The man descended the stairs gracefully, his presence was overwhelming. Natsu's gaze followed, never leaving him, as well as everyone else's. Natsu started to move, most likely to confront him but Lucy pulled him down quickly, she knew there was nothing anyone could do he was stronger than every one of them, he probably wouldn't hurt them though but she didn't want to take any chances. The man walked over to their side of the room and everyone froze, terrified, even Erza took a step back. Lucy knew that he was looking at her, knowing exactly who she was. She felt the dagger she always kept by her side, the one thing that she always had close to her from which she had stolen from hell, always right on her belt. She knew it wouldn't kill him, she didn't want to use it but she was ready to do anything to keep her friends out of his path and his destruction. 

"I wouldn't use that dagger if I were you Lucillia, you could end up hurting more people than you think" Lucy tensed but didn't let it show as the man spoke, his voice cold and demanding. Quickly, before Lucy could stop him suddenly Natsu stepped towards him, his voice filled with anger.

"Who are you and what do you want, you say you want someone from our guild but I'm pretty aware no one here goes by the name Lucillia" Makarov glared at Natsu, watching him closely.

"Natsu." his voice was a warning which it seemed both the man and Natsu ignored.

"My name you ask for? You might know it you may not, I go by many names from many different places around the world, a common one though I go by is Lucifer, the devil if you will, I am the King of Hell. And if I may return the question, who are you" The introduction seemed to take everyone by surprise. King of Hell. Whispers went around the room, the air shifted, and everyone was on guard. Natsu though just continued to stare at him, right in the eyes. Lucy almost wanted to slap him and hug him at the same time for being too stupid and being brave. But she knew he had no idea really who he was facing.

"My name is Natsu Dragneel, mage of Fairy Tail" Lucifer looked at Natsu up and down.

"I see, you're the son of that dragon Igneel" Natsu's mouth dropped open at the comment. Happy put a paw in front of his mouth curling straight into Lucy. Wendy and Gajeel also seemed to stand up from where they were seated. 

"How do you know Igneel?" Natsu's voice came out quickly and Ankoku just laughed.

"Fire dragon, Hell, I'm sure you can connect the dots yourself, but I don't know him, I never really liked dragons, they were a nuisance to me, only good at guarding our castle but they had so many emotions, too many. But alas, my daughter, Lucillia always played with the dragons, she had a soft spot for them, and I allowed it as they were powerful creatures." His answer intrigued Natsu but he wasn't stupid, as much as he wanted to ask about Igneel and know more he knew that he had to stay on track. The guild was more important at this moment. 

"I already told you though, there is no one in this guild called Lucillia, I'm not sure want you want or really who you want but I think you have the wrong place, and even if you don't I wouldn't let you take any of my friends away." Lucifer laughed, echoing through the guild making everyone look down, almost afraid to make eye contact with him. His presence was strong, it was pure evil. Smirking as he looked around the room.

"You may think that, but my daughter is here." He looked around the room before extending his arms, and addressing everyone, his voice booming. 

 "Lucillia if you don't reveal yourself to me everyone in this room will die. Don't think for a second I care about these puny people you call your friends or what life you think you have here. You are my daughter, you have a destiny, and that is to come back to hell with me, you have your duties and people to fulfill and you have just wasted her on earth. If you don't step out and reveal herself now I will kill every single person in this guild". Lucy took a deep breath and stared at her father, she hated, the fact that she never disobeyed her father, she was the perfect child, she never did anything out of line, she did whatever her father said, she tortured, she killed, she even lead a battle into war and was victorious, that was though, until she ran. She had tried to get out, she had always watched earth from afar but always dreamed of seeing it up close, the more she watched the more she saw how people treated each other, how people really were. She only ever got to hear it from the people that she was torturing so, she went herself and ran. But even then, even after she had escaped hell, he had power over her. If he had told her to attack Natsu, she probably would do it, not because she wanted to, she knew if she had to she would cry and scream and resist as best as she could, but because he had power over her, she was just another slave, he could kill her anytime he wanted, he was one of the reasons she left hell, he was pure evil, yet so was Lucy. She knew she wasn't a good person, she knew she had done bad things, but at the same time she was ready to turn over a new leaf, to make something better of herself, and she was not about to let her friends die, so she did what anyone would of done and she stood up and turned to face her father.
