time.

Two figures made their way out the forest.

"Since we don't want anything to happen to our friend, we might as well stop you right here, right now", the man smirked.

"Arthur-sama did instruct us to assist Fairy Tail with all we have", the woman readied her trusted weapon.

"So you're allies with the target, huh?", Milly smirked. "Good. There's nothing more interesting than having difficulties in achieving our goal. Nothing goes without a fanfare!", she gesture for her two comrades to start their attack.

"Good thing I brought the best instrument to play well with you", Minora readied Crucis to stop them.

"You can leave them to me, sister", Kirshna said.

"You're sure?", Milly asked.

"Quite", the latter grinned. With that, Milly ran like lightning. She's gone with Sasha in an instant.

"Tidus, don't you dare let them get away!", Minora ordered.

"As you wish, Milady", Tidus vanished in a fast pace.

"What?", Kirshna was so surprised.

"Looks like this will be interesting", Minora smirked back at her. She expanded Crucis and stopped Kirshna's attacks. The difference in power was shown and without a doubt, Kirshna is years too early to challenge Minora in a fight.

"Yeah, I thought so too", another voice echoed. When Minora heard it, she flinched. Surely, she recognize the voice. Crucis' hold of Kirshna did not last much longer.

"It can't be", she cried out.

"Good thing Lady Misha is one step ahead of everything"

"Colossus!", Kirshna gleefully shouted out.

"I'll hold her off. Leave them to me and go forth to your mission", he said. "Your sister needs more help in abstaining her partner"

"Thanks!", Kirshna suddenly turned and followed to the path Milly had taken earlier.

"You look well. It's been a while, Minora", Colossus smirked.

"I don't really have the interest to make amendments with past ties. Especially not from a treacherous man like you!", Minora showed some awkwardness in him. She must be measuring the level of power the man in front of him has. She knows he's a lot stronger than the one she's fighting, and stronger than her to be precise.

"That's too bad. And here I am expecting for us to have a little chat!", Colossus started to attack her.

Misha's room....

"Milady?", Yunehart entered the dark room.

"You better give me good results, Yunehart", Misha said coldly.

"I'm finished replicating his memories. I think he believes everything he remembers.

"He better be. It won't be long before I get to give Layla's daughter a painful death she definitely deserves", Misha angrily said.

"Have you heard anything from Milly and the twins?", Yunehart asked.

"For someone who always threaten her in making her kill herself, you sure show some affection", Misha said.

"I can't help it. They are still my siblings", Yunehart said.

"Colossus is with them", Misha said.

"What? He returned?", Yunehart was stunned.

"Along with the others. Now, we have a war to be ready for. Assemble the men!", Misha ordered. "We will bring an end to Fairy Tail. We will burn it to the ground leaving nothing behind but ashes"
