Chapter 12, Trouble
Lucy's Pov,
We all kept watching as Natsu was sitting on some rocks in the South area. I saw him sniffing the air making him smirk and stand up. Soon the leader of Grimoire Heart came out of the shadows. "Zancrow" Natsu's voice was cold and harsh as Zancrow smirked his hands setting on fire. His fire was black as coal as Natsu set his own hands on fire. "Let's see who's more powerful a Dragon or a God" Zancrow burst out laughing like a mad man as he ran at Natsu. I started to get worried a little for Natsu as I remembered the letter.
"You think I only have one team in this don't you?" I heard Mard Geer's voice in my head making my eyes widen. I looked his way to see him, he was looking straight at me. "Lucy?" Igneel asked worried as my hands were shaking a little. Igneel soon followed my line of sight. "Lucy come with me" Igneel stood up leaving the balcony as I got up and followed. I just wanted to leave Mard Geer's line of sight. The others looked at me worried as Igneel and I headed back to mine and Natsu's room.
"What did he tell you?" Igneel asked as we stopped in a hallway. "H-he has more than one team" I answered and then hugged myself. "There's something you should see" I then whispered as Igneel raised an eyebrow at me. We soon headed to my room as I went to one of my jackets to get the letter that was sent to me. I then passed it to Igneel. "He plans on killing Natsu" I could hear my own fear and worry. Igneel set the letter on fire as he then placed a hand on my shoulder. "He won't touch my son" he then sounded so sure.
"Really Igneel?" a voice asked as Igneel froze up and turned around fast. I then saw a man standing in the doorway.
"Acnologia" Igneel snapped his hands setting on fire as he got into a fighting stance. Acnologia looked at me. "You look just like your mother Princess" he made me freeze up. I felt myself start to shake as Igneel ran at him. Igneel punched him around the face but it didn't do a thing as Acnologia looked at Igneel with an emotionless face. "NATSU AND ZANCROW ARE BOTH TIED IN FIRST PLACE" I heard the voice of the speaker echo around the room. Natsu was ok. I knew he could look after himself.
"LEO THE LION" I shouted as Loke soon showed up in front of me. His hands glowing a golden colour as I felt he was more powerful. He always had more power when I summoned him by his real name. Acnologia blasted Igneel past me and into the wall with a water blast. "Loke be careful" I was worried as even I could sense his power. Loke ran at Acnologia, using his magic to punch him into a wall. Loke had amazing close up fighting skills. "Lucy you have to get out of here" Igneel mumbled as I turned around.
I soon hurried to his side. "Your hurt" I whispered seeing him bleeding. "Get out of here" he ordered with a roar shocking me. I soon left the room, heading down the hallways. I didn't know my way around or have anyone to help me. I just kept going as I was getting lost. I soon heard the crowd cheering like mad. "WINNER OF MATCH ONE, NATSU DRAGNEEL" the voice shouted as I froze. I stopped moving as I smiled. He was alright. I knew he could do it but I was worried about Mard Geer. I then walked down some stairs to see Zancrow.
He was being helped with walking as he had a bad limp and was covered in bruises. "Letting Igneel die just like your parents?" I heard Mard Geer's voice again as it hit a point. It made me snap as my eyes started watering. I then ran backwards hoping to head back to my room. "WINNER OF MATCH TWO, ROGUE" I heard the voice echo around the room along with many cheers. Seems Rogue was a crowd favourite. Soon I saw Loke getting blasted down the hallway heading toward me. I soon moved to have my back on the wall to just miss being hit.
"LOKE" I shouted worried rushing to his side. He was coughing up blood as he started to vanish back to the Celestail World. "I'm a little rusty" he whispered before he vanished. I then looked and saw Acnologia standing there, Igneel laying on the ground next to him. He looked badly hurt. "Igneel" I whispered my eyes widening as they also watered. Acnologia started to walk toward me. "WINNER OF MATCH THREE IS A TIE" the speaker then echoed around the hallway as I was frozen in place. I was frozen in fear.
Fear of the past happening again on this day. That because of me Igneel was gone. That Natsu would lose his father. "Come with me and I will let Igneel live" Acnologia was soon standing in front of me, offering his hand. I was staring at knocked out, bleeding Igneel. I was shaking as I fell on my knees. My mind remembering the past. How I was still that weak. How I couldn't help anyone. How I was just bad luck, getting people killed. Acnologia sighed and grabbed my arms, forcing me to stand.
T-this couldn't be happening again. "CAPRICORN" I then shouted as he showed up in front of me and Acnologia, punching him away from me.
